Running a small business can be challenging as society and media start to put more and more pressure on communicating on multiple platforms while still maintaining the level of excellence you demand of your business affairs. You can only wear so many hats, but small business owners are made of sterner stuff than the average individual. You are the go-getters and the innovators in your communities, which means that you rise up to the challenges as they arise.
Social media seems simple enough, right? What seems like the ideal task for your new intern can be more complicated than you think. You will quickly realize that it is not just about knowing how to communicate on the various new sites. If you do it yourself, you might also fall into the common pitfall of what we like to call Hare Marketing. You remember the classic Aesop fable of "The Tortoise and The Hare," right? The hare was the fastest of the pair, but it was tortoise who won the race by being consistent. Here are ways to tell if you're participating in Hare Marketing or Tortoise Marketing:
If it seems like you are not getting out of social media the responses and interaction that you need, evaluate which of the columns your methods have predominately fallen into. Change up your approach to social media, remember to keep it interesting, but above all keep in mind that it isn't always the fast method that reaps the greatest benefits. As long as you provide quality communication and real value for your fans and followers, you will see results. It just may not happen in a week!

My maternal grandmother taught me to cast on and knit when I was very little. I taught myself to purl and bind off twenty years later. Fifteen years later, I became obsessed. My stash is huge. Plus the magazines and books. I've embraced knitting as a lifestyle. I could get so much more done if only I didn't have to work to pay the bills and buy the yarn. By day I work in television production, it pays for all the yarn. By night I surf ravelry and blog when I should be knitting. On Saturday's I try to sleep late and practice stash enhancement, and on Sunday's I teach Sunday School to a really great group of pre-schoolers.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Soundview Executive Book SummariesNovartis, a Swiss-based pharmaceutical conglomerate with more than 72,000 employees in 140 countries, recently formed a consortium of six noncompetitive companies from different sectors. At the heart of the consortium are six to eight action learning groups formed of members from each of the six companies. The action learning groups work as teams on specific business projects of importance to their respective companies. The overall goal of the action groups is threefold: to solve the business problems of the companies, to develop leaders, and to build organizational capacity.
Around the world, writes George Washington University professor Michael J. Marquardt, companies and organizations of all sizes are using the action learning methodology to solve major problems and build productive and effective teams.
In Optimizing the Power of Action Learning, Marquardt, an expert on the action learning process, details exactly how the methodology works and how it can be used for important problems impacting businesses large and small.
Six Components of Action Learning
Action learning is a problem-solving tool that at the same time builds successful leaders, teams and organizations. The six components of action learning are:
- A problem. Action learning centers on a problem or, more specifically, a project, challenge, opportunity, issue or task. The resolution of this problem has to be of great importance to the organization - action learning is not for minor issues. The problem must be significant and urgent.
- A group. The second component of action learning is an action learning group or team. The ideal group has four to eight diverse members, who bring various perspectives and fresh viewpoints to the task of resolving a significant organizational problem.
- Questions. A process of insightful questioning and reflective listening is key to the success of the action learning initiative. Action learning succeeds because the process focuses on the right questions, not the right answers. Questions build group cohesiveness, generate innovative and systems thinking, and enhance learning results.
- Action. Action learning requires that the action learning group be able to take action on the problem to which it has been assigned. The group must either have the power to take action, or be assured that its recommendations will be implemented. If neither of these conditions is in place, raising the specter of recommendations sitting in the bottom of a drawer, the team will lose its focus and energy.
- Learning. An equal commitment to learning is also essential for the success of action learning. While the short-term action steps needed to address the problem will be valuable to the company, it is the long-term learning gained through the exercise that most benefits the organization and its members.
- A coach. To keep the group focused on the important as well as the urgent, an action learning coach is required. Through helping group members reflect on how they listen or how they may have reframed the problem, for example, the coach keeps the group focused on what they are achieving, what they are finding difficult, what processes they are employing, and the implications of those processes.
Action learning is at its peak if all six of these components are in operation, interweaving and reinforcing each other.
Solving Problems at National Semiconductor
Here's an example of what action learning can offer a company:
Executives at National Semiconductor's Portland, Maine, plant recognized that they were having difficulties providing quality service at AT&T (National Semiconductor is one of AT&T's major suppliers).
Their response was to create an action learning team called the Customer Request Improvement Team. Members of the Customer Request Improvement Team were pulled from the sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing and planning functions of National Semiconductor. The team also included members from AT&T.
Over a period of three months, the team considered more than 40 ideas for improvement, which resulted in four specific action initiatives:
- Analyzing in new ways the delivery misses.
- Increasing frequencies of lead-time updates.
- Creating critical device lists.
- Developing pre-alert reports.
Following the implementation of these initiatives, AT&T recognized National Semiconductor as one of its "world class" suppliers. Copyright © 2004 Soundview Executive Book Summaries

