Beautification Committee Suggestions
Hello fellow MGs. I've been asked by my neighborhood association to head up a Neighborhood Beautification committee. We are a small community and it will be very low key, but any suggestion you have for me to start would be very helpful. I must also write a column for our newsletter. Thank you so much for your help. I can really use it! We live in the Sandy Springs area of Atlanta, GA. Grit
Yo grit, I'm from Marietta. I don't really know what neighborhood beautification committies do but I would suggest you put in your newsletter that any walkers or joggers (jigglers if female) carry a plastic grocery bag with them and pick up litter on their route. I have done this and am amazed at the amount of litter I pick up daily. I would think that neatness counts for more than beauty or to put it differently, first make it neat then beautify it. I would imagine that beautifying individual yards is up to the homeowner and that committees would concentrate on entrances to the neighborhood. Anything you intend to plant should have a site with well amended soil that is completely free of grass and weeds. Any plantings should not be skimpy.Don't plant 3 or 4 pansies, instead plant 3 or 4 flats of pansies. Plant big, bold specimen plants. In my neighborhood we have a once a year cookout in the Fall and a community Yard Sale in the Spring where the committee puts up signs and participants put balloons and ribbons on their mailboxes.
Are there common areas that you will be planting/renovating? If so, what shapes and sizes? What is your committee's budget? How many members do you have on the committee and in the association?
If there are common areas have a potluck/planting day for all to participate in. If you do this, remember to have gardening activities for the children and supervision for them.
As the chairman I beg you - delegate! Try to ensure the experience will be a pleasure for you not just a chore.
For the newsletter just research the web for timely gardening jobs and hints specific to your area. If your local Master Gardeners publish a calendar it should be a great resorce.
Good luck!
Plant trees that are appropriate for your climate and rainfall, and that will grow to the right size. They are work for the first year, then for decades after the beautification committee has disbanded, people will still be enjoying the trees. Street trees, trees to shade a playground, specimen trees.

Uffington White Horse
Friday, 8th April 2005 by
The Uffington White Horse in Juarez Mexico is over half a mile long. Hey cool, we have these in the UK aswell.
Friday, 8th April 2005 by
The Uffington White Horse in Juarez Mexico is over half a mile long. Hey cool, we have these in the UK aswell.
Wow! I live near the orginial one at Uffington in Oxfordshire. http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/majorsites/uffington.html
there is one a lot smaller in Folkestone, Kent
if you look at the picture the bottom right part, there is a lizard too!
Yeah, there's a lizzard, looks like a little gecko
This is actually a copy of the one in England, made by an architect: http://hows.org.uk/personal/hillfigs/foreign/uff/uff.htm
I had never heard of the Uffington White Horse before this year. When I first saw a pic, I instantly recognized it from a copy I had seen 17 years ago.
Working at an airpark (residential airport) made for lots of flying time in light planes. In 1988 I saw a this style white horse, possibly original sized, from the air somewhere within 5 miles East to South of Luthersville GA USA. My (brief) search of newer Terraserver images was unsuccessful in locating it. I would love for somebody with more time to be able to locate it.
The subsoil here is red-to-yellow clay; so there is no white substrate to expose. One would have to dump chalk several inches deep to create this figure. Without continuous upkeep, it would dissappear in 3-5 years in this mild climate and 45-50 inches of rain yearly.
I grew up in the village of Ashbury two miles from the Uffington White Horse. We visited and played around it and Uffington Castle, the iron age earthwork nearby as children on many occasions. I have written about it in the past and am at present writing a mystery novel (sounds pretentious) called "The Uffington Mystery" which features the White Horse, the Ridgeway, Waylands Smithy and the many crop circles which appear on the Berkshire Downs (now Oxfordshire). I was thrilled to see the Mexican version, even if it is galloping the other way! I would welcome contact or exchange of information.

Google Street View may be ever-expanding in its reach, but it's still a long way from covering the entire world.

