Claremont Graduate University seeks students whose academic and professional interests can benefit from our unique, transdisciplinary approach to graduate education. CGU offers admission to applicants who have the highest potential for graduate study and who, with the benefit of graduate education, are most likely to make profound contributions to their academic and professional fields through teaching, research, or professional practice. Focused exclusively on a candidate's academic potential for success, the admissions process is not influenced by race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, place of national origin, age, or handicap.
Criteria for admission include demonstrated academic achievement, personal accomplishment, professional experience and the high probability of the student's success in graduate study as assessed through a comprehensive review of their credentials submitted at the time of application.
The admissions evaluation is two-fold. First, a review of basic, standard credentials is conducted in compliance with accreditation and other higher education requirements. Second, individual schools and academic departments may consider the prior educational and professional experience of the applicant, assigning discipline-specific weight to the overall evaluation of an applicant's eligibility. Applicants are, therefore, encouraged to review their eligibility for admission with program representatives to ensure that all personal and professional credentials are thoroughly considered.
Academic departments and schools vary in their criteria. Prospective students are encouraged to discuss specific admission standards with the academic department of interest. In keeping with the philosophy of Claremont Graduate University, the admission decision is individualized and based on a wide range of information about the applicant, rather than on rigid, pre-selected criteria. The Director of Admission for the University grants official admission on the basis of faculty review and recommendation.

Trying to remember a book...
I'm trying to remember a book or at least an authors name that I read when I was a teen (I'm 46 now). It was about a boy (maybe 12 years old) who started randomly & instantly shifting into a wolflike creature. I remember on part where he was sitting in church & shifted into the creature, but shifted back so fast no one was sure of what they saw.
I think the boy was adopted (go figure), but for the life of me I can't remember anything else.
I had thought the book was titled Wereling or Wolfling, but the books I found searching those titles turned up nothing. I also had thought that Clifford Simak had written it, but no luck on that front either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mahalos (Thanks in Hawaiian),

It was titled The Wereling. If the main character was named Tom Anderson then that would be it. I can link you to the site for the trilogy too. http://www.wereling.com/home.asp
oops Not the same author though. But I would recommend this trilogy.

Following in the footsteps of friend and co-star Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis made good on her promise to attend a Marine Crops Ball in Greenville, N.C., on Friday.
The Black Swan star accompanied Sgt. Scott Moore, who invited Mila to the event through a YouTube video back in July.
"Everything went well. It was a great experience for everybody," said Marine spokesman Capt. Scott Sasser. "She's going to get a chance to learn about the Marine Corps, and we're all going to have a great time celebrating the Marine Corps' birthday."

