Maine Landscapes: Then and Now
June 12 – September 25, 2010
Opening Reception June 12
Landscape of Maine, Then and Now exhibits paintings by Lewiston's beloved landscapist, Delbert Dana Coombs from a period between 1880-1905, in contrast with contemporary Maine Landscapes by a diverse group of artists from 1980-2005. These works, from the Bates Museum of Art's collection, aim to create a dialog in respect to the ways in which the landscape in Maine, as well as the artist's methods, and ideology has shifted within this century.
This exhibition was organized with assistance from Museum interns Charlotte Weidlein '09 and Andrea Svigals '10.
Contact Us
Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Wednesday evenings until 7 p.m. during the academic year
Closed between exhibitions, see exhibition page for dates.
***The Museum will be closed Thursday, November 27 and
Friday, November 28

Six SAN shoot-out
Summary: Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
(Credit: HP)
HP LeftHand P4300
The HP LeftHand Starter pack consists of a pair of 2RU devices built for function rather than beauty — as would be expected for a server-room machine. As provided to Enex, each unit holds eight 300GB SAS drives plus a DVD ROM drive. Thus the total capacity is 4.8TB. A 12TB SATA version of this SAN is also available. The number of drives is expandable from 16 to 256 with the addition of extra nodes. Each unit has dual active/active controllers.
Clustering of storage units provides for a straightforward expansion of the SAN. Data is striped and mirrored across all volumes in the cluster, preventing a failure in a node resulting in data loss. Thus larger organisations can benefit from very impressive data stability. When adding extra storage units to the SAN the system can remain online, reducing maintenance downtime. Thin provisioning eliminates the need to predict the amount of space each volume may require in the future. Additionally, administrators can choose to set redundancy on a per-volume basis (up to four times).
Given the capability and scalability of this product the user interface is convenient to use. Basic configuration of the SAN, including IP address, is initially configured under a simple text interface on the SAN itself — which allows for direct keyboard and monitor connection. The majority of the device set-up is then configured via a GUI installed on a server.
Inside the box, everything is well laid out for easy access during maintenance. Hot-swappable parts such as fans, drives and power supplies are easy to remove.
The HP appears to support just about every OS known to man, including Windows, Linux, Citrix, OS Snow Leopard, IBM AIX, HP-UX, VMware, Novell and Solaris.
Due to its size (at least in part) this set-up is quite power hungry — 293W per unit. HP provides a three-year on-site warranty with next day service and nine-to-five software support.
The good
- Very good expandability in terms of ease and scale
- Excellent OS support
- Thin provisioning
The bad
- Standard support contact includes office hours only
The bottom line
If there was FC support, HP LeftHand P4300 would be fabulous.

Marvel Planning to Trick Retailers into Stocking Future Quarter Bins With Death of Wolverine
- Written by Jude Terror on Saturday, May 31 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Bleeding Cool
In case you had any doubts that Marvel and DC don't give a crap how many people actually read their comics as long as retailers have already paid them, Bleeding Cool reports that the publisher is offering huge incentive deals for retailers who order extra copies of the Death of Wolverine weekly series that's out in September. Retailers who order more than 275% of their usual numbers for Death of Wolverine #1 and #4 will get all the comics for 30% off. #2 and #3 will get the same discount at 250%.
The move is likely intended to counter DC's 3Dnado sequel, which is sure to take a big chunk out of Marvel's market share in September, and it follows a very "successful" relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man #1, which sold something like 750,000 copies (and came with its own 3Dnado-esque screw-ups that no one cared about because they're not DC). The Death of Wolverine will also feature "weapon-etched holofoil covers," in case you mistaken believed you were living in 2014 and not 1997. The comic book media will likely be treated to dozens of press releases touting the increased sales numbers and exclusive interviews with Axel Alonso on CBR where he brags about it while their reporters fawn over him and ask pre-approved questions, much to everyone's delight.
Unfortunately, there's one problem with all of this. Just because comic shops order two and a half times as many comics as usual doesn't mean actual readers will buy them from the shops. Maybe 100,000 people regularly read comics. Wolverine sells around 60,000-70,000. Might a few more readers (probably people who already read Marvel comics, just not Wolverine) pick these up? Sure. Will 275% actually pick it up? No fucking way. That means most of the stock will go unsold and end up in quarter bins for decades to come, just like pretty much every comic with ridiculously high print runs from the past twenty years.
But hey, it will look great on Marvel's corporate shareholder reports, and that's what matters. To them, at least. Some of us would prefer not to see the industry to implode like it did in the nineties.

Oblimersen Treatment for Older Patients with AML
Name of the Trial
Phase III Randomized Study of Daunorubicin and Cytarabine With or Without Oblimersen in Older Patients With Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (CALGB-10201). See the protocol abstract.
Principal Investigator
Dr. Guido Marcucci, Cancer and Leukemia Group B.
Why This Trial Is Important
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of blood and bone marrow cancer in U.S. adults. Treatment of newly diagnosed AML usually involves chemotherapy to induce a remission of the cancer (induction therapy), followed by more chemotherapy to keep the cancer in remission and prevent a relapse (consolidation or post-remission therapy).
In this trial, researchers are trying to determine whether adding the drug oblimersen (Genasense®) to chemotherapy will improve survival in patients aged 60 and older who have previously untreated AML. Oblimersen blocks production of a protein called Bcl-2, which helps cancer cells survive. Bcl-2 is overexpressed in many types of tumors and contributes to cancer cell resistance to chemotherapy. By blocking production of Bcl-2, oblimