I shared a few pics of our kitchen vignettes on the Kitchen Forum, but realized I never shared the bath areas with the Bath Forum. The vignettes are smaller than the kitchen ones, but we still wanted to showcase each area as an individual unit. Before area. We had to move all of the old displays, rip up the flooring, and build the walls before we could make them pretty. Small traditional and contemporary vanities: XYLEM Larger Transitional Master Bath: Dynasty cabinets, Newport Brass faucets. Mannington Serengetti Slate for main tile, with flat cut pebbles for niche and shower floor. Real stacked slate panels for outside shower from BPI Distributors. Kerdi system and bench display courtesy BPI Distributors. My amazing and talented tile/bathroom contractor was Dylan Parrish and his (almost) retired father and mother who worked even on Easter Sunday so we could make our grand opening deadline. He's the one that came up with that gorgeous pattern for the Serengeti Slate floor in the master bath showcase. And he patiently pulled individual rocks from the sheets of pebbles to get the corners of the niche just right. He's a measure three times cut once kind of guy and I can't say enough kind things about him. |

Congratulations! and gorgeous displays. I especially love the slate. |
I like the slate too. |
What fun to see so many different combos in one place. It shows what amazing things you can do with all sorts of tiles. It helps to make these humongous decisions about which tile goes where. Thank you. -Babka |
This is terrific. So many options in one place. What a nice installation too. I really like the running bond slate wall in the 6". |

A Republican and a Democratic candidate have announced they will run for the 40th Assembly District seat.
The seat is now held by Grace Meng (D-Flushing), who is running for the newly created 6th Congressional District.
The Queens Democratic Party has endorsed Ron Kim, 33, for the seat; while Sunny Hahn, 60, said she will run as a Republican with or without the party's endorsement.
Kim, who works for the Parkside Group, a political consulting firm and lobbyist, said Friday he is taking a leave of absence during the campaign. He previously worked in state and city government. Kim ran in 2009 for then-Councilman John Liu's seat, who was running for comptroller, but he pulled out of the race citing party unity.
Hahn, a Flushing activist in the Korean community, had hoped to run for the 16th Senatorial seat, but was not endorsed by the county GOP, who selected J.D. Kim, a Flushing lawyer. At her announcement Thursday outside the historic Bowne House, Hahn said she wants to build on the "glorious past of Flushing" and to put it on the map.

My husband and myself, along with our dog Jack were lucky to snag the last free room at the beach club this past Saturday night. Having stayed there before, we knew what to expect and thoroughly enjoyed our waterfront accommodations.

The deck, private beach and view make it a truly special place. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, the setting is ideal and hard to find - especially with this value and service.

During my long military career I traveled to many beautiful countries and cities. I'd been to Provincetown once many years ago. Upon arriving at the guest check-in location I was immediately impressed with the kind service and explicit directions and excellent recommendations. The accomodations were impeccable making me instantly comfortable. With Mews a very short walk away I enjoyed the drinks, food and the warm reception from both staff and customers. Check out day, I was reluctant to leave my home for a day but was pleasantly surprised and totally impressed by the service you two provide your guests with. Breakfast was fantastic. All bases covered, and then some! Wanting more than a memory, I vowed to become a regular customer!

Arriving on the night of a blizzard, we were made to feel safe, warm and comfortable at the Aerie House. We usually spend a week in August but chose this year to celebrate the Solstice with Dave and Steve who have become dear to us. Breakfast is complete and scrumptious every day and we enjoy sharing the daily paper(s) with Steve. Their home truly becomes ours. We look forward to our stay, and meeting new friends, in 2010.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Aerie House for two nights. This was one of the best B&B experiences we have ever had. Dave and Steve were wonderful hosts, the rooms were small, but clean and charming, (we were in Room 3, then moved to Room 5, which was fine -- they were really booked.) The breakfasts were fantastic -- wonderful egg dishes and fruit and breads, bagels, juices all served on a deck overlooking the bay. We had our dog with us and they treated her like a princess. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

My first time in Ptown was amazing thanks to Steve and Dave. Their inn is beautiful and charming. They made reservations for us on the Whale Watch and for dinner at Mew's, making this one of the most memorable days of my life. Awesome!!

