Salvage title
In North America, a salvage title is a form of vehicle title branding, which notes that the vehicle has been damaged and/or deemed a total loss by an insurance company that paid a claim on it. The criteria for determining when a salvage title is issued differ considerably by each state, province or territory. In a minority of states and Canadian provinces, regulations require a salvage title for stolen or vandalized vehicles which are not recovered by police within 21 days. In such cases insurance companies declare a vehicle total loss and pay off the previous owner;[1] but, in others, it is issued only for losses due to damage. Under some circumstances, a salvage title denotation may be removed or replaced with a Rebuilt Salvage designation;[2] and cars imported to, or exported from, the United States may be issued a clean title regardless of history.
Because a salvage title can be issued to a vehicle with easily repairable problems or no damage whatsoever, the low cost of the salvaged motorcycle or car is appealing to some hobbyists and investors. Experts recommend caution when purchasing a salvaged vehicle, because there may be hidden damage,[3] which, if unrepairable, may render the vehicle a "pile of parts."[4]
Determination of salvage status[edit]
In general, a vehicle is deemed "salvage" when the insurer determines that the repair or replacement cost is in excess of approximately 70% of its market value at the time of the accident or theft.[1][5] Thresholds range between 50% and 95% of the vehicle's value, while "total loss states" leave the specifics to the insurer. In the state of Michigan, the issuance of a salvage title does not mean that the vehicle is also deemed a total loss.[5] Michigan issues a salvage title when the damage equals 75-90% of the pre-damage value; if the loss is 91% or greater the vehicle is eligible only for a "scrap" title, which cannot be subsequently upgraded by any means.[6]
Upon paying the claim, the insurer may offer to return the vehicle to the owner as an insurance buy-back, in which case the owner is responsible for having the repairs made and having the car inspected by a State-designated facility. Depending on the state, this inspection may remove the salvage brand from the vehicle's title.[7] The exact percentage of value that triggers the decision to total the vehicle is guided by applicable laws and regulations. The damage estimate is calculated at retail repair rates, which may be more than the cost of wholesale repair. Vehicles that are not bought back are auctioned as salvage to an auto recycler or a rebuilder and given a salvage title.
Resale value of vehicles with a salvage title[edit]
Vehicles which carry a salvage title may not be registered and driven on public roads in most states,[8] which impacts resale value.[7] Rebranding of the title is not permitted without having an inspection to verify that they meet all safety standards.[9] The inspection procedure may be complex,[4] and attempts to illegally circumvent the inspections are periodically reported.[10]
Industry standards followed by the National Automobile Dealers Association Appraisal Guides, Kelley Blue Book Market Report Official Guide, and the International Society of Automotive Appraisers devalue a motor vehicle that has a salvage title. Kelley Blue Book automatically rates any salvage vehicle as "poor" and does not value it at all.[11] The value of a vehicle with a salvaged title is usually 40-50% lower than the vehicle's estimated value. These cars cannot be registered or operated on public roads or highways.
If the vehicle is rebuilt to a road worthy condition and has passed State inspection the difference in price is 35-50% of fair KBB. These cars have "rebuild" or "rebuild salvage" annotation in the title and can be registered and operated just like a new car.
Cars that previously had "junk" title and were restored to road worthy condition get new title and new VIN after state inspection. New VIN will not match any other VIN numbers on the vehicle doors or panels. Year of the vehicle is determined by title issue date. These are considered to be self assembled cars.
Title washing refers to transferring a vehicle's registration for the express purpose of removing a title brand.[12] The practice is legal, and practiced by the insurance companies themselves.[13] Title brands such as "salvage," "junk," and "rebuilt" are not standardized, and a vehicle which has such a designation may receive a clean title when registered in a different jurisdiction. Further, vehicles imported to or exported from the United States and Canada are issued a clean title, even if they have been involved in an accident. Other states have relatively lax inspection criteria to remove the salvage brand.[2]
Vehicle history reports[edit]
Vehicle history reports sold by specialty services are intended to disclose the title history of the vehicle,[14] including title washing. Because many US states don't submit accident information to the central National Motor Vehicle Title Information System[15] and junkyards don't always file required paperwork for destroyed vehicles,[16] the accuracy of these reports is not high. Consumer Reports noted that vehicle history checks would at times produce "clean" results despite the vehicles' being offered for sale as damaged on salvage-vehicle resale websites like eRepairables.com;[17] title report provider Carfax settled a class-action lawsuit regarding the comprehensiveness of its reports in 2007.[18]

text: In My Kind of Place, this collection of travel stories isn't exactly (or consistently) about travel the best-selling author of The Orchid Thief sneaks in pieces on a children's beauty pageant, Keiko the whale, and imagining Tina Turner as a houseguest. Filled with wonder and a wondrous sense of humor, Susan Orlean checks her voice at the door when others need to be heard, reporting with compassion and a remarkable absence of irony no easy feat when, say, dinner conversation at a taxidermy convention revolves around fake fish and animal eyeballs. And when she's funny, she's hilarious, clearly having the time of her life. Who could resist continuing an essay that begins ''The penises in Bhutan amazed me, there were so many of them''?


text: The flight from Chicago to Orlando was uneventful if you do dont count the screaming toddler sitting next to my mom in the row next to us. (He fell asleep about 30 minutes into the trip and woke up about 15 minutes before we landed.) Brianna thought the big plane was cool and couldnt wait try out the potty. She fell asleep shorty after they passed out refreshments and didnt wake up until about 30 minutes before we landed. Once we got off the plane and got to the main terminal, I got in line for the DME and the others waited. It was about a 15 minute wait, there we alot of people there including the dance and cheer groups and their parents. Once we were checked in we waited about 5 minutes before our DME bus came to pick us up. The bus that we were on took passengers to the Contempary, Poly and GF, and bonus they dropped us off first at the Poly.

