Read for the Record is a national campaign originally conceived by Jumpstart, in partnership with the Pearson Foundation. Every Oct. 3 finds children all across the country reading or being read the event's main book. Students in schools, after-school programs and special events like the one hosted at CSCC were introduced to "Otis" by Loren Long.
Suzanne Wood, early childhood education coordinator and associate professor, said the reading program is an effective tool for childhood literacy.
"I think it gets children involved in reading and the enjoyment of literature. You can never start too young," Wood said. "We don't put any age limits on the children, and neither does Read for the Record. Any child can come and participate."
The ECE Club spent about a month planning for the event. According to Wood, the special day offers her students an opportunity to gain real-life experience. She explained their roles as teachers will one day find them planning similar events on a regular basis for their students.
"Otis" is a story about an old tractor who has been sent out to pasture and his young friend, a calf. The calf finds herself in some trouble when she is stuck in mud. It is up to the old, but reliable, Otis to save the day.
"The friendship was between a young calf and an older tractor, kind of like a grandparent and a child," Wood explained. "Even though [some people] are older, they can still care for [those younger] and provide good things for them."
Several stations were set up for children to further their understanding of the initial reading. One station found children mixing various sweet foods, like pudding and gummy worms, to create a "dirt" cup. The fun concoction looked similar to the mud surrounding the young calf.
Another station had students paste together a cow's face onto half a paper plate. The children were left with a mask they could tie together with a piece of yarn. An accompanying station allowed students to gain an elementary understanding, using construction paper, of how a tractor comes together.
ECE Club president Lindsey Prok said members spent a month on the project.
"We decided what the theme was and how we could relate this to kids and how they could learn a lesson from this tractor," Prok said. "... We worked together to come up with some ideas for what we could do for this event."
According to Wood, the main objective of the day was to have fun.
"I want them to have a good time. Hopefully, they will learn something as they do an activity," Wood said. "All the activities are very simple— things parents can do at home with the kids. We want parents to do it [at home]."
Prok shared similar sentiments.
"It is always a great opportunity for kids in the community and our school faculty and staff to be able to come out and see what it is all about," Prok said. "They are able to find out how to relate books [to their children] and relate crafts to books, so they can further the education provided by the book."
Wood encouraged members of the community to check out the newly renovated library facilities at the college. She said anyone could receive a library card at a minimal cost. Those who have ever attended CSCC need not pay a fee. There is a children's section and the opportunity to check out Book Buddy bags for kids.

Saint Paul Board Chair Twila Glenn said, "We are pleased to be able to grant Dr. McCoy a much-deserved and long-overdue leave as he prepares for the next season of his ministry. We are also extremely fortunate that Dr. LaGree has agreed to provide leadership to Saint Paul during this time of transition and change at our seminary."
Dr. LaGree's term of service will be November 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, to coincide with the period during which Dr. McCoy is absent from the seminary. The Board expects to name a President July 1, 2014.As Acting President, LaGree will have full responsibility for both internal and external operations. He will reside in Kansas City and provide leadership at both the Saint Paul at Greater Kansas City and Oklahoma City campuses.
Kevin LaGree returns to the seminary with a multitude of Higher Education Administration and church experiences. He served as the Saint Paul Vice President of Institutional Advancement from 1986-1988. LaGree then went on to be Dean and Professor of Divinity at Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, GA and then President of Simpson College in Indianola, IA. His many memberships and public service positions include leadership roles in the American Academy of Religion, The Association of Theological Schools, The University Senate of the United Methodist Church, In Trust Magazine Board of Advisors, and the World Methodist Council. He has served urban, rural, and suburban churches and is a retired elder in the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. LaGree holds a B.A. in history from the University of Kansas, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, an M.Div. from Saint Paul School of Theology, and a D.D. from LaGrange College. Upon accepting the position, LaGree said, "By the grace of God, I was retired and fully available when the Saint Paul Board of Trustees approached me about this position. I am who I am as a person due in large part to Saint Paul. I can never repay what I owe to the seminary for educating and transforming me. There was never a doubt in my mind that, if selected, I would serve gladly, energetically, and enthusiastically."

San Diego, Calif.Two months ago we had a chance to spend some time behind the wheel of prototype versions of Infiniti's new M37 and M56 sedans. We were certainly impressed. But it's difficult to judge a luxury car when there are still some rough edges to smooth out.
Well, after driving the production sedans for a day on some challenging driving loops in the mountains near San Diego, we can say these new Infinitis are assuredly smooth. The midsize luxury sedan class has been heating up thanks to recent launches of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series. Are these Infinitis capable and comfortable enough to take on these legendary German rivals? Let's find out.
The Specs
Under the hood of the $46,250 M37 is the familiar 3.7-liter VQ-series V6, now rated at 330 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. But the biggest news, for those who relish the thrust from V8 power, is the motor in the $57,550 M56. The new 5.6-liter V8 is rated at 420 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired to a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive is optional.M37s are rated to deliver 18 mpg city and 26 highway, while the V8 M56 model's performance dips slightly to 16 mpg city and 25 highway.
Like nearly every other car in Infiniti's lineupwith the exception of the hulking QX56 SUVthe new M sedans ride on an updated version of the company's FM platform. This architecture is so flexible it can underpin cars as varied in size and mission as the Nissan 370Z and the Infiniti FX crossovers.
Unlike most new car redesigns today, the dimensions of the M have not grown by much in this latest generationit is wider by 1.5 inches, lower by a fraction of an inch and slightly longer too. But the wheelbase remains the same, and that means the interior provides roughly the same roominess as the old car. The new Ms haven't gained much weight either, the M37 at 3858 pounds is 6 pounds less than the old car and the M56 is 70 pounds more than the old M45.
The focus of the new M's chassis was refinement. Upfront, the double-wishbone suspension remains largely the same. But in the rear, the multilink design has been heavily modified with far beefier-looking lower links, retuned rubber bushings and a new coilover shock design. The goal? Increase comfort without loosing any of the sportiness.
Speaking of the "s" word, a sport package can be optioned on either the V6 or V8 cars. This includes larger 14-inch front rotors (13.8-inch in the rear) along with new dual-piston shocks, four-wheel steering (up to 1-degree rear steer in phase with front wheels) and 20-inch wheels with summer tiresamongst numerous interior upgrades such as magnesium paddle shifters and thicker bolstered seats.
The new M is packed with technical prowess too. There's a standard Drive Mode Selector that will vary throttle progression and transmission shift mapping for one of four modes, standard, sport, eco and snow.
The option list is deep with new tech too. There's not only a blind-spot warning system but also Blind Spot Intervention that uses cameras and individual wheel braking to guide the car away from a lane that is occupied. Similarly, Active Trace Control will use selective individual wheel braking to set the car up for an upcoming cornerit's almost like a pre-stability control. The system doesn't make the new M corner any more quickly, but it does smooth out transitions.

