Upward Bound Math Science Students Selected to Attend National Conference
In celebration of the national Upward Bound program's 50th anniversary, three students from the University of Maine Upward Bound Math Science (UBMS) program were selected to attend the Council for Opportunity in Education's 33rd annual conference, "Achieving College Success through Vision and Action," and second annual student poster presentation exhibition in Washington, D.C.
Justin Chan, a 2014 graduate of Mattanawcook Academy in Lincoln, along with Ariana Alers and Chris Stewart, seniors at Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, were three of five high school students selected across the country to present their research posters. Nineteen posters were chosen out of the 50 that were submitted by both pre-college and college-level students.
Alers and Stewart traveled to Washington, D.C. in September with Kelly Ilseman, UBMS assistant director and academic curriculum coordinator. Preparing to leave for Greece for his first semester experience through Northeastern University, Chan was not able to attend, but his research poster was displayed.
In addition to presenting their posters and research at two COE receptions, Alers and Stewart also were guests at the National TRIO Achievers' awards banquet where they met TRIO Upward Bound alumnus John Quinones from the ABC show "What Would You Do?"
The students also met U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, Sen. Angus King and Sen. Susan Collins. As Michaud's guests, they toured the U.S. Capitol and sat in legislative sessions.
The students' posters were based on their six-week summer research with mentors at the UMaine UBMS program.
Chan worked with Matt Dube, a Ph.D. student in spatial information science and engineering, to complete his research on gerrymandering titled "Partitioning New England to Represent Republican Populations."
Interning in Thane Fremouw's neuropsychology research lab, Alers studied the "Cellular Mechanisms of Chemotherapy-Induced Cognitive Impairment." Her research involved testing treatments to reduce severity of post-radiation cancer treatment effects known as "chemo fog."
Stewart worked with Finley Richmond to create a biodegradable plastic in the study "Cellulose Nanofibers in the Synthesis of Bioplastics."
An additional 32 UBMS students were mentored across campus with professors, graduate students and UBMS summer staff. The students attended from Central High School in Corinth, Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Mattanawcook Academy in Lincoln, Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School in South Paris, Portland High School, Stearns High School in Millinocket, and Schenck High School in East Millinocket.
The Upward Bound Math Science Program is affiliated with the UMaine College of Education and Human Development and offers a six-week college preparatory program to first-generation college students from eight Maine high schools. The program specifically targets students who are interested in pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) majors and careers.
The Washington, D.C. trip was paid for by donations made to the Upward Bound Math Science Gift Account, as well as a scholarship from the College of Education and Human Development.
More information about the Upward Bound Math Science program is online.
Media Report on Preliminary UMaine Budget Presentation
The Associated Press, Bangor Daily News, Portland Press Herald, Maine Public Broadcasting Network, WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) reported on a budget forum held at the University of Maine. UMaine President Susan Hunter, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Jeffrey Hecker and Vice President for Administration and Finance Ryan Low presented preliminary work that has been done to create a balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year (FY16). The officials announced they must cut next year's $242 million budget by $7 million, but will not eliminate any academic programs and will try to avoid layoffs. "We really do want to minimize the impact on academic and student services," said President Hunter, adding the goal is to avoid faculty retrenchments or layoffs. The Sun Journal carried the BDN report. NECN and SFGate carried the AP report.
Maine Hunger Dialogue Meal Packing Featured on WABI
WABI (Channel 5) reported students and faculty from colleges across Maine are preparing 10,000 protein-packed meals to be donated to campus-based food pantries statewide. The meal packing is part of the two-day Maine Hunger Dialogue at the University of Maine's Wells Conference Center that aims to mobilize the power of higher education to end hunger in the state. Event organizer Barbara Murphy, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension educator, said there's a general misconception that if a college student can afford a semester at school, they can afford to eat. "One assumes if you're attending there, all is good. Not so," Murphy said. Attendees hope their collective efforts can inspire others to take action, according to the report. "No matter how small you think your effort is, it has ripple effects throughout the community and therefore throughout the state and the world," Murphy said.
Kirby Talks with Press Herald About October Ladybug Invasion
Clay Kirby, an entomologist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, spoke with the Portland Press Herald for the article, "October means season for invasion of the ladybugs." Kirby said ladybugs, which have a tendency to come inside, are benign and helpful in controlling other insects that are harmful to plants, such as aphids. If a house is overrun with the beetles, he suggests vacuuming or sweeping them up and tossing them outside. For those who don't want to harm the insect, he suggests storing the bugs in a shoebox in a garage or shed until spring.
WABI Covers 2014 Engineering Job Fair
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the 2014 Engineering Job Fair held at the University of Maine's New Balance Student Recreation Center.

Sorg Mentioned in Press Herald Article on Found Remains
Marcella Sorg, a forensic anthropologist for the state and a research professor at the University of Maine, was mentioned in a Portland Press Herald article about the discovery of eight human remains behind the Town Hall in Cornish. Officials and residents hope to identify who the bones belong to and figure out how they were left behind from a cemetery that locals believed had been moved decades ago, according to the article. Sorg, who works at the state medical examiner's office in Augusta, will examine the bones and pieces of coffins to determine the age and sex of the remains. The process, which could take months, may even help determine how the people died or whether they suffered from any diseases or injuries, the article states.

