If you delete a file or a folder, then it will get stored in recycle bin automatically. Most of the users think that if a file or a folder is deleted from the recycle bin by using shift + delete keys combination then the file is deleted forever. But, the fact is that the file is still present on the hard disk where as the index of the file system will be marked as free space. All the deleted files can be easily recovered with the help of file recovery software. The files which got deleted or lost because of formatting or re-formatting are not erased permanently. Usually, formatting is done so as to reuse the disk space. But, it won't delete the files permanently. Therefore, you can also recover the deleted files due to formatting by using file recovery software.
In some situations, you want to delete the confidential or sensitive data from the system so that it won't be accessed by anyone. Or some business related data which contain the customer's details should be removed from the system permanently. Although, you have deleted all those files from the computer with the help of the methods such as formatting or re-formatting, etc. But still all the deleted files are not yet safe. All the files which got deleted by any of the above process can be entirely retrieved until and unless they are overwritten with some other contents. To delete forever the deleted files, you can make use of file eraser program like Drive Wipe Software.
This software helps to delete forever all files from the computer. It will unlink all the recycle files as well as overwrite all the files with garbage values so that, it can't be restored by using any file recovery software. The nine different sanitization standards are used by this tool for overwriting purpose. It can also delete the data from the hard drive forever. Even, you can delete the internet history with the help of this tool.
The file eraser software overwrites the contents of your hard disk repeatedly with some data at least three times so that all those overwritten files cannot be recovered. There are various disk sanitization methods followed by this software are Random Overwrite, US Department of Defense, Peter Gutmann Secure Deletion, Fast Zero Overwrite, Gutmann method etc.
This software works with Microsoft Windows such as Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows server 2003 etc. on both 32 bit and 64 bit system. It removes the private or confidential files from the hard drive by offering maximum drive wipe methods. This software also supports the file erasing from FAT 32, FAT 16, NTFS, and NTFS5 formatted partitions. You can download this utility for the recovery results.

A Bradley County deputy felt threatened by an aggressive dog after he arrived on the scene of a call about the animal. The dog was shot by the deputy, but it is expected to fully recover.
According to Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, deputy Darren Miller responded to the call on Timberhills Drive last week.
A neighbor in the community had notified Bradley County 911 dispatchers of an aggressive dog roaming in his yard. Miller responded to the residence where the dog lived and knocked on the door. Miller didn't get an answer and as he attempted to step off the porch at the home, the animal reportedly began to approach him, "growling and snapping at his legs," according to Gault.
The dog is believed to be a pit bull.
"Fearing for his safety, the deputy backed up toward the porch. Due to the dog's continued aggressive behavior, and [the fact] the only exit from the porch was blocked by the dog, the deputy fired his service weapon, striking the dog in the nose," Gault noted.
SPCA officials were contacted and the dog was taken for treatment.
"BCSO regrets this occurred but unfortunately, it sometimes becomes necessary. BCSO policy allows deputies to use a level of force necessary to keep themselves and the public safe," Gault explained.
n Sound equipment and other items were reportedly taken during a break-in at a local church.
According to a report filed with the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, officials with Michigan Avenue Baptist Church made the discovery during the weekend.
Michael Broome told deputy Brandon Warren that he visited the church Friday and found a Yamaha mixing board, speakers with stands, a bass guitar, a DVD/VCR machine and a dehumidifier were all missing.
Investigators with the Bradley County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division responded to the scene to collect evidence and other information.
The loss was estimated at $1,325.

Mail-In Ballot Postage Cost 59 Cents NOT 42 Cents
It will cost Larimer County voters 59 cents postage to mail-in their mail ballots for the November Election, per Scott Doyle, Larimer County Clerk & Recorder. "It has come to my attention this morning that the calculations determining the postage for returning a mail-in ballot by mail to our office were incorrect," said Doyle. "In fact, the postage for returning a mail-in ballot is 59 cents, rather than the 42 cents stated in our earlier press release."
"I want to correct this information for our voters as quickly as possible," Doyle added. "While I am sorry that the postage amount was inaccurately announced initially; this correction has come early enough in the process to get the word out to voters in advance of their mailing back their ballots. This early catch also allows us to work with the post office prior to their receiving any returned ballots, to ensure all ballots are delivered to our office properly."
Mail-in ballots can also be placed directly into a ballot box, with no postage costs, at any one of several drop-off locations. For a listing of drop-off locations, please visit www.larimer.org/elections/mailin_dropoff.pdf.
"Unfortunately, sometimes these things just happen," said Doyle, "I regret any inconvenience this may have caused Larimer County voters."
Anyone who still wants to vote by mail-in ballot but has not yet made a request to do so should visit /www.larimer.org/elections/absentee_info.htm or contact the Larimer County Elections office at 498-7820. The deadline to apply for a mail-in absentee ballot and have it mailed to you is Tuesday, October 28th.
Absentee ballots must be received by the Elections Department no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 4th.
Voters who wish to check on the status of the absentee ballot they've mailed into our office can do so very expediently by accessing the Absentee Ballot Status page of the county website at www.larimer.org/elections/absentee_inquiry.cfm.
This site allows each resident to check the status of his/her absentee ballot simply by entering a last name and date of birth. "We don't want voters to have to wonder about the status of their absentee ballots," Doyle said. The web page provides information about when the ballot was sent out to you, and when the completed ballot was received back in the Clerk's office.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ming!
Facts about Ming
- Breed: Bombay
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ming's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
we rescued Ming along with his 3 brothers from a kill shelter. He was a scrawny little critter with no indication that he will become a slinky adorable sweetheart in just few weeks. Ming (and his brothers) are very affectionate, smart, playful yet gentle and adorable. They love to snuggle together or with their humans.
We want to place Ming and Ting together OR in a home with another cat so they have a feline playmate.
Ming LOOKS like a Bombay (or a monkey LOL) but he is most likely an impostor or a mix. We do not know his previous owner or his feline parents.
Other Pets at North Brooklyn Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ming, a Brooklyn Bombay kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bombay for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Bombay kitten from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bombay breeders who help with Bombay rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

