Memorable Quotes from the College Search
For the next couple of weeks, all of the Hopkins Interactive bloggers will be writing on a common theme: our thoughts and reflections on the college application process. We've all been exactly where you are now and hope that sharing our experiences will help you through this momentous (but challenging!) time in your life.
While a lot of my friends raved about all of their fun college visits and said that they would have been perfectly happy at many of the schools that they visited, I was convinced that the "ideal school" was out there, and I approached the college search as more of a process of elimination. Here are a few particularly memorable quotes/ moments of realization in the college search process that led to me decide what were important qualities in a school and why Hopkins was the ideal place:
1) "(While visiting a university in a small colonial town) Sarah, if you went here you could dress up like a colonial person and get a job in the Cheese Shop." – Dad
As appealing as that sounds, a powdered wig is not my style, and I could probably think of a million things I'd rather be doing than working in a Cheese Shop. I wanted to go somewhere where I could get an internship in the city, maybe work in a research lab, or maybe volunteer at a hospital to see if I want to go into the medical field. Rule 1: No small colonial towns, and no cheese shops.
2) "(While visiting a school in Pennsylvania in the middle of a snowstorm) Oh don't worry, it doesn't usually snow here in April." -Parents
My parents insisted on taking me to visit the college that they both attended. A week before this visit we were at a different school down south where it was sunny and gorgeous, the quads were green, and the students were all outside. Sure enough, one week later when we visited my parents' college, it snowed in the middle of the tour. (I'm using the term "tour" very loosely. It actually consisted of Dad pointing to all of the buildings and saying "That used to be a snack bar/frat house/other campus establishment that no longer exists.") Anyway, it wasn't just freezing cold during this "tour", it snowed. In April. I think I would have gotten frostbite if our visit had been in January! Rule 2: Must not have blizzards in April. (And a word of advice – don't let your parents give college tours).
3) "Sarah, this drive is 7 hours. We can't all be in a car together for that long." -Alex (little sister)
No offense family, but this statement is completely accurate. Rule 3: Must not be too far away or without a train station nearby.
4) "Did you really like that school, or did you just like walking around Manhattan with Bridget and eating macaroni and cheese?" –Mom
I think we both knew the answer to this question. I feel trapped in big cities, and I have the worst sense of direction in the world. Even though my visit to Manhattan was easily one of my favorites, clearly it would not have been a good choice to attend school there. Rule 4: A fun visit does not constitute a suitable school.
5) "If you went here you might need to be a little more fashionable." – Alex
What can I say, not all of us can be as stylish as Lauren or Tyler. Although I am no longer wearing my lacrosse shorts to 8 AM physics section like last year, I still have those days when I don't feel like matching my top to my sweater or picking out the perfect accessories (or any accessories for that matter). At one school I visited everyone looked so polished and perfect, and wearing sweatpants to the coffee shop in the morning would not have gone unnoticed. I have no desire to look cute before going to Einstein's to get my coffee in the morning, so it's kind of crucial that I won't be the only person walking around campus at 8 AM in pajama pants. Rule 5: The students must not look too perfect or get dressed up to get their morning coffee.
6) "(At local university 30 minutes from my house) If we went here we would just be at the gelato place all the time. It would be just like high school except we would be ten blocks from the gelato. Sarah, you'd know where to find me." – friend from high school
I LOVE ice cream. The only food that comes arguably close is chocolate. The gelato place that my friend was talking about has the best triple chocolate gelato, which is the best in both worlds. I spent a lot of time at this gelato place throughout high school, and one of the schools I was considering was only about a mile away. As fantastic as it would be to live so close to the delicious gelato that was such a part of my high school experience, I felt like I needed a change for college. Attending that school would have been too reminiscent of my high school life for many reasons other than just gelato, and it's good to branch out. Rule 6: Must not be strangely reminiscent of high school, and must not be located anywhere that would prompt me to eat too much ice cream.
7) "(At an info session for a certain Ivy League university) None of you have had enough experience to know what you want to do yet, and our curriculum helps our students to discover their interests." -Admissions officer.
While I can appreciate how colleges use core curricula to create well-rounded students, I would have to argue against the statement that this admissions officer made in this info session. I already knew what types of classes interested me and didn't want to be told which courses to take. More importantly, I knew which classes I didn't like and never wanted to take again (*cough* math). I like biology, foreign languages, and just about anything that involves reading books, and I wanted to have room in my schedule to take as many of these classes as possible. Rule 7: Must not be a school where I have to take math, but must be somewhere with good humanities and science programs.
8) "How about you go here so that when I apply I can put on my application that I'm a legacy." Elizabeth (little sister)
Regardless of the fact that Elizabeth wasn't being serious with this comment (she was much too young to be worrying about college!), I think it made me realize that I wanted to go somewhere where I knew my sisters wouldn't end up. My sisters and I took a lot of the same classes and did a lot of the same activities in high school, and I wanted to go somewhere that would distinguish my path from theirs. I'm sure they're both going to end up at excellent schools, but I don't picture them at Hopkins, not even a little. On the other hand I've met a lot of people here who have similar personalities to my own, and for that reason I felt like I fit in well here. Rule 8: Must be somewhere that fits my personality, and not somewhere my sisters want to go.
9) "(At a university in Middle-of-nowhere, Virginia) Sarah, if you went here, Phil (our dog) and I would move to a log cabin in the mountains and walk to campus in the morning." – Dad
Do I really need to elaborate on this? Rule 9: Anywhere where Dad would consider moving is a big no.
10) "The food isn't… terrible." – tour guide (while making a very unconvincing face).
Since I already dedicated a good portion of this blog to how much I love ice cream, I'll spare you the long explanation of why food is obviously a priority! I'm going to miss home regardless of where I go, but I'm going to miss it that much more if there's no good food at school. Rule 10: Must have good food.
Somehow, after considering all of the opinions/comments/sarcasm of my family and friends, I decided on what was important to me in a school and that I needed to be at Hopkins. Hopkins has a gorgeous campus in a great location with a lot to offer in terms of internships, research, and community service. There is a lot of freedom to take whichever classes you want, there is good food, and it's a good distance from home. Also, the students are great. I've met some of my best friends here along with many more supportive and friendly people. And did I mention that there's good food here?
Whether you are just starting the college search process or whether you have submitted your applications, I encourage you to think about your interests, think about what you do (and don't) want to do in the next four years of your life, and just go with your gut feeling. If a school meets all of your academic needs and also feels like home, it's probably safe to say that you've made the right choice. Best of luck!

