Today I heard a story about a top ranked hospital with some of the most highly trained doctors in the country. Coincidentally, the facility had the lowest rate of hand washing among MD's relative to all other hospitals. Quite the paradox, don't you think? If the most educated members of hospital staff can't manage to consistently wash their hands, what hope do we have for fast food joints? It makes me shudder to think about, but that's beside the point.
The interesting part of the story was the hospital's solution to the problem. Administrators went around the hospital asking if doctors would like to get their hands swabbed. The results were taken to a lab and put in a petri dish. After a couple weeks, some repulsive looking bacteria predictably grew rampant in almost all of the petri dishes. Rather than continuing their approach of positive reinforcement that included handing out hand-sanitizer and awarding gift cards, the hospital got creative. Administrators took a picture of the repulsive dishes and made them the screen savers for all computers in the hospital. As a result, hand washing jumped from ~65% to almost 100%.
To make sure the stats stuck, the hospital employed another tactic: public shaming. If any doctors were caught not washing their hands, their name and picture were posted on the whiteboard during weekly all-hands meetings in a passive-aggressive form of disgrace.
That may sound a little extreme, but it has been very effective.
A Lesson In Behavior Modification
There is a generally accepted paradigm that being educated about subject correlates to making the right decisions. But in cases like the one above, there seems to be a gap between knowing what you should do and actually doing it.
My question is: Can this, in some way, be applied in a brands' social program? These days, as you might expect, social is driven by positive reinforcement. Influencers are given recognition, fans are rewarded for generating UGC, and in some instances, advocates are rewarded with goods and merchandise.
By all accounts this seems to work, but there are always those tactics that lie on the fringes of your social media tool belt and can be very effective if employed correctly. Maybe adding undertones of negative reinforcement can be the perfect complement to the more mainstream approach we see these days.
So Does That Mean We Should Start Posting Disturbing Pictures?
Yeah… I don't think so. Using disturbing imagery probably only works for a handful of brands, most of them having to do with health. We've already seen anti-smoking organizations and organizations focused on eliminating drunk driving use graphic imagery to get their points across with success. In fact, research suggests that the approach has been effective in anti-smoking campaigns leading 53% of sampled adolescents to at least try to quit smoking. This Australian ad is the perfect example of how negative graphic imagery can be used to influence behavior. I'm guessing you're not going to want a cigarette after taking a look.
A Little Public Shaming Never Hurt Anybody
Okay, I'll admit that suggesting we add elements of public shame into social programs feels a little… unethical. But, if done delicately and with a playful approach, it can add an edginess to your program that your audience will appreciate.
Example: Ultimate Vodka's Social Life Audit
Consider the "Social Life Audit" app from Ultimate Vodka that pulls your Facebook data to assess your social life and publishes your score on your wall. The driving emotive behind this app that makes it so intriguing is that there is a risk of not getting a good score.
It blatantly tags pictures with all guys as a "sausage fest", pokes fun about how few people of the opposite gender you spend time with, or how "unhappy" people look when they're in pictures with you. They then display your score, no matter how positive or negative, on your wall for the world to see. It's edgy, it can be embarrassing, and it's AWESOME!
In the end, it always comes down to your audience, what values or purpose you are trying to build your social media presence and community around, and what kind of resources are at your disposal. That said, if you have what it takes to capitalize on the powerful behavioral influencers like social queues and, frankly, disgust, you should use it where appropriate.

Start Preparing for Storms of Any Size
When a hurricane is coming, preparation is key. The strong winds and heavy rains that accompany them can wreak havoc. Weather channels can predict hurricanes with accuracy, so listen regularly to radio or watch TV for weather broadcasts. This alerts you to hurricanes that may affect you, allowing you to prepare more efficiently.
If your house has a dry basement, that is a good place for you to take shelter. If not, perhaps you can seek shelter during the storm at the home of a friend or relative or at a local shelter. Leaving your home is important if mandatory evacuation is ordered. If riding out the storm in your home, make sure to secure any lose objects in the yard, and close storm shutters, if you have them. If not, apply masking tape to your windows in an X to provide extra strength to the glass. Alternatively, you can use boards to cover the windows.
Make sure that you have enough food and water on hand for your family to last for several days. If you lose power, your faucets and toilets may not work. Your electric stove is useless too, so have food on hand that does not need cooking, or have an alternate cooking method. Sometimes a wind speed gauge is also useful when you are awaiting the storm and need to know how bad the winds are getting. Keep flashlights and batteries handy as well as candles and/or propane lanterns. Ideally, you can have a generator installed to supply back up power when the power fails. Safety is your priority during a hurricane, so take steps well in advance to make sure that you and your family remain safe.

