Need help with Panel Room
January 27, 2013 in Design Dilemma
My room and I need help! . Room is 12x24, knotty pine paneling on all walls & ceiling, 6 windows, one radiator, one fireplace, one opening (1941 home). My ideas are: (1) tile fireplace (install glass 'stick' dark brown tile), (2) add a thick wood (L shape) mantel, (3 )install shallow shelf (v. chair rail) on 2 walls on the same 'line' as the window sill (apron), (4) remove top paneling (above window sills (apron)), seal brick wall (waterproof), insulate and add drywall, paneling on lower half of wall would remain. One wall (opening side) and ceiling would not be painted or removed. Not sure if these changes would make the room look choppy. The room is on the NW side, hence the reason for insulation and wiring needs an upgrade. Since insulation is necessary was thinking of reinstalling the knotty pine boards horizontally v. vertical (current position). Was also thinking of getting rid of the pellet stove and installing a non-vented gas fireplace. The radiator is undersized requiring another heating source and the windows will have grass cloth roman blinds. Comments and ideas are welcomed! House is located in Washington Dc area so updating is required! Havng computer problems hope this messag isn't posted twice!
You want to put self stick tile ON the bricks? Or am I reading that wrong?

a drywall would give your room a wider appearance. Personally white is too eye catching and clinical. Grasscloth blinds would be nice.

I think the fireplace would be niced positioned between both windows where the t.v. is. All about balance

Curacaoblue - No self stick tile. Glass tile, stick pattern (thin strips)

Nicole - good idea; however can't move the fireplace - pellet stove is inserted in the wood burning fp. It's a crazy room which almost needs to be subdivided.

New Toys R Us Dalek Exclusives
Toys R Us are going Dalek crazy for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary with their impending release of a Doctor Who action figure collection.
Each Doctor will be paired with a Dalek relevant to his era so that you can really make your collection stand out and there are some interesting choices along the way! The collection in full is:
- First Doctor with Dalek from The Dead Planet (i.e The Daleks.)
- Second Doctor with Guard Dalek from The Evil of the Daleks
- Third Doctor with Dalek from Planet of the Daleks
- Fourth Doctor with Dalek from Destiny of the Daleks
- Fifth Doctor with Dalek from Resurrection of the Daleks
- Sixth Doctor with Dalek from Revelation of the Daleks
- Seventh Doctor with Renegade Dalek from Remembrance of the Daleks
- Eighth Doctor with Dalek Alpha from Children of the Revolution
- Ninth Doctor with Imperial Guard Dalek from The Parting of the Ways
- Tenth Doctor with Crucible Dalek from Journey's End
- Eleventh Doctor with Blue Strategist Dalek from Asylum of the Daleks
Perhaps the most exciting choice on this menu is the Eighth Doctor offering which canonises the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip as official once and for all!
Which set will you buy and which will you skip?
Each Doctor Who Dalek Twin Pack is priced £19.99, available from Toys R Us.
(Thanks to The Doctor Who Site.)

The First Doctor set will not come with a Dalek from the Dead Planet but the Supreme Dalek from the Chase/Daleks Master Plan.
I forgot to add it was a mistake by TRU. The Third Doctor set is to come with a Dalek from Planet of the Daleks, which is different than any other. Intriguing.
The First and Eighth Doctor sets are definitely on my list. Finally, the Eighth Doctor getting some props from Character Options. The lack of Eighth Doctor variants and sets is shameful………
shame its only toys r us uk
Toys R Us in U.S.of A. hardly ever has any Doctor Who items, and then only 1 or 2 figures in their dozens.
These sets appear to be mostly re-issues of other figures from other sets. I'd buy if they were appreciably different from prior releases.
I wonder if they'll ever make an 8th Doctor with his outfit from the Big Finish audio Dark Eyes.

Now that we know the Sacramento Kings new ownership group will be keeping the franchise in Sacramento, the team can turn their attention to finding a new head coach. One of the names who is at the top of the Kings wishlist is Golden State Warriors assistant coach Mike Malone, who is one of the top assistants in the league. The Kings primary owner reportedly is very found of Malone and wants him to come in and run the show.
Per Ric Bucher of CSNBayArea.com:
Warriors owner Joe Lacob used what he learned as a Celtics' minority partner to shape his new team. Vivek Ranadive, former Warriors minority owner and now presumptive Kings primary owner, apparently is doing the same, beginning with putting Warriors assistant coach Mike Malone on his list of candidates to be the Kings' next head coach, a source said.
Malone will be at the top of the list for a number of NBA teams, so Sacramento will not be his only option.
One team that is expected to be interested is the Los Angeles Clippers, because Chris Paul has a relationship with Malone from their time together in New Orleans.
It will be interesting to see where Malone lands next season, but it seems certain that he will have a new gig.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
So after the initial party in my head about this change I decided to work up my own build.
That's when I realized I really am not sure how to mess with a frost pve spec. I pulled out this thing here: http://ptr.wowhead.com/?talent#of0q0u0fZZVIfcosu0fzgbkt:RiGozc
This works on a couple big assumptions:
Ice Lance wont be seeing the pve rotation
Points in regen talents will allow you to use molten armor during boss fights and still stay firing for most of (if not all) the time is more dps than instant, free fireballs
That means no Spell impact and no frozen core. This gives and spirit and arc med talents which I'm a fan of b/c of my current arc spec roots.
So, questions:
Why in the world did you take imp blizz or frost bite?
Yeah, I'm taking the generally reviled Spirit and arc med talents, but I don't see any other dmg increasing talents to take for frost, so next best thing is to keep shooting, am I missing something?
And as far as standard spell rotation: FB FB FB FB (FoF proc) DF FB FB FB FB FB (and throw in some IV here and there). Is that it? Really? Sorry but if that is then I'm sticking with arc for now. At least I get to see a machine gun that way.

