Motivational for each day
By Ammie
from Spokane WA
Needed a calm and serene picture to remind me of all that is possible each and every day. It is choices that we make to enrich life's journey daily.
Peaceful Journey
By Rabbit Lady
from Vinita, Oklahoma
This will be hung in my office to help inspire others to continue on when things seem impossible. It has such an easy flow with the road and the colors are peaceful and beautiful.
Hairpin curve inspiration.
By Thistledown2
from The Michigan Mitten!
07/12/13 The poster depicts a fall day on a winding road. It's a "journey" inspiration picture and I thought it was just right to give as a gift to someone who is making a big change in their lives. Change can be just like the sharp hairpin curves depicted in the scene.

As I sat down to start writing my review for today, I realized I have a bunch of books in the queue that I just don't have a lot to say about. They all happen to be fiction, which is probably because I'm out of practice writing fiction reviews. I also didn't take take any notes on these books, which made writing long reviews impossible.
I kept all of these to two paragraphs (super short for me!), so if you have more specific questions about any of the books, leave them in the comments and I'll answer them as soon as I can.

Bill Gaither Still Carves Out New Audiences for Gospel Music
- Wednesday, January 14, 2004
Wittrock said gospel music is more than just music — it's ministry. "The songs touch me deeply," she said. "If I'm having a bad day, listening to gospel music lifts me up and keeps me focused on Christ."
She has had cause to have more than one bad day in the past year. On Dec. 13, 2002, doctors diagnosed Wittrock with breast cancer. It was the same day she was planning to attend a Gaither Homecoming concert in St. Louis.
"I never considered not going," she said. "Being with thousands of other Christians, singing and praising the Lord was good medicine. It also gave me strength to face the reality of what I was going to have to go through. The concert helped to calm some of my fears and reminded me God was in control."
During the next several months, though, she said she had a hard time finding comfort even in gospel music — until she saw a couple of the Gaithers' latest videos which focused on the themes of "heaven" and "going home."
"When the doctors tell you that you have stage two or three cancer, who doesn't start thinking about heaven and going home?" Wittrock asked. "I believe my name is on those two videos because they blessed me so much, and finally I had peace of mind. Once I found that peace, I could deal with the doctors and treatment, and I got through it fine."
Gaither's music not only ministers to the hurting, it also appeals to younger generations. "Listen to the most recent form of Southern gospel music before you pass judgment," Alberts, 31, said, noting many of her friends say she listens to "old-fashioned" music. "Check out David Phelps and Guy Penrod [of the Gaither Vocal Band] — they're not bad for 'old men.'"
Penrod said today's gospel music is blending the sound of the old 1940s and '50s quartets and pop groups with the technology of the current generation. "Kids are starting to hear that and say that's cool," he said. "We're growing a new generation in gospel music, and Bill is helping to do that with the concerts and videos."
And he shows no sign of slowing down. In his mid-60s, Gaither keeps an active schedule with his Gaither Vocal Band, Homecoming concerts, the annual Praise Gathering and the management of everything in between. "I work together as a team with Gloria," he said. "We have no long-range plans for retirement; we never have. We just walked through the doors God has opened."
Fans can read more about the Gaithers and their journey into gospel music history in Bill's new autobiography, "It's More Than the Music" (Warner Faith) now in bookstores nationwide.

Bahay: Grand Opening Party Tonight
Bahay, a new design studio, is opening in Culver City. There is an opening celebration party tonight (May 9th) at the store: 3825 Main Street, Culver City, 90232.
The press release can be read below the fold.
(Every Tuesday, there is a Farmer's market on Main Street so the street will be closed. Please park in the Cardiff Parking Structure on Cardiff Street, one block West of Main Street, between Venice Blvd. and Culver Blvd.)
Bahay means home in Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines. It is the idea of home that inspires the creators of Bahay, who believe a home should consist of not only wonderfully made furniture, but art and accessories which create an environment that is a reflection of one's true personality and style.
Bahay features their own contemporary designs as well as pieces inspired by modern furniture masters of the 20th century. Bahay's Furniture is made using the best techniques such as mortise and tenon joinery coupled with natural raw materials and exotic hardwoods, resulting in beautifully crafted products at reasonable prices.
In addition, Bahay offers a Bespoke Furniture Service, which allows clients to customize designs for their home. Bahay will assist clients from the conception of the design all the way to the finished product.
Beyond unique furnishings, Bahay showcases artwork by celebrated contemporary artists from around the globe including Kevin Ancell, Chad Attie, Andrew Cramer, Melinda Hackett, Britt Michaelian, Peter Tunney, and Edwin Wilwayco.

Bahay. Nice name. Well since I was born in the PI, I might just head out to the opening to represent. Press release doesn't state what time the festivities begin. Any idea?
Alec- Do you have a number to post so we can find out what time the opening starts?
I want to swing by as well...
Enrique- maybe I will see you later...
Turquoise: It's a date then. Alec, are you coming? Any others interested?
[PS to Turquoise. Nice interview on Holly's Decor8 site!]
The opening is from 6 to 9!
i was just talking about opening an import store with my cousin named "bahay" a few months ago! grr. i need to act on my random ideas.
Enrique - thank you!
I am going to get there closer to 7:30-8:00.
Hope to see you!
[Hey Turquoise. Sorry I missed you. I ended getting there just after 6pm and left shortly after 7p. I loved the store; did you? I went straight from work and didn't have my camera. Hopefully, you captured some good pics...]
Bahay is everything I'd hoped it would be. I've always loved the exotic woods, capiz, mother of pearl, linens, silks, and primitive folk art of the Philippines. But much of what gets imported into the US is cheesey and tacky--mostly the poorly-made merch that is produced for tourists. Bahay takes these native materials and adds a sexy, contemporary sheen to them. The furniture is clean-lined, modern and looked to be very well-made. The prices are very good--especially for the wood pieces, which are especially reasonable given the quality. Also, I loved that the store stocked a lot of primitive folk-art pieces. I ended up buying a small, primitive stone Tao-Tao statue and a modernist egg made of exotic Kamagong wood. (If I can resolve my email issues, I'll post a pic of my purchases on the Flickr slideshow.) Owner Kana Manglapus was a charming hostess and extended generous discounts tonight on many of the floor models. Bottom line: if you feel like breaking out of the DWR/Room and Board box and adding some *authentic* modern exoticism into your design mix, Bahay is definitely worth checking out.
Enrique- what a bummer I missed you!
I had a great time, met a bunch of people and the space was much more than I expected.
And yes pics are being posted soon, my camera is always on hand!

