In-state vs. Out-of-state Tuition
Requirements for Bonafide Arkansas State Resident
Students who do not qualify for one of the out-of-state waiver programs (see Part B below) will only be granted in-state tuition if he or she is a bonafide domiciliary of Arkansas and have resided in the state as such for at least six consecutive months prior to the beginning of the term or semester for which tuition/fees are to be paid.
An out-of-state student enrolled for a full or substantially full (more than half-time) program of courses at an educational institution in Arkansas is considered to reside in the state primarily for the purpose of attending school and not for the purpose of establishing in good faith a true, fixed and permanent home constituting an Arkansas domicile.
Continued presence in Arkansas during vacation periods or during a period or periods when not enrolled in an educational institution, where any one such period does not extend for at least six continuous months, shall not justify reclassification to in-state status.
A legal home and place of permanent living in Arkansas. The intention to make this the student's permanent home has been manifested objectively by good faith acts. Mere physical presence alone is insufficient.
Dependent Upon Domicile of Parent or Parents
When a student's status is dependent upon the domicile of his or her parent or parents, the definition above (domicile) shall govern the determination of parental domicile. Neither the mere fact of presence in Arkansas with his or her children while the latter are attending a college or university or some other educational institution in Arkansas, nor the mere ownership of property located in Arkansas is sufficient, but will be considered along with all other pertinent circumstances.
Initial classification as an out-of-state student shall not prejudice the right of that student to be reclassified thereafter for following semesters or terms of enrollment as an in-state student, provided he or she has actually acquired such domiciliary prior to his or her reclassification by a college or university. Similarly, an in-state student shall be reclassified for future semesters and terms where his or her domicile is moved to some other state. Students wishing to petition for reclassification must submit a Residency Affidavit with all required documentation to the Registrar's Office.
Student Responsibility For Accurate Residency Status
The responsibility for registering under a proper classification for tuition/fee charges is placed upon the student; and it is the duty of all students to raise any questions about residency status prior to each registration period.
Armed Services
A person in the armed forces does not gain or lose resident status by merely being in the military.
Out of State Waiver Arkansas Tax Payers in Contiguous State & County
Pursuant to Act 1185 of 1995, Section 34 (A.C.A. 6-60-303 and 19-5-1076) bonafide Arkansas income taxpayers and their dependents who reside in a bordering state in a county or parish contiguous to an Arkansas county in which a public institution of higher education is located may be granted an out-of-state tuition waiver by any Arkansas public institution of higher education.

- Students must live in university-owned housing and purchase a meal plan if applicable based on the policy of the Office of Residence Life.
- Out-of-state waiver recipients must be full-time students and maintain satisfactory academic standing.
Veteran's Choice
- The Federal Veteran's Choice Act permits all students who met the following requirements to be charged in-state tuition or otherwise be considered an Arkansas resident for tuition purposes. In order to obtain this benefit students must first visit the Registrar's Office and be certified for their V.A. benefits.
- A Veteran using educational assistance under either Chapter 30 (Montgomery G.I. Bill – Active Duty Program) or Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 G.I. Bill), of Title 38, United States Code, who lives in the State of Arkansas while attending a school located in the State of Arkansas (regardless of his/her formal State of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of discharge from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more.
- Anyone using transferred Post 9/11 Bill benefits (38 U.S.C. 3319) who lives in the State of Arkansas while attending a school located in the State of Arkansas (regardless of his/her formal State of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of the transferor's discharge from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more.

Mike F. Anderson 12/16/2011 11:25:56 AMThanks everyone for your comments!
Harriet - according to my camera time stamps this was on route 5 going north between Norfork Arkansas and Mountain Home. It was taken about 10 minutes after some shots in Norfork and Norfork to Mountain Home is only about 15 miles, so starting from either point it shouldn't be more than a 10 minute drive. It's right on the main road (on your right if going north). It sits out in a field in the country close to some other rural homes and has a fence around it. It was between 2:50 and 3:00pm when I was there in October of this year and the sun was in a horrible position to where I had to stand to get any decent angle. This would be a great shot earlier or later in the day when the sun wasn't coming right into the lens. But you know how it goes - you have to work with what you have ... :-) I did a lot of post processing to try to "help" the lighting conditions and was kind of surprised to see I got a finalist on this one but happy too. If you happen to have the opportunity to get a few shots of this place, be sure to let me know. I would love to see them. /Mike #9871478

National Landscape Het Groene Woud
727 Views
Go for a bicycle ride or hike in National Landscape Het Groene Woud and discover the beautiful natural landscapes of Brabant. This region, which used to be a Papist enclave in Protestant Holland, boasts many lovely churches and monasteries, as well as plenty of pleasant villages and cities.
- Explore National Landscape Het Groene Woud and enjoy beautiful natural landscapes.
- Visit churches and monasteries and discover the excellent museums in Den Bosch or Eindhoven.
- Kids will have a great time at Safaripark Beekse Bergen or the Efteling.
Discover Het Groene Woud
The Groene Woud National Landscape offers diverse landscapes, and a peek into what the province of North Brabant must have looked like in ancient times. Woods, heathland, streams, grasslands, marshes, sand dunes, fields, farms and hamlets are flanked by Eindhoven, Tilburg and Den Bosch. It's a wild area where you can still experience nature without any human intervention. After a day outside, you can enjoy the warm atmosphere of Brabant in one of the villages of Sint-Oedenrode, Germonde or Oisterwijk.
Cycling or hiking
An extensive network of walking and biking paths allows for both short and long trips through the Groene Woud (the Green Woods). You will immediately notice that many poplar forests grow in the area. These forests were planted in the early 19th century when this type of wood was used for the very profitable clog industry.
Another striking sight in the Groene Woud are the "bolle akkers" (round fields). In order to transform the sands into fruitful fields, they were fertilized with turf centuries ago. The farmers in this area have continued this technique for many years and thus slowly increased the ground level of these plots.
Finally, the area has a Roman Catholic past. Besides farms, mills and houses, you will also find many monasteries, churches and chapels. These cultural monuments are absolutely worth visiting on your tour.
Amusement parks, shopping and good food
The Groene Woud is located in the province of North Brabant, well known as a place for living the good life. In the area around the Groene Woud, you will find many fun things to do for kids, for example, at Safaripark Beekse Bergen and the Efteling theme park. The cities of Den Bosch and Eindhoven invite you for a cultural experience in the Jheronimus Bosch center at the Van Abbe Museum. There is no shortage of good food and drinks in North Brabant. Even the smallest hamlet in this region has a reputation as a place where you can enjoy exceptional local food and beer.
Spend the night nearby
Are you searching for a hip design hotel, a romantic bed & breakfast, or a pleasant holiday home for your family? Oisterwijk has suitable accommodations for every taste and budget. Check out the comprehensive selection and book your perfect holiday here!

