This is the link to my digital exhibition presentation.
Yesterday we choose 5 patterns of rules of capitalization which we were having trouble with and right examples of them with 2 extra examples, out of the 7 words we had to make a story with them in the order we had list them in the first place I will answer a few questions below followed by my story.
Capitalization rules I have problems with are directions, names of people, names of people, names(mom, dad, aunts, ETC), tittles for places or buildings, tittles of words. I think they are had to grasp because of all the rules you have to see just make sure you should capitalize them or not like if you write "My aunt nancy" You need to capitalize the A in aunt and in Nancy in which I find pretty confusing. I think if I studied them more I would be able to remember them. Now I will show my piece.
I live West of
my Aunt Nancy who is
Dad's sister.
She hates The Jackson Building because
she didn't see The Help on November's free
ticket night, Monday.
The underlined words are the examples I gave of the capitalized rules i have trouble with and the I wrote this poem with some words I thought made sense and put together to create this I hope you guys liked it.:)

Today we were assigned to do fight for a good cause but we had to say if theirs is ways we good fight for them in a bad way, this was assigned because of our previous assignment where we learned about how john brown fought for slavery but killed people in his fight.
Today my good cause that i will he fighting for will be bullying, I think some ways people could help to solve this problem is that if you now someone is being bulllying get help tell adult, don't be a bystander make a change. but on the other side a way to fight for this problem in a bad way would be to bully other people to make yourself fell better about yourself for being bullied.
Up above I explained some way to fix problems in a good way and in a bad way, now if you are ever fighting for a good cause do it in a good way!:)

This friday was career day and in advisement we did some team building activities with our other classmates, now I will reflect on the things we did.
The team activities we were assigned were fun and pretty cool to experiment to although some were difficult we still tried them and worked as a team. I actually really think these activities helped our advisement to communicate with each other and express our ideas together on how to work it out. Now if I was to create a team building activities for my own class I would give out life problem like for example a friend is getting bully what would you do?, from their we would all sit in a circle and everyone would express their idea of what they would do. This activity would help them to communicate with each other and would help them make good decisions for one another and themselves.
From the activities we did in advisement it helped me to communicate more with my classmates and ask for their opinion once in a while maybe even trust them a little. I think its important to have a community in our advisement because we are better than just a group of people we are a family who could help one another by team work. I hope you like my reflect from my advisement activities, have a good day!
Today was our school career day, we were sent to different rooms to see three speakers talk about their careers. I had business owner, horticulture/landscaping, and graphic design. From all those three speakers I liked the horticulture/landscaping the most.
The way our speaker, Ms.king told us about her job very enthusiastically and talked so good about it inspired me to maybe go somewhere in that path when I grow older. The only things I need if i ever want to take the the path to a career like Ms.king would be so knowledge about plants like study botany or science of plants some where in my education path. But according to Ms. king she started at the very beginning and work her way up. I feel like this is a good fit for me because I really like nature and out doors.
I hope to one day be able to do something like Ms. King and be able plant plants and be able to a part of nature.:) I really enjoyed careers day!
Filed under: Social Studies | Tags: Alexander Hamilton, brochure, Social Studies, Thomas Jefferson
For this Social Studies assignment we were told to make a brochure of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton we did a compare and contrast chart in the brochure. In the inside of the brochure like I told you I was comparing and contrasting them but on the outside we cited our work and chose side. The sides we could chose from were Jefferson and Thomas sides. Jefferson like every to rule a equally with opinions of others but Hamilton only like that a familiar group of people torule like the rich. Here I will post pictures of my brochure to see whose side I choose.
The first image is the outside of my brochure that explains who I chose and my work cited plus the cover. The second image is the inside where I compare and contrast both Jefferson and Hamilton. This took me a while to do, this is my final and edited version because my first one had a couple of errors I needed to fix but in the end it turned out okay. I hope you think so too.
This past few weeks we have been learning about people who went through the civil rights, injustice and disabilities who achieved something people said they wouldn't or changed the world, our classed called them "people who broke barriers". In this following post I will write my pre write of a paper I am gonna do about how Anne Sullivan broke barriers.
From all the characters we learned about the one who sticked out the most for me was Anne Sullivan because her determination, courage, and strength. She didn't let others words who told her she couldn't make Hellen learn get to her head and she she achieved what she put her self to and much more. I think her great heart and the feelings that she was once like that made her more determined to make Hellen to learn. Anne has some really good character traits such as strong, determined, smart, and she is very confident on her self. What Anne taught me was to be determined in what i do and to not give up even if people say you you can't.
I am excited to write this paper because I will get to learn more about Anne Sullivan and how else she broke barriers and how. I hope you guys read my paper when I post it next time! Have a good day
This week our class has been working on doing 25 words stories that hint about the story and the story structure(beginning, middle, and end). We were to write at least 3 or more drafts of some possible story from their we chose one and improved by adding figurative language and the hardest part of all making sure its 25 words exactly. This activity sounded cool at first until we were told that it had to have 25 words exactly no one word less or one word more. It was hard and challenging but it turned out okay so here is my!:) >
Did my story hint what it was about and the story structure? Well I hope did. It took me quite a while to see how I was gonna hint my story but with the help of my teacher, Ms.Clark, I think it turned out okay.:)
Filed under: reading | Tags: book, Helen Keller, movie, paraphrase, reading
This past week our class has been analyzing the movie The miracle worker and we also read her some parts of her book The story of my life, We analyzed character development , cause and effect, character traits, paraphrase, and much more. I really liked the movie and how Helen got better for herself and for others throughout the movie. The movie had a lot of inspirational quotes and are class was told to chose one of the quotes and explain or put in our own words. Heres my quote!:)
"Oh…Everything the earth is full of, Helen. Everything on it that's ours for a wink and what we are on it. The light we bring to it and leave behind in words. You can see years back in the light of words. Everything we feel, think, know, and share in words, so not a soul is in darkness, or done with even in the grave…But I know. I know one word and I can put the world in your hand. And whatever it is to me, I won't take less." – Anne Sullivan
I chose this quote because I like the meaning of the quote and how she was translating it with different words. She was basically saying that everything on this earth is ares for a very shot time when we are on earth we bring so much good things said and done through words and leave behind when we die . I think this quote describes Anne Sullivan, don't you? I think that because she is trying to say her childhood went by really quick and she is already getting old and she wants to bring something good to this earth like Helen and to teach her to learn and not spend a bad childhood like her because she will later on will die.
I really liked learning about Helen Keller and getting to know her life story throughout her book, The Story of My Life and her movie, The Miracle worker, I also really liked seeing how the characters developed throughout. Helen Keller is my new inspiration:)

My class read Martin Luther King Jr.'s poem "I Have a Dream" and was told that we were going to write a poem, but all the words were to come from Mr. King's speech "I Have a Dream". My poem is called Hope it was really difficult combing the right words to for it to make sense it took me a while to write it, so here is my poem.
All words borrowed from Martin Luther Kings speech "I Have Dream"
Martin luther king Jr poem
One day it will come, that will be the
day when we will be able to hew a stone of
hope out of the mountain of despair.
With this hope. With this faith we will be
able to march ahead to freedom.
Freedom will ring.
With the ring of freedom
our nation will be a beautiful
symphony of brotherhood.
With the freedom we all have today,
all men, yes, black as well as white men,
will rise up and live for the true meaning
of life.
Hope you enjoyed reading my poem because I put a lot of time and effort in it, but even though I put it together all word credits to Martin Luther King Jr.