PLAYERS: Paul Soliai, Cameron Wake, Randy Starks
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New York Jets
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New York Jets
The Miami Dolphins' front four looks to be the strength of the Dolphins' defense again in 2013. While the end position could have the duo of Pro Bowler Cameron Wake and the first player defensive player taken in this year's draft, the heart and soul of the defensive front will rest on the interior. Paul Soliai (96) and Randy Starks (94). (Photo: MiamiDolphins.com) It's hard to bring up Paul Soliai without mentioning Randy Starks and vice versa. Last season, the two anchored a run defense that was near the top of the league for much of the season before teetering off at the end. Soliai, a run-stuffer at 340 pounds, made just 29 tackles a season ago, but eight went for a loss. What Soliai brings to the Dolphins will be hard to measure statistically, but he's a tough guy to block in the middle. Soliai will likely give the Dolphins this season much of what he's given them over his six-year career, push in the middle to free up linebackers to make pla...

- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love the high ceiling and stature of our bedroom. I also love the original woodwork and period details in the crown moldings, ceiling medallion, fireplace, pocket doors with etched glass, parlor mirror and window shutters.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- I always value a good night's sleep. For me, the bedroom has to be relaxing and comfortable with little or no reminders of anything stressful. TVs, computers, electronic devices, paperwork, clutter - all these keep you in an anxious state of mind. I try to keep these away, especially at night. Restful lighting. Aromatherapy.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- When my husband and I moved that sofa from our living room into the bedroom, we were just giving it a temporary place while I set it up for sale on Craigslist. It has since been greatly appreciated and enjoyed. We have breakfast in it while listening to the morning news on the radio. Drenched in natural light, we find it perfect for reading, playing music, tea, coffee, napping, or just snuggling and catching up. Looks like we have found the perfect place for it. And it is staying, indefinitely.

I had to pick my jaw up off the floor before I could comment. I would kill for a place with that much gorgeous detail and historical character. SWOON.
Holy cow, that woodwork! The whole space is an incredible canvas, and you've done such a nice job with it. The sofa was an excellent call.
That woodwork makes me want to cry. So spectacular. And that etched glass!
Love the space and the green monster inside me kind of hates you.
I thought this was an international entry. This house is really gorgeous and amazing.
I bet ya those wood work can cost more than a lot of houses.
THOSE DOORS!!!! Yep, totally jealous!
Amazing woodwork and moldings. So beautiful. Only thing I don't like is the NYC print above the bed. This room deserves better. Sigh. Carolyn - you can sometimes pick up very affordably priced oil paintings etc from Christie's Interior Auctions at Rockefeller Center.
My favorite thus far. You do have an unfair advantage with all that wood, but the manner in which you've decorated your bedroom is pretty spectacular too! ;)
This is the best one by far. The woodwork is gorgeous!!
I agree with the others...the doors are so beautiful!
This is incredible, and I thought my house had good woodwork! Would love to see the rest of your gorgeous home.
I just want to make a clear counterpoint to all those on this site that keep saying "paint the woodwork." Painting this woodwork would definitely decrease the value of this space.
Btw. - What do the etched glass doors lead to?
I want to see more of the woodwork! Absolutely beautiful! The room is okay but the doors are what steals the show. Not sure how to vote or if I will vote for that though.
Egads! That's a bedroom? The detail, the wood, that door!
I think my current apartment will fit in there!
Holy crap, that door. Is there anything else in the room? Because I just see a beautiful door.
Well hello Hoboken! The light is gorgeous. Sometimes rooms with dark stained woodwork can be a bit too dark, cold and old looking. The color choices and the fact that some of the woodwork is painted helps brighten and warm the space. Lovely.
Wow, that woodwork! What a stunning place you live! Gorgeous!
Gasp. I think I'm in love.
Yes, those doors, that fireplace, = added my vote.
@LBoyes: Totally agree that it would be criminal to paint this woodwork, BUT so much wood is not nearly as nice. Beat up old oak and pine needs paint, unless it's a really fine piece of furniture (or floors).
WHERE IN HOBOKEN IS THIS?! Amazing details!
I second the "wow" and "stunning." Gorgeous!
I love everything inside your room.....the way you decorate it......so "WOW" and so "gorgeously beautiful". That door and the wood floor, so gorgeous.You're such a talented one.I always love all your creations.Congrats:)
Beautiful! Love the color pallete and the way you accessorize your bedroom. Wonderful balance between light and dark, vintage and modern. A warm and inviting space to relax at the end of a busy day. Well done!
Thank you for your comment, rmpc78. The print above the bed is temporary. I just did not want a big blank space there while my husband's promised oil painting is in the works. If you notice there is already a white primed canvas above the fireplace, ready to be painted. If you want a glimpse of some of my husband's oil paintings, I managed to pull up a 2007 post on AT's Reader's Art featuring our home : http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/readers-art-car-16901
@britabroad : Thanks. A couple of old posts featuring our home on AT :
@LBoyes : The etched glass pocket doors lead to the Living and Dining area.
@rmbnn : Thank you for your vote.
@Lauren C., we are on Hudson Street. Thanks!
I've been here countless times and every time I am amazed at how beautiful it is.
And how you put them all together - light, colors, fixtures, accessories is equally impressive. Looking forward for my next visit... as always.
@CarolJ-where are the nightstands from? Love them!
@LisaMarie7713 I got the nightstands/shelves from Bombay Company more than a decade ago. Thanks!
are you stinking kidding me with those doors???? <3
Super Like !!!
um, swooning over those bones. this is going on in hoboken?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Drakkenfyre said...
When they started talking about this again a few weeks ago, they said initially it will only be Cataclysm bosses, but they hoped to add some later.
I know it takes time to put features in, but if you are announcing something this far ahead, why not put the other bosses in, as well?
Once you have the framework of the feature in, the data is most likely just text. Hell, you could just go to Wowhead, filter out the bosses by instance, and get a listing of every ability and item drop without even having to consult internal data.
It's a little annoying going "We're adding this neat feature, but it'll only be for the current expansion!", and we're probably going to have to wait for another content patch to fill out the rest.
On the other hand, it's bang for the buck ... and even going to wowhead and pulling text into the game costs money, aside from copyright issues. Is there really much value to giving the Black Wing Lair raid boss abilities when the vast majority of players so overwhelmingly outgear the content that they solo it?
Drakkenfyre said...
It's just "Here's a neat feature, for 1/4 of the game." And then we have to wait, maybe 5 months, for the rest.
And copyright issues? Uh, Wowhead pulls info from Blizzard's game. I doubt very seriously they have a copyright claim on "Blackened Defias Armor" dropping from "VanCleef".
loop_not_defined said...
The alternative is waiting 5 more months for the whole feature.
I feel this is an acceptable compromise.
RogueJedi86 said...
I'd rather wait 5 months for a complete product than a month for a half-assed product. I feel this is an acceptable delay.
loop_not_defined said...
Do you feel the dungeon maps, which were first released with only WotLK maps, should've been delayed until all maps were complete? Because the BC dungeon maps were delayed 'til around Cataclysm launch.
Releasing a feature that is initially limited to current content (the vast majority of actually played content) isn't "half-assed" anymore than most features. In fact, it can be good design practice. If they end up having to change the implementation (whether for bug fixes, design flaws, or streamlining), they save themselves a lot of work by only having to change the current content instead of all 100% of WoW.
loop_not_defined said...
Also, I'm having trouble understanding why you feel leveling content is so important. Knowing boss abilities just isn't a big deal in most cases, and loot quickly loses value due to constant replacement (if you're even bothering with the gear, since most folks use heirlooms).
I agree that including leveling content would be nice, but holding up current Dungeon/Heroic/Raid content for it sounds about as smart as shooting yourself in the foot, as the latter is where all of this information matters the most.

Before & After: A $40 Front Porch Makeover
After moving to our house in April, we noticed that all the neighborhood cats had one thing in common: they liked to use the dirt-filled area next to our front door as a litter box. Fixing this was high on the priority list, and last weekend, we found a green—and cheap—way to do just that. Want to see how it looks now?
A family member offered us 30 paving stones that she had used for her back porch, but changed the shape of her deck and had no use for the leftover stones. Since our area was six feet square, we just needed six more stones to fill in the area.
We bought one eight-foot length of lawn edging, three bags of river rocks, and six additional paver stones, for a total of $37, and made over our front porch. ("We" being my fiance; I only helped spread the river rock over the pavers at the end of the project!)
Now it's a cat-poop-free area, and our project coincided with cooler temperatures, making it the perfect place for us to sit in the evenings and mingle with neighbors. Not too shabby for recycled stones and a few bones, we think!

Great chairs and even cuter welcome mat. Well done.
Thanks! The chairs were bought 70% off at World Market at the end of summer (score), and the mat is from Crate & Barrel, an eco-friendly gift from an environmentally conscious friend!
uggg - we have a stray cat pooping issue (should read: we live next door to the sweet old lady who likes to feed the legions of feral cats in our neighborhood).
This would work really well in a few areas. Unfortunately, we have a lot more land to cover. I wonder if I can find some cheap leftover pavers on craigslist....
My neighborhood cats like to use my gardens as litterboxes, too. How can I get them to stop without covering the lovely garden in pavers?
@ Aimi: We tried a few solutions before putting in our patio... the most successful was covering the area with a temporary solution (a broken bamboo shade, in our case). We also heard that citrus peels would help divert the cats, so we scattered those around as well. The citrus peels might be a more garden-friendly (and still cat-friendly!) solution. Good luck!
While I love the look that spread out paving stones create (with pebbles or grass in between), I've always steered away for fear of constantly having to battle to level a chair on the surface. You guys seems to have negotiated that problem by using furniture with wide legs, which, I'd never thought of as a solution. Genius!
@ Aimi -
I read that cats hate to walk on chickenwire. You can cut it so it fits around your plants and it's not _that_ obvious asethetically.
I have yet to try it, but have considered it...
The cat isn't the "problem." The REAL problem is the cat's owner! Great porch makeover anyway.
Several cats were having territorial Poop Wars in my garden last year, but that stopped after I sprinkled cayenne pepper liberally all over the area I wanted to keep the kitties out of. Worked surprisingly well. For more persistent kitties you might do better resorting to something like coyote urine granules. Which, yes, they do actually sell, though I don't even want to imagine how they "harvest" urine from coyotes....
I agree, the cat is not a problem... He's adorable!
Nicely done. Suggestion: move the chairs away from the windows a bit and add some frosted window film to the lowers windows to soften the window reflection.
Great idea! Only thing I'd have different is no spacing between the pavers. I like a solid surface. Otherwise, Bravo!
I think the cat was trying to tell the homeowner to turn that unsightly corner into a nice seating area... He was being inspiring, not a problem!
Great option! The paving stones also bring out the colours in the stones on your house. Very well done and I love to see inexpensive options to the common problems many of us have.
What a difference! I love it! Nothing beats getting free stones and making such good use of them. Love the adirondack chairs too.
I like the way you incorporated the new, lighter colored pavers. Looks better than if they were all one color!
That looks really good! Now if you can only tell your neigbors they're jerks for locking their cats outside.
The picture, problem sign to the cat. That is just so hilarious. "Hey cat, do you know you're a problem?"....
I had a cat problem before, just put some citrus peel where they were doing their business and the problem fixed itself.
Nice. I also love the suggestion of window film and another inch of breathing room between the chairs and the windows.
Great job! It really looks good.
amazing use of concrete you've got there
This looks great! I love the pop of green, too!
Nice job! Blend dry chili peppers and warm water and pour it around exposed dirt patches if cats continue to present a problem. Hot paws!
that's a nice solution for the space, cats or no. holly white would have approved. might have to pepper the planters if the cats refocus, tho.
Wow! What a difference. Fantastic makeover
i like the shape but not the colours against the pale house... maybe some stain on the stones (?) and then the area wont be quite so washed out and the chairs and accessories would pop even more.
Paint the front door! Orange, red, yellow, fuchsia, anything! A bit more color will really warm up the space even more.
I bet it smells A LOT better
someone suggested coyote pee. works great for mice, rats, fox and raccoons, but cats... not so much. also it smells TERRIBLE. it stains and lingers and is one of the worst pee smells i ever experienced. but, it was great round my chicken coop!
Does it keep the chickens in?

It's been a long, hard winter of crop tops. Judging by Spring's 2014 runway shows, I regret to inform you that the 90s throwback piece isn't going away quite so soon. The good news is that many new trends will be heading our way and a great deal of them are exciting and totally wearable.
From pastels to bomber jackets to 90s-inspired slip dresses, we've featured 9 upcoming fashion trends that will make you look forward to ringing in the new year. And if the words "slip dress" just gave you a nervous flashback to the days when Claire Danes wore hers over a baby doll t-shirt, never fear: we've included tips on how to update your pieces so that you don't look like a teen raging against the machine.
Which trends are you looking most forward to in 2014?

Well I, for one can definitely wait because they all sucked.
lol @ PRIMA, I have to agree with you for the most part, however, I do like wide legged pants, on certain women they look great!
I don't think I'll ever be in fashion, all of those clothes are butt-ugly and crazy expensive.
Most of the clothes do look pretty hideous, however the slip dress might work for some people as long as its not toooooo 90's

Dear students, if you are serious about improving the calamity notification system then you must provide viable solutions. It is easy to point out the problems but utterly useless if no one bothers to formulate solutions. Present your proposals through the proper channels. Otherwise, deal with it.

Dear Family who never call,
Its Christmas again,
And needless to say I dislike you all,
But despite all my loathing.
For your stupid fat faces,
I've wrote you a poem,
All full of airs and graces,
Oh it's Christmas, so, I'll blow my nose,
The poems all festive, so here it goes:
If you ask me it's all a farce,
You can blow your Christmas out your arse,
All the greedy-robot-shoppers, drooling and grasping, makes me sad,
Wide-eyed-bloated-screaming-brats, all clawing and grasping mad,
Filling their shopping bags with the latest things they saw on the telly
Cramming their trollies with vast amounts of food for the belly,
Yes if you ask me It fills me with fear,
You can ram your Christmas in your wax filled ear,
All the mindless-nine-to-five-morons consume and consume and tell me I'm their brother,
All dressed up to the nines swarming our towns they kiss and hug and sing to each other,
Prancing, posturing and drinking to much booze with their haircuts and shoes
I'd like to take to the streets with a shotgun; I've got nothing to lose,
Yes if you ask me It makes me cry,
You can poke your Christmas in Santa's eye!
All the pretty pretentious families gather around fake smiles and wrapped gifts,
They eat lots of cake with their glistening eyes,
But it isn't long before their mood shifts,
Soon they'll be drunk and at each other's throats
Saying "I luv you so much, I luv you" "No, no I really really love you" what a charade, what a joke.
Yes if you ask me, at Christmas I will point and laugh and shake my head,
It's an empty hollow sham, based on a make believe religion, tatty, garish, cheap and all the true festivity is dead

A bunch of men and women greet us from the bank while we sail down the Narmada, one of the seven holy rivers of India.
Their black eyes express a compound of incredulity and resignation in the face of the pitiless evidence: the purifying waters that for 2000 years have been opening to the dead the gates of Nirvana, the paradise of Hindu, are now becoming a hell for the living ones.
A hell where the demon has a triple name: "Sardar Sarovar Dam". That is the largest of the 30 super-dams that have condemned the valley to flooding and one of the 4000 dams erected all over India, immense tanks where the rain that falls only two months a year is stored.
Dams carry development, but also devastation. Approximately 50 million people (10% of the national population) have been forcedtoleave their landtomake room for the water basins of the country.
It was back in 1961 when Jawaharlal Nehru, first Indian president, inaugurated the Sardar Sarovar. The wave of euphoria following the independence from England did not allow to foresee the conflict that was to oppose the India of "tomorrow" to the India of "yesterday".
Today, the vicissitude of Narmada reflects in emblematic way the drama of a people who is forced to sacrifice its roots in the sake of globalization.
While we flow down the river we see the few little houses, grabbed hold to the banks, which survived the ravaging stream.
The peasants defy the gravity law in ordertopick up the few plants which succeed to sprout on the steep pastures.
The fertile soil of the valley was flooded by one hundred meters of water. And so were the villages of Kakrana and Jhakrana. Not even the temples have been rescued. Only those on top of the hills will recall to posterity the legends of the past.
That is how one of the most ancient rural settlements in Asia is disappearing: an uncontaminated oasis in the heart of India, enclosed between Vindhya and Satpura ranges, where for millennia the aboriginal tribes have lived in symbiosis with the forest.
That is how the small peasants who need just few litres of water to cultivate a rice sod are disappearing forever: forced to flee to allow the government to increase water and hydro-generated power supplies.
The winner of the water game here are the big plantations which feed the megalopolis, steel factories and hi-tech companies that, fromBombay, conquer the world.

Does Idaho GOP's Inner Turmoil Matter Outside Political Circles?
By Jessica Robinson
Members of Idaho's Democratic Party gathered over the weekend in Moscow. It was a much calmer event than the Republican convention the week before. That convention left Idaho Republicans still debating who the party chair is after their convention devolved in chaos. And they still don't have a new platform. Correspondent Jessica Robinson looked into what these problems mean outside the inner-circle of party politics.
The turmoil has certainly been fodder for national political bloggers. But platforms, delegates, party chairs -- this is pretty wonky stuff. Does it actually matter to voters?
Juliet Carlisle: "I bet if you asked the Republicans of Idaho most of them wouldn't even know there was a convention last week."
Juliet Carlisle teaches political science at the University of Idaho.
Juliet Carlisle: "These positions are in a lot of ways symbolic. They don't do a lot for the average voter."
Long-time Idaho political observer Jim Weatherby says fractures in the Republican party might not do a lot for Democrats either.
Jim Weatherby: "That's one of the problems of a one-party state, where they often don't fear losing in the general election because the minor party isn't strong enough to take them on."
But both Weatherby and Carlisle agree the convention fracas does reveal how deeply Republicans are divided -- and how difficult it is to find compromise between factions.
Carlisle says what's insider baseball now could mean more down the road if it affects which voters stay home and which turn out.
Juliet Carlisle: "We have less a majority of eligible voters turning out for elections. And so a group that can mobilize just a few hundred or thousand voters is really going to be able to make an impact."
For proof, Carlisle says just look at Congressman Eric Cantor's unexpected defeat to a Tea Party favorite in Virginia.