Reception Announcing Sandy and Bobby Ives Fund Oct. 19
A new fund has been established at the University of Maine Foundation in honor of the late founder of the Maine Folklife Center Edward "Sandy" Ives and his wife Bobby.
The Sandy and Bobby Ives Fund will be used to provide financial assistance to full-time UMaine students engaging in ethnography, folklore or oral history fieldwork in Maine and the Canadian Maritime Provinces. The UMaine Humanities Center director will oversee the awards to students.
A reception announcing the fund will be held 11 a.m.–noon Sunday, Oct. 19 at Buchanan Alumni House; the reception also will honor Bobby Ives.
The fund was established in 2014 with a gift from David Taylor and LeeEllen Friedland in recognition of Ives' mentorship and friendship throughout Taylor's academic experience at UMaine.
Ives was a popular UMaine English and anthropology professor from 1955–99, an internationally known folklorist and founder of the Maine Folklife Center. He was married to Bobby Ives for 57 years before his death in 2009.
Two undergraduate students who are studying folklore — Hilary Warner-Evans and Taylor Cunningham — will speak during the reception.
Warner-Evans of West Bath, Maine, is an undergraduate Honors student in anthropology and one of the first UMaine students to take the new folklore minor. Since 2012, she has volunteered at the Maine Folklife Center, where she has contributed to the center's community outreach efforts by conducting research for its Maine Song and Story Sampler on Fogler Library's Digital Commons.
Warner-Evans will present her fieldwork on songs written about the North Pond Hermit at the National Collegiate Honors Council conference in Denver this November. She also presented her folkloric research on Geoffrey Chaucer's, "The Franklin's Tale," at Plymouth State University's Medieval and Renaissance Forum last spring.
Taylor Cunningham of Massachusetts is an English major and Honors student with a minor in folklore studies. She is the coordinator of a new interdisciplinary humanities series of lectures on linguistics and culture, and has been working on the Maine Hermit Project for two years.
The Maine Hermit Project is a collaborative interdisciplinary humanities lab venture involving a team of undergraduate researchers working with Sarah Harlan-Haughey, an assistant professor in UMaine's Honors College and Department of English.
Cunningham has presented her work on greening the humanities in Honors at the National Collegiate Honors Council conference in New Orleans.
Both students are conducting research on songs and ballads written about the North Pond Hermit, as well as conducting interviews, for a book on the topic. The book — co-written by members of the Maine Hermit Project lab using the Maine Folklife Center archives, Fogler Library's Special Collections and new fieldwork — will explore different facets of Maine's interest in and valorization of hermits and outlaws, according to Harlan-Haughey.
A buffet will be offered at the reception. For more information or to request a disability accommodation, contact Joan Peters, 581.1154; firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is Kapok?
Kapok is a natural tree seed fiber from the tropical rainforests. The very important kapok tree supports entire eco-systems, helps preservation of the rainforest and provides employment for indigenous people. This tree periodically drops its large seed pods which are then gathered, opened and the fluffy silk-cotton like fiber is cleaned and used as a premium natural stuffing for pillows and cushions. By combining organic cotton and organic kapok, Evron has created a comfortable and responsible solution.
Why Organic? Cotton and the Environment
About 25 percent of the world's insecticide use and more than 10 percent of the world's pesticide goes into cotton crops. In 2003, that amounted to about 55 million pounds of pesticides being sprayed on 12.8 million acres of cotton, according to the Organic Trade Association. Some of these chemicals are considered to be the most toxic chemicals in the world. The health risks of pesticide exposure include birth defects, reproductive disorders, and weaker immune systems.

OK, I am trying to hook up 3 pole switches in two locations.
4 lights in the ceiling are all LED. Looks to me like the power comes in at the first swtch.
The first switch was already hooked up and was not removed during renovation.
I almost always get the same situation where one switch
If there is an experienced electrician out there that can recognize the problem or anyone with ideas what could be wrong - Id appreciate some help.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 4:56
The basic idea is that power comes into the first switch and connects to the screw labeled "common." From there two wires called travelers go to the second switch. Power goes out from the second switch, via the screw labeled "common" to the fixture. From what you describe it sounds like you have something amiss there. |
hanks Mike for posting. Thats the drawing that I am trying my darndest to get wired like. I am sure I have gotten this exact combination. Maybe what is a miss is my expectations? I am thinking that someone could turn the lights on/off from each entry AND that if one turns on from one switch that they can turn OFF from the other switch and then come back to the initial switch and turn lights on again?? This I cannot accomplish. Any thoughts yet? |
To check your travelers take the covers off the switches and the switch that is receiving the power, put an idiot light tester on one of the travelers and the ground. Find the one that is hot and then go to the other switch and the traveler screw in the same location on the switch should be hot. Go back to the first switch and flip it, the other traveler should now be hot, check the second switch and check the traveler screw in the same location, it should be hot. Report back. Hank |
My two idiot testers are broken so used the dummy bulb test. Looks like one traveler is not getting juice. Looking into this now. |
Hey I got it. Wires in wrong place on the first switch. THANKS GUYS - great group!!! rvsunn |

Ed Haldeman has recently become Chief Executive Officer of Freddie Mac, one of three major government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) charged with supporting U.S. residential mortgage finance. The company was placed into conservatorship by the US treasury on September 7, 2008. Conservatorship places various restrictions on Haldeman and the organization in terms of management. Haldeman's challenge is to lead Freddie Mac, build its culture, upgrade its operations and generally prepare the organization for re-emerging from conservatorship. In the background, housing prices continue to deteriorate and the company continues to lose money. In addition, political views continue to shift regarding the future regulatory and equity ownership frameworks for Freddie Mac as it emerges from this difficult period.

