International Smosher Notebook Project.
Have you ever wondered how to make Smosh know you exist? Maybe you've even tried to send them some mail but they never showed it on MWS. You've always wanted to show them how much they mean to you, share your story maybe, but have no way to demonstrate what they mean to you. The Smosher community is so vast, they can't pay attention to every single fan out there. But you don't want to stay an anonymous fangirl, you want to stand out from the crowd. You want them to know you're out there and that they're important to you.
That's where the International Smosher Notebook comes in handy.
What is it?
The ISN is a simple notebook that will travel from country to country during a defined period of time. It will be divided by country and every participant will have a certain space to draw/write or do whatever they want on. Smoshers that participate can basically do anything they want in their allowed space, as long as they don't damage the work of others, wreck the notebook and so on. Show us how Smosh affected your lives, how much they mean to you.
How does is work?
(I kind of suck at explaining so try to follow.)
I, Inès, will first buy a notebook. I will divide the notebook by countries, write a short introduction, then mail the project to another resident of my country (which is Canada). After every participant of my country has filed the space that was given to them, the last person to receive the journal will ship it internationally to the next nation on the list.
The last country to receive the notebook will be the US, as it is the country that Smosh resides in. The last person to receive the notebook will mail it to them and pray that they receive it!
How do I participate?
To participate, all you have to do is message on here or on my other blog saying your name, your age, your country, what you're planning to do it the notebook and if you're willing to ship internationally or not. IF YOU'RE UNDER 18, please get the permission of your parents to ship internationally, as it is pretty costly. Unless you pay with your own money. Then I don't think they give a shit.
A deadline will be set when more participants check in. I strongly recommend to follow both my blog and this one to get updates and news on how the project is going, the list of participants, etc.
At least one person per country has to be willing to ship internationally, or your country will not figure in the notebook.
Are there guidelines I need to follow?
I'm lacking ideas. What can I put in the journal?
You could…
… draw something?
… write stuff?
… make a collage?
… make a mixtape of songs that make you think of smosh?
… scrapbook?
… tape a USB key containing a video that you made?
… draw a comic?
… make a movie poster?
… make bracelets or jewelry ?
… glue in pictures of you and your smosher friends?
… glue in pictures of you cosplaying?
These are just ideas. Everything is valid though, be creative!
Anything else?
It is strongly recommended to film yourself while you get the journal, do your thing in it and then mail it to the next person on the list, as a video commemorating all of you guy's work will be put up once the notebook is sent to Ian and Anthony. Talk about how smosh affected you. Where are you from? How long have you been a fan? What's your favourite video? Why did you decide to participate? If you're camera shy, just footage of your work in the journal, you receiving it and sending it back will do. You don't even have to show your face if you don't want to.
OK, I think I get it now. What if I have more questions?
Message me on here or on my other blog. The most asked or relevant questions will not be answered privately but posted on here, so pay attention!
If you're going to post pictures of your work here, tag them ISNP and nothing else, please. We don't want to spoil the surprise for Ian and Anthony don't we?
All URL changes have to be advised on this blog, or else I won't have any way to contact you and your inscription will be deleted. Thank you!
Those who are willing to record the video mentioned in the set of rules have to message me for further instructions. Thank you!
A deadline has been set for the inscriptions!
Everyone who wants to participate has to message me before July 16th, 2013. I will not accept inscriptions after that day.
(Thanks to ian-hecox for helping me write this and to youtuberwishingwell for pushing me through this.)

Pros- Can put them on and take them off super fast. Very comfortable and very warm. They feel like normal shoes at times. "Sick" out soul grip on ice and stomp pad. Kick ass styles and designs. No laces!!!
Cons- They are a little chubby on your bindings. You must buy a half inch or above your normal shoe size.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Back when wrath launched and ret was nerfed " to the ground" I stopped playing my paladin. Honestly I agreed with most of the nerfs except for one and that was the nerf to judgment of the wise. I felt it was a very poor design or paladins to depend on spiritual attunement or their mana regen. Blizzard (eventually) saw the light on this and changed it back and got ride o SA or ret and holy which I think is good it really didn't do as much or us as they claimed.
The other reason I stopped playing my paladin at this time that I felt that blizzard was mistreating the class at this point. If you played a paladin during tbc or before as ret as I did you had to endure so much abuse that it was a wonder that any one ever played them at all. When blizzard released the new paladin talents to the live servers in their over powered state it was a huge mistake. And when they started to hot fix us (an unusual treatment at the time) It felt very unfair. We had been treated so badly for so long it was the breaking point for many of us.
Please remember that at the time it was blizzard's policy that if a class was over powered or under powered they would be left that way until the next patch. They never hot fixed any thing (except paladins*cough* reckoning *cough*). That's not the kind of special treatment that you want.


