We probably should have posted this update sooner, but Megan Cooley is no longer writing Dwell WellNW. Yes, we miss her too! At the very end of last month, she was offered a super opportunity to return to the classroom, this time teaching kindergarten at a school right here in Spokane. As much as we enjoyed her writing, ideas and enthusiasm here for the last two years, we knew this would be a great move for her.
What does this mean for faithful Dwell Well and Dwell Well readers? Well, we're definitely going to keep this blog going, since we know how popular crafting, art, home decor and general DIY/simpler living topics are, now more than ever. And Dwell Well was, is, and will be a place where all of those areas are discussed and celebrated.
We're in final discussions with a new lead writer for this blog, someone with a strong background in crafting who is familiar with local crafting goings-on. Even better, she's a super writer who will hopefully entertain and educate all of you. Look for an announcement and some new posts in the next week. She'll look forward to interacting with all of you, hearing your ideas, seeing your projects, and picking up right where Megan left off!
Until then, thanks for your patience and for continuing to read Dwell Well!

Thanks for the update Joe. Megan: You will be missed, I really enjoyed the content you provided on this blog but I'm really excited about your new gig and congratulations!
Also, I'm looking forward to the new author!
meganc on November 20 at 11:15 p.m.
A belated thank you, Joe, for your kind words and support over the last couple of years. And a thank you to the readers who followed along with my adventures in green homes and crafting. You are obviously in good hands now with Maggie. And now I get to read along, too! Happy crafting, everyone.

8 Couples' Decorating Dilemmas
What happens when designer couples clash? With two designers in a family, there's bound to be the occasional decorating dustup. Eight couples share their design battles and compromises.
By Julia Lewis
Painted Stair Rail
"I had our brown stair rail painted candy apple red. Peter was dubious… but now that it's done, he's thrilled." —Katie Ridder, Interior Designer
"When Katie proposed this, I thought she was kidding! Really, sometimes she's so far out, but I've learned to trust her vision. Now the glossy red railing winds a sinuous path as it connects the two levels of the house. I call it the 'disco' rail because it adds some sex appeal to our home." —Peter Pennoyer, Architect

Party's Over for Luxury Decorator in China
BEIJING (TheStreet) -- Shares in Chinese luxury-goods suppliers fell Tuesday as the Communist Party's campaign against lavish government spending turned against a businessman who made a fortune selling marble and chandeliers for public buildings.
Zhu Xingliang's arrest on bribery charges was announced by his company, Golden Mantis Building Decoration, which for years has been riding a wave of costly building construction projects financed by government agencies eager to flaunt their wealth. It was unclear whether Zhu would continue serving as the company's president.
Leaders in Beijing have been telling the nation's bureaucrats to curb frivolous spending or incur the party's wrath since President Xi Jinping took office in late 2012.
On the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Golden Mantis shares fell 3.3% Tuesday to close at 19.13 yuan, a competing supplier Guanfu Modern Household Wares lost 1% to end the day at 4.74 yuan and platinum jewelry maker Ming Jewelry declined 3% to close at 23.66 yuan. On the Shanghai exchange, shares in bone china and jade porcelain maker Glarun Technology declined 4.4% to end at 41.53 yuan a share.Golden Mantis outfits building interiors with crystal light fixtures, rare wood paneling and other upscale accoutrements. In addition to government offices, company customers have included Intercontinental Hotels (IHG), Marriott (MAR), Hilton (HLT), Sheraton, Westin and Hyatt hotels across China. The company's major public contracts included interior decorations for the Bird's Nest Stadium built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the Hongqiao airport-railway center in Shanghai. State media called Zhu, 54, the richest man in Jiangsu Province and said he's being investigated for allegedly bribing Nanjing's mayor. In October, the Communist Party's mouthpiece, People's Daily, reported officials had launched a bribery probe targeting the then-mayor, Ji Jianye. He then became one of more than 10 high-level officials deposed last year by the party for alleged corruption. Gold Mantis has reported strong growth every quarter since 2011, the year its profit more than doubled. Last year, the company recorded a 31% net profit increase to 1.5 billion yuan on sales of 18.3 billion yuan. At the time of publication the author had no position in the companies mentioned.

The Tumen River is a 521-kilometre (324 mi) long river that serves as part of the boundary between China, North Korea, and Russia, rising in Mount Paektu and flowing into the Sea of Japan.
The river flows in northeast Asia, on the border between China and North Korea in its upper reaches, and between North Korea and Russia in its last 17 kilometers (11 mi) before entering the Sea of Japan. The river forms much of the southern border of Jilin Province in Northeast China and the northern borders of North Korea's North Hamgyong and Ryanggang provinces. Baekdu Mountain on the Chinese-North Korean border is the source of the river,[1] as well as of the Yalu River (which forms the western portion of the border of North Korea and China).
The name of the river comes from the Mongolian word tümen, meaning "ten thousand" or a myriad. This river is badly polluted by the nearby factories of North Korea and China; however, it still remains a major tourist attraction in the area. In Tumen, Jilin, China, a riverfront promenade has restaurants where patrons can gaze across the river into North Korea.[1] The Russian name of the river is Tumannaya, literally meaning foggy.
In 1995, the People's Republic of China, Mongolia, Russia, and South Korea, signed three agreements to create the Tumen River Economic Development Area.[2]
Important cities on the river are Hoeryong and Onsong in North Korea, Tumen and Nanping in China.
Refugee crossing[edit]
The Tumen has been used for years by North Korean refugees defecting across the Chinese border. Most refugees from North Korea during the 1990s famine crossed over the Tumen River, and most recent refugees have also used it.[citation needed]
The river is considered the preferred way to cross into China because, unlike the swift, deep and broad Yalu River which runs along most of the border between the two countries, the Tumen is shallow and narrow.[1] "It is easily crossed in spots on foot or by swimming," according to a 2006 article in The New York Times.[1]
Defectors who wish to cross the Tumen often ignore its pollutants and dangerous border patrol, and spend weeks if not months or years waiting for the perfect opportunity to cross.
"Long, desolate stretches of the Chinese-North Korean border are not patrolled at all," according to a New York Times article.[1]
Refugees rarely cross the Tumen into Russia. This is because Russia's short stretch of the river is far better patrolled than China's stretch. In addition, there is no sizable ethnic Korean community in Russia to receive support from, as opposed to China, which has a larger Korean population. Finally, China is far less inclined to send refugees back to North Korea than Russia is. (see also North Koreans in Russia).[1]
The humanitarian crisis along the Tumen River was dramatized in the award-winning 2009 dramatic feature-length film, Dooman River.

