I love Halloween! It gives me an excuse to be a complete and utter dork and dress up in clothing you wouldn't find me in any other time of the year...
It also gives leave to the ladies to show A LOT of skin. Something about the holiday lets us bring out the inner vixen inside. (Well at least here in Colorado it does...cold weather be damned).
Last year I went as the oh so classy, elegant, seductive woman known as Holly Golightley a.k.a Audrey Hepburn and I really enjoyed putting together the costume....so much so that this year I decided I would create my own costume completely from scratch (^_^)......
I decided to go with Harley Quinn from Arkham Asylum.
I decided aside from a few problematic pieces (mainly the corset and boots) that the costume shouldn't be TOO hard to do....
Boy was I wrong.
Don't get me wrong...I ended up having a super cute white skirt lying around my house, readily found a shirt from the ARC, even discovered the proper type of fabric with which I wanted to create the corset.
The accessories were pretty easy to locate as well.
The *bleep* corset and *bleepity bleep* boots on the other hand......
After a week the corset was completed (did I mention when I first did this I had no sewing machine?....yeah....). For those who want to know leather is a pain in the butt to cut, it bunches, it pulls...it doesn't want to cut straight.
After two weeks I just gave up on the boot covers and decided the world could deal with black boots...what was my nerd card going to be revoked because the boots weren't correct? Were people going to strip me naked on the street because the costume wasn't 100% perfect? NOPE....well at least I hope they wouldn't as that would have just been plain awkward.
I wore the costume first for the release date of Arkham City....I have a lot of hair so sadly a wig was not an option I did my best with the hair spray dye but yeah....didn't work to well. Check out the first run of the costume below.
Yessss my legs are pale....anyway...
I fixed up the costume some more before the final run of it friday night and I quite liked the way it came out...now enjoy the pictures!!! (The cute lil asian with me is my cousin, she was a spider queen....funny thing was both of us were villainesses yet people kept coming up to us telling us, "You can save me anyday..." Silly non-nerds)
And that's all the pictures folks! Oh no! I know I promised a video but I ended up taking pics instead!
So what do you think of the costume? I went sans nurses hat cause the thing kept falling off....sad day indeed. What else did everyone else dress up as for Halloween?
Let me know!
Happy Halloween everyone!
BTW I have been playing Arkham City and IT IS EPIC!
Though I did rage quit for all of five minutes because of Zsasz....that guy and his damn telephones!

Gokivo offers both basic and 3-D turn-by-turn navigation on your iPhone, offering both spoken directions and street names as well as real highway signs and road views. Its monthly and yearly subscription prices for both its basic and enhanced 3-D navigation include automatic provision of updated maps via your carrier's data plan or local Wi-Fi signal.
The app supports social networking features via Facebook. It will post your location via FB check in to your Timeline. Like FourSquare, this is good and bad, as it lets others – read your local criminal element – know that you aren't home, so exercise caution when posting data of this type. It's also not a great idea to network on Facebook while you drive. If you must check in somewhere, please do so after you are done driving.
The app has support for local search so that you can find movie theaters, gas stations, local events, etc., near your current location. Gokivo can do this via text as well as voice input. Though it does local search very well, that's not the app's strongest point. The app is very good at multitasking, giving you the ability to control and listen to your favorite audio app while continuing to receive audio directions in either English or Spanish.
I found the app and its 3-D navigation interface to be a bit clunky, however. I really hate the cutesy car icon that it uses to illustrate your location. I was much happier with the blue dot in other screens.
The app also REALLY wants you to stick to the route it plans for your trip, using the data it has. If, for example, you're on a road that is close to, but not part of its current map, the app will only reroute you so many times before it finally assumes you're off road and don't want to go to your destination. The app doesn't quit, but will cancel your planned route, leaving the displayed map on your iPhone's screen.
This was the app's fatal flaw for me. Any app that I use, especially a GPS app, shouldn't assume that I want to cancel a trip whether I'm on route or not. Even a GPS app that delivers Maps on Demand may not have the latest road schematic, especially in newer residential areas. Making an assumption that I'm off-road and don't want to go to my planned destination and auto killing the navigation session isn't acceptable.