Good Points
Wonderful large colour screen, great sound with MP3 playback, Windows Mobile operating system.
Bad Points
Battery life, keypad, other headphones need adaptor (supplied).
General Comments
Overall the Orange SPV C550 is a good solid mobile phone with a truly wonderful screen, good stereo sound, decent camera and a large 512mb storage card for music. Supplied PC software is easy to install and use, no problems at all downloading music using Windows Media Player sync. However, there are some flaws to be aware of...Firstly, a standby time of only about 60 hours with minimal usage as opposed to claims of up to 250 in the handbook; not very impressive when compared to most phones these days. The individual keys are not flat so any serious texting is a nightmare and very frustrating; amazing it went to production like that. To use any standard headphones you need to use the supplied adaptor which seems a bit daft as they could have simply used the larger jack input. The charger socket/headphone cover flap on bottom of phone isn't removable and gets in the way when open (which is quite often if you listen to music a lot). Still, I do prefer it to the Sony Ericsson 800i Walkman phone which is truly awful.

Awake In America is a Pennsylvania-based national non-profit organization (501(c)(3)) focused on sleep and sleep hygiene, sleep-related issues, including sleep deprivation, shift work sleep disorder, insomnia, as well as sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, sleep disorders and potential health issues, restless legs syndrome, among other sleep disorders. Awake In America was incorporated on July 15, 2004.
The organization works with individuals and family members to share information about proper sleep and sleep hygiene, as well as treating sleep issues, and overcoming challenges related to therapies for sleep disorders.
Peter Tripp (June 11, 1926, in Port Chester, N.Y. – January 31, 2000 in Northridge, California) was a Top-40 countdown radio personality from the mid-1950s, whose career peaked with his 1959 record breaking 201 hour wakeathon (working on the radio non-stop without sleep to benefit the March of Dimes). For much of the stunt, he sat in a glass booth in Times Square. After a few days he began to hallucinate, and for the last 66 hours the observing scientists and doctors gave him drugs to help him stay awake. He was broadcasting for WMGM in New York City at the time. Tripp suffered psychologically, after the stunt, he began to think he was an imposter of himself, and kept that thought for some time.
His career soon suffered a massive downturn when he was involved in the payola scandal of 1960. Like several other disc jockeys (including Alan Freed) he had been playing particular records in return for gifts from record companies. Indicted only weeks after his stunt, it emerged that he had accepted $36,050 in bribes. Despite his claim that he "never took a dime from anyone", he was found guilty on a charge of commercial bribery, receiving a $500 fine and a six-month suspended sentence. Even his wakeathon record did not endure for long. Other DJs had quickly attempted to beat it (such publicity stunts being common in radio broadcasting at the time) and Dave Hunter, in Jacksonville, Florida, soon claimed success (225 hours). Six years after Tripp's record, it was smashed by high school student Randy Gardner, who lasted 11 days.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.

There's a New Underwear Line That Filters the Smell of Your Flatulence?
We've seen underwear before that claims to filter out the smell of your flatulence, but they're always bulky and the reviews say they're only sort-of effective.

It's sweater weather. Therefore, any fall fashion hunt will include the search for a warm, fuzzy and cozy sweater, or two or three!
It is a complete travesty overalls are back. I was shocked to see this on a website called style bystro.
A survey was released this week stating emphatically that the No. 1 turnoff for women on vacation is seeing men in Speedos. Apparently only Michael Phelps can get away with it. Well, I have something to say to that: SHUT YOUR FACE!
A new survey says average people are more offended by negative comments about their appearance than their race, religion or nationality! If that's true for you, then you should be aware that men make fun of over-sized sunglass frames.
The Morning Show welcomed "Project Runway" star Tim Gunn on air to talk about the premier of season 12 starting Thursday, July 18.
I read an article about vacation fashion trends or shall we say bad vacation fashion. Everyone knows socks with sandals are a no no and especially flip flops with sock a double no no. I was really shocked by some of the results of the survey by sunshine.co.uk.
I don't know about you, but I love cowboy/girl boots! When I was little I had a black pair that I wore everyday of my life until my mother threw them out. I'd wear them with dresses, my pajamas... whatever. My love for horses started as soon as I was born so I was wearing cowboy boots early on. It was cowboy boots or barefoot for me.
Uggg it's Monday the worst part was waking up at 4:30 and attempting to do my make-up. Let's face it some of us are better at applying make-up that others. I challenge you to do it at 4 in the morning.
In a recent poll, radio listeners voted Gwen Stefani the coolest mom in music -- and this stylish "running errands" ensemble reminds us why. Her jeans, blazer, sneakers and tee make her appear dressed down, but it's a deceptively a high style look, thanks to the details.
Wanna ape this outfit? Well, that's what we're here for -- because we've recreated her look for less than $250.

