On June 13, 2004, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to appoint Dr. Dena Reed the new president of BGSP. Dr. Reed had been appointed Acting President last March when Dr. Phyllis Meadow announced she was resigning from the Presidency to devote more time to the Institute for the Study of Violence. Dr. Reed brings many years of administrative experience at BGSP to her new role. She has served as Dean of Graduate Studies, Vice President of Fiscal Affairs, and most recently, as Provost. She has taken a leading role in the school's pursuit and attainment of degree programs and accreditation, most recently leading the effort to apply for the doctor of psychoanalysis degree program in Boston.
A graduate of the Boston Graduate School's Certificate Program, Dr. Reed has conducted research and taught courses over the years in psychopathology, somatic factors, as well as the fieldwork course which students take while doing an externship in a mental hospital or other residential setting. Dr. Reed studied at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Tufts Medical School and completed her residency in psychiatry at the Tufts-New England Medical Center where she served as chief resident.
Dr. Reed plans to continue the school's efforts to establish degree programs in psychoanalysis as well as gain more visibility in the academic and broader psychoanalytic communities.
Contributed by Jane SnyderThree ISV doctoral candidates have successfully defended their dissertation research before their doctoral committees, ISV co-directors and the BGSP community. They are Miriam Riss, Michal Adiv-Ginach, and Robin Pollack Gomolin.
The first student to present, Miriam Riss, presented her research project, Tolerance for violence: Comparing people's responses to two recent acts of aggression, on June 4, 2004. Mrs. Riss compared responses of randomly selected subjects in tolerating or justifying use of violence in the Dialho case to subjects responding to the September 11th violence and retaliatory action. She found that sociological variables accounted for differences in the responses to the Dialho incident (notably gender and race) whereas variables such as narrative complexity, affected by internal variables, accounted for differences in tolerance for the September 11th violence. In addition the time lapse between the September 11th violence and the date of the interview affected the degree of tolerance.
Two weeks later, June, 18, 2004, Michal Adiv-Ginach presented her study, Are we fighting for our survival? What is behind the Israeli politics of ein breira (no choice)? What are the Israeli Jews' fantasies in the context of their relationship with the Palestinians?. Mrs. Ginach's complex study included detailed psychoanalytic analysis of data from focus groups with Israelis living here and in Israel for repetitive communications and underlying, unconscious themes as well as interviews with key informants. She concluded that the societal investment in the position of victim is a defense against knowing the wish to be the victimizer perpetuating a continual enactment of living on the verge of extinction.
The third candidate, Robin Pollack Gomolin, presented her dissertation study on October 8, 2004, The Intergenerational transmission of Holocaust trauma: A systematic review of a psychoanalytic theory. Mrs. Gomolin did a careful secondary analysis of the literature on first and second generation survivors of the Holocaust. She sought to understand the disparity between findings from the psychoanalytic literature -- suggesting severe ego impairments and psychopathology in survivors and their children -- and the quantitative literature indicating that most survivors recover ego functions and integrate their traumas, i.e., there is no more psychopathology in survivors and their children than in the general population. She concludes that the theory of intergenerational transmission of trauma is based on an extremely small sample of cases treated by practitioners operating out of their countertransference response to the Holocaust. As a result of this response, these practitioners modified their technique and their framework for understanding the clinical material, rather than operating within the customary analytic mode, i.e. treating each case as an individual with a unique psychic structure. Her study is a critique of clinical theory based on distorted data collection and reporting.
The three projects met the expectations of the ISV faculty for innovative and groundbreaking research on violence as students integrate diverse theoretical perspectives and research knowledge from the three major disciplinary traditions covered in the ISV curriculum: psychoanalysis, sociocultural studies, and neuroscience.
Contributed by Jane SnyderFor the first time, BGSP has decided to accept a full entering class for the Spring, 2005 semester. So let those friends and colleagues interested in psychoanalytic training know that applications are still being accepted for Spring. Further information is available from the BGSP web site: www.bgsp.edu, or from the office by phone: (617)-277-3915 or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Boston Globe featured BGSP in its September 26, 2004 edition. The article, At Freudian school, an attempt to enlarge the couch, covered the range of academic, clinical, and community-service activities provided by the school. It can be read here.
Representing 15 countries, 26 Master's graduates and 9 Psychoanalytic Certificate graduates took the stage at the June 19th, 2004 BGSP graduation at the Holiday Inn in Brookline. Packing the room and proudly gazing on were family, friends, fellow students and faculty.
New BGSP President, Dena Reed, warmly welcomed them to the field and Dean of Graduate Studies, Jane Snyder, reviewed the training process and the contributions which graduates have made to psychoanalysis. Moderating the event was past President and current Provost, Phyllis Meadow, through her own dedication providing inspiration to the graduates as they moved ahead on the next leg of their psychoanalytic journey.
Each Certificate graduate gave a final log, a testimonial to the growth and change each had experienced in the rigorous process of becoming a psychoanalyst. Representing the Masters' students were Christopher Russell, Gohar Homayounpour, and Leah Towne, each commenting with feeling and humor on their personal and class experiences.
In closing, BGSP Alumni and faculty member John Madonna invited graduates to join the Alumni Association and continue BGSP's work in applying the principles of psychoanalysis in a multitude of fields and places. It was evident that BGSP's goals would be further carried out by the outstanding graduates!
Our graduates represented the following countries: Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Cypress, Ethiopia, Germany, Guatemala, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, and, of course, the United States.
Contributed by Linda SklarTherapists from all backgrounds encounter a variety of challenging situations in their everyday clinical work. Patients don't show up. They leave abruptly. They don't want to pay. They are frighteningly depressed or suicidal. They become physically ill. They want to attack instead of talk. Each situation is uniquely difficult and perplexing to even the most experienced therapist. BGSP is offering a series of five brown bag lunch seminars for the year 2004 to 2005 in New Hampshire to mental health practitioners to offer them a forum for case discussion. Beginning on Friday, October 29th at noon, BGSP Faculty will be presenting cases and leading discussion on clinical challenges. These will take place in Nashua, NH at the First Church. Three Continuing Education Credits will be offered; fee is $50. Subsequent seminars will be held on January 21, February 18, March 18, and April 15, 2005. Further information and registration materials are available from the BGSP web site: www.bgsp.edu, by phone: (617)-277-3915, or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The talk is Free and Open to the Public
Faculty member Faye Newsome will continue the successful Case Discussion & Supervision Forum this fall, with the next meeting being held on December 2 at 8:00 PM. All clinicians interested in discussing cases are welcome to attend.
The second art show of Gallery 1581, BGSP's exciting new gallery, will feature students of all the modern analytic institutes. The show opens Thursday, November 18th in conjunction with Washington Square's First Light Festival. We'll be open 5-9 PM that evening. A second opening night party will be held the following evening, Friday, November 19th from 7:30-9:30 PM.
We hope everyone at BGSP will come and most people will help out. Guests may be invited to either or both receptions. Contributions of food and wine are appreciated. The show will hang until the New Year.
Students and their family members may drop off framed, wired works on Friday, November 12, 3-6 PM or Saturday, November 13, 1-2:30 PM. A few tables for artisans/designers/crafts people will be available as well on both nights.
Current, former, and occasional students (as well as recent graduates who narrowly missed eligibility for the first show) are welcome to submit works.
30% of the price of works sold will go to the school and/or the gallery to pay back start-up costs and publicity. Works not for sale must be accompanied by a fee of $10 per piece. We will hang all the work we can fit. We hope you'll pitch in.

