Progressive Medical will add 125 jobs to its Westerville headquarters over the next three years.
Progressive Medical will add 125 jobs to its Westerville headquarters over the next three years.
The company announced the expansion Dec. 10, less than a week after Westerville City Council approved a five-year tax deal for new jobs created by the company.
Progressive Medical already employs more than 430 people in Westerville. The company offers pharmacy benefit management services and ancillary services in the workers' compensation and auto no-fault industries.
Company officials were considering whether to place the new jobs at its facilities in Memphis, Tenn.; Salt Lake City Utah; or at its Westerville headquarters, 250 Progressive Way.
At its Dec. 4 meeting, Westerville City Council unanimously authorized the city manager to offer a 20-percent income-tax offset to the company for any new jobs added to its Westerville location for the five-year period from 2013 and 2017.
If the jobs were added in Westerville, they could generate approximately $640,000 in additional income-tax revenue over the five-year agreement, with $160,000 being provided in an offset to the company, said Westerville economic development administrator Jason Bechtold.
The tax deal was put forward with the hope that Progressive Medical would be encouraged to expand in Westerville, Bechtold said.
City manager Dave Collinsworth said he was happy to see Progressive Medical's investment in Westerville.
"The City of Westerville is fortunate to help Progressive Medical grow within the Columbus Region," Collinsworth said in a press release announcing the expansion. "Job creation and financial investments like this are vital to building our local economy and making Westerville a better place to work and live."
The agreement would replace an agreement signed in October 2009 that is set to expire in 2015.
The agreement passed by the city will be used to leverage a Job Creation Tax Credit from the state, Bechtold said.

Remember the old GeForce 7950 GX2 video card that we looked at back in the summer of 2006? It's been nearly two years since the GeForce 7950 GX2 became the first video card to utilize two GPUs, each mounted on its own dedicated PCB and using a single PCI Express slot. This gave birth to the term Quad-SLI, but in June of 2006 the design came out at the wrong time. Just five months later in November 2006 the GeForce 8800 GTX was launched and changed the landscape for gaming by raising the bar when it comes to performance with a feature list that is still impressive today. The gamers of the time were waiting for DirectX 10 graphics cards to arrive and when the GeForce 8 series landed the GeForce 7950 GX2 was a thing of the past. The GeForce 7950 GX2 silently went away and Quad-SLI was seldom talked about on forums let alone being seen at LAN parties around the country.
It's been nearly two years since NVIDIA has produced a dual PCB video card design and they feel they have a winner in the works with the GeForce 9 series. One of the reasons NVIDIA feels so strongly about the GeForce 9800 GX2 is because they have a whole new approach at how the video game frames are being rendered. The first generation Quad SLI technology seen on the GeForce 7950 GX2 back in 2006, used a hybrid mode of split frame rendering (SFR) and alternate frame rendering (AFR) to enable concurrent rendering on four GPUs. With the latest games utilizing complex shaders, inter-frame effects, and multi-pass rendering, SFR becomes less efficient.
The GeForce 9800 GX2 features a new video bridge and a re-architected driver to allow for four frames to be rendered concurrently, but there is a catch. The OS framework required to support four frames in-flight is only available in Windows Vista. With the new 4-way AFR technique, geometry, texture, and shader processing all benefit from GPU scaling. Now that frame rendering was taken care of with n-Way SLI architecture and the drivers, the focus then turned to horse power. For that, NVIDIA went with a pair of G92-450-A2 cores, which should be plenty of power for gaming.
The GeForce 9800 GX2 Specifications:
The GeForce 9800 GX2 is the latest flagship graphics card by NVIDIA and comes with a pair of GeForce G92 GPU's and 1GB of GDDR3 memory on board. With a total of about 1.5 billion transistors it will give the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 a run for its money. The new GeForce 9800 GX2 features 256 processor cores each independently operating at 1,500 MHz. Counting conservatively (2 flops per processor core), this amounts to an unprecedented 768 gigaflops of raw shading horsepower. In texturing performance, it can filter 76.8 billion pixels per second, or 190% more than the Radeon 3870 X2. In raw specifications across the board, it is vastly improved over its predecessor, the GeForce 8800 Ultra. But with a price of $599-$649, it launches at the same price that the GeForce 8800 GTX did back in 2006. With more than twice the shading power and a vastly improved PureVideo HD engine, the GeForce 9800 GX2 is something that all enthusiasts need to take a closer look at.
Now that we know what the GeForce 9800 GX2 is all about, we can look at what the XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 looks like.

the irony of a metaphor
Don't you love being in a gallery and seeing two people, head to head, viewing a piece of art, rubbing their respective chins while, pompously, deconstructing it...'very dadaist in its object de-contextualization, blah blah blah'. whatever. I'll just put it in my own plebeian terms, 'cool still lifes' by photographer Chema Modez

like the blog before me said:the domino effect~ another one bites the dust.
Word on the street today: domino magazine is the next shelter rag to go under. The fun, youthful magazine has been a great inspiration to so many since it opened its doors in April of '05. I have and will keep all of my issues for future reference. We're sad to see you go domino!

sweet carvings
At first glance I thought, 'these are great custom gift ideas for valentine's day' but the more I thought about it, I'd love to have a little something like this one below... with my sweet 'milo's initial. artist, julieann will custom carve your intials into this polymer clay piece, which would be cute on a key ring. $12.00 {ha! such a deal}
{measures approx. 3/4" x 1 1/2" and come with eyepin and jumpring for hanging}
I posted on artist, jessica rust's custom birch tree line once before. I'm still in hearts over her work. So pretty and simple, but personal.
$58.00 for a set of 4 {ships within 1-2 weeks}
as my mom always said: carving your names into a tree is sweet and romantic, but not so much for the tree. {or something along those lines}

From the mixed-up files of architect, Eric Clough
When hired to renovate the Klinsky- Sherry family's Fifth Avenue apartment, architect Eric Clough turned the request to do something non-cookie cutterish, into a living scavenger hunt throughout the home.....without clue-ing in the client. The hunt involved a maze of ciphers, riddles, poems and custom-built furniture with hidden drawers and panels. A fictional narrative and a soundtrack was included in the final project as well. The crazy part of this story is that the family, really had no idea this was going on, even as they lived within the newly remodeled apartment for nearly a year. Until one day a letter arrived in the mail with a cryptic poem that began with these lines:
We've taken liberties with Yeats
to lead you through a tale
that tells of most inspired fatesThe poem continued, leading them to a hidden panel in which contained a beautifully bound leather book, holding more clues. One of the clues was carved into their 11 year old son's radiator cover. Soon after moving into the home, the son's friend cracked the code, and yet the family remained unaware of the bigger game.
Behind this airplane drawing, lies a model of the kitchen, where a musical score, written for the project can be found, in a drawer above the stove.
Hidden panels on a side board, reveal keys to key holes, some where in the home.
and what was the ultimate treasure at the end of this maze? a beautiful poem, written by the client for his family, many years before.The research and development of the project took up to 4 years to finish while the actual renovation, took a mere year and half.