In Arabian Coast a new ride is announced called Jasmine's Flying carpets.
Asahi article and picture
In Arabian Coast a new ride is announced called Jasmine's Flying carpets.
Asahi article and picture
its a spinner, used to fill in gaps for dead areas of a park. Not meant to be a huge addition but they are usually quite popular with families. as long as they theme it nice its not the end of everything
Yes! We shall defeat those evil "imagination" bastards! Onwards with derivity and cloning!
The five worst crimes in the world, in no particular order, are genocide, rape, murder, torture, and flash photography on Space Mountain.
The fountain in the middle of the spinner is looks very nice.
As long as its somewhere to the side and not distracting to the beautiful Arabian Coast theme, it looks good.
Looks a lot like the Magic Carpets from WDW and Paris. My kids would enjoy it.
Next trip September 2013
Past trips:
May 2010 TDL and DisneySea

The best thing that land ever had was the bonfire dance. Now there will never be any more shows there with this attraction in the middle of everything. We were just saying the other day how they need something in the back side of the park because all the shows and big attractions are towards the front and middle so we rarely go back there but this will not do it. It just will mean we don't need to go to that land so much because there is no show to draw people.
Look at American waterfront now which has ToT, Broadway Music theater, Soon Midway Mania, the area to set of the stage for the big stage shows like Halloween and Christmas, Turtle Talk. Restaurants including Sakura, the buffet, Teddy Roosevelt lounge, S.S. Columbia restaurant. Then Cape cod is also part of it with Duffy merchandise insanity and character greeting, another restaurant and soon the My Friend Duffy show. At Christmas you can meet Santa and Mrs. Clause in American waterfront. It's just really unbalanced right now!
Here is where it is going:
The materials/craftsmanship will be key. This artwork isn't that promising. Hope it is up to Arabian Coast standards, not plasticy/cheap-looking like parts of MK's version.
Not sure if it's worth losing one of these detailed hidden corners for a spinner:
above pics by Marc Borelli via Laughingplace.com Tokyo DisneySea Tour - Part 10, Arabian Coast, - LaughingPlace.com: Disney World, Disneyland and More
Oh! that is not so bad then... but I still wished they would put something better in the space!
Thanks RandySavage!
Edit: Actually it's kind of smart because it will bring attention to Sindbad. Sorry the the thread title! I guess it can always be replace with something better later.
i am sure they had that area already planned for something small. That space does not seem large enough for anything else.
Hopefully the detail will amazing and the landscaping top notch.
At OLC's Press Release, I also see that they named the new Cinderella walk through "Cinderella's Royal Hall".
If it brings people to the Sindbad attraction it will have been a really good move because there is almost never a line even after they redid it and it's such a nice attraction. The only time we saw the line go to 15-20 minutes was during Halloween when it was super crowded in the park.
This may be just a spinner but like everything else at DisneySea, it looks beautifully detailed, and is thematically very appropriate.
Contrast to the Carpets spinner at the Magic Kingdom, which I detest.
Am sad it won't be complete by next spirng...which is when I am hoping to visit.

Who doesn't love adorable polymer clay animals? Create cute Clay Peepers from Candace Jedrowicz to celebrate spring. Make them a nest and display them in your home for instant cheer!
- Water bottle – any size
- Crinkle paper
- Glue – I used Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
- Polymer clay – I used combined leftover clays to make a grayish brown, yellow and black
- Feathers
- Twigs
- Fabric flowers
- Clear glossy sealer
- Brown acrylic paint
- Aluminum foil
- Cut off the bottom of the water bottle. EcoHeidi recommends making the first cut with a craft knife, then use scissors to finish.
- Paint with brown acrylic – or any color you want, depending on the color crinkle paper you chose.
- When the paint is dry, cover the outside with glue. You can use a brush to apply the glue, or use your finger to spread it out, like I'm about to do here.
- Set the whole thing into a big pile of the crinkle paper. Push the paper up around the glue to secure it.
- Apply glue to the inside and continue to push the paper to the inside. You may want to set something on top of the paper inside to firmly attach the paper.
- This photo shows the proportions of polymer clay you'll use to make each bird.
- Using about an 8″x8″ piece of foil and squish it down to a gum drop shape.
- Flatten the largest ball of clay to about 1/4″thick. Mold it over the foil shape and give it a flat bottom.
- Use the second largest piece to begin the head and neck.
- The next size down will be the wings. Make them into a long tear drop shape.
- Make a cone from the yellow clay for the beak.
- Roll the tiny black pieces into eyes and press them gently on the head.
- Slightly flatten the beak and press on below the eyes. Keep in mind his little face is looking up.
- Flatten two of the small pieces for cheeks. The third piece will be his tongue.
- Trim the downy parts of the feather.
- The cheeks are set on the sides of the beak.
- Use a craft knife to "open" the beak.
- Press the tongue into place.
- Bake the clay according to the directions.
- Glue little bits of down on top of his head and wings.
- Drop a tiny drop of glossy sealer on the eyes.
- The twigs are optional, but, if you use a muted color of clay like I did, the twigs are a great way to bring in the colorful flowers with jewel centers.

