To the Old Year adieu, Great joy to the new
January 5th is the twelfth night of the 12 days of Christmas. Those of the Celtic persuasion would drink the wassail tonight and pass a cake into which a token was placed. The person to find the token was king or queen of the twelfth night. http://historiccamdencounty.com/ccnews93.shtml

HI -- I have a Loop Loc pool cover that attaches to brass anchors in the flagstone patio. The cover straps are spring loaded and put alot of pressure on the anchors. My problem is the install was bad -- poor placement of anchors-- so that several have pulled out and/or cracked the flagstone that they are in. I want to reinforce these -- I was thinking of pouring Quickcrete anchoring cement in the hole and then re-inserting the anchors. THoughts? ALternate suggstions? Do I need to make the hole for the anchor bigger if I am going to add cement??> Thanks in advance for any advice!

- Anchoring brass sleaves in flagstone
I think I would abondon the old anchor holes and have new ones drilled were they will be stronger than the first. There are a lot of different types of anchors that would be good for this, you might look into other types of anchors that can support more of a sheer load than the ones you previously had. If you do use the same holes it may be necessary to drill the holes bigger and use the next size up anchor then that you are currently using. Hope this may help you.
I would believe that below the flagstone there would be a poured concrete base. If there is this is what you should be anchoring to not the decorative flagstone. I would suggest using an adhesive anchor near the location of the failed anchorage. If you contact me I can try to get more specific information from you and help Bruce Bledsoe at wej-it Fastening Systems 800-722-8063 or [email protected]

I'm always using DeSmuME, because it's more up to date than what No$GBA is, No$GBA is outdated and has been discontinued as of 2008. DeSmuME has already passed the boundries of No$GBA since 2009. I've heard some rumors that DeSmuME 0.9.7 has fixed the issue with HeartGold and SoulSilver slowing down and freezing, now that shows... Anti-Piracy thingy really is just a code that an Emulator or Flashcard hasn't gotten to read properly yet (like the EXP problem in Black/White). I'm sure Nintendo only updates to use codings that haven't been used yet on a DS.

The most important part of any game rather its store bought or not is the abiity to PLAY THE GAME. Des works good on some games but I prefer No$zoomer/GBA for its speed.
Try going to Tools > Emulation Options in DeSmuME and unselect the "Advanced Bus Timer", it's always turned on by default and is what usually lags DeSmuME.

Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC edition review -
FrameTime and Game Experience Analysis
Tomb Raider
Above GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost
Above Radeon HD 7790
Tomb Raider then - Butter smooth for both cards, the frametime latency is so low that it it almost can't be charted. We measured the standard benchmark for the first 30 seconds.
Unigine Heaven Benchmark
Above GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost
Above Radeon HD 7790
Above Unigine Heaven - I wanted to include a synthetic test as well. Unigine Heaven is very well suited for that. Over the 30 seconds measured there are a couple significant spikes for both cards displayed. The reality is that this one translates in a small visible glitch for a fraction of a second on screen that you'll hardly even notice. In fact only with the trained eye you can notice these things.
This is my message to you guys, frametime measurements have been taken out of proportion. What you see in these charts sometimes looks alarming with massive spike, whilst your average end-user will never ever even see it on screen.

Shaq Thompson Involved In Head on Collision
CPcavedweller replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersI'm not saying that you shouldn't sleep if you drink. Simply that people, particularly young people, will stay up until three o'clock drinking and think that sleeping it off consists of sleeping three hours and then driving. At that point they believe they are hungover when in actuality they are still quite impaired.
Shaq Thompson Involved In Head on Collision
CPcavedweller replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersWaiting until the next day does not matter. It isn't like your body says, "welp, you slept for 3 hours, all alcohol GONE!". This is a very dangerous misconception. Due to the fact that metabolism slows during sleep, alcohol is actually broken down slower while you sleep than it would if you were awake, thus you are actually retaining more alcohol. Sleeping is dangerous.
Shaq Thompson Involved In Head on Collision
CPcavedweller replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersThat is what most people think. "Hey, i'll go to bed for a couple of hours and all the alcohol will leave my body by evaporation." No....sleep does not help, coffee does not help, showers do not help. Getting on a treadmill and chugging water while you run will help.

Shaq Thompson Involved In Head on Collision
CPcavedweller replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersIf you don't understand the way alcohol is broken down I will give you a very simple explanation. Breaks down at approximately .0175 g/100 g of blood per hour. 12 FL Oz. of 5% alcohol gives about a .02 BAC per drink. Thus, if you are up drinking even a 6 pack until 2 AM and you don't start until 12 AM, you will still have alcohol in your system at 7:00 AM. Your statement implies that he was up at 7:00 AM drinking and I highly doubt this is the case. After a night of heavy drinking, many of you would be surprised to learn that alcohol likely isn't completely out of your system until 3:00 PM or later.