. . . a northwest pale ale? I've been searching the forum and the internet for a general idea. Does this style actually exist (not a BJCP style of course) or is it just a marketing scheme by some of those northwest breweries (Rogue, Deschutes)? If it does exist, what qualifies a pale ale as "northwest"?
I don't think there are specific style guidelines, but it's a hop forward pale ale, usually showcasing the pine/citrus character of the hops from that region.
Pretty much. I have always thought of it as a light IPA.
Being from the northwest I feel to be a northwest pale you have to hop exclusively with hops grown in the northwest. Willamette and cascade seem to dominate this "style" with a few others occasionally mixed in for complexity. There is still a lot of xenophobia around these parts and I am sure it is more marketing than anything. Still tasty beers though.
While I dont know the exact answer I had some experience lately with Northwest ale yeast. My last brew was a pale ale. I was experimenting so I used Wyeast American Ale1056 in one 3 gallon fermentor and Northwest ale 1332 in the other, and then combined them in the keg. The grain bill was simple with light malt ( full extract recipe), 20 and 60 carmel malts, and I used cascade and falconers hops- a very basic pale ale recipe. I tasted each batch at the end of fermentation just prior to kegging. The 1056 was very basic- it produces a very clean crisp flavor which allowed the hops to come through and had a very familiar generic pale ale taste. The 1332 on the other hand was very different. It was much more complex, and had a malty, fruitier taste (almost a slighty wine-like flavor). It amazed me how different the two fermentors tasted considering they were from the same recipe and fermented under Exact same conditions. When i first kegged the beer, i let it sit for a week and tried it- the flavors hadnt quite mingled yet but it was ok. I left on vacation, and when i came back the beer was amazing, my best batch yet. The brew got muvh better with age, and 6 weeks after brewing the beer (3 wks of fermenting and 3 weeks in the keg, it was truly incredible.I believe the IBUs were a little high at 36, so next time i will tone them down to around 30-32, but other than that it was great. It reminded me of Left hand sawtooth ale, which is my favorite beer. So if you feel like brewing with this ale, give it a shot, it worked out great for me! :-)
And, deschutes uses british yeast in their NWPA.
There are 2 brews i always think of as a typical cali ale. one is American amber ale. The other is steam beer which is a lager fermented at cooler ale temps http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style10.php#1bhttp://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style07.php#1b
Good people drink good beer - Hunter S. Thompson Duct tape. The handyman's secret weapon - Red GreenNaughty Kitty Brewing EST 1993 Primary 1 - Saison Primary 2 - Centennial IPA Primary 3 - Secondary 1 - Secondary 2 - Bottled - Nogginfogger DIPA, Feral Red Ale
There is a brewery in Duluth, MN that makes what they call a north shore style Pale Ale. Nt quite sure what that means since none of the hops, yeast or malt is grown or made here.

These zombified stuffed animals are straight from your nightmares. DeviantART user IckyDog has created these zombie virus-infected play toys to decorate horror fans' abodes. With just the right amount of gore matched with just the right amount of cuteness, these toys are alluring enough to draw you in so they can eat your brain.
The zombified stuffed animals look like they could be found in Toy Story villain Sid's play room. Luckily, any surgery he performed on these toys wouldn't do much emotional damage to the toys since they already have lost their "humanity" anyway.
An awesomely gory art project for kids of all ages, the zombified stuffed animals are the cutest undead things out there.

They looked pretty good but since I was at the midpoint of my weekly Sunday ten mile walk I settled for a large,fresh,really tasty donut and a can of pop.
Grand total= 75cents. Was I in a time warp?nope Walmart. If I had gone the northern route I could have had free coffee at Publix but they charge 65cents for their donuts. That's a rip-off,they ought to be ashamed of their money grubbing selves.Why I can remember when donuts were 60cents a dozen and they were bigger than the ones you get now.etc.etc.etc. ad infinitum,ad nauseam.Okay I am one of them.lol Getting back to the roses I have found the low end generics do every bit as well as their far more costly relatives.Sorta like junkyard dogs.Bred to be tough. Now I am mad, that stuck up,arrogant midget inside my spell check pretended he doesn't recognize Walmart.Everyone knows them. |

No, no - wait!! I'm still giggling over "that stuck up,arrogant midget inside my spell check." :-) AC |
I've bought only one rose from Walmart--Elle--and she is beautiful and healthy. In fact, that's why I bought her. I was walking by all the pathetic victims of Walmarts concrete parking lot/greenhouse, and there was one rose standing up healthy and blooming. I figured it she could thrive in that environment, she had to be a winner in my garden where she would actually get water and food! It's up to the buyer to pick the good ones instead of hoping that a dead-looking bundle of twigs will somehow undergo a transfiguration in the home garden. Wish you hadn't mentioned doughnuts. I got a sweet tooth and just remembered there may be one left in the kitchen. 'Cuse me while I go check. Kate |

To parade or not to parade, Citizen Warrior by Tiffany Madison for Communities @WashingtonTimes.com
DALLAS, TX, February 11, 2012 – As New York City and Foxboro, Massachusetts hoped to celebrate a Super Bowl win with a ticker-tape parade for their football champions, Paul Rieckhoff, accomplished Army veteran and Founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) issued a press release titled "If the Giants or Pats get a parade, shouldn't Iraq vets?" His plea for a National Day of Action calls on the White House and mayors nationwide to coordinate a massive day of parades and community "resource villages" for Iraq War veterans. The idea of a parade for veterans of Iraq has ignited a controversy for both veteran and civilian communities, resurrecting complicated feelings.
Naturally, many politicians are in full support; parades are easy commitments. "This is not a victory celebration," said Vincent Ignizio of The New York City Council. "This is a welcome home of a massive amount of troops that are coming home that served us with honor and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice." Mitt Romney, Republican Presidential candidate agrees, "Whether that's a ticker tape parade, or whether it's a special ceremony somewhere else, welcoming our troops home is something they deserve." Though the White House has sided with the Department of Defense's comments that national parades were inappropriate while wars continue abroad, should momentum continue it would be wise to switch positions for political advantage. Nationwide fanfare celebrating the end of the Iraq War would surely remind voters which candidate brought the troops home in an election year.

