it's a lovely house.
Funny thing about foreclosure houses, the owners can kinda see it coming (what with not paying the bills and all)so they do crazy things like eat dinner directly off the carpet. Electric blue carpet. it's hot in an '80's kinda way.
After 5 hours on the cell phone over the last week, i have come to the realization that Com-effing-castic was the way to go. Verizon has made me do crazy things like throw a wet diaper at my son and stick my entire head in a sink full of cold water in order to keep myself from throwing myself off that lovely deck I have now. Clever folks over there at Verizon, they realize that 5 hours of overage charges on your cell phone to try to get residential service is brilliant. If they can also make you go into the crawl space to check your phone line, less work for them.
on the child front, The Boy has killed the new vacuum, new carpet cleaner, the phone (which i guess doesn't matter if i don't have a functioning phone line anyway), spilled a 44 oz. bag of coffee beans on the kitchen floor, lost the other phone, taken all my credit cards and hidden them and sat on the baby's head. And that was just today.
i'll be auctioning him off on E-bay later. Or just hanging a sign around his neck that says 'free to a good home' and plop him in front of the house.
Just a little note to my neighbors: there is no two-sided glass in front of our house. When you stop your car in front and blatantly stare at us, WE CAN SEE YOU. If you are going to stare, you should at least throw us some food. Sometimes it's okay to feed the bears.
other than having no key to the door, no internet access, no phone, nearly non-existent cell service, black gunk coming out of the jets in the bathtub and no hot water
it's a lovely house.

Despite cracking the screen of my brand new laptop, spending 3 hours in the ER getting The Boy 4 stitches and Derek drinking Lemon-Lime vinegar in the midst of trying to pack an entire house…
I'd have to say it was a pretty uneventful weekend. How was yours?Share on Facebook

Please send sugar packets
It will be refreshing for all of you to hear that my whining is getting on my last nerve too. I'm officially on sabbatical from whining and complaining.
Septic tank has to be dug up and the bank won't even let us do it before closing to make sure that someone else's crap isn't backing up on us the first time we flush? Who cares? Multiple hornet's nests in the attic when husband was at the home inspection? It's not like he got stung and died. Ancient heat pumps that don't function? It's summer, for heaven's sake. The lawn was mowed with a weed eater? Jagged grass is the new fresh cut lawn. Old rusty treadmill still on the back porch? We're all up to date on our tetanus shots. Closing pushed back to 5 p.m. so now we won't be in the house before 7 and have to get everything ready for all the work already scheduled for 7 a.m. Friday morning? I LOVE all-nighters.
Lourdes came yesterday and packed up the kitchen for me. I left some things to the side and told her that Derek would show up at her house if the coffee maker got packed by accident. It seems that I forgot to put the sugar aside. And with Lourdes around, we are lucky she didn't pull up the vinyl and pack it. Talk about "everything goes." So this morning it was coffee sans sugar. It's probably better for me, right?
Let's dwell on the positives. My mom is coming on Thursday to save the day. I am painting my laundry room "midnight blue" since I didn't buy the midnight blue washer/dryer set. I have a brand new carpet cleaner that costs less than it would for a professional to clean one room (and I get to keep it) and despite the fact that my new house is leaking like a sieve, it's going to be MY leaking sieve in just one week. So after I dry my tears from my temporary nervous breakdown, I'm off to pack another box. 'Cause that's how you do it.
One box at a time…Share on Facebook

If you were hoping for a little levity, go elsewhere today
This morning was the home inspection at Baby Boom. Luckily for me, it's not difficult to wake up at 5:30 a.m. when you have been up since, I don't know, around 2:30 a.m. We were all up and running in no time.
To a locked house. That's right. After our 45 minute drive, we (along with our real estate agent and the home inspector) discovered that the lock box has time constraints. So despite the seller's agent knowing we were coming at 8 a.m., the house was locked up tighter than a bug in a rug. Right before the home inspector left to inspect homes that were OPEN, he did a termite inspection. Which resulted in termites. No problem. We'll just put that stuff in the ground to get rid of them. No, wait. Your well has to be 50 feet from the house to use that stuff. The well is 48 feet from the house. Yeah, that non-chemical remedy is going to cost you twice as much. But boy will we be green.
We finally got into the house in time for the well and septic inspection. Oops, there is a problem with your septic and your drain field needs to be dug up. Who said there is no such thing as karma?
I'm just gonna go now and lie down in traffic. With a little luck, maybe a Mack truck will run me over. If it doesn't, I have a home inspection on Wednesday to anticipate.
But on a lighter note, my husband did buy me this pretty little number for Mother's Day.

Who knew there were so many utilities to order
First off, to The Boy, who decided today to rip off his diaper in a motion that could have been confused as a Chippendale's move (not that I would know personally, of course), I could have done without the CRAP ON THE FLOOR. Sure the timeout/spanking/screaming may have been excessive punishment but did you really think that ripping off a poop-filled diaper and flinging it at your brother in his swing was going to get any less a reaction from me? Really? 'Cause as the nuggets flew through the air and onto the carpet (the only carpet in the WHOLE DAMN HOUSE), you appeared to be unsurprised by my Postal-like reaction.
Back to the house BS. Because, Internet, that's what it is. I just occasionally pay the bills online when I remember to do it. I don't think about the utilities. I treat them like one treats hot dogs. You have a vague idea where it comes from but it's probably a better policy to just pay the bill and call it a day.
Despite reading Mir's 9 million posts on why she hates Comcast, I tried to order Comcast online. Which is hilarious because after you order online, you still have to call. And your call gets routed to Ottawa. And then to Ottawa. And then Ottawa is affronted because you don't already have Comcast service even though the county you live in now is currently IN BED WITH ANOTHER CABLE COMPANY WHICH IS NOT COMCAST. And then your call gets dropped. And then you call back and Ottawa tells you to call the office right up the street from you. And then the office says you aren't entitled to any discount unless you order 45 services.
And then you go online to order Verizon instead (that will show them). But you can get the bundle discount until 5 days before you move (and you can't call until 5 days before you move) and then they can't guarantee service within 5 days.
And this is all right after you tried to order water service. Which would be right after you scheduled the inspection of THE WELL. I swear to God and on my grandmother's grave that if I AM PREGNANT (clearly the only explanation for such behavior), I WILL KILL MYSELF.Share on Facebook

