If you look at a good bulb catalog, for example, Brent and Becky's, you will see that there are several divisions of daffodils. As a rule of thumb, jonquilla division is your best bet almost every time. They tend to be smaller bulbs, but they will return and multiply like crazy in your area. They don't mind damp soil, heavy soil, or humidity. They don't need much cold in the winter to come back. They are also early blooming and very sweetly fragrant. Early blooming is important because the later bloomers are often gone in a few short days due to our early warm weather. If you want to know more about bulbs in your area, you would do well to order a copy of Garden Bulbs for the South by Scott Ogden. It's indispensable for me. Here are some daffodils that I have had great luck with in east central MS. Campernelle Not a daffodil, but a truly excellent spring blooming bulb is Leucojum. It will do in some shade and doesn't mind damp at all. Ditto, Ipheion, especially Rolf Fiedler. |

Feedback Appreciated
Since the primary I have taken time to reflect on the race and listened to many supporters thanking me for running. I also had a chance to meet with Will Hurd and Quico Canseco about the upcoming runoff and where they stand on the issues. I know that you supported me for my strong constitutional stance and my commitment to secure our rights. I would really appreciate your feedback on both Will Hurd and Quico Canseco as I make my decision as to who I will support for the runoff election. We do not want 2 more years of Pete Gallego.Thank You
I have been and remain blessed, honored and humbled by the generous support of time, prayers, money and shoe leather, which so many of you gave for the cause of our campaign this past year. Given all our efforts, Tuesday was certainly a disappointing night as the results showed that I was not going to be the majority's choice this time around. Thank you everyone who helped in the cause of my campaign to be a part of restoring the Constitution to Congress, and liberty to our nation. From Devine, to Crane, Ruidosa to San Antonio, I have had the honor to meet many families and individuals who have in their hearts the flame of liberty – working their jobs, and living their lives wishing but to simply be left alone in peace, without the busybodies in government inserting themselves into every aspect of life.
Though we may have lost this skirmish, I assure you all that the war is not over, and I will continue to take an active roll in what will certainly be many more political battles for our liberties and rights to be recognized once again in this nation by our government officials.
Over the past few days I have reflected upon Tuesday's vote and the lessons of the past year regarding our mutual attempt to elect a true Constitutionally minded representative from our district. I invite everyone to remain in contact with me, and if you would, to give me your thoughts on what the campaign did well, and also on how and where things could and need to be improved upon.
Certainly I am disheartened by the final result of the vote tally, but not just because I managed only 18% of the votes cast, but more so, I am concerned by the fact that although almost everyone of our neighbors complains about the present state of affairs in our government, less than 10% of the eligible voters bothered to cast ballots in this primary – and that goes from the top of the ballot down. This bodes poorly for the cause of liberty to be victorious anytime soon, but I for one will not give up. I also wonder how many people will go vote this November and complain about how the ballot is full of races where the only option is to vote for the lesser of two evils, while never considering that it is they who by not voting in the primaries, allowed for the situation to exist, and ultimately too, allow for the continued violation of our rights by the very government which is supposed to protect those rights. It is these people though, that when they complain to us about the government, we ought to take that as an invitation and opportunity to convert them right then and there to the side of truth, helping them see the light, and getting them to become active in this cultural war.
One thing I know for certain is that there is a growing number of our friends and neighbors who feel that there is something wrong with the way our society is headed, and more and more, they are beginning to realize that it is our own government which sits at the root of this problem – that it is government itself which poses the greatest security threat to us all – a threat to our jobs, a threat to our economy, a threat to our lives and liberties. So, despite this setback, now is not the time to sit back or give up… the majority is only now beginning to awaken, and if we each do our job to tell our friends what we believe in, the more recruits to the cause of liberty we will gain.
Despite not winning Tuesday, there is still cause for celebration. I know of several good people (in our state and others) who have either made it through their primaries, or still have primaries to get through – people who will take the cause of liberty to Austin and DC. Over the next several weeks I will attempt to highlight as many of these individuals as possible in my continuing communications through the 23rd district. I would recommend that we all identify one or two of these fine people to get behind and help them in their efforts this season to get into office so as to make a real positive change in our government.
We will win this!

The Garrison Institute joins with The Rubin to host three well-known teachers who have recently published books about tapping the benefits of mindfulness, happiness, and focused engagement in the workplace. The exchange of ideas in this panel will derive from key points in the panelists' recently published books--Sharon Salzberg's Real Happiness at Work , Janice Marturano's Finding the Space to Lead and Daniel Goleman's Focus: the Hidden Driver of Excellence. Moderated by New York Times journalist David Gelles, who himself is writing a book entitled Mindful Work, the evening promises a lively debate from these distinguished leaders of the mindfulness movement.
The panelists explore how even the best jobs can be marked by stress, tough deadlines, impatient bosses, uncooperative subordinates, and seemingly endless meetings. But as science increasingly shows, meditation is an antidote. What if you could hit the pause button on the crazy momentum of your day, step back and meet your challenges with a sense of space and clear focus? Internationally known teacher and author Sharon Salzberg brings the immediate and direct practice of meditation to the arena of the workplace. Janice Marturano, a senior executive with decades of experience in Fortune 500 corporations, explains how to integrate the practice of mindfulness meditation and self awareness with effective techniques of management and mentorship. And psychologist Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., author of the New York Times bestseller Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence, discusses the three types of focus most necessary to exemplary performance in the workplace.
Presented jointly by the Rubin Museum of Art and Garrison Institute, where Salzberg and Marturano lead a retreat on Mindfulness at Work March 7-9.

Scientific Literacy (Released September 2007)
The National Science Education Standards is an ambitious project that many people were involved in developing. The guidelines place emphasis on inquiry based education. The process of inquiry involves describing objects and events, asking questions, testing explanations, and communicating ideas. This process is aimed at helping students develop critical thinking skills and logic, consider alternative explanations, and learn to use science knowledge and logic to acquire further knowledge (NSES, 1996). The NSES does not intend to dictate a specific curriculum, leaving curriculum decisions in the hands of states, communities, schools, and teachers. The NSES is meant to provide guidance in defining what students should know by different stages in their academic development and providing guidance on effective teaching methods. The standards specifically cover the following subject matter: teaching, professional development for teachers, student assessment, science education content, education program standards, and education system standards. Developers of the NSES anticipate it will take many years to implement the reforms outlined in the document.
For years K-12 assessments of science and mathematics knowledge have shown that U.S. students frequently lag behind their peers in other industrialized countries. A 2003 survey of mathematical skill has shown some improvement over the past decade; however, a 2000 science assessment has not shown similar improvement (SEI, 2006). We have yet to see the results from the implantation of the NSES, and there are substantial barriers in the process of improving science education. The SEI assessment of Elementary and Secondary Education found a number of factors that negatively affect the teaching of science and mathematics. Science and mathematics majors who go on to teach at the K-12 level frequently show lower academic performance then their peers who go on to jobs in science and technology. Frequently teachers are assigned teaching jobs outside the scope of their college majors. Schools commonly contend with low retention rates for science and mathematics teachers, as teachers move to new schools or leave teaching for more lucrative jobs or better working environments. With the current shortcomings of K-12 education, our society must continue to rely on colleges and outside sources of science information to help promote scientific literacy.

