Student Recommendations
Ora S. December 28, 2010
"Like for Stefanie, dancing is my passion, something that truly makes me happy and helps to forget about everything besides that moment when you can just let it go, dance and enjoy! It is one of the best surprises and presents in my life to have been able to get acquainted with Stefanie this fall when I moved back to NY. Her joy and love for dance, her strong personality and at the same time very friendly, easy-going manner of teaching, won't leave you indifferent, and her attention to small technique details and choreography- something that is very important if you are new on the dancing floor- will give you the right basics with which you will be able to improvise at the later stages of your learning and dancing experience. Stefanie knows how to share love for dancing with anyone! And it is contagious :-) Ora"
Liora M. December 29, 2010
"Stephanie has to be the most patient instructor ever to grace a dance floor. She has such a sure hand and eye for how to guide the student, whatever level they are. I always learn and feel better about my dancing. One couldn't ask for better."
Steve C. December 29, 2010
"To fully appreciate Steph, you first must know a fact about me: I am a non-dancing guy. I, in general, rarely enjoy dancing, never feel comfortable dancing, and certainly was not looking forward to "performing" in front of our wedding guests. My then-fiance, now-wife signed us up with Steph to learn a dance for our first dance. Also, you must know, we did not give Steph an easy task - we chose a song that I can confidently say no one has ever selected before as a first dance: Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Exactly, never heard of it, right? And if you have heard of it, you're thinking "Really? That song?" But that was our song, and Steph made it work. Over the next 10 or 12 weeks, she came up with an original dance that turned out amazing; all the while, the other instructors at the studio simply laughed at our song selection. She made me - the non-dancing groom-to-be - enjoy our sessions and our wedding dance. She was a pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend her based upon our experience, her creativity, her super personality, and her knowledge of her craft. She gets the top rating in my book. I would not hesitate to use her again if my wife ever makes me do another dance!"
Madeleine M. December 29, 2010
"If you are a serious dancer, or hope to be one, Stephanie will make sure that all your parts are doing the right things at the right time! She's well versed in diverse areas of dance, she's serious and fun in class, and she will push you to get to the level of dance that you seek. I highly recommend taking a class with Steph."
Georgina Y. December 29, 2010
"Stephanie was our first Swing teacher, and we've taken several classes with her over the last 6 months, as well as joined her for social Swing dancing. She's a patient and attentive teacher who really goes the extra mile to make sure her students are engaged and learning at every moment. Not only that, but she included us in two dance performances, taking a lot of her own time to make sure those performances went off well and that we were prepared and confident. In short, we love her. And believe me, if she can teach my husband to dance - well, she can teach anyone!"
Lisa M. December 29, 2010
"Stephanie is a very relaxed teacher. I am not a dancer and was relieved to have a teacher that I felt comfortable with. She will try different angles and methods in order to get you to understand the steps. "
Nasiveli S. December 30, 2010
"Steph is an awesome dance instructor! She was one of my favorite out of all instructors at Sandra Cameron's dance studio. Her methodology worked for me. I would love to take more classes with Steph in the nearest future. xoxo, Nasiveli "
Andy M. December 31, 2010
"Stephanie was amazing. My wife-to-be and I had never done a real dance together before, and I personally am not a good dancer. We made an appointment at a local dance studio and were introduced to Stephanie for the first time. Stephanie listened to our song (which she had never herd before), choreographed a dance, and taught it to us despite my best efforts in telling her that i was incapable of learning it. Stephanie stuck with me and helped me figure out ways that i could remember the steps. It turned out great and it made our wedding reception even better! Stephanie also recognized that we didn't take ourselves too seriously and let us have a lot fun with the lessons. This put us at ease and really made the process fun. We were excited to tell Stephanie all about our wedding dance and to how her the video. We consider Stephanie to be a true friend of ours - not simply our instructor. "
Byron H. January 3, 2011
"Stephanie is a great instructor. It's clear she cares about all aspects of the dancing beyond just simple footwork, such as using the space and navigating a crowded dance floor. These are so important and she covers small, yet important stuff like this that few instructors ever think about or take time to discuss, which makes a big difference in dancing for real outside of a classroom. I wish more teachers were like her."
Sierra C. January 3, 2011
"Stephanie is an absolutely delightful dance instructor who helped and encouraged us in preparation for our wedding last spring. She not only taught us both the basic and the more advanced steps to American and European foxtrot, but worked relentlessly toward improving our form and style, leaving us confident and actually proud of how we dance. Flow and elegance were as important as the mechanics of the steps, and this allowed us to dance more fluidly and comfortably as a couple, even when we confused the actual steps. But not only did she hold our hands, often literally, over months to help us learn to dance, she actually choreographed a stunning composition to the song we chose for our first dance. It was entirely personalized, fun, and gorgeous! It was a wonderful experience that we recommend to anyone - engaged, married, dating, or even single. We can't wait to get back to the studio for more! (Sierra Clark) As a guy who has never had any formal dance training, I was more than a little apprehensive about making a complete fool of myself during the lessons. Thankfully though, Stephanie is such a sweetheart and has such a contagious excitement about teaching that I completely forgot about being nervous and actually had fun. I was also thankful that she really made sure we had mastered the basics before moving on to more complicated stuff. That way, even if we totally screwed up in the middle of the dance, we always had something that we could fall back on and keep dancing. (James Clark) "
Mark G. January 3, 2011
"I have taken 9 months of swing/lindy hop classes with Stephanie and give my highest recommendation. She knows a lot about all forms of partner dancing and really cares about her students."
Rob C. January 6, 2011
"Stephanie is an enthusiastic teacher, she cares about her students learning swing dance and is very attentive when you ask questions.She encourages you to practice what you learn in class both in the studio practices and in social settings.She comes out to social dance with students and encourages you to perform! I have taken many classes with her and encourage you to also!"
George A. January 7, 2011
"I've been taking classes with Stephenie the past couple of months.. swing and all ballroom dance.. she is a fine instructor.. but what makes Stephenie different from other dance instructors is the extra attention she gives to individuals during class as well as outside of class.. she is committed to ensuring that her students understand what's been covered during each lesson.. she is always receptive to their questions.. making herself available to them accommodating their schedules if needed.. "
Mark S. January 17, 2011
"Stephanie was a wonderful dance instructor. My daughter and I learned to dance a very fine Rhumba for our daddy-daughter dance. Stephanie was patient, clear, kind and friendly; and our lessons were totally successful--we were awesome when it counted!! I would recommend her as an instructor without reservation. I should add that I had zero dancing experience--other than the universal free form stuff, so you should have no concern about how far a novice can quickly progress."
Alan M. February 7, 2011
"Stephanie is a wonderful, outstanding teacher. My wife and I have worked with her for a year and a half on lindy. We have learned an incredible amount in that time. Stephanie works hard to break down the steps into manageable segments that we can easily learn. She is warm, friendly, patient, encouraging and enthusiastic. We highly recommend her to anyone who would like to learn swing."
Lisa M. April 8, 2011
"I took classes from Stephanie for over 6 months, before moving away from Manhattan. And Im so sad that there is not another Stephanie. She has a understanding of swing dance and knows how to teach it. She is able to express the dance to many different learning styles. She knows how to handle a class room with different abilities and interest. She also knows how to make class enjoyable. Definitely a teacher I have recommended to others. "
Taya K. April 8, 2011
"Stephanie is a beautiful dancer and a great teacher. She is not shy about correcting you (like some teachers are) and offering constructive criticism, but she also encourages you and makes sure that you are having fun and feeling good about yourself, no matter what natural abilities (or lack of) you walk in with. She is a great person to help you build your dancing foundation. So even if you don't have a lot of time to devote to training (like say you have a wedding coming up really soon) she will know what you need to be able to "fake it" and look like a great dancer on your wedding day. But if you do have some time to devote, she can help you build on top of that foundation and make you a much stronger dancer than you are now. "
Vinay T. May 26, 2011
"Stephanie is awesome! I have been taking classes under her for some time at the sandra cameron dance center. She is the reason why i was able to perform in public at the 9th avenue intl. food festival in new york a few weeks back! She works very hard with the students and is extremely kind to the beginners :) She breaks down complicated steps into simpler parts so that learning becomes easy. She also focuses on correcting minor things which would go a long way in making one a better dancer in the long run. I would recommend her without any hesitation."
john C. May 28, 2011
"Stephanie is a wonderful teacher. I have been taking swing classes for a number of years and Stephanie still can surprise me with fun, challenging innovations and a truly infectious enthusiasm for the dance. She's been great for my technique and encouraging me to perform and find new venues to dance."
Liza Melanie O. June 7, 2011
"Stephie is a remarkable teacher and dancer. Her patience and commitment to dance and to her students really shows from the first class you take. It is refreshing to see a New Yorker who loves her job and her life as much as she does. Her enthusiasm and energy is contagious and somewhat enviable. As a bonus, she's pretty hot too. Do yourself a favor and take a dance class with Stephanie."
Liz V. June 8, 2011
"My boyfriend and I had a great time and learned so much taking Stephanie's class. She taught us a lot in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, we moved to LA so we can't continue to take class from her, but we'll definitely use her as the standard as we search for a new swing teacher. We miss you, Stephanie!"
Merrill K. June 17, 2011
"My boyfriend and I -- who have what's known in the dancing world as "two left feet" -- have been taking swing lessons with Stephanie all year. Stephanie is everything you would want in a dance teacher: kind, funny, and not the slightest bit judgmental. It is obvious that she loves teaching dancing almost as much as she loves dancing itself. By the time we left our first lesson, we were dancing with confidence, and with Stephanie's encouragement we've continued to improve little by little each time. Ten lessons later, our swing-dancing hour is the highlight of our week. "
Christian F. June 21, 2011
"My wife and I had a blast taking swing lessons from Stephanie. She put me at ease, and gave perceptive advice and attentive instruction. For example, by having me focus on how to use my arms to direct my wife on the dance floor, she got me to stop obsessing about getting my feet just right, which made the dancing feel more natural. And she taught us some great, simple combinations. I went from annoyed at dancing to really enjoying it. My wife and I were well prepared for a swing dance party, after a mere 4 lessons. Stephanie is a superb teacher."
Molly V. July 20, 2011
"my boyfriend and I recently took a private salsa lesson with Stephanie Lynn as a birthday gift for my 21st birthday (7/11/11). I wanted to write you all to tell you how wonderful the lesson was. We had such a fantastic time, she was upbeat and energetic and did not get frustrated with us even though we may have felt silly at times for messing up the steps! She was so great at identifying the reasons we were having problems with our steps and why we were getting caught up and she slowed it down and took it step by step with us to make sure that we got it right. By the end of the night, my boyfriend and I felt like we were ready to New York Salsa with the best! It was an amazing birthday present and I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to any of my friends for such an occasion; I wish I lived in the area so that I could come back for classes with her. "
Benjamin C. September 19, 2011
"Stephanie did an awesome job of choreographing and teaching us our wedding dance. We did ten private lessons with her which worked out well. We were able to do our entire dance confidently! Highly recommended."
Patricia W. September 29, 2011
"Stephanie is a fun dance instructor. She makes beginners like us feel comfortable and her knowledge of styles is extensive. We worked with Stephanie to get ready for our wedding dance and our guests gushed....even though we're no experts!"
Kristy D. October 6, 2011
"We used Stephanie for private dance lessons to help choreograph our first dance for our wedding. Stephanie was a great teacher who was able to choreograph an easy to learn dance that even my husband could learn! She was able to clearly and concisely explain her instructions. The dance was elogantly choreographed with our song, and flowed perfectly at the wedding. We received many compliments on how nice our first dance was, and it we couldnt have done it without her. Stephanie was very personable to be around and we looked forward to the weekly lesson. She tailored the dance to our strengths and incorporated all of our 'wants to includes' and left out all the things we were uncomfortable with. All in all, she was a great teacher who we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dance lessons!"
Bruce F. K. August 13
"I've had the pleasure of attending several of Stephanie's monthly classes (not only Swing) but also Salsa on 1. Stephanie is an excellent instructor in a group setting She's very clear, very organized, and very disciplined. It amazes me how much material she can cover and make it understandable to the whole class. She knows how to have fun with the instruction, the classes in that regard are comfortable and easy-going. She's involved with her students to pass along individual tips that help them better understand and execute the dances. You go Stephanie!!!!"
Ruth A. August 13
"Stephanie was my first dance instructor and she really inspired me. I now have a passion for dancing and I have her to thank. She has a warm compasionate way with a love for teaching dance that keeps you movtivated when your two left feet are getting in the way. I can't think of anything better for any dance beginner."
john C. August 16
"Stephanie is a great teacher with a lot of enthusiasm. This summer she choreographed and led a performance at the 9th avenue food fair that was a big hit and a fun chance to show off for many different levels of dancers"
Kelly S. August 22
"Stephanie is a great instructor and working with her I've been learning so fast! Her classes are a great mix of learning new and interesting steps, and honing finite technical skills to make all of our dancing better. Classes are fun and generally laid back, but she'll hold you accountable for your dancing, too. She's been great!"
Jeremy W. September 9
"Stephanie is an excellent dance instructor! Her classes are a lot of fun and will definitely help you improve, through learning new steps, correct technique, and fun styling! She is an instructor with both a wide knowledge of dance styles and depth of experience in each style with a lot to offer!"
Adam L. September 12
"I really enjoy Stephanie's class. She challenges you to learn quickly, but also to learn broadly. Rather than teaching just one version of a step, she makes sure you learn all the variations on a theme so you're never taken unawares on the social dance floor. If I had to critique one thing about this class, it would be that it's a little *too* much fun. I know dance class can't always be relentless castigation and rote memorization, but I think the higher ups would be a little disappointed if they knew quite how boisterous and convivial her class really was."
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I learn to dance?
Don't laugh. I get a lot of people both men and women asking if they truly can learn to dance. My answer is that if you can walk then I can teach you to dance.
How long will it take me to learn Lindy Hop? (or any dance)
That all depends on how much time and effort you put into practicing the material you learn in class on your own and how many times a week you take class. I always suggest to combine classes with private lessons. If you become friendly with your classmates, usually you can find someone who would be willing to split the costs of private lessons. The more effort you put into your dancing the quicker you learn ... even if you are a slow learner like I was....

