Construction: Most parts** of items in the Monterey collection are made from a combination of Engineered Woods, a mixture of high-quality, hard and soft wood materials, which generally come from the surplus of the original lumber processing. Commonly referred to as MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and Composite Wood, these materials are wood fibers bonded together with a synthetic resin in a process that combines high heat and pressure to make a very stable, environmentally friendly product. The result is dense, strong panels of fiberboard and/or particleboard (composite wood), which are then laminated with durable, attractive finishes. **The back panel of Monterey pieces is heavy-gauge cardboard. The side that faces the wall is unfinished; the visible side is finished with laminate that matches the rest of the piece.

I'm still getting this error when trying to run/debug any portlet under netbeans, not even sample portlets are working. But when I try to hotdeploy my portlets into liferay/tomcat portal I'm using it works fine, except for not being able to debug anything. Did I missed some part of netbeans configuration ? I've not been able to find solution yet, spending few hours googling :(
Thanks in advance

Additionally, is there any way to set individual elements to that data type such as setting array elements individually.

|Early postnatal lead exposure induces tau phosphorylation in the brain of young rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23134599 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Cognitive impairment is a common feature of both lead exposure and hyperphosphorylation of tau. We, therefore, investigated whether lead exposure would induce tau hyperphosphorylation. Wistar rat pups were exposed to 0.2% lead acetate via their dams' drinking water from postnatal day 1 to 21. Lead in blood and brain were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and the expression of tau, phosphorylated tau and various serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP1, PP2A, PP2B and PP5) in the brain was analyzed by Western blot. Lead exposure significantly impaired learning and resulted in a significant reduction in the expression of tau but increased the phosphorylation of tau at Ser199/202, Thr212/Ser214 and Thr231. PP2A expression decreased, whereas, PP1 and PP5 expression increased in lead-exposed rats. These results demonstrate that early postnatal exposure to lead decrease PP2A expression and induce tau hyperphosphorylation at several serine and threonine residues. Hyperphosphorylation of tau may be a mechanism of Pb-induced deficits in learning and memory.

Which cup (drive side or non drive side) is lefty thread on a 'regular' british (Cervelo rig) bb with the campy 10s Ultra Torque crank? I seem to remember that the drive side is 'regular' and the non drive is a lefty thread?


text: I just purchased a Nikon S2 with a 5cm/1,4 that has 12 blades but I haven't had the chance to use it yet. I do have to add my thoughts on the Minolta Auto Rokkor 58/1,4. This lens gives the creamiest bokeh that I have ever seen from any lens. I have a few examples around here somewhere that I will try to post. But in the mean time check out the Rokkor files for comparisons of Minolta lenses and the bokeh they produce, you may be surprised.

