I really like this bed. It was time consuming to assemble, but it looks great. It is VERY heavy so get it in place as you assemble it. One person cannot move it and if you aren't careful when you move it you will rack the bed and it takes forever to get it squared up. I love the drawers. The only other con is that the edges are very sharp and that's okay if you are an adult, but my son has scuffed hi shins on the bed climbing on the bed. They would do well to soften the edges. Otherwise, it is all I could have wished for. Definitely a great bed for the price.

I love this bed...if it worked. We bought it for the 6 draws for storage, but when we put it together the wood cracked because it is so cheap and now we have 6 USELESS draws! I'm very upset considering this is the only reason why we bought it, but its to big and to much of a pain to pack up and return.

Some Historians believe that the dinosaurs were killed by a meteorite. In fact the extinction of the dinosaurs was brought on when a tyrannasaurus rex made the mistake of making direct eye contact with Chuck Norris. The roundhouse kick unleashed caused massive ammounts of dust to cover the sky while he hunted the rest of the dinosaur. He then made love with 144 cavewomen to populate the earth. Mess with Chuck Noris and you will meet an untimely death.

Male and Female Arousal is Different
For guys, arousal can hit like a freight train, either out of the blue or because he spotted a hot girl in a bandage dress. For women, though, a picture of a sexy, shirtless guy usually isnt enough to jump-start the love-machine. Womens libidos are different in that they need to be prompted first, says Ian Kerner, PhD, author of She Comes First. This explains why its not enough to start kissing her neck and hope for the best.
Your move: Seduce her all day long
Start in the morning. Tell her how sexy she is. Give her small kisses on her cheek, her lips, the back of her neck as shes getting ready, or when shes on her way out the door. Throughout the day, let her know youre thinking of her. And at night, when you see her again, hug her, give her a deep kiss, and ask about her day. The more nurtured and adored she feels, the more likely she is to wanna get it on.

At the heart of the Christian Easter is a cross, a symbol used by Christians to highlight the centre-point of their faith. The cross is a reminder of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, crucified on a cross 2,000 years ago. It's a shocking symbol, an instrument of Roman torture and agonising death. It draws our attention to a God-man-saviour, prepared to give his life for us.
That's where it gets hard. What if the biblical account is true? Can I dare myself to believe it? What if Jesus really was the Son of God? Could he really love someone as messed up as me? I can only draw one conclusion. If this story is true, the cross cries out in the starkest possible terms that no matter who we are or what we have done, we really matter to God.
And there is more hope. Easter Sunday marks an equally remarkable event. This Jesus who died is raised by God. Miraculously, he is brought back to life and, what is more, promises us life over death by trusting in him. He offers us light, life and hope in the midst and beyond the dark deaths and despair we may face in life, psychological, emotional and physical.
So that's where I place my faith. Not in my weak and inconsistent efforts to be a good person, a clever person, an interesting or adventurous person. I know what I'm really like inside. Amazingly, God is never disillusioned with me because he never had any illusions in the first place. I place my faith in Jesus. If the Bible is true, he truly deserves my life.

After 2,184 miles, hiker and former Quad/Graphics employee completes Appalachian Trail
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Ryan Simko left a secure job at Quad/Graphics to spend 5-1/2 months enduring all kinds of adversity, from rattlesnakes to bone-chilling rain.
The 28-year-old recently finished hiking the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Mount Katahdin, Maine.
As the 2,184 miles wound down, with no career plans in place, Simko began pondering what he'd do after reaching his destination. When that moment finally arrived, only one thing made sense.
"We kept hiking," he said, smiling.
If bears, ticks and the mental strain of life on the trail weren't enough, he decided to descend Mount Katahdin via the precipitous Knife Edge route, with 2,000-foot sheer drops.
"That's why we did it," he said. "It's an adrenaline rush."
For most of his early life, Simko didn't pursue extremes. One of his first outdoor adventures was a Grand Canyon hike with his father, Ron, in 2006.
Shortly afterward, he moved to Saratoga Springs to work for Quad/Graphics.
"I'd never heard of the Adirondacks," said Simko, an Indiana native. "I don't know how I missed a 6 million-acre state park."
One day, on his own, he decided to climb two of the High Peaks — Cascade and Porter. Continued...
"I was instantly hooked," he said. "I made a lot of new friends and did more and more hiking."
A couple of years ago, one of them asked if he'd be interested in joining a group headed to Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. "We saw the sunrise from the summit on New Year's Day 2011," he said.
After Quad/Graphics transferred him to California, Simko and a couple of college buddies went to Yosemite National Park together and began talking about doing the Appalachian Trail. After months of planning, they started out March 8.
"Should I really be doing this?" Simko asked himself. "Finally, we just decided if we're not going to do it now, we may never do it."
In Southern Virginia, he encountered several inches of late spring snow; in Pennsylvania, a trio of black bears. However, small adversaries were sometimes the worst.
"We had to do tick checks constantly," Simko said. "You can see a bear and scare him off. Ticks can be hiding anywhere. I found 21 of them on me one day. There's a huge risk of Lyme disease."
But none of this compared to the sheer drudgery at times of hiking through an endless green tunnel of trees, usually averaging more than 20 miles per day.
"I hit a wall at one point," he said. "I remember telling this one lady we met, 'I don't know if I can do this another four months.' She told me, 'Just get through tomorrow.' That got me through a lot of tough days."
The farther north he got, the more state lines he began crossing — New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts — a huge morale booster as his ultimate goal drew closer.
Simko's favorite experience during the whole trek was hiking above timber line in New Hampshire's White Mountains Presidential Range, including Mount Washington. From there, he only had a few weeks to go. Continued...
He reached the trail's northern terminus Aug. 27, just in time for the sunrise.
"It was like a flood of emotions," Simko said. "Happy, super excited to be there, unsure of what's next because I didn't have a job lined up."
Someday he'd like to hike the Pacific Coast and Continental Divide trails.
"Becoming a Triple Crowner would be cool," he said.
Career-wise, all Simko knows is that he wants something that allows him to be active and outdoors.
The most important thing the Appalachian Trail taught him is that it's good to have a long-range goal, but that hiking — like life — has many unexpected twists and turns. Quite often, there is no way to prepare for them.
However, this year's odyssey has given Simko the confidence that he can handle most things that come his way.
One thing he knows for sure.
"If you sit around, you're never going to get to Maine," he said. Continued...