Welcome to The Playbook
Diplomacy is changing. As never before, practitioners of international relations are using tools of Cultural Relations and Public Diplomacy to engage, exchange with, or exert influence over people abroad. But often they are working alone. They lack access to a bank of experience and good practice. The Playbook seeks to provide the mechanism to fill meet that need and help their practice. It provides a way for practitioners around the world to share their experience in the range methods of engagement, and allows individual and perhaps isolated organisations to benefit from the collective experience of the whole community of organisations in the field.The Playbook is a coordination point for the sharing of these experiences and launch pad for future programmes based on that experience.
As well as transforming diplomacy, the practice of public diplomacy is also itself changing. Major public diplomacy organizations now emphasise working in partnership and taking collective action. This trend – accelerated by the economic climate – has deepened the need to share experiences and learn more about one another's work. Equally, it demonstrates the benefit which can be gained from the use of a common language through which initiatives can be developed. Overcoming barriers to understanding is the focus of many Cultural Relations and Public Diplomacy initiatives; The Playbook likewise creates a means to removing such barriers within the practice of Public Diplomacy.
The Playbook is based on contributions from an international network of practitioners and scholars. This large scale project has been initiated to collate experience in cultural relations and public diplomacy practice from around the world. It draws together past and present experience, and recognises the importance of recording programmes that were both successful and unsuccessful. The Playbook provides examples upon which practitioners can draw in designing programmes for the future and is a major resource for education about the discipline.
The Playbook is a mechanism to develop capacity at home and empower voices abroad.

For the first time ever, I have an inflorescence on one of my banana plants. (If it matters, the plants are supposedly Dwarf Cavendish, but these are a good 12' tall.) The problem is that the inflorescence is very recent, and there are only 4 or 5 hands of fruit showing. First frost is usually around Thanksgiving here. I'm assuming these baby bananas are just doomed. But I was wondering: if I cut off the rest of the inflorescence, would the plant mature those 4 or 5 hands any faster? 4 or 5 hands would be better than none. Thanks for any insight anyone may have, even if it us just to say, "They're doooooomed!" |

I'm sorry your first bloom came at such a bad time. The bananas probably are doomed, but you will likely have pups in the spring and maybe have better timing next year. No, cutting off the rest of the inflorescence will not hasten ripening, which would not happen for several months, even if the plant survived. Btw, at 12' tall, it doesn't sound like a dwarf! |
My Dwarf Cavendish seem to almost always bloom at the wrong time. The fruit are DOA with even the slightest frost. I have pretty much given up on that variety. One time, many years ago, I did have a huge bunch get ripe. But, it is a handsome plant. |
Thanks for the feedback. I will leave it be and wait, but expect nothing. I guess I need to dig the patch out (that should be a fun job!) and get some Raja Puris - they are a more reasonable size and have a good chance of making fruit here. The current bananas are attractive, but I am trying to reserve the backyard for edibles and plants that attract pollinators or beneficial insects. |
- Posted by MuscledBear 10a (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 19:15
Yea, I wonder on the dwarf Cavandish as well. I have been growing them in Houston and here since 2004 and the largest one i have had is maybe 8'. This last hand we had this year took about 6 months to ripen. Started seeing the first flower in March/April and got ripened fruit in September. |
- Posted by sun_worshiper FL 9b (My Page) on Sun, Oct 20, 13 at 15:12
I am in 9b, and have wrapped the fruiting bunch with 2-3 strings of the old c9 Xmas lights that give off a lot of heat. That was enough to protect fall fruiting bunches through the winter, and they ripened in spring. Not as tasty as those that get a summer hang time. Now I don't bother, and instead control fertilizer levels to get them to bloom in spring. I aim to get the plants to 3/4 fruiting height by fall. The stalks then usually make it through winter and bloom in spring. |
That makes sense, Sun Worshipper. If we have another mild year like last year I might be able to protect the bunch. But I am almost a whole zone colder than you, and most years my bananas lose all their foliage. In especially cold years the stalks die at least part of the way back. I assume the annual cold damage that is why they have not bloomed before: last winter was the first time the bananas had some green leaves all winter. |

2. Catch the Latest on Appropriate Antibiotic
3. Neisseria - Is it meningitidis
or gonorrhoeae?
4. Bioterrorism Resources and Hold that Prescription,
1. Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Failure
In October 2000, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended the use
of PCV7 (7-valent, pneumococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate
vaccine, Prevnar) among all children aged 2 - 23 months and
for children aged 24 - 59 months who are at increased risk
for pneumococcal disease (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/
preview/mmwrhtml/rr4909a1.htm Attention: Non-MDH link). Since PCV7 was licensed for use,
CDC has received several reports of invasive pneumococcal disease among
infants and children who had received at least one dose of PCV7. Cases
following vaccination are to be expected, since vaccine efficacy was 97%
for invasive disease with pneumococcal serotypes included in the vaccine
and 89% for all serotypes.
CDC is interested in hearing about such cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in children under 5 years of age who have received at least one dose of PCV7. Please call us at 651-201-5414 and we will collect additional information such as host conditions that may have contributed to vaccine failure, and vaccine lot numbers that may be associated with decreased protection.
Thanks to all your help, MDH performs active surveillance for invasive cases of pneumococcal disease in the 7-county Twin Cities area and cases of meningitis statewide as part of our Emerging Infections Program. We will include all cases statewide in 2002. Active surveillance includes isolate collection with serotyping performed at MDH.
2. Catch the Latest on Appropriate Antibiotic
The Minnesota Antibiotic Resistance Collaborative (MARC),
Wisconsin Antibiotic Resistance Network (WARN) and the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) invite you
to a satellite conference on Thursday, November 15, 2001,
from noon to 1 p.m. on "Adult Respiratory Illness and Antibiotics:
Management Strategies to Promote Appropriate Use." Ralph Gonzales,
MD, MSPH, from the University of California at San Francisco
is the keynote speaker. Dr. Gonzales is a nationally renowned
expert on appropriate antibiotic use and chaired the national
panel responsible for "Principles of Appropriate Antibiotic
Use for Treatment of Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in
Adults" published in March 20, 2001 Annals of Internal
This free program been approved for AMA/PRA Category 1 CME credit, AAFP Prescribed credit, and nursing contact hours. It will be broadcast live from the Marshfield Clinic and can be viewed at many sites throughout Minnesota.
As cold and flu season approaches, this is a good opportunity to review the latest treatment recommendations for adult respiratory illness and learn about effective patient communication strategies to promote appropriate antibiotic use. The program will also offer a question and answer session with the speaker.