I had few goals for the summer following my senior year in high school. I wanted to get a decent tan, to take lots of pictures, and to make a conscious effort to enjoy my first (and probably last) truly work-free summer.
I did just that.
For the three months between my high school graduation and my Hopkins orientation, I read books for pleasure (instead of AP English), I worked on projects that excited me (instead of college applications), and I looked forward to my future (instead of complaining about my AP workload).
It sounds cliché, I know, but for me, the summer of 2012 was no less than magic. I only thought of school and class and assignments in the context of a Hopkins-future for which I was extremely excited, but that was still relatively far (with time here measured in lazy, sunny summer days) in my future. If someone had asked me to write another essay comparing works or literature or analyzing rhetoric, I would have laughed at them and explained that each minute I spent thinking in MLA format was a minute that I wasn't driving around with the windows down blasting Call Me Maybe (forever the song of the summer) or saying goodbye to my friends.
It was in this state of mind – a combination of contented laziness and procrastination – that I found myself, on my last day at home before the big move-in, looking at a SAAB application and a very empty Word document. I had been a loyal follower of Hopkins Interactive for years, but questioned whether or not I really wanted to spend my last afternoon writing sample blog posts; what were the odds that I would even be chosen, anyway? Writing sounded a lot like work, and work was something that, for the summer of 2012, I was vehemently, vehemently against.
Obviously, you're reading these words here on the Class of 2016 (no longer freshmen) Blog, and you readers know me as JHU_Alexa. I pulled it together, that afternoon almost a year ago, and I put my best effort into completing an application that reflected my enthusiasm both for Hopkins and for Hopkins Interactive. On a Sunday morning during Orientation, I sat at a table while I was interviewed by a panel of current SAABers (and tried not to laugh as they all introduced themselves as if I hadn't been reading their life stories for years). That Sunday night, sitting at the FFC for dinner, I received an email informing me that I had been chosen. I screamed – my dinner mates looked at me a bit strangely – and thus began my involvement in one of the best experiences I've had at Hopkins. If I haven't made this entirely clear already, I love being JHU_Alexa.
For those who don't know, SAAB stands for the Student Admissions Advisory Board. We answer questions on the Hopkins Forums, on Facebook groups, and in person at campus visit days. We make videos. We tweet. We Instagram. We meet weekly to discuss new recruitment projects. We (sometimes) order Chipotle. Perhaps most notably, we write and maintain blogs in this space, but above all else, we love and represent Hopkins.
My job on SAAB has been both immensely satisfying and immensely fun. On a daily basis, I get to interact with prospective students and help them to understand just why I love my school. I get to talk with members of our incoming Class of 2017 about everything from which dorm is the best (AMR I, obviously) to whether or not the FFC has Hopkins waffle irons (yes, and they're fantastic). I get to do all of this with my fellow SAABers, an eclectic group of really, really awesome people (if I do say so myself).
Being a part of SAAB has opened doors for me. Not only has it made me a better communicator, both verbally and in writing, but the connections that I've made with other members have given me the confidence to pursue other activities that are now an integral part of my Hopkins life. I probably wouldn't have gone through rush if it weren't for some of the women of SAAB that helped me get past my misconceptions about Greek life, and I definitely wouldn't have applied for the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship if it weren't for my exposure to the amazing research that JHU_Tess, JHU_Noah, JHU_Ruthie, and JHU_Caleb were able to complete. I proudly list my blog on my resumé.
I'm only a few months out of my freshman year (only a few days if you count my adventure in summer classes as an extension of it), and already I'm feeling nostalgic and reflective and a little bit sad that it's over. I've thought a lot about my time so far at Hopkins, and the events and activities that have shaped my experience. If I had to choose one decision that had the greatest (here meaning both largest and best) affect on the past year of my life, I would say that it was submitting that SAAB application last August, and I would answer without hesitation.
I suppose this blog post is really for you, Class of 2017. Soon, the application for our new class of SAABers will be released. I urge you to take a few hours of your summer and complete it. We can't wait to meet you.

Another year, another LA Auto show. While we didn't see anything that we hadn't already seen online, we were able to score some photos of the latest and greatest cars in the flesh. Probably the most memorable of the show was BMW's concept vehicles, the i3 and i8. There are also a few other notables, so take a gander at the below gallery and get up to speed on what you missed this past weekend.
Of note, don't forget about the life sized Mario Karts.
Thank to V-Studios for hooking up the images.

Kliff Kingsbury and 13-point underdog Texas Tech used strong defense and outstanding quarterback play to stun #14 Arizona State in the National University Holiday Bowl 37-23.
The Red Raiders started off hot, scoring on their first two possessions to take a 13-0 lead. Freshman Quarterback Davis Webb, who was battling for the starting nod with Sophomore Michael Brewer, continued the intensity in the 2nd Quarter, throwing four total touchdown passes to three different receivers in the first half, a Holiday Bowl record.
The 2nd Half saw Arizona State take their opening possession in for a touchdown to bring the Sun Devils within seven, but Reginald Davis took the ensuing kickoff 90 yards back to the house to extend the lead back to 14, which quelled the Arizona State momentum and ended up being the play of the game.
From there, the Red Raider defense put the clamps on the Sun Devils. Arizona State only had 125 yards passing all game and were held to only six of 19 on 3rd downs.
Miscues from the Sun Devils on Special Teams helped Texas Tech - particularly right before the half when Arizona State had First and Goal from the one yard line and ended up missing a field goal as the Half expired.
From there the momentum remained on the Red Raiders side of the field. With the Sun Devils driving down two touchdowns and over three minutes left to play, Freshman Cornerback Justice Nelson intercepted ASU Quarterback Taylor Kelly in the end zone to seal the win for the Red Raiders - the only turnover of the game for the Sun Devils.
After the turmoil of the latter half of the season defensively, it's fitting that Matt Wallerstedt's defense put a solid performance together to send the seniors out with a huge win.
Freshman Quarterback Davis Webb finished 28 of 41 for 403 yards and four touchdowns, but most importantly zero turnovers.
Junior Tight End Jace Amaro, who is expected to declare for the NFL Draft, finished with eight receptions for 112 yards.
After the excitement of a 7-0 start and the turmoil of a 0-5 finish the Red Raiders finish 2013 with a huge win to launch the program into the off season.
Kliff Kingsbury gets a Bowl Victory in his first year as Head Coach and Tech has now won 9 of their last 11 bowl games.

