The eight universities known as Ivy League schools are: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale. The idea dates back to October 1933 when Stanley Woodward, a sports writer for the New York Herald Tribune, used the phrase "ivy colleges" to describe these schools, which had common athletic programs.
February 1954 is the accepted founding date of the Ivy League, but athletic competition between all eight schools did not formally begin until the 1956-57 season when the presidents of the universities adopted a round-robin schedule for football. The phrase is no longer limited to athletics, and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to the nation's oldest schools.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 589 - 07 October, 2004 Written Answers. - College Closures. Mr. McHugh Mr. McHugh 130. Mr. McHugh asked the Minister for Education and Science if the decision to close a college (details supplied) in County Dublin will be reconsidered and the recommendations of the consultant and advisors to keep the college open and forge a link with one of the Dublin based universities are implemented. [23837/04] Ms Hanafin Ms Hanafin Ms Hanafin: The issue of the future of the college, which is the subject of the question posed by the Deputy, arose in the context of a decision by the trustees of the college that, due to personnel and financial considerations, they were no longer in a position to fulfil the role of trustees. Following discussions between the trustees and my Department, it was agreed that a consultant would be appointed who would meet with relevant parties and prepare a report on the options for the college's future. The consultant's report was thoroughly examined in my Department and the options for the future of the college were set out for my predecessor's consideration. Having carefully considered all of them and having taken into account other factors such as the national spatial strategy, relevant costs in a time of financial constraint, a Government decision to restrict public service numbers, the need to secure value for money and a better allocation of resources, the Minister decided that these considerations are best served by the closure of the college and the designation of St. Angela's College, Sligo as the sole centre for the training of home economics teachers. 1678 It was agreed that the closure of the college would be phased over three academic years to facilitate students currently enrolled in the college to fully complete their studies without moving location and to ensure that there was an adequate transition period for staff. On that basis there has been no intake of first-year students to the college for the 2004-05 year. Instead, these students are now in St. Angela's College. Officials from my Department have already met with the trustees and with management authorities of the college to discuss the necessary practical arrangements, including arrangements in relation to the [1678] position of the staff of the college. I have no plans to reconsider the decision to close the college. Dáil Éireann 589 Written Answers. College Closures. Questions 20041007 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Jim Callis is an MLB.com Draft and prospect expert. He has been covering the Draft and prospects since 1988.
The Florida Panhandle produced several notable speedsters for the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. The fastest of them all was Gulf Coast Community College outfielder Terrance Gore, who rode his quickness alone to a spot on the Royals' postseason roster last fall. The best player among the Panhandle speed demons, however, is the Phillies' Roman Quinn.

Cardiff University's commitment to women in science has been recognised with a national accolade.
The University has received the Athena Swan Bronze Award in recognition of its success in recruiting, retaining and promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET).
Cardiff is one of only 19 universities nationwide to have been awarded a prestigious bronze award of 2009 under the Athena SWAN Charter for Women in Science.
The Charter commends good employment practice for women working in science, engineering and technology (SET) in higher education and research.
The judges praised the University's "impressive" submission and highlighted the Positive Working Environment initiative and the Women Professors' Group. The University's flexible working policies were also applauded along with support for staff returning to work from maternity leave.
Vice-Chancellor, Dr David Grant said: "The Athena Swan Bronze award further enhances the University's long-standing reputation for teaching and research excellence in science, engineering and technology disciplines. This award demonstrates the University's commitment to academic excellence and to equality of opportunity and inclusiveness across the institution."
Professor Terry Threadgold, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Staff and Diversity led a group supported by Isabella Santamaria, Equality and Diversity Manager, Human Resources to prepare the submission and develop an action plan for future initiatives. They collected the award on behalf of the University at a celebratory lunch at Birmingham Botanical Gardens (29 September).
Isabella Santamaria, Equality and Diversity Manager said: "This is another positive step forward to embedding equality and diversity throughout Cardiff University."
Athena SWAN is funded jointly by the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology (UKRC) and Equality Challenge Unit (ECU).

Raychem QuickNet is an electric radiant floor heating system for installation under the following surfaces:
The QuickNet system provides targeted comfort heating in bathrooms, kitchens, entryways and other living areas. Raychem QuickNet's compatibility with all standard sub-flooring materials, and its low 3/16 inch (3mm) profile, make it ideal for renovation projects. The QuickNet radiant floor heating system includes a blue heating cable woven into an adhesive-backed red fiberglass mesh that allows for simple roll-out installation without worrying about heating cable spacing. The floor heating mats are pre-terminated for use with 120 V, 208 V, and 240 V. The QuickNet floor heating mats emit no measurable electromagnetic fields due to the shielded dual conductor design. This dual conductor cable requires only one cold lead connection making it easy to layout and install. The cold lead is a black non-heating cord that runs in the wall and connects the system to the thermostat.

The plan calls for a mix of residential and retail on a 10-acre tract, including 63 affordable housing units. (The presentation also included discussion about a larger 75-acre "corridor" that extends southward from the tract to be developed.) Redevelopment of the 10-acre tract is expected to cost $11 million in public funds, much of that federal dollars, some of which has already been committed from sources such as HUD and the EPA. But there is a $4.6 million "funding gap" that will have to be made up with public funds. Responding to a question from the audience, a city staff member said that he did not expect a tax increase to pay for this project.
The city expects to use $300K from the HUD CDBG grant and $790K from the HUD Home Program, plus $3.5 million in certificates of participation to make up the gap in funding. (I asked if that was new HUD money or something we already get. It's not new, but it wasn't clear which programs would lose funding if this money is reallocated.)
Cleanup and site prep could start as soon as 2007, with the project to be completed in 2011. The redevelopment plan will generate $50 million in private investment. The current tax value is $1.9 million.
Because this is a brownfields redevelopment site, there was a question about the level of cleanup. The answer was that there would be some level of remediation, but probably not complete removal, and it would be based on the usage of the property and negotiations with the state. Follow-up question: Do you know how expensive it's going to be? Answer: "We have a good idea of what we need to do," but "no firm price."
I told the commission that all of the streets in the redevelopment area are streets we visit each week on Night Watch, and we find homeless people hanging out and sleeping at locations all over that area. I then asked about the homeless folks who will be displaced by the redevelopment. There was an audible rumbling in the audience behind me, where some of the neighbors were sitting, but no one spoke up. A commission member acknowledged that the issue had been raised, but didn't answer the question, either. She commented that the homeless people didn't actually live there and that they stayed in the area because of the homeless services available nearby.** (I absolutely understand the residents' concern and I'm not against the redevelopment plan. I just know that if you move the homeless people out of that area, they still have to go somewhere. So if you're planning for everything else, why not plan for them, too?)
Prior to voting, one of the commission members indicated that the following concerns raised by speakers and audience members would be addressed by the commission as they continued with the plan: 1) using "green" building materials for the project, 2) incorporating bike pathways, 3) considering a market rather than a chain grocery, and 4) considering the needs of the homeless individuals who will be displaced by the redevelopment.
Update, 08/23/06:
News & Record coverage,"South Elm Plan Clears First Step."
**N&R quotes Nettie Coad: "It's not like they have a house there. They're just congregating there. If you minister to them there, that's where they're going to stay."
The article also states that I "work with" Night Watch. To clarify, I'm a member of the all-volunteer Night Watch street outreach team.

In: Navel Gazing
14 Oct 2009Disclaimer: This is not directed at any one person. It is the product of the last few years of internet interaction, and an ever shortening fuse when it comes to this kind of issue. If you wonder "Could she be talking about me?" know that such wondering is good, but this probably isn't about you.
Since it seems to be necessary right now, this is where I'm going to be a total and complete jerk* and lay out exactly what I do and don't expect in terms of communication with people I don't know on the internet.
If you want to talk to me, I'm happy to do so. I will gladly offer help with RP or cooking or writing or blogging or just chatting. Contrary to what the rest of this post will suggest, I am an approachable person.
However, if you IM me, and I don't respond within the first five minutes, it's probably because I am busy and have left my IM window open and active, and not because I am mean or nasty.
If you have nothing better to do than constantly send me random emails about what a bastard your coworker/mom/friend/employee/boss/relative is, particularly if when you do it, you employ sexist/misogynist/racist language… I'm not going to be particularly endeared to you.
If I am busy doing something, and I say "Sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm busy" – please allow me the courtesy of being busy instead of continuing to spam chat at me and then getting upset when I'm not reading it. This is especially true if I'm busy enough that I'm putting up a DND/away tag, but I'd hope that the request would garner the same reaction.
Just because I have a new alt in a video game, and I may talk about that new alt on the internet, does not mean I want everyone I know to start talking to me while I'm on that alt. Especially if that alt is of the opposite faction that I normally play. If I say this to you… please afford me the courtesy to have my peace and quiet.
If you have nothing to say, IMing me to tell me you have nothing to talk about? Is annoying. Random chat is ok – I'm guilty of it myself. Constant play-by-play twitter style updates about what you're wearing/eating/doing? Is unnecessary. That's what Twitter is for.
I can't solve all of your problems. I am, occasionally, in possession of a bit of life advice (especially if it's about school, writing papers, cooking, or working on houses). I am happy to help. If you abuse that help, I will get annoyed. By abuse that help I mean you expect me to drop everything I'm doing whenever you need something. I am not on your staff.
If I feel you are abusing my good graces, I will try to change the subject, or I will start ignoring it. If that is too subtle, I will ask nicely. If nothing changes, even after my repeated attempts to say "You are annoying me with the constant blow by blow of how much your (whatever) sucks"… I will probably be less nice.
If I am the only person you ever talk to, and you send me whispers constantly the entire time both of us are online, regardless of what character/screenname I happen to log in… that's weird. Especially if every single conversation is about you and whatever your current problem is, or about you and how awful/depressed/miserable/stressed you are**. Maybe you don't find it weird. I find it weird, because I do, occasionally, want to talk to other people. I am not your sister, your confidant, your therapist, or your best friend***. I am someone you met playing a video game or on the internet, and I can't solve all of your problems. If you exhibit stalker-ish behavior – even if you are doing so with the best and most friendly and lovey and wonderful of intentions – you will still creep me out.
I don't like guessing games. Never have, never will. "Hey guess what?!" is too commonplace to really fuel the fire, but making me guess at who you are, what you did, or what awful thing happened to you today? Will piss me off. If you keep doing it, it will make me even more angry, because not only are you being annoying, you apparently don't have the common courtesy to stop doing something someone else tells you is annoying. If "I really don't like guessing games" is too nice… the next time I'll be less nice.
And sadly, if at the end of all of this, you still can't be arsed to pay attention to someone who is clearly saying "I don't want to talk to you right now" – I will define very clearly, in no uncertain terms, when and where your approaching me is appropriate. If that's even too hard, you will get banned/blocked/ignored. And I will delete your emails telling me what a horrible person I am for doing so.
I'm tired of being taken advantage of by people who can't realize that someone else's time and emotional energy is valuable, and that refuse to take very un-subtle hints. If that makes me an unfeeling, uncaring, insensitive jerk… then I guess the shoe fits.
So I'm sorry if I've offended your sensibilities about my character. And I really hope that people won't label me as some cold, unapproachable asshole because I have personal space boundaries even on The Internets.
But to be quite frank, enough is enough, and I'm tired of this pattern repeating itself. This has gotten so bad that I find myself afraid to approach people for fear of coming across like one of the above mentioned out-of-balance relationships; opening a window because I'd like to ask someone something, or get an opinion or advice… only to close it because I'm afraid I'll end up sounding like the people I'm so frustrated with isn't fun****. I don't like it, and I'm tired of it.
Hence this post.
*By jerk I mean simply, I am going to lay out my expectations of how communication works in no uncertain terms. This is what I want, or don't want. Take it or leave it.
**Everyone needs a place to vent sometimes, and I'm totally OK with that. I'm not talking about "Man I really need to vent about this" – I'm talking about never having a conversation topic that isn't you/your problems.
***This is not to deny that real, legitimate friendships can and do happen on the internet. They just don't happen like this.
****As an illustration, I did that twice while I was writing this post. Once to ask for advice on wording something, and once because I'm not sure one of these points is clear enough to the point I want to make. Both chat windows were closed instead of sent.

