Watch a quick video on our process for working with you to create custom branded packaging.
Personalized retail bags provide a higher perceived value for your products and services, all while elevating your brand. Because your customers will walk around with the custom printed bags (and reuse them), you will reach more people with your branding.
Eco-friendly materials are available and used for these. We offer bulk quantities at wholesale prices. Paper bags provide more durability and a different look tha custom plastic bags (which we have available here).
Custom shopping bags are essential for operations and your marketing plan. We see these bags used outside of retail, as well, as gift bags or used in conjunction with events. Whether you have a boutique, candy store, or any other kind of brand that needs wholesale merchandise bags, we will help you personalize your own.
We have a range printing and color options available to help you promote your message or brand. While many customers customize with their logo or slogan, others will customize their bags to promote a specific product or campaign. For retail, events, and more.
There are a huge number of options for materials, colors, finishes and handles. We'll help you decide on every step. We can provide standard paper bags with a natural brown kraft paper finish, or high quality, virgin paper coateded eurototes with rope handles and matte or gloss finish. On top of that, we're able to help you decide on a printing method, which can range from a simple, one color logo stamped onto your bag in foil, to a full color digital print over the entire bag.

what princess di was to england.ashley was to south africa,our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends goodbye sweet soul
Truly sad for such a wonderful talented person to leave us so soon. Your chicken breasts at La Vista Social Club that you cooked and served were always absolute perfection! The terrible accident was on the corner of 3rd Avenue, Tana and Linden Roads in Emmarentia (where the police marked the positions of cars A + B in Linden Rd, Emmmarentia). You are sorely missed Asleigh… but your spirit lives on!
To the Callie Family. YOu are all in my prayers.
love, cp
My heart really goes out to ashleighs family during this extremely difficult time. I am so sad that ashleigh is no longer with us but she will always be alive in our hearts and memories…I lost my mom and sister not too long ago and i still dont understand why or how it happened but you learn to accept it and GOD carries you through it. Goodbye South-Africas ROSE,we will always cherish your memory…
we're very sad to have lost you and grateful to have had you even if it was for so short. your spirit will be with us always. love kefilwe
Long live the spirit of Ashley…a sad day in SA indeed! As unbelievable as it is…may she rest in peace…
Our sincerest condolences to Ashley's family. Our 17 year old son was killed 11 months ago. Also a wonderful special kind and loving person. It is so unfair and cruel and it is something you never get over or come to terms with. My heart goes out to her family. Sadly words at a time like this are meaningless. May Ashley, one of my favourite actors, rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to Ashleigh's family,we will all miss her dearly. I am so everwhelmed with emotion right now, i was agreat a fan of Ash. Rest in peace beatiful angel, your spirit lives on.
RIP Ashleigh. Beautiful person inside and out.
After hearing the news 2day i am so deeply saddened. I had been praying 4 ashley 2 pull through this. What an amazingly beautiful and talented woman. I can't believe how isidingo will ever be the same again. And as i say that i think only of how ever ashley's parents and sister's life will ever be the same. What a tragedy ur family has had to endure. May God be with u all and comfort u in this time. Please find some peace in the fact that ashley has touched all of our lives in some way or another and that she now watches down on us from up in heaven where we will meet with her one day.
Ash we will miss u deeply. You were such an inspiration to all of us. X
Our very deepest sympathy to the Callie family and friends. This is such a sad and tragic day. Can't imagine Isidingo without her. She was such a lady. Ashley, rest in peace. You will so be missed.
WHAT A TRADGEDY TO SUCH AN AMAZING WOMEN. I'm shocked as I learnt of her passing. Just what would the tv world be without her? im sad..but know she will always live on in our hearts. To her parents: be proud-she was amazing,and be strong!
3 cheers to an AMAZING actress: the ultimate ASHLEY!!!
To the family:- God speaks to us in mysterious way, He knows all the answers to our sorrows. May Lee 'soul Rest In Peace. Re tla dula re mo gopola.
It was with shock and sadness that I heard of Ashley's passing away this morning! It felt like I knew her personally and is very saddened by the news. To her family, my God give you the strength you need to get through this very difficult time. Like you, we will miss her always. Rest in Peace Ashley Callie.
Its so hard to deal with because she was such a fine person. Thats what makes it so heartbreaking to still watch her act; and you dont know which will be the last episode with her. Its very difficult to accept that it will end. Take care. Meera
I feel so sad, she was a talented young lady. Isidingo won't be the same without her, but she'll always be in our hearts. Our prayers are with the family
To The Callie Family and all of Ashley's friends my heartfelt condolences to you at this tragic loss.
Our very deepest sympathy to the Callie family & fans.Ashely may your soul rest in eternal in peace, we will miss u, Isidingo will neve be the same again, no one will ever replace you. Only God knows why.
I don't think I can adequately describe the sadness I feel now – upon hearing of Ashley's passing. I haven't watched Isidingo in years – and clearly I don't know Ashley, other than on tv and glimpses at the restaturant, but other than her obvious beauty, there was definitely something ethereal and angelic about her. The way she carried herself, the aura around her – she was clearly a special human being – as evidenced by all the comments on this site. What an unbelievable person and life. Whatever the purpose of this existence is, Ashley no doubt added a dose of something wonderful and pure. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. rgds. Sa'eed
To the Callie family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. In times like this the best you can do is turn to God and draw strength from him. My heart fely condolences to you during this hard time.
I want to pass my most heartfelt condolences to the Callie family. May God help with the strength needed to go through something so tragic. Ashley's memory will live on in Isidingo..She will be sorely missed.
Im shocked, dont have words to describe this feeling that i have.
To Ashleys Family "Keep strong and remember that GOD always has plans for everyone in this world, my condelences goes to you, we will never forget her.
May her soul rest in peace!
Our Dear Sister and Our South-African Star is gone
My biggest condolences to Ashleys family.I love her she will always be in my heart and mind.I remember when I saw her a day before her accident I showed my friend and said to her she is pretty even in person.I was deepely shocked and sad at the same time.I have lost a sister and a star, to the family God has given and now has taken HIS precious Blue Diamond let all give her a clear way to heaven, by smiling back when thinking about all the good work she has done for South-Africa.May the ALMIGHTY
keep her safe and warm in His Hands and that what he is doing right now.I will never forget Ashley.May her soul rest in piece
as an aspirant artist i absolutely looked up to her, some part of my dream is deferred. her presence, though, imparted a lot of profound lessons.
I was devastated to hear of Ashley's death; I was so hoping, and praying that she would pull through. May she rest in peace, and may her family, friends and fans take comfort in the knowledge that she is in a better place; but also that in her life and in her acting she contributed to this beautiful country of ours. Go well, beautiful sister…
My sincere condolences to the Callie family.. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult times..
It came as such a shock to me, she was an amazing actress and she is my idol..
She will be greatly missed
We are very sad that you left us soo soon. May your family find strength and may there find comfort in knowing that it is not only by flesh that we connect but by spirit as well. We all know that you are at a much better place.
Siyakuhlala sikukhumbula "Miss Lee"
I know I have left a couple of messages already, but I just wanted to add that I hope this website continues on. . . in honour of the special person that Ashley was.
My tears run down my cheeks everytime imagine you gone, your soul had touched my heart. It sadness me to realise that i will never see you again,,,,you were and will always be a lovely person,,God has truely taken one of his angels back to heaven,, life with out you on earth will definately be different….rest in peace and i know your beautiful smile shines upon us all
On hearing of the death of Ashley I felt a feeling
of profound loss,similar to that of losing a close
friend.She was the epitome of grace and can never
be replaced on screen or off.She was quite frankly
the hub of the wheel in Isidingo,the untouchable
princess in the ivory tower.Every time she came
on screen,which was not often enough,I found
myself catching my breath.She elevated grace and
etiquette to almost ephereal levels.
She will be sorely missed and without her the world will be a little bit more of a darker place.
Goodbye Ashley,and may your next life be a longer one
and your soul find it's true potential once again.
When I heard about Ashley's untimely death I felt as though I had lost a member of my own family. It is extremely sad to lose such a gifted South African. You may be gone but your incomparable memory lives on. You've left behind a legacy of excellence, and you've made me proud to be a South African. We will never forget you. We will miss you so much, but we'll never stop celebrating your life. May God always be with you. We love you so much.
When I heard about the Death of Ashley on Sabc 3 on Friday, I felt if I had also lost one of my own family members. I am a fan and will always be one, so rest in peace Ashley and may God always be with you and watch over you forever. I will miss you and without you the world will be a little darker.
To the Callie family, Isidingo cast and friends, my thoughts and prayers go out to you at this diffcult time.
Ashley, you will be missed so much.
Rest in Peace and We love you so much.
My dearest dearest Ashley..I rushed home every night so that I could watch Isidingo you were our 'Princess'
and will be missed so very much..My heart aches for your family but may they always remember your beautiful smile and know that you are looking down at them with that very smile..'Do not let your hearts be troubled..John4;1:3

