Veg Pledge:
5 Days of Clean Eating
We're getting plant strong!
Wanna join the likes of Van Gogh, Einstein, da Vinci and Gandhi?
Come join me in for a 5 day Veg Pledge! This challenge is a 5-day experience where you will infuse your body with nutrient dense plant foods along side a warm and supportive community of friends from around the globe! It's five days of veggies, fruits, grains, beans, nuts, seeds and love!
You can choose how plant strong you want your 5 days to be. Go total veggie and refrain from eating meat, fish, dairy (and cheese). Or lovingly lean in starting with one meal per day and then two. It's all up to you and what feels best in your life + body.
I believe we can heal from the inside out.
I believe food can provide dramatic shifts.
Here's the real truth… the WHY I'm doing this Veg Pledge. After a really heavy week of loved ones struggling with health related issues I decided to devote a week to helping people to infuse nutrient dense foods into their bodies! Veg Pledge is my way of doing something to help. I'd love it if you'd join me or purchase the pledge for a loved one who's in the midst of a health issue. You are always welcome to buy the pledge now and save the emails, recipes and shopping list for when you're ready.
It's a whole foods feast!
The feedback from the first course has been amazing! Read what some of the previous participants are saying:
•This has been a wonderful and revealing week. I have loved the simplicity of the pledge, the recipes and ingredients. The quinoa, white beans and tomatoes were stirred into baby kale and that will be a new lunch staple. I have loved the whole health approach to the week and I'm grateful for the emotional issues that surfaced and will now get noticed and appreciated instead of ignored. – Laura
•I ended my Pledge last night at the local Greek restaurant with saganaki (fried feta cheese – I know, I know). BUT: 1.) I only had 3 bites, 2.) I CHEWED about 20-25 times, and 3.) I decided I didn't want anymore. WHA??? I mean, what is this vegan voo-doo??? Oh wait, I think Lacy calls it "mindfulness". Loving this exploration!!! – Lisa
•What a week! I love you Lacy for setting this up for us and making it an affordable way to learn new recipes, connect with other veg-minded peeps, and to take time to reflect and spend time on ourselves. I'm having much awareness of how I feel while eating such healthy food. My mind has gone a bit towards eating something unhealthy such as the leftover bag of Halloween candy sitting on my kitchen table. So far, not one sneak of anything. Feels good to stare at it while I walk by it and not partake. – Barb
•Since August I have cut out sugar, wine and most bread. With the help from Lacy I have lost 22lbs but more than that I want this lifestyle to go long into the future. Why? because I feel amazing! – Wendy
•My intention this week is to explore new recipes with the intention of diving deeper into eating a plant-based, whole foods diet. There is more time, thought and effort required, but having a bunch of healthy, yummy recipes at my fingertips makes it less daunting. My sister helped me make my Green Zen smoothie, my mushroom pizza for lunch and I already have dinner planned. Even crazier, I only spent $14 to make 4 meals! – Kristina
• You are passionate about cancer prevention.
• You are a meat + potatoes kind of person and you can't image a week without meat but you're willing to try! Adventure could be your middle name!
• You are a vegetarian or vegan + you're looking to expand your current menu and cut out any veggie junk foods that have crept into your diet.
• You've heard there are huge health benefits to cutting out meat + dairy but you have no idea where to begin.
• You love meatless Monday + a whole week sounds amazing! Scary, but amazing!
• You watched Forks Over Knives, Food Inc, or Hungry For Change and felt deeply moved by what you saw!
• You struggle with high cholesterol.
• You've never been regular and you're wondering what that would be like.
• You are struggling to lose extra lb's.
• You're feeling all kinds of green + you've willing to give a week to save on greenhouse gas emissions.
• You just KNOW that this is the right step for you.
Then this is just for you!
5-Day Veg Pledge:
5 day Veg Pledge is an experiment where practical meets thoughtful. Together, over 5 days we will create a powerful foundation for abundant health and compassionate self-care by celebrating small steps and big light bulb moments on the role that food plays in your life!
Online Course:
Veg Pledge will be delivered right into your email inbox daily for 5 days. There will also be a Facebook community filled with others who are participating. It's a space for sharing + connection throughout the journey! I will be there daily answering your questions and joining in the conversation.
You Receive:
• Recipes + a suggested shopping list to help get you ready for the week. Follow it to the letter or use as inspiration for your week.
• Daily experiments, to-do's + inspiration in your inbox each day.
• An invitation to the private community space on Facebook.
• Oodles of support + encouragement!
This course is $47 and it will SOON be on demand which means you can begin anytime that you're ready!

Complete a 30-minute fuel system tune-up and improve your car engine's response time and idling. The kit only costs $35.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:November 2011
Follow the rubber or plastic air duct from the air filter box up to the
throttle body. Loosen the large hose clamp and twist the duct to loosen it.
Then lift it off the throttle body.
Slip the open end of the injection tube into the throttle body area and
cut it so it sits 1/4 in. back from the throttle plate. Hold the tube in place
and reinstall the air duct.
Spray the front and then the back of the throttle plate with the spray
cleaner. Wipe off excess spray and carbon with a rag.
Do you get a crummy idle or poor engine
response when you put the pedal to the
metal? You may have soot and carbon
buildup on the valves, intake manifold
and throttle body assembly, as well as
clogged fuel injectors. Shops charge $80
and up to perform a fuel induction
cleaning service. But you can do the
same thing in about 30 minutes with
the 3M No. 08963 Do-It-Yourself Fuel
System Tune-Up Kit; about $35. The kit is available through our affiliation with amazon.com. Watch the instructional DVD. Then
grab the kit, a screwdriver, goggles and
rags and you're ready to bust crud.
Start by disconnecting the air duct
(engine off) at the throttle body (Photo
1). Then position the U-shaped injection
tube at 12 o'clock inside the throttle
body (Photo 2). Have a friend start the
engine and press on the gas pedal to
raise the engine speed about 500 rpm
above normal. Press the spray valve on
the aerosol can until it locks open. Then
run the engine at the higher speed until
the can is empty. Shut off the engine
and remove the injection tube.
With the air duct still removed, spray
the front side of the throttle plate with
throttle plate cleaner (Photo 3). Next,
turn the key to the run position (don't
start the engine!) and have your friend
press the gas pedal to the floor. Spray the
back of the throttle plate and any carbon
buildup you see in the throttle area. Turn
the key to "off" and reinstall the air duct.
Finally, dump the bottle of fuel system
cleaner into a full tank of gas (or 1 oz. of
cleaner to 1 gallon of gas) and drive the
vehicle for 15 minutes.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