From the Fakahatchee, it's a 10-minute drive to Everglades City, roughly 30 miles southeast of Naples. The town is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the nearby Ten Thousand Islands, a dense, mangrove-filled archipelago along the coast. The islands have always been manna to the locals, who segued from fishing and stone-crabbing in the 1800's to rum-running and drug smuggling in the 20th century. Indeed, the DEA arrested nearly the entire adult male population back in 1983. These days, the mostly reformed city is the unofficial capital of the Glades and is recasting itself as the next Key West, with winks to its tumultuous past. The island retreat of Totch Brown—the late pioneer Gladesman, media darling, and pot smuggler—is now a featured attraction on airboat tours, as is the island of Edgar "Bloody" Watson, a sugarcane farmer turned alleged murderer from the 1800's who was immortalized in Peter Matthiessen's Killing Mister Watson. In 1910, a mob gunned Watson down at Ted Smallwood's store, on nearby Chokoloskee Island; the spot is now the Ole Indian Trading Post & Museum.
Then again, the working dock of City Seafood is still authentic and funky as hell, filled with patrons chucking the shells of just-eaten stone crabs into the water. And at the Camellia Street Grill, the down-home dishes are made with homegrown herbs and Willie Nelson wannabes saw away at "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Crabbers" during dinner. Down the road, Ivey House hotel has a modern, eco-lodge vibe with guided kayaking tours and membership to the Society for Ethical Ecotourism, but the 1864 Rod & Gun Club nearby is still the hotel that time and tourism forgot. It's an Everglades remake of The Shining with hanging alligator skins, stuffed bobcats, and narcoleptic front desk clerks.
On or off the Tamiami Trail, the Everglades have remained wild at heart. Florida was the last state to get fences: cattle were controlled with dogs and cracking whips, the genesis of the term Florida Cracker. In Indiantown, a half-hour drive from Lake Okeechobee, the 80-year-old Iris Wall, a fifth-generation Cracker, runs the curious Seminole Inn and a nearby ranch with cattle, horses, and a restaurant featuring tasty frog's legs and fried green tomatoes. The hotel was built, along with most of Indiantown, by Solomon Davies Warfield: part of the lobby is dedicated to his iconic niece, Wallis Warfield, who hosted the opening night gala in 1926, a decade or so before becoming the Duchess of Windsor.
And yet, this is also a land of old-line Gladesmen, attuned, like snail kites, to the natural rhythms of swamps. For feasts, they chop down sabal palm trees and cut out the heart for "swamp cabbage," fresh hearts of palm that are boiled or sautéed. Hunting is often done at night, a tribal rite that can always go wrong, especially when dealing with wild boars and vengeful alligators.
Every moment of primal joy the Glades brought me as a kid comes flooding back at the Swamp Buggy Races outside Naples, a ceremonial ritual of mud and supercharged engines. Swamp buggies are cheap, jury-rigged affairs of old truck parts and giant tractor tires that have been used for hunting for years. On the racing circuit, they morph into bellowing dinosaurs charging down the straightaway. At the end of the day, the anointed Swamp Buggy Queen, dressed in a gown and tiara, jumps into the cold, muddy water. It's a splendidly absurd finale to the rich terrain that is the Glades. "This is swamp culture," one contented fan says. "This is the real America."

Taliban kill 20 Afghans in suicide attack, bombings in the south
Over the past two days, the Taliban have killed 20 Afghans, including policemen and political leaders, during suicide and roadside bomb attacks in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand.
The attacks started yesterday in Helmand, where the Taliban killed 13 Afghans in two separate attacks in the districts of Kajaki and Nad Ali. In Kajaki, a suicide bomber killed nine people, including two policemen and seven civilians, in an attack at a bazaar.
The Taliban claimed credit for the Kajaki suicide attack, which they referred to as a martyr attack, in a statement released on their website, Voice of Jihad. The Taliban said the suicide bomber was named Hameedullah and came from Helmand, and they claimed that 12 ISAF troops and five Afghan "puppets," a term reserved for Afghan security forces, were killed. But no US and NATO troops were reported to have been killed or wounded in the attack. The statement also accused NATO forces of targeting Afghan civilians and warned them to stay away from NATO troops
"It should be reminded that Islamic Emirate has repeatedly warned civilians to stay away form foreign troops as the barbaric enemy troops deliberately shoot at civilians after an operation," the Taliban statement said.
In an IED attack in Nad Ali, the Taliban killed the district intelligence chief and two intelligence officers, as well as a member of the Helmand provincial council. The Taliban claimed credit for the attack.
The Taliban also claimed credit for today's suicide attack that took place outside of Kandahar Air Field, NATO's largest military base in the south. Afghan officials said that seven people, including a child and three civilians, were killed in the attack.
The Taliban claimed the suicide bomber, Ahmad from Kandahar, "rammed his explosives-laden van into the Land Cruiser convoy of foreign officials in the front gate of Kandahar airbase" and killed "12 invaders." Again, no US and NATO troops were reported to have been killed or wounded in the attack.
The Taliban continue to target local Afghan officials and security forces as part of their assassination campaign. Last week, a key district governor in Kandahar who was instrumental in getting local Taliban fighters to reconcile with the government was murdered.
Dozens of senior Afghan officials were killed last year. The most high-profile assassination occurred in Kabul, when a suicide bomber detonated explosives hidden in his turban and killed Burhanuddin Rabbani on Sept. 20, 2011. Rabbani was the leader of the Afghan High Peace Council, which has been established to negotiate with the Taliban, and also was the head of the Jamiat-e-Islami political party.

Don't Forget About Your Single Friends During the Holidays
As many moms anxiously prepare for the upcoming High Holidays, busy with long grocery shopping lists, menu planning, and getting their children prepared, singles are going through their own anxiety.
For many, Rosh Hashanah marks yet another year single, another year not yet a mom or dad. In 2011, fully one third of Jewish adults living in Manhattan, where I live, were single, never married. And among many of them, the conversations leading up to the holiday season, especially when weekday holidays make it tough to travel to see family, are sometimes filled with shoulder shrugs and sighs: "What are you doing for Rosh Hashanah?" "I don't know, you?" "I don't know…"

My rough drawing isn't great but hopefully it will give you the idea of the proportions. I'm hoping to get away without a glass shower door. I would love to just do a frameless piece above the pony wall to left of vanity. We do have a 5" curb. Space is limited and of course I would save a boatload on the door itself. But mostly I just like the way it looks without a door. I suppose I could try it without and then get the door later if it's a big problem with splashing. Thoughts? |

Your going to get quite a bit of water splashing outside the shower with that set up as the opening is opposite the shower head and without it being set up as a wet bath with the entire floor waterproofed and with a drain will make quite a mess. |
- Posted by melissastar (My Page) on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 15:12
I, admittedly, don't have first hand experience with this. But browsing Houzz, I've seen several setups that are quite similar....glass walls, that extend only about 2.5 feet of a 5' shower or tub/shower set up. In each case, the owner or designer has responded to questions about splashing saying, no there isn't much. I do know that my shower wall in both my current house and previous house was about 3 feet long and there was almost no splashing on to the bathroom floor. A couple of things that are likely to help, if you want to go this route, though. Think about putting the handheld on the same wall as the shower head...as far from the opening as possible. And consider a rainfall type shower head that comes out from the wall and then points directly down, rather than one that angles out. HTH |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 15:19
We have the exact setup as you are envisioning. BUT our shower is 47" wide rather than 3 feet, we have a rain head rather than a regular shower head and our handshower is on the short wall. We get very little overspray. I think this could work only if you use a rainhead (so the water will come straight down) and if you move the handshower to the top right of your picture. If you can widen your shower by a few inches, even better. |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 15:20
Melissastar--we must have read each other's minds! |
My current shower is about the same size, a couple of inches shorter and less wide. My shower head is in the same position as yours and isn't spectacularly powerful. I have frameless bypass doors. I am a faithful squeegee-er and I can tell you that there's plenty of water on both doors and I'm extremely grateful that it's all contained within the shower space. Honestly, I don't want any wet outside the shower. I understand that it might look good without glass, but this is one instance of function beating form. |
Thanks millworkman..the entire bathroom is tiled but only a drain in the shower itself, so even with the curb I'm sure there will be some splashing. melissa, I'm happy to hear you didn't have too much of an issue with just a shower wall. Thanks for the tips, however everything is already finished except for the door. No turning back now. What I have to weigh....could the splashing outside the shower be worse than the water my 6'3" DH already leaves upon exiting the shower?? hmm... Any success stories in a similar setup? |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 15:31
Also, we put our rain head in the ceiling rather than on an arm. It is exactly centered in the shower on the 47" side and about two feet from the back wall where your shower head is currently located. It is all about the rain head. That's why the water doesn't come out. We did the same thing in our hall bath where we have the Kohler 48" long Greek tub that we also use as a shower. We have no curtain or door on it but we do have a rain head. The step in front of the shower doesn't get wet. |
thanks nyc and linelle...looks like our situation will be needing the door.. |
I don't know where you live Nan, but I'm in the SF Bay Area and our winters are fairly mild, but it's still chilly in the mornings and during the winter. The enclosed shower stays cozy. When I open the door to grab my towel I immediately feel the draft from outside the enclosure. A quick squeegee (which stays inside the shower enclosure) is so much easier than if I had to wipe off the toilet seat and floor from splashing. No contest. |
Strongly suggest that that 6'3 DH dry off while IN the shower. Regarding the placement of the shower heads, I'd have just one big one (6") on a slider on the short wall. They are very adjustable to put the water on your head or bod. Overhead rain showers go straight down until they hit broad shoulders, when they bounce sideways. I'm also in the SF Bay Area and had planned a doorless shower...so I took a shower (in my old bathroom) with the shower door open...COLD in the morning. That hand held (where you have it placed) might make a mess If you aren't supremely careful while rinsing. -Babka |