BOURNE — Bourne and Hyannis traded four-spots in the third inning, but the Braves battled back for a 7-4 win over the Harbor Hawks at Doran Park on Monday evening.
A two-run single by Donnie Dewees Jr. (North Florida) followed later by a two-run double by Barnstable's Bobby Melley (Connecticut) gave Hyannis (13-20) a 4-0 lead in the top of the third.
Bourne (21-11-1) fought right back, using a two-run triple by Brett Sullivan (Pacific), an error and a wild pitch to plate four of its own in the bottom of the inning to tie things at 4-all. Sullivan finished 2-for-4 on the day with three RBIs, adding an RBI single in the sixth for the 7-1 final score.
Richard Martin Jr. (Florida) went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in the fourth inning to give the Braves the lead for good while Gavin Collins (Mississippi St.), also 2-for-4, added an RBI single in the fifth for a 6-4 lead.
Mercer's Eric Nyquist (2-2) earned the win with two innings of one-hit, shutout relief and Joey Strain (Winthrop) worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save, tying him with Y-D's Phil Bickford for most in the league.
FALMOUTH — Rice's Kevin McCanna became the leagues first five-game winner, leading the Commodores to a shutout win over the Gatemen at Guv Fuller Field.
McCanna (5-2) held Chatham (14-18-1) to four hits and two walks while fanning six over 5 1/3 innings to help Falmouth improve to 19-14-1. Matt Hollenbeck (Georgetown) and Matt Eckelman (St. Louis) pitched hitless ball for the next 2 2/3 innings before Conor Costello (Oklahoma St.) worked out of a bases loaded jam in the ninth for his first save.
North Carolina's Zac Gallen (0-3) came out on the short end of things for the Anglers, despite allowing two runs over six innings of three hit ball.
Cameron O'Brien (West Virginia) singled in Steven Duggar (Clemson) and Kevin Newman (Arizona) scored on an error to give Falmouth a 2-0 lead in the fourth.
Newman added an RBI double in the eighth inning to add an insurance run. Newman, the defending Cape League batting champion, went 2-for-3 in the game to up his league leading average to .393.
SOUTH YARMOUTH — Leadoff hitter Jordan Tarsovich and the rest of his mates had their bats in the swing of things in a win over the Mariners at Red Wilson Field.
Tarsovich (VMI) set the table for Y-D (19-14), going 4-for-5 while driving in two and scoring three more as the Red Sox took advantage of 15 hits en route to the win.
Ramsey Romano (Michigan) added a 3-for-5 game for Y-D with two RBIs and a run scored while Timothy Wharton (Catawba) had a double and two RBIs, Andrew Stevenson (LSU) had two hits, including a double, an RBI and a run scored and Rob Fonseca (Northeastern) went 2-for-2.
Tarsovich's day included his third home run of the season, a ball that just hit the top of the fence in left center before going over for the home run.
The Red Sox threw the leather around as well, as right fielder Joey Armstrong (UNLV) laid out for a catch to rob Danny Zardon (LSU) of a hit in the second. Stevenson had a similar theft in the sixth, taking a potential extra base hit away from Angelo Amendolare (Jacksonville) with a sliding catch in center.
Illinois' Kevin Duchene (3-2) earned the win with 6 2/3 innings of one run ball.
BREWSTER — Vincent Fiori allowed just five hits over seven innings as the Kettleers blanked the Whitecaps at the Stony Brook Elementary School Field.
Fiori (South Carolina) struck out four and walked just one, exiting after a leadoff single in the bottom of the eighth inning. Adam Whitt (Nevada) recorded his fourth save with two innings of one-hit relief while striking out two.
Jameson Fisher (SE Louisiana) went 3-for-4 with a double for Cotuit (15-18-1), scoring the Kettleers first run on a Rhett Wiseman (Vanderbilt) sacrifice fly in the third.
Tres Barrera (Texas) hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning to provide the Kettleers with their final runs.
Scott Kingery (Arizona) went 2-for-4 for Brewster (12-21).
WAREHAM — Chris Chinea singled through the left side of the infield to plate Blake Lacey with the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth in a win over the Firebirds at Clem Spillane Field.
Lacey (USC) reached on an infield error to start the inning, moved to second on a walk to Charlie Warren (Rice) and scored from second on the single by Chinea (LSU).
Chinea's game-winner made a victor out of Georgia Southern's Jason Richman (2-2), who allowed Orleans three hits over 1 1/3 of shutout ball.
The Firebirds (20-13-1) took a 2-1 lead on a two-run single by David Thompson (Miami) in the fifth inning, but the Gatemen knotted things back up on an RBI single by Lacey in the seventh.
Jose Cuas (Maryland) gave Wareham a 1-0 lead in the fourth on an RBI single.
Lacey finished 3-for-4 for the Gatemen while Corey Ray (Louisville) added two hits.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I'm a woman in my 30s, and I've never had an abnormal Pap test. Do I still need one every year?
DEAR READER: The answer used to be yes. This helped ensure that you had regular Pap tests to screen for cervical cancer. But new guidelines recommend less frequent Pap tests for younger women, and no Pap tests for many older women.
The new guidelines, issued in 2012, revised the recommendations for cervical cancer screening. They suggest that women ages 21 to 65 have a Pap test every three years or, for women ages 30 to 65 who want to lengthen the screening interval, have a combination Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV) test only once every five years. (Most cervical cancers are caused by specific types of HPV, a sexually transmitted virus.)
In addition, most women ages 65 and older and women who have had a hysterectomy (and no longer have a cervix) do not need to have Pap tests. The exceptions are women with a history of precancerous cells, cervical cancer or abnormal Pap/HPV tests.
The new recommendations stem from a better understanding of how cervical cancer develops. It doesn't develop very rapidly. Rather, there are clear precancerous stages that take years to progress.
For cervical cancer and many other cancers, our screening tests are not perfect. With a perfect test, every time it came back abnormal there would really be a cancer – and that would justify additional invasive diagnostic tests. And with a perfect test, every time it came back normal you could know for sure that you were free of that cancer.
The bottom line: You still need the Pap (and the HPV) test, but not as often as you did in the past.

