Replacing Your Old Kitchen SinkSaturday, October 22nd, 2011
No kitchen is complete without a kitchen sink. In fact, if your kitchen sink is damaged in some way, you are going to find it very hard to accomplish anything in your kitchen. How can you wash your vegetables, your dishes, or even your hands? It's important to always keep your sink in good working condition. In case something happens to your sink, you shouldn't even think twice about having it replaced right away.
There are several factors you need to consider when you are looking for a replacement kitchen sink. For starters, if you are just replacing the sink and are not planning to do a complete kitchen makeover, your new sink should be roughly the same size as your previous one since it will have to fit into the same opening in your counter.
However, if you are willing to go one step further and change your kitchen counter as well, the size of your sink shouldn't be too much of a problem because you can focus your attention on other issues, such as the style of the sink you want. Basically, you have two choices: a single-basin sink or a double-basin sink. Double-basin sinks are generally more efficient especially if you have no dishwasher, while single-basin ones are generally more stylish.
Of course, practicality should be among your highest priorities so your decision should depend largely on what style of sink you think will work better in your kitchen. However, just because you put more weight on practicality does not mean you should sacrifice style. Your new kitchen sink should definitely be something you can actually use but at the same time, it should also reflect your style and go well with whatever decor you already have going in your kitchen.
Since your kitchen sink is going to be installed alongside the counter tops and the cabinetry, these elements should all complement each other and work harmoniously in terms of color and style. Most kitchen sinks today are actually made from stainless steel so there won't be much decision to make in regards to color. However, if you do want to have a splash of color in your sink, there are sinks that come in classic colors like almond, granite and white.
Once you know just what kind of kitchen sink you want, you can begin the task of finding that perfect sink. Good places to start are home improvement stores in your area. These stores usually have dozens upon dozens of kitchen sinks available, but if they do not have the one you are looking for, you can always turn to the Internet. When you shop online, you can browse through hundreds of sink catalogs until you find the one you want. You can also do a side-by-side comparison in order to find out which company is offering the lowest price on your preferred sink.
When you have purchased your new kitchen sink, the next step is to have it installed by a professional. You can even do the installation yourself; just follow the instructions that come with the product. If you have no home remodeling experience, though, it is best to leave the job to a qualified contractor.

Old Photograph Royal Scots Regiment Selkirk Scotland
Old photograph of First World War soldiers from the Royal Scots Regiment marching through Selkirk, Scottish Borders, Scotland. The Royal Scots, once known as the Royal Regiment of Foot, was the oldest and most senior infantry regiment of the line of the British Army, having been raised in 1633 during the reign of King Charles I of Scotland. The regiment existed continuously until 2006, when it amalgamated with the King's Own Scottish Borderers to become the Royal Scots Borderers, which merged with the Royal Highland Fusiliers, Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment, the Black Watch, the Highlanders, Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons, and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Avoid ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified on Truncate
If you are an Oracle programmer, then you've probably encountered the ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified exception when attempting to truncate a table. When this happens during the day, you can usually just wait a few minutes (or go and commit your other open sessions…), but what about when you are truncating tables as part of a script which runs overnight? Are you tired of being woken up so you can simply rerun the script?
Well check out this script, then! It is a very simple PL/SQL procedure which accepts 1 or 2 arguments.

Like any port city, Belfast has always had strong international connections, and once again it is attracting international visitors. The city is an inspiration to the many Belfast singles looking for love.
Most of us already spend time socialising online with friends and family. Time together online helps us stay in touch with loved ones further afield, and provides a convenient way to make arrangements with local friends.

The internet also offers us the chance to enjoy the benefits of online dating. For Belfast singles, online dating is quickly catching on. Particularly for those with children, a relationship or dating website can be a lifeline, and a Belfast dating site provides the opportunity for a varied social life without the expense of a babysitter.

Since Silverlight renders HTML only on top of the plugin (actually the browser is rendering the html) it will always have problems with the layout of other controls. The best solution for you is to handle the TileView.TilePositionChanged event and hide the according HtmlPlaceHolder control and once the manipulation is over - show the html again.
Please let us know if this solution doesn't work for you.

When I checked width properties at these html tag during runtime at the event "LayoutUpdated" of RadThmlPlaceholder.
I found that values doesn't match.
The Ifram value seem to have changed follow the size of RadTileViewItem.
The div value seems that it is the PreviousSize value.
Below is the code that I use it to validate the value of the html tag.
HtmlElement div = ((RadHtmlPlaceholder)RH1).HtmlPresenter;
string _dwidth = div.GetStyleAttribute("width");
string _iwidth = ((HtmlElement)(div.Children[0])).GetStyleAttribute("width");

The USS Albacore
Portsmouth Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
My father little brother and myself were driving back from boston from a Red Sox Game and decided since we were going up Route 1 anyway to stop bye and see the USS Albacore. She is a small little sub one of the first actually. You walk into a small reception building and buy a ticket not really that expensive and then you enter the museum. Looking around you learn alot about all different kinds of sumbmarines and stuff. There are all sorts of glass cases with different bits of history behind them you really can appreciate how long it must have taken for this museum to get all this wonder full stuff. Once you go out side there she is the Albacore. She isnt very big and not what you expect of a submarine because right now I know alot of people are imagining that one scene in Red October where the Sub comes flying out of the water. She isnt that sub compared to that she is a bath toy. But its intersting to see where they started and where they are now and thats exactly what this sub shows you. You can walk throught the whole thing and there isnt alot thats closed off. It was a fun waste of time really because thats all we were doing since we didnt have anywhere to be.