Nectarines in full sun
Is anyone growing nectarines in the valley in full sun? I posted on another board and a man is growing a nectarine tree here in a more protected area. After buying them, I have heard that they can be kind of touchy here.
I have three nectarine trees ( Panamint, Snow Queen and Desert Delight)ready to be planted in full sun so I am hoping that they will survive.
I do have 2 dwarf nectarine trees that I planted last Spring and they did survive the summer but they are on the East side of my house.
I have a Desert Delight in full sun. It is a great producer with tasty fruit. If I had it to do over, I would have not allowed it to produce the first year, & little the second, because it seemed like it was a struggle towards the end of summer. It is very prolific & will set far more fruit than it should. Mine is going into it's third year now (it was a #15 when I bought it). It is already busting out in new growth & bloom. It flowers early, but produces later than the Desert Dawn. I would definitely focus on root & leaf growth at the expense of the fruit the first couple of years. The nectarine did much better than the cherries & plums I planted in the same area, though all survived. I hope that helps.
paint the trunks and main branches with white citrus paint, keeps the sunburn down ... and provide some shade cloth the first year if they're smaller, if you can ...
It's good to hear that there are nectarines growing successfully in the full sun!
This first year I will be cutting the tree back as recommended by the Dave Wilson site on the Backyard Orchard culture page so, I am not expecting any fruit at all. We'll see about fruit for the second year after I take a class on Backyard Orchard culture pruning but I doubt if it will be much.
I also have cherry trees, a Minnie Royal, a Royal Lee, a dwarf Stella and a dwarf Lapins and 3 different plum trees to plant in the same area.
Painting the trunks and main branches and putting up shade cloth will be no problem. I did this with my baby citrus and other tropicals last summer and it worked beautifully.
Of course now I have to post for a cheap place to buy shade cloth:)
agility_mom, we purchased ours thru Gempler's online ... way cheaper than anyone could give us locally ...
Here is a link that might be useful: Gempler's Shade Cloth
I use Hort Oils but that might not be "up your ally" so to speak. Following a good IPM will do best over the long term. The best thing is to be able to ID what they look like and the signs they leave, that will give you a good idea of the population (sticky traps work well also)and the coarse of action you'll want to follow. I found a link here that's a good guide line for treatment. Also check out the UCD site on IPM (my old collage :) lol).
When it comes to pest, it's not a matter of "if" you have them, you already do, it's a matter of how large the population is to cause damage.
Thrips cause more damage in Nectarines over Peaches here because Nectarines have no "fuzz" on there fruit as peaches, Thrips suck on the young fruits and scare them. Once scared the fruit doesn't size out and looks like it has frost damage
Here is a link that might be useful: About Thrip Controal

"Consistently terrific seafood" is what you find at this circa-1867 "San Francisco treasure" that just finished a facelift and retains "the look and feel of a Spencer Tracy movie" – think "martinis, curtained booths" and waiters in tuxes who are all "grizzled pros"; while tabs can be "pricey", some believe this "historic" spot still offers "the best value Downtown", plus "the bar pours good drinks" and best of all, it "feels like home."

Schizophrenia affects about one percent of the world's population and, if untreated, leaves sufferers struggling with their relationships, jobs, and lives as a whole.
when it comes to easing symptoms of anxiety-related disorders, prayer doesn't have the same effect for everybody

Hello all. I have a question. I planted nastrium seed in some hanging pots. what I want to know is if I pinch them back after they start, will the plant fill out better. I do this with some of my other plants impatience etc and then plant the stub. I got off there... because I planted some last year and they were leggy not full.??
I thought after they got a couple of sets of leaves I would try this. To maybe get the plant to be more lush?? Any thoughts.
Bonnie - Pinching them when they're young will help make them bushier. I think it's a great idea, especially since they're in pots.
I believe another spelling for the same plant is Nasturtium. If it's the same one, you'll get more matches on google if you use that spelling. Does this look like the same plant?
Here is a link that might be useful: Nasturtiums

which is what the Republicans first introduced, doesn't it? Either way the government owns our bodies to selectively distribute "care". Do the IRS numbers factor in the 20+ million aliens that will need to be part of the system under the new "amesty" immigration policy? I haven't heard anyone talk about repealing any portion of Obamacare since the debates.

Sunset Beach Vacation Rentals with hot tub(20)

