registration requirements
There are three paths leading to registration to practice architecture or landscape architecture in Ohio. One of those paths is by examination, another by reciprocal registration (i.e., those licensed in another jurisdiction), and the last is through the reinstatement of a lapsed license.
Firms must also be licensed in Ohio. Please see the Firm Registration section for information.
Apply online at https://elicense.ohio.gov. Please use the browser, Chrome, when applying. For assistance when applying online, read the Portal Registration Guide.
Registration Requirements for Architects
Registration Requirements for Landscape Architects
Registration by Examination
First-time candidates for licensure wishing to practice architecture in the state of Ohio must meet the education, training, and examination requirements established by the Board.
Exam candidates must apply to take the exam in Ohio, in addition to requesting ARE eligibility through NCARB's My Examination.
Education Requirement
A National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) or the Canadian Architecture Certification Board (CACB) accredited professional degree in architecture is required. Applications filed prior to January 1, 2000 are exempt from this requirement. Candidates whose eligibility is voided under the five year rule (see below) must have a professional degree in order to resume testing.
Experience Requirement
Ohio follows the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) Guidelines as established by NCARB.
Reimbursement of AXP Enrollment Fees
Ohio will reimburse students for the $100 fee for enrolling in the NCARB Architectural Experience Program (AXP). The application is available on the Forms and Applications page of the Board website.
In order to receive reimbursement, students must meet the following criteria:
Examination Requirement
All candidates are required to pass the Architect Registration Examination®, which assesses candidates for their knowledge, skills, and ability to provide the various services required in the practice of architecture. Candidates schedule the ARE through NCARB's My Examination website.
ARE Concurrent With AXP
Ohio candidates may begin taking the ARE upon graduating with a professional degree and while completing AXP, or be enrolled in an "Integrated Path to Licensure" (IPL) program in any state. Candidates must have their ARE Eligibility transmitted to Ohio by NCARB and complete an Ohio application.
Taking the ARE
Candidates must submit an application to test through the Ohio eLicense portal. Once the application is approved, ARE eligibilities will be opened by Ohio and test dates can be scheduled.
The ARE® is administered by NCARB. Candidates schedule online through the "My Exam" section of the NCARB website.
Ohio candidates may take the exam at any Prometric location in the US.
Old Prometric Candidate ID numbers are no longer valid and "Authorization to Test" letters are no longer needed.
Candidates who experience problems while testing must report the problem within ten days to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Please send a copy to the Ohio Architects Board.
Special Accommodations for the Architects Registration Exam
All testing centers are designed to accommodate people with disabilities. Testing accommodations will only be made with the authorization of the Ohio Architects Board.
To receive testing accommodations, you must submit an application for testing accommodations to the Ohio Board. Please contact the board for the application. The application must be reviewed and approved by both the Board and by NCARB.
Your request must comply with requirements established for people requesting testing accommodations. Typically, these requirements include documentation of past accommodations, if any, and a specific diagnosis by an appropriately licensed professional that includes a description of the accommodations that are appropriate for your condition. The diagnosis should indicate how the condition substantially limits major life activity and its anticipated duration.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will be used by NCARB as a guide when evaluating testing accommodation requests. This ensures fairness and consistency for all ARE candidates. Once you have been approved for testing accommodations by Ohio and NCARB, you will receive notification from NCARB and instructions on how to make an appointment.
DO NOT attempt to schedule any exam appointments until you receive written notification that accommodations have been approved by NCARB. Accommodations will NOT be added retroactively to previously scheduled exam appointments and exam fees will NOT be transferred or refunded.
You must follow the instructions outlined in My Examination to schedule an appointment if you require and have been approved for testing accommodations. If you arrive at the test site and do not have an approved testing accommodation on file, you will not be admitted as an accommodations candidate, but will be instructed to call you're the Ohio Board to initiate the testing accommodations process.
ARE Study Sessions
ARE study sessions are offered from time to time by local chapters of the American Institute of Architects. They are open to members and non-members. These study sessions are not sponsored or endorsed by the Ohio Architects Board. For the most current schedule of ARE study sessions, please visit the AIA Ohio website at ARE Study Calendar.
AIA Ohio C.A.R.E.S. Program – AIA Ohio Catalyst for Architectural Registration Exam Scholarship Program
AIA Ohio has created a scholarship program to reimburse associates for costs associated with taking and successfully passing the ARE. These costs may include testing fees, study materials, etc. All Ohio residents actively taking ARE sections are eligible. Each applicant is eligible for one grant for one section of ARE passed per calendar year. The goal of the program is to encourage candidates to continue to pursue registration. Applicants are required to complete the application in its entirety. AIA Ohio Associate members are eligible for a $200 grant. All other applicants are eligible for a $100 grant. This program has limited funding. Scholarships will be evaluated in the order received and awarded until the available funds are exhausted. This program is not sponsored or endorsed by the Ohio Architects Board or the State of Ohio. For an application, please go see AIA Ohio Grant Opportunities.
Authorization to Test Letter
Authorization to Test Letters are no longer in use. Old Prometric candidate ID numbers have also been replaced.
Five Year Rolling Clock
Under the terms of the NCARB Five-Year Rolling Clock, which was effective on January 1, 2006, candidates taking the ARE must pass all divisions within five years. Ohio follows the NCARB Five-Year Rolling Clock.
Five Years of Eligibility to Test in Ohio
Test Scores
Candidates may access their scores through My Examination on the NCARB website.
Review/Appeal of Failed Exam Divisions
In Ohio, exam results may not be appealed; exams may not be reviewed.
Issuance of First License
After all divisions of the ARE have been passed, NCARB will perform a final review of the candidate's record.This review may take up to 30 days.
Upon completion of the final review, the AXP record is sent to the Board by NCARB. Upon receipt of the record, Ohio license is automatically issued if all requirements have been met. No additional fees or forms are necessary. The Board will issue the Certificate of Qualification via email.
Candidates may begin using the title "Architect" and using their license number immediately upon receipt of the Certificate of Qualification from the Board. The formal wall certificate will be issued after it has been signed by all Board members. This may take several months.
Ordering Seals
New licensees may order seals from any vendor. Check the Internet for resources. Ohio allows rubber stamp, embossed metal or electronic seals. See the "Seals/Sealing" page for the seal specifications.
Transferring ARE Scores Between States
You must notify NCARB that you wish to transfer your ARE eligibility to another state.
To transfer scores from another state to Ohio:
Contact the state where you have previously taken the exam. Ask that state to transfer your ARE scores to Ohio. There may be a fee on the part of the other state.
Candidates must also complete an "Application for Registration by Examination". There is a $50 fee. Upon completion of the exams, your AXP Record will be transmitted to Ohio and the initial registration will be issued by the state of Ohio.
To transfer scores from Ohio to another state or to NCARB:
Ask Ohio to send a certification of exam scores to the state you to which wish to transfer.
Ask Ohio to void your Ohio application.
Ohio does not charge a fee to transfer scores to another state.
Use of Title by Students, Graduates and Exam Candidates
Use of job titles containing the word "Architect", is restricted by Ohio Revised Code sections 4703.06 to 4703.18.
Only persons who have been admitted to take the ARE by the state of Ohio may use either of these two titles: "Intern Architect" and "Architectural Intern".
Any other title containing the word "Architect" or any of its derivatives is strictly prohibited.
Use of the title "Graduate Architect" by unlicensed persons is NOT permitted.
Persons who are NOT admitted to the ARE may use titles such as: Project Designer, Project Manager, Intern, Emerging Professional or Job Captain.

