PSCPets Joint Support for Dogs contains a blend of ingredients that help to support healthy bones, joints, and surrounding tissues. Containing glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, manganese, and Vitamins E, PSCPets Joint Support for Dogs is perfect for supporting healthy joints and flexibility for your dog.
Glucosamine is easily absorbed and has long been thought to help maintain the health and resiliency of joints, treat arthritis, and prevent the degeneration of cartilage. In osteoarthritis, the cushion that surrounds the joints becomes thin and stiff. Glucosamine is used in the body to create this cushion.
Chondroitin is often given along with glucosamine because its use has been thought to increase the efficacy of the glucosamine.
PSCPets Joint Support was formulated to support the whole dog, and because of this, contains several extra ingredients that help with total health. Manganese is a necessary part of a number of enzymes that are essential in detoxification of damaging free radicals and Vitamin E is also an important antioxidant because it is involved in immune function.

chews with a dual purpose
I love PSC joint support chews! Both my dogs use this product with great results. My 8 yr old has arthritis and my 2 yr old was hit by a car previous to my adopting him and had damage to his legs.
This is the one joint product that they can agree on. I also love it because I use it as a way to give one of them her daily medication. I just split the joint chew in half and squish the pill inside. Then I sort of roll it into a ball. I save a lot of money not having to buy pill pockets or similar products. I am SO pleased with this product!!
Great Product
I've used this product for quite some time now and have had wonderful results. I have a 11 year old who is moving so much better now and am starting my adopted new girl (special needs) on it!!
No more Guessing!
I absolutely love this product because it has all of the ingredients that my dog needs in a soft chew form that she begs for! I used to give a tablet, but then would sometime find half a tablet that would be spit out when I would turn my back. Now, the soft chew is gobbled down so fast because she loves it that I don't need to check the floor for any refused supplement. I recommend this to everyone!

Big, mainstream brands like J.Crew and Target have done an exceptional job turning their images around with the help of artful styling. In the case of the former, Jenna Lyons and a team of hip stylists create the kind of frothy tableaus you see here and lookbooks to compete with any high-fashion brand, and the latter gets the job done thanks to collaborations with "it" designers like Rodarte. Forever 21 has evolved into a more sophisticated brand as well, attracting plenty of over-21s who want to buy into their sweet, oh-so-sweetly priced trendy goods. We love 'em! But when it comes to the professional styling game, it looks like this season at least, they have failed. No really. FAIL. [Nitrolicious]

I write to encourage the traditional way of celebrating Halloween—for the sake of the children. I think we as Christians should not be narrow, rigoristic, abstact logicians about this "feast," but rather look at the existential reality. Here's how I remember it from my youth.
First, Halloween was the only other celebration besides Christmas that involved the whole neighborhood. Further, it involved some living notion of love of neighbor and love of strangers—key indicators of true Christian charity. The idea that complete strangers in the vicinity of my home would freely give me candy for the asking (candy being a high priority for an 8-10 year old) struck me as the very height of genuine love! It proved that there was goodness in the world! It proved that their was goodness in the human heart, that people were ready to sacrifice (for me!), ready to spend their hard-earned money for the pleasure of my little self. It proved thus that I was worthy and important; it proved that children in general were important. Now isn't that a message that 21st Century America needs to hear? The Roman thinker Juvenal says, "Great reverence is owed to a child." Similarly, in Confucius, "The Master said, 'Respect the young.'" As far as I was concerned as a little guy in the 50's, when I walked up to a door and said "Trick or treat!" and then got a load of goodies, it showed great respect for the young! Not just my intimate family, but the whole broad society "out there" appreciated and valued me. There really was such a thing as love of neighbor. This was what Halloween proved in tangible fashion—rivaled only by Christmas.
But, what about the "problem" that little kids were dressing up as ghouls, goblins, monsters, devils, skeletons, i.e., evil things, and seemingly "extorting" candy via blackmail with this "Trick or treat" phrase? Isn't this perverted, confusing, anti-Christian, destructive, a bad example, etc., etc.? If we celebrate this "icky" pseudo-holiday at all, shouldn't we make our kids ONLY anticipate the next day and dress up as saints, angels, the Virgin Mary, etc.?