Name of the Product CitySlips
Price of Product $27.99
Where it can be purchased CitySlips Website
CitySlips is a new, patent-pending product designed especially for woman and has recently emerged to market. CitySlips are foldable ballet flats that come with their own protective carrying case. They can be stored in any standard bag, allowing women to switch easily into more comfortable footwear after any well-heeled event. The best part? The CitySlips pouch then converts into a larger tote bag to store those "killer" high heels. It is the total-package solution to your sore feet!
Having lived in the city for three years as NYU students, the co-founders of the product, Susie Levitt and Katie Shea, were oh-so-familiar with the pain caused by pointy pumps and strappy stilettos. Their love/hate relationship with these fashion icons wasn't helped by the fact that these petite powerhouses both stand no taller than 5'2". Despite their suffering, they simply were unwilling to (totally) give up on these beloved wardrobe staples. And yet, corporate internships, subway dashes, dinner dates, the NYC social scene… all of the above led to too many moments of hobbling, near tears, back to their Union Square apartments. The front door never seemed to come soon enough.One too many encounters with shoeless socialites and barefooted babes led to their AH HA moment… and AfterSoles was born. These entrepreneurial sole-sisters came up with a concept and design that allowed women to carry back-up ballet flats comfortably, compactly, and conveniently. They're confident that all of you well-heeded women on the go will enjoy these fabulous sole savers.
CitySlips foldable ballet flats allow girls to carry portable "back-up" footwear easily and conveniently.
This is one of the greatest ideas out there. How many times have you been out wearing heels and smiled and looked pretty. Then on your way home you either went barefoot or put on a pair of houseshoes. Not really very stylish but when your feet hurt they really hurt. If you don't know about this you certainly know the 5 oclock shuffle where in anywhere downtown you see the women walking to their car or the bus in sneakers with their suits. Totally not cute! CitySlips fulfills that need with totally cute slip ons. You can put them on and not feel like your outfit has gone totally down the drain. They are really cute and they come in the best little case which stores your heels. Cool! They are the essence of style and fashion when your feet are really hurting. They are a great idea for Valentine's Day that will really get used.
I received a sample of this product to review at no charge but my opinions are not influenced in any way by this fact. They are my own.

When I was a kid, cross-country always seemed like a tedious affair—pushing skis along in other people's tracks, never leaving the parallel grooves. But here under a grand Alpine panorama, circling the Silvaplana Castle, the sport suddenly makes sense. The small stone structure, built in the 19th century on the edge of Lake Silvaplana, is now at the intersection of a number of ski routes. What's as appealing as the view is the dynamism of "skating," a style of cross-country done on shorter skis, the movement of which resembles ice skating or rollerblading. It's much faster than the classic sport, and skiers follow wide paths and slopes rather than a track.
Olivier Molly, a private instructor, explains all this to me. "More and more, people are switching over from downhill," he says, "especially as they get into their forties and fifties." Molly grew up here in the Engadine, and teaches tennis in the summertime. He's a thoughtful guy, and when I ask him how St. Moritz has changed, he answers by reeling off some troubling developments: "The town is more and more built up, and yet apartments are empty most of the time," he says. "It's a bad trend—the place is going to die out! Look at the stores—there's only luxury shopping, and nothing else. No one even manages to stay open all year-round." (St. Moritz effectively shuts down in the spring and the fall—the hotels, the mountain railroads, the shops, everything closes.) The solution, Molly believes, is to tax the empty houses.
"Half of them are empty for 48 weeks a year. And they're being heated!" says Hanspeter Danuser, head of St. Moritz Tourism since 1978, who came up with the tax idea. "We sold the cow instead of the milk," he says, when I visit him in his downtown office. A 2005 law limiting new residential construction has made prices skyrocket. The Shah of Iran's villa (built in the 1960's) just sold for about $34 million. Recent marquee developments include two from architect Norman Foster: Chesa Futura, a beautiful blob-like wooden apartment building completed in 2003, and Murezzan, his residential development in the center of town, with its chic restaurant, Post Haus.
Both of these projects (and especially Chesa Futura) are striking and elegant and cool, more proof that Foster is the great architect of our age (just an opinion, of course), but they are also emblematic of the changes here. The luxury real-estate market is booming at the expense of affordable, middle-of-the-market places like the now-closed Albana and Posthotel, which were four-star properties before being incorporated into the Murezzan development. Danuser's idea is to force absentee owners to rent their residences out or pay a punitive tax. This would draw a broader spectrum of people to town, not just the extremely wealthy. "But," he says, "people are afraid of the new. And in Switzerland, property is holy." He laughs. "They call me an old radical, a communist Alp Marxist. But we need to solve the problem before the bureaucrats in Bern decide to do it for us." The proliferation of vacation houses is a political issue—and not just in the Swiss capital. Many wish to preserve the authentic character of the country's small villages.
On my way out of Danuser's office, one of his assistants asks how I'm enjoying St. Moritz. "Have you been to La Baracca?" he asks. "I'm going, I'm going!" I answer.
After all the talk of over-the-top, $20 million villas inhabited by the super-rich for a few weeks a year, I jump at the chance when a friend invites me to see one and meet its owner. Luca Bassani is the Italian founder of Wally, a company that makes superfast, high-tech megayachts, the sort of things James Bond would pilot and which cost even more than St. Moritz villas do. Bassani's house in Suvretta, a hillside area in St. Moritz, is quietly spectacular, with lots of pale woodwork and lots of light. It's built in the traditional Engadine style, with modern touches: floor-to-ceiling windows, bent-wood chairs, a squash court, a pool, and art photography on the walls. Bassani and his family spend weekends here all winter, and summers in Portofino.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info |
Plays Wagner first came out in 2009 as a limited-edition cassette on Pat Maherr's (Indignant Senility) home label. A few months later, the much-lauded label Type Records split the cassette onto two separate LPs (Plays Wagner, Pt. 1 and Plays Wagner, Pt. 2), and finally brought the whole thing back together for a single-CD release in May 2010 (Plays Wagner). What you hear throughout this album is recordings of works by Wagner taken from thrift store-bought LPs. Maherr has slowed down these sources, distorted them, and sent them through filters, or possibly made several successive copies of them on analog tape to muddy them up. The listener hears tape hiss, tape signal overload, vinyl surface noises, flattened drones in which orchestras can be recognized, low rumbles that are clearly extremely slowed-down orchestras, etc. For the original release, Maherr had copied his master on old recycled C-90 cassettes, adding an extra layer of muddiness. The Type releases use one of these cassettes as the master to retain that feel. The resulting music is a stunning interpretation of the doom and dread found in Wagner's emphatically dramatic music. It's creepy, moody, and utterly disquieting. It also has ties with William Basinski's disintegrating loops, Leyland Kirby's endlessly melancholic albums, Svarte Greiner's dark drones, and a whole chunk of the `80s drone/noise cassette underground, to which Plays Wagner could be perceived as an homage as much as a rereading. The album doesn't fare well under close inspection -- paying too much attention to it will have you bored long before its 77 minutes are over, because the techniques never change, nor does the sound palette. However, it works very well as music to doze off to (just don't expect pleasant dreams). ~ Fran?ois Couture |

