DIY Renovation
We are renovating virgins. There, I said it. So, when people find out that my partner, Justin, and I bought a fixer-upper they always ask, "Are you handy?" Frankly, the answer is "maybe?" Sure, I hang a mean art wall and he can replace a leaky faucet, but gut and renovate our first house, who knows? Luckily we have some pros to help us out. We imagine the main floor of our downtown Toronto rowhouse to be like one of these beautiful spaces with an open-concept kitchen-dining room:
Or this:
However, when we bought it, our house was like a rabbit warren (but not in that warm, snuggly way) with many smallish, dark rooms, even a pint-sized bathroom crammed under the staircase. I'm not sure about you, but it's taking "cosy" a little too far for us. But, we could see through its awkward layout, snakeskin linoleum (!?) and worn finishes, so we took the plunge.
We want to open up the main floor, but we like the small room at the front of the house and imagine it as some sort of library or, as one friend suggested, a proper cocktail room. What do you think? Keep the small, cosy room or open the main floor right up? This stuff keeps me up at night. We are thinking it could look something like this:
So, armed with this fantastic list of DIY tips from our super-agent Chander Chaddah, we both took a week off to start (lovingly) gutting the main floor ourselves.
Boy + sledgehammer = smashing good time!
Girl + asbestos mask (pink coincidental) = a new level of commitment to DIY!
As the dust settles, I'll post more images of our little rowhouse that could!

I'm 6'0 tall and 155lbs. I brought these pants to in Large to fit me a little big and loose because I wanted to walk around them comfortably and they were perfect. They were just a little long, but not enough to bother me. Overall I'm very comfortable with these pants. If you want something shorter and a little tighter I would recommend getting a medium. ... read more
I'am 5 45, 160lbs. I usually wear slim-fit medium shirts and pants from both adidas performance, and originals. If you want a slim-fit/muscle-fit, buy a small size, which is what I did and still comfortable. But if you want some more room and does not care about the shape of your body, but a medium. ... read more
I've bought several Ultimate and Clima Ultimate T shirts over the past several years. The Size Large Ultimate T shirts produced a few years ago fit perfectly. All of the Clima Ultimate T shirts in size Large, while long enough, are tight across my shoulders and chest. Although finding that mildly annoying, I kept the Clima Ultimate T shirts while attributing the difference in fit to their being a slightly different style from the Ultimate T shirts. Ultimate T shirts I bought a few months ago fit well, however, those I purchased just a few weeks ago run small like the Clima Ultimate shirts. Why is there such inconsistency in the sizing of these shirts? ... read more
I searched for a slim fit pant for awhile but kept finding running tights or compression pants. The Tiro 15 is exactly what I wanted; slim fit but not too snug or tight. I'm 5'11"; 155 lb. A medium sized pant fits perfect and are so comfortable. The black on black looks awesome. I wear them so often I plan to purchase another pair. . ... read more
I'm 5'7" and I got the small, the fit was good (maybe a little tight around the calves but I dont mind), but it went 4 inches past my ankle. You can fold it up, but then it looks kinda bulky near the bottom, and the zipper makes the bottom a little stiff. Otherwise, it looks good, especially with soccer shoes, and its pretty comfortable. ... read more
I took a punt on these buying an XS as at the time I wasn't sure if there would be new stock fully expecting to return them. My instinct would be to go for small. As it turns out XS is the perfect fit. I'm just slightly under 5' 10" and about 11 stone. They are great for playing in and I love the tapered leg, not so good for lounging around as I prefer baggier trackies for that. The only problem is my girlfriend seems to like them so I might have to buy another pair for her so I can have mine back! ... read more
Finally a three stripe short at just the right length (at the knee) that aren't clamdiggers. Perfect fit and with the Trefoil and Adidas logo (not just the Trefoil). Size M for 33-34" waist at 5'10" 190lbs. Well done and Old school. ... read more
First and foremost the Adidas Tiro 15 Training Pants define comfort! It's like the pants have lungs of its own, I've owned many kinds of training pants but the ventilation these pants offer are unbelievable. Whether you're training or just running errands, stylistically with the tapered/zipper cuffs, these pants meet both kind of functions. ... read more
Been buying Adidas Soccer pants, and Tiro 15 edition has definately decreased the quality of the pants with this edition. Material quality is quite thinner and less climacool patches to release the heat. was more satified with earlier models of the pants. Try to get a hand on those if possible. ... read more
Thee pants are comfortable & stylish & also warm. My only recommendation is to order a size up if you want a more comfirtable or slouchy fit. I usually wear a small, but ordered a medium & they fit exactly how I'd like. ... read more
I bought the purple track jacket to match with the purple superstars I bought. It's such a cute little outfit. I would've liked to have bought other matching colours but the sizes were snapped up quickly! But otherwise, the track jacket is a thicker quality than normal. And the colour is quite bright. The xs fits a female size 8 perfectly. All in all, an awesome purchase! ... read more
Im 5"7.5 almost 5"8 and i bought the black pair and navy ones too, both in medium. legs are perfect, not too tightly fitted or skinny. size small doesn't differ much with the waist but near the calf area is tighter and looks silly. id advise guys my height or even 4 inches taller with a 32 waist to buy medium. ... read more
Amazing quality, too short. It surprises me that Adidas don't make these pants longer than 77cm, which is only 30" I would've thought they made these with the athletic figure in mind, tall and slim. All I would say is make sure you try them on before buying. ... read more
Went in to buy a pair of tiro 13 however because Adidas released the 15 i had to get them they feel very cheap compared to my old tiro 13 & 11 and the top white band looks very tacky, Still the best the pants for playing football in but not the usual well built quality i expected ... read more
I bought an "Ultimate Tee" at a retail store. The small was a bit tight for a general workout shirt, so I got a medium. Perfect! So perfect that I immediately bought 5 more online. When the new ones arrived, they were not so ultimate... the sleeve cut had changed (raglan sleeve, not inset like the one I had already) and the shirt was quite a bit longer. The neck ribbing was also a little thicker and cheaper looking. Bummed out they tried to improve on perfection. The new fit is a bit sloppy. Still a good workout shirt though. Go with dark colors if you plan to sweat a lot - you'll look like a sweaty mess otherwise. ... read more

