text: Employee Handbook Revised January, 2010 About this edition • The Handbook has been reorganized, changes have been made to clarify language and sections have been added to provide more information on the resources and benefits available to University employees. • The Faculty Handbook is also undergoing a major revision and some of the sections (such as Benefits and University Policies) will appear in both handbooks. • This handbook will be on the HR website in early May. Employees are encouraged to refer to the on-line edition as it will always be the most current version. • The descriptive materials contained in this handbook are only summaries, and any discrepancies between these summaries and the terms of the actual plans, or plan documents, must be governed by the actual terms of the more detailed plans and plan documents. • Washington and Lee University reserves the right at any time to modify, revoke, suspend, terminate or change, either retroactively or prospectively, any and all terms of this handbook, plans, policies or procedures, in whole or in part. However, W&L will make every effort to notify all affected employees when such changes or modifications are made. What's So Important About a Handbook? • For the University, it's a good way to communicate information about policies, procedures and practices and helps create a sense of consistency in the administration of these. It provides information to employees about the many benefits and resources available to them. It can introduce new employees to the organization, helping them adapt more quickly to their new positions. • For employees, it's a good reference when you're seeking information about policies, procedures, practices, benefits, and resources. Beginning with this edition of the handbook, the on-line version will be updated as changes in benefits, policies, etc. occur. • For directors and supervisors, the handbook can serve as a reference guide to help you make informed decisions about practices within the department. A Summary of Substantive Changes Working at Washington and Lee • RECRUITMENT/JOB POSTINGS (PAGE 14) New language: Internal promotions of highly qualified individuals whose careers at Washington and Lee have prepared them for specific vacancies will be permitted without a search when the head of the administrative department or division identifies a current employee whose specific skills qualify him or her for the promotion. Such promotions will require the review of the Executive Director of Human Resources, the appropriate Vice President or Dean and the Vice President for Finance and Administration. • EMPLOYMENT CATEGORIES (PAGE 14) Categories are clarified based on approved annual hours for the position. For full benefits, an employee must work in an established position for at least 1,365 hours per calendar year. For partial benefits, an employee must work in an established position that has been approved for at least 1,000 hours up to 1,364 hours. Employees who work in positions approved for less than 1,000 hours per year receive only benefits required by law. • LENGTH OF SERVICE AND REEMPLOYMENT (PAGE 16) New language: If an employee has five years of previous service in a full-time or part-time benefit eligible position, leaves employment voluntarily, and returns to University employment within two years of the previous termination date, the employee will be reinstated with an adjusted date of hire reflecting the number of years of previous service. This means an employee's length of service is defined as the period of continuous employment in a continuing position beginning with the current period of work, plus any qualified previous service. Compensation • ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR EXEMPT EMPLOYEES (PAGES 20) NEW language: Occasionally, full-time exempt staff may be asked to serve in a capacity outside their normal work environment. Examples of such assignments include, but are not limited to, teaching a class, presenting workshops, consulting, serving on various committees, and/or performing duties for other University departments. Normally, these assignments are to be considered a normal part of exempt employment for which the employee is already compensated and, exempt staff will not receive additional compensation for performing such duties even when such duties are conducted during the employee's own time or outside of normal business hours. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Executive Director of Human Resources before the additional work is performed. • Added: Information about "Determining Appropriate Pay", "Starting Pay", "Supplemental Pay", Annual Salary Increases, Career Events and Corresponding Pay Adjustments, - most of which has been communicated during the rollout of the Performance Development and Compensation Program. University Policies for Faculty and Staff • EMERGENCY CLOSING (PAGES 66) The provisions that apply with regard to reporting to work and compensation were changed in January 2008. This section of the Employee Handbook has been updated to reflect those changes. • University Status's defined: Closed with Essential Employees Reporting. This status may apply when severe weather conditions or other emergencies interfere with normal operations. Classes will be canceled. Essential employees will be expected to report, unless told not to do so by a supervisor. Under certain circumstances, a limited number of non-essential employees may also be asked to report based on the type of emergency and the specific needs of the campus. A supervisor must have the approval of the appropriate Vice President or Dean before asking non-essential employees to report. Delayed Opening: This status may apply when severe weather conditions may interfere with campus safety or employee travel