The Department of Biological Sciences at Murray State University offers a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in biology with an option in pre-medicine. Students who wish to become physicians can meet the necessary pre-professional required courses through this program.
Medical school requires four years of post-college study leading to the M.D. degree. Depending on the type of medical speciality the student wishes to pursue, an additional two to seven years of residency are required before the physician can be licensed to practice medicine.
Medical schools give preference to students who have completed four years with a baccalaureate degree. Most students wishing to apply to medical school major in biology with a minor in chemistry due to the pre-requisite college course requirements for admission to medical school.
Students planning on applying to medical school typically take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) at the end of their junior year. Accordingly, the pre-medicine option has a recommended curriculum sequence of courses designed to prepare students for the MCAT within the first three years of their degree program.
The MCAT is a standardized test given on the same day throughout the United States, with several test dates over the calendar year. It is produced, administered and scored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The exam is divided into four sections: Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems; Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems; Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior; Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
The biology pre-med curriculum includes course work in each of these category sections to assist students in preparing for the MCAT exam.
The criteria for acceptance into medical school are based on three general aspects of the student's college record:
At Murray State, the Pre-Health Professional Advisory Committee writes a letter of recommendation on behalf of the student applying to medical school. This recommendation is based upon the potential of the student applicant meeting the criteria above and whether the student, in the committee's view, would make a good physician. These committee evaluations of student applicants have helped many students successfully enter the medical school of their choice.

For Gnomeregan! Your thoughts on the Midsummer Fire Festival {WoW}
Jul 4th 2010 9:29PM Well, regardless of what we are and aren't supposed to do. It's irritating that my main is stuck at 131 instead of 132 pets and I have it on alts I barely play. >.< I understand they want to make the game more casual in ways, but some aspects really are annoying. I'm happy about only having to do either 25 man or 10 man raids. Not doing both definitely makes me happy. Get burnt out on raiding really quick doing it twice or having to do it on alts as well.
For Gnomeregan! Your thoughts on the Midsummer Fire Festival {WoW}
Jul 4th 2010 8:27PM Yeah, but it still seriously changed if I was able to seriously farm the pet or not. For the v-day event the group I ran with had almost 25 man raid full of alts and what not to use summons on so the pet was much easier to obtain on my main than relying completely on RNG. Which is bothersome if you're a pet collector.
For Gnomeregan! Your thoughts on the Midsummer Fire Festival {WoW}
Jul 4th 2010 8:24PM I'm not entirely sure I like the new 'bag system' that they came up with for the holiday bosses. Sure, it makes it so that you don't have to roll against people for the pet or scythe but only having 1 chance a day instead of 5 seems meh to me. I ran it every day on all of my 6 80's and I saw 3 pets and 2 scythes. Of course I didn't get a pet on my main who's my pet collector which irritated me. Really wish they had made the pet BoA or something. QQ. This pet collector is a sad panda for sure. Other than that I liked how you could run it over and over again if you needed a cloak, that part was better.
Breakfast Topic: When your alt becomes your main {WoW}
Jun 19th 2010 1:28PM I've switched mains a few times. First was in vanilla when I was interested in raiding but hunters were like a dime a dozen and my friends on alliance side needed a priest (ew, dwarf priest). The switch from horde to alliance was a bit strange at first but I ended up playing her up until Sunwell days, where when I ended up leaving my top end raiding guild the new guild I apped to would rather have my pathetically geared shaman alt as a healer than my highly geared priest. Ahhh, shaman glory days! Their guild was very light on shamans and before I knew it she went from mostly Kara/Hyjal gear to pure Sunwell gear in a relatively short period of time. I used to love my priest, but after playing shaman for almost two years now I'm pretty stuck on her. She's still my favorite character even though I have my priest, pally, druid, and warrior all at 80 now. (Although my warrior is kinda getting some love and my druid is my second geared character I'm not in love with druid healing)
I love shaman, and get frustrated when I run with shaman who only ever spam chainheal, and never interrupt or cleanse is more than a little frustrating. They have a lot of versatility and I really enjoy that.

Jan 31st 2010 12:40AM Typically my tank doesn't die.. but I also run with a tank who has lowish HP in the first place. Because honestly, tanks REALLY don't need 40k HP to do any heroic. Not even 35k. But the melee DPS, they unfortunately get creamed 9 times out of 10. Sure I could tell them to move away but I think I've demonstrated just how well PUGs tend to listen when I ask them to do something, so why bother? Just bothers me that I asked /one/ damn thing and can't even do that. Then proceeds to call me an idiot because they don't know that those mobs blow when they die. Yeah.. I dislike people who call me an idiot when really they're the moron. -.-;

