Valentines Garden Recipes
The Gardenist
Second only to Christmas, Valentines Day is a baking holiday. Who hasn't tried to woo a loved one by trying their hand at making a death by chocolate, truffle, strawberry, raspberry, molten, mocha, heart-shaped, liqueur, cake-tart? (that in my case never really lives up to expectations). So this year, I am trying out a different kind of baking: garden baking.
Not for human consumption but still a fun set of kitchen projects that lets you mix and blend and get your hands dirty, these garden recipes are perfect for a heartfelt DIY valentine.
Heart Shaped Seed Bomb - Find a great selection of Heirloom and Rare seeds at Select Seeds (I am intrigued by the 'new to me' Love-in-a-Puff (Cardiospermum halicacabum) climbing vine plant)
How to make Seed Paper (DIY) -- Which can be manipulated into all kids of valentines stationary.
Seeded Paper Flowers. - I would love a long lasting bouquet of these sweet paper flowers!
Bird Seed Balls - Their is something kinda romantic about giving a gift that will bring sweet birds into someone's life.
Have you kitchen-made a Valentine that wasn't edible? What did you make?

I think it makes me a terrible person that I immediately thought the main image was pot. A garden valentine for your favorite stoner!
I was thinking owl pellet. Nothing says "I love you" like a heart-shaped owl pellet. Though a heart-shaped sticky bud comes close....
I immediately recognized seeds of calendula in those first little hearts. There's a gift that keeps on giving...self-seeders as they are! Nice choice of seeds and a great way to present them.
I gave my mom a clump of Forget-Me-Nots I'd spent a whopping 50 cents on when I was sixteen. For over 40 years she silently cursed me as she pulled out clump after clump after self-seeded nightmare clump from every bed on their property. Of course the blue haze when they were in full bloom was breathtaking and she did admit to loving them. I was only trying to make up for being a brat at that age! I wanted her to think kindly of me. Hah!
What a fun post! Thanks so much for linking to my Seed Paper Tutorial on Gracious Rain. It is a wonderfully fun project and I hope readers will give it a try. :}

text: Colleges across the state can now consider race when going through the application process. A federal appeals court threw out Michigan's voter approved ban on affirmative action. The Michigan Attorney General's office says the court ruling is unfair and they will fight it all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. University of Michigan officials say they have seen a 15 percent drop in African American enrollment since the ban went into effect.

"The reality is that young people today have easier access to marijuana than to alcohol and tobacco. That should be the core of the conversation right now."
Victoria's Secret wanted to meet with me -- I almost fainted at the thought! It was a girl's dream come true. I barely slept and I woke up with the world's largest pimple, probably the biggest one I have ever had. I was told to strip down and stand against this white wall where multiple photos were taken of me while these two ladies went through my portfolio.
Has all this violence gotten our attention yet? Has anyone you know been murdered yet, or murdered someone else? Do we have to know the people involved personally before we decide to rise up as a society and say NO! to the violence that's all around us?
I feared, way back in 2011, that the league's castoffs had figured out what they apparently now have: it doesn't matter if you do anything illegal in the NHL. You'll get a refreshing, short suspension and the other team you just crippled will still be suffering from it when you get back. That hit by Byron on Sedin was a perfect showcase of the problems Brendan Shanahan has created and then left for this league going forward.
Before Bill 4, any research done in a park had to be "necessary for the preservation or maintenance of the recreational values of the park involved." But as we've recently learned, pipeline giant Kinder Morgan has, with a permit from the B.C. government, been conducting research in B.C. parks for their pipeline expansion project since November 2013, four months before Bill 4 was introduced.
We rarely see the design and directing of this calibre, and the performances remind us of the heights to which live theatre may aspire. We are fortunate that this production that has been touring for two years was able to stop in Vancouver.
The most rewarding part of my job is all the great people I get to meet. Wait -- it's the food. And also, all the great people I get to meet. I am so lucky to have developed terrific relationships with the restaurant owners we've filmed with over these last three seasons. These folks have become like an extended family to me.
Everyone has a bar story. You know, the yarn your friends goad you into telling again and again because it never fails to entertain. For me, it's the tale of how I used to stalk former Vancouver Canucks captain Trevor Linden.
"We know that people get addicted to gambling and we don't say there should be no gambling. We know that people get addicted to alcohol and we don't say there should be no alcohol. As long as there is very strict regulation, I don't see why the same argument shouldn't apply to hard drugs."
A massive waste-to-energy garbage incinerator is being proposed for Nanaimo, population 88,000, to burn Metro Vancouver's garbage. It would be located on a site roughly 50 kilometres south of downtown Nanaimo, but prevailing winds would rain toxic material all over a town that breathes air rated by the World Health Organization as among the cleanest on earth.
Small is beautiful. When economist E.F. Schumacher first released his book of the same name in 1973 he had no idea that 40 years later tiny homes would become a massive trend. And while Schumacher was talking about economics and the value of decentralized systems you just need to scan the pages of Tiny House Blog to see that bigger isn't always better.
I grew up in Newton and recently moved to Surrey City Centre from North Delta. My Vancouver friends thought I committed geographic suicide. It's been over six months since I settled in the heart of downtown Surrey and I want everyone to know about my 10 favorite things about my new hood.
Helen is in L.A. having shock treatment (dramatized Hollywood-style), and a year later she's in Vancouver looking for some guy named Percy and it is 1948. Who is she? Who is he? It's never clear and so we don't care. That's a shame because this talented cast work very hard to pull off a technological marvel.
If you enjoy spending an afternoon sipping on the finest loose leaf teas and nibbling on delicious baked delights, you must visit the Vancouver Shangri-La. And now is actually the perfect time to indulge as the award-winning hotel has added an artistic element to their traditional high tea.
Entrepreneurship is about going over, around, under or right through obstacles. It's not for the faint of heart. "It's not just the one who has the most money wins. It's how much are you giving? How much dignity are you giving? How much are you enabling others to gain?"
The 1996 musical by Adam Guettel is based on a true story from 1925. Book writer Tina Landau considers this simple but alarming tale from the points of view of Collins, his family, and his nation. The poetic treatments of hope and disappointment, adventure and its consequences, work well in a beautiful Vancouver production directed by Peter Jorgensen.