It is interesting to read the posts with opposite conclusions. It is always hard to evaluate since no one has the exact same layout (or behavior!). We are planning something similar, but I haven't gotten the drawing up yet, so I'll be following your responses carefully! |
I'm small and don't get wild in the shower (bummer), yet water would be everywhere without an enclosure of some sort. Who wants to have to constrain their movements in the shower lest water escape? Who wants to be wet when it's 40 degrees outside? Yeah, the heater's on in the bathroom, but the perception of warm forced air on a wet bod is chilly just the same. Unless your DH dries off in the shower before stepping out, you'll have wet on the floor whether you have a glass door or not. |
linelle and babka...my point exactly. If I couldn't get him to dry off thoroughly in the 25 years we've been married, it sure ain't gonna happen now because I want a doorless shower! Water either way...may as well lose the door ;) Anyone think that trying it with only the partition glass at first is a good idea? Could you easily add a door later? |
Nan, won't harp on wet DH anymore. :) But using that as a reason to accept more water getting out begs the question. Would you rather clean up 1 cup of water or 3? Okay, that's an exaggeration but you get the point. Probably the water from DH lands mostly on the floor next to the shower? How about the water that gets splashed out the side? The steam that ends up condensing on vertical surfaces? Drafts. Goose bumps just thinking about it. |
- Posted by lori_inthenw (My Page) on Tue, Oct 15, 13 at 13:21
Not clear on the proportions. Is the shower 3 x 6 and you are splitting the open and closed parts 50/50? We're thinking of blocking for a door, but starting with just the panel. Still figuring out how narrow an opening would work, though. I don't think you'd need the whole 36"-- could you extend the pony wall a little or is it in place already? |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Tue, Oct 15, 13 at 13:24
Lori--I have attempted to copy my post with pictures of my shower. Hopefully it works. The pictures aren't great but you can get a pretty good view of how we worked it. Same setup as Nan. The shower is 47" wide by 5 feet long but there is a structrual column that juts into the length. The shower is sort of shaped like the state of Utah, if you can imagine that. We keep a small bathmat on the floor in front of the shower. It doesn't get wet. I am 5'3" and my husband is 6'4" if that matters. As mentioned above, the rainhead is centered in the middle. We even have body sprays on the right. They angle in at about 26 degrees. We always use them together with the rain head, which gives a really nice shower. We only use the handshower for cleaning or when I don't want to get my hair wet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: shower without a door
- Posted by lori_inthenw (My Page) on Tue, Oct 15, 13 at 13:34
Thanks, that does help. How wide is your non-door "opening" compared to the width of the glass panel? |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Tue, Oct 15, 13 at 13:59
Lori, I am not at home now to measure but I think that the pony wall comes out about 30" from the back wall. The third picture shows it best. The counter comes about 25 inches or so from the back wall and the pony wall extends a few inches beyond that. Subtract that from the 60" width of the room (yup--a five foot wide bathroom!) and that makes the opening 30" which is plenty of room. We also have that column that takes up space. If we didn't, I would think that an opening of 24" would be fine. |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Tue, Oct 15, 13 at 14:01
Also, for what it's worth, all of our niches are built in the wall next to the cabinet tower and the in the pony wall, so the shampoo etc. is hidden from view. |
Ok, I took a quick photo to give a better visual of the space. As you can see, everything is in place already so it is what it is. linelle..I live in the northeast and I can hear you regarding chilly weather. No matter how much heat you have blowing, it's still nippy getting out of the shower! Leaning towards getting the door... |
Nan, I'm shivering just thinking about it. Now, if you guys think you're taking too long showers, this might speed things up. Brrrrrrrrr. :) |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 17:22
Honestly, I might give it a try and see if it works out without a door, if you are able to turn the handshower inward when you use it (which you probably can do). Some people are really bothered by the open shower because they want to be able to keep it hot and steamy in there. Others are not bothered by the openness, especially if the bathroom itself is reasonably warm. I fall into the latter category. It depends on where YOU fit on the spectrum. |
i think if you have a regular shower head, there will still be splashing issues, if you do a overhead "rainfall" shower head, then it will probably be okay. But I see a waste of space in your layout. why do you need a "full height" wall at the bottom of the shower area? is there some kind of code you have to fulfill? Can you just make the left side the shower area from top to bottom, then extend the "pony wall" a little longer to keep things proportional? and turn the corner seat to a flip down wall bench. |
Thanks, nyc...since our bathroom is so small I think there's a possibility it may work without the door. I usually let the shower run for several minutes before hopping in anyhow..maybe a few more minutes would do the trick. :) noopd: we have ZERO closet/cabinet space for towels, linens, etc so the space to left of shower seat is for that purpose. |
A towel (which dries faster)or bath mat on the floor just outside the curb will catch any errant spray. If you install a heat lamp right above it, you can solve that chilly problem. You could hang the "foot towel" on a Command Hook on that pony wall next to the vanity. A hand/face towel doesn't take up much room on a hook. Just suggestions. -Babka |
Well we opted for the door. It came down to a very unsophisticated demonstration by the glass guy (who honestly didn't seem to care one way or the other if we chose a door or not.) He stood approximately where we will stand during a shower and noted how the spray would shoot right off of DH shoulders, out the door opening, and hitting me...all dressed and ready for work haha.