but conditions are expected to improve. Classes usually will be held on a published modified schedule. Essential employees will be expected to report as regularly scheduled; non-essential will be expected to report when the University opens. If conditions do not improve, a decision may later be made to close the university. Early Release: This status may apply when severe weather conditions interfere with employee travel or with normal operations after the workday has begun. Classes may or may not be cancelled, and some offices may need to continue to operate. As a result, some staff may be asked to remain or, in the case of second or third shift employees, to report to work by the supervisor. An official early release announcement and time will be communicated to all employees via the university communications channels described in this policy. Essential employees will be expected to remain until relieved or notified by their supervisors to leave. Employees must make individual decisions about whether to travel between the university and home based on local conditions. Pay Policies for each status on next page Pay Policies during a Closing, Delay or Early Release - In the event of inclement weather and the delay or closing of the University or early release of employees, the following provisions apply with regard to reporting to work and compensation. Non-Essential Employees Employees who report for work after the delayed opening or who leave after an official early release will be paid straight time for time worked and for their regularly scheduled hours for the time that the University was delayed or after an early release. Non-essential employees who are not asked to report as outlined in "University status defined" on the preceding page will receive no additional compensation if they choose to work when the University has been delayed, closed or if there is an early release. Employees who do not report to work as scheduled when there is a delay or early release will need to charge the full day to CTO (or SLR if the absence is due to illness). Employees who leave work early without an official closing or early release will need to charge that time to CTO. Alternatively, employees can make up the time within the same pay period (with supervisor's approval) or not be paid for the day. Essential Employees Because of the essential nature of their work, Student Health Center nurses, specified employees in Athletics and employees (including casual employees) in Public Safety, Dining Services, and Facilities Management are expected to report to work as close to schedule as possible or to continue to work their regular schedule, even when the University is closed, unless specifically instructed otherwise. Non-Exempt Essential Employees - The following pay provisions apply to non-exempt essential employees: - If the University closes, essential employees who work between 12 AM until 12 PM on the day of closing will be eligible for compensation for hours worked at a rate of double-time. - If there is a delayed opening, essential employees who work from 12 AM until the delayed opening of the University will be eligible for compensation for hours worked at a rate of double-time. - If there is an early closing or release, essential employees who work from the time of early closing or release until 12 AM will be eligible for compensation for hours worked at a rate of double-time. University Policies for Faculty and Staff continued • EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES (PAGE 68) New language: It is not appropriate for departments to directly hire children or other relatives of their employees. Employees' relatives should apply for employment through the Office of Human Resources. Relatives of employees will not normally be placed in the same department in which the employee works. Leaving Washington and Lee • RETIREMENT (PAGE 75) Policy change: If an employee has ten or more years of service, he/she may retire as early as age 59 1/2 . (Changed from 59 ½ for faculty and 62 for staff and administration). Other Changes … The following changes are for clarification, to formalize previously unwritten practices or to incorporate policies that have been adopted or amended since the last handbook was published. Compensation • PAYMENT WHEN WORKING A HOLIDAY (PAGES 19) New language: Part-time and casual non-exempt employees who work on a holiday will receive time-and-one-half pay. This formalizes the past practice. New language: Exempt employees who are required by their supervisor to work on a holiday may take another day off during that calendar year. • PAYMENT WHEN WORKING OVERTIME (PAGE 20) Clarification: Overtime assignments will be distributed as practicable to all non-exempt employees qualified to perform the required work. • COMPENSATORY TIME (PAGE 20) Clarification: Comp time is not permitted; however, with supervisory approval, adjustments may be made to an employee's weekly work schedule to accommodate the need for time off and/or to make up hours missed. Benefits Most changes in this category were made to include new benefits and changes that were made during annual open enrollment periods. • HEALTH INSURANCE (PAGE 27) Added: The University offers to subsidize the cost of health insurance so that no benefit-eligible employee need pay more than 10% of his/her family income for health insurance premiums. • HEALTH ADVOCATE AND THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (PAGE 29) Added information on the availability of these benefits. • LIFE INSURANCE (PAGE 29) Updated: information on life insurance benefit to "two times salary" • GROUP LONG TERM DISABILITY (PAGE 30) Updated: This benefit is taxable unless an employee chooses to pay taxes on the premium instead. • INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY BENEFIT (PAGE 34) Added information on the availability of this benefit. Benefits (continued) • LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE (PAGE 34) Added information on the availability of this benefit. • HEALTH INSURANCE AT RETIREMENT (PAGE 34) Updated to include information about benefits available through the EMERITI plan. • BENEFITS FOR PART-TIME BENEFIT ELIGIBLE FACULTY AND STAFF (PAGES 36) Change: The eligibility criteria for Health Insurance has been increased from 900 to 1,000 hours to correspond to other benefits. This change corresponds to the change in "Employment Categories" (page 14). Added: availability of Long Term Care Insurance and inclusion in the Extended Sick Leave program Paid Time Off/Leaves • COMBINED TIME OFF AND SICK LEAVE RESERVE (PAGE 38) Added information about CTO/SLR program implemented in January 2009. • BEREAVEMENT LEAVE (PAGE 39) Defined "immediate family" for purposes of this leave. • FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE (PAGE 40) Updated: Reflects recent changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act since the last edition of the Employee Handbook. The policy includes information about "Covered Service member Care" and "Qualifying Exigencies" associated with a call to active duty. • HOLIDAYS (PAGE 43) New language: "In some years (depending on the academic calendar), undergraduate commencement may occur before Memorial Day. In those years, the University will also observe Memorial day as a paid holiday." • MILITARY LEAVE (PAGE 44) New language: The University will pay the difference between the employee's regular base salary and base military pay for training and/or active duty. Alternatively, the employee may choose to use CTO for the training and receive full pay from W&L in addition to the military pay. Performance and Professional Development Programs • PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (P. 46) Included information about the performance development system being implemented currently Work/Life Programs (page 48) • New section: includes information about Dual Career Resources, Newcomers Club, Wellness Programming, and Flexible Work Schedules. Campus Resources (page 50) • This section has been expanded to include additional administrative offices and resources. Employee Relations and Communications • This section summarizes the many ways the University communicates with employees including the monthly newsletter - Campus Connections, Broadcast E-mails, Campus Notices, e2Campus, and Employee Committees. The University also provides employee resources such as the Ombuds Office and a Grievance Procedure. University Policies • BACKGROUND CHECKS (PAGE 61) NEW language: Motor vehicle license checks will be conducted on candidates applying for positions that entail the use of University vehicles or require a valid driver's license. Additional motor vehicle license checks may be performed throughout employment. For positions that require operation of a motor vehicle, checks on convictions shall include misdemeanor traffic violations. If a driving record indicates negligent driving, driving while impaired, loss of license, and/or a pattern of repeated violations, this may be deemed an indication of poor judgment or lack of behavioral control. No offer will be made to a candidate with repeated offenses. Employees whose positions require driving on University business are required to maintain an unrestricted, valid driver's license and insurance coverage as long as they are in the position necessitating this requirement. Employees must promptly report any changes in restrictions on their license or in insurance coverage to their supervisor and the Office of Human Resources. • REPORTING CONVICTIONS (PAGE 62) NEW language: University employees must notify the Office of Human Resources within five days of a conviction for any misdemeanor or felony offense, including but not limited to any drug, alcohol, or sex-related offense. Failure to report such conviction is grounds for disciplinary action. Supervisors should notify Human Resources immediately upon being informed of any such conviction. University Policies • CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY PROTECTION (PAGE 63) This section has been expanded to define "confidential information" and provide the principles that govern confidentiality at the University. • CONSENSUAL RELATIONS (PAGE 65) New policy: adopted in 2008. • PERSONNEL AND INSURANCE RECORDS (PAGE 70) Clarifies that official employee personnel files are maintained in the Office of Human Resources. Additional information on faculty may be located in the relevant Dean's Office. • UNIVERSITY POLICY ON PROHIBITED DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND RETALIATION (PAGE 71) New policy: adopted in 2009. • USE OF RECORDING (AUDIO OR VIDEO) DEVICES (PAGE 73) New section: Employees are prohibited from recording job-related conversations with other employees (including their supervisors) without the express consent of all parties to the conversation. Leaving Washington and Lee • EXIT INTERVIEW (PAGE 76) In existence since February 2007, information about the importance of Exit Interviews has been included. • REFERENCES (PAGE 76) New language: The general practice of the Office of Human Resources is to verify only dates of employment and title and not to release or verify any salary or performance information, reasons for termination, or rehire consideration without specific written authorization and release from an employee. Supervisors who are comfortable doing so may make positive work recommendations or give positive references about an employee or former employee. Supervisors who do not wish to offer reference information should direct inquiries to HR for employment verification only. Questions?

