Not just at the state level, but it really begins at the LOCAL level. (Although our local official don't recognize what they are doing. They are just used to raising taxes to get what they want -- just look at the county's outrageous insurance. No private company could exist with that kind of expense.)

Ganglion Cyst
What is a Ganglion Cyst?
A Ganglion cyst is a cyst that appears along the tendons or joints of the hands. They may be accompanied by pain. While they are benign, they should be removed as there is no way to determine whether or not they are benign until they have been excised and sent to a lab for analysis. While they are primarily found at the wrist, they can also occur on the tendon sheath of the palm or finger and also at the DIP joint (which is the joint of the finger nearest the nail) which is known as a Mucoid cyst (associated with degenerative arthritis).
What causes a Ganglion Cyst?
The direct causes of a Ganglion cyst are unclear, but they are believed to be associated with specific sprains of the wrist and/or repetitive wrist motion.
What are the symptoms of a Ganglion Cyst?
In many cases, the Ganglion cyst will develop into a large lump on the wrist, highly visible and a clear indicator of the condition. This is not, however, always the case. It is just as likely that the cyst grows beneath the tendons of the wrist, so that it is not outwardly visible. The less visible a cyst, the more likely it is to cause pain, because of it's position beneath so many levels and layers of hand anatomy, while the highly visible cysts, while dramatic in appearance, usually are less painful, as they are not entangled within the tendons.
How to diagnose a Ganglion Cyst.
For cases in which the cyst is clearly visible, diagnosis is fairly straightforward, but in cases where the cyst is beneath the surface of the wrist, MRI imaging is needed to determine the size and location. While X-rays are ineffective at detecting the cysts, they are still helpful to see if there is any underlying arthritis. MRI films are able to detect about 60% of Ganglion cysts.
Treatment Options
Non-surgical treatment of a Ganglion Cyst.
As it is believed that Ganglion cysts develop and progress with activity, the first step is to immobilize as much as possible the affected wrist so that the cyst will stop growing, and possibly begin to shrink. Sometimes, this is enough to relieve the pressure on the nerves of the wrist, and stop the pain. Another non-surgical method that is often employed is aspiration, whereby the doctor will lance the cyst and drain it of fluid, thus effectively relieving the pressure and irritation. Aspiration, unfortunately, does not guarantee that the cyst won't return, and some sources report that recurrence rate even after aspiration is up to 80%. Steroid injections, when paired with aspiration, may also help keep the cyst from recurring, but are not a definitive answer.
Surgical treatment of a Ganglion Cyst.
If non-surgical treatments are ineffective at reducing pain or inflammation, then usually it is necessary for the doctor to excise the cyst from your wrist. It is a simple surgery, and consists of the doctor making an incision in your wrist (of a size commensurate with that of the cyst), through which the cyst will be removed, along with its stalk and often some surrounding tissue. This is frequently performed with the assistance of wrist arthroscopy to minimize the incision size and to assess any additional injuries to the ligaments or cartilage of the wrist. The cyst will be sent to a pathology lab for testing, to make sure that it is a benign cyst. While there is no guarantee that a Ganglion cyst will not recur, the rate of recurrence following excision is only about 5%, far less than that accompanying aspiration.
How can Dr. Knight help you with a Ganglion Cyst?
Ganglion cysts are one of the most common wrist ailments, and throughout his career as a surgeon he has treated countless occurrences. His experience allows him to comfortably recommend the best possible treatment for a Ganglion cyst, one that both fits the patient and the condition.

Comments about Cafe Caramel K-Cup:
I hate the bitterness of coffee and this one really hit the spot! I can't taste the bitterness even when I mix it with a light roast coffee. It's the perfect thing for a morning time rush to my classes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comment on this review
By Audrey
from Orlando, FL
I'm so dissapointed, as this is NOT coffee. This is fake caramel flavored water with zero coffee taste. It is overly sweet, and gives a horrendous after taste. I'm so mad I wasted $10 on these. Going straight to the garbage.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent caramel flavor..
By LtJamesEMcCarthy
from Earth
I get that most people are down rating this because it doesn't taste like coffee. It isn't. BUTUse this as an added "flavor" for a cup of light roast, and it's blissful. Love it.
Flavor change
By KM
from Orlando, Florida
I loved this product, as I am unable to drink 'coffee'. This was more of a dessert drink. I would drink this when craving something sweet. 4 or 5 a day. Loved it! But the flavor recently changed and is now not much more than lightly flavored water. Miss the original flavor!!!!!!! All my co- workers, who I got hooked on it, are all complaining now too. Bring back the original flavor please!!!!
best ever
By angiew
from lyndonville,vt
I don't usually like flavored coffee, but I tried this on a whim and I am hooked... My coffee mug holds enough to brew one Cafe Caramel and One French roast and wow sooooo good..
Beware! Contains Sucralose!
By Dee
from North Carolina
For something that is sold as "indulgent" and "delectable" you would not think it would have an artificial sweetner in it. I normally only look for that on items that say "light" or "diet" or "low calorie." But this stuff has sucralose in it, something to which I am allergic. After a tortured night of illness, I went back over what I had the night before, and in checking the ingredients, found the cause of my misery! Three stars for the good caramel taste and the good customer service when I called to complain.

This is NOT coffee!
By Keurig owner since 2011
from Pittsburgh, pa
I bought this because I thought it was caramel flavored coffee. It is NOT. It is some caramel flavored hot water drink. Disgusting. Really upset that I spent 10 dollars on a misleading product. They don't have any description on the box to inform the consumer. I think they at least need to remove "Cafe" from the title.
By JBeans
from Buffalo, NY
I LOVE this beverage. Don't go into it expecting something that tastes like coffee; it's more like a carmel capuccino. Delicious and perfect for an after dinner beverage. Just a heads up - it is much better when you don't do the travel mug size. The larger beverage is a bit watered down.
Not good
By tennman
from NC
Tastes like cheap powder drinks.
Satisfying and relaxing
By weep

This is great for those people who like caramel. It is creamy, rich, and relaxing. Nice for when you don't want coffee. Hot caramel instead of hot chocolate, and not too sweet!!

