Administrator: Veterans home in good shape two months after funding crisisBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | December 07,2012BENNINGTON The Vermont Veterans Home is doing well two months after averting a possible funding loss which could have closed the home, but it continues to struggle with staffing issues that forced the home to spend about $100,000 more than budgeted in October, according to Melissa Jackson, administrator of the home.
Speaking at the first meeting of the homes board of trustees since the Medicare and Medicaid funding crisis, Jackson said the home had one visit since the board had last met, based on a complaint made in November, but no deficiencies were found. Jackson said credit was largely due to the nursing staff who quickly developed and implemented a plan to correct the problem.
Earlier this year, a series of inspections over a number of months had found a number of deficiencies, and while some deficiencies were corrected, new ones were identified during follow-up site visits.
In September, the home received notification from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, that the home would lose its access to Medicare and Medicaid funding, which makes up about $12 million of the homes annual $19 million budget, by Sept. 28. A last-minute inspection found the home had made enough improvement that it could continue to operate.
However, Jackson said that while relations had improved between the union and administrators, there are still issues with staffing. At a public meeting in July, nurses represented by the Vermont State Employee Association complained that the veterans home in Bennington, which is the only state-run nursing home for veterans in Vermont, was understaffed but Jackson and other administrators said at least part of that problem was a persistently high rate of people calling out.
On Wednesday, Jackson said the call-out rate for October was about 10.25 percent, an increase from Septembers rate of 7.85 percent. As a result, the home in October spent almost $60,000 bringing in outside nurses and overtime was over budget for the month by more than $40,000.
While one of the concerns raised in July was the way the schedule was created, a new scheduling method, approved by a vote of the staff, will be implemented in January. Jackson said she hoped it would reduce the number of people calling out.
Joseph Krawczyk Jr., the chairman of the board of trustees, said he had told union leaders that he was not going to be willing to look at hiring more staff until the call-out rate drops. Jackson said she would be satisfied to see it cut in half to about 5 percent, although she said she thinks the national average is a little bit lower than that.
Administrators had many positive comments about the staff as well. Christine Cullinane, director of nursing services at the home, said several nurses had been very engaged and proactive in making suggested improvements, some of which had already been implemented.
The home also has several longtime staff members, like nursing support staff members, Tammy Lorette and Jackie Paddock, who have worked there for 25 years. The board of trustees is looking at ways to recognize significant staff anniversaries and employees who find ways to improve care, Krawczyk said.
Cullinane said the home is expecting new medical equipment and staff are creating new levels of oversight, all designed to improve care and prevent a recurrence of what happened in September.
We pulled off a miracle (in September) and we are not going to revisit that time period again. I expect excellence from everyone, she said.
After the meeting, Krawczyk said his faith in the home was so strong, he is planning to do his physical therapy there after getting a right knee replacement next week.

Here are more reasons why Nalco Environmental Hygiene Services (EHS) is unmatched in the area of disinfecting and cleaning of cooling towers:
Nalco's Cleaning and Disinfection Programs help facilities dramatically reduce carbon footprints by taking small steps that reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from burning fossil fuels and produce significant energy savings.
Your employees are no longer exposed to harmful, aerosolized bacteria during or after the cleaning – this leads to fewer employee sick days that otherwise might follow cooling tower cleanings.
OSHA recommends this as one way to reduce the health-related risks from bacteria (like Legionella) in cooling towers. We provide documentation and certification for your Risk Management Plan records. This service is just one part of a total portfolio of Legionella Risk Management tools.

Take Skylanders on the go with Cloud Patrol for iOS
I'll be honest, the first time I caught wind of Skylanders I thought it was destined to flop. After all, a kid's franchise based in the universe of a barely loved PlayStation-era dragon (Spryo)? Seemed like a Pokemon wannabe at best. Yet here we are now, with kids everywhere happily locking Skylanders toys into the graviton powerbase (no, I have no idea what it's actually called), with overgrown manboys fighting for the latest translucent chase figures in the aisles of Target and Toys R' Us.
Anyhow, if you're either eight years old or horribly alone, you'll probably be excited for this iOS app, which interestingly enough lets you use your existing Skylanders characters in the game using their web codes. Realizing that this franchise seems to be Pokemon with a bit of web 2.0 built in... hmm, wonder if I can get some stock?
Game info: Join Trigger Happy and the rest of the Skylanders as they patrol the Skylands for escaped trolls! Grab your favorite Skylander and take to the skies in your flying gunship to put those troublesome trolls in their place — Skylanders style.
- Tons of Magic Item boosts, such as Anvil Rain and Time Twister, to super power your adventure.