A Hole in 'Tennessee'
January 10, 2005
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity took the images that make up this mosaic with its microscopic imager on sol 139 (June 14, 2004). The target is a rock called "Tennessee," which was drilled into by the rover's rock abrasion tool. This particular grind is the deepest performed so far during the mission. The hole is 8.12 millimeters (0.32 inches) deep and took two hours and four minutes to create. The previous record was a 7.23-millimeter-deep (0.28-inch-deep) hole dug on sol 86 (April 21, 2004) on the feature dubbed "Pilbara," located in Meridiani's "Fram Crater."

In 1783, the villagers rebuilt their chapel dedicated to St Bernard de Menthon and to St Agathe. Up to that time, there was already a chapel in another part of the village and they decided to construct the new one alongside the valley road. In the past, people gathered in Beuson to bless the thread of their clothes as well as bread and salt that was given to sick livestock.

Thyroid disease and oral health.
As someone diagnosed with hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease, I am continually searching for evidence-based information and about thyroid conditions. There are books, articles, online communities, associations and foundations. New clinical conclusions are released weekly for this very complex disease.
Thyroid Disease in the United States
An estimated 27 million Americans have thyroid disease; more than half of them undiagnosed. Subtle changes in thyroid function can have significant health consequences. Women's risk of developing thyroid problems is seven times that of men. A family history of thyroid problems and increasing age affect the chances of a woman developing thyroid problems. A woman has almost a one-in-five chance of facing some type of thyroid disease in her lifetime. (1)
The history of thyroid disease can be traced back to when goiters were identified. (2) A goiter (struma) is a noncancerous enlargement or swelling of the thyroid gland. (1) The use of seaweed to treat goiter was first mentioned in 2700 BC, found among Emperor Shen Nung's prescriptions as part of the Pen Tsao, a treatise on herbal medicine first published in 1596). (2)
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck that produces several hormones. There are two main thyroid hormones produced. Thyroxine, otherwise called T4 (thyrogolobulin-4) because each molecule of hormone has four iodine atoms. Ninety-fine percent of the thyroid hormone in our circulation is T4. Most experts in thyroid disease believe that T4 is really only a precursor and a convenient way for the thyroid to store its hormone pool. T4 is the inactive hormone and is a reserve supply.
The other five percent of thyroid hormone is in the form of tri-iodothyronine or T3. T3 is the thyroxine molecule that has lost one iodine atom, due to the action of deiodinase, a de-iodinating enzyme. This allows T3 to be used for local tissue as the active hormone. A number of thyroid experts believe that T3 is the true thyroid hormone. T3 is much more powerful than T4 and is destroyed much more quickly. T3 only lasts a few hours; T4 lasts for days. Most of the T4 and T3 travel around the blood attached to a protein called thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). The unattached hormone is free of the TBG and can also be measured as Free T4 and Free T3. All of the hormone together, both the free and that bound to TBG, are measured as Total T4 and Total T3. The pituitary gland produces TSH or thyroid-stimulating hormone. This hormone stimulates the thyroid gland to increase production. A high TSH determined by a blood test often means the thyroid is underactive and needs stimulation, while a low TSH can mean the thyroid is overactive. The thyroid gland is constantly reacting to changes in the levels of circulating TSH. Building the thyroxine molecule needs three components--iodine, thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase. Iodine is a trace chemical element found in foods. Only tiny amounts of iodine are needed each day for thyroid function. The thyroid is efficient in taking iodine (in the form of iodide) up from the blood. There is normally thirty to forty times as much iodine in thyroid tissue as in the bloodstream. Inside the thyroid, the iodide meets up with thyroglobulin.
Thyroglobulin is the protein base upon which thyroine is synthesized. It is almost unique to the thyroid gland (some thyroglobulin is circulated in the blood). Thyroperoxidase causes iodine molecules to become attached to different sites on the thyroglobulin molecules, first making molecules that contain one, then two iodine atoms, which then double up to make a molecule containing four iodine atoms (T4). The thyroid gland receives signals from the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. Cells in the hypothalamus respond to low levels of thyroxine in the blood by secreting thyrotropin-releasing hormone, (TRH) into special portals (modified blood vessels) in the pituitary stalk connecting to the pituitary gland. When the cells in the front section of the pituitary gland pick up these chemical messages, TSH is secreted into the bloodstream. The normal thyroid gland is constantly reacting to changes in the levels of circulating TSH. Thyroid problems can be caused by faulty TRH from the hypothalamus, faulty TSH secretion from the pituitary, lack of response to TSH, failure to produce thyroxine from the thyroid itself or if the thyroid becomes automonus (the whole gland or part of the gland producing thyroxine without regard to TSH changes). (1,3,4) The thyroid regulates the metabolism of our cells, our moods, emotions, cognition, appetite and behavior. (5,6)
If the thyroid excretes too much hormone, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) results. The most common symptoms include nervousness, sweating, palpitations, nerve tingling, fatigue, and heat intolerance, hyperactivity, eye disorders and an increased appetite. Many autoimmune diseases can lead to hyperthyroidism when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. (7)
Autoimmune thyroid problems often lead to hyperthyroidism initially, followed by hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) later in the disease process. This can result in Hashimoto's disease, a type of autoimmune thyroid disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. It is the most common form of hypothyroidism. (6) People with either Graves' disease (related to hyperthyroidism) (6) of hypothyroidism due to autoimmune problems are also at higher-than-normal risk of autoimmune diseases affecting other parts of the body. (3)
The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism are tiredness, feeling cold, constipation, hoarse voice, changes in hair and skin, heavy menstrual periods and weight gain. (8) The treatments for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism address the hormone imbalance. Options for treating Graves' disease range from administering antithyroid drugs to trying to destroy a significant portion of the gland with radioactive iodine or surgically removing a significant portion of the gland. Hypothyroidism is traditionally treated with synthetic T4. Some literature suggests that adding T3 can be beneficial because the body and mind depend on this most potent form of thyroid hormone, which is also the main form of the hormone that works in brain cells. (3,6)
Thyroid Cancer and Risk Factors
Thyroid cancer affects mainly younger people. Almost two of three cases are found in people between the ages of 20 and 55, and the survival rate is 97 percent. (9)
