Actually, he is a 1v1 pwning machine too.
Has anyone every tried Aura Nasus? I'd be interested to know, since the tankyness, lifesteal, and manaregen all seem to help him out while doing the team a huge favor. Meanwhile he's not completely useless himself as his spells are full of support, even though admittedly, SS will probably used less than is desired.
Junior Member
i felt the same way when i first started playing nasus. on paper he looks to be more of a dps champ but if you build him this way you get shot down too quickly in every team battle. so make him more of tank in the beginning to give some survivability then get some dps, unless your team needs a pure tank. your ult + sf + ss puts out some huge dmg especially if you have a sheen/triforce. i usually rush triforce --> aegis this its up to you... lifesteal is a good option. for summoner spells i've had good success w/ cleanse/ghost combo so you can get out of stuns etc. and to chase those fast enemies w/ wither.
Rushing tri-force is bad. Lifesteal items are bad. DPS items in general are bad.
He's definitely an off tank. He's no Alistar or Shen when it comes to absorbing damage, but in a team fight he can be tough to bring down if he has a couple of tank items. He's also very difficult to ignore in team fights because of his insane aoe super saiyan mode.
if i see one more person suggest getting triforce as a core item im gonna rage
best snare/disable IN THE GAME.
Actually his DPS is insanely powerful, the reason that people build him as a tank is because otherwise he will get focused to death every fight that he ults... with Starks + Infinity Edge, he pops his skills in a teamfight... his attack damage will go >400, and he is lowering enemy armor by 60, throw a siphon in there and he's critting for 1000, easily... with decent attack speed and 45% lifesteal.

Cool! Love the dino pic with the Disney Triva bag in its teeth .Did you go on Hulk and Dueling Dragons? DD is best in the front row when you can see the other train comin' straight at ya. May have to make a trip over soon to see what has been done since last December.
We were drenched at Busch yesterday, but rode in the FRONT ROW of Sheikra. Cannot describe it. My friend was like I was like . A young girl that was in our group was kicked off of Kumba. There was a small discussion between two of the ride hosts-one said she was the correct height, the other booted her off the ride. The kicker was-the folks looking after her were we stuck on the ride and the girl had to wait by herself doing this:. I was up front and the rest of the gang was at the tail end of the train. I am still upset about that.
The most thrilling ride: Cheeta Chase!! Felt like I was going to fly off the edge of the track car and all!

I have spent $500 on the diagnosis of my 3 year old female cat's kidney stones - there are two dime to penny sized stones in the bladder. The vet wants to remove them surgically at a cost of $765 including anesthesia, IV fluids, and 1 day of hospitalization. Is this a good price or should I check with another vet that was recommended by a few of my neighbors? I love my cat, but it is really stretching it to pay for the surgery this month.
The vet seemed to think it would be okay for us to wait a month or so for the surgery until we can build up some more cash to pay for the surgery. She said we just need to keep her on the antibiotics. I'm worried that she could get stopped up and the bladder rupture, incurring a much larger vet bill and perhaps end up with a very poor outcome for the cat. Do any of you have experience with this? Thanks. |

That's almost exactly the same price that I got quoted today for the same surgery. Our cat has 3 to 4 very small stones in her bladder and we are opting for now to treat with antibiotics and a prescription diet for 4 weeks and then take another x-ray to see if the stones have dissolved. If the stones do not dissolve we have to see what we want to do. Good luck with your kitty. Katharina |