I kept it on the d.l. which means, plenty of time for skipping across the blog pond, and landing on great ones such as U.K. blogger, katja hentschel's glam canyon (via- design for mankind)
chronicling a far more interesting Friday night than I've had in...well years.
have you ever seen such concentration while working the hoop?
notes for my next party:
- hul-a-hoops

bb8 on decor8
I feel so honored, and beyond flattered that holly over at decor8 included me in her new 'Creativity Series: Just Do It!'. I was so inspired by the idea behind this series. I think we can all help and encourage each other to just hang in there and keep-on-keeping on. One step in front of the other. If there is one thing that I can impart it's, 'be kind to yourself'.

reynolds ware
UK based, ceramic artist Daniel Reynolds creates stunning, vessels, dishes, and more~ using a combination of English porcelain, studio glass and precious metals.
What's great, for all of you inquisitive types, is that his site offers an inside look at the process he uses to get from, point A: onion, fennel, melon etc. to point B: creating a form that is perfect by nature and turning it into an exquisite fragile piece of art. A bit of 'gilding the lily' you might say

what she didn't wear
what's she wearing, what's she wearing......move the camera. come on. ok. now I can see it. ah. beautiful. yellow. great color on her. what shoes though. God, pan down so that I can check out the shoes. oh! damn! she's seated. love that neckline. what is that? crystal? stunning. great coat. classic yet modern design. Timeless....... They're all so mellow in that family........ I wonder if the older kid is getting bored..... She looks bored.... Cute little coat..... She looks bored to tears. Wonder what's going through her mind.... "these tights itch", "I should've snuck my nintendo", "who decided leather gloves are warm?" Yes. Must be, she just stuck them in her pocket. More fidgeting. I'd die. Let's see how Michelle handles this. ooh. nice stern, disapproving-yet loving glare. great technique M. Lovely. oh here comes the star spangled banner....tears. more tears. love my country. sigh. Can't wait to see what she wears tonight.... While, my fellow bloggers around the blog pond are fervently scribing posts on Isabel Toledo this evening, I've decided to instead, post a few of the submissions that didn't make the cut for the Inaugural Ball.
peter som
Winter white peau de soie. So crisp. But maybe too 'wedding shoe' ish?
How do you choose? I've always like the look of a cashmere cardi over a ball gown.
betsey johnson Oh, Betsey, you're still so whacky. Cart wheels!...but not this time.
isaac mizrahi ...Can do no wrong in my book. I'd choose this so that he would be the Elton to my princess Di.
and in the end, Jason Wu wins. ....what's she wearing, what's she wearing...... great arms, who knew......uh. wow...ok. wait a minute....um..... I'll let the fashionista blogs rip this one to shreds. in the vein of uncle tim , I raise my eye brow, casting a leery glance over my glasses and finally announce, 'carry on!'

pointless, incessant barking
Today: a completely rambling, non sequitur list of 'things'
I don't understand red velvet cake. {and , 'it's a southern thing' doesn't explain} the minolta 16 For much of the 70s, my father never left the house without this in his breast pocket. As an architect, he was constantly shooting anything that inspired. So even though most of our vacation photos were of buildings and seemingly mundane shots of anything but us, it was and still is, one of the many reasons why my dad is cool.
I took this picture over my Christmas break at Nepenthe. That guy, with the camera? David Soul. We sang 'don't give up us on baby' all the way to our next destination. {I'd make a bad spy. I'm terrible at shooting from the hip. I needed my dad's camera for this.}
Today my head is filled with this {and i do think this is a great piece from lizard press}
team donn If you don't watch this, then go read the fabulous SGM for the best recaps on the net. Those of you who do, knuckle-to-knuckle knock for team donn. Keep strong donn. We're backing you. You have the patience of an angel {support Mr. Gunvalson with a 'team donn' shirt. Currently available on this little blog o' mine and at sgm} fennel. Completely underrated. Roasted on its own or with chicken, put into a soup~ it's delishi~oso and very good for you. This recipe for cream of fennel soup, takes names.
'Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country' The cute book with funny title, from McSweeney filled with letters of advice and guidance, from children to President Obama.
and that's all I have for you. Where's the bark collar....
I'm sorry, I haven't a clue where I found this image. If it's yours, please let me know and I'll promptly credit you. thank you.

So I've been thinking about the big to-do on Twitter about breastfeeding in public. If you don't tweet, you may or may not have heard about tweeted comments made by a radio host out of LA. He was at a baseball game, saw a woman breastfeed her baby and commented about it using twitter.
Basically, he said she was rude and shameless for doing it out in the open where everyone could see and she should cover up or go somewhere else. (I'm not going to name him, because I don't want to introduce more traffic to his website because of his comments.)
There were blogs & tweets galore. Many comments were directed to people who said they were pro-breastfeeding, but think women should be modest when doing it in public, or shouldn't feed in public at all. Then the debate became a discussion about modesty and who gets to decide what can be considered modesty vs. exhibitionism. And at that point, many people lost interest or gave up after being appalled and insulted by the comparison of feeding a baby and exhibitionism. I'm not sure anyone felt good in the end. Feelings were hurt, tempers flared, letters sent, and in the end, the overall discussion, in topic and in tone, didn't necessarily promote understanding and acceptance of feeding a baby based on the way the mother decides is best, and being free to comfortably feed whenever and wherever the baby is hungry from bottle or breast.
My take: I don't think Mr. Radio Guy has the right to have an opinion.
Of course, many people believe anyone present to witness breastfeeding should get to have an opinion about it. Many people also believe witnessing bottle-feeding permits them to have an opinion about that. And people may also have opinions about the opinions. People become expert at opinion-wielding.
I think we live in a culture that allows us to express ourselves about subjects which are none of our business. And that gives many the feeling that their thoughts should be shared simply because they have permission to express them. That isn't the case.
Using these 3 questions: Is it True? Is it Kind? Is it Necessary? it is possible to filter what might not be helpful to the discussion, no matter which side of the equation/debate your thoughts may hold.
It's not just about what you think. It's about the impact of your comment. Does it help? Does it bring comfort and support? Does it bring peace? Does it promote love? Are you bringing forward a part of you- authentically sharing with another with no expectation, just to be helpful?
Or are you being critical? Skeptical? Are you expecting others to conform to your standards? Is the comment divisive? Does it purposely breed controversy? Is it ignorant or hurtful?
It matters.
On consideration of the events as I witnessed them, between blogs, blog comments, tweets, etc., I made a comparison.
Perhaps having an opinion about a woman's choice to breastfeed in public (and sharing it publicly) could be compared to having an opinion about what someone has in their cart at the grocery store.
They are shopping in public. Their food is in plain sight. They're not attempting to hide the food in the cart with a cover. Perhaps their physical appearance can be noticed despite their clothes, because they are not trying to hide it- or not doing a very god job of being discreet. Maybe they are feeding children with those food choices. Come on, if everyone can see their figure and the items in their cart, and with children present!, and see how scandalous their choices are… Shouldn't we comment? Or tweet about it?
I do have an opinion on how I choose to feed my children. And I want the freedom to make that choice myself, and be free to exercise that choice wherever I am. I want other women to be free to make their own choices and be supported in those choices, to be really free to do what fits each woman as an individual. Because I really don't know why women make the choices they do, and I haven't walked a mile in her shoes.
There is no right way to breastfeed- or more correctly there is NO WRONG way. Covered, uncovered, naked in the woods. Each woman gets to choose what fits her best. And if a woman is not breastfeeding and you support breastfeeding, please remember 1.) it might be breastmilk in that bottle, 2.) she gets to choose her own way to feed her kids, and 3.) her choice may have had nothing to do with what she really wanted to do– there are many barriers to breastfeeding success that individual women should not be persecuted for.
And while individuals may have the right to publicly share their opinion about everything they see, it isn't usually necessary or kind. Nor is it supportive of others' right to choose what fits their life.
So if you want the freedom to make your own choices, in your grocery cart and the rest of your life, consider being quiet for a moment (or longer) and reflect on your motive for sharing your opinion. If you insist on making a comment for whatever reason, consider how best to comment so that you might be helpful and heard so you might have a positive impact.
I choose to feed my children (and grocery shop) in peace. If I can be helpful, I act. And I continue to make the choices that fit me and my family. And I'm not silent about them. So if someone asks me about the items in my cart or about breastfeeding, I'm ready to be truthful and kind. And hopefully that will have the impact I desire.