Boundaries are important for each and every relationship, even married couples, best friends and people on the internet.
I think I will refer to this post when discussing internet boundaries from now on.

<3 to both of you. I was rather nervous about this post, as I didn't want it to drive people off.
October 14th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Some people -need- to be driven off though. Like those people who do craptastic crap as mentioned in your post. I once again give 2 very hearty thumbs up.
October 14th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Great post, Anna. A situation like this was the reason I actually shut down my old blog. Phil and I have talked about it before, and we think that, especially with blogging, a lot of it stems from the "one to many" aspect of blogging.
I get emails from people who tell me "We would be such good friends in real life!" and they talk to me like they know me so well. I talk directly to people, through my blog, every single day, and it comes across as a one to one relationship. It's hard to grasp the concept that it is not one to one on my side. Not that the idea horrifies me, or I'm snotty about it, but I'm relating one to many while people are relating back to me one to one. It's hard for someone on the blog reader side to really realize that the relationship doesn't go two ways.
This isn't to say that as a blogging, I'm above being friends with everyone who reads my blog. I'm NOT. I'm definitely not. But as an example, there is what Phil and I went through at the start of our relationship, after he'd been reading my blog for a year. He was friendly, and personable and familiar, and getting a really prickly, standoffish attitude in return. It took me a while to gently get him to the point where he understood that "Look, I know you know a lot about me, and I know that makes you feel close to me, but I DON'T KNOW YOU."
I often get the people who realize they can IM me or talk to me in gtalk, and I always say hi and what's up and talk for a minute. More often than not, this turns into someone wanting to converse every single day. Just like you, I want to be careful not to be a jerk here… but you see just how often I appear on AIM.
And… whoops. I just realized this was blog post length in your blog comments.
Mah bad!
October 14th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
@TJ – I don't mind post-length comments at all – and I appreciate hearing from you. When it comes to blogging, you know what's what.
I just need to get better at communicating this to people. And find people that are better at taking hints, I think…
Okay, first, I saw "Arrens'" comment above, and I started wondering how I'd already commented.
Second, if one of those closed chat windows was to me (and even if it wasn't), you should know that in those circumstances I'm totally approachable.
Third, /sign. (Fortunately, I don't have those kinds of groupies. *knock wood*)
Brava, chica! I applaud this entire article. The only thing I wouldn't have changed was your disclaimer at the top of it ("this probably isn't about you"). I would have flipped it around because now people who don't realize their jerks will think, "Oh, well, she's not talking about ME." Whereas if you flip it, everyone reads themselves into it and will therefore be more aware of their own behavior. But back to your point: this is why I no longer sit on IM. Intermittent chatting adds to our society's trend toward A.D.D. and washed-out, trivialized communication. I'm over twitter and facebook and (mostly) IM. Sheez… maybe this is a spark post for me… In any event, thanks for writing this. You go, girl!
I can completley relate to closing a chat window unsent out of concern for coming across badly. I can't count the times I have had a little text box all filled out, only to not hit send.
Actually that's one of the reasons I rarely comment on peoples sites, despite knowing how much I enjoy the comments I get. I don't want to offend, or come across as the creepy stalker guy.
Just figured I would let you know that I agree with you, well said.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Hey, Anytime I am being a bother, I will gladly take being told to get lost as a hint. I do have a tendancy to PM you with random silly stuff that's off the wall. Not everyone has time for it.
But Marty said it best, boundaries are important and if someone can't respect the "i'm busy right now." yadda yadda. That's something they need to deal with.
Communication Recommendations | Through the Eyes of Death
[...] week, Anna posted about communication troubles she's had dealing with random people on this wonderful tool known as the Internet. If you [...]
I've came to this comment box, started, and deleted several times now. Primarily because I don't yet know you all /that/ well and thus didn't end up wanting to become one of those that fall within the content of your post. I only ended up here through Arrens' post and link.
Besides that, all I really had to say before was that I totally approved and agreed, and heaven help me if I ever DID end up within this list of behaviours, don't hesitate in letting me know in no uncertain terms.
Now though, I have one to add to the list. It's one I faced a long time ago during AC1 and SB for that matter when I was a GL. It's happening again now though with someone sometimes:
If I don't answer you, don't login to play with you when I'm at home and otherwise occupied, or otherwise don't respond to you in the way you want, it isn't because I hate you, no longer find your company to be pleasant.. However.. Constantly saying these things for reassurance will quickly make them a self fulfilling prophecy.
Hi! I'm Anna.
I ramble, have too many hobbies, and post anything that strikes my fancy. On any given day, I might be knitting, sewing, working on my house, presenting a recipe or discussing something deeper. Though maybe food can be pretty deep too.
Stay awhile and look around, who knows what you'll find?