I still think of Ashley so very, very often. Today we lost another beautiful young woman, a friend, to cancer.
This verse is for Ashley and all who passed way to early from this life. R I P
They do not leave, there are not gone,
They look upon us still,
They walk along the valleys now,
They stride upon the hill.
Their smile is in the summer sky,
Their grace is in the breeze,
Their memories whisper in the grass,
Their calm – is in the trees.
Their light is in the winter snow,
Their tears are in the rain,
Their merriment runs in the brook,
Their laughter in the lane.
Their gentleness is in the flowers,
They sigh in Autumn leaves,
They do not leave.
They are not gone …..
'Tis only we – who grieve.

Not only that, but we strive to give our patients the ultimate experience, providing nurse navigators to help answer any questions or concerns you may have prior to, during, or after your procedure. They are there to help you navigate pre-operative tests, hip surgery, therapy, and home recovery. Experience the Hoag Orthopedic Institute difference for yourself by calling today. Preparing for Your Total Hip Replacement Procedure Total hip replacement surgery (hip arthroplasty) may be an option for you if your hip has been damaged by arthritis, a fracture, or a deformity and non-operative procedures have been unsuccessful. If you have been experiencing hip pain and stiffness, or you have difficulty walking, putting on shoes and socks, or getting in and out of a chair, you may be a candidate for total hip replacement. This is a surgical procedure in which the ball and socket hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. By replacing your diseased hip joint with an artificial joint, this surgery can relieve your pain, increase motion, and help you get back to enjoying normal, everyday activities. If you and your doctor decide upon total hip replacement, your surgery will take place in one of Hoag's state-of-the-art operating rooms. The surgeons aligned with Hoag Orthopedic Institute are considered experts in mini-incision hip replacement, also known as minimally invasive surgery. This means that your procedure will only involve a small incision, designed to minimize muscle damage and blood loss. Overall, this is intended to lead to shorter hospital stays and shorter rehabilitation, as well as less visible scarring. Hoag Orthopedic Institute is also well-known for its acclaimed JointWorks program, where the latest advances in total hip replacement surgery are combined with patient education and rehabilitation. From the time your surgery is scheduled, a specific liaison nurse will answer your questions and help you navigate through your tests, your surgery, your physical therapy, and your recovery at home. This type of personal care is a part of Hoag Orthopedic Institute's commitment to a greater standard of service. It is one of the reasons more total hip replacements are performed at Hoag Orthopedic Institute than most other hospitals in California. What to Expect in the Recovery Process The speed of your recovery will depend on many factors, such as pre-operation fitness, age, weight, and the discipline your show in following your exercise routines. Hoag Orthopedic Institute's orthopedic dedicated physical therapists will help you begin your recovery by taking you through specific exercises to strengthen your hip and restore movement. Walking and light activity are important to your recovery and will begin the day of or the day after your surgery. Find an Orthopedic Surgeon Specializing in Total Hip Replacements.

