KnotMore is proud to be North American distributor of Settanyl brand cord from Linhas Setta.
KnotMore.com is owned by me, Dawn Standera.
I finally got tired of trying to find waxed polyester cord
for the art form I am passionate about
– tapestry knotting, sculptural knotting, and micro-macrame.
So, I imported 9,100 spools of cord which are now ready to ship to you!
KnotMore has all 75 colors of Settanyl in stock and ready to ship.
Each spool has 175 yards (160 meters) – that's a lot of cord!
Don't need 175 yards? No worries, you can buy 50 feet at a time.
Who uses our cord?
Fiber Artists, Basket Makers, Book Binders,
Broom Makers, Knotters, Micro-Macrame Artists,
Leather Workers and More!
I am committed to the promotion of your art form as well as you, the artist, our customer. Keep in touch.

Strategically placed in June Daugherty's Washington State women's basketball office, between pictures of her twins, sits an equally important item — a basketball signed by famed coach Marv Harshman.
Daugherty kept her gaze on the ball as she spoke by phone about Harshman, who died Friday at the age of 95. Daugherty, a former coach at Washington, knew Harshman for more than 30 years, visiting him last fall at his assisted living home.
"He always called me 'Junie,' " Daugherty said. "And I'll never forget, one of the first phone calls I got in my new (WSU) office was from him. 'Junie, you're doing things backwards! I did it the opposite way, but that's OK. I just called to wish you all the best.' I was just like, 'Wow, he still loved the Cougs.' "
Harshman's 40-year coaching career ended in 1985 after 14 years at UW. He had coached for 13 seasons at WSU before that.
Before his health declined, Harshman also would drop by Huskies women's basketball practices to critique the team and coaching staff at the request of Daugherty.
"He had such an eagerness to coach, and how important it was that the game be played a certain way," Daugherty said. "And he was so humble."
Daugherty still was learning from the Hall of Fame coach during her last visit.
She described his room at the assisted living facility as a museum laced with memorabilia from Harshman's career. He still was knowledgeable about the state's teams, including the WSU women. He also continued to offer coaching tips mixed into stories about basketball's past.
"We've lost the Big Three, if you think about it," Daugherty said of John Wooden, Pete Newell and now Harshman. "They were the best people and basketball minds that really influenced so much about what we do, whether it's women's basketball or men's basketball on the collegiate level. I'm so blessed to have known coach Harshman."

We spent a week having fun with dinosaurs, choosing a book and a few activities for each day. I used this week to explain that God is bigger, stronger and smarter than anything we can imagine, even dinosaurs.
How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out. "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. Job 36:26-30 (NIV)
Whybrow and Reynolds, Harry and the Dinosaurs at the Museum. Koala Books, 2005.
- painting over a white crayon dinosaur drawing (pictured below in collage)
- making fossils (we used plastic dinosaurs in a salt dough, then baked the dough imprints. Idea from here)
- dinosaur dig
- trip to the museum (my favourite activity of the week. The little man was impressed by the dinosaur bones, "all the way to the roof!")

'Idol' recap: Choice items
INTERIOR. A DARK HOLLYWOOD SOUNDSTAGE. Dressed in a slinky, metallic-sequined gown, a blindfolded SYESHA MERCADO is led by a pair of GOONS to center stage, where she is tied to a wooden post. One of the men lights the extra long cigarette hanging from Syesha's mouth. She inhales, chin held high, betraying no hint of fear or desperation.
Suddenly, the floodlights are switched on. Syesha finds herself facing an angry semicircle of VIOLIN PLAYERS. From stage left, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER NIGEL LYTHGOE rubs his hands and salivates, while a deathly quiet falls over the audience. The JUDGES take their seats and prepare to speak.
Suddenly, the floodlights are switched on. Syesha finds herself facing an angry semicircle of VIOLIN PLAYERS. From stage left, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER NIGEL LYTHGOE rubs his hands and salivates, while a deathly quiet falls over the audience. The JUDGES take their seats and prepare to speak.
RANDY: What's goin' down, Syesha? So listen, dawg, in round 1, your Alicia Keys cover, I dunno...for me, for you, it started out a little rough for me, but ultimately, it was equal to Little David's ''And So It Goes.''
PAULA: Let me just start by saying that you look lovely tonight. You are authentically playing the role of Syesha with authenticity. And also, your performance of ''Fever'' was definitely more in tune than Rocker David's ''Dare You to Move.''
SIMON: What Paula and Randy are trying to say is it's a good thing we ended with the ''producers' choice'' round, because if I'm being honest, even if the sequins in your dress miraculously began to display the image of the Virgin Mary in front of an American flag, there's no way you'd be able to overcome the fact that we saddled you with that deplorable Rihanna knockoff from the Happy Feet soundtrack.
SYESHA lets the cigarette drop from her mouth. She smiles broadly, and though her mike has been shut off, she gamely mouths the words ''Idols oh two.'' Seconds later, however, a trapdoor opens up beneath Syesha, and she falls out of view. The camera cuts to Ryan.
RYAN: Syesha, your journey ends tonight.
Backstage, NIGEL and his fellow producers jump up and down excitedly, while confetti rains down from the ceiling.
NIGEL: [Tearfully.] David wins! And so does David!
Yeah, so maybe that's not exactly how season 7's penultimate American Idol performance episode played out. And I'm not going to pretend to make a compelling case that over 13 weeks of live performances, Syesha has proven she truly belongs in the final two. What I will say, though, is that in a season where my very favorite TV show has repeatedly undermined its own credibility judging some contestants before they've actually performed, praising others even when they noticeably botch kind-of-important details like, oh, their lyrics it would've been nice if the Mistress of the Bottom Two had been allowed to compete on a musically level playing field with the dueling Davids.
Okay, end of rant. Because, keeping it really real, dawgs (yes, I just used a season 5 Randy-ism; 18 weeks into the current Idol season, I'm running out of fresh sentence transitions), and putting aside any overt or subconscious efforts by the production to sabotage her, Syesha was merely good tonight when she needed to be great.
NEXT: The judges score!

When Danny Culpepper sent his son, Fletcher, a text message on Oct. 22, asking if he could carry some material in to camouflage his ladder stand, he had no idea Fletcher was sitting in and had just shot a deer from it. He knew only that his 27-year-old son was hunting the 55 acres, which is why he thought to ask before driving back there.
To learn that Fletcher was actually hunting from his stand was a bit shocking. Kiddo had ribbed him about the poor placement, saying it was too obvious and that he'd stick out like a sore thumb if he sat in it, which is why Danny was bringing the camo.
"It's funny," Fletcher said. "I'd told Dad: 'You're NOT going to get a shot at a deer from that stand.' I'd been nagging him about it being too much in the wide open."
Fletcher was thrilled over his father's arrival, even if it meant he'd have to eat a little crow. The timing couldn't have been better, too, because he didn't want to get down from the stand and lose sight of the downed deer; he wanted to be able to shoot again, if it regained its feet.
So he told Danny to come on in, and he directed him to the still-dead whitetail.
"Why'd you shoot such a small buck?" his father yelled. "It's half as big as the one on your brother's camera."
Fletcher was sure the deer was no slouch, but he couldn't help second-guessing his estimate until Danny started chuckling.
"No, son, I think you've shot a new state record," he amended.
Turns out, it's a close runner-up.
Fletcher made the most of his time off from work -- courtesy of a busted collarbone -- during the first week of the Peach State's rifle season by playing musical stands on the 55 acres he, his brother and father hunt. He wound up shooting a 260-pound, 4 1/2-year-old buck that some wanted to nickname Deerzilla, since it was taken a couple of counties west of where the infamous Hogzilla was shot in 2004.
As the late Paul Harvey might've phrased it: Stay tuned for the rest of the story, which is slated to appear in RACK magazine next August.

Manufacturer: Knoll
Brand Beginnings Knoll was founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll who sought to create new types of furniture and environments for the home and workplace. Their approach was to join craftsmanship with technology through the use of design and to create beautiful home furnishings that stood the test of time visually, functionally and practically. The pair sought out designers willing to change the landscape of modern design, daring to ask how furniture could work better. These landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Richard Schultz built a brand that today contains many of the hallmarks of modern design.
Knoll Today Knoll enjoys brand recognition throughout the world for its modern classics as well as groundbreaking new products formulated under new deigner partnerships. Few companies can match the array of Knoll products, which combine a modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects to a new generation seeking workplaces and homes that are comfortable for and beautiful for everyday living.
A Signature Piece The highly coveted Barcelona® Chair is, with little doubt, the signature Knoll piece. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is one of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement. Skilled craftsman construct this exquisite chair by hand every day. From leather produced from a single cowhide, 40 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted, and hand-tufted with leather buttons to upholster the chair. Premium cushions are highly resilient with a down-like softness that surrounds the sitter in luxurious comfort. Cushions are suspended by upholstery straps in cowhide belting leather over a metal frame that is hand-ground and hand-buffed to a mirror finish. Meticulously detailed, Barcelona continues to appeal to customers worldwide some 85 years after its introduction.
Why Knoll? The Knoll names offers a rich design history – a legacy of iconic designers and inventive new collaborations. Their focus on quality and responsible manufacturing means that each piece transcends multiple generations in both use and appeal. Knoll offers furniture, accessories, textiles, felts and leathers that stimulate the senses and allow you to express who you are and what you value. They take great pride in creating the best possible product and the happiest possible customer.

Farewell from Grow Harvest Cook
Four years ago 4 women, with a combined "lifetime" of experience in lifestyle publishing decided to publish a blog following their combined passions of food, photography, gardening and design. It was naturally named Grow Harvest Cook.
Over this time we have covered so many delicious garden grown ingredients, culminating in the production of the Grow Harvest Book of the same name, which has over 280 recipes and garden tips. Grow Harvest Cook has now decided that this is a good time to hang up their tools, fold their apron strings and venture out on new projects solo.
The book of which we are all so proud will continue to be available at bookstores and online, and for a limited time.

