Customer Raves & Reviews
Amazing Experience!
Watercolor Poppies Pocket Invitations I have never ordered invitations online before. Magnetstreet was very user friendly and had so many options to choose from. My customer service representative was incredibly helpful. She made sure that the colors and fonts on all of my products matched and that I was happy before I ordered. The invitations came within 10 days after I placed the final offer. I would recommend Magnetstreet to anyone. I would use them again for myself.
So pretty
Watercolor Poppies Address Labels I ordered these labels because they matched the wedding invitations. I ended up having to order more for our thank you cards. The second order turned out just as nice as the first and it shipped incredibly fast. The colors were exactly what I wanted them to be.
Adorable & Quaint
Watercolor Poppies Wedding Table Numbers I've come to Magnet Street for almost 100% of my stationary. They have never disappointed! :) The table tents, menu cards, & escort cards that I recently purchased are a beautiful and quaint finishing touch to our wedding. I personalized everything from colors down to the font and I love it. The quality of the paper looks and feels beautiful. And though our wedding isn't here quite yet, both my family & fiance agree that Magnet Street stationary is lovely.
Elegant Card
Watercolor Poppies Save the Date Magnets I appreciate the help from the staff with making sure that the colors we picked would actually popped and be seen clearly. I'm happy we were able to customize the colors to match our wedding palette. We have been given compliments on our Save the Date from everyone who has received one.
Unique Save-the Date
Watercolor Poppies Save the Date Magnets Our cards arrived exactly the way we knew they would! Magnet Street has been great, allowing us to personalize any design with the exact colors we want. We were very pleased with the quality item we received for a relatively low price!

Amber, tt is gone for the day. She is in Newton for Lilly's birthday. You are jumping to conclusions too soon. Sorry my friend, if anyone needs to take a deep breath, it is you. I don't understand, why you feel you are being ignored. That is not the case at all. Some days, and especially on weekends, there is not much posting going on. People are busy with weekend activities. Besides several Chatters post onlyfrom work. Just because one jump in w/ a post, doesn't mean it get a response right away - if ever.Now, don't get mad at me. I was just trying to clear the waters.

TT has gone to a party today.
I do have some words to say about 'ignoring' in general. There are a couple of people I have set to 'ignore all posts from.' Sometimes they may have something to say that is good that I am missing, but, I find that it's better for my own peace of mind just to opt out. And some things are posted that I don't have any expertise about or interest in. So I don't say anything about those things except in a general way. ("Sorry to hear about" without offering any advice or counsel.)
Let's just let things be as they are and try to respond to what we are interested in and otherwise engage in what the 2 year olds do; parallel play! And when we are feeling a bit more like 7 year olds, we can play together more interactively.

of mean things and vowing not to come back. You wanted to be among "real friends."

Amber, I just can't believe this. What's up with you? I certainly did not ignore you. I did welcome you back and told you it was nice to see your post again. I am not going to tell you, that I ignored you, b/c that is far from the truth. Please act like a the grown up, you are.Do what your heart feels is right; you will be criticized anyway. - Eleanor Roosevelt

lashes out at others. You need to get a grip and control yourself from these outbursts.

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Most of you have seen a wild animal or two whether it's by the lake or in the woods. But one Curious critter is making its way into city limits and has police and wildlife officials on alert.

Since its early days, television has been considered a writer's medium, not a director's. Much of this comes down to structural limits: a writers' room can grind out twenty-two scripts for a season of network TV, or half as many for a cable show, but that workload is not as feasible for a director. It's also pricey to make a mini-movie, every week, for years. As a result, television genres have relied on simple, replicable vocabularies—closeups for soaps, chase scenes for cop shows, and the stagey bluntness of the multi-cam sitcom style. On network TV, with few exceptions, directors are guns for hire instead of creative forces; it's the inverse of Hollywood filmmaking, where directors dominate and writers submit.
In 1990, David Lynch made a splash with "Twin Peaks," but nothing so visually daring emerged again until the late nineties, when HBO became a Medici-like patron to TV's Golden Age. Even then, it was the writer-showrunners who got the credit. (Does anyone remember the names of directors on "The Sopranos"?) In recent years, however, this hierarchy has begun to erode, with movie directors moving to cable, including writer-directors like Lena Dunham and Mike White, as well as more purely visual directors, like Martin Scorsese, on "Boardwalk Empire," Michael Mann, on "Luck," and David Fincher, on "House of Cards." Prominent indie directors also show up frequently, placing their visual stamp on the most ambitious shows, including Nicole Holofcener, Jonathan Demme, and Todd Haynes on "Enlightened"; Claudia Weill (the director of the groundbreaking seventies movie "Girlfriends") on "Girls"; and Rian Johnson on "Breaking Bad." . . .

"i couldnt of done it without it.."
My marriage took a toll on my body and soul.. i finally divorced 3 years later and when i did, i picked up the internal detox kit i had purchased some 4 years prior but never used, and i walked out the door and didn't go back. I flew from California to Sydney Australia with my detox kit in my luggage... I immediately opened it and started it the day i landed... i was currently 78kilos... I not only purged my body but i decided to purge my house as well along with all picture frame that contained him... During the cleanse i found it extremely easy given the travel viles and a step by step calendar.. around week 2 or 3 i experienced a mild pain in my lower back... being a chronic kidney stone suffer i naturally feared the worst.. To my surprise the next night, i was in the shower and found i had actually painlessly PASSED A KIDNEY STONE!!! i finished up the kit and altho i didn't notice a weight decrease, i felt great... the 6 months following is where the magic started.. i dropped 8 kilos over the next 7-8 months, i then did another kit and am seeing the same results after the kit is finished.. ive now become a reseller to my patients because they have seen such a transformation in me and im so please to offer it to them in hopes they will get the same results.. My weight is down to 64kilos and steadily losing.. I had so much toxin build up and so much depression as soon as I could release it, it all seemed to flow.. i now do Pilates 5 times a week and run and enjoy yoga once again... Im so pleased i took this kit as i was so desperate and even considered a lap band, ant depressants and MORE LIPOSUCTION.. I would recommend ( and i do) to anyone who feels tired, unmotivated, depresses, overweight, sluggish or even just a bit toxic.. Healthy people will greatly benefit from this too.. I truly believe if there is weight to shed you will, if not it wont promote shedding.. it all has to do with your current situation. remember, Toxins will store weight and harbour fat leaving you in the dumps... if you can neutralise the toxins, a new improved you will no doubt appear.. good luck... oh- and my husband?? he hasn't seen my in 9 months, and he wouldn't even recognise me if he did...

