The upper fabric of this mattress pad is made of a loose gauge fabric and I was hoping for a finer gauge fabric as this would wear better. The loft of the fiberfill was not equally disdributed and the pad itself was not very generous in size (lacking about 5 inches on each side of the mattress. I have purchased mattress pads with a much higher quality fabric and fiberfill for about the same price, so I was expecting something even better than I have purchased at department stores.
I am very impressed with this mattress pad. It is very thick, cushiony and comfortable. I would almost say it's more like a mattress topper because it's so thick. The sides are not cotton, they are a stretchy nylon material, so it's not going to rip easily. The only thing that I would have to say might be a problem for some people is it's not going to fit in most washing machines because it is so thick. I have a front loader and it will not fit in my machine. I will have to take it to a laundromat or dry cleaners when it needs to be washed.
This is a very nice pad, super comfortable! I would highly recommend!
This is a great, comfortable product. After leaving it out of the bag for 48 hours to fluff up, we dressed the bed and found the product most satisfying.
couldn't be happier had a sealy mattress pad before this one and liked that one too . we just ordered a $4000.00 king size sleeper sofa from American leather and i will be putting the same mattress pad on that one too.

This is an exquisite katana that has no flaws at all. In the resent September shinsa it actually scored at 77points. The sword has never been altered by cutting down and is signed and dated. An excellent koto period sword in original length and with original nakago. The sword shows many hataraki and the hamon is very elegantly made. The hada has very nice utsuri and is well forged. The hada has a rich look to it that look wet to the eye. This sword comes with its original koshirai that is very beautiful also. This is a complete set that is not found always.
This koshirai comes also with papers showing that it is a true koshirai and not put together recently. The saya is impressive and beautiful and flawless. The fittings are silver washed or solid silver with gold accents. Overall a wonderful set of koshirai.
This sword has recently received a passing Kanteisho paper at the September Shinsa. The mounts also come with papers. The sword and koshirai comes with the NTHK preliminary work sheet and a personal guaranty from Nihonto Antiques that these papers will be forwarded to the new owner the moment we receive them. This should take approximately two months.

I'm tired of cleaning weeds out of the crinum bed while waiting for it to fill out. In a month or so, they will spread out and no weeds will grow there, but until then, I'd like something to take the place of weeds. It would be nice if it were evergreen, but if it just starts growing before the weeds, that's good enough for me. I thought about horse herb, mainly because I've got some I can dig up. I'm not sure if it can live under the crinum all summer. |

Most people consider dichondra a weed, but I find it a great ground cover that grows in shade and sun both. When I lived in AZ people out there paid big bucks for dichondra lawns. It does not get tall.In this picture you can see it growing in front of the colmbine and in the back left. |
I let dichondra grow in certain areas also, Kathy, but I also like creeping jenny. It is an evergreen, easy to pull out or hoe to keep it under control, and doesn't crowd out the colorful plants around it. It can be a bit invasive if you don't keep it under control though. |
Will either of those spread into other areas? What I like about horse herb is that it doesn't jump across the border into the yard - or at least it hasn't yet. |
Marti - my horseherb has jumped the border into the yard. I think it might be reseeding, so maybe I can remedy the problem with pre-emergent. I'm trying to decide if I can deal with it, or it has to go. |
I fight that stuff everywhere, and just pulled it all out of that bed. I'm not sure I want to encourage it. |
To answer your question, YES they will spread to other areas if left unchecked. They are just easier to control and prettier to look at than weeds. Oh, and I have horseherb coming up in places I have no idea how it got there. |
Bummer. I hoped horseherb would just stay where it was planted. At least it's easier to pull out than dichondra. |

Hmmm.... on another note, my crinum of about four years has not spread at all. |
I don't mean that the crinum has multiplied, just that it is growing leaves after being dormant in the winter (maybe yours don't go dormant?) and filling out the bed. When they first start putting out green tips, the circumference is about 10" but in a month or so, it will be over two feet. |
- Posted by ann_in_houston z9 Houston (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 11 at 0:20
Yes, the size has gotten to about two feet but no more. It seems to have maxed out. It did stay green all winter and we had snow enough to kill lots of my plants. |
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a-DFW (My Page) on Fri, Apr 22, 11 at 12:31
I like the purple-leafed oxalis (triangularis regnellis or something like that) under the crinum - it's at its peak now and will get protection from the crinum as it fades. Here it is by iris and white rain lily, but this bed has more crinum in it now: Lin |
That's a good idea Lin, and I have some purple oxalis. |
I have a plant called St. John's wort that kinda looks like thyme, but more billowy. (Is that even a word?) It doesn't bloom, grows in the shade, spreads in a nonagressive way and is evergreen. Looks cute next to purple oxalis. I plan on moving some under a bench, I like it so much. Sorry don't have a picture of it for you. |
I like frog's fruit but it can be aggressive. |