Jazzfest Gronau
The most famous Folk Festival in Serbia
"I didn't know you could play trumpet thet way"
Miles Davis, a Guca Festival visitor.
The village of gucha in the Dragacevo district, peaceful and colorful part of western Serbia , has gained world fame owing to its Assembly of Trumpet Players, the largest trumpet event on the planet. The love of the people of Dragacevo for music, especially for the trumpet, began in the rule of Prince Milos Obrenovic, who ordered the formation of the first military band in 1831. From then until now the trumpet has reigned here uninterrupted while woodwind instruments, in keeping with the customs, warm the soul of its population. The sound of the trumpet traditionally accompanies every major event in Serbia's rural and small-town life: births, baptisms, weddings, Slav {family patron saint day}, farewell parties for those joining military service, state and church festivals, harvesting, reaping, and also departing this world. Appropriate music is played on these occasions, thus preserving the spirit of the existing tradition. The music is very diverse: from indigenous melodies, via kolo {a fast-rhythm chain dance}, marches and characteristic southern Serbia cocek dances, all the way to tunes that have emerged more recently, but always taking care to honor old harmonies. This music has won over the hearts of not only the local population, but has also warmed the hearts of outsiders and foreigners. In the several days of the Gucha festival, hardly anyone can resist giving themselves to the adrenalin-rushing rhythms and melodies that simply force one to jump to ones feet and dance.

Remembering MSG Roy Benavidez
As much as the pain in his crippled body, the constant barrage of criticism at America's involvement in Vietnam swelled the anger within his soul. On a daily basis he watched as the nightly news showed film of the American flag being burned, while he thought of those brave men he knew that were heading out for yet another mission on behalf of that flag. Each and every one willing to sacrifice it all and without complaint to serve their country.
He was one of them, or if the doctor's diagnoses proved correct, once was.

Amazing story. I share stories like these with my boys to instill in them the understanding that the life we live in the U.S. is not something to be taken for granted. The concept and actuality that is America is not guaranteed and is continuously being assaulted by naysayers. It is because there are women and men willing to serve in the Armed Forces and protect our way of life that America is even possible. Thank you to all who serve.
Thank you for re-visiting this great American's story. "American's don't quit."
My prayers and deepest respect for MSG Benavidez. His story is profound, and in the only way I can truly honor him, I have shared it with my grandchildren. Some here have also pointed to the air crews. I have the greatest respect for the HMM364 "Purple Foxes" (they had a purple fox logo saying "give a shit"). They fearlessly came in under fire to extract us. I wish I knew their names. There were other air crews. To all the air crews supporting SOF - thank you and God bless.
Wow, what an awesome story. I am Navy Viet Nam vet. I am in awe of this man. He set the standard for an MOH. Plus he was my race. I salute this man.
Thank you. Men like this are few and far between, and they always change the world. May we all remember that Americans don't quit.

Catching Up With The Golden Girls' Susan Harris
By Dustin Fitzharris
How long did it take you to write the pilot script?
I think it was the customary length of time, which is a few months. Of course you're talking about 25 years ago, and the fact that I remember anything is a miracle! We'll take it from there because last week is hard enough to come up with.
The show dealt with some heavy issues through the years. Was that a conscious decision?
We liked to tackle -- not outrageous issues -- but important issues. Things that I knew that people went through that hadn't been addressed on television. We did the same thing on Soap.
Speaking of Soap, you said that was your favorite show. Why?
I'll tell you why and what I meant. I didn't mean that it was my favorite. I meant that the form that it took -- the fact that you didn't have to tell a full story every week in 23 minutes and didn't have to have a beginning, middle, and end -- as a writer was such an enormous luxury. You could just have a story that never ended and could include scenes of just good talk. It was a luxury for me as a writer and for the actors. In 23 minutes, everything has to serve the plot. You can't spend time developing characters. Soap gave me that. I hate to lick a story more than anything in the world. I can't do it. I have a terrible story mind. As a writer, this was so much easier. That's why I said it was my favorite.
Let's talk about one of those episodes of The Golden Girls that dealt with a serious issue. It was the season premiere of the fifth season, which you wrote. The episode was called 'Sick and Tired,' and it focused on Dorothy getting chronic fatigue syndrome. That is something you suffered from. Does it still affect you today?
Yeah, it does. It's something that some people get over and others don't. I'm better now than I was -- much better than I was. For example, I used to be a runner, but I had to stop. Now I'm a walker. It's that kind of difference.
So many young people love this show. They can quote all of the lines.
Why do you think that is?
That's what I want to ask you!
I think number 1 it's funny. Secondly, I think this explains the wide appeal. I think everybody -- including younger people -- when they reach an age when they feel alienated, the thought of being alone and spending your life alone is terrifying. These women were at an age where they were alone and were likely to stay alone until they found each other. Then they constructed a family that really, really worked. They encouraged each other and had a life together. It showed that you didn't need the customary, traditional relationship to be happy. It paints a picture of all the possibilities for family. I also think young people like Sophia because she says whatever pops into her head!
Do you ever think The Golden Girls ever jumped the shark?
Ugh ' [long pause] Now, I didn't stay with the show. I was in and out for three years. After my experience with Soap it was too exhausting, and I just couldn't put myself through that again. Then I had a baby to raise. There was a period when I saw a few shows, and I told Paul I thought it had lost its touch with reality. It got silly. I don't know if the audience felt that way, but for me, it jumped my personal shark, which was keeping it real. Keeping the women real. Not joke machines.
What comes to mind when you hear the words The Golden Palace?
I think that lasted what, one year?

