The future ain't so bad, even without rose-colored glasses
With another year soon to end, it may be a good time to ask, is the world getting better? Are we making progress? Is it, as Jimmy Stewart annually reminds us in the holiday film classic, "a wonderful life"? Or are we on the edge of decline, the whole thing going to hell in the proverbial handbasket?
Are we at the edge of "lift off," or at the edge of the "cliff" (fiscal or otherwise)?
With wars and rumors of war always with us, with Israeli/ Palestinian issues seemingly intractable, with continued gun violence and appalling shooting sprees here in the U.S., with high unemployment and fiscal uncertainty on the near horizon, it would be easy to come to the conclusion that the present is bad and the future ominous. And don't get me started on climate change, extreme weather and garbage pileups at sea. It's bad, bad, bad.
Not so say a series of recent books, whose authors contend that, by many measures, enormous progress has been made in the last several decades, both in the U.S. and worldwide.
The latest contribution to the genre of optimism is Steven Johnson's book Future Perfect: The Case for Progress in a Networked Age. That book's key themes were summarized in Johnson's recent article, "We're Living the Dream — We Just Don't Realize It."
Here's Johnson: "Over the past two decades, what have the U.S. trends been for the following important measures of social health: high school dropout rates, college enrollment, juvenile crime, drunken driving, traffic deaths, infant mortality, life expectancy, per capita gasoline consumption, workplace injuries, air pollution, divorce, male-female wage equality, charitable giving, voter turnout, per capita GDP and teen pregnancy?
"The answer for all of them is the same: The trend is positive. Almost all those varied metrics of social wellness have improved by more than 20 percent over the past two decades. And that's not counting the myriad small wonders of modern medicine that have improved our quality of life as well as our longevity: the anti-depressants and insulin pumps and quadruple bypasses."
Take just one of these areas: divorce. Johnson notes how often people say, in ominous tones, "Half of all marriages end in divorce." Turns out that hasn't been true since the early 80's. Today it's more like one-third of marriages that end in divorce. That's a big change and a good one.
Seattle too has positive trend lines in a host of social indicators including: crime statistics (down), recycling plastic (up), overall garbage reduction, increased units of affordable housing, the numbers of people getting exercise by walking and cycling, as well as increases in things as diverse as the number of trees in the city and the number of Seattleites who volunteer.
But we miss a lot of these big changes and positive developments, claims Johnson. They don't seem to register with us. Why? Are we addicted to bad news?
Another work with a similar argument is Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler. Diamandis and Kotler take a more global view of our situation, again arguing that by many measures the present is improved, while the future offers abundant reasons for optimism. And they place particular emphasis on technological developments that enable human beings to deal with intractable problems as never before.
A still earlier 2004 entry into this mix was from New Republic Editor Gregg Easterbrook, The Progress Paradox: How Life Gets Better and Better While People Feel Worse. Like Johnson and Diamandis/Kolter, Easterbrook tracks the many objective measures of health, well-being and prosperity that have been moving in the right direction, but then wonders why, if that's the case, so many people seem to believe that things are getting worse?
When it comes to the doctrine of progress and what some call the "official religion of America," optimism, I confess that I tend to be a doubter. I am, it seems, disposed to skepticism about claims of "better and better," or overwhelming confidence in our capacity to solve all our problems.

I think that one of the contributing factors to the "Ain't It Awful" club is the amount of money, time, and media coverage, we as a nation, spend on defense. It's hard to escape the world is going to hell in a hand basket feelings when both major political parties loudly support a very large military and the major stories in the media are about what we should do in places like Syria. The results are a cycle of bad news with bad people out to get us, so arm up and stop them someplace other then here.

It's curious that a self-styled religious leader should find himself confused and ambivalent about identifying with the material world. For what it's worth, every spiritual philosophy of any consequence starts from the premise that the soul's progress depends on the ability to withdraw from the ego's naive addiction to physical pleasure -- in other words, rejecting the false identification of the true self with the body. As he himself asks, "What's Tony thinking?"
Posted Mon, Dec 17, 10:07 p.m.
The inference of there being fewer divorces is that people in marriages are happier. I'd discount this, in part - especially lately - of economic circumstances. Folks may not be able to afford to split, it is a complicated and can be messy process, and both parties may have decided that it's more convenient to stay together. See the movie "Hope Springs" for an example that's fairly common. In some of the cases where two people stay together, they may be better off to split...if they can afford to.

Free Fishing Weekend Is Slated For June 2-3
For Hoosiers who have never cast a fishing line or haven't cast a line in a while, Free Fishing Weekend, June 2-3, is a great opportunity.
That's because Indiana's adult residents do not need a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp to fish Indiana waters during Free Fishing Weekend.