3. Neisseria - Is it
meningitidis or gonorrhoeae?
Last week received a timely call from an ICP (thank you!)
regarding a college student hospitalized with suspect meningococcal
disease. The student initially had upper respiratory infection
symptoms, then developed swollen joints and a rash around
her joints. A blood culture showed the presence of gram negative
diplococci; CSF from spinal tap was normal. Our initial concern
was that this was a meningococcal infection and we needed
to initiate chemoprophylaxis for close dormitory contacts.
However, the infectious disease consultant found that the
patient had had sexual contact with a male two weeks prior.
The consultant suspected that the patient has disseminated
gonococcal infection (DGI)(Neisseria gonorrhoeae).
DGI occurs in 0.5%-3% of all infected patients. Septic arthritis,
polyarthritis, and dermatitis are the predominant manifestations.
Half the patients with DGI have positive blood cultures. Further
laboratory tests (growth requirements on selective media)
confirmed that the infection was N. meningitidis and
not N. gonorrhoeae and we initiated chemoprophylaxis
of close contacts.
4. Bioterrorism Resources and Hold that Prescription,
We have been getting lots of requests for information on bioterrorism.
We have put together a packet of articles on anthrax, botulism, smallpox,
plague, and tularemia and would be happy to send you one (all of the articles
are also available on-line at www.jama.com
Attention: Non-MDH link or www.cdc.gov
Attention: Non-MDH link). We also have produced
a colorful poster designed to alert clinicians to the possibility of bioterrorism.
We turned the medical training adage of "when you hear hoofbeats to think
horses not zebras" around, so that clinicians consider zebras (illness

On a related note, many schemes have popped up in the last few weeks preying on people's fears. One involves physicians writing a prescription for Ciprofloxacin as an "anthrax safety pack". Ciprofloxacin is one antibiotic recommended for treatment and postexposure prophylaxis for inhalational anthrax that would result from an aerosolization of anthrax spores in a bioterrorism attack. Pharmacies across the U.S. are running out of Ciprofloxacin. This is a bad idea for several reasons. First, although the threat of bioterrorism may be high, we cannot predict where or who would be affected. Second, our job is to investigate such incidents to accurately identify those at risk so we can target treatment and postexposure prophylaxis. Third, we have been planning for such threats. Resources include state and federal pharmaceutical stockpiles including massive caches of antibiotics that would be available within 12-24 hours. Fourth, the overuse of such antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance (see the second article above and sign up for the conference!). Fifth, a patient's mental health is also important. Such schemes perpetuate undue fears. We know that Bug Bytes readers are leaders and will help us get the correct message out to patients.

I use this concealer everyday. It works well for my oily acne-prone skin. It doesn't have great staying power but thats only if your touch or rub your face. but I try not to touch my face, which we shouldn't do anyway. I have tried several BC concealers and this is by far my favorite
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This concealer is OK, but I prefer the older formula (and still available) called Extra Help concealer. I only buy light - and it can be still too pale. Fine for my summer skin - but not my ghostly-white winter skin.
I purchased the lightest shade available 'Light' and it was way to dark for my complexion, for reference I wear MAC NC15 and Beauticontrol N1. The texture of this concealer was very sticky and trying to apply it under the eyes was extremely difficult. I have never come across a concealer that would literally curdle, clump, and not blend as soon as I applied it under the eye. Seriously the strangest and most horrifying concealer I have ever tried because it comes out of the tube fluidy and silky, but as soon as I applied it, it changed into a clumpy mess. This concealer has made my epic fail list and is a total waste of $18. On a side note I'm really surprised Beauticontrol doesn't offer a variety concealer shades (other than light, medium, dark) considering it has it has an extensive range of shades in their foundations lines.
UPDATE: I was able to exchange this concealer for another tube and I had way better results. I think the first tube I purchased was a weird contingent because this replacement tube's concealer is smooth and fluidy in texture and under the eyes after application. The only problem I have is the lightest shade available "light" is too dark for my fair complexion.

Hungarian GP: Lewis Hamilton not expecting to win despite pole
Hungarian Grand Prix, day three
- Sunday 28 July: Race coverage at 13:00 BST on BBC Radio 5 live plus live text commentary online. TV race highlights at 17:05 BST on BBC One
Lewis Hamilton says it would be a "miracle" if he wins Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix despite qualifying on pole.
Hamilton heads Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and Lotus's Romain Grosjean but fears his Mercedes will again suffer with the tyre problems that have blighted their season.
"We are in a good position but I don't envisage it being a win," he said.
Pole goal
Lewis Hamilton's 30th career pole position in Hungary moves him into seventh in the all-time list, one ahead of the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio
"We've got a steep hill to climb with these tyres in these [hot] conditions. If we did win it would be a miracle."
Hamilton said he felt the Pirelli tyres, which are designed to wear out quickly so as to ensure the teams have to make multiple pit stops, were holding back Mercedes' performance.
"We've got a good car so if we didn't have the tyre issues we'd be able to compete with these guys in the race," he said.
"It sucks that I'm not able to race with these guys but we'll do what we can."
The Mercedes has tended to overheat its rear tyres, with the result that Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has qualified fourth, fall back through the field during the race.
Rosberg said the indications from practice in Hungary were that the new design of tyre that has been introduced for this race was going to lessen the problem.
But Hamilton said: "I don't have any indications it's going to be better. It didn't feel great yesterday (in Friday practice when the teams do their race-simulation runs) but I'm hopeful it will be better."
Hamilton has won three times at the Hungaroring, but said he was not confident he could do so again.
"I've been very lucky to win here," he said. "It's a great track, it's very demanding, technically, on the car and with the heat.
"As a driver it is non-stop. Going into (the race) I definitely don't have the same confidence as I had when I won the previous races here for obvious reasons with the tyres but maybe Nico's right. Maybe we will have a better chance.
"Statistics show the Red Bull is 0.5-0.8secs a lap faster than us on the 'prime' tyres over a long run, so with those stats there is nothing really you can do.
"We just have to try to maximise every second we get out there and I'd really love to be able to remain in the fight.
"It's just the way the sport is at the moment.
"It's a shame that tyres are the decider because the team has done such a great job to build such a competitive car and I honestly feel it is just as competitive in terms of downforce and mechanics in the race as the Red Bull, it's just the tyres.
"We built those things on and they just don't work for us."
Hamilton's pole was his third in a row this season but he said he felt he could have gone even faster.
"I was saying to Nico that it really didn't feel like a good lap so I was really surprised when I looked at the onboard and it looks like a reasonably tidy lap," he said.
"But it didn't feel good so I thought it wasn't good enough. I'm delighted it was, happy I could put the team on the front row and my brother texted me and said that's my 30th pole so I'm quite happy with that as well.
"I don't feel like I made any mistakes; I just don't feel like I extracted the most from the lap.
"There's a couple of areas, particularly Turn Six, where I felt I lost a bit on the braking, and the middle sector wasn't bad, it was OK, but it didn't feel like it was really on the limit and then the last two corners felt really poor.
"I really feel there is a lot more in the car. I feel like I could have had another couple of tenths or so. I felt that in the last race as well."
Vettel and Grosjean are expected to be the leading contenders for victory, with perhaps a challenge coming from the German's title rivals, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen, who start fifth and sixth.