text: I guess Tony Danza just could not find the right silver gift to give his wife for their 25th anniversary. Instead of really looking for that perfect gift, the couple just decided to call it quits instead. Much easier than trying to find the perfect gift. I mean 25 years is a long time. That is a whole lot of pressure. Tony is the one who filed for divorce. Considering they were separated for some time I am guessing he has found someone else and wants to make her public which is always tricky when you are married.

ok so basically you are saying it's not even worth getting a detector, just hoping a cop isn't sitting there when you're going 100+?See below please.
Exactly as you said. I don't know what to add. But I'll reiterate your points. If they're using instant-on, they're visually watching for speed so your detector does nothing because by the time you pick them up, they already have you. I've just noticed a lot more are using instant-on rather than just sitting with their guns on. A detector only helps you if they're sitting with their guns on. Otherwise it's useless.
I don't know, hadn't really thought about it. Since it's been sitting out of my cars for almost two years now and doing nothing for me, just make me an offer. Go look at the completed auctions on ebay and take something off the lowest average prices. I'd rather get the bucks and take a low offer than keep it sitting here doing nothing for another 2 years. I have no plans to use it.
I don't drive slow. I hit almost 140 in my STI the other day for the first time, and my Porsche sees 150+ many times. Stupid speeds but I'm not a kid with little experience like most of you. I've done 150+ more times already than most of you will ever see in your lives, never mind the faster speeds. But I also have hundreds of thousands of miles behind the wheels of cars that are faster than anything on this forum. My other regular hangout is 6speedonline.com. If you've never been there, get ready for cars that will make everything here look like a model T, including my Porsche, which is a sub 4 second 0-60 car and will do almost 200. Once the warranty is up on my Porsche I'll be joining the so-fast-you-can't-imagine club. Hopefully a 0-60 under 3 seconds and 600+ WHP/WTQ will be a low estimate. Possibly very low. Whole different world.....

There is a way to do this. It's a bit complicated, but there's a

getting used to, but it allows you to make whatever changes you want.

This reminds me somewhat of a problem I had on Windows at version 6. On

that case the problem was with the screen driver software, and updating
this cured the problem.
I don't suppose it has anything to do with using the home edition.

We all must look around at this great country of America. A new year has begun. In what direction is America headed? What has become of our society? Some think we are moving ahead. Some call America's present direction "progress." If we, as Americans, look around, what do we see?
We see a great increase in immorality, broken homes, abortion, divorce, addictions of all sorts, drunkenness, sodomy, murder, theft, suicide and a great deal of unhappiness.
I ask, "Is this progress?" No, this is not progress.
What is the answer?
Look at the true history of our nation; yes, there have always been problems. History does reflect true facts, though. The closer America was to God and the Bible, the fewer problems there were and more happiness.
The best answer is found in the Bible:
Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord …" True progress and blessing are found in following God and his son, Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." Jesus is the best and only answer.
John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." This that Jesus said is true progress! America's greatness is being stolen. He came to give abundant life.
Mark 1:15 "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." True progress is turning from sin to a belief in Jesus Christ.
This, my fellow Americans, is the beginning of true "progress." This is the answer we need. Some may scoff at this answer and some may laugh, but think of the condition of our country at this present time. America will not change overnight, but America can make a great progression by turning back to God and the Bible, one person at a time.

