Miami Dade College's Homestead Campus will host "Poland in the Shadow of Auschwitz," Thursday morning as part of the annual Holocaust Education Week.
The college's Holocaust and Genocide Education Program, and its partner Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, will put on the all-day presentation to spotlight 1,000 years of history between Jewish and Polish people, and Poland's coming to terms with the Holocaust.
The presentation will describe changes in commemoration and memorialization happening in Poland. It will feature visiting Polish scholar Katarzyna Suszkiewicz, 29, a doctoral candidate at the Jagiellonian University Center for Holocaust Studies in Krakow.
"It will cover more or less the presence of Jews in Poland from the 11th century, to the Holocaust period," Suszkiewicz said.
The presentation will take place from 9:50 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at MDC Homestead Campus, 500 College Terrace.
Suszkiewicz said the numbers of Jewish people in Poland went from several million before World War II to only several thousand afterward, but there is now an influx back into the country.
"There is a very visible revival of Jews in Poland," she said.
Not only are the numbers increasing, but the relationships between Jewish and non-Jewish people are improving as well.
"It's getting better but [you] can't expect it to change in one day," Suszkiewicz said.
She credited the improvement to changes Poland has undergone during the last 60 years.
For example, the Holocaust has been a mandatory aspect of Poland's education system since 1999. Teachers train on how to teach the Holocaust.
Another reason for the interest is a change in generations, according to Suszkiewicz. She said the younger generation is much more open than the older one.
"There's an urge among young people to learn about the past — about things unspoken," Suszkiewicz said.

From NBC's Andy Merten and Abby Livingston
Something that's been missing from the political landscape since the writer's strike have been laughs. The candidates have tried to fill the void, not always successfully. Comedy on the campaign trail can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes a quick quip can endear a candidate to hundreds, but sometimes candidates' attempts at funny solicit more eye-rolling than knee-slapping.
Just last night, Clinton went on Letterman and said that for eight weeks, Dave's been off the air; "Oh well, all good things come to an end," she panned. Since they've hit the trail nearly a year ago, candidates' jokes have run the gamut: from the good, the bad, to the just plain ugly. On the stump, during debates, and even in paid television ads, candidates have used humor to woe early state voters -- and often faltered.
Clinton has joked about "evil men" and knowing something about that; Romney dropped a line from his repertoire about a hotel worker seeing his wife in a towel; and Obama has also joked about his marriage and doing laundry.

Airbrush technicians apply a fine mist of tanning solution on skin to create an even, deep, natural-looking glow. Airbrush tans are safer than exposure to harmful UV rays and don't carry the risk of dripping or streaking like booth spray tanning does. The solution takes about 15 to apply, and the tan will last up to 10 days. Tanned Envy encourages customers to moisturize their skin, as that will help the bronzed color last longer.

For owners Holt and Randi Field, the main tools they work with are their hands. The pair of massage therapists deftly uses them in a range of modalities, customizing each session with hot stones that melt stress, deep-tissue kneads that target muscle knots, and gentler strokes that accommodate expectant mothers. They enhance these strokes with a range of add-ons, including the herb scents emitting from their steaming hot towels, the stress-relieving pressure of reflexology, and the skin renewing of the dry-brush exfoliation. The pair makes a point to never rush a client out of a room, instead ensuring visitors have time to adjust back to the daily grind or a packed schedule of shouting apocalyptic prophecies on the street corner.
As a massage therapist for 17 years and an Army officer for more than two decades, Lynn Wood knows a lot about the limits, strengths, and health of the human body. Lynn helps her clients fight away worries as well as aches, pains, and injuries with four types of massage treatments. She takes particular pride in the fact that her practice is different from most corporate establishments. Whispering Waters Massage Therapy doesn't require any membership plans. Lynn also doesn't pander for tips or sell any products, and she never cuts sessions short in order to rush in the next clients or yell the surprise twist at people waiting for a movie.
Aqua Blue Beauty & Bodyworks' staff enhances traditional spa services with advanced technologies. The result is a menu of multivitamin facials and laser treatments that safely eradicate hair, tattoos, and enemy TIE fighters.

The specialists go so far as to share their secrets with students at an in-house skin institute that offers certification courses in microdermabrasion, eyelash extensions, and micropigmentation.
Su's Beauty and Barber combines a hair salon and a barber shop in one sleekly decorated, 4,300 square-foot space. Hot-pink accents pep up the salon side, where stylists trim long hair and perform chemical treatments such as highlights and color. On the other side, male clients settle into black-leather barber chairs to receive short cuts and straight-razor shaves. With their forces combined, the staff can cut almost any texture of hair, creating looks from scissor cuts to mohawk fades at 32 different styling stations. No appointments are necessary for any of Su's services, which also include spa treatments such as eyelash extensions and facials.

Obamacare dares states not to expand Medicaid
Local lawmakers have the right to refuse -- but businesses, poor residents and political careers may suffer as a result.
States and their lawmakers have the absolute right to reject the new health care law's expansion of Medicaid benefits and sniff at it derisively as "Obamacare."
However, they should also be aware that it will burden state businesses with Internal Revenue Service penalties and deny coverage to low-income citizens while legal immigrants get aid for their own coverage.
So far, 20 states, plus the District of Columbia, have accepted the expansion. Thirteen GOP-led states have declined, citing current Medicaid expenses and distrust of Washington. An additional 17 states are still weighing options and considering how more aid to low-income adults with no children at home will affect them.
In Arkansas, the Republican-controlled legislature and Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe just struck a compromise in which the state will accept additional Medicaid money under the federal law but will use it to buy private insurance for eligible residents. The Obama administration hasn't weighed in on the move yet, but it's been deemed necessary if the state wants to avoid tax penalties for businesses and other politically uncomfortable scenarios.
Roughly half the nearly 30 million uninsured people who will get coverage as a part of President Obama's health care overhaul will do so through Medicaid, which has an income cutoff of roughly $15,860 per person. Middle-class Americans who don't have coverage at their jobs will be able to purchase private insurance in new state markets, helped by new federal tax credits.
However, states that don't expand Medicaid are putting their employers with 50 or more workers in a tough position. Those businesses face penalties if any of their employees have to get subsidized insurance through those new state markets, but not if those same workers are on Medicaid. Without the expanded Medicaid option, tax firm Jackson Hewitt says employers could be on the hook for more than $1 billion a year in penalties.
There's also the not-so-slight detail that U.S. citizens with incomes below the poverty level -- $11,490 for an individual, $23,550 for a family of four -- can get coverage only through the Medicaid expansion. Legal immigrants who are also below the poverty level, however, are eligible for subsidized private insurance.
That's a potential mess in waiting for lawmakers in immigrant-rich states like Texas and Florida, where declining Medicaid expansion could be construed as favoring immigrants over lifelong residents. That possibility has prompted outspoken Obama administration critic and Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to propose that her state expand its Medicaid offerings.
Can't voters and citizens demand our Senators and Representatives health care benefits (and they have incredible plans for themselves and their families) be STOPPED completely UNTIL the mess has been cleaned up for everyone else. Seems they should be the ones to suffer before their constituants. Something stinks about that.
Well, this is just another socialist agenda media article. This healthcare reform bill is just a mess that in my option is going to unravel starting in Oct. For the business in the States that don't participate in expanded Medicaid, how can the Federal Government tax for services that are not an option? How can I be penalized for something I can't get? This is a BAD BILL that was not thought through very well. If Obama wants to tear this country apart, he is doing it at the State level. States have rights under the 10th Amendments and they are starting to openly fight for them. This is only going to get worse. I would guess that once the Federal government tries to tax businesses in States that don't play along with expanded Medicaid, the lawsuits will start. I wouldn't be surprised if the States helped and supported the Lawsuits. There are so many holes in this bill that it couldn't hold potato chips.
How come legal immigrants get better insurance than me? I'm a natural born citizen trying to make my ends meet, I was injured and my insurance company has pushed me onto a S/S disability and get just enough to make my bills this suck ovomits sh it care and his policies cater to the immigrant askhole and why does our elected officials get to stay on their Cadilac policies and not oblamu care?
If you think about it, states could use this as way to lure businesses and boost their economy. What a great sales pitch to bring in businesses and encourage entreprenuership! "Bring your business to XYZ state, where you don't have to worry about Obamacare and all the BS that goes along with it."
The penalties only apply if the person buys insurance through an exchange established by a state. If the state isn't expanding Medicaid it likely isn't establishing an exchange, so the feds will set one up in that state. Since the federal exchange is not an exchange established by a state the employer penalties do not apply.
That is the way the law is written, some bureaucrats tried to write the rules differently, but have been sued by several states, so the Supreme Court will likely decide the issue.
The feds also do not have the authority to spend money to establish exchanges in states that decline to establish them, so those states may not have exchanges running in January. If they try to spend money without authorization they will be sued and injunctions will be issued.

On Judging Expensive Products and People Who Buy Them
Over the past few months we've read a number of comments across blogs eviscerating products (and the people who own them) that are expensive or newly purchased on the grounds that 'true' green living means being, essentially, frugal. Even if the products in question have definable green qualities or aesthetic value (i.e. sustainably manufactured, locally produced, durable or iconic, etc), these comments communicate a No-Exceptions policy: don't spend money, buy only secondhand, and don't buy it if you can DIY it. But this dogmatic view is at odds with the following fact: most products, practices, and designs that are shaping our world and changing it for the better cost money. So how can we demand better products if we're not willing to pay for them?
The confusing part about this line of thinking is that we'd venture to guess the same people who appear outraged at the price of a handmade textile or handcrafted piece of furniture, and who express distaste at the presence of a newly-purchased Knoll chair would also likely state that they support local artisans and believe in the importance of knowing where their stuff comes from, that they in fact believe it's very important for large, industry-standard-setting companies to implement strict environmental standards for their products and actively work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other waste, source their materials from sustainable or renewable resources, and eliminate the use of hazardous substances in their products. (All things Knoll states they're working on as laid out in their aggressive 8-point environmental strategy.)
So why is there a barbed undercurrent to these comments? Why is there such a backlash against any display of consumption?
Don't get us wrong: we support buying less. We support buying secondhand. We support DIY'ing. (In fact, we love nothing better than a great DIY.) But we believe this NOT because we're against consuming. Rather, we believe first and foremost that one should purchase things carefully, thoughtfully, and with an eye for what will make your home a healthier and more beautiful place. We believe in good design, and we believe in supporting the future of good, green design. And we know that doesn't come cheap.
Here's some food for thought, as written by William McDonough in Cradle to Cradle:
We are accustomed to thinking of industry and the environment as being at odds with each other, because conventional methods of extraction, manufacture, and disposal are destructive to the natural world... the environmental message that "consumers" take from all this can be strident and depressing: Stop being so bad, so materialistic, so greedy. Do whatever you can, no matter how inconvenient, to limit your "consumption." Buy less, spend less, drive less, have fewer children—or none. Aren't the major environmental problems today—global warming, deforestation, pollution, waste—products of your decadent Western way of life? If you are going to help save the planet, you will have to make some sacrifices, share some resources, perhaps even go without. And fairly soon you must face a world of limits. There is only so much the Earth can take.
Sound like fun? We have worked with both nature and commerce, and we don't think so...
We see a world of abundance, not limits. In the midst of a great deal of talk about reducing the human ecological footprint, we offer a different vision. What if humans designed products and systems that celebrate and abundance of human creativity, culture, and productivity? That are so intelligent and safe, our species leaves an ecological footprint to delight in, not lament?
Feel free to tell us where you stand on this.

