On behalf of Turlock Together and the Turlock Salvation Army, I wish to thank all of the volunteers and donors who so generously contributed time, money, foodstuffs, drinks, linens and other materials that once again helped make this year's free Christmas dinner such a special day for more than 1,000 of our community's less fortunate and lonely.
Once again Mr. and Mrs. Claus left the North Pole to hand out many of the toys that the wonderful people of Turlock donated this year through the Post Office. (Without) you, many of our less fortunate children in the community would have gone without a toy this Christmas.
My family and I attended the Turlock Christmas parade. This is an annual event for us and we usually enjoy it to the fullest. This year was quite the opposite when the Stanislaus State cheerleaders came parading by with their behinds hanging out. This was very inappropriate and offensive to us and many others.
I find it odd that out of all the employees at the Turlock Raley's only five employees felt the need to honor the picket line. In talking to the employees who have decided to stay with Raley's and keep doing their jobs all have said that their wages and benefits are very fair. Everyone that I talked to was disheartened that the union refused to let them vote on the proposed settlement offered by Raley's management.
On Oct. 8, 2012, The Turlock Garden Club wrote a letter to the Turlock Downtown Property Owners Association informing them the Turlock Garden Club could no longer continue to plant and care for the Turlock downtown flower pots.
I have lived in Stanislaus County for about 65 years. I know many residents of Turlock and most of us pay property tax in the mid to high 1,000s because we were thought to have back bone and to work and save and respect our country.
It was quite a surprise when we started getting a lot of kids coming in our (downtown) store looking for their Halloween candy. We were told by the city that there was not going to be anything going on this year. It seems that the powers of city hall don't want to keep the shops informed. I guess we don't count.
Is congressional candidate Jose Hernandez's support of the $96 billion high-speed rail boondoggle a sign that he doesn't grasp that California and Washington are both derailing the economy through deficit spending? Consultants alone have cost upwards of $12 million. Potential private investors consider the project too risky.
Are we going to allow the two largest contributors to the No on 37 campaign, Monsanto and Dupont - who told us Agent Orange and DDT are safe - convince us that we don't have a right to know what they're doing to our food?
In the last week alone Californians have seen gas prices skyrocket to a state-wide average of $4.67 per gallon - a state record and currently the highest in the nation. Problems with pipelines and a power outage at one of the state's few remaining refineries exacerbated already tight fuel supplies causing the spike. But why has California's ability to meet the demand for gasoline - something needed by virtually every mom driving her kids to school, commuting worker, or small business owner - diminished to a point that has left California motorists extremely vulnerable to supply disruptions? These recent events ...
Fifty years ago this week, the world woke up to a crisis that brought the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of a cataclysmic nuclear war.
According to dictionary.com a popular definition of sequestration is removal or separation. Although the term sequestration is being bandied about in relation to massive defense cuts that threaten our nation's military readiness, I prefer the term "divorce," because that is exactly what our elected leaders are doing with the Constitution that they have sworn to uphold.
Several weeks ago, we decided to show support for the presidential candidate of our choice by placing a yard sign in our front yard. The night before last, someone tagged it by spray painting a red circle with a line through it on both sides of the sign. We decided we would keep the sign to show that this act of vandalism would not deter us from showing our support.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the site and pretty new to gardening, but I love having a sunroom and I've gone completely insane with plants!
With that being said I have a few questions about the best way to care for some of the plants that I have. I've posted a few pics so you guys can get an idea of what I'm talking about. My first question is about jalapeno peppers. I started six from seed and they are growing really nicely right now. My only concern is that when they get older and bigger, they will not like being in the long pot that I have them all in (see pic) and will be hard to repot because all their roots will be growing into each other. Should I repot them now, or will they do fine where they are? I also have a dwarf meyer lemon tree that I ordered online. It's grown quite a bit since I bought it, but some if its leaves are kinda yellow and a few have holes in them ( I also put pics of this up). Any idea what this could be? Also, is it essential that I fertilize it and if so, what type of fertilizer should I use? The other two plants that I put pics of are two more exotic plants that I ordered online. The tall one in the black pot is an Angels Trumpet and the one in the white ceramic pot is a princess flower. If anyone has any tips on how to keep these happy and possibly bloom faster, I'd appreciate the help! |