Driver of the day JB, 13th to 7th Lewis should thank him for his first Merc; win. -

28th July 2013 - 16:17If I may... LH did well to put the car on pole. .038 is nothin but it was enough. If the car were the fastest then Rosberg woulda been on the front too. LH has talent but lets give credit to his team for getting strategy right. JB did well to hold vettel up for so long bcuz he usally blows by everyone. Someone said it was a routine day for LH from pole to flag. 4 poles = 1 win. Howz that routine?

28th July 2013 - 15:39What a great race, hat doffed to LH who drove superbly, well done to Kimi for the 2nd spot.
Just a real shame that the BBC reneged on their deal to show all F1 races, if they lose all F1 coverage as is rumoured next year, it will be goodbye to my licence fee. -

While this may be true, if you go into the race with this attitude then you have got little chance of winning.
I assume that will be your last ever comment as it aptly shows how much you know about sports psychology & F1. As for the comment below about LH doing nothing special this race & Button being driver of the day LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL -

iPhone 6, AMOLED tablets cited in 2014 display forecast
DisplaySearch has released a forecast covering new display tech in 2014, which includes speculation about screens that may arrive on the iPhone 6, iWatch, large iPad, and Android tablets.
The researcher sees at least two iPhone 6 possibilities as upgrades from the iPhone 5S' 4-inch 1,136x640-pixel resolution (see chart below).
At the high end would be a 5.5-inch 1,920x1,080 display based on LTPS (low-temperature polysilicon) LCD -- the same technology used in the 5S.
If accurate, that means Apple would get closer to the resolution on the Samsung Galaxy S4 -- which is a 5-inch, 1,920x1,080 display. That's where any similarities would end, though. The S4 uses Samsung's radically different Super AMOLED tech. … Read more

For the fifth straight year, California State University, Northridge has been named an outstanding business school by the Princeton Review. The education services company features the school in the new 2012 edition of its book, "The Best 294 Business Schools."
"The Best 294 Business Schools" has two-page profiles of the schools and their MBA programs with write-ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity and career placement services.
In the profile on Northridge, Princeton Review editors wrote "California State University, Northridge offers an affordable and convenient option for a graduate degree in business," calling its College of Business and Economics "comparable to other major business schools, such as USC and UCLA, but much easier on your pocketbook and personal life."
The editors quoted MBA students who said, "Every course has applications to real-world business situations," and noted the program concludes with a mandatory three-unit consulting project for a business in the community.
"The courses are solid and the students really raise the bar. You know that most of the students will be reading, studying, memorizing and applying the material," one student enthused.
William Jennings, dean of CSUN's College of Business and Economics said, "We are pleased once again to be recognized by Princeton Review as among the finest MBA programs in the country. Our faculty are committed to preparing our students well for their future success and for working in a global economy."
Deborah Cours, director of graduate and evening programs in the College of Business and Economics, shared Jennings' pride in the Princeton Review listing.
"The comments [in the listing] from students and alumni attest to the high quality, convenient and collegial program that we strive to offer," she said. "CSUN MBA continues to shed its reputation as a 'secret.' It is gaining national attention for serving fully employed students with a flexible MBA program."
Robert Franek, senior vice president for publishing at Princeton Review, said company officials were pleased to recommend Cal State Northridge's College of Business and Economics' MBA program.
"We chose the 294 business schools in this book based on our high opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the school," Franek said. "We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences."
"The Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition" is one of more than 150 Princeton Review books published by Random House. Headquartered in Framingham, Mass., the Princeton Review is not affiliated with Princeton University and it is not a magazine.
Cal State Northridge's College of Business and Economics is home to several nationally recognized programs where students gain valuable hands-on experience working alongside faculty members and business professionals in a variety of areas.
California State University, Northridge has nearly 37,000 full- and part-time students and offers 64 bachelor's and 50 master's degrees as well as 28 teaching credential programs. Founded in 1958, CSUN is among the largest single-campus universities in the nation and the only four-year public university in the San Fernando Valley. The university serves as the intellectual, economic and cultural heart of the Valley and beyond.

The likes of Sharpie say it too; another phrase I hate: something like
"I just have to go out there and play my own game" as if they don't have to take into consideration what tactics or strengths their opponents have...
I agree with this. I always think the same and really dislike the phrase as for me it seems that the player who says means that no matter how amazing her opponents plays, if she plays "her game" it will be enough to win... which for me is a bit of self-assurance, but in some cases i also don´t think they believe in that...
The "I have nothing to lose phrase" it depends of the player. Some players use it to take pressure off themselves. I think it´s not bad for the non-favourites and sometimes it is used to send a message to the opponent before the match.
Among the top players they aren´t sincere when they say that playing against lower ranked player, but if it´s a top ranked opponent with whom he/she has lost in the previous match maybe the phrase is used to put pressure on the him/her.

As you may remember, I've got an affinity for 90s runway looks, but I can't stop dreaming about a certain collection lately- Gucci Spring Summer 1996. The wet and disheveled hair, the smokey blue eyeshadow, the extreme low cuts.. THE LONG CORD CHOKERS, I die. It's just, so so vampy and perfect.
I literally had a dream the other night where I recreated the bottom left look and someone was snarked towards me "Ew, WHAT THE FUCK is that" and I whip around and say "It's Gucci S/S 96, bitch". Sometimes I'm amazed by my subconscious haha.
Although this is certainly 'a look', I absolutely plan on bringing it into 2014. Although this collection was from '96, I feel like it was pretty forward for it's time. It felt like a lot of foreshadowing for the later years of the '90s, but even more so the early 2000s (which is about to come in strong, just fyi).