Thank you!!!! I couldn't agree with you more!!!!
Just a note that the picture is about Buy Nothing Day, which is specifically aimed at countering Black Friday. I think most simple living advocates want people to realize that consumption does not produce happiness and to consume less overall, not avoid consumption altogether.
I think the reasonable position is, as you state, responsible, thoughtful consumption. And civil commenting :)
AeonElpis, yes, you are correct, and I appreciate you pointing out the distinction. Perhaps the picture isn't the best example for the article. I will look for an alternate to avoid confusion.
Haters gonna hate! The rest of us will enjoy a splurge now and then.
Everything in moderation. Our communities and environments will benefit if we can try to live by that credo. An expensive purchase that benefits a worthwhile company or guarantees that you and your children will have a quality product to use for years to come is nothing to sniff about. Finding homes for your old items and attempting to breathe new life into other people's old items so that you can cherish them are two ways that you can keep things out of the landfill and avoid overconsumption.
It seems to me that there are a few problems here. One thing I find quite striking is the way these (expensive) new products participate in capitalism, particularly by manufacturing new desire, and by adding to cycles of obsolescence. When these great, new products are consumed (no matter how sustainable), they encourage more consumption. They produce desire amongst other consumers to get the hot new thing, to be as hip as possible. Ultimately, doing so diminishes the value of the object and opens the market for new, even better, even more sustainable things (and you'll have to get rid of your CFL bulbs to make room for the next generation of LED lights, etc).
I think it's great to spend a lot of money on a real good product that will last a very long time, but I'm skeptical about how long most new products will last, and also skeptical that the longevity of a product is the primary motivator for a purchase. Maybe it is. That would be awesome.
An article like this certainly congratulates the people who have the means to buy more things (and yes, it's great to make informed, conscious choices about one's consumption), but it does little alter the underlying structure of overconsumption. Or recognize the class issues that might be at the heart of the disagreement.
But then, somebody should support the great companies making sustainable products. I won't be able to afford the fabulous new things until after wealthy people buy them and then get rid of them when they move on to the next hip thing.
I want to congratulate those people that have worked hard to afford things of very high quality and price I am not so wealthy to do this all the time however I go without until I can get exactly what I want... It drives me crazy when people accuse the wealthy of over-consumption, Just enter a wallmart and you can see the demographic that is guilty of overspending on junk items and food ;)
There was also quite the uproar about mr Cruises house and how such a large and expensive home could possibly be sustainable, I'd bet money his house generates more clean energy than yours. And can you imagine being one of the lucky contractors gaining experience in how to build a structure conscious of energy use and sustainable practices no matter what the size is its a step in the right direction. you can look at his place as a generator of clean energy or a mansion for a lucky SOB.
In my opinion what makes a quality product is a quality product is generational until its biodegradable or recyclable
Speaking for myself - and only myself - I find that the products that I spend money on to get the quality and design that I want (whether it's furniture, clothing, or cookware), I tend to keep for a very long time - whereas the cheaper products that are poor quality or that I don't really like (or both), tend to end up at the Goodwill in a relatively short amount of time. Therefore, I think it's greener to spend the money when appropriate.
Of course, we could all get by with many fewer things in our lives and that would be more environmentally sound - but it has to be balanced against quality of life.
I totally support this post.
It seems to me that there's this very contradictory relationship when it comes to design (and just about everything else I can think of.) On one hand, many of us wish to purchase good-quality furniture that is a) beautiful and b) will endure, yet we're also pushed to keep consuming and pursuing "the best" and most current items available. Really I think there needs to be a new term developed to separate "mindful" consumerism from "mindless" consumerism; there's a huge difference, at least from my perspective, between accumulating things of value and substance (art), whether that takes the form of a $10, 000 sofa or a $20 vintage dresser, and accumulating things just to accumulate things. If we continue to measure our success by how much stuff we own vs. how much we love, use and need the stuff we own (and how well we take care of it), then a turn toward an eco-friendly, sustainable world will always be rendered impossible.
I've never had a whole lot of money, but I've always tried to buy good quality things. What's irritating to me is hearing "Wow, that's too expensive" or "I would never spend that much money" on items of importance by people who actually make good money and can afford it.
"Or recognize the class issues that might be at the heart of the disagreement."
Bingo. There is currently a huge bifurcation in life styles and personal finances which has many people lashing out.
recessionistas: my wife and i scour flea markets and estate sales for lots of great finds, offer many up for sale on her etsy site... and from the proceeds have been able to fund a few of these "outrageously expensive symbols of consumerism" (some second-hand)... so, i thank you for your own -- albeit ironic -- consumeristic tendencies to buy vintage and secondhand... and your willingness to pay to ship that widget 3K miles.
however, it's worth noting that i plan on owning my (__ herman miller/knoll this-that__) a lot longer than you'll be owning your dumpster find that you spent lots of time, excess materials and toxic chemicals to refinish... and after all of that, you still have a milk-painted, yellow-pine this-end-up dresser with limited second-hand re-sale value whereas my (___) will last about 38-minutes on craigslist before it goes to the next happy home.
as a product designer I would like to add that many of those "expensive" items are made in America (Knoll/Herman Miller), the designers, factory workers, and other employees work in good conditions and have health benefits--which add to the overall cost of the item. I think the average consumer has no idea what the cost is to bring something to market. Then if you add the low production run - it makes it that much more.
Thank you for presenting this topic, I constantly struggle with this one on a pretty regular basis. The fact of the matter is, industry will never be "100% green", simple as that. As a consumerist society, we strive to obtain things; we know what we want and we tend to get them in way or another. That being said, the "green" aspect of our world is unfortunately dramatically skewed, and most of the things we do want, even if they are "green", have received that title based on some element between its initial fruition, and it arriving in your home, that has been deemed to have less of an impact on the world than prior practices. So yes, being conscious of products that follow and are defined by environmentally friendly processes are great, being efficient in the way we go about our daily lives is even more important, its the little things that count.Even so, the bottom line: consumerism literally cannot equal 100% "green-ness".
The second part of this topic I relate to very personally. As a product designer myself, knowing where things came from, and the history behind a given work, makes something so much more valuable and meaningful, creating separation from just a run-of-the-mill product. Take Eames for example, their work has been defined as some of the most important product design EVER, but why? How many owners actually know the answer to that simple question? So many people own these pieces, many of which are based on trends; maybe what they saw it in Dwell mag., or maybe they just had some extra dough to spend. Either way, the piece completely looses its intrinsic value and its legacy, as people start to appreciate it less and less for what it has done for the design world as a whole. This is an enormous shame, because so few products arrive at your home bearing such an interesting story to begin with. This same concept crosses over to owning art, architecture, etc...everything has a story, don't be afraid to learn it!
All in all, if you must buy, be conscious of what is and isn't "green", but know that nothing comes without some sort environmental toll. And in terms of aspiring to obtaining higher end, "designer" things, learn about them...have a reason beyond the aesthetics to want them, sometimes setting such things on a mental pedestal adds more appreciation than one may expect.
Some very good points made here - I'm so glad to see the thoughfulness put into all these thoughts, many of which I wholeheartedly agree with.
