Home, squeezed home: Living in 200-square-feet
Despite their diminutive spaces, the houses have fully functioning kitchens and bathrooms.

The sleeping loft has a skylight in this tiny house; tiny homes first drew national attention in 2000 when the Tumbleweed Tiny House Co. launched the concept.
The people aren't really tiny, but their homes are: 150 to 200 square feet of living space, some with gabled roofs, others with bright cedar walls, compact bathrooms and cozy sleeping lofts that add up to living spaces that are smaller than the walk-in closets in a suburban McMansion.
These affordable homes -- which maximize every inch of interior space and look a little like well-constructed playhouses -- represent a radically fresh version of what it takes to make Americans happy.
Tiny homes first drew national attention when the Tumbleweed Tiny House Co., now based in Santa Rosa, Calif., launched the concept in 2000.
The idea gained visibility when it was featured in several national magazines and, in 2007, became the focus of the Tiny House Blog, established by Kent Griswold, a self-proclaimed "lover of tiny spaces."
The small homes, some on wheels, don't warrant many trips to the Container Store.
There are no kitchen islands, three-car garages or living rooms that are never lived in. In fact, their increasing popularity could be seen as a denunciation of conspicuous consumption and a rejection of the idea that more is, well, more.
Although the diminutive homes are made of high-quality materials, they are priced for a flagging economy. They sell for $20,000 to $50,000, less than the down payment on a two-bedroom condo in a trendy neighborhood.
"They're a statement that no one needs to be trapped in a mortgage they can't afford in a house that's too big for them anyway," said Amy Lynch, a consultant with BridgeWorks, a Minneapolis-based company that studies generational trends.
Lynch says tiny houses signal the end of America's love affair with enormous homes.
"The baby boomers raised their children," Lynch said. "Now, they're looking at all this stuff they have and thinking, 'What has meaning for me now?' Plus, these tiny houses are small enough that you can clean -- actually clean them!"
From 1950 to 2000, the size of the average American house increased by 230 percent, but home sizes have been declining since 2007, according to "The Small Spaces Trend," a March 2011 report by the Atlanta-based marketing firm Kleber and Associates.
It's hard to say how many tiny houses have been built nationally, but Jay Shafer, founder of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Co., says he sold more than 1,500 sets of plans. Shafer's self-published "Small House Book" has sold steadily since it came out four years ago. (Shafer sold Tumbleweed in September and started the Four Lights Tiny House Co., headquartered in Graton, Calif.)
During his first five years, Shafer said, he sold 10 sets of plans per year. But tiny houses' popularity took off after the housing bust and economic downturn in 2008. "Americans still like our stuff big and cheap, so a 100-square-foot house is not for everyone or big families. But people in tiny homes save a ton of money on heating and AC," Shafer said.
Despite the fact that tiny houses are, well, tiny, affordable-housing advocates are researching the possibility that attractive micro homes could one day complement or replace stigmatized trailer parks and low-income housing.
There are no micro loans for micro houses, because most tiny homes don't qualify for mortgages. Some banks do commonly offer personal, unsecured lines of credit, and some tiny-home owners get significant lines of credit from places such as Home Depot.
"I like the concept, and I'm intrigued. But it's so small that it's only good for a single person or a very-much-in-love couple," said George Rothman, president of Manna, a nonprofit affordable-housing builder and developer.
"There's also the issue of land and zoning, and those are huge issues."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Miami University softball team earned a split on the opening day of the Coach B Classic on Saturday. The RedHawks defeated Murray State, 7-1, in the opener. They then fell to Southern Illinois, 9-0, in five innings in the nightcap. Miami is now 4-6 on the season.
The RedHawks got the scoring going right off the bat in the opener against Murray State (7-6). Sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey led off the game with her first home run of the season. Two batters later, senior catcher Kayla Ledbetter made it 2-0 when she hit her own solo shot over the leftfield wall.
Miami added to the lead with three runs in the top of the third. With one out, sophomore designated player Jenna Modic walked. A double by senior first baseman Allie Larrabee moved Modic up to third. A single by sophomore third baseman Hailey Reed brought home Modic and made it 3-0. Two batters later, a double by junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb scored Reed and Larrabee and gave the RedHawks a 5-0 advantage.
After the Racers scored a run in the bottom of the third, Miami answered in the top of the fourth when a bases loaded walk by Reed scored Ledbetter. The 'Hawks completed their scoring in the top of the seventh when Lipscomb hit a solo home run over the centerfield wall, her second home run of the season.
Sophomore pitcher Amber Logemann got the start and allowed only one run in five innings of work for her first win at Miami. Lipscomb finished the game 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run scored. Ledbetter was 2-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored, while Reed finished 2-for-2 with two RBI and one run scored.
Southern Illinois (6-6) scored two runs in the top of the first and five runs in the top of the third to break the nightcap open. The Salukis added two runs in the top of the fifth to take a 9-0 lead and set up a run-rule win.
Miami's best chance to score came in the bottom of the fifth as it tried to avoid the run-rule. With one out, Shuey and senior second baseman Kristy Arbour hit back-to-back singles. Senior outfielder Brandi Hernandez reached on a fielder's choice as Shuey was retired at third. A walk by Modic loaded the bases with two outs, but the RedHawks were unable to bring a run home.
Shuey finished the nightcap 2-for-3. Arbour, Ledbetter and Larrabee also recorded hits for Miami.
The RedHawks complete play at the Coach B Classic on Sunday when they take on Kansas at 10 a.m. and have a rematch with SIU at 2 p.m.

