Breastfeeding in public remains a controversial topic worthy of demonstrations, laws and public outcries -- but what about breastfeeding in advertising?
South Korean marketing and communications agency Cheil Worldwide released an ad for Oreo cookies entitled "Basic Instinct," depicting a baby at his mother's breast with the tagline, 'Milk's favorite cookie.' Though many in advertising circles believe this to be a 'spec' ad, rather than one approved by Oreo's parent company Nabisco, the backlash it is producing speaks to the taboos that still exist for breastfeeding women.
This tweet is indicative of the reactions of many commenters below the original posting of the image on Ads of the World:
Marko Azzioni
Behold This Absolutely Bonkers Oreo Ad From South Korea http://bit.ly/JbmZ4C #glamour #FashionNews #FashionIndustry
Others noted it would never be released in North America, due to censorship standards applied to various forms of media.
The lines being drawn on the appropriateness of breastfeeding and its affiliated nudity are often difficult to define. Facebook was recently forced to clarify its position on images of breastfeeding after removing one mother's personal photos, saying they were "sexually explicit." As the company explained in a public statement:
"The vast majority of breastfeeding photos [on Facebook] are compliant with our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and Facebook takes no action on such content. However, photos which contain a fully exposed breast, do violate our terms and may be removed if they are reported to us. These policies are based on the same standards that apply to television and print media. It is important to note that photos upon which we act are almost exclusively brought to our attention by other users who complain about them being shared on Facebook."
Whether or not the Oreo ad is for real, some breastfeeding advocates appear pleased about this step in the direction of showing breastfeeding as part of our everyday lives.

#breastfeeding imgs should be so widespread it doesn't cause a ruckus! RT @blakeeligh ad featuring #bf baby goes viral:
SEE: Dionna Ford on 9 ways Google can help to normalize breastfeeding:
With approximately 88 billion searches per month on Google.com, a Google Doodle during World Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7, 2012) could literally be viewed by millions of people. Breastfeeding needs to be seen in order to become normalized. It needs to be such a common sight that it barely registers for people. Obviously Google can't do this alone, but it can help us out by featuring a beautiful breastfeeding baby on its search engine.
Many states specifically protect the rights of breastfeeding pairs. For example, the Connecticut law states that no person may restrict or limit the right of a mother to breastfeed her child. (Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. ß53-34b.) Other states, like Arkansas, simply exempt breastfeeding from public indecency statutes. (A.C.A. ß 5-14-112.) And there are three states that do not protect breastfeeding pairs at all - West Virginia, Nebraska, and Idaho. Google can figure out what state we reside in when we are searching Google.com. Let's ask Google to include a note on the top or side of every search result that lists the searcher's breastfeeding state law. If there is no law, or if the law simply exempts nursing pairs from public indecency laws, Google could add a note that says "lobby your legislators to create a state law protecting nursing pairs," with a link to a site that will connect the searcher to his/her representatives. With 34,000 searches per second on Google.com, we could inform a lot of people about the rights of nursing pairs.
There are so many wonderful organizations and communities dedicated to supporting and normalizing breastfeeding: NursingFreedom.org, La Leche League, Kellymom, Best for Babes, Human Milk for Human Babies, Natural Parents Network, Code Name: Mama's "Joys of Breastfeeding Past Infancy" series, The Leaky B@@B, and more. One of the main reasons women stop (or never start) breastfeeding is due to a lack of support. We can reach out to breastfeeding mothers who might otherwise feel isolated by advertising on Google and YouTube -- the 2nd and 3rd most visited websites (just behind Facebook). Google can help us increase the visibility of supportive breastfeeding networks by promoting them on Google-owned sites.
From making babies healthier to decreasing a mother's risk of disease, there is a reason that breastmilk is the biological norm. There are at least 101 reasons to breastfeed, and many wonderful uses for breastmilk even outside of nourishing a baby. Instead of the usual sponsored ads in your Gmail inbox, Google could feature one of the many reasons to breastfeed, with a link to one of the supportive breastfeeding organizations and communities.
Google Calendar users can choose to have federal holidays listed in their normal view. How cool would it be to have World Breastfeeding Week highlighted in the holidays? It might prompt some users to help support the events planned in their area or online.
Google continues to update its street view images, so why not incorporate images of breastfeeding pairs? I'm sure Google could find willing participants in many cities, like Jennifer of True Confessions of a Real Mommy, shown here nursing at Huntington Beach, California.
"The primary purpose of the 'WHO-CODE' is to protect mothers and babies from the highly effective, aggressive and predatory marketing of substitutes for breastfeeding (i.e. infant formula, bottles, artificial nipples)." Google can help us promote breastfeeding and deter formula marketing by refusing to accept advertising contracts from companies that do not comply with the WHO Code.
Google Maps is the most popular "travel website," ranked over Mapquest and Expedia. Maybe that is because visiting Google Maps can be fun. Who doesn't love the little Pegman on Google Maps?! Pegman has dressed up as Santa, a panda, an astronaut, and more. Why not replace Pegman with Pegwoman for awhile? She'll proudly nurse in public all over the two dimensional globe.
Rather than plugging the next hit movie, feature breastfeeding videos on YouTube's front page during World Breastfeeding Week. Let some of YouTube's 800 million monthly viewers see the biological norm in nourishing our little ones.
The large G in Google is the International Breastfeeding Symbol.

