I have been wearing this perfume for 8 years now. My French boyfriend originally gave it to me as a birthday present, and I have been wearing it ever since. Men LOVE it. It's too heavy for me for every-day wear, but I spritz one one or two sprays before going out on weekends and I always get compliments on how I smell. I'll wear this forever!

Disliked everything about it, cloying, cheap smelling for the price. Had a sample, would not buy a full sized. Dislike the headless horseman bottle too.

I simply LOVE this fragrance. It's strong, vibrant, and very sexy. It's so powdery and so sweet. I think it's very over the top in every way and that's exactly what I love about it. It makes me think of very luxurious things. But old luxury, if that makes sense. Not a brand new sportscar, but an oldtimer. Not a villa in Hollywood, but a mansion on the English countryside.
It actually reminds me of very old, very good whiskey. It has that same boozy velvety texture.
To me it smells like make-up, whiskey, vanilla, and a lot of spicy florals. I absolutely love the ginger and the anise (I'm a HUGE fan of anise notes) blending beautifully with the ylang ylang and the orange blossom. My friend said it reminded her of old fashioned sweets, and I totally get that.
Though I really love this fragrance, I can not wear it every day (well, it wasn't made to be worn all day either). It's just too much over the top. I can only wear it when I'm dressed up for a chique occasion. When everything else is perfect, Classique is the icing on the cake.
I must say I prefer this to the EDP. The EDP is softer, gentler, more mature. Like the more grown up sister of the sparkly EDT. There character is in essence alike, but they are very different.
I do not really get the fuss around the bottle. I quite like it. It's a mannequin, that's all. It adds to the luxurious feel of this fragrance. And the corset is very... I would not say funny, but I can not really find another word to describe it in English. The corset makes me smile. In a good way.

This a heavier fragrances than I'm used to, but it's not overpowering or too "mature." It's a nice, nighttime scent, and I like the cute little bottle it comes in. The scent is powdery with a light floral musk (I scent rose), slight vanilla, spicy, warm and sweet. It lasts quite awhile without being obnoxious.

been wearing this for about 10-12 years i just love it!
First off who ever designed the bottle A+, gold star you get a cookie!! so sexy and fun.
This is pricey but its so strong you just need the smallest amount, therefore a bottle will last me almost a year great bang for the buck if you ask me.
I get asked all the time what am I wearing how good I smell :) it lasts all freakin day what's that saying you get what you pay for....
undersents on this for me are vanilla, rose and sandalwood, its sweet yet musk.
You've got to give this a try (not for those who enjoy "delicate" sents)

I dislike the smell when I first sprayed it - it smells like soap. However, I EXTREMELY love the dry down. It really smells good. I would repurchase it just because I love the smell after a couple of hours. Even though it smells like soap initially, it doesn't have that old lady smell (such as Chanel no 5).

This is one of my favourite fragrances. It's a beautiful, boldly feminine Oriental Floral fragrance that's perfect for special occassions, although I wear it whenever I'm in a "sophisticated" mood. I love the bottle, love it's staying power and love the fragrance.

Intriguing, full-on sexy smell. This fragrance is certainly a weapon in my arsenal!! Amber and sandalwood make this one overtly sensual and down dirty. Long lasting too. EDT and EDP are too different animals. While I own the EDP, I do prefer the EDT. Only purchased the EDP because it seems to last longer. The bottle is so ingenious. Looks great on my boudoir dresser. A lusty, busty woman figure, just like me!!

Is it possible to use all peat moss for WS? It's all I have right now so thought I'd ask. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, bad idea. Straight peat will become hydrophobic if allowed to dry out, you almost have to use hot water and stir or knead it in to rewet it - which you can't do of course with seeds sown on top. You'll be happier and so will your seedlings if you wait until you can pick up some potting mix/potting soil. |
OK will do. Thanks |

ProMix is peat mixed with perlite. I could be wrong but I think most all seed-starting mixes are mostly peat moss. Potting soil is used once seedlings are up and growing. Once the seedlings use up the nutrition in the seed, they need something like compost which will be found in potting mixes. A compressed bale of peat moss is very inexpensive. All you need to do is mix it with a bag of perlite or vermiculite (to lighten it up) and you have the equivalent of ProMix if it isn't available in your area. Personally, I buy the compressed bales of ProMix because I find it easier than doing the mixing thing. Once I am ready to transplant my seedlings, I add compost from my working compost pile to the ProMix and I have 'potting soil'. |
To make your own peat based potting mix in addition to perlite or vermiculite, you would also normally need to use some lime since peat moss is acidic. Commercial mixes also often include a starter fertilizer and a wetting agent that makes it easier to get the peat moss wet. If I recall dish soap has a similar effect for wetting? There are some recipes over on the container forum. I buy potting mix for wintersowing for convenience, but make my own mix for container planting. It is the 5-1-1 mix (from container forum) and much cheaper and better performing than regular potting mix. |
Can't get the ProMix here, but the online label shows Canadian Sphagnum peat moss (65-75 % / volume) Perlite horticultural grade Dolomitic and Calcitic limestone (pH adjuster) + The ingredient that helps to solve the water repelling tendency of peat = a Wetting Agent And some of the product line, not sure if all, Mycorrhizae fungi I don't mix my own, but one of our local Mom/Pop garden centers does mix and bag potting soil for us, using the Cornell 'Peat Lite' recipe and tweaking it a little for this mild wet climate. I'm working towards more in the ground and covered by sprinkling system (system that still needs an overhaul), and less in containers dependent on me, so am using less potting 'soils' these days ;) |
If you buy dry peat and use it wear a dust and particle mask while doing so. And gloves. |

In the last decade of my life - never used a dust mask -- good idea not to inhale it though. |

I was wondering if someone has tried to figure out what an approximate USD to Thrones exchange rate would be?
I'm leaning on around 20-25 USD/ Throne…
Anyone else have any thoughts?

