It looks as if labor markets in Latin America have not been following the economic news—literally! Economic activity has slowed markedly in the last three years, with some South American countries slipping into outright recession more recently. Yet, labor markets still appear remarkably strong, with unemployment rates, in particular, hovering at record-low levels in most countries (Figure 1). So, what is going on? Has the region discovered how to defy the law of gravity?

The Package
Looking at the package we see there isn't anything new going on with the design that's been present for quite a while now; apart from the courier sticker that was sitting in the middle of the box, that is. To the right we have a picture of a knight on a horse, while to the left we have mention of a discount on some games.
Across the top we have the ASUS logo, while working from the bottom we have the model; in this case the GTX 285. Above that we have mention of some of the main features the card offers which include 1GB of GDDR3 memory and some exclusive software that ASUS includes like SmartDoctor and GamerOSD.
Looking at the back we again have a run down on some of the features, but we also see a fair bit of information on all the software programs that the company includes. We've also got a recommended requirements list, resolution table and a few other bits and pieces.
Opening the package up and diving inside, we have a CD that includes the manual in a number of languages. We've also got a Speed Setup guide and a voucher that gives you a discount on some games and applications. You can get more information following the website address. We also have a driver CD that isn't seen here; it looks like a fellow reviewer who got the card before us decided to keep it for themselves. This CD also includes the applications that are mentioned on the back of the box.
In the cable department we've got a DVI to VGA connector, duel molex to 6-pin connector and a component out dongle. As far as extras go ASUS has also included a brown mouse pad with the ASUS branding. Again, though, someone has decided to pinch some of our cables, so what you will also get that isn't seen here is a S/PDIF loopback cable and a DVI to HDMI connector.

KES Network Analysis
How do you stay on top of an ever-changing business environment, business demands and increasing competition?
Ever wonder how some people get their work done so effectively and others might be lagging behind or holding up a project? It has to do with more than just Knowledge, Experience and Skills (KES – the Human Capital). Perhaps the answer involves the working relationships (human networks – social networks) that develop based on trust without regard for the imposed organization structure (the hierarchy). These working relationships are found using a form of Organization Network Analysis (ONA) or Social Network Analysis (SNA). Ignoring the potential of social networks at work can be costly to your organization.

About 10:20 p.m., July 6, a 37-year-old woman was forced into a 2005 or newer, blue Ford F-250 truck by two men just east of Stapley and Broadway roads. The truck had an extended cab and four doors. The men drove the woman to Reed Park, 1631 E. Broadway Road, where one of them sexually assaulted her inside the vehicle while the other one held her. Then the men forced the woman from the truck and left the area.
The driver of the truck is a white male, 40-50 years old, 5 feet 6-7 inches tall, medium build, with a pencil thin moustache, short dark hair and was wearing blue jeans and a black or navy blue shirt. The second man is 40-50 years old, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, thick build, with clean cut brown hair past his ears and was wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt with black writing on it.
If you have information about this case, contact Silent Witness at W-I-T-N-E-S-S or (480) 948-6377, toll-free at 1-800-343-TIPS. You can also leave an anonymous tip on the Silent Witness website at silentwitness.org.

I planted some pak choi seeds a couple of weeks ago after reading about them on one of the threads and now I have lots of little spouts. I'm not sure I've ever even seen a pak choi before so I have some questions. How long do they take to mature and how will I know when to harvest them? How do you cook them? I'm very excited to discover a new veggie but need info. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is difficult to answer specifically without knowing the specific variety because some are harvested at different times. Where did you get the seeds? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing Bok Choy
Bok choy and similar greens are fast growing. They mature in 30 to 45 days from sowing. You have some leeway as to when to harvest. It's not a matter of ripeness, as with tomatoes and other fruited vegetables. It's a matter of starting the harvest when they are large enough to be useful and before they become too tough to enjoy. You be the judge. Jim |
Does anyone know if you harvest the outer leaves will the inner leaves continue to produce a worthwhile crop? Or does it all have to be harvested at once? The variety I am growing is Mei Qing Choi (baby). |
They will still grow after cutting the outer leaves. |
When the Mei Qing Choi begins to bold to seed, you will find the stalk and upper leaves to be the tenderest part of the plant. You can harvest them even as the yellow flowers begin to open. Don't bother with the coarse rosette of lower leaves by this time - they will be quite tough. You may prefer flowering bok choy. Steve |
That's pretty interesting. I will definitely leave a few in the ground and test it out. That baby bok choy is so good, it is almost as good as a tri-tip. Almost. |
arturo222, There are many, many varieties of "bok choy" out there. Different varieties lend themselves to different methods of harvest. It is definitely a favorite of many to harvest the plant when the flowers are just budding. A quick satay creates a beautiful dish with crunchy vegetables. |
is that satay as in thai, or saute as in french? |
saute ;) |
A little stir fry in the wok with some pressed garlic, some minced ginger, a drop of shoyu and some dried tabasco flakes. Or a brief saute with garlic, red pepper flakes and sea salt in olive oil. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mai Qing Choi
Very charming home and garden photo's, Arturo. Yes, the dry pepper flakes are fine but they . . . aalways . . . maaaake . . .. meeeee .. .. . sneeze! Steve |
Thank you Steve. I harvested 2 bok choys today and I am making a chicken, bok choy and shiitake lo mein. Was at the market picking up the shiitakes and saw the baby bok choy on sale there, what a difference! Nothing like homegrown. But I did see a stalk inside the ones at the market so now I know what to look for with the others. I will put two more seedlings in tomorrow (it's cold and rainy tonight) to take the sown ones places, but I've got that row eyed for some golden beets after that... |
My favorite Chinese restaurant uses very small baby bok choy in various stir fry dishes. The baby bok choy is barely more than two inches tall and is cut vertically into two pieces. Elegant. Jim |