The last week has all been about reading and writing a brand-new conference paper which outlines my proposed approach to my research – more on that as I go.
But for today, Mathew Toll, fellow PhD candidate, and a truedude™ who keeps me on my toes, responded to the previous post I made on this blog with style and grace.
He takes note of my aimed approach and argues that my sociological starting-point "sounds a little too vanguardist, as if you should prioritize political ideals over the pursuit of an unclouded understanding."
Good call. I feel like it definitely has to be a balance between the two – political aims and social goals, however it needs to be built on a foundation of empirical evidence and critical thinking. One without the other would render the whole work somewhat impotent to me.
Toll also gets real (i.e. academic), adding:
"The normative idea of a good sociologist I hold is someone who is motivated by a desire to understand the social and cultural formations and unravel the infinity of threads that inform our current situation. I'm not naïve enough to imagine that social scientists maintain a perfectly disinterested search for truth and aren't, at least sub-consciously, guided by extra-scientific and normative considerations… I believe that objectivity and progression within an intellectual discipline is not achieved by individual participants crafting a view from nowhere, but a relative objectivity is achieved through mutual criticism and a desire to kick the ball forward and put together a better understanding of an object of study."
He's right here. Through mutual criticism/peer review, the continued push for greater social analysis, and perhaps even more importantly, the process of creating 'public sociology' – whereby those outside of academia can use the theories and outcomes of our research to improve their understanding of the world and their lives more generally – Toll brings out that great quest of sociology: the quest to understand the present social fabric, or "an attempt to understand the time [you] live in" (Camus, 2000, vii) ultimately for its improvement to take place.
Thanks to Mat for being as bigger nerd as I. Check out Mat's writing at http://dostoevskiansmiles.blogspot.com.au/ and see how a real blog is done.

I'm not sure if it's a different or newer version of the product, but I'm using Nailtek Hydration Therapy IV (instead of II). Either way, fantastic product. My nails are prone to breakage or peeling because they're thin and dry, and this has prevented all of that! I'm always wearing this product alone or as the first base coat under a color. I like the bottle, it's bigger than a regular nail polish bottle and it's easy to pick out of my collection since it's taller and has curves.

This is nothing special. Better than nothing but I will not repurchase as I believe that OPI's Nail Envy is much better. I will finish the bottle though.

SO FAR this stuff is phenomenal. My nails are very dry, thin and peel like no one's business. They grow fast but I never have long nails because they either peel and thin or get nicked and break. Constantly.
I tried OPI's Nail Envy and the thing I noticed with it is that it peeled off almost instantly. For the 4 hours it stayed on my nails, they were strong. But when they got wet or I touched anything--it peeled off. What good is it going to do me if it just peels off?
This is sticking to my nails. I still apply it every other day and I notice very little chipping at the ends. My nails are growing--not breaking and they feel stronger. I've only been using this a week but I'm surprised at the difference.
I haven't used this with nail polish yet, I am going to attempt that next.
So far it's working. Well. My nails aren't peeling (you can still see the spots where they started peeling before NT HII but it seems to have sealed them for now) and they're growing pretty fast. Perhaps if I keep it going, get to the point where the peels can be cut off it will STOP any new peeling and maybe I really will have nice nails for once in my life. *crosses fingers*
I will update after a few weeks but so far--this stuff is GREAT.
The only downfall? The price. $16 for me is pretty pricey. I never get my nails done, I buy cheap Sally Hansen and Revlon nail polish because that's all I can afford and I'm on a tight budget. BUT if it keeps on working, it will be well worth it.
The only other downfall: I didn't notice there was 'formaldehyde' when I bought it, when I found out I was a little off-put. Isn't that supposed to be bad? Right now, I don't care even if it is! Just use in a well ventilated space. Perhaps that's why it works, I don't really know.
I highly suggest giving this stuff a shot, if you have tried EVERYTHING else and nothing has worked. <3

I tried this after using Naitiques 3, which thickened up fast and peeled off my nails then I went to Nailtiques 2 which peeled of my nails, This Nailtek Hydration II has formaldehyde in it to strengthen nails and products to hydrate nails as the formaldehyde dries nails out. I really like this product, it seems to stay on longer than the Nailtiques and is less expensive.

Good base coat. Did not make an incredible difference for my peeling. did well at preventing stains. Dries slightly opaque, so it needs a polish of some sort over it.

I bought this thinking it was the Foundation II Ridge Filling. I thought maybe they had changed the formula and made it shiny instead of that matte finish, which I would have liked, but it's not the same and doesn't work near as well on my nails. It also starts peeling off by the second day. They both say they're for soft, peeling nails, but my nails have definitely gotten weaker. I'm going to buy more of the Foundation II Ridge Filling.

I LOVE this stuff! My nails are pretty healthy to begin with, I had a minor issue with peeling some time back, so I used this as a basecoat for a while,but since peeling was not a big problem for me, I sorta forgot about this product. Later I read a review that recommended using this as a topcoat. Well, I have been on the lookout for a good topcoat for a long time. I have used almost everything out there and my manicures hardly ever last over 2-3 days without chipping, even when I get them professionally done. Since I already had this on hand,I decided to try this out as a topcoat. Well, it is an absolute miracle, but it has kept my manicure intact with no chips for days! I would have never thought to use this as a top coat so I just wanted to contribute my review to say this is not only for problem nails, but a great solution for chips.