THE KILLING was never one of my favorite dramas, I tried watching an episode or two and it just couldn't keep me engaged, much like that short lived HBO series Luck, both shows just weren't able to invite their audiences in.
If you recalled, THE KILLING was canceled after its 2nd season, but then it got resurrected again because AMC teamed up with Netflix to share the cost which was a big reason for the cancellation in the first place. And then AMC and Fox TV reached an agreement to develop THE KILLING Season 3 with the cast and crew to return. Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman returned to their roles as Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder respectively.
But sadly, this season 3 just couldn't get enough ratings for the show to continue further.
Deadline said AMC has decided to cancel THE KILLING.. again.
The 3rd season opened with 1.8 Million viewers but it ended with 1.5 Million viewers for the season finale, and it's just not enough in AMC's mind, the number is just not worthy enough to warrant a 4th season.
So.. Sorry to all you fans of THE KILLING out there, but the show is no more.

CLEARWATER, Fla., (October 23, 2002)---For the fourth consecutive year, Morton Plant Hospital has been named a 100 Top Hospital in the "Solucient 100 Top Hospitals: Cardiovascular Benchmarks for Success" study.
"As one of the most respected health care studies in the United States, the 100 Top Hospitals study is a testimony to the dedication and focus of our physicians and nursing staff," said Philip K. Beauchamp, president and chief executive officer of Morton Plant Hospital. "In addition to being named as a leading heart hospital in the Tampa Bay area, our staff has achieved national benchmark level outcomes for cardiovascular patients."
Developed to identify the nation's highest performing cardiovascular hospitals and to set performance standards for clinical treatment and management, the Solucient study is part of an ongoing series.
To qualify for the 100 Top Hospitals study, health care facilities had to have performed well across 10 performance measures indicating high-quality outcomes and efficient management of care. Solucient's annual study identifies hospitals that display superior performance in the clinical management of cardiovascular disease. Its aim is to provide benchmarks to improve the standard of care in cardiology, including specific procedures and conditions.
Hospitals named in the study were grouped into categories including 30 teaching hospitals with cardiovascular residency programs, 40 teaching hospitals without cardiovascular residency programs and 30 community hospitals. Morton Plant is a teaching hospital without a cardiovascular residency program and the only one in the Tampa Bay area to named a 100 Top Hospital.
The study concludes that an additional 4,400 cardiovascular patients could survive each year if all hospitals performed at the level of the 100 Top Hospitals. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is one of the country's most serious health problems, claiming the lives of 40.6 percent of the 2.3 million Americans who die each year.
"One of the reasons that the 100 Top Hospital ranking is so meaningful to Morton Plant is that we pioneered cardiovascular care in Pinellas County," said Hal Ziecheck, chief operating officer, Morton Plant Hospital. In 1975, the hospital launched its heart and vascular services and has recorded many "firsts" including:
* first hospital in the county to have an electrophysiology program for the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias
* first to perform coronary angioplasty and valvuloplasty
* first to perform minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.
Morton Plant also conducts more open heart and interventional procedures than any other hospital in Pinellas County.
Solucient is the leading source of health care business intelligence. Its mission is to provide comprehensive, results-oriented information to drive business growth, manage costs, and deliver quality care. For more information, visit the Solucient Web site at http:// www.solucient.com. The 100 Top Hospitals Web site is www.100TopHospitals.com.
In addition to cardiovascular treatment, Morton Plant Hospital has more than 50 specialty areas of service including cancer treatment, behavioral health, neurosciences, emergency care, surgery services, women's health, rehabilitation and orthopaedics. Additionally, Morton Plant Hospital has joined forces with H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute at the University of South Florida, Tampa to provide research and services for cancer patients.
This year Morton Plant was also named one of America's Top 50 Hospitals, according to AARP Modern Maturity magazine. In 2000, HCIA-Sachs (now Solucient) named Morton Plant as the only hospital in the country to achieve 100 Top Hospital status in four categories - cardiovascular, stroke, orthopaedic and overall.
Established in 1916, Morton Plant Hospital is a 687-bed facility dedicated to improving the health of all it serves through community-owned health services that set the standard for high quality, compassionate care. Morton Plant Hospital is located at 300 Pinellas Street, Clearwater, Fla., 727-462-7000.