Also forgot to ask, is a ceramic pot a good pot to use for the lemon tree, and when should I expect them to start producing? |
Sunroom, Welcome to the forums:) I'm not sure about some of your questions, but I believe you should repot those peppers now. Check out the link below, it is from one of the geniuses on this forum, and you will learn a ton about container growing from his posts. Fertilizing in containers is an absolute requirement, and there is a link at the bottom of the post I am linking where he goes in to fertilizing in detail. Good luck with your container garden :) |

Sunroom; just wondering - why do you want to keep plants inside? |
- Posted by TheSunRoomGardener none (My Page) on Thu, Jun 28, 12 at 12:12
Well I'm a little nervous about putting them outside because I'm a college student in a college town and I would worry about someone stealing them. They are going to be outside for two months though while I'm in Massachusetts at a job living in a place a bit more safe for outdoor container plants. But now I'm concerned about the trip there and back. I know Meyer lemons don't like being moved around too much so I'm worried about the four hour drive to get there. Does anyone know if angels trumpet, princess flowers or orchids also don't do well with long moves? Everything is so happy right now, I want to keep them that way! |

Hello! I was given this used guzmania last December (in the same condition as photo above) and it came with LOTS of little tiny bugs that I haven't been able to get rid of with standard indoor houseplant insecticide, and it has neither been growing OR dying. I water it about twice a week and it s kept facing a south window. 1) How do I get rid of the bugs? A website suggested that I "wash" the plant in mild soapy water and completely repot it, but I don't know what kind of mixes are compatible and how to wash the plant without hurting it. And I'm not sure what kind of bugs they are, they pretty much look like fruit flies without wings, they crawl around really fast, and I haven't really seen them on the leaves but they love hanging around the base and in the potting mix. 2) Is this plant even salvageable judging by the looks of it? |

Pull the plant out of the pot as the soil is far too wet. Pull the pups off the old mother plant and pull all the old leaves from around the bottom of them. Repot into new soil and only water when it begins to dry out. You can mist a couple of times a week. Make sure your potting mix is free draining. |

I just got rid of TruGreen (who by the way I would never recommend to anybody, utterly incompetent and a rip-off) and now plan to do the year round lawn care myself.
I have Bermuda which is dormant right now. This year I was hoping to use Lesco products but given the large variety of products they have - I am confused as to what to apply and when? For example I know I need pre-emergent now but not sure which one from Lesco. Does anyone have a chart/table of what fertilizer/pre-emergents they use for year round lawn care? Didn't find anything on Lesco's website. Thanks! |

Well you are not going to find a chart or table on Lesco. It is for professionals, so they assume you know what you are doing, and what you want. With that said Lesco could use a website makeover to make it little more user friendly. OK my advice is go to the Lesco dealer and buy everything need for one season, and here is my list and application schedule Lesco 069118 or 080384. Dimension pre-emergence 0-0-7 Buy enough for two applications, so that depends on the size of your yard, and which one of the products you choose. If the weather holds it is time to put down an application now, but me thinks it is too early and we will have another cold snap. Apply second application 8 weeks later, but make sure it is in between fertilizer application. Learn what Forsythias are, and watch them once you see them in full bloom and start turning green is the perfect time to apply your first application. That has not happened yet in my area of Texas just north of DFW area. Lesco 081964, 15-5-10 25% PPSCU 2% FE Buy enough for one application only. All the numbers means is 15-5-10 ratio fertilizer, 25% slow release Poly Plus Sulfur Coated Urea, with 2% iron. Apply it when you see the Bermuda about 50 to 75 % greened up. Just make sure you use it at least 2 weeks or more after you apply the first Dimension application listed above. Lesco 000777 39-0-0 100% PPSCU. Buy enough for 4 or 5 applications. Apply 4 weeks after you apply the 20-15-10 product and repeat every 30 to 45 days with the last application 1 month before your first frost. Make sure it has been at least 2 weeks after your second application of Dimension. |