I've never been any good at jigsaw puzzles. Too impatient or to right-brained to try and visualize how the pieces fit together. Still, I have a lot of respect for people who can take a bunch of parts and make a sum that's something special.
That goes double for winemakers who build layers of depth and complexity through blending. Even straight-up varietals benefit from a little bit of this and a splash of that.
One of my favorite mix masters is going to be pouring at the upcoming BLEND tasting on September 16 at Bell Harbor Conference Center. (Win tickets by answering the pop quiz at the end of this post!)
Brian Carter has been creating some wonderfully unique proprietary blends under his own label since 1997. His lineup includes nods to the planet's most renowned blending regions, Bordeaux and the Rhone. But Carter also hits it out of the park with a white that busts any rule books. I'm talking about the splendid Oriana, of course, made with Viognier, Roussanne and Riesling. A wine that stood up to my homemade mussaman chicken curry and shouted: "Cool!"
The really cool thing about Brian's blends is that they are made to complement food, rather than demanding to be star of the table. Hooray for restrained, elegant, fully integrated flavors!
"I didn't grow up in a house with wine drinkers, but my mother was a gourmet cook," he said in a recent interview. "I learned to appreciate food first, and when I got out to dinner, I always decide what I'm going to eat first and then pick a wine that's going to complement that."
Carter's wines have often been described as taking an Old World approach, but he's a true trailblazer, especially the way he fits all sorts of pieces together to create something beautiful, building on the amazing fruit he sources from trusted growers.
One of the most memorable meals I had this summer involved an impromptu burger cookout, using ground lamb from Olsen Farms, topping that slightly charred patty with a hunk of feta and serving it with a glass of Brian Carter Cellars Byzance. That's a Rhone blend featuring Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre, Counoise and Cinsault. You'd think a nicely put-together, high-end wine like this would outshine those humble burgers, but they played well together. Like the Williams sisters in a U.S. Open doubles final.
Now, for the brain-teaser:
Which one of these blending grapes does not grow in Washington?
A. Pinot Meunier
B. Malbec
C. Carmenere
D. Aligote
E. All of the above
F. None of the above
The first correct answer (no fair using Google on this challenge!) entered in the comments section below gets a pair of tickets to BLEND. Good luck!

What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of bupropion can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include muscle stiffness, hallucinations, fast or uneven heartbeat, shallow breathing, or fainting.

Slavery, American economic development to be focus of Romano Lecture
Gavin Wright, the William Robertson Coe Professor of American economic history at Stanford University, will deliver the Mario and Antoinette Romano Lecture at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, May 5, in Casadesus Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Building at Binghamton University. A reception will follow his lecture, "Slavery and American Economic Development."
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will focus on Wright's interpretation of the economic advantages of slavery to owners, and the reasons why slavery generated a backward economy compared to that of the free states.
Wright, a noted scholar on American economic history, is the author of numerous publications on U.S. economic performance, natural resources and economic development. His latest publications include "The Civil Rights Revolution as Economic History," for the Journal of Economic History, and "The Role of Nationhood in the Economic Development of the USA," for Economic Change and the Nation State in History.
Wright's professional affiliations include the American Economic Association, the Economic History Association, the Cliometrics Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The Mario and Antoinette Romano Lecture Series was endowed in 1984 by Mr. and Mrs. Romano to sponsor lectures given by noted speakers in history, economics, art history and medicine.

The data for monthly housing costs are developed from a distribution of "Selected Monthly Owner Costs" for owner-occupied units and "Gross Rent" for renter-occupied units. The owner-occupied categories are further separated into those with a mortgage and those without a mortgage. See the sections on "Selected Monthly Owner Costs" and "Gross Rent" for more details on what characteristics are included in each measure and how these data are comparable to previous ACS and Census 2000 data. Monthly housing costs provide information on the cost of monthly housing expenses for owners and renters. When the data is used in conjunction with income data, the information offers an excellent measure of housing affordability and excessive shelter costs. The data also serve to aid in the development of housing programs to meet the needs of people at different economic levels.
Median Monthly Housing Costs
This measure divides the monthly housing costs distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median monthly housing costs and one-half above the median. Medians are shown separately for units "with a mortgage" and for units "not mortgaged." Median monthly housing costs are computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Appendix A".) Median monthly housing costs are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Suitable for installation or upgrade.
Download MethodSHA256 checksum Direct Link | Metalink | Pick Mirror
Help on Download Method
openSUSE is available via http (direct link) or BitTorrent. The CD for network installation is only available via http.
Direct Link
When downloading images other than the CD for network installation, it is strongly recommended to use a proper download manager to reduce the risk of corrupted data.
Using BitTorrent is recommended on slow links, especially when downloading the DVD image. BitTorrent downloads have several benefits, the clients protect against data corruption and you help relieving the load on the servers by participating in the upload - if enough people participate it will also be faster than the centralized servers - for everybody. Whatsmore, it allows you to stop the download at any time and resume it later.
Metalink is an open standard that bundles the various ways (FTP/HTTP/BitTorrent) to get files into one format for easier downloads. This makes it good for downloading ISOs; particularly for people who can't use P2P because of restrictions from their ISP or University. It can deliver very fast download speeds since most clients support multiple connections, to multiple mirrors, automatically. In addition, it can do automatic error detection, and correction. It needs a special client to handle it though.
Pick Mirror
If you want to use a direct link but live in a place in the world where our download redirector has not enough information to redirect to the fastest mirror, you can pick a mirror yourself.

More information on downloading openSUSE is available from the Download Help and Network Installation pages in our Documentation Wiki. User manuals are available from activedoc.opensuse.org, for example the Official Start-Up Guide.
Verify your download before use
Many applications can verify the checksum of a download. To verify your download can be important as it verifies you really have got the ISO file you wanted to download and not some broken version. You could verify the file in the process of downloading. For example a checksum (SHA256) will be used automatically if you choose Metalink in the field above and use the add-on DownThemAll! in Firefox.
For each ISO, we offer a checksum file with the corresponding SHA256 sum. For extra security, you can use GPG to verify who signed those .sha256 files. It should be 22C0 7BA5 3417 8CD0 2EFE 22AA B88B 2FD4 3DBD C284.
How to Proceed
- After having successfully downloaded the ISO image(s), create a bootable USB stick or burn the image(s) to a DVD (or a CD if the chosen image fits).
- More information on creating a bootable USB stick
- More information on burning the ISO file to CD/DVD
- Boot from the DVD, CD or USB stick. In case your computer does not automatically boot from the chosen device, open the BIOS setup to allow booting from it.

