Thinner Than I hoped For The color is good but it is not what I would call "microfiber" but then again, what does that really mean? I will keep it but I am not in love with it. It fits properly and hides the ugly box-spring. Mission accomplished.

Great value...perfect bedskirt! As others have said, this is 100% Egyptian cotton and not microfiber. Egyptian cotton is my preference, so this is a great value for the price and free shipping to boot! I ordered the queen size in taupe. The color matches our IKEA duvet set perfectly and really puts the finishing touches on our bed.

Good but TOTALLY WRINKLED! The fabric is soft but light and the colors were right on as described. Unfortunately, both units I purchased were completely wrinkled and took about 1.5 hours (EACH!) to iron out. . . in the past, bedskirts I have purchased were pretty much ready to put on.

Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed.

Best Reasons to Have a California King Bed
Similar in size to a standard king bed, a California king bed is four inches longer, allowing a lot of extra room top to bottom. A California king bed measures 72 inches wide and 84 inches long, and a standard king mattress measures 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, so while a California king mattress is four inches longer, it is also about four inches thinner than a standard king bed. Making a decision between the two might be difficult. Ultimately, both are great options, but there are a few conditions that might make a California king size bed the clear choice. Before you pick which king mattress is right for you, here are a few of the best reasons to choose a California king bed.
How to Fit Queen Beds in Small Spaces
Ideal for guest rooms or additional bedrooms, queen beds measure 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. For a couple, a queen bed provides about 30 inches of space per person. Larger and more comfortable than double or full beds, queen beds occupy less space than king beds. This makes them a great choice for bedrooms with space limitations. Knowing how to select queen beds and fit them in small spaces enables you to maximize their potential and your available floor space. Look below to learn how to fit queen beds in small spaces.
Bed Skirts Oversize Duvets and Dust Ruffles
Bed skirts aren't the only way to keep dust out from under your bed and conceal the items you have stored there. You may have never given it a second thought, but dust ruffles and oversize duvets can be great substitutions for or work even better than bed skirts, depending on your circumstances. Keep reading to find out which bedding accessory is right for you.

If you're considering bed risers but are unsure as to how they work, you'll be relieved to know you can install them in minutes.
Top 5 Crib Sets for Baby Girls
The crib set you choose for your baby can highlight the theme of a nursery or even dictate it. Crib sets will typically include everything you need for the crib: sheets, pillows, quilt, bumper pad, and bedskirt. Depending on the bedding set you choose, it may also include a diaper stacker, window valance, or other nursery decorations. It's fun to pick out a theme for your nursery and just as much fun to find the best crib set for your baby. Here are the most popular ideas for baby girls.
How to Make the Most Comfortable Bed
For many people, a beautifully made bed is the antithesis of the most comfortable bed.

Soft sheets and luxurious mattress toppers that you can sink into after a long, hard day are the ultimate in comfort. Look below to learn how to make the most comfortable bed.
How to Choose a Futon Mattress
When it comes to choosing the right futon mattress for your futon, it can be a tough decision. Futons are very versatile pieces of furniture. These couches that convert into beds can be made out of everything from expensive solid hardwood to inexpensive metal. The choices for a futon mattress are as diverse as for the frames. Some futon mattresses are simply filled with pieces of cotton and wool. Others are one solid piece of foam. Still other futon mattresses contain coils just as bed mattresses do. If you're confused about finding the right one, take a look below to learn how to choose a futon mattress.
Bed Sheet Thread Count Fact Sheet
The thread count of bed sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. For example, if a square inch of fabric in a 300-thread count sheet with a standard weave were examined closely, 150 vertical threads and 150 horizontal threads would be counted, for a sum total of 300. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count is an important consideration to take when choosing a new set of sheets, but it should not be used as a sole indicator of quality. Equally important in choosing a bed sheet is the type and quality of the materials used as well as the fabric's weave.
Top 5 Platform Bed Styles
If you thought all platform beds were contemporary, then it's time to take another look. While many platform beds share a similar style, several designs are actually available. They all share one main feature: The mattress sits on a flat platform, made of either slats or a solid surface. There's no need for a box spring, making platform beds especially suited for use with a memory foam mattresses. With all of the platform bed styles available, you'll be able to find one that's perfect for your bedroom.
Best Types of Tile for Kitchen Countertops
Tile kitchen countertops are an affordable alternative to traditional solid stone units. Countertop tile can be made from many of the most popular materials, such as granite or quartz, yet costs just a fraction of the price. Tile countertops are also easy to install and repair, making them the perfect project for the DIY homeowner. Ceramic. Ceramic tile is made from natural clay that is baked to remove excess moisture. It is available in a wide variety of colors and designs that can be mixed and matched to any kitchen. Ceramic tile is affordable, easy to install and very low maintenance. It is also waterproof and able to withstand high temperatures from hot dishes. If you choose ceramic tile for your kitchen countertops, you should be aware that ceramic tile can crack or chip if heavy objects are dropped on it. To minimize grout stains, you can choose a dark grout and use a grout sealer to protect the seams from dirt. Mosaic. Mosaic tile comes in tiny 1-inch square units. It is often sold in large sheets that are attached to a mesh backer-board, making for easy and fast installation. These tiles can be mixed to create unique patterns and textures, and are very durable. One advantage of mosaic tiles is that they are colored all the way through, so a chip or crack will not be as visible as with ceramic tile. Granite. Granite tile is a natural stone product that is widely popular in kitchen decor. Tiles made from granite offer the beauty of natural stone at a fraction of the cost. Granite tiles often have a mottled surface that helps to hide dirt and fingerprints and are incredibly strong and long-lasting. Like all granite products, these tiles must be sealed after installation and at least once a year for the duration of their use. Quartz. Quartz tile is a manufactured product designed to look similar to granite while offering superior performance. It is made from crushed quartz crystals pressed together with resin. Quartz tile has a smooth and uniform surface with a consistent grain. It is slightly less expensive than granite and is much more durable and long-lasting. Unlike granite, quartz tiles do not need to be sealed. They are completely nonporous, which prevents bacteria from becoming trapped in the surface. Quartz cannot be repaired as easily as granite, however, and it offers none of the natural beauty and color variation of real stone. View All Tile Back to Guides Directory View All Tile

