Digging a Diplomatic Grave in the Iran Nuclear Talks
Posted By John Glaser On June 4, 2012 @ 12:27 pm In News | Comments Disabled
At this point in the international negotiations with Iran, people seem to be reading into it whatever is beneficial for their own arguments. They're either bound for resolution in the third round in Moscow later this month, or they're doomed to failure because, hey, you can't trust those Persians.
As James Rubin, former assistant secretary of state during the Bill Clinton administration, just mentioned in his latest scrawl pining for war in Syria [1], "the current round of negotiations with the world's major powers will not fundamentally change Iran's nuclear program." On the other hand, Laura Rosen today reported [2] that IAEA chief Yukiya Amano announced another meeting with Iranian negotiators to take place just ten days before the Moscow talks. Iranian officials have reiterated their willingness to make concessions, namely opening up the Parchin military site to inspections and halting 20 percent uranium enrichment.
One thing is for sure, if the U.S. and its western allies aren't interested in coming to an actual agreement, self-fulfilling prophecy will once again prove an accessible phenomenon.
The fact that Iran has been negotiating separately and in parallel with the IAEA is indicative. Washington's needless intimidation and aggressiveness quite simply makes the Iranians not want to make concessions when talking with the P5+1. The IAEA is not the one waging economic warfare and threatening to bomb Iran to bits, so Tehran sees the UN watchdog as a more viable and reasonable negotiator.
As Reza Nasri over at PBS Frontline's Tehran Bureau put it today [3], "world powers are again poised to 'solve' an international crisis through an 'agreement' that is essentially predicated on intimidation, illegal threats of military action, unilateral 'crippling' sanctions, sabotage, and extrajudicial killings of Iran's brightest minds." In other words, ensuring a failure of talks.
Constant threats [4] of military action, paired with harsh economic sanctions [5], are admittedly [6] meant to coerce Iran into concluding an agreement with the P5+1 on its nuclear program. Covert operations, such as the assassination of top Iranian scientists and the spate of massive cyberattacks [7]that have targeted the country's civilian energy sector, also seem to be part of a broader policy whose aim is to diminish Iran's position at the negotiation table.
Mind you, taking these postures is illegal under international law (not that this matters to Washington):
Indeed, from the lens of modern international law, an agreement that is obtained through coercion is generally considered invalid. Article 52 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties — which codifies some of the most fundamental bedrocks of the laws among nations — is very clear on the subject: It specifically renders "void any treaty which has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations."
After the failed talks in 2009 and 2010, wherein Obama ended up mysteriously rejecting the very deal he demanded the Iranians accept, as Stephen Walt wrote last week [8], the Iranian leadership "has good grounds for viewing Obama as inherently untrustworthy."
Still, the Iranians have all but given in. They just haven't laid prostrate in the face of Western bullying. Rosen [2]:
For the upcoming P5+1/Iran talks in "Moscow, an agreement on 'zero stockpile of 20 % enriched uranium would be the best achievement," Mousavian proposed.
Under such a plan, he explained, the P5+1 and Iran would set up a joint committee to determine how much 20% enriched uranium Iran needs for medical purposes, and the rest of its 20% stockpile would be exported or converted to 3.5%.
He also proposed that the IAEA define the maximum amount of transparency it would like from Iran. "If Iran accepts, to sign the additional protocol and give the IAEA access beyond that demanded in the additional protocol, then the [western powers] should be ready" to defer new European and American sanctions set to go into effect next month targeting transactions with Iran's Central Bank and oil exports.
There you have it. The agreement is there. No more 20 percent enrichment, just don't impose further economic sanctions. Whether Washington will accept this peaceful resolution in Moscow remains to be seen. But so far, the Obama administration's policy has been schizophrenic [9]. And when it comes down to it, the U.S. is primarily concerned with Iran's nuclear know-how [10] – not out of concerns of nuclear proliferation – but because it closes "avenues for regime change. [11]" That mentality will mean the long-term failure of any resolution. And any peace.

An old boathouse in a sheltered cove in Tiburon, California, survived a landslide in 1982, a year when severe rainstorms caused a record 18,000 Bay Area mudslides that killed 15 people—including the owner of this 8.5-acre garden—and caused $100 million in damages. Everything looks so peaceful now:
Photographs by Marla Aufmuth for Gardenista except where noted.
Above: The shingled boathouse at the edge of the waterfront property was not in the path of the 1982 mudslide, which came from Paradise Drive above the property.
Above: The boathouse has six capstans and views of Angel Island. Beginning in 1997, Sausalito-based garden designer Paul Leffingwell began creating a new design for the property.
Above: Mexican salvia, which can stand up to ocean breezes and salt air, thrives at the waterfront.
The privately owned property was open for tours during a recent convention of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. For another garden on the tour, see "Rescuing a 100-Year-Old Garden."

Above: Under the direction of Mr. Leffingwell, a full-time arborist spent two years pruning more than 250 oak trees and shrubs on the property. "The whole concept is to create gardens within the natural landscape," says Mr. Leffingwell. "The beautiful twisted oaks, north facing, are reaching for the light."

Telescope Peak. We did that hike on a full moon night. Awesome view.
I bet it would be. Full moon will be while in the Grand Canyon so I may go for a night hike.
"9 Tufa on South shore Mono Lake (if sunrise). Fissures on North shore Mono Lake.Bodie ghost town. Travertine hot spring"When we took the kids to the fissures in Black Point on the north side of Mono Lake, it was the afternoon and it was HOT! While sunrise at the tufa columns would be cool, I'd find out when Bodie opens, be there then, and go to Black Point BEFORE Bodie. Then pass through Lee Vining for the visitor's center, lunch, an ice cream, and then head to the Tufa. I spend less time at the Tufa than at Bodie or hiking to the fissures, so I'd the longer activities earlier in the day.I've scrambled for lodging in that area when I didn't plan ahead. Trips went much better when I had reservations for the motel nights. Inquire if they have washer/dryer for guest use (self-serve and you pay like at a laundromat) - that lets you pack lighter and smell better."Full moon will be while in the Grand Canyon so I may go for a night hike."I did a full-moon hike down the North Kaibab trail from the North Rim one summer, years ago. The temps were great, the lack of sunburn was great, and I didn't need a headlamp for most all of it. The was plenty of reflected light in the shadows and I remember coming around a corner out of the shadows and into the full moonlight and instinctive shielding my eyes (from the bright ground!) and then mentally chiding myself that full moonlight on the trail is about 1/100,000th of what full sunlight is. It still sticks in my mind as an example of just how versatile human eyes are.
I'm planning to hit those sites in order listed (S to N) starting at sunrise as we head in the general direction of I-80 home.I haven't figured out what I'll do for sleeping yet:1. before we start the JMT as the bus gets to Mammoth at 9 PM so not much time to find somewhere to camp for the night. I'll see if they have a hostel nearby or inexpensive motel.2. When we head back to Mono Lake after we're done. Looks like several campgrounds as you come down 120 to Lee Vining. I assume we'll have found a place in Yosemite Valley to shower.Last summer we had 1 shower and never washed our clothes in the 20 days. :) We did normally change out of our set of hiking clothes into the set of street clothes we took when we were in the car or in public.
when you take the YART bus back to Mammoth, the first stop (in Mammoth) is right next to a McDonalds (on the left), bus gets there 8:30-9:00.Right across the street are two campgrounds : Old Shady Rest and New Shady rest.I have stayed there, they are adequate. I think they are national forest campgrounds. you can make reservations (recommended) or get a walkin if you are lucky. try hard to stay at one of these.campgroundsnext morning walk out to main road (Main St or 203), turn right and walk up hill for 1 or 1.5 miles to the new fancy shopping complex at the intersection of Minaret Rd (203) and Lake Mary Rd.at the back of this complex you can catch a free bus up to Mammoth ski area to catch the Fee bus down in to Reds Meadow.the free bus is actually run by the ski area for those who are downhill mtn biking on the slopes. hikers are allowed to use it for free.The fee bus is $7-8 each and not run by Mammoth ski area, although you catch it there.I believe the first stop this bus makes is Agnew Meadows (your stop).Mammoth mapnote : there is also another free bus service in town run by the town but it does not start service till 9:00am so skip it.I think the first pickup of the free biker bus is 6:00 or 6:30.I think the first run of the fee bus is 7:00 or 7:30.you should check on this, I'll look too, used them last summer for a hike on the JMT.also, the Ranger office is very near the McDonalds and campground entrance but will be closed by the time the bus drops you off.p.s.if any of this is not clear just ask me for more details.

