EASTER BUNNY PHOTOS!! Thank you to everyone who supported our Easter Bunny Photos fundraiser this year! A very special thanks to Tony Urban, our photographer, who does a great job making everyone look good, and to Family Video for having us!

THANK YOU MOSHOLDER INSURANCE!! Lebanon Valley Insurance Company from Cleona, PA has a "charitable donations fund". This year they allowed their top agents to pick the charity of their choice to accept the donation. Mosholder Insurance Agency chose the Humane Society of Somerset County as their charity of choice. A check in the amount of $840 was donated to the Humane Society of Somerset County. In the picture is George Koutsouflakis from Lebanon Valley Insurance Company, Alisa Murphy from Mosholder Insurance Agency, David Mayhugh from the the Humane Society of Somerset County, and Freckles (who has since be adopted). Thank you!!
HOME NEEDED FOR HORSE!! I am Comet and I am the curious, fun-loving one! I am an appaloosa filly approximately 7 months old. I went through a lot with my mare who had a life-threatening injury, so I got quite used to getting on and off trailers and being moved around. Because of this, I am very brave and easy to handle. I lead well, stand for the farrier, and love to be hugged! I load, tie, and have even allowed that vet lady to stick needles in me for my vaccinations without a fuss. My foster home has a little girl and when she comes into the field, I go straight up to her for kisses and rubs. I will probably stay a pony as my mare was only about 14.2 hands and I am very short and compact. I have a few white spots on my rump but otherwise I am a solid chestnut color. My forever home has someone with training experience because even though I am easy to handle now, I am going to get bigger and I need someone to teach me everything I need to know to be your lifelong trail companion or gaming pony! Please just don't let me end up in a bad situation like my mom was in...only ask about me if you plan to train me and keep me forever!
In partnership with Purina® Pets for People™ we are happy to offer a Purina® Pets for Seniors discount program to qualified seniors, sixty years of age and older.

Love this Fixture! A bit of a challenge to put together, but worth every aggravating moment. Once you get the crystals all in place (give yourself at least an hour) it looks gorgeous and is an elegant addition to any room.

Beautiful chandelier + tips for installation Once this light is up you'll forget about the process of assembling/ installing it! It's absolutely stunning, and photos here don't do it enough justice! We read the reviews carefully before purchasing, and they were right- there are a few fiddly things you need to do to make the chandelier installation go smoothly. Here are my tips: -I discovered a way to deal with the black electric cord: silver model paint. Get a little brush and vial of Testor or other model paint at your local craft store. A LOT easier and cheaper than replacing it yourself or paying someone else to! Wait until AFTER installation and the cord is woven through the chain. Since the cord is bendable, the paint will flake off if you move it around. Carefully paint the exposed black areas. Voila! -The mounting cup is smaller than most US light electrical boxes. No biggie. Get a ceiling light medallion at your local big box home store. Painters caulk will stick the medallion to the ceiling nicely. I did this myself and completed the installation (after getting the above items) in less than 2 hours. The most time consuming part was attaching all the glass crystals and beads- but even that was kinda fun. You won't regret any of these detours above once you are looking at this amazing chandelier! Good luck.

Beautiful, BUT BEWARE!! This is an absolutely beautiful chandelier...BUT....if you purchase this, BEWARE!! I got the chandelier assembled at 11pm before my electrician came at 8am the next day. All the packaging was great and protected the crystals perfectly. Everything looked great prior to install. However, when my electician arrived, he could not install the chandelier. The problems are as follows: 1. The cord for hanging the chandelier is black, not silver, making it UGLY, so it needs to be REWIRED! 2. The chain and cord are way shorter than advertised. 3. The chain is fairly flimsy. 4. MOST IMPORTANTLY, this chandelier is "European" electrically, meaning that the canopy for the light box needs to be Americanized so it can even be hung at all. It has NO brackets to secure it to the ceiling. So, now I have to get the chandelier rewired at a lighting store with 25 foot silver lamp cord instead of the black, buy a new, sturdy longer chain, and get an American canopy and bracket set so the chandelier can be hung and installed. WHAT A PAIN!!!! I have no idea how much MORE this will cost me. Please be advised that this chandelier is high maintenance!!

Shop for parts before installing! Nice product BUT before you hire your electrician PLEASE get the shopping list done...it does NOT fit American standard electrical boxes. I hired an electrician to install and he had to run up to HOME DEPOT for the fitting around the electrical opening and the actual brackets to hang the fixture. It is beautiful but buyer beware! This simple job cost me as much as the chandelier to have installed!

Bold Statement! This is a beautiful chandelier that makes a fabulous addition to my dining room. Definitely a statement piece. Assembly took some time....about 2 hours from box to ceiling. The directions are a little hard to follow, but not impossible. My father and husband worked together. I have received numerous comments on how "stunning" and "stylish" the fixture is, and many people are shocked when I tell them it's from Overstock. Definitely recommend!

Fixture should come with a warning The fixture should come with a warning that it has a european mount kit - not an american mount kit - so if you're excited to install right away - you'll either need to go out and buy a US mount kit or steal one from the old fixture (which is what we did). Also - the wire is black and should be at least coppery or brushed nickel in color...this is 2013? are there still no more wire choices than black or white? looks gorgeous now its installed in my dining room which I recently repainted to "glam" it up...really works

I have a 9 foot ceiling and this hangs perfectly over my tall bar stool set! It's really pretty!
After reading comments/reviews: is the product now American - so no issues installing? is there a ground wire? is the cord color now clear vs old black? if not, what color? how long is the cord? what is the height of the piece? it looks stunning
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hello mtgegal, I'm sorry I was unable to obtain all the answers to your questions. The cord is clear and 66 inches long. The chandelier is 21 inches tall. Have a great day!
Hello mtgegal, there is no ground wire. The cord is clear. The cord is 54 inches and the chain is 48 inches. have a great day!
The chandelier still has a European size ceiling cover piece (the piece at the top that covers the wires and touches the ceiling). A ceiling medallion will cover, would need to attach with painters caulk or something since the opening is still a bit too big but not as bad as before. We had no issues with the wiring so I assume it is wired American. The cord is clear!
The electrical fitting is very small, we installed over recently installed wood ceiling so the box wasn't an issue.
What color is the hardware? I'm looking for brushed nickel.
brushed nickel
It's not shiny I think it looks brushed!

Yes, you can hang this however you want.

Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms. It's easy to update your bedroom with a striking pendant chandelier, or add a crystal chandelier to the dining room for extra sparkle. You may have a few questions about choosing chandelier lighting that works with your style, however. Read on for tips on finding the best chandeliers for your home.
FAQs about Chandeliers and Pendants
Chandeliers and pendants have always been popular lighting options because they can highlight spaces and bring some pizzazz and sparkle to a room. The popularity of chandeliers and pendants has made Overstock.com's wide selection even wider and has probably left you with several questions about how to choose, hang and care for the right chandeliers and pendants. Read on to find the answers to these frequently asked questions.
Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow. A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous. If your chandelier is looking old and outdated, it might be time to update with a new style.
Best Places to Hang Mini Chandeliers
A glistening chandelier can add that little extra something to your home decor, but you don't need to go big to make a huge style statement. Mini chandeliers, sometimes called chandelettes, work well in a variety of settings and are a popular alternative to large, traditional chandeliers. Think of a mini chandelier as piece of jewelry for your home -- a little can go a long way. If you're not sure where you would use one, try hanging a mini chandelier in one of these places.
Top 5 Chandelier Styles
Whether you are building your dream house or just sprucing up your current home, a chandelier is a great way to add ambiance and decoration to a room. Chandeliers and pendants aren't just for formal dining rooms. The right chandelier can look great in any room. Although chandeliers come in a wide variety of styles, let's start with the top five.
Chandelier Trends
Looking for a way to simultaneously brighten and dress up your home? Chandeliers are the perfect solution. Chandeliers are available with many arms, multiple tiers, and shades as well as with more simple designs and streamlined structures. Look for a chandelier light with a large presence for a big room and one with a smaller profile to use in a diminutive room; the size of your chandelier doesn't matter, only its size in comparison to the rest of your home decor.
Best Youthful Pendant Necklaces
Young people know how to accessorize an outfit. Whether you are young yourself or just young at heart, hip pendant necklaces will quickly update a basic pair of jeans or workday ensemble. Hang one of these pendants on a long necklace chain and you'll have a piece of jewelry that will stylishly take you through the day and into the evening. Youthful pendant necklaces may be made of sterling silver, gold or platinum. Necklace pendants are frequently embellished with diamonds and gemstones, and youthful pendant jewelry is no exception. Add some of these necklace pendants to your necklace collection and you'll always have stylish jewelry to wear.
Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame. Replacing a standard frosted glass pendant light or a boring brass chandelier with something unique and tailored for your style will pull together all the elements of a room and highlight the architecture of a home.
How to Clean a Chandelier
Chandeliers can be the stunning focal point of your room, but these dramatic light fixtures are also great at collecting dust and cobwebs. You can keep your chandelier sparkling by dusting it regularly and cleaning it thoroughly twice a year. To learn how to clean your chandelier using both the wet and dry methods, keep reading.
How to Choose a Chandelier
Chandeliers are more than just a way to illuminate a room. They add style and become part of the home decor. Like any decorative piece, the right chandelier can make a big difference in the look and feel of a room. A large or ornate chandelier will overwhelm a small living space, and a small, simple one will not look right in a formal dining room. Here's how to choose the best lighting for your home.
4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style. They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.
How to Select Kitchen Lighting
If your kitchen looks tired, why not update it with brand-new kitchen lighting? New kitchen pendant lights or a unique chandelier could be just what your space needs for a fresh makeover. In fact, the right kitchen light fixtures add that extra touch that makes a kitchen shine. Whether you want to install recessed kitchen lighting in your home or just want to update a few existing light fixtures, the following tips can help you find lighting that will last for years and keep your kitchen looking great. Read on to learn about selecting kitchen lighting for your home.
Why You Need Chandelier Earrings
If you adore fancy decor, then you will love chandelier earrings. When you enter a fancy ballroom, the first thing you see is the stunning chandelier glistening above your head. Chandelier earrings have the same effect on a smaller scale. Your eyes will automatically be drawn to the sparkling, dancing gems and shiny metal. If you're looking to expand your jewelry collection, consider earrings that look like miniature chandeliers. Many styles are available to bring color and shine to your earring assortment.
How to Choose Meaningful Silver Pendants
Because they're available in so many different styles, sterling silver pendants are perfect for personalizing a look and expressing who you are. Whether you're shopping for yourself or you're looking for a great jewelry gift, be sure to choose a necklace that will send the right message.
How to Care for Silver Pendants
Sterling silver jewelry is stunning; your collection of silver pendants is probably the focal point of your jewelry assortment. If you love to collect silver jewelry and wear a different sterling silver necklace every day, then you'll want to protect your jewelry investments by taking excellent care of your silver pendants. Silver jewelry is not high-maintenance, but it does require some special jewelry care that other pieces may not. Use these tips to keep your sterling silver necklaces and pendants looking amazing at all times.
Tips on Buying Tiffany Lamps
Easily recognizable with their colored glass shades and heavy iron stands, Tiffany lamps were first created in 1895 as part of the Art Nouveau movement. They bring the beauty of a stained glass window into your home, whether you choose small table lamps or hanging pendant fixtures. For the look of an authentic Tiffany lamp without the high price tag, shop for Tiffany-style light fixtures. Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect one for your home.
Best Styles in Drop Earrings
Classic and versatile, drop earrings may be paired with any wardrobe option to complete a look and add sparkle and shine. Drop earrings include a variety of style categories, including teardrop earrings, chandelier earrings and dangling earrings. Earrings with dangling gemstones, teardrops, charms and chandeliers go well with other jewelry selections and make great jewelry gifts. Choose teardrop earrings, dangling earrings, chandelier earrings and other drop earrings for your collection with our list of the best styles.
Top 5 Ways to Wear Citrine Chandelier Earrings
If you love to dress in dark, neutral colors year-round, then add some citrine chandelier earrings to your wardrobe. Citrine earrings will add bright, glowing light to any simple outfit without diluting the edginess you desire in your look. Like the sparkling yellow eyes of a beautiful owl in the night, citrine jewelry accents an outfit with rich yellow hues. Keep several pairs of lovely chandelier earrings handy, and it will be easy to accessorize jeans, dresses and skirts with this extravagant gemstone jewelry.
Top 10 Sterling Silver Jewelry Styles
Sterling silver is a fabulous metal for jewelry of all kinds. Sterling silver is a composition of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent metal alloy. Copper is a popular alloy for sterling silver because it makes silver more durable. Sterling silver jewelry allows you to add this precious metal to your jewelry box without breaking the bank. Sterling silver jewelry is shiny and lustrous, making it a jeweler's favorite; plus, sterling silver is malleable enough to be formed into different jewelry designs and has a shade that is neutral and stunning at the same time. Whether you are looking for silver rings, sterling silver charm bracelets or another silver jewelry selection, our top 10 list will inspire you.
How to Measure Lampshades
While deciding to redecorate a room, the idea may start small -- a fresh coat of paint, an accent chair to warm up a bare corner or new pictures to hang on the wall. Somewhere along the line, you notice that you need new lamp shades. Or maybe you find the perfect table lamps but aren't too crazy about the shades. It is quite easy to just change out lamp shades. Before running off on a quest to find the perfect new shades for your table lamps and floor lamps, ensure that they will fit by measuring your current lamp shades.