When you think of spoiled brat tennis stars in need of anger management classes, the one that usually pops to mind is John McEnroe. Remember those days of chair-slamming, profanity-lobbing, racquet-smashing excitement on the courts? He was disrespectful and inappropriate and degraded the integrity of the game yada yada blah blah ... but he also made the game so edge-of-your-seat suspenseful! You never knew when that timebomb was going to blow and it kept you watching. We loved it and hoped for it just as much as we do when the hothead tennis star of this generation, Andy Roddick, has one of his freak-outs. Like yesterday ..
Roddick having a conniption about water on the court at yesterday's U.S. Open:
Pretty good, right? And this isn't even his best work. The fact is, tennis needs some good drama to liven things up and get people to show up to the games once in a while. Did you take a look at all those empty seats in the background while Roddick is going off on that poor ump? You wouldn't see that at a hockey playoff game or a soccer match. There, even if the game itself turns out to be a real snoozer, at least you can watch the fans beat each other up.
Don't get me wrong. Tennis is a great game that can be intense and exciting. But it's also an elite, restrained, non-contact sport that's been struggling for a spot in the sports-crazed US fan psyche in recent years.
And of course we can't forget that modern day tennis players are strong, focused, powerhouse athletes who drink adrenaline for breakfast. Of course they are going to blow once in a while and become YouTube sensations. It is what it is and it's not that big a deal, especially if no one gets a racquet in the face. Now that would definitely cross the water-soaked line.

Anna- have you ever heard of Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg, Yannick Noah, or Ilie Nastase? These are just a few Europeans that have had trophy wives that didn't work out too well in the end. There are also many upstanding American players. Arthur Ashe, Pete Sampras, Micheal Chang. Making a blanket statement is not fair and shows a lack of research. Roddick is upset because a wet hard court is dangerous to play on and is trying to get the point across to someone who doesn't seem to be listening or doesn't care. I don't think it is a lack of class.

R. Kelly - Love Letter
Artist: R. Kelly
Producer: R. Kelly
Album: Love Letter
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 62 total votes )
Who knows if R. Kelly is feeling Trey Songz' challenge to his throne, but either way the Pied Piper has emerged with new music to re-assert his place in the royal chambers of R&B. Title track and new single, Love Letter, brings simple, heartfelt lyrics and evocative harp strings to the table, cooked up by Kells himself, bursting with enough rich notes to serve as an early Thanksgiving feast. On the mic you never know what you're going to get with Kelly. The same man who wrote the eminently shallow Feelin' on Your Booty penned I Believe I Can Fly, but it doesn't take long to realize that Love Letter is much more the latter. Lyrically, Kelly stays in the deep end of the pool, writing nothing but purely romantic sentiments befitting the title, while vocally he's as smooth and grown man sexy as possible, turning out candlelit melody after melody. If you just can't get enough, check out this song's holiday remix, A Love Letter Christmas, out now, as well as Robert Sylvester's upcoming album, Love Letter, arriving December 14, just in time for present buying season.

I believe that there is inadequate strategic planning taking place in pathology and by pathologists. It's true that many of the individual pathology societies support some strategic planning activities but there are few published reports articles addressing the challenges facing our specialty. Here's what I consider the four of the most important challenges facing the field consideration from a strategic perspective: (1) cancer oncology; (2) digital pathology; (3) the future of the LIS; (4) increased lab complexity with reduced lab budgets.
By way of contrast, radiologists has been addressing strategic planning in their field head-on for many years. For example, the International Society of Strategic Studies in Radiology (ISSSR) held its ninth biennial meeting in August 2011. Here is the citation for the published proceedings of that meeting: Eur Radiol (2012) 22:2283-2294. This article is a revealing compendium about what the future holds for radiology. A number of topics are addressed in the proceedings including molecular imaging, diagnostic algorithms, information technology in radiology, integrated diagnostics, and health information exchanges. Here's a passage from the article describing population imaging:
Population imaging employs computational radiology techniques such as unstructured and structured data mining, image segmentation, and statistical modeling to map and summarise imaging features from large image databases and thus extract meaningful imaging biomarkers. The biomarkers may be anatomic structures, disease manifestations, tumour characteristics, or haemodynamic abnormalities. The summation of one or more imaging features, or biomarkers, from a global data set can be considered a phenotypic "population image" representing a particular disease or health state. In clinical care or clinical trials, population images may be used as a reference to classify individuals or patient groups into diagnostic categories. Radiologists can play a key leadership role in providing the needed intuition to productively integrate the computational information from population images with personal medical information....These imaging biomarkers may facilitate prediction of future disease onset, the development and implementation of preventive measures, and even the development of pre-clinical diagnostics....Furthermore, because of the statistical power provided by large sample sizes, population studies using global databases could potentially replace individual prospective studies as a means of validating new biomarkers, saving both time and money.
Here's a more succinct definition of population imaging (Population Imaging):
The ultimate aim of the European Population Imaging Infrastructure is to help the development and implementation of strategies to prevent or effectively treat disease. It supports imaging in large, prospective epidemiological studies on the population level. Image specific markers of pre-symptomatic diseases can be used to investigate causes of pathological alterations and for the early identification of people at risk.
I certainly applaud the strategic planning efforts of our colleagues in radiology and this focus on population imaging effort has tremendous merit. However, the apparent absence of clinical and anatomic pathology data in this project is a significant problem.

