Sociology is the study of people, society, and social life. Majoring in Sociology means exploring diversity among people, practices, and populations. Thinking like a sociologist means uncovering the taken-for-granted, testing the assumed, and critically exploring social situations.
As a sociology major at Maryville College, you will learn fascinating and challenging things about the world around you including the realities of inequality, social problems, and social change. Classes explore areas such as marriage and family, religion, education, and social movements. Sociology majors graduate with skills in social theory and a variety of scientific methods used to understand people. The sociology major at Maryville College is a welcoming and inclusive major for students of all backgrounds, providing a learning environment in which to better understand your own life circumstances as well as those whose life circumstances may be quite different from your own.

I've finished penciling and inking 25 pages; if I throw in the 5 pages I've already done (that are now buried on Livejournal), that will give me 30, a backlog of a little over two months at the 3x a week rate (assuming donations on the second month). These still need to be scanned and uploaded with dialogue, but the time-consuming part is finished.
Which means now I can do… something else. For the rest of the year! I suspect I will work on the Ai-Naidari guidebook for a bit. Or go to work on Bloom. Or both! I have Godkin edits due, too, but I haven't signed the contract on those, which means the due dates aren't set yet. Those shouldn't take me more than two days, though, once I get started. Scheduling the art's going to be the hard part.
*checks 2012 to-do board* Yes, I think that's most of what I have planned, other than miscellanea like "try out podcasting" and "formally launch Black Blossom." Oh, and Kickstarter fulfillment. And the Earthrise stuff. And approve the Rosary audiobook chapters as they come in…
You know, business as usual. -_-

Andy Bartley MBA '10
Developing skills and networks to build businessAndy BartleyMBA 2010: Co-Founder and CEO, Algorithms.ioSanta Clara's Evening MBA program has "opened my eyes" to the world of business. The dynamic and diverse character of the Silicon Valley is reflected in the student body. From launching a telecom business in Bangalore, to going through the process of an IPO, or learning how to manage change after an acquisition, the many perspectives that my peers bring to class have helped me better understand the real challenges facing business leaders today. I have also had the opportunity to experience international business firsthand through one of Santa Clara?s Global Perspectives course. I spent 10 days in London and Geneva studying at the London School of Economics and visiting some of the top financial institution in the world. Through all of these experiences I have developed lasting friendships that will continue long past graduation. I am taking with me the skills, confidence, and network I need to create a business, not just be a part of one. |

We just moved to a property and I am unsure of a lot of the plants here. Google images seems to have a lot of vines with this description but I didn't find an exact match.
Is it a weed that needs to go? Thanks! |

Parthenocissus quinquefolia, AKA virginia Creeper? If you can confine it, it's a nice vine for covering fences and such (nice fall colour, berries for the birds), but it's quite likely to take over and go everywhere if you let it. BP |
- Posted by persephone 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 30, 08 at 12:27
Ok. Thank you so much for the identification! As I sit here with poision ivy from my hedge out front and recovering from the shot I had to get to control it..let me ask. Am I going to get anything from virgina creeper? When I google it I get conflicting results. |
Not aware of any skin reactions to virginia creeper. |
None that I'm aware of - I pick it right out of the ground in my yard. Sorry to hear about the poison ivy - I've had it 3 times already this year! We have it growing up everywhere since we moved into our 85 year old house that sat vacant for 2 years without any lawn care, so it's a constant battle. Just remeber - leaves of 3, let it be!! Good luck! Diana |
We have have the variety P. quinquefolia 'Henryana' all up the back of our house (4 storeys) and we've never suffered any ill effects even when giving it its annual haircut by hanging out of the windows by our toes! In fact the only problem it's caused is when it grew into the down pipe and caused a flood in a thunderstorm. Does anyone know if it needs a pollinator? It flowers but never sets berries. I have always assumed that was because the summer is not hot enough but maybe I'm wrong. |
Flora, henryana is a separate species, from Asia, I believe. It's quite ornamental. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Parthenocissus henryana
>Am I going to get anything from virgina creeper?< Commonly grown in quantity by large nurseries and sold as an ornamental. Related to the grape plant. |
Carol - thanks for that information. It was sold named as I mentioned above but now I've checked and see the correct name. I also see it referred to as Chinese Virginia creeper, which is a name I've never heard before. So there you go - it's been climbing up my house for nearly 20 years and I've just found out it's proper name! Thanks again. Flora. ps the guy next door still insists on calling it 'ivy' whenever he comes round to say it's encroaching on his house. |

If you're like me, you are always trying to find 'the right hat' to keep the sun off of your face. In a perfect world, the wind would never blow strong enough to take the cliché wide-brim straw gardening hat off of my head, but here where I live, few and far between are the days when I can actually wear this kind of hat without constantly chasing it. I've been wearing baseball caps but they are so tight, my head gets too hot. But today I found 'IT' - a perfect hat! It's a medium blue denim, fits snugly, but not tight, has a big, floppy brim, and it's washable. AND, with the brim being floppy, I can drive with it on, too. I think it's a hippie hat. I'm in all my glory! |

The small-brimmed floppy one my husband stole from me to take fishing with him. He calls it "his" now. I try to humor him. Also, a wide-brimmed straw hat with a chin tie is a nice one I got from Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's old home). |

I don't ever wear one.. I tie my unruly curly hair back from my face with whatever I lay my hand on- such as dead Iris leaves, a strip of bark, some string that I was using to stake up something... |

My Veseys hat. It belonged to my father and when he died I got it as I am the only one who gardens in the family. He had this hat for years and I always liked it. When I wear it, which is every time I'm outside, I feel like he is with me and admiring the flowers. The hat is old and dirty and I don't want to wash it for fear of harming it, it's my lucky garden hat. |
I have a wonderful typical straw garden hat with a wide brim. I decorated it with some grape leaves and grapes, faux of course, but they are sadly faded now. |

I like to pin my hair up and put a visor on. The kind with the terry cloth liner to absorb the sweat. And you can get these at Wal-Mart for 2/$3.00, in all different colors. I wish they made big straw hats in sizes. One-size-fits-all hats are always too small. Guess I have a big head! |