Daily Record/Sunday News
Joyce Salazar was washing bar dishes last weekend when a frustrated group mistakenly identified her as a member of the waitstaff.
That's when the owner of La Casa De Tapas, which opened last year, said she swallowed a profanity-laced insult from a member of the party, frustrated that a table wasn't available on that busy Saturday night. They had made a reservation, she said, earlier that day.
Salazar made some space at the bar. She offered them complimentary drinks and tapas – small Spanish, Peruvian and Mediterranean dishes – while they waited.
Nothing, she said, seemed to calm them down. Continue reading

The photographic process is simple. This is an examination of ethics of photojournalism based on the simple chemical reactions of photography.This column appeared in News Photographer Magazine in January 2010.
By John Long
There is no Eleventh Commandment that says "Thou Shalt Not Manipulate Photographs," so where does our belief that this is part of what constitutes an honest photograph come from?
Here is a suggestion:
There is a building in my town that for many years housed a company named Allied Printing Services, Inc. When they moved to larger quarters, the building became the home of Mustangs Unlimited. Allied took their sign with them when they left. Over the years, the paint had faded except in the areas where the letters of the sign had kept the direct sunshine at bay. The old name now looks like a shadow but it is a shadow that stands on its own without its source.
It dawned on me that this phenomenon is the essence of photography – sunshine causing a reaction, be it physical or chemical. It is as if Nature is using a pencil to draw pictures based on reality. And I use this metaphor knowing full well that the first book of photographs ever published was The Pencil of Nature by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1844. From the very inception of photography it was understood that through the focusing power of a lens, nature casts a shadow on a surface and somehow this shadow is made permanent.
The camera obscura is a very old invention and the device upon which the modern camera is based. Since ancient Greek times, an artist would lug around this box with a lens on it (or originally a pin hole instead of a lens) and point it at scenic wonders. He or she would put a piece of paper inside the box and proceed to trace the projected image on this paper. Talbot and others wondered if there were a way to have the light make the drawing instead of a hand and secondly, if there were a way to stop the process before the image totally darkened and disappeared.
This became photography – drawings made by light and made permanent by a chemical reaction.
It then occurred to me that this mechanical and chemical reaction of sunlight is in reality the basis of our photographic ethics. We talk about lying with our images and objectivity, etc., but beneath the world of intent and manipulation, there is a belief that the very nature of photography is supposed to be the use of sunlight to cause a mechanical event on film or paper and fixing the resulting product forever.
The craft of painting is not held to the photographer's standards – paintings can be whatever the artist wants them to be and no one questions that. Reporters use words to distill what they see into a coherent explanation. They are held to a standard of accuracy but words are a malleable medium and everyone knows they are crafted summations, not literal copies of reality. However, people expect a photograph to show exactly what the camera saw. We have the ability to set tone and frame photographs, to select the objects to be photographed, and so forth, but at the very heart of photography there is the simple fact that the camera records what is in front of it.
Today photography has morphed away from its original roots. It is the paradigm shift referred to by William J. Mitchell in his 1992 book The Reconfigured Eye: Visual Truth in the Post-Photographic Era. Photographs have become something new. We can create anything we want in a computer, we can do marvelous things but we have drifted away from the original essence of photography – locking the effects of sunlight on a piece of film (glass negative, Daguerreotype, paper, etc.) with a magic box that captures shadows. The original simplicity of photography has been lost in the paradigm shift.
The process of making a photograph has in turn determined the basic ethics of photography. A photograph is supposed to be the result of sunlight reflected off a subject and captured on light-sensitive material. This is the most elemental definition of a "moment." To change what the sunlight created is to violate the very nature of the photograph.
The ethics of photojournalism are much more complex but I think this elemental chemical reaction could be the starting point for our discussions of ethics. Photography has encrusted itself with all manner of sophistications (such as computer enhancements) but these things can make us uneasy, especially those of us who grew up on Tri-X and black-and-white prints. Like Simon and Garfunkle sang, we long for our old Kodachrome – basic, simple. You capture the sunlight, you fix the image, and you've made an honest photograph.

It will be populated with humans who have some fey blood in their ancestry.
Some are believed to have innate magical ability.

Defense Adjusts In Second Half
On Sunday the Cowboys played the Buccaneers and in the first half, the Cowboys defense looked a little lost to me. They were giving up gains of 7-yards,14-yards to Tampa's running back "Cadillac" Williams. I was not sure what the defense was doing.
C. Williams gained almost 80 yards in the first half and frankly, I was a little bit worried. I do not know what the problem was, but Tampa Bay was ripping off big gains in the running game and almost the same in the passing game.
The secondary had quite a few blown coverages. Even though Mike Jenkins was solid, he did give up some big gains. On most of them it seemed as though he thought he had help. He was not playing the right technique which allowed the receiver to get inside for easy catches.
In the second half the defense clamped down on the running game, however the secondary still gave up some big catches.
The coaches really have to look at this game and see what was going on. The Giants are next and we really need to be able to shut down the run and pass.
All in all the defense did enough to help us win, however we need some big improvements.

Thank you.
Because football's an individual game and the quarterback is solely reponsible for whether or not the team wins, right?
Do you know which rookie holds the record for wins in the postseason?
Mark Sanchez
That must mean that unless Wilson wins 3 post season games, Sanchez was a better rookie, right? I mean, Sanchez was not only good enough to lead his team to the playoffs, but he then won 2 games while he was there!
Peyton Manning only won 3 games in his rookie season so there's no way he could be as good as Ryan Leaf who won just as many, but in just 10 games!
Get a grip
I think you just proved the point that 'rookie records' don't mean squat. Thanks.

