Well, if you've been following my blog for awhile, you know that my blog has been part of this season's Project Runway network -- where I had the amazing opportunities to interview designers and bring you content! I'm thankful to be a part of it and excited that I was also able to guest post on the Project Runway blog :) Unfortunately, this particular season is now over so this final post from me on Project Runway ends with a special Q&A with both Nina Garcia & Tim Gunn! (I split them in two, so it would be easier to read.)
Q: The judges seem to be very divided on the final four designers in their collections that they showed for the samples, so how do you guys—I mean the complete collections are going to be different but how did you guys go about deciding a winner based on those differences you guys felt for the samples?
N. Garcia: We battled it out. No, you know what, here's a little hint. I think the pre-show to the finale was a wakeup call to the designers, and what you'll see is that at the finale they really step it up and there will be a clear and definite winner, and I think it was unanimous to be honest with you. I mean yes it was a struggle because each of them kind of came back with their best game, but I think there was a real solid winner. It wasn't so much of a disagreement towards the finale or at least I didn't think so. For me there was a very clear winner.
Q: Jennifer Hudson is the guest judge for the finale, so what was that like having her voice and opinion as part of that decision?
N. Garcia: Well you know it was great to have Jennifer; she is a celebrity herself. She has walked the red carpet many times. It's always interesting to have a celebrity's point-of-view, and very timely when she is also coming out with a line of clothes herself. So she's in that midst of producing clothes and understanding what women need in their wardrobe, so I thought it was, you know, a very timely invitation.
Q: So for the first part of the finale you all had pointed out how poorly styled all these models were, and I was wondering do you think that there's lots of talented fashion designers that tend to have styling problems or is it just the case of inexperience with this crop of people?
N. Garcia: No. I think, you know, that is something that designers—real designers—deal with all the time, and at the end I think that is a service that the designers that have enough resources use the stylists especially for that because they will turn out a more polished and concise message. It is hard to do, it is hard to make clothes, and then—I mean it's a skill set onto itself, the whole styling, and the whole presentation of a show. So to answer your question and go back to your question, it is not just a problem that these designers on Project Runway deal with; it's across the board. Any new and upcoming designer or any designer that is coming out and does not have the resources to have that service has to be, you know, very resourceful and be able to do it themselves.
Q: And I'm not sure how well Project Accessory was received, but do you think that a show like Project Stylist would be well received by Project Runway fans? Would you think that would be an interesting show that you would want to watch?
N. Garcia: I certainly do. I think it would be a great idea.
Q: What qualities do you think the winning collections on Project Runway tend to share?
N. Garcia: You know, it has to be a stand out collection; it has to have creativity. At the same time it has to have wearability because this is something that you want to aspire to have but at the same time be able to see yourself wearing it. So those are my two. When I see the winning collection that's what I am looking for, that it is creative, meaning that I haven't seen it before, that it comes from a place of authenticity from the designer, it's their own point-of-view, it's something that, at a glance you can tell who it's from, but all-in-all that it's creative and that it's wearable. That women will be able to identify with it. Retailers are going to be interested in buying it. You know these are clothes that are for a store. You know at the end of the day clothes are meant to be in a store; they're not for a museum.
Q: What did you see from each of the finale designers that made you think that they were the ones to watch?
N. Garcia: Well I mean they all brought very different things to the table. We'll start with Fabio; Fabio is one of those very conceptual, modern designers. He comes from a very organic place. Really, you know, thinking outside of the box always. That's what I appreciated about his designs, you know that very conceptual, organic, out-of-the-box aesthetics.
Dmitry has a very different approach. Dmitry is very architectural. He likes to play in geometry. Technically he is very skilled as a tailor, and he has a very sophisticated hand.
Christopher is also very technically skilled as a tailor. He has a wonderful way to deal with lightness, making garments look very light when they're not, especially the fabrics. He has a very beautiful hand with fabrics and makes them look very light, and he also works with prints very nicely, so I love that about Christopher. And his clothes looked expensive.
Melissa loves separates, and I think that is so important when you're putting together a collection, the ability to work with separates as opposed to just, you know, a dress. She lives in the world of separates. She has a very easy and urban attitude to her clothes, and they're very Melissa; Melissa designs for a young girl like herself.
Q: What did you first think when you were approached to actually be a judge on Project Runway and what made you say yes?
N. Garcia: I thought it was a crazy idea. I thought nobody would be interested in fashion. I was a little skeptical, but what made me do it I knew Heidi very well having worked with her on many projects before, and I knew Michael very well. I knew we had good company. Heidi brought the model perspective having worked in this industry for so long; Michael his designer perspective having a phenomenal career as a designer; and I brought more of an editorial perspective. When I really saw all that kind of come together I thought, "Okay. Fine. This makes sense." And, of course, let's not forget Tim Gunn who was perfect and is a perfect mentor.
Q: I love what you wear on the show. How do you choose what to wear on Project Runway?
N. Garcia: I choose what I feel comfortable wearing, and what will look good on TV. I try to keep in mind what looks good on TV and makes me feel comfortable, which not always goes hand-in-hand, but I try my best.
Q: Have you ever had times when the guest judge is not helpful or maybe even make the judging process harder?
N. Garcia: Yes that has happened. I will not name names but some guest judges come on and they decide to not really speak their mind or they—what can I say they are skeptical about really hurting peoples' feelings, but this is a show where it's about giving them constructive criticism. It's about helping them through your observations. I've never been of the school to tell them something just to help ease the blow. You are there to really help them, mentor them, help them grow, and some judges feel very uncomfortable with doing that.
Q: Over ten seasons of the show we've seen some heartbreaking elimination. If you could go back are there any decisions that you would change?
N. Garcia: No not really. I mean I know that sometimes what has happened in the past is that we will see footage—the judges, I'm speaking on the judges side—we will be at home, and we will be watching a personality that is despicable, and we've given them a very good review because as judges we don't see what happens behind the scenes. And had I known how this person behaved or what he said or what she said in this work room or to somebody that would have swayed my perception of them, but in the end when I think about it I am only there to judge them on their clothes not on their personalities and not what they do in this work room.
I feel very confident in all the judgments that we have made. We don't receive any information. We don't see what happens behind the scene. We don't get any of that. We watch it as judges in real time when the audience is watching it at home. I feel like we are not biased by any personalities. I mean yes we grow to know these designers through the season or through the show, but we don't get to see the behind the scenes so that doesn't even filter in to our deliberations about them.
Q: Which is your favorite season?
N. Garcia: The very first season just because it was you know like your baby. The first season it was just so unexpected and we were all creating such a phenomenal show without even realizing it and it really came from a place of genuine interest for all of us; for Heidi, for Michael, for Tim, for myself, and I think that's why it struck such a cord.
Q: Which Project Runway designer clothes have you worn yourself?
N. Garcia: I've worn some Christina Siriano. I, of course, wore the winning look for the Marie Claire's challenge – Kimberly. I've worn some pieces here and there.
Q: Based on your feelings earlier in the season were you at all surprised by who made it to the finale?
N. Garcia: You know what yes. Yes I was surprised who made it to the finale because if you had asked me that question at the beginning of the season I would have pointed out two other characters that kind of lost aim throughout the process. The other thing that was very distracting is that we had some very colorful personalities starting this season, and literally that was very distracting because when you have that kind of personality then it turns the shift. It's all about that personality, and it kind of clouds other people's work so that at the beginning was a little you know confusing. But I think that as the show goes on and you see the people's work and you see their skill set and you see their determination and you see how tenacious they are with their work ethic you start to see the clear winners.
Q: You were speaking earlier about styling and something that I've noticed this season is something that you speak and point out is that this piece or style does not look expensive. What can a designer do to make a garment look more expensive or luxe for the stylist?