The advent of the 70V amplifier enables business owners the ability to wire multiple speakers to a single amplifier without audio degradation. No longer is it necessary to spend thousands on professional sound reinforcement amplifiers or home theater packages. Users can simply connect basic CD players, AM/FM tuners and other familiar audio sources to this business audio system.
70V commercial audio systems also offer the ability to expand and increase the number of speakers, add a paging microphone and much more. The two-zone system features 20 drop-ceiling mounted speakers, four-zone mixer, a 480W (8 ohms) amplifier and two 500' spools of speaker cable. With multi-zone operation, the user can assign separate audio routing to various sections (zones) of their business. Enough speakers are included for two-zone operation, however additional speakers (optional) will allow for up to four-zone operation with the included mixer.
The system itself is easily installed by the user and we at B&H have carefully compiled the system to provide just the right amount of coverage you need. This particular system is optimized to provide audio coverage of up to 3,000 sq ft. of restaurant, bar space, etc.

VERMONT — Middlebury Union High School junior football player Austin Robinson is one of three Vermont Sports Media Association athlete of the month winners for November as chosen in statewide balloting of VSMA members.
I no longer remember who gave us the advice, but when our family first moved to Vermont some wise soul told my husband and me: "The winters are long and cold. The best way to survive them is to find an outdoor activity that you enjoy."
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The finest season in the history of the Middlebury College women's soccer program came to an end on Friday afternoon, when the Panthers lost to top-ranked Trinity University, 2-1, in an NCAA Division III semifinal played in Trinity's home town of San Antonio.
While several Middlebury College teams pursue NCAA Division III titles this weekend — women's soccer at home in a sectional and the cross-country runners out in Indiana — a Panther club team will also be seeking a national championship, namely the perennially successful Middlebury rugby squad.
We all remember where we were when we heard the news.
I was in Miss Howard's classroom.
It's funny the little things you recall from 50 years ago. Miss Howard was young, pretty and friendly. But she was overweight, and everyone knew she would have a hard time finding a husband.
My classmates and I spent the time before and after school that fall playing touch football, and arguing about whether the ball carrier had actually been touched with two hands or just one.

The Middlebury Union High School football team defeated South Burlington at the Divsion I state championship game in Rutland on Saturday evening. The undefeated Tigers, who beat South Burlington earlier this season, fell behind early, 6-0, but rallied to carry a 13-6 lead into halftime. MUHS scored twice in the second half and won 26-6.

If you're thinking of getting into a written squabble, Mark Twain once wrote, "never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel."
It's a joke most aptly applied to the days of yore when newspapers, run by mavericks like William Randolph Hearst and others in the peak of Yellow Journalism (1895-8), were, let's say, sometimes less than ethical.

HI, first post here with more to follow...having trouble with search function being as specific as I'd like, so please, if I am redundant, just tell me where to look.
Making appliance decisions about 14 year old kitchen remodel and considering Bosch stainless steel, not sslook, dw and wall oven to go with super deal Samsung French door fridge to arrive soon. In Lowe's I actually took cleaner, with their permission and cleaned the Samsung and another. Samsung was so much smoother and I know it cleans easily. I can't get back to Lowe's for awhile due to distance, so can someone tell me how easy it will be to clean the Bosch appliances? If too troublesome I would consider black as I have and love now, but seems I've read that black is going out. I know all "modern" homes and the HGTV feature stainless. Will post pictures, measurements, and more questions later. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have the Bosch French Door Fridge and Dishwasher. I use a microfiber cloth with a little 50/50 water/vinegar mixture that I spray on the cloth. It removes the handprints and smudges. I then go over the surface with a dry cloth too. Hope that helps! |
I have a Bosch dishwasher & Kenmore range in SS. The Bosch finish is more "brushed", less shiny, and as such, does not mark easily. I doesn't show fingerprints at all. I think it makes it a bit harder to clean, but only it takes more grease & stuff to actually mark it. I do not clean it as often as the range, and with my SS cleaner, it's still doesn't take that much effort. I'd choose the Bosh finish over the Kenmore. Can't compare with Samsung however. |

webaileys: "can someone tell me how easy it will be to clean the Bosch appliances?" Welcome, webaileys. We have had a Bosch stainless steel finish wall oven in our kitchen for twelve years. From time to time, we swipe the door with a paper towel that has been sprayed with Windex Vinegar window cleaner; we wipe with a non-sprayed paper towel. No problems -- so far. |