Well it's 2013. We survived a lot this past year. The Mayan's really poor sense of humor, our President and Secretary of State blaming a youtube video for the death of 4 Americans, Hamas attacking Israel and nearly starting an all out war, the "ceasefire" between Palestine and Israel, Hurricanes, the election season, election night (I nearly didn't survive that and several bottles of alcohol were murdered, but we made it), and I managed to not punch anyone in the face this year.
That was a close one to be honest and if I had physical access to some of the liberals on tumblr, that might not have happened.
However big things are happening this year and we need to discuss them. The obvious issue would be the fiscal cliff, but that's a horse that's been well and truly beat to death by better people than me and I'd like to avoid it.
Something that people have not been talking about as much is the fact that estate taxes (commonly referred to as "Death taxes") are going up to 55% this year and $1 million is now the threshold. This would be a really bad year to die and leave an inheritance to your kids.
Two decades ago, Kester paid the IRS $2 million when he inherited a 22,000-acre cattle ranch from his grandfather. Come January, the tax burden on his children will be more than $13 million.
For supporters of a high estate tax, which is imposed on somebody's estate after death, Kester is the kind of person they rarely mention. He doesn't own a mansion. He's not the CEO of a multi-national. But because of his line of work, he owns a lot of property that would be subject to a lot of tax.
"We're not millionaires in the terms of making a million dollars a year," said Kester who lives in a modest home and whose family — not outsiders or a corporation — runs his ranch. "I have a half-a-million dollars in soil."
Kester can't spend it, without selling land. But by selling the land, each year the ranch would become less viable.
– Fox News
In fact this will effect over half a million family farms in the United States.
See, an estate tax does not tax income or liquid assets. It taxes your assets and your estate. "A tax levied on the net value of the estate of a deceased person before distribution to the heirs." And the estate and assets of a farm or ranch, while not liquid in many cases, add up to being worth a pretty penny very quickly. Land is not cheap and neither is the farming equipment or cattle or other livestock that one would find on a farm or ranch.
In 1997, a study looked at 22 herds of cows that averaged 99 heads of cattle and with the cost of cows being extremely high ($900 a head or more) the asset of a heard of cows could be worth over $100,000.
Then the land could be worth several million on its own.
Crops grown on a farm could be considered an asset and wheat, corn, and other crops are worth a lot!
Farm equipment is another expensive asset.
Family farms and family cattle ranches, which may not have much in the way of liquid assets (many do not) are quite often worth more than the million dollar asset limit asset limit.
So what happens when the person who owns one of this asset rich family farm or ranch dies and passes on the property to their children?
Well in the case of the Kester family, his children will have to pay a 'death tax' of $13 million dollars on his estate. The ranch does not have that sort of liquid worth, so the children will have to sell off part of their father's land, their birthright, to pay the IRS.
Pay them for what exactly?
For the fact that their father died?
The land has neither gained nor lost value with the death of the father. The land is probably not even leaving the family line, no one is making a profit from the transfer of the land from the father to child.
But the IRS, like vultures picking the flesh off the dead, want their piece of the pie.
The estate tax is a relic that not even Russia or China still employ. Are we really so greedy and grasping that we use the death of someone as a reason to snatch as much of his or her property and assets as we can?
I guess the answer to that is yes, but it shouldn't be.
Estate taxes are an unethical money grab by the government and they need to go. Even if the limit was moved up to protect family farms and ranches, the estate tax would still need to go. It's a sign of greed and grasping at anything that someone else has earned.
I want to pass on my wealth to my children. That's why I work so hard to better myself, not just to give them a better life while I'm with them, but to leave them something when I pass on. I don't do it to give the government 55% of it when I die.

text: Isculpt 96 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 I have always fired sculptures with walls that varied from 1/4" to 1/2" or more, so I've used a long bisquing schedule suggested to me by a very cautious functional potter friend. Probably too cautious, at 8 hours with the lid open and then 2 hours with lid lowered, then 4 hours on low and 4 hours on medium then whatever it takes to reach desired cone. But today I'm firing some small jewelry pendants that vary from 1/8"-1/4" in thickness. Can someone suggest a suitable electric firing schedule? I'm taking them to 04 to bisque and then on the next firing to 06 after underglazing, and then 06 again after washing them in copper carbonate to get the nice metallic blacks in the crevices. I wish I didn't have to fire 3 times, but I've found that underglazing my green sculptures ends up softening some details, and it's not possible to put the copper carbonate on top of the unfired underglazes since it has to be wiped off so that the cc remains only in the crevices. So as usual, I'm under the gun and looking for a way to cut some time!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To excel in researching and teaching the theory and practice of finance as we serve, and are counseled by, the scholarly and Catholic mission of Our Lady's University. Our basic paradigm is the optimal allocation of globally constrained resources to meet both social and economic objectives.
Specific components of the mission include:
- Sustaining our progress in influencing the way financial academicians and practitioners identify and solve problems through our published research on fundamental issues in finance.
- Emphasizing theoretical foundations and empirical evidence as the basis for enhancing student decision-making capabilities.
- Through our personal commitment challenging and inspiring students to test their intellectual boundaries within the context of their overall development.
The programs of study leading to a degree, with a major in finance, are based on the conviction that successful administration in business demands an understanding of the operation of the individual firm and the environment in which it must function, as well as a command of the analytical tools essential to decision making. Thus, students selecting a major in the department are required to become knowledgeable in four distinct, but interrelated areas of study:
- Analytical tools, including computers, spread sheet software, statistics, and economics
- Functional area knowledge of the business firm, including Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing
- Environmental issues, including an examination of both the legal and economic frameworks that condition business decisions and actions
- Technical skills in the specific functional area chosen as a concentration in Finance

The EEOC wants to make it illegal for employers not to hire ex-convicts because that would be raaaaacist!
The Obama administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says it should be a federal crime to refuse to hire ex-convicts — and threatens to sue businesses that don't employ criminals.
In April the EEOC unveiled its "Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records," which declares that "criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact based on race and national origin."
The impetus for this "guidance" is that black men are nearly seven times more likely than white men to serve time in prison, and therefore refusals to hire convicts disproportionally impact blacks, according to a Wall Street Journal opinion piece by James Bovard, a libertarian author and lecturer whose books include "Freedom in Chains: The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen."
Most businesses perform background checks on potential employees, but the EEOC frowns on these checks and "creates legal tripwires that could spark federal lawsuits," Bovard observes.
Under the proposed rules, an employer's background check on a potential hire turns up prior convictions, that employer would have to prove that it has a "business necessity" not to hire the convict. The EEOC has already sued employers. The article goes on to note that a nuclear power plant was sued for not hiring a twice convicted thief, even though it's against state law to hire former felons at nuclear plants. It's insane.