MSConfig, or Microsoft System Configuration Utility is a utility used to troubleshoot startup problems with Microsoft Windows. MSConfig can modify which programs run at startup, edits certain configuration files and provides users a way to manage system services upon startup. You can run this from most Microsoft operating systems (except some versions of Windows 95, Windows 2000 and Windows NT) by going to Start ⇒ Run ⇒ type in 'MSConfig' and clicking OK.
MSConfig online help page here - (For those that need some help using MSConfig)
Some MSConfig facts:
- MSConfig was in Windows 98, 98se, ME, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
- MSConfig was included in some versions of Windows 95.
- You can copy (or download) MSConfig and put it in Windows 95 if it's not already there. Copy it into the \windows\system folder.
Download MSConfig here: MSConfig for Windows 95 - (Windows 98 version)
- MSConfig was not included in NT nor Windows 2000.
- You can add MSConfig to Windows 2000. Put it in the c:\winnt\system32\ (c:\winnt\ works also) folder.
Download MSConfig here: MSConfig for Windows 2000 - (Windows XP version)
* This assumes that c: drive is where Windows 2000 was installed to.
* The default folder that Windows 2000 installs to is c:\winnt. If the defaults were changed, yours might be different.
- To run MSConfig, hit start, run, and type in MSConfig. Notice the startup tab. Here you can turn off and on those pesky resource hogging applications that run when you boot up your computer.
- Note: MSConfig doesn't have to be put into any folder to run. It can be run from a floppy or put on the desktop and clicked on. Putting it in the correct folder permits you to hit Start > Run to launch it.

Banana Republic Jewelry
Because of my book trip and this being-around-other-humans stuff, I've had to bite the bullet and purchase a few new clothes—you know, something other than black yoga pants and black 3/4 sleeve turtlenecks, which is all I ever want to wear in life. I've done quite a bit of looking around and sizing things up—from high end department stores and boutiques to more economical shops, and have tried my very best to get a handle on what's worth spending money on, and what cute, funky things can be had for a deal.
By the time I figure it all out, my book trip will be over. Totally worth the effort!
Anyway, I've really focused in on finding different jewelry and accessories, because they can really take an outfit from pretty good to really cool, and you can change them up here and there to totally change your whole program. And what I've found about jewelry is that the expensive stuff can be really, really expensive. Like, dumb expensive, and you're not even getting real gold or silver or jewels. I'm sorry but I'm not buying a gold chunky necklace for $500 if the gold isn't even real gold. Think of the lens I could snag for that money. And the lens would be real.
The super cheap stuff is tricky, though. A lot of the time, a gold chunky necklace for $14.99 will look great that night, and maybe a couple of weeks later. But the finish will wear off pretty quickly, and before too long it's unwearable, and unless you've managed to wear it twenty times in that two week period, its a waste of money.
The best jewelry experience I've had in this current shopping era of my life has been at good ol' Banana Republic. Who knew they had such great jewelry?
I love everything there. Awesome colors, interesting styles, nothing's conventional or too conservative, but it can be worn by a twenty-year-old, forty-year-old (that's me!), or sixty-year-old with no problem.
And these earrings make my heart go pitter-pat. Dangly and feminine…but not too over the top. This is one of about twelve pairs I wanted to buy, but I decided on these. I've worn them every day since.
I wouldn't describe the jewelry at Banana Republic as dirt cheap, of course, but I would vouch for its quality.
And its awesomeness!