Small Cool 2007: The Winners!
We're all winners. Congratulations to all the winners! We'd like to thank everyone who entered for sharing their homes with all of us and proving that SMALL is COOL. Thanks as well to our four fabulous judges, Kara, Michael, Jamie and Brad for choosing these winners.* And a big thank you to DWR for sponsoring the whole shebang.
Quotes from the Judges on London Urchin's entry:
Kara:"I love this apartment because of its simple elegance. Its clean design works well with the small size, but the warmth makes it a comfortable home."
Brad:"The custom cabinetry is brilliant and a clever way of making the most of a small space. Congratulations on scoring the Hans Wegner dining set on Ebay."
The rest of the winning lineup is below the jump...
Quotes from the judges on Laura's entry:
Brad:"For under 300 square feet this place really delivers. Nice decor with a beautiful choice of colors."
Michael:"It's the first place I saw on the site and by far my favorite. She did a great job making the apartment feel bigger than it is and managed to create nice individual spaces. It's extremely "tight" and well thought out. I'd like to spend a long weekend here."
Quotes from the judges on Victor & Soeun's entry:
Kara : "This space might seem very simple because of the use of negative space and dominating white palette, but was very clearly designed with lots of thought. Everything in the room has a function so there is an overall calm to the space."
Michael: "You can't go wrong with white! I like the way they embraced the use of a single color this way and it's one of the few loft entries that still feels like a "loft". You can collect quite the array of fun items when they are all in the same color. I could have easily moved this one up on my list."
Quotes from the judges on Ron's entry:
Brad:"I like the 'hotel suite' concept making this a gorgeous space. Great use of mirrors and lamps to make the apartment seem larger."
Kara: "The mix of neo-traditional and modern lines in this apartment gives it a mature, but funky vibe. The wall paneling and accessories add a refined layer to the space. "
* A note on the judges decisions:
1. Each of our judges was instructed to choose their top four places in order. Each finalist was given points based on their choosing, with four for first place on down to one for fourth place. The finalists points were then totaled up to get the overall winner.
2. London Urchin was a breakaway favorite with the judges, whereas the next three places were all separated by one point. It was very close.
3. Jamie Gray sent in his votes, but - with regrets - was not able to send in comments due to his intense schedule with his shop in SoHo opening today.
4. Finally, our apologies for the mixup last night at DWR SoHo between third and fourth places. Ron DID indeed garner fourth place (as was originally stated), and Jill - in the heat of the moment - spoke up mistakenly with a correction which led to awarding Ron third place on the evening. Everything was confirmed afterwards, we spoke to Ron and he was very noble about the whole thing. WE (AT) will be awarding him with $250 to give him a monetary 3rd place as an apology for the mixup (it will definitely come out of someone's Christmas bonus! ;-)).