Funeral plans set for Thomas Robinson's mother
Yes, SNR Denton is a large "international" law firm. The attorney, Christopher "Kit" Smith that will oversee the fund created for Jayla is a KU alum and has an impressive resume. I'm sure that there are numerous legal issues in D.C. that Thomas Robinson will have to deal with and hopefully Mr. Smith has volunteered his services as part of the Jayhawk Nation.

Bill Self clears Kansas senior Mario Little for competition
Smitty is working way too hard to find a conspiracy theory. In the community I work in, a diversion agreement is nothing more than a matter of paperwork between the prosecutor's office and the defendant and their attorney. It does not require a court appearance. Once all parties have signed the agreement, it is filed with the court and any previously scheduled court dates are removed from the court calendar. There are no notices to the press. If someone is checking the court filings daily, they would see that something had been filed, but it is a routine court matter. This is not the KU athletic department influencing the court system.

Ex-employee links KU tickets to AD gift
One thing I am sure of is that we haven't seen or heard the last of this. I work in an office full of K-State fans and they are loving every minute of the news coming out of the KU Athletic Office. It is impossible to defend Perkins at this point. He makes more money than I will ever see in a lifetime. He can rent or buy whatever exercise or rehab equipment he needs. He can use the equipment available at the KU athletic department although I am sure he would never lower himself to use the same equipment as the athletes. Bottom line is, he should never have put himself and the university in this position. Perkins has created enemies and they are coming out to jump on a sinking ship. Question is, how much damage has Perkins done behind closed doors and when will the NCAA get involved?
June 1, 2010 at 2:53 p.m. ( permalink | suggest removal )
How the scam happened and what KU is doing about it
What is ridiculous about Perkins' claim is that there have been rumblings by season ticket holders for quite some time about why are there always different people in some of the best seats in the house, why are there so many of the good seats available for high dollars on ticket broker sites and why can't season ticket holders get the good seats? Those questions have been asked all through the fieldhouse and not very nicely. The only way that Perkins didn't know that something was wrong is that he is so arrogant that he refuses to listen to anyone. It is time for Mr. Perkins to move on. His services should no longer be needed at the University of Kansas.

Electric power restored to Westar customers
I find it hilarious that officials at KU said that they weren't affected by the power outage. I guarantee you that I took my final in the dark this morning. Apparently university officials didn't want to deal with the possibility of students not showing up if they learned that the power wasn't on so they chose not to tell the truth.

Power is out at part of the University too. Try taking a final in the dark. This should really help my grade point average!

Former K-State QB, brother of KU's Kerry Meier, dies in hiking accident
I will be keeping the Meier family in my prayers. This is such a tragic loss. The Meier family has given so much to the State of Kansas. At this time, Jayhawk Nation needs to make sure our voice is also heard in expressing sympathy, love and support for Kerry and the entire Meier family. May they be surrounded by God's love.

The folks in purple are celebrating today and they should be. True Hawk fans are taking notice of what is happening down the road but we know that our guys can handle it. Big 12 Basketball is great. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

So many 18-34 year olds fundamentally do not understand that the reported stories they share on Twitter and the commentary they post to Facebook costs real dollars to produce, expenses they aren't always contributing to.
The onus is clear: Emerson must spend significantly more resources on cultural competency training for students, professors, and staff alike.
Hillary Clinton demonstrates that we have progress to make, even within the world of feminism.
Beyond its insensitivity, the biggest artistic failure of "Resident Advisors"—filmed at Emerson Los Angeles—is being unfunny.
As a school that prides itself on progressive thinking and innovation, we should continue to make larger efforts to improve our recycling program as a whole.
With graduation looming, there's always the fear that we'll miss something, that one day we'll wish we could go back or do things differently.
The task of censorship has become almost as impossible as our attempts at regulating the internet, as movies, TV, and social media have all become intertwined.
Except for self-promotion, it's hard to see what the college gains by giving out these quasi-fake degrees—degrees that would cost normal students real money.
The fact that it's taken approximately four years for Apple to create these diverse emojis reveals a lot about cultural visibility—namely, who does and doesn't belong in which technological spaces.
It's abundantly clear that Ivy League institutions suffer from the same problems as the rest of the nation's colleges.
But the ECCash system's antiquated requirements and arbitrary division from Board Bucks mean students likely won't be whipping out their Emerson IDs anytime soon.
This is more than cyberbullying. These are specific threats launched at women for sharing their opinions, a gendered form of harassment that after-school specials don't address.
Identities are not mutually exclusive and they all tell different stories that might make us feel that sometimes, there is no space where we can "check" all of our "boxes."
Due to our country's long history of systematic oppression and a culture of sexism, I think it's time we talked about changing how men act.
Third places are important: they give people a chance to step outside of the obligations of home and career. Now Emerson students have one fewer option for a third place in an already limited roster.

