Law School Salutes Graduates at Commencement 2011
Washington University School of Law saluted its graduates and their families at Commencement Ceremonies on May 20. Some 304 J.D.s and 80 LL.M.s made up the May 2011 list of graduates. All August 2010, December 2010, May 2011, August 2011, and December 2011 law graduates were invited to participate in both the university and law school ceremonies.
The festivities began with a law class photo outside the Olin Library, followed by Washington University's ceremony in the Brookings Quadrangle. Elie Wiesel, a Nobel laureate, Holocaust survivor, and human rights activist, delivered the Commencement address.
Immediately following the university ceremony, Washington University School of Law's ceremony began with the law school processional and was held under the tent at Seeley G. Mudd Field. The J.D. Class Marshals were Jarrod D. Reece and Kristen K. Erickson, and the LL.M. Class Marshal was Xiao Chen.
At the law school ceremony, Dean Kent Syverud, the Ethan A.H. Shepley University Professor, delivered the Remarks to the Graduates. Alicia McDonnell (JD '95), a member of the law school's National Council, offered the Welcome to the Legal Profession. Joseph A. Litman, juris doctoris candidate, served as the Voice of the Class.
Janet Bolin, associate dean of admissions and student services, presented honors and awards. Laura Rosenbury, associate dean for research and faculty development and professor of law, and Colleen Erker, assistant dean for academic services and registrar, read the names for the presentation of diplomas.
A reception for graduates, alumni, and guests was held in Anheuser-Busch Hall immediately following the ceremony.

We are building one story house with conditioned crawl space. Laundry room on first floor over crawl space. The Plumber no longer recommends these drains because of possible insect infestations coming from end of pipe opening outside the crawl space. Says screens on end of pipe have to be checked and do not always work. Any one deal with this problem. I would think an overflow drain is still preferable to having the possibility of water leaking into the conditioned crawl space. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Put it on your yearly maintenance, or tie it into your drain system for the rest of the house (and then you'll need monthly maintenance to put water into the trap). Or, replace your water heater regularly enough so as to avoid a leak? Also have you seen these? Has your plumber? Are they allowed in your jurisdiction? |
Here is a link that might be useful: trap guard
"then you'll need monthly maintenance to put water into the trap" Or instal a trap primer to something that is used frequently. Like the washer itself. |
I don't think it's a water heater leak that is the concern, but instead the washer and the connections. In any case, just hook the floor drain to the DWV system and provide a primer from the laundry room taps. Laundry room floor drains are mandatory in at least one jurisdiction in my area. |

Congressman Tim Ryan: Building a Mindful Nation - Together
By now, you've read it in the Huff Post, the New York Times, and heck, you might even have seen it on the boob tube (presuming you even still turn on the TV). The word is out: meditation has been proven to improve our health. It's widely accepted as truth, so the question is, why isn't this mindfulness practice being integrated more fully into our health care system? That's the question Congressman Tim Ryan is asking, and he is the only elected official publicly advocating for meditation and mindfulness practices to be integrated in our governmental institutions like education and health care.
We've been fortunate enough to have the meditating Congressman attend the Wanderlust for two years in a row, sharing his thoughts on the matter in the Speakeasy Lecture Series. In this very earnest discussion, Ryan elaborates on why he believes in mindfulness, how it's helped him, and why it should be integrated into our health care, education, and military programs.
"There's a general sense that politics and mindfulness can't come together," explains Ryan, "but the there's room for mindfulness everywhere. For me, I knew that when I would meditate that my mind was quieter. I felt less stress, I was more focused - all of the health benefits that we know."
The Congressman, also an avid athlete, explains how a mindfulness retreat led to a waking up moment when he realized that the serenity and peace of practicing mindfulness is accessible to everyone, so long as they know about it.
"In the middle of our walking meditation by the brook, my mind and my body were exactly in the same spot - there was an awareness, a clarity, where I was just in the present moment. It's like when you're in the zone as an athlete, a mind-body synch up. My next thought was: this needs to be available to everyone. It should be in our schools, in our health care system, for our veterans who come back totally damaged from the war."
"If we're not careful about what stress can do to our bodies, it can act as an inflammatory and literally inflame your body, making you sick. Mindfulness acts as a cooling agent, it can reverse those affects of stress and cool the body down. As someone who was working on reforming our healthcare system, I thought we have to integrate this."
Watch the full speakeasy lecture to learn more about mindfulness, why it's a good alternative to Western medicine and pharmaceuticals, and how we can play a part in integrating it into our government institutions. If you'd like to go deeper into the Congressman's research and suggestions for implementing mindfulness at large, be sure to pick up a copy of his book, "A Mindful Nation: How a Simple Practice Can Help Us Reduce Stress, improve Performance, and Recapture the American Spirit". You can follow the Congressman on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with his mindfulness initiative.
Wanderlust Festival is indebted to Hay House who helped us realize the entire 2012 Speakeasy Lecture Series across all four festivals (Stratton, VT in June 2012; Copper Mountain, CO in July; Squaw Valley, CA in late July; and Whistler, BC, Canada in August). With Hay House's amazing roster of speakers (which you can witness in person at their incredible "I Can Do It" events), it's no wonder that they helped elevate the conversation at Wanderlust's Speakeasy this past summer. We encourage you to stay tuned to the Hay House FB feed to make sure you know the next time one of their authors is speaking near you.
Stay tuned to our Wanderlust networks (Youtube | Facebook | Twitter) to catch our weekly Speakeasy Video releases from the likes of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Congressman Tim Ryan, Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, Irshad Manji, and Waylon Lewis (from Elephant Journal) and so many more.