Contributed by Mara WagnerHelen Michael, faculty member at BGSP, is offering a new drop-in writing clinic on class Thursdays between 10am and 12 pm, or by appointment. The clinic is held in the Therapy Center office on the first floor of the school, and anyone wanting to discuss writing issues or a writing project is invited to stop by for a consultation.
In addition to the writing clinic, Mrs. Michael leads two groups that focus on writing blocks. Group members include BGSP students who are working on class papers or writing a thesis, and individuals from the community who want a writers group. Groups are held on class Friday and Saturday mornings.
According to Mrs. Michael, people are often blocked by such typical writing issues as anxiety about isolation and exposure. While trying to work through these issues alone can be quite difficult, input from others is often effective in resolving problems of this kind.
For more information on either the drop-in clinic or the groups, Mrs. Michael can be reached at (617)-964-8991, or email her at email@example.com.
BGSP faculty member Eugene Goldwater and ISV student Cheryl Sanders conducted a seminar on Understanding Violence at the Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Hospital in Boston. The seminar was held in response to an increase in violence among the patients and the clients that the mental health center serves.
ISV student Cheryl Sanders will also conduct a workshop on Bullying and Teasing to the Stoneham middle school through a local organization in which Ms. Sanders has been active: Stoneham Against Hate.

As a culmination of a major effort, BGSP has created a beautiful new Viewbook, as a marketing tool to introduce the school to prospective students and others. Designed in collaboration with a team of graphic designers at WGBH, it tries to convey the essence of psychoanalysis through word and image, while providing information on the school's varied programs.
The books are in and ready for you to distribute to friends, colleagues, clinics, and offices. Please help us advertise BGSP by taking a few with you. Stop by the office for copies.
The Vermont School of Psychoanalysis, BGSP's Vermont branch, will have an Open House for prospective students, Sunday, November 7 at 1:00 PM. For further information: (802) 257-0919
The BGSP Alumni Association has recently been formed with co-directors Theodore Laquercia, John Madonna, Vincent Panetta, and Patricia Hugenberger. Among the the goals of the Association is to provide a means for alumni, as an essential part of the BGSP community, to stay in touch with the school and recent developments in modern psychoanalysis. We are interested in the various things people are doing professionally since graduation and their ideas about how the BGSP training has influenced their work. The application of psychoanalytic ideas to many fields of interest continues to grow through the variety of programs offered and the diversity of interests of the BGSP community. Please E-mail this information to firstname.lastname@example.com, to the attention to Pat Hugenberger. This information will be printed in the Alumni News section of this newsletter, along with other information of interest to alumni.
Contributed by Pat HugenbergerJustin Frank, a Georgetown psychoanalyst, has published a new book - Bush on the Couch - in which he claims the "White House is occupied by an "untreated ex-alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies." See the new York Daily News article: President's analyst? Doctor puts 'Bush on the Couch'
Another book by a psychoanalyst with a positive take on President Bush: In His Father's Shadow : The Transformations of George W. Bush. See also the New York Times article: Bush's Possession of Saddam's Gun Both Freudian and Traditional.
Yet another psychoanalytic take on the current political situation in the US: Shrinking Bush: S.F. psychologist argues that hyper-masculinity is undermining the American political culture. This is an article based on Bay-area psychoanalyst Stephen J. Ducat's new book: The Wimp Factor : Gender Gaps, Holy Wars, and the Politics of Anxious Masculinity.
Surprisingly, the CEO of Novartis a major pharmaceutical company, is actually a trained psychoanalysis. In an interview, he talks of the value of analytic training for business: CEO's Feelings Are a Factor In Critical Business Decisions. About psychoanalysis he says "'It gave me freedom to behave as I am rather than how I [or others] think I ought to,' Dr. Vasella says."