Years ago, I found a straw hat with a wide brim and a chin strap. I have a terrible time with deer flies, they bite and leave me bleeding and I swell up with big knots. And they really like my face, especially around my eyes so I end up looking like a freak. (Whenever I use bug repellant it makes my skin burn and they still bite around my eyes!) So I sewed netting around my hat that I can pull down and have elastic around my neck, so they can't get up under it. I get a lot of laughs when people see me in it, but I love it anyway. Oh, and Susiebelle it came in sizes since I have the same problems with one size fits all. Unfortunately, it's starting to wear out so one day I will have to start looking for a new one. |
I am too rambunctious in the garden and cannot keep a hat on. The wide-brimmed Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms hats get in the way. I would need something in a size 7-5/8 with a chin strap--maybe a doughboy hat from WWI with air and Chi/Chakra vents. Hmmm, what's a Vesey's hat, ValerieGail? You've got me curious. |

Awww!! I so enjoyed hearing about the 'help' your granddaughter offers! How sweet! She's truly a 'little nipper.' I've gotten so used to having my hat on, I wore mine to bed the other night, didn't notice until it felt funny when I put my head on the pillow. |

Ahhh--the quest for the perfect hat. Yes, another big head here, so at least 3/4s of whats marketed is impossible to start with. I want something that keeps the sun off, which means a decent rim that shades the sides of my face as well as the front. Then, of course, there's the pesky vanity factor. And if it goes with my clothing even better. All this sets me me up as a hat collector. Which is almost as enjoyable a hobby as gardenening. So my favorite gardening hat? Hmmm ... I guess I havent found it yet. So gosh darn it, that means I still have to keep looking. Springcherry |
- Posted by Wendy_the_Pooh USDA 2003 z5/6 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 03 at 22:41
You know, I think I know where you can look, DedoVerde and Springcherry. My husband went fishing but forgot his hat, which was really my hat that I gotten to garden with (see my first post). I said I would find him a hat in town while he fished, so I went into sort of a "general store" for fisherpeople, where they cater to many of the fishermen and women that come through the town. They had dozens and dozens of hats to choose from. The one I picked out has a rim about two inches wide, and mesh all the way around on the bottom of the crown so you don't the air gets to the top of your head. It also has a chin strap, and it's cute, believe it or not! In it, I like to imagine myself as something of a female Crocodile Dundee. The style looks something like the hats shown on the page at the link below. Hey, if he can steal my garden hat, I can steal his fishing hat. Right? |

LOL yes, that sounds fair to me, Wendy. ESPECIALLY since you did the shopping while DH was fishing! The hats from your link do look comfortable. The floating had made me think - do most hats sink? LOL! |
Does anyone know where I can get a baseball hat I saw at a crafts fair on this guy that says "Growing A Better World" on the front? |

I will get sunburned after more a half hour outdoors, even with SPF30 or 45, so I bought one of those sun protector hats a few years ago and I use that to garden in. Not sure which online retailer I bought it from but the hat itself is called "The Adventure Hat" and it is the first style that's illustrated at the link below. Mine is white with the dark lining. |

I like the straw hats with the chin strap. I too have a big head. What you can do is wet the hat down thoroughly and wear it till it dries. It will stretch and fit your head perfectly!! I wear the hats more to keep the bugs away and the hair out of my face than the sun. |
I know this is an old post, but any luck finding a great garden hat for those with a "big head?" (like me!) |
Hey, they may not be very stylish or cheap, but they are the best gardening hats we've ever had. They are from a sun protection wear company called Sun Precautions and are made from sun protective material. I have the one they call women's cotton sun hat. It has a 5 inch brim and a chin strap. It comes in sizes s-xl. My husband wears one called wide brim crusher. It has a 4 inch rim and a chin strap. It comes in sizes s-2xl. Look under wide brim hats at their website. www.sunprecautions.com. They are expensive, but are comfortable and last forever. Anna |
My hat is perfect for keeping off the sun, is big but very lightweight, air-circulates underneath it...it is the conical asian hat that farmers in asia use. I got it from a vietnamese stall...very cute! have a look: |

Try Sun Precautions as recommended by AnnaFL. I'm a red-headed Family Doctor with a personal history of skin cancer. I also have two young children who love to be outside as much as I do. Sun Precautions offers many styles of hats for all ages and sizes. I think I have one of each! But, no one in my family goes anywhere outside without a hat and sunscreen--so they have to be comfortable. |

We can't stop staring at blogger and makeup artist Laura Jenkinson's mind-bending lip art. Click through to check out her best Disney-themed work.
When I was little, I believed that the face painters at my friends' birthday parties had the talent level of Van Gogh or Monet, but I'm pretty sure their work never looked anything like that of Laura Jenkinson, a UK-based blogger and makeup artist who creates vivid lip art featuring popular cartoon characters.
"I love transforming myself into something thats almost unrecognizable," Jenkinson wrote on her blog. Indeed, in addition to her mind-bending lip art, she's also used makeup to morph her entire face into characters like Edward Scissorhands and to create frighteningly realistic-looking special effect makeup.