This may be the only nail treatment I've found that actually helps my nails grow! I have thin, easily peeled nails which have a horrid time growing on their own right. If I include this in my daily (or eventually every other day) regiment, my nails look great. It's just remembering to use it - that's the trick!

Pon Di Wire: Reggae Awards, Killer Get Rude, Chart Flashbacks
Don't get on the wrong side of Bounty Killer (pictured above). Otherwise, you might get boxed down and receive a Hennessy bath. At least that's what happened to Killer's one-time recording partner Harry Toddler, who had a run in with the famous Seaview Gardens DJ. "Killa buss off mi chain and wet me up wid liquor, and [Elephant Man] and him friends, dem start hold on pon me and say me fi easy, because him caan tek the embarrassment, and ting," said Toddler. Ironically, Toddler's latest single, "Don't Run In," is currently racing up the charts.
Rasta singjay Lutan Fyah may have taken his name a little too literally. The popular performer, who has been riding the reggae charts in Jamaica with hits like "Save The Juveniles" and "St. Jago," is under investigation for arson. Members of Fyah's crew allegedly torched the houses of men who heckled Lutan at a stage show.
Hot 102's Richie B hosted the first annual Excellence In Music and Entertainment (EME) awards. Some of the winners included Lutan Fyah (Cultural Artist of the Year), Cham (Most Uplifting Lyrics), Junior Reid (Top International Artist), and Anthony B (Biggest Comeback). 2008 is also a first for Jamaica, with the EME's and the upcoming Reggae Academy Awards being the nation's first two domestically produced events honoring reggae.
Bounty Killer, Mavado, and Tarrus Riley all performed at a half-time concert during a friendly soccer match between Jamaica's Reggae Boyz and Costa Rica. The Boyz were ultimately unsuccessful, falling to Costa Rica 0-1, after an 80th-minute goal from Costa Rica's Victor Nunez.
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands reggae star Pressure Buss Pipe (or simply Pressure, to most fans) will debut a new video from his recently release Love & Affection album. The video for the Don Corleon-produced "So Appealing" will be shot this week in New York.
Several excellent artist profiles appeared in the reggae press last week. Singer Cherine Anderson, one of reggae's most promising new female artists, is a Sly & Robbie protégé who has racked up recent appearances on singles and videos. Ms. Anderson will be on tour this spring and summer with Sly & Robbie's Taxi band showcase. Elsewhere, Tarrus Riley, who many reggae fans regard as 2007's best new artist, ">shared his views on his career, women, technology, and the music industry.
Bunny Wailer's daughter, Ngeri Livingston, who now records as Sensi Love, was the surprise musical guest Wednesday, February 6 at the 16th Bob Marley Bash in Negril, Jamaica. The Atlanta-based Livingston has kept her music career a secret from the public, and her famous father, until now.
Early bird tickets for Northern California's Reggae Rising concert are available now. The outdoor show takes place August 1-3 in Piercy (Humbolt County), CA, and will feature UB40, Junior Reid with Andrew & Wada Blood, Don Carlos, Gentleman, Tanya Stephens, Black Uhuru (special set featuring Don Carlos and Junior Reid with Sly & Robbie), and more to be announced.
Dutch website Reggae Vibes has a unique reggae time machine. Go to the Charts tab and click Revive Top 10, for a peak back at the U.K.-based magazine Echoes' Top 10 albums from 30 years ago.

A great suggestion
A wise friend writes:
it's a pleasure to be sitting down and writing to you all again. it seems clear to every newspaper reading person i know that we are living in dark days. i'm always trying to explain why i'm so interested in all-ages music. i know that that music brings people together and any time we gather to sing and dance with each other inspiring things happen. spirits are rejuvenated, a feeling of community is created, hearts are filled with a sense of life's possibilities and, of course, everyone has fun. tired of the divisive political climate? break into song at the drop of a hat! now's a good time.

handmade gifts- day 4
I made a vinyl zippy (using the instructions from the oh-so-awesome Denyse Schmidt Quilts):
And a denim quilted zippy:
I've been trying to use up some home decor fabric too, and they work great because I don't have to use interfacing!
There are dozens of great tutorials on making zippered pouches out there. When I made my first zippered pouch, I used this tutorial. My secret for avoiding broken needles and a lot of frustration is to allow plenty of extra fabric on either side of my zipper opening. So for my 7" zippers and quilting weight fabric (with a lightweight interfacing fused on), I'll cut my fabric to be 8" wide and do a 1/4" seam allowance. When I do a pouch that has fusible fleece or batting as the interfacing, I cut the pieces to be 8.5" wide and do a 1/2" seam allowance. This keeps me from accidently sewing over the metal end pieces.
Check back next week for more gifts! I have to be selective now about what I show since some friends and family are reading, but I think I can give some sneak peeks. And I'm still working on those men's gifts. In the spirit of making things easy this Christmas, I might have to give up on them. A hint and a tip for one of the things I'm trying to do-- do NOT google "beer koozie tutorials" or you will discover that it brings the motherload of virus-laden results. Trust me. Don't do it.

Those pouches are all fantastic! I think your tips for zippers are good too. I will make sure to do that next time because it is always a frustration for me. I am laughing so hard at the beer koozie tutorial bit.

- Poppyprint said...
Awesome. But what I want to know is how your vinyl one is so nice at the ends of the zipper - you didn't get that diagonal foldy edge at all! More detailed photos for that part, please, because that is my biggest complaint with making zippy pouches. I cannot figure out how to deal with that seam allowance/zipper tape bulk and make the ends look nice. Also, since I've got you here, what type of needle & thread did you use to sew through the vinyl?
- December 3, 2010 at 2:56 PM
- Dani said...
That's the same tutorial I used (and still refer to)! It's really good. And I agree about leaving extra room.
Zip pouches have been a favorite go-to gift for a while now...so much so that I've worn them out a bit.
Yours are rad.

I agree with poppyprint - I can't seem to get the ends of my zippers to look nearly as nice as I'd like. I have not clue why. lol.

i really like the contrast of the stitching and zipper to the denim!!!