N. Garcia: Well, you know it's about the combinations. It's about the finishing of the clothes. It's about the fabrics that they choose. I think especially when they are working with such limited resources. We don't give them a lot of money to go shop at Mood. It's interesting to keep that luxe feeling. I'm always stressing it needs to look finished. It needs to look well put together. It needs to feel expensive even if it's not. That is a reality that we are living in right now where we can buy things that are fashionable and that are good and not necessarily need to cost a lot of money. It just needs to look well-made.
Q: Do you have any advice for someone who is interested in auditioning for the show?
N. Garcia: Sure. Put together a very concise collection or portfolio of your collection. Be very motivated and focused and articulate when you present it.
Q: Who do you think is the most innovative designer to emerge from all the seasons of the show?
N. Garcia: That's a hard question. I mean they're really so different and there have been so many of them I would not be able to tell you one in particular. It's hard.
Q: Top three?
N. Garcia: Well, I think Christian is doing very well. I think there are some that did not necessarily win and have done very well on their own quietly. Yeah. You know for example Chloe Dao has got a phenomenal …. She was a winner but it's not in the same vein as Christian Siriano. And then there is another designer from a previous season that did not win and her clothes sell at … and she's an evening wear designer who's doing very well.
Q: Do you stay in touch with any of the designers from any of the past seasons?
N. Garcia: Yes. They sometimes come to the magazine. They will show me their collections. Yes a lot of them reach out so we do stay in touch with some of them. Some more than others but you know.
Q: And what do you owe to the show's long-time success? I mean I know you still have the same—you, Heidi, and Michael from the original seasons. What do you attribute to all sticking together and the show being around for so long?
N. Garcia: I think there's great chemistry between the judges. I think we are coming from a place of real genuine care for the talent and betterment of the designers and that shows. It comes from a good place; it comes from a place of—I don't know. I just think we all have very genuine interest for these designers to work, and we appreciate their work, and I think that that's part of the success of the show, that authenticity comes across on TV.
Q: And do you want to be part of the show for as long as it goes on?
N. Garcia: Well, we'll see. I'm not going to be there in a wheelchair. I mean we joke about it that we're going to be like 20 years from now, "Oh hi, Michael. Please push my wheelchair."
Q: Of course, on screen we see the judges' deliberation take place in a quick minute and a half. I'm guess it does not take that long in real life. How long is the typical deliberation?
N. Garcia: God, the deliberation by itself takes I think a good two hours and you just little snippets of it.
Q: I'm wondering what you can tell us about season eleven.
N. Garcia: Well, a lot of surprises, good surprises. I think you will enjoy it. There's not much to tell you that I can tell you right now. Just that there will be some twists and turns and surprises in store but they're all good.
Q: I had a question about Christopher Palu because I like him so much as a person and he's a great designer but in his very first introduction video on Lifetime we learned that one of the things that he loves is fur, and I was wondering have you already or would you be willing to ever talk with him about this stance that he has?
T. Gunn: You know something I'll be absolutely honest with you. I have nothing against non-transparent. I didn't know that. I actually may have just seen an edited version of that. I didn't know about his interest in fur. It's never once come up in a conversation with him, but were it to I would certainly—I mean I'm very respectful of people's life and proclivity. However, I would suggest that he visits the PETA website and also the—oh, I'm drawing a blank. It's Amanda Hearst's big charity. Anyway, I would suggest that he just see another point of view. With so many options for fur these days, so many faux fur options I just profoundly believe that it's entirely unnecessary and frankly rather vulgar.
Q: Is the winning collection the one that you were hoping would win?
T. Gunn: I have to tell you this season I—not that I don't always feel close to the designers but this was a really difficult season. It was as though it was always stormy, as though there was a rain cloud over that work room, and accordingly I was able to explore levels or dimensions of emotions with these designers that I really hadn't fully explored with the finalists in previous season. I have to say I was rooting for all of them. This is not a Miss America response; I want to assure you. I would have been happy with any of the designers winning, any of the final four winning.
Q:Is there one or two from over the ten years that have just really stood out to you that you always think back on and think, "Oh that was unusual or that was especially great"?
T. Gunn: I think most of them are wonderful. The ones that stand out for me are the ones that aren't so great. I mean one of the worst was edited in such a way that you wouldn't know it and it was probably for lots of reason. I think to people all the time the editing of the show was kind to everyone, kind, and the home visit that was so dramatically edited was Gretchen, the winner of season eight. Her mother—I mean we're playing crochet—you don't see any of this in the edit—and her mother kept knocking my crochet ball across the street into the traffic so I had to run across the street and retrieve it. I'd bring it back and she'd slam it again. It was so hostile and angry I couldn't believe it and I thought, "Well, the mess doesn't fall from the tree."
Q:I just was wondering, we saw in an episode this season where the judges consulted you on one of the looks for Ven and I was just wondering, but do the judges consult you usually before they make a decision?
T. Gunn: No. I have to tell you what happened is unprecedented. I've never done that before and I have to tell you our director Craig came to me afterwards and he said, "Well, first of all I don't know why you did that and secondly this is never going to end up in the show." And I said, "Well, I'll tell you why I did it and I agree that it would never end up in the show." I had a very dastardly motivation and my motivation was oh good I can talk to judges and help Ven go home this challenge. And it didn't work, and it ended up being Gunnar, and if I had known that I wouldn't have agreed to talk to the judges.
I've never done it before and Heidi asked. I mean she often teases about it, which I have a red phone next to my chair so I can call Tim. I mean I'm always there. It's not as though they can't shout out to me but my refrain is, "Sorry, Heidi separation of church and state."
Q:You've been on the show all ten seasons so do you have a favorite moment from this season?
T. Gunn: I have a favorite moment with all of them and it's the following: it was the Babies R Us challenge. It was coming into the work room with the wagon to retrieve the robot babies and tell the designers I was taking them to the park. I've never experienced a more joyous moment from them ever. I mean you would have thought that each one of them had just won the season.
Q:Do you think the challenges on Project Runway are getting more demanding on the designers each season?
T. Gunn: No. I don't think the challenges are more demanding. I will say the dramatic turn for me and it's been true the last several seasons but especially this past one the challenges are getting shorter. This season (I think I'm correct) with the exception of one challenge (the last one) they were all one day challenges, and Heidi will occasionally talk to me off camera and ask, "Why doesn't this work any better?" And my response is give them more time. I mean it's really a matter of time more than anything else.
I mean I think that they're all very demanding, all the challenges, and I make my experience with each season of designers … this to my experience teaching and every semester I would have a whole new group of students with different DNA and different chemistry among them as a group, and that's what you just don't know when we launch a season of the show. You just don't know how the designers are going to respond to the challenges, how they're going to respond to the ever increasing level of exhaustion both physical, emotion, creative, and mental exhaustion. It's really daunting.
On the one hand the longer they stay on the show hurray congratulations. On the other hand can I please go home? It's really very demanding.
T. Gunn: Is your perception that the challenges have become more difficult?
Q: Not just the challenges, the time crunch.
T. Gunn: Oh yeah. And I actually am quite serious about it. I always say to the designers this challenge begins and ends at Mood. If you can't fashion work for me you don't have what you need or the ingredients aren't correct you're really in trouble, and it's harder to pull out of that.
Q: I guess you're going to have to make sure the next designers know that very well.
T. Gunn: Well, actually I had a very serious talk with them the first time we went to Mood (this seasons group of designers) about … issues having to do with time constraints and materials. I mean for instance why if you've never use a silk chamois before why would you choose it? I mean it's incredibly difficult to work with. Work with things that you're familiar with and that you feel you have command over as opposed to things that are ruling you and dictating to you. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Q: You always tell the contestants to use the accessory wall thoughtfully. How important is accessorizing to the impact of a garment when it hits the runway?