Madrid Fashion Week: Davidelfin S/S 2012 – Show + Interview
Designer David Delfin has an anniversary to celebrate. He's been showing at Madrid Fashion Week for ten years now. Before showing his anniversary collection "Nowadays", an amusing short film had been shown.
The end of the film, a backstage scene, was simultaneously the start of the show. The singer Bimba Bosé opened it, then followed the hot model Sebastian Sauvé. Singer Alaska, Topacio Fresh and blogger Pelayo Diaz were in the front row.
For FashionDaily.TV i met Delfin shortly before his show, to talk about "Tutti Frutti", a digital print he developed for the latest collection and his anniversary.
London's Grime Revival
A few hours before the Brit Awards 2015, according to the legend, SKEPTA received a call by Kanye West.
YEEZUS asked the hottest UK Grime artist to collect his crowd, to be on stage with him during his song 'All Day' at the Brits. The underground-movement Grime reached mainstream.
Grime arose in the early years of 2000 in London, from UK garage, dancehall, hip hop and drum and bass. Grime means that MC's are raggedly rapping, rapid-fire mode to 135 – 140 BPM sounds.
What is happening in London at the moment – music and fashion-wise – is a Grime revival. SKEPTA, who already in the beginning significantly influenced Grime with his 'Boy Better Know' crew, went from underground-hero to pop icon. The East London phenomena Grime is becoming a global export-good.
Fashion has always had an important role in Grime. In Garage, which is the origin of Grime, people always wore show-off labels as Moschino, Versace or Iceberg. Expensive brands, which East London kids couldn't afford. Therefore they weren't allowed to access clubs.
They wore the uniform of the street: caps, sweat-suits and sneakers and started their own movement – away from the Garage clubs – at Grime raves, which kept being stopped by the police.
'The man' of the revival – Skepta – has produced the soundtrack from the SS 2015 collection by NASIR MAZHAR. At the Nasir Mazhar after party, SKEPTA rocked the audience with his 'Boy Better Know' crew.
Music and fashion-wise, Skepta is role model for an entire generation. His look is exemplary for the second wave of Grime. He is wearing NIKE hoodies of the combat-line, New Era Lake Elsinore 59FIFTY Fitted cap ("That's not me"), NIKE dealer-bags, Slazenger sweater, Helly Hansen jacket and NIKE Air Max 95.
One can study the look of Skepta and his gang by watching the video to 'Shutdown'. SKEPTA himself is wearing COTTWEILER from head to toe in the music video. Besides there are items by Stone Island, Supreme, Adidas and again and again: NIKE, the probably most important brand of the Grime revival.
There are many overlaps with the internet phenomena Health Goth, where it is also mainly about black performance wear, but GRIME is more gangsta, less sporty, plus it is a movement, where the background plays an important role, also fashion-wise.
Interview: Formel E-Rennfahrer Bruno Senna
Bruno Senna is not only the nephew of the big racer Ayrton Senna, but also – on short notice – the new 'Follow Your Nature'-protagonist of the German fashion brand MARC O'POLO. On short notice, because MARC O'POLO will only use Senna as an advertiser for one race, during the formula E-race at the airport Tempelhof.
How spontaneous the cooperation occurred, is visible at the branding. In-stead of sewing the brand-logo next to all the other logos on the racing suit, it was just put on with glue. Such a punk-attitude would have not been possible at the trough-and-through regulated formula one, at the rather young racing-series formula E this is not an issue.
At the press-conference in Berlin, thoughts were expressed about expanding the sponsoring over the complete second season. They seem to have gotten along well.
After the conference, which attracted a quite impressive amount of chirpy photographers, we have spoken to Senna about his casual-style, sponsoring and cooperation with MARC O'POLO:
When was the first time that you heard about MARC O'POLO?
I have heard about the brand a long time ago, but never knew exactly what it stands for. My sister had a few MARC O'POLO-pieces. She had brought them from Europe. But I just recently really got to know the brand, by working together.
You are obviously wearing MARC O'POLO at the moment. Do you think that the sponsoring will influence your wardrobe also besides press conferences?
I hope so. Unfortunately I only brought a small suitcase with me for this journey, otherwise I would take a few pieces with me. But maybe they will send some to my home. I like the comfortable pieces by MARC O'POLO. They have good basics. I don't really like things, that are too flashing. I'm not the type for that. Therefore MARC O'POLO is the perfect brand for me.
On the press photos, you are wearing a MARC O'POLO-t-shirt under your racing suit. Is that authentic?
We only staged that for the photo. Underneath our racing suits we have to wear long-sleeve, fire-proof tops with a high collar. Everything else is forbidden. In case we are expanding the cooperation with MARC O'POLO, we could think about clothes especially for the race, with branding.
Next to MARC O'POLO, the razor-manufacturer GILLETTE is one of your sponsors. How much are you thinking about your looks and your wardrobe?
When you are working as a brand-ambassador for a big brand, one has to take care how he presents himself. I am trying to wear rather comfortable clothes while doing that. I am from Brazil, where people prefer wearing the least possible. In public I am trying to protect my casual image and to be dressed appropriately. I like polo-shirts and stuff like that. I just shouldn't be too tight. At more formal occasions I am wearing a suit of-course but I prefer to stay casual.
Is it part of your cooperation with GILLETTE, to always appear clean-shaven in public?
Yes, it is like that. We have been working together since 2011 and since then I have to check to not leave the house with being shaved.
The current campaign by MARC O'POLO is run under the motto "Follow Your Nature". Which nature are you following?
I have always been interested in sport, outdoor-activities and competition. I can combine that very well at the formula E. There I have the competition without hurting my environment.
Are you also driving an electric car privately?
No, not yet. I was driving a Tesla once. But the car is simply too big. I live in Monaco, that is not a good city for big cars.