I must say that it's an amazement for me to see the posts from folks who declare "That's too expensive" and "That's not Eco/Green" - then turn around and have no problem with future-toxic-landfill imported from China made by near-slave labor.
I think it would be great for someone (within the AT Community perhaps?) to actually do some investigative reporting and comparisons of like-items from different sources: Pottery Barn vs. IKEA, Mitchell Gold vs. Gus Furniture, Herman Miller vs. Chinese Knockoff - Not just comparing the basic quality but about the manufacturing and shipping processes that lead to the item arriving on the store shelf.
I think that it could be quite educational for many folks and a worthy addition to the overall discussion of enlightened homemaking.
I am all about buying wisely, keeping things away from landfills, DIY, etc., but these days, in NYC especially, thrifting comes at a price. You can't pick up second hand, without fearing for bedbugs. I will be selling/giving away a bunch of stuff through CL when I move out of my apt in the next few months, but will probably be buying new, wonderfully designed (albeit pricey) stuff I'll plan to keep for at least the next 10 yrs. I don't want to deal with the risk of a bedbug invasion!
Great post. I own two Eames/Herman Miller pieces - a vintage rocker that my grandmother bought in the 50s and gave to me, and a new lounge chair.
While I realize that these chairs are emblems of conspicuous consumption, I maintain a pretty low footprint in other areas of my life (no car, local food, etc.), and I have these pieces because I love them - not only for their comfort and quality, but their artistic value (I have an art history background and work for an art museum).
And I think durability is a really important point - according to my grandmother my rocker, which is almost 60 years old, looks and feels almost as good as the day she bought it. Three generations of my family have used the crap out of that chair and it's still in great shape. I have no doubt that I will be able to pass both pieces onto my grandchildren as well. And that's so much greener than IKEA :)
Appreciate this post and comments. I second bepsf's interest in some investigative journalism on behalf of consumers who lack the time or ability to research the true costs of seemingly comparable products. I often wonder whether inexpensive versions of things equal value (e.g. b/c I'm not paying for advertising/overhead) or instead represent some kind of hidden abuses...and conversely whether expensive things may reflect thoughtful manufacturing processes, or just extra markup that marquee/trendy brands get away with just because they can. I usually assume the worst in both cases. Would that I were a carpenter!
One thing these design sites may do is instill a sense of urgency regarding the things we DO purchase. My preference may be to wait and save for something of quality and longevity, but in the mean time I need somewhere to store my socks. Trying to avoid stopgap solutions is my personal struggle.
I third bepsf's comment that I would love, LOVE, to see some investigative reporting on the actual "value" vs. "cost" of some of the most commonly coveted brands/stores/designers on Apartment Therapy. It would be very helpful to hear about things that may be better/more sustainably and fairly made than we might think vs. companies/products that pay a little lip service to doing things "green" or "fair trade" but really don't.
I do think a lot about what processes and abuses must have gone on to bring me the cheap products I can easily afford. This is a little off-topic, but it's easier for me to get my head around and impress upon others with the example of food.
The question: Do you really want a $1.00 hamburger? Imagining what corners must have been cut to sell you a hamburger for a dollar absolutely blows my mind. I mean, working backwards, you take out the cost of the restaurant that sold it to you - the facility, the power to keep it running, the employees, even at minimum wage; then the shipping it to you from wherever the beef was "grown" - both the fuel, and the salaries of the drivers/workers; then the cost of operating the slaughterhouse; then the cost of raising one cow, keeping it alive long enough to become your hamburger, feeding it... Yes, I realize that there's a vast "economy of scale" going on, but still, how can all of those costs be funded (and turn profit) from $1.00? Do we really want our food to be so CHEAP?
Oh snap, @sfposter and yay, @ht. I agree with them because I know that we -- not necess arily everyone, but I know my husband and I -- will be much more attached to a carefully considered, somewhat expensive piece than to pieces that come cheap, plenty, discarded and often ugly (even if it's only ugly just before it's refinished). It's the crappy stuff or short-term fixes that I am tempted to ditch as soon as I find something better. But if you buy something wonderful in the first place, you'll always have it. I believe it's the cycle of not waiting for things, having to have it NOW, then buying something not ideal because you can afford it, that is destructive.
That's why I don't falter at buying new. It's not MY fault other people are going through lots of furniture. I won't bat an eye at buying new furniture for myself....but I won't buy three or four sets of furniture during my lifetime, either. If the house we buy doesn't have great wood floors, I will install them -- yes, killing trees -- but that means we won't ever have to replace them.
We're barely making ends meet, but if we buy something, it's good. We earn very little but, to tell you my favorite example, we have a very expensive all-natural latex and wool bed with a handmade solid-wood frame. We saved up for it and are happy with our purchase because I researched the company to death so I was satisfied with their supply chain, the treatment of their animals and their employees, etc. This "budgeting" means that we don't have a headboard, and our bedroom furniture is what was in my room as a little girl (and you can tell). We'll wait until we can afford something nice. And when we do, it'll be exactly what we want, and we'll be sure of the company's ethics.
in this age of consumerism, it pays to be an enlightened consumer, which is not an easy task. it means knowing many things: where & how an item is made; your own desires & economic limits; how to budget & shop wisely; how to judge quality; etc. i honestly don't know why consumerism isn't taught in schools (enlightened consumerism 101!) as it's a basic knowledge that one needs to know to be successful (& happy). also, i have noticed an increase in hateful comments on AT aimed at people who buy luxury items & have homes to match. no doubt such comments are due in part to the economy & people feeling the pinch; however, i think a great deal of it is due to people's limited knowledge of consumerism.
I think the recent West Elm vs. Room and Board bed post was pretty illuminating at least in terms of that particular product. And there are hidden costs, such as R&B's customer service. There were multiple posters writing about how they noticed/caused some minor/major flaw in their R&B product and R&B promptly sent out people to fix things/sent out a replacement. That sort of thing must be a major factor in their "exorbitant" prices. You can say that it's not fair because you take care of your things and you shouldn't have to pay for other people's carelessness, but we all subsidize some things.
My "biggest indulgence" is a $650 rug. No one "needs" a $650 rug, but I love it. I am also aware that the wholesale price is about $325 or so. Looking at it, I can imagine how much work it took, even if much of it is mechanized, and since I believe the people that make the things I buy should be able to maintain a certain standard of living, and I know these people happen to live in the US, I think the wholesale price seems very fair, even surprisingly low. The 100% markup is a bit harder to swallow. However, I bought the rug from a brick-and-mortar store (not that it would have been cheaper anywhere I saw it online) and certainly they have employees, rent, etc to pay. Maintaining showrooms is pretty expensive, and truthfully if I had not initially seen this rug there in person, and more importantly walked on it, I would never have bought it. So I have to acknowledge the go-between's importance. And I guess that means occasionally I will suck it up and deal with 100% markups. But... not that often.
(And then I learned that my 5'x7' rug can be considered pretty cheap, compared to hand-woven wool from tibet or whatever. Yeesh.)
I would like to see posts that track the costs that go into various products! Was it the pottery barn rug-production video that got linked? They also had other interesting videos, like the ones that compared the construction of their couch vs. a generic knockoff (or if not a knockoff, just one that looks similar). It would also be interesting to get an estimate of how much cheaper something might be if demand were much greater and economies of scale were working for the product....
These are all new concepts to me, but I love the idea of celebrating the freedom of a creative spirit and valuing what is truly valuable, rather than decrying all possessions. Few of us are buddhist monks, but learning to choose between what society wants us to believe we need and what we really need is all the difference between empty consumerism and loving ourselves...and our homes.