As China's Mega Dam Rises, So Do Strains and Fear
BADONG, China—The slopes of Chenjialing Village have shuddered and groaned lately, cracking and warping homes and fields, and making residents fear the banks of China's swelling Three Gorges Dam may hold deadly perils.
The vast hydro scheme is meant to subdue the Yangtze River, but as the water levels rise, parts of its shores have strained and cracked, dismaying scientists and officials and alarming villages such as Chenjialing in Badong County.
Xiang Chuncai, who has lived much of her 84 years on this hillside of orange groves above the Yangtze, recalled waking in fright last year to rattling windows and rumbling noises from the earth. The tremors returned several times in past months, residents of this village in Hubei province said.
"It's all been splitting since the Three Gorges Dam was filled," Xiang said, poking a wide crack snaking up a wall in her earth-brick home. "We don't have the money to move … I'm scared what will happen if we stay," Xiang added.
Along the 660-km (410-mile) reservoir, residents pointed to erosion, slides and deformed terrain they said have seriously worsened since last year, when the water level was raised a second time.
While authorities have vowed to contain geological aftershocks from the dam, poor farmers worry about being swallowed up by landslides. The resulting tensions threaten to rekindle the bitter clashes that long dogged the project.
"Sometimes the ground rumbles and shakes, dogs bark, babies cry. It frightens us too," said Xiang's neighbour, Su Gongxiang, showing his front door that will no longer shut.
Three Gorges Dam
China's Three Gorges Dam lies across the country's longest river, the Yangtze, and will be the world's largest flood control and hydropower station when completed.
Here are some facts about the dam, which scientists have warned is experiencing damaging environmental problems and straining the surrounding land.
— The more than a mile-long dam lies on what is regarded as one of the most scenic stretches of the Yangtze River, near Sandouping, in the central province of Hubei.
— The dam is a third of the way along the river, which winds 6,300 kilometres (3,910 miles) from glacial Tibetan marshlands to the Yellow Sea near Shanghai.
— In 1919, Sun Yat-sen, considered the "father" of modern China, proposed a dam near the Three Gorges. In the 1950s and '60s, the Communist revolutionary leader Mao Zedong encouraged planning for a dam but then abandoned the idea.
— Construction of the dam began in Dec. 1994, and officials say it will cost $25 billion.
— Two cities, 11 counties, 116 towns, and hundreds of cultural sites in Hubei province and neighbouring Chongqing municipality have been flooded to create its reservoir. About 1.4 million people have been displaced.
— State media has said the project could be completed by the end of 2008.
— The dam is a concrete cavity type, 185 metres high and with a storage capacity of some 39 billion cubic metres of water.
— Flood control, cheap electricity, improved shipping navigation and tourism have all been cited as benefits.
— At full capacity, the dam should be capable of generating 18,200 megawatts of electricity from 26 power turbines.
— Ocean-going freighters will be able to sail more safely along the deepened, widened, waterway between the dam and Chongqing, and on to Shanghai, dam builder the China Three Gorges Project Corporation (CTGPC) says.
— The dam will also tame periodic devastating floods, reducing the Yangtze's major flood threat from once every ten years to once every 100 years, dam officials say.
— Environmentalists have long criticised the project, saying that the dam traps silt, causes erosion and has drowned precious natural and cultural treasures. Critics say that the dam's reservoir risks turning into a pool of sewage and industrial chemicals backing onto the mega-city of Chongqing.
— Many of the people moved to make way for the dam are poor farmers, and in past years there were protests and petitions claiming that the they were victims of inadequate compensation and widespread embezzlement.