Electronic Cymbals Question
I am new here but not new to online forums. I have been a closet drummer for years and finally broke down about a year ago and purchased a used Yamaha DTXtreme III drum kit. I really enjoy it and my playing has improved greatly through this past year.
Onto my question. I am having a bigger and bigger problem with the cymbals. They have the choke feature which I like and do use when playing but I find more and more that even when I just hit the cymbal "normally" it will cut off like it is being choked and it sounds bad to say the least. Is this a common problem? Is there something that wears out like the felt pieces that cause this? I don't think my technique has changed THAT much to cause this but if anyone has some advice I am all ears. I have tried to move the angle of the cymbals up and down to see if that made a difference and it doesn't do much.
Any advice or comments would greatly appreciated.
Re: Electronic Cymbals Question
I have the DTXplorer and have had that problem only a couple of times which is weird because I don't have the cymbals that choke...
I let my friend record himself on a couple of songs and it happened to him kind of often...He has bad technique so it may be a different way of hitting them that's causing it
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the correct way and the only way, it does not exist."
Re: Electronic Cymbals Question
Start with the basic diagnostics:
-Try swapping cables to see if you cable is cutting out.
-Try a factory reset (you'd be surprised at the bugs it fixes)
If these don't work, try taking the cymbal off of the cymbal arm and hitting the cymbal while it's in you hand. The cymbal may be striking something that's causing the choke feature to go off, or you're getting a double-triggering effect that may be causing it to cut-out.
If these ideas don't work then let me know and we'll go from there.
Best regards,

CONCORD, N.C. -- Bobby East returns to pilot the No. 09 Zaxby's Ford F-150 this weekend at O'Reilly Raceway Park. In addition to competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on Saturday, East is competing in the National Silver Crown Championship race and two National Midget Championship races. East talks about the transition from each race car, and his goals for this weekend.
BOBBY EAST - No. 09 Zaxby's Ford F-150 - WE SAW YOU LAST IN MEMPHIS; THIS IS YOUR FIRST WEEK BACK IN THE TRUCK. WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR TIME AWAY FROM TRUCK RACING? "I've just been racing my Midget and have been spending time with guys on the Zaxby's Ford F-150 team. I've been looking forward to the Indy race all year."
ORP IS YOUR HOME TRACK AND YOU'VE RACED THERE IN A VARIETY OF SERIES. IS IT A SPECIAL TRACK TO YOU? "Yeah, it is, because it is my home track. It's a track that has a lot of history to it. Everybody loves going there because of the great racing that goes on there. In that regard, it's pretty special. We're taking the same truck that we raced at Memphis, so I think it will be a really good race for everybody here."
CAN YOU CARRY MOMENTUM FROM MEMPHIS INTO ORP? "A little bit, yeah, I think so. We've had four races this season and earned two top-10s. Obviously, we'd like to have four top 10s and even a win. We'd obviously like to run better, but we're fairly happy with what we've done. If we keep gaining on what we've done, we'll get some top fives and go from there. I think we have a little bit of momentum on our side."
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MIDGET RACING PROGRAM? "We've been pretty solid this year. We've had troubles and my team is good enough to overcome those troubles, which is what you've got to do when you're making a championship run. I think we're well on our way with that. Last time we raced at ORP, we won there in a Midget and we were really good. Our pavement program is just really strong this year. I'm hoping to win that race and the Silver Crown race on Thursday, and that will give me a lot of momentum for Friday night."
YOU HAVE FOUR RACES THIS WEEK? "I'll be in four races. I've got two on Thursday, the Midget and the Silver Crown car. On Friday night, I'm racing the truck at ORP and Saturday I have a 400-lap Midget race at Anderson, Indiana."
SO HOW DO YOU TRANSITION FROM THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RACING? "You just do it. I've been gaining experience at all of them. It really takes experience and it takes a lot of focus to switch your mind over to what vehicle you're getting into. You just do it and that's what you do. I started hydrating last week because it is going to be hot and humid this week. Physically, everything will be perfectly fine there and I'll just make sure to keep fluids in me all week. I should have plenty of energy for the whole weekend. It should be fun."
WHAT'S MORE DIFFICULT, BEING PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY PREPARED? "Neither. One's not tougher than the other. I use the off season and a couple of days during the week to stay physically fit and eat healthy and drink a lot of water and stuff like that. Mentally, it's not a problem. It's just switching your mind over from what vehicle you just came from to the vehicle that you'll be getting into."
ON RACING AT ORP. "It is a tough track because you're in the corners for so long, so you've got to have a lot of corner speed there. It's fun racing because the track is so flat on the bottom. It's progressively banked all the way to the top. Sometimes it can create three lanes of racing, so that means a lot of passing. I think that's why everybody loves racing at ORP, too, because they put on great races because you can pass quite a bit there."
MOST OF THE TRUCK SERIES TRACKS SEEM VERY FAN-FRIENDLY AND ORP SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FAN-FRIENDLY TRACKS. "Yeah, it's very fan-friendly. They bring in portable grandstands and put them pretty all the way around. Then of course, they have the hill that you can sit on in turn one. Yeah, it's a fan-friendly track."
WHAT ARE YOU GOALS FOR THE FOUR RACES? "I'm hoping to win both races on Thursday night and have a top-five run in the Zaxby's Ford F-150 and win that race on Saturday night, too."

Miami will sign Dwayne wade , johnson and stoudamire.
Ok so Pat Riley is in charge of the front office and he is handling the money.
What a relieve!! He is a winner. He has a winner mentality. He knows what to do.
Tell me is this isnt a good move and if is not possible , I think is very possible.
First off , we have to consider the fact that Wade has stated that he will accept a non max contract if his winning chances are high.
Heat sign Wade , Amare and either Johnson or Gay.
Free up some space , by letting Beasley go in a trade. Maybe they can trade for David Lee.
But By being a Heat fan( i prob missed like 5 games in total) i witnessed passes both from Arroyo and chalmers , ( Arroyo is a way better passer) passes to Beasley , Anthony , Jones , Magloire , so many passes inside the paint , right under the ****ing hoop. And the ball either slipped off their hands out of bounds , or onto the opponents hands , Can u imagine the alley oops from Arroyo to Amare/Wade/Johnson/Gay.
Arroyo can stay , for 1 mil a year he could be a nice addition if they cant find a good point guard. His point are not all that but his assit to to ratio is prob like top 5 in the league.
Imagine this starting lineup.
pg - Arroyo 2nd chalmers
g - Johnson / Richardson
sg - wade /Wright
pf - haslem or Lee
c - Amare. J'O could stay and contend , but he will have to be happy with a medium salary contract , whioch I doubt it. But I think he really wants to stay so who knows. Or even If they let Haslem go Amare at PF and J'O at center. I dont know.
But damn , I cant control my erection over the thought of the Arroyo alley oops to either one of those guys. Even Bosh , Or Carlos Boozer.
I think they can do it

