The Zack Attack
...a few weeks ago, in Bunch O' Passions, I made a pitch for a show that I saw as the ultimate guilty pleasure, "Saved By the Bell."
So, after getting out of work last night, I was watching the only good thing on TV late-night on Sundays, Adult Swim. After the excellent "Moral Orel," they had an ad featuring an original tune from SBtB (put your mind to it, go for it), and then claiming that SBtB would start showing on Adult Swim starting Monday, April 17.

With all this movie talk on the blogs recently, I've been wondering if anyone here has actually picked up a camera themselves and started filming.
Is it horror? Is it action? Is it drama? Is it America's Funniest Home Video (or just to be hip to the lingo of the kids, Jackass) fodder?

So, I got the word tonight that I've been selected as one of 50 out of an online pool of quiz takers for a wildcard player in the World Series of Pop Culture, a show on VH1 that will be playing this summer.
This is the contest me, fellow news designer Sean Fairchild and fellow pop culture extraordinare Tim Wood were trying out for. Well, one of the two backed out at the last minute (won't say which one), and since we needed the full team, we couldn't go.
Anyway, I played online and then got the callback this afternoon.
I don't want to screw this up. I need advice.

Does anyone have any favorite film quotes? After seeing a modern classic for the umpteenth time, I've realized exactly how much I love film quotables. To see my pitch about that modern classic, keep reading.
Recently, I saw a modern classic yet again. Love him or hate him, director Kevin Smith's "Clerks" was his one shining moment.
And while I was watching it, it hit me exactly why I loved the film so much -- the dialogue was so memorable.

I know, I know, it seems like we just did the year-end thing in December. But, it's the end of March already, and I just can't wait that long.
Our globe is spinning faster. Cycles seem to come back quicker than the speed of sound. The Smashing Pumpkins are already back in the studio recording their next studio album after a six-year hiatus, and I guess that means Creed's about to do the big reunion tour any day now.
VH1's got a show called Best Week Ever that I hear they want to start going twice a week, but even the comedians are tired of the breakneck pace.

I miss the NES. Twenty years ago, the system was just starting to make its way around the world. I was four-and-a-half at that time.
In case you miss it, too, feel free to use this thread to reminisce. Below are my own memories.
I remember the first time I saw it -- I was probably five or six. A cousin of mine was showing us this game he was playing, Duck Hunt, and at the time, it looked like the coolest thing ever. The Zapper was way safer than most real guns, and a bit more fun.

Bluffton Today is a real newspaper that reports real news. We're not a tabloid by any means.
However, weird stuff happens sometimes in the world. The AP often reports these hard-to-believe stories in their "Oddly Enough" section. That's where the odd robbers, the uncomfortable situations and unbelievable stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else goes.
My question to you is, has anything worthy of the "Oddly Enough" section ever happened to you? Have any 160-pound pumpkins been stolen off your front porch?

Saved By the Bell.
Over the last few weeks, me, Tim Wood and Sean Fairchild have been practicing for our attempt to show the work what sort of pop culture geeks we are, the World Series of Pop Culture. (Our tryout is in Atlanta in two weeks.)
One of the shows that came up recently for us (during a game of Six Degrees, minus the Bacon) was the show Saved By the Bell. (I think we were trying to link Gina Gershon to Dennis Franz. Can you make the link?)
What a show it was.

Minelab Metal Arm CuffJeff Herke offers replacement metal arm cuffs for the Minelab Explorer and Quattro metal detectors. |
Minelab Metal Arm Cuff and Accessories For pricing and availability, international shipment rates, or any comments or
questions, please send an Email to .
After breaking several of the original plastic Minelab
Explorer arm cuffs at the worst times while out in the field, I decided make a
better version. I worked with a local metal shop to fabricate a sturdier all
metal version of my own design. After several prototypes of different materials
and multiple field tests, we hit on a winner. Several of my fellow Explorer users in my local treasure-hunting club wanted one as soon as they saw it. Based on their positive feedback, it was suggested that I should be selling these through detector dealers... I decided to start offering them for sale.
As a result of my prototype testing, I ultimately settled on
aluminum construction over stainless steel. While stainless may seem like the
ideal solution, but the weight of the cuff was a major consideration. Aluminum
is 1/3 of the weight of stainless steel for the same thickness of material but
still very strong. In testing, to reduce the weight of the SS cuff, we had to
reduce the gauge of stainless used. The thin SS resulted in a cuff that flexed
during the lateral sweeping of the detector. However, by using aluminum we were
able to have the needed rigidity and while keeping the cuff lightweight.
Easy to follow instructions are included for removal of the existing Minelab metal stand.
The cuffs will be shipped with a SS attachment screw and a
screw retainer already installed. The cuff will also include a comfortable,
black, factory made, 1 ½" wide hook and loop strap that easily adjust to most
arms. The strap can be easily be reversed for RH or LH use.
Introducing a custom made arm rest cover for my arm cuffs.
Made of all weather, 3 mm thick padded neoprene, the same material wet suits are
made of. Designed and used by a metal detector enthusiast wanting a better
alternative to the bare metal of the arm cuff. The moisture-wicking action of
the neoprene keeps you comfortable on hot summer days and the thick padding adds
relief on those long hunts. The stretchable neoprene lined with spandex
form-fits to the cuff and will not slip off. This cover adds comfort and gives a
unique look to your machine.
Products will be promptly shipped using USPS.

"This recipe reminds me a lot of my homemade chicken verde - but without the 3 hour prep/cook time!. I followed the recipe for the most part, except I didn't cook the chicken through before adding the rest of the ingredients (to which I also added a bit of chopped green chile for heat) then allowed it to simmer for longer than the suggested time. ..."
"Very simple prep. It comes together quickly and has a very interesting flavor. I followed the recipe to the letter and was rewarded with a yummy, soul warming soup."
"The recipe worked as it should, but in the end it was not overly appetizing. (it looked like dog food, to be honest) Having never been exposed much to corned beef, I was hopeful, but to me it just tasted like I used canned spam. I may consider trying again, but using fresh corned beef instead of the canned."
"VERY, VERY good! I used Captain Morgan's spiced rum but otherwise followed the directions exactly. It was so good that I ate it for breakfast the next morning! :)"
"I made this for dinner last night. VERY tasty! My suggestions for future cooks: Cut the broccoli small if you are following the posted times OR adjust your times to make sure that the broccoli is cooked to your liking. I also used a Salsa Queso dip. I added some milk during the last few minutes of cooking to create a more "saucy" consistency. ..."
"Didn't have time for the crockpot, so I made it on top of the stove. it's easy enough to toss together and the resulting dish was spiced just right and very tasty."
"Recipe is easy to make.. I liked it but hubby was indifferent (to the point where he said I really didn't have to bother making it again) If not for that, I would've given it 4 stars. I did use more butter and more garlic but otherwise followed the directions to a tee."