The Teachings
Print this page
Dzogchen is an ancient spiritual teaching developed in Tibet within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It does not belong to a school or religious system. Rather, it is the knowledge that Tibetan masters have transmitted without being limited by sectarianism. The word 'Dzogchen', meaning 'total perfection', actually refers to the true inherent nature of all beings, their primordial state, which is free from all limitations and conditioning. The master's transmission of this state of knowledge lies at the very heart of the Dzogchen teachings.
The Dzogchen tradition has been passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage over the centuries, right up to the present day. Due to its direct and unelaborate approach, it transcends cultural boundaries making it accessible to all nationalities regardless of their spiritual background.
Direct Transmission
The transmission of knowledge from master to disciple can be oral, symbolic or direct. The uniqueness of the Dzogchen teaching is the direct transmission or "direct introduction" in which the master and the student find themselves in the primordial state at the same moment through one of the experiences related to body, voice or mind. Due to the power of the transmission, the students are able to discover their own real condition in this way.
In addition to his extensive world-wide retreats, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu offers direct introduction three times a year, on the anniversaries of Garab Dorje, Guru Padmasambhava, and Adzom Drugpa. In order to make it possible for people who cannot attend a retreat or come to a direct introduction in person, these direct transmissions are offered by live webcast at local Gars and Lings world-wide.
If you are interested in receiving direct transmission via the webcast, contact your local Gar or Ling in advance of the three anniversary dates and ask if they are organizing any introductory classes beforehand. Also, often the Gars and Lings have live video broadcasts of the transmission explanations. Otherwise, you can also use our webcast system, which is open to all on these dates. The direct transmissions take place in August, November, and March exact dates vary since they are based on the Tibetan lunar calendar.
"Guru" means master, "yoga" means having knowledge or understanding of one's own authentic state, the essential condition in which there is nothing to change or modify. This is the state of the Guru. Guruyoga is, therefore, the main element in Dzogchen practice.
Semde, Longde and Mennagde
Three Series of the Dzogchen Teaching: Semde, Longde and Mennagde
Manjushrimitra received the transmission of all Dzogchen teachings from Garab Dorje and subdivided them into three series: Semde, Longde and Mennagde. The three series are three ways of presenting the teaching, each with its corresponding methods of practice; the aim of all three, however, is to lead to final realization.
In Semde, the "mind series," the practitioner is introduced to the nature of mind in order to have a concrete experience of it. Longde means the "series of space." In this instance space refers to the primordial dimension of emptiness which serves as a base for manifesting the clarity of the practitioner. Mennagde, the essential series of "secret instructions" or Upadesha, comprises special teachings and methods based on the experiences of masters, with the aim of helping the practitioner progress up to complete realization.
Longsal Terma Cycle
The Longsal cycle of teachings was received by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu through dreams of clarity. Eight volumes of these teachings, comprising the essence of the three series of Dzogchen in their fundamental aspects related to the view, meditation, and behavior, have been published so far. The complete title of this cycle is Longchen Osal Khandroi Nyingthig or The Luminous Clarity of the Universe, Heart Essence of the Dakinis (female manifestations of primordial energy).

Annexation, rezoning expected to pass easily in F'ville
It should be smooth sailing March 7 when the Fayetteville City Council hears the second reading of a annexation request that would bring a small tract on Ellis Road into the city. Situated along Ga. Highway 85 south of the Fayette Pavilion, the annexation of the half-acre lot will round out the access needed for construction of a Panera Bread Company restaurant.
The council will also hear the first reading of a rezoning request that would lead to the installation of a drive-thru window in the new restaurant at the Waterfall commercial center on Grady Avenue and Ga. Highway 54 West.
Currently situated in unincorporated Fayette County, the Panera Bread property carries a C-H (Highway Commercial) zoning and will fall under the city's comparable C-3 (Highway Commercial) zoning category. It was noted earlier that the parcel would be developed primarily for the restaurant's parking and stormwater detention. The remainder of the Panera site is already inside city limits.
The city has shown the property on its zoning and land use maps for a number of years, though the property essentially fell through the cracks when the surrounding property was annexed. The .51-acre property is located at 104 Ellis Road across from Zaxby's and is situated along Hwy. 85 just south of the Fayette Pavilion.
Panera Bread is requesting the annexation.
The Fayette County Commission on Feb. 14 had no objection to the annexation request. The commission's unanimous vote not to object to the annexation came with little discussion by the board. Fayette County Planning Director Pete Frisina told commissioners the half-acre lot was a remnant parcel that was inadvertently left off a previous annexation into Fayetteville.
Also at the March 7 meeting, the council will hear the first reading of a rezoning request for the Waterfall commercial development at Hwy. 54 West and Grady Avenue. Specific to the westernmost of the two buildings, the request would have that building rezoned from C-1 (Downtown Commercial) to C-3 to accommodate the installation of a drive-thru at the restaurant site still under construction.

On the BIOS layout scene GIGABYTE uses the same Award 6 "Blue" BIOS they have used for years. However, a major change has been made. Normally we have the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T) menu on the right hand side of the screen, but on all of the new boards GIGABYTE is releasing, the M.I.T menu is the first menu that is selected on the top left. This is nice to see as this is where we want to go when we are in the BIOS to overclock the system.
CPU Host Frequency: 100 - 1200 MHz in 1MHz Increments
PCIE Frequency: 100 - 150 MHz in 1MHz Increments
CPU VCore: 0.50v to 2.3v in 0.00625v increments
CPU Term Voltage: 1.1v to 1.7v in 0.02v increments
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.5v to 2.81v in various increments
CPU Reference: 0.76v to 1.010v in Various increments
MCH Core: 1.1v to 2.0v in 0.02v increments
MCH Reference: 0.76v to 1.040v in Various Increments
MCH/DRAM Reference: 0.9v to 1.76v in 0.02v increments
ICH I/O: 1.5v to 2.31v in 0.02v Increments
ICH Reference: 1.1v to 1.4v in 0.1v increments
DRAM Voltage: 1.45v to 3.02v in 0.02v increments
DRAM Termination: 70.9v to 1.355v in Various increments
Channel A Reference: 0.9v to 1.76v in 0.02v increments
Channel B Reference: 0.9v to 1.76v in 0.02v increments
Overclocking the EP45-UD3P, we found ourselves extremely impressed. With only six voltage rails we didn't expect to see extremely high clock speeds, however GIGABYTE seems to have done a very impressive job with the UD3 design. We managed to press the FSB up to a max speed of 558MHz FSB; that's not far off the EP45 Extreme and ASUS' P5Q. We did have to tweak all of the FSB and CPU voltages a little as well as push DRAM to 2.3v, however, the board remained stable at this speed across all our tests. Pressing to 560MHz caused us lock ups in Premiere Elements 4, so we considered this unstable and 558MHz was our highest FSB; well done GIGABYTE.
Important Editor Note: Our maximum overclocking result is the best result we managed in our limited time of testing the motherboard. Due to time constraints we weren't able to tweak the motherboard to the absolute maximum and find the highest possible FSB, as this could take days to find properly. We do however spend at least a few hours overclocking every motherboard to try and find the highest possible overclock in that time frame. You may or may not be able to overclock higher if you spend more time tweaking, or as new BIOS updates are released. "Burn-in" time might also come into play if you believe in that.

