I can't do it.
I found out today I'm teaching the wrong thing.
I haven't sent out something I should have sent two weeks ago.
I'm not modifying for SPED students.
I have no grades and they are due Monday.
I'm supposed to be at a meeting right now.
Why, oh why, did I ever think I was any good at this?

I have so much hate.
I have worked all weekend grading papers and realizing that I have taught my students nothing.
And all I feel is hate.
Toward myself for failing them. Toward myself for not being able to do anything else. Toward life for keeping me where I am doing what I am doing.
My constant companion.

How do I hate thee?
Let me count the ways.
I hate thee with every beat of the heart you betrayed.
I hate thee as I pick up every piece of the self-confidence you shattered.
Your selfishness broke my dreams.
As I breathe in I hate thee, and as my breath leaves my body my hate does not.
It clings; it festers. It coats my insides like tar on a sea bird. I gaze inward to a shriveled, blackened soul, and I desire nothing more than to be clean. How can I free myself from you?
You sail free, unfettered, dropping your poison on unsuspecting fools who know no better than to stand, mouths open, mistaking fertilizer for food.
If you could be crushed...if I knew others could be safe...No, I lie.
I want to be safe. I want to know you can never again harm me.
Love my enemy?
Love is dangerous.
Love, or forgiveness, means you can hurt me. Love means risk.
Extend my neck so you can guillotine it? Lend a hand so you can chop it off? Never again.
Blackened, shriveled, poisoned and deformed I and my hate may be but we are as we choose. You choose to harm, but I choose to hate.
I can't choose where I work. I can't choose what I do. I can't choose whether I will receive recognition for what I do. But I am completely free to choose my emotions.
My internal landscape is completely my own. And I choose to hate you.
Should I never be released from your presence, before I cease to draw breath, I will but hate you more after death.

Texian, I am very worried about your postings. Having suffered from depression myself and remembering how I felt, I wonder if you are in a deep depression. Please find someone to help you, as I did. It is only an imbalance in brain chemicals, and the proper medication will help you feel much better about your self and your life.
Please let me know that you are seeking help.

Thank you guys for being concerned. I knew better than to read the posts at work, but thank God I wore my crying mascara. I usually do, just to be on the safe side.
I know I am depressed. I have been on medication once, when all the world was going to hell (divorce, father dying, foot surgery...all in the same month) but the last time I tried that medication it made me throw up.
And I don't want medication to be the answer. Because medication means acceptance.
I refuse to accept.
I refuse to accept that I deserve the things that happen to me. The world seems to be telling me that I don't have value or ability. When a school that everyone says "Are you sure you want to work THERE?" won't hire you, you must really be trash. I will not accept that, nor will I medicate myself into acceptance.
I am beautiful, talented, and truly gifted at administration.
I don't deserve having the job I want and that I am truly good at within my grasp three times, each time having it snatched away.
I don't deserve having to wait six years for something that I have turned my life upside-down to get. For which I have sacrified money and time and relationships.
I don't deserve having to choose between buying batteries for the smoke alarm and buying food.
I am the one nobody hires. After six years it has become my identity.
I don't deserve it.
And I will not accept it.

If you don't prescription medications, you can try St. John's Wort. I take it every day, as well as Omega 3 (the Inuit have no incidence of depression despite month-long nights), and Black Cohosh (good for women's mood changes). I am doing very well now.