Young Dr. Freud, a movie originally made for Australian TV, is now available on DVD. It covers his life from age 4 till he published his first book.
Contributed by Stephen SoldzWe know how difficult it is for psychoanalysts to define who they are, either to others or to themselves. As soon as they are questioned about their identity or the nature of their work, one sees them struggling in a state of confusion which suggests that their embarrassment may betray a need a need to hide something shameful. They are hesitant in describing what they do; they do not like being confined to their role as therapists (although they also protest whenever there is an attempt to call this function into question) and they cannot agree either to being classified as hermeneutists. Contemporary psychoanalytic literature bears witness to the uneasiness of psychoanalysts in situating themselves; none of the clothes which they are invited to put on seem to fit the image which they wish to present of themselves, although they are unable to say exactly what that is.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Buttons!
Facts about Buttons
- Breed: Scottie, Scottish Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Buttons's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Buttons is a little fella weighing only 6 lbs and is around 14 weeks old. He is a typical happy and playful pup and will stay small when grown. As are most Terriers, he is smart and very alert and should be easily trained but mostly he is extremely loving! He has had 3 rounds of puppy shots and worming and has been neutered. If you are interested in more information about this dog, or you would like to apply, you may email firstname.lastname@example.com or paste the following link into your browser.
It will answer most of your questions and you can also access an application to apply from there
Other Pets at Pooches & Purrs Cooperative - Harrisonburg, VA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buttons, a Harrisonburg Scottie, Scottish Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Scottie, Scottish Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Harrisonburg, or seeking a Scottie, Scottish Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in Harrisonburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Harrisonburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Harrisonburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Scottie, Scottish Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Scottie, Scottish Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Harrisonburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

West Africans in Colonial Mississippi Traveling TrunkThe West Africans in Colonial Mississippi Traveling Trunk concentrates on that group's history in the area, how they came to be here, and their customs and cultural contributions. Contained in the trunk are objects that illustrate traditional West African ways, such as a woven paper hanging, traditional strip-woven cloth, a glass trade bead necklace, wooden and paper masks, traditional African games, and a balafon a musical instrument similar to a marimba. A sixty-nine page teacher's notebook offers five days of lesson plans and associated activities along with numerous background and support materials. The first lesson allows the teacher to evaluate the class's familiarity with the subject, then introduces the slave trade and the importation of West Africans by the French in the early 1700s. The West African game of mancala is taught, along with step-by-step instructions for making mancala games. The second lesson focuses on West African people and the world's political landscape at the time of the slave trade, and traces the influence of Arabic cultures in the region. Traditional West African crafts including mask-making, story-telling, and cloth production are demonstrated. A mental arithmetic activity using traditional cowrie-shell money is also included. Lesson three addresses colonialism, slavery, and the Middle Passage. Students will become familiar with the location and use of the Middle Passage by way of a mapping activity. They will also learn about Ibrahima, a West African prince forced into slavery, and will participate in a skit depicting his capture. A video of Ibrahima is provided. The fourth lesson concerns slavery in the French colonies. Copies of the "Code Noir" (Black Code) are provided in order to stimulate discussion among students concerning slaves' rights and restrictions. A graph reading activity is used to reveal population trends among Africans and Europeans during the eighteenth century. In the final lesson, "Africans, Creolization, and Contributions," students learn of some of the contributions of West Africans to our region. Activities focus on Creole language and cooking. The Traveling Trunk Program was developed for use with fourth- through twelfth-grade classes. Trunks are available September through November and January through May. The trunks are designed to be used as a one- to two-week unit and will be shipped the week before they are to be used in the classroom to allow the teacher to become familiar with the contents. The trunks should be returned on the Monday following the completion of the teaching unit. Trunks must be shipped FedEx, USPS, or UPS and insured for $500. Teachers may choose to transport the trunks to the Museum themselves. The Traveling Trunk Program was developed with funding from the Phil Hardin Foundation of Meridian. Additional funding was provided by BellSouth and BellSouth Pioneers. For more information or to book this trunk call 601-576-6800. |

Seminar on Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams
The Domestic Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams (SEED) Seminar will be held on July 14-18, 2014.
Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com (email@example.com) with any questions.
For the International Seminar, please visit http://www.usbr.gov/international/seminars.html
Because the often-catastrophic consequences of dam failure are unacceptable, the need for trained personnel is essential. This seminar provides attendees with comprehensive instruction in dam safety examination and evaluation. Although references will be made to organizational procedures and units of Reclamation, the principles, concepts, and procedures are readily adaptable to any organization conducting a regulatory or in-house dam safety program for existing dams.
The basic seminar emphasizes the importance of dam safety and provides information and instruction in dam safety surveillance, including periodic review of pertinent records, visual examination, and monitoring of instrumentation. Hydrologic considerations, concrete repair, remedial measures for dams, and emergency action planning are also discussed. The seminar is suitable for engineers, technicians, maintenance personnel, and administrators responsible for dams.
The seminar includes a visit to local Colorado dams to practice inspection techniques.
In addition to the basic seminar, three concurrent workshops are being presented on Thursday afternoon to provide more information on the following subject areas:
- Engineering Geology and Dam Safety Workshop presents an introduction to geologic investigation and evaluation relative to dam safety static and seismic issues.
- Evaluation and Response to Seepage and Internal Erosion Concerns presents seepage process and failure modes, types of sinkhole formations, and approaches for investigating and responding to seepage and internal erosion conditions.
- Emergency Management presents key elements of a dam owner's responsibilities regarding facility operations, namely detection, decision making, and notification and how to exercise those responsibilities through simulated events.
Training Staff
The seminar instructors will consist of a group of professional engineers and geologists who have a great deal of experience and knowledge in the areas of design, construction, operation, maintenance, instrumentation, and dam safety evaluation. Many of the instructors have conducted training programs for Reclamation and other US and foreign personnel involved in dam safety.
Participants will be responsible for their own transportation to and from Denver International Airport. Shuttle services are available (Super Shuttle, www.supershuttledenver.com , 1-800-BLUE VAN (258-3826), or phone 303-370-1300), with a fare of about $30.00 each way for each passenger. The RTD Skyride, Route Schedule AF (http://www.rtd-denver.com/skyRide_SubHome.shtml for information on rates and schedules) is available to the Cold Springs Park-N-Ride (ends about 3 blocks from the Hampton and Homewood hotel complex), with a fare of $13 each way for each passenger. Reclamation will provide transportation to and from the dam sites during the field trip on Wednesday.
The seminar will be held at the Fish & Wildlife Service Building, 134 Union Boulevard, Lakewood, CO 80228. There are three hotels within walking distance, the Hampton Inn, located at 137 Union Blvd, (303) 969-9900, Homewood Suites by Hilton located at 139 Union Blvd, (303) 716-5737, and the Sheraton Denver West Hotel (720) 963-2030 located about 3 blocks from the seminar. A limited number of rooms at the government rate are blocked at each of these hotels. Room rates are $156 per night single (before taxes). To make hotel reservations, call the hotels directly before June 9, 2014 and refer to the Group "Bureau of Reclamation SEED SEMINAR" to receive the government rate. Rooms at the government rate will be released on June 9, so please try to reserve your room prior to this date.
Government rate lodging at each location includes complimentary full breakfast buffet. Additionally, an evening reception with light meal and beverages is also complimentary at the Homewood suites. The Sheraton includes club level access.