|Gift Art and Stories from members and friends. I'd love everyone to appreciate the work they've done.~
|Experimenting putting my commission list on the front page to see if this helps people understand how to read.
These are base prices! Meaning I could if necessary add more of a charge to a commission depending on what it is, how detailed you want it, etc etc.
Black and white commissions.
From chibi commissions £13.00/$22.00 + £5.00/$9.00 for additional character or background.
To full image character commissions £16.00/$27.50 + £8.00/$14.00 for addition character or background.
Basic Colour commissions.
From chibi commissions £17.00/$28.00 + £11.00/$17.00 for additional character or background.
To full image character commissions £24.00/$38.00 + £13.00/$22.00 for additional character or background.
Full Detail Commissions.
From chibi commissions £20.00/$35.00 + £13.00/$22.00 for additional character or background.
To full image character commissions £34.00/$55.00 + £17.00/$28.00 for additional character or background.
Comic Strips.
From £40.00/$64.00 upwards. Comic Commission may go up to £70.00/$107.00 or more depending.
Also, some commissioners in the past ask for "strips" and then ask for a large amount of stuff to be added to it which can't be done. Think about the amount before you ask, if you're unsure. Please ask me, majority of the time. Your commission needs to be a page.
Important Information/FAQ
Please Read
Are these set prices?
No, its not set in stone. Prices could vary considering what people ask for and how difficult it may be.
What kind of art do you do?
I will give a simple list, but the best thing I suggest is tell me what you want. I won't judge, I'll simply give a yes or no to what you ask for. It may not be a case of "Oh dear god no, that's disgusting you freak." It could just be a case of "Even if I did attempt it, I really don't think it would be what you expected."
Gender twists
Fanart - Game character, anime characters, etc.
Kinky stuff. (ask lol)
How do we pay?
Paypal....just paypal. No exceptions.
When do we pay?
I don't enjoy when people pay just before I start. I prefer they pay either when I finish the commission or if I'm half way done with the commission. I don't show the image until they have paid unless they want a sample sketch of what's been done so far. Once payment is ready to be received, I pass on my email address to my Paypal account you will need.
If I tell you names of people I want you to draw, will you just do it?
No, I'm not going to know names of many characters whether they be from an anime/manga/game/tv series/etc. I need image references of the character you're wanting me to draw whether it's yourself or anyone. I need photos or image references. So PLEASE give references of who you want. If you can't provide reference, give a full detail description. I can never seem to stress that enough with people. If you do give references for characters, they need to be good full body references so I know what they look like or it'll slow down the procedure of your commission. If there's certain mannerisms, abilities or anything towards the character you want involved. Provide a video or images.
Once you've done the commission, do you post it in deviantART?
Not all the time. Some things I may not feel overly fond about showing in the gallery.
Can I post it in my gallery?
You've paid for the piece, As long as you don't claim it as your own and credit me for the work at hand, then that's fine.
Please don't complain about the prices. If they are too expensive for you, I couldn't care less for people's comments at me just because I should give you free things. Bills aren't cheap and can't be paid with fresh fucking air.~ I'm trying to make a living.
The exchange rate also changes a lot, so I'm having to change prices all the time.
Also, I will charge for constantly chop and changes if you wish to have things done over and over. I won't be taken advantage. If you want a lot of things changed, I will charge you a fee. I don't mind criticism, but I don't do constant changes.
Easiest way to go about it is a form to help.
Type of Commission: <Meaning what do you want out of the choices given you such as outline, full colour or a comic>
Commission Description: <A very detailed description of what you want. If it's a full image, give all detail on everything you can see in your mind. If it's a comic, give detail of each individual panel>
References: <Links to high quality pictures or photos for characters and people involved in the commission. If not, a very descriptive analysis of the persons features. I only accept videos based on any abilities you want involved, or to explain certain mannerisms. Be aware, I can refuse to draw a character or person.>
Have More Questions?
If you do have anymore questions, please be sure to note me. ==> my.deviantart.com/notes/#tk=dA… <== here.
Hello there! I'm HomunculusLover.
As you may have noticed my gallery contains the anime/manga styled art which yes, I'm sure many see as being quite overrated, but I don't care for opinions. My work tends to be a combination of cute and fetish. Though being a fetish artist, usually things that aren't fetish related don't really get much looks in by the people watching me. The curse of being a fetish artist.~ But alas, I enjoy the work I do here and there. I try to work very hard on it, though like many artists, there's still so much to learn.