Computer assisted learning in undergraduate medical education

Open Learning Unit, Department of Primary Care and Population Sciences, Royal Free and University College Medical School, London N19 3UA
It is becoming "a truth universally acknowledged" that the education of undergraduate medical students will be enhanced through the use of computer assisted learning. Access to the wide range of online options, figure must surely make learning more exciting, effective, and likely to be retained.......
Individual lecturers and departments are already beginning to introduce a wide range of computer based applications.......
Each learner can progress at his or her preferred pace. They can repeat, interrupt, and resume at will, which may have particular advantages for weaker students......
Once an application has been set up, the incremental cost of offering it to additional students is relatively small........
A "leading edge" virtual campus is likely to attract good students.......
The most controversial argument for using computer assisted learning in higher education is the alleged ability of the virtual campus to alter fundamentally the relation between people and knowledge.......
Deans of medical faculties often receive requests for development funding for computer assisted learning projects. Decisions to introduce these projects into the undergraduate curriculum are generally justified....

Computer-Based Training and Performance
Support Gain Momentum
by Michael Gallagher and Harry Olbeter
The trend to deliver training, performance support, and technical documentation through computers, within a multimedia environment, has accelerated beyond the expectations of even the most zealous advocates of instructional technology. Organizations of every variety, in most every industry and public sector, are deploying sophisticated, compelling, just-in-time training and performance-support programs in digital form. These programs combine text, graphics, video, animation (2-D and 3-D), and sound in ways that allow users to navigate them at their own speed, in ways that best meet their ability to assimilate information, yet within the time and performance requirements of their employers.
Computer-based training and electronic performance support can help organizations, and the people within them responsible for addressing these issues, adapt to change quickly and cost effectively.t.

What about computer-based training?
By Lisa Reed
December 20, 2000
Computer-based training (CBT) delivered via the Internet, company intranet, or CD-ROM is gaining wide acceptance. Here are seven reasons why:
Cost effectiveness
Group classroom training takes time, and lots of it. Studies show that computer-based training reduces training time by as much as 48 percent. Slashing training time, eliminating travel time and expenses for learners and instructors, and reducing facility and delivery costs all translate into significant improvements in training cost effectiveness.
Browser based
You can train your employees via the Worldwide Web. Or if you have firewall or other security constraints, programs can be installed on your company intranet and run entirely within your organization's computer system.
Consistent, global delivery
The material presented will be consistent from training session to training session and from site to site, throughout the entire organization. This helps you meet compliance and legal considerations as well as to be assured of the highest quality training to reduce incidents.
Instant updates
Reach all learners simultaneously with updates, ensuring consistently up-to-the-minute training company-wide.
With training available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can easily and conveniently schedule training around production demands and learners' work schedules, often eliminating the need for overtime to conduct training.
Self-paced learning
An employee familiar with the subject but required to document refresher training can move through the material quickly. Conversely, learners who are more challenged with material are automatically directed into remedial or developmental training until they can prove comprehension. Either way, learners progress at their own pace, ensuring the highest comprehension and retention of important safety lessons.
The interactive nature of well-designed CBT engages the learner as an active participant in training. Interactions throughout a program result in higher comprehension and retention. The instructional design of the course and interactions promote a transfer of knowledge from short-term to long-term memory.

Tell us a bit about yourself: where you grew up, your playing career and your coaching career.
I grew up in Johannesburg and then went to King Edward, where I played for two years in the Craven Week for the Lions. Later on I went to play for Maties and Western Province U21. My career thrived as I played in the Vodacom Cup for Natal and also in the Springbok 7s.I played Currie Cup for the Eagles and then joined UCT in 2005 and played until 2008. From a coaching point of view, I have always coached at school boy level during my playing days, and have been coaching at Bishops since 2009, I also started coaching UCT from 2009.
Do you think that UCT needs to pump in more money to get better results in sports? At the moment if we compare ourselves to UP-Tuks for instance, we don't receive the same support the sports clubs there receive.
Absolutely. We are so far behind the other universities, and it's a real opportunity for UCT to step up and create a culture of excellence in sport, to go beyond our brilliant academic record.
The Ikey Tigers have had a rather difficult season this year. Why do you think that things didn't go as planned?
It has been a difficult campaign, and for a number of reasons. We have a very talented squad but lack a bit of experience, and will be a lot better next year, having learnt from this year's experiences. We also lost some really good players to WP, and have also battled registering some of our players as students. While it has been challenging, it has also been brilliant for character building, both for coaches and players.
There has been some criticism that this season the Ikey Tigers haven't been as physical as other teams and have been getting "scrummed and mauled off the ball". Do you think this is fair criticism?
We did battle at times, but UCT has never been known for a massively physical side, our strength lies in out skills and our ability to move the ball around. That not to say we don't have very physical players, again our young team will have learned and be stronger and fitter for next year's campaign.
There was a bit of controversy a few weeks ago with regards to non-students being incorrectly registered as students and playing in the Varsity Cup (for NMMU and Tuks). For the UCT community, could you please tell us how many external (non-student) players there were in the Varsity Cup squad this season?
Every University is allowed seven non-students in the match day 23, in the squad we had 12 non-students, but only seven of them could play on match day.
Do you think Ikey Tigers would benefit if there was more leeway and we had more external players available?
We would definitely benefit if we were allowed to register students as easily as the other universities. The student quota is a real problem for us, as we have so many guys who just miss out on registration, where at other Universities they would easily be registered. We lose a lot of players both at senior and under-20 level, which is very disappointing.
What next? What do you feel should be changed for the next VC season, as well as the WP League?
I think we should be giving the youngsters an opportunity to play at this level, and give them experience.