Now, I'm afraid my initial "gut" reaction to this argument, remembering my childhood, is "Give me a break! Why don't you 'know-it-all,' rigoristic, judgmental adults grow up! Get back in contact with reality! Don't just argue from rationalistic abstractions! Remember what it was like to be a kid for crying out loud!"
Why do I say this? Well, first, I think it's fine if a kid wants to dress up as a saint or the Virgin Mary on Halloween, or a sports star, or a movie star, or a politician, etc., but I think it's also fine to dress up as a ghoul or a monster or a devil. Why? Because as kids we all knew it was make-believe. We knew even if we dressed up as a devil that we were mocking the devil. And, as C.S. Lewis said, "Above all else, the devil cannot stand to be mocked." We knew as kids that we weren't really imitating the devil or trying to be like him (nor did we want to be), we were mocking and insulting him when we dressed up in monster or devil costumes and asked for candy. And we knew that "Trick or treat" was not a threat, but a humble petition, trusting in the goodness of the person we addressed. We were presuming on the goodness of the other in asking for a gift—the exact opposite of what the devil does. In fact we were doing what the devil forbids himself from doing, humbly accepting gifts!
Moreover, it was simply great fun! And this can be seen on a wider scale than just on Halloween. Play with any two-year old, like my latest grandchild Sophie (20 months). She loves these games where I try to sneak up on her and then she throws out her arms at me and says "Poof" (or some such thing) and then I fall back in fright or roll over and make weird sounds of submission and kick my hands and feet in the air! And she howls with joy and laughter at this seeming power over me! (I know I'm a Phd full professor of philosophy, but I'm also a granddad! If you think it's undignified, get over it!) Well, older kids are similar and Halloween is similar. We knew as kids we had absolutely no power to force candy out of our neighbors, but the very idea that in imagination we could turn the world on its head that way was delightful and exhilarating! Why not let it be so? Why squelch it? Why deprive kids of that joy? Let them imagine they rule the world for an evening.
Another thought. When children "make-believe" that they are the bad guys, they may just be creatively and imaginatively "putting on" that mind-set as a way of trying to understand it from within, walking around in fantasy in that world-view as a way of coming to grips with it. This can help the child to actually reject evil in reality, i.e., if they have imaginatively "lived" it—and thus it is no longer just some great mysterious unknown that might seem attractive just for that reason. I'm reminded of a story Dr. Josef Seifert (Rektor of the International Academy of Philosophy) once told me from his youth. His mother Edith, a very holy woman, was quite concerned one day when she found her two young sons, Josef and Benedikt, playing as cannibalistic savages in the heart of the African jungle. She sat the young boys down and encouraged them rather to play-act as if they were Christian missionaries to the cannibalistic savages. A noble thought! They agreed and began their game again. She was quite satisfied at the success of her intervention, turning their game toward the good. However, she came out 10 minutes later and found that the "savages" were now boiling the "missionaries" for lunch! My point is that children need to use their imagination to come to grips with evil. I think it helps them not to be evil in reality when they can make-believe being "rascally" through imaginative play. I think Halloween fits here as well.
Let the kids enjoy their evening! They know what they're doing, and it's not evil. Halloween is a great communal feast of love geared toward the joy and imagination of children. Deal with it!
I wholeheartedly agree. I was struck by the same kind of thing, buying candy for the trick-or-treaters at the grocery store yesterday afternoon--the candy aisle was full of people buying expensive candy for someone else's kids, and they all seemed unusually happy for people at a supermarket.
Also, on a practical note, my brother Jacob once needed a costume that would serve for Halloween and an All Saints' Day party, where he was required to dress as a saint, and he had no desire to be something un-gory--so he went trick-or-treating AND to the party as St. Lawrence, full of soot, with a barbecue grill strapped around his belly. And everyone was satisfied.

Very creative solution with the St. Lawrence costume! Love it! I'm sure others saints/martyrs might be able to do double duty here too.
#2 - Nov. 2 at 12:58am | quote
My nephew Peter went as a saint who had his head chopped off--I forget which one--and it doubled for trick-or-treating and All Saints'. He buttoned his collar above his head, stuck his head in between two of the lower buttons, and held it in his hand. Very convincing!
#3 - Nov. 2 at 1:02am | quote
I'm sure St. Paul, St. Thomas More, and many others feel deeply honored!