Mastering Nature
These days, China stands almost alone among nations in wielding the wealth and will to conjure up vast engineering efforts to alter the flow of rivers and lives of millions.
The Three Gorges Dam is the world's biggest, an engineering feat that seeks to tame the world's third longest river while displacing 1.4 million people.
The 6,300-km (3,910-mile) Yangtze, which rises on the Tibetan plateau, flows through the towering Three Gorges to irrigate, and often flood, much of the country's central and eastern plains.
From 1919 a succession of leaders argued that a dam would end devastating floods and generate power. That dream eluded the revolutionary founder Mao Zedong, whose plans for a dam foundered in political turmoil and poverty.
But in the 1980s, a new generation of Communist Party leaders championed the plan as a trophy of growing economic power.
They faced down opposition from environmental critics and sceptical scientists who in 1992 persuaded an unprecedented third of the usually docile Party-controlled parliament either to oppose the plan or abstain from voting.
Construction began in 1994.
Since the 2,309-metre-long dam was finished in 2003, the reservoir has been filled with water in stages. If all goes to plan, it will reach its maximum capacity of 39.3 billion cubic meters of water by the end of 2008, capping a year of national glory centred on the Beijing Olympics.
'Never Like This Before'
But in Chenjialing this engineering triumph has brought bewilderment and the resigned anger that comes easily to people with little say over their own lives.
Its 1,400 villagers live above what was once a rivulet that could be waded across. These days it is a deep inlet that can moor big coal boats plying the Yangtze.
Everywhere among the fruit groves and potato fields is evidence of a bruised and unsettled landscape.
A hulking old tree has begun to tilt riverward, a nearby earth terrace suddenly subsided, and many houses show cracks and warping, all since last year, villagers said.
"We worry about staying but can't move," said Su Zhonghen, washing clothes in an outdoor stone sink that now skews to one side. "Only families with flooded homes get compensation."
A nearby bank of the Yangtze collapsed last year, tossing several homes into the water, and the county government has put signs around Chenjialing warning of "geological hazards".
The coal mine at the foot of the village probably does not help, with its dynamite blasts regularly shaking the quiet air.
Residents said they had been visited by a handful of worried but lowly officials who said there was little else they could do.
Tan Lianyong, a wiry 45-year-old farmer who also works in the mine, said he worried that land slips could trap him in a tunnel.
"We're just peasants. We've got to earn money to survive. We can't choose how," he said, eyeing the vegetable patch in front of his home that suddenly sank in the middle.
Pulverised Houses
The dam region is granite-solid in parts but also spans brittle terrain. Scientists have long forecast greater instability as rising and falling dam waters punch at shorelines, block seepage, and squeeze weak spots.
"The dam area was always prone to landslides, and now the raising of water levels is adding to the pressure on the sides," said Lei Hengshun, an environment expert at Chongqing University.
The raised water loosened vulnerable layers of earth and rock, and drought and torrential rain could intensify risks of major land collapses, he said.
The pulverised slope of Qianjiangping Village in Zigui County, Hubei, suggest the dangers these shocks may bring.
In July 2003, after the dam began to fill, a landslide there killed 24 people and left 1,100 homeless, churning a whole hillside into a jumble of rock and earth and shattered homes.
State media said at the time the dam was not to blame, and torrential rain had at least played a part, experts said.
But villagers nearby said they feared that as waters rose again, landslide monitors would be unable to give enough warning.
"The first sign will be cracks in the older homes, like ours," said a former resident of Qianjiangping, Wang Aihua, visiting his parents there. "Keep your eyes open for anything like that," he sternly told them.
In the rainy summer of 2007, landslides across the dam area killed at least 13 people, according to local news reports and the dam environmental agency.
A report fronm the CCP-controlled Xinhua news agency last year cited over 1,900 geological hazards around the dam, including 362 urgently needing safety work. Thirteen had received it.
Scientists in state institutes have suggested that officials did too little to anticipate the dangers.
"The scale and intensity of these problems seems to have exceeded predictions", said Liu Changming, a hydro-engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences with long involvement in the dam.
Alarm at the top is growing too.
In April, Premier Wen Jiabao, a geologist, took leadership of the dam construction committee and later held a cabinet meeting to discuss the Three Gorges' environmental strains.
In September, a senior project official warned that land upheavals could spell "environmental calamity" — an abrupt switch from bright propaganda about the dam's benefits.
Since then, officials have softened their warnings and said the hazards are well under control, pointing to billions of yuan already spent to control risks.
Yet despite their assurances, the reality on the ground leaves little doubt that many thousands of farmers, if not more, must either move away or risk living on dangerous land.
'Just Listen and Wait'
Abrupt efforts to uproot endangered villagers, however, threaten to rekindle the bitter clashes between officials and dispossessed residents that marred the dam's construction.
In Kangle Township, villagers described an angry meeting with local officials after receiving notice in early November urging them to voluntarily move by the end of 2007 or risk landslides.
The compensation offered was not enough to build new homes, and moving high in the hills would put them too far from their fields and water sources, villagers said.
"If we don't move, we're scared of landslides, but if we want to move, we can't afford it," said farmer Jin Shihe.
On the other side of the valley, cracks have spread in homes but residents said they had not received any notice to move.
"At night if it's raining, you don't dare go to sleep," said Li Zhongchen, a grandmother in her sixties. "If a landslide comes, it will be without much sound or warning, so you can just try to listen and wait".

We've all said it. We've all said it a hundred times, "take that out of your mouth!" or "you'll swallow that and then you'll be sorry!"
I've said it a million times. From one end of the day to the next. As babies and toddlers, you watch as everything naturally heads mouth bound. My son always took it a bit further, but then that's him and that's why I love. He pushes the boundaries. He always pushes the boundaries.
As a child, he ate sand, spiders, snails, grass, slugs, cat litter and basically anything that came within his grasp. I gave up fighting and chasing him. I gave up taking the spiders out of his mouth. As soon as I turned my back he'd do it again. He soon learned they didn't taste nice and subsequently spat them out. I despaired as no matter what I did or said, it just did't sink in. Although I wished he would listen to me and save me all the drama, I understood that some children need to learn by making their own mistakes. That's the way some kids roll.
I knew he would have to learn the whole swallowing thing first hand too. And he did.
One Sunday, my children had come back their grandparents. They ran straight into the back garden and started playing on the swing. It was one of those Sundays, warm, quiet and going a bit too smoothly for my liking. I might have known it was going to change.
Within eight minutes, Bobby had ran back into the kitchen clasping his throat. I gasped.
"What did you do? What did you eat?" I shouted. My initial instinct was that he had eaten something poisonous.
Between staggered breaths he kept pointing to his throat and saying, "stuck, it's stuck, get it out!"
"Get what out?" I shouted as I started banging hard on his back to try to bring up whatever it was that was stuck there. I banged and banged but nothing was happening. He was breathing but very uncomfortably.
I don't panic in these situations, I just think about resolving it. Your mind switches to survival mode. I'm used to it.
I knew he could breath, I'd established that and whatever was in there was making him retch but not choke completely even though he needed to get to hospital. I could see that. It wasn't coming out.
"What is it? What did you swallow?" I shouted again.
"A pound coin!" he gasped, still clutching his throat.
"A pound coin? How did you manage that?" I shouted, in between trying to get my car keys and get out the door to the hospital. Your mind starts to spin as scenarios rattle around it. Is this the way they are going to die? Is this it? Is this the end? A pound coin?
Water will bring it up.
"You need to drink water, it's the only thing that's going to work. It's not coming up and it's not going down. You need water."
So I filled a large bottle and gave it to him along with a plastic bag and put him in the back seat. Foot down, I kept shouting to him to keep drinking. He was retching the whole way but nothing was coming up. He was drinking and retching, drinking and retching.
And although he was clearly in pain, clearly uncomfortable, I couldn't help but say it. I just couldn't help but say I told you so.
"You see all those times I told you not to swallow things, not to put things in your mouth, well this is why, this is exactly why," I said. Right there, right then, I got that self righteousness that parents get, when you've spent years preaching to an empty room. Preaching and threatening about the what if's and might be's. Preaching to an unresponsive audience. But then one day, something happens and all that preaching and teaching becomes justified. One day, something happens and they finally see that all that babbling and talking was for a reason. It's because, we, as parents know. We are trying to help you and lead you down the right path. We are trying to teach you life lessons. This was self righteousness at its best.
"You need to drink that whole bottle," I said again as we turned the corner, and drove into the multi story car park. I stopped very abruptly as we jumped forward in our seats. In the back I heard a large retch as a great fountain of vomit hit the plastic bag.
"You okay?" I asked turning around.
"Yes," he answered, I feel fine now. "I think the pound coin has come up."
"No," he answered.
"Good," I answered, "shall we go home then?"
"Yes, " he nodded.
So before I had actually got out of the car, I turned back around and started the engine. This drama is all too familiar to me, living with Bobby. But this particular drama seemed somewhat different. This drama was a milestone in our lessons on life.
I turned the car and drove home, as I babbled and preached until the car was filled with my self righteousness again. I was going to milk this one today. But in the back, I sensed I had a convert, I sensed someone was finally listening.