New county office a place to go for those in need
Human Services Agency is latest tenant at Under One Roof building
Life became a little easier for at least one destitute family when the county's new Human Services Agency office opened in Thousand Oaks recently.
Benefits specialist Jessica Angulo Chavez says that not long after the agency opened its doors at the Under One Roof building on Hillcrest Road she helped a young mother with two infant children qualify for CalFresh—formerly food stamps— and a host of other benefits available to families in distress in Ventura County.
Three weeks earlier, the woman's husband had been deported to Mexico, Angulo Chavez said, leaving the family without its only breadwinner and the children, both under the age of 3, with nothing to eat.
After filling out paperwork with Angulo Chavez's help, the Thousand Oaks mother was able to take home emergency cash to pay for rent and groceries. Although she is not a U.S. citizen, her children are, and as such, qualify for government assistance.
The mother was also directed to the Women Infant Children (WIC) Program, a federal food program run by the county, and to Lutheran Social Services, both across the hallway.
"She was very appreciative. She started crying in the office actually, because that's how happy she was," Angulo Chavez said. "She finally saw some light at the end of the tunnel."
Until recently, local residents had access to limited agency services at a small satellite office on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. But long lines and longer waits often greeted visitors, many of whom chose instead to travel to the agency's fullservice Simi Valley office to apply for state-provided health insurance or food benefits.
Angulo Chavez said some clients with small children spent up to two hours taking three buses to get from T.O. to Simi Valley.
"I think that our being here brings hope to them. I can see it in their eyes and face," she said.
Residents who are down and out and need government assistance aren't the only ones to benefit from Human Services Agency's new office.
The nonprofit Community Conscience, which owns the two-story, 17,500-square-foot Under One Roof building, charges market rent to WIC and the county agency.
The arrangement allows about a dozen social service nonprofits to stay in the building rent-free. Community Conscience charges those organizations only a nominal utility fee.
Dee Crawford, Community Conscience president, said that because the county agency agreed to take the place of the Social Security Administration— which moved in June to 322 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd.—the difficult task of finding another anchor tenant was avoided.
"Let's face it . . . a for-profit entity is probably not going to want to come to a building where the homeless are served," Crawford said. "Our nonprofits do so much to help people. But (in the community) there is that NIMBY attitude—Not In My Backyard."
Crawford said she originally approached Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks about the possibility of the county moving in. Parks called it "a great fit."
"It's always something I felt the county should be involved with . . . particularly the Human Services Agency, which helps people who are down on their luck and having economic problems," Parks said.
She said she likes the synergy that's developed among the different nonprofits because of their proximity to one another.
The Under One Roof tenants have occasional get-togethers to inform one another of the services they offer. They refer clients in need to services and share resources.
For example, the Senior Concerns boutique gives free vouchers to Lutheran Social Services, which will give a voucher to a client in need of clothing for a job interview.
Last year, Under One Roof tenants served more than 45,000 people—which doesn't include clients of the Social Security Administration, Crawford said.
"So can you imagine how many people we're going to serve now," she said.
In a year or so, the WIC program is expected to move out of Under One Roof and join a county health clinic and urgent care center at the former Borders building at 125 W. Thousand Oaks Blvd., after renovation there is complete. Those medical services will be within walking distance of Under One Roof.
Crawford said she'd like to offer WIC's space rent-free to a nonprofit but that depends on whether Community Conscience can pay the building's expenses with the county's rent and funds raised at the organization's annual Mardi Gras Ball. The nonprofit has paid off its mortgage but has ongoing expenses that include a part-time office manager and building maintenance.
"We haven't made that decision yet," she said concerning WIC's space.
Even though the organization lost a sizable part of its income when the Social Security Administration moved out, the board of directors wouldn't think of shutting down the building, Crawford said.
"We would never close down, because we believe too much in what we're doing here," said Crawford, one of some 24 volunteers that run Community Conscience. "But we were concerned that we would have to charge some kind of rent (to the nonprofits) in order to keep going."

Fourth-grader Grayson Bruce has been the victim of bullying at Buncombe County Schools because of his My Little Pony lunch bag. The school's immediate solution? Ask Grayson to leave the bag at home.
9-year-old Grayson and his mother, Noreen Bruce, are disappointed by the NC school's decision. Ms. Bruce points out that "Saying a lunchbox is a trigger for bullying is like saying a short skirt is a trigger for rape. It's flawed logic; it doesn't make any sense."
School officials argued in a statement to abc13 that their request is part of "an initial step was taken to immediately address a situation that had created a disruption in the classroom. Buncombe County Schools takes bullying very seriously, and we will continue to take steps to resolve this issue." Despite the school's insistence that they take bullying seriously, no move has yet been made to punish or address the bullies themselves.
Grayson Bruce says he understands why My Little Pony makes him a target for bullies. "Most of the characters in the show are girls, and most of the people put it toward girls, most of the toys are girlie." Bruce adds that, "They're taking it a little too far, with punching me, pushing me down, calling me horrible names, stuff that really shouldn't happen," the 9-year-old explained.
This news comes after bullying drove an 11 year old boy to attempt suicide by hanging himself from his bedpost in January, also over his My Little Pony fandom.
This week, Rueters reported on a studying tying bullying to suicidal thoughts. Rueters reports that children who are bullied are twice as likely to attempt suicide as children who are not bullied. Mitch Van Geel, the study's lead author from the Institute of Education and Child Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands, explains that "There are now meta-analyses that demonstrate that bullying is related to depression, psychosomatic problems and even suicide attempts, and thus we should conclude that bullying is definitely not harmless." Van Geel concludes that "efforts should continue to reduce bullying among children and adolescents, and to help those adolescents and children involved in bullying."
The Buncombe County School Board provides its students with a thorough definition of bullying in its policies, yet makes little in the way of promises of decisive action: "If appropriate, the person making the complaint shall be notified of the results of the investigation and what, if any, disciplinary action the school system shall take against the individual accused of bullying, harassment, hazing or discrimination."
Interested in preventing bullying and the psychological damage it causes? Learn how you can help by visiting Stomp Out Bullying, the nation's leading bullying and cyberbullying prevention organization for kids and teens.
Meanwhile, Grayson leaves his My Little Pony lunch bag at home and waits to find out what "steps" his school might take against bullying.