Arts & Culture
We seek to build strong, healthy cities by promoting the integration of arts and culture in community revitalization.
Program Overview
Our national Arts and Culture Program focuses on the role arts and culture play in re-energizing the communities that have long been central to America's social and economic life. We believe that arts and culture are an integral part of life and, when embedded in cross-sector revitalization activity, can contribute to positive and enduring economic, social and cultural change in communities.
Our grantmaking and investments encourage interdisciplinary approaches to the broad field of community revitalization. We seek to make arts and culture as central to discussions of rebuilding and reinvigorating metropolitan areas as land use, housing, transportation, economic development and other more traditional disciplines.
Our approach requires that all community members benefit from revitalization activity and from the integration of arts and culture into such efforts. We partner with organizations committed to creating opportunity for low-income and underrepresented people. Those partners include a wide range of entities from arts and culture organizations to community development corporations and other public-sector and nonprofit agencies.
There is compelling evidence that arts and culture encourage participation in civic life and in discourse about the future of neighborhoods and cities.
There is, too, an abundance of talent and authentic culture in America's diverse communities that can reveal character, provide distinct identity, and ground revitalization work in the genuine fabric of each community. We embrace efforts that respect and tap those assets.
Cross-discipline, multi-sector work has taken firm root in community revitalization. But the strategic integration of arts and culture is relatively new. So is the concept of "creative placemaking." For our purposes we use creative placemaking to refer simply to the deliberate integration of arts and culture in revitalization work. We appreciate that, for the foreseeable future, others may assign it different meaning.
Our goal is to expand creative placemaking activity and to understand its effect on economic, social and cultural change in disinvested communities. We recognize that there is a great deal being learned. We seek to test new approaches, identify lessons from current exemplary activities and promote the adoption of creative placemaking activity on a broad scale through direct grantmaking and support for research, evaluation and other endeavors that advance field-wide and cross-sector understanding.
We invest through these focus areas:
Pioneering New Approaches
We fund pilot projects that address challenges to the effectiveness of creative placemaking. These include activities that test the integration of arts and culture within other sectors.
Many elements of creative placemaking are not well understood, and that lack of clarity inhibits more widespread adoption of the practice. By supporting and documenting pioneering approaches to creative placemaking, we expect to gain a deeper understanding of key creative placemaking approaches and impacts that can be widely employed.
Harvesting Leading Practices
We support efforts that deepen, capture and share knowledge from established creative placemaking work in disinvested communities. We believe that sharing lessons about how and when creative placemaking contributes to revitalization is crucial to this emerging field.
Advancing Proven Approaches
We seek to promote the adoption of tested creative placemaking practices and will invest in work that advances that goal. Knowing that placemaking respects the uniqueness of communities, we expect the spread of successful practices will come though adaptation rather than replication.
We partner with national nonprofit and public-sector networks involved in community revitalization to bring tested creative placemaking practice into wider use. We believe that partnering with these networks has a high potential for widespread adoption of proven concepts.
How We Work
Because one of our key goals is learning and advancing the field of creative placemaking, we are shaping our portfolio to develop knowledge in specific areas. Our funding is targeted toward particular questions and issues. The lessons learned will inform the field and our future work.
Our investments are guided by a set of creative placemaking characteristics:
- Embed arts and culture in larger community revitalization initiatives
- Engage in cross-discipline, cross-sector activities
- Exhibit strong leadership
- Advance a shared community vision
- Extend benefits to all stakeholders, especially low-income community members
- Demonstrate commitment to sustained engagement and participation of all residents
- Work to ensure current residents can remain in their community even where revitalization changes neighborhood economics
- Honor community distinctiveness
We award general operating and project support grants and make program-related investments. The latter may take the form of direct loans, guarantees that provide credit support to borrowers, or linked deposits. (Learn more about our Social Investment Practice.)
We are also a founding funder of ArtPlace America, a collaboration working to accelerate creative placemaking across the United States. Grant opportunities available through Art Place are another way to seek Kresge support.
Application Process
Within our Harvesting Leading Practices focus area, we accept and review inquiries about support for activities in specific thematic areas. Please review that Web page and the application process recommends.
To learn about future grant opportunities, we encourage you to stay in touch though email subscription, RSS, or social media. Email subscribers will be notified within hours of our updates.

Is Your Training Making You Sick?
- By Susan Lacke

Get Your Z's
It can be difficult to find enough hours in a day to balance work, training and family obligations. For the time-crunched triathlete, sleep is usually the first thing that is sacrificed—but even cutting out an hour of snooze time each night can have detrimental effects. In a 2012 study published in the research journal SLEEP, adults who got less than seven hours of sleep per night were more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus; they also had a harder time recovering. Make sleep a priority by scheduling your bedtime and wake-up alarm, just as you would any other important appointment—and shoot for seven to eight hours of quality sleep per night.

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 About that time King Herod laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. | 1 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. |
2 He had James, the brother of John, killed with the sword. | 2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. |
3 After he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This was during the festival of Unleavened Bread.) | 3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. |
4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison and handed him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover. | 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. |
5 While Peter was kept in prison, the church prayed fervently to God for him. | 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. |
6 The very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison. | 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. |
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him, saying, "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his wrists. | 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists. |
8 The angel said to him, "Fasten your belt and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me." | 8 Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. |
9 Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening with the angel's help was real; he thought he was seeing a vision. | 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. |
10 After they had passed the first and the second guard, they came before the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went outside and walked along a lane, when suddenly the angel left him. | 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. |
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting." | 11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating." |
12 As soon as he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many had gathered and were praying. | 12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. |
13 When he knocked at the outer gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer. | 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. |
14 On recognizing Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the gate, she ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate. | 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!" |
15 They said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel." | 15 "You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel." |
16 Meanwhile Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the gate, they saw him and were amazed. | 16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. |
17 He motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and described for them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he added, "Tell this to James and to the believers." Then he left and went to another place. | 17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the brothers about this," he said, and then he left for another place. |
18 When morning came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. | 18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. |
19 When Herod had searched for him and could not find him, he examined the guards and ordered them to be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. | 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while. |
20 Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him in a body; and after winning over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for a reconciliation, because their country depended on the king's country for food. | 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. Having secured the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply. |
21 On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat on the platform, and delivered a public address to them. | 21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. |
22 The people kept shouting, "The voice of a god, and not of a mortal!" | 22 They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." |
23 And immediately, because he had not given the glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. | 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. |
24 But the word of God continued to advance and gain adherents. | 24 But the word of God continued to increase and spread. |
25 Then after completing their mission Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem and brought with them John, whose other name was Mark. | 25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark. |