What graphics card are you using. Do you really need GUI since it's a server? I'd probably buy a cheap Nvidia graphics card (used if you can get it), that should be easy to settup.

I find some comfortable shoes
I don't know about you, but as I've gotten older, I've had to resort to wearing "comfortable" shoes. I don't mind them, as they feel louboutin outlet great, but sometimes they look a bit clunky, sort of like having horse hoofs on the ends of your feet. I've seen several pairs that even use Velcro instead of laces for those christian louboutin outlet uk whose arthritis has come marching in. I'm not there yet.
You'd think if we're able to do stem cell research that we could come up with good looking shoes that are comfortable.
I louboutin pigalle think all those "pretty" shoes I wore in the '80s and '90s contributed to my foot problems as I got older. I'm blessed with my mother's hammertoes and bunions, christian louboutin boots so that's not a great way to start, but the high heels I wore certainly didn't help. Cramming your feet into tiny arrows, with spikes sticking out at end of them isn't natural.
I'm louboutin wedding shoes sure men invented high heels, but you never see them wearing them, unless you visit West Hollywood or New Orleans.
Lately, I've been wearing tennis shoes mulberry outlet online most of the time, which is kind of like having pillows on the bottom of your feet. I'm trying to find a pair of loafers that feel as good as tennis shoes, but I'm shooting blanks mulberry outlet store these days. A girl just wants to have fun. Why can't we be comfortable too?
Thankfully, Ellen seems to have made tennis shoes popular again. I see her wearing them mulberry satchel with all types of outfits. She doesn't wear dresses, but I'll bet if she did, the style geeks would find a way to incorporate tennis shoes into expensive evening attire.

Field Trip Program
Life on Sandy Shores
This is a 1-hour program. Rangers meet the class at North Ocean Beach and begin the program with a brief orientation and safety message. During the short walk to the beach, students look for signs of wildlife, note changes to the landscape and discuss the needs of plants and animals.
Once on the beach, the shoes come off and the rangers begin a variety of activities to keep the children engaged in this distracting environment. Kid's love to dig and rangers channel this enthusiam into a hole digging activity. The holes are then used as geologic windows into the beach's stormy past. Each layer of black magnitite illustrates a storm and opens the subject of geology and earth science to discussion.
Students role play being ghost crabs or sand grains to learn about predator and prey relationships and island roll over. Students are always given a few minutes of free time to run and explore the beach and collect treasures for a group show and tell. If the water is warm enough and with teacher permition, students undertake the always popular mole crab search.
Students should wear cloths that can get wet and sandy. We strongly recommend students bring a change of cloths, towel and sunscreen.

When there's a glaring need, there's also glaring desperation. Like much of the league, the Eagles were seemingly done with free agency a week ago, and were content to turn their attention to the draft. Then a tear happened, specifically a tear to a muscle located in Jason Peters' leg.
And then they were shopping again, and that frantic search for a replacement ended today when the Eagles signed Demetrius Bell to a five-year contract. Bell fills an obvious hole and was pursued because of the pressing need for insurance at left tackle with Peters gone. But the amount of insurance he'll actually provide could be somewhere far below the standard of coverage State Farm gives when you combine your house and car…literally.
Bell will slide in at left tackle and fill that gaping void created by Peters' injury on an offensive line that left Michael Vick limping and spinning often last year. But while he's doing that, the Eagles' brass will be clutching lucky rabbit's feet and silver dollars. Bell is athletic and mobile for a man of his size (307 pounds), but it's not promising when your injury fill-in has already missed 17 games in his three-year career.
That's the consequence of desperation and an injury that ocurred after the first wave of free agency. The Eagles were forced to replace a four-time All Pro and a vital piece of their offensive line with a severely injury-prone lineman who's made it through just one full season.
The monetary terms of the deal haven't surfaced yet, but given his injury history and his status as an injury replacement, Bell's contract will surely be front-end loaded. The official press release from the Eagles also clarified that Bell's first name is actually spelled "Demetress," and somehow no one thought to correct this for three years. Or maybe he randomly changed the spelling, which is equally weird.
The Eagles and/or Bell could have told us anything, and we'd believe it. Three years from now if he's still in the league it'll change to "Demyartras."

Hello! I plan to paint our new home's great room, foyer and open balcony area BM Bersksire Beige. I would like to paint the open concept kitchen and dining area a color that will accent it. I'm thinking of just going a shade darker than the Berkshire Beige but I'm not sure what will look best. I'm also considering painting the fireplace wall in the great room the accent color to tie it all in. Thoughts? |