WASHINGTON >> Want to take a trail ride and win treasure? If so, join the Humane Organization Representing Suffering Equines (H.O.R.S.E.) of Connecticut for a Treasure Trail Hunt on Saturday, Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"Our Treasure Trail Ride is a fun event," said President Patty Wahlers, who has rescued more than 650 horses over the past 30 years.
"Riders will have a chance to pick up 'treasure' along the trails on the farm. Included in this is our grand prize, a pair of Field riding boots worth $200."
Wahlers points out that this is not a timed event. Riders will follow the marked trails on the 47-acre farm and look for prizes hanging off the trees. They must remove the prizes while riding.
According to Wahlers, two of the farm's rescue horses, Star and Bronson, will be participating in the event.
Star, an 8-year-old Morab (Morgan Arabian) who is a registered white horse, will be ridden by trainer Liz Morsey of L & L Equestrian in Washington.
Volunteer trainer Emily Slosson of Newtown will ride Bronson, an 8-year-old Belgian Quarter Horse who is a Premarin baby. Premarin is a conjugated estrogen product extracted from pregnant mares' urine. The urine is used in hormone replacement therapy and the babies are often slaughtered.
"Both Star and Bronson have made great progress with their training,"Wahlers said. "Emily and Liz have generously donated their time to help train the horses to ride on trails and in the ring. Having them participate in the Treasure Trail Hunt shows just how far they've come."
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m. with the ride starting at 10 a.m. Lunch will be served at noon.
"We have over 65 prizes on the trails," Wahlers said. "There's everything from grooming supplies to leg wraps to lead lines and more." Continued...
Anyone wishing to ride in the Treasure Trail Hunt should bring their horse to the farm located at 43 Wilbur Road in Washington. There is a $50 entry fee per horse and rider.
For more information call (860) 868-1960 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you aren't able to attend the event but would like to make a donation go online to the organization's site at www.horseofct.org/donationsnmembership.html