NVIDIA to Get 1.5 Billion US Dollars from Intel in Licensing Fees
As some of you will certainly remember, back in November 2010, we were talking about just how badly Intel requires the right to use NVIDIA technologies in order keep up its edge against AMD, and now, it seems that the two computing behemoths have finally reached a deal, that will see a rather hefty amount of money exchanging hands (or bank accounts, if you prefer).
So, the two companies have just announced the fact that NVIDIA has signed a new six-year cross-licensing agreement with Intel, following which the latter will have access to the former's full range of patents in exchange for $1.5 billion in licensing fees, to be paid in annual installments. Moreover, a bit of cross-licensing has also been thrown in the mix, since NVIDIA will also have access to Intel's patents, apart from Intel's proprietary processors, flash memory and certain chipsets for the Intel platform, as NVIDIA puts it, without providing any further details on the matter. In its own statement, however, Intel details what patents are left out of the deal, pointing out that we're talking about the x86 platform and other, unnamed, products. "This agreement signals a new era for NVIDIA," said Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA's president and chief executive officer. "Our cross license with Intel reflects the substantial value of our visual and parallel computing technologies. It also underscores the importance of our inventions to the future of personal computing, as well as the expanding markets for mobile and cloud computing." |

Hi all,
My grocery store streptocarpella (see link below) is now blooming beautifully, and drying out every 48 hours. If I divide and repot, (with a soil mix like I'd use for AV's), will that kill the blooming off, or will it just slow it down a little? I believe this one is supposed to be a year-round bloomer. I was also wondering about how tough the cuttings are. How well do they mail? Anyone out there with experience? Thanks so much! Andalee |

No doubt that there are only few positive findings in the sequel (and their magnitude is not really that inspiring) and most of the old pluses were left back in 2004. However developers from Ubisoft Montreal managed to take up the most valuable trends in open-world shooter genre. Lead designer Jamie Kean answers our (and hopefully yours) questions of interest regarding their current project in this interview.
Hello. Please, introduce yourself and talk about you role and position in your company.
Hi there, my name's Jamie Keen and I'm the Lead Game Designer on Far Cry 3.
Why did Far Cry series returned to the tropical jungle? How do you personally estimate the results of setting changes in the sequel?
We wanted to introduce the player to a group of people that had been isolated too long, and had developed a different moral compass. Then we asked where do we think this unique cast would really live?
And in a weird way an island paradise just made sense, and honestly I love that we're using the jungle, it lets us do so many things – and this beautiful island setting really juxtaposes with the horrendous things you find there. From a gameplay perspective, you get these gorgeous, lush environments which you can use to your advantage – stealth or action, you get some great fights happening.
We can use it to really enhance some of the narrative – nothing makes you feel quite so alone as wandering waist deep through dark mangroves, when you know there are crocs about and a bunch of guys with machine guns hunting you down. Personally, I love most the sense of discovery it brings – we can tuck things away so that when you find them, it really feels like you're the first person that's been there in years – that sense of exploration and wonder is really special.
Why your studio decided to refuse sci-fi elements that had place in the original game?
Our intention was to create a credible experience that you or I could potentially live through. In the game, there are enough intense and unusual things that happen to you that we didn't need to go into any science fiction. There are enough crazy experiences within the boundaries of real possibility that we didn't feel we needed to move those boundaries beyond that!
They say that a human, especially mad, is the cruelest monster. Vaas is a thorough bandit, obviously with mental deviations but not deprived of intellect. In your opinion, is it more interesting to gamers to oppose realistic charismatic villains rather than a fantastic enemy? Why?
I think the scariest characters are the ones you believe you could run into in your everyday life. It's really unlikely that we'll be overrun by aliens anytime soon, but it's pretty common to hear something nasty that someone's done most days, and what would it be like to meet a person like that? Worse still, what would it be like to run into them where you don't have any of the trappings of society around to save you – no police or hospitals – you're on your own, and somewhere really unfamiliar.
And even worse still, they're not just doing it to you, but to your family and friends too – how would you react to that? But the characters you meet aren't all cartoon villains, and I think that's the thing that makes them most scary – Vaas is a monster, no doubt, but there are traits there that you'll recognize – possibly in Jason's character, possibly even in yourself – that's the thing that we want to really make you think about…
By the way, why has the team decided to leave Far Cry 3 as a "sandbox", not to make it a "linear" game?