Most Fridays I am home from work and getting caught up on "Mrs. T" things
while Jason is finishing off his work week.
A good lunch date happens to be irresistible.
El Torito (seriously no bull here... get it?) is a Friday favorite.
And last Friday was no different than most others.
But, my order was different.
You see, I am a cheese enchilada girl.
On a wild day I venture out for chicken.
But this Friday I was defying all odds and
ordered myself a serving of spinach enchi-wa-was.
(As Mr. T so ridiculously calls them)
I was in no way disappointed... in fact, I was hooked.
As we munched on our lunch, Mama Bird and I took note of all that filled
my heavenly enchiladas.
And *TADA* my Meatless Monday was born!
Here's my take on Spinach Enchiladas!
You drooling yet?
I am!
These puppies are filled with all kinds of roasted veggies...
Not just spinach, nope, I wouldn't go so low on you guys!
And the sauce... TASTY!
Made with Salsa Verde and kefir (aka: super charged, probiotic milk).
Topped with melty cheese and melted into a puddle of enchilada joy.
1 cup carrot slices, roasted
8 fingerling potatoes, sliced and roasted
3 handfuls of spinach
2 cup of jack cheese (1 inside and 1 for topping)
1 can corn
1 yam, sliced and roasted
2 summer squash, sliced and roasted
1 cup sliced mushrooms, roasted
1 cup salsa verde
1 cup milk
1/2 bunch cilantro
10 corn tortillas
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tabelspoons vegetable oil
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Put all sliced, chopped ingredients in a big bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss and lay in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and fork tender.
(Stir around on sheet every 5-7 minutes to prevent burning)
5. While veggies roast, put salsa verde, milk and cilantro in a blender.
6. Blend until smooth, then set aside for later use.
7. Remove veggie from oven and toss back in big bowl.
(Drop the oven down to 350F here)
8. Add 1 cup of jack cheese, spinach leaves and corn.
9. Mix all veggies up.
10. If your tortillas aren't pliable, heat oil in frying pan and dip tortillas
in heated oil to soften.
(Mine were soft enough I didn't need to fry them)
11. Fill tortilla with veggie-cheese mixture.
12. Roll into traditional enchi-wa-wa shape, and tuck into a greased casserole dish.
(Mine were a little fickle about staying rolled,
so I used a toothpick to hold them in place until the pan was full)
13. Continue until casserole dish is full.
14. Cover with salsa verde-milk-cilantro sauce.
15. Top with cheese.
16. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
17. Remove and enjoy!
And what about that tasty looking salad in the background?
Oh undoubtedly have to share that with you too!
It's the perfect pair...
Add a Dos Equis and you've got yourself a fiesta!
(I don't always drink beer, but when I do...)
Avocado Ranch Fresh Veggie Salad
1/2 hot house cucumber, sliced
1 cup yellow and red cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, cubed
1/2 bunch of cilanto, chopped
Ranch dressing (I use kefir ranch.. yum!)
1. Slice cucumbers (don't worry the skin/peel/outside isn't bitter, so leave it),
half tomatoes, cube avocado, and chop cilantro.
2. Toss all veggies in a bowl.
3. Drizzle with ranch.
4. Stir things up in there!
5. Dash with salt and pepper to your liking.
Prepare yourself for...
(I feel like I can smell the cilantro-avocado tastiness of this dish through the picture)
Notice how everything has a little green to it?
Thanks avocado for wrapping your fleshy arms around every veggie in this dish bowl.
Usually, that trait is unbecoming.
But on you, it looks good, real good.
How about a side of laughs to go with your enchi-wa-wa?
It's on the house.

Despite a major breakthrough last year that allows trucks from Mexico to travel to the interior of the U.S., few expect to see a convoy of 18-wheelers heading to Chicago or Los Angeles.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, which took effect in 1994, has provisions that allow trucks from the U.S., Mexico and Canada to venture into all three countries, but delays and opposition by the Teamsters union put those provisions on hold.
A pilot program was launched in 2009, but the Obama administration canceled it a short time later. Mexico responded by levying high tariffs on 99 agricultural commodities.
Finally last summer, President Barack Obama and Mexico President Felipe Calderon approved an inspection and monitoring program for Mexican trucking companies that had been approved under the 2009 pilot program, and the first truck from Mexico arrived in Garland, Texas, in October.
The Teamsters union has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration opposing the program claiming Mexican trucks and their drivers fail to meet U.S. safety standards. But proponents say the trucks are inspected by U.S. agencies and drivers are subject to drug testing and must meet other criteria.
So far, enrollment in the program has been low, said Allison Moore, communications director for the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, Nogales, Ariz.
"We haven't seen a ton of transportation companies actually signing on to the program," she said.
Allison said the U.S. has an obligation, along with Canada and Mexico, to abide by the trade agreement.
"It can only benefit the trade relationship by making sure that it is implemented properly and that it has the full support of the administration," she said.
Grower-shippers say the program has not had an impact on the table grape deal.
"We transload everything into our Nogales cooler. Then everything gets loaded out of there," said Louie Galvan, managing partner at Fruit Royale Inc., Delano, Calif.
The company only has to get its product to Nogales, he said, and then customers' trucks pick it up.
Typically, trucks drop off product in Nogales, pick up materials and return to the ranch in Mexico, said Jared Lane, vice president of marketing of Stevco Inc., Los Angeles.
"Not a large percentage travel beyond Nogales," he said.
Part of the reason few produce grower-shippers will take advantage of the program is that many buyers want mixed loads, which typically are consolidated in Nogales and shipped on a U.S. truck, not shipped directly from Mexico, Moore said.
Also, Nogales is another "quality control step along the way," she said. "That's a big part of what distributors do."
Finally, trucks likely would not have a backhaul, she said. Growers would not want to lose the availability of a truck that makes a drop in Chicago and then drives back to Mexico empty.