Wii are Having Fun at Waveny
Posted on July 17, 2008
Photo Caption: Junior Volunteers and seniors alike enjoy the Nintendo® Wii gaming system at Waveny Care Network.
New Canaan – One of the hottest video game systems on the market is the Nintendo® Wii, and the participants of the Adult Day Program at Waveny Care Center couldn't agree more. Committed to embracing cutting-edge technology, Waveny recently integrated the innovative Nintendo® Wii gaming system into therapeutic recreation programming throughout its continuum of care.
Recently released by Nintendo®, the Wii video game console is designed to make interactive gaming accessible to people of all ages, skill levels and abilities by fusing the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of unique motion-sensing technology. A distinguishing feature of the system is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration and orientation in three dimensions.
Under the guidance of Waveny's Department of Volunteers and Department of Therapeutic Recreation, a recreational program was developed using the Wii to promote intergenerational connectivity by offering Junior Volunteers an additional opportunity to interact, share and engage with seniors through use of this new technology. The Junior Volunteers undertook the assignment of developing and implementing this new activity and have assumed responsibility for educating and instructing Waveny's seniors on the use of the gaming system.
Since the program focuses on promoting intergenerational interaction, positive experiences are gained by both groups. Specifically, Waveny's Junior Volunteers – a group that consists of more than 75 local youths ranging in age from 13 to 18 – benefit from the continual development of interpersonal, communication and leadership skills, self esteem, respect for others, team work, camaraderie, and the importance of purpose and community. In addition to providing important entertainment and social value, therapeutic benefits derived from the seniors' use of the Wii include improved fine and gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination, increased physical and social activity, cognitive stimulation, and an overall sense of confidence and feeling of having fun.
"Thanks to the intergenerational nature of this activity, our interactive Wii program is fast becoming a favorite pastime for all involved," said Dalila Gamarra, Director of Therapeutic Recreation. "Not only does the program benefit everyone, it has given us a unique opportunity to complement our more traditional recreational activities with cutting-edge technology, which has effectively given our programming a new look and new approach. Also, while serving in a teacher role, we've found the kids to be more relaxed and comfortable in assisting our seniors because they are engaging with them in a physical, fun, and casually competitive environment."
"I always assumed that video games were something only kids enjoyed," said Joan Van Alst, a participant in Waveny's Adult Day Program. "But I'm having so much fun using it with the help of these wonderful young people – I especially enjoy the sports games, particularly bowling and tennis, because it feels so realistic."
A grant to fund the equipment used in this program has been submitted to The Young Women's League of New Canaan whose charitable theme this year is "Children: Health, Opportunity, Purpose, and Education." Waveny's grant request is currently under consideration.
Waveny Care Network provides a comprehensive continuum of healthcare to serve the growing needs of older adults from all areas. Waveny is a not-for-profit organization that offers independent living at New Canaan Inn, assisted living for people with Alzheimer's and memory loss at The Village, and skilled nursing at Waveny Care Center. It also includes the Brown Geriatric Evaluation Clinic, a Geriatric Care Management team that provides 24-hour coverage, a newly expanded Adult Day Program, inpatient and outpatient Rehabilitation Services, and respite programs and hospice care at The Village and Care Center. For information call (203) 594-5200 or visit www.waveny.org.

Why do **photo** paper manufactures keep putting out old letterhead sizes like 8.5×11 sizes when all photo FRAMES are 8×10 and have been like FOREVER? Even my newly purchased Kodak super mega mirror finish super gloss HD paper i purchased was 8.5×11, i had no idea until i carefully cropped and printed an 8×10 digital photo and there was white blocks where i expected ink to be.
So Frame makers when are you going to realize that all cameras and paper manufacturers are at 8.5×11 ratios and sizes? When am i going to see 8.5×11 frames at target? Here is something else that is nuts…even Kodak Gallery .com only offers 8×10 enlargements but their own premium paper is 8.5×11??? Yikes.
There is lots of cropping and trimming going on. I bet at home craft trimmers sales have gone through the roof.
Come on! This one is easy…someone just make the switch! I vote for 8×10, although 8.5×11 is closer to 16×9…maybe we just need a widescreen paper size, so our photo screensavers on our TVs and Computer LCD screens will not be stretched. My mom will thank you for not making her look 30% wider.

Commonly, doctor will suggest you to take medication for your genital herpes treatment. However, that is not the only way because you are still possible to take some alternative treatment such as detailed below:
Warm water bath
Bath with warm water is even suggested by the doctor since it can help you to ease the discomfort feeling. Not only that, it is also helpful to reduce the pain and itchy. Just try to soak the affected area in warm water while keep it dry when it is not soaking. Use aluminum acetate or domeboro and magnesium sulfate or Epsom salts to the affected area. Clean the genital herpes sore with warm water and soap. Use towel or hair dryer when you want to dry after taking a bath.
Choose proper underwear material
Never ever try to wear tight clothing otherwise you will get torture with the pain and discomfort from your genital herpes sores. Choose underwear that is made from cotton rather than the synthetic one is a better choice to let your skin breathe easily.
Use topical anesthetic that suggested by the physician
Ask for your physician about topical anesthetic that you can apply on painful genital herpes ulcer. Even though this type of genital herpes treatment is not effective as the systemic treatment but it can relieve the pain and discomfort. Do not forget to consume over the counter medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen that can help you to ease the pain.
Apply ointment that contain propolis
Propolis often gained from beehives. Simply use ointment that contains propolis four times per day for 10 days and you will get faster lesion healing.
Try the rozites caperata mushroom and prunella vulgaris
Both of these herbs can help you to soothe the pain and heal faster.
Try the Echinacea
Echinacea is a kind of natural remedy. Ingested it as pressed juice, extract or tincture.