text: Private eye DB has a pretty unusual partner. Jesse's been in his office a lot longer than he has, hanging around like ghosts have to. They do pretty well together, playing chess and solving cases, which Jesse figures is better than an eternity popping in and out of walls. Three different cases keep DB and Jesse jumping in this compilation. In Eye Spy, DB and Jesse end up embroiled in a murder investigation, one that might leave an innocent man in jail if they don't get it solved. They have a lot more to learn about each other, too, but can a man and a ghost find any common ground to touch on? In My Little Eye, Jesse has the ghost of a little girl named Gwen on his mind, DB has a new informant, Yanya, who disapproves of his life with Jesse, and they have to keep a killer from striking again. Things seem to be going well for DB and Jesse for a change and then Detective Joe Donners shows up. Donners starts pressing DB for the truth about how DB always seems to be one step ahead, and Jesse is convinced that Donners wants even more than that. Can DB solve the mystery, fob off the detective, and keep his love life, such as it is, from imploding right before his very eyes?

Found January 03, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports:
PLAYERS: Roger Mason, Flip Saunders, Rashard Lewis
TEAMS: Washington Wizards
TEAMS: Washington Wizards
Roger Mason was able to play only a few minutes against the Bucks on Friday before being pulled from the game. His limited role wasn't the result of injury or not being up to speed with the Wizards' offense, however. Mason was ejected from the game because a paperwork glitch resulted in his name not appearing on the team's 15-man roster, and thus he was not eligible to play. It was a human mistake," a frustrated Mason said after the game according to the Washington Post. "It happens." Mason's name did not appear on the official team roster that was submitted from the league office prior to the game. Neither Wizards coach Flip Saunders nor Washington's public relations staff identified the error, and the roster was signed off on and made official. Despite rumors, NBA spokesman Tim Frank denied a report that the NBA has been installing a new data system and Mason was still listed as a member of the Knicks. The most entertaining moment of the unusual situation came when Mason hit a tur...

Walmart lobbying: Panel may re-examine individuals
New Delhi: The enquiry committee to probe alleged lobbying by US-based retail major Walmart in India may re-examine various individuals. Also, the Cabinet is likely to consider extending the tenure of the committee for another month today.
The Government constituted a one-man committee on February 6, headed by former Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court Justice Mukul Mudgal, which was asked to submit its report within three months (by April 30). The committee is to inquire into media reports on disclosures of Walmart before the US Senate regarding their lobbying activities.
Since February, the committee met four times, with the last meeting on April 10, and examined various individuals, including 'representatives of corporate entities' related to the media reports. However, "Some new issues have cropped up. That is why the committee has framed some more questions. Answers to these questions may be submitted in writing by the persons already appeared. These people may also be asked to give oral evidence again." a senior Government official told Business Line.
The Government, while announcing the setting up of the committee, had said that taking note of press reports concerning Walmart regarding its disclosure filed in the US Senate declaring its expenditure of close to $25 million (about Rs 125 crore) since 2008 on lobbying activities undertaken by it in India, an assurance was given in Parliament to entrust an inquiry into the matter by a retired judge.

5 tips to travel smart with mobile gear
Summary: Frequent business travelers know that smart planning can make the difference between a good trip and travel nightmares. Following these tips will help make that vacation or business trip provide smooth sailing.
1 of 5Image
Bring a cable stash
Whether traveling for business or a vacation, forgetting one of the chargers/cables for your mobile gear can get you started on the wrong foot. I learned long ago that the best way to prepare for a trip is to get a cheap cable stash for keeping all the gadget chargers and cables in one place.
Since I always travel with a laptop and a tablet, I tend to buy an extra power adapter for each gadget. These spare adapters stay in the cable stash, and at packing time I just toss it in one of the pockets of my carryon luggage.
In addition to a power adapter for the laptop, tablet, and phone, I always have a long ethernet cable in the stash. Some hotels still only provide wired ethernet connectivity so having an ethernet cable comes in handy.
Many gadgets now have some sort of USB charging solution with a microUSB connector on the device. For this reason I always have an extra USB-to-microUSB cable in the stash just in case.
Cable stashes can be found almost anywhere, and you don't need anything fancy. Make sure you pick up one that is big enough to handle all the adapters and cables you plan to bring.
I've used the cable stash shown above for years and I don't remember where I bought it. You'll notice the mesh top of the stash which makes it possible to see at a glance what is inside. I find the security people at the airport like this visibility, and it is less likely they search the luggage when they can see inside.
Mobile power strip
Frequent travelers have no doubt dealt with a lack of convenient power outlets in hotel rooms. There are often not enough outlets to charge the laptop, tablet, and phone. Mobile power strips are a simple way to deal with the outlets in any hotel room.
I have used the Monster power strip shown above for over 5 years and it has been a wonderful solution. The 4 outlets are easy to access and I never worry about the power situation.
There are a number of brands of mobile power strips and most of them should work just fine. The important thing is to get one and put it in the cable stash so you don't forget it.
Many mobile power strips, including the current one from Monster like the one above, now include USB charging ports. This makes it possible to leave the charger for the phone (or other low power gadgets) behind and just bring the USB charging cable.
The mobile power strip makes it possible to unplug all devices and then hide the power strip with all adapters attached in a hotel room drawer when heading out for the day. I prefer to do that rather than leave my gear exposed where it can possibly disappear.