Not Just the Holidays Making for a Big Day at Fed-Ex
By: Jay Dillon
Updated: December 11, 2012
FedEx Shipping
The shipping retailer's busiest day of the year was Monday. But it was also the busiest day in the company's history. FedEx estimated it handled 19 million packages, or 200 packages a second on Monday. December 10th, was known as "Green Monday" for all of the money people spend. It's when many online purchases work their way through retailers' systems and hit the mail. UPS and the Postal Service both say their busiest days are still ahead of them.
Ian Mckellan
Fresh off of his role in The Hobbit, the British actor is talking about reprising his role of Magneto in X-Men Days of Future Past. Meanwhile, Professor X, or Patrick Stewart, has also signed on. The two were not included in X-Men First Class, which starred James Mcavoy and Michael Fassbender as younger versions of themselves. So will Magneto and Professor X battle in the next movie? Nobody's talking yet.
Jenni Rivera
The United States is sending crash experts to Mexico to help in the investigation into the plane crash that killed the Latin singer. The National Transportation Safety Board says its investigators will help the Mexican government. The learjet with seven people on board went down Sunday afternoon in a mountainous area in northern Mexico. The Mexican news agency, Notimex, is reporting that the learjet that crashed was 43-years-old. According to NTSB records, the plane suffered substantial damage in a 2005 accident in Texas.
The Grammy-Award-winning singer is teaming up with Pepsi. According to a news release from the soft drink giant, part of the deal involves a new can for the fizzy stuff. It also involves new music, digital promotions and commercial ads. The company says it's excited about the agreement and looking forward to working with Beyonc. The new Pepsi can featuring the singer is expected to debut in Europe next March.
The global banking giant will pay a record $1.9 billion to settle U.S. allegations that the bank ignored red flags pointing to money laundering. It's the biggest fine ever against a bank by the U.S. government. A senate report earlier this year claimed that the HSBC Mexico unit shipped $7 billion in cash to its U.S. affiliates. The money is believed to be tied to Mexican drug cartels and banks linked to terrorism. But the nearly $2 billion fine isn't going to cripple HSBC. one analyst says the bank will earn back that much cash in just 41 days.