I would get her to another vet immediately. Kidney stones are not anything to mess around with, and are very painful to Kitty, especially ones that large. Antibiotics won't help the problem, she needs to be treated at least with pain meds. Definitely get her some kidney diet canned food, most regular cat food is bad for kitties with kidney problems. We had the same thing happen with our cat last year, but we spent $6000 (yes, that IS three zeros behind the six!) because the first surgery did get all the stones but she developed more immediately. She was at an emergency hospital which is more expensive, but that also has the benefits of many vets on staff as well as students, so she was well diagnosed and cared for. After the second surgery and six ultrasounds, she was better but still developing the stones. The vet said we could do another surgery or take her home and let nature take its course. I chose to take her home. When we got home, I had a talk with her. I told her I loved her so very much and wanted her to stick around on this earth for a while longer, but she had to decide. Within days she was gaining weight, and within a week she was as playful as a kitten again. To this day she acts like a 1 year old, not the 10 she will turn in a few months. Fortunately for us it wasn't her time, but I wouldn't have done anything differently. The cost is something that "if" with pets, it is "when". Many pets don't just pass away peacefully, they let you know they are sick, and pet owners need to be prepared financially. It comes with the territory. I wish you the best of luck with your kitty, but please get a second opinion. Perhaps the vet can work out a payment system with you, but this isn't something that can wait until you can afford it. Stones that large are so painful. Keep us posted. |
- Posted by glaserberl (My Page) on Fri, Sep 11, 09 at 7:50
Is it bladder or kidney stones? Kathy you said kidney stones first and then mentioned that they are in her bladder. Dime to penny sized sounds large to me. I looked at our cats x-ray and 2 dime size stones would fill her bladder completely. That said we were told our cat has a small bladder. I agree with Michelle. If they are truly kidney stones I would get another opinion. |
KIDNEY stones are not BLADDER stones. KIDNEY stones are in the KIDNEY while BLADDER stones are in the BLADDER. In fact, you should specify which bladder, since the gall bladder can also develop stones. KIDNEY stones are extremely difficult to remove and that surgery is usually referred to a specialist unless the entire kidney is affected and the vet decides to remove the entire affected kidney. Some vets won't even remove a kidney because of potential anesthetic complications (namely bleeding). Also you have to do special testing to make sure the remaining kidney is adequately functioning prior to surgery if you are going to remove a kidney or a kidney stone. BLADDER stones are much easier to remove since they are just floating around in the bladder. However if the cat blocks while waiting for surgery, that is a life-threatening emergency surgery. If you have to go to an emergency vet for surgery, it will be much more expensive. If the cat is blocked for a significant amount of time, the cat would suffer greatly as toxins that should be excreted through urine get re-absorbed into the body and cause pain. Electrolytes often become unbalanced and need to be corrected prior to surgery or serious anesthetic consequences can result. Also permanent kidney damage can result due to physical pressure of urine backing up into the kidneys and from the toxins. I just unblocked a small dog with BLADDER stones, and everything came to just under $800. That included pre and post surgical x-rays, IV fluids, hospitalization, surgery, stone analysis, urine culture, CBC, chemistry profile, fentanyl patch and other pain meds. My patient had no complications from being blocked as he was presented immediately for surgery (was urinating fine just 12 hours before surgery). I would have charged a LOT more to remove KIDNEY stones because it is a more complicated surgery, and there is more testing to do. I hope your cat really has BLADDER stones and does well with everything. |
I just saw in a magazine as ad for a prescription diet for bladder stones. It was made by Hill's. Has your vet given you the option to try something like this? I have heard of it, don't know if it works. Maybe it only works if they are really small. |
- Posted by glaserberl (My Page) on Sat, Sep 12, 09 at 9:49
Not to hijack this thread, but that is what our cat is on right now in addition to the antibiotic. We are hoping that the stones will dissolve, if not she will have to have surgery. I believe there are two kind of stones. One that will dissolve and one that won't. Our concern is at the moment that she has very little appetite, but seems to like the Hill's S/D. I would like her to eat the canned variety, but she prefers the dry. She only takes a few nibbles, but that's better than nothing. I can't let the food sit out, because the other two cats and the dog will eat it. |
My dog had bladder stones which were struvite. This type of stone, and this type only, can be dissolved with S/D food. It worked great with Max the second time he got bladder stones. The first time, he blocked so he had surgery. It can take a couple of months for the stones to dissolve, and S/D is very fattening. But being a Lab, he'll eat anything... If the pet has calcium oxalate stones and not struvite stones, S/D will make everything much worse. |
- Posted by glaserberl (My Page) on Sat, Sep 12, 09 at 19:12
Meghane, we should probably have the surgery to remove the stones instead of feeding s/d for a month. She had no crystals in her urine and from what I have reading with struvite stones there are usually crystals in the urine. Is that correct? Our reg. vet whom I trust is not back until Tuesday and we have been dealing with the urgent care vet that was recommended by our vet's vet tech. Cleo is definitively feeling better. She is back to partaking in her usual daily routine. She is back to using the litter box (still peeing small amounts, but no visible blood) and eating a little. |

Kathy, how is your kitty doing? And are they kidney or bladder stones? Please drop us a line, we are all worried about your kitty! |
Meghane, How common is kidney stones in cats? I have had 15 cats over my lifetime and none ever had them. Just wondering. |
Kidney stones are not that common. At least not diagnosed that often. I've had several cases recently because of cats in acute renal failure- I take rads for prognosis; stones in the kidneys are a VERY poor prognostic indicator. I'll bet a lot of older cats with chronic renal failure eventually develop kidney stones but it is never diagnosed because the owner and vet already knows about the CRF and when the cat no longer responds to everything that is being done, whether or not there are kidney stones is moot. The point being, you don't know kidney stones are NOT there unless you look. Bladder stones are not uncommon in cats. |

Dontcha love it when someone asks a question, you take time to respond and help the poster, then they never come back to even say thanks? I hope that this thread helps someone out there! |
- Posted by glaserberl (My Page) on Tue, Sep 29, 09 at 15:37
I'm not the OP, but I wanted to let you know that Cleo did not have surgery. Our vet who likes a conservative approach gave us the option, but said that her stones are so tiny that he couldn't believe that they gave her so much trouble. She is on a Chinese powdered herb mixture for a few month. He said he had could success with it dissolving stones in dogs, cats won't usually eat it. We tricked her by mixing it with Nature's Variety raw, frozen diet. Too yummy to pass up. She is back to her old self. No sign of infection, eating well and being playful. Katharina |
Glad Cleo is doing well. I use herbs sometimes too. |
- Posted by michelle_phxaz (My Page) on Sun, Oct 4, 09 at 7:29
Great to hear, I thought they were large stones, the OP said they were dime/penny size which is large! Best of luck with kitty! Just make sure she stays hydrated and keep an eye on her litterbox habits. |

Hi I have a little herb garden in a planter box in my backyard which has lemon balm, cilantro, parsley and apple mint. This morning I just noticed groups on bugs at the bottom of the leaves on climatology and parsley. What are them? Red spider mites? Is it harmful to my herbs? What's the remedy? Anything would help! Just a side note, I live in Southern California. So it does get pretty warm during the day. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow - amazing magnification! Terrifying giant fingernail! That's an aphid. They suck sap and can cause distortion and spread viruses. You can wash them off with a good squirt from the hose. But you'll have to keep an eye out and repeat as necessary. |
Red spider mites are tiny. You usually need a loop to see them. First sign of one is a yellowing spot in the middle of the leaf. They hang out underneath the leaf. |
So far I have spray soapy water, brought in lady bugs, sprayed organic pesticide, use a strong hose to spray the bugs off the plants and harbenaro with garlic water. Seems like majority of the bugs are off the leaves... But I can see them on the soil... I am running of idea. Anyone have any suggestions? If not I will have to get rid of my herb garden and start over... :( |
If what you can see on the soil really are the aphids you have washed off the plants then not many of them will get back onto them. Aphids are weak fliers (and in some stages have no wings anyway). Just persevere with the hose. No need to start all over again. You will need to be vigilant and just keep at them when you see them. Personally, I would not use any pesticide, organic or not, on something I intended to eat. |

for aphids, if u want to use herbal insecticides i recomend inter cropping with onions and garlic. for the meantime trying soaking garlic and onion in water and mix with soap and spray on plants |