Tell Riley its not the 80s anymore.
Johnson and Bosh to the Bulls
LeBron to the Knicks
Stoudemire to Miami. Wade stays in Miami.
Reasons why....
1) Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah are promising young talent
2) LeBron = $$$$$
3) Wade has already came out and said he loves Chicago, but his heart is in Miami. Plus Wade's crazy-ex lives in Chicago

The Mount Pleasant Police Department is recruiting citizens to enroll in the upcoming Mount Pleasant Citizen Police Academy beginning Sept. 12. "The Mount Pleasant Police Department believes its service delivery must incorporate a shared responsibility with the community and motivate the strengths of neighborhoods.
Critical to the success of this shared responsibility are well-informed citizens who have an awareness of the mission, resources, practices and services of the department.
To that end, the Mount Pleasant Police Department has developed a 10-week Citizen Police Academy for the residents of Mount Pleasant," said Mount Pleasant Police Chief Carl Ritchie.
The Mount Pleasant Citizen Police Academy – the third of its kind in South Carolina – provides a chance for the citizens of Mount Pleasant to understand the various aspects of the police department on a more personal level and to closely interact with its members.
A wide range of topics will be discussed to include, but not limited to, national accreditation, operations, uniform patrol, traffic services and investigations.
"Community involvement is the most powerful, efficient and practical force any local law enforcement agency has in the fight against crime," said Crime Prevention Officer Bryce Gregory.
"The department wants to encourage the citizens of the town to become active partners with their police department by working together to identify solutions and strategies to the problems facing Mount Pleasant.
"More than just an educational opportunity for citizens, the academy has proven beneficial to the police department as well.
"Several graduates have become volunteers for the police department, good will ambassadors for the Town of Mount Pleasant and promoters of the academy itself."
Meeting only on Thursdays, one day a week for 10 weeks, from 6 until 8 p.m., these classes will allow flexibility for voluntary portions of the program.
Class size will be limited to 20 students of at least 18 years of age who have successfully completed the application process.
The next class is scheduled to begin on Sept. 12.
The classes will take place at the Mount Pleasant Police Department, 100 Ann
Edwards Lane. Anyone interested in enrolling in the Citizen Police Academy should contact Crime Prevention Officer Bryce Gregory at 843-849-2779 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Miso Caramel
Photo credit: Food52
Remember when we told you to cook with more miso? That means dessert, too.
Steer clear of über-salty varieties and opt for white or saikyo miso, a mild and subtly sweet miso that hails from the southern Japanese city of Kyoto. Its low salt content is thanks to a short fermentation of just three weeks. (By comparison, super-salty akamiso ferments for up to three years!) You can order it online here or at Japanese specialty stores.
White miso shines in this Food52 twist on salted caramel. Start by melting sugar until it's a deep golden brown, then slowly whisk in heavy cream. As a final flourish, stir in a couple tablespoons of miso for that umami boom. We like the sauce spooned over a few scoops of rich vanilla ice cream, or even on a slice of apple pie.
Miso Caramel
From Food52
Makes 1 pint
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons white miso
Once off the heat, carefully pour in the cream, which will cause the caramel to bubble. Stir to combine. If the caramel seizes up and hardens with the addition of the cold cream, then put the pan back over low heat and stir until the caramel is liquid again. Whisk in the miso. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into a lidded container. Store in the refrigerator.

Joe Rogan corrects Korean rolling story
What happens in training stays in training.
The reason for that is, it doesn't matter who does what in training.
However, over the weekend a story circulated around the Internets that about-to-be UFC fighter Hyun Gyu Lim said recently on a Korean MMA radio show that in 2010 he tapped Joe Rogan in a training session. The story goes like this:
A few things were cleared up almost immediately. The "deathstare and refusal to accept an apology" was actually just a guy having a tweaked elbow. Rogan later graciously accepted an apology. And Lin left the session with tweaked ribs.
There is probably something dumber to make a fuss about than who did what to who while rollng, but given the nature of modern media, where an interview on Korean radio can lead to international misunderstanding, it is best to get everything out there.
In an interview with MiddleEasy, Rogan explained what really happened.
"I was a bit surprised to read about this," said Rogan. "Since most of the time people treat training as what it is; practice, and don't try to turn things into something to publicize someone's UFC appearance which is what I'm assuming they're doing here. I'm also assuming you're getting this from one of his coaches or friends which is why the story is slightly off. I've rolled with a number of guys over the years that have fought in the UFC and other organizations and this is the first time anyone has made a "story" out of training with me.
'I should first state that all of those Korean guys are nothing but gentlemen. Very cool guys at the fights and they were very cool at the gym as well.
"I remember rolling with Mr. Lim because I tend to remember most people that catch me with something, but I certainly was never mad at him. My recollection was that they were there to train for Dongi Yang's fight, and I was just there taking class as usual.
"I didn't just walk into the gym as in their version, but it could be that they hadn't noticed me or something. It was the last roll of the night, and they asked me to train with one of their fighters. I don't remember the roll too much other than he was very good, and it was pretty fast paced. I remember at one point I got his back for a while, but I couldn't finish him, and I remember being really tired by that point.
"We separated and he caught me in a sweet triangle/arm bar combination. It was very quick and very nice. My elbow got tweaked but I was certainly never upset at him. That could have easily been a language barrier thing, though as I was in some pain.
"I iced my elbow and we all sat around and talked some afterwards. My elbow was fine after a day or so. I'm not sure why they would say I was mad at him other than that it makes for a better story that way.
"Either way, nice guy, and very skillful. That whole team is filled with very talented fighters."
Korean Top Team manager came on the UG and cleared things up even further.
From: Shug
When I first saw this story on Sherdog, I was worried that it would get blown out of proportion. I guess it's a slow week in MMA news.
Anyway, like I mentioned on Sherdog and Joe reiterated in his interview, there really wasn't any bad blood. It was just the kind of thing that happens in training. I haven't had a chance to talk to Lim about the interview yet, but I'm sure it was just an off the cuff "interesting UFC related" story not intended to make Joe look bad, or to brag.
We've (KTT) seen Joe several times when we've gone to train at 10th Planet, both with KZ and Dongi Yang, and he's always been super friendly and fun to chat with. After that particular roll, Lim genuinely felt really bad about Joe elbow (and even worse about his own ribs later on!). And, as mentioned, Lim apologized and Joe accepted.
Anyway, Joe, if you're reading this, please know that we have no ill will towards you at all! Hope to see you soon at 10th Planet or at the next event that you're commentating.
Just wanted to add that Lim was answering a question specifically about him rolling with Joe, so it wasn't as though he brought up the topic out of the blue.
Also, the whole concept that what happens in training shouldn't be talked about isn't really the case here in Korea. So, Lim didn't realize he was breaking a code of ethics.
For those people who think that Ace was trying get attention or hype himself up for the Macau event... If that were the case, he wouldn't have done it on some obscure internet show that very, very few people listen to (I didn't even know it existed until today!).
I saw Ace in the gym a little while ago and he's shocked that this thing has gotten so much attention. He even asked if he should make a video apology to Joe to upload on the internet. However, I hope that Joe realizes that there was no ill intent.

Lastly, Rogan won't be handling the announcing of Lim's debut bout next month anyway.

Serious Bad form...violates the training code and is a lame publicity attempt. Rogan rolled that dirt off his shoulder well.

the story is neither goofy or Korean. imo.... that'd be like listening to Gillard's account of the Lauzon fight and calling it a goofy African American story

New York
Things to do in NYC in between meals
Per a previous post, my BF and I are coming to NYC. Our main activity is to eat A LOT.We have a pretty good list of places to eat, but we need some suggestions on stuff to do when we're too full to eat some more.
The majority of places on our food list are in West Village, East Village, and Brooklyn (a bit scattered, we'll have to refine it to a couple of neighborhoods).
We're in our mid 20's and not really into typical touristy sight seeing. That said, we're up for just about anything else. Any suggestions for some cool stuff to do would be great.

Filipina Cherry Ethel Fucked in Hotel
My continuing hunt for Filipina cherry to enjoy lead me to Ethel. Feeling a bit hungry I started to look out for something to eat. In a local Pizza Joint I discovered this really cute little Filipina Cherry waiting for her pizza. As I always do when I spot a girl I like, I approached her and tried to make contact. Ethel was really shy! She was giggling and smiling and didn't respond much to what I had to say. But she did say yes when I asked if she would mind sharing the pizza with me back at my hotel.
The Pepperoni Pizza tasted fine, but I was more into how her Filipina Cherry would taste. Since she was as shy as she was I decided to do the Photo approach. She agreed to pose for me with a smile. True, these girls really love to feel beautiful and exposed. From that moment on it was game on. She undressed herself while I took pictures and filmed her and soon she was eating my cock like she was cock-starved.
Awesome fuck this Filipina Spinner and as always, Filipina Cherry tasted good. Her cute little tiny tits as well, yummy!

Data Security Standards
The continuing evolution of computer systems has given rise to a predominantly, technologically driven work environment. The transition from physical, paper-based procedures to online processes has modified the way in which we as a society, approach the issue of data security – including secure file transfer.
Organisations that process and store what would be classed as 'Personal Information' (e.g. financial status, race, sexual orientation, health etc.) are now subject to stringent governmental controls, legislative laws and standards. If these companies choose not comply with applicable laws, not only will they have to tackle loss of customer trust when data is leaked, severe financial penalties will be incurred.
Please select the relevant title to find out more regarding some of the most high profile security standards enforced in the US and UK.