I got a call out of the blue for a job I applied for a month ago. I had given up on it.
I thought this might be it.
I thought the interview I went on last week was prep for this one. (It was.) I thought that I would learn from all the mistakes I made then and not make them. (I did.)
I thought that the reason I didn't get the other job was because this one, that I wanted more, was waiting for me.
I went to the interview and it was great. One of the best I've ever had. I asked them what the ideal qualities for the job would be and they said all the answers to their questions were the right ones. (Not quite what I asked but okay.) I even wrote thank-you notes out in the car and took them in after.
They haven't called to check my references.
And when I called today and asked their timeline they said they had a week's worth of paperwork to do.
You don't have to do paperwork to offer the job. You have to do paperwork to hire.
This is like being tortured. The jobs appear and I apply and I get called and I think "I'm out of here!" and then I don't get them. It so resembles when I was pregnant with my son.
I would sleep for an hour and a half. I would get up and go to the bathroom and then the contractions would start. I would endure four - six hours of excruciating pain until they stopped. I would then sleep for another hour and a half and then my daughter would be ready to start her day.
I went nuts. If I had been a man, the experience would have been called
instead of
the discomfort of late pregnancy
. The worst part of the experience was each night thinking that this was the end, that I would deliver and it would all stop. But night after night it never did.
It took all my energy to hide how crazy I was from my daughter and family. I wasn't successful in hiding it from my husband, and I didn't really try. I trusted him. When we divorced, he betrayed that trust by telling me the kids weren't safe with me (13 years later) because of the way I acted during that experience.
This is like that. Each interview I think it will be over, that my problems will be solved, and each time they never are. Unlike a pregnancy, however, this doesn't have an end in sight. Even though I felt like I was in hell and that the pain and torture would never end and I had been pregnant forever and would be pregnant forever, part of me knew that eventually I would deliver the baby.
But this? This could go on until the day I die.
I understand they need a man for the job. If they had a man apply, even if he wasn't as good, they should have hired him.
When you are dealing with a school full of troubled boys and girls you do not need an all-female administrative team. Especially when the students are older.
I don't know if that's why I didn't get it. I don't actually know, officially, that I didn't. But the tone of the principal's voice wasn't right for someone who got it.
I am so tired of trying and failing. I am so tired of teaching, which I don't want to do. I am so tired of not being able to afford a movie, or a dinner out, or treats for my students.
I want to be able to look in my refrigerator and know that I can eat what I want and there will be enough money to replace the food that is there.
I don't want to wonder if I print a paper if I am trading food for the ink.
But most of all, I want to be the best I what I do. And I will never be the best as long as my heart is longing for something else.

The Pennebaker Method.
I just read about it. (I'm supposed to be doing school work.)
But I can't focus.
There seems to be a veil between me and the world.
Sounds don't make sense.
I mean, I hear them, and I understand them, but I don't see any point.
Those are habits.
I looked at people in Wal-Mart today, as I was waiting for the tire I couldn't afford to buy to be installed, and I couldn't figure out why they were there.
Life really does seem like that Claritin commercial, when there is a film over the world.
Only I don't know how to lift it away.
Were those people happy? How? Why? They smile, they buy food, they raise their children, but why?
So they can fail them?
So they can fail themselves?
Or am I the only one?
Which is worse?
To be alone in failure, or to have company?
I can't lie and pretend I wanted the new job for my daughter.
I wouldn't have been trying for six years if that were true.
But what is true is that I became so desperate this year in part because of her.
She is a senior, and she has never had a car. I can't give her one. She will never experience the freedom and independence I had because with having to take Karate for PE outside of school and having to visit her dad every other weekend she can't get a job.
If she had a car she would have more independence and flexibility. Maybe she could somehow find a job that would fit in to her crazy schedule if her crazy schedule didn't have to mesh with mine. But it does.
So she is left with spending her days in isolation, and I can't make it any better or any different.
And I wanted to, so much.
I have watched her trade her life for a relationship with her dad, and I wanted, somehow, to be enough so she wouldn't have to.
But I'm not.
I don't have enough value. No one wants me enough.
And I WILL NOT make a decision that depends on him.
If I could depend on him I'd still be married to him.
I can't even depend on him enough to put food on the table.
I failed her. I know she doesn't care but that's because she doesn't know what she is missing. But I do.