I was just told by a PT that it is physiologically impossible for me (a woman over 50) to build muscle. He said I can only make the muscle more dense and that I should be focusing on other types of working out instead of lifting heavy.
I would like to see some opinions on this as this is very disconcerting for me.

Escentric Molecules Fragrance Still Life
Escentric Molecules is an enigma. The brainchild of Style.com's Tim Blanks and branding guru Jeff Lounds, it has managed to be a huge commercial success whilst managing to retain it's 'niche' appeal. Even more remarkable is that it's done this with absolutely no advertising. The fragrance market is dominated by celebrity endorsed products and elaborate packaging so Escentric's simple, quiet approach is a refreshing alternative.
The fragrances were designed by the legendary Geza Schoen and are unique in their simplicity; the molecule versions containing only a single fragrance, and the escentric versions just a handful. Again, a radical departure from conventional fragrance thinking.
Photographing the understated but elegant bottles was always going to be a challenge. Restricting the lighting to the three primaries: red, green and blue, the purest colours that the eye can see, produced the result you can see below. I hope that in some way it reflects the purity of the fragrance.

Anthony Davis is a Policy Adviser at Plan UK.
In November, Justine Greening, the UK's Secretary of State for International Development, appeared before the International Development Select Committee in Parliament to give evidence about the framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), after 2015.
The new framework is a hot topic in the development world today. It will shape the future of development cooperation, and therefore the lives of millions of people around the world. Of course, there is still unfinished business about the MDGs, of which we must not lose sight, but it is crucial we get the post-2015 discussions right from the start.
While the UN Millennium Declaration and the subsequent MDGs galvanised development efforts, they were by no means perfect. The MDGs' targets and indicators have masked persistent and sometimes growing inequalities within and between countries. They failed to incentivise efforts to reach the most vulnerable segments of society, especially those marginalised because of their sex, ethnicity, disability or residence. Issues like child marriage, gender-based violence, early pregnancy and other forms of harmful practices were left out, despite their critical role in holding back the efforts in reducing poverty.
It is important to build on the existing MDGs, and any post-2015 framework should have human rights at its heart. It should reflect human rights values: of universality, non-discrimination, indivisibility and participation. It must be a progressive step forward from current international human rights standards.
One such standard is the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) which sets out the basic rights to be recognised to and enjoyed by all children. It is fitting the Secretary of State's evidence session took place today, on the 23rd anniversary of this important Convention.
Girls and boys constitute around half of the population in many developing countries and they are disproportionately affected by poverty. Despite the overwhelming case for prioritising investment in children for sustainable and effective development, their rights are all too often invisible on the international agenda. Adolescent girls were excluded to a large degree from the existing MDGs, despite the fact that investing in adolescent girls' rights to an education, healthcare and a protective environment is key to ensuring they lift themselves, their communities, and the wider world out of poverty.
The important role of women and girls (and their education) is recognised by the UK Government, as part of their continued leadership on international development within the international community. We welcome and support this focus, as shown through our global campaign on girl's education – Because I am a Girl. One of the best tools for achieving progress in gender equality and tackling poverty is to provide girls with at least 9 years of quality education. It is vital that a clear definition of quality education, including the promotion of gender equality, non-discrimination and human rights principles, and the delivery of gender sensitive curricula and teaching methods, are at the heart of the post-2015 agenda.
Part of this commitment includes addressing the barriers that keep girls from realising their right to an education, including child marriage, violence in schools and lack of access to adequate healthcare. As the most widely ratified human rights treaty, the CRC is an important framework for supporting and informing the post-2015 development agenda.
The Department for International Development is a leading voice that will be listened to throughout the negotiations on the post-2015 agenda. We are calling on the government to champion its focus on the right to an education during the negotiations for the creation of a framework that encourages an empowering and protective environment for women and girls.
We urge them to use this voice to ensure children's rights are not overlooked this time.

The Night of Broken Glass
In 1938, on the nights of November 9 and 10, the Nazis whipped up anti-Jewish riots in a pogrom now known as Kristallnacht.
During these two nights, synagogues were set on fire and thousands of Jewish shop windows were broken.
Ninety one Jews were killed. 30,000 were arrested and taken to camps, a harbinger of the Holocaust.