New PBA Performance Index Shows Industry Expansion
Posted: October 30, 2009
The Professional Beauty Association's (PBA) recently released Salon/Spa Performance Index indicates the industry is still growing, with most skin care and salon professionals optimistic for the future.
The outlook for the salon/spa industry remained positive in the third quarter, as the Professional Beauty Association's (PBA) Salon/Spa Performance Index (SSPI) rose for the second consecutive quarter. The SSPI, a quarterly composite index that tracks the health of and outlook for the U.S. salon/spa industry, stood at 101.9 in the third quarter, up 0.1 percent from its second quarter level.
The SSPI is constructed so that the health of the salon/spa industry is measured in relation to a steady state level of 100. Index values above 100 indicate that key industry indicators are in a period of expansion, while index values below 100 represent a period of contraction for key industry indicators.
"For the first time this year, salon/spa owners reported a net increase in service sales. However, they also reported that retail sales continue to be soft," said Sam Leyvas, PBA's director of government affairs. "Long-term, we are seeing growing optimism on the part of salon/spa owners both in terms of service and retail sales in the months ahead."
The SSPI is based on the responses to PBA's Salon/Spa Industry Tracking Survey, which is fielded quarterly among 800 salon/spa owners nationwide on a variety of indicators including service and retail sales, customer traffic, employee/hours and capital expenditures. The Index consists of two components: the Current Situation Index and the Expectations Index.

Ingredients - makes 10 rolls
200g strong white bread flour
300g strong wholemeal bread flour
1.5 tsp salt
7g sachet yeast or 1tbsp dried active yeast
1 red pepper diced
1 heaped tbsp fresh thyme leaves
50g chopped walnuts
2 tbsp olive oil
300ml lukewarm water
100g Capricorn goats cheese cut into 10 x 10g pieces
- Reactivate the yeast according to pack instructions if using dried active yeast otherwise skip this step.
- In a large bowl mix together the flours, salt, thyme, red pepper and walnuts and then add the yeast, water and olive oil. Mix everything together into a dough and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Take care not to let the peppers and nuts 'jump' out of the dough. Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and leave to rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Knock back the dough and knead for a minute and then divide into 10 equal pieces, I like to weigh mine so they are all the same. Flatten out each piece of dough and place a piece of goats cheese in the middle, wrap the dough around the goats cheese and shape the dough into a ball. Place the rolls onto a non stick baking tray and cover with lightly oiled cling film and leave to rise for about 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 200C and then bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, cool on a wire rack and then enjoy warm whilst the cheese is still melted and gooey.
Disclaimer: I was sent a hamper including Capricorn Goats Cheese to provide inspiration to develop new recipes, all opinions expressed are my own.
I've also entered this recipe into Bake Your Own Bread hosted by Heather from GirliChef, Michelle from Delectable Musings & Connie from My Discovery of Bread and also into yeast spotting. As I've used fresh thyme these rolls are also going into Herbs On Saturday hosted by Karen from Lavender & Lovage.

Hi all. I bought this unlabeled hoya and would like to know what kind it is specifically. It looks a lot like a Hindu Rope hoya except that the leaves are much thinner / crisper and the color is a yellow / very light green. In fact, it might not even be a hoya since the leaves are so much thinner, but that's my best guess so far. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The leaves on the stems are arranged in an alternate pattern so your plant is not a Hoya. Hoya leaves are arranged opposite each other along the vines. A Peperomia cultivar maybe? Mike |
- Posted by eye_love_begonias 9a (My Page) on Fri, Nov 9, 12 at 10:05
I think you have a type of 'Devil's Backbone' Euphorbia. It may be a new cultivar or introduction. |
- Posted by daffodilian none (My Page) on Fri, Nov 9, 12 at 11:42
Thanks for the suggestions. The plant does look a lot like the Variegated Devil's Backbone plant, only with the leaves very twisted up. Couldn't find a specific matching cultivar via Google images but I'll keep trying. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Variegated Devil's Backbone