Bosse's Pendleton named Metro player of year in basketball
Bulldog star also earned honor in football
Last fall Bosse High School football coach Andre Thomas affectionally described Jalen Pendleton as a "freak," as in a "freak of nature."
Not only was Pendleton named the Courier & Press all-Metro Player of the Year in football for his exploits at quarterback, he was versatile enough to add the distinction of being named the all-Metro Player of the Year in basketball as well. No other local player has pulled off this double within recent memory.
Pendleton, a 6-foot-2 senior guard, averaged 21.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in sparking the Bulldogs to their first Class 3A semistate berth since 2007 and a 23-5 record.
He said it was a "great feeling" being named all-Metro Player of the Year in basketball.
"It was a team effort," Pendleton said. "For me to be successful, I worked through the team. Even on an off-night my teammates would keep me going."
After a fast start against Guerin Catholic in the Seymour Semistate on March 17, Bosse appeared befuddled as the Golden Eagles switched from a man-to-man to a 2-3 zone defense. While his teammates began to hang their heads as Guerin Catholic took control, Pendleton relentlessly attacked the basket, finishing with 29 points, in a 75-56 loss.
"We just came up short," Pendleton said. "We didn't have enough depth. We hit adversity and couldn't get over the hump. We couldn't make any shots."
He credits his father, Dion, for instilling him with so much determination.
"Just growing up, my dad never let me quit," Jalen said. "You have to play every game like it's your last."
Pendleton has been offered a scholarship by Indiana State and plans to make official visits to Tulane, Texas Christian and Middle Tennessee State. The spring signing period begins on April 11.
Pendleton, who is working out with former Bulldog basketball standout Matt Lander to stay in shape, hasn't ruled out football, but is leaning heavily toward playing basketball in college.
Castle was the other Southern Indiana Athletic Conference team to advance to a semistate and the Knights' Brian Gibson was honored as Coach of the Year.
"All that means is I had really good players and really good assistants," said Gibson, who lifted Castle to its second 4A semistate berth in school history and a 20-5 record. In addition, the Knights shared the SIAC title with Harrison, marking the third successive season they had won or tied for the league title, a first in school history.
"We had great senior leaders in Shane (Seniour), Kevin (Brown II) and Nick (Boyd) and Blake (Simmons) is a tremendous talent, being named a South Indiana Junior All-Star," Gibson said.
Simmons, a 6-5 junior forward, averaged 19.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists. JaQuan Lyle, a 6-4 sophomore from Bosse who has already received scholarship offers from Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Xavier, Michigan State, Ohio State and Louisville, averaged 16.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists.
Ernie Duncan, a 6-2 sophomore from Harrison, has already made an oral commitment to the University of Evansville. He averaged 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists. Alphonso Baity, a 6-1 senior from Memorial, rounds out the first team. He averaged 15.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists for the Tigers.
Seniour and Brown were both named to the second team by the Courier & Press staff, with input from SIAC coaches. They were joined by Brienne Miles of Central, Ty Pauley of North, Everett Duncan of Harrison and Tyler Walsh of Mater Dei.