I too have recently sown chinese pak choi seeds for the first time. The leaves are now very large and flowers have started, however the base of the stem is nothing like that which I've bought before, or the picture on the packet - very spindly. Should I pick the leaves now or wait for the base to thicken. Also can I eat all the leaves, or should I discard the outer ones? |
Pak choi (AKA bok choy) comes many varieties. Don't wait too long to pick it or it will get stringy. You can break off a leaf and taste the stalk right in the garden if in doubt. My packet of generic bok choy seeds this year produced results similar to yours. Use them before the flowers are too far along. Before flowers is best. Don't worry about the thin stalks. Use any leaves which look good to you. If the outer leaves are old, yellowed and unattractive, discard them. Next year I will get my bok choy seeds from a source which has several varieties to choose from. Jim |
Here is a link that might be useful: Oriental Vegetable Seeds
Gertie73, It sounds to me like you may have waited too long. You want to harvest the leaves before the plant starts to bolt (go to seed). You can continually harvest the outer leaves to eat as long as you have the plant. Just do not harvest more than 1/3 of the plant at one time. Jim, It's ok to state the source... please do. |
The size of the flowering stalk depends on variety but, also & importantly, on growing conditions. If the Mei Qing Choi plant doesn't make much size, the stalk may be smaller than a pencil. With more optimum growing conditions, the base of the stalk may be 1 1/2 inches in diameter. With thinner stalks, it's more likely to quickly become stringy and bitter (too old). But, with some experience, one can still harvest and enjoy even tiny shoots. As Jim suggests, sample them raw. They should be tender and sweet, if not - compost. With the heat of Summer, it's tuff to find 'em tender . . . Steve |

I would like to know where to buy baby Shanghai Ching-Chiang Choy (�Ϻ����uë��) seeds in USA. Helen |
Territorial Seed Company (click) has that variety, Helen. As does Evergreen Seed Company (click). Steve |

I live in China and am currently growing some Pak choi. I find it helps if you grow the seedlings in seed beds and then when they have 3 true leaves to transplant them. If you do this then you can put them in a weed free bed and they then require little or no weeding. |

This is a nice lip gloss. I bought it in the color "Legendaire Pink". It's a nice soft pink color, very natural looking. The lip gloss is very moisturizing and I like the fact that it has SPF 15 protection. It has a fruity-floral scent to it but it's not overpowering at all. I'd definitely repurchase!
I bought this gloss in shade 04 charismatic red. It says it's a multiple purpose balm helps nourish, protect and beautify lips. I think it's absolutely brilliant, I am a gloss addict from budget to blow out and this def gets a thumbs up from me. Colourwise, it's a bright but very sheer red, you could build this for more intense colour. It's not at all sticky, smells delicious it states it's 'barley sugar flavour' staying power was very good and price was very good value. Anyone thinking about trying one of these glosses, do, you won't be disappointed.

I love it! The texture is great and the color is just adorable (i have the rosé one but it appears kinda dark pink on my lips). it protects and nourishs. definetly worth the high price!
This is the only lipgloss in the world I would ever wear as I loathe the sticky feeling all other glosses give me.
This glides on easily, gives a glossy finish, contains spf 15 and comes in beautiful shades( I have the Shimmering Chocolat). It's brilliant for both summer and winter.
This product is a lifesaver. If, like me, you have chapped lips, try using this for a week and you'll see the immense difference. The last time I used it, I had the light pink, which made it excellent for home use but not really something I would wear when out or at work. This time around I bought the gloss in Chocolate Shimmer (Shimmering Chocolate) with SPF15 and I am in love. The scent, the taste and the color all suit beautifully. I'm really pleased to have this product again as it's all natural and deliciously scented. Definitely something I'd repurchase again and again!

Great gloss! love the spf since my lips tend to burn in the sun. Great color and i actually don't need a balm underneath which i almost always do w other gloss.
I have that pink shade and it isn't anything special but I still love it. It's a nice lip balm/gloss, nice texture, it has a nice sweet smell and it looks nice on my lips. It's not too pigmented so it's not for those who prefer pigmented lip glosses. But, if you like non-sticky lip glosses this one is a great choice.
It's not that cheap, but it's quite cheaper than Lancome lip glosses and it's a bit bigger - 7ml.
Won't be buying it again cbecause I have bunch of lip glosses and have to spend some of them. :D
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Very nice lip balm/gloss. All the colors are nice, but I bought Chocolate Shimmer for a neutral look. The lovely color is a chestnut brown with shimmers. Staying power, as previous reviewer stated, is just OK, but this product softens my lips and is one of the few SPF lip products that doesn't dry out my lips. No gunky or sticky feel. Also very nice when used with liner.
This review is for the lip balm with SPF in the tube.
It contains mango butter, sweet almond oil and vit. E.
Well, it's not that cheap, about 15 euros but what the hell, I had to try it.
So far I'm really pleased.
The balm is creamy, it's golden with shimmers and tastes so sweet. my lips are restored and the glossy effect (although it's not a lip gloss) is long lasting.
I'm happy with the SPF15. Really a good buy!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a brand new launch to the Nuxe line. It is nutri-protecting lip care. It is a light lip treatment with an SPF of 15 and a lovely slight pinky gold pearly sheen. Not as nourishing as the nuxe honey dream lip balm but I really like the texture looks glamorous and treats at the same time. Isn't in any way sticky and has OK staying power. Repalces the lovely tined balms they used to do but discontinued. i prefer this much more up to date and modern. The packaging is gorgeous too.