Tips on Buying Bedroom Comforter Sets

La Guardia Produce and Mini Market: Where Shopping is a Pleasure... Sort of
Categories: Neighborhood Joints
Photo by Ily Goyanes |
Large Guardia Produce and Mini Market carries hidden treasures. |
Shopping for produce at La Guardia is, to say the least, a bittersweet experience. Upon entering, you immediately feel as if you've stepped into a mercado somewhere in Latin America. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. People of all colors, sizes, and ages, roam the open aisles, dragging cardboard boxes into which they load their finds.
As we meandered through the aisles ourselves, we gazed in awe at how the produce was exposed without being bothered by inclement weather or pesky insects. Oddly enough, the fruits and vegetables seemed immune to the needs of Miami insects. Perhaps the owners of La Guardia have made a pact with the devil. Or la chupacabra.
But then we noticed certain, let's say, problems. A box of lemons was so spoiled that some of them were sporting trendy little mold afros. We thought that some limes had stowed away in the lemon bin, until we realized that green was not the natural color of the guilty fruit. There were other fruits and vegetables in varying stages of decay, but nothing was as bad as those lemons.
You'd think that encountering such fruit would be enough to turn us away, but after years of shopping at thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets, we've developed a hunter-gatherer approach to shopping. So, off we went in search of the wonderful bounty we had previously tasted.

During our cursory inspection of La Guardia's dry goods mini market, we found items from all over Central America, many that are not carried in major supermarkets including Sedano's. There were great imported goods such as salchichas Carmela or Coco Lopez brand coconut milk.
Overall there are definitely some finds to be had at La Guardia. Just make sure to carry some Purell. It's open Tuesday through Sunday from 7:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and closed on Mondays.

Rounded tips extend smoothly to either side to frame and protect your choice of centre diamond. Inside-edges are rounded for a comfortable fit.
Is beautiful, but the only problem is that this kind of design trap a lot of dirt between the diamond and the ring... But the design, size and finished was perfect!!!
Paul, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire – March 2012
It's a great ring. A very nice classical ring that makes the diamond the main focus. The band is thin but still prominent.
David, Edinburgh – September 2011
I was a little nervous about buying a ring without seeing it in the flesh, however when it arrived I was thrilled with the quality and the design of the ring itself, very elegant lines and shape and a stunning diamond, much better value for money than getting it from a jewellers anywhere in uk, very pleased with my choice!

Last month, I spent a beautiful and chilly afternoon at George Washington University (GWU) as a speaker on the panel, Violence against Girls: From Child Marriage to Dating Violence. The event was in honor of the 16 Days of Action against Gender Violence and I represented Girl Up and its mission to eradicate violence against girls. Joining me were panelists Ann Warner, Senior Gender and Youth Specialist for the International Center for Research on Women; Rhett Walker, the Campus Training Coordinator for Men Can Stop Rape; and Tara Pereira who is the Director of Campus Inclusion Initiatives at GWU.
Not only was the panel an outpouring of facts, figures, and statistics, but it was also a forum for people who care about the safety of girls to talk about solutions to ending gender violence. I loved hearing Ms. Warner's presentation on how ICRW is implementing educational programs for girls who are already married and Mr. Walker explaining how his organization, Men Can Stop Rape, gives young men in the Washington, D.C. area a place to talk about problems with the masculine stereotype. Ms. Pereira included what the GWU community is doing to combat gender-based violence and to ensure that the university is making the campus the safest place possible for its students.
What was my role? I spoke on what everyday people like you and me can do to help to make the world a safer place for girls. Get involved in organizations like Girl Up. Find your voice. Be confident and strong to help girls in the underdeveloped world to be confident and strong and together we can make the world safer for girls.

I know a lot of people really like tile and I do think it looks nice, but I hate cleaning the grout.
Our breezeway is all tile, and the grout that was put down is white. This is so hard to keep clean as this is our main entryway between the house and the garage.
I have tired using grout haze remover and several other grout cleaner products, but I still find myself down on my hands and knees scrubbing trying to keep it clean.
I have seen other grout that is a darker color and think this would be the way to go - especially in a room that gets so much foot traffic.

Kellie Pickler's husband puts his foot down about no more animals
June 27, 2012
Kellie Pickler, it seems, has the same issue as Miranda Lambert...she's an animal rescue addict.
Kellie tells PeoplePets.com that her habit of bringing home animals she's rescued while out on tour has gotten to the point that her husband Kyle has had to put his foot down recently.
"My husband will not let me have any more animals than we do now," she tells PEOPLE. "He never knows when the bus rolls up at home, I open the bus door, and he's wondering what critter's going to crawl off of there now."
More after the jump.....
But it sounds like Kellie's also about ready to slow down on the rescuing front due to her attachment issues.
"I love being able to take in rescue dogs, rescue animals," she says. "But the sad thing is when you get attached to them and you have to give them away."
Awww. Check out video of Kellie talking about her rescuing addiction over on PeoplePets.com.
And speaking of Kellie, she has teamed up with ConAgra foods to ensure that as few children as possible go hungry this summer.
Millions of kids spend their summer without meals. Country music artist Kellie Pickler has joined with the ConAgra Foods Foundation to help raise awareness and provide more meals for kids across the US. Join us in the fight to end child hunger by downloading or sharing the Hunger Avengers activity booklet.

Barry Minkow Has To Pay Lennar Corp. $583 Million And Serve Five Years
via LA Weekly |
Barry Minkow |
During a hearing yesterday morning, Miami federal Judge Patricia Seitz handed Barry Minkow a five-year prison term and also ordered he pay Lennar Corp. $583 million in restitution.
The 44-year-old San Diego native admitted to spreading false information in 2009 about Lennar via the Internet and contacts he knew in the FBI to tank the price of the company's stock. He even produced a YouTube video falsely accusing Lennar of committing a crime.
Minkow told federal investigators his scheme was meant to force Lennar into settling a long, messy lawsuit with the company's partner in a private golf community in California. He also conceded to using the FBI to launch an investigation against Lennar using his bogus claims.
In 1988, Minkow was convicted of 57 fraud counts after the feds discovered he was using his carpet and furniture cleaning company, ZZZZ Best, to commit rampant credit-card fraud. He spent seven years in prison and upon his release reinvented himself as a preacher and fraud detector.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Suspicious letters, containing white powder, were reported at DC schools Thursday, officials said.
WUSA9 Update: More Letters Found
During a news conference Thursday evening, DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the U.S. Postal Service and local DC authorities will screen the mail to make sure all the mail coming into the schools is safe.
"There is a series of things that are gonna go on at the postal inspector's level and at our level, the local level, to ensure the mail is safe going to all the schools," stated Lanier.
DC Fire and EMS spokesman Pete Piringer says, according to all the agencies involved in the investigation, there were 29 suspicious letters. A youth rehabilitation center also received a letter.
Officials say it's believed to be part of a pattern they are seeing across the country. None of the letters have been determined to be hazardous.
Everything has been to a laboratory for analysis, FBI officials said in a news conference 5 p.m. Thursday.
The FBI confirmed the letters received in DC have Dallas postmarks. The local FBI is part of the investigation but will not confirm any connection between the DC letters and the last letters received at Dallas-Fort Worth area schools and churches. A suspect has not been arrested in connection with those Dallas-Fort Worth area letters.