Unranked Texas upsets No. 23 Tar Heels
Sheldon McClellan scored 18 points and struggling Texas upset No. 23 North Carolina 85-67 on Wednesday night.
Julien Lewis added 16 points for the Longhorns (7-4), who are off to their worst start since coach Rick Barnes' first season in 1999 while playing without star guard Myck Kabongo. The NCAA is investigating the sophomore's relationship with an agent and the Longhorns have given no indication when or if he'll return.
Reggie Bullock led the Tar Heels (8-3) with 18 points and 13 rebounds. It was the first loss for North Carolina since being clobbered by then-No. 1 Indiana on Nov. 27, and this was mostly another humiliation after trailing by as many as 19 points.
North Carolina cut the deficit to four points in the second half before Texas sealed the badly needed victory.
Barnes knew that a roster of 10 sophomores and freshmen could make for some growing pains. Texas has been used to fast starts for most of the last decade, but the first 10 games felt more like a nosedive at times than some bumps in the roads.
It began with the school announcing that Kabongo, who started 34 games last season, wouldn't join the team immediately. The NCAA has raised questions about Kabongo's relationship with Rich Paul, the agent of LeBron James of the Miami Heat.
The low point was an embarrassing defeat to Division II Chaminade, followed a few weeks later by a 23-point loss to Georgetown.
Beating a ranked team was a chance at finally getting some traction, and the Longhorns may have found some with just two games left before the start of their Big 12 schedule. They will need it: up next is No. 20 Michigan State on Saturday.
James McAdoo had 14 points and joined Bullock as the only Tar Heels in double figures. North Carolina shot a season-low 31.3 percent from the field and turned the ball over 18 times.
Texas attempted 46 shots in the first half. North Carolina had only 30.
"It was an ugly night for us to say the least," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said.
Jonathan Holmes scored 15 points and Ioannis Papapetrou added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Longhorns.
North Carolina made just 3 of 19 3-point attempts. P.J. Hairston, the Tar Heels' third-leading scorer, shot just 2 of 12 from the field.

Be Alert. Just Drive. Save Lives.
HUNTINGTON -- Local students are taking a stand for distracted-driving prevention.
Cabell County students planned and starred in a 30-second commercial shoot on Thursday for their Be Alert. Just Drive. Save Lives. campaign.
The campaign focuses on youth empowerment and positive leadership skills while communicating the distracted-driving prevention message, according to a release from United Way of the River Cities. The campaign will allow students to develop awareness of opportunities for leadership and prevention in the community.
The students worked with the Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership, Trifecta Productions, the City of Huntington and other partners to make their video storyboards a reality.
About 140 middle and high school students brainstormed distracted-driving project ideas at the Cabell County Teen Summit in March 2014. After the summit, CCSAPP staff, coalition members and students met to develop project ideas. The students created a call to action and other campaign-related materials.
The campaign will launch at the Huntington High vs. Cabell Midland football game on Sept. 19. The commercial spot will air on local television stations during the month of October, which is also National Substance Abuse Prevention Month.

Video:How to Make a Floral Baby Shower Centerpiecewith Kimberly Van Diepen
Learn how to make a floral baby shower centerpiece by following these easy instructions. Here, see step-by-step directions for making a pretty floral baby shower centerpiece.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make a Floral Baby Shower Centerpiece
Hi! My name is Kimberly Van Diepen, I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and today I am going to show you how to make this beautiful floral centerpiece for a baby shower. So let's get started.
Instructions for Making a Floral Baby Shower Centerpiece
The first thing we are going to do is put the floral pieces into the jar and then just make them pretty. All I am going to take is some white grosgrain ribbon and wrap it around the tin, we are going to tie this in a knot. Now that we have our bow already made, I just want to trim up the ends with some ribbon scissors. So I am just going to make a V, it's time to get stamping. So I am going to use this beautiful floral stamp, and the first thing that we want to do is we are going to take some craft ink.
Basics for Making a Floral Baby Shower Centerpiece
Now, craft ink is a pigment ink so it's very wet. So we are going to ink this stamp up really good and then we are going to stamp right directly to our paper. Now, because the ink is wet, we need to take our Clear Embossing Powder and just dump it right over that wet ink. You are going to take your heat tool and you are just going to heat up that embossing powder. You'll notice that your image is nice and bossed when you see clear and you have no dry powder left. We are going to color our image using a blender pan and some inks. In order to get the image water colored, if you take your ink and click, click, you will get some ink right at the top of your stamp pad. So the first thing we are going to do is color the leaves.
Next Steps for Making a Floral Baby Shower Centerpiece
Now, once your image is complete, you will have a beautiful floral image like this. Now, the next step is we want to create a tag. So I am actually going to rip some of this on either side. Now, I am going to take my SNAIL Adhesive, I am going to put it on the back, and I am going to adhere it directly to my Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, just like this. Now, we are going to take the Crop-A-Dile and we are going to use the large hole, and we are going to punch a hole right at the top. And we are going to use a large eyelet, push it through that hole, and once again, we are going to use the Crop-A-Dile, come in, and squeeze to set that eyelet.We are going to take a piece of pattern paper and I just want to make a quick banner. In order to make the banner I am going to cut a V using my scissors on either side.
Now, we are just going to put some adhesive on the back and we are going to adhere this right down at the bottom. Now, one of the next things I did was I went head and die cut some letters; B, A, B, Y, and we are going to attach these letters right at the bottom of the tag.The last thing you are going to do is take some linen thread and thread it through your eyelet, and then you are just going to wrap that around your floral centerpiece. Just take your scissors, trim off your ends, and get it to hang. And that's how you make this beautiful floral centerpiece for a baby shower.