Place-polishing trends from Paris
You eat there. You sleep there. You live there. So your home should be a stylish safe haven for you to relax and enjoy. To help make that happen Cincy Chic turned to a local expert to pass on the latest trends from Paris and beyond.
You know the phrase: Home is where the heart is. So to make your house your home, you have to put your heart in it. Whether your passion shines in home fashions or your desire comes through in decor, the dedication you put into the interior design of the space that surrounds you truly makes a difference in your life.
Just as you search, shop, try and buy for your personal wardrobe, dressing your space takes some quality time and a stylish eye. To help you translate today's interior design trends into your own place, Cincy Chic went to Sherri Kohnle, interior designer and owner of Le Petite Cottage. An interior designer for almost 17 years, Kohnle recently took her annual "inspiration" trip to Paris. And she shares her experience and expertise with you so that you can brighten your abode and lighten your life.
Cincy Chic: You just came back from Paris, so what are some design trends you saw in one of the most trend-setting cities in the world?
Kohnle: I loved the colors I was seeing. Without exception (whether in clothing or in interior design shops), it was plums, soft oranges and faded blues — almost teal but not quite. I didn't see as much black as I expected, so that was fun and unexpected. The soft oranges and plums played well against a lot of different backdrops. I was in Germany also and saw the same colors there as well as hot greens everywhere — a real fresh look for spring!
[To learn more about how to make color work for you, check out this week's beauty story.]
Cincy Chic: What other trends are big or up-and-coming in the interior design world?
Kohnle: A great industrial look. It is both classic and out-of-the-box contemporary. What better look than an industrial cocktail table on wheels with a traditional sofa? Eclectic and exciting!
Cincy Chic: Why are these particular trends hitting the design world?
Kohnle: I believe everyone is tired of feeling afraid of the darkness we have been in with the economy. It's almost like a rebirth.
Cincy Chic: What are some easy ways Cincy Chic readers can incorporate each of these trends into their already-existing design?
Kohnle: Pay attention to the colors that surround you. Don't be afraid to change things up with what you already have. Give that old sofa a new look with some fabulous pillows. Re-cover the chair that has had the same fabric for 20 years. Just bring some life and light into your home.
Cincy Chic: How can Le Petite Cottage help make this incorporation happen?
Kohnle: I have always loved color and am affected by it in my surroundings. I love to see a client's face light up when I introduce a color they had never considered. Then when the project is finished, they are so excited with even subtle changes. That's why I don't charge for my time. Sometimes all someone needs is to be given a direction, and it changes their life. No one should have to pay for that!
Cincy Chic: Do fashion and home fashion trends correlate at all? If so, how are you seeing this correlation with today and tomorrow's trends?
Kohnle: Yes, of course! Color and prints always follow home trends as well as on the runway. Fabric mills work in unison with each other. I always ask a client what color is dominant in their closet. If the answer is black, I know they are afraid of color, but when they see how we can bring the slightest hints of great color in, they love it. It changes the way they think of their clothing as well as their surroundings at home. It all goes together!
For more information about how you can put your heart and soulful color into your interior design, head to Le Petite Cottage at 20 Village Square in Glendale, Ohio or call (513) 771-0786. In addition to their extensive furniture and decor accessory options, Le Petite Cottage offers interior design services to help you update your place.

Bought my fiancees engagement ring here. Staff were really helpful, informative and supportive without trying too hard to sell.
Just what you need when you're about to part with lots of money for something you have no idea about.

We had to return our engagement ring to Anthony Grey due to a fault - the diamond wasn't set properly and wobbled. But the staff member refused to refund our money. Check rings carefully before you buy!

we walked up and down Hatton Garden looking for the right engagement ring. I figured out what I wanted and saw it in the window of Anthony Gray. I said that I'd seen another ring elsewhere and they urged me to go try that one out and ensure I was choosing what was right for me. I was back shortly and had my ring fitted and going home with me within the hour. The lady that helped us was really friendly and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The ring is perfect and the day was perfect, thank you!

I visited this store as the third or fourth trying to find the engagement ring that was in my mind. The shop staff were amazingly accommodating. Not only did they make up my ring from different parts I liked or several other rings but they gave me a fantastic price. I will definitely be using them for wedding bands.
All I can say is thank you to them and I would definitely recommend them.

Cesar Conda – Marco Rubio's chief of staff worked for George Soros
Fire Andrea Mitchell
Cesar Conda is Marco Rubio's Chief of Staff. He recently made his Tweets private (protected) so the general public can't ready them. Cesar Conda has been pushing amnesty for illegals on Twitter and elsewhere as Marco Rubio's PR agent. Conda, who is an immigration lawyer, went to work for George Soros before becoming Rubio's Chief of Staf. Cesar Conda worked on the editorial advisory board of George Soros magazine, The International Economy Magazine.
Cesar Conda had been spinning lies about the amnesty bill about how illegal wouldn't get welfare, wait more than 10 years for citizenship, etc. Those lies have been completely debunked.
Another Rubio spokesperson, Alex Conant, recently compared illegal aliens living and working in this country to the institution of slavery.
So now you understand why Marco Rubio is so gung ho for amnesty. He surrounds himself with a George Soros monkey like Cesar Conda and other idiots like Alex Conant. Sad that Rubio is turning to be such a huge disappointment. At this point, he doesn't seem much different than Charlie Crist. MORE