****Update: I've noticed it start to look too dark for my skintone. Rose Bermagesque, however, still looks good on me.
Favorite color, aside from Rose Bermagesque, that I love from this line of lipsticks. This color is a no-brainer for days when I just want to wear a lip color that will look good on me with whatever makeup look/outfit I choose.
Also, unlike YSL's Rouge Volupte lipsticks, I love the formula of the Rouge Pur Couture lippies much more, as they're not as slippery, don't bleed as much, and don't have a scent.
Only qualm is that you need to have smooth, un-chapped lips for this because otherwise it will settle into those dry areas -- oh, yeah, and it's quite expensive.
Would I recommend? Yes.
I absolutely love, love, love this colour. The name 'Beige Tribute' led me to believe that this was going to be a bland, brown colour, however, after trying it at the counter I fell head over heels.
The colour is a lovely nude with a pink undertone that makes this a great daytime nude - one that you can wear without people asking you if you're ill!!
One gripe is the packaging - the gold tube appeals to my inner magpie, but I can't handle the finger prints and the fact that this scratches so easily! I suppose I ought to be more careful with these things, but I think product designers should take into account that lipstick gets swiped on and chucked into a handbag to mingle with coins and keys.

This might work. I have recovered a few cds in the past this way. See if you have furniture polish with wax in it. If you do then try this
1 - use window cleaner on the cd to clean it
2 - apply the polish and then remove the excess starting from the center to the outer edge in a straight line. Not in a circular pattern
3 - Make sure its dry (protecting your cdrom)
4 - see if its playable
If so then make a copy of it
Hope that helps
Good luck

Of course if he ruined the label side than there is nothing that can save the cd.

$10,000.00 For Haddix's Slander Suit
Fri, 05/11/2012 - 4:12pm
On Thursday Council will vote to approve a consent agenda containing what I believe to be Mayor Haddix's attempt to hide the legal expenses he incurred from being sued by a former mayor. First, it is my understanding that the mayor was sued, not the city. Second, it was our current mayor who slandered the former mayor outside his official duties as mayor and should shoulder the responsibility for his actions. Third, since the mayor has already been reimbursed to the tune of $9969.40 in March of this year and yet to be approved by Council, the disbursement of such funds prior to being approved is, at best, a bad business practice.
One need only to download the agenda packet for the next Council meeting to verify.

You are hereArizonaInterviews From Arizona Immigration SummitAs a result of my involvement in Arizona, I have done several interviews to help advance the truth that there are free-thinking young people and free-thinking Latinos who don't believe everything they hear on TV. Immediately after getting off stage at the rally, I was approached by a cameraman from Phoenix news station CBS 5. I was still at the capitol when the interviewed aired, but in addition to who I am and where I'm from, they wanted to know why I was there supporting Arizona. Harry Reid is Clueless on Republican Values - Preys on Hispanic VotersWhile on the campaign trail on Tuesday Nevada Senator Harry Reid put his foot in his mouth...again. Reid targeted Hispanic voters stating, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican." What Reid fails to understand is that the Hispanic culture shares most, if not all, of our core conservative values. Hispanics are overwhelminly pro-life, pro-family, fiscally conservative, and believe in hard work - not welfare! Read more » Posted under:

Dan Maes meeting with Denver Post over complaints about unfair governor-race coverage
Another day, another Denver Post story that treats Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes like an empty-walleted joke.Dan Maes.
It's no surprise, then, that Maes, who earlier threatened to limit the Post's access if the paper didn't start treating him fairly, has scheduled a meeting with representatives of the broadsheet to air his complaints.
Maes spokesman Nate Strauch doesn't directly connect the sit-down with the latest article, in which former supporter Freda Poundstone says she gave Maes $300 to cover his mortgage, and he interpreted the cash as a campaign contribution. But that doesn't mean Strauch liked this salvo any more than the Post editorial arguing that Maes's tax returns prove he's a lousy businessman, not to mention Post publisher Dean Singleton's assertion that Maes isn't competent to be a dog catcher.
"The article is the latest in a long line making mountains out of molehills when it comes to Dan's campaign," Strauch says. "And it raises questions, in conjunction with Dean Singleton's comments about Dan, as to whether the Post is willing to give him a fair shake."
The paper has also documented the apparent lack of enthusiasm from Maes's candidacy among members of Colorado Republican Party bosses such as Dick Wadhams, who doesn't believe Maes can beat John Hickenlooper in a three candidate race. The implication? The GOP intends to starve Maes of both affection and campaign contributions in the hope that he'll decide to drop out in favor of a contestant the Republican powers deem more worthy. But Strauch insists the situation is far more positive than that.
"Based on the calls Dan has received in the 72 hours or so since the primary, that isn't the case behind closed doors," he says. He points to John Andrews and Mark Hillman, whose endorsements of Maes are touted in a release on view below, as "the first in what I think will be a long line of Republican luminaries who are going to offer their support. Maybe the support is slower to come than some may have expected, but it's absolutely there."
Even Wadhams is coming around, he insists. "Based on our meeting with Dick yesterday, we have every confidence that the Republican establishment will fall behind Dan. I'm not going to name names, but the support we're hearing about behind the scenes is absolutely something we're going to build on."
In the meantime, Strauch has positive poll numbers to bolster Maes's claims of electoral viability, courtesy of Rasmussen Reports. A survey taken immediately after the primary win shows Hickenlooper with 43 percent support, trailed by Maes with 31 percent and American Constitution Party candidate Tom Tancredo at 18 percent.
That may not seem especially impressive, but as Strauch notes, "it's a twelve-point swing between Dan's numbers and Tom's numbers from the last poll, which was only nine days ago: Tom is down six points and Dan is up six points, with Hickenlooper's number staying the same. And the real significant numbers are among conservatives. In the last poll, conservative support for Dan was 40 percent, and now it's 57 point. That's a seventeen-point swing in just nine days."
Such digits may well contribute to an upgrade in a potential Maes running mate. He's got to choose someone to run as lieutenant governor by Tuesday, and Strauch says an announcement could be made earlier, "depending on how Dan's conversations go with the short list over the weekend."
Wonder if these chats will be friendlier than the one scheduled with people at the Post? Page down to read the release about Andrews and Hillman, plus another one touting the Rasmussen poll.