The PGA Championship
The PGA Championship, the annual culmination of golf's four major Championships, celebrates its 94th edition in 2012, with its first visit to South Carolina and The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Since its inception in 1916, the PGA Championship has evolved into one of the world's premier sporting events.
Each summer, one of the nation's most outstanding golf facilities hosts golf's best professionals, as they compete for the Wanamaker Trophy. Winning that Trophy is an experience that has been savored by only 63 individuals.
Overall, 71 courses in 25 states have served as a host site for at least one of the 91 PGA Championships. Since 1994, the PGA Championship has featured the most players in the Top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings, and perennially has boasted the strongest field in golf. The 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., established an all-time record for world-ranked participants, with 98 of the Top 100.
The PGA Championship was born in the mind of department store owner Rodman Wanamaker, who saw the merchandising possibilities in a professional golfers' organization. Wanamaker invited some prominent golfers and other leading industry representatives to a luncheon at the Taplow Club in New York City. On Jan. 17, 1916, a group of 35 individuals, including the legendary Walter Hagen, convened for an exploratory meeting, which resulted in the formation of The PGA of America.
During the meeting, Wanamaker hinted the newly formed organization needed an annual all-professional tournament, and offered to put up $2,500 and various trophies and medals as part of the prize fund. Wanamaker believed that the Championship should be conducted similar to the British News of the World Tournament.
That Championship, a 36-hole elimination match-play tournament, was the PGA Championship of Great Britain. Meanwhile, both the British Open and the U.S. Open were played at medal (stroke) play over 72 holes. Wanamaker's offer was informally accepted, and seven months later, the first PGA Championship was played at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y.
British-born professional Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchison, a native of St. Andrews, Scotland, played in the final match of the inaugural PGA Championship. Barnes emerged a 1-up victor.
The PGA Championship was put on hold for two years because of World War I. It was resumed in 1919, at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn, N.Y. Barnes was again the Champion, turning back Fred McLeod, 6 and 5. The following year, Hutchison avenged his defeat, becoming the last internationally born winner for a decade. He defeated Douglas Edgar, 1-up.
With the "Roaring Twenties" in full stride, the next nine PGA Championships were won by three different players: Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Leo Diegel.
Hagen went on to win five PGA Championships, making the finals six times and winning four Championships in a row between 1924-1927. During the streak, "The Haig" won 22 consecutive matches before Leo Diegel captured the title in 1928.
From Hagen to Sarazen
At the age of 20, Sarazen became the youngest PGA Champion, beating Emmett French, 4 and 3, in the 1922 PGA Championship finals. The following year evolved into one of the most exciting finals in the history of the Championship, as Sarazen successfully defended his title by defeating Hagen on the 38th hole in the Championship's first extra-hole finale. Sarazen won the match by hitting a miraculous approach shot from the rough to within two feet of the hole.
Nicknamed "The Squire," Sarazen owns one of the most remarkable records in PGA Championship history. He qualified for match play 28 times, participated in 82 matches and had 57 victories and 25 defeats. When the Championship switched from match play to stroke play, he competed in four more Championships before retiring after a 1972 appearance. Not only was he the youngest champion, he became the oldest participant (70) when he played in the 1972 PGA Championship.
Denny Shute won consecutive PGA Championships in 1936-37, a feat that lasted until Tiger Woods in 2000.
Lord Byron and Hogan Dominate
Byron Nelson, a loser in extra holes in 1939, bounced back one year later to begin one of the most amazing periods in golf history. Nelson won the 1940 PGA Championship with a 1-up victory over Sam Snead. In 1941, Nelson made it to the finals for a third straight time, falling to Vic Ghezzi in an extra-hole match.
With the outbreak of World War II, the match-play field was reduced to 32 players. Even with the change, Snead called the 1942 PGA Championship, the first of seven major triumphs, his biggest thrill in golf. He defeated Jim Turnesa, 2 and 1, in the finale.
Golf took a back seat to the War in 1943, and the PGA Championship was canceled. When the event resumed in 1944, underdog Bob Hamilton, 28, upset Byron Nelson, 1-up. Nelson had appeared in four finals and won only once. The following year, Nelson defeated Sam Byrd in the finals, 4 and 3, while continuing one of sport's most remarkable winning streaks -- 11 consecutive tournament victories.
The 1946 PGA Championship was Ben Hogan's first triumph in one of golf's four majors. Hogan then won a second Wanamaker Trophy in 1948, as he cruised past Mike Turnesa, 7 and 6, to become the first player since Sarazen in 1922 to win both the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year.
The 1950s was a challenging decade, with the passing of the Hagen, Sarazen, Snead and Hogan eras. After Snead's 1951 triumph, 19 different Champions were crowned from 1952-1970.
From Match Play to Stroke Play
With Lionel Hebert's 3-and-1 victory over Dow Finsterwald in 1957, a chapter in PGA Championship history was closed. The stroke play era began in 1958 before a televised audience in the millions, with Finsterwald's final-round 67 earning him the PGA Championship at Llanerch Country Club in Havertown, Pa.
Jay Hebert's stunning triumph in the 1960 PGA Championship at Firestone Country Club marked the first time that American brothers had scored victories in the same major Championship. PGA Professional Jim Ferrier finished one stroke behind, making him the highest finisher of any club Professional in stroke-play history.
Arnie's Missing Major
In 1962, South African Gary Player became the fifth foreign-born player to win the PGA Championship, as his 278 edged Bob Goalby by one stroke at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa. Jack Nicklaus won the first of his five titles in 1963, at the Dallas Athletic Club, overcoming 100-degree heat and third-round leader Bruce Crampton.
In 1964, Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer both took a backseat to Bobby Nichols, who opened with a 64, and became the first wire-to-wire winner in the Championship's medal-play history. Nichols' winning total of 271 remained a Championship record until 1994.
Palmer also set a record with rounds of 68-68-69-69, making him the first player to post four rounds in the 60s in a major Championship.
This seemed to set a disappointing pattern for Palmer in the Championship. Just like Snead's U.S. Open "jinx," Palmer is considered by most golf historians as one of the best players never to have won a PGA Championship. Along with his runner-up finish in 1964, he finished second in 1968 and 1970.
In 1968, Julius Boros, then 48, survived sweltering Texas heat and a last-hole charge by Palmer to become the oldest Champion, at Pecan Valley Country Club in San Antonio.
Nicklaus Leaves his Mark
With his impressive victory in February 1971, at PGA National Golf Club (now BallenIsles Country Club) in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Nicklaus became the first professional to win the modern Grand Slam of golf for a second time. It also was the start of a 13-year run in which Nicklaus would win four PGA Championships, finish runner- up twice and place nine times in the top four. Nicklaus' 1973 Championship victory gave him 14 major Championships, surpassing Bobby Jones' mark set 43 years earlier. Nicklaus tied Hagen for the most PGA Championships in 1980, winning his fifth crown at Oak Hill Country Club by a record seven-stroke margin.
Nicklaus competed in 37 PGA Championships, finishing a record 14 times in the top five, while also posting the best record in the stroke-play portion of the PGA Championship.
After the 1976 PGA Championship, PGA officials abandoned the 18-hole playoff format to become the first major Championship to implement a sudden-death playoff. It was quickly put to the test, with the next three Championships decided in extra holes.
In 1977, Lanny Wadkins defeated Gene Littler on the third playoff hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links. A year later, John Mahaffey rallied from an eight-stroke deficit and defeated Jerry Pate and Tom Watson on the second extra hole at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. In 1979 at Oakland Hills Country Club, Australian David Graham needed three extra holes to defeat Ben Crenshaw.
A New Generation of Champions
Bob Tway's final-hole bunker shot in 1986 at Inverness Club, to win the 1993 PGA Championship, signaled a new generations of Champions and special moments.
Payne Stewart won his first major Championship in 1989 at Kemper Lakes in Hawthorn Woods, Ill. In 1991, rookie John Daly completed a storybook finish at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Ind. Without the benefit of a practice round, Daly, the ninth alternate, didn't get into the Championship until Nick Price withdrew the night before. Daly went on to finish with a 276 total, in a performance that ranks as one of golf's greatest surprise triumphs.
Nick Price returned in 1992 to win at Bellerive Country Club and carried his 1990s dominance with a resounding second PGA Championship title in 1994 at Southern Hills Country Club.
Valhalla Golf Club's first experience in hosting amajor championship came in 1996, and Mark Brooks birdied the 18th hole twice within 45 minutes to win a playoff over Kentuckian Kenny Perry.
Davis Love III turned in a memorable performance at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck,N.Y., finishing with an 11-under-par 269, for the lowest winning total in any major Championship held at the legendary course. Vijay Singh, a native of Fiji, earned his first major title in 1998 at Sahalee Country Club in Redmond, Wash.
Tiger Woods Ushers in a New Era
In 1999, 23-year-old Tiger Woods became the fifth youngest winner in PGA Championship history, when he outlasted Spain's 19-year-old Sergio Garcia by one stroke at Medinah (Ill.) Country Club.
Woods, already a winner of the U.S. Open and British Open during the summer, made the PGA Championship's return to Valhalla Golf Club in 2000 perhaps the most thrilling climax in major Championship history. In the process, Woods became the first back-to-back PGA Champion since Denny Shute in 1936-37.
Woods and journeyman Tour professional Bob May, whose glossy record Woods had emulated as a youth in the Southern California junior ranks, engaged in a stirring final-round duel. After each making 18th hole birdie putts, they entered the first three-hole aggregate score playoff in PGA Championship history. Woods birdied the 16th hole, then saved par on the final two holes to edge May by a stroke.
Unheralded David Toms laid up for par on the 72nd hole in 2001 at The Atlanta Athletic Club, then made a 12-foot winning putt to defeat Phil Mickelson and post a 15-under-par 265, a major Championship record for 72 holes.
Rich Beem's stunning back-nine charge to a 4-under-par 68 elevated him past Tiger Woods to the title in the 85th PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn.
The PGA Championship special moments' tradition continued with Shaun Micheel's 2003 final-hole near-hole out for birdie at Oak Hill Country Club. In 2004, Vijay Singh earned his second PGA Championship, outlasting Justin Leonard and Chris DiMarco in a three-hole cumulative score playoff at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis., the longest layout (7,536 yards) in major Championship history.
In 2005 at steamy Baltusrol Golf Club, Phil Mickelson hit a flop shot from the deep rough on the 18th hole to within two feet and then tapped in for the winning birdie.
Tiger Woods marked his return to Medinah Country Club in grand style in 2006, by capturing in methodical style his third PGA Championship and 12th career major Championship and came back in 2007 at Southern Hills Country Club, winning a fourth PGA Championship during the hottest recorded week of weather in PGA Championship history.
Ireland's Padraig Harrington overcame Garcia in 2008 at rugged Oakland Hills with a strong back-nine rally, including a birdie on the 17th hole and a memorable par-saving putt on 18 to become the first European-born Champion since Scotland's Tommy Armour in 1930.
South Korea's Y.E.Yang stunned the golf world in 2009 at Hazeltine National Golf Club with a solid back-nine, including a chip-in for eagle on the 14th hole and closing birdie at 18 to chase down Tiger Woods and become the first Asian male player to win a major championship.