Glendale Republican Rep. Anthony Kern sees proposing HB 2293 and 2294, which would ban Medicaid holders and prison inmates from being covered for gender-reassignment surgeries, as a way to protect taxpayers. Kern is quoted saying he is "always in favor of personal freedoms … but never at the expense of the taxpayer" on an article by AZCentral.com. He believes that the state of California has set a "precedent" by being the first state to allow inmates to apply for state-covered reassignment surgeries.
Ashton Skinner, transgender-outreach coordinator for ONE Community called the bills "discriminatory and misguided."

text: Tales of Innocence will be coming to the DS in Japan late this year. I personally like the series, even though the last 2 games were a little bland. Also IMO it's one of the best RPG games known. If you guys ever played ToS on the Gamecube (tales of symphonia), they are also planning to make a sequel to that game. Which will be very awesome...I can't wait for it to come out in the U.S.

Diaspora is a literary work written as a consciousness toward the differences between old and new culture. The issues whose are able to be taken in Diaspora is the alienation problems, the homesick feeling, the past nostalgia, and also the adaptation process effecting toward crisis identity. This fact encourages the writer to conduct a research in relation with the topic of diasporic problems in cultural identity formation. This research is aimed to describe 1) the efforts of main characters in dealing with their identity crisis, 2) the factors that encourage and support main characters in forming their identity, and 3) the similarities and differences of identity formation toward two novels by using Bhabha's Hibridity theory. Data source of this research was taken from words, phrases, sentences, statements, dialogues and monologues which record the thought and actions of the characters in the novels of Sweetness in the Belly and Desirable Daughters. As result, this research finds out that the novels described clearly the efforts of main characters—Lilly and Tara—in forming their cultural identity as immigrants or diaspora. In the novel Sweetness in the Belly, it is started by Lilly's efforts in establishing her identity in Harare-Ethiopia and London, how the main character does acceptance and resistance to the culture where she lives, and how the influence of her friends are in finding her identity. While Tara, in Desirable Daughters, it is begun by her understanding on diversity in Advanced country. It is found the binary opposition between herself and her oldest sister in the same country as immigrants, then how her efforts and her sister's influences in forming her identity. Then, these novels show that there are similarities and differences in determining main characters' identity through their own experience life. Last, this research finds out that the forming of cultural identity deals with split/ ambivalence. This thing will cause hybridity that is the result of assimilation from two different cultures, East and West.

So it may not be New Years, but why not set a goal today? If you're only setting goals on January 1st then you are seriously missing out on a whole lot of goal ass-kicking throughout the year!
One of the biggest changes I ever made when kicking my butt into healthy gear was changing my mindset for goals. Before it was always a vague "I want to get skinny" or "I need to lose 10 pounds" without a timeline or action plan. These goals were useless because they were often too overwhelming, and when I didn't feel a sense of achievement immediately I gave up.
While long term goal setting is also important, short term goals are crucial to staying on track and feeling accomplished. Here are a few tips for short term goal setting:
• Set realistic goals – A goal of working out 7 times a week for someone who isn't working out at all is going to be overwhelming. When a goal seems unachievable, it is easy to give up completely. My goal this month of taking 20 yoga classes seems like a lot, but setting a goal of 5 classes a week is much more realistic. Take baby steps!
• Write your goals down – I cannot stress this enough! Writing down your goals makes them feel more real, and it is important to have a specific, written time-frame.
• Be patient and adjust – This is a working process. If you find that a weekly goal is impossible to reach, make it smaller the next. Similarly, if you reach a goal within the first week of your monthly deadline then beef it up the next month!
• Align short term goals with long term goals – Short term goals–whether they are daily, weekly, monthly, etc.–should contribute towards your long term goal. If your long term goal is to save up for a major purchase, your short term goal should be to put away money every week. Similarly, if your long term goal is to achieve a healthy lifestyle then create short term goals that contribute to forming healthy habits.
• Reward yourself! – One of the best ways to keep yourself on track is to reward yourself for reaching goals, no matter how small! Just make sure your rewards are in line with your goals {ice cream should not be a reward for eating healthy all week!}. When I started working out regularly, one of the best ways I rewarded myself was with cute new workout clothing. Feeling confident while working out motivated me to get my butt off the couch, and also made me want to keep getting my sweat on so I could reach my next goal!
So tell me, what are your short term goals? Do you have any tips or tricks for reaching your goals or keeping yourself motivate? Let me know!

'Your posture directly affects your health. Improved posture can lead to better well-being'
Posture is the position in which we hold our bodies while standing, sitting or lying down.
When your posture is bad it can increase pressure on your spine, this can lead to tension soreness, headaches, back pain and fatigue.
Postural imbalance also compresses your internal organs, reducing their efficiency and normal functions.
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of poor posture (2). It takes a lot of energy to hold the body in any awkward position, and, in turn, alters our breathing capacity which can be diminished by up to 30% (3)
Good posture is the correct alignment of body parts supported by the right amount of muscle tension against gravity (4)
A good postural position permits you to breathe better, and as a result reduces fatigue and minimises other side-effects associated with bad posture.
Proper posture keeps muscles, ligaments, bones and internal organs in their natural position. This reduces wear and tear of joints and relieves stress, improving health and enhancing your appearance.
Good posture can also increase self confidence with one study revealing that people adopting good posture not only display greater confidence but have stronger belief in their own abilities than those with poor posture (5)
Correcting bad posture does take discipline, but there is no doubt that the benefits are worth the effort.

Recipes for Health: Stir-Fries
Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times
We finally got our heat wave last week in Los Angeles, albeit for only a few days. I decided that rather than light the oven I would cook everything as quickly as I could on top of the stove. With the bounteous end of summer produce at my local farmers' markets, it was a perfect week for stir-frying.
When it comes to stir-frying, I have a guru, the cookbook author Grace Young. Her new cookbook, "Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge," is the ultimate guide, whether you're a beginner or a chef. I was so inspired by the book that I went out and bought a new 14-inch flat-bottomed carbon steel wok with a long wooden handle that doesn't get hot when I cook over a high flame.
In the past I've been somewhat resistant to making Asian dishes, mainly because I'm more accustomed to the slow pace of Mediterranean cooking. But as I reacquainted myself with stir-frying under Grace Young's tutelage, I realized that the leisurely part is preparing and arranging the ingredients. Ingredient lists may look long at first glance, which can make you think that the recipe is long or difficult. But few stir-fries take more than five minutes to cook from start to finish. The only real time is spent in the chopping and measuring. It pays to do this systematically; have everything measured out and in a small bowl, ramekin or other container, within arm's reach of your pan, and preferably arranged in the order in which you'll be adding it. I find that it's much easier to stir-fry if you read the recipe through several times — memorize the steps, in fact — because once those ingredients hit the hot wok, you don't want to have to stop to read.
Another important tip I learned is to make sure your ingredients, particularly the vegetables, are dry. Otherwise you will be braising instead of stir-frying. This means that when you wash vegetables, dry them on kitchen towels or paper towels. Blot tofu dry, and if you blanch a vegetable first, make sure to drain and dry on towels. It's a simple step that will make all the difference in the world.
With this week's recipes I won't be giving advance preparation notes. Know that you can prepare all of your ingredients well ahead of time, and refrigerate if necessary. But the stir-frying itself is not a do-ahead type of cooking; it only takes a few minutes, start to finish. The table should be set and the rice ready to serve. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to reheat any of these leftovers for a meal.

Talk:Tax increment financing
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Stop removing the graph. Calling it poorly worded is a low brow excuse for removing it.
Especially since you did not explain what is poorly worded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graphman2 (talk • contribs) 06:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
haven't seen the graph in question but I have seen the lazy editors that that increase their reputation by reverting huge amounts of text when at worst mild editing would have "made it clearer"/"better formatted"/"insert your own petty excuse for tearing up hours of work in three seconds"
I suggest you add the graph to the talk page (here for this article but talk page of whatever graph is about) to show the community the graph... that way you have community viewing it in a place the slash-hacks are not supposed to touch it... (after admiting it is a graph that only needs different legend/labels they cannot claim it is span, which is only thing that can be removed from a talk page by a different editor (you can remove your own though) --Qazwiz (talk) 05:37, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
This graph is NOT a representation of the theory of TIF, but it just one result and is clearly negatively biased. This would be appropriate in a section of the downside or negative impact of TIF. It is NOT appropriate as the main image and has no place in a general description or definition of TIF theory. Jjjameson333 (talk) 14:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
Wish to either expand or reconfigure entry over three or four months, anyone wish to collaborate?[edit]
This entry needs something more of something. Does anyone want to help me rewrite it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
I will help with this. I am very familiar with the subject matter (good & bad) and wish to fix this article. It has some truths but also many mistakes. email@example.com Jjjameson333 (talk) 14:23, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
If people have memory, download the NCBG research and upload the research to a website that can be maintained after July, 2007. Then place the NCBG links (external links) to that website for the duration.
Academic studies or articles[edit]
If there are any recent academic studies or articles, please place them in the external links.
- here is link showing that California has discontinued use of TIFs, and that a lawsuit to stop the stopage failed. http://ti.org/antiplanner/?p=6059 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:35, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- all edits since around sept of 2011 are poorly done and seem biased in favor of TIFS, ctiticism should be left to critics. California has now discontinued the use of TIFs which says something since that is where they started. The intro was once short and informative, now it just seems designed to discourage people from reading. If you have to discourage knowledge to promote a product it says something about the product. On the graph controversy, if you want a graph it should be down in the article further and WELL DESIGNED easily read etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:02, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- The chart is biased against TIF and is probably misnamed.Rbacigal18 (talk) 16:04, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- This text of this page reflects an exclusively positive view of TIFs. As an avid opponent of TIFs, I feel as though a contrary perspective is needed, but I also don't feel like I can do it fairly. -- Seth Ilys 05:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- As I read the page, I see no active positive message. There is no criticism written either -- if you explain why you disagree with TIFs here, I will edit the page to objectively reflect your remarks. --nelsonleese 18:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- "One manifestation of government-developer incest is the insidious Tax Increment Financing (TIF) zone. Instituted in 1977 and operating in 44 states, TIFs center around freezing the portion of property tax dollars that go into social services at current levels for some designated period of time, up to 30 years. The extra money earned from inflation and rising property values is channeled towards reinvestment in the neighborhood via city subsidies for developers. For an area to be designated a TIF by the mayor and city council, it must be officially considered 'blighted'. The idea is that after all this city-supported development, the area will no longer be a haven for blight.
- Neither will the area be a 'haven' for low-income people, who get their social services and then their homes taken away as rents and property taxes rise in response to the reinvestment. What's worse, the excess money can be moved between TIF zones that border each other, so low income residents in a newer TIF area may be paying to further develop an area already gentrified by an existing TIF. Because TIFs can last for so long, developers may continue to get subsidies long after the area resembles a Starbucks-laced American Dream." Slingshot Issue #074 article Title:"Gentrification" sub "Real estate, the root of evil" Paragraph 4
- Feel free to change the page to objectively take this point of view into consideration. 18.104.22.168 08:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- link updated --Qazwiz (talk) 07:14, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- I changed the name of a heading to bring attention to the fact that TIFs are under dispute -- I then included a summary of the opposing arguement with a link to gentrification. I don't know how to do the cite properly for the above listed web page.
- Ileft most of the article as it was, however. Whether one agrees with the long term result of TIF districts, they do put money into the system, and this page only points to TIFs as a tool to accomplish just that end.--nelsonleese 18:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- With User:Nelsonleese's edits, this article seems to have an NPOV balance. I have therefore removed the label. Verne Equinox 00:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- If you have an article or a report that questions the use of TIFs, just join in. this is Chriscarlos. I have added external links that are mixed, though most questioning the use of TIFs.
This article is much improved, as far as POV. I'd still like to see more examples of TIF mechanics (full lifecycle). --Overhere2000 03:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- To see an example of TIF mechanics (full lifecycle), expand the graph
File:TIF graph.pdf|thumb|right|graph showing TIF results. Click to enlarge]].
- I checked the graphs links, and categories and added some catagories from this article to the image, I do understand the math and this graph is about as clear as it gets when it comes to illustrating the down side of TIF's and BID's ( Business improvement districts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_improvement_district ). Though i understand the math i could not do it justice( explaining the math ), other than to say that "government-developer incest"..."center around freezing the portion of property tax dollars that go into social services at current levels for some designated period of time, up to 30 years." is stating the case mildly, while "...gentrification..." is way soft! ...they do ( NOT ) put money into the system... See the GRAPH and please, DO, click to enlarge, The "cost of basic services" is not shown in red for no reason ( this is trash service, road repair and improvement, snow removal, disaster recovery... think of tornado warning systems in need of repair or never purchased... ) and all that red ink below in the triangle is what goes into that developers pockets ( it does ( NOT ) come back into the "...system, and this page only points to TIFs as a tool..." i can only accept that statement if the tool in question is a screwdriver and the "john q. publics", like us, are the screws. SORRY FOR ALL THE YELLING in this comment but i arrived late ( as usual ) to the discussion, with the graph shown full sized or larger the article would be more balanced, as is, on the whole, " This article is much improved, as far as" ...n... "POV. " "?rant?" JSo9-10 (talk) 10:48, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hey guys, I'm new to this conversation, but this graphic is definitely POV. "Red ink" is a loaded term. Can we find a way to improve things? Perhaps the thing to do would be to add in some language that notes that this is the critics' view (and then pair that with the supporters' view). Karichisholm (talk) 18:40, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
No the graph is not POV. In fact it is an honest representation of most uses of TIF. It has been fully vetted by lawyers and TIF experts. It is far more accurate and honest than anything any Urban Renewal agency ever created. It is precisely accurate to refer to the missing revenue as red ink. That is the funding hole left behind by diverting the increment property taxes.
Every graph or chart I have seen created by urban renewal agencies has omitted both the rising cost of basic services and the fact that the increment consists of every property tax increase throughout the district that would have happened without the Urban Renewal plan or projects. In most cases those dollars are a substanial portion of the entire increment. In many cases the UR plan & projects generate very little new revenue compared to the revenue taken. And of course more property taxes are also taken from basic services due to debt service costs.