One GM of mine said 10 USD to one throne, based on guns and food and such
Posted 30 July 2012 - 08:30 PM
Based on the costs for guns and ammo, it's at least $5 USD to one Throne. Ten dollars to the Throne might be a bit steep, though.
Posted 31 July 2012 - 01:18 AM
I honestly don't even want to think about that… I know I'll start figuring up prices and it will make me sad when I see how messed up some of them are…
Posted 31 July 2012 - 07:18 AM
Well, some things may be cheaper 40.000 years into the future than today, with war all over. (Guns & ammo probably)
And something may be more expensive… (Like Shampoo)
Posted 02 August 2012 - 09:00 AM
When I have to 'guestimate' prices for new stuff, I mostly use $10 = 1 Throne as the starting point. Prices from the Rulebook are all over the place, though. A standard-quality chrono (i.e. a wristwatch) seems absurdly expensive compard to other standard goods. And food prices are insane- what is it, 4 Thrones for a cup (!) of recaff (coffee)? How could an average Imperial citizen survive if they had to pay these prices? I had to invent a Half-Throne denomination just so my players could buy cheap drinks for people they are trying to get information from. If FFG ever comes out with a 1.5 or 2nd Ed of DH, I hope that they tweak the prices a bit…

At 10$/Throne, a level 8 adept woould have a measly 1800$ a month to spend, if I'm reading the income rules in DH correctly.
And a level 8 noble (whatever that is), woiuld have 9000$ a month - not much at all.
A backpack is 10 thrones (or 100$).
A chrono is 40 thrones (or 400$).
However, both backpacks and chronos can cost a lot more (although the prices are for common quality versions).
Maybe the main problem is the low income, however even a plama pistol at 4000 thrones (ie 40.000$) isn't more expensive than a car today at that exchange rate…
At 25$/Throne the lvl 8 adept would be at 4500 $/month - a more resonable value.
Backpack at 250$ (plausible, but a bit expensive)
Chrono at 1000$ (plausible, for a nice one).
Plasma pistol a 100.000$.
Still nobles should earn more in my opinion.
Posted 03 August 2012 - 10:01 AM
At 10$/Throne, a level 8 adept woould have a measly 1800$ a month to spend, if I'm reading the income rules in DH correctly.
This is over $10 an hour for a 40 hour work week. Not an uncommon wage.
And a level 8 noble (whatever that is), woiuld have 9000$ a month - not much at all.
$9,000 a month is $108,000 a year. Obviously, a hundred thousand a year is barely a survivable wage.
A backpack is 10 thrones (or 100$).
$100 is what you will pay for a rugged backpack that will last for years.
A chrono is 40 thrones (or 400$).
$400 is about what a nice watch costs. Better quality ones cost much more.
Posted 04 August 2012 - 03:35 AM
But would a "noble" equivalent today be happy with 108.000$/year? Assuming we live in the civilized part of the world now - you are ok off with such an income.
But you are not filthy rich by any strech of the imagination. In my opinion you probably need to earn more than 10.000.000$ / year in order to be "filthy rich". (Which I think nobles should be).

Both of you are not reading the income rules correctly. The income presented on page 124 is not the typical income of one working in that career.
"All Acolytes gain a monthly income while in the employ of an Inquisitor. This represents money they generate in their spare time doing other (sometimes shady) jobs, investments or trusts they might have or even a stipend from their illustrious employer. In game terms, however, a character always receives their income without having to specifically do anything."
Basically, that isn't what they get paid when they are actually doing their salaried jobs. It is what they get paid when they aren't really doing anything in particular. An acolyte is, officially, unemployed. The Inquisition covers their basic needs but apart from that gives them little, if anything, in wages.
The Adept, under normal conditions, would have a real job in an office of some sort. A Noble also, though their jobs are much more high-paid due to their station. The Noble's 500+50*(R-1) Throne Gelt represents what a Noble might earn when not actually doing anything at all - which makes the number seem considerably more impressive.
Posted 04 August 2012 - 12:24 PM
Exactly, but as the Inquisition provides Room & Board and sometimes some basic gear, it becomes more "spending money"

Cymbel said:

Fair enough, then we can look away from the income rules in order to find an exchange rate - as we then can assume that full-time employees does earn a lot more than what the Inquisition pays out as pocket-money.
But at 10$/Throne a super-rare plasma pistol is only 40.000$. About the same as a car. And everyone has a car, some have more than one. It is an expensive item, but it isn't as expensive as prohibiting normal people from owning one (or more). And rich people could have as many as they wanted.
Posted 04 August 2012 - 10:56 PM
I always assumed that the imperium being a feudalish kind of society meant that many people would be getting some sort of bed and board as part of their masters obligations.Meaning that the common citizen/serf/peasant wouldn't be getting their hands on many if any thrones.Hence the expense of accommodation and extra food.Just my tuppence on the subject
Posted 05 August 2012 - 12:03 AM
That would seem to fit, most folks in this universe are on that level of earning power.
On the cost of the Plasma Gun, what is wrong with 40k? (Hurr) It is absurdly expensive still, especially when THE finest SP pistols only run to a couple hundred thrones (a couple thousand USD). The real problem for folks getting them is the RARITY, even if you have the cash you can't necessarily buy it, see the Nomad for example, in the entire sector, about 10 are made each year. There may be some used ones floating around on the market here and there, but a new one is extremely hard to get. But anyways, of course the exchange rate isn't perfect around the super fancy rare and stuff that doesnt exist in either setting. But does the common gear match up?