We use this in our four season room and have nothing but praise for it. It is all it was advertised to be and more. We have had other electric fireplaces and none come close to this quality of this one. We highly recommend it.

About Me Budget Shopper
I bought this for my wife for Christmas and it arrived early and she had it set up before I got home from work. She's not terribly technical so I am pretty sure it is very easy to set up, and she said as much. We had it in the living room until we put up the Christmas tree. For the time being, we moved it to the master bedroom and my wife loves it so much I might have to order another one for the living room! Its flames look real and it casts a neat glow over the room and provides a nice warming effect too as it heats what ever room it is in. It is a very elegant piece and the center of attention when someone comes over to visit. Everyone loves it!
Will order another!

We bought this gift for one of our sons who just bought his first home. We decided to try it out several weeks before Christmas . It heated our entire 500 square foot basement. Our son had to tear it out of my hands. We have decide to purchase another!
Just what we needed

This is our second Dimplex product and couldn't be better. We use it to heat a room that needs a heating boost. Our first one is in a 3 season room that is now a true 4 season room. The finish is very nice and it looks like a quality product. Couldn't be happier with both products. thanks
By Nina
from Waltham, MA
I recently converted my office to a den. The room is located on the porch and even though heat was added, at times it gets cold. We have a lot of windows. While at my son's I noticed that he had one and decided to order a heater for myself. I ordered the pewter fireplace and it doesn't take up too much room and does the job!!
Classy looking

Carlos Gonzalez had a monster home run, but the Giants snapped the Rockies' 5-game win streak
Giants beat the Rockies 4-2 in game 1 of series
Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer in the first inning that held up, Buster Posey added a late RBI single and the San Francisco Giants snapped the Colorado Rockies' five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Monday night.
Madison Bumgarner (2-0) won his sixth in a row against the Rockies and owns a seven-start unbeaten run in the rivalry. The left-hander began his career 0-3 against Colorado in five starts.
He struck out five and walked five in 5 2-3 innings Monday, allowing two runs and five hits.
One of those was Carlos Gonzalez's long homer to right in the third. The ball bounced off the pathway and splashed into McCovey Cove.

G&B- Life's a Happy Song :) - 3/24/2013 WP/GF PJ
Hi everyone!
I have been antsy to start a PJ for a while. I was really nervous to get really emotionally committed to a date and planning before we officially got the go ahead, especially since we were in a lottery with 2 other couples, but we found out this week we got our preferred date and time! So next March 24 at 5:00 we will be married at the Wedding Pavilion, with a reception at the Grand Floridian after. And we will be inviting 210 people.... (just a little crazy, right?) Here is the save the date! (Got the idea from the disboards, of course) (I don't know if that will be our wedding website just yet, its just a placeholder) So... Time for the intros... Me: I am 25 years old from Staten Island, NY. I am a Mechanical Engineer (and a wannabe Imagineer of course) and I have been dreaming about the Wedding Pavilion for as long as I can remember, but never took the idea seriously until about 2 months ago. This is Bobby and me, shortly after our Christmas Eve engagement. Bobby (age 28) and I met through my brother, technically. He is a lacrosse coach at the high school that brother played (although my brother graduated last year). We met randomly a little less than 3 years ago. He recognized me, (probably because of my overenthusiastic cheering at the games), and came to talk to me. I did have to get my little brother to give him my phone number to seal the deal , but the rest is history. Over the first couple of months of dating, I was amazed how many mutual friends we have. There were numerous times where we were able to pin down that we were in the same place at the same time. He is actually best friends with one of my good friends from high school's older brother. Its almost like he was always there but the timing just wasn't right yet. This is our baby, Daisy. But shes unfortunately not invited to Disney. She's a bit bigger now, she was still a puppy in that picture. I always thought doing a Disney wedding would be a silly dream (even though it was a dream I had since I ordered the planning DVD's when I was ~13 years old ). We are both from Staten Island and 98% of the invited guests are from the NY area, so I felt really bad planning something too far from home. We looked at a bunch of places around us, and every place that was within budget and could fit our 200 person head count really didn't feel like it fit our personalities. I was actually getting really down on the whole process. The entire time, I had friends and family whispering Disney Disney Disney. They all knew that was what I really wanted and they knew that DF loves it almost as much as me. So eventually we changed our mind about the location, and realized we wouldn't be happy with anything but Disney. I was surprised when the majority of the people we are inviting we're almost more excited than we were when we told them we were doing it in Disney. In retrospect, I don't know why I was as concerned as I was. For our bridal party, I have 8 Bridesmaids (two of which are Maids of Honor), and Bobby has 10 Groomsmen. But one of them is my brother, so I keep telling him hes actually a bridesmaid because we need to keep it even, lol. I have two Maids of Honor because I couldn't choose between my best friend and my sister. My sister was a little bummed at first not to have the solo spot, but she is very close with my BFF too, so she understands. (I think Bobby is going to end up doing the same thing, but that hasn't been officially announced yet.) Our bridal part is huge. We originally both said that we could do 3 people 8-10 people each, but we both figured everything would be more fun with all of our favorite people involved, so we went for it. We already have some planning done other than the location, so I'll put that in the next post.