Welcome to the forum. You'll get a lot of good info here.
Whatever you do, though, don't let Shipwreck know you are "interested in" Walthers. He'll talk your ear off.
Hey guys, my name's Dennis and i'm from Massachusetts. Currently 21 yrs. old, just applied for my LTC and planning on purchasing my own handgun for personal protection by the end of this month. I'm sure my father probably has a pistol I could use for carry, but I am interested in starting my own collection. I'm hoping I can find out some info here on carrying either the S&W SW99 or Walther P99 perhaps.
I've got another year of college down in Georgia, and I would like to carry there as well, so I am applying currently for a LTC as a non-res in Florida so i'd be covered in most of the South. I found this site by listening to the GunCast podcast, so a big thank you for the reference here Kevan.
Welcome to the forum. You'll get a lot of good info here.

Feel free to post any questions about the guns in the Walther section and I can answer them the best I can

By that account we should start immediately believing that Windows 8 is a piece of crap incapable of dealing with software and very difficult to use by kids and grannies. Because you know what they will say about Windows 9.
Unless someone reminds me of the fact, I don't seem to recall any software revolution happening in the meantime that completely changed the way programs look and behave. They are the same as they were. The Chrome browser is pretty much unchanged, games didn't take on a new dimension, Adobe still makes the same stuff.
Matter of fact Windows 7 is a capable operating system if there ever has one. And yet, here we are again discussing the non essential. Getting distracted by user interface changes is the best service we can make to Microsoft and its years of lack of technological innovation on fields that should be a whole lot more important to the advancement of how we use our computers. By pitching the UI as the most important aspect of an operating system, Microsoft is putting us all to sleep.
What's been Microsoft biggest
innovations of the past 20 years? NTFS and to some extent
. The first a true innovation, the second a copy of the security measures designed by other operating systems some 30 years ago. I'm being dishonest? Try it. Find me something truly technologically revolutionary about Microsoft Windows since Windows NT.
And yet we have been promised many. None delivered. Anyone remembers
during the development stages of Windows Vista?
Instead since Windows XP we have been constantly given a new face to the same technological backbone. And to makes us go silent over the lack of true advancement on the field of operating system technology, we are told its faster and easier to use.
Let's be clear about something here: Microsoft stock options have been on the flat for a good 4 or 5 years now (I think 5 should be about right). They complain people don't understand the great innovations to Microsoft products, while companies like Apple seem to skyrocket on the stock market. Well, Microsoft may fool the casual consumer, but can't fool those with the real money and who treat that money with care. True innovation is what moves a company price. Microsoft has been a beach stuck whale. No one feels that's a good place to put their money in.