The Thomas is his nickname, he's one of my favorite players as I was in school at the same time as him so I got to see him in person for 4 years and he ended up breaking the all time pac-10(12) career receptions record on the final play of his career in a bowl win. Then the dual is with one of our lineman who also got drafted by the Jaguars in the same draft as Thomas, he's their RT
Then a non-football bonus, Carlos Baerga auto, my all time favorite player. If you go to my bucket from my previous posts and check out my PC folder, I have a game used auto'd bat of his from one of his 2 Silver Slugger seasons that I won on ebay a couple months back.
Like I said, it was a GREAT day for me in the card world

Well after most of the players were in the locker room and the kids started to leave, I pulled out my phone to check out of town scores/stats and as I was looking down at my phone something hit me in the chest and fell right onto my phone in my hand.
Someone said they thought it was a lineman who threw it, but I'm not sure because it doesn't look big enough for it, but it had to be someone who played as it definitely looks well used and has a small tear on a seam

The New York Post reports that Apple's real estate representatives have been spotted in Brooklyn (NYC) looking at corner spaces in the Williamsburg section development along Kent Avenue between 5th and 7th Streets, a development called The Edge. According to the Post Apple and clothing retailer Barneys Co-Op have had "on-going" talks with the developer to locate at the site, which includes 1,350 condos in three buildings as tall as 29 stories, and 60,000 square-feet of retail space. Apple is eyeing spaces in the 3,000 to 5,000 square-foot range. Rents are running $60 to $100 a square foot per year, sources tell the Post, and any retail space won't be available for at least a year. Apple's search in Brooklyn was first revealed by tipsters in early September.

This neighborhood is called Williamsburg, and no one goes there unless they live there. It's ignored by the rest of the boroughs and no one really knows how to get around there. The most forlorn train lines go past and the train stop is out of the way for everyone else. The vehicle traffic is horrendous.
They should wait or become early pioneer settlers of the fast-changing Downtown Brooklyn area — all the trains heading towards Manhattan go past, as well as Long Island commuters. Major stores like Macy's and Target make money hand-over-fist. Mac owners already set up shop in the coffee houses in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Not to mention, but there are plans to build the Nets stadium in the neighborhood, and the performing arts community is moving in steadily. Apple should get into this area early. Downtown Broooklyn will be busy, hip and exciting in 2-3 years!
- October 10, 2007 at 1837
That is the most ignorant comment I have ever heard. I go to Williamsburg all the time for the great restaurants, cool bars, and nice parks. I live in The Bronx and just recently moved from Manhattan. Just about every stop on the train in Williamsburg is packed and it will only continue to grow.