The causes of thyroid cancer include inadequate amounts of dietary iodine, a nutrient necessary for the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone. Another risk factor for thyroid cancer is exposure to radiation, whether during medical treatment or as radioactive fallout. Genetics and family history can also contribute to a higher risk of developing certain types of thyroid cancer. (1)
The Oral Health Care Provider's Responsibility
Dental personnel have a responsibility to conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient's health history to determine if their thyroid disease is being medically managed. Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism can put the dental patient at risk. Complications include the rare thyrotoxic crisis ("thyroid storm," a serious condition characterized by mental deterioration, high fever, extreme agitation and at times heart failure and jaundice). (6,10)
The use of epinephrine or other pressor ammines can cause a hypertensive crisis in a patient with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. These patients can also be at risk for complications of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias and congestive heart failure. (10) Patients with hypothyroidism need to be well controlled before having dental treatment. Patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis may endure a short period of hyperthyroidism, and it may be best to avoid routine dental treatment during that acute period. Dental treatment modification may be necessary for dental patients under medical management and follow-up for a thyroid condition.
If a suspicion of thyroid disease arises for an undiagnosed patient, all elective dental treatment should be postponed until a complete medical evaluation is performed. (11) (A medically well-controlled patient will have no contraindications to have dental treatment. (10)
Thyroid Oral Implications
The common oral implications in hypothyroidism include macroglossia, dysgeusia, delayed eruption, poor periodontal health and delayed wound healing. A patient with hypothyroidism is susceptible to cardiovascular disease from arteriosclerosis and elevated LDL. (12) Consulting with the patient's primary care provider can give you the information needed to determine the patient's cardiovascular status.
Common oral findings in hyperthyroidism include increased susceptibility to dental caries, periodontal disease, enlargement of extraglandular thyroid tissue (mainly in the lateral posterior tongue), maxillary or mandibular osteoporosis, accelerated dental eruption and burning mouth syndrome. (13,14) Patients older than 70 are at risk for anorexia and wasting, atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure. In younger patients, Graves' disease is the main manifestation. Middle-aged men and women most commonly have toxic nodular goiter. Graves' disease can also put a patient at a higher risk for connective-tissue diseases like Sjogren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. (11,15) There are no major side effects of thyroid replacement medication that affect the oral cavity. A common side effect of many medications is xerostomia. (14)
A thyroid nodule is thyroid tissue that has continued to grow. This nodule develops in the gland. The majority of the solid or fluid-filled lumps are noncancerous, and most nodules don't cause any symptoms. Only about five percent of thyroid nodules may be cancerous. Some thyroid nodules may become large enough to press on the windpipe or the esophagus, making it uncomfortable or difficult to swallow. (16)
If thyroid cancer is identified, treatment with large doses of radioactive iodine six weeks after the thyroid gland has been removed is required to remove any remaining cancerous tissue. Lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy is required after surgical removal of the thyroid gland. Surgery and radioactive iodine generally cure the cancer. (1)
Health Care Delivery and Other Concerns
Conducting an extraoral cancer examination for the thyroid is an important procedure for the dental professional to perform. The gland should first be inspected and then palpated; it is possible to palpate the gland standing in front of or behind the patient. Normal patients have thyroid glands that are difficult to feel. The dental professional should note any characteristics of the nodules or masses. (1)
Since the thyroid is the master gland of metabolism and energy, and problems with the gland affect factors including weight, mental health, fertility, heart disease risk, and many other important aspects of day-to-day health, it is important to protect this gland whenever possible. One way the dental professional can protect the thyroid gland is to use a thyroid collar when taking patient X-rays. The thyroid is extremely sensitive to radiation and excessive radiation exposure is a known risk factor for various thyroid conditions. (1)
It has been found that recent exposure to a surgical antiseptic that includes iodine (such as Povidone) can increase the risk of temporary thyroiditis, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Patients with underlying thyroid antibodies and a tendency toward autoimmunity appear to be at more risk. (1)
Too much soy protein in the diet has been shown to interfere with thyroid function only in patients who have hypothyroidism and are being treated with thyroid medications. (17) Human studies have shown no significant effect when soy is consumed in normal quantities.
Evidence supports the link between certain food groups with autoimmune disease of the thyroid that results in slowed metabolism. For example, gluten sensitivity or allergy can cause many different types of symptoms from migraines to fatigue to weight gain. (18)
Fluoride was used as a drug to treat hyperthyroidism because it makes the thyroid underactive quite effectively. This is due to the ability of fluoride to mimic the action of thyrotropin (TSH). Excess fluoride correlates with other thyroid-related issues such as iodine deficiency. Fluoride and iodine, both being members of the halogens group of atoms, have an antagonistic relationship. When there is excess of fluoride in the body it can interfere with the function of the thyroid gland. (1) Fluoride has been linked to thyroid problems. (19) Patients who wish to avoid the effect of fluoride on their thyroid can utilize a fluoride-free toothpaste such as Carifree, an oral neutralizer gel. (20)
Thiocyanate, one of the toxins contained in cigarettes, is especially dangerous to the thyroid gland in susceptible people. Cigarette smokers are also more likely to develop eye complications of Graves' disease. Patients who smoke increase their health risk by worsening their thyroid disease. (1)
Stress management plays a very important part in successful treatment of thyroid disease. Stress affects the thyroid gland negatively. Treating the thyroid without treating the stress can cause more problems. Incorporating regular relaxation exercise is critical to helping thyroid disease respond to the recommended medical treatment. (21)
It appears that in order to properly respond to thyroid disease treatment, several factors need to be considered. From medication to lifestyle, a patient challenged with thyroid disease can help their treatment be more effective and improve their well-being and quality of life. Dental professionals have a responsibility to be aware of the different dimensions of the disease and treatment that could affect a patient whose medical history reflects thyroid problems.