Mazda Protegé
ashutoshsm Posts: 1,007The Mazda numbers include (unfortunately) the badly built Ford trucks and SUV resold, respectively, as the Mazda B Series and the Mazda Tribute. Leave those aside, and consider only Mazda's sedans (the Protege and the 626, then the 6) and you have ratings WELL below industry average. I wouldn't be surprised if they were better (ratings for just those 3 models) than most other supposedly better manufacturers'.
ashutoshsm Posts: 1,007LOWER numbers are better, when what you're measuring is problems reported per unit (whatever).
Get Falkens for Zoomster, rid yourself of the slow (larger diameter!) BFGs. You'll get back up to speed and more satisfactorily discharge your pro-bono duties as self-appointed Discussion Editor -
anonymousposts Posts: 4,202ashu: The Tribue and B-series are still Mazdas and should be counted against them much as the Passport and SLX were still counted against Honda/Acura. And even if you only want to count their cars you have to consider the Protege is 5 years old, the 626 has been made since 1998, and the Miata is essentially unchanged since it's introduction in 1991. Other higher-rated brands have had several new models introduced in the last couple of years and are still ranked highly.
Basically, you can't take the models whose quality ratings you like and say those are the cars which the manufacturer should be judged by. -
ashutoshsm Posts: 1,007... explain yourself in a bit more detail.
So - they're 5 years old. So what? They've won or been in the top 3 of every comparo ever since they were introduced.
And the Passport built by Isuzu isn't nearly as bad as the problems the Ford truck lines seem to have that creep into everything.
SLX - what's that? -
anonymousposts Posts: 4,202How do I need to explain myself in more detail?
Even if you only look at the Mazda cars such as the Protege, 626, and Miata you must realize that none of them are new models so they should no longer be plagued by "first year jitters". Other higher-ranking brands have had several new models introduced which might have a couple of first year bugs which would lower their score.
Regardless, you can't look at a couple of models that rank highly and say you should only look at those and disgregard their lower-ranking models.
"So - they're 5 years old. So what? They've won or been in the top 3 of every comparo ever since they were introduced."
What was the last comparison test a 626 won? Even the 6 has had only 1 win in a comparison test and that was against a Jetta and an Altima, not against the real heavy-hitters in the mid-size sedan category. Or maybe you are talking about the Protege...could you explain yourself in more detail?
So Ford is worse than Isuzu? Isn't Ford helping with the new Protege (poor Protege)? And isn't the Mazda V6 a Ford-based engine? Hmmm... sounds like you shoulda bought something else if your opinion of Ford is that low.
The SLX was a rebadged Trooper but became extinct when the MDX came out. -
mdaffron Posts: 4,421Seems kinda dead horse material to me ... but since you brought it up ...
I don't really put much stock in those quality surveys because of their limited scope. I go by personal experience. Here's mine:
1992 Protege - flawless until it got totaled at 28,000 miles.
1992 Protege No. 2 - flawless. Traded for Mazda B2300 pickup (aka "Ford Ranger") at 83,000 miles.
1994 B2300 pickup -- I have a stack of about 50 service receipts that aren't routine maintenance. I'm not exaggerating and I'll show 'em to you sometime. Met with Mazda NA regional service manager three times; Mazda wound up paying for most of the trouble and rental cars but that's not saying anything about the inconvenience of having to visit the shop and car rental places nearly every month during the 4-1/2 years I put up with this miserable example of Ford Quality.
2000 Mazda Protege - Flawless. 59,000 miles on it now.
Wife's 2002 Mazda Protege5 - Flawless. Wife has 20,000 miles on it now.
Just speaking from my personal experience; YMMV.
Meade -
anonymousposts Posts: 4,202Almost bought a new F150 the other day but Ford's quality scared us off, especially if we are going to pay $20,000 or so. Might as well buy an Element.
To save ourselves about $15000 vs. a new F150 or an Element we are about to buy a 1997 Dakota V6 club cab to satisfy our need for a Home Depot-mobile and something to get our bikes to the local trail. A little scared of it too but it's cheap so if it's a piece we will sell it .. QUICK.
I have no doubts the Protege is a reliable car. My only argument is that you can't say that you should only judge Mazda by cars you think do well in quality tests. We all know that is unfair. You could turn that around and say the Corolla is more reliable than a Camry so only look at the Corollas quality ratings.
But I digress...zoom,zoom. -
mazdafun Posts: 2,327If the vehicle in question is what you're considering, then its own reliability should be examined, in addition to the overall record of the make. Why would I consider the record of an SUV when I'm interested in a compact? Or vice versa?
I seem to recall R&T or MT correcting a DIRECT comparison article between the Accord and 6, stating they'd tied, or the 6 was slightly ahead instead of the Accord being slightly ahead. -
oskwi Posts: 88I agree with mdaffron regarding those reliability reports...IMO, it's all a conspriacy benefitting whatever car manufacturer they want to. Having a plethora of stats. and research education, I consult these reports but remember to keep their bias in mind...you have to as a researcher! Personal experience carries substantial weight. Having come from a VERY troublesome Chevy, I cannot fathom that their cars have less problems then the industry average. A red flag should go up!!! My Chevy had over $10,000 of repairs made on it in four years...these were not the average tires, belts, fluid changes, brakes, etc. These were a transmission, three air conditioning systems, several ABS sensors (at $500 a pop, these can add up quick!), cooling systems, etc. The experience, and that of many of my friends and colleagues, soured me on ever buying "American" again. I went to Mitsu and took a gamble since much of the car is Chrysler...luckily no problems. The only repairs I have made are a radiator cap ($14), a faulty transmission pan gasket ($40 w/ new tranny fluid), and some burned out switches over the course of 180,000 miles. In comparison to the Chevy, ZERO tranny problems, and the original coolant in the air conditioning system that still provides frigid air.
All in all, go by research COUPLED with your experiences and the experienes of other owners. I have a tough time with the latter because no one drives my 36,000 miles per year so that part is a gamble.
mdaffron...new Protege sitting in my garage with 3000 miles in three weeks...ZERO problems, not even the new car worries that need to be corrected...couldn't be happier! -
ashutoshsm Posts: 1,007The 6 has won numerous comparisons. The one where it was edged out by the Accord (Car and Driver?) the next month's issue cited a mathematical error and declared the 6 and Accord joint winners. It won Automobile mag's All Star. The others were all tested and eligible and lost.
I bought the 4 cylinder Mazda6, but only because of availability/gas prices/demand-supply (on the manual V6) issues. I would have happily bought it if I didn't value my gas money, and if they were available and the demand didn't force prices through the roof! And stop insisting on carrying on with the disparaging and misleading "Ford-engine" story - the block is Ford casted, the header, valves, VVT(-like) system and everything else are all Mazda designed!
I'm only responding to this here since you brought it up - we shoul take this to the 6 and comparison boards, although this is truly a dead-horse discussion there (Ford input on the V6 engine) -

speedypt Posts: 200Sorry for my absence of late....work is extremely busy and I don't get much "surfin" time.
Had some good size hail here in IL and Trigger suffered a broken windshield and a few dents. The dents are barely noticeable so I doubt I'll be having them fixed, but the windshield will be done as soon as I find a good place.
Can anyone share windshield replacement costs as a reference? Did anyone else insist on a new gasket or OEM glass? Insurance is picking up the tab on the windshield which is nice.
Nice to see some of the originals still here!