Think that it gives South St Petersburg a bad name? It is for sale. For One…Million…Dollars. Or in return for the conviction of the killer of my cat. |
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
South St Petersburg is full of crackheads, crack-whores, crackpots, burglars, child beaters, killers, dealers, dopeheads, drones, hustlers, hookers, criminals, junkies, the impoverished, rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.
The last part from rustlers onwards came from Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles, but it paints a picture of the assortment of villains that is found in the South St Pete zip codes. It is a dump. Full of criminals, drugs and the impoverished (in every sense of the word(. The terrorist community south of Central has no interest in self rehabilitation. We should take all those dollars being stupidly spend on walls to keep out illegal immigrants, and build it around South St Pete. Illegal immigrants are preferable to some who are already here.
The purpose of the South St Petersburg web site is to obtain justice. On April 12, 2008, the cruel beating and ultimately the killing of a pet Siamese cat in the Historic Kenwood area of North St Petersburg took place. The perpetrator was seen and described as someone typical of the profile of persons most commonly associated with crime, especially violent crime, in South St Petersburg. The incident happened just a three blocks north of Central Ave and the criminal was seen heading South after the crime. As we write, it is 3 weekss til the Statute of Limitations expires for Amy's killer (April 12, 2013). If so, congrats to South St Pete. You protected another criminal.
In the time since then, we set up two web sites founded on achieving justice for Amy, the first, about the crime and an appeal to the good nature of human beings to provide information that would lead to an arrest and conviction. Unfortunately, we were misguided in that belief. Even the reward of $4500 wouldn't provide sufficient impetus for the people of South St Pete to do the right thing. The second, focused on St Petersburg Crime, and that got a lot of attention, however, our belief that the people of Saint Pete would feel some sense of needing to reciprocate was totally unfounded. We did set up this web site to enable people to see what is happening in South St Petersburg and other parts of the city, called St Petersburg Police Crime Reports. Ultimately due to the apathy which condemns St Petersburg to a grim future meant that we no longer had the resources to continue the web site. This third and last site has two goals,
- to shame the people of South St Pete to finally yielding up their demon brother, and
- knowing that 1 is totally unlikely, use the principles of community responsibility and the trickle down effect to provide some sort of punishment for the instigator of this brutal act.
Let's stop pretending that South St Petersburg is somewhere that can be repaired. It
cannot. It should be quarantined, sequestered, isolated and fenced off. We want to bring attention to the problem that is South St Pete. This will serve the dual purpose of preventing anyone from experiencing the problems that we experienced there, and also to serve notice on the community there that protecting criminals is something that will cause more pain than they currently experience. The only way that the South Side will change is through the following agents: Lots of bulldozers, or a very well placed hurricane.
This site is currently in a transitional phase. We have lots of content, that we are copying and pasting into it. Hopefully, leading up to April, we can get the content loaded in and tightened up, the interface and WordPress theme finalized. Please be patient and feel free to contribute or contact us if you want.
Let's look at the truth about St Petersburg. Don't listen to the real estate agents, the property developers, the City or the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. Here is the truth:
St Petersburg is the saddest city in the USA.
St Petersburg is the saddest city in the USA. That is not just an opinion, that is a fact, according to a survey by Men's Health magazine.
The article, from British newspaper The Daily Mail, says:
"Having a Guinness World Record for 768 straight days of sunshine did nothing for the state's fourth largest city – deemed to be a hotbed for suicides and anti-depressant pill poppers.
"The unemployment hotspot of Detroit, Michigan, unsurprisingly followed close behind, with third place in the 'Frown Town' stakes going to Memphis, Tennessee."
Note that all three cities are notorious for out of control crime, especially violent crime.
Most And Least Christian Cities In America
Tampa-St Pete is 2nd last! That really surprised us in conservative Florida. Maybe what goes on there is enough to knock the love of God out of anyone.
Most And Least Christian Cities In America
Crime in St Petersburg, FL
Small Town Economy, Big City Crime
St Petersburg is #31 for violent crime in the USA
Imagine if South St Petersburg was a city by itself. It may very well make the top ten, with a "bullet".
St Petersburg has the highest rate of violent crime in Florida. Higher than Miami.
Downtown St. Pete: 8th most dangerous neighborhood in the country for property crime?
95% of cities in the US are safer for crime than St Petersburg FL.
It wasn't that long ago that the streets of South St Pete were on fire with destruction and havoc:
Quoting Somerset Maugham, it's "a sunny place for shady people".
St. Petersburg ranked 2nd meanest city toward homeless.
St Petersburg attracts a lot of homeless people, and earns a reputation for treating them meanly.
People are leaving St Petersburg, FL.
CNN says that St Petersburg is one of the Best shrinking places to live
Population 2010: 244,760
Drop since 2000: -1.4%
There is a reason it is shrinking! The crime and the economy. The reality is people are moving out of St Pete. The population dropped 3000 as 3 million moved to FL.
Across Tampa Bay, in Hillsborough County, 300,000 people moved in.
If one person decides not to buy a home for sale there, or buy some gum, or start a business, then we will have succeeded.