nitslu, it has been some years since I worked at a "LESCO" store; in those days there was a calendar, aimed at the professional; but we would work with any customer in his particular situation. My colleague and I made many trips outside of store hours to do an evaluation of a homeowner's lawn. You can probably get a good calendar going if you time your enquiries for when the shop is not busy and if you commit to purchasing from the store. Also, do not believe that "LESCO" branded fertilizer at "Home Depot" or other is the same as that sold at "LESCO" itself. I really do not know how much has changed since "John Deere" bought them out. |

What happened with TruGreen? What did they do? I see a lot of them in my neighborhood. What I've observed is that they are very sloppy! I'm afraid one day that when they use weedkiller on very windy day that get blown onto my yard causing damage everywhere. They don't care about quality. Just making as much profit as possible. |
- Posted by denverdude CO (My Page) on Mon, Feb 23, 09 at 21:41
I don't understand why you would apply a preemergent only and then two weeks later apply just a fertilizer when you can buy a good fertilizer, such as a 19-0-6 that has a preemergent on it as well. 2 birds with one stone. I agree that a high amount of slow release nitrogen during the year is a great idea for bermuda due to its aggressive growth. If you use a product with quickly available nitrogen, you will be mowing much more frequently. The 39-0-0 is a great option. Many of the Lesco guys have 5, 6, or 7 step programs that they hand out as a guide that you can follow for the year as well. |
I guess if you wanted to use Lesco solely, go to this site, change the zip and go from there. See below. |

September 19, 2014: Politico's Morning Education announces:
CHILD POVERTY IMPROVES, BUT 1 IN 5 STILL POOR: The U.S. Census Bureau released data Tuesday on income and poverty in 2013. Advocates are pleased because there was a larger than anticipated decline in the overall child poverty rate, which fell from about 22% in 2012 to 20% in 2013.
"We've come back from the depths of the recession, but it's still very high," Hannah Matthews, director of the Child Care and Early Education team at CLASP, told Morning Education.
Families' circumstances have improved, but not evenly across the board. Poverty rates fell for white and Hispanic children, but increased slightly for black children. More than two thirds of children living in poverty have a parent that works and 30% have a parent that works year-round. The data: http://1.usa.gov/1m8g3KC More info from CLASP:http://bit.ly/1mckqE2
From today's New York Times:
...Over all, the [Census Bureau] bureau said, 14.5% of Americans were living in poverty last year, down from 15% in 2012.
Charles T. Nelson, a Census Bureau official, said the decline in the poverty rate resulted partly from an increase in the number of people working full time year-round. In particular, he said, the numbers show an increase in employment and earnings for parents with dependent children...
The bureau estimated that 45.3 million people were living below the poverty level in 2013. This was not a statistically significant change from the estimate for 2012, the bureau said in its annual report on income and poverty.
Poverty thresholds vary with the size and composition of a family. A family of four was classified as poor if its income was less than $23,830 last year...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Pool 2 -- Carney gaggle
Jay Carney briefed during the flight to Dallas. He began by reading an
excerpt of the speech the president will give at the community college
today, in which he responds to Eric Cantor's remarks about the jobs act of
"He won't even give it a vote . . . Well, I'd like Mr. Cantor to come down
here to Dallas and explain what in this jobs bill he doesn't believe in .
. . (roads and bridges, tax breaks small biz, benefits for veterans) Mr.
Cantor should come down to Dallas, look Kim Russell in the eye and tell
her why she doesn't deserve to have a paycheck ... If you won't do that,
at least put this jobs bill up for a vote . . . (so everyone knows where
you stand and where the other members stand.)
This speech will then go on to focus on teacher layoffs, Carney said.
Gaggle highlights:
*Obama wants to see a vote on the whole act, but has said he will then
sign provisions "piece by piece" if that's how it comes to him.
*Carney says he doesn't know whose congressional district the president is
visiting in Dallas and that that's not the point. "He's going all over the
country taking his message to the American people"
*Says the president doesn't regret saying yesterday in the ABC intvu that
Americans aren't better off ... It would be wrong to say the hole created
by that recession is not very deep ... or that we'll emerge from it
*why four fundraisers on this trip? Over the summer "we had to cancel a
number of campaign events ... we'll do those at a certain pace that's