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Now that the dust has settled from the trade deadline and we've begun to see the early returns on some of the moving players, it seems an appropriate time as ever to evaluate the Red Sox prospects—or what's left of them, anyway. The farm system took a hit in the offseason, when Anthony Rizzo, Casey Kelly, and Reymond Fuentes brought our good friend Adrian Gonzalez to Boston. But fortunately for the Red Sox and their fans, those three players were only the tip of the iceberg. Here's where ten notable prospects stand just a few weeks from September call-ups.
With the departure of Rizzo, Will Middlebrooks has emerged as probably the most exciting offensive player in the system. Drafted in the 5th round of the 2007 draft and still only 22 years old, Middlebrooks has been improving in each of his seasons in the minors. But he has broken out this season, attracting the attention of numerous other organizations looking to trade. Between Single-A Lowell and Double-A Portland this season, he is hitting .297 with 18 home runs, 75 RBI, and an .875 OPS.
Future: Barring injuries or prolonged slumps, don't be surprised to see him perhaps make his MLB debut at some point next season, with a likely September call-up in 2012. Long-term, with Kevin Youkilis playing hard and battered on a nightly basis, there is always the possibility that he could see some time at DH, especially if the team elects to let David Ortiz walk after this season. Plus, Youkilis has said recently that he would be open to playing elsewhere after next year (or 2013 if the team picks up his option). If that's the case, Middlebrooks looks primed to succeed Youkilis as the Red Sox starting third-baseman as early as 2013.
A supplemental first-round pick in last year's draft, Anthony Ranaudo, 21, has replaced Kelly as the top pitching prospect in the organization. He dominated the Cape Cod league last summer, and he has continued to show success and steady progression in pro ball this year. Between Lowell and Greenville (both Single-A), he has a 4.21 ERA, 96 K and 36 BB in 109 innings. His low-to-mid-90's fastball compliments a nasty high-70's curveball, and as he adapts at each level, his strikeouts should increase with his dominance.
Future: He is only 21, but pitchers have an easier time sometimes making it to the majors than do position players because of the frequent need for spot starters and relief help. As with any young pitcher, command is key: if he can keep his walks down and locate his pitches—which he has done admirably this year—we could see him as early as September 2012. We could potentially see him vie for a spot on the major league team in 2013.
It seems strange to consider Ryan Kalish a prospect after his impressive contributions to the Red Sox last year, but he is still just 23 and has just 163 major league at-bats in his career. At the start of this season, it was expected that Kalish would be one of the first outfielders to be called up from Pawtucket during the season, but he injured his shoulder in April and has only recently returned to playing in games. He is a five-tool player and projects to be an exciting speed-power player in his career. He also plays hard and with passion reminiscent of Trot Nixon. If he hadn't been hurt, it would likely be him, and not necessarily Josh Reddick, patrolling right field at Fenway this season.
Future: This future is extremely bright for Kalish, assuming he rebounds from his lost season and finishes developing in the minors before getting the call to the major league club. The biggest problem is space on the major league club. Carl Crawford is locked into left field for the near and distant future, MVP candidate Jacoby Ellsbury isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and with Reddick playing as well as he has, there is little incentive to remove him from the starting lineup. All of this forces a serious question: will the Sox attempt to trade one of the outfielders in the offseason? Kalish is a lefty, so he has little value in that regard when the outfield is already filled with lefthanded batters. I predict that the team will trade either Reddick or Kalish this winter, depending on their long-term plan. If they want to go the speed route, and possibly look ahead to a future without Ellsbury, Kalish would be the better choice, while Reddick presents more power potential.
It's a little sad that Jose Iglesias might be called "Shortstop of the Future" for years, even after he has several solid major league seasons under his belt. He has just been hyped up so much, that his attachment to the nickname is nearly as strong as the association between the 2010 season and "Bridge Year." But the fact remains that Iglesias might just be the best fielding shortstop any team is producing or has produced in years, and that alone could vault him to the big leagues earlier rather than later. All who have seen him play have lauded his advanced glove-work, lightening wrists, and smooth hands. The question lies in his bat, which has been inconsistent in the minors. The kid is only 21, though, and has plenty of time for those quick wrists to translate to the offensive end of his game.
Future: Marco Scutaro has been the short-term solution at shortstop from the moment he signed with the Red Sox, Jed Lowrie has failed to show that he can remain healthy for any extended period of time, and newly acquired Mike Aviles is expected to fill more of the Alex Cora utility role than anything else, so the job is Iglesias's whenever the organization feels he's ready. He has already seen a couple games in the majors this season, and it is not unreasonable that we might see him again this September. Look for him to compete for the starting gig next spring, and if all goes well, certainly by 2013, he could be firmly entrenched as the starting shortstop for the Boston Red Sox.
A graduate of Yale, Lavarnway is, above all else, a hardworking student of the game. His hitting has never been in question, and even now, at age 24, he probably does have a major league ready bat. Between Portland and Pawtucket this season, he has been phenomenal: .306 BA, 27 HR, 80 RBI, and a .958 OPS. But his defense has been shaky in the minors, which is the primary reason he is still in Triple-A. Coaches say he is improving by the day, however, and he could still certainly develop into a serviceable major league catcher.
Future: His road is blocked at the moment by the emergence of Jarrod Saltalamacchia this year in Boston, and as long as Jason Varitek is still playing, Lavarnway may not have a spot as a catcher on the major league team. Still, if he is added to the 40-man roster, it is very likely that he will debut in September and compete next spring for a spot on the 25-man roster. He doesn't have much more development left in the minors, and the last thing Red Sox want is for a promising prospect to waste away in the minors, so there is also always a chance the team may package him in a deal in the offseason.
Remember him? Felix Doubront was actually an important piece of the 2010 Red Sox team, if for no other reason than for filling in as an emergency starter when it seemed like every arm in the rotation was getting amputated on a nightly basis (excuse the hyperbole). The truth is that, at age 23, he is still very much a prospect. He's pitched well in the minors this year, posting a 3.17 ERA and a 2.77 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He pitched in 12 games in the majors last year and a few more early this season, but the team really has not yet decided on his role going forward. Another lefty in the rotation? A left-handed compliment to Daniel Bard in the bullpen? A lefty specialist? His future is a question mark, and after an injury-plagued 2011 so far, it still remains unclear how the talented youngster will factor into the team's plans.
Future: Assuming Doubront can stay healthy—he is currently recovering from a sprained hamstring—we should expect to see him sooner rather than later. Fellow lefties Randy Williams and Franklin Morales have been inconsistent at best in the majors (the former was sent to Pawtucket on Monday) so why not give the younger, more promising pitcher an opportunity to establish himself in the bigs? Like the other players on this list, Doubront should have a place in the Red Sox future, and that future could start as early as this month.
Alex Wilson was a second round pick in 2009 and has since developed into one of the best pitching prospects in the organization. He sports a mid-90's fastball, a nasty slider, and the occasional curveball, changeup, and two-seamer. But most admirably, he reportedly has excellent command of his pitches, which above all else, translates to major league success. In 19 games for Portland this year, all as a starter, he has a 2.93 ERA and a 2.66 K/BB ratio.
Future: Considering Wilson, 24, does not appear to be too far away from the majors and that the starting rotation looks to be mostly filled for the foreseeable future, there is a good chance that Wilson will enter the majors as a reliever. If that's the case, he should thrive with two plus pitches and great command, the makings of a potential late-inning pitcher. If he isn't added to the 40-man roster and doesn't make his debut this September, look for him in mid-2012.
Brandon Jacobs is probably the farther from the majors than anyone else on this list, and, considering he is only 20, it might be a few years before we see him in the big leagues. Yet, he might also be the best pure athlete here. Before he was a second round pick in 2009, Jacobs was fully committed to Auburn football, but in the last two years, he has progressed immensely. In Salem this year, he has a .319 batting average, 14 home runs, 26 stolen bases, and a .918 OPS. He has a high power ceiling, and his football athleticism should translate to high stolen base numbers early in his career. His flaws are on the defensive end of the game, but he is still raw and has time to develop further.
Future: Unless an outfield spot opens in the next couple seasons, there is no reason to rush Jacobs to Boston, and there are at least a few players ahead of him on the depth chart. But he is still quite young, and the Red Sox do not like to rush young players, especially offensive-minded players to the majors (see Reddick, Josh). Expect to hear more on him in the next year or so, with a possible ETA around 2014.
One of the lesser known players on this list, Bryce Brentz, 22, was a supplemental first round pick last year. He impressed out of the gate for Single-A Greenville, hitting .359 with 11 home runs and 36 RBI in just 40 games before moving up to High-A Salem. In 45 games since, he has only a .249 average but also 14 homers and 37 RBI. He still has plenty of development left, including developing patience at the plate and solidifying his defense.
Future: There is a plethora of outfield talent in the Red Sox system, and with Crawford and Ellsbury locked up for at least the next couple years, as well as both Reddick or Kalish (or possibly both) showing that they deserve spots on the major league team, Brentz has no immediate future in Boston. But on the flip side, he has some more work to do in the minor leagues, anyway, and at 22, he still has plenty of time to do so. Look for him, whether with the Red Sox or with some other team, in 2013 at the earliest.
What we saw this season from Kyle Weiland in Boston this season was more a taste than a tryout, and make no mistake, the organization loves this kid's potential. In Pawtucket this year, he has a 3.20 ERA and 107 strikeouts in 104 innings, all as a starter. With a plus fastball and curveball, he could have more of a future as a reliever, however.
Future: Weiland draws more similarities to Michael Bowden than Abe Alvarez, and believe it or not, Red Sox fans should be grateful for that. He needs to maintain the same solid command he's shown in the minors, and he could be a steady major league pitcher. Like Doubront, he could be recalled at any point from now until the end of the season, but we should definitely see him come September. Beyond this season, it seems more likely that he'll be a reliever than a starter.