Ask chefs around New Orleans about 2013, and most will agree it was a good year for our city. The dining scene grew with both more and a greater variety of restaurants. Young, talented cooks were given chances to prove themselves. And our city's diners supported the restaurants — both old and new.
"I like the way this past year has gone for New Orleans," said chef Ryan Hughes, who, this summer, plans to open the Southern restaurant Purloo inside the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. "As chefs, we're teachers. What you see coming out of the restaurants is what disseminates out to homes and to the grocery store shelves. I think we're going in the right direction."
Ask chefs what they expect to see in 2014, and the answers vary widely. The 10 we interviewed agree, however, that the new year is shaping up to be another stellar year of good dining.
Treo (open late January)
3835 Tulane Ave., New Orleans
I'd like to see more chefs working with more new cuisines. Along with that, hopefully we'll see a continued renaissance of the native cuisine. Sometimes as chefs there is a tendency to diminish étouffée or red beans and rice or gumbo. It's almost like they're kitschy. I think the beauty of New Orleans is that it has a native palate to draw upon, which isn't something you can say of a lot of other places in the country.
There is room for everybody. It's all about the execution. I hope to see guys working at a high level and taking a lot of pride.
Maurepas Foods
3200 Burgundy St., New Orleans, 504.267.0072
We've been getting so much better ethnic food in this town, and of course I'd love to see more of that. An awesome Indian restaurant in the city, that kind of stuff.
I really like how a lot of the international food has been folded into conventional restaurants, whether it's a Lucky Rooster or a Noodle & Pie or even places like us where we're using these sorts things as native elements. I'd like to see that trickle down.
We've gotten used to getting a giant bowl of pho for six bucks and I think a lot of people running really great restaurants would be making a better living (if) we get comfortable paying a little more for it. I'd like to hope that we've had a role in getting people comfortable to paying what food is worth, because the guys on the taco truck deserve to make some money, too.
Sainte Marie
930 Poydras St., New Orleans, 504.304.6988
I'd love to see a continued support of local, sustainable agriculture and fishing, in particular. I'd like to see more focus on cooking with whole grains and vegetables.
I'd also love for chefs — myself, very much included — to be a little bit more supportive of the special diets that diners have. Finding inspiration when "limits" are applied can be very rewarding.
GW Fins
808 Bienville St., New Orleans, 504.581.3467
From a selfish standpoint, I'd like to see more breakfast places that I can walk to in the French Quarter. I like Stanley, but I don't always want to eat there. Some place like Cake Café, which isn't really that far. But the longer I live in the Quarter, the less I want to walk or bicycle outside of it.
Restaurants all over the country have gotten incredibly better in the last 30 years. In America, we're making good beer now. We're making good cheese. We're making good sausage. We're seeing all of that in New Orleans.
What I'd like to see are fishermen who take better care of their catch getting better compensated for it. We've got such an incredible resource close by. There are a lot of us that would pay more for fish that was handled better. It's hard to get people to change. It's got to be a dollar thing.
MoPho (opens Jan. 11)
514 City Park Ave., New Orleans
I'm excited about all the small, locally owned restaurants that are opening. We should make sure that we're focusing on more than just having our own little business, but giving back to the community and being responsible in hiring locals and working with local farms.
I want us to all drive each other. We're all really close friends and that'sa great dynamic. It's a friendly push to bring the food level up in the city. Not just to expand it, but to keep it dynamic.
4508 Freret St., New Orleans, 504.324.1636
La Boca
857 Fulton St., New Orleans, 504.525.8205
A trend that we see that's great is young chefs coming up, going on their own and going into neighborhoods that aren't as populated with restaurants. It extends what we do downtown in the high-ticket restaurants. They're coming in a lot more casual and personal.
Freret [Street] is a great example of that and what's happened in the Marigny in the last year. You're starting to see people coming into Mid-City. That's key for the business to make food accessible for everyone.
Purloo at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum (opening summer 2014)
1609 Oretha C. Haley Blvd., New Orleans
In 2014 in New Orleans, we'll see more getting away from New Orleans-style cuisine and getting more into Southern regionalism, which I think is huge. Southern regionalism is the hot food trend in the United States.
I think we're going to see a lot more restaurants closing down in the next year. The piece of the pie is only so big. The bubble has got to burst. Quite frankly a lot of decent, neighborhood restaurants can't make it anymore. They can't when you go down the street and the next new chef is opening another place and competing with reasonably priced dishes.
Criollo at the Monteleone Hotel
214 Royal St., New Orleans, 504.681.4444
You'll see a strong showing of gastropubs in the next year, the same way we had this hamburger revolution about three years after the hamburger revolution started happening in the rest of the country.
They will be these little unique, 35-seat restaurants with the chefs behind what looks like a bar, serving a little beer and wine, but doing food right in front of you. We have the demographics for it with a lot of young people here who are adventurous.
Peche Seafood Grill
800 Magazine St., New Orleans, 504.522.1744
It would be interesting to see the high-end trained chefs really putting their talents behind different ethnic foods, particularly Mexican. I keep thinking of what (Michael) Gulotta is doing at MoPho (a Louisiana chef's take on Southeast Asian cuisine) and thinking that New Orleans could really benefit from a restaurant like that geared towards Mexican food.
I think it's going to happen. It is inevitable. For years, Mexican food had to fight the stigma that it was only cheap food, only burritos and tacos and that sort of thing. There is a tremendous amount more to it than that.
600 Poland Ave., New Orleans, 504.948.9111
I'd like to see more restaurants that are just one thing. Not a New Orleans take on a French bistro or a New Orleans take on Japanese ramen. I'd like to see a traditional French bistro or ramen.
I'm kind of excited to see what is happening in Central City. And I'm also excited to see what happens with the St. Roch Market. It's hard to have affordable, responsibly raised produce. If that could happen, that would be great.
New Orleans is going through such a change right now. It's a crux between the new New Orleans and the older New Orleans. So I guess I'm looking forward to how all that plays out in 2014.