Listening to and viewing Sondra's remarkable presentation on digital story-telling, I'm reminded of the telling connections between our pedagogy and research. This morning, I'd like to talk about the connections I've tried to make in moving from pedagogical approaches that rely on digital media to a digitally-informed research methodology for capturing some of the nuances of literate practices here and abroad. I also present some video work by coauthors, Synne Skjulstad, of Oslo, Norway, and Hannah Kyung Lee, of Chicago, Illinois. (Image)
As some of you know, Cynthia Selfe and I have long been involved in studying how people take up digital tools as students, as writers, as professionals, and increasingly simply as human beings, here and abroad, going about their everyday activities in a world richly saturated with digital communication technologies (Appadurai). We have focused this work on literacy narratives from within the United States but have also—since the publication of Literate Lives in the Information Age—paid a great deal of attention to transnational contexts and to those who claim transnational identities. In fact, joined by Patrick Berry, we have just submitted a prospectus to Computers and Composition Digital Press (CCDP) proposing a book-length text entitled Transnational Literate Lives. (Image) The book features videotaped life history interviews that we conducted with undergraduates in Sydney, Australia; literacy narratives with undergraduates from Nigeria and China; as well as writing process videos from transnationally-connected graduate students in Urbana, Illinois.
(Image) With this term transnational, we intend to signal those of us who are at home in more than one culture and whose identities, as Wan Shun Eva Lam (2004) notes, are "spread over multiple geographic territories" (p. 79). Often those who claim a transnational identity speak multiple languages, including variations of World Englishes; and maintain rich active networks of friends, family members, and contacts around the globe.
This morning I attempt to trace how—and also why—the research methodologies we've deployed in carrying out these studies have evolved in the ways that they have and show you videos that have emerged from the study. In making these strategic research moves, we've become evermore aware, as Wendy Hesford points out, (Image) of "the methodological challenges we face as we turn toward the global" (p. 788) and how, as Hesford also suggests, the global turn demands critical literacies that connect up with responsibilities of a global citizenship. My coauthors for the talk this morning are Cindy, Patrick, Hannah Lee, and Synne Skjulstad.
(Image) I begin with Synne Skjulstad, now a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Media and Communication at the University of Oslo, who was very influential in helping us see the benefits that might accrue from using digital media not only as research tools but also as providing sites through which to present research. Some of you have heard me say that Synne not only suggested the Web as a research venue but implied that we really couldn't present our research adequately in print; that our current research in Literate Lives at the time lacked the richness that video clips might provide; and, finally, that if we were going to study digital contexts in the 21st century how could we possibly not use digital tools for the research.
And, frankly, we discovered that her arguments held a great deal of weight in our experience of publishing recently in print venues. A good example is a chapter we did for Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis's new book on Ubiquitous Learning (Image), which we couldn't have been more pleased to be a part of but worried about our now print-rendered videos. In this effort to represent the videos in print, coauthors Patrick Berry and Janine Solberg crafted film strips of the video clips creating beautifully rendered illustrations to try to address the problems.
Here's what we wrote in attempting to explain why our contribution, "Ubiquitous Writing and Learning," (Image) wasn't able to convey the full meaning we intended despite our being delighted with the chapter and the book:
Digital video representation easily foregrounds what print seems to easily elide, that writing is embodied-activity-in-the-world, that it is consciousness in action, that it is saturated with affect and identity, that it is social as writers interact with others (people, sometimes animals, and even things)." (Hawisher, Prior, Berry, Buck, Gump, Holding, Olson, Lee, Solberg, 2009, pp. 260-261)
That's not to say that print doesn't provide affordances that video clips and other media seem themselves to elide. In preparing the Computers and Composition Digital Press manuscript and prospectus I mentioned at the start, we learned that some of what we regarded as our best theoretical arguments seemed to get short shrift in the digital multimodal environment. Extended text on the screen doesn't always attract the close reading that academe often prizes. The point here, I think, is that we need to examine with care the genres and the circumstances that each multimodal genre or each mode of presentation makes possible (Prior, Porter). (Image)
Let me turn now to some of the adjustments we made in methodology with Synne herself as participant and coauthor. Through this collaboration with Synne, we learned the value of collecting multiple media for our research, including alphabetic text and, this morning, I attempt to show you how we've tried to craft a method that draws on all available means—or at least taken steps in that direction.
Synne, like some of the other research participants, completed an online literacy autobiography, which, in Synne's hands, turned out to be 66 pages interspersed with images of herself, her life, and her writing and computing experiences. (Image)
She also shot footage of her typical Norwegian day in Oslo saturated, we would argue, with activity that connects up with her literate life. Unlike other participants (Image), Synne had embedded photos that demonstrate how visual components can inform narrative (Image), along with aesthetically composed video footage (Video). It's noteworthy too that even as a young student, whenever possible, Synne turned to images and multimodal representation rather than relying primarily on words, and this penchant of hers—this literacy practice—continues to this day.
I'd now like to demonstrate how I've tried to incorporate this methodology into my own teaching and research, and here introduce another coauthor, Hannah Lee (Image), who, like Synne, was born in the country in which she's spent her entire life, but who nevertheless claims a transnational identity with her family origins in Korea.
As Hannah herself explains about her life as a Korean and as an American,
(Image) Being a second generation Korean-American, I grew up in an environment that was at times separated into two worlds.
(Image) My "inner" world consisted of home and family—the Korean side of me. Here, I spoke mostly Korean and some English with my parents. On Saturdays, I would attend Niles Korean School and learn the basics of reading and writing in Korean.
(Image) My "outer" world consisted of school, the rest of society, and speaking English. Most of the time these two worlds remained separate, but every once in a while one would merge into the other.
Hannah Lee was born seven years later than Synne on August 27, 1980 in Chicago and grew up primarily in an area called Rogers Park (Image), a community known for its diversity then and now. Hannah tells us that she grew up in a language-rich environment and often heard languages such as Spanish, Polish, and Hindi, along with other Indian languages.
(Image) Both her parents were born in Korea—her father on the island Jeju-do, which is a volcanic island and now a UNESCO World Heritage site—and her mother in Namwon, where she grew up on a farm. Her parents came to the United States, separately, not long before Hannah was born, with her mother working as a nurse and her father eventually going on to own his own architectural firm. (Image) Going to his office provided opportunities for Hannah and her sister as children to experiment with various computer applications including word processing, software packages that vendors would send her father, and America Online. She remembers in the early 1990s discovering chat rooms with her sister and having conversations with people from all over the United States.
In 2006 (Image), Hannah entered the MA writing studies graduate program at Illinois, enrolled in my graduate seminar, and, as part of that class completed what I've called a writing process video. The assignment asked that students attempt to capture a representation of their processes on camera and explained: (Image)
You do not have to video yourself, but you do need to try to represent some of the thinking and processes you experience as you approach and carry out a writing task.
Here is the video that Hannah composed: (Video)
In writing about her video, Hannah says, (Image)
My video camera went with me wherever I went—the bus, the airport, my apartment, my mother's house. I knew that I wanted to collect a montage of my daily activities, to translate these images, sounds, and words into something that would portray the mundane, yet mind-wrenching activity that is my writing process.
She adds,
Notions of stretched and retracted time were invoked. (Image) Time seemed to pass by without my noticing as I worked on the video—which is nothing like the dread and procrastination that usually accompanies my typical writing assignments with their ever-present deadlines looming before me. The hours it took to get the various shots of me typing at my computer amount to a few moments in the video. Yet the repetitive, insistent cuts evoke the feeling of stretched time. (Image) Quickly paced cuts of the activities that I engage in while not writing—checking my email, going for a walk, getting a drink of water—push their way into my writing process and keep me from it, all the while engaging with it, briskly furthering the process along.
In many respects, Hannah's video begins to illustrate what Elaine Chin has written about writing and its production. Chin argues (Image)
The context for the production of writing always includes the material conditions, the time and space writers occupy as they write, as well as the web of social interactions affecting composing. But more importantly, the context for the production of writing needs to be conceptualized as the writer in situ in that it is the social text that writers create for themselves and in which they situate themselves. (Elaine Chin, pp. 476-477)
And here, with the video, it is Hannah doing the conceptualization, not necessarily a researcher looking on. What we perhaps see less of in this particular video of Hannah's are ostensible traces of how family histories and cultural customs are folded into her everyday literacies. Without more background of her literate life and of what Cindy and I have called the cultural ecology of digital literacies, lots is elided in Hannah's rich story of her literate activity (Prior).
But through online alphabetic writing, Hannah has told us something additional about the joys of transnational ties—visiting family in Korea—but also of the difficulties of being a second-generation American and its impact on language and communication. She writes
I never really thought about the communication barriers I've had to grow up with until I took my second trip to Korea (I've been to Korea three times so far). (Image) In many ways it felt good to go back to my roots. Yet, as I visited cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents that I never knew, and tried to communicate with them in the Korean that I had managed not to forget over the years (Image) I noticed for the first time just how different my experiences were from those of my cousins. I marveled at how easily they communicated with my aunts and uncles and how perfectly they understood each another. My cousins didn't have to tone down or change their words so that their parents could understand. They simply spoke.
And Hannah has said more. She has noted, for example, that communicating with her mother in this country is also sometimes a challenge. When Hannah related her literacy narrative through the DALN, the Digital Archives of Literacy Narratives that Cindy and Louie Ulman have established at Ohio State, she elaborated on issues of communicating, only this time here in the United States with her mother: (Video)
(Image) Here Hannah describes her role as a translator—as a mediator—in helping her mother negotiate day-to-day literacies in an environment where some make the mistake of thinking her mother uneducated because they themselves don't recognize her fluency and expertise in Korean—a language in which she writes poems and essays that they cannot understand. Hannah reminds us too that while those with transnational connections tell of shared experiences—problems with communication, for example—that there are also complexities—her mother's hearing loss—that amplify the individual problems at hand.
(Video) In my talk this morning, I have done justice neither to Hannah and her literate life, nor to her aesthetic storytelling. That's for another talk—for another chapter in Transnational Literate Lives. But her literacy narrative and video begin to speak to how we constitute literate identities and perhaps to how as teacher-scholars in writing studies—or digital writing studies as Cheryl Ball has named us—we might go about our research. At the very least, I hope I have begun to illustrate a research approach that can help us better understand how personal and cultural histories shape people's literate practices and how digital tools can help us in that effort.