Reviews of the Tibhar Legend Destroyer
bartek4443 said this on May 14, 2009:
I just got this rubber today, it is a Chinese topsheet with a Japanese sponge. i took off my Nimbuses and pasted these on to my super fast Galaxy T-2 carbon. I did not expect it to be this good; it is much spinnier than the Nimbus and it has a lot more control. I usually look at the control and am like ya bullsh** whatever, but this one is amazing. I lost a considerable amount of speed compared to my nimbus but i gained a lot more consistency. My backhand loop goes in all the time and my forehand loop has uncontrollable topspin. My playing partner made like two balls in then it either hit the net or flew past the table because he could not control it like my Nimbus. A hard but very loud sponge is what I like but some people don't like hard sponges so ya, heads up. My serves are much spinnier now like everything else. If you play with tensor rubber and switch to this you will be amazed at how consistent you will become. Very light, very tacky, very spinny, not fast, lot of control, many gears, high throw angle.
Anonymous said this on November 14, 2009:
This is a good rubber. The top sheet is very nice quality and tacky, and the sponge is firm. Out of the packet this rubber looks good like any top quality rubber. It was a bit firm for me so i put about 3 layers of speed glue onto the sponge and let it soften up a bit using the glass plate method. I didn't leave it overnight though, just for a few hours and then applied another layer of glue and let it stand overnight. The next day i re-attached the rubber to my blade it played perfectly ever since. The sponge was just the way i like it. Note that i only applied speed glue to soften the sponge, so i can't comment on how the rubber plays glued up as such. Overall it's a good rubber, good speed and spin, both before and after i glued it, the only difference was that the sponge was a bit softer after i glued it.
foz said this on January 9, 2010:
medium hard sponge with ultra sticky surface which grabs the ball like you wouldnt believe, making returning serves , heavy chopping and blocking a breeze, but also has enough pace to create good attacking strategies! A real demon grippy rubber !
rickdude said this on March 1, 2010:
So far I've tended to use soft tensors like Andro Plasma 38, Donic Vario Big Slam, and Xiom Yanus DF. My coach was skeptical when I turned up one day with the Legend Destroyer, after the reviews here had convinced me to give it a try.
We were both very pleasantly surprised: great control, strong spin, and good speed, a keeper for my forehand. Although objectively it's a pretty hard rubber/sponge combination, it feels as if it's catching hold of the ball like a soft tensor. Two caveats: 1. It's really heavy. Just changing my forehand to this seemed to make my racket twice as heavy. 2. It's not available in Japan, so I had to import it. Not sure whether that's just because it's not popular in Japan, or if Tibhar don't make it any more?
Darren Rapacchi said this on July 21, 2010:
I have this on a Y-2 Carbon Yinhe blade.2.2mm red FH & 1.8mm black BH. The blade is hard with no flex and thus the rubbers are not suited to this blade. The rubbers lost there tacky after around 6 hours of play/training wut the speed and spin are still there. Good from any distance, but I will be switching blades for this rubber to see what the difference would be. Great for loop drives and fast topspin driving, thumbs up from me nice rubber. The only Tibhar rubber I have used so far.
Alex said this on December 23, 2011:
This rubber was awesome for the price, a really great deal. I make my own bats and i chose to dress my first oak model in these rubbers. The hard surface of the blade combined with the sponge on this rubber made for a VERY fast paddle! The spin and control are good, and the weight is just right. Well build rubbers that make a nice loud *snap* to scare your opponents.

From Nantucket nautical to luxury seaside, the coastal beach style offers a chic, comfortable look. The style is highly adaptable and offers many regional flavors, from the luxurious look of the Mid-Atlantic regions to Florida tropical and laid-back Californian.
Sand and sky pastel color tones are accented with splashes of colorful greens and oranges. Furnishings and lighting may have beach or lighthouse themes, and feature natural elements like bamboo and jute area rugs.
Notes LAMPS PLUS design consultant Lynda Gould, "The use of furnishings, or accessories and lighting that have beach or lighthouse themes help create just the right décor mood in a space.
The natural elements found in these products like bamboo, wood and jute ad texture and character to complete the design."
These gleaming accent side tables caught our eye. They come in a sleek polished aluminum finish and have a traditional curved leg base. These would be great for adding a dash of style to traditional rooms, or for capturing a more contemporary Hollywood luxe look. Kensington large accent table. Kensington small accent table.

Here's to the whole LAMPS PLUS family and I hope to be able to do this again soon. Raku Red table lamp (no longer available.
LAMPS PLUS note: Thanks to Babette for being such a sport. Keep an eye out for our next guest blogger appearance.
Doug Beach, manager of our Fresno store, offered a number of internesting floor lamp tips in an interview that ran last week in the Home and Garden section of the Star-Telegram.
From the article..."Chances are that if you own an older home, your living room has never had a ceiling-light fixture. What to do? Floor lamps are one alternative. Not only do they offer lighting in a room that might not have any, they also bring a decorative touch."
We do have a motto, no not the Mob motto- for those of you who thought you were so smart...If there's a more complicated way to manufacture things, we just haven't found it yet. And we live by it daily.
To make something we hope will be passed down isn't easy, we need to ensure that the hand of the artisan is seen in the final piece during the spinning of the aluminum, and that the eye of the finisher blends the colors so they sing, just to name a few.
And for those of you who are into "green" (a word that bugs me- as it has become the same as saying MERCHANDISING!) we've be eco-friendly before it was trendy, just because it was the way you should do it. Leave the gun, take the canoli.

Mehnaz Afridi
Born in Pakistan and a practicing Muslim, Mehnaz Afridi has studied Judaism and Jewish history, interviewed Holocaust survivors, and visited Dachau to pay respect and pray. Now she works to inspire her students to take interest in other faiths and cultures as well.
Dr. Michael A. Grodin
Dr. Michael Grodin has written about Nazi doctors and the ways patients were systematically dehumanized and tortured. He believes we need to beware of the subtle ways that medical ethics can be subverted in the name of research and public health.
Stephen Norwood
In his book, The Third Reich in the Ivory Tower, Stephen Norwood looks at the ways many American universities actively or passively helped to legitimize Nazi Germany. In their failure to take a stand against antisemitism, Norwood sees parallels in academia today.
Renee Hobbs
Renee Hobbs is founder of the Media Education Lab at Temple University. Hobbs works to promote media literacy and critical thinking about information sources-which can be a powerful tool against hate speech and Holocaust denial.
Robert Corrigan
Early in Robert Corrigan's tenure as president of San Francisco State University, students posted a mural on campus that included antisemitic symbols. Corrigan took a strong stand against the hateful imagery, and had the mural sandblasted off. As a result of that turmoil—and the persistence of antisemitism on university campuses—Corrigan decided that San Francisco State should have a concrete plan for addressing such incidents when they occur.
Rabbi Gila Ruskin
At the age of 50, Rabbi Gila Ruskin left her pulpit position to teach Jewish studies at an urban-Baltimore Catholic school with a historically African American student body. The experience led Ruskin to appreciate the many ways that Jews and African Americans can come together through a shared history of oppression and, she says, a commitment to prophetic ideals.
Xu Xin
Professor Xu Xin has spent 40 years at Nanjing University—as an undergrad, a grad student, and currently as director of the Glazer Institute of Jewish Studies. He teaches new generations of Chinese students about Jewish history, culture, and the lessons of the Holocaust.