Topic: Indus motors Venpalavattom
I had three services of my Car with them (1st service to 3) . In every three services I had to take back my car to them the next day with new introduced defects.. and that also they couldn't rectify it. I suspect that, they even removed some parts and made me replaced it using my extended warranty(some priced more tha 2k)... Now I stopped dealing with them and did the 20 K KM service in an authorized center in my native and I am feeling the difference and enjoying the same riding comfort the vehicle had given me from 0 to 5k KM

Updated: January 10, 2013 6:11AM
This past week, I was half-watching the morning news when they aired a report about how Prince Charles was depressed that he was one of the least popular Royals. He's bummed because he's already 64, and his mom looks like she's going to live forever, and at this rate he'll never get to be king. (I'm not sure I understand the problem. The promotion seems to involve little more than getting a scepter and a slightly bigger crown, which frankly looks uncomfortable.) The TV reporter went on to note that while Brits were getting tired of Royals in general, Americans are still mesmerized, because we don't have a royal family here to follow. I nodded.
The very next report, though, was an announcement that Jenna Bush Hager, already a special correspondent for the "Today" show, has taken a side job as an editor at large for the magazine Southern Living. I sat and stared at the TV. Chelsea Clinton is also a reporter for NBC. Chris Cuomo, the son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, is an anchor for 20/20. Meghan McCain has a cushy job as a columnist. Bristol Palin, who doesn't seem to have any verifiable skills except a knack for picking men badly, has had her own reality show. I'm pretty sure that the Obama girls have already lined up some sort of "special teen correspondent" contracts with CNN, to start in four years.
It hit me: We don't have a royal family here in the states. We have a whole lot of them. If you have a rich or famous parent in this country, odds are you're going to end up rich or famous. If you have a rich and famous parent, you could be the dopiest, dullest person in the world, your only accomplishment in life having been being in the right womb, and you're still headed for the top. Think about it: You live in a world where Bristol Palin is going to do better than your kids.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think that people ought to be penalized just for having rich and famous parents. There are some who probably would have done OK even if they came from so-so parents. Take the Trumps — Ivanka Trump, for instance, actually seems smarter than her dad. Donald Jr. is another story. I'm pretty sure that if Donald Jr. didn't have a mogul dad, he wouldn't be a big-shot businessman. I think he'd still hear "you're fired" a lot, but after that, be handed a box and asked to get his stuff out of the building.
The Donald himself didn't exactly start at the bottom to begin with. His own father was a fabulously successful real estate developer in Manhattan. Donald had his first skyscraper back in the days when he didn't even need a comb-over. Mitt Romney's a self-made billionaire, and I'm sure it was just coincidence that his father George Romney was not only chairman of the world's biggest auto company but also governor of Michigan. Jenna Bush Hager is the daughter of a president, who was the son of a president, who was the son of a Senator. We don't elect people in this county, we coronate them.
I'm sure there are some families where the kids aren't too keen on following in the family business. I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Irwin's son's first words were "Crikey! I'll be stuffed, mate! You want me to stick my head in what?" And O.J. Simpson's kids probably sit up at night worrying that they'll inherit some of Dad's fame.
A lot of this, of course, is spoiled grapes. My own parents, while perfectly good at raising kids, were neither rich nor famous. While my father didn't leave me a vast fortune, he did give me a couple of his old ties and a pair of shoes that were only slightly cracked. When I went out looking for my first job, I got a lot of blank stares. I was almost ready to print resumes by the ream and carpet bomb the city. My own kids will suffer the same fate. They'd probably be better off if they claimed to be orphans.
My grandkids will probably sit down in front of their 800 million megapixel flat-screen 3D TV one night to watch a presidential debate between Sen. Sasha Obama and Gov.r George Herbert Walker Prescott Bush VI, moderated by the respected journalist Donald Trump III. Of course that's only if President Bristol Palin doesn't run for a second term.

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 Lorenzo!
Facts about Lorenzo
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso Mix
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Lorenzo's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
It's always difficult to understand when a beautiful 3 or so year old, 27 lb dog with an exceptional temperament (and his sister Julia) is turned into a municipal shelter. Lorenzo is described by his guardian with the following adjectives: perfect, house trained, super-loving, devoted and the best dog ever...and yes...real men DO wear pink! The Farfel's rescuers are so happy to rescue Lorenzo from his shelter life and provide him with a Colorado home that will love and appreciate this exceptional Poodle/Lhasa. Lorenzo couldn't love his humans more. He's always ready for a long bellyrub, a walk in the mountains or even running errands makes Lorenzo happy if he's with his family. He would be perfect in a dog-friendly workplace and would never consider behavior that is babyish or destructive. Lorenzo also loves his time with children. He enjoys playtime and is always gentle and very careful to be kind with hesitant children. He's also very excited to spend time with his canine companions. His tail wags with the joy of the moment. Lorenzo is an outgoing and adventurous guy... he's always ready for anything you might suggest. He lets you know how happy he is when he's included in the fun! His life in an Oklahoma shelter was too sedentary for Lorenzo and added a few extra pounds around his middle....he would enjoy the healthy food and consistent exercise that will take those pounds off. He walks perfectly on a leash and is always a pleasure to be out and about with...truly a well-behaved, joyous companion. Lorenzo is a non-shedding pup and will therefore require periodic grooming to keep his coat healthy and matt-free.
Lorenzo is being fostered in Boulder, CO.. Applications are currently being accepted for this amazing and loving companion. He's also available for a "meet & greet" with a great Colorado/Wyoming/ NM home.
Other Pets at Farfel's Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lorenzo, a Boulder Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso for sale in Boulder, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso dog from a breeder in Boulder.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Boulder 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 Boulder 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 Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Boulder paves the way for another one to be saved.