If anyone is interested in getting together I have plenty to learn and I've got a few guns that could be fun to share... Hit me up

Why do so many think that population growth is an important issue for the environment? Don't they know the facts of demographics?
We face many environmental challenges, but the foremost is the risk for a severe climate change due to CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.
I meet so many that think population growth is a major problem in regard to climate change. But the number of children born per year in the world has stopped growing since 1990. The total number of children below 15 years of age in the world are now relatively stable around 2 billion. The populations with an increasing amount of children born are fully compensated by other populations with a decreasing number of children born. A final increase of 2 billion people is expected until the world population peaks at about 9 billion in 2050. But the increase with 2 billion is comprised by already existing persons growing up to become adults, and old people like me (+60 years). So when I hear people saying that population growth has to be stopped before reaching 9 billion, I get really scared, because the only way to achieve that is by killing.
So the addition of another 2 billion in number constitutes a final increase of less than 30%, and it is inevitable. Beyond 2050 the world population may start to decrease if women across the world will have, on average, less than 2 children. But that decrease will be slow.
So the fact is that we have to plan for a common life on Earth with 7-9 billion fellow human beings, and the environmental challenge must be met by a more effective use of energy and a much more green production of energy.
The only thing that can change this is if the last 1-2 poorest billion do not get access to school, electricity, basic health services and family planning. Only if the horror of poverty remains will we become more than 9 billion.
So my question is: Are these facts known? If not, why?
It is important because placing emphasis on population diverts attention from what has to be done to limit the climate crisis.

Feb 17 2011: I've learned to be a little skeptical of experts saying they "know" what the final world population will be in 50 years.
Perhaps you could benefit from watching an on-line course on population from Yale:
In it the professor points out how grossly wrong almost every past prediction has been.
But I agree that the best (perhaps only) form of population control is economic development to a minimum standard. And that should be the ultimate focus. Meanwhile education in birth control methods also has it's place in keeping the ultimate number down (perhaps significantly).
Hans Rosling 200+Feb 18 2011: Hi Tim, Well the demographic predictions have not been very wrong in the last 40 years, and the number of children born per year has stopped growing. BUT of ten children that reach their 15th birthday in China in the last years, only 8 were replaced by newborns in China. The other 2 were replaced by newborns in Sub Saharan Africa.
The children below 15 years of age are not increasing in number any longer, but this is because the countries with fewer children born are compensated by countries with more children born. Or one could put it in an abstract but clear way, about 2% of the children of the world are annually emigrating to Africa.

Ronn Garry Jr. believes in the state's health care reform law. He likes the idea behind the groundbreaking 2006 legislation, that everybody should contribute to a system we all use. And as a matter of fairness, he wants everybody, especially his own employees, to have health insurance.
But the law Garry supports is kicking his behind.

Old Saybrook — On just her third sweep with the long-handled dip net, Ellie Bors found what she was looking for.
"Guys," called Bors, a doctoral candidate at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, to the four marine sciences interns working with her at the Town Dock. "There's huge ... lots of shrimp here. And you know what's interesting? I got all these from the sediment."
She emptied the net into a shallow metal bin, examining each of the translucent, antennaed shrimp, the smallest about the size of a teardrop, before placing them into a sealed container for lab analysis.
"Sometimes it's really hard to tell what kind of shrimp they are until you get them under a microscope," said Bors. "On some level, shrimp just look like shrimp."
Bors and the four interns, part of the Williams College maritime studies program at Mystic Seaport, sampled three sites on the Connecticut River in Old Saybrook Friday as part of an East Coast survey this summer for three types of invasive shrimp, two from Europe and one from Asia. They were also looking for a fourth type native to Florida that was found last year at Woods Hole, far north of its normal range. The purpose of the surveys is to determine the distribution and abundance of these shrimp, and at the same time assess how populations of native grass shrimp are faring.
"It's a matter of whether the invasive shrimp will disrupt the role the grass shrimp play," said Nancy Balcom, associate director and extension leader at Connecticut Sea Grant, which is helping fund the surveys along with other Sea Grant branches from Maine to New Jersey and the state of Massachusetts. Connecticut Sea Grant is based at the University of Connecticut's Avery Point campus in Groton.
There are multiple efforts to try to prevent invasive species from entering estuaries such as Long Island Sound, including controls on where ballast water from shipping vessels can be discharged, Balcom said. Once a species enters an ecosystem, there is little that can be done to stop its spread, other than to keep tabs on how it's affecting other marine life, she said.
The European and Asian species, first found on the East Coast in 2001, are important parts of fish diets in their native ecosystems. Locally, the invasive shrimp project is being led by James Carlton, professor of Marine Sciences and director of the Mystic Seaport-Williams College program. Each week since June, the four interns have been sampling the Mystic River near the Seaport, at high and low tide and various times of day, to establish baseline data on the invasive shrimp and any changes in their abundance.
Since June, the group has collected one set of samples at brackish waters throughout the Northeast, finding them in some places they expected and others they didn't, Bors said, and are now working on their second set. Before coming to Old Saybrook, the group had been to Maine, New Hampshire, Cape Cod and Rhode Island, and were heading next to three sites in Milford before traveling to New York and New Jersey next week.
"It's not uncommon for invasive species to be in estuaries, because they have higher tolerances" for differences in salinity, Bors said. "And also a lot of ports are in estuaries."

Drool-worthy Listing in Seattle's Central District
Having grown up in the Central District and experienced first-hand the radical change in its demographic profile over the years, we're usually the one to tsk-tsk conversions of old buildings whose businesses used to form a part of a living -- and disappearing -- community, into high-end developments locals wouldn't dream of being able to afford. But this remodel of a 1922 grocery store managed to bust our reserve wide open.
What the pictures don't show is that this building is right in the middle of a very nice residential area, without another commercial building nearby. It's been quietly in use as a home for some time, but it lay shuttered and empty before then. An interesting note: the Space sign in this post about hip salvage store Great Stuff used to hang above it's storefront (the letters are rearranged from a Payless sign).
The standout features of this home are the kitchen and the dining room/office space behind the former storefront window. The sole bedroom on the top floor opens to a balcony facing the front -- and, we think, the Seattle city skyline -- on top of the dining room.
And now, the price tag: $499,950. At 1150 square feet and with the market the way it is, maybe it'll come down. Then again, maybe we'd prefer a neighborhood grocery store.

Kinda neat, but def. feels like a converted store with some of the smallish windows, lower ceilings, and somewhat akward layout. I wouldn't want to live there.
It looks cold. Now I am sitting in Chicago surrounded by 9" of snow, so everything feels cold.
But the rooms just don't look inviting enough to spend that kind of money.
Too industrial for my tastes.
It looks like a store that's been converted into a home. I think it's just the architecture. It wasn't built for living in.
Definitely not a fan of this house. It looks like a store remodeled on a tight budget. Placing modern furniture in a space does not automatically make it great. And you can definitely get more square footage for your money in Seattle at that price.
My favourite industrial conversion is by Montreal's YH2 Architects. They bought a car shop in a residential neighbourhood, and converted it to 2 homes. Love it.
Checking out the larger images of the exterior, it seems like attention to detail wasn't a major concern.
Although I don't mind the layout and I LOVE the green tile in the kitchen, it just doesn't seem finished...
at near $500,000 that is hardly affordable! at least not for me - ever. but i live in seattle and know how expensive housing is...and know how crappy new places are, and look (cheap). so this is cute- but i know true that a nice fix up of a store front rental in many communities (ok, maybe not in seattle) would be way cheaper. check out craigslist- chicago ...places like this go for about $1200 per month.
Tough crowd. I think the decor is contributing to the reaction.
But I'd move in.
And lynnea, Chicago is covered in several feet of snow right now. Real estate, and geography, are the trade-offs.
Move it to Los Angeles and the price will be $1,000,000.
I think it is pretty cool. And way to re-use rather than re-build.
Too bad the writer didn't do some research.... This place is one block from my house and sits right next door to an entire commercial strip that is about a block long. It's right across the street from some of Seattle's ugliest public housing and a convenience store. Oh, did I fail to mention the vacant lot and the gravel pit that a local archetectural firm is using while constructing it's new condos ( $280,000- $500,00- 700sq/ft-1100 sq/ft. This place is proof that it pays to shop around!!
p.s. it's not in the Central District but the Squire Park neighborhood.
It is rather close to Yesler, isn't it? It's so interesting how the feel of neighborhoods in Seattle can change pretty drastically from block to block -- some of the best are within visual contact of the shadiest. And it's all steps from downtown; what's shady now likely won't be shady for long. In the meantime we're seeing a lot of noisy transition and sad loss of the old character.
I didn't learn that the neighborhood I had grown up in (on 19th and Alder -- maybe we're neighbors, chartreuse!) was called Squire Park (and not the Central District) until college, when my mom joined the neighborhood counsel. A lot of people still don't know that Squire Park even exists, and call that whole stretch between MLK and Boren, Rainier and Madison, the "Central District."
Thanks for keeping it specific, chartreuse!
It probably wasn't called "Squire Park" prior to Seattle's "Weed and Seed" efforts during the 1980s. This is when many of the green-colored neighborhood signs appeared around the city, creating smaller neighborhoods from the cloth of larger districts. This was a top-down effort and probably was not the best way to go about community building and organizing. Many long-time residents remain ambivalent about the arbitrary names and boundaries. Some residents even view the "Weed and Seed" program and its outcomes as city mandated gentrification.
a little off topic. sorry. anyway, i'd live in that store house.