Took the clear-coat, paint & primer down to the sheet metal. Left a tiny dent in the center. Well, there goes my $400.00 Bush Child Dependant tax refund!

heyjoe11 Posts: 20Did the 2001 pro lx come with standard keyless entry? I thought it did, but when I took it to the dealer to get a key fob the mechanic took a quick look at the drivers foot well area and told me it could not be done. Where is the unit needed to program the key fob located? I'm pretty sure the 2001 lx had keyless entry and if I can tell the mechanic where to look for the control unit I can have one programmed. I searched the forum before posting but could not find any info that answered my question.

98.627% Finished Kitchen - Transitional White Inset w/ glass tile
posted by: theanimala on 01.02.2010 at 03:00 pm in Kitchens Forum After reading this site daily for 6 months now and getting tons of great advice it's time for us to post our finished kitchen. In keeping with the style of the house we needed to go more modern than traditional, but we didn't want something too contemporary. Also, we couldn't decide on painted or stained cabinets, so we decided to do both by painting the perimeter while having the island stained.
Although we moved no walls, it ended up being a bigger project then we expected as the old tile floor went through our foyer, powder room and laundry room. Also didn't have correct sub-flooring, and we wanted to move some of the appliances around, etc. The reason the it is only 98.627% completed, is we still have 1.373% left to do, such as glass shelves in glass front doors so in cabinet lighting can shine all the way through, etc. Details: Cabinets - Inset Shiloh Homestead painted MB Softwhite, Island Maple stained Espresso
Before: After: Sink Area: Backsplash: Island: Island - Backside: Pantry - Open: Lazy Suzan - Corner Pullout: A big thank you to everyone who gave such great advice over the past few months. If anyone has any questions on what we like /dislike please let us know. NOTES: Shiloh soft white. . . too creamy for me?

RE: Quilted Stainless Steel Backsplash (Follow-Up #8)
posted by: Mrs_Nyefnyef on 05.17.2013 at 05:43 pm in Kitchens Forum Another idea is what Martha Stewart has done for her set for the PBS show "Martha Stewart's Cooking School". It looks like stainless steel tiles behind the range--or perhaps it's a stainless sheet made to look like tile. The stainless tile pattern flows seamlessly into her stone or ceramic tiles (I can't tell which kind they are). There is no demarcation between the two types of tiles, it's very cleverly laid out. (you can find the show on your local PBS if you want to see the kitchen in more detail.)

Almost Finished- Light and Dark Kitchen with White Alaska Granite
posted by: brianadarnell on 12.03.2011 at 10:25 am in Kitchens Forum First of all, thank you to everyone who contributed so much to this kitchen. I learned so much and made so many wise decisions because of information I gained on this site. I found this site just as our new build construction began and was able to utilize all of the wonderful information into my kitchen design for function, even though I already knew exactly how I wanted the kitchen to look.
We ended up completing the house project ourselves so finalizing the kitchen and getting settled has taken some time. Hosting Thanksgiving for 14 was a major catalyst in the effort to at least get our main floor permanently decorated. Now the only thing missing is the barstools!
Some details:

RE: More range hood hell- re: height, depth (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: phylhl on 03.03.2013 at 07:46 pm in Kitchens Forum Right - what GWlolo said. Do not install. First - how wide is your range? Most hoods need to be 6" wider than the range. I would totally forget the cabinet above - not with a 6'2 DH and your ceiling height. There are 10" high hoods. See if going 36" above your range will be good (otherwise the hood won't capture much, ,it will be more for show). You can certainly get one less deep.
If all else fails, you can get one any size, depth and height from Modern Aire. We found ourselves in the exact same position - the KD couldn't get anything like what we wanted in a hood so we went for a statement hood. There are lovely SS ones out there in varying sizes. NOTES: range hood

Tune in alert for Syfy's Warehouse 13, as the next episode (USA) is "Endless Wonder."
Pete and Myka investigate an artifact that causes people to stretch...to death! Danielle Nicolet guest stars. The show airs Monday, Sept 10 at 9/8c.
On Thursday, September 6, the UK launch of the 4th season of Warehouse 13 happens, and M&C contributor and site friend Ian Cullen was recently lucky enough to speak with one of the shows stars, Eddie McClintock, on what fans can expect to see in the new series, but also what his thoughts are on the shows evolution thus far.Eddie McClintock's interview can be heard on Blog Talk Radio today - as Ian is rolling it out today at 4pm PST, so please join him.
Radio LINK
Interview Excerpt:
SFP: Whats your favorite artifact from the show?
Eddie McClintock: You know even though we never actually saw it. I loved when Pete talked about putting on Abe Lincolns Hat and having an irresistible urge to free Mrs Frederick. I just thought that was so smart and funny. I think that it kind of exemplifies what were doing on the show. Were trying to do something that is smart and funny, but has social purpose you know and it shows me that the audience trusts us. I think that it shows that everybody can watch Warehouse 13 and get something out of it.

Thibs responds to Reinsdorf's 'mediocre' comment
BY JOE COWLEY Staff Reporter January 29, 2014 11:00PM
- VIDEO: Derrick Rose shoots around before Bulls face Spurs
- Joakim Noah makes NBA All-Star team? Bulls accidentally post video
Article Extras
Updated: January 30, 2014 2:49PM
SAN ANTONIO – That bubble that Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau demands his players to work in?
It's getting smaller by the day.
Before Wednesday's 96-86 win over San Antonio to start a six-game West Coast trip, Thibodeau was not only asked about the criticisms from outside the organization, but the ones from the inside. Specifically, Board Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf calling the team "mediocre'' in a recent television interview.
"Jerry owns the team so he's entitled to say whatever he wants,'' Thibodeau said. "If that's the way he feels … and the way I feel about our team is this: It's that I'm really proud of them and we can do even better. So I'm not selling them short.''
No, but a lot of others have been.
Analysts Charles Barkley and Jeff Van Gundy each took shots at Bulls management the last week, with Barkley telling ESPN that if the franchise doesn't land Carmelo Anthony somehow, "they are going to be irrelevant for the next few years.''
"We're not going to respond to every rumor and things that this guy says and that guys says,'' Thibodeau said. "The only thing that really matters is what we think. So we're going to make the best decisions for our organization, the things that we feel gives us the best chance to have success.''
Thibodeau was then once again asked if he felt ownership was actually committed to doing whatever it takes to pursue a championship and responded, "As I told you, Jerry with me has been terrific. I don't have any problems with Jerry. There are a lot of decisions that have to be made that are tough decisions, they're not easy ones. And so you do what you think is right. You don't get them all right, but hopefully you get a lot more right than you get wrong. We've taken some hits so we have to navigate around what happened, and that's what we're doing.''
They were also navigating around the Spurs defense at the AT&T Center Wednesday night, completely outplaying San Antonio (33-13) in the fourth quarter thanks to Kirk Hinrich's return after missing the last four games (right hamstring). Hinrich had 11 points in the final stanza to help hand the Spurs their third-straight loss.
And yes, it was a San Antonio team with Manu Ginobili (hamstring) out for the next three weeks, as well as Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter sidelined, but the Bulls (23-22) are the last team to bring up injuries with considering what they have gone through this season.
The good news for the Bulls? With Hinrich back and Joakim Noah overcoming his flu-like symptoms that kept him out of the Monday loss to Minnesota, they are once again moving closer to full strength.