I Am Stronger
At first I felt hurt and ashamed. Maybe they're right, maybe I am just a silly jogger. Maybe wanting a tattoo or sticker for my car is stupid. There are so many out there who are much better than me, what right do I have boasting about what I've accomplished. Yeah. At first I felt that. Then I got pissed. Who the hell are they belittling others who are pushing themselves. Who the hell are they to berate others for stepping outside of their comfort zone and striving to make themselves more. Who the hell are they for calling us hobby joggers and lame triathletes with blogs who just don't f***ing get it.
I'll tell you who am I. I'm a badass hobby jogger with a blog who stepped out of her comfort zone and got off the effing couch and just finished her second half marathon. That's who I am. And if you don't like it, you can shut the eff up.
6 comments:
i'm sorry but "Believe me these people who think finishing an Ironman is badass and that finishing a half or marathon is really badass." yes, i do think these things are badass. when a full marathon puts you in less than 1% of the population? sure i paused for a picture with a child's play thing and a princess on the way. i'm still bad ass.ReplyDelete
U TELL 'EM GIRL! THEY'RE JUST HATERS! IT TAKES A LOT TO DO WHAT U DID, I CONGRATULATE U ON YOUR COURAGE. GET YOUR TATTOO, AND WEAR IT WITH PRIDE, I SURE WOULD! I'M GETTING MINE THIS WEEK. I HOPE U DON'T LET OTHERS TALK U OUT OF DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOURSELF TO HONOR YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT. LUV YA LOTS! CONGRATS AGAIN!ReplyDelete
PREACH IT GIRLFRIEND! :)ReplyDelete
So, where and when are you getting your tattoo? :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 30, 2011 at 7:43 AM
Oh sweetheart, don't be hurt and ashamed! You should be nothing but proud of what you are doing. People who belittle others like that have serious issues of their own - namely jealousy and insecurity. How about this - I got my husbands car when he got a new one and it has his 26.2 sticker on it...How excited do you think I will be to actually have that sticker represent me when I finish my marathon in May? Beyond that, we both have personalized plates that indicate we are runners. And guess what? You are a RUNNER....period....not a hobby jogger.ReplyDelete
You are the very definition of badass ;-) Go get your tattoo girlfriend and wear it loud and proud!!ReplyDelete

Mathematics and Individualism
The Ten O'Clock Scholar is applying transfinite mathematics to morality:
The Needs of the One outweigh the Needs of the Many, if human life is considered extraordinarly precious and valuable, in a counter-intuitive result!This can be taken even further. If each human being is a Proper Class, then it's an error to regard a human being as a member of a set. That means any kind of collectivism becomes impossible.
It's those who place some finite value on human life, that thus fall naturally into pure utilitarian calculations -- and this leads them to deeply anti-human results. Because if then something is Good for the Collective, then 49% percent of the people can be massacred with impunity by this philosophy!
And of course, that's exactly what happens.
But when a special sanctity is placed on human life, giving it essentially infinite value, then by the Cantorian arithmetic of infinities, losing a single life is an equally horrific tragedy as 100, both of infinite loss!

Best Ways to Cool Down Your Rental
While some solutions are obvious, most renters are unaware of the long list of options available. From changing lightbulbs to switching window shades, there are plenty of ways renters can keep their apartments cool when it's hot outside.
Here's a list of some of those options, from the cheap to the more expensive -- and with each solution we offer the pros, cons and approximate costs.
Simply unplugging unused appliances, computers, chargers, etc., gets rid of "phantom" loads that gobble electricity and product heat when they're plugged in. If this is too much to ask, turning off electronics and appliances that aren't being used can cut down your energy bill while cooling down your apartment.
- Pros: lower energy bills, good for the environment, opens your eyes to healthy/fulfilling activities
- Cons: bothersome, takes time/patience
- Costs: $0
- Payback: N/A
Close the gaps
If you have any gaps around your doors or windows, unwanted heat from outdoors might be sneaking into your apartment, and cool air from your air conditioner might be seeping out. Closing those gaps can be an easy way to keep your apartment a bit cooler during the hot summer months (and warmer during the winter), so ask your landlord to look into it.
- Pros: doesn't require much work on your part
- Cons: requires cooperation from your landlord
- Cost: $0
- Payback: N/A
Compact fluorescent lamps
Replace your old-fashioned incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent lamps "which provide comparable lumen output but consume much less heat-generating electricity," according to Terry Townsend, president of Townsend Engineering, Inc., and former president of ASHRAE. He says that this simple change, which surprises many who try it, cuts three-quarters of the heat generation during operation. Oh, and they're good for the environment.
- Pros: good for the environment, affordable, lower energy bills
- Cons: more expensive than traditional lightbulbs, might not fit all fixtures, may cause headaches
- Cost: $0-$50
- Payback: 1-2 years
Yes, plants can serve as a real way to help keep your apartment cool, and can also act as something of a placebo. Indoor plants that block windows during the day can serve as shade and help block out the heat. They can also be used to shade air conditioning units, which will use less energy as a result. Decorating with plants instead of rugs and carpets can also trick you into thinking that you feel cooler, so try that if you're in for getting duped -- in a good way.
- Pros: creates pleasing look and feel in your apartment, cleaner air
- Cons: might take up valuable room in smaller apartments
- Costs: $0-$50
- Payback: N/A
Close blinds/curtains
If your apartment has windows that let in the sun, close blinds or curtains when you're out during the day. Of course, this requires a good set of window shades to work. "I've lived in several apartments over the years and have found that one of the best ways to beat the heat is to get a good set of drapes and close them in the afternoon," says Kerry Taylor, who blogs about frugal living at Squawkfox.com. Insulated curtains with a white or heat-reflective color facing outdoors can also help keep the heat out of your apartment. Using cotton black-out shades worked for Cambria Bold, managing editor for Apartment Therapy Re-Nest. "It's made a considerable difference in bringing down the temperature of our apartment," she says. "When we get home from work, we pull them up to enjoy the light, and later in the evening if it's cooled down a bit, we'll open a window at the front and back of our apartment to circulate some air."
- Pros: small adjustment, relatively cheap
- Cons: requires not being forgetful
- Costs: $0-$100 (depending on need for curtains)
- Payback: 0-4 years
Portable fans are boring, but effective -- if used correctly. Plugging in a simple portable fan or turning on a ceiling fan helped Taylor survive hot temperatures. However, when used in a closed room or when an air conditioning unit isn't present, fans just blow hot air around the room. The key is to blow hot air out during the day (point fan outside), and bring cool air in at night (point fan inside). Fans used in conjunction with dehumidifiers are "especially effective," according to Townsend, who says that in Tennessee and Florida (where "weather conditions are comparable to a rain forest"), many individuals are surprised at how effective dehumidifiers are at lowering moisture and producing drier environments.
- Pros: can allow you to set higher thermostat set-points, brings about tangible coolness, uses less energy than an air conditioner, higher standard of living
- Cons: requires an investment, especially if you spring for fancier fans/dehumidifiers
- Cost: $25-$500
- Payback: 4-7 years
Air conditioners
This is, of course, the most obvious solution to a hot apartment. However, it might not be the most cost-effective or eco-friendly approach to your problem. If you go this route, make sure you know how big a unit you'll need for your apartment. Also, don't use a dehumidifier at the same time as your A/C unit, as it will force the unit to use more energy and work harder. Maintenance is also key for A/C units, especially for older ones. Make sure that air filters are in good shape, that freon isn't leaking, that it's set at proper levels, and that all gaps are closed between the unit and the window it's situated in.
- Pros: quick and easy, guarantees a cooler apartment
- Cons: not the most eco-friendly solution, potentially noisy, expensive
- Costs: $75+
- Payback: 5+ years