you resonate my situation - except that I posted something similar spring of this year - my local voc school has a hobby class as intro to welding - a workshop atmosphere where you can learn ANY method - I did MIG for one night - then Stick for a little more than about a 1/2 of the classes and have been working on TIG since with next week being my last class. Craigslist is your friend (along with THIS forum and the weldingtipsandtricks.com site). I bought a used Thunderbolt 225 AC/DC as a stick machine of CL and just recently acquired a MM211. My future goal is to get the stinger and another bottle set up for a scratch start TIG - point is - get into a hobby class with an instructor to start. Then use CL to get some equipment (or buy new if you have the $) - then as EVERYone states and states again and again for completely valid reasons - get time burning metal .....good luck.Miller Thunderbolt 225 AC/DC

Thank You!
Thanks everyone! Got lots of good information.
I been pondering a community collage class. I guess in reality its alot different than computer science which i studied there. For that, it was best to actually learn at home on a computer. The teacher just basically told us what chapters to read, and then handed out tests. For those eager for that there was much more to learn on your own with your computer, with forums and such, back then youtube wasnt around, so that was kind of my hesitation. I figured I could read, watch practice, read practice practice and just keep on welding or practice welding on anything or ever piece of scrap i could find as well as a cart for a welder and nice table even a stand for a grinder. One thing I do have is fitting and using a tape measure very well being a finish carpenter. But it seems that maybe Its time to reconsider and take the class or even classes. I still need to get a welder to start toying with and practice practice practice, but with a class I would have instruction and someone to run things by to assure that what I am doing is actually right!
I really do appreciate all the input. Thank you to all that replied. That MM211 Sounds like an awesome machine and I was looking it over. I just wish it was a hair cheaper to get started. I want to get something asap. Just so I can start getting a feel for it.
Thank You again EVERYONE,

I am in Pittsburgh, PA.
I am considering a used one, but since i dont know to much about it. I dont want to get shafted. I guess in the end I will get a smaller welder and as I learn just move up to the one i really want/need.
Its tough i been looking at so many. I just want one that I will be able to learn on good. I would like to get the best one I can buy but dont want to put out like 1000 bucks just for a welder right off the bat. SO its been very stressful.Last edited by pmac; 12-12-2012 at 07:21 PM.

I was looking at some, I have a guy sending me pics of a lincoln weld pak 150 or 155 something like that, he will be sening pics tomorrow. But I think i will just try to get one to get started and when I get good enough just move up to a better one. But that could all change by tomorrow or even later this evening. Its been rough looking at so many with so many different specs etc.
I would contact this guy and find out where he got his HH190

Please find a session roundup of environmental health bills in Maryland below. The first two, infant formula containers and cadmium in children's jewelry, are the bills that passed.
Public Health – Containers of Infant Formula Manufactured with Bisphenol A – Prohibition– HB 4(Hubbard)/SB 151 (Frosh)
BPA is linked by hundreds of scientific studies to cancer, birth defects, developmental problems and other adverse health effects. This bill bans the use of the toxic chemical bisphenol A in infant formula containers, starting in 2014. The bill also requires the state (Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC) cease to purchase formula in containers made with BPA. House Bill 4 passed the House of Delegates by a vote of 137-0 and SB 151 Senate by a vote of 46-0.
Health – Cadmium in Children's Jewelry – Prohibition – HB 145 (Hubbard)
Cadmium is a heavy metal and a known carcinogen, as well as a developmental and reproductive toxin that can be found children's jewelry. HB 145 bans the sale, manufacture, or distribution in Maryland of children's jewelry containing cadmium. The bill passed unanimously out of both chambers.
Healthy Kids, Healthy Maryland – Toxic Chemical Identification and Reduction – HB 759 (Waldstreicher) / SB 638 (Benson)
There are over 1,400 chemicals in use that are linked to cancer, reproductive, or developmental disorders, and tens of thousands more in use that have not been tested for safety. This bill requires Maryland Department of the Environment create and maintain a comprehensive list of chemicals of concern known to cause cancer, reproductive or developmental harm, neurotoxicity, hormone disruption, or which are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic. This bill will educate consumers about chemicals of concern by publishing them online, making them available for parents, schools, and businesses. The act will empower MDE to replace the worst chemicals with safe, affordable alternatives. The bill did not receive a vote in either chamber.
Agriculture – Pesticides – Use, Release, Sale, and Purchase Reporting – HB 660 (Frush)/ SB 785 (Montgomery)
Scientists regularly find dozens of pesticides in people. A growing body of evidence points toward a link between pesticides and learning and developmental disorders, miscarriage, birth defects, and other disorders. This bill establishes a centralized reporting system—for both certified applicators' pesticide use and dealers' purchase and sales of restricted use pesticides—under Maryland Department of Agriculture for access by government agencies, scientists, and the public.
Environment – Reducing Lead Risk in Housing – Lead Paint Dust Testing – HB 1033 (Oaks)/SB 840 (Gladden)
This bill safeguards the health of children living in older housing stock by requiring all landlords to conduct lead dust testing before a new tenant moves in. The bill strengthens current law which permits landlords to simply do a visual inspection for lead hazards instead of actual lead testing.
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene – Workgroup on Cancer Clusters and Environmental Causes of Cancer – SB 574 (Muse, Raskin, and Benson)
Requiring the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, in consultation with the Maryland Department of the Environment, to convene a workgroup to examine issues including research processes, communication, research by academic institutions, and the need for annual reports relating to the investigation of potential cancer clusters in the State and potential environmental causes of cancer; requiring the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to report findings on or before December 1, 2011; etc.
Environment – Permitting Process – Environmental Justice Review – SB 752 (Benson, Frosh, Madaleno, Montgomery, and Ramirez)
Requiring the Department of the Environment, in consultation with the Commission on Environmental Justice and Sustainable Communities and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, to develop maps that identify environmentally stressed communities in the State; requiring an Environmental Justice Review as a condition of issuing or renewing specified permits; etc
County Boards of Education-Green Product Cleaning Supplies — HB 650
Requiring a county board of education to adopt specified written policies relating to the procurement of green product cleaning supplies subject to specified exceptions; requiring specified county boards to provide specified notice to the State Department of Education under specified circumstances; etc.
Agriculture – Pesticides – Regulation of Atrazine Study — SB 582 (Montgomery)/HB 659 (Frush)
Requiring the Department of Agriculture, in consultation with specified stakeholders, to study the feasibility of prohibiting the use, distribution, or sale of atrazine in the State, including a pesticide that contains atrazine; requiring the Department to report its findings to the Governor and committees of the General Assembly by December 15, 2011; etc. The House version would have prohibited the use, distribution, or sale of atrazine, including a pesticide that contains atrazine, in the State.
Agriculture – Commercial Feed – Arsenic Prohibition – SB 417 (Pinsky)/HB 754 (Hucker)
Prohibiting a person from using, selling, or distributing commercial feed intended for use as poultry feed that contains roxarsone or any other additive that contains arsenic.
Reform of the Federal Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 – HJ 3 (Hubbard)
Expressing support for the reform of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976.