So I have this school project to make something using pressed flower. I chose frangipani, and I dried it for 5 days with the-heavy-book technique, but somehow it turned to brown. Is there any way to re-color it? I've tried to paint it with poster paint, but it looks unnatural. Or is there any way to press flower or leaf that just takes a day or less? I'm really running out of time, and I need your advice. Thank you! |

There is a special dye made specifically for pressed flowers that looks very natural. It doesn't cover, it only colors, so you can still see the details like shading differences and veining. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pressed Flower Dye

The election is close. Very close. Let's do a run down of what we currently believe will be the closest states on election day:
The above chart is clipped from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight.com. The number furthest to the left is the average of the numbers to the right which are themselves either straight up averages of polls or averages with some sort of weighting system built in.
The biggest thing I noticed was the Florida average. Romney is only up by .6 points. Everything we've heard has pretty much said that FL was Romney's to lose. This throws that thinking out. I lived in Missouri in 2008. It's the only time I've ever lived in a state that was contested in a presidential election. It was amazing to me. Maybe that's because I don't watch much teevee. I was at the the Obama rally that drew 100,000 people:
On election day that year I went to an Obama field office, and volunteered to knock on doors. It was kind of difficult. Not because people weren't nice, they were, but I just never randomly knocked on anyone's door before. Whatever difficulty I felt though was overwhelmed by the amazing feelings I had. The feeling of civic duty was there, but most of all it was the feeling of trying to help a man who I wholeheartedly believed, and still believe, in. Not to mention he would be the 1st non-white man to be POTUS in the history of this country.
Get Out The Vote. GOTV. That's what I was trying to do that day. This weekend we need to GOTV for this man again. The alternative is a man who inspires no one, and even those who support him see Romney as the snake oil salesman he really is:
Romney's shape-shifting nature would induce him to govern as a center-right moderate.
Emphasis mine. That's David Brooks today in an op-ed where he's actually endorsing Romney for President of the United States of America. The op-ed is titled "The Upside of Opportunism." I shit you not. Can we let this man become president? NO! Can we let a man who cares not for the right of women to control their bodies sit in the Oval Office day in, and day out? NO! Can we let a man who wants to put even more money in the pockets of rich folks become POTUS? FUCK NO! So if you live in Wisconsin, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire, North Carolina or Iowa (cue Dean Scream!) we need boots on the ground. We need you to go knock on doors. We need you to be poll watchers. We need you. Our country needs you. People's lives are at stake.
Health care is probably the most important issue in this election, because what the political press nor candidates themselves will tell you is that the president actually holds very little sway over the national economy. And as I've alluded to, health care is absolutely life, and death. Country to popular belief, just going to the emergency room is not health care. Not in any real sense of course. As anyone (like me) who's actually had to use the ER as a family "doctor" will tell you, the ER sucks as health care if you're not potentially close to death.
So we have a choice. It's the same choice I had in 2008. Sit on my ass or Get Out The Vote. I chose the latter. I'm imploring you to do the same this year. The candidates have not talked about or only mentioned in passing many of the issues that are close to my heart, but I know who's closest to what I believe in. I know who will actually work for the most vulnerable if pushed, and given the chance. That man is Barack Obama.
We've got a lot of work to do, because even if you're not in one of the states above, we can make calls. If you do, get down to an Obama field office, and volunteer. At the very least go out, and vote. Our work will make all the difference in the election.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Jul 2014 -- Firefox Falls Out of Favor
Firefox was our browser of choice for many years. Over the past 18 months or so, it has us scratching our head wondering what happened.
Firefox uses too much memory. This makes it very slow on older PCs, and slower than Chrome on any PC. Windows uses memory to run programs, and with Firefox open it might consume all memory Windows has set aside for programs, both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer use far less memory for the same web content.
Since Internet Explorer is not safe at any speed, we're switching to recommending Google Chrome, and switching customers to Chrome unless they have a preference.