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 Randi!
Facts about Randi
- Breed: Great Dane
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Female
Randi's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
I was purchased from a backyard breeder in Missouri and flown to Ohio when I was 12 weeks old. My owner planned to breed me but lucky for me that didn't happened. My owner was not a true dog lover and he was not tolerant of my normal puppy behavior. People questioned him about why he even got a dog. Then one day the neighbors called animal control because they could see my bones were sticking out. Well, that really upset my owner because now animal control realized that I had been not licensed. My owner was given 14 days to get me licensed and also to have a vet determine if I was skinny because of health or lack of food. My owner got really angry.
As you can see from my pictures below, I am very emaciated. I actually weigh almost exactly the same as I did when I was 6 months old! If you look closely at the pictures of my head, the one on the left, you can even see where my right side of my face is swollen. The picture on the right was taken less then 24 hours later and the swelling has already gone down to some degree. It is the opinion of the rescue that my condition is consistent with abuse and neglect. The rescue has already scheduled a vet appointment for next Tuesday. This will be with an orthopedic surgeon to see if I have any medical issues.
I am so thankful that my owner decided to release me to Harlequin Haven. A nice man immediately came and took me to a safe place. The rescue contacted my breeder (per the rescue's policy) and he didn't even asked how I was - even after seeing the pictures the rescue sent him of me. Instead all he cared about was the rescue's plans to spay me!! His exact words were, "Please contact me at your earlist convience before you destroy the breeding capabilities of my animal." He even told Grandma "If you want this animal, I will consider selling you my rights." Grandma let him know that the rescue was not paying him a penny!! She asked him if he wanted to provide financial support or make a donation toward my care and his reply was, "Without ownership I surely have no responsibility as both go hand in hand. Since your intention is to alter this critter so that it cannot reproduce, I am not intersted in retrieving this animal!......... I hope she goes to a good home! I think you charge fair and reasonable prices." I guess he doesn't understand that a reputable breeder would want to provide for his puppy and that a rescue is not making money from their dogs like he is. Rescues are trying to end the problem of homeless dogs and not continue to add to the homelss population.
Grandma told me not to worry, that I am safe, and I would get the medical care I need, and that I will never have to worry about having puppies!!!! Grandma told me all about last year when Kaden was here. The same breeder did not bother to get back in touch with the rescue when he was contacted at that time. Since Kaden was already neutered he was of no value to him.
I did not want to go back to him because I want a loving home and a soft bed to lay on instead of living in a dog house!! I am being fed regularly and receiving lots of hugs and kisses. My breeder even says on his website that we should be couch potatoes. So why do his dogs live outside in pens and on chains/cables???
Click here to see my AKC papers.
Update March 27: From Grandma: Randi was taken to see the orthopedic surgeon today and overall it was good, he found no problems with her hips, spine or knees but unfortunately the right side of her muzzle is either deformed due to hereditary defect or blunt trauma (was broken and received no medical care). She has malocclusion (a misalignment of the teeth) he said it should not cause her any problems but something that should be watched in the years to come. He felt that she would lead a normal life. He did not want to sedate her to take x-rays due to her extreme lack of weight for a non-emergency situation.
Update April 1: I now weigh 88.2 pounds!! I still need to gain about 20 pounds but needless to say the reason my ribs and hip bones were sticking out was due to lack of food and not a health issue!! I am enjoying playing with my new friends and yes I really enjoy all the food and treats I am receiving!! I will try to get a new picture taken this week so you can see how much weight I have gained!
Update April 7: I had Grandma take my picture today check them out below, plus I got weighed!! I now weigh 98 pounds!!
Update May 20: Wow guess I forgot about updating my webpage huh! Okay since I last wrote I gained my weight and I have been spayed, had my head x-rayed. I have malocclusion but don't worry it does not cause me any problems it just makes me look a tad bit odd but most people don't even notice it. The vet said it probably was due to defective genes whatever that means! But hey I am not defective I am cute and adorable just ask me and I will tell you!!! Well I am ready for my new home and I can't wait, so hurry up forever home!!!! BTW, I love to play and would love a family that would play with me!!
Other Pets at Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Randi, a Bethel Great Dane dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Great Dane for sale in Bethel, or seeking a Great Dane dog from a breeder in Bethel.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bethel 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 Bethel 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 Great Dane breeders who help with Great Dane rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bethel paves the way for another one to be saved.

My name's Jackie and I'm new! But I've been lurking on CakeCentral for a long time.
Now, I have a few questions.
At our local middle school, (I'm in high school)
there will be a carnival, and for community service hours,
I volunteered to host a cookie decorating booth, serving approximately 20-30 (at most) people at a time.
The school is giving me a non-existent ten dollar budget, so along with a partner I'll have to spend some money myself.
At most there will be 400 kids attending the carnival, but usually some do not show up, so I am planning on decorating only 200 cookies or so.
How do you suggest I spend my money the most wisely?
I am most concerned about the cookies and frosting.
I do not have a very big kitchen, and my partner's already baked about 75 cookies, which leaves 125 to me. Would any of you suggest I buy cookie dough or mix, or even completely pre-made cookies?
Or would it be more economical (but more difficult) to make it from scratch?
For my frosting, I think I will simply make a simple shortening/butter based buttercream.
I don't want the kids to have their hands on the food coloring themselves, so my idea was to walk around with a variety of colors for the kids to choose and I'd add the coloring in myself (with my partner)
And finally, decorations.
I have intermediate experience in piping, and the such, so I would be comfortable.
But to keep in mind, the kids will have little to no experience at all, and I do not want to make things more difficult for myself and the kids.
So that leaves candy decorations. I am thinking of buying plenty of sprinkles and maybe dying some sugar multiple colors. Also, I am thinking about buying some popular candies (M&Ms etc)
If any of you helpful folks have any suggestions that would be amazing.
Finally, (I know this is a long post )
how would I bring everything to the school? I think I will ask the school for a few tablecloths or I can bring my own, and the school will be supplying the tables and chairs.
I think napkins will suffice for each student as a "plate" and simple foam/paper bowls to hold the decorations and frosting, along with plastic knives.
If you have any suggestions at all for any of these areas,
that are so very welcomed!
Thanks so much for taking your time to read and reply! You guys are too cool!