There's no defense for the indefensible, or something like that
Apparently Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com saw the same game I did. Because he spent the entirety of his post on the Falcons' victory over San Diego — was there ever a victory so misleading? — discussing the winning team's defense. Or the abject lack of same. Wrote Yasinskas:
"The Falcons aren't going to go out and blow up their defense at the end of the preseason. They're going with what they've got and that's a little scary. They could have gone out and grabbed some blue-chip defensive backs in the offseason. But they didn't.
"They're going with Brent Grimes and Chris Houston as their starting cornerbacks and Erik Coleman and Thomas DeCoud as their starting safeties, for better or worse. If the Falcons are going to make the best of this, they need to do some of the same things they do with their offensive line. They don't have a tremendous amount of talent there, but they make the most of it because they hide their

Leave it to G-Power to build another high-powered program for German automaker BMW .
For starters, the M6-Bi-Tronik III will come with a performance upgrade that involves optimizing the M6 Coupe's twin-turbo V-8 engine and adding in a new Titanium exhaust system that includes titanium link pipes with resonators starting from the downpipe catalysts, netting the sports car 640 horsepower, a full 80 ponies more than the standard model. The car's twisting power was also increased to 573 pound-feet of torque. This nets the M6 a top speed of 195 mph and a 0-to-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds.
In addition to the performance upgrade, the Bi-Tronik III program will also receive an RS coil-over suspension system, a four-pipe stainless steel exhaust system, a set of 21-inch Silverstone RS forged wheels and carbon-fiber brakes. Also included is a high-performance brake system that features six brake pistons and 420 mm (16.53 inches) brake disc diameter for the front axle.
The cost for the entire kit is €36,150 (about $47,250 at the current exchange rates).
Update: This review has been updated with new images, the official pricing of the kit and additional specifications.

Why I give
We have always believed that literature and history are essential to a life well-lived. We're proud to support the UGA Libraries.
—George A. (AB '50) and Nancy Montgomery
George A. and Nancy Montgomery traveled the globe during his years as vice president of the Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling Company and later as founder of the Atlanta-based Montgomery Properties. Fascinated both by history and literature, George has written two novels: Pillow of Gold, later published as The Eye of the Eagle, about the story of the nation's first major gold rush, and And the Mountain Cried, in which Montgomery speculates on the fate of D.B. Cooper, who in 1971 hijacked a Boeing 727 for $200,000 in ransom and parachuted from the plane, never to be seen again. The Montgomery's $2 million gift to the UGA Libraries will help pay for construction of the Richard B. Russell building, which will house the Special Collections Library, and will help fund an endowment for the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame, established by UGA in 2000 to recognize Georgia writers whose work reflects the character of the state, its land and its people. A reading room in the Russell building will be named for George and Nancy Montgomery.

On a table at the front of the room were a 24-year-old houseplant and pots and pots of miniature plants, enough to make a small forest. They were examples of plants trained in the art of bonsai (bones-eye), or literally a �tree in a pot.�<>>
Exports of bonsai trees from Japan have increased significantly, 10 times what they were a decade ago as reported last October by Japan Today, a Tokyo-based online newspaper. The biggest buyers are China, Italy and the United States. The simple, classic style appeals to contemporary designers and the small size fits well in many down-sized homes.
On February 16, the Penn State Franklin County Extension Service Master Gardener program held a workshop on
The Art of Japanese Landscaping and Bonsai. Over 20 people attended to hear about growing and training bonsai and the elements of Japanese landscaping in gardens.<>>
�I�ve been trying for over 15 years to create a bonsai,� said Tisha Corwell, Chambersburg. The workshop has Corwell ready to �try it again.�
Master Gardener Barbara Petrucci spoke about bonsai, providing information about plant selections, noting that the proportions of the plant and the pot are important.
She talked about different styles such as cascading and slanting as well as wiring, re-potting, over-wintering and pruning the plants.<>>
Barbara Petrucci spoke about the art of bonsai
On display was Petrucci�s Schefflera (Umbrella) plant which she began training 24 years ago. She took the opportunity to show how to prune on this plant, eliciting a few gasps from the audience as she snipped off very healthy green growths.