When someone tinged with stardust dies, we inevitably end up knowing a little too much about them. The mawkish media engine, fuelled by death as a commodity, swiftly cranks into gear with details of childhood, celebrity friends, even – as we saw yesterday after L'Wren Scott's suicide – the way in which she ultimately let go of life.
The Daily Mail had grabbed the "Mick Jagger's girlfriend commits suicide" URL and top search ranking within five minutes of the news breaking, by simply publishing a blank page – doing so before anyone else and thereby accumulating all the page views that come with it. This is how modern journalism works; the unseemly prurience that has always been at the heart of the "tragic loss" narrative is now written, devastatingly bluntly, in code and web traffic.
But there was something rather more archaic about this story, too: the way it was reported, the packaging and the framing of it.

Between the cynicism of the news cycle and the wails of the fashion industry's professional mourners (a crowd you can really count on to throw up their hands and ululate), there are really two salient facts you should know about Scott: she was a fashion designer and she was Jagger's girlfriend. In that order.
But when the announcement came, there was only a clutch of people who described her death as anything other than Jagger's tragedy. Perhaps it's understandable, given that Scott was not an industry titan whose name had crossed into the vernacular. For those who don't follow fashion closely, Jagger's proximity is the news hook, their relationship the context. Should a famous woman's less famous husband die, she would have been invoked in the same way.
And had Scott simply been an "it girl", a society wife or a lady who lunched, the recounting on radio and breakfast news yesterday morning of her death in terms of Jagger cancelling his Australian tour might have been more justified, if still a rather unpleasant metonymy for the value put on women's lives and roles.
But as it was, the fact that Scott worked hard throughout her life, had been, variously, a model, a celebrity stylist of the highest order and a designer with her name on the schedules of fashion weeks in London and New York, was forgotten. It was secondary information and it shouldn't have been.
Scott had a Twitter following of several thousand before her account was suspended yesterday. She had styled and dressed the likes of Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz. She had carved out a career and professional portfolio that many people dream of, in an arena that is pretty hard to break into whether you are Jagger's girlfriend or not – which she wasn't when she started out.
Historically, we have remembered women through the lens of the husbands or partners they had. To do so now, even as we complain at the lack of working women in boardrooms, positions of power and the public eye, seems almost wilfully chauvinistic.
It's a depressing reality that women exist to make the news look nice, to wear clothes and to be linked to successful men. What's more depressing is that Scott had successfully built a business on the first two and it was only the third on which most people concentrated. When great men die, we talk of the family they leave behind. We discuss their work and their deeds. As we learn how to grieve via social media, we share quotes, photographs and video clips, as happened with the outpourings for Tony Benn and Bob Crow. The TV chef Clarissa Dickson Wright, who also died on Monday, was feted with facts from her unusual life and eclectic career, her obituaries shared on Facebook.
Scott was a brand in her own right – literally. She was a business. She was stamped on to labels in clothing. She lived off her own name. So for that to have been so easily subsumed into Jagger's at the moment of her death speaks volumes, not only about how the media views women's lives but also about how it views their work. µ

Neal Kopp enters his first season as Coventry's coach with just six total returning starters.
"The biggest thing we are trying to change is the overall culture of the program and the philosophy of the program," Kopp said. "I am excited that our kids have shown the willingness to be disciplined."
Kopp, a former coach at Austintown Fitch praised senior two-way linemen Jimmy Mashburn's leadership skills and said seniors Mike Smith, Randy Henline and Colton May will play tailback. Senior two-way lineman J.D. Lucas is also expected to make an impact, along with sophomore quarterback Jeff Kuykendall and junior wide receivers-defensive backs Zach Stover and Zach Sherbourne.
Mashburn, Smith, seniors Beau Cross, Brandon Burns, David Bulgrin and Derek Bauer are the Comets returning starters.