Comparative analysis of inflamed and non-inflamed colon biopsies reveals strong proteomic inflammation profile in patients with ulcerative colitis Full Text
BMC Gastroenterology, 07/11/2012
Poulsen NA et al. – A distinct proteomic profile of inflamed tissue in UC patients was found. Specific proteins involved in energy metabolism and oxidative stress were identified as potential candidate markers for UC.
Methods- Biopsies were sampled from rectum, sigmoid colon and left colonic flexure from twenty patients with active proctosigmoiditis and from four healthy controls for proteomics and histology.
- Proteomic profiles of whole colonic biopsies were characterized using 2D–gel electrophoresis and peptide mass fingerprinting using matrix–assisted laser desorption/ionization time–of–flight mass spectrometry (MALDI–TOF MS) was applied for identification of differently expressed protein spots.
- A total of 597 spots were annotated by image analysis and 222 of these had a statistically different protein level between inflamed and non–inflamed tissue in the patient group.
- Principal component analysis clearly grouped non–inflamed samples separately from the inflamed samples indicating that the proteomic signature of colon mucosa with acute ulcerative colitis is strong.
- Totally, 43 individual protein spots were identified, including proteins involved in energy metabolism (triosephosphate isomerase, glycerol–3–phosphatedehydrogenase, alpha enolase and L–lactate dehydrogenase B–chain) and in oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase, thioredoxins and selenium binding protein).