Nice!!! Would make me and my Christmas stocking very merry indeed!!!
Amy On Thursday, December 3 at 1:00 pm
Cute! I might have to modify my list!
jmk On Thursday, December 3 at 1:01 pm
Chico's had really nice accessories, too!!!
kathy On Thursday, December 3 at 1:02 pm
I too love their jewlery. Since I am a "Woman of Substance" their clothes don't fit me – but ahh the accessories…..
Pat in Oak Ridge On Thursday, December 3 at 1:02 pm
Do they sell it online????
Annette in CA On Thursday, December 3 at 1:02 pm
They have great jewerly, and it's gotten better over the years.
Sherra On Thursday, December 3 at 1:02 pm
I think something shiny always makes you happy. Whether it's new in the kitchen or around your wrist or neck or dangling from your ears!
Dina On Thursday, December 3 at 1:03 pm
Is it possible you haven't heard about Stella and Dot?! They have gorgeous vintage inspired jewelry that is so feminine and yet practical enough to wear with jeans and a cardigan. Love their pieces and even though a lot of them are affordable, I made my own knock-off for $2! http://morningstarr.typepad.com/aworthylife/2009/10/strella-and-dot.html So, whether you buy from their gorgeous line or merely use their catalog for inspiration, they're a great co.!
Vikki On Thursday, December 3 at 1:04 pm
I'm off to look at the website…I am still in the process of making my list and idea's for others. Thanks Ree!
CArolyn On Thursday, December 3 at 1:04 pm
When you come to Houston, you should go to Harwin Street ( I can take you, give you directions, and tell you which stores ). You and your girls will go nuts over the jewelry. It is all the stuff that you have shown and millions more for a fraction of the price. I wish I wasn't at work, I would upload some of my treasures from there. A $20 bill goes a l-o-n-g way.
theprovidentwoman On Thursday, December 3 at 1:06 pm
I'm giving away a Pioneer Woman Cooks Cookbook (signed) on my site.
Deb. On Thursday, December 3 at 1:10 pm
man, I love that necklace too, it must be mine! dang
katya On Thursday, December 3 at 1:10 pm
Dear Ree,
I love seeing the cute girlie stuff you post as gift ideas, and the baby stuff, that's always cute too… but… those are the EASIEST people to shop for… what about those menfolk who ask for black socks every year? (I'm actually guilty of this this year as well but you know they wear out if you wear them all the time). My husband has many wish list items, but brothers, brothers in law and dads can be hard to shop for. Got any hints? Gift cards (to electronics , clothing, and hardware stores) and dvds are seeming kinda boring, but good standby ideas.
Quincy's Keeper On Thursday, December 3 at 1:12 pm
I really like that braclet too!
Chelsea On Thursday, December 3 at 1:12 pm
Yeah but it's dirt cheap when it's on sale!!! Don't forget the stuff in the bins NEXT to the displays.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is On Thursday, December 3 at 1:13 pm
I adore Banana Republic!
Alexis On Thursday, December 3 at 1:13 pm
You can usually find their stuff on sale too for good prices.
tanya gerald On Thursday, December 3 at 1:15 pm
check out chico's jewelry as well- super fun!
candi summers On Thursday, December 3 at 1:16 pm
I recognize those earrings!!
I missed your signing in Dallas because of emergency dental work, so I wrote a review of your cookbook to appease myself. You can see it by clicking on my name above.
Monie On Thursday, December 3 at 1:18 pm
Magical! Love all the jewels…to borrow a quote from a precious, lovely, genteel Englishwoman I met one lovely day in the beautiful Cotswolds…'one often regrets one's economies, whilst one RARELY regrets one's extravagances!' I LOVE these pieces, especially the bracelet…the earrings are fabulous…but I don't have pierced ears, so it's hard to find dangles that are clips. boo.
A Cupcake from Moose On Thursday, December 3 at 1:19 pm
Love the dangly earrings! My sister always wants Banana Republic jewelry for Christmas…now I know why. I must check out the Nanner Pub asap.
dandy On Thursday, December 3 at 1:25 pm
I'm really loving this whole mesh stye that is in right now. Anne Taylor Loft also has quite a bit of it.
I think I need that necklace!!
Amber On Thursday, December 3 at 1:26 pm
My husband would definitely classify those earrings as "over the top." But you can work it, girl. You've got the gorgeous smile and dimples to accompany it!
Love. Love.
Emily On Thursday, December 3 at 1:29 pm
I don't trust myself to buy my own jewelry because my friends and family have better taste than I do, but lawdy lawdy does Banana Republic have some awesome outlet stores! Thanks for the recommendation. It's nice to see the details that make you always look so fabulous.
JoLyn On Thursday, December 3 at 1:30 pm
Beautiful – they would make any black turtleneck look awesome!
Kathleen On Thursday, December 3 at 1:37 pm
I think it's really nice that you post gift ideas for women…but what about gift ides for men?
pati mk On Thursday, December 3 at 1:38 pm
I love that necklace. Hopefully I can check out the price online. Thanks.
Amy On Thursday, December 3 at 1:39 pm
Awesomeness is VERY important! My mom loves Coldwater Creek jewelry and it's pretty cute, too!
VeggieGirl On Thursday, December 3 at 1:42 pm
BEAUTIFUL and totally awesome jewelry.
Leyla On Thursday, December 3 at 1:42 pm
These are so unique, simple and beautiufl! Lovely!
I love giving jewelry as a gift, because it's something that lasts. Thanks for sharing!
Deb Mc On Thursday, December 3 at 1:50 pm
I am so incredibly uncool that I have never been in a Banana Republic store. I looked and there's one about 50 miles from me here in the middle of nowhere. May have to go.
Diane in Cincinnati On Thursday, December 3 at 1:51 pm
I hope the buyer of BR jewelry has prepared for the onslaught you just caused!
Merideth On Thursday, December 3 at 1:51 pm
You should really find out if there is a Premier Designs or a Lia Sophia Jeweler in your town. Yes, both are home-based direct sales type home party businesses, but seriously, they both have AWSOME jewelry and totally affordable. Even my girlfriend who rarely wears jewelry other than her wedding band has fallen in love with them and used her recent Premier Designs party to fulfill her Christmas wish list for herself and some family members. I rarely wear anything else anymore. Of course, it helps that I have one girlfriend who is a Premier Designs consultant and another who is a Lia Sophia consultant.
Victoria in Texas On Thursday, December 3 at 1:53 pm
I love many of their jewelry and clothing items too. Between them and JCrew's jewelry, you can put together some great pieces that don't cost an arm and a leg, especially if you wait for the sales.
Mary On Thursday, December 3 at 1:54 pm
I actually have those earrings and I love them as well! They can jazz up jeans or a little black dress…so versatile! I always get compliments on them…my sister gets so jealous! BR accessories rock!
Amy Beth On Thursday, December 3 at 1:57 pm
Ree – if you have time in Houston, check out Sam Moon. He has stores in the Dallas area, too.
It's not Banana Republic, but sometimes you need jewelry for just one outfit and this is the best place to get it!
Christine On Thursday, December 3 at 1:57 pm
Beautiful stuff! I am wondering your favorite stores to buy tops/blouses. I love so much of what you wear
Young Wife On Thursday, December 3 at 2:00 pm
I've never purchased jewelry from them. I'll have to check it out.
Anita On Thursday, December 3 at 2:04 pm
A note to Katya.
Yesterday I found a link to Marriage Confessions blog. She has posted a comment on PW and I clicked on their link. It's a cute blog.
Her husband has a section on it and he wrote about gift ideas for men on Nov. 18th. Check it out at…
gabby rogers On Thursday, December 3 at 2:04 pm
Super adorably cute. I am a jewelry maker so I guess I should step out of my own box! Thanks for the tip!
NaysWay On Thursday, December 3 at 2:05 pm
I can't believe I just came from that store, almost a week ago, and did not see these! I gotta go back!
ColeyCook On Thursday, December 3 at 2:06 pm
I'll plug Stella & Dot and my friend's new business venture all in one: http://www.stelladot.com/sites/sarahlukas Their jewelry is adorable! As is Sarah. She's also single, so if Cowboy Josh is really looking…
Carmen Henesy On Thursday, December 3 at 2:10 pm
I've never shopped at Banana Republic in my life. For many years now, my proportions have been too ample…and, at 65, I have plenty ofjewelry, all kinds…to last till I head to the happy ( or will it be unhappy ) hunting grounds. I've gotten some great buys – when I was about 40, I discovered "Lunch at the Ritz" – not good for my budget but I love their wild earrings. I couldn't get my body into model fashions but, no matter my size, earrings fit!
I love reading your tips and recipes and blog and I think fellow nurse, Heidi, for steering me here!
Megkathleen On Thursday, December 3 at 2:11 pm
I LOVE Banana Republic jewelry! I actually just went crazy getting stuff I plan to wear on my wedding day. It's going to kill me to have to wait to wear it!
Jenifer On Thursday, December 3 at 2:13 pm
The necklace is cool. I think I could replicate it fairly affordably (for myself lest anyone think I was going to copy BR's design and sell it).
LMHelming On Thursday, December 3 at 2:15 pm
Thanks for this idea. Since shopping in my town can be summed up in one word (Walmart) when I make it somewhere to shop, I'm usually focused on the clothing I need to look appropriate at work and never move into jewelry, but this will encourage me to do so.
Ashley @ AshleySublett.com On Thursday, December 3 at 2:17 pm
Great taste!
Melissa On Thursday, December 3 at 2:17 pm
Funky is good! I especially like the bracelet. Very cool.
michelle schrock On Thursday, December 3 at 2:18 pm
I love Silpada jewelry. Pricey but it is good stuff that will last forever.
I also used to get jewelry at TJ Maxx. They had great prices on sterling silver pieces. .
Amy G On Thursday, December 3 at 2:18 pm
I want that tassel necklace – but I didn't see it on the BR website. I saw another sorta similar one but I like this b/c it has all the colors (gold, silver, black) in it.
Lori On Thursday, December 3 at 2:25 pm
I love that necklace too! That is gorgeous!
Jennifer On Thursday, December 3 at 2:39 pm
The bracelet is making me drool.
Omnomnom On Thursday, December 3 at 2:42 pm
Lia Sophia is a great brand. My friend sells it, and I've had nothing but good experiences. It's not super expensive, but not cheap in quality.
Also, check out your local Lane Bryant. It's a plus store so the clothes are prob not for you, but they have AWESOME accessories.
Kylah On Thursday, December 3 at 2:44 pm
I totally agree! I love their jewelry, and sometimes there is cute stuff left in the sale section too!
yeon On Thursday, December 3 at 2:45 pm
agreed. j.crew also has fun jewelry in much the same vein as br.
the domestic fringe On Thursday, December 3 at 2:50 pm
I like Banana Republic. I like their sales even better!
Nice choices.
Abbie(TheGreenWife) On Thursday, December 3 at 2:55 pm
Great necklace.
Claire On Thursday, December 3 at 3:04 pm
Ree, if you like those you might really love Andrea Moore's jewelry. She's in Austin (and so are you today, right?). Probably a bit more money than Banana Republic, but quite lovely.
Here is the link: http://www.gypsyborndesigns.com/
Happy trails to you!
Darin On Thursday, December 3 at 3:12 pm
Just thought I would confirm your love for Banana Republic Jewelry. My brother bought me a ring from there over 10 years ago and I have worn it everyday since and get a TON of comments on it daily.
Jocelyn Stott On Thursday, December 3 at 3:17 pm
I LOVE their jewelry. Last year I got my sister a lacquered green cuff bracelet from them and she wears it all the time and it still looks brand new.
But uhm – ps – Banana Republic is a dangerous, dangerous place. As is Nordstrom. Very, very dangerous.
Sandy W. On Thursday, December 3 at 3:22 pm
Accessories are the key to style. Keep the wardrobe simple and classic, emphasize the good, conceal the bad and wear fun accessories!!
Allibama Girl On Thursday, December 3 at 3:32 pm
You have to check out Stella and Dot jewelry. Blythe Harris, the designer of their jewelry was the head designer for Banana Republic for years before moving over to Stella and Dot. They have great gifts that ship directly to you in 3-4 days and are packaged in the most adorable boxes ever!! Every piece I own, I see similar pieces in Bloomindales, Neiman's, Anthropology, etc for 1/2 the price but same quality. You can purchase it directly on my website, http://www.stelladot.com/allibamadesigns
Happy Shopping!! xoxo
Allibama Girl On Thursday, December 3 at 3:37 pm
Ps…Tons of movie stars wear this jewelry…including the ladies on The View and even Paris Hilton and Penelope Cruz!! It sells like Hot Cakes over here in Southern California!!