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 Lola!
Facts about Lola
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lola's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
My name is Lola, and my tale is a sad one. I'm a sweet, affectionate, 10-month-old red-nosed pit bull. The only family I've ever known was about to abandon me on the street just because they were moving and didn't bother to find a place where they could take me. They had loaded their car and were about to drive away and leave me on the street when a Kitty Connection volunteer arrived and took me, despite her husband's allergy to me and the fact that they really don't have a place to keep me. (It's a good thing for me he loves animals, too.) I'm wonderful with children, even the toddler of the family who dumped me. If you don't think a dog can actually cry, you didn't hear me that night.
Other Pets at Kitty Connection
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lola, a Medford Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Medford, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Medford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Medford 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 Medford 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 Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Medford paves the way for another one to be saved.

Superman reboot has its ups and downs
Director Zack Snyder, whose credits include 300 and Watchmen, was given the task of rebooting the Superman franchise. He didn't have to worry about fans complaining that the comic book icon was just redone in 2006 by Bryan Singer because Superman Returns was so darn forgettable that Brandon Routh has barely been heard from since.
Actor Henry Cavill is a Jersey dude, from the Bailiwick of Jersey in the Channel Islands. Translation: that makes him British.
In Man of Steel, Snyder and his writers, David S. Goyer and Batman Trilogy director Christopher Nolan (who is also a producer), have provided an extensive preamble about Superman's parents (in particular Russell Crowe as Jor-El), his home world Krypton and why General Zod has issues with his family.
The film then skips over the infant's crash landing on earth, providing the Kent family background in several flashbacks instead. Basically Clark Kent's adopted father Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) warned him that his powers would frighten the world and he should keep his alien identity on the down low.
As an adult that turns Clark Kent/Kal-El into a job-to-job wanderer much like Wolverine, until he needs to use his power's to save someone and has to disappear again. When he pulls this hidden hero trick while Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) from the Daily Planet is watching, his cover is blown.
This is when the film dives into the familiar territory of the Clark Kent/Lois Lane dynamic that has a nice modern update thanks to Adams, whose determination and smarts make her the best embodiment of Lane in the history of the movie franchise.
The romantic element, however, gets shoved aside by the computer-generated action when General Zod (Michael Shannon) arrives ready to release his rage against Kal-El and the puny planet that he calls home. Zod has an agenda for colonizing earth but Superman has other plans. You get his anger up when you mess with his mama (played by Diane Lane).
The problem with Man of Steel is that while the background story and character development are solid, the action sequences are distressingly generic and bland, hammering away, loud and meaningless, like outtakes from any of the Transformers movies. Unlike say Iron Man 3's emotionally charged action sequences as a recent example, the action in Man of Steel doesn't feel connected to the story. And that's with Shannon, the current king of eye-popping anger management issues, doing his thing with gusto as General Zod.
That brings us to Henry Cavill in the title role. He certainly looks the part of a superhero with his gorgeous exterior, including piercing blue eyes and a steel-like chin. As for his performance, Cavill isn't bad but he doesn't fully engage us either. He begins to show signs of superhero style when spunky Lois shows him that humans might jump to unfortunate conclusions when confronted with something they can't explain, but that if you give them a chance they will show you enough courage and loyalty to be worth saving. He doesn't blow us away as Superman, but you sense that he has the capacity to fully embrace the cape down the road, perhaps as soon as the next chapter of the series.
"Your stupid as hell or watched it pirated on an iPhone cuz the action was so big and grand it has yet to be matched by any before it"
"Just my humble opinion, but...Have just seen it and was underwhelmed by it. The only hero in this movie was Jonathan Kent. Too many flashbacks that are all over the place. Too much pointless action sequences, and a female villain, Faora-Ul, that upstaged the main male villain in General Zod. To me the MOS script was "Not Ciculation-Ready". I felt that more could have been done to tidy it up and make an even better film than what we got here. But I guess that once people have made it through the door into the big leagues they tend to throw out the book on writing screenplays and regress to basic newbie mistakes. Yes it is an epic story and an origin story nonetheless, but what we got here is only good for people who prefer style over substance...and fanboys/girls and Cavill fans. Speaking of Cavill, I thought he made a better Superman than Routh but again I think the script did not really allow him to really showcase Superman. However I do hope that he will be Supes in any future sequel"
Back when it was announced that a new reboot of the Spider-Man movies was in the works just a couple of years after the Sam Raimi-Tobey Maguire Spider-Man ended its run in 2009, the comic book world wondered why? Why was it deemed necessary to re-launch the series?
The pre-summer movie season got off to a pretty good start with Iron Man 3, Star Trek: Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6 and this week, a sleeper hit, the illusionist-fueled heist movie Now You See Me. Now the summer season officially kicks into high gear with the kids out of school and ready for plenty of action at the multi-plex.
Like many former fans, when The Last Airbender was released I wrote a cinematic obit for writer-director M. Night Shyamalan. That said, you might be expecting another review trashing After Earth, the sci-fi father-son bonding drama starring Will Smith and his son Jaden, directed by Shyamalan, that has been raked over the coals mercilessly, with a 12 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com.
You don't have to be a gearhead to enjoy the Fast & Furious movies; I'm living proof of that. There is something particularly resilient about this franchise. The cool cars and even cooler gang of remarkably talented car jockeys manage to up the ante each time out.
When director J.J. Abrams rebooted the Star Trek franchise with such consummate skill, balancing the expectations of long time Trekkies with his take on their beloved characters while also forging a superior action film that had a more modern sensibility, he set the bar very high. Star Trek: Into Darkness does not quite reach the heights of the first film, but it does pass muster as a terrific summer popcorn movie.
The Lone Ranger is not really a western in the hands of director Gore Verbinski. It plays out more like one of his Pirates of the Caribbean movies set on dry land with a moving train substituting for a pirate ship.