"Thanks for great products."
I took my second colon cleanse (water-fast version) in December followed by the whole-body cleanse in January. I have been eating mostly organic vegetarian for a few years, and so I did not expect much in December compared to my first colon cleanse, which was a few years ago. I was wrong. I got great results after my colon cleanse in December. During the whole-body cleanse in January, I had a few reactions, but really very mild. During the whole-body cleanse, I noted that several-daily-loose-bowel movements are considered regular/ideal. Apparently I have been constipated for as long as I can remember. I now have ideal bowel movements, which I attribute to the whole-body cleanse, and possibly the combination of colon cleanse in December followed by the whole-body cleanse in January. This is now June. Thanks for great products. Steve B Buffalo, NY

I would say my organs and my body was at about 28% body health, i would strongly say this kit brought my organs and my whole body back to a solid 80% in body health. Then 6 months later i buy it again and now im at a good solid 90% now in health.

"the Internal Cleanse Kit changed my life! highly recommended"
My cousin introduced me to the idea of herbal cleansing, after I had been sick for several weeks. She thought maybe my diet was to blame for some of the illnesses I had. I took a chance on the internal cleanse kit from blessed herbs, after reading a lot of reviews. when the kit came in the mail, i was ecstatic. i could try something natural to feel better, and after reading all the customer testimonials, i couldnt' wait to start. let me tell you, it was the best $275 I have ever spent. I immediately started to feel better, and after the cleanse was over, my skin felt incredible. It is a lifechanging experience, and i recommend it to all my friends. thank you, blessed herbs...

Keep searching: Hiring revs up during the holidays
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Business Reporter email@example.com December 19, 2012 9:14AM
Rasheda Johnson continues to search for a position in human resources despite the holiday season. . | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
If you're unemployed and have let up on your job search as the holidays approach, get back at it.
It's a bad idea to back off on your search as the end of the year nears because opportunities are out there, experts advise.
"Don't fall emotionally, mentally into the trap of thinking that things slow down," cautioned Tom Gimbel, founder and chief executive officer of Chicago-based staffing and recruiting company, the LaSalle Network.
For many employers, hiring revs up.
"We think we'll have more companies offering our candidates permanent jobs in December than we'll have had all year long," Gimbel said. "Our business is up 35 percent year over year. Historically year-over-year, we see an 18 percent pick up in the fourth quarter."
Right now many employers are making hiring decisions for next year, noted Anne Edmunds, spokeswoman at recruiting and workforce consulting company Manpower in Chicago.
Employers are "doing quite a bit of interviewing," she said. "For companies, the budget constraints usually occur in the fourth quarter. But that comes off January 1, so they're really planning for the first quarter of next year.
"We've seen a big increase in our permanent placement business. We have quite a few more job orders than we typically do. So it's really a very good time to be looking or to be aggressive in your search."
Indeed, the Illinois Department of Employment Security's Illinoisjoblink.com web site presently lists 120,000 active job openings statewide, according to spokesman Greg Rivara.
For many prospective employers, they 'really want to finish their hiring now," said Marilyn Bird, district director at staffing firm Robert Half International in Chicago. "They want to be ready for 2013, to enter 2013 with the best team on the field, so it's a good idea to keep looking."
Job seeker and the LaSalle Network client Rasheda Johnson has found that to be the case. She has been unemployed for roughly eight months, since the human resources manager job she had was eliminated.
"Right now I'm in the recruitment process for two positions, and even though the holiday season is coming up, they're looking to have someone in place and started in those roles shortly after the holidays," she said.
In the past few weeks she has done onsite interviews and visits with prospective employers, she said.
Now can be a more ideal time for job seekers to engage in job interviews, HR experts noted.
In many human resources departments, it can be a less busy time than other times of the year, "so they have a lot more time to go through the interview process," Edmunds said.
"Because other people perhaps are not as aggressive about their job search during this time of year, you're going to really stand out because you're keeping up your networking and your interviewing," said Anita Jenke, executive director of the Career Transitions Center in Chicago.
Jenke added holiday parties can be a good place to network.
"It's a wonderful time to reach out to others and share that you're in transition," she said.
Job seekers also can see more opportunities to land temporary or seasonal work, which can lead to permanent jobs, Bird said.
"It's happening more and more today because when companies find the talent that really fits them, they are eagerly hiring on those temp employees" as permanent workers she said. "They feel more confident about it because they've seen their work. They've had a chance to get to know them. That is the area that we are seeing growth the most in recent months. There are a lot of employers converting temp employees to permanent."