Author Robert Jackson Bennett and the cover of his novel 'American Elsewhere'. (Josh Brewster / Orbit Books) |
The town of Wink, N.M., doesn't appear on any official map, the moon as seen from its streets has a pinkish hue, and very odd things lurk beneath the charm of its old-fashioned façade. The exact nature of those lurking things, human and otherwise, is chronicled by Shirley Jackson Award winner Robert Jackson Bennett in his at times horrifying and yet strangely beautiful new novel "American Elsewhere." The book remains ambiguous about whether we're reading supernatural fiction, science fiction, or fantasy for a long time but then delivers mind-blowing answers.
When Latina ex-cop Mona Bright inherits a house in Wink after the death of her estranged father, she embarks on an exploration of the town. The existence of the house, which belonged to her mother, Laura Alvarez, a long-ago suicide, makes Mona reevaluate everything she thought she knew about her past. She also learns to her surprise that Alvarez might have worked at the nearby Coburn National Laboratory and Observatory — abandoned after a terrifying lightning storm in the late 1970s that changed Wink forever.
It doesn't take long for Mona to realize Wink is no ordinary place. The hotel clerk Parson appears to be playing checkers against an invisible opponent and has an odd contraption in his basement. At a luncheon thrown by the town's court officer, the elderly Mrs. Benjamin, the host shows her a "weird magic trick" with two mirrors that seems to create impossible duplicates of real objects.
As the reader learns more about Mrs. Benjamin, other strange inhabitants and Wink's forbidden zones, a somewhat wry Bennett line like "It is hard to mistrust an old lady covered in mud" seems less funny than sinister. Because in Wink, you most definitely should mistrust old ladies, whether covered in mud or not.
You should also look askance at the veneer of normalcy. In a chilling scene, a housewife's high heels fill with blood as she stands for hours repetitively asking her husband, who is tinkering with the family car, if he wants lemonade. The husband works on his back under the car for so long that he develops bedsores — all the while mindlessly attaching toasters and other useless things to the engine.
These kinds of grotesque parodies of ordinary middle-class life provide a major clue about the forces that have taken over the town. As he roves between character viewpoints, Bennett's genius is in recognizing how such small yet startling moments add real pathos while also advancing the plot.
The slow discovery of the truth about Wink and the peculiar yet compelling portraits of the strange townsfolk are fascinating enough. But Mona's appearance in Wink signals that things are changing, possibly forever. Accelerating these changes are missions run by a bordello owner and drug runner named Bolan. He works for a blood-chilling invisible client who communicates, creepily, via a broken stock ticker and forces him to murder a supposedly immortal member of the community.
In the novel's most frightening scenes, Bolan's underlings also must retrieve "fleshless, bleached" rabbit skulls housed in little boxes so heavy that even strong men stagger from the weight. Worse, they might not be skulls at all but instead presage the arrival of an intruder who could devastate Wink.
Few novels about uncanny forces manage to sustain their initial intensity or to offer satisfying answers because it's hard for readers to suspend their disbelief of patently impossible things for so long. But to its credit, when "American Elsewhere" falters a bit toward the end it's not really about the quality of the revelations so much as the method of their presentation. By the time Mona comes close to unraveling Wink's secrets, the reader has already put together large pieces of the puzzle. So when one of Wink's inhuman residents, Mr. First, appears to Mona via a movie screen to explain a few things, there's not just a static quality to reading about Mona sitting there — we also already know part of what we're being told.
Once past these scenes, however, the novel rights itself and regains some of its former power. The ultimate showdown between various factions is truly titanic and unique; it lacks the personal, lived-in quality of the rest of the novel but makes up for it in scale.
"American Elsewhere" conjures up echoes of the best works of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King. Among its many virtues, Bennett's convincing portrayal of Mona may be his greatest accomplishment. This strong yet flawed woman drives the novel's success. When she pistol-whips a very large man, we feel both her competence and the weight of the act. During a tension-filled exploration of the eerie abandoned laboratory and observatory, we fully experience her fear and her levelheaded determination under duress.
In large part because of Mona, and despite a few hiccups, "American Elsewhere" manages to surprise, terrify and move the reader.

Welcome to the Department of Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Engineering (MSVE)
Welcome to the website of the Department of Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Engineering (MSVE) at Old Dominion University. Here you will find information about the department's academic programs, faculty, research activities, facilities and current activities.
The MSVE Department offers an undergraduate four-year degree program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Modeling and Simulation Engineering (BS-M&SE). The department also offers programs of graduate study leading to the degrees Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Doctor of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in Modeling and Simulation. The department's academic programs are coupled with a strong department research program conducted jointly with researchers from the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC). Research activities range from investigation of fundamental modeling and simulation methods and technologies to applications of modeling and simulation in the domains of medicine and health care, transportation, education and gaming, science and engineering, homeland security and defense, and business enterprise decision support.
The MSVE Department is located on the first floor of the E. V. Williams Engineering and Computational Sciences Building on the Old Dominion University Norfolk Campus. In addition to the department and faculty offices, this facility also houses several instructional and research laboratories, a virtual reality theater, and a four-walled C.A.V.E. (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment). A significant resource to the department is the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center located adjacent to the University's Tri-Cities Higher Education Center in Suffolk, Virginia. VMASC occupies a two-story 60,000 square foot building designed to support state-of-the-art research in modeling, simulation and visualization. Some of the center's facilities are used in the department's educational programs; in addition, VMASC researchers teach courses and mentor students in the department's academic programs.
Old Dominion University was the first to offer the Ph.D. in modeling and simulation in 2000. We now are the first to establish an academic department and to offer an undergraduate engineering program in modeling and simulation. We welcome you to our website and look forward to working with you in the exciting discipline of modeling and simulation.