Keyhole Wrap Front Top is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by CocoR from Versatile and Fun! I bought this shirt in turquoise. It is flowy and flirty-- looks great layered over a camisole if you are more modest or with a sexy bra if you are going out on the town. Definitely a keeper. I am 5'6 with an athletic build and I wear a size small with no issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NiRi from elegant shirt Love this top because it looks classy. I paired the green with black high waisted leggings, black quilted pumps and gold chunky jewelry. It looked amazing! It does seem to run big so go for a size smaller. And the picture doesn't do it justice.

Latest On War Crimes Pre-Trial Maneuvering Of Gunatanamo Prisoners
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — A U.S. military judge is considering broad security rules for the war crimes tribunal of five Guantanamo prisoners charged in 9/11 attacks. Prosecutors have asked the judge at a pretrial hearing starting today to approve what is known as a protective order that is intended to prevent the release of classified information during the eventual trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Some relatives of 9/11 victims will be able to view the proceedings from several U.S. military installations.

Wyclef Jean's name will reportedly be gone from November's ballot in Haiti's presidential election.
The Grammy-winning Fugees star did not satisfy legal requirements to run in the Nov. 28 election, Reuters reported Thursday, citing a member of the provisional electoral council.
"He is not on the list as I speak," the council official told Reuters, with the provisional electoral council set to announce the list of approved candidates on Friday.
The "Gone Till November" singer released a statement late Thursday asserting that "no decisions" had been announced.
"He is concerned about the people of Haiti and the country's future, and is cautiously optimistic about rulings on his candidacy, expected tomorrow," Jean said. "Wyclef Jean puts the needs for health, wellness, and future prosperity of Haiti's citizens first and foremost.
"He will be focused on this tomorrow, and hopes that he'll be accepted as a candidate for President. He looks forward to five productive years of public service to his homeland and the people he loves, and to building bridges to the rest of world, as he leads his country in rebuilding."
Jean was born in Croix-des-Bouquets, outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, but grew up in New York and New Jersey where he went on to co-found hip-hop supergroup The Fugees.
Since the musician announced earlier this month he intended to lead the earthquake-ravaged country as president, his opponents have said they did not believe Jean fulfilled a five consecutive year residency requirement to run for office.
Jean has maintained he is exempt from the rules from having been appointed the country's roving ambassador three years ago.
"We await the [Electoral Commission's] decision but the laws of the Haitian constitution must be respected," Jean told The Associated Press Wednesday in an email in which he also revealed he'd gone into hiding for having received death threats.
On Thursday, Jean met with Haitian president Rene Preval for more than two hours, and described the talks as "positive," the AP reported.
The discussions ranged from Jean's safety to relations with the neighboring Dominican Republic, according to the wire service.

2nd edition Photographs by Lily Mayfield

About the Book
Since 1997, my sister Angela has lived in Pavones, Costa Rica located on the Pacific Ocean. Angela and her husband Marshall own and manage what started as modest but comfortable cabinas and what has become a full-fledged resort. I visit my sister as often as possible and spend much of my time photographing while I am in town. The photographs in this series reflect my interest in this rural surfing community. Pavones is renown amongst pro and amateur surfers for having the world's second longest wave. When the conditions are right, surfers can ride a wave for nearly a mile. Even with its attraction for surfers, Pavones remains a rural community, untouched by the typical chain hotels and restaurants you might expect to find in a tourist-driven Costa Rican town with views of the Pacific Ocean. There are many reasons for its protected state: its location near the southern tip of Costa Rica far from the capitol city of San Jose, the unpaved roads into and through Pavones, and its lack of connection (until recently) with the modern world. Until 2008, there were no phone lines or Internet in Pavones. Since this recent introduction of modern technology, the town has begun changing rapidly. My intention is to create a portrait of Pavones by photographing the residents, the many scenic spaces, and the local businesses. Through my continued visits to the community, I am creating a travelogue of my experiences and a record of this rural surf town.