Scouting Report
– Hayes said his team is peaking at the right time. … He also said he hopes his team doesn't lose any of its timing since it will be a week since last playing. … The Hawks have prepared for the different scenery and depth perception they will face at the Mississippi Coliseum – with the goals rolled in instead of hanging from the ceiling – by practicing at other gyms. … Hayes said Bownes, a junior, has "matured very fast," and Dowdy, a junior, has been "consistent throughout the years."
– Coach: Norris Ashley

Scouting Report
– Senior players Clay Kidd, Tyler McCay, Tyler Jarvis, Carnell and Purvis lead an Ingomar defense that allowed only 52.8 points per game during the North Tournament. … Ingomar needs to get the ball in the hands of shooting guard Purvis and big man Carnell as much as possible, as the two have had a hot hand in the postseason, combining to average 44.8 points in four North Tournament games. … The Falcons' outside shooting has been dismal of late: 4 of 19 vs. Ray Brooks and 2 of 17 vs. Myrtle.
– Coach: Jonathan Ashley

Sometimes it helps not to have skin in the game.

text: 16 and Pregnant Actually Reduced Teen Births: Study MTV reality shows may act as deterrent: researchers By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Jan 13, 2014 10:37 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (62) (Newser) – If you thought MTV's 16 and Pregnant and all its related spinoffs glorified teen pregnancy, here's a surprise for you: The reality shows likely reduced teen births by almost 6%, preventing more than 20,000 of them in 2010 alone, according to a new study. The National Bureau of Economic Research compared Nielsen television ratings to birth records, and found that in areas where teens watched more MTV in the period after 16 and Pregnant debuted, the teen pregnancy rate declined more quickly than in other areas, the New York Times reports. The study accounted for the fact that those who watched the show might have been at higher risk of a teen pregnancy. "The assumption we're making is that there's no reason to think that places where more people are watching more MTV in June 2009, would start seeing an excess rate of decline in the teen birthrate, but for the change in what they were watching," says a researcher. Other researchers who reviewed the paper say the results seem sound. Another interesting finding: Whenever 16 and Pregnant was being aired, Internet searches and social media postings related to contraception went up significantly (UPI reports that searches on abortion also spiked). Teen viewers explain that the shows illustrate how hard it is to be a young parent. In this image from video released by MTV, teen mother Maci is shown with her son Bentley in a scene from the teen reality series, "Teen Mom."