Recent Sunset Beach Reviews
Incredable House
We rented a house and got a HOME!! This house has the Hawaiin Spirit and Soul. It is well built, very well cared for, it is in the best location in the North Shore. Its definitely cozy, comfortable and very charming. The pool and the spa are special. The perfct view of Sunste Beach. We had an amazing family and friends vacation.
2014 Family Reunion
We had 21 family members stay here and we had the best family vacation. The three story house was clean with a spacious large kitchen with plenty of room for a large crowd and unbelievable views. A large dining table accommodated everyone to sit and eat together. There were plenty of beds, lanais, SPACE and of course the beach. The views from every window and balcony were amazing. The beach was nearly empty and we felt we were on our own private beach. We saw large sea turtles and a pod of dolphins. One ceiling fan was not working and management was out that day to fix it. We had plenty of parking, and even rode the bikes at the house to the local store. We loved the two washer/dryers, pool table, spacious bathrooms. The big screen television was a hit on quiet afternoons with plenty of movies available to watch. We loved seeing the movies dealing with the local area and surfing. It did get warm in July and with no air conditioning and we were a little uncomfortable. We bought fans from the local Walmart and that helped. It did reach 90 degrees during the day but cooled down at night. (A window unit in some of the bedrooms would have been nice to cool them down.) The outside showers were wonderful especially to cut down on the sand in the house. We were close to other beaches and the men went golfing at Turtle Bay. We went cliff jumping at the Rock which had underwater tunnels to swim through. There was swimming, snorkeling and food at Shark's Cove. Ted's Bakery with their infamous haupia pie (chocolate coconut)was within five minutes. Haleiwa had a craft fare at this time of the year with great shopping and food. We all went to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the day, which is a must to go and see, including the Luau. The LDS temple is in Laie with lovely gardens, grounds and old Banyon trees. The Dole Pineapple plantation is 20 minutes away with a fun maze. There was nearby hiking. Would we stay here again? In an heartbeat! Everyone had a great time. No one wanted to leave. Aloha.
A Great Winter Rental
We spent Christmas in this lovely home, and when I say "we" I mean ten adults and five babies aged 3 and under! We brought our whole family and really had a fantastic time. The view is amazing and we spent hours watching the pro surfers on the big waves. The home is laid out is such a way that couples can spread out and have a little privacy when needed. We were so happy with the way it worked. The hot tub was wonderful, and the immediate access to the beach was so convenient for little ones. There were fun bikes to ride but not much else for activities, so we asked about it and Miriam brought over some inflatables and a beach umbrella. She was very willing to do whatever we asked. The only negative comment I have is that for that amount of money (it was Christmas so we paid the top dollar) I felt the home should be in a bit better repair. The screens were off the tracks, the TV remote didn't work, and the home was not quite as clean as I would have hoped. But when you are out on that fabulous balcony, or listening to the waves crash all night, those little things matter very little. It's a one-of-a-kind home ~ we'll treasure the memory of our vacation there! All of our kids said it was the best vacation they ever had.

Never Take Field Sobriety Tests in California
Officers are trained to get information out of you so they don't have to give you Miranda warnings. Avoid this game. Don't tell them where you are coming from, when you slept last or how long. Don't tell them when you ate last or what you ate. Don't tell them what time you started or stopped drinking or what or how many drinks you had. Don't take any field sobriety tests including the hand held Preliminary Alcohol Screening test. Go to jail and take the blood test or breath test after you are arrested, and don't answer any other questions except your name address, general info; even if threatened, but always take the State required Chemical Test, either breath or blood. If you take breath, not the preliminary one, the chemical one, don't take another test unless demanded to do so for drugs, ask why and don't volunteer. Contact a DUI Lawyer immediately, and have the lawyer contact the DMV to protect your driving privilege.
Never Volunteer Information
Answer only questions about your health, your name, address, social security, phone number, and employment. Never, never, never give information about your drinking and driving as stated above. The Officer will try to make this sound like it has something to do with the field sobriety test he or she is going to give you; not so. They are gathering information for their toxicologist to convict you. You will go to jail by following these steps, but you will increase your chances of success and protect your Constitutional Rights by following this advise. If the Officer threatens you, get his or her name, demand your chemical test only and tell the Officer you have nothing further to say, and again DEMAND your chemical test.