I just got my WFRP boxes couple weeks back, so been busy sorting everything out.
Now I am doing the Errata.
Couldnt find the new version of Enchanting Visage Card in any of the expansions. Just removed the old one.
Cloak of Dragonscales Card. Couldnt find a version of this in any of the expansions. Likely have to print it myself
The Talent Card: Aqshy Lore. My Core box had the incorrect one, but one of the other box sets had the correct one (Think was Player Vault).
My problem comes when I reach one of the other boxed expansions. I dont have the card here with me, but it gives a totally new Aqshy talent card.
I think its Aqshy pyromancer Bright Order, but could be Aqshy, Lore of Fire Bright Order, its in the Heros expansion. Does a Bright wizard on reaching hero level, either a) takes new order talent, b) can choose to keep old one or c) has to keep old one?

Output Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) Test Using the TEGAM 1830A RF Power Meter
February 18, 2014
When using a power meter that references to a 50 MHz, 1 mW output power reference it is important to know that the 50 MHz reference is within the specified performance limits. The TEGAM Model 1830A RF Power Meter coupled with a thermistor power sensor (also known as a thermistor mount) can accurately measure the SWR of a 50 MHz reference. By utilizing a unique function that most modern power meters do not offer; the 1830A allows the user to change the value of the thermistor mounts terminating resistance. Utilizing this method for measuring source match works well because it presents the source with two distinctly different values of Î?_Load which allows accurate measurement of the power absorbed under two different conditions. This application note will explain how we make this SWR measurement with the 1830A and a thermistor mount.
Virtual Antenna Technology: The Flexible and Off-the-Shelf Mobile Antenna Solution
February 18, 2014
The fast pace, ever changing evolution of the wireless industry puts an enormous time-to-market pressure on the engineering of every new mobile device. Being in the heart of every mobile product, the design of the RF front-end and in particular, the antenna, becomes specially cumbersome as every product currently requires a fully customized antenna. Fractus' new Virtual AntennaTM technology has been conceived to address this particular issue, proposing a new standard antenna element, the miniature mXTENDTM Antenna Booster, to virtually replace every customized antenna in virtually every mobile product.
Choosing the Proper Elastomer for Microwave Absorption
February 18, 2014
RFMW Ltd. announces the availability of a white paper discussing the proper selection of microwave absorbing and EMI shielding products. This Technical Bulletin from MAST Technologies defines the characteristic properties of various elastomers used in the manufacture of microwave absorbing products. For example, Nitriles show excellent resistance to petroleum based fuel and oil products so are superior to Silicone in aerospace and flight line environments. For high temperature applications or where dilute acids may be encountered, a Viton® based absorber may be the best option. MAST Technologies' elastomer based absorbers are used in a variety of commercial and military applications where unwanted RF emissions cause system degradation. Applications include the reduction or elimination of cross-talk in optical transceivers, dampening of cavity resonances, absorption of surface wave emissions within equipment chassis' and magnetic dampening of tuned coils. MAST elastomers can be custom tuned for frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to greater than 40 GHz.

December 17, 2013
The Boonton model 55006 USB Peak Power Sensor and 4542 benchtop Power meter used with model 57006 Peak Power sensor or model 51011 EMC power sensors are the instruments of choice for capturing, displaying and analyzing RF power for automotive EMC and RF immunity testing. This application paper focuses on discussing the usage of peak power meters in RF immunity testing for EMC purposes.
RF/Microwave Design for MMICs, MCMs and Hybrid Modules
December 17, 2013
Miniaturization of consumer products, aerospace and defense systems, medical devices, and LED arrays has spawned the development of a technology known as the multi-chip module (MCM), which combines multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductors dies, and other discrete components within a unifying substrate for use as a single component. This two-part white paper outlines the steps for implementing an integrated design flow within the AWR Microwave Office® design environment for MMICs, MCMs and modules. Design flow considerations for both a GaAs PHEMT power amplifier design as well as for an MCM microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) design on a microwave laminate module are discussed.Â
Modern VNA Test Solutions Improve On-Wafer Measurement Efficiency
December 17, 2013
Semiconductor manufacturing test engineers face increased broadband millimeter wave (MMW) on-wafer testing challenges. Developing accurate models often requires measuring frequencies ranging from near DC up to 100+ GHz. Achieving accurate, stable measurements over extended time periods is challenging. This white paper discusses the impact of calibration downtime during on-wafer testing and how to enable longer time periods between calibrations.

Spiritual Gathering Retreat – Christian Retreat Locations, Church Group Events
Fellowship is a high priority for any religious group, and each type of organized fellowship activity comes with its own planning considerations. Whether you're setting up a community service project, a weekend retreat, or a Sunday supper, here are some ideas to help plan religious group events.
If your religious group is performing a service project or hosting a fundraiser, keep costs low and be creative! Set up tables for registration or payment in the parking lot or on the lawn – or rent space at a community center or a park for minimal fees. Recruit volunteers to provide refreshments and transportation if necessary, and ask local businesses to pitch in supplies. They may even host an after-party at discount!
Consider planning spiritual retreats at a hotel, country inn, or religious conference center for easy access to meeting space, dining options, and overnight accommodations. If you're organizing a family retreat, a college or summer camp may offer packages that include access to dorms, the dining hall, and athletic fields or equipment.
If your worship facilities can't accommodate a Sunday supper, try to rent space from another nearby religious organization. You'll definitely need a kitchen, but consider bringing tables and chairs to create a dining area outdoors or in a meeting room. Plan a menu that's simple and inexpensive, and ask participants to bring dishes for a shared dessert table.
Unique Venues has a wide range of facilities that will accommodate any type of religious group event. Let us help you find one today with assisted search!