Hmm yeah man, so what's that like?
Wasn't the premise of Google: The Movie a plot on Friends? Best bit of that trailer is when a young guy manages to trick the old guys by referencing a hip and up-to-date comic book character…. who was invented before either of them were born. And would almost definitely have figured in to their own childhoods.

Olivia Wilde's ex-husband is possibly the coolest guy in the world, so I cannot give this union my blessing. I'm so sorry to everyone involved.
Enlightened is the best show on tv right now, by a long shot. Enlightened deserves all of the press that Girls gets instead, only positive.
Agreed on all points, MSCL totally set the standard. If the show had been wholly focused on the kids, it still would have been fantastic. I mean, that's already the primary reason it was so good. I think the parents were probably given storylines in the show mainly so that the whole family could watch at home and each have something to relate to and maybe learn a little about one another. There's also a line in episode four or so where they talk about how important it is for Angela to take her father off of his pedestal finally, so maybe there's something in the idea of humanizing parents in a show aimed at children. But that's not necessarily something age-appropriate viewers are actually going to be interested in. I definitely wasn't.
Interesting question. I'm definitely more into the parents' stories now than I was the first time I watched it, because they do round out the narrative and it is interesting to me to see how their behavior sort of shapes Angela and her development (same for Rayanne's free spirit mother and her affect on Rayanne's attitude.) On the other hand, since I'm kind of watching it out of a weird nostalgia/why-wasn't-I-a-better-teenager feeling (which I guess is somewhat close to actually being that age and wanting to find a voice on television) I'm also still definitely invested in the kids' storylines more than anything else so I could easily get behind a cut of the show that was all teenz all the time.
Yes I did! You mentioned it on one of these Day posts a few weeks ago so I went and found and requested it. I'm so happy to be part of such an exclusive club! Soon many more people are going to get to read and love it too and that's an amazing thing. The book's wonderful, congratulations!

You've really had My So-Called Back today, topknot. I sure hope you're right.
I watched My So-Called Life and realized that teenage me wasn't Jordan Catalano like I had always thought but actually Brian Krakow. I feel you, Chet. #gethazed
I hope that answers your question???
Hi Steph! I'm glad you posted here because I've wanted to tell you for a little while that I was lucky enough to be allowed to read a galley proof of your book recently, because I am a Very Important Media Professional™, and it's so, so good. I wolfed it down in about two obsessive sittings and I honestly really enjoyed it. I'm going to be buying ten copies when it's released and giving them to all my friends (with eight to spare!) All Monsters should do the same too.
The one where Angela gets a zit. Sharon is currently very upset with her boyfriend for letting her be voted Best Hooters in a school poll! I would be too.
I'm actually watching My So-Called Life this very second because I'm very adult & well-adjusted & have zero lingering regrets about the way I spent my own teenage years and now I turn on my laptop and now here's an article about Jordan GD Catalano on my screen apparently wanting me to make my entire life about him. I half-expected this from Leto, Kelly, but I never expected it from you.
Mexican Blake Lively looks exactly like American Blake Lively. Are we sure it's not actually Blake Lively? I know the rumours that she stopped dating Weinstein, but her career can't have suffered so badly from it that she has to reprise her one big role in a foreign language adaptation… can it??