New Drug For Type 2: Precose Gets FDA OK
Precose, a new oral drug from Bayer, was recently granted market clearance by the FDA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Precose, also called acarbose, works differently than current drugs. By slowing the digestion of carbohydrates in the small intestine, Precose decreases the rise in blood sugar that typically occurs after eating. As a result, the drug allows the body's own insulin to better regulate blood glucose levels.
"When diet and exercise fail, Precose can be an ideal treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes," says Harold Lebovitz, MD, Professor of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, N.Y. "Precose significantly reduces after-meal glucose levels. In addition, unlike sulfonylurea drugs, Precose does not cause hypoglycemia, hyperinsu-linemia, or weight gain."
According to Bayer, side effects of the drug "tend to be gastrointestinal in nature, such as flatulence, abdominal distention, and diarrhea due to fermentation of undigested carbohydrates. However, these symptoms have been moderate and generally diminish over time."
Says Frank Vinicor, MD, MPH, President of the ADA, "Type 2 diabetes is a serious, complex disease best managed through an individualized treatment plan. Acarbose offers physicians and the diabetes healthcare team a new tool in determining the best course of treatment for people with type 2 diabetes and for helping them achieve glycemic control."
Precose has been available for over four years in Europe under the brand name Glucobay.

When cartoonist Bill Watterson announced that his phenomenally popular cartoon strip would be discontinued, Calvin and Hobbes fans throughout the world went into mourning. Fans have learned to survive -- despite the absence of the boy and his tiger in the daily newspaper. It's a Magical World delivers all the satisfaction of visiting its characters once more. Calvin fans will be able to see their favorite mischief maker stir it up with his furry friend, long-suffering parents, classmate Susie Derkins, school teacher Miss Wormwood, and Rosalyn the baby-sitter. It's a Magical World includes full-color Sundays and has it all: Calvin-turned-firefly waking Hobbes with his flashlight glow; courageous Spaceman Spiff rocketing through alien galaxies as he battles Dad-turned-Bug-Being; and Calvin's always inspired snowman art. There's no better way for Watterson fans to savor again the special qualities of their favorite strip.
Bill Watterson is the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, one of the most popular and well-regarded cartoon strips of the twentieth century. Calvin and Hobbes appeared in newspapers from November 1985 until Watterson's retirement in 1996.

I am planning to purchase and grow Jasmine plants here in seattle area. I heard it will be ok in summer, but die during winter. Is that true? Is there any other types of jasmine plants I can grow in this area? THanks |

Jasmine is in general half-hardy, some are fully hardy. Otherwise, officinale I'd expect to survive in your area, along with beesianum and stephanense. |
so do you think officinale, beesianum and stephanense will survive all year long in my area? I am very new to gardening, BTW if anybody knows where can I get these.. please post here. Thanks |
Jasminum officinale and J. x stephanense can be purchased from local garden centers. J. beesianum is less easily located, but doesn't smell anyway. Try THE PLANT LOCATOR - WESTERN REGION (Black-Eyed Susans/Timber) for unusual plants. |
- Posted by RisingPower1 UK (My Page) on Mon, May 9, 05 at 7:22
I think they should survive all year long, it'll look like it has died back in winter, but it will come back in mid/late spring. You may prefer a trachelospermum jasminoides though, even hardier and smells more strongly of jasmine/similar. Both officinale and trachelospermum are very difficult to kill. |
Tracelospermum is less hardy, not more. |
- Posted by RisingPower1 UK (My Page) on Mon, May 9, 05 at 16:34
Hm, well the rhs state it as being fully hardy, the officinale being stated as half hardy. Either way they're both fully hardy here. |

Fifi Abdo gives money away

Egyptian belly dancer/actor Fifi Abdo has completed filming the scenes of her upcoming television drama "Azhar" (Flowers), to be aired this coming holy month of Ramadan on 'Al Rai' satellite channel.
Fifi began dolling out large sums of money to the entire cast of the new drama as she left the studio, according to the London based Elaph. Fifi said she thought showing her appreciation for the cast and crew's effort was a "nice gesture."
Fifi revealed that she does intend to return to her original profession of belly dancing in the new play "Rawaih" (Scents), in which she stars in alongside Jamal Ismail, Mohammad Abd Al Hafez, and Jamal Abd Al Nasser.
Fifi also intends to lower ticket prices for the play, which she previously increased.