Far Cry is and always has been at its heart an open world shooter experience. It's something that's really important to me that we keep that sense of freedom, that sense of discovery in the world that we build, that players want to find out what's around the next corner. Coupled with that, this time out we wanted to really expand on the storyline, to give you both the wide open world and also a directed narrative with the highs and lows that can bring. It's not the easy choice, but it's something that the team felt is the next step on for the game – and it's important that this is experience is something on a very human scale – despite the game's size, we want you to feel like it's a personal experience that you're living in Jason's shoes.
How important to not only provide a gamer with freedom of movement, but also to let him choose a style to play by himself, not to force him just to slash everyone (like, for example, in Serious Sam) or, vise versa, to operate like Hitman?
Freedom for the player to decide how to approach the game is paramount for us. This idea of the 360 degree approach really permeates everything. The playoff between stealth and action is a tricky nut to crack, but it's important to have the fidelity in the experience that allows and promotes both. You will have a variety of tools at your disposal that will let you follow your own style: skills and equipment upgrades will enhance and expand your experience, a huge variety of weapons and environmental gameplay, like fire and water, will all give you more options on how to approach each scenario.
Most of all though, the AI needs to react to the player in the right way, and will behave differently depending on how you're playing – and then react if you change your approach. And this flexibility in approach lets you as the player change the feel of the game on the fly, simply by changing the way you're playing. Want to try to sneak through an outpost? Go ahead. Feel like letting off steam? Go in guns blazing. It's really up to you.
Why did you introduce an experience system in Far Cry 3? Nowadays a huge number of developers do that, so how are you planning to exceed your competitors in the experience system aspect?
Again, I think this speaks to wanting to let the player make choices about the experience they want to have. We want to keep you feeling like you're growing as a character as you grow as a player and learn the systems. If we dropped all the different skills and upgrades on you at one time, it's overwhelming, but if you learn them step by step, you can decide which areas you're interested in and put more emphasis on those.
And as you learn more abilities, you can see how you can use them to confront different situations, see how they impact gameplay. Takedowns for example – there are some pretty complex moves – by the time you've mastered them, you can jump from a roof taking down two pirates, chain to grab the next guy, then grab his pistol and kill anyone else around – it's a complex set of interactions, but hugely powerful when you've mastered it.
Can we hope for something brand new in firing?
We have a strong suite of weapons, each of them customizable with different attachments. One of our key focuses is to make sure that each weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages so that you play with your full arsenal. Also, we want the player to use different weapons for different situations. There are even some "exotic" weapons that will be a blast for the player as they allow you to do some nasty things to your opponents.
And it's not just shooting the guns themselves, but how you move around the battlefield. By the time you've mastered all your skills, you'll be sprinting and sliding, vaulting over covers, disappearing into jungle to reappear behind enemies – all of these moves and weapons in combination add a fluidity to the player's experience that allow you to think about FPS combat in a new way.
What element of Far Cry 3 is the team proud the most of? And what about the publisher?
I can really only answer for myself, but I will say that it's hard to single out one element alone. Overall, I think it's the scale of the game that we're bringing that's really something we're proud of. There's so much here – a massive open world experience, set in this lush tropical paradise, with great directed missions and a story and character performances that bring something really new and human to the brand. Not to mention all the multiplayer and co-op modes, and the map editor. I love that we're being so ambitious on pretty much every front, and it's rare to be given the opportunity to have that kind of ambition these days.
And finally, please, name the most significant reason (in your opinion) why we should be looking forward to play Far Cry 3.
I'm slightly biased, but for me it's all about the open world. I just love jumping in a jeep or quad and just heading off the path into the forest, taking outposts, exploring caves, diving off coastlines. One of the things I love most is when the systems do something unexpected – the first time I saw a tiger charge a Pirate roadblock? That was pretty cool….
Bio.Jamie Keen is the Lead Game Designer on Far Cry 3. He has worked for the last 10 years or so at EA and DICE, cutting his teeth working on Battlefield titles, and was the Producer on BF Bad Company. Moving from the dark side of production to the light side of design, he is now enjoying a significantly more planning-free version of game development as a result. Excel still manages to plague his daily life however. One of his greatest memories in game development was when he went to a live fire tank exercise in Germany with the British Army.