text: One of the most important moments in someones life is marriage. The events that lead up to marriage are very important but those that occur just after the marriage are just as important. The honeymoon in particular is more like a get away that will give both newly weds a chance to be alone, away from the prying eyes and inquisitive ears of the public. This is why honeymoon resorts are a great destination for any newly wed couple. Most Honeymoon Resorts are designed in such a way that as much as they serve the local population quite sufficiently, they are also very attractive to visitors and they usually make people feel at home no matter how far away they come from. The idea is to give the newly weds the feeling of being away from everybody else and alone with themselves. Most people tend to go for honeymoon resorts that are not within their local area simply because they want to go to a whole new place and go through entirely new experiences. However, some other people prefer to keep within their local area and therefore opt for honeymoon resorts closer to home. Honeymoon resorts have all kinds of activities, events and items going on and they will keep any newly wed couple full of smiles and will fuel the adrenalin rushing through their veins. Some of these resorts offer sporting activities like golf and skiing, water rafting and camping and those that are lucky to be located out in the wild offer animal park viewing as well as bird watching. All this is supposed to give newly weds the best and most memorable time of their lives.

Reviewer's Note: Before this review was published, Axiom Audio contacted me to say that they'd measured the review sample after I returned it and found it to be defective.
Audioengine is the darling of the desktop audio set, producing mostly small, affordable powered speakers that tend to be used on desks and credenzas. The P4 is the company's sole passive speaker, with a 0.75-inch silk-dome tweeter, a 4-inch Kevlar-cone woofer, and a front-slotted cabinet. At 9 inches high, it's the second most compact model in this roundup.
Wireless is, uh, in the air these days. Audio, video, telecom, and most everything else up to and including war-making are all proceeding nicely without any lengths of braided copper trailing behind. But too much of the time, this is more about wireless-ness than about what happens when the signal gets wherever "there" is. (Unless, that is, you have the misfortune to be riding in a car in the mountains of northern Pakistan…)
Not this time. And the rather unexpected reason is a new family of wireless speakers dubbed Xeo from Dynaudio, the Danish loudspeaker (and transducer) maker that is as widely respected in the hushed confines of pro audio as in the rough-and-tumble of high-end hi-fi.
Monitor Audio have covered most of the speaker bases, from traditional towers and surround setups to miniscule desktop companions and docks, so it's no surprise that they've decided to enter the burgeoning wireless audio arena.
Home theater nuts can never have enough subwoofers. But the average household isn't run by a home theater nut. Usually, the decisions about what goes into the living room are made by someone for whom audio gear is only slightly more welcome than cockroaches. For that person, even one sub may be too many.
Atlantic Technology built its PowerBar 235 soundbar precisely for households split by the conflict over good sound versus bulky audio gear. The PowerBar 235 is one of only a couple of soundbars designed to deliver satisfying bass response without a subwoofer.
Everybody loves small speakers, and why not? Smaller is — often — easier to afford, easier to schlep home, easier to place, and easier to live with. Smaller also has certain acoustical advantages in achieving smooth response and in yielding the broad, even spread of sound that favors good imaging and an open, believable tone color.
But how small is too small? Some say there's no limit, and at least one manufacturer (Bose) has had success with subwoofer/satellite designs whose sats are smaller than a pepper mill, let alone a breadbox. But as the front satellites of a speaker system become smaller, their ability to reproduce bass low enough to bridge effectively with the practical upper limits of a single subwoofer, at around 150 Hz (and ideally lower), becomes questionable.
Klipsch thinks it has found the sweet spot with its HD Theater 600 system
Another day, another wireless speaker, right? We're pretty much much drowning in post-docks here at S+V these days, and aside from preferred protocol (AirPlay, DLNA, Bluetooth, pick your poison), most of these little guys have started to seem just a tad samey-samey.
Never underestimate the power of a good demo. There's some sort of magic mix of twisting expectations and cleverly revealed reality that sticks with the audience for years. Bose gets this, with their "but it's just these small speakers!" reveal. Pioneer nailed it with the "this TV is also on" KURO demo.
DTS might have done it with their Headphone X demo at CES.
We know Velodyne for their subwoofers, and lately, headphones. This isn't all they do, though.
They also love robots.
Self-guided, thinking, driving, car-sized robots.
While everyone on the floor is showing off tiny, tinny little Bluetooth speaker docks, NYNE is making a bold statement with the new NH-6800. This gorgeous stand-alone speaker system features Bluetooth with apt-X and AAC, and it's also one of the first systems that will feature a Lightening connection for the new Apple product line.
Audiophiles know Sonus Faber as the creator of beautiful speakers handcrafted in Italy. The very name is Latin for "artisanal sound." But as anyone who has ever visited Whole Foods Market knows, "artisanal" usually means "expensive" — and indeed, Sonus Faber speakers have always been expensive. Until now.
KEF made the LS50 minispeaker for lots of reasons. It's a celebration of the company's 50th anniversary. It's the first affordable application of the technology developed for the $29,999/pair Blade. It's a throwback to the LS3/5a, a beloved, BBC-designed minimonitor for which KEF made the drivers.