Finding The Right Slim DVD Burner
A slim DVD burner is the perfect accessory for any laptop, even one that may already have a burner installed. There are many available models and choosing the right choice can be difficult.
For my money, I will use the Sony slim DVD burner model DRX-550U. This 8x slim DVD burner is good for just about any application you can consider, whether it is burning movies or doing backups of your important work. A USB DVD writer can make back ups and burns a breeze because it can quickly plug in and be set up when needed, then just as quickly be detached and kept away.
Why the Sony DRX-550U is My Favorite Slim DVD Burner
Sony has always been known for the great quality and durability of the products they make and this slim DVD burner is no exception. This, unlike various Sony products, is very affordable and offers you all the features that you need to get started burning immediately. The 8x speed means you can copy CDs and DVDs very quickly and its super slim ultra portable frame means you can take it wherever you need to go.
The good thing about having a USB slim DVD burner is that wherever you are you can either get data of your system to transfer to another, or simply plug it into another person's system to copy anything you need off of them. These portable burners are really the most useful tool for a traveling business that person can have. They can back your work up, take work with you, or transfer work from a number of systems and networks.
The great thing is how cheap the media and the actual burners have become. For around $150, you'll have a system set up which can enable you to get access to all the data you need and support it as well. You can also burn off movies for those long continental flights so that you can never be bored. Just get your favorite movie, rip it off and away you go. These easy devices are really revolutionizing the way business gets done. After seeing all the advantages, you really have no reason not to get a slim DVD burner, and the Sony is the one I would select.
History for the Hijab – Exploring Muslim Traditional Outfit
Understanding the history of muslim hijab.
According to Islamic scholarship it has a bigger description of modesty, privacy and morality. It means curtain in Arabic and a meta-physical description of 'al-hijab' is a veil which separates man or the world from God. Hijabs have been a prominent part of Islamic tradition since the 1970s. Opinions as to how the apparel have to be worn vary from person to person within the Muslim faith.
During the Qur'an the hijab is not referred to as an article of islamic apparel for girl or men, rather as a spiritual curtain bringing it is wearer with privacy. The Qur'an instructs male Muslims to talk to the wives of Muhammed just behind a hijab. The issue of modesty within the Qur'an applies to men and women's gazes, gaits, apparel and genitalia.
Woman are expected to put on hijabs (cloaks) towards public to prevent them from harm. Muslim lady are required to put on the jilbab in front of any man whom they could theoretically marry. Thus it does not should be worn into front of fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children. It is too not compulsory to put on the clothing in to front of another Muslim female.
Islamic modesty is interpreted uniquely by each practicing individual depending on their specific beliefs. Certain woman put on full shape dress departing just their eyes visible; while others just feel it necessary to cover their hair and cleavage.
The rules of concealment are generally relaxed for elderly lady. It's commonly viewed that they are past the prospect of marriage and thereby might lay aside their outer clothing. However, they still must not make a wanton display of their magnificence. I hope this information useful. Have a great day!
Jilbabs and Their Religious Significance
The significance of hijabs in Islam is crucial in to understand for the Muslims as well as non Muslims. This Arabic origin word july be literally translated in the word veil or cover. As Arabic is the language, into which all revelations about the religion Islam were imparted to the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H), it is therefore used quite frequently throughout the Quran in lieu of modest and decent attire that have to be worn by all Muslims. Arabic is not the initial language of a lot of Muslims, though, all seek to learn the language to be able to read and understand the Holy Quran. However ,, it has been translated into other languages including English and Urdu to make it easier for people to understand the important messages relayed towards it.
According to the various interpretations of the holy Quran, it's commonly understood that the term hijabs refer to the head coverings or scarves worn by Muslim women. With the passage of time though, there have emerged a lot of religious groups, who although follow the basic teachings of Islam, however , have convinced variation amongst them based on the way they interpret the teachings while in the Holy Quran. Due to this sectarianism, the topic of jilbabs has received numerous variant analyses.
The most fundamentalist group states that jilbabs mean covering the woman's entire body from head to toe towards loose fitting black color clothing which conceal even the hands, feet and face besides of the eye lids. Opposed to that, the most liberal for the Muslims consider it only necessary to put on attire which are decent and do not expose the shape unnecessarily. The most usual and probably the most moderate Muslims however , do not agree with either of these versions. According to them, it is very important to cover the head having a scarf, referred to as the hijabs, however , there is no restriction about wearing only the black loose fitted robes commonly referred to as abayas by them as long as the clothing worn are not promiscuous towards any way.
The debate goes on and on amid all the different opinionated Muslims of the world, though all are set towards following what they believe is the real description of jilbab. What all fail to understand is the religious significance of jilbabs, which is to preach respectability and maintain integrity. The question have to not be whether covering the hands and feet is correct or wearing pants is correct.
The question below discussion have to be what we learn from wearing apparel that do not expose the body for all to see. It not just teaches self respect, but also to respect others and their values and beliefs.
Modest Clothes
It's Time to Escort a Stand for Modesty
One for the very best tragedies of modern day is immodesty. Society has moved from accepting modest dress, grooming and speech to accepting immodest attire, immodest grooming and immodest speech.
All you need to do in to order to prove this thesis is simply stroll down a street towards any major city. Not only will you see extreme clothes and grooming designs, however , you will most likely hear vulgarity close to you.
It's time to carry a stand for modesty.
There's nothing more uplifting than modesty. There is nothing more wholesome than modesty. There is nothing more classy than modesty. There is nothing more chic than modesty. There's nothing more important than modesty.
A modestly dressed lady or man is not completely unheard of these days. There are those few who decide to costume and act modestly. These lady and men are classy, chic and elegant. These people obviously shop for modest attire.