The removal of my astigmatism and other vision artifacts has been such a dramatic change that it reminds me of a drug trip. The world literally looks different. The depth and detail is different, not just crisper, it's ... hard to describe. And the detail I can see at a distance is so profoundly improved, I didn't realize how little I could see until I could make out leaves on the trees down the street. It's astounding. It's the Wave-front that did this part. It makes the treatment better than just what contacts can do for your eyes, which is LASIK without wave-front.
My sight in my better eye is 20/20 (a smidge better really) at this point a week and a half post op. My more severe eye is much better but I'm still figuring out how to use it, it will be a while before I really know the improvement for that eye. I have a strong suspicion that I will want an enhancement. But it really might just be my brain needing to relate to what I'm seeing.
Post-op I've had some discomfort. I've found that the prednisone is what keeps that at bay. I didn't want to take the prednisone initially, but I'm glad I did and I'm not looking forward to when it runs out. But that's far enough in the future that I'm hoping it just won't be necessary anymore. The discomfort is in no way something that should keep you from the procedure. It is very tolerable and the medications and suggestions the dr. provides compensate.
I think my only real complaint is that the goggles gave me a blemish right between my eyes, above the bridge of my nose, and then kept irritating it so I had it for ages. That sucked. But I doubt that will happen to everyone. I think I just got unlucky.

Myra McPherson's 'Scarlet Sisters' Feted
Red boas were sported at the Cosmos Club March 4, as William Dunlap, Linda Burgess and publisher Twelve Books hosted a celebration of Myra MacPherson's latest book, "The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage and Scandal in the Gilded Age," which chronicles the notorious Victoria Claflin Woodhull and Tennessee Clafin. The honoree thanked "the women who brought us to the second floor and even became members" of the Cosmos Club in the 1980s, perhaps less in recognition of their merits than the club's fear of losing its liquor license. McPherson's son Michael Siebert spoke proudly of his mother's accomplishments. The party's guest list was a Who's Who of Washington journalists.

Sent JD a pm yesterday asking if he'd experienced this with his XDm, which he really hadn't. The striker retainer pin, which is visible along the top of the slide behind the loaded chamber indicator (#35 in the diagram below) has a habit of braking and/or backing out as a result of dry firing, high round count/extreme use. I borrowed this pistol from a friend (XDm 4.5" 9mm) because I wanted a 9mm instead of a .40 S&W for IDPA use, and to try out fiber optic sight, we eventually traded and it became mine. I first noticed the pin backing out during dry fire practice and pushed it back in, haven't had an issue during competition. My friend had already run about 1000 rounds through it, followed by about 500 or so by me.
Attachment 59209
My initial thought was to use some loctite 620 to secure the pin in place, which prompted my pm to JD. After getting a message back, I then decided to go over to the XD forum and see if this was a common issue, and found a sticky devoted to this problem. The failure of the split roll pin is wide spread enough that a company which makes XD "upgrade" parts (PRP Striker retainer pins) has a spring roll pin that replaces the split roll pin. I ordered 6 of them today, I am planning on giving a couple to a friend, he's had the pin work it's way out during competition. I will let you know how it performs after a high round count and dry fire practice.

Mercer Corridor
Fairview to Dexter: Public and Agency Participation
The Mercer Corridor project is the result of a coordinated planning process that incorporated involvement of a variety of community stakeholders. As a result of public and stakeholder comments, technical analysis and guidance from the Seattle City Council, the Two-Way Mercer Alternative was identified as the City's preferred alternative. During the environmental process, which met both state and federal requirements, an independent Mercer Corridor Stakeholder Committee comprised of 42 individuals met 15 times and reached consensus on a package of recommendations for the Mercer Corridor. In addition, over 50 events, or briefings between 2004 and 2009 have been held to present information and receive feedback. Click here to see a log of these events.

Rascal Flatts Vow to 'Punch Some People' in 2010
Rascal Flatts — comprised of Jay Demarcus, Gary LeVox and Joe Don Rooney — have over 20 major awards they've collected since they burst onto the music scene ten years ago with their top 5 hit, 'Prayin' for Daylight.' But more than all the trophies they've racked up through the years, it's the one they unexpectedly lost to newcomers Lady Antebellum — the 2009 CMA Award for Vocal Group of the Year — that's weighing heaviest on the trio's minds these days.
"You can't ever get to a place to where you're complacent and you expect things to happen," Jay told The Boot Wednesday, at a party celebrating all of the songwriters who've penned Rascal Flatts' hits throughout the years. "We don't just expect to win awards, but after six to seven years of winning the Vocal Group award consecutively, you get to a place where you're grateful for it, but quite honestly you're human, so you go, 'Oh well, we have a few hits this year. We're going to go win the Vocal Group award.' And then you see somebody like Lady A come along and some of these great bands coming up behind us — Zac Brown Band and people like that … Anybody would be disappointed to have logged the kind of numbers that we've logged and not be recognized. Doesn't matter if you're the Flatts. Doesn't matter if you're Kenny Chesney, who got snubbed all those years. You would be lying if you said you weren't human and weren't disappointed to not be recognized."
The group didn't hide their feelings last November when they walked away empty-handed. But, they insist it's because of their tireless work, and not because they are jealous of any other artist's success. "It does get a little frustrating when we've been headlining for five or six years, and in the middle of a recession, we performed in front of over a million people last year," Gary adds. "Well if numbers don't matter, I guess they do to us maybe more than they do to other people. But that's a pretty big number and for us, that would qualify as Entertainer [of the Year]."
Just because the Flatts, who weren't nominated for CMA Entertainer of the Year, feel they might be worthy of the award Taylor Swift took home, they are still big fans her music. "I'm so proud and thrilled to see the success that someone like Taylor is having, and proud to be a small part of her success as well, with her being on the road with us," Jay says, referring to their 2008 Bob That Head tour that featured Taylor as the opening act. And though they might take a bit of her credit, they also give her props for one of their recent awards — the American Music Award for Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group.
"They made a country music category this year at the American Music Awards, and not a band category to where we were thrown in with Maroon 5 and the Black Eyed Peas," Jay acknowledges. "I think pop music is getting a little tired of having everybody show up at these awards shows and having Taylor kick all their asses!"
The group, who also lost the Grammy this year to Lady Antebellum, has ominous words for their fellow artists in 2010. "We don't expect anything, but we're coming out swinging this year," Jay warns. "We're gonna punch some people in the nose and were gonna try and take back what we feel is rightfully ours, because we believe in ourselves that much."
Celebrating ten years in the music business this year, Rascal Flatts kick off the 2010 leg of their American Living Unstoppable tour on January 15, with Darius Rucker continuing to serve as their opening act.