Rainy weather means historic museum trip for Earnhardt
- Jul 09, 2009
- 88 Team
INDIANAPOLIS (July 9, 2009) – Thursday's rainy weather kept Dale Earnhardt Jr. from circling Indianapolis Motor Speedway in an IndyCar, but it also afforded the driver a rare opportunity to visit the historic racetrack's Hall of Fame Museum.
Earnhardt, driver of the No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet, made a pit stop at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday on his way to this weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Chicagoland Speedway.
Earnhardt was scheduled to join fellow National Guard driver Dan Wheldon for a hotlap in an IndyCar two-seater and drive the car that won the 1941 Indy 500. But the weather postponed those plans, and the racing buff was invited to view the historic cars stored in the museum's basement. This part of the museum is closed to the public.
"I filled up my phone with all kinds of video," Earnhardt admitted. "I stood next to a Formula One car for the first time. I had never been in the same room with a Formula One car, and if you're a race car driver, that's kind of like being in the same room with a national swimsuit model or something.
"I was pretty much in awe just to be next to a vehicle like that. And all the other cars that were in there, Smokey Yunick's little sidepod car, all kinds of neat little things that have happened at this racetrack and have been brought to this racetrack."
Earnhardt and the Sprint Cup Series will travel to Indianapolis for the Brickyard 400 on July 26.

15 great tracks by artists who influenced Waits or were inspired by him, including Captain Beefheart, Beirut, Howlin' Wolf, Harry Partch, Johnny Dowd, Frank Sinatra and The Low Anthem
I was going to write something to mark the sad passing of Bert Jansch, in addition to John Robinson's fine tribute in this month's issue. But after reading Roy Harper's fond farewell to his old friend on royharper.com, I asked Roy if I could reprint it here, which he was happy for me to do. This is some of what Roy wrote:
"Bert Jansch and I arrived at the same club in London within three months of each other in 1965. We'd both had very separate journeys to get there, we knew nothing of each other, but we arrived at Les Cousins in Greek St, Soho, for the same reason. We were both inspired to play music to people. I was introduced to the club by Peter Bellamy of The Young Tradition.
"Within a week I realised that this was going to be my new home. There was lots to take in. There were so many fantastic young musicians. I can remember being absolutely blown away by a young American called Danny Kalb in the first week. Going home and thinking that as far as the blues was concerned, I was miles behind where I could have been. I'd been in my own vacuum, it was time to get involved.
"The young players were all very gifted but very different people. It was an amazing place to be. Among the many I saw in that first week were John Renbourn, Alexis Korner, Paul Simon and Alex Campbell, oh, and yes, someone called Bert Jansch. Bert who? How d'you spell that then? At first I didn't know what to think about Bert except that, in all probability, from a womans point of view, he was incredibly attractive. He was very softly spoken and obviously very shy
"For a young man of 20, his songs were astounding. Things like 'Needle Of Death', 'Running From Home' and 'Strolling Down The Highway', as well as his own version of Davy Graham's famous 'Anji' were truly magic pieces of their age. He was a humble powerhouse whose honesty was so obviously unquestionable.
"Bert was always such a very private man. Getting him to respond was sometimes an undertaking. It was often a struggle for him to speak, but then again, his songs spoke for him. They were often among the most eloquent pieces of musical folk art imaginable. Plaintive, intricate and beckoning, with seemingly an ancient root reaching back across long centuries to some deeply pure and mysterious earth knowledge.
"As a presence, and particularly as a young man, his effect on most of his friends was beyond description He gave love in such a gentle way that it was impossible not to immediately identify with that and be forever enraptured by one so gifted in that respect. Bert wrote his songs, and treated his friends from the heart, and his friends will never forget him. Ever."

On Monday, the Winona City Council will consider a bid for the replacement of the Lake Park Bike Path. Dunn Blacktop Company, of Winona, made the only bid on the project: $566,000.
That amount is $32,000 over previous estimates of $534,000, but well under a new estimate made by the city engineer early this month. That estimate projected the work would cost $616,000, 13 percent higher than previous figures. The 2013 Capital Improvement Plan is based on that lower figure for the project. The $534,000 figure is years old, said City Engineer Brian DeFrang. Large increases in blacktop costs and design changes to add entrances to the path are responsible for the increased cost estimate.
The majority of the funding for the bike path project is tied to borrowing that has not been approved by the City Council. If the $566,000 contract with Dunn Blacktop is approved, the city staff and the city of Winona Port Authority Commission have expressed plans for the city to borrow more than $320,000 as part of an expected $1.5 million bond to fund renovations at the city airport. Those bonds require city council approval, which has not been received yet. The city plans to use the Port Authoritys special borrowing powers to obtain the funds without voter approval, city staff explained.
Condo zoning
On Monday, the city council will hold a public hearing on changes to the zoning code for the tiny, little-regulated district that surrounds the downtown condominium project. Changes proposed by staff and approved by the Planning Commission would keep density low and square footage per unit high for residential development of the condominium and nearby buildings, as well as require off-street parking for all uses. In 2009, the city established the special zoning district with few rules after Dave McNally announced his intention to build. When the property was acquired by River Bank of La Crosse this spring, which had a potential buyer, city staff scrambled to block the potential for breaking the building up into scores of apartments, and without parking requirements.
Some feared the condominium could become high-density student housing. The new rules would prevent that. Also, by requiring a 1,000-square-foot minimum average apartment size, the new rules would steer residential development in the district toward more affluent residents, city staff said.
East End sidewalk replacement
The city council will also hold a public hearing on proposed sidewalk replacement projects for East Winona, expected to cost $66,630. The city will finance that work, in part, with bonds.