Rubio has proven himself to be either incompetent, or a fraud.
Marco, enjoy the sidelines.Noteworthy Comment +19
It's good we can take the measure of the man before he's the only choice besides Hillary.Noteworthy Comment +10
What a punk, give us Ted Cruz instead.Noteworthy Comment +22
It's impossible to trust anyone.+8
Doesn't surprise me a bit. They really played us with old Marco, didn't they?Noteworthy Comment +16
Obviously, this is bad news. There are so few people in politics that you can believe in. What a bunch of crap.Noteworthy Comment +15
The arrogance of politicians never seems to grow less stunning, does it?
The incestuous relationships between the Reps and Dems have never been more stark. But in order to upset the status quo we need to loudly voice our disgust and our refusal to accept the party's choice.Noteworthy Comment +11
On the other hand, this creates opportunity for our side, because it shows that conservatives who show balls will be rewarded (Ted Cruz) and those that get out of line (Rubio) will be minimized.
This also shows we hold the power.
Look for more conservatives to emboldened by Cruz.Noteworthy Comment +13
@Fine, you are right, I can rally around guys like Ted Cruz. It just pisses me off to see someone like Rubio fall on his face so bad. Especially after I bragged him up!+8
Cuban-Americans cannot and should not argue(in equal status) for illegal immigrant's(let's just say it….Mexican) amnesty.
Cubans are given automatic amnesty if they can get here.+7
Edith – the Mexican/Cuban distinction is a huge consideration.
The Cubans' motivation for emigration is to escape communism and oppression, in order to actually pursue the American opportunity.
Most (not all) Mexicans come here for the welfare benefits, which are more than what they can earn in Mexico.
The former are more inclined to be conservative republicans, the latter are more inclined to vote democrat. The overwhelming number of illegal immigrants are Mexicans.
The dumbass republican politicians, as you point out, give the two equal consideration in their justification for supporting bad immigration law.
Rubio is icing on the cake to sell that erroneous assumption. He's either a sellout or a useful idiot – either one being proof of unfitness for office.+5
"Sad that Rubio is turning to be such a huge disappointment. At this point, he doesn't seem much different than Charlie Crist".
Better sooner than later.+6
@ Stirrin…
True dat.
and it's not all Mexicans per se.
There is a kind of a Central American "caste" system.
If you ever want to piss off a Mexican, ask him what part of Honduras he comes from.
Sort of the same reaction if a Mexican asked me what part of Detroit I came from…if y'all ever heard my accent (to me I don't have one by the way)you would KNOW that the only thing connecting me to Detroit is maybe the light trim on my '76 Dodge Dart I happen to have kept from years ago.+2
Rubio is a Conservative of convenience, in other words when he needs to be to score political points with real Republicans. But then he'll go all RINO on us like with "immigration" reform. What's to reform? Folks from other countries are here legally or illegally it isn't any tougher than that. To keep the illegals out no matter their country of origin the borders have to be secure. Those already here illegally can be put into a position of self deportation. Steve King's has proposed that employers who cannot verify an employees SSN cannot deduct the wages for that individual. Simple. How about no food stamps, no anchor babies, no public assistance no free education for their kids. Take away the carrots and you won't really need the stick. But for those illegals who commit other crimes while here…prosecute them toss them in jail but don't pay for their expensive medical procedures like transplants, send them back to their country of origin for that.+1
There is no such thing as an "illegal" Human Being.0
carpe diem! Start the movement to IMPEACH OBUMMER! And it's WAY PAST TIME to do so; Think BENGHAZI & Lybia, think Syria, ESPECIALLY think the MONUMENTALLY INCOMPETENT HILLARY, think how life could be SO MUCH BETTER without the constant threat of Obummmmmmmer's presence in the White House; Think of all the DEMONS FLEEING the W.H. once Hussein is IMPEACHED & REMOVED (hopefully also removed after being impeached by the House), above all, think the TOTAL elimination, as soon as possible, of the DEMONRATIC Party's influence in any part of American life. IMPEACH OBAMA!! IMPEACH OBAMA!! And GOD BLESS ALL, MARKRITE+1

Purity is a selling point. If we think something is 'pure' we'll pay more for it.. or at least most of us. People want to pay extra for mineral-water because they are told that it is free from lime, and from dirt, and doesn't need to be 'processed'. People want it because it's pure'. Christianity is 'good', Christianity is 'pure'.What's my point? Do I believe that? No. So what's my point? My point is pure is, widely seen as a good thing. Whether it be to con people into joining their 'belief' or whether it be to charge someone out of an extra buck, pound, krown, yen etc.. etc.. But all of a sudden, this does not seem to apply when it comes to race and/or culture.This can be blamed on the over-liberalisation of the world.. especially the western world. People are taught not to be proud of their race because they can't help it. Ths is mainly from Christian groups, who claim to be 'pure', yet they want everybody to blend together so that we are all colorless.. how can that be pure?Going on about this in a purely religious sense is stupid, as it just looks like I'm bible-bashing. Mixing can be judged as bad in it's 'lowest' forms. Colour is the issue here, so I could very well talk about paints. Let's imagine I have some simple paints.. red, blue, yellow, black, white. I can look at all of these paints and find an attraction in each. The red is fiery, and passionate, the blue is deep and 'emotional', comparable to either the ocean, or the sky. The yellow is colourful and inspiring, the black is 'full', and can be used to represent all sorts of ideas, and finally the white is.. (no pun intended) pure.If I were to mix the red and white, I would get pink. Whilst pink may be 'pretty' to look at, it loses the pureness of the white, and it loses the aggressiveness of the red. You do not get a perfect colour with the best qualities of the two former. Merely, you get a 'half colour' that just detracts all the good qualities of it's 'parent'. It dilutes the red and it taints the white.This is the same for breeding with other races. Whilst some 'cross-breedings' may be attractive to the eye (euro-asians being an example), their make-up can be severely wrong. For example, I am part (from what I can tell) Hallstat Nordic.. though not completely pure. Hallstat Nordic's are generally quite tall, with small bodies and long legs. They are also lean.So let us say that a person such as myself bred with a race that typically had wide hips and very wide shoulders (Hallstat's are only moderatly broad-shouldered). This would result in someone who could not support their body, for they would have bulky parts and a moderatly lean body.. whilst they would cope, this is not good for them.I can say that my mother is much shorter than my father.. my mother is most of the other 'mixed stuff' in me. I could say we should try keep to our 'own races in races', but in England that is rather difficult due to all the mixing and such.. this is even worse in the case of the USA.So just to sum up this first, short, quick post. Wanting to be 'pure' is not a bad thing. It is not dismissing other races as inferior (one of the members to the community at the time of this being written is a Native American.. the same 'pure theory' should apply to all races.).Anybody else, feel free to post any articles on heritage and such. They don't have to be by you, but if they are somebody else's work, make sure you state their name and book/website/newsletter and such.