CPcavedweller replied to section543's topic in Carolina PanthersI have nerve damage that consists of issues with drop foot and the inability to swing my foot in a certain direction. Once the injury to the nerve occurred and after it was reconnected, I didn't even gain an inch of regular sensation in my leg. It is possibly that the nerve will never recover because once the sheath and nerve inside are severed, the cells begin to die below that point immediately and nerve regeneration is mostly science fiction at this point.

CPcavedweller replied to ctrcat's topic in Carolina PanthersIt's pretty simple: he did throw her on the bed that happened to have guns on it and maybe tackled her to get her to stop being as belligerent as he said she was and other witnesses said she was being.

The Canadian government's recent approval of Chinese oil giant CNOOC's $15 billion bid to take over Nexen gives CNOOC oil assets in the North Sea, West Africa, the Gulf of Mexico, and Western Canada, as well as oil sands and shale gas. The deal will help the Chinese outfit obtain a more balanced, international portfolio and provide it with more expertise to explore its own energy sources, notes Macquarie Securities oil and gas analyst James Hubbard. It's good for the stock and not likely to be the last Chinese foray abroad for oil.

Foreign investment interest in them took off seven years ago when they listed. Warren Buffett was an investor in Petrochina at its initial public offering in early 2006, later selling out for a $3.5 billion profit.
Why is China starting to make foreign acquisitions? It produces about four million barrels of oil a day and consumes about 10 million, leaving a deficit of roughly 6 million barrels a day. With its economy growing at 7.5% a year, its oil needs are increasing at a fast clip. By 2020, China is expected to consume about 15 million barrels a day. Domestic production can't possibly keep up, and so imports are growing. To ensure security of supply, China has a set up an aggressive program to buy oil assets around the world from oil companies active in Africa. Beijing has said it wants to control 25% of the oil it imports. A bid by CNOOC, a state-owned entity, for the U.S. oil company Unocal was rejected by the U.S. on security grounds in 2005.
The Nexen (NXY.Canada) deal will allow CNOOC to bring gas in the form of liquid natural gas to China, says David Hewitt, global co-head of oil and gas research for Credit Suisse in Singapore. "With Nexen, CNOOC gets key skill sets in shale gas and deepwater exploration and production, augmenting their domestic aspirations in deep waters of the South China Sea and their large shale aspirations in onshore China."
China may have 125 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the South China Sea and 498,000 trillion cubic feet of gas in deep water. "It will be a global game changer if they genuinely can accelerate and apply deepwater processes in their own territory," says Hewitt.
The Credit Suisse analyst says "instead of making Nexen simply its satellite, CNOOC wants to keep the international upstream culture of Nexen so they can effectively absorb it and become more of an international entity itself."
Taking a leaf out of the successful U.S. playbook, China has set aggressive targets for domestic shale-gas production. Beijing has set a target of six billion cubic meters from shale gas in 2015 and 60 to 100 billion cubic meters by 2020. The targets are so audacious that analysts see little chance of achieving them. Still, they are spurring Chinese oil companies to take shale gas more seriously.
The deal should help CNOOC stock. Macquarie's Hubbard recommends the shares, with a target price of 21 Hong Kong dollars ($2.71), or 25% above recent prices. CNOOC sells at 8.8 times 2012 earnings and has a 2.3% dividend yield. HSBC also recommends CNOOC. The Nexen deal adds about 8% to its earnings, 20% to production volume, and nearly 30% to reserves if CNOOC were to be consolidated this year, notes Thomas Hilboldt, head of oil and gas research at HSBC in Hong Kong.
China's appetite for overseas assets has not been sated, and CNOOC is expected to keep pushing for deals wherever it can.
Lacking a fiscal cliff, Asia continues to gain. Shanghai had its best week in 14 months.

Choosing the Amarillo Small Business of the Year is nearly an impossible task.
Dozens of outstanding smaller companies help keep our local economy strong. Nevertheless, the Chamber of Commerce Business Council is in the process of judging applicants in our 2004 Jim Henson Top Small Business Awards program. The Small Business of the Year will come out of that selection process, and awards will be announced Sept. 23 at a luncheon sponsored by the chamber and Bank One.
The awards are named after the late Jim Henson, who as chamber vice president of business development, helped promote the growth of the top small business program before his death in 2003. From the 35 companies nominated, 18 businesses applied for the awards. John Cooley, dean of the West Texas A&M University T. Boone Pickens College of Business, heads a business council committee that is making the final selections.
Nominated businesses can have no more than 100 full-time employees, applicants must have been established for five years as of Aug. 9 and must be locally owned. A business does not have to be a chamber member to be nominated or chosen as a winner.
For more information, contact John Teague or project coordinator Sylvia Frisbie at 373-7800.