question about wiring outlets?
Wiring up some outlets, residential bedrooms. What is required or the preferred method?
If I have two wires coming into a single gang box should I use the two set of screws or should I pigtail and only connect to one set of screws so if in the future the outlets breaks the other outlets along the circuit continue to work.
What about three wires going into a single gang?
All grounds going into a box are crimped, each device in the box also gets on of those grounds as well.
Your choice.
Either way is code compliant.
Make sure the box is large enough for the number of wires and device.
Switches and receptacles count as 2 for the number and size wire.
When 3 cables are used, pigtail for sure!

Knork Flatware Forged Steak Knife 4 Pc Set
This set of four top-quality steak knives is hand formed from solid bars of stainless steel. These knives are forged, not stamped, and have a high carbon content. Specialized design features provide optimum balance, precision and ease-of-use.
The black bakelight handles have contoured, enlarged ends that can be held comfortably in either the right or left hand. Unique finger platforms at the top of the handles are helpful to those who need better leverage while cutting and who find themselves shortening their grip on standard knife handles. It is extremely dangerous to balance a finger on top of a knife blade. The finger platform is a safer alternative that also helps the user to cut through foods with less expended effort.
The knife blades are forged from high carbon stainless steel and have a curved, slightly serrated edge. They are durable, rust-resistant and stain-resistant.

Search Assistant WebSearch Description
Search Assistant WebSearch is a Potentially Unwanted Program that is associated with the Search Assistant WebSearch search engine. There have been complaints that Search Assistant WebSearch has replaced computer users' default search engine and homepage. When installed, the Search Assistant WebSearch toolbar is added to the victim's Web browser. This unwanted toolbar is designed to deliver sponsored search results and advertisements to its victims. Using the Search Assistant WebSearch toolbar, shady marketers and software developers can generate advertising revenue which, when all added up, can be quite significant. While these types of toolbars can be used to help support software developers creating or distributing freeware, the main problem is that computer users often do not have the capacity to avoid their effects. Because of this, ESG security researchers strongly advise against installing the Search Assistant WebSearch toolbar or using the Search Assistant WebSearch search engine.
Search Assistant WebSearch's Characteristics and Symptoms
Computer users affected by Search Assistant WebSearch have reported that this potentially unwanted program causes the appearance of pop-up advertisements and significantly affects the infected computer's online connection. Although Search Assistant WebSearch is marketed as a convenient way of carrying out online searches, there are numerous issues associated with this browser hijacker, including the following:
- Search Assistant WebSearch may be difficult to remove completely, often requiring the manual removal of certain components and system modifications and the aid of a reliable anti-malware program.
- Search Assistant WebSearch may be associated with other types of infections.
- Search Assistant WebSearch may affect your computer's performance, making it slower or prone to crashing. Search Assistant WebSearch may also cause the affected computer to display various error messages and pop-up windows.
The Best Way to Remove the Search Assistant WebSearch Toolbar
ESG security analysts first recommend removing Search Assistant WebSearch manually. Once this is done, it will be necessary to undo any unwanted changes made to your computer's settings, including your Web browser's homepage and default search engine. ESG malware analysts then advise using a reliable anti-malware program to run a full scan of your computer to ensure that the Search Assistant WebSearch toolbar and its associated search engine have not exposed your computer to other PC infections. To prevent similar PC infections, ESG security researchers advise following safe online browsing guidelines and always using a fully updated anti-malware program.

Experts have been trying to figure out why the United States does not measure up to other countries in terms of life expectancy – despite the fact that it spends more per capita on health care, and has a population that is relatively wealthy and well-nourished. A feature by Reuters shared a report that explained why.
A report from the National Research Council, which was released on Tuesday, identified smoking as the major factor behind the disparity in lifespan between Americans and citizens of other countries. The panel of experts also mentioned the following in their report: "Other factors, such as obesity, diet, exercise, and economic inequality, also have likely played a role in the current gap and divergence between the United States and other countries."
Ranked 1st in terms of life expectancy is Japan; the United Nations said that a child born today will most probably live to be 83, on average. The United States, on the other hand, is ranked 36th, with a life expectancy of 78.3.
While it may be true that the number of Americans who smoke has declined over the years, in 1960, more than 40 percent of American adults smoked. The experts wrote further that smoking was more widespread in the United States fifty years ago, when compared to other countries; there were more Americans who were smokers, and who "smoked more intensively" during that time, according to the experts.
"The health consequences of this behavior are still playing out in today's mortality rates," they added.
Things are likely to improve, however, given the fact that smoking rates have dropped.