Wondering how to replace a central vacuum motor? Don't worry... we've made selecting the right motor for your central vacuum system easy! Either select from the list of manufacturers below or locate your Central Vacuum Motors by motor number here. If you are still having troubles locating the right central vacuum motor for your system, give us a call today at 1.800.322.2965!
*Free Shipping on Orders Over $75. UPS Ground Only Within The Contiguous US. Sales Tax Will Apply To Florida Residents.*
Think of your central vacuum cleaner as a human body. Now think of the role of the heart in the human body and its many ramifications within the body. The motor plays the same role within a vacuum cleaner. Central vacuum motors have their own ramifications or rather components. These include the field coils, the bearings, the armature, the fan blades which create the airflow and so on. Now, to continue with the analogy, think of the replacement of a central vacuum motor as a heart transplant because both these operations are only successful in certain conditions.
Can you repair a central vacuum motor? Not all central vacuum motors can be replaced or repaired. Once they die, some of them remain dead. These are the so-called throw-away vacuum motors. Others, on the other hand, can be brought back to life and, of course, they are preferable. The match is mainly determined by the model number of the central vacuum cleaner and the lamb number, but in fact, it depends on the size of the motor, its voltage and other such technical details. Naturally, there is no point in keeping a central vacuum cleaner once it has exceeded its life expectancy, so a full replacement is recommended in such situations.
In conclusion, learning about central vacuum motors. The last few years have brought a massive wave of motors made in different parts of the world. Many manufacturers sell central vacuum motors made in China, for instance. The downside here is that there are no track records with these motors, so this approach does not promise to deliver long-lasting results. This context makes the Lamb Ametek motors really safe to play with, so to speak. Safety is extremely important when it comes to central vacuum motors, no matter who manufactures them, because every central vacuum cleaner needs a good and long-lasting heart to work its wonders. So choose carefully and play safe!
We can help you find a new central vacuum motor, determine if you need to replace the motor or the entire central vacuum system. Contact our technical support team 1800.322.2965
* Rule #1, Remember to keep your old motor gasket when ordering a new replacement motor for your central vacuum! These brand new genuine Ametek Lamb motors are drop shipped directly from the manufacturer and will be coded and dated.
* In most cases, motors will arrive in 3-5 business days. In the rare event that your central vacuum motor needs to be special-ordered, it may take longer. If so, we will call you with an estimated arrival time. These items are non-returnable and are not covered under our 30 day return policy.

Central Vacuum Motors are the heart of your central vacuum system. A motor consist of many parts such as, an armature, field coils, fan blades, bearings, etc. Central vacuum motors create suction power through the motion of fan blades. These blades turn which draws in air flow to create suction. When the machine is connected to PVC pipes throughout the home it will cause the suction to pick up dirt and debris and carry it back to the central vacuum canister for disposal. When buying a replacement central vacuum motors there are a few things to keep in mind. If you need to find out by a professional person more about central vacuum motors, relays, and parts, please don't hesitate to call us! 1-800-322-2965
These are brand new Ametek Lamb motors and are for sale as replacement motors for your central vacuum. Certain central vacuum motors are designed to be replaced or serviced, others are meant to be discarded, disposable or otherwise known as throw-a-way motors. When shopping for a replacement motor you'll need to locate the model number of your vacuum unit as well as the lamb number. Depending on the age of your machine you may want to consider replacing the entire central vacuum instead of doing repair work. Motors vary in size, stages, and voltage so make sure to have accurate information when purchasing a new central vacuum motor! Please refer to the "Top 10 Reasons to Replace Your Unit Instead of Your motor."

No, I'm not referring to dating Jekyll, I'm already taken. I'm also not referring to those fruits that oddly enough I don't care for.
I couldn't figure out why posts with a defined date weren't appearing in my local Jekyll install. In the YAML matter, I'd written it as such:
date: 2005-01-24 12:00:36
Some more astute readers may already see the problem, but I was scratching my head late at night wondering why. Yes, it turns out you need to define the timezone.
date: 2005-01-24 12:00:36 +1000
It makes sense. If my base is UTC, that time I defined above wouldn't have happened yet, and I had configured Jekyll to not post items from the future. I mean, I'm not part of the USS Relativity's crew or anything.
Now comes the task of editing my maintanence Perl script to add the appropriate timezones for thousands of entries, written in Singapore, Kuala Lumpuer, Adelaide and Sydney over the years. Fun times!

The Cabin In The Woods
Halloween is quickly approaching, which means candy, costumes, pumpkin brews, and scary movies. At the top of our list for this year is The Cabin In The Woods ($20). More sci-fi than serial killer, it's filled with twists, scares, and more than a few tongue-in-cheek moments. Oh, and did we mention it's co-written by Joss Whedon? Yeah. A must-see.