Vice-President Joe Biden is expected to present President Barack Obama with recommendations on how to reduce gun violence in the United States by Tuesday.
President Obama ordered Biden and a task force to come up with recommendations shortly after the Sandy Hook school shooting in December. Biden told reporters Friday a consensus is emerging over banning high capacity ammunition magazine and enforcing more background checks.
East Tennessee gun owners told 10News this weekend they were anxious to see what Biden would propose.
Wayne Johnson has owned the Sevier Indoor Range for 12 years in Sevierville. He said while he agrees background checks are important, he does not believe there is a simple solution to stop shootings like the one in Newtown.
And, Sevierville gun owner Michael Maddron said he does not believe banning high capacity ammunition is the way to go.
"I feel like taking away high capacity magazines compromises their [gun owners] ability to protect themselves," he said.
Some East Tennesseans feel the answer lays in education.
Pastor Kevin Perry of Word of Life Ministries in East Knoxville has helped organize the "Victory over Violence" march in downtown Knoxville over several years. He said he believes the White House needs to present more programs in our schools and prisons that target violent behavior.

Chef Vahit Besir Returns to San Francisco Next Week
Get ready for the next chapter in the Chef Vahit Besir story . . . he's opening a new place in San Francisco next week. No name yet, although he's considering Istanbul Grill. No phone number either, the address coordinates are Geary and Jones. We had a bad connection so I couldn't catch every detail. At first I thought he was moving back into his old place. But he said the owner of Salama Halal Meat owns his new space, so it must be a different address.
I'm away from the City for 10 days or I'd head over there myself to see what's happening. Hope some of his chowhound fans can fill us in on the details.
Some background on one of my favorite Turkish chefs here -
"SF: Eden's Restaurant - Chef Vahit Besir found ... heavenly Halal lamb and beef gyros ", March 2009
Salama Halal Meat
604 Geary St, San Francisco, CA
Well, that was premature.
My time away from the City stretched to four weeks. When I returned on Monday, I headed over to Jones and Geary and walked a block in each direction to try to find the place. No luck. I had parked in front of Shalimar, and when I got back to the car noticed the covered up windows across the street next to the garage.
With no signage, the arch motif in the fresh paint job was my clue that 533 Jones St might be a Middle Eastern place. Previously this had been a locksmith.
I went back Wednesday morning before leaving town again to see if anyone might be around. Chef Vahit Besir was standing in front and I asked him if I could see the work in progress. He said that he'd passed the inspections and should be able to open this weekend, maybe today. He was waiting for his cold case to be delivered that would display the salads. Here's the interior of the main dining room looking toward the entrance from the kitchen counter.
There's more seating than one would expect from the narrow street facade, including this cute nook near the entrance.
And there's a side dining room with colorful upholstered benches and stairs to a private dining area upstairs for events.
His kitchen has two döner spits. Orders will be taken at the counter and then brought to the customers' table.
He said he'd be opening as soon as he gets his sign, "Istanbul Grill House", completed and up.
Meats will be halal.

re: Melanie Wong
Any updates? Open yet?
Also, will he allow one to bring wine or not?
I checked Saturday. Not open yet. Tried to look while driving by on Geary Monday. Couldn't tell for sure but didn't appear to be open.
re: bigwheel042
Thanks for keeping an eye out. I'm out of town still.
re: Melanie Wong
Not open yet; not today at noon.
re: Cynsa
My other mission yesterday besides buying Hatch chiles in Petaluma was to have a late lunch at Afendi's owned by Chef Vahit's brother. Chef Joe asked whether I knew about the the new place in San Francisco. I nodded and said, "Yes, i saw him there two weeks ago and he said it would open any day now." Chef Joe said, "It opens tomorrow." I replied, "He's been saying that for a month, are you sure?" Then he explained, "He was here this morning and told me he's opening on Monday." So that's the latest word.
Afendi's Turkish Grill
299 N McDowell Blvd, Petaluma, CA 94954
re: Melanie Wong
Not today - opening Tuesday for lunch - tomorrow - says the smiling Chef Vahit.
re: Melanie Wong
No sign at 2 pm on Monday - :^)
re: Melanie Wong
Great news. Any idea if they're open on Sundays?
I'm going to a Fringe show around the corner and could stop in for lunch.
re: Melanie Wong
Confirmed. Name is "Grill House Mediterranean". Too bad I already had lunch as they were giving a 50% discount for the first day. I tried the Lahmajun, a flat bread with a meat topping. It was good. They also gave me a little taste of the chicken shawerma, which brought back some memories of Aleppo...
Neighborhood is dicey...
Photos of menu and sign attached.
re: Thomas Nash
Thank you so much, Thomas. And I'm so glad to see that lahmajun and the other baked pies are back on the menu. He didn't have enough space to make them when he was located across the street. His fans are used to the neighborhood, and his new spot is a step up.
re: Melanie Wong
Welcome back, Chef Besir; we savored every delicious bite of our dinner and and were welcomed by your generous hospitality in this lovely new space. The side room for Private Dining is an added comfort - for a future chowdown.
Opening Day treats and temptations included a small savory tasting plate of humus, olives, pepper, pickle, falafel, and sigara feta rolls - each a singular adventure. The humus is creamy, the falafel is crisp and souffle-like, the sigara feta rolls are richly melt-in-the-mouth crunchy goodness.
We enjoyed the excellent beef pie, zatar pie, lamb shish kebab at 6 pm, and returned after the SF Fringe performance of 'Submarine' for a take-out order of lahmajun, spinach pie, and the feta cheese pie at 8:30 pm. Chef Besir also added a comped baklava of both the walnut and pistachio - to our take-out order.
Spanakopita came out of the kitchen just as we were leaving, I know we'll be back soon. I love the salads and DH is the pie guy. Each of the 45 items on the menu beckons with a tantalizing promise.
Grill House Mediterranean hours: 11 am to 1 am
Grill House Mediterranean
533 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94102
We had a spectacular lunch today, every bit as good as promised. You know this is a different kind of schwerma and kabob place by the quality of meat--pink inside, crisp outside--dripping on the spits.
Mixed appetizer platter was refreshing, but it is the meats where Istanbul Grill House Méditerranean really shines. Pickled cabbage, red onions, and a great rice pilaf with traces of cloves and fried onions/shallots accompanied the meat.
Bread was only okay; Tajine makes a better bread. We also shared a semolina cake for dessert.
Inexpensive, fresh, and healthy. Free tea, friendly service, and a pretty back room. Now to remember this is open late and head downtown next time I'm hungry after 10.
Check it out.
As Thomas points out, the neighborhood is more unpleasant than ever. Take Geary west and walk down Taylor to avoid the worst of it.

re: Windy
My first stop when I returned to the City last night was to make a beeline here. At 10pm, there was a mini traffic jam in front of the restaurant with people dashing in and out, picking up takeout orders presumably. I circled a few times and a parking space materialized on the block so I had a chance to go in.
Alas, no Chef Vahit. The cashier said that Chef's days off will likely continue to be Sundays, so keep that in mind. I asked for Oktay, chef's son-in-law, and was told that he'd worked there two days and then moved on.
This was my first chance to study the menu, and it has Arabic dishes and not just Turkish. The meat on the spits are not called döner but rather shwarma. I decided to postpone getting something from the grill and instead got an order of spanokopita to-go. Not good. Underbaked dough in the middle was soggy and raw, and not very buttery. The spinach-cheese-onion filling was very wet.
I started a new thread now that it's open and has a name.
Still regret that I didn't get to taste Chef Vahit's cooking before he left Grill House.
Some second-hand information:
Chef Vahit's former assistant and (current) son-in-law, Oktay, is working at Real Doner in Petaluma.
Chef Vahit is in discussion with some backers for a restaurant "near a military base between Los Angeles and San Diego".
Real Doner (Gyro)
307 F St, Petaluma, CA 94952

Yesterday Jennifer Rubin linked to a new poll and pointedly remarked that:
Perhaps the most interesting response comes to this question: "Given that Iran has publicly threatened to annihilate Israel, would Israel be justified in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities?" 67% of Republicans, 47% of Democrats and 57% of Independents answer "yes." That's a rather startling and wide gap according to party identification, far wider than the gap regarding the generic "should we care about Israel's security" query.
She is, no doubt, correct in writing that this is a "wide gap." However, contrary to what readers might think, a 20% gap on Israel between American Democrats and Republicans is the norm rather than the exception.
Here's one example from January 2009, regarding the Gaza war:
Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans back Israel's decision to take military action against the Palestinians, but only half as many Democrats (31%) agree. A majority of Democrats (55%) say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first, a view shared by just 27% of Republicans.
And here you can find two older instances of the gap:
Take, for example, a recent Gallup poll about Americans' most- and least-favored nations. Israel, fairly popular with Americans, is "viewed more favorably by Republicans than by Democrats," the survey reports. Eighty-four percent of Republicans rank it favorably, compared with only 64 percent of Democrats. This is hardly a new phenomenon: Back in 2006, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll found that Republicans favored alignment with Israel over neutrality in the Israeli-Arab conflict 64 percent to 29 percent. By contrast, only 39 percent of Democrats supported alignment with Israel, while 54 percent favored neutrality.
I can list many such examples, but I think the point is clear: Democrats' support for Israel is not nearly as strong as Republicans'. Not even Democratic activists deny this, as was evident in a 2007 interview with Ira Forman, head of the National Jewish Democratic Council: "Most recent polls," Forman admitted, "show Republican voters are more supportive than Independents and Democrats. Most of this difference is accounted for by the overwhelming support given to Israel by Evangelical Christians." That indeed might be the reason for the "gap." But explaining the gap is just another way of admitting it exists.

Seattle has decided to basically ignore the question for now; Tacoma is still learning and exploring; and Spokane has jumped in with both feet.
Spokane Superintendent Shelley Redinger said districts that do not embrace the possibility of charter schools may have the issue forced on them.
"We don't want divisiveness," said Redinger, who experienced a similar transition in Oregon at a previous job. She moved back to Washington in 2012 and says the approach districts take now matters.
Although school districts are not required to make any immediate decisions, the new law gives them options.