NORTH KINGSTOWN - The Village Faire, which opened last Tuesday in Wickford, is more than just a business. ItŌĆÖs a community center.
The store is a collaborative effort between the artists at The Mill at Shady Lea in North Kingstown and three other artisans from around the state. All told, ten different craftspeople came together to create the waterfront store behind the Beach Rose Caf├®.
ŌĆ£It feels like a full unified eclectic collection,ŌĆØ said Amos Paine, one of the artists from Shady Lea.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö Having started as a small company in Coventry, Proscape Landscaping is climbing the ladder, having made the Inc. MagazineŌĆÖs Top 5,000 list.
John Pontarelli, President and founder of Proscape, explained that landscaping has been in his family for many years.
He said he started in the landscaping business in 1988 and opened Proscape in Coventry in 1995.
The company has now been relocated to East Greenwich but provides services to cities and towns throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
NORTH KINGSTOWN - If youŌĆÖre driving south on Post Road near the Camp Avenue intersection, you may want to plan some extra time into your drive.
Signs have already been posted warning motorists of the impending delays that will accompany the construction of new sewer lines on part of Post Road and Camp Avenue.
According to information on the townŌĆÖs website, work will begin on Monday.

NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō With the passage of Helen J. Beaven, 95, on July 14, the town lost another of its treasures ŌĆō a woman who generously shared her time, talent and wisdom and was of the generation of women who jumped in to fill whatever need arose.
With Rita Perry, her best friend of 70 years, Helen started the first Girl Scout troop in North Kingstown, in the North End, and guided assorted PTAs for years.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö Every two weeks throughout the calendar year, Town Council president Michael Isaacs would always see his comrade, Henry V. Boezi, to his left while conducting normal business within a particular Town Council meeting.
On Monday, Isaacs looked to his left, but unfortunately saw an empty seat and had he, along with the other members of the East Greenwich Town Council ŌĆō and the Town, itself, for that matter ŌĆō had just as empty of a feeling within.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö After the cast and crew completed one of the first takes of the new film, ŌĆ£Self Storage,ŌĆØ actor Michael Berryman walked over to young local actor ŌĆō and director of the project ŌĆō Tom DeNucci and asked to see the playback of the finished scene.
DeNucci, who is making his directorial debut along with starring in the story, felt at that point that the test was on once a Hollywood veteran of the horror genre made the request to view the work.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö The Rev. Elmer West, along with seven men, put together a new Boy Scout troop that would meet at his congregation, First Baptist Church, in the hopes that the young boys would become leaders within their community back in 1922.
Little did Rev. West realize how much his troop would thrive in the following decades and better communities not only within East Greenwich, but around the world.
SMITHFIELD ŌĆö Almost a quarter century ago, the first premise of the Youth-to-Youth Conference was to deter high-school kids from getting involved with drugs and alcohol and running into problems in conjunction with the two.
Now, even with some former participants coming back to help volunteer and guide the current youth, they are even amazed as to how much the event has expanded and shines more light on other issues.
Rhode Island State Police Superintendent Col. Steven G. OŌĆÖDonnell has announced the arrest of a North Kingstown woman on three counts of larceny of $500 and two counts of uttering forged documents after she allegedly stole from the personal and business accounts of the late former governor Bruce Sundlun and his wife, Susan G. ŌĆ£SoozieŌĆØ Sundlun.
On July 19, members of the Financial Crimes Unit arrested Teresa A. Roby, 37, of 775 Old Baptist Road, NK after an investigation stemming from a complaint filed by Mrs. Sundlun, owner of East Greenwich Photo.