Confessions of a fat guy
If the big fixes -- diets, gyms, even surgery -- haven't worked for you, try some of these ideas.
This post comes from Lynn Mucken at MSN Money.
It's expensive being fat. Or, to be more precise, it costs a lot trying not to be fat.
A recent study by the Canadian Obesity Network showed that, over the past year, people who spent money on weight-loss initiatives forked out -- clever, huh? -- an average of $2,666. That figure included a not-surprising $900 on commercial weight-loss programs, $766 on gym memberships and $400 on special diets, and a rather shocking $600 on prescription diet pills.
The study didn't say whether this spending was cost-efficient, but I suspect not. I know about such things: I'm a fat guy -- officially obese. I weighed 242 pounds this morning, and was surprised by that. Usually, after a three-day holiday weekend, I top 245. At 6 feet 2, I am supposed to weigh between 172 and 197, depending on my body type. I haven't visited that neighborhood since 1987.
About a third of U.S. adults are obese, according to the American Medical Association. And lots of them are spending big money trying not to be. Judging from anecdotal evidence, it's not working. Most slim down, chub up, then give up.
Everyone knows the reasons: bad eating habits and too little exercise. Unfortunately, the cure doesn't come in an expensive pill or an overpriced packaged meal. It comes through lifestyle change, which is not so easily digested.
I am a recovering alcohol and drug addict -- 26 years clean and sober. While that requires a laborious and never-ending process, it is easier than losing weight for me. Why? Because you stop using drugs and alcohol entirely, but you can never give up all food. The fridge is always in the next room, always with something in it. Post continues after video.
In Alcoholic Anonymous, someone always finishes your sentences with "yet," as in "I haven't lost my job because of my drinking -- yet." The same applies to me and my weight: My health hasn't suffered -- yet.
Probably because I walk a lot -- I love it -- and eat tons of fruits and plenty of vegetables, I have great blood pressure and very good cholesterol readings. My doctors always give some version of the same speech at my annual checkups: "You're in great shape for a fat guy, but don't let that weight get away from you."
Trust me, I've tried. In the '80s, I went from 260 to as low as 171 by running 30 miles a week. In the '90s, my self-designed nothing-after-8 p.m. diet plunged me from 253 to 214. For the past 15 years, I have wandered around the 240 mark. I say that is my "natural weight" and consider myself svelte if I drop to 237. But I am lying to myself -- and I know it.
In truth, I think about my weight a lot -- especially when I look in the closet or at a mirror. I try to hide behind other people in photographs. I cringe emotionally when people give me that quick body scan when first meeting me. Inside, I hate even my dearest friends for their clever little comments.
Fifty percent of those in the Canadian study said being overweight has impacted their relationships with friends and family. The other 50%, I suspect, are lying.
Here are a few thoughts -- financial and otherwise -- that might help you if you see more than a bit of yourself in the self-portrait I just drew. These will not necessarily make you slim, but they might keep you healthy longer.
- Keep walking. The experts say 20 to 30 minutes a day, three to five times a week. Alternate your routes, having 1-mile, 2-mile or 3-mile loops so you can fit a walk into any day's schedule.
- Establish a routine. First thing in the morning, after lunch, after work; it makes no difference. Just make it a priority and stick to it.
- Enjoy the walk. You won't continue doing something if you dislike it. Look at the birds, the flowers, chat with strangers or even strange neighbors. No death marches.
- Take the stairs. Really. It only hurts a little bit, and then only at first.
- Stay busy. Idle time is the bane of the muncher. If you know you eat less when with others, stay social. If you get up and nibble between innings of a baseball game, tape the game and zip through the commercials.
- Keep the goodies out. If you consider a pint a single serving of ice cream, don't bring it home. You will be surprised to learn you are too lazy to actually drive to the store just to buy Ben & Jerry's.
- Throw stuff away. The company's gone, but the leftovers aren't. You know who's going to eat the half bag of Costco-size potato chips. Toss it.
- No third helpings. Actually, you shouldn't have seconds, but we're trying to be realistic here. No one can rationalize that third dip.
- Be wary of gyms, etc. Not saying they don't work, but most of the people I know who love going to the gym were already what I considered fit. The problem with programs and diets is that they end and you are still who you are.
- Relapsing is only a little mistake. OK, you gorged yesterday at the barbecue. You don't make it better by gorging today. Keep at the little things; they do add up.