text: Hi Georg I seem to have missed Mark's email on this can you give me a pointer - the traffic on this list at the moment is horrendous. Thanks Debbie -----Original Message----- From: idna-update-bounces at alvestrand.no [mailto:idna-update-bounces at alvestrand.no] On Behalf Of Georg Ochsner Sent: 03 December 2009 12:40 To: 'IDNA update work' Subject: sharp s PVALID2016 Hello, I think Mark's TRANSITIONAL idea is quite interesting. But because I see how difficult it would be to form another WG and standard in a couple of years in order to make the change to PVALID I would adopt it a little bit. The idea would be to do the following: - Latin small letter sharp S gets PVALID2016 PVALID2016 means it is a forbidden character until 2016 and should be treated as PVALID by applications distributed or updated from 2016 onwards. All TLD registries are requested to not allow the ß for registration before 2016. - Mappings from ß to ss are not allowed anymore from now onwards This would still leave some choice open to application providers and registries how to implement the ß after 2015. The advantage though would be, that it is not necessary to form another WG in order to update IDNA2008. - Additionally we can recommend TLD registries to open a grandfathering period for the first registrations of domains with ß, so that registrants of domains with ss can be preferred to get the sibling with ß. I think this is a reasonable plan and timeframe. If someone is using old applications too long, I think it's his own responsibility. Every software can only be supported by the manufacturer for a limited time. There are many products still in use where there are no security updates available anymore.. but it's not always the manufactures fault. A responsibility the WG and manufactures have is to 1. make the information about changes accessible and 2. give enough time to react (update). I don't know the planed lifecycles of the browsers and mail clients, so 2016 is only a suggestion.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A reputed gang member accused of trying to carry out a 2010 Mexican Mafia "hit" on a fellow prison inmate testified Wednesday that there was no conspiracy to kill the victim and that he acted alone when the prisoner tried to punch another inmate.
Eduardo Macias, 32, is charged with attempted murder, assault and other counts stemming from an alleged razor attack on Victor Ortiz at Donovan State Prison on July 5, 2010.
Co-defendants Geronimo Polina, 35, and Lionel Quinteros, 26, are also charged in the attack.
"I did what I did for my own reasons," Macias told the jury in his closing argument. "There is no hit list."
Macias is representing himself since he allegedly slashed attorney William Burgener in the cheek in front of the jury as testimony wrapped up last week.
Regarding the attack on Ortiz, Macias said he acted alone and didn't try to kill the victim.
"All I did was assault Ortiz with a weapon," Macias told the jury.
Macias said Ortiz lied in court about the incident and wanted revenge against the defendants and to see them be sentenced to life in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Hector Jimenez, in his closing argument, said the defendants conspired to murder Ortiz to end a power struggle for control of the prison.
The prosecutor said Macias was "lying in wait" with a razor while Polina brought the victim to where he was in a prison yard.
"It was a pre-planned, coordinated attack," Jimenez said. "They were told to do it. They had to do it."
A prison guard fired numerous rounds to stop the attack, the prosecutor said.
Polina's attorney, Frank Puglia, said Ortiz had been pushed out of the Mexican Mafia and felt betrayed by the prison gang.
Ortiz was an "angry, vengeful man" who wanted the defendants killed, according to Puglia.
The attorney said there was no evidence that Polina knew what Macias was going to do when he attacked Ortiz.
Puglia said Polina defended himself during a fight.
"That's all it was," Puglia told the jury. "Mr. Polina acted in self-defense. He was attacked by Mr. Ortiz."
Closing arguments are scheduled to conclude Friday.

Owners of popular Hub bars voice opposition to 'happy hour' in Massachusetts
It appears it's still going to be a while before you're able to get discount "happy hour" drinks in Massachusetts.
Owners and representatives from dozens of the city's most popular bars and restaurants voiced their strong opposition to easing restrictions on the state's "happy hour" regulations.
"Happy hour only encourages over consumption," said Austin O'Connor, head of The Briar Group, which operates Ned Devine's, The Green Briar, Anthem Kitchen and Bar, The Harp and other establishments. "Happy hour is absolutely a bad thing for our industry."
The comments were made during an Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission hearing in Boston today, which sought input on a possible change to the state's "happy hour" regulations to prevent "unfair competition" from future casinos. The recently passed expanded gambling bill allows casinos to give free drinks to certain patrons, according to the State House News Service.
The commission is expected to file recommendations on the matter by the end of January.
Besides monitoring over consumption, the establishment owners cited concerns over openings by inexperienced restaurateurs, increases in drunken driving and being forced to compete against thousands of establishments versus a casino.
If "happy hour" regulations are eased, some owners said they would be forced to offer discounted drink to compete and it would be a "race to the bottom" in the industry.
"We make investments in our business … in some cases millions of dollars to put together a great venue, great food, great service and a nice atmosphere," said Douglas Bacon, president of the Red Paint Hospitality Group that operates establishments including the White Horse Tavern and Avenue Bar & Grill in Allston and The Corner Tavern in the Back Bay. "If happy hours are allowed to come back to Massachusetts, an inexperienced operator who is under capitalized can take a former shoe store, set up a bar and start selling $2 drinks and undercut everyone else in the neighborhood."
Currently, liquor regulations don't allow for free drinks or a variation in drink prices during a day or in a calendar week.
Representatives from the Massachusetts Restaurant Association also expressed their opposition to easing the restrictions.
State Treasurer Steven Grossman, who oversees the ABCC, wouldn't say yesterday where he stood on the issue, but did say he had "overarching concerns about public safety."
The commission held its fourth hearing today, which was its only one in Boston. A commissioner said she has only heard one person speak in favor of easing the restrictions for a true "happy hour."
During today's hearing, one group did speak up in support of easing the restrictions, but in a limited way.
Vincent Errichetti, representing the Restaurant and Business Alliance that is overseen by the operators of the Phantom Gourmet, said the group supports limiting variations in drink prices to only two days per week versus seven.
"It's a simple, logical and safe change in policy," he said.