T. Gunn: Well, to hear the judges talk about it it's the most important thing in the world. I mean generally speaking I'll just be blunt I feel that they're an enhancement, the accessories are, to whatever the garment is and the same with the hair and makeup is, but for me it's all about that garment. Unless the accessorizing is an extraordinary distraction in a bad way I would never comment on it at all, but the judges seem to have a very different take. They are times when it's all they talk about is the accessorizing, and I just want to say be quiet, look at the clothes.
Q:Excellent. And do you have any advice for someone who is thinking about auditioning for the show?
T. Gunn: Yes. Being who you are because as you present yourself as someone you're not then the likelihood that you can sustain that on the show is unlikely. Just be who you are and be proud of that and don't be someone you think that the producers or the judges will want to have on the show. Just be who you are.
Q:Nina was saying earlier that some of the contestants just run out of steam throughout the course of the season.
T. Gunn: It's true. Yes, Nina is right.
Q: What are the qualities that you think make or break a contestant?
T. Gunn: I mean I can give you a whole list. What the unknown quantity is here is how—it's something I mentioned a little earlier—how will each individual designer respond to the pressures of being on the show. You just don't know. I mean qualities that are important are, of course, experience with the technical know-how, a strong point-of-view, strong ability to conceptualize, tenacity, a strong bladder, and a lot of self-confidence and self-confidence has to be tempered with an ability to listen and synthesize. And I would also say it's important to have a strong knowledge of fashion history. I think it's very important, especially (going back to Nina) with Nina because she's constantly making references to the work of other designers and comparing the Project Runway designers work to those individuals, and if they don't know who they are they're really at a disadvantage.
Q: What's the fashion risk that you'd like to see the designers take? Is there something that you've ever not seen and you're like, "Gosh, I just wish somebody would make that"?
T. Gunn: For me it's more about what the individual designer's point-of-view is and having them push the boundaries of that and explore further. I'll cite Anya, the winner of last season. There were two moments on the show, two challenges when she really stepped up and away from those maxi dresses and did some beautiful tailoring, and I know it took her out of her comfort zone and she would still … but they were two of the best garments of the entire season, not just from her but from anyone.
When the designers have kind of an epiphany about who they can be and they explore that and represent that work I'm thrilled and elated, but I never look at them and think, "Oh if only you would do X." And on the other hand, "If only you would do better work." But I have to say I'm just so in awe of what they actually do and in the time that they do it. I mean it's staggering. I want to say to the judges, "You try doing this. See how good your work would be."
Q: How surprised were you at this stage that there weren't really any designs with a huge wow factor for the judges?
T. Gunn: Oh you know I can be doom and gloomish {sic} about it and woeful. I mean quite frankly we get to a point in the season where I'm just happy anything is walking down that runway. The designers are so done at the end. I mean I'm very much their advocate and their champion and their cheerleader and their defense attorney so when the judges go after them I want to stand up and shout, but I won't pretend that there were big wow moments this season.
Q:What were you really thinking when you had that moment of silence at Fabio's place?
T. Gunn: I thought it was one of the worst collections of clothing that I'd ever seen in my entire life. I was just mystified. He's so incredibly talented that that palette is so juvenile and so junior. I was just mystified. I mean to me he's incredibly smart and incredibly knowledgeable and I thought maybe he was really, in a manner of speaking, pulling my leg and he was going to say, "Guess what this isn't really it." I just don't know what happened. I was hugely relieved that he passed through the judges' analysis last week, and I was especially pleased to hear the feedback that the judges gave him because it was so similar to what I gave him when I had the home visit. You'll find out tomorrow whether he listened or not.
Q: Which season ten finale collection surprised you the most at your home visit?
T. Gunn: Oh Fabio's without question.
Q:Yeah what did you think of his plastic canvas accessories?
T. Gunn: Actually I liked them. They were collaboration with an artist that Fabio found online. I don't know whether people know that.
Q:As long as whatever he paid comes out of the budget right?
T. Gunn: Yes. No we explored that. I think those days—or at least I hope those days are long behind us but that really has not been an issue thankfully.
Q:That's great. Who would you love to see as your dream finale judge?
T. Gunn: Oh you know who I would love to see as a finale judge? Meryl Steep. And I'd love to hear how Meryl Streep talks about clothes, quite frankly.
Q:Which is your favorite season?
T. Gunn: Oh boy, you know, it's like each successful semester of classes I have. Whatever I'm in the thick of it's always my favorite, and as I said earlier, there is a lot of emotion tied up for me in season ten because the designers were so grumpy and gloomy. I mean I'd be out of the work room and there would be this audible sign of like oh, God he's here again, and I would just say to them, "You know I'm coming in and out of this room all day. You know it so just face up to it that's the way it is." But I was mystified by it. It's like come on people, you've seen the show.
Q: Tim, what can you tell us about season eleven?
T. Gunn: I can't tell you a thing except that there will be one.
Q: Okay. And besides Project Runway what else are you working on?
T. Gunn: Oh, God, what am I not working on. God, what am I in the middle of, everything. I'm writing my Marie Claire column and I'm doing my voice-overs for Sophia the First or Disney Channel Animation that's coming out this coming month or in November. It's really adorable. It's a wonderful feel-good animation. What else am I doing? I don't know. I'm running around doing a lot of things including starting work on a new book. I'm so proud of the Fashion Bible though. I'm just so thrilled with its success and its had great reviews and it's gratifying when you put that much work into something and people actually respond positively.
Q:Do you think we're going to be surprised by tomorrow night's outcome, Tim?
T. Gunn: Well, I never make any assumptions about who is going to win. The judges are constantly surprising me so I go in to it with a certain—well, I don't. I mean this season, as I said earlier, it could have been any of them and I would have been happy. I will say though I have not been particularly happy with the outcome of the last couple of season, and I don't want to denigrate Anya but I thought Viktor Luna's collection was definitively stronger and I was stunned that he didn't win. And this season I was enormously happy with the outcome so I hope everyone else is, enormously happy.
Q: Do you think this final four were the best four designers of the whole season?
T. Gunn: Yes. I'll say that without hesitation, yes. I really do. The cream really does rise; it just does. I mean am I sorry to see certain designers go? Oh of course but no this is a strong group.
Q: Do you keep in touch with any of the designers from this or the past seasons?
T. Gunn: I keep in touch with them as much as they want to keep in touch with me. I certainly don't force myself upon them and a lot of them do reach out, and I'm always very please, especially when they want me to see their work. Yes as much as they want but they have a big alumni association now, big.
Q:Do you kind of help mentor them when they do reach out to you?
T. Gunn: If I'm available and I'm here in New York or wherever they are certainly sure.
Q:I'd love to get your perspective now that the season is over on the designers who bailed early this season, Andrea and Kooan. I'd love to hear what you think that made the season better, worse, what were your thoughts on that?
T. Gunn: Well, on the topic of Andrea I was totally and completely and thoroughly mystified. She's a fashion teacher. Why would she bolt in this way? Just in terms of quality of character what does it say about being a quitter, especially when you're a teacher? A teacher is kind of mentoring young people; not kind of you are and to just quit and walk out like that I was mystified. We gave her the opportunity to come back and tell her side of the story, to talk about why she left and she wouldn't do it so I just thought what a weak sister.
On the topic of Kooan— I called it our Japanese Maple—he was on the threshold of leaving from the moment he walked into the work room, and it was just a matter of when. As a matter of fact, that morning we were at Michael Kors' boutique for the challenge and I was told that he wasn't coming. So we had two designers to talk to the other designers about, but then of course he did come and we're back in the work room after Mood and he just dropped this bomb and says he's leaving. I mean I'm always there. I'm always on the other side of the work room wall so of course I bolted in and there was no reason to talk him off the ledge. It was kinder just to say, "Fine. You can go." But it was certainly a surprise.
And regrettably when this leaving is set in motion you worry about all the other designers. Are they just going to say when the going gets tough we're going to get going? Because there was talk of leaving from a number of them, and thankfully no one else did leave, but it was dicey.
Q:Do you think that those departures played in to that feeling of doom and gloom that you felt during the season in the work room?
T. Gunn: I actually think that those two factors are inextricable. I really believe that it's like the chicken and the egg; it's hard to say which came first but they were partners in the whole season. It was very peculiar and hopefully will never happen again.

Dear Members,
Today was the 11th day of our NLRB hearings where Penn is trying everything it can to delay our election long enough to give Donald Trump a chance to take away our right to unionize. However, it was only the second day of testimony from graduate student workers. Up today were grad witnesses Jackie Bannon from Nursing, Kelly Karch from BGS, and Miranda Weinberg from GSE and Anthropology.
There were many highlights from today, including my colleague Kelly's testimony. She is a fellow Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics (BMB) student. I heard from Kelly about her experience testifying. She described her work as a research assistant and TA, which for her included developing exams, leading recitation sections, and even lecturing on topics where she was more knowledgeable than the professor teaching the class. Not only did Penn's lawyers claim that none of these roles count as work, they also suggested that Kelly was dishonest about her motivation for TAing on departmental forms she has filled out. They attacked her integrity as she testified under oath. It was very frustrating for me to hear about how Penn lawyers repeatedly asked leading questions to attempt to put words in her mouth rather than accept her honest testimony about her experiences.
Later, Miranda Weinberg testified that she works for 20 hours a week as an RA in GSE, and she was the instructor of record in a GSE class during her 5th year. Penn's lawyers (seven of them present in the hearing room at one point!) tried to argue that she did this work strictly for the purpose of furthering her own education. This was despite the fact that she repeatedly testified that she needed to do this work to support herself financially. I can't imagine how frustrating it is to say the same thing over and over, and for the lawyers to refuse to hear your answer.
No matter how long Penn tries to stall, we are confident in our ability to win an election because we have a positive vision for Penn. This vision includes making sure that everyone at Penn gets health, dental, and vision care, support for themselves and family members, and a contract laying out the rights and obligations of graduate student workers and the University of Pennsylvania.
If you support the vision of a Penn where grads have a real voice in our work lives, please join us in signing the public pledge to vote YES for GET-UP in the upcoming election. If you are worried about being public in your support, consider that I was one of the 14 original signers of our constitution, have been working on this campaign for more than a year, have expressed my support publicly in the DP, and I have still managed to get permission to write my dissertation and secure a post-doctoral position for after I graduate. I believe in democracy in the workplace, and I think publicly standing up for that belief is an important step towards achieving it.
In solidarity,
Joe Jordan