I have witnessed UR agency staff and politicians telling people that all of the revenue in the increment is created by the UR projects. This is of course a bald faced lie.
So next time one of you tries to change this to obscure the truth about TIF you better bring more than usual misrepresentations by the folks whose jobs depend on these TIF ponzie schemes. Graphman2
I see the peddlers of UR schemes are back trying to remove the honest graph that has been thoroughly validated by lawyers and Tax Increment Financing experts. I'll undo every attempt.
This is expected. The proponents of TIF don't like voters to know how it works. They prefer the dishonest municipal version that leaves out rising costs, how funding is diverted and how most of the increment would have been availble for those rising costs without any Urban Renewal plan or projects at all. Graphman2
I am Graphman2 and someone keeps taking down the TIF I created and orignially posted. This last time they took the graph off of the commons claiming there was a copyright violation. There is no copyright and anyone is free to use the graph.
recent tagging[edit]
this article has far too many external links, the section headers aren't appropriate, a host of problems ninety:one 22:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Since the entry itself is not lengthy, the reader who may wish more information can read an academic article or an opinion piece. And since there is not one viewpoint and there are various audiences who may wish information, the variety of links provides some idea of the viewpoints and the audiences involved in TIFs. Perhaps, in an ideal world, only academics or real estate specialists are concerned about TIFs. The fact is that we do not live in an ideal world. About the heading and the entry itself, I would recommend that you print the entry, proofread and improve how the information is presented, and leave out a biased view for or against the issue. The point of links in the document or at the end is to provide detailed information that the article itself is lacking.--Chriscarlos (talk) 08:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a directory and not a collection of links. If you think that a better and more complete article can be written that contains more expository text, you are invited to write one. References that support statements in the article are easily accepted here, but mere links that are not commented upon in the text are usually not a good idea. An article that contains more than ten external links is quite unlikely to ever be selected as a featured article.
If you feel that an issue that is as complex as this can be given justice on Wikipedia, then spend a few weeks or a month writing and adding to this entry. The fact is a simple, dull entry seems to work for this issue. The external links can be useful for a person who wishes more depth and who doesn't have a alot of time to know what people think on a certain issue. For one person to determine which links stay and which links are to be deleted seems to be a very elitist brand of editing, one that seems to go against the whole reason why Wikipedia exists. If one person could do this, then why not delete the whole entry and just start from scratch to reflect only your viewpoint? I think that it is a slippery slope from one person "cleaning up" the external links to one person re-writing and "cleaning up" the whole entry. And if you want, go to the American Civil War entry and clean up their "See also" links and "External Links" (which seems like a collection of links--an unpardonable thing, Civil War or not). I think that I would like to know if the PBS website for the Burns documentary would be deleted (as it is an old documentary) or the two blogs that are featured. I have contributed to two or three entries and feel that DEPTH is needed for external links when the entry is either controversial or too complicated to summarize in a neat, unbiased series of paragraphs. If you would like to add more DEPTH to the entry itself using the some of the external links you wish to delete, be my guest. If not, perhaps you can list a series of themes that the external links can touch on, and eliminate one or two of the links in each of the present themes that don't present sufficient relevant information in relation to the proposed themes (with the participation of those who have contributed to this article). The point is that one person determining what should stay or what should be deleted seems to be lacking in collaboration and an action that is not in keeping with the spirit of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 22:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- I see that Chriscarlos has twice reverted the removal of links by Hu12. He is an administrator who is very familiar with our policy on links, since he works at the anti-spam noticeboard. This article has been the target of spam. An anonymous editor, 188.8.131.52 (talk · contribs), has visited this article apparently trying to promote the Stone and Youngberg firm, adding links to them in several articles.
- There is also a technical problem that the article doesn't use <ref> tags at present, but it should. Whoever has copious spare time might want to convert it. EdJohnston (talk) 13:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Somewhat unbalanced[edit]
I came onto this article looking for information about TIFs in Britain but everything seems to be about the U.S.A.. From the tiny amount I already know, there seem to be some differences here so this article is not very informative or helpful. I know hardly anything about TIFs beyond what I learnt in this article so I wouldn't be able to add anything but could someone please add more information about TIFs outside of America.220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
"TIF began in California in 1952, but the state has currently discontinued the use of them due to a couple of lawsuits.[3][4]" ---Dagme (talk) 15:20, 30 September, 2013 (UTC)
This article is unacceptable.[edit]
The article simply does not explain what Tax increment financing is. It talks around the topic but does not give a clear explanation. ---Dagme (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Environmental Geosciences
Over the last 10 yr, a mix of innovative and conventional characterization techniques has been used to assess the contamination of vadose zone sediments beneath the pilot-scale test facility known as TNX at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. Shallow soils and groundwater beneath the TNX facility are contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), trichloroethylene (TCE), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), perchloroethylene (PCE), and chloroform (CHCl3). An interim pump-and-treat remediation system was placed in operation in 1996 to provide hydraulic containment of groundwater containing greater than 500 μg/L dissolved TCE.
In 1994, a vadose zone study was initiated to determine the degree and extent of CVOC contamination above the contaminated groundwater. Headspace sampling and analysis, acoustic infrared spectroscopy, cone penetration testing, and vadose zone pumping tests were used to determine contaminant concentrations and physical properties related to soil vapor extraction (SVE). In 2001, SVE, a presumptive remedy for CVOCs in soils similar to those present beneath TNX, was selected to treat the CVOC contamination. Cone penetration testing with soil vapor sampling provided a detailed understanding of the subsurface geology and CVOC distribution, which was essential for proper well design and placement. Twelve SVE wells were installed using direct push technology and were tested to determine specific capacity and CVOC concentrations. This information was then used to develop a strategy for operating the SVE system. Based on the results of the baseline testing and previous studies, sets of two to three extraction wells will be treated using SVE at 1-month intervals. This will allow continuous operation of the SVE system and give individual wells up to 3 months for rebound between treatments. This method of operation is intended to maximize contaminant recovery from individual wells and reduce the overall capital investment and operating cost of the SVE system.

With the opening of Ho Ho Chinese BBQ, there are now three--count 'em--Chinese BBQ places in (north) Austin! How will this all play out?!
Ho Ho has a menu similar to Din Ho, including live seafood (crab, geoduck clams, lobster, oysters, king prawns). Ho Ho seems to have a longer menu, but Din Ho usually has off-menu specials.
The exterior is essentially unchanged from the original Village Inn. Inside, more extensive renovation creates a very typically modern Chinese aesthetic, although keeping the booths along two walls still evoke the coffee-shop structure of the previous tenant. There are some nice touches, such as plastic chopsticks instead of throwaway wooden ones. Presentation is a little fancier than Din Ho or First Chinese BBQ. Fish fillet with corn sauce, for example, was served on a large plate bordered by cucumber fans and thin orange slices. The fish (grouper?) had a nice "bite" to it, like scallops.
It's only been open for two weeks, so they're still working things out. So far, it's looking good.