Tim and Danny were genetically engineered to break their backs in the name of manual labor, so they have no problem collecting or hammering their cod. Nicky and Kim are another story, as Kim thinks she dropped the clue, then realizes after a hilarious amount of time that it's in her mouth. I'm liking them more and more, especially because they know how to focus on what's really important in the race. "Your arms look so strong right now," Kim assures Nicky as her staggering friend threatens to face-plant into a frozen road.
And it's cute when Nicky gets her hair caught in the cod for about a billion years, then finally emerges to tell the sleepy Norwegian codpiece, "That is…not normal." There's suddenly a shot of this sleepy gentle giant grinning head-on, clearly taken out of context, but I laugh, because my standards have been flattened to about the height of a kilo of cod jerky. Sleepy gentle giant gets a huge hug when Nicky and Kim finish, and that's really what it's all about.
How many times has Kim said something's the hardest thing she's ever done? This is at least three or four. Wait 'til she has to eat a baby animal's ear.
Boats! "Let's get some beards in the wind," Brandon enthuses as they travel to the ROADBLOCK: Who's the biggest swinger? One member of each team must swing from the end of an 80-foot rope, then plunge into the Arctic Ocean and swim to the next clue. Once again, the Beards are made for this. How amazing was Adam freaking out on the boat after Brandon plunged? "He can swim like a seal! Like a shark! Like a seal shark!" I love when the adrenaline rush transfers to the non-participating partner.
My Little Baby Fisherman (Jason) has trouble reaching the ball he needs to grab to let go (of his deepest darkest secrets?), which gives Pinky a great chance to doubt her punching bag's ability to conquer the Roadblock himself. "Looks like you need upper body strength. I'm not too confident he's strong enough to pull this off." Um, bitch, have you ever SEEN your partner? His arms are like bulging sacks of jewels, and he should be re-appraised and treated as a rarity by someone far kinder than you. Anyway, Tim obviously finishes the Roadblock in an instant. Pinky pats him on the head.
Kim makes me laugh again: "You look like a bank robber!" she yells to her flailing partner after they'd sunk into last place. I almost choke up as she continues, "I don't want to stop seeing the world." Luckily I catch myself because we're about to deal with MANLY TRUCKS.
NEXT: Which team is built AS TOUGH AS A FORD?

In four days the UN Security Council will meet, and the world has an opportunity to embrace a new proposal that could turn the tide on decades of failed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks: UN recognition of the state of Palestine.
Over 120 nations from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America have already endorsed this initiative, but Israel's right-wing government and the US vehemently oppose it. The UK and other key European countries are still undecided, but a massive public push now could tip them to vote for this momentous opportunity to end 40 years of military occupation.
US-led peace initiatives have failed for decades, while Israel has confined the Palestinians to small areas, confiscated their lands and blocked their independence. This bold new initiative could be the best opportunity to jump start a resolution of the conflict, but Europe and the UK must take the lead. Let's build a massive global call for the UK and other European leaders to endorse this statehood bid now, and make clear that citizens across the world support this legitimate, non-violent, diplomatic proposal. Sign the petition and send this to everyone:
While the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are complex, most people on all sides agree that the best path to peace now is the creation of two states. But repeated peace processes have been undermined by violence on both sides, extensive Israeli settlement-building in the West Bank, and the humanitarian blockade on Gaza. The Israeli occupation has shrunk and fragmented the territory for a Palestinian state and made daily life a crippling ordeal for the Palestinian people. The UN, World Bank and IMF have all recently announced that Palestinians are ready to run an independent state, but say the main constraint to success is the Israeli occupation. Even the US President has called for an end to settlement expansion and a return to the 1967 borders with mutually agreed land-swaps, but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has furiously refused to cooperate.
Sign for Independence for Palestine - the world's next nation
It's time for a dramatic shift away from a futile peace process and on to a new path for progress. While the Israeli and US governments are calling the Palestinian initiative 'unilateral' and dangerous, in fact the world's nations overwhelmingly support this diplomatic move away from violence. Global recognition of Palestine could crush extremists, and foster a growing non-violent Palestinian-Israeli movement in step with the democratic momentum across the region. Most importantly, it will rescue a path to a negotiated settlement, allow the Palestinians access to a variety of international institutions that can help advance Palestinian freedom, and send a clear signal to Israel's pro-settler government that the world will no longer accept their impunity and intransigence.
For too long, Israel has undermined the hope for a Palestinian state. For too long, the US has appeased them, and for too long Europe has hidden behind the US. Right now, France, Spain, Germany, the UK and the High Representative of the EU are on the fence about Palestinian statehood. Let's appeal to them to stand on the right side of history and support a Palestinian declaration of freedom and independence, with overwhelming support, and financial aid. Sign the urgent petition now to urge Europe to support the bid and back this move for long-term peace in Israel and Palestine:
Sign for Independence for Palestine - the world's next nation
Palestinian statehood will not bring a resolution to this intractable conflict overnight, but UN recognition will change the dynamics and will begin to unlock the door towards freedom and peace. Across Palestine, people are preparing, with hope and expectation, to reclaim a freedom their generation has never known. Let's stand with them and push European leaders to do the same, as they have stood with the people of Egypt, Syria and Libya.

I want to remove a cabinet placed between the bathroom wall and the shower, remove the end shower wall, and put in or build in a Japanese type soaking tub in the space. Question is, will it fit? Assumimg that i take out the cabinet and the shower wall, I have 59 inches between the bathroom wall and the shower wall that has the pipes. this end shower wall I would rather not touch because i am trying to minimize the work to be done. I have read that a shower should be at least 30 inches wide. So, 30 inches for the shower, 22 for the inside of the tub, leaves 7 inches for the wall(s) of the ofuro. I have a lounge chair that is 22 inches wide and I fit fine with room to spare. Would that be too narrow and uncomfortable for a soaking tub? There are no tubs 29 inches wide by 48 inches long. So, I will have to have it custom made. I can have a real wood ofuro, but the bathroom wall will have to be prepped and tiled and the ofuro will have 2 sides. Will all that fit in the 7 inches I have to play with if I make the inside 22 inches? Or, I could have a costume made "pool" out of tile. Attached is a photo from houzz. Mine wouldn't have the bench. How difficult would it be to make this. Because the tub/shower are small and have no division between them, I hope to drain the tub into the shower and fill the tub with the handheld shower. Thoughts on this? Since I will have elbow room (over the tub) would it be possible to reduce the shower floor from the minimum 30 inches and still be comfortable? (In Europe I have been in showers where you can't pick up the soap from the floor unless you step out. Don't want to do that, but I know that I can live with a little less than is often allowed) Thank you for sharing your thoughts! |