Blackout: the total eclipse seen this morning in Accra, Ghana.
Photograph: Sarah Left
I had originally planned to watch today's total solar eclipse from the comfort one of Ghana's beautiful beaches, writes Sarah Left. But in the end it seemed churlish to deny the country's less-than-captivating capital city the few minutes during which it actually had a tourist attraction. And despite some worries in traditional belief systems about bad omens, and in the popular evangelical churches about God's mysterious intentions, the sudden darkness was met with cheers and jubilation in Accra.
Newspapers, television and radio had for weeks been full of warnings about the consequences of watching the eclipse without special safety glasses. Commuters in Accra seemed to have taken note, and along one of the heaving main roads into the city centre people hung out the windows of clapped-out minibuses or gathered in suits and ties in front of offices to try out their glasses. Sharing was widespread, as each pair retailed for up to 15,000 cedis (£1), a huge amount of money in a country where the average person doesn't earn that much in a day.
The British Council held an eclipse-viewing breakfast for the public, handing out 1,500 pairs of free solar safety glasses along with cups of shockingly sweet iced cocoa. As the light began to fade, everyone rushed into the Council's garden for a look. Shouts went up at the moment the moon completely covered the sun, and for just over two minutes of total eclipse we were free to take off the safety glasses and observe the hazy ring of light around the moon. Birds rushed for their nests and the stars were visible in the strange sudden darkness.
Some people, though, enjoyed the event on a whole different level. Locals traditionally think of the moon as feminine and the sun as masculine. As one Ghanaian woman jokingly explained: "It's the first time a woman has completely conquered a man."

Sailboat Identification Help
I am an American Military member stationed in Okinawa. I just started sailing and I am looking into getting a sailboat. Here's the problem, the language barrier is making things pretty difficult. I will be going to look at the boat in the link, but cannot find any information on it. It is listed as a Hayashi 27 and I am told it was made in 1981. I would like to do my research before I look at it. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I can't post links yet. But the site is called island-boat and the boat is number 740.
Re: Sailboat Identification Help
This one??
If so she looks like a pretty typical IOR influenced 80's racer.. fairly spartan interior, but the glass work looks tidy enough. It would take some additions to make it into a good weekender, most likely, but she looks like she'd be fairly quick. Boats of this type from that era tended to go upwind very well but get a little skittish downwind in a breeze.
I trust they have the normal kind of marine survey system in place there, be sure to have it thoroughly checked and since you're there I'd think that some of the locals would have some knowledge of the builder and design unless it's a total one-off...
Could be a fun daysailer, don't know how to convert but a price tag of 800K for a 27 footer's a bit scary!!:eek:
Edit.. went back and translated that page.. pretty funny. 'climb' = upwind, I guess ;)
Re: Sailboat Identification Help
Thanks for the intel Faster. You've given me plenty to research. And the yen to US Dollar rate is close to 100 yen = $1 US. The want about $8,000 US but said they are willing to negotiate. Thanks again for the help.
Re: Sailboat Identification Help
How long will you be in Okinawa? What's the boat market like there? $8,000 isn't a HUGE chunk of change, but that's like buying a car. If the market there is as soft as it is here (global recession, so it's a possibility), if/when you're moved, you're going to have a hard time selling the boat. Are you willing to have to walk away from the $12-15K you're looking at actually spending on her (all boats need work, and you'll want to customize her to your style, hence the added costs)?
Personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd look into renting boats, or finding another servicemember who has a boat and going for rides (or serving as crew) with him/her. Sharpen your skills that way, then buy a boat when you get back to the States, assuming you'll be settling here, and not in Japan. If you want to make Japan, and especially Okinawa, your permanent residence, then you can ignore my comments... ;)
Re: Sailboat Identification Help
Jimgo: I will be in Okinawa for another 2.5 to 3.5 years. The boat market here is...awkward. The locals don't list there boats in many places, the Americans do. I've seen Americans sell there boats quickly and I've seen Japanese boats that have been on sale since 2011. I agree with your statements about having a hard time selling the boat and that it would be a good idea to rent boats instead. Here's the problem, the rental boats have a limited navigation area. Okinawa is part of the Ryukyu Island chain that consists of 161 islands, I cannot travel to any of them with a rental boat. I have been renting boats here for the last several months, but I need my own boat to accomplish my goals. Thank you for the advice.
Re: Sailboat Identification Help
As long as you know what you're getting yourself in for, then go for it! We'll all be very happy for you.
More importantly, thank you for your selfless service to our country. It is appreciated more than you know.