Safe at School
For a student using insulin, diabetes must be managed 24/7, including the many hours spent at school, on field trips and in extra-curricular activities.
Some families can send their child with diabetes to school in the morning and feel confident that the school will be prepared to provide the diabetes care that meets their child's needs. Other families worry that their child won't have access to good diabetes management, that their child will be excluded from activities or have to take an exam when blood glucose levels are plummeting.
Safe at School: Safety and Fairness for Children with Diabetes (PDF)
An overview of the Association's Safe at School Campaign
If you need help with a school diabetes care problem, call 1-800-DIABETES (342-2383) for free resources and to speak to an ADA legal advocate.
Legal Protections
The development of a written accommodations and care plan developed under federal disability law is the best way to ensure that diabetes needs are met in a way that maximizes safety, health, learning and participation.
Position Statements and Resources for Care at School
Resources and information on how to care for a student with diabetes at school.
Resolving Challenges
When conflicts about care at school arise, it is often because parents and schools have different understandings about care at school.
School Staff Training
The school nurse is vital in coordinating and providing diabetes care at school. S/he also has the responsibility and training to implement the student's individual diabetes care plan.
Special Considerations
Many children with diabetes will have specific needs in certain situations. This section will help plan for those situations.
A Team Effort
Families, schools and health care providers must work together for the benefit of the student with diabetes.
Written Care Plans
Creating a plan for how diabetes will be managed at school should be a team effort that includes school staff, families, and health care providers
Advanced School Advocacy Training Program
The ASAT Program consists of trained volunteers who provide assistance to parents/guardians to ensure that their children with diabetes are safe at school and have the same opportunity to excel as other children.
My name is Latesha Taylor and I'm scared for my child's future.
Every day my 9-year old daughter Loretta goes to school – her life is at risk.
You see, Loretta has diabetes. Yet her school system doesn't believe that it's their job to provide basic care for a child with diabetes when a school nurse isn't available. Other states have adopted laws that allow school employees to provide diabetes care as trained volunteers, but not mine.
Instead, I'm forced to leave my job every time the nurse is absent or unavailable because the school system refuses to train other staff members in how to care for her. It also means Loretta is falling way behind in school. And because she has so many absences from leaving school when there's no nurse available, she's even been cited for truancy!
Many of the over 200,000 children with diabetes in America have no support system in school when they need insulin or face a diabetes emergency. Some are even turned away from their neighborhood school simply because they have diabetes.
I'm sure you'll agree with me that this is discriminatory and must be stopped. School personnel who aren't health care professionals can – and should – be trained to provide diabetes care when a school nurse isn't available.

APPEAL - Accelerator and Particle Physics Education at A-Level
The University of Oxford is organising in collaboration with CERN a one-day school to give A-level teachers an opportunity to learn about the physics underlying the LHC. This school will give basic information about particle accelerators and particle physics to Physics teachers who are not necessarily Physics specialists. Preference will be given to teachers coming from schools which usually send very few pupils to University. The school will address questions such as "How does a particle accelerator work?" "What are the questions the LHC will answer?" "How does an experiment at the LHC work?" "What are the applications of particle accelerators in our daily lives?" and "What is the origin of the Universe and of matter?"Starts 2 Jul 2011 09:50
Ends 2 Jul 2011 18:30
University of Oxford
All lectures will be pitched at A-level and will last 50 minutes followed by a 10-minute question/discussion time.
Copies of the slides, teaching resources and further reading resources would be provided to the participants and made publicly available on-line.

Square Pure White 18-pc Set
Can't say enough!
Best dinnerware on earth. This is my second full set--one for our old house in the country. Love the square set even more than the regular. Either one will do you proud and last forever, but the square dinner plates are a bit bigger. It's light and easy to handle, washes so easily--clean, sparkling and beautiful with almost any color. Incredibly durable--my sister raised four rowdy kids with this stuff and only broke ONE piece--dropped from a moving car!
Bravo Corning, you've made a near-perfect product at an affordable price.

Nice appearance and function.
I like the way the square, white plates and bowls look. They even seem to hold more than typical round items. I have always liked that Corelle products are lighter than stoneware, yet very durable. The only thing I was disappointed about was the inconsistency in the shape. When stacked you could really see how the edges were not very straight.
December 1, 2012
Lightweight, aesthetically pleasing
We've used stoneware for the past 30+ years, sturdy but very heavy and clunky, so I love the thin, lightweight Corelle Pure White. The square-ish 10 1/4" dinner plates fit better in the cabinet and are easy to stack; I can put 22 plates where only 8 stoneware were, good for large family gatherings. The 8 3/4" salad plates are large enough to use for most meals. I use the square-ish 22oz soup bowls in the microwave, the sides flare out and create more surface area, so food cooks and reheats more evenly. I wish Corelle made this same style in solid fiesta colors since I have more cabinet room to fit plates. I did not get the mugs since we have an eclectic collection, but I plan to purchase the 6 1/2" plates and 10oz dessert bowls when they are back in stock.