Shop the entire Serge Normant haircare line here!
Serge Normant is a world class celebrity hairstylist and also happens to be Julia Roberts trusted hair man. With a gorgeous mane like that it's no doubt she's known to have one of the best heads of hair in Hollywood. Healthy hair is a rarity these days with so many of us tempted to color, spritz and straighten our hair to perfection. I definitely won't be without my favorite Sachajuan Ocean Mist and T3 Whirl Curling Wand! Even though Julia has non stop photo shoots, premiers and parties to attend throughout the year her hair seems to always exude a healthy shine and lustre which has to be partly due to Serge's loving haircare line.
Julia shares her beauty secrets in the Sept issue of In Style magazine and sure enough her top haircare pick is Serge Normant's Meta Lush Volumizer because, "the stuff is like a magic serum. I go crazy spraying it on my hair until my fingers get tired. Then I let my hair air-dry." It gives amazing flexibility and volume without feeling sticky or flaky!

Just like trying to fit into our favorite pair of jeans after a long winter season, our skin isn't always a pleasure to wake up to every morning and it takes a little adjusting to get us feeling and looking ready for the day. A lot of us, including me, wake up and think - since when did my nose resemble Rudolph or why are my pores so abnormally large all of a sudden? There's nothing wrong with a little help from our friends in the form of Talika's Skin Retouch as seen in the September issue of Real Simple magazine. This miracle in a tube consists of a clear fluid infused with tiny light reflecting pigments that help to blur imperfections like dehydration lines, redness and unsightly grand canyon like pores. I like to call it photoshop in liquid form but you can just call it your next beauty staple!

MMO Roundup: The Old Republic's beta pulls 2 million players {WoW}
Dec 7th 2011 7:17PM Out of 2 million only 750,000 actually signed up to play? This is supposed to be impressive?
As one of those 2 million who didn't sign up after I played I was not impressed. It was too much like WoW to want to play it in lieu of WoW. The cut-scenes were nice when my character actually said what I thought she was going to say, the combat was slick, but too WoW like. I wish they had taken more gameplay risks, but as it stands it is too derivative for me. And the Paragon/Renegade thing just weirds me out, especially since you can't actually switch sides, (if you could switch permanently after some special story mission that would be sweet). All the races are humans with "features" or dipped in green/red paint, and it looks really lazy when comparing more unique races between different games.
I'm hoping GW2 will be better, or maybe Wildstar, but who knows when they'll be out.

It is possible to play a game and not read bug reports/posts or check websites like this or know how a new feature works right out of the gate. While it was Blizzard's bug they did little (ie, NOTHING) in game or on the loading screen to tell players about the bug or the consequences of exploiting it.
I put the ball in Blizzard's court in the average dumb player's case. As for Paragon, they should have known better.
Paragon: We're sorry we cheated {WoW}
Dec 6th 2011 3:23PM I tend to be in your camp in cases like this. Just... take all of their tier gear and move on. In this case Paragon should have known better, but Blizzard needs to find SOME fault in themselves, as it was their bug. They really need to change their policy regarding bugs/information and having that information appear in game or on the loading screen. But I digress....
"In my time Duel Monsters is a broken, exploitable mess of a game... and I'm going to exploit the HELL of out if!"
Paragon: We're sorry we cheated {WoW}
Dec 6th 2011 3:15PM I have voiced in the past that bugs like this are Blizzard's fault and you can't get mad at the average dumb player that might not have known that something was unintended, doesn't check blue posts, doesn't read up on WoW on websites like this, so on, simply because WoW doesn't tell you things like this in the game where you would have no excuse. But Paragon of all people should have known better.
At least they decided to announce what they had done long before any Heroic DW kills or anything. I applaud them for their honesty and hope that they will use whatever suspention/ban/fingerwag time they get to become stronger.

Pro Tip: Don't exploit loot rules in LFR's Dragon Soul {WoW}
Dec 3rd 2011 1:39AM I read eeeeeverything you said. I just am of the mind that players are more a force than an individual people, and it is easy to figure out how they will respond to certain stimuli: If you let them do something they will do it, if you prohibit them from doing something that they are capable of doing due to poor execution on the game creator's part, they will do it. If they are given something on accident they will take it, probably unaware that it was unintended; not everyone reads the online notes or websites like these. Blizzard can throw "tantrums" and point the accusing finger and wield the banhammer as they see fit, I do not deny them that right; however I think it is a bad, bad policy.
Players as a whole are dumb, dumb creatures that need to be fenced in properly. If there is a hole in the fence when the sheep herder herds brings his sheep in, and they get out and get into the cabbages, that is the sheep herder's fault. He can yell at the sheep, he can kill the sheep that did what was so obviously against his will, but in the end he is shooting himself in the foot. Now he has fewer sheep, and has less wool/meat to weather out the bad winter storms.
Now if it was like this: Please players, we know of this bug, please don't exploit it or we'll ban you, and they put it up for all to see in the login screen, then fine. But if it is something like this, where less savvy people might not know that it is an a self proclaimed "exploit", then they shouldn't be punished outside of taking away the things they got with said exploit.
May our "gods" govern us with wisdom. Amen.
The Lawbringer: They stole my guild charter! {WoW}
Dec 2nd 2011 7:25PM Artists on dA have to deal with what the angry boomkin is dealing with all the time. Pictures taken and used as avatars or posted all over their facebook or photobucket- things they didn't ask for and that aren't being used the way you intended.
This is what I've learned being on there for 6 years:
If the person took it and then, "traced it", edited it, used it for a tshirt for their softball team, or posted it somewhere else, let it go, especially if they aren't claiming they made it. Not worth your time. You can request that they link back to you, but don't fret about it if they don't.
However if they are claiming they made it, then you should write the person directly and ask them to cut it out, and at least provide a link to your original work. If they do not then try to get the site taken down. If you can't then roll it off your back. It sucks, I know, but try not to let it bother you.
If they are making money off of the image/writing, THEN you get to pursue legal action (if you can), especially if they are PRETENDING to be you and slandering your name. It's expensive, you'll probably lose money, but to some it is worth it.
Above all, do not be over protective and sound like a giant dbag, sitting on your hoard of treasures like a red noxious dragon screaming "MINE! MINE" to all who pass. It will not win you any friends.