Jubbas – Conventional Outfit For Modern Times
A Jubba is a long garment for men that drapes down to the ankle length that is sometimes worn with a trouser underneath. It's a trendy apparel item which is commonly worn during the Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries which have their own variety of names for the clothing. While in the Levant region (Syria, Palestine and Jordan) it's commonly referred to as dishdasha, in to UAE and Oman it's commonly referred to as Kandura.
Jubbas comes in different colors and may come in most different design depending during the region. During the Gulf Region it is mainly worn into white colour and has collar neck or round neck with the exception of Oman where cream colour also as white colour Jubbas are the norm however you do find other colours worn commonly. The Moroccan Jubbas sometimes referred to as Galabeya or Jellabiya come having a huge hood and often will incorporate striped designs or plain colours and sometimes with buttons with intricate however light embroidery while in the border.
Jubbas designs have commonly been very classical towards nature resembling the Middle Eastern and Muslim culture and tradition. There has been a small amount of effort made to actually re-style the clothe to add more variety to it. Historically the Jubbas were the apparel of Arab Bedouins who led a very simple lifestyle however when the Arab Muslim started expanding to other territories after the advent of Islam enriched the style of Jubbas from a simple Bedouin attire to one that was befitting the courts of caliphs and wazirs (ministers). Since that development there has been a small amount of introduction of new models on the Jubba clothe.
Just recently has there been a fresh surge of new design and designs added to this classical clothe and diversity of range to appeal to the youth with strong inclination to their religious identity. This has driven demand for the Jubbas which has never had significantly of a competing market on the west due to the fact for the products mainly being imported from the Middle East reflecting the styles for the region.
Now the competition is started to kick off between Islamic merchants trying to compete towards their own exclusive range of designer Jubbas. These Jubbas have introduced patterns with zips and buttons on the sides, belt necks, chest pockets and dark-colored piping to funk up the classic Arabian clothing to gaze more cool and slick.

I've become the master of cooking for one. Much better than my former single girl days when I would often be known for eating ice cream out of a carton a few spoonfuls at a time, cooking mac and cheese, quesadillas, nachos or cereal. I pretty much lived off the worst (most common collegiate..) foods until well into my days in DC. Thankfully by that point it wasn't that I was so much of broke (well kind of) but more lazy. That's always been my issue with cooking. If it weren't for the food court in the mall near my old pre-husband apartment, I'm pretty sure I would have starved out of sheer laziness to cook. That wasn't always the case…but often.
The other night I cooked a meal and had left over pasta and put some aside that wasn't mixed in with my mac and cheese (scheduled post coming up about that on Friday!) that I improvised with what I had (what I really wanted? Was Annie's mac and cheese…with broccoli. but I didn't have any and was too lazy to drive over to the store).
So last night after I got home from work and running errands, I cooked up my last meal as a pseudo single girl.
1 1/2 c. whole wheat pasta (I used bowties)
1/2 c. organic vodka sauce
1 apple chicken sausage link
dash of parm
Was the perfect proportion. Filling. Rather healthy for the most part and one of my all time favorite meals. When I was younger, my mom would cook spaghetti with sausage and my sister and I would dig the leftover sausage out of the pan eating just that instead of heating up a full plate. The next person to eat leftovers would be all like WTF M8! I'm pretty sure that my love of sweet italian sausage (TWSS! TWSS!!!! There I beat you all to it) is what's keeping me from being a vegetarian. Womp womp.
Anyhow, so this meal is a far healthier cry from my former single girl days. But now that I've finally ah-hem, mastered the art of cooking for one? Hubs is comin' home! Thankfully I'll take my skillz I learned (ah-hem portion control?! How else did I lose 18+ lbs? Meal planning, and thensome) and take them to the bank and by bank I mean my kitchen. Hubs and I are excited about being more active together and participating in more races as a couple rather than him being on the sidelines.
Since I'm in Texas for the two days, and have no workouts to report of but Hubs and I are running an impromptu 5k on Saturday which should be fun. Not sure I'll hit my PR but I'm still going to go for sub 30 minutes! In the meantime…kittehs are going to hold down the fort.

Hi all
We recently bought a set of Calphalon Contemporary stainless steel (the brushed metal ones) pots & pans. We are babying the pans and being gentle, but find they are scratching easily inside the pan. Metal, nylon, and wooden utensils are all listed by Calphalon as okay to use. We were cooking tomatoe sauce and put a good 1 inch scratch on the bottom of one of the pans -- just by using a nylon spoon (there may have been a small seam on the edge of the spoon, but sharp enough to scratch it?). We used a metal spoon on the other pan but didn't see any scratching, as we were careful not to touch the pan surfaces (but what good is that). We use a sponge to clean... a Dobie pad and/or Bar Keeper's friend if needed. I know pans are meant to cook it, but we spent a pretty penny on them and are surprised how easily they are showing scratches. I know metal gets softer when it is heated, but wow. Anyone else report similar? Anyway to remove said scratches? thank you kindly |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by cupofkindness (My Page) on Thu, Jan 11, 07 at 7:23
Motifone: I would call Calphalon today and ask for their opinion and a replacement. No metal pan should scratch because of a nylon utensil. I use melamine in my Calphalon tri-ply (melamine is hard plastic) and have had no problems. If Calphalon doesn't take care of you, take the pan to the store (with your receipt) and ask for a replacement out of a new set. I would not use metal in these pans for rigorous stirring, but you know what? Ultimately, you should use what you want and not worry about what the interior looks like. My only worry would be that the pan is harder to clean with deep scratches. Finally, have you tried cleaning the pan with Bar Keepers Friend? |
hi there thanks for the reply. I will call them and ask. What's funny is I specifically looked at the inside bottom of the pan before I started cooking -- so I would know if anything scratched. We cooked, I washed the pan, and there was the mark. I cannot feel the scratch with the fingernail, which I guess means it is more of a surface mark. It goes counter to the direction of the brushed metal so it stands out more. You are right, ultimately it is a pan and doesn't matter. It's just tough to pay $400 for a set and have it start doing that ;) We clean them with a sponge, Dobie pad and Bar Keeper's friend. Even the Dobie pad and Barkeeper's leaves the slightest of polish lines here and there. |