PORTSMOUTH — A man who allegedly stole a six-pack of beer from a Portsmouth boating company earlier this year, and was then found intoxicated while wearing a Willy Wonka sweatshirt, has been indicted by a grand jury.
PORTSMOUTH — A man who allegedly stole a six-pack of beer from a Portsmouth boating company earlier this year has been indicted by a grand jury.
Timothy Dearborn, 28, is accused of entering the offices of the Gundalow Company on Marcy Street without permission on Sept. 21 and stealing a pack of Smuttynose beer. Dearborn is also charged with burglarizing the Prescott Park Arts Festival building the same day.
A witness reported a break-in at the Gundalow Company at approximately 3:30 a.m. Portsmouth officers then found Dearborn nearby, matching the witness' description, carrying Smuttynose beer, Portsmouth Police Sgt. Rich Webb said earlier this year. Dearborn was taken into custody at 4:30 a.m. and found to be intoxicated, Webb said.
Dearborn allegedly entered the Gundalow Company building through a window. In a message posted to Twitter, the Gundalow Company reported no damage was found on their property following the incident.
Several hours after Dearborn was arrested, the Prescott Park Arts Festival group reported their building had also been vandalized overnight, with signs of forced entry to a portion of the building.
Portsmouth police connected Dearborn to the burglary because at the time of his arrest, Dearborn was found wearing a Willy Wonka sweatshirt. Merchandise for this summer's theater production of "Willy Wonka" was being stored at the building, according to police.
Dearborn was indicted by a Rockingham County grand jury this month on a single charge of theft by unauthorized taking — related to the beer — and two Class B felony burglary charges.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather, it signifies that a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Dearborn's last known address was Crossroads House, a shelter located at 600 Lafayette Road in Portsmouth.
In early August, Dearborn was charged with criminal trespassing by the Rochester Police Department. Later in the month, he was arrested again in Rochester and charged with carrying an open container. His address at that time was recorded as 182 Milton Road, Apt. 2, in Rochester.
He was additionally arrested on July 26 by Rochester police on a bench warrant out of Concord District Court.
Dearborn was previously convicted of misdemeanor shoplifting charges in Plymouth District Court in 2001 and in Franklin District Court in 2002, according to court documents.

Keys to beating Panthers --
Here are my Keys to beating the Panthers --
When Carolina has the ball -- Carolina likes to run the ball and control the clock. Because their defense hasn't allowed many points, their offense hasn't had to score many points. Some how our defense has to limit Stephen Davis and force the Panthers into 3rd and long situations. Jake likes to throw short safe passes and if we can get pressure on Jake he has throw some ill advised passes. The return of Dale Carter should help out greatly. Orlando Ruff starting at MLB could help sure up the middle of the defense. It will be interesting to see if Victor Green can make a difference at safety. So far, Tebucky Jones hasn't made many plays.
When Saints have the ball -- Carolina hasn't been that good against the pass. Their corners aren't that good but have been helped out greatly by a strong pass rush. If the Saints offensive line can give Brooks enough time to throw the ball, he could have a big day. It will be very important that McCarthy calls some screen passes to keep the defense from blitzing on every play. If the Saints are successful at establishing the pass, this should open things up for Deuce McAllister. One thing the Saints CANNOT do is run on first and second down and be left with long 3rd down situations. If the Panthers defense is allowed to pin their ears back and rush the passer, it will be a long day for the Saints offense.
Saints special teams -- Donte' takes over for an injuried Michael Lewis. There will be no loss of speed having Donte returning kicks. I just hope he doesn't get injuried. So far, Donte' hasn't enjoyed as much success at receiver as he did last year. Maybe getting him involved on special teams will get his head more into the game.

Keys to beating Panthers --
Big key is stopping Stephen Davis. Right now I have no idea how this defense might succeed doing that. So they have to force Carolina to play catch-up with an offense that takes chances early. Come out throwing and hope to put points on the board. If the Saints don\'t score at least 10 points in the opening quarter the Panthers will just wear them down.
Sounds a little desperate, but I guess that\'s what they are. They can\'t beat many teams physically so they\'ll have to find another way. The key to this game is the performance of the offense as the defense will not get it done alone. They\'ll have to force Carolina to change their game-plan.
Donte has to keep his eyes on the ball and not on the first man who will hit him. Dropped punts and kick-offs hurt a little more than dropped passes.

Minnesota to New Mexico by Train
Here's another positive side-effect of high gas prices: Amtrak ridership is way, way up. Last year, Amtrak carried 25 million passengers, an 11% increase. This year, it'll probably carry more, and that means good press for the little engine that could.
Last week the San Francisco Chronicle published Catherine Watson's travelogue of her epic train trip from St. Paul to Las Cruces, and yesterday NPR had her on Talk of the Nation fielding comments from listeners. The pro-rail consensus that's building seems to include: (1) forgiveness for delays (which, for the most part, aren't Amtrak's fault), (2) joy over not being subjected to airport hassles, and (3) appreciation of the intangible, but very real benefit of seeing the country from the ground without being stuck behind a steering wheel.
A gentle reminder: Albuquerque is blessed with daily Amtrak service to Chicago and Los Angeles. I've personally been booking a sleeper compartment to L.A. once a year, and it rocks. Four little words: Margaritas in the room.

Woodbourne, Baltimore Maryland
I first learned about Woodbourne from Meg Fairfax Fielding, a blogging friend who writes Pigtown Design. Meg works at Woodbourne and through her, Ben and I were introduced to this wonderful, caring facility. Woodbourne started out in 1798 as an orphanage and it is one of the oldest of its kind in the United States. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, it is today a non-profit organization that cares for children in desperate circumstances. The children at Woodbourne all have lived through some kind of trauma: addicted parents, abuse or neglect, or mental health issues. Many of these children live full time at Woodbourne, where they are given the tools and skills needed in order to one day return to their home or community.
During the holiday season, the faculty makes a video asking the boys what they want for Christmas and what Christmas means to them. Their requests are small and simple: a notebook, a game boy, some candy, a notepad, pens, new shoes, batteries, a cookbook, and on. Some just want to go home for Christmas. Some worry about the other children at Woodbourne, not themselves.
Oh boy. Just watch the video, below, and think about what is on your own Christmas list to compare. I know it made my list seem so frivolous, so wasteful.
Last year, I invited you to watch the video and your response was overwhelming. It was immediate and large. Together, we raised a lot of money for the Christmas Wish List at Woodbourne and it made a huge difference in the children's lives. Their wish lists were actually granted with the help of your donations. Let's try to do the same thing this year. I am hoping that you will watch this year's video. Afterwards, if you have it in your heart, would you please donate to these children so that together we can make their Christmas wishes come true? Any amount is welcomed and appreciated. It's very easy to donate – there's a PayPal link here: http://www.woodbourne.org/makeacontribution. If you don't do Pay Pal, please email Woodbourne directly here: e-mail or telephone at 410.433.1000, ext. 2230.
Your contribution, no matter how large or small, will make a huge difference. Please join Ben and myself in making a difference this year.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Wishing you and yours a safe, happy and healthy Holiday Season.
Joni and Ben Webb

(From the Just Bento Forum [1]:)
Hi Hi Everybody,
Thought I'd share the little spreadsheet version I made of Maki's Weekly Bento Planner (her original here [2]). (Shared with her permission of course.)
Being the geek that I am and the fact that I don't like scanning or looking at my handwriting, I wanted an editable version. I also wanted to be able to save it in a format that we could share as we do the planning assignment for the Going Deeper challenge. It should be fun to see what everyone else is putting in bentos (maybe we can get a few more ideas too)!
I have 2 versions - Google docs version [3]. Please save a version for yourself then edit away. To save a version for yourself - log into your google account, view the spreadsheet, File-> Create a Copy. - Excel Version [4]. To share this version after you fill it out, I'd upload it to Google docs, some other online spreadsheet, or convert to a pdf and upload it somewhere for a link. (To print to a PDF I use PDF Creator - it's free. No affilation.)
(Update 1/13 -It should have occurred to me that images/screenshots of the bento planning sheets would work too. Maki just posted about her firs bento of this challenge and that's what she did. Smart lady!)
Anyway, hope these are of help.