So you're looking to play video games. Prior to playing, you will need to buy a video game system if you don't have one already. This is a solution that is as simple as your need to buy a Television if you're wanting to watch a TV show but do not own a TV. There are many game systems out there right now, spread over 2 generations and 3 major brands, and that's where things can get sticky. You've already made the choice to buy a gaming console. The only question that remains is Which is the Best Gaming System? That's where we come in.
Best Video Game ConsolesThis is a list of the best video game consoles available today! This list will evolve as technology requires. Check back frequently to read about the latest advances in video game console technology and news.
Why should I get a Console Gaming System?
It's not entirely accurate to say that a gaming console is a better selection than that of a PC. Opting for a console over a PC is entirely dependent on what kind of taste you have, your amount of patience, what kind of budget you have to work with, and how much technical knowledge you have. Based simply off of the number of games available, power, and flexibility, a PC is easily the choice you should make. However, in order to get the most out of it, you will need a decent amount of skill and, let's be honest, that's just not something everyone has. We are going to begin by making the assumption that you are a beginner and are not someone that's already building out your own machine from scratch.
To begin with, Gaming Consoles are significantly cheaper than what you will spend on a gaming PC. You can get an Xbox One or a Playstation 4 for around $400 each at Amazon.com. Granted, you could probably build a PC for that amount, however it will not have as much power for games that your console will at that level of investment. When you start thinking about PCs that are dedicated to gaming, the components alone will run you at least twice that much and will easily cost thousands of dollars when you buy them already built for you.
In addition, the consoles provide a consistent hardware platform that is sure to be relevant for many years to come while, on the other hand, a PC game that's built today is built using the technology and hardware that's relevant today. Five years from now, that technology is almost certain to be archaic. The hardware that's used to make console gaming systems today will be the same exact hardware that will be used five years from now. As a matter of fact, it's highly probably that games that get released 5 years from now will work even better on your console gaming system than it would on a PC. It's just a better, more durable system because of the foundation of the hardware.
The Latest Consoles (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U)
What was once known as "Next-generation" gaming is now the current gaming generation because all of the major manufacturers have recently released their latest consoles. Now we are probably not going to see another game system for quite a few years. That just means you should no longer wait for the "latest and greatest" before buying one or you could be waiting a long time. In fact, it has been over a year since the release of the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 and, in that time, each has been able to develop a pretty sizable collection of downloadable and retail games. Granted, their aren't as many games as what you can find for the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3, however their are more than enough for you to get your gaming on. One thing to keep in mind, non of the prior versions of these consoles are backwards compatible. If you have games from the older version of a console, you will not be able to play those games on the newer consoles. In other words, you can't play games you bought for a PS 2 on the PS 3.
Each new system is awesome for future-proofing your games library over the next couple of years. As developers learn how to get increased power from the Xbox One and PS4, the games that were created for them are only going to become more technically and visually impressive. Launch libraries are always hit and miss, but there are more than enough promising cross-platform and exclusive games getting developed and will be released in the next few years to make a strong case for each system.
In the previous generation, the PlayStation 3 was the big cheese of game systems that had media features, because it was able to play Blu-ray discs where the Xbox 360 was not able to. However, now the roles are reversed, as both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are capable of playing Blu-ray movies, and the Xbox One also provides a wide range of media features that the PS4 lacks. You are able to take control of your cable or satellite box via the Xbox One, either with your gamepad or through voice commands. And the system's HDMI pass-through and on-screen channel guide combine live television, online services, and gaming into a single connected experience, so you won't need to go back and forth between device inputs in order to enjoy your favorite movies, shows, and games. The PS4 provides a number of online services and is able to play Blu-ray discs, however it is missing television integration and HDMI passthrough, so you're unable to watch television as you're doing something else on the system.
Sony and Microsoft both offer premium online services via the PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold memberships, however while Microsoft requires Xbox Live Gold to access nearly all of the online functions on the Xbox One, you just need to get PS Plus if you're looking to get in on some multiplayer game action. Your'e able to access Netflix, Hulu Plus, the Web browser, as well as some other non-gaming online features without having a membership on the PS4.
Next we will discuss the Nintendo Wii U a little. At a little over $300 at Amazon, the Wii U is an unusual video game system that's built up a pretty solid library of games over the two years since its' release. Using a gamepad with a large touch screen that displays the game you're playing or offers a second screen with extra information you normally would not be able to see on the HDTV. The second-screen feature is fun for multiplayer games by introducing new player dynamics, however its major selling point is the capability of playing many games straight from the Wii U gamepad's screen. Although this seems like a minor function, it makes the Wii U invaluable if you often find yourself in a struggle with roommates or family members over the control of the television.
Even though the Wii U is considered to be a part of the newest generation of gaming, the hardware is really more like that of the last-generation Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 than it is to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It's able to output1080p video, a first for any Nintendo home console, but other than that it's not built with quite the same emphasis on processing power as you will find on the other two systems. Wii U games are still looking excellent, but in a couple of years from now the more powerful hardware on the Xbox One and PS4 will begin to separate themselves in the arena of graphical feats the Wii U won't come close to.
All of the features online for the Wii U are totally free, however they're also somewhat anemic when put in comparison to that of the Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Premium memberships are not being offered for its online service, however it also doesn't offer any decent matchmaking or multiplayer features beyond what is available in the individual games. The Wii U is also incapable of playing Blu-ray discs like the PS3, PS4, and Xbox One, however it is able to access online services such as Netflix and Hulu Plus. The Wii U also has a handy feature that morphs the gamepad into a universal remote for your HDTV and cable box.
An issue that's plagued Nintendo gaming systems in prior years is also a problem for the Wii U: a library that's inconsistent and depends mainly on first-party titles. If you are looking to play the newest Mario or Zelda game, the Wii U is the only choice you have for the home, and there certainly are plenty of compelling titles you will only be able to find on the Wii U. To the contrary, if you desire the most awesome experience in playing the latest release of Call of Duty or Madden games, the Wii U will most likely be a bad choice because of inconsistent cross-platform ports. On a good note, the Wii U is the sole gaming system that is backwards-compatible out of all of the newest systems. You're able to play old school Nintendo Wii games on the Wii U with no problem.
Older Console Models (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii)
The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which you can buy for around $300.00 at Amazon are looking at the ends of their eras. Games will keep trickling out for them for a while, however sooner or later those little green and blue disc cases are going to disappear from store shelves and will be totally replaced by a slightly different green and blue disc cases from Xbox One and PS4 games. In the meantime, each of the "last-gen" systems are still worthy of being purchased, mainly when you consider the price tags are nearly half that of their more modern siblings.
Each game system are capable of accessing online services such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, as well as Amazon Instant Video. But, just the PS3 is unable to play Blu-ray discs; the Xbox 360's optical drive is DVD-only. As with their current-generation models, you require an Xbox Live Gold membership to be able to use nearly all online features on the Xbox 360, although you're able to access online services through the PS3 without having a PS Plus membership. Contrary to the PS4, you are even able to play online games on the PS3 without having PS Plus.
Sooner or later, Xbox 360 and PS3 titles will just disappear as publishers begin to focus mainly on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This is something that happens to all game console generations, and sooner or later the last-gen hardware will get relegated to the shelves of the pre-owned. Even this won't render these systems useless, though; a functional gaming system and possible Blu-ray player with an enormous library of titles you can find used for very little cash is a solid piece of equipment to own, even if you love the latest and greatest and consider yourself a tech-junkie.
The Nintendo Wii, unfortunately though, is a corpse. Nintendo is not developing any new Wii games, and there are no Wii titles to look forward to in the foreseeable future. However, the good news is, you can buy a used Wii for less than $100. Actually, it's smarter to buy a used Wii than it is to buy a new Wii Mini ; the $100 Wii Mini does not have that same backwards-compatibility like the Wii, which allows you to play GameCube games on the full-sized Wii. The GameCube, while the game library is over 10 years old, there are still many classic games you should be able to have fun with to this day, such as Rogue Leader, Eternal Darkness, Super Mario Sunshine, as well as the original Resident Evil 4. If you are only looking to play Wii games, the Wii U will be perfect for you. If you are looking to play some of the GameCube titles as well, you will require either a Wii or Nintendo's ten year old purple box.
Check out the Games
Keep the most important question in mind: Which games are you looking to play? Do you prefer to play some of the more classic titles or are you ready to play the latest releases? Are exclusives on any platform such as Halo, Gran Turismo, or Mario what you're looking for?
If you're buying a gaming system, it's safe to assume that you're getting it to play video games. If you only wanted to watch television shows and movies, you'd get a Blu-ray player or a Netflix Account or even an Apple TV. These systems cost a lot more than those little media hubs as they can play video games, so you have to think about which games you want to play prior to deciding on a platform. Big time franchises such as Call of Duty and Madden are always available across multiple platforms, however each system has a group of exclusive games that, depending on what you like, might sell you on one console over another. Visit a video game or electronics store and check out the different gaming system sections. If one group of shelves appears to contain more games that interest you, that might be the best gaming console system for you.