It was during the Bali fellowship that "the whole issue of deforestation emissions as a global problem became much clearer to me," Faleiros, who recently moved to England, wrote in an e-mail. Experts estimate that deforestation in tropical countries such as Brazil contributes to as much as one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. Faleiros reported and blogged from Bali (in Portuguese and English) and in Poznan expects to "cover the whole negotiations, write the hard news everyday. But what I really want is to come out with good material about forest governance. I will take the opportunity to interview as much people as I can."
Poznan will launch a tough year of international climate negotiations amongst countries big and small as the U.N. struggles to meet its daunting deadline. Shanahan said that the Climate Change Media Partnership hopes to continue its support, networking current fellows and sending another contingent to the 2009 Copenhagen climate change summit. He is also organizing a panel on climate change coverage in developing countries for the World Conference of Science Journalists in London next July.

These choices make it easy to impress relatives with your culinary skills; they just don't need to know they were acquired two days before Thanksgiving. Perhaps they will even want to come back to your house again (of course this may not be a good thing).
How to Cook Everything
For an all-around choice that will have utility beyond Thanksgiving, How to Cook Everything is a great app to have. It has highly detailed recipes with illustrations that will be useful for those at all levels of culinary skill. It is one of the original cooking apps to hit the App Store back at its launch, and has progressively grown into a benchmark choice.
It is more than just a digital version of a cookbook. Users can create and print out shopping lists, email recipes, and keep the app live without needing to continually touch the screen by pressing a button.
Whole Foods Market Recipes
If you like the variety of fresh, local foods available at Whole Foods stores then the app could be an ideal companion. There are plenty of ways to enhance your shopping experience by perusing the store's products or getting ideas for recipes before heading to the nearest local store.
It makes an ideal companion also for Thanksgiving, given the variety of cooking ideas that Whole Foods puts into holiday meals. While some may be a litle on the complex side, they can certainly provide some inspiration.
Thanksgiving: a Bon Appetit manual
The team behind the perennial cooking magazine put together 101 recipes crafted from the magazine's test kitchen. Some of them are not for beginners, as Bon Appetit appeals to those who have a taste for the more elaborate or higher-end dishes. Yet it has very good details and how-to sections for those looking to step up their culinary game.
Bring Food Network to your kitchen
If Giada de Laurentiis and Bobby Flay are where you get your inspiration, then the Food Network in the Kitchen app is a great choice to download. It recently got an iOS 7-themed update that is very appealing.
While a few users have noted in the App Store reviews issues with the update, I did not experience any when testing it out. When scanning through for recipes they can be saved inside of the app's recipe box. Use this resource to create shopping lists for creating an ideal meal.

Womens SELENA Rock Climbing Harness

- EVA foam
- Polyurethane
- Aluminum
Shopping Info
Petzl Women's SELENA Rock Climbing Harness - The Women's SELENA sport climbing harness by Petzl is ideal for sport climbing. With its EndoFrame construction, it provides excellent weight distribution around the waist and legs to ensure optimal comfort. The waistbelt and leg loops have double straps while the waistbelt is wider on the sides. Specific stitching on the waistbelt limit hard points and chafing and the elastic leg loops remain adjusted and offer complete freedom of movement. The DoubleBack Light buckle allows quick and easy adjustment of the waistbelt and Dyneema tie-in points improve resistance to rope friction. The SELENA has four equipment loops, two rigid loops in front for quick and easy access to equipment and two flexible ones in the rear to avoid creating pressure points with a backpack. It also features two slots for CARITOOL tool holder (not included), a rear loop for haul rope and detachable elastic leg loop straps. The Women's SELENA Climbing Harness provides a comfortable fit in a practical design.
Petzl Women's SELENA Climbing Harness:
This is one of the most popular climbing harnesses for women (though I do sometimes see men wearing it as well). Go to any local gym or crag and tons of folks will be wearing it. Very comfortable. I am a size small, and sometimes I wish the gear loops were farther forward (they are far back on the harness and hard to reach), but overall, a great harness. In fact, this is my second one -- my old one needed to be replaced.
It is simple and highly functional. That is all you need from a harness for sports climbing. In the mountains - you might need more buckles and more robust design, but for what is it meant, it is perfect.

glassfish commented on the blog post Neil Young Supports First Nations Against Tar Sands
I've had my fill of celebrities too, but I admire what Neil Young is doing. Anyone who stands up to corporate power and supports justice for the powerless is a hero to me. In many ways Neal is risking more than most. The bottom line is that tar sands destruction must be stopped. It's insane what is happening up there.

I'll never understand why a billionaire would be so vehemently opposed to paying a few per centage points more in taxes. What is the rationale for objecting to higher taxes when you have such an obsene amount of money. I don't believe greed is the only answer, but maybe it is. I also don't understand the republican justification for protecting the fat cats. It will never, never make sense to me. It is just insane.