Studying abroad is a time of self-exploration and experiences. It can also be a huge break from what's familiar. Below are 10 apps, websites and other online tools to help you stay in touch with family and friends, make travel plans while abroad and reflect on your journey when you return home.
1. WhatsApp
This app allows you to text/message others with the app for no cost. All you need is a connection to the Internet in order to send or receive messages, which is great if you don't want to spend money for international texting capabilities. You can also send photos or videos through the app, share a contact or even share your location. My favorite feature is the audio note, which allows you to record and send a voice message.
2. Viber
WhatsApp's telephone counterpart, Viber allows you to make free calls to anyone who also has the app on his or her phone. This app is nice for when you need to talk to someone quickly without access to Skype. Like WhatsApp, you simply need Internet access to operate Viber.
Tip: Download the app before you go abroad. In order to register, the app sends an access code to your phone number, and if you don't have service in your study-abroad country, you will never receive the text. Save yourself the hassle and download before you leave.
3. Skyscanner
Skyscanner is a free flight-comparison website. You can also look at hotels and car rentals. Prices are checked daily and you can even sign up for a price alert emails if you want a more constant source of information. The site allows you to compare not only prices but also times or airlines to get a comprehensive overview of flights without doing extra research.
This app is a lifesaver when it comes to doing multiple conversions. Through the app, you can convert almost any type of unit including currency, temperature, weight, volume, speed, pressure, length, mass, area and many more. The exchange rates are refreshed automatically every six hours for over 167 countries. The app also has a built-in standard calculator and a tip calculator.
5. Touchnote
While there's definitely a place for special handwritten postcards, Touchnote is awesome for sending out postcards or greeting cards to a lot of people very quickly. You can upload your own pictures (maybe even one with you in it), write a message and fill in the address information. It ships automatically from the site. There's no hassle in buying stamps and finding a post office, and friends and family will love seeing a picture you've taken on a postcard.
6. Hostelworld
Hostelworld is the place to look if you are interested in doing any type of traveling while abroad. Each hostel is given an overall approval rating and also a breakdown in terms of character, security, location, staff, atmosphere and cleanliness. You can read recent reviews of past guests as well. The website requires a 10% deposit and the rest is paid upon arrival. The site also has reviews of local tours and attractions, in addition to travel videos, podcasts and pocket guides to various cities.
Bonus: Groups with more than nine people that book together receive a discounted rate.
Sandeman's offers free walking tours of London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Prague, Paris, Madrid, Jerusalem and Copenhagen. These tours are a great, free way to see the best parts of the city with a very knowledgeable guide available alongside. Reservations are required and can be booked online. It's generally expected that you tip your guide because the tour is free of charge.
8. WordPress
If you are planning on keeping a blog for family and friends back at home, WordPress is a great option. You can easily set up a feature to allow users to sign up to follow your updates by email. Posting pictures is a breeze and commenting is easy to figure out, especially for parents and grandparents. Statistics are also available to let you know how many visitors your blog receives, what links are being clicked on and the posts that are most popular.
Life in Seconds is an interesting concept that allows you to record one second of video each day. Depending on how long you are studying abroad, you can them play back these clips in a two- to six-minute montage of highlights from your trip. The day-by-day clips remind you of all the fun experiences and moments you had throughout your time abroad and the compilation can easily be shared and uploaded to Facebook or Twitter.
10. JetLag Genie
This app can save you hours of discomfort and exhaustion. Enter your flight information and personal sleep preferences, and the app creates a plan for you to follow in terms of altering your sleep patterns, exposing yourself to sunlight or taking melatonin pills.

I have a few things to say about your writings. You are criticizing a journalist for misrepresenting official physics party line but you are spreading misinformation of much more serious nature because you are misusing your professional authority by lying to your readers.
As an example consider what you wrote about Higgs in this lecture of yours. In the slide called Quanta you draw wave packets and call these "ripples in a quantum field".
It turns out that this is a lie.
You fooled me into believing that these were indeed waves in a field or ripples of the field. Now I understand what you have been hiding, but I still do not understand your real agenda for lying about this issue.
What is the deception here? No where in the slide you mention that those waves are not ripples in the field but they are probability waves. This is misinformation intended to deceive readers.
I know your usual excuse, that you simplified because your readers are too unfamiliar with the fads of mathematicism used by physicists to understand the physics interpretation that only physicists can understand and that you simplified a complex problem for pedagogical reasons.
This cannot be a pedagogical simplification
If you are hiding the fact that your waves are probability waves and if you are presenting probability waves as physical ripples in the field, this is serious deception.
Your professional ancestors did the same with crystalline spheres. They endowed a mathematical abstraction with physical properties. You are ascribing physical properties to a mathematical abstraction. This is also called cargo cult physics.
Do you have a good explanation for selling probability waves as physical waves (other than your usual refrain, which goes something like "take it or leave it, I am a professor of physics and I am always right…")?