text: Second EUNIC project, led by the Romanian Institute and financed by European Union is an inter-cluster project, lasting a year (fall 2009 – fall 2010), commemorates the collapse of communist systems in Europe through the lens of those born in 1989. The project's main features were four international meetings gathering young Europeans in Brussels, Bucharest, Prague and Warsaw. Young people from Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Belgium, UK, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary have lived their lives in distinct historical contexts. One of the objectives was to bring some of these young people together and to offer them a space to share and discuss experiences and expectations for their future. To attain this outcome, four two- day international meetings were held in Brussels, Bucharest, Prague and Warsaw.

Project Lifesaver bracelets help track down missing persons
The 24-hour search for a missing teenager is prompting rescuers to get the word out about one of the newest ways for parents to track their children.
There's a bracelet available through a group called Project Lifesaver International.
It helps police find missing children and the parents who have it say the $300 bracelets are priceless.
When Laurie and Brad Burnell saw this week's news about the search for a missing 19-year-old with autism, they knew just weeks ago, that could very well have been their son.
"It was just to the point where neither of us were sleeping and we were just really scared to death. We were scared to leave his side," said Laurie.
Their son, J.C., has been known to run away before.
A new device that looks like a bracelet has changed all that and taken that fear away for the Burnells.
"It's been a blessing just to have and it's given us such a peace of mind. It's changed our lives," said Laurie of the bracelet.
It's called a Project Lifesaver bracelet and, just like it's name, the bracelet could someday save J.C.'s life if he wanders off.
Each Project Lifesaver bracelet gives off its own radio frequency. Rescue crews carry around receivers to follow that radio frequency, until they pinpoint it and find exactly who they're looking for in their search.
"Most of the clients that we have aren't able to find their way home, so they get lost," said firefighter Bill Webb, who runs Project Lifesaver for the fire departments in Hendricks County.
The departments in Hendricks County have more than 30 clients with bracelets. Some are children with special needs, others are adults.
In Hendricks County, the bracelets are free.
"Our program runs completely off of donations," explained Webb.
That's not the case, however, in most of Marion County, with just over 100 clients with the same bracelets. Clients pay for their own bracelets, but there is help with the $300 cost from the Indiana Autism Society.
Caregivers are also expected to change the batteries once a month, rather than getting a visit from a firefighter who used to do it. Indianapolis fire officials said the changes have cut expenses and allowed more people to have the bracelets.
J.C. Burnell's family said they're glad he's got one now.

"With this, I don't think I'd have any fear whatsoever right now," said Brad Burnell.