Anadarko Petroleum, one of the biggest US independent oil and gas companies, has decided to err on the side of caution – something it wishes the government would do when setting energy policy.
With natural gas prices far below last year's highs and the economic downturn and banking crisis contributing to a credit squeeze, the Texas company just finished an offering of 30m shares of common stock to raise about $1.3bn operating funds.
Jim Hackett, chief executive, told the FT that if natural gas prices continued to soften, the company would have had to look for funding later in the year and, by then, the markets could have worsened. "We thought we'd take some execution risk off the table," he says.
Anadarko has big projects ongoing in West Africa, Brazil, the deep water Gulf of Mexico and the Marcellus natural gas shale play in Pennsylvania.
A few years ago, he said, Anadarko would have said it was not so good to be in some international plays, but now he is starting to feel that way toward those in the US.
We find ourselves facing higher taxes and changes in legislation manipulated to penalise the domestic oil and gas exploration and production. All of these things make the US a less interesting place to invest.
If such legislation passes, Mr Hackett said it would make Anadarko pull back in the US. For it seems the government is not for allowing for a moderate, science-based path to more environmentally efficient and cleaner energy, instead favoring a political path. One only needs to look at ethanol, he says, to see that as a disastrous approach. "We're scared to death of certain governments trying to manage the energy future," he says.

Box Office: Zack and Miri Make No Money, HSM 3 Wins Again
Box Office By John Cairns on November 2, 2008 | Comments (22)I hope you folks out there enjoyed Halloween, because I sure didn't. It was a scary weekend to say the least, trying to figure out what was going on at box offices all over North America! On Friday night the attendances were so low it looked like we might get a movie winning at the box office with a haul of under $10 million. In fact, High School Musical 3: Senior Year did so badly on Friday night (only $1,700,000) that it looked as if the box office title was completely up for grabs. Some people thought Saw V (which won Friday with a haul of $3,120,000) or even Changeling might end the weekend on top. Also, the haul for Zack and Miri Make a Porno was so bad on Friday (only $2,220,000) that people were thinking it might only end up with just over $8 million! In any event, things went back to normal on Saturday and Sunday and all the predictions about the order of finish ended up pretty much in the ballpark. HSM 3 made something like $8.2 million on Saturday alone, which pretty much cemented another weekend back on top. As you can see below, though, nobody went to the movies this weekend. The grosses were way off the mark all across the board. High School Musical 3 was down 64.2% from last weekend and Saw V was down 66.4%. Also, Seth Rogen had his worst box-office opening ever with Zack and Miri making only $10.6 […]
Kevin Smith tries to break on through to the other side of the box office with Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Standing in his way: High School Musical 3.

Rainforest Cafe has its own website. I would try that first, That it how I made reservations!
Hope this helps x x
Does anyone know if there is a way to make advance reservations for Rainforest Cafe? Since it was not a disney resteraunt but is on property i was not sure if you could use the Disney dining number or if you had to call Rainforest directly or if you could even do advance for Rainforest. Thanks to whoever answers my ramble
I want to go back...and live in the world with the mouse
Rainforest Cafe has its own website. I would try that first, That it how I made reservations!
Hope this helps x x
Has anyone ever tried to eat there without advance dining? How long was the wait. We are looking at wanting to eat there on a Tues night during a value week.
I want to go back...and live in the world with the mouse
We were there in may and there would have been a 70 min wait if we had not made reservations. we did however reserve a table for later in the week whilst we ate, so if you are going to get there a couple of days beforehand you may be o.k.
That is a good idea. We ate there on a rainy day in the AK because we were drenched. We were in without a reservation in about 15 minutes. During the wait we bought new outfits and dried ourselves with the hand dryers in the bathroom.
Dreams Really Do Come True
we used to call through disney but they don't do that anymore for the dtd one anymore but they do for the ak one. But you might want to check with disney on that.

I used the Disney # a couple of weeks ago for the AK one. We are going last week of November. Had no problem getting ADR for anytime the day we are going even calling so close to our trip. We've only been one time without ADR and waited about 45 minutes.
We have a RFC just a couple miles up the road from us so we are Safari Club members. We joined when our's first opened back in 1999 (I believe that's when it was...) I think we paid like $10 for it back then (not sure of the cost now), but they sent us a $10 gift certificate in the mail right away and then we get $5 certificates on our birthday's and wedding anniversary, plus special offers every once in awhile for things like a free Volcano (their huge brownie ice cream dessert)! But the best part is priority seating. Our RFC like WDW's are ALWAYS busy and the wait is generally an hour to an hour and a half, but if you are a Safari Club member....you will be seated at the first available table for your party size! We use this everytime we go to WDW and it works out great! If I were you, I would either check with some friends to see if they have a card you can borrow or contact RFC and see if you can apply for the Safari Club via the internet. It will be well worth the $10 you spend!

Reviewed Creamed Spinach
Nov 4, 2010 in Food Network Community Toolbox on Food Network
"I eat spinach, but it has never been my favorite. I made this just to change up the usual side dishes. I'm so happy I did. It was absolutely amazing! We couldn't get enough. My boyfriend asked me to make it again for Thanksgiving it was so good!! I love Cajun food, so I really liked that it was a bit spicy. If you don't like food too spicy,..."

Ok so I was hoping to soon lead a build for the team but this time I chose a very unconvential attraction for us to tackle (gathering you all think it's a good idea and go for it). The reason I say attraction is because it is a mix somewhere in between a ride and a mueseum. That attraction I'm talking about is none other attraction than...
Team Trivia Tom Sawyer Island
So I had originally wanted to lead this project with the intention that it would be a small build with only about four rooms in the project. After pulling out an old map (on google, lol) of the island, I now see that if I want to pay any respect to this very much beloved attraction I have to have no less than 16 rooms. This includes, 1 Lobby Room, 2 River Journey rooms to the Island and then 13 major rooms. For a normal build this many rooms would be crazy long for a ride I however see Tom Sawyer's Island in the virtual world very much like it is in the real world, a free roaming attraction where guests come and go as the please but of course with enough scenery to keep them enthralled. It also gives this team a chance to include almost everybody in the build at some place or point. Anyway the purpose of this thread is to see how many members are interested and whether this project should be pursued or not. Thanks again and I will see you all in the virtual world!
Members on Board So Far
Double Duty
Rooms are now all accounted for! I'll post a list of room assignments soon (after 20K is finished). For right now keep in mind we will be needing the following
Brown Crates
Red Tiki Carpets
Palm Trees
Hippo Rugs *Newly Added*
Other random frontierland items*
*Use your imagination!
Get used to this map all you people! :)

Käthe von Nagy was born Ekaterina Nagy von Cziser (Kato Nagy) in Szabadka, Austria-Hungary (now: Subotica, Serbia) in 1904. At the age of 16 she planned to get married and therefor her parents put her in the Sancta Christiana Convent near Vienna. After that, she worked in her father's bank office in Budapest and secretly started to write short stories for a newspaper. She also attended the acting school of director Béla Gáal and in 1926, against the will of her parents, she went to Berlin to make films. While searching for an acting job she earned her money as a correspondent for the Hungarian newspaper Pester Hirlop. Hungarian director Alexander Korda helped her get her first film job. It was a supporting role in Männer von der Ehe/Men Before Marriage (1927, Constantin J. David), which got her the reputation of a 'backfisch'. The director, Constantin David, would also become her first husband. Soon followed roles in Gustav Mond... Du gehst so stille/You Walk So Softly (1927, Reinhold Schünzel) and Die Königin seines Herzens/Vienna, City of My Dreams (1928, Victor Janson) starring Liane Haid. With her first leading role in Die Durchgängerin/The Runaway Girl (1928, Hanns Schwarz) she became the up-and-coming young actress of the European cinema of the 1920's. Next followed the Italian production Rotaie (1929, Mario Camerini) and Mascottchen/Mascots (1929, Felix Basch) with Jeanne Helbling.

