Betsy Banks Saul received her master's degree in Forestry from Clemson University in 1996. What she did with that degree, however, has saved the lives of over 20 million pets. What started out as a New Year's Resolution to use the internet to help pets has turned into Petfinder.com. This website is a database of over 350,000 adoptable homeless pets in North America. It is responsible for 70 percent of animal adoptions around the country. Saul fondly remembers her time at Clemson; especially hanging out at the Esso Club with wildlife and engineering friends. A Missouri girl, Saul says that she fell in love with the Southeast while at Clemson. She now lives in Florida and also has a farm of rescued animals in North Carolina.

Seventeen percent of Clemson's Fall 2012 freshman class (and 32 percent of incoming transfer students) are first-generation students — they are the first students in their immediate family to attend a four-year college or university. While these families are eager and prepared to provide support to their child, some may be less prepared to offer advice and experience because they are unfamiliar with many of the adjustments required for a successful transition from high school. Bob Barreto '79, was one of these first generation graduates and shares his story here. He admits that starting college was an adjustment with "the constant challenge of not knowing what to expect."

Clemson marine biologist Andrew Mount of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences focused on the genes related to the oyster shell for the team led by Goufan Zhang of the Institute of Oceanology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The research shows that the oyster's genes enable it to adapt and cope with environmental stresses, such as temperature and saltwater changes, air exposure and heavy metal pollution. For Mount's Okeanos Research Laboratory at Clemson, it seems that shell formation is a far more complex process than previously thought. Read More > Okeanos Research Laboratory >

This year we will host the 4th Annual Clemson Student Memorial 5k on Sunday, October 21st at 2 pm. All proceeds will be donated to the All Faiths Chapel and Student Memorial Garden Project. Also, join us for the 5k Race Remembrance Celebration in the Greek Quad from the start of the race until 5pm. This is an event for both runners and supporters with entertainment, food, fellowship and most importantly, a time to remember those we've lost. Fraternity and Sorority Life believes that it is our responsibility to each other as members of the Clemson Family to ensure that no one should have to experience the loss of a loved one without having a place to go for remembrance, reflection and prayer. Currently, no such place exists on Clemson's campus. We see this race as our honor and obligation not only to our brothers and sisters but to Clemson, to build a place to remember our fellow Tigers who have passed away during their time here; Tigers who walked the same campus, sang the same Alma Mater, enjoyed the same traditions, but did not live to see their graduation day.

When Clemson scores during a football game, the Tiger mascot does one push up for every point, and is cheered on by the counting student body. That means Clemson's 41-7 victory over Furman on September 15 led to some very sore biceps for the Tiger. Luckily, he got a little help. After Clemson scored its third touchdown in the third quarter to make the score 27-7, the Tiger did his ritual 27 push ups and--much to the amazement and thrill of everyone in Death Valley--revealed himself to be none other than President Barker!

In a rarely seen moment in sports, the Tiger Band was highlighted on ESPN to recognize the unsung heros of college football. Dr. Mark Spede shared with ESPN how he created the less famous entrance of the marching band that accompanies the Tigers as they run down the hill. Read More >
The Atlantic Coast Conference Presidents voted and unanimously decided to accept the University of Notre Dame into the conference. The Fighting Irish will be full conference members in every sport besides football, which will play 5 ACC games per year. Coach Dabo Swinney calls it a "win-win" for Notre Dame and the conference and the move is great for all other sports. Overall, the Tigers and the Fighting Irish have met 26 times in all sports. Notre Dame has the 18-8 advantage including a win in men's soccer earlier this year. With the addition of the University of Notre Dame, the ACC now has more schools competing at the highest athletic level. When Notre Dame joins the conference, there will be 11 schools within the top 58 in the 2013 survey of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report. Read More >

OMG! I'm so thrilled I can hardly stand it. Contractor said he expected to finish up today and would hand over the keys, so to speak. lol Came home today to find the kitchen cleaned up and not a tool in site! And . . . WOW!!! This is the first time I've been able to see it without the covered floors, plastic sheeting and tools everywhere. It looks amazing. They still have some work to do like some molding that they ran out of and the back splash and a couple of minor things. Plus I need to paint.
I asked the kids (6 and 11) what they wanted for their first meal in the new kitchen and they have requested turkey meatloaf, roasted potatoes, artichokes and chocolate cake. My daughter is at a friends this evening so we'll be having that for dinner tomorrow night. I'll be spending the weekend moving in!! |

pictures, pictures, pictures...Please! :-) |
You are so lucky!! Have a GREAT meal!! Still eating out here !! Nancy |
AWESOME for you Poohpup!! You KNOW GW comes before cooking in that new gem, don't you? :) (That means pictures, please!! CAN'T wait to see that sink!) |
No hood for the cooktop?? |