HP Technology at Work
The must-read IT business eNewsletterGo green and reduce costs
April 2012
A common misconception about environmental consciousness is that it's strictly about being a "green" company. But the truth is, it means much more than that. In addition to implementing eco-friendly strategies, business environmental responsibility is about making your business relevant for the long-run.
Taking the first step can be fairly intimidating, but resources such as HP Energy and Sustainability Management Services can help businesses reduce costs and ensure they are fulfilling the responsibilities to their customers and communities. By looking at each of your operational areas, it's possible to develop a roadmap that will set you on your way to going green.
Why is business environmental responsibility important?
In the past, environmental efforts have often been motivated by public relations in an attempt to create some good press for their business. Today, other stakeholders such as investors are also having a say. As more people recognize that environmental responsibility is an important factor in a company's economic viability, it becomes more difficult for companies to ignore the calls for change.
But it's not just investors that are concerned about your business's environmental issues. In 2010, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission informed companies about their responsibility to disclose material risks related to climate change.[1]
As external pressures continue to mount, you can expect to see more businesses increasing their sustainability efforts. When a business directs their focus on risk management as well as environmentally conscious operations, the long-term environmental responsibility of the business grows.
Getting started
- Start from the ground up—you need to know where your business is before you can figure out where you want it to go. This is probably the least fun step in the process, but it's a critical step. In order to understand where you are, you'll need to do an in-depth analysis of your business's environmental footprint—including everything from transportation habits to your energy and water use. How much trash does your business produce? Do you recycle? If so, how much? While tedious, all of these answers will help you gain a solid understanding of the current state of your business.
- Determine your best opportunities—by now you should have a clear picture of areas-of-improvement for your business. Perhaps your research uncovered a lack of recycling, which could open up an opportunity to recycle certain items that you aren't currently recycling.
- Practice makes perfect—identifying opportunities is only part of the solution. The other—and most important—part is to implement your new plan. For example, if your research uncovered high energy bills, maybe you could start migrating your data to a cloud environment like HP Colud Services, then you could monitor whether decreased server and storage usage helps your energy bills.
- Revise, revise, revise—your business's environmental needs will evolve almost as quickly as your business, so it's important that you reevaluate your goals on a regular basis to ensure they're up-to-date with your current needs.
There are easier ways to become more environmentally responsible, too. Sometimes businesses can see significant cost-savings simply by upgrading or trading in their old technology. Programs like the HP Trade-In & Save program provide businesses with the opportunity to trade in old equipment—whether it's HP or another brand—for cash back.
Another way to save money—and the environment—is by recycling and reusing printer ink cartridges. It might seem trivial, but the cost of ink can add up quickly, not to mention the damage used ink cartridges can do to the environment when not disposed of correctly. The HP Recycling & Reuse program has recovered over 2.3 billion pounds of products for reuse or recycling since it first started in 1987.
Don't be intimidated if this all seems a little daunting. With a little research, and a little help, before you know it you'll be on the right path to becoming a more environmentally responsible business.

sunsentinel – According to Fort Pierce cops, Oliver Johnson, 46, swallowed a crack pipe just prior to getting busted. An X-ray machine at the jail showed the device lodged horizontally in his stomach, reports Will Greenlee in his Off the Beat blog for TCPalm.com in Stuart. He allegedly also hid some crack in his hat. Johnson was taken to a hospital to have the pipe removed, according to the report.
Whole. Oliver Johnson swallowed his crack pipe WHOLE.
While the incident probably places him comfortably in the running for our next Crackhead Crack-Off, it's hard to grasp what Oliver's end game was here. Because — at least by my crude understanding of the human body — when you swallow a whole crack pipe you gotta expect to shit out a whole crack pipe. Which now that I think about it is actually probably better than shitting out shards of broken crack pipe.
You know what…I was wrong. Eating the crack pipe whole was the smarter move, Oliver. My bad for even questioning the thought process of a rockhead of your seniority.