I think people forget that Patty Mills is a very talented point guard. During the last Olympics he took on the likes of Chris Paul, Deron Williams and post match they couldnt speak more positively about him. This was also while he was still playing at Saint Mary's and might i add that he was the only collegiate player in the Olympics... Maybe im being a tiny bit biased because i am aussie, but i would love to see him given another shot in a blazers uniform

Just like the Brazilian soccer team, @ReplayLastGoal is leaving the World Cup early.Twitter suspended the account that automatically tweeted out a video and GIF of every World Cup goal, according to a tweet sent by Xavier Damman, who developed the Twitter bot.
.@ReplayLastGoal has just been suspended by @Twitter. That was fun while it lasted. Thank you all for your support and kind words. #fairuse
— Xavier Damman (@xdamman) July 11, 2014
In late June, Damman tweeted that he had received a takedown notice from Twitter, but the bot continued to send out Tweets through the semifinal games earlier this week. FIFA, soccer's governing body, and the TV networks that own the rights to the games have been vigilant about removing unofficial GIFs, videos, and images of the World Cup games.
At Recode, Peter Kafka, who first wrote about @ReplayLastGoal being removed, questioned how Twitter will handle instances like this in the future:
I do wonder how Twitter will approach this stuff for other big global sports events. Right now, the company's approach is to leave anything and everything up until it gets DMCA takedown requests, more or less like YouTube. Unlike YouTube, however, Twitter doesn't seem to have an expedited process available to let copyright holders pull stuff off the site.
In ReplayLastGoal's case, for instance, it seems to have taken Twitter 11 days to take the account offline.
But Twitter is also the same company that's basing much of its sales strategy around the idea that it's working with TV programmers, not against them. One of its highest-profile ad products, for instance, lets programmers take sports highlight reels and turn them into ads minutes after they run on TV. That pitch may be harder to make if those highlights are already up on Twitter.
The business of journalism looks a lot like a game of Risk right now, as media companies are angling for position with new sites and bureaus around the globe. Quartz and The Huffington Post have both recently set up shop in India. BuzzFeed plans to use its new funding to expand its overseas reporting footprint, and this week Politico announced it was partnering with Axel Springer to launch a Europe-focused politics site.
With so much globetrotting it only makes sense that foreign news outlets would turn their eyes to the United States. The BBC set off on one adventure this week with BBC Pop Up, a mobile (in the on-the-move sense, not the iPhone 6 sense) reporting project where journalists will report from a series of U.S. cities over the next six months. Like any good pop up restaurant, the BBC's plans are simultaneously ambitious but also limited: the BBC team will file stories for online, shoot video for broadcast, and work with locals to uncover unreported stories. It'll do all of that in one month before moving on to the next town. The first stop is Boulder, Colo. The Ringling Brothers would be proud.
For an organization as large as the BBC the pop up bureaus are a relatively low risk/high reward proposition. It gets the BBC wider exposure in the United States as something other than the place that broadcasts Gordon Ramsey and Doctor Who, but also serves as a test for whether there is a broader appetite for their reporting in the states.
As far as experiments go, it's still curious why a news organization that already has large bureaus throughout the United States, not to mention various language services around the world, would put on a roadshow. As Matt Danzico, head of the BBC innovation lab explains, the pop up project is about building a bridge to a new type of audience:
In the 21st Century, creating video for television from cities like Washington, New York and/or Los Angeles is definitely an effective way of reaching traditional media consumers in those markets. But if you're also trying to reach younger generations in Colorado, for instance, why not create gripping video from the state that's of interest to a global audience?
And now you've not only provided interesting programming to your traditional audience but you have also sparked the interest of an entirely new community as well.
Do that for one month at a time. Post your videos to local social media. Move cities. Repeat.
Yes, BBC News has 44 foreign bureaus in a heap of cities around the world. But the world has nearly 3,000 cities with a population over 150k. So why not create a mobile bureau that can embed itself in a community and then relocate easily?
Here's a look at what they have in store:
After Apple unveiled its Apple Watch earlier this week most news organizations are still figuring out how — or even if — they'll develop apps for the smart watch. Most outlets haven't received any technical specifications from Apple about the device and are still in the very preliminary stages of thinking about how they'll approach the smart watch, Myles Tanzer reports in BuzzFeed.
There was at least one news app that got an advance look at the Apple Watch: Yahoo News Digest. The app's logo was visible on mock-ups of the watch during Apple's presentation. (It's the purple one with the colorful dots in a circle — above the Pinterest logo — in the watch that's above.)
But during the Tuesday's keynote, close observers noticed multiple quick flashes of the Apple Watch's homescreen that showed icons for two apps from Yahoo, one of which is a version of the popular Yahoo News Digest app. Adam Cahan, Yahoo's senior vice president of mobile and emerging products, confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the company has a working version of a Yahoo News Digest product but was wary to comment on any additional apps from Yahoo — "I wouldn't read into every icon that you see everywhere." He said the Yahoo team was one of a select few chosen to participate in a multi-week test of the Apple Watch's development kit.
The Apple Watch is slated to be released sometime early next year. It seems likely more news apps will be developed for the platform.
The Wall Street Journal wants readers to know that being a subscriber has its perks. The Journal rolled out WSJ+ this week, a complimentary membership program for readers who have subscriptions to the paper.
What, exactly, does being a WSJ+ member get you beyond a sweet membership card to display on your digital device of choice? From the Journal's news release:
WSJ+ members will receive special offers and be welcomed to invitation-only events designed to bring Journal content to life, while providing subscribers elevated Journal experiences specially curated to speak to their wide-ranging and ambitious interests. Events will take place across the country and will include panel discussions with top Journal editors, as well as arts performances and private film screenings.
As a WSJ+ member you could get a talk and tour of the Journal newsroom ("learn how our famous stipples are made," the event advertises) with Editor in Chief Gerald Baker or see a conversation between Whoopi Goldberg and legendary TV producer Norman Lear.
Many of the offers through WSJ+ are either discounts or raffles seemingly attuned to the needs of the aspirational Journal reader. Tell the "Golf Concierge" you'd like a discount to play at course in Hilton Head Island, or win two tickets to the Longines Los Angeles Masters equestrian event.The Journal is one of a growing number of media companies that wants to deepen the relationship with readers through membership programs. Both nonprofit and for-profit companies are trying to find programs to incentivize paid readership while also collecting more detailed data on their audience. One difference is that some loyalty programs, like WSJ+, are complimentary with a subscription. Others, like The Guardian's membership plan and The New York Times' Times Premier, are extra, which means a potential added source of revenue.
The characteristics of the programs usually fall into similar categories: special access to events, discounts, and invitations to look behind the curtain of your beloved news provider. Wine and free books seem to be a love shared by media executives and newspaper readers.
Netflix wants to boost its mobile audience and plans to make shorter, bite-sized videos to do it. According to Janko Roettgers at Gigaom, the streaming media company plans to create 2-5 minute video clips specifically targeted at mobile viewers. The catch is that Netflix won't be producing new content, but slicing up scenes from its catalog of movies, TV shows, and comedy specials. Like many media companies, Netflix is seeing a shift in the consumption patterns and interests of its audience:
It's an interesting move that lines up with interest in things like, say, seconds-long clips of crucial soccer goals. It also mirrors recent short-form video products like NFL Now and 120 Sports.
Davis said Thursday that most Netflix content is still watched on TV screens, but that mobile is seeing the biggest growth, in part because of the way phones have been changing. "As screen sizes are becoming bigger, watching content on phones becomes more natural," he said.
That development prompted Netflix to take mobile more seriously, and while researching the space, Netflix's designers came upon an unexpected challenge: 87 percent of all mobile sessions last less than ten minutes — but Netflix didn't have any content that was less than ten minutes long. That's why the company decided to experiment with shorter-form content.
The L.A. Times made a move toward expanding its video strategy today — but not in digital video. The newspaper announced a broadcast deal with DIRECTV for a series of documentaries to be called Los Angeles Times Originals.
"The Times is renowned for its powerful storytelling in a multitude of forms, including exceptional, award-winning video," said Colin Crawford, Times deputy managing editor, visual journalism. "Los Angeles Times Originals is a vital extension of our journalistic endeavors and we are excited to have our documentaries presented to DIRECTV's subscribers."
With an interest in both short and longform video, the move could be compared to BuzzFeed's recent creation of BuzzFeed Motion Pictures or Vice Media's increasingly aggressive maneuvers in television and film. The L.A. Times is not the first major US newspaper to delve into documentary video production. The New York Times has invested significant resources in its Op-Docs programming, which has aired online and at film festivals.