I am 27 weeks pregnant and have been seeing Kathy Sloan and really have no complaints about her (she is the only midwife I have seen there due to my schedule.) Although at my last visit, she seemed really off...
She explained some paperwork I should fill out, twice with out realizing she just talked about it, would stop mid sentence and say she had no idea what she was talking about and switch topics. I felt like I was dealing with, I don't know, someone with Alzheimer's? It was so discouraging!!
My goal is to have a natural birth with little to no interference in a birth tub. I live in Northern Baltimore and her office is close, and Mercy is not too far away. I had a bad experience with my first child's birth (home birth) and even now saying I want a natural birth.... I will do anything, and have any intervention done if my provider even senses at all that something is off. So really I need my provider to really be on top of things. And my last visit with Kathy just made me sad. I will do anything to have this delivery go well, but the thought that I will have to start a search all over for a new provider just is so disheartening to me!
So please any advise, comments on Kathy and the other midwives at her office (recent experience would be most helpful- mostly because I have already heard how wonderful she has been with others in the past), any recommendations in the Northern Baltimore area of OBs/midwives that have hospital privileges in the area, or any other comments related to this.
Thanks so much.
I had a baby boy at Mercy and used Kathy's practice in March 2012. Overall I had a very positive experience and I am considering returning to the practice despite having moved to Cecil County - the hour drive to baltimore for prenatal visits and for the birth may just be worth it depending on what I can find in terms of care up around here.
My favorite midwife was Barbara. She and I seemed to just click. She was no-nonsense with a sense of humor but didn't seem judgmental or pushy. She stopped by my room after baby was born to say hi a few times and answer questions I had about circumcision. She is great.
Next favorite was actually Kathy herself. She came off to me as very "earth mother" and is very knowledgable and always answered my and my husband's questions thoroughly. Never felt rushed during prenatal visits with her.
Bayla delivered my baby. I had hoped for a drug-free birth using the tub but after being stuck at 8 cm (in the tub) for 4 HOURS I was exhausted and scared that I would be too tired to push so opted for an epidural. Turns out my water had only partially broken the night before. Bayla's personality and mine don't mesh that great, I had a hard time feeling super comfortable with her but she was patient with me. I kind of wish she had thought to make sure my water was fully broken before I got the epidural but I don't know, maybe you can't tell that sort of thing? So I do wish that either Kathy or Barbara had attended my birth but really I dont' have anything bad to say about Bayla or my overall experience, either. Bayla also gave me some terrific advice after my birth when I was combatting the baby blues, she advised me to take a complex B vitamin and it helped tremendously.
Kate I only met with once due to my schedule, and was a little offput by her simply because she warned me about how much weight I was gaining (she herself is thin and very pretty so I admit I was probably being oversensitive :) ) However, she was the midwife on call a few times I had called in before going into labor and she was very helpful.
That's my experience. Maybe I will see you there in the coming months! Best of luck.
I am curious if anyone else has used them recently, because the only births I have heard at Mercy with them in the past several months have been induced. I'm getting the impression that they're falling into the CYA territory brought on by fear of Maryland's attitude toward CNMs, but I'd be happy to hear otherwise.
I'm not telling- thanks so your post! I do hope others will also chime in positive or negative experience with this group of midwives. I would like to birth without any interventions if me and baby are safe.
Thanks again ladies!
Just a caution re: Mercy, since you mention you're interested in waterbirth with as few interventions as possible. I don't know if this is still the case, but according to an old thread, Kathy doesn't allow mamas to birth in the tub unless she makes sure your amniotic fluid is clear. In order to do that, she breaks your water. Probably worth checking her current policy on this. HTH!
But thank you and I will ask more questions with the other midwives there that I see.

Real tennis is the "original" tennis from which the lawn version was derived. First played between 1200 and 1500 AD, the game is also known as Royal Tennis, Real Tennis, and (in the US) Court Tennis.
About 40 courts are in use today, the majority being in Britain. Today, the game is played in just 4 countries – the UK, US, France, and Australia.
The Real Tennis World Championship is the longest running championship of any sport currently played. Rob Fahey, the current world champion, hails from our small corner of the world, first learning the game in Hobart in the 1980s. He first won the World title in 1994 and recently defended his title (again!) in 2012 at the Queen's Club.

Mubarak Transfers Some Power to Vice President But Won't Step Down
President Hosni Mubarak said he transferred some power to his vice president but refused to step down Thursday as tens of thousands of protesters calling for his resignation gathered in Cairo to hear the nationally televised address.
In a speech Mubarak said was "from my heart," the president said the protesters' demands that he step down were legitimate. He said he would lift emergency laws when security permitted and had requested six constitutional amendments. He said he would admit "mistakes" but was "committed" to steering the country out of this "difficult situation."
"The priority now is to recover trust amongst the Egyptians," Mubarak said.
He also vowed that "there is no going back to the old days."
The military said Thursday that it would step in to "safeguard the country" and told throngs of protesters in Tahrir Square that their demands will be met.
President Obama, speaking in Marquette, Michigan, on Thursday before the speech, said the U.S. supports a peaceful transition to democracy in Egypt but did not comment directly on Mubarak. He called it a "moment of transformation."
"America will continue to do everything we can to support an orderly and genuine transition to democracy in Egypt," Obama said.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians have choked the streets of capital Cairo for 17 days in a dramatic protest that began as a grass-roots Internet campaign to oust Mubarak from his 30-year reign. On Thursday, protesters in Tehrir Square chanted "We're almost there, we're almost there!"
The military supreme council announced on state TV its "support of the legitimate demands of the people." Mubarak, the commander in chief of the military, was not present at the council's meeting.
Mubarak addressed the swelling crowd in Tahrir Square for the first time four days into the protests and asked his Cabinet to resign and vowed reform, but protests continued.
Those watching the unrest unfold in New York's Egyptian community in Queens on Thursday were hopeful but still uncertain about what was to come for Egypt.
"Now in Egypt our dream [is] going to happen, you know what I mean?" said Mohammed Zaitoun, 28, who manages Firdos, a hookah bar, on Steinway Street in Astoria. "But I don't know what's going to happen. I'm so worried. I'm waiting for President Mubarak, what he's going to say."
Zaitoun said he came to New York five years ago, following his brothers many years earlier. He spoke against the backdrop of a television screen flashing images of Tahrir Square and said his brother, sister, nieces and nephews were somewhere in the massive crowd that had gathered there.
"The government make control about you for everything," he said. "For everything. They kill your dream. For life, for job, for love, for everything."