A New York Times Notable Book
From one of our most powerful writers, a work of stunning frankness about losing a daughter.
Richly textured with memories from her own childhood and married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and daughter, Quintana Roo, this new book by Joan Didion is an intensely personal and moving account of her thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness and growing old.
As she reflects on her daughter's life and on her role as a parent, Didion grapples with the candid questions that all parents face, and contemplates her age, something she finds hard to acknowledge, much less accept. Blue Nights—the long, light evening hours that signal the summer solstice, "the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but also its warning"—like The Year of Magical Thinking before it, is an iconic book of incisive and electric honesty, haunting and profound.
Excerpted from Blue Nights by Joan Didion. Copyright © 2011 by Joan Didion. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
"Incantatory.... A beautiful condolence note to humanity about some of the painful realities of the human condition." —The Washington Post
"Heartbreaking.... A searing inquiry into loss and a melancholy mediation on mortality and time." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Joan Didion is a brilliant observer, a powerful thinker, a writer whose work has been central to the times in which she has lived. Blue Nights continues her legacy." —The Boston Globe
"Exemplary...provocative.... [Didion] comes fully to realize, and to face squarely, the dismaying fact that against life's worst onslaughts nothing avails, not even art; especially not art." —John Banville, The New York Times Book Review
"A beautiful, soaring, polyphonic eulogy.... What appears on the surface to be an elegantly, intelligently, deeply felt, precisely written story of the loss of a beloved child is actually an elegantly, intelligently, deeply felt, precisely written glimpse into the abyss, a book that forces us to understand, to admit, that there can be no preparation for tragedy, no protection from it, and so, finally, no consolation." —The New York Review of Books
"Profoundly moving.... This is first and last a meditation on mortality." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Ms. Didion has translated the sad hum of her thoughts into a profound meditation on mortality. The result aches with a wisdom that feels dreadfully earned." —The Economist
"For the great many of us who cherish Joan Didion, who can never get enough of her voice and her brilliant, fragile, endearing, pitiless persona, [Blue Nights] is a gift." —Newsday
"Exquisite.... She applies the same rigorous standards of research and meticulous observation to her own life that she expects from herself in journalism. And to get down to the art of what she does, her sense of form is as sharp as a glass-cutter's, and her sentences fold back on themselves and come out singing in a way that other writers can only wonder at and envy." —The Washington Independent Review of Books
"Ms. Didion has created something luminous amid her self-recrimination and sorrow. It's her final gift to her daughter—one that only she could give." —Wall Street Journal
"Didion's bravest work. It is a bittersweet look back at what she's lost, and an unflinching assessment of what she has left." —BookPage
"Yes, this is a book about aging and about loss. Mostly, though, it is about what one parent and child shared—and what all parents and children share, the intimacy of what bring you closer and what splits you apart." —Oprah.com
"Haunting." —Entertainment Weekly
"Breathtaking.... With harrowing honesty and mesmerizing style, Didion chronicles the tragic death of her daughter, Quintana, interwoven with memories of their happier days together and Didion's own meditations on aging." —Newsweek
"Darkly riveting.... The cumulative effect of watching her finger her recollections like beads on a rosary is unexpectedly instructive. None of us can escape death, but Blue Nights shows how Didion has, with the devastating force of her penetrating mind, learned to simply abide." —Elle
"In this supremely tender work of memory, Didion is paradoxically insistent that as long as one person is condemned to remember, there can still be pain and loss and anguish." —Christopher Hitchens, Vanity Fair
"Didion's latest memoir unflinchingly reflects on old age and the tragedy of her daughter's death."
—Best New Paperbacks, Entertainment Weekly
1. Blue Nights is a deeply elegiac, heartrending book. What are some of its most emotionally powerful moments? What makes these moments so moving?
2. Didion's style in Blue Nights is clipped, austere, emotionally restrained. What is the effect of the short sentences, short chapters, and paragraphs that often consist of a single sentence? In what ways is Didion's tone and style appropriate to her subject?
3. A number of italicized statements recur throughout Blue Nights, consisting most often of things that Quintana said—"Let me just be in the ground"; "Like when someone dies, don't dwell on it"; "After I became five, I never ever dreamed about him." What is the emotional effect of these repetitions? Why would Didion keep repeating these lines?
4. Didion writes: "My cognitive confidence seems to have vanished altogether. Even the correct stance for telling you this, the ways to describe what is happening to me, the attitude, the tone, the very words, now elude my grasp. The tone needs to be direct. I need to talk to you directly, I need to address the subject as it were, but something stops me.... Am I no longer able to talk directly?" [p. 116]. Is the tone of Blue Nights direct or indirect? Why might Didion find it difficult to be as direct as she wants to be about her subject?
5. Didion quotes Euripides: "What greater grief can there be for mortals than to see their children dead" [p. 13]. In what ways does Blue Nights bear out this truth? Of all the griefs that humans might be forced to endure why is this the most painful?
6. What kind of child was Quintana? What was most remarkable about her and most painful about her loss?
7. Thinking back to Quintana's wedding, Didion writes: "I still see from that wedding day at St. John the Divine: the bright red soles on her shoes. She was wearing Christian Louboutin shoes, pale satin with bright red soles. You saw the red soles when she kneeled at the altar" [p. 69]. What is the effect, on Didion and on the reader, of these minute but vividly remembered details? What other details seem especially poignant?
8. Didion says she knows very few people who think of themselves as having succeeded as parents, that most parents instead "recite rosaries of failures, our neglects, our derelictions and delinquencies" [p. 93]. What does Didion most regret about her relationship with Quintana? What does she see as her failures?
9. Why might Quintana have seen her mother as "frail," as needing her care, rather than the reverse? [p. 101].
10. Didion says that she had initially wanted to write a book about children but that after she started it became clear her true subject was "the failure to confront the certainties of aging, illness, death" [p. 54]. What does the book say about these essential human themes? Does Didion fail to confront them?
11. Blue Nights is filled with digressions—about movie shoots, changes in parenting styles over the past fifty years, her own work in the theatre, Sophia Loren, etc.—but keeps circling back to the death of her daughter and to her own illness and aging. Why might Didion have chosen this kind of structure, rather than a more straightforward chronological approach?
12. Didion describes her own illnesses and medical emergencies in a remarkably matter-of-fact way. Why is this understated approach more powerful than a more dramatic rendering might be?
13. What is so powerful about Didion's quandary over who to list as an emergency contact on a medical form? What reveries does this question lead to?
14. Why does Didion end the book with a series of single, short sentences? Does she achieve here the kind of emotional directness she earlier felt was beyond her?