Theo: passion for art!
Theo created the new "Antwepr Painters" collection
Theo has always had a passion for art. A love of art so big that four years ago, they took the step of opening a gallery of their own, right next to their Antwerp headquarters. Here, the work of some 10 artists is shown each year to a diverse audience. But the 'old' masters deserve to be put on a pedestal too. theo created the 'Antwerp Painters' collection as a highly original way of paying homage to 6 golden oldies with Antwerp roots!
Whether it was their shared love of art, of colour or of Antwerp... no question that it was only a matter of time before a Rubens, Jordaens and Van Dijck would show up in a theo collection. The 'Antwerp Painters' collection was born. Naturally, there had to be a model named after the great master Rubens. And he's in good company. The other models are Jordaens, Verlat, Van Dijck, Pourbus and Teniers.
Form & technique
Acetate and metal are combined in a highly distinctive, typically theo way. The stainless steel core is given an acetate coating. The temples remain flexible thanks to the flex-system that theo developed in-house. The glasses have the look of acetate frames, but the comfort of metal!

Mega Monday Madness: Actual Fights in the Saks Fifth Avenue Shoe Department
Saks Fifth Avenue's Mega Monday shoe sale nearly caused a riot yesterday.
New York Daily News reports that the frenzied crowd who showed up for the store's 60 percent footwear discount panicked when they learned the sale wouldn't extend past noon.
"The line wrapped around the floor," one shopper revealed to the newspaper. "There were too many people. They were pushing and shoving. It was a zoo."
A PA announcement, declaring prices would rise to 40 percent after 12 PM, caused actual scuffles to break out. (Security was able to stop the madness before anyone was hurt.)
We're usually game to stand in line at some crazy sample sale or product launch (don't even get us started on that Versace x H&M wait), but actual fist fighting for heels is out of control. For bruise-free bargain hunting, check out Saks' online discounts, like these Prada mary janes or Elizabeth and James loafers. Sizes are going fast, so get shopping before yesterday's rough bunch swipes them all up.
How far would you go to score your dream shoes?

Pertussis, or whooping cough, can be serious, even fatal, for infants. The best way to protect your newborn from whooping cough is to make sure your friends and family get the TDAP vaccine. We spoke to Margaret Stillman, M.D., about the TDAP, when you should get it, and how long pertussis is contagious.
At what age is whooping cough most dangerous?
When the infant is 6 months and younger, she is most at risk for severe disease—the younger the infant, the more severe the disease. We start immunizing infants for whooping cough or pertussis at 2 months of age. When she gets that first injection, she will have some immunity within a couple of weeks and with each shot she gets, more immunity. That's why we try and cocoon the infant by vaccinating day care workers, parents, grandparents, anyone that surrounds the infant.
If an adult is not sure if she has received a whooping cough vaccine booster, is it advisable to receive one if they are going to be around newborns? Is there any risk if that adult was vaccinated within the last 10 years but then gets the booster again within that time frame?
It is recommended to get the TDAP—tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis—only once, but, to my knowledge, there's no risk to getting it more than once. If you don't know whether you've had it before and you're going to be around children, you have to get it. But the current recommendation is that you get it just once and then after that you get the tetanus and diphtheria booster every 10 years.
Is it safe for women to get the TDAP when they are pregnant or is it advisable to get it before or after pregnancy?
It is actually recommended that if a pregnant woman has not had the TDAP that she get it during pregnancy but the latter half of pregnancy, so in the late second trimester or in the third trimester. If she delivers her baby and has not had the TDAP, it is recommended that she get it at that time. (Currently, the Center for Disease Control recommends pregnant women to get the TDAP during each pregnancy to give their infant some short-term protection from whooping cough early in life.)
If my infant received the pertussis vaccine series, do they have to get the TDAP later in life?
In 1997, we switched vaccines from what was called the whole-cell to acellular. It has many fewer side effects but not as good protection. When you get whooping cough you don't ever develop permanent immunity to it—same with the vaccine. The immunity from these new vaccines has been dropping so there have been whooping cough outbreaks. With each vaccination, we're boosting the infant's immunity to whooping cough. During childhood they get the five shot vaccination series—at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months, and 4-6 years. Then, when they're 11 and before 6th grade, the child gets the TDAP booster to boost the immunity.
What are some of the warning signs that I might be carrying the pertussis bacteria? If I do suspect I have whooping cough, how long should I wait before visiting an infant?
In adults, pertussis presents as a prolonged cough. If you know that whooping cough is going around and you have a prolonged cough—whooping cough will last 6-10 weeks—you should go to your physician for an evaluation. Often by the time it is diagnosed as pertussis, you've already had it for a while, so you've been contagious without knowing you had it.
It's most contagious early on in the illness, particularly in the first two weeks, when you have the nonspecific symptoms, such as runny nose, and early on in the cough, so you're often contagious before you really know it. What commonly happens if you are diagnosed with pertussis is you are put on antibiotics. After you're on antibiotics for five days, you're no longer contagious. If 21 days have passed before you're diagnosed, you're also viewed as essentially not contagious.