Okay, that was a pile of incoherent crap, but the truth is there among the poop.
Speaking of which, I went to a party last night and someone put dye in the cake icing which has resulted in deep green feces, and let me tell you that if that one don't freak ya out and all I can say it I hope the *%^@ stuff comes out of my underwear...
To state things more coherently...
I feel like our daughter has been failed by her father, who has spent the last two years without employment or the ability to truly support her. (As of this moment, the man owes me over $8,300.) I just muddled along the last two years but this year I really, really wanted to get a promotion so I could buy her a car. I will not do anything that relies on his contribution because he is so unreliable, so I tried to get a job that would be equal to his contribution but only relied on me. In essence, I tried to be both mother and father in a financial sense. Failure not only meant I could not provide the luxury of a vehicle, but that I could also not provide the basics of food, clothing, and shelter at the level I had been, since my demotion resulted in a loss of $300 per month and his lack of employment meant I also did not get his contribution of $530 a month. (We have been divorced for sixteen months, and I have gotten child support for eight. I have never gotten the health insurance though.)
I have watched my daughter choose between having a social life and having a relationship with her dad. I thought a car would ease that choice. I thought it would be a necessary step toward independence. By not getting the job, I feel I have failed her. She remains trapped, and so do I.

I wrote this down on a paper, but I really need to get rid of the paper since it will be too dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands.
Teachers don't trust each other to implement changes.
Teachers don't trust the district to support them.
Teachers don't trust the principal to support them. (Ie: what I teach now I will continue to teach. If I am deficient I will be supported, not disciplined or removed.)
More and more, the adversarial relationship between teachers and administration becomes evident.
Do your job. How many times have I heard "Just do your job." Here is my answer.
Do your job? Yes, with these conditions. Do your job without support or direction, with the understanding that improvement is solely your responsibility and only deficiencies will be recognized.
Okay, now I can throw that paper away.

I understand now why I have never gotten an administrative position. It is because I suck.
Anybody know of a job for an ex-teacher that pays around $45,000 a year?

The power to settle financial complaints.
This resource is intended primarily for businesses, consumer advisers and other professionals who are comfortable with technical information – and want more in-depth analysis. It sets out the ombudsman's usual approach to the disputes we see involving the financial products and services that are complained about most.
In April 2013 we started the process of making the individual final decisions of our ombudsmen publicly available – as required by the new Financial Services Act 2012 and following earlier consultation and feedback. We published an update on our approach to this in March 2013.
The decisions will name the business but not the consumer – and they will be available in a searchable database on this page.
As part of the practical arrangements involved in publishing decisions, there will be a short delay between an ombudsman sending out their decision to the two parties in each case – and that decision being made available on our website. This is because we need to allow a short period for the two parties to respond, once they have received a decision. This means that after the process begins in April, decisions will start appearing on the website in early summer.
As we will not be publishing ombudsman decisions retrospectively, we also want to make sure that when the new database first goes live, it will hold enough decisions to show the full range of work we do.
our series of factsheets [in PDF format] giving a quick and informal overview of a range of technical issues:

2013-2014 Board of Editors
The University of Illinois Law Review invites you to join us in congratulating the following members who have been elected to the 2013-2014 Board of Editors:
Editor-in-Chief: Jackie Waldman
Managing Editor: Whitney Merrill
Executive Editor: Andrew Barrios
Executive Production Editor: Benjamin Sunshine
Managing Articles Editor: Laura Miller
Articles Editors: Nick Battey, Joe Bozdech, Conor Craft, Kristen Hosack, and Kristen Isaacson
Managing Notes & Comments Editor: Kathryn LaCoste
Notes & Comments Editors: Marissa Meli, Dave Pattee, Yeji Suh, Marisa Young, and Kristen Sweat
Volume 2013, Issue 1
The Board of Editors is pleased to present Issue 1 of the 2013 Volume of the Illinois Law Review.
First, Professor Sperino demonstrates the theoretical and practical difficulties of importing proximate cause principles into employment discrimination law.
Next, Professor Morag-Levine offers an alternative reading of the origins of the Brandeis Brief and of its relation to the constitutional conflicts of the Lochner era.
Following, Professor Tabb demonstrates how the financial world for which the 1978 Bankruptcy Code was written has fundamentally changed, with the rise of dominant secured creditors. This has upset the balance of power, rendering the Code's scheme obsolete with regard to credit bidding.
Next, Professor Lewinsohn-Zamir challenges the conventional wisdom that monetary remedies are usually a satisfactory substitute for in-kind redress.
Further, Professor Kairys reveals stark differences between the Court's treatment of modes of speech available to people of ordinary means, and modes available to corporations and the wealthy, and argues that this disparate treatment skews, corrupts, and undermines the democratic process.
The issue concludes with notes by Thomas Berghman, David M. Cummings, and Caitlin T. Harrington.
Volume 2012, Issue 5
The Board of Editors is pleased to present Issue 5 of the 2012 Volume of the Illinois Law Review.
First, Professor Emens proposes using framing rules to target the moments when nondisabled people make decisions that implicate their future relationship to disability. The Article examines several domains to which the inside framing perspective could be applied—including thinking about the kind of children we want, injury prevention campaigns, and contingency planning—in which disability is frequently presented in negative terms.
Next, Professors Garoupa and Morriss argue that a focus on legal systems' ability to cheaply identify efficient rules, restrain rent-seeking in the formulation and application of rules, adapt rules to changed conditions, reveal the law to those affected by it, and enable contracting around inefficient rules would be more appropriate than the current emphasis on labels such as Common Law and Civil Law.
Following, Professor Kar draws upon and develops contemporary findings in in a broad range of cognate fields around the understanding of human prehistory to reconstruct the most plausible genealogical shape of Western legal prehistory, and suggests a number of important but underappreciated relationships that obtain between our modern Western traditions and a range of other Eurasian traditions with which the West has typically been contrasted.
Next, Professor Pushaw demonstrates the historical evidence reveals that the Founders understood "commerce" as including only commercial interactions—voluntary sales of products and services and accompanying activities intended for the marketplace, such as manufacturing goods for sale, paid transportation, and banking.
The issue concludes with notes by Scott A. Cromar, Max H. Deleon, Megan McMillen, and Elizabeth L. Rowe.

Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny Dr. Matthew McAlees edited by Dr. Brian Bartholomew
Old superstition: You are at the mercy of your genes.
Fact: You control which genes you turn on of off.
We have moved away from the out dated view that the almighty DNA decided everything about you and your health. The decades where you were a helpless passenger on this journey called life and that you had no control of your health destiny are over. Science and wellness experts now know better.
Another huge study published in the April issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine stated that carrying the "obesity gene" did not doom you to a life of obesity! What made the difference you ask? Physical activity turned turn the "obesity gene" off, imagine that. That is right, we all have genes for many health conditions, ailments or for abundant wellness but it is how we live, how we turn on or turn off those genes that makes us healthy or ill. Each of us has the ability to turn off genes for diseases from obesity to cancer and heart disease.
"These findings have important public health implications, and indicate that meeting the physical activity recommendations may offset the genetic predisposition to obesity associated with the FTO [gene variant] in adolescents," said lead researcher Jonatan R. Ruiz, a scientist in physical activity and fitness epidemiology at the Karolinska Institute in Huddinge, Sweden.
What does this mean to you? You aren't at the mercy of your genes! Whether it is a team sports, playing catch walking, running, football or riding bicycles, the human body was designed to move and move we must.
Many totally negate this fact when they spend hours on the computer, video games watching TV or sitting around. These things literally kill the body faster and add unneeded pounds to our waistline.
So what can you do? Start moving today! Get going! The great news is that it doesn't take hours of exercise to get the benefit discussed in the study. Burst training for just 12 min can revolutionize your health. Burst training is interval training that maximizes growth hormone and minimized the stress hormone cortisol. Ways to burst training can be found on our website www.ithacachiropractic.com under 'wellness' and videos can be found by google searching burst training or stop in the office and ask us about the best ways to get in the shape of your life.

Survey Shows Kids Will Do (Almost) Anything for Gifts
By: Amanda Ashley
Updated: November 27, 2012
Clean their rooms? Check. Give up playtime? Yep. Eat spinach every day for a year, maybe not.
According to the retailer's Talking Holiday Toys Survey, 68 percent of kids said they would clean their rooms daily for a year, while 84 percent would work hard and give up playtime. But only 23 percent of kids would eat spinach for a year to get their holiday toys.
The Talking Holiday Toys Survey, which polled 1,009 children between the ages of 3 - 11 and their parents.
While the majority of kids seemed to think their behavior impacts the amount of holiday toys they get, 78 percent of parents plan to buy the same amount of toys for their children regardless of how naughty or nice they've been throughout the year.
A few more interesting stats:
Nearly twice as many kids as their parents say they found their gifts before the big morning (23 percent vs. 14 percent).
The top hiding place? The closet.
The top toy gifts parents want to give: "toys that teach."
Kids top toys: dolls and action figures.