Securiport goes on to note that ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology is singularly effective in meeting these ambitious goals. "Biometric ultrasonic technology is the way to go," the company's statement affirms. "It's 99.9 percent accurate, much faster than conventional optical scanning devices, and better suited for immigration control systems. Our Integrated Immigration Control System provides exactly that—a fast, dependable, non-intrusive system, capable of dealing with increases in demand as efficiently as possible."
The purpose of the Japanese trials is to determine how accurate and effective biometric scanners can be. In the trial, passengers who agree to participate will have their photos taken and their fingerprints scanned. This information will then be compared against the biometric data stored in their passports.
The Japanese study's conclusions and ultimate recommendations will be published by the end of March, 2013.
Washington, D.C.-based company, Securiport delivers specialized services to governments across the world, focusing on airport security and immigration control through biometric scanning and data collection. The company's Integrated Immigration Control System is a comprehensive technology suite that provides secure biometric recognition of travelers at immigration checkpoints, as well as inclusion of individuals in reliable, state-of-the-art security databases. Securiport delivers a diversity of services, including immigration processing, national-ID registry, and more. The company is zealous for using top-of-the-line technology to enhance airport security and border control processes.

Sage Flower Gardens is full of flower gardens, herb gardens, and lots of fresh vegetables in season, but I specialize in Angora goats. I started out with 5 kids thirteen years ago, and have expanded to 16 goats. I sell does and wethers, well-skirted raw mohair fleece, washed locks, rovings, and yarn from the beautiful, shiny mohair fiber. Hand spinners and weavers love the fiber I produce. Also, many crafters use the beautifully-dyed locks for needle felting, doll hair, and Santa beards.
My goats thrive on 5 acres in Emmett, Idaho on lush pasture, as well as brush and tree limbs pruned from other parts of the property, and garden produce. They are very generous with their mohair, and each one has its own special personality.
Homegrown--Handspun Happy goats make healthy mohair!
I sell skirted fleeces, locks, rovings and yarn direct to fiber artists through a local spinners and weavers group and through fiber fairs. I sell goats through local and word-of-mouth advertising. In 2014, I am going to be at Snake River Fiber Fair in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Greg Olsen: Bears were 'unprofessional'
Greg Olsen is happy to be one of Cam Newton's favorite targets with the Carolina Panthers, but the tight end believes the Chicago Bears were "unprofessional" in their dealings with him that led to a trade before the season.
Olsen, known more as a pass-catching tight end than a blocker, was an odd fit in a Mike Martz offense that utilizes the position more for blocking. The Bears traded Olsen to the Panthers in July, a year after the New England Patriots were in trade talks for him. Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said during training camp that Olsen pushed for a trade then, a claim Olsen denies.
"I just felt that the way they approached it was, in my opinion, a little unprofessional," Olsen said Wednesday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "The night before the trade when they contacted me and I spoke to Jerry, we had a good healthy conversation and he laid out what they were thinking, that they were not going to invest that money in the position because of the offense and all those things that we all know. "[He said] they were going to entertain trades. I said that's fine. I get that. I said you know me I'm not one that goes out and speaks to the media. I'm not really a throw-guys-under-the-bus [kind of guy]. I respect that. I was nothing but professional. Then the day after the trade goes down he was the one saying that I was demanding [a trade in 2010]. I just thought that was a little uncalled for when all along I did nothing but play the good guy." Olsen, a first-round draft pick in 2007 who caught 41 passes for 404 yards and five touchdowns in his fourth and final season with the Bears in 2010, said he felt the organization let him down after word got out that a trade with the Patriots fell through. "Last year when they tried to trade me to New England and it all falls through I'm the guy out there biting the bullet keeping the straight face saying 'I'm happy to be here' in an offense that I knew wasn't going to use me," Olsen said. "I still went out there and played one of my best all-around seasons that I have had in the league, blocking and doing all the things they asked me to do being the team guy. "Then for them to just throw me under the bus when I never did demand a trade, I just thought that was unprofessional on their part. But at the end of the day it is what it is, and I really can honestly say I'm happy here and I'm really happy that they made that decision for my career. Obviously they are having a good season too so it's worked out for everybody."
Olsen already has 30 catches and four touchdowns this season playing with rookie star Newton, who is second in the NFL with 2,393 yards. Olsen still keeps in touch with his former Bears teammates, including running back Matt Forte, who has been in talks with the Bears about a contract extension. The Bears reportedly will use the franchise tag on Forte if they don't get a long-term deal done by February. The breakdown in the contract negotiations don't make sense to Olsen. "I think it's a little crazy that they won't reward their best player," Olsen said. "Let's be honest, especially offensively he's been pretty much the whole offense. He singlehandedly beat us. He's a great kid. He works extremely hard as we all know in working out with him in the offseason. It's not a mystery why he's having such a good season. And it's not just one season. He's been like this since he was a rookie. He's come in and carried a heavy load under two different offensive coordinators and his play has just continued to get better. "Those are the guys you want to see rewarded, the guys that do it the right way, the guys that aren't real flashy and don't really care about all the extra curricular stuff but just go out and play every week really hard. You've got to hope that they do the right thing but as we all know sometimes they make decisions that are a little crazy."