New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine leagues meet with CFPB Director after hearing in Maine
Following a debt-collection field hearing in Portland, Maine, on July 10, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Richard Cordray held a separate meeting with credit union members and top-level representatives of the New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine credit union leagues on key credit union topics, including regulatory burden.
Overdraft protection plans, student loans, and mortgage rule concerns, including exemption levels and foreclosure issues, were among the top items covered during the conversation, according to Dan Egan, president of the New Hampshire Credit Union League, Massachusetts Credit Union League, and the Credit Union Association of Rhode Island.
Maine Credit Union League President/CEO John G. Murphy also emphasized the regulatory burden that credit unions face today during the meeting.
"The burden is significant, and we would like to see the agency use its authority to exempt credit unions from a number of requirements. Credit unions didn't cause the financial crises and broader exemptions would limit the burden on credit unions without undermining consumer protection," Murphy told News Now.
Credit unions are also concerned about what the agency may impose on credit unions for ongoing data collection requirements, and what plan B is for the bureau if it is determined the agency acted without due authority when it issued rules under the Dodd-Frank Act, Murphy added.
Michael L'Ecuyer, CEO of Bellwether Community Credit Union, Manchester, NH, and a member of the Credit Union National Association's Board of Directors, also asked the CFPB to take into consideration the implementation of its provisions. "It is important for the CFPB to have adequate training and clear procedures to assist examiners in conducting examinations and in providing a public road map for implementation. The meeting confirmed that the CFPB is sensitive to the volume and timing of new mortgage rules and the impact on compliance," he said.
Also participating was Association of Vermont Credit Unions President/CEO Joseph Bergeron.
CUNA Deputy General Counsel Mary Dunn noted recently that CUNA, the state leagues, and credit unions have worked diligently to pursue a number of improvements in CFPB rules, which the agency has acted upon.
Such improvements include:
- Limited liability for credit unions under the remittances rule;
- Allowing certain loans to be considered as qualified mortgages even if they don't meet all of the QM requirements;
- Delaying the effective date of the prohibition on financing of single premium insurance;
- Loss mitigation processing improvements for small servicers; and
- Avoiding licensing requirements under the mortgage loan originator rule.
Dunn added that CUNA continues to emphasize to the CFPB growing concerns about the regulatory burdens faced by credit unions and that credit unions should be exempt from a number of CFPB requirements.
The CFPB's debt-collection event featured remarks from Cordray, as well as testimony from consumer groups, industry representatives, and members of the public.

Sacred Waters Yoga at Mill Falls | ||
Join Ryan Cunningham on Friday, November 8th from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. Sacred Waters Yoga is excited to host Ryan Cunningham once again from Boston, MA. Ryan is a yoga instructor and also Yoga Teacher Training instructor at Back Bay Yoga, a stellar studio in Back Bay, Boston. Don't miss this opportunity for in-depth immersion in three separate workshops he will be presenting on Friday evening and Saturday! Register for each independently OR if registering for all three workshops receive a discount on enrollment. Excellent for continuing education for yoga instructors as well! To paraphrase Judith Lasater: "The yoga mat has become a place of challenge". While that challenge is not necessarily a bad thing, it can sometimes overwhelm the more quiet aspects of the asana practice. Because of this tendency, understanding the restorative practice is perhaps an essential part of any modern yogis study. Often times this exploration comes in a time of injury, stress or just simple exhaustion. However, understanding and experiencing the basic concepts of restorative yoga is appropriate and fun at any point along a students path. Join Ryan Cunningham for an exploration of restorative practices, and leave with some simple tricks to integrate these techniques into your everyday asana practice. Please bring an eye pillow or small hand towel with which to cover your eyes. Pre-Register by October 25th: $35 After October 25th: $45 Attend all 3 workshops with Ryan Cunningham: $125 |

If you are a transfer student or returning student who has taken college writing courses, a first-year student who tested out of English 101, or an exceptional student who earned a B or better in English 101, the Writing Proficiency Portfolio (WPP) might be an option for you. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an appointment with the WPP coordinator to discuss the possibility.
Note that if you pass the WPP, your transcript will show that you have fulfilled the second (and final) part of the University Writing Requirement (see the current UNM Catalog), which is usually met by passing English 102 with a grade of C or better. Passing the WPP establishes that you have writing skills equivalent to an English 102 level of proficiency, so you fulfill the University Writing Requirement without having to take English 102. Passing the WPP does not mean you will receive three hours of academic credit. Passing the WPP frees up three credit hours in your schedule of requirements, allowing you to take other courses more relevant for your particular interests and degree.
Writing Proficiency Portfolio Requirements
Your portfolio will include three samples of your writing that adhere to the following:
Your portfolio must also include a professional cover letter in which you complete the following:
A Successful Portfolio
The panel of English 102 instructors evaluating your portfolio will look for evidence that you have the skills taught in English 102, as outlined below:
English 102 is a course about writing analyses and arguments, so through your portfolio papers, you must demonstrate your ability to perform these types of writing.
Finding Good Courses for your Writing Samples
To gather strong writing samples, enroll in courses in which you will write. If you are interested in a course but unsure whether it will provide appropriate writing assignments, check with the instructor before the beginning of the semester. Many of the courses appropriate for the portfolio will also fulfill core requirements including the Writing and Speaking requirement.
In recent years, passing portfolios have included papers from various UNM courses, many of which fulfill core curriculum requirements (as indicated by an asterisk).