In 1930, Käthe von Nagy smoothly moved into the talkies. She appeared as a resolute demimonde dame with psychotherapeutic powers in the Jekyll-and-Hyde-drama Der Andere/The Other (1930, Robert Wiene), costarring Fritz Kortner and Heinrich George. She said goodbye to her 'backfisch' image and impersonated frequently the fashionable, elegant, a bit exotic type on the screen. Her operettas and musical comedies were very popular and confirmed her promise of the late 1920's. To her successes of the 1930's belong Ihre Majestät die Liebe/Her Majesty Love (1930, Joe May) with Franz Lederer, Meine Frau, die Hochstaplerin/My Wife, the Impostor (1931, Kurt Gerron) opposite Heinz Rühmann/I by Day, You by Night, Ronny (1931, Reinhold Schünzel), Ich bei Tag und Du bei Nacht (1932, Ludwig Berger) opposite Willy Fritsch, Der Sieger/The Victor (1932, Hans Hinrich, Paul Martin) with Hans Albers, Das Schöne Abenteuer/Beautiful Adventure (1932, Reinhold Schünzel), the the anti-Soviet propaganda film Flüchtlinge/Fugitives (1933, Gustav Ucicky), Die Töchter ihrer Exzellenz/The daughters of Her Excellency (1934, Reinhold Schünzel) and Salonwagen E 417/Luxury Train (1939, Paul Verhoeven) with Paul Hörbiger.

Because of her multilingual education Käthe von Nagy was able to establish in the French cinema too. As Kate de Nagy she became a star in France. To her French productions belong La Capitaine Craddock/Captain Craddock (1931, Hanns Schwarz, Max de Vaucorbeil) with Jean Murat, La route impériale/The Imperial Road (1935, Marcel L'Herbier) with Pierre Richard-Willm, Cargaison blanche/Woman Racket (1937, Robert Siodmak) opposite Jules Berry, and La bataille silencieuse/The silent battle (1937, Pierre Billon) starring Pierre Fresnais. She withdrew from the film business with the beginning of World War II. After the war she appeared only twice on the screen, in the French drama Cargaison clandestine/Alarm in San Juano (1948-1950, Alfred Rode) with Luis Mariano, and the German remake of Die Försterchristl/The Forester's Daughter (1952, Arthur Maria Rabenalt), alongside Johanna Matz. In the mid-1950's she went to California where she worked as a French teacher at Happy Valley School in Ojai, California. Käthe von Nagy died of cancer in Ojai, USA in 1973. After her marriage to Constantin J. David, she was married to the Frenchman Jacques Fattini.

We've been trying to find the perfect floorplan for our existing space (see the thread here), and I just wondered what great ideas you would all have if I was willing to remove a wall, get rid of a bathroom & closet, and expand the size of our kitchen. I'm having trouble finding an awesome layout that would make the (much more major) renovation/addition worth it. It seems like it's just too small for (for example) an island, and I kept making layouts that look like a labyrinth for the necessary paths through. Could you help? Here's the rules:
That's all, I think. Islands or worktables or peninsulas are OK. The light lines on the plan are 1 foot increments. Here's our whole house as it is now, and a blank plan is below. Thanks in advance for any ideas, even sketchy or half-baked ones. Eric |
Follow-Up Postings:
And here's my first try. I put a worktable in the center, but it's pretty tight to the stove door or to the dishwasher door. In our 1910s craftsman house a sturdy worktable would look right at home. There's a prep sink in the bottom left corner. |
Here's another one. Has a room-within-a-room vibe. The pantry storage would be at top- and bottom-right. Way far away from any sort of work area. |
Good to "see" you again. Back to the drawing board? There should be plenty of people interested in helping you break out of the old box entirely and move out to claim new territory. Oh, just saw your jump-starts and came back to say I really like #1. I could work there. :) (BTW, you thought you were on the right track before you bought a 36" refrigerator. It's not surprising if you changed your mind because of a number of other issues, but just in case--don't lose your powder room because the need to place a large refrigerator is a cumbersome last straw. It could go away almost as fast as it came.) |

Well, it makes me NUTS to have the main entrance to the house directly into the kitchen. I have that now and I am moving the kitchen away from its present location just to cure that. I live in the country and everybody heads to the back or barn yard door of a farm house. I loathe this because my mudroom gives right on the kitchen now. My solution: move the kitchen and make it so the mud room leads in to the newly-designated sitting room - a public space, formerly the kitchen. People will still use the back door, but they will find themselves entering the "front" door, but it will too late to change their paths. My mudroom will become my "front hall". One the side (and somewhat hidden from the obvious approach to the house) is the door to the woodroom, which is being reconfigured to include typical mudroomy features like hanging pegs for barn coats, trays for muddy boots, harness hooks, shelves for garden trugs, etc. That's the first thing I would change in your plan. HTH L> |
Rosie: I'm sure 3" of fridge isn't going to make us change our whole floor plan. If it does, you're right, it can go. The loss we would take on it would be a small one in the grand scheme. I just wondered. If I moved the bathroom, what would I gain? Would it be worth it? (Not that I know how much money that would be anyway!) If I wind up with the same plan but just more open space in the middle, that's not worth it. Two feet more counter space - not worth it. A 100% more functional kitchen? Worth it. |

As was suggested on your other layout thread, the radiator certainly makes things challenging. If you have access to the underside of the floor, how about going radiant for the room? Then you could reclaim that space, maybe put the sink there, in front of the window... I'd explore other options to heat the kitchen vs. mucking with load bearing walls. |
The wall I'm thinking of removing is perpendicular to the floor joists (which would indicate that it is load-bearing) but maybe isn't original. We suspect that one or the other of those two walls (left and right of the bathroom) was added to the house. If you could remove the radiator, what would the plan be? |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 21:02
Ok, something else completely different. Hope it sparks some ideas! Oops! Forgot to draw in the door to the dining room. It's the wall space between the bath and closet. |
I'd prefer the 1st layout, but it will be real tight. It may be better to have a smaller cab next to the fridge, then prep sink next to it. Is that a window next to DR door? If not, maybe you can move the door, have the fridge and a base cab for your coffee machine etc. on the upper wall. Then have the prep sink on the other side of the DR door. |
williamsem, I don't need a bathroom. The idea is I move it to an addition above the plan shown. You can just see the sink I added at the top of the plan. Yeah, that's a window. A real pretty one with original divided-glass woodwork. Small, though. It has hooks on the bottom now for some coats. Even if the window were not there, it's directly over a bulkhead staircase to the basement - so can't have the entry door there. I worry about having full-depth countertop so close to the bottom of the plan - it makes a "pinch point" between the corner of the counter and the opposite wall corner. I'll try to clean up both your ideas and post them. |