Joe Pye Weed
Joe pye weed (Eupatorium maculatum)
Inflorescence of Eupatorium maculatum. Note the relative flat shape of the inflorescence. This is an easy way to distinguish between E. maculatum and E. purpureum (along with E. fistulosum) which are much more conical or dome-shaped. Also, E. maculatum is generally in a much wetter environment than E. purpureum which grows in drier environments.

It is easy to spot the GOP's political vulnerability as the government
heads to a likely shutdown. They moved the goalposts on a final sum for
cuts at the eleventh hour, trying to push a possible compromise of $33
billion to $40 billion because they clearly feared they did not yet have
enough votes. Their conservative members continue to insist on language
affecting policy changes at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
abortion and the implementation of the healthcare reform law, which are
motivating progressive groups and donors like Democrats could have only
wished for. Indeed, cutting spending and deficit reduction — not to
mention job creation — was the Republicans' mandate from the voters in
last year's midterm elections, not restricting abortion or limiting
environmental regulations.
But it's also worth noting that the Democrats have become the Party of No. To avert the shutdown they claim could threaten the economic recovery by continuing to fund the government for the next six months remaining in fiscal 2011 they have produced not a single piece of legislation. Sure, they will sit down to haggle over numbers Republicans come up with, yet despite controlling the Senate and the executive branch, Democrats have allowed the House Republicans to drive the entire budget debate thus far. More importantly, President Obama has been joined by congressional Democrats — save for three brave Democratic senators — in avoiding any discussion or engagement on the pressing issue of entitlement reform that both parties agree — and insist — must be tackled for the future generations to be relieved of our crushing debt.
In my column this week I described why a shutdown could be perilous for the GOP, and why it is unnecessary since on cuts, at least in this round, they have already won. The Republicans will likely overreach, as parties newly empowered often do, and as Democrats did by passing the stimulus, healthcare reform and cap-and-trade legislation even when they knew they were unpopular. But Democrats shouldn't count on GOP mistakes to lead them back to power in 2012 or beyond. They should join the debate on how to solve our fiscal crisis and propose solutions of their own.
In the months to come, the two parties should work together as six senators are on trying to reach consensus for real deficit reduction. And if Democrats find Rep.

It had been entirely too long since he'd visited the animated world. He'd become complacent, in his mind; almost too comfortable in his human skin, and the realisation had sickened him. He was a lion... a proud beast, not the delicate, two-legged abomination the new world had made him and so- even when the portal spat him out into unfamiliar territory: he was pleased. He found himself surrounded by rubble, with crumbling towers and parapets all around and he frowned at the strangeness of it all. Of course, since the darkness fell he'd visited all sorts of odd places but this... it had such a human element to it that he'd had to quickly check himself over, relieved to see the dark fur and paws in place of skin and feet hidden in shoes.
For a while he'd explored, practising his agility by jumping up onto the uneven ledges and leaping off before they could crumble to nothing beneath his weight. There were no dangers to be seen and arrogance left him careless. Occasional glances about were as cautious as he got; otherwise snorting derisively at the thought that anything could possibly blindside him.
So when he saw a lioness lying there (after he'd wandered off a little ways, and turned back to the crumbling castle)- he was stunned. Even more so when familiarity began to set in.
For a moment he stood there, unable to believe it and unsure as to how to continue. Should he announce himself, approach and ask about Kiara? Should he quietly make his escape before she noticed him, so as to avoid reliving the last moment they'd seen each other? His banishment... after he had been wrongly accused of her husbands brutal attack.
Overwhelmed with a growing sense of unease, he opted for the latter- turning and skulking behind a tower in order to begin his escape from the situation before it began.