The MA Art & Design: Creative Technology is a practice-based programme focusing on the creative employment of technology. The programme's innovative feature is to explore the boundaries between new media, sound and visual arts, industry, design and computer technology – which are dissolving as a result of digital technology. The course aims to bring together a broad range of graduates from a variety of different backgrounds. The philosophy of this programme in Creative Technology is expressed through the following features:
The current programme modules:
A brief chat with Award Leader, Prof. Paul Sermon to find out what the Creative Technology course at the University of Salford is about, who it's for, what projects students work on and what students go on to do upon graduating.
The programme is offered as a one-year full-time or two-year part-time Master's. While it is considered a taught programme, the curriculum is increasingly self-directed as the year progresses, enabling students to explore a range of diverse interests, culminating in the development of a unique topic of study in their final term. The first semester is aimed at developing new skills (PG Certificate), the second at exploring and refining those skills in a personally-defined project (PG Diploma), and the third in developing reasoned connections to realise a coherent creative piece which is at, or defines, the cutting edge of creative expression with emerging technologies (MA). The programme seeks to engender in students a grounded understanding of various approaches, methods and technology issues related to industrial and creative practice.
The MA Art & Design: Creative Technology is a modular programme, consistent with the University's postgraduate modular scheme. Available with either full- or part-time attendance, the programme comprises three 15-week semesters or six15-week semesters, to be undertaken within one or two years respectively.
The students regularly visits exhibitions and shows related to the course content. Recent visits to Liverpool's FACT centre, Manchester's Cornerhouse, the URBIS and the Transmediale festival in Berlin have formed an integral part of teaching and discussions about recent trends and developments.
Guest artists and researchers are invited to demonstrate their projects and investigations, giving students an insight into state-of-the-art techniques, artistic strategies and creative methodologies. The guests demonstrate their own work and are available to discuss the students' work in progress.
Arts projects run by lecturers allow students to participate in high-profile international arts events and get in touch with international artists and critics. In particular, telematic events, web-based work and projects in collaboration with partner universities prepare students for personal exchange and knowledge dissemination. ...................................................................................................

Well, I have watched the less than flattering Walt Disney documentary which was part of the BBC "Secret Lives" series. While they interview former animators, biographers, and other "Insiders" in order to prove their point of view, they really don't give us anything that wasn't uncommon in the era in which Walt lived and worked. Some issues they address:
1. Walt was a racist. An animator says Walt saw a very dark skinned Hindu that the company had hired, mistook him for black, and ordered the man fired.
2. Walt did not respect women. A former employee said Walt did not allow women in the animation division. They were only allowed to ink and paint.
3. Walt was paranoid. He believed the animator's strike was the result of communism. In retaliation, he hired a mobster to break the strike by threatening the animators.
4. He washed his hands 30 times an hour while having a nervous breakdown. (No source or citation provided)
5. He took credit for his animators' work.
6. Walt couldn't end the strike for months. Roy put an end to it in one day.
My rebuttal: This may not win me any fans because it may seem like I am defending bigotry which I am NOT, but the fact is, back then, in the 20's, 30's, and 40's, white men ran the world. They held the power, the money and influence. So if we assume that the above is true, which is only an assumption, is it all that strange? To tell me that women were treated as 2nd class citizens and minorities were treated poorly back then is no surprise at all. As far as Walt not being able to resolve the strike, that's because he took it personally. Roy did not. Roy did what was best for business (he was the money man) and got them to come back to work, Walt was too stubborn, again, not surprising as most geniuses are. As fas as a nervous breakdown, if your entire heart, soul and financial well being was being threatened, wouldn't you freak out too? I'm surprised he didn't crack sooner. And finally, he was human, a workaholic, and a perfectionist. Unfortunately, the company protects his image to such a high degree, it actually gives his critics ammunition when they think Disney is covering up some huge, dark secret he had. He was a man, not Superman.

Dr. Timothy Zelko, a board-certified physician with six years of liposuction-specific experience, oversees the fat-cell-siphoning procedures at ZBodySculpt. After decades as a board-certified physician, Dr. Zelko turned his focus to liposuction—and discovered that despite the huge demand for the slimming procedure, people often avoided it out of fear, discomfort, cost, and allergies to doctors. This realization prompted him to seek out alternative forms of fat reduction, and Dr. Zelko now treats his patients with minimally invasive and noninvasive procedures that require little to no downtime, reduced cost, and local anesthesia for fewer complications.