New York Fashion Week: Hood by Air AW 2015
HOOD BY AIR presented their new collection 'Daddy' in a cellar-like setting at the Wall Street, the centrum of finance.
The mastermind behind HBA, Shayne Oliver, showed classics from the world of fashion, like button-down shirts, sweaters and polo t-shirts in the typical unisex Hood by Air Silhouette. Therefore it came to an hybrid between polo shirt and dress. Or camel coat and tank top.
The models wore locks in-front of their mouths and tights over their heads, like burglars. The soundtrack of the show, total freedom, was ended drastically, followed by jazz, underlined with the statement of the Empire:
"I wanna show you a faggot really can run this company".
It becomes obvious how appreciated HBA is also in the art-world, when looking at the guests who attended the show, for example Klaus Biesenbach and Grace Coddington.
It seems that HBA, even after the diss by their once supporter A$AP ROCKY, is still very hip.

Hey folks,
I need your help. This morning I had an hour discussion with two nice ladies from the local Jehovah's Witnesses. While it was thoroughly entertaining and a good opportunity to eek out exactly how much propaganda is involved in their spin, I was caught unprepared and so ended up jumping around from evolution to biblical contradictions to authorship of the bible and ended with questions of theodicy. Unfortunately due to time constraints and lack of proper planning I was unable to follow through to conclusion any of my arguments beyond an initial introduction of said arguments. Possible because I wanted to cover everything in 30 min.
While I think I was able plant a few seeds of doubt, I wasn't all that happy with my tangent ridden session. Don't get me wrong it was still a blast!. Having said this I am delighted to say they will be returning next week Sat to do a 'bible study', which if I decide to record, might be my first youtube upload.
So…I was hoping to get whatever feedback you are able or willing to give. I would like to be in a position to provide a nice overall multi pronged consideration of their views…you know, a bit of everything, a smorgasbord of infidelity.
Any feedback…or not, would be fine…even Christian, Jwits, Jewish or muslim etc.
Meeting Jehovah's Witnesses bible study next Sat