khari judas ward. 601. UM..HOPE IT'S OK.
Being on all fours again was something that Nyah cherished. It wasn't that her circumstances magically changed whenever she crossed the bridge and found herself in her old body once more—her daughter was still walking among the stars, her pride was lost to her, and the closeness that she had with Simba was gone. She was alone. More alone than she had ever been. But the helplessness that she usually felt in the city, the desire to keep moving lest she crumble away into nothingness…was gone. Yes, sadness haunted her every step. The once proud shoulders now drooped and where she had once exuded confidence in every step she was now more cautious and unsure. But she had more control in this form. There was a trust in her own paws that never existed in San Francisco.
Perhaps that was why (along with the insane hope of finding a familiar face or hearing an answer from long-dead kings) she continued to visit the portal so often. The loud and fast world of the humans gave her a headache and despite the few joys she had found there, she preferred home all the same. The quiet stillness of the savannah was what she had been hoping for when she stepped through the arch and though she hadn't gotten what she wished for (when had she ever?) she had at least gotten the quiet. The crumbling castle was closer to the human world than she had wanted but the walls were long absent of the touch of human hands. Ghosts or shadow beasts were more likely to haunt these halls than anything else and though she had been on high alert since seeing the castle come into view, the area was seemingly empty. There was a scent on the air that teased her nose but she couldn't quite name it.
Outsider. Her mind provided for her. But it smelled more familiar than that. Not Zira, thank the stars, but someone else. Giving a half shrug of her shoulders, the lioness found herself a ledge that seemed sturdy enough and laid down upon it. The tension eased out of her shoulders as she settled into wait. If the scent she had followed was indeed one of Zira's brood (she hoped it was Kovu as he was the more reasonable choice) they'd be back. She hadn't been quiet in her short exploration of the castle and no doubt whoever it was would be along shortly. She could, she supposed, give chase to the scent but decided against it. If the Outsider wasn't Kovu she would need to be ready to fight. And…to be honest Kovu himself might fight her as well. She'd not said a word in his defense when Simba passed judgement on him despite what her heart had believed. She had intended on it later, there really was no reasoning with Simba when he was like that, but good intentions aside…later had never come. And now…now Kiara was gone.
With a heart-felt lash of her tail she set her sadness aside. She couldn't afford to be lost in thought. There would be no mercy to be found at this lion's paws because of her loss. "You may as well come out." She said tilting her head in the direction of the slight noise she'd heard, "I know you're there." She would greet whoever it was as she had been, a queen, and not as she was now the ghost of her former self. If she could just pretend for a few moments, she would be able to get out of here unscathed.

Her voice rang out across the crumbling stone, and he froze, a silent snarl curling at the corner of his lip. Shoulders hunched, he considered his options. Irritation evident in a harsh flick of his tail, Kovu drew himself up to his full height and stalked back around and into the light. His body language was clearly uncomfortable but bordering on aggressive; his muscles tense, ears laced back against a budding mane and the tip of his tail twitching from side to side. Unable to meet Nala's gaze, green eyes flickered up to her face and away once more. A low growl threatened in his chest but he kept it at bay. Aside from Kiara, Nala was the only one of the pride who had shown him any kindness.
"I'm here. What now?"
Despite her past sweetness, Kovu was more than prepared for an attack. Since Simba's attack and the following banishment, his heart had become blacker by the day. Zira's training had begun to filter back in, every bad thing he'd ever heard about Simba and his ilk whispering through his dreams until he'd begun to believe them. Even Kiara, the love of his life- had begun to twist and turn in his mind into someone a little less pure.
"I'm not in the mood to fight you."

khari judas ward. 469. UM..HOPE IT'S OK.
Kovu. Thank the stars. While it was true (and evident from his body language) that he had no reason to trust her, he had proven himself to be at least somewhat reasonable. Even kind. And her heart had seen good inside him—even though she hadn't stood against Simba when his fate had been decided. How could she? There was no reasoning with her mate while he was in that state and even without the argument from Kiara, she had intended on speaking for him later. But as with most things, later never came. And as the saying went, the road to hell was paved with good intentions. She ought to know as her silence along with her husband's over-protective paranoia had led her to hell itself and it had cost more than she could afford to lose. Kiara was—would always be her world. And now her world was gone.
"Kovu," she said unable to keep the sadness out of her relieved tone, "I'm…I'm glad you're all right." It was the truth. Her husband's verdict couldn't erase what the young lion had meant to her daughter. Even without that, seeing a familiar face was a gift in itself. The darkness that had covered their lands had come without warning and discrimination. If Kovu had escaped, others might have too. Sarabi and the other lionesses could be safe too.
As for what happened now, that was entirely up to him. She meant him no harm—she never had despite what he may think—but his intentions were unknown. Despite her gut feeling about him, she didn't know him. Not really. Their paths had gone separate ways since their parting and she found that she couldn't hazard a guess as to what he might do. Still, his affirmation (of a sort) that he wasn't going to fight with her (for now) set her more at ease. Perhaps she could mend a bridge that was burnt in the past. Or at least try. For Kiara's sake…and because it was the right thing to do. "I don't want to fight you either." Their fight wasn't with each other. It never had been. Where her husband had been wary and harsh—even before Kovu's banishment, she had tried something else. Kindness. Kovu wasn't Scar. Or his mother. He was just a cub. No different than her own daughter. Rougher around the edges, perhaps, but not all together bad. "Could we just…not fight? Talk maybe, instead?" A strange request perhaps but she was curious. She wanted to know what happened after she and her husband had left. And Kovu…he deserved to know about her daughter. Despite what she believed regarding her death, he still deserved to know. But would he speak with her? Trust her enough, despite it all? She could only hope so.

Kovu knew his legacy: born in grief, raised in hate. The cries of outrage from those who drove him from Simba's lands had permanently drilled those words into his mind. Engraved them upon his soul. He was a creature of fire and ash, of destruction. Everything he touched would wither and die before his eyes. Yet here stood Simba's Queen, a woman of life and love and laughter. She had known a loving family, a doting group who would die for her. He knew nothing of the sort. He had been offered but a glimpse of her life, until her husband took it from him. Part of him wanted to hate her, to loathe her very image- yet even as the growl rose in his chest it subsided, dimmed to a look of discontent on his face as he sat down awkwardly, scowling at her across the rubble.
"Are you?"
His words were bitter, spoken with perhaps a bit more venom than was entirely necessary. Nala may not have spoken out against his banishment, but neither had she ever been cruel to him. Hers was not among the voices that cried out their approval when Simba passed judgement. Perhaps most importantly; she was Kiara's mother. All that Kiara was, was down to the lioness before him. He refused to believe that any good in his once love had come from Simba. So, out of respect for the memory of what he had with her daughter- Kovu attempted to speak in a more civil tone, though it still carried a rough edge.
"What's there to talk about? We're not a pride."

khari judas ward. 744. She's sorry, Kovu.
The bitterness of his response shouldn't have surprised her nor should it have stung her heart as much as it did. While she knew that he had no reason to trust her, to want anything to do with her at all, she had never wished him harm. Not from the first moment she saw him. While it was true, his mother and many of her lionesses had wished her and her family harm, she felt that the young lion before her ought to be given a chance to choose his own path. It wasn't in her to judge him for the sins of his father—or his mother. Was she bitter against the pain that Scar had caused? Of course. But that had little to do with Kovu. And seeing him look at her daughter the way that he had despite the short amount of time that he had spent with her had softened her heart even further. Whatever it was that Zira had intended for him and whatever her mate thought he had done, in her eyes, Kovu was innocent. And prior to his banishment, she had been certain that her actions had spoken for him in such a manner. And maybe they had. Only to be blotted out by refusing to follow her heart and defy the king by siding against him and defending her belief in the cubs. But she hadn't. Instead she sought time. And it was a mistake that she would have to pay for with the rest of her life. "I am. I never wished you harm, Kovu. And for what little it's worth now, Simba was wrong, and I knew that but said nothing when I had the chance. And for that I am sorry."
The apology and admittance of her mistake did little good to him now. And unlike she would have hoped, it did little to ease the guilt she carried over her actions. Still, they were words that she had felt needed to be said. "There is no pride anymore, Kovu. All of us are scattered to the winds—left to wander alone and more still may walk amongst the stars." Tears swam before her eyes, causing his scowling image to blur, "Despite what you must think of me, there are things you deserve to know." Mending bridges took time and effort. Things that she was willing to put in to Kovu. He deserved much more than he had been given. Laughter and warmth. Forgiveness and family. All things that for however briefly, had been given to him by her daughter. Kiara had always loved openly. Fearlessly. She was her father's daughter. And despite how much knowing her fate would hurt the bitter young lion before her, it was better than not knowing at all. "Kiara's gone." Her voice faltered and broke but she made herself continue, "She left home immediately after your sentence. She loved you and was prepared to follow you into exile. We followed her and there was an argument, the gorge crumbled and she fell in. We found no sign of her." No body. No paw prints…nothing. Her daughter had vanished like the stars after the sun's rising.
And though her heart wished to believe that they were wrong, that somehow her daughter had made it out alive. That by some miracle she had found Kovu an the other lionesses and was fine, nearby in fact, and had been looking for her parents but that was a fantasy. An impossible dream of someone who had lost everything. All prior illusions of strength were gone. Where moments before a Queen had sat before him—now there was just the mother who carried the weight of her daughter's death on her shoulders. Who was estranged from everything and everyone that she knew. Aside from her husband, who despite being with her every day remained a stranger to her, Kovu's was the first face she had seen and recognized since the darkness fell. That had to mean something didn't it? While neither of them had been stanch enemies or friends, as the saying went, better the devil you knew than the one you didn't. And grief had a way of tying together unlikely allies. Whatever the case was, whatever the young lion decided to do with the information that she'd shared with him, if he allowed it, she'd be there for him. Pride or not, no one deserved to bear such news alone.

Her words were like saccharine poison and he scoffed, refusing to believe her. Why should he? She and her ilk had brought him nothing but pain that day. Certainly, she had not spat at him, had not called out in hatred as he ran from Pride Rock, from Kiara… but again, she had not defended him either. Try as he might not to tar her with the same brush as Simba he could not help but remember his mothers stories. Of the false King and his concubine, the one who deserted the ranks of the true King Scar, and brought back the usurper. Stories told time and time again until they rang like truths in his young mind. Even now, he could recall every word. How she brought famine, fire and flood upon her heels as she returned with Simba. It was difficult, in these dark days to recall anything but the stories and words of his mother. Kiara's light could not break through, not here.
"...amongst the stars..."
"...things you deserve to know..."
"...Kiara's gone."
Throughout her speech, his attention had wandered. Flitting back and forth between her soft words and the harsher voice of his mother through memory. It was only then, when Kiara's name fell so sorrowful from her lips that he snapped to attention, eyes wide as he sprang to his feet. "No." His voice came out a growl, determined, vehemently refusing to believe what he had heard. "No." Kiara couldn't be dead, shouldn't be dead. With those two words, Kovu's world came crashing down around him. The walls he had constructed, the steadfast determination to forget Kiara and the love they had shared crumbled and fell and he was left bare, vulnerable. It was his fault, it was his fault, she had followed him and-
It was Simba's fault.
A scream of anger and agony tore through him and echoed around them, punctuated by the sound of crashing rocks all around them. Panting, gasping for breath his entire body shook with the rage he could hardly contain. Kiara was dead and it was Simba's fault. Simba, who had taken so much from his family. Simba, who had now taken Kiara, his own daughter- in a bid to make him suffer. His emotions overwhelmed him, unable to discern between paranoia and the obvious truths of the situation and he turned a hateful gaze upon Nala, unaware of the tears that threatened to spill.
"It's his fault. He did this. He killed her!"

khari judas ward. 673. She's sorry, Kovu.
Nyah had known as soon as the words has left her mouth where this would go. Where else could his mind have taken him? There was no other path, no gentler way of breaking the news that would save her from implicating her mate. True, she held blame herself, but it wasn't she who refused to listen. It wasn't she that ordered Kovu's banishment. She wished she could cast the blame elsewhere, mend the gaping hole that now stood between her and Tau, just to have someone to share this pain with—but there wasn't. And now…now the young lion before her was embittered as well. More so than he had already been, and unlike the lies his mother had fed him, this was true. And the truth hurt worse than the lies.
She knew the pain, anger, and heart-wrenching agony that coursed through his veins now. Knew the sound that tore from his throat. As they had come from her own first. When she had seen her daughter swept away. When there had been nothing left of her. Nothing to confirm or bring her a measure of peace—if there were any peace to be had after something like this. After her own heart had drowned right beside her daughter's. At least Kovu would be spared that. He wouldn't have to relive the scene each night. Hear the last cry of Kiara or race to the gorge in a futile hope that she could be saved. That somehow she could be out there. No. Though it tore at her heart to have to tell him, at least he knew. No months of hoping and praying only to be disappointed. No need of a false façade of a marriage that was nothing more than a chain around her, dragging her down into darkness and despair…
"We both killed her." She said her voice hollow and broken. She needed him to believe it. Otherwise that hate that she saw burning in his eyes would destroy Tau. And she couldn't—she wouldn't let that happen. She wouldn't raise a claw to Kovu, for Kiara's sake, but she wouldn't standby and let a massacre happen. If there were any of her pride left, they needed stability. And despite what her feelings were (or weren't) towards him…he was the king. And the rightful one. It was her duty to protect him. "We should have listened…and the cost…the cost of not doing so will haunt us all."
What did she do now? She didn't know Kovu. Any words of comfort felt hollow. How could she tell him it would be all right when it wouldn't? Nothing would be all right, ever again. Kiara was gone. And with her so much light and happiness. What would have happened had they heard out Kovu? Had they laid down the hurt and sins of the past to just…hear them? That path of forgiveness was gone. She doubted Kovu would want anything to do with her. That her kindnesses, now too lately given, would only be spat back in her face. But a soft voice—that sounded like her daughter's—said try. And so she would. "Kovu, I know these words are too lately given…that your heart is shattered but I am sorry." She paused, noting the shining tears behind the hate in his eyes, "I wish I could change it, every day, but I can't. I can't change that she's gone…but I can change how I am towards you. If you need anything…I-I will try to help you if I can." It wasn't the best way of saying what she meant and in fact left her feeling awkward and unsure. But it was spoken from her heart or what little remained of it. That had to count for something, didn't it? As it was, she hadn't been comforting in a long while. And Kovu…hadn't known much comfort either aside from his time with her daughter. But she had—and would continue to try. And maybe…maybe in time it would help them both.

Abstract top ↑
The main aim of GANOVEX was to study the petrography, geochemistry, tectonics and volcanic geology of the mobile belts bordering East Antarctica. The margins of the Precambrian shield and the Precambrian to Paleozoicfold-belts were studied, as well as their relationship to similar tectonic units in other southern continents. The characteristic features of each unit were worked out and incorporated into a cross section stretching from the East Antarctic Shield, across the Ross Orogen, to the "Borchgrevink Orogen".
Our investigations have enabled us to fill in some of the blank areas on the geological map of Antarctica.
This issue consists of a complete report on the research results achieved so far. It is accompanied by a geological map of North Victoria Land, as well as separate reports on logistics, radio communications and medical care in polar regions.

I have had an opportunity to speak with their award recipients and hear success stories all because of the generosity of the BIWC. Their ideas are innovative and they are making their mark in the community.