When Charlotte was told she was expecting twins her life changed dramatically. Having her twins, Lily and Grace, at 30 weeks meant they were in hospital for seven weeks. Here Charlotte shares with us her experience of a twin pregnancy and how the girls are doing now.
"Hearing for the first time that I was to have twins was a really big shock. My mum and aunt came with me for my scan and they saw it even before I did. I just saw their shocked faces and was so worried that something was wrong with my baby. When I turned to look at the scan though, I saw that there were two perfectly clear babies on the screen and we all just started crying. My husband is in the Army and wasn't around for the scan so afterwards I sent him the image of our babies – he actually thought that I had sent it to him twice by mistake, he couldn't believe that we were having twins!
Being pregnant with twins you get a lot of medical attention; I had more scans, I had my blood pressure taken more regularly and I had a midwife who specialised in twin pregnancies, she really looked after me. Carrying twins is quite a surreal experience as the terminology surrounding pregnancy always focuses on one baby and even I found myself saying 'baby' rather than 'babies'. Attending the twin clinic was wonderful and it really helped me understand my pregnancy. Twin pregnancies are high risk and that meant that I was quite worried during my own. Having the twin clinic really reassured me; in fact I would have happily gone in everyday to check the girls were okay."
Premature twins
"I went into labour early and was taken to hospital where they put me on a drip which slowed down the process. This meant the doctors were able to give the girls steroids to help develop their lungs. I was taken off the drip after three days and my labour started again. The girls were born prematurely, at 30 weeks, by caesarean section both weighing 3lbs 9oz. They just seemed so tiny. Being premature, they weren't able to breathe on their own so they were taken straight to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). I found this incredibly hard as I barely spent any time with them before they were taken to the NICU.
Lily and Grace were in hospital for seven weeks. As well as regular brain and heart scans, they both had blood transfusions and lumbar punctures. Grace was also suffering from necrotizing enterocolitis, a gastrointestinal disease which causes infection and inflammation that can lead to varying degrees of destruction of the bowel. She had a long line fitted to provide her with nutrients as she was 'nil by mouth'. Thankfully, she fully recovered once she finished her course of antibiotics.
I was with the girls for each of these procedures. It was a very traumatic time for us all. I think of all the time in hospital Christmas was the worst day for us, we really wanted the girls to be at home but this was impossible and instead they woke up on their own in a hospital incubator. I'm looking forward to giving them their first proper Christmas at home this year.
Bringing the girls home
"Bringing them home was pretty scary if I'm honest. Suddenly I really felt like a mum. Life with twins is very different from what is used to be – you never have time to stop. Getting the girls out of the house can be tricky, the amount of stuff that I need to take means I have barely any room to carry anything for myself. Even a quick trip to the shops can take ages as we constantly get stopped by people who want to see the girls.
The girls are now completely signed off from the hospital and apart from being a little behind in terms of development they are very healthy babies. To look at them you wouldn't think they were born prematurely, they are the same size as babies of their age.
Having twins means you get everything twice – you have two babies to love and you get twice the amount of cuddles. Grace is definitely the cheeky one, whilst Lily is very laid back. They do always want to be together, most of the time if they cry it's because they have woken up without the other one there with them.
It's so great to hear that Sparks' researchers are trying to prevent the high rates of twins being born prematurely. If the girls had been born at full term, it would have prevented them going through everything they did. Having twins is an amazing thing and I can't wait to see what Lily and Grace's future holds."
Jade's Story
When Jade was four years old she was burnt by a cup of coffee. This led to her undergoing numerous treatments, including wearing a pressure garment, for four years. Jade's mum Nicky tells us about Jade's story and explains how the Sparks research looking into the treatment of burns could help other children.
"Jade was four at the time and was at my auntie's house when I got a call to tell me she had been burnt and that she was being taken to hospital. Jade had been in the kitchen when she had accidentally picked up a cup of coffee which had spilt down her. I rushed to the hospital where Jade was being bandaged and treated for the burns. We were told Jade wouldn't be admitted but that we would need to come back the next day to get her bandages changed.
We went back to the hospital for the next few days and had Jade's bandages changed. On the third day of going, the consultant was carrying out his rounds as normal but when he looked at Jade's burns he explained to me that they were deeper than they had originally thought. Jade was referred to the Queen Victoria hospital in West Sussex, who deal specifically with the treatment of burns.
"When we arrived at the Queen Victoria, Jade was almost immediately given morphine and her burns were photographed."
A couple of days later she underwent a skin graft and then stayed in hospital for a total of ten days, with me staying in the parent's annexe. This was a particularly hard time for us, it was incredibly difficult to see my daughter in such pain and having to deal with the severity of the burns, which we had originally thought were mostly superficial, was very worrying."
Wearing a pressure garment
"About a month after Jade's skin graft we had an appointment with the occupational therapist who told me that Jade would have to wear a pressure garment.
"A pressure garment is a skin coloured bodysuit which compresses the burn scars to make them softer, paler and flatter."
I have to admit when I first saw the pressure garment I was shocked that Jade would have to wear this 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Along with the pressure garment I needed to massage Jade's burns with a special cream three times a day. Jade and I would get up early to do this before school, then again when she got home and finally just before she went to bed.
I think wearing the pressure garment was one of the hardest parts of Jade being burnt. When we were out in public, people would often stare at it and wonder why, particularly in summer, she had to wear this. Jade was too little to notice this but it was something which particularly upset me. I don't think Jade could have been better at coping though, she never once complained about wearing the pressure garment or being too hot in it. This was a great comfort to me and just showed what a headstrong little girl Jade was and still continues to be.
Jade wore the pressure garment for four years; her scars have now matured and healed to a natural skin colour so she no longer needs to wear the garment. The burns are still noticeable but for Jade it doesn't really seem to bother her. When children at her school ask her about the burns she is happy to tell them how she got them. She really enjoys swimming and a lot of other sports like badminton and horse riding and she is happy to throw herself into these, it hasn't changed her or her confidence at all. She also attends a camp with children from the burns unit at Queen Victoria and this has been a great support both to her and me, as I have met the parents of the children with burns like Jades. Just knowing that others have been through what we have has been of comfort to me."
Changing the future for children like Jade
"Knowing about the Sparks research which looks to treat burns in a better more effective way is really amazing, particularly after everything Jade and I have been through. It would have made a big difference to Jade, not having to undergo the skin graft which was quite a traumatic procedure for her at such a young age. Having a simpler, more effective treatment would hopefully mean children could recover more quickly and get back to their normal lives faster.
It's great to know Sparks are working hard to improve treatment for children, any change that could me made, even for just one child, could really make a difference.
"I'm so pleased to support Sparks' mission and hope sharing our story can give hope to others."