University Housing officially closes at noon on Saturday, May 11, 2013 for the Residence Halls and 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2013 for Apartments/Townhouses. Your Housing Contract officially ends at the time of closing.
Residents are encouraged to check-out within 24 hours of their last exam.
All residents are required to be checked out by noon on Saturday, May 11, 2013 for the Residence Halls and 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2013 for Apartments/Townhouses.
Residents may choose either Traditional or Express Check-out as explained below. Failure to follow these check-out procedures, or if you have not checked out by noon on Saturday, May 11, 2013 for the Residence Halls and 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2013 for Apartments/Townhouses, will result in a $50 improper check-out/failure to comply charge. Additional charges will be added for damage to the room, cleaning or lost key(s).
Traditional Check-out
Traditional Check-out allows you to discuss discrepancies with staff during the room inspection. Notations regarding damage or missing items will be listed on the inventory and charges will be assessed upon a final walkthrough. A supplemental slip will be signed at check-out acknowledging the student was present for a Traditional Check-out. Notification of charges will be emailed to your UIS email by May 31, 2013. With Traditional Check-out, you must sign up for a check-out appointment at least 24 hours in advance of your planned departure.
Residence Halls will have Check-out Sign Up Sheets located at the front desk of both halls.
Check-out appointment times for the Residence Halls will be from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. – noon on Saturday.
Apartments/Townhouses will use SignUp Genius to schedule their check-out appointments.
Check-out appointment times for the Apartments/Townhouses will be from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Express Check-out
Express Check-out should only be used after hours and as a last resort. Express check-out envelopes can be picked up and returned to the front desk of your building (HCOM for Apartments/Townhouses). Express Check-out allows residents to check-out without signing up for an appointment with their RA. You must have your room clean and clear of personal belongings and return your room/apt/mail key(s) for your records to be properly cleared. A note of caution—with ease and convenience comes the responsibility of making sure the room is absolutely clean to ensure proper check-out.
By choosing Express Check-out, you agree that you are waiving your opportunity to be present at the time the room will be checked and inspected for damages, and that you are waiving any right to appeal charges that may be assessed. Damages found during later inspection will be billed, and you agree to pay or share costs with your roommate(s) and/or suitemates for assessed damages, cleaning and/or missing furniture.
Move Out Checklist
The following is a list of items that you must complete before you can be checked-out without incurring extra charges:
- Sign up at the front desk or SignUp Genius for a check out appointment.
- Remove everything that is yours from the room, if it is still usable and you don't want it, take it to the designated locations for "Go Green and Go Home".
- Bag your trash and take your trash to the trash room/dumpster.
- Sweep and mop your floor.
- Wipe down your windows, sills, furniture and any shelving.
- Don't forget to clean out your closet and drawers.
- Do not leave your personal rugs in the room, if you don't want it take it to the dumpster!
- Take all adhesive materials off of the walls and doors.
- Clean anything that's dirty.
- Check out at your scheduled time with the RA you signed up with.
- For those students residing on campus for the Summer, please follow up with your RD to discuss your transition to Summer Housing.
Packing and Cleaning Tips
When you check-out of your room, it should be returned to the way you found it at the beginning of the year. The RA will be checking to make sure your space is clean and will assess charges for any cleaning needed and all damages. If you are the last one out of the room and your roommate didn't help you clean it, you are still responsible for making sure it is done. Here are some helpful hints to make the process easier (and to help you avoid check-out charges).
- Start early: Begin taking or sending items home that you will not need for the rest of the year.
- Boxes: Find boxes to pack your belongings to make the move easier and faster.
- Trash: Trash should be thrown away in the trash room/dumpster. Charges will be assessed for trash left behind.
- Personal Items: Any personal items left behind will be stored for 30 days. Charges will be assessed.
- Donations: Consider donating your unwanted, usable items in the "Go Green and Go Home" donation bins.
- Sink and/or bathroom: All bathrooms should be clean at the time of checkout. The shower curtain should be clean and hung up. Also, if you brought your own toilet seat or shower head, the original toilet seat and shower head must be returned and properly attached. Use non-abrasive cleaners such as Soft-Scrub or 409. Do not use abrasive cleaners such as Comet or Ajax on your sink/shower.
- Mail Forwarding: Please change your mail forwarding address with USPS as part of the check-out process at the Department of Residence Life Office. First-class mail will be forwarded to the address specified for 30 days. All other mail (including magazines and newspapers) will be returned to the Post Office. You need to contact newspaper and magazine publishers to get your subscriptions sent to your new address.
- Use our Move-out Checklist
Parking While Moving Out
No parking is permitted on sidewalks or grass on campus.
When moving out of the Residence Halls, please limit your time to a maximum of 20 minutes to load your vehicle.
Got Charges? Think you shouldn't? This is the appeal process.
When a resident agrees to occupy a space in Housing, the resident also agrees to follow all University policies. This includes, but is not limited to, accepting responsibility for fines from policy or procedural violations and damages to the resident's room, floor or building.
Residents who wish to appeal charges placed on their student account may submit an appeal using the Appeal Form.
All Residence Life Damages Appeals must be received within 30 days of the initial notification of charges.
All decisions made by the Residence Life staff are FINAL and there is no further avenue of appeal. Please note that a request for release from financial obligations will not automatically be granted. Granted appeals are unique exceptions whose circumstances warrant special consideration. It is in the resident's best interest not to ignore or avoid payments to the Office of the Bursar prior to receiving an official decision from the Residence Life staff.
Q: Are there any exceptions for students who need to stay past May 12th?
A: Current housing residents must obtain approval from their respective Residence Director to remain in housing past the above mentioned closing dates and times. Failure to obtain approval will result in a $50 improper check-out/failure to comply charge.
Q: How do I avoid check-out charges?
A: Here are some handy tips to avoid any check-out charges.
- Don't be late: Being late for your check-out appointment will result in a $25 improper check-out charge. Failure to check-out by noon on Saturday, May 11, 2013 for the Residence Halls and 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, 2013 for Apartments/Townhouses will result in a $50 improper check-out/failure to comply charge.
- Clean it up: Have your room clean and free of all trash and belongings. Remove tape and stickers, dust surfaces, empty your trash cans, clean your sink or bathroom, etc. Failure to leave your room clean (as you found it when you moved in) will result in cleaning charges ranging from $30 to $100+.
- Turn in your key(s): Turn in your key(s) at the time of check-out to avoid a $125(minimum) lost key charge.
Q: How can I avoid paying for damages caused by my roommate?
A: To ensure that this doesn't happen, you will need to communicate with your roommate(s) in advance to divide check-out and cleaning responsibilities equitably. Sign up for a Traditional Check-out appointment accordingly. During check-out, you will need to discuss any damage concerns with the Resident Assistant.
Q: How do you determine if there is a charge in my room?
A: Staff rely on the room condition inventory that you completed during check-in for assessing damages and charges at check-out. Students were given 24 hours after check-in to notify of any additional damage. Resident Assistants report the condition of the room during check-out and charges, if any, are determined by the Residence Directors after the review of any supplemental paperwork submitted.