I assume we'll have found a place in Yosemite Valley to shower.If you're coming off the JMT in Happy Isles, skip the bus (it'll be crowded and takes the long way around the loop. Just hike west toward Curry Village 1 mile away. There are several shower houses there in among the tent cabins. Some have a combo-lock on the door but at least one (looks more like a bathroom than a shower house, but has two showers in it), is open all the time.
Great info, Art!I think the other David had mentioned reserving a cabin at CV when we were done - but I can't justify $136 + tax to stay in a tent. :P Looks like I'll try to reserve a spot in Lower or Upper Pines for that night.
I'd skip the multiple back and forths to Yosemite. Just hike the JMT from Mammoth to Yosemite and take the bus back.You'll need a Half Dome pass and they may not be able to give it to you in Mammoth. Here is a link to the Half Dome permit details for backpackers http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/hdwildpermits.htm .Contact them, maybe they will let you pick up a Half Dome pass in the Wilderness Center in Tuolomne as you pass through there.Tuolomne Meadows has a backpackers campground you can stay at as you pass through, $5 per person per night. Early July there will be PCT thru hikers, fellow JMTers, Bay Area folks, and even a few UL backpackers in this campground.There is a store in Tuolomne to buy resupply items as well as beer and ice- cream, a grill for a juicy hamburger and a post-office in case you prefer to mail a resupply.The backpackers campground in Yosemite Valley is $5 per person, you can use it one night before and one night after your trip with a wilderness permit, no reservations needed or taken.There is a pool and showers in Curry Village, $5 per person, use of towels included. Same at Yosemite Lodge I believe.Free shuttle bus runs frequently in a loop to trail heads, store, etc, no need for a car in Yosemite Valley.There is a bus ($20 fee?) up to Glacier Point. Hike back down or take the bus back.
Since we're coming from outside the Park, a HD permit isn't required even with their new restrictions for 2013. I verified that with their wilderness office a few days ago. My Inyo permit will allow us to climb it.Nice to know about the BP camp in the valley. Would save a little from having to make a reservation in Upper Pines for the night. I see it's behind North Pines Campground (and across the footbridge). Where is the closest designated parking area for it?
Edited by topshot on 01/13/2013 11:13:39 MST.
I think Curry Village parking is the closest major parking lot to BP camping.there is some parking behind the Ahwanee Hotel that is a bit closer, but Curry Village is much better for when you come off the JMT.
Ah, but a tent in CV isn't just a tent. There's Hanta Virus, too. At least in Cabin 922 where we stayed and earlier occupants stayed and died (later of Hanta Virus). They told us, but only after it hit the media that a second round of illnesses was happening.Also, if you're late by a day (it happens), your cabin and $136 will be gone.Edited to add: not shown on many maps, there is a BPing parking lot between Curry Village and Happy Isles that (at least early morning) is far easier to find a space in than at CV. It's a 1/2 mile from each.
Edited by DavidinKenai on 01/13/2013 14:14:40 MST.
The backpacker campgrounds in Yosemite have no designated parking, instead you leave your car at the trail head. In Yosemite Valley the only trail head parking lot is between Curry Village and Happy Isles, about 3/4 mile from the backpackers campground. If you plan to leave your car in this parking lot for several days check in with the wilderness center about it, they may give you a stub to put on your dash board.
2 more questions I thought of: 1. Is there an easy place to recharge camera batteries for a couple hours in Curry Village (or other nearby place)? Wouldn't surprise me if all 4 I'll have are kaput in 5 days. I might try to charge one in TM also to make sure I don't run out so where might I go there for a couple hours?2. Do they really have enough bear lockers at Happy Isles TH parking lot that I can stash our excess food for the 5 days we're gone (labeled with name and out date I'd guess)? By the time we hit the JMT we'd have a few days food remaining so it will all fit in an OpSak. I could likely even double bag the OpSaks. Any problems with theft or should I just leave it in the trunk against policy?
don't leave food in your car.bears really do break in to cars.there are quite a few bear boxes, but quite a few people use them.as long as you don't have a giant ice chest you should be able to find space.as always, don't leave valuables. never had food taken, but ... there is a grocery store.
No good answer for the recharging question. I'm sure it is becoming quite the issue at campgrounds all over, as most of us now have electronic devices that need recharging, yet camp sites are blessed free of electricity.Don't under any circumstances leave food in your car in Yosemite or in fact anywhere in the Sierra.The bear boxes at the TH parking lot will probably fit your food. The reason I say probably rather than certainly has to do with the hanta virus that sickened and killed several Yosemite visitors this past summer that David referred to further up this thread. Hanta virus is spread by mice and mice can get in to the current bear boxes. In the short term Yosemite recommends that you use mouse proof containers inside the bear boxes, this means hard plastic containers, ice cheasts, coolers and the like, all of which will fill up the bear lockers. The long term solution I suspect will involve new mouse proof bear lockers, but who knows when that will happen.Arts solution of buying food in the store seems like a good one. You'll be ready for some fresh food after a few days of backpacking.
Good to know about the mice! I'll use my Outsak though that will make it more attractive to 2-legged critters. May take a black trashbag to wrap it in, too. Mice can chew through any plastic container - just slows them down a while.We will eat a real dinner the day we come out (someone had suggested pizza), but I suspect the store prices for goodies to be pretty high compared to going to a normal market. Though it's also true we wouldn't need a whole lot to finish the last couple days of dayhiking.I have no choice but to leave some valuables in the trunk. My laptop isn't exactly lightweight. :P
cars rarely get broken in to by humans.any eatery in The Valley will be very crowded, especially the pizza place.there is a somewhat ok cafeteria right around the corner.oh, did I mention the Tuolumne Grill (closes at 5pm) just outside Tuolumne campground ? pretty tasty burgers and shakes, especially when coming off the trail.and down at the base of the road up to Tuolumne, the Lee Vining area, a classic must eat at place ... The Mobile Gas Station restaurant. atmosphere very casual, food one step below gourmet, and reasonable, the owner is a real chef.
"and down at the base of the road up to Tuolumne, the Lee Vining area, a classic must eat at place ... The Mobile Gas Station restaurant. atmosphere very casual, food one step below gourmet, and reasonable, the owner is a real chef."Mmmmmm hmmmmm! A big +1.!!
Huh- I just recommended this on another thread, but... Just puttering around the Ken Patrick and rim trails and around the Walhalla Plateau is nice, but if you're looking for dayhikes on the GRCA north rim you could do Nankoweap. There's even a massively cool campsite part-way down at Marion Point if you can do an overnighter (don't rely on the seep near there, though- bring lots of water). It's still relatively high, so the temperatures aren't so extreme. It is very exposed though- compared to North Kaibab and the other corridor trails it is positively terrifying- but your son may like that. And with a kid I'd stick to just an out-and-back to Marion Point, because things get really scary just past there.See the first day of my trip report:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=62675You don't have to use the lower trailhead that we did- there is another on the north rim proper. Where the two trailhead trails meet it can be hard to spot the trail heading down into the canyon- just remember, it switchbacks over the cliff... :)
Edited by acrosome on 01/15/2013 08:38:45 MST.
In addition to Angel's Landing Hidden Canyon would make a good day. Overall that looks like an awesome plan. I'm not sure how much the CV tent cabins were 6 years ago, but my recollection is closer to 37 than 137 dollars. Yosemite doesn't really count as a national park anymore. Private vehicles (and the Curry Co.) should have been banned from the valley decades ago.