A long-time bonsai enthusiast, Petrucci participated in the workshop hoping to find others interested in establishing an informal bonsai club. �And I wanted to show off my plants,� she laughed.
Gardeners are including elements of Japanese landscape in part because it seeks to capture and celebrate the splendor and variety of the universe in a microcosm, recognizing that everything- plants, people, even inanimate objects like stones and mountains- contain a dynamic, spiritual essence. And each element is symbolic of the whole and a worthy subject of respect and contemplation.
Wrapped in a dragon-embroidered kimono, Master Gardener Sylvia Kremp talked about Japanese inspired landscaping. Her interest grew out of research she did for a program presentation. Kremp said, "The more I researched online the more I was interested" in the elements and symbolism used in this style.
Sylvia Kremp - Japanese Landscape
Kremp walked the audience through her home landscape, describing the reasons for placement of certain plants. She described how using Yin and Yang, a Chinese concept describing opposite or contrary forces are really interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, she shaped areas and created focal points.
�I have a Japanese-inspired garden,� said Bonnie Kress, Shippensburg, who came to learn more about this style of gardening. She added that there are non-Japanese elements and agreed that may be more like a Japanese-fusion garden.
�I came primarily for the landscaping,� said Karen Sigler, Mifflintown. She is working to complete a Japanese inspired landscape and has both a weeping cherry tree and Hinoki cypress plants already installed.
Sylvia Kremp and Barbara Petrucci
Audience members had an opportunity to look over books on display, exhibit boards with photos from different stages of bonsai plants and some were able to take home a few starter-cuttings from Barbara�s quarter-century Schefflera.

Neff's S71M63X2GB is a built in model so is designed to fit behind your cupboard door. Ideal for getting that streamlined effect. It comes with an impressive A ++ energy rating. It's 20% more efficient than standard A rated models and only costs 32p per wash.
It has a large capacity and holds 14 place settings – great for a household of 4 to 5. The S71M63X2GB is really suited to open plan living too. It has a 42dB noise level –about the same as a whispered conversation – so you can watch TV without being drowned out.
There's some cool features with this model. The touch controls are both modern and easy to use. It also has an intensive zone that uses powerful water jets to tackle heavily soiled crockery. It doesn't use an extra water either. And, if you've been cooking with a wok or bulky pans, then the Rackmatic is really handy. You can adjust the baskets to create more room for larger kitchenware.
For peace of mind, it comes with a child safety lock that prevents the controls from being played with.

I've been wondering exactly the same thing lately, and was on the verge of
posting the question to the list myself.
I don't know any reason why the base architecture can't be virtualized.
It seems to me that the problem will be PALcode. NT requires different
PALcode than Linux. If all PALcode instructions were priviledged, that
would be fine, because the VM would just simulate the NT PALcode. This
would only require minor changes to the Linux kernel. The VM manager
could actually run as a separate Linux process.
However, some of the PALcode instructions are not priviledged. I think
dealing with this would require modifying the SRM/Milo PALcode to allow
a means to trap PALcode calls from specific processes and bounce them to
the VM.
Although in principle the VM could fully simulate the raw iron to allow
unmodified NT HAL and device drivers to work, it seems like it might be
advantageous to write a special HAL and device drivers specifically for
the VM. This would be less general, but should be much easier and also
have higher performance. The NT DDK is necessary to write device drivers,
but it is readily available. I've no idea what is needed to write a new
Perhaps someone more knowlegeable about the Alpha architecture and
PALcode would care to comment?

You should consult a doctor about the dosage before using this medicine!
Buscalm has a high affinity for serotonin 5-HT1A-receptors in the neurons of the dorsal suture, and moderate affinity for dopamine D2-receptors in the brain. Buscalm has no pronounced affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors, it does not affect the binding of GABA.
Unlike benzodiazepines, the level of spontaneous excitation of noradrenergic cells in locus ceruleus (locus ceruleus) under the action of Buscalm increases rather than decreases. These specific differences in the scene due to differences in the development of dependence and tolerance between benzodiazepines and buspirone.
It is believed that Buscalm does not cause tolerance, physical or psychological dependence.
Buscalm (Buspar) is a psychoactive drug and pharmaceutical medication of the piperazine and azapirone chemical classes. It is used primarily as an anxiolytic, but also to a lesser extent as an antidepressant. Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) gained Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Buscalm in 1986, and it went generic in 2001.
Buscalm is used to treat anxiety. It helps to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, for example, feeling tense, irritable, "edgy" or restless.
Indications: anxiety
It is indicated for the management of anxiety disorders or the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety.
Indications: Short term management of anxiety disorders and the relief of symptoms of anxiety with or without accompanying depression.