This earth stake is an important accessory for anyone with an electric fence, and its robust construction and metre long shaft make it efficient and durable. When setting up an electric fence, it is vital that an effective earth is installed. If anything goes wrong with your electricity supply while the fence is operating, surplus charge needs to be able to escape from the circuit. Allowing the extra electricity to pass into the ground is an important safety valve which reduces the risk of accidents and forms a valuable safety measure. Most energisers supplied by solway feeders come with an earth built into their plastic casings, and these should always be driven into damp soil so that electricity can easily pass through if needed. Where damp soil is unavailable, an earth stake is an important accessory. Since this earth stake is longer than many others, it stands a greater chance of making a firm connection with the soil, improving the efficiency of the earthing process in any ground conditions or situation. This earth stake is very simple to use, and a simple wingnut and set screw can be easily attached to the energiser 's earth wire.

I wanted to do a review site because nobody else was really doing it. I have invested in several but none have really set the world alight. Some have been awful, to say the least.
You can read more about them on this site on various pages.
It's very difficult to make a list of forex managed account providers because they come and go very quickly. There are not many that stand the test of time. That's why a minimum of a 2 year independent audit is recommended.
Date 14th October 2017
Forex managed accounts come and go. There are a few reasons why some are better than others. Maybe they generate great returns, maybe they are regulated or maybe they have been reliable for a long time.
Every once in a while, one or two companies really stand out from the rest. At the current time, there is one company, or two, whichever way you want to look at it. That is because they have one branch regulated in the UK under FCA regulations, and one branch in Australia, under ASIC regulations.
The reason this company stands outs from the crowd is for all the reasons mentioned above. It has a third party 3 year independently audited account performance report. I have never seen this before. 2 years is the most I have ever seen prior to this.
Secondly, as I said previously, they are regulated in two countries. I know in Australia there are quite a few regulated accounts but in the UK, you will struggle to find any, apart from this company.
Thirdly, and definitely not lastly, over the last 3 years, they have made their clients over 800% profit, and this is after the performance fee is deducted.
I am sure these factors will make you sit up and take notice. If they have, you can find out more about them on this site. For the UK regulated company, click here.