Personal Information
Started doing more and more raw food, esp. greens and green smoothies several months ago, after reading Greens for Life by Victoria Boutenko. Since then, I have seen 2 moles drop off my back (a friend actually happened to witness them coming off. Maybe others have dropped off without me being aware of it.)
Since going more raw (about 70% i guess) I have more energy, need less sleep, and generally feel better.
other stuff: I teach InterPlay, a system of improvisation with story, song, movement, love to tap dance and perform improvisationally, and am a student of the Work of Byron Katie (in the certification program).

Happy 1 Year Anniversary The Positive Pear
It was one year ago today that I launched The Positive Pear and I'm happy that I did. I remember being excited about the opportunity to offer my knowledge and experience in the form of a blog, to help fellow sufferers who also lived with Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyaglia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After all, I'd worked with healthy people in the Health, Wellness & Fitness Industries for many years, so helping people in this manner had always been easy. I naturally assumed that my online experience would be similar and the information that I provided would be welcomed as it had been with my clients. However this was not always the case. Though there were many who appreciated my efforts and expressed their gratitude for the information that I provided, there were a few, who forced me to question at times if I'd made the right decision. Surprisingly these individuals we're not the people who were searching for the information that I was providing, instead this small group consisted of people who had established themselves as "leaders" in this community of ailing people. Working hard at making this effort as challenging for me as possible, by resorting to harassing, bullying and competitive types of behavior which surprisingly still exists on a small-scale. When the negativity continued to trickle in I began to rethink whether or not it it made sense to return to solely focusing on my Health, Wellness & Fitness clients. However the emails, comments and private messages began to pour in from many fellow sufferers explaining how the information that I provided through this blog helped them in some way, changed their lives or made them happy that they weren't alone in taking a natural approach to managing their disease or conditions and I knew at that point that if I persevered that eventually the good would far outweigh the bad and you know what? It has, as it would because I didn't quit. I was around to enjoy the rewards.
I've never spoken publicly at any point during any negative experiences. Though I have channeled some of that negativity through positive posts and encouragement for others, so why speak of it now? It's all apart of completely letting go, and continuing to move forward as I end this year and close this chapter. It helps to understand that "When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending." ~Thich Nhat Hanh~ Having a forgiving heart is without question incredibly powerful and a necessary tool in life, because we are all imperfect beings who frequently make mistakes. As much as I'm a realist, I am resilient and an eternal optimist, so I've spent my share of time in the kitchen making lemonade out life's proverbial lemons. Overcoming adversity is simply apart of life as "Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart." ~Myla Kabat-Zinn~ & Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. ~Napoleon Hill~ A year later if there was one word that I could use to describe what I've gained from all of my experiences, I would have to go with "gratitude" and not just the feeling of gratefulness that one tends to feel around Thanksgiving, but truly operating from a place of gratitude in every thought and deed. I am grateful for all of my experiences in life, both good and bad, and I'm grateful that I've chosen to focus on the good in my life. Truly appreciating what has worked, rather than what hasn't and rather than focus on anything which might be lacking in my life, I choose to focus on how I've been blessed with an abundance, a home, food, clothing, the ability to care for myself naturally & holistically and to have a platform to share this with others who are receptive. I'm grateful for great friends including many beautiful, peaceful people who have been in my life for many years and others whom I've met since launching The Positive Pear. My beautiful family and an incredible support system and this gratitude is reflected throughout the many posts on this blog. I hope that my example has and will continue to inspire others to keep moving forward with strength, dignity and of course gratitude, in spite of whatever might come their way. ("Be Positive & Surround Yourself with Positive People") The purpose of this blog has been to educate people, while empowering them to take a holistic approach to managing their health, instead of relying solely on doctors and medication. Each post has been apart of The Positive Pear's "whole body" approach to a healthy lifestyle, which is divided into four major categories: Positive Mental Attitude, Healthy Nutrition: with an emphasis on "Healing Foods," Exercise & Symptom Management: through Alternative Therapies & Natural Supplements. It's exciting to know that the goals I set forth when launching this blog have been achieved and I know this by the positive feedback from many who use this blog as a resource and by their continued support.
Thank you for your continued support: It's Sunday November 11, 2012 and this blog has several hundred followers along with over 1500 Facebook Fans, 800 Twitter followers and hundreds of other friends in other areas of the web. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the past year and for your continued support moving forward. I'd like to especially thank you for every like, comment, re-tweet, mention, +K, Google+, shared post, email referral and the many award nominations. Though it's been my goal to encourage you through knowledge and positive messages your support has both encouraged and motivated me and I'm eternally grateful and appreciative. Thank you! Here's to another year of The Positive Pear with great additions and exciting changes moving forward.

Happy Mother's Day
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem…
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough-
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong-

In recognition of the economic, political and social achievements of women worldwide.
Love Is…..
On a day where there is such a focus on love, please remember:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ~I Corinthians 13:4-8a~
Love Never Fails!
Happy Australia Day!