JUSTICE: WHAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO? invites viewers to think critically about the fundamental questions of justice, equality, democracy and citizenship. Each week, more than 1,000 students attend the lectures of Harvard University professor and author Michael Sandel, eager to expand their understanding of political and moral philosophy, as well as test long-held beliefs. Students learn about the great philosophers of the past — Aristotle, Kant, Mill, Locke — then apply the lessons to complex and sometimes volatile modern-day issues, including affirmative action, same-sex marriage, patriotism, loyalty and human rights. Sandel's teaching approach involves presenting students with an ethical dilemma — some hypothetical, others actual cases — then asking them to decide "what's the right thing to do?" He encourages students to stand up and defend their decisions, which leads to a lively and often humorous classroom debate. Sandel then twists the ethical question around, to further test the assumptions behind their different moral choices. The process reveals the often contradictory nature of moral reasoning.
Sunday, November 6 at 8 p.m.
John Rawls applied his 'veil of ignorance' theory to social and economic equality issues, as well as fair governance. He asks, if every citizen had to weigh in on the issue of redistributive taxation --without knowing whether they would end up as one of the poor or one of the wealthy members of society ' wouldn't most of us prefer to eliminate our financial risks and agree to an equal distribution of wealth?
Professor Sandel recaps the three different theories raised so far, concerning how income, wealth, and opportunities in life should be distributed. He summarizes libertarianism, the meritocratic system, and the egalitarian theory. This leads to a discussion of the fairness of pay differentials in today's society. Sandel compares the salary of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor ($200,00) with the salary of Judge Judy ($25 million). Sandel asks, is this fair? And if not, why not? Sandel explains how John Rawls believes that personal 'success' is more often a function of arbitrary issues for which we can claim no credit: luck, genetic good fortune, positive family circumstances. But what of effort ' the individual who strives harder and longer to succeed ' how should his/her 'effort' be
Sunday, November 13 at 8 p.m.
Students discuss the issue of affirmative action and college admissions. Is it 'just' for schools to consider race and ethnicity as a factor in admissions? Does it violate individual rights? Or is it as equal, and as arbitrary, as favoring a star athlete? Is the argument in favor of promoting diversity a valid one? How does it size up against the argument that a student's efforts and achievements should carry more weight?
Sandel introduces Aristotle's theory of justice which, simply put, is giving people what they are due, what they deserve. Aristotle argues that when considering issues of distribution, one must consider the goal, the end, the purpose of what is being distributed. For him, it's a matter of fitting a person's virtues with their appropriate roles.
Sunday, November 20 at 8 p.m.
Aristotle's theory of justice leads to a contemporary debate about golf, specifically 'the purpose' of golf. Students debate whether the PGA was wrong in not allowing a disabled golfer, Casey Martin, to use a golf cart during professional tournaments.
Sandel addresses one of the most glaring objections to Aristotle's views on freedom ' his defense of slavery. Students discuss other objections to Aristotle's theories and debate whether his philosophy limits the freedom of individuals.
Sunday, November 27 at 8 p.m.
Professor Sandel presents Immanuel Kant's and John Rawl's objections to Aristotle who believe that individuals should be free and capable of choosing his or her ends. This leads to an introduction to the communitarian view. As individuals, how do we weigh our obligations to family against our obligations to community and to our country?
Professor Sandel leads a discussion about the arguments for and against our obligations of solidarity and membership in the smaller community of family and the larger community of the society at large. Using various scenarios, students debate whether and when loyalty outweighs duty.

Audience Reviews
"Brought home a boy from the valley. He's young enough to learn the business my way." This recent entry in the "small town psychopathic serial killer" genre isn't exactly a game-changer and it doesn't try to be that scary, but it is a tense, nasty affair that will probably appeal to some horror fans. We've got out deranged killer that preys on young women, a young boy he kidnaps to "assist" him, and a new arrival from out of town (Alexandra Dadarrio) that enjoys taking long runs alone that just happen to pass by a sinister looking and isolated rundown meat-packing plant. If you're guessing that's a recipe for blood, brutality and death, then you're right. Bereavement is fine for what it is, but I doubt I'll be compelled to watch it more than once. There's nothing really exceptional about it, though some of the outdoor cinematography is beautiful, there's a concentrated effort to give depth and a back-story to most of the main characters, and Alexandra is undoubtedly nice eye candy (if there was an Academy Award for filling out a halter top, she'd have it in the bag). The bottom line, though, is that this is such a thoroughly bleak movie that it's almost too realistically grim and hopeless to find entertainment in. That's not necessarily a "flaw", but it's definitely something some viewers will respond less favorably to than others. Oh, and I don't think I've heard this much screaming in a film in quite a while. Have your ears prepared to be assaulted.
- lewiskendell, Wednesday, October 26, 2011
I was really looking forward to this prequel to 2004's Malevolent, but was sadly disappointed. The premise of the movie is great and right up my alley. A twisted gore fest about a serial killer who abducts a child, in the hope of making him his predecessor. Sounds good, but in actuality, it was very slow and extremely predictable. I kept hearing about how scary and messed up this film was, did they watch what I just watched? There are a few bright spots here, mainly the cast, which was terrific, and the end of the film, which while predictable, was still really cool to see. Spencer List stars as Martin, the serial killer in waiting. At the ripe old age of 13, this kid has become a B-Horror star! He's this cute, quiet, innocent looking kid, and before you know it he's killed you. He has this way about him, in these types of movies that make it seem real, and he is truly scary. The cast was great, the last twenty minutes was cool to watch, but really there's not much else here.