Congrats!! It's beautiful! You must be THRILLED : ) |
WOW that is BREATHTAKING!! It's actually making me want to get up and go work on mine! LOL LOVE that picture shot of the Mama and the Papa they look so nice together. And that chandelier! IT just looks like the cherry on top! Wow, congratulations...... Go pop some popcorn or something so it will smell like cooking going on. :) |
- Posted by clarygrace (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 12 at 20:04
Spectacular!!! Congratulations and kudos to you for designing such a beautiful kitchen!!! that countertop says it all...enjoy for many years to come with family and friends!!!! |
WOW! I LOVE your new kitchen! What an absolutely beautiful space - have fun cooking in it. Are you going to put a hood over the peninsula btw? I only ask because we are debating about the same thing ourselves as we redo our own kitchen. |
gorgeous! I will be right over for dinner ;) |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 12 at 20:29
Mistman- I'm sure it's a downdraft...who would want to block the view of the fireplace and TV? Poohpup- It's beautiful! I love the chandelier...and I'm really not a 'chandelier in the kitchen' kind of gal...but that's wonderful. Great cabinets and countertop, too and the appliances...all those ovens, so much fun you're going to have in your new kitchen! :) |
Oh my it turned out so well! I have watching your selections along the way and they even look more stunning all put together. You have done a wonderful job of putting together a truly beautiful and unique kitchen. It's just gorgeous! |
That chandelier is magnificent. Great choice. |
Thanks for all the nice comments. I am so thrilled. :) I don't have a hood over the peninsula. Went with a downdrft instead. That was my biggest concession in the kitchen remodel. I have a funky layout with all the odd angles and two doors that bring traffic through the kitchen. I'd planned on going with a range but would have had to have my back to the rest of the house while cooking or place it in the walkway. Didn't really want a range in the first place as I don't like cooking over hot ovens and don't like having the eovens on the floor. The peninsula solved that issue. Now I can cook while interacting with my family and my ovens aren't on the floor. I didn't want a hood closing off the space plus it would have caused issues with the storeage in the attic above, so I went with a downdraft. The cooktop was in the island before and I had a downdraft. Not the perfect solution but the best for me. Thanks again for all the nice comments. I've loved seeing everyone's completed kitchens and it is so fun to be able to show off my almost completed kitchen. :) |

That is the *BEST* granite ever. |
The colors and designs from your cabinets to your granite - AND your creative design to maximize that space ... All of it is an amazing work of art. Beautiful! Welcome home! |

- Posted by fouramblues (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 12 at 22:25
Thank you for sharing pics of your beautiful kitchen! I think that just about every element of your kitchen is a show-stopper, but they all get along so nicely. Amazing overall effect. |
I get why you went with the downdraft option, it definitely works in your space and keeps everything open! Good job once again, looks amazing - enjoy it! :) |
That is a beautiful kitchen! I love the colors you picked out. And those sinks - wow! Great job picking everything out. Enjoy it!!! |
Oh my! Your kitchen is so beautiful. The chandelier is amazing. Great choices! |
A beautiful kitchen. I liked the new kitchen in your old house too. Curious on what species and stain color were used on the cabinets? |
Pooh - that is one beautiful kitchen - Zowie!!!! Impressive! How did that meal go? Love everything about your kitchen (especially that Waterstone!) and the granite. I asked DH what he wanted me to cook for our first meal - he wants salmon burgers on the grill. Darn, I can't seem to find any.... Also how wide is your widest drawer and how wide are your single handles (center to center) - supposed to have mine installed tomorrow.... |
It is gorgeous, even unfinished. How exciting to be so close to the finish line too. I love all your counters and that gorgeous chandelier. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 12 at 23:52
wow stunning and elegant kitchen! congrats! cannot wait to see the final pics! |
You're all invited to dinner. I'll make a really big meatloaf for Saturday dinner. :) The chandelier is from Ballard Designs and I already had it. It was hanging in my dining room and I thought it would be perfect for the kitchen. Now I need to replace the one in the dining room. aries61, I loved my old kitchen and it was so hard to leave it after a year. The cabs in that kitchen were cherry with a custom stain and a glaze. A2gemini, my largest drawers are 36" and I went with a 6" pull. Lovin' my Waterstone faucets! |
How elegant!!! And your granite is gorgeous! And so many drawers! You are going to have so much fun with everything -- enjoy!! |

Gorgeous! Everything looks awesome. Great job :-) |
It really is spectacular Poohpup You must be so excited! |
Looks fantastic... Went back and looked at the pictures twice, admiring, and THEN noticed that backsplash is not in place. I don't know that you need one! Hope you get to cook that meal tonight! My kids love artichokes too:) |