Hey all!
I am a Pro Tools user and am wanting to switch over to Cubase. I have used it a couple times and like the work flow. I am a home studio user. Everything I do is my own music, never really have a need for more than 20 tracks, and use a combination of virtual and live insturments. So I have a couple questions...
1. Would I be able to use my existing Mbox Pro interface with Cubase.
2. I am comming from Pro tools 9 so would Cubase 7 be the smarter move or would Cubase 6 elements handle the home hobby studio just fine.
3. Assuming the Mbox Pro works for the interface would I only need the cubase software and the eLicenser dongle to get rolling?
4. And my computer is a Mac with the latest OS. 10.8.2, 16 gig of ram so would this be workable?
I appreciate any help! Thanks much.

You've seen the commercials: A woman constantly interrupts her family road trip for bathroom breaks. Or she can't enjoy a day shopping without always rushing to the restroom. Or she shares a good laugh with friends and uh oh!
These are all familiar scenarios, but the good news is that they don't have to be.
Dr. Janet Harris-Hicks, a board certified gynecologist at Sandhills Gynecology in Hamlet, will hold a lunch presentation on the subject, "Love, Laugh … Leak?" from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday at the Lockhart-Taylor Center on the campus of South Piedmont Community College in Wadesboro.
The program is free and will include a complimentary lunch.
Many ladies suffer with the involuntary loss of urine or "urinary incontinence," Dr. Harris-Hicks said. It is often an embarrassing subject seldom discussed with a doctor. "Ladies often think this is a normal part of aging and there is nothing to correct the problem," she said. "But incontinence is 'not' normal."
In her presentation, Dr. Harris-Hicks will discuss the medical and surgical options available that permanently correct urinary incontinence and eliminate bladder leakage.
Harris-Hicks is one of the leading female surgeons in pelvic disorders. She has 12 years of experience in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery.
In 2012, she was among 20 of the top surgeons in the United States selected to initiate the surgical use of a new surgical prolapsed product. In addition, Dr. Harris-Hicks' offers a full-service program to treat incontinence and POP. For women who seek treatment without surgical intervention, Dr. Harris-Hicks has extensive training in pelvic muscle rehabilitation, biofeedback, pessary placement, and medication usage.
"POP and urinary incontinence are common conditions affecting many adult women today," said Harris-Hicks. Pelvic organ prolapse is the abnormal descent or herniation of the pelvic organs including the bladder or rectum from their normal position inside the pelvis. Severe POP results in complete extrusion of the vagina outside of the pelvic floor.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine and is extremely common. The National Association for Continence predicts 25 million adult Americans suffer with incontinence. Of these Americans, 75-80 percent are women; and 9-13 million of them suffer with severe symptoms.
At previous seminars on urinary incontinence with Dr. Harris-Hicks, the reaction is always astounding, said Kimberly Harrington, marketing director for Sandhills Regional Medical Center. "It was always so moving to see the expressions on the faces of women when they realized they didn't have to live with leaky bladders and could start leading normal lives."
Want to go?
RSVP by noon on March 25 at 910-205-8909, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Leaning more towards traditional influences, the Home Styles Pub Table is nonetheless transitional in it's ability to be incorporated into more traditional or more updated dining / entertaining area decors. Distinguished by a beveled-edge table top and cross-stretcher legs, this table very much embodies simple stylish. A coffee wood finish completes the appeal of the Home Styles Pub Table, blessing it with an inherent warmth.

Excellent Table and Price!

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Home Styles Furniture Solid Hardwood Pub Table in Cherry Finish:
This was the first time I bought furniture on-line, and I was not disappointed. [...] More importantly the table was excellent, exactly what we were looking to complete our basement remodel. The table was easy to build, sturdy and handsome.
I love this table!
By poonie
from huntsville, al
I use this table between the breakfast nook and great room as a social table, I can have breakfast, conversation with a friend, watch tv, pay bills all at this location. I love it.
Nice Table
By TheSnug
from Portland, ME
Nice looking table. Fairly stable....just a little wobbly, but nothing too troubling. Using tables in a bar, so they get moved around a lot. I think in a non-commercial space where they are stationary, they'd be considered very hearty.
Simple, elegant
By new yorker
from NY, NY
It looks great, was easy to assemble, but is extremely heavy! Depending on how often you move it around, that can be a hassle. The finish is nice.

Elvis' Tomb is about to be auctioned!
It sounds strange, but a tomb where the late pop superstar was buried temporarily is about to be auctioned off. Elvis was entombed at this private crypt in a Memphis mausoleum for a couple of months while Elvis' dad got permission to bury Elvis at Graceland, Elvis' famous house.
The winner of the auction would be one of the only people who can say that they're buried where the King was buried. The starting price is set at $100,000 but it's sure to go much much higher than that. If you win it, you would get the use of the chapel for your service as well!
What do you think? Creepy or awesome?

6 Products to Buy this December
Sure, it's the season of giving, but that doesn't mean you can't give a few beauty goodies to yourself. These are the six best beauty product launches this month.
Clinique Chubby Stick Intense, $16 I'm a Clinique Chubby Stick fanatic. (My favorite shade for winter, in case you're curious, is Voluptuous Violet. It looks insanely purple in the tube but goes on like a sheer oxblood.) For December, Clinique is ramping up my beloved Chubby and launching Chubby Stick Intense. It's just as moisturizing as the original, and it has the same balm-like consistency. The only difference is that it deposits about twice as much color -- perfect for when you want a pop of color but a lipstick is too � lipstick-y. There are eight great shades, and I've already added Broadest Berry to my (embarrassingly large) collection.