Hey guys,
Earlier in this forum I started a thread discussing the flow rate of peristaltic pumps. However, after doing some calculations I've decided to go with a gear pump instead. After locating a suitable unit, I ran a test today with a blood pressure cuff bladder:
Since for this test I did not use a check valve between the pump and the bladder, after shutting the pump off I expected water to come gushing out due to the bladder's elasticity wanting to it deflate but to my surprise, it stayed in this state for a quite a long time... Examining the pump intake and the inner diameter of the rubber hoses, the latter being about 1/8'' (3mm), it seems that water is leaking very slowly out of the hose.
I realize that this is a pretty nice built-in safety system since it will cause the sub to eventually rise to the surface, if no pumping input is applied for a long time. The question is, if the ballast intake is to be located about 1 inch below the water surface through the WTC endcap, will I even need to install a valve to prevent water from entering the bladder when it is empty? The inside of the WTC will be at standard atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa), will that be enough to counter the outside water pressure at 1 inch below the surface?

Jun 4, 2013"Quentin Tarantino has once again proved why he is one of the greatest and most authentic directors making films today, filled with gut-busting violence, Oscar worthy performances and some much comic relief. Django is one of 2012's best movies, by far." A+

Jan 31, 2013This film is simply epic, the directing is extraordinary the acting is brilliant and the script plays up to the actors perfectly. So far this film is number 1 on my list for 2013, all i can say is you shouldn't miss it!
Jul 23, 2013Historically, it's clearly off. But you see the plight of slaves in that era and can't not say this movie is one of the boldest that's ever been done. It's phenomenal, and while it is 165 minutes long, those minutes will fly by. It's raw, crazy, and just one damn good time.
Oct 12, 2013This is by far one of my favorite movies. I love everything western and this movie followed the journey of a slave turned bounty hunter named Django in his search to find and free his wife. This movie has a good story, tons of action, and some comedy. This movie was also made by Quentin Tarantino so you know its good already.

Jan 7, 2013This is the best film I've seen this year. Incredibly entertaining, hilarious and just satisfying to watch. All of the negative reviews seem to be from people who are offended by bad language and violence. Umm, don't go see a QT movie if you are so thin-skinned. For the rest of the adult audience, do not miss this one in the theaters. An amazing experience you will not soon forget.

Some wonderful performances in this film from jamie foxx leo dicaprio christoph waltz which is now one of my favorite actors is just wonderful in this film and samuel l jackson one of his most memorable performance with quotes like "who dis n***a on dat neigh" and dem MF aren't here to buy no mandingo". Beautifully written and well directed 10/10.

Dec 25, 2012Another triumph and masterpiece from QT. His use of a linear structure made it one of his most satisfying accomplishments if not one of his most emotional. The love story completely worked for me as well as the typical QT trademarks and explosive violence. A true American classic.
Jan 2, 2013Man, what a movie, WHAT AN AMAZING MOVIE !!! It was like a roller coater ride. I was pumped the entire time. I could feel the adrenaline. Everybody delivered a great performance, especially Jamie Foxx. I hope, for once, the academy will considered a good movie like this.
Dec 31, 2012I just saw this epic movie in the theaters, and wow is amazing! Quentin Tarantino is by far my favorite director after this movie. He doesnt do anything wrong esspecially in this master piece. The final shootout is insane to say the least! From begining to finish, this film does not dissapoint! Just see this non stop action movie and you will be blown away! 10 out of 10 definetly
Dec 25, 2012Classic Tarantino movie. Awesome action scenes, great characters, interesting story, hard to find something bad about it. Interesting spin on slavery. Great movie.
Dec 30, 2012
Dec 27, 2012
Dec 31, 2012The best Tarantino movie in my opinion, Django is a thrill ride full of laughs, tension and action that enthralls for all of it's nearly 3 hours. I hate needless violence and swearing in movies, but the gore and cussing never feel unnecessary due to the context, and in fact add to the immersion. A must-see.

Jan 11, 2013One of Tarantino's best films. The pacing is good throughout, but seems to be artificially quickened in a couple parts of the movie. Even so, there's enough here to keep fans entertained for the duration.
Jan 3, 2013

Jan 8, 2013
Jan 13, 2013The film is amazing. It contains everything you'd expect from Quentin and much more. dark humour, violence, great action, one liners and most of all its **** cool. Anyone one that marks this lower than ten doesn't know **** all about films...... and should be shot in the face!
Dec 30, 2012The best Tarantino movie since Pulp Fiction. All the actors are perfectly cast. Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo Decaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kerry Washington are all outstanding. I've already seen it twice and I can't wait to see it again when it comes out on blu-ray.
Dec 31, 2012This movie handles SO MANY genres at once or in sequence so perfectly that it creates it's own genre. That Genre is Tarantino. It's badass, funny, horrifying and absolutely bloody. If you love Tarantino's work, then this is definitely one of his best, if not THE best movie he's ever produced. Just see this epic movie. It's a goddamn masterpiece.
Dec 31, 2012Evocative, controversial, innovative. Another instant classic in Quentin Tarantino's already illustrious career. Recalls "Inglorious Basterds" revenge theme, cathartic and utterly fantastic.
Dec 29, 2012
Jan 2, 2013
Jan 6, 2013Fan-f*cking-tastic! Dynamite dialogue, sensational storytelling, and ravishing revenge. My OCD brain could not find a single fault with this movie. Absolutely loved it. Top 10 best movies I've ever seen.