Alternatives to the Nest: 4 Budget Programmable Thermostats
The Nest Thermostat won over legions of users with its Apple-like industrial design, Web 2.0 design user interface, online access features, and a multitude options previously unseen from a thermostat. Unfortunately, the $250 price tag is still high enough to warrant pause. But perhaps because of the heat Nest turned up on the competition, there are now many more options for a web accessible thermostats available to choose from...
3M Filrete Wi-Fi Remote Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat
3M's programmable thermostat can be controlled from your computer or smartphone with an included Wi-Fi module. The system's filter indicator helps remind users to change the filter, which is often the most forgotten system maintenance task.
Although not quite as design sexy as the Nest, the Honeywell does offers 7 day programming, intelligent alerts, energy savings scheduling, and free smart phone apps compatible with iPhone, iPad and Android devices at less than half the price of a Nest. Reviews online rave about the features, but some note installation may require the aid of an electrician or HVAC installer.
Homewerks Radio Thermostat CT-30-H-K2 Wi-Fi Thermostat
The Radio Thermostat CT-30-H-K2 offers touchscreen controls, 7 day programming, 4 independent periods, and control for 2 stages of heat and cool. Free web and mobile applications let you control your home from anywhere with an internet connection. Best of all, it's under a hundred bucks!
The prices just keep getting better and better, although to be fair, the products design and features do begin to reflect the cost. But if it's functionality you're after, the CyberStat thermostat offers many of the same features as the models above for around $75 with a glowing 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon.