It began simply enough, with my long-suffering associate Jason Justice and I discussing barbecue. One of the grand Southern traditions, there are plenty of examples of the genre here in the sainted Southland, where it seems like every corner has a stand with a hand-lettered sign reading "Barbecue," "Bar-B-Cue," or, simply, "BBQ." You'll also find lots of strong opinions: The mere mention of a pig slow-cooked over wood can ignite hour-long debates of vinegar based versus mustard, as well as all the other esoterica associated with the Fruit of the Swine.
When it comes to technical knowledge, I'll readily admit my bona fides are iffy at best. I did, however, grow up sliding into booths in places like the Briar Patch and Sprayberry's, as well as that stand at the corner of Long Branch and 52 that has, arguably, the best 'cue north of Atlanta, where even the owners aren't certain what the name of the place is. Not to mention the now-defunct Sweet Daddy Ken's Titanic Barbecue from my college years, whose sign was festooned with the legend "Goes Down Real Good."
All of which is to say, when we heard there was a nationally known barbecue place on Georgia's St. Simons Island called Southern Soul, it became our sworn duty to fuel up my '72 Stingray, aka "Scarlett," and point her sharp nose south toward the coast. To do this properly, however, we decided to do it old-school: no Interstates, and no GPS. Instead, we'd rely on my well-stained 2002 Rand McNally, which has been from Key West to the coast of Oregon with me. As it turned out, we'd wind up having a little more of the "old-school" driving experience than originally contemplated.
Since no barbecue road trip is complete without at least three stops, we planned to start out at The Hickory Pig in Gainesville, Georgia, for the first. We expected beautiful weather, so naturally I pulled out the T-tops and stowed them in the suitcase I'd ordered from Corvette America in time for the trip. At around 7:00 that early July morning, I picked up Jason, and, after saying goodbye to his indulgent wife and two sons, off we went.
Itself the recipient of national attention for its barbecue sandwiches, The Hickory Pig is owned and operated by Phil Beaubien, who, a sign inside warns you, is not qualified to teach cows how to swim. He is, however, authorized to fly the ultralight aircraft that he built last year, pictures of which adorn the inside.
Technically, The Hickory Pig isn't open at 7:00 on a Saturday. Biscuit Delight, though, is. They might as well be the same. You open the door into the common dining area, where there are about three tables with chairs around them and all the fitting accoutrements of swinedom. The door on the left, where you usually give Phil your order, is closed. Biscuit Delight's counter on the right, however, is open, and they'll happily pass over a sausage biscuit and cuppa for a reasonable three or four bucks. As it turned out, this was the only pork I ate on the trip: Forever tainted by Kansas City barbecue, I found myself leaning toward beef, leaving Jason to cover the pork side of the ledger.
A little light conversation with the regulars, and it was time to get on the road in earnest. Although it was still before 8:15 when we pulled out, Phil was hard at work outside, a steady stream of smoke already rising from the smoker parked beside the building. Behind the building, incidentally, is the "singing porch," which houses the karaoke machine--something I had discovered quite by accident one afternoon after bursting forth with a few bars of Patsy Cline in the dining area, only to find myself hustled out back for a little impromptu Hank karaoke.
From The Hickory Pig on Thompson Bridge Road, we quickly picked up U.S. 129 (the northern end of which contains the feared Tail of the Dragon) and took it down to Athens, home of the University of Georgia and one of the only two Varsity restaurants I consider legitimate. By Athens, it was starting to warm up a little, so we slathered on a little sunscreen as we took 78 southeast out of town. Since we were avoiding the Interstate, the route we'd plotted out was somewhat circuitous: through Washington, Waynesboro, and Hiltonia, and then past Egypt (no, really--Egypt, Georgia) to the second waypoint, Rusty Pig in Rincon, a suburb of Savannah.
Although we'd planned the trip in advance, what we hadn't expected was the heat. I had been to South Georgia in the summer before--I did 1,800 miles through coastal Georgia and Florida last July in Scarlett--but that first Saturday in July was supposedly the hottest day on record in Georgia, a solid 105 degrees. And while my Corvette is equipped with A/C, it doesn't work. With the top off beneath the merciless sun, the heat quickly became unbearable in the car. An intelligent man would have put the top on, but I mistakenly thought the increased airflow would overcome the soaking heat from direct sunlight. I was wrong.
We paused for a map check underneath a BP's awning after we crossed I-20, and then left civilization for the true back roads--roads with more nothing than I'm used to seeing in one place. Don't think I'm dog-talking rural Georgia: I live in rural Georgia. But where I am, we have mountains, curves, the occasional brook…nothing like these featureless state highways, arrow straight and un-shaded as they stretched endlessly through the piney woods, portions of roadway completely submerged in the mirage.
As we were pulling out of Thomson, still a little early for lunch but open to serendipity, we passed a barbecue joint near a strip center.
"What do you think?" I asked Jason.
"I smell something," he replied pensively. "But it could be the car." We kept going.
From there, our route took us through Waynesboro, the Bird Dog Capital of the World, through another town advertising its Mule Day celebration, and on to Rincon in the searing heat. Every hour or two we stopped for more sunscreen and either water or Gatorade to replace the sweat pouring out of our bodies.
We pulled into Rusty Pig around a quarter to 2:00, having been on the road for more than five hours and feeling more dead than alive. I was acutely aware that we had sweated through all of our clothing and could not possibly smell pleasant. I ordered a brisket plate and headed for the men's room to wash up as best I could.