Your coffee service staff will look neat and professional in their Caffe Ottolina Polo Shirt. The casual but elegant polo is easy to work in all day and looks great with the Caffe Ottolina logo. Pair it with the Caffe Ottolina Short Barista Apron for a complete ensemble.
The La Spaziale Vivaldi Drain Kit is designed to allow you to directly plumb the drip tray into your waste-water line so that you never have to manually empty it again. The kit is designed for use on all Vivaldi II models, and may work on some earlier Vivaldi I models if they have the 1 1/2" in diameter hole in the base of the machine directly under the drip tray location.
Keep coffee and tea hot, and cold beverages cold in style. The Bodum Bistro Double Wall Mug Set comes with 2 double-walled glass mugs in your choice of 10 oz, 15oz, and 15.2 oz sizes. These clear borosilicate glass mugs stay cool to the touch thanks to their double-walled design, and when holding cold beverages, won't collect condensation to threaten the fine finish on wood furniture. Bodum Bistro Double Wall Glasses are microwave and top-rack dishwasher safe.
The Bodurn Columbia sugar and creamer containers match perfectly with the Columbia French Press, making for a stunning set for any coffee lover. The double-walled containers are precision crafted so your cream retains its temperature, and your sugar stays nice and dry. The brushed finish accentuates this stunning set.
The Keurig 54 K-Cup Drawer is one of our largest single-serve coffee storage solutions. It can accommodate all varieties of K-Cups; if you have an extensive coffee collection, this carousel will help you keep it all organized. This model has a three-tier drawer design and a black satin finish. The drawers can slide out to give you easy access to your K-Cups. The Keurig 54 K-Cup Drawer measures 12.75"L x 7"W x 8.5"H. (K-Cups not included.)
Providing an escape from the everyday hustle-and-bustle, these demitasse cups feature a serene and peaceful design. Carefully decorated with soothing baby blue, faded green, and lemon-crème yellow, their design ensures that every coffee break relaxes and revives you. Packaged in an attractive gift box, this set of 3oz cups and matching saucers is available in a set of 6.
Handcrafted by the artisans at Bodum, the 15-ounce Pavina Double Walled Glass is microwave and dishwasher safe. It is the perfect glass to keep your hot drinks hot and your cool drinks cool. These Pavina glasses measure 3.125" x 3.125" x 5.875". Please note: The glass is mouth blown and that there may be slight variations in the height, thickness, or weight of each glass.
The Pallo Rollster Grate Cleaning Brush makes short work of cleaning any roasting grate whether its your coffee roaster or oven roasting pan, or grimy drip tray grate. Use it just like a paint roller to clean those hard to reach grate slots.
Ready, set, brew! This 4-piece starter kit gives you the essentials needed to use and maintain your espresso machine. The 20oz. frothing pitcher will accommodate every machine we carry, and the thermometer will save you from burning your milk, so you can get on the fast track to microfroth bliss. A group brush and a box of Cleancaf are also included so you can keep your machine happy and healthy, which in turn keeps it producing great espresso! Sorry, no substitutions available.
The Jura-Capresso 4439 8-Cup Thermal Coffee Carafe fits the Capresso Elegance 437 and 439 coffee makers which are no longer being manufactured. Fortunately for owners the machine lasts a long time and they may wear out the carafe while the machine still has a lot of life left. We have the replacement 8 cup carafes in black. (We know its black and your machine may be white but the black carafe will work very well.)

4. | smear the queer | ||
A game, played with a football, taught by all good fathers to their sons and daughters. I play smear the queer with all my kids.
1. | smear the queer | ||
"Smear the Queer" is a childhood game of tag involving an object that is held by the "it" kid until he is tackled and forced to give it up. "Smear the Queer" How it Works: The kid who has the ball (or stick, or balled up shirt, or whatever object is used) is "it" and therefore the "queer". The rest of the kids chase the "it" kid down until he is tackled (usually in a dog pile fashion). The caught kid then tosses the object away where the other kids gather around it and wait to see who has the guts to pick it up and start running. There is a big advantage to being quick on the pickup so as to get a better running start. There are no scores and no one "wins". It is a childhood game of bravado designed to blow off boyhood energy.
Note #1: I use the masculine to describe the participants because I have yet to meet a woman who's played this game. Note #2: The use of the word "queer" is not homophobic in this game. It's used as catchy name to describe the game. The "queer" in this sense is just the kid who's it. Because it's completely voluntary to be the "queer", and being the "queer" requires a certain amount of bravery, it is not used in the derogatory in this this particular usage. |
2. | Smear the queer | ||
Played with an object that can be tossed and easily carried such as a balled up t-shirt, football, or shoe. Play starts when object is thrown into the air. Players may either snatch object out of the air or wait until it lands. If the object lands, the person closest to it MUST pick it up. (Group will use judgement, or someone who wants it can just pick it up.) Once a player is in posession of the object, they try not to get tackled. Once tackled, the object is thrown into the air (or at a particular person) and the game starts over. Play usually ends when everyone is tired or when someone gets hurt. I am feeling really hyper and have a lot of energy, so lets get a group together and play smear the queer!!!
3. | smear the queer | ||
A national pastime for everyone but San Fransicans.
Football game where whoever has the ball is the "queer" you you tackle, "smear" the bajebus out of him Hey! Give the ball to Chris!!
5. | smear the queer | ||
Well known homophobic recess game in which the person with the ball ("the queer") runs away from everyone else, who do their best to tackle their friend and become the new "queer." Game is known for having a title that rhymes. It's Fifth Grade, Let's play Smear the Queer!
6. | Smear the Queer | ||
A homophobic (though not always overtly so) name for a rather homoerotic game.
Example: Billy didn't mind being the queer, in fact he enjoyed being dogpiled by the other boys.
Note: While often thought of as a "boy's game" I personally have seen girls playing Smear the Queer, though I don't recall ever seeing a co-ed game; which really just hightens the feel of homoerotisism. |