I cannot help on actual layout, but I do believe a radiator would fit under a sink. Or at least in some of the old farm houses out this way, they are done that way. Cabinet panels are holes that allow air circulation. Even if you didn't want a sink there, you could easily put a cabinet and countertop over it if the height is workable. I also agree with liriodendron. I wouldn't want my main entrance in the kitchen. I live in an old farmhouse, and the best way you fix that problem is to stick the kitchen in the front of the house with the front door leading right into it. Since we've lived here, not a single person has ever come to the front door. |
seattlecraftsman, Looks like you're keeping the bathroom where it is? There's not room for a full-depth counter in the passageway at bottom right. I'd have to do something like this: |
sena01, There's actually room for a fridge on the top wall, with side panels and all. I just measured. Could look like this: |
"sena01, There's actually room for a fridge on the top wall, with side panels and all. I just measured. Could look like this:" ****** Yes, that was what I meant, though thought fridge could be on the left, assuming no window there. But if you don't like the fridge right next to the entry, something like this might work. It sort of separates the kitchen from the entry. Edited to add more explanation. |
This post was edited by sena01 on Fri, May 24, 13 at 9:18
Just a quick suggestion based on problems I have with my own kitchen layout: depending on how/what you cook, if the cooktop is too far from a water source or main sink area (if you opt not to have a prep or cleanup sink), you'll find yourself dreading spaghetti nights. My one and only kitchen sink is about 8.5 feet away from my stove. Carrying large pots and pans to and from the stove is a chore, and when I'm hauling a huge stockpot filled with water it's a nightmare (canning is pretty much out of the question). This problem is compounded by the fact that our layout, like many of your proposed layouts, features main walkways through work triangles/centers of the kitchen... so imagine carrying a 20 quart pot from the sink to the stove and sidestepping people--and pets, if you have them. Since we're not in a position to renovate (2 small kids, 1 breadwinner), my solution was to put a large island/worktable in the middle so I had an intermediate landing spot for stockpots and pans. Still not ideal, but better than nothing. Just a consideration. |
sena01, I think you may have found the only way I could have an island. Meantime I've been messing with fridge-by-the-door plan, came up with this: |
- Posted by debrak_2008 (My Page) on Fri, May 24, 13 at 10:06
Does the prep sink have to be under the MW? I like that area for hot dish landing. |
I was really just thinking about the coffee nook, the pass-through, and the fridge. But yes, I just plopped the sink without thinking. How's this? |
- Posted by debrak_2008 (My Page) on Fri, May 24, 13 at 10:36
That would work better in my opinion. |
How deep is the MW? If you need deeper uppers, somewhere with less traffic may be preferable (next to pantry?). |
Boy, considering adding a new powder room outside and enlarging the kitchen really makes a difference. This particular design gives you a wonderful work space. The little L also means that family would be directed through the middle without coming too close to the stove. (BTW, just to note, my suggestion was for a standard 30" refrigerator, one door opening toward the work surface, for an additional 6" or so of counter space (without too much less capacity than a 36" counter-depth). Very unexciting compared to the current possibilities, but it'd be a means to an end just in case you ultimately decided to stay within the current footprint.) |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Fri, May 24, 13 at 12:40
What about swapping the kitchen to the dining room, and then adding on a dining room out the rear? A dining room isn't an expensive space to add, actually, because there's no plumbing in it. Your current kitchen could become the world's most awesome mudroom/pantry/laundry room combination. The door to the powder room could flip and be accessed through the now kitchen, and you could recess a fridge into the closet, keeping some storage cubbies on the pantry side. The new DR could be light, bright, and full of windows. You could even add enough of a plain box on to have a family room and dining room out the rear. IF your property would allow that. |
Hollysprings, The only addition I'm willing to consider is the bathroom I've mentioned. Otherwise I'm constrained to the current footprint of our house. And I'll only really consider adding the bathroom if it's really really worth it. Like probably half-the-value-of-our-house worth it. Thanks, though, and keep the ideas coming! |
sena01, In the picture just above, the microwave upper is 18" deep, and the counter below (with the sink) is 30". We're are considering putting the microwave in the pantry area (see the other thread) and I don't really like it because the microwave door opens the wrong way. That's a spot for a family that doesn't use the microwave very much, and we do. But, that's the one spot that's already got deep-enough cabinets at the right height for a microwave. My wife, shorter than I am, would prefer it lower than 18" above the countertop, too. (off-topic rant:) Along the same lines, a microwave-drawer should fit in a 18" cabinet, and they all require 21-22". Is there somebody out there trying to microwave 20# turkeys or something? Three dinner plates at once? I don't get it. |

to get a full featured microwave-and many of the newer features are quite nice-[keep warm/a good defrost function/multple power levels in one cooking session/sensor/reheat/preprogrammed settings],the guts are a little more complex than just popcorn/oatmeal/beverage.With venting requirements comes extra inches-you can push it up to the side or the back of your cabinet but with compromised venting there is risk-to the microwave of failing sooner and damage to your cabinet box sides/back.A base cabinet of standard depth with venting inches around the sides and back is a nice way to go if your wife is shorter and with kids who will use it. People complain about bending, but the sensor buttons allow for less programming on your part and the turntable generally means less stirring and therefore leaving the process 'alone" less in/out of the unit so much.Microwaving is a fairly quick process-the bit of bending to insert and remove from below counter is something people can get used to and if they particularly get acquainted with the functions on a full featured unit, can make a strong case to place below counter.People who resist the full featured sized units and are content with 800 watt countertop types are in many regards better just having a spot on the counter for this unit,IMO. |

elofgren, I'm just getting started What program/web site did you use to do your ayout? Thanks!!!! |
I kind of liked the u-shaped layout. It keeps traffic out of the work space, and gives people a place to perch, by the radiator, without being in the way. Or, rotate the u-shape, so it's a "C", with the opening on the right. Gives a serving counter for the dining room and easy access to the pantry storage on that right-side wall. |

Which movie would you want to see made into a ride?
I voted for the Incredibles because you didn't list National Treasure.
I voted to Change Stitch, because I hate Stitch, and you didn't list, Lion King, Beauty and Beast, Aladdin, or any of the other movies from the 90s.
Was putting Pixar moviesQuote:

The Icredibles would be pretty cool... I always had the idea about Monsters Inc. being a roller coaster involving the door scene before the DL ride came out... that would be awesome! :D
I would like to see the Monsters Inc. ride at WDW, or a version of it....I haven't seen it, but it sounds great! And of course I am up for some rehauling of the Stitch ride...
You know they could theme Test Track to Cars.... IMO that would be a bad idea.... But I have seen stranger things. Need I mention Stitch?
Stitch was terrible. I atcually never rode Alien Encounter, but Im sure it was better than Stitch.
I like the idea of a Monsters Inc. roller coaster with the door scene.
i think they should redo Star Tours. i know its not a new ride but it IS getting kind of old. Not a whole re vamp but just a new video in the back and a new monologue for Rex
I voted Incredibles given the choices, although I really wouldn't care for a ride for any of them.
Stitch is not a Pixar character.Quote:

I voted for a "Monsters, Inc." ride, but this poll should have been named, "Which Pixar movie would you want to see be made into a ride?"
Otherwise, I'd like to see "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" made into a movie.
Its not a pixar poll

On this day in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt establishes the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), an innovative federally funded organization that put thousands of Americans to work during the Great Depression on projects with environmental benefits.
In 1932, FDR took America's political helm during the country's worst economic crisis, declaring a "government worthy of its name must make a fitting response" to the suffering of the unemployed. He implemented the CCC a little over one month into his presidency as part of his administration's "New Deal" plan for social and economic progress. The CCC reflected FDR's deep commitment to environmental conservation. He waxed poetic when lobbying for the its passage, declaring "the forests are the lungs of our land [which] purify our air and give fresh strength to our people."
The CCC, also known as "Roosevelt's Tree Army," was open to unemployed, unmarried U.S. male citizens between the ages of 18 and 26. All recruits had to be healthy and were expected to perform hard physical labor. Blacks were placed in de-facto segregated camps, although administrators denied the practice of discrimination. Enlistment in the program was for a minimum of 6 months; many re-enlisted after their first term. Participants were paid $30 a month and often given supplemental basic and vocational education while they served. Under the guidance of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, CCC employees fought forest fires, planted trees, cleared and maintained access roads, re-seeded grazing lands and implemented soil-erosion controls. They built wildlife refuges, fish-rearing facilities, water storage basins and animal shelters. To encourage citizens to get out and enjoy America's natural resources, FDR authorized the CCC to build bridges and campground facilities. From 1933 to 1942, the CCC employed over 3 million men.
Of Roosevelt's many New Deal policies, the CCC is considered by many to be one of the most enduring and successful. It provided the model for future state and federal conservation programs. In 1942, Congress discontinued appropriations for the CCC, diverting the desperately needed funds to the effort to win World War II.

Temporary Injury or Illness
Q: If I get sick or am injured, but it's temporary, can I get accommodations under the under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
A: Temporary illness or injury are not covered under the ADA, however the University of Denver is committed to supporting the needs of students with temporary disabling conditions. Medical documentation may be required.
Q: What accommodations can I get if I've broken my leg or writing hand?
A: If academic accommodations are needed, students should contact the Disability Services Program (DSP) by calling 303-871-2278 / 7432 / 2455. While arranged case-by-case, here are some examples of accommodations:
1) Extra time and/or scribes for tests in DSP testing center.
2) Relocation of classrooms or on campus housing.
3) Note takers in class.
Q: Can I be excused from classes?
A: No, prolonged absences from classes are not considered to be appropriate since attendance is an integral part of DU classes. You should contact your instructors about any missed work. If you are unable to attend classes then you may want to consider a "medical stop out". Contact DSP for more information.
Q: I need help getting to and from classes and I can't type my papers – will DU provide me with a personal assistant?
A: No, DU does not provide personal care, assistance with out of class assignments/activities, and transportation to and from classes for any students.
The University of Denver campus is relatively small (80 acres, which is about seven city blocks wide, east to west, and eight blocks long, north to south) with plentiful, well-maintained sidewalks around and through the campus. On campus transportation is not provided, but students who need extra time to move between class buildings and residence halls because of mobility challenges may be eligible for accommodations such as early registration and/or classroom changes through the Disability Services Program (DSP).