As much as one would think that's easily accomplished by the app, one nasty bug with Facebook 2.0 left many people scratching their heads as to why they're unable to view their friends' photo galleries. Needless to say, it's one big headache that will frustrate users, but thankfully enough, the latest update for the app addresses it. Facebook 2.1 for Windows Phone 7 is now available for download, and more importantly, it grants users access to the picture galleries once again!
So there you have it folks, you can once again peruse the magnitude of photos that your friends have taken and uploaded to their Facebook accounts. Let's just hope that nothing unexpected arises with this new update.

It is just as reasonable to expect a home owner to ask every visitor if they're carrying a gun as it is to expect every visitor to inform every home owner if they'er carrying one. Or unreasonable if that fills your glass of water better.
What I find unreasonable are those who assume that every permit carrier (or anyone else owning a gun for that matter) is going to handle--defined as having the gun on their person--in a safe manner. We haven't all had military training (like it doesn't have its share of NDs) or NRA training or any other realistic safety course. I know people with guns who shouldn't have them. I refuse to be around them when they have one in possession. They are that unsafe. Just because one possesses a permit don't mean one knows how to handle a firearm.
I do recall plenty of people stating the obvious, which is that you shouldn't invite people whom you don't trust into your home.
Regardless, if a concealed handgun stays concealed, what difference does it make if the person carrying it knows how to handle it, anyway?
Eureka! "Except that, as a homeowner, you set the rules in your house."
My point all along.
this has been asked and answered too many times, search is your friend
I think the point that the homeowner sets the rules is dead on. Following up on that, a person that is a guest in the home doesn't treat it like it's their home, they treat it like they're a guest (or should). That means the guest takes nothing for granted - including concealed carry. I for one, would throw someone out of my house for carrying concealed without asking me first.
If they don't have enough respect for me to tell me, they don't have enough respect for me to be in my house. Goodbye. On the other hand. If they asked - sure, come on in. Matter of fact, come over here and let me show you what I carry.
The difference isn't "Gun rights" or "Gun control people." The difference is showing respect to the owner of the home.
I do keep my weapon on at all times unless at work I have a ppk which is always in my car if I need a small ccw however the only time I declare I have one is if I am taking off my over shirt or jacket I ask the owner if they mind that I'm openly carrying with my over shirt remove if they say they prefer I not then I simply leave my shirt on or I go to my vehicle and "disarm"(switch to ppk).