What time is dinner? Your kitchen turned out fabulous. Congrats and enjoy many many meals with your family in it! Bee |
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! as i knew it would be...you have exquiste taste, i must say. the granite, the sinks, the colors, just beautiful.... love the window over the sink...love the "feel" and "warmth" of it...actually love it all.. enjoy for many years to come and have fun making lots of wonderful memories. all the best!!! |
It's gorgeous. Every detail is perfect. It shows so much thought. I love the angles and the colors. Good luck. Laura |
Those fancy-pancy corbels are perfect!! You know, that missing molding in the pics looks like it's on purpose. [LOL] You certainly are a ornate kind of chick, aren't you? And it all looks so beautiful together. I am so tailored, it's shocking how warm and rich I find your kitchen. Usually I'm distracted and anxious around so much detail. I could pull up a stool and hunker down with a glass of wine just fine in there! Enjoy your wonderful kitchen and 1st family dinner. |
Beautiful! The granite is awesome and really sets off the cabinets and the sinks! At first I thought the missing trim on the cabinets was a two tone effect and was scratching my head! This is a wonderful kitchen. Great Job! Enjoy. |
Your counter and chandelier are stunning!! Everything is so beautiful. I think if I were you, I'd just sit for days smiling. Enjoy. |
Thanks again for all the lovely comments. It is so wonderful to have somewhere to go where others can understand and celebrate. Hard to believe this day has come. Tea4all, you're right, I'm supposed to be moving back into the kitchen and I find myself just staring and smiling. :) CEFreeman, I definitely am an ornate kind of chick. My house really wanted this type of kitchen. That's probably why I loved my house so much when I first saw it. The house has a lot of woodwork and molding and high ceilings with lots of detail. And then the previous owners painted it all white so you can't see any of the detail. Now that the kitchen is mostly done, I'm looking forward to finishing painting the rest of the house so all the gorgeous woodwork will pop. And you are welcome to come hunker down it kitchen with a glass of wine anytime! Red or white? :) |

Gotta say it: your kitchen is over the top gorgeous! You certainly pulled it all together in a big way~love the layout and the fact that whether you are standing at the sink or the stovetop, you've got a beautiful view. Congrats! |
Wow! This has to be one of the most stunning kitchens I have ever seen. The workmanship is outstanding. Dino |
Pooh! Wonderful - now just get that oven problem under control and you are set for a long time!! Love your kitchen!! You have been my inspiration during my remodel! |
Love your style! Can u share What granite and sink styles you have? |
Thanks pqsmom. The granite is Magma Supreme with a leathered finish. The main sink is a 36" Rachiele copper farmhouse single bowl. The prep sink is an 18" Rachiele copper. |
You really have created a wonderfully inviting place, Poohpup. I can see a neighbor schmoozing over a glass of wine as comfortably as a noisy family divvying up the pizza. Sadly, our house in our climate requires a fan, but if the chance arises I'll have a chandelier in some kitchen someday. That's on my long-view list. :) Happy cooking! |
My first thought was "Look at that Magma granite!!" It is one of my favorites, but with my cabinets, my cabinets got swallowed up. You did a beautiful job doing darker granite with darker cabinets. It is absolutely stunning. Have fun with your new baby! |
Pooh - I drool everytime I see you kitchen!!! I can't get enough of it!! |

Hi all,
I have approx 3 ft section outside of a 6 foot privacy fence that I would like to grow a 15+ ft privacy barrier. I would like it to be an upright growing everygreen, such that I can still have access to fence maintence ect.. upper part for more privacy screening as neighbors land slopes upward. I have reviewd the Lombardy Popla and Rocky Mountain Juniper. The Lombardy seems to have very evasise root systems and disease pone. The Juniper, haven't found too many opinions on it yet. I welcome any advice ... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Degroot's Spire should work. Just be prepared to spend a little more than $200 for 5 foot tall ones which are B&B in 20 gallon size pots. They can take full sun, but in Zone 7 they also do well with afternoon shade. They are reported to grow from 10 - 20 feet tall and spread only about 3 feet They grow very slowly, so it will not be a good idea to purchase any that are shorter than 5-6 feet tall. |

Thank you. I ended up going with juniper skyrocket, tough little things, though it took abot 15 of them since they get only 2 feet wide. Got them at 3 ft high |

You want to learn how to install tile? Who can blame them, right? Ceramics are one of the most popular on the market today, tile shapes and fits perfectly in your home. Brand manufacturer ceramic tile collections can change your homes air. So, let us begin with the basics.
The first thing to do it. Installing that you start everything you need to ensure They are tiles, spacers, adhesives, grouts, rags, a level, sponges, a rubber float, trowel, hammer, tape measure, knife, hammer, tile cutters, pliers, tongs need, and cannot forget sunglasses safety.
Firstly you have to prepare the ground. This is important because you want to make sure that all holes and cracks in the ground are filled or to be repaired. Now, you have to prepare the ground for placement. Before you do this, decide what type of soil it is the method of constructing a concrete floor is plywood or vinyl flooring is different.
After the soil must be prepared to take off your tiles, cut – if it has not taken place yet. A tile cutter is ideal for this task. Then you need to start looking at the thin layer of adhesive mortar for most types of ceramic tiles. This aids in the laying of the tiles.

So we understand the time constraints you before commencing work and make sure you have adequate time to invest to have the installation successfully.

After you have added the adhesive on the bottom, you will begin to lay the tiles row by row. You do not want to set them side by side, but leave room for grout. Grout spacers are ideal to make sure that you leave enough space.
In some cases, the adhesive will start to climb through the rooms, simply remove and do not let it be so. You need a certain pressure on the tile to set it to ensure that you are putting in your applied glue to use.
Until the glue dries, you have the option of the piece if needed to move. Keep adding water to thin as necessary to get it to work on time. After his oeuvre he checks over everything again. Do you have enough space? Could things be moved to avoid too much cut tiles?