We have a couple of things already planned (even before we got our Disney confirmation).
1. I have my dress! I thought it was just ok when I saw it online, but it was perfect when I tried it on. It was so much fun and just the right amount of princess. I did "say yes to the dress" (not the TV show, just a visit to Kleinfelds). It was amazing. The designer was having a trunk show that day so I have a sketch that he did while I was wearing my dress! The whole experience felt so special. And everyone from my eccentric god mother to my more conservative grandmother cried when I put it on, so I new it had to be the one. 2. I have my photographer! http://rootweddings.com/blog/ When I saw Roots on the disboards, I feel in love. I knew I wouldn't be able to find a photographer I liked as much, so we went for it. We are both very excited about it! They are the perfect balance of pretty pictures and silliness. We will most likely be doing an engagement photo shoot in NYC this summer, so it will be awesome to have a piece of home mixed into this process too. I am almost as excited for that as the wedding itself! (ok, maybe not, its a lot of excitement, just a different excitement) 3. I started work on my bouquet. I am making a brooch bouquet. Still sloppy and no where near done, but I have some florist friends that hopefully can help me pull this all together. We are still going back and forth about whether or not the rest of the bridesmaids will have them too, we'll have to see. Its fun to have a project to do and I am planning on getting a bunch of other projects to do. My favorite part is that its going to last forever. 4. The bridesmaids don't have dresses yet... but they have shoes! Gotta start somewhere, right? We all thought they were so cute, bling and a bow! What more could you want!? Here are some of the bridesmaid dress options: I think we'll need to try a bunch on before we know which direction to take it. Plus it'll be fun to have a dress shopping trip with my girls. 5. The current item on our to do list is estimating our room blocks right now. We are blocking out rooms in the Grand Floridian, Port Orleans Riverside, and Pop Century. Its kind of hard to judge how to find the right number for this. I am antsy to get this part done so we can finally meet our Wedding Planner! Anyone have any tips? I have a bunch of other ideas pinned on pinterest, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. Still have a lot to go, but we still have a year to pull it all together.

Haha. My bridesmaids keep teasing me about how silly the collages look. But it so fun and addicting to put them together! And its hard to tell how dresses will look together since I am trying for the mismatched look. Polyvore is fun to play around with, its like digital paper dolls.
I also stumbled across this on polyvore (not wedding, just disney related), and I'm completely addicted to looking at what she puts together. She is so creative. I figured you guys would probably appreciate it as much as I do. http://www.polyvore.com/disney_bound...ion?id=1033396 http://disneybound.tumblr.com/

After someone on the other page pointed out to me that there was a whole episode of SYTTD dedicated to that dress, I hunted it out today and watched it. I had no idea it was so popular, haha. They were definitely right though that everyone loves it for different reasons.
My dress inspiration was Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls, haha. I love that show, so I was so excited to find a pink-ish dress that I loved.

Great planning! Such a great story, sounds like the world had been trying to put you two together for some time!!
The dress is beautiful, I recognized it from SYTTD right away! I love the collages for the BM's too. It will be so fun to shop with everyone for their dress. And with those shoes, oh yeah!

Joining in!
My hopeful date is not long after yours next year so hopefully we can share a lot of the planning experiences and share ideas. And guess what, we got engaged on Christmas Eve too, how funny is that. I love your planning so far! I also love the save the date, I saw that one time before on the boards and I thought "how cute is that"! I'm struggling with my STD design right now, I have too many ideas!! Also, the room block is one I dread trying to figure out. I mean, how do you guess who will stay where when you have 100+ guests! I'm not looking forward to that part, but I am looking forward to next Thursday to finally book our date!! When you posted your wedding dress, did you have to use Photobucket? Also, did you do the collages in a design program and upload them to PB? I'm trying to find an easier way to upload photos! |

Room Block Info
Thanks guys! I love that I am able to blabber on about wedding and everyone loves it as much as I do. I think I would drive my Bridesmaid nuts if I talked about it as much as I want to.
I haven't really noticed anyone else doing it, but this might be helpful to someone so I figured I would share my room blocking. I have 210 people on the invite list with a decent amount of children and people sharing rooms. This was my original list that I estimated to start the contract process. (sorry if its too big, I was worried it would be difficult to read) Since then, my mom and my FMIL have emailed a good amount of the guests asking for an estimate of when they would be staying and where they would be staying. We have heard from about 1/3 of the group and this is where we are with the room counts now: So I guess I initially underestimated, but I was really nervous to overestimate! And we can just add on rooms if we need later on, so I am not too concerned. My planner (I had Michelle) told me to try to get it as accurate as possible as early as possible though since this will be Palm Sunday/Easter week next year, so the rooms will most likely sell out at some point. I asked and they only set aside a certain number of rooms at a "blockable" rate, so even if the hotel is not sold out, they can sell out of the rooms available at a discount. I keep seeing info in other PJ's that I forgot to mention so I think I am going to have a lot of posts coming up as I read through more and more of these!

