This really draws the goldfinches!
posted 5 years ago
I have posted tons of pictures of the yellow goldfinches eating the thistle seed. They are always here, enjoying themselves! They are so beautiful...The males and females sit on opposite perches and look like they are conversing.
The house finches also like this. There are many times when I have seen the male along with a goldfinch male. Kind of reminded me of boys night out! lol
This thistle seed is definitely worth the money for the beauty it brings to our back yard!
Pros: My little backyard birdies love it!
Cons: A little more costly but worth it

We all know that a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis and revised Mission Statement aren't enough to suffice as a "Strategic Plan". But, in today's fast-paced credit union environment, what topics should be part of your Strategic Planning Session? Should planning be an annual event or ongoing activity? Does an outside facilitator make it a better session and what if we can't afford one? Every credit union has different initiatives planned and underway that deserve attention at the strategic level. And, there are many ways to produce a productive strategic plan. "High priority" or "big ticket" items easily make the session agenda, but how much time, and ultimately resources, do you devote to some of your core operations? Topics such as succession planning, volunteer recruitment, regulatory compliance implementation, and personnel training. These less flashy operational items can often make the difference between having an effective strategic plan and one that "looked good on paper, but…" Don't let your Strategic Plan become an examiner finding, join us for an evening of learning and sharing as we highlight how to create a successful strategic plan!
Who Should Attend? Credit union supervisory committee members and board of directors. About the Presenter: Melia D.

Colorado was a ferocious rally. Congratulations on the win.
The first day was really fun. The second day wasn't so great when the rain came. That's too bad. They had to shorten the event. The first day was really fun, I have to tell you that.
That makes things interesting for Lake Superior.
If anything, the way it turned out, even with Tanner [Foust] in 2nd, it made the points really tight. Rally America couldn't have asked for anything better. If that hadn't happened – if I would have had a problem, if Andy [Pinker] had a problem – Travis [Pastrana] would have had such a big lead, it wouldn't have made the final race interesting at all.
Why #43?
It's actually a strange coincidence that I have really liked that number for a long time. I started using that number when I was racing motocross as a kid. And then as I started working in business, we needed a number for one of my former apparel companies. So we started using the number 43 because we had some athletic-like apparel. I continue using it – the fourth letter of the alphabet happens to be D and the third letter of the alphabet happens to be C. So in a random coincidence, it actually means DC [Block's shoe company].
It has nothing to do with Richard Petty then?
No, it doesn't. When I was a kid, someone told me that number 43 was the most common number in the world. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. For some reason I latched onto that number, and later on in my life, it coincided with my business.
Because of my placing in 2005, I had the opportunity to switch over to the number 4 in the Rally America Championship. But I'd been using the number 43 so much personally since I was younger that I decided to stick with it and try to make it a number that fans can associate with me as much as possible through my rally career.
That's like branding.
Yes, basically. I work a lot with motocross athletes with my job, and the motocross and super cross championships have done well in branding their athletes with their numbers and letting the guys keep their numbers around, sort of like NASCAR. It's been nice that Rally America has converted to that sort of system, so that we can build some equity in our numbers – Travis with his 199 and me with my 43. The fans want to know who the drivers are, and the biggest way to do that is the number.

You know, pre-law school, I figured the law re: rape was that if someone said no and you continued, that was rape. Turns out that's not true! You need nonconsent, yes, and sex, obviously, but you also need "force."
Now, I'd have thought that in the absence of consent force is required to get someone to do something. But huh, turns out that the "force incidental to sex" does not count as "force." (Though jurisdictions vary, obviously.)
So, I've been thinking about the media lately, as the title would indicate. And, I can't seem to make up my mind about something. On one hand, I look at all the satire and irony and think it's prepping for change. Or, more elegantly put, it's protest within the system. However, on the other, I think it's just part of the system; it has a symbiotic relationship with what it satires. As soon as the subject of the satire stops, so does it. And since this is the case, we're just caught in a vortex of cynicism and shallowness.
I really can't make up my mind on this. It seems to me that the satire hasn't really accomplished anything. SNL's been on since the 70s, and it's only gotten worse. What's the point of satirizing a shallow subject, like the way the media covers politics? Does it reveal problems or does it perpetuate a system by acting as an outlet?
So interesting. Couple of thoughts:
1. You say satire hasn't accomplished anything. Perhaps. Jon Stewart said once that satire has no effect on anything anyone says, and points to the fact that in the run-up to the Iraq War, The Daily Show was "highly skeptical" of the idea, and yet somehow we still invaded Iraq. True enough. Arguably, though, even if the effect isn't direct, it still changes the way we think about the media and the way we think about ourselves. So maybe POTUS doesn't watch SNL and make policy decisions based on that, but on the other hand, maybe satire reinforces our ideas about ourselves and our government, and maybe that effects how we vote, thus effecting governance/policy/"accomplishing" things. And we can't ever really know satire's effect, because we can't run a controlled experience with a parallel universe without Stewart et. al.
Furthermore, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and occasionally even SNL, crack me up. Particularly when the news is frustrating and/or makes me really angry, satire is a way for me to relax a little bit and laugh at it. Even if SNL/Stewart/Colbert/etc. aren't causing social change, isn't the fact that they make us laugh enough of an accomplishment? The "point" is just to make us laugh.
2. As to the cynicism point - yeah, I'm definitely with you on this. When Daily Show/Colbert did their Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, it felt so much like they were just mocking activism. Satire is kind of like the kid in the back of the class throwing spitballs at the admittedly ridiculous teachers, and that can make getting up to try and find a better teacher or class seem like a terrible, inefficacious idea. Satire works best when their is real anger about something going on, because there's something to vent about, and it's way to deal with that anger without exploding. When people are really trying to earnestly change the world, though, satire fails.
Basically, I agree, sometimes satire can mock earnestness and encourage cynicism. Much of the time, though, it just makes me laugh, and when I am angry, and need to stop screaming for a few minutes, satire gives me a way to vent.
My two cents.
President Obama (via barackobama)
It happens when POTUS says he supports gay marriage as it is obviously legal under 14th Amendment.