A 20-year-old man was arrested Friday for setting a vehicle on fire in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Tuscaloosa.
Steven Matthew Lyons has been charged with first-degree criminal mischief, public intoxication, giving false name to law enforcement and obstructing governmental operations. He is currently being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on bonds totaling $17,500 and a hold for sobriety.
Tuscaloosa police responded to a vehicle fire at The Woodlands of Tuscaloosa in the 1100 block of East Hargrove Road at 1:52 a.m. Upon arriving, officers discovered a 2004 black Audi A4 on fire and the windows busted out.
While on the scene, a brush fire was reported near building 100 at the apartment complex. Officers proceeded to the location and began a foot pursuit with Lyons before eventually apprehending the man, taking him into custody while he attempted to climb a fence.
Lyons was questioned by arson investigators before being transported to jail.

Student Employment
On Campus Work Study Program
Many offices and academic departments at UW-Green Bay provide jobs for students. Not all jobs require Federal Work Study, however all hourly positions on campus can utilize a Work Study award. Positions classified as Work Study on-campus are no different from regular on-campus employment positions. The difference lies in how the wages are paid. Wage rates remain constant, regardless of Work Study.
Students seeking a position on campus with their Federal Work Study award should search the position type "On Campus Work Study" AND "On Campus Non-Work Study" in the PRO System. This is because a student with Federal Work Study can have the funds applied to any on-campus hourly position, even if the department did not specify a need for the award.
There are some offices on-campus that require a student with Federal Work Study. These jobs are typically located in student service areas, such as Admissions, Academic Advising, Career Services, Cofrin Library, American Intercultural Center (AIC), and Financial Aid, among others. If a job is listed in PRO as "On Campus Work Study," only apply for the position if you have Federal Work Study as part of your aid award.