Deer valley Ranch ColoradoFor sixty years, Deer Valley Ranch has been the perfect Colorado ranch location for family vacations and vacation packages in the majestic Colorado Mountains. Our guest ranch provides all the western activities, including horseback riding, which you have in mind when thinking of a week "out west". We are surrounded by Mt. Antero at 14,269 feet, Mt. Princeton at 14,197 feet and the beautiful backdrop of the famous Chalk Cliffs.
The Deer Valley Ranch staff and owners are committed to serving you with our hearts as well as our hands. As guests on our family dude ranch, you are more than clients; you are a part of our home. For three generations our family has welcomed families, singles, couples, and single parents to a place where all are welcome. It is the Colorado Dude Ranch experience at the finest.
Deer Valley Ranch has always been a leader in Colorado resorts in offering a variety of activities for everyone at our family ranch: adults, teens, and children. Horseback riding, hiking, fishing, river rafting and our hot springs pools are part of our vacation packages during our peak summer months. During the fall and winter seasons, guests can hike and fish and enjoy other activities on their own in our area. In addition, various groups - church, AA, youth groups and corporate - take advantage of our discounted retreat rates from the end of August to the end of May. Enjoy our beautiful Colorado ranch all year.
Horseback RidingOn your horseback ride, anticipate simple pleasures…just you and your horse, the smell of leather, the scent of pine, wading through a stream, topping a rise to gaze at a wildflower-filled meadow…it doesn't get much better than this. Enjoying mountain scenery on horseback at a Colorado Dude Ranch is as good as it gets.
HikingHere at our beautiful Colorado ranch, we are surrounded by beautiful mountain country…God's country…and we're glad to walk you through it in our Colorado hiking program. From an easy, downhill hike with majestic views up the valley to a challenging climb up a 14,000' mountain with the rest of the peaks spread out beneath you, you'll return amazed and so glad you "did it".
FishingFrom watching your child catch his or her first ever fish at our serene stocked fishing lake to serious "angling" i.e. fly-fishing on a winding bend of Chalk Creek or the Arkansas River, your Colorado fishing experience in our mountain streams, rivers and lakes will be well-taught (by us) and exceptionally enjoyed (by you).
More Outdoor Adventures and ActivitiesOther outdoor adventures while at our Colorado dude ranch include whitewater rafting – an exhilarating half day trip on the Arkansas River, a breathtaking stretch of white water, perfect for families, tennis – borrow our high altitude balls, golf – two well-groomed courses with exceptional mountain views, and special outdoor meals – don't miss our Wrangler's Breakfast, complete with music as well as eggs, bacon and grits and coffee out of a tin mug.
Sure, you can relax on the massive lodge deck or down at our hot springs pools or enjoy a massage, but get ready for a lot of action. Our fifty member staff is here to care for your lodge or cabin accommodations, prepare your meals whether dining inside or out, take you on rides and hikes, spend time with your kids and teens, and make you feel cared for in the Colorado dude ranch tradition.
As a Colorado family guest ranch, the emphasis is truly on a Colorado family vacation package, whether your family consists of a couple, a single parent and children, a couple with children or a large family reunion including Grandma and Grandpa and four generations. Singles also enjoy a Colorado vacation with us, as they soon find themselves embraced and "adopted" by the Deer Valley Ranch staff, family and guests. Owned by family, operated by family and welcoming all families, we truly are one of the finest family dude and guest ranches in Colorado.