Have you ever watched "MythBusters," the show that scientifically tests myths and urban legends, like are elephants really afraid of mice or is it possible to walk on water? Now, I may not have a crash test dummy named Buster, but I do have two years of dorm life, on- and off-campus adventures and brutal assignments under my belt. Therefore, I bring to you "MythBusters: The College Edition."
Myth 1 – College is a constant party. Thirsty Thursday is a very real phenomenon. There are people that go out partying on Mondays. Some students come to class still drunk from the night before. But if you venture into the library on Friday evening, there are people there. College is hard work, it's not all "Animal House."
Myth 2 – Dorm life is disgusting. Yes, the toilets and sinks may clog occasionally and your roommate could be a vile person who steals your food and leaves garbage on your bed. But if everyone's respectful, bathrooms are honestly fine and you may end up loving your freshman roommate and living together for multiple years...like me and mine!
Myth 3 – Professors don't care. High school teachers beat this one into your brain, right? College professors may not remind you about daily readings but they will let you know when a test or big assignment is coming up and are happy to answer questions about them.
Myth 4 – You'll gain weight. Eat normal-sized portions, throw in a vegetable here and there and hit the gym. This very simple recipe will ensure the Freshman 15 doesn't even cross your mind...or waistline.
Myth 5 – You're going to change your major numerous times. It's fine if you do but if you know what you want to study and still love it after taking a few classes, you probably won't. Don't feel weird about not changing your major: Some people are just focused...you're lucky if you're one of them!
Darci Miller is a New Yorker studying journalism and sport administration at the University of Miami. When she's not writing for the school newspaper, you can find her at the gym, either working or working out. She loves all '80s pop culture (the cheesier the better!), and glues herself to her TV when the Olympics are on. She dreams big, and believes the sky's the limit!