Toyota Installs Electric Mobility Sharing Station at Toyota City Model Eco District Toyota City, Japan, May 7, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that it has installed a Smart Mobility Park electric mobility charging station at Toyota Ecoful Town, its low-carbon society model district located in Toyota City. While functioning as a hub for electric mobility sharing, the Smart Mobility Park can also generate and store electrical power, making it possible to reduce the burden on the electricity grid. The station is based on the Toyota Smart Mobility Park concept unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and features two main aspects: 1. Electric Mobility Sharing Hub The station functions as a hub for electric mobility vehicle sharing for short distance travel and is planned for use as a Ha:mo(1) Ride(2) station from autumn this year. Ha:mo Ride is an electric mobility sharing service for short distances such as the last few kilometers from the nearest public transportation point to a final destination. Three "COMS" (produced by Toyota Auto Body) ultra-compact single-occupant electric vehicles (EVs), and five "PAS" (produced by Yamaha Motor) power-assisted bicycles have been set up for users to try out. Vehicle rental is automated through the use of IC cards for authentication and vehicle unlocking, and test drives of the COMS and PAS are possible within Toyota Ecoful Town. 2. Energy Management and Power Generation, Storage and Supply The station is equipped with solar power generating and electricity storage functions so that it can charge vehicles using independently generated electricity or power-grid electricity. It is also fitted with general household power outlets so that, in times of emergency, it can also supply stored electricity to electrical appliances. Station monitor displays show electricity-related information such as generation and storage, power grid usage and vehicle charging status. Values are measured minute-by-minute and energy is managed so that electricity stored during the night can be used to supplement insufficient power generation during the day. Based on data gathered from households participating in Toyota City energy data management systems (EDMS) verification tests(3), TMC plans to work with regional EDMS to manage energy for charging stations and reduce the burden on regional power grids. Since October 2012, TMC has been testing the urban transportation system Ha:mo in cooperation with Toyota City and transportation operators(4). Four vehicle stations have been set up in Toyota City at Chukyo University and its nearest public transport points to provide 11 COMS and 10 PAS units for use in the Ha:mo Ride electric mobility sharing service. This autumn, TMC plans to expand the service area to central Toyota City and provide a fee-based service using approximately 100 ultra-compact single-occupant EVs and 100 power-assisted bicycles at 20 stations for 1,000 members.