Planning Ahead
Plan ahead so you have plenty of time to prepare your portfolio. Check this website or email the WPP coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com) for portfolio submission deadlines. Determine when you need to complete your core requirements in order to move into your major college or department and submit your portfolio at least one semester in advance of that date.
Please contact CAPS for assistance as you revise your writing samples.
Submitting the Portfolio
Portfolios are evaluated twice in the Fall, twice in the Spring, and once during the Summer semester. You are strongly encouraged to submit for the first submission date of fall or spring semesters since the $120 fee (charged to your student account) covers the whole term.
To submit your portfolio, email the WPP coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com) to schedule an appointment so that you can register for the WPP and have any additional questions answered. You can submit your portfolio only to the WPP coordinator and only by appointment (please do not drop off your portfolio to the English Department front office). Email long before the submission deadline to ensure ample time to coordinate a registration and portfolio submission meeting.
Spring 2013 Submission Dates
Wednesday, February 6, 2013, by 5:00PM
Wednesday, April 3, 2013, by 5:00PM
You must have completed registration by the time you submit your portfolio.

now after 3.1 i gain charge in combat that gives my next mortal strike/slam a 100% crit chance, another 50% reduction in healing effects to =75% (50% from mortal strike + 50% form overpower during cast thing), they have removed the chance factor for overpower to proc off rend, i get an extra 10% armor pen from being in battle stance and the cooldown of my bladestorm has been reduced thanks to glyphs.

if u cant do that ur system will not be 100% fair. up to me if i was in a DKP guild id suggest that u select ur main spec and run that off DKP, if no one wants the spend DKP on it you can /roll for offspec or have a second "offspec" DKP list