Faisal Shahzad, the man who tried to set off a car bomb in New York City's Times Square was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday.
Shahzad faced the mandatory life sentence at his hearing in a Manhattan federal court. Prosecutors used a dramatic videotape in their case against him.
Police arrested the Pakistani-American two days after the improvised car bomb exploded on May 1. He pleaded guilty to 10 terrorism and weapons counts.
The case is a reminder of how real the terrorist threat is as New York City once again increases security at hotels, on Amtrak trains, and in the subway system.
New York City police have tightened security in the Big Apple in conjunction with recent terror alerts that have been issued for Americans traveling to Europe.
"We've done some tactical shifts and changes that we think are appropriate at this time," New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
The alert was issued this past weekend for U.S. travelers bound for Europe.
"I wouldn't say that we have specific information about a particular place, a particular time," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said. "And yet we have sufficient information that justifies the issuing of the alert."
The alert came with a mixed message from the U.S. State Department.
"We are saying to American citizens, continue with your travel plans, if they include Europe," State Department spokesman Philip J. Crowley said.
"Be cautious and be aware that we are following multiple streams of threat information," Crowley added.
Many travelers heard the warning -- but were still packing their bags.
"We know there have been terrorist attacks in the past, so this is nothing to take lightly," American traveler Tali Hiller said.
In the meantime, German officials are being tight-lipped about a U.S. missile strike in Pakistan that killed five militants. The Associated Press said U.S. officials believed a terrorist cell of Germans and Britons could be at the heart of the current terror alert against European cities.
Cell members may have been hiding in the region targeted by the U.S. military.

The FDIC take down of IndyMac has occurred. This bank had $19.06 billion in deposits, and from the FDIC site it looks like the insurance pool will eat $4-8 billion on this one. With about $52 billion in FDIC reserves on hand, we can get some idea of the possible burn rate as this process unfolds with other banks.
From Aaron Krowne's Bank Implode-Meter comes a comment about IndyMac defaulted homebuilder loans, and the problems and costs associated with half constructed housing projects. Aaron also offers some comments on Wachovia who appears to have brought in a Paulsen crony from Goldman Sachs. This is probably significant to my general theory that the last six months of the Bush administration will mark one of the greatest periods of systematic looting in American history. Never again will so many assets be handed off to regulators and corrupt apparatcheks for "distribution" to the privileged. This may make the "privatization" of the Soviet Union to Russian oligarchs look like a cake walk. Aaron also mentions that fact that JP Morgan will likely make a move in the Southeast. Wachovia? Maybe, but there are also a slew of smaller regional banks in that region too.
In asking the question of who gets looted and who gets the distressed pickings, I think it is important to consider who is most exposed. The answer is the investment banks who have thin capital bases relative to their fictitious capital holdings and obligations. The biggest plum of all are the assets of GSE's Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Therefore I think we are going to see them dropping one by one like flies. And it really does look like the next crisis is Lehman Brothers. It is not that LEH is terribly more exposed than the others, it's just that they apparently drew the wrong straw. I will also mention that with enormous amounts of wealth already transferred to oil sheiks and Asians that you can look for them to be the new owners of many marked down American assets. They have the purse, and the only nationality or race that is important is the green. You can count on that as much as you can count on the sun going down at night. Follow that ball.

I believe the pile on and stealing of American banks will happen at a very rapid pace, maybe even within just a few weeks. It really has to be a done deal by the end of this year. The events that tipped me off were wholesale downgrades of virtually all regional banks by Goldman Sachs, Citicorp and a chorus of lacky lapdogs in June. In addition the old Risklove rabble is running stock prices of banks into the ground with extremely aggressive short selling. For example short positions as % of float on June 15, (probably even higher now) : FHN 25.8%, CNB 36.3%, NCC 20.4%, SNV 19%, RF 12.3%, And now as if problems didn't exist before, there is suddenly a panic recognition phase about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. What a coincidence! And what a coincidence that the overdue closure of IndyMac occurred this week. And next week we get a slew of 2nd quarter bank reports.
Allow me to give you a quick simplified primer (we can get more anal in the comments if you wish) on banks. Banking is a great business in almost all times. That is why I am convinced the great monied interests are lathered up for a crisis about now and before Paulsen and his lapdog Bush leaves office. A generic bank takes cheap deposits, lends to credit worthy businesses and Gente, and collects a spread of say 3-3.5%, minus operating expenses, netting out around 2.8%. Just using rounded numbers, for each dollar of capital skin in the game, they can take in deposits of $10, and make loans, and net out 28 cents against the Skin. Losses are then subtracted off, and the remaining profit is added to the Skin. If losses are running higher than previously anticipated (universal now) than it is reserved for and taken off of Skin.
In a banking crisis it is important to look at potential losses. One way to ball park whether the Skin shareholders are going down or to what degree they will be diluted is called the Texas ratio. This takes non-performing loans divided into tangible equity capital plus loan loss reserves. It is important to recognize that a non-performing loan is not a complete loss. Recoveries are a complete topic in and of itself, that I will attempt to shed light on as this phase unfolds. There are recoveries especially on mortgages. Figure that a Texas ratio of 50% jeopardizes not only all the profit of banking, but also damages the leverage capital that is needed to exist as a bank. That bank will need to quickly raise capital (preferred or common equity) to make that up, and right now the ability to do so is severe constrained even for more solid lower Texas ratio banks. The other method is as ominous, reduce or liquidate loans to bring in line with depleted capital.
We are about to get quite a snap shot of American banking conditions at mid-year, buckle your seat belts. If there is interest, I am available to respond to and develop more discussion on this specific topic all weekend. I am going to ask that all comments on today's post be directly related to this topic.