The CIA and the Moral Sunk Costs of the Torture Program
This morning, The Washington Post has a blockbuster story about that 6,300-page Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA's torture program. The part that will likely get the most attention is the conclusion that torture produced little if any useful intelligence, which is extremely important. But even more damning is the picture the committee paints of a CIA that all along was trying to convince everyone that what they were doing was effective, even as it failed to produce results. I have a post on this over at the Post this morning, but I want to elaborate on this aspect of the story. This is a tale of moral sunk costs, and how people react when they've sold their souls and realize that they won't even get paid what they bargained for.
In case you're unfamiliar with the economic idea of sunk costs (here's a nice summary), it's basically the idea of throwing good money after bad: once you've gone down a particular path, what you've already invested (money, time, effort) acts as an emotional tug preventing you from abandoning that path even if a more rational assessment would dictate that you change course.
In the case of the CIA (and the Bush administration), they had a moral sunk cost in the torture program. They had made an extraordinary ethical choice, to make torture the official policy of the United States (and renaming it "enhanced interrogation" wasn't going to fool anyone, not even themselves). Once that decision was made and the torture began, it had to be effective, and not just effective but fantastically effective, in order to justify the moral compromise they had made. When the torture program failed to produce the results they hoped for, they could have said, "This stuff isn't working; let's focus on what does." But by then they couldn't retreat; the only hope of balancing the moral scales was to go forward. They were probably hoping that if they just kept on torturing, eventually it would produce something helpful and the whole program could be justified. But in the meantime, they'd try to fool people into thinking it was working splendidly:
One official said that almost all of the critical threat-related information from Abu Zubaida was obtained during the period when he was questioned by [FBI interrogator Ali] Soufan at a hospital in Pakistan, well before he was interrogated by the CIA and waterboarded 83 times.
Information obtained by Soufan, however, was passed up through the ranks of the U.S. intelligence community, the Justice Department and Congress as though it were part of what CIA interrogators had obtained, according to the committee report.
"The CIA conflated what was gotten when, which led them to misrepresent the effectiveness of the program," said a second U.S. official who has reviewed the report. The official described the persistence of such misstatements as among "the most damaging" of the committee's conclusions…
The committee described a similar sequence in the interrogation of Hassan Ghul, an al-Qaeda operative who provided a critical lead in the search for bin Laden: the fact that the al-Qaeda leader's most trusted courier used the moniker "al-Kuwaiti."
But Ghul disclosed that detail while being interrogated by Kurdish authorities in northern Iraq who posed questions scripted by CIA analysts. The information from that period was subsequently conflated with lesser intelligence gathered from Ghul at a secret CIA prison in Romania, officials said. Ghul was later turned over to authorities in Pakistan, where he was subsequently released. He was killed by a CIA drone strike in 2012.
So over and over, the CIA is attributing information they got through ordinary interrogation to torture. If the torture program was even marginally effective, there would be no need to do so; it wouldn't be threatened by the fact that some information came from other means, so long as torture was producing some other information as well. Only if the torture program was useless would it become necessary to lie about it.
The picture this paints is one of an agency that is simultaneously torturing prisoners, without much effect, and also trying desperately to tell a story to the rest of the government that the torture is working. And to this day, everyone on up the chain—most recently Dick Cheney, who said the other day of the torture program that he'd do it all over again, because "The results speak for themselves"—insists the same thing. Because if it didn't work, what are they? They're monsters. They transgressed one of humanity's most profound moral injunctions, for nothing. And no one wants to believe that about themselves.

Since when did the CIA EVER get presumptive credibility for ANY of its communications? Why should any of this be a surprise? That bunch, along with the FBI, have obviously been lying to the American people and corrupting belief in US government credibility for a long, long time. None of them is to be given any benefit of any doubt.
It's way past time for some healthy US citizen skepticism. The ongoing and thoroughly corrupt "pseudo-war" in central Asia has no more merit than did the Vietnam nonsense. I trust Edward Snowden and Julian Assange over Barack Obama and his gang of snoopy, war-mongering thugs any day! All they have accomplished is to embrace the same lying nonsense generated by George W. Bush and HIS predecessors!

I have been following this issue from afar (Canada) since Bush made torture legal based on some tortured legalese produced by John Yoo. Finally Americans have a report that confirms what the witch-finders and the courts of Europe concluded in the early 17th century. Now come the counterarguments.
Tue, 2014-04-01 15:10
I'll never forget George Tenent in a 60 Minutes interview, suddenly leap forward and emphatically tell his interviewer, "We don't torture." He was really incensed about it.
It included waterboarding. He knew that. Waterboarding had been used in WW II and Japanese soldiers who had practiced it were executed or subjected to lengthy sentences of hard labor after being tried.
But all we had to do was change the name to "enhanced interrogation" and poof....no problem. We don't torture.
Sure, we keep them up for days on end, subject them to loud music, slam them into a wall, dangle them by their arms and legs, wrap them in sleeping bags and sit on them, subject them to intense heat and cold and complete isolation......but "we don't torture."
You mentioned that "nobody wants to think of themselves" as torturers. There's the rub. Cheney never has and never will think of himself as a torturer. He's Kiefer Sutherland with a mission to save the nation. And it is how he lives with himself today.
If equal justice were ever meted out, Dick's ticker would be trying to deal with hard labor at a minimum. But it wouldn't be torture...because we don't do that. And if you disagree with us, we have Mr. Yoo to back us up.

Oh if only! Ignore list doesn't cut it. I would even put money into a pool towards banning certain members I severely dislike (not on grounds of political opinion in RWI but purely because they constantly make stupid troll posts), but then that is a slippery slope that could just as well back fire.
Give us banning permissions on trolls (At our discretion )

The way I see it, advertising pays for the use of the site you visit. Either whitelist the Ads or buy a Sub (or both). You're just freeloading otherwise.
Well here is my critique which is just my honest opinion.
- All advertising removed professionally by Neowin.
So as you can see these are some good reasons to sub, however not good enough for me. I think other than the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting such a great site there is no other reason I can see that I would like to sub.
- This saves me having to get an addon.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love a good enough reason to want to but that just isn't here yet unfortunately

1.Up the price in a combo of tshirt + sub, eg, $35 for a sub free tshirt included or whatever, just at a lower price than just getting tshirt + subs.Though shipping outside of UK and US would be expensive.