Edythe Salzberger, 99; Pioneer in Art Therapy
Edythe Woolf Polsby Salzberger, 99, one of the first art therapists in the Washington area, died Dec. 5 of anemia at her home in Chevy Chase.
Mrs. Salzberger was a painter in her early years who received an associate's degree from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1931. She studied painting at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and later with artists Robert Brackman and William Shulgold.
She developed an interest in art created by psychiatric patients and in 1950 began to study projective drawings under the direction of Fritz Wengraf in New York.
"I always struggled between painting as an end in itself and practicing art therapy," she once wrote.
Moving to Chevy Chase in 1950, she began working as an art therapist in 1957 at Hillcrest Children's Center, a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children. The center, located on Nebraska Avenue NW on the site of what is now the National Presbyterian Church, later closed for lack of funding and was incorporated into the psychiatric services offered by the National Children's Medical Center. She also provided training to clinicians at D.C. General Hospital on the use of art therapy, and established an art therapy program at Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer in Israel.
Art therapy was a relatively new discipline when Mrs. Salzberger began her career, and she became one of the founders of the Washington chapter of what later became the American Art Therapy Association. She published numerous articles in professional journals and produced one of the first films demonstrating the use of art therapy. Titled "Michael," the film was designed for use in university classes.
She was born Edythe Woolf in Providence, R.I. In 1931, she married her college sweetheart, Daniel Polsby II, and lived in New Haven and Norwich, Conn., where her husband was a businessman and farmer. She worked on the family farm during World War II, when agricultural workers were hard to find. The farm produced as many as a thousand eggs daily; they were sold under contract to an Army camp on Cape Cod.
Her husband died in 1946, and she moved to Chevy Chase with her three sons. She was one of the founders of Temple Sinai in the District and was active in a number of Jewish charitable organizations.
She completed requirements for her undergraduate degree at RISD in the late 1950s.
In 1966, she married Henry X. "Hy" Salzberger, a recently retired Texas department store executive, and moved to Dallas. She helped her husband in the two organizations he founded, Dallas Taping for the Blind and a local radio station for the blind. She also lectured on art therapy at hospitals and at the University of North Texas, and supervised therapists-in-training.
When Mrs. Salzberger's husband died in 1994, she returned to Chevy Chase to be closer to family and friends. She also resumed painting.
Her son, Nelson W. Polsby, died in 2007.
Survivors include two sons, Allen I. Polsby of Bethesda and Daniel D. Polsby of Fairfax County; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

In two games without Avery Bradley, Isaiah Thomas has 90 points and zero assists
Isaiah Thomas has played just two games this season without starting backcourt mate Avery Bradley. You could say Thomas becomes a different player without Bradley alongside him.
Incredibly, the Celtics point guard has scored 90 points in those two games without dishing out a single assist. Something that's nearly impossible to do for a point guard with the ball in his hands so much.
Those two games have come recently. The first was Thomas' career-high 52 points in a win against the Miami Heat. In that one, he shot 15-for-26 from the field and made all 13 of his free throws with two turnovers.
Then last night, Thomas went off for 38 points on 13-for-24 shooting in a win over the Pelicans while turning the ball over just once.
In the Pelicans game, Al Horford had eight assists and Marcus Smart chipped in with six. Against the Heat, Jae Crowder led the Celtics with six assists.
It's clear that the Celtics and their little general transform somewhat without Bradley on the floor. Thomas is averaging 6.1 assists a night on the year but he does his best Allen Iverson impression when Bradley isn't around.
It's certainly not a problem as the Celtics scored 117 points in each of those games to get the win.

Noa's Travel Essentials
Posted on 18 June 2014
Packing a suitcase for an overseas trip has to be every girls worst nightmare. We spend hours packing and repacking, trying to fit every clothing item we own into a small suitcase without much success.
However, don't fret! Vie Active co-founder, Noa just got back from a whirlwind design trip and shares with us her easy travel outfit combinations and workout tips for when you are on the go!
Noa says she 'looks for activewear that will enable her to seamlessly and stylishly do more and be more and flow throughout her day whatever it entails.' Vie Active has created pieces perfect for every part of a trip; from long haul flight to hotel workout, we've got you covered.
A holiday or business trip is no excuse to slack off from your fitness regime. As Noa says, "workout the way you live your life. With purpose, with integrity, with authority and with honesty and fearlessness. The way you are in one thing is the way you are in everything. If you push yourself that little bit further in your workout, you'll stand that little bit prouder throughout your day."
There are so many ways to stay active and keep fit on your trip such as visiting the hotel gym, trying a new class in the city you're visiting, doing a walking tour of the city or hiring a bike to explore the streets.
Take a look at Noa's outfits combinations from her recent trip for some travel outfit inspo!
Travel outfit - Relax and stay warm on the plane/bus/train with the Lauren Compression Tights, Viv Merino Tee and Libby Hoodie. Merino is a perfect fabric for travel as it is odour resistant, temperature regulating and crease-free so you will feel as fresh when you get off the plane as you did when you boarded. Our compression fabric is not only amazing at reducing lactic acid and decreasing muscle recovery time post workout, it's also a very effective way of preventing DVT.
Team with a pair of awesome sneakers for a chic (and comfortable) look and Frends headphones to block out the surrounding noise.
Hotel Workout - Team the Tanya Dance Short with the Lori Sports Bra and Lisa Tank for a look that is easy and comfortable for a workout in the hotel gym and as a bonus, doesn't take up too much space in your suitcase!
Soulcycle - Noa was looking fit and fierce during her workout at Soulcycle in LA in the gorgeous Vibeke Snow Leopard Tights and Lori Sports Bra. Quick-drying, the compression fabric is also cooling on your skin perfect for an intense sweat session and post-workout shopping trip. You can literally wear the same outfit all day!
Body By Simone - While in New York, Noa sported the Lava Rockell Compression Tights and Lava Lori Sports Bra during a Body By Simone dance cardio class. Team this outfit with a heart monitor watch from POLAR and be amazed at how many calories you are burning!
Xtend Barre - Noa was studio ready for an Xtend Barre class in the Snow Leopard Rockell Compression Tights, Lori Sports Bra in Black Leopard and the Lisa Striped Tank. Combine with a pair of Nike Studio Wrap's to finish off the look.