Franklin Library Desk Stand
Franklin Library Desk Stand
Laptop Work Desk
Purchased this stand a year ago and have sat at my desk only a very limited amount. I've set my laptop on the surface and the mouse to the right. The raised edge at the bottom is sufficient to keep either from sliding off the desk surface. That said, the ergonomics of this set-up are not perfect and could lead to carpal-tunnel symptoms (anyone over 5'-10" may think the stand is too short for the this set up). To get around this, I've placed a small notebook under the front of the laptop (as a wedge) to make the keyboard a bit more level and the same for under the keyboard. While this may not be appealing to the eye, it is very functional and - a year later - proves to work. My colleagues rarely see me sitting and are envious!
April 23, 2012
Great product, poor tools
I love it, don't get me wrong. But when it arrived, the legs were mislabeled, which meant that I had to take off the left rear leg after I had turned the bolt down on the lock washer. The supplied screwdriver is grossly inadequate. It is at least one Philips size too small, and chewed up the bolt head as I tried to dismantle the mislabeled leg. Furthermore, the supplied screwdriver is not long enough, and putting on the rear legs is difficult because of the angle one must attack the bolt head. MY ADVICE: Buy it. It's beautiful and does what it's supposed to do...BUT break out several longer, bigger Philips screwdrivers and use them. Also, don't trust the labeling of the legs. They are side and corner specific.
February 11, 2012
Worth the money
The stand was excellently wrapped. All parts were fully protected by thick styrofoam. There was nothing missing. The instuctions are too sparse. If one isn't familiar with assembling these types of dis-assembled prodcts, you could be in for a challenge. It took me about an hour, and I had to figure the process out, step by step. However, when assembled, the stand is exactly as pictured. It is solidly constructed, heavy (about 40 lbs), functional as either a standing desk or a book stand, and it looks good.

Lovely piece challenge to construct
I agree with most other comments: the bookstand is a lovely piece but a challenge to set up. Happily all hardware was included (although drawer pull was floating around in desk drawer) & the holes were drilled in all the correct places. Glad that pieces were numbered in accordance with instructions, but the fact that legs were numbered incorrectly led to some confusion. Major challenge is that "everything has to be constructed before anything can be constructed." It is quite difficult -- working solo -- to get the pull drawer inserted appropriately. I managed to do it with quite a lot of effort, but it left some (minor) scuff marks on the top of the pull drawer and I wasn't able to bolt the pull drawer to the body of the piece. Not an operational problem because the drawer sits on ledges cut out of the legs, so I'm confident it will be stable, but it would add to the overall stability of the piece if the drawer were pegged and bolted in as the instructions require. Given mis-direction and confusion it took me about 90 minutes to construct. The lack of step-by-step instructions, particularly with respect to the tricker aspects of construction, is something that Levenger should address. Once constructed the piece is lovely and my kid and I have enjoyed having a good display space for our over-sized world atlas.

SUPERIOR Dictionary Stand
I chose the Franklin Dictionary Stand based on its looks first, and second on the reviews that were posted. Many people stated that the stand was very beautiful, but hard to put together. I found it to be 100% the opposite. I carefully read the instructions thoroughly first, then sat down and put it together with NO problem WHATSOEVER. It is sturdy, beautiful, and an overall excellent choice if you want a dictionary stand. I highly recommend it to anyone! Quite happy with mine!!!!! Just read the instructions first and you will not have any problems at all. Those that did have problems most likely didn't do that.
July 28, 2011
nice piece of furniture
I use this entirely as a standing desk, and it works well for me (which was not entirely expected because I am 6" 3").. The construction is very sturdy, but beware that the dark finish model really shows chips to its finish. If there is ever a redesign, I would eliminate the little circular niche for the magnifier (in this day of online dictionaries I would bet most buyers do not use these as dictionary stands, and don't use the magnifier). The assembly directions are definitely obtuse.
July 9, 2011
A fine product, but not as pictured
I received the Franklin Desk today, and managed to get it built. My only concern is that the ledge show in the photographs is different on the model I received, which is not level, but instead slopes slightly toward the front. I wouldn't feel very confident putting a cup of coffee on it, but it still is fine for resting almost anything else.
June 18, 2011
I am extremely pleased with this product. The product is solid and sturdy, functional and beautiful. I usually prefer solid wood, but this laminate is nearly indistinguishable. It makes our home library look so elegant without being pompous. The height and other dimensions are perfect. I use it to hold an open extra large atlas so my family can access it easily and learn geography more readily. It accommodates the atlas wonderfully. Yes, the directions are a bit confusing, but it sounds like Levenger is addressing this issue. In fact, I damaged one piece, and was sent another one. Customer service was exquisite as well. This is a rare company indeed and has earned my admiration.
March 16, 2011
Outstanding Stand
This dictionary stand is awesome. I could not find another one of this caliber in this price range. When it went on sale I jumped to buy it. Fortunately, reviewers had mentioned difficulties with assembling so I knew just what to look for and my assembly went smoothly and quickly--even with the "help" of my 5 year old. I love the attention to detail--the leather lined drawer and the inclusion of the dome magnifier. Overall, it is very sturdy and a beautiful piece of furniture. I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.
March 4, 2011
Takes a mechanic to assemble
I have ordered many items from Levenger and have been impressed with their quality. Not this one. Here's what I got: - Chipped veneer - Included screw driver too long to fit into the pocket where the rear screws go (luckly I had a stubby one of my own) and not robust enough for the other terribly-aligned screws - Front leg that had to be hammered - hard - into place - Front screws so badly aligned that I had to get a high-quality hard screw driver and put all of my weight (190 lbs) into it to drive them into place Don't buy this if you are not ready to teach your children some new words.