6. | babysit | ||
1. To watch annoying little kids all night.
2. Holding onto a blunt or any other form of weed for too long, thereby pissing off anyone else u are smoking with. 1. Damn these annoying little kids.
2. Hey mista babysitta is u ever gonna pass it? The blunts goin out will u look at all them ashes. Hey over here im open, pass the blunt. |
1. | babysit | ||
When one you and a some friends go out clubbin'and one of them ends up getting S#!T faced and you end up watching them all night; cleaning up their puke, keeping them from hooking up with nasty people/fighting people, helping them walk/up when they fall-thus ruining your entire evening and resluting in you not having any fun. "We went out of town this weekend, and we ended up babysitting Carol."
2. | babysit | ||
August 27, 2005 Urban Word of the Day
To pay little or no attention to your alcoholic beverage, letting it sit idle, while you pretend to nurse it. Hey Nick, you getting paid to babysit that beer? Need a nipple?
3. | babysit | ||
To hold the blunt for much longer than necessary. After being caught babysitting, babysitters almost always take an additional hit before passing. 1: How much do they pay you to babysit that blunt?
2: 7.50 an hour. |
4. | babysit | ||
Babysitting is something you do on date night because you have no date and need money, so you watch bratty kids, get payed 7 bucks a hour,clean up messes, and forced to watch the Sponge Bob Square Pants movie over and over and over again babysit-the only thing beside a fast food place you can work at.
5. | babysit | ||
To watch your friend while they are wasted out of their mind and don't know what's going on. "Dude, when you took those 69 hits of acid i had to babysit you for a week. You were out of your mind. I strapped you to the bed to keep you from running out into the street naked and killing the neighbors kids."
The above is a very extreme example of druggy babysitting. The below is a more average level of babysitting.... When he went into the K-Hole it was up to his friends to babysit him and keep him from swallowing his tounge, vomit, and that he doesn't have snot all over his face. |
7. | babysit | ||
the designated babysitter, also the designated driver. the one in the group who doesnt drink and makes sure the rest of the group is not killing eachother or anyone else. person 1"hey you coming to *said person*'s party on friday?

The United States has a very complex and tormented relationship with guns, and a debate format is just really not the best place to be exploring gun policy, gun violence and gun ownership. So I braced myself for a wild ride, and I got one.
Etsy's own policies state that they don't allow items that promote racially motivated hatred. So what's going on here?
Black hair deserves specialized attention and care. But that's no excuse for an overwhelming number of salons to turn away paying African-American customers.
All year long I look forward to October because it is the one month where I get to wet-blanket all over everyone's good time with my annoying cultural analysis.
freedom of speech
The Egyptian journalist, Mona Eltahawy, spray painted over what she deemed a racist and hateful poster, got into an argument with a woman who defended the poster and then got herself arrested. Could you be as badass as Mona Eltahawy?
electoral politics
It horrifies me that we still need to even have this, "Why Lynching Isn't Okay," conversation, but here we go. [WARNING: Violent images in this post may not be work-safe. Or life-safe.]
Romanticizing the culture and traditions of the people your community subjected to genocide is deeply, deeply gross.

Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-6) announced today that the Army Corps of Engineers beach replenishment project in Monmouth Beach is now underway.
The $8.5 million allocated for this project was awarded as a result of a request by Pallone in order to protect the area from the devastating effects of storms like Hurricane Sandy. A Sea Bright portion of the project is also planned.
The Army Corps of Engineers will place sand north of where the most recent local re-nourishment work was completed.
The corps started the work north of the Monmouth Beach and Tennis Club and will then move north toward Sea Bright. Congressman Pallone requested the funding before Hurricane Sandy. It was approved last year as part of fiscal year 2012's appropriations legislation.
"One month ago, when Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, we saw the clear value of flood mitigation projects like beach replenishment," Pallone said. "In many instances, beach replenishment and sand dunes are the reasons homes are still standing. While we can't turn back the clock and better protect the areas of the shore that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy, projects like this will help protect our towns from future storm damage, so we can rebuild a stronger New Jersey."
"The Army Corps is pleased to be able to partner with the state of New Jersey to conduct this coastal storm risk reduction work, especially in light of the recent severe impacts throughout the region from Hurricane Sandy," Army Corps New York District Commander Col. Paul Owen said. "As an added bonus, this work should not only help to mitigate some of the impacts of future coastal storms but will also help provide the community improved recreation and lead to economic benefits as well."
Following Sandy's devastating impact on New Jersey, Congressman Pallone requested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocate emergency funding to the Army Corps of Engineers so they may address immediate needs of impacted homeowners and businesses, as well as repair breached dunes and damaged beaches to protect New Jersey's coastal areas from future flooding.
Pallone also requested additional Army Corps of Engineers funds in an emergency supplemental appropriations bill to pay for flood protection projects that have been authorized but not yet funded for construction.

Beach replensihment is a terrible idea that is responsible for numerous drowning deaths over the past 18 years. The sand doesn't last and any surfing waves are eliminated. It is a total waste of money; money that would be better spent buying properties along the shoreline. Let nature take its course. Congress might as well pump dollar bills into the ocean.
9:48 am on Sunday, December 2, 2012
McGinty is correct,they have been pumping sand for decades and it is a huge waste of money.Palone is a typical politician who acts without thinking.I can remember many instances where sand was replenished and within weeks a nor'easter swept the sand right back out to sea.We need to respect nature and stop trying to control it .
1:32 pm on Sunday, December 2, 2012
They've spent billions over the decades replenishing the beaches.. You would think they'd learn Sand Does Not Stop Cyclones or Hurricanes.. It's Waste and Fraud.
I have spoken
2:20 pm on Monday, December 3, 2012
Why would anyone in their right mind believe Pallone? When was the last time he was honest.
RIP Fort Monmouth.