No worries, the rest of my class doesn't have legal integrity either, so the curve should help me out.
Just type up the Constitution word-for-word, then add:
"To answer all of these questions, just READ the Constitution and apply the PLAIN MEANING of the words. I mean come ON. Get a dictionary if you need to. Just use the plain/obvious/original meaning of the words. Stop being all judicial activist-y."
Then I'll slam down my laptop and storm out of the room.
My dad, when I told him for possibly the eight gabillionth time he should run for, uh, city council. Not quite POTUS, but whatever. (I have also told my mom to run nine gabillion times, for the record. She has a classier way of declining.)

Oh no my mom would totally be the better dictator. Also my mom would crush my dad in an election, which I think would be really fun, but evidently they disagree.

ETA: New 1 WTC will be 1776 feet tall. Think they planned that? ;)
Actually, I think the empty space was a great reminder of military power—and its limitations. 19 conspirators with very limited resources successfully attacked the most powerful nation on earth. We must concentrate on making peace, not spending endlessly on military.
(via maximummuskeg)
I absolutely believe military power absolutely is limited, that we are far too invested in our military, and that the true strength of the U.S. comes from "the enduring power of our ideals." But given that we invaded another country while there was a big whole in the ground, I'm not sure that the empty space really reminded us of our vulnerability.
I was in NYC in January 2008, when Ground Zero was a whole in the ground surrounded by fences and cranes. When I looked at it, I felt only sadness, a sadness wholly unconnected with American military might, but connected instead with watching TV on a Tuesday morning in my Spanish classroom, unable to tear my eyes from dark hair flying every which way on tiny, distant figures as they jumped from the tallest towers I'd ever seen.
The empty space was a reminder of tears and hugs and confusion and fear. Of sadness.
The tower says that yes, everyone is vulnerable to attacks, to smoke, to fire, to death, to fear, but not everyone can come back.
We will come back.
On Monday afternoon, wind-willing, one will.

Thanks to exams, I have been living in the library, 12th floor lounge, and various coffee shops around Boston. That means I haven't done laundry in forever, so I am stuck wearing one of my old Apple retail holiday t-shirts today, cheerfully urging everyone I see today to, "Wrap up your holiday shopping!"
But at least my hair is clean. It's the little things, you know?
My (wonderful) property prof's bailiwick is restitution (unjust enrichment), and turns out he's published a book called The Color-Blind Constitution, embracing the principle of racial neutrality rather than the anti-caste (that affirmative action is just as bad requiring black people to go to the back of the bus).
I kine of hope the students in his class about unearned privileges have to buy this book about how the Constitution requires we make no attempt to remedy past/current discrimination. Just for the irony.
The Reign of Wonderful Section B is over, folks! Done with classes for 1L year. After finals I'll post something about this year, but right now all I can manage is a kind of exhausted gurgle as i go back to outlining.
Our grand finale, by the way, was conlaw, and it was THREE HOUR LONG CLASS. Head currently swimming with Scalia-anger mixed with a dose of rational basis review and something about commerce among the several states.
Four exams and a writing competition. Here we go.
Legal citations will involve giving the name of the case, the jurisdiction, and the year, and I don't care what order you put them in, and forget this page number nonsense, no one uses the books.
And if you can't find the case given the name, jurisdiction, and year, too bad for you. Go back to law school.
Brief preface: I am generally opposed to navel-gazing, but you know what, this has been bugging me all week, I hopefully turn it outward a bit as well, and this is, after all, my blog. So, I am taking some time out from this exciting Saturday night spent knee deep in law school outlines to, uh, talk about this blog.
Last week, something sort of odd happened. I posted a link about the hypocritical views America tends to have of motherhood, and it exploded, with 4,480 notes as of this writing. These views on motherhood are, like everything else in our society, infused with racism, classism, and sexism. We value motherhood when it is occupied by white, more affluent women, but we do not when it is occupied by poor women of color.
I did not think this was a shocking observation. I thought about it like this: I sleep every day (or night, as the case may be). It is not news that I sleep every day. Everyone sleeps every night (give or take). Because it's not news, I don't really talk about it much. Similarly, it is blindingly obvious that racism, classism, and sexism (among other prejudices) permeate every part of American (and arguably global) life as privileged cling to power and a grapple with a fundamental fear, dislike, and distrust of an evidently insoluble "Otherness." Because it is blindingly obvious, i don't often point it out. I think that me saying every day, "Hey! Here's how I was affected by sexism today!" would be sort of boring, not particularly helpful, and not exactly noteworthy.
Sometimes, though, these prejudices become overwhelmingly salient in our national conversation, and I am reminded of the blindness of privilege, i.e. that those who have privilege are blind to the insult and injury they impose on those who do not.
That's how I felt during this whole Ann Romney-never-worked-a-day-in-her-life clusterfuck. As is per usual in politics, but is nevertheless frustrating, I felt horribly disgusted by and so alienated from this discussion around women, wealth, and race.
So when I posted that, I kind of just meant, "Hey, here's this thing that seems completely clear and without which you cannot begin to talk about sexism in America but which seems to be missing from a good 80 percent of our national conversation. So frustrating!"
I am sure many people read it as such. From some of the reblogs, however, I also saw people flip out on me with intensity I have not seen since I accidentally pissed off a Harry/Hermione shipper back when I worked for a Harry Potter fansite. But whatever, it's the internet, and frankly the Harry/Hermione shippers were meaner. Far more unnerving was the vitriol folks threw at people dealing with poverty, particularly poor people of color. I suppose it was naive of me not to expect that, but I basically figure this blog reaches friends, an occasional oh-that-post-was-interesting follower, and maybe an employer googling me before I am (hopefully) hired. I never expected it to reach "the internet" en masse. Nor did I expect to be used as in a political war. I didn't tag the post politics, because I didn't see how it had much to do with politics. Sure, this conversation was sparked by an inane comment by a CNN Democratic pundit and involved the GOP nominee's wife, but my point is not unique to one party or the other. Almost everyone views women of color in this way, stretching across ages, class, gender identity, and, I would argue, race. I got sort of annoyed when people reblogged that post with lines like, "Yeah, fuck Romney." My point was not about Romney, or Hillary Rosen, or any other operative. My point was about us. About Americans. About our agreed opinion about poor nonwhite mothers and rich white mothers. And about how that opinion is hypocritical, disrespectful, patronizing, controlling, and lacking a level of human decency every person is entitled to expect from our fellows.
I have two options: I can point out that opinion or I can be silent. Even though I am certain that thanks to confirmation bias nothing I say will change anything, and even though I am well-aware that sexism, racism, and classism are not news, sometimes, I get tired of saying silent.
Quick summary of outlines completed so far:
Conlaw: Something about Lochner. Also, Scalia is mad.
Crim: If defendant is black/poor/woman, s/he loses. Also, jurisdictions vary.
I think I'm ready!
I am sitting in a Starbucks outlining crimlaw and this fly kept buzzing around me, till I finally snatched it out of thin air.
Let me repeat that: I snatched a fly OUT OF THIN AIR.
You have no idea how disappointed I am no one in the Starbucks saw Ninja!Liz.
haleyleibovitz replied to your link: In which 25-year-olds are paid 180K/year plus bonuses
On that note…I have decided to entitle my memoirs, "Is Everyone Going to Law School But Me?"
Nah, they're not, Hales.
The top 10 fastest-growing U.S. industries (Hint: Think hot sauce) - The Washington Post (via wonklife)
Well, I like hot sauce, anyway. I suppose it could be worse.
When a rich woman wants to stay home with her kids, she's lauded, and parenting is called one of the hardest jobs you can do. When a poor woman wants to stay home with her kids, she needs to learn the "dignity of work." A rich, white woman who stays at home is a good mother. A poor, black woman who stays at home is welfare queen.
Where in the article did you find a way to pull the race card in this one? Wtf? And by the way, being a mother is not "work" per-se. It's labor, that's for sure. But it is not work. It is an obligation that you have to your children. It's no more "work" than breathing or taking a shit when you feel the need. I think Romney is using "work" as something that directly contributes to the improvement of the market and/or capitalist system.
I understand when people call it work and I don't correct them. But just know that it's not. At least not in the same sense of the word that Romney is trying to use. And if we use mom's standard of labeling work, then all life is work. So everything is work! Breathing is work. Sign me up for the welfare! /sarcasm
Well, so a couple of points:
1. Re: the "race card." I think it's generally a mistake to think about poverty in America without talking about race. Unlike, say, Jim Crow era, we don't generally denigrate black people in strictly race terms, but we use euphemisms. We talk about the "urban poor" and "welfare queens." I don't mean to say that poverty is restricted to minority groups - it of course isn't - but it is true that black people are far more likely to be poor than white people, and it seems to me that when the American public talks about people in poverty, we generally mean black people in poverty. I wasn't "pulling" the race card, because the race card is ever present in the U.S., in every discussion we have about money, power, and class.
2. I agree with you that staying at home is not equivalent to working for pay, although raising children is arguably much, much, much harder than any other occupation we could think of. My point was not that staying at home should be considered "work" for TANF purposes. That's another debate entirely. My point was that it is completely hypocritical that when we talk about affluent or middle class mothers staying home with kids we laud those women for being good mothers, but when we talk about poor mothers staying home with kids we call them lazy and think they need to go get a "real job." It's the hypocrisy that angers me.

Playing for Keeps
Starring Gerard Butler & Jessica Biel � Directed by Gabriele Muccino � PG-13, 106 min.
Neil Pond

Post a comment
Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel star in scrambled soccer-centric rom-com
In the spirit of the last-minute holiday scramble, here's a father-son heart-tugger wrapped around a mushy reconciliation rom-com sprinkled with the tinsel of shiny Hollywood supporting stars acting like they're in another movie entirely.
In "Playing For Keeps," Gerard Butler plays a retired Scottish soccer superstar, "King George" Dryer, now 56 and well past his prime, out of work and living in the Virginia hometown of his ex-wife (Jessica Biel) to be closer to their young son. Seeing his son's youth soccer team struggling, he reluctantly agrees to become their new coach.
This inspires the kids and thrills their moms, a sexed-up group of assorted minxes who are quite smitten by George's scruffy brogue, messy hair and buffed body.
The lusty ladies include Catherine Zeta-Jones as a former broadcast personality who's not above using her connections to get her legs wrapped around George. Uma Thurman is a rich socialite driven to extramarital exploration by her adulterous husband (Dennis Quaid). Judy Greer plays an emotionally needy divorcee prone to teary outbursts and stalking.
All three of these women are fine, credentialed actresses, and it's depressing to watch them in such one-dimensional parts with one thing on their one-track minds, chasing George and trailing clothes and dignity in the process. It's supposed to be funny, but there's something about it that's just sad.
Meanwhile, there's the whole "heart" of the story, the question of whether or not George will get back together with his ex-wife, Stacie, who's planning the final stages of her upcoming wedding to her new beau (James Tupper from TV's "Revenge" and "Grey's Anatomy," in another dismally under-developed part).
Jessica Biel fares better than any other female in the movie, thank goodness. At least she gets a back story, shows some resistance to George's meathead charm, and has moments that let her draw deep into emotional depths that the rest of the movie doesn't even try to reach.
Young Noah Lomax has several TV roles to his credits but makes his movie debut as George and Stacie's freckle-faced son, Lewis. He has several "awwww" moments, but the real draw of this chick flick is clearly Butler, who makes the women of the audience wait almost three quarters of the way through the movie before he walks out of a bathroom in a towel, showing off his abs.
"Playing For Keeps" has too many characters with too little to do. It doesn't know whether it wants to be a randy bedroom-hopping romp, a madcap romantic-misunderstanding rumpus, a touching drama about a dad and his son, or a quest for reunited love---all revolving around a soccer ball. And it squanders some upstanding actors and actresses in parts that don't do them, or their resumes, any favors.
But for people who buy movie tickets based on the prospect of seeing Gerard Butler without a shirt, well, I suppose none of that really matters.