Steelers make changes to depth chartPosted by on November 27, 2012 – 12:00 pm
The Steelers depth chart took on a new look on Tuesday with Jonathan Dwyer now listed as the first-team running back. Isaac Redman is listed as his backup, while former starter Rashard Mendenhall is listed as the team's third back.
Dwyer is the Steelers leading rusher with 98 carries for 429 yards, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. Redman has 87 carries for 307 yards and two touchdowns, while Mendenhall has 34 carries for 113 yards.
"Jonathan Dwyer is going to start for us," said Tomlin. "He has been consistently the most productive guy. I think we've got a large enough body of work to identify that at this point. We've been working at less than ideal circumstances with the rotation and shuffling those guys due to health and lack of production. But over the course of the last several weeks it is obvious he is healthy and he is the most productive of the group.
"He will start for us and get the bulk of the carries. The other guys will supplement him in some form or fashion based on situation and how we formulate a game plan."
In addition, at wide receiver it now has either Mike Wallace or Emmanuel Sanders starting on the one side, with Antonio Brown still listed as the other starter when he returns healthy. Sanders had five receptions for 75 yards in last week's 20-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns, while Wallace had just one catch for nine yards.
Tomlin said situations will determine who will start there, and that he has not seen any lack of effort from Wallace.
"Mike was frustrated on Sunday and rightfully so," said Tomlin. "He is not producing in the manner he would like to or we would like him to. It's a function of a lot of things. He is going to be committed to continuing to work and we are committed to that as well."

Thanks for finally seeing what all of us do, that Dwyer is your #1 running back.

It has appeared to me that Wallace does not have his head in the game and he does not want to be a Steeler. He has dropped more passes than I can count and his effort going after balls is weak. All of this after a hold out for a bigger contract. Now you see why he didn't get that contract. If you get your head in the game the Steelers certainly give you a good offer and make you a rich man.

I think we need to cut ties with Mendenhall after this year. Just not durable enough for what he is paid. Got to move on which is what it looks like the Steelers are rightfully doing.
Wallace does look as if he is lacking intensity. maybe he is discruntled. If so see ya and sign a new receiver. Great speed and talent but you got to pull your weight.

first let me say i just love the fact mike wallace is a steeler . now with that said , it seems like everytime wallace has to cross the middle and catch the ball he either fumbles or juggles or flat out doesnt catch the ball ! now he does take the top off a defence but you cant throw the ball deep on every play and it looks like to me thats all he is willing to do ! if he catches a screen he doesnt run hard and he goes out of bounds way to soon . i think and this is my opinion , if he wants the kind of money that he's asking for to stay in pittsburg he has to be more consistant and has to do more ! the great ones find a way to get open regardless who's at QB !

Wallace looked out of sorts Sunday. It was like he expected the passes to be over the defenders. I'm sure it's a product of different QB, but he could have come back to ball some.

Good move….give more looks to Heath. He'll get the job done.

A good move at this point in the season, Dwyer is just performing to the level needed right now. Mendy and Redman are both excellent players just not finding the way to gain yardage. Rainey looks good just young and a specialty player.
Mike Wallace looks like he is trying, yes he held out but he jumped right in with both feet and produced. Every receiver drops passes, but the ball is put into positions alot of the time with very low probabability for coompletion.
Over all the team looks good there is just too many moving parts at key positions to establish continuity and it shows.

Finally, we are alll seeing the same signs. Dont get me wrong, I love Mike and Mendy, but production from both has been weak. I've been a steelers fan my whole life, and seen multiple receivers and backs come and go. Some to soon and some to fast, but what I do know, is if we want to win games, we all have to be focused and determined. We are always told your only as strong as your weakest link. Regardless of how quick or your ability, you must be focused or I could pick out 10 more like you. So Im challenging you (Mike and Mendy) show me why you are a steeler. Show me that steeler pride and commitment to 100. Cause I know you both got it. And I got your backs. BTW I cant really afford tickets but Id love some. LOL

I have had a problem with Haley's play calling in most games this year. Maybe you can't throw it deep to Wallace every play, but I guarantee if you do it several times a game you'll get a touchdown or a long penalty, because he can outrun all others in the nfl, not to mention he will back those guys off the line of scrimmage. Secondly, if Haley had stuck to the run against Baltimore they would have won that game. Instead he kept going to the pass with a quarterback that did not belong in the game after the first drive. Sunday was all on the players. I have some serious questions about the balls the Steelers were using. I'm thinking the manager from USC was hired by the Browns and made some adjustments.
By southernsteelersfan on Nov 27, 2012 | Reply
Obviously I'm not the only one that thinks Wallace isn't Making the effort to catch the ball that is needed to keep his job!! He could have come back to the ball in Sundays game and saved an INT at the very least or possibly even scored a TD,,but he would seem to think himself beyond that concept! He won't take a hit to make a catch!!! I miss Heinz Ward!! Heath Miller is better than Wallace will ever aspire to be with his attitude!!

Origins of Salsa Dancing
The sensual, fluid moves of the salsa dance have a 90-year history. Today's salsa dancing is a blend of Latin American and Western influences from Puerto Rico, Cuba and Columbia. The steps are derived from a variety of Latin dances including the cha cha, mambo and rumba. There are variations, however, and today, elements of other dances such as hip hop, flamenco and ballroom are found in contemporary salsa dancing.
Salsa Basics
In salsa dancing, you most often work with a partner; however, there are other forms of salsa dancing as well. Salsa can be danced solo, in a line formation, called suelta, and with groups of couples exchanging partners in a circle, known as Rueda de Casino.
The salsa is characterized by its sensuous hip movements, expert footwork and rhythmic music. Partners usually face each other and keep the weight on the balls of their feet. There are a few basic steps in the salsa, the most common being the three steps to each four beats, with the steps not always the same in length. Arm movements should be natural, and the upper body stays level and does not move.
Learning to Salsa
There are books, videos and DVDs that will teach you to salsa. In addition, the Internet (YouTube.com) has lessons that will help you learn the basic steps at home. There are also many classes in the community that offer salsa dance lessons for beginners, as well as advanced students.
Word of Advice
Be sure not to swap your dance workout for other high intensity exercise — cardiovascular exercise still needs to be a part of your fitness plan. In addition, if you are salsa dancing at a club, remember not to undermine all of your hard work by splurging on high-calorie drinks and snacks.