Berkshire beige is very dark for all of that space IMHO. Is there a way to block out that space differently for color. For example, paint the foyer and balcony area in the Berkshire beige and then put it on one wall furthest from the foyer in the great room. Then do the rest of the great room in a coordinating color like november rain. Save another accent color that goes well like winter lake for another area...say the dining room. Hard to know your space without pictures. Also you need to consider what you want to do with ceiling color and other elements in the room, like trim, is there brick or tile on the fireplace, flooring, furniture, cabinet colors, etc. |
Oh my, thanks for the suggestions Annie! I'm a bit more overwhelmed now though, lol! I will try to post pics of the space to give a better perspective. I really like the berkshire beige but I see how you would think it is kind of dark for all that space. The great room and foyer have 18' ceilings with the main part of the balcony overlooking the great room. We will have oak trim stained special walnut. The floors in the great room, foyer and possibly dining area will be a medium/dark hardwood. The fireplace in the great room will have ledgestone all the way up to the ceiling and we will have cabinets installed on each side of the fireplace in a medium maple color (matches the trim). I hope all this makes sense. Thanks again- I'm going to check out the colors you suggested. |
Would it be ok to go with Coastal Fog for instead of november rain? Coastal fog is just a lighter shade of berkshire beige. November rain seems to have a green tone to it and winter lake seems very blue? I looked at them online which I know can look slightly different than in person. |
I've seen berkshire beige used on the exterior of a house and it is very green. A mossy gray green. |
Thanks chispa. I consider it more of a beige with a gray tone to it. If it does look somewhat green I prefer that over a pink,purple, or yellow toned beige which is what seems to be the case with most beiges. Any other suggestions? Has anyone used this color in their house? Thanks! |
You might want to check out BM Grant Beige. A beige with gray/green undertones, but lighter than berkshire beige |
Berkshire beige IS an exact match to brandon beige. Sorry it took a couple days before I remembered to look it up, but hope that helps. |
Those are great colors, IMHO! |
Thanks everyone! Berkshire Beige is still my number one choice (it just calls to me) but we will see how it goes when I try it on the wall in the room, lol. I will try to post pictures of the space at some point in hopes of getting more opinions on it. :) |

I was wondering how good this works in a bathroom? I've had it in one small bathroom for 2 yrs now & it looks great. I am considering putting it in my MB bath also but not sure how well it would do with hair spray & such on it. How would you clean stuff like that off? I know they have a special cleaner for these floors but will it work with hairspray & such? It is just DH & I so it does't get abused much. If I go with tile we will have to install it ourselves due to the cost but could afford to have the engineered wood installed. Less for materials & labor with the eng flooring but I do want something that will look good & last a long time. We have tiled Very small area's before but I am a little worried about diy tile with all the cuts & don't want it to crack down the road. Thanks for any advice. Terri |
Follow-Up Postings:
understand that laminate or woods aren't recommended for full baths with tubs or showers. Wood and water don't normally mix. If you wish to do this the other concerns are pretty minimal. Most eng. wood uses an alum oxide finish which is similar to whats on a laminate so easy to clean. |
We have a good quality laminate in our bathroom and love it. We even had a toilet leak where water had to be wiped up from the floor every morning for 3 weeks before we realized where the water was coming from. Not a trace of damage. It is the easiest floor I've ever had to clean. |

Thanks for the help. We decided to go with tile, hopefully we will love it. Terri |
If you are considering flooring for a bathroom where continuous moisture is expected, you will want to select a product other than hardwood. While the moisture resistance of an engineered hardwood makes it suitable for rooms below grade or ground level when installed with a moisture barrier, it is not advisable to install any hardwood flooring in a bathroom. |

Bedding 101
How to navigate the multitude of bedding choices on the market and design a bed for your ultimate comfort and style
By Carla Jordan
Finishing Touches
Bed skirts, also known as dust ruffles, are more than pretty, they're practical. They screen from view anything stored beneath the bed and block dirt and dust. To purchase the correct length bed skirt, measure from top of the box spring to the floor.
Shams are pillow covers that coordinate with sheets and require pillow inserts. They're used for decorative purposes unlike bed pillows.
Accent pillows are perfect finishing touches to mix with bed pillows because they provide contrast and depth. Just how many pillows does a bed need? "The number of pillows is a personal thing," notes Heather Kearsley Wolf, designer and president of Kearsley, International, Ltd., a bed linens manufacturer, "but there are some rules of thumb according to bed size. . ."
On a twin bed, instead of a standard pillow, add one king pillow because it spans the width of the bed; and one to two accent pillows.
For a full size bed, Wolf recommends two standard pillows, two standard or Euro shams and one to two accent pillows.
Queen beds can easily hold two queen pillows and two queen shams, plus two to three accent pillows or a single bolster.
On king beds, a good combination is three standard pillows and two king shams, plus three smaller accent pillows or three standard pillows with three Euros.
Some people prefer only a few larger pillows to lean against when reading or watching TV. Others enjoy lots of pillows because they create a deep-layered look but if that's your choice, remember to designate a place to store them at night so that they don't clutter up the room."

powder metallurgy
powder metallurgy
Fabrication of metal objects from a powder rather than casting from molten metal or forging at softening temperatures. In some cases the powder method is more economical, as in making metal parts such as gears for small machines, in which casting would involve considerable scrap loss. In other cases, melting is impractical (e.g., because the melting point of the metal is too high). Powder metallurgy is also used to produce a porous product that will allow a liquid or gas to pass through it. See also metallurgy, sintering.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release Wednesday, September 17, 2003. Contact Bob Brammer 515-281-6699.
Davenport. Attorney General Tom Miller today urged patients who purchased certain prescription drugs to obtain information and file claims for reimbursement for alleged overcharges by prescription drug companies.
The drugs are Cardizem CD and its generic equivalents, which are used to treat high blood pressure; BuSpar, used to treat patients with generalized anxiety disorder; and Taxol, especially used to treat breast and ovarian cancer.
"In each case, states joined forces and alleged the maker of the brand-name prescription drug took illegal action to block or slow down the appearance of generic alternatives," Miller said. "We alleged that the illegal action resulted in overcharges because generics almost always are cheaper."
"The courts have approved claim processes to get money back into the hands of consumers, but consumers need to check if they are eligible and contact their pharmacy for assistance," he said. "The deadlines for filing are approaching very soon now."
The deadline for filing claims is Sept. 23 for Cardizem CD, December 5 for BuSpar, and November 14 for Taxol.
"The first step is to go to the web site for the Claims Administrator in any of the cases, or call their toll-free number," Miller said. "Then most people will need to ask their pharmacy to help them with their prescription records for the last few years. Then they need to file the claim on time."
Jim Wallace of Davenport, Director of Pharmacy at Trinity Medical Center and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Iowa Pharmacy Association, joined Miller at the news conference at the Main At Locust Pharmacy in Davenport to encourage patients to check it out and file claims if they may be eligible. "The Pharmacy Association and pharmacists all over Iowa have given extraordinary service to their patients in these and other cases," Miller said. "They played a key role last year in over 3,600 Iowans being paid $1.26 million in the Mylan drug-monopolization case. We are very grateful for the cooperation of pharmacists on behalf of their patients."
The Courts have set aside about $75 million for payments to consumers in these three cases, Miller said. We are very eager to help patients take advantage of the claims processes.
Miller emphasized that consumers can find information on all three current cases at his offices web site www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.org, or by calling the Attorney Generals Consumer Protection Division at 515-281-5926.
Cardizem CD claims (drug used to treat high blood pressure): Filing deadline: September 23, 2003. [Filing period now CLOSED] Purchase period for eligibility: 1/1/98 through 1/29/03. Drugs involved: Cardizem CD or generic equivalents Cartia XT, Diltiazem CD, or Diltiazem Hydrochloride Extended Release Capsules. Information and claim forms-
Phone: 1-800-372-2406 Web: www.cardizemsettlement.com Mail: Cardizem CD Settlement Administrator, PO Box 1675, Faribault MN 55021-1675
BuSpar claims (medication for patients suffering from generalized anxiety disorder): Filing deadline: December 5, 2003. Purchase period for eligibility: 1/1/98 through 2/28/03. Drugs involved: BuSpar or generic equivalent Buspirone Hcl Information and claim forms-
Phone: 1-877-867-6133 Web: www.busparsettlement.com Mail: BuSpar Litigation Administrator, PO Box 1682, Faribault MN 55021-1682.
Taxol claims (drug used to treat especially breast cancer and ovarian cancer): Filing deadline: November 14, 2003. Purchase period for eligibility: 1/1/99 through 2/28/03. Drugs involved: Taxol or its generic equivalent Paclitaxel. Information and claim forms-
Phone: 1-800-659-7609 Web: www.taxolsettlement.com Mail: Taxol Settlement Administrator, PO Box 1667, Faribault MN 55021-1667.
Background on Cardizem CD and other Drug Refund Cases Now Pending: Previous release on Cardizem. Previous release on BuSpar. Previous release on Taxol.
Cardizem CD and its equivalents are widely-prescribed, Miller said. I strongly encourage Iowans to obtain information and a claim form and submit it by the Sept. 23 deadline if they used the drug. We estimate there may be about 10,000 Iowa users of the drug, since there are about a million nationwide. If you arent sure if you use Cardizem CD, ask your doctor or pharmacist, and ask your pharmacist to help you with your usage and payment record.
In each of the refund cases the claim and payment processes have been approved by Federal District Court judges overseeing the matters (Michigan, New York, and Washington, DC, respectively, for Cardizem, BuSPar, and Taxol.) The Courts will have to approve the final distribution plans after close of the filing periods.
In each case, the States claims administrator also has done a vigorous notification program, including ads in many national publications such as Better Homes & Gardens, Readers Digest, Parade, National Geographic, Womans Day, and others.
The Antitrust Cases:
Cardizem CD: Miller said Aventis Pharmaceuticals and the Andrx Corp. together are paying to compensate consumers, state agencies and insurance companies that overpaid for Cardizem CD or its generic equivalents. The multi-statelawsuit alleged that Hoechst (a pharmaceutical company later acquired by Aventis) illegally paid Andrx about $90 million so that Andrx would not bring a generic version of Cardizem CD to market for about a year.
BuSpar: Miller said the States alleged that Bristol-Myers Squibb engaged in fraud to unlawfully maintain its monopoly and exclusive hold on the market for BuSpar. States alleged the company made false statements to the Food & Drug Administration about its patents in an effort to stop competitors from selling cheaper generic alternatives. Drug costs usually drop significantly when generic drugs come on the market. According to a report from the Congressional Budget Office in 1998, the average generic prescription price can be less than half of the brand name price.
Taxol: The multi-state lawsuit alleged that Bristol-Myers Squibb used fraudulent means to delay the entry of lower-priced versions of Taxol, thereby illegally inflating the cost of chemotherapy for thousands of patients.
In each case, Miller said the Courts also have imposed strong injunctive relief to prevent the alleged illegal activity by the drug manufacturers.
Prescription drugs are a huge business -- and one of the largest expenses for consumers and taxpayers, Miller said. Companies need to act fairly and lawfully. That protects consumers and taxpayers and makes a level playing field for all businesses.

This is seriously the worst product I have ever bought! As soon as I got this under my eye, the burning sensation was unbearable. I had to rinse my eyes several times with running water before the atrocious feeling faded.
The packaging is pretty bad too. You easily get too much product and the "brush applicator" is completely useless sinc you need to dab the product with your finger anyway.
I was expecting much more from a AUD 20 eye cream. I am staying well clear of Aveeno products from now on.

i like the fact that this had a pump to it and a cap but the formula sucks balls. This does not work for me and its sticky. What a waste of my money......

Stinging formula. I dont have sensitive skin, but after using this item for 3 days in a row (just a dab after washing) it made my eyes water. But my skin did look glowing, its important to note that. The packaging is excellent, i really like the pump style, and the scent is soothing.
I noticed that it dosent have this effect for all people, so im putting this item up for trade if you want to try it without paying the high price$ that i paid for it originally. Visit my profile to get it..
this product really stings. Because i already spent money on this product i tried using it for a few days more but my eyes ended up red and irritated.
I liked this because of it's texture - non oily and no issues during the day, and it's packaging which was very air-resistent, as well as easy to use.
Not sure it didn't anything special but did keep my eye area moisturized.
No stinging and no scent.
I have pretty bad dark circles under my eyes, especially during midterms and finals week so I decided to try Aveeno "Eye brightening cream". I usually like Aveeno products because they're very natural and doesn't contain a scent. That was one perk about it, but other than that, this cream didn't do anything for my dark circles. There was no brightening going on, just plain moisturizing which was ok.
The little pump it came in was cute... I need to find another eye cream for these panda eyes now!
I thought it stung when I used it, to the point where the skin around my eyes looked red and irritated. I gave it a couple of tries, both morning and at night. When I used it in the morning, under my makeup, any makeup I put in that area seemed to roll up into little pills and it didn't matter how I applied the makeup/concealer/eyeshadow. The pills brushed off with powder, but so did the makeup. I gave it up as a bad buy and tossed it in the trash. I'm afraid it's colored my attitude towards the Aveeno line as a whole.

