Barbara JohnsonBarbara Johnson
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. Barbara Aldrich Purdy Johnson, 88, a resident of Mountain Home, passed away Tuesday, February 26, 2013, at the Good Samaritan Village Nursing Home.
She was born April 16, 1924, the second child and only daughter to Ellery Redfield (later Vermont Senator Purdy) and Katharine Aldrich Purdy. Barbara was the wife of the late Frederick A. Johnson Jr. with whom she had a son, Frederick A. III.
She graduated from Rutland High School, Rutland, Vermont, in 1942, attended Wheelock College in Boston, Massachusetts, for a year and then enlisted in the Womans Army Corps (WAC) toward the end of WWII. After basic training at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, she served in the Base Ops office at Herington Air Force Base in Herington, Kansas, and was discharged in November 1945, after the war ended. Back in Rutland, she worked as a flight attendant for a commuter airline to New York City and Boston. Once, in flight, the door blew open and she reached out and pulled it back shut.
She married Johnson September 25, 1946, and lived in Chicago, Illinois, for five years while he worked for his masters and Ph.D. in petroleum geology at the University of Chicago. They moved to Midland, Texas, where he was employed by the Humble Oil & Refining Co. She worked as a secretary at SOHIO Oil Co., and later as secretary at the original Episcopal Church in Midland. She was also a water safety instructor and gave swimming lessons to youngsters at her home. Their hobby was breeding and showing German shepherd dogs around the country for many years. They moved to Houston, Texas, in 1966, and transferred to Denver, Colorado, in 1968. They divorced in 1980 after 34 years of marriage.
Barbara, over the next 10 years, lived in Kanab, Utah, Tucson, Arizona, Eagle River, Alaska, and Carson City, Nevada, before returning to Colorado. She always loved the mountains and the great outdoors. She enjoyed skiing, swimming and horseback riding most of her life and was a great animal lover, becoming quite an accomplished artist with animal portraits using pastels.
She relocated to Mountain Home, Arkansas, at the urging of her son in 2003, and lived out her remaining years there. She loved the area because it reminded her of her home state of Vermont. She loved the lakes and she loved the company of her son and his wife, Dorothy. Her last year was spent in the loving and capable hands of the staff at Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Mountain Home. She slipped into a coma quietly and painlessly with Dorothy at her side on Tuesday, February 26, and passed shortly thereafter. Her son was at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, his place of work for 37 years at the time, but was able to return home on February 27.
She is survived by her older brother, 92-year-old Ellery Redfield Purdy Jr. and wife Elaine of Rutland, Vermont; five granddaughters and one grandson, Krysta I. Johnson of Bremerton, Washington, Setanya Snover and Lela Raymond of Ketchikan, Alaska, Carolyn Malcolm and Kathleen Vest, both of Anchorage, Alaska, and William Loyd Herren of Mountain Home; 16 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren and another on the way.
Barbara accepted Jesus into her heart just over a year ago, so now we all know where shes at today.
The funeral service was held Sunday, March 3, 2013, at the Twin Lakes Baptist Church with Dr. Sam Bailey officiating. Burial will be private under the direction of Conner-Hankins Funeral Home.

Just wanted to say I find this concrete and hypertufa forum very interesting.Late last year I finished a celtic cross I made from packing foam glued together and wooden dowls and pvs pipe for the armature and carved all into a celtic cross and covered it with concrete patch in the tubs bought at the local hardware and then painted and stained with acrylic and latex paint and it turned out pretty well ...looks like an authentic irish cross thats been out there for ages.Its on the 2nd or 3rd page of my webshots at http://community.webshots.com/user/lazyjranch100 I hope that works sometimes those webshots are hard to get into.Anyway I wanted everyone to know that you can use old packing foam from like freezer delivery boxes and such with some wire or woodendowls or pvc pipe to beef it up for strength and make some sculptures you just have to experiment.lazyj |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for posting the neat photos. Your cross looks great - very artistic. I keep meaning to experiment with concrete over styrofoam more. I think it has great possibilities. I have a couple of questions for you: 1. how do you cut your foam? I hate the mess when I use a knife or saw. The best suggestion I have heard is a hot knife that sort of melts the foam as you carve or cut it. 2. How thick are you putting the concrete layer? 3. How heavy would you guess your cross is ? thanks, |
Styrofoam is fantastic to work with! I made my first 'tufa piece on an old styrofoam cooler. It looked like it was stone and would weigh a ton but it was so light and easy to move around the garden. I like to use styrofoam for "fleshing out" armatures for 'tufa projects. It makes very nice, angular rocks. I use the score and break method for shaping, sort of like cutting glass. Be sure and break it in small bites. Remember that styrofoam is actually little pellets and will not want to break cleanly. I've thought about trying my electric carving knife but haven't got around to it. I usually use the knife to carve foam rubber. I rescued to wonderful styro coolers from my neighbor's curb side shopping bin. They're from some steak company (the coolers, not my neighbors) and are the neatest shape. I'm going to try Quickwall on them so the shape will come through. The nice thing about using styro for 'tufa planters is that the plants have some extra insulation around the roots. I've easily overwintered plants in my styro planters and in my area there is the added plus of keeping the soil cooler in summer. Don't forget to put the drainage holes in before you 'tufa! |

Madcat - thank you for the inspirational photos! Your work is amazing. I would love to know - if it is not a trade secret - if the columns for stage props are just styrofoam or if they have a steel (or otherwise) armature inside. I assume props need to be light enough to move around but secure enough to not fall over. Does your work involve concrete over the styrofoam? These photos show such magnificient results that I would never have guessed foam was involved but I can see someone (you?) carving what appear to be the final details into the foam. Again - thanks for this look into what is possible with styrofoam. Laura |
- Posted by billie_ann 6b PA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 17, 06 at 1:02
Laura, From the FAQ on this person's web site they coat the styrofoam core with fiberglas or urethane. Nothing says concrete but it's possible. Billie |
- Posted by madcat_carver (My Page) on Fri, Mar 17, 06 at 16:03
Hi, We use urethane coatings on our EPS sculptures. Sometimes we use fiberglass but only on urethane foam otherwise it would melt the foam. The pillars are just painted foam. |
I appreciate the replies to my questions. Thanks! I think I may try making a pillar.... especially if I can find a source for give-away styrofoam rounded shapes. (I do not have any carving talent but I think I could stack things). Laura |
- Posted by wargoddess 5 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 3, 07 at 18:37
Hey, Madcat, is there a tutorial somewhere that teaches how to do the type of sculpture you are doing? I would dearly love to learn how to make such cool stuff. >^,^< |
nmgirl I am wondering how you used the styrafoam boxes. Did you put a layer of hypertuffa on the inside or the outside. or did you cover both. How thick? Please explain if you dont mind. Thanks |

The 90-mile separation resolved the "Who's the boss?" question for the highly competitive pair. Technically, it's a 50-50 partnership in AAA Landscape and Arid Solutions, LLC, a wholesale nursery specializing in Southwest natives and desert-adapted trees and plants. An executive board oversees the companies run by the brothers. Robert is CEO of AAA Landscape; Richard is president of AAA Landscape and Southern Arizona General Manager. Together, they serve as managing partners of Arid Solutions.
Richard says, "Bob and I started out in maintenance; it's always been there, but there have been times we haven't fully appreciated it for what it is, the source of long-term relationships that produce sustainable income. Our company performs best with a 50:50, or at the most a 60:40, construction to maintenance relationship."
Richard says, "We are all about sustainability - sustainable relationships as well as sustainable landscapes." Sustainable landscape management (SLM) starts with the selection of plants appropriate for the area, considering soil conditions, temperatures, water requirements and microclimates as well as intended usage and client preferences.
As a full service landscape company, AAA works with the developer on designing the property. The Tucson branch has a landscape architect on staff to facilitate the relationships. Some of the larger planned communities United States.
In the Phoenix area, most of the land has been farmed prior to its conversion to urban or commercial development. Tucson, however, retains much of the native high Sonoran desert, complete with washes, riparian area and habitat for animals.
"Most of the area we're developing here (Tucson) is first use," says Richard. "We opt to work with developers who understand that and incorporate the environmental elements into the master plan."
Construction and maintenance interact. Richard notes that after about 10 years, a landscape is generally ready for an update, incorporating plants and hardscape features that reflect new introductions and evolving lifestyles. With many client relationships extending 25 years or longer, these types of projects add up to about $1 million per year.
The turf management program begins with managing the soil and carries through to proper fertilization, irrigation and mowing. Tree and shrub management includes observation for overall health along with proper pruning extending to full arborist services. All plant maintenance programs follow best management practices (BMPs), whether the issue is weeds in the turf or plant beds, or disease and pest infestations.
Water issues touch every aspect of landscaping and maintenance in the U.S. Southwest. AAA incorporates the latest technology in bringing sustainability to this finite resource. "We can live in this desert with the water we have, but we must use it and reuse and go lightly on the land," says Richard. Along with water audits and computer-controlled irrigation based on ET information, AAA designs projects with water harvesting in mind - from the contouring of landscaped and paved areas to capture from downspouts to catching and using air conditioner condensate. This commitment to advancing education in the region is reflected in the family's role in developing the Underwood Family Garden-Sonoran Landscape Laboratory at the University of Arizona.
Jeff Hatfield serves as regional manager for the Tucson Landscape Management Division. He has two district managers, each with $2.5 million portfolios. They oversee the site supervisors, who oversee the foremen who work on the job sites directing their crews. "We've set up branch locations, grouping our crews geographically by the areas they serve. Anywhere from 20 to 40 people will report to, and be deployed from, each of these sites," says Richard. "This cuts travel time and results in greater productivity while reducing fuel costs."
Though crew size varies, most are three or four, including the foreman. Each works a predetermined rotation among its assigned sites. A crew may work an apartment site for two days, an HOA for two days, and a business site for one day. The larger communities have at least one onsite crew full-time.
All company vehicles are equipped with a GPS tracking and locating system to ensure they can be accounted for in real time. "Tracking also allows us to compare routes for travel time and fuel efficiency," says Richard. "If we could cut fuel usage by 10 percent, that would give a huge boost to profitability."
Along with fuel use, crew productivity, site conditions and the labor budget for each property are monitored weekly. The information is shared with the management team, including the foreman for each site. Richard says, "The foremen need those tools to manage their resources effectively."
The Phoenix and Tucson sites are similarly designed for peak efficiency. Both have ample outdoor space for company vehicles and large equipment. The main Tucson building is 7,000 square feet and houses offices for the management and administrative staff, including an onsite IT specialist, and an impressive meeting room equipped for teleconferencing.
At the rear of the building is a large storage area for supplies and an extensive arsenal of small equipment. It opens into a multiple bay shop, divided into two sections, one equipped with a lift. Richard says, "Anything down is lost time and lost money. So we have our own fleet mechanics maintaining everything from our trucks and tractors to our mowers and two-cycle equipment."
The company utilizes technology in multiple ways to improve client services. For example, a GPS mapping system is used to precisely locate all trees, major irrigation and landscape components for each job site providing "real time databases for continuous inventory and observation." Work is underway to expand the data tracked and integrate it more fully into long-term enhancement planning programs.
"We're high tech and high touch," says Richard. "Technology is great, but it doesn't build relationships, people do."
The foundation is simple: do what you say; be kind to everyone up or down the ladder; and give back to your community. "It's the ethical, fun way to run a business. It's practical, too. When people like you and think you're doing a good job, you get the benefit of the doubt when you mess up occasionally. And we all do. With a strong relationship, it's easier to make that call to admit it, apologize, and agree on what to do to make it right."
Internal connection is equally important. "If my office door is open, anyone can knock and come in. We have an in-house newsletter. All of our personnel, from the foremen on up have their own email address. We hold daily tailgate talks with our crews in the field."
Monday mornings start with a meeting involving 10 to 12 people: the office staff, division managers, the head of the sales division, the landscape architect and chief mechanic. "We go around the room with each person detailing the work they have coming up so we can best determine how to help each other. We close in prayer," says Richard.
Video conferencing provides fast and effective interaction for the executive team, the accounting staff, landscape or maintenance teams, and various intercompany committees. It also connects the board and committee meetings of the multiple associations and community organizations the company partners with and supports. Richard says, "It cuts down on windshield time, a tremendous cost savings. Even better, it creates the personal connection that fosters accountability and produces results."
The economic downturn hit hard in Tucson, with new construction dwindling to nearly zero. In turn, the company's construction division sales dropped from $25 million a year to $5 million. "We moved all the estimating to one location," says Richard. "People who had done one job were doing two or three. With what became two recessions, back to back, we were forced to do something we had hoped never to do: layoff construction workers."
In the maintenance division, in return for full employment, the company curtailed holiday and vacation time and did away with matching funds in the pension plan. "We temporarily cut back to a 38-hour workweek and downsized by attrition," notes Richard.
AAA aggressively sought and secured new business including some military base work in El Paso, Tulsa, San Antonio and Austin. "We've opened an office in San Antonio to serve that market more effectively and are developing more maintenance business there. And gradually, construction is increasing in Arizona," Richard reports.
Staffing is ongoing, with applications always accepted. Managers contact the HR department when looking to add personnel. Applications are reviewed to determine those most qualified for specific positions. They are then contacted to come in for interviews.
The lack of a robust, strictly enforced national guest worker program puts added pressure on landscape companies throughout the Southwest. AAA Landscape meets the immigration issue head on. "We decided early on that we'd be squeaky clean," says Richard. "The current e-verify program provides an effective check of legal or illegal status. Because we're very open about using it, the word spreads and few non-qualified apply."
"We hire the best people and then use every resource available to enable them to expand their knowledge and expertise," says Richard. They promote the Arizona Landscape Contractors Association certified landscape professional program and continuing education classes. A couple full-time in-house educators assist with onsite training, including both English and Spanish as a second language. Richard says, "The investment in our people is the base for the sustainable relationships that result in a sustainable business."