A Barnoldswick man completed the London Marathon in an impressive time just weeks after a four-month lay-off with an ankle problem.
Tom Stephens (22), of Gisburn Road, Barnoldswick, completed Sunday's London Marathon in 4hrs 29mins, just 10 weeks after returning from a torn ankle ligament which meant he only had time to train up to the 12-mile mark.
Tom, who works as a supervisor at Rolls-Royce Leisure Centre, ran his first ever distance run in a pink tutu and gloves, something which was decided upon by his friends.
But there was also a serious reason for tackling the 26.2 mile challenge, and that was to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society, of which £500 has been collected so far.
Tom, who also plays football for Rolls FC and Barlick Barons, was back in the town on Tuesday for an intense massage to soothe his aches and pains, partly due to suffering with plantar fasciitis, a chronic heel condition, which went undiagnosed for 12 years. Tom said: "I could only start training 10 weeks before and any time targets went out of the window and I got to the point where I just wanted to finish it.
"I didn't know it was going to be so hot. It was amazing though. You set off in the suburbs and it's quite quiet but after five or six miles it's three or four people deep all the way and they never stop cheering you on.
"I felt fine after 17 or 18 miles but I hit a wall at 22 miles. I wanted to finish it in under four-and-a-half hours if possible. The last three or so miles were my quickest of the whole race. It almost killed me.
"It's fantastic to raise money for such a great cause. The Alzheimer's Society fund carers as well as research. I lost my nan to it and it was horrible. So much of Alzheimer's goes undiagnosed.
"There's still some to collect. I set my target at £500 so I've smashed that already. I want to raise as much money as I can now."

Union Bay Natural Area

|University of Washington
The Union Bay Natural Area (UBNA) in Seattle, Washington, also known as Union Bay Marsh, is the restored remainder of the filled former Union Bay and Union Bay Marsh after University Village Shopping Center, the University of Washington (UW) athletic facilities, buildings, and main parking area (E1). It is located at the east end of the main UW campus, south of NE 45th Street and west of Laurelhurst.[1] Ravenna Creek is connected to University Slough (Drainage Canal), thence to Union Bay, and Lake Washington.[2][3] Drainage Canal is one of three or four areas of open water connected with Lake Washington around Union Bay Marsh. The canal extends from NE 45th Street, between the driving range and IMA Sports Field 1, south to the bay, ending southeast of the Husky Ballpark baseball grandstand (northeast of the IMA Building).[4][5] The Drainage Canal that carries Ravenna Creek past UBNA to Union Bay is locally sometimes called University Slough, though that is something of a misnomer in that "slough" is both used in the eastern and southeastern U.S. meaning, rather than the western U.S. meaning, and it is no longer a natural watercourse in that it is a canal that replaced bay and marsh, both now filled.
The little grasslands, modest ponds, and lake shoreline of the UBNA is a sanctuary for birds (most dramatically crested cormorants, great blue herons, and eagles);[6] turtles and frogs may be seen. The UBNA is notable for diverse habitats including a good-sized lake, small permanent ponds, seasonal ponds, woods, sample prairie, and marshland. The interfaces among these make the area particularly attractive for birdwatching, with more than 150 species of birds sighted.[7] The canal or slough was part of a restoration of the wetlands called Union Bay Marsh that had been drained by the opening of the Montlake Cut of the Lake Washington Ship Canal (1916) and much of Union Bay filled by the Montlake Dump,[8] (home of J. P. Patches, resident 1958-1981).[9] Formerly the Montlake Landfill,[8] University Dump,[10] or Ravenna Landfill,[citation needed] it was used by the City of Seattle for residential and industrial solid waste from 1911 to 1966.[11] It was fully closed five years later and overlaid with two feet of clean soil.[8][12] Most of the land has been built upon by University Village (1956), UW athletic fields, buildings, and main parking lot E; the remainder comprises the UBNA, colloquially called "the fill".[13]
Before the lowering of Lake Washington during the early part of the 20th century,[14] Ravenna and Yesler Creeks flowed into marshland north of where the canal now begins, and the land through which the canal would be cut lay under the waters of Union Bay.[citation needed] The Burke-Gilman Trail follows the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway line along the original shoreline of Union Bay past the UW power plant and University Village. Construction was completed in 2006 on a project that reconnects partially daylighted Ravenna Creek to Union Bay by piping it underground to the canal, thus converting the upper reach from a relatively stagnant drainage to the outlet for one of Seattle's partially restored urban creeks. Daylighting from southeast Ravenna Park to the UW and the UBNA has been blocked by the owners of University Village[15]
Unlike a commons in the UK and Ireland, the UBNA is owned by the State of Washington and held under the aegis of the University of Washington; access is controlled. Parts of the Area are open during park hours, access to other portions is discouraged, some portions seasonally, for habitat or species protection.[16]
Many restoration projects take place at UBNA. Removal of invasive species, such as Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and morning glory (Convolvulus arvensis), are part of a continual effort to restore the site to a natural area. Volunteers account for much of the progress in the Union Bay Natural Area.[17]

Malory Towers Books 1-3
by Enid Blyton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Oh to be young and so fortunate as to go to Boarding School! Good thing I didn't discover Enid Blyton until AFTER I was married....my desire to go to Boarding School would have known no bounds!
In many respects, this is a better series that Bylton's _St. Claire's_ books: both more developed in many details and in the likeability of the characters. Yet, on this reread, I see that actually the faculty is better fleshed out in the St. Claire's series.

Naw everything is allright. Some of these guns made over seas sit in whare houses for years before they are brought out. That does seem like a long time but I wouldn't worry about it. Walther stands behind their suff.
After months of research for a suitable self defense pistol, I finally purchased a Walther P99 QA 9mm. I got it for $500.00, out the door, from a local gun shop.
I took to the range and so far it has turned out to be everything that I expected. While looking as I the paperwork I notice that it was tested 4/23/2004.
Is it normal for a firearm to take so long to get from the factory to the end user? Can this extended storage cause the spring or any other part of the gun to loose tension and perphap not work up to spec?
Sorry for the long post but I just need to put my mind at ease. I hope that the price doesn't turn out to good to be true. Thanks.
Naw everything is allright. Some of these guns made over seas sit in whare houses for years before they are brought out. That does seem like a long time but I wouldn't worry about it. Walther stands behind their suff.
No big deal. Distributors and dealers have back stock all the time. On another forum, I saw a guy mention that he found an older model Beretta 92 forsale at a new Cabellas brand new! That thing had been sitting someplace all these years.
I have 3 A/S models. I wanna buy a QA soon just to try it - I have been wanting a green P99 for a long time now. Looks like only way I'll get my hands on a new one is by buying a QA anyway...
This is my Walther P99 QA
There are many like but this one is mine........
Looks Like a winner to me. Enjoy your new pistol and don't about it. Oil her up good, and go and have some fun.
Nice - U have the 2004 frame style (2005+ has longer mag release) - I like that frame style
Enjoy the gun. I plan to get a QA soon too.
Right now, its gotten to the point where I pretty much only go shoot the Walther now.
Thanks! I'm really happy with it. I plan to put some serious range time over the next few weeks.
Speaking of 2004 frame. Can anyone suggest a good Laser/Light combo?
Many Thanks!
Well, while the rails are standard size, the small indention where lights lock into place is slightly different. So, U must buy one specifically set up for the P99/SW99 - the ones that fit the Glock will not work.
The Insight M5 (almost like the M3 light) will fit - it has no laser
And, the Blast2 will work - it has a laser - but, it is like $300 - and, I think it is too big of a setup personally - I don't really like the way it looks...
Now, I really like this laser (has no light), but I think it is only made for the old style frames (pre 2004) - but, they may make an updated version - I thought I saw it someplace before (the newer version) - but, it's about $300...
That last on matches the gun pretty good. Has anyone heard of "beamshot." The make a wide variety of laser and tactical lights. Among them this interesting looking green laser.
I think I have heard of them before.
I like that last laser I posted a pic of too - it does look sweet on the gun (she had them on the P99s in Underworld). But, they cost too much for me...

How do I remove a picture stuck to the glass on an old frame?
By Mitzy from Kenner, LA
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
Do not use something abrasive like steel wool or an SOS pad, this can scratch some glass
Buy a flat razor. Spray some water or Windex on the surface and scrape off the sticky residue with the flat razor
If you want to save the photograph, the best thing to do is go to a photo lab and see if it can be done safely.
Simply put it in plain warm water and gently use a finger to rub and massage it and it will release itself with no damage. Don't force it. Shake it off and blot dry with clean cloth, no lint type. Lay between two pieces of wax paper and weight it down so it dries flat.

I have a very old picture that is stuck to this picture frame. I can not make a copy of it and can't risk getting the picture ruined. The picture is too long to fit in the freezer and the blow drier technique doesn't work. What can we do?
By Shannon O.
If you can't scan it at least take a picture or several pictures of it before you try anything. A copy shop like Kinkos or Staples might be able to scan it in larger equipment.
Call a place with a walk-in freezer and talk to them.
I took a pic that was stuck to glass to Walgreens. The tech took the frame apart but left the photo adhered to the glass and scanned that. It came out beautifully and there was no risk. I believe if you try to separate them you will ruin the picture. The pic was my daughter and her deceased Grandmother taken when my daughter was a young girl, so it was really important to her. I would try an experienced tech at Walgreens. He did a great job for me.
This really aids in stopping silver from tarnishing , ,my mother wrapped her silver tea service with plastic wrap I do it with jewelry etc. ... The oxygen can't gat at it as easily to tarnish.
I wrapped my silver pieces with plastic wrap and had lines and marks on the silver that would not polish out. I would put acid-free tissue paper around the items first, then use the plastic wrap. Keep the plastic off the metal. I have used Silvercloth with better results. You can buy it by the yard to wrap whatever you need.
Have you tried putting plastic after glass.
I have some old photos in frames and the pictures are stuck to the glass. Is there any way to safely remove the glass without damaging the photo? Please help!
If you try to pull the picture off, it will be ruined. I had the same problem with a 5x7 picture. I removed the glass with the pic still attached, and had it scanned into my computer at home, then printed out copies from that, and placed the "stuck" original back where it came from. If you don't have a scanner, take it to Walmart, or anywhere there is a public photo center. (04/26/2009)
Take your trusty hair dryer to the front of the glass, I found it was slick in removing them from old photo books too! (05/23/2009)
I have an old photo in a picture frame. The picture got stuck to the glass surface and I would like to get it out. Any suggestions?
Try using warm water with Ivory or liquid Joy, soak for at least 1-2 hours and gently separate the photo from the glass. If possible use a flat bed scanner and make a copy of the original. Before putting a photo behind glass make sure it has a protective coating such as protective spay from the hobby or photo shop (07/20/2005)
By Dick M.
If it is irreplaceable take it to a professional photo place. I believe water would damage the photo. I found that my photos stuck because I didn't dry the glass well enough after I cleaned it. (07/21/2005)
By Fran Marie
Try using a product called "Undo". It's used in scrapbooking to remove/reposition stickers. It's photo safe. Just let the photo dry completely after removing. When used on stickers, you can re-use the sticker after it dries. The product comes with a "lifter" to help lift the photo as you apply the product. (07/22/2005)