On page 565 Glucosamine, N-acetyl (NAG) has a different value as the page 572 NAG. Are they 2 different products?
No, it's the same product. All the usages listed are valid for N-acetyl Glucosamine, also known as NAG.
Related Topics: Where can I find the most up-to-date values?In the Blood Type Encyclopedia, on page 488 at the bottom of the page on the left, it lists Co Enzyme Q10: 3 mg.

I am looking for advice on the following varieties: Trifecta, Fantasy Island, Tropical Storm & Little Sunspot. The nurseries don't tend to get a lot of the smaller varieties (or they sell out quickly) but I have found these ones. Are they all fantastic and I should have all four?
I have Maui Buttercups and Rainforest Sunrise - so I thought Tropical Storm would be a good addition to make it a trio. My only issue is that I think I got the only plant that did not have some eyes that were reverting to all chartreuse. Is TS not stable? Trifecta has beautiful leaves. Judging by some of the photos, it looks like it will get lighter as the season progresses. Does it look as good in your garden later in the season? If not, can I prevent it from changing colour by putting it in lower light? Little Sunspot is the most vigorous in the pot, although all four are a nice size. It reminds me of Rainforest Sunrise but I think that it will be taller and have more green. And finally, Fantasy Island... if you love this plant and I would be a fool not to have it, please tell me now. This is the one closest to being stroked off of the list. Thanks in advance for your help. Connie May |

Of the 4,I have only grown Fantasy Island,and Little Sunspot. Little Sunspot is a vigorous grower and always looks cheerful. Fastasy Island grew well for awhile,but this year has almost disappeared. I would not recommend it. Just MHO,you understand. Phil,in NC. |
Thank you hosta freak. Unless it looks as gorgeous as GE I'm not really interested in having to baby it. Connie May |

I was looking at the list of nurseries which give the new member $15 off for joining American Hosta Society. One of them is in NH, and it is Mason Hollow. Check them out. I think I saw a good many of the small guys, which were out of stock in other places. One that I ordered was Little Jay PPAF. And then I also got White Dove (I call my house White Dove so it was a personal thing). Some of their plants are also available in one- and two-gallon sizes. |
I have no problem recommending 'Little Sunspot'. Great hosta. I planted 'Fantasy Island' last summer because I had heard it was an improvement on 'Island Charm'. I love IC and reserve my opinion on FI until it has unfurled and survived in my garden this year. Last year it was a slug magnet. This year I applied the ammonia drench and we will see the results, hopefully good. I wish it were easier to post pictures on this website. I think there would be more forthcoming. |

The Rapper: Pharrell
The Lyrics: "Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat/That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat," on Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot"
Our Reaction: The beat on this song was so good that most people didn't even pay attention to what Pharrell was saying on it. But if you did, you were grossed out.