Portage man gets home detention for attempted carjack
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent March 4, 2013 5:02PM
Updated: March 4, 2013 8:17PM
The Portage man who escaped from Porter-Starke services and tried to hijack a car in January 2012 will serve 18 months on home detention.
On Monday, Porter Superior Judge Roger Bradford sentenced Emil Anthony Lukstein, 46, to a total of four years, but the rest of the sentence will be on probation. The sentence also requires Lukstein to continue in therapy and stay on any medications required, as he has done while on bail bond.
When the incident happened, Lukstein was an overnight patient. Defense attorney Peter Boyles said they were considering holding him for longer.
Lukstein walked across Calumet Avenue in Valparaiso to a gas station and got into a woman's car while she was pumping gas but couldn't get it started. Two men pulled him from the car while he was going through her purse for money to get to Ohio to see his children.
Lukstein pleaded to Class C felony robbery on Jan. 28.

San Miguel de Allende + Colonial Cities
Dos Casas
Urban Modernists have another reason to visit San Miguel de Allende: the five-room Dos Casas. Formerly two separate vacation houses (hence the name), the newly opened inn off the main square retains the colonial flair of the original buildings (a massive wooden front door, cozy fireplaces, and stone walls) but incorporates contemporary Mexican design elements,such as floor-to-ceiling leather headboards and Barcelona chairs. The Del Jardín room overlooks the garden, and Del Fuente opens to the patio courtyard with a running stone fountain, but La Terraza is the one to score—the top-floor suite has a private outdoor terrace, with a whirlpool, and the best views of the city. At breakfast, hang out with chef Lupita Rodríguez while she whips up her signature chilaquiles.

Pregnancy And Diet / Diet During Pregnancy
In this phase the body needs extra nutrition for the developing fetus, pregnant woman herself and the lactation period to follow. These nutritional demands have to be met for a healthy child and mother. The diet before and during pregnancy should be rich in calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals. This need varies in the three trimesters.
The diet during pregnancy should comprise of fruit and vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals, low-fat dairy foods and lean meats, chicken and fish (low in mercury), dried beans and lentils, and nuts and seeds.
A pregnant woman should avoid certain foods like unpasteurized milk, raw or uncooked meat, poultry, fish and eggs, alcohol and caffeine.
It is always advisable to eat 5-6 small meals each day, instead of 3 large ones. Avoid skipping meals as the baby needs regular sustenance, and the expectant mother also needs to keep up her energy levels. Having healthy snacks like salads, sandwiches, soups or fresh fruits between meals is also a good idea.
The baby needs healthy foods packed with nutrients and not empty calories such as those found in soft drinks, candies and desserts.

Bought a lot of rhizomes from a well known seller, some still haven't sprouted!(6/10/09), planted in April. Meanwhile, my old ones tend to sprout much earlier. Whether I want them to or not!!! only the newest present this problem. Any ideas???
Planted in "light airy mix", watered once, then......wait, and wait.. Kept slightly moist, not too wet for fear of rotting. HELP!!!!!!!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
FXXY - the rhizomes are either dead or not. Check it. If they are not - I would try to replant them very close to the surface so they get some light. Next time you start rhizomes - put them in a baggie first with a barely moist sphagnum moss, keep them exposed to light- but not to direct midday sunlight - and when they start sprouting - plant them the way I mentioned above. For some reason my own Achimenes that is sitting in a pot of geraniums at work - comes back without any efforts. Looks like yours too. irina |
Thanx for the info. No, they are not dead, just "resting" I think that the dealer must somehow force a dormancy deeper than normal, to keep them from sprouting early. BTW, mine keep showing up in all the other containers, apparently leaping from one to another. I get lots of old ones in different containers. Makes an interesting display....... |
I bought some new ones this spring as well, and they also were much later in sprouting than the ones I've grown for years. However, they did all eventually emerge and are growing well now. Mine came from CA, and my theory is that perhaps they entered dormancy later there, thus emerging later. Mine show up all over the garden, too, and many have proven hardy over the last few years. |
My Purple King has been blooming since Saturday, maybe even before. This is an old pot, but still vigorous!!! Newer ones just about sprouted. |
I guess they need time to go from dry and dark to humid - light and growing stage. I think when they are in a baggie with humid sphagnum moss or vermiculite exposed to light wakes up faster. Achimenes produces air rhizomes - propagules in leaf nodes - and drops them everywhere where it can reach. Achimenes Ambroise Verschaffelt is a notorious traveler. |

Hampstead High Life
October 29th, 2010
Luca Csepely-Knorr has commenced her studies at the Manchester School of Architecture into the work of the Hungarian architect Bela Rerrich and the British landscape and town designer Thomas Mawson prior to the Great War.
On 11 October 2010 the RIBA, the Goldfinger family, the National Trust and their guests formally presented the Scholarship award to Luca during a reception event held in Erno Goldfinger's house 2 Willow Road in London. Amongst the guests were James Dunnett, Gavin Stamp, Kit Allsopp, Professor Kinga Szilagyi of Corvinus University of Budapest and László Magócsi, Science and Technology Attaché of the Hungarian Embassy in London.
Luca is pictured being presented with the award by Michael Goldfinger, and with Professor Szilagyi.
That Goldfinger Touch
August 2nd, 2010
The 2010 RIBA Goldfinger Scholarship has been awarded to Luca Csepely-Knorr to undertake an M.Phil at the MSA. Luca will be studying the work of Bela Rerrich (1881-1932), independent Hungary's first town planner who had studied under the Windermere garden designer and town planner Thomas Mawson (1861-1933) prior to the Great War. Rerrich's principal achievement was the cathedral square, Dom Ter, in Szeged which is pictured. Luca will be supervised by Eamonn Canniffe and Sally Stone.
The estate of the late architect Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987) endowed scholarships in 1999. The scholarships are administered through the RIBA to support young Hungarian architects through a period of postgraduate study (in the fields of Architecture, Art or associated disciplines) or work experience within a UK academic institution or architectural practice.