Why does the iMac not boot sometimes.
My iMac started to have a problem booting it begins to boot where you hear the optical drive and Mac sound goes off. But then it stuck on a black screen where it's not responsive. If you wait maybe 10 to 20 mints it might turn. Most of the time if I unplug the back power cable and wait for the Mac to cool down than plug it in it starts normally. If I restart the computer it back to the same problems discussed earlier. Over all the Mac works well when it's on.
One more thing the Mac also sometimes when booting give me many white and black lines and dots moving all over the screen and the apple log with the curser near the right side of the screen loading instead of being in the middle. And if you put the Mac to sleep it turns on with a blue screen also not responsive
Does any one know what it might be
The system has 3gb ram running osx 10.9
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

It was a weekend of big scores, with one century of points and three 50s in the eight encounters as the top teams start their push for the playoffs.
The previous record, a 153-point win, was held by Lowveld with their 163-10 victory over Transkei in 1994. The Steval Pumas' 154 points is the second most ever scored in South Africa, and surpassed DHL Western Province's 151-3 win over the Valke (then still called Eastern Transvaal) in 1995.
Former Springbok Sevens flyer Danwel Demas scored four of the ruthless Steval Pumas' 22 tries. They lead 70-0 at half-time. Jaco Bouwer and JW Bell scored three tries each, while the home team's two flyhalves, Carl Bezuidenhout and Coenie van Wyk, converted 11 each.
This North Section win secured the Steval Pumas a place in the quarter-finals and the smart money has to be on them to qualify for home field advantage in the playoff.
The Sharks XV, the only other unbeaten team in the Vodacom Cup, needs one log point in the South Section to secure a playoff spot, with only two league matches remaining before the quarter-finals.
The KwaZulu-Natalians secured a comfortable 54-24 win over the Regent Boland Cavaliers in Durban on Friday afternoon, with Brynard Stander bagging two tries and Fred Zeilinga moving to 100 season points thanks to a personal haul of 24 points with the boot.
Also in the South Section, EP Kings wingers Yamkela Ngam and Siyanda Grey both bagged two tries as they beat the SWD Eagles by 52-10 at the NMMU Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Friday. The hosts ran in seven tries against their Southern Kings franchise partners.
DHL Western Province, the defending champions, fought back in the second half of their match against 2011 champions, the ICBC Pampas XV, at DHL Newlands. Early in the second half, the Argentineans lead by 17-5, but the Capetonians never gave up and ended up winning by 28-17 after scoring 23 unanswered points in the last 35 minutes.
The Toyota Free State XV scored four tries – two of them by their captain. Tertius Daniller, as they won only their second match of the season by beating a gallant Border Bulldogs side by 26-25 in a thrilling match at the University of Fort Hare in Alice on Saturday.
In the North Section, the Vodacom Blue Bulls were far too good for the Valke as they clinched a 74-14 win at Hugenote High School on Saturday afternoon. The three-time champions scored 12 tries, with Sampie Mastriet bagging four and three players – Courtnall Skosan, Travis Ismail and former SA Under-20 captain Wiaan Liebenberg – scoring two tries each.
Mastriet (left wing) got his first three tries within the first 25 minutes and scored his fourth early in the second half during this one-sided match.
On Friday afternoon, the MTN Golden Lions resurrected their hopes of a playoff place thanks to a hard-fought 24-11 victory over GWK Griquas at the UJ Stadium in Johannesburg.
It was the MTN Golden Lions' second win of the season and a very vital victory, as it kept them in the hunt for a quarter-final berth.
The Leopards XV remained in second position on the North Section log with a good 27-7 win over the Down Touch Griffons in Potchefstroom on Friday afternoon. Winger Danie Dames scored two tries, but an electrical storm saw play suspended for 33 minutes early in the match.

Being one of the coldest regions in the world, Helsinki attracts more tourists during the summer season, when parks are decorated with blossoming flowers and the warm sun welcomes people out in the open. This season starts mid June and goes on till mid August. The beaches in Helsinki offer a variety of activities and water sport games that you just can't miss! The weather is pleasant and flocks of people are seen around every corner enjoying the sunlit day and the peaceful breezy ocean nights.
If summer is not the season for you, then Helsinki is also an attractive holiday destination during spring. Most activities and tourist places accommodate tourists at this time of the year too.
If you plan on visiting during winter months you have to keep in mind that you will get only a few hours of daylight to complete the list of sights to see on your itinerary.

The two knit patterns and book were part of a bundle that Colette made available for pre-order at a discount last week. Colette didn't release any line drawings or other details about the pattern and only released a teaser first chapter of the book. I've seen some comments online that seem irritated with this strategy, but I figured that the new patterns pretty much had to be designs that would work for most women to use this pre-order strategy. These patterns are also the first to include Colette's expansion into the true plus size range.
I was excited about the book because I actually don't own a reference book for sewing knits, even though I sew them all the time. I liked the fact that the book covered serger and coverstitch use, too--two areas where I'm entirely self-taught (by internet and machine manual), and I thought that I would probably learn some nice, new techniques for my machines from the book.
I don't want to be one of Those People who posts spoilers on the internet for things, but if you're dying of a curiosity, I will share a few details about the new patterns:
- The knit patterns are sized from XS-3XL, going from a 33" bust to a 54" bust, so it's pretty inclusive and goes pretty far into the plus size range. I'm posting the size chart so that you can see where you fall into this range:
|Size chart Colette knit patterns
- The two new patterns are a skirt (Mabel) and a dress (Moneta).
- Both the skirt and dress include three different views, although two of the dress views are very similar.
- Both the skirt and dress are fairly classic designs that should look good on a variety of shapes and sizes.
- The dress pattern is slightly reminiscent (to me) of another indie knit dress pattern that's currently very popular in the sewing blogosphere.
- The skirt is about as classic as you can get. Two of the views skew a little more youthful, but the third view is one of those that I think looks good on just about every woman.
- The pattern envelope says that the skirt can be made in an hour. I'd suspect that this is true for an experienced sewist making the easiest view.
- I'm not sure if this was a packaging error, but my pattern had duplicate pattern tissue for the piece that included two of the views.
For another project, I had already pre-washed (and cut into) a length of black ponte knit that I thought would be perfect for the Mabel skirt. I cut the pattern tissue and fabric on Sunday, then before work this morning, I constructed the body of the skirt. Here's a sneak peak that doesn't really give too much away:
|Mabel skirt in progress
On a side note, after seeing a few mentions elsewhere online that others had received their patterns early, the cynic in me had to wonder if this was deliberate viral marketing, and not just super efficient shipping by our USPS. Granted, I work in an industry where leaving a prototype iPhone in a bar has set the bar for viral marketing. In any case, I suspect that most people who are big enough Colette fans to have pre-ordered the patterns will be happy with them; they're classic designs but true to the Colette aesthetic and should be flattering on most figures.