How will you drain the tub into the shower? If you don't have the bench/step, how will you get in/out of the tub? We have the Ann Sacks Onzen tub - now called something else. I like the deep soaking. |
The tub will be in the shower so it will drain onto the floor of the shower. The steps will be at the end of the tub, not at the side where the shower is. Can people please comment on my questions? Is the silence because people don't know or is it because it is too crazy for words? |
- Posted by allison0704 (My Page) on Wed, May 29, 13 at 8:49
I saw you cross post in kitchens and came to see if anyone else had commented. I think it's because it's something rarely seen... not necessarily crazy. I understand a drain will be in the shower. My question was how are you going to keep the water in the tub, and remove "what" to drain the water out? There has to be a side plug, opening, whatever-you-want-to-call it to drain the water out of the tub and into the shower area. |
I can't figure out what you are describing. How about posting a drawing of your proposed layout? |
- Posted by sleevendog (My Page) on Thu, May 30, 13 at 12:13
Custom does cost money but you might be saving by keeping your existing shower. Is that what you are suggesting? Mock up a full scale model in cardboard? Fuss with it and see how it might play out. Filling it with your handheld shower head? Could work if the tub is tiny. I really like soaking tubs. Drainage? Lots of plumbing work and digging up the floor? Post photos of your existing bath area and consider all the issues. I have considered one but all the issues without a gut reno makes it just a dream at this point...and my tiled walk-in is fine. A free standing cedar/redwood or teak ofuro could be placed anywhere with a drain added. So have a proper simple faucet added at the same time. Anything is possible but needing a tiler, a builder for framework, and a plumber...unless you are very handy for a DIY or partial diy, you are tapping the cash register. I have and exterior cedar wood fired soaker that i love... |
Here is a link that might be useful: soaking tub
Allison, many of the ofuro have a toe plug that you remove with your foot. I live in a condo, the bathroom is small, this is a bathroom that I remodeled recently, and some of the very expensive (to me) Bisazza tiles are no longer available. So, I have a lot of challenges. The only possibilities I see are to take out the linen cupboard at the end of the shower, extend the shower snd put in an ofuro, or take out one of the double sinks and possibly the linen cupboard too, to put the steps there. I will post pictures and drawings. It will take me a while. Lots of things going on all at the same time. Thank you. |
Here is the linen closet I want to replace with a small and deep tub. It would stick out 12 inches. There are 59 inches between the bathroom wall and the shower wall at the extreme right of the photo. If that doesn't work, then the second option is to remove this one (of two) sinks. The counter is 23.5 inches wide and there are 36.5 inches between it and the shower |

Whey Proteins May Increase Insulin Secretion and Improve BG Control
Swedish researchers contend that adding dairy whey to meals with rapidly digested and absorbed carbohydrates stimulates insulin release and reduces after-meal blood glucose excursion.
According to the researchers, whey proteins stimulate and affect the production and activity of insulin and reduce after-meal blood glucose in healthy subjects. The aim of their study was to evaluate whether supplementing high glycemic index (GI) meals with whey proteins increases insulin secretion and improves blood glucose control in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
For the study, 14 diet-treated participants with type 2 were served a high-GI breakfast (white bread) and a high-GI lunch (mashed potatoes with meatballs). On one day, the breakfast and lunch meals were supplemented with whey.
"The insulin responses were higher after both breakfast (31 percent) and lunch (57 percent) when whey was included in the meal than when whey was not included," write the researchers.
—American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, July 2005
Food editor's note: Whey protein is one of two proteins found in cow's milk. In order to get the benefits of whey protein, a concentrated source is necessary, because milk contains only 1 percent whey protein. Whey protein is available in powder form that can be added to foods and drinks, and in powdered and liquid protein beverages such as smoothies. Whey protein is added to foods such as protein bars, meal replacement products and some desserts. The Whey Protein Institute provides complete information at their Web site, www.WheyOfLife.org.

That was enough to warrant a phone interview, after which Feinkind decided to hire him. "If he was pricing it the same as the other guys, I would have gone with one of them," Feinkind admits.
Such rock-bottom prices are de rigeur among freelancers in emerging economies such as Pakistan and Bangladesh. Feinkind has turned to Third World contractors for furniture blueprints, among other things. "Where I was paying $500 for factory drawings in the U.S., now I'm paying $50," he says. "For businesses, I think it's fantastic. I'm getting great work at a fraction of the cost [of American labor]."
Indeed, cheap digital labor may be the largest growth segment of the freelance market in coming years. There were 30 million knowledge workers globally in 2012, according to a McKinsey report issued this year on "disruptive technologies." The same report predicts there will be two to three billion more people with access to the internet by 2025.
Rosati says the trend toward contract work is accelerating, driven partly by the demographic calculus of global markets and partly by technology. "Technology is disaggregating the world of work much as iTunes did for music."
Which begs the question: Disaggregating it from what? The answer would seem to be salaries, health insurance, paid sick time, and other benefits, though also, more positively, cubicles, department staff meetings, rigid schedules, bad or ineffectual bosses and annoying coworkers.