University administrators who have experimented with four-year fixed tuition at their colleges testified Wednesday on the pros and cons of a statewide implementation.
The House Higher Education Committee heard testimony on a rewrite of a bill by Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, that would require universities to offer a guaranteed tuition option for undergraduates with the goal of providing parents and students some certainty that prices will not go up once they are enrolled. It would apply to both first-time freshmen and transfer students.
Branch said locking in tuition rates would be an incentive for students to graduate in four years. The other option would be a year-to-year rate.
But Diana Natalicio, president of the University of Texas – El Paso, said the plan isn't one sized fits all and hasn't been too successful at her university.

August 1, 2015
KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) - Authorities investigating the murders of a Texas prosecutor and his wife believe a former county official sent a threatening email to law enforcement officers one day after the killings.
The Kaufman County sheriff released a probable cause affidavit Monday that shows authorities traced the threat to the personal computer of former Justice of the Peace Eric Lyle Williams. The prosecutor's office handled a theft case against Williams that resulted in him losing his job.
Authorities say the email implied that if authorities didn't respond to various demands, there'd be another attack.
Williams is being held on $3 million bond on a charge of making a terroristic threat.
A law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity says at least 20 weapons found in Williams' storage locker are being tested.

It would be warmer weather the day I was planning our meals. So ready for lighter fare, I'd plan a summer salad. On the day I served it, the wind would howl and the flurries fly! Well, I'm right back at it again. As I planned my meals last week, the furnace was roaring.
This soup is both nutritious and delicious. It goes together so quickly, and is a nice change from traditional chili. We really enjoy black beans and all the goodies packed in this soup. It's a favorite from my darling Mom, so it's comforting too, even when it's 85 degrees out!
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and serve with a fresh tossed salad and a few tortilla chips. As always, serve with love and enjoy!
- 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 package taco seasoning mix
- 1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (16 oz.) can tomato sauce
- 2 (15 oz.) cans black beans
- 2 (15 oz.) cans whole kernel corn
- 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
- 1 can jumbo pitted olives
- shredded cheddar cheese
- sour cream
Great to have you here, Fall is coming!

The Neighborhood Leadership Development Program is a project-focused program offered through Strengthening Neighborhoods that supports grassroots leaders. Participants will develop their own personal leadership skills such as conflict management, meeting facilitation, project planning, and working with power holders while developing an actual project for engaging and strengthening their community. Training sessions are offered in both English and spanish.
The Strengthening Neighborhoods Program has conducted the Neighborhood Leadership Development Program for several years. In 2010, staff began implementing new interactions of the training: custom-fit for a single school (Crawford Elementary in Original Aurora), truncated for a specific audience (neighborhood associations in Commerce City with Commerce City Community Enterprise), and now seeks grantees that may be interested in a year-long or multi-year training supporting their social-change campaigns.

When it comes to LED flashlights, the Coast HP21 is top of the line. This high-performance LED flashlight offers ultimate brightness and functionality; its unparalleled performance is the result of our more than 90 years of experience with lighting technology and is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Don't get us wrong; we're not trying to sell you this LED flashlight. We're offering to give it to you for free.
Each month, you can sign up for our drawing for a free HP21 flashlight. Not sure why you should bother? Here's a look at what makes the HP21 stand out among LED flashlights:
Brightness. Clocking in at a whopping 1,317 lumens, the HP21 is the brightest of the bright. In order to provide the right amount of light for any task, it has three available brightness modes: high, low and strobe. To give you an idea of this LED flashlight's power, it produces 207 lumens on its lowest setting – that's more than light than most LED flashlights produce on their highest settings.
Beam distance. The HP21 LED flashlight also has a penetrating long-distance beam, which ranges from 337 feet on the low setting to 852 feet at full power. That means this torch has a powerful ability to light up far-away objects.
Focus control and beam consistency. With our unique Speed Focus Control system, this flashlight can easily switch between a diffuse flood beam for area lighting and a focused spot beam, with none of the dark rings most focusing LED flashlights have. That's because the HP21 makes use of our proprietary Pure Beam Focusing Optic System, which produces a superior beam consistency across the board.
Durability. The HP21 LED flashlight is encased in heavy-duty aluminum, which holds up well under vigorous daily use.
In short, the HP21 represents the pinnacle of high-performance LED flashlight technology. You know you want one. Sign up here for our monthly drawing.

Deadmans Hill, Clophill
The ruined church of St Mary's and the churchyard was the scene of a particularly grisly black magic ritual during the 1960's. The sixties were a time of occult revival in many parts of the country and some groups seem to have been interested in the more diabolical side of magic. Read More »

A hill called Galley Hill on the outskirts of Luton was in former times the site of a gallows, where public executions would have taken place. Read More »
Marston Mortaine
The 14th century St Mary's church is unusual because it has a separate tower away from the main church. The tower was probably a means of refuge in Saxon times, either from flood or from attack. Read More »
Five black marks on the front porch of the church are said to have been left by the devil, who attacked the church trying to get Sir Roland Alstons. Sir Roland is said to have sold his immortal soul to the Devil and was seeking sanctuary when the time to hand it over had arrived.
The ghost of Sir Roland is said to appear at the church riding a black mount every 100 years. Read More »