While I got a few things done the week between Christmas and New Year's, it wasn't the all-projects-all-the-time push that I had kind of been hoping for. What I did do was catch up on sleep. Ordinarily I see-saw between my night-person inclinations and my morning-centric job, and wind up seriously slort of sheep a lot of the time. A week at home, and I was actually full up. Rested. And while I would certainly have liked more vacation, I found that I wasn't quite as grumpy rolling out of bed at oh-dark-hundred as before. What a difference!
Among the things that did get done, and actually, the first FO of 2010--the extraneous sweater:
And the neck detail shot (which also shows off the yarn a little better):
This is a top down raglan, seamless, made using the Incredible Custom Fit Raglan pattern. (Note to self- the raglan dimensions on the pattern chart are seriously scrod. Next time stop the raglan increases when you reach the chest diameter. Or at least at some point before it would make a cozy for a cement mixer, necessitating lots of ripping back.) The fluffy yarn didn't lend itself to a lot of texturing, so it's quite a plain sweater, but I thought the yarn was just so pretty knit up that it didn't need a lot of ornamentation.
The yarn was a gift from a friend of my mother's, who has very kindly destashed quite a lot of yarn in my direction over the last year. My mom confessed to a grave temptation to keep it, despite not really wanting to knit a sweater. Hey, I can take a hint! I promptly decided that I'd really like to knit the yarn into a sweater for her--for Christmas. There was only one teensy little issue. I got the yarn at the end of October.
Now my Christmas knitting list was really quite modest, well thought-out and under control. Until I added the sweater. And decided to write a novel draft in November. Not even big needles could save me, I just plumb ran out of time. And the time I spent on the sweater was directly responsible for the last minute sock-and-mitt drama that had me knitting right down to the wire and beyond.
However, all that is now behind me. And I can return to my sorely neglected green Aran sweater...with maybe one or two teensy little side projects. After all, mitts hardly count:
Ladies Cable Cuff Mitts, from Dark Horse Fantasy and FO #2 of 2010
The sweater I just cast on for my sister, on the other hand....well, faint heart ne'er knit a lot of sweaters.

Deal of the Week: Memory centers coming
Caddis Partners is building assisted living and memory care communities in Cypress and Clear Lake as it rolls out its Heartis brand across Texas.
"We're looking for markets that we feel are currently underserved and trying to fill that need," said Matt Mattox, executive vice president/partner for Caddis Partners, a health care real estate firm based in Dallas. "The biggest need was in our own backyard, being Texas."
Each property will contain 63,000 square feet consisting of 78 units with 54 dedicated to assisted living and 24 for memory care. The communities will feature a Main Street concept with various storefronts and activities designed to create a familiar environment to aid with memory care. Residents will find things such as an old-time cream parlor, art studio, auto repair garage, movie theater and planting nursery along the streetscape.
Good Neighbor Care will manage the facilities, which are planned to open early next year.
More Information
Seniors housing market
Units under construction in the Houston area by type in the fourth quarter of 2013:
Independent living: 510 (7,812 existing units)
Assisted living: 499 (4,484 existing units)
Memory care: 541 (1,989 existing units)
Source: National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing and Care Industry
Construction is underway at 17935 Longenbaugh Road west of Barker Cypress in Cypress. Groundbreaking of the community at 14550 Texas 3 south of Clear Lake City Boulevard is expected in the next few weeks.
Austin-based architecture firm Katus designed the communities, and Mapp Construction is the general contractor.
Caddis Partners, which also develops and acquires medical office buildings and hospitals, recently opened its first Heartis memory care community in Conroe. It is developing projects in Cleburne, Fort Worth and Amarillo as part of a goal of opening 10 to 12 communities during the next 18 months.
Memory care has been the fastest growing segment of the seniors housing market in the Houston area, with an 18 percent rise in the number of units in 2013, according to the National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing and Care Industry. The number of assisted living units rose by 6 percent over the previous year.
Another Texas company, Avanti Senior Living of The Woodlands, is also introducing a new brand of assisted living and memory care communities across Texas.
The company has purchased land in Cypress and Shenandoah for its first two developments in the Houston area and has tapped real estate firm Cypressbrook Co. to provide brokerage services and development management services.
Each community will contain 76,000 square feet with 90 units with assisted living and memory care. Amenities will include a salon and spa, nail bar, multiple dining options and an activity center.
Avanti Senior Living will own and operate each community. The company's founders, Tim Hekker and Lori Alford, previously developed 32 Hearthstone assisted living projects in 10 states.
Construction work on the first community, Towne Lake at 17808 Lakecrest View Drive in Cypress, is targeted to begin in April or May, with completion scheduled for next summer. The Vision Park community will follow, opening at 9446 Vision Park Drive in Shenandoah in the fall of 2015.
The firm has sites under contract in Flower Mound and Southlake and is working on buying a site in San Antonio. Cypressbrook's Joyce Sterling, broker, and Jeff Presnal, development principal, are working on the assignment. Avanti Senior Living plans to open six communities in the next two years.