Dec 28, 2012Django is a classic in my mind. It falters in the arena of plot, the final climax feels far more contrived than natural, but apart from that, the film is spectacular. The characters/performances are incredibly entertaining. All of them are. Cinematography is gorgeous, and fitting. It's a good time to be had, just leave your thinking cap at home.
Jan 2, 2013Thanks to a seemingly unending overflow of marvelous performances, a bitingly scintillating script, and the always-lovable auteurist techniques of Quentin Tarantino, "Django Unchained" makes for a truly gratifying film adventure and one of the greatest westerns I have ever seen.
Dec 26, 2012Tarantino at his best. Another unique and incredible story. Great acting and screenplay. Definitely the best movie of the year hands down. Jamie Fox isn't the best actor in my opinion but I thought he was great for the role of Django, also Samuel L. Jackson was classic as always!
Dec 28, 2012better/comparable to inglorious basterds. not as good as KB, PF, RD, DP, or JB. waltz carried the film and when he goes so does the film. still compared to the rest of hollywood its a 9. compared to tarantino its a 7.

Jan 12, 2013Best Tarantino movie till Pulp Fiction, and great script, also excellent casting for this ocassion, altough I expected to see Kevin Costner, Dicaprio did a really great job and of course Cristoph Waltz play looked so real, but best actor of the movie was Samuel L Jackson. Won't spoil anymore! See it by yourself.

Jan 11, 2013
Jan 11, 2013Quentin' s western is comedy, violence, and incredibly script with excellent actuation's remarking Di Caprio and Waltz. Totally good film. And the most important is that is fun
Jan 26, 2013This movie was awsome, i really liked it and i belive he is a true master. The cast was amazing and all of them created a movie that i was waiting to see for 6 months, definite must see
Jul 12, 2013This film is hilarious with over the top action scenes which Quentin pulls off very well of course like in his previous films. Yes, there is racism and controversial material but so what? It's something different which is what I like! anyway, Django Unchained really steers away from clichés. It's definitely a film I'd want to watch again.
Aug 9, 2013Django Unchained was an excellent, surprisingly light and utterly hilarious western from Quentin Tarantino. The movie surprised me at many different junctures and delighted throughout. This was a fantastic film!
Apr 28, 2013Excellent film. The performances from Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson were all fantastic and Jamie Foxx did very well also. The dialogue is captivating and it's great seeing DiCaprio as a villain for a change, as well as seeing Waltz as a hero.
Feb 15, 2013
Feb 26, 2013A great movie, with great actors and real good scenes in it. The soundtrack is one of the best movie soundtracks ever. The only problem is that the film doesn´t maintain the quality after waltz and dicaprio are gone and is therefore not getting the full score.
Aug 25, 2013A incredibly bloody and brilliant masterpiece by the ever brilliant Quentin Tarantino is smart, hilarious and shocking in equal measure. The film has been made with complete care and it shows with beautiful cinematography, fantastic acting and great directing. One of the best films to be released in 2012.
Feb 13, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Apr 17, 2013Best film of 2012. Best acting of 2012. It is a shockingly exciting
Jan 21, 2013Tarantino's masterpiece, Django Unchained is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen.
I felt that every kind of detail, even the small ones, were intentional, Tarantino though all the details, and put them in the absolute right place! -
Feb 19, 2013A ridiculous good time, one of Tarantino's most indulgent yet most thoughtful films yet.
A re-hash of Kill Bill, but with a refreshing setting and with a surprisingly brutal political theme. -
Feb 25, 2013Almost 3 hours and at no stage did it feel drawn out or too long. This trumps Inglorious Basterds and suits as Tarintino's best film. A funny, witty, slick, violent homage to spaghetti westerns set with the dark backdrop of the racist wild west.
May 27, 2013
Feb 20, 2013
Jan 13, 2013Tarantino's best since Pulp Fiction. Violent. Sentimental. Enthralling. The actors enliven the script under Tarantino's direction, and create a modern (south) Western spectacle that Tarantino fans will savor.
Feb 3, 2013This movie is, as the name implies, chainless or as the young folk say off the chain. Tarantino kills it again, with scenes that have you at the edge of your seat, heros that steal your heart, and antagonists that you love to hate. If you haven't seen it do your self a favor, get to a theater, watch Django unchained, and thank me later.
Mar 22, 2014Tarantino hits another home run. This ones out of the city not just the park. What a interesting movie. The characters are amazing. Waltz is the good guy this time and he is wonderful. Fox is wonderful. I really enjoyed this movie. Must see. If you like QT movies you will love it. If you don't like QT movies....what can I say.
Jul 4, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Jan 13, 2013Tarantino follows his formula and doesn't dissapoint. Django Unchained is a masterfully crafted film and is as entertaining and smart as anything he's ever done. Christoph Waltz deserves another Academy Award for an amazing performance.
Mar 16, 2015
Sep 1, 2014Another epic masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino. Once again, the perfect mix of bold and funny that we've come to know and love; and he does so with great help from Waltz, DiCaprio and Foxx.
Jan 8, 2013Django Unchained is Quentin's best film since pulp fiction. Its funny, sick, and extremely entertaining on all levels. Unlike his other films the movie never drags and mixes comedy and violence to near perfection.
Jan 30, 2013Another great Tarantino movie. Christoph Waltz is as amazing as "Basterds" and even Jamie Foxx is likeable. The storyline is creative, brutal, and effective. Full of shocks and hilarious gratuitous violence, Django is a film to be seen.
Jan 24, 2013
Feb 14, 2013
Jan 21, 2013
Jan 16, 2013Tarantino like Tarantino. Good plot, best game of actors, BEST THEME - western. And goddam, it's best soundtrack of all film industry about ten years.
Jan 20, 2013
Feb 11, 2013
Jan 20, 2013A violent classic spaghetti-western, Tarantino delivers yet again. An entertaining ride from start to finish, Django Unchained hands out some chuckles and gore-filled shoot-em-up sequences that solidify Tarantino's brilliance in directing, while also giving a dark reflection of the harsh brutality of slavery. 93/100.
Oct 7, 2013One of the best movies I have ever seen, I have seen this movie so many times and still can't get enough, do yourself a favor and watch Django Unchained,
Feb 6, 2013
Another strong, sparky and bloody entry in the QT canon. Although, creaking under its running time, it's not quite as uproariously entertaining as his last pseudo-historical adventure, "Inglourious Basterds."
What Tarantino has is an appreciation for gut-level exploitation film appeal, combined with an artist's desire to transform that gut element with something higher, better, more daring. His films challenge taboos in our society in the most direct possible way, and at the same time add an element of parody or satire.
The film doesn't play it safe, so neither will I. Instead, I'll say that it finds Mr. Tarantino perched improbably but securely on the top of a production that's wildly extravagant, ferociously violent, ludicrously lurid and outrageously entertaining, yet also, remarkably, very much about the pernicious lunacy of racism and, yes, slavery's singular horrors.