Annik Honoré, the inspiration for "Love Will Tear Us Apart", dies aged 56
Annik Honoré, the Belgian music promoter and journalist, has died aged 56, according to reports.
Honoré was best known for her relationship with Ian Curtis, who she met in London in 1979.
Born on October 12, 1957, in Belgium, Honoré moved to London in 1979, where she became a secretary at the Belgian Embassy.
Later that year, Honoré and journalist Michel Duval began promoting shows at Plan K in Brussels. Joy Division performed on the club's opening night on October 16.
In 1980, Honoré and Duval founded Factory Records imprint Factory Benelux, as well as the independent Belgian music label Les Disques du Crépuscule.
Les Disques du Crépuscule released records by Michael Nyman, Josef K, Cabaret Voltaire, Gavin Bryars, The Pale Fountains, and the cassette, From Brussels With Love, which included contributions from John Foxx, Thomas Dolby, Bill Nelson, Brian Eno and Durutti Column.
Honoré left the music business in the 1980s and worked for the EU in Brussels.
Speaking about her relationship with Ian Curtis in a 2010 Honoré said, "It was a completely pure and platonic relationship, very childish, very chaste... I did not have a sexual relationship with Ian, he was on medication, which rendered it a non-physical relationship. I am so fed up that people question my word or his: people can say whatever they want, but I am the only person to have his letters... One of his letters says that the relationship with his wife Deborah had already finished prior to us meeting each other."
Honoré died in July 3, after a serious illness.

Erik Spoelstra undecided on who starts with James, Wade, and Bosh
James, Wade and Chris Bosh are the only set starters. ``I do want to make a point of being open minded going into camp,'' Spoelstra said. ``LeBron and Dwyane will be handling the ball quite often. Mario and Carlos will be handling the ball quite often. Mike Miller has a great skill set to be able to handle the ball. Whether LeBron starts [at point guard] or not, is not a high priority right now. I want to get into training camp and get a better feel for this team.''
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: The Three Kings run the show. Everybody else gets in where they fit in.
This is Miami Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra's philosophy before training camp starts in two weeks. Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade will star; everybody else is interchangeable.
The Heat – after their summer overhaul - is a new team. Chemistry must develop. And teammates must have a chance to forge relationships on and off court.
Why would Spoelstra box himself in by naming his other two starters now?
He, instead, stated the obvious: LeBron and Wade will serve as primary ball handlers. Both will see time at point guard, while Bosh will establish a presence down low.
There are a few other givens. Shooters Eddie House and Mike Miller will figure into the mix to prevent defences from double-teaming Bosh, James, and Wade. A platoon of bigs will man the center spot, allowing 'CB4' to play power forward.
Miami will go as far as their Three Kings will take them, but the role players must also perform. And those role players will have to emerge.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
Stan Van Gundy on Pat Riley`s complaining: 'I was kind of amused by it'
``I thought it was pretty typical. I was kind of amused by it, especially reading down through the interview,'' Van Gundy said. ``He goes into Charles Barkley, me and Otis and then says he doesn't worry about what people say. Wait, you called the press conference, you went off and everybody and you don't care what people say? Clearly, he cares a great deal about what people say. I was laughing when I saw that.''
Van Gundy wasn't laughing when he read that Riley ripped him and Smith for questioning why James and Bosh would rather team together with Dwyane Wade in Miami rather than trying to win a championship on their own. Riley said the comment was ``an absolutely stupid remark,'' but several former great players such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Barkley reaffirmed that they would have never jumped ship on their teams simply as a way to chase a championship.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It's safe to say the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic don't like each other. Not one bit.
However, Pat Riley, the Heat's lead executive, and Stan Van Gundy, the Magic's coach, don't just dislike each other –they hate each other.
Van Gundy was once Riley's lead assistant on Miami's bench. Back then, these two trusted each other. These two liked each other. And these two enjoyed a student-mentor relationship.
When Riley retired from coaching, it was Van Gundy he picked as his successor. Of course, The Oil Slick couldn't stay away from the spotlight, so he fired his former protégé one season after trading for Shaquille O'Neal.
Riley claimed the move was about helping the Heat win an NBA Title –which they did. Van Gundy claimed Riley put a knife in his back.
Whoever's version you believe, their split was personal.
For a few years, Van Gundy held the edge over Riley because the Magic were Eastern Conference powers, advancing to the Finals in 2009.
The Three Kings changed the balance of power. Riley's Heat now has momentum. And this, perhaps, prompted Magic GM Otis Smith and Van Gundy to publicly slag Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Riley.
So Riley responded. And Van Gundy, who never met a microphone he didn't like, fired back.
The players will decide the battle of Florida on-court. Expect Riley and Van Gundy's grudge match to extend well beyond 2011.
--Oly Sandor.

My favourite is the Simply Love Hibiscus. Your picture looks much nicer than the one on the Veseys website. Did you start them from seed in the house? If so, would it be difficult for someone who's only started from seed in the house once, and it was marigolds? |
When I grew it the first time I started inside under grow lights. I planted that one in the garden and it always reseeded. Then we moved and I wanted another one. Since they reseed so well, I winter sowed it. I imagine you could actually plant the seeds directly to. I prefer to w/s because I can then control the environment and keep mice/rabbits or other pests away from the seedling. If you want some seeds, I will be putting up a trade list soon and I have some.