HP CP1525 toner cartridges and supplies. Guaranteed quality, discount-pricing, and same-day shipping!
For those looking for a color laser printer capable of producing up to 30,000 pages every month, the HP LaserJet CP1525 may be a good place to look. With a small desktop size of only 10x15.7x17.8 inches, it will certainly be easy to add to an office space. This laser machine has a hefty weight of 40 pounds, but it only uses four toners, which means upkeep won't be too difficult for most.
The HP CP1525 toner cartridges needed inside this model include cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The color printer toner will last 1,300 pages before expiring. The black toner will last 2,000 pages before needing replaced. Using the LaserJet CP1525 toner cartridges, resolutions of up to 600x600 dpi are possible, which should give users documents that are both sharp and precise.
Using the black printer toner, up to 12 pages per minute can be produced. When using the color HP CP1525 toner, only 8 pages per minute are possible. These speeds could slow down offices tremendously—they could even be slow for home users! The first-page-out times are 32 seconds and 26 seconds when using color and black-and-white toner, respectively.
Upon purchase, the unit comes with 128 MB of memory. This can be upgraded to 384 MB of memory if needed, and the machine's processor is 600 MHz. Ethernet is optional, and USB connection is offered as well.
For those who find the price of replacement HP CP1525 toner to be a little steep, considering remanufactured toners may be a good idea. The remanufactured replacements cost only a fraction of the OEM price, but they still maintain the same high quality and professional output. They will also yield the same number of pages. The quality between the two different types of LaserJet CP1525 toner is unnoticeable, making remanufactured versions a better option.
Based on our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, Ink Technologies will accept returns of compatible or remanufactured ink and toner cartridges for full credit if the returned product has a valid return authorization number and is received in our warehouse within 6 months of the original shipping date. If there is a confirmed print quality issue, only 1 set of opened products will be accepted for credit returns, and only if less than 30% of the ink or toner has been used.
Ink Technologies will replace defective compatible or remanufactured products free of charge if the products are returned within 1 year of the original ship date, and provide a return shipping tag for return of the product.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager Review: Love The One You're Withby Leigh Raines at . Comments
For an hour spent talking about Jack, the least this show could've done in "Half Over" was show him at some point. Once again, The Secret Life of the American Teenager used an event to promote itself and then short changed the audience.
The promos said "Who will say goodbye?" Spoiler alert that nobody cares about: It was Dylan.
Dylan decided that friends are the most important thing, and that she and her obnoxious little posse would follow Wendy to an all-girls school. I still think it's weird how quickly Ben went from obsessing about Dylan to obsessing about Amy. Were you sad to see Dylan leave? Did you think the previews were a cop out?
Don't get me wrong, I would be upset if Jack left the show. I just hate when a series uses one thing for a promotion and then the episode is mostly about something else. Secret Life isn't the only program to do this.
The episode was spent mostly on Amy and Ricky fighting, per usual. Ben and Amy got into the same college and Ricky is obsessing about what it means and if Amy wants to leave him. As she said last week, dreams change. I agree with this, but these two have got to go to counseling or something. How annoying is it to watch them have the same fight over and over? If it's exhausting for us to watch and it must be even more exhausting for them.
It's also not fair to John to be in that environment.
Meanwhile, Ben is determined to get Amy back, so much so that he's sharpened his detective skills and found out that Amy and Ricky aren't really married. Did I miss the moment when George admitted he knew the truth about their marriage? When they really do get married, Ben says he will be waiting at the back of the church to pull a move from The Graduate and run away with her. Do you think Amy's tempted?
Grace spent this episode at the hospital. When Adrian arrived, she had flashbacks to losing her baby, which was really sad. I did love her heartfelt conversation with Omar and the ring he drew on her finger. Even though I think everyone on this show is rushing down the aisle, I thought that moment was really sweet. I love them as a couple.
There were a few other romantic developments, too, such as Anne and her new girlfriend and Ethan and Kathy. Leo and Camille moved ahead with their adoption and took in the prostitute that Jack saved. It's interesting that they said they were inspired by Betty. It's even more interesting that due to Tom's phone call we found out that Betty knows the pimp who hurt Jack.
I wonder if any of those storylines will carry over when the show resumes in early 2013. Lastly, we were treated to the most blatant PSA ever to air on The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
There's no fairytale ending to being a teen mom. | permalink
Well MTV has that angle covered, but thank you Lauren. What did everyone else think of the midseason Secret Life finale? Do you think Jack will live? What will happen with everyone else?