Hey man I sold 1/5th of my shares and had 500,000 in profits.
Looks like someone is out to destroy EGO. If another one comes out this stock could fall to $5.00 a share.
Some twits listened to him and some did not. You did not have to listen to him.
What do you expect from a trash stock? Be thankful the pos is still trading.

Kairo review
It may not have an interact button, but Kairo manages to avoid the semantic minefield currently separating Proteus' island from the gaming mainland. There are navigation puzzles here, switches and pressure plates, oblique clues to puzzle over and even codes to decipher. This is most assuredly a proper game, if rigid enforcement of unstable definitions is your thing, though that doesn't stop it from being an oddly contemplative and serene version of the form.
Dropping players in a stark dreamscape made up of vast, imposing structures floating in a void, there's a weirdly techno-theistic feel to Kairo's world. These sprawling chambers and monolothic towers have a cathedral-like sense of grandeur, but a distinct lack of humanity to them, as if you've stumbled into an afterlife for retired computer programs. The result is a feeling that your presence is a trespass (a sense heightened by an ominous soundtrack), twinned with a powerful desire to see more and explore. Puzzles control the pace of your progress, rather than genuinely hindering it: with the exception of a few obscure, optional challenges, most are generously signposted as you restore these weird, inert structures to life.
But while the beauty and evocative nature of Kairo's world has survived the transition from its original PC form to iOS unscathed, the controls have not. Movement is flighty and unwieldy, and in desperate need of a sidestep. Your actions aren't often time-sensitive enough for this to matter, but in a game about exploring a mysterious world, it's a pity navigation is such a challenge. But whether played on tablet or desktop, Kairo's a fascinating, haunting world.

Kalman: Bruins Positive Words Better Turn To Goals, A Win

Been Here Before: Bruins Already Focused On Game 2
The Bruins have been here before, and they're already focused on Saturday's Game 2.

Defenseman Torey Krug joined 98.5 The Sports Hub's Andy Gresh and Scott Zolak on the phone for his weekly interview to preview Bruins-Canadiens.
Bruins Vs. Canadiens: How They Stack Up
Can't wait for the Bruins and Canadiens to drop the puck? This preview should hold you over for a while.
Kalman: Dougie Hamilton, Torey Krug A Potent Left-Right Punch For Bruins' Blue Line
Two players who had little to no impact on last year's first-round series were among the best offensive players for the Bruins this time around.
Bruins Torey Krug On Game 5: 'We Need To Make Sure We Don't Go Back To Detroit'

Folks, if you've been fantasizing about being one of a few dozen guys to splatter your reproductive matter all over a supremely decadent German über-slut, you're in luck! German Goo Girls takes you inside Düsseldorf's seediest sex clubs and backroom orgies for a face-splattering tsunami of bukkake-style ejaculation parties. The women on the receiving end of these unstoppable waves of spooge work their fellas into a frenzy then simply lean back and wait for the juices to flow freely all over them. Now rendered in High Definition videos, the feature-length celebrations of carnality shown at German Goo Girls are right up there with the best (and messiest) Japanese cum-parties, only done in a uniquely European style.
Girls and Studs doesn't just showcase the undeniable talents and physical gifts of its sexy female performers, it bestows the same attention upon its men, shooting each hardcore scene in such a way that it (theoretically, at least) appeals equally to women and men both straight and gay. With some notable pornstars from the gay (male) and straight (female) worlds doing some truly excellent work here, Girls and Studs is almost brilliant enough to make you forget there's another site online that's identical in almost every respect.
Sure, you could take out egregiously large loans that'll saddle you with debt for the rest of your earthly existence just to engage in a little college-style casual sex, but would it actually result in the kinds of carnal situations seen at College Fuck Parties? I highly doubt it. Why not let these Russian students provide you with sexual entertainment and a vicariously terrific time that'll prove once and for all that college students, even with heavy workloads and the pressures school thrusts upon them, will always find a way to let loose in magnificently sexy fashion.
Visit College Fuck Parties | Read College Fuck Parties review
There comes a time in every pornstar's life when she decides to expand her, uh, horizons. Shooting her first anal scene is a monumental occasion for every girl that does it, and while the women of Por el Chiquito might be new to you but not to buttfucking, watching them take a rear-ending will surely be a moment you'll not soon forget. Somewhat scant with just 43 scenes, Por el Chiquito nevertheless presents and wild and entertaining ride.
She's blonde! She's stacked! She's 46-years-old and she loves nothing more than dropping to her knees in a sexy, skimpy negligee and coaxing every last drop from her husband's cock, letting it fall all over her face and her open mouth. She's the Internet's reigning queen of MILFs, Wifey. Featured exclusively on her very own website, Wifey's World, this stunning middle-aged beauty delivers, with her director/cameraman/co-star Hubby, some infinitely enjoyable hardcore oral and vaginal sex that'll light a fire in your libido and have you tossing not just your johnson, but $19.95 Wifey's way. If that's all it costs to live in Wifey's World for a month - and it is - consider me a lifetime resident!
When Dawn Allison started shooting racy pictures around Alberta, she never though it'd get her fired and lead to a booming career in the adult entertainment industry. But, hey, when you're a stunning, statuesque MILF brunette with amazing 32DDD funbags, perhaps it is to some degree inevitable. Dawn's Place, her official website, hosts solo tease and masturbation movies and galleries, as well as plenty of harder material that sees Dawn fuck her husband and girlfriends for her, their, and your pleasure. While she's running a little behind the times, Dawn and her official amateur website are still very much worth a look.
Peter Romero, you're my hero! Well, not quite, but you're pretty close. Running around the country with your gorgeous and sexy wife Chelsea in tow, auditioning hot young women for adult photo shoots and courting them for your video and photo site, Peter Girls...you really are living the dream. Soon, though, you'll have to wake up because people are flocking to your site and they need your attention, almost as much as your incredible roster of models needs theirs.
Trading in the porn-standard facials, pearl necklaces, and oral injections of milky white spooge for vaginal creampies, Teen Pies sees porn's most promising young starlets lean back, spread their legs, and work their pussies into a most accepting state of readiness. Fucked then filled by some studly young fellas, the Teen Pies girls let the cum seep from their snatches, rubbing it in or dipping their fingers for a taste, and let the Team Skeet crew's cameras catch it all for posterity. You'll never enjoy creampies like this is real life with anyone but your trusted steady lay - and if you do with your occasional fuck buddy, be fucking careful, dude - so why not enjoy the slightly dangerous side of orgasmic expulsions with Team Skeet's latest addition, Teen Pies.