Maimonides (Rambam)
The greatest medieval Jewish thinker, Talmudist and codifier.
This article is reprinted with permission from The Jewish Religion: A Companion, published by Oxford University Press.
Spain to Cairo
Maimonides, known, after the initial letters of his name (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, "Rabbi Moses son of Maimon") as Rambam, is generally acknowledged to be the greatest Jewish thinker, Talmudist, and codifier in the Middle Ages.
Maimonides was born in Cordoba [Spain] where his father was a dayyan, a judge. Maimonides was later proud to trace his descent from judge to judge back through many generations.
When Maimonides was thirteen years old, he left Spain together with his parents under the threat of religious persecution to wander in various places, but eventually he settled in Fostat near Cairo in Egypt. There he became the leader of the Jewish community and in 1183, by which time he had acquired skills in medicine and had practiced as a physician, he was appointed physician to Saladin's vizier (not to Saladin himself as is often thought).
He lived all his life in an Islamic society and had little knowledge of Christian life and thought. Maimonides died in Egypt, but his body was taken to be buried in the land of Israel, where his grave in Tiberias is still a place of pilgrimage.
His (Often Controversial) Work, in Brief
For a lengthy period, Maimonides was supported by his brother David, a dealer in precious stones, but when David perished at sea, Maimonides earned his living as a physician. He thus was able to spend years in close study of the traditional sources of Judaism, of which he had an amazing knowledge, as well as Greek philosophy in its Arabic garb. He had no other languages other than Arabic and, of course, Hebrew and Aramaic.
Maimonides in his lifetime met with a degree of opposition on account of some of his views, but the great divide between the Maimonists, who favored the study of philosophy, and the anti-Maimonists, opposed to this study, did not come about until after his death. Followers of the sage hailed him as a great thinker who demonstrated that Greek philosophy is compatible with Jewish teaching. His opponents thought his ideas dangerous to Jewish faith. Maimonides became the inspiration for Jewish throughout the ages who wished to have a faith based on reason. Among non-Jewish authors, he influenced Aquinas and Islamic theologians.
Maimonides was a prolific author. Among his published works are: letters, responsa, medical treatises, and works on Halakha [Jewish law]. But his three major works are: his commentary to the Mishnah [a third century collection of legal rulings and opinions], compiled in his youth; his gigantic code of law, the Mishnah Torah, compiled in his middle age; and his best known work among non-Halakhists, the Guide of the Perplexed, compiled in his old age. There is an astonishing consistency about Maimonides: the words of his old age depart hardly at all from his youthful works. Medieval authors rarely changed their minds--a pity, perhaps.

I bought this to replace one that I built that was lower to the ground. and After four years of use out the other one I found this one online. I am hoping I get the same results from this one as I had from my old one with less bending over.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Came Partially Assembled
- Easy to assemble
- Outstanding materials
- Shorter Than Wanted
Best Uses
The kit arrived well packed, with good instructions on how to assemble. To maintain the appearance of the wood, it needs to be coated on the outside. The legs were shorter than I wished, so I built a frame out of 2" x 6" and installed and leveled that in our lawn. It serves as a wall to cut grass to, and also supports the legs a few inches above the turf. The result is a steady, level structure for stability and long term use.
I was a little concerned that the 8 foot free span of this garden would sag under the load of soil inside, but after 1 month, it shows no sign of sagging.
All in all, well worth the money, great looking, quick install. As advertised.