MIDDLESBORO, Ky. (WYMT) - As people across the country send their support to the city of Boston, a group of kids in southern Kentucky are helping out, too.
But they are not just raising money. They are also remembering one of the victims of Monday's bombings.
The group 52 Weeks of Giving raised more than $500 at a bake sale Thursday at the Food City in Middlesboro.
The money will be donated to the Boston Public Library to buy books in memory of Martin Richard, eight, the youngest victim of Monday's attacks.
"Some of us are his age," bake sale participant Megan Wilson said. "And it's just sad to think that he was an innocent person and got killed just because someone wanted to do that."
Cindy Wyatt, the group's co-founder, said, "Most of the time before they even know what we're doing they're like, 'Are we going to do something to help them? Are we doing something for Boston?' And it's just opened their eyes. They're just great kids."
A television crew from a national media outlet was on hand to film a story on the kids.
"It feels right and good to help other people when they're in need," bake sale participant Sadie Bates said.
"Kids are amazing," Wyatt said. "And if you give them an opportunity they're gonna change the world, one little act at a time."

"There is a great value in citizen legislators who self-limit themselves," said James Renwick Manship, who wore a full Revolutionary War outfit. "George Washington served two terms."
Typical context-less tea-smoker prattle. Washington was old, tired, and sick. He lived another 2 years after leaving office. If you want someone to leave office, vote them out: isn't that what "power to the people" is?
Senator Hatch, just keep railing against government spending but be sure to offer zero specifics. That should win over the tea party.
Cut spending and taxes and privatize everything! I haven't thought any of this through and have absolutely no strategic plans to get it done but I like shouting and emotive rhetoric!
So many typos.... T.T
Why not reallocate money from the Environmental Protection Agency budget to create jobs, improve the environment and cut our oil dependency? Or would this be too simple for congress to grasp? Use some of EPA's budget to create $20,000 tax credits for the purchase of Hybred cars like Prius(9 year track record 44 miles per gallon) which would create jobs for the auto industry(which we're subsidizing anyway) and cut pollution(which is EPA's supposed mandate) and give real ordinary tax payors a little boost. We could end the tax credit for hybreds when the USA is no longer dependent on foreign oil.

Pressure defense, team work and a high energy level are all staples of the Bel Air High School girls basketball team.
On Tuesday night, the No. 1-ranked Highlanders put all those qualities together to take down ninth-ranked Hanks in a 51-40 home victory.
"We play sideline to sideline and baseline to baseline. That's who we are," Bel Air coach Clay Ward said. "Everyone gave us a great effort."
Bel Air's defense was the story for much of the night. The Highlanders, now 11-0, forced 29 Hanks turnovers, holding the visitors to just three points in the game-changing second quarter.
The Knights (3-5) led 13-12 after the first quarter behind three 3-pointers, but couldn't handle Bel Air's full-court or half-court pressure. Meanwhile, Bel Air got four points from guard Alanis Candelaria in the second quarter to take a 24-16 lead at halftime.
"We just continued to play hard and kept our pressure up on defense," Bel Air guard Jacinda Woodruff said. "We played with a lot of energy throughout."
The Highlanders maintained control of the game in the second half and the lead never got below six points.
Bel Air was led by Candelaria with 18 points, and Gaby Vega with 14. Vega scored scored eight points in the first half, while Candelaria scored nine points in each half.
The Highlanders also had a big advantage at the free-throw line, outscoring the Knights 21-8.
"We're playing really well as a team right now," Vega said. "Our confidence is really high and we just come really focused each time we step out onto the court. We take every practice and game really serious and that makes a difference for us. And we have the experience of playing together for a long time."
Hanks, which was the preseason No. 1-ranked team, was led by Zulema Viescas with 11 points and BreAnna Fuller with 10. Viescas drained three 3-pointers on the night, and as a team, the Knights had six 3-pointers.

Come on over.
Are you looking for a unique academic experience in a personalized setting? Do you want closer relationships with your professors and greater opportunities for independent research? Do you want to study around the world? If so, we encourage you to apply as a transfer student to Eckerd College.
Transfer students are an important part of our campus community. They come from not only Florida, but all over the country. Some students transfer to Eckerd after receiving their A.A. degree, while others are trying to find a school that fits them better. Either way, we are here to help you decide if Eckerd is the right place for you. Transfer students bring a variety of life and college experiences to Eckerd that we feel greatly enrich our academic and residential community.
If you are considering transferring to Eckerd College, the following information will help answer some important questions.
Who is considered a transfer student?
A transfer candidate is anyone who has taken college class(es) post high school graduation at a college, university, junior or community college that has earned full regional accreditation. Applicants are expected to be in good standing at the institution last attended and eligible to return to that institution.
High School students taking dual enrollment courses are not considered transfer students in the application process. However, the completed coursework will be considered for academic credit and advanced standing at Eckerd. Students also taking a "gap" year that have earned less than 12 hours of college credit will not be considered transfer students.
Please Note: Adult students (23 and over) living in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, Seminole, North Pinellas County, Manatee or Sarasota areas should contact the Program for Experienced Learners (PEL) office directly at 727-864-8226 for Admission information.
What is the application timeline?
Eckerd College has a "rolling" admission process. This means that we accept and deliver decisions on applications throughout the year without a true deadline. However, we recommend that you apply no later than one month prior to the beginning of each term.
Transfer students are considered for the following terms within our 4-1-4 academic calendar:
- Fall Term (September start), August 1 application deadline
- Winter Term (January start), December 1 application deadline
Once your application is complete, we will review it and return a decision to you within three weeks. Students who are accepted after November 15th for mid-year entry or after April 15th for fall entry will be expected to reply within 3 weeks of acceptance with a $400 non-refundable deposit.
What paperwork is required to apply?
- complete application with the application fee of $40
- official transcripts of all previous college work attempted or completed
- a final high school transcript (Candidates who will complete two or more full-time terms at a college or university before enrolling at Eckerd do not need to submit a high school transcript)
- SAT I or ACT scores (Candidates who will complete two or more full-time terms at a college or university before enrolling at Eckerd do not need to submit SAT I /ACT test scores. )
- a statement explaining why you wish to transfer, and why you are considering Eckerd College (included in Eckerd's application)
- Dean's Report from current or most recent institution attended (i.e., a letter reflecting "good standing" from current/previous institution)
- Re-Activation Supplement - fill this out only if you were admitted in a prior year and want to reactivate your application.
What do we consider when reading your application?
While we carefully consider all the information you provide us, your college academic history is the most important part of your application. We want to ensure your success at Eckerd and we need to be able to gauge your ability to succeed in college courses. We not only look at your grades, but also the difficulty of the courses you took.
Your transfer essay is also an important part of your application because it not only gives you an opportunity to tell us about yourself, but it also provides us with a glimpse of your writing style. The essay is also an opportunity for you to explain any "blips" in your academic history. For example, if you had a low GPA one semester, or you received a poor grade in a class, it is a good idea to explain what happened in your essay. A student who has taken some time off of school should explain what s/he has been doing since leaving school.
If you have not been in school for several years or did not do well academically at your last institution, we strongly encourage you to enroll in several courses at a local community college before applying to Eckerd.
What if I previously applied and chose not to attend, but would like to transfer now?
Re-activating your Eckerd College application
If you applied to Eckerd College during the past year, but chose to attend school elsewhere, you may have your old application reactivated. If you applied more than one year ago, you must complete a new application. In order to reactivate your application, please complete the Re-activation Supplement and ask that your application be reactivated.
In addition, please send in the following paperwork.
- Official transcripts of any colleges or universities you have attended
- Proof of high school graduation if you previously applied as a first-year student
- If you have completed less than two full-time semesters of college, please send us your final high school transcript
- If you have completed more than two full-time semesters of college, you may send in either your final high school transcript or a copy of your high school diploma
- Updated letter of recommendation from a professor or teaching assistant
- Dean's Report (PDF) (We need an updated Dean's Report even if you have previously filed one.)
- Essay - "Describe your important college experiences to date and your reasons for seeking to transfer to Eckerd College. You may also include any other information that you would like our Admission staff to know now about yourself."
You may also want to send a resume updating any activities or awards you have received since the last time you applied.
What if I withdrew from Eckerd in the past and would like to attend now?
If you attended Eckerd College in the past, withdrew, and would like to re-enter, you must receive permission from the Office of Student Affairs. Please contact Student Affairs at 727-864-8421 with the following information:
- your name
- Eckerd College ID #
- the semester you wish to return
- current phone number and mailing address
- current phone number, mailing address and email address
An application to the Admission Office is not necessary under these circumstances.
What type of financial aid is available to transfer students?
Transfer applicants are eligible for renewable merit-based scholarships ranging from $6,000 to $11,000 annually. Scholarships are awarded at the time of admission and are based on the student's college academic record.
Phi Theta Kappa members are also eligible for a renewable $1,000 scholarship. You should provide proof, such as a letter from your Phi Theta Kappa advisor or other official documentation indicating your membership, in your application.
Transfer students who will be entering Fall Term are also eligible for Eckerd's Artistic Achievement award. Eckerd College recognizes artistic achievement in Music, Theatre, Visual Arts and Creative Writing. You need to have already been admitted to the College before you apply and all materials must be post marked by February 1st. More information regarding scholarships and aid is available on our website.
How will my credits transfer?
If you are considering transferring to Eckerd College and are curious about credit for courses at other schools, please fill out the Transfer Course Credit Inquiry Form.
Upon your acceptance to Eckerd College, all official transcripts received will be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for evaluation. We will mail you an initial evaluation showing the amount of credit accepted, your class standing, and the minimum number of Eckerd College courses to be completed for the degree. Once you have decided to attend Eckerd, completed all transfer work and sent final official transcripts, an updated evaluation is sent to you showing how your credit applies to specific degree requirements and the general education courses required for graduation. Shortly before school starts, a member of the Registrar's office will contact you to pre-register you for your courses. Upon arrival at Eckerd, you will meet with your mentor to finalize your schedule.
In order for a course to be considered for transfer to Eckerd College, you must have earned a C or higher. Students with an Associate of Arts degree will be awarded first semester junior standing.