Congrats to all the winners!
Fyi, photo above for Laura is not from her place.
Congratulations to all the winners - all four were fantastic and very deserving.
Congratulations to all the winners. I have to admit though, I think Laura should have taken first place!!
fabulous!!!! congrats to all the winners!!!!
I'm so sad that it's over now. Do it again! Do it again!
Thank you apartment therapy and all the readers! I can not believe that I won. So shocked in fact, that I cried and embarrassed myself at the DWR party!
I found this site a few months ago when I was facing the idea of moving into a tiny apartment and discovered last year's contest. Apartment Therapy has been such an inspiration for me. Living in a tiny place is not only possible but can also be really enjoyable.
Thank you!
** oh and the photo of my place above is from the wrong entry.
Congrats to all the winners. It feels like a let down today that it is over. It's thrilling when those photos scroll up and have such wonderful surprises, I will miss the contest. I suggest a regular feature to keep the photos coming for the visually voracious among us and having a raffle or something to reward the entrants. The entries that came after the contest were wonderful to see and I felt sorry that there were eliminations from the contest. Tough job to choose, GOOD JOB JUDGES.
All 4 of you are to seriously congratulated because in my mind, this year was some of the stiffest competition ever, no kiddin'. Many of the other entries were sensationa, too. Maybe I'm also getting old, but I think the judges did a very good job.
Dear Apartment Therapy and Readers,
We had a last minute emergency last night and could not attend the party. We are very sorry, and we were disappointed that we could not be there to meet everyone and share in the fellowship of design.
We know our loft design is very different and we never expected to place in the competition let alone be nominated as a finalist. We entered only to show that good design for one's home is a very personal matter that relates to each individual's definition of home-what is most important to them. Needless to say, we were quite surprised at our third place finish.
We would like to thank everyone involved in the contest for their comments, encouragement, and support.
Victor & Soeun (Romantic Loft-NYC)
oh, i'm sad that it's over, too. congrats to all of the winners! thanks to all of the contestants for sharing such inspiring spaces.
laura - yours was definitely my favorite!
CRapola! Sorry about that wrong pic!
Fixed now.
In my fervor to put in new pics, I swiped one from Laure not Laura. Apologies and I blame the double latte....
Many thanks to 'Design Within Reach' too!!! Soeun & Victor
Laura: Congratulations! Representin' the West Coast, baby... You didn't embarass yourself at all last night. It was really cute, but also very touching...
Great meeting you and the other LA finalists who made it to the event last night: Laure, Eric & AMMO!
Thanks, Jill and Maxwell, for sending over the wine. Good stuff.
Whoops... I meant Laure & Elliott, too.
Congrats to all the winners!
I wish everyone the best and hope you have a great 2007.
I'll see you all next year for SMALLEST COOLEST 2008.
Tony G.
Laura, Laure, Lauren, Eric, Eric (and Ammo)...the SouthWest finalists were similarly named and equally all impressive. Congrats Laura!
Thanks Gregory! It was so nice to meet you!
are all the winners owners?
is laura the only renter?
This is a great contest. I really enjoyed watching it.
However I think there is the need for 2 categories: renter and homeowner. It's really not fair to the rental entries to be compared to someone who can do a complete renovation, remodel, etc... I'd like to know the statistics of homeownership among the winners, or even among the semi-finalists. It seems to me that an inordinate proportion of them were owners. Custom built-in anything is just not an option for someone who is renting. They have to be more creative by working only with furnishings, and possibly paint. If you're really interested in an apples-to-apples contest, you will split it into two categories next year. Otherwise you are unquestionably favoring homeowners by default, by inaction.
Thanks again for a very enjoyable time!
Laura, among the entrants that placed, you definitely should have come in first! Such a striking apartment!
Yeah Ron!
Thank you! Amazing! I've never won anything before. So sorry I couldn't be there in NYC.
I'd like to thank the "Academy"--apartment therapy team, judges and DWR, as well as all the rest of you out there.
To my fans, I say thank you for the good vibes and support and... excellent taste!
[To my detractors, I say, nothing. I ice you out cruelly and ignore you in my inflated, wicked glory -- despite the fact that yes, it's true I cannot hold a camera to save my life and yes, of course the other entries were fantastic!]
Congrats to all the other winners -- formidable adversaries all, and people with great eyes and much can-do. I was definitely sweating this. [Ron, I look forward to seeing your new show 'Lamp Tramp' on Bravo. Someone sign this man to a deal!]
Thank you so much to everyone who weighed in and also special thanks to Parisian grande dame France Faver, a woman now well into her 80s and onetime enemy of the 'smelly, drunk' Edith Piaf (her words, not mine) who gave me the black basalt Wedgwood collection in my current possession, and who, as a former couturiere (google her) and art and antiques dealer taught me everything I have ever learned about style and the art of living including the proper way to cut a steak, a woman who has befriended a girl from the Midwest whose mother she accidentally once met at a flea market fifteen years ago, and shown her what it takes to have an Eye, and a woman who assured me Roche Bobois would 'suffice' for my couch -- thank you for personally approving my own Cligancourt finds, and may you and your dog Moushka forever entertain me in your Parisian salon with stories of the good old days! Like a movie plot but actually real.
And now…I dedicate this award to all those of you out there who have lived in miserable, dark, dank, loud, lead paint-filled, walk-up, ill-conceived, crappy, miserable rented apartments belonging to yet another slumlord and populated with furniture from college or worse, high school....in New York or elsewhere...to those who have moved around year after year and have found themselves sobbing in Ikea when they realized that for the fifth year in a row they are buying the Very Same Spatula AGAIN (same Spatula, different Ikea)…
...those of you who have toiled for the Man for years with only a vague dream of home ownership on the horizon...
....may you too someday experience a small windfall (ie in my case some freelance work) that makes you so giddy with the glow of employment and a positive bank balance for once that you recklessly, ill-advisedly thrown it all into a down payment for your first teeny tiny micro apartment in the world's most overpriced real estate market...despite the chorus of friends and family who think you are insane...
and that you too decide to, say, gut this space to build a sleeping loft and other whizz bang features so that you can turn it into a place that's truly nice -- a small, really lovely place that's finally your own, rather than a bigger, more mediocre, place -- a place that you aren't embarrassed to bring your friends toddlers into [lest they encounter a varmint and contract something], a place that has the floors you yourself have picked out, a place with real furniture, a place that lives like a treehouse, a place that finally feels like home though far from Home, and a place that-- even when you are having the most horrendous of days --still manages to make you smile and feel proud – smug and self congratulatory even – a rare privilege in this urban world.
I'm just a girl from Milwaukee, living the dream in the Big Smoke. Thank you for the honor.
[sobs of happiness…London Urchin collapses and faints, quite rightly, on selfsame couch]
I second what tbd said. I'd also add that something seriously needs to be done about the professionals vs. amateurs problem. Wende in Phoenix did a great analysis of this and it was glaringly clear that the entries done with the HELP of professional designers or by professional designers were highly likely to be rated highly and those that were done completely by amateurs employing nothing but their own wits were highly likely to be rated poorly.
If this just winds up being a contest for a slighly younger, slightly less affluent (but still relatively affluent) version of the Metropolitan Home set, well... that would be pretty fucking boring.
London Urchin, darling, your prose is outdone only by your apartment. Well done, in both cases. Congratulations. (...Now send some of that freelance work my way!)
thank you one and all who supported me and my home through out this contest! it was a shear joy and honor to be included in the finals. the exposure has lead to some amazing new opportunities. in fact, you will soon see my home in a national magazine!
there has been a lot written about how this contest should be run, "professional/non-professional" or "homeowner/renter". and whether or not it was fair that i be included in the competition. like "londonurchin" i chose not to respond to any of the negative comments that were posted. (besides you all did a great job of arguing the points amongst yourselves! haha)
however, i would love to clarify a few points.
first, yes, i am a designer. i started my business a year ago, and am now working on my fourth client. but this entry was my own personal home. i do not have access to any more resources than anyone else. i do not have a resale license and i do not shop "to the trade." i shop at flea markets, second hand stores and major retailers, just like everyone else.
second, i am a renter. yes, a renter, i renovated the place myself with very inexpensive upgrades with my own money. why do that for a rental? because to me, it's not a rental, it's my home. i want to feel comfortable in my home and i want others to feel that way too. i worked very hard to get it to that point, with my own money, sweat, (and, yes, some blood and a few tears!)
if you were all to come to my home, i would shake us up some cocktails, tell you to have a seat on the all white sofa, feel comfortable putting your feet up on the plexi coffee tables, and set your drink down on the side table, WITHOUT a coaster! it's just furniture, it's not the smithsonian. i want everyone to feel comfortable in my home. that is why there are all of the pillows and all of the lamps, making the space feel comfortable and inviting. if i were a better photographer, i would have taken pictures at night so you can see how comfortable it is.
like, londonurchin, i am from a small town, (in iowa!) just trying to make it on my own in the big apple. trying to live my dream. i am on my way, and the exposure from this contest has helped immensely, and for that i say thank you.
if you are ever in new york, let me know. i will shake up some martinis, we will put our feet up on the furniture and discuss design tips!
thank you again one and all.
Congratulations to all the winners and all the rest who entered! This has been a terrific competition this year and intimidating to anyone who would like to enter next year. There was scarcely an entry that wasn't an "insta-finalist" in my estimation. Thanks for showing us your homes.
I don't see why the contest shouldn't be open to designers and architects, and used by them to further their careers. - It's nice to have new designers 'discovered' by AT!!
However, I agree with (I think it was) Patrick (too)'s suggestion that the contest be closed to apartments that have already been 'previously published' - i.e., already appeared somewhere in a magazine, or showcased on a prominent design blog, etc. (personal webpages of the designers themselves shouldn't count).
As to excluding those who've had any professional design help - how could you possibly police that? Such a restriction would just increase the chances of dishonesty, and acrimony in the readers' posts, seems to me.
But a side note on the overwrought acrimony on other threads: I think it's not all a bad thing! It indicates how many of the readers here are passionate about AT itself, and that is ultimately an essential part of the success of AT itself. After all, it wouldn't go anywhere if no one cared where it went.
Ron: you have a really great apartment and you deserved recognition! Congratulations on all your hard work paying off.
You did some inexpensive upgrades, but not a complete tear-out and renovation. In my opinion as a renter you had a special challenge to work with what was there, and you rose to that challenge. My suggestion is not that homeowners be excluded, but that there be two prize categories.
Also I don't think that designers who enter their own homes should be excluded, but I do think that those who hired outside designers were not quite in the same DIY spirit that Apartment Therapy seems to embrace.
Don't let our squabbling over rules and categories ruin your glory. Enjoy!
GMK... Eric and I are renters!
Congrats to all the winners (and everyone else of course)! All are very deserving.
what wonderful comments. congratulations all!
Hurrah!! London Urchin, you go!!! And you too, Ron. And all the others.
Nice words from you both: thanks for the good wishes. As a renter with a nightmare of a mess at the moment, I look forward to making my space, if not as wonderful as yours, at least nice and livable.
Inspirational, truly.
This year's competition has been incredibly inspiring - so much so that I've bitten the bullet and have just bought a 580 sq ft apartment! Who knows, I might even muster up the courage to enter next year!
Big congratulations to all the winners - you all deserve it for your hard work. Thank you!
I'm happy that Urchin's entry won, it was one of my favourites ( maybe even THE favourite) from the beginning! Congrat's!!
Absolutely, I think that the winners chosen deserved to win.
I hope that "professionals" are not excluded from future contests. We need their ideas. Besides, I anticipate that there would be much controversy over what constitutes a "professional." Does that term only include interior designers, decoraters and architects? Or does it also include artists - graphic or otherwise? How about carpenters and seamstresses?
I have mixed feelings about creating separate categories for owners vs renters too as it might skew the awards. Laura's space is spectacular and she competed with those who own.