Health and education are strongly connected: healthy children achieve better results at school, which in turn are associated with improved health later in life. This relationship between health and education forms the basis of the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Health Promoting Schools (HPS) framework, an approach to promoting health in schools that addresses the whole school environment. Although the HPS framework is used in many schools, we currently do not know if it is effective. This review aimed to assess whether the HPS framework can improve students' health and well-being and their performance at school.
Study characteristics
We searched 20 health, education, and social science databases, as well as trials registries and relevant websites, for cluster-randomised controlled trials of school-based interventions aiming to improve the health of young people aged four to 18 years. We only included trials of programmes that addressed all three points in the HPS framework: including health education in the curriculum; changing the school's social or physical environment, or both; and involving students' families or the local community, or both.
Key results
We found 67 trials, comprising 1345 schools and 98 districts, that fulfilled our criteria. These focused on a wide range of health topics, including physical activity, nutrition, substance use (tobacco, alcohol, and drugs), bullying, violence, mental health, sexual health, hand-washing, cycle-helmet use, sun protection, eating disorders, and oral health. For each study, two review authors independently extracted relevant data and assessed the risk of the study being biased. We grouped together studies according to the health topic(s) they focused on.
We found that interventions using the HPS approach were able to reduce students' body mass index (BMI), increase physical activity and fitness levels, improve fruit and vegetable consumption, decrease cigarette use, and reduce reports of being bullied. However, we found little evidence of an effect on BMI when age and gender were taken into account (zBMI), and no evidence of effectiveness on fat intake, alcohol and drug use, mental health, violence, and bullying others. We did not have enough data to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the HPS approach for sexual health, hand-washing, cycle-helmet use, eating disorders, sun protection, oral health or academic outcomes. Few studies discussed whether the health promotion activities, or the collection of data relating to these, could have caused any harm to the students involved.
Quality of the evidence
Overall, the quality of evidence was low to moderate. We identified some problems with the way studies were conducted, which may have introduced bias, including many studies relying on students' accounts of their own behaviours (rather than these being measured objectively) and high numbers of students dropping out of studies. These problems, and the small number of studies included in our analysis, limit our ability to draw clear conclusions about the effectiveness of the HPS framework in general.
Overall, we found some evidence to suggest the HPS approach can produce improvements in certain areas of health, but there are not enough data to draw conclusions about its effectiveness for others. We need more studies to find out if this approach can improve other aspects of health and how students perform at school.

TICONDEROGA — A rare musket that may have been used at Fort Ticonderoga is now part of the historic landmark's collection.
The Wilson musket was donated to the fort by an anonymous benefactor, fort officials said.
"The donation of this Wilson musket fills an important and longstanding gap in the collection," Fort Ticonderoga Curator of Collections Christopher Fox said in a press release. "It is a type we know was used by troops who served at the fort."
The Wilson musket will be shown this season in the museum's exhibit "Bullets and Blades: The Weapons of America's Colonial Wars and Revolution."
That display, featuring more than 150 weapons, tells the story of the use of military and civilian weapons in America during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Fort Ticonderoga's collection of 18th-century military objects is celebrated as one of the best of its type in the world, Fox said.
During the French and Indian War in the 1700s, London gun maker Richard Wilson produced muskets to arm the militias of several American colonies, including New York, New Jersey and probably Massachusetts.
"Though they bear similarities to muskets produced for the British army, the weapons produced by Richard Wilson are not army muskets; they are commercial or contract muskets," Fox said.
"Their brass parts, stocks and barrels resemble British army guns but are simpler and lighter overall. Of the estimated 4,000 contract weapons that may have been produced by Wilson, only a handful has survived through today."
In 1758, British General James Abercromby was preparing his 17,000-man army for what became a disastrous attack on the French lines, he had considerable difficulty obtaining enough weapons to arm his troops. Among those he was eventually able to acquire were 1,000 muskets owned by the City of New York.
"These weapons had originally been purchased by the city from Richard Wilson in 1755," Fox said. "While it is not known with absolute certainty, it is thought that at least some of those weapons were issued to New York Provincial troops. Many of those troops took part in the battle before the French lines on July 8."
It is certain many of Wilson's muskets were used at Ticonderoga, as numerous brass pieces of the guns have been recovered on the site during various periods of reconstruction, he said.
Fort Ticonderoga opens for the season on May 17 and will be open daily through Oct. 20.