I really don't have a focus on particular colors or one set style yet necessarily (at least I feel really unorganized with this), but I have been gathering thing I like and I think I am starting to narrow it down.
These are flowers that I like (although my bouquet is going to be a brooch bouquet like I mentioned before): I like different textures to the flowers. I guess I am having trouble pinpointing exactly why I like certain thing, so I feel like its unfocused. And here are some of my general inspiration photos: I think maybe it can be described as romantic/soft and playful/fun. I don't know. All I know is what I have officially paid for already and the we NEEEEED a candy buffet If anyone is better with words than me and can more clearly pinpoint my style, that would be really helpful

Oh Gina, I love the inspiration boards, those colors are so pretty, very elegant and romantic. And as for making decision right now, it's still early, you can change your mind a few times, right! I'm still having trouble with my colors, I feel like they are missing a darker contrast, but my Mom keeps saying it's fine with white or ivory as the accent color. I can't decide! I think once we start shopping for the bridesmaids dresses, it will all start coming together hopefully.
On the room block, is that the sheet that Disney sent you to fill out once you booked your date? And is that the discounted rates? That's very helpful though, I think I'm going to set up a sheet similar to that listing the entire wedding week to have a better idea of when people may start to come in, etc. All I've done so far is basically guess by each family who will stay where, but I haven't really narrowed it down to how many night or what days of the week. Thanks for this! Michelle is our coordinator too! She's been very helpful so far and has even suggested things to help us out that we would have never thought of. We are going down to meet her at the end of the month during our random Disney trip! It will be nice to finally put the name with a face, but then not long after that, we'll be getting a coordinator assigned. Do you have any suggestions for the week prior to booking the date, anything I should be doing? We book our date next Thursday and I'm anxious to get things done now! |

Okay, I've heard of using buckwheat, mustard, wheat and numerous other plants for a green manure crop. I've decided to use crabgrass, instead. Not by choice! I've been working out of town 3-4 days a week and the crabgrass has just about taken over some of my garden that didn't get mulched. It's been too wet to till or weed every time I've been home for the last three weeks. Frustrating! Wonder how much baled crabgrass would work for hay? |

I have more problems with Crab Grass than I do with Bermuda Grass. My onions were almost buried in Crab Grass, I pulled most of it, knocked the dirt off it and piled in in the garden. It will be tilled back into the soil when I harvest the rest of the onions. I think Crab Grass would be OK for hay, but if its too wet to till it is probably too wet to bale also. |

Oh man, that stinks! The hay I bought had crabgrass seed in it. So, I understand. |

I can normally keep it under control, but this year is an exception. At least I got to vent a little! |
The Noble Foundation, based in Ardmore, did a lot of research on using crabgrass as forage back in the 1970s and even developed an improved crabgrass they named Red River. I learned this when I did some research after seeing an ad in a magazine placed there by someone in Ardmore who was selling crabgrass seed. I was totally flabbergasted to learn that anyone would buy crabgrass seed and plant it on purpose. I'll link their crabgrass page for your reading pleasure. You don't even have to thank me for digging up this info. : ) |

The World War II Guadalcanal American Memorial is located on Skyline Drive overlooking the town of Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. It was built through the joint efforts of ABMC and the Guadalcanal-Solomon Islands Memorial Commission.
It honors those Americans and its allies who lost their lives during the Guadalcanal Campaign of World War II (August 7, 1942 to February 9, 1943). The memorial consists of a 4-foot square, 24-foot tall pylon on which is inscribed:
This memorial has been erected by the
United States of America
in humble tribute to its sons and its allies
who paid the ultimate sacrifice
for the liberation of the Solomon Islands
There are four directional walls pointing to the four major battle areas. Inscribed on these walls are a description of the battles and a listing of the U.S. and Allied ships that were lost.

No injuries were reported in the robbery.

For the past year or so, I have been using my older bread machine for the rise only and then baking in the oven.
Yesterday, I put in a store bought mix to rise and bake in the bread machine. When it started to bake, a lot of steam came up through the mesh vent and I smelled burning. So, I took the bread out and finished baking in the oven. Any thoughts on what might be wrong with it? |