Based on a novel by Max Lucado and directed by John Stephenson, The Christmas Candle strives mightily for holiday classic status, with its sub-Dickensian period atmosphere and moral of human goodness overcoming adversity. Although handsomely photographed and designed, its lack of truly involving characters and its eternal jawing about that infernal Christmas candle do not generate much viewer interest. There's a wealth of cutesy, fubsy eccentrics populating Gladbury, but they seem little more than blustering cartoons. Of course, you know the thing will build to one of those cathartic, life-affirming climaxes like the one in It's a Wonderful Life, and, sure enough, a big cornball scene in the church has the villagers proudly standing up and announcing what miracles have indeed befallen them as a (not always) direct result of that hunk of wax.
Afflicted with the worst male hairdo since Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men, Matheson is unable to make you warm to the insufferably priggish Richmond, but Barks evinces some attractive spirit. TV singing sensation Susan Boyle pops up in a small role, warbles a bit, and is predictably homely and sweeter than sugar, in a bonnet.

Bucs appear in disarray as other controversies brew. Terry McCormick
Cornerback Darrelle Revis apparently is not happy with Tampa Bay Bucs coach Greg Schiano's rules and his defensive schemes, reports Fox Sports via the New York Post.
Revis apparenlty isn't happy with the strict approach Schiano has with the club and also isn't a fan of the team's zone defense, per the report.
The Bucs have plenty of other issues, including quarterback Josh Freeman being late and missing meetings, as well as the battle that kicker Lawrence Tynes has going with the organization over being infected with MRSA from the locker room.

PUNE: An eerie silence prevailed at Ruston Colony in Chinchwad on Tuesday where the Kharat family live. Neighbours are trying to get over the shock following four deaths in the Kharat family including that of 12-year-old Amisha. Her elder brother Praneet, who is at a private hospital in Sangvi, has been asking to meet his parents. His father Pravin Kharat and mother Aruna, are no more.
Praneet, his uncle Kishore Kharat and Kishore's seven-month-old daughter Lavanya, survived the accident which also killed Kishore's wife Poonam. The Kharats lived in a joint family.
Sarika Sharma, a neighbour who lived in the house adjacent to Kharat family's, said, "Amisha's image continues to appear in front of my eyes. When Praneet was brought home yesterday I asked him if he would have tea. He said he wanted to meet his parents. I told him that they had been admitted to a hospital."
Sharma said she had told Poonam not to attend the wedding as her daughter was too small to bear with the travel. "Poonam wanted to see Mumbai," Sharma said. Another neighbour Priti Bhalerao, who worked with Aruna (Pranit's mother) in the same company in Talawade said, "Most of Aruna's co-workers came today," she said.
Most of Amisha's friends said they could not sleep at night. Bharati Kolge, another neighbour, said her daughters Samriddhi and Harshada who were friends with Amisha continued to remember her dance performance at the colony on New Year's Eve, and her participation in cultural events and rangoli drawing competitions. They were very fond of each other, she said.
Pravin Kharat's friend Rajaram Bhosle said everybody is shocked. "Pravin wanted to reconstruct the house. His dream remains unfulfilled now," he added.
Kishore Kharat said his nephew was in a state of shock. Praneet has been asking about his parents. His hand and leg are in cast and he cannot get up and move. The staff at the hospital did not allow him to talk much," said Kharat.

I have multiple cats. One hates another and I think this causes her stress and causes her to pee/spray inappropriately in the house. Feliway so far has not helped.
A vet recommended kitty prozac (I think the official names based on researching this forum is fluoxetine/reconcile). I'm debating this. Researching this forum shows results are pretty good with it. One question I have is if there are any negative affects to the kitty who uses it (other than cost and hassel for me). For those of you who have used it, did you find any other unwanted behavioral changes? Were there any other side affects? If you have ay other advice on success or problems you've had using kitty prozac to help stop inappropriate peeing/spraying, I'd love to hear it! |