I do like this as an undereye cream. It's really soft and it has a nice glisten to it which kind of brightens your undereye area. In the long run however, I don't see it helping my undereye. I love Aveeno's products, but this just isn't my favorite. I wouldn't by it again only cause it's been discontinued.

StatusThe thesis was presented on the 19 December, 2012Approved by NCAA on the 14 June, 2013 Abstract– 0.38 Mb / in romanian |
The work includes 123 edited pages and consists of introduction, 6 chapters, conclusions, practical recommendations, bibliography comprising 179 references, 59 tables, 15 figures, 3 algorithms, 3 annexes. The obtained result were published in 8 scientific works.
Field of study: Medical sciences (anaesthesiology and reanimatology, obstetrics and gynaecology).
Aim of study: Evaluation of risk factors and clinic characteristics of HELLP syndrome, creation of precocious diagnostic algorithm and intensive treatment of HELLP syndrome complications in various perinatal periods.
Objectives of study: The estimation of risk factors and analysis of the clinic evolution of HELLP syndrome and its complications on patients based on perinatal period. Assessment of acid-alcaline and water-electrolyte imbalances, haemostasis for pacients with HELLP syndrome with different severity levels and in vario us perinatal periods. Building of the precocious diagnostic and intensive treatment algorithm for HELLP syndrome.
Scientific novelty and originality: Risk factors in the development of the syndrome and its complications have been determined; the clinic evolution of HELLP syndrome and the correlation between water-electrolyte, acid-alcaline and gaseous imbalances with the severity degree and perinatal period of HELLP syndrome have been established. Detrimental consequences of disseminated microangiopathy on haemostasis for women with HELLP diagnosis has been demonstrated.
Scientific problem resolved in this thesis: The precocious diagnostic and intensive treatment algorithm of HELLP syndrome has been created in the intensive therapy unit.
Theoretical significance and practical value of the thesis: The obtained results have demonstrated that HELLP syndrome frequently develops in MODS with maternal decease, which imposes the placement of pregnant patients in the intensive therapy unit once the syndrome is detected. The frequency of HELLP syndrome complications is directly proportional with severity degree of tardive gestosis as well as with associated infectious diseases.
Implementation of scientific results: The results of the reserch have been implemented in the process of teaching at faculty of Anaesthesiology and Reanimatology nr.2 of the State University of Medicine and Pharmacy "N.Testemiţanu" of the Republic of Moldova and in the daily activity of reanimation departments of IMSP SCR, IMSP SCM nr.1, IMSP ICŞDOSMşiC.

We just found out our ceiling is being sheetrocked TOMORROW and we are scrambling to finalize our sound system plans. Originally we thought we would buy some decent in-ceiling speakers and run some speaker wire over to the area where the cabinet that will house our TV and amp will be (and decide on the specific components later), but after researching Sonos systems, my hubby is working on a new plan using Apple TV.
Right now we have 2 Apple TVs and use them to stream music (and photos, slideshows, etc.) from our iPods, iMacs and iPads to our TVs, plus to listen to Pandora and other stations, and watch Netflix and YouTube, etc. We're thinking about having a dedicated Apple TV in the kitchen and hooking it up to in-ceiling speakers. We have a rough idea of how this could be done, but I'm wondering if any of you have already tried it. The cabinet over our fridge will be able to house the TV, amp and Apple TV, but I could use some guidance on what speakers and amp to be looking at that will work best with this setup. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We did this a year ago, before Apple updated their Apple t.v., so we used an Airport Express, but it's the same process (we now have added apple t.v.'s to 2 other rooms, and they work essentially the same way except that we don't need Airfoil to run them)-- here's dh's description from a previous pos after we finished a year ago -- if you have more questions contact me via e-mail and I'll put you in touch with him. Kris found some Cambridge Soundworks Ambience 80 speakers, which install in the ceiling. We ordered four of them (2 in the kitchen and 2 in the living room) and got permission from our contractor to run some speaker wire while the ceiling was torn off, and I ran wiring from where we wanted to speakers installed over to the location of our pantry, where we planned to install the sound equipment. We also had the electrician install an electrical outlet inside the cabinet. After the kitchen was finished, we cut holes in the ceiling to install and wire up the speakers. Inside the pantry, we ran the other end of the speaker wires into an electrical box with speaker terminals. For sound equipment, we got an Airport Express, which has a mode that allows it to stream music from iTunes. The hardest part was finding an amplifier that would fit inside the pantry and not generate too much heat. We ended up buying two small PylePCA3 amplitiers - one each for the kitchen and living room speakers. We put these in the pantry, along with the Airport Express and connected the audio out jack on the airport into the amplifiers (we had to use an RCA jack splitter to connect to both amps). We keep the amplifiers on, and can stream music from our laptops anywhere in the house. We also use a third party software program called Airfoil (for Macs only) that allows us to stream music from *any* application, not just iTunes. |
Perfect! Thank you! I was just looking at those Pyle amps on Amazon last night, too. :) |
This is my plan as well, but keep in mind that the new Apple TVs only have a digital out, so you may need to convert it. I believe monoprice has an adapter, but it apparently can have some noise when there's no sound. The amplifier below gets rave reviews and is cheap, worth considering in addition to the Pyle amps. |

The Minnesota Department of Commerce started taking applications again on March 17 for the Made in Minnesota Solar Thermal Rebate Program. The solar thermal program accepted applications this year from January 1-February 28, but the program was not fully subscribed. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until 2014 funds are fully reserved.
The rebate program, which is part of the 10-year, $150 million Made in Minnesota Solar Incentive Program that began this year, is for customers of electric investor-owned utilities (Xcel Energy, Alliant Energy, Minnesota Power, and Otter Tail Power). Rebates are available to commercial and residential property owners who install solar thermal systems using collectors certified as Made in Minnesota. Solar thermal systems can be installed for space heating, water heating, and pool heating purposes. The rebate is equal to 25 percent of the system installed cost up to a maximum of $2,500 for residential, $5,000 for multifamily, and $25,000 for commercial systems.
To apply for the solar thermal rebate, see the application guidelines (pdf) on the Made in Minnesota webpage. Installers and developers are encouraged to lead the application process on behalf of their clients and complete a request for an applicant log-in and password. Questions about the process can be addressed by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 651-539-1886 or 1-800-657-3710.
The solar photovoltaic (PV) part of the incentive program is fully subscribed and discontinued taking applications on February 28 for 2014. Eligible applicants for the PV incentives will be placed in a lottery and notified in the near future if they have been selected for the program. Incentives for solar PV are performance-based, established by a system's energy production, and paid over 10 years. Owners of an approved and installed PV system will receive payments annually by July 1st based on the kWh output of the system in the previous calendar year.