This was absolutely fantastic and super easy, although a little time consuming. I couldn't find cardamom pods and substituted 1 teaspoon ground cardamom instead. A definite keeper, although like others have mentioned I think I will play with it next time to try to lighten it a little. It wasn't spicy enough for me, so I added more red pepper when I added the chicken at the end of the cook.
This is a great recipe and even better the next day. I followed the recipe exactly, except I cooked the chicken on the grill for 6 minutes rather than in the broiler. This is a keeper.
Did half cream half milk to cut down the fat and I couldn't find non-Greek plain yogurt so I used the Greek yogurt and it turned out delicious. Wonderful flavors.
Delicious. I did cut the pepper flakes in half but i might add the full amount next time.I also used 1cup of half and half and 1cup of cream, cutting the fat more than half! Will definitely make again.
LOVED THIS!!! Have never made Indian food before and was nervous about how well this would turn out, but it was perfect. I also was an idiot and accidentally added the ENITRE spice mixture to the chicken with yogurt. Simply added half of the amounts to the sauce later and everything was fine. Next time, will try to make it with healthier ingredients (ie. switch out the whole milk yogurt and heavy cream for something lighter). Pretty sure it'd still be delicious.
Excellent. We love Indian food and its hard to find in our area, so if we want Indian, I have to make it at home. This rivals tikka we would order in a restaurant, plus I can make it healthier at home; I.e no salt and less cream. I agree that it's very important to char the chicken first. Will definitely make this again.
Wonderful! Made exactly as specified and was really impressed. Served with basmati and the accompanying spicy spinach recipe. Yummy!!
Made this immediately yesterday after the recipe landed in my inbox (thank you, Epicurious!). So easy to put together. Don't let the ingredient list scare you off, and make sure to use the freshest spices you can find. An Indian friend of mine grinds her own coriander, cumin, etc., which would make this dish amazing. (First I have to use up what's already in my cabinet!). We, too, grilled the chicken while the sauce was simmering. Would do again in a heartbeat.
My husband, who has been traveling to and working in India for 25 years says this is the best meal I've ever made. He loves heat but I like it medium hot, so this recipe is a great compromise. I followed the recipe exactly -- found the peppers in my super market, used the whole can -- I think the secret is marinating the chicken which I did for 7 hours. Served with basmati rice, cilantro and salad.