Obama Tax Policy Prophesied 89 Years Ago
Read this paragraph, and tell me who it calls to mind:
"I have never viewed taxation as a means of rewarding one class of taxpayers or punishing another. If such a point of view ever controls our public policy, the traditions of freedom, justice and equality of opportunity, which are the distinguishing characteristics of our American civilization, will have disappeared and in their place we shall have class legislation with all its attendant evils. The man who seeks to perpetuate prejudice and class hatred is doing America an ill service. In attempting to promote or to defeat legislation by arraying one class of taxpayers against another, he shows a complete misconception of those principles of equality on which the country was founded."
Though that could have been written yesterday, it actually comes from a little book written in 1924 under the name of Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, for the purpose of promoting President Coolidge's plan to reduce tax rates, including top marginal rates on the wealthy.
Mellon goes on...
Any man of energy and initiative in this country can get what he wants out of life. But when that initiative is crippled by legislation or by a tax system which denies him the right to receive a reasonable share of his earnings, then he will no longer exert himself and the country will be deprived of the energy on which its continued greatness depends.
Amity Shlaes mentions the Mellon book on page 276 of her excellent biography, Coolidge.
Perhaps the leaders of the Republican Party in Congress should put down the RNC 2012 political autopsy report, pick up Shlaes' Coolidge, and download Mellon's Taxation.

Gender Poverty in Tunisia: Is there A Feminization Issue?
This paper investigates the association between gender and poverty in Tunisia based upon an empirical analysis of 1990 and 2000 household surveys. It also tests whether there is a widespread feminization of poverty. To achieve these goals, the paper suggests a theoretically sound method to compute expenditure-based incidence of poverty and tests for differences in headcount ratio between female- and male-headed households for a given period and whether this difference is increasing over time. Stochastic dominance tests are also performed to avoid arbitrary choices of poverty lines and indices. The results suggest that although the female headed households would be subjected unequal treatment in the labor market, they are not poorer than their male counterpart as they live with more active persons. However, as we increase the poverty line, the poverty difference between female and male headed households rises to the detriment of female-headed households and becomes statistically significant. But what is more disquieting is that this difference will increase over time due to the fall in both the level and the returns of the female assets.