Who Is Guru Maharaj Ji?
In late 2009 a former community audio/visual co-ordinator for Divine Light Mission was cleaning out his attic and contacted the Ex-Premie Forum to see if anyone might want the boxes of tapes, magazines and some 35mm films that he hadn't destroyed when ordered to in the early 1980's. The film quality had deteriorated during the 30 years but were professionally converted to DVDs.
This film, produced in the early '70s chronicles the genesis of Prem Rawat (previously known as Guru Maharaj Ji as well as 'The Lord of the Universe') as seen by his fervent followers at the time. Rawat is presented here as the pinnacle of all existence. It is a highly educational piece of evidence of how tens of thousands of people in the "1960's Hippie" movement ended up joining this cult (or New Religious movement) for a few months or for 40 years. The complete film has been uploaded to Youtube! Click here for details
The film has a 20 minute dialogue free introduction: Click here to see a summary of it
Man, (click here for video) we can finally understand that what man has got in his brain is to destroy the whole world. He does not understand that if he tries to cut the same branch he is sitting on he will also fall down. He doesn't understand that so he is trying to cut the same branch on which he is sitting. He is trying to cut away the same world he is sitting on he is on. Now if this will be destroyed then where the man will live?
Now I am here in Tokyo (click here for video) to tell you about this Knowledge, to preach you about this Knowledge. Lord Buddha even taught 4 Noble Truths, Lord Krishna talks about this Word in Gita and when we go into Bible John talks about this Word, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. If you go there the other side you will find Mohammed saying the same thing: Pak Nam. If you into all the religions we will find one thing, all the scriptures we will find one thing, the Word. What is the Word? Something that is not speakable because you must remember one thing the definition of the Word is In the beginning was the Word, In the beginning. The Word was with God. The Word was God. Means this Word is God, it is not in alphabet, it is not 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'. When we say 'G', 'o', 'd' it's not appropriate word for God. Though we may define it in three forms, 'G' for Generator, 'O' for Operator and 'D' for Destroyer. We might say this but this is not God. God is beyond this, much beyond this. The scientists have defined this power as being energy and they say energy is never created and never destroyed. This is that energy and we have to understand this energy and be one with energy. Then only can we understand, then only can we realise why we have become into this world.
At the age of eight, (click here for video) Guru Maharaj Ji was delivering the spiritual discourse of the eternal wisdom to large audiences. He was born to Param Hans Satgurudev Shri Hans Ji Maharaj, the Perfect Incarnation of His time, regarded then as the Lord by millions. When Param Hans Satgurudev Shri Hans Ji Maharaj left his mortal body, in spite of three elder sons, He chose the youngest and commanded him to carry out the mission of peace in this world by revealing the Perfect Knowledge within inside each human heart.
God is Love
Song: "Love is God and God is Love
Love is Truth, Truth is Peace
And our Lord can show us the Way."
Speaking to large audiences Guru Maharaj Ji declared that if anyone comes to Him with a sincere desire and a guileless heart to receive the Knowledge of Eternal Perfectness He would
give them what they desired regardless of the fact of caste, creed, colour and nationality.
"Song: He's the Living lord today" If this Knowledge gives you peace, well and good, go ahead, if not, immediately leave it and go out
He then, on June 17th 1971, came to London. The first time He had ever been out of his country. He had come to the West to bring the message of great Love, Peace and Truth. Since then He has gained a following of 8 million around the world. People of all ideas, nationalities, colours, castes and creeds.
Song: He's the Living lord today
Bolie Shri Satgurudev
Maharaj Ki Jai
He's the Living lord today
And He's come down
to show us all the Way.
Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai! Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai! Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai! Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai
Well, actually there is nothing to say, … in this world, everyone, everybody thinks that you know, everyone is getting on without a, without a aim.
You get up in the morning - oh people well, ??? premies get up in the morning and do meditation and so on. But people, simply just ordinary people, they get up in the
morning, maybe they wash their faces, maybe they don't, they ride in their car, get to the office, return back to home, start doing something else, watch television, sit back …
Then comes the weekend, they get up late in the morning, take their cars, take them into the countryside. But where are we actually proceeding? Which, what is our aim? Where have we to go?
Nobody knows. They just, everyone is moving.
And it's like those sheep. When they move, and wherever one goes, the whole thing goes. And if one falls into the ditch, everyone follows him.
And when we talk talk about peace, people say, "I have got peace," because they think that aft getting sleep after three days of work is peace. When you are feeling damn hot you switch on the air conditioning, and that's peace. you know a lot of people think someone is standing for a long, long time, and he gets to sit for some reason, he thinks that's peace. Because he gets a great relaxation there, and that's what he thinks is peace. And that's why people come to me and say, "We don't need peace, we have peace." But they don't realize. But they don't understand, that's not peace: peace is something else, peace is something beyond that.
Right now, because there is not peace in people's mind, a war is taking place. As a matter of fact, there are many societies, there are many clubs who belong to this thing. They, they have guns, and they fight guns, and they make guns, and they design guns. They want war. There are factories who makes pistols and all these things; they want war. But if someone pulls a gun to them, they don't want war, they say, "Peace, brother." See? This is the thing. And when, when this will happen to people, then they will realize.
See, people were waiting for Jesus to come before. Before he came they were waiting for him as anxiously, or more, as we are waiting today. But when he came and was standing on this on this place, and people were passing by, and some said, "Oh, we believe. He's the Perfect Master," and some said, "No, he can't be Perfect Master." Because you see, so far we say, "Perfect Master is going to come." This is an intellectual thing. Because we think he isn't here, and he is going to come.
But Perfect Master is always with us. If Perfect Master is God. See, it says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh. And the flesh was Jesus." And if it was the Word that always had existed, how could Jesus come, and how could Jesus go? He was there with them before, and He is with us now. Why are we waiting for Him? Otherwise, He is not Perfect Master; He is not God. He cannot do anything to us, or if He does, and if He is perfect, He is with us, now, in our hearts. Because He's the Word.
There was a series of testimonies by prominent followers of Rawat, including his future wife. This may be how she came to his attention.
Guru Puja Festival (Guru Worship) 1973, London, England (Right Mouse Button Click here to download video clip)
Now I am going to say a very funny word to the world and this word sounds just very very strange to this world, but for that purpose we have all assembled here and that's "peace". You see peace in this world has become very strange for people. Peace in this universe has become a antique. It has become unique. It's like a antique thing that uh was there thousands and thousands and thousands of years ago and if now somebody sees it he says "Wow, you got a peace." This is what it is peace has become into this world, and always a Perfect Master has come into this world to reveal this Knowledge, to reveal this peace. I'm not talking about one saint, all the pictures you see. I think even more have come into this world to reveal this spiritual Knowledge, to reveal this peace that we have forgotten. And if we want to today receive and achieve this point of peace, we have to go to him who is known as Perfect Master.
Now when we say the words "Perfect Master" let me tell you this, it just sounds very strange to people, news medias, it just sounds very strange to them and one of the questions they put before me or before premies, people who have received this Knowledge, is that why do you call him Perfect Master? Why do you think he is Perfect Master? Well, according to them what they presume is that those people who say that I am Perfect Master they're trying to say that I am just very perfect. But the point is that they are not realising that what is the real meaning of Perfect Master is. Why do they call me Perfect Master?
See, if someone teaches you Maths, if someone teaches you English, if someone teaches you Science, you call him Maths master, English master, Science master, respectively. Same way, I can teach people peace. Again, I have to tell this to people, that I am not prophet, I'm not a prophet, I am just an ordinary human being with two legs, two eyes, and I work, and I voluntarily put myself here, so that I can reveal this Knowledge to people. I think because people need it, people have forgotten what this Knowledge is, and I am just teaching them perfectness and that's why they call me Perfect Master. And as a matter of fact, I am Perfect Master, because I can reveal them this peace. Not saying that I am bodily perfect, I'm not saying I am perfect because of this reason or that reason, but simply one reason because I can reveal them this Knowledge, which is perfect.

Prem Rawat's (Guru Maharaj Ji) Third World Peace Tour in New York City at the Louis Armstrong Stadium, July 28, 1973
Dear Premies, (Right Mouse Button click here to download video clip)
We have all assembled here, or at least supposed to be assembled here, to listen and to talk about this strange thing. Supposedly a phenomena to the world called this peace. Everybody is looking for this, in different ways, of course. Some people think it's in money, some people think it's in the external pleasures, some people think it's in the Himalayas, some people think it's in the nature. People are looking for it in different, different ways, but really it is in one place -- right within our hearts.
Now I think that's the same exact position with the whole world today. The whole world wants peace. Everybody wants peace. Now maybe we don't call it peace, maybe we call it peace of mind. Maybe we don't call it peace of mind, we call it Knowledge. Maybe if we don't call it meet er peace, we call it God. Maybe we don't call it God, we call we call it the Word. If we don't call it the Word, maybe we call it the primordial vibration. But it all comes to one point, that we need something. And that something that everybody is looking for is peace.
Why I we have assembled here. … Now I personally I don't I don't have to say anything see I can't promise anything to you except one thing. I can't say I will do this I can't say I will I will stop stop the war in Viet Nam; I, I can't promise all these things. But I can promise you one thing. I can promise you satisfaction of mind, I can promise you peace. Cause I have a method.
Now this thing that is within inside of us, it does not mean a change of religion. You can be a Christian, still follow it; you can be a Hindu, still follow it; you can be anybody following any religion of any caste, creed, color, nationality, coming from the north or south pole, coming from underwater, overwater, underland, overland, anywhere. If you are human being, if you are human being, that's it. That's good enough for you to realize this Knowledge, for you to experience the bliss within inside of us, it's beautiful, it's fantastic.
Well, that's all I have to say about this. And next it's completely up to you.
The film ends with a scene of Rawat driving a tractor about a field (for no real purpose but to be filmed or because
he was bored) and clowning around with his entourage.