Hi, Seventeen. Amanda here, and today I'm going to show you how to make the perfect DIY friendship bracelet for you and your clique. What you're going to need for this DIY is a two inch piece of chain bank you can get from any art supply store and three different colors of silk and cord. First what you're going to do is cut the three different colors into six two-foot long pieces. I chose three different variations of the color purple but you can choose three totally different colors and anything else you want. Next, what you're going to do is take three of the pieces and loop them through the first chain link. You're going to pull it so the chain link is in the middle. Then you're going to repeat that same step on the other side. Double check to make sure both sides are pretty even. Then what I'm going to do is take one end of the string to the table, so that it's secure when I braid the one end. Just separate the string by color and braid. You might have an extra few inches of strings but that's okay because then it's easier for you to tie on your friend's wrist and you can always cut those extra pieces off. You're going to finish the braid by knotting it at the end. These braided bracelets are really fun, you can always add them to your arm party and stack them up with other colors and other bracelets. And then you're going to repeat the braid on the other side. Secure that second braid with another knot. And that's all you need to do to make this awesome friendship bracelets.

10 - October Rose Zircon Birthstone Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The subtle pink color of October doesn't boldly announce that October 5 is the most common birthday in the USA. Sometimes the colors we receive vary slightly from what is shown.
Material: Glass Ball
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

When Punk Rock, Tattoos, and Birding Collide
Paul Riss is shattering the mold, proving that birdwatchers can come in all styles.
Paul Riss is in love with birds. He spent 2011 crisscrossing Ontario, searching for hundreds of species. He'll happily stalk a rare bird for hours. He even gave his children the middle names Thrasher and Wren. To put it lightly, he's kind of fanatical about birds. But he's also passionate about his unique punk rock style--and about melding the two.
To show that birders come in all sorts and professions, Riss set out to do a "big year," counting as many species as he could in 365 days in Ontario. He also took up the challenge for another purpose: to break birdwatcher stereotypes and inspire young people to try the hobby. "Birdwatchers are little old ladies with blue hair and field vests," Riss says, conjuring the typical image of his kin. Although there's nothing wrong with that kind of birder, Riss adds, he wanted to show that there are other types out there, too. To help in that effort, he's documenting his success in ink.
His appearance is unusual for most 42-year-olds: He occasionally sports a mohawk--a vestige from his younger days--and drives a bright-yellow 1974 Plymouth Duster. Even more striking is his skin, an image-covered canvas. At last count Riss had 15 tattoos. In the next few months he plans to get 230 more--one for each bird species he saw in 2011.
Riss started what he called his Punk Rock Big Year two Januarys ago, an effort reminiscent of bird expert and Audubon field editor Kenn Kaufman's 1973 big year (chronicled in his book Kingbird Highway). Riss wasn't an experienced birder at the start, so he turned to Kaufman and Canadian birders Richard Pope and Margaret Bain. He called Kaufman out of the blue, asking whether to pursue this at all, what places to focus on if he did, and whether, when he moved onto the inking phase, he should use the birds' scientific or English names. (They concluded scientific names--fewer letters.) "He wanted to know if I saw any sort of downside to his approach," Kaufman says. His response? "Absolutely not. The image of birdwatchers being Miss Jane Hathaway from The Beverly Hillbillies has been so persistent that anything we can do to shake things up is good."
Pope, who completed a big year in 2007 and wrote a book about the experience, and Bain spent hundreds of hours with Riss, taking him to the best birding spots and teaching him birdcalls. From day one, the unlikely trio became good friends. "We made plans to go birding," Pope says. "I met up with him in a random parking lot, and we went birding on January 2."
Whenever possible (he did have a full-time job in advertising), Riss went searching with his binoculars around his neck, gradually gaining more knowledge and adding to his list. In January he saw a red-tailed hawk, in the spring a great horned owl, and in the fall a ruddy turnstone. He counted his favorite bird of the year--the smew--on December 27, with just four days to go. He recorded the process on video (he'll release the final documentary in 2013) and a blog titled Punk Rock Big Year: A Year's Worth of Birds and Tattoos.
By the end of 2011, Riss came up shy of the record 338 species seen in the province. But he says that doesn't detract from his experience, his 234 species, and his chance to mold a new generation of birders. (He does regret leaving his wife at home with two sick children on one occasion, and not taking a long drive to see just one more species.) He's started doing outreach to a younger audience, through Kenn and Kimberley Kaufman's Young Birders Conference. And slowly but surely, he's permanently etching the year onto his body, one tattoo at a time (in Sailor Gothic Regular font, if you're curious).
"The oddness of the whole thing, the anomaly of having birding and punk rock somehow connected . . ." Pope says, trailing off. "You don't think of punk rockers as being conservationists, ecologists, and definitely not into birds and birding. Here's a guy bringing two unlikely, disparate fields together." With luck, that commingling Riss brought to life will show anyone who cares to look just how universal birds can be.

Is there any suggestions anyone can give us, we are at wits end with the nasty mosquitoes in our backyard every summer. My kids cannot go outside without having bites looking like they've been attacked. I always go around and check the house for ANY standing water. We have arborvitaes next to our deck for privacy, could they be hiding there? I was told they do and was thinking of removing the arbs but want to be sure first. It seems as soon as we come out onto the deck and being outside they're there. It's very annoying to have to go in at dusk or use repellant. We have an inground pool with salt not chlorine, but I don't think that's a suitable place to lay eggs. We have a lot of trees in the back of our yard. I'm just fed up with us and the kids getting eaten alive. We use the fogger, but that just goes away. Any other suggestions? I'll take any advice I can get to alleviate these terrible vampires. Thanks! |