State officials are pressing Charles County to back off a disputed development plan they contend would degrade a vital Chesapeake Bay tributary and open up swaths of farmland to sprawling housing projects.
The heads of 13 state agencies — who make up the O'Malley administration's Smart Growth "subcabinet" — called the county's draft growth plan "unsustainable" and warned it would violate state law and jeopardize future state funding for land preservation, community revitalization and road, water and sewer projects.
The plan is to be aired at a public hearing Tuesday evening before the county's five-member Board of Commissioners.
Once completely rural, Charles County evolved over the years into a Washington-area bedroom community of just more than 150,000 people. Charles now boasts Maryland's third-highest median household income.
Advocates of the new county growth plan argue it's intended to strengthen the economy and continue long-standing land-use trends.
"I do not think there's anything wrong with that plan or with the way the county has grown," said Reuben B. Collins II, vice president of the county board, but also said he had not made up his mind about whether to vote for it or seek some changes.
Critics contend the growth plan was drawn up by development interests and would degrade the county's natural resources and worsen traffic and school overcrowding. They say Charles has the longest commutes of any county in Maryland, the highest real estate taxes outside of Baltimore, and the most portable classrooms.
"We're for growth, but smart growth," said Ulysee Davis, a retired emergency medical technician who lives in the Bryans Road area, a developing, but still rural area that the proposed plan envisions becoming a "town" one day, with 8,000 more homes. "Don't come in and push over every tree and cover up every stream, the way they have done some of these developments."
Faced by lobbying from business and development interests favoring the growth blueprint and environmental and community activists opposed to it, the county commissioners are sharply divided.
"There's a lot at stake here," said Dru Schmidt-Perkins, executive director of 1000 Friends of Maryland, a Baltimore-based group that favors land preservation and compact development.
The outcome, she predicted, could affect growth decisions statewide, as officials in other rural counties chafe at state pressure to limit low-density development, especially after a 2012 state law restricted new housing using septic systems.
State officials fired off a letter to Cecil County's executive, warning they could block major new rural housing projects there that rely on septic systems, contending that the county's new growth map doesn't comply with that 2012 law.
Cecil County Executive Tari Moore believes the letter was based on some "misinformation" and said her staff is discussing the issue with O'Malley administration officials.
The controversy in Charles County comes after more than two years of discussion and debate. A compromise plan, worked out after a series of public meetings, would have focused growth around already developed areas such as Waldorf, an unincorporated "city" like Columbia in Howard County. The blueprint scaled back development possibilities in rural areas, especially around Mattawoman Creek, which state natural resources officials have called one of the bay's best fish-spawning tributaries.
Then a group called the Balanced Growth Initiative, which includes developers and land owners, proposed the plan now up for a vote, and the county planning commission endorsed it essentially unchanged.
Among its more disputed provisions is a renewed call for construction of a cross-county "connector" highway, a project long sought by county officials but which state and federal environmental regulators ruled out because of its potential to spur more development around Mattawoman Creek. The plan also reclassifies lands now located in an "agricultural conservation" district as being "rural residential."
"They're taking their plan backward," said Richard E. Hall, state planning secretary, who was among the agency heads who signed a letter to the county last month urging the plan be changed.
Hall and the other administration officials contend the Charles growth blueprint would open up for possible development 150,000 acres that are designated by the county for farming and rural conservation. More than 300 new large housing projects on septic systems could be built, state officials contend. This would generate far more nutrient pollution to foul the bay than if the development were built in designated growth areas, where sewage could be treated in state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plants, they say.
State natural resources officials also warned that Mattawoman Creek is already beginning to degrade under development that has occurred so far.
Candice Quinn Kelly, president of the county's board of commissioners, sides with the state, calling the growth blueprint "horrible" and "frighteningly irresponsible."

The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to be active at the NBA trade deadline this week, but it appears they are playing favorites when it comes to which trade chip they're comfortable with giving up and the one they want to hold ransom. According to Sean Deveney from Sporting News, the 76ers are asking the highest price for Thaddeus Young when it comes to the three players they've been shopping at the deadline.
Most notable among them is Evan Turner, the No. 2 pick in the 2010 draft, who is slated to be a restricted free agent this summer and has been given no indication that he fits into Philly's long-term plans.
Another free agent, center Spencer Hawes, is on the block, too, and though the Sixers are asking a higher price for forward Thaddeus Young, he, too, can be had.
This isn't too surprising as the Sixers have started to come around the Young more and more the longer he's been playing well. Still, all three players can be had at the deadline but if one of them is the most likely to stay, that now distinctly appears to be Young.