I guess the Calphalon Contemporary just requires more care when using them in order to maintain that great look. I understand about the $400, that's the retail of my Calphalon tri-ply (of course I used a coupon), it's a boat load of money, especially when you see so many store brands that look practically same but sell for half the price or less! Let us know what Calphalon has to say about your finish. Thanks! |

Ahmed's research played a key role in his success:
- It helped him fine-tune his product so it had all the features the market wanted.
- It helped create early support from medical professionals.
- It helped him target a market with a high level of perceived need.
- It helped him create an effective introduction plan for his product.
All totaled, Ahmed's research played the vital role of convincing him his invention had real sales potential and that the product was worth the time and money he'd have to invest to make it a success.
I've found time and time again that inventors move slowly on their product because they're not sure they truly have a marketable idea. If they'd follow Ahmed's lead and do early research, they'd know when they should drop their idea and when they should move full speed ahead on getting it to market.
Did Ahmed predict every possible glitch in his product and introduction plan? Of course not. But he did find and correct enough glitches to enable him to successfully launch his product.
It's not uncommon for product or marketing mistakes to cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 to remedy. So if you don't have deep pockets, follow Ahmed's example, and be sure you have a product the market wants before spending your hard-earned money.

A window onto 'short, crazy' Vietnam
It's March 1969. A sinewy North Vietnamese soldier picks up a U.S. Army rucksack from under trees where snipers had braced their rifles. Inside, he finds the usual olive drab assortment: canteens, c-rations, lubricating oil. And a sketchpad. The soldier tilts his head with curiosity and fascination as he flips through drawings of American G.I.s relaxing, of mountains receding, of helicopters swooping.
Is the scene fact or fiction? It's a question often on my mind.
So are these. What role does storytelling play in keeping humans at war and helping them heal afterward? How many Vietnam veterans have kept their experiences bottled up because of that war's unpopularity?
The sketchpad definitely existed, left behind after a 1969 ambush in the Plei Trap Valley. It belonged to Grady Myers, who was badly wounded there. The firefight is at the heart of his illustrated memoir, Boocoo Dinky Dow: My short, crazy Vietnam War. I was instigator and scribe for the book, which I published last Father's Day for Grady's children, one of whom is also my son.
Grady and I were married during the 1980s, divorced and remained friends until he died last year at age 61.
In 1968, Grady was a big, aimless Boise teenager with a poor grade point average and a yen for adventure. At a time when many men were scrambling to avoid the draft, he volunteered. The Army, desperate for troops, overlooked his extreme nearsightedness and sent him to Fort Lewis, Washington. Within a matter of months, Grady was transformed into "Hoss," an M-60 machine gunner.
Grady's Vietnam was a place where an old man carrying a bundle of sticks posed a moral dilemma and a young man had to weigh the burden of his virginity against the dubious pleasures of riverbank prostitutes. A place where you counted on your comrades despite the real possibility their antics or bravado would get you killed. Later, in the hospital, he shared the exuberance of men whose attention was turning from amputations and fear to cars and beer … and, of course, sex.
It was another primal urge, though — to tell stories — that started our book project in the late 1970s.
Grady had just launched his art career, working in the newsroom of the Idaho Statesman. I was a young features editor. We went separately to an office party where people were supposed to dress like they did in the '60s. My costume was a giant 45 rpm record. Grady wore fatigues and told entertaining stories about serving in Vietnam. I was fascinated. Most guys I grew up with had college deferments or high draft lottery numbers, and managed to avoid Vietnam. If they'd gone, they rarely talked about it.
I asked Grady if I could write down his stories. He said yes.
I stocked the fridge with Old Milwaukee, bought a cassette recorder and got him talking. He also poured his memories into drawings. We produced a book manuscript, which was declined by publishers. Some of them believed that Americans didn't want to be reminded of a divisive war they lost at great expense. One literary agent told me that James Webb's novel Fields of Fire was all that needed to be said about the war.
Thirty years later, health problems confined Grady to bed. He needed something to occupy his mind. We dusted off the manuscript. This time we could include more of his art work, including drawings that are part of the National Veterans Art Museum collection.
The need for speed was one reason I decided to self-publish. Several hundred Vietnam vets are dying every day, and I especially wanted to get Grady's story into the hands of people who could personally relate to it.
Publication closed a chapter of my life. It also opened something — a floodgate holding back an entire generation of stories. Everyone wants to tell me what they were doing during the Vietnam era.
That preternaturally cheerful professor I know? Turns out he was a combat vet who, after zipping so many buddies into body bags, came home determined to savor each day. Another former soldier told me Vietnam was the best thing that could have happened to him, because it kept him out of the family business, which was the Mafia. Another recalled getting back to the States only to have the Army "feed us to a steak dinner and tell us to change into civilian clothes before we caught a flight home."