- Usefulness

Best Uses
- Raised Gardening
The information says that you can put it together without power tools. I would doubt it. We began with a screwdriver and quickly gave in to using a power drill. The wood of one of the long sides was split, but not so noticeably that it was worth the trouble of sending it back. The planks that fit in the bottom, did not fit, and so we had to take one to a friend to saw it down by about 2". All that said, now that it is put together, it looks great and has a great amount of space for plants.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Arrived quickly
- Looks Very Nice Sturdy
- Delivered Right In Front
- Heavybig Boxes
- Very difficult to move
Best Uses
The very heavy boxes were dumped right in front of my front door; you couldn't go in & out and it was several days before I could get help with moving them. Be sure to specify where you want the boxes put upon delivery. I am curious to see how this cedar holds up; it looks nice but seems a little thin. Id like to order 2 more but will wait to see how these work out. I'm also going to try to raise them a little higher (maybe put cinder blocks under legs?): I'm tall and I have to bend over too much as they are now.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
This raised bed planter arrived in great condition, we weren't missing any parts out of the boxes.
As other good folks have said in these reviews, the drill holes don't match up which makes putting this together a bit of a bear. My husband assembled this himself and did a great job despite the drill hole issues.
Of course as soon as it was built we noticed quite a few chipmunks making their way to our deck, so then my husband built what we're calling a "screen house" to go over the raised bed planter. I honestly think Gardeners would do well to sell something similar to our contraption for other people who have critters visiting their gardens.

I have five 12" raised beds in my garden. i loved them once. now that i got this elevated bed, i am in love. easy to tend to because you don't have to bend down. easy to add soil and amendments because the bed is large but long, not wide so you can access it from any angle . I put potting soil along with a growing medium (soil less potting mix) and compost inside. tossed my kale, spinach, lettuce, and mesculin mix seeds in and 7-10 days i had lots of germinating plants. cant wait for harvest time late october/early november.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Perfect size and height
Best Uses
- Veggies And Herbs
Just moved to Florida. Planning to plant in September. I am not sure about the soil here compared to Connecticut. The elevated bed will be perfect. I can make sure everything is organic. Did have a little trouble lining up some of the holes when assembling the planter. Over all, it was pretty easy. The look is fantastic. Can't wait to get started gardening.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- No Bending Or Kneeling
Best Uses
We used the calculations through the catalog to purchase soil to fill the beds which worked out well. The height is perfect. We did not purchase the drip lines for watering, so we have to water frequently. Harvesting is easy.
- Was this a gift?:

- Arrived quickly
- Looks great when finished
- poor workmanship
- Workmanship Shoddy
Best Uses

Shipping and and receiving great. Directions not very specific.
Lining up the screws and the holes in the metal was VERY difficult.
We had to use a power drill and set the holes prior to putting things together because things didn't line up at all.
Screws were poor quality and would not drill into the metal without resetting the holes.
Finished product looks great and we are happy with our finished product.

fleafounder Admin May 17 '75
We released a new feature today that allows waiver claims to be resolved using a blind bid auction instead of (often rank-based) priority.
How it works
In the past claims for the same player were awarded to the team with the best waiver position.
Now you can use a blind-bid auction system. Here, players are awarded to the team that submits the highest bid (if there is a tie, the player will be awarded to the team with the worst rank). Each time one of your claims is processed, the bid amount will be deducted from your remaining budget.
How to set it up
Edit your league's waiver claim options and select the initial budget for each team (also editable on a team-by-team basis throughout the year).
You can manage your claims as usual on your team's waiver claims page.
How to test it out
If you are curious as to how this works or you want to help test this for football, create a baseball league. The waiver options are exactly the same as in football.
Let us know if there are any problems or if you have any suggestions.
svenex May 18 '75
"(also editable on a team-by-team basis throughout the year)"
where I can do this? How can i adjust the remainig budget on a weekly basis and different from team to team?
fleafounder Admin May 18 '75
Commish options (available after draft). If you use priority waivers you can also edit those any time.