I had a call last night from someone here in Ohio who said they had several hives with symptoms like those reported from last year of CCD. They called me looking to buy nucs, which I have none, and said they had called many other beekeepers who are seeing symptoms also.
I haven't seen anything alarming yet (other than a really early dearth) and wondered if anyone here has seen anything they'd call CCD?

Maybe you are right. a group that has a forum for 101 questions really should be separated from the one that is for none 101 questions. What makes more since to me is that the 101 should be more of a book rather than an interactive forum. I say this because most beginner questions have long ago been answered on these forums. It is a matter of finding them. There is of course a search function to aid in that. So lets discuss that feature and why it may not be used to answer such repetitious questions. I will speak for myself. I don't use the search function because it quite frankly is a complete waste of time. The result of nearly any search is a ridiculously long list of nearly completely irrelevant posts. It would be faster to find the information I seek by attempting to read each and every post on these forums one at a time. Also not realistic. It is by far easier and also completely realistic to simply ask the same question that has been answered before again.
If on the other hand this information was in one location in an order that made some sort of since. one that made it reasonably possible to locate answers to specific questions. I believe it would be used to a large degree. This means consolidating all the information on this group to one book sized thread. Complete with an index that links to specific topic. such things are often mentioned in forums but simply are not ever carried out. Who will organize and make it int eh first place? once it is made who will maintain it? Who will choose what content it contains and what it will not. or will it contain every single idea or thought shared on a subject. what qualifies as a significantly different idea? Saying the same thing in a different way is not a new idea.
In all the solution is both very simple and yet most likely impossible. make that new person info findable and they questions will stop being asked over and over.

A s a very young man with a very healthy ego and a product of the instant-gratification age who has gotten a taste of instant gratification, 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith sits at a precarious period of his career, if not his life.
These potentially volatile conditions are amplified insofar as Smith, 23, is an overnight sensation in the sports/entertainment industry.
And when one considers Aldon's tendency to find unflattering predicaments and unwanted publicity — the most recent coming last week — the socially fashionable term "at risk" might be applicable.
Yet the 49ers imply they are not alarmed, perhaps because they realize Smith not only is a spectacular football player but also a bright individual.
Smith, for his part, claims his issues are part of the maturation process.
"I'm growing up," he said this week. "I'm learning from my actions. I'm maturing."
The most recent publicity related to Smith came last week, when he reportedly was implicated in an altercation in Columbia, Mo., where he attended college. There were multiple reports of police being summoned to a Mexican bar/restaurant after midnight Halloween for an incident involving Smith.
This is after the September incident where Smith was a passenger in a one-car accident near his home in San Jose. And the July case in which he was stabbed at a party at his home. And the January case in which he was arrested and charged with DUI in Florida.
None of the four incidents this year have resulted in reports of serious injury. But how long should anyone tempt fate?
Given Smith's stature, there is the matter of his personal image. How much does he care about it? Is he bothered by the direction it's taking?
"No. I play with some great people and I'm around good people," Smith said Wednesday. "Everybody here is amazing.
"As for endorsements, there's plenty of time for that to come. And with time, it will come. I'm not rushing it. I came here to play football, not to be a (celebrity)."
Football players, especially those who are particularly gifted, are celebrities. It comes with the territory. It makes them a magnet and a target. People want to be near them, and some of those people will have highly questionable intentions.
It can take varying experiences, and various lengths of time, for a great young athlete to fully understand the magnitude of himself and the implications of his actions.
Not all do.
Some, such as Lawrence Taylor, were fabulous players who burned out earlier than they would have. Others, such as Ray Lewis, received the wake-up call that is the prospect of prison. When Brett Favre enters the Hall of Fame, there will be a trail of trials and errors at his back.
I remember a gifted young defensive lineman who played for the Raiders in the late 1990s by the name of Darrell Russell. He was likable and easygoing, a two-time Pro Bowler. But his choices were questionable and he never fully grasped the concept of little things required to become the best possible professional.
D-Russ was out of the NFL at 28 — and tragically dead at 29.
Smith has Hall of Fame potential, emphasis on potential. He was built to stalk quarterbacks. He's 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, with a sculpted physique, freakishly long arms and hands big and strong enough that he might need only one to grip and lift the average horse.
His coaches and teammates marvel not only about his physical attributes but also his mind.
"He's got great speed, great quickness and great power," says offensive lineman Leonard Davis, a 12th-year veteran of four NFL teams who occasionally practices against Smith. "And he has great intelligence."
And that's why Aldon has a chance to fulfill his potential. He's smarter than LT, savvier than D-Russ. He's the full package, which is why San Francisco chose him seventh overall in the 2011 draft.
But Smith still is discovering his capabilities. Asked how he perceived his potential, he had a quick reply: "Sky's the limit. I can go as far as I take myself."
No argument here. Smith has the goods to become the best pass rusher to wear a 49ers uniform, surpassing the likes of Fred Dean and Charles Haley and Cedrick Hardman and Cleveland Elam or Bryant Young, largely because he is driven by the need to prove himself.
"All my life, I've been overlooked, from coming out of high school to playing in college to now," he says. "In due time, it will all come out. People know what I have when they play against me, so they'll figure it out one way or another."
Though Aldon has everything he needs to succeed, he must learn and accept the little things required of a polished professional.
Like keeping his ego on a leash while unleashing his intellect, and seeing that his good judgment trumps his swagger.