I like Chico's jewelry as well, and I absolutely love the necklace you have on this page. Thanks for the tip on the scarves (post below). I bought two from her (she's a sweetie). I have an etsy site as well where I sell my photography. Love etsy.

I sell mark. – we have a necklace and earrings coming out that look VERY similar to these! (and they are cheaper) Check out my mark store – http://www.mymarkstore.com/hkoopman
lil ol me On Thursday, December 3 at 4:08 pm
That bracelet is my favorite. I was wondering where you got the bling in your photos… now the secret is out. Re:64 and Ree's scarf recommendation. I snagged a couple beautiful ones on Etsy for gifts. Thanks, Ree, for the inspiration. Happy Thursday, everyone!

I have been buying my jewelry off of ebay. Have to be careful to get the real thing but I found several sellers that work with 925 silver (which I just love) and semiprecious stones at extremely resonable prices. A friend of mine has been going to Mexico for years and always picks up a couple of pieces. They are around 80 dollars down there but you can snag the same thing off of ebay for under 20 dollars. If anyone wants to look just type in 925 silver jewelry and see what comes up. I only do a North America search also.

Super cute….
Pam, NC On Thursday, December 3 at 4:43 pm
You do realize of course, that unless somebody was reading this in their car, on their way to the BR store, that there are now, none left anywhere.
Ask the cool chick selling sequin-y scarves. A 'plug' from you is better than one from Oprah!!
See you in Atlanta!!!
Rhona Lutton On Thursday, December 3 at 5:39 pm
I would love to know where you got the gold chain necklace you have been wearing during your book signings? You had it on in Phx and I fell in love with it.
Abbie On Thursday, December 3 at 5:43 pm
Ohhh….those are all so pretty! I never thought of looking for jewelry there. Thanks for the tip!
Jennifer On Thursday, December 3 at 5:54 pm
I just checked out their website, and they actually have quite a few nice items in what I would consider the "affordable" category. I really cannot afford to shop at BR, but a few years ago I splurged on a couple basic items for work (a grey wool sleeveless dress and a black pinstripe pencil skirt). Best decision I ever made. Not only did I wear them a lot to work, but I have also dressed them up for weddings and have gotten compliments every time. Paying more for quality is so worth it!
Cristie On Thursday, December 3 at 6:07 pm
OMG! I love those earrings!
Mary Kay On Thursday, December 3 at 6:08 pm
I bought a friend the prettiest necklace at BR. It is kind of choker length, made out of filmy, gathered, ivory organza with sparkly jewels running through the center. It has a magnetic clasp. Brilliant!
Julianna On Thursday, December 3 at 6:48 pm
Tip: chunky gold jewelry can be clear coated with nail polish or spray paint–if it's gorgeous and could become a staple, it might be worth the effort.