Check your neighbors as well. I had the same problem and found a neighbor with several vessels collecting rainwater to water plants. The containers were FULL of mosquito larva! |
My neighbor has a large pond and doesn't try to stop skeeters from breeding at all, so we have to cover up to avoid the vampires.. |
I would say adding mosquito dunks, the donut looking things that stop maturing of skeeter larvae would be the best solution, but WHO will pay for these Skeeter dunks? |
I just may buy some of these dunks. The neighbors with the pond have a lanai, and we don't. I may pay for and add them for June and July, at least. I hear bullfrogs in the evening, but they can't keep up, maybe we need more bullfrogs. I guess I can add some skeeter dunks, but not a lot. The bullfrogs will eat the rest. If I stop all the skeeters from hatching, the bullfrogs will starve. Maybe I'll save up for a lanai, basically a screened in porch. |
Iin the 70's today, and I was walking around my yard and stopped to talk to a neighbor and had 2 little skeeters land on me. They didn't get a chance to do any blood sucking, I smashed em' in time, but the sure came out of hibernation quick over the 2-3 warm days here. Today we will get some 20's for a while, then back to warmth, maybe the cold will zap some. |
Are mosquitoes scent-driven? I think they might be... We've had good success with a product called pcs choice by cedarcide, it's mostly pure cedar oil, harmless to people and animals and doesn't affect sight-driven insects like bees and other pollinators. Remedying the source of the skeeters is obviously the best solution, but using the cedarcide around your house and yard may at least help to keep them out of your yard. |
Emore, I wonder if pure cedar oil, like you can get from nature stores or some websites that sell aroma therapy oils, would be okay. Of course we would have to dilute it with olive oil or better (but more expensive) Jojoba oil. I may try that. I have the Jojoba oil already. It's a good skin moisturizer. |

I'd like to have a washer and dryer installed in my apartment. Basically starting from scratch, and having a small laudry room put in. The rules of my building are that I can only put in a non-vented dryer. I don't know anything about these, and haven't been able to learn much online. I think what I probably want is a "condensation" type dryer. Does that seem accurate?
What brand/model would be best? I've heard that the Bosch make a good set, but I can't get information about the models, and what their features are. My preference would be to get a full size washer and dryer that stack (sort of like the Whirlpool Duet), but if they have to be side by side I could do that - I don't want to sacrifice capacity. Drying time is also a consideration. I know I won't get the same quick drying time as my mom gets in the suburbs with a vented gas dryer, but what can I expect? Thanks for any help and insights. Any suggestions for websites that have info would also be appreciated, but it's hard to imagine anything better than this forum. |

Funny you ask. A few days I told a coworker about my new Asko washer and dryer. Coincidentally, he and his wife have an Asko washer and dryer in their condo and he said they love it now that they are used to the humidity. What humidity? Turns out my dryer is vented but his is a condenser dryer. In a condenser dryer, moisture that would otherwise be vented is either collected in a cup and manually emptied or drained out through a tube connected to a drain; his is the latter. I don't know if all condenser dryers generate humidity. Drying can take a couple of hours depending on the size of the load. Most washer/dryers of this type are small European units, but I believe LG may make a larger one. |
We have the smaller LG combo unit. I have to say, it doesn't really affect the humidity level around the unit. I understand some units are pretty bad about that, but not this unit. With any condensing dryer, you are going to see significantly longer dry times. With our unit, it's about 3 hours for the normal dry cycle. They do come out super hot/dry, though. No experience with the separate units. I do understand the separate condensing driers have a better system of removing excess lint. That's something our combo unit doesn't do and it sucks. Check out AJ Madison's condensing sets. Since you are in NYC, they might have some in their showrooms. In DC here, and we had to do our shopping online, so you might get the benefit of checking them out in person first. Good luck! |
look at the Miele condenser unit - it is the best there is a show room/gallery in NYC wher you can see it the showroom is owned by Miele - address is on their web site |
Thanks so much for the help. I've seen AJ Madison online and didn't realize they're actually located right in Brooklyn. I'll go check them out. I'm hoping they even have the Miele, otherwise I'll got to the showroom as kerbosch suggests. |

From: NY, United States
Genre: Classical, Ambient, New Age
My music style has hints of my favorite classical composers but is today considered ambient. It is emotionally charged piano instrumental that is like the month of March. It comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. I try to take my music to as many different places and times as possible.
The majority of the music I write is considered very soothing and relaxing and will sometimes be joined by strings or flute. I am keeping real music alive with my playing and composing.
The biggest influence…

First, this was stolen from Dirty Tackle. So to assuage myself of any guilt for stealing from the master, to wit: Brooks Peck is insanely funny. If you don't read his blog, you're kind of a weirdo. Chances are you probably do anyway because he's a phenom.
Okay, so the reason I linked to this is…what's the deal with Arcade Fire's permanent influence on advertising soundtracks? I mean, these riffs could be directly from Funeral. This is now the gold standard of elevator music. It's not even particularly appropriate here. Anyway, that's all.

AVnu Alliance Looks to Advance Automotive Requirements for AVB Gen2
Beaverton, OR - Oct 9, 2012 - The AVnu Alliance, an industry forum dedicated to certifying interoperable Audio Video Bridging (AVB) products, has formed the AVnu Automotive AVB Gen2 Council (AAA2C), following a kick-off meeting held in September in Regensburg, Germany. The AAA2C is a committee of automotive industry experts that will collectively identify automotive requirements for future development of the second generation of AVB standards.
Designed to meet the needs of high-quality synchronized audio and video, the current IEEE AVB standards are adopted in many markets including automotive and professional A/V. AVB Gen2 is considered the next the evolutionary step forward to meet widespread usage of the technology beyond audio and video applications. Now in development within the IEEE, AVB Gen2 expands functionality in areas such as time-sensitive transmission, ultra-low latency, and fault tolerance.
The AVnu Alliance has formed the AAA2C to provide a forum for education and discussion around AVB, and examine the automotive industry's requirements for AVB Gen2. The AAA2C is encouraging participation from AVnu Alliance members and other companies in the automotive industry.

text: After centuries of oppressive Ottoman rule, the Arab world began to find new vitality and freedom in the twentieth century. The accompanying resurgence of creative expression is splendidly reflected in this definitive anthology of contemporary Arabic poetry, which spans the modern Arab world from the turn of the century to the present, from the Arab Gulf to Morocco. The editor, Salma Khadra Jayyusi, a renowned expert on modern Arabic literature, presents a through introduction to the works of more than ninety Arab poets. To create the best possible English translation, each selection has been translated first by a bilingual expert and then by an English-language poet, who creatively renders it into idiomatic English.