Want to Be Happier? Check Out These Tools!
I'm thrilled, because after months of preparation, my Happiness Project Toolbox has been unveiled to the world.
As I was working on my happiness project, I stumbled across several methods that helped me to boost my happiness. I wanted to encourage other people to try these tools, and I also wanted to pull them together to make it easier for other people to do their own happiness projects.
So I created the Happiness Project Toolbox. It's a free collection of eight Tools to make it easier to make changes in your life to boost your happiness.
With the Resolutions and Group Resolutions Tools, you can record and score your resolutions – you can track your own individual resolutions, or you can challenge several people to a group resolution. You can keep a One-Sentence Journal on any topic you like (my online one-sentence journal is "What I'm reading today"). You can identify your Personal Commandments. On the Happiness Hacks Tool, you can share your happiness hacks – all your tips for clearing clutter, strengthening relationships, remembering happy times, etc. You can share your Secrets of Adulthood; my favorite Secrets of Adulthood are "You can choose what you do, but you can't choose what you like to do" and "Over-the-counter medication is very effective." With the Lists Tool, you keep any kind of list (a to-do list, a things-to-do-before-you-die list, a favorites list, anything!)
One of my favorite Tools is the one I added last – the Inspiration Board Tool. There, you can pull together an inspiration board of your favorite books, quotations, images, and websites. That's fun.
Here's a very cool feature of the Tools: you can keep your entries private, or if you want to share what you've learned, you can make them public. Therefore – and this is fascinating and super-addictive — you can read other people's public entries (go to the bar across the top of the screen). Reading other people's Personal Commandments, browsing through their Inspiration Boards, learning from their Happiness Hacks…utterly absorbing.
I had a great time designing the Happiness Project Toolbox. Check it out! I hope it will help you set goals, keep your resolutions, reflect on your values, and pull together material that inspires you.
The days are long, but the years are short.

"We are working with all relevant Congressional offices in hopes the amendments can be revised as these bills move through the legislative process," the email alert continued. "While supporters of the legislation argue the amendments on government conferences could save millions of dollars, this broad-brush approach to government meetings and conferences casts unjustified skepticism toward the value of all government travel. At the same time, the millions of travel employees who support meetings and events would undoubtedly be affected by the possible cutbacks."
So who's doing this lobbying, and what are their best arguments about what Dow's email calls "the value of meetings, conferences and government travel"? Who are the go-to members of the Senate and House who are most sympathetic to the industry? (Dow's email hints at one: Nevada Democratic Representative and Senate candidate Shelley Berkley, who, he reports, has introduced a bill to "ensure that Las Vegas is not blacklisted for future meetings and conferences," whatever that means.)
And while we're on the subject, the same email reported that US Travel was partnering in its lobbying efforts with one group called the Society of Government Travel Professionals and another called the Society of Government Meeting Planners. What are their conferences like? And just finding out how many members they have (and which vendors, if any, buy sponsorships of their meetings) might also be a fun story.

Arcane Brilliance: An argument for raiding as a frost mage {WoW}
Mar 6th 2010 2:29PM sometimes though why should you expect someone to respec from something they love into something they don't like at all or as much? I do agree that dps is always important but I also think if bob pays his subscription fee every month and plays wow for the escapism from his real life issues etc, then let him be in what he likes, let him maximise his dps as much as he can, let everyone else do that and occasionally remember that raiding is still part of the overall experience...a game. I hate arcane, it is so dull to play as and not fun at all. I play in fire and will never respec for anyone as I do my job and I do it as well as I can. Spec how you want, do as much dps as you can and be a responsible raider and everything is fine ;)
Blood Sport: Horde racials {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2010 2:58AM Although anaughtybear, if the blood elves left the horde or never joined then the horde would never have been allowed a place in Dalaran, nor would they have had any ties to Shatt. So many people hate on the belfs because they look a certain way and it doesn't fit with the generally outcast theme of the horde, look a little deeper and they have an interesting story and have played a very important part of the horde for quite a while now and seriously, who the hell would rather have a dilapidated troll female who runs like she had an accident in her pants and has a dead face over a blood elf mage? having said that tho my chars are either belf or forsaken, gotta love those dead gals :)

Feb 1st 2010 3:34AM As a man I have to say I wouldn't mind being nibbled by Keleseth! I never want to kill him, he is too hot! same with Kael'Thas. My belf male mage was uber crushing on him and did a sad /mourn when we took him down. It was a setback alright. I spent hours killing gnomes to cheer my ass up.

A lack of Alliance pride {WoW}
Dec 10th 2009 8:07AM Your entire comment amazes me with its sheer one sidedness but I think the true cherry on the cupcake is suggesting that Telldrassil is in harmony with nature. Why is it rotting then? erm maybe cos it was built against the dragoins wishes and is somewhat of an insult to nature and 'peaceful' nightelves? dude they started it all. Factor in that the Drenai are not liked by the humans (hence why the shaman trainer is sitting outside Stormwind) and are basically religious extremists who also judged the few belfs who attacked them and assumed the entire race was evil (ironic when you think of the eredar) the gnomes are irrisponsible and reckless, the humans are just as bloodthirsty as the orcs and the dwarves are the taurens of the alliance, slightly our of place. every coin has a flip side dude, every positive a negative. without the blood elves and before them the high elves humans wpould not know magic, without the night elves archimonde would have succeded, without orcs the fight against Arthas would be a lot harder. I'm a hordie but playing the point the negative racial points is an easy game, in Wow there is no black and white just shades of grey.
Blizzard and how they deal with ninjas {WoW}
Dec 9th 2009 4:33AM I am so sick of seeing people resoning that if someone disagrees with them and can vocalise it in a more mature manner then they must be older than them. Like being older and in possession of a clue is a crime. I actually agree that the game is fine as it is. I have a couple of level 80's none of whom are ready for raiding but I do hcs regularily. I even popped into a raid with a local PUG and didn't do badly at all in blues and crafted purples. I think if you desire the endgame to be hardcore then it can be but if you do not want it so difficult then you can be casual and still enjoy it! The ten and twentyfive man raids are there to inspire us to move to greater things. If everything was a five man would we still want to reach upwards? would it not be too easy then? I think the thing to accept is that Blizzard try to balance everything, to please you me and every other customer. If a player is elitist then that is theyre problem, ignore them and move on! me, my boyfriend and my rl friends and guildmates play for the experience, not the loot, but there isn't anything wrong with playing for the loot either! Different strokes for different folks. Thats the real beauty of WOW surely? the massive world we can be anything in?
Drama Mamas: When a partner wanders astray {WoW}
Nov 30th 2009 3:46AM I agree, he didn't seem to sorry and to be honest I am amazed you stayed relatively calm! I would have kicked his ass then gone to her and kicked her ass to! I can't stand bull like that at all. Her acting mopey ingame? She should have moved realms for gods sake nevermind staying in the same guild! The bitch should have to play Hello Kitty Adventure Island for three years before she can come back to wow! In short, I think that wanting to work on your rekationship is admirable but she is the cancer and needs to be cut out. You need to find the reasons why he would have cheated on you, otherwise its doomed to happen again.