Philip Weiss has written a powerful blog article today exposing the agenda of a broad coalition of Jewishoups from J Street to the David Project defending the illegal Jewish Colonies in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
A coalition of nearly 20 Jewish groups, ranging from the right-wing David Project and the Jewish National Fund to the liberal J Street, is distributing a misleading statement condemning a Student Senate bill at UC Berkeley. The ground-breaking bill calls for divestment from companies that profit from the perpetuation of the Israeli military occupation in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and Gaza. They refer to the bill as "dishonest" and "misleading" and "based on contested allegations."
Yet it is their letter that is both dishonest and misleading.
The bill, available here, is based on extensive, footnoted research.
Yet this coalition of Jewish groups does not contest any of the facts. Without offering any evidence, they dismiss findings by reputable organizations like the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International. Instead of condemning these human rights violations, they prefer to misinform the public by suggesting that it is somehow wrong to "take sides" against universally recognized injustice. In so doing, they effectively defend illegal Israeli settlements and the Israeli military occupation that continues to disrupt everyday features of Palestinian life: education, health care, economic life, and art and culture.

I'm still new to color but so many people remarked that they didn't like the rusty look. I guess there is just too much of it around. No I did not make the fish. It was originally sold as a CD (or DVD) holder but I like it "as is". Can't win 'em all. |

CNNMoney.com reports that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke both acknowledged problems with the U.S. economy but that the recent series of interest rate cuts and the forthcoming economic-stimulus tax rebates will keep the economy out of a recession this year.
We can only hope.
One Response to "No Recession According to Treasury and Fed Heads"
I am very annoyed to hear this rhetoric coming from the hill. Today, Bush actually had the audacity to claim that we weren't in a recession…nevermind the fact that both gas and food prices are rising faster than they have in a decade and last month there were more jobs lost since the 70's. Never mind the sinking dollar worldwide.
I am not a doom and gloom kind of person but it makes me angry to think that Washington tries to sweep things under the rug and pretend that there isn't a problem.

"My daughter is the first in my family to graduate from university. She worked so hard, and did so well. When we go up to the city to see her convocation, we want to make the day special with just the right graduation gift. It has to be just perfect…"
The endurance and perfection of pearls make them an ideal graduation gift. Grown for years, cherished for centuries, pearls celebrate achievement and commemorate success with quiet beauty and classic elegance. Whether you choose an entire matched set or a simple bracelet, your graduation gift will be a lovely reminder and cherished treasure for years to come.
"I remember when I graduated, my father was so proud. He gave me a set of pearls as a gift on graduation day, and I wore them again on my wedding day. They represented all the years of hard work, and the shining rewards of the years to come. I can't wait to carry on the family tradition this spring when my son graduates because the new Tahitian cufflinks will be perfect."
A quality set of pearl jewelry is an investment in your graduate that acknowledges their accomplishment and sets the tone for their future endeavors. Pearls are a special way to mark graduation with sophistication and style. Rare and beautiful, they are formed slowly and carefully for years, making them a time-honored gift to celebrate hard-earned achievement. More appropriate than flowers that wilt or a monetary gift, pearls are versatile enough to be worn for any occasion, and valuable enough to be passed on to future generations.
For her, the choice is a timeless 3-piece white Akoya pearl set, including an 18-inch necklace, 7-inch bracelet and 7.5mm stud earrings. With solid 14K gold clasps and studs, this classic AA+ set is only $700.00, and is available with silver or rose overtones. Nothing could be more perfect for her graduation day. For him, choose between the classic white Akoya pearl cufflinks from $220.00, or sleek black Tahitian pearl cufflinks starting at $350.00. They give your new grad style and sophistication, and are an essential accessory he'll use for years to come.
All of the stunning choices at Pure Pearls come with a GIA-certified appraisal, and are shipped free of charge. Whatever your choice, you can be certain your gift will be the right one with our 90-day unconditional return policy. The quality of our pearls is surpassed only by their beauty, and our low prices make it possible for you to get exactly the graduation gift you envision.
There are few gifts as elegant as pearls—classic, shining celebrations of years of hard work and success. Celebrate and congratulate your graduate with a timeless gift of pearl jewelry they can cherish forever.