The transition from one Okaloosa County superintendent of schools to another was well under way by mid-morning Wednesday.
Outgoing Superintendent Alexis Tibbetts started the ball rolling by asking her senior staff to start developing packets of information vital for Mary Beth Jackson when she takes over Nov. 20.
"We will bring her along with whatever she needs," Tibbetts said. "The process is (about) just keeping her informed."
Information being prepared is related to the budget, the bargaining process between the school district and the Okaloosa County Education Association — which are negotiating a new 3-year contract for teachers — and other major issues expected in the coming months, Tibbetts said.
"I think if she's got to live with something for three or fours years, she's got to be part of it," Tibbetts said.
Jackson said she started making similar inroads Wednesday and planned to be well informed when she is sworn in.
Jackson has asked senior staffers to meet with her next week to share what they're working on now and what's on the horizon. She also has requested information regarding the state's class size requirements, the budget and pending legal issues.
"It will have some bumps, but what we're hoping to do is get a real good handle on where everyone is and the projects they are working on," Jackson said.
To help ease the transition, Deputy Superintendent Kaye McKinley has been tapped to act as a liaison between Tibbetts and Jackson.
In addition to the inquiries within the administration, Jackson said she is setting up parent focus groups to find out what they want and need from the schools.
"We work for the community," Jackson said. "And I want to make sure that I'm listening."
The details of what her top priorities will be when she takes office will be hammered out over the next few months, she said, but personnel changes will be coming.
Jackson can make some changes, but School Board policy will control many aspects of the transition, just as it has in years past, according to board members.
For example, Jackson can shuffle around administers, but will not be able to terminate any of them easily under the current board policy, according to Chairman Rodney Walker.
All administrators, from deputy superintendents to principals to assistant principals to curriculum specialists, have one-year contracts that will not expire until June 30, 2013.
If administrators are removed from their current position, their salary would follow them through that date unless the board and the individual agree to a buyout, Walker said.
Also, any administrator with three or more years of district service that Jackson might not want to keep after June 30 must be offered a teaching position, he said.
Jackson said Tuesday that she has been working on a transition plan for about six months.
Board members said they will work with her just as they did Tibbetts when she took over six years ago.
"I think Mary Beth will bring her own priorities and expertise when she comes in just like Alexis Tibbetts," board member Cindy Frakes said.
Board members said the top priorities will continue to be students and staff.
"We're all a team and we're going to do what's best for Okaloosa County," said Vice Chairwoman Cathy Thigpen, who was re-elected Tuesday.
Thigpen took a moment to praise Tibbetts, who she has worked with for about 12 years.
"I admire her as an educator and as our superintendent," she said. "She's brought this district forward in a lot of areas, and I will miss having her bubbly spirit."

This Limestone Home is My Inspiration House
35 Responses to "This Limestone Home is My Inspiration House"
It's obvious I know nothing at all about Texas...
roadtrip coming up!
It is a beautiful home~ lots of great textures` calm spaces, but it doesn't feel feminine at all.
Hi Kare, I thought the addition of fabrics, rugs, the slips, and whites and off whites seemed feminine. A really totally masculine home, for me, would have included all leather and wood furniture, a dark color palette.... That's what I drew from it, which is all subjective, of course. What do others think . . . are there any feminine qualities here?
Hi Susan, first off I really like Ginger Barber. I would guess if you were to actually view this home in person it would be more colorful than the photos show because the artwork rally pops. I really need to go to Texas! Thanks for the inspiration : )
It's beautiful! I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers.
Love the touches of limestone throughout.
I love these homes. I saw so many when I lived in New Braunfels, between Austin and San Antonio.
This is just magnificent. I wouldn't change a thing. That Library is wonderful. Fantastic post..
when you build yours,build me one too.. Thanks for the tour.
That beautiful house will be there for hundreds of years for generations to enjoy. The entrance door says it all.
Stunning! I love the swing and the screened porch, too.
I love the stone, and have a stone cottage - although not small. Mine seems more "comfortable" inside than this one. I think due to the more contemporary furnishing of this one.
If we build again, it will be similar to our current home, but much smaller - and as much stone as budget will allow!
beautiful house... have a great weekend!
I'm a Texas girl too who should live in the Hill country, but I got stopped in Dallas and never left! The Austin stone is a hallmark of that area of th state, and I've seen it used more and more often here in Big D. This was a wonderful tour of a great Texas Hill country house! Beautiful!
Hello Kare,
Thank you so much for sharing this house with us! I looked at your post of this home several times!
I also love the limestone! The house is as beautiful at the outside as on the inside!!
I go to visit the website of Tom Wilon Architects right now!
OMG - I want that porch off the master! This whole house is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
there is something so warm about this house. Love it!
Hi Susan,
Ginger Barber is one of my favourite interior designers. I don't think it is too masculine. I could see it is very 'Ginger' and I thought there was a great understanding from her as to how it should look and 'feel'. I'm sure as one of your other readers suggested if you were to walk through this in person there would be more colour variation and the feeling that everything is 'right'. Loved all the architecture also, always adds to the overall ambience. Thanks for the tour, really enjoyed it.
Take care
Tasmania, Australia
That is a looker - I am passing it on to my brother in Houston who wants to build a house on his ranch outside of town. Good choice and love that Texas Limestone!
My Texas heart is beating loudly for this beautiful home. *sigh*
I adore the kitchen/family room and that wonderful library.
Now I know exactly what I'll do with my money when I win at Texas lotto! I'll call Tom Wilson Architects! -- HollyM
Your accepted wisdom is great. I do welcome your treasured thought. I am enchanted to know your valued intelligence.
Your blog is sane. Thanks for keep well-versed. I like your blog very much. For more information I will be in touch.
We have [almost] the same balcony! Ours is made of liquid limestone from Perth, and our furniture were sort of black-brown in color. Your living room's very relaxing to look at!
I am so in love with your house, that I wanna use it for my next film project! And since my favorite part is your 11th picture, I'll do a private investigation in that are and I'll play the role of a detective.
With this type of house, it's kinda hard to find the best computer chair that fits the theme. But the house looks really awesome.
Wooden floors always look classy. That's why we took recycled timbers from our other house just to reuse them for our floor. A couple bottles of varnish did the trick. Now they look new and neat!
I love the floor too! It's like they're made of cherry hardwood. Always neat, specially if you have a child at home. Less mess, more style!
Beautiful home. I love the look of limestone architecture. My dad's company produces a "limestone alternative" for those who want the exact look of limestone (uses a crushed limestone plaster) but it's much much cheaper than the real thing! Here's some photos: Limestone Alternative Photos
I love your house! Plus, you have a great taste for furniture! I hope you can help me choose mine for my house because I'm moving soon. Thanks for sharing!
Now that is a home! It's noticeable how mirrors can lift up the mood of the rooms. Aside from having great shots in the pictures (kudos to you!), it made the house look bigger and more spacious despite the crowded furniture sets.
Seeing a beautiful piece of art like this in a home is heavenly! It is so beautiful.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee published in 1960< read all 130 reviews
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers, and a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explained the novel's impact by writing, " in the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism."
The primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence, but scholars have also noted that Lee addresses the issues of class tensions, courage and compassion, and gender roles in the American Deep South. The book is widely taught in schools in English-speaking countries with lessons that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice. Despite its themes, To Kill a Mockingbird has been the target of various campaigns to have it removed from public classrooms. Often the book is challenged for its use of racial epithets, and writers have noticed that although white readers react favorably to the novel, black readers tend to respond less positively.