Can someone tell me which mode out of ECB and CBC is better, and how to decide which mode to use? Are there any other modes which are better?
The really simple explanation for the difference between the two is this:
The advantages of CBC over ECB are many – with ECB, assuming many things, you could manage a partial decryption and easily fill in the blanks, for example if extracting data from an encrypted hard disk. With CBC, if you are missing a few blocks in the sequence encryption becomes impossible. However, there is one downside to CBC – ECB naturally supports operation in parallel since each block can be encrypted independently of the next. However, with CBC this is harder, since you have to wait on each block. (You can still parallelize decryption, though.)
CBC itself can also be considered vulnerable in certain situations, specifically the use of predictable IVs and unauthenticated decryption can allow you to guess plaintexts as explained in this answer and in more detail here.
The IV problem is resolved by using unpredictable (cryptographically random) IVs. The authentication problem is traditionally resolved using message authentication codes - however, implementation of these is not perfect. Dedicated modes have been invented which tackle the issue of authentication too, for example EAX and Galois Counter Mode.
Other modes exist to deal with specific scenarios, e.g.:
The key point to take away is that each mode has a number of merits and implementation concerns and these must be weighed up carefully (and correctly implemented). And, where possible, avoid ECB.
ECB and CBC are only about encryption. Most situations which call for encryption also need, at some point, integrity checks (ignoring the threat of active attackers is a common mistake). There are combined modes which do encryption and integrity simultaneously; see EAX and GCM (see also OCB, but this one has a few lingering patent issues; assuming that software patents apply at all to your situation -- a non-trivial question --, then there are some explicit licenses).
ECB is not secure, it leaks information. CBC is better. But if you need random access to your file Use CTR mode.
For more information about Block cipher modes of operation see the Wikipedia article.
Never use ECB! It is insecure.
I recommend an authenticated encryption mode, like EAX or GCM. If you can't use authenticated encryption, use CBC or CTR mode encryption, and then apply a MAC (e.g., AES-CMAC or SHA1-HMAC) to the resulting ciphertext.

Insurance Is Affordable
The Affordable Care Act has made it easier to get coverage, especially for people who could not afford or get it before. Coverage can be through your employer, or you may buy from an insurance company or agent, or on the Health Insurance Marketplace. If you qualify, you may be able to get coverage through a government program like Medicaid or Medicare.
Most people need to have health insurance or pay a penalty. But the good news is you may be able to get help paying for it through one or both of these options:
- Premium tax credit — A credit that lowers your monthly premium.
- Cost sharing assistance — A discount that lowers the amount you pay for your deductible, coinsurance and copayments.
Learn more about health care costs
When you shop for health insurance, you'll be able to see if you can get one of these cost savings options.

- Choose the right plan — Choose a plan that covers services you'll use often, even if it means a higher premium because it may save you money in the long run.
- Know your plan — All plans are different. Take the time to know what is and isn't covered.
- Stay in your network — Health plans like HMOs and PPOs use a select group of doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals called provider networks. Choose doctors in your network to avoid paying higher out-of-network costs
- Prescriptions — If you have prescription drug coverage, know the details of your plan. In some cases you can save on health care costs by going to certain pharmacies or by using mail order pharmacy services. Also, check to see if there's a generic version of your medicine.
- Use your member perks — Look for member discounts on things like gym memberships and vision services. Check to see if there are special incentive programs for quitting smoking, losing weight, exercising and more.
- Stay Healthy — Do your best to eat right, exercise and get regular health screenings. Encourage all family members to live a healthy lifestyle too.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Quorum 70443-8, Nikko Studio White Flush Mount 44" Ceiling Fan with Light & Wall Control:
I did not install this fan so I can't comment on whether it was easy to install or not. This was one of the finishing touches on a kitchen /family room renovation. The look of the fan is clean and crisp. It is very close to the ceiling (< 11 inches) and this is what we wanted. The controls are compact and very easy to use. Three fan speeds and reverse! The light, while small, is bright when fully illuminated.It has a one touch dimmer which is nice too.This beats ANYTHING you could find in any big box store.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect styling but minor design flaws.
By Pretty Handy Guy
from Virginia
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Needed a ceiling fan that was very low profile. This was the lowest I could find - full 2+ inches lower than any other, including ones without a light. Wanted contemporary styling and all white. This has both. Perfect styling. Fan blade arms mount just a smidge too close to motor housing so that there was a scraping sound. I was able to add felt as a spacer to where the arms bolted on and stopped the noise. The motor has a low hum. Not overwhelming but definitely noticeable in a silent room. Not noticeable if you are watching TV, listening to music, etc. Broke a set screw on light housing during install. The screw just wouldn't turn. Hold OK with only two screws but bad design. Not sure if I can get a replacement housing.