State laws meant to keep teens out of indoor tanning booths haven't made a dent, a new study has found, disappointing doctors hoping to reduce deadly skin cancers. The researchers say it's not clear why the laws failed, but pointed to lax enforcement as a factor.
The study is the first to look at the laws' impact. Some medical experts were disturbed by the findings, saying more needs to be done about the health threat from indoor tanning parlors. "Basically, these are businesses that are exposing teenagers to carcinogens," said Jeffrey Sosman, MD, a melanoma researcher at Vanderbilt University, who was not involved in the new study.
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and has been linked to childhood sunburns. An estimated 30 million Americans are customers of the nation's 25,000 indoor tanning businesses, according to the Indoor Tanning Association. The organization argues that indoor tanning, when done properly, can improve health.
Tanning parlors are popular with girls and young women. As many as one in three girls use indoor tanning, some studies suggest. Researchers say the rates may be even higher among female college students.
U.S. cases of melanoma have been increasing. It's not clear to what extent indoor tanning has played a role in that trend, but people who start indoor tanning when they're young have a higher risk of melanoma, scientists say. Melanoma can almost always be cured if caught early.

Version and / or Patch Used: 22.214.171.124
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.pcmark.com/benchmarks/
PCMark 7 is a great utility for testing a PC's all-around capabilities. It tests all aspects of the computer, from graphics performance to hard disk performance and attempts to put a score on it, which is not an easy task.
Due to updating PCMark 7 to its latest version, we've had to archive our previous results as they are incompatible with the new version.
A PCMark7 score of 5667 is mainly shows that this system features a weaker CPU and that the SSD is plugged into the wrong SATA port. It's still a respectable score though.

I stayed here for a night while traveling for work and loved it. This beautiful old hotel has been totally updated, with a massive bathroom and tub, iPod docks and new decor. The hotel bar was crowded and had knowledgable (if aloof) bar staff. A great pick for your stay in LA.

WASHINGTON, April 9, 2013 — If you live around the Washington area you won't need to travel far to enjoy a little "staycation" or "daycation" with your four legged best friend. With Washington D.C. coming in at number five in a recent list of dog-friendly cities compiled by the NerdWallet.com, there are plenty of things to do right in the playland of the nation's capital.
First of all, Washington D.C. is a great city for dog lovers because it's extremely walkable, has loads of dog friendly parks and surprisingly, welcomes leashed canine family members at several of the city's famous tourist attractions. Dog lovers can enjoy the iconic sights with faithful canines in tow.
Sightseeing with Dogs in Washington D.C.
Take an afternoon to enjoy a calming boat ride on the Potomac with Capital River Cruises. You and your dog can spend an hour floating by most of the major attractions downtown, including the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and Roosevelt Island along with the many unforgettable monuments. Or, you might choose to steer your own boat by renting one from the historic Fletcher's Boat House that has been around since the 1850s.