by Jane Hoinville, Master Gardener
An interesting synergy occurred on campus late this winter. Synergy around the concept that, as Beth Kruger '05 put it: "The benefits of community gardening are endless". A syzygy of three events aligned, though they might have remained unconnected had it not been for the energy created by the outreach and debate on the new Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership (ACSJL).
Jeanne Hess, Professor of Physical Education, was starting to put together a class: "Gardening for Fitness." Yes, you read that correctly: a P.E. class in gardening. As she put it: "Why not P.E., why not?!" She had hired a alumna Seema Jolly '07, who had spent a year teaching gardening with the Youth Garden Project in Moab, Utah, to teach the class. The gardening class was immediately fully subscribed.
Meanwhile Alison Geist, Director of the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Institute for Service Learning, working with the Farms to K student organization, had booked alumnus Kenneth Mulder '92 (see sidebar at the end of this story) to come to campus to speak. He's the Farm Manager and Adjunct Assistant Professor for Environmental Studies at Green Mountain College in Vermont.
His visit shortly followed that of Shea Howell, Professor of Communications at Wayne State University, who came to campus to talk about social justice and succeeded in energizing some staff members about community gardens. With the stars thus aligned, an eclectic collection of staff members with interests in gardening, food, and justice started meeting together to cultivate the momentum from winter into spring. They included: Sally Arent, Administrative Secretary to the Dean of Students; Sherry Connelly, Office Coordinator for the Kalamazoo College Fund; Jane Hoinville, Prospect Research Assistant; Deb Pattison, Office Coordinator for English, Religion, Philosophy, and Classics; Jerry Vincent, Painter in Facilities Management; and Carolyn Zinn, Associate Director of Web Services, among others. They have created an ongoing synergy surrounding what might otherwise have remained a one-time class and two campus visits.
In context
The outreach and discussion on social justice has been intense this past winter because of the ACSJL, but there is also an extensive history of loosely connected projects, SIPs and research around food, the environment and social justice. The College has also committed to rethinking the environmental consequences of its landscaping practices in its recently published Climate Action Plan.
Farms to K started with a first year seminar taught by Amelia Katanski, Associate Professor of English, called "Commitments" in the fall of 2005. It has grown into the local food movement on campus and with Katanski's guidance and the support of the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Institute for Service-Learning, it works with local community groups, such as Fair Food Matters and local farmers to raise awareness of and promote local food on campus. Twice a year they sponsor the Local Foods cook-off in which teams compete to cook the most tasty dishes made with locally grown produce.
There also exists a little known garden on campus. It's rooted in a grant Beth Kruger applied for while she was on study abroad in Chang Mai, Thailand. She started the garden at Henderson Castle, but later received permission to relocate it on campus and the funds to buy the necessary tools. In an article written in 2005 about community gardens, Kruger said: "Community gardens can be a great community building tool. They create opportunities for neighbors to work together".
Seema Jolly was one of the original group of students to collaborate on Kruger's project. The group continues under the moniker, DIRT, which stands for Digging In Renewable Turf. They have a flourishing strawberry patch, the berries from which current co-president Ben Cooper '10 swears are the best he's ever tasted. Fellow co-president Tammy Pheuphong '10 notes that each year DIRT plants a variety of crops, including cucumbers, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, radishes, carrots, green beans, bok choi, and basil.
And DIRT's not alone. According to Mulder, community gardens are growing at many colleges and universities. "I do not believe we are far from a time when gardens and farms will be as common on college campuses as athletic fields and libraries." He further asserts that prospective students are using the presence or absence of a community garden as a criterion for choosing a college or university.
Emerging shoots
What has emerged from all of the energy and interest is a concept for a College garden that involves community in two ways. It is being dug and planted by students, both those in the PE class and those who are just keen to be involved. The latter group includes staff and alumni. Hess applied for and received a small grant from ACSJL, so the project is now equipped. In the fall, another PE class may harvest the vegetables and ready the garden ready for the following spring. There are two targets for the cornucopia: students, through Sodexho, the college food service; and members of the greater Kalamazoo community, through distribution by a local food bank.
Where does our garden grow? Currently, and temporarily, in the backyard of a College-owned house on Academy Street. The small space will be perfect for a pilot project, but ...
Future space
Mulder emphasized the importance of finding the right space for a permanent garden. The backyard is fairly small, lacks visibility, and may prove too shady. He also envisioned much wider curricular involvement, including soil science and botany, the business side of selling produce, and the aesthetics and design of visually appealing vegetable gardens.
Imagine espaliered fruit trees against south facing buildings; raised beds on the flat roofs of Anderson and Facilities Management; garden terraces, perhaps with a classical theme on the hill below Humphrey House; an organic garden up the hill from the library; and a garden integrated into the plans for the new natatorium and wellness center. Possibilities are endless if funding aligns with imagination. Students could learn the benefits of locally grown food, the know-how to grow their
"We are not far from a time when students choose a college based on its community garden."own, and the skills to pass that knowledge to others. Community gardening could grow beyond PE to include science, art, business, philosophy, sociology, psychology, education, environmental sciences, and more. What could be more liberal arts than that?
Liberal Arts Soil
by Jane Hoinville
Kalamazoo College transformed Kenneth Mulder '92 from a "West Point dropout, with an interest in chemistry, to a feminist mathematician". He says he chose Kalamazoo College because of its late start date: "K" classes hadn't yet started when he discovered West Point wasn't for him.
Kalamazoo College turned out to be the right place for the Ada (Mich.) native. He did his foreign study in Budapest, Hungary, a place that continues to crop up in his life. After a Masters degree in mathematics from the University of Oregon, he returned to Budapest as a Fulbright Scholar and spent his free time volunteering in the countryside at a Red Cross refugee shelter. His interest in social justice kindled, he became a mission-intern with Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. They sent him to Sri Lanka for what should have been three years as a human rights worker. He was too effective, however, at raising awareness of the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire of Sri Lanka's long-running civil war and was sent home after one year by the Sri Lankan government.
He landed back in Kalamazoo as an adjunct Math Instructor at Kalamazoo College. "If you ever get the chance," he says, "teach at 'K'. It's great fun." While teaching math he was learning farming. In Sri Lanka he had witnessed first-hand war's destruction of agriculture and food supplies. He volunteered at Tillers International and learned how to farm and work with draft animals. Next step was a deeper immersion into farming, and he and his wife, Emily, homesteaded for four years, selling bread, milk, eggs, beef, and vegetables through the Mulder CSA and Bakery. He then earned a Ph.D. in Natural Resources from the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont. Post-doctoral research at the Kellogg Biological Station followed.
All the strands - math, social justice, farming and teaching - unite in his current position: Farm Manager, Research Associate and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at Green Mountain College. "I'm basically a math and science guy who loves good food, who loves to teach, and who is very concerned about social and ecological justice." He focuses on diverse and sustainable farming. At GMC he has significantly grown the farm in both production and student participation; introduced a 12-credit summer farming course; and started a three-credit oxen course that culminates with a driving test (oxen, not tractors) that was featured on NPR's Day to Day . He says he is also developing a study abroad element - in Budapest! "I want to put farming squarely in the middle of the liberal arts tradition - where it belongs as an interdisciplinary endeavor with deep ties to our history and culture."