These professionals work in a variety of different environments including professional offices, small businesses, government organizations, and large corporations, and may hold many different titles. Entry-level professionals typically work behind the scenes. After gaining experience and expertise, they can advance to more senior-level work.
While there is no universally accepted way to prepare for a job as an information technology specialist, most employers place a premium on some formal college education. A 2-year degree is a prerequisite for some jobs, while a bachelor's degree is required for others. To get into management and advance, many employers require a master's degree.
Information technology workers normally work in well-lit, comfortable offices or computer labs. They usually work about 40 hours a week, but if their employer requires computer support over extended hours, they may be "on call" for rotating evening or weekend work. Overtime may be necessary when unexpected technical problems arise. Those who work as consultants are away from their offices much of the time, sometimes spending months working in a client's office.

A fierce debate has erupted in the utility policy community, with battle lines drawn within FERC itself. In the effort to improve system efficiency, two competing alternatives stand out: to build...
Commission Watch
ago, however, with its 1995 statement of policy on pricing for new and existing interstate pipelines (71 FERC 61,241), FERC has been moving away from the idea of rolled-in pricing for gas pipeline expansions. With its current statement of policy, issued in 1999 (88 FERC 61,227), FERC has come to embrace incremental pricing; the shippers to buy the expanded capacity pay the full cost of the expansion. Older shippers who subscribe to pre-expansion capacity don't have to pay for the new build.
In Alaska, however, we won't see but one pipeline built. And with the likelihood of much future exploration, it is underbuilding, not overbuilding, that may prove to be the real evil.
In fact, in recent years, FERC has OK'd incremental pricing for at least a couple of new pipelines designed to bring new gas fields to market, and with ongoing exploration activity, like Alaska. So says the Brattle Group, a Boston-based consulting firm working on the Alaska case on behalf of the Big 3. It cites the Kern River and the Maritimes and Northeast pipelines as examples.
According to Brattle, the M&NE pipeline, built concurrently with ongoing offshore exploration around Sable Island (another high-risk and challenging area in which to drill), and with an eye toward developing a new gas utility in Nova Scotia, exhibits policy parallels with Alaska.
By contrast, however, Canada has tended to favor rolled-in pricing for pipeline expansions, according to comments filed at FERC by certain Alaska state legislators, together with the legislature's budget and audit committee.
As they point out, Canada's National Energy Board OK'd rolled-in pricing in a 1990 order for a $2.6 billion pipe expansion designed to serve Northeast U.S. markets that doubled the cost-of-service rate base for Trans Canada. ()
The roll-in reportedly led to a 1.5 percent increase in the residential retail price of gas and a 2.9 percent increase in the retail industrial price. According to the Alaska legislators, the NEB rejected any concept that the mere payment of tolls by older established shippers conferred some sort of future right to be exempted from a toll increase. The legislators and other Alaskan interests believe that since the Alaska pipeline project will traverse Canada for long stretches, that FERC should adopt rolled-in pricing to mesh with the Canadian policy.
The Big 3 acknowledge the Canadian policy, but counter that when NEB Senior Counsel Margery Fowke testified before the Budget and Audit and Alaska state Senate Resources Committees earlier in 2004, she stated that the NEB followed no formal policy on the issue of rolled-in versus incremental rates. In fact, the Big 3 claim that Fowke testified that the board would not consider itself bound by prior decisions.
A Shot Across the Bow?
Is there cause for Alaska somehow to mistrust Big 3 oil majors?
In a decision issued in 2002, the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (the state's equivalent of a public utility commission) ruled that rates for intrastate transportation of oil on the TAPS oil pipeline had exceeded just and reasonable rates by 57 percent over the four-year period 1997-2000. ().

YUCK YUCK YUCK!! I thought this would be good but it tasted like plain raw pumpkin it was so gross. It might be saved if there was some roasted garlic and ricotta in the filling. The sauce was delicious though and would be good on any pasta. I personally love the mushy texture of the wonton wrappers and have been using them to make ravioli for years.
Pumpkin Ravioli with Gorgonzola Sauce
For a new way to enjoy pumpkin this season, try these pumpkin ravioli with a rich yet mellow Gorganzola sauce.
You can assemble the ravioli a day ahead, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. The ravioli will float when they are perfectly cooked. Pour a chilled chardonnay.