So are Elance and other fractional-work platforms simply meeting, and capitalizing on, a need, or are they helping to drive the trend?
Because Elance connects businesses that need specialized help on projects with professionals who can do the work, "[it] is disruptive to staffing firms and agencies, not traditional employment," Rosati says. But the platform's claim to being a "global meritocracy" rings less true after speaking with freelancers and business owners who say that knowledge labor is turning into a commodity, with price often the No. 1 consideration.
In the future, other factors may further encourage outsourcing. In the U.S., a big one is Obamacare. Under the Affordable Care Act -- whose provisions affecting businesses are set to take effect in July 2014 -- a startup with at least 50 employees is required to provide health insurance coverage. There is a perception that this requirement will provoke companies to reduce some staff to part-time hours, or to rely on independent contractors rather than hiring more employees.
Feinkind is the only full-time employee of his company. For everything he can't or doesn't want to do himself, he says, he draws from a global network of freelancers "a la carte and as I need it."
Reluctant freelancers
Elance's annual report for 2013 is chock full of upbeat Elancer testimonials. But Rosati acknowledges that some freelancers "would prefer full-time employment if the right employment opportunity were available. For 'reluctant' freelancers, online fractional work is an important way to make money, meet potential employers and keep resumes current," he says.
One of those freelancers is Feinkind's own fiancée. "If she weren't living with me, she would not be able to survive doing Elance," he says. He has suggested that she "go local," maybe holding seminars to teach social-media marketing and other skills to business owners in her community, rather than trying to compete with Third World workers in a global market.
Despite seeing his fiancée's daily struggle to make a living, Feinkind continues to rely heavily on foreign contractors for his own business. He praises the outsourcing as saving both time and money, and justifies it by saying he can pass the savings on to his customers. "It's a great way to free up my time so I can concentrate on things that will really build my business that no one else can do," he says.
"A lot of the people that use Elance are looking for really inexpensive work, mostly hiring people from India," says McBride of her own attempts to find work through the platform. And then, too, the authors tend to be of lesser ability -- often self-published writers who are not looking for a full-time publicist even on a short-term basis, she says. Instead, about 90 percent of her clients have come from Twitter.
If you can find the right clients, freelancing does have its benefits, of course. In addition to the obvious -- a flexible schedule, the ability to work from home, low overhead and so on -- McBride says going into business for herself has taught her to take control of her personal finances. When she got paid as a full-time employee, "I would spend it all, because I knew that I would get another paycheck with that exact amount in another two week," she says. "Now I've learned to save a lot, because I don't know if all my clients will renew at the end of the month."
What's more, she estimates that if she can maintain 15 clients a month, she will be able to hire an assistant to help her handle the work load. And with a solid 20 clients a month, she could rent office space and turn her freelance lifestyle into a full-time business with a staff of her own.
For McBride, it's clear, freelancing is a way-station on the path to entrepreneurship. But even now, she prefers it to having a full-time job. I'm happier," she says. "I'm being challenged every day."

ISC2 published the 3rd edition of their CISSP CBK in late 2012. I ordered my copy in December 2012 and said, "So what's new in Legal?"
All quoted material in this article is from the "Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP® CBK Third Edition."
Generally, with respect to all the domains, ISC2 and the authors of the 3rd Edition have placed emphasis (by bolding, bullet-pointing, or indenting) on some of the material that was in the 2nd Edition. You can take that for what it is worth.
Here are the things that I found different in Legal, Regulations, Investigations and Compliance.
- Ethics has been move from Information Security Governance and Risk Management domain to this domain.
- A new section has been added on "Ensure security in contractual agreements and procurement processes (e.g. cloud computing, outsourcing, vendor governance)"
- New sections have also been added on "Import/Export" and "Trans-Border Data Flow"
- In the section on "Privacy" there is a bulleted list. The 6th bullet point is actually a new paragraph, but somehow it got a bullet instead. That's the one that starts reading "There should be a general policy…."
The seven principles from the Europe Directive on Data Protection have new titles and definitions. The text alludes to them being EU specific, however, what I found was that the material listed is actually the "Safe Harbor Privacy Principles" issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce on July 21, 2000 and in which DoC specifically states, "The Principles were developed in consultation with industry and the general public to facilitate trade and commerce between the United States and European Union. They are intended for use solely by U.S. organizations receiving personal data from the European Union for the purpose of qualifying for the safe harbor and the presumption of "adequacy" it creates.
Because the Principles were solely designed to serve this specific purpose, their adoption for other purposes may be inappropriate. The Principles cannot be used as a substitute for national provisions implementing the Directive that apply to the processing of personal data in the Member States." (SOURCE: http://export.gov/safeharbor/eu/eg_main_018475.asp )
- A new section entitled "Media Analysis" has been added which talks to the process of obtaining evidence from media.
- Still another new section in evidence entitled "Hardware/Embedded Device Analysis" has been added which talks to the analysis of mobile devices such as smart phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
The final new section entitled "Understand Compliance Requirements and Procedures includes sections on:
- Regulatory Environment
- Audits
As always, InfoSec is updating the courseware to reflect this new material and re-sequencing of the Legal, Regulations, Investigations, and Compliance domain.
InfoSec Institute's proprietary CISSP certification courseware materials are always up to date and synchronized with the latest ISC2 exam objectives. Our industry leading course curriculum combined with our award-winning CISSP training provided by expert instructors delivers the platform you need in order to pass the CISSP exam with flying colors.

Courses start again at IRSOO
The Vinci school of optics confirms educational courses for the new academic year
While work continues on expanding the IRSOO building for the addition of a new research center that will be part of the educational structure, the Vinci institute of optics is about to start the new academic year and has confirmed the educational courses that have always been a symbol of quality and innovation.
The Tuscan school announced that registration is still open for optics curriculum courses and optics courses for employed people. These are two courses for qualifying as professional opticians and the programs have been updated to meet a modern optician's needs for staying competitive on the market. Many aspects are handled and investigated: from laboratory work to sales, from constructing eyesight devices to customer care, from vision measuring to contact lenses application, in addition to a cultural basis aimed at completing the cycle of education connected with the specialization in optometry.
And for opticians and optometrists who wish to broaden their knowledge and professional skills, there are interesting proposals ranging from complete specialization courses in optometry to contactology and clinical optometry courses designed to meet the educational needs of employed people, to a series of refresher meetings on subjects that will certainly be of interest and relevance for eye care professionals.
All the educational courses are marked by their practical nature thanks to the numerous hours of hands-on training in small groups of participants. In this way, everyone acquires practical experience supported by widely available traditional and advanced equipment and tools.