Badass Comedy Shows & Training
New Orleans, La 70116
The comedy event of the Summer is here! For the 5th year, The New Movement is hosting The Megaphone Marathons - a comedy festival unlike any other on the planet. For an entire week, improv groups from each TNM city (Austin and New Orleans) descend upon the other for non-stop workshops, intensives, & shows. It's a wild, wonderful time & this year's festival is bigger than ever.
$7 Online/$10 Door
Bad Example (ATX)
Bad Example is The New Movement Austin's premiere sketch troupe. With a brand new show every month (and sometimes every week), featuring an all-star cast of sketch writers and performers, Bad Example delivers one of the hardest-hitting shows in town. Bad Example is Cody Cartagena, Ariel Greenspoon, Roxy Castillo, Micheal Foulk, Vanessa Gonzalez, and Jeff Whitaker.
rude. (NOLA)
Colleen Allerton and Lauren LaBorde met in a sketch writing class at The New Movement. They are opposites — Colleen is a noisy extrovert with adult ADHD; Lauren has a writerly brain and a dour countenance — but through their love of messy reality TV heroines, excessive white wine consumption, and varying degrees of feminism they have forged a bond on and off stage that is "real fun to watch" (said some guy once). Together they created the viral video "My Purse, My Choice," which received over 400,000 views and was featured on MSNBC, The Today Show, CNN, The New York Times and your mother's Facebook page. They also do improv together at TNM.
Zoology Club (ATX)
Zoology Club is the code name of a US government research operation experimenting in the behavioral engineering of humans. In 2013, humorous videos of Zoology Club, cryptonym ZKUltra, began surfacing shortly, followed by live sketch and improv experimentations. The two program engineers, Kelsey Rodgers and Stephanie Pace, continue to practice comedy in the United States with impunity.
This show is presented by Blackout!

He said the DPS pays $79,700 per year at $75 per case, which funds about 1,063 of the cases. The remaining cases are processed for free. "We usually do far more cases WSU Task Laurie Albrechtsen Signpost campus affairs editor "The name change .issue was just the beginning, the strategic perspective defining the mission, strengths and weaknesses are the real important issues," said Helen James, chairwoman of the Weber State University Strategic Planning Task Force, in an open hearing Tuesday. Opinions voiced were addressing the clientele of the university. Kathy Lukken, associate provost (interim), voiced concern about the legal arena in relationship to the clientele. There are many things to look at in the protection of the clientele, the standards of 1, 1 .1 defends itself against than they pay for," he said. Morris Sterrett, chairman of the criminal justice department, said the crime lab is actually losing money on the cases. "We've kind of gone in the hole," he said. Sterrett said the crime lab has accounted for all but five of 100 cases the DPS requested in an audit. The DPS requested the cases because they could not be located in the crime lab but were being billed to the state. The lab substituted five gratis cases for the five missing cases to resolve concerns about billing. Sterrett said the cases were not found by the DPS because they were either in use or weremis-filed.