|Class Standing
|Credit Hours*

|30 - 57.99

* Eckerd will accept a maximum of 63 credit hours.
What are the graduation requirements?
In order to graduate from Eckerd College, a transfer student must spend at least four semesters and two short terms, including the senior year, in the College or in an approved off campus program, for a minimum of 18 Eckerd College course credits.
All transfer students entering at Fall Term will be required to complete:
Students transferring to Eckerd College with sophomore standing are considered exempt from Western Heritage in a Global Context, foreign language, the first-year oral communication and first-year information technology proficiency requirements, and quantitative requirements. All transfer students must meet the following general education requirements: composition competency (i.e. writing portfolio), oral communication and technological competency in their major or concentration, and Quest for Meaning. Transfer students may count transfer credits toward fulfilling academic area requirements but must complete an Eckerd environmental and global perspective course. Eckerd College students are also required to attend College Program Series events and the number of events required is determined by the student's class standing at time of entry.
Please refer to our course catalog for greater details on Eckerd graduation requirements.
Can transfer students take part in Autumn Term? What are my orientation options?
In order to help you acclimate to Eckerd College, we have created several transfer orientation options, depending on your class standing. Orientation is required and will give you an opportunity to learn more about the College and how to best utilize our many resources.
Incoming transfer students with freshman class standing will be treated as a traditional freshman at the College for the purpose of orientation. Eckerd College freshman take part in a three week program known as "Autumn Term" before the start of Fall Term where they take their first Eckerd College course and participate in orientation activities. Freshman transfer students will be able to choose which course they would like to take.
Incoming transfer students with sophomore class standing will also be participating in Autumn Term. Sophomores, however, will be taking a class together that focuses on having students better understand their learning style and leadership skills.
Incoming transfer students with junior class standing will be taking part in a three day intensive orientation. These orientation events are required and have been created to help transfers acclimate to the Eckerd environment and avail themselves to the all the resources at the College. This option is also appropriate for freshman and sophomore transfer students that will not be able to attend Autumn Term or non-traditional underclassman transfer students (e.g. those over the age of 22).
How do I schedule a campus visit?
We hope that you will be able to plan a visit to campus sometime during the application process. You can join us for our Fall or Spring Open Houses or schedule a visit individually.
Our Fall Open House will be held November 11th and our Spring Open House will be held March 22. In addition to a campus tour, you will have the opportunity to learn more about academics and extracurricular activities at Eckerd, financing you education, and much more.
You are welcome to schedule a visit on your own. Please visit the Admission visit portal to find out more. Beyond taking a campus tour, you can also speak with an admission counselor, sit in on a class, have lunch with a student or meet with a professor. You can even take a boat tour around Boca Ciega Bay and get a water view of Eckerd. We offer admission interviews during visits and they are highly recommended so we can get a chance to know you better and put a face to your application.
What are my housing options?
Eckerd College has eleven residential complexes for student housing, including eight complexes with four houses of 34-36 students, 16 eight person suites in Nu Dorm, and Omega's thirty-three apartments for four and five people with living rooms and kitchens. Most residences overlook the water, and nearly 80 percent of Eckerd students live on campus.
Transfer students can request on-campus housing on their application for admission, and will file a Housing Application upon depositing with the College. The Housing Application will ask a number of questions to aid our Residential Life Staff placement. For more information on on-campus housing visit the Housing website.
What can I do with an Eckerd degree?
An Eckerd College degree and the experiences you have while you are here provide you with a world of possibilities for future employment and schooling. Eckerd graduates work and go to school all over the world, and have limitless opportunities. Last year . . .
- 33% of recent graduates found jobs within one month of graduation.
- 69% of recent graduates are employed full time
- 36% went on to graduate school
Eckerd is also one of the top 50 colleges that produce future Ph.Ds. Recent graduates have attended Cornell University Law School, Harvard University, Yale University, Rutgers University, Iowa State University (Veterinary Medicine), Duke University, Emory, University of Chicago, and University of Queensland (Australia), just to name a few.
Where do Eckerd graduates work? Recent graduates have taken positions at Raymond James Financial, Morgan Stanley, Franklin Templeton, Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Yanayacu Biological Station in Cosanga, Ecuador, United States Geological Survey, Duke University Medical Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Discovery Channel, Canterbury School (FL), Florida Humanities Council, Florida Fish and Wildlife, and Florida Park Services…just to name a few! You'll also find Eckerd graduates working as authors, teachers, lawyers, physicians and as business owners.
Eckerd graduates are also known for giving back the community, so it's not surprising that many graduates have done Teach for America, the Peace Corps, or have taught English in developing countries.