Tay Dang Orphanage receives financial support from government. However, its infrastructure has downgraded a lot due to lack of renovation. The staff is limited, while the number of children has increased. The centre needs more supports in taking care of children and older people. Children under five years of age attend kindergarten run by housemothers in the orphanage, while the rest of the children go to public school 2km from the centre. The children go to the local school for half a day Monday to Friday and in the morning on Saturdays. During their free time, children need support with homework and learning English and vocational work.
Day 1
Make your own way to the arrival hotel in Hanoi. The day is yours to explore the city.
Day 2
At 9:30am, volunteers will have a briefing about the project at Buffalo Tours office - 94 Ma May for about 1 hour. Free at leisure after that. At 1:30pm, volunteers will be transferred to Ba Vi at Northern Hanoi of about 2 hour driving and visit the Centre for an introduction of the centre by Management Board. Our guide will help introduce volunteers to the Director of the centre together with the staff and provide the guidelines for daily work.
Day 3-14
Day 3 & 4 you will have a guide to give you an orientation. In the afternoon of Day 4 the local guide will return to Hanoi. You begin you work as a volunteer and overnight at a local guesthouse for these days you are volunteering.

Bevo Mill: Can't accomodate large events – Our family took my mom to the Bevo Mill for brunch. The waffles were hard; the eggs were runny; and the potatoes were dried out. They had a chocolate fountain with no strawberries. My kids wanted milk and they even ran out of that. They had lamb at the carving station, but you had to know it was there because the guy only told you beef and ham were options. He then gave the smallest slither of lamb I've ever seen! They couldn't even keep plates stocked. I had to ask twice for a plate. To top it all off, the bathrooms were disgusting! Our waiter was really great though. I did call to talk to a manager afterwards and he just made excuses. He said, "hey we did our best for a busy day;. thanks for calling" and then hung up on me! Really?! Needless to say, I'll NEVER return nor would I recommned this place to ANYONE. By the way, if this is how they handle mothers day brunch, imagine how your event will be handled by them. My advice: go someplace else.
Great lunch food, affordable and unique – I wasn't particularly looking for authentic German food, so if that's what you're looking for, I don't know what to tell you. I do know I had a GREAT experience here with my husband and my five small children at lunch. My kids were enchanted by the mill. We were greeted at the door with a smile (a rarity with this large family at restaurants). We were seated and served drinks promptly. The host let the kids choose their own crayons and coloring sheets. He dragged two high chairs with working buckles to the table for us. They left a pitcher of water and of coffee on the table for us to serve ourselves as needed (which is actually a plus in our family.) They had the best waffles I've ever tasted, and I've tasted my fair share of waffles. The kids ate every bite on their kid's meal waffle plate, and the babies did their best to devour the grilled cheese sandwich and potato bites. My husband actually had a chicken schnitzel, red cabbage, sauerkraut, and fried apples that actually was quite tasty. (Authentic? I don't know, but we ate it up!) And, it was affordable. The seven of us walked away from there with a $36 bill. Oh, the kids loved the German outfits that the employees wore. Their dinner menu looked nicer, and we probably would leave the kids at home for a dinner meal, but for our lunch, it was a wonderful experience. We would definitely go again.
Great Atomosphere, but lacking in quality food – Great atmosphere and the wait staff makes an attempt, by dress, to appear as being authentic German. Having spent a number of years in Germany, it wasn't too different than what you would find wait staff to wear in the touristy areas of Bavaria. We tried a variety of dishes between four of us (German Sampler, Count Eserhazy Schnitzel, Wienerschnitzel a la Holsteinand, and Pork Jaegerschnitzel) three of us found them to be less than to adequate in flavor and the fourth thought the Count Eserhazy was very good; as this was part of the sampler, I'll add this person passed their sample to the one who order just the Count Eserhazy. The spaetzle was sub-par and not recommended even if it comes with the dinner; it seemed to have a odd flavor and we've found store bought to be much better.
For desert three of us had (Apple Strudel, Cheese Cake, and Fresh Crepe) for the money, the crepe was the best value and had a very good flavor, the strudel fell short compared to what we had experienced in Neuschwanstein Germany, but that was to be expected and it was close enough and the cheesecake was adequate.
The staff tries hard to give you the "air" of being in Germany (not bad for Italians from South St. Louis) and they are very pleasant. All and all however, it is an ok place to go but not one that I would highly recommend nor take out of town guests to. It could have been an off night and we'll try again, but if not better after that, we won't go back again.
German food and it's novel – The restaurant is built like a wind mill - sort of difficult to miss. And as others have mentioned - it has a hugh parking lot.
The food is good, the people are friendly and the service is great.