There has been much capitalism-bashing going on in the media. Clearly the anti-caps have no idea what they are against and even less of an idea of what they are for. I don't have a lot to add to this well-thought, well-written paper by Dr. Ronald Nash. I just know I'll be looking for even more of his writings. I hope after reading, you will add your comments to start what should be a lively discussion on the pros and cons of capitalism, socialism, and what the left is really hoping to accomplish.

AT The Party
Stephen King conjured me up and made me exist,
I am a man eating clown, he called me She-it.
He gave me nice hooters to please,
Two pouty, full lips to tantalize and tease.
I never show my teeth when I smile,
Cause they are fangy and jagged, like a crocodile.
Of my most favorite treats,
I find men more tasty to eat!
The blood is sweeter closest to the bone,
I like to tender it up some, before in I zone!
I am headin to a Halloween Party,
given by the Mistress Of The Night, LaBelle,
I am gonna mate like a bunny and raise some Hell.
A Big Dude, that looked like Lurch, has just let me in,
I started to drool, cause LaBelle invites only good lookin men!
I just spied a Male Vampire that has filled me with lust,
I will be samplin his vintage, very soon, you can trust!
I have just patted his ass and grabbed his cape,
I am holdin on tight, aint no way he is gonna escape!
He is grinnin and exposin his fangs,
But my gaze has just gone lower
and have discovered a BIG THANG!
Now who will get the first bite, Dracky or me?
Will it be my neck or that big limb on his family tree?
Then a tango began to play,
Our bodies began to mesh in a sensuous way.
The music was causin the heat to rise,
Lust sparks was emittin from our yellow eyes!
He danced me out into the night,
Always keepin my white neck in his sight.
Suddenly he started to make his move,
As my small hand started makin his BIG UN groove.
My hand worked magic and he started to moan,
Then in a flash, my lips and fangs located his bone.
My gentle nips, made him sigh,
Although his wine was sweet, I didn't drain him dry.
With his sweetness, still clingin to my lips, I gave him a kiss,
Then I offed him a snowy hooter, an offer he couldn't resist.

Hi Everyone,
New to this forum, usually hang out at the hosta forum. But, now that I finally have a sunny area to work with I thought I would take a look over here for inspiration. Boy, I have not been disappointed. I have enjoyed all of the pictures, all of them are truly beautiful. Thanks for letting me introduce myself. You will probably see me comment every once and awhile. Right now I do not have much for photos to share, but hopefully in the future I will.
Happy Gardening !!