I had the Honeywell in my last house. The features were great, even if, as noted, it isn't as sexy as the nest.
I had the Honeywell in my last house. The features were great, even if, as noted, it isn't as sexy as the nest.
We have the honeywell thermostat and it's great. I love the look and features of the Nest, and if we had just needed one, it would have been worth the splurge. But we have three heating zones plus a separate a/c zone (don't ask...old house...piecemeal upgrades over the years). So, we were looking at spending around 1000, not just 250. That was too much for me (actually, too much for me to convince my husband ;-)
Recently got the 3rd one (Homeworks) and is not functioning as it should for me and on top of that is not user friendly. I will be replacing it asap. Probably with the Honeywell.
we had a new AC installed last year and already had to call for service 3 times.
All this computer(*&*( error messages and circuit boards.
Give me a simple one again.
I had the Honeywell Prestige HD installed in our old house. It wasn't internet connected but the color touchscreen dispaly was fairly easy to use. However, with that said, all of the thermostats mentioned above MISSES the point of the Nest thermostat. That is, with the Nest, you don't have to program the thermostat. The Nest is suppose to learn your HVAC habits within a couple of weeks and you leave it to do its artificial intelligence when it comes to controlling your the temp in your house. The above thermostats also do not have motion sensors that detect presence in the house. So you do get what you pay for when comparing those inexpensive thermostats to Nest.
I have never had luck with these working. Compounded with their hideousness I'm sticking with manual. If I have one more lit up gadget around I will scream. Remember when everything didn't have little glowing lights on it?
I live in Canada. My landlord installed programmable thermostats in all 15 apartments a few years ago and they can't be turned off completely during the warmer months-May to October. Their maximum low point is 5 degrees Celcius. Last year, I turned the breakers off and saved 30$ on my electricity bill. Last winter, I set all thermostats at a fixed comfortable point, using the manual function and saved a few more dollars.

I have recently been changing my mind. I still like to see projects finished, but I have tried hand piecing and hand quilting. I started small. I found that hand applique is too slow of a process for me. Hand piecing surprised me. I enjoyed being able to work on it while waiting for kids in various places.
If you haven't tried hand work, this might be a project to change your mind.
1 Hope Chest Prints Honeycomb
3/4 yard backing
3/4 yard square batting
1/2 yard binding
1. Take 28 of the hexagons, 14 light and 14 dark. Each hexi star takes 2 light hexagons and 2 dark hexagons.
2. Cut each hexagon into three diamonds as shown. Using a ruler from corner to corner, cut half way.
5. Lightly mark the 1/4" seam allowance on one of each dark diamond in a narrow V as shown. Lightly mark the 1/4" seam allowance on all 6 of the light diamonds in a wide V as shown.
7. Align two adjacent diamonds. Sew with a running stitch along marked line.
8. Tie off the thread at the corner and align the next diamond. Continue sewing down the next side. Tie off and cut thread. Finger press.
9. Repeat with the other three dark diamonds to make two half stars as shown.
10. Mark the 1/4" seam allowance along one side as shown.
11. Pin the two halves together and sew along the marked line.
12. Press seams in a circle and press seams open in the middle rotating in the opposite direction.
13. Take one of the light diamonds. Align and pin it onto one dark diamond as shown. Sew along the marked seam allowance. Knot thread, but do not cut.
14. Align the light diamond to the next dark diamond. Pin and sew the next marked seam allowance. Knot thread again, but do not cut unless you need to.
15. Repeat with the next light diamond.
16. Continue sewing the light diamonds around the dark star. That makes one Hexi Star.
17. Repeat to make six Hexi Stars with a dark center and light edges. Make one Hexi Star with a light center and dark edges.

Ralph Fiennes stars in and makes his directorial debut with this tale from The Bard about a war hero betrayed by his country who goes into exile and and rallies an army to seek vengeance on his former homeland. Co-starring Gerard Butler, Jessica Chastain, Brian Cox and Vanessa Redgrave, the film opens Dec. 2.
Three Mossad agents are sent to hunt down a notorious Nazi war criminal. 30 years later, a dark secret from their mission threatens to come to light and they must reunite to put an end to things once and for all. After languishing in limbo for more than a year, the film, starring Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain, Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson, will open Aug. 31.

'Mad Money Lightning Round': Go for Spectrum Pharmaceuticals
To see the full "Mad Money" Recap, please
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Wednesday evening.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE): "Sell, sell, sell. That is so yesterday. I really prefer you're not in that stock."
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI): "I think that's OK to speculate on. I'll bless it."Hormel Foods (HRL): "Good yield, well run company. Tremendous value for shareholders." Electronic Arts (EA): "I like Zynga (ZNGA). I've been dead wrong about EA in the past, though." Mosaic (MOS): "I like Potash (POT) best, then Mosaic and then Deere & Company (DE)." Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA): "No, no. They just can't put it together. I don't want to touch Teva. It's not been a good stock." Esterline Technologies (ESL): "If you want aerospace, you want Boeing (BA). Boeing has been lagging." Jacobs Engineering (JEC): "It's not bad. I prefer Fluor (FLR). Let's wait a few days before we pull the trigger." --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C. To contact the writer of this article, click here: Scott Rutt.

10 Fireplace Surrounds with Beautiful Wooden Wall Panels
The temps have been seriously dropping around here, and we've got fireplaces on the brain. One trend we've noticing is wood not only inside the fireplace, but on the outside, too. From slick matchbooked panels to reclaimed boards, wood fireplace surrounds are something we're really warming up to.
One note of caution: allowed fireplace combustible clearances vary, so be sure to check with your local codes and fireplace manufacturer to stay safe.

Really like the second one! We don't have a fireplace is this house. I'd love a gas fireplace . . . after all, Michigan is cold in the winter!
Ohhh! I want to do this!!
Wow, WHAT a great and varied collection! Much appreciated.
BTW, at Home Depot the other day I saw that the Allure line of flooring has come out with two that look very convincingly like rough-hewn ... old barn wood, I guess would be the best description. One is brown, the other a weathered gray. Of course real wood is preferable, but for something fast and MUCH easier than cleaning, sawing, etc, one could check these out.
I like the look in an appropriate context. However, I've seen weathered boards used to panel the formal entrance of a 1930s centre hall plan house, and while I'm sure the intent was to be witty and avant garde, it just looked awkward.
These examples all look great though.
Reminds me of this gal http://brooklyntowest.blogspot.com/
Love the look. Thanks for rounding up this collection.