The space I have is a 20' x 20' plot.
For a 4' x 8' bed I was told I could grow three traditional melon plants per bed. However the varieties I'm growing are bush types and have short vines; they're more compact, bred to be grown in confined spaces.
How many bush type melons/squash could I grow in a raised bed?
Since vines are short, would I even need to trellis the melons/squash? Also, since it's a raised bed, they wouldn't have to grown in hills, would they?
What would the plant spacing need to be for an individual plant? It just says how far apart to space w/plant spacing if grown in hills, not individual plants; this would be for bush type melons and squash.

'School Gun-Free Zones Paint Big Targets'
With a bullet found at West Middle and in the wake of the Newtown tragedy, an area firearms instructor says it's time those licensed to concealed and carry that work at schools to have guns available.
Friday's mass shooting in a Newtown, CT, elementary school prompted many discussions this weekend regarding whether school staffs now should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon (CCW). Hazelwood parents may feel even more anxous as a bullet was found at Hazelwood West Middle School on Monday. Administration says it is actively investigating the incident. Greg and Loni Pugh teach firearms handling and safety every day from their privately owned and operated business called St. Louis CCW. Guns Need to be in Schools. "I believe we saw the answer on Friday," Greg said. "They give people who are intent to do harm a government guarantee that they will be the only ones with a gun in our schools. "Then government officials pretend to be …

Rhubarb and Almond Crumble

Although my own rhubarb crop is only about 3 inches high at present, there is plenty of the early forced rhubarb in the shops and it's never better than in this most English of puddings. On Sundays we serve it with proper custard, an extra luxurious addition.
Serves 6
Ingredients |
2 lb (900 g) rhubarb |
4 oz (110 g) golden caster sugar |
1 rounded teaspoon grated fresh root ginger |
For the crumble: |
4 oz (110 g) whole almonds, skin on |
3 oz (75 g) chilled butter, cut into small dice |
6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour, sifted |
2 level teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 level teaspoon ground ginger |
4 oz (110 g) demerara sugar |
To serve: |
custard or pouring cream |
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C). |

You will also need either an oval ovenproof baking dish measuring 7½ x 11 inches (19 x 28 cm) and 1¾ inches (4.5 cm) deep, or a round ovenproof baking dish with a diameter of 9½ inches (24 cm) and 1¾ inches (4.5 cm) deep. |
This recipe is taken from Delia's Vegetarian Collection
Begin by preparing the rhubarb. First of all wash it, then trim off the leaves and cut the stalks roughly into 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Next, toss them in a bowl with the sugar and freshly grated root ginger, then place them in the baking dish and keep on one side.
Now make the crumble, which couldn't be simpler, as it is all made in a food processor. All you do is place the butter, sifted flour, cinnamon, ground ginger and sugar in the processor and give it a whiz till it resembles crumbs. Next, add the almonds and process again, not too fast, until they are fairly finely chopped and there are still a few chunky bits.
If you don't have a processor, in a large bowl, rub the butter into the sifted flour until it resembles crumbs, then stir in the almonds, which should be fairly finely chopped by hand, cinnamon, ginger and sugar.
Now you need to press the rhubarb very firmly with your hands all over the base of the dish to spread it evenly without too many large lumps sticking out. Then simply sprinkle the crumble mixture all over the rhubarb, spreading it right up to the edges of the dish, and, using the flat of your hands, press it down quite firmly all over; the more tightly it is packed together the crisper it will be. Then finish off by lightly running a fork all over the surface.
Now bake the crumble on the centre shelf of the oven for 35-40 minutes, by which time the rhubarb will be soft and the topping golden brown and crisp. Leave it to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving, then serve it warm with custard, pouring cream or ice cream.
One of my favourites with this would be Hill Station Stem Ginger Ice Cream, available at Sainsbury's and other supermarkets.