By RFE/RL's Georgian Service
Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili's government also wants to take the power to name governors away from the president.
Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili says President Mikheil Saakashvili should vacate the presidential palace.
Ivanishvili told journalists on November 2 it was too expensive for the Georgian government to maintain the building.
The prime minister said the spending on the palace was "immoral" and that savings could be used to help the "many refugees and poor citizens in our country."
According to Ivanishvili, the state pays $500,000 per year just for the palace's electricity bills.
The prime minister suggested that the president and his staff could work in part of Tbilisi's State Chancellery building.
Ivanishvili's Georgian Dream coalition defeated Saakashvili's United National Movement party in parliamentary elections a month ago. (Georgian Service,)
In related news, the government is working on a new law giving the cabinet the power to appoint regional governors.
That power is currently held by the president.
Regional Development and Infrastructure Minister David Narmania told journalists on November 2 that the law did not require a constitutional change and would be sent for consideration by parliament.
According to Narmania, regional governors represent the government and therefore they should not be presidential appointees.
President Saakashvili's United National Movement party was defeated by Ivanishvili's Georgian Dream coalition in parliamentary elections last month.

A June 15th trial date has been set in the case of suspended New Orleans Saints players Charles Grant and Will Smith, former Saints running back Deuce McAllister and Minnesota Vikings players Pat Williams and Kevin Williams.
Pretrial motions will be heard beginning May 14.
The NFL Players Association filed a federal lawsuit against the NFL on the players' behalf in December, hoping to overturn their four-game suspensions for violating the league's policy on steroids and related substances.
All five players tested positive for a banned diuretic, bumetanide, which they claim was an unlisted ingredient in an over-the-counter weight loss product called StarCaps.
The NFLPA is arguing that the league knew StarCaps was a tainted product but failed to properly warn players, and that the league-appointed arbitrator who ruled on their suspensions had a conflict of interest.

When our Tsingtao brewery tour guide first opened her mouth, my friends and I exchanged a covert look of surprise and delight. We were expecting Chinese school-girl English.
After residing in Canada for almost three years now, I feel it is a safe accusation that North Americans love acronyms and initialisms. Many Brits will be familiar with how orange juice is often squeezed down to a more palatable 'OJ', but I was slow to understand 'ACL' despite many of you being able to recognise this as an anterior cruciate ligament. 'LMK' was an odd one too: known to the less lazy as 'let me know'. After a while, I did finally get used to the day-to-day abbreviations, but there are still a few phrases and words leaving me scratching my head today.
This is one I encountered in my second job in Canada: doing the day-to-day work in the local pub; although it's a term prevalent from Toronto to the Northwest Territories. When buying beer for the pub I tend for… Read more
Professional wailer and British music darling Adele once had her dressing room and catering requirements for a North American tour leaked onto the internet by TheSmokingGun.com. Her dressing room had to be stocked with things like brand new mugs and a packet of Marlboro Lights with a disposable lighter. The tour bus, meanwhile, had to be full of bite-size chocolate bars and the 'very best quality' red wine, while it bluntly stated that 'North American beer is NOT acceptable.'
A blanket, ignorant request by the Someone Like You singer, but a sentiment that is shared by many other Brits including myself before I moved here in 2011.
Traditionally it's quite true. Budweiser has soaked into the British public consciousness over the past couple of decades, from the three swamp-dwelling frogs croaking the beer's name in 1995, to the recent insistence of the American brewer to sponsor anything… Read more

Brought to you by the same family that runs the historic Baird House B&B is in, comes this beautiful riverfront home in peaceful Valle Crucis!
The main level of the home has a great room with a vaulted ceiling. A warm and welcoming atmosphere is promoted from the rich black leather furnishings and a gas log fireplace with a 50" HDTV mounted above it. The fully stocked kitchen has granite counters and everything you would need to create tasty snacks and meals for the entire group, and the hand-painted red dining table is the perfect place to enjoy all your gourmet creations.
One master suite is to the left of the great room, with a King bed and TV and a private bathroom with a shower. There is another bedroom next to it, with a set of Twin bunk beds. To the right of the great room is a bathroom and two bedrooms, each with a Queen bed. A tree theme runs through the décor of each room, manifested in a unique way in each bedroom.

An early Spring ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail
In late March we drove to Damascus, VA ( a 50 minute drive from the Baird House bed and breakfast into Tenn. then into Virginia, pretty close for a Boone bed and breakfast ), rented bikes & helmets from Adventure Damascus & took a van shuttle up to White Top Mountain to bike down the Virginia Creeper Trail. The trail is a former railroad line from White Top to Abingdon, VA.The ride down the mountain ( there is little pedaling because of the downward grade of the trail), which is 17 miles from White Top back to Damascus, took us 3 hours but we took our time. One can finish it quicker but why hurry? The trail goes down the mountain, through pastures, by huge rock formations, across the Appalachian Trail and across rivers & streams via restored train trestles. Take a picnic lunch & drinks in a backpack then stop along the way for lunch. Clean restrooms are located along the trail and a cafe or 2. We were really hungry after our ride so we ate at Quincy's restaurant wh/ is right next door to our bike rental place. Burgers & pizza were our choices which were really good.
Riding the Creeper is a highly recommended activity, is reasonably priced & a great way to spend a day. A noontime departure gives one plenty of time to enjoy the ride.
Flyfish at a Valle Crucis bed and breakfast
April 30, 2010 by Gary · Leave a Comment
Last weekend Jim, from Greer,SC and Derrick, from Summerfield, NC caught between them about a dozen trout in about an hour. Even though there were a lot of trout that got away these 2 guys had a blast fishing early before breakfast then later in the afternoon. One report I just read said fishing has been "phenomenal" lately for those using Frenchie nymphs, Copper Johns, pink pheasant tails, san juan worms and woolly buggers. I'm not a flyfisherman so I don't know about the lures I just mentioned but I do know that rooster tails & small spinner lures have worked for me in the past.
Since the Baird House is the only Boone area bed and breakfast and only Valle Crucis bed and breakfast located on the Watauga River it may be the perfect place to lure in a Rainbow ( Tom, a friend from Greensboro, caught the largest rainbow of his life here…19 inches ) or a Brown because the inn is only 43 paces ( I just paced it off to be exact ) from the inn. How's that for convenience & proximity? So, ladies bring your books ( the rocking chairs & porches are calling you ) and credit cards for shopping & guys bring your rods,tackle & waders.