Trent is leaving. As I run around buying the last of the Christmas presents, Trent will be flying to the States to live the next while of his life in the land of the fat. It's a huge shame. He's been here for 15 months or so but it seems like longer - you know how time can be deceptive. He feels like part of the place already.
He won't be easy to replace. He's not always idle, he knows how to do a few things, and he provided the material for one of the more amusing posts on this nearly-6-year-old blog. He's also broken loads of tools and lost my first lovely bronze trowel, so it won't be SO sad.
Perhaps one of you young, attractive men and women would be willing to use your wiles to persuade him to stay in England? He's 26, reasonably tall, lean and fit. He has very short hair and one of those beards that says 'macho man'. More than one ravingly gay friend who's visited has enquired about his preferences and availability. He says he's heterosexual but he may be just trying to set a challenge for someone.
Assuming one of you doesn't persuade him, I may be after a replacement. I may not. I may end up doing it all myself again, but I might want someone. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure because I'm deeply unsociable most of the time (while very very sociable for a bit of the time). And I like doing it all myself. It makes it very hard for someone to be the sort of someone who it can work out with. Trent makes that very easy. He gets on with the run of the mill stuff as happily as the obviously fascinating stuff. He also seems to love it. He doesn't mind if I insult him, or tell him how things are really pronounced in the real world (ie Devon).
Trent works 2 days a week, sometimes 3. Occasionally 1. He does everything from endless strimming to planting lovely things to harvesting pepper and grapes to pruning whatever needs pruning.
There are some skills that would be preferable/essential, including some idea about looking after a vineyard. Actually that might be it skillwise.
There are some aptitudes and attitudes that would be preferable, including an ability to enjoy the less interesting tasks and appreciate their importance alongside the obviously vital jobs. Working happily on your own, for sure. It's hard to think of the rest because I and the place have got used to Trent being around, and until he goes I'm not sure I'll appreciate what I'll be missing.
If you are called Uma Thurman you are very likely to be interviewed, although if you have a novel name this will significantly increase your chances. A surname for a first name will suffice (eg Trent, Harrison, Davison), but if you have an altogether more ludicrous moniker I will look upon your application with great favour. Dr Hfuhruhurr, Mr. Hartoonian, Danger Fourpence, or Anne Uumellmahaye would be very likely to find success.
I am tempted to alter my plans for next year so that I can do them in whatever time I have rather than try to find another Trent to add a day or two to the Otter Farm week. I can't imagine walking out to feed the pigs after a day writing and being quite so impressed at the difference a day of what Trent's done has made to the place.
So, pass it on if you would: part time job for someone who knows a bit about managing a vineyard may or may not be available with an unsociable git who's been spoiled by the previous encumbent.

My second favourite popstar story* involves Alvin Stardust. I pray it's true.
Alvin was England's answer to Elvis, at least visually - he sounded somewhere between Buddy Holly and Marc Bolan. Always the man dressed in black leather. And with a fabulous pair of lamb chops - as I believe this demonstrates**. And like every English popstar worth their salt, he knew when to change his name....he even did it twice before settling on 'Alvin Stardust'.
After getting to Number 2 with My Coo-Ca-Choo in 1972, he clawed his way up the charts in those leather gloves of his with the follow up - Jealous Mind. Everyone was on tenterhooks...would he make it to the top?
At a record company party attended by the great and the good, a couple of over-excited executives ran up to Alvin and unable to contain themselves imparted the good news.
"Alvin, Alvin, you're number one, it's amazing".
Now, Alvin was England's answer to Elvis don't forget and wasn't about to over-enthuse.
"Ahuh" came his cool response, as he sipped on his brandy.
The conversation went on for a few minutes, largely one-sided as Alvin ahuh-ed his way along, before he excused himself to return to his hotel room to use the loo.
On getting to his room, he flung down his leather jacket, threw the windows open, hung his head out and yelled at the top of his voice, fists a-pumping.....
"Foooocccccckkkkkiiiiing get innnnnnnn you beauooooooooteeeeeyy!"
...before cold-water-washing his face and rejoining the party, going back to his ahuhs.
I know I should be much more like the Fonz*** about having this article in the Observer but if you can't show a little excitement about something like that you're either the very cool Alvin Stardust, Henry Winkler, or a very tedious arse. I am certainly not the first two, and only some of the time the latter.
And they've now asked me to sit in for Dan Pearson on his Observer magazine column when he goes on holiday at the end of the month.
I'm off to open the office window and give it some....
* Nothing touches the Mick Jagger-restaurant one I'm afraid
** I feel a blog coming on about the marvellous folk who starred in road safety adverts, but I'm not going to let that distract me know
*** Here, starring in a Weezer video, where the band are edited into an episode of Happy Days. The song's called 'Buddy Holly'. See what I did there *completes circle with the start of the blogpost*...I'm too good for this place.
And given it's the crossroads autumn, it's nectarine salsa at the top, and plum crumble down below.

The other day a very old friend was telling me about how he'd read that one of the signs of getting older was putting on your favourite shorts, staring into the mirror and seeing Baden Powell staring back.
Now I'd like to add to that, staring at a photo of yourself and seeing your dad staring back. Normally I see Stephen Merchant staring back*, but not this time.
It was shot on a bright day and I had to look skywards for the pic so it was a perfect recipe for the undeniable crowsfeet to be fully evident. But still. What next, shiny speedos and jumpers with patches at the elbow?
The picture was by Harry Borden. It's for the Observer Magazine, out this coming Sunday. I'd rather hoped they would use a particular picture by Jason Ingram - partly because I'm vain enough to want them to use what I think may be the least worst picture of me, and partly as I had a jammed week and photoshoots - even for just one shot - can take an age. And Jason is a mighty fine photographer.
Nope, it had to be Harry, they said - he only lives up the road and he is a great photographer.
Photographers can be a tedious bunch - often very egotistical, incapable of talking about anything else but themselves, and it's a reasonably accurate (although by no means infallible) law that the more average the snapper the more comprehensively they will exhibit those traits.
I checked out Harry's website and immediately started recognising images: I know that picture of Richard Harris, that's the image of Michael Hutchence (this one), what an amazing picture of Gilbert and George. He has over 100 images in the National Portrait Gallery. He can take a picture. Nice for me then, that he lives part of the time only half an hour away.**
So, if you want to know what my dad looked like (if he'd been paler, taller and slimmer), get the Observer on Sunday 5 September.
The top pic is of a purple hazel....the middle one's a Czar plum...the bottom one of Szechuan pepper plants.
* They must be using that pasty-faced-pencil-neck filter on their cameras
** After being here, he was off to Israel, to shoot Blair (only photographically story-hunters)