Let's talk about the food - served hot, and the menu has "German Favorites" and other things. Once I ordered the pasta - that was a mistake - it was pasta fettechini - but it was "fresh from the freezer". The German sausages and beef dishes are great - I have ordered routunda two times - enjoyed both.
To answer the question - would I return? The answer is yes! I have returned most weeks for the past 10. Monday and Tuesday is not crowded; Wednesday they have musicians play by your table - nice treat - but also the restaurant is more crowded.
They have a special beer deal if you bring in your own stein (they are lenient on steins). I went to ebay, bought a stein, and now purchase the beer at a discount. I even left my stein there to avoid carrying it back.
There are some things that just don't make sense - they have one (1) beer on tap; hmm a German restaurant with one beer on tap - seems odd. They have many more by bottle - but the discount beer with stein only applies to tap.
The hostess and several of the wait staff have come to recognize me - this is also a nice touch.
Absolutely worth a try. Work colleges have come and enjoyed - but have not returned.
With the staff wearing German costumes, and the building - yes a wind mill, the interior is also German themed - you will not forget this place.
Come have some fun.
Good Brunch and Fun outfits! – I remember going to Bevo Mill as a very little girl. I remember it being a "fancy" (read expensive and inaccessible) restaurant. When my husband and I took an out of town friend for brunch I was pleasantly surprised. The whole experience was very relaxed and fun. All of the servers are dressed in traditional German garb. The food was pretty good as well. You will find some traditional brunch favorites as well as some not so familiar German choices. The Belgium waffles are to absolutely die for.
I would say that Bevo Mill may not have the largest or most exciting brunch buffet in the city, but it certainly holds its own and has the added benefit of costumed servers.
It was a delicious hoot!
Wonderful German Food – I went to Bevo MIll for the first time. I am new to the city so I had never been there before. I went in not knowing what to expect, leaving there i can assure you that I will be back as often as possible. I went in and was greeted immedately by somone at the door and sat. My waitress was at my table almost instintaneoulsy. She greeted me with hot coffee, when I declined the coffee she very quickly suggested the other drinks on the menu. I ended up drink a mixture of cranberry juice and apple juice. I ordered the Snitzel of the Day, it ended up being a Jaegerschnitzel, a breaded pork tenderloin with a tomatoe sauce. It was excellent. For dessert I had a piece of the seven layer choclotate cake. Wow that was huge. I would suggest that anyone who orders the choclate cake should make sure to have a least two other people to help eat it .
My bill came very promptly. I didn't know to pay at the front. (My waitress told me when she dropped off the check but it went in one ear and out the other).
I was shocked when I got the bill. I had an excellent schnitzel, juice, and a dessert, for right around $15.00. The service was wonderful, freindly and fun. The food was fast, hot and I recieved a huge amount.
I would suggest the Bevo Mill to anyone. Everyone needs to eat there especially since it is a part of Saint Louis history
Imitation German Cuisine – The Bevo Mill advertised that they are now open for breakfast and lunch daily. I looked up their website and the large menu was very interesting, featuring many German dishes, so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the Bratwurst for lunch which came with potato pancakes, sauerkraut and applesauce. The imitation pork and veal bratwurst didn?t taste very German but was OK. The two potato pancakes were the size of hockey pucks and almost as tough. I ate one bite. The sauerkraut was a tasteless dried up little unidentifiable lump. I?ve had much better out of a can. Even the applesauce tasted funky. How do you screw up applesauce? Apparently the cook got too creative with some strange spice that he had left over and ruined it. It always makes me wonder why restauranteurs put dishes on the menu that they don?t have any clue how to cook, what they are supposed to taste like or look like. The buffet didn't look very appealing either. The Bevo used to be a fine restaurant 30 - 40 years ago, and I had many good meals there, but in the last 15 years it has continually declined. The decor is still the same as it was 50 years ago, but I wouldn?t be surprised if they screw that up too someday. I didn?t complain since it didn?t appear that there was anyone there competent enough to understand. I just won?t come back.
Gastronomic and historic attraction that churns out classic comfort food from here and abroad. – The Scene
Tourists and locals with out-of-town guests come to see Bevo Mill's three-and-a-half-story working windmill, built in 1916 by August A. Busch Sr., a founder of the Anheuser-Busch brewery. Meals are served in the Mill Room, where the vaulted ceilings, cathedral-like arches, and stone-carved gnomes and gargoyles charm visitors. You can make a day of a visit to Bevo Mill by also stopping by the nearby Grant's Farm or the Missouri Botanical Garden.
The Food
The menu offers a variety of classic German and American fare, including a popular Sunday brunch. For dinner, try the German sampler platter, which includes sauerbraten (marinated sweet-and-sour beef roast), schnitzel (a breaded, fried veal cutlet) and bratwurst (pork and veal sausage), served with a crispy potato pancake, tangy red cabbage and spaetzle (tiny flour dumplings).