The creator of the cult gangster action game Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven Daniel Vavra about one of the prettiest and biggest role-playing games of next-gen.
There were Novgorod Pirates that were bothering us in Infinite Space for DS, not to mention fairly regular additions to the library of titles with an overly stereotypical representation of Russian history, majority of which is an obvious propaganda. For the developers of The Mandate, on the other hand, it's more of an exotic and appealing setting that allows to fuse together the core mechanics of the old-school RTS/RPG with an array of fresh and innovative features.
Last year the founder of People Can Fly and father of Painkiller and Bulletstorm, Adrian Chmielarz, left the studio to establish a new company that goes by the name The Astronauts. Distancing itself from a familiar genre of shooters, his new studio has recently been working on a gloomy adventure game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. We couldn't miss an oportunity to ask Adrian a couple of questions about his new project.
I'm fairly convinced that Witcher 3 is going to be amazing. During the last half of the year we've talked to developers three times, discussing not only the new Witcher, but also another ambitious RPG that's been developed in CD Project RED for two years already. We've seen Witcher 3 with our own eyes, and it DID have all the promised fixes, improvements and the open world. No doubt – CDP does everything the right way, and our latest talk with CEO Marcin Iwinski is just another proof of that.
City Interactive are making a shooter which is to become a step forward for the war against fascists setting.
As soon as Lords of the Fallen was announced, it was labeled as «German Dark Souls». At a first glance this observation does seem correct — both games are harcore RPGs that focus on combat and exploration. But as soon as we dig deeper we see that LotF developers have quite different priorities than their Japanese colleagues. What are the differences between LotF and Dark Souls, what weapons can player crush skulls with, what are the «educated guesses» and how did RPG development accents shifted told us Tomasz Gop, executive producer of Lords of the Fallen.
We would like to present the interview with WB Games Montreal, which is to pass the important test - developing of Batman games series.
What happens if you try to turn turn-based tactics in a third-person shooter? We will know the answer very soon, because The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will release this week. While waiting, we decided to find out what should we expect from The Bureau and to ask some questions straight to the developers.
He says he's not a storyteller, yet his games never cease to amaze us with their deep plot and their intricate questions. He keeps positive outlook on things, yet his paintings are colored in gloomy dark crimson tone. Our previous interview with the famous designer was timed to launch of OZ campaign, and now, during conversation about a green-eyed girl travelling between two worlds, I realized that I am not so worried about the fate of little gun-wielding Dorothy. We'll definitely see her comeback — she has her loyal Tin Woodman in the person of a modest storyteller from Shanghai.
Interview with the developers of the promising zombie project called ROAM. Ryan Sharr, the team leader and former employee of Gas Powered Games, answered our questions.
We really do like to talk with The Creative Assembly's representatives, the authors of the cult strategy series Total War. The studio's employees are not only true professionals that are doing fine games, they're also very passionate and intelligent people. This time questions on the upcoming Total War: Rome 2 (and not only) from GameStar.ru have been answered by Al Bickham, Studio Communications Manager, and Jamie Ferguson, Lead Battle Designer.
The interview with the developers from Ubisoft Montreal about one of the most awaited games of 2013 — Watch Dogs. While looking like any other action game, Watch Dogs is planning to discuss the ideas of modern dependence on technology and information with a serious face. And while there's GTA 5 and another sequel of our favourite Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs will surely take its place among the greatest.
Satellite Reign is notable because of its developer, who was involved in development of original Syndicate and Syndicate Wars. We talked to Mike Diskett about his new game, cyberpunk and why this topic is so relevant now. Details — in this interview.
Most recently, Pencil Test Studio has successfully ended the Kickstarter campaign. We decided to talk to the developers about developing process, how difficult it is to make a game from clay and why community is so important.
The announcement of Shadow of the Eternals is a great news to both ED fans and gamers that didn't have a chance to play it — a team lead by founding father of Silicon Knights is now determined to develop a spiritual successor to famous ancestor. About reasons for using CryENGINE 3, larger storyline scale and choosing the main cast, about connections between the SotE and ED speaks Denis Dyack, founder of Precursor Games.
American McGee is preparing something big: concept art from Alice-sequel and the new project called OZombie began to appear in the Internet. To learn more about these new games, we have addressed the list of questions to Mr. McGee personally. We could not figure out specific details, but still we had a nice chat.