Friday Notes
Now that the full squad has reported, they've all officially worked out and we've seen all sorts of pictures of all that happening, I'm ready for something to actually happen. The next date to circle on your calendar is Thursday when the Royals and Rangers play the first game of the spring for the two teams. Then we can finally hear more than who looks good in the cages and who has the best changeup during his side session and how glorious the tattoos of Mike Moustakas are. Or how they were way overstated. You know, whatever. Either way, there's real baseball to talk about soon, so we can all rest easy.
- Unfortunately, real baseball hasn't started yet, so we're still talking about free agents and the like. This week, the Orioles signed Ubaldo Jimenez to a four year, $50 million deal. Jimenez and Ervin Santana were the top two remaining pitchers on the market, which means Santana is now the top remaining pitcher on the market. There's been some discussion recently about if Dayton Moore made a huge mistake in not letting the market play out and bringing back Santana. I don't think he did for a couple reasons. One, while I guess in hindsight he did misread the market (again), I don't think anybody saw Santana's situation unfolding quite like this, so it would be difficult to jump on Moore for that. Two, I'm not entirely sure that Santana couldn't have been had by the Royals a few weeks ago if not for his agent. From what I understand, it's the agency causing the holdup here with some unrealistic demands. Would I prefer it if the Royals had Santana in 2014 instead of Jason Vargas? Absolutely, but I'm just saying Dayton Moore didn't make a massive mistake here. The market is just making everyone look a little silly.
- We talked about this on the podcast this week, but very interesting to see the public news that Dan Glass said the Royals might be willing to sell if the situation was right. Of course, in the interview, he made it sound like it would have to be the rarest of rare situations, but you still never know. Now, I'm not someone who pins the failures of this organization on the Glass family entirely, at least not in the last few years, but I will admit they aren't the absolute best ownership group out there. As I've said before, the Royals have a payroll that is high enough to win, so it's hard to fault Glass for that. Still, to have a local ownership group would be kind of cool and the Cerner guys said again that they'd be willing to talk if the Royals were willing to listen. Maybe that's not really news right now, but it's something worth paying attention to in the future.
- For some reason, Mike Moustakas has been of interest to me most of this off-season, and it isn't because the Royals could really stand for him to become a competent big league hitter. The reason I've been thinking about him is that he actually is sort of valuable because he can play a little defense and can pop a few homers. Now, his value decreased massively if he's forced to be a key cog in a lineup, but if he can hit seventh or lower in a lineup, I think he could be a benefit to this team and I might even consider offering him a bit of an extension to lock him up into free agency. Before you jump through your computer screen to strangle me, the deal would have to be very friendly, which means ultimately very easy to trade. I could see a deal like 5 years and $32 million that starts with the 2015 season making some sense for him. The value would go $2.5 million, $5 million, $7.5 million, $8 million, $9 million with like a $13 million option or something. Considering his defense has been well above average, he should be worth that money over the course of his deal and if he does break out offensively, then they have a huge bargain. It's probably crazy, but just one of those random things that rolls around in my head to get the organization some cost certainty.
- There's a lot of people who seem to think that Carlos Peguero has a real shot to make this Royals roster, but I just don't see how he fits. A recent article by Jeffrey Flanagan indicates that a scout in the American League (probably a Royals scout is my guess) believes that Peguero can be a 40 home run hitter in the big leagues. Whether he can or can't, he's not much of a hitter right now and there's just no place for him on the roster. Peguero hasn't been a total zero against lefties in the minors, but the Royals have two left-handed bats in their corner outfield and I don't see how Peguero can play center field. The only fit for him goes back to something we've talked about a lot and that's if the Royals feel Aoki can handle center on an extended basis because they can't go into a season counting on 150 games from Lorenzo Cain. It's an interesting story and I think the Royals want Peguero to succeed, but ultimately, there just isn't the space for him on this particular team.
- A lot has been made about how the Royals rotation has gotten worse from 2013, and I've been someone who has been saying that for awhile. I'm not sure it's a guarantee, though, because while the Royals are going to lose a very, very valuable starter, I think there's a good chance the rotation as a whole might be about the same. In 986.2 innings last year, Royals starters posted a 3.87 ERA. The two main holdovers from that rotation, Jeremy Guthrie and James Shields posted a 3.58 ERA between them in 440.1 innings. I know the projections don't like Guthrie and I know I didn't and don't love the signing, but I think it's fairly safe to say he'll be about average again and Shields should be pretty darn good again. What's left is 546.1 innings of 4.10 ERA baseball. I think there's a case to be made that some combination of Jason Vargas, Bruce Chen, Yordano Ventura, Danny Duffy and Kyle Zimmer can post those numbers. If they do, the rotation won't take a step back like many of us believe is possible. And that would be very nice. I still worry about regression form a bullpen that was so good that even a regression would leave them as one of the best in baseball, but that's a discussion for another day.

Thank you! I have been making the case that the rotation may not regress as much as people think (or at all) for the last month or so. I've been approaching it differently, though. I just think about the 39 starts made between Wade Davis and Louis Mendoza, which weren't just below average. They were super bad, something approximating a 5.30 ERA in 39 starts. I don't understand how people think to themselves "Well, the Royals are losing Santana's 3.24 ERA in 32 starts so they'll regress," and they conveniently forget the abysmal starts from Davis and Mendoza, as if those are going to automatically roll over from last season. It will be tough to replace the production of Santana, but the replacements don't need to do that. They need to replace the average production of Davis, Mendoza, and Santana. That is not nearly as difficult. In fact, I think there's a chance they exceed those numbers. Average those pitchers together, and it's 4.33 ERA over 440 IP. If Vargas, Duffy, and Ventura (I'm not counting Chen because he's sort of a holdover from last year) can't somehow do that, the Royals were never going to be in good shape. But I think they can do that, and I think they have a good chance of besting that. The question is can Shields, Chen, and Guthrie duplicate their production from last year?