Thirst-Quenching Shopping
Gift Bags for Good highlighted bags donated by Shamika Cotton, HBO's the Wire, First Lady Laura Bush, Jorge Posada, along with other high profile individuals and celebrities that were auctioned off in a silent auction last week in New York City. The proceeds go to support the mission of Water Partners International.
The next time you have a conversation with friends and discuss the Academy Awards and get a little jealous and annoyed with all of the free high end goodies celebrities get—not to mention the fabulous designer gift bags they gift come in—know that there are some unselfish people in world.
Entrepreneur Paul Poux has attended many high profile events and received everything from high-end leather designer gift bags to paper shopping bags filled with everything from silk dresses to designer cufflink sets.
Poux isn't on the A through D list of celebrities either. In fact, if you passed Paul on the street you wouldn't even know who he is. Poux partnered with Water Partners International, an organization committed to providing clean drinking water to communities in developing countries and Caravan, a clothing boutique that has an audience of consumers who donate money for a good cause. "I thought, let's put an event together. We have so much. Let's use some of it to help people who have so little,� Poux said, in an interview.
Gift Bags for Good highlighted bags donated by Shamika Cotton, HBO's the Wire, First Lady Laura Bush, Jorge Posada, along with other high profile individuals and celebrities that were auctioned off in a silent auction last week in New York City. The proceeds go to support the mission of Water Partners International.
Gift Bags for Good silent auction attendees browsed around Caravan looking at the gift bags and their contents. Most were overwhelmed by the many options to bid on. "All of the gift bags are about excess. It's great to see that all of this excess can benefit something so simple such as clean water,� said Michael Anastasio, who was in attendance. Tables were filled with goodies such as skin care products, clothing, wine, liquor, note cards and much more.
Celebrity Shamika Cotton says she is always looking for new organizations to support. She was excited to have the opportunity to provide something to help a great cause. "Water seems so simple, but when you think about all of the designer water we drink everyday while there are people in the world who just want clean drinkable water, it's great to have an organization such as Water Partners International to meet that need,â€? notes Cotton.Â

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Roux, Suretha email@example.com URN etd-08042008-142035 Document Title Modulation of functional properties of bi-functional S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase / Ornithine decarboxylase of Plasmodium falciparum by structural motifs in parasite-specific inserts Degree MSc Department Biochemistry Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr L Birkholtz Co-Supervisor Prof A I Louw Supervisor Keywords
- enzymes
- novel drugs
- chemotherapy
- Malaria
Date 2008-09-07 Availability unrestricted Abstract Malaria is a global health threat that causes 300 – 500 million clinical cases annually, resulting in approximately 2 million deaths. Chemotherapy and prophylaxis are becoming less effective because of increasing drug resistance by the parasite. Resurgence of malaria calls for the development of mechanistically novel drugs. The bifunctional organization of the two rate-limiting enzymes, AdoMetDC and ODC, in the P. Falciparum polyamine pathway and the presence of six parasite-specific inserts, present potential target sites for novel Plasmodia-specific drugs. The inserts are species-specific, hydrophilic, low complexity segments and form non-globular domains. The inserts are involved in intra- and interdomain interactions, which are important for stability and activity of the bifunctional construct. This study investigated properties of the parasite-specific inserts, one being the mobility of the O1 insert and the other the secondary structures present in the parasitespecific inserts.
It is postulated that the mobility of the O1 insert plays a role in either heterotetrameric complex formation of the bifunctional construct or that the O1 insert acts as a "lid" to the ODC active site, which is necessary for catalytic function. Successful mutagenesis of the O1 flanking Gly residues to Ala, rendered the O1 insert immobile. The probable immobility of the O1 insert had a detrimental effect on the activity of both the AdoMetDC and ODC domains of the bifunctional protein. Molecular dynamics studies showed that movement restriction of the insert caused a conformational change in the ODC monomers. The decrease of both domain activities upon movement restriction of the O1 insert suggests that the insert is involved in protein-protein interactions, which is communicated throughout the protein.
In addition, the roles of selected, predicted secondary structures in the Hinge, O1 and O2 parasite-specific inserts were investigated. á-Helices were disrupted by the introduction of a Pro residue, â-plates were removed with deletion mutagenesis. The effects of the secondary structure alterations on protein activity were monitored in the bifunctional PfAdoMetDC/ODC protein. Both domain activities were affected by the disruptions, although the ODC domain was more sensitive to the small changes. The results obtained in this study showed that the secondary structures in the parasite-specific insert are important for activity of both the AdoMetDC and ODC domains of the bifunctional protein, possibly via interdomain protein-protein interactions.
The delineation of essential intra- and interdomain protein-protein interactions presents possible interaction sites for disruptive molecules in the combat against malaria.

It is unbelievable how inconsiderate a lot of dungeon PUG'ers are in respect to letting the tank gain threat, let alone damaging the target that the tank is TARGETING. I was in a ToC 5 man the other day and I had a mage who refused to hit the same target I was on, constantly pulling aggro. He started to complain when the healer refused to continue healing him. When explained to him that he should focus fire on the tank's target he informed me it was my fault for not Death-gripping the mob off of him.

The large equal-corner desktop is a high-quality, very thick laminate top in your choice of color options (Conset tops are thinner and tend to droop slightly).
The sturdy 3-leg standing desk base comes standard with an LED control panel to easily make precision adjustments. Save up to four preset positions for the convenience of consistent positioning for either sitting or standing, or to accommodate multiple users. If you prefer an l-shaped desk, but aren't quite ready to spring for one of our solid wood standing desks, you can't go wrong with the UPLIFT 950 Height-Adjustable L-Shaped Standing Desk!
Our customers are saying...