I don't go all out decorating the front of my house for every season or holiday. Some people do. I would like to add some interest during the long winter. I have some "snowflakes decoration" I bought a few yrs. ago. I think I will go on-line to get some more ideas. I didn't decorate for fall yet. Probably won't. (I used to when I first moved here, and have since lost interest). I need to get back into the swing of things again, and that includes decorating the front of my house! Do you decorate for wintertime? SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | |||
Decorate for the holidays, Halloween and Christmas. | ||||
I'm not very consistent with outdoor seasonal decor except for Christmas when we always put up some lights altho in recent years they've been less. Funny, how as one gets older those things seem more work than they're worth. I sometimes do fall decorating on the verandah. So far this year I've only hung a fall spray on the door and may not do more, not sure yet. We don't get any trick-or-treaters here in this rural location so not much incentive to decorate for Halloween. I always do indoor decor for every season, it's sort of become a hobby since I retired - didn't have time for it before and am enjoying it. Have you been on the General Decorating forum? - lots of links being posted and some pics already of fall decor. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
i normally never decorate for halloween but had this couple out front thru thanksgiving a few years ago. the weather eventually got them and 'mr & ms burlingame' are now history. i used to OD at christmas but, like you joyluck, the older i get the less i do. last year we didn't even do the one string of lights along the front roofline.. to my neighbors dismay. he is the one who helps me in the garden, and goes nutz decorating his place for fall and christmas including, but not limited to, lights in trees.. a graveyard scene on his lawn.. big blow up santa on the roof ~ the kind that is all collapsed the next morning and needs blowing up again. one year he convinced us to put up lights.. and said he would do it for us. every evening i came home from work, he had added more strings of lights.. on the roof, in shrubs, etc. it was fun and i never knew what to expect. alas, that was pre-digital camera days. | ||||
cute picture! I like the sitting scarecrows. I decorate my mailbox for fall and for Christmas...very little decorating anywhere else. The front porch stays decorated from spring until after Christmas, just seasonal stuff. I put up the fall stuff yesterday...not much. No one ever sees it anyway, so it's just for me! I no longer decorate for Christmas either.....agree, the older you get, the more work it seems. ve | ||||
I used to decorate outside for every holiday/season...but haven't in recent years. I may get back into when I finally locate all of my goodies. Some place I have a blow up skeleton that I used to always sit in our swing with his arm around the big blow up pumpkin! These are all the old...blow it up with your mouth type..OLD! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Except for Christmas, when I can still convince DH to hang a few lights, I limit my decorating to a seasonal door wreath. My Xmas one is fake fir boughs with a light dusting of fake snow and natural pine cones. I put a sparkly red bow on it during December and remove the bow for Jan/Feb, converting it to a "winter" wreath. I have the "September" wreath up now, which consists of grape leaves and frosted grape clusters in grapey shades of green, dull red, and purple on a twisted grapevine base. It's a few notches less colorful than the summer wreath with it's bright pastel-colored flowers and greenery which doesn't seem right for the more subdued palette of September's plantings. Next month, I'll hang the "autumn" wreath - grapevine base with dried oak leaves in gold and orange. In March, the "spring" wreath goes up... Forsythia blooms accented with a cluster of purple/yellow/pink pansies. And then, the cycle repeats. | ||||
I'm getting lazy as I get older. I only put up my deer and snowman (lighted) for Christmas on hte front porch. Like a lot of you I used to do a lot more. Enjoyed it. | ||||
Here's an idea I spotted at a local nursery> "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
Now THAT is really creative. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing this. I wonder how they held it together, hot glue maybe, on a form? Did you happen to notice any of the construction details? ve | ||||
Installing decorations and lights can be dangerous. Here are some simple safety tips for Spokane homeowners to follow when decorating their homes and rooftops for the winter. Finally, use common sense. Every year, many life-threatening injuries occur that could have been avoided by following simple safety guidelines. The roof decorations can be a beautiful way to help celebrate the upcoming holidays, and these safety tips will help get you there in one piece. | ||||
I have a large decorative Halloween flag, a smaller garden Halloween flag, a big wooden pumpkin and black cat that I made.. and a wreath on the door.. That's it this year. Don't mind putting the decorations up, its taking them down that's a pain. | ||||

Rochester country gal Jana Kramer performing in East Lansing
EAST LANSING – Jana Kramer, multitalented singer-songwriter and Rochester native, makes a stop at Wharton Center's Pasant Theatre on Nov. 3 as a part of her countrywide promotional singing tour.
Tickets are $30, on sale now at www.whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
Kramer is known for her role as Alex Dupre on the CW drama series "One Tree Hill," as well as her hit country song, "Why Ya Wanna."
Raised in Rochester, Mich., Kramer credits her country music success to baking cookies with her grandmother while listening to Patsy Cline.
Kramer left her hometown 10 years ago, and moved to Los Angeles to jump-start her career. She now has a large sampling of success tucked in her cowboy boots, as she is credited with supporting roles in top episodic TV shows such as the "90210" reboot, "CSI: NY," "Friday Night Lights," "Grey's Anatomy," and "Private Practice."
Taking what she calls a "leap of faith," Kramer moved to Nashville and transitioned from television to the big screen, recording Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear It For The Boy" on the soundtrack of the 2011 remake of the movie "Footloose."
After releasing her first solo album this year, Kramer is now lighting up country music with her emotionally moving songs and sweet, country vocals. She sold more than 150,000 digital solos in the first six months of her single "Why Ya Wanna," and ranked No. 5 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs, charted for the last 38 weeks.
Classifying her recent break into the music industry as one of her most important accomplishments to date, Kramer defines her life at this moment with the phrase "Dreams really do come true."
She describes music as her true passion in life. Continued...
"Country music is in my blood. I love country music because it tells a story, and I have a lot of stories to tell."
But Kramer admits to being afraid.
"I've been terrified to pursue this dream because it's so personal to me. … This is what I have always wanted to do. I've wanted to do music my entire life."