My liner is only 7 yrs old. It's a Merlin liner with a 20 yr warranty. I called Merlin as well as the installer and no one is coming to fix it. Of course Merlin says it's an installer issue and the installer says someone will call us back, but no one has. I will continue to try to reach the installer and call Merlin, but in the meantime I would like to find someone to fix it before it gets worse. Any recommendations for a Long Island company to contact? Also has anyone else experienced this problem and can suggest a solution. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Seems you didn't read the warranty. It protects against seam splits. It is pro-rated and doesn't include labor, water, or chems. Typically, in NJ, a liner will last about 10 years. Weather, chemistry, and general care will make it vary. The liner's bead often can be popped back in. Boil a large pot of water. Bring it and a small pot to the edge of the pool. Ladle some water across the bead to soften the vinyl and pop it back in. Scott |
Thanks Scott. The installer gave us a 20 yr. parts and labor warranty on the bill. Since they are ignoring us is there someone you can recommend that comes to Nassau county, LI. My DH broke both wrists a few weeks ago so he can't fix it and I'm not strong enough. We heard about a coping lock. Will we need to use one and where would we get it? |
The exact terms would need to be written on the bill for that to have stand up value in court. The pool company you used, if they changed hands, kills any warranty. Once the hot water hits the bead and vinyl, unless you're in your 80s, you would be strong enough. The hot water really softens things and makes it much easier. If you have additional trouble, I would find another pool service. Yes, you'll pay but it'll be done. There are far too many pool services and too many miles for me to recommend one out by you. Liners in our region last about 10 years. The 20 year warranty is pro-rated. This is just the manufacturers way of trying to keep you using their brand, not that Merlin isn't a premium brand (it is). What you may need is called bead lock, not coping lock. Scott |
Thanks again Scott! |

Brigid Thompson
AP English Instructor/AP Coordinator
Brigid Thompson is a home educator from Willow Spring, North Carolina, who has been teaching classes full of bright, enthusiastic, and multi-talented homeschoolers for many years.
Living on a horse farm just south of Raleigh, the Thompsons have been
fortunate to be an active part of a vibrant homeschooling community.
Brigid and her family homeschooled from kindergarten through 12th grade. Her younger son, Connor, is now pursuing a chemical engineering degree at NC State, and her older son, Kyle, recently earned his masters degree in aerospace engineering and is pursuing his PhD. while working for NASA.
Brigid taught literature and writing classes in various co-ops throughout her two kids' middle school years and then taught honors and AP English classes—both locally and online—during their high school years and beyond. Brigid helped launch a local
homeschool national honor society chapter
in 2003 and served for 10 years as one of the adult leaders in the group, stewarding the chapter's growth from 11 students in its first year, to a membership of
73 when she "retired" from chapter leadership in 2013.
With a background in English, Brigid enjoys sharing her love of literature and skillful communication with homeschoolers. She has considerable experience—and has had much success—teaching AP English over the years
(read more on the
Blue Tent feedback
. Attending numerous week-long AP summer workshops has reinforced the AP model—a framework she believes sets up students for success in college analysis and writing (and her former students write back that this is the case). Teaching to the test has never been a goal in Brigid's classes. Rather, a solid foundation, with an appropriate amount of test-prep practice, leads to success on the AP exam
and beyond
. Key components of her Blue Tent classes are that they are large enough for students to enjoy active interaction with grade-level classmates, yet small enough that she can offer regular and detailed writing feedback that pertains to what
each student needs most at any given time
. Brigid loves getting to know her talented students, who are invariably involved in lots of interesting academic and extra-curricular activities. She welcomes notes that share highlights of their endeavors and successes during the school year and after they have moved on. While her AP English classes are designed to help prepare students for the exam and college-level analysis, writing, and rigor, most of all she wants students to enjoy their year of AP English with her and with their classmates!

Christine Proctor
Honors English Instructor
Christine Proctor is a home educator from Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, who is an avid reader, sometime writer, and all-time enthusiastic supporter of the English language. With one son in college, one in the working world, and one still immersed in high school studies, Christine's sixteen years of homeschooling has entered a new phase: teaching online! Besides bringing the English language to life for her three young men, Christine also continues to teach and tutor other homeschooled students in English literature and writing. Grading papers, correcting grammar exercises, reading great literature out loud, holding poetry and drama readings, working one-on-one as a writing instructor as well as "coach," and assisting high school seniors with college application essays keeps Christine busy on a daily basis. Her degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina, as well as her work experience as a news reporter and as a copywriter for a national advertising agency, has helped just a little!
Raising three boys with multiple interests has broadened Christine's horizons beyond her love of reading, writing, photography, and fostering dogs for a rescue group—to the finer things in life like art, music, dance, drama, and of course, sports. Though she might not be on the field or behind the piano, she actively contributes to each community, and each of these activities has deepened her experiences—which are reflected in her teaching. Opportunities to lead classes in poetry, dramatic writing, and storybook art have come her way through both the homeschool community and her church. And one can never underestimate the benefits of an engaging book club!
From the first edits students receive on their papers, Christine's love for effective and artful communication is evident. Nothing brings her greater satisfaction than reading a piece of writing that reveals a student's understanding of the subject and the ability to clearly convey it. Well, maybe a scoop of dark chocolate raspberry ice cream could compete.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jaimie!
Facts about Jaimie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Jaimie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jaimie and her sister, Gypsy, were found outside as strays trying to survive on their own. They were brought into the Catnip Cottage by Keepers of the Wild. Jaimie is about 4 months old now, as of late August. She is a gentle, sweet kitten with a shy nature. Once she is comfortable in her environment, Jaimie is a very loving little girl.
Other Pets at Our Lady of Mercy's Catnip Cottage
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jaimie, a Summerville Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Summerville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Summerville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Summerville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Summerville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Summerville paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Scourge Invades!
The invaders chosen method of conquest is by the use of an armada of flying necropolis'. Yes, it's an odd concept, and no, I have no idea how they make cities fly, much less dead ones, but I saw it with my own eyes, so take my word for it...these things are huge.
Swarms of powerful undead have flooded the Plaguelands, Azshara & other areas, gaining their power from mysterious obelisks scattered throughout the land. Horde & Alliance could be seen fighting side-by-side against the unholy legions, trying to destroy the crystals. Who knows how long the combined forces of both factions will be able to stave off the invaders...but it's been pretty freakin' cool so far.
Have you heeded the call to arms against the Scourge? Seen anything interesting during the event so far? Let us know...