If the Yampa Street promenade is selected to receive a portion of the accommodations tax dollars, planners say the project could be completed as early as fall 2015. It would entail adding four new riverside parks, each with a different purpose, on Sixth, Seventh, Ninth and 10th streets.
Stories this photo appears in:
Downtown stakeholders say stars are aligning on Yampa Street
Take a stroll down Yampa Street on a Friday summer evening and you can quickly see the potential. For the planners of the Yampa River promenade, there is perhaps no better time than now for the lodging tax dollars to suddenly become available.

Complete Sea Ray Relay Coverage

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
The University of Tennessee women's distance medley relay team set a Tom Black Track collegiate record Saturday afternoon as the Lady Volunteers seized their first meet victory ever in that event on the final day of the 2003 Sea Ray Relays.
Beneath clear blue skies and with a warm April sun beating down on the UT oval, the Lady Vol quartet of sophomore Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.), sophomore Dee Dee Trotter (Decatur, Ga.), redshirt freshman Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) and senior Sharon Dickie (Grand Blanc, Mich.) covered the distance in a victorious 11:19.19. That time supplanted the previous TBT collegiate mark of 11:23.97, which was set by Eastern Kentucky on April 11, 1998.
The Big Orange foursome became the first Tennessee relay to win an event at the meet since 1999, and it was UT's first triumph at Sea Rays since Kelli White claimed the 100m dash title in 2000. Additionally, the mark ranks as the seventh-fastest ever run by an outdoor contingent from Rocky Top.
Cook, the 2003 NCAA indoor runner-up in the 800 meters, got the host school off to a good start with a 3:27 1200-meter leg
and staked Tennessee to a 10 to 15-meter lead. Trotter took the baton next and rolled to a 53-second split in the quarter to push
the margin out a little further.
Running third, Novak extended UT's lead to about 75 meters with an 800m leg that was in the impressive neighborhood of 2:09. All Dickie had to do was run a consistent and easy 1500m, which she did in what appeared to be effortless fashion in preventing the next closest team from gaining any ground. Penn State would wind up second in 11:33.01, followed by Georgetown at 11:34.03.
Other Lady Vol finishes on day four included the 4x400m relay combination of sophomore Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.), Cook, junior Christina Billings (Madison, Wis.) and junior Erin Anderson (Kent, Ohio), which was 20th in 3:53.81; and junior Janine Tessarzik (Altamont, N.Y.), who was 21st in the shot put at 43-11.25/13.39m.
UT also had entries in the 4x100m and 4x200m relays, but both were disqualified due to exchange zone violations.
Selected members of the UT squad will travel to Walnut, Calif., next weekend for the Mt. SAC Relays. The large meet in the Los Angeles suburb runs from April 17 through April 19.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We loved our stay in Budapest, Alessandro, our host was super nice. The apartment is located in an excellent, you have the metro station and bus stop minutes away by foot. Apartment is very nice and cozy.
Alessandro's place was great! The location couldn't have been better, we didn't need to take public transportation at any time since it was all at walking distance. Alessandro was really nice, he explained to us everything we needed to know about Budapest: its restaurants, places to go out, and the monuments we should see. The apartment is a little old from the outside but in the inside it is very clean and looked even better than in the pictures. I really recommend it!
We had a fabulous 5 days in Budapest. We choose the apartment because it was in a perfect place to walk around the city, 15-20 mins from lots of different attractions. Although on a main road we were not disturbed by the traffic too often just the occasional emergency vehicle. Apartment was good and we always got a quick and helpful response from the vendor when we made contact.
The apartment was very nice good space and good location
The best was the host Corrado. He made us feel welcomed and gave very good information and when we phoned him he was very friendly He prepared the flat after our wishes in a very good way
Nothing bad to say about this flat only GO THERE!
Apartment was very good value, and a great location- bars and restaurants minutes away, and you can walk to all the main sights in Budapest. The mattresses were very soft, and could do with being replaced, but otherwise we had a comfortable stay.
Great Place to stay !
Alessandro is a very nice person. He help us with a lot of things. Apartment is very well located and Budapest is simply beautifull.
Greetings from Poland
Beautiful, spacious and quiet old building. Stop on the street. Minimarket in the house. The keys could be organized at short notice and was carried out without delay. Even otherwise run smoothly. We recommend!
Schöne, geräumige und ruhige Altbauwohnung. Haltestelle auf der anderen Strassenseite. Kleiner Supermarkt im Haus. Die Schlüsselübergabe konnte kurzfristig organisiert werden und erfolgte ohne Wartezeit. Auch sonst ein reibungsloser Ablauf. Sehr zu empfehlen!
The apartment very well, as it looked in photographs. The slightly older building.
The host very well. Not a single problem to reach or to leave.
very good

Contruction work at Aspen Heights still unpaid by subcontractor
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Two companies, Ruhl and Son Construction and Roach Construction Services, are filing liens worth nearly $22,000 against Aspen Heights and Aurora Company, for work that was completed, but they are still owed the money.
Both companies tell ABC 17 the subcontractor, Texas-based Aurora Company, only paid a portion of what is owed.
"Our pay was denied, our services discredited, and our morale broken," said Jacob Ruhl, contractor for Ruhl and Son Construction.
His company is based out of Montgomery City. He traveled to Columbia Tuesday to file a wage lien.
Aurora Company is a subcontractor Aspen Heights hired for the Columbia project. Aurora then hired Ruhl's company and Roach Construction of St. Louis.
Both companies tell ABC 17 they feel betrayed from Aurora and Aspen Heights because 30 of their employees never got paid for the work they did on-site.
When asked for comment, Aspen Heights sent ABC 17 News this statement:
"Aspen Heights is currently assessing the facts surrounding a former contractor and subcontractor and will address the matter through the appropriate channels. As of now, we see this as an issue between the contractor and subcontractor. Aspen Heights will provide additional information once it becomes available."
However, Roach Construction is not just blaming Aurora.
"I'd say it'd be a combination of the two because neither have chosen to respond to any of the several attempts to try and resolve this," said CEO Tom Roach.
Jacob Ruhl told ABC 17 News that this is the last chance of reaching out to Aspen Heights and Aurora before they take legal action.