The power grommet gives you easy outlet access for peripherals, and allows power sources to move up and down with your desk when going from sitting to standing. A standard grommet hole with cover is 3" in diameter, and a power grommet is slightly larger at 3.125" wide to accommodate your outlets. For custom grommet hole positions, please call us at 1-800-531-3746.
Choose from the following three base colors for your UPLIFT 950 Height-Adjustable L-Shaped Standing Desk:
The Advanced Wire Management Kit is a complete cable organization system for your height-adjustable desk. We developed this kit after years of desk installations. It's a proven way to easily manage all computer and electric desk cords. The kit includes the following:
Click the video below to get some helpful tips on making the most of your UPLIFT Advanced Wire Management Kit:
The included cable organization tray forms the crux of your wire management solution with a sleek, black design that seamlessly blends with your desk's design and mounts securely to the desktop with two self-tapping wood screws or a strip of included double-sided tape. At 3.6'' wide, this tray is wide enough to accommodate cords, power supplies and the included power strip, minimizing below-desk clutter. While we recommend adding the entire advanced wire management kit for a full cable management solution with the most customization, this wire management tray portion of the kit can also be added to your desk order on its own.
10 self-adhesive wire mounts and 100 single-use cable ties allow for cables to be bundled and pulled taut against the bottom of the desk, eliminating hanging wires.As your workstation develops over the years, it's likely that you'll need to re-bundle wires for routing or storage inside the wire management tray. A set of 10 reusable cable ties is also included, allowing for modification of cable bundling as needed without needing to replace individual cable ties.
Additionally, the Advanced Wire Management Kit provides a desk-to-wall cable organizer to organize wires running from an outlet or equipment to your desk in a single bundle. The desk-to-wall cable organizer's heavy-duty "spiral" design protects the cables inside from wear and tear, while also allowing cables to be integrated into the organizer or removed from it easily. An included quick wire add/remove tool rapidly and efficiently routes cables into the organizer.
Finally, if you need more power outlets close at hand, or just need an all-in-one power solution, a clamp-on surge protector with USB charger can be added to the Advanced Wire Management Kit or ordered as a standalone product. This unique surge protector features six power outlets with space for two large AC adapters as well as a pair of ports for charging USB devices. Capable of clamping onto any surface up to 1 3/8'' thick, this surge protector can placed nearly anywhere on your desk for convenient outlet access. Please note that this surge protector will not fit inside of the wire management tray and must be mounted on the desk edge.
The UPLIFT 950 Standing Desk can be ordered with optional casters. The casters for the UPLIFT 950 Sit-Stand come in a set of six - two for each leg. They can be locked to keep the desk stationary, but easily unlocked when you need to roll the desk.
Please note: the casters will add approximately 1.5 inches of height to your desk.
The attached stands that typically come with a new monitor are not ergonomic or adjustable; using a monitor arm will allow you to maintain good posture, avoid eye strain, control monitor position and save desktop space. Most people who purchase a monitor arm come back and say they should have done so years ago.
The UPLIFT Monitor Arm is a stylish, pneumatic monitor arm that provides complete fingertip adjustment for height, depth and lateral movement. These arms support monitors weighing up to 17.5 lbs. and feature an adjustable counterbalance system that allows for easy adjustment. If you are looking for a dual monitor solution, we also offer the UPLIFT Dual Monitor Arm, for two monitors up to 17.5 lbs. each.
Add an UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat to your desk order, and receive an additional discount off the regular mat price. Our UPLIFT Sit-Stand anti-fatigue desk mats are extremely durable and comfortable. The padding is an inch thick and the surface is puncture-proof to withstand high heels or even the wheels of your chair. Choose from a 2' x 3' size or a 3' x 5' size.
Note: If you wish to use your UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat as a chair mat as well, you will need the 3' x 5' size.
When using a sit-stand desk, we recommend mounting your computer beneath your desktop to prevent cables from being stretched and pulled out of their ports when moving the desk from sitting to standing positions. We don't recommend leaving your CPU on the floor, as most cords aren't long enough to stretch from a computer placed on the floor to the standing height of your desk. While one option is to place your CPU on top of your desk, a CPU holder allows you to securely attach your computer tower to the bottom of your desktop to free up desk space. For an adjustable CPU holder at a discounted price when bundled with this desk, our own UPLIFT CPU Holder features a 360° swivel mount and a gliding track mechanism for easy access to your computer.
Click the video below to see the many features and benefits of the UPLIFT CPU Holder:
Adding an UPLIFT Desk Modesty Panel & Cable Management will give your UPLIFT desk's minimalist design an extra level of privacy. This modesty panel easily attaches to your desktop, traveling with it as you move from sitting to standing height, and features a mesh pocket for convenient wire management. The UPLIFT Modesty Panel, available at a discount when bundled with your desk, will help increase under-desk privacy while maintaining your desk's clean, open design, and is available in three different sizes to correspond with our 48'', 60'' and 72'' desktops:
For a little bit of extra storage, add an UPLIFT Half Circle Desk Drawer at a discounted price when bundled together with your desk. This half-circle-shaped, swiveling drawer easily attaches to the underside of your desktop via a central mount and pivots in either direction, rotating out to give you quick and easy access to smaller accessories that you don't want cluttering up your desktop. Featuring pen and pencil trays, a notepad slot, a tape dispenser, and storage compartments, the 13.6'' W x 7.4'' D x 1.3'' thick UPLIFT accessories drawer will help keep your height adjustable desk cleaner and more organized.
The Raynor Evo Chair is an extra-comfortable executive task chair. Covered in soft foam and upholstered in stain-resistant fabric, this chair is available at a significant discount when purchased with your UPLIFT Desk. You won't be sitting as often anymore, but it's still nice to have an attractive and functional chair.
The Muvman Sit-Stand Stool is virtually the perfect accessory for your standing desk. With this ''active seating'' solution, you can take short breaks with your desk at standing height, giving you a third option somewhere between sitting and standing. The Muvman Sit-Stand Stool offers a height adjustable seat, a built-in handle for portability, and a non-slip base for the maximum range of motion with exceptional stability.
Please note: The Muvman ''factory'' model is only available with a black vinyl seat and black base. Red microfiber seat cushion is only available with black base.
We also have a variety of other ergonomic stools that make a great accessory for your UPLIFT Standing Desk.
Each desk and its components are carefully packaged for maximum protection during shipment. Most desks will ship via freight carrier, and standard delivery will include curbside or dock-to-dock delivery. However, we have many delivery options available to meet your needs. Please click the links below to read detailed descriptions of our freight shipping and white glove delivery options:
We are so confident in our product that we back each UPLIFT desk base we ship with a 5-year, all-inclusive warranty, which covers the frame, motor, controller, switch, electronics and mechanisms. You also have the option of upgrading to our 12-year, all-inclusive extended warranty to more than double the length of your warranty period.