"I've been ordering cards from tiny prints for five years. Quality is fantastic and delivery in two days is huge plus for this last minute Mom ;) I order multiple cards a year for various holidays and birthday and keep coming back to tiny prints. Reliable regarding quality product and customer service."
"This card was so cute! I had to order more because I couldn't stop handing it out to friends and neighbors. The post card form was so convenient for a Valentine (and cheaper postage)."
"As always, I was very impressed with the quality and design of this Tiny Prints card. I'm so excited for our loved ones to receive this Valentine from our family!"
"The quality of this card is expected...excellent! I also ordered Christmas cards that were of similar style. The weight of the card stock is of good quality. We were very proud to put our Christmas cards in the mail and will feel the same with our Valentine's Day greeting. Great selection of styles. Only wish there was no extra charge for the rounded corners, IMO that should be standard.Thanks tinyprints!"

When you have Windows 8 DON'T EVER USE THAT FREE UTILITY Startup Sound Changer !!!!
It screws up your imageres.dll. After reboot your Metro interface will be mixed up with your desktop, and it'll be a complete mess when you try to do something.
Basically, your Windows and all your programs work perfectly, but because your display is a mess it will be quite useless.
The only way I found to do something is:
- switch to the window you want to see using Alt-Tab
- use Winkey-L to go to the Lock screen
- log in again
and voilá, you can use the window you just switched to.
I have been trying a whole day to find out that it was in fact the imageres.dll that caused the troubles, and then it took a while to get an uncorrputed version of that file.
The fix is:
- install the very same Windows 8 version onto another pc (Note that you have 64 and 32 bits, and it could be localized)
- rename the corrupted file to imageres.dll.corrupt or something else (you are not allowed to overwrite it)
- copy the file c:\windows\system32\imageres.dll from the new Windows 8 set up to your pc
- reboot

This is the easiest way. You have to edit the registry, but it's easy.

Highlights From the Archives
Camus as a Principled Rebel Among Poseurs
Of all the major French literary figures of the 1950's and 1960's, the ''hommes engages'' who combined books with political activism, Albert Camus has perhaps best stood the test of time. His friend and later bitter rival Jean-Paul Sartre seems, in retrospect, a trendy poseur discredited by his abject failure to repudiate left-wing totalitarianism.December 19, 1997 artsReview
A Fatherless Boy in Algeria, Like Camus
A reassessment of Camus has long been overdue, and the belated publication of "The First Man" should provide the impetus for just such an undertaking. The manuscript, which was to be part of an epic novel that was left uncompleted at Camus's death, serves as a kind of magical Rosetta stone to his entire career, illuminating both his life and his work with stunning candor and passion.August 25, 1995 artsReview