17 Advanced Methods for Promoting Your New Piece of Content
What is it about Ballina?
With Burns Point, a current film in production written by local Chris Blackburn, and PJ Hogan ("Muriel's Wedding"), filming the feature "Mental" in Ballina in 2012, not to mention a slew of other film and TV productions in the region recently, you could be forgiven if locals started referring to the town as "Balliwood".
And why not? After all, there's only so much Big…
Burns Point, a film written by Chris Blackburn and directed by Tim Blackburn has been filming in the Northern Rivers since March 2014.
A crime drama directed by Tim Blackburn, the film is his feature film directorial debut. Tim has directed several successful short films, most notably Monobrow – a finalist in the Australian 2013 Tropfest short film festival (aka The Largest Short Film Festival in the World).
He followed this by writing and directing Wet Dreams, a finalist in the 2013 Tropfest New York Festival. Both films have had success in other festivals around the world.
Burns Point follows Jeremy, a young man whose sister has been brutally murdered. Jeremy expects the law to deliver justice, but the killer's father is a high-profile detective who isn't about to see his son jailed for life.
After a suspiciously botched police case the son is acquitted and can never be retried. Refusing to allow his sister's death to go unpunished, Jeremy seeks vengence.
Burns Point was written by Chris Blackburn, who has worked as a writer and producer for the last thirty five years. His career started as a cadet journalist at The Australian newspaper before moving onto onair television reporting with Channels Nine and Seven.
Chris's career highlights include high profile television shows including Sixty Minutes, Big Brother, My Kitchen Rules, Temptation Island, Wife Swap, Beauty and The Geek.
Chris lives with his wife at Empire Vale, south of Ballina, the inspiration for the setting of Burns Point. "It's a great rural setting. Canefields, rivers, mountains, rainforests and deserted beaches that go on for ever," said Chris Blackburn.
Chris Blackburn is the father of director Tim Blackburn. "Working on this film with my father is definitely a unique experience. Sometimes I wonder, why the hell am I making a film with my Dad?! But for the most part we're on the same page with our ideas and visions and it's been a great way to reconnect," says Tim.
Tim has returned to Australia for the film from Toronto, Canada where he currently lives and works as a Television Editor. "I'm just so excited to be back in Australia and working on such a big project, with so many talented people," he said.
The cast and crew were announced via the film's social media networks. "We are putting an emphasis on social media for Burns Point, because we want the community to be involved and get excited.
It's not often we get to see a film being made in the Northern Rivers," said Chris Blackburn. The last feature to be filmed in the area was PJ Hogan's Mental (2012).

While hacking in computer data, Ax stumbled upon a Yeerk program... or is it? Code Lyoko/ Animorphs crossover.
Chapter one
"Okay, so you hacked into some French nerd's computer... why?" Marco asked.
>I was merely trying to search for a possible yeerk connection to anything out of the country. I did not mean to search directly into his computer,> Ax clarified. >I would not call that hacking.>
"Eh, call it what you want."
"What is it you found, Ax?" Jake asked.
>There is an intricate computer network of a higher level than that of human intelligence could create. I am most certain that the Yeerks created it. It seemed to be some sort of virtual reality.>
>Humans have VR, Ax,> Tobias pointed out.
>Ah. But, it did seem 'high-tech,' as you humans would put it, enough to be of some interest. Even to the point that the Yeerks would have created or stolen it,> Ax explained.
"So, what you're suggesting is that we fly to France, hope French class paid off, and find this program? Or the programmer?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
>It seems logical to do so.>
"If there's a possible connection to the Yeerks..."
"Why are we jumping into this without more information?" Marco asked. "What exactly did you find?"
>I discovered a computer network that allows living creatures to be virtualized into this computer; for what purpose, I do not know.>
"Maybe... Maybe we should check it out. No way humans could do that," Cassie pointed out.
"Alright, how about a vote?" Jake asked.
"I thought it was impossible to hack your computer, Jeremie," Odd said, taken aback by the news.
"Odd has a point. You've got a better firewall than the government's," Ulrich agreed.
"Actually," Jeremie said, working on his laptop, "I don't think they were tapping my computer directly. I think they were hacking into-"
"The factory?" I asked.
"Precisely, Yumi. The supercomputer there is connected to my computer, and I just got the news from Aelita. She thinks it might be a XANA attack, considering she was the one who discovered it."
Speaking of Aelita, she appeared on the laptop's screen. "Any news, Jeremie?"
"Aelita, do you know where the hacker originated?" Jeremie asked her.
"I can't quite trace it, and even if I could, I wouldn't know where they come from. I barely know anything about your world," Aelita responded.
"We don't think it's Jeremie's computer that was hacked into," I explained. "We think it might have been the supercomputer in the factory."
"That's perfectly possible. It would explain why I noticed it."
"But do you think you could try to find an estimated point of origin?" Jeremie asked.
"I'll do my best. There haven't been any pulsations, by the way."
"Thanks, Aelita." The connection closed.
"Maybe XANA was trying to hack into the super computer. He could be trying to stop you from finding the devirtualization program," Odd suggested.
"Sure, Odd. XANA's trying to hack into himself. Right," Ulrich said. "Think realistically."
"It was just a suggestion," Odd pouted.
"Maybe it's connected to those exchange students from America that are coming," I mentioned.
"Exchange students?" The other three said in unison.
"They're coming for their French class. Apparently they needed extra credit."
"And how do you know this?" Ulrich asked.
"The geography teacher told me after class. She said I could help them out," I explained.
"How many kids are coming?" Odd inquired.
"She mentioned five names, but I think there are six. Jacob, Cassandra, Rachel, Marcus, and Tobias," I said, remembering their names.
"What makes you think there are six?" Jeremie said.
"I don't know, it just seemed as if there were an even number because she said something about them fitting equally into the dorms," I shrugged.
"Hey, I have my own dorm," Jeremie pointed out.
"That's because you requested it. I doubt they have enough dorms to give exchange students their own."
"She has a point, you know," Odd said.
"Maybe we should check them out. When do they get here?" Jeremie asked.
"Sometime next week."
"Got that right."