From Abracadabra to Zombies | View All
The stigmata are wounds believed to duplicate the wounds of Jesus' crucifixion that appear on the hands and feet, and sometimes on the side and head, of a person. The fact that the stigmata appear differently on its victims is strong evidence that the wounds are not genuinely miraculous (Wilson).
St. Francis of Assisi (1182 - 1226), devoted to imitate Jesus in all ways, apparently inflicted himself with wounds and perpetrated the first stigmatic fraud. There have been several hundred others since, including Magdalena de la Cruz (1487-1560) of Spain (who admitted her fraud when she became seriously ill) and Therese Neumann of Bavaria (1898-1962). The latter reportedly survived for 35 years eating only the "bread" of the Holy Eucharist at mass each morning. She was also said to be clairvoyant and capable of astral projection. One of the more recent stigmatics, Fr. James Bruce, claimed not only to have Jesus's wounds but also that religious statues wept in his presence. This was in 1992 in a suburb of Washington, D.C., where strange things are common. Needless to say, he packed the pews. He now runs a parish in rural Virginia where the miracles have ceased.
Self-inflicted wounds are common among people with certain kinds of brain disorders. Claiming that the wounds are miraculous is rare and is more likely due to excessive religiosity than to a diseased brain, though both could be at work in some cases.
The likelihood that the wounds are psychosomatic (psychogenic purpuras), manifested by tortured souls, seems less likely than hoaxing in most cases. There are two main reasons for believing the stigmata are usually self-inflicted, rather than psychosomatic or miraculous. One, no stigmatic ever manifests these wounds from start to finish in the presence of others. Only when they are unwatched do they start to bleed. (There is one apparent exception to this rule: Catia Rivas. Close examination of her behavior, however, shows that she's really not an exception after all.) And two, Hume's rule in "Of Miracles" is that when an alleged miracle occurs we ask ourselves which would be more miraculous, the alleged miracle or that we are being hoaxed? Reasonableness requires us to go with the lesser of two miracles, the least improbable, and conclude that we are witnessing not miracles but pious frauds. All 32 or so recorded cases of stigmata have been Roman Catholics and all but four of those cases were women. No case of stigmata is known to have occurred before the thirteenth century,* when the crucified Jesus became a standard icon of Christianity in the west. Reasonableness seems to require the non-miraculous explanation.
One of the latest to be added to the list of alleged stigmatics is Audrey Santo, a child who has been in a coma since 1987 when she was three years old. What kind of people are inspired by the concept of a god who would render a child comatose and then inflict wounds on her? Joe Nickell thinks he has the answer.
People seem to hunger for some tangible religious experience, and wherever there is such profound want there is the opportunity for what may be called "pious fraud." Money is rarely the primary motive, the usual impetus being to seemingly triumph over adversity, renew the faith of believers, and confound the doubters.
People also don't want to think their god would allow purposeless and gratuitous pain. They like to feel important and please those with power over them. What could be more special than being chosen to suffer the Savior's wounds and torments? What could please such a god more than being a living proof of this god's existence? Well, being honest and truthful might be a good start.

In other cities, violent gun felons are released by the court system and allowed to disappear back into the alleyways and dark corners that spawned them, but here, we keep them fixed firmly in the spotlight of the law.
Statistics show that 30 percent of all shootings in New York City have been committed by a small group of offenders — mostly members of youth gangs. In order to keep their whereabouts known to the police, Mayor Bloomberg, Speaker Quinn and I spearheaded legislation in 2006 to create the first registry of convicted gun offenders — a law copied in Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, DC, among other locations.
Because of this law, defendants convicted of certain gun crimes must register their addresses with the police, verify them in person every six months and promptly notify the police if they change addresses for four years after their release from prison. Some dangerous felons have gone back to prison for failing to comply with these guidelines, with 11 arrests in 2012 alone for not registering. Quite frankly, this registry is a simple and effective way for the NYPD to keep track of our most violent criminals.
Numerous studies have shown that illegal gun possession has a very high risk of recidivism, and New York City statistics have indicated that those convicted of felony gun possession were more likely to be rearrested when compared to other felons. Forty-two percent of those rearrests were likely to be on violent charges, compared to 25 percent for those not convicted of gun crimes, and gun offenders were also four times more likely to be arrested for homicide. As of December 2012, there were 595 eligible gun offenders in New York City, 302 of whom are currently back in jail.
Recently, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. proposed expanding our registry to all of New York State and making it available to the public online. Borough President Diaz and I are now working together on this plan.
I am currently drafting legislation calling for the gun offender registry to be created statewide, providing police across New York with one of the resources the NYPD and Commissioner Ray Kelly have used to bring murders in the city to the lowest recorded number in history, as well as a bill making the existing New York City registry public online — an idea I believe has advantages and deserves to be discussed. Rather than publicly displaying the names of legal gun owners who have not broken the law — as was recently done by The Journal News in Westchester County — why not alert people to potentially dangerous criminals in their communities?
New York is the safest big city in America, in part because our registry shines a light on gun offenders. Now, the state Legislature must follow in the city's footsteps by providing law enforcement with this common-sense crime-fighting tool that will help keep the public safe from the most violent criminals — we can't allow them to slip unnoticed back into the shadows. Let's at least keep the lightbulb hanging in the precinct ceiling over their heads.
Peter F. Vallone Jr. is New York City Councilman for the 22nd District, in northwestern Queens, chairman of the Public Safety Committee and a candidate for borough president.

Great news Chaetodon fans, the Dusky Butterfly Fish is finally here! Chaetodon flavirostris, also commonly known as the Black Butterflyfish, or Orange-Nosed Butterfly, is a challenging but highly rewarding addition reserved for the most confident aquarist experienced in keeping large, corallivorous butterflies.
The Dusky Butterflyfish's contrasting aurora of golden orange and yellow rings encircle a moody purple-black, disc-shaped body. As they mature, the snout-like mouth turns white with a yellow band, the body darkens, and a characteristic lump emerges on the forehead. Notoriously difficult to feed in captivity, these omnivores primarily feed on coral polyps, benthic invertebrates and algae in the wild. A diet of vitamin-enriched fresh clams may be needed in the beginning. Once eating, offer vitamin-enriched mysis and brine shrimp. For best success, a 125-gallon or larger, fish-only aquarium is recommended with live rock (and fast-growing corals you expect to be consumed). Approximate Purchase Size: Small 1" to 2"; Medium 2" to 3"; Large 3" to 4-1/2"; XLarge 4-1/2" to 6" |