Best Revolutionary Bookstore Denver 2012 - P&L Press Infoshop
It's been a while since Denver had a local outlet for radical and revolutionary expression, much less one with couches and free tea. In conjunction with the equally savvy P&L Printing Press, the Infoshop added its name to the collective of organizations centered at the 27 Social Centre in March and has already launched a series of weighty plans. Along with hundreds of zines, books, DVDs and other social-political resources, the Infoshop opens its doors to concerts, local artists and regular literary discussions. In a world of "beardy white guys" postulating on anarchism, store manager Zoe Williams hopes the store will broach political discussion through a greater diversity of genders, races and outlets. Separated by content, the store's resources include even children's material for the young political activist.

ConnectEDU, a popular college and career planning portal in Boston that had collected personal details on millions of high school and college students, filed for bankruptcy. Now federal regulators want to stop the company from selling off students' names, email addresses, birth dates and other intimate information as assets.
Jessica Rich, the director of the bureau of consumer protection at the Federal Trade Commission, argued that such a sale would violate ConnectEDU's own privacy policy, a potentially deceptive practice. The company's privacy policy states that, in the event of a sale of the company, it "will give users reasonable notice and an opportunity to remove personally identifiable data from the service."
"Information about teens is particularly sensitive and may warrant even greater privacy protections than those accorded to adults," Rich wrote. "These users, as well as their parents, would likely be concerned if their information transferred without restriction to a purchaser for unknown uses."
Rich recommended either that ConnectEDU give each student who had registered for its sites the choice to remove his or her personal records from company databases in advance of a sale -- or that the company destroy the entirety of the personal details it had collected.

Is there a way to clean the dusty top of a gel candle? The dust won't wipe or rinse off. Candle has never been burned. (I am not a candle maker, so I really don't know how gel reacts.) Can I scrape it off with a razor blade? or Melt the very top of candle and pour it off? Or is there some cleaner I can use? This was a gift and I would like to salvage it somehow, but the top looks pretty bad. Underneath it is perfect. Thank you for your help! |

I'm thinking you could scrape it. I'd use a plastic spoon. Although, I don't know nothin about Gel candles...I'll ask at my candle forum..we've got a few "gellers" there. |
- Posted by terri_pacnw (My Page) on Fri, Nov 17, 06 at 20:23
Here is the first reply. Take a soft cloth I usually use an old t-shirt and mineral oil gently wipe it. It will leave lines in the gel but in a few hour a day at the most those will disappear. |

So I am really itching to do an all grain batch but I don't want to shell out a lot of cash. I found a guy on my local Craigslist selling coolers for $5 for a 48 qt and $1 for smaller ones, and he had about a dozen or so in different sizes. So I went to his house and picked up one of the 48 qt and a 24 qt Rubbermaid for $6. They were a little grungy but after some scrubbing with bleach and comet they are looking good. Only problem is the larger one looks like the outer shell cracked and someone glued it. The smaller one is in near new shape after cleaning it, so I was thinking about using that one to make a mash tun. So is 24qts big enough to make a mash tun for a 5 gallon batch? Also there's no drain spout on it so should I drill it on the end for the ball valve, or the side, does it matter?
"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." Ernest Hemingway Check out my brew blog Red Kettle BreweryPrimary:EmptySecondary:EmptyDrinking: EmptyPlanning:
I just got into AG recently and I went with the 48qt cooler. You can use a 5gal cooler, however I think you'll find out really quick that you wished you would have went bigger. Your limited to the types of beer you can do (no bigger beers) with a smaller MLT. I Just bought a bunch of brewing stuff off of Craig's list in Corvallis and the guy had a 5gal cooler in the mix, I'm going to use mine for a HLT and continue to use my 10gal for mashing. I would try to fix the 10gal and use that for mashing and use the 5gal for a HLT but if the 10gal cooler is really in bad shape then you have to do what you have to do.
A 24 qt will do "most" 5 gal. batches. For larger grain bills you can sparge twice. A little more time and effort but it will work! The extra 4 qt will help compared to a 5 gal. 20 qt. cooler. The 48 qt. might be a better choice though if larger brews are forecasted. If your lookin to do this on the cheap, I would suggest not even using a valve. All you do is drill a hole at the bottom level of the cooler that is a 1/16" smaller than the tubing. Then make a long (3-4") diagonal slice in the end of the tubing so it is tapered and will start through the hole in the cooler. Just push the tubing partially through the hole and then grab it on the inside w/ pliers and pull it through. Trim the tubing square, and hose clamp or zip tie a lenghth of braid on the end of the tubing and you are all set. Just wire or attach a small clamp for the tubing to the top of the cooler during the mash, and lower the tube to empty. Works fine...simple and cheap! Mike

Watch for God's wonderful Christmas surprises
What would you say is the biggest Christmas surprise you ever experienced? If you believe the TV commercials, someone is going to walk out their front door Christmas morning, and a shiny new Lexus will be parked there with a red bow on top. Surprise!
Last Christmas, Mike Simon of Mundy Township, Mich., surprised his wife with her 3,800-square-foot "dream home" on Christmas day. After opening presents, the family loaded up to go to brunch, and Mike intentionally drove his family by this house that his wife had been admiring and had been calling her "dream home."
Out front of the house was an "open house" sign that Mike had sneaked into the yard. They decided to turn around and visit the house. So they pulled into the driveway, stepped through the front door, and there in the foyer was a large banner that read, "Merry Christmas, Dianne, welcome home." Mike somehow pulled off the purchase without his wife's involvement or knowledge.
Surprises, those unexpected happenings that bring joy, are part of the excitement of Christmas. New presents appear under the tree, and some of them have your name on them. You pick up the package, shake it a little, examine it carefully, and wonder what it could possibly be.
That first Christmas was filled with wonder, and God was full of surprises. As Isaiah 55:8, 9 reads, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways my ways,' says the Lord. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'" God works in unexpected ways.
For instance, God uses small things to bring great results. God used a stone slung by a young shepherd boy to slay a giant. God used a simple lunch to feed a multitude of hungry people. God used a little town to birth a Savior.
Of all the places God could have chosen, He chose Bethlehem for the birth of Jesus. Micah 5:2 reads, "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me, the One to be Ruler in Israel . . ."
Today, Bethlehem is still a small village on the same Judean hillside, and is located about six miles south of Jerusalem. It is separated from Jerusalem by the extensive security wall that seals off the West Bank. A total of 30,000 people live there, but their tiny streets are filled with over one million visitors a year. Most come to visit the Church of the Nativity that is built over the small cave in which Jesus was supposedly born.
God chose a simple place, not a prominent or glitzy place. Bethlehem reminds us that in God's way of doing things, the small shall be great, the last shall be first, the weak shall be strong, and the lowly shall be exalted.
Also, God chooses ordinary people who are willing to be used. God chose a simple, ordinary, peasant teenage girl named Mary to bring His Son into the world. He chose a young carpenter named Joseph who was pledged to marry Mary. He worked in both of their lives, and both demonstrated a spirit of surrender and obedience.
God chose shepherds to be the first to hear the news that Jesus was born. These low-class sheep handlers weren't special to anybody but God. The biggest barrier they faced was that their work made it impossible for them to observe the Jewish ceremonial laws and temple rituals, so they were considered religiously unclean.
Yet God sent the angels to share good news of great joy to shepherds. That made a statement: Jesus was coming to everybody, and every person matters to God.
God still works in mysterious ways to perform His wonders, and He's still full of surprises. How will He surprise you this Christmas season? Be watching for His hand at work.