We talked to the key developers of Torment: Tides of Numenera about similarities between the new inXile game and Planescape: Torment, how to start a successful Kickstarter campaign and why it is very difficult to sell the hardcore RPG to publisher.
What horrors do horror developers play, how is personal nightmare born, what are the inspiration sources and how to scare the hell out of veteran gamers — Jared Gerritzen, сreative director at Zombie Studios, kindly agreed to answer these and other our questions.
Will the new team be able to carry over the unique atmosphere of one of the most intelligent stealth-series out there to their new title? Why is there other actor replacing fans-favoured Stephen Russel? Will the new game be able not to stain the reputation of one of the most difficult stealth series? The answers to all of these questions you will find in this interview.

Program Basics
Dec 4th, 2013 by Ginnie Hench
Welcome to your first source for info on UNC's Howard Hughes Medical Institute Future Scientists and Clinicians (HHMI-FSC) undergraduate fellowship program! This is a program for Carolina Covenant Scholars who want to do biomedical research at UNC during the upcoming 2014 summer. Fellowship awardees will receive $5,000 to work in the lab full-time (40 hours/week) for ten weeks, starting in mid-May and going until late July. We are now accepting applications.
- Eligibility requirements are listed under the 'Getting Involved' tab
- Upcoming deadlines and events are listed under the 'Dates & Times' tab.
- See the 'Application' tab for instructions on how to apply.
Since 2011, HHMI-FSC fellowships have been awarded to Carolina Covenant Scholars to undertake full-time research under the guidance of faculty advisors and graduate student or postdoc co-mentors. In addition to carrying out research in the lab, undergraduate fellows attend weekly meetings with their peers where they work on a range of skills necessary for success in science, including effective communication about their own research to people with varying levels of scientific expertise. Fellows also have an opportunity to visit a biotech company or government research facility in Research Triangle Park.
In past years, fellowships were awarded for two consecutive summers. Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to offer the full fellowship program for two summers as we have done in the past. During the summer of 2015, we may be able to offer financial support to students from the 2014 HHMI-FSC cohort on a case by case basis, but, as of January 2014, the weekly workshops and journal clubs series will not be offered.
The FSC program is offered through UNC's Office for Undergraduate Research and is part of a broader Science Learning Communities program that is supported by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Precollege and Undergraduate Science Education Program.

But Zweck, a former waitress, and Piceno, who now drives a truck for a living, knew they couldn't afford a home in Denver, at least not in a safe neighborhood. A friend tipped them off to Stapleton's affordable program, and the couple applied to move into the development by providing pay stubs to a housing consultant. With a combined income of $52,000, they made just enough — but not too much — to qualify for the house.
Just before the couple closed on the home, however, Zweck turned in a pay stub a bit above her average; she'd had a particularly good week for waitressing tips. With the extra money, she was told, they were now making more than the federal standard for affordable housing and no longer qualified. So Zweck quit her job temporarily, and they moved in. "We barely made it," she says. "You can't be over. Not even a penny."
But at $1,400 per month, their mortgage is double what it was in their last home. In addition, they have to pay a fee to their homeowners' association. With 401(k) payments, health insurance and house costs, there's little cash at the end of the month. And now that Piceno's sister and son are temporarily staying in Jolan's bedroom, the unit is crowded.
"'Affordable' is an illusion," Zweck says. "It's not like we're dying, but it's a lot of money every month."
Even so, Zweck, who is in school to become an aesthetician, says she's happy. And though Roslyn Court is sectioned off from the rest of community by streets and a parking lot, she says she doesn't feel isolated from the thousands of other Stapleton residents, some of whom live in million-dollar homes a few blocks away. "It's like the edge of the community," she says, "but I don't feel like people treat us differently."
While Zweck and Piceno bought into Stapleton early on, it took around four years for the community's existing affordable homes to fill up.
Forest City's hurdles to attracting buyers stem, in large part, from a factor that housing experts warn about: not knowing what people want, says Rachel Basye, of the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, an agency created by the state legislature that encourages affordable-home ownership.
"I think it comes down to understanding the market you are serving and not assuming that if you build something, they will come," she says. "Who is the market of that area? What are people looking for in that area? You should not assume you can build something else."