Enactus Launches Series of Events for the Up to Us Campaign
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014
Do you know how the federal deficit affects your daily life? The Enactus team at West Virginia Wesleyan College has been working hard behind the scenes in the past months to launch a series of events in a partnership with the Up to Us campaign, an initiative by former President Bill Clinton, to educate the public about the federal deficit.
The first student-led event will be held Saturday, January 25 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in Hyma Auditorium on Wesleyan's campus. This is an informational event about how the federal deficit has and will continue to affect you.
The event will feature three speakers: Zack Klingensmith, Wesleyan instructor of business and economics, to speak about social security and healthcare; Lance Koury from Ameriprise Financial in Buckhannon to speak about investing; and Kelly Hughes, assistant professor of business and economics, to speak about the recent housing market crash, making household decisions, the government shut down, and their relationship with public policy.
While many people do not realize it, these topics are heavily correlated with the federal debt and decisions our elected officials are making. We can make a change by gaining knowledge. Learn more about how you can be a part of this movement. The event also includes lunch.
In addition as part of the competition, students are judged on how many people they can reach with an educational video. The video is posted on YouTube here, which discusses specifically how the federal debt is affecting student loans.
Enactus is an international non-profit organization that brings together student, academic and business leaders who are committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need.

The color and shape of this flower is a little different than I was expecting from the photos others have posted of Half & Half. I received a mislabeled bulb in the same batch, so I am a bit paranoid about if this is really Half & Half. Any opinions? As you can see, the scape is also very short. Do you think this is just because the bulb was reacting to the stress of being shipped? Will it happen again when it blooms? Thanks for any opinions. :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, I'd definitely say that was Half & Half; just might be a little stressed. Here a picture of mine from last year and to me they look the same. Donna |
I agree with Donna, looks like a stressed half & half. Are you growing in hydroton? -J |

The rebate amount is dependant on volume: $1 per gallon stored. For example, a 75 gallon rain barrel will merit a $75 rebate and a 500 gallon cistern will merit a $500 rebate.
Tree Rebate
Do you want to plant a specific tree on your property that is not one of the RiverSmart Homes approved trees and you would like to plant your tree sooner? Then you may apply for the Casey Trees tree rebate. Seven genus and 27 species - mostly native oaks and hickories - qualify for rebates up to $100 per tree. Small and medium canopy trees continue to be eligible for rebates up to $50 per tree. Invasive tree species including Norway Maple, Tree of Heaven, Mimosa, Bradford Pear, Sawtooth Oak and Siberian Elm and the Ash tree should not be planted and do not qualify for the rebate. Dwarf trees and shrubs are also ineligible.
Rain Garden, Pervious Paver, and Impervious Surface Removal Rebate
This rebate is based on how many square feet of impervious area you are treating with the rain garden or pervious pavers/impervious surface removal.

The minimum square footage that you must treat is 400 square feet, which would total a $500 rebate. The maximum rebate is $1,000 or treating 800 square feet or more of impervious surface.

Hi, I have an area between my house and a concrete sidewalk that is full of nutsedge. I would like to spray the nutsedge w/ Image and cover up that area with pavers. Does anyone know how long to wait between spraying and laying pavers? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you're expecting Image to get rid of the nutsedge, I hope you have better luck than I've had. I've not been able to get it to do more than top kill. The nutgrass always returns. Since you're putting in pavers, you might consider one of those brush-killer herbicides that prevent the regrowth of anything. Good luck. Trying to get rid of nutgrass seems to be trip through uncharted territory. |