Mortgage rates continue to float along at or near yearly lows, according to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac.
For two months now, rates have shown little movement, ticking up or down a basis point or two but never wandering far. The 30-year fixed-rate average sank to its lowest level of the year this week, falling to 4.1 percent with an average 0.5 point. It was 4.12 percent a week ago and 4.58 percent a year ago. Since late June, the 30-year fixed rate hasn't drifted above 4.14 percent or below 4.1 percent.
The 15-year fixed-rate average declined to 3.23 percent with an average 0.6 point. It was 3.24 percent a week ago and 3.6 percent a year ago.
Hybrid adjustable rate mortgages were mixed. The five-year ARM average dropped to 2.95 percent with an average 0.5 point. It was 2.97 percent a week ago and 3.21 percent a year ago.
The one-year ARM average edged up to 2.38 percent with an average 0.5 point. It was 2.36 percent a week ago.
"Mortgage rates were down slightly this week, following the decline in 10-year Treasury yields," Frank E. Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, said in a statement. "Meanwhile, housing starts in July jumped 15.7 percent to 1.093 million units after falling 4.0 percent a month earlier. Also, July's consumer prices increased at a 0.1 percent seasonally adjusted pace, the slowest in five months."
With rates seemingly stubbornly settled in, mortgage applications have remained flat, according to the latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The market composite index, a measure of total loan application volume, bumped up 1.4 percent. The refinance index rose 3 percent, while the purchase index inched down 0.4 percent.
"Interest rates dropped last week as a result of the ongoing turmoil in Ukraine and other international concerns," Mike Fratantoni, MBA's chief economist, said in a statement.
"Overall application volume for conventional mortgages increased. However, there was a 5.9 percent decline in the number of applications for government mortgages, with both purchase and refinance applications declining. Within the government sector, this decline was led by an 8 percent decline in unadjusted Department of Veterans Affairs applications, while Federal Housing Administration and Rural Housing Service unadjusted applications also fell by 5 percent and 3 percent respectively."
The refinance share of mortgage activity accounted for 55 percent of all applications.

mystery person paying off other peoples layaways for christmas??
Posted in the Lake Villa Forum
#1 Dec 29, 2011
I heard that someone went into antioch walmart and payed off lay aways for people they dont know for christmas, I also heard that they did this at a Kmart too. I understand the nice gesture, but what really bugs me, is that it seems like they did this to grab some headlines. If you really want to be that generous and giving, then why not put money in the salvation army kettle, or drop it in the collection plate at church? There are plenty of ways to give to those in need without pulling a stunt that is guarenteed to grab you some headlines. The most generous people in the work give anonymously and QUIETLY !!! Why would you pay off layaways rather than give it to kids who really wont have a christmas at all ??? Obviously parents who started layaways have intentions of paying it off, you have to pay on it weekly or every other week, if these layaways where still valid the week of christmas obviously they were being paid. Some parents have a sense of pride knowing they were able to make that final payment, but when you pull a publicity stunt that like, you risk embarassing the parent and hurting their pride alittle. Im suspicious that this may be a certain person who recently won a huge prize in lake county, made the headlines and needs another fix. This is obviously someone who is unfamiliar with charity, giving anonymously and what that means if the charity really comes from your heart. So many people give and they want no credit, no headlines, no 15 minutes of fame or attention whatsoever. So whoever pulled this publicity stunt, shame on you, you may have had good intentions but you went about it the wrong way. Next time give to orphans who have nothing in the first place and please do it quietly if your real intention is just to give !
United States
#2 Dec 29, 2011
Thank you to everyone who gave this holiday season, no matter how, no matter what and no matter to whom. Charity is charity no matter who it is given to. Thank you mystery givers!

OK, just realized this person (seriouslypeople) has TWO posts about this "secret Santa". This had to really get her goat!! Who in their right mind objects to a secret Santa?
United States
#5 Jan 1, 2012
OMG, you have got to be kidding! Seriously, if you have a problem with this you need to look at yourself in the mirror and figure out why. Who are you to judge someone else? Or their motives? At Christmas? Over their charity? How dare you!
#6 Feb 17, 2012
> why not put money in the salvation army kettle
...or just pay extra income tax in April?
Because he wanted to make real people, local people, happy on Christmas, not just bankroll a welfare program.
> or drop it in the collection plate at church?
This guy was a REAL christian. He gave big money away for no other reason than to make other people happystrangers he doesn't even know.
That kind of person doesn't usually go to church.(Except maybe the Unitarian Church).
The very last thing Christ wanted is for people to worship HIM, personally. He DID want us to help the poor and the sick, and be kind, and care about other people's feelings.
That's what this layaway guy did.
I'll bet YOU go to an angry fundamentalist church every week, huh! "Praise his name! Praise his book!"
God doesn't care what you think of his name or his book or the name of his book. He cares about
> There are ways to give without pulling a stunt that is guarenteed to grab you some headlines.
So... you think this guy gave away free money without letting anyone know who he is, not to help the people he gave it too, but to get his name in the paper?
You're projecting your own motivations for doing things.
> The most generous people in the world give anonymously and QUIETLY
That's exactly what he did.
...Look, if you're mentally retarded, I apologize for making fun of you.
> Why would you pay off layaways?
Because people that put stuff on layaway for christmas:
☺ don't have the money to just pay cash. That is, they're poor. We also observe that they shop at Wal-Mart instead of putting stuff on layaway at Lord and Taylor.
☺ work hard even though they're poor. Unemployed drunks don't put things on layaway.
☺ care a LOT about making their wife and kids really happy. That is, they're poor, but not the wife-beating, family-neglecting bad people.
> if these layaways were still valid the week of christmas, then obviously they were being paid.
And if they haven't been paid off immediately before christmas, there's a good chance that the poor, struggling father couldn't quite stretch his money far enough to finish paying in time. In that case, he was probably wringing his hands, praying for a christmas miracle. And not for himself either.
In fact, if you want to find people who deserve magic gift money to fall from the sky, I can't think of a better ad-hoc metric than to find the ones who put stuff on christmas layaway at wal-mart and couldn't quite pay for it.
> give it to kids who won't have a christmas at all
You mean Jewish kids?
Their parents can already afford to buy them stuff. I don't know many of em, but the Jews I've met get paid real well because they're smarter than normal people and work really hard. That that makes them the only rich people who actually deserve to be rich.
> you risk embarrassing the parent
Who gets embarrassed when someone shows them kindness and love? Only humble people, who are EXACTLY THE ones who deserve even more kindness and love.
> hurting their pride a little.
Pride deserves to be hurt. And more than a little.
You think this is about pride?
That shows the kind of person you are. Neither the poor struggling fathers nor the guy who paid off their layaways are prideful.
YOU, on the other hand, ARE. You're a prideful, angry, covetous, jealous, petty, greedy, grabby, evil, typical, republican.
> I'm suspicious that this may be a certain person
...add "suspicious" to the list.
> Many people give and they want no credit, no fame or attention.
You mean like the guy who paid the bills of poor people?
Add "stupid" to the list, too.
> shame on him
You know nothing of shame.
Because you're infected with what I call "the sickness".
I call it that because it doesn't have any other name.