I love costume jewelry!
In fact I work for the Vintage Costume jewelry maven, Carole Tanenbaum: http://www.caroletanenbaum.com
Yeah she's expensive, but everything is collectable, rare, one-of-a-kind and oooooold. Like victorian – 80s. Michelle Obama is all over our brooches!

Aileen On Thursday, December 3 at 8:49 pm
I've loved Banana Republic jewelry ever since I discovered these great dark green feather earrings there in college! I still wear them (I'm 30 now) and I have been a fan of their jewelry ever since. It's everything you said: great quality, inspired designs and good for all ages. Love your taste!
Judy@In His Grip On Thursday, December 3 at 8:51 pm
You gotta love the unquie look of this jewelry.
Zoe L On Thursday, December 3 at 8:57 pm
the accessories RULE! I've worked at Banana Republic for years and still my favorite part is the jewelry! Don't get me wrong, I drool over the clothes too. But every time I see the jewelry I can see my outfit pulling together – without emptying my wallet!

I love all the pieces!
gloria On Thursday, December 3 at 9:53 pm
unfortunately, i have to say that i work there, and their jewelry really isn't good quality. a lot of it comes apart quite easily: chains break, stones fall out before one wearing….it's really not worth the money. i see many customers coming in with damaged items.
Logan Bagley On Thursday, December 3 at 9:56 pm
Thanks for that commentary. That's the kind of stuff I need to know about. I am awful about buying stuff too cheap and not realizing how worn down it has become soon enough.
julie On Thursday, December 3 at 10:05 pm
Super cute! I love the earings and necklace. I really like the whole knot thing and the drapey chains. Cool!
Anita On Thursday, December 3 at 11:07 pm
Wellllll I am 61 but I think those earrings are beautiful and would wear them with pride
Charoop On Thursday, December 3 at 11:11 pm
You might like woodhousecompany.com (I did the catalog) – a little bit of something for everyone in every price range, and gorgeous jewelry.

Fan-tab-u-lous! I like everything you got! I'm always for the different, not boring things.
liz a. On Friday, December 4 at 1:04 am
hey, guess who just bought some really pretty, quality jewelry at the banana republic in monterey, ca.! that would be me! and you are right, their things are really pretty nice, not too cheap, but you definitely get your money's worth…too bad the clothes are made for teeny people…bummer! and it is nice to know someone besides me likes their things…and don't tell anyone, but i am 60 and it works with the things i have (is it just me, or does some of this stuff look like it was here in the 60's??? i remember ……………!!!
Betsey On Friday, December 4 at 5:56 am
I love the jewelry at Ann Taylor LOFT and NY&Co for everyday. I love love love the stuff from Silpada and lia sophia, but it's a little more pricey. My Silpada pieces *always* get tons of compliments.
Becky On Friday, December 4 at 6:30 am
Another good resource for holiday gifts:
Julianne Fogt On Friday, December 4 at 7:06 am
I think you are going to help sell many, many pairs of these fabulous earrings! And I completely agree with how jewelry can make a simple look so much more polished. In one year I have gone from an anti necklace person to wearing one every day.

Dec. 26, 2012
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Fifth-ranked Georgia began on-site bowl preparations here Wednesday following a four-day break for the holidays.
The Bulldogs held a one-hour night workout in jerseys, shorts and helmets at a local high school. The team arrived earlier in the day and had a series of meetings and dinner at their hotel.
Georgia coach Mark Richt and selected players held a brief media session at the hotel before a team dinner. Richt announced that senior starting nose John Jenkins, a Second-Team All-SEC selection, would not be participating in the bowl game.
"John Jenkins won't be here," said Richt. "It's academic related, he will not be at the bowl, and that will be all I'll say about that. ... I think John Jenkins has been awesome for Georgia. I'm really proud of everything he's accomplished for us. Just really want to wish him the very best. He's been a blessing for our program."
Richt added that a handful of Bulldogs will look to fill the void with the 6-3, 358-pound senior Jenkins out. The backup at nose is 6-6, 355-pound junior Kwame Geathers.
"A little will depend on Abry Jones, and how much he can play, we'll see the type of condition he's in and number of plays he's available. It could create some more opportunity for Michael Thornton and Ray Drew."
Jones, a 6-3, 308-pound senior defensive end, has missed the past five games with an ankle injury and has not played since the opening quarter against Kentucky on Oct. 20. Jenkins had started all 13 games and tallied 50 tackles.
On Thursday, the team will have a morning practice and then plans to attend Universal Studios in the afternoon.
The Bulldogs face Nebraska on Jan. 1 at 1:08 p.m. in the Capital One Bowl. It will be televised by ABC and ESPN3.com.