I HAD to use fluoxetine in order to keep a stray cat (Stanley) we found dumped in our neighborhood. When we found him he had been declawed on ALL FOUR PAWS. He was a total sweetheart with our human family, but hated our other cat, and 2 labs. He started peeing in our house. Trust me when I say that we tried EVERYTHING- multiple litterboxes scooped multiple times daily When all else failed my vet suggested Fluoxetine. It saved Stanley's life. He wouldn't take a pill so we had it compounded into liquid form ( fish flavored) and put it into his food daily. We saw no side effects, except he was a little stoned for the first few days. The peeing stopped almost immediately. I know there are many who are against this type of drug, but it was a miracle for my family. |
I had a cat that was on valium for several yrs. She started urinating on furniture suddenly at about 3 yrs. Had been quite ill as a kitten & I think had some physical problems that we never got to the root of. I know we spent literally thousands on tests, vet visits, and mostly, furniture she ruined. We finally ended up w/her on a low dose of valium twice a day, and she was locked in a bedroom overnight every night, with 2 litter pans food & water. I usually sat w/her at night for a few hrs too. Night was when she did most of her damage. She was pretty loopy at first but it helped. We even got her off it once over a long period of decreasing dosage & frequency, but she started peeing again soon afterwards. Finally after about 5 yrs we put her down, I couldn't take it any more. I had a cat ruining my house because I felt bad, like I needed to do everything to save her. And I really loved her, it was awful all around. The meds were cheap, we did have to get her blood checked maybe twice a yr for liver damage, iirc. Good luck I hope it works out for you. |
Treated a lot of cats with Fluoxetine... so far never seen a problem nor even a change in lab work... doesn't ALWAYs work for all behavioral problems, but by far the most effective of all the behavioral drugs I have used on cats (and that is about 6 or 7). Works pretty fast unlike how it works on people (can take over a month to start working on us). |
My cat has been on amitriptyline for about 8 months; first 5 mg/day (which reduced the peeing incidents for a while), then 10 mg when he started blitzing the house again. He has been checked monthly for cystitis, had a bladder scan, etc. and the vet thinks it may be a chronic cystitis situation with a behavioral component. In other words, he started peeing outside the box due to the cystitis and now just keeps doing it. He is also on Cosequin and presciption canned food for the chronic cystitis. The Amitripyline is a transdermal that I rub inside his ear flap. I think it has helped him with his phobias (he has several: ceiling fans, skylights) and he definitely doesn't act dopey even on the higher dose, but clearly it's not helping with the peeing. I am calling the vet today to ask about switching to Prozac because it's getting to be much too much; every day, sometimes twice a day is just too much. |

This is the perfect shade of red for my super-pale skin. It is GORGEOUS!!! And it is also very chip resistant, I was really suprised. I usually turn to OPI for chip resistance, but this is my absolute perfect red and quite comparable to OPI.
I remember buying this along with my other favorite Frankly Scarlet which is a darker red. My boyfriend says he likes the Roses are Red better but I bought them both because I loved both colors. Roses are Red is such a Beautiful color and I don't mind having to care for my nails often because all Red nail colors require more attention and I do my own nails anyways. I never know how long it takes to dry because I do my nails before bed and fall asleep... lol then wake up and they are dry by morning time.
I do love this but I know I'll never buy it again because it is way too expansive and Im not as careless with my money like I was when I bought it years ago. I do plan to use it all because the color is great for the summer.
This is a beautiful classic red with no shimmer. It's deep and doesn't thicken on application like other nail polishes. Two coats over a good base and a coat of topcoat give long wear to this really nice polish. Another staple Red.