Sell your work: Memoirs
Sell your work: Memoirs
A memoir is a reckoning. Are you ready to 'invade another's space'?
By Gregory Martin
Published: August 9, 2010
Your memoir is in its final stages of revision. Readers of your manuscript—experienced writers you trust be-cause they have a track record of not telling you what you want to hear—are telling you to send it out. Now the most difficult question you face has nothing to do with craft and everything to do with your willingness to do harm.
All good stories explore conflict and suffering. As Charles Baxter put it: Heaven is not story-friendly. Memoir explores the conflict and suffering in the lives of real people, and no matter how hard you try—to implicate yourself, to aim for fairness and compassion over score-settling, to flee the moral high ground and the dubious poses of victim, martyr, avenging angel—there is no avoiding it: Your story will inflict damage—willful damage—on real people. The truth hurts. It hurts you, and it hurts your characters, who are not—not really, not ever—words on a page.
There is no "getting it right." You try your best to tell the truth as you experienced it. But the only inner life you know is your own. The rest is speculation. You are turning real people into characters. This is an offense, a violation, a trespass, and you should ac-knowledge it and permit yourself to be unsettled by what you are about to do. In
The Faith of a Writer: Life, Craft, Art
, Joyce Carol Oates writes: "To write is to invade another's space, if only to memorialize it; to write is to invite angry censure. ... Art by its nature is a transgressive act, and artists must accept being punished for it. The more original and unsettling their art, the more devastating the punishment."
I have had people I love not talk to me for years because of something I wrote and published. They did not dispute the truth of what I'd written. They wanted to know why I couldn't have just kept the story to myself. Good question. The world is full of stories. Ask yourself: Why does the world need yours? What absence in the world does your story address and attempt to fill?
To answer this question affirmatively likely requires more faith in yourself, and the vision expressed by your work, than you usually grant yourself. Which is as it should be. The art of memoir, by its very nature, comes equipped with its own built-in litmus test: How willing are you to expose and hurt real people in the pursuit of some larger, difficult to justify, greater purpose?
Conflict in fiction hurts aesthetically, which is another way of saying that the hurt is a kind of pleasure. Memoir inflicts this pleasure as well, as long as the reader is not a "character" in the book, or as long as the reader does not love a "character" in the book in real life. Make a list of the characters in your book. Add to this list the people who love the characters in your book. Imagine facing each of these people, one at a time, in a small, quiet room. What will they say? What will you say in return?
A memoir is a reckoning, and among its final reckonings is the author's decision to tell the story at all. If you are not properly unsettled by these questions, if you are not even remotely tempted to abandon your story because of the possibilities these questions call to mind, then perhaps your story has not explored and dramatized its conflicts fully enough. Mary Karr said of writing her third memoir,
, "I threw this book away twice. I walked around in my bathrobe for three days and made ob-scene gestures at the rafters."
Can you stand by your own limited account? Do you believe your story will do more good than harm? Do you need to seek certain people's permission to tell this story? Do you need to at least let these people read your draft before submission, so that you might give audience to their concerns and allow them to enlarge your sense of your story and its stakes?
I'm often asked by students in memoir workshops some version of the questions: Can I be sued? Do I need to have my story vetted by lawyers? My answer is that, if your story is accepted for publication, your editor can think this through with you. But you need to think hard about the real-life implications of your work long before it reaches any editor. If you have, and afterward, if you can't quite breathe deeply, if you become aware of a low-level underlying anxiety to all your waking hours, a kind of agony, at the thought of what might happen if your story does get published, then may-be you're ready for submission.

Thank you so much for that sage advice. Like Lynne, I can't afford an attorney right now either. I have several issues that I dealt with while raising my two severely emotionally disturbed children. Although they profoundly affected my life and my attitude, I am afraid to write the truth because I am afraid of the effect it could have on my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I am still torn up after reading the above, but I am now better equipped to deal with the question to include or not to include.