"W Grade" FAQs
Is a "W" bad on my transcript?
A "W" is not necessarily a bad thing to have on your transcript. Often, withdrawing from a course is a responsible decision students make so they can focus on their remaining credits and take the course during a different semester when they can focus more on the course. Once the W is filed, you stop attending the class so you can focus on the other classes in your schedule.
Multiple "W"s in a semester and throughout one's career may indicate to someone looking at your transcript that you may not be the best at following through and finishing what you started. Withdrawing from courses after tuition and financial aid has been calculated can also have effects.
Is it OK to drop this class?
Dropping a class is unique to most students' plan of study and financial situation, so you need to think through a few different things before dropping a class. Dropping a class is a good idea when you know you will not do as well as you hoped to do or need to for certain program requirements and allows you to focus on your remaining credits. However, here are a few things you should think about before dropping a class:
·How will dropping this class impact my plan of study?
Was the class a pre-requisite for others and delay other classes you planned to take?
When is the next time the class is offered?
Is there a limit to the number of times you can attempt or repeat the course?
These are all questions you will want to discuss with your advisor.
· How will dropping this class impact my financial aid?
Certain scholarships, loans, grants, and other sources of financial aid may be impacted
by the number of credits you are enrolled in and the date in which your credit load changes.
Contact Financial Aid to learn how dropping a course will impact your financial aid.
· The number of credits you have may impact your health or car insurance.
Contact your insurance provider to learn more about their policies regarding credit load for insurance coverage or discounts.
·Are you a student athlete?
Contact your coach or the Athletic Director to learn more about how dropping a class can impact your eligibility.

Over the past three years, Howard County General Hospital has built a new 48,000-square-foot, two-story addition adjacent to the existing emergency room facing Little Patuxent Parkway, adding approximately 40 treatment spaces in several areas of the hospital to increase overall capacity. The estimated project cost for this vital enhancement is $45 million. This expansion is expected to open in January of 2020.
- A new entrance, waiting area and evaluation area will help expedite patients' flow through the emergency room and hospital.
- A new inpatient psychiatric unit with approximately eight private and six semiprivate rooms with a bathroom and shower.
- A new observation unit adjacent to the emergency room will allow for shared management, greater efficiency and quicker patient transition making patient care more seamless and efficient.
- Additional treatment spaces for pediatric behavioral health patients will enable us to offer a protected and private setting for both children and adolescents/young adults.
- Expansion of the adult behavioral health unit.
- Renovation of older space made available by new construction will create a new general medical-surgical unit with additional beds for the hospital.
Both new construction and substantial renovations will enhance comfort, convenience, and ambiance for visitors and patients alike, while supporting high quality and increasing efficiency for care providers.

It was a whole pig with crisp brown skin and open mouth gripping a wrinkled red-brown apple. The pig's eyes were rolled back in its shriveled head. From where I sat, the pig's blank gaze seemed directed at me. The family hummed in excitement over the meat. Pig such as this was cause for celebration. It was just the thing to eat when it was dark outside and the moon was up. Someone carved into the meat. Someone divided the meat into pieces. Someone tore the meat. Slabs of pork dropped onto every dish. My piece was still pink, with a broken piece of off-white artery in its center. I poked at the artery with my fork."

48 Hour Corvette Comes To Life At NCM Motorsports Park: Video0
Sponsored Links
Ridetech came, and conquered. Just like the 48 hour Camaro build the team accomplished, Ridetech set out to build a track machine with a C3 Corvette of neglected stature. If you tuned in for the live broadcast of the build, you'd have seen a successful process. If you didn't tune in, we've provided a video of the car in action at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park.
With the help of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering's 650 hp, 427 cubic-inch LS7 engine and a host of other sponsors, the team was able to build and tune every major component on the car to deliver an outstanding build capable of clipping apexes all day long. The Corvette has been finished in yellow paint hue, aping the C7.R Corvette race cars, and one of the coolest touches on the car is the addition of custom "48 Hour Corvette" gauges, matching the exterior color perfectly.
The build was completed in three 16 hour shifts, allowing for a few moment of shut-eye, but ultimately this build was completed on blood, sweat, tears, dedication and we're sure more than a few cups of coffee.
Check out the Corvette as it does battle with a C7 Corvette Stingray around the NCM Motorsports Park, where it clearly makes a few very victorious laps.