There are about a hundred million motor vehicles on Earth — among seven billion people. That is less than 2% of the world's population owning a car - and if you take into account that the commercial vehicles, buses, and rental cars which aren't owned by any particular individual as well as the fact that some people own more than one, you get less than 1%. That's right, if you can afford to drive you must hand in your Occupy badges because you are no longer part of the 99%.
Furthermore, $40000 is vastly more than what the typical driver pays for his car. That's the price of a 2012 Lincoln MKS, 2012 Audi A6, or 2012 BMW 3, and I assure you that most people are not driving freshly-minted BMWs, Audis, or Lincolns. The average price of a new car in the States is $30,303 (by cars sold, not cars listed), and that's unusually high — five thousand higher than in Canada, for example, and certainly higher than in the rest of the world save for some places in Europe. Furthermore, many drivers do not buy a new car at all, purchasing a used one instead. Basically, if you can afford a $40000 car you aren't just the one percent, you are an unusually wealthy one. The one percent of the one percent, if you will.
Comparing the purchase of a car to the purchase of a gun is rather incongruous. A car is typically the second-most expensive item a person owns, after their house. $40000 guns do exist, however, those guns are that price not because of their utility as a firearm but because of their value as a collectible — they're conversation pieces, historic artefacts, or works of art. When it comes to buying guns to actually use, the most expensive ones hover around ten thousand, and that's not a pistol but a brand-new brand-name 50-cal sniper rifle, and even then one of the more expensive ones. To most people, buying such a weapon would be unthinkable — they buy ones that cost a few hundred instead, if they own a gun at all. A weapon four times as expensive as some of the most expensive personal firearms in the real world is a staggering, and it is no surprise the plasma gun is so unusual among ordinary servants of the Emperor.
Additionally, there's also the fact that the plasma pistol you are referring to is the worst of its class — a generic knockoff from no Forge World of note. We do not know how much a Ryza or Mezoa plasma weapon costs in Thrones as they're listed only in Rogue Trader and Ascention, but that alone suggests they are as arbitrarily expensive as you might imagine plasma pistols should be.
In conclusion, your premise is flawed. Ordinary people are not as rich as you think they are, ordinary 40k citizens are even poorer than that, and the price of a plasma pistol in Dark Heresy suggests that $10 to 1? is actually too high rather than the reverse.
Posted 05 August 2012 - 04:30 AM
I have no idea why the quote format did not work.
Posted 05 August 2012 - 06:39 AM
The average wealth of an emperial citizen is indeed interesting.
How poor / rich are different worlds, and how is the wealth distributed - and does it compare to any nations on earth today?
I assume that the wealth is very unevenly distributed in 40K, and that most people don't have much to spend. Hence there income is low - but also that their cost of living is likevise. (In large parts of todays world people survive on 2$/day, but that is because things in these countries doesn't cost much either).
If we have 10$/Throne, a 2$/day would give 6 thrones a month for really poor people (which would be a lot of people). The inquistion gives "pocket money" of 20 thrones a month to "lvl1 scum", indicating that either…
a) The Inquistion pays good money
b) The 10$/Throne is a bit low
c) The average slummer in 40K, is a bit better of than in todays world (living for 6.67$/day).
However, the 1% community should earn at least 100.000 thrones/month and easily far beyond that. Still there will be billions of those rich people in the imperium.

I'm excited to share this guest post, a photo essay by Elise Bernardoni. Elise and I met and became friends in Cannes twelve years ago, where we were lucky to live for a while. We spent afternoons on the beach across the street from our dorm, consumed obscene amounts of wine and cheese, and interned at the international film festival. Somehow, in between all these things, we went to school.
I thank her for compiling these colorful street shots for us.
* * * * *
Cheri and I share a love of street art. Although I only see her once every few years, I feel her closeness when finding and snapping a picture of a beautiful mural or a secret stencil. I recently visited Hong Kong, a gorgeous city of contrast and harmony, where street art abounds. Cheri asked me to share what I found with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Built into the side of a lush, mountainous rainforest, and one of the most densely populated areas in the world, Hong Kong bursts with vibrant street life. Nearly every neighborhood has an open air market which sells anything you can imagine from produce, to herbal medicines, to discount underwear. Shop fronts open fully onto the street, garage door-style. Outdoor restaurants, bar patios, and mall arcades are popular gathering places. When the weather is nice (before the oppressive summer heat turns the whole city into a sauna), Hong Kong is best enjoyed by foot. So I walked. And as I walked, I discovered a city full of street art—slightly deviant, always creative—expressing the exuberance of a young and modern city.
I love the use of color and layering in this piece. The green and yellow popped off the wall in a small side alley in the Mid-Level district.
Three languages are spoken in Hong Kong: native Cantonese, mainland Mandarin, and English. I was surprised to find so much art in English, and wished to know what the rare Chinese characters meant.
A multi-artist mural stretches several blocks in a walkway connecting the train terminal to the escalator network in the Central district.
A whimsical mural at the Aberdeen Harbor.
A glorious sign for a construction worker-only fast food noodle joint. I knew I was going to fall in love with Hong Kong the moment I saw this. Mid-level district.
American pop culture heavily influenced many of the pieces I came across. Lamma Island.
It wasn't surprising to see Shepard Fairey's influence in this political statement. Central district.
It was surprising, and genuinely funny, to see Dr. House on Lamma Island, a small expat haven/fishing village. Sources—okay, my brother—tell me that until very recently the text read "It's not SARS". Hong Kong is still obsessed with routine sanitation and sterilization 10 years after the SARS outbreak.
This was my favorite stencil. I love the vulnerability and tenderness. Lamma Island.
Everything about this is perfect: textures, colors, statement. [Instagram—Lo-fi]
An entertaining and slightly disturbing collage on a busy street. Central district.
For the record, I did not see any Hong Kong police eating babies, but I like the commentary of this piece.
One of the few paper-on-wall pieces that I found.
Owls are a common motif in Hong Kong. This surprise mural on Lamma Island was delightful. [Instagram—Hefe]