LydiaHairBlondeColor Treated HairThis Dryer Fried My HairI've been using this hair dryer for about a year now, and was in the middle of drying my hair when I smelled something burning, turned off the dryer, and discovered it had burnt the section of my hair that I was drying. It turned the section of my hair orange, and then the section of hair began to break off. I went to my salon to see if there was any way to fix this and they told me no, I would just have to let it grow out. I contacted Sedu customer service and am very disatisfied that I spent that amount of money on a hair dryer for it to burn my hair, and then for customer service to not replace it.posted May 11, 2011Link to this post
BgohNYCHairDark BrownDry HairFine or Thin HairBest Investment For Your Hair!I ordered the Sedu dryer a few weeks ago and LOVE it! I blowdry my hair almost every day and needless to say, that caused noticeable damage. My hair was breaking and brittle and I didn't realize it was my inexpensive drug store hair dryer that was causing the damage (I had blamed it partially on winter weather, over drying, etc)! After a trip to the salon, I noticed that my hair was noticeably smooth and silky after one blowdry with a professional dryer, and so my search began. I chose the Sedu dryer based on the reviews and to my surprise, they were completely accurate! This is definitely THE BEST INVESTMENT I've ever made for my hair. Not only does it cut my drying time in half (I have long hair and it only takes 6 minutes to dry now!), but it leaves my hair silky, smooth, and shiny. I've experienced noticeable results and have already recommended this dryer to my sister and mom! I was hesitant to spend over $100 on a blow dryer, but this hair dryer is definitely worth it!posted May 9, 2011Link to this post
J T.HairDark BrownOily HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairIts Eh....This blow dryer is eh. I cant say much on it because I dont blow dry it straight. I used the diffuser and the speed of the air was just too fast (even on low) and made my wavy bangs too straight and frizzy. It doesnt dry it faster at all... It took longer then with my Remington one! Under my bangs, it was still really wet after 20 min of drying! (well, with the diffuser)
So if you just want a blow dryer for the diffuser part, this is too fast, makes it frizzy, and doesn't dry it all the way. It did make it feel softer though. If you need to blow dry it for a straight look, then this might be good. But for my needs, it wasnt. Oh, and it does get really hot. Not sure if thats good or not. Either way, im going back to my Remington one :/ Oh well. I really wanted a professional one.posted May 7, 2011Link to this post -
LjbHairBlondeNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairRevoluationarily SucksMy hair:
Length = Long to very long
Thickness = Medium
Natural Color = Dark blonde
Issues = I highlight the bajebus out of it.
Texture = naturally straight
Comments = generally happy with my hair-- wasn't seeking a massive fix when I bought the 4000i
What I wanted:
1. Faster drying time and
2. Smooth and shiny hair-- enough so that I could even skip the flat iron when in a hurry and not feel like a frizz monster. I'm not really a frizz monster to begin with, so I was surprised that my results were....
What I Got:
1) Flatter than usual
2) Flyaway city
Anyone know what a flyaway is? I just learned. They look like little spikes exuding from one's scalp as if to scream 'I'VE JUST BEEN ELECTROCUTED' They are actually just strands of broken hair-- they are natural and normal but for me they normally lain hidden within my locks. Until I met the 4000i.
I tried all of the different settings
I tried pointing the nozzle downward as opposed to flipping my hair upside down which has been normal for me for the last... 25 years.
I even bought a special brush.
And still, my hair made me appear as though I was subject to an ongoing shock current.
So, exactly 30 days to the date of receipt, I sent the 4000i back on its merry way to Folica to redeem my refund. The fact that the motor was making angry noises reinforced my suspicion that either I got a lemon, or, well, the 4000i just sucks.
The end.
PS (um, what's the point in having an ion switch? If I bought the ion hair dryer than I obviously want the ionic qualities so why would I want to turn them off, anyway? But nonetheless, I tried sans ion switch and the results were the same).

RenoWIHairBlondeCurly HairFine or Thin HairNever Thought The Hair Dryer Would Make A DifferenceThis is a pricey hair dryer but my fly away hair is needing what ever help I can find. The result is nice and shiney hair that calms down after a quick and easy dry process. I have not used the attachments but will try them out soon. This dryer is fast and small and the noise is very minimal compared to my CHI dryer. I would recommend this dryer to any one who wants a quiet and quick dryer to smooth fly away hair.posted May 4, 2011Link to this post

MeganBexley, OHHairBlondeNormal HairA Few Flaws, But Seems Great So Far.So far, the Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer has been great. I can't say for sure yet if it is worth the price, but I have only been using it for a couple of weeks. It is extremely powerful. The good part, is that it dries your hair quickly, although it doesn't cut down too much on my styling time. Also, while the dryer itself gets very hot, the air doesn't get overly hot, so you never feel like you are frying your hair. However, for me and my softer blonde hair, the air is so strong that it kind of tangles my hair a bit - the way my hair would tangle if I rode in a convertible or on a very windy day. It does seem to make my hair smoother, but I haven't noticed a huge difference between that and my old, regular dryer. However, I have a feeling that it might be better for my hair over time. Also, the last couple of weeks have been very rainy here, so it has been hard to combat the frizz and really see if my hair is consistently smoother. With that said, on rainy days, my hair is still frizzy even with the Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer. The only other complaint I have is that the cool button is right where I would normally put my thumb, and where I think most people would normally put their thumb - right on the front of the handle. And, it takes very little pressure to press it. So, unless you don't hold your hair dryers around the handle, you will have to change your grip or you will keep getting blasts of cool air. The first time I used it, I thought the air didn't get hot at all because I didn't realize I was pushing the button. Overall, it seems like a great dryer, and definitely better than a normal dryer, but I think I need more time to determine if it is totally worth the price.posted May 1, 2011Link to this post

AimeeHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairSuperb HairdryerAfter reading the reviews on the web site, I decided to invest in the Sedu hairdryer. It arrived quickly and was more amazing than I even expected. I wash and dry my hair every day, so I was interested to see if this product could live up to its claims-- and it absolutely did. My hair dries smooth and quickly. The compact design of the hairdryer makes it very easy to handle and work with while also holding a brush. It was worth the price! So glad I have one. My hair is thankful, too.posted Apr 22, 2011Link to this post
HeatherNYCHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairWas Skeptical, But It's Worth Every Penny!When I started hair dryer shopping, I dismissed this one as too expensive. I bought the Salono Classic instead based on it's fantastic reviews, but it was heavy and made my hair knot while I dried it. So I returned it and decided to give this one a shot - this hairdryer has literally changed my life.
It's light and easy to handle, but also super-powerful. I can dry my hair in half the time it used to take me and it's never felt more smooth and healthy.
I know it's expensive, but if you have long, course, thick hair (like I do) it's well worth the investment.posted Apr 22, 2011Link to this post

Christmas Light Recycling Event
Tis the season to recycle! On December 1, Keep Loup Basin Beautiful will be holding their 2nd annual Christmas light recycling collection. This collection is for non-working strands of holiday lights and will last from December 1 through January 10 at various locations throughout the Loup Basin.
In January, the lights will be gathered up and taken to the Cross Training Center in Omaha, NE to be recycled. The Cross Training Center is a non-profit organization whose mission is "to empower and equip disadvantaged and undereducated men and women through character development, vocational training and job experience." They provide the support, life skills, training, and experience needed for their students to become self-sufficient and successful in the home, the workplace and the community. Students at the Center refurbish or recycle many types of electronics and appliances; providing work opportunities and keeping useful materials out of landfills.
Last year, Keep Loup Basin Beautiful collected over 130 pounds of lights and we hope to have another successful year of keeping Christmas cheer out of the landfill! Help Keep Loup Basin Beautiful by bringing your old Christmas lights to one of the following drop-off locations this holiday season:
Arnold – Village Office (209 W 1st)
Atkinson – City Office (104 S Main St)
Bassett – North Central RC&D Office (308 E Hwy 20)
Broken Bow – Custer County Recycling (79849 Hwy 2)

The cleanup was a village-wide effort that included volunteers of all ages. There were 48 youth volunteers and nine teachers from Arnold Public Schools that put in time to help the community. There were also around 30 adult volunteers from community groups including the Rotary Club, American Legion, Chamber of Commerce, and Rialto Theatre Board of Directors. Continue reading
Burwell FFA Chapter to Celebrate National Planting Day
Burwell, NE — National Planting Day, a day dedicated to our native vegetation, will be celebrated nationwide and locally on September 6. This is happening through the efforts of local FFA chapters in cooperation with Keep America Beautiful, Keep Loup Basin Beautiful, and the Loup Basin Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council. Keep Loup Basin Beautiful is promoting National Planting Day in the following counties: Blaine, Boyd, Cherry, Custer, Garfield, Greeley, Holt, Howard, Loup, Rock, Sherman, Valley and Wheeler.
The Burwell High School FFA Chapter, under the sponsorship of Philip Simpson and in cooperation with Keep Loup Basin Beautiful, will be freshening up existing native grass plots and identifying the plants at the school. There are many native grasses, flowers, and shrubs planted around the town square and the chapter will be identifying those also for community enjoyment and education. FFA chapters in other counties will be developing their own projects in cooperation with Keep Loup Basin Beautiful.
Future plans for the Burwell FFA Chapter include planting native grasses with proper identification at Fort Hartsuff in the picnic area under the supervision of Jim Domeier. Jim is excited about the addition of native vegetation being on display for visitors. Additionally, native vegetation will be incorporated at the Loup Rivers Scenic Byway Interpretive Center, located at 330 South Hwy 11, Burwell, Nebraska through the cooperation of the Burwell FFA Chapter and the Loup Basin RC&D Council.
You too may become involved in National Planting Day! Visit getgrowing.org for more information. Help celebrate the value and power of native species in restoring ecological balance to the environment while creating greener, more beautiful communities Continue reading
Keep Loup Basin Beautiful Recycling at the Rodeo
Burwell — Last week in Burwell while everybody else was busy ropin' and ridin', Keep Loup Basin Beautiful was busy recyclin'. Project Coordinator, Kathy Mann, took on the project of providing recycling for Nebraska's Big Rodeo, a continuation of Keep Loup Basin Beautiful's event recycling efforts this summer. People go through large amounts of bottles and cans at community events and Keep Loup Basin Beautiful's goal is to keep as much of that recyclable material as possible out of the landfill. Nine large recycling bins were set up in the grand stands and beer garden. Mann and her volunteer helpers stayed busy emptying them throughout the four days of rodeo action.
They collected a total of about 65 large bags of cans and plastic bottles which filled the Loup Basin RC&D's portable recycling trailer to the brim. "People are very willing to recycle and are familiar with the 'blue' recycling bins," said Mann. Even with this success, she feels that Keep Loup Basin Beautiful can do more and she already has plans how to improve recycling efforts for next year. Mann hopes to educate the community and rodeo crowd about the importance of recycling, provide more recycling bins, and recruit more volunteers to help with the collection of the recyclable material for the 2015 Nebraska's Big Rodeo. Mann wishes to Keep Nebraska's Big Rodeo at Burwell Beautiful!
Keep Loup Basin Beautiful would like to thank everybody at the rodeo who took time to recycle. They would also like to thank the rodeo board for letting them be a part of the action and promote recycling at the rodeo. Continue reading