Get your Groove spacer, if used, and the use of the float, start with. The grout into the joints between the tiles It is necessary to force the grout down your joints. If you have excess, just remove it with your sponge and a little water. Now that you know how to install tile, you can begin.

Mr.C. W. Nibley;- I am just in receipt of yours of the 6th Inst. enclosing copy of Mr. Channel's letter in regard to the Burley yard. I am surprised at you thinking I want to gobble everything up. I should think you would appreciate that it is your interest I am working for, not my own, as you are one of the big toads in the puddle of the Oregon Lumber Company. It does not make so much difference to me, but I thought it would be very essential to look after your interest and seeing that I would be the means of spending nearly a million dollars to help boon, that part of the country, I thought the Oregon Lumber Company should be entity led to a sharp of the trade, but if the yards there will on-ly give a small portion of their trade in return for the boon we hope to encourage, I will feel satisfied, as far as the Oregon Lumber Company In concerned, if you will feel in doing so I am protecting your interest in the Oregon Lumber Company, as you know I am as much interested in you as I am in myself. Yours respectfully, AF-DE

For an extremely hungry 6 week old, when did you start rice cereal?
My daughter weighed 9 lbs, 3 ounces at birth. She never lost any weight, gained 5 ounces in her first two days of life. I could not keep up with her since birth for breastfeeding. The doctor said to just formula feed her as it was not possible to breastfeed. Plus I have a 21 month old as well.
The infant ate 4 ounces of formula every 3 hours since birth up to 4 weeks old. From 4 weeks old to 6 weeks old (now), she eats 5-6 ounces every 2-3 hours. She never settles to sleep for more than 15 minutes, cries constantly, has been diagnosed with acid reflux and colic. The doctor suggested adding rice cereal to her bottle to help the acid reflux. It does not make a difference in her crying or her eating habits. I am adding one teaspoon per bottle.
When did you start feeding your infant rice cereal, as a meal followed by formula or breastmilk?

Never sooner than 6 months. Your babies digestive system is not mature yet and feeding him rice cereal (or anything other than milk) the first 6 months can cause a variety of problems including digestive issues and allergies.posted 04/29/2013 by kericksen
Never start babyhood before 4 months at the very earliest, you really should wait u til 6 months. My 4 weeks old sometimes wants to nurse every hour, go with it. Baby probably is in a growth spurt and is hungry! I have big babies too, my first was 9# and this one was 9.8 at birth and is now 11.2. But right now, breast milk or infant formula is the ONLY thing to feed them, there was a recent report about this very topic on the national news too!posted 04/29/2013 by crexrun
omg, NO. Their digestive systems are not mature enough until AT LEAST 4 months old, if not 6 months old. Try reclining her when you put her down to help with acid reflux and hold upright 15-20 minutes after feedings while burping.posted 05/06/2013 by mamabearofdeux
The rice cereal wont help the reflux, your doc is a bit behind the current research. Try different formula, my sister had to use the $$$ alumentum formula with one of her boys b/c of reflux. And reflux meds as needed. The next step was the GI study, but the alumentum formula worked. You may want to get a second medical opinion from a different pediatricians office.posted 04/29/2013 by crexrun
Starting solids early (before 4-6 months) is associated with many long-term health problems such as allergies, diabetes, and obesity. Breastmilk and formula have more fat and calories than cereal so the milk is more filling. Cereal lacks the nutrients a baby needs so feeding cereal at that age can cause malnutrition.posted 05/28/2013 by agent2187
Please find a new doctor.posted 12/05/2013 by dalexander2
5-6 months for rice cereal! They don't need anything else but formula up until then.posted 03/29/2014 by asturner1986
I would trust what your doctor said over advice from others who haven't been there. Our family has always been early starters on rice cereal and have very healthy babies to boot. We mix it with their formula and never had any issues with digestion.posted 05/10/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
My son is on zantac for reflux, it helps. You can also use gripe water which is natural to help gas and fussiness. Warm baths before bedtime help. They want to eat more because it burns, think when you have have heartburn, you want fluids. So, it is not probably always due to hunger. Try the other things first and if doesn't work then feed them. My babies were big. My second was 5 pounds born (4 weeks early and in NICU). He is now 6 months and 19 pounds...lolposted 12/30/2013 by ddemory
I would wait till 6 months of age or at least when they can sit up. It can cause allergy issues to give them food before then. We skip cereal all together because now with testing they say there is no reason to not start them on veggies or fruits. Our dr. had us skip cereal all together and not give it to them till older if at all. My second has reflux and he is six months. I make my own baby food (cheap and easy). Rice cereal is a myth for reflux it can cause issues down the wait. Wait till your baby is ready. if they are eating all the time...feed them! Mine ate non-stop. It seemed he was always attached. It is overwhelming sometimes but feed them as much as they want. Formula they will be different, but they love that breastmilk!!! :) In the end it is your choice, but I would do your research on cereal before 6 months before doing so. Good luck!posted 12/30/2013 by ddemory