I read Mr. Scott's review before going to see LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE this evening. The review confused me, and left me not knowing what to expect. Now, I realize how difficult it is to write about this one without spoiling. Suffice it to say that this is a very significant and excellent film, fully deserving Mr. Scott's forebearance. (It has an all-too-American ending, by then way.)

I see now that I have finally caught up with one of his films why lovers of pure cinema love Kiarostami. The first scene in the nightclub was original and intriguing, and the film, where nothing especially happened until the final scene, was continually fascinating as, like life, you tried to figure out what was really going on with these people. A fascinating film...

Kiarostami's use of continuous ambient sound not only supplies context but is another character in the movie. I can think of no other Director who uses sound the way he does.

I was luck enough to see this gem at the NY Film Festival and from the opening shot I was mesmerized. Having recently discovered Kiarostami through the wonderful and beguiling CERTIFIED COPY and having since gobbled up the retrospective running at Lincoln Center he is for me one of the true masters of world cinema. The opening scene in the bar is one of the greatest pieces of cinema in recent memory and as a movie goer you have no idea where he is taking you but the journey is pure cinematic pleasure. My favorite movie so far this year (and that includes most of the Oscar-nominees).

"A weekend isn't long enough"
"A weekend isn't long enough" for a stay in this incredible, comfortable home, conveniently located to the sweet town of Frankfort and the beautiful Lake Michigan. The property is well equipped with all you need to have a true relaxing vacation. Having separate rooms provided a great option for everyone to have a little alone time, while the great rooms provide a great spot to congregate for meals, sitting on the front porch or playing card games. The host is very nice and was informative on how to work everything and what to do if we needed anything additional. The reservation process was seamless, it was easy to pick up the keys and access the property. The property is very well kept. The bedding and bathrooms were spotless and comfortable. There is a washer and dryer and a fully stocked kitchen.
The Perfect Cozy Cottage
The Beach House was the perfect cozy cottage for my young son and me. We wanted to be in town to enjoy the amenities of small town living - and the proximity to new friends - and the Beach House met all our needs. Wil and Beth were very gracious and responsive hosts. We would love to rent from them again!
Great location, good amenities, on its way up
We stayed in the Lakeview Suite for three nights. We had two adults, a five year old and a baby. Some of the decor has been updated from the pictures shown. Location: Excellent. 1 block to beautiful beach, go the other way for shopping and restaurants. Can even walk to grocery store (>1mile) if needed. Tiny view of lake Betsy though the windows, best view is from the toilet - not kidding. Space: good space for two adults plus pack-n-play (provided by Serendipity house) in the bedroom, especially if you block off the internal entry door and just use the external door as we did. May not be so pleasant in the winter. Living space had a sleeper sofa, but it takes up all available room so we used a small inflatable bed (we brought our own) for our 5yo and then propped it in the corner so we had living space during the day. Bathroom is ample, though shower is small. Amenities: Kitchenette had all appliance, pots, pans, etc. Including dish soap. Need to bring your own salt pepper and other condiments. Bathroom had plenty of towels though some were slightly stained (not gross - just showing wear). No shampoo or shower soaps provided. Enough space and hooks for storage of clothing, gear, and food supplies. Clothesline in back for drying suits was very helpful. We didn't use the picnic table, backyard chairs, or fire pit, but they were all there. "Grill" is a tiny webber charcoal camp grill. Will do the trick if you're desperate, but too fussy for our needs. Peaceful backyard setting with just other home noise, not business noise. Nice front porch to people watch or read. Beach chairs provided in the bedroom. Owner appeared to be working in grounds and doing other maintenance while we were there - I took that as a good sign. Good service interactions. Cleanliness: Average. This is the one that will keep me from letting my mom stay here. Carpets were worn and had stains and there were stains on the couch. We found earrings in the floor when we arrived which made me question the vacuum job. Linens were clean, but bedcover did not appear to be made of a washable material. Perhaps they switch them out and get them laundered - otherwise... Dust on pictures and flat surfaces, sand in drawers. Looks like they weren't wiped out between guests. Kitchen was clean as was the bathroom. Honestly, I think it just might be too much for one housekeeper to handle during peak season. Nothing gross - just not as nice as it could have been. We had a great time.