"I would rather die of passion than of boredom." – Vincent Van Gogh
I have friends, many friends to be precise, who annually choose a word to use as a touchstone or a reminder of how they want to live for the year. Over the years, I've marveled at the wonderful words they've chosen to guide their lives. I love the simplicity and beauty of having just one word to keep in check and stay on track.
For the past several years, as the year's end approaches, I've watched as one friend and then another announces their annual word. I too have searched for the perfect word to guide my year. Instead, I struggle and in the end am unable to come up with single word for myself.
So while my friends sashayed into each new years with words like "curiosity" and "freedom" and "purpose" and "wonder" and "fierce" attached to them, I trudged along behind them wordless.
It was disheartening to say the least.
A couple of months ago, I was docenting a group of high school students through the art at the High Museum. They were researching a writing project for school and the information I provided would figure into the final assignment. Concerned that I had covered the topic adaquately, I checked with one of the teachers to make sure I had hit all the required points. She reassured me that I had and then added, "I really enjoyed your tour today. You're so passionate about art."
I appreciated the compliment, and I really loved that she recognized how much I love sharing art with people. It's true. I am passionate about art.
Over the next several weeks this word "passion" kept coming up. A friend comment on my "passion" regarding a topic we were discussing. An acquaintance noted my "passion" on a particular subject. People began to say things to me like, "wow, you're really passionate about that" or "I love your passion." I found the frequency the word was being attached to me…curious.
I ruminated on the word "passion" for a bit. I turned it over in my mind many times. Finally, I came to this conclusion.
I like feeling excited about the people and things which I surround myself. I want to have an "intense desire and enthusiasm" for my life. When I love open heartedly, when I live my life with intensity, when I throw myself body, mind, and soul into what I'm doing, I find it exhilarating even though this level of intensity can be more than a little intimidating.
I placed the "word" on the back burner because "passion" is kind of a big "word" and I'm not one of those people who has a "word," and I began making plans for 2015. Without giving it any thought, as I contemplated the projects I would take on this upcoming year, I found myself asking the following questions:
Am I truly, deeply passionate about this?
I had to consider that in spite of my resistance (or because of it) that maybe, just maybe "passion" is a good word for me to use as a touchstone or a reminder of how I want to live in 2015. Throwing caution to the wind, I decided "passion" it is and I immediately felt apprehensive and excited and nervous and more than a little scared.
Then I realized that this is just as it should be. If your touchstone, if your reminder for how you live is with "passion" then being apprehensive and excited and nervous and more than a little scared is probably about right. In any event, it defintly beats bored.Read More
I recently had the pleasure of being in Miami for nine days to experience for the second time what is known as Art Basel Week. Galleries from all over the world descend on this tropical paradise bringing with them the best works of art they have to offer. Between the weather and the art, it's what I imagine heaven to be.
Last year, my son, Mac, who is an artist, and I visited as many fairs as we could in the three days we were in town. This year we decided to spend more time in Miami so we could attend more fairs, spend added time at the ones we liked, swing through galleries (Mac had friends having shows), and also visit several private collections opened to the public.
I invested a lot of time and had a calendar laid out before we left to guarantee we could see it all (my husband says I can turn anything into a military campaign). The first three days went as planned then, by perchance, Mac met an artist friend. He invited Mac to assist him and his collaborator on a mural they were doing the next day.
As Mac went happily off to paint, I went happily off to the art fairs. It was a long day of painting as they had to finish, and I ended up wandering through the streets of Wynwood, a warehouse area in Miami that has been transformed into a community art gallery by artists from around the world who've graced it's walls with murals.
There were a lot of artists out painting and it was fun to watch their visions take shape. Most of the time, when I passed, they were "in their zone," and I was able to admire their work unobserved. Occasionally, if they needed a break; they'd pop out earbuds and engage me in a lovely conversation about their work.
During this time, I happened to chat with a gentleman who owned a building in Wynwood. Half joking and half serious, I told him that he should let my son paint on his building. He said no. I told him I was going to show him my son's paintings (sue me, I'm a mom) and then he could tell me no again.
I showed him one photo that was a detail of a painting Mac had done. The owner glanced at the photo and without a second of hesitation said yes, Mac could paint a wall on his building. Still in shock, I was escorted by the owner to a wall that was, approximately sixty feet long and eighteen feet high. That's a big wall.
After Mac wrapped work on his friends' mural, he went by the wall. Other than a couple of markers, he had no supplies with him, we still had a lot of art to see, he really didn't want to paint over the mural that was already there, and, like I said, the wall was big. The owner said that the mural on the wall had been up long enough. He said that either Mac could take the wall or he'd eventually give it to another artist. Mac contemplated the task ahead and finally decided to do it.
As Mac began to paint the next day, area artists began to stop by. One, needing a break from the tedium of his own project, helped paint for a bit. Another, discovering Mac had no ladders, offered up the ones he had used as he had finished his mural and no longer needed them. They chased off taggers after we left for the night and even buffed over tags. An artist from Atlanta who was in town for the fairs, spent half a day painting with Mac. They shared their work, admired his, shook hands, gave hugs and encouragement, and made sure Mac knew they had his back.
Each artist was as different and unique as their artwork. Some were quiet and reserved while others were boisterous and fun loving. Some wore clothes splattered with paint while others were crisp and paint free. While they came in all shapes and all sizes, I started to notice they had a few things in common.