Lindsay Lohan isn't the only celebrity invoking Marilyn Monroe this holiday season. On Friday in select cities around the U.S. and Canada, pop superstar -- and Smurfette -- Katy Perry will debut an extended seven-minute video for her new single, "The One That Got Away," with special early screenings of 'My Week With Marilyn.' Kitty Purry knows Oscar buzz when she hears it!
The official video for "The One That Got Away" (an awesome song which should totally get covered by Darren Criss on 'Glee,' FWIW) debuts on the Nov. 11 edition of 'The Ellen Degeneres Show.' Directed by Floria Sigismondi ('The Runaways'), "The One That Got Away" even has its very own trailer. Watch that below, and if you live in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal, click here to enter for a chance to see the special 'Marilyn' screenings.
'My Week With Marilyn' arrives in theaters on Nov. 23.

I am planning an overnight tour for my wife and I on our tandem. This will be our first such trip, and I am very excited. We have ridden supported rides overnight where we have camped but this will be different. I am asking for your advice on what all you would pack. I of course do not want any mechanical issues to ruin or make this trip any harder than it needs to be.
Day one will be around 90 miles with a planned lunch stop in town and an overnight stay at a nice Bed and Breakfast. They will take us by boat to a restaurant that evening and pick us up for a long tour/ride back after our dinner. Day two will be about 60 miles back home after what I hope is a good breakfast.
I plan to pull my burley nomad behind our Cannondale RT2 with a small sized rear bag as well. I know the burley is probably overkill, but we do not yet have a rear rack and bag and I do not want to purchase one since we already have the burley for now. I have a list of items that I plan on taking, but I just want to hear from the experts to be sure I do not forget anything. We will also have a little extra room so if you have any idea of something that might add a little to our trip, I would appreciate that as well. I want this to go off without a hitch! Thanks in advance.
The route is mostly flat with some small rolling hills around some lakes in Northern Indiana.

It says that the 64 bit XP is better than the 32 bit XP. But i dont understand what is it actually. Whats the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit XP. How 64 bit XP is better ?
It says that the 64 bit XP is better than the 32 bit XP. But i dont understand what is it actually. Whats the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit XP. How 64 bit XP is better ?
Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
To explain in simple words, the 64 bit OS processes at a faster speed than the 32 bit OS.
Just take example of Windows 95 and the newer windows versions. Windows 95 was a 16 bit OS while the newer versions like Windows 98, XP are 32 bit. The difference can just be identified by anyone by their speed, isn't it?
Just like that, now there is more advanced OS of 64 bit in XP which can give still better performance. However, they are usually used by the professionals as most of the softwares in the market are meant for 32 bit only.
AMD 64 x2 4800+
OCZ (2 x 512) DDR600
Whats 32-bit?
In computer architecture, 32-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are at most 32 bits (4 octets) wide. Also, 32-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. 32-bit is also a term given to a generation of computers in which 32-bit processors were the norm.
The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits is 0 through 4,294,967,295 or −2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 using twos complement encoding. Hence, a processor with 32-bit memory addresses can directly access 4 GB of byte-addressable memory.
Now lets see what 64-bit is:
In computer architecture, 64-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are at most 64 bits (8 octets) wide. Also, 64-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.
Now that we have the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit technologies on the table lets discuss in grandpas language how they differ. The biggest difference between the two is memory addressing: hence that 32-bit only can directly access memory up to 4 GB, while 64-bits can address memory up to 1000GB or 1 terabyte.
You will not be able to get the amount of power running 32 bit applications on a 64 bit system of the X64 processor & other hardware like RAM. You can run the X32 applications is alright on temporary situation, you would want to start getting the X64 versions as fast as you can. Otherwise, there is not any reason to upgrade to X64 versions.
Now, just as when we went from the x16 to x32, there is a long period between when it first came out, to the time when mostly everyone was finally using the newer systems. Even though they were far more than twice as powerful, the change is just too severe. The cost too high. Unlike when you upgrade from one x32 computer to another x32 computer, such as going from the x32 XP to the x32 Vista, the change in hardware and software is too huge. Not only do you have to update all of your drivers, but your old 32 bit printer won't run on a 64 bit system, nor will other hardware components. You have to update everything. Think of all the offices around the globe which finally upgraded to the x32 bit systems, investing all that money on hardware/software and training, and now they are looking at doing it all over again. Some day soon they are going to have too if they want to keep up in t he global market, but they will put it off for as long as they can.
Those who are first to change to the new x64 are gamers. Those who can afford the newer systems have a real edge over those still running the slower less powerful x32 systems. They rack up more points and gain more prestige by upgrading, and they don't care if they still use their x32 bit systems for their work or home office needs. Eventually they will buy the 64 bit software to go along with their 64 bit hardware, but all they really care about is winning the games.
So, eventually we all will be in 64 bit systems. I look forward to when the prices come down, because the difference is amazing. Good luck and have a blast with your new faster and more powerful system.