It's finally done! I LOVE how it turned out!! This is not really a tutorial but I will quickly share with you how I put it all together and what materials I used to get the look!
So here is the wall before. My idea all started with a vision and painters tape..lol:0)
and now!
LOVEEEEEE:0) Just goes to show you can use simple materials to create something absolutely wonderful for your home! I've always wanted a mantel and a fireplace and with a little elbow grease I managed to get one up and it looks great in our space!
So here is the basics of what I did.
For the fireplace surround (white planks) I used the following…
- 1×2's cut to size
- 2 in nails
- 5.5 inch primed MDF planks cut to size
- white paint
- wood filler
- sander
First we made a frame for the wide 5.5 in planks. I would give you the measurements but it's very specific for our space. I really just eyeballed how wide I wanted everything to be.
Then I nailed all the planks to the frame using 2 inch nails and a nail gun. I also used the 1×2 for the sided of the fireplace.
After that I did a lot of sanding and filling holes, a little facial I call it:0). I'm SO happy the planks were already primed, otherwise I would have been at this forever!
After that I painted the planks a nice crisp white.
The mantel was just as easy. This time instead of primed wood I used an unfinished wood.
For this mantel I used…
- (2) 5.5 planks
- (1) 1×2 cut to size
- finishing nails
- wood filler
- stain
- staining rags
- sander
First I took the two 5.5 in planks and made a shelf. One plank for the top and one for the bottom. Then I used some scrap pieces of wood and nailed them to the sides to make a L-shaped box.
On top I used 1×2 's to create some depth. Then I filled the holes and sanded it down a bit.
Next I used my favorite stain, Miniwax in this yummy chocolate color…walnut! I stained it about 4-6 times to get the color a little richer and darker. In between drying I nicked a scraped the wood to give it a rustic look.
After my pretty mantel was all dry, I hung a 2×4 onto the fireplace to support the mantel.
Here it is all hung!!
It took me forever to decide what to put in the opening. That's why I've been staling for so long:0))) But I think I found a great solution. I went to my local Lowe's and had a piece of their faux brick (I see it all the time and I've always wanted to use it!!) cut to size and just pushed it right in there! They best thing about it is that it has a nice tight fit but can be changed into something different whenever I feel like it!! I figured for summer I can lighten it up with beadboard or a painted gray brick:) Is that not such a stylist/stager move!..lol But it's totally me!
I think a few wood logs, and a screen will be just right! As soon as I find some pieces I will share. OH! I can't wait to get it all dressed up for Christmas! "Deck the halls…." lol!
Hope you love it as much as I do!!
That's all.

LOVE IT!!! I am very impressed!! It looks great!
this looks great! I ended up buying a mantel off of craigslist that needs some work, will hopefully have it ready before Thanksgiving. Thanks for the inspiration!
It looks amazing.
I had my husband build me a fake fireplace last year before Christmas 'cause I desperately wanted a mantel. Ours is free standing, but I like how you built yours on the wall. And I love the brick inside. I just painted mine black, but I've been trying to come up with something else. I may have to steal your idea. :o)

Oh Destiny! This turned out amazing! I've wanted a mantle & fireplace forever and now you've inspired me to come up with something even if there's no real fire:) LOVE IT!
Wow Destiny, this is such a clever idea! Especially for someone like me who doesn't have a fireplace! You are amazing! I love all of the beautiful additions you have made to your home!
LOOOVVVEEE IT!!! What a great idea. So wish I could have this instead of the wood stove that sets awkwardly in our living room. I also love your brown paper flowers. Did you make those….I'm sure you did.
A new follower here. How creative, I think every home should have a fireplace, whether it is real or not it sure does give a room character and warmth (the visual kind). I love the horizontal wood for the backing too. I'm off to read a little bit more now. Thanks for sharing!
Love love love it! Great idea.
Destiny! You have done it again! I love love love your new fireplace!!! xoxo Beautiful job!
This is absolutely amazing!! I never would have thought of making a fireplace like this! I also love your paper flowers. I made some too and posted it and gave you credit:)
Destiny, this is amazing!! I saw you're beautiful project a long time ago {way before I started blogging} and it inspired me to create a fireless fireplace in my home! It took me forever to actually start on it, but it's almost done!! I had forgotten where I found this idea until I saw you on Lil' Luna. I had pinned something else from your blog and wanted to check it out, but never got around to it {my memory fails me a lot}. So when you were Kristyn's guest, it reminded me to visit you and I found my fireplace inspiration while I was at it! Thank you so much for sharing your talents and helping me create some sort of fireplace for my home!
I love what you have done here with creating a fireplace. I think it is my favorite of all posts I have seen ever. I just love it! You have done such a great job! Every now and then I have to come back here and look again. It makes me happy to see what you have accomplished. Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing. I have been on google for over an hour looking for inspiration. I found you through Ana White's blog. This is exactly what i was looking for in a mantle!
I love this! You did a wonderful job. Do you have instructions for the hearth also?
My husband is making me this fireplace in our master for my Christmas present We're sketching things out and I was wondering how wide yours is (for a reference of scale) and how wide/tall the fireplace insert part is as well?? Thanks!

Does someone come to mind when you think of a prideful person?
Would you say someone was prideful if they swept floors and did countless menial tasks for a junior college basketball team?
Marquette University's Brent "Buzz" Williams wanted to be a college basketball coach so bad, he "buzzed" around the Navarro Community College team often enough that the head coach gave him his nickname.
Williams submitted his pride to pursue his dreams.
Is a prideful person someone who thinks they can do everything on their own, and don't need to go to camps or get extra coaching?
What about the person who thinks they can single-handedly defy all odds against chemical dependency and ignore the advice of those who love them?
Everyone needs help in life or in sports at one time or another. Attempting to go it alone will lead only to a path of self-destruction.
C.S. Lewis said, "A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you."
It's easy for us to point out the existing pride in someone else, but will we see the pride that may have our own life out of kilter?
Pride causes us to focus solely on being better than the person next to us, instead of concentrating on being the best we can be.
Prideful people push away sources of help, and ignore loved ones - refusing to apologize after a lengthy argument because they insist on being right.
An old proverb states, "Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth - a stranger, not your own lips."
Each one of us was given a unique set of gifts. If we try to imitate another or be better than a friend or teammate, we may be limiting our possibilities.
Be forewarned, pursuing success will not be without challenge. If we submit our pride, we can use the adversity in our lives to make us stronger, and nothing is a better teacher than life's experiences.
Sometimes it takes a person to hit rock bottom before they submit their pride and seek help. Some are wiser and seek guidance, mentorship or advice earlier than others.
What does it mean when someone says, "Don't let your pride get in the way?"
Pride needs to be balanced in our lives, but if we let pride get out of check, it will overwhelm us.
Is it OK to be proud of who we are?
Yes, as long as we don't become full of pride.
St. Vincent de Paul once said, "Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying."
Some may say Williams swept the floors only to get an assistant coaching position, but since taking over at Marquette, he continues to submit his pride by helping others and teaching his players to do the same.
In this case, my pride for him is a good thing.

All knights in the area want a chance at the treasure and race to her mountain. To protect her young, the mother dragon is looking for those who would attack her baby and her new hoard. If she catches a knight, he will spend the rest of his life polishing gold and then finish by feeding the baby dragon. Those knights that can avoid the mother dragon will carry off their share of gold and gems!"