Jenny is the social worker at Full Life's South Seattle Adult Day Health Center, where she helps families enroll in Memory Care and Wellness Services or the Health and Wellness program for adults with chronic conditions. While working at Full Life and studying for her master's degree in social work, she interned at the University of Washington Memory Disorders Clinic, with a special focus on persons with young-onset Alzheimer's disease and their families. She also interned at a Veteran's Administration primary care clinic.
"I love the range of people we work with," Jenny says. "They might be 21 or 101-years-old, but they all have unique reasons for attending adult day health. Not only do they get skilled nursing treatments and rehab therapies, but they also discover new interests and abilities and make new connections with others."
Jenny helps participants and their caregivers become part of a supportive community at Full Life and also links them to resources in the community to strengthen their safety net.
"I really enjoy the relationships we develop, working with people over time," Jenny reflects, "often until the end of their lives. It's a privilege to offer such real support to our participants and their families."
Pictured: Adult day health participant Lora Chiorah-Dye flexes her muscles with Jenny.
]]>April Prepotente always had a fascination with sociology, but after learning about her interest in working with people, her university adviser steered her to the UW School of Social Work, where she received her bachelor's degree.
She spent the better part of a year travelling after graduation, and when she returned to Seattle in 2009, she took a position as case manager at Full Life Care, and now is an intake specialist at our South Seattle Adult Day Health Center.
"I totally fell in love with our participants," April recalls, "and I've learned so much about the different needs of people with developmental disabilities, acquired brain injury and multiple sclerosis."
April's particularly encouraged by her work with Carisa Sampson, a new participant who has an acquired brain injury as the result of a stroke. While she made great progress while residing at her first rehab center, subsequent facilities proved a disappointment to her and her family.
"After she learned of the activities at Full Life's Heads Up Program, she was intrigued," April says, "and her mother is sold on the program as well. We're all so pleased that she's back on a good rehab path."
"Being the intake specialist allows me to connect people to services they might not otherwise receive at home," April says. "Families walk out our door grateful to hear that they can leave their loved ones with peace of mind, knowing that we are working with them on their various needs and goals. It's the most satisfying part of the intake process."
Pictured: April (left) with Carisa.
Sarah Dickerson took the long road to adult day health. Actually, it was a long flight. To England and back.
During her studies toward her bachelor's degree in social work from the University of Washington, Sarah went to England for a hospice internship. Unlike in the U.S., where hospice is home-based, Sarah found herself at a hospice facility, which also housed an adult day health center. She had never heard of adult day health before, but after working there for a brief period, she was sold on the concept.
After graduation in 2008, Sarah took a case manager position at Full Life's Snohomish County Adult Day Health Center, where she worked with adults with developmental disabilities as well as elders with chronic health conditions.
Now Sarah works at the North Seattle Adult Day Health Center, conveniently located near her home. As the site's social worker, Sarah enjoys working with families and helping participants transition into attending the program. "I love seeing the transformation in a new participant," Sarah says, "as their apprehension and nervousness are replaced by anticipation and the comfort of being with new friends."
Sarah observes that family members are often stressed when they first call about the program. "For example, a wife calling to enroll her husband might talk really fast and be really stressed-out," she says, "but after they start the program, the four hours of rest and relaxation does wonders for them and improves their relationship at home, too."
Talking to family members on a regular basis, Sarah frequently shares information with them about helpful resources like the King County Caregiver Support Program. "I feel like I'm bringing little bits of light into a world for them that can be really dark and confusing," she says. "It's very rewarding to walk a family around our site while learning about their personal history. And then to be involved in their family at this juncture in their lives is incredibly rewarding."
Sarah is also at an exciting juncture in her own life: she and her husband are expecting a baby in July!

text: 3 Very please with thisPosted: 30/04/2009I use this cable to connect pc to 32" LCD tv. The cable and connectors are very sturdy. Very easy to set up. There are small vertical shadows on screen. But only on plain backgrounds with text. Not noticeable on photos and videos. Even after very close inspection. The shadows on plain backgrounds are very transparent and after a short while you dont even notice them. The delivery on this was very quick just like the other 2 products I purchased from here. This is excellent considering this is free. Definately value for money. So I recommend this cable for people who want to connect pc to tvs or monitors for normal home use.

The Institute has begun its preparations to celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of the United Nations' International Year of the Family in 2014, the 50th Anniversary of the Vanier Institute in 2015 and Canada's sesquicentennial in 2017. A Special Events Committee is planning ways to commemorate these important historic milestones.
This commemorative medal was created to mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada, a momentous occasion that has been marked only once before, by Queen Victoria in 1897.
The Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way not only for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country, but also to mark the contributions and achievements by Canadians to their community. During the year of celebrations, 60,000 deserving Canadians were recognized for their outstanding contributions and distinguished service.

Funcom teases new Secret World trailer {Massively}
Mar 26th 2010 2:31AM Skeleton review of Funcom MMOs:
PROS: They seem to be learning with every MMO and steadily improving what is released day 1
- They have yet to release an MMO that didn't suck day 1;
- They don't so much as wield a nerf bat as a solution to class imbalances, but rather use nerf grenades, which herds your class into a nerf minefield.... then drop a nerf nuke on you. No seriously, Funcom's idea of class balance is three guys, one with a stick, one with a rock and one with a bandage... and when the class you play reaches one of those three, then you know they have finished balancing your class.
I suggest formulating your expectations for this game around the thought, "hey this could be a real good game in a year or two".

All Points Bulletin video podcast shows off the music editor {Massively}
Jan 29th 2010 3:14AM One of the better features of Lord of The Rings Online is the ability to play an instrument and then apply a music score to that to play actual songs. I used to sit there for ages while waiting for party members just playing lute-versions of various songs I found on dedicated LOTR music sites.
I have not heard of this game until this entry, but this in-game player-created music feature is now on my "Things I want in the Best MMORPG Ever!" list. Smacking things with sticks and rocks and crafting cookie-cutter equipment shouldn't be the only things one can do in an MMO game; APB is showing me something I wish I had in other MMO's I have played.
Breakfast Topic: What? That's it? {WoW}
Nov 10th 2008 3:05PM Being in Australia, I missed the grand opening of BC, which was a pity.
The zombie event was great but if that was it, they should have started it a week or two later and reduced the timeframe a little.
But, like many others, I think Blizz had some technical issues with the post zombie even, and held off from triggering it. Patch 3.0.3 most likely fixed this and we might see a condensed last stage pre-release.
I am hoping they might be using the phasing technology for the release event, where everyone can enjoy the drama of the final assault and withdrawal of Lichypoo, whether they are on the server minute 1, or anytime when they finally purchase and install the expansion.