Talking about myself huh? Hmm, where to start? Well my name is Nick and I'm currently a student at BYU-I studying Mechanical Engineering and my own business owner as well with the plan to get my masters degree in Engineering from the University of Utah. I'm a guy who very much likes to do new things and I really enjoy a good challenge. :) Even if it kicks my butt sometimes.
Pushing myself and doing something new is awesome and something I strive to do any chance I can get. With day to day stuff that needs to get done I don't get that chance a lot, but I love to do it nonetheless! Modern technology, guns especially are some of my biggest hobbies/passions in life and I would love to work with them/design them for my career, or anything to do with technology and things like that. I just love creating and designing and making stuff, so something that lets me do that every day would be awesome!
As far as more about me personally I'm a really easy going kind of guy who never really worries, like ever, at least the pointless kind that just makes you unhappy and doesn't change anything because that seriously drives me crazy. Instead of worrying I like/naturally want to go to work fixing the problem or getting something done so it isn't a problem anymore. I always, always, always do my best to focus on the positive and look for the good in everything I can because there is really so much good in this life and true blessings in the trials we have to be grateful for! The gospel of Jesus Christ and what it means for us is the most important thing we can possibly do and dedicate ourselves to in this life and finding someone who loves the gospel and who I can share those experiences with is so important to me.
A temple marriage is an absolute MUST for me, nothing less will do, because the type or relationship that I want to have with her, one so completely devoted and dedicated to each other and so full of love, is one that I want to have forever. So only an eternal marriage will do.
On the topic of marriage I have been married once before, and despite being completely faithful and dedicated and giving it everything that my imperfect self could my wife said one day that she just wasn't happy and didn't think we were working out. I did everything I could to try to convince her to stay and work out the little things, every single little thing I could, everything I could think of, everything, like even going to marriage counseling by myself, do anything I could, etc, but in the end she made her decision and decided to leave and I had no choice but to respect it. Even though it would have been really easy to be mad or bitter I chose not to. I chose very early on to not be mad, or harbor anger or resentment and to forgive and do my best. As imperfect as I am knowing I chose to live the gospel by keeping my temple covenants and choosing to forgive, even though my wife didn't, has brought me so, so much peace. The gospel really is the best!!
Anyways, as I hope you can tell by now I have no problem being open and really honest with people. Beating around the bush as the saying goes drives me nuts, so I do my best to always avoid it. "Honesty is the best policy. "
Other than that there's still plenty to tell for sure, but if you're interested send me a message or something and I'd be happy to tell you all about it and get to know you better too. :)

I was staying in the single room where the window is facing the balcony in front of the front door. There was someone smoking and chatting in the balcony, so there was all smoke in my room, pretty annoying for a non-smoker, especially at 1 am when you were sleeping. Of course it depends on the 'flatmates'. Hawaii and Hoops were very friendly and helpful, and I appreciate that.

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 05/14/2012
Because diagnosis depends on surgical intervention and xanthogranulomas of the intrasellar region are very rare, the natural history of xanthogranuloma is still unknown. Therefore, this entity is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The authors suggest that xanthogranuloma should be included in the differential diagnosis, even in the case of sellar lesions, to formulate appropriate postoperative management and improve endocrine outcomes.

Re: next gen kepler to support dx 11.1, also take a year to rollout all cards
Unfortunately, since their mainstream card will have to compete with ATI's high-end until Q3-Q4, then 2GB isn't enough for those who like to mod their games.
You can get a 3GB 580 but they still sell for 580$ on newegg and are in very small quantities. On the other hand, you can get a 7950 3GB with equal or better performance for $460.
I guess it's possible they could release a 4GB version of Kepler mainstream, which is what they really need to do to compete.

7. The Majority of Pontypool
Anyone seen this thing? It's on Netflix right now and it's totally one of the more creative zombie films out there despite the director insisting that the villains aren't technically zombies. It takes place at a small-time radio station during an apparent infection that spreads unlike any other. Instead of seeing the hoards of walking drones we mainly hear about it through the accounts of others calling into the station. This is what makes it so goddamn creative, and so extremely scary.
The beauty is that the film delivers something that feels epic, but is done on a much smaller scale and budget. It's the Orson Welles "War Of The Worlds" technique. Literally – for it was not only a film but a radio play as well. It's one of those things you kick yourself for not realizing – zombies are essentially the new alien invasion fear, so naturally a radio broadcast would fit perfectly into the genre.