Badtameez Dil, Lungi Dance, Gandi Baat, Party All Night: Which Is 2013′s Best Party Track?
In a year that was almost ruled throughout with soft melodies, romantic ballads and some beautiful renditions that would stamp 2013 as one of the most musical years in the film fraternity, the year was a mixed bag of some humongously hummable and party-licious numbers that made one dance and move to the beats, anytime any moment of the day.
Guess we all did shake our booties to these foot tapping numbers that rocked the charts this year. Time to take a pick!
Party On My Mind, Race 2 (KK, Honey Singh)
Setting the tempo of the year was KK and Honey Singh's brilliantly mixed 'Party On My Mind' number which rocked discotheques ever since. The enticing beats and the calculated jives made way for a superb number which was high on intensity and fun! The song made people wear their party shoes, and let their body loose, total partykhor style!
Sadda Dil Vi Tu, ABCD (Hard Kaur)
Hard Kaur had been my personal favourite from years until she decided to take a step back and sing lot fewer songs than what she used to. The way Hard Kaur lends that funky hip hop flavor to any number is seemingly engaging. And the 'Sadda Dil Vi Tu' track somehow escalated as the new victory anthem of sorts, thanks to Hard Kaur's powerful tone.
Badtameez Dil, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Benny Dayal, Shefali Alvaris)
Definitely the biggest party track of the year, one that embodied full on party fervor with immense aplomb, 'Badtameez Dil' starts off on a really high note and was catchy right from the first tune. Stupid lyrics mingled with some peppy beats made up for an otherwise fun number that allowed anyone to move in the best ways, possible to him. But don't forget doing the signature hand movement, please!
Havan Karenge, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (Divya Kumar)
Rythmic and Foot tapping beats ornament in this Divya Kumar rendition. Free filling and encouraging, this number had instantly become a rage among the guys after it was released. 'Havan Karenge' became the new catchphrase and somehow Maston ka Jhund scored over all the other numbers from the album.
Dhating Naach, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero (Nakash Aziz, Shefali Alvares)
Sexy, seductive, and brilliantly comical, Rajkumar Santoshi's Phata Poster Nikhla Hero might have failed at the box office but he created something so energetic that will have his film remembered for the next few years. Dhating Naach, the ultimate party number comes with strange lyrics and is fetchingly peppy and upbeat. Bubbly and perky, Dhating Naach rounded off the year on a superb note. What more are you thinking for? Chalo, ek, do teen, chaar, paanch, aye Dhating Naach!
Party All Night, Boss (Honey Singh)
It was all Yo Yo Honey Singh all the way this year as he perfected his rap and his hardcore timing with an enigmatic party number, the only good thing about the entire film. While Party All Night helped all our parties to brim over till the wee hours, all night long, we could not help but just make that emphatic move.
Gandi Baat, R….Rajkumar (Mika Singh, Kalpana Patowary)
Another film that created madness and gave a new dimension to Dirty Dancing, R. Rajkumar had one of the most affluent item numbers this season as 'Gandi Baat' raged away to the chartbuster's list with a storm. Playing it on a loop on the phones was just a trick, but the hand movement caught a frenzy. 'Gandi Baat' became the new talk of the town and how!
1 2 3 4 Get On The Dance Floor, Chennai Express (Vishal Dadlani, Hamsika Iyer)
The song when released could not quite catch attention but with time slowly as it did, it was like a house on fire. Drums, dhols, beats and the South Indian mood was brought about oh-so-perfectly in this number which made our booty shake '1 2 3 4' and kept on shaking till the song got over. Hamsika's infectious voice made this song an orgasmic hear.
Lungi Dance, Chennai Express (Honey Singh)
A song that ravaged around the nation making the Lungi the new fashion statement, Yo Yo Honey Singh had his hearts out in his tribute to the Thalaiva. 'Lungi Dance', with its brilliant feel good atmosphere had the nation swooning to it and more than that, it kept the people on groove who were busy making a lungi out of anything they wore! Definitely the Song of the Year, Lungi Dance is outrightly crazy and indeed emerges as the confluence of Bollywood and Tolly's biggest superstars! When there's Lungi dance playing in the background, you can't just sit there and watch without joining the floors.
Tooh, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (Mamta Sharma, Mika Singh)
The film might have tanked but its no denial that the movie had some brilliant numbers and 'Tooh' was the Best from the otherwise raunchy album. Vibrant and extremely effervescent, Tooh is the best wedding song that we have had in a long time.

Girls hold on to standout record at Louisburg
The Eudora girls basketball team is very quietly putting together a record-breaking season.
The Cards sit in a at 8-2 on the season, an easily figured 80 percent winning percentage. They finished last season at 7-14 -- a winning percentage of 33 percent. That's a 47 percent improvement.
Eudora surpassed last year's win total with its 54-44 triumph on the road Tuesday at Louisburg. It was the team's second meeting in two weeks. The Cardinals defeated the Wildcats 52-38 on Jan. 6 in Eudora.
But the win Tuesday night carried the greater significance of a league game. The victory improved Eudora to 5-0 in the Frontier League.
Neither win over Louisburg was particularly pretty. But that's not the Wildcats' style of play. They like to play physical and even a little frantic.
That frantic style surrendered more than two dozen turnovers Tuesday night to the Cardinals.
"It was ugly," Eudora head coach Cara Kimberlin said. "We didn't capitalize on their turnovers consistently enough. It was a lot like the way we played them last time. They forced us to play their sloppy, scrappy, rugby-like style of game."
Perhaps the biggest difference between this team and last year's squad is the ability to win games "ugly." Eudora carries a swagger and confidence with it this year that enables it to win games it would not have won in the past.
But that's not to say the Cardinals want to play that way.
"We can't play like this night in and night out," Kimberlin said. "We're not going to play teams that are going to force us to play like that either. We've got to get to the point where we control the game and get teams to play at our level, not the other way around."
No matter what level the game is being played, Eudora will ride the back of senior superstar Lauren Kracl. The 6-foot standout is all but a shoo-in for the all-state team. And thus opposing defenses will have a consistent and indisputable focus: to stop her.
Although Louisburg didn't stop Kracl, she was slowed down a bit. .
"I think defensively they did a good job of taking (Kracl) out of her rhythm," Kimberlin said. "They hounded her everywhere she went. It got her out of sync, and it frustrated her."
And at times it frustrated her teammates.
"They've got to figure out that's the way teams are going to defend us. We can't be surprised by that," Kimberlin said.
Even the Louisburg student body had an isolated focus. The group cheered louder for Kracl than they did any of their own players -- in a mocking tribute, of course. They held up signs of love, admiration and even propositions of dating.
"Apparently the guys from around (Louisburg) can't get a date with any of the girls," Kimberlin said. "They were just trying to get in her head, but she's a senior, and she's mature enough to flip it the other way and say 'I'll show you.'"
Despite the Wildcats best defensive efforts, Kracl pulled down yet another double-double (18 points and more than a dozen boards).
The game got off to an anything but ugly start -- for Eudora, anyway. The Cardinals took a 10-7 lead into the second quarter, thanks to a rare turnover-free opening period.
Louisburg closed to within one at 12-11 early in the second. But a Kracl three-point play repelled the threat. Eudora closed the half on a 10-2 run, establishing a seemingly comfortable 28-15 halftime lead.
The Cardinals may have come out of the half a little too complacent, as the Cats out-scored the Cards 12-8 in the third.
In the fourth, Eudora hit a free throw early in the frame, extending its lead to 10 at 37-27. Louisburg responded with a 7-0 run, remarkably closing to within three.
The Cards were the beneficiaries of strong bench play.
"(Carrie Lister) really had a good evening," Kimberlin said. "She played good defense and was physical at grabbing balls on rebounds."