Before college, the only time I'd ever shared a room with someone was at sleep-away camp. Living in a bunk with a dozen other girls was certainly an experience but I was still nervous about moving in with my freshman roommate. We'd talked on Facebook but never met in person and all of a sudden we were supposed to live together harmoniously.
Not only did we survive that first year without killing each other but we successfully lived together sophomore year and will be moving back in together in August for year number three. Pretty good for a first roommate experience! While I lucked out in finding someone I'm totally compatible with, I think our trick was abiding by several unwritten rules.
First and foremost is respect. We never touch each other's things (including food) unless we get permission to. At the same time, there are certain things we share: Her printer is mine to use as I need it (as long as I help pay for ink), she has full privileges with my television and then there was the time we bought a jar of Nutella together. Respect also involves being quiet when you come in at 3 a.m. and keeping sexiling to a bare minimum (no pun intended).
Compromising is important as well. You'll have to learn to go to sleep with the lights on now and then (I did) or plug in your headphones if your roommate wants to turn in early. If you both go in knowing that you'll have to give a little, you'll make each other's transition much easier.
In my opinion, the most important aspect of living together is liking each other! You don't have to be BFFs but spend some time together and find something to bond over. Do you both hate the Yankees? Are you both huge OneRepublic fans? Heck, do you both like Nutella? It can be the littlest things that form a great relationship and make living together a pleasure.

When I was preparing for my freshman year, I talked to people, read books and generally tried to learn everything I could about what awaited me in this next phase of my life. That being said, there are some things that no book, blog or person mentioned to me, leaving me blistered, hungry and short on tissues. Here's what I discovered through much trial and error:
You can now go into your freshman year much wiser than I was when I began mine!

A big deal is always made about being a good roommate in college. I've seen many a list on how not to drive the person you're forced to live with up a wall but what about proper etiquette for living in a dorm? Being a good neighbor involves an entirely different set of rules than being a good roommate.
For example, try to keep your music down in a dorm room. It's all well and good if both you and your roommate love heavy bass but unless you've cleared it with your entire floor – and sometimes your upstairs and downstairs neighbors as well – it's good to be courteous and NOT turn it up to 11. I've been known to glare mutinously at the wall between my room and my neighbor's as their music is thumping away at 2 a.m.
You'll also want to respect personal boundaries. Really, don't use the toilet when your suitemate is using the sink, unless it's previously agreed upon. It happens. I have personal experience on my side.
Don't rip down decorations in the halls; someone (like your RA) worked really hard to put them up. Along the same lines, garbage belongs in a garbage can. As much as I love seeing a rotten apple smushed on the floor outside my room (sarcasm, of course), it shouldn't be there. The same goes for hairballs: Throw yours in your trashcan instead of kicking them into the hall.
Don't touch other people's underwear – aka be courteous in the laundry room. It's inevitable that at some point, you'll have to move someone's laundry so you can use their machine but only do so in desperate times. I hate knowing that a stranger was rooting around in my clothes.
It all comes down to being respectful. You don't have to be Dorm Resident Extraordinaire but thinking about the people living around you is much appreciated by your neighbors and floormates. Unless, of course, you want the girl living next door to you groaning about how obnoxious your music is.

The fall semester is coming up fast and for many of us, it means leaving home in favor of dorm or apartment life. Whether you'll be eating in the dining halls or fending for yourself, making healthy food choices falls fully on your own shoulders. The good news is you don't have to go into debt shopping at Whole Foods to keep the Freshman 15 at bay.
For those of you who will be relying on the dining halls for most of your meals, money is less of an issue than healthy options are. It's all too easy to opt for a hamburger and fries or a slice of sub-par pizza but trust me, healthier options are there. Most meals come with a vegetable and fruits like apples, bananas and pears are available for the taking so take them back to your room for a snack later in the day. Opt for oatmeal instead of Lucky Charms, whole wheat bread instead of white and water instead of soda. It may not be easy but I promise it can be done!
If you live in an apartment or house and cook your own meals, money does become a limiting factor. Healthy foods do cost more than junk, so coupons and sales should become your best friends. Keep your eye on prices and buy when items are most affordable. And eat what you buy: Splitting a Costco membership with your roommates is great but letting that food go bad is like throwing away money.
Frozen and dried fruits and vegetables are also great, healthy alternatives. They're cheaper, have longer shelf lives than their fresh counterparts and can sometimes even be denser in nutrients (some are full of sugar, though, so read those labels). Grilled chicken strips also make cooking a healthy dinner quick and easy.
Eating healthy at college may take some extra effort and money but it's good to adopt healthy habits early. They'll be second nature in no time!