Collection care, which is sometimes called preventive conservation, involves any actions taken to prevent or delay the deterioration of cultural heritage. The primary goal is to identify and reduce potential hazards to heritage with thoughtful control of their surroundings. The professions most influenced by collections care include conservator-restorers, curators, collection managers, and registrars.
Cultural heritage face threats from a variety of sources on a daily basis, from thieves, vandals, and pests; to pollution, humidity, and temperature; to natural emergencies and physical forces; to all kinds of light. Effects stemming from these issues can be treated and sometimes reversed with interventive conservation after the damage has occurred. However, many of the sources of danger mentioned above are controllable, and others are at least predictable. Collections care strives to mitigate the occurrence of damage and deterioration through research and the implementation of procedures which enhance the safety of cultural heritage objects and collections. The areas of particular concern with regard to the sources of damage include: environmental conditions, object handling, integrated pest management, emergency preparedness, and records management.
The CCN is currently focusing on establishing working relationships with other organizations involved in collection care. We have established liaisons with a growing number of allied organizations. These organizations are excellent collection care resources.
Organizations with official CCN liaisons:
If your collection care organization is not listed here please contact the CCN's Communication and Outreach Chair, Gretchen Guidess.
AIC's Collection Care Network (CCN) was created in recognition of "the critical importance of preventive conservation as the most effective means of promoting the long-term preservation of cultural property" (from Guidelines for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works, #20) and to support the growing number of conservators and collection care professionals with strong preventive responsibilities and interests. The CCN has and is working on a number of projects that will support the practice of collection care.

"How, When, & Why Should the People Speak? Rethinking Public Engagement in an Era of Health Reform"
Ariane Gelpi, PhD, MPH, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
In recent years, the role of the public—including patients, advocates and families—in shaping health reform has become increasingly important at all levels. Yet questions, both ethical and practical, remain about how best to involve the public. Drawing on international examples, Dr. Gelpi will examine the strengths and weaknesses of three prominent approaches to public engagement and draw lessons for how to improve such participation.
Adriane Gelpi, PhD, MPH is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Network Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University. She received her PhD in Health Policy and Ethics from Harvard University and her MPH from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.

"Treatment Choice for Children with Cancer: Integrating the Concept of Family Healing"
Amy Caruso Brown, MD, MSc, University of Colorado Denver
Many medical anthropologists approach healing as a family- and community-oriented process, in which physical cure is not the only or even the primary goal. Western physicians and other biomedical practitioners often struggle with supporting and guiding families of children with cancer when the prognosis becomes terminal. Through a novel model of treatment choice and sample cases, Dr. Caruso Brown will explore whether families and providers alike can benefit from restructuring their viewpoints to align more closely with traditional healing practices by acknowledging the family as a psychosocial whole.
Amy Caruso Brown, MD, is a Fellow in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the University of Colorado Denver (Anschutz Medical Campus). She received her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine and Master of Science in Medical Anthropology from the University of Oxford.

Stress Management for Children (and parents!)
Emma from 95 Acres of Sky is with us today sharing some helpful tips for parents on how we can help our children through some of life's toughest moments (meltdowns).
Life can be tricky sometimes can't it? A friend treats you badly, you aren't picked to participate in a really great project, a dreamed of outcome doesn't come to fruition and the future looks pretty bleak. Add to this feeling powerless, buffeted by the winds of life and it's a recipe for a very bad day.
Oh, and of course you're only six years old.
It's amazing how the problems of a child mimic the difficulties we have ourselves as adults isn't it? Yet the worries and anxieties of children are often dismissed or overlooked as bad behavior or tantrums. The feelings of children, though, are no less powerful than our own, even more so if you consider the lack of over view and perspective, something many of us only just begin to grasp as fully mature adults.
Stress is part of the human condition but it is important to recognize, and support, our children when they are going through stressful times. The more tools we can have in our parenting toolbox, the more likely we are to be able to navigate the choppy waters of childhood and adolescence with some grace and sanity remaining.
For this first post on the subject of childhood stress I thought I'd head straight for the heart and look at how to deal with a meltdown. This is often the moment when a child's anxiety or stress becomes extremely visible but, like an iceberg, it is really only the visible tip.
My eldest son follows me in his temperament and has taught me a great deal about how to (and how not to) handle a meltdown. So if you find yourself with a child who is unable to cope, here are some ideas to help you and them through it.
- Stay calm. It sounds easy right? But really it is the toughest thing to do. It is crucial, though, that when a child is melting down that we don't give in to the temptation to join them. Be a strong foundation for your child and try to view their behavior with as much compassion as you can. Be near by, don't allow them to hurt you or themselves, but let the storm run it's course and be ready to catch them when it burns out.For you that might mean sitting nearby and only interjecting with gentle comments such as 'you seem pretty angry right now' or 'it's okay, I'm here' or it might mean withdrawing to the next room and giving your child the privacy they need to release their feelings. The main thing is to be a calm presence ready to hold and forgive when it's over and the recovery time begins.
- Rescue your child. When strong emotions overtake us we feel extremely vulnerable and exposed afterwards. An outburst or melt down is an obvious sign but there will always be more to it. With a younger child this could be tiredness or a change of routine, an older child might be reacting to more complex emotions and relationships. Right after an outburst is not necessarily the time to discuss it, allow some recovery time. I adore the healing power of Rescue Remedy, a tincture that works on healing the emotions and has been blended to work in times of shock or grief. It is now available in handy sprays and pastilles, all of which work beautifully in an emergency. I like to add the drops to a glass of water that can be sipped at when I'm having 'one of those days'. Both of my son's appreciate the ritual of providing them with 'medicine' when they've had a physical or emotional bruising.
- TLC. It can help to treat a meltdown in the same way that one might treat a bout of illness or a fever, a bit of extra care and attention can often be the best medicine. I think a loving parent can usually tell the difference between a child who is emotionally exhausted and one who is simply 'acting out', use your judgment but don't be afraid to offer support and comfort to a child who is having a tough time.
- Breathe. For both parent and child there is nothing more important than taking deep breathes in a stressful moment. I will talk more deeply about this in the future (it is a topic all on it's own!) but a quick 'rescue' technique is to ask your child to 'blow away' the thing that is upsetting them with big puffing out breaths. The deeper and slower the breath, the more the nervous system will begin to calm. This might help at the beginning of a stress induced outburst or it might be a part of the recovery period, but learning to breathe calmly is an important skill.
- Treat your child with compassion. I'm not saying we should 'play up' to poor behavior, but it is our job as a parent to look beyond the immediate and try to see the underlying cause of behavior. Whatever changes you may decide to make it is worth waiting a day to share them with your child. The most important thing you can do is just be a supportive presence; extra hugs and cuddles, a story cuddled up together on the sofa. Let them know that you still approve of them and that it is okay to have strong feelings. Listen if they are ready to talk, be patient if they are not.
If we can learn to see a meltdown as a cry for help rather than simply 'bad' behavior, I think we can learn to manage things very differently. The way we handle these very intense situations can be the foundation for our child's feelings about themselves in lots of different ways. The more we can model compassion and forgiveness, the more they are likely to find those things in their own hearts.