Air Force Undersecretary Eric Fanning said March 11 the the investigations into the cheating scandals at Malmstrom Air Force Base are wrapping up. (Scott M. Ash/Air Force)
- Filed Under
The Air Force will announce its response to allegations of cheating among nuclear missile officers in two weeks, as multiple investigations wrap up and the top nuclear commander finalizes his recommendations.
Air Force Global Strike Command commander Gen. Stephen Wilson commissioned three separate studies following the January announcement that more than 90 intercontinental ballistic missile launch officers were caught up in a cheating investigation at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. Air Force Undersecretary Eric Fanning said Tuesday those investigations are wrapping up and Wilson is finishing his recommendations to Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James.
Fanning could not say what responsive steps were likely, including the possibility of punitive measures against base and wing leaders.
"We will be able to answer all questions about what we're going to do about the cheating at Malmstrom in about two weeks," Fanning said.
Wilson will report to James in Washington at that time, and then Air Force leaders will provide their reports to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
In January, the Air Force announced that 92 officers had allegedly cheated or known about cheating on a monthly proficiency exam last summer. Those officers were temporarily taken off launch duty, as the entire launch force was retrained. About 95 percent of the force passed follow-up testing.
Fanning said the investigation so far has focused only on airmen at Malmstrom, and not on those at the other missile bases: F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., and Minot Air Force Base, N.D.; and training base Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

Within reason, physical pain is not necessarily bad.
Maybe that's the best starting point for tackling the epidemic of adults and youth who are becoming addicted to opiates: Tolerating a small amount of pain is preferable to becoming addicted to prescription drugs.
Contemporary America has created a conundrum. Science has blessed the medical community with powerful prescription drugs that can take away a patient's pain - Vicodin, OxyContin, Oxycodone, Percocet and others. But those drugs are opiate-based and addictive.
Most patients who use them won't become addicted. But some will. And when their prescriptions run out, some will turn to heroin, which can be stronger, cheaper and even more addictive.
Law enforcement officials trace the boom in heroin addictions, arrests and overdoses to the boom in prescribed painkillers. That's how most heroin addicts got their start.
"It is really an epidemic for us," Marion County (Ore.) Juvenile Court Judge Tracy Prall said.
The epidemic includes the ease with which kids are stealing their parents' or grandparents' leftover prescription painkillers, and then smoking them or ingesting them in other ways.
In response, Marion County has launched a project to increase public awareness of prescription-drug and heroin abuse.
Here's what residents can do:
Patients: Understand that opiate-based prescription drugs can become addictive, even when used legally. Discuss alternatives with your physician, dentist, pharmacist or other health provider. If prescription painkillers are prescribed, ask for only a few days' supply so you aren't tempted to use more and so leftover pills don't fall into the wrong hands.
Health providers: Check the state patient database - the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program - before prescribing an opiate. That will show whether controlled substances already are prescribed for the person. Raise this issue with health organizations, professional associations and other groups so that prescribing painkillers no longer is the norm - and the expectation of patients - in most situations.
Families: Never share prescription drugs with anyone else.
Don't hang onto leftover prescription painkillers "just in case someday I really hurt." Take them to the local police department or to a drug-turn-in event for disposal.
Leftover pills are popular with thieves, with burglars and with kids who want to experiment. So talk with your kids about the dangers of prescription painkillers - and of taking any pill without parents' approval.
Don't leave this as an issue for law enforcement to "fix." Heed the words of Judge Prall: "This is really a community issue. It's a public health concern for us."

I would also argue for quantity. Better to have a whole bunch in 2 styles than a few of 4 or 5 or 6 styles. Why?
I rarely have any get togethers that require more than eight stems. But if I buy a pattern, I get 36 +. This is at least four times the number I expect to use in one night.
Otherwise, it's not long till i've broken enough that I no longer have a matched set for company. If you are like me and buy at Costco or look for sales, you may no longer be able to find that pattern for a good price or at all. Of course, if you pay retail for Reidel, you don't have to worry about this problem - nothing wrong with that.
Re your question: I am skeptical of the Reidel claims that their precise shapes are ideally matched for each of their varietal/stylistic categories. Just one point: the sensory variation among representatives of a single varietal is huge, even if you consider just the excellent examples.
So, I say get two styles of glasses to start with, or (as said above) three if you like Pinot's. Later, if you have room and you are into it, you can get more styles as a splurge.

S. aureus Program
A Novel Paradigm for Fighting Staphylococcal Infections and Their Complications
The pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is dependent on a wide range of virulence factors including cell surface proteins, polysaccharides, and secreted toxins. Surface antigens mediate the attachment of the bacteria to the tissue, protect the bacteria from immune cells, and regulate the metabolic needs of the bacteria. S. aureus has an arsenal of secreted toxins that use a variety of mechanisms to cause tissue damage and thus promote bacterial dissemination and distant organ seeding. These toxins also inactivate or kill immune cells, such as phagocytic neutrophils, to evade the host immune response and to provide the bacteria with a growth advantage.
Lessons from prior failed efforts clearly show that an effective vaccine against S. aureus must be multivalent and importantly, must include attenuated toxin antigens. Using state of the art medicinal chemistry methods, IBT has designed and produced highly attenuated vaccines and antibody therapeutics for a variety of staphylococcal exotoxins and other relevant antigens including hemolysins (alpha and gamma toxin), leukocidins (such as PVL), and superantigens (SEB, SEA, TSST-1).
IBT's candidate vaccines have already demonstrated remarkable efficacy against S. aureus induced sepsis and pneumonia in mice and proof of concept studies in other models of staphylococcal infections are underway. A portfolio of patented intellectual property around these vaccine and immunotherapeutic candidates has been assembled to support continued development.
Recombinant staphylococcal enterotoxin (STEBVax) is IBT's prototype superantigen vaccine, currently (2013-2014) undergoing a Phase I clinical trial under an NIH sponsored program. STEBVax will be a component of a multivalent S. aureus vaccine, but also serves as a stand alone vaccine for protection of military and civilian populations against possible usage of this potent toxin in a biowarfare or bioterror attack.
Immunotherapeutic research at IBT focuses on the development of monoclonal antibodies, including bispecific and multispecific antibodies, that neutralize S. aureus toxins.
IBT is seeking partnership for advanced development of its multivalent toxoid vaccine and immunotheraputics.