Lawyers for Gov. Jan Brewer are urging a judge to reject a request to block Arizona from enforcing the governor's order that denies driver's licenses for young immigrants who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under a new Obama administration policy.
A lawsuit by immigrant rights advocates asks a judge to declare Brewer's policy unconstitutional on the grounds it's trumped by federal law and alleges the policy makes it difficult or impossible for such young immigrants to go to school, grocery stores and hold down a job.
Brewer's lawyers say the Obama administration policy doesn't have the same trumping effect of federal law and that those pushing the lawsuit didn't support their allegation that they can't attend to their daily needs without a license.

Comments about Power Station Traveller:
I'm one of those who constantly forgets to charge their phone and Palm. This is terrific for getting the spark back into my business and personal life on the road or in a hotel room. Make sure to get the adapter though because you'll need it in a hotel room. Just plug it in and you have a mini-docking station for all your electronic needs. As an added plus, you don't have to hunt down that phone just as it rings because it's right where it should be, in a tidy console.

This is a great organizer, I bought it for my husband because he is in sales and always driving. It protects his sattelite radio unit from sun/heat damage and charges his Palm Trio as well. I also bought the adapter to plug in while he is in hotels so he can charge two phones plus his ipod.

@FederalGovernment is Not Following You on Twitter
People who live within the confines of an oppressive government system tend to grow angry. This is not a new concept, but online tools are proving that it is now one that cannot be silenced. Social media has proven to be a powerful method of communication. We can now feel personally connected to a struggle that may have otherwise felt distant and alien. The uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East provoked messages from people on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Because of these online tools... Continue Reading

Pottermore early access FTW
expecting people to understand you and your opinions is way too much expectation - it's not worth getting upset about when they don't as long as you're doing your best.
when the trees shake in the wind in front of the moon, it looks as though the moon is sparkling :p
Hello to anyone somehow reading my rant.
Most people with any interest in politics will at some stage get hugely frustrated at the bias and outright lying of the printed media in our country.
I am now at a stage where I do not understand why smart media use most media at all.
Take BBC News, the standard televised news show in the UK. Not only does it take 1/2 an hour to tell you what you could have easily found out in five minutes online - it makes it immensely dull despite the resources available in the 21st century, and simplifies everything to the extent that they must assume you are a moron.
The written press isn't much better. Overlooking the bias inherent throughout, it has gotten to the stage when you already know what the headlines will most likely be the night before publishing. Any informative value is therefore non-existent. As for the reviews and opinions, the level of intellect on which the issues are discussed is mind-numbing unless your understanding of the issue is very limited. As far as I'm concerned it is a huge waste of time.
The US Independent commentator Dan Carlin made the excellent point that a live feed at all times would make for some of the most compelling TV imaginable - live coverage of iraq, or afghanistan, or syria or lebanon. The only times I am glued to the news is when this is the case and BBC24 allows you to really see what's going on. Why when the resources are so available do news channels not insist on doing anything worthwhile such as this?
Beyond a select group of publishings and google, the press seems pretty dire to me, and I find it sad that so many people seem to waste their time compulsively viewing it.
IMG_0003 (by Flo Morrissey)
i don't feel under pressure doing something that i love when a lot depends on it - really going for something genuine is amazing.
sadly this is in stark contrast to sitting an exam which doesn't award you marks based on intelligence, philosophy, or theology. having to do something false and artificial which doesn't reward you for doing what would be something genuinely excellent and LOGICALLY WORTHWHILE in order to get somewhere where you have a great chance of really doing genuine things is so weird! and demoralising.
the intense emotive self-expression that you witness, or, when you know the artist well, get to experience and share in at gigs is really telling - when they're good like frank turner's 1000th show you can be forced to act as a barrier and fear for your life but not care because you're having such an amazing time.
in the process of being blown away by sweep of days - blue foundation. please listen to it.

The "International Mobile Equipment Identity" (IMEI) is a number unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone. It is usually found printed on the phone underneath the battery and can also be found by dialing the sequence *#06# into the phone.
The IMEI is frequently used in mobile applications to identify a particular phone for licensing purposes.
The IMEI number is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used to stop a stolen phone from accessing the network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call his or her network provider and instruct them to "ban" the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless, regardless of whether the phone's SIM is changed.
Generally the IMEI number is of 14 to 17 digits.
IMEI format: XXXXXX XX XXXXXX X
- TAC = Type approval code
- FAC = Final assembly code
- SNR = Serial number
- SP = Spare

Much of what the Open Access Week movement supports align with the library's belief in affordable learning for students. During Open Access Week, Kennedy Library's special guests, staff, and students (like me!) want to discuss this open idea with the Cal Poly community.

When Sara and I started White Feather Press, we never envisioned that we would be publishing other authors. It was intended as a vehicle to get my own work out into the public eye. But once White Feather was launched, other authors saw the benefit and asked me to publish their work as well.
When White Feather Press was first started in 2005, we published using the vanity and subsidy business models. We no longer do that. We have become quite successful, and have become a full-fledged traditional publishing company, paying a huge 40% royalty to its authors!
There is so much good writing out there that goes unseen. If you have a story that yearns to be told and to be read by others, send me your manuscript. I would love to consider it for publication.
All the best,
Skip Coryell
President, White Feather Press, LLC