How Cloud Computing Will Change Application Platforms
Posted by John R. Rymer on April 26, 2011
- 788 Recommendations
- 2 comments
Cloud computing will bring demand for elastic application platforms.
Promises that cloud computing can save money and reduce time-to-market by automatically scaling applications (either up or down) oversimplify what it takes to develop application architectures to achieve these benefits of elastic scaling. Few of today's business applications are designed for elastic scaling, and most of those few involve complex coding unfamiliar to most enterprise developers. A new generation of application platforms for elastic applications is arriving to help remove this barrier to realizing cloud's benefits. Elastic application platforms (EAPs) will reduce the art of elastic architectures to the science of a platform.
EAPs provide tools, frameworks, and services that automate many of the more complex aspects of elasticity. These include all the runtime services needed to manage elastic applications, full instrumentation for monitoring workloads and maintaining agreed-upon service levels, cloud provisioning, and, as appropriate, metering and billing systems. EAPs will make it normal for enterprise developers to deliver elastic applications — something that is decidedly not the norm today.
Forrester defines an elastic application platform as:
An application platform that automates elasticity of application transactions, services, and data, delivering high availability and performance using elastic resources.
We see organizations moving toward EAPs by extending their current web architectures, following one or more of four paths:
- Extend web architectures with elastic caching. We find widespread adoption of elastic caching platforms across the economy — not just in consumer-facing web products and properties. Application development and delivery shops that adopt elastic caching products introduce EAPs' computing-services/data-services combination into their architectures — and add a certain degree of elasticity to their applications.
- Add NoSQL for "big data" applications. Most application development and delivery teams seem to adopt NoSQL products to create so-called "big data" applications. These applications typically analyze large and/or fast-changing pools of data that would be too expensive to manage using conventional relational database products. Some organizations use NoSQL products to improve their ability to deliver data and/or content to mobile devices. Shops that adopt NoSQL products introduce an elastic data service into their architecture.
- Adopt EAP distributed computing layers to virtualize applications. Some application development and delivery teams introduce new middleware to help them adapt existing applications to take advantage of elastic scaling. Application development and delivery shops that implement specialists such as Appistry, Cloudsoft, CloudSwitch, and Paremus introduce EAPs' computing services and deployment services layers to their architectures.
- Adopt PaaS products that provide EAP concepts. Lastly, platform-as-a-service products will introduce many application development and delivery teams to the benefits of EAPs.
We are fast approaching the "crossing the chasm" moment for EAPs. Only a handful of vendors are offering comprehensive EAPs today, but Microsoft is in the game with its Azure platform. So are salesforce.com with its Force.com portfolio and GigaSpaces with XAP. We expect IBM to push its WebSphere platform into the EAP arena this year. And Oracle, as well. Bottom line: The big enterprise vendors will soon be offering EAPs too.

Just over eight months after receiving a liver transplant, FC Barcelona's French defender Eric Abidal has been cleared to start playing again with the first team by his doctors.
According to Spain's RAC1 , Abidal was given the okay to rejoin his former teammates after a meeting between his doctors at the Hospital Clinic, where the defender received a new liver in April, and the team's medical staff and directors.
According to the report, the reunion concluded with the decision that since Abidal had recovered favorably from the transplant he could continue on with his playing career.
With the holidays right around the corner, press reports in Spain have Abidal starting to practice with the first team in an incremental manner with the work expected to pick up in January and actual game minutes coming after that.
The 33-year-old defender, who played for Monaco, Lille and Lyon before joining Barcelona in 2007, has won numerous trophies with the Catalan club.
Early in 2011, Abidal and the team announced that he would undergo surgery to remove a tumor in his liver . He recovered from the surgery in time to play in that year's Champions League final that year only months later.
Unfortunately, in March 2012, Barcelona announced that more problems with his liver would require a transplant . Now, it appears Abidal will be back at the Camp Nou in coming months.

Clemson University, Bachelor of Arts in Architecture,
Book Chapters
Through her twenty-five years of collegiate teaching and professional practice, Kathy Poole has developed a national reputation for her inquiry, expertise, and passion for creating sustainable landscapes that integrate both technical and design excellence. One of her specialties is integrating ecology and design toward projects that both regenerate ecological systems and connect people to landscapes in engaging and beautiful ways. Her primary vehicle is combining urban and green infrastructures in unique ways that benefit the projects' aesthetics, functionality, and budgets.
Ms. Poole's second passion is history. In order for landscapes to be places, they must be situated within their historical contexts, making relationships between what the landscape was, what it is, and what it will be. This does not mean necessarily replicating a past state of the site. Instead, we carefully construct a framework for understanding each of the site's different aspects and how they should be retained or transformed to its contemporary context. We embrace a view of history that is not static but alive and vital—true to important generative principles and also responsive to its contemporary contexts. By remaining attentive to both natural and cultural history, Ms. Poole works to maintain and/or restore the authenticity of each landscape–delivering projects that are truly unique and convey a memorable sense of place.
Due to her cross-disciplinary expertise in architecture, landscape, and ecology, Ms. Poole is often called upon to act as mediator and facilitator among team members and between client and user groups. Whether in Baltimore or in teams across the country, she creates a design environment that allows various disciplines and expertise to find common ground and more innovative solutions. Her work as communicator between design team and community help garner support and establish trust in otherwise contentious contexts.
Ms. Poole's design work is award winning and critically acclaimed, and her essays and designs have been published at home and abroad. And her investigatory mappings have been exhibited across the country.
A popular speaker and charrette/public outreach facilitator, Ms. Poole has been invited to lecture at over a dozen universities and numerous conferences both within the US and abroad, among them USGBC's Greenbuild, ASLA Annual Meetings, Congress for the New Urbanism, the Society for College and University Planning, and the Society for Ecological Restoration.