Commitment to Textbook Affordability
Carroll is committed to minimizing the rising costs of textbooks. Faculty carefully considers the appropriateness of textbooks and other supplemental materials, the cost to students, and factors that determine the cost. State and federal legislation mandate that faculty strive for maximum use and minimal cost of instructional materials to alleviate the economic burden on students.
The following are Carroll's best practices for achieving the most cost effective and optimal instructional use of textbooks and materials for students.
- Provides textbook information as early as possible. ISBNs and ordering information are posted on the Bookstore's Web site and Blackboard - Carroll's online learning tool - to allow students comparison shopping time. Students can anticipate this information being posted in October for Winter and Spring semesters and April for Summer and Fall semesters.
- Encourages faculty textbook submissions prior to finals and textbook buyback. Students receive up to 50% of the current retail price for their unwanted books, and the Bookstore can then place the used book stock on its shelves for other students to buy at a reduced price.
- Orders only the books that will be used to support learning objectives. Textbooks are distinguished between required and optional.
- Negotiates prices with publishers. Faculty ask for the net price of the textbooks and supplements, so the selling price to students can be calculated and negotiated to pass the savings to students. Publishers are required to provide prices for supplemental materials, bundled and unbundled materials, current and previous textbook editions and paperbacks and other alternative textbook formats.
- Considers cost efficient customized textbooks. In some cases, customization is more than a different cover, title page or minimal changes to content. Such customization requires a new ISBN. If either the original or customized textbooks can be used for a course, both ISBNs are provided. Carroll's Bookstore does not buyback custom textbooks.
- Offers bundles having only essential materials. As such, all bundled materials being offered are used for a course. If all bundled materials are not necessary, faculty negotiates with publishers about unbundling. Though, bundling significantly reduces the cost to students, faculty carefully considers the impact of one-time-use bundled materials will have on students' ability to sell those materials back to the Bookstore or to other students.
- Investigates e-textbook offerings. Many textbooks are available electronically - saving students' money and providing flexible access. Faculty contact publishers about the availability of an electronic version of the textbook being considered.
- Recommends open source textbooks where available. There is a growing movement to create and post public domain textbooks.
- Communicates to students how the textbook(s) will be used in a course. Faculty provides this information early in the semester and addresses student concerns and questions about textbook costs and use. At the end of the course, faculty encourage student feedback on the textbook(s) use and value.
- Encourages use of Carroll's online library and open Internet resources. Links to library databases and Web sites for course related readings, exercises, articles and more are available through Blackboard - Carroll's online learning tool. Faculty work with the librarians to provide these links.
- Provides a link to the Bookstore from Blackboard for students to obtain textbook ISBNs.
- Supports using textbooks for multiple semesters when possible. Faculty work with the Bookstore to insure a sufficient supply for an entire semester.
- Offers current required textbooks on reserve in Carroll's Library. Faculty work with librarians to identify specific needs and use patterns.
- Encourages multiple editions to be used for a course when practical. Readings and homework assignments may need adjusting.

10 Things Not to Say to a New Mom
Kathryn Gamble
This sounds like sage advice, but many moms know it's almost impossible to follow. When else are you supposed to get anything done if not when the baby's napping? It's also hard to squeeze in a nap if you have other kids that need your time and attention. "I wish people wouldn't tell you to 'sleep when the baby's sleeping' without offering help!" says Eileen Zyco Wolter, a mother of two from Summit, New Jersey. The next time you're at a new mom's house, offer to watch the kids or straighten up around the house so she can lie down for a bit.Wow, you look tired!
Sleepless nights go hand-in-hand with parenthood, and unless a new mom lives in a house without any mirrors, she's probably noticed those bags under her eyes. Pointing it out to her -- even in a sympathetic manner -- might make her feel self-conscious about her appearance.
"People would ask me, 'Are you sleeping?' The answer is always a depressing, 'No,'" says Carrie Carroll, a mom of twins from Arlington, Virginia. "Another one is: 'Have you had a chance to relax or have a little you time?' Again, the answer is a sad, 'No!'"Your baby sure does cry a lot!
All babies cry, but mentioning that her baby is especially fussy might confirm a first-time mom's worst fear: that she isn't a good mom. It's okay to offer up a tip if it's helpful ("My son cried a lot and we discovered he had acid reflux."), but don't diminish the stress she might be going through. "I don't care if you're a 'seasoned veteran' in the mommy world and you know that just because my newborn refuses to sleep doesn't mean a lifetime of therapy. As a new mom, it is the end of the world to me and it is a big deal, so let me freak out if I want to!" says Leslie Haywood, inventor of Grill Charms and mom of two from Charleston, South Carolina.It only gets worse as they get older!
When parents are in that newborn phase -- no sleep, constant feedings, and no time for themselves -- sometimes all they have to keep their sanity is the knowledge that it will get better.
"My husband had a ridiculous travel schedule and I was alone with our colicky baby a lot," says Sally Murdoch-King, a mom from Portland, Oregon. "To anyone who says parenthood gets tougher or just wait until they are three, four, or 15...they are dead wrong! Your love grows and grows the more you know your child, and while things may be frustrating, you have more and more good times to reflect on as a parent to get you through the bad."Did you really want a boy/a girl?
When Amy Williams had her second boy, she was shocked when people looked at her sympathetically and asked, "Awww...didn't you really want a girl?" "It is awful to hear that and [it's] so negative," Williams says. "Babies don't come with an exchange policy. Having two boys has been the most exciting adventure of my life -- it's been a blast!"
Instead of ignoring rude remarks, Williams took action and designed a fashion brand for moms with boys called Boymom; it celebrates the joyous adventure of raising boys. After much demand she created a second apparel line for moms of girls, Girlmom.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Junior Stephanie Gilkenson (Cranston, R.I.) scored her second goal of the season and sophomore Chelsea Kuss (Warners, N.Y.) extended her point-scoring streak, but Shayla Bergeron netted a pair of goals as the University of New Hampshire women's soccer team was edged by the University at Albany on Thursday afternoon at Varsity Field.
|Chelsea Kuss
The Wildcats fall to 5-6-3 on the season, including 1-2-0 in America East play, while the Great Danes improve to 6-6-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the conference.
Gilkenson and Kuss jump-started the 'Cats 27:04 into the game when Gilkenson received a cross from Kuss on the right and ripped a shot from the top of the box that beat Albany goalkeeper Breanna Maggio to give UNH a 1-0 lead. The assist, Kuss' league-leading fifth of the season, extended her point-scoring streak to three matches. The reigning America East Player of the Week now has at least one point in five of her last seven contests and leads the team with nine points.
Just 2:25 later, however, Bergeron collected a pass from Kendra Harrell-Vigil on a breakaway and beat freshman goalkeeper Erica Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) to tie it at one.
The score stayed that way the entire match until Bergeron struck again with just 2:36 remaining in regulation to lift her squad to the 2-1 win.
Correa made seven saves, while Maggio stopped four shots.
Senior Amy Avitabile (Pembroke, Mass.) was named the America East Player of the Game for the Wildcats, while Bergeron took home the honors for Albany.
Albany doubled up the Wildcats in shots, 24-12, and also held a 2-0 advantage in corner kicks.
The Wildcats return to action Sunday, Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. when they travel north to take on interstate rival University of Maine at Alumni Field.