Jane, I want very much to know the birth date and death date of Ann Goudelock, daughter of Adam Goudelock and Hannah Stockton. Ann married William Saffold, Jr between 1769 and 1773 in Old 96th District, South Carolina (present Union or Cherokee Counties) Ann's parents had migrated to SC from, I believe, Albemarle Co, VA. William's parents had migrated from Surry Co, VA by way of Old Lunenburg Co, VA and Johnston Co, NC. William and Ann Goudelock moved to Georgia to claim his Revolutionary War Bounty lands in 1786 (Washington County.) They lived there the rest of their lives. One of Ann's and William's sons was named Adam Goudeloch Saffold after her father, Adam Goudelock. Hoping you may have at least one of those dates. (Ann was my gggrandmother.) Frank Saffold

With most chassis in this price range, there is more of a plain wrapper. With the Chaser A41, you get a high gloss black box, and on the front offers a view of the chassis with some artsy blue curves around it, the name of the chassis and the manufacturer, and that this chassis has native USB 3.0 inside.
On this side of the box you are dealing with the specifications list that got put here. All of the information we saw on the last page is included here, and they also added the model name to this specs chart.
I'm not sure, maybe this is the front of the box, but the only thing that changes from both of the larger panels is that on this side you can see a black and red box at the top right corner that aren't on the other side.
Under a thick red stripe that runs across the top, there is some information displayed in 11 languages other than English. Here they discuss the native USB 3.0, the ventilation and dust filters, expansion bays and video card maximum length, and that it offers great cable management and LCS support (water cooling support).
Inside of the box you will find the Chaser A41 wrapped in a plastic liner, and has an additional layer of plastic on the window to help protect it a bit more. Outside of that, Thermaltake chose to use Styrofoam to center and support this chassis during travels to the buyer's house. Considering mine came from overseas, the tiny dent in the right side panel is not all that bad considering the distance this traveled.

I was soooo happy to find your post. I too, happen to be getting married on October 15th, 2011 and am in the mid stages of researching flower options. Though I have a black thumb and have no intention of growing my own flowers, reading your posts gave me some good ideas. I will be doing most of everything else myself, so if you want to exchange info, becuase I snagged some of yours, then let me know. |
You might want to consider other fall ornamentals such as amaranth and broom corn. Some of them are very decorative and would enhance your fall flowers. If you go to Johhny's Selected Seeds they have a nice selection under Flowers-Ornamental Grasses. |
Thanks for the ideas! Keep them coming! :) I am so excited. I'm starting my sunflowers now, so hopefully they will be in good shape by the time June rolls around. |

text: As always, Carpenter has an expert way with ballads of betrayal or obsession (''I'll be a slave to the beauty, but not to the truth'' being a terrific example of psychological incorrectness). But, perhaps sensing this lovelorn ennui can be a collective drag, she tosses in less accomplished, more upbeat material like ''Maybe World,'' full of self-help bromides banal enough to send you deeper into a midlife funk. Worst is the peppy ''This Is Me Leaving You,'' a transparent remake of ''He Thinks He'll Keep Her.'' Stick with her slow, depressing stuff, and bring your Zoloft.

Hoping someone here can advise me. Three tiles in my kitchen floor recently cracked and needed replacing. Unfortunately, the contractor forgot the radiant heat system in the floor and cut right through the wire (He did the original tiling and knew about the heat system.)
Is it safe to have an electrician simply splice the wire back together before applying more thinset and replacing the tiles? |

Contact the manufacturer or distributor. I installed my own and used a "Loudmouth" alarm while doing any work on the floor. My cable is Elektra, made in Poland. To my eye, it looks like superb quality. The heating conductor is insulated and then spiral wrapped with a small gauge grounding conductor. Patching would be difficult. |
- Posted by melissastar (My Page) on Wed, Aug 31, 11 at 11:41
Thanks bus driver. Don't know why that didn't occur to me. I just called and they sell a patch kit. Should have known...it can't be that uncommon that someone screws up! |
- Posted by melissastar (My Page) on Wed, Sep 14, 11 at 21:32
Bus driver, just wanted to thank you again. Patch kit worked perfectly and the contractor has made the repair in the radiant heat and tile. We've also figured out what went wrong in the first place and taken care of that....thanks a bunch for the suggestion! |

The GOP does not have majority in the House quite yet, but Republicans are already succeeding in obstructing Democratic legislation.
According to media reports, House Republicans on Nov. 18 blocked a bill to extend benefits for the long-term unemployed. Needing a two-third majority vote to pass, the $12 billion package would have extended the current unemployment insurance for certain Americans by about three months. Most Republicans believe that the cost of the program should be offset by other savings rather than adding billions more to the national deficit.
The Wall Street Journal reports that 800,000 unemployed workers will lose their benefits by Nov. 30 and two million will lose them by the end of December. The parties are expected to reach a compromise, but not until December at the earliest.
A total of 143 Republicans voted against the bill, while 21 GOP members favored it.
In response to the voting result, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that unemployment insurance is a proven economic booster that returns $2 back into the economy for every $1 invested. She claimed that Democrats voted to help the unemployed, while Republicans did not.
"We will continue to work for an emergency short-term extension to get families through the holidays and to work for longer term solutions as well," said Pelosi.