Spring breaker jumps in front of Corpus Christi patrol car, dances, lands in jail
Man spat on officers, threatened them, police said
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 21-year-old man who jumped out in front of a Corpus Christi patrol car and decided to dance for the officers landed in jail, police said.
Officers were patrolling Padre Island beaches at 8:17 p.m. when the man jumped out in front of the slow-moving car in the fog. Officers stopped without hitting the man, who refused to allow the car to pass, but instead danced in front of the car. The officers arrested Joe Newhouse for suspicion of public intoxication.
Officers said on the way to the City Detention Center, Newhouse began to curse and threaten the officers as well as kick the plexiglass partition. Officers said they tried to calm Newhouse down, more than once, but Newhouse spat at one of the officers, Newhouse continued to struggle against staff at the City Detention Center and ended up with an additional charge of suspicion of harassment by persons in a correctional facility, a felony. Newhouse is being held in Nueces County Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Just adding some audio so you can listen to the wolf howling Marilyn mentioned.
The PBS show Nova has a page devoted to wolf howling with some more recordings.
yES, OF coarse WOLVES AND DOGS CAN HEAR FREQUINCES THAT MOST HUMANS CANTPosted by: Kelsey
Wendy,Canines definitely can hear higher frequencies than we can but their vocalizations aren't in that range. Can you think of other reasons they might hear ultrasound?Posted by: Larry
That's awesome!! I love hearing them howl! Our last 3 brothers were marvelous at all howling together.:)Posted by: Marilyn
Holy cow, that is fantastic!Posted by: Leslie
Wolves and dogs have such a range in their vocalizations! Do they produce sounds we cannot hear?Posted by: Wendy A
Domesticated dogs, wolves, and coyotes are known to howl at sirens. Our old red wolves did too. Howling is thought to be a way to communicate over long distances ("I'm over here", maybe). Since signals degrade as they travel through the environment, animals often respond to sounds that are reasonably close to the qualities of the call. There is very little cost to responding incorrectly so higher discretion would not be rewarded.Posted by: Larry
Why do wolves howl? Are they trying to contact other wolves? If so, does that mean he thinks the firetruck is another wolf?Posted by: Beck

crying before school
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-30-2013 - 5:57pm
We have been in school almost 2 months and NOW we have started to cry that his belly hurts. It started Tuesday and he was so excited to go to school it was his classes turn to lead the prayer and he wanted to hold the flag. Of course he didn't get to he started off ok then as they started the pledge of alligence I could see he was holding back tears. And he kept looking over at flag so thought that was it. By the time they get to God bless America he is crying. I run over as it ends and I get my belly hurts. Now teachers son got to hold the flag so didn't mention thats what I thought it was. He went into school had a snack and bathroom trip and find rest of the day.
This morning he gets up ok but as I am getting out of shower older brother is yelling why are you crying and he is in hysterics. belly again...oh boy I needed a mental health day today but don't want to encourage that. Make him eat to see if he holds it down and he seems ok. get to school and he is fine but about 2 min before bell rings tears. Belly again. Teacher gets him to cheer up about it being gym day and a fun art project. Get him home tonight and decide to do some probing and he is afraid of the principal. Kind of makes sense for this morning and even yesterday, she was also on that side of yard. Now I will admit she is intiminating. I don't want to be called to her office but he is a good kid. He know when to stop talking and line up but he has to pass her every morning and is expected to say good morning and ok he is 5 weather is getting cold so he has a hat but its a catholic school so he has to remember to take hat off AND say good morning to the stern looking adult at the door...i'd be in a panic
Heart is melting for him and how do I tell him not be scared of her if I am!!!
|Thu, 10-31-2013 - 8:45am
|Thu, 10-31-2013 - 12:34pm
So did some more digging last night and that is just part of it. He is getting overwhelmed with the work. Its just a big adjustment and I am guessing its picking up. He was horrible this morning and didn't help the teachers were late coming out and kids in other kindy line goofying around and the principal came over and I'm kneeling in front of him because he was already crying and she looked over after scolding the other kids.

he stops crying when he is in school just seems to be in morning with me :(
|Fri, 11-01-2013 - 12:23pm
Oy he is killing me. So this morning tears started from time he got up. Was coming down stairs crying "I just need a break" We had had a talk last night because he was upset again. Thought he was getting a day off because big brother has a dentist appointment (appointment is Saturday but last month he had an orthodontist appointment on same day little brother had no school so now he associating big brothers dentist with no school) so he started crying about going to school so I took him aside and had a little talk. He likes school, likes his classmates and even ok with the work (this does flip flop) "then what's the problem" "mrs d…" I also noticed he wasn't finishing his lunch. When school started he was telling me he was STARVING and he would eat a sandwich and apple slices and bag was empty when he got home. Last week I noticed some apples and went from some to all to all and part of sandwich so this week cut back and still not finishing sandwich. He said he doesn't have time and he mentions Mrs. D again. Guess she is present at lunch and she must be monitoring and correcting behavior so not sure if maybe her presence is worrying him??
Now he doesn't get in trouble. He can have a soft voice so think sometimes if he does say good morning as expected when he passes her on the way in she may not hear. The first time I addressed it he mentioned the being quiet, hats off and good morning routine of line up and not sure if they expect no talking or soft talking during lunch but he said something last night of her doing the shhh thing at lunch. I mean no talking is a bit excessive to me but that doesn't mean they can be rowdy. Oh to be a fly on the wall and follow him one day…
I emailed the teacher and she said he is fine in class, has noticed the crying in line thing and we agree its anxiety but what next?? I tried explained they are teaching him manners and proper behavior. You should remove a hat when entering a building and its polite to say good morning. I do the same at work and do find it rude that have certain people who don't extend such a courtesy. He is such an out going child THIS should not be a challenge. My shy one yah but this kid was walking all the way into stranger houses on Halloween and high 5 ing drunks on a bench (oh that's another post) When he gets nervous or sad that's the shy voice that he gets in the morning at school. As for this fear of getting yelled at, dad and I do it ALL the time and it doesn't even phase him. This woman has never raised her voice at him and he terrified she will. At least he gets she is an authority but how do I get him over this anxiety when she is present. He should learn he needs to respect her as well as the teachers and other adult and understand rules and expectations but if he is behaving how do I get him not to panic that he is doing something wrong?