SUNY College at Geneseo
Spring Semester 2014
Instructor: Dr. Paul J. Pacheco, Office: Sturges Hall 13D
Office Hours: T 10:00 A.M. - 2:00 P.M. or by appointment
e-mail address: firstname.lastname@example.com, Phone: #245-5275
This course presents students with a comprehensive overview of Old World prehistory; from the dawn of humankind through the rise (and fall) of early civilizations. To accomplish this goal, we will critically examine and interpret knowledge about the human past generated by archaeologists. We will look in depth at the following topics: an evolutionary perspective on cultural change, the origins of human culture, the origins of modern human cultures, the transition to food producing economies of the Neolithic, and the rise and fall of complex Old World societies. During the course, students will write a critical review of Jared Diamond's Pulitzer Prize winning book Guns, Germs, and Steel, create a poster on a topic concerning one or more early civilizations, and learn how to think critically about human prehistory.
(1) Students will demonstrate proficiency in understanding major empirical, analytical, and theoretical approaches to human variation and cultural change including aspects of economic adaptations, social structures, political organizations, and ideological systems through class discussion and through the writing of three objective/ essay exams.
(2) Students will demonstrate knowledge of human cultural origins through the writing of the objective/ essay exams.
(3) Students will demonstrate their comprehension of major issues and trends in Old World Prehistory through the writing of a book review of Diamond's Guns Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies.
(4) Students will demonstrate knowledge of early civilizations and their ability to communicate research findings to a group by developing and presenting posters to the class through display of their work.
In addition to fulfilling your multi-cultural graduation requirement, this course also fulfills one course in the social science general education requirements. The guidelines for social science core courses stress the development of the following characteristics of a responsible member of society:
(1) an acquaintance with major empirical, analytical, or theoretical approaches to human behavior, institutions or culture;
(2) an acquaintance with social, economic, political, or moral alternatives;
(3) an acquaintance with major problems, issues, institutions, practices or trends in the social world;
(4) a capacity to express ideas clearly, coherently and grammatically in written form as
one component of the evaluation process. This written work must total at least 1500 words, at least half of which must be prepared outside of class.
Diamond, Jared
1998 Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. W.W. Norton & Co. ISBN #0-393-31755-2
All other listed readings will be made available through the mycourses.geneseo.edu webpage as pdf files in a folder under the Course Materials Tab.
There will be three exams in this course. Exams are non-cumulative and will emphasize your conceptual grasp of the course material and your ability to clearly express your understanding in writing. Exams are 75% essay and 25% multiple choice. Exam 3 (the final), is scheduled on May 12th from 12:00-3:00 P.M.. Specific instructions concerning the Diamond book review and the poster project are included below. We will have a poster session and contest on May 12th before taking Exam 3, in which you get to see and vote on your classmate's posters. The top five vote getters (includes both partners if partners are used) will get 30, 25, 20, 15, and 10 points extra credit, respectively, added to their final grades!
Reading assignments are meant to reinforce, compliment, and provide fodder for the class lectures, images, and discussions and in no way replace them. As a rule, there will be no make-up exams except in extenuating and pre-arranged circumstances. A 5% per day late penalty, cumulative to 25% per academic week applies to late Diamond book reviews. Permission is not required to be late, but all late reviews are subject to the penalty for whatever reason they are late. Posters must be turned in the day of the final.
Grades and Important Dates
Exam 1 100 points Feb 21nd
Exam 2 100 points April 2rd
Exam 3 (Final) 100 points May 12th (12:00-3:00 P.M.)
Poster 100 points May 12th
Diamond Book Review 100 points March 28th
Grades will be assigned on a percentage basis out of 500 possible as follows:
SUNY Geneseo will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented physical, emotional or learning disabilities. Students should contact the Director in the Office of Disability Services (Tabitha Buggie-Hunt, 105D Erwin) and their faculty to discuss needed accommodations as early as possible in the semester.
Your assignment is to write a book review of Jared Diamond's award winning book "Guns, Germs, and Steel". Specifically you are to assume the role of social science/history book reviewer at a major weekly journal (something like Time).
Your editor comes to you with a copy of Guns, Germs, and Steel and says: "I need a book review of this critically acclaimed work on world history. Another world history author has accused Diamond of being a racist. This guy is named Patrick Manning. He makes the accusation in his book Navigating World History published in 2003." The specific Manning quote, from pg. 6, is as follows: "Area-studies knowledge remains important for the world historian. Diamond brought to bear a particular strength on New Guinea and Australia, thus improving his argument overall as well as the details for that region. But his relative lack of knowledge on Africa caused him to underrate substantially the significance of agriculture and domestic animals in East, West, and North Africa, and thereby to add a racial tinge to his analysis."
Your first task is to evaluate the book and see if you agree that Diamond has constructed a racist explanation for what happened in the past. More specifically, you should address whether or not Diamond makes any claims, whatsoever, that biological differences between people are responsible for any of the significant historical patterns or trends which have occurred since the end of the last ice age.
Secondly, it appears that Diamond is also taking a lot of flak from the anti-evolution crowd. Your second task is to evaluate the way Diamond uses evolutionary arguments (i.e. what perspective(s) does he use to explain change?) in this book. Detail some examples of his evolutionary perspective(s), discuss whether or not they are consistent, and discuss whether or not you think the evolution rancor is justified (i.e. is an evolutionary perspective essential to Diamond's argument). Please note, you are not being asked to comment on Diamond's minor venture into human evolution in Chapter 1 per se, but rather the broader and specific perspective(s) on evolutionary change that he takes throughout the text.
"Finally, I want you to end your review by explaining why you liked or disliked the book and whether or not you would recommend this book to others?"
Your review is required to be 1500 + 100 words long; no exceptions. Failure to comply with the words count limit results in a 10 point deduction from your essay grade. Use your word processing Tools function to keep track of your word count. In addition to the hard copy which you turn in to me during class, an electronic version using Microsoft Word (either Vista or XP versions are fine) should be dropped into the designated drop box under the Course Materials tab on the mycourses webpage by 1:00 P.M. on March 29th. Use either Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer to drop your paper into the drop box as Safari does not seem to work well on mycourses pages. Failure to drop your essay in the drop box results in a 10 point deduction from your essay grade. Use your last name as the file name for the electronic version of the paper (i.e. adams.doc or manson.docx). Electronic files will be used to check for compliance with the word count limit. Use normal margins and double-spacing. Please do not use a font size smaller than 10 point. Your review must be turned in with a cover sheet and must have a bibliography if you use sources other than GGS or Manning. The cover page and bibliography do not count towards the word limit. The cover page needs to include your name and the title of your review. Do not put your name anywhere except on the cover sheet. You may use any formal style of writing and referencing for your review that you choose, except one that uses footnotes or endnotes. The most important thing to consider is that you remain consistent. Consult a reference guide or the course instructor if you have questions concerning style or approach. Try to limit the number of direct quotes you use from Diamond, except to make critical points. But, at the same time, be sure to indicate the page numbers of the text as you refer to them in your review. Feel free to use a shorthand abbreviation such as (GGS:43) to save space.
Your review will be graded on the following criteria: format (did you follow the instructions outlined above?), structure (are your sentences and paragraphs arranged in a logical and coherent manner?), grammar (includes typos and sentence structure), clarity (is your writing clear and comprehensible?), and critical commentary (have you critically and thoughtfully evaluated the issues you have been asked to address?). Remember, this paper is used to fulfill the Social Science Core writing requirement, so writing counts as much as content.
Poster Project (due May 13th)
Your poster topic is your own choice, however, the theme of the poster must come from the course title "Ancient Civilizations of the Old World"; i.e. any theme relevant to what we study in this course with the exception of New World topics of any kind. New World topics are not permitted even though the Diamond book touches on these issues. If you have any doubt whether or not your topic is appropriate, please clear your topic through the course instructor. Likewise, both Sandy and I will be happy to provide you advice and direction during the construction of your poster. You are also invited to visit my office to see examples of posters from years past. The poster has a maximum size limit of 36 by 48 inches and should be placed on sturdy, self supporting poster board. Sturdy poster board, within the permissible size limits, is available from the Anthropology Dept. secretary (Bev Burley) for a price of $5. You may choose to work with a partner on this project, and if you do, you will both receive the same grade and possible bonuses if you win a place in the contest. Do not work with someone who you feel is riding your coat-tails. If you come to class with both of your names on the poster, it represents your mutual consent that you have both contributed to the final product. I will intervene in any disputes if necessary, but strongly suggest you choose wisely.
Your goal for creating the poster is to inform an audience of your peers creatively about the specific aspect of "Ancient Civilizations of the Old World" you have chosen to research. In other words, this project is first and foremost a RESEARCH project. Choose a focused subject for the poster which allows you to communicate the essence of the topic both visually and verbally in a relatively small space. All posters should include a title and a concise abstract, placed somewhere on the front of the poster, that summarizes your poster topic. Put your name(s) at the bottom of the abstract.
All written text which is used to provide key information and transitions MUST have citations tying into your bibliography. Plagiarism should be carefully avoided in this project – give credit where credit is due. All images must also have captions which include shorthand bibliographic citations tying into the bibliography. In-text citations and image citations can be in any style or shorthand as long as you are consistent (for example, Johnson 1992:32; moveon.org/image4). Complete references are to be placed in a bibliography which is to be pasted on the back of the poster (this includes complete website references so that typing in this address would bring up the specific page or image). Your research must include a minimum of five references (ten if you work with a partner), only three (or six if you work with a partner) of which can be web sources. Be sure to balance text with images as posters are ultimately a visual learning medium.
Your poster will be graded on the following six categories. Together, these six categories create a rubric which sums to 100 points.
1) Format = 10 points
- required size and sturdiness of poster board
- all images and cited text have references that tie into bibliography
- complete and scholarly bibliography on back of poster
- title and abstract
- all font is typed or very neat (i.e. no handwriting allowed except that created by using templates)
2) Theme/Focus = 15 points
- appropriate for the course (i.e. related to our topics and concepts)
- expressed consistently throughout the poster through your text, sub-sections, and captions
- narrow topic (not too broad), that allows you to communicate a specific topic to the audience in the space allowed
3) Information/Background Research = 25 points
- includes informative text which summarizes/explains your topic
- sub-sections have appropriate transitions which communicate your topic
- evidence of a thorough research effort is present in bibliography and text
4) Images = 20 points
- images must be sharp with good contrast
- the images fit together stylistically to communicate/teach about your topic
- images have explanatory captions
- the appropriate balance of images were used to communicate your topic
5) Presentation/Layout = 15 points
- well designed thoughtful poster
- colors well coordinated, attractive and catches the eye
- background is appropriate, ties together poster
6) Clarity = 15 points
- your written sections are clear and concise
- your text is easily readable and grammatically correct
- text and images are clearly related