Last week SEOMoz.org released a new tool to the Search Marketing world called "Page Strength". The tool takes an in-depth review of several different factors of a website's "strength" within the search engine world. The nicest thing I found about this tool is that it does not rely on just one source to pull all of its information from.
Not being a fan of Google's pagerank tool, I happily surfed over to Rand Fishkin's site after reading a Page Strength Tool Review on SearchEngine Roundtable by Barry Schwartz. Barry actually took the time to create a nice visual summary of the tool's use, so it's worth checking out. Beyond Barry's review, the tool also got the attention of Search Engine Watch and Threadwatch last week – which ended up driving a boat load of traffic to SEOMoz.org, so much so that they had to pull down the tool for a while.
First, let me say that I like this tool – it's a great "quick glance" at where a website can stand in different elements of the search optimization. However, I don't believe SEO marketers should rely on this soley. There are certain aspects I have questions with, which I did ask Rand about, and to his and Matt's credit (smart thinking guys!) that information is being kept close to their vests as it differentiates them from anyone else.
This tool is nice because its gives a more well rounded view of the website's existence in the search landscape. And this is Organic Search or Natural Search I'm speaking to here, the tool doesn't focus on the paid search realm.
I've always have had questions about Google's "Page Rank", mostly my questions focus around "Page Rank for What?" and "What does Page Rank Really Mean?". This tool takes the Page Rank from Google and uses it as a piece of the total picture, putting it along side of counts of links in Wikipedia, DMOZ, and de.licio.us. Taking these pieces along with counts of how many links are coming into a domain (also segmenting .edu and .gov links coming in and weighting their values), allows the webmaster/SEO marketer to have a better handle on where the website stands on a whole, not just in one search engine.
As I stated, I don't believe this is a tool to solely base where a website stands on, there are other factors here that should be looked at, and until there's a tool built, SEO professionals will still have to go about manually securing that information. The tool does look at the first 4 keywords in a title tag and how the site ranks for those in Google, however, when you are just taking over a site to do SEO for it, its not likely those first four words mean a thing to what the company's bottom line is.
Where I've found the best use for this tool is in comparative analysis. Being able to put competitor websites on the same playing field and comparing the same data. The ability to say "look your competitor's website is stronger than your website because they have all their bases covered, where your current site only is strong in one area" is a powerful visual tool when you are trying to prove a point or close the sale on your SEO services.
Rand & Matt have put together a really nice tool with Page Strength, one that I recommend adding to your "tool chest", especially since they are offering it for free. Here's hoping they might beef it up a bit and possibly offer a more complete version for a price – my bet is that they're already working on it! A lot of us would pay money for such a tool.

Other Pets at Saving Great Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ted URGENT, a San Diego Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego 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 San Diego 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

At the Mobile World Congress, a battle to keep up with change
Posted by: Marian Berelowitz - New York in Europe
The consensus at 2013's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was that "change is happening fast, and at an astonishing scale," as we wrote back then. That's one thing that hasn't changed since last year. Speakers and attendees routinely noted how dizzyingly fast technology and the business landscape are evolving and how quickly consumers are embracing […]

Renovations to the company's 46,000-square-foot facility are 80% complete, he said, with the general warehouse space "pretty much up to speed" and a new racking system in place.
He expects Tomato King's new packing line to be operational by mid-February, or as soon as it meets HACCP specifications. Corn, broccoli and peppers are a few of the items being considered for the line.
"Customers are asking for packaging, and the fewer hands that touch the produce the happier they'll be. Today you've got to add some value to the product," he said.
Tomato King sells produce to independent retailers and jobbers throughout southern Ontario.
Veg-Pak Produce to open second space
Importer, distributor and packager Veg-Pak Produce Ltd., Toronto, is in negotiations to purchase a second facility, said president Vic Carnevale, who hopes the space will be ready by summer.
"Our packaging side is growing so quickly, we have lines we're not using because we don't have the space," Carnevale said.
Best-sellers include Pop-I spinach, vegetable trays, onion varieties from pearl to Spanish and Indian vegetables in trays, he said.
The company is considering using one building for packaging and another for storage, Carnevale said.
Veg-Pak continues to bring in ethnic vegetables to meet the growing demand in Chinese and south Asian supermarkets in southern Ontario.
Wal-Mart tailors store to local customers
Nine-foot dragons and Chinese lanterns celebrated the Lunar New Year and Wal-Mart Canada's first "Store of the Community," recognizing the strong Asian customer base at the chain's Scarborough Supercentre.
The Bentonville, Ark.-based chain uses census and market research data to identify multicultural population clusters around stores and tailors merchandise accordingly.
The Scarborough store, in northeastern Toronto, now offers an expanded produce section, live fish tanks, an Asian butcher shop and bakery.
"Our customers have responded to this new offering very favorably," said Jim Pilkington, director of the four-year-old Store of the Community program.
"They're pleased to know they can find everything they need, including traditional Asian foods, all under one roof," he said