Competition has pushed down telecom gear prices while global economic weakness has led to slower spending by operators, pressuring vendors in the industry.
In the third quarter, Ericsson's core profit fell 42 percent due to slower orders and a shift in business mix to less profitable contracts. The company said then it would focus on cost cuts.
Announcing the layoff of 1,550 staff in Sweden, out of the 17,768 currently employed, Ericsson said the redundancies were inevitable.
"We must ensure that we can continue to execute on our strategy to maintain our market leadership, invest in R&D and meet our customers' needs," Tomas Qvist, head of human resources at Ericsson (Stockholm, Sweden) said in a statement.
"To secure this we need to focus on reducing cost, driving commercial excellence and operational effectiveness."
The company stuck to its forecast for total restructuring costs this year of 4 billion crowns ($597 million), a spokeswoman said. Its shares slipped 0.7 percent on the news.
Ericsson is not the only one suffering.

A home with a story
When some house hunters hear about a 1930s structure that hasn't been updated since, well, the 1930s, they think, Demo. But Jamie and Jeremy Kidson were looking for a home with a story.
To the couple, owners of the popular Bay Area stores Atomic Garden and Jeremys, it was important not only to retain the home's history but also to tread lightly on the Earth. The Kidsons, who have two daughters, chose to do what they call "a preservation" rather than a full-on remodel.
"The patina and wear patterns are things we love about this house," says Jeremy. And, with the exception of the kitchen and bathroom plumbing, most of the house was in good shape.

Wow, what a beautiful story, makes you feel good to see someone so deserving get something
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wow, what a beautiful story, makes you feel good to see someone so deserving get something
Wow!! Amazing story and nice for the man and his wife.
What a great story. So wonderful to see someone like that man profit from ancestor's purchase! The rug IS unusual and beautiful. I studied Navajo rugs earlier this year when I made my 2 Navajo quilts, and I didn't see a single Chief's rug like it. Similar, but not exactly like it.
It could not have happened to a more deserving person.

Wow best story I have heard in along time. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! How wonderful!
What a wonderful story. Many many years ago, I worked on a ranch in Colorado the summer that I graduated from high school. I spent all of my summer earnings on a Navajo blanket I had fallen in love with.
It does not have the provenance that this blanket does but it is my prized possession. I loved the story you shared and this man's good fortune!
I love this story. I teared up as the bids went higher and higher. This man seems like a genuine really nice guy that has has some very bad luck. I wish him the best with his new found wealth and hope he has the wisdom to handle it carefully.
LyndaWhen a dying man asked his pastor "How long does it take to die?" his pastor's heartfelt reply was "A lifetime." Live life to the fullest, but stop now and then to enjoy the sunset.
Great story and to a great person.
Talk about a feel good story. I am thrilled for this man. Thanks for sharing this one!

The global financial crisis has accelerated the shift in economic power to the emerging economies. This changing world order poses both challenges and opportunities for businesses in the current advanced economies.
This report shows how global economic power is shifting over the next four decades. In many ways the renewed dominance by 2050 of China and India, with their much larger populations, is a return to the historical norm prior to the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and 19th centuries that caused a shift in global economic power from Asia to Western Europe and the US – this temporary shift in power is now going into reverse.

Das Apartment von Rossella war sehr schön und sauber.Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.vielen lieben dank Rosa&Carola
As photos published, beautiful studio in the heart of central Naples, recently renovated, clean convenient to public transportation, close to the sea. The owner of the apartment were very helpful and friendly, I would definitely recommend it!
Come da foto pubblicata, bellissimo monolocale nel cuore di Napoli centralissimo, ristrutturato recentemente, pulitissimo comodo ai mezzi pubblici, vicinissimo al mare. La proprietaria dell'appartamento molto disponibile e gentile, lo consiglierei sicuramente !
We had a great stay in Naples. Rossella has welcomed us, the apartment is ideal as excellent, quiet and well appointed.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Naples. Rossella nous a chaleureusement accueillis, l'appartement est idéal car très bien situé, calme et bien agencé.
Great host and great central location, but the 5 flights of stairs can get tiring if you want to come and go from the apartment throughout the day. The shower stall doesn't drain very well, but everything else was great. We had issues with mosquitos so make sure to close your windows at night. Rossella was quick with communications and was always ready to help. There's a hair dryer provided, but no toiletries. Overall, pleasant stay, despite the area.
great location to rise right in the center and bus / train / ferry, free WiFi, nice hostess, uncomplicated contact, lots of stairs, kitchen niche quite closely, but both no problem
super Lage mitten im Zentrum und zu Bus/ Bahn/ Fähre, free WLAN, nette Gastgeberin, unkomplizierter Kontakt, sehr viele Treppen zu steigen, Küchennische recht eng, aber beides kein Problem
My girlfriend and I were on 19 to 26.09.2013 in Naples in Ross Ella's apartment. It was very centrally located in a courtyard just in a side street of the shopping street of Via Chiaia. From there, you have the perfect starting point to all the top sights, the harbor and around the corner was right the next bus stop, from where you can also go anywhere. The apartment was really nice and clean. For us, the really only there to sleep were perfect. Even if you could make something yourself want, it would be perfect, a small kitchen and dishes were available. Rossella is a very gracious host and made us feel welcome. All around it was just a great experience!
Meine Freundin und ich waren vom 19. bis 26.09.2013 in Neapel in Rossellas Apartment. Es war wirklich sehr zentral gelegen in einem Hinterhof genau in einer Seitenstraße zur Einkaufsstraße Via Chiaia. Von dort aus hat man den perfekten Ausgangspunkt zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten Neapels, zum Hafen und direkt um die Ecke war direkt die nächste Bushaltestelle, von wo man auch überall hinkommt. Das Apartment war wirklich sehr schön und sauber. Für uns, die wirklich nur zum schlafen da waren perfekt. Auch wenn man sich selbst etwas machen hätte wollen, wäre es perfekt, eine kleine Küche sowie Geschirr waren vorhanden. Rossella ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin und hat uns herzlich empfangen. Rundherum war es einfach nur ein toller Aufenthalt!!!
Very nice host! Reliable, helpful, flexible schedules level. We arrived late. Rosella thank you!
Hôte très gentille ! Fiable, serviable , flexible niveau horaires. Nous sommes arrivés tard. Merci Rosella !
Excellent position really close to everything, nice reception by Rossella, 101 steep steps make you plan your going and coming carefully, bare kitchen with only 1 pit and no coffeemaker, not so powerful shower. Noisy (like all of Naples) from 7 to 7. Good value for money.