Ben leave Amy and Ricky alone they love each other and they want to be together for ever . Amy shouldn't go to school in newyork if she love Ricky she would.stay with him
Be leave Amy and Ricky alone they are I. Love (:
You know you ramy fans PISS ME OFF Ricky and Amy are so cute together. Ricky and Amy are so great together. Since Amy and Ricky have been on this show name one good thing they have ever done for anyone. You complain about Ben all the time, he is an idiot, he is a jerk, he makes me sick. But he has done more for other people in the first season than Amy and Ricky, have done for anyone in the entire series of this show. Ricky, Amy, John, Adrian, Henry, Dylan, Ethan, and all her reefer pack owes Ben for what he did for them. They have never done one thing for him. Ricky, and Amy literally owe their son's life to Ben. I wonder how they will tell their son that the only reason he is alive is because that guy you Ramy fans hate so much is the only reason that anyone has anything good happening for them on this show. You people including you TV-FANATIC can't say one good thing Amy, Ricky, or anyone save for his father that they did for him. I wish Ben would have never met Amy and then she would have killed that child and hopefully Ricky would have gotten an STD I hope he would have given it to all of you RAMY girls and the bastard kids you would get pregnant with.
i think that amy & ricky should stay 2gether thier comming fr a long way.i remember wen they use to fight over everythin
Ben should be with Adrian Amy is a lying slut who used him. She and Ricky deserve each other for how they treated everyone. I hope Ricky does cheat and get a disease, and gives it to Amy, or gets the other girl pregnant. They deserve it. In all five season's of this show neither Ricky nor Amy have ever really faced consequences for how they treated people. Ben and Adrian were forced to lose a child for one mistake. Ricky got to have sex, and cheat on Adrian and Amy as much as he wanted and never got anything bad. He got to have Ben pick up on all of his crap from Amy and that is all. Amy used and hurt Ben, Ashley, and she even caused Adrian to lose her baby. I really hope something bad happens to them so these idiot RAMY FANS understand there are always consequences to your actions.
i love this movie..i think ben has got a problem and i hate adrian..buh how i wish ben and amy never broke coz they are good 2geda...they should get back..buh as da film z movin i think amy and ricky will end up 2geda....:-)
Okay, Ben makes me sick he has 2 "ex-wives" and he's only a senior in HIGH SCHOOL.. And if Ben and Amy get back together there is seriously something wrong with the writers.. Amy AND Ricky Are GREAT together, The show wouldn't be the same if they weren't together.. I hate Ben... And Amy And Ricky have a kid together why shouldn't they be together? And Oh My Gosh.. In this show I have heard the word SEX in every episode at least 100+ Times.. It's so annoying.. But I have an odd feeling that the screwed up writers are gonna break Amy and Ricky up..
Did anyone notice the ginger wasnt in the hospital, her and jack had alittle fling
I think the story is gr8. Watching ricky and amy 2gether without fighting maybe be boring but at least a season where ricky get 2 lose amy with adrian on his neck wil5 do the magic. Trust me producer give it a trial and it wil be a bomb

Slow Food at Bristol Food Connections
23 Apr 14
From May 1-11, 2014, the city of Bristol, with its diversity of communities and food cultures, will host Bristol Food Connections, an event dedicated to food traditions, education, diversity and taste. Slow Food will be in the midst, bringing the good, clean and fair message with a market and a pop-up pizzeria area.
One of the hubs of British food culture and home to proudly maintained culinary heritage and diversity, Bristol will host an expected 175,000 people and over 200 organizations and groups, including universities and BBC Radio 4 for the 11 days of the event. The event aims to highlight good food projects and celebrate artisanal products.
Slow Food's contribution features a market with locally produced quality British products that are at risk of extinction. The market showcases products listed in our Ark of Taste catalogue, which collects small-scale quality productions that belong to the cultures, history and traditions of the entire planet but whose existence is threatened. The Slow Food area will also offer traditional Italian pizza in the pop-up pizzeria, as well as workshops to raise awareness about the importance of locally sourced ingredients and the links between taste and environmentally friendly choices. In addition, the Slow Food Youth Network will be holding an EAT-IN, a potluck dinner, in collaboration with the Sustainable Food Trust and Feeding the 5000 to champion good food and food culture in public through a shared meal. Everyone is invited to join and share in the food, drinks and conviviality.

Have anyone actually seen a cheater get kicked by punkbuster yet?

seem that the punbuster AKA "placebo" havent worked against the cheaters, its all i can say

tbh,i'd rather play against impossible odds against hackers then to deal with PB
16-01-2011, 10:32 PM | Beitrag #244Kingstone77
I can't even get 10 seconds n the game and I get kicked out. I don't cheat even though I suck, so I'm a bit pissed that it's not letting me play

okay for you guys trying to play and are getting kicked, I might have a solution. I disabled my firewall and lo and behold, I did not get kicked. Not real happy with this fix but it worked. (UPDATE) I use Online Armor for firewall and saw that punkbuster was not being allowed to run. Going to try to give it access and hope for the best.
BTW, It doesn't seem PB works all that great anyway. Since this is a free game, are cheaters getting a hardware ban. It's extremely annoying to get shot thru walls and all the other cheats. Seriously, it's like having a dart contest with a blind man. But I guess some people enjoy that.
17-01-2011, 12:30 AM | Beitrag #247Jihad
You don't need to turn your firewall off, you need to set up PunkBuster properly. I looked at my PB log and every single person on it that was kicked was kicked for communication issues. You must allow PnkBstrB.exe access.