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion. Greetings! | 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. |
2 Consider [it] all joy, my brothers, whenever you encounter various trials, | 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, |
3 [because you] know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. | 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. |
4 And let endurance have [its] perfect effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. | 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. |
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask for [it] from God, who gives to all without reservation and not reproaching, and it will be given to him. | 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. |
6 But let him ask for [it] in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about. | 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. |
7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; | 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; |
8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. | 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. |
9 Now let the brother of humble circumstances boast in his high position, | 9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. |
10 but the rich person in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of the grass. | 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. |
11 For the sun rises with its burning heat and dries up the grass, and its flower falls off, and the beauty of its appearance is lost. So also the rich person in his pursuits will wither away. | 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. |
12 Blessed [is] the person who endures testing, because [when he] is approved he will receive the crown of life that he has promised to those who love him. | 12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. |
13 No one who is being tempted should say, "I am being tempted by God," for God {cannot be tempted} by evil, and he himself tempts no one. | 13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; |
14 But each one is tempted [when he] is dragged away and enticed by his own desires. | 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. |
15 Then desire, [after it] has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, [when it] is brought to completion, gives birth to death. | 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. |
16 Do not be deceived, my dear brothers. | 16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. |
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change. | 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. |
18 [By his] will he gave birth to us through the message of truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. | 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. |
19 Understand [this], my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, | 19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, |
20 for human anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God. | 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. |
21 Therefore, putting aside all moral uncleanness and wicked excess, welcome with humility the implanted message which is able to save your souls. | 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. |
22 But be doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, | 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. |
23 because if anyone is a hearer of the message and not a doer, this one is like someone staring at {his own face} in a mirror, | 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror |
24 for he looks at himself and goes away and immediately forgets what sort of [person] he was. | 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. |
25 But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues [to do it], not being a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts, this one will be blessed {in what he does}. | 25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. |
26 If anyone thinks he is religious, [although he] does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion [is] worthless. | 26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. |
27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep oneself unstained by the world. | 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. |

Whats your biggest pet peeve working in the ED?
2Oct 8, '12 by Whts_Ur_Emergency?Id have to say my biggest pet peeve is when someone hands you a medicaid card as they pull it from their Louis Vuitton handbag with bling on their hands after having rolled up to the ER in their Mercedes Benz! After that I'd say when someone comes to the ER for a UPT. Dont they know they are available at the dollar store now adays?DeLanaHarvickWannabe and PRICHARILLAisMISSED like this.
9Oct 8, '12 by JessiekRNYesterday my patient asked me if I could "just give her a couple amoxillin pills, I don't have money for the prescription". Meanwhile both she and both the middle school aged children she brought with her were all texting away on iPhones, and her Coach bag sat right next to her. I had to bite my tongue, hard. Also, yesterday, as I was trying to discharge my patient who came in for a nosebleed- and was explaining to her the meaning of EVERY SINGLE ONE of her lab values- which were, mind you, more perfect than mine would have been- she asked me to call the dr back in the room because she forgot to mention something to him. What was that important piece of info? Oh- that she was beginning to notice that her hair was beginning to fall out. I did not, surprisingly, fetch the dr for her. This woman was close to 300 pounds and I could not help thinking, if you are that concerned about your health perhaps we could start with weight management. I love the ED but sometimes it leaves me speechless!!
1Oct 8, '12 by rammsteinToday my patient thought he had been waiting long enough for his xray after we brought him back to the waiting area (less than ten minutes) so he got out of his wheelchair - TWICE - and started wandering around trying to find the XR lab. We spent more time looking for him than it should have taken start to finish from the time we sat him to the time he left!Peninah7 likes this.
13Oct 8, '12 by DixieleeMy current pet peeve is people texting or talking on cell phones while I am trying to triage them! I have had people answer their phone while I am trying to get their history. Not just answer but hold conversations! I had a MVC come in EMS last week that took call after call on his phone and I couldn't even get his vital signs. I told him to ring the bell when it was convenient for him to be evaluated! He nodded OK. I made a note to that effect saying I was unable to evaluate pt at this time. Ergggg
I was walking a patient out to discharge recently and he was so engrossed in texting as we were walking down the hall, he ran right into a wall. I almost lost it laughing! Oh well, you can't fix stupid! -
18Oct 9, '12 by nurseladykI literally want yell at people when I ask them to rate their pain 0-10 and the tell me 12, 20, 50, whatever....I said 0-10, 10 is the worst people!!!! Not that big of a deal, but it drives me nuts!
2Oct 9, '12 by PoochiewoochieQuote from sserrnAren't you supposed to chart what the patient says? If they say 10 that's what you're supposed to put down, not "eyeroll" and put down what you think it is.^^I just chart 10 when they do that. And also, when I'm assessing a medication's effectiveness, "did the medicine help you?" "Yes, a little." "What would you rate your pain now, 0-10?" "10." *Eye roll, chart 9/10.IHeartNursing321 and Pets to People like this.
10Oct 9, '12 by ERnurse1983OntarioOne of many pet peeves: patients who come to the ER presenting with abdo pain/ chest pain going on for almost a week and finally come to the ER and complain how long they have to wait to be assessed by a doctor. You've "waited" almost a week to come seek treatment, a few more hours wont kill you. Oh and your troponins/CK are negative. Oh and eating that slice of pizza while you say you've been having abdo pain probably is not going to help, especially if you need surgery...there is thing called aspiration...so maybe wait to eat till you're labs are back and the doc assesses you, here are some ice chips.
3Oct 10, '12 by Runner1989They always want to tell me their life story in triage! It's like, that's great but I need to know about today why you are here..unless it pertains to today.

Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty (for non-RNs) MSN 2013 - page 5
Hi All, There doesn't seem to be a thread yet for pre-specialty Vandy applicants (the thread going now seems to consist mostly of grad entry), so I thought I'd start one! Any other pre-specialty... Read More
0Jan 14, '13 by ash8788Hi everyone! I'm also applying for PMHNP. I have a BS in psych and I graduated with a 3.78 and then I think my prereqs are right around a 3.85. As far as the GREs go, I got a 156 on quant, 160 on verbal and a 5 on writing. I have 4 years of clinical psychiatric research experience but only one summer of direct care experience from 6 years ago. No volunteer experience though. It looks like a lot of us are roughly in the same boat!!
0Jan 15, '13 by sarahdukieI just received an email from another coordinator in admissions who said that all PMH applicants get interviews, contradicting what I was told by phone. Anyone know the truth?!
0Jan 15, '13 by ash8788I just sent an email to the PMHNP program director with a question about the program and included a question about the interviews. I have a feeling she might know better than the admissions people since once the apps come in, it seems like admissions hands the apps out to their respective programs and that's the end of that. They just might honestly just not know. I'll let you know if/when I hear back!
0Jan 15, '13 by sarahdukieI spoke with admissions again and they said it IS true all PMHNP candidates get an interview either by phone or in person. Hurrah!
Now that we've stressed together, I'd love to hear what y'all are hoping to do with your degrees! Anything to distract us as we wait, right? I am hoping to work in a school-based clinic at a middle school or high school, to volunteer regularly with Doctors Without Borders in Latin America, and eventually to teach.