When I first began looking at colleges, I knew right away that I didn't want to attend school locally. I wanted to forge my own way away from home and none of New York's state schools really interested me. I did apply to one in-state school (Syracuse) that's a multiple hour drive away from home but ended up not going there.
Starting at Miami was a bit of a culture shock. I went from seeing familiar faces everywhere in high school to being the one solitary Baldwinite at college. There are several others from my high school at Miami but they're older than me and we've never interacted before. I was entirely on my own. My friends, on the other hand, moved on from high school in a very different way: Almost everybody I know attends college with at least one other person from high school and SUNY Binghamton is now the home of more than 20 members of my graduating class, many of whom now live together.
Sometimes, I'm a little bit jealous. If vacation days don't line up, I'll be sitting in my dorm room reading Facebook updates about how everyone's getting together back at home – people can't afford to fly down to Miami to visit one friend but they can afford to drive to Binghamton to visit dozens of them – but embarking on a college journey miles away from home does have its positives.
By going to school away, you'll get to miss out on all the stupid high school drama inherent in high school friendships. You'll be able to make an entirely new group of friends without worrying about what your old friends think of you or of them. You can reinvent yourself entirely if you want to, become your own person and return home new, improved and blissfully unaware of who kissed who and who now hates who. Trust me, you won't miss it!

Packing for college can be stressful and frustrating. You buy something you think you are going to need and end up never using it or you forget to buy something and end up making 20 trips to the store on the already crazy move-in day. But fear not, I am here to help.
Now I know that colleges give students lists of things to bring with them but those lists can be wrong. Below, I have provided you with some helpful tips on what and what not to bring with you to college that I have learned myself over the last few years.

There's no denying that going to college is a life-changing event but the adjustment from high school life to college life can be a tough one. All of a sudden, you are thrust into a world with no parents and no supervision while surrounded by new people, new responsibilities and new pressures. This can all be very overwhelming but fret not, I am here with some advice to help ease this transition.
First, don't change your sleeping or eating habits. I know this will be extremely challenging because everyone will be up late talking, hanging out and eating junk food but it's important to maintain a schedule. If you don't, you will start to lose focus and gain weight; trust me you do not want either to happen.
Next, communicate with your family as often as you can. My biggest struggle during freshman year was learning how to handle the disconnect I felt from being away from home and my family. Calling, emailing or Skyping to share what's going on in your lives and telling them about your day can really help ease the homesickness. It worked for me!
The last and probably most crucial piece of advice I would like to give is to make time for yourself. If you are living in a dorm, you will be surrounded by people all the time...seriously, 24/7. While this can be fun and exciting, it can also wear you down and drive you crazy. Even if you just take a walk or eat dinner by yourself one night a week, having that alone time will allow you to not feel so overwhelmed by your friends and roommates.
While I tried to give you the best advice about starting college, the truth is there's no magic formula. Everyone deals with college life in their own way and once you start, you will figure out what works for you. It may take some time but it will be so worth it in the end. Good luck!