And the sprawling beaches, thriving wildlife, and dazzling sea creatures. Two years ago, after a 20-year clash between environmentalists and loggers, the 650,000-acre rain forest on Clayoquot Sound was named a unesco Biosphere Reserve. What has emerged since then along the 30-mile stretch between Clayoquot and Barkley sounds is a gentle form of ecotourism. In this brave new world, yesterday's logging roads have become today's mountain-biking and hiking trails. Trophy fishing is out; catch-and-release is in–along with kayaking, reef diving, and surfing (in wet suits; it's a tad chilly for swimming even in August). And you no longer need to sleep in a tent to get close to nature: a handful of guest lodges occupy some of the last private waterfront land. The rest belongs to Pacific Rim National Park, where thousand-year-old cedars, spruces, and hemlocks and hundreds of species of wildlife make up some of the most diverse and pristine ecosystems in the world. How's that for a backyard?
Middle Beach Lodge
What Middle Beach Lodge lacks in isolation (it's only two miles from Tofino, the region's hub), it makes up for in rustic elegance. Spread across 40 oceanfront acres are 19 cabins with railed-in sleeping lofts that kids adore; a beach house with six suites and a fitness room; and two main lodges, one for families and one just for adults. Each lodge has a large timber lounge with a stone fireplace in the center, old books scattered about, and lots of big, soft sofas and chairs to flop in–backgammon boards and playing cards within easy reach, natch. There are wraparound decks to boot, affording 180-degree views of the shoreline below. These common areas are the heart and soul of Middle Beach.
Everyone, especially locals, clamors for dinner reservations in the Headlands lounge (Wednesdays through Sundays only), which dishes up locally caught seafood–salmon, crab, halibut. The beauty of Middle Beach is that it feels as if it's deeper in the wilderness than it is, and it's just a five-minute drive from Pacific Rim National Park. So families can kayak along Clayoquot Sound, ogle gray whales frolicking in the water, or escape to the primeval world of a rain forest–and still make it back to the lodge in time for dinner.
Middle Beach Lodge 400 MacKenzie Beach Rd., Tofino; 250/725-2900; doubles from $57, two-bedroom cabins from $87, double (add $13 per child 3Ð15, $18 per child 16 and over), both including breakfast.
Roots Lodge at Reef Point
A town whose name means "safe place to land a canoe" in the Nootka language, Ucluelet (pronounced "yoo-clue-let") has received surprisingly few travelers during the current ecotourism boom, unlike its neighbor Tofino. But Roots Lodge at Reef Point, which opened two years ago, is turning the tide. The lodge launched on brand recognition–the Roots chain of clothing stores is to Canadians what Banana Republic is to Americans. By the end of May it will change its name to Reef Point Lodge, and expand from being a Roots showcase to a full-fledged family resort. Organized outings make the most of the great surfing on Florencia Bay, a couple of miles up the coast; kayaking around the Broken Group Islands in Barkley Sound, just south of Ucluelet; and nearby hiking and biking trails. There's in-house baby-sitting, too, which can include field trips and crafts.
Early critics of the lodge resented what they saw as Roots' attempt to "brand the wilderness." But so far, the secluded setting hasn't been compromised by the resort's guests–families with dogs, Teva-clad newlyweds, surfers–or its architecture. The forest floor remains intact, as the main structure rests on an elevated platform, and a raised boardwalk connects the cabins (built on stilts). To be sure, all of the original 10 cabins and 14 suites bear the rugged-chic mark of the owners: they're outfitted in Roots' brown leather couches, gray fleece throw pillows, and cream jersey sheets. (There are 40 new units in the works.) But in keeping with the camping feel, they all have kitchenettes stocked with tin cups and dishes that seem better suited to a wienie roast than a luxury lodge.
Roots Lodge at Reef Point 310 Seabridge Way, Ucluelet; 888/594-7333 or 250/726-2700; double suites from $63; one-bedroom cabins from $152, double (add $10 per child 12 and under, $13 per child over 12).
Shahowis Resort
A 1974 family vacation turned into a permanent move for Canadians Jennifer and Wayne Wenstob when they happened upon the little-known island of Tzartus in Barkley Sound, the water separating the old fishing village of Bamfield from the sleepy town of Ucluelet. The pair spent their first six months camping on the beach with their four children (two now help run the lodge). They moved from there to a log cabin, and eventually, in 1985, to a custom-built 26-room barge referred to by locals as the Tiltin' Hilton, which served as a base for their new business as fishing outfitters. When the barge was destroyed by a storm in 1992, the misfortune spurred Wayne, an architect, to go forward with a long-held plan: to build a lodge on the island's shore.
Extending hundreds of acres behind the Shahowis Resort is an old-growth rain forest; in front is a vast cove, perfect for mellow turns in a kayak. While the 15 guest rooms are basic–mismatched blankets and quilts, bathrooms with unfinished wood walls–more than half have a view of the sound. ²uiet hours are best spent lounging in front of the huge granite fireplace or joining an impromptu chess or cribbage tournament presided over by the Wenstobs' nine-year-old grandson, Hjalmer, and their youngest daughter, Stella, 12. The size of the great hearth is outdone only by the 12-foot-wide trunk of the spruce that rises 40 feet through the center of the lodge. The lightning-blasted tree is a staggering remnant of the storm that demolished the Wenstobs' barge. The doorway to a second-floor TV room was carved into the trunk, and the uppermost reaches were turned into floorboards and an enormous dinner table.
Jessica, Hjalmer's mother and the oldest of the Wenstobs' three daughters, takes guests out on the sound in search of dinner (Rachel, the second-oldest, and her mother serve up the fish with vegetables from their own garden). But the catch might prove secondary to the birds you can spot–bald eagles, Steller's jays, great blue herons–and the teeming life in the water. Jessica points out orange-and-purple starfish, and you can't miss the ubiquitous bull kelp, whose gas-filled bulbs float on the water's surface like the distended eyeballs of some fantastic sea creature.
No stay here is complete without a walk in the woods led by Hjalmer and Stella. The kids offer wild huckleberries on the way to their pride and joy–a 1,500-year-old hollow cedar tree. It's a tight squeeze getting in, but worth it for the chance to shimmy up to a 25-foot-high peephole in the trunk. Look out below, Swiss Family Robinson!
Shahowis Resort Tzartus Island, Barkley Sound; 250/388-6515; doubles from $270, including meals and boat transfer from Bamfield; kids 3Ð12 half price (under 3 free).

Glensheen Mansion
From MN150
Other Nominations
Although brought to notoriety by the Congdon murders, Glensheen Mansion represents a significant period of Minnesota's history - the iron range boom. During this period a great deal of the ore used in WWII came out of Duluth's port, and fortunes that were made in the steel business developed northern Minnesota and helped build a way of life at mansions like Glensheen, which stands open to the public as a reminder of this now-vanished era.
The Glensheen Mansion has been a part of Minnesota for many years. Many people have toured it and it is one of Minnesota's biggest mansions that is a museum.
Glensheen, located on Lake Superior in Duluth, MN, stands today as one of the grandest homes in Minnesota. Constructed for mining entrepreneur Chester Congdon and family between 1905 and 1908 at a then staggering $850,000, Glensheen represents a truly lost way of life that existed at the turn of 20th-century Minnesota. Congdon, who made the majority of his wealth off of the discovery of iron ore in Northern Minnesota, envisioned an estate of enormous magnitude. Presently sitting on about seven acres of prime Lake Superior lakeshore, Glensheen consists of the main thirty-nine-room mansion and various outer buildings including a gardener's cottage, a carriage house, a boat house, and informal and formal garden areas. At a time when Duluth boasted more millionaires (per capita) than any other city in the world, Glensheen represented Minnesota grandeur and wealth on a magnificent scale. For design and construction, the Congdons obtained the talents of several noted Minnesotans. Minnesota State Architect Clarence Johnston conceived and designed the estate buildings; noted interior designer William A. French of St. Paul designed most interior spaces, providing custom-made furnishings that were shipped up by the boxcar to Duluth's premier address. Noted Minnesota Arts and Crafts designer John Scott Bradstreet personally designed Glensheen's renowned 'Breakfast Room' as well as most spaces on the mansion's third floor (Glensheen's Bradstreet items are one of the finest Arts & Crafts collections presently in Minnesota). Glensheen's interior incorporates imported rugs, fireplaces faced with marble quarried throughout the world, ceilings of gold leaf and imported hand-carved plaster, and hand-carved walls of oak, mahogany and walnut. Noted U.S. manufacturers include the Rookwook Pottery Company, the Grueby Faience Company, the Linden Glass Company, and the Quezal Art Glass Company. What I believe makes Glensheen such a wonderful Minnesota treasure is that the home is essentially identical to the way it was when the family moved into it in November, 1909. Every item original to Glensheen is STILL there! Unlike the James J. Hill house in St. Paul (which was emptied of its original items and now stands empty as a cavernous cave), Glensheen still represents the warmth and comfort that was afforded to the Congdons nearly one hundred years ago. Not only are there hundreds of notes and correspondences between the Congdons and their construction/design staff, there are also photographs, receipts, surplus building materials, and personal family items. Amazingly, Glensheen's carriage house still houses all the Congdon carriages, sleighs, and buggies. In 1968, the Congdon heirs donated Glensheen to the University of Minnesota. Their insight was to preserve Glensheen and use it for "public pursuits which might not otherwise be available because of growing pressure to budget demands upon public and educational institutions". Since 1979, Glensheen has been open to the public for all to enjoy and experience. Presently, over two million visitors have experienced a visit to Glensheen. Minnesotans are incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful asset to enjoy and appreciate - Glensheen truly represents a great part of Minnesota history!