Can Blizzard fix all their launch problems in Wrath? {WoW}
Oct 31st 2008 2:52AM Apart from the statistics portion of achievements, another main cause of lag was the massive amount of inscription crafting that was occurring in the first few days of 3.0.2 being released. With people getting the novelty out of their systems and Blizz ironing out the associated server issues, the initial strain of the throng of players storming into Northrend will be nowhere near as bad as BC.
I'm more expecting issue with a Mongolian horde of 70s all battling for the same 50 Ice Rabbits (or whatever) in an area for the first couple of weeks, until the players start moving further into the new world at different leveling rates.

Oct 14th 2008 4:36PM I'm gonna sit on the Stormwind docks and fish for a bit while figuring out how to respec my magic powers.
Then I think I'll get a beard cut since its been a festering growth for neigh on 4 years.
Then I'll port to Darnassus and pick up some night elf hookers, bragging how I soloed Illidan with nothing by my big wand.
Giving PvE players their own Arenas {WoW}
Oct 9th 2008 1:59PM You could, as a possible variation, have 2-player and 3-player version of this as well. Just adjust the boss stats accordingly.
Heck, for the raid nuts, why not have a 25-player and 40-player option too, for some relatively quick raid-boss level coordination practice.

Making a wedding film, takes every fiber of your body and soul. It is a draining process. You concentrate on the couple on their story and within 10 minutes you try to tell the most compelling story you can. It's not an easy process, and sometimes it takes days, even weeks to get you started. I've always think that strong beginning and strong ending were the key to a great film, as the beginning is the one to hook you into it, and the ending is what allows the film to really flourish.
In the case of Sarah and Michael, I felt that the best way to go at it was to start with Michael's vow, and finish with Sarah's vows. I felt they would carry their story well, and will help the audience understand who they were as individuals and a couple. I hope you will enjoy it, and as usual any feedback or comments is welcome. So without further ado I present to you Sarah and Michael's wedding film. Enjoy

The Sylvester family had bartending in its blood. Whether it was Uncle Mickey holding court with 40 years' worth of regulars or Tony Sr. mixing one of his signature Skip and Go Nakeds, they exemplified the easy grace and no-nonsense craftsmanship found in a true barman's barman. That dedication to well-poured drinks carried over to Tony Jr., who has spent the last 35 years training mixologists nationwide through the curriculum of his ABC Bartending Schools. Taught behind fully functional bars, his courses educate students in topics ranging from drink recipes and equipment setup to flair moves and alcohol awareness. His schools also emphasize employment; after graduation, students can take advantage of a nationwide job placement service to land gigs in Miami nightclubs, Las Vegas casinos, or the bar cars of Chicago's El trains.
The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous centers understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of a skills assessment using diagnostic tools and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. Camps and after-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
A former professor with degrees from Tufts, Harvard, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Mike ElDeiry has dedicated himself to helping the next generation get into the best colleges to pursue their dreams. Focusing on the SAT and ACT admission exams, he founded Broward Tutorial Services, Inc. to help pupils learn the tricks and techniques that can help them ace the tests. In lessons, students learn such essential techniques as time management, process of elimination, and avoiding common traps laid by the exam writers or the pirates using the testing facility as a base. Under ElDeiry's tutelage, students have made marked improvements in their scores, with boosts of more than 300 points on the SAT.

I Went Raw Vegan
A Groupon Guide writer goes deep undercover into the world of vegetables.
The Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale has come a long way since its original 1958 incarnation as the Junior League's Fort Lauderdale Art Center, housed in a former hardware store. A fire in 1967 prompted the center to relocate to a temporary home in a former annex to what is now Nova Southeastern University—an institution with which the museum would later forge an intellectual and cross-disciplinary association. The museum as patrons know it today was designed by American architect Edward Larrabee Barnes and opened to the public in 1986. Within its bright-white exterior—with color apparently overflowing from its top, dripping down across the sides—stands a permanent collection of more than 6,000 pieces, including a significant body of work by early-20th-century American painter William Glackens. Other art in residence includes Picasso ceramics, creations of the northern European COBRA movement, and works from more than 90 contemporary Cuban artists in exile around the world.
After exploring the varying aesthetics of temporary exhibitions, guests can grab a bite to eat and question what makes a sandwich "art" in the café area of the Books & Books store. Adults and kids dive deeper into art via gallery talks, storytelling, and hands-on activities, as well as art-academy classes taught by locally and nationally renowned artists.
Every child learns differently and has their own unique set of challenges. For this reason, JFK Tutoring, Inc. maintains a network of more than 4,000 tutors—all of whom have completed a criminal and educational background check—and has parents interview potential candidates until they find one they feel will be the best match for their child. Upon choosing a tutor, parents can then arrange contracts by the hour, week, or month, whichever is most convenient for them. Annual memberships include regular progress reports for both parents and teachers and complimentary biannual math and reading assessments to gauge progress.
Each tutoring session can be scheduled at JFK's learning facility or onsite at the child's home, school, or other public place such as a library, church, or community center. Tutors use JFK's own nationally recognized lesson plans, which have shown to improve test scores of 97% of students after eight weeks. There are specialized courses for SAT prep, as well as SES programs for low-income students at designated Title I schools. To keep their skills sharp, students can also use online exercises to practice on their own time or when their increased capabilities have allowed them to wander into a fourth dimension.