InStyle.com says: No one can work a pair of formal shorts quite like Rachel Bilson's Hart of Dixie alter ego, Dr. Zoe Hart. Standing out in a sea of southern belles, the New York transplant dresses up her cropped bottoms with blazers, silky blouses, and serious heels.
EW.com says: It's not easy to look glam in the blazing-hot bayou, but Bilson has pulled it off for each of the 22 episodes this season. With a season two on the horizon, we can't wait to see what she does next!Read MoreLess

It is now 4:00 p.m. ET, and thus Peyton Manning is now officially a free agent. At least 12 teams make some sense for Manning, and at least 10 have reportedly inquired about his services.
Manning, who is a free agent for the first time in his 14-year career, will undoubtedly cast a shadow over the entire market. The most notable victim might actually be Matt Flynn, who was supposed to set the free-agent quarterback market wherever he signed. Now, Flynn — who won't become an unrestricted free agent until Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET — will likely become a consolation prize for one of the teams that misses out on Manning.
When assessing the shape of the star-studded 2012 quarterback carousel, there are four primary names to watch:
1. Manning
2. Flynn
3. Andrew Luck
4. Robert Griffin III
Of course, Luck and Griffin won't be available until April's draft, so there's a staggered aspect to this process that could stretch things out.
There are a slew of darkhorses, but there are four major franchises to keep an eye on:
1. Miami Dolphins
2. Washington Redskins
3. Indianapolis Colts
4. Cleveland Browns
The left-over teams — Arizona, Denver, Seattle, the Jets, Kansas City and San Francisco — only really factor in as teams that might take a risk on Manning, but none are considered to be players in the sweepstakes for the other three superstar pivots mentioned.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion at this point that Luck will be drafted by Indy and that either Cleveland or Washington will trade up with St. Louis to take Griffin. That would seemingly place Manning in Miami and Flynn in the city that doesn't land Griffin, or vice versa.
Of course, it's never that easy. And it's completely possible that any of the honorable mentions listed above pull off a minor upset by making a move for any of the three quarterbacks not named Luck.
The speculation is already reaching unbearable levels. Get used to it.

Australia-China Council
The Australian Ballet's 50th Anniversary
A Greeting Card from the National Ballet of China
In 2012, The Australian Ballet marks 50 outstanding years on the stage. To celebrate this milestone, The Australian Ballet is presenting the International Gala from 31 October to 3 November, 2012.
The Australia-China Council is supporting the presentation of the National Ballet of China at the Gala, which will bring Act II pas de deux from Giselle.
Giselle will be performed by the leading dancers from the National Ballet of China:
Zhu Yan, National Ballet of China
Zhu Yan joined the National Ballet of China in 1995 after graduating from the Beijing Dance Academy. She has danced various leading roles in most of the full-length classics, as well as principal roles in many Balanchine ballets. Her contemporary repertoire includes Rite of Spring, Four Last Songs, and Études, among many others.
She has won awards at major international ballet competitions, including Best Ballerina at the 19th Benois de la Danse. As a guest artist, she has danced the leading roles in La Sylphide with the Royal Swedish Ballet (1999), Odette/Odile in Swan Lake with the Royal New Zealand Ballet (2002), La Sylphide with the Royal Danish Ballet (2005), and Giselle at the invitation of Hong Kong Ballet Society (2006).
She attended Vale International Arts Festival in USA (2000 and 2006), the gala celebrating 200th anniversary of the birth of August Bournonville at the Royal Danish Ballet (2005), and Geneve Festival (2007). With National Ballet of China, she has toured to London, Paris, New York, and many other cities. She was appointed as the head of the Dancers Department in 2011.
Sun Ruichen, National Ballet of China
Born in Changchun in 1988, Sun studied at the affiliated dancing school of Liaoning Ballet from 1998 to 2004 and at Beijing Dance Academy from 2004 to 2008. He joined the National Ballet of China after his graduation.
He has performed pas de deux in the education program Journey into the World of Ballet many times; he has also performed in ballets like Raise the Red Lantern, The Red Detachment of Women, Onegin, The Peony Pavilion, Swan Lake, Carmen, Giselle, Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3, Beethoven Symphony No.7 and The Nutcracker 2010 (Chinese Version). He has toured with the National Ballet of China to Germany, USA, UK, Netherlands, France, Brazil, Hong Kong and Macau.

Is there something you mutter under your breath to help you declutter, organize or keep you on track?
In a previous post I mentioned "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." This SOMETIMES keeps me from taking on additional projects and reminds me to delegate. Looking for more words of wisdom. TIA |

I have two: "Don't put it down; put it away" and "Clean as you go" |
- Posted by stephanie_in_ga (My Page) on Mon, Apr 9, 07 at 14:55
I tell my kids (and sometimes I have to tell myself) "Don't put it down, put it away." And I tell them "Leave no evidence," but I really stole that from Talley Sue. But the one I use most often, enough that friends quote me, is "Lower your standards, but not your values. And know the difference!" I really believe that living with that statement can keep my life more peaceful. |
Ditto on: Clean As You Go -- this is simple and it really honestly works every single time! Also: Complete The Task -- I tend to do too many at the same time -- and leave tasks uncompleted -- which causes a "speed bump" in the day Also: Think Through The Whole Process -- this means thinking about the entire job (like "The Daily Mail") -- from start to finish and consider each step -- and how it can help OR hurt the whole process of getting it done! ((from my days writing about business and industrial stories .....)) |