Mo Trafeh picked up his eighth national title on Saturday, June 22, winning the 2013 USA Half-Marathon Championships in Duluth, MN. The 28-year-old stuck to a strategy of going out hard and then pulling back before a final kick, the StarTribune reports. Trafeh set a new course record of 1:01:17 and earned $13,500 in prize money.
Trafeh, who was also the U.S. half-marathon champion in 2011, edged out Meb Keflezighi, who finished in 1:01:22. The 38-year-old three-time Olympian took the lead with roughly two miles to go, but as Trafeh said after the event, that was in keeping with his plan.
"I gave [Keflezighi] some confidence when I moved behind him," said Trafeh. "But that was part of my strategy, to get behind him so I can relax and get ready for my kick."
Third place went to Shadrack Biwott, who completed the 13.1-mile course in 1:02:24.
Adriana Nelson's victory in the women's race had little in common with Trafeh's. At one point, the 33-year-old had a 45-second lead over 2012 Olympian Desiree Davila, who then closed the gap to a mere five seconds, but Nelson held on to win in 1:11:19. Davila, 29, crossed the finish line seven seconds later.
"If you can catch [the leader]…and be assertive and go by with some authority, you can change the whole dynamic of the race," Davila said, according to the Duluth News Tribune. "But you have to get there."
"I started pushing harder," said Nelson, describing her response to Davila's approach. "I told myself, 'Now, it's time to run.'"
Rounding out the top three was Kelly Brinkman, who finished in 1:11:33.
Nelson, a former member of the Romanian national team who moved to the United States in 2011, earned $12,000. She may have the running gods to thank for her victory, as Saturday's damp, foggy conditions and mid-40s temps felt more than a little familiar.
"I was born and raised in this kind of weather," she said.

CCAA SAAC to Sponsor Second Annual Canned Food Drive in February
WALNUT CREEK – The California Collegiate Athletic
Association (CCAA) Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will
sponsor the second annual canned food drives at all 12 member
institutions during the month of February.
Each institution's SAAC will be holding a canned food drive to support a food bank in its campus city. The SAAC is encouraging members of each college community to bring canned goods to a designated drop-off point on campus.
"The purpose of the CCAA Canned Food Drive is to both collect canned goods and raise awareness to the prevalence of hunger in our communities," CCAA Commissioner Robert J. Hiegert said. "With that in mind, each SAAC will become informed about hunger in its community, and conducting awareness-raising events is in integral component."
During the academic year, each campus SAAC works to support community and campus programs and projects. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen Foundation are among the national charitable organizations SAAC has partnered with.
"The CCAA and its membership continue to be impressed by the vision, leadership, and community service shown by the SAAC on each campus," Hiegert said. " These student-athletes work hard to support their communities and to be productive and caring community members. It is a tremendous group of which we are very proud."
The following is schedule of when each campus will hold its canned food drive:
February 5-12: Cal State East Bay, Cal State Monterey Bay, Cal State San Bernardino,
February 13-19: Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Cal State L.A., UC San Diego
February 16-23: San Francisco State
February 20-26: Cal State Stanislaus, Chico State, Humboldt State, Sonoma State

Can I Recycle Old Kitchen Cookware and Tools?
Good Questions
Q: In honor of Earth Day, I was wondering if you could suggest an earth-friendly way to get rid of exhausted kitchen gear. It's time to get rid of my melted spatula and scratched-up omelet pan but would hate for them to go to a landfill if they can be recycled. Any suggestions?

If the cookware is still in usable, though not ideal, condition, consider donating it to Goodwill or a local shelter. If they are too far gone for that, then you most likely can recycle them. Plastic items will be easier to find a recycling source for, but non-stick pans can also be recycled, just with more difficulty. Where I live, they have terrible recycling programs, but you may live somewhere that can simply accept your teflon-coated items. Here is a link that may be helpful: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/home-garden/recycle-teflon-cookware.html
I've got a couple old Teflon pots I was thinking of using as planters (They are red on the outside so they are kinda pretty). Wondering if anyone knew if the chemicals might kill my plants.
@Rolen the great - if you were cooking and eating out of them, I wager your plants will do fine. What might kill them is not having holes in the bottom to drain water.
I received a boat-load of old, uncoated/untreated aluminum pans and sent most of them to the recycling bin.
You need to check your local recycling guidelines. Here in NYC plastic cookware and utensils CANNOT be put in your recycling bin. Metal pots and pans, however CAN.

EVE Online TV series and Dark Horse comic to be based on players' true stories

Players have committed murder, espionage, treason, theft, and fraud, and fleet after fleet of internet spaceships have been spectacularly blown to bits in massive wars. EVE's story is written by player actions, and is now literally being written by players on EVE's True Stories submission site, which CCP announced today will be used for a Dark Horse comic book and eventual TV series to be directed by Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur.

Today is a holy day.
Outside my window I see a bright clear sky,
With a wind blowing gently through the branches of the trees, making the leaves chase each other across the ground.
The traffic trundles past on the road, people making their way to who knows where.
A church, work, a celebration of two lives joining, a life departing, or a new life beginning.
Or home.
People cycle past my window, joyfully laughing, shouting, feeling the wind on their faces. Loving the thrill.
Just for a moment forgetting.
Birds saw through the heavens, elsewhere, water flows, forests grow,
People smile, tears are dried,
Friendships are made, hatred dies.
The world spins round, knew love is found,
Sunlight or starlight brightens the earth.
If we looked, every day we would see,
Somewhere there is a holy moment,
Just like this.