Hello guys, I just recieved a portion of my order(bare root: strawberries,grapes,jostaberry,gooseberry) from Burgess and I was shocked with the quality, it was very very good! I have to tell, I did do my research on reviews, customer service,etc an all the majority of reviews are really bad, I mean horrible! I was reluctant to even purchase from them, I was very concerned.. That's how bad the reviews are.. But the prices were very good($3 grapes,rasp/blackberry,etc).. They have a warranty/guarantee that if you are not satisfied, you can get a refund,etc,etc.. So I said, hell I'll save some money and give them a shot.. Few days after ordering I was really concerned that i made a mistake, I was ready to cancel my order.. Everyone always says you get what you pay for.. But i just recieved my strawberries, josta, gooseberry, and grapes, and I was impressed! The strawberries had far more roots than any place I ever purchased from, especially local stores I recently purchased from... The strawberry roots were 8-10 inches if not longer, very thick, lush roots... Same as the grapes, josta and gooseberry.. Cheap price, excellent plants.. Although they did not notify me when they shipped my order, and the kid I talked to on the phone didt know what he's talking about.. Their nursery men sure do! Excellent plants! I could not be happier! For those of you reluctant from purchasing from them because of the bad reviews,etc.. I would give them a shot! I couldn't find plants any cheaper! And the quality is up to par if not better than the expensive mail order nurseries... You can't go wrong - even if you aren't satisfied, they have a warrantee/guarantee... But i don't think you will be sorry you ordered from them... I made this review to help people save their wallet as well as getting scammed... Reading the reviews,i thought burgess was a total scam, but the plants are beautiful.. You can't judge a Joe |
Follow-Up Postings:
I did buy from one of their affiliates,Direct Gardening before I read any reviews. I was shocked that anything stayed alive and grew.It was all bare root and put into one big plastic bag without any kind of material protecting the roots.There were about ten items and only two didn't make it. Like one reviewer wrote,he looks at it like a gamble and likes to see what happens. I hope they grow and produce well,Raw Nature. Brady |

You are correct, they weren't even in peat or sawdust, literally bare roots! But the roots were moist an everything is budding.. Im counting on everything, not only surviving, but thriving! If it doesn't, give them a quick call and ship them the original shipping label for a refund or replacement.. Don't seem like to much of a gamble to me.. But, after reading allthose reviews it did.. PS - did you buy any fruit trees by any chance? Was thinking about it, but I was wary because they didn't state rootstock... Joe |
Only a Serviceberry,which was DOA and a couple of White Mulberries.which I'll probably use as grafting root stock.The rest were shrubs. Brady |

Brady: Seems like you aren't to thrilled with burgess,and their affiliates.. Do you have a better place that's just Is cheap? Where do you order from? Thanks, |
I haven't seen anything cheaper online. Sometimes local can be a way to go,during different times of the year when plants are marked down. But if I want a certain one,I'll check different sources. Some places I've bought plants from are Burnt Ridge,Raintree, Edible Landscaping,Gurneys and Jung. Brady |

Lots of people use the two synonously .. In this case it is inexpensive, and good quality.. Nothing, I received was cheap quality.. Joe |
Joe, I, too, use "cheap" and "inexpensive" interchangeably (knowing cheap carries a negative connotation). However, some nurseries get bad reviews (more than good) for a reason. You may be fortunate this time that you got quality plants. I ordered a peony from Burgess 4-5 years ago. I got a small rhizome with 2 buds on it. It took 3 years for it to grow big enough to flower (I usually get peonies that flower in the 2nd year). Right plant, right price but not the right quality for me. When I order fruit trees, I try to avoid a "hit or miss" kind of nursery. It's too unreliable. It could set me back a year (re-ordering) or more years before I'd find out it's a wrong variety. Everyone wants to buy good trees at the most reasonable price. I think many people here come to realize that "you get what you pay for" often rings true. Good luck |
I would never, ever, ever, buy from Burgess again, they are crooks and liars. Last spring I ordered about 40 plants from them. All but just a few of the plants were dead within a few weeks. I wrote them and included a copy of my order, a copy of the payment made and asked that the plants be replaced. They wrote back saying that I needed a label off the package, what? I still had the package but the label was all washed off and could not be read. I told them that, they said, must have the label. I said but I showed you the invoice, I showed the receipt, they said too bad. Never buy from Burgess, they are dishonest people. There are many nurseries out there that are good people and will treat you fairly. Burgess is bad news. RM |

Very interesting.. I made sure I kept my original shipping label.. How did yours ruin, was it sitting in the rain or? There is a catch with that shipping label,I agree that is bullish* they don't do anything without that label... Especially if it wasn't your fault is ruined! I'm diffenently not sold on burgess, but the did me no harm.. I called up to check my order and kid said they are a small famil owned company and you cannot track your order.. I thought they were owned by plantron? Was he just lieing or what's the deal? Those of you angry about the shipping label: it's sad to say, but you have to know to read between the lines and Thoroughly read their warranty/guarantee... You guys say there's plenty of other great nurseries to order from, who?? That's what this forum is about.. Help people out! If burgess is so crooked, and their affiliates are the same.. That's all the catalogs I got in! Give us solutions so we don't have to order from scandals! What nurseries are good?? Where do your order from?? Thanks |
I agree with the skepticism about Burgess. One of my neighbors ordered 6 fruit trees from them a few years ago. Three of them were DOA. When they didn't leaf out, he called Burgess to get them replaced but they refused because his wife had thrown away the packing slip. |

Were the fruit trees fairly big, nice branched, besides dead? I don't understand how anyone orders trees without knowing what rootstock they are on.. Why don't nurseys state specific rootstocks, money game or? Thanks, |
"Were the fruit trees fairly big, nice branched, besides dead?" No, they were small. They also ordered some blackberries from Burgess and none of them leafed out either. Nurseries like Burgess and Gurneys don't state specific rootstocks because they mostly cater to people who wouldn't understand the difference between rootstocks, or even the significance of them. I suspect many of the people that order trees from Burgess/Gurneys think the trees came from seed (not grafted). I hate to associate Gurney's with Burgess. Gurneys has much less complaints about dead plants and considerable better customer service, but they both cater to the same clientele. |
I always liked to think that burgess gets their nursery plants out of dumpster of another nursery. I'm not sure what this topic is trying to prove, since 99 out of 100 people that order from them have been screwed by them. Congratulations, go buy a lottery ticket while you are at it. |
"You guys say there's plenty of other great nurseries to order from, who??" Well what do you want? For trees I like Bay Laurel Nursery, my biggest complaint is the trees are too big and branched out bigger than I really want. I would prefer smaller trees. Healthy as hell! Raintree in the Northwest is decent too. Trees more of a size I can shape. Great selection too! No nursery is perfect. Berries: Many good nursery's. Nourse Farms is mentioned many times on this site. I have no experience with them |

lkz5ia, the following comment you made above is a bit harsh: "I'm not sure what this topic is trying to prove, since 99 out of 100 people that order from them have been screwed by them. Congratulations, go buy a lottery ticket while you are at it." Raw just wanted more information about the company given his recent success (at a fraction of the cost of the alternatives)... I too will never order from Burgess or it's affiliates, and only certain things from companies like Gurneys. But this post makes me wonder how location, and thus speed of mail delivery, factors into this. I don't stand a chance of getting live material here in NM from a crappy company in Michigan or wherever, but that could be different if I were in Ohio. Maybe the point of this post is the following: |