Lumping the affordable units together was the first mistake, says Jacky Morales-Ferrand, Denver's housing director and a former Forest City employee. In Roslyn Court and in Syracuse Village — where Nagel lives — each deeply discounted home looks identical to the rest, save for the color of the facade. This dearth of variety, both in appearance and cost, can blind a customer to the real value of the home.
"If I am an affordable buyer, I don't have anything else to compare it to," she says, adding that a more successful approach may have been to integrate the affordable units in with the market-rate homes. "I'm not willing to throw myself out there and say that that would solve everything.... I would say that as a matter of policy for the city of Denver, it is our preference to see the units more integrated on a building scale."
This tactic could also have gone a long way toward creating that "sense of community" championed in Stapleton's Green Book.
For David Michael, a consumer credit counselor who moved to Stapleton from California with his wife two months ago, the principle of inclusiveness played a role in his decision to buy there. "We did value that," he says. "We valued it as a spectrum, the idea of different people and populations." But Michael also liked the fact that they could "get something big and new," and he liked its proximity to downtown.
Michael and his wife bought a $500,000 home in Eastbridge, a Stapleton neighborhood that's about two dozen blocks from where Zweck and Nagel live, and he hasn't yet met anyone who lives in Stapleton's small number of low-income homes. "We've very much gotten to know our own neighborhood. They are at the same price point as we are."
Nagel and her neighbors, meanwhile, joke that they have been ghettoized as they chide their homeowners' association for letting the grass die in the common areas. "People say, 'Just because we live in affordable housing doesn't mean we live in the projects,'" she says.
Forest City has no plans to integrate affordable-housing units with its regular housing, but Gleason says the company won't rule it out. "Mixed-income is possible with financing," he says. "A mixed-income high-rise residential building is something that we would look at."
Stapleton's second misstep was to limit the product it offered to attached units, opting not to build single-family homes. Separate houses are typically more expensive to construct, but they are also very popular — especially for first-time homebuyers whose notions of ownership don't necessarily involve apartment-style living.

A freak accident in spring training could have ramifications for the Boston Red Sox pitching staff as starting pitcher Josh Beckett was hit in the head with a baseball Monday:
Beckett, who was standing in left-center field, went to one knee after he was struck in the left side of the head. Teammates immediately called for the training staff, and he was escorted off the field with his hand on his head.
The Red Sox said the pitcher did not need to be taken to the hospital and was treated at the park. The team initially said Beckett was OK, but he started to experience concussion symptoms and was sent home to rest.More from ESPNBoston.com's Joe McDonald:
The ball that struck Beckett was hit by Red Sox staffer Ino Guerrero, who was standing in the outfield during batting practice hitting shagged balls with a fungo bat back to a bucket behind second base when one got away from him.
"I think it hit him in the temple," [Red Sox manager Terry] Francona said. "I bet you it felt like a bolt of lightning. That's not really what you're expecting. It's just a fluke thing. Fortunately, it hit Beckett in the head. It's better than hitting him in the shoulder."
When asked what he said to Guerrero, Francona said: "I called him a dumb [expletive]."Assuming Josh Beckett's concussion systems do not linger for a long period of time, which will allow Ino Guerrero to keep his job, Guerrero should probably make some adjustments to his batting practice routine.