It's extremely rare for an organization to refuse funding,
let alone $45 million. But that is exactly what CARE, a
leading international relief organization, did last month when they refused
U.S. government funding for food aid.
According to a recent General Accountability Office report, the U.S.
food aid program is seriously flawed. CARE agreed, finding that it hindered the
development work they were trying to accomplish in the developing world. By
challenging a policy they viewed as detrimental to their mission, CARE has put a
spotlight on potential flaws in this U.S. policy – a spotlight that may
even generate a change in policy.
The United
States gives a tremendous amount of funding to
U.S.-based organizations best equipped to provide aid – including food, health
care and education – to people in developing countries. Like CARE, these
organizations often have the best understanding of the situation on the ground
and the infrastructure in place to help the most people.
But federal funding comes with a price: a laundry list of
rules and regulations outlining how organizations must spend that money. While
these rules and regulations are often an effective way to monitor
U.S. spending, the need for
U.S. funding often trumps an
organization's desire to challenge – let alone reject – funding because of
flawed policies. When NGOs find that U.S. policies don't support the work
they are trying to accomplish – in this case, alleviating chronic hunger in the
developing world – it's time to speak up. In turn, the U.S. government
must support an environment in which challenge is supported, rather than
stifling dissent.
Sometimes the most powerful decision an organization can make
is the courageous decision to say no to U.S. funding. Many family planning
and reproductive health providers in the developing world have made similar
decisions in recent years, declining much-needed U.S.
family planning funding because of destructive restrictions such as the Global
Gag Rule (Mexico
City Policy). In so doing, organizations like these and
CARE help draw attention to flawed and ineffective U.S.
policies and lay the groundwork for urgently needed reforms.

Apparently people haven't always celebrated Halloween the way that we do today, which is weird, because we sort of assumed "Sexy Referee Costume" was one of those timeless classics that had been around since the days of ancient Rome. It turns out people used to actually be kind of charming and thoughtful, instead of just smearing their bodies with glitter and pointedly refusing to drink anything less than 100 proof. Here's an example.
To celebrate the release of one of our favorite blogs-turned-books, 'Underwater Dogs,' here are some pictures that helped bring photographer Seth Casteel such great success. If you love them, you can find more in his book, which is available here and makes for much better conversation than your current coffee table book, 'Our Bodies, Ourselves.'
It takes a lot to upstage the President of the United States in a photograph, but these grade school kids have done it. We're not the only ones who think so. Even the president himself (or at least his Twitter account) labeled this the "picture of the day." We're pretty sure it's not because of the kid who's trying to eat his shirt. Or the way the president isn't looking at the camera either. Can you guess why?
Ohhhh, so *this* is why Henry Thomas was cast as Elliott in 'E.T.' This tape of his audition shows little Henry crying so hard, it really could make you cry as much as the actual movie.
This confused woman has got cause and effect all switched around. She called into a radio station in Fargo, North Dakota saying that deer crossing signs should be moved... so that deer would start crossing elsewhere.
It's been a good year for the 'Charlie Bit My Finger' kids. First they got their own show, and now they've starred in a commercial for Ragu. We were kind of hoping it turned out pasta sauce was why Charlie tried to eat his brother's hand. Turns out, their online success just depresses them both
Several schools across the country have banned Flamin' Hot Cheetos because they are so unhealthy and dangerous to kids. What about these snacks? They seem *at least* as terrifying as something that promises to be hot as fire. It certainly can't be safe for kids to eat these. Also, we want some.

New Guidelines to Improve Artery Disease CareIn addition to improving care of people affected by peripheral artery disease, these measures may even save lives by helping catch the disease earlier
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology Foundation have issued updated guidelines to better diagnose and manage peripheral artery disease, a condition in which blood flow to the legs (and, rarely, the arms) is reduced due to narrowing of the arteries. In addition to improving care of the increasing number of people affected by peripheral artery disease, these measures may even save lives by helping those at risk head off the disease earlier.
When artery health erodesPeripheral arterial disease is also known as peripheral vascular disease and peripheral artery occlusive disease. By any name, it refers to a condition in which fatty deposits called plaques build up in blood vessels, narrowing the arteries and leading to severe leg pain after walking even short distances (known as intermittent claudication). Peripheral arterial disease makes simple everyday activities more difficult, which can significantly reduce quality of life.Healthcare providers welcome new guidelinesAccumulating research since the original peripheral artery disease guidelines were released in 2005 has indicated the need for an overhaul. Among the most notable changes is the push toward "simple" ways to improve care and save lives of people with peripheral artery disease, including:
They also outlined aggressive options for treating peripheral artery disease, including offering less invasive surgery (called leg artery angioplasty) to treat leg blood vessel plaques, and offering traditional "open" vascular surgery for people who are expected to live more than two years after surgery. Dr. Thom Rooke of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota chaired the guideline-writing group and pointed out that peripheral artery disease often is treated less aggressively than heart disease, even though peripheral artery disease itself is a sign that a person already may have significant heart disease. These guidelines go a long way toward acknowledging that prevention is as important as treating the condition once it occurs. Better use of these simple interventions should lead to more saved lives and improved quality of life for many older people. (2011 ACCF/AHA Focused Update of the Guideline for the Management of Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease.