A pinky nude. It's a "My Lips But Better" color! Highly recommended. The smell is a bit strong. It's sweet smelling. After awhile the smell goes away. I really like this lip gloss.
Rating- 4
Price- $5 at Ulta, average price for lip gloss, but comes with a lot of product !
Packaging- Eh, three stars. Its average but you have to be careful when you close it, you don't want extra gunk coming from the sides. The applicator is also extra big which can be hard to apply even to normal sided lips.
I would repurchase.
Its pretty sheer but its a pretty pinky orangey shade thats flattering, and goes perfect with.. a smokey look! haha. I wear it when I wear heavy eye makeup, bronze eye makeup or a natural eye. It looks good with alot of looks. It is a thicker gloss but i like that. Also its not sticky unless you REALLY pile it on. It lasts maybe 2-3 hours tops without eating or drinking. Smells good.
Price: $5.50
Purchase Place: Ricky's
Product: Smokey Look Mega Lip Gloss
I love the smell, I was hoping for more on the peachy side but overall I would say it's a beautiful color. Texture is nice and not too creamy but has a nice bubble gum smell.
Would I buy again, probably not just because I'm in search of the perfect peach gloss and this is more on the coral side but would I recommend buy it, definitely and it doesn't take a lot out of your pocket.
NYX megashine lip glosses are amazing! Smokey Look is my absolute favorite lip gloss. The semi-sheer nude beige color with the slight shimmer is more than just a nude gloss and accents most intense looks, not just smoky eyes.
Ugh this lip gloss. Hate the smell. Hate the packaging - it leaks!! Hate the formula- it separates easily in the bottle :( but I guess I'm a Revlon girl when it comes to lip glosses...
I think NYX glosses are pretty good for the price. However, I only own a few because of the very strong scent/flavor of them. If these were unscented, I would certainly purchase a lot more. The scent is a mix of candy and chemicals. Now, for this specific gloss I absoulutely love the color. Smokey Look is a very warm toned nude peach with some sparkles. You can't even notice the sparkles once applied to the lips. I like topping Smokey Look over a matte nude l/s to provide some dimension. However, on it's own, Smokey Look is sheer if you have pigmented lips. I took one lippie off for the scent.

I was looking for natural lip gloss for everyday use. and had hard time to find it. it had to be not too shimmery, not too strong pigmented, not matt or greasy, natural look color on my lips
at the Ulta beauty store. I tried many lipgloss and I found this color. this one met every criteria I wanted. and now I see this has good reviews after I bought it. lucky. I like it. !!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I picked this up at Ulta and I'm so glad I did. These are creamy as heck and very pigmented. Smokey Look is a beautiful pale pinky brown. I discovered that this is basically the more pigmented and less glittered version of MAC's Dazzleglass in Sublime Shine. Except that I prefer this over my MAC Dazzleglass. I like wearing this over Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake, Creme Brulee, Gumdrop, or Peach Parfait. As you can see this works over a lot of lip sticks, ore even just by it self. This comes with a TON of product and is cheap for the quality of the product. The packaging is adorable with a little bow on the top of the cap. I also love the slant tip applicator. Also, this has glitters in it but not a ton, so beware if you don't like glitter. The glitters in it are less gritty than Dazzleglasses. This smells like cherry's. I don't like the scent but you can only smell it when you open the tube, not on your lips so it's ok.

I find myself often stuck in a bit of a pink rut when it comes to lip products. I'm very pale and cool-toned, so I'm worried that colors will look too dark or give me the dreaded concealer lips. This is a fantastic coral lip gloss that warms up the complexion beautifully without being too orange. It's also worth noting that it photographs well too... Not too thick or shiny looking, just a nice, natural gloss with good color payoff. I love the formula of the mega-shine lipglosses from NYX-- they aren't sticky at all. I think they smell kind of lemony, but it doesn't bother me. This product does require pretty frequent touch-ups but it's very forgiving and easy to do. This is DEFINITELY worth a re-purchase.

Hi all,
I know they are phasing out VCRs, but I still like them, and have tons of VHS tapes. I prefer them to the VCR/DVD combos, since those remotes tend to be so complicated. I have an older panasonic VCR, which I have loved. Its probably about 15 years old?? It was one of the first ones out and they were built much better than the more recent ones. It ate one of my tapes, and then wouldn't function properly. I live outside a smaller town and was happy to find a TV repair guy who also fixed VCRs. I took it in and he said it just needed cleaned up. Well, when I went to use it, it made a very loud whistle and taped a horrible picture. I took it back and he checked it out again. Unfortunately, the tapes he used to check it out all worked perfectly. He said it must be my old tapes. I kept telling him that I tried 3 different tapes, and one of them was brand new, and they all did the same thing. He made a few adjustments on the tracking and said it was fine.
Follow-Up Postings:
It is getting quite hard to find a new VCR today. By law, all new TV's and TV recording gear that can record the standard over the air broadcasts must also have a digital broadcast tuner in them. Or they must be built without a tuner at all. So all VCR's were discontinued and not replaced. I would try your combo unit in the place of the VCR unit just to verify that the VCR unit is still bad. |