They all had an intense love and respect not only for art, but also for the artist that created the work even if that work was unlike their own. They believed deeply in their artistic vision, in the work they were doing, and were proud of what they'd accomplished. In spite of this, they were incredibly and amazingly humble. Most importantly they were all about the work. They were in Miami to make art and before the fairs, the shows, the galleries, or the parties and fun happened they made sure they got the work done. They left no doubt that the work was their priority.
Others stopped by as well. There was the little French girl who theatrically threw up her arms loudly complaining for half a day that that she should have been the one painting the wall instead. There was the guy who periodically walked by and glared at Mac before returning to his mural. There were the people who roved the neighborhood with spray cans painting on and over any and everything they saw with no regard for property or the art that was already there. There were those that stopped by, telling Mac about all the parties they had attended, who they had met, and how hungover they were.
And as I watched all of this unfold, I realized there are artists and then there are assholes and it became crystal clear to me which camp I prefer.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against putting on a cute dress, eating nice food, and hanging out with interesting people. I've done it before and will do it again. When it's all said and done, I hope that I'm remembered for more than just that.
I'm not an artist. But like the artists I met, I hope that I'm remembered for the love and passion I share, for the work I do, and for being the type of person who supports others on my path.
We planned that our time in Miami would be steeped in art work. Instead we spent our time steeped in artists. Steeped in the love and beauty and joy and support and respect that true artists have for themselves, their work, and others. For those of you who were part of our Miami experience, thank for reminding me what art and life are really all about. You remain in my heart.Read More
Lately my life has been full.
My oldest is home with all his worldly possessions after serving five years in the Marines. My middle has taken over the entire basement with his art studio. My youngest, who is wrapping up her last year of high school, is barely contained in her girly suite.
We have four cars with a fifth one in the plans and a two car garage. Getting in and out requires a game of musical cars from time to time. My and my husband's home offices are buzzing with activity. Then there's the holidays with extra food, decorations, and gifts being tucked away in every available crevice and corner.
I find myself holding onto things I normally don't hold onto. Larger boxes to wrap Christmas presents, the set of dishes I haven't used in several years, towels, pots and pans, and random glasses and bowls. I keep the two benches that don't have a purpose, chairs that don't match, a side table I no longer need, and picture frames, lots of picture frames. There's a tangle of Christmas lights in a box and cache of gift wrap in the upstairs closet.
And I feel full, almost stuffed to uncomfortable. I itch to load it up and haul it away. To clear the rooms. To make space.
Then I remember.
The holidays will come and go and the larger boxes and extra food and gift wrap and tangle of lights will be put to good use. They will induce smiles and laughter. They will bring us together in ways we can't yet imagine and in their wake create memories we will hold onto forever.
The oldest is making plans to go to college and get a house. He'll leave taking all his worldly possessions plus one of the cars plus some of the towels and pots and pans and random chairs and picture frames. I hope he finds a need for a bench or two and will be grateful to see things I no longer need put to good use as he starts his new life in his new home.
The middle will move and the art studio that hums along with his creativity will once again become any empty labyrinth of rooms that I won't traverse. He'll take a car and a bed and a couch and a television. He'll take the shelves that hold his cans of paint and the paint covered tables on which he works. The hum in the basement, the artistic energy, will dissipate leaving a void in it's wake.
The youngest has college in her sites and will be moving into a dorm next fall. She'll take a car, her clothes, and the futon from the basement. I anticipate that she'll keep her room here, at least for another year or two, but the stuff she uses everyday will go with her and the room will be a place she visits on occasion and no longer a place that she lives.
And the rest? The things they don't take? All that remains?
I will load it up and haul it away. I will clear the rooms. I will make space.
It will feel good and a little lonely and somewhat sad.
Full will not last forever.
So, I decide that today I going to overlook the clutter, I won't worry over items crammed into crevices and corners, and I'm choosing to ignore the things that have not yet been put to good use. Today I'm playing musical cars with a smile as I walk past the shelves that are over flowing. Today I'm enjoying full.Read More
This post is really only for the person who finds themselves being swallowed by their possessions and who sincerely want to change their situation. If you're happy just the way you are, by all means, carry on.
The first step to decluttering is to stop buying new stuff.
If we really want to get a handle on the stuff we have, we first have to stop adding to it. We have to commit for a month, a week, a day, that before purchasing anything new we will make sure that 1. we don't already have one, that 2. we don't have something else that can get the job done just as well, that 3. we can't wait and make the purchase later, or that 4. we maybe, just maybe, can get by without the item.
Not buying stuff is challenging. Not running to the store to get that thing-we-are-convinced-will-make-our-lives-oh-so-much-better is a difficult habit to break. Making due is not always fun. Not distracting ourselves from the grind of our lives with a trip to the mall to look at pretty stuff and letting go of the high we get from the purchase isn't easy. None of this is easy. I know first hand.
So, why should we stop buying new stuff?
We stop for the peace and clarity of mind that comes from knowing how much stuff we have and being able to find it when we need it. We stop because having less stuff means we have more money and more time to invest in the people and things in which we truly care. We stop because we want to live lives that are focused on people and experiences, not things.
Easier said than done? Always. A constant practice? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.Read More