Today, a Greenpeace team flew our airship with a banner reading "Koch Brothers: Dirty Money" over Rancho Mirage, California as oil billionaires David and Charles Koch convened their latest secret political strategy meeting at a resort in that town. The aerial message to arriving attendees of the meeting highlighted the Koch Brothers' ongoing use of their vast oil profits to push a polluter agenda through campaign contributions, lobbying, and funding fronts groups and think tanks.In conjunction with today's airship action, Greenpeace has also obtained and analyzed tax forms from the various Koch charitable foundations. These records show that in 2009, the oil billionaires gave an additional $6.4 million to front groups and think tanks that spread inaccurate and misleading information about climate science and clean energy policies.This updates findings from our March 2010 report, Koch Industries, Secretly Funding the Climate Denial Machine, and show that Koch foundations have given a total of $54.9 million to climate denial organizations since 1997, including $31.3 million in recent years of 2005 – 2009.The Kochs were thrust into the spotlight in 2010 by an August expose in the New Yorker magazine. This 'secret' meeting was revealed by an invitation leak to the New York Times in October and offers a glimpse of the way that the Koch Brothers use their network of corporate executives, polluter-friendly politicians and media personalities to hone political strategies and bundle money to fund front groups and other campaigns. POLITICO dug deeper into the participants and objectives of the meeting earlier this week, and Lee Fang from Think Progress has new details about some of the attendees expected this weekend, and what the Koch Brothers have planned.Thus begins a weekend of events to Uncloak the Kochs and their corporate polluter agenda. On Sunday, hundreds of people from a diverse coalition of labor, environmental, consumer, and other groups will protest the Koch Brothers' strategy meeting at the Rancho Las Palmas resort in Rancho Mirage.David and Charles Koch used their dirty money to block progress on clean energy and climate change policies, and now they're scheming to roll back the Clean Air Act and other critical health and environmental protections with their partners in Congress. Their agenda of increased polluter profits at the expense of people, our health, and environment must be exposed and stopped.Tax records obtained by Greenpeace show that Koch foundations continued funneling money to front groups and think tanks that spread inaccurate and misleading information about climate science and clean energy policies. The tax records from David H. Koch Charitable Foundation, Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation and the Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation show:
-- In 2009, the latest year for which data is now available, the Koch foundations continued the pace of recent funding, providing over $6.4 million dollars to a familiar array of conservative organizations that engage in global warming denial.-- The new total funding to these climate denial organizations is $54.9 million since 1997 and $31.3 million since 2005.-- Top recipients in 2009 included The Institute for Humane Studies, the Mercatus Center, Americans for Prosperity, the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute. -- Americans for Prosperity has now received over $5.6 million in documented donations from the Koch foundations.

I have come to question the motives of environmental groups.
I tried to remove an illegal trucking business that was operating next to a childrens park. Diesel trucks would park, engines running, and send their fumes into the park.
The park is owned and operated by an "Environmental Justice Group"
When I pointed out the pollution, the Executive Director of the group attacked me in the press. I was called a "snitch".
In the end, I was able to get the toxic business removed from the area.

Great work Greenpeace. Lets keep the spotlight on the dirty Kock brothers and their attempts to hold secret meetings with their corporate allies. It would also be nice if Greenpeace did an investigation on how much the mendacious republican US congress is being paid by the dirty corporate fossil fuel interest. The republicans, in the US congress are being paid illegal contributions by big fossil fuel polluting companies like coal, oil, and natural gas, to lie about and deny Global Warming.

What's really sad is that if they'd just put that kind of money into actually DOING SOMETHING about climate change, and investing in green energy, surely they could still make money AND make a difference. I just don't get it.

Too many people in this world are concerned for money. The rich get richer and the poor and uninformed have to suffer. The only way to stop this is to get more people to care about these serious environmental issues. I have talked with people and they are scared and do not want to hear about it. Too many people are in denial about global warming, I now see why!! I wish more people would care about one another and the earth. It is very sad how greedy this world has become. We the people so need to stand up for what we beleive in. My idea of wealth and success is making a posative change in the world!!!

Dr. Sebastian Berger was recognized by the Association for Social Economics
Berger an assistant professor of economics was presented with the 2008 Helen Potter Award of Special Recognition
Dr. Sebastian Berger, assistant professor of economics, was recently honored with an international economics award. The 2008 Helen Potter Award of Special Recognition was presented to Berger by the Association for Social Economics for the most original article by a promising scholar.
The article was published in the September 2008 issue of Review of Social Economy. "Karl Polanyi's and Karl William Kapp's Substantive Economics: Important Insights from the Kapp-Polanyi Correspondence," was written when Berger taught at the University of Missouri Kansas City. He joined Roanoke College in the fall of 2008.
"It's an incredibly impressive thing for our students to have a professor who has been recognized internationally for research," says Dr. Larry Lynch, chairman of the business administration and economics department. "I don't know that our students know about it - it's not that we tell them he won this award," Lynch adds. "It's just that it shows the caliber of faculty members we have teaching our students."
Berger found unpublished letters of the two economists in an archive in Switzerland. The research sheds new light to the field of substantive economics and the relationship between the two economists. Most importantly, Berger's research highlights the importance of historical and anthropological economics for understanding the modern economy. Emerging from this field of inquiry are questions such as "Is it 'natural' for humans to be a means to the economy?" and "How can the economy be re-embedded into ecological and cultural relations to guarantee the satisfaction of substantive human needs?"
"Winning the Helen Potter Award confirms what everyone acquainted with Dr. Berger already knows: he is an excellent scholar who cares about the big issues facing humanity," Dr. Edward Nik-Khah, assistant professor of economics, said. "We are fortunate to have as a colleague someone who is so highly esteemed in his field. Roanoke students are fortunate for the opportunity to learn about economics from someone who is at the cutting edge of the field."
Berger earned the Ph.D. from Bremen University in Germany. He holds a master's in business administration as well as a bachelor's degree from Chemnitz University of Technology.