Among the most accomplished and fabled tribes of Africa, no tribe was considered to have warriors more fearsome or more intelligent than the mighty Masai. It is perhaps surprising, then, to learn the traditional greeting that passed between Masai warriors: "Kasserian Ingera," one would always say to another. It means, "And how are the children?"
It is still the traditional greeting among the Masai, acknowledging the high value that the Masai always place on their children's well-being. Even warriors with no children of their own would always give the traditional answer, "All the children are well." Meaning, of course, that peace and safety prevail, that the priorities of protecting the young, the powerless, are in place. That Masai society has not forgotten its reason for being, its proper functions and responsibilities. "All the children are well" means that life is good. It means that the daily struggles for existence do not preclude proper caring for their young.
I wonder how it might affect our consciousness of our own children's welfare if in our culture we took to greeting each other with this daily question: "And how are the children?" I wonder if we heard that question and passed it along to each other a dozen times a day, if it would begin to make a difference in the reality of how children are thought of or cared about in our own country.
I wonder if every adult among us, parent and non-parent alike, felt an equal weight for the daily care and protection of all the children in our community, in our town, in our state, in our country... I wonder if we could truly say without any hesitation, "The children are well, yes, all the children are well."
What would it be like... if the minister began every worship service by answering the question, "And how are the children?" If every town leader had to answer the question at the beginning of every meeting: "And how are the children? Are they all well?" Wouldn't it be interesting to hear their answers? What would it be like? I wonder...

It's no secret that the educational system here in the United States is in serious trouble. If you take a look at our standardized test scores in reading, science, math and history as compared with those coming out of the other developed nations in the world you'll find a troubling trend. Elite students are no longer coming out of our school system. While that's a problem in elementary and high schools, it becomes even more of an issue at the university level. First of all, it's tougher now than at almost any other moment in history to afford a secondary education. Competition for grants and scholarships is incredibly stiff, and since much of the country is still suffering through a difficult recession, kids can't rely on their parents to pay their way through school anymore. That means student loans, and most graduates are now forced to enter a less than ideal job hunt with five or six figures of loan debt staring them in the face. It's clear that something has to change, and a small university in Newberry, South Carolina is betting that a new major program focused on social media may be the first step towards that change.
The new degree program offered by Newberry College is a true social sedia degree. Tania Sosiak, an Associate Professor in the department that will manage this new discipline described it to the Fox affiliate WACH based in Columbia, South Carolina. According to Ms. Sosiak, it's not just going to be the study of the perfectly crafted tweet. In fact, social media majors will study a cocktail of marketing, graphic design, psychology, communications and business. That's actually a hefty load, and if you consider the various requirements of many of the entry level jobs graduates contend for, it sounds like a fantastic preparation. Whether parents will agree that shelling out money for their kids to study the ins and outs of Facebook is worthwhile remains to be seen. But Ms. Sosiak and her contemporaries hope it will encourage kids who may be trending in the other direction to stay in school.
That mission may be tougher than ever. And it isn't only rising tuition costs that are to blame. Ever since the computer age has truly taken off the media has been inundated with stories of success that are unrelated to completing a degree program. Some of the biggest names is the tech game dropped out of school, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft boss Bill Gates. Of course, both of them were enrolled in programs at Harvard, so clearly they would have been fine regardless. But Steve Jobs, the late CEO of Apple actually mentioned dropping out of college during his famous Stanford University commencement address. He even declared that it was one of the best decisions he made in his entire life. In addition, forward-thinking college kids are finding some seriously enticing offers that go against completing college. Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal is giving some lucky kids $100,000 to drop out of school and start a company. How can a social media major and a mountain of student loan debt compete with that?
Other detractors suggest that now is not the time to spend hard-earned money on an unpredictable degree. Although there are plenty of career opportunities in social media, including work within marketing agencies and major corporations, it remains to be seen if this hodgepodge major will be acceptable on a resume. It will take some kids risking it, but this is a tough time to make a risky educational move. Hiring is very slow, and competition for even low paying jobs is stiff. How can a new, untested degree compete with options such as earning an online RN to MSN degree and immediately landing a dependable, well-paying job? The first availability of the social media major won't begin until the fall semester next year, so it will take several more years to find out for sure.