For many, Friday represents the end of a long work week that's filled with heavy doses of drudging, sludging and other words that don't actually exist but rhyme with "udging" and connote menial and tedious tasks that are ultimately distasteful. It's my hope that at the end of such misery, at that moment in time that only occurs on a Friday afternoon when it's too far away from closing time to leave work early, but too late in the day to start anything new, you'll join us here to read some random observations about baseball and contribute your own thoughts on the subjects that are broached.
So, without further ado, I present this week's Ten Stray Thoughts On A Friday:
Cliff Lee. The Best.
Philadelphia Phillies starter Cliff Lee had one of those Cliff Lee starts that I like to spend a lot of time writing about. He did that thing he does where the catcher sets up his glove and the ball falls out of Cliff Lee's hand as though the leather of the ball is magnetized to the leather of the glove. The results were eight innings of work in which the pitcher gave up only two hits, no walks and no runs while striking out eight batters.
It seems that there are many amazing things to come out of a Cliff Lee start, and Thursday's outing versus the Atlanta Braves was no different. For instance, look at how frequently he pitches to the outside against left-handed batters:
And see how he does it to right-handed batters:
Lee induced 13 swinging strikes, but he did so in a manner that even if contact was to be made, it's unlikely that the ball would've gone anywhere threatening. This is why we see the left-hander throw cutters to lefties and change ups to righties that move away from the different handed batters swings. It's also interesting to note that of the cutters he does throw to right handed batters, they're the pitches most often coming inside, following a two-seamer of similar velocity that moves in almost the exact opposite way.
That approach isn't unique, it's Lee's command of the strike zone that makes his results with this approach unique.
In fact, the only thing better than Cliff Lee's command is when he ends the inning with a fly ball. By the time the outfielder catches the ball for the final out, Lee is almost always on the dugout steps, as he was last night in the very first inning. He's a lot like the first Jurassic Park movie, technically sound, emotionally riveting and exhibiting just the right amount of irreverence.
We saw a similar start from San Francisco Giants left-handed starter Madison Bumgarner on Tuesday night, when he went eight innings, allowing only two hits, no walks, no runs and striking out six. Of the 101 pitches that Bumgarner threw, only 25 were balls. This will be the southpaw's fourth season in the league, and it's expected that his emergence as a top of the rotation starter will continue.
What we might easily forget is that Bumgarner is only 23-years-old. Here is a partial list of players that are older than the Giants phenomenon:
- Trevor Rosenthal;
- Tyler Chatwood;
- Randall Delgado;
- Nathan Eovaldi;
- Jake Odorizzi;
- Phillipe Aumont;
- Matt Harvey;
- Chris Archer;
- Jarrod Parker;
- Wily Peralta;
- Matt Moore;
- Chris Sale;
- Rick Porcello;
- Addison Reed; and
- Stephen Strasburg.
It's sort of like how the kids in Jurassic Park act beyond their age to contribute to the efforts of the survivors.
Jose Bautista's Displeasure
Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista has a tendency to display his displeasure with an umpire's calls a tad more frequently than the typical baseball player. On Tuesday night, Bautista attempted to show up home plate umpire Jeff Nelson after being called out on a third strike from Justin Masterson in the fifth inning.
According to Pitch FX, it was in the strike zone.
And according to anyone watching, it was certainly the location of a pitch that one should consider swinging at with a two-strike count. However, instead of admitting to being handcuffed by a 12 miles per hour change in velocity from the previous pitch and an incredibly different looking break on the pitch, Bautista instead blamed the umpire.
John Lott of the National Post asked Bautista about the incident:
The Toronto Blue Jays slugger said he was "a little irritated about the fact that everybody is trying to point the finger at me." He also said that when he checks video of disputed pitches, he finds that the umpire was wrong 70% to 80% of the time.
"Sometimes I have trouble more than other players dealing with my production being affected by somebody else's mediocrity," he said. "It's just the way I am as a person. It's a tougher pill to swallow for me sometimes."
The comments aren't exactly going to do him any favors, as these are exactly the type of words (coupled with his reputation for visible reactions) that umpires tend to remember. I'd also wager that Bautista's competitiveness isn't so much beyond that of other baseball players that he can't find a means of protest that's less visible, and therefore less likely to cause a negative reaction in the future.
I know that the intangibles of Derek Jeter are often exaggerated to the point of being vomit inducing for the least among critical thinkers, but his handling of disagreements with umpires is correctly championed. While he argues balls and strikes far more often than his supporters might lead you to believe, the polite nature of his protest without visible dismay meant for the benefit of the audience results in fewer repercussions and the illusion of increased respect for those officiating the game.
For the record, Bautista isn't persecuted by "mediocrity" more than any other batter. If anything, he's treated more fairly than most. So, perhaps there is something to his overreactions.
He's a bit like Dr. Ian Malcolm in the first Jurassic Park. Overall, he's a good guy to have on your team, but this is in spite of some of his more selfish tendencies.
Pitching In Colorado
Dan Rozenson has a guest column this week at Baseball Prospectus in which he examines how different pitch types work in the thin air of Coors Field. I'm not a big fan of statistical analysis that breaks down to the point of individual pitches because there's just so much unaccounted noise including the chain of pitches that led to the one resulting in the outcome, the count at the time that each pitch is thrown, the amount of times that a batter has seen a different pitch and the failure to account for the differences between the same classified pitch from different pitchers.
However, Rozenson does push his readers to consider a big picture concept that I hadn't really thought of before. It's the type of idea that seems obvious only after it's expressed. We consider pitchers in Colorado to be at a severe disadvantage because of the thinness of the air at a higher altitude. This causes balls to travel farther and faster once their struck by a bat. However, the unfamiliar environment would also lead to pitchers not being able to rely on the typical movement of their pitches. According to his research, the Colorado Rockies would be better off finding pitchers that use a slider as their primary breaking pitch rather than a curve ball.
It's a bit like the genetic confusion different species are caused by introducing dinosaur DNA, without knowing how it will adapt, into an unknown environment millions of years after it was rendered extinct.
The Designated Hitter
ESPN's Christina Kahrl opened up discussion on this matter once again when she wrote a post for the SweetSpot blog suggesting that it's time for the National League to embrace the designated hitter rule. We all have personal preferences. Some of us enjoy more offense and more competitive pitcher/batter confrontations. Others enjoy strategical dilemmas faced by managers and additional influences beyond performance on when a pitcher should be pulled.