10 Must-Have Dorm Room Essentials
Back to School 2012
Chances are, when you move into a dorm, it's your first time on your own. It can be really exhilarating to shop for homewares and contemplate making your dorm your own, but it can also be overwhelming to a first-timer to know precisely what you'll need. Tack onto that the fact that you're limited to standard-issue furniture, cinder block walls, and a Twin XL, and it can start to feel impossible to make a dorm feel like home. So we've compiled ten essentials that will help you feel prepared and comfortable in your new digs.
1. Bedding: Chances are, your bed is going to be the largest piece of furniture, and since you won't be able to paint, I'd recommend getting a bright comforter or duvet cover as an easy way to add a punch of color or pattern to your space. And since you're stuck with a Twin XL, don't hesitate to avail yourself of all the colorful kids' bedding out there. Just because it's marketed for children doesn't mean that it's immature. Some of my favorites are this otomi-patterned duvet and Faculty Mixer bedding from Land of Nod, the orange geometric comforter from Target, and the Frankie duvet from Serena & Lily.
If you can't find anything you like that's suitable for a Twin XL, you can always move up to full-size bedding. The fitted sheet can sometimes cause problems though, so here are some good Twin XL sheet options: herringbone sheet set, urban ikat organic sheet set, Oxford stripe linens, and 400-thread count Egyptian cotton sheet set.
And finally, I suggest outfitting your bed with more pillows than you normally would. If you have your bed against a wall, you can use all those extra pillows to line the back, making it more like a sofa for when your friends come to hang out. Check Etsy for some great accent pillows, or make your own using punchy fabric and this no-sew pillow method.
2. Rug: Cold linoleum can verge on "institutional" really fast, so adding a rug is a quick way to really soften up your space and give it a more comfortable feel. Even if you don't have the space or money for a large rug, a small 2x3 by your bed will make all the difference. This bathmat is soft and luxurious enough to live in a bedroom as well.
3. Desk lamp: A lamp (or two) will keep you from straining your eyes during those all-night study sessions, and it will also make your place a lot cozier when you want to hang out at home without the harsh glare of fluorescent overhead lighting. This brushed steel droplet lamp is a great option, as is this cheery little yellow lamp.
4. Closet Storage Materials: You'll need some hangers, and I recommend a set of slim-line hangers since you probably won't have a ton of space in your college closet. Other things that can come in handy are jewelry organizers, modular storage cubes, or shoe pockets, but I really recommend waiting to purchase these items until you can see your closet space in person. It's much easier that way to figure out a system that will fit in the space that you have.
5. Kitchen Basics : My mini-fridge was a lifesaver when I was in college. I'd stock up on food during dining hall runs, and then I'd have plenty for times when the dining hall wasn't open or when I was too busy to go. A microwave was the other item that I used almost daily. Aside from that, have a plate or two, a couple of drinking glasses, a set of food storage containers (I love my IKEA Pruta set), and a small set of silverware. Some of my friends kept coffee machines or toasters in their rooms, but I never needed them, so go with what you think you'll be using most often.
6. Towels and Bath Caddy: Communal bathrooms can be a bit of a shock to the system, and while I can't prepare you for the types of weird behaviors you'll probably encounter, you can be prepared item-wise if you have a couple of towels (I like these soft, quick-drying towels), a bath caddy to tote your toiletries back and forth for showers, and depending on how (un)tidy your dorm-mates are, a pair of flip flops to wear while showering. The last item may sound alarmist, but trust me, there were some days that I was glad to not be stepping in the hair and grime of ten other girls.
7. Laundry Bag: I really like this canvas duffle bag's classic look and easy-to-carry design. Another good option is this pop-up hamper that has side pockets to carry your detergent and laundry sheets.
8. Cleaning Supplies: The bright side of a small space is that you won't have need for a lot of cleaning supplies. A Swiffer, broom, or mini stick vacuum should do the trick. And keep some disinfecting wipes, dust cloths, and magic erasers around for some quick tidying. As an added treat, I kept a bottle of this linen spray around, which doubled as an air freshener and kept things smelling clean.
9. Fan: This will depend on where you go to school obviously, but as a college student living in a dorm without air conditioning, you could barely pry me away from my clip-fan.
10. Artwork: This is where your space can really, truly become your own. Forgo the stereotypical college posters and start your own collection of art. There are some really affordable options on Etsy. Right now I'm loving the work of Vivienne Strauss, Clare Elsaesser, and, for a bit of fun, Angela Rossi. You may not be able to use nails or screws if you have cinder-block walls like I did, but Command strips or hooks are generally sufficient enough to support the weight of a basic frame. Frames will really elevate the look of your room, taking it from traditional college to homey chic.