Moody's slashes Sony rating, now one downgrade away from junk
The main reason Moody's quoted is quickly declining sales of Sony consumer electronics. Smartphones might be the only exception in the Japanese company's business as it cut its forecasts for sales of digital cameras, TVs and gaming consoles.
Sony's Xperia smartphones at the same time grew and the company sold 8.8 million devices in Q3 2012, becoming the world's fourth-largest smartphone maker after Samsung, Apple and Huawei.

LOL @ Sony
5. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1104; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Man SONY just lose the attitude and we now you can deliver awesomeness in eleectronics so DO IT!
I mean as of late sony has lost TV business to Sammy and LG, phones to Sammy, Apple, etc, digital cameras to Nikon, Canon, laptops to a whole lot of players but gaming consoles are ok though since there are only two major players.
Sony is taking a lot of time to bring out their Yuga and Odin which have specs like today's phones....by the time they release it could be too little too late...and their laptops quality have taken a turn for the worse...only the high end ones are good the budget ones feel like plastic toys which is not the case with other manufacturers

someone in Sony has been making a string of wrong decisions. for instance, late adoption of dual core smartphones while the ones available being unable to compete price wise. experia arc s costing same as galaxy sii in their day! meeeh
6. lee480 (Posts: 178; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
lol what bulls**t...
Sony is failing not in mobile, in fact, it has beaten your favourite HTC and LG.... Get your facts right before spewing nonsense.
10. Commentator (Posts: 2494; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Yeah, during a quarter in which HTC and LG launched absolutely NO new products and Sony launched several. If the TL is the best they can do, I can't see their current drive maintaining traction.
This is unfortunate because I am a fan of both Sony's hardware and UI design.
4. deacz (Posts: 157; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Yea dunno I had both the Arc and the Gs2 and tbh I liked the arc more... go figure mainly because of the design with is still stellar.
7. byazatt (Posts: 159; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
sure, Sony's design is a killer, but in this case I would be lost with sii any day.

japanese electronic maker are going downhill. times are changing and it's the koreans and chinese that are growing. bad decisions ,poor marketing and expensive products are killing the japanese electronic makers like sony, panansonic and sharp. but having said that, quality wise japanese still rule! koreans like samsung just make great looking products but does not last as long as compared to their japanese counterpart.
11. GoBears (Posts: 384; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
Ha yeah right. Every single sony product I have ever owned failed prematurely. Well except for my W600i lol. Still have that. As far as I'm concerned I've already slashed Sony to "junk" rating.
12. oister85 (Posts: 410; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
That's right I agree with moody I own a sony tablet s and Walkman z there both are poor in software wise cellphones are always late. I hope sony gets better becouse that's my favorite brand
Att a sony fan
13. bipinm (Posts: 122; Member since: 07 Oct 2012)
Sony made many bad decisions earlier when Stringer was the CEO...They are paying the price for that now....But things are changing now...With the new CEO Hirai, Sony made a major restructuring and is ready to bounce back....
I know they can come back to the top...

Hello Doc!
I'm a 33 year old male with a fatty neck/ double chin. I'm very self conscious about it. I'm 6'2 185 lbs ( recently lost 25 pounds, but apparently not any from my neck/chin ). I don't drink or smoke and overall id say I'm in good health.
Never had any surgery before and a bit concerned that after the fat is sucked out my neck won't reshape properly and there will be loose skin. Does that often happen?