Overall, it does seem strange that the two leagues operate under the exact same set of rules save for this one alteration. It also seems unfair that the two leagues are expected to compete against each other throughout each season while being built primarily to compete against teams in their own league. Personally, I think the rules should be altered so that the home team ahead of every game can decide whether or not it wishes to play with or without a designated hitter.
The argument against this line of thinking is that a team wants a certain measure of stability when it comes to roster construction. Why bother signing David Ortiz to a large contract extension if you never know if he'll be able to start for your team from day to day?
However, in addition to handing control over to the home team, MLB could also implement roster rules that allow for a taxi squad of players to be useable game to game. What I'm thinking is that the active roster could be expanded to 27 or 28 players, while only 25 are allowed to be dressed for each game.
Any concerns the MLBPA might have over lost revenue to potential designated hitters whose playing time might be limited would be allayed by the additional jobs at the MLB level. These jobs would most likely be given to veterans because teams wouldn't want to limit the development of prospects by starting their service time early or limiting their playing time. Alternatively, it would also give visiting managers more options to combat the the daily decisions of their opposition.
It would also create more drama and intrigue in the decision-making that leads up to each and every game.
It's a bit like the Jurassic Park sequels in that there are definitely innovative ideas that could be implemented, but tradition often ends up getting in the way and diminishes the entire franchise.
Keep Dreaming Montreal
Just as the designated hitter rule comes up as an annual topic of conversation, it seems that every year, at least since 2005, people wonder wistfully about Major League Baseball returning to Montreal. No one would ever deny that there exist people in Montreal that love baseball and would support a team. No one would disagree that Montreal is one of the 20 largest metropolises in North America. No one would suggest that having baseball back in a culture as unique as Montreal's isn't a great thing. It's all just so wonderful.
Unfortunately, even the strongest nostalgia doesn't afford what corporate sponsorship does, and corporate sponsorship would prove difficult in Montreal, even if you could find an owner not frightened off by the history of failure for the ownership of the Montreal Expos.
As Tom Tango recently wrote:
Charles Bronfman sold it at a discount, and we still couldn't make it survive. We needed a consortium of all the big businesses in Quebec, just to keep it alive, and we still needed Loria to bail us out. And this fantastic wonderful park below? In the PERFECT spot. And we couldn't make that happen either. It's about the money, and the money just doesn't work.
What I don't understand is where does the wishful thinking come from? Who is constantly imagining this to be a possibility? Major League Baseball isn't talking about expanding. There have been no legitimate rumors about relocations. Major League Baseball in Montreal isn't going to happen for the foreseeable future. It's over.
It's kind of like re-watching Jurassic Park. No matter how much nostalgia you attach to the film, you'll never be able to go back to witness it for the very first time. It's simply impossible.
Foul Ball Reactionaries
You're going to see that GIF above, and your attention will be drawn to the funny reaction of the kid in the second row, who is utterly astounded by the Brendan Harris fouling back an Aroldis Chapman offering on Wednesday. But wait. Look below him, at the elderly woman in the first row whose scream of terror represents the howling of one whose entire life flashes before their eyes.
It's sort of like raptors attacking. They'll let you see the one straight in front, while the raptor you should really be watching is the one attacking on the side.
Not Superstitious, Just A Bit Stitious
The New York Times baseball blog, efficiently titled Bats, has a great story of Louisville Slugger's pursuit of building a harder bat. It's a good story about innovation, and it stands to reason that Louisville has remained at the forefront of the bat industry given its commitment to improvement and staying on the leading edge of technology associated with its product.
However, the most amusing part of the story comes from their efforts to collect feedback before any change to the look and feel of their brand of bats was to take place.
Many players were less concerned with the oval than with what was just outside of it — since 1930, the company has boasted, next to the logo, that its bats are "Powerized," the word accompanied by a bolt of lightning.
The major leaguers insisted that their bats keep this talisman, as if it made balls go over fences. "Some players, like Jay Bruce, were very anxious about this, saying, 'What will happen to my Powerized bat?'" Schlegel said. "So we are keeping that word on our pro player and elite bats."
I just love that given the efforts of the company, this is what's most concerning to Major League Baseball players. Remember this story the next time someone discredits your opinion because you haven't played the game at a high level.
It's sort of like how John Hammond ignores the science of evolution and the way in which life always finds a way, in order to chase the myth of what he's building through Jurassic Park. He attempts to reap the benefits of science without really understanding its capabilities.
Bringing Back Valverde
A day after Phil Coke blew a save on Wednesday, the Detroit Tigers signed former closer Jose Valverde to a Minor League contract. Valverde collected 84 saves for the team over the last two seasons with a large portion of advanced metrics suggesting this was the result of luck and not necessarily skill. This came to be seen rather harshly in the 2012 playoffs when Valverde was crushed by opposing batters, sending the previously proud reliever in his last outing of the year to the dugout in tears after blowing a game for his team.
While Minor League contracts are the least risky proposition in baseball, the idea of trying Valverde out one more time in this role seems like backwards thinking. Nonetheless, the team risks nothing given its current situation and the lack of trust that manager Jim Leyland seems to have in the closer by committee set up he's currently running. Tigers fans simply have to hope that Valverde being given yet another chance doesn't hinder the development of Bruce Rondon, who remains at Triple A Rochester, as the likely best option for the team's relief needs.
It's sort of like imagining that the eye sight of an attacking Tyrannosaurus Rex is based on movement and exercising a defense that consists of being incredibly still. It may or may not be true, but the alternative is merely running, and it's just not viable considering the speed at which a T-Rex can chase.
Baseball Is Back
I went to a Major League Baseball game on Wednesday night as a fan. Everything about it was perfect. I missed baseball so much that I didn't even mind forking over outrageous sums of money for beer. It's sort of like buying food and drinks from the concessions of the movie theatre at which I go to see Jurassic Park 3D this weekend, which is going to be the best ever.