I don't know just assuming there will be at least a small few that are hacking no matter what even if people have to sell a hack for a free game lol some idiot would buy it, hopefully they can add a kick vote and report a player feature even possibly too.

I really like punkbuster, but I think it's not effective enough... could be better!
I've still seen hackers ingame.
also one of the bugs is when you hit your own man with a tank(run into them) it throws them up in the air(i tried it out) and you can land on roofs that you are not able to go...
also I think there should be a server browser, so that you just don't join a random game...

Reading these posts seems like daja-vu it's the same story with every FPS and many other games .We as players ,server admins and streaming admins have been banging our heads up against walls for many years, my clan over the years have been reponsible for taking 8 servers to number 1 in the world this was done by hard work from a deadicated team of admins the strived to make our servers a better place to play, But this didn't happen over night it took years to teach admins what to look for and how to deal with these issues. We were attacked by players using modified servers to spoof accounts and get them banned(EA did help solve this issue but way to late) . What these servers need are real Admins to look after them 24/7

If it is the same one as BFH, it might need some tweaks... im watching youtube in the back, and punkbuster kicks me out. its so annoying... but great thanks for it.

Okay, played all morning without a problem, now when i play 2-3mins i am getting kicked by PunkBuster. WtF i hate that problem, i bough Medal of Honor and wasted my money, because i got kicked again by PB and gave up. I hope there is a fix or something, because this sux so much. Why is so hard to find other hacking protection program, imo PB fails.
17-01-2011, 06:27 PM | Beitrag #258JU57FL1P
not a single part of software is "bulletproof" but it's just that it could be better.
Punkbuster has done a great job so far, and it will, but it has some glitches... that need to be sorted out.
and I don't get it, cheat in beta?? cmon guys, this is lame!!! learn to play... I've done 19K 2D ratio, but it was because I sniped and used a tank... it's almost impossible on ground...
but at least there are A LOT LESS hackes!!
and really you need to sort out game bugs, there are just too many of them...
I'd like to help to delvelop this game IF I get the premission( I have almost 90% modded nfs shift, also done bf2, MOH airborne etc...)
BTW, really we need a SERVER BROWSER!!!!!!!

Wow. "The name of the hacks?" Those are OBVIOUSLY player names.
And I would say most people "know the names of the hacks being used". Aimbot, wallhack, these are pretty generic terms.

Design Reveal: A Modern Toddler Room
People always ask me which rooms are my favorite to design. I'd have to say toddler rooms hands down. Why? Well this is such a big transition for a child to move from a crib to their big kid bed. They have such a sense of independence and confidence when you can finally tell them "this is your big girl room."
One of my recent projects was for a little girl whose parents have modern european style. They wanted their daughter to have a sophisticated toddler room that she could grow into, yet one which was still feminine and playful. The little girl's main requests were that she wanted pink, purple and ballerinas. Our design successfully combined the wishes of the daughter and parents.
The room was basically a blank slate when we started except that the parents had an upholstered bed from their guest room that they wanted to use—not bad to start with a B&B Italia bed! From there we chose the fabric for the window treatments, and then everything else just fell perfectly into place.
To see more photos of the room, visit the Project Junior Gallery.
cushion fabric?
Can you list the cushion fabric source? china seas?
Lovely room. Is that a Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chair?
Just how did you do those windows!
Tasha Cune
Very pretty room. I love the feminine details, like those ballerina prints, the window treatments, and the fabrics used all throughout the room.

What font type did you use for the "P"?

Is the P a decal or painted on??
If you are willing to share, I am curious where the bird pillow came from and the fabric for the window treatment. Thanks!

Researchers Reveal First Autism Candidate Gene That Demonstrates Sensitivity to Sex Hormones
Journal of Molecular Psychiatry, Hu et al.
Year Published:
George Washington University researchers have found that male and female sex hormones regulate expression of an important gene in neuronal cell culture through a mechanism that could explain not only higher levels of testosterone observed in some individuals with autism, but also why males have a higher incidence of autism than females.
The gene, RORA, encodes a protein that works as a "master switch" for gene expression, and is critical in the development of the cerebellum as well as in many other processes that are impaired in autism. Dr. Hu's earlier research found that RORA was decreased in the autistic brain. In this study, the research group demonstrates that aromatase, a protein that is regulated by RORA, is also reduced in autistic brains.
This is significant because aromatase converts testosterone to estrogen. Thus, a decrease in aromatase is expected to lead in part to build up of male hormones that, in turn, further decrease RORA expression, as demonstrated in this study using a neuronal cell model. On the other hand, female hormones were found to increase RORA in the neuronal cells. The researchers believe that females may be more protected against RORA deficiency not only because of the positive effect of estrogen on RORA expression, but also because estrogen receptors, which regulate some of the same genes as RORA, can help make up for the deficiency in RORA.