One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing people wear pajamas to class. Not only do I think it's disrespectful to the professor and your fellow students as well but it also looks very sloppy. I personally tend to judge my pajama-wearing classmates as lazy because, I mean, how hard is it to change your clothes? Anyways, this little rant brings me to my topic: classroom dress code.
While it isn't necessary to dress in business attire or in formal wear for your gen eds, jeans and a t-shirt look markedly better than pajamas, sweatpants or workout clothes. Aside from looking bad, dressing inappropriately for class can have a negative impact on your future. When you go to apply for grad school or for a job after graduation, it's your professors who will be giving you recommendations. If you show up to every class looking like you just rolled out of bed, it's going to affect your professor's opinion of you, regardless of what your class participation and exam grades were.
Additionally – and a bonus – dressing nicely affects your mood. The nicer you dress, the better you feel about yourself and the better you will do in class and at work. Next time you're about to leave your dorm in your pajamas, take a quick look in the mirror. Appearance does matter – dress for success!
August 5, 2011
One of the greatest things about college is making new friends; however, the main goal of going to a university is to do well in your classes and obtain that degree. So what happens when those two college aspects collide? Well, the outcome can definitely vary, as taking a class with a friend or roommate can either be fun or stressful. Let me explain.
Freshman year, one of my roommates and I took an introductory anthropology class together. It was fun to walk to class and gossip about the teacher and the other students later on in our dorm room...but that was where the fun ended. My roommate would often miss class and expect me to get her assignments and take notes for her. We would plan to study for tests together but she would bail at the last minute – and then complain when she was unprepared! In the end, the class became more work and stress than was necessary because I had taken it with my roommate. While it was nice to have a familiar face in the class, her habits interfered with mine and created a bad experience.
Now, I know this is an isolated event and that it is possible to take classes with friends or roommates and have it be a good experience – students do it all the time – but I would advise you all to think carefully before enrolling together. If you do want to give it a try, set guidelines right away, much like a roommate contract but for class. Make it clear that each person is responsible for their own notes and assignments, and define your study habits are and whether or not you want to study together or separately. If you set these standards from the beginning, you should have a fun and productive class experience with your friend.

Norway at last
... br>
In Oslo we over-nighted on the car park for a park full of wonderful sculptures by Gustav Vigeland, and described in my fellow blogger's post as 'a quiet spot'. He obviously wasn't there on the night when hundreds, even thousands of Norwegian-track-suited Oslo teenagers completed their final day at school and chose the Sculpture Park as the place ...
Final Days Photos
Hey Everybody!
In the months since I've been back in the States, I've noticed that this blog still gets more than 100 visits a month. So, as a reward to you all who still visit it, I'd like to share some photos with you!
Before we jump to the pictures, I'd like to comment a little on the impact that studying abroad has had and continues to have on my life. It's funny how in life, lack of exposure to things different ...
Solo excursion to Horten
Hey everybody!
Alright! So here's the first of three final entries. The two that follow will cover the 17th of May (Norwegian Constitution Day) and a wrap up on the whole study aboard experience.
Today we're going to go on a photo journey of a day trip I took across the fjord to the city of Horten. Griffin, Ashley, and I took a trip there earlier in the semester, returning minutes before we froze solid. It was because we'd only spent ...
School's Out!
Hei hei!
As of a couple of hours ago, I am officially an alumnus of the American College of Norway! Thus ends my studying abroad. Now I am just abroad, free to do as I wish, not constrained by pencils and books.
We had something of a "graduation" ceremony at five, where the administration said their bit on how awesome we are and so on. And of course, emotions were high as this ...
Semester's End
... will be my last day in Moss. I fly out early the next morning, so I'll be spending the night somewhere in Oslo (hopefully at a friend's place). The anxiety is really starting to build up now. It's the same sort of feeling I got a week before I left the States. I would even venture to guess that it's worse this time around because I simply don't know if I'll have the opportunity to some back to Moss. At least when I left the US, I knew I would ...

We suspect this is one of those offers where you end up wiring money over to take care of a bunch of expenses that crop up in the process of trying to get hired for this job, to the point where you eventually realize there's no job at the end of it all. We'd consider this a money transfer/mule offer, and not a very good one. The text in the PDF is ridiculous -- no wonder they attached that instead of including it in their spam! You don't need to feel bad about avoiding this one. They deserve nothing less for spamming people with the intent to defraud them.Message text:

ESA Wants ISS As Platform For Climate Science
General Jean-Jacques Dordain said on Thursday ESA is hoping to use the International Space Station as a platform to conduct research into global climate change.
Dordain, ESA Director, says so far 17 proposals have been received for this project.
The ISS is expected to be finished this year, with final costs around 100 billion dollars. The station will be used as a multi-purpose research facility in low orbit until at least 2015 and possibly beyond.
The first two modules of the ISS were launched and joined together in 1998, but it is still not complete. The last non-Russian modules are set for launch this February aboard the space shuttle Endeavour.
Under current plans, the final component – a Russian lab module named "Nauka" – will be delivered on a Proton rocket late in 2011 – just four years before the ISS's planned demise.
During a New Year's meeting with reporters, Dordain said there are many exciting events to come this year.
Along with the Feb. 7 launch of two more ISS modules, another launch is set to take place on Feb. 25. An ESA satellite designed to measure the thickness of ice will be launched from Russia for Earth observation.
Also, a Russian rocket will be launched from French Guiana under a commercial arrangement with Arianespace, which markets the Ariane 5 heavy launcher.
Dordain says the agency plans on "stabilizing" it's spending after a couple of years.
A total of 3.744 billion euros (5.428 billion dollars) has been earmarked for 2010.