Many have speculated upon the killer feature that could be incorporated into the long-rumored Apple television set, a feature that would turn the television industry on its head. While it's difficult to predict what such a feature would be, one analyst points towards a massive hard drive, in excess of 2 terabytes, as the low tech piece of hardware that would facilitate the killer feature which has been the subject of previous rumors…the 4K resolution (via Motley Fool). 4K resolutions are 4 times the size of 1080p HD resolutions and, as an example, Sony has just begun shipping a tv with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels packed into a 55 inch display.
The idea behind this is that a 4K 'iTV' could be marketed as a 'Retina Display', but wouldn't require HDMI cables or a separate set top box. As the analyst, Mark Hibben, points out, the iPod was so innovative because it was a simple MP3 player with a big hard drive, and it would be that combination that would make an Apple television so successful.
That said, it would all be well and good for Apple to release a 4K television but the problem comes when it is time to pipe 4K content from iTunes to the television itself. A 4K sized movie, even with h.265 compression would be a significant file size, in excess of 25GB with maximum compression.
It'll be interesting to see how Apple approaches this, and if indeed, a big hard drive will solve everything.

Martin's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, Im Martin, and I LOVE everyone. I know to sit, and shake, and my foster mom is pretty sure Im housebroke. Im very sad when I became lost, my owners did not look for me. Can you give me a real home?
Other Pets at WV Pet, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Martin, a Morgantown Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever for sale in Morgantown, or seeking a Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in Morgantown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Morgantown 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 Morgantown 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 Golden Retriever breeders who help with Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Morgantown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bucatini all'amatriciana
There's a debate about the exact name and origins of this dish. In fact you can find it written as Bucatini all'Amatriciana or Bucatini alla Matriciana as well as Spaghetti alla matriciana. As far as its origins go it seems to come either from Rome or from the town of Amatrice in the Abruzzo region until 1927 now part of Lazio.
The ingredients are almost the same bucatini (they're a little bit thicker than spaghetti but they are hollow inside), guanciale which is cured and unsmoked pork jowls, canned tomatoes, red hot pepper and Pecorino cheese. Not everybody adds onions, I do because it makes the sauce sweeter and tastier. If I don't find guanciale I use pancetta which is non smoked bacon, cut in cubes. I make another exception to the recipe I prefer short pasta like pennette or pasta shells.
1 lb. bucatini or spaghetti
1/2 medium onion
1 cup guanciale cut in cubes but I prefer pancetta* because is leaner
3 cups canned Italian plum tomatoes
1/2 to 1 tsp. red hot pepper
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
freshly grated Pecorino romano cheese*
1. Warm up a large nonstick skillet add the oil and when it's hot put the thinly onion sliced.
2. Cook it until soft add the bacon and let it cook for about 5 minutes. If the bacon is too fat cook it beforehand and eliminate the extra fat and then add it to the onion.
3. Cut the tomatoes in cubes and add them to the onion and the pancetta. Add then salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cover the sauce and let it simmer for half an hour.
5. Prepare the pasta as directed and when is ready add it to the sauce in the skillet and mix.
6. Serve it hot and sprinkle with fresh grated Pecorino romano cheese.
* If you don't find the Pecorino romano cheese you can substitute it with Parmesan cheese. Please don't buy the cheese in the box, buy genuine Italian Parmesan.


text: The Alfaro Family wines are very good with 4 or 5 different varietals and several different vineyard specific wines. During a recent visit for tasting, there were 3 different Chardonnays as well as 3 or 4 different Pinot Noir as well as a Syrah and Merlot. Tasting gives a good opportunity to see the differences from the different growing climates... More

I see I am still stuck as the top post and it's a blank post. I can not get that taken off. Any since I am taking up your value space, I thought I would ask another question.
I started to use the singer 221 and it's kind of clunky, but the real problem is I can not wind the bobbin. I looked at the online manual and I tired to turn the wheel as instructed but the winder won't revolve. I need to buy an outside singer bobbin winder, because I have bernina machines and they won't wind a singer bobbin. I could to buy a singer machine just to wind a bobbin LOL. I can pick up a cheap sewing machine like at costco or maybe find one at a garage sale. The big older singers machines are expensive, but now it's like you can buy these tiny mini things. I think I could buy a whole new machine for less then the cost of one service visit for the singer 221 which would run me 100 dollars. I will probably take it down to sunset singer on Irving in San Francisco and see if I can hammer out a deal with them. It's just too expensive to service a machine. It was just serviced years ago, but never used it. I am just starting to use it. This is first time I tried to wind the bobbins so I may be doing it wrong and there is probably nothing wrong with the machine. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There should be a little lever that needs to be pushed against the bobbin to engage the winder. It keeps the thread feeding smoothly. If you can't get the winder to work, you could buy a Sidewinder. They cost around $30 at JoAnn's. Donna |

It good to know I can buy an outside bobbin winder. I hate having to stop a project and remove the thread just to wind a bobbin because you ran out. I think that would be a good product to have but I guess it won't work for the Bernina because Berninas are all sized differently. But, I am going to buy one right away maybe today even. |
- Posted by tropical_thought (My Page) on Sun, Feb 7, 10 at 13:13
I found a link for a side winder at about 18 dollars, but there may be shipping charges. I wanted to pass this link on because it lists the bobbins the sidewinder will not wind. There is a pink sidewinder that is really cute also, but it was a limited edition, and I missed out buying it new. I have to look at ebay now and compare. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Super discounted sidewinder

I got the bobbin winder, but it does not do a very good job. It kind of works if you sort of deal with it, and work on it, but it's not very good. So, I got the machine bobbin winder to work on the feather weight, I had not turned it to the belt. I wish there was a new updated manual with photos. Someone should write one. It's very hard to see the pictures and tell from the old manual what to do and read those directions. |