Lanao holds family planning confab
-A A +ATuesday, November 6, 2012
MARAWI CITY -- The Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) conducted a two-day command conference on family planning recently to address the unmet needs for family planning in Lanao del Sur province.
The conference was attended by chief of hospitals, municipal health officers and other health workers from the different towns of the province.
It was also attended by other stakeholders from both the public and private sectors like representatives from the Provincial Government, Amai Pakpak Medical Center, Al-Mujadila Foundation, and members of the media, among others.
IPHO Chief Alinader Minalang said the conference focused on discussions regarding issues on family planning and reproductive health, as well as the approaches and directions of the family planning program in the province.
The Islamic perspective on reproductive health, updates on the implementation of the Reproductive Health Code, generation of demands through family development sessions and the role of community health teams in the delivery of family planning services were also tackled.
The conference also featured a lecture on cervical cancer prevention and recognition of individuals who gave support to IPHO and to the rural health units and hospitals which showed exemplary performances in the delivery of family planning and reproductive health services.
Minalang said the highlight of the conference was the signing of commitment by the participants to improve not only the provision of family planning services and the availability of commodities, especially to the poor, but also the overall health status of our constituents. (PIA)

My fiancee and I are closing on a new (102 year old) house next week. After having the well tested during the inspection, it was found to have E coli as well as coliform bacteria present. We explored some other options with the seller, and agreed to have them install a UV filter and chlorinate the well and entire system. We had the well tested again after the filter was installed and the system was chlorinated, and no further bacteria was found.
However, I'm curious as to the other results of the water test, as far as what we can expect from our water when we move in. Here are the results: Ph - 6.8 SU
According to this test, only the Iron is on the high side, their 'limit' is 0.3 mg/L. Is that enough a high enough iron content to stain clothing and cause problems with a hot water heater, or warrant the need for a water softener? We haven't yet moved in, so I can't say if the water is clear, and red particles settle to the bottom, or if it comes out and is immediately red or yellow tinged, I'm just curious if someone can look at these results and let me know what we should be expecting. Thanks! |

No TDS test? PH is a touch low. Hardness may shorten the service life of the UV light. A correctly sized softener would resolve the hardness and the iron. How much time elapsed from the introduction of the UV and shocking the well till the second water test? If it was tested just a day or so later problems may return. Living on a well is more complicated and more maintenance intensive than living on a water system cause you want the water to be nice and the water has to be SAFE. You should do scheduled water tests to make sure the bacteria problem is being resolved... less expensive than a trip to the ER. You will want to resolve the water treatment before you move in or close on the house especially if the water treatment is on the seller's dime. If the seller is paying for the water treatment does the warranty transfer to you as the new home owner? |
- Posted by flyingtim01 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 16:32
Those results were from the first test, which was on our dime. This was the same test that revealed bacteria. Once the seller installed the UV filter and chlorinated the well and house, they had a second test done (their dime) that was only for the presence of bacteria. The work that the well company did to the house does indeed transfer to us, but that was only the installation of the UV filter, the inspection of the well itself, the chlorination, and the installation of a new pressure tank, which was the extent of the seller's responsibilities. Thanks for the info lurker...so can I assume the amount of iron in this water will stain our laundry? In a house full of old appliances, the washing machine looks brand new, which makes me wonder if the tub was rusty on the old one. |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 16:52
I wouldn't occupy a house till I had the results of a comprehensive water test done by a certified independent lab showing the absence of bacteria and nitrates in my hands. Any other properties of the water a buyer might/may deem unacceptable (hardness, iron, PH, manganese, etc) would be corrected by the buyer unless negotiated with the seller. Shocking a well may be a temporary resolution. Bacteria can return after time. Repeated shocking of a well treats the symptom, may not be a permanent solution, and is not recommended. A UV light is a solution for bacteria, provided it is properly maintained and is operating properly. A UV light has a shorter service life on hard water. A correctly sized softener would resolve the hardness and the iron. |

Hi Tim, Living with a well has certainly been an experience for us. We also ended up with a septic tank too! Fortunately our house came with a water softener. Our copper plumbing had all been stolen (house was unoccupied for 1.5 yrs) so we couldn't do a water test without replacing the pipes prior to closing - and the bank who owned the house wouldn't have done anything regardless of what the tests said, so I guess it didn't matter. Once we got the plumbing restored, our results for Iron were .022, but that's with a water softener. I don't know what it is without, but I can tell you that we can tell when we're low on salt in the softener - the toilets all start getting rusty where the water sits. I'd try to get the owners to throw in a water softener, if you can :) Can you tell me about your UV light? We had coliform, but not ecoli, so shocked the well but didn't have it re-tested. I've always thought it was a good idea to get a UV light, but never had time to look into it yet. Best of luck to you! |