School of Journalism and Mass Media Physical Address: Administration Bldg. 347 PHONE: (208) 885-6458 FAX: (208) 885-6450 E-MAIL: email@example.com Mailing Address: School of Journalism and Mass Media c/o University of Idaho 875 Perimeter Drive MS 3178 Moscow, ID 83844-3178
The School of Journalism and Mass Media at the University of Idaho will team with regional news organizations to celebrate National News Engagement Day, Tuesday, Oct. 7, with events from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Idaho Commons plaza. Representatives of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, the Lewiston Tribune and KREM-TV of Spokane will join JAMM students and faculty on the plaza to promote news engagement and news literacy. "We want to demonstrate to UI students that the news matters to them – and to show them how easy it is to connect with the media organizations that report and deliver the news," said Kenton Bird, JAMM director. A 2012 news consumption survey by the Pew Research Center called 29% of Americans under age 25 "newsless" because on a typical day they did not get news from a traditional or digital news platform. "We know that legacy media – printed newspapers and broadcast television in particular – are losing audiences," Bird said. "What's not clear is whether online news sites, social networks and news delivered via tablet or cellphone have picked up the slack." The challenge for media organizations and journalism-media schools, he added, is to show young people the relevance of the news, as well as ways to stay informed through digital platforms, such as news applications on cellphones and tablets. To that end, JAMM will give away a Samsung tablet pre-loaded with news, sports and politics applications. Students will take a short news quiz to be entered in the drawing. Two UI alumni who work at KREM-TV will participate: Hayley Guenthner, a reporter and news anchor, and Trinity Spencer, an assignment editor. They will talk about the news-gathering process, answer questions, and demonstrate ways that KREM presents news and information outside the conventional over-the-air newscast. JAMM students will distribute newspapers and promotional materials from news organizations. Steve Smith, a clinical faculty member in JAMM, will speak at the UI's Malcolm Renfrew Interdisciplinary Colloquium at 12:30 p.m. in the Commons Whitewater Room about news literacy. "Moving young people back to traditional news sources is a pipe dream," said Smith, who teaches the school's introductory Media and Society course. "The goal of news literacy education at the University of Idaho and elsewhere is to teach young news consumers how to navigate the digital information universe, using tools that help them separate independent and verifiable information from rumor, falsehood and fact-less punditry." National News Engagement Day is sponsored by leaders of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC). The initiative officially launched Sept. 23 with release of a poll about a news consumption by AEJMC, the Radio-Television-Digital News Association and other News Engagement Day partners. That survey showed a significant lack of engagement in news as well as low trust in the news media. Paula Poindexter, associate professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas and past president of AEJMC, led the initiative.
Two of Four Competitive Grants Go to UI Students Two University of Idaho students have been awarded Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association (PNNA) intern grants. An accolade only four students lay claim to this year. Senior Kaitlyn Krasselt, and junior Ryan Tarinelli, both journalism majors and employees of the Argonaut are two of four recipients of the PNNA grant. The $1,500 educational grant is provided to students who secure an internship accompanied by a letter of recommendation. "It's an endorsement to the 25-odd newspapers in our region that these people are quality. It tells them that they'll have a good employee and for our students to have an opportunity like this is so cool," said student media adviser Shawn O'Neal. Krasselt, of Moscow, has worked at the Argonaut since her first year, originally as an office assistant and now serves as a news editor. Tarinelli, of Bellview, Wash. is the current opinion editor and an accomplished trombone player. "It's a significant achievement for us. These are the awards we strive for," said O'Neal.
Scholarship Honors Sandra Haarsager The School of Journalism and Mass Media has established a scholarship to honor the memory of Sandra Haarsager, a long-time University of Idaho administrator and JAMM faculty member who died October, 2007.

This project started out as an art session. The kids were allowed to free paint with water colours. As I allowed them to dry and sat admiring them (yes, I do that…I don't know about anyone else but I love children's artwork, any childs artwork- there's something marvellous about how uninhibited children's works is). Anyway I noticed how their paintings had many insecty like representations within it…admittedly, I have been planning to do a topic on insects with them for a while and had insects on my mind.
While they were sleeping so as not to hurt their feelings- mum attacking their work with scissors is not an image I want them to see, I cut out the kids paintings and drew what I saw on them (for those who aren't in the habit of seeing insects in abstract artwork!):
So started the beginning of our insect lapbook- and here goes the rest of it:

Hockey: Illiana Blackbirds fall short of sweeping rival
By Tommy Williams Post-Tribune correspondent October 27, 2013 7:34PM
Updated: December 1, 2013 7:04AM
DYER — As the old clique goes, familiarity breeds contempt. And in the case of the Illiana Blackbirds, it made it even tougher to get a sweep in their three-game homestand with Central Wisconsin at the Midwest Training and Ice Center in Dyer.
After picking up decisive wins over the Saints on Friday (4-1) and Saturday (6-1), the Blackbirds lost the final game of the series 4-3 with the game-winner coming one minute into the third period on a shot just inside the blueline by Dylan Grant.
"Any time you try to sweep a team, it's really difficult, especially in that third game," said Blackbirds assistant coach Jake Engquist.
"Today they had a little more in the tank."
Case in point: In the first two games of the series, the Blackbirds scored first and dominated the score sheet in the third period.
On Sunday, though, the Saints scored first on a 5-on-3 power play with Grant lighting the lamp at 16:28.
And unlike the past two games, the Blackbirds were outscored in the final period 2-0, including a Grant goal right after the Blackbirds killed a penalty at the 1:08 mark of the third period from the right point that put the Blackbirds in a 3-2 hole they couldn't dig out of.
The Blackbirds emptied their net for a sixth attacker in the final minute of the game, but on a Saints counter-attack, a Blackbirds player knocked the net of off it's morings. By league rules, when that happens, the attacking team is awarded a goal.
"We came out of the gates Friday and Saturday and smoked them pretty good," Eugquist said. "We played a solid fundamental game, but they had more energy today."
The Blackbirds came back from one-goal deficits twice, both coming in the second period with Antonio Ercoli tying the game at 1-1 and Nathan Alosio tying it at 2-2 at 4:19.

Reputation management using SEO was not very well known in Denmark until 2008, where a big financial scandal brought the topic to the media.
The IT Factory scandal
A company called IT Factory was closed down, after CEO the left the company, his wife and everything else on a business trip to Dubai.
People at that point began to investigate the CEO, Stein Bagger, and it turned out he had used a SEO firm to do reputation management. The SEO Company had optimized pages to push down negative posts and articles about the CEO.
From that day reputation management using SEO was a part of the PR toolkit even in Denmark. And with social media growing i'm sure reputation management will be a very important part of the SEO job in the years to come
David Naylor on reputation management
At Search Engine Strategies in London reputation management, and reputation management was one of the key topics.
The very competent and colourful SEO David Naylor spoke on reputation management at SES London 2009. Here is what he said when he was interviewed after the session.