A sliced egg and avocado smørrebød plus some (rather big) news
March 30, 2013 § 56 Comments
I went a little insane this last week. I went for a walk with the dog and didn't need to wear a hat. My face didn't feel cold at all. I knew intellectually that was possible, but I had actually kind of forgotten what that felt like. And I was like, "SPRING!!!!!"
So then I decided we were going to celebrate both Passover and Easter – Joel's background is Jewish and mine is Lutheran, so I figured we were allowed. We (ok, really it's me, but Joel goes along with it so well) are extremely attracted by events, holidays, and meals steeped in symbolism, and both Passover and Easter are ideal for this. In addition to planning big meals for each holiday, I also decided it would be best if we made all of our own matzoh and Easter candy homemade. No problem, right? Ha. I feel like my every spare moment has been in the kitchen, which I don't really mind. But, then my advisor finally sent me comments back on one of my dissertation drafts, so I was supposed to be editing that too. Oops.
But, so far, it's all been totally worth it. And as long as the lamb cake I'm currently baking comes out of the mold without its face falling apart, then I feel like we're ready to rock and roll.
It feels amazing to have my energy coming back because I've been pretty exhausted for the last couple months…Which brings me to our very big news. It, as you may have already guessed, has everything to do with an entirely different sort of, shall we say, baking project, with buns in ovens, and all. And I don't mean the hot cross kind.
That is to say, come late September we're expecting a new family member to join our little family!(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We couldn't be more thrilled. Or terrified, of course. « Read the rest of this entry »
Down to basics – the omelet
March 25, 2013 § 23 Comments
After I posted about my method for making creamy scrambled eggs, I received several requests asking whether I could write a similar post on making the perfect omelet.
The answer: most certainly! … Well, sort of.
The perfect omelet is a fitful, finnicky, tricky thing. It is said that you can judge the caliber of a chef by his or her plain roast chicken and his or her omelet. So, I knew that if I was to post about how to cook an omelet, I could not do so lightly.
So, I decided to put in a whole bunch of practice first.
On the whole, I'm relatively unpracticed at making omelets. Certainly if you compare with my practice in fried or scrambled eggs. I like eggs in nearly any preparation, but omelets are not at the very top of my list, so I don't make them as frequently as some other eggy delights. Actually, if I were to order how frequently I made different types of eggs, the list would be something like this:
- Fried eggs
- Baked eggs (most often baked plainly with just a drizzle of cream and maybe some herbs)
- Scrambled eggs (with or without lots of mix-ins)
- Poached eggs – Frittatas – this one's a tie
- Omelets
- Soft or hard boiled eggs (though, actually, I do absolutely love a soft boiled egg, if someone else prepares it for me)
- Other egg-based things like savory custards, stratas, souffles, etc.
So there you go. And I have now started the most boring conversation ever, listing egg preparation preferences. Or maybe it's actually one of the most interesting potential conversations ever. Your egg preferences may be like a personality barometer. Maybe it's an edible Myer's-Briggs! Do all other INFJs have the same egg preferences as me? Do ENTPs prefer scrambled eggs above all while ISTJs are omelet people? Feel free to discuss. « Read the rest of this entry »
Down to basics – Soft scrambled eggs
February 17, 2013 § 32 Comments
My dear friends, would you be up for bearing with me for just a moment so I can talk about scrambled eggs?
Plain old scrambled eggs. Not scrambled eggs with crisped asparagus or lacy pieces of prosciutto, not scrambled eggs with cheeses and meats and peppers and mushrooms. Not scrambled eggs with anything, except perhaps a helpful piece of toast. Just scrambled eggs. Soft scrambled eggs.
Scrambled eggs are a staple breakfast of mine, and it has occurred to me – given the many times I have been given not very good scrambled eggs – that this absurdly simple preparation, requiring only a few ingredients and minutes, can be quite tricky to pull off.
I think, like me, for many people the ideal of scrambled eggs is soft and creamy, a smooth pillowy mound of golden eggs with barely a curd to spear into. Eminently scoopable eggs, almost like a savory custard. But more often our eggs turn out dry, in large chunks. It's disheartening.
I didn't used to feel this way about scrambled eggs. When I was little, scrambled eggs were my favorite food, after any of the sweets we weren't allowed to eat, but I liked them cooked until totally hard and dry. Then I'd chop them into tiny pieces with my fork. I was weird.
When I was 6 or 7 I got into a huge argument about this with my grandmother, in fact. She explained to me that the proper way to cook scrambled eggs was to leave them partially uncooked and creamy. I insisted this was a disgusting and terrible idea. We faced off, dug our heels in, and neither of us would give an inch on our stance.
It was time that wore me down (happily). I began to prefer my yolks runny and my scrambled eggs soft, and it became a point of intense experimentation to try to achieve my new vision of scrambled egg perfection. « Read the rest of this entry »
Vanilla bean scones and lemon-tangerine curd
February 1, 2013 § 19 Comments
So, a couple of weeks ago I had this whole plan in my mind wherein I was not going to make or eat any sweets until Valentine's Day. Not because of any January, ascetic, resolution-y type of reason. I steer clear of food resolutions in general, and cleanses peeve me. They rub me the wrong way, I guess because I feel like they're a reflection of our national dysfunctional relationship with food. I know they're not trying to, but to me they send the message, "you can shove whatever you want into your body without paying attention all year long as long as you spend 2 weeks in January consuming nothing but juiced vegetables and wheatgrass," or whatever. Which you can't. You should eat cleanly all the time, and it should and can be incredibly enjoyable, and then also leave room for some good clean fun here and there (like nachos, hehe).
Anyhow, pardon the brief tirade, that's neither here nor there because the real reason that I was going to forego all sweets for any number of weeks was to create a giant buildup to a Valentine's Day treat to end all Valentine's Day treats. In spite of my usual relaxed attitude toward the holiday of love, this year, for whatever reason, it struck me as a fun idea to use it as an excuse to make something billowing, and chocolatey, and gooey, and basically hopelessly, ridiculously rich.
And, I suppose I still may, but a couple of things conspired against me in the last few days to send my plans into a tailspin. First, my dear husband told me that he was going to be out of town on Valentine's and the surrounding days for a consulting project he's working on. Insert sad face, but that hitch could be overcome by postponing our Valentine's celebration until he returned. But the second problem is, I lost my taste for chocolate.
I know: What???!!! Right? It's completely ridiculous. Who goes from being a devotee of chocolate in all its most intense forms, mousse, sorbet, midnight dark bars, dense flourless cakes, to being slightly put off by the very thought of it? Who???? Sadly, me.

How are we already more than a week into January? Can someone please explain to me how that happened?
Around mid-November through mid-December I was so happy because I'd really found a rhythm, a productive and interesting but soothing rhythm, to my days. I was finally comfortable enough to put 2012 into cruise control and start admiring the scenery.
Then 2013 came barging in and it totally threw off my groove. The toddler-like newness of the year must be contagious because I'm stumbling about a bit trying to regain my stride. I suppose I should respect the newness and not try so hard for broad, efficient striding at all.
Transitions, good or bad, they're always a little tricky and tiring. Not the least of the reasons for which being that the crack in the earth is open and naughty daemons are wandering around making mischief in our lives and of our immune systems. (Especially our immune systems! Sniff, wheeze, cough. More chicken soup please.)
But, the threshold has been crossed, and once you're over you can look back, but you can't go back. Not with any amount of kicking or screaming or clinging to the doorframe. What's back there has been digested (hopefully well) and given strength to now, and now off we go to the next now and onward! « Read the rest of this entry »
Poached eggs with sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts

I have a major breakfast thing people. It's pretty weird.
I mean, I knew I had a breakfast thing before – I've brought it up more than a few times, for example every time I mention breakfast – but I don't think I knew knew. If you know what I mean. You know?
But now I know. When I commandeered the whole breakfast-making procedure at my best friend in Boston's house – where I was the guest, mind you – and started turning out frittatas with arugula and over easy eggs with a brown butter vinegar sizzle, that's when I really knew.
It may be Monday or Thursday, I may have a meeting at 8 am, but still I find myself compulsively fixing breakfast for myself and whomever else I can shake out of bed. Plates of migas, fried eggs with kimchi and orange aioli, potato cakes with smoked salmon, honey-avocado lassis, fresh baked corn bread with homemade ricotta. I may not be able to plan out my lunch, potentially not even dinner, but breakfast is likely to be a minor masterpiece.
I'd say it was a problem, if it weren't so delicious! « Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't have been a pastry chef.
In general, I like to think of myself as more of a cook. I find some self-satisfaction in my inaccurate – or more appropriately, unprecise – stirring together of a pinch of this and a handful of that until I've made a meal of it. I don't think of myself as precise enough for baking and pastries.
And yet…And yet, at the end of a very long week, a week where – let's just say hypothetically – the workdays have been 12 hours long and the brain has taken the spirit captive, I find that precision is what I want. The precision is a respite.
Structurelessness can be a tyrant, and precision and strict guidelines can actually offer solace. In those moments, I take comfort in measuring an exact teaspoon and a half or creaming for exactly three minutes.
I also love pastries for their sheer un-utilitarian-ness. Sometimes when there's a lot to do, the wise decision is to make those calls or do that laundry, to stop avoiding and cross some things off your list. But sometimes the wise decision is instead to do something that delights you, that has nothing to do with the list.
You don't need sweets in your life, to be sure, but I think sometimes you do need little things that are "just because," that aren't necessities for the body, but may be for the soul. Life needs to contain both basics and beauty, both bread and roses, or perhaps both stews and pâte feuilletée. « Read the rest of this entry »

Right now I know you want to know what I'm smoking. You think I've lost my senses. Why should I express gratitude for my abusers? Well here are 5 things you need to thank your abusers for. You'll thank me at the end too!
Moving on…..
Let's talk about the abuse first, shall we?
I dunno, do we have to? Do you really need to know how I was physically abused by my parents, or how my husband thought it would be good idea to rape me after I threw his sorry butt out of our house? I mean, do you really need to know how many more boyfriends abused me physically, emotionally and verbally? The fact that one of my best friends stole $1000 from me while I was on my way to my new life in Guatemala, is that necessary to talk about?
Do we need to talk about it? Of course we do. Just not in full gory details. I mean, who needs to hear all that bull anyway? But we need to know of the abuse I suffered to get the full meaning of the forgiveness I've given each and every one of them, why I express gratitude for them and why you should too.
Express gratitude, it's really beautiful.
It's so beautiful. Really and truly it is and if you haven't completely forgiven anyone, then you don't know what you're missing. With forgiveness comes peace, love, freedom and gratitude.
How's that you wonder? Lemme explain. I've never had more gratitude and love in my heart in my whole life. All thanx to my abusers. (she's lost her marbles clearly) Here are 5 things I have to thank them for:
For showing me how not to act.
Man you guys are jerks. Sheesh. No really in all seriousness. Nice loving people don't treat others poorly. Plain and simple. Only jerks do that. So you've spent a better part of your life giving me Life Lesson #1 –
Don't be mean to people.
Thanx for that! It took me a little while to learn that lesson though but I finally got it! Yay me.
Thank you.
So much love, I can't even stand it.
The love I have in my heart never ceases to amaze me. Some days I wonder how it never busts out of my chest. For real! You know, the power of forgiveness really is mindblowing. Once I decided it was time to forgive you all and release you, well, you'd think the heavens parted every cloud in the sky and just poured love down on me.
I loved every drop of it. What you did to me showed me how to forgive and open my heart to goodness.
Thank you!
Jerk Alert!!
Oh man I can smell one a mile away. No guff. Spending my whole life with liars, cheaters, bullies, narcissists and abusers gave me this superb ability to sniff them out quickly. It's like there's this neon light flashing right over their heads but only I can see it. I'm glad I have that superpower now. What I do with it, still needs to be worked out a little bit.
Now that I know when one of "your type" is near, I can hold my head up high, smile and walk away.
Thank you.
Watch me grooooooow!!!
My, how I've grown. I have learned so much in the past 52 years of my life, all thanx to you guys. I feel like I'm such a strong woman. So brave, so strong, always smiling and mostly just walking around all happy and proud.
Can you believe that thanx to you I've grown, and continue to grow more beautiful every day? I know, it's crazy right? You see, I still have triggers every now and then, and I have to be brave, deal with them, learn how to handle them and then send them away. Yay me!!
Thank you.
Oh, Great Wise One.
You're not even gonna believe this but because of you guys, and all the crap you put me through, and all the healing I went through to deal with it, I can now actually teach, help and inspire people around the world. Boom!!!
I love this one. If it wasn't for you guys, well what would be my special gift to the world?
Because of you I've started my own website and Facebook page (and my page is doing pretty good actually). I reach between 2-5 million people every week with inspirational and motivational messages. Because of all the abuse I suffered at your hands, I can now help millions around the world. (that still blows my mind!!)
Thank you!
So you see, my life isn't as horrible as you might like it to be. I'm actually doing pretty good considering. Thank you.
Can you sort of understand now why I express gratitude to all the abusers in my life. If it wasn't for them and the crap I went through I wouldn't be where I am today..
A toast to all of you!! Cheers.
Peace and Love

Story time with Nathan and Adam
Adam and Nathan. They have taught us so much in this past six months. In their wide eyes we see how amazing the world can be. Rain on the car window, a water ring on the table, a cold glass of ice, shadows on the ground- these things all went unnoticed until these guys came around. We also have remembered how funny things are. Things like Mom trying to dance, and the look on Dad's face when he makes a funny sound. But there is nothing funnier than Mom walking down the steps with 2 car seats, one diaper bag, and one very un-trained dog on a leash. These are moments to enjoy. And yes, they are twins. No they are not identical. As to the sweet and well-intentioned question of how I do it -the question is how did I do it before they were here.