By Automobile Magazine 11/4/2013
The 2014 Acura RDX is essentially unchanged for this year other than a new exterior paint color, Kona coffee, which replaces a shade known as amber brownstone...Read more
Acura's compact crossover RDX was completely redone for the 2013 model year, so the 2014 Acura RDX is essentially unchanged. Where Acura geared the previous-generation RDX more toward the sporty side of the crossover equation, the company has elected to keep thing simple with the current car, which feels like a smaller version of the MDX. Acura loads up the RDX with lots of standard equipment, including leather, heated seats, a moonroof, keyless entry, and a multi-angle rear camera, offering consumers a value proposition with a starting price of $35,415.
The 2014 Acura RDX is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine -- rated at 273 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque -- paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It marks a philosophical change for Acura, which ditched a turbocharged four-cylinder that made less power (240 hp) and slightly more torque (260 lb-ft) in favor of this normally aspirated six. The move goes against what has become a trend in the auto industry, namely downsizing engine options in advance of tightening CAFE standards. Acura can buck that trend because the RDX actually gets better fuel economy with the V-6, which achieves 20 mpg in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway in front-wheel guise. The all-wheel-drive model returns a respectable 19/27 mpg city/highway. In addition, the V-6 operates more smoothly than the peaky turbo four. The 2014 Acura RDX handles very well, and the ride is composed even on rough road surfaces.
The all-wheel option (Acura ditched its SH-AWD system in the RDX for a simpler part-time AWD system) is one of just two significant choices buyers must make, as Acura has not larded up the RDX with a long list of options. The only other real decision is whether to take the technology upgrade, which costs $3700 extra and adds navigation with voice recognition, a 60-gig hard drive, real-time traffic and weather updates, and HID headlights.
The cabin has room for five and can be trimmed in simple black or tan color schemes. The materials are a refreshing departure from the last RDX, whose interior was covered with dark, hard plastics across the instrument and door panels. Most of the plastic surfaces are made of nicely grained, soft-touch materials, and Acura dresses things up by inserting a sizable amount of leatherette-trimmed accents into the front and rear door panels. The rear cargo hold has ample room for suitcases and sporting goods. When the 60/40-split second row is folded, there is a cavernous 76.9 cubic feet of cargo space.

A General Theory of Visual Culture |
ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "This brilliant study addresses what the author rightly terms the 'urgent' question of art history's expansion into visual culture.' As penetrating in its theoretical analysis as it is wide-ranging in its historical scope, this is without doubt the most thoughtful and comprehensive work on the subject."--Stephen Bann, University of Bristol "Displaying the erudition of an extraordinarily well-read art historian and arguing with the lucidity of a classical analytic philosopher, Whitney Davis extends the grand intellectual tradition of Riegl, Wölfflin, and Panofsky, as commented on by Wittgenstein, Wollheim, and Danto. Davis's detailed and subtle analysis will provoke a lively and lasting debate."--David Carrier, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Institute of Art "Brilliant and original in conception and execution, this book succeeds triumphantly in its ambition to provide a general theory of visual culture. One has to go back to Gombrich's Art and Illusion, Panofsky's Meaning in the Visual Arts, or Wölfflin's Classic Art to find art historical writing of comparable ambition and success. Art history will never be the same again."--John Onians, author of Neuroarthistory "This fascinating book makes a remarkable contribution to the philosophy of art history. It contains brilliant analyses of some of the discipline's most deeply naturalized assumptions and will interest anyone who cares about its past, present, or future."--Keith Moxey, Barnard College, Columbia University File created: 11/10/2014 | |

Advisor Name Title Mr N Botes Committee Chair Prof B P Jekot Committee Co-Chair Prof K A Bakker Committee Member Keywords
- cinema
- multiplex
- technology
- digital cinema
- lighting
Date 2005-11-30 Availability unrestricted Abstract Where are cinemas going? Are they an evening out, a festive occasion, something of a 'luxury' when compared to the parallel availability of television? Are we looking at fewer cinemas, with more advanced technical standards, itself again a reflection of urban reorganization? Are cinemas changing to a means of education like the IMAX that shows a variety of documentary films? Or are cinemas going to fade out to make place for the comfort and ease of the cinema in your own living room?The goal of the project is to design a cinema centre that is original and offers the user a new and exciting experience. The cinema is based on the film and information technology industry especially new and future technological trends. The main focus, however, is the user's experience through the space and how it can be enhanced through the use of technology. The aim is to create a sense of voyeurism, which exemplifies the user's experience in the cinema auditorium and in the rest of the building by creating passing glipmses, which combine activity and object. The cinema centre will provide a space of invention, innovation and experience.

Ever since 1958, Red Coach Restaurant has been serving up a classic combo: juicy burgers and ice cream shakes. The restaurant was originally known as the Snack Bar; owners Bob and Jeanne Durkheimer changed the moniker when they relocated into the historic Charles F. Berg building, according to The Oregonian. They preserved the restaurant's original spirit, however, bringing along their original stainless steel kitchen appliances and 1920s-era cash register. The Durkheimers retired in 2008, passing the eatery along to their daughter Kim. Many regulars?some of whom first visited as children?still come by for lunch. Today, though, they bring along their own families.
Like the restaurant's family-friendly vibe, the beef that goes into its burgers is wholesome. It's hormone-free, and comes from cattle raised on Montana's open rangelands. Diners can also dig into garden burgers or sloppy joes paired with hard ice cream milkshakes and malts. High-backed vinyl booths offer enough privacy for diners to chat comfortably or sing songs about their social lives.
Like the chef behind it, the Blueplate reuben occupies two worlds. The house-seasoned ground beef and pork speak to Chef Reiter's fine-dining history, but the preparation—griddle-fried and loaded with sauerkraut, swiss, and russian spread—befits the classic American theme of this modernized 1950s lunch counter.
The exterior of Blue Moon Diner doubles as a lesson in classic Americana. A neon sign perches atop the polished chrome exterior of the long, low building, which evokes a nostalgia for the 1950s even before you step inside and see the silver-trimmed booths and covers of Life magazine hanging on the walls. The menu is another throwback to yesteryear with its diner-style burgers, rich milkshakes, and Cadillac-size breakfast plates.