All Cerner would have to do is offer half a billion and contract to keep the team here for twenty years. Not really much to talk about but an actual offer would carry some weight.

hi all, we will be doing an addition project which requires us to take out some plants. we don't want to throw them out but instead replant them at different location once the construction completes. what will be a cost effective way to relocate and put the plants temporarily for 1/2 a year and not killing them all. |
Follow-Up Postings:
can we use some concrete blocks to block out some corner at the yard, dig up the plants and move then there and fill with additional soil. will that work? do we have to plant them in the ground properly? |
If you could pot them up in nursery containers, it would make the second move in 6 months easier. Otherwise, heel them in (loose planting) in some loose soil mixture, probably containing a lot of not too large bark nuggets or coarse (like from a chain saw) sawdust. Heeling them in, in a corral of concrete blocks or landscape timbers would be fine. |

I have found lots of info about heights to hang, but not much about general "rules" about pendant size in relation to the island. My island is about 65" x 30", we are planning for 2 pendant lights and the electrician appears to have placed them roughly 36" apart. What size of pendant should I be looking at?
If it matters, in my preliminary search, I seem to be drawn more to spherical shapes, so will probably have roughly the same width as height. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Tue, Feb 21, 12 at 23:02
I would draw this out yourself but I would want between two and three "widths" of whatever pendant you chose to fit between them, as a minimum based upon how they sit on the overall length of the peninsula. I think three + widths is good unless you are going for an overscaled look You could go very small with something that was spherical and elaborate (like the Schoenbeck crystal orbs, not that I am suggesting them) and go larger as you get simpler, but I would generally want the breathing room I mentioned above. So if you had a 6" orb: there would be 30 inches between them because 3" of each orb would be inside the 36" boundary. If you went with a 12" orb they would have 24" between them which would be the absolute max I would go with a big plain globe, (12" is Big")...8" orbs would give 28" in between. |

Oh lord, math makes my head hurt ;) Thanks for the advice, I was hoping to be on a smaller scale simply due to cost. I don't want them to be overscale, but don't want them to look lost and lonely either. So, it looks like those that are in the category of "mini-pendants" would work (my wallet likes the sound of that). |
I am a visual person. I need to see to really feel it. If you can search for the pendants you like or search on google for pendants over islands (kitchens of course). See what you like for a pendant. And then find out the measurements. Take a cardboard box or paper bag to create the size and approx shape. Hang it in the space above your island to get a feel for the size you like or dislike. Of course math works too but I like to see to really feel ~boxer |

Oh, boxer, the pendants in your first pic are gorgeous!! Any idea where you found that photo? Any leads that might get me info on those pendants would be much appreciated! :) [Sorry to highjack, kellienoelle!] |
- Posted by fouramblues (My Page) on Wed, Feb 22, 12 at 10:13
Oh, nevermind. :( Found the pendants on modernniche.com, and they're $650 each!!! |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 22, 12 at 11:19
Thanks for the pictures boxer! I finally got my husband to sit down and look with me to get a feel for his preferences and it seems that he favors the industrial look. Maybe not my first choice but definitely something that I had been looking at as well. I like that second one (Thomas O'Brien Hicks?), but a little too pricey for me (was hoping to stay under $300 each). Husband likes the RH Benson Pendants, which come in 7" but I am a bit concerned about how "direct" the light will be and if it will illuminate the entire island. Also think #10 would be a nice compromise, where did you find it? |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 22, 12 at 12:16
Any thoughts on this one? My husband likes it, the price is right, but unfortunately it is 12", so at the upper end, but maybe it will work. I read that hanging some balloons from the ceiling in a similar size is a way to get a general idea, so maybe I will try that. |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Wed, Feb 22, 12 at 12:48
Something to keep in mind about the one you just posted. It will only throw light down. If you have other lighting, no problem. Before this reno, we had 2 copper lights that the light only shined on the counter and the other one was over the table. There was no other lighting...it was very dark, except under the lights. But those are beautiful. I'm going through the same sort of thing trying to figure out how big my chandy can be over my 4x8+ island. Good Luck |
I love that light! |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 22, 12 at 13:04
We have some recessed lighting, are adding in lights in our lighted uppers, under cabinet lighting, over the sink lighting, all in addition to the pendants so I think we will be OK if they only light up the island. Since we are going with darker cabinets I was paranoid about it looking to dark so fingers crossed that I will have enough lighting! Question though, I have been looking mostly at nickel/chrome finishes figuring it would match the faucet, appliances, and cabinet hardware. Then I had a big "aha" moment when I walked into the kitchen and glanced at the ceiling fan in the attached eat in are with an oil rubbed bronze finish. We have the exact same ceiling fan in the family room, which is visible, but not completely open to the kitchen. I hadn't planned on replacing them. So...they have the same option in oil rubbed bronze (unfortunately for about $30 more), would that look ok with my finishes? or should I consider sticking with nickel/chrome and just changing out the ceiling fan instead? My cabinets are cherry stained med/dark, so the oil rubbed bronze would tie in with them, color wise. Boy, I am really tired of making decisions! Just when I think I am narrowing things down another pops up! |