Opinion: Meet the Terrible, No-Good Tea Bag Running for Virginia Governor
Virginia Lt. Governor Bill Bolling just removed himself from contention for the 2013 Republican gubernatorial nomination, and I'm going to tell you why you should care.
Right now, everybody has election fatigue, myself very much included. I checked my e-mail yesterday and was actually relieved to find ads for Viagra from Bangladesh instead of the 250 fundraising e-mails that I got on a daily basis for most of 2012.
The general consensus is that things are settled. Obama won, the nuttier element of the Republican Party got told where to go, gays and lesbians can get married in more states, people in Washington and Colorado are now free to strap bongs to their faces, and all is right with the world. Only total obsessives with no lives whatsoever would be concerned about the Virginia governor's race, right?
Besides, any life-challenged New Yorkers are probably focused entirely on the only other gubernatorial election going on in 2013, which would be right over the river in New Jersey. That's understandable, especially if it turns out to be Christie vs. Booker. But no matter how that election turns out, it's not going to tell us anything. If you remove the charisma and the bluster and the sound bites, what you have is a competent, inclusive, deal-making, moderate Republican incumbent running against a young, Democratic urban mayor in a state that has been reliably blue since 1988. In other words, no matter who wins, it's doubtful that anyone will look at the results and say "Holy !@#$, they elected THAT GUY?"
Virginia is a different story altogether, mainly because since Bolling hit the eject button on his bid for Richmond, the path is now clear for a guy named Ken Cuccinelli, and he's about as moderate as a punch in the face. If he wins, which is very possible, any talk of the Republican Party moving back to the center will go by the wayside.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Virginia went blue last month. It went blue in '08 as well, and the very next year they elected Bob McDonnell as Governor. McDonnell graduated from Pat Robertson's law school on the back of a thesis that actually used the word "fornicators," and Virginia had no problems putting this guy in office. It didn't help that he was running against Creigh Deeds, who wasn't necessarily a bad guy, but he was about as charismatic as a cold bowl of oatmeal. Plus turnout was pretty low. A lot of Virginians who voted Democrat the year before thought they were covered in magical Obama pixie dust and wouldn't need to concern themselves with what went on in Richmond anymore.
They absolutely should have, because along with McDonnell, Ken Cuccinelli was elected as the Attorney General. While McDonnell was at least able to moderate his personal beliefs as governor, Ken was under no such restraints.
He hadn't been in office for three months before he demanded that public colleges and universities in Virginia remove their anti-discrimination policies for gay and lesbian employees, faculty and students. His argument was that since the schools were publically funded, and since the state legislature had never included gays and lesbians in their anti-discrimination policies, Virginia universities had no right to offer them legal protections of any sort. It was a clever way to please the Lynchburg and Virginia Beach folks while camouflaging it as just him being a stickler for procedure.
That was just one of his high-profile, wingnut-pleasing moves. He demanded that the University of Virginia turn over any and all e-mails sent or received by noted climate change scientist Michael Mann so he could check for evidence of fraud against Virginia taxpayers. Mann had applied for research grants from the state and had left UVA by 2005, but in 2009 somebody hacked the e-mail servers of the Climatic Research Institute, where Mann was then working. Years of overwhelming scientific consensus was thrown into doubt, mostly because one of the e-mails contained the word "trick," and that was probably the only word on those e-mails that any of the climate change deniers actually understood. (And they still misunderstood it.)
Cuccinelli's request for the e-mails was overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court, but his attempts certainly gained him the respect of people who believe that climate change is just a way for the government to come for your Ford F-150.
If you go down the wish list of every teeth-grinding, talk radio-listening conservative, Ken's hit a lot of the items. First to file a state lawsuit against Obamacare? Check. Pushing for college students to be allowed to carry concealed weapons on Virginia campuses? Boy howdy. Trying to make abortion impossible if not illegal by coming up with new regulations that would have been impossible for clinics to meet? Ken's your guy. Granted, a lot of his moves were overturned, buried, or otherwise ignored, but at least he tried, didn't he?
Mention moderation to the Republican Party in Virginia and those guys simply can't stop laughing. Normally, candidates in Virginia are settled through a primary, but this year the Republican nomination was taken away from the voters and is being determined through a closed convention. Bill Bolling, who is a Republican but not a zealot, might have been able to win if the primary was on a ballot, but the Party has made it clear that they want Cuccinelli.
So here's the big difference between the New Jersey election and the Virginia election: A Cuccinelli victory in Virginia can be considered a bellwether election for which way the Republican Party is going to go. If Cuccinelli wins, social conservatives and tea partiers can point to Virginia and make the argument that going Stone Age isn't the political suicide that everyone thought it was. If he loses, all this talk of "moderation" might actually turn into something. If anybody is eagerly looking for the Republican Party to skitter away from the fringes, they might want to wait until the Virginia election is over.

Altuve, Gonzalez enter JetHawks Hall
All-Stars join 2012 title-winning coaching staff as inductees
By Lancaster JetHawks | August 2, 2013 8:57 AM ET
LANCASTER, Calif. -- The JetHawks will welcome five new members into the team's Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony prior to Friday night's 7 p.m. game against the High Desert Mavericks.
Former JetHawks, and now Major Leaguers, Jose Altuve and Carlos Gonzalez plus the entire coaching staff from 2012's championship team will make up the 11th group of individuals to be enshrined.
The induction ceremony will begin on the field at 6:15 p.m. and will be led by longtime Antelope Valley Press columnist and Hall of Fame Committee member Brian Golden.
New inductees are voted on by the Hall of Fame Committee prior to each season. This year's inductees will put a total of 46 individuals in the JetHawks Hall of Fame.
Jose Altuve: The Astros second baseman was the fastest player ever to reach the Major Leagues after leaving Lancaster. He was also the 100th former JetHawk to reach the big leagues. He debuted with the Astros on July 20, 2011, less than two months after his final game with Lancaster.
Carlos Gonzalez: The perennial All-Star outfielder of the Colorado Rockies has made a case for being the most successful former JetHawk of all-time. Gonzalez played in Lancaster in 2006 as a member of the D-backs organization. He hit .300 with 21 home runs and 94 RBIs in just 104 games.
Rodney Linares: Lancaster's current skipper did in his first season what 15 JetHawks managers before him could not do. Linares won the franchise's first ever California League Championship in 2012. He is currently in his second season as the team's manager.
Darryl Robinson: The JetHawks hitting coach is currently in his fifth season with the JetHawks. He has been the hitting coach in Lancaster since the JetHawks began their affiliation with the Astros in 2009.
Don Alexander: This is Alexander's second consecutive season and fourth overall with the JetHawks. During last year's postseason, he led his pitching staff to an 8-2 record and a 4.05 ERA.