This is a REALLY great article. Since the bulk of my memoir is about my crack-addicted brother who fleeced our Grandmother of her life savings, libel is a major concern - even though he's currently couch-surfing at the whim of various friends (i.e. pretty much homeless), I'm not losing any sleep worrying he'll file a lawsuit. While I've changed MAJOR details like everyone's names (including writing under a pseudonym), the locale in which certain events occurred, etc., makes me feel little anxiety about getting sued. However, it's easy to forget that there could be libelous issues regarding other friends/relatives who are integral "players" in my memoir's story world.I don't want to be TOO confident, so your verbiage above made me do a DOUBLE take/re-examine every plotline, etc.in order to bullet-proof my memoir from litigation. I can't afford an attorney right now...So, THANKS!

Perfect for large groups or several families vacationing together, Kokomo Key is brand new and beautifully furnished with 2 master suites, a summer kitchen and big patio area around the pool, state-of-the-art electronics, and a magnificent 2nd-storey patio that opens up into the living room, blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors! A gorgeous European-style house painted in soft pastels and tastefully decorated, Kokomo Key will win your heart and let your whole group enjoy the beach in utter luxury! Of course, it may be hard to get everyone into the house, once they see the patio and pool area. Surrounded by a sturdy fence and lush tropical landscaping, this brick courtyard is the perfect place any time of day or night! The heated pool has a safety rail and shallow steps for easy access (great for limbering up first thing in the morning with some water aerobics!), the spa is fabulous, and the lounging area includes both sunny and shady spots, so everyone can soak up just enough rays. Best of all, the summer kitchen (grill, sink, granite countertops) and dining table are in a lighted, covered area, and a fun exterior spiral staircase winds up to the 2nd-floor balcony to join the two main outdoor areas. Oh, you're going to love this space! When it's finally time to go inside, you'll wonder what on earth took you so long -- because the interior of Kokomo Key is every bit as attractive as the outside! The first floor, just in from the patio, contains 2 bedrooms, a common bath (easy to access from outside -- no wet footprints tracking through the house!), and 2 bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed, the other with 2 twins, and both with great views of the pool and patio. The elevator is here, so take it right up to the second floor! This is the main living and dining area of the house, and also contains one of the master suites. Make yourself at home in our huge living room, boasting bamboo flooring, a decorative fireplace, a sleeper sofa and loveseat, and a flat-screen TV with DVD player and Surround Sound. A double set of doors opens the living room up to the balcony lanai, extending the space dramatically and enabling you to enjoy the priceless golf course and pool views! Perfect for a large gathering, this room brings the outdoors inside, so you can enjoy the balmy Florida weather from the comfort of the couch! The dining room is also an extension of the living space, set in alcove surrounded by windows with breathtaking views. Dine formally here, or break out the Risk and Pictionary and have a family game night around the big table! (You have free wireless Internet at Kokomo Key too, so bring along any electronics you wish.) You're just steps away from the screened balcony in this area, too. Even if you're only preparing a blenderful of frosty drinks or reheating the leftovers from Harry's of St. Augustine, our kitchen will make you feel like a professional chef. All the finest stainless-steel appliances are here, plus every bit of cookware, dishes, and utensils you could desire. The countertops are granite; the island features a breakfast bar with 3 stools; the pantry is waiting to stash all your groceries. You even have lovely lake and gold course views from this room! The 2nd-floor master suite is palatial, with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, private balcony, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and cozy reading nook. But if you feel guilty about "grabbing the good room," the 3rd floor also has a master with a king-sized bed, table and full lounging area, flat-screen TV, and en-suite bath with tub and shower! Prepare to be wowed by the Ocean Hammock resort too, with every amenity and miles of private beach just waiting to be enjoyed. Come to Kokomo Key for the vacation of a lifetime!