"We've all been very aware that that's not the most efficient way," he said. Sterrett agreed with complaints that the crime lab does not process cases as quickly as police departments would like. But, he said, the results have never been too late to go to trial. He said the crime lab faces three major problems: the increasing case load, the lack of a computerized case tracking system and not being able to prioritize cases by importance.

A case that has low priority, or lacks evidence, may be processed over an important case with the existing system, he said.

About $120,000 is paid by WSU. "It's like football and theater," he. said; "It adds to the student's experience " so the school funds it, but only to a degree."

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|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.

Esquire Theme by Matthew Buchanan
Social icons by Tim van Damme
Here in Italy patios and terraces are very popular. In the city having a terrace is very common, however compared to the U.S. their terraces are quite narrow but long and don't allow much space for furniture. Lucky for my neighbors they have the perfect terrace which they use every night. When I sit down to dinner I look out my kitchen window and see them eating as well, I must admit I'm extremely jealous of them! I mean take a look at the size of that thing! It's huge!! They even have a grill hidden behind that tree. Overall I love their deck but I think it could use a little, umm, spice. Maybe some nice lounge chairs or an outdoor couch. I've also noticed they don't have much lightening outside, perhaps some lanterns or string lights could really help.

Hello everybody,
I've just approved requests for new modules, unfortunately some requests as old as August 2011.
I'd like to apologise for our lack of commitment to approving new modules in the last months.
In our defence, there was a nasty bug stopping the approval, and it took me over two hours to track down.
Turns out its not a good idea to mark 25k forum members in your approver group and create a DataObjectSet from them...
So again, sorry it took so long - and please check out the new modules, there's some awesome work in there!
All the best

If you have discovered something you are passionate about, how did you discover that thing?
Many people go through living bored, mundane, uninspired lives. Many have not taken it upon themselves to seek out what they are passionate about. I was like that for about 50 years and it seems by luck I found my mine.
How did you find yours?

Roy MulderNov 5 2011: I am passionate about fish and the marine environment. I still remember getting my first mask at about 5 years old and being able to see clearly underwater. For years I tried to talk my father into joining me and he always was reluctant to put a mask on. I settled it by giving him a mask and snorkel for his birthday. He put it on his face and saw his first fish and was instantly hooked. That winter he asked if I would like to join him and take the Canadian Armed Forces Scuba Course. He was the oldest in the class and I was the youngest. That was 37 years ago and today I find myself president of the Marine Life Sanctuaries Society and an avid underwater videographer and fish sympathizer.
I never tire of diving and what I have seen happen to the ocean in front of my own eyes, has motivated me to devote my life to stewarding the ocean and enlightening people on what is there to be seen and taken care of.

Driving is addicting as hell
Although plenty of drivers could tell you horror stories (and I certainly have on this Tumblr) of driving stupid/drunk people, when you get somebody that's cool…It fucking rules.
It does rule and I find myself shying away from actual social plans to make time to drive strangers around for $2/mile. My Lexus is already paid off so it doesn't really matter to me. Plus it gives me an excuse to explore the city.
Last weekend, a ride request took me up to Rancho Palos Verdes. Boy, was that a nice drive. The people in my car… cool as hell.


text: It just occurred to me that some may not know what I mean when I use the term "Indian Country." So, here's a short definition: Any area inhabited by Indigenous people. (In the United States, Canada, and beyond.) Historically, the phrase Indian Country referred to areas, regions, or territories (like reservations and trust lands) that were inhabited primarily by Native Americans. I find myself (and others) using the phrase in a way that unites all Indigenous people, not just Native Americans in the U.S. In other words, "Indian Country" is not really a fixed, physical location, but exists wherever Natives are present. # CUNY Graduate School of Journalism Indian Country entrepreneurial journalism incubator EJP12 Posted 2 years ago 12 notes thedailydoodles likes thisjsweptson likes thistzoc-che likes thispuzzlerocks likes thiswhoablackbettybamalam likes thisfaerieclara likes thisnativeremix posted this

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell is going to be busy in the next week or so. He's taking the fight over the Allied Paper dump site on the road.
Hopewell tells us that, this week, he's going to Chicago for an EPA meeting to discuss the matter, and then next week he's going to Washington D.C. to meet with Michigan congressional representatives.
Mayor Hopewell's asking the EPA to scrap its plans to just cap and leave the PCB contaminated soil at the former Allied Paper site. Locals want the contaminated dirt to be taken away. There's a protest march planned for this Wednesday at Kalamazoo's Homecrest Circle, off Portage Road. They'll walk over to the Allied site. It starts at five PM.