kawasaki Tengai?
I am in the usa and recently came across an ad for a kawasaki Tengai. It claimed this was the european version of a KLR 650. Can anyone tell me anything about this bike. is it indeed just a european klr 650? or is it something different?
Seth S
the tengai is a klr 650 with a load of plastic - big fairing, stuff like that. I dont know about it being a purely euro klr, but i dont think it is made anymore.
Hi there!
The note that it is European is absolute bullshit (as I've already seen it in Australia quite a few times ;-) ), but the KLR part is true - it is pretty much a KLR - just more plastics!
The frame, the engine, the exhaust, the tank and all that stuff is the same - the only difference I found is plastics and tank and the parts where it is bond to the frame.
Because of the "more" on plastics and the 23 litre tank it is a little more heavy, but even so excellent for offroad (not motocross though ;-) ).
I got one and can help with questions, when I get an email...
Have fun with it - it's a good bike - as any KLR - just better for long road distances
Greetings Mel...
Hi Everybody,
I just bought a 1990 KLR650 Tengai (model B).
The bike is in a satisfying condition, but needs some work (and definitely new paint, I don't like the red/white combination). It has about 50.000 km. it is running, although it's misfiring on low rotations, has some trouble to start in the cold, and until now accept for the tires, brake pads and battery, all other parts are original.
Anyhow, since I want to refresh it completely, so I can ride it withour problems for at least the next 2-3 years, can anyone that had some experience with this model tell me what the usual troubles are, and on what spots should I keep my eye on during the refreshment?
Thanks in advance !
risen from the death?
Uh, oh! A thread truely risen from the dead!
The good news first: Due to the Tengai being a KLR 650 you'll be able to use almost everything that's available for the KL650A.
The bad news: Your Tengai shares a few flaws with the first series KL650A:
Things to look for:
Does your engine have a doohickey replacement? (Eagle Lever). If not, get one.
Condition of balancer chain. Timing chain should be fine after 50000km.
Whilst you're at the balancer chain mechanism check that your engine has solid balancer sprockets. If it still has the split rubber / spring dampened version get the later solid ones (second hand, cheap).
Your engine has the older gearbox / shafts / clutch combo. The only advantage is that you can retrofit the KL600's kickstarter (which is a waste of time, make sure your battery is fine).
Disadvantages of the old box: Fast wearing drive chain sprocket splines (6, later 12), gears more prone to wear due to less dogs, weaker clutch. If replacement of anything is pending get the whole lot second hand (also rather cheap as KLR's typically expire from piston / barrel wear or lack of oil ruining main shaft and head).
General KLR advice: Get left mirror & choke lever mount to bolt onto clutch armature. Also ATO fuse kit (Arrowhead).
Spend some time to set your valves correctly. KLR valves should always be set to max. spec. or even very slightly above max. spec. Reduces wear, prevents stating problems.
Remove the crappy tank vent valve from the filler cap.
Google KLR T-mod...
Google KLR...
as said, it's a KLR ;)
Hi, I bought a Tengai new in 1990, 5000 miles later the output shaft slpines wore through. Apparently there was a dodgy batch made. It was fixed under warrenty by Kawasaki.
A few years later the output shaft oil seal popped, not a serious job on most bikes but on the Tengai there is an external lip stopping you removing the seal from the outside, which would mean a total engine strip down to pull out a £3 seal !! In the end I ground away the lip and pulled the seal out.
The plastics are rather breakable, KLR650 side panels fit and are more flexable. The windscreen had a really annoying buzzy rattle, so use silicon sealant or tape to stop the buzz. It also has a very brittle plastic 'sump guard', once again 'fit' the one from the KLR650 which is slightly stronger plastic or find a sheet of ally, bend and drill to fit if your doing any off road trips.
I also found that the fuel taps would sometimes stop flowing petrol in hot weather, this seemed to be caused by the vacume fuel switch from the carb, another thing to remove.
Also check the condition of the four main/subframe bolts, I had one snap and one seize ! Half a bolt stuck fast in the main frame was not the easiest of things to remove, perhaps fit larger bolts if you will be carrying heavy luggage.
Other than that it was a good long distance tourer. I did three Morocco trips and a Trans Sahara on the bike. Not as mechanicaly tough (indestructable) as my XT600/Tenere but does have a slightly more comfortable seat and a smoother (for a 650 single) engine.
Thanks for your tipps :thumbup1:
Last 3 weeks I completely took apart the bike (accept the engine)
I refreshed all the plastics, put some thin neopren tape between them, refastened all the bolts, cleaned everything with 96% alchohol, sprayed all plastic with protective syllicone spray, checked the complete electrical instalation (also changed some suspissious cables), cleaned all electrical contact and sprayed them with cocntact spray...
The handlebars, the triangle beneath them, the caps on the exhaust were plastifyed with electroststic paint, and the exhaust was stripped to pure metal, and then repainted with termo-stabile paint.
I repaired all the cracks in the plastic, and by now the bike is prepared for painting.
Now I'm waiting for a friend of mine to make the stickers, and as soon as they are ready, I will repaint the plastics and the tank (with the original color).
The only thing that is missing from the bike is the rear left plastic (the battery cover), so if anyone has a suggestion where and how I can get one, it will be very appreciated :(.
Here is the bike now (before painting)
I didn't touch the engine, because the previous owner (also a friend of mine) has changed the timing chain and balancer, spring... etc... and also he works as a motorcycle repairman in his own shop and he was maintaining the bike, so I took his word for it.
My Tengai, during normal riding does not loose oil, but last weekend, I was forcing it a bit, almost all the time with 90% opened throttle, and for 400 km. it was consumpting about 200cc oil. Is this normal, or should I be worried??c?
Here are some pic's with the side cases on :thumbup1:
last year I sold my Tengai and bought a 900cc yamaha diversion... soon I realized that this bike is not right for me and started missing my tengai :(
a few days ago, I found a tengai laying in a repair shop, contacted the owner, agreed on the price, and tomorrow I'll be heading to collect my new kawasaki kl650b- tengai :thumbup1:
the thing is that the bike is taken apart for some repairs, and never been completed, it is missing some parts, like the fan-switch, some plastic covers etc... it will take some time to repair it, but the winter is coming anyway, so I'll keep myself busy...
I'll try to report on the progress here as well...
I had some useful tips from some of you here, and I'll appreciate your comments and suggestions as I go trough the repairs...
cheers bier
here is my new Tengai, assembled, but still needs some work...
This must be something like a record...a ten year old thread !
Great looking bike(s) ! I liked the first one particularly, funnily enough I was reading through an old italian bike magazine just this morning and I heard about the Tengai for the first time ...it certainly looks like a fine overlander, and I'm feeling tempted to go and take a look at some in my area. Prices are actually surprisingly low (by italian standards) .
Keep us posted about your own progress Dvormak, and I hope to see this thread still around in many more years to come :thumbup1:
For my new Tengai I need:
- Fan Switch
- L & R side covers
- RH contol box (with strater, kill switch, light switch)
If anyone has these parts to spare, please feel free to make me an offer :D
|All times are GMT +1. The time now is 17:45.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A New Hanover County school board member is throwing his hat in the ring in an attempt to fill an open seat on the board of commissioners.
Ed Higgins, who has served on the school board for 18 years, tells WECT.com he has notified the head of the local Republican party, Rhonda Amoroso, of his desire to be appointed to a seat that's being vacated by Rick Catlin.
On Election Day, Catlin won his bid for a seat in the state house.
His term starts next year.
When Catlin leaves, the New Hanover County Republican Party will make a recommendation for who should finish the two years remaining in his term.