"Who do you mean by 'We'?", was Bruce Mochan's first question when Jason Cohen, the Branch Director of the Winsted Y, first approached him with the crazy idea. Cohen had just proposed to Mochan, the Y's Housing Manager, that they put together a fundraiser for the Y's homeless shelter that included them spending the night on the town green in the middle of winter. It seemed like an appropriate way to remind the community that numerous families and individuals must do that on a regular basis.
From there the idea, dubbed "Freezin' For A Reason", snowballed to include two other community leaders that will be sleeping in East End Park on Friday, December 14. Dale Martin, Winchester's Town Manager, Dennis Minor, New Harford's Parks and Recreation Director, and David Sartirana, Winsted Deputy Fire Chief, will round out the team of hardy souls ready to brave the cold.
"I'm bracing for a chilly night," said Martin. "It's all for a great cause, however, so I'm hoping the good karma will keep us warm." In order to raise funds, the participants are tasked with soliciting donations of at least five hundred dollars each, though there will definitely be some friendly competition to see who can bring in the biggest total.
The Y is an Agency that serves the entire North West corner so anyone seeking services from New Hartford to Canaan will benefit from this event.
"I've never slept outside in temperatures as low as expected but if any of those guys out fund raise me, I'll sleep out there an extra night."
"One dollar for Minor will lead to Major help for the homeless. The goal is $500 and we're looking for $1 pledges".
The Winsted Y homeless shelter recently celebrated twenty five years of serving the community. Its six rooms contain seventeen beds, which accommodate families as well as single men and women. Stays at the shelter typically range from 30-90 days, as Mochan works with the clients toward finding more permanent housing. While the shelter typically serves about 65 clients during an average year, far more are perennially on the waiting list for a bed.
"I unfortunately have to turn down hundreds of requests per year," said Mochan, "as I just don't have a bed available at the time."
Operating the shelter can be a financial challenge for the Y, however it is one that they feel passionately about. "Perhaps no single program or service better exemplifies the mission of the Y than our shelter," said Cohen, "and it goes to the roots of the Y as a national organization, as well as our 125 year history here in Winsted."
The funds raised through this event will go toward operating the shelter, as well as enhancing the experience for clients. From providing money to do laundry, to offering educational programs, to replacing aging furniture and appliances, donations will allow the clients a bit more dignity and normalcy during their difficult transition.
To support one or more of the participants in their overnight effort, visit the Y's web site www.northwestctymca.org or call (860) 379-0708.

Jay Cross helps people work and live smarter. Jay is the Johnny Appleseed of informal learning. He wrote the book on it. He was the first person to use the term eLearning on the web. He has challenged conventional wisdom about how adults learn since designing the first business degree program offered by the University of Phoenix.
I'm reading Jonah Lehrer's How We Decide and enjoying it immensely.
Deciding is not what you thought. It's not a rational process.
Scientists equipped with fMRI gear are discovering that emotion and social relations are bedrock.
This article by Marilyn Bunting in the Guardian draws these conclusions from recent books that peer into our brains:
First, we have much underestimated the social nature of the brain: how primed it is to recognise, interpret and respond all the time to the input of others and how that lays down patterns which govern our behaviour. We are herd-like animals who show a strong tendency to conform with group norms; what makes our brains so much bigger than other primates is this remarkable capacity for social skills such as empathy, co-operation and fairness. Instead of the old metaphor of individuals as discrete entities like billiard balls, we need to think instead of them as nodes in a relationship network.
The second area of astonishing discoveries is in the plasticity of the brain. We talk of "hardwiring" (computers have generated many misleading metaphors for the brain) but in fact, the brain can be changed. Parts of the brain can learn entirely new tricks. Neural pathways are not fixed, and even much of the damage done by deprivation in childhood can be repaired with the right circumstances of example, support and determination. We can shape our own brains to create new habits that we might have thought we were not capable of.
Instead of pointing out that "Learning is social," perhaps we should simply say that "People are social."

Good morning! I briefly mentioned it yesterday but I'm OFFICIALLY announcing today that I created this FUNraiser. Fundraising for what, you ask? New Vox Mod merch, tour expenses, but most excitingly, a music video!
I have the wonderful privilege of collaborating with Amy O'Neal, Benjamin Van Citters, and PPenetrationn NNoww for the video. It will feature the soon-to-be first single, Iridescent Asteroid Mists, from my new album. I know you haven't heard the song yet, it comes out on February 4th, but I promise this will be worth it!
Any bit of money helps. Plus there are some really good perks if you give a bit extra so make sure to check those out. Please share this with whoever you think would be interested, many thanks in advance!

This happy mama's nursery is all teal, brown & coral for her surprise baby – so we made this custom happy flowers coral baby shower invitation just for her! While we usually share a sonogram or maternity photo on this card, she did not have one to share and wanted extra room for a verse, so this personalized layout style worked out perfectly. Her custom verse was "Her tummy is expanding, the time is drawing near, let's shower this happy mama with gifts to prepare the nursery before her sweet blessing is here!" A unique twist on gender neutral colors, a large "Girl or Boy" tops the invitation in script to remind her guests of the surprise baby when planning shower gift purchases.

A small but almost perfect application designed to be a spontaneous sketching and ideas tool. Aly Fell shows you how to use SketchBook Pro.
With this workshop I'm going to provide you with an introduction to a small application from the Autodesk family, which is now in its second version. From my own experiences I know that SketchBook Pro can easily be introduced into your workflow to get down initial thoughts and/or present a completed image that can be taken further in other applications or stand alone. Bear in mind that it wasn't designed as a competitor for the more established and complex programs – such as Photoshop or Painter, which have different priorities – but as a sketching tool. To benefit from SketchBook's features, a graphics tablet is pretty essential, or if you're made of money, a Cintiq is even better.
I had a degree of familiarity with the first SketchBook Pro, having used just the pencil sketching option for roughing out poses and thumbnails, so the chance to have a look at SketchBook Pro 2 was quite appealing. There were a few things about the first version that left me a little cold, so I was interested to see whether my problems were universal and how much SketchBook Pro had changed here. Well, my answer from my initial play is pretty positive. Here's what I found out…