Toxic Substances
At a scientific meeting on the toxicity of benzene, a number of scientists including myself presented their research on people who had been exposed to benzene. Benzene is a toxic chemical (and also a carcinogen), but it is still used in many industrial applications because it is such a good solvent. It is also a component in gasoline, crude oil, and cigarette smoke. There was a general problem with many of the presentations at the symposium. The subjects of the study, some of them workers in the petrochemical industry or workers who used glues or materials made with benzene, were not exposed to very high levels of benzene. In fact, for most of the studies the benzene from cigarette smoking was ten times greater than the amount coming from air pollution caused by automobiles or the amount from working with benzene in a chemical plant.
There were two major exceptions to this. One was a series of studies done in China, where workers who glued soles onto shoes using a benzenebased glue faced extremely high exposure. The other exception was the study I was involved in, using a small group of petrochemical workers from Bulgaria, where the proper engineering controls had not yet been installed. One of my colleagues remarked that doing scientific studies in order to understand the effects of toxic chemicals like benzene in people was becoming almost impossible because it was becoming very hard to find groups of peo-

International Terror Law; Targeting Innocent Civilians Is Wrong
Byline: Louis Rene Beres, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
From the standpoint of international law, there is little point to linguistic transformations of murder. Those who would identify the willful maiming and execution of noncombatants in the name of an abstract ideal are defiling legal rules. When Palestinian insurgents claim the legal right to use "any means necessary," they are flat out wrong. Even if their claims for "national self-determination" were supportable, there are always firm limits on permissible targets and levels of violence.
The limited rights of insurgency under international law do not include the use of nail-filled bombs dipped in rat poison. These rights can never supplant the rules of humanitarian international law. Nowhere is it written that there are political goals so worthy that they can allow the incineration of infants in cribs or the shooting of children at play.
Supporters of Palestinian terrorist violence against Israelis still argue that the ends justify the means. But the ends can never justify the means under conventional or customary international law. For more than 2,000 years, binding legal principles of world politics have stipulated that intentional forms of violence against the innocent are always prohibited.
Under law, one man's terrorist can never be another man's freedomfighter. Although fashionable to repeat at cocktail parties, this expression is merely an empty witticism. While it is true that certain insurgencies can be judged lawful, these permissible resorts to force must always conform to the laws of war. Even if Palestinian claims of a hostile "occupation" were reasonable, their corresponding claim of entitlement to oppose Israel "by any means necessary" would remain false.
National liberation movements that fail to meet the test of just means are never protected as lawful. Even if we were to accept the spurious argument that Hamas and its sister groups somehow meet the criteria of "national liberation," it is plain that they do not meet the standards of discrimination, proportionality and military necessity. These critical standards have been applied to insurgent organizations by the common Article 3 of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and by the two protocols to these conventions of 1977. They are also binding upon all combatants by virtue of broader customary and conventional international law, including Article 1 of the Preamble to the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907. …

Raspberry looks completely different in natural light and artificial light. In the photos below it looks more red, but in artificial light it's almost wine in colour. Absolutely gorgeous :) I'd recommend you go out and try this yourself, Barry M always has special offers on it's Nail Paints in Boots and Superdrug so keep an eye out for them :)
Preeeeetty colour for Valentine's Day!

"Jyväskylä" Jyväskylä by hyark
Jyväskylä Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 37 photos
A summer town?
I've lived in Jyväskylä for almost eight years. It's one of the numerous Finnish towns that are regarded as a "summer city", meaning that one should only visit them during summer. It's certainly true that a tourist will find it easiest to spend time in Jyväskylä during summer. The pedestrian street (Kävelykatu) has pub and shopping possibilities that are most pleasant at warm weather. It's pleasant to walk, or better, to bicycle, around and pay attention to small details.
Pros and Cons
- Pros:location, nature, lakes
- Cons:dull buildings, difficult surroundings