Channel 6 News - Search Results
Large addition open at AMC
ALBANY -- Called the largest expansion of a medical facility in the Northeast, Albany Medical Center officially opened its new Patient Pavilion today. It's a $360 million project making the hospital one of the most high-tech health facilities in the region.
You've likely watched it go up along New Scotland Avenue over the last two years, especially if you're one of the 1,000 new employees who will work there. Inpatient admissions to Albany Med have increased 42% -- transfers, 350%. Though some hospitals will likely try to keep patients out of hospitals because of consequences with health care reform, Albany Med expects to continue growing past this jump ahead.
Lynn Spilman walks us through the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in AMC's Patient Pavilion. Where six patients now occupy a room of a certain size in the old part of the hospital, one little patient will have a room equivalent to that whole space. That includes room for families, and it's input staff provided in the nearly ten-year planning phase.
"We were able to determine how our patient space would be divided, what types of things we would be on our patient headwalls for the equipment," said Spilman, a neonatal nurse practitioner at Albany Med.
Spilman will even be able to check monitoring devices in a patient's room from her phone when the unit moves to the new building in October. Brand-new operating rooms downstairs with robotic technology and imaging software are designed to be less invasive for patients and helpful to the medical team.
"Everyone in the room will be able to see on the TV cameras what's going on in the operative wound," said Dr. Steven Frisch, hospital director. "That's going to be a lot safer for patients."
That includes a better lesson for students.
"When we're learning from a textbook and whatnot it's two-dimensional," said Dr. Edward Lee, Chief of the Division of General Surgery. "To go from two-dimensional to three-dimensional it's a leap. Now with medical students you could learn that as 3D from the get-go."
This building adds over 80 beds when Albany Med often finds itself at full capacity, crunching to find space for patients.
"That is beyond not ideal, it's not often safe," said James Barba, Albany Med CEO. "We simply decided that we had to do better to meet the demand."
The building is brighter, it includes gardens -- to better the experience of patients and families. Three million people in some way touch Albany Med's network, Mr. Barba says.
The Patient Pavilion opening comes as neighbors in the Park South neighborhood of Albany learn about a larger expansion plan with Albany Med and several private partners, which includes the construction of some 250 apartments, retail and office space in the neighborhood. It calls for the demolition of 37 homes, and the relocation of families that live in them.

The technical and professional communication (TPC) major prepares students for positions as writers, editors, page layout designers, and web designers in a variety of industries. The major involves 57 semester hours in specific technical communication courses.
The TPC program was founded by Professor Sandi Harner in 1985 as a minor called professional writing in the Language and Literature department. In 1992, professional writing became a major, and in 1999, the name was changed to technical and professional communication. Most recently in 2011, the major moved to the Media & Applied Communications department, joining majors such as journalism, broadcasting & digital media, and applied communication concentrations.
Use the links on the left to navigate through the many features and courses of the TPC program. Along with official descriptions of each course, you will also read what current students have to say about the program and how TPC has helped to shape their academic and professional lives.

So, I hope it's ok I start this thread. I'd like to be able to share my experience doing my first ever College Program at WDW. I hope to share stories and pics and info that might be useful for future CP's or interesting to whoever might be interested.
I've only been to WDW twice - for the Millennium Celebration in 2000 and then in 2005. (Also went to Dland last year.) So, I plan on making lots of discoveries and touring Disney as if I were a newbie, thanks to the amazing info I get here on the forums and from the podcast. I can't wait to hunt for hidden mickeys, be audio-guided by Lou, and just be able to enjoy being at the Happiest Place on Earth for 5 months. :yahoo::mickeykid :thumbs::giggle::mickeywav
I am leaving Minnesota this Wednesday (Aug 3rd) around 5am and going to make the 14-hour drive to Texas to visit family, go shopping, see doctors, etc. Then, on the 8th, I'll be driving to FL with my mom and little sister. Then my official start date is August 10th and I can't even explain my excitement!
Any advice you'd be willing to offer would be greatly appreciated as I'm both new to CP and fairly new to WDW. I plan on doing extensive blogs and vlogs once I get settled in, but I'd like to share here as I feel more comfortable w/ my Disney Mania in this environment. :grin:
Thanks for letting me share and I can't wait to hopefully meet some of you at the World! :yahoo:

We are replacing all the original doublehung windows in our 1926 home with either Pella Architect or Anderson Woodwright windows (new construction method, not replacement). Need to make a decision today and having trouble deciding. Both seem like sound windows, Pella has an aluminum exterior, Anderson has the fibrex (any thoughts on the difference?). Initially Marvin products were an option but they are not under consideration due to a process of elimanation (they didn't have some of the features we wanted) so it is between these two. The Pellas are about 15% more. Any experience or thoughts on these products or companies (customer service, etc.)? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
From a customer service and product quality I'd rank Marvin the highest then Anderson. I would not even consider Pella as an option. Just look around here a little and I bet you will come to the same conclusion. |

Love these
Pros: air circulation, gel pads, fit
Cons: none
Great gloves - they protect well and are very cool on even the hottest days. Good grip as well.
Pros: air circulation, gel pads, fit
Cons: none
Great gloves - they protect well and are very cool on even the hottest days. Good grip as well.
Pros: everything a glove should do
Cons: velcro causes shorts to get ripped up
These are great gloves and in fact I bought the long finger pair rather than the short.
I hardly use them now considering that they are ripped up and the gel piece fell off after a crash.
These gloves saved my palms from one killer road rash.
The only two issues I've had included the the placement of the velcro. Traditionally the velcro would be on the top but however, placing it inside the wrist caused some of my shorts to fray.
The other issue (which honestly isn't an issue) is that the circle vents around the thumb area actually cause circular tans. It looked kinda funny... So if you are out with these gloves in the sun a lot, it may leave a progressive circular pattern/tan on that area. Not really a problem like I said. But overall a very good glove.
Pros: gel pad
Cons: none
I just bought my second pair fo these gloves and love them. My last pair lasted three years of road and dirt riding. The gel pad makes these so comfy.
Pros: GEL DAMPENS OUT ROAD VIBRATIONS
Cons: PRICE
I bought these gloves in the fall of 09 after I ruined another pair of gloves in a wreck. These gloves were recommended to me by a friend when it was discovered that I had a stress fracture in my wrist. Being $40 I normally would not have even looked at them had it not been for my injury but after using them for a year now I'm glad I picked them up.
After one years worth of use I've noticed that the glove is not as snug around my hand as it use to be. I'm not sure if that's due to weight loss, a few too many times through the washing machine or simple wear and tear, but I've noticed now without the snug fit that my hands tend to get sore and wear out on longer rides.

GM's Solution to Recall: Just Buy a New Car
Let's say you bought a car only to find out later it has a defect that could potentially kill you.
Would your first response be heading to your nearest dealer and buying a new version of the same brand to replace your defective car?
Of course not. That's a silly question, right? Most people would simply want the car fixed, if possible. Others might have a more extreme response and sue the carmaker in question and vow to never own said brand again.
General Motors is still in the middle of its ignition recall and has made those affected by it a very strange offer.

The loudest one in the room isn't always the weakest in the room. Alot of times the loudest in the room is the most confident. Confidence is everything and without it nothing would get accomplished. No stage performance would get done, no song would get recorded, and no fashion show or movie would be seen. It may seem natural because the confident have been confident for a long time but confidence takes courage. Because for every one person who has the confidence to stand on stage in front of 1000 people there may be 100 who will try to tear them down because they don't have the courage to do what they do.
I'm not thinking in a negative way, I'm just thinking in a realistic way. I'm naturally a confident person. I've been like this for years so I know what people try to do to confident people. They'll blog, they'll tweet , they'll talk and they will whisper but it's all done behind closed doors, because they don't have the confidence to be or do what they want to do, because they are afraid of what others may think of them. Confident people don't have that problem. Confident people understand the concept of free will. I'm not bashing people who don't have confidence, I'm just saying that people shouldn't hate on the confident, people should love the confident because they are here to show them how it should be done.