Kent State Translator Receives Funds to Spotlight Spanish WorksPosted Nov. 22, 2010
Translation is sometimes considered a lost art. The task of translating the same words and ideas into another language and time period can be daunting. A translator has both the original author's and his own reputation at risk every time he or she sits down with a blank sheet of paper.
Dr. Kelly Washbourne, associate professor of Spanish translation in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages at Kent State University, looks to language as a challenge. His curiosity about other cultures and languages has earned him a $25,000 Translation Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
Out of 102 applications from scholars around the country, 20 grants were funded, only four of which were awarded the highest level of support of $25,000 each.
The NEA is a public agency devoted to supporting and bringing the arts to all Americans.
"My success comes from great mentors and colleagues," Washbourne said. "Education hasn't killed off my curiosity, and that's the number one thing that keeps me working and growing as a translator."
Washbourne is an editorial board member of Current Trends in Translation Teaching and Learning, a journal of translator training in Helsinki, Finland. He teaches the translation pedagogy seminar in the Translation Studies doctoral program in the Institute for Applied Linguistics at Kent State, the only program in the country that offers an undergraduate, master's and doctorate in translation.
Washbourne's favorite pieces to translate are those in which languages comes alive. He is drawn to works that are very language-oriented, works where "language is losing its mind, spilling over its borders."
Washbourne's grant is a critical translation, Legends of Guatemala, from the Spanish of Miguel Angel Asturias. The work will be published with the Latin American Literary Review Press in 2011.
In his proposal, he wrote that his goal is to make Legends a "contestatory, hybrid, foundation text - aesthetically and intellectually successful with new and initiated readers alike."
Washbourne selects pieces from writers who would otherwise never be read. He said that a translator can be like a megaphone for writers who do not have a platform.
His proposal also won a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipend; one of 85 selected this past spring from 1,023 applicants nationwide. The stipend is a summer research fellowship program that provides opportunities for individuals to conduct advanced work to enhance their capacity as interpreters of and contributors to thought and knowledge in the humanities.
A resident of North Canton, Ohio, Washbourne has been an associate professor at Kent State for seven years. He said that in translation, multiple versions of a text may be considered valid, depending on variables such as audience. He enjoys being in a classroom where a beginner translator can come out with solutions and have a wonderful instinct.
"I love to teach because I'm a lifelong learner," Washbourne said. "I just happen to have a job teaching."
For more information about the grant programs, go to www.neh.org or www.nea.gov.

For DS10 I'd imagine Prot would simply be easier at this moment, most of the bosses grant decent enough vengeance to put your Prot DPS on par or higher than what you could do as Ret and obviously with far more survivability. Ret sounds like you'd be spending most of your HP barely keeping yourself up if possible at all and not doing enough DPS.
Is there a thread on doing Aly?? Id like to do it but not sure how, more scared of the trash than anything else....lol
Just remember this about the trash: If the big birds are hitting you with their fireballs, your health is going to start dropping incredibly fast. Kill the two guys in the middle asap and then run to the nests and let the fireballs kill them, then run to one of the birds and let the fireballs from the other bird help you bring it down. After that, finish the other bird and trash is done. Easy!
2) Pull the two casters, when you see them about to cast Fieroclast Barrage and the two birds are about to start spewing their fire, Bubble.
3) Allow the two birds fire spew to kill the casters while you stand on them bubbled.
4) Run to the eggs, do circles around them until the fire kills them while AoE'ing the hatchlings.
5) Run to the birds, kill them.
I haven't tried it on 25m, but when I do 10m now it's not even close. You'd probably need Long Arm to get around fast enough to kill the suppressors. I'm not sure if throwing Light's Hammer across the room would be enough.
I will try it and report back, but it will have to wait until next week. I finally soloed 25H LK last night. (big thanks to Choice and the other posters over in his guide thread, which I apparently cannot link due to being a nub)
So I recently got my paladin to 85 to twink and solo lich king. Are there any other mount dropping bosses I can solo at 85?
Has Ragnaros been done? Without the Warbanner glitch that has presumably been fixed?
Slootbag though soloed DS normal 7\8 and if you look at his videos (around 550 item level, dps gear atm, but had less when he did them) there is A LOT of margin, which makes think that many heroic modes would be doable as well, I think morchok, yor'sahj, zon'ozz, hagara, blackhorn (if there's enough dps to let the boat survive), madness should all be doable on heroic. Ultraxion won't be doable by anyone this exp due to how HOT works, spine doubtful due to the dps requirements. The only boss he didn't solo on normal is spine and I believe it's doable cause paladins can control when to heal and avoid grips this way, the only problem is you can't outheal enrages and get 600k vengeance this time, you HAVE to kill it in 15 mins or instant-kill.
As a paladin that is more or less restricted to LFR/Heroic Scenario gear, would it be better to try as ret (506 ilvl) or get a sword/shield and go prot in my ret gear? I'm not really sure what I want to solo (25HLK would be nice), but I enjoy doing old content for fun.
And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
If prot isnt your main spec, GC = Gran crusader and you can find a detailed guide on LK 25 HC within the pally forum. Just remember to keep Sacred shield up, as at low ilvl your health might drop w/o it in some of the later phases (p3?).
Not sure if anyone has managed this one yet, just finished soloing Halfus 25H.
Another tight dps check, this time complicated by choosing how many adds to kill. Each add you kill sacrifices vengeance you could be using to kill the boss, which made me waste multiple attempts trying to feel it out. Settled on killing whelps + 1 drake and doing a straight burn on the boss. Total time was 6 min 12 sec according to bigwigs.
In unrelated news, I should probably post more often so I can actually post screenshots.