THQ CEO Brian Farrell has told MCV that the publisher isn't intent on bringing down the pre-owned games market - because of its importance to consumers.
However, he said the market for used games is something punters, developers and publishers all have to have a say in.
"The most important thing is we have to participate in the value chain in used games," Farrell said. "We understand, given our focus on the gamer, that consumers like to be able to monetise their game library. So it is an ecosystem between publisher, gamer and retailer that just has to sort itself out."
THQ's strategy has been to adopt online pass codes, which ship with new copies of titles like Homefront and grant full access to online feature sets. Those who buy games second hand need to shell out to access all that's on offer multiplayer-wise.
"Part of it is monetising but the bigger win is keeping our gamers engaged with DLC and robust online play, and that keeps the disc in the first purchaser's hands," Farrell added.
THQ's creative director for wrestling games, Cory Ledesma, told CVG last year that "loyal fans" interested in buying games first-hand are more important than pre-owned buyers who 'cheat' developers.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo Electrical Problems
I've rented a monte carlo ls (I was told it was 2007). The rental agency lost the owner's manual. When I turn it on to drive, the dome light comes on & stays on. Anyone know how to turn it off? It turns off by itself about 10 minutes after I shut down the car. However driving with a dome light on is really annoying. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

slyss2000 Posts: 4I had similar issues with my 2000 SS. I dont recall the specifics on it, but the turn signal had something to do with the hazardous flasher switch on the dash. Something about a fuse in there or something. Its actually a common problem I found out so if you contact your dealer, they should have info on it. I learned this from my brother who works at a Pontiac dealership.
montecarlolove Posts: 2i have a 96 monte carlo , Ive had it nearly 2 years and love it , but within the past 6 months ive been having problems with it acting funny. At first it acted as though the alternator was going out, then the battery died, now im finding that the battery connections keep comming loose. has anyone else heard or noticed this problem? we also began to wonder if the ignition switch was going bad , because i would go to turn it over and it would hesitate for a few seconds and then try to turn over.
rvac99 Posts: 3Hello Monte Carlo owners. I'd like to share with you some problems I have had with my Monte. My AC and Cooling fans stopped working on a long trip to Florida. After $80 at the dealer they told me it was the PCM and it would have to be replaced and reprogrammed. I checked all the wires and have installed toggle switches that bypass the PCM and I can manually control the fans and AC. I asked a master mechanic online and he said if I could live with the switches that was the cheapest way to get around the problem. I get a trouble code for the cooling fans but I still got it inspected anyway (check engine light was on).
My car shifts hard when the fluid is warm and I notice bubbles in the fluid. Checked it because I thought it was low. The bubbles make it read high.
Also lost use of my heated seats and rear defroster. Working on those problems next. Probably have more toggle switches to install. Let me know if you have any insight on my problems and I'll do the same for yours. firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks. -
blue02ss Posts: 2I have a 2002 SS with 69K miles that I bought with 50K earlier this year. I recently started to have issues where the battery will go dead for no apparent reason (no interior lights on, etc.) I had the electrical system tested and the dealer found no parasitic drains. I've narrowed it down to when I drive it one day, the next day it will be dead (or the battery will be depleted enough that it won't be able to start). However if I put a battery charger on it and let it sit with a full charge, it can go up to a week and a half sitting without a problem, then will start right up. I've replaced the battery three times with different brands to no avail. Any thoughts?
dancermom4 Posts: 1I have a 2000 monte carlo and for some reason the headlights aren't working properly. They come on when i turn the car on and then after I drive for about ten minutes they shut off and then a few minutes goes by and they come back on. This is really annoying so if there is anyone who has any idea what the problem could be please help.

classicman Posts: 1Has this happened to anyone. Heater and a/c system out on our 2000 monte carlo LS. For several months now the heater would not work (no vent control no blower- completely dead), until the car had been started for several minutes. Then it would mysteriouly start working. The minutes became longer until the heater does not work at all. The cruise control and overhead console also follow the same pattern. Checked all fuses and relays associated with the problem 0k. On one occasion on a road trip the cruise control A/C heater was out for about 40 miles. I heard a relay close, sounded like it was behind the instrument panel and all began working. Please help. Thank You
ralph49 Posts: 52001 monte carlo ss same exact problem cruise control overhead console also goes out to. Do not hear relay close. If i keep fan motor on 3 or higher when i start it it works that a pain but at least it works. mecahic shop say they dont have the technology to diagnose tell me to take it to dealer . Thinking about changing control panel its $120.00.

candic80 Posts: 1My car hazard lights came on after taking my car into a mechanic to fix the cad converter. The mechanics couldnt figure out why they came on and it wont shut off (the switch is broke) so they took the whole plug out from under my dash and now my turning signals dont work. however, when I drove my car home and shut off car, the flashers started flashing again and now the flashers wont shut off.. and now my car wont start.There is a wierd buzzing noise that comes and goes under my column too now. Im furious and feel I shouldnt have to pay the mechanic the rest of the money i owe until this problem is resolved since I didnt have this problem before! Any suggestions as to why my car is doing this?
ralph49 Posts: 5Went to the mechanic today ( brother in-law) looked at wiring diagram it shows the cruise control is tied into the circuit to the heater/control panel going to replace control panel just ordered it today 120.00 see what happens been a problem for about 9 months hope it works keep you posted. THANKS
chevyone Posts: 2Ralph,
Stopped it by a good friends shop, just to verify; if it's the body control module (bcm) a new one can only be programmed by the dealer. Went by the dealer also, they said that it also could be in the ignition switch, the service rep said it could be the bcm as well but pushed more for the Ign Sw. My gut feeling and past experience if it was the switch when keyed to start and blower/cruise does not run/work they would continue to not run/work until the next time that the key was turned. My problems will stop and start intermittley while driving. It also does not run/work when first started. Also I have the info center for mileage and traveling direction (N, E, W & S) it also does other functions. I have noticed most times that the blower/cruise is not working it also goes out, but there has been times that it does continue to work. Are you seeing this also? Don't know if you have this option on your car. They would have to pull the codes for a cost of $89+. Don't know about you but I'm old school and like my 67 Chevy PU. I have been turning wenches along time and can fix anything on the truck. New is great as long as it is working but when it's not working on these new rides it can be costly. Please let me know if your fix works. My problems have also been acting up for almost a year now. Just a side note; always liked the name Ralph see I'm bias being my father carries this name. Thanks,
Chevy One -