Choose reusable or recycled coffee filters
Millions are tossed into landfills daily. If you're using the drip method, here are some alternatives...
How to buy eco-friendly reusable coffee filters
1) Re-usable: these kinds of filters may be made of a variety tree-friendly materials, including hemp, muslin, nylon, stainless steel, and gold.
2) Paper: if you choose to stick with paper, forgo the conventional white kind. Brown paper filters are often produced from recycled pulp and are always bleach-free. Although a majority of white paper coffee filters are chlorine-bleached—and contain dioxins—many paper filter producers sell chemical-free, oxygen-bleached, white coffee filters. Unbleached or oxygen-bleached filters can be composted along with coffee grounds and used for gardening purposes.
Find it! Reusable or recycled coffee filters
Here's a list of GY-recommended reusable and recycled coffee filters. A variety of specialty shops, chain stores, and online merchants also sell coffee filters including Fante's Kitchen Wares Shop, which sells reusable cotton, gold, and stainless steel coffee filters; and Greenfeet, which offers reusable cloth and hemp coffee filters and unbleached paper filters.
Bamboo coffee filters
These cone-shaped filters are double-crimped and guaranteed not to burst. They fit 4-6 cup electric and 2 cup non-electric coffee makers.
BUNN oxygen-bleached coffee filters
BUNN makes oxygen-bleached, biodegradable paper coffee filters.
GreenLine Paper Company IF YOU CARE coffee filters
GreenLine Paper Company's IF YOU CARE 100 percent unbleached coffee filters are packaged in recycled paper that is printed with vegetable-based inks.
Hemp coffee filter
These reusable coffee filters are made from sustainably-grown hemp. They clean up with a quick rinse of water and biodegradable dish soap. Filter sizes include #2, 4, 6, and basket.
Melitta reusable coffee filters
This coffee filter purveyor provides bamboo and brown paper coffee filters, oxygen-bleached paper filters, and other coffee products.
Riensch & Held stainless steel and nylon coffee filters
This Germany-based manufacturer offers reusable stainless steel and nylon coffee filters.
Swissgold 23kt gold coffee filter
Treat your coffee to a luxurious filter with this 23 karat gold-plated option. Its cone shape fits coffee makers ranging in size from 6-12 cups and is hand-assembled, assuring you'll get a great quality product, too.
Before you buy
The alternatives to disposable paper coffee filters come with a higher price tag and require more maintenance. Gold filters, for example, must be hand-washed and the grind of the coffee must be adjusted to match the flow of the filter. Non-paper filters also block fewer oils in the brewing process. As a result, the coffee will be stronger (oils in coffee beans give it much of its flavor) but clean up of the coffee maker will be more difficult.
And French Press users should be aware that studies have shown that excessive consumption of this coffee type can lead to higher levels of "bad" cholesterol, low-density-lipoprotein, a risk factor for heart disease. Paper filters, while not tree-friendly, do absorb two cholesterol-boosting chemicals, cafestol and kahweol, that pass through the mesh coffee filters of French Press carafes.
Choosing reusable or recycled coffee filters helps you go green because…
- It makes use of recycled paper pulp, lessening the need for virgin timber in paper production.
- It does not involve the use of chlorine bleach, a toxic chemical unsafe to humans and the environment.
- It reduces waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Whether buying reusable or recycled coffee filters, you are lessening the demand for virgin timber to create new paper products. The pulp and paper industry plays a major role in deforestation, which each year causes 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to tree loss, the virgin timber-based pulp and paper industry is the third greatest industrial emitter of global warming pollution, with carbon dioxide emissions projected to double by 2020.
Pulp mills, where the bleaching process takes place, account for 13 percent of chlorine used in the United States.[1] Ninety-six percent of toxic dioxins found in the environment come from air emissions, including pollution from paper mills, before settling into soil and water where they can wreak developmental and reproductive havoc in wildlife. Dioxins can also cause health problems in humans, including cancer and immune system failure. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that humans consume 300 to 600 times the dosage of dioxins (from various sources) deemed as harmless. The EPA also reports that 40 to 70 percent of the dioxins contained in bleached coffee filters actually appear in a cup of coffee.[2]
Eco-filter alternatives
The production of recycled paper reduces air pollution by 74 percent and water pollution by 35 percent when compared to making paper products from virgin timber because fewer chemicals are used, including chlorine for bleaching (which produces harmful dioxins).[3] Choosing recycled paper options also means waste reduction. In 2005, 44.9 million tons of paper products were taken to landfills, constituting 40 percent of the total waste stream.[4] Although it is unknown how many paper coffee filters are discarded on a daily basis, using reusable filters can help reduce the amount of paper entering the waste stream.
dioxins: A family of toxic made-man organic chemicals, found in products such as bleached paper and formed from the burning and manufacturing of chemicals containing chlorine, with a toxicity level ranking just below radioactive waste.