This isn't really a "success story," but it was interesting anyway.
It's a good thing he didn't hit the guy. It would have been a shame to mame or kill a guy over a purse.Beaumont, TX

Clinical trials for acute myeloid leukemia
You may have had to make a lot of decisions since you've been told you have cancer. One of the most important decisions you will make is choosing which treatment is best for you. You may have heard about clinical trials being done for your type of cancer. Or maybe someone on your health care team has mentioned a clinical trial to you.
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done with patients who volunteer for them. They are done to get a closer look at promising new treatments or procedures.
If you would like to take part in a clinical trial, you should start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital conducts clinical trials. You can also call our clinical trials matching service for a list of clinical trials that meet your medical needs. You can reach this service at 1-800-303-5691 or on our Web site at www.cancer.org/clinicaltrials. You can also get a list of current clinical trials by calling the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service toll-free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or by visiting the NCI clinical trials Web site at www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials.
There are requirements you must meet to take part in any clinical trial. If you do qualify for a clinical trial, it is up to you whether or not to enter (enroll in) it.
Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the art cancer treatment. In some cases they may be the only way to get access to newer treatments. They are also the only way for doctors to learn better methods to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
You can get a lot more information on clinical trials in our document called Clinical Trials: What You Need to Know. You can read it on our website or call us to have it sent to you.

The Light and How to Swing It: A little less hybrid {WoW}
Nov 8th 2009 5:34PM Personally I would love to see the pally trees differentiated. If you look at rotations between holy/ret for damage HOLY: Judgement/HS/Exorcism/something else? RET: Judgement/CS/DS/Exorcism/Consecration. They share a lot of the same abilities in general. While I no where Expect Holy=Ret in terms of damage I would like to see different skill sets for those specs. I also find it weird that at lvl 76 when I play ret (sp=0) my exorcism does about 3k dmg crit 2200 non crit. On my holy pally (sp=800) exorcism does about 1.5k-1.7 crit and 1.2k non crit. Just a little odd that a spell does more for a melee class than a caster class. (I know it can be talented in the ret tree to do more dmg)
The Light and How to Swing It: A little less hybrid {WoW}
Nov 7th 2009 9:37PM While I do agree that pallys can basically use any basic ability from any tree. Like others have said Ret pallys have all the dps capability. While they can heal they really are of no use compared to a boomkin/shadow priest/ele shammy hopping out and throwing a heal.
Holy pallys have absolutely no offensive power as I play a holy pally. I can attest to the fact that it takes forever to kill a mob unless its undead/demon. We have a judgement, holy shock, exorcism, and holy wrath (being only useful if they are undead). I do believe that things like HoP and DS should have some buffed ability for prot pallys but they should be in there trees, I don't think they should be nerfed so that other specs cant use them.
Ghostcrawler and the "hybrid tax" {WoW}
Oct 27th 2009 11:24PM I understand that fact that pure dps classes can only dps. While hybrid classes can in a pinch perform other roles than what they are currently speced. But as others have said arent those classes being taxed by throwing a heal or dpsing during a fight in which they are not speced to heal or dps. As anyone looked at the numbers in healing difference between what a ret pally can cast versus a holy pally?
The other thing is if dps classes are suppose to have higher dps than hybrids, then why do those dps classes have specific specs to play in raids, i.e. destro locks, Surv hunters, etc. If that is the case why not have all the dps trees of that class be equal? BM hunter=Surv hunter dps, that why the player can chose the spec not the spec choose the player.
Idk, sorry for the rambling but just my 2cents on the matter

Arena Season 4: Everything we know about the brutal season {WoW}
Aug 20th 2008 7:07PM I am a PvE player currently doing t6 content. My biggest problem with arenas/BGs is that I go into a BG/Arena and get my arse kicked by a person wearing s1 gear because of a stat called resilience. They have so much that I cant even get a crit off on them (have 2k RAP 33%crit). And in order for me to play a BG/Arena Blizzard has forced me to mind numbingly grind the honor/tokens to get gear that is only viable to PvP, because when raiding the point of raiding is to not take damage and you don't even need resilience.
This is why so many PvE hate arenas/bgs now. Not to mention the amount of time spent having to get the current seasons set. Like others have said here s2 is no where = to s3/s4 geared arena teams.
The last thing that upsets me is people afk in BG and still get there honor/tokens. In raiding you don't get shit for just showing up and standing at the enterance, you actively have to play the game.

Research Interests
Dr. Bedford's interests: Chromosomal aberrations are principally involved in all of the important biological effects of exposure to ionizing radiations. These include cell killing which underlies effects in normal tissues and tumors after high level exposures administered for cancer treatment, as well as heritable changes in cells which are not killed. Such mutational events can affect the offspring of irradiated parents when they occur in germ cells, or in some cases, cancer if the wrong kind are produced in somatic cells.
Research projects in Dr. Bedford's laboratory involve studies in radiation genetics and cytogenetics, including mechanisms involved in the production of chromosomal aberrations by ionizing radiations and other agents, factors influencing this production, the development of new methodologies for measuring aberrations, the genetic control of radiosensitivity, and radiation induced genomic instability. Additional studies deal with cell cycle perturbations resulting from radiation exposure.