Lasting approximately 50 minutes long, the meeting marks Obama's second encounter with a Roman Pontiff since his election in 2008, the first being between him and Benedict XVI in July of 2009.

Change in annulment process could lead to 'grave damage'
Washington D.C., Mar 27, 2014 / 04:06 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Ecclesiastical tribunals are an essential part of the Church's saving mission -- thus changes to their procedures, including the annulment process, should be considered with great care, Cardinal Raymond Burke has said. Understanding the Church's tribunal system, Cardinal Burke said March 20, "requires an understanding of the service of canon law in general to the saving mission of the Church, and its role in the Petrine … [Read more...]

Rugby as a tool for rehabilitation and reintegration
TBILISI, Georgia, 17 October 2011 - The progress achieved in teaching Rugby at the Special Educational Establishment for convicted young offenders was summed up at the special event organized by the Georgian Rugby Union and the Ministry of Corrections and Legal Assistance with the support of UNICEF. The rugby initiative, including the rehabilitation of the sports field in Avchala Special Educational Establishment in Tbilisi is financially supported by the European Union.
In April 2011 Rugby lessons were introduced at Avchala to help them learn about healthy lifestyles and teamwork. Up to now 60 children have been involved.
"For UNICEF sport is critical for a child's development. Involvement in sport can boost children's health, improve academic performance and help reduce crime," said Roeland Monasch, UNICEF Representative in Georgia. "Rugby is very popular in Georgia and the introduction of Rugby lessons for children in Avchala has been an important undertaking made possible through a close collaboration of the Georgian Rugby Union and the Ministry of Corrections and Legal Assistance. We are happy to support the introduction of this important initiative."
The Rugby lessons will last till November 2011. The lessons are considered a component of the ongoing juvenile justice reform.
"We believe that Rugby and sport in general is the best way to divert young people from delinquent behavior and imbed in them values such as respect, friendship, support to each other, accepting defeat with honor," said Nodar Andguladze, a coach from the Georgian Rugby Union. "Rather than returning to criminal life in the streets, we offer them a healthy alternative – Rugby. I am sure some local rugby clubs will offer assistance to these kids when they are released and it will speed the process of their re-socialization."
The rugby lessons in Avchala Special Establishment are conducted twice a week for two hours. During the lessons healthy lifestyles and good hygiene messages have also been disseminated among young people. Members of the Georgian Rugby National Team visited the children; and a friendly match was organized, including members of the Georgian youth rugby club, Lelo and members of young national teams who participated in the Junior World Rugby Trophy in May 2011. Total Rugby TV recorded a film about the initiative which was transmitted in over 30 countries.
"We hope that the Rugby lessons will continue, as we believe that it will promote not only a healthy way of living among these children but will impart values such as team work, discipline, and respect for others. We fully support the Georgian Rugby Union in their efforts and vision to promote rugby as an educational and rehabilitation tool." added Roeland Monasch.

Man busted smuggling heroin in shoes
Man wrapped narcotics in duct tape to fit the soles of his shoes
SALTON CITY, Calif. - A man attempting to smuggle narcotics was arrested by Border Patrol agents on Wednesday night.
Around 10:50 p.m., a 49 year old man driving a Toyota Camry was stopped at the Highway 86 checkpoint located between Westmorland and Salton City.
After questioning the man, agents determined he was a 'raitero' (unlicensed taxi driver). He was giving a 20 year old man a ride.
After inspecting the vehicle, agents discovered the passenger was hiding heroin in his shoes. The narcotics were wrapped in duct tape and formed to fit in the soles of his shoes.
They said the drugs weighed 2.04 lbs. and had an estimated street value of $20,400.
Both the passenger and driver were taken into custody. The D.E.A. is investigating the case.
Agents didn't say where the man was traveling from or where he was planning to go.

When we heard from the editors of this up and coming online mag that's geared towards living it up in style in the south (think Lonny meets Southern Living) we couldn't wait to see the premier issue. And when they actually explained that they wanted us to BE in the premier issue… well, let's just say lots of dorky high-fiving ensued. They went on to tell us that Southern Flourish will have a reoccurring column called "Our Favorite Room" and they wanted us to introduce that feature by dishing about which room in our house is our absolute fave and why. How did they know that's totally our idea of a good time? Seriously, we

Burning Question: Clear The Air
This week's burning question is all about smells. Namely: do you use any form of air freshener in your house to keep it smelling… well, fresh? Is it a plug in? Potpurri? A scented candle? A diffuser? Some sort of heated oil? Or something a bit more natural (like lemons down the garbage disposal or a bowl of coffee beans on the counter)? Psst- Wanna make your own reed diffuser?

You might remember some of the gorgeous spaces like this… And this: And this (see the whole original House Crashing tour right here): It's a seriously unforgettable home, right?