Scan for hidden objects gets caught in a loop with file system.workflow.runtime.dll
In rare cases, it might happen that your scanner apparently gets caught in an endless loop while searching for hidden objects. This happens with system files, particularly often as the file system.workflow.runtime.dll is being examined.
It occurs only during a scan by pressing the button "Scan system" or when the option "Search for Rootkits before scan" is activated. This is an issue we are currently analyzing and will be resolved in the near future.
In case this error occurs on your system, we recommend you to perform a scan without the search for rootkits for now. The Avira Real-Time Protection is not affected at all and protects you from malware without any restrictions. The System Scanner works without this option to its full potential as well - the only exception being the search for the malware species "rootkit". Therefore, the security restriction would only be minimal.
To do this, please proceed as follows:
- Open the Avira main console by clicking on the umbrella icon on the taskbar or desktop.
On the Avira main console, click on "Extras" and select "Configuration" from the drop-down menu
Within the configuration windows make sure to activate the "Expert mode"
- Below the category "PC Protection", highlight the menu item "System Scanner"
On the right pane, deactivate the option "Search for Rootkits before scan" below "Additional settings" and click on Apply or OK to confirm
How to do a scan of local drives:
- On the Avira main console, click on "System Scanner" below the category "PC PROTECTION"
Select "Local Drives" on the right pane if you want to include removable devices and "Local Hard Disks" for your installed hard drives only

While on the lam, the cute little panda bear sent the Twitter-sphere into a frenzy with trending hashtags and more than 65,000 mentions, which helped lead to his capture.
Panda watchers around the world are faced this morning with the bleak reality of the US government shutdown also shutting down the popular panda cam.
At this point I think it's fair to assume that we've all purchased something from a daily deal site, but have you ever been able to help a cuddly pal at the same time? With today's CNET Exclusive you can!
As San Diego Zoo staff waited to see if a pregnant panda would give birth, they relied on military imaging and other tech tools to get real-time progress reports. CNET Road Trip 2012 got an up close look.
Panda Internet Security 2009 is vastly improved in speed and effectiveness over last year, but could use a little more work on specific features and technical support.
Panda Antivirus 2008 is slower than the competition and lacks independent, third-party antivirus test results, and thus doesn't receive our recommendation.
YouTube could be getting a makeover. The Cosmic Panda experimental redesign offers a slicker, darker experience.
When San Diego Zoo panda Bai Yun, 20, gave birth today, she was the second-oldest panda to do so. For weeks, zoo staffers monitored her pregnancy with special tech. CNET Road Trip 2012 stopped by.
Security company's new antivirus software is designed to defend Mac users against malware and to scan iPhones, iPads, and iPods as well.
This CNET exclusive is all kinds of awesome. You not only get a bargain on this supercute speaker, but also an easy donation to Pandas International.

Alienating My Audience: Spitting Truth about AMC's 'The Walking Dead'
The Walking Dead premiered this week and from a ratings perspective, the outlook is good. Very good. The third season premiere attracted 10.9 million viewers (a mind-blowing number for cable!), defending its title as the most successful basic cable drama of all time in the adult demo. But dammit, it's time to spit some truth on this zombie craze.
The Walking Dead tells the tale of Rick Grimes, his family, and a slew of survivors of a blood-splattering, intestine-eating zombie apocalypse. The show is an adaptation of a monthly black and white comic book series, created by Robert Kirkman, who also serves as an Executive Producer on the show. Although the show captures some of the meat of the books, I still feel like the true guts of the story remain largely uneaten.
When the show first hit our living rooms, it was a huge victory for the Horror genre. A television show about zombies was being produced and was actually going to air! The books had a steady fan base, zombies were the new rising trend, and Kirkman and effects master Greg Nicotero were both signed on. Epic win! Although I enjoy The Walking Dead enough, I still can't get over the fact that the show isn't living up to its full potential. Sure, the zombies look great, the blood and gore is spot on, but much of the characterization of our beloved survivors is gone. I'm not loving the cast (Laurie Holden's Andrea is my favorite, yet I fight the urge to fast forward every time Sarah Wayne Callies opens her mouth), or the adaptations of who these characters are. It's very telling when comic book art can present more emotion than actors and actresses on screen, but in this case, the book's art and writing really do win out.
It's also no surprise that Season 2 had pacing problems. We searched for Sophia for what seemed like an eternity, and even when words were exchanged, the series really wasn't saying much – about society, or about the lives and relationships of these people we're peering in on. It doesn't feel cohesive. The only true emotional punch this show delivered was the shocking discovery that Sophia was a zombie, hidden inside Herschel's barn. Once we got over the awesomeness of zombies on TV, viewers waited a full season and a half before getting a shocking, real, emotional payoff.
Season three's premiere episode got "back to its roots" of killing zombies. Though I love some delicious violence, this running, gun toting, and stab-y goodness begins to lose its effectiveness when the characters behind it aren't as strong as they could be…and should be. Because of this, the tension has dissipated. The show really needs to tighten up and dig deep inside of these characters in order to highlight the traits that readers of the book know and love. There's still so much more potential hidden in this narrative than what we've been presented with.
Perhaps my standards are too high. Maybe shows like Mad Men, Homeland and Dexter have raised my expectations. Or maybe there's just too much competition in TV nowadays. Let's face it – Rick Grimes is no Don Draper. Although I still watch The Walking Dead, I don't crave it like I do when the gang from Sterling Cooper Draper Price returns. And being such a Horror fan at heart, I really wish I did.AMC, Andrew Lincoln, Laurie Holden, Rick Grimes, Robert Kirkman, Sarah Wayne Callies, The Walking Dead, zombies

I am a first time mom and I was just wondering when can my baby start seeing? She is 1 month old and I noticed she is very active when anyone starts talking to her and she seems to be following you with her eyes. This is very exciting, but the doctor told me her vision is still fuzzy until she is about 3 months old. Is this true?
This is a GREAT question and I don't have a technical answer for you. What we know is that at birth and for 1-2 months babies can see about 18 inches, and beyond that pretty fuzzy. However, if she is tracking and following you then she may be on the end of the spectrum where she is starting to see more. She is also using her hearing and touch to determine what's around her-so it's not just vision. It sounds like she is just beautifully bonded with you!
It is true that a baby's long distance vision is fuzzy for a bit but their vision is pretty good up to about 18 inches! Your baby probably also moves her eyes because she is hearing voices that are familiar to her and she is stimulated to kick, wiggle, and look around. She is continuing to develop those eyes every day - she sounds like a sweetheart! :-)
I strongly agree with you Jess_BabyRN. You mention it so well.