(Frankfort, Ky. AP)-General Motors Corp. is fighting legislation in 5 states, including Kentucky, which gives leverage to automobile dealers over carmakers in the rush for franchises.
Kentucky is the nation's third largest automotive manufacturer.
On Friday, GM said they would launch an ad campaign in Kentucky in hopes to stop the bill before it reaches Gov. Steve Beshear. GM plans for the $50,000 advertising campaign to begin Sunday in Kentucky with ads appearing in newspapers in Ashland, Bowling Green, Lexington, Louisville, Owensboro and Paducah.
The ads will point out that GM is a major employer in Kentucky, home to the company's Corvette plant. The ads call on Kentuckians to call their legislators in opposition to the measure.
Gov. Beshear said he was waiting to see a final draft of the bill before deciding whether he will sign it into law.
State Rep. Jimmie Lee, a former automobile dealer, created the legislation. The Elizabethtown Democrat said, "I don't think there's anything they can do to stop it." State Rep. Lee said he created the legislation in response to efforts by GM and Chrysler Group LLC to close dealerships.
A GM spokesperson, Greg Martin, said the Kentucky measure would establish special rights for failed auto dealerships, including an unprecedented 10-year right of first refusal, even to those who have performed poorly in the past.
Martin said that legislation like this would prevent GM from opening new dealerships that would be more effective in improving customer service and sales.
"We're going to be very aggressive in our opposition in every jurisdiction where we see these onerous types of bills," Martin said.
Martin also said closing some dealerships helped create a better company and there is an arbitration process for dealers currently in place.
"As part of our restructuring, everyone inside the GM family had to make sacrifices to create a new, stronger company," Martin said. "While we understand the frustration that some dealers feel, there is a fair arbitration process established by federal law that allows dealers to have their grievances heard by an independent third party."
GM told 2,000 dealers nationwide it planned to revoke their franchise agreements in October and Chrysler slashed 789 dealers. But Congress passed a law allowing dealers to appeal to arbitrators.
The cuts to GM's 6,000-dealer network were designed to compensate for much lower demand for cars and trucks, but some dealers argue that lots that are still profitable are at risk, and that the automaker hasn't offered enough details about how it's choosing which businesses to close.
GM executives said earlier this month that about 600 dealerships out of the 1,100 seeking to stay with the carmaker will receive letters giving them that option.
In Colorado, Martin said GM was able to get a compromise to a bill that would have given dealers the right of first refusal if the manufacturer decided to open another franchise nearby within 10 years. The compromise reduced the 10-year right of first refusal to 5 years.
Other states considering legislation like Kentucky's are Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio.

So, at best it was an expensive novelty. It was fun to look at the storm warning come on and I could look at the sky and guess at least as accurately as the Avocet.

Not as expensive as simular models that have simular featurs and test as accurate. I have beaten the daylights out it on many climbs and case was crushed once by postal service so Avocet replaced for free. Hold up to cave mud and moisture as well as alpine winter summits.

Bike Setup: Unknown, I am a ultralight pilot and hang glider pilot, as well as a fixed wing private.
Date Reviewed: May 21, 2001
Strengths: I like most of the features of the watch. I light would be nice so you can read the watch when the alarm goes off or during apres events that go late. A built-in heart monitor would be nice too. YOU CAN CHANGE THE BATTERY YOURSELVES!!! If your warranty is up, just take it to the watch repair shop and tell them to be carefull about the rubber grommet for waterproofness. I have changed the battery 3 times myself in my car outside of the drug store where I purchased the battery. It is a very common battery... sells for less than $3.00 US. You should put some kind of water sealant (sometimes you can use a "real thin" layer of vasaline on the grommet... too thick, the watch will fog) Silicone sealant that I use for my scuba camera (available at scuba shops) is ideal. 4 small screws and you're set.. You won't be without your watch for more than a half hour!!!!
Weaknesses: water proofness, water proof grommet is very thin and easy to damage while replacing the battery. Watch could come with 5 extra grommets and not raise the price more than $1.00 $US. The watch crystal is acrylic which scratches very easily... Thermometer is worthless unless you wear it outside your gloves. Watch can break easily that way during a fall. I sometimes put the watch outside my glove on the lift ride up... gives me an idea albeit not an accurate measure of the temp.
Bottom Line:
Look into the Suunto brand. Very ruggid - top of the line wrist computers. www.suunto.com. I don't have one but am thinking of getting a Suunto when the Avocet dies for good... unless something better comes along. (Suunto uses metal-glass crystal which is virtually scratch proof although very heavy glass)

Date Reviewed: April 26, 2001
Strengths: The altimeter/barometer is quite accurate. If you know how to read instructions and understand how a barometer works you shouldn't have any problems. Yes, you must calibrate the unit on a regular basis to insure proper altitude readings and barometric trend. You do this by determining the elevation at your current location i.e - home residence, bench mark or other known elevations. Adjust the unit periodically at known elevations through out the day and it will be very accurate. The is especially true in winter where large changes in atmospheric pressure are common. The barometric trend feature is useful only at the elevation that you last adjusted the unit. Also, accumulated vertical ascent/descent feature is quite useful as well as accurate when used to determine the overall vertical feet ascended/descended of a given ride/climb or ski outing. This feature is unaffected by the barometer function and is quite accurate. I personally haven't found much use for the splits feature on the watch but I am sure a more hardcore rider might find it useful. The alarm feature has come in handy for getting my ass up for an alpine start in the mountains for summit bids. Overall the unit has performed very well. However, if you have difficulty reading/understanding directions or don't understand how a barometer works don't buy this product.
Weaknesses: The unit requires bi-annual battery replacement and recalibration at a cost of around $20. It should be more like $10. The unit is not very water resistant. I had one go dead on me in a light rain during a Mtn. ride. Avocet replaced it with a new one at no charge. The temperature feature is only accurate in limited circumstances ie- inside a tent and out of the sun. When on the wrist it reads closer to your body temperature than the outside temp. As far as a light is concerned I really don't see the point. If it is dark out I am either sleeping or wearing a headlamp. Besides adding a light will more than likely require replacing the battery on a more frequent basis, another $20 charge, no thanks!