It 1 JL. Monday, November 22, 1993 Extra winter classes may ease finances Administration hopes additional winter quarter classes will increase tuition dollars By Lisa Day Signpost staff writer A decrease in enrollment this quarter could cause a loss of $1.5 million in tuition payments, so departments are adding sections to the winter schedule. "The drop in enrollment hurts the budget at Weber State University. We planned on 15,000 students. Now we have that much less funding from tuition and have to try to accommodate for that' said WSU President Paul Thompson."A lot of students have complained that they can't get into the classes they need, so we've notified the departments to open up additional high demand classes," he said. The additional classes will en Professor tips students By Julie Morrison Signpost staff writer The beginning of every quarter seems to be the same. You pull out your class schedule and look at your list of instructors. Your classes are usually all third and fourth choice classes, as the ones you really wanted which were full by the time the touch-tell registration system got through with you. Then you ponder what these instructors will be like. "A good teacher is easy to spot," said Brad Roghaar, an English instructor at Weber State University. There may be a difference of opinions on what consti courage students to enroll who dropped out because they could not get the classes they wanted. Thompson said that should get WSU past a temporary shortage of funds from tuition. "Many students didn't enroll this fall because they couldn't get the classes they needed and decided to wait until next quarter to take them," Thompson said. "Any time you change an approach, it's hard to adjust. We overcorrected and are now trying to say to students 'We have space to enroll,'" Thompson said. In a memo, Thompson asked department chairmen to identify the high demand classes and add sections winter quarter and then advise students of their options. A listing of added classes appears in The Signpost today. tutes a good instructor, and Roghaar set up some classifications of what he feels constitutes a good instructor. "A good instructor is someone who reads not only their subject area, but outside their subject area," he said. "Reading is important in the understanding of subject matter. Therefore, if an instructor requires more reading from a student, the student has a better chance of learning and understanding."In order to learn and understand, Roghaar feels a student needs to articulate someone else's writings. By doing that, the student can STEVE CONUN7WE SIGNPOST Enrollment for fall quarter dropped by 546 students this year because of the new admission standards at WSU. Many students also turned to working as an alternative to attending college. The university had 14,447 students enroll this year, compared to the 14,993 enrolled fall quarter last year, Thompson said. Sophomore enrollment was up 1.8 percent from 2,749 to 2,798. Junior enrollment was down 2.7 percent from 2,652 to 2,580. Senior enrollment was up 4.8 from 3,959 to 4,147. Reasons for the low enrollment include the new admission requirements and the fact that many high-school graduates found jobs and are working instead of going to school, Thompson said. "I feel that students finding jobs on choosing teachers begin to understand their own writings. "You can't just know what you think, you need to first think what does someone else think," he said. Another important ingredient to being a good instructor, he said, is classroom discussion. Brad "By involving as many students as possible in class dialogue, the subject matter seems to come across better," he said. He also believes in new and innovative ideas; he doesn't want Migrate... WSU's obsession with its pets and their watery home will be more evident than ever this year. According to a report from the student hot line, maintenance personnel will drain the pond for the winter. One reason, according to the report, is to keep the ducks tails from being frozen off. Here's another issue for the hot line: why don't our ducks migrate like everyone else's? and working is the major reason for the drop in enrollment," Thompson said. WSU has had an open enrollment policy for the last 103 years, Thompson said. This year the Utah State Board of Regents decided to limit enrollment because of an overload of students which WSU could not accommodate. They did this by establishing an admission deadline of July 1, Thompson said. "Many students just didn't get their applications in by the deadline," Thompson said. The Board of Regents also established an admission index. The index is a combination of the student's grade point average and ACT scores figured together, See Classes page 6 "You should never underestimate students and what they can grasp," he said. " The trick is to keep the subject just high enough above a student's head, but no so far it is unreachable," he added. Roghaar's goal Roghaar is to open his students up to thinking and not to take things at face value. "My goal is not to make students think as I do, but only to help them think," he said.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Inappropriate use of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents can lead to antimicrobial resistance, drug-related adverse effects, and higher costs.1 Antimicrobial stewardship programs can improve the use of antimicrobials by promoting the appropriate selection of agents, dose, duration, and method of administration. Even though guidelines for developing such programs exist, many hospitals do not have these programs in place.2,3
In response to a State law requiring hospitals to promote appropriate antibiotic use, the Healthcare-Associated Infections Program in the California Department of Public Health provides education, guidance, and other support to hospitals and long-term care facilities that are creating antimicrobial stewardship programs focused on the appropriate use of antibiotics. Support includes recommendations on program elements based on best practices, consultations and education, hospital collaboratives to facilitate sharing of ideas across similar organizations, and creation of common metrics to track and benchmark performance. A description of each of these key elements follows:

Parachute to Land in Fredonia
Contributed by: Buffalo.com/YourHub Robert Frezza on 4/21/2009
Originally from Charlottesville, Va, Island recording artists Parachute are gearing up for their first full-length album release in May. The lead single, "She is Love" is receiving radio airplay in part to the efforts of their sponsor, Nivea. The band will be arriving to Fredonia in May and Buffalo.com/Your Hub had the chance to speak to lead singer Will Anderson.
Q: Charlottesville, Va. is your hometown.
A: Yes, it is. It's where we went to college and where we grew up, as well. We met in high school. We were friends longer than we were in the band. We were all into music, so we decided to start up a band.
Q: The band was originally called Sparky's Flaw. Why thename change to Parachute?
A: We knew wewanted to change the name for a while. It finally came to a point that we found a name that better reflected the band. It was very natural and very simple.
Q: Your on tour with O.A.R. How has that been going?
A: O.A.R. are such nice guys. It's unbelievable how professional and great the entire crew is. To share the stage with them is quite amazing. It's been nothing but good things from them and we love their music as it is. We've been really lucky.
Q: Have you been finding a lot of O.A.R. fans coming up to you after the show?
A: Yeah, actually. The fans have been awesome and really supportive and they've been really cool to us.
Q: How did Nivea approach you about using your single intheir ads?
A: They came to us with a commercial a while back. The song was featured on their ad campaign. It has definitely raised the number of listeners we have. It was pretty incredible.
Q: Your already being compared to Maroon 5. How does that feel?
A: We love Maroon 5 and bands like The Fray. We do like a random, eclectic mix of music that does include everything from Billy Joel to Billy Idol. To combine our influences and make a CD out of it is an unbelievable opportunity for us.
Stay tuned for Parachute's album to be released in May. In the meantime, check them out at SUNY Fredonia on May 2.

Excelente custumer Services
When I called the 800# I was given the wrong package recommendation due to poor representative judgment call and lack of discovery questions. It took two trips packing the truck and there is furniture and other personal items still within the first home there that I now must use my minivan there to attempt to clear them out and port them to there to there to the new house. I went over the mileage given for my move and now must pay extra charges due to the overage. The representatives at the pick up and drop off locations were excellent and very professional.
I had a bad experience the first time I went to this location, but since it's the most convenient for my purposes I decided to give it another chance; this time, the service was excellent, very satisfied with it
La Muchacha no tenia interes en atender y el muchacho encargado me hizo esperar mas de 1 hora por su falta de experience Parece que tiene el deseo pero eso no Es suficiente.
The customer was treated right this time. Thank you!

Are Your Clothes Made in a Sweatshop?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
It's been 16 years since Charles Kernaghan made Kathie Lee Gifford cry on national television, revealing that her Wal-Mart-sold clothing line was produced by Honduran children working 20-hour shifts. It was an essential moment in bringing labor conditions in the developing world — specifically in the garment industry — to the attention of the American public.
But not that much has changed. Looking back on the movement and its achievements in an interview, Kernaghan sounds defeated, even as he reels off the list of horrific factories exposed by his Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights.
Kernaghan's gloomy mood stems from the report he is writing now on a recent trip to Northern Bengal, where the Institute secretly met with workers from the Rosita and Megatex factories to follow up on a previous exposé. The two factories produce expensive sweaters for an array of European apparel companies, companies which assure their customers that the workers are guaranteed the core rights established by the International Labor Organization (ILO), including freedom of association and the elimination of child labor.
Well, that turns out not to exactly be the case. And it turns out that most Americans still likely know very little about the conditions under which the clothes they wear were produced.
"It was ridiculous. In fact it was one of the worst factories we've seen," says Kernaghan. "There was child labor, people were being beaten, cheated of their wages — and wages were very, very low. Male supervisors would constantly press young women to have sex with them."
The Institute followed every development: The presidents of the workers' committee (not even a legally recognized union) were both threatened with assassination. There was every reason to take these murderous threats seriously: the Bangladeshi Export Processing Zone Authority, which runs the free trade zone where the factories are located, is run by former military operatives. Police stations are located right outside the factory, and police cars stud the surrounding blocks, but not for the protection of the employees. When workers demonstrated for their rights, hundreds were beaten by the police and then fired. The committee presidents at the time were beaten, tortured, fired and banned from coming anywhere near the factory.
Rosita is owned by a Chinese company, South Ocean, one of the largest knitwear manufacturers in the world. Kernaghan and his colleagues brought the workers to the Embassy of the Netherlands, where they met with representatives from a host of European nations. But what about the corporations that depended on the abusive factory?
"These corporations are not even embarrassed when you bring this up," says Kernaghan. "We've got an international system that is never going to work until there are internationally recognized workers rights standards that become law. What are we going to do with Bangladesh, for example, when the government is dysfunctional. How can you have ethical trading with a country that has no rules? We do a lot of garment stuff and most of it is a disaster. I can't imagine anything changing, but I do believe that the vast majority of people have a heart and a soul and would love to do the right thing. It's just hard to figure out how to do that."
* * *
On average Americans buy 64 garments every year, the overwhelming majority made overseas. Multiple polls and studies have shown that consumers want to buy ethically made clothing. In a recent National Consumers League poll, 59 percent of respondents said it is "very important" that the products they purchase are not made in dangerous or unfair conditions, while 94 percent said that the way workers are treated is important to them. A 2006 study published in the American Sociological Association's journal included multiple surveys that showed supermajorities of shoppers willing to pay anywhere from $1 to $5 more for garments made in humane conditions (the percent fell as theoretical prices rose).