Lifestyle Changes to Manage Bipolar Disorder
Most people think of ADHD as trouble, but not "Dancing With the Stars" pro Karina Smirnoff. Dancing helps her manage symptoms – and gave her a fabulous, star-studded career. But the disorder has cost her relationships too. Find out how the championship dancer copes with ADHD…
Even after practicing 14-16 hours a day, "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer Karina Smirnoff still has energy to spare. Why? She has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The developmental disorder that makes people distracted and hyperactive actually helps the dancer and aspiring actress.
"Dancing is one of the few things I can really focus on," Smirnoff says. "It's never boring, and that's very good for someone with ADHD."
Her success in the field proves it: She's a five-time U.S. National Champion, World Trophy Champion and Asian Open Champion.
When Smirnoff, 36, joined DWTS 8 years ago, her first assignment was teaching hunky heartthrob Mario Lopez. They came in second on the reality show, but first with each other: The couple fell in love and were an item for two years.
Was ADHD a factor in the breakup? Smirnoff isn't saying, but she does admit it has cost her some relationships with men. It's tough on her girlfriends too.
She found out she had the disorder four years ago, when a well-meaning friend nudged her into getting a diagnosis. So how does Smirnoff, who doesn't take medication as part of her ADHD treatment, cope as an adult with ADHD? Read on to find out.
What's it like to have ADHD?
It's hard because ADD [attention deficit disorder] and ADHD are usually thought of as something [only] kids have. Many adults are living with it, but they're either too afraid or embarrassed to go to the doctor because of the stereotypes associated with it.
What kind of stereotypes?
People think you're a problem or troublemaker because you move around a lot and have a hard time sitting still. A person with ADHD bouncing off the walls
become distracting or annoying to people around them.
If someone has ADHD but isn't diagnosed, they may be always late for work or forget to do what their boss asks them, and that can contribute to stereotypes too.
Many times a person with ADHD had trouble in school. They may have gotten bad grades, so people thought of them as dumb. But that's really not the case.
Did you have trouble in school?
Yes, I had a very hard time concentrating on homework. I would skip subjects when trying to study for a test or forget I had a homework assignment. I couldn't focus on just one thing.
Looking back, I'm sure I drove my teachers crazy.
How did you handle it?
When I was a teen, I figured out it was easier to work on homework in 15-minute intervals, then take a 5-minute break to goof off, run to the fridge or watch TV.
The best time for me to study was at night when everyone went to bed. There were no distractions then: My parents weren't talking; mom wasn't making dinner; they weren't watching the news.
Those typical household things would grab my attention from homework – literally, everything took away my attention.
Did you tell your parents you were having trouble concentrating?
No, we never talked about it. Growing up in Russia, people never gave ADD or ADHD much thought or attention.
If you were hyper or fidgety as a kid, you were just told to behave yourself.
If you didn't, they'd give you a spanking and move on. No one thought there could be a real [disorder to explain why] a kid couldn't sit still.
Were you especially active as a kid?
I was definitely very hyper. I had a lot of energy.
How did your parents manage your behavior?
My parents put me in figure skating when I was 3 years old to try and burn off energy – they tried to tire me out. After figure skating came gymnastics, ballet, piano lessons, aerobics, then ballroom dancing.
I tried a little bit of everything because my parents wanted to keep me busy so I would be tired at the end of the day and finally stop going.
Did you stop?
No, I'm sure they wished that I did.
Since your family never talked about ADHD, how did you learn you had it?
I was 14 when we came to the U.S., and not long afterward some friends said, "You seem like you have ADHD."
I thought they were crazy – that there was no way I had that. But [they were irritated because] I'd always be running all over the place and could never just hang out. I was always going a million miles an hour. Sometimes I think they would have liked to have taken out my batteries so they could get a break.
Through my teens and 20s, my friends would joke around about me being hyper or like the Energizer Bunny.
Then a few years ago, a friend had a serious talk with me and suggested I talk to my doctor and see if I have ADHD.
Were you hurt by your friend's suggestion?
No, deep down, I wanted some answers about my behavior.
It was the right time in my life. Everything just fell into place.
I got an appointment that was convenient, so I thought,
What the heck, I'll go
Are you glad you went?
I wasn't at first. I had to do a ridiculously long test to see if I have ADHD, and in the middle of it I thought,
What the heck am I doing this for?
Of course, I started to lose concentration on the test. That should have been a clue that I did really belong there.
But I did it, and after looking over my results and examining me, the doctor said I had ADHD.
How did you feel when you heard the ADHD diagnosis?
I thought,
Wow, it really is a real disorder?
I thought my friends were just making it up.
But I was freaked out that I had just been diagnosed with it. I told the doctor, "That's not good!"
Then I stopped and thought about it – and it all made sense. I realized I didn't just have a lot of energy; there was a medical reason I was so active.
What was your doctor's reaction?
He assured me that it's actually very common and nothing to worry about.
He was trying to make me feel better, because he also told me all geniuses have a degree of ADD or ADHD.
I'm still waiting for my genius to come out.
How do you stay focused when you're teaching a new partner to dance on "DWTS"?
I get very impatient because I get distracted. So to avoid getting off track, it's easier to tell my partner, "I have ADHD, and it's something I can handle."
Then I tell them, "I need you to help me, so I can help you." I tell my partners that my ADHD will help us, rather than being an obstacle.
Of course, they think I'm crazy, but I tell them I have enough energy for both of us to train 14-16 hours every day. They're usually not sure if that's a good thing, because they can't imagine being active for that long.
Are there benefits of ADHD?
Yes, we'll goof around or tell jokes and laugh, but ballroom dancing is such a demanding workout that you need a lot of energy and stamina. I think that's why it's perfect for me. I can just keep going and going. It's very rewarding.
And dancing is such a challenge, and each dance is so unique. With every dance you create a new character, dance to new music and do new steps.
Do you ever get distracted because your partner is goofing off?
When I danced with [former teen idol Aaron Carter], he was just like me. He was very easily distracted and all over the place.
That's fine if you don't have ADHD, but because I'm like that, I thought,
How are we ever going to get anything done?
But we worked together to keep each other grounded. It actually worked well.
Does ADHD affect your personal life?
I've had friends get mad at me because of my behavior. It has also interfered with my love life.
How so?
It can be very hard on a relationship, especially if you're with someone who's calm.
I try [to prevent] my ADHD from interfering, but it often does anyway. For instance, I'm always late. No matter how much time I allot myself, it never works out that I get someplace early.
I'm constantly changing the subject and running from one place to another, and I've been involved with guys who want to just hang out and relax at home. They don't understand that it's almost impossible for me to sit still and watch a movie for two straight hours.
It's also tough to go out to eat in a noisy restaurant and have a conversation. I'll get distracted and change the subject because of the noise and commotion.
Or I'll forget to do something I said I'd do. It's not on purpose; I just get distracted and forget to call a person back or run an errand.
These things are hard on someone who has never experienced ADHD or had a relationship with someone who has it. And I understand that.
So how do you smooth things over?
I apologize – a lot! Whether it's because I was late or I'm fidgeting, I always say, "I'm sorry."
I also remind the person that I'm not late on purpose or forgot to call just to irritate them. It's just part of me. But sometimes they can't take it.
Do you have any tricks to keep it from interfering?
It's getting easier the more I learn about ADHD. I've only known that I have it for a few years, so I didn't have the benefit of growing up with the diagnosis and learning coping skills at an early age.
One thing I do is write down appointments – things I said I'd do – in my calendar and put them in my phone. That way I remember I'm supposed to call someone at a specific time or do something. That has helped tremendously.
So has just knowing I have ADHD. Before, I would have completely forgotten to call someone or be someplace. Now that I know, I can remind myself.