Linen dress made using maternity pattern #127. Although the pattern suggests using a stretch fabric or wool crepe I opted to try linen since this was for Easter. Modifications made include lengthening the sleeves, changing the neckline (since there was no stretch I felt like I was choking), and I eliminated the zipper and used snaps under the decorative stitching. I also added a sewn down pleat on each side to tailor the look a bit.

The American South has long been seen as the focus of the country's Civil Rights Movement, carrying with it the stigma of poverty, racism, and anti-intellectualism. Yet the region has also produced a disproportionate number of intellectuals, poets, and writers, possibly because of the complicated and layered identities each Southerner holds within him- or herself. The South has begotten some of our nation's most important authors, including prize winners like William Styron, Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, Ralph Ellison, Harper Lee, and that titan of American letters, William Faulkner. These 50 novels are a reminder that the South cannot be defined solely by its failings; it is also responsible for shaping the minds of countless thinkers who offered to American literature essential insights about not only their region but the world at… Read More

Which Books Should We Stop Calling Classics?
Recently, at Salon, Laura Miller wondered what makes a book a classic, and who gets to say which books should be included in the conversation: do booksellers or online book communities like Goodreads get to make the call? Do critics? Should we consider David Foster Wallace's work among these classics, even though it's so recent? Does a canon even exist or matter? … Read More

The First 10 Works of Fiction You Should Read If You've Never Read a Book Before
Recently, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver told reporters that — while he has written more than 20 cookbooks — he had never read a whole book until recently, when he finished Suzanne Collins's Hunter Games sequel, Catching Fire. Oliver said, "I've never read a book in my life, which I know sounds incredibly ignorant but I'm dyslexic and I get bored easily." Fair enough. As a kind of thought experiment, Flavorwire has picked out the first ten books that an adult who is new to reading should pick up. Quibbles or further suggestions? Add them in the comments. … Read More
10 Famous Literary Characters That Are Significantly Younger Than You Think
When an author creates a character, he or she bestows upon this fictional person specific attributes — age, looks, certain proclivities — that may or may not be made explicit on the page. But whether the character is explained fully or not, there's no telling what will happen when the culture at large gets a hold of him. Especially if the notoriously age-garbling film industry gets involved. After the jump, prepare to be shocked at famous literary characters that are significantly younger than you (probably) think they are. … Read More
The Most Ridiculous Claims Used to Challenge Classic Novels
The American Library Association has released its study of the most frequently challenged books of 2012, a list that includes classics and YA touchstones alike. But books have been challenged, banned, and removed from school curricula for years, and sometimes for the silliest of reasons. At the ALA's website, we found a list of the justifications behind some historical challenges of classic novels, and some are frankly absurd. We've culled a few of our outrageous favorites from the ALA's list — scoff or agree, but read… Read More