An irresistible concept meets computer-generated wonders in Night at the Museum, inspired by a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller stars as Larry Daley, an underachieving inventor waiting for his ship to come in while getting evicted from one apartment after another for lack of funds. Larry's son needs some stability, so the well-meaning ne'er-do-well takes a job as night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History. What the soon-to-retire guards (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs) don't tell him is that an ancient pharaoh's tablet in the museum causes everything on display to come to life at night. Thus, Larry meets representations of Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, fire-worshipping cavemen, and Roman Empire soldiers, and learns to cope with an excitable T-Rex and man-eating, ancient animals. The film might have left things at that, but an added story element gives Night at the Museum some extra urgency and excitement, especially for kids: Larry becomes responsible for keeping this nightly miracle going and preventing anything in the museum from dying due to exposure to sunrise. Computer effects, as well as wildly imaginative costumes and makeup, help make the film appeal to the 8-year-old in everyone. Director Shawn Levy (The Pink Panther) works with a hugely talented cast, including Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Carla Gugino, and Steve Coogan. --Tom Keogh

I agree. I really love the special effects, the humor, and the characters in the film. Meanwhile, the second DVD will educate viewers on how this masterpiece was created by taking them behind-the-scenes.

Nate Schierholtz agrees to minor league deal with Rangers

Wrigley Field Scoreboard Operator Naps Hard During Cubs-Mets Game (Video)
Tuesday night's Chicago Cubs-New York Mets game featured a thrilling ending – Nate Schierholtz's walk-off single gave the Cubs a 2-1 win — but was rather boring throughout the middle innings. Neither side plated a run from the top of the first until the bottom of the eighth, and as the game neared its halfway point, the operator of Wrigley Field's manual outfield scoreboard...

Dr. Idella Glenn, Assistant Vice President for Student Development and Director of Diversity and Inclusion, is leaving Furman University after serving for over 18 years to become Director of Diversity Education and Retention Initiatives at Virginia Commonwealth University. For almost two decades, Dr. Glenn has been instrumental in advancing diversity and inclusion both at Furman and across the Associated Colleges of the South. She has played a major role in preparing a Diversity and Inclusion Planning Grant proposal that was funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. A ten-member Planning Committee, composed of five Chief Academic Officers and five Diversity Officers, is charged with producing a significant grant proposal focused on diversity and inclusion for the ACS. Dr. Shirley Collado, Dean of the College at Middlebury College, is consultant to the Committee and Dr. Ron Swain is the Project Director. The Planning Committee held its first face-to-face meeting at the University of Richmond on September 26, 2014. A second such meeting will take place in March, 2015 at Davidson College.
While ACS member institutions differ in numerous ways, we share a common and a primary purpose: to provide a quality liberal arts education that prepares students to be responsible and effective local, national, and world citizens. The following five practices are at the center of the types of learning that distinguish a liberal arts education from other types of learning:
- Commitment to Life-long Learning that is characterized by a sustained intellectual curiosity.
- Critical Thinking that is characterized by the ability to identify assumptions, to test logic, to evaluate evidence, to reason correctly, and to take responsibility for the actions that result.
- Encounters with Difference that promote the understanding of others, as well as self-understanding, and the appreciation and mutual respect of diverse perspectives and cultures.
- Free, Principled, and Civil Exchanges of Ideas that are characterized by open-mindedness and mutual respect.
- Ethical framework that serves as the basis for decisions and actions in all personal, social and business relationships.
The liberal arts curriculum is known in Latin as artes liberales, or "work benefiting a free person." At its best, the academic and social aspects of a liberal arts education teach one how to live.
Mission of the Diversity Initiative within the Context of a Liberal Arts Education
An essential element of a liberal arts education, as noted in number 3 above, is a welcomed and valued diverse learning community, where individuals and the campus community as a whole may safely and respectfully explore unfamiliar ideas, convictions, and practices. This element in particular and the purpose of a liberal arts education in general frame and shape the mission of the ACS Diversity Initiative, which is to support and to encourage the ACS member institutions in their endeavors to create and to sustain campus learning/teaching and social environments that welcome, value and celebrate diversity.
In keeping with this mission, the ACS Diversity Initiative is about the tasks of:
- identifying common concerns that may be addressed by collaborative and consortial efforts, including but not limited to such topics as faculty/recruitment/retention and prejudice reduction.
- providing opportunities where dialogue on and the exploration of diversity concerns that affect the academic and social environments of member institutions may take place, including such opportunities as consortial workshops, seminars, conferences, and forums.
- sharing best practices and helpful resources through a variety of electronic and non-electronic means.
- encouraging member institutions to create campus infrastructures that will provide continuity across the current and future academic calendars to address diversity issues and concerns.
- celebrating the diversity within ACS and sharing beyond the consortium the experiences of and the lessons learned by our member institutions.
Approved by the ACS Diversity Initiative Planning Committee, September 2003
Approved by the ACS Council of Deans, October 2003
Approved by the ACS Presidents, January 2004
While ACS institutions differ in numerous ways, we share a common belief that diversity in our student bodies, faculties, and staffs assists us in attaining our primary mission: providing a quality liberal arts education that prepares students to be responsible and effective local, national and world citizens. We believe that racial and ethnic diversity on our campuses significantly enriches the educational experience and promotes personal growth, by increasing the exposure to and the understanding of differences that are found in the larger, pluralistic society.
At their best, multicultural experiences foster mutual respect, teamwork, and communities where it is the quality of a person's character and contribution that matter the most. This is of utmost importance in a world where we work and play side by side with people from very different cultures and backgrounds.