Forget fiddling around with nail art stamps and messy pens, Nail Rock has done all the hard work for you with these fantastic black lace on red print nail art designs.
Each set of nail stickers has enough wraps to do one full set of fingernails and toenails.
How to Nail Rock:
1 - Ease back cuticle and remove any nail polish.2 - Shape and file the nail edge.3 - Gently remove surface shine using a nail buffer or a smooth nail file.4 - Select Nail Rock Wrap nearest to your cuticle size. These can be trimmed to fit if needed.5 - Do not touch the adhesive side of the wrap that will be used on your nail.6 - Place at the cuticle edge and apply heat from a small or travel hairdryer for a few seconds until the wrap is hot, soft and pliable. It is important to keep the Nail Rock hot and pliable throughout the process, heating until it goes soft at each stage. The heat activates the adhesive and allows Nail Rock to fit over the curve of the nail. A travel hairdryer is the most effective.7 - While the wrap is still hot, applying firm pressure, press the wrap down onto one side of the nail. Re-heat, making sure the wrap is soft again and firmly press it down onto the other side of the nail.8 - Heat again and push firmly over the entire nail for a secure fit. If there is a crease; re-heat, gently lift the wrap off the nail and reapply adding further heat and firm pressure.9 - To complete the seal, heat the whole area again and then gently pull the excess part of the wrap over the filed edge of the nail so that the shape of the edge becomes apparent through the wrap. Pull firmly but be careful not to stretch the wrap.10- File off excess wrap at the end of the nail in a downward motion with a fine wooden file.A little practice, careful removal of the shine from the nail, plenty of heat and firm pressure will result in a stunning, long lasting finish.
To Remove:
1 - Apply heat and peel off gently 2 - Nail polish remover may be needed to remove residue adhesive.

Need help with Verbena bonariensis plants.
I've not ever seen a Verbena bonariensis plant growing but I'm considering growing it mixed in with milkweed next year. My thought is that the Verbena bonariensis reportedly blooms on tall thin stalks and is loved by the butterflies so it seems it would probably stick it's blooms up above the milkweed. I just don't know what the size the base of the plant looks like. We experience hot, humid summers and I don't want to cut off air flow around the milkweed plants.
Anyone ever grown this plant mixed in with Milkweed plants?

Recognized for her dynamic leadership and hands-on approach, Bishop has extensive experience working with public school districts, private and charter schools, and professional organizations in the education field.

Bishop's clients have included public and private corporations and non-profit organizations in the fields of education, environment, agriculture, specialty chemicals, law, banking, and utilities, among others.
Bishop earned a bachelor's degree in communications with a concentration in environmental studies from Cook College, Rutgers University.
Active in non-profit and professional organizations, Bishop serves on the board of trustees for the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, where she chairs the Nominating Committee, and is president of the Rancocas Conservancy, a land trust that has preserved nearly 2,000 acres in the Rancocas Creek Watershed in Burlington County, New Jersey.

It used to be that a company's online marketing efforts consist of having a Web page, sending out e-mails, and advertising on high-traffic sites. However, in this age of social networking sites – like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace – these efforts are no longer enough!
Social networking sites have allowed businesses big and small to be more interactive in the way they present their companies, brands, products, and services. Online marketing has ceased to be a one-way street where the businesses do all the talking and hope that their potential customers listen and try out their goods and services. Interactivity has become the key feature of online marketing on social networking sites.
Businesses can still advertise their products and services by sending out a Tweet or updating their Facebook status for all their followers and friends to see, or update them about the latest promotions and discounts. Meanwhile, customers can post questions and complaints in real time.
A company doing business on social networking sites can further keep itself ahead of the game by easily developing customer relationships and loyalty. You are no longer an
e-mail address promoting a product via spam, or a Web site they stumbled upon, but a profile with a real person behind it. This personal touch, which is an additional way of interacting with your customers, can make them feel connected and supported and in turn leads to more positive feelings and loyalty to your business. Anne Rice, for instance, just does not write great novels, she goes on Facebook to discuss any aspect of her characters as her fans ask her questions about them, or she conducts online writing workshops for her fans. Rice also speaks to them, making them feel that they are friends and that she, too, has her own hopes and dreams.
Social networking sites also provide a way for businesses to talk about their products in a more natural setting. You are not a business that intrudes on people as they read e-mails from friends and family, but you are part of the social network. That means that people will be more receptive to your pitch. If you provide a link to your Web site, people are also more inclined to click on it and visit your site.
More importantly, these links on social networking sites become new inbound links to your site, which makes your site rank higher on search engines. Few people realize that the links they put up on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook do not only point their friends and family to their site, they also point search engine spiders to their sites, making it seem more important and therefore making their site rank higher on Google, Yahoo and other search engines.

NEGAUNEE -- Four Upper Michigan lugers will be competing in Europe in a few weeks.
Fifteen-year-old twin brothers, Derek and Daryn Carter, will be competing in the World Cup Championship in Italy for natural track luging. They will be some of the youngest competitors at the championship.
The Carters and their two other teammates are high school students from Negaunee and Marquette. They've been training for years at Lucy Hill in Negaunee with their coach Tammy Wills. They will be representing the United States against nearly 30 other countries.
Their 17-day trip will also involve training with other teams in Germany, Austria, and Italy.
"I think it's going to be a lot of fun to go over there and train," said Daryn Carter. "It will be cool to see different tracks, other people, and to see how they do it in Europe."
"I think it's going to be a pretty good experience for us going over there and seeing different tracks and being able to train on other tracks," added Derek Carter.
Other team members include 15-year-old Derek Rogers of Negaunee and 16-year-old Liesel Demeuse of Marquette.
The team leaves for Europe on January 13, but they are still in need of financial assistance. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to their trip, write a check to the United States Luge Association with it earmarked for "natural track," or address it to the Upper Peninsula Luge Club.