The Spalding Egan Service Living program was established in 2008 to provide a corps of Spalding students with the leadership skills to exemplify the Spalding mission. Egan students engage in extensive community service and training necessary to help execute special university functions and represent the university at events both on campus and elsewhere. Spalding Egan Service Living students are drawn from all academic disciplines and class years. Attempts are made to recruit an equal number of students from each residential college. Students selected to serve remain in the program until graduation unless they choose to resign or are asked to leave for engaging in conduct deemed inappropriate.
Member Selection & Scholarship
The member selection process happens officially during session 1 of each academic year. All undergraduate students are welcome to apply for the program. Once all applications are collected, they are reviewed by a selection committee made up of current ESLP members. From there, a select number of applicants are chosen for personal interviews. Once all interviews are complete, the interview committee (also made up of current ESLP members) chooses the new inductees for that academic year. The Egan Service Living Program maintains approximately 20 members.
A group of this size ensures that an adequate number of students can be assembled for any given activity without compelling any student who may have an academic or personal conflict to participate at a time that is inconvenient. This also ensures that staff responsible for the program is able to give each student adequate time, attention, and care. Not every Egan Service Living student works at every event.
The ESLP is intended to be a residential program. All students in ESLP are highly encouraged to spend at least their first year in the program living on campus. Students in the ESLP live on campus free of room charges. Most choose to stay throughout their time at Spalding.
Social Duties of Spalding Egan Service Living Students
Egan Service Living students may be called upon to represent the university at social functions both on and off campus; to accompany development officers or other university officials on university business calls; to help plan and execute university functions; and to serve as VIP liaisons, campus tour guides, special event facilitators, ushers, etc. "Egans" (as they are lovingly called on campus) are expected to study and master information on the university and its history, to attend regularly scheduled meetings for continuing training and instruction, and to conduct themselves at all times – not merely during the actual performance of duties – according to the highest standards of personal integrity and decorum.
On average, the ESLP completes one off campus service project per month throughout the academic year, as well as many on campus events. They take one long distance, extended service trip each year to culminate the year's work. ESLP has done extended service work in Mississippi, Florida, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky. Also, the program members spend at least 2 hours per week in training/planning sessions and meetings to prepare for upcoming projects.
All Spalding Egan Service Livings are required to participate in a several service and university assignments each academic semester. We encourage active participation in as many campus programs and events as your schedule will allow. Students who fail to comply with this rule may be dropped from the Spalding Egan Service Living program. It is the student's responsibility to keep track of the number of events in which he or she participates in order to maintain active status in the program. At the end of each school year, we will review participation records and an e-mail will be sent to each student who failed to meet the minimum requirements.
• Participate in various service projects throughout school year that aligned with mission of the university
• Annually participate in Service Trip with Sisters of Charity of Nazareth or other group aligned with the Mission of Spalding University
• Serve as leaders for New Student Orientation in the fall of each school year

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
University of California Berkeley (Nutritional Sciences)
University of California Los Angeles (Master's)
University of California Davis (Other)
I teach an introductory chemistry online virtual lab course at Mount Saint Mary's College (Los Angeles), and an environmental studies course at Woodbury University (Burbank). I also give technical assistance to K-12 science teachers with their hands-on lab activities.
I went to UCLA for graduate school in chemistry (M.S., 2009),
UC Davis for training as a science teacher (credential, 2004),
and UC Berkeley for a more general education focused on nutritional sciences (B.S., 1998).
In the way of previous teaching experience, I've had work as a graduate student instructor at UCLA for general chemistry (Chemistry 14A), physical biochemistry (Chemistry 156), and an organic chemistry lab (Chemistry 14BL). I've also taught introductory chemistry courses at East Los Angeles College and Cypress College.
Here is where I excel for you:
I am good at helping students to figure out how to solve chemistry problems, such as on homework, practice exams, or from the textbook. I am also good at helping students to figure out what was going on in the lab experiment that they did or will do. Hire me for technical help like this. Sometimes students need help figuring out how to do online homework, or figuring out the best way to approach multiple-choice problems; I give great help in these activities. Rarely, some students will ask me for help understanding a concept via a chemical demonstration, or they will need some support on an open-ended science project or inquiry-based experiment. I can offer unique services, perspectives and suggestions in these cases, and sometimes I can even bring in some specialized lab equipment and supplies from my own collection to assist.
I have used innovative online tools in some tutoring sessions, such as virtual lab software from the Open Learning Initiative (OLI, by Carnegie Mellon University), and online science learning games (Phet, by University of Colorado).