My husband and I are going to build a home. The plans we have picked out has a kitchen of 12' x 14'. Looking at the plans the kitchen seems small. My husband on the other hand say it looks like a good size.
Our current kitchen is really small. I have four base cabinets (three regular cabinets and one sink cabinet) and we have four upper cabinets and two small cabinets over the kitchen sink above the window (those we put in for looks only). |

It is relative to the square footage of the house, the size of the family and the likely number of "cooks", the location of the house, whether or not it has an eat-in area, the design of the kitchen itself and other factors. You will get better feedback if you can show a floorplan of the whole house and list some of these details. |
I might tweak that floor plan a bit, but I think you've got room to work with there. It will definitely feel bigger than what you are coming from. But, if you want it bigger, now's the time to change the plan! Since you know that your hubby likes to clean up as you cook, I would definitely put in two sinks. |
I think the size is fine. My kitchen is 14' x 15' with the pantry and eat-in area in it! Both my husband and I work together on many of our meals, so the trick is to divide the area into zones. Our range is on one wall with the sink and dishwasher on the opposite wall. The island in the middle is the "prep zone" for both of us. This arrangement isn't for everybody, but it works for us. |
I dunno, we went from 7x12 kitchen, to our new house whcih we remodeled into a 12x14 kitchen that is open to the dining room. We're not done with the renovation, so, we haven't cooked in it, but we think its a good size, lots of cabinets plenty of floor space, but we have a peninsila not an island. Our nfinished house is around 1900 sqft. I don't know the finished sqft of your plan, but it sure looks like a nice space for that. I'm not crazy about your bathroom plan with the secondary bedrooms, and the sitting outcove, it seems like a waste of space, but everyone has different uses. |
Thanks everyone! The house is aprox 3100sf! Today after posting I got an idea! I measure the short wall in my living room and sure enough it is 14ft. Then I measured the long wall to 12ft, moved my couch to make another 14ft wall. Kinda like a u shape. Then the kids grab a couple of boxes from the garage and we made an island. Seems big enough and it helped give me a visual of the space even if it's off a bit! lol Again thanks every! Ps the J&J bathroom has been bugging me too. Once we hire someone to draw up the blue prints maybe he/she can reconfigure it. |
Take painter's blue tape and tape out your floor plan according to your measurements. Since you aren't in your new house yet, tape it out in your empty garage or other flat area. Remember you will have doors opening different places. |

I think the kitchen is a good size but the layout needs some tweaking. Right now you have a barrier island (blocks fridge-sink-stove path). People remodel in order to get rid of these. At minimum, you need a prep sink on that island. |
A good size kitchen is one that helps you live well in the kitchen. In the kitchen things have to be done. Actions, labor, performance. In adjacent rooms you can let people "live" as they wish. The island and sink are not good. -- The same can be said about islands in the way. Hth |

Is this a conceptual plan at this point? I think in general 12 x 14 is adequate for a kitchen but it may be a bit small in a 3000 sq ft house, however it looks like the 12x14 doesn't include the counters if you compare it to the dining room. In general though I think the space apportioning for the house in general is a bit off. I know you didn't ask that. But the master bath appears to be as large, if not larger than the secondary bedrooms, and there are some large circulation spaces (outside the guest bedroom, outside the MBR) that don't make much sense--it doesn't seem like a very cohesive plan overall. Sorry, but I think there are more issues than the kitchen size at hand. |
Mocking it up was a great idea, and, of course, you found there's lots of work space in that kitchen for 2 people who don't cook multi-course meals all day just for the love of it. That kitchen's about the size of mine, and it works very well. Planning for your own work zones is important. If it were mine, I'd mock up moving everything everywhere just to see how I liked it. I'd play around with moving the cleanup area to the other side of the kitchen from where people sit and chat, for instance with a second L counter on the other side. In the current configuration, though, I'd probably mainly move the fridge down to the stove end--creating a very good, efficient main cooking/prep triangle across that end and leaving the rest of that back counter and other end of the island for 1 or 2 other cooks. Although a second sink can be useful, it's not really needed if the 2 of you don't find yourself aggravated over having to share your current sink. We plumbed the island for a prep sink but I never missed it, and the sink's still sitting in the basement waiting for a need to develop (one less sink to wash). Our single-bowl main sink is 29" inside dimension, 9-1/2" deep, and works great for the two of us. Regardless, in that configuration I would definitely move the dishwasher to the other side of the sink on your floor plan to get it out of the path of the main cook. My kitchen works well for us when all we're doing is cooking for ourselves (not too big) and, much less often, for 20. My island's 39" x 54" and has a luxuriance of room to work--I only use it all at big parties, like Thanksgiving. Then DH and I commandeer the stove counter for stuffing and carving the turkey, making gravy, other cooking, etc. Salad prep, garnishes, and fridge-to-microwave are done over on the back counter. Exhausted helpers take to the couch in the "breakfast" area, where they can continue their culinary assistance verbally. My daughter and DIL and her mother are busy on the island putting together their Danish contributions to the meal, whipping up glazes, mashing potatoes, "staging" dishes, etc., and are just a step away when they decide I need their help, which is usually a lot. :) It works well, in a space your size. Have fun! |