Keep America Beautiful and The Coca-Cola Foundation Make Recycling More Convenient for Colleges and Universities Nationwide
Loup City — Keep Loup Basin Beautiful received six recycling bins designed specifically for placement in Loup City's parks and near the school. The bins were received as part of a national recycling bin grant program made possible by Keep America Beautiful (KAB) and The Coca-Cola Foundation.
In its 9th year, the Coca-Cola/KAB Recycling Bin Grant Program is providing nearly 4,500 recycling bins to colleges and universities, nonprofits and local governments, with more than 65 percent of the total designed specifically for permanent, ongoing use in heavily-trafficked public spaces and events.
Loup City received six bright blue, metal, outdoor recycling bins marked with the Coca-Cola recycling logo. These bins will be maintained by the city and are available for people to recycled their plastic bottles and aluminum cans. They represent an extension of Loup City's strong community and school recycling program. "The people of Loup City, especially the students, understand the importance of recycling in their homes and classrooms," said Keep Loup Basin Beautiful Director Anita Olson. "But it's just as important to recycle when you're outside enjoying the parks and recreation facilities. These new bins are going to make that easier."
"Through this program and our more than 50-year partnership with Keep America Beautiful, we are helping to ensure that communities understand the importance of recycling," said Lori George Billingsley, vice president, community relations, Coca-Cola North America. "Community recycling not only impacts the environment today, but it helps build sustainable communities for the future."
"By providing recycling bins to communities, organizations and universities, we can make a difference in increasing recycling in the U.S. and help overcome a main barrier of recycling – convenience," said Brenda Pulley, senior vice president, recycling, Keep America Beautiful. "We are truly grateful for Coca-Cola's continued support and commitment to recycling, and the Recycling Bin Grant Program."

More than 30 Keep America Beautiful Affiliate Communities Receive Grants Totaling $160,000 to Support Local Projects
Keep America Beautiful (KAB) and The UPS Foundation recently announced that Keep Loup Basin Beautiful is a recipient of a 2014 KAB/UPS Community Tree and Recovery Tree Planting Grants. More than 30 grants, totaling $160,000, are being awarded to KAB community-based affiliates throughout the country.
This grant project was a partnership between Keep Loup Basin Beautiful and the Greeley Beautification Committee. Grant money was used to purchase trees and shrubs to plant in the new RV park in Greeley, NE. Goals for the project were to encourage more people to stop and stay in Greeley by enhancing the natural beauty of the park, and to create a living screen between the park and the highway and maintenance yard to filter emissions. Native species of trees and shrubs were chosen for their drought tolerance and adaptation to the area. Local landscaper Carl Buller, of Design Scapes LLC in Scotia, donated his time and expertise to the project. All the trees and shrubs were planted and water lines were installed at the volunteer workday which took place on Saturday June 14. There was a great turnout of willing volunteer's from the community.
The UPS grant program is intended to link KAB affiliates with local UPS employees who will provide volunteer support to plant the trees, in addition to the grant funding. Unfortunately, no UPS employees were able to attend the workday. The UPS employee that delivers to Greeley had intended to bring his family and come help but was unable to that day because of a prior commitment. He was impressed that his employer (UPS) is providing so much financial support for community projects like this one.
The UPS grants are part of UPS's Global Forestry Initiative designed to plant, protect and preserve trees in urban and rural areas in the United States and around the world. The KAB/UPS community tree grant program is intended to help: sequester levels of carbon dioxide through strategic plantings; emphasize the importance of native tree planting; produce fruit from fruit trees for local consumption; and plant trees that will have a greater likelihood of withstanding natural disasters in communities that have lost a significant number of trees because of a recent natural disaster.

2014 Loup Basin Recycling Guide
Being "green" is about to get a whole lot easier. Keep Loup Basin Beautiful, a local Keep America Beautiful affiliate that serves several counties in central Nebraska, has created the 2014 Loup Basin Recycling Guide. This guide is intended to help people locate the recycling opportunities right in their hometown. "Our goal with this project was to increase awareness of all the recycling opportunities available to people in the Loup Basin," says Affiliate Director Anita Olson. "By making it easier to recycle, we hope to keep valuable and useful materials out of the landfill." These useful materials include many hard to recycle items like batteries, Christmas lights, eyeglasses, medical equipment, used motor oil, and scrap metal. Materials like these are listed alphabetically in the guide, with drop-off locations where they should be taken for recycling. Community recycling trailer locations are also listed, where people can drop off more traditional recyclables like paper, plastic, aluminum, glass, and tin cans.
Thanks to grant funding from the Nebraska Environmental Trust and Nebraska Academy of Sciences, these handy recycling guides will be mailed out to every household in the nine Loup Basin counties. The project also received contributions from local recycling companies including J&J Sanitation of O'Neill, Custer County Recycling of Broken Bow, and Alter Metal Recycling of Grand Island. It is because of companies like these that recycling is available in central Nebraska. If you live in Blaine, Loup, Garfield, Wheeler, Custer, Valley, Greeley, Sherman, or Howard County, be sure to check your mailboxes this week for your copy of the 2014 Loup Basin Recycling Guide!