About:Stories, re-telling my latest Adventures, Daydreams, random thoughts, & my everyday encounters with the things I love.
My (borrowed) mission statement for life:
"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." - Neil Gaiman
Stuffs I Like:
Today's shout-out goes to Surprises. Despite being a planner—a must plan every detail of everything all at once without even meaning to kind of planner—I LOVE surprises, especially when those surprises include someone else planning things out for once and giving me the rare but lovely gift of spontaneity. Which makes the new tradition Comet and I have of alternating surprise date-nights absolutely brilliant. I plan a date specifically steered towards Comet (the last one entailed gourmet hot dogs from Dog eat Dawg at Good Food Here on Belmont, some Lord of the Rings Pinball and a movie at the Hollywood Theater complete with snuck in VooDoo Doughnuts for snacks) and then the next time its on him to plan something for me. Lucky for us, we love virtually all of the same things and live in portland, so we have an endless supply of cool date ideas.
Posted on March/8/2011 with 4 notes
Tagged as:portland,powells,swirl,fro-yo,the academy,tangled,disney movies,sub rosa,se pdx,pdx food,date-nights,suprises,
The shout-out for yesterday is split in seven (all Voldermort style);
1. Hearing news that Comet and I both got the jobs we wanted!!! Come spring time we get to work in Outdoor Ed like we have wanted to forever, we get to work at the same place, and we get to work for a friend from summer camp! Nothing beats that kind of good news. (More on these jobs later).
2. A celebration dinner at the amazing Foster Burger. It's two minutes from my house (literally), and was named one of the top ten new burger joints in the US in Bon Appetite Magazine, which made me worry for a while that I would only like it because it would be really convenient too and for the hype. Lucky for me, last night proved it really is that good. A cheeseburger with grilled onions, french fries to dip in the best ranch ever and half an amazing coffee milkshake later, I left fully satisfied and happy to have such a good restaurant in the neighborhood.
3. Coffee milkshakes. Icecream and coffee in one. Need I say more?
4. Good friends to celebrate good news with.
5. Playing Poker for the first time in ages (and remembering that I kind of loooove playing poker) with friends who have fabulous Poker names (getting to say "Show us what you got Tampa!" is just plain fun).
6. Finding out that the aforementioned Tampa was taught Sex-Ed from a nun in the eighth grade and the hilarity that all that those stories provide.
7. And finally, the Portland Police, for driving home the completley incoherent drunk girl who was leaning/sleeping/swaying against my roommate's car as we tried to go home last night. And for the record, leaving a friend's house at 3:00am where it is all dark and foggy to see a shadowy shape of a person leaning on your car who doesn't notice you walk up is just creepy.

Honest feedback about first meeting; although I hustled to be on time at 6pm, only Lucy, the meeting leader, was on time. She was very sharp and enjoyable as we talked for almost 2 hours when others, including DestinyA arrived. Much geek chatter amongst small 2 people groups and other than introductions nothing was even started when I had to leave at 9PM, after 3 hours. The venue was nice but the noise level was a bit high, particularly because there were multiple conversations going on at the same time. Not much like an actual meeting. No pizza or meals available in the venue and after being told me MUST buy something I enjoyed a $6 brownie. It seems like a very sharp and knowledgeable group, if focuses. Also being told several times I must bring my laptop and I had screwed up and I must signup for JotHere, just to give this feedback I'm not sure if I will return. I probably will in the future if this honest feedback doesn't get me banned.

*Martin & Bill spent a long time talking, had a good time.
*Martin said he would consider becoming a meeting leader, something we all said we'd quite appreciate.
*Martin said he sometimes attends SoCalAndroid and they joke about me (yeah, because they're jealous!). He sayd they've been having their usual hack nights, though not recently due to the holidays, and only 1 presentation (presentations there still rare).

An Oran man was convicted sexually exploiting children and possessing child pornography after a two-day trial in federal court.
Benton Stong, 76, was convicted of one count of sexual exploitation of children and four counts of possession of child pornography, according to Peter Deegan, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Iowa.
Deegan says Stong persuaded four kids to engage in sexually explicit conduct in order to make pornography in 2012.He also says that evidence showed that Stong possessed child pornography between 2009 and 2012 at his home in Oran.
A sentencing date has not been set, but Stong faces anywhere from 15 to 110 years in prison, $1,250,000 in fines and five years to life on supervised release. He also will be required to register as a sex offender.

McGovern says the Defender "has never sold on its design," which is true and false. The farmers, international NGO workers and game park wardens, those who toil in the hinterlands and drive off into the wild blue yonder, are less concerned about the Defender's aesthetics than the fact that it can be rebuilt in the field with a couple of wrenches and some electrical tape. But the lifestyle buyers, the ones cruising London and Paris and paying $90,000 or more in the US to import a 25-year-old model, they're buying it for its design as much for what it stands for - you know, the cred it earned thanks to those other buyers.
Not that it matters, because the whole lot of them still aren't buying nearly enough to justify a new one. A Defender that makes more friends will necessarily be a kinder-looking truck - McGovern characterizes it as less "overtly functional" and "more sophisticated." The only saving grace for fans of the current vehicle is that it will take so long to figure out the new vehicle that won't be here until "at least two years or more from now."

Very nice recipe! I got my Piquillo Peppers at spainbestforless.com...they have the best Spanish ingredients at the best prices!
Asparagus Salad with Piquillo Peppers and Capers (Ensalada de Espárragos con Alcaparras)
Becky Luigart-Stayner
If you don't have a mortar and pestle to grind the garlic paste, you can always use a small heavy bowl and the back of a wooden spoon. A food processor works, too; be sure to scrape the sides down halfway through processing, and process again to achieve a smooth paste. If you can't find piquillo peppers, you can substitute roasted red peppers. Steam the asparagus and combine the ingredients for the dressing a day ahead; store them separately in the refrigerator.

What am I doing figure-heading this lab? The path has been a winding one. An undergraduate degree in Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences at Brown was followed by a brief stint as a psycholinguist at the Boston Aphasia Research Center, and then by graduate work as a clinical psychologist at Indiana University. There I discovered the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory. My dissertation concerned cerebellar interactions during eyeblink conditioning, which awakened me to the potential value of multi-site recording technology. I went to Duke University Medical School to do a post-doc with Miguel Nicolelis and Sid Simon, which allowed me to apply this technology, first to the somatosensory and then the gustatory system. It is this last work that I have brought to Brandeis.