Check out our picks after the jump, and if we've missed your favorite mentor, add them on to our list (perhaps with a choice sage missive or two) in the comments. … Read More
Books That Will Inspire You to Be a Better Person in 2013
The holiday season is traditionally a time for charity and warm fuzzy feelings, but sometimes we need a little extra inspiration. That is, a captivating read that will also make us want to be a better person — whether because of the sterling example of a character, some choice lines of world-wisdom, or something a little more nebulous. After the jump, try out ten books that will inspire your better self to make an appearance — we've veered away from self-help books of any kind, though we've allowed for a mix of fiction and non — and let us know if we missed your personal go-to good-guy read in the comments. … Read More

anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] that's transylvania, afaik it's only became part of romania recently and transylvania has a different and much longer/richer history #78 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] too bad Dacia has nothing to do with romania.... other than romania is on the same land. Romanian =/= Romans (or dacian) even if your people think that way (only romanians think that btw)(one of the many reasons italians hate romanians) romania is no less than 200-300 years old... transylvania is way older. when the so called thieves were there romanians didn't even exist. everything romania is famous for comes from transylvania (meaning it's not your achievement) romania also got transylvania for betraying it's allies in the world war (given to them by french... funny cuz your only car "dacia" is more than 99% french and it was never actually romanian but french) #177 -
bboywakear (07/20/2013) [-] Dude.. Romania was made by the Dac people who were conquered and who united with romans. So romans actually took a big part in this country. *sorry for my fail english * #102 -
scantoz (07/19/2013) [-] Also we retook Transylvania after ww1 from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. What allies are you smoking? We went into ww1 in 1916 against Germany. In 1918 After the fall of the austro-hungarian empire fell they had a vote to put Transylvania a part of Romania and the majority of the territory and people were Romanians. #116 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] oh i didn't notice this one... romania did change sides in ww2 (which is betraying it's allies) #124 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] i don't know where you got that became smaller thing. google "union with romania" seems like that you should get to know more about your own country's history #180 -
anonymous (07/20/2013) [-] i'm german. and you only lost moldova, and gained northern part of transylvania. you can't say you got smaller when you were smaller in the beginning to start with. #83 -
scantoz (07/19/2013) [-] Also the thing Transylvania is famous for is Dracula.. A Romanian Price.. Seriously.. Where do you get your information? And Italians hate us because they have nothing better to do.. They think we're all Gypsies while clinging on the Idea that Italy was once part of the Roman Empire. Where the fuck did I say Romanians=Romans? and Dacia was Bought by the French....(The Car Company) #92 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] every dacia made (even the old ones) is a copy or a low-budget of a renault car. afaik dacia only made 1 (maybe more, not so sure i just wikied this) car by itself which noone wanted. #100 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] actually.. old ones used everything from renault... well... they new ones too. Renault may pay to design cars (they don't), but every Dacia is 100% renault. (just look for renault logan for example.. or just look up dacia and see for yourself). Renault only bought Dacia because it was bankrupt and to make low budget cars #86 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] romanian language is in the latin "family"... it is pretty similar to any other latin languages (italian, spanish, etc) romanina language is pretty new, it didn't exist 2000 years ago, or even 500 years ago. it's a branch of balkan romance (balkan romance - proto romanian - romanian) #101 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] i guess you should also look up your own history that wasn't written by romanians romans were long dead when romanian became romanians (around the end of 1870's) #107 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] you said romans took over romania... which is untrue because they didn't exist when romania became a thing #109 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] well you didn't say which one... and like i said Dacia has nothing to do with Romania #111 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] actually that's what i'm studying... so yea also back to the language... branches aren't taught, they are made #114 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] yea well you can look up everything i said whether they are true or not. just try to avoid stuff written by romanians, because that's why you know shit about your own nation/country. #121 -
scantoz (07/19/2013) [-] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Transylvania_with_Romania How we got Transylvania back. The French gave us what for betraying our allies? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_the_Impaler What Transylvania is Famous for. The most patriotic of Romanians are the Maramuresi people who consider themselfs the free Dacs and are part of the northern part of Transylvania. #126 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] also when vlad lived, romania didn't even fucking existed... there is like 400 years difference... seriously? #179 -
scantoz (07/20/2013) [-] Vlad came from the part where our capital is.. Honestly.. I need you to stop being a dick head... Im just going to say one last thing. Transylvania has been under the control of many empires and the majority population were of Romanian (Im not saying Romania was formed at the time, im saying theyre Romanians because that's what we are, unless we classify ourselves as Dacs.) Austro-Hungary was in control of it recently and after the collapse of the empire the people had a vote to join the rest of Romania. Transylvania's history is ours or else please explain the millions of people who speak the Romanian language that have been located in Transylvania, Did they magically appear out of thin air? #183 -
anonymous (07/20/2013) [-] you can also check the theories. wiki only states basic theories by romanian and german and austrian but still gives an idea to see in what they differ. #181 -
anonymous (07/20/2013) [-] just because vlad came from a part that romanian's later "took over" that doesn't mean he was romanian. they spoke a version of latin, from which romanian originates. they did not speak romanian as you think of, they spoke something that is similiar to it. #88 -
anonymous (07/19/2013) [-] also romanian language can be called as an italian copy (so to speak, not exactly true, but not exactly wrong either) | ||