I have had this itching on my neck, sort of down both sides in the front, anyone else ever had this problem, I noticed it after sitting out in the cold at a soccer game, I kept pulling my sweater up close and I did use some dial soap at the same time, but quit that soon after, its been 5 or 6 weeks,I have tried different anti itch creams. |

Maybe it's time to see a dermatologist. |
Allergic to wool sweater? Dial is 1 of few soaps I can use. Ivory & Dove just about itch me to death! Look at everything you are using on your skin or wearing the past 5-6 weeks, maybe it is something new you are using. Do you have spots or redness etc. Mom just went to dermatologist as her back itches all the time(she thinks it's shingles) but some days it is nearly clear(of course it was when she went to dr.)so Dr. couldn't really tell. Only evidence was few spots where she had scratched so much it broke through the skin. Are you using Tide clothes soap, it is highly allergy causing. Most of my family gets serious reaction to it. Too acid food can cause strange reactions especially as you get older. Almonds, strawberries & pineapple are suddenly causing corners of my mouth to crack open & itch & burn. Found out friend has same thing & Dr. told her lot of people can't take much acid in food as they get older. Hope you find out what it is that is causing it. Did you change medicines or start a generic in place of name brand, sometimes fillers are different & cause problems. |
When I donated blood, they used iodine to clean my arm & that caused my neck & chest to itch. Finally figured it out after 2 rounds of that itching. After going to the Dr. and being on predisone several times, a friend suggested that I try two natural products - Goldenseal root capsules and Echinacea capsules. That worked for me. I am always glad when I can use natural products. Hope you find something to relieve your itching. |