How Much Money Do Bankers Make Now?
A lot, of course. The New York Times reports that Goldman Sachs, "which only recently paid back its government bailout money, will report blowout profits from trading on Tuesday"—$2 billion in four months. The company is set to pay out $18 billion in compensation this year, which works out to over $600,000 per employee. In addition to the TARP money it received, Goldman was a major beneficiary of the federal government's bailout of AIG. But, you know, everyone does this sort of thing, so it's all good. Move along now—nothing to see here.

£41k project to make it easier for disabled people to get around north Cambridge
Posted: July 21, 2014|
Getting around north Cambridge should become easier for wheelchair users thanks to a £41,000 project.
The cash was allocated by councillors to provide more dropped kerbs around Arbury, King's Hedges and the two Chesterton wards.
Shopping areas and neighbourhoods with sheltered housing schemes will be targeted under the scheme, which was approved by the city council's north area committee.
The project was proposed by East Chesterton's Cllr Gerri Bird, who uses a wheelchair and campaigns for disability rights.
Cllr Bird said: "Dropped kerbs are such a simple way to improve accessibility for the elderly and disabled and prevent them being trapped and isolated in their homes.
"So far they have been done on an ad hoc basis one by one but this money means we can take a good look at local shopping areas and places with sheltered housing and make a real difference for many.
"Shopping or going round to see friends should be a pleasure for all, not an assault course for some."
It is hoped up to 16 junctions could be improved under the project.
Cllr Bird, who is serving as mayor of Cambridge this year, added: I want to see all new developments incorporate dropped kerbs as standard but we also need to tackle the existing pavements.
"This is a good start and I hope we can show what can be done and encourage similar area-based schemes across the whole city."
In total councillors allocated £82,000 under their environmental improvement programme.
Projects getting the nod, subject to consultation, include a £2,000 refurbishment of the war memorial in St Giles' Church in Castle Street, and purchase of new benches for Brownsfield and Bramblefield nature reserve in East Chesterton.
The council will also make a contribution towards introduction of new parking controls in the Vie estate, suggested by Cllr Ian Manning.

Are you confused about your Experian Credit Score changing?
If you do see a change, this may be because we have recently updated how we calculate the Experian Credit Score to make sure it remains as accurate as possible and closely reflects how lenders may view your credit history. If this is the case rest assured that this won't affect your chances of getting credit.
The Experian Credit Score is a guide that will help you understand how lenders are likely to view your credit history when you make an application and to help track your progress if you are working to improve the picture your credit history paints. For more information, visit our score update help page.

At eighteen, Anna is in limbo. She has decisions to make but stalls for time. Deferring her university studies in Australia, she visits her father in Shanghai. In an exotic environment, her life seems both better and worse: she loves learning Chinese painting but can't cope with being a foreigner, or with the chaos and heat of the city.
Then the last thing she could have imagined happens: she falls in love with Chenxi, a young, mysterious fellow painter whose secret life in art and counter-revolutionary activities fascinates Anna. Their affair is passionate and fraught.
Sally Rippin writes with a natural flair and an insider's voice about the torment of a teenager on the verge of adulthood. She evokes the thrills and spills of being a foreigner in the topsy-turvy world of China.
Chenxi is a remarkable novel for young adults that confronts adolescent sexual experience, pregnancy and cross-cultural questions in an extraordinarily vivid and compelling story.