My Journey out of Islamist Extremism
Buy 18.95
Book Description
Maajid Nawaz spent his teenage years listening to American hip-hop and learning about the radical Islamist movement spreading throughout Europe and Asia in the 1980s and 90s. At 16, he was already a ranking member in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a London-based Islamist group. He quickly rose through the ranks to become a top recruiter, a charismatic spokesman for the cause of uniting Islam's political power across the world. Nawaz was setting up satellite groups in Pakistan, Denmark, and Egypt when he was rounded up in the aftermath of 9/11 along with many other radical Muslims.
He was sent to an Egyptian prison where he was, fortuitously, jailed along with the assassins of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The 20 years in prison had changed the assassins' views on Islam and violence; Maajid went into prison preaching to them about the Islamist cause, but the lessons ended up going the other way. He came out of prison four years later completely changed, convinced that his entire belief system had been wrong, and determined to do something about it.
He met with activists and heads of state, built a network, and started a foundation, Quilliam, funded by the British government, to combat the rising Islamist tide in Europe and elsewhere, using his intimate knowledge of recruitment tactics in order to reverse extremism and persuade Muslims that the 'narrative' used to recruit them (that the West is evil and the cause of all of Muslim suffering), is false.
first published in the UK, is a fascinating and important look into one man's journey out of extremism and into something else entirely.
This U.S. edition contains a "Preface for US readers" and a new, updated epilogue.
About Nawaz, Maajid

Antique Oak Wood Vinyl Top - Basement Flooring (Grouted Edge)
If you are looking for a basement flooring solution that looks great and is easy to install, then look no further. ModuTile's Antique Oak Wood Vinyl Top Interlocking Basement Floor Tiles are easy to install and have a beautiful finished look. Designed as a floating floor, you simply interlock them together with a 4 loop-to-peg system directly over the basement concrete. When the tile squares are interlocked together, they form a large and beautiful floor area. You can install these basement tiles over chipped or uneven concrete. They can be installed over any flat surface, including carpet, vinyl or concrete. These tiles are very durable, so they will be able to withstand the weight of furniture or equipment that is placed on top. They also provide a comfortable surface for walking.
In order to prevent mold, the tiles are designed with a grid under the tiles to allow air circulation. They are made from a high-impact polypropylene base and have a durable vinyl composite surface. This material is water resistant (non-porous) to prevent mold growth. An added benefit to the construction is that it will make your basement more energy efficient. The grid under the tiles will create a thermal barrier effect. The top surface of the basement floor tiles will tend to be about 8 to 10 degrees warmer than the basement floor concrete underneath.
Your next basement-flooring project can be installed quickly and effortlessly. Buy them today! Just add them to the cart and proceed to the checkout page. Feel free to browse ModuTile Basement Flooring - section to view our other interlocking tiles suitable for a basement flooring option. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to call us at 713-663-6060.

We have seen traditional hoardings, banners, billboards, newspaper advertisements, magazine ads, leaflets or pamphlets for years. How effective have these been if compared to the amount of investment? The study shows effective measurement in above cases is very cumbersome and probably practically impossible. There are many reasons for that. First and foremost is the wastage. If you see there is more than 50% wastage in the newspaper, pamphlets, and magazine advertisements. It goes much higher to a value of almost 70% or more in the case of its sibling process of advertising like Hoarding, Banners, and Digital Displays. That is where PLATOMAR (short form of Place to Market) has come out with a unique and innovative way of OOH (Out of Home) Advertising. The costs involved in this newly introduced process is much lower than in all other means of advertising mentioned above. And on top of it, the new way has a lot more positives.
The primary medium of advertising by PLATOMAR is paper cups and paper bags. This technique provides longer exposure time (almost as much as 8-10 minutes). The guaranteed exposure leads to higher brand recall as compared to all other means of advertising. This is also ensured through the company's efficient distribution strategy. The costs involved are much lower, as low as 70% if compared to other ad campaigns. It results in wider but effective coverage as it focuses on specific SEC targeting thus ensuring effective and focused brand reach. The process enabled by near to real-time distribution helps in updating analytics in an effective manner on the portal for each campaign. It helps an advertiser to understand the extent of reach and effectiveness.
Overall, it seems to be quite an innovative way of OOH from PLATOMAR.

A dialysis patient presented with pedal edema. As a screen for hyperkalemia, an ECG was recorded:
|QRS duration is 183 ms. What do you think?
A previous ECG was immediately found at a time when the K was 6.1 mEq/L:
|QRS duration is 167 ms, but a previous ECG with a normal K had a QRS of 184 ms.
What do you think?
This shows how subtle hyperkalemia can be, and yet still be diagnostic.
See the two side-by-side here:
Previous, with K 6.0 mEq/L This Visit
|Notice how the ST segment is flatter on the right than on the left (see especially lead V4). Such a flat ST segment is part of what makes the T-wave peaked, as the rise of the T-wave from a flat ST segment is very steep.
My previous post showed the failure to recognize such a subtle sign of hyperkalemia and the subsequent v fib arrest.
In RBBB, a QRS duration greater than 175 ms should make you strongly suspect hyperK (see this link!). In this case, in the past, there actually had been such a long QRS in the presence of a normal K, so this case was an exception.
The patient's K was 7.1 mEq/L.

There is a difficulty as to the manner of approaching
Arista but that I think can be obviated by the employ-
ment of John N. Seguin for that service, he is at present
in bad odour among the Texians from which circum-
stance he could frame a good pretext for crossing
the Rio Grande and asking an audience of Arista.
Whether or not Seguin would accept of such a mission
I cannot say, but I should think it would give him
an opportunity to retrieve his former standing that
he would gladly embrace, for if he be successful
it would redound to his credit in an eminent
degree and establish his loyalty to Texas and if he
be not successful he would be in none the worse condi-
tion. Yourself are better acquainted than I of his fitness
for such a mission.
I have understood that your Lady has been
afflicted with ill health. Be pleased to present her
my kind regards and my sincere wishes for her
speedy recovery.