|Veteran Affairs
America's veterans and wounded warriors deserve the absolute highest quality medical care and benefits for their service in defense of the nation. Health care and benefit programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are unrivaled, but they are becoming strained and must adapt to meet the new demands for the 21st Century veteran.
In 2010, I was proud to support the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act. This expansive legislation improved and expanded many important VA services. It provides assistance for caregivers and family members who provide at-home care for veterans; transportation assistance for rural veterans to reach doctor and other medical appointments; a two-year pilot program that uses community organizations and local and state governments to increase access to health care services; expanded access to care, treatment, and services through non-VA facilities; and created a three-year pilot program on providing dental insurance to veterans and their survivors and dependents.
I was also pleased to support a new law that provides 2-year advance appropriations cycles for VA health care programs. This new authority gives the VA more flexibility to better plan for and provide services to returning veterans.
For rural veterans, like those in the 4th District, the most important thing is access to care close to home. To help Mid Michigan veterans, I also worked to get a new Community Based Outpatient Center in Clare to provide primary care close to home.
Equally important as medical care, we must ensure that veterans have the education and support to seamlessly reintegrate back into society and return to their civilian occupations. I was proud to support the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act in 2008, as well as improvements made to the program in 2010, to provide veterans tuition assistance for a college education, covering not only the cost of college but also housing and books.
More recently in November, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Veterans' Compensation Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) Act of 2011, with my support. The bill directs the VA Secretary to increase the rate of veterans' disability compensation and other benefits payments by 3.6 percent. This COLA increase will come as welcome news to our nation's veterans and their families who, because of the low rate of inflation, did not receive an increase in benefit payments in 2009 or 2010.
Additionally in November, Congress enacted a new law with my support titled the VOW to Hire Heroes Act. This legislation is aimed at lowering the rate of unemployment among our nation's veterans. The Act establishes a number of new jobs training programs and tax incentives for employers to hire members of the Armed Forces following their service.
Our veterans have served and defended America with honor and courage. During my time in Congress, one of my greatest privileges has been supporting policies that begin to pay back these brave men and women and their families for their service and sacrifice. I will continue to support legislation that provides our nation's veterans the benefits they have so bravely earned.

Villa Mecklin by Huttunen–Lipasti–Pakkanen Architects
Huttunen–Lipasti–Pakkanen Architects have designed the Villa Mecklin in Velkua, Naantali, Finland.
Description from the architects:
In early spring 2004 we travelled over the frozen sea to the island plot of a friend of ours in the archipelago municipality of Velkua. Our intention was to precisely determine the locations of the buildings we had sketched in the rocky island terrain. We had our ice fishing gear along with us, and once we had caught enough fish we moved with our tape measures to the plot. From the very start the set-up for this project differed from the norm. The buildings were built at a leisurely pace, and thus we were able to study the construction details and develop them on site, sometimes while fishing, having a sauna or relaxing during the evenings.
Villa Mecklin has mainly been a self-build project. Contract documents or complete working drawings were not necessary because any problems were resolved on site. Construction was made easier by designing all parts, from the frame to the details, to be as simple as possible.
The rocky northern cape of Mustaluoto Island shelters a boat marina on its eastern side. On the west-facing plot there are tall trees growing in the humus that has gathered in a narrow rock crevice. Otherwise the surroundings consist of exposed rock and low vegetation: moss, grasses, heather and juniper bushes.
The buildings were placed amidst the shelter of the narrow zone of trees. The main building sits in a small depression in the rock, its sheltered terrace extending over the summit of the rock. One arrives from the harbour to the entrance of the main building sheltered by the trees. After a descent of a couple of steps, the expansive landscape of the western shore, with its long vistas, unfolds. A fireplace has been sunk into the centre of the large terrace, accessed via a hatch in the decking. When the fire is not lit and the hatch is in place, it is possible to use the whole terrace as, for example, a dance floor. In connection with the shoreline sauna, there is also a stove-heated cabin for guests.
The building materials selected for Villa Mecklin are uncontrived, basic ones suited for the archipelago. All wood surfaces have been left untreated and will turn grey naturally.

I couldn't have put it any better than Jimw. This is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.
True architecture rather than just a building.

It's a summer cottage on an island. The "restroom" is usually in a separate small building (eco-toilet, composting toilet, …).

I don't fancy the exterior design, but the interior attracts me somehow, i can't explain it.

aj smith on 12 Aug 2010 at 10:55 am #
The part of the house facing the water feels more of a tunnel view. Lost opportunity for panoramic view from inside. It does not seem there is need for extreme privacy in this setting. Can the designer explain why an attempt to box in such a nice view. I do not share the rave reviews above.
Anya on 21 Aug 2010 at 1:47 am #
I like the idea that the house is built to adapt the given space without altering the landscape. Cool concept!
hamilton on 23 Aug 2010 at 7:09 pm #
The terrace is inspired, it actually respects the landscape. I like how it is a cabin but very un-cabin like.