Volun-told - A supposedly optional event, award, assignment, or activity in which a person (or persons) are required to attend either by persons-in-charge nominating them or their peers expecting them to be there. The individual often has no say in the matter, and non-attendance in frowned upon.
I am so tired of seeing terrible people, being admired, for being terrible people.
I think slate was the one I killed, but I was just picking one at random to get one down asap. No trash was pulled with the boss, it was boss + his adds only.
I have started going through Icecrown Citadel with my 80 twink to see how far i can get, doing most bosses as Retribution im currently at 6/12 and going to continue later today.
If anyone is interested in watching, i'm uploading every encounter to the youtube in my signature.
Thanks to Sioni for my signature picture
Someone told me to post in this thread, in case someone might be interested.
I have soloed some Dragon Soul recently just to spite a guildie, so far killed in 10-man:
Morchok HC
Zon'ozz HC
Yor'sahj HC
Hagara HC
Ultraxion N
Here's the video of Hagara HC. The previous week went perhaps a bit better... Let's not spoil it too much, but I'll just say that you only die once, better make it count.
I hope you enjoyed watching it!

If you plan a California vacation in Southern California, expect sunshine and warmer weather year-round -- especially across Los Angeles, San Diego and Palm Springs. Northern California is more varied – San Francisco temps average between the mid 50s and high 60s, while Wine Country can sink into the 40s (winter) and peak in the 80s (summer). And you probably won't see snow in California, unless you're in Lake Tahoe or on a movie set.
Snag lower rates in California from mid-September to mid-November, and then again during winter after Christmas. Summer is peak season across California, especially in San Francisco and Wine Country. Join the paparazzi and celebrities during award season in Los Angeles (mid-January to late February) or the non-stop neighborhood festivals in San Francisco throughout summer.
Fuego at the Hotel Maya – A Doubletree Hotel (Long Beach)
Enjoy waterfront dining with great views of the Long Beach skyline and the spectacular Queen Mary. And be sure to order sangria (red or white) and guacamole!
Grandview Park (San Francisco)
Climb to the top of this park in the Sunset District for stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco.
Beachcomber Café (Newport Coast)
Hike through Crystal Cove State Park to find this California gem. Enjoy blackened swordfish tacos and margaritas with views of the ocean, Newport Coastline and Catalina Island. And if you hear a bell, look closely – it means another patron spotted dolphins.
Comedy and Magic Club (Hermosa Beach)
See if Jay Leno can make you laugh at this tiny Hermosa Beach club -- nearly every Sunday night he tests his pre-show material. Buy tickets well in advance, the show sells out quickly.
Armstrong Redwoods State Forest (Guerneville)
Beyond popular Muir Woods, venture further north to see towering, ancient redwood groves. This intimate forest is home to the 310-foot Parsons Jones Tree, and the Colonel Armstrong Tree, estimated to be over 1,400 years old. Set up camp at the adjacent Austin Creek filled with rolling hills, oaks and open grasslands.

Want to score deals without picking through last season's leftovers? Check out our ultimate shopping calendar and find out when to buy everything from boots to bikinis
If I had my way, I'd shop everyday. But certain things like work, social obligations, and lack of money limit me to a few shopping sprees a year. This means that when I get the infamous "shopping itch" I tend to splurge and buy all types stuff at once -- dresses, shoes, jewelry -- and it doesn't matter if it's on sale or not; for those few blissful hours I buy what I want until I'm out of cash.
At least that's how I used to shop. But after working closely with fashion stylists, I realized that my "buy-everything-at-once" urge wasn't always the savviest way to spend my money.
Click here to see our ultimate shopping calendar.
It's not rocket science, but if you hit the stores at just the right time, you're more likely to get the best selection at a great price. Every type of clothing actually has a particular time of year when it's best to buy. To nail down those dates, I called on my favorite celebrity stylists and fashion experts. They gave me the retail rundown on everything from winter coats to swimsuits, and together we created the ultimate shopping calendar. Mark these dates down next to your anniversary and dog's birthday to save some serious cash.