I'm sure there are lots of tutors that have excellent knowledge of chemistry, but what good is it if he/she cannot communicate or share that knowledge in an effective manner. Glen has this uncanny ability to break down the problem beyond the original question being asked to the point of the tutee eventually owning the concept. Once you master the concept, successive problems become easy. This is exactly what he did with my daughter and thus helped her achieve high marks on both SAT chemistry and on her AP chemistry (2014 newly revised concept-based). Glen has tons of real world lab-based experience that he shared with my daughter, which is paramount in doing well on the new 2014 AP chemistry test.
Glen is a courteous, kind, and mild mannered tutor who provides excellent chemistry tutoring at a bargain price. He is that good!!! I would highly recommend Glen to any potential parents looking for honors/AP level chemistry tutoring.
Glen met me three times during the week of my chemistry mid term. Thank goodness he was accommodating to my schedule! Glen was extremely knowledgable and explained chemistry concepts thoroughly. No matter how many time I asked him to repeat the explanation, he was patient. He also was able to give context to the problems we worked, which helped me remember them during my exam. He explained absorbance, wave lengths, ph buffers, acids and bases, equivalence points and walked me though ice tables. Glen patiently worked calculations with me and made sure I understood what I was doing.
Glen has been a great help to our son and has helped bring up his grade. He has been very patient and explains the material well. We highly recommend him!
Glen was on time, thorough, and never lost me. It is a shame that he doesn't teach as a profession because I'm sure he would be an awesome professor.
We covered some concepts in Chemical Kinetics as part of the 2nd year College Chemistry course material. It was very hard for me to find detailed information online which is why I turned to WyzAnt. Sometimes it is just better to have someone at your side walking you through the problems step by side.
My son's understanding and class score increased exponentially under Glen's tutoring. Glen is patient, effective, pleasant, and prompt. We highly recommend him as a tutor!
Glen has done an amazing job tutoring my twins in AP Chemistry. He really knows how to take complex ideas and concepts and explain them in a way that the kids can grasp. He has also done a lot of research into the actual AP exam and what will be expected of them. Very impressed!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Lemons by alexandrasalasWatch
©2013-2016 alexandrasalas
Words to live by.
Can't burn life's house down with that lemon, if you get that reference.
Is lemon pie good?
Nobody's used lemon pie in that one before! This is very creative, cute, and makes a nice point.
If this was a print, I think I would seriously have to get it to hang in my kitchen lol Love this!! (and lemon pies XDDD)
I have it up as a print on RedBubble www.redbubble.com/people/kasum… but also on Gumroad where you get a downloadable pdf to print at home. gumroad.com/l/NNHa If none of those work, I can set it up as a print here too.
Dang it, I want some lemon pie now... D :
Better make that a damn lemon MERINGUE pie. Because I said so.
cute <3
*lemon cake. Good GOD it's so good!
Less effort than making lemonade, that's for sure.
"But making a lemon pie takes more effort!"
I meant less effort for ME.
"But making a lemon pie takes more effort!"
I meant less effort for ME.
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! GET MAD! 'I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WITH THESE?!' Demand to see life's MANAGER! 'DO YOU KNOW I AM?! I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WITH THE LEMONS! I'M GOING TO GET MY ENGINEERS TO INVENT A COMBUSTIBLE LEMON, THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!'
C'mon, you had to expect it. One does not simply post a 'when life gives you lemons' joke without getting a Cave rant.

We've been running around trying to figure out what we're supposed to be doing our last week in the states. It's seems like there should be a standard list somewhere, an app for that, or a self help book entitled "Things to take care of before moving your family and career out of the country"! That would be helpful, because we've never done this before. We're basically just preparing ourselves for everything to change!
The reality that everything is going to change has gotten real. And has brought about a rush of different emotions from excitement to agita. (Agita is an Italian word my wife uses to describe a nervous feeling that has a hint of nausea associated with it; I've adopted it into my vocabulary.) But it has been a smooth transition, having sold our house a couple weeks ago and moving into the parents house. It's been preparing us to live with other people in quite a lot less space than we are used too, while still having the physical love and support of our families and friends. Now the next phase involves us moving a world away from most everything and everyone we know and love!
Sometimes I ask myself why. Why can't we just do what we do here? I haven't been able come up with a concise way to answer that question except that everything in this life is about timing, from your heart beating, to your car engine, to music. If you ignore the timing you will die, metaphorically speaking, unless of course your heart ignores it's timing and then you really would die. The fear of the unknown constantly tries to knock us off timing and leads us to miserable feelings. But when you find your timing you feel a passion to put everything on the line to keep it! And now we have found our timing. We sold our house without a realtor or even putting it on the market!! That was just one of many "signs" that the time is now. We are going to miss being here with everyone so much and even though it's not the same we'll keep in touch online.
Help us keep this site up and running while we're in Germany by donating in the right column and please opt in to having your name and other info displayed on the "recognition wall". We are extremely honored and want everyone to know who you are.
All the best,