Ok folks, Kathy here.....got a little problem.
Someone I connected with about 3 yrs ago and have somewhat kept in touch with all along is now inviting me to his place this Sat. We have been intimate in the past but it was when I was still drinking. He does not drink much at all. Very little in fact. And we did not drink anytime we were together before.
The relationship, if you can even call it that, was at a time in my life where I was not clear in my mind what I wanted. We are talking and texting now and discussing getting together again. We do have a chemistry, work in the same industry and there is def a mutual attraction. I have told him I am not the same person I was 3 yrs ago. That alot of things have changed. I'm much more level headed and actually content with my life. But the attraction is so strong! It feels different this time. He says lets just keep it "simple" and not overthink anything and see what develops. I can agree with all that. My problem is I have not told him I am in recovery. Will that be a deal breaker? And if it is, so be it? I am who I am. I like who I am now. And I would so love to have someone in my life who truly cares about me. Everyone wants to be loved and give love. Just don't know if I need to admit anything to him until I find out if this is something that is going to move forward. I'm not interested in just a "one night fling" - If that is what I was looking for in life it would not be that hard to accomplish.
So my big question for the day...."Do I tell him up front or wait and see where this might be going relationship-wise??"
I welcome your comments or concerns.

Nats aim to keep up playoff push with homestand
Marlins look to get back on track behind Eovaldi in series opener
The Nationals have teased their fans with short-lived runs of success time and again this season, and although last week's five-game winning streak matched a season high and helped bring Washington back to .500 for the first time since the All-Star break ahead of Tuesday night's series opener against the Marlins, the Nationals still sit 8 1/2 games back of a Wild Card spot and 13 games out of first in the National League East.
This week's homestand begins a stretch of 19 consecutive games against the bottom three teams in the East, giving the Nationals one final chance to revive their playoff hopes. Meanwhile, the last-place Marlins have lost five of six heading into Tuesday night and look to get their Major League-worst offense going against reliever-turned-starter Ross Ohlendorf.
Ohlendorf will make his second start since spending three weeks on the disabled list with inflammation in his right throwing shoulder. He found himself caught in an offensive shootout in his return to action last Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Cubs.
"I was just glad to get back out there," Ohlendorf said after Wednesday's 11-6 win in Chicago. "I felt good. I wish I'd pitched deeper in the game for us, but our offense did an awesome job. ... I was really happy with my fastball tonight."
Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi bounced back from one of the worst outings of his Major League career by allowing just two runs over seven innings in a 4-1 loss to the Dodgers last Wednesday. After Eovaldi was touched up for 11 runs, nine of which were earned, against the Giants on Aug. 16, the six-hit, five-strikeout performance in a losing effort against his former team was a welcome sight.
"I think you saw tonight, maybe he just had an off day," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said of Eovaldi. "He looked really sharp, and he threw some great fastballs, well-located. He did enough to keep us in the ballgame. Offensively, we weren't able to push any runs across."
A lack of run support has been a common theme for Eovaldi all season. The Marlins have scored two runs or fewer in five of his last seven starts, a significant part of the reason why the 23-year-old right-hander has not won since July 12.
Nationals: Werth back in lineup after foot infection
• Jayson Werth was back in the starting lineup Sunday after sitting out Saturday's game with a right foot infection. Werth went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter against the Royals on Sunday.
• Bryce Harper's game-tying two-run home run on Sunday afternoon snapped a streak of 16 games without a home run for the 20-year-old outfielder, his second-longest homerless drought of the season.
Marlins: September callups not yet set
• With NL Rookie of the Year candidate Jose Fernandez approaching his innings limit in the coming weeks, the Marlins expect to bring up a handful of starting pitching options when rosters expand to a maximum of 40 players at the end of this week.
"We're still working on that," Redmond said. "We've talked about the guys we're going to bring up and trying to finalize the list of guys. We'll be bringing up probably at least a couple of guys that can start."
Among the names primed for possible callups are right-hander Sam Dyson and a pair of 23-year-old lefties in Brad Hand and Brian Flynn.
Worth noting
• The Nationals have secured a winning record in Interleague Play for the third consecutive season, finishing this season's slate 11-9 after Sunday's loss.
• The Marlins have scored three runs or less in each of their last five games.

After reading a few of his posts (John and new guys) I am starting to believe he was not actually a time traveler but more of an Edgar Cayce type of psychic and was actually psychically seeing events to come and that is why is time frame was off.

The AMD Phenom II X3 710 did not pose much of a thread to the Core i3 530 processor except in the OpenSSL and Apache benchmarks.
You really meant "threat".
Phoronix: Intel Core i3 530 Clarkdale On Linux
Earlier this month Intel rolled out their new Clarkdale processors that are built on a 32nm process and making them rather unique is that integrated on the dual-core Westmere-based part is an integrated graphics processor. The Clarkdale CPUs launched under the Core i3 and Core i5 brands (along with a Pentium version) and since their launch have received favorable reviews, well, under Windows. We have now received our Core i3 processor and have carried out various processor benchmarks under Linux to see how well Clarkdale runs with the penguins.
The AMD Phenom II X3 710 did not pose much of a thread to the Core i3 530 processor except in the OpenSSL and Apache benchmarks.
You really meant "threat".
aww, i bought my dad a new hard drive from newegg. i should've used the shopping links!
now that i think about it, it's not just good for phoronix. the more linux users that newegg knows their dealing with, the better.
Isn't this review so much different from the one dealing with intel i5/i7? What was the problem in that case?
Can we have some power consumption measurements also?
A quick look at NewEgg shows an AMD Phenom II x3 720 Black Edition for $110, we can assume the 710 is cheaper.
So basically, thrown up against a cheaper chip, it wins in the benchmarks? Good to see the prices scales are roughly correct there.
So glad to see I wasn't the only one to kinda take issue with this.
I don't mean to be a pain, but comparing it to the X3 710?
I know clock speed doesn't mean as much anymore, but the 710 is only a 2.6 GHz part, either the dual core Phenom II X2 545/550/555 or the Athlon II 250/255 would have been a much better match, preferably the Phenom II X2 because of the L3 cache like the i3.
Dual rather than tri core, and both the tdp and clock speeds of all these models are far closer to Core i3 tested, not to mention the prices being more comparable too.
While I apreciate having an AMD cpu in the mix in these comparisions, the choice of cpu model made little sense, almost reads as if they wanted AMD to look poor in comparision...
To be fair, I have no doubt the reason the 710 was used is simply because it was the only comparable AMD cpu on hand, the same one they acquired for the "AMD Phenom II X3 On Linux" article, so I suppose my real gripe is that not once did they mention the reasons the Phenom did worse in the tests, and how that particular model was disadvantaged from the start.