aww the herringbone sheet set from Target already appears to be gone :'(
One hates to bring the tone down, but my one piece of advice for freshers is to up-size your bedding. Good for movie nights, cold nights, and 'sharing' nights.
I think a electric kettle would be a good add too, for oatmeal or instant grits or hot chocolate. For a rug, we actually went to a carpet store and bought a large remnant. It wasn't bound on the edge but we cut it to fit the room and it was cheaper than a rug. I just tossed it after that year. Don't forget to get at least 2 - 4 stackable, non-breakable plates, glasses and silverware for in-room dining. My freshman year roommate and I also coordinated our colors so our room looked good. I had pink and white bedding and she had pink and black. We couldn't nail into the walls so we used the sticky hooks for hanging stuff.
I have that print of the girl in the ocean and I cannot express just how beautiful it really is in person.
rubber flip-flops in the shower? not alarmist. completely normal and smart. forget hair and grime - fungi, people. i showered in a dorm from age 14-22, and i wore flip-flops every one of those years because I SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T.
Great list! :-)
I've lived in dorms and on-campus apartments ever since starting my undergrad in 2006. Residence isn't for everyone, but those who love it love it ... I'm a PhD student now, and the thought of leaving is a bit of a nightmare. It's so much easier living on campus when you're holding weird laboratory hours, and my university's cafeteria is simply AMAZING!
A couple comments on the list ...
1) Desk Lamp - in my experience, most rooms come with desk lamps, so it's not absolutely necessary. That said, many dorms are older, and lighting is not always fantastic - wait until you get into your room, get settled, and then decide whether or not you want another lamp.
2) Kitchens - All my dorms have had a kitchen for general use. While I would recommend a little beer fridge (just enough to keep milk, yoghurt, and booze in), you /should/ have access to a microwave through the Common Room. Again: don't buy anything until you arrive and see what's already there.
3) Bathrooms - sometimes they're great, sometimes they're horrible! Either way, pack a pair of shower sandals (flip-flops) and a housecoat for going back-and-forth from your room to the shower. A bath caddy will, literally, save your life!
4) Cleaning supplies - again, things like a vacuum and basic broom set /should/ be supplied by residence, and available in the Common Room. Some rags and a bottle of Vim will go a long way; don't worry about any fancy cleaning supplies.
5) Artwork - agreed! You can really have fun and spiff-up your room! (Or your laboratory!) Don't forget pictures of your family/friends ... being homesick is to expected, and it's always nice to have a picture of grandma/grandpa on the desk :-)
My room essentials:
- A tea kettle and a big, cozy pottery mug
- A rack for drying clothes on -- saves you laundry money!
- A folding camp chair - more comfortable for watching movies in, and good for company
- A sleeping bag, just in case you have guests
- Slippers
- A houseplant -- every room should have something alive in it! (Your zombie-like roomie doesn't count!)
Great post! First-year students will probably have meal plans at most colleges, but as an upperclassman I added a can opener, frying pan, saucepan, and pancake turner to my kitchen arsenal.
I agree with @enialedam about adding a rack for drying clothes-- it'll save money and energy, and help your clothes last longer.
Beyond the stuff that a woman may love in the kitchen and on the walls, I would suggest cord wrappers for all that computer stuff that litters the desks and a giant laundry hamper and waste basket that picks up clothes/garbarge too. :)
PS If you have an older family member moving into a smaller space, the college dorm room practical items are just wonderful.
At the beginning of each year at my college, there'd be temporary on-campus tent stores for posters and rugs. I think the "rugs" were large remnants of industrial carpeting. They were perfect for dorms.
Ditto to SHOEDAYDREAMS' kettle suggestion. Most of us start out in rooms without their own kitchen, and I think that microwaves are usually banned from individual rooms for fire safety. Having a hot pot (and small cutting board and knife) allowed me to enjoy ramen noodles at all hours in the comfort of my own tiny room.
My freshman year room was so small that the only seating was our two desk chairs (our beds were lofted), so we kept a couple of collapsable tailgate chairs in our closet. I think our friends actually enjoyed having a chair with a cupholder when they came over.
My 17 year old son is going to boarding school, he'll have his own room with bed, wardrobe, desk & sink, communal showers & toilets. They have a lounge area with a kitchen. Thanks for the great tips here, like showering with flip flops. I never had that problem in my student years, but I guess times have changed.
Re: #8 "linen spray"
A better/cheaper version....fill a clean spray bottle halfway with the most inexpensive vodka you can find, usually on the literal bottom shelf. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water. Add in drops of essential oil for fragrance if desired. Use like the $8.95 version.
I really have to nix that style of laundry bag- I lived in a pretty small dorm where I only had to schlep laundry down 4 flights of stairs, and the shoulder strap on my bag like that broke only a few months into the semester. Open baskets may show your skivvies to anyone you pass in the hall, but at least they're sturdy!
? Strange... in undergrad (at Rutgers U) all the dorm rooms were equipped with microfridges with attached microwaves. For some reason I am under the impression that the electric kettle is more likely to be a banned item. o.O
Agree with everything on the list, plus the addition of the electric kettle, which is very useful. My kids had work study jobs that started very early, before the dining hall opened, so with the kettle they could fix themselves oatmeal and tea for breakfast before they left.
Although we bought them each a pop-up mesh hamper/laundry bag, they ended up using those giant blue nylon IKEA shopping bags to carry their laundry back and forth. Very sturdy and only 59 cents. What a deal.
And I will add a small whiteboard/dry erase monthly calendar, too.They used those 3M removable stickers to adhere them to the wall above their desks. Very handy.
Take a hammer, a screwdriver, and a roll of duct tape. I used them AND made friends immediately in the dorm loaning mine out.
Nooo, don't buy the IKEA Pruta tupperware. I bought them when I first moved out and all the tops warped like crazy, thus not being able to fit anymore. Unless you want to hand wash all your tupperware, then you'll be fine I suppose.
Pyrex sells a 10-piece glass tupperware set on amazon for less than $20. No warps and no food stains like plastic.
These are great choices for back to college essentials! We especially like the idea of the linen spray that can double as an air freshener! That's something that's extremely important in a dorm room with limited space, having only the necessities and if those necessities can be dual purposed, even better!
Lumbar support! At least in my current dorm the desk chairs are hard, wood deals. A cushion on the bottom and one shoved against the back helps with back pain after long hours at the desk.

Of course this may seem simple to a lot of you but I keep seeing this question so I thought I'd post it for the Google monster to help others. When you open the Bulk Insert Task for example, the DestinationTable is a drop-down box. This is fine except in the scenario where you must point to a table that was created in an earlier step of the control flow. To do this, just leave the DestinationTable property blank after configuring the rest of the task. Click OK and you'll notice a red icon on the task where it looks like it has an error due to lack of configuration. Select the task and go to the Properties pane. Now, you can set the DestinationTable property through the pane by typing in the table that will be created in the future. After you set that property in the pane, the red icon disappears and you're ready to roll.
This works for almost any property with almost any task or connection.

I am reading the post on black characters in comics, and all I can think as I read the author's praise of Hudlin's elevation of black characters is that his treatment of Monica Rambeau via T'challa made and still makes me hop up and down in a shrieking rage whenever I think too much about it. He did nothing to "elevate" her. He took a character who grew from a newbie to a leader of the Avengers and an all around smart, compassionate, witty badass and put her in a position where she only existed to be bossed around by T'challa so that other men (and occasionally women) could comment on his command prowess. Maybe she got more visibility out of the deal, since her only recent appearance (to my memory) at the time had been in Nextwave, but she was sacrificed to a sexist attitude to get that, and I can't fucking support that.