So all VCR's were discontinued and not replaced. where in the heck did you hear that? i see TONS of VCRs on the shelves at all local electronics stores and dept stores. there is no law requiring they have a ATSC/QAM tuner. you can get them still with teh NTSC only tuners and put a convertor on them after the digital change over. VCRs are less popular now because everyone uses DVD or DVR technology. just like 8 tracks phased out over time, not due to law but due to consumer demand. to teh OP, check your cables. you may have a bad one. if the unit works fine everytime at his place, but never at yours, then i think you have a bad cable. has anything else changed on this setup? new TV or other device hooked to it? i ask because i have an old vcr/tv combo unit that ifyou plug a DVD or even sat rx to it on the RCA jacks it will do the exact same thing. it is the copy protection built into the vcr itself causing issues, it thinks you are trying to copy a protected media. Wally world has VCRs for around what you paid to fix yours. i would have jsut gone and got a new one. i had a 500.00 JVC high end VCR that bit the dust a couple years ago. i paid 75.00 to get it fixed and it died again about a year later. it is now in the landfill. even though we have a bunch of VHS tapes, we never watch them so i did not replace it this time. i do have an el cheapo VCR in my son's room, so if i just need to watch a VHS i can grab it and hook it up in just a couple minutes. |
There IS a law requiring all TV's and recording equipment built in the US or imported into the US after February 28, 2007, that include an NTSC tuner, must also include an ATSC tuner. If the TV or recording equipment has no tuner at all, than this doesn't apply. Here is an edit from the official FCC document. "By this action, the Commission is modifying its rules to advance the date on which new The Commission is also amending its rules to apply the 1 The modifications made herein affect the final step of this phase-in plan. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Click here to the read whole FCC document.
I would suggest you record on brand new VHS tapes. :) |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Tue, Jan 22, 08 at 13:03
teh key there is that date, there are many still out there waiting to be sold that have only the NTSC tuners. heck, i saw about 50 different models in Sears and Wally world this past weekend. true, anything i buy now i would want to have ATSC/QAM tuners, but not necessarily EVERYTHING you buy NOW will have them. point is, you CAN still get a VCR at a cheap price. |

where do you live, Our Walmart sells out such things (anything electronic) the second they are in stock. I had to pop in each this week just to land a chepie 19" tv because the day they come in they are gone by days end. Old stock like that was depleted last year by me. If they have them in your area that cheap, it might be a good idea to stock up on a few...if you plan on keeping your tapes around a while. Of course for less than $100 you could buy a dvd burner and move your tapes to DVDs. |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 08 at 14:34
in MS delta region. every store that sells electronics still sells VCRs. most don't have many in stock, but the big retailers always have a decent selection. |
- Posted by andrelaplume2 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 7, 08 at 9:02
you are lucky! |
Perhaps the repair person made adjustments that change the tension of the tape. Have you tried having the VCR fast-forward the tape all the way to the end, let it rewind to the beginning and then trying your test? Maybe the tape was wound tighter or looser than it currently operates, which could be causing the squeak. It's hard to tell if the squeak comes from your tapes or the VCR. 15 years old is certainly old for a VCR, but by no means is it from when they were first coming out. VCR's have been around since the late 70's / early 80's. If you don't want to buy one of the current "Made in China", cheap, plastic piles of poo, you should check out eBay for an older model. If you look at eBay, it's still not too late to switch to Beta! Some of the things on eBay are sold 'known broken', some are refurbished, most of them will be used, but you can potentially find one that's in great shape despite its age. And you could probably find one for cheap that has all kinds of bells and whistles. In fact, if you heavily use your machine and you plan to keep using it so much, you should check out a near pro-level machine. They're built to take such abuse, and you might find one with a timer and tuner. |

For moms like us, it's often a struggle to get kids to eat and to snack healthy. In my case, nothing can get my temper racing more quickly than leftover greens on my kids' plates. But rather than scold them into eating their fruits and vegetables, I find that being creative works much nicer.
One sneaky way I get my kids to eat their fruits and veggies is to serve smoothies. If you haven't tried smoothies, then I recommend that you try it- today! It may be just what you and your kids need.
For those of you who are smoothie fans like myself, you can probably relate to me when I say that the main drawback of serving smoothies, at least for me, is that I tend to stick to what works. I find myself serving the same recipe over and over. After a while, the kids get tired of the same old flavor, and the enthusiasm for this healthy drink dips lower and lower.
You and I both know that variety is key to making a healthy habit stick. So imagine my joy when I came across this book called "Sensational Smoothies: Drink Your Way To Health Deliciously". It's a collection of over 180 smoothie recipes that makes use of a wide range of ingredients – from the more traditional fruits, to vegetables, chocolates, and even coffee and liqueur for the grown ups. Say good-bye to boring smoothie recipes, indeed!
I've already tried a couple of recipes, and had my 4-year-old help me blend the ingredients together. It was a lot of fun. And the best part of course is seeing my kids drink up the entire glass of cold, creamy smoothies without complaint. Smoothie drinking is a habit I really want my family to pick up, so this book will come in handy in giving me enough variety to sustain our interest.
You must be thinking, smoothie recipes are a dime a dozen on the internet. That's true. But then, I don't want to experiment on myself and my kids and end up spending good money on recipes that don't really taste good (because the recipe writer did not bother to kitchen-test the recipes). This is probably the main thing that got me sold on the product – knowing that whichever recipe I choose, it will turn out into something that my family will enjoy.