Video: Postgame Interview With Kaitlin Cole
EASTON, Pa. - Junior Whitney Fremeau (Manchester, N.H.) was one rebound shy of her second career double-double, notching 14 points and nine rebounds to lead the Holy Cross women's basketball team to a 50-47 win against Lafayette at the Kirby Sports Center. With the win, the Crusaders post a 7-16 record (3-5 Patriot League) and even the season record against Lafayette while the Leopards fall to 4-18 (2-6 Patriot League).
After senior Christy Cushnie (Vienna, Va.) knocked down the first field goal of the game, a three-point shot, Lafayette would score six unanswered points to go ahead 6-3 in the early minutes of the first half. Senior Briana McFadden (Wheaton, Md.) would then set herself up for an easy three-point shot, knotting the game at 12-12 with 12:05 on the clock. The Crusaders would score on three of their next four possessions to go ahead 21-16 at 7:12. Holy Cross stayed ahead by at least three points before outscoring the Leopards 6-2 in the final six minutes of the half to pull ahead by seven points, 28-21, heading into the locker room. McFadden led all Holy Cross scorers with eight points after the first 20 minutes while the team shot 39 percent from field. Lafayette shot 40 percent.
Holy Cross maintained a two-possession lead, 33-27, after earning a three-point shot made from Fremeau and a lay-up by freshman Kaitlin Cole (Springfield, Pa.) to start the second stanza. Each team scored an additional five points over the next three minutes of play, as the Crusaders kept a 38-32 lead at the midway point. The Crusaders would regain their largest lead of the game, a seven-point advantage (44-37) after Fremeau notched her sixth field goal of the game at 7:30. After a two-minute scoring drought the Leopards pulled within three points, marking the score at 46-42 at 2:42. Holy Cross would never relinquish the lead the rest of the way through, however, taking home a 50-47 win in Easton.
Two players notched double-digit performances for Holy Cross, including Fremeau's 14 points. McFadden followed with 11 points on three-for-seven shooting from the field and added seven rebounds. Cole notched a season-high six points in 12 minutes of playing time, tying her season-high. The team also tied its season-high with 41 rebounds, outrebounding the Leopards 41-24. Lafayette was led by junior Elizabeth Virgin who tallied 15 points and four rebounds.
Holy Cross will start a three-game homestretch against Army beginning Wednesday, Feb. 10. Tip time is set for 7:00 p.m. at the Hart Center in Worcester, Mass. Army won the first meeting this season, 65-61, on Jan. 13.