Wisconsin Broadcasters Offers Broadcast Engineering Grants
Madison, WI - Oct 15, 2008 - Recognizing a need in broadcasting, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association (WBA) and the WBA Foundation have launched a program to encourage people to seek technical careers in broadcasting. The programs are designed to develop such talent throughout Wisconsin by initiating Engineering Internships at stations.
This program will connect future engineers to Wisconsin broadcasters by funding a summer engineering intern position. Initially, up to 10 grants at $2,500 for a two-month internship will be awarded to cover internship stipend and expenses. Internships are to run from June 15 to Aug. 15, 2009.
To participate, stations must apply to the WBA and agree that the intern will be assigned exclusively to the engineering/technical services department. A checklist of basic skills to be taught to the intern will be determined by the station and presented to the WBA to aid in selection of candidates. The WBA Foundation Board will assess applications and match selected stations with potential intern candidates As part of the WBA's Assistance Action Plan for EEO compliance, this program may be used as EEO credit, as a non-vacancy specific outreach initiative.
The WBA has also launched a program to promote ongoing education for those currently employed in broadcast engineering. The WBA and the WBA Foundation will offer engineering fellowship grants to provide a stipend for senior broadcast engineers serving Wisconsin member stations. Broadcast engineers will apply directly to the WBA.
The WBA Foundation will award five $1,000 grants statewide. These grants are to be used for continuing engineering education such as courses in information technology/networking, engineering leadership/management, electrical engineering/transmission courses, or other new technology training. The grants are not to be used for trade shows but for enrollment in continuing education courses, post-secondary education courses or factory training on broadcast equipment. Travel expenses may be covered by grant monies.
Information on these initiatives is available through the WBA website at www.wi-broadcasters.org or by contacting Linda Baun at 800-236-1922 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
FCC's Martin Favors Unlicensed White Space Device with Some Conditions
Washington, DC - Oct 16, 2008 - FCC Chairman Kevin Martin will support allowing unlicensed white space devices (WSDs) that meet certain criteria into spectrum used for TV and wireless mic transmission when the commission takes up the matter next month. Speaking at a press conference on Oct. 15, Martin said he favored allowing the devices to operate of up to 100mW of power on certain white spaces in the TV spectrum and 40mW of power on channels adjacent to DTV channels. The devices must also include spectrum sensing and support for geo-location by accessing a databases of spectrum use the device can select frequencies that do not pose an interference threat, Martin said.
The chairman's proposal to allow unlicensed WSDs to transmit at 40mW of power on first-adjacent channels "will eviscerate over-the-air digital television viewing throughout large segments of the United States," according to Association for Maximum Service Television President David Donovan. In a written statement released following Martin's announcement, Donovan said allowing first adjacent channel WSD operation at this power level will hit viewers living in urban apartments and townhomes particularly hard.
Martin's announcement came on the same day the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology released a report detailing its findings from the latest round of prototype white space device testing.
According to the report, the latest test show moderate to strong DTV signals in adjacent channels "severely impacted" the threshold at which tested prototypes could detect signals and have the potential to impact how well they can "reliably detect TV signals within station's service areas."
Despite the red flag, the report's authors said they believe that the burden of "proof of concept" has been met. "We are satisfied that spectrum sensing in combination with geo-location and database access techniques can be used to authorize equipment today under appropriate technical standards and that issues regarding future development and approval of any additional devices, including devices relying on sensing alone, can be addressed."
The report, "Evaluation of the Performance of Prototype TV-Band White Space Devices," details OET lab and field testing of prototype devices submitted for testing by Adaptrum, The Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Microsoft, Motorola and Philips Electronics North America.
The tests also reveal that the prototype white-space devices fared no better in detecting wireless mics in use when in the presence of DTV signals in adjacent channels, the report said. In such instances tested, "the detection threshold was degraded such that it affected the ability of devices to reliably detect the microphone signals," the report said.
In his statement, Donovan said interference to licensed wireless microphones from unlicensed WSDs "will endanger live local newscasts as well as sports coverage."
The NAB also disagrees that the test data supports the conclusion that the prototype WSDs have met the burden of proof that sensing is a viable option. The NAB states that the data shows conclusively that sensing is unreliable. The NAB also notes that the FCC has released the report without asking for formal comment. The NAB and MSTV have filed an emergency request with the Commission asking that the report be placed on public comment and the FCC fully consider those comments before adopting any final rules.