Heading into qualifying, Montoya has impressive time
MEXICO CITY -- Juan Pablo Montoya proved Friday he doesn't need an open-wheel car to post fast laps on a road course.
Montoya turned the fastest lap of the day on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez road course during the final Busch Series practice at 104.180 mph in the No. 42 Dodge.
Qualifying is Saturday for the Telcel Motorola 200 on Sunday afternoon. This is Montoya's first road-course event in a stock car, but he raced on the 2.5-mile Mexico City road course when he drove in the Champ Car series.
"It was an awesome track when I raced then and it's still an awesome track," Montoya said. "But it's tricky and you need a lot of rhythm. It would be great to get the pole, but it's more important to bring the car home and win it."
Veteran road racer Scott Pruett, who had the fastest lap in the first practice, posted the second-best lap in the last session at 103.542 mph in the No. 21 Dodge.
Denny Hamlin, who won this event last year, was third quickest at 103.297 mph in the No. 20 Chevrolet.
Former NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series racer Carlos Contreras, a Mexico City native, was fastest among the Mexican drivers with a lap at 103.197 mph in the No. 22 Dodge, fourth in the last session.
Mexican racer Jorge Goeters, who won the pole in the first Mexico Busch race in 2005, was right behind Contreras at 102.970 mph.
Houston rookie Brad Coleman, who is making his Busch Series debut at 19, had an impressive first day. Coleman posted the sixth-best lap in the last practice at 102.469 mph in the No. 18 Chevy for Joe Gibbs Racing.

He has covered the Minnesota Wild for the Star Tribune since 2005, after 10 years of covering the Florida Panthers for the Sun-Sentinel. He uses "Russo's Rants" to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and can be heard weekly on KFAN (100.3 FM) radio and seen weekly on Fox Sports North.
Also find Russo on Facebook.
Email Michael to talk about hockey.
The Wild hosts the San Jose Sharks this afternoon at 1 p.m. CT, and there will be a ton of familiar faces on both sides.
For the Sharks, there's former Wild players Brent Burns, Martin Havlat and, playing his first-ever game as a visitor at the X, 2006 first-round pick James Sheppard.
For the Wild, there's Devin Setoguchi, Dany Heatley, and playing their former teams for the first time, Torrey Mitchell and 2010 first-round pick Charlie Coyle.
I talked to Burns and Sheppard before the game. Burns will be playing first-line right wing with Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau. Sheppard missed two full seasons following three knee surgeries stemming from the broken kneecap in the ATV accident. You can hear more from both in tomorrow's Star Tribune.
Niklas Backstrom vs. Finnish countryman Antti Niemi. No Ryane Clowe for San Jose.
Tom Gilbert is available for the Wild. We will see if he replaces Nate Prosser after warmups. Mike Rupp is injured and Brett Clark is expected to be scratched.
I will be on Fox Sports North at 12:30 p.m. and again after the first intermission. Talk to you after the game.

I have had a long love of chiles and salsas. Especially on eggs. Well, really, on everything except for Asian cuisine. They have their own special kinds of hot. My honey has a gringo mouth, as does my dearest friend. I cannot eat the Habeneros like I used to, but that is okay. I am more about the taste than the hot. Since I don't cook much any more, I know the best places to go to get what I like. Yeah baby! I like it hotI :o)
Created in Apophysis with some post work in Photoshop CC.