I agree with some of the other posters...the kitchen seems small for the overall size of the house. Our house that we are building is 3,400 sq ft and on paper it didn't seem all that big but now that it is framed out, it is a large home. Just for reference, our kitchen is 20'X14'. We opted for a larger island that we could eat at instead of a "breakfast area"...our dining room is open to the kitchen and the great room and it works very well there. When I look at your plan, I see a kind of dead space where your kitchen ends and your breakfast area starts. Could you wrap your sink countertop around to give you more counter/storage space? Try to figure out how to use that dead space. have you had the plan drawn up by an architect? The planning stage is so critical. Being half-way thru the building stage, that is really proving to be true...HTH |
I actually don't think it's small given that the original dimension doesn't include the eat-in part of the kitchen---when I tell people my kitchen is 18' x 13', for instance, that includes the end that's our breakfast nook---my actual kitchen is only 11' x 13' if I count it separately (and I think it's often the case on GW that the dimensions include whatever eat-in area there is). So with the breakfast nook, yours is really 12' x 26' (or 312 sf)--- which is quite spacious. It is a very long and narrow space, though, so it might be worth playing with layouts to see if you like working with that kind of space---it has some limitations (but also some advantages). |

i do think a new thread with a clearer outline / measurements of the kitchen might help you. I don't see a J and J bathroom on the kids end. I see a bathroom for each bedroom. including the guest room. how old are the kids? do they each need their own bathroom? (who will be cleaning these things? yikes) i'd have a main bath over there with a bedroom on either side of it. If you feel you need a separate bath for the guest room, you'd still end up with extra room on that end of the house cutting out 1 kids' bath. that could also be the main guest bath instead of PR by the kitchen (not a good place for a PR). the guest room bath could be at the beginning of the guest 'area' with a door into the bedroom and one into the hall to be used when general company is there. double use out of it. I also notice the huge emptiness of the mstr bath. that could be wise if planning for the possibility of wheelchair/walker in your future. Otherwise it's wasted space. A good sized spacious bathroom is good - this looks to be much more than that. what are the measurements for it? what is along the wall between fridge and double ovens? what is across from the pantry? ovens look like they will open just at the end of that counter - causing a lack of space. |

I have seen huge kitchens not well laid out and kitchens half that size that function really well. I live in a 3500 sq ft house and my kitchen including breakfast room is 15x19. Its a good sized space, which we just redid. I built in a banquette for half the seating which saved a lot of space. The island is a big square instead of a rectangular so i think its more important how you lay out the space. It has to be relative to the size house it is. Good luck |
Hi Tikilyn, I think it's a good size. In fact I like the sizes of all the rooms. OT, what does your login in name mean? |

A little off the topic, but I'm in the process of building a new home too and I just noticed that you have a 12' X 12' home theater... a square is generally not recommended due to acoustics problems. Mine is 14'9" X 20 and I'm having a hard time squeezing in 3 rows of 3 seats each. |

Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week: State Governments: The Latest Venture Capitalists (Governing)...
A heavier schedule for the House than the Senate in the week ahead, including hearings on immigration & jobs, the rising cost of employer-based health care, and the tax system's impact on job creation.
This week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his semiannual monetary update to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services. The prospect of higher commodity prices has the potential of squeezing business owners' profitability at a most inopportune time – when otherwise the economy itself is starting to get some traction.
Innovation is the lifeblood for many entrepreneurial ventures. As William Baumol has written, innovative inventors help to push our economies forward in "revolutionary" ways, helping us to stay competitive and bring new ideas to the marketplace.
I was shocked to learn that only 1 percent of American companies export their products. More shocking still, of those companies that export, 58 percent of those companies export to only one country.
When you talk to anyone in government this week, one word is on everyone's mind: "shutdown." The federal government is already setting up contingency plans on what it will do if the Congress cannot agree on a new continuing resolution by March 4.
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

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 Tammy!
Facts about Tammy
- Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Tammy's Info...
** Available April 15 ** Hello! My name is Tammy and I'm a 2 year old American Staffie. I'm very pretty and love people. Sometimes I'm a little nervous in this loud shelter, but I'm always super friendly and ready for a visit! Come meet me soon we can fall in love.
Animal #: 406280
Name: Tammy
Sex: Female
Age: Approx 2 years
Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier
Found at HWY 380, Farmersville
THIS PAGE IS CREATED BY VOLUNTEERS AND IS NOT DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH SHELTER OR STAFF. For additional information on rescue or adopting contact the shelter directly. You need the ID NUMBER AND NOT NAME WHEN INQUIRING ON THE ANIMAL
Act quickly to adopt Tammy. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Collin County Animal Services
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tammy, a McKinney American Staffordshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier for sale in McKinney, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier dog from a breeder in McKinney.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in McKinney 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 McKinney 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 American Staffordshire Terrier breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in McKinney paves the way for another one to be saved.