NPR Plans Captioned Radio Coverage of Presidential Election
Washington, DC - Oct 21, 2008 - On election night, deaf and hard-of-hearing people will be able to experience live radio coverage when NPR, Harris and Towson University simulcast the first-ever live, captioned radio broadcast. NPR News' election night coverage will be simulcast in the new captioned radio format, providing accessible news and journalism to deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. Captioning for the broadcast is being provided by WGBH's Media Access Group.
The broadcast will be coordinated by NPR, Harris and Towson University as part of an initiative to make radio more accessible to the millions of consumers with sensory disabilities around the world. Nearly seven million people in the United States are either deaf or hard-of-hearing, and more than 28 million Americans report having trouble with their hearing, according to Gallaudet University.
The election broadcast will be shown at private demonstrations at NPR's international headquarters in Washington, DC, and three NPR Member stations around the United States: WTMD Baltimore, WGBH Boston and KCFR Denver. WGBH Boston will act as a technical resource for monitoring and caption production. WAMU in DC will serve as the transmitting station. The election broadcast also will be carried simultaneously on the Internet at NPR.org. A link to the broadcast also will be available at harris.com.
The broadcast will leverage HD Radio technology to enable deaf people to experience NPR's election coverage through viewing live radio content on specially equipped receivers. WGBH's stenocaptioners will monitor NPR's live coverage and feed instantaneous speech-to-text transcriptions to the participating NPR stations and an NPR website that will stream the caption text. WGBH will also provide live captioning for numerous local and national TV broadcasters on election night.
The election broadcast is the latest event coordinated by the International Center for Accessible Radio Technology (ICART), which is headquartered at Towson University in Towson, MD. Founding members also include NPR and Harris. Towson houses the primary administrative and academic research office for the initiative, NPR Labs in Washington, DC, provides the technology R&D and software development, and Harris supplies the transmission and research support at its radio broadcast technology center in Cincinnati.
ICART was launched in January of this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, when the organization conducted a live, local over-the-air broadcast of captioned radio for an audience at the show.
Harris Recognized for Pollution Prevention
Quincy, IL - Oct 22, 2008 - The Harris manufacturing facility in Quincy, IL, has received a 2008 Most Valuable Pollution Prevention (MVP2) award from the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR) for its longstanding efforts in pollution prevention and dedication to protecting people, property and the environment. Harris was one of five companies or organizations recognized this year. The NPPR honored Harris Broadcast's radio and television broadcast transmitter manufacturing facility in Quincy for its major reductions in waste, energy consumption and water usage.
Harris received the MVP2 Award based on several employee-empowered pollution prevention projects, including a closed-loop water cooling system that has reduced water usage in its product testing process by nearly 21.6 million gallons per year. The company also implemented several toxicity reduction projects to eliminate toxic heavy metals and raw material impurities from the manufacturing processes. The result is a 30-to-35 cubic yard reduction in waste that equates to a 75 percent decrease in hazardous waste volumes from its wastewater pretreatment operation, and a 50 percent pretreatment chemical usage reduction.
The company's Quincy operation has been a four-time recipient of the Illinois Governor's Pollution Prevention Award and has received a Community Green Award for its efforts in recycling and waste volume reductions. The Quincy operation also has received an Industrial Achievement Award from the Illinois Association of Water Pollution Control Operators.
The NPPR presented awards for other projects as well. Other recipients were the New England Mercury Task Force, the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act Program, Illinois Sustainable Technology Center: The Cutting Edge Partnership, the Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center: Prevention and Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance Program.

SFTS Supports LGBTQ Community through Production of The Laramie Project |
For the second year in a row, San Francisco Theological Seminary students are producing and performing the Laramie Project. This epilogue play chronicles the reactions of people in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming to the kidnapping, beating, and death of Matthew Shepard, one of its community members. Each year, The Laramie Project is one of the most frequently performed plays throughout the United States.
The performance is scheduled for National Coming Out Day on Friday, Oct. 11, a day to "promote a safe world in which LGBTQ individuals can live truthfully and openly". Tad Hopp, a third-year M.Div. student who spearheaded the play last year, will again serve as Director, Organizer, and an actor in this year's production.
"Performing the Laramie Project at SFTS shows our solidarity with the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning) community," explained Hopp, in discussing his leadership of the Laramie Project. "We want to show that Christians and the church community stand with members of the gay community, including those like Matthew Shepard, who have faced and still face violence in their communities every day."
Hopp is also a member of the leadership team for the student group SFTS Welcome, an alliance between the heterosexual and LGBTQ communities that fosters the education, advocacy, and inclusion of the LGBTQ community at SFTS.
The show is free to attend, and voluntary donations will be taken at the door in support of the Matthew Shepard Foundation, an organization that seeks to "Replace Hate with Understanding, Compassion, & Acceptance" through a variety of outreach activities, including the Laramie Project. Last year, the SFTS production raised more than $200, and Hopp hopes to surpass that achievement at this year's performance.
"Because this is our second year putting on the show, and because it coincides with National Coming Out day on October 11, we hope to see a great turnout in support of the LGBTQ community."
For questions about attending the show, participating in the show, or making a donation to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Flash flooding a concern in area of Dean Peak Fire
KINGMAN, Ariz. -- Mohave County authorities said they're concerned about the possibility of damaging runoff from the Dean Peak Fire in mountains outside Kingman.
The fire still smoldering in the Hualapai Mountains is 90 percent contained, and the Sheriff's Office said concern now largely focuses on potential flash flooding that is common when a wildfire burns off vegetation.
Sheriff's Sgt. Don Bischoff said agencies are preparing a response plan for flash flooding.
Thunderstorm in the area is forecast to increase this week.
Hundreds of homes were evacuated but residents have been allowed to return to the affected neighborhoods.

like and have them wrapped for the holidays.
Local, low income families are eligible for the program.
At Thursday's kick off, the public is invited to stop by
Power Honda with a new unwrapped gift from 4:30
to 7:30 p.m. and help launch the
donation drive. Santa will be on hand to take pictures with children and the

the audience.
Donations will be accepted through December 19th at the SCV
Sheriff's Station, Power Honda, KHTS AM-1220 or anywhere you see a Sheriff's Toy
Drive donation box.

Aortic Coarctation—Child
The aorta is the main artery in the heart. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. Aortic coarctation is the narrowing of the aorta. This slows or blocks blood flow. It is often associated with other heart and vascular conditions. Examples include abnormal heart valves or aneurysms, which can lead to further health problems.

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 Casper!
Facts about Casper
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Casper's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Casper is a scruffy and ridiculously adorable little terrier mix that we rescued just in time from a high kill shelter. He is so happy to be free and is ready to find his forever home. He is as sweet as pie and has one of the cutest little faces! This little guy will make you laugh and smile everyday.
Casper is around 12 lbs and 11 months old.
Please email: firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in meeting Casper!
Other Pets at Hope Rescue 4 Change
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Casper, a Los Angeles Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Poodle (Miniature) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Los Angeles, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Poodle (Miniature) puppy from a breeder in Los Angeles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Los Angeles paves the way for another one to be saved.