Reference: What palomino lover hasn't dreamt of owning Roy Roger's Trigger or Trigger Jr.? I've always been fascinated with them, but finding factual information amid the sea of rumors was sometimes difficult. When I came across an article in the Voice Magazine (The official publication of the TWHBEA), I was finally given some factual information! The original Trigger is said to be a cross between a Walking Horse and a Thoroughbred, but Trigger Jr. was a full-blooded Tennessee Walking Horse named Allen's Gold Zephyr! He was registered TWHBEA (#431975) and PHBA (#4055). The TWHBEA records that he was foaled on January 1st, 1941. Trigger Jr. replaced the original "Trigger" when he became older and infirmed. Trigger Jr. was mounted just like 'Trigger, the old man'. You may see him along with Trigger, Buttermilk and Bullet at the Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum and Happy Trails Theatre in Branson, MO.
While I was researching my own buckskin stallion's pedigree, I was thrilled to learn that he is a descendant of Allen's Gold Zephyr! Growing up watching Roy Rogers and dreaming of Trigger, the discovery was quite a thrill!

There are a few things blooming here now, and more to come as spring is now less than a month away. Thought a few pictures of flowers might brighten someone's day. Avedon First is a surprise--Blooms already showing on Red Ruffles azalea. This is a double narcissus which is a surprise to me, for I didn't think doubles would do well here. I have no idea of the name, all the narcissus were on the property when we moved here and they are those that are adapted to the south. Also, these will reseed and they can grow in tough places. You can see what I mean by tough places. These flowers are pretty much growing on the rocky land on the east side of our property. This is a closeup of the double narcissus I believe this is the narcissus "The Pearl".. It is a tazetta type, multiple blooms on each stem. Very closeup of the double narcissus Snow Drop Clump--these came from an old abandoned farmstead. This is our huge lovely winter honeysuckle in full bloom. It is always abuzz with lots of honey bees. The fragrance is out of this world--love this shrub!!! Closeup of the trumpet type daffodil--we have several of these on the property, but they don't bloom as well as the small flowered types. These are the earliest to bloom--the campernelle narcissus and they began to open the last week of January. These were here when we moved to this property in 1999. I have no idea just how long they have been here. Closing with something different--these are our Firepower nandinas on the south side of our house. We planted these in 2001, and they are really colorful through the winter, In a month or so, the red leaves will start to shed and the new green foliage will appear. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just what I needed to see. Lovely bulb pics to brighten the day. I so long for something green to be showing. Thanks for posting. Julia |
all are very pretty,AVEDON, I found a lone little daff blooming yesterday in the yard.they been here for years and slowly disappearing. jean |

YAY! Signs of spring somewhere! All very welcome to see. I wish I could smell that honeysuckle. We have tons of snow here....just shoveled out from the last 2 snowstorms and are now expecting another round tomorrow. It will be a long wait for some of us til we see signs of life in our gardens so we appreciate your pictures and hope you will show us more! Thanks, Avedon! Celeste |

I am Korean and many claim Bann is not authentic, but I still enjoy coming here for the ambience and the Americanized take on Korean food. The dungeness crab rolls are a must. The soups are very good here as well. Cocktails are inventive, and the service is very friendly and attentive.
Posted by markie on 05/24/2007
Excellent food, high-quality preparation. Prime Korean fusion food. Good service. Experiencing Korean barbequeue is just great fun!
Posted by iLoveFood on 01/04/2007
I have always wondered why Korean food never gets the love that Chinese and Japanese food do. Bann represents an excellent attempt by a Korean eating establishment to reach out to the non-Korean audience, and its menu and service are definitely non-Korean friendly. But there is something incredibly odd about having the waiter not understand my request for a specific bottle of soju (because my accent's so good!), or having to pay for a side of garlic to eat with my BBQ (all those side dishes usually come for free). If you're looking for a more genuine Korean experiece, head down to K-town. I'm sorry to say, however, that even in K-town the taste and value of food do not come close to what you can get on the other coast.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/23/2006
I like to call it "Progressive Korean" food and it was excellent. Great atmosphere. loved it!
Posted by Brewster on 08/28/2006
Pork ribs first course - dry and tough. Calamari and eggplant in spicy sauce - very good, and almost enought to overcome the rest. Kal bi barbeque as main course - lazy cuts-without much to commend them. Service inattentive, much too long at every stage. Will not return and advise others to take same course - seems to be trend as restaurant was virtually empty at 7:30Pm on Monday. Go to K-town.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/27/2006
The food was very good but overpriced. The atmosphere was very trendy and cool. The food is interesting BUT this is nothing like authentic Korean food. If you want to try real Korean food, head to K-town on 32nd street. I hope non-Koreans realize this isn't authentic but more fusion.
Posted by missegee on 04/19/2006
This is much more hip than its parent Woo Lae Oak. The menus are very chic, they look like a woman's designer clutch. The food is good, just don't get too carried away in conversation because you're cooking the entrees. My boyfriend and I thoguht it was a lot of fun though and the Hudson Hotel is down the block for drinks after if you'd like.

When should I prune my tree?
Citrus are very forgiving when it comes to pruning. Prune citrus just after fruiting. Pruning can also be done before flowering. Do not prune outdoor citrus trees in the fall if in a frost zone.Entered by gwTamara