Nick, you are right. I was not not clear enough ( I hope the e-mail-programs show the tabs clear enough):
I would like to see the confidence-intervals (boxes) for each of the categories and combination of categories in vertical order. I think this more readable as if the plots for each first category (Cat1) are separately plotted. Especially, if I would like to spot not only differences between one category (Cat2) but also to see whether items in category 1 are different. This is less a problem with "sex" as a by-variable but if I have eight items in a by-var it is very hard to tell differnces...
I hope the examples in my earlier post show this...
My example 1 shows the categories like this:
cat2_1 box
cat2_2 box
cat2_1 box
cat2_2 box
My example 2 shows the categories like:
CompCat_1_1 box
CompCat_1_2 box
CompCat_2_1 box
CompCat_2_2 box
With By() I get
Cat1_1 Cat1_2
Cat2_1 box box
Cat2_2 box box

Betreff: st: RE: AW: RE: AW: AW: RE: -ciplot- -eclplot- combine with box-options?
My comment was a lament, not a reproach. I'll look at the help for
-stripplot- to make it clearer that -by()- is an easy alternative to -over()-.
In return, I am not clear what you mean by better interpretable graphs than those generated with -by()-.
Kaulisch, Marc
Dear Nick,
Thanks for the follow up clarifing opportunities with -stripplot-. I am not as much into Stata that I can adhoc find solutions for two nice-to-haves I would like. 1) Avoid a composite variable for including two categorical variables (comparing sex by agegroup). 2) Better interpretable graphs than those generated with by().
I might miss features of -stripplot- or Stata again.
. sysuse bpwide, clear
1) Example with boxplot
. graph hbox bp_before bp_after , over(sex, label(labs(vsmall))) over(agegrp, label(labs(vsmall)) sort(1) descending)
2) Example with Confidence-intervals:
. tempfile tf1 tf2
. statsby mean1=r(mean) ub1=r(ub) lb1=r(lb) N1=r(N), by(agegrp)
saving(`tf1'): ci bp_before
. statsby mean2=r(mean) ub2=r(ub) lb2=r(lb) N2=r(N), by(agegrp)
saving(`tf2'): ci bp_after
. dsconcat `tf1' `tf2'
. generate axis = 6 if agegrp == 3 & sex == 0 . replace axis = 5 if agegrp == 3 & sex == 1 . replace axis = 4 if agegrp == 2 & sex == 0 . replace axis = 3 if agegrp == 2 & sex == 1 . replace axis = 2 if agegrp == 1 & sex == 0 . replace axis = 1 if agegrp == 1 & sex == 1 . la de laxis 6 "60+ Male" 5 "Female" 4 "46-59 Male" 3 "Female" 2 "30-45 Male" 1 "Female"
. la val axis laxis
. twoway scatter axis mean1 || rcap ub1 lb1 axis, hori || scatter axis
mean2 || rcap ub2 lb2 axis, hori , ///
ylabel(1(1)6, labs(vsmall) nogrid val
angle(hori)) ///
legend(label(1 "Mean bp_before") label(2 "CI
bp_before") ///
label(3 "Mean bp_after") label(4 "CI bp_after")
size(vsmall) rows(2) span)
3) Stripplot (!?) with Confidence intervals:
* Generate axis as in solution (2)
. stripplot bp_before bp_after , by(axis, compact) vertical bar
boffset(0) ms(none) xsc(r(0.8 2.2))
Nick Cox
It's a pity that Marc missed a (simpler) solution with -stripplot- that requires no dataset manipulation at all.
sysuse bpwide
stripplot bp_before bp_after , by(sex, compact) stack vertical bar
gets you there directly.
If you really want only the c.i. bars, so that the data points are suppressed, that's perverse, but you can do it too:
stripplot bp_before bp_after , by(sex, compact) vertical bar boffset(0)
ms(none) xsc(r(0.8 2.2))
In short, -stripplot- for two or more variables and two or more groups requires -by()- not -over()-. As program writer, I saw no point trying to re-create a complicated set-up when -by()- does it for you for free.
Kaulisch, Marc
Okay, it seems that -statsby- does the trick together with -dsconcat- (ssc).
Preliminary without labels etc:
sysuse bpwide
tempfile tf1 tf2
statsby mean1=r(mean) ub1=r(ub) lb1=r(lb) N1=r(N), by(agegrp)
saving(`tf1') subsets total: ci bp_before statsby mean2=r(mean)
ub2=r(ub) lb2=r(lb) N2=r(N), by(agegrp)
saving(`tf2') subsets total: ci bp_after dsconcat `tf1' `tf2'
twoway rcap ub1 lb1 agegrp || scatter mean1 agegrp || rcap ub2 lb2 agegrp || scatter mean2 agegrp
Kaulisch, Marc
Thanks a lot for this extensive answer. I learn a lot. I haven't had time yet to go deeper in the opportunities to work with statsby (will do this later). But experimenting with -stripplot- I come very early to an end...
I would like to create a graph such as
. sysuse bpwide
. graph hbox bp_before bp_after, over(sex) over(agegrp), sort(1)
But I do not want a boxplot but a ci-bar as in stripplot...
-stripplot- does not allow two vars with over.
. ciplot bp_before bp_after, by(agegrp)
looks closer to my interest...