First off, congratulations to the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, out of Jacksonville, Alabama, for being the first team to clinch a bid to the 2017 NCAA men's basketball tournament! They did so by defeating Tennessee-Martin in the Ohio Valley Conference's championship game last night.
As I wrote yesterday, we are likely to have plenty of teams win their conference in the regular season but lose in the conference tournament and fail to receive an at-large bid. Yesterday's victim of the Madness was Oakland. After winning the Horizon League's regular season title, the Grizzlies were stunned by Youngstown State's buzzer-beating layup, falling by a final score of 81-80. To make the Horizon League tournament even crazier, the second place team from the regular season, Valparaiso, lost as well.
Now, let's get into today's Bubble Watch. Here's how I see it right now:
Safely In: Seton Hall (20-10, 10-8, current 9 seed) has achieved "safely in" status with an impressive win at Butler yesterday. The Pirates won't be left out of the field now regardless of how they perform in the Big East tournament. Providence (20-11, 10-8, current 9 seed) has also punched their ticket. With their win at St. John's yesterday, the Friars finished the Big East regular season on a 6-game winning streak that included wins against Butler, Xavier, and Marquette, and at Creighton. Finally, it's very hard to see Arkansas (23-8, 12-6, current 10 seed) or Marquette (19-11, 10-8, current 10 seed) being left out at this point. Both have several quality wins and fairly strong metrics.
Likely In, but work to do: This category includes VCU (24-7, 14-4, current 10 seed), Michigan State (18-13, 10-8, current 10 seed), Wake Forest (19-11, 9-9, current 11 seed) and Xavier (19-12, 9-9, current 11 seed). Right now, these are the last four at-large teams receiving a bye (meaning they don't have to play in the First Four). All of these teams could use a win or two in their conference tournaments to seal the deal.
Michigan State is an interesting team here. They have several quality wins already, including a sweep of Minnesota, home wins against Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Michigan, and a neutral court win against Wichita State. But their next loss will bring them to the dreaded 14, a number that makes it very hard to receive an at-large bid. A win at Maryland yesterday would have sealed the deal for the Spartans, but now they may need to win at least their opening round game in the Big Ten tournament.
Could go either way: This category includes the Last Four In – Southern California, Illinois State, Vanderbilt, and Syracuse.
Southern Cal and Illinois State are nowhere near the loss cutoff, but both could use another quality win (for Illinois State, that would mean beating Wichita State in today's Missouri Valley Conference championship game). Vandy picked up a great home win against Florida yesterday, giving them the season sweep of the Gators, but they are sitting at 14 losses and no team has ever gotten an at-large bid with 15 losses. They might need to get all the way to the finals of the SEC tournament to seal an at-large bid. Finally, Syracuse had an impressive blowout win over Georgia Tech yesterday, but they sit at 13 losses and several of them are of the bad variety. The Orange also have a woeful 1-8 road record and an RPI of 79, neither of which bode well.
Also included here are the First Five Out – Kansas State, Rhode Island, Utah, California, and Iowa. Kansas State and Syracuse are neck and neck for the last at-large spot right now, but I gave the nod to Syracuse because of a couple more quality wins. Rhode Island actually dropped out of the field, being replaced by Syracuse, after a 3-point overtime win at home against a weak Davidson team. Utah needs a quality win in the Pac-12 tournament. California is sinking fast, following up their blowout 30-point loss at Utah on Thursday night with a borderline bad loss at Colorado by 8 points yesterday. Finally, Iowa has several quality wins but sits at 13 losses, along with an RPI number of 76. Just as with Syracuse, these figures don't bode well.
Hanging on by a thread: Ole Miss, Indiana, Illinois, Houston, and Georgia. All of these teams need to reach the finals of their conference tournaments to have a shot at an at-large bid.
Ole Miss picked up a nice win over South Carolina yesterday, which got my attention and caused me to move them up several seed lines, ahead of teams who have been eliminated from at-large consideration. Still, their only other quality win is at Vanderbilt and they currently sit at 19-12. It would be tough to get in with that resume. Indiana is still in it, even with 14 losses, thanks to wins over two current 1 seeds (North Carolina and Kansas) earlier in the year. But that will only take them so far. Illinois had a terrible loss at Rutgers yesterday that puts them on the thinnest of ice. Houston and Georgia are technically still alive but as with the others in this category, do not have strong enough resumes right now to be in the field.
Bubbles Burst: Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Texas Tech, TCU. Ohio State, Georgia Tech, and TCU all have 14 losses now. As you know, no team has made the field yet as an at-large with 15 losses, and none of these teams have the resume to be the first. Alabama and Texas Tech sit at 13 losses, but Alabama has several bad losses and Texas Tech has an RPI of 103. Consider these bubbles burst.
With all that said, here is today's projection. As always, moves up or down since yesterday are in parentheses after the team's name, and projected automatic qualifiers are in bold.

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce we are now representing Samantha Haring! Haring's pieces are intimate meditations on life in the studio. Focusing on overlooked details of her surroundings, she explores an environment rife with traces of past experiences. Whether it be drips of paint, balled-up tangles of tape, or scuffed wooden floorboards, Haring elevates the remnants of a previous time and a previous self. These forgotten corners and abandoned objects serve as a metaphor for the imprints people leave behind on each other and on the world.
Haring's work, with muted tones and soft marks, provides moments of quiet, reflection, and solitude in a fast-paced and noisy world. Despite the emptiness or discarded feel of her scenes, she avoids meloncholy by exploring the duality of presence and absence. The pieces buzz with the excitement of possibility, or the satisfaction of hard work. Mundanity is reexamined and brought to life. An illusion is exposed: even in silence, there is a tremendous amount of noise.
Samantha Haring has exhibited nationally, including at the Elmhurst Art Museum, Rockford Art Museum, Zhou B. Art Center, Parenthesis Art Center, and Art NXT Level Projects. She was awarded the MAR Manifest Artist Residency in 2015. She has an MFA from North Illinois University, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and studied at the International School of Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture in Umbria, Italy. Haring lives and works in Cincinnati, OH.

How interesting that artists are so often attempting to paint what is outside, or Ms. Haring meditates on the "perfect imperfections" that are right in front of her each day... Genius. Amazing work. Thank you.