Nissan Quest
March 2002
Has anyone had any expiriences they would like to share about they're nissan quest? We are looking to buy a new one, and would be intrested in the good and the bad. thanks cris
I don't own one, but...
A couple of years ago a brand new Quest rear-ended my 91 Ford Taurus at a red light - the results where quite suprising, the Taurus had some scratches/gouges and paint damage to the bumper (the bumper was inspected and pronounced undamaged) but the whole front bumper/grille molding of the Quest was shattered. He hit me pretty hard, and no doubt his front end was supposed to crumple like that, but it looked like a very expensive repair for a minor collision. Minor collision damage can be very expensive on many newer cars with big plastic molded bumpers painted to match their bodywork. Having bragged about the sturdiness of the Taurus, you should know that the Quest is assembled by Ford in Ohio, and is basically a Mercury Villager with minor styling differences - Ford's other front wheel drive minivan (the Windstar) does not have a good reliability record.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that when Japanese manufacturers start assembly operations in the US they don't always manage to maintain the usually excellent build quality/reliability of the vehicles assembled in Japan.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests give the Quest a poor rating - see www.hwysafety.com for details. This model is several years old and this is probably the last year before a complete redesign.
Personal Opinion: Some minivans are just a big shoebox shaped body dropped onto the manufacturers existing mid-size sedan running gear - that body and all the stuff piled into it take a lot of hauling - the engine / transmission / brakes etc. are working hard and wear out quicker. Unless you have a LARGE family you might be better off with a full-size sedan, a wagon, or (dare I say it!) one of the newer SUV's
The best website for comprehensive, impartial advice on new and used cars is Edmund's at www.edmunds.com Sam Evison
We have a '97 GXE model which is fully loaded. I don't know the current arrangements b/w Nissan and Ford but this model is a hybrid (Nissan engine/drivetrain/chassis and Ford body/components). Our experience seems to bear out this combination.
1. Mechanical/Structural Problems Encountered
a. Air-conditioning formed mildew when run with air being re-circulated (1997). This caused a vinegar-like odor. Unit was cleaned with acid and odor has not recurred but we run it using outside air when possible to reduce mildew formation. Fixed under warranty. b. Hinge on one of the side windows was slipping-out due to misapplication of adhesive (1997). Fixed under warranty. c. Squeak behind dashboard (1997). Fixed under warranty. d. Pinhole-sized air-bubble in paint on roof (1997). Fixed under warranty. e. Airbag warning light stays on (1997). Airbag OK, light switch faulty. Fixed under warranty. f. Rear windshield washer pump burned out (2001). Out-of-warranty repair cost $140. g. Footbrake warning light comes on intermittently when disengaged (2002). Not being repaired. h. Power antenna failure (2002). Estimated out-of-warranty repair cost is $120. i. Recall on fuel tank connector (2001). Fixed under recall. j. Paint fading under clearcoat in one spot on the roof (approx 1 inch in diameter) (2002). No action being taken.
2. General Likes/Dislikes Most of these problems were minor and I very much anticipated their sort after researching this model in Consumer Reports. There tends to be a little more wind-noise than one would expect but that was also minor and may have been fixed in the new models. Overall, we've been very happy with our Quest and it's taken us on lots of long road trips with a great deal of comfort. This model was one of the best minivans available with a V6 engine in late 1996. It has since been eclipsed by V6 models from Toyota and Honda which (based on last year's Consumer Reports) have better overall reliability records. Faced with a decision to buy a minivan in '96, I would still have bought the Quest. If I had to choose today, I would probably go for the Honda Odyssey. Anonymous in Pleasanton
WE have a 96 nissan quest. I agree with a previous replier: (to paraphraze roughly)It was a great minivan choice at the time - if it was now '96 I would make the same choie - the Honda Odessy is MUCH improved since '96 and I would now buy an Odessy.
With my Quest I like: its integral child seats (may not still be offered); its remote controlled back corner windows; its rear window that can open independently of the rear door; its tinted side and rear windows. What I would change if I could: make moving the rear seat easire, make the wind noise less, have doors on both sides. We have had some minor mechanical problems, one windshield crack and some minor paint problems. All in all - it's apretty darn good van for us.
We use Art's Automotive on San Pablo near Ashby for mechanical stuff and Panel Craft (in same area) for body work. happy quest driver
From: Kim
We bought a new Quest minivan in fall '94 and have been very happy with it since. We drive to northern Louisiana each winter holiday (three seasons so far) with two kids (now 7 & 12), a grandma, and the two of us. We always have a fun trip! Desert on the way there and snow on the way back (northern Arizona). Really easy to drive; it feels like driving any midsized car to me. It drives so smoothly uphill and down in all weather conditions. The Quest feels so roomy inside (seats 6 really comfortably-but will take 7); everyone feels like they have enough of their own space (we do have a Thule rack on top for the suitcases). The space inside the back door of the van for looks small, but you can really fit so much in there also. We did spend the extra money for many options - I'm pretty sure it's a heavier suspension and stronger shocks, so I don't know if that helps on the ride. We have not had any major problems - only a few noises and a broken reading light that the warranty fixed. We tend to go to smaller car repair shops for tuneups, but have had pretty good service on this van with the local Nissan shops for the initial warranty repairs.

Solar Innovations folding glass walls
Ph: 800/618-0669
Three door stile widths options are now offered on Solar Innovations' folding glass walls. Wide thermal stiles feature the company's thermally-broken aluminum frame and are larger in size than the standard thermal, allowing for larger, heavier doors while still maintaining aesthetic appeal, the manufacturer notes. The standard thermal stiles also utilize a thermally-broken aluminum frame system, with smaller stiles to provide an average sized frame option for traditional door applications. The standard thermal stiles are the only hurricane-certified option, the company points out. Non-thermal stiles can be used for smaller door applications.

"I used this card for our daughter baptism and loved the outcome of how the card looked in person. The quality of the paper and the printing was amazing and didn't look generic. Surprised my husband of how they looked and plus didn't tell him because he doesn't believe an invite should cost more than 25¢, but he was so happy with the outcome and thought they were worth every penny!"
"Quality of invite is great. Printing is flawless. Only issue is that one of my twin babies has a shorter name than the other so it looked a little funny."
"I changed all the fields and turned it into a thank you card for my daughters baptism with a photo of her in her dress and it turned out great!"
"I purchased these invitations for my daughter's baptism and they are simply gorgeous. I received so many compliments on them from my guests. The card was very easy to customize with my daughter's picture. I like that you are advised of the print quality vs the resolution of your picture. This is a very helpful feature especially when the photo is the main part of your invitation. I used a picture that I had taken with my iPhone 5S and it printed really well. Love this product."
"It was a perfect 2 sided card. We needed enough room to provide information for the church and the reception afterwards. Just what I was looking for."

Do you think it could be the Deva products? I only ask, because my Day 1 hair after I Low-Poo, One C, and Arc Angell looks like total garbage! I mean, really, the worst! I was sick over how much money I spent on these products the first time I used them, so disappointed. But then, something weird happens overnight, and my Day 2 hair is great.
I am certain for me these products are to blame, because I can get very good Day 1 hair using any other product line-up, even an ultra cheap drugstore routine like Suave and LA Looks.

Art Print
by Claude Monet |
Visiting Venice with his wife in 1908 for three months in a bid to overcome a bout of depression Monet was overwhelmed by the beauty of the city, claiming its splendid sunsets are unique in the world'. The work, not completed until four years later in the artist's Giverny studio, shows the view of San Giorgio Maggiore Island at dusk. The island's church is silhouetted against the backdrop of a sunset above the sea. The sky is filled with colour as deep reds merge into orange and then dark blue with the same colours reflected in the sea. Unlike similar works, which study the effects of shifting light patterns, Monet here sought to capture a moment of personal significance, with the painting forming a souvenir of his time in the city.