Suggested power amp for using POD HD live
Like (0)
So, my POD HD live comes tomorrow, and i'm going to be selling my Peavey Valve king to gather some money to get a decent power amp..,
My question is, what power amp should I get? I have no idea.
I know the POD HD has no signal amplification to it so I will need a power amp to drive. I would prefer a tube model but I know they can be pretty expensive.
f.ex., Atomic are specialized in amps for modellers: http://www.atomicamps.com/products.htm
otherwise, any power amp with full-range speakers will do also well
Pick up a used Line 6 Spider Valve HD100 and use the effects loop return for your power amp. It's 100W, tube, and you can even use the Master Volume on stage instead of your Pod. Works like a charm!
Plus, if you get the newer one (mkii), you can use MIDI to control the head and use a completely different patch from the floorboard vs the head. That might be nice to get a good mix for the soundguy while having your stage setup tuned for live use.
I've always heard the VHT/Fryette 2:50:2 or 2:90:2 are the best guitar power amps you can buy. I'm not sure if they're good for full-range sound or not, but I would assume so. They're designed to be run into guitar speaker cabs, so you'd use the cab with "stack power amp" output mode. You could potentially run them with the Pod's cab/mic emulation on, running into full range speakers; but I can't vouch for what it would sound like.
Other good guitar-centric options are the Mesa/Boogie 2:90 or for the older and cheaper model Mesa/Boogie 2:95 (also called Simul 295). The 2:90 has a few added voicing features - I believe one extends the bass range, and another is designed to "tighten" the sound. I own a 2:95 and have loved it for years, except for its size.
I have the mesa 2:90, but im having some confusion to how to hook it up together. I wanna try out the deep, modern and 1/2 settings, but I don't know how to use them. I am hoping i can find some way to use it, im curious as to how much difference it would make to my tones. Help Please! lol
It's a stereo power amp. You can run a mono signal from the pod to either side for a straight mono tone into a single cab. Or You run stereo out from the pod into each side and can output each side to its own speaker cab to get stereo sound. I believe the voicing switches do what you'd think they'd do and there's no trick to using them other than flipping them on
Cheers guys!
What you've all suggested is helping me close in on my desired power amp
Worth checking out the Rocktron Velocity too if you don't mind solid state.
I'd keep the Valve King and just run the Pod into it's FX loop return! At least give it a shot before you sell it off for something else. I run mine into the return of a Mesa Stiletto and it sounds great.
Just realized my reply is a year too late...doh!

The Sewage Sludge Action Network has become involved in helping parents and concerned citizens in Alamance County, North Carolina to halt spraying of sewage sludge adjacent to elementary schools. With reports of higher than normal student illness and absenteeism rates, the practice needs to stop. The City of Burlington and the Alamance County Board of Education have been put on notice having been provided ample scientific evidence to suggest a causal relationship. To not act in protecting children from being exposed to the dangerous chemicals and pathogens contained in sewage sludge constitutes nothing less than willful negligence.

Client: Pulp-Paper Mill and Packaging Business
Challenge: Identify Creative Approach to Finding Value
A leading U.S. forest products company was selling a large pulp and paper mill plus a packaging business in South Carolina. Given the industry economics and its labor-intensive nature, the buyer could make the deal work only if employees agreed to wage concessions in return for shares in the new company, and assurances that pensions and other benefits would be honored. To fund the $280 million transaction, the buyer needed to secure financing for approximately $200 million. The lenders realized, however, that if the new company's assets were appraised only for their value in the event of a liquidation, the real estate and machinery would not yield nearly enough to let the deal go through. Needing a more creative approach, several lenders recommended the buyer contact AccuVal.
Instead of taking the traditional removal-value approach, AccuVal thought a business enterprise approach was more appropriate and could yield the value necessary to complete the deal. However, the appraisal team faced some hurdles. Because the company had been part of a diversified global company, separate financials for the spin-off did not exist. AccuVal worked with the former parent company in reconstructing the financials of the spin-off business. The firm also looked at the spin-off's income streams and determined that its converting operations had substantial values that could be leveraged. In addition, AccuVal analyzed market demand as well as the utilization of machinery, and recommended ways to generate higher machine-time profit margins.
AccuVal demonstrated to the lenders a business enterprise valuation that was not only more appropriate for the industry but also reflected the true nature of the assets. The lenders agreed and approved the $200 million debt financing.
In-depth experience in the pulp and paper industry. An ability to assess and solve difficult transactions with innovative solutions. A reputation recognized globally by investors, money-center banks, venture capitalists and financial syndicators. That's The AccuVal AdVantage™ at work.