Hi library girl, We closed on the house on Thursday, so we haven't had a lot of experience with the water. However, I can tell you this. With no softener (just the UV filter and a new pressure/holding tank) the water is pretty darn good, from my point of view. The dishwasher in the house is older than me, I'm fairly certain, and there aren't any signs of rust on the inside. The glasses come out a bit cloudy though, but I can live with that. We've run a load of laundry and the whites didn't come out dingy, so I was pleased with that. Also, it doesn't taste half bad, either. I prefer the taste of harder water (I suppose its the higher mineral content) over softer water anyhow. The hot water does smell a little irony out of the tap, and we haven't tried to cook with it yet. I'm suspecting the hot water is a little off (in part, at least) to the water heater nearing the end of its useful life and never having the anode rod changed. Our UV filter is a Trojan, but that is all that I remember. I'll get you some info on oursIt was recommended to us because we have an older dug well with a cement casing and cement cap. Its not exactly weather tight, and the well company that inspected it said that the casing was in good shape and they didn't see any cracks. However, an earthworm may end up in there and there is your coliform. The seller paid for it, but it wasn't terribly expensive, and the bulb usually lasts about a year. As lurker said above, the hard water is a little harder on it and will probably shorten its life some. In our case, I was worried about the well being re-contaminated after it was chlorinated, as its a shallow well operating mostly off ground water, so at the very least, I wanted to take the possibility of bacteria out of the equation. We're still going to have our water tested regularly, but the UV filter provides us a good amount of peace of mind. |
What part of the county are you located in? Did you do the coli/ecoli test or was it completed prior to the purchase? I do water testing for a living. There are many more things that need to be tested for than what you provided, metals, VOC's, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Were the results you posted taken from a water sample prior to any treatment application or after it? Considering how low your hardness is, I would think that it isn't a raw water sample(which is what you want). Chlorination. Well chlorination is typically only a short term solution, long term solutions are in house chlorination systems. Pellet droppers at the well cap are 'frowned upon'. When was the well chlorinated, and have you had it retested? Retesting is critical. I would also recommend getting a raw water sample analyzied. Also, well water needs to be tested on a yearly basis. When you are on a private well you are essientially your own municipality that provides water to your family and people that come into your house.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Add a Loop Pen Loop set of 4
These are great to help keep up with pens and pencils. I have recommended them!
January 15, 2015
Innovative-great purchase
An innovative and quality product that is highly functional. Love them home, work, community activities, church functions. Use in composition books as well as leather portfolios. Holds any size pen or pencil (including fountain pens) and if I am carrying a pen in my pocket, I can add a different writing instrument to the loop. GREAT!
January 15, 2015
Useful and durable
I absolutely love these pen holders. Snug enough to hold a pencil, but stretchy enough to hold my Liquid Flair extra fine point pens. The sticky part holds up well- the first set I bought is probably over two years old and still going strong. They fit nicely inside the cover and don't interfere with the paper.
January 4, 2015
Tight for Comfort Grip
The loops fill a critical need I had. The ONLY downside was the inability to get my company pens with comfort grip in the loop. I can get it in enough to hold and that is working just fine. Would really like to see the loop be just a touch wider in diameter to permit the pen to go through as it does on the loops on the binders.
December 19, 2014
Holds L Tech pen / stylus and Sharpie Highlighter
The Add A Loop holds both my pen / stylus and highlighter securely. I use the wallet card leather portfolio with a Circa notebook to keep all of my action items visible. With no pen loop I searched for a way to keep my writing instruments secure. I used a Circa tab divider to secure the Add A Loop at the tab of two dividers for both my pen and highlighter. The elastic holds the slim L Tech and the narrow Sharpie. Large pens and highlighters most likely will be too tight. I do not understand why the order requires 4 holders. Each comes secured to its own card package.
December 11, 2014
Incredible Value
They keep my notebook in order, and provide maximum utility for ensuring I always have my Levenger pen handy in meetings.
November 7, 2014
Excellent item!
I love always having a pen at hand and most of the accessory pieces I find do not have options. So, these are perfect to use for wallets, notepads, calendars, etc. They stick very well and are just the right tension to put a regular-sized barrel pen through. Also, a great value...Levenger is usually pretty pricy but I priced these at other stores and found them for $7-10 dollars EACH! Will definitely buy again!!!!!!!!!
October 9, 2014
This Pen Loop is exactly what I needed for my binders. My pens are now easily accessible and secure; not sliding off like they did when I slipped them over the binder cover. The adhesive appears to be strong, holding well inside the back cover. The slight hump on the back few pages is not interfering with my note writing at all. It is exactly what I wanted.
October 9, 2014
Fair Product
Wanting more notebooks for my assorted short stories, I at first made one from an old three ring binder, trimming off the front and back. Punched them and had a new book. Now I needed a pen holder. I bought the Add A Loop set and attached one to the new book.It attached well but I soon found out I had to fight to get my L Tech Pen into the loop. It is definitely for slim pens to be sure. In my opinion, the manufacturer should make a large and small version, and if Levenger is going to sell them four at a time, put two small and two large in the pack. Other than this, it is a well made but limited product
August 13, 2014
Perfect addition for Sliver Notebook
I was worried that this product might not fit my pen, or stick apropriately but I was pleasantly surprised! I just purchased my first sliver circa notebook and needed to add a pen loop. This was a great choice! It is a seamless addition - looks very natural and great form and funtion. Very happy with the purchase. Only complaint is that I didn't need 4...would love the option to purchase 1 or 2.