The current Connecticut Constitution, ratified in 1965, establishes a four-year term for the governor, commencing on the Wednesday after the first Monday in the January following an election.
The constitution provides for the election of a lieutenant governor, for the same term as the governor. The two offices are elected on the same ticket; this provision was added in 1962. In the event of a vacancy in the office of governor, the lieutenant governor becomes governor. Before the adoption of the 1965 constitution, the lieutenant governor only served as acting governor.
As of May 2013, Connecticut is one of 12 Democratic state government trifectas.
Current officeholder
The 88th and current governor of Connecticut is Democrat Dan Malloy. He was first elected in November 2010 and took office on January 5, 2011. He will come up for re-election in 2014 and his current term will end on January 7, 2015.
Malloy, before becoming governor, was mayor of Stamford, CT from 1995 to 2009 and, prior to that, a member of the town's Boards of Finance and Education. Before entering politics, he was a prosecutor in Brooklyn, NY, where he served for four years as an assistant district attorney. Malloy is a former trustee of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, a former president of the Connecticut Council of Municipalities, and a former member of the Stamford Cultural Development Organization. He and his wife, Cathy, have three sons.[1]
The state constitution establishes the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Connecticut Constitution, Article IV, Section 5
The supreme executive power of the state shall be vested in the governor.

Connecticut Constitution, Article IV, Section 5
The supreme executive power of the state shall be vested in the governor. No person who is not an elector of the state, and who has not arrived at the age of thirty years, shall be eligible.

Connecticut elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For Connecticut, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the first Wednesday following the first Monday in the January following an election. Thus, January 5, 2011 and January 7, 2015 are inaugural days.
Connecticut Constitution, Article IV, Section 1
A general election for governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary of the state, treasurer and comptroller shall be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November, 1966, and quadrennially thereafter.
Connecticut Constitution, Article IV, Section 1
Such officers shall hold their respective offices from the Wednesday following the first Monday of the January next succeeding their election until the Wednesday following the first Monday of the fifth January succeeding their election and until their successors are duly qualified.'

The vacancy procedure for the office of governor Article IV, Sections 18, 19, and 21.
Under any circumstances where the elected governor is unable or unwilling to discharge the office, the elected lieutenant governor shall, as soon as he takes the oath of office, become the governor and hold the office until the next regularly scheduled election.
The Governor of Connecticut is responsible for upholding the constitution and faithfully executing all laws (Article 5, § 12), is the head of Connecticut's military forces at all times other than when those forces have been called into national service (§ 8). Under § 11, he must periodically address the joint session of the legislature, with details of the current state of Connecticut's affairs and his suggestions for policy.
§ 13 gives the governor the prerogative to grant reprieves after conviction. However, Connecticut stands out for other states in that governor does not have the ability to grant pardons. Additionally, his right to grant reprieves does not extend to cases of impeachment.
Under § 15 and § 16, the governor has a veto on all bills, including appropriations, subject to a supermajority override by the legislature.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- adjourning the legislature when the body cannot agree on a time to adjourn itself, until a date he deems proper (§ 10)
- requiring written reports from any and all officers of the Executive branch on any aspect of that officer's job (§ 9)
- authorizing and signing all commissions given by the state of Connecticut (§ 14)
- See also: Compensation of state executive officers
In 2012, the Connecticut Governor was paid an estimated $150,000. This figure comes from the Council of State Governments.
The governor's salary is set by law. If it is raised or decreased, that change must be passed into law and does not take effect until the first election held after the law's passage.

Lyon's Three-Run Doubles Propels Baseball Past #23 Catawba 9-1
March 2, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) opened up a 3-1 ballgame with a bases-clearing double in the bottom of the fourth as the Falcons claimed a 9-1 win over #23 Catawba in baseball action on Tuesday afternoon at Joe Ferebee Field. The victory sends Pfeiffer to 9-10 overall while Catawba drops to 12-4.
A two-out single by Jon Gray (Granite Falls, NC) put the Falcons on the board 1-0 in the first. After a leadoff homer by Matt Wade (Chapel Hill, NC) and a RBI-groundout by Jacob Yates (Blairs, VA) put Pfeiffer up 3-0 in the second, Catawba tallied their lone run later in the fourth on a two-out triple by Chris Dula (Troutman, NC) down the right-field line.
The Falcons four-run fourth started with a bases-loaded walk to Mike Green (Brandon, FL) before Lyon quickly followed by emptying the bases with his two-bagger to right-center to for a 7-1 advantage. A Yates RBI-single up the middle and Gray sacrifice fly in the eighth added two more for Pfeiffer late in the eighth.
Yates and Wade each led the Falcons with a pair of hits, along with catcher Tyler Smith (Locust, NC). Dula put together a 3-for-4 afternoon for Catawba in the loss. Austin Campbell (Charlotte, NC) notched the win in relief tossing two innings allowing three hits with a strikeout. Catawba starter John Tuttle (Kannapolis, NC) suffered the loss tossing 3.2 innings allowing five runs on six hits.