wow someones nuerotic, did you have way too much caffiene today, or are you on something else??? calm down already, i think you need some serious help lady. anyone who knit picks and analizng THAT MUCH, needs to talk to someone desperately, maybe a shrink. Geez just give an opinion and move on, no reason for such a long drawn out over the top rant, it gave me a headache !!!!!!!!!

#8 Apr 19, 2012
yay to the walmart layaway payers, can't wait to see more giving by these generous people next year!
#9 Apr 21, 2012
Chill out people, everyone has a right to an opinion. You try to come off as the typical goody two shoes when you know you think the same thing. No one has the guts to state the obvious , its way too easy to jump on the bandwagon rather than say what you really feel. The person who did this wanted the attention as well as to help people, but you have to agree there are way better ways to give than to use that method its kind of bizarre if u ask me. if your heart is in the right place you give quietly and discreetly and exspect no glory or praise or press for it. The person who started the discussion was only stating the obvious. so if u cant give a real honest opinion instead of mirroring everyone elses, then you dont belong on here this is for honest people who arent afriad to speak the truth
United States
#10 Apr 21, 2012
Not when their opinion is completely ridiculous. Then they really should keep it to themselves. Especially when people refuse to listen to common sense. It usually means they have an ulterior motive, in other words, I'm guessing you know the giver and are just jealous.
#11 Nov 13, 2012
Just mad cuz they did not get a part of it... If ur such a fan of charities and such THEN U DO IT!! it made headlines because we do not see much of giving anymore.. All he/she did was give a helping hand around the holidays.
United States
#12 Nov 15, 2012
give to your churches,food pantrys and homeless shelters, that is the true meaning of needy in this economy.... isnt that all the poster is trying to say? so whats with all the people freaking out its a simple concept you give to those truely in need ... is that really such a horrible outrageous idea?? i dont get it?? why would you all freak out over someone simply stating that there are more needier causes that are so obvious compared to walmart shoppers? really? think about that im totally understanding where this poster is coming from... so dont get your panties in a bunch over a simple statement about an obvious answer ... helping the homeless and the starving family vs walmart shoppers??
#13 Nov 16, 2012
Yes, give to those in need, and give any way you want! That includes being a Secret Santa at Walmart! That is the TRUE meaning of the Holidays. Give to whoever you want, just give. Don't forget the other important message of "thou shalt not judge"
either! See you at the Lay a Way Counter!
#14 Nov 19, 2012
Since when is it anyone's business how someone chooses to give? It certainly is none of yours (or the 1st poster who appears to be you).
#15 Nov 23, 2012
So much for freedom of speech. I think some people just like to sound moral rather than admit the poster is right in asking that orphans,homeless and our churches recieve priority. Im wondering how any of you can and still do argue with that. Your not going to convince me that giving to orphaned children or the homeless means less than the layaway department at any store be it walmart or kmart or sears. If you dont understand the simple meaning of what the poster is trying to get across then dont embarass yourself with ignorant answers. Thats all.
#16 Nov 23, 2012
No, what is embarrassing is someone who thinks they have the right to judge anyone else, or to question their giving spirit. How sad for you that you are so ignorant as to not understand that. That's all.
#17 Nov 23, 2012
What have you done to help others? Its easy to complain about what other people do, but what have you done?????

You must be a saint! That must be what gives you the moral high-ground to preach to the rest of us about what we should do! Before you bother to say "I can't talk about all the wonderful things I have done because it wasn't for publicity", let me guess that all you have done is sit around judging everyone else! If you want to be the Grinch keep your misery to yourself! Its the holiday season and the rest of us want to enjoy the good deeds of others! I can just imagine that you are one of those miserable complainers who people hate to be around!

After reading all the posts it appears there is just one person from Milwaukee all up in arms about a secret santa at walmart.
My guess is she's a little jealous.....:)

Whatever prods you to give, just do it. The Lord works in mysterious ways! If you feel the need to give to someone in an unconventional way, there probably is a reason! Just give.

Lighting Circuit
Hey everyone,
Your post indicates 2 things,
1. You are not an electrician.
2 You are not qualified to charge people money for this.
You don't know enough to even use the correct terminology.
Tell the client, you're sorry, but that you cannot do this job because you do no have the required skill set. And rather then cause his house to burn down or someone get electrocuted, he should hire someone qualified to work on the electric.
Don't be too tough on the poster. Based on the terms he uses, he is not in the US or Canada. Although I agree it does not sound like he has electrical experience. Sounds like what he is calling 2 way, we would call 3 way (although frankly 2 way is a better description).
I think what you want is the two light(new and existing) to be operated at the same time by two switches.
You can't do it the way you have the cables currently run. You need to feed both fixtures from the same switch. So you have two choices. Run the cable for your new fixture to the existing fixture. Or if the power comes into the first switch you can run the cable for the new fixture to the existing switch. The three core cable is fine between the switches.