Even if I've seen worst, but I've also seen better. It is moisturizing, but the slip wasn't that wow for a detangling leave in. But it also cocktail good with most of my challenging stlyling product. It's one of the only leave that I can combine with ecostlyer and cantu.
Posted by BARBIEISMEV (Type 4a) on 03/26/2015
Although this has silicons , it left my 4a hair very soft and it felt very moisturized. This moisture lasted for days although I tend to be a bit heavy handed and I didn't experience any product build up or the usual dirty/greasy look . It is lightweight and my curls seemed to bounce , this made detangling a breeeze plus it works well with gels and it's custard counterpart. I recommend this product out of al those in this line.
Posted by vaa263 (Type 4b) on 12/03/2014
The product was ok the first day, I felt that my hair was well moisturized and very soft. But the second day, my hair started to feel very dry and there was a lot of residue. Good for detanging though.
Posted by CurlyCoilyKelly (Type 4a) on 10/14/2014
This leave in worked well with my kinky/coily hair. It didn't wow me, but it got the job done. I love the citrus scent!
Posted by Steya (Type 3b) on 10/13/2014
For a leave in, leave my hair defined (when I use alone). But when I use the Keep it Curly with it, leaves my hair dry. Works well with others products (flaxseed gel). NO like citrus scent
Posted by rjbyrne3 (Type Unknown) on 10/12/2014
I feel like this product is a very good detangler. It made combing my hair a lot easier. However, it really doesn't work for me as a leave-in conditioner. I felt like my 3B hair was dry and became pretty frizzy on the ends. I really don't care for the fragrance, although it fades as it dries.
Posted by LaLaPoP (Type 3c) on 10/12/2014
I'm kind of on the fence with this one, it's a little on the runny side, lightweight, smells great and has pretty good slip to it. The reason im on the fence about it is because while all that i mentioned above is great my hair felt dry after a few hours. it looked good but felt terrible, i plan to try it out a few more times before i make my final decision on it
Posted by Nicohall (Type 4a) on 10/10/2014
I loved this detangler!!! It has great slip and easily worked through my hair. I also used it on my daughters who are a 2B and 3A and it worked just as nicely. My husband loved the smell.
Posted by lizamcgraw (Type Unknown) on 10/10/2014
Worked great on detangling my hair. I used this with the deep conditioner and curl pudding. A few hours after my wash n go my hair was a frizzy mess. Also all 3 products did not have the greatest smell.
Posted by acuckler (Type Unknown) on 10/10/2014
I liked how it detangled my hair, but I didn't like the smell of it.
Posted by lizmat (Type 3b) on 10/09/2014
This product detangled my hair so quickly and has great slip. It's great! I didn't like the scent but the product works wonders.
Posted by Lakishag (Type Unknown) on 10/01/2014
They should rename this MIRACLE IN A BOTTLE!!! It was super easy, scary kind of, to detangle my hair after applying this product!
Posted by didifs7 (Type 3b) on 09/30/2014
It was a solid leave in conditioner that gave great slip and detangles really well. It's not as thick as I'd like a leave in to be, so I ended up using a good bit of product to get the moisture I was looking for, but at that price point, I didn't flinch too much about using a lot. I will say that the scent is a bit overpowering. As much as I love mango, it smells like artificial mango, and I wasn't a huge fan of that.
Posted by vjackson93 (Type 4a) on 09/29/2014
This is one of my favorite detanglers!
I don't have to detangle often as my hair is still quite short, but when I do, this is the bottle I reach for more often then not. I love it! Great slip! Great smell! Decent definition! Tons of moisture! My mom uses it on her color-treated relaxed hair as a moisturizer and it works wonders for her as well! This is definitely one of my staples now!
Posted by lalapop (Type Unkown) on 09/28/2014
while this did help detangle my hair i did not find it to be moisturizing enough and it seemed to weigh my hair down which was suprising because it has a thin runny consistency. On the plus side it smells amazing and i got a ton of compliments on how good my hair smelled but i don't think i'll continue using this
Posted by le_petitedame (Type 4a) on 09/28/2014
I gave this product 3 curls because it has amazing slip. I used this on dry, tangled twist out and it got me through all the knots in my hair. It was very moisturizing and I didn't need to use water first to get through my hair. My only gripe with this product is the glycerin, my hair hates glycerin because I have fine hair and it makes my hair lip and undefined.
Posted by aaliyahm95 (Type 3b) on 09/27/2014
got this as a free sample with my purchase
I LOVE this. it smells great and softens my hair and makes it easy to comb through
it did its job
the price makes it fabulous too!
its a little runny but at this price and its effects its awesome!
however if you use this to moisturize please layer a cream on top! (i used all of the samples for this line)
Posted by Juwalkie (Type 4b) on 09/26/2014
I give this 3 curls because it does really well as a detangler. My hair was amazingly easy to detangle, but the product isn't moisturizing at all. My hair even though wet while detangling I had to apply my normal leave in just for some moisture. I just hated the way it made my hair feel l. Will continue to use just because of the easy detangling session.
Posted by whitfsv (Type 4a) on 09/21/2014
I gave this product 4 curls because it did what it was supposed to do, detangle. It gave me some slip especially since my conditioning session did not go well. The consistency is a little thin but it gets the job done. The scent is nice but it feels moisturizing going on but I would not just let it dry alone on my hair seems like it would not be as moisturizing used alone.
Posted by wjlsg88 (Type Unknown) on 09/19/2014
I am definitely buying this when I run out! Most of the time I have to combine my normal leave in with something to help with slip but this is a nice neat little package of slip AND moisture! I used it on freshly washed hair and it cut my styling time down significantly. 4 days later I used it on my dry and busted curl and they came right back to life. De-tangling was a breeze then too. I usually stay away from runny leave in conditioners because the 4b section of my hair hates it but the consistency played well with all of my 3c 4ab hair. It did everything it said it would do plus I like the smell which I still can't put my finger on. It's like a fruity light flowery something.
Posted by kenyah (Type 4a) on 09/19/2014
This product was ok for me. I prefer a creamier leave in, the consistency was a little runny. I didn't have to use a lot. I was expecting it to make my hair feel sticky and coated. On dry hair, it detangled my hair and left it soft. As far as moisturizing, it was just so-so. I feel like it worked better when paired with the curl pudding on my hair. This wouldn't make my staple list, but I would use it again.
Posted by mrskina.weld (Type 4a) on 09/18/2014
I LOVE this product!! Everything that it says it is meant to do, it does!! I put this on my hair after washing and I had not detangled prior to because I wanted to see if it would do what it said! I began to apply this leave in detangling and softening creme to my hair in sections and I began to detangle. Baby when I tell you that my wide tooth comb was able to glide through my natural 4A hair with ease, you better believe it!! I was amazed at how easy it broke up my tangles and not to mention so far the products that I have tried from this line all smell the same, have the same color, texture and consistency! I rarely come across a product that can melt away my tangles with ease and leave me with barely any shed hair, LITERALLY! This product right here will definitely be used again and again! I loved the way it left my hair feeling amazingly soft and well moisturized!
Posted by Nia_Danielle (Type 4a) on 09/15/2014
This product has really amazing slip. I was having trouble at first but I figured out that I had to let the product sit on my hair for a few seconds to really get the benefit of the slip and see the true quality of the product. I used it after washing and my Denman brush went through the tangles a lot quicker than without it. I also like the smell which is a nice, light citrus smell, not too overpowering. Outside of that I did not feel like it left my hair exceptionally soft and moisturized which is part of the description so I gave it a 4.
Posted by angelajwms (Type 3c) on 09/14/2014
My hair was a MESS! Hadn't shingled or deep conditioned for two weeks. Had been pulling it back into a wet ponytail w/ conditioner. Used this to detangle today and got amazing slip. If I had one wish it would be that it was a bit thicker with a little more slip, but it definitely passed the test. I only had one patch of hair that required me to break out the comb to finish the job (I typically only use fingers) but I lost very little hair. I would recommend this to a friend and purchase again. The inexpensive product packs a punch.
Posted by teecurls (Type 3c) on 07/30/2014
The description of this product does exactly what it says for my 3c/4a hair. So I give it a high rating. I don't give it a 5 star only because it's a little thinner in consistency than I like, but I guess if it still does the job maybe it shouldn't matter? LOL. So a little goes a long way, especially for most of my hair which is 3c. My patch of 4a likes a little more. Overall, it's a good leave-in.

I bought this product on a whim and boy am I glad I did! I have 4C natural hair. This product is a great detangler and leave-in. It leaves my hair soft and very moisturized. The citrus scent is pleasant. Great for my children's hair also. I bought two more bottles just to make sure I don't run out too quickly.

So sweet, I braided cos I was transitioning from permed to natural but when I applied, whoa! It detangled all the tangled, left my hair soft and easy combo. Good buy and will recommend for anybody.

Love love this. It makes my hair so soft and it really does detangle. Tried it in my 4 year old's hair and its amazing no more tears. I just dampen the hair a bit with a spritz bottle containing water then add the condition. I let it soak in a bit then the comb just glides through. This has made doing my daughter hair so easy.

Very good moisturizer. It reminds me of Aunt Jackie's leave in. My hair is very moisturized and it lasts all day. I love the smell too. I am going to try the shampoo and conditioner too.

The smell is very citrusy and the slip was ok. But overall it does what it says...detangles. I like it but Im not in love. So I will be trying other products.

the entire line smells like oranges. the product description is actually spot on -- i could INSTANTLY detangle my hair when i applied this. instant slip and a lot of it! I don't use combs anymore, so I'm always looking for super slippery conditioners because i only use my fingers. The tangles just melted away... consistency is kind of thin and slippery and idk what it is, but it WORKS
honestly, i wasn't expecting this product to do much. but i was very very wrongggggg.