|ACH Receives $250,000 Research Grant from Hyundai Hope On Wheels for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
All Children's Hospital is one of 41 recipients of the 2013 Hyundai Hope On Wheels Grants. In all, Hope On Wheels will award $10.25 million in grants this September in honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Since 2010, All Children's Hospital has received $350,000 from Hope On Wheels.
The funds will support the research of Dr. Gregory Hale, Medical Director of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, Blood & Marrow Transplantation at All Children's Hospital.
"This research will focus on the Epstein Barr virus, a common virus that stays dormant in most people after the initial infection, but reactivates to cause lymphoproliferative disease in cancer patients after transplantation, when the immune system is weakened," said Dr. Hale. "This disorder, called post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, causes significant and sometimes fatal complications. This research project supported by the Hyundai Hope on Wheels Grant will pilot a novel methodology of rapidly generating T-cells to destroy the virus after transplantation."
During the grant presentation, ACH patients participated in a "Handprint Ceremony." This is the program's signature activity, which captures patients' handprints. These handprints are placed on Hyundai cars that travel across the country to build colorful awareness of the program.
"Companies like Hyundai understand their unique ability to leverage their customer loyalty and purchases to do good for society at the same time," said Jenine Rabin, Executive Vice President of the All Children's Hospital Foundation." We are honored to be a recipient of this important gift that will support research for pediatric cancer."
Kyle Peters, an All Children's patient and cancer survivor, participated in the handprint ceremony and shared his story about his three-year battle with a brain tumor.
"My time at All Children's has had highs and lows," said Kyle. "There was good news and setbacks. Throughout my treatment at the hospital, everyone had a positive attitude. I knew I was going to beat cancer. After four surgeries, I have been in remission for over two years.
"The reason I'm here today and back in school playing baseball and basketball is because of research. Without the money to fund the research and find cures for cancer, people like me would not be able to walk out of this place."
"Kyle is one of the reasons why we do what we do," said Scott Fink, owner of Hyundai of New Port Richey and a member of Hyundai's Hope On Wheels Committee. "I admire his strength. Kyle spreads a positive message for everyone else facing these complex situations."

A "Power of Attorney" is a written document often used when someone wants another adult to handle their financial or property matters. A Power of Attorney is a legal form but is NOT a court form.
The courts generally are not involved with Powers of Attorney, however, if someone becomes incapacitated or unable to make their own decisions (e.g., in a coma, mentally incompetent, etc.) and needs another adult to make decisions for them, the court may get involved to order a legal Guardianship or Conservatorship for the incapacitated person.
The "principal" is the person who creates a Power of Attorney document and they give authority to another adult who is called an "attorney-in-fact." The attorney-in-fact does NOT have to be a lawyer, but must be a competent adult (18 years or older). The principal has the right to revoke or cancel the Power of Attorney at any time and may put a specific time limit in the document saying how long it is valid.
Talk with a lawyer if you are not sure how to prepare a Power of Attorney for your situation or if you need legal advice.
Power of Attorney Form & Legal Fact Sheet (MN Legal Services Coalition)
NOTE: The Minnesota Legislature also publishes a sample form at MN Statutes § 523.23 Statutory short form of general power-of-attorney. For more information on the definitions and other legal issues, read MN Statutes, Ch. 523.

The House Judiciary committee considering the Stop Online Privacy Act adjourned Friday with new new vote date set, reported the Guardian.
Hollywood media giants have heavily lobbied for the bill, that would crack down on online privacy, which they say has cost them billions in lost sales, according to the Guardian.
But several prominent web firms sent open letters to Congress, arguing the bill would halt innovation on the Internet, according to the Washington Post.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Tex., has introduced an amendment to address concerns that it would damage the infrastructure of the Internet, according to the Washington Post.
The debate is expected to resume when Congress resumes after the holiday break, according to the Guardian.

Even the box my save the dates arrived in were FABB!. Every since I mailed them out I have been receiving text messages just how CUTE they were.

I recently ordered my save the date magnets from here. The design was amazing and the quality is excellent. I even made a mistake with my order on one of the dates and I called customer care and they made the adjustments without charging me for another order of over 100 cards. They also sent me a book with previews of designs for my wedding invitation. I will definitely be ordering the invitations from them as well.