I wish I had read this post this past August when my five year old became my student. It was such a stressful year for us both and after reading your post, I realize I didn't handle his meltdowns appropriately and probably made them worse. Crazy thing is, I use some of these strategies when dealing with my students meltdowns but seemed at a loss with my own child. Seth is going into first grade in August but his meltdowns still occur. I'm definitely using what I learned here. Great post. Can't wait to explore this site further.

Experiencing the Work
"Deborah Brodie rocks!
I love her sense of story and the chances she is willing to take with authors."
After 22 years at Viking and six as co-founder of Roaring Brook Press, Deborah Brodie is now a freelance editor, book doctor, and writing coach for publishers, literary agents and individuals. Visiting Faculty and Thesis Advisor in the MFA program at the New School in New York City, she is also an MFA Mentor for Simmons College in Boston.
The help of an experienced manuscript doctor can sometimes make enough difference to inspire a publisher to acquire the project. Or convince an agent to take on the writer as a client or, if the writer is already a client, agree that the manuscript is now ready to submit to publishers.
Deborah approaches manuscript doctoring as a one-on-one tutorial about writing and publishing. She edits the same genres, age groups, and subject matter as she did during the thirty years she worked on-staff in publishing houses. Her interests range from deceptively simple picture books and humorous middle grade novels to coming-of-age teen fiction. About one-third of her work is fiction and nonfiction for adults, with a specialty in proposals for nonfiction projects.
As the editor of The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, Deborah experienced the joys of working with a mega-bestselling author who, despite his fame, was open to suggestions. Although her specialty is books for young readers, she has also edited bestselling fiction and nonfiction for adults. As a manuscript doctor, recent projects include a memoir by award-winning columnist Angela Himsel of growing up in a cult and converting to Judaism as an adult, a successful businesswoman's philosophy, and a behind-the-scenes look at the back-of-the-house staff of an upscale restaurant.
"Deborah Brodie knows the book business inside out. She also knows how to x-ray a manuscript, study its bones, and with her keen knowledge of structure she can help a struggling author get the book that's hidden inside … out!"
Deborah works with the author to strengthen a manuscript by cutting didactic passages, refining language, and exploring characters. She believes it comes down to trusting the reader enough not to spell out every detail — and to be willing to revise, revise, revise.
Deborah sees her main responsibility as asking questions — the right questions — that lead the author to new insights and practical new approaches to plot, characterization, pace. She often suggests writing exercises to shake things up and help move the author in a more productive direction.
Deborah's fees are commensurate with her more than thirty years' experience as a working editor and creative writing teacher. The most extensive work involves detailed notes throughout the text, plus a multipage editorial letter highlighting the strong points and giving specific suggestions for revising parts that need strengthening. And she always provides an opportunity for back-and-forth about writing and publishing.
The goal is to build on the writer's strengths, create tools to use on the next book, and help the writer reach for the next rung of the career ladder.