XDR: Esoteric Microphone Preamplifier Sound Quality is Now Affordable.
Room ambiance so detailed you can practically hear the carpet pattern... high frequency resolution that defines cymbals, triangles and bells down to the molecular level... midrange that's as warm, fluid and comfortable as a warm bath... and steel-fisted bass that's intoxicatingly rich in harmonic texture.
1. A mic preamp should be able to protect itself from destructive external forces.
2. A mic preamp should not be prone to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
3. A mic preamp's response should not vary with different mic cable impedance loads.
4. A mic preamp should be accurate, sound good, and have very low noise and wide bandwidth at any gain level.
Many high-end outboard mic preamps achieve Goals 3 & 4, but lack protection and good RFI shielding. Conventional mixer preamps often meet Goals 1 and 2 at the expense of good sound1. XDR represents major advances in all four critical areas.
Slow degradation (and eventual failure) of mic preamps resulting from hot patching is one of the mixing console manufacturing community's dirty little secrets. If you route a phantom-powered mic through a patchbay, it's roughly equivalent to shorting out a cable every time you patch it. The mic preamp's input transistors progressively break down (called zenering), while the mixer channel gets noisy and can eventually totally croak.
Mackie engineers weren't interested in any "solution" that even slightly affected the preamp's sound. A lot of research and considerable, old-fashioned trial and error listening resulted in the addition of ultra-high-speed, large-geometry input diodes to the front end of our input circuit. It completely protects XDR mic preamplifiers from the consequences of hot-patching and direct short circuits in cables carrying phantom power. Yet it has no affect on sound quality.
A mic preamp has to be able to amplify faint one-millivolt2 input signals up to a thousandfold (60dB). In the process, its rectification components can also pick up radio frequency interference (RFI) from AM and FM stations, cell phones, and pager transmitters – even microwave ovens – and amplify them to audible levels.
The more capable of conveying fine sonic details and wide bandwidth a mic preamp is, the more prone it is to picking up the nearest trucker's CB or All Sports Talk Radio station.
We assaulted RFI on three fronts. First, we incorporate bifilar wound DC pulse transformers with high permeability cores that reject RFI but don't attenuate the sound at 20kHz and above. Second, we carefully matched high-precision components for critical areas of the XDR mic preamplifier. Third, we direct-coupled the circuit from input to output and used pole-zero-cancellation constant-current biasing (which also avoids increased intermodulation distortion at high common mode signal levels).
Bottom line for the non-technical: you can use our new XDR mic preamps at the end of extremely-long cheap mic cables in an RFI-saturated urban environment while talking on your cell phone and microwaving coffee... without hearing a trace of RFI.
A microphone's frequency response (and thus how it sounds) is a function of the load presented to it. That load is the impedance characteristic of the mic preamp it's connected to. If a mic preamp isn't designed right, it will actually sound different depending on the impedance of the microphone and the cable load3!
What we've done with the XDR design is create a Controlled Interface Input Impedance system that's able to accept an enormous range of impedances without compromising frequency response. The graphs at left show XDR frequency response with 50-ohm, 150-ohm and 600-ohm loads. Note that the charts are calibrated in TENTHS of a dB. As you can see, at any load, frequency response is virtually unaffected down to just one tenth of a dB at 20Hz and 20kHz no matter what the load.
We call our new design "XDR" because it has over 130dB of total dynamic range. That means the XDR mic preamps on our VLZ Pro mixers can handle inputs from 24-bit, 192kHz sampling-rate digital audio workstations without added coloration. It means you can generate 145dB sound pressure levels at the diaphragm of a suitable microphone and get a signal that doesn't break up.
But wide dynamic range is valuable only if the noise floor stays low at normal gain levels.
Equivalent Input Noise (E.I.N.) is a common mic preamp noise spec. But this oft-touted specification is traditionally measured at maximum gain levels. Normal operating levels are most often between +20 and +30dB of gain. Thus many mic preamps that brag about their -129dBm E.I.N. at +60dB generate far more noise at +30dB where you're going to end up using them much of the time.
The graph at right charts E.I.N. versus gain level for three mic preamps that boast -129dBm at +60dB. The measurements represent: a) a high-profile competitor's mic/line mixer preamps; b) our new XDR design and; c) a "status" outboard mic preamp retailing for about $2,000. As you can see, our XDR design maintains lower noise levels in the critical +20 to +30 range than either competitor. XDR mic preamps can handle input signals from a full +22dB line level (thanks to extended dynamic range) down to microvolts without a corresponding increase in noise.
While specifications are only one measure of how a microphone preamplifier sounds, XDR mic preamps match esoteric outboard designs number for number:
0.0007% Total Harmonic Distortion. A THD figure this low has never before been offered on affordable mic/line mixers (and only rarely on $500,000 mega consoles, for that matter).
Near "DC-to-Light" bandwidth – without RFI side-effects. Not only are XDR mic preamps flat within a tenth of a dB across the bandwidth of any known microphone, but they're also only 3dB down at an astonishing 192kHz, a figure that should satisfy anyone in search of elusive upper harmonics soon available with emerging ultra-high sampling rates.
Super-low intermodulation distortion at high operating levels. Or to put it another way... total independence and stable operation no matter what signal level you send it. This is due to our instrumentation-style balanced differential architecture, linear biasing, and use of DC-coupled pole-zero-cancellation constant current that frees the mic preamp from induced dynamic intermodulation distortion.
We can sling Audio Precision® graphs around 'till the cows come home and still not convince the truly critical listener. When it comes to mic preamps, the proof is in the listening. Plug a really, really good condenser microphone into an XDR mic preamp and do some critical auditioning.

I helped someone in chat this weekend that sounds familiar to this. She would try to load BootMii and get a blank screen instead of the exected 4 icons.
I had her start over with the mod, but instead use the "for systems with HBC already installed", since she was able to get that installed in her first attempt. After that, things went smoothly.

What causes calcification?
Calcifications can be caused by inflammation or elevated levels of blood calcium, known as hypercalcemia. Calcification can be part of a normal healing response to musculoskeletal injuries. Calcifications are often found in arteries affected by arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), in benign and malignant breast processes, at sites of bone or cartilage injury, and sometimes within cancers. Other tissues may calcify following chronic inflammation or through mineralization of dead tissue (dystrophic calcification).
What are the risk factors for abnormal calcification?
Several factors increase the risk of developing abnormal calcification. Not all people with risk factors will get calcification. Risk factors for calcification include:
- Alcoholism
- Autoimmune disorders
- Genetic history of a calcium metabolism disorder
- Internal tissue injuries that cause inflammatory reactions
What is calcification?
Calcification is a gradual accumulation of calcium in an area of your body tissue. Most of the calcium absorbed by your body ends up in your bones and teeth, where it is most needed. Excess calcium is usually dissolved in the bloodstream for excretion in the urine, but it is normal for a certain amount to collect in an area of the body tissues; this collection of calcium then hardens the tissue... Read more about calcificationintroduction
What are the symptoms of calcification?
Calcification often produces no symptoms. Instead, calcification is most frequently discovered on X-rays, including mammograms, for example. Some calcification is normal, but even disease-related calcification may not cause symptoms that you will detect.
You may, however, feel the effects of the underlying disorder or process that results in calcification. These symptoms will depe... Read more about calcificationsymptoms
How is calcification treated?
Calcification is generally not treatable and cannot be reversed.
However, calcific band keratopathy, a calcification of the cornea of the
eye, can be treated. In addition, disorders that are complications of
or associated with calcification are often very treatable. Treatments
vary depending on the calcium metabolism disorder itself.