Lexus has had a hit on its hands with the RX series ever since the introduction of the RX 300 in 1999, followed by the more-powerful RX 330 in 2003. The release of the RX 350 for the 2007 model year brings yet another performance upgrade to its top-selling car-based SUV line, with the inclusion of a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, capable of producing 270 horsepower. The RX 350's upgraded power plant and advanced driver-assist systems, combined with the car's distinctive, aerodynamic form, give it performance credentials more in line with a crossover than with a full-size SUV. Throttle control is sharp and steering is responsive, although standard suspension is tuned more for highways and parking lots than off-road trails.
Our tester came with the Performance Package ($4,955), which includes four-wheel air suspension, sequential automatic transmission, and adaptive front lighting. While its enhanced performance will grab the notice of luxury sedan owners with growing families, the RX 350 comes with all of the standard appointments and safety features one would expect on an upscale SUV: leather- and wood-trimmed interior, a decent standard audio system with a six-disc in-dash changer, and automatic controls for everything from the heated outside mirrors to the rear tailgate. À la carte options on the RX 350 include Lexus's fifth-generation voice-activated GPS satellite navigation system with an integrated backup camera, Bluetooth hands-free calling ($2,650), and a rear-seat entertainment system ($1,740). An upgraded Mark Levinson stereo system is available only as part of a package that includes navigation, Bluetooth, and performance upgrades, for $6,190.
Without any of the major information/entertainment options, our tester based at $37,400; with the performance package, which includes optional multistage heated front seats ($540), a $92 cargo mat, and a delivery fee of $695, it leaves the lot for $43,682. Our RX 350 was decked out with the usual Lexus cabin luxury in the shape of ivory-leather trim with (imaginatively named) golden bird's-eye maple accents. The driving position in the RX 350 offers a commanding view of the road, and there is ample legroom and headroom for taller passengers, both in front and in the back. The RX 350's cargo space of 84.7 cubic feet is respectable for a car-based SUV and is maximized by the folding, 40/20/40-split rear seats, which can slide forward and backward depending on passenger or cargo priorities.
Rear visibility is somewhat hindered, however, by the RX 350's raked roofline and wide C-pillars. Up front, 10-way power seats with optional heating and ventilation as well as dual-zone climate control keep the driver and the front passenger in their comfort zone. Our test car also came with a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel with memory as part of the Performance Package.
Unfortunately, the test model did not come with many of the optional gadgets that would differentiate the RX 350 from lesser SUVs. Most conspicuously, it did without Lexus's fifth-generation navigation unit, which so impressed us in the 2006 Lexus IS 350. Navigation, along with a backup camera and a Bluetooth hands-free interface, is available for an additional $2,650 or as part of the Luxury Value Edition package, which also includes an upgraded 11-speaker 210-watt audio system from Mark Levinson. This upgraded system needs to be outstanding if it is to justify an upgrade from the RX 350's standard satellite-ready, MP3- and WMA-compatible AM/FM/CD audio system with a six-disc in-dash changer, which we found to be by far the most impressive feature of our admittedly low-tech tester. While the display of ID3-tag information for MP3 and WMA CDs is limited to a single, truncated line of text, sound quality through the six speakers is excellent for a standard system.
Incorporating an Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) and a digital sound processor, the audio system delivers clean bass and clear separation across a range of music genres, and audio clarity is enhanced by the RX 350's inclusion of vibration-canceling engine mounts.
The other major entertainment option available on the RX 350 is the rear-seat DVD entertainment system with the roof-mounted LCD and wireless headphones that we saw in the 2006 RX 400h, and which comes with a 9-inch screen--2 inches bigger than that in the RX 330.

Oldbat (I doubt that name fits!!)- we use shallow baskets that people can easily pull out to access the contents. It works well and for some reason I clean them out more frequently than I would the dark recesses of a shelf. OT question- what is the beautiful paint color? |
Thanks secondhalf, hadn't thought of baskets here. Paint is BM Aura - Vancouver Day, we used it throughout and really like it. |

- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 8:52
I agree with baskets or bins as well. When something is overhead, you want to be able to lift it out and take it down so you can see inside. With pull outs, you can't do that without a step stool. We did something similar in our mud room with cubbies over the bench for hats and scarves and gloves and such. |
In recent updating of both kitchen and bath we purchased two brands of wire pullouts (since we did not replace our cabinets and they have doors instead of drawers). I agree that the Rev-a-Shelf versions are a little herky/jerky. But the ones from Lynk (purchased from Solutions, but BB&B also carries them) glide ever so smoothly. AND, they mount closer to the bottom of the cabinet, so you get more storage space. Rev-a-Shelf offers more configurations, though. |
- Posted by bmorepanic (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 10:30
I wonder if you could look at some of the base cabinet, blind corner stuff? Would it help to replace the upper shelf with lazy susans on the middle shelf? Would it help to replace the shelves with wire grid shelves? I might choose to install wood rollouts on the bottom but still use the wood shelves on the top. I might put a step riser in the back, tho, so stuff couldn't go so far back - or if it is in the back, that its raised up and visible. Labeled baskets are a good idea too. I think that if all three levels were pullouts, I'd need a ladder to even guess at what was on the top two shelves. |
kashmi - belatedly, thanks for the info on Lynk pullouts. bmorepanic - thanks too for the suggestions. I ended up going with baskets and now need to figure out some sort of labeling solution :) From TheBasketLady - |
I have very similar baskets in my mudroom. We use the Pottery Barn Sabrina basket chalkboard labels on each one: gloves, hats, scarves, etc. They tie on with twine and you can change the contents with the seasons. HTH Pam |
The paint color is lovely. How would you describe the color a blue or a gray? I'm looking for gray for my master bath reno to compliment statuary marble counters and white thasso marble half up the wall. It looks nice against your white wainscot. |
My experience is that hockey bags are way too smelly to have in the house ;) |
You are a brave woman! I couldn't stand it! Hung out to dry in the garage until the temps were freezing and then down in the basement! Little guy trucking up and down the basement stairs with a big hockey bag! |
I don't have a solution for you, but I'm in the same situation and am looking forward to the answer. Whatever you end up doing, post how it works for you. Mine only has two shelves and I planned on putting canning stuff on the top shelf. But I don't know if that will work or not. |
Now I see why you need a dogroom, you have German "Shedders" : ) I have them too. Lovely longcoat you have there. Sorry, no suggestions for you other than what has been already suggested. That Vancouver Day is a seriously pretty paint color. |