Chez Knitluck, we're saying goodbye to summer. But the season is not the only thing changing. I'm entering my final weeks as an employed person. I'm still on the lookout for a job, but it's tough out there. This means there's a lot of work to do. Projects at work to finish, resumes to send out. It also means I won't be posting as vigilantly as normally, at least not until the first week of October. I'll still be posting, but there might be more intervals between posts.
That said, I'm really enjoying working on this website and adding "enhancements" as they say in Jane Austen novels. Stay tuned.
All that aside, I'm doing a lot of knitting around here:
Teaching myself how to knit a toe-up sock:
Knitting an Aston Hat (pdf) and trying to spin, with special emphasis on the trying. I've been spinning the fibers that Lamina the Great sent me last year. I really need to go through her tutorial again!
Oh, see those two balls of blue tweed? They're for the winner of the final round of the logo contest. You guys should know that I chose H!
I'm Angela.
Mom. Wife. Crafter. Succulent Gardener. Co-op Preschool Parent. Housing Activist.
What's going on now?
Became a housing activist. Knitting at city council meetings is much more fun than I imagined.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
European decor and traditional, attentive service in a tony 250-room building in Manhattan's mostly residential Upper West Side.
Fronting the ornate red-stone building that towers over its immediate neighbors in Manhattan's Upper West Side, the 250-room Lucerne's entrance is often manned by two alert doormen and has an aura of quiet power. Inside, the hotel feels warm and secure, with its hibiscus flowers, red and gold Oriental-looking patterns, and quiet '80s pop songs like "Reminiscing" by Little River Band and Patti LaBelle's "On My Own," and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin, from the "Top Gun" soundtrack.
The Lucerne takes its name from an alpine city in Switzerland -- though there isn't much of a Swiss vibe at the hotel, and the hotel is operated by the Empire Hotel Group, which manages a series of other mid-range New York hotels. The name speaks, vaguely, to a more traditional, European aesthetic, exemplified by the tapestries flanking the entrance and the lobby's intricately patterned upholstery.
More than 30 blocks from Times Square, the Lucerne trades midtown chaos for a quieter atmosphere, and proximity to Central Park and great family museums. But there are fewer subway lines on the Upper West Side than there are in Midtown West.
The corner of West 79th Street and Amsterdam is at the slow-beating heart of the Upper West Side, an area comprised mostly of apartment buildings that could, with their doormen and front desks, be confused for luxury hotels. But excellent restaurants like Ouest are still close by, and there's still a fair smattering of night life, with popular local bars close by like Dive 75 and the Boat Basin, which features an enormous stone patio overlooking the Hudson river.
Plus, several of New York's vaunted museums are immediately accessible. The American Museum of Natural History is one block east, and the Children's Museum of Manhattan sits four blocks north of the Lucerne. A 20-minute walk through Central Park lands visitors at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Subway access around the city is more limited here than in Midtown West over 30 blocks south. There's only a 1-line subway station at the end of the block on Broadway, and the B and C trains run at 81st Street and Columbus, about a 10-minute walk away.
The Lucerne has valet parking and self-parking for daily fees.
Traditional but well-maintained furnishings and gold-hued walls complement the pleasant view.
Rooms at the Lucerne take a traditional approach to opulence -- carved wood desks, heavy Persian-patterned drapes held open by tasseled ropes, and lightly gold-inflected wallpaper that creates a warm, welcoming mood. The resulting old-world, neoclassical vibe contrasts with that of rooms in more modern UWS hotels like On the Ave and Hotel Beacon. All rooms were renovated in April 2009.
A well-maintained gym, a library-like business center, and an on-site spa -- the three luxury-hotel essentials.
The safe Upper West Side comes with great museums and Central Park in close walking distance. Cribs and babysitting services also available.
The standard rooms are smaller here than at most New York hotels, and are really only designed for two people who can share a bed. But there are several double rooms available, and the Deluxe rooms offer considerably more space. The rooms are generally insulated from noise from other guests or street traffic. The hotel also provides cribs upon request, and babysitting services are available through the concierge.
As New York hotels go, the Lucerne is slightly more family-friendly -- in large part because of its Upper West Side location. New York's most family-friendly museums, like the the Museum of Natural History and the Children's Museum of Manhattan are just a short walk away.
Just short of spotless.
In the room, the carpets, desk, and other furnishings were free of spots, stains, and dust. The bathroom was near-spotless, save for a barely noticeable rust stain on the tub. The lobby, hallways, fitness center, and business center are all maintained at a very high standard of cleanliness.
Popular among Upper West Side professionals, the on-site restaurant, Nice Matin, serves Belgian beer and hearty French fare, and is available for room service 24 hours a day.
Far from the Times Square crowds, on the relaxed, upscale Upper West Side, the 250-room Lucerne offers small but classically styled, comfortable rooms (all renovated in 2009), prompt, dedicated service, and proximity to great kid-friendly attractions like the Museum of Natural History and Central Park.