Spencer Ackerman, who reports on national security issues for The Washington Independent and blogs about the same—and does both at a consistently high level of quality, which is not a simple task—last year posted an item on his blog, Attackerman, explaining how to deconstruct a typical piece by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker. He said Hersh was ill-served by the conventional journalistic habit of shaping reporting into stories that needed to signify their importance. Lots of Hersh's reporting, Ackerman argued, would be better understood as pure reporting and read simply because it was what Hersh had learned, whatever it portended. Shaping it into traditional journalism structures warped it.
One day, journalistic convention will decide that placing reporters like Hersh within the box of a lede (the intentional misspelling of "lead" is yet another journalistic convention that makes little sense) for a piece that needs no lede is a silly idea. Then, my friends, we will finally have the free play of notebook material. But until then, we have to read Hersh with a bit of a knowing eye. You can hate all you like, but god's son is across the belly and he'll prove you lost already. [Parenthesis mine, italics and capitalization his.]
I have no idea what that last sentence about God's son and the belly means, but it's a blog post so I don't have to understand it and Ackerman doesn't have to care that I don't. This is part of the nature of blogging. The writer can assume I know exactly what he means, or not care that I don't. Somebody else will get it. This kind of writing is directed at a very particular, almost personal, audience. It's like writing in dialect and as far from a mass medium as you can get. While it happens to be available via the Internet to millions of people, it is certainly not aimed at them.
What Ackerman is advocating is that Hersh be liberated from the formal conventions of journalism, and the constraints that accompany them. Then he can simply say, "Here, look what I found." Ackerman is asking, implicitly, that Hersh be regarded as a blogger. I think he's right. I think blogging would suit Hersh. I also think blogging is saving journalism.
I worked at newspapers for thirty years and loved every day of it. Wait. It's more complicated than that. Much more. In fact, to say I loved newspapering wholeheartedly is a bald-faced lie. I hated at least half of those three decades worth of days and swore at the end of many that it would be the last. I carried out these vows to quit several times, never for very promising prospects. I left to write speeches, to write fiction, to pound nails—none of which was I as good at as pounding a beat. So what was I fighting for or against? Sometimes, those who knew me would suggest that it was nothing more than myself. Sometimes, though, I actually had a point.
I hated the conventions that bound daily journalism, the stilted, odd language in which it was written as well as the contrived structures into which that odd language was shaped. The common newspaper style is so heavily codified you need a Berlitz course to interpret it. More than formal, the style is abstract and artificial. I once (on the very first day at a new job) got into a frighteningly intense argument with a city editor who had objected to my use of the word "slumbered" to describe the behavior of two political candidates during a debate. They didn't really sleep through it, did they? he asked. Of course not, I said. I meant it figuratively, not literally. We don't use figurative language here, he told me. Then he changed the word to "lumbered."
That was one benighted guy, but the problem was nearly universal. Until recently, you couldn't escape it. Now you can. The advent of the Web and the proliferation of smart, aggressive bloggers around the globe have torn journalism loose from its hinges. The hounds have been unleashed.
While disliking it intensely, it is easy to forget there was a reason for the soporific style of newspaper writing. Newspapers were actually trying to do something good. They recognized that they held powerful, uncontested positions as conveyors of news to their communities. After much coaxing, they took it upon themselves to shed their partisan pasts and don a cloak of social responsibility—a practice that they called objectivity. They did it in part to sell papers—they thought if they made fewer people angry they would have more readers—but mainly they did it because they thought it was the right thing to do.

Product Description
The thirteenth edition of Brooks' most popular running shoe - the Adrenaline GTS 13 - is the best one yet! This time around, Brooks paid special attention to the underfoot flex by adding Omega Flex Grooves and continuing Omni Grooves in the forefoot, allowing the outsole to bend and shape naturally. Continuing with the tradition of a tailored fit, stretch eyelets lock into the medial side to capture the foot better. The full-length BioMoGo midsole fights odor-causing microbes to keep feet fresher longer. Anatomical Brooks DNA cushioning material provides a customized ride for runners of all sizes and speeds. The tri-density Progressive Diagonal Rollbar midsole design is biomechanically engineered to allow for progressive pronation and to create smoother transitions from the mid-stance phase into the propulsion phase. The DRB Accel is a shank-like thermoplastic device which provides torsional rigidity to the midfoot, enhancing support while allowing the heel and forefoot to act independently. The midsole design also features a combination last, universal platform, and Heel Caterpillar Tech and Flextra technologies. The HPR Plus rubber compound outsole is highly durable and abrasion-resistant for excellent traction and long-lasting wear. The outsole also features forefoot stable pod construction as well as a blown rubber forefoot. Element upper technology provides excellent weather protection in a light, supple fabric that doesn't sacrifice breathability, durability, or comfort. The upper also features an internal support saddle with adjustable saddle construction; a Profile sockliner; moisture-managing Element mesh and fabric linings; and synthetic overlay materials. Weight: 9.4 oz. Medium width. Imported. |

Much has been said about the many brave men and woman who gave their lives or fought to save others on 9-11. So little has been said for the many rescue dogs who worked far beyond endurance to accomplish almost impossible tasks. They went into places only they could or would go, without all of the body protection that man has designed for his own safety. While the normal human being may flee from inevitable danger, the rescue dog would stay with its master, even if it meant their certain death. Consider the human life span in relation to this brave animals life span, consider his valuable capabilities, then give them the honor they so rightfully deserve.