Accounts That I Am Not Investing In
New UK FCA Regulated Account
You may want to check out this account that has only just opened up in the UK. The great thing about this account is that it is fully FCA compliant in the UK.
The other unique factor that you may carefully consider is that YOU can set the amount, up to 80%, that you want to risk. So, if you only are prepared to lose 20% of your capital, then you can do so.
Anyway, have a look at this review page because it goes into more detail about the account.

Maintaining Your Car's Wheels For A Smooth Drive
The comfort & safety of your car depends, highly, on the maintenance strategies you employ of the tyres. Tires are really a valuable investment so it's necessary to maintain & keep them adequately balanced to guarantee its long life span. A well balanced tires additionally ensure smooth & dependable tracking operation.
Many of the big vehicles built in the initial days were powerful adequately to sprinkle the vibrations brought about during drives. Nevertheless, the current cars are outfitted with light-weight chassis which influences it pretty sensitive to even the smallest prejudices like vibrations. This reveals the reason why alloy wheels require to be balanced correctly in order to provide excellent performance & longer sturdiness. Alloy wheels are typically light in substance due to its uncommon construction models. The brilliant wheels can be adjusted perfectly for a safe & smooth drive.
Essential Steps to Observe
The first thing to do is park the car on a horizontal ground & extricate the lug nuts of wheel rims utilizing a tire iron. Use a landing jack to elevate the vehicle off the ground without taking the wheels off entirely. Suspend the car fully with the use of jack stands. Then take off the lug nuts and the all the four wheels.
Clean the tires utilizing soapy water & a brush. Deposits of cement, paint & tar can be eliminated by utilizing lacquer thinner.
Set up a bubble balance machine for the process of balancing the alloy wheels. Observe the bubble through the window gauge. Alter the knobs to guarantee which the globules are amidst the cross-hair. Presently put a rim confronting upwards finished the machined cone. The lever of the machine needs to be driven down with the purpose which the tire floats. Indicate the location of the bubble.
Note the bubble movement by withdrawing a half inch increment weight from the adhesive tape. Because 1/2 addition can be set on the other way of the bubble movement. To focus the bubble in the window gauge,keep hatching half inch weights on the rim. Utilize a chalk to mark the outline of the weight on the rims. Presently discharge the floater level of the machine and enable the rim to sit on the frame of the machine.
Utilize a similar procedure for the various wheels. Harmonize the rim over the machine and secure every one of the weights to it. Place the wheels back onto the auto & bind the nuts legitimately.
Refurbishing Tips:
Despite the fact that these wheels seem elegant and chic in the first place, with the progression of time, it tends to wear a dull appearance. However, these wheels can be refurbished easily.
Clean the wheels in the wake of expelling it from the car. Strip the existing paint and primer with the goal that a new coat can be applied in a fitting manner. Sand the coverings of the wheels until the point that it seems flush. Utilize paint more slender to clean the wheels collectively. Spray a hornbook on to the wheels. At that point spray the colour coat onto the wheels. Apply clear coats later the color is totallydry. Utilize wax to polish the wheels with thean object which it appears brilliant.

Article by Craig Hamilton-Parker about 'Horror Stories About Ouija Boards'. The articles, comments and posting on this site are copyright and appear in my books.
Is it Dangerous to use the Ouija Board?
I get so many emails and letters with horror stories about Ouija Boards. Isn't it about time that people realized that if you approach the spirit world looking for frights then it is likely that you'll not only frighten yourself but there are long-term consequences.
Video: Ouija Board Horror Stories
One person wrote to say: "I have been using the glass and letter circle and been told that I have an Indian guide. Some remarkable things that have come true and that I should look to join a circle.
"The glass told me that a family member would become pregnant but the person they would marry would not be the father. Three months later this came to pass. My grandmother also communicated and spoke of a twin son, named Robert, who she had lost a few weeks after his birth. No one living knew his name so I checked at the Department of Records. To my surprise there it was in black and white: Robert!"
Many of the objections to spirit communication are that the medium is using telepathy to read the minds of the sitters. As no one living knew of Robert it goes a long way in demonstrating that this person is contacting people in the after-life and there are lots of cases on record where the Ouija Board was used in a responsible way to contact the dead. If people use it properly then there would be far fewer horror stories about Ouija Boards.

Some Scary Tales
Here are a few more recent questions that people have sent me via my newspaper columns.
"Many years ago when I was a teenager, some friends and I, started playing about with the Ouija Board. When we 'made contact' we took turns to ask the spirit some questions, and, when it came to my turn, I stupidly asked the spirit when, and how I would die. It answered through the board that I would die at 65 and it would be in a plane crash.
"Now much wiser, I realize that dabbling in these things is dangerous. However, I would like to know if the spirit could have been right, or if (as I have read in a book ) spirits don't have access to this information. You will appreciate that this is causing me some anxiety."
In reply I wrote: The time and way of our death is not accessible through any form of clairvoyance. Many of the phenomena displayed through Ouija boards come from a collective, telepathy and the messages can show our own inner fears.
It is clear that many people get quite upset by predictions made by the Ouija Board and death predictions are of course the source of most horror stories about Ouija Boards.

- Would You Like to Talk to a Medium?
Fears About Death
The fears that Ouija Board create may last a lifetime. One person wrote to me to say: "Years ago, when I was a young woman, I played with the Ouija board on my own for fun. A few years later, my mother and I both began to experience constant bad luck. There was a feeling of an evil presence and disturbances around the house. This continued in all three houses we moved to. I believe that bad luck still follows me. Can this curse be broken?"
I replied: Frankly, I think your bad luck is a result of by negative thinking habits. The Ouija board probably has nothing to do with what has happened to you. Whatever the cause, you need to think more positively. That upon what you focus your attention grows stronger. If you focus on bad luck, things will only get worse. Instead, start counting your blessings, however few, and look forward to better times ahead. This will inevitably draw good luck your way.

A Ouija Board Horror Story of a different kind
My Spiritualist friend Vi added that it is part of Spiritualist philosophy that we should not summon spirits. When asked about horror stories about Ouija Boards and whether people should call spirits she said: "The short answer is: NO! Definitely not! It is not possible to demand that people in this life be at your call and for them to do as you wish, so why should it be any different in the Spirit World. The whole thrust of the messages which come back to us through the agency of mediumship is that people do not change when they move into the Spirit World. They have now left their physical body behind which was only a vehicle of expression for the spirit while living in a physical world. It certainly is not required in the Spirit World.
"If the personality of the person who has now returned to the Spirit World is the same as it was on earth then a stubborn, obstinate person will ignore any 'calls' or 'summonses' from people living on this earth. Mediums do not have any extraordinary power which would help such an event. Any mediums who promise that they are capable of bringing forward a designated spirit person is not only fooling the people wishing to hear from loved ones in the Spirit World, but they are also fooling themselves.
Barriers to Spirit Communication
"Family and friends now living in Spirit are aware of how much we love and miss them. They will do everything within their power to make contact when they can, but it will always be their choice. There are also a few requirements for a contact to be made. The medium must be developed to a level where they can link into the vibrations of the Spirit World; conditions, such as negativity and skepticism can create barriers to communication as can depleted energy levels; these conditions can cause interference so any message will not be clear.
"You must always remember that you don't need a medium to talk to your family in Spirit. They are only ever a thought away – send out your thoughts to them and they are received. You may need the services of a medium to receive their thoughts but do not let that fact detract you from speaking to them – love is passed between the two worlds of being without the help of mediumship."
But of course people will insist on using the Ouija Board and in most instances it leads to problems it is clearly important to Ouija board responsibly. So should people use the Ouija Board? The simple answer is: Don't do it "I recommend you strongly not to use a Ouija board," says Craig. "When they work they're like an open door to all emotions and feelings, so our own thoughts can effect it and be very deceiving.
Any fears you have are reflected right back at you, which is very frightening."
Top 7 Tips to use the Ouija Board Safely
- Be serious about it, but cheerful at the same time.
- Do it with good intent – don't try to deceive or insult anyone with it.
- Don't ask it questions about the future, because the spirit world can't tell you about the future.
- Make sure all the people you do it with are calm and have no emotional or mental problems, and make sure they have the same good intent as you.
- Drink water, because that can help clear negative energy. Definitely don't have any alcohol.
- Do it in the daytime not at night, so you're less likely to get jumpy.
- Ask the spirit world or God – however you want to put it – for protection before you do it.