For many adults, one of the most enduring memories of growing up is the humiliation of PE class. Being among the last picked for basketball or stalling out halfway up the rope climb shattered self-confidence and self-esteem. Not being able to complete push ups or coming in near last in the mile run invited taunts and teasing.
"A lot of people were turned off to exercise and fitness at a young age," says Ken Reed, director for the Center for the Advancement of Physical Education, part of PE4Life, a Kansas City, Missouri organization that promotes youth fitness. "Unfortunately, we are seeing the repercussions in obesity rates and an overall lack of fitness."
Add to this budget cutbacks for PE programs over the last decade—as schools have pushed academics—combined with kids spending more time at the computer and television, and it isn't difficult to understand why so many people are so out of shape. "Too many school districts have refocused on the head rather than the whole child," says George Graham, a professor of kinesiology at Penn State University and past president of The National Association for Sport and Physical Education.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General's office, 13 percent of children ages 6 to 11 and 14 percent of adolescents ages 12 to 19 were overweight in 1999. Childhood obesity has nearly doubled for adolescents in the past 2 decades—leading to Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and an array of other ailments. Moreover, 70 percent of overweight adolescents become overweight or obese adults.
It's a weighty problem. But now some organizations and schools are leaping into action. They're taking another look at physical education classes and reinventing them to emphasize fun and fitness. "People are realizing that the old model, which emphasized competition, wasn't successful. It is essential to get kids involved in some vigorous physical activity every day," Reed says.
Dancing, juggling, fencing, indoor rock climbing, unicycle riding, yoga, and cycling are just a few of the activities gaining in popularity at schools across the U.S. In many cases, the goal is to teach skills rather than sports; teamwork rather than competition. For example, at Kamehameha School in Maui, Hawaii, youngsters engage in intense rope jumping, croquet, Frisbee and orienteering. At Verde Elementary School in Boca Raton, Florida, urban hiking is part of curriculum.
In some instances, physical education instructors are turning to heart rate monitors instead of stop watches. For example, in Naperville, Illinois, Madison Junior High School now uses heart rate monitors to measure the intensity level of exercise. In 1988, physical education instructor Phil Lawler measured a young girl's performance in a mile run. She walked and ran the distance in 12 minutes, which most observers would consider a failure. However, her heart rate reached 187 beats per minute—which indicated that she was exerting maximum effort.
That caused Lawler and others to rethink the traditional concept of physical education and performance. Today, he has kids grab a heart rate monitor when they begin class and they track performance over days, weeks and months using PDAs and special software. Teachers grade students on their individual effort level and improvement and kids receive charts and printouts.
Programs such as Naperville's empower young people to lead healthier lives," Reed explains. He notes that a growing number of school districts are also introducing variations of team sports to reduce idle time and ensure that all participants remain active. Instead of putting a group of kids in a game of 11 on 11 football, they're paring the numbers down to 3 or 4 players per team and altering the rules to make the games faster paced and more enjoyable.
One example of the changing mindset is "Navy" football. There's no scrimmage line or quarterback, and teams consist of only three to five players. Participants advance the ball by tossing it to another teammate. When a player drops a ball the other team gains possession and goes the other way. When a player is tagged by an opponent, he or she must pass the ball. The action is ongoing and the excitement level usually reaches a fevered pitch.
According to some recent studies, one of the advantages of vigorous exercise is that it helps students relax and learn better. In Naperville, for instance, students typically take their most difficult academic class right after PE. Equally important: when students recognize the importance of fitness and find ways to make it fun and rewarding, they are more likely to engage in exercise their entire life.
Says Graham: "There is a physical education revolution going on and it is having a positive impact on fitness. The more enjoyable and positive the experience, the greater the odds that a person will stay fit for life."

Frameline37: The 2013 San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival
Frameline is bringing the 37th San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival to screens around the city starting tomorrow! The festival is the longest-running and the most widely recognized LGBT film exhibition event in the world. The theme for this year's festival is Films Bring Us Together, with the belief that—whether a theater's bursting with laughter or with a tearful standing ovation—the art of LGBT cinema builds and strengthens community.
The festival will screen around 240 films from 29 countries, and will also bring some of the most festive parties of Pride month, where filmgoers can mingle with filmakers, actors, artisans, marketers, and cinephiles visiting from all over the world.
Special events include the provocative opening film Concussion—writer-director Stacie Passon's drama about a wealthy lesbian housewife whose straight-laced lifestyle takes a drastic and rebellious turn after a head injury. The closing night film brings Darren Stein's G.B.F, a comedy about a recently outed gay teen navigating his new popularity among the high school structures. Both nights also conclude with their own fantastic afterparties.
In addition, 7X7 is proudly sponsoring the screening of Something Real at the iconic Castro Theatre—a collection of documentary shorts about gay men and their art of music—which includes the short film Open Letter about the affirming online reaction to hip-hop singer-songwritter Frank Ocean's coming out. Come join 7x7 on June 27th at 1:45 pm at the Castro!
Frameline37 runs Thursday, June 20th through Sunday, June 30th. For complete information, visit frameline.org.

:: Taurus Starsign Alliance FC Newsletter ::
Hey there minna-san!
You already know our club has cards, in fact you are receiving this newsletter cuz your request is between nr.1 to 58,
but what you don't know yet, is that Taurus Cards are a little changed now, as well 6 new ones have been added to the whole list of choice.
Now, if you'd like to request an extra card from the six new ones, you can do that, but don't edit the post you've already made!
'Cuz we prepared a specified topic for extra requests, so if you want an extra, you can ask for it in this topic.
Althought, it's important that you keep your previous obtained number, so check your already received card to see what was your number / or check the regular cards topic if you don't remember it!
However, keep in mind that the topic to request an extra card will be opened only for a couple of weeks, starting from now. It will eventually close on October 13th, at the end of the day.
That said, say thanks to Ayumu which is helping greatly the club by delivering the cards from now on :3
Also, if any taurus character that you know is still missing to our club's list, please tell us about him and his details here!
Once again, i hope you like the brand new cards, and the little addon and few changes on the old ones
Have fun and enjoy ur stay in the club!