Tiny Fonts In X
By guessing my way around menu's i managed to find a font box for something, turned that particular font right up and it was just about big enough to be readable. Is their away i can get my fonts back to normal size from command line?
I have tried reinstalling mandrake but apparently it kept my existing X configuration file.
thanks, Ben.

Goto the commandline and run the commandline X-server configuration program, the commands are xf86cfg and xf86config, the latter just generates a new config file while the first runs a semi-text windowed configuration program to create a new one. Try both and see what you get.
EDIT: Boot into text-only mode, or else these tools will complain that X is still running. So don't use virtual consoles.Nothing is worse than ten penguins fighting over which is better, vi or emacs.

text: | Really Chris Perez?June 5, 2013 - Dana SulonenReally? Seriously? Are you that big of an idiot? Those were the thoughts that ran through my head when I heard Wednesday that Chris Perez was under investigation after suspected marijuana was delivered to his home. According to the Associated Press, drug agents are investigating a suspected marijuana shipment mailed to Perez's home. Rocky River Police Chief Kelly Stillman said city officers, a regional narcotics unit and postal inspectors were involved in Tuesday's daylong operation investigating a delivery to Perez's home in the lakeside Cleveland suburb. No charges have been filed and the matter remains under investigation. Obviously the first question is: Who has drugs delivered to their house in Rocky River, Ohio? I mean seriously? Though the old standard of "innocent until proven guilty" should hold up in this situation, for myself, and I'm sure many other Cleveland Indians fans, this is Perez's third strike — and he should be out. Last year, Perez angered fans by calling them out for not coming to games. He's also had words with management about them not spending money. So strike one is with the fans, strike two is with ownership. Now possible strike three comes from Cleveland Police. His performance this year has been a shaky one at best, leaving the Indians in a place where if Perez is found guilty, they aren't losing much in terms of his place in the bullpen. Currently, he's on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, but even before he went on DL, something has not been right with him. He's never been the consistent closer the Indians have sought after, especially in 2013. Does any Indians' fan not hold their breath when they see him running on the field in the ninth inning? I sure do. This could be the straw that breaks the camel's back for Perez on the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. If he is found guilty, the Indians should waive him and finally make Joe Smith the closer (like they should have done a long time ago). I said at the beginning of the season Perez would not finish 2013 as the Indians' closer. I just never thought it would be because of a legal issue. Article Comments(1)countyresidentJun-08-13 9:03 AM The marijuana was a dumb thing for him to do. Stating the obvious about the fans and management was true. But not a wise thing to do. He is charged with a misdemeanor. MLB will punish him more severely than the court system. I hope he recovers from his current injury and returns to the Tribe in his All Star form.

Policies and Procedures
Visitation Guidelines
Visiting hours are from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Visitors are welcome throughout the day, and one support person is welcome to stay overnight. To protect the newborn from colds and infectious diseases, we recommend that children other than siblings do not visit and that you limit visitors. Children need to be accompanied by an adult other than the patient at all times. Visitors should not handle the baby if they have any of the following: fever, cold, diarrhea, an open sore, chicken pox, measles or any contagious disease. Everyone should wash his/her hands with soap and water before handling the baby.
Waiting Room Rules
- Lights must remain on at all times.
- Visitors are not to bring lounge chairs, cots, mattresses or appliances into the hospital. (If there is a special need, you may speak with the unit director or clinical house supervisor.)
- In the event the waiting area is overcrowded with a large family, several members may be asked to wait in the hospital lobby.
- Please do not wait in the hallways. This interferes with the privacy of our patients and safety for everyone.
- Please do not use cellular phones in any patient care area. This may interfere with the patient monitoring equipment.
- For the courtesy and comfort of other families in the waiting area, please keep the noise level to a minimum.
Photos and Videotape
The birth of a child provides many moments for the family scrapbook - photos or videos that will be cherished for many years. Both cameras and hand-held video cameras are permitted during labor and immediately following delivery. However, because the safety of both mother and child is of utmost importance, tripods are not allowed. Delivery procedure requires the use of medical equipment and a number of hospital personnel working quickly and efficiently. Therefore, photography or videotaping should not be done at the time of delivery. For similar reasons, no photographic equipment may be used during anesthetic procedures.
Support Person
Baptist Health Lexington allows two support people in a mother's room for a vaginal delivery, and one support person for a c-section.
Baptist Health Lexington is a tobacco-free campus. Our policy prohibits smoking and the use of any tobacco products including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, herbal tobacco products and chewing tobacco on the hospital campus as well as any facility owned or leased by the hospital. Family and visitors may purchase nicotine replacement products in the Baptist Health Lexington Gift Shop, located in the lobby area of Building E.