Chances are, if you are reading this blog- you love Disney too. You might be a fan of Disney past, thinking about a theme park visit, or love the movies.
The Disney theme parks- Disneyland and Walt Disney World- are two of the premier vacation spots in the entire world!
Think about that. It's unbelievable the traffic that these two parks see. It's a hodgepodge of people that visit- people from different states, different tax brackets, different countries.
Why do these people pick Disney theme parks- and why do many of them choose to return?
I want to touch on one specific reason. And it's one of the reasons I love Disney so.
It's Disney's attention to detail. It's unparalleled.
I'm one of those people who is always thinking when I go someplace, "What could they have done better?" You won't have many answers to that question in a Disney theme park. The thought process the Imagineers must go through... They see to every detail, and think about it from every angle.
Take the new Art of Animation hotel. I ran across a great article in the NY Daily News (if you're thinking about visiting Walt Disney World, take a second to read it).
Here's a piece from that article-
While I loved the new attractions, it was not so much the rides that captured my heart but the great attention that was given to details by Disney Imagineers — from the moment the magical mirror inside Maurice's Cottage takes guests into Beast's castle for story time with Belle, to dining in front of a window where snow softly falls.
The napkins are folded like red roses, the master of the house welcomes guests in his study and knights in shining armor whisper in the halls.
I stayed at Art of Animation, the latest addition to Disney's value resort portfolio. It opened last May, and family suites, starting at $250 a night, are available in the Finding Nemo, Lion King and Cars section.
The Little Mermaid area, where I stayed, offers standard rooms starting at $113 per night. I was again delighted by the smallest of details: The coat hangers were shaped like fish hooks, the walls of my bathtub made me feel like I was under the sea and the big blue swimming pool played music under water.
And the author didn't lie- take a look at the inside of the bath tub.
And this is also why you should stay on property. There's no hotel like this- where you can feel like you are part of a fairy tale. You can stay at a Holiday Inn anywhere.
But this isn't just about the Art of Animation- the entire theme parks have these magical touches throughout. The author of the article also discussed some of the magic you can find in the new Fantasyland. It's the small things, like the coat hangars shaped like fish hooks, that really complete the magic.
We went to Walt Disney World on our honey moon, and also visited Universal Studios. The difference between the two parks was staggering. I had visited Universal as a child- and it looked like some of the rides hadn't been touched since then. The "classic" rides were classic in every sense of the word.
Disney will actually shut down rides and restaurants so they can repaint, and update theming. It stinks when there's something shut down on your trip-but its a necessary evil to keep Disney of top of the theme park world. Now, since I visited Universal, they have added some new things, and underwent new ownership. It appears they are headed in the right direction-and the rides there were great. I love Spiderman and the Simpsons ride, among others.
Whether it's creating new rides, hotels, restaurants, or maintaining old attractions- Disney sees to it with the most creative minds.
Speaking of the Art of Animation resort- check out the Cozy Cone Motel pool at the Cars part of the resort.

Milan eager to win back fans
Milan players are desperate to regain the trust of their fans after a protest led to their active area being empty during a win over Cagliari on Saturday.
The Curva Sud fan group boycotted the clash at San Siro, where Milan claimed a much-needed 3-1 win to ease the pressure on under-fire coach Filippo Inzaghi.
Banners in protest of the way the club is being run were unfurled, with Milan sitting seventh in Serie A.
Dutch midfielder Marco van Ginkel said the absence of the fans was felt, and believes the players need to win them back.
"The Curva Sud weren't in the stadium today and we missed their support," Van Ginkel told the club's website.
"We need their support but we have to bring them back to the stadium and to support us."
A brace from Jeremy Menez and a Philippe Mexes goal helped Milan to their victory, ending a three-game winless run.
Milan defender Luca Antonelli said the supporters had every right to be upset about the campaign so far.
"The fans like us are disappointed about the season, but it's now down to us to bring as many fans back to the stadium," he said.

Journey by Sled
The copper and silver lay buried in a sterile zone, where vegetables reached a scant arborescence. The tiny birch tree and the lichen could not manage to liven the vista.
A continental river remained paralyzed by the ice for more than half the year. A few unformed boats, of rudimentary art, were falling apart amidst the strict climate. The authors of their fabrication gathered the pieces by means of hemp ropes, without the aid of iron. Those ships traveled heavily balancing their three masts in the livid air.
Apathetic men, dressed in reindeer skins, they were waiting at the mouth of the river. Some birds of sordid beaks were tearing apart in their presence the corpse of a polar whale.
Those unkempt men were dying from filth and scurvy. They were not accustomed to using salt and they would eat fish without gutting them.
I had arrived to that place while carrying out an order from the British government. I had to spy the activities of the Muscovite agents, who were insistent in our destruction. I had laboriously adopted the customs and languages of those uncultured nations and nobody would have distinguished me from among the Mongolians with saffron-colored faces.
I immediately noticed the ineptitude of our enemies. They had not yet discovered the method for applying to the industry of armor the metals treasured in the ground.
A few riders from the Caucus had penetrated the territory of an innocent tribe caught off-guard, subject to the uncertain authority of the emperor of China and careless in paying him the tribute of forty jackets made of white fox fur. He was said to be a devotee of the infernal spirits that take refuge in a mountain made of sand.
I persuaded the tribe to resist the invaders by lavishing money and firewater. I gathered a crowd together armed with pikes and walking sticks and I led it towards an assault against a small redoubt of wood where the enemy was hiding. The czar neglected the inferred amends to his servers and he incorporated them to his guard of honor.
I procured to increase my knowledge in the natural sciences when I convinced myself of the incapacity of our rivals in the dominion of Asia. I headed towards a place made famous by the discovery of Antediluvian animals. On that occasion I started a friendship with a Russian naturalist, born on the Baltic coast and educated at Riga.
Along with his university preparation he displayed the credulity and superstition of a pope. He would become copiously drunk to celebrate Sunday and he'd roll on the ground letting out an exhausting hiccup. He would habitually ingest a black bread, sour, aromatized with anise and cumin and sprinkled with a caustic sauce.
He realized, notwithstanding, the reason for my visit through that desert and he could frustrate my forced labor.
He had awakened my jealousies by telling me about the discovery of a new breed of cedars from Siberia.
I managed to poison him during the course of his drunkenness, giving him as a meal the meat of a mammoth fossil.