Last week I installed to a new workstation the 30 days trial version of the Revit Suite 2013. However, the following day due to a technical problem I had to make a format to the new pc and to re-install the windows 7 pro 64bit together with all the other programs including the Revit Suite 2013 trial. Unfortunately the Revit Suite keeps asking for activation as if the trial mode has ended without allowing us to use the subsequent days, (approximately 3 ½ weeks). Please let me know if there is a procedure which I could follow in order to be able to use the program until the end of the trial period.
Thank you in advance,
Unfortunately - once the trial is expired (or thinks it is expired) there is no way to reactivate it - that I know of.
You would need to install it on a machine that has not had Revit 2013 installed on it.

Neal Manufacturing's ESSP 550T, 750T sealcoating machines offer fast coverage, low maintenance
Amanda Bayhi | February 18, 2014
Neal Manufacturing has introduced its heavy-duty ESSP 550T and 750T trailer-mounted machines for sealcoating.
The machines feature electric super sand pump (ESSP) systems that produce as much as 100 gpm for fast coverage, as well as a water tank hand-wand holder to prevent the sealer from leaking.
The 550T has a capacity of up to 550 gallons of material, while the 750T can hold up to 750 gallons.
Each unit comes with 75 feet of reinforced hose, a 6-foot hand wand and a six-nozzle spray bar that can apply material in 16-foot passes. An additional hand wand, 87-inch spray bar or 50-gpm electrically operated hydraulic piston pump (ESP) is also available.
A V-twin, 18-horsepower Kohler Command PRO gasoline engine powers each ESSP system, which transfers up to 100 gallons of material into the tank per minute.
For low maintenance, the machines have leather cups that tightly seal the plates to prevent material from leaking. The company says users only need to flush the cups once a year, and seals can last up to 200,000 gallons.
The pumps have 2.5-gallon material fillers, as well as Neal's Generation III pump heads that deliver uninterrupted pumping power.
The trailers are built with high-gauge structural tube steel and can be towed with a standard 2 5/16-inch ball hitch or an optional pintle hitch. The trailers also have breakaway safety switches that automatically apply the brakes if the trailer is separated from the tow vehicle.
Other features include:
In-line surge tank that reduces material surging
Hydraulic agitation system with a three-blade design that ensures two blades are in the material at all times
Solid steel agitator shaft
Control panel that allows users to change speed and direction of the pump and agitator while controlling the water cleanup system
Large indicator lights
21-inch square manway, with a safety lid and sandbag splitter, that provides access to the tank
Neal Manufacturing also offers free training seminars in Anniston, Alabama for operators who want to learn how to properly operate and maintain the machines.

This is a bad picture of the area we are about to paint. The flat area is the kitchen with 8ft ceilings. The adjoining area is vaulted with beams. How do we transition (if at all) from the wall color to the ceiling? We've settled on Agreeable Gray by SW which is pretty light. Yes, this is a DIY project for this week. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you leaving the ceiling white? Is so, I would paint the vertical section the same color as the walls. ML |
Just my opinion, but following beverly27's labeling system, I would go: white, white white |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 28, 14 at 14:11
Why not paint it all a respectable color of gray or do the 50-50 cut of the gray for the area that is marked white and full gray color on the areas marked gray. |
are the drywall corners curved rather than straight? that would make painting straight lines alittle more tedious... i would probably paint everything except the beamed ceiling gray since it is so light... actually, i would probably paint it like that even if i had sharp drywall corners! |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 11:04
I agree with beverly |
I'd paint it all like Busybee says and then add some of the gray to your white paint to blend the beamed ceiling to the rest of the shade. I wouldn't chop up white in the mix. |
Yes, all bullnose edges. We're thinking about all Agreeable Gray, just don't want to feel closed in with the 8ft area. Thanks! |