Great price, shipped directly to me within 48 hours delivered. Very friendly and efficient customer service.
March 15, 2012
These are great for any and everyone. The are so light weight that anyone can use them. They can be used causually or dressed up. I bought them to replace some other white square plates that were extremely heavy but I really loved the look of them. I am so glad that I purchased them, they are everything I expected them to be and I was not at all disappointed in my purchase. I am also glad I found them on the website because they I did not need the cups/mugs that come with the sets sold in the stores and this worked out perfectly for me. Would recommend them to everyone!!!
March 14, 2012
Nice Dinnerware!
I had been looking for nice everyday dinnerware for two years. I really wanted a simple pattern but after reading the reviews on the all white Corelle I decided to make the purchase and so glad I did. The square plates are large and could be used as formal dinnerware. My family loves these! Can't believe how nice a simple dinner can look on these dishes. As for the cereal bowls I again was a little skeptical about the size but they are "perfect" for cereal. Hope they will eventually have other serving pieces for these. And yes they stack well in your cabinet and take up so much less room. Glad I made the purchase!
March 8, 2012
Attractive and Durable
I live in an apartment with two roommates and countless friends in and out of the house. My last set of dishes (non-Corelle) gradually all bit the dust. Not these. Throw them in the dishwasher on heavy duty cycle, bang them on the counter, even drop them, and they hold up. Plus, the pattern is modern and attractive.
February 13, 2012
I'd had my eyes on this set for quite a while because of the extra pieces and the lack of mugs. I received this set this previous Christmas and I've been delighted with the dishes. Timeless and simple. Time to order the matching dessert dishes, serving bowls, and bread/butter plates!

Formed by members who played in other bands as recently as this summer and who mostly knew one another, The Blue Soul Gypsys not only have meshed musically, but personally.
"Everyone in this room is my best friend," drummer Jeff Scott, 20, said, as he sat in the Elizabethtown office at Pandaruella Productions with company founders Jacob and Samantha Langley and band members. "These are my brothers and sister."
In July, the Hardin County musicians formed the group The Blue Soul Gypsys, a band with high ideals and goals. In addition to Scott, the band is made up of vocalist and guitarist Aaron McDowell, guitarist Michael Patrick and bassist Justin Perez.
Before the band formed, McDowell, 22, was familiar with the Scott's and Perez's work and always wanted to work with them. Then he "stumbled upon" the office of Pandaruella Productions, a place familiar to a future band member he hadn't met.
"I love playing music, and I was always playing here," Patrick, 20, said.
It wasn't long before all the members met and realized they were a good fit.
"It just fell into place," McDowell said.
Perez, 26, believes the band was meant to be together.
"There's just too many things that brought us here," he said.
Jacob Langley said the bond between band members, him, and his sister, Samantha, was instantaneous.
"There was no grace period," he said.
"It's like love at first sight," McDowell said.
Band members describe their music, which is all original, as "bluesy," "inspirational" and "relatable" rock.
Members of the group want the music to be open to individual interpretation and appeal to a broad audience.
"In a music industry as competitive as the one we're in, you've really got to change it up," McDowell said.
Though McDowell writes a lot of the material, the band collaborates on all its songs. Often, each knows when something is not quite right, and they work to do what's best for the song.
Perez said he can feel when a song comes together because of the band's chemistry.
"It just makes me happy," he said.
The process requires a special quality, Perez said.
"You have to be unselfish when you're in a band," he said, describing the collaboration as being in a relationship with his bandmates.
The end result is music they believe can uplift or connect with listeners. Ultimately they want their music to make a positive impact on its audience.
"We're not like most other bands," Patrick said. "We want to help people."
Members try to accomplish their goal of helping others through music, and each considers himself accessible to the public.
They're more concerned with their music's impact than its profit potential.
"I'd much rather be rich in my heart all day long than in my pocket," McDowell said.
The band has played a gig to raise money for a headstone for a friend who died. They recalled the emotional impact of seeing their friend's father and son dance to the music.
The Blue Soul Gypsys have played other gigs, too, and they plan to release a CD in the near future.
Among their challenges, they said, are the preconceived notions musicians others have, such as the idea they don't really work, and their own impatience concerning their goals.
"I just want to play music, have a good time and change people," Patrick said.
"Our music is meant to change people," McDowell said. "It's not just for the ears; it's for the soul."