Is the heating element dirty? That would account for the burning smell. |

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others," Cicero wrote. But damn it, practicing gratitude is more difficult than forgiving people right now. Did the Romans count their blessings when their city was sacked in 410? "Happy Thanksgiving — not that it is very happy," I grumbled earlier today on my morning coffee run to the only other person I know to be a registered Republican in my Northwest Washington neighborhood. He harrumphed back, and we agreed that it isn't easy to be thankful when you are terrified about the future. But of course this is just the time to practice gratitude. This is not the first fiscal cliff in history. We are more in need of gratitude right now than we were during any Thanksgiving of my life. We can't have a civil society without gratitude — and, indeed, envy, the opposite of gratitude, is one of the factors that have got us as a society in such a fix.
I'm having Thanksgiving dinner with one of my oldest friends, somebody I knew in my callow youth in New Orleans, and his wife. It will be a warm and cozy affair with delicious food and good conversation (though we will all be fearful about the state of the nation). I'd be an ingrate not to know how lucky I am as we sit around the table come Thursday (or any other day, for that matter). I will not, however, have been able to forgive the voters by then. That's going to take some work.
— Charlotte Hays is director of cultural programs at the Independent Women's Forum.
It is in the hardest times and deepest disappointments that we invariably witness and touch what is best in us. Thanksgiving around these parts is going to be a time of recovery and reflection. I live in a community and a region that was hit very hard by the recent "super-storm." That's a new term in our lexicon, and the way things go they'll probably be applying it to drizzles come April. But this one really did do a number on us, and many people's lives will never be the same.
Some are changed for the better, though. The remoteness bred by our busy lives often melted away when someone who didn't have to lent a helping hand. Kids witnessed these examples and learned that there is pride not just in community but also in being self-sufficient — in being the person who is a practical help to others because he knows how to take matters into his own hands.
Conservatives, too, are learning in defeat that self-reliance is the order of the day. I recently spent a weekend with a large group of political friends. I'll confess to a bit of dread in anticipation — I thought it would be more like a wake than a retreat. Turned out, however, that people were energized, not deflated. The sense was: "Look, no one thinks it is a good thing that Obama won. But we realize now that we can never beat back those who want to devour our liberty until we clean our own house, until we take ownership and stop taking cues from leaders who don't seem sure that liberty is worth fighting over." It's a very American spirit. Without it, the pioneers we fondly recall on Thanksgiving would never have forged the greatest nation in human history — greatest not because its people are the best, but the freest.
— Andrew C. McCarthy is author of Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy.
In the aftermath of the elections, many of us who are engaged in the struggle to promote a Culture of Life are having a hard time seeing any cause for thanksgiving. A committed anti-life administration was brought back into office, the defense of authentic marriage suffered a setback, and many commentators are suggesting that the Republican party jettison its pro-life and pro-marriage positions. On the world stage, peace seems more elusive than ever. In such an environment, can we see anything to be thankful for?
While our modern media tend to concentrate on the big picture, the reality is that a true Culture of Life is the product of a myriad of decisions made on the personal, individual level. When we look there, we see hope. We see fewer abortions taking place in America as more individual women and men choose life over death and more families support and welcome them. We see more women and men speaking out about the pain of their abortions, and the healing they've experienced through ministries like the Sisters of Life. We see more young people standing up for purity and virtue, like the Generation Life missionaries in the Archdiocese of New York. We see young adults at Pre-Cana classes choosing to get married instead of conforming to the emotional dead end of the hook-up and cohabitation mentality.
Such small steps are invisible to our media culture, but plain to see for those who look in the right place. By the grace of God and the cooperation of everyday people, a Culture of Life is being built within the ruins of our age, one heart and one life at a time. That gives us great cause for thanksgiving.
— Edward T. Mechmann is assistant director of the Family Life/Respect Life Office at the Archdiocese of New York.

This is the best stuff ever!!!!! I have very thick medium length hair and I'm constantly dying my hair. I have used everything from Paul Mitchell to deep conditioners and nothing has worked! I washed my hair with the ion repairs shampoo (the red bottle) washed and applied the reconstructor. My hair feels soft and the ends of my hair are smooth and no longer look like a frayed tooth brush!!!! Also I left the constructor in for about 15 minutes. I cannot express how much I love this stuff! I went from fried hair that I nearly went and chopped 4 inches off. To smooth shiny healthy hair. Everyone's hair is different but I highly recommend. It is a protein treatment and I didn't need a conditioner after. And the smell is amazing!!!

I started using this product about 3 years ago, since I used to color treat and iron my hair a lot and it became a frizzy, brittle mess. I got the large pump bottle and used it weekly.
As a reconstructor, it worked wonders on my hair but only after I learned two things about it:
1. This product is -not- conditioning. Using a deep conditioner after rinsing it off is a must.
2. Less is more. Using too much product leaves hair feeling oddly stiff.
I now use it monthly, since I abandoned damaging hair treatments and heat tools over a year ago. :)

I had been looking for something to bring my hair back to life after a horrible bleach job by a colorist who did not know how to do ombre. I was left with tons of breakage, incredibly dry ends and frizz galore. My hair has never been such a mess. I tried deep conditioners thinking upping my hair's moisture level would make a difference, but it didn't. I was browsing Sally's and thought I'd try one of the little one-use packets of this product. I put it on my towel-dried hair and left it in under a shower cap for about an hour. My hair was so soft afterwards. I could feel a difference from one use. I went back to Sally's and bought the full size bottle for $13. It is a HUGE bottle. I've use it once a week or so for about a month and a half and my hair has MUCH less breakage, holds styles much better, the frizz is gone and it's incredibly shiny. My hair looks healthy again. With continued use, I think this product (along with the occasional trim to get rid of the too-dead-to-fix ends) will bring my hair back to life.
I love the packaging - it's a large pump bottle. A steal at $13. The smell is a cherry almond smell, which I really enjoy. In my experience, it doesn't linger on your hair afterwards, so if that's not your fave smell, I wouldn't worry too much.
I definitely recommend this product.