"It's already paid the rent." DH and I got this off a tv home improvement show a few years back. Someone was doing some landscaping and was removing some bushes because they no longer looked nice. Anyway, we say this whenever we have something that isn't functioning for us the way it did when we got it. It's our way of saying it needs to be tossed, donated, or remade into something usable. |
Progress, not perfection. I got that from another website. I'd like to do a crosstitch of it as a reminder to myself. |
My MIL has had this one posted on her fridge for years: THE MESS YOU NEVER MAKE IS THE MESS YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO CLEAN UP". This is the one that reminds me to clean as I go. |

Don't agonize. Organize. By Florence R. Kennedy |
- Posted by claire_de_luna (My Page) on Mon, Apr 9, 07 at 21:53
Organized people are just too lazy to look for things. |
Ooooh, I like these! The one-word mantra that has encouraged/pushed/forced me to dispose of stuff is RUTHLESS. I've muttered it under my breath countless times. |
Whenever my perfectionism was getting in the way of progress, my grandmother always told me what her mother told her "no one will ever notice it while riding by on a galloping horse" and sometimes she said Granny would add "in the dark" if something was really out of sort. My grandmother's over 90 years of age and if I'm fortunate enough to carry her genes for longevity, I'm sure those things that bothered me so much in my younger days may seem pretty insignificant at that point. Gosh, I love that woman!! :-) |

My father told me: "Always be quick, but never be in a hurry." My dad and I are big into sports, so we know the importance of quickness, but being in a hurry is different. If I'm running late it usually means I lost my keys or my scene designs I needed for class. If I use my time wisely, I can gather my things earlier and not rush around. Whenever I cook, I gather all my ingredients first, then cook. That way I won't be ten minutes into it and find out I needed something I don't have and run around panicking. |

You can't take it with you. And for my whole life: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." |

"If you're born to hang, you'll never drown. So let the big cat jump." (I find it oddly liberating and inspiring.) |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Wed, Apr 11, 07 at 9:20
"First, do no harm" This one keeps me from even buying stuff to bring home. And I also have been sayng, "Don't put it down, put it away." And, "Put it AWAY away." (as in, put it in its REAL home, not just some place you can stash it in for now.) |
"Reduce, reuse, recycle." As a bit of a counterpoint: "I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house." (former Texas governor Ann Richards). It's a reminder that there are/should be higher priorities than housework. :-) For the rest of life: "God, please help me understand that this problem has already been solved for me." I find it a healthy way to look at a world that often does not make sense of the moment. |
The one I've been using the last couple of years is, of course, "plow in". I figured the house was such a mess that it didn't matter what I did - I should just do SOMETHING! Pick a spot and begin. Kim's Granny reminded me of what my grandmother and mother used to say: "Will it matter in a hundred years?" This has pulled me up short many times when I get in a panic about something really trivial. Now, of course, there are things which DO matter in our immediate life, but this has helped me pause and think. |
For decluttering: "When in doubt, throw it OUT." For many other things in life: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results." Jean Marie |
"Don't put it down; put it away." "I can do anything for 15 minutes." "It doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to be finished." "This is the day which the LORD hath made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24 This one got me through USAF basic training like a breeze. |
One of our guiding mantras is (slight variation of Steve O'S): "Reuse, restore, recycle" The other that I mutter to myself (whether shopping or cleaning) is "Do I need it or do I want it?" It keeps a lot of junk from finding its way into the house. |
Forgot to add my sister's fav slogan: "Rotate and Re-organize" "Rotate" collectibles, artworks, photos etc. throughout your home to keep the whole house looking and feeling "fresh" to the eye. Never feel that you HAVE to put out everything. Choose some things -- and put the rest away. And discard (which means sell or donate) the rest. Also consider changing things for the latest season -- or for a reason like a party. Move things to a fresh spot -- like switch out lamps, artworks from room-to-room. A fast way to a new look! "Re-organize" is exactly what this forum means -- take a look at the available storage around your home (or office!) -- and decide which systems/storage work -- and where the problems (speed-bumps) lie! Solutions start with clearing and then move on to storage. |
My 7 yo ds says, "When you are done with it, deal with it." Mine was posted on another thread. "I need a place to live my life, not store my life." My Flylady favorite I really needed was "You can't organize clutter. You can only get rid of it." When I found myself repeatedly moving something around, I realized it was clutter. My personal favorites: Unless it's a heart attack, you can time your time and think it over. Think for yourself. Speak for yourself. Act for yourself. Imitation is suicide.--Marva Collins, educator Gloria |
A place for everything, and everything in its place. If I can't find a place for something, get rid of it. If it's good, donate it. If its bad,throw it away. |
There are no rewards or punishments, only consequences. |
Along with "a place for everything..." my mantra would be "every little bit helps." |
"When in doubt, throw it out." and "The longest journey begins with a single step." Both of these helped me when I cleaned out my father's house twice. First, two years after my mother died, and then after the pipes burst while he was away and all the ceilings came down. Poor Dad. The first day I was there, he thought it was great and wanted me to call my husband and tell him I was going to stay longer. By the third day he was telling people that I was holding him hostage! Also, I got to the point where I would say, "Do you want to keep this? Too late!" and throw it out. They had five copies of their marriage certificate, so I don't think I was particularly ruthless in tossing three of them, but it was a lot for him to deal with. |

Oh--another one: "If not now, then when?" That's a line from a Melanie song, I think. I call it up when I'm tempted to stick something in the wrong place. I'll have to put it ALL the way away at SOME point, why not now? Also, I'll make my bed eventually; why not first thing in the a.m.? |
I've found myself using quite a few of these lately. Thank you. I think I may transfer them to an index card so they'll be readily handy to inspire and remind me. Keep those sayings coming! |
tre3 - I reread this thread often, hoping more of these slogans will sink in to my subconscious. Some of my favorites have been mentioned, I'll just add another one - "Do it now." I tell myself that when I'm tempted to leave some little task undone until I "feel like dealing with it" caroline - I remember a snappy song of that verse (This is the Day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.) It got me through a lot of painful rehab after an auto accident. I sang it in my head while going through my paces. I was sorry when they started playing the radio as the music clashed with my internal song. |
I love *plow in*. When faced with tasks that seem insurmountable--just start somewhere--anywhere! Thanks! |
- Posted by hibiscus53 (My Page) on Sat, May 12, 07 at 18:47
These are . Lately one that has helped me is: Its only stuff. |
What great inspiration! Here are mine: 'Just do it!' 'Just buy what you need for now' (to keep myself from overbuying, having to store stuff and pretend I'm saving money by buying in bulk). |
"Just because I like it doesn't mean I have to have it." and "Just becasue I have it, doesn't mean I have to keep it." They both work for me. |
I can't say that I use this as my mantra, but it sure is something I ASPIRE TO: As long as you have STUFF, you'll never have money. (Paraphrased from Suze Orman) I must admit, though, that it usually comes to me as an afterthought... |
When I'm working around the house, TalleySue is always there saying "TAKE IT TO....."what ever I'm doing, instead of going to get something to fix an item...take the item TO the fixing point!!, so thank you TalleySue!!!!! |