Jason Shen, Co-Founder of Ridejoy, Captain of 2009 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Champion Stanford team
I imagine it's different for every gymnast, but here's my perspective of competing a yurchenko double full in an NCAA meet. The quoted words are basically the anchor phrases that I'm thinking during the actual vault.
- Visualize the vault. When the guy in front of me is competing, I imagine myself doing the vault – from the run to the vault to the landing. I know what it should feel like when it's done right, and the visualization helps me reach that ideal vault.
- Set the vault. Every gymnast wants the springboard at a slightly different place, with more or less springs in the board, and for a Yurchenko, there's often a mat infront of the board. Usually your coach or teammate helps you with this, but sometimes you gotta do it yourself.
- Line up against the tape measure. Every gymnast also knows how far back they like to start. While it's called a runway, most athletes only start 60-90 feet back, which around 8-12 steps.
- Chalk up my hands and feet. This helps with traction and preventing slipping/sliding, especially if you sweat a lot.
- Salute the judge. When the judge(s) are ready, they raise a flag. I take a deep breath, raise my hand, and set on to the runway.
- Start the run. I usually take light, controlled steps – it's not an all out sprint. I have my eyes on the board.
- "Reach." In a Yurchenko, you do a round off on to the board, so I'm focusing on reaching forward to get my hands on a particular spot on the blue mat in front of the board.
- "Snap." I want my round off to turn me over a lot so I can hit the board in a good position to get maximum power. The word "snap" helps me think of snapping my feet in front of me on the board.
- "Big block." The key to powerful vault is to hit the horse with a lot of power and with your entire board super tight and in one piece, so that all energy you hit the horse with is returned to you. This action is called a "block" in gymnastics.
- "Tight wrap." After the block, I'm think about wrapping (twisting) as hard as I can, to complete the double twist.
- Prepare for the landing. Once you feel you're almost done twisting, you start preparing your body for the landing. This mainly means getting your legs ready to take a really hard deceleration into the mat.
- Control the landing. Ideally, you stick your vault and don't move, but usually you're a little off balance, so you do your best to take as few steps as possible to stop all motion.
It sounds more complicated than it feels. In competition especially, you have gone through this same routine a million times in practice, and it all goes by pretty fast.
My disclaimer is that vault was never my strongest event, and I actually suffered a pretty serious knee injury that prevented me from competing on most events even post-recovery. It might be different for a gymnast for whom vault was his speciality.
This question originally appeared on Quora. More questions on Gymnastics:
- Why do Olympic gymnasts wear paper numbers attached to the back of their uniforms?
- Why are American female gymnasts consistently dominant, whereas American male gymnasts are overall not nearly as competitive in the world stage?
- How many points would Mary Lou Retton's perfect-10 vaults at the 1984 Olympics receive with the modern scoring system and competitive level?

Kristen Stewart's Mother: "It's OK to Make Mistakes"
Kristen Stewart started as a child star, but her mother, Jules Stewart, said she raised her kids to be adults, and coached them to not be afraid to make mistakes or fail.
Those lessons probably came in handy in the past year, as the Twilight star went from the adored half of "Robsten" with Robert Pattinson, to "the other woman" in what Kristen herself called an "indiscretion" with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. Jules co-wrote and directed the new film K-11 and talked to the site Suicide Girls about the film, as well as her children.
"You have an incredibly talented family. You must be very proud. As a mother, how did you foster creativity within your children?"
Jules Stewart: "Well I tried to raise my kids…I didn't raise them to be children, I raised them to be adults. That a concept that might be lost on a lot of people. I also tried to make them understand that it's OK to make mistakes, so don't be afraid to have a go at doing something different. And in that vein of 'I'm interested in this, let's try it, let's see what happens' my kids have always been the first ones on the line ready to have a go at something different. And it's OK to fail, because that's how you learn, when you fail."
Kristen has been very adventurous so far in her film career, and she's been hearing a lot of that "it's OK to make mistakes" message from her peers in Hollywood, like Emma Watson, who feel KStew was unfairly attacked after the "scandal" news broke. Now it's a new year, with new opportunities for Kristen and her family — and Rob, if they decide to keep their relationship alive. Time will tell.

As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself.
"Beth Chappell, Social Work Student "One of the highlights for me has been how issues of justice and concern for others have been at the heart of the course. Small group and class discussions have been an opportunity to debate and consider current policies and dilemmas and the law content of the course has helped me to understand the current legal context in which social workers practice."
The University of Birmingham is able to provide a wide range of practice opportunities wihin statutory, voluntary and independent social care settings.The social work department is also fortunate to have a range of exciting new small student units and innovative practice projects, and we regularly receive excellent feedback from students about these. The learning gained from these placements supports and builds on the learning taking place at the university. Hear what some of our social work students say about their placement at Core Assets and the SWEET Project.

Nafisa Aksar, BA Social Work "I found the course demanding at times, although I soon found that the key to this challenge was being organised and managing my time"
Gemma Mallett, MA Social Work "I made a set of friends for life. The course was testing at times and I supported and was supported in return, from a great bunch of people who I met on the course."