text: The Dirtball, the newly crowned member of the Kottonmouth Kings, unleashes his most compelling solo release to date, Nervous System. This album pushes the limitations of lyrical mastery, virtually beyond comprehension. The Dirtball rips apart the world's rap pack- leaving charred remains of wannabes and sucker emcees in his wake! Enter the twisted and intricate psyche of one of music's most talented and unique personalities… Genius, groundbreaking, and mind-blowing! Blasts of sonically charged track after track push the boundaries of where rap music has ventured!! PREPARE to get your wig fried like a $20 perm with an acid based solution!!!!! Listen to Nervous System and realize why so many rappers SUCK! Nervous System is a Masterpiece. The album is powered by the machine gun attack of his motor-mouth and irresistible hooks, the album can dazzle fans of Southern Rap (Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon), battle mainstream heavyweights (Twista, Lupe Fiasco), or stands toe-to-toe with underground legends (Tech N9ne, Kottonmouth Kings, or Insane Clown Posse).

Hi, It's me again talking about cross-prefix/prefix-chaining. the current cross-prefix patch is mostly unmaintainable right now, sinec it's just too big. so i decided to try a new approach, which patches portage to be able to read the var/db/* tree of other portage instances, and take configured dependency types from there. what i mean is, that in etc/make.conf for one prefix installation i can do something like "READONLY_EROOT=/some/other/prefix:DEPEND" or even "READONLY_EROOT=/some/other/prefix/with/the/same/CHOST:DEPEND,RDEPEND", which will enable the prefix with this make.conf ro resolve any DEPEND atom from the installed tree of that prefix. of course i'm aware that this _might_ break things, if somebody decides to unmerge packages from /some/other/prefix, but i guess there is no way around that right now. I need to create a chained-prefix-setup package or something like that, and toolchain wrappers, but that's the next step after the portage patch is done... (maybe i'll patch baselayout-prefix?) i'll summarize the changes i have done: _emerge/__init__.py: * for correct readonly resolving, i need to know which kind of DEPEND/RDEPEND/PDEPEND i'm working on. this is why i need to memorize them as dep_type, and pass it through to the readonly resolver functions. the rest of the behaviour is exactly the same as before, so this has absolutely no influence on functionality. * i'm setting disp_parent on trees[root], since parent can be None, and i want a consistent display of readonly packages in the final merge list. as before, this does not change behaviour in any way. * when displaying the merge list, i'm now also displaying a list of readonly packages, selected from another portage instance's var/db tree. this also has no effect on portage's behaviour portage/__init__.py: * i added code to memorize and parse readonly EROOT's from make.conf, recursing into readonly prefixes. this means that one can build a chain of prefixes (thus prefix chaining). this keeps going as long as a make.conf it find's contains a READONLY_EROOT line. This still does not change portage's behaviour. There is one pitfall here: for example think of this setup: /my/prefix/etc/make.conf: READONLY_EROOT=/my/parent/prefix:DEPEND /my/parent/prefix/etc/make.conf: READONLY_EROOT=/my/pp/prefix:DEPEN,RDEPEND This will cause /my/prefix to resolve RDEPEND's from /my/pp/prefix! this needs to be discussed, wether this is ok, or wether only DEPEND's should be resolved, since from /my/parent/prefix only DEPEND's are allowed. * i added the logic for really reading the chained var/db trees and resolving dependencies from there. this is two functions, which on their own of course don't change portage's behaviour. * i had to add the dep_type argument to the dep_check function to be able to do correct readonly resolving. this on it's own doesn't change anything, since there is a default value, so any existing unmodified call will still work. * if the dep_type is set (which should be the case during relevant parts of dependency resolving), the only change thet influences portage's behaviour comes into play: a call to the readonly dependency resolving algorithm. this works by marking packages as provided, just as if they where specified in package.provided. portage/dbapi/vartree.py: * the vartree class is used for readonly dependency resolution, just as with the normal "local" var/db. this means i have to somehow avoid EPREFIX beeing added to all the paths, since i want to have only the path to the chained parent. this is only in effect if the vartree is constructed with kill_eprefix=True, which is only the case for readonly vartrees, so it does not influence the rest of portage in any way. so far, so good. i hope i got all changes :) BTW.: this enables a prefixed portage instance to resolve DEPENDS (or anything you like) from /. this means on gentoo linux, most packages could be taken from / and a prefix installation akts like an "extension" to it. as i said above i still have to figure out the baselayout and toolchain wrapper stuff :) questions/comments? Cheers, Markus