Perfect for our small livingroom
By Selena
from Cambridge, MA
We were looking for a low profile fan with light that's not ugly, intrusive, or noisy for a small livingroom. This one fit the bill, and bonus is that it moves the air (3 speeds) gently so that it doesn't dry your eyes out. The control panel is also ery nice, and installation was quite straightforward. Perfect for our needs!

Great flush mount ceiling fan!
By AZ girl in FL
from South Florida
Our guest room has a typical 8 foot ceiling. The way it is laid out, people walk right under the fan (it is not over the trundle bed), so we needed a flush mount fan. This one works great! It is a nice neutral design, so it doesn't detract from the decor. The light is on a dimmer which goes all the way down to a night light level of brightness. It doesn't get real bright when turned all the way up - certainly bright enough to dress and read, but not really bright enough to do things like cross stitch or put on makeup. Not really a big deal, but a minor draw back.

One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill's backers say that was a mistake.
Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
You could argue that Ceaușescu fell because the army and police turned their guns against him.

Senate Bill 126 will destroy auto dealers
Thursday, April 25, 2013
Those contracts, however, play a valuable role in the marketplace, as they ensure both parties can be counted on to fulfill corporate commitments. In saying auto dealers no longer are required to hold up their end of the bargain, the government would vastly expand its power, allowing politics to override free-market principles and tilt policies in favor of one segment of an industry over the other. Such policymaking will lead to increased government involvement in the business process, the prioritization of litigation, and ultimately higher prices for products sold by the auto industry — all of which will contribute to rising prices for automobiles that consumers will be forced to absorb.
The increased cost hurdles threatened by this strained relationship may encourage many manufacturers and dealers to withdraw from using certain popular incentive programs to avoid the added economic costs of inevitable litigation — driving up the cost of purchase for the consumer. Of course, by diminishing such incentive programs and driving up prices for vehicles and repairs at New Hampshire dealerships, it won't be long before New Hampshirites will head to bordering states to buy their cars and avoid the added costs for repairs and production. Why would you pay a premium in New Hampshire when a short drive to a Massachusetts, Vermont or Maine dealership will offer you a better deal?
What New Hampshire needs is legislation that recognizes manufacturers and dealers as partners and creates pro-business advantages that are based on free-market principles. We must continue New Hampshire's "Live Free or Die" tradition, rather than allowing the state to pick winners and losers among manufacturers and dealerships.