text: For pregnant women, the state in which their bodies are put in, they are required to know about some important facts. Several pregnant women are recorded to suffer one pregnancy-related complication or another each year. Pregnant women ignorant of these facts are usually those that fall victims of these complications. When adequate prenatal care is given to pregnant women, the risk of getting embroiled in any of these complications becomes minimal. Mothers and their babies therefore stand better chances of overcoming potentially serious consequences that may occur as a result of care given to them during the state of pregnancy.

The Library will offer several brief online workshops this Thursday, November 12.
Registration required. Students, faculty and staff welcome, although some of the Streaming Video options are only open to faculty, for teaching.
Streaming Video, Thursday 3:00-3:30pm Register here.
We will start with an overview of current streaming resources. Then we will focus on Films on Demand, Swank, and Docuseek2. Also see our guide to Streaming Video, guides.library.appstate.edu/streaming-video. If you look at the guide, you might know almost everything I'll tell you or you might have questions that I can answer as part of this workshop.
Quick Look at eBooks, Thursday 3:30-3:50pm Register here.
eBooks can be a nuisance. This 15 minute workshop will look at easy ways to use 3 common kinds of ebooks in our catalog: ebrary, EBSCO, and Safari ebooks. We will not need any passwords or new accounts (except your AppalNet username and password if you're off campus). In this workshop, we will not address downloading entire ebooks, just chunks of them.
Access Journals using BrowZineWeb, Thursday 4:00-4:20pm Register here.
Are journals still as important now that you can go directly from search to articles, without touching the journal?
BrowZine Web is a new way to access our journals. It's easy for following a favorite journal and also an alternative way to see what journals focus on your subject or display that to your students. We are trialing BrowZine Web during 2015-2016. We have the BrowZine app also. See our guide, http://guides.library.appstate.edu/browzine , or just try it out at http://0-browzine.com.wncln.wncln.org/libraries/459/

I would like to tell you about an important project that is underway. A very thorough and careful review has been conducted of the libraries' ongoing and future needs for space and services, including space for group and individual study, the Writing Center, the physical collections, and the Erneston Music Library. A comprehensive renewal and master space plan was developed with input from all library faculty and staff. The plan was shared with and endorsed by the Library Services Committee in February 2015 and reaffirmed in September. In the spring, we shared the plans with the interim provost and the Council of Deans and obtained their support to begin implementation.
Space Plan
Many of the changes envisioned for the Music Library were realized over the summer. The project has achieved noticeable improvements by reorganizing and reducing the size of its physical collections, changing furnishings, and adding lower shelving that lets in more light and creates a more open and inviting environment. The difference between the old appearance and functionality and the new one is remarkable. A similar transformation is planned for the Belk Library and Information Commons, though at a much larger scale.
The Belk Library renewal project addresses the need for expansion of services and student seating, along with room for growth for new books. In the course of a year, greater than 1.24 million visitors come through our doors - more than 11 years of home football games. The number of physical visits has risen 73% over the ten years that the library has been open, which is three times increase in student enrollment over the same period. Student work space is at a premium. The Writing Center is a popular service that needs to increase its space to meet demand. Other high demand services – the Digital Media Studio and the Idea Factory – also require expansion and need to be in close proximity to facilitate collaboration between their services.
Library Collections Review
Our collections continue to grow. Approximately 16,000 new print books are added each year and the University Archives add 350 linear feet of materials per year. To address the current and future needs for services and collection growth, a comprehensive review of the collections has begun.
A list has been generated of books in the main stacks that have not circulated for more than 20 years on campus or through interlibrary loan requests. Each of these titles will be reviewed individually by library faculty to determine whether to retain the book in the collection. We invite all faculty to participate in the collection review, and the library has created a web site that provides an open process for faculty input on the list of titles under consideration. The open review period will be from October 14, 2015 through November 6, 2015.
For details about the project and access to the list of books under review, please refer to:
An additional website is being developed to provide information about the whole renewal project, and as it progresses, we will keep you informed of developments and changes that affect access to library collections or services.
We thank all of the faculty and staff who have worked with us to make the project a success.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by StevenOtero, Jan 17, 2013.
That video got me pumped. What a year for Dez. How he didn't make the Pro-bowl is beyond me. Not that I really care cause the Pro-bowl's a joke, but I'm just saying. Best part is he's just entering his prime. Glad he's on our side.
Thats the stuff right there. great job
Just an FYI, I didn't create the video. Found it on YouTube and had to share.
Good video.
All the potential in the world, hopefully he keeps working in the right direction.
Send it to Dez on twitter. Guy interacts with fans. I sent him the latest Dez wallpaper i made and he retweeted and favorited it. within 2 minutes 259 people had viewed the wallpaper
I did
RT to him
Video has me jacked up.
Dez is such a talented player. So glad he is on our team. The skills were always there, and he finally put it together this year. Had a monster year and showed he belongs in the this league. He is a a top 5 receiver, maybe top 3.
He is a physical speciman that few before him or few currently can compare to. When you combine his size/strength, leaping ability, hands, etc., Dez is in his own category. He does things no one else can do
We are seeing the beginning of an amazing career, hopefully all with the Cowboys.
At seasons end i dont think there wasnt a better wr in the nfl. Maybe megatron.
Best part of the year, watching this kid come alive.
awesome video, man is he explosive and powerful after the catch.
Was also taken by surprise there was no death metal or gansta rap to accompany the highlights, like that too!
Anyone guess what the Dez X means? Would be awesome if Cowboys fans started using that as a crowd. I know it would at least get Dez jacked, on the other hand I dont think it takes much to get Dez excited to play
I like this highlight video.
I hate it when people make a highlight video and show 1 play 3 or 4 times from every angle and then do it play after play after play.
X factor
What impressed me is in the Thanksgiving day game that 88 yarder. after the catch, he was GONE. After about 10 yards, no one else was even in the picture. And the fact that Michael Irvin said Dez reminds him of himself. That's the ultimate compliment.
Awesome! I love Dez....wish he had more players on our team that would get fired up like him.
DB's better eat their Wheaties next year because this young man is going to be on a mission...
He is a beast. Proved the doubters wrong. Was great to see him progress as the season moved on. He was one of the few bright spots this season. He will only keep getting better.
Thank God for this kid and Romo because without them we wouldn't have a chance.
BTW, great video, but perhaps the worst song I've ever heard in my entire life. Especially for a Dez Bryant highlight video. Had to immediately mute it, then my co-worker made fun of me for listening to a ****ty song, thanks a lot.
Agreed. I could not get into this highlight video because of this atrocious song that doesnt even fit the intensity of his play.