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rose!
Facts about Rose
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Rose's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Rose is looking for a loving home! We rescued her thanks to a very nice couple in Lakeland, FL. She's currently in Winter Haven, FL and doing excellent with her foster home. She loves to play with other dogs and be active, but can certainly be a loving lap dog too. She is getting over Demodectic Mange(non-contagious/ not serious) and almost fully healed up! She's spayed, up to date on all of her shots, dewormed, and potty trained- ready for your home! Please email us today, because she will certainly get adopted soon!
Other Pets at Polk Pet Project
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rose, a Winter Haven American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Winter Haven, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Winter Haven.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Winter Haven 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 Winter Haven 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 American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Winter Haven paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bacteria Evolution
Name: Maria J. Status: Student Age: 16 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: March 2004
Which evolved first gram-positive cell or gram-negative cell?
Dear Maria,
This isn't an easy question to answer, since it's difficult to determine cell wall structure from the limited bacterial fossil records available. However, the most primitive true bacteria in existence are the green & purple/sulfur & nonsulfur bacteria and the cyanobacteria, all of which are gram-negative. This would suggest that the primordial eubacterium may have been gram-negative, too. But it has also been argued that the more simplistic structure of the gram-positive cell wall indicates that the primordial eubacterium is more likely to have been gram-positive, as well. This debate appeared to have been settled by fairly recent gene sequence comparisons, reported as follows in an article entitled, "The Gram Stain and Microbial Classification", from the Society for Anaerobic Microbiology:
"The application of comparative sequence analysis of informational macromolecules had a profound effect on recent thinking in microbial systematics and evolution and the emphasis placed on the Gram reaction has now been superseded by comparative 16S rRNA sequence analysis. On the basis of this method Aquifex pyrophilis was shown to belong to an ancient phlyletic line of eubacteria and the finding that this species possessed a Gram-negative type cell wall refutes a dichotomous classification system based on cell wall structure and supports a polyphyletic origin of Gram-negative bacteria." -
Although this appears to support the argument for a gram-negative eubacterial ancestry, the article goes on to cite newer evidence indicating that there may not be a discrete separation betwen the gram-negative & -positive eubacteria, similar to the situation in the archaebacteria.
So the answer to your question is, probably gram-negative, but stay tuned for new evidence that could prove otherwise. Finally, there are some nice General Microbiology lecture notes from Miami Univ. of Ohio on "Microbial Evolution and Systematics" that provide a nice, general overview of the Origin of Microbial Life on Earth, if you're interested
( http://www.cas.muohio.edu/~stevenjr/mbi202/evolution202.html ).
Thanks a lot for the great question,

Getting TC's/Thanksgiving Cactus to bloom isn't a problem, but keeping flowers alive more than 4-5 days is an issue. Does anyone know the length of time TC blooms should live? Actually, my TC flowers barely make it 4-5 days.. Is 4 days too short or average? How many days/weeks, do your TC blooms last? Thanks, Toni |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would also like to know. I'm a TC newbie, but on mine I have observed that the flowers look pretty and formed and full for about 2.5 days, after that, they are still 'pretty', but they start wilting and drooping a bit and lose their shape until they look spent, maybe another 2-4 days later. |

Wendy, thanks..So, fading TC flowers do well 4-5 days... What made me curious is, TC's sold in stores seem to continue blooming a week or longer. On the bottom of your post it says, 'This post was edited by Wendy, blah blah.' Did you write it or is it another GW feature? Hey Josh..long time no see. Where have you been hiding? How's your true Christmas Cactus? Has it started budding/flowering? |

Hi Toni! All that wait, just to see our flowers spent within 5 days?lol Mine are ina cool, moist room, and still after 5 days, they are goners..I guess you can say they last longer than those one day blooming varieties..lol By the way, editing is a new feature! Look under..'clippings' to the right of your name. You can come back and edit your postings at any timeeeeeeee Mike |

The individual blooms on mine are also about five day wonders, and they are in a cool room. I am not so sure a vendor really does much better. Now if they are blooming on one side closest to the window first, and then the other side, this can make the bloom time seem longer. |
- Posted by rachelthepoet 7 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 9, 12 at 16:00
Ours have been around 5-7 days. Since I started gardening with daylilies, to me 5 days is more than enough! I am easy to please! |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Sun, Dec 9, 12 at 17:15
Mike...can't complain..ever have Hibiscus? Flowers last a little over 24-hours..the difference, Hib buds and flowers bloom continuously. Well, almost..Depends on light. Yeah, all that waiting..one reason I'd like yellow & green, or white & green, variegated TC. :) Mike, my TC's are in a cool room, too..Ironically, one newer TC is in the LR..LR is much warmer, yet the flowers are still alive..been more than 5 days..Less light..wonder if that makes a difference... Mike, after clicking on 'Preview Message,' I have the option to correct mistakes..Is that the same as 'Clipping'? ASeed...actually, the TC's I've seen are nowhere near a window..the only light source they get is artificial. Rachel..do you grow Daylilies indoors? In containers? |

Hey, Toni and Mike ;-) Toni, I've been busy with the end of the school semester approaching, but I'll be around My Christmas Cactus is, indeed, setting up buds! I'm so glad that the late-season re-potting Even my constantly pruned bonsai CC is setting buds! I guess that even pruning won't prevent