Stress is part of our body's natural and automatic response to meeting life's challenges. Whether we meet those challenges with the depletion that comes from chronic stress or with resiliency can play a large role in our health and happiness every day. The more resilient we are, the quicker we can rebound from setbacks and adversity, whether they be everyday stressors or seemingly life-altering ones.
With an estimated 70% or more of physician visits attributed to conditions that are related to stress, it is clear that our ability to cultivate resiliency and harness the body and mind's adaptive response to stress can help to mitigate the negative consequences of chronic disease, as well as to strengthen the body's immune system for long-term health and well-being.

time to reflect
Now that I have one truss up on the roof, it's time to sit and think a bit about how the next phase is going to come together. I missed my photo op for the mystery project from yesterday - so no video....perhaps tomorrow. Over and out....

Planning is always a good thing, but what is the old saying, Study long, Study wrong? :-)
Looking forward to the video

It's always good to sleep on it when trying to decide which way to proceed. This has been proven out by research. People always make better decisions after "Sleeping On It".
As usual, good luck with all.

I have a similar version to the rhyme previously posted, but it's shorter:
Find your place (underline)
Then look next door (circle it)
Five or greater?
Add one more.
All the digits in front
Stay the same.
All behind?
Zero is your name.
My third graders loved it!
I use the CUBA method.
C- Circle the number you are rounding
U- Underline the number to the right
B- Baby or Bully? Baby (0-4) stays the same Bully (5-9) round up
A- Add zeros to all the places behind the circled number
It works well with my students. Best of luck!
Gosh....I am having this exact problem 2day. I am teaching rounding to my 4th graders and most of them don't have a clue as to what is going on. It is SUPER EASY.....most of them are not able to round to the nearest TEN. I am going to go hard 2morrow with this method I found on here. I will let u all know how it goes.
We have the kids decide what two numbers that end in zero is the number between. Then we have them draw a hill and put the lower number on the left and the higher number on the right. Then we mark a line at the top of the hill and put the number in the middle there. Then we put the number we are rounding on the hill. I ask them if we were skating and had to suddenly stop on that number, which way would we roll. Then we teach them 4 or less, let it rest, 5 or above, give it a shove. Basically, its like the numberline, but we shape it like a hill. Hope this makes sense. I have been up for 2 days..
I took that first chant and then turned it into a cheer. Luckily, someone on our campus had pompoms. I grabbed those and invented motions to go along with the cheer. That way the kids can now imagine my making those motions when they are thinking of the cheer.
I had kids who definitely didn't know rounding grasp it yesterday. There are several strugglers...as there always are. But they will practicing rounding again today and hopefully they will become a bit better.
Thank you all so so so much for your wonderful suggestions!
We tried for weeks to get our students to understand rounding at the beginning of the year, but I don't think they were ready yet. Most are finally understanding it now. We used the same trick of underlining the rounded place, circle the place to the right. The number 5 and up have power, 4 and below don't. For example:
565 - underline the 6, circle the 5 on the right (makes it look like a zero). Does 5 have power - Yes it does, so it tells the 6 to GROW UP! (They love that part!) and everything else is a zero. I kept the numbers on the board: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 - no power, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - power and they finally seem to get it now!
I have the kids underline the place they're rounding to, as well.
We use this rhyme...
Find your number,
Look RIGHT next door, (reminds them to look to the right)
4 or lower, just ignore,
5 or higher, add one more.
Four or less, give it a rest.
Five or above, give it a shove.
I've also tried the "Rounding wheel". I found it in a Mailbox Magazine.
It's a circle divided in half. You number it like a clock, but stop at 9. The left side has a big +0 and the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are on that side. Then the right side has a big +1 and the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. I give a copy to each student and eventually have them draw it on their own. It's very helpful because it's visual.
Oops! I forgot. I also have students underline the digit/place value they are rounding to and have them underline the digit/place value behind it just like someone mentioned.
I have a similar version to the rhyme previously posted, but it's shorter:
Find your place (underline)
Then look next door (circle it)
Five or greater?
Add one more.
All the digits in front
Stay the same.
All behind?
Zero is your name.
My third graders loved it!
Wow, thanks for all these great suggestions. I'll definitely try these out.
I have my students underline the place they are rounding to - then they circle the neighbor to the right. I classify the circled # as either weak (0-4) or strong (5-9). Then, above the number we write our stay/weak answer and our go/strong answer. Then they circle the correct annswer after looking at the circled "Boss".
I have found with my students that if they only have two answers to choose from it is much easier for them that is why I have them write the two possible choices - they eventually don't need to do that but in the beginning it helps.
40 50
48 Picture the 4 underlined and the 8 circled - 8 is a big strong boss so we go to 50.
If it was 248 and rounding to the nearest tens we talk about how the number to the left tags along in the answer (like a puppy, etc...)
Hope this helps
I've always heard...
Five or more, raise the score
Four or less, give it a rest
but I really like the post above too.
I use this rhyme. Maybe it will help your kids.
Find that place value, circle that digit.
Number to the right, underline, get it.
Four and under, circle stays the same.
Five and up, add one is the game.
Now flex your muscles like a hero,
Digits to the right turn to zero.
All other digits stay the same,
Wow, you're a winner in the rounding game.
Okay, so they have learned this already in 3rd and some what in 2nd as told to me by the teachers who teach that grade level at my school. They taught it using a number line and asking what number is a so and so number closer to.
I have done the same. We do Mountain Math and Daily Math, which both have rounding/estimating in them. But no matter how many times I remind my students how to do it and show them a quicky...they can't do it! It's on the state test coming up in 3 weeks (we'll be on Spring Break for two of those weeks).
How oh how do you teach this to your kids? I plan on teaching it for two days and having them practice it. I want to know a good strategy for teaching it and getting the kids to remember it easily. It should be something so easy...but these kids just can't! It makes me furious to know they have learned it and that they just can't make it stick. I want to make it stick! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Online Video Chalk Talk: Think Enterprise-Wide
DCOnlineVideo's "Chalk Talk" is a series of simple, easy-to-enact tips and "how-tos" that will improve the impact, reach, and effectiveness of your online video marketing. Today's tip:
Showcase your people and your company will become a star!
Even small organizations rely on a team of people who interact, in various roles, with customers, members and prospects. These interactions, even brief ones, help create the reputation of your organization (either for an individual or a group of people).
Showcase the breadth and depth of your organization by featuring key players on your team in video interviews. Speak with leaders in all departments, for example, marketing, sales, IT, accounting, and operations. Ask each what drives their daily workplace activity and how it benefits customers.
Although not everyone will offer compelling stories, many will share compassion and care about their work. And in the process, assure viewers that yours is a professional, responsive, responsible company. All values people seek when making buying decisions!