A Liberal Education
The ideological orientation of academia to the political left is an old story. Certainly such ideological conformity was well established back in my halcyon undergraduate and law school days at the University of Illinois, 1975-1982. Outside of my ROTC courses, I was guaranteed to be the most outspoken conservative in any class I attended. In some classes of course, geography for example, politics never came up, but when political issues arose they would almost always be presented with a left of center, sometimes far left of center, viewpoint. With the same shy, retiring nature that is always on full display on this blog, I always felt compelled to respond, which included, on one memorable occasion, interrupting a class room political rant by one of my education professors at the five minute mark with the comment: "That is garbage sir! Sheer garbage!" The look on the shocked faces of my classmates will remain a cherished memory until my dying day! Continue reading
Academia and Lifestyle Bias
The other week Megan McArdle wrote a post about political bias in academia, inspired by this anecdote about psychologist Jonathan Haidt:
He polled his audience at the San Antonio Convention Center, starting by asking how many considered themselves politically liberal. A sea of hands appeared, and Dr. Haidt estimated that liberals made up 80 percent of the 1,000 psychologists in the ballroom. When he asked for centrists and libertarians, he spotted fewer than three dozen hands. And then, when he asked for conservatives, he counted a grand total of three.
"This is a statistically impossible lack of diversity," Dr. Haidt concluded, noting polls showing that 40 percent of Americans are conservative and 20 percent are liberal.
This post generated a record number of comments, many of them explaining reasons why this disproportion among academics was the result of something other than academia being a hostile environment for conservatives, which McArdle summarizes in a followup post as follows: Continue reading

Editorial: Celebrating Christmas together
As Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on Tuesday with millions around the world, we pause today and encourage remembrance of why the day is celebrated.
Our individual worlds are hectic. We have feelings for this time year based on our lives, whether it is the impact of family, friends or events.
We shudder at the commercialized aspect of it all, but we find it hard to refrain from jumping in and taking advantage in an effort to show our love for someone through a gift.
Lights are twinkling in many places, and most of us see something other than the bright light to the world that comes when thinking of Christ's birth.
As the Advent season closes and the 12 days of Christmastide begin in the Christian liturgical calendar, we encourage all to let go of issues that divide, to unite in spirit, and to celebrate a most special time as told to us through the gospel according to St. Luke, 2:1-18 (King James version).
"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.'
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, 'Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.'
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds."

Home Prices Rose Modestly In Second Quarter, But Still Below Year Ago
By Mark Memmott
One widely watched measure of U.S. home prices rose 3.6 percent in the second quarter from first-quarter 2011.
But the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index was still down 5.9 percent from second-quarter 2010.
As The Associated Press says, the report signals that "spring buying pushed home prices up for a third straight month in most major U.S. cities in June. But the housing market remains shaky, and further price declines are expected this year."
One interesting note: In June, prices didn't decline in any of the 20 major metropolitan areas where S&P/Case-Shiller collects data. They were flat in Portland, Ore., and up just 0.1 percent in Las Vegas. The biggest increases were 3.2 percent gains in Chicago and Minneapolis.

Kevin Spacey to Star in Casino JackWednesday, May 13th, 2009
Kevin Spacey has signed on to play disgraced US political lobbyist Jack Abramoff in Casino Jack, based on the true story of a man who went from hanging at the White House to chilling in the Big House.
For those of us on this side of the Atlantic who have (at most) the vaguest idea who Abramoff is, he was a hugely successful Washington lobbyist who was convicted in 2006 on corruption, briberty and fraud in his dealing with several Indian casino groups, who he was said to have defrauded of tens of millions of dollars. He was also connected to the Bush administration, with some of its officials caught up in his trial.
The film, originally called Bagman, is set to be directed by George Hickenlooper, who previously directed Factory Girl and Dogtown. It's based on a screenplay by Norman Snider (Dead Ringers). The film shoots in Toronto this month; while we're waiting for the results, you can see Kevin Spacey in Shrink, The Men Who Stare At Goats with George Clooney and father-daughter comedy Father of Invention.

With two of the finest cultures, I possibly can't go wrong here. Do any of you have a nice recipe for a garlic dip/dressing? I am planning on using it on pizza, I've been stuck with using caesar dressing and its just getting too weird.
I love it!!!! I will attempt to make this tonight, I really need to get cooking instead of watching TV, DH is almost seethrough now! Thanks! I will let you know how your pizza dressing tastes on your pizza recipe!
here is another thought. You can use AILLOLI
2 garlic cloves (from your necklace)
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. dijon mustard
1 cup olive oil
4 tsp. white wine vinegar
cream together (in blender) garlic, yolks, salt, pepper & mustard
while the machine is running add the oil SLOWLY in a steady SLOW stream. add the vinegar...
this will give you the consistency of a mayo & tastes great on anything. even your bizarre pizza:D
Well the Scandiavian Italians have no problem making this! We do it all the time, garlic dressing on pizza, but it's not creamy. What can I mix the garlic with so it's more runny? Elise how do you make tzaziki, perhaps I can mix the two ideas, Dyns and tzaziki base? Am I grossing you all out? :D
HAHAHA you kill me! that's what she gets for making us "run"!!
...I would suggest you soak the roasted garlic in a little bit of olive oil, for about ,hmmm, 15 min. and the spread it on top!! Or if you want the easy way, just take a bite of the ordinary pizza, and then take a nibble of garlic from the necklace you wear around your neck!!!
I'm glad you are enjoying the recipe! Hope thinking of me when you eat it isn't causing you indigestion:D
On pizza? Hmm...I'm stumped:( the only thing I can come up with is roasting some garlic heads & spreading the roasted garlic pulp on the pizza...what else do you plan to put on it? Does it have to be creamy? If you are trying to avoid tomatoe sauce you can drizzle olive oil over it with the roasted garlic & sprinkle some rosemary on it too, with sea salt & pepper...sorry not much help.

In it, Charles, a poet, escapes the world by living in a department store where he falls in love with Ella, one of the window mannequins. Songs include "Take Me to the World", "If You Can Find Me I'm Here", "I Remember" and "When". Ian Marshall Fisher's semi-staged production continues on subsequent Sundays, 10, 17 and 24 July.