Rachel..I thought, by chance, you grew lilies indoors. I tried once..kept bulbs in the fridge..no luck. Josh. When your CC flowers, please post pics. I didn't know you had a CC bonsai..have a pic? I can't imagine what CC bonsai looks like or how it grows. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Dec 10, 12 at 13:56
Oh, yeah, I've posted pics of the bonsai before :-) Long ago, I decided to try rooting a *woody* piece of my Christmas Cactus so that I could establish a trunk that much sooner. Well, it worked, and I've been pruning the plant constantly to keep the arms sturdy without too much drooping. Here's the Mother :-) |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Dec 10, 12 at 14:01
And the plant I'm growing in bonsai fashion... I rooted this three years ago, and I cut it back three times a year at least. *Note: this image was taken at the end of August. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Dec 10, 12 at 14:52
Josh, it's been a while since seeing mom CC. She grew so big. Yep, I see buds. Many buds. How many segments did it take to start CC bonsai? It grew quite a bit in three years, Josh. When you say bonsai..is CC growing in a small pot? Do you have a goal, a certain look in mind? Interesting. I'm impressed.. Well, to the doctor...Beautiful CC, Josh. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Dec 10, 12 at 15:07
Thanks, Toni. When I say bonsai, I mean using bonsai techniques to maintain size and to accentuate This is to give you an idea of how the cutting looked in its early days. I thought it would die |

Still not sure exactly how big niches will be, can't be very wide as they have to go on short 3' wall along with shower heads and valves. So probably under 12" wide, though may be able to make them tall enough to have 2 shelves. Am thinking we will line them either with same limestone looking porcelain tiles as walls (or real limestone 'crazy paving' mosaic if my tile guy can source it), but want to make the actual shelves out of my granite. What did you guys do when your granite is 3cm thick, seems like a very thick shelf! And, then, if you use 3cm thick granite, how do you support a second shelf? Is just the edge of the tile and the mortar enough to hold it in place? |

Our niches have 2cm granite shelves and the top shelf is supported by the tile below. Our fabricator was able to cut the slab down to this thickness. Remember to pitch them slightly outward for drainage. |
- Posted by mydreamhome (My Page) on Tue, Apr 9, 13 at 23:52
You can also buy quite thin granite tiles (1cm I think) and have your tile guy cut them into whatever shape you need and use them for shelves. |
In my master, the granite was 3cm and I opted for very similar looking marble pieces for the base, 3/8 glass for the shelves. In my other bath, I used caesarstone. Yes 3cm is too thick for a shelf, even a base in my opinion. Depending on the granite, they can cut it down. they could not in my case, too many fissures. |

A raft of high-profile Hollywood women have bitten back after claims about their slender frames.
Winslet has won a "substantial donation'' to an eating disorder charity from Grazia magazine over a claim that she visited a diet doctor.
She said: "I am not a hypocrite. I have always been, and shall continue to be, honest when it comes to body/weight issues. I shall continue to hope that women are able to believe in themselves for who they are inside, and not feel under such incredible pressure to be unnaturally thin.'' To this end, she has banned magazines with pictures of skinny stars from her home because of the damaging effect it could have on her six-year-old daughter.
Keira Knightley has launched a libel action over a Daily Mail story she claims suggested she has "dishonestly sought to mislead the public'' about whether she has an eating disorder. Her lawyer said the story, which "made reference to what it perceived to be Ms Knightley's very slim appearance'', was accompanied by a report about the death of a teenage girl who suffered from anorexia. A statement from Knightley's solicitors said she would "challenge the suggestion that she is responsible and to blame for the tragic death of the teenage girl by setting a bad example''.
Kate Hudson won a libel case against The National Enquirer at the High Court in London last year after it suggested the American actor had an eating disorder. She won undisclosed damages after the magazine claimed she had endangered her health by deliberately starving herself. The actor took action against the title after it published a story with the headline "Goldie tells Kate: Eat something! And she listens!'' It claimed that Goldie Hawn confronted her daughter over photographs that showed her looking "painfully thin''. The article was accompanied by a picture of Hudson looking frail and gaunt, taken in mid-August 2005. Her solicitor Simon Smith said the allegations were completely untrue, and embarrassing and offensive to the actress, who was concerned about the impact on her career. Hudson later said: "The allegations I sued over were blatantly false. I felt I had no choice but to set the record straight by challenging them in court.''
Victoria Beckham, who admitted that she suffered from an eating disorder in the early days of the Spice Girls, has reportedly banned skinny models from catwalk shows of her new fashion line to give a "positive image'' to young girls. She has publicly attributed her diminutive stature to "controlled eating'', reportedly saying: "I think there's a big difference between someone having an eating disorder and someone who is controlled about what they eat.''

Dear All,
My parents claim to have an issue with insects they claim that has moved from the outdoor garden to the inside of the home. They are tiny insect that cannot be seen. Keep in mind they are both in their 80's. I have visited and even stayed the night but saw no problems. They think it is the noseeums like here: www.noseeums.org but I am not so sure. They have used all types of spray. I am wondering if its red bugs or chiggers. Sorry I am no insect expert but I looked at several sites such as www.chiggers.info BUT maybe the www.noseeums.org site describes the issue better. Anyway thanks for any help or control advise. Ken |