I just went to bump this up...Looks like you did already Lena...that's for the tip to read this post! Margie |
If there is anything I envision as I clean and declutter it is: "Tis a gift to be simple..." In other words, the less stuff you have, the less you have to clean and put away. If you truly need something, then by all means, you should keep it, or get yourself one. But it is a very liberating feeling to realize how little you really need. That is the "gift" part. |
- Posted by rachelrachel (My Page) on Mon, Jul 7, 08 at 14:57
okay - don't laugh - but sometimes getting it done feels awful so I really encourage myself. My phrases during those times are: "Good girl" It does provide a boost when I'm tired and trying to put away the last of a project, or do the last bit of cleaning. |
This one gets me through everything. "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Phil 4:13 Don't Pass It Up, Pick It Up Begun is Half Done |
- Posted by brugloverz9 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 8, 08 at 17:42
I like the "Progress not Perfection" one too...have to remind myself when I am not feeling sure of where I am putting my newly organized stuff. At least if I have weaned it down I can always move it to a different location at a later time. |
Today, when I vacuumed the basement exercise area, I remembered the "90/10 Rule." The biggest improvement (90%) only takes a little effort (10%). If you insist on going after that last 10%, it would take 90% of the time & effort. Best to spend that 90% in nine other places. I still remind myself that "It doesn't have to be perfect!" |
We can't take it with us. When we die someone has to go through it all. |
It is easier to DO yourself into feeling better, then it is to FEEL yourself into doing better. |
I love all these quotes, and while I don't really have one for cleaning or de-cluttering, this is my mantra when the going gets tough: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." - Saint Julian of Norwich. It helps me slow down, think, and put things in perspective. I really like Flylady's "You can do anything for 15 minutes," too. |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 08 at 9:45
I love St. Julian of Norwich...have heard this for years, and never knew its attribution. Thank you! When I worry too much about perfection, I think of what my mother told me (in her soft, southern voice..): "Dear, you wouldn't worry nearly so much about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do." |
Use it up, wear it out, then at last, throw it out. |
I'm bumping this favorite thread of mine. Is anyone else in cleaning mode? -Lena |
Suck it up and get it over with. |
"Just swallow the frog". For anything unpleasant I don't want to do, but need to, from dentist appointments to cleaning drains. "80% is perfect too" My DIL made this one up for us to overcome our perfectionism, and we use it all the time with each other. "Stuff is just that... stuff." |
You can only buy something if you have a place to put it. If you are buying new pants or a shirt, which old one are you getting rid of? Same w/ shoes, books (I could start a whole thread on books), picture frames, toys and on and on and ... |
"Get thee behind me satan" or Reality Check do I really need it? |
"If you can have two babies, you can do this." |
I spend about an hour every morning doing my "regular" clean up - dishes, beds, laundry, maybe sweeping and dusting, and then each day I do one "JulieJob" = one thing that would not be part of a daily regular routine. It might be cleaning ceiling fans, or sorting out the sock drawer, cleaning out the bathroom vanity, whatever. Just one extra thing each day. Done. One JulieJob. |
I have to ditto on the, Just because I want it, doesn't mean I have to have it. Saves me lots of money, that one!! |

Here's another one, courtesy of bleusblue: My motto is "Notice Stagnation" The idea being, stuff that's in your house that isn't actually in use; it's easy to stop seeing it after a while. |

Good to see this thread back at the top. I think someone already mentioned one of mine, eat the frog. It is accredited to Mark Twain who supposedly said that if one starts the day by eating a frog, the day can only get better. As a kid, that meant eating the food I disliked first before consuming the rest of the meal. As an adult, it is a reminder to get the difficult or unpleasant task over with first and the rest won't seem so difficult. Dreading a task is often more stressful than doing the task, anyway. Mind over matter is another favourite. As in, I'd rather have peace of mind than more matter to clean and store. Less a motto than a directive, take care of your tools so they can take care of you. As a gardener, cleaning tools means the difference between buying new every year or not. It means a wet/dry vaccuum that does not smell like musty cat fur because it is cleaned out after every use. It means knowing where that one drill bit is because it was put back in the case after its last use. Mister thought I was crazy the first couple of times he saw me clean our brooms but he quickly caught on to the idea when he got tired of constantly buying new paint brushes because he would not bother to clean them immediately after use. |
My mantra used to be"Clutter free in 2003"....now it's "Clutter free when I am 63" |
"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." |

"For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned." Ben Franklin As soon as I get home from work, I look at the clock and spend 15 minutes cleaning. 15 minutes ONLY, and then STOP wherever I may be, so I can unwind and enjoy the rest of the evening. We need to remember to keep balance in our lives! You can do so much in just a few minutes. :) |
When decluttering, Fly Lady says to sing the Englebert Humperdink song, "Please release me, let me go" sung from the point of view of whatever you are getting rid of. |
"In order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life."...........Plato This one "came" to me when I was laid up with knee surgery and unable to take care of my horse farm, my yard or my home. I was totally frustrated and miserably unhappy. I knew I had to find a way out of this so I could rest and let my knee heal. The thought appeared to me that I should "Concentrate on what I CAN do instead of what I CANNOT do." This helped me spend time on navigating to the kitchen to eat, to the bathroom, then lying down to read and nap. I didn't worry about the things I couldn't do - just did what I could. It was all still there when I was able to walk again [thanks to my boyfriend, barn help and good friends]. I refer to this saying when things to do start overwhelming me - I just do what I can do at that time and forget the rest. |

Here is another amazing Flylady quote: "Your attitude has to change from 'Why do I have to do this?' to 'This is my home and I deserve to have a wonderful place to live. This blesses my home and my family and most of all, me!' Do you feel the difference that these two statements make in your heart?" |

Brazilian, 1985
This young artist uses various poetic languages to translate and graphically reproduce in the form of paper sculptures, drawings, engravings, photography and contemporary paintings, his vision of this world.
During his tenure at the university Pabllo De La Cruz had the opportunity to have the guidance of artist Ana Maria Pacheco, who has classes in sculpture, drawing and artistic notions. Several characteristics influenced by this union are still present in his work.