I must of read each and every review not only from this website but from Sally's website as well. I have long (two inches above waist) thick Hispanic hair. I like to wear it straight so that means I struggle with the hot blow dryer then flat iron the "frizzes" get the idea? I take good care of my hair and only dye the root area of the stinky greys (fml)... so in general my hair is in good shape but for the past few months even after regular trims my hair has been feeling a bit dry and rough, I also had a Brazilian blowout about a year ago and I loved loved it, however after being dignosed with Noninvasive (in situ) breast cancer, sooooo I'm staying away from power chemicals as the Brazilian Blowout... I longed for that look though, straight sleek glam with little effort... So I had to search for an alternative and this is it!! I started with a deep clarify treatment (Suave) lol clarify shampoo ( BTW, this is the best shampoo to rid your hair of over conditioning and over doing it with styling products. Any back to this product.. I went ahead and washed my hair three times left is stiff and no thing else. Got out to the shower and straight to towel dry (DO NOT and I mean DO NOT try to comb your hair becuzz it's stiff and will break!! I gently toweled dried my hair for about 2 minutes squezzing all the water out and then I proceeded to work this product into my hair. The smell is ok nothing to rate about, the product is kinda running so I did use a lot of it. I started bottom up. Then wrapped in with a plastic hair cap and went to watch TV, about an hour later I rinsed it off for about 5 minutes and then I went ahead and blow dried by hair with no leave in or serums just to test the effectiveness of this product.
Outcome: Ta Da!! Pure Magic my hair was really soft and manageable and although I still have frizzes they are under control and not very noticeable. I think if I would of used a serum or leave in the frizzes would of been gone... Anyways I really love this product and wonder why some reviews were below expectation, I guess we all have different hair and products work good for some and for some it doesn't. Anyways for me it worked and I will try to do this once a week...

If you have dry thicker hair, I don't recommend this product. It smells gooooood! Comes out like liquid gold. But its an illusion because if you pass a horse barn during feeding don't expect not to have the animals stampede after you mistaking your hair for dinner. Yes its that bad. I think if your hair is dry, then condition condition condition. This says weak damaged hair so its probably for those with finer thin sparse sprigs not thicker dry ones like what I got on my head. I tried to go outside the box and try something different. And I will keep doing that to spice stuff up. But for this. Its a No. For those that it works for yay and all that jazz, and all keep buying it. I know for me this is a thumbs down. I will stick with Aveda products.

Love this stuff. Use it in the shower once a week for 5 minutes and it really works wonders for your hair. The smell is pleasant and a little goes a long way, would recommend this for bleached/processed hair.

*dances* Ok! I get it! I see the awesomeness that is the Ion Reconstructor. I had previously used Ion Effective Care (their moisture/protein treatment) and it had worked well for me when my hair needed the extra boost. Over the past few months I discovered that my hair (fine, 2a/2b) seems to respond well to protein. I have tried Nexxus Emergencee and Joico K Pak...the Ion Reconstructor is better.
After washing with Redken Cleansing Cream, I apply the Reconstructor generously throughout my hair, root to tips, making sure to coat each strand. I then clip up my hair for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on how much time I have), and then rinse completely. Then I squeeze out excess water and apply a protein-free (and preferably silicone-free, just because) conditioner; I usually have GVP Conditioning Balm on hand for this. Leave that in for 5-10 minutes, rinse. My hair will then dry naturally into strong, shiny, beautiful waves. Highly recommended.

Not sure about this one yet. On the plus side, I got it for free when I renewed my Sally's membership. Another plus, it smells like old school Jergen's cherry almond lotion or hand soap. One of my favorites! What is it doing for my hair though? I dunno. Leaving it rough and tangled afterwards, yep. DEFINITELY follow this one with a really moisturizing conditioner. I'll give it a few more tries...

Kanye West has a way with words. That is a fact.
Last July, Kanye West got into a heated scuffle with a photographer determined to get some closeup shots. Recently, Kanye West spoke with the lawyer of said photographer in the context of a deposition as their legal proceedings continued.
As TMZ reported, the transcript, which was full of West's wit and sarcasm, details how the photographer's lawyer, Nate Goldberg, constantly attempted to get a rise out of the hip-hop legend.
"I'm the smartest celebrity you've ever f***ing dealt with. I'm not Britney Spears." West went on to say, ""I'm in the business of trying to make dope s**t for the world. You're in the business of representing scums and trying to make as much money as long as there's this lapse in the law."
When prompted by Goldberg, Kanye went on to talk about his thoughts on how the plight of celebrities is on par with the civil rights effort. When asked if he equates the struggles of African Americans in the past with today's celebrities, Kanye responded, "Yes, 100 … I equate it to discrimination. I equate it to inequalities."

I built this as an homage to Richard Petty's drag racing days. It would have been nice to have an actual '65 body to do this with, but all I could get was a '66, so it's more of a tribute car. About the only pieces that I used from the kit were the engine block and heads, the body, and the trim. Here she is:

Bart, the body, engine, and trim pieces all came from the Hurst Hemi Under Glass kit. The hood was molded shut on that and I didn't open the hood up on this, so no under-hood shot on this one, bud. . I've now got 9 or 10 Petty cars in my collection with probably another 7 or 8 to go.
Bart, if you do end up doing the '65 Satellite, I'll be sure to check out pics - I'd love to see it