Home » News » Politics » Town Meetings
Auburn board makes quick work of budget questions
One school board member quipped that the 17 minutes it took to conduct the meeting might be "a record."
The first article up for debate was the collective bargaining agreement reached between the Auburn School Board and the Auburn Education Association. The agreement provides three salary and benefit increases over the next three years: $82,270 increase for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, $111,433 increase for 2014-2015, and an $85,245 increase for 2015-2016.
Resident Gilbert Oriol inquired on the reason for the spike in the second year of the agreement.
He was answered by board member Alan Villeneuve, who said that while the second- and third-year raises were both 1.75 percent, there are changes in the health insurance burden which account for the discrepancy.
"In the third year, the health insurance percentages change," said Villeneuve. "The teachers pay an additional 2.5 percent health benefit, so that's why the number goes down.
The district's proposed operating budget followed. The budget comes in at $11,609,192, with the default budget falling at $11,437,610. Kathleen Porter, the board's representative on the Auburn Budget Committee, opened the discussion by thanking the Budget Committee.
"It's a lot of work," she said. "We actually do have a very good working relationship. We actually have fun, and I enjoyed it a lot. It's another successful year, and we bring forward our budget."
Resident and Planning Board Chairman Stoney Worster questioned school officials on several details of the budget.
One was an increase in student transportation cost: For the current school year, $558,730 was raised and appropriated. The transportation line in the proposed budget 2013-2014 school budget calls for $683,405. Kathleen Porter answered that the increase was due to the district's high school students currently being split between Memorial High School in Manchester and Pinkerton Academy in Derry. Two buses are being added to the district's transportation schedule.
The only change made to the warrant was a minor grammatical correction.
The final warrant article, which would take $25,000 from an undesignated fund surplus and place it into the School Construction Expendable Trust Fund, received no discussion. The fund finances construction, renovation, and expansion projects on school buildings and grounds.
The session's relative quiet may in part have been due to sparse attendance. Not counting school officials, only 14 people were present.
Porter used the opportunity to recognize several school officials who were present. Becky McCarthy, district clerk, District Moderator James Andrus, and School Board member Nancy Pelton were presented granite sculptures carved in the shape of the state.
The Auburn School District ballot will be presented alongside the town ballot at the Auburn Town Election March 12 at Auburn Village School, 11 Eaton Road. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

School Leavers
The Bournemouth & Poole College is one of the largest further education colleges in the country which means we can offer a broad choice of subjects and courses at all levels.
When you progress from your school education, we provide excellent opportunities for you to take your next step, if you are planning to move onto university or want to gain qualifications in readiness for a job. There is plenty of choice whether you prefer the academic route or vocational education.
Ofsted grade us as a good college where students are motivated and supported, and we will do all that we can to ensure you have relevant qualifications, life skills, experience and confidence to help your future success.
We have high standards and will expect you to work hard, maintain an excellent attendance record, and be motivated to achieve the best you possibly can.
If you're looking for a stepping-stone from school to university or a job – then The Bournemouth & Poole College is the right choice for you.
Learning is our passion
We are extremely proud of our students and what they achieve. When you choose to study at The Bournemouth & Poole College you will be working with tutors who have professional expertise within their subject. We also have some specialist academies where the teaching and learning are highly focused on a specific area.
This structure provides you with the chance to shine in your chosen area. You will be working with other students who share the same interests and common goals, and this helps you focus on strengthening your knowledge and skills.
The College community
We like to think of college as a big family, where everyone works together to support each other in a friendly, caring environment. We believe strongly in the 'community spirit' both within college, within the wider local community and within the global community.
As well as gaining qualifications, we promote opportunities for you to be a successful and confident young person with a lot to offer the world!
We are doing more to become a truly 'green' college; we support fair trade producers where possible, and we celebrate diversity and encourage our learners to think of their role as a modern citizen in today's society.
On top of your studies you can join in a wide range of enrichment activities. There is always something going on in our busy calendar of events. We believe that the social side is important too.
College is a more mature environment than school, and you will get used to meeting lots of different people, of all ages and from different cultures. Making new friends is something that our learners really value, and is an important part of The College experience.
We always listen to learner feedback, and young learners tell us that they really enjoy being treated as adults and appreciate the mature learning environment The College provides.
It's different from school
Don't let anyone tell you that coming to college will be the 'easy option'. Far from it! Because we treat you as an adult, we expect you to behave as an adult. You will be largely responsible for making decisions and taking control of your life. You will be encouraged to use your initiative, work hard and be self-disciplined and to be respectful of your environment and other people.
We expect our learners to be motivated and keen to learn. Your time at college is a preparation for employment or university, so our standards and expectations are high.
We also want you to succeed. We have excellent pass rates on our courses, but you will have to arrive at class on time, complete assignments etc and behave in a mature and professional way. We expect all learners to sign up to our code of conduct.
The relationship you have with teaching and support staff will be different from school and you will notice that the way in which you are taught is different. There will be more opportunity for research, home study, assignments and project work.
The only uniforms worn are within specialist areas (such as catering, hair and beauty etc). Timetabling is also different, where you will have individual tutorials as well as self study time. The amount of time you spend in a classroom or work environment, will vary from course to course.
We do monitor your work, and you will be given regular personal reports on your progress.
Who studies with us?
The College is a very popular choice with young adults. We have over 4,700 full time students, many of whom are teenagers coming to college straight from school.
The main difference is that we also have thousands of part time students, many of whom are adults gaining qualifications to support their current jobs or for career progression. We also welcome overseas and international students who come to study in the UK, and choose this lovely part of the country.
You will find a great mix of people, which means that our community is very vibrant, diverse and cosmopolitan. We have courses to suit all different levels and abilities, and work with every individual student to help you reach your goals.