Hi, I have a great thornless black berry plant that produces a lot of large fruit. The past 2 years, i believe it's been infected with RedBerry Mites, and 50% of the crop is wasted. I want to control it this year. I read that Golden Pest Spray Oil is a good oil to get, it seems really expensive though, and I'm not sure where to get it locally, so the shipping costs don't help. I read that Golden Pest Spray Oil is 93% soybean oil and 7% inactive ingredients. What if I just buy soybean oil from the supermarket and use that diluted with water (although i don't know the proportion). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. |

That stuff is supposed to be diluted to about 2% and is best used as a dormant or leaf-budding stage spray to smother overwintering adults or eggs. Once the adults are on the move in a leafed-out berry patch, control will be difficult. Whatever you do, test it first on a small portion of your berry plants if there is already significant new growth. |
You can use many insecticides on blackberries, but it isn't organic. That does not mean they are toxic. Many organics are extremely toxic! Many chemical sprays breakdown fast, read the label! Stark Brothers has these suggestions for blackberries: At the First Sign of: ■Bonide® Captain Jack's™ Deadbug Brew for fruitworms, thrips, leafrollers and more. ■Bonide® Citrus, Fruit & Nut Orchard Spray for aphids, mites, blight, thrips, powdery mildew, rust and more. ■Bonide® Thuricide® Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) for omnivorus leafroller. ■GardenTech® Sevin® Concentrate Bug Killer for aphids, fruitworms, Japanese beetles, mites, rose chafer, leafrollers and more. ■Bayer Advanced™ Complete Insect Killer for aphids, mites, leafrollers, fruitworms, Japanese beetles, rose chafer and more. I would still test any product on a small area first. |