The Powers to Lead
Book, Oxford University Press
February 2008
Author: Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor

Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
What qualities make a leader succeed in business or politics? In an era when the information revolution has dramatically changed the playing field, when old organizational hierarchies have given way to fluid networks of contacts, and when mistrust of leaders is on the rise, our ideas about leadership are clearly due for redefinition.
With The Powers to Lead, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. offers a sweeping look at the nature of leadership in today's world, in an illuminating blend of history, business case studies, psychological research, and more. As he observes, many now believe that the more authoritarian and coercive forms of leadership—the hard power approaches of earlier military-industrial eras—have been largely supplanted in postindustrial societies by soft power approaches that seek to attract, inspire, and persuade rather than dictate. Nye argues, however, that the most effective leaders are actually those who combine hard and soft power skills in proportions that vary with different situations. He calls this smart power. Drawing examples from the careers of leaders as disparate as Gandhi, Churchill, Lee Iacocca, and George W. Bush, Nye uses the concept of smart power to shed light on such topics as leadership types and skills, the needs and demands of followers, and the nature of good and bad leadership in terms of both ethics and effectiveness. In one particularly instructive chapter, he looks in depth at contextual intelligence—the ability to understand changing environments, capitalize on trends, and use the flow of events to implement strategies.
Thoroughly grounded in the real world, rich in both analysis and anecdote, The Powers to Lead is sure to become a modern classic, a concise and lucid work applicable to every field, from small businesses and nonprofit organizations to nations on the world stage.
See a video of Nye discussing the book for the Harvard Kennedy School Virtual Book Tour.
Joseph S. Nye Jr. is University Distinguished Service Professor at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, where he was formerly Dean. In government, he served as Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, Assistant Secretary of Defense, and Deputy Undersecretary of State. A frequent contributor to The New York Times, The Washington Post , and The Wall Street Journal , he is the author of several books, including The Paradox of American Power: Why the World's Only Superpower Can't Go It Alone (Oxford, 2003) and Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics.
Praise for The Powers to Lead:
"A lucid...survey of leadership studies, touching on everything from bonobo behavior to Freudian psychology... with references to noted leaders like former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, Lincoln, Hitler and Subcomandante Marcos."—Publishers Weekly
"Finally, a book that analyzes what leadership really means and how it relates to power. It will be invaluable for both political and business leaders alike. Nye developed the concept of hard and soft power, and now he shows how the best leaders use both in a smart way."—Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe, and President, the Aspen Institute
"The Powers to Lead is an outstanding primer on leadership and all its dimensions. Nye cuts through the many bromides surrounding the subject to present a sharp, gracefully written introduction to leadership that will benefit anyone from Washington to Wall Street."—General Brent Scowcroft, former U.S. National Security Advisor
"Nye has written better and more creatively on the importance of soft power as a political and diplomatic weapon than anyone else. Now he brings this knowledge and all his governmental and academic experience to bear on the oldest question in politics—how do leaders emerge and what distinguishes the good ones from the bad? There couldn't be a better primer for a presidential election year, in which all of us, whether or not we are American citizens, have such a big stake."—Chris Patten, Chancellor of Oxford University
"This book will change not only the way leaders think about how they themselves should use power-but also how they can respond more creatively and effectively to others' power moves. This book will—and should—find a permanent place on the bookshelves of academics and practitioners alike."—Roderick M. Kramer, William R. Kimball Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford Graduate School of Business
"This book represents an important intellectual odyssey. Nye has long been acclaimed as one of the world's foremost thinkers about international affairs, helping us understand, for example, the differences between soft and hard power. Now, to our great good fortune, he has turned his mind to the vexing questions of how power relates to leadership. The result is a conceptual tour de force-one of the best works on leadership since James MacGregor Burns wrote his breakthrough book three decades ago. What a splendid journey!"—David Gergen, Professor of Public Service and Director, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government

So I re-did my Spring/Easter Fantel. There were a few reasons for that: 1)Chris kept bumping into the sticks and toppling the whole thing over. It was ugly. 2)I felt like it looked kinda cold and dead, and since the weather has been so nice this year and everything is in bloom and not half dead like usual, it just seemed wrong. 3) I also bought myself this awesome hydrangea and I've pretty much decided my whole decorating scheme revolves around it until it's warm enough to plant it outside.
So first of all, what's a fantel?
It's basically a fake mantel, for those of us without real mantels. Mine is this saw horse style thing that Chris made for me back in the Fall. He used barn wood and studs out of our walls upstairs from Kennedy's closet renovation. Which I still haven't shown you.
Because it's still not quiiiiiite done.
I made this rag wreath in about 15 minutes using old flannel baby blankets in Easter colours. I was thinking "OK, I love it, but there's no way it's going to work in my living room." Well, I've been wrong once or twice. It's fantastic.
I've just learned how to blow out eggs this week. Sad I know. Isn't every school child supposed to know that? Anyway, I've been saving all the pretty egg shells from the farm eggs my Mother in Law has been bringing to me.
Hands down, the best Easter decorations I've come upon so far.
So what do you think? Do you like Take Two as much as I do, or should I have just left the first fantel as it was?