Hi Sub,
The system failed again and continued to record "The Daily Show" all night. The Record menu again said it ended at 11:30 pm, but recording services continued until manually stopped this morning. Also, this time it correctly recorded "Mad Men" at the same time as Daily and "The Colbert Report", which immediately followed Daily on the same channel. It also correctly record the "Civil War Journal" at 7:00 am the next morning. Comskip did not run on these, probably because of the hang up.
I just realized that the failed recordings occurred at the point where I shut off the TV monitor for the night. Could there be any connection?
These recordings were all made with the original version of nPVR with no difference in reliability. So, I'm reinstalling the patch I previously used.
This is getting to be a serious reliability issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Over the last few weeks, I've been thinking about and using markup languages quite extensively. Not the markup languages that you normally associate with documentation — like HTML, XML, or even LaTeX. I've actually been doing some work with lightweight markup languages, specifically one called Markdown. My focus has been using Markdown to write articles and blog posts (including this one); you can read more about my adventures with Markdown here.

Topic oriented authoring: a visual analogy
Further to my previous post on whether or not DocBook is dead, Norm Walsh has an interesting and detailed comparison of topic-oriented and narrative style documentation. He uses a very interesting analogy: Van Gogh's painting Starry Night. You have to read the posting and see the accompanying graphics to fully grasp the analogy.
Walsh makes an interesting point in this post: writing topic-oriented documentation isn't as easy as it sounds. That's not to say that you shouldn't try it, but don't expect it to be smooth sailing or the panacea to all your documentation ills.
Is DocBook dead?
You don't hear that much about DocBook these days. It seems to have been overshadowed by that younger, more glamourous upstart named DITA. I've even heard rumblings that DocBook is dead, or at least on its last legs.
While DITA has become a cause celebre in the technical communications world, I don't think that you count DocBook out just yet.
Web screen shots, with a twist
Scott Abel has pointed out a interesting online screen shot tool. It's called Kwuot, and it enables you to not only take screen captures of a Web page, but also keeps the hyperlinks on those pages active. Yes, you can click the links in the image. And Kwuot is really easy to use.
You can read Scott Abel's writeup here.
Podcast for the week of Jan. 7, 2008
The podcast is back after a few hectic weeks away. In the next while, we hope to get back into something resembling a regular podcasting schedule.
To whet your appetite, this week we're presenting an interview that Aaron did at DocTrain West 2007 with Emma Hamer. In it, Aaron and Emma discuss content management.

Striking fear into the hearts of users everywhere

I do not see such a big deal over your name. If you created a Linkedin account, your full name and profile will be there as well. I have had full exposure due to being an academic and knock on wood I have not had a debt collection agency knocking on my door with $50K in credit card fees thanks to a fraudster.
It is not terribly smart to use your full name on a public forum, but all the same, a data thief would probably think your name Ian Erickson would be an alias anyhow. It has a nice ring to it and it is not an embarrassing name like Gaylord Van Dickwad.
Wow! Score!

Invitational Art Exhibition America Unsettled Small Sculptures and Drawings by Drake Gomez
When: Friday, January 27, 2012 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Where: Webb-Bradford Forest Rehearsal Hall Room 138, Blaisdell Hall
Friday, January 27, to Friday, February 24, KOA Art Gallery, Blaisdell Hall Gallery Talk: Friday, January 27, Noon – 12:30 p.m. Webb/Bradford Forest Rehearsal Hall (Room 138), Blaisdell Hall Opening Reception: Friday, January 27, 2012, 12:30 – 1 p.m. KOA Speer Electronics Lobby, Blaisdell Hall
The context of this exhibit is rooted in mid-20th-century suburban America, but it is emblematic of the values of American idealism, optimism and consumerism. This same environment, however, suggests both conformity and complacency, qualities at odds with the suburb as a manifestation of the American dream. However, it is from this conflict of meanings that a mythology arises, and it is this invention that provides the basis for this work. The suburban mythos is composed of low-slung ranch homes, a choir of mowers on Saturday mornings, station wagons, Slow: Children at Play, and sunburns and cigarettes without concern; it is aprons, football in the street, baseball anywhere, 8mm movies, good guys and bad guys, consumption and obsolescence. New construction is unquestionably great. The reality lies somewhere between the myth and forgetting.