I think the "wanted" poster is very cool
but geez, come to think of it, this Plushy fellow has no more color than a polar bear
I think Tomas and Plushy should both take a trip to SoCal and spend a day on the beach with Evan. He just looks so healthy and natural compared to both of them
Warning; this post is not so serious

Leave those 2 white boys to Euros . I believe Evgeni will make an appearance at Euros. Also in Euros is my boy, Michal. Don't forget that, and of course, we will have another look at Brian.
Come to think of it, I'm now wondering about 4CC more than the US Nats.
Silly me, for sure, because every time I hear something called King of the Forest, I think of Bert Lahr and the Wizard of Oz: (MGM has had the original removed, but:
I found your post very interesting, because the reason you like Evan is the reason that I don't like him as much as other skaters, though I admire his consistency and his work ethic. Based on exhibitions and other like skates, to me, Evan is a whole lot better off skating to other types of music instead of skating the same old program to different warhorses. He seems a lot more comfortable, and dare I say even expressive when skating to his non-warhorsey exhibition music. Instead he chooses the same sort of classical warhorses season after season, and he slaps his same old choreography on it instead of taking the beautiful music and making it his own. After all, when you hear Rhapsody in Blue--is the first thing you think of really 'Evan Lysacek'? To me, it's Ilia Kulik.
To be honest, I don't think Evan's choice of music means he has superior taste in music at all (I remember him saying that he's never heard of Tosca a couple of seasons ago!). To me, skating to tired old warhorses season after season with minimal differences in choreography just shows a lack of creativity and a desire to stay firmly boxed in one's 'safe zone,' even if said safe zone does not even really fit so well. To you, Evan may bring intenstiy, passion, etc to his programs but to me, I think the famous and beautiful music does half the job for him already....
I don't think it's shallow to knock Evan for his lack of musicality...Joubert and Plush get the same criticism anyways. It's not like anyone here has EVER said Joubert and Plush handle musical interpretation the way skaters like Jeremy Abbott or Jeffrey Buttle do.
Last edited by evangeline; 11-16-2009 at 12:26 PM.
Actually, I can't say I really thrill to Jeremy Abbott that much. Saw him live at Liberty, and can definitely take him or leave him. In the style that he skates, Patrick Chan was better. Ryan B OTOH rocked the house.
Evangeline, I love this post you just made ......but..........
I was NOT being serious, OK. I was particularly giving Evan big credit for the things you just pointed out. I have no idea about Evan's taste in music and felt like having a little fun. Looking at Evan's costumes and ridiculous "George Hamilton" tan make me wonder about Evan's taste about much more than just music.
I think it is OK to try and have some fun and humor (even failed humor) can be better at times for all of us.
Medusa began the post I replied to by stating "Joubert is NOT a musical skater."
I thought I would try to parody some of her words and several other posters.
I find that people who claim that "Evan's skating drives them to despair," while others talk as if they actually know him offers rich ground for parody and satire. I am surprised that you, a native English speaker did not get it.
So I agree with you - because you just said EXACTLY what I was making fun of.
I will try harder next time. I will even translate to Greek so seniorta will have a chance to laugh or get upset with me for the right reasons.

[QUOTE=cloudkicker09;429930]I have to completely agree, I cannot stand Evan as a skater or as a person, he just comes off as such a jerk, whenever I see his interviews.
Don't understand where you get this impression. Evan is never snide. He is always a gentleman - very courteous and well spoken. I have met him numerous times. He thinks before he speaks and in my opinon since I have known him for years, he's a classy guy.. At the Chicago media summit Ralph Lauren party, he was there with his parents and gave a wonderful speech.
I remember reading Weir's comments last Spring. He was talking about working with Wislon for the first time (although I think he made it all up to fool the judges because his choreo looks the same to me ).
Weir did say, "I was told I need to end with a big crescendo and to show more energetic footwork LIKE EVAN DOES."
I think what Weir said is true - but I don't see Evan's IN getting any better at the end, but the music does get louder and he gets more frantic so it fools the public and the judges. Call it the curse of CoP steps!
I worked my way through music school playing Pop/Rock music and I like all types of music, even some American country/bluegrass ( I "Alison Krause and Union Station" - maybe because Alison is a German-American girl.
If I ever meet her I will offer her a chocolate bar but will not call her the "f" word
The only music I am not too fond of is certain types of Euro techno music and most American techno and hip-hop music. Maybe because I am just older - and I get it if that music was not written for my ears.
I have a dog named Martha - after Paul McCartney's song "Martha My Dear" which Paul happened to compose for his own dog. Beatles trivia ja, ja
Anyway, I still doubt if a certain Greek lady gets even something as obvious as the '"healthy and natural" comments about Evan and the pale Euro boyz.

I don't care for criticisms of skaters' personalities. As far as I'm concerned, their job is what they put out on the ice. Anything else is pretty irrelevant... if not sheer gossip. Small incidents can get blown up and distorted in the repetition and analysis -- in the process somebody's character can get assassinated and they never have a chance to defend themselves.
I'm not wild about Evan's skating but I have absolutely nothing against him personally. If anything I admire his work ethic and determination immensely.
Praising skaters' virtues is certainly more pleasant. It's also irrelevant, but does no harm.
(Well, on second thought, exaggerated praise is not particularly beneficial to the soul. And then, I don't know if it happens in skating, but celebrities have PR machines to make it look like they're saving the world -- I find it hard to take any of it seriously. If they were really that selfless they wouldn't have PR machines.)
Perhaps it's best to focus on the skating. A novel idea!
http://www.tomasverner.com/5065.photodetailimage.ashxMaybe Tomas should make a quick trip to Belgium and see if Kevin could lend him one of his more exotic costumes
but uuh if you wanna see him tanned, look for some summer pictures or ones from the show in Prague last april. He went skiing shortly before :D
Oh pleeeeeeaaaseee, dont underestimate my intelligence.And since Gs I have enriched my vocabulary a lot!The only reason I didnt get the humor is because in your post there were plenty of things that usually you bring up in other threads too when you speak seriously. There were not as many exaggerating stuff in your speech so I would think it was sarcasm all over.
Stuff like that have been said many times and they might be real afterall. Marton's mess of a Tango, or Joubert looks , or Plush mullet or Evan -showman are pretty much true anyway, what was the sarcasm about them?
I m not native and I certainly dont have B's and Med's fluency(but i take notes) but I can get most things here, it is not like I needed the Britannica to read your post
oh with that I laughed, it was a joke.