Left critics of neoliberalism—or just plain old unregulated capitalism—often cite Margaret Thatcher's famous declaration "There is no such thing as society" as evidence of neoliberalism's hostility to all things collective. Neoliberalism, the story goes, unleashes the individual to fend for herself, denying her the supports of society (government, neighborhood solidarity, etc.) so that she can prove her mettle in the marketplace.
But these critics often ignore the fine print of what Thatcher actually said in that famous 1987 interview with, of all things, Woman's Own. Here's the buildup to that infamous quote:
Who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families…
It's that last phrase ("and there are families") that's crucial. Contrary to popular (or at least leftist) myth, neoliberals are not untrammeled individualists. In many ways, they're not that different from traditional conservatives: that is, they see individuals embedded in social institutions like the church or the family or schools—all institutions, it should be said, that are hierarchical and undemocratic.
Thatcher isn't alone in this. For all their individualist bluster, libertarians—particularly those market-oriented libertarians who are rightly viewed as the leading theoreticians of neoliberalism—often make the same claim. When these libertarians look out at society, they don't always see isolated or autonomous individuals; they're just as likely to see private hierarchies like the family or the workplace, where a father governs his family and an owner his employees. And that, I suspect (though further research is certainly necessary), is what they think of and like about society: that it's an archipelago of private governments.
Here's Milton Friedman in Capitalism and Freedom:
The ultimate operative unit in our society is the family, not the individual. (32; also see 13)
And here's Richard Epstein in a piece called "Libertarianism and Character" from a collection of essays about conservatism, edited by Peter Berkowitz:
It would be a mistake of major proportions to assume that legal rules are a dominant force in shaping individual character; family, school, and church are much more likely to be powerful influences. The people who run these institutions will use their influence to advance whatever conception of the good they hold, no matter what the state of the law.
I've been thinking a lot about these texts as the boys debate neoliberalism versus social democracy, and what neoliberalism is all about. What often gets lost in these debates is what I think is the real, or at least a main, thrust of neoliberalism, according to some of its most interesting and important theoreticians (and its actual practice): not to liberate the individual or to deregulate the marketplace, but to shift power from government (or at least those sectors of government like the legislature that make some claim to or pretense of democratic legitimacy; at a later point I plan to talk about Hayek's brief on behalf of an unelected, unaccountable judiciary, which bears all the trappings of medieval judges applying the common law, similar to the "belated feudalism" of the 19th century American state, so brilliantly analyzed by Karen Orren here) to the private authority of fathers and owners.

I'm looking at getting either a 3,000-ton (36BTU) Bryant central air unit (compressor/heatpump/programmable thermostat - $3.8k) or just a (same size) American Standard compressor outside ($2k) that would replace a more-than-20-year-old American Standard unit of the same size. This is for a second-home in Florida, and I'd be using a very reputable and known A/C guy.
These prices would not be for extremely high-efficiency units, but basically what they recommend will do the job well economically. Any thoughts on whether just going with the replacement compressor outside will probably be fine (given that it's the same make; the issue is that the old compressor finally gave out)? Any other recommendations? I see that Bryant has the Evolution, Preferred and legacy line ... and for this purchase I'm primarily interested in how well it all works (the old one was fine for years) and say initial and first-year costs. It looks like there are a lot of Bryant programmable thermostat options also (though don't know if what they are hoping to put in will also have a wide choice ... not interested in lots of zone tweaking etc.). Still waiting on model numbers from them, this is just what I know so far. |

These are heat pumps or straight AC condensers? Just the outside condenser? No matching evap coil? How do you heat? Your location? Coastal or inland? Can not offer an opinion without knowing all the facts including model numbers. Post back. IMO |
2k to replace compressor only? Ugh. I bet a salt air environment has taken its toll on condenser plating. Won't be long till you have additional leaks in piping. |

A big thanks to Swati for letting me do a guest post :) Hope you all like it! [Me: I should be thankful to you, Rosh, instead!]
After my Dove Beauty Moisture face wash got over, I decided to order the Organic Surge Daily Care face wash since I had read a lot about it. The one tempting factor of this face wash was the rose geranium oil which is one of the ingredients of the face wash. I love anything that smells of or contains roses and so I had to give this face wash a try!
Price: Rs 660 (Got it for INR528 from medplusbeauty.com)
Quantity: 200ml
My Experience
I will start off by saying I have become a big fan of this face wash! And this is not only due to the rose smell ;-) The face wash has all natural ingredients with no SLES or parabens. I find this to be another big attraction. It of course smells like roses – more like a gulkand smell. This is very refreshing.
The face wash is not very runny nor creamy. It is a golden yellow in colour and lathers very well. I take a pea sized amount in my wet palm, rub it between my hands to generate lather, and then apply it to my face and neck. I then rub it gently and in a circular motion over my face and neck and wash it off.
My skin feels squeaky clean but not dry. It feels hydrated and soft. Also, my face tends to get small boils on the cheek bones and near the nose every few days if I don't apply an antibacterial cream every 2-3 days. But since I have started using this face wash, the appearance of the boils has reduced and I do not need to use the antibacterial cream for many days at a time. So I am completely overjoyed!
• A small amount works a lot. This face wash will easily last me 6 months, I guess. I got it in April and little more than half is still left and that is with my husband using it half the time!!
• The rose smell! – even people who do not like rose smell or have a sensitive nose can use this cause the smell does not linger.
• Makes my skin squeaky clean without drying it.
• Reduces the appearance of boils.
• Comes in a pump dispenser bottle with a cap on top. So very easy to get the face wash out and also travel friendly.
• Contains natural ingredients which are definitely proving very good for my skin.
• Availability (only available online)
• Expensive? – I don't think so cause it will last really long as I said above and is well worth the price!
So have you used this face wash? How do you like it?
Me: You have definitely sold me over the product, Rosh! Its on my list!
If you did like the post, please please do share it with your friends. |