The ski functions are great and it records up to 300,000 vertical feet. Then you have to clear the memory. It has a daily lof that can be cleared with out loosing total vertical feet skied. The elastic band works great, I never used the plastic band.
You have to send the watch in to have the battery changed. The altimeter is not very accurate at high altitude. No light

Special Programs and Projects:
Courses such as Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, Human physiology, Microbiology, Organic Chemistry, Physics and Math trains students for the skills needed for preparing for MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). The courses such as Molecular and Cell Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry prepare students for research and graduate programs. In addition these classes prepare students if they decide to enter the field of recombinant DNA Technology.
In addition we have classes such as Freshman Seminar, Sophomore Seminar and Senior Seminar where students read current literature in Biology and learn to analyze and interpret data. In addition they have to present papers in front of their peers.
Most Popular Class:
Cell and Molecular Biology class and Lab helps students understand at the molecular level how living organisms work. In addition with the popularity of Crime related shows, they get to do many experiments used in forensic science such as DNA Fingerprinting. This class excites them and usually helps them when they go for their summer research internships.
Comparative anatomy (Bio 221): Students are trained to develop the vertebrate dissection skills.
General Microbiology (Bio 341): Students learn to stain, identify and learn the laboratory aseptic conditions of using microbes.
Research Opportunities:
Students are constantly reminded and recommended for various research programs. The students get Co-Op credit for these summer internships and also get paid. Sometimes students discover their passion for research during these internships and decide to pursue careers in science. Some have sought employment after graduation.
We are in the process of establishing a partnership with the Ohio State University Biomedical post Baccalaureate programs. Such a partnership will help our students to either pursue careers in research or in the medical program. We also are in partnership with Wright State University Medical School's Early Assurance Program. This program is only open to four schools in the Dayton area where students in their sophomore year are eligible to get early admission to their medical program. For more information please refer to the link http://www.med.wright.edu/eap. We have an understanding with Wright State University's Nursing Department. This program allows students interested in a career in Nursing, to complete their undergraduate degree here at Wilberforce and then join the Beacon program which will allow the students to earn a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree in 15 months. For more information please see the link below. http://www.wright.edu/conh/prog_info/beacon.html
We also have a very good relationship with the EPA in Cincinnati as well as Children's Hospitals both in Columbus and Cincinnati.
Special Interest Story:
Three years ago, we had a student, a basketball player determined to get into medical school. She was a straight A student who did everything to ensure a very successful college experience. However, her road to medical school had a couple of bumps. She decided that she was not going to give up. She enrolled for a Master's program and re took her MCAT exams and re-applied. She continued to keep up a relationship with the school she was interested in. Sure enough a year after she graduated she secured admission into the medical school and is doing very well! This young lady shows that with determination and belief in one's ability, anything can be achieved! We have so many stories of students who against all odds have been successful and that in itself makes teaching at Wilberforce such a rewarding experience.

Hi, Linda-
Do you prefer the new edit system with edit tab to monitor or do you want e-mails for updates? I am finding that some still want to have e-mails and thought I would check as my path seems to cross your memorials regularly! So glad you have put them in Find-A-Grave. I would never have found them otherwise!

I want to thank you for all your hard work on findagrave.com. It means so much to so many and it is often a great labor of love.
Please link her to her parents for me. What a great service you have provided for her family.

These goggles also feature Anon panoramic lens technology to enhance your view so you'll miss nothing. There's more to the Anon goggles than meet the eyes though, so you should take a look at them from the inside now.

The Text is Book 1 of 4 (three books and one supplement) of the A Course in Miracles series. A Course in Miracles, also known as "the Course" or ACIM, was scribed by Dr. Helen Schucman. It is a self-study course that aims to assist listeners, readers, and students in achieving spiritual transformation. ACIM presents a purely non-dualistic philosophy of forgiveness and includes practical lessons and applications for the practice of forgiveness in one's daily life.
As its title implies, A Course in Miracles is arranged throughout as a teaching device. It consists of three books: Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. The order in which students choose to use the books, and the ways in which they study them, depends on their particular needs and preferences. Two supplements to the Course: "Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process, Practice" and "The Song of Prayer", are also included as part of ACIM.
The curriculum the Course presents is carefully conceived and is explained, step by step, at both the theoretical and practical levels. It emphasizes application rather than theory, and experience rather than theology. Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end.
Book 1: Text is largely theoretical, and sets forth the concepts on which the Course's thought system is based. Its ideas contain the foundation for the lessons in Book 2, the Workbook for Students. Without the practical application the Workbook provides, the Text would remain largely a series of abstractions which would hardly suffice to bring about the thought reversal at which the Course aims.
Book 2: Workbook for Students includes 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. It is not necessary, however, to do the lessons at that tempo, and one might want to remain with a particularly appealing lesson for more than one day. The practical nature of the Workbook is underscored by the introduction to its lessons, which emphasizes experience through application rather than a prior commitment to a spiritual goal. Some of the ideas the Workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.
Book 3: Manual for Teachers is written in question and answer form, and provides answers to some of the more likely questions a student might ask. It also includes a clarification of a number of the terms the Course uses, explaining them within the theoretical framework of the Text. The Course makes no claim to finality, nor are the lessons in its Workbook intended to bring the student's learning to completion. At the end, the reader is left in the hands of his or her own Internal Teacher, Who will direct all subsequent learning as He sees fit.
Supplements to ACIM, "Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process, Practice" and "The Song of Prayer", were scribed by Dr. Helen Schucman, as was A Course in Miracles, and are extensions of its principles.