A Covelo woman remains in custody after being arrested for domestic violence three times in 17 days. The latest arrest occurred on Oct. 14 when she was arrested after her boyfriend told deputies she hit him in the head with a beer bottle.
Demeter R. McFadin, 39, was arrested on suspicion of domestic assault inflicting corporal injury and assault with a deadly weapon. She remains in Mendocino County Jail.
Mendocino County sheriff's deputies were called on Oct. 14 to a Henderson Lane residence McFadin shared with her 48 year old cohabitant, to investigate a case of domestic violence. As deputies approached they spotted McFadin attempting to leave on foot and detained her pending an investigation.
When deputies questioned the cohabitant, they noted he had a 3 inch lump on the back of his head. The victim told deputies McFadin hit him with a beer bottle. He told deputies they were not arguing at the time and he had no idea what had angered her enough to hit him in the head. He said McFadin also hit him with a garden hose and threw a rock at a female witness. The victim refused further medical attention.
McFadin was booked on domestic assault on Oct. 3 and Sept. 27.
In the Sept. 27 incident she was suspected of striking her boyfriend in the back with a board. At the time of this incident the victim told deputies he and McFadin were arguing when she hit him with the board.

we are building a new house and the tile and hardwood flooring people are ok with not putting anything between the hardwood and the subfloor or the tile and the subfloor (except in showers). this seems odd to me. shouldn't there be something else in between? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You don;t say what the subfloor is but National Wood Flooring Association guidelines, used by all mfg's, state you must have a vapor retarder between the subfloor and hardwood. See complete guidelines at my website. www.decker-consulting-inspections.vpweb.com |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 13:28
Yes, there should. For hardwood, we used tar paper underlayment. For tile floors you need cement board or (my preference) Ditra. These serve as a substrate to keep any movement of the wood subfloor (which will expand/contract with temperature) from transferring to the tile and cracking it. The only exception to this would be if they're doing a full mud bed, but that's pretty rare anymore. |

HeronRayborn 9/25/2008 11:08 |
i would like you all to keep in your hearts and thoughts for me, my husband, who is struggling with a depression over not being able to see his kids as often as he'd like. though we have one, and another on the way, together, and he gets to spend time with them on a regular basis, he really misses the two he has with his "ex", who for some reason is holding them back from him. pray that she makes some kind of step toward taking responsibility for herself and her kids, also. she is very self-centered, and doesn't understand that she is hurting him and her kids through her actions. she's still young and wants to live her life her way, which doesn't leave much time for the rest of the people in her life that depend on her and care for her. pray for her guidance also. and, there is another side to this, as well, my husband had a daughter with his highschool sweetheart, and she is turning 13 this year. he had his rights taken away from him in a bad custody battle when he was 18-19 yrs old, his daughter was 2 yrs old. he hasn't seen her since, and rarely even gets a picture of her. things have changed a lot for him in his life, he is even a much different person now from when i first met him. he thinks about his daughter every day, and really wants to meet her and see her, but this is a hard situation for him. he doesn't want to cause trouble for her family in order to see his daughter. so pray that God will work this out for him and for us, and reunite all the missing pieces of our family back together, for the kids, so that all the kids can know each other and grow up together as they ought to be able to. i would really like to see his two children that i know be into a better situation where they are in a more stable and loving environment, and i would like to meet and spend time with his oldest daughter and introduce her to her youngest brother, and the new baby to come. |