Transfer Tax
Property transfers are taxed based on the fair market value of the property at the time the transfer occurs. With a few exceptions and exemptions, the lifetime transfers are combined with transfers occurring at death and are subject to graduated rates ranging up to 45%. Here are the key exceptions you should be aware of:
- The annual gift tax exclusion allows every individual to transfer, as a tax-free gift, up to $13,000 per year per donee. There is no limit on the number of donees. To qualify, the gift must be considered at "present interest." The $13,000 figure (and $26,000 for split gifts by a married couple) is indexed for inflation in future years.
- We no longer have a unified transfer tax system. Effective with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA) in 2001, the gift tax exemption is frozen at $1 million for lifetime transfers. However, at death the exemption is $3.5 million for 2009. In 2010, there is no estate tax and in 2011 the exemption equivalent goes back to $1 million. In addition, the maximum tax rate will reduce through 2009.
- The marital deduction allows transfers between spouses, during lifetime or at death, that do not incur transfer taxes as long as the spouse is a U.S. citizen. Using a marital deduction, however, does not eliminate transfer taxation, it simply defers it. Careful planning can help you avoid the shifting of assets into a higher transfer tax bracket.
- The charitable deduction lets you make transfers to qualified charities, providing a deduction from the estate and gift transfer tax system. Techniques are available that combine the tax advantages of charitable giving with the natural desire to provide for family members.
- Life insurance is subject to a special rule for property transfers. If a person gives away a life insurance policy, he or she must live three years after the transfer has been made. Otherwise the entire death benefit of the policy is included in the gross estate of the donor/insured.
Generation-skipping transfer tax
This tax is in addition to estate and gift taxes, and hits transactions that skip generations (e.g., when grandparents gift assets directly to grandchildren). Each grandparent is entitled to a $2 million exemption in 2007 from this tax, with scheduled increases in future years, however tax rules for such transactions are complex and poor planning may result in the amount of tax exceeding the value of the transferred asset.
Business valuation
A company's value is often a tax challenge between the IRS and business owners. The IRS obviously wants to set your company's value as high as possible to generate the highest tax revenue.
You can anticipate this situation by estimating now, within your succession plan, a bona fide value of your company. "Fair market value" is defined as "the amount a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller with neither being under any compulsion to conclude the transaction." You can determine your company's fair market value by doing market value research through an independent appraiser.

Napier Overcomes 'Excruciating' Pain, Leads UConn to Sweet 16 and Garden Party
BUFFALO — The time Shabazz Napier spent grimacing in pain on the bench only seemed like an eternity to UConn fans.
In actuality, UConn's star guard only missed 37 seconds of game action after a leg injury he called "excruciating."
As soon as he re-entered the game, Napier swooped toward the basket with the ball and flung up a layup high off the window to put the Huskies up by nine points.
When it was over, Napier had another brilliant game with 25 points, hitting 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, 5 rebounds and 3 assists as No. 7 UConn ousted No. 2 Villanova, 77-65, to propel the Huskies to the Sweet 16 of the East Region at Madison Square Garden. UConn will meet the North Carolina-Iowa State winner on Friday in New York.
"Napier was just awesome," said Villanova coach Jay Wright, whose team finished at 29-5, leaving Creighton as the lone Big East team in the tournament.
He was awesome despite getting saddled with two first-half fouls and then sustaining the injury in the second half.
"I was trying to get open for the ball and I think [Darrun] Hilliard was playing me aggressively and he kicked me or kneed in my shin area," Napier said. "The pain was excruciating. I couldn't really put pressure on it."
Napier, who combined to score 49 points in two games here, including 40 after the first halves, credited UConn trainer James Doran with spraying the pain-relieving gel Biofreeze on his lower leg.
Lasan Kromah added 12 points in the win and Ryan Boatright and DeAndre Daniels had 11 apiece.
Now UConn is headed back to the Garden, where they've won so many big games, including five in five days back in 2011 en route to the Big East and NCAA championships when another gutty UConn guard by the name of Kemba Walker led the way.
"It's exciting," Napier told SNY. "We haven't been in the Garden since the beginning of the season and we're not able to play in the Garden for our [American Athletic Conference] tournament because we're no longer in the Big East. But it's just exciting to be back in the Garden."
The UConn faithful thought so, too.
In the final seconds, as the Huskies made a parade of foul shots to ice the win, their fans chanted, "MSG, MSG."
UConn has three players with New York City roots — Terrence Samuel, Omar Calhoun and Kentan Facey — and Samuel played as if he wanted to get back to the Garden.
He scored seven of his 11 points in the second half, including two clutch free throws with Napier on the bench during his injury.
"He understands he's a big role member on this team and today it didn't shock me one bit," Napier said of Samuel. It was beautiful. Terrence, nothing he did today shocked us. He can take over in practice anytime."
Now Samuel gets to play a Sweet 16 game in his hometown, and maybe one more for a shot at the Final Four
"Oh, it's going to be a great feeling," said Samuel, a Brooklyn native. "I get to see my mom, my brothers, my friends from high school, my coaches. Just hopefully I perform the same way when I go out in front of my friends and family and we get the win as well so we can advance in the tournament."

I really like the character of this team. Someone at the next level is going to get s steal with Napier IMO. I had the pleasure of sitting next to an NBA scout when UConn opened the season against Maryland at the Barclays Center. He said Napier would be a training camp invite for a team due to size questions and his ability to be a true point guard. He'd have a chance to stick to a roster due to his heart. With the way he's played this season, Napier should be a first round pick without question. This guy is straight up phenomenal in the way Kemba was...we have Napier and they don't.
He's also become perhaps my favorite UConn player due to the way he stuck with the program through plenty of turmoil. The transition from Calhoun to Ollie, not being able to play in the tournament because guys from years past didn't attend class, and seeing teammates like Oriakhi and Roscoe leave the program high and dry. But he does have a championship due to the exploits of a UConn legend. Hopefully this is just the beginning of another miracle run through the tourney.