MCC or ASU?
0Jan 18, '11 by JRdaMacmanFirst off: Hello All! I am SO happy to have found this forum - it has been an invaluable resource and I've spent countless hours reading here! Thank you everyone who has contributed their wealth of knowledge here, it is greatly appreciated!
I am an NAU graduate with a totally unrelated degree to Nursing. I graduated right at the turn of the economy fallout, and wasn't able to get into the career I had studied for. I had to fall back into what I was trying to get out of at the time, which was (and is) IT Helpdesk / Tech Support / PC Support, after not finding work related to my field of study for over a year after graduation.
Immediately after graduation, during my job-hunting, freelance work here-and-there and scraping up anything I could get to survive, I had plenty of time on my hands. Some of my time was wasted in depression and defeat, but the surplus of free time ended up being a great opportunity in the end. I learned a lot about who I was, and began to learn more about the field of Nursing. I learned through discussion with friends, relatives, and acquaintances that I really wanted to pursue this career, as it fit my lifestyle and life goals.
I wasn't really sure which route to go, ASU's BSN or MCC's program. I decided that rather than to continue to sit around and try to figure it out, I'd start working on it, regardless, which was a turning point in my life, after my bubble of "great job and great pay after degree" was burst.
I went with MCC, since it was the cheaper of the two options, offered (roughly) the same graduation date, (Or so I thought at the time) the same certification, and due to the fact that I have no options for financial aid now that I have a bachelor's degree, and I already was broke and had debt from a previous degree. This decision also was before I had any knowledge of pay differences, difficulty in finding work with AND vs. BSN, etc. - I just figured an RN is an RN, and that is that. Maricopa CC had a year-and-a-half wait, and ASU was going to take roughly 3-4 years to complete, and Maricopa CC was significantly less expensive than ASU. So either way, after 3-4 years I would have an RN certification and begin my career. Also, at that time I decided I could always go the RN-BSN route if I decided to further my education in the future, and I would have the funds to do it, as well, since I would already be working.
Unfortunately, as life moved on, my time-frame wasn't entirely accurate, and I'm now approaching my 2-year-mark after deciding to take the leap, and have all my MCC pre- and co-requisites done. I am just now getting my application packet together to be processed by this application period. (Hopefully, it's getting down to the wire and still waiting for fingerprint ID... :-\) I'm hearing now that there is a 2-year waiting period, which means I will graduate, at the soonest, in 4 years.
I'm applying to MCC anyway, but I am strongly reconsidering my original decision. I am wondering if my graduation date would be the same if I were to transfer these credits to ASU and go with the BSN. Keep in mind that I've already got a BFA from NAU, so a lot of the requirements would already be met for ASU. I know now, after having a couple more years of knowledge, experience, and education, that the BSN would be a stronger foundation and would provide me more opportunity for career options. However, to further the complication, I'm the sole financial provider for my partner and child, and if I were not able to work, it would be a detrimental hit to our family. Yet another reason the MCC option is more appealing, as GCC offers a "night-and-weekends" RN program. I could keep my existing job, which, while monotonous and emotionally draining, is a fairly well-paying job.
Throughout this process I've found that there isn't a lot of clear-cut information on either program, especially in regards to the wait lists, the program requirements, expected graduation dates, etc. I can't get specific information online, (it seems to change every semester) and I get mixed reports from advisors, never really receiving any solid facts. I am currently working on a contract with my company and am temporarily located in Australia, so talking to anyone with any familiarity or "inside knowledge" is very difficult, due to the time/day difference.
I'm nearing what should be the halfway point of my career, but am still a few years from even starting a new one... It's very discouraging and emotionally-challenging at times. I'm keeping my head up and keeping my determination; I try to remind myself continually that hard work will pay off, and difficult circumstances builds character!
Sorry for the lengthy post - I know everyone has their unique circumstances and each is affected and affects how they are pursuing their dream. I think it's important to disclose mine if I want fair, rounded advice. If you've lasted this long, I appreciate it very much! I would appreciate any advice and/or input anyone has regarding my decision of waiting it out with MCC for an undetermined amount of time, or taking what I've already got and pressing forward with ASU and their BSN program.
Cliff notes:
1.) Graduated with BFA but couldn't get job
2.) Now working in undesired field with family to support financially
3.) Has credits from previous degree & pre- / co-req's for MCC program
4.) Just applying for MCC which has 2-year wait list
5.) Should I apply for ASU instead, and get bachelor degree, instead of MCC associate degree? -
1Jan 18, '11 by abvincent1Well, my advice to you is why do either? Look in to your alma mater's accelerated program. I applied there for this year's entrance. It requires a bachelor's degree, and the program can be completed in 1 year (12 months). In addition, you would have most if not all the prereqs done so you could enter right away.
Sadly, you didn't post this soon enough, as the application deadline was January 15. But definitely look in to the program for next year if you are still debating the options---you get a BSN in that program as well, however it is in Flagstaff but my understanding is classes are only 1-2 days a week and clinicals are all over. So it is still feasible to live in Phoenix, which is what I intend to do (if I am accepted).
As for ASU vs MCC, my advice is go for both. Don't let deadlines and what-if's stop you from pursuing either. Go after both and whichever works out will be the right choice in the end.KristeyK likes this. -
0Jan 19, '11 by JRdaMacmanThanks for the advice!
I will look into the accelerated program; that sounds like a MUCH better solution to what I'm starting to see as a "never-ending college career." I think you're referring to NAU, but not sure... So I'll just Google it.
I guess you're right about ASU vs MCC too... Never thought about the fact that I can apply to both and go from there. (Not sure why?!) Right now just hanging out until June when I get back into the States. -
0Jan 19, '11 by fromtheseaRNapply to both. that's what i did, and ended up in the gcc weekend program (got a scholarship through a single parents program that let me bypass the wait list). or, if your last school offers it, do the accelerated course.
also, new grads, either bsn or adn, make very comparable pay. the biggest difference i've heard is 25cents/hour. of course with a bsn you can move further up the chain and make more- and if you you do go an adn route, your bsn can be done all online through asu in 12 months following your RN licensure. that's my plan and i'm going to end up saving about $10,000 doing it this way. -
0Jan 20, '11 by JRdaMacmanThanks fromthesea! I really think the main reason I wanted to go (and still am leaning toward going) the MCC route was for $$ reasons.
a.) Tuition is cheaper and I will have to pay this on my own, out of pocket - Student loans aren't available to people w/ bachelor's degrees
b.) I can work at the same time as going to school. Being able to stay out of even more debt is very appealing. Being able to put food on the table and a roof over my family's head is also very appealing.
c.) RN-BSN allows me to lock in pricing (At ASU anyway) right now, and I can work at the same time as pursuing it as well.
Seems like a no-brainer, but I don't want to be going to school forever either... So that's why I always second-guess my decision.
Also, you mentioned bypassing the wait list... This is exactly what I'm talking about in my post above: When I talk to advisors or pull information from the school websites, I NEVER offers this sort of information. I didn't know there was ANY way to bypass the wait list. This is the sort of invaluable information that I think advisors should be passing on, and it should be made readily available on the website, but I always seem to get it second-hand, from students who were made aware of it through some other channel of communication.
Why is there so much mystery to these programs, the ability to bypass the wait list (but how?), tricks to getting into certain schools, I could go on and on and on...
But thank you for your input, either way! -
2Jan 23, '11 by Cursed IrishmanWho told you loans weren't available to people with prior BS's? Grants aren't available, loans are.
There is no difference between a new grad adn & a new grad bsn; they're both new nurses who need to be trained. Apply to both, but stay away from private schools.foxybrown78 and fromtheseaRN like this. -
0Jan 23, '11 by JRdaMacmanI have only received loan info back from Scottsdale Community College, when I first applied for financial aid. (The advisor told me not to expect much, if anything, since i already had a degree.) I applied anyway, and wasn't eligible for any loans, from the finaid dept. (I'm guessing they only check for government loans?)
I have learned quickly to run screaming from private schools - thanks for the tip!
I have applied to MCC's nursing program but will have to take a couple more classes to apply for ASU. I won't be able to do that until, at the soonest, Fall 2011, when I'm back in the States. But I think I'll probably do it anyway, since it would be that much less work if I do the RN-BSN route after graduating from MCC, assuming I get in there.
Thank you for the advice! -
0Jan 24, '11 by fromtheseaRNyou kind of have to dig around to see the ways of getting around the wait list. i only knew the single mom's scholarship because the nursing advisor at phoenix college emailed me about it after i turned in my application. i believe there's a program for banner employees but you have to attend the boswell campus, and if nothing has changed, there's also a group for john c lincoln employees at scottsdale community college. phoenix college has a cohort for bilingual (spanish/english) nurses. any of this can no longer be true, it was just the case when i was applying. haven't really paid attention since i got in.
your best bet for figuring out the options are to dig around on the maricopa nursing website, or to contact the nursing advisor of whatever campus you applied at.
also, like cursed said, it sounds like the financial aid office only looked for grants, etc for you. there's no reason you can't get federal loans, they don't check for federal loans, you have to apply through fafsa.ed.gov for those (your campus financial aid office will be able to give you your school code, which you will need for the application)
i also signed my tuition-locking contract with ASU a year ago when i was in block 1, i just have to finish my bachelor within... 3 or 5 years of finishing my adn, i don't recall which, and i pay today's tuition rate. it's a pretty great deal considering they're raising the tuition by up to 20% each year (or so the rep said).
good luck to you! -
0Jan 26, '11 by yelnikmcwawaYou will not be eligible for lonas until you are actually ENROLLED in the degree seeking program. Pre-reqs don't cut it, you have to cover those on your own usually. But yes, loans are available to 2nd degree seekers once your schol has you listed as being enrolled in a degree program. I did NAU's accelerated program and got loans when I needed them. But, it could also be that you've already met the cap of undergrad loans...the government caps what they'll give now because of what happened in the 90' with people taking out endless amounts of loans. So, do your research, and talk to a financial aid officer who knows what they're talking about :-) Good luck!
0Jan 26, '11 by yelnikmcwawaUofA also has a new direct entry Masters nursing program that is 15 months. That might be a great option too...especially if your undergrad loan offering is capped out, because then you would be awarded loans based on your graduate status.