hot image indeed Bunny…..I can't eat too many hot and spicy things…this one is glowing!
LOL! My secret is Nexium. Without it I wouldn't be able to eat anything… not even bland. :o) Thank you Linda. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
me too… the hotter the better
I learned to make chili pots from an old Navajo woman. That woman made some mean chiles, Thank you Rey. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
WOW! this one is so beautiful. rich and intense. a fav for sure ;)
Thank you very much Manon. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
I love this one!!!
Thank you Carolyn. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
Oh my goodness, this bubble is full of food tonight! I don't like it hot though, just mild I'm afraid. Love the image.
I understand. My sweetie has a gringo mouth too. Not everyone can eat it and feel comfortable. When I had chile dinners years ago, I made mild, medium and hot. That way, everyone had what they liked. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
Love it – looks like a subterranean cache of jewels!!
LOL! For you, it can be. :o) Thank you Tina.
– Bunny Clarke
If this is chilli, it could be my friends "Miraculously masochistic methane madness chrome and pipe cleaner!" The recipe is top secret, which pleases me no end! Lol A real fun one, Bunny. :-)
LOL! I don't make the stuff that peels paint any more. It has to taste good, or its not worth making. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
Such a beautiful intricate design, and love the colours Bunny :-)
Thank you for your lovely comment Trudi. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
Agreed, I like it hot, babe, but this is RB ;-) Seeeriously though, wonderful image, Bunny, which conveys so well the essence of chillies! Also made me think briefly of Space Oddesy by David Bowie…..the centre looks rather like a planet with smaller ones orbiting around it. Very original, very beautiful, and I love chillis!! Fave!
I had forgotten that particular piece. Thank you very much. :o)
– Bunny Clarke
clever idea! I like it hot too, but it doesn't like me! :)
I had the problem for a while, but it got better when I got to take medicine for it. I can almost eat anything now. Thank you Angie. :o)

When Microsoft ends support for XP in a few months
I've always encouraged people to bite the bullet and upgrade to a new operating system when getting a new computer, rather than clinging to an old OS they are more comfortable with. However, I know from hanging out on this forum that some people are very reluctant to move on, or have an older computer that they don't want to get rid of quite yet. Microsoft will end support for XP in spring 2014, which means that security and other updates will no longer be produced for this more than 10 year old OS. For those who are still using XP, this means that you will be more vulnerable to new Internet threats and viruses.
However, if you are in this category, there are a few things you can do, nonetheless, to be a little more secure. The link below is to a useful article I just came across that gives details on why you will be vulnerable and tips on things you can do to be a little more secure after XP support ends.
What's not true?
Your comment to "just keep all software updated" is fine for what can be updated, but the software of the XP operating system can't be updated when Microsoft quits doing updates. If you read the whole article, it recommends among other things keeping your AV updated. Obviously you can continue to update your independent antivirus software. But no AV will protect you from all potential security breaches with an OS that is no longer being updated.
Most of the updates or security updates from ms are for IE=internet explorer, and I'm telling you if you keep AVG updated and malewarebytes etc. you will have no problems, if IE does give you a problem then simply download another browser.
XP should be just fine for more yrs. of use.
And for some of us learning how to operate a new browser is like pulling the rug out from under. Scariest thing in the world, and for those that are on edge, take heart, do the change, even if you don't use the browser steady, at least learn how to use it, doesn't take up that much on the machine. Can help in the long run.
Download, and learn at your leisure.
Since I have a Windows 7 computer, I've decided to try to learn to use a Linux distro. After doing much reading, I downloaded LinuxMint with Mate desktop, version 13 (because it's being supported until 2017), 32 bit. I have burned the .iso DVD. Next is to try booting with the disk and giving it a try. I'll spend some time with it, and if I think I find it easy to use after about a week's trial, then I'll install it to dual boot with XP. Haven't booted with the disk as yet since I want to have some uninterrupted time for this, so wish me luck. If all goes well, I'll have learned to use another OS without spending $$$.
You'll probably love Mint. Definitely worth a try.
But if you're bored and have time on your hand, another candidate might be Linux Lite. It's running so well on my netbook that I think I'm probably going to put it on my new desktop.
I almost downloaded another distro recommended for XP users since it's supposed to have a very similar desktop. It's called Zorin OS.
"A general-use distribution that mimics the look, feel, and functionality of Windows. This is geared for those who prefer the Windows interface or need an easier way to transition from Windows to Linux. Based on: Ubuntu."
My son has an old Dell laptop that has only 256MB RAM, so Puppy Linux would be great to try on that one.
Yes, I'll try several before deciding which one to actually install. BTW, I did boot into Mint last evening, and at first was totally lost. However, I soon found the start menu, etc., so I am anxious to give it a try.