Its not trying to prove anything.. I'm just writing my experience with the company. Its either they got better or was purely I coincidence, which most l of you confirmed it was freak luck.. Perhaps, i should buy a lotto,im that lucky.. But how are they still in business if they are such scandals? They do have a guarantee after all.. why are they still open? Olpea: thanks for the info.. I also wonder if they don't label rootstock to get around patents and get cheapest rootstock possible? Drew, Thanks for the nurseries... Faba native: I was actually just trying to help people out and save a few bucks... But it seems like I am doing more harm than good.. The point of this posts is merely to state my experience with burgess, that's all... Isnt burgess a division of plastron?? Same as four seasons,etc?? I have a raintree catalog, which is the best catalog I got in.. I am looking for anything edible - fruit trees, fruit shrubs,etc,etc... What are some other catalogs/nurseries I should sign up for?? Where do you guys buy from? Appreciate it, |
I've had positive experiences with Burnt Ridge Nursery, Edible Landscaping, Simmons Berry Farm, Oikos Tree Crops, Stark Bros, Peaceful Valley Farm Supply, and Indiana Berry. I've included a link below to a thread from the Tennessee Gardening forum -- one of the posters provided a lengthy list of highly rated nurseries. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Reputable Fruit Tree Vendors

Sazaam! Thanks! |
Somereputable online nurseries that ive used. Starkbros (good for trees and Berries) My peach and Cherry tree are thriving. Henry fields, Gurneys, Raintreenursery.com. all ive had good luck with. |
"I was actually just trying to help people out and save a few bucks... But it seems like I am doing more harm than good.. The point of this posts is merely to state my experience with burgess, that's all... " Hey you did nothing wrong, information is a good thing. Even the negative comments gives us more info. I certainly may consider them as a possible source, even with the bad ratings. Sometimes it's hard to find that certain plant, I know I had a hell of a time finding a few. Now I know sometimes they get it right. Yeah it took me forever to find a Kiwi Gold raspberry, a variegated Purple Beech. and a wyeberry blackberry hybrid. I have all three now yeah! |

Remember, It was only a portion of the plants i ordered i was impressed with. I still have more than half my order coming very soon, I'll keep you guys posted on how that turns out! My order: Hope this helps, |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 5 OH (My Page) on Wed, Apr 10, 13 at 18:04
PS - if you have any of the variaties i ordered, can you let me know how they are.. Thanks, |
Joe, The link Shazaam posted contains an extensive list of nurseries. A few nurseries that are not on that list but get good reviews on this forum members are: Fruit Tree Farm, One Green World, Schlabach's, Tierra Madre and Vauhn Nursery. Schlach's is the only one that you cannot find on line. It's run by Amish people. You can call (866 600 5203) to order a catalog and send in your oder by mail. The tree quality are good (on a smaller size). Reasonable price - $15-16 per tree. I am most impressed with their honesty. One time I overpaid, not knowing. They sent back the difference. The other time one tree had some damaged roots. I called. They sent another tree, no question asked. I did not have to send any proof. Whenever I find a variety I want on their catalog, I order from them. |
A reputable company will do what they can to make the customer happy. I have a small business and I do everything I can to be fair with my customers even when it costs me money. It's imperative that the customer is happy. When my plants from Burgess died, I had a copy of the invoice, I had a copy of payment.....it was entirely clear when and what I had ordered from them and instread of trying to be fair to the customer, they chose to use a loophole to cheat me. Not only did they lose me as a customer, but now they will lose additional customers from posts like this one. They are dishonest and I would not recommend them to anyone. Buy your plants anywhere but from Burgess. RM |

Very interesting... Thanks for your posts.. I appreciate you guys trying to help eachother out before one gets caught in the loop holes! If someone posted a thread like I did, I most likely would not purchase from burgess.. It's one thing to read reviews and thinking the people don't know what they are talking about, because frankly, like others mentioned only inexperienced growers purchase from nurseries like these.. It's another, to get experienced growers state their opinions and experiences, just like this forum.. I'm glad I got a good order, and I may not test my luck again.. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.. These threads are what saves people frustration and money, that's half the reason I made this! Thanks for posting, |

So i opened the door to grab the mail and nearly stepped on my plants sitting underneath it. I quickly, but carefully opened the package to give the roots a nice soak.. Overall: I am very pleased, I do not feel like a got ripped off whatsoever.. I might even order from them again, is crazy as that sounds.. That did me good, I have no bad things to say.. All my plants arrived safely, and th majority ofthem had nice, lush roots! Although, it was frustrating trying to take the plants out of the tangled mess just thrown in the bag! my first order was only a few plants, but it became apparent how bad there packaging is when you order any decent amount of plants.. Another issue is they use thin pieces of paper to label varieties, you can barely read the thing, if it gets wet/ripped before you labeled it properly, you are not going to know what it what! They need to do a better job organizing the shipment, as well as labeling individual plants.. Oh, and one of my niagra grapes barely had any roots, literally two strands! But, I really shouldn't complain, the rest of the plants have so much roots, I can properly separate the roots and get 5 plants of them! I'll be sure I get a replacement for that one niagara grape, the rest is going in the ground as soon as it dries up! Man it always seems like the weathers against you! Can't wait to get planting! PS: I'll keep you guys posted how everything grows. Joe |
Joe, That's good to hear about your order. It might be a good idea to wait for all things to start growing,if the grape is going to get replaced.Because I think they only let a person use the shipping label refund one time per order.It's good for one year though,so there's time to see if other plants live or not. Brady |