In a move that may trigger a price war in competitive smartphone market, Nokia has decided to reduce the price if its flagship smartphone Lumia 900 to half, barely three months after its launch.
According to latest piece of information, the cost of the Lumia 900 Windows phone has been reduced to $49.99 from $99 by Nokia with a two-year agreement.
According to Keith Nowak, Nokia spokesperson, the latest price cut is part of Nokia's ongoing lifecycle management, which is jointly done between Nokia and carrier customers.
Featuring a 4.3-inch screen, 1.4-gigahertz processor and 8-megapixel camera, the Lumia 900 uses largely untried software from Microsoft Corp.
Packed with a 4.3-inch screen and powered with 1.4-gigahertz processor, 8-megapixel camera, Nokia Lumia 900 has used largely untried software from Microsoft Corp.
As a matter of concern, it is found, world's second-largest cell phone maker is lagging behind in the smartphone race where Apple and Samsung are already going ahead with faster speed. Initially, Nokia phones have won some good reviews, but have had relatively little success than numerous Samsung's Android powered smartphones and Apple's iPhone available in the market. Slow sales have so far thwarted Nokia's recovery efforts.

His high school alma mater lost the March 3 game in overtime, but Norwood exited Jackson's Mississippi Coliseum impressed with the spirited play exhibited by the THS players.
"I was very proud of the effort the guys gave," he said. "I thought they were going to win it. I was pulling for them ... not knowing I'd be in the race for the coaching job."
Norwood, 49, an assistant men's basketball coach at William Carey University in Hattiesburg, won the race for the THS position. He was named the school's boys basketball coach Thursday during the monthly school board meeting.
He replaced Grant Pate, who resigned last month to become men's basketball coach at Itawamba Community College.
"I'm very happy to be here," Norwood said. "My goal is to compete at a high level and instill in our players the importance of leadership and sportsmanship."
Norwood, who has never been a head coach, coached three seasons for William Carey. Prior to that, he coached on the men's basketball staff at the University of Southern Mississippi. He has also been an assistant coach on the men's and women's staffs at Mississippi State, where he played from 1981-85.
Norwood will also serve the high school and middle school as its graduation coach, counseling students to remain in school and graduate.
"Jeff's passionate about helping students off the court more than on the court," THS principal Jason Harris said. "That speaks volumes for him."
Norwood was one of four candidates interviewed for the job. A fifth candidate pulled out of consideration, according to THS athletics director Danny Porter.
"We liked his enthusiasm about returning to Tupelo," Porter said. "I think he will be a good role model for the students."
Norwood becomes the first African American boys head basketball coach at THS. His father, Steve, served as the first minority member on the Tupelo school board.
"It's historical, but it really hasn't crossed my mind much," Norwood said. "I just wanted to be the coach.
"There is a need for African-American role models. At the same time, I want to be a good coach and a good role model for all the students."
Norwood's teams will feature an up-tempo style that starts with full-court, man-to-man defense, along with some zone looks to keep opponents honest.
"I like a fast-paced game, but I am more defensive-minded," he said. "I believe defense wins championships.
"If you work hard on defense, you're going to score."

- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Colourful general guide more concerned with comfort than budget travel, this dense compendium of practical information is laced with thoughtful appraisals of sights, restaurants, hotels and so on.

Recommended by professional exterminators for its 100% efficacy, the Victor® Multi Kill™ Electronic Mouse Trap is the most advanced rodent control system available in the market!
Two points of entry with a lab tested staircase design lead mice attracted to peanut butter or bacon bits (not included) into the Shock N' Drop Chamber. To reach the bait, the rodent must walk along three electrically charged patented plates which kill the mouse in less than 3 seconds. At a 100% kill rate this means no escapes! EVER!
See the Victor® Multi Kill™ Electronic Mouse Trap in Action:
After the mouse expires, the Shock N' Drop Chamber automatically rotates and deposits the mouse in the collection drawer, keeping it hidden from sight. The Victor® Multi-Kill™ Electronic Mouse Trap automatically resets to capture the next mouse. The collection drawer holds up to 10 mice before it has to be emptied. Fully automated, the trap has the ability to eliminate your rodent problem in just 1 night.
The Victor® Multi Kill™ Electronic Mouse Trap features a built-in safety switch that automatically deactivates the trap whenever its door is open. Additionally, its unique tunnel design makes all electrical components inaccessible to pets and curious fingers. Requires four "C" batteries, included.

To bait the Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap, first make sure the trap is turned off. Open the kill chamber door located on top of the mouse trap. We've carefully researched and recommend baiting with anything high in protein like peanut butter or hazelnut spread. Place a small amount of bait (the size of a pea) against the back wall of the kill chamber. Be sure to use gloves or a tool to bait so your scent is not transferred onto the trap. Please don't place the bait or any other material directly on the metal plates as this will falsely trip the system.
The Multi-Kill™ is recommended for indoor use only. This trap was designed and manufactured to be used indoors and not exposed to the elements. If this trap is used outside, the unit could potentially short out due to weather conditions, such as rain.