Edited because I've changed my mind!
Can't believe it but I agree.Originally posted by Germanice
Sorry, but if we can't discuss openly about our true opinions, likes and dislikes any more, skating message boards like this would be totally unneccessary in the future. Naturally I do not agree with every single point Lulu made , but neither her post nor this thread in general is disrespectful. If you want to know what lack of respect really is, read my posts :o or listen to Dick Button- and/or Peggy-Flemming-TV-commentaries about the Russian Ladies ... :D
I agree with you about Peggy's and Dick's comments about the Russian ladies, but I'd rather listen to them than to Scott Hamilton and Sandra Bezik. They egged each other on in their bias towards North American skaters, and I thought it was a total embarrasment. I felt like we were back in the days of the Cold War.
How to say everything without saying anything! I wonder who you were going to say, LOL.Originally posted by Germanice
Overrated skaters! (Edited because I've changed my mind!) -- AnkeI think it's a question of, "what have you done for us lately?" When Alexei first came out with the Morosov footwork in Winter, I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought it was the best men's short program ever. But then, we started seeing the same steps over and over, and then everyone else started doing the same thing, including Michelle and Sasha -- so it didn't seem so special after a while.Yags footwork: I know I know, I have sinned. I just don't see the big deal about his footwork. (Currently being exhiled to skating purgatory). -- Lulu
Winter is a really nice program, and very clever (I mean, catchy). But personally I don't see anything as special as many other people do in it. One of the best footwork Yags has ever done was in Revolution Etude. His new (from last year) SP also has better footwork. As well as few more of his programs. So, in my opinion Winter is overrated.Originally posted by Mathman

As for skaters themselves, my definitions of overrated would be when people treats them as goddesses and gods instead of hard-working, very talented, special in their own way, but still only human beings. I've seen quite a few skaters being overrated like that: Kwan, Yagudin, Cohen, etc. The more popular some skater is the more likely is it to happen, I think.
I definately agree with you about Candalero and Sarah. I would add Sasha.
Thanks Anke. Don't worry, I don't agree with everything you say either
Again, I wasn't trying to offend anyone.
Truth be told there are things, in some cases more than one that I like about all of the skaters I mentioned. And there are things that I don't care for as much as others might.
That's the end on that subject.
Speaking of overrated comps-How about the 4CC? Or is it even overrated? I read somewhere that it will someday overtake Europeans in terms of prestige and importance. That might happen someday-but not now. The problem I think, is that the USFSA seems to treat the 4CC as a "poor cousin"-by not sending their top tier skaters to it. I wonder how the 4CC is viewed in Asia? I do notice that nations like China and Japan do tend to send their top level skaters (S&Z and Honda for example). So maybe it is viewed differently there.

Anyone doing pseudo ballet movements to Swan Lake.
But, you knew that, didn't you?
I'm not sure if USFSA sees Four Continents as a second-tier event; i think it's more a case that the Michelle Kwans and the Tim Goebles see it as such. With Worlds looming very soon on the horizon, and the fact that the event is usually held in Asia, the top U.S. singles skaters (I say singles - notice that the top U.S. pairs and ice dancers usually attend) just don't seem to see it as worthy of their time and effort. This year, Four Continents will be in Canada, so it will be interesting to see if having it this close to home will make it more appealing (of course, if Michelle is sticking to her streamlined schedule that worked so well last year, that means she may still pass on it). Also note that the top Canadians are usually there as well. So you could wonder if the lack of top U.S. singles is what's holding it back. It seems it's just not a prestigeous (sp?) enough title for them, and the irony is it could become prestigeous if they did attend (!). About the only good thingabout the situation is that it give a chance for skaters like Jenny Kirk (and Tatiana Malinina and Jeff Buttle) the chance to say "hey, I won an ISU Championship!"