I didn't even think about it only being good for one time only! I thought it was bad enough you need to keep the shipping label! It sure doesn't state one time use only.. I'll give them a call tomorrow! Thanks, |
Consider yourself lucky Joe. They are dishonest people waiting for another victim. RM |

Wow. To think it all began as a nifty-little idea back in 1999.
That idea - to apply printing & technology innovation to make it easier for the world to express themselves on T-shirts - has today blossomed into a "platform" (as MBA-types like to call it) big enough to fuel a multi-billion dollar industry. We call it CafePress Inc.
In the very beginning, this idea spawned a cottage industry of hundreds of thousands of individuals who created CafePress shops - each selling their unique products online. Early on, it also led to the creation of our flagship brand, CafePress.com - and the CafePress Marketplace (where sellers & buyers could more-easily connect). The innovation-friendly platform also freed us to broaden our product line from T-shirts and mugs to over 600 product SKUs and counting.
From there, the growth snow-balled as we leveraged the platform to new brands of our own, from Canvas on Demand and Great Big Canvas to ImageKind. But not stopping there, the versatility allows outside brands to tap into the platform - from retailers like Urban Outfitters and SIGG to media companies like Warner Brothers & CBS.
The end result (although it's far from ending, and continues to grow) is staggering. Today there are over 2 million CafePress shops that together have created some 300 million unique products (with over 135,000 new designs added each week). Plus there's our ever-growing reseller market. Together, over 6 million products are being printed and shipped each year. And over 11 million people visit our sites each month to find product that express their personality. Not bad for one little idea dreamed-up a decade ago.

We have a formal home and we're looking for pieces for our living room. The rest of our home is Henkel Harris. Our friend, an interior designer has suggested pieces from Kittinger or Kindel. We don't have any experience with these manufacturers. Can anyone out there tell me about their experiences with any of the manufacturers I've listed above? How to do they compare to Henkel Harris? Same, better or lesser quality? Specifically, we're looking for newport style block and shell pieces (Sarah Slocum style and a secretary) as well as pembroke tables, a pie crust table, cocktail table, wingback chairs and an 84" sofa. We want pieces of excellent quality. Buy once and keep for a lifetime. Any suggestions for a very formal living room? Best sofas? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have several pieces of Kindel furniture, and all are of exceptional quality and design. Both our dining room buffet and china cabinet are Kindel, with a beautiful cherry finish that has certainly withstood the test of time--20+ years and counting. These pieces still look new. Also, we have a Kindel sofa in the living room. It was reupholstered once, not because of wear but--well, styles change! While the sofa doesn't get a lot of use (it's in our formal living room), it is still in excellent shape, with cushions still plump and comfortable. If they're still making furniture the same way, I would highly, highly recommend Kindel. We also have some Baker tables. They are beautiful but have not held up as well (also in our formal living room, not a lot of wear on them). I'd put them in a tier or two below Kindel. I don't have any Henkel Harris or Kittinger, so I can't comment on those. Certainly they have great reputations, but have no personal experience with them. Whatever you decide, it sounds like your furniture will be gorgeous! Please post! |

We will as soon as we find order and receive the furniture. It might take 6-9 months. |
- Posted by hounds_x_two (My Page) on Mon, Jul 1, 13 at 7:59
I have my mother's Kittinger sideboard. It is lovely, beautifully constructed, and has certainly held up in the "test of time" category. |
The brands you posted are all high-end manufacturers. I would add Karges to the list. Stickley opened a plant in Vietnam a few years ago. It's not clear if they sell any of the Vietnam-made furniture in the US but something you may want to check out. |

Thanks, John WC. Will do. |

Culinary Category: Cumin Crusted Conch with Mojito Essence
Culinary Category: Cumin Crusted Conch with Mojito Essence
Back to the recipes, please.
I'm ready to vote for my favorite in Culinary!
1 lb fresh conch
1 oz cumin seed (roasted
and powdered)
2 tsp olive oil
Sea salt for plating
Cumin seed for plating
Red pepper jus for plating
Baby greens and/or sprouts
Apple Slaw
1 granny smith apple
5 or 6 fresh mint leaves
Mojito Essence
1 oz BACARDI® LIMÓN™
Flavoured Rum
Juice of 2 limes
Zest of 1 lime
1/4 Serrano chile pepper,
deseeded and minced
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 ripe avocado
2 tsp olive oil
5 or 6 fresh mint leaves
Cumin Crusted Conch with Mojito Essence
Editor's note: Though conch is not widely available stateside, a good fish market might carry it frozen -- or be able to order it for you. Otherwise, try this recipe with your favorite firm white fish. You can use dried cumin rather than roast and powder your own from seed. If you'd like to serve the conch on red pepper jus as this contest entrant does, blend one red pepper in a blender and strain the juice; reduce pepper in a pan reduce till syrupy, add olive oil to taste and set aside until ready to plate your dish.
1. Clean the conch in cold water. Wipe and pat dry.
2. Rub the cumin on the conch and sear it in a hot pan wth some olive oil. Set aside to cool.
3. Slice conch very thin using a sharp knife; sprinkle with sea salt and lime juice.
4. For the apple slaw, julienne the granny smith apple. Add the lime juice, mint chiffonade, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
5. For the mojito essence, Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add mint chiffonade at end and set aside.
6. Prepare ingredients for plating: Mix some sea salt and cumin seed powder to prepare a cumin salt. Also, slice one avocado into eight very thin wedges.
7. Arrange apple slaw on the bottom of each plate (serves 8); then place slices of conch over it.
8. Surround conch with sliced avocado to prevent essence from spreading across the plate once it is added in Step 10.
9. Place cumin salt on the left side of the plate, and pepper jus along the bottom (if using).
10. Sprinkle conch with mojito essence, sea salt and baby greens and/or sprouts. Serve immediately.