Celebrate Compost Awareness Week!!
May 5 marks the beginning of a weeklong publicity and education event celebrating the humble soil additive that is compost. In case you are not aware, compost is simply decomposed food scraps and yard waste. So why the celebration? There are so many reasons! Adding compost to your soil improves the soil structure and helps retain moisture. Compost is full of nutrients in a form that your plants can easily absorb. As a fertilizer, compost is free, 100% natural and is not dangerous for children or pets. By composting, you are sending less garbage to the dump and keeping valuable nutrients in your garden. Composting is a method that is used around the world in both wealthy and developing countries to reduce waste and create healthy soil.
It's easy to start your own compost pile at home. Composting can be as simple or as complicated as you like. There are many commercially produced compost bins for sale, including worm bins and tumblers, but all you really need is a small space in the corner of your yard or garden. You can make a nice compost bin by wiring four wooden pallets together in a square. Another option is to make a two or three foot diameter cylinder out of a roll of wire mesh. Whatever container you choose, it must have adequate ventilation, an open bottom, and you must be able to mix it and get it out and onto your garden when it's ready.
Choose a spot for your compost pile or bin that is close enough so you that you will remember to use it and far enough to be out of the way. Ideally it should be protected from the wind so it doesn't dry out too fast, and has some exposure to sunlight to keep it warm and speed up decomposition.
Next, collect your materials. You want to aim for a 2:1 ratio of "browns" to "greens." Browns include low nitrogen materials such as dry grass clippings, leaves, hay, or straw. Greens include high nitrogen materials such as food scraps and animal manure. Make sure to only use plant based food scraps like apple cores, banana peels and coffee grounds in your compost pile. Adding meats, fats, and sugary things to your pile will attract pests. Egg shells are an exception to the rule, they make an excellent addition to a compost pile. Also, only use manure from plant eating animals like horses, chickens, cows, and rabbits. Dog and cat manure may contain diseases that you do not want in your pile.
You can layer or mix the browns and greens. If it is very dry out add enough water to make the pile as damp as a wrung out sponge. Water and oxygen are necessary to keep the microbes and other decomposers working to break down the materials in your pile. About once a week, use a pitchfork or shovel to mix the pile. Sufficient oxygen prevents odors and heats up the pile. All the natural processes happening inside the pile give off a lot of heat. It's normal for the interior temperature of a compost pile to get up to 130 degrees or more!
You can continue to add greens (kitchen scraps) to the pile, and supplement with browns if the pile gets too hot or smelly. After a couple months, stop adding to the pile and let it sit to finish breaking down. This would be a good time to start a new pile. Finished compost should be dark brown, crumbly, and have an earthy smell. Finished compost can be used as a top dressing on your lawn, tilled into your garden bed, or mixed in with potting soil.

NPS Exploring Petrified Forest National Park Painted Desert Visitor Center provides information, book sales, exhibits, and restrooms. Timeless Impressions, a free orientation film about the park, is shown every half hour. A restaurant, gift shop, gas station, and convenience store are adjacent to the visitor center. Tiponi, Tawa, Kachina, Chinde, Pintado, Nizhoni, Whipple, And Lacey Points are overlooks providing panoramic views of the red part of the Painted Desert. Painted Desert Inn National Historic Landmark, located at Kachina Point, once served as a respite for travelers along historic Route 66. From the inn, you may view distant vistas and exhibits while touring this historic building. Puerco Pueblo, a large archeological site, was occupied over 600 years ago. The pueblo has been partially excavated and a few of the room foundations stabilized. The trail also features petroglyphs. Newspaper Rock has more than 650 petroglyphs adorning boulders below the overlook. Due to defacement of these petroglyphs and unstable hillsides, the area is closed below the cliff. Free spotting scopes are available at the viewpoint. Blue Mesa is an ideal setting to see the effect of erosion on badland hills. The one-way spur road leads to the mesa top, a four-mile round trip from the main park road. Petrified wood can be seen from the overlooks along the road as well as the trail. Jasper Forest showcases bluffs which once encased the petrified wood now strewn across the valley floor. Crystal Forest, Long Logs, Agate House, and Giant Logs are all trails that feature the many wonders of Petrified Forest. Refer to the Trails section for more information. Rainbow Forest Museum provides exhibits of petrified wood, fossils, and displays of prehistoric animals as well as information, book sales, and restrooms. Timeless Impressions, a free orientation film about the park, is shown every half hour. A gift shop and a seasonal snack bar are located nearby. |

I believe this is a moss rather than a fern. |
- Posted by Razorback33 z7 (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 05 at 10:28
Believe it is Selaginella uncinata(Peacock Moss, Blue Moss) and is sometimes listed by growers as Peacock Fern. It is hardy to Z6. Check link for details and photos. Rb |
Here is a link that might be useful: Selaginella uncinata

Also known as Peacock Spikemoss Selaginella uncinata is native to China and has a light, feathery appearance. This is often thought of as a fern when really it is not, this is a trailing perennial. The leaves are fine textured with a blue-green metallic color. Peacock Spikemoss grow to a height of 1-2" and will root at the nodes, making a nice groundcover or hanging basket nice plant! |
It wants a moist, high organic soil. Mine's not doing well under a tree. |
Thanks for the replies. Also, sorry for the typo error, uncinata is the correct name. I found this fern at Lowe's about a month ago. As usual they were sold in hanging baskets. I hang the pots on tree branches and then noticed that there were thin threads growing out of the nodes. It dawned on me that maybe this fern wants to grow on the ground, not in a hanging baskets where the "rootlets" (?) didn't have anything to grow on. So, I filled up a kiddie pool with "landscaper's mix"(bought at Walmart), mixed in some cow manure and a bit of super-phosphate and planted the fern in it. The whole thing is now sitting in the shade, and seems to be doing well. The new growth seems to be rather stringy and yellowish-brown in color, but later develops the blue-green color. I am rather happy with the development so far. Hopefully it will continue to do well. Will post pictures later. Thank you again for the info. You've all been great. |
Just to clarify, since there seems to be some confusion... Selaginellas are neither ferns nor moss. There are currently seven phyla of plants that are normally recognized: Anthocerophyta (hornworts) Sometimes people split things up a bit more (e.g., Equisetum used to get its own phylum), but the gist is that Selaginellas and Lycopodiums make up their own phylum, Lycopodiophyta, and are not in the phyla of mosses or ferns despite the confusing tendency of common names to indicate otherwise.

I had this plant when I lived in Panama (the country). I loved its irridescence but thought it was tropical and I would never see it again. Then lo and behold, it began to be seen in nurseries. I started with one clump and it has spread to a 6 x 9 sloped area. If it is in sun, it will have the yellow tinge; if it is in dappled shade, it will be blue-green and gorgeous. Mine is not irrigated and I don't water it regularly. My experience is that it doesn't have to be keep moist. It definitely is deer resistant. I live in Georgia, just south of Atlanta. I don't think uvea is correct. |

concept formation
concept formation
Process of developing abstract rules or mental constructs based on sensory experience. Concept formation figures prominently in cognitive development and was a subject of great importance to Jean Piaget, who argued that learning entails an understanding of a phenomenon's characteristics and how they are logically linked. Noam Chomsky later argued that certain cognitive structures (such as basic grammatical rules) are innate in human beings. Both scholars held that, as a concept emerges, it becomes subject to testing: a child's concept of bird, for example, will be tested against specific instances of birds. The human capacity for play contributes importantly to this process by allowing for consideration of a wide range of possibilities.