It is on a square street along with other hotels. In front of the hotel there was a very nice small park but it turned out to be private. We have booked a twin room but on site it turned out to be a double with additional bed, which made it almost impossible to maneuver in the room. Nice and clean private bathroom, LCD TV but only three channels available. Cheap continental breakfast and nice view. However, there were only two computers downstairs, taking coins and it was quite expensive to use those as the connection was very slow and the 50p for 10 minutes was a ridiculous rate. It is a better option to take your laptop with you as Wi-Fi is available in the rooms. Luggage service offered, but anyone can get access to the luggage room and it seemed quite unsafe.

How do we build a healthy community?
Linda Satchwell Staff Writer 12/16/2009Debora McDermed, Ph.D., of Clairville and Portola, brings 20 years' experience in human development and relations to her current work.
Typically, psychologists help individuals; McDermed helps to heal communities. Currently, she's working on a community project in Tahoe-Truckee that provides insight into the process she employs to create healthy communities.
The Tahoe-Truckee project came out of the current economic and cultural times, said McDermed, which has reduced people formerly making $200,000 a year to now applying for food stamps.
Further, in the schools a state-required reconfiguration forced busing, moving teachers and ethnic integration. Parents "went to war, clouding it in 'What's best for my kid,'" said McDermed.
Focus, a nonprofit group funded by wealthy community members, went to work to fill the breach. They hired McDermed to initiate a two-year project that addresses community problems "from a causative point of view ... in other words, if we just do training—how do we get along, it's not going to help, because the thinking that goes on behind the behavior hasn't changed," explained McDermed.
"You tell people, 'Be nice, speak respectfully, share your opinion, accept diversity,' that all sounds good, and sometimes it works, but not when everything else is also cratering."
Getting to the causative factors that make a community become angry and divided involves giving people an understanding of how healthy community occurs. The process starts with healthy thinking according to McDermed.
"You can't deny the circumstances," she said. Normally, money would be thrown at a problem, providing a sufficient fix. Now communities don't have that option in economically difficult times.
"They hit the wall with what they would normally do, and that provoked a window of opportunity for the work I do," said McDermed.
Her training starts with a recognition that thinking is at the forefront of behavior. McDermed gave an example, a community leader making a decision that seems unfair to residents. People tend to say, "He's causing me stress; it's his decision that's causing it."
Instead, people give themselves the ability to change things when they ask, "Where's my power to help my community make the right decisions and take the right actions?"
But that's not what people usually do.
According to McDermed, "That's not the question people ask when they wake up in the morning. They wake up and go, 'I'm going to go get that SOB and give him a piece of my mind.'"
The thought cycle begins with thought, moves through feeling to action or behavior, and ends with results. All of our cultural emphasis, however, is three-quarters of the way through the cycle: on behaviors and actions.
"Very little of it is feelings, and almost nothing addresses our thinking," she said.
As an example, McDermed profiled "No Child Left Behind." She said it's behavior-based, emphasizing testing and score results, and involving an elaborate plan to have all schools take tests to show whether kids are learning and then to fix behaviors around that if they are not.
McDermed asked a different question, however: "What are the factors that has a child learn? It's not just the regurgitation of material. It's the psychology of the child, their well-being, their relationship with the teacher and relationship with other students.
"Well, that didn't get any attention whatsoever ... that's what we've been living with for the last eight years. Some of the best teachers deal with thinking and feeling, and now they're quitting."
This approach is typical of our culture said McDermed. We're quick to work on behavior, and in good times it's sometimes enough to create sustainable change.
It doesn't work at all in difficult times. McDermed quotes Einstein in this regard: "You can't solve a problem at the level of thinking that created it," and offers a compelling example of the power of thought at work.
You look at a mirage in the desert, "and you're sure it's water, you're absolutely certain it's water. No one could convince you it's not water. That's what you see, so that's what is for you. But the closer you get to it, the more you realize your seeing was somewhat incomplete—it's actually a reflection of something."
In the same way, when people see a contentious situation in a certain way, it can cause it to appear that way.
When people look at the process of thinking, free themselves from merely reacting to circumstances, regain power by not blaming their past history or present circumstances, they can reach what McDermed terms "equilibrium," involving a "healthier state of mind where (people) aren't so angry, they're looking at (the problem) more as an interesting puzzle to be in, a kind of challenge."
When individuals gain some distance from the situation, they begin to realize that "the way they perceive it has something to do with the way it is for them."
The next step is to free themselves from that limited perception, to start "seeing and doing differently."
In a community, "if they're pretty sure that somebody's out to do them wrong, and they start to live inside that thinking, that is their experience.
"Now, what happens when they shift the lens? Well, it starts to look different out there; it starts to look like there's something different we can do. More options show up, more out-of-the-blue thinking, more creative, innovative ways of resolving things show up."
McDermed has used her technique successfully in classrooms, engineering firms, communities like Truckee and other venues. The methodologies have been tested successfully over the past 32 years she said.
"Though you can't measure consciousness, you can see its effects. So, when people are in a healthier state of consciousness, they're not greedy, angry, mean, selfish. And, when they're in an unhealthy state of mind, all bets are off. Anything can come out of the nicest people otherwise."
Though she said she couldn't detail all she does to create this healthier state of consciousness, she could say, "You have to show people how experience is created moment to moment for them, and then in their community, how it's created. Once that starts to be in place, people's natural tendencies towards more healthy, wise thinking, creative thinking, automatically occurs. Automatically."
Further, there are specific steps to teaching individuals how to do this. According to McDermed, only 15 percent of a target group is needed to reach the tipping point towards successfully and sustainably creating positive change.
McDermed said whether a community is working together successfully or tearing itself apart, she can say, "Unequivocally, what fostered it in the first place is the way we think."
Moreover, to heal the rift in a divided community, "relationship is number one." There are tangible methods used to provoke a higher level of thinking and willingness to come together "in a way that lends itself to resolution."
McDermed exudes confidence and hopefulness. Human beings have the innate power to create the changes they want to see in their communities she said. Her message to the members of the community is to "open their awareness so they will be more knowledgeable than they were, and they will be inspired to come at (problems) from a different point of view."