Cabal seems interesting too :D
I'll try playing it as soon as I make space on my computer, I have bunch of unnecessary stuff and I'm too lazy to delete them <.<
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-05-11, 6:10 AM
I know, right. We also don't have paypal. Stupid country.
Well, if you wanna play Touhou games I suppose you should from the first one. The first five games were made for PC-98 but they're very interesting and entertaining. My favorite was definitely The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, the sixth one, cause even though they are the evil ones, Scarlet sisters (especially Flandre) are my favorite Touhou characters. That was the first game released for Windows so it was much better than the first five. :D
I think I've seen advertisement on some site but I don't know anything about the game. How is it?
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-05-11, 4:28 AM
Oh gosh, I saw that picture somewhere, the game seems so much fun :D
I don't play much games, I usually like MMORPG cause it's kinda fun to play online, but I've played most of Touhou games and they're really good.
I wanted to start playing some games like that but I don't have much time or wish to play honestly. Every game I played made me bored after a couple of hours.
Catherine, on the other hand, seems really interesting. If I could buy/download it somewhere I totally would. Too bad I can't order it online, they usually don't deliver stuff to my country.
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-02-11, 2:37 PM
Sorry, I'm not quite sure what are you asking actually. XD
I only download anime from warez-bb (I think it doesn't work currently but try later). You can find there almost every anime in HQ/LQ, with 720p/400p/360p, .mkv/.mp4/.avi files, dual audio and the most important - mini HQ (.mkv files with maximum 70-80mb per episode and HQ video, usually 720p). It's way better than downloading those 720p episodes which are 300-400mb via torrent.
You can even download JDownloader which downloads files automatically and you only need to add the links. Well, the only problem is captcha, you need to add it yourself (only if needed of course, for some reason it recognizes only that simple captcha from megaupload), but still, it saves so much time.
If you can't find something there you can try AnimeTake and AnimeTake Forums
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-02-11, 9:47 AM
I prefer anime that was made after 2000. However, I don't mind older anime as well. If the story is really, really good I'm going to watch it even if it's from 1975 :D
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-02-11, 9:07 AM
Eh, so I heard many times that it is a let down yet still I want to watch it. I'm silly, I know.
Hahah, I rewatched Chobits 2 times too :D
I have downloaded DearS long time ago but I still haven't watched it. Dunno why though, I just find something more interesting I guess.
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-02-11, 5:48 AM
I know, right. It's kinda sad, all that wasted potential! I mean I always see the first episode and think "Man, this is going to be awesome!" but no, it never is. I should stop expecting something good, maybe then I'll enjoy not-so-good series.
Well, I kinda expected that, it only has 11 episodes. I suppose it would be so much better if it had 20 or maybe even more. I didn't watch xxxHolic but I did Chobits and it was awesome. I also plan on watching Tsubasa Chronicles cause I find the story interesting, but other Clamp series don't seem very appealing.
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-01-11, 4:14 PM
They say Working! is like "when you bake a cake, and you've god all the ingredients but it still doesn't turn out well", or something like that. I wanted to watch it because it seems cute but not now, maybe someday. I don't mind ecchi but I prefer for it to have some story, not like Ichiban Ushiro which had a good story just in 2-3 last episodes. I mean seriously, he comes to school, ecchi ecchi ecchi, that demon lord-dragon stuff at the end (I've already forgot what was it about). I remember being pissed cause it had so much potential, haha.
Well, so far I like Hanasaku Iroha, Ano Hana, Steins;Gate and C. However, I've completed only Ano Hana. I've watched only 2-3 episodes of other anime I mentioned two sentences before, so I don't really have an impression of them. I need to watch more but there are other series that interest me. Like Kuragehime or Candy Boy, Junjou Romantica etc. I just hope I'll complete everything till September cause then the school starts and I won't have so much time.
AkageNoFujoshi | 08-01-11, 11:28 AM
Well, that sucks :/ I just hope you didn't see everything.
I know, right. That happens all the time. Last year's spring season for example, the only good anime was Angel Beats!, the rest of them were... meh.
AkageNoFujoshi | 07-31-11, 3:29 PM
Aww, poor you! I hate it when that happens! But maybe they aren't going to follow manga. I think in Nana they didn't, at least that's what a friend of mine said. Ikoku Meiro no Croisee is on my ptw list, I can't wait to start it :D
Hell yeah! I've watched 3 episodes but I'm going to wait for the rest of them to air. It's awesome so far, really got me interested and hooked, and not a lot of anime can do that.

Thank you :3 Yeah, I know, it's the same here too. But I kinda prefer rain over sun. It's not so hot and it makes me all sleepy and cuddly XD
I don't know, I kinda prefer longer anime because the ones with 12 episodes (or less) seem kinda rushed and I can't enjoy them as much as the ones with 24 episodes.
I heard Usagi Drop is awesome, and I'm interested in it but I'll wait until it finishes airing. :)
Oh, Katanagatari! I wanted to watch that but a month is way too long. I'm going to download it as soon as my laptop starts working. This morning I woke up and I couldn't turn it on. It does that sometimes.

Nice :D
I'm good. Kinda sick even though it's summer, but good. Well, I have interest in some anime but I'm going to wait until more episodes come out, I don't like watching one episode per week. How about you? :3

Hello there :3
Shikune here, you probably don't remember talking with me but that's okay XD

Do you like having your testicles touched, tickled or teased while recieving oral?
I've heard that guys love their balls being caressed, tickled and teased during oral sex. I want to try this out, but I don't want to freak him out. Is this weird or does it show that the lady has great technique up her sleeve? Keep in mind that he is inexperienced. Is this kinky? Or hot?
What's Your Opinion?

I love it. They are very sensitive and It feels great for me to have them touched. Having them licked feels really good too.
I simply love having them tickled ...I probably like it more than the oral sex part.
It's great! I'm sure your counterpart will apreciate the extra thought!
yes guys love their balls being caressed, tickled during oral sex.

Hey, yea, they like it. He'd certainly like it. Lick them teasingly, suck the balls, caress with your finger gently. He would have a better hard on and you a good fu--k. It is hot because it is kinky. Do it. He'd love and fu***k you more dearie.

Kansas City, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Reigning MVP LeBron James dropped 20 points in less than 25 minutes as the Miami Heat downed the Charlotte Bobcats in preseason action, 86-75, at Sprint Center.
Norris Cole and Michael Beasley deposited 15 and 13 points, respectively, off the bench for Miami, which remained undefeated in three preseason contests. Mario Chalmers had 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor and Udonis Haslem grabbed 11 rebounds.
Charlotte's Al Jefferson scored a team-high 11 points to go with seven rebounds before leaving the game in the third quarter with an apparent sprained right ankle. The former Jazz big man inked a three-year, $40.5 million contract with the Bobcats this summer.
Jeff Taylor, who emerged as Sweden's best player at EuroBasket this summer, added 10 points off the bench for the Bobcats.
Miami outscored the Bobcats 24-14 in the second quarter to pull ahead, holding Charlotte to 6-for-17 from the field in the period.