Q: I came to the Writing Center, but my tutor did not write a lot on my essay. Why was that?
A: As noted elsewhere, the Writing Center does not provide editing or proofreading services. Tutors at the Writing Center are trained to provide you with guidance on your writing, not to take notes for you. We firmly believe that it is the student's responsibility to record what a tutor has to say. If any student comes to the Writing Center without a writing utensil or a piece of paper, we will be happy to provide these items. That said, we also encourage you to come to your session prepared to take notes.
Q: Why won't tutors read essays before students come to the Writing Center?
A: We believe that your assignment is, and should be, your own and that you should learn to improve your writing through practice. Because good practice includes good discussion, we insist that tutors not read essays before talking to students about their prompts, their goals in coming to the Writing Center, and their instructors' expectations and/or previous feedback. Submitting your essay before your appointment would mean that tutors would become responsible for your assignment without ever having discussed it with you.
Q: Is the Writing Center able to contact my instructor in order to let him or her know I attended a consultation?
A: We certainly are. After your appointment, you should let your tutor know that you would like your instructor to receive confirmation of your consultation. You will need to provide your tutor with your instructor's email address when you make your request.
Q: I am working on a twenty-page term paper. May I bring that to the Writing Center?
A: Certainly. During any given session, however, your tutor will read no more than ten pages. You may direct your tutor to read certain pages, or you may ask him or her to read through the first ten pages of the document. In either case, we invite you to make multiple appointments at the Writing Center so that the entirety of your paper may be reviewed.
Q: My second language is English. Will the Writing Center help me with grammar, punctuation, and syntax?
A. The Writing Center staff are trained to help students as they construct arguments and organize their essays. While good grammar and syntax play a role in any strong argument or well-organized paper, the Writing Center does not offer proofreading services or ESL instruction. If English is your second language, we will be happy to help you, but grammatical and syntactical concerns will be of secondary interest as we work with you to improve your essay's thesis and structure.
Q: I am a graduate student. Am I allowed to make appointments at the Writing Center?
A. Yes, you are, provided you are enrolled in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences or the Whiting School of Engineering. Please be advised, however, that our staff members are affiliated with a variety of departments in the Humanities and Social Sciences and will therefore be unable to provide extensive critiques of the content of your writing, especially if you have composed a highly technical essay. That said, we will certainly be glad to assist you with organization, structure, and fluidity.
**Note: The Writing Center does NOT help students affiliated with the following schools: the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the School of Education, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Carey Business School, or the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
Q: Will the Writing Center help me with my cover letter, resume, CV, technical writing, business memo, etc.?
A: We're sorry, but our staff are trained to assist students with argument-based writing alone. They are not instructed how to help students as they compose resumes, cover letters, or CVs; nor are staff members familiar with the many conventions that make good technical or business writing.
Q: Will the Writing Center help me with a grant or grant proposal?
A: We're sorry, but our staff is not trained to help students with grants or grant proposals.
Q: May I request a particular tutor?
A: Yes, you may. Either online or in person, you may express your interest to work with a particular individual, and we will try to accommodate you.
Q: Why is it not possible for me to have a consultation on the day my paper is due?
A: At the Writing Center, we view the editing process as a serious one. We know it takes time, thought, and hard work to edit a paper successfully, and we know that students will gain the most from their consultations if they are able to reflect afterwards on the matters discussed during a session. When students have essays due the same day as their appointments, they are simply unable to dedicate the necessary time and effort to the editing process. Moreover, a looming due date may negatively affect the direction of a consultation.
Q: Am I able to get help on my take-home exam?
A: We're sorry, but we do not help students with take-home exams unless their instructors have given explicit permission that such assistance may be provided. If your instructor does not mind that you receive help, you will still need to take one of the following courses of action: first, you may ask your instructor to email the Writing Center directly; second, you may collect a "Permission Slip" from the Writing Center and have this slip signed and dated by your instructor.
Q: Does the Writing Center help alumni?
A: We do help alumni, but only with the primary personal statement required for admission to medical school, law school, or other graduate programs. Alumni who are outside of the Baltimore/Washington region are also eligible for phone appointments. Please see below for more information on phone appointments.
Q: Is it possible for me to have someone look over my secondary essays for graduate or professional school?
A: We're sorry, but staffing constraints at the Writing Center make it impossible for our tutors to review secondary essays. We are, however, very happy to help you as you prepare the main personal statement for any graduate or professional school.
Q: If I am in Washington, D.C., may I schedule a phone appointment with the Writing Center?
A: We're sorry for any inconvenience, but all students in the Baltimore/Washington area must schedule in-person appointments at the Writing Center.
Q: How do phone appointments work?
A: At least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment, you should email a copy of your personal statement to the Writing Center. Once the hour for your appointment begins, your tutor will start reading your document, and in most cases, he or she will make comments on it using track changes. This process takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Around the half-hour mark of your appointment time, your tutor will call you at the number you provided when you scheduled your consultation. (If you do not receive a call before that time, do not worry! You have not been forgotten.) Before calling, your tutor will most likely have emailed you back a version of your document that includes comments. During the ensuing telephone conversation, he or she will discuss possible revisions with you. After your appointment, please make sure to return to the Writing Center scheduler and complete the evaluation for your consultation.
**Note: To schedule a phone appointment, you must be outside the Baltimore-Washington area.
Q: I am an employee of Johns Hopkins University. May I bring an essay, resume, or personal statement to the Writing Center?
A: We're sorry, but we help only those students who are enrolled in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences or the Whiting School of Engineering.
Q: I believe that my non-college-aged child would benefit from tutoring in writing. May my child meet with one of your tutors?
A. We're sorry, but we help only those students who have matriculated at Johns Hopkins University. We can, however, send out a notice to our tutors to see if anyone would be interested in helping your child outside of the Writing Center's hours. If you are interested in this possibility, please send an email describing your wishes to email@example.com.
Q: How do I become a tutor at the Writing Center?
A: Please see the "Prospective Tutors" page on this site for more details.
Q: What can I do to make my session go more smoothly?
A: Trite as it may sound, an open mind is the most important thing you can bring to your appointment. Aside from that, your tutor will also be appreciative if you bring a double-spaced hard copy of your essay and the relevant assignment sheet or prompt. You are also welcome to bring in examples of your previously graded work.

You do not have to have a computer to get through law school, so we do not require them of our students. We do provide our students with a kiosk area and an 11 seat computer lab for those students choosing not to use a laptop while in Wesemann Hall. Students can print to any one of our four printers from a law school computer. A Technical Aide is on duty near the Wesemann Computer Lab and in Heritage Hall during normal building hours to answer any of your technology questions, issues, or procedures.
If you have a laptop and wireless capabilities you can access the wireless network anywhere in the building—classrooms, student lounge, etc. And with electrical outlets at every seat in every classroom, you need not worry about running out of battery life in the middle of class.
Every law student is provided a free e-mail account through Google Apps, personal space on our network drive, and print pages. All incoming 1Ls attend a Technology Orientation where these services are explained.
Need to know more? You might find the answer to your question on the School of Law Technology FAQ page.
Please feel free to contact Donna Patterson, Associate Director of Technology (465-7843) if further assistance is needed.