I've just purchased an LG dishwasher; I still have time to cancel the purchase if I decide against it. My current DW (Frigidaire - which is AWFUL!!!) has a heated dry cycle. Frankly, I thought they all did until speaking with the salesperson today. The LG I bought doesn't have that. It's not a cheap DW (although I guess that's point of view), and only the Frigidaires in the same price range $600-$700 had a heat dry cycle, among those at the store. There will never be another Frigidaire cross the threshold of my house. :-) Is not having a heated dry cycle a deal breaker for you? For those of you without it, is it ok? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Heated dry can get plastics dry but can also burn plastics and put more stress on other dishes. Vented drying can leave droplets on plastic but more energy efficient and does not burn plastics. Dishwashers are the most complex difficult to manufacture home appliance as it uses water and electricity and has more moving parts than a clothes washer. Generally, manufactures with more experience are more reliable. Bosch has been making dishwashers since early sixties while LG and Samsung are relatively recent entrants into the market. Any brand can have a lemon but your best bet in this price range is Bosch. |
Thanks! |

Heated dry is necessary for me. I want my dw to wash and dry. I dont need lots of wash cycles but do love my heated dry. |
With the LG or Bosch the dry will be about the same as using the air dry on the Frigidaire. As long as you keep the Jet Dry filled you should be fine--even better if you wash very few plastics. They dry the dishes,pans, glassware fine, just plastics that will be damp. |
On purpose, I set my DW to not heat-dry. The water is hot enough, that during the air dry cycle, everything dries except the plastic. I think the heated dry cycle is too harsh. Dishes are plenty warm when it's over. |
When I had a Frigidaire with hot-dry, I shut it off like andee. It just wasn't needed. Now on my second Bosch, and could just do a happy dance. The first Bosch has gone on to its second life, still working flawlessly, in the church kitchen. The new Bosch has a sanitize cycle that really gets the dishes dry. For the money, I don't think you can beat a Bosch. That said, my old, old Frigidaire is still working, too, in my sister's canning kitchen, so maybe I just have good dishwasher karma? Hope I haven't just cursed the new Bosch . . . |

The Blinn College Choral Union is the heart of the college's choir program. This group meets on Monday nights from 6:30-9:00pm and explores large masterworks such as Handel's Messiah and Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, often with orchestral accompaniment. All scholarship students are required to be a part of this ensemble, which features guest soloists. The choir is not auditioned; any student may participate, as well as faculty or staff. This group is directed by Dr. Joel Plaag, and has been featured in a performance of Mozart's Requiem in Carnegie Hall.
The Brenham Chorale - Founded in 1974 under the direction of Dick Damon, the Brenham Chorale, Brenham's noted community chorus, enjoys a rich history of tradition and excellence, once again under the direction of Dr. Joel Plaag. Singers come from as far away as Giddings, Bellville, Bryan/College Station, and even Hearne to perform some of the great choral masterworks in Brenham. The Chorale rehearses on Monday nights, 6:30-9:00 pm in the Finke Recital Hall on the Brenham campus, and presents major works in a variety of performance locations around Brenham. The Brenham Chorale has performed to sold-out audiences in Brenham and has performed the Mozart Requiem at Carnegie Hall in New York City. This year's performances include:
The Chorale is open to any area resident, regardless of vocal ability. Please contact Dr. Joel Plaag for more information. The first informational meeting is August 19, with the first rehearsal on August 26.
Camerata named after a late sixteenth century group of artists, poets, and musicians who regularly got together to discuss artistry in their hometown of Florence, is the leading chamber ensemble of Blinn College. This group travels to high schools and other venues regularly to bring good choral music to the Brazos Valley and beyond. Students in this group also have the opportunity to audition for the TTCCDA All-State Choir, which performs each winter in San Antonio at the annual TMEA Convention. Music Teachers/Choir directors interested in hosting Camerata at their school/church/event can contact Dr. Plaag. This year's tour is scheduled for February 25-26, 2014.
Women's Chorus – The women's chorus, also a staple of the choir program, is dedicated to bringing good quality choral music around campus. Often, this group sings in unusual venues with a capella music and famous melodies. Frequently this group can be heard at Blinn's Commencement exercises, held in May. Women's Chorus is directed by Ms. Shipsey.
Opera Workshop – Newly offered in the fall of 2014, Opera Workshop and Musical Theater will explore dramatic musical works from both the opera and music theater genres. Students will get to work on dramatic roles in preparation for dramatic sung works for the stage. This course is open by audition only to singers, actors, set designers and artists, and students in technical theater.
Private Vocal Studies- Private lessons are available on two different levels. For those students wishing to major in vocal music, Blinn offers a one hour private lesson. Voice majors also attend a weekly studio class, held on Fridays from 10:00-11:50 AM. Non music- majors are eligible to take a half-hour lesson per week. Prerequisites for enrollment in a non-major voice lesson include: enrollment in a choral ensemble and permission of instructor. All music majors are tested at the beginning of their first semester for their aptitude in music theory and are assigned participation in the ensembles. Music majors can view the field of study for a list of required courses here.
Choir Club-Blinn College hosts an active choir club. This group presents does fundraisers and makes regular visits to area nursing homes as part of their community outreach. Anyone enrolled in the choral program is welcome to join the choir club.