Reader Redesign: One Brilliant Board
You may remember Carla from back when we helped her transform her kitchen with some paint and a few simple switcheroos. So when she sent over her great little DIY chalkboard calendar project we had to share it. Here's her letter: I had to pass along our latest update – we made a chalkboard wall calendar in our kitchen! We were inspired by none other than Master Crafter Martha Stewart and thought that her chalkboard wall calendar idea would look great in our home. To my surprise, it was fairly simple to do – all you need is black chalkboard paint, a few foam brushes, white paint (which we had plenty of from our kitchen
Window Shopping: Charlotte Or Bust
We recently mentioned our trip to Charlotte, North Carolina when we explained how we DIYed a few faux sheepskin throws for our house. And now we're back to share more of our road-tripping details. We dropped in on a slew of fun fabric and decor stores (and snapped photos of a ton of inspiring ideas as we went) so here's a little virtual play by play of what we liked along the way. We already mentioned that we swung through Mary Jo's Cloth Store, which is basically the biggest and most insane fabric store that we've ever seen. It's actually a gigantic 32,000 square foot warehouse full of about a million bolts of fabric (we're

You may remember that we whipped up this custom mood board for Lee a while back when she came to us for help turning her hodge-podge of a room into a space to sort mail, do homework, and store a few things in a more appealing way. Since the room's visible from a plethora of other adjoined spaces, it serves

Our other already-owned project materials were Mod Podge and six sheets of wrapping paper (given to us by friends who founded this awesome local paper shop called Ink + Paper). And just for fun we selected three different patterns to use inside of our six

Gina's ready to completely overhaul her family room. Here's her letter: This is very exciting. I'm so thankful for the chance to work with you! My family room desperately needs your help. It's large (20′ x 24′) and I'd like to be able to use it more effectively – hopefully for two functions (maybe squeeze in a table and chairs or some sort of other "zone"). My style could be described as sophisticated classic, I like luxe materials here and there (silk lampshades or velvet pillows) and I like comfort, warmth, and rooms that are inviting. I gravitate towards dark wood, simple stripes and florals, natural patterns like leaves/vines, and green, ivory, brown, and ruby red
Budget Blooms: Pretty In Pink
Remember when I shared my first of the year flowers a little while back (a sweet monthly gift from the hubs)? You may recall that they had a bit of New Year's sparkle thanks to a cake stand full of gleaming silver ornaments for take one, and a few weeks later I remixed them with less of a holiday slant since we were well into January at that point. Well those inexpensive grocery store blooms lasted for pretty much all of January but then February got the best of us and before we knew it we were blinking our eyes and it was almost March- and we still hadn't purchased any February flowers. So while
Nursery Progress: How To Refinish A Veneer Dresser
Well, we recently took on the biggest nursery project to date and we lived to tell the tale. This post is a bit of a two-fer, since it not only details how to stain any wooden or veneered piece of furniture but also touches on how to paint anything that's wood or veneer since we did a two-toned treatment on a dresser that we hunted down on the cheap. That's right, we stained our "new" six drawer dresser with a deep rich brown tone and painted the top a crisp and glossy white color. Here's how it all went down. First we had to search for something to add tons of storage space to our

Here is a bit about me: I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education from California State University at Northridge. I returned to California State University at San Marcos to get my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I first taught in a job-share at North Broadway Elementary School in Escondido, CA with my talented teaching partner, Mrs. Katie Nack. After three years I transitioned to middle school where I taught 6th grade self-contained classes at Bear Valley Middle School and Rincon Middle School, and worked At-Will helping students in a small group setting. During that time, I continued challenging myself by adding a Single Subject English Credential and a Foundational Science Credential. I also added a Physical Education Supplement.
I feel very fortunate to work with PLUS students creating an inclusive culture on our campus. I share their heart for creating connections among students and improving our campus one relationship at a time! I am also glad to teach my STEM/Engineering elective believing that our nation's future prosperity depends on our young people's ability to be innovators able to compete on an international level. Hopefully, students will return to me in 5 years with the news that they were inspired to consider Engineering as a career through this class!
My husband, Kevin and I have two girls, Nicole and Kirsten. Our family's "baby", Buckley, is an 85 pound Golden Retriever/Black Lab Mix. I enjoy walking, gardening, reading, and, like most middle school students, socializing!

kevlar51 wrote:Ukraine is nice to own if you can somehow manage to control Asia--fewer spots to build up your army. But trying to hold Asia is usually a fool's errand. Personally, I think the same about Europe--way too many spots to defend.
My personal strategy (if practical) is to capture Australia as soon as possible. If you can build up there early enough, people tend to ignore you since you're out of the way. But it's a nice way to get an extra two armies every turn and it's easy to defend since there's only one way in.
Last Risk post - I've never seen anyone really control Asia until it was just down to 2. And at that point, it's usually just two Conglomerations of Death (my term for the massive armies that accumulate on one territory towards the end of the game).
I've never decided if I agree with the Australia strategy. True, it's easy to defend, but what's your next move? Waiting for others to fight it out? Because it's not like you're gonna take over Asia anytime soon. I'll always go for North America if I can get it, and if not, South America/Africa combined.

I'm in the process of hooking up my gauges. I'm trying to find a place to hook up the lights so that they dim with the rest of the dash lights. I checked the factory gauge manual, and it uses a pigtail on the radio harness. But when I check this with my meter, it seems that Subaru has decided to use the ground side to control the dimming. As you dim the lights, the ground goes closer to 12v. Sounds stupid to me.. but that's the way it works. If my gauges used a separate ground for just the light, it would be fine.. but the same ground is needed to work the gauge as well.
Can anyone tell me where they tapped their gauges for lights?