Longtime assistant Andrew Calder on Sylvia Hatchell, his new role, and the team's mood
Andrew Calder spent the past 27 years as Sylvia Hatchell's assistant at UNC. Now he's taking over temporarily for the Hall of Fame coach, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Calder spoke with the media before practice today. Here is a partial transcript:
Opening statement:
I want everyone to know that we're going to continue to uphold the high standards that Coach Hatchell has set for this program.
Hatchell's current role:
Coach Hatchell as we know is a great motivator; she will be missed. However each year she evaluates the talent that she has coming in, and with her philosophy she puts together a master gameplan. We're just implementing that gameplan. When she returns we will be on schedule
How players are holding up:
Obviously it's very tough, they love Coach Hatchell, she's a mother to all of the them. But I will say they were very enthusiastic in practice yesterday and very motivated. Not only for themselves but for Coach Hatchell.
They were very enthusiastic yesterday and very focused on being the best they can be. Every day in practice Coach Hatchell wants our team to get better, and they got better yesterday.
His role as head coach:
We both have the same philosophy in how the game should be played. We're going to continue to play the game the way she wants the game to be played. We're going to fast-break and we're going to continue to pressure. It's going to be fun. I've learned a lot from her, and we'll just implement that.
How Hatchell's doing:
I did go to her room yesterday, she was in very high spirits, we did discuss practice yesterday and what we're going to do today, tomorrow (after that the team is off for Fall break until Sunday night). But she is very excited for this basketball team.
When he found out:
I got a call from Coach Hatchell on Friday night, and met with her on Saturday, and she told me at that time the situation. She's very confident in us, and hopefully she'll be back very soon to coach this basketball team.
The freshmen:
Coach Hatchell is a coach that's hands-on, so she's had a lot of communication and worked with the freshman already and has talked to them about their game and exactly how they're going to fit in to or system.
His role as a longtime assistant:
I have not looked to go anywhere. I have a very close relationship with Coach Hatchell and I love this university, this athletic department, everyone associated with this university. I'm very comfortable in my position. I know Coach Guthridge was in the position (for 30 years) under Coach Dean Smith and I'm very happy.
Concluding statement:
Coach Hatchell's a fighter and she will conquer this disease.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
7:11-22 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, yea better. It shelters from the storms and scorching heat of trouble. Wealth will not lengthen out the natural life; but true wisdom will give spiritual life, and strengthen men for services under their sufferings. Let us look upon the disposal of our condition as the work of God, and at last all will appear to have been for the best. In acts of righteousness, be not carried into heats or passions, no, not by a zeal for God. Be not conceited of thine own abilities; nor find fault with every thing, nor busy thyself in other men's matters. Many who will not be wrought upon by the fear of God, and the dread of hell, will avoid sins which ruin their health and estate, and expose to public justice. But those that truly fear God, have but one end to serve, therefore act steadily. If we say we have not sinned, we deceive ourselves. Every true believer is ready to say, God be merciful to me a sinner. Forget not at the same time, that personal righteousness, walking in newness of life, is the only real evidence of an interest by faith in the righteousness of the Redeemer. Wisdom teaches us not to be quick in resenting affronts. Be not desirous to know what people say; if they speak well of thee, it will feed thy pride, if ill, it will stir up thy passion. See that thou approve thyself to God and thine own conscience, and then heed not what men say of thee; it is easier to pass by twenty affronts than to avenge one. When any harm is done to us, examine whether we have not done as bad to others.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 14. - In the day of prosperity be joyful; literally, in the day of good be in good i.e. when things go well with you, be cheerful (Ecclesiastes 9:7; Esther 8:17); accept the situation and enjoy it. The advice is the same as that which runs through the book, viz. to make the best of the present. So Ben-Sire says, "Defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not a share in a good desire pass thee by" (Ecclus. 14:14). Septuagint Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀγαθωσύνης ζῆθι ἐν αγαθῷ, "In a day of good live in (an atmosphere of) good;" Vulgate, in die bona fruere bonis, "In a good day enjoy your good things." But in the day of adversity consider; in the evil day look well. The writer could not conclude this clause so as to make it parallel with the other, or he would have had to say, "In the ill day take it ill," which would be far from his meaning; so he introduces a thought which may help to make one resigned to adversity. The reflection follows. Septuagint, Καὶ ἴδε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακίας ἴδε κ.τ.λ..; Vulgate, Et malam diem praecave, "Beware of the evil day." But, doubtless, the object of the verb is the following clause. God also hath set the one over against the other; or, God hath made the one corresponding to the other; i.e. he hath made the day of evil as well as the day of good. The light and shade in man's life are equally under God's ordering and permission. "What?" cries Job (Job 2:10), "shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" Corn. Lapide quotes a saying of Plutarch to this effect: the harp gives forth sounds acute and grave, and both combine to form the melody; so in man's life the mingling of prosperity and adversity yields a well-adjusted harmony. God strikes all the strings of our life's harp, and we ought, not only patiently, but cheerfully, to listen to the chords produced by this Divine Performer. To the end that man should find nothing after him. This clause gives Koheleth's view of God's object in the admixture of good and evil; but the reason has been variously interpreted, the explanation depending on the sense assigned to the term "after him" (אַתַרָיו). The Septuagint gives ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, which is vague; the Vulgate, contra eum, meaning that man may have no occasion to complain against God. Cheyne ('Job and Solomon') considers that Koheleth here implies that death closes the scene, and that there is then nothing more to fear, rendering the clause, "On the ground that man is to experience nothing at all hereafter." They who believe that the writer held the doctrine of a future life cannot acquiesce in this view. The interpretation of Delitzsch is this - God lets man pass through the whole discipline of good and evil, that when lie dies there may be nothing which he has not experienced. Hitzig and Nowack explain the text to mean that, as God designs that man after his death shall have done with all things, he sends upon him evil as well as good, that he may not have to punish him hereafter - a doctrine opposed to the teaching of a future judgment. Wright deems the idea to be that man may be kept in ignorance of what shall happen to him beyond the grave, that the present life may afford no clue to the future. One does not see why this should be a comfort, nor how it is compatible with God's known counsel of making the condition of the future life dependent upon the conduct of this. Other explanations being more or less unsatisfactory, many modern commentators see in the passage an assertion that God intermingle8 good and evil in men's lives according to laws with which they are unacquainted, in order that they may not disquiet themselves by forecasting the future, whether in this life or after their death, but may be wholly dependent upon God, casting all their care upon him, knowing that he careth for them (1 Peter 5:7). We may safely adopt this explanation (comp. Ecclesiastes 3:22; Ecclesiastes 6:12). The paragraph then con-rains the same teaching as Horace's oft-quoted ode-
"Prudens futuri temporis exitum," etc.
(Carm.,' 3:29. 29.) Theognis', 1075 -
Πρήγματος ἀπρήκτου χαλεπώτατόν ἐστι τελεντὴν
Γνῶναι ὅπως μέλλει τοῦτο Θεὸς τελέσαι
Ορφνη γὰρ τέταται πρὸ δὲ τοῦ μέλλοντος ἔσεσθαι
Οὐ ξυνετὰ θνητοῖς πείρατ ἀμηχανίης,
"The issue of an action incomplete,
Tis hard to forecast how God may dispose it;
For it is veiled in darkest night, and man
In present hour can never comprehend
His helpless efforts." Plumptre quotes the lines in Cleanthes's hymn to Zeus, vers. 18-21 ('Poet. Gnom.,' p. 24) -
Ἀλλὰ σὺ καὶ τὰ περισσά κ.τ.λ.
"Thou alone knowest how to change the odd
To even, and to make the crooked straight;
And things discordant find accent in thee.
Thus in one whole thou blendest ill with good,
So that one law works on for evermore." Ben-Sira has evidently borrowed the idea in Ecclus. 33: (36.) 13-15 from our passage; after speaking of man being like clay under the potter's hand, he proceeds, "Good is set over against evil, and life over against death; so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly. So look upon all the works of the Mast High: there are two and two, one against the ether."
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
In the day of prosperity be joyful,.... Or, "in a good day" (q). When things go well in the commonwealth, in a man's family, and with himself, health, peace, and plenty, are enjoyed, a man's circumstances are thriving and flourishing; it becomes him to be thankful to God, freely and cheerfully to enjoy what is bestowed on him, and do good with it: or, "be in good" (r); in good heart, in good spirits, cheerful and lively; or, "enjoy good", as the Vulgate Latin version; for what God gives to men is given them richly to enjoy, to make use of themselves, and be beneficial unto others; so the Targum,
"in the day the Lord does well to thee be thou also in goodness, and do good to all the world;''
see Galatians 6:10; Jarchi's paraphrase is,
"when it is in thine hand to do good, be among those that do good;''
but in the day of adversity consider; or, "in the day of evil" (s); consider from whence affliction comes; not out of the dust, nor by chance, but from God, and by his wise appointment; and for what it comes, that sin is the cause of it, and what that is; and also for what ends it is sent, to bring to a sense of sin, and confession of it, and humiliation for it; to take it away, and make good men more partakers of holiness: or, "look for the day of adversity" (t); even in the day of prosperity it should be expected; for there is no firmness and stability in any state; there are continual vicissitudes and changes. The Targum is,
"that the evil day may not come upon thee, see and behold;''
be careful and circumspect, and behave in a wise manner, that so it may be prevented. Jarchi's note is,
"when evil comes upon the wicked, be among those that see, and not among those that are seen;''
and compares it with Isaiah 66:24; It may be observed, that there is a set time for each of these, prosperity and adversity; and that the time is short, and therefore called a day; and the one is good, and the other is evil; which characters they have according to the outward appearance, and according to the judgment and esteem of men; otherwise, prosperity is oftentimes hurtful, and destroys fools, and adversity is useful to the souls of good men;
God also hath set the one over against the other; they are both by his appointment, and are set in their proper place, and come in their proper time; succeed each other, and answer to one another, as day and night, summer and winter, and work, together for the good of men;
to the end that man should find nothing after him; should not be able to know what will be hereafter; what his case and circumstances will be, whether prosperous or adverse; since things are so uncertain, and so subject to change, and nothing permanent; and therefore can find nothing to trust in and depend upon, nothing that he can be sure of: and things are so wisely managed and disposed, that a man can find no fault with them, nor just reason to complain of them; so the Vulgate Latin version, "not find just complaints against him"; and to the same purpose the Syriac version, "that he may complain of him"; the Targum is,
"not find any evil in this world.''
(q) "in die bono", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus, Gejerus. (r) "esto in bono", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus, Cocceius, Gejerus, Rambachius. (s) "in die mala", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus. (t) "praecave", V. L. "praevide, aut provide ac prospice", Drusius; so Gussetius, p. 766.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
14. consider—resumed from Ec 7:13. "Consider," that is, regard it as "the work of God"; for "God has made (Hebrew, for 'set') this (adversity) also as well as the other (prosperity)." "Adversity" is one of the things which "God has made crooked," and which man cannot "make straight." He ought therefore to be "patient" (Ec 7:8).
after him—equivalent to "that man may not find anything (to blame) after God" (that is, after "considering God's work," Ec 7:13). Vulgate and Syriac, "against Him" (compare Ec 7:10; Ro 3:4).
Ecclesiastes 7:14 Additional Commentaries
The Value of Wisdom
…13Consider the work of God, For who is able to straighten what He has bent? 14In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider-- God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.