"Course Students will adore."
I actually didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I am, when I listened to the narration, I was not pleased with the voice. I thought it dry and unenthusiastic. But 10 hours in, I can say Mr. Stewart was an excellent choice. His pacing is excellent, his enunciation clear.
The Course can be daunting, and I truly believe being able to listen as well as read will be helpful to any serious Course student.
"Not useful for real course students"
This is NOT a review of A Course in Miracles. It is a review of the Audible rendition of it. The chapter list in the Audible content does not correspond to the chapter in ACIM so there is no way to go to a particular chapter that you are studying. The voice does not announce what chapter it is at the start of each section, so I can't even use that to go back or forth and find the right place. This Audible book is basically useless to me.
Yes of course, but not in Audible format unless the fix the chapter list.
I LOVE The book, in printed form, just not the Audible version.
It would be awesome if they would redo this with real chapters.
"This is VERY useful for Course students"
I am SO excited ACIM is on Audible!! This this the CD version for those that have it (I purchased this exact material for over $100 5-6 years ago). Jim Stewart is an excellent narrator. I love the fact that I can listen to the Course in the car now. For those who haven't heard of ACIM and are interested...I would recommend starting with Disappearance of the Universe (book form not the audio...audio is too distracting with the three narrators). It if speaks to you, it can change your life!
This book is life changing. For those who study it, the audible version is really helpful. I would recommend that for people who are already familiar with the Course, having read it at least once prior to listening to it. Besides, Jim Stewart's brilliant, as usual. I Can't imagine of a more suitable voice than his to this unique piece of information.
"I won't lie. It's deep."
Having heard so much about the 'Course In Miracles', I thought that it would flow and be much like Rhonda Byrnes or Marianne Williamson. This is not easy reading. Many people tell me 'The Four Agreements' is difficult to understand and I find it very fluid and easy to read and understand. 'The 'Course in Miracles' is not nighttime reading. It is what it says, a course. You have to be alert and focused to understand the concepts and teachings. It is no wonder that people convene to study the teachings in a group. I think this is the route to take if you really want to comprehend this book.
I Love that I can listen to the wonderful book as I fall to sleep at night and wake up listening as well.
There is no comparison.
His loving even tone. His voice helps me understand the course in ways I never could by reading it myself.
The Course in Miracles: The Return of "Jesus"
This is the Best audio book I ever purchased.
"Excellent! Well narrated and profound"
Insiring, enlightening, transforming
He brought the message home with conviction, a warm and reassuring voice
Forgive as you see each person as God sees them
"The Most Important Book Of The Century"
This book is more important than the Bible and the Koran put together. It is the most influential and transforming book I have ever read. Do yourselves the favor of reading it and finding out on your own.
"Thruth does not require Defense...ELIGHTENED exper"
This goes into the category of almost "SACRED"
May be the Bible...... without all the fiction.
NO...its written in such a way that will require more than one reading...... and you will gladly comply
SUPER BOOK....Want to hear the voice of LOVE,PEACE AND FORGIVENESS....this is the book.
"Amazing clarity of topic!"
This ranks in my top 10 of favorites, as it has to do with life and living. It contains powerful insights into meeting our potential. Like all spiritually living books (e.g. Bible, Quran, Tao Te Ching, Bahgavad Gita, Book Of Mormon, Tebetian Book Of Living and Dying, Power Of Now, etc..), this will lift anyone to new heights of awareness and spirituality. The book stands on its own, regardless of whether or not you believe in its author or how it came about.
have read this book before this is the 3rd time. am getting audible to read the book to me while i follow the printed text.. this way i dont fall asleep and the goodness goes in. definitely the easiest way to read a hard book.
....as far as i am able to say, a true teaching. Even those working other paths back home might be fascinated and uplifted. i cannot compliment the narrator enough, Jim Stewart, who speaks in a clear voice intoning the words as only someone could who understands them, at a steady pace helping the listener with the flow of ideas. I far prefer to listen to ACIM now, to reading the text.
"Getting the best out of the book and my time."
Both have inherent benefit that may not nececerily be replaceable.I enjoyed both.
Well I have bought not a book that will never finish until the end.I grow as much as Truth can take me.The book is a journey with out end.
In a away it has done justice to the book with inviting voice.
Not really.I wish I could but it is 53 hours long.But I must say it breaks the record for me as I could listen for more than I have ever done.
If it can be narrated in a way where we have as many narrators as possible to keep the monotonous voice out and the understanding more.At least a voice of God,Christ and the subject,the readers.
"The most powerful voice of truth"
This audio version of A Course in Miracles is so powerful that I can only listen to it a bit a time. The teachings and principles are so deep that it drops down into my awareness and learning and resonnates the sound of truth.
Who could have the depth of maturity and mastery of understanding of the material and make such a magnificent job of it but for Jim Stewart? He reads the book with such a sense of embodied knowledge. It makes me feel fully connected to the work.
A Course in Miracles is a large volume of text to read and to digest and for me p be able to listen to it be shared in such a calm and peaceful way is a real gift.
I recommend this audio book to anyone interested in A Course in Miracles even if you have the book I suggest it goes into different channels of learning in the listening format.
Wonderful piece of work - thank you.
"Forget it"
When I joined AA over twenty years ago I followed some of the principles that came from the CIM and found them helpful. This volume however is nothing but an endless stream of non-nonsensical dribble. If I recall correctly its one of the other volumes that helps made scene of this dry narrative. Get those first and cut to the chase.