everything looks so delicious :)
i am amused by the fried rice that's in a heart shape.
the braise pork's looking good too! but only a bit for me, i will just nibble a tidy bit of it. :-P
Can we quote your name and get a discount?? I've not been to this Ding Dai Foong before, not even in Queensbay.
Ohhh again? I couldn't resist those…
How do we make #6 & #7?
great pictures! good work. everything looks yummy!!
Cool project!
The Mango cheese looks rather grainy tho. Scallop Nest looks kinda weird with the banana leaf back there.
But love the rest of the pictures. Nice composition and shots!
I'll say it's a job well done! Did they let you eat the dimsum after the shoot? ;p
That vinegar pork ribs looks so tasty! Nice composition on the pics. Too bad about the lack of lighting. Could you have used a bounce flash?
Hi. I have been reading you blog for ages and really love it. I live in Australia…love Malaysian food…and find it great to see such food from the source.
I have been trying to understand the technique to cook Asian style Red Vinegar Ribs for so long. It is very hard to find authentic Asian recipes on the Web. Is there any chance of sharing such a recipe?
those are brilliant pics as there r..whether sunlight or no sunlight..
Hi there, paying a visit to your blog, those picture sure look professional
wow! your photos are fab! lovely site you have here (still going through all your recipes etc..heehee). thanks for dropping a comment on mine…i've just updated again on Mizi Bistro.. :)
Love the food porn! Can I come and learn in your kitchen?
the braised pork belly is calling my name.
Great looking photos Bee! Must be good eating too!
I went to Penang, it was so amazing! everytime you speak about this town, i remember my trip to Asia…ah. anyway, i have not seen such nice thing when I was…you should be with us ;-) cheers
Those are some fantastic food macros !!! gr8 photography. I love radish cakes …they look superb stir fried and even the shrimp and mango balls intrigue me. Never had those before.
Well done Rasa …!
i want to chomp on your food pictures. :D they look very delish.
Wow – great shots!!!
With your professional shots, can't tell whether it's raining or not lah! :)
I'm actually a regular at your blog as I love your wonderful pics and recipes! I just knew about the new Shanghai Ding at New World Park. Looking forward to try the durian pancake I saw on their flyer menu ;)
K & S – thanks for your sweet comment, as always. :)
KM – hehe, I was intrigued by the heart-shaped fried rice, too. It was very cute, and called QQ fried rice. Yeah, the braised pork stomach was very good.
New Kid on the Blog – yes, you can ask for the boss and tell him or her that you are a friend of Rasa Malaysia and ask for the special one-time VIP discount. :)
Andaliman – I couldn't resist either. ;)
S – Unfortunately I don't know how to make them…sorry.
Christine – thanks. :)
MyF – yes, it was raining so some shots were pixelated and I didn't bring any lighting tool with me because I was traveling…I actually like the banana leave as the background…it perks it up…I have one without the banana leaves and it was kinda boring.
Mandy – thanks. I did…that's the great perk about doing food photography…I get to eat all the food, wahahahah.
Nate 2.0 – I didn't bring my lighting gear…oh well. I think they still turned out quite good.
Andrew – thanks for your comment and kind word. I do have the recipe, but will have to get to it. If you can't wait, send me an email and I shall share it with you. :)
Joe – you are too nice. Thanks for your comment. :)
Snapshots – thanks and welcome to Rasa Malaysia. See you back soon.
Lingzie – thanks for your comment…I love your site too, full of great guides of Penang food. Good job!
Cynthia – how about you give me a ticket and I will fly to Barbados and "teach" you in your kitchen? I want to go to Barbados. ;)
Lyrical Lemongrass – correct…calling my name, too. LOL!
Pablo – next time you have to come to Penang, I will ask my sponsor to cook all the pork dishes for you since you love pork so much. :P
Claude – come back to Penang again, next time when I go home and I will take you to eat all the good food. ;)
Kate – yes, the stir-fried radish cake was awesome…yummylicious!
Budding Cook – feel free to chomp all you want.
Steamy – thanks!
Tiga – can lah…some pictures are a little dark…what to do?
Durianberry – thank you. Leave me more comments in the future, yeah, I love Shanghai Ding Durian pancake too…very tasty I love it. :)
I passed this Shanghai Ding restaurant sooo many times but never thought of trying it. But after looking at your wonderfully taken photos, I think I gotta try it now!!
Really really nice photos!
As usual, glossy food mag quality pix!
Wow, those are some of the most beautiful and elaborate dim sums I have ever seen. How much are they?
The dim sums we get in Chinatown are delicious but simple and plain. They cost $2.50 (small), $3.50 (medium) and $4.50 (large).
Hi RM, these shots are GORGEOUS ! I've never been to Shanghai Ding but will keep it in mind when I'm in Penang next. How can I resist after looking at all this beautiful yummy dishes??!
Yeah, I know what you mean about taking pics with natural light, its great, but sometimes when the weather is not at it's best the light can shift very quickly and it can be a real bummer when you're pressed for time.
I love your new profile pic – that's a lovely smile. You've brushed really well I can tell, but where's the rest of your face? It's not that we don't know how you look already? HA!HA!
Oh, one more thing, Congrats on the cooking class alliance with Jaden – it's great, wish I was there. I know I'd have a ball of a time! Good Luck!
Oh my God, those look so delicious!
I…err…I…I love You!
was in penang 2 weeks ago and missed new world Park, will try it during my next visit in december.
the pictures are absolutely beautiful! Will definitely try this during my next trip to Penang!
I just came back from Shanghai Ding, the food is not bad. But when I asked about the special one time "VIP Discount" as mentioned by RasaMalaysia (telling them we are a friend) they refused lol. Talk about embarassment, when the boss looked at me at one kind. According to her their price is already at special rate -_-
Wow! We have Ding Tai Fung here, but Shanghai Ding looks just as good!!! I want to know what is that on the 1st pic, 2nd row? the spiky thing looks divine!!!
Billy @ Table For Two – they are called pockey mouse, the specialty there. It's so soft and awesome. You would love them.