Next Generation Sequencing and Cancer Diagnostics: Part II
11 Monday Jun 2012
Written by Jeremy P. Segal in Events
Jeremy P. Segal, MD, PhD, is the Director of Clinical Development and Policy at NYGC.
Part I of this blog post can be read here.
Of all the many topics under discussion at the NCI Clinical NGS for Cancer conference, perhaps the most contentious was the issue of which tests should be performed and how they should be reported. In this instance, the great advantage of the new technology—inexpensive and high-volume sequence data—is also in some ways its Achilles heel.
The problem is that the new systems produce such a large volume of sequence data that they necessitate the application of a different testing paradigm. For example, if a lab were test a patient's cancer sample for a small handful of individual cancer mutations in the traditional fashion using an advanced NGS platform, the test may occupy just one millionth of the capacity of the instrument. Finding a million samples to run is simply not feasible. So, labs are faced with options: either use smaller machines, or expand the amount of sequence information gathered from each sample.
Today, any lab currently performing clinical cancer testing on NGS machines is examining at least a sizeable panel of genes, and as described above, even a limited panel produces data on more than the small number of genes for which there are validated effective targeted drugs. Though so much data can be generated for little cost, the question remains: what to do with the data? In the end, clinicians will want only data that they can use to make patient care decisions, a class of data that attendees at the meeting termed "actionable."
Beyond the genes for which we have known targeted compounds shown to be effective in clinical trials, an argument could be made that any number of other genes could be actionable if there exist clinical trials offering experimental compounds to cancer patients with mutations in those genes. Even if no clear treatment could be selected based on the results, the physician could at least intelligently recommend an appropriate trial that might benefit the patient. Others might go further and argue that any gene could be actionable so long as a clinician could make a reasonable medical judgment that a discovered mutation could provide a rationale for treatment with a known compound, even one approved for a different purpose.
Obviously, this last argument raises significant ethical questions related to treating patients based on minimal evidence. Those in favor of this approach at the meeting countered with the fact that medicine is often an art and that many treatment decisions are based on physician instinct. Additionally, when dealing with cancer patients whose diseases have progressed despite multiple attempts at therapy and whose prognoses are dismal, perhaps an educated guess based on genome sequencing is a morally acceptable approach. Counter-arguments were also made. For example, if terminal patients are treated in a piecemeal fashion with a best-guess approach, how does the research and clinical community evaluate that process to determine if it has been successful?
In the end, it was decided that a group should be convened to compile and tend a list of actionable targets, but there was no clear consensus on where the line should be drawn regarding what makes a truly actionable target. It's a challenging issue and a moving target, one made all the more complex by the prospect of compensation either by insurance companies or patients, neither of whom enjoys paying for services that don't have easily-defined value. Additionally, regulatory issues come into play, because as a lab begins to cast a wider net beyond the most thoroughly validated targets, the line begins to blur between clear clinical diagnostics and research, which have very different oversight and standards.
Many attendees' opinions on this topic came down to a matter of personal philosophy regarding the ultimate role of physicians, researchers, and diagnostics in the treatment of cancer. For everyone, the ultimate goal was the same: personalized, in-depth, genomics-based analysis as a means to provide the best possible treatment strategy for each patient. This is the inevitable and promising future of cancer therapy, and now that we have the technology needed to make it a reality, it is just a question of figuring out how to get there.
Fortunately, widespread adoption of next-generation sequencing for personalized assessments of cancer genomes seems likely in the future, and it will undoubtedly accelerate as additional research-validated targets emerge and as sequencing costs continue their rapid decline.

Safety precautions for nuclear waste
Name: Donna Mozell Status: Other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
What safety precautions do people have to use when handling nuclear waste?
It depends on the type of nuclear waste that is being handled. Some radioactive materials emit a radiation capable of penetrating the body (e.g. x-rays, gamma rays, and strong beta rays) whereas others emit energy that is not able to penetrate the skin (e.g. alpha and weak beta emitters). The waste handler must be adequately shielded from the strong penetrating types of radiation. The person must also guard against ingestion, inhalation and absorption through the skin. I would not be surprised if radiation workers are safer than people who work with "regular" garbage because both waste and the precautions taken are safer in radiation work

Advanced Network & Services, Inc. (ANS) was formed in September of 1990 as a nonprofit corporation dedicated to advancing education by accelerating the use of computer networking applications and technology.
From 1990 to 1995 it helped to build the backbone of the Internet, and in 1995 ANS sold its assets and operations to AOL. In 1996 and beyond ANS became a philanthropic organization creating ThinkQuest, The National Tele-Immersion Initiative and funded many other educational programs.
Since 1996, ANS has chosen to fund programs in other organizations that meet our criteria and further our goals rather than directly manage and staff our own programs. We expect that ANS will stop operating during 2008 and be formally closed down by the end of 2008.

Loch, Birgit and Reushle, Shirley (2008) The practice of web conferencing: where are we now? In: ASCILITE 2008: 25th Annual Conference of the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education: Hello! Where Are You in the Landscape of Educational Technology?, 30 Nov - 03 Dec 2008, Melbourne, Australia.

[Abstract]: The use of web conferencing tools to support learning and teaching and facilitate interaction and collaboration is common in many higher education environments as is the replacement of face-to-face meetings with virtual collaboration tools. This paper reports on Phase 3 of a trial of web conferencing conducted at a regional Australian university and further explores the use of web conferencing to support and enhance learning and teaching. Preliminary findings from Phases 1 and 2 of the trial have been reported on in a previous paper. The action research method which framed the initial trial has again been applied to Phase 3. In Phase 1, collaborative mathematical problem-solving in an undergraduate course was carried out using web conferencing and tablet PCs. In addition, students in postgraduate Education courses were linked across the globe to participate in interactive and collaborative web conference activity. In Phase 2, a university-wide trial across disciplines was conducted. Phase 3 represents an analysis of feedback received from teachers who were involved in Phases 1 and 2 and who have had some time to reflect on the impact web conferencing has had on their teaching practice. From this, and their own experience, the authors make further observations regarding the use of web conferencing to support learning and teaching and raise a number of questions and issues to guide future research.