The State of the Bible in North America and Its Significance for Communities of Faith
Senior, Donald, Currents in Theology and Mission
I must confess that I have come to appreciate--and fear--the organizers of the Hein Fry lecture series! The formidable topics assigned for the series this past year were: (1) The State of the Bible in North America; and (2) What this state of the Bible might mean for Lutherans. Yes, that's correct, "for Lutherans." As one who puzzles what the Bible means for Roman Catholics, you can imagine how competent I felt about saying what it might mean for the Lutheran Church! My first temptation was to say: The state of the Bible is fine, and it is good for Lutherans to continue to read it! But of course I will say more, although the bottom line may not be far from this summary statement.
Scanning the landscape
One of my pleasant tasks is to serve as the book review editor of a bi-monthly journal called The Bible Today published by The Liturgical Press in Collegeville, Minnesota. I have been doing the New Testament segment of this review article for many years now, and never in that time have the shelves of books waiting to be reviewed even approached being empty. Books on the Bible--scholarly, popular, and in-between--appear at a steady pace, with no end in sight. Religious publishing companies may live on the margin, and some go out of existence or merge, but the number of authors who are eager to publish continues to abound. Not only is there an unending supply of monographs on various topics, but there are increasing numbers of works that assist congregations and teachers in bringing the Bible to a wider audience: one-volume study Bibles and dictionaries, numerous series of commentaries and study guides designed for popular audiences, commentaries on CDs, a vast amount of software to assist biblical study on the part of pastors and educators, and so on.
From a New Testament perspective alone, the topics that seem to dominate at the beginning of the twenty-first century include some of the following. I cite these in a very preliminary fashion and later will single out what I consider to be key issues.
* The never-ending quest for the historical Jesus, now according to some observers in its "third" phase since its eruption at the end of the nineteenth century, remains a topic of great interest for biblical scholarship. In my own perhaps optimistic view, I sense that more balance is coming into the picture, with more centrist scholars such as Sean Freyne, N. T. Wright, James Dunn, and others making significant contributions that give the gospel materials more historical credibility while also acknowledging the significant role of theological interpretation on the part of the early Christian community. (1) Significant, too, is the increasing attention to the results of archaeology, particularly in Galilee, and its implications for understanding the social, religious, and economic context of Jesus' ministry. (2)
* To the question of the historical Jesus we should add the question of the "historical Paul." Of particular importance for biblical scholarship over the past few years remains the question of how to situate Paul in relation to his Jewish and Greco-Roman background. (3) Did he reject the Jewish law and his Jewish heritage? Does justification by grace alone remain a valid way of assessing the heart of Pauline theology?
* Similarly, there is increasing and well-informed attention to the wider social and religious context of Jesus' time and the emergence of the early Christian community. Biblical scholarship has come a very long way in self-correcting its understanding of first-century Judaism, and this has had a significant impact on biblical studies, including studies of the historical Jesus and also of Paul and other New Testament writings. More recent is renewed attention to the impact of imperial Rome and its power on the life and perspective of the early Christian communities. While this impact was evident in the case of such texts as Revelation and 1 Peter, now scholars are attempting to trace its influence on the gospels and Acts. …

Body Wash:
Apply during bath or shower to wet skin. Rinse thoroughly. Pat skin dry and apply Suzanne Organics Nourishing Body Lotion.
Body Lotion:
Apply liberally all over the body for revitalizing hydration. Especially effective when applied on moist skin after a bath or shower.
Loofah made in China; wash and lotion made in the United States.
Please view the above Ingredients tab for ingredient information.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Dry Skin:
Hyalauronic Acid, Glycerin, Lanolin, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Oil (Of Jojoba, Olive, Apricot Seed, Avocado, Grapeseed Borage, Almond, Evening Primrose), Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Honey, Shea Butter, Argan, Baobab, Manuka Honey, Green Tea (Camilla Sinsnsis), Ceramide, Glycolic Acid, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Cucumber
Why Cleanse?
When you cleanse your face, you can help control the clarity, suppleness and condition of your skin. Cleansing rids your skin of excess facial oil, dust, bacteria, dirt and dead skin cells. This process helps keep the pores unclogged, improves circulation, and prepares your skin for the next step in your cleansing ritual. Quite possibly the most fundamental step in the beauty routine, cleansing is integral to maintaining a balanced complexion.
Cleansing is recommended twice per day for most skin types, once in the morning and once in the evening. Any more than that, the natural oils become stripped, while any less and your skin can become susceptible to congestion and eruptions.
How to Choose a Cleanser
Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin and is specifically formulated for the face. Dry skin types will need to use a creamy based cleanser, while oilier types will need a gel based or foaming type cleanser. Sensitive skin needs a fragrance-free formulation, most likely labeled as gentle and non-irritating.
How to Cleanse
Tie your hair back with a headband or ponytail holder. Make sure to start with clean hands. Splash your face with warm or tepid water to open up your pores. Never use too hot or too cold water. Too hot and your skin can dry out, while water that is too cold will not remove the surface oils sufficiently. You can use a washcloth, sponge, exfoliation puff, facial brush or your fingers for cleansing - It all depends on your preference.
Use approximately a dime to nickel sized amount of cleanser, follow product packaging instructions. You can apply the cleanser with your fingertips or washcloth. Depending on the cleanser type, you might want to work up a lather in your hands first.
Use gentle upward circular strokes moving around the face, paying attention to the crevices of the nose area and hair line while extending down your neck and around the ear area. Take extra care to use a gentle touch around the eyes. Do not over-scrub or scrub too hard, as your facial skin is susceptible to become easily irritated.
Once the cleansing is completed, rinse liberally with tepid water. Make sure all areas are rinsed including the neck, hairline and eye area. Cool water may be used, as it helps to close the pores. Finish by blotting your face gently with a towel using a patting technique.
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that ultimately leads to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your finger tips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes.