Regulators Examining Global Bank's Crash
By STEVE LOHR
Published: July 10, 1991
Banking regulators in Britain and the United States are trying to assess the wreckage left behind by the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
In the United States, senior banking regulators are considering whether to oust Clark M. Clifford and Robert Altman from the management of First American Bankshares, the Washington bank holding company controlled by B.C.C.I. Mr. Clifford, a prominent Washington lawyer, has been chairman of the company since 1982, when Middle Eastern investors bought control of First American, which has banks in five states and the District of Columbia. Mr. Altman is Mr. Clifford's law partner.
Over the weekend, senior officials of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Comptroller of the Currency spoke frequently by telephone to discuss what steps to take in the aftermath of B.C.C.I.'s seizure, which was initiated by the Bank of England. Safety of Banks in U.S.
The regulators are also expected to discuss possible management changes at the Independence Bank of Encino, Calif., which is also controlled by B.C.C.I. Neither First American nor Independence Bank was threatened by the failure of the big global banking company. Both banks are separately capitalized and thus insulated from their owner's financial problems, regulators said.
Yet the fact that the two banks were controlled by B.C.C.I., an institution convicted of money laundering last year, had long been denied by the banks. Mr. Clifford and Mr. Altman have insisted that they were responsible for the management of the bank, and that if B.C.C.I. had come to control First American by virtue of some stockholdings, they did not know it. The Fed has previously ordered the Luxembourg-based banking company to divest itself of the stock in the two banks.
In London, Bank of England officials began discussions yesterday in London with aides to Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nayahan, the principal shareholder of B.C.C.I., to try to sort out the tangled affairs of the big private bank whose assets were seized internationally on Friday. The Sheik is the ruler of Abu Dhabi and head of the United Arab Emirates.
But the investigations, lawsuits and uncertainty for depositors and banks that did business with B.C.C.I. in 69 countries are likely to last for months. Banking regulators are still scrambling to try to calculate the dimension of the losses as a result of the fraud, tax evasion and business mistakes that apparently went undetected for more than five years.
Estimates of the deficit in B.C.C.I.'s accounts, resulting from losses in currency dealing, bond trading and bad loans, run to $4 billion or more. But the Bank of England official termed such estimates "pure speculation until the liquidators have gotten to the bottom of the problem."
Touche Ross & Company, the big accounting firm, was appointed liquidator by a British court on Friday.
One proposal being considered in London is for Abu Dhabi to rush to invest perhaps up to $500 million in additional money to compensate depositors, said a private banker close to B.C.C.I. Many of the bank's 120,000 depositors in Britain were individuals and small-business people, often immigrants from Asia and the Middle East. In Britain, Government deposit protection covers 75 percent of an individual's losses up to $:15,000. Senate Panel's Deadline
Separately, B.C.C.I. faces a deadline today for responding to a subpoena from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to reply to questions concerning the bank's activities in the United States. The Senate subpoena, issued on May 23, seeks information on topics ranging from whether a foreign government conspired to defraud American authorities to links between United States intelligence authorities and the company.
Sheik Zayed owns 77 percent of B.C.C.I.'s stock. For their part, Abu Dhabi officials were irritated that the Bank of England and regulators from other nations seized the bank's assets without first informing the emirate, which had continued to inject money into B.C.C.I.
Big American banks including Citicorp, Chase Manhattan, Manufacturers Hanover and others, have all said they have no deposits at risk with B.C.C.I. And most leading British banks, like National Westminster, have said their exposure is slight.
One rumor in the markets has been that the central banks of several third world countries had large portions of their foreign exchange reserves on deposit with B.C.C.I., including Nigeria, Peru and Cameroon. But bankers close to those countries denied any problems yesterday. Peru, for example, under former President Alan Garcia, placed millions of the nation's central bank reserves with B.C.C.I. But the central bank withdrew those deposits after he was ousted in 1990, a Peruvian banker said.

Not necessarily the best or the best-known episode, this is superb in its own right. The premise is simple yet effective: A young man returns to life at his own funeral. He has undergone some distinct changes--an improved work ethic, a skill in fisticuffs, a touch that kills flowers, and the ability to light matches without striking them. Given the backwoods community in which he lives, the natural assumption is that Jeff isn't really Jeff--that an evil spirit has taken over his body.
A lot of good things can be said here, but I'd like to focus on this one: The characterization of the people of this "Midwest, Southernmost section" community. It would have been really easy for the writer to present them as caricatures that would have been insulting to almost anyone of Southern lineage. Instead, writer Montgomery Pittman perfectly walks the tightrope of having characters who are Southern without making them into caricatures. This complements a script that is well-crafted overall.
Look for a young James Best (Roscose from "Dukes of Hazzard") and even the Dub Taylor ("The Hubba-Bubba Man" from commercials here. Also, the final special effect with the match is quite memorable. If you get a chance to watch this episode (like on one of Sci-Fi channels July 4th or New Year's marathons), you need to watch it.

Cloud services and data center provider redIT announced on Thursday that Cartesian Capital Group and Digital Realty have made an investment of $72 million in redIT's common stock.
The move comes a few months after redIT opened its new 95,000-square-foot data center in the Tultitlán area of Mexico City.
The substantial investment will allow redIT to expand on its physical infrastructure as well as strengthen its services and operational capabilities.
More specifically, redIT will use the funds to expand the company's data center operations throughout Mexico and the southwestern United States.
"We are delighted to have Digital Realty and Cartesian as our partners for the next phase of redIT's rapid development," said redIT's CEO Murray Case. "The partnership means redIT will have all the resources necessary to expand our world class services to our clients, including providing them with the expertise behind Digital Realty's data centers. Moreover, our partnership contemplates continuing to expand our exceptional new data center complex at redIT.DataPark outside of Mexico City, and developing new data centers in other Mexican cities."
Mexico's web hosting and cloud hosting market has rapidly growing within the past couple of years.
According to Gartner, Mexico's public cloud market is expected to grow by 25 percent from 2012 to 2017, reaching a value of nearly $2 billion to solidify it as one of the most valuable cloud markets in Latin America.
This year alone has seen Rackspace actively marketing its "Fanatical Support" in Mexico, as well as the opening of HostDime's new data center in Guadalajara, Mexico.
"Mexico is a market of immense potential and sophistication, and redIT is a natural partner as we explore how best to participate in the region," said Michael F. Foust, Digital Realty's CEO. "We believe that Mexico City, as the hemisphere's largest metropolitan region, deserves and requires a state-of-the-art data center complex, and we are delighted to be redIT's partner in developing redIT.DataPark. Looking forward, we are enthusiastic about the continued development of world-class data centers in Mexico."
redIT provides a range of managed IT services, customizable cloud services, high-capacity connectivity and data centers in the southwestern US and Latin America.