Small improvements to your landing page can make large improvements in your ROI. Multivariate testing is a way for you to define what improvements will make the most impact on campaign performance.
First, let's define multivariate testing. According to Wikipedia:
Multivariate testing is a process by which more than one component of a website may be tested in a live environment. It can be thought of in simple terms as numerous split tests orA/B testsperformed on one page at the same time.
While an A/B test can help you determine the better performing creative from two options, multivariate testing can test any number of creative variables at the same time. You just have to determine how much testing time is needed to get a statistically valid sample.
A great tool to help you determine how long your campaign should run is Google'sWebsite Optimizer Duration Calculator.Just put in your number of test combinations; estimated number of page views; visitors; improvement %; current conversion rate; and the calculator will generate the numbers of days needed for testing.

Whether you have decided to build your own green or contract out your golf course construction work, you need to know the principles behind building golf course features. Using improved scientific knowledge, there have been great improvements made to how we build golf courses, particularly in the last 25 years.
Let's start with the most important area of a golf hole, the green. There are several ways to build greens from the traditional push-up to the modern USGA specification green. A push-up green is exactly what the name implies; the native soil is scrapped, then mounded and shaped into a green. This worked when no alternative existed because there was less play and stress on turf and acceptable green speeds were much slower. You can still build your green this way, but in the end, you will likely find it difficult to keep good quality turf throughout the year.
The push for faster and faster green speeds, along with more stringent environmental pressures, has led to a great deal of research into better golf course construction methods, much of which are USGA sponsored. The USGA's goal was to provide a blueprint that could be followed throughout the world to create a high quality putting green. The main advantages of this type of green is a very high infiltration rate, very good drainage, resistance to compaction, and better water holding ability in the rootzone where the turf needs it. You will likely find most greens are built to specifications somewhere between the push-up and USGA extremes. The major advantage the USGA specifications offers is that if all other conditions are good (mostly air movement and light) the green will be successful. This cannot be guaranteed when the green specifications are modified. Then why are all greens not built to USGA specs? Mostly cost, sometimes availability of the right type of sand.
In the end it will be your budget that will determine how you will build your green, but remember the proverb "You get what you pay for!" The more corners you cut at this stage, the more time and money it will require to maintain your green and possibly to repair the problems later on.
When making those important decisions, you can prioritize the needs of the greens:
1. First is
good surrounding conditions (light and air movement)
2. A good quality
green type reel mower
3. Good surface drainage, which means any excess water that does not infiltrate will move off the green and not puddle4. High quality rootzone (sand/soil mix) with good infiltration rates5. Good subsurface drainage with an opening to flush the line6. A good irrigation system with even distribution7. High quality seed or sod
Now let's have a quick look at the rest of your golf course construction. Bunkers are usually a desirable option in order to have a complete green complex. There are really two general types of bunkers, the traditional style with high sand faces, and a modern easier to maintain style with steep turf faces. Issues that arise from the traditional style are mostly related to those faces washing out and contaminating the sand. On the other hand no one can deny the aesthetic beauty and fear that wall of sand can inspire in a golfer. Again the most important part of the bunker will be subsurface drainage so we can keep that sand dry.
Next are the important concepts in tee construction. Try to keep the surface as flat as possible. In areas where standing water, or winter ice in northern climates, may be a problem, a slope of 1% should be built from front to back and 0.5% from side to side. These very shallow slopes are not noticeable to the golfer, but will help move the water off the surface. Again, subsurface drainage is a good addition, particularly if you have a sandy rootzone.
Finally, the fairways should be smooth for the mowing machinery, and with good surface drainage. Also, if the soils are very heavy such as clay, before or after the golf course construction phase, subsurface slit drains are an option to keep the ground firm even after heavy rains.

The Oscars: Death to the Answering-Machine Plot Device
By Tim Long
Indulge me in a little alternate history. Let's say it's 1957, and screenwriters suddenly discover a nifty way to convey essential plot information: Davy Crockett-style coonskin caps. Don't ask me how, but it turns out that these furry caps can be used to tell the audience that the good guy is really a bad guy, or that our hero has bad luck with girls, or that Dad just won the lottery but doesn't want Uncle Hank to find out. As with all good expository devices, viewers don't even notice the caps, because they're as common in real life as they are on the screen.
But then the Davy Crockett craze fades away, and coonskin caps disappear from daily American life—everywhere, that is, except in the movies. Screenwriters refuse to stop writing caps into their films, because they're such a useful way to "lay pipe" (as it's called in the scriptwriting trade). Well into the 1970s, they continue to pop up in serious films—Vito Corleone is sporting a furry cap with a tail, and so is Darth Vader—not because anyone wears them anymore, but because filmmakers can't bear to give them up as a storytelling tool.
Wouldn't that be odd? Of course it would. But aren't we sort of in the same position with answering machines? I don't know anyone who hasn't made the switch to voicemail, but yet ghastly, 80s-style answering machines keep popping up in films that are supposed to be set in the present day. It's not hard to see why: answering machines allow for tricky plot-thickening effects that voicemail simply doesn't. In The Savages (a great script nominated for Best Original Screenplay), an answering machine allows the audience to learn that Laura Linney's dad is sick—even though Laura Linney is not in the room! And in Michael Clayton (also nominated, also great), a Bad Guy learns that Good Guy No. 1 is looking for Good Guy No. 2 simply because the Bad Guy happens to be standing there when the answering machine goes off!
Now, I'm not saying that Hollywood's reliance on outmoded message technology is the world's worst problem—global warming may be worse. And certainly, I've been known to drop an answering machine into a Simpsons script—but only when the story really needs it. But it's 2008, for God's sake. Isn't it time we, as writers, kicked the answering-machine habit once and for all? Everyone else can go first—I deserve a year's exemption for pointing out the problem in the first place.