Quoted from brinyskysail Don't be frustrated A lot of people do not end up being the genotype in swami that they were "by the book". If you entered the info correctly, then just go with it and see what happens. I am a Teacher by the book and Explorer by swami, and the swami diet is infinitely better for me. I also don't do well on dairy, and I was very hesitant to even try the cheeses listed on swami. Eventually I did try the diamond cheeses, and...they don't bother me at all! I couldn't believe that it was possible for me to eat dairy. swami knew.also, don't go by the typebase values when using swami; typebase is for BTD, and swami has to be viewed as a separate entity. I am a BT A (and have a feeling that I'm a nonsecretor), but Parmesan cheese has become one of my best friends.The more I followed the swami diet, the more I realized how "right on" it really is. I didn't see it at first, but new realizations continuously pop up. I had originally entered something wrong, resulting in my swami diet being incorrect, and I could tell; I felt horrible, but as soon as I corrected the error I could tell that things were right. So if you think the data you entered is correct, just follow the diet, and your body will tell you if it's right or wrong. If there are any foods that you know you have a bad reaction to or are allergic to, definitely avoid those, but, as for others, you might be surprised that some foods you thought you can't eat, you really can.
Quoted from benandbecca Thank you for this thoughtful post! I am wondering though... Weren't all of those foods in the Type 4 database tested for the various blood types? If so, how can the results be disregarded?
Quoted Text Weren't all of those foods in the Type 4 database tested for the various blood types? If so, how can the results be disregarded?
Quoted from C_Sharp There are a few foods that because of my personal health conditions I do not eat even though SWAMI rates them highly (These foods might cause me to go into a coma--it is simply not worth the risk regardless of what SWAMI says).
Quoted from ruthiegirl What's in the Typebase isn't "wrong." It's just not as updated as SWAMI is. While parmesan cheese does floccate serum whateveritis for A non secretors in general, it doesn't do that for you personally. Or, it does do that to a small extent, but it has some other, more powerful healing factor that you need right now, and that healing factor outweighs the potential negatives. For Teachers in general, the main focus is on "healing the gut" and there are many cheeses that support gut health.
Quoted Text A food with a distinct Avoid-quality for you in a healthy state may actually be beneficial for you under other circumstances. Anyone who takes any kind of herb or drug knows that a substance can be dangerous - even poisonous - but utterly essential or life-saving if used when called for.

Some packages have new releases more than once a month and sometimes it's reasonable to not skip stabilization of any version. Given version of a package is usually no longer tested by users after release of a newer version, so I suggest the following change to the policy of stabilizations: Stabilization of given version of a package can be requested if this version has been in the tree for at least 10 days and a newer version of this package has been added to the tree. -- Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis

Collection Development Policy for Philosophy
Objectives: The collection in philosophy is designed to support the learning, teaching, and research needs of the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs in philosophy offered by the departments of philosophy of The Claremont Colleges. The collection also supports areas and cross-disciplinary programs related to philosophy, such as classics, religion, literature, politics and public affairs, law, bioethics, science and technology, cognitive science, women's and ethnic studies, leadership studies, early modern studies, and intellectual history.
Programs offered:
B.A. The undergraduate B.A. in philosophy is offered at Claremont McKenna, Harvey-Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges.
All of the departments of philosophy at the colleges cooperate; Pitzer, Scripps, Harvey-Mudd, Claremont Mckenna, and Claremont Graduate University have formal cooperative programs.
As with other subjects, Harvey Mudd College students may major in philosophy, dual major in philosophy, or fulfill their humanities concentration with four or more classes in philosophy. A major in philosophy at Harvey Mudd College must be achieved with courses at the other colleges.
M.A. The M.A. in Philosophy is offered by the philosophy department in the Centers for the Arts and Humanities at The Claremont Graduate University. Students may concentrate in the history of ancient philosophy, the history of modern philosophy, or contemporary philosophy. These different concentrations have different language requirements. The degree may be a final degree or an interim degree received before acceptance to candidacy for the Ph.D. program.
Accelerated B.A./M.A. and Dual Degrees. Claremont Graduate University offers an accelerated M.A. in philosophy which provides qualified graduates of The Claremont Colleges the opportunity to earn a CGU master's degree in one year. The University also offers dual degrees (e.g., an M.A./M.B.A. in philosophy and management).
Ph.D. The Ph.D. in Philosophy is offered by the philosophy department in the Centers for the Arts and Humanities at The Claremont Graduate University. In addition to the required course work, a folio (consisting of three 4,000 to 5,000 word papers), a dissertation prospectus, and an oral examination must be successfully completed before a candidate begins the dissertation. The dissertation is, as usual, followed by a defense. Candidates must also demonstrate reading proficiency in two different languages.
Subjects and collecting levels: The acquisition of primary texts is the main priority of the subject specialist in philosophy. Reference materials, secondary monographs about major philosophers, and periodicals should be acquired to support all basic philosophical areas. All acquisitions are budget-permitting.
The library should also purchase interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and theoretical materials to complement thematic and specialized courses offered by the graduate and undergraduate faculty, including works dealing with classical studies, religion, literature, politics and public affairs, law, bioethics, science and technology, cognitive science, women's and ethnic studies, leadership studies, early modern studies, and intellectual history. Moreover, because of the interdisciplinary character of current philosophical methods and interests, the philosophy fund should be used in conjunction with other funds to purchase important publications in other subjects that are relevant to philosophy.
Types of materials collected: Monographs, collections of essays, journals, reference tools, and electronic journals are the main forms of materials collected by the Library. Electronic primary texts (such as those available from Past Masters) are helpful because they serve remote users as well as in their function as virtual concordances. Major electronic indexes in philosophy should be supported since they are, taken together with the online catalog and union catalogs, the primary tools for access. As funds permit, relevant microforms, videos, and other primary research and classroom aids that correlate with the curricular and research interests of faculty will be considered.
Languages: Primary works of philosophy should, when possible, be available in the original language and in English. Secondary works, books, and other published materials in other languages will be purchased in accordance with the research and curricular needs of the faulty.
Geographical emphasis: No geographical area is excluded.
Chronological limits: None.

I grafted a scion from a local exchange last year onto some rootstock. The scion was supposed to be a Satsuma plum. Planted in a group with two other plums (Santa Rosa and Golden Nectar) and a pluot (Dapple Dandy), it is clear that there is something funny about this little tree: The leaves of the three other trees look identical to each other and nothing like this. I'm positive this is *not* rootstock growth. Older leaves near the base of the tree have less of the pronounced puckering and are a deep green, unlike the lighter green of the other trees' leaves. Any ideas on what I have, or is Satsuma just that different? |

I have a Satsuma I just put in ground a couple of months ago. It's leafing out and looks nothing like that. Of course I got my Satsuma at HD which has been known to mislabel... |

It looks like the scion may have a virus in it, either it was in or came from the rootstock. It may go away as it grows out. It could also be something else, thats just my best guess. Scott |