By Matthew D. Cain & Steven Davidoff Solomon. ABSTRACT: We theorize a multi-dimensional picture of jurisdictional competition for corporate litigation. We test this theory by examining merger litigation in a hand-collected sample of 1117 takeovers from 2005 to 2011. We find evidence of state competition for merger litigation. Entrepreneurial plaintiffs' attorneys drive this competition by bringing suits in jurisdictions which have previously awarded more favorable judgments and higher fees and by avoiding unfavorable jurisdictions. States with an apparent interest in attracting corporate litigation respond in-kind by adjusting judgments and awards to re-attract litigation. These states award higher attorneys' fees and dismiss fewer cases when attorneys have been migrating to other jurisdictions. Our findings illuminate the dynamics and existence of jurisdictional competition for corporate litigation.
By Nathan B. Oman. "This Essay has three goals. The first is to provide a basic narrative of postwar Mormon expansion, identifying the basic periods and major developments. The second is to summarize the main legal issues provoked by this expansion. The scholarship on Mormon legal history has overwhelmingly focused on the 19th-century experience of the Latter-day Saints, resulting in general agreement about the basic structure of the narrative. We can divide the period between the lifetime of Mormonism's founder, Joseph Smith, and the subsequent legal experience of the Church in Utah. During Smith's lifetime, his personal difficulties dominate the story, particularly in the highstakes legal maneuvering in Nauvoo, Illinois, which ultimately led to his murder; but once in Utah, the legal story focuses on the efforts of the Mormons to create an independent commonwealth and the struggle with the federal government over polygamy. There is no similar narrative for Mormon legal experience in the 20th century. This Essay fills this gap by providing an overview of the legal issues involved in the post-war international expansion of the Church. The third goal is to advance an argument about the relationship between this legal experience and the development of Mormon discourse in the last half of the 20th century."

ABSTRACT: This Note argues that, of the tests currently used by circuit courts to determine who constitutes an "employee" under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Supreme Court should clarify that the totality of the circumstances test is most consistent with its decision in Walling v. Portland Terminal Co. This issue calls for clarity in light of the influx of litigation surrounding unpaid internships—most prominently, the recent decision in Glatt v. Fox Searchlight Pictures Inc. With this growth in litigation, employers and interns alike deserve a uniform approach in determining "employee" status under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Hair questions on air drying and a little more.
|A young lady left a comment on my blog which I've divided into 3 questions. Please read her question below.
Q: Hi I just wanted to say that I came across this site about 2 months ago, when I started my journey. In the beginning, my hair was fine with minimal damage after my relaxer, but then I began to air dry. No matter how many times I try after a wash, I always end up with tangled dry hair that breaks with every touch. I did an egg treatment two weeks ago, that helped, but yesterday I air dryed again and my hair is still dry and damaged and breaking! I don't know what to do! Before, I must admit that I was reckless with my hair, I had actually left my hair in braids for almost 6 months ( in my family hair has never been a priority) and I suffered major damage when I took them out. But I got a trim and my hair seemed healthy for the first few weeks before the air drying. Please help, and can you also give me airdrying alternatives (I'm done with that) and hair band alternatives.
Air drying can break your hair if you're not using the right products or following the right techniques or you have very coarse and/or 'texlaxed' hair. You can read this link on HOW I AIRDRY MY HAIR WITHOUT FRIZZ.
However, if your hair is still breaking when you air dry, you can try:
- Blow drying your hair with COLD air; OR
- Rollerseting your hair. That will leave your hair feeling silky and smooth.
Q: I'm 15 and it is a requirement to wear our hair in a ponytail 24/7 in school, and I always find clumps of hair on my ponytails whenever I take them out, and I promise they are not even rubber or with the metal bands! I really don't understand. Since I've started, I've been doing everything by the book: Preepoo, DC'S, treatments, greenhouse, you name it! My parents think its ridiculous because I say I'm on a healthy hair journey, but my hair is even worse than it was before!
Have you tried using satin scrunchies? Using banana clips are also a good idea. Do you pack or bun your hair when it's wet? That can also lead to breakage. Can you check the ingredients of all the products you're using. Do they contain proteins, mineral oil and/or petrolatum? Sorry about the comments of your parents: it takes a while to get the hang of a healthy hair journey… so don't worry about that.
Q: Ps, my hair is about collarbone length and seriously uneven. I'm not considering cutting it any shorter because I know that has never been a good look for me. Sorry for the long post and thank you so much.
Since your hair is seriously uneven and you don't want to cut it shorter, I advise that you trim your hair gradually over a period of time till you achieve ends.
Can you ladies suggest more tips for our lady above?

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 Lucy--adopted!!
Facts about Lucy--adopted!
- Breed: Doberman Pinscher
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lucy--adopted!'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This happy little girl is Lucy! She is 2 years old, black and tan with natural ears and a docked tail. She was surrendered to us because of a change in living situation and has quickly made friends at the rescue. She loves everyone and everything, plays well with other dogs and gets along cats and loves any attention she can get. She's very energetic and would do well in an active household. She would be fine with children but can be a little bouncy for very young children.
Other Pets at Southwest Ohio Doberman Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lucy--adopted!, a New Richmond Doberman Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Doberman Pinscher for sale in New Richmond, or seeking a Doberman Pinscher dog from a breeder in New Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Richmond 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 New Richmond 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 Doberman Pinscher breeders who help with Doberman Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

"The biggest challenge is being consistent with finding the right size of fruit," he said.
"We've been able to identify certain varieties to pretty much have a consistent supply of large-size fruit."
Grande Blues are available from late April through September, during the California and Oregon blueberry seasons. Hurst's mixes larger berries into its regular packs, too, Perkins said.
Hurst's, a year-round blueberry shipper, expects to pick Oregon blueberries into September. The late-season crop is expected to be put into controlled atmosphere storage to maintain a supply of high-quality Oregon berries for the market until Argentinean and Chilean blueberries take over in about late September.
Hurst's also ships blueberries from Canada, where good volumes were expected to be available by late July.
Early blueberry harvest at Oregon Berry Packing Co., Hillsboro, Ore., got under way July 1, said Brian Malensky, vice president of domestic sales.
The crop was good quality and the weather was good for producing large berries. Malensky said he expected a big crop of duke variety blueberries. He expected mid-season blueberries would be ready for harvest by about July 20, with late season berries ready about Aug. 15.
In August, consumers should be impressed with some of the newer varieties of blueberries that are expected to be sweet and large, Malensky said.
He said he thinks the industry hasn't yet reached its production potential in August and September, but that some newer varieties will help increase late summer volumes. Among Oregon Berry's newer varieties are liberty, aurora, legacy and ochlockonee. They offer more flavor and are firmer, Malensky said.
"Our feeling is that in the future, berries will be promoted more by variety, like the bing cherry," Malensky said.
"The superior buyers will want to know what varieties they're buying."
Oregon Berry can harvest blueberries into October. It has controlled atmosphere storage, where it can hold some varieties of blueberries for about six weeks.
Malensky said the company holds and ships berries until the Argentinean deal begins in the fall. He said he did not have estimates for the number of trays it was expected to ship, but said the company produces about 10% of the state's blueberries.