One of the calendar's most charming quirks isn't the fact that some months have 31 days, and some have 30, and some one has 28; it's that there are so many sayings and rhymes that are associated with particular times of the year.
Chestnuts like "in like a lion, out like a lamb" for March and "thirty days hath September" help us keep track of our days, but there's no rhyme for the end of lobster festival season around Southern California. It arrives at the very start of fall, and whoosh! The buttery, bib-wearing weekends are done.
While someone gets to work on dreaming up a seasonally appropriate rhyme, lobster lovers can make for Seaside Lagoon, where the annual Redondo Beach Lobster Festival begins to round the stretch of festivals out. The Port of LA, and Newport Beach, and Long Beach are now done for 2016 on the lobster party front, but Redondo Beach is ready for some lobster & steak dinners.
Local news from across Southern California
Accompaniments include "buttered and herbed red potatoes, buttery dipping sauce, cole slaw, and a roll," and there are a trio of meals to choose from, so browse all.
The dates? Friday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 25. The non-buttery doings? There shall be bands, like a Beatles-y, Stones-y showdown on Sept. 23, and there shall be an appearance by Ambrosia, the hit-making outfit behind the sublime "Biggest Part of Me" and oodles of other great tunes (they'll be at the fest on Sept. 25). More bands are on the schedule, and more chances to dance, listen, chillax, repeat.
Tickets and such? Here. Thinking up a rhyme to signify the end of lobster festival season around Los Angeles? Well, not really necessary, we suppose, if you keep in mind that the autumn equinox usually is a pretty clear reminder to get out and fest it up, if that's your jam.
Not jam, but rather, your buttery dip.

Continuing the pretend theme, I forgot to mention that our smushi dinner the other night culminated in a rare sighting – and tasting – of a quartet of petit fours from the esteemed Fat Duck in Bray (that's in INGLAN).
There was a playing card, which looked just like a Queen of Hearts, but which turned out to be two weh-feh thin layes of white chocolate separated by a layer of something fruity (!). There was something which looked like a toffee but which tasted like an entire mouthful of apple pie (!). There was something chocolaty, which didn't survive the journey all to well, and so I don't remember what it was pretending to be.
My own favourite was the "coconut baccie", which looked like a not-so-distant relative of my own beloved Golden Virginia,
but which tasted (and still does) of coconut.
That Heston is quite a genius.
In other news, this just in from Swaziland (Google it):
"Due to the good rain and hot climate the Violin Spider is moving into
Houses. It is often seen as a 'Daddy longlegs' spider and not the dangerous
Violin spider.
Please take note of this spider – it is very dangerous.
Please warn kids and send to everyone you know to alert them as well!
This spider is breeding at a rate of speed and is found in more and more
South-African houses!!!!"
So let's all be thankful we're not there this silly season (condolences to friends who are), and get on with the silliness in a good and responsible fashion. Good luck to you all.

An oft promoted "secret" of buying investment real estate with the intent of "flipping" the property is, as regular, no secret in any respect. Group them together as special reports for buyers, sellers and investors and discover ways to offer as many away as you may; by way of email, unsolicited mail, promote them by flyers that you just place on cars parked in purchasing centers and grocery retailer parking lots, etc.
A real property attorney will help in buying and promoting business property business. A lot of the contract will merely be pre-typed textual content, usually a template, that outlines the seller's duties as soon as the sale is finalized. Though slowdown information of property market in nation's financial capital has been a lot talked about, nevertheless it was first time that figures proved the extent of slowdown.
They will value their house at about its estimated value, and hope to sell it for approximately what it is value, taking into consideration that sellers and patrons alike often endure from the same lack of specific data of the house's worth in the marketplace.
Do I ever NOT advocate using an LLC for real-estate holdings? The contract should state the sort of financing preferred by the client and which the vendor is willing to simply accept. Realty is the broad definition for land, actual property, and actual property.
A home inspection is normally requested by dwelling patrons to make sure that the property they are buying is free from material defects. However, for all of those naysayers on the market who have pestered others to personal a home as a substitute of shopping for, it appears that they really may be fallacious, a minimum of for some real estate markets.

qxgolferwrote a review of POC Trabec Helmet on May 15, 2013
Wow. Love it.
Bought the purple variety for the wife. She loves the color and the fit is amazing. Bought her the XS/S and fits like a glove. Secure and tight and no pressure (hot) spots to speak of. Took it riding and she liked the ventilation and weight, almost as if she wasn't wearing one. Only wish the orange had been on sale as well for myself.