Results vs. Queens (2007-10-24 16:00:00)
October 24, 2007
|Pfeiffer Defeats Queens 1-0
|Wednesday, 24 October 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---The Pfeiffer men's soccer team defeated conference rival Queens University by a score of 1-0 Wednesday afternoon. The Falcons used an early goal by Matthew Harris to grab the lead and held off the Royals for the victory. Pfeiffer is now 9-6-1 overall and 5-3-1 in the conference. Queens falls to 7-5-3 and 5-2-2.
The teams came out playing smart and there were very few chances early on. In the fifteenth minute the Falcons got the onlygoal of the game off a corner. The corner kick found Brad Sisk on the back-post and he headed it back across the goal where Mathew Harris headed the ball into the back of the net.
Both teams played strong defensively and with the wet field both teams struggled to maintain control of the ball.
At halftime the score was 1-0 in favor of the Falcons.
The second turned into a very physical game, with both teams committing numerous fouls and several yellow cards being issued.
In the 62nd minute Matthew Harris intercepted a poor back pass and had a one v one with the goalie in the box but the Royals goalie made a great save to keep the Falcon lead at one.
The Royals put on a lot of pressure but the Falcons defense held strong and did not give up any good scoring chances.
The Falcons held on until the end and won 1-0.
Pfeiffer will play again Saturday when they travel to Coker for a 4:00 pm game.

Northwest Geriatric Education Center
The Northwest Geriatric Education Center (NWGEC) is an interdisciplinary center at the University of Washington dedicated to improving health outcomes and quality of life for older adults. The NWGEC is one of a national network of GECs funded by the Bureau of Health Professions of the Health Resources and Services Administration. NWGEC conducts health promotion training programs and develops education resources for health sciences students and for health care and social service professionals working with older adults. Established in 1985, NWGEC's programs address health concerns specific to older adults in the Pacific Northwest.
In our region, there are substantial numbers of older adults who do not have access to appropriate health care. Promoting the health of older adults constitutes one of the most important ways of preventing disease, postponing disability, and maintaining function. NWGEC's interrelated activities are directed to preparing, mobilizing and supporting community providers in applying effective health care to older adults.
The NWGEC provides training opportunities and educational resources to health sciences students and health care and social service professionals working with older adults. A special feature of our program is our annual Geriatric Telehealth series that focuses on physical and mental health conditions common in older adults. These programs have been telecast to regional hospitals throughout Washington, Wyoming and Alaska.
I invite you to browse our site for descriptions of our many activities and resources as well as links to other related Web resources. Are you interested in our online lectures? To gain access to these and other resources--and take full advantage of what the NWGEC offers online--please register (allows accurate compiling of data for reports to our funding agency).

Despite a constant drizzle — and sometimes even some of the harder stuff — 24 of the area's top teams took aim at bragging rights in the ultra-competitive OCC Shootout Monday at Moundbuilders Country Club.
Five of the squads were county contenders, including Olentangy and Liberty, which cracked the top 10 by finishing sixth and seventh, respectively.

Jordan Callicotte led the Patriots, carding a team-best 78 on the soggy surface. Other Liberty scorers included Ryan Hall, who finished with an 81; and the duo of George Dunlap and Tommy Fortunato, who ended up with rounds of 82.
Others in action included Orange, which finished 12th with a team total of 336; Big Walnut, which wound up 15th with a 341; and Hayes, which shot its average of 371 to smooth out the scoring and finish 24th overall.
The Pioneers were led by John Jones and John McHale, who finished with 83s; Jake McClellan, who had an 84; and Ray Albertini, who finished with an 86.
The Golden Eagles were paced by Evan Cannell, who shot an 81 in the tough conditions. Other scorers included T.J. Cowans, who fired an 83; Kyle Gose, who closed with an 84; and Tyler Burks, who had a 93.
The Pacers, meanwhile, were boosted by Kody Brookens, who finished with an 88. Other Hayes scorers included Jordan Zinader, who had a 93; Kyle Gabbert, who finished with a 94; and Brandon Brown, who carded a 96.

Beautiful save the dates
The save the date magnets came out beautifully and exactly how we ordered them. The one problem was when we ordered, it said order today and have th shipped by a certain date, that date came and when and our magnets were not shipped. They ended up not shipping until almost two weeks after we were told they would. Luckily we ordered them earlier enough so there was no problem with getting them out too late. Just make sure you give yourself extra time for shipping because you can't predict these kinds of problems.
I absolutely love my save the dates. Production was quick and I received them within a timely manner as well. I would recommend magnet street to anyone and I will definitely be using them again! :)
They came out perfect
ordered these to announce my daughters upcoming wedding could'nt be more happier with quality of magnets crisp printing and picture for a mini fridge magnet

This was a great product, the site was easy to use. Great price I loved everything about it will use again in the future.