Ben "You Sure Gots A Pretty Mouth" Rothwell.
Ben "You Sure Gots A Pretty Mouth" Rothwell.
This is the longest I've seen somebody stand with Vera in YEEEEEEARS.
Rogan and Goldy 100% kayfabing on Rothwell's "in tremendous shape" origins. He just MAGICALLY started looking better in his 30s than he did in his 20s. Golly.
No joke, but in other wacky HW news, apparently Kalib Starnes fought Tim Hague last month at HW.
Vera needs to start throwing combos. I don't I have seen more than 2 punches/kicks in succession by him.
Bye bye Vera .......
Good win for Ben, Vera looked like he was sparring in there.
Yeah!!! TRT FTMFW!!!
It's been real and I've been waiting for him to "put it all together" for the longest time, but I think we can finally close the casket on Vera's UFC career, unless they want to do Hunt/Vera, but considering that fight took place entirely on the feet and Vera always talks about how guys won't stand with him, I don't think he has too much of an argument.
Hard not to cheer for Rothwell, great win
"To be truly walking on the warrior's path, we have to bring our minds back to the time when we were not ashamed of our dreams; when reality had not yet frustrated our ambitions; when our desire was still too strong to be repressed, and our spirit refused to surrender in resignation; when we were not yet doctors, businessmen, or lawyers, but still wanted to be heroes, leaders, bodhisattvas. The first step on the way to being warriors is to get back in touch with our dreams."

How you react to this "revelation" depends on what you believe about the fellow.
Instead, the muckraker only seemed to grow bolder and more dangerous with his every revelation.
Jace Lacob on the revelation and how it connects to Don Draper.
c.1300, "disclosure of information to man by a divine or supernatural agency," from Old French revelacion and directly from Latin revelationem (nominative revelatio), noun of action from past participle stem of revelare "unveil, uncover, lay bare" (see reveal). General meaning "disclosure of facts" is attested from late 14c.; meaning "striking disclosure" is from 1862. As the name of the last book of the New Testament (Revelation of St. John), it is first attested late 14c. (see apocalypse); as simply Revelations, it is first recorded 1690s.
an uncovering, a bringing to light of that which had been previously wholly hidden or only obscurely seen. God has been pleased in various ways and at different times (Heb. 1:1) to make a supernatural revelation of himself and his purposes and plans, which, under the guidance of his Spirit, has been committed to writing. (See WORD OF GOD.) The Scriptures are not merely the "record" of revelation; they are the revelation itself in a written form, in order to the accurate presevation and propagation of the truth. Revelation and inspiration differ. Revelation is the supernatural communication of truth to the mind; inspiration (q.v.) secures to the teacher or writer infallibility in communicating that truth to others. It renders its subject the spokesman or prophet of God in such a sense that everything he asserts to be true, whether fact or doctrine or moral principle, is true, infallibly true.

Introducing the new Grapefruit candle
One goal I set for myself in 2013 was to be more active. I've been setting aside time to fit in some yoga, go for long walks, and ride bikes with the kids when the weather permits. One activity I've been hearing a lot about is SoulCycle which apparently has a cult following in NYC, though it isn't yet available here in Indiana. Have any of you tried it?
Besides the rigorous workout, I love how they incorporate candles into their workouts as an energizing tool and thought I'd bring some of that into my own at-home sessions. Our new Grapefruit candle is perfect for people who workout at home and want to set a motivational mood, or for people who just like the inviting scent of a citrus candle. A beguiling scent, this grapefruit candle offers a fresh infusion of citrus with spicy bottom notes of ginger and green wood. Would you incorporate candles into your workouts? I've really been enjoying it!
If you'd like to give it a try, you can purchase our new Grapefruit candle, here.

To continue on this same theme - there are model electric motors of 3 horsepower that can be held in the palm of one hand. Back in my days in industry, a 3HP motor was 415 volts AC and was not able to be lifted by one person. Being pretty ignorant of "electrickery" - how can the model motors be so powerful for their size?
I suspect that the paramount reason is the brushless motors with 100 000 Rpm?

A scholarship for the Wind Turbine Service Technology Certificate may be available by completing the the following application:
Participant Application for Green Skill Development Training/Shenandoah Valley Workforce Investment Board, Inc.
Also, please be advised that a Free Application for Federal Student Aid must have been completed and submitted before this scholarship for the Wind Turbine Scholarship will be processed.
For other DSLCC offerings, the following scholarship information will be helpful:
Through the DSLCC Educational Foundation, eligible students may receive financial assistance with the cost of tuition and/or textbooks. Most scholarships are general in nature, while others have been designated by donors for students preparing to enter a specific program of study or career field. Some scholarships have an added requirement that the recipients be natives of (or have resided or attended public schools in) a specific geographic area, which generally reflects the wishes of the donor(s) who may have personally lived or worked in that location or have other personal reasons for adding that stipulation.
Assistance is also available for students who plan to complete an internship/co-op experience as part of the fulfillment of their associate degree/certificate requirements. The internship/co-op experience may be one that is listed as an official requirement or one in which the student has a strong interest in pursuing. These activities are encouraged, not only to provide opportunities for students to learn or strengthen content-related skills, but also to gain an understanding of the field in which they plan to develop a career.
DSLCC welcomes all students, whether they begin taking classes while still enrolled in high school, enter the college immediately after graduation from high school or earning a GED, or decide to postpone attending college for a brief (or even extended) time after completing high school. Most scholarships are developed with traditional-age students in mind, but there are a number of awards meant to assist those individuals who decide to enroll in college after having been out of a formal learning environment for many years; this may pertain to those whose family situation(s) or employment status may have limited or prevented them from attending college. Some individuals become students later in life to gain or update skills and knowledge with which to secure employment, or to prepare for switching to another career field. DSLCC strongly encourages all incoming students to learn about the forms of assistance available through the DSLCC Educational Foundation.
All students are encouraged to learn more about the numerous opportunities for financial assistance available through the DSLCC Educational Foundation. The office suite is located on the main campus in Backels Hall, first floor, in rooms 104-105. For details on each scholarship or to learn about the application process, call 540/863-2837 or email Rachael Thompson, director of the Educational Foundation, at email@example.com.