Eitzel began his indie-rock tenure way back before it was called "indie." In 1983 he formed the San Francisco-based American Music Club, an eclectic quintet that garnered a cult following over its eleven-year run. That era was plagued by Eitzel's tumultuous relationship with drink. While the booze made for some compelling and provocative songwriting (there really isn't a bad AMC record), it also turned Eitzel into a volatile and erratic bandmember with an unpredictable stage presence. He quit the band on several occasions, and accounts of his rambling, wrenching between-song banter at AMC shows abound. Old interviews provide interesting snapshots of the Club's life as a band: Eitzel is fed up with touring; the rest of the band has forbidden Eitzel to play guitar during the shows; the group has hired a new bassist, but Eitzel can't remember her name. Despite their cult following, AMC's members still had to work day jobs and often played to near-empty houses. Shortly after releasing its seventh album, 1994's San Francisco, the American Music Club disbanded, and Eitzel struck out on his own.
Eitzel released 60 Watt Silver Lining, his first proper solo record, on Warner Records in 1996. Silver Lining made it clear that he hadn't lost much of his clear-eyed view of life as we know it -- and he was unafraid to paint a sometimes ugly picture. In 1997 he recorded West with REM's Peter Buck, and many critics say that Buck's pop influences failed to support the weight of Eitzel's lyrics. The album brought his relationship with Warner to a close. He soon signed to the smaller, more hip Matador Records, and he released Caught in a Trap and I Can't Back Out 'Cause I Love You Too Much Baby in 1998. It came out just in time to be slapped with the newfangled label of "sadcore," although he could probably be considered a forefather of that indie-rock subgenre. Then came last year's Invisible Man (which featured AMC guitarist Vudi), yet another showcase of Eitzel's dark, poetic sensibility that inspired Spin to write: "He started as a drunk with a poet's ear and evolved into a dramatist with a drunk's cosmology."
"Americans think that if you do things that are happy, it's part of personal growth," says Eitzel from his hotel room in Boston. "Americans don't like things that aren't absolutely positive; if you don't do anything positive in America, you're obviously a failure. If you make something artistic, it's like you're expressing what your vision is; you're not reflecting your personal growth. It's funny that happiness equals 'good art.' I just don't think that what I have to say is depressing." Americans do have a tendency to look at life and art through rose-colored glasses. The truth hurts, and many Americans would prefer to see themselves reflected in Britney's radiance than in the jaded, unibrowed visage of a troubadour like Eitzel. "Yeah, because they're terrified by what the truth is," he kvetches. "It's too sweet to eat. It's food that will eventually kill you."
These themes of truth and sickening sweetness run through Eitzel's new record, Music for Courage & Confidence, a one-off for New West Records. A low-key affair, the album is a shadowy collection of covers spanning sixty years of bubbly pop songs that celebrate -- and bitch about -- love. Featuring guest musicians Joey Waronker (drums), Justin Meldal-Johnson (bass), Björn Olsson (guitar) and Marc Capelle (organ, piano), Music treats the sublime (Bill Withers's "Ain't No Sunshine"), the classic (the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You") and the cheesy (Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me") equally -- with a wry sense of humor lurking beneath the external layers of pathos.
"It wasn't my idea. It was the idea of [co-producer] Johan Kugelberg," explains Eitzel. "I tried to choose songs that were fun, not the most obscure, 'interesting' tracks; I wanted hits." Included is a languid, shimmering version of Andrea True's disco hit "More, More, More." If that's not comedy, then Trent Reznor is only sorta depressed.
The truth is, Eitzel's work has always been marked by subtle humor, from his publishing title ("I Failed in Life Music") to his lyrics (witness American Music Club's "All Your Jeans Were Too Tight": "I can understand liking Barbra Streisand/But I'm not sure about the soundtrack from Diva/And what was up with the tanning salon/I'm sorry I said anything about the tattoo") and his on-stage banter. (Eitzel kicked off his 2000 SXSW showcase in Austin with, "Hi, I'm Mark Eitzel, and all my songs are about jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.") Spectators at an Eitzel show are more likely to be giggling than sniffling, and Eitzel likes it that way. It's all about building rapport.

I am wondering if anyone has invested any $$ lately. We would like to invest a small amount from selling a home instead of leaving it in our checking.
We don't want anyhting over 1 1/2 yrs. to tie it up with, just would like to earn a little on it until we need it . Thanks for any and all suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You don't say how much you have; certain options will be open or closed to you depending on the amount. You also don't say how much risk you're willing to take or how long it is until you think you may need it (when you close on your next home? some undetermined rainy day?) One choice that offers a decent return without much commitment or risk is certificates of deposit (CDs). You can get them for pretty much whatever timeframe you're looking at and in pretty much any amount. There is no risk to your principal like there is with stocks or bonds. If you have a lot of time, you could check out U.S. Savings Bonds. If you have lots of money, you could consider U.S. Treasury Bonds. It's kind of hard to offer advice without additional info, but this may be enough to get you started -- or at least to figure out what you really want in an investment. |