A brief statement regarding the Connecticut tragedy.
As much as I'd like to honor my commitment to write two articles a week, as I sit here tonight, I can only think of the horrible tragedy in Connecticut. There are so many levels to this horrible event, and undoubtedly, there will be a strong political aspect that evolves out of this senseless occurrence. If you're like I am, you can only think of praying, and even that seems a bit hollow. There are two issues, however, that our country needs to look at closely. One of those issues is the seemingly ever increasing occurrence of mental illness. I'm not sure why this is not addressed with more energy and funding, but we are no longer in the dark ages and need to do our best to make some headway so that these sad eruptions of senseless and sickening occurrences diminish rather than increase, as seems to be the case in recent history.
The other issue is the gun laws. I don't think anyone wants to take a hunter's rifle away, but there are certainly weapons out there that are intended just for killing people. This can be changed and should be. Of course there will be people who think that this is the wrong issue to address at this time, but in my view, it's the right time to really have a sensible discussion about what can be done to keep weapons out of the hands of those who are mentally unable to handle the responsibility. I don't know how anyone can argue with that, but I'm convinced that some will.
That's all. There's nothing more to say. I can't write about Christmas cheer tonight, or about the New Year. Nothing else seems important. Instead of reading a long blog segment, take a bit of time to silently consider this horrible problem our society faces.

Linda Thor: Wonderful News - Nov. 7, 2012Dear Colleagues,
Proposition 30's passage and the re-election of our three incumbent trustees are welcome public recognition of the importance of California community colleges. By agreeing to tax themselves for seven years under Proposition 30, a majority of voters reaffirmed their belief in the transformative power of education and the critical importance public higher education holds for California's future.
Before describing the fiscal impact on our district, I want to say how pleased I am that voters have returned Joan Barram, Betsy Bechtel and Laura Casas Frier to our Board of Trustees. With Trustees Pearl Cheng and Bruce Swenson, they will continue to provide the leadership and stability that is essential at a time of great change.
Voter approval of Proposition 30 has spared the district from having to act on our "worst-case" budget scenario. Nonetheless, this will be a difficult year. Instead of having to make $11.9 million in cuts in 2012-13 – our worst-case estimate – we must reduce the district's expenses by "only" about $5.7 million, assuming we meet our enrollment targets. This ongoing structural gap between revenue and spending is the result of three years of state budget cuts and our recent enrollment declines. To be fiscally responsible, the district must take steps to permanently downsize, which includes eliminating positions.
As we celebrate today's election victory, congratulations and heartfelt thanks are due to the students, faculty and staff who gave generously of their time, talent and resources to register voters, inform our communities and get out the vote. I believe these statewide efforts to mobilize students and other new voters across California provided the margin of victory for Proposition 30.
Working together, I know we have the talent and dedication to get through these changes and find new ways of doing our work. Our district is resilient and has weathered fiscal hardship before. As we move forward, please extend your efforts to care for and support each another during this unsettling time.

Losing weight after pregnancy|不限時間玩健康App
Losing weight after pregnancy
Share on facebook Share on twitter Bookmark & Share Printer-friendly version
You should plan to return to your pre-pregnancy weight by 6 months after delivery. Most women lose half of their baby weight by 6 weeks postpartum (after childbirth). The rest usually comes off over the next several months.
A healthy diet with daily exercise will help you shed the pounds.
Take Your Time
Your body needs time to recover from childbirth. If you lose weight too soon after childbirth, it can take longer for you to recover. Give yourself until your 6-week checkup before trying to slim down. If you are breastfeeding, wait until your baby is at least 2 months old before you try to lose weight.
Aim for a weight loss of about a pound and a half a week. You can do this by eating less food, and getting more exercise.
To do this, cut out 500 calories a day from your current diet. Ask your doctor how many calories you need each day.
Do not drop below the minimum number of calories you need.
If you're breastfeeding, you'll want to lose weight slowly. Weight loss that happens too fast can make you produce less milk. Losing about a pound and a half a week won't affect your milk supply or your health.
Breastfeeding makes your body burn calories. It helps you lose weight. If you're patient, you may be surprised at how much weight you lose naturally while breastfeeding.
Eat to Lose Weight
These healthy eating tips will help you lose weight safely.
Don't skip meals.With a new baby, many new moms forget to eat. If you don't eat, you will have less energy -- and it won't help you lose weight.
Eat 5 - 6 small meals a day with healthy snacks in between (rather than three larger meals).
Eat breakfast. Even if you don't normally eat in the mornings, get into the habit of having breakfast. It will give you energy to start your day and help you keep from feeling tired later.
Slow down. When you take your time eating, you'll notice that it's easier to tell that you're full. You'll be less likely to overeat.
Choose low-fat milk and dairy products. Look for low-fat or fat-free dairy products. You don't need to drink whole milk in order to make good breast milk.
When you reach for a snack, choose fruits and vegetables. Foods like apples, oranges, berries, bananas, carrots, and pepper strips are great snack choices. They are low in fat, but high in vitamins and fiber.
Drink 8 or 9 cups of liquids a day. Drinking water helps your body flush out fat as you are losing weight. Limit drinks like sodas, juices and other fluids with sugar and calories. They can add up and keep you from losing weight.
Choose broiled or baked rather than fried foods.
Limit sweets, sugar and fat.
Don't Crash and Burn
Don't go on a crash diets (not eating enough) or a fad diet (popular diets that limit certain types of foods and nutrients). They will probably make you drop pounds at first. But those first few pounds you lose are fluid and will come back.
Other pounds you lose on a crash diet may be muscle instead of fat. You will gain back any fat you lose on a crash diet once you return to normal eating.
Be Realistic
You not be able to return to your exact pre-pregnancy weight or shape. For many women, pregnancy causes changes in the body that stay. You may have a softer belly, wider hips, and a larger waistline. Make your goals about your new body realistic.
A healthy diet combined with regular exercise is the best way to shed the pounds. Exercise will help you lose fat instead of muscle.
Once you're ready to start losing weight, eat a little less and move a little more each day. It may be tempting to push yourself into a hard routine for fast weight loss. But rapid weight loss is not healthy and is hard on your body.
Don't overdo it. Just a quick walk around the block with your baby in the stroller is a great way to add exercise to your daily routine.