The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that Peter Miller, chief of the Center for Survey Measurement, has received the Harry O'Neill Outstanding Achievement Award from the New York American Association for Public Opinion Research for his career-long contributions to the profession of public opinion research.
Others to win this award have been Kenneth Prewitt (2001), former director of the Census Bureau, and Robert Groves (2009), current director of the Census Bureau.
"I would like to personally congratulate Peter on receiving this award," Groves said. "Peter's contributions to the study and communication of public opinion research have not only been beneficial to the Census Bureau but also to the research community as a whole."
Miller began his career at the Census Bureau in September 2011. He leads the Center for Survey Measurement, which helps serve the Census Bureau's mission to collect information through multiple modes of communication in cost effective ways. He has also served as a faculty member, chairman of the Department of Communication Studies and associate dean of the School of Communications at Northwestern University (1983-2011), as well as editor of Public Opinion Quarterly (2002-2008) and president of the National AAPOR (2009-2010).
On Monday, June 25, at the NYAAPOR annual awards night in New York, Miller accepted his award and talked about the Census Bureau's new Center for Adaptive Design that oversees the development and processing infrastructure that supports Census Bureau's surveys and censuses.
Since 1979, the New York chapter of AAPOR has offered members and the research community a ground to "debate methodological, ethical and substantive issues" relating to the research field. NYAAPOR includes members from both academic and commercial research backgrounds who "engage in methods, application and findings from public opinion research."
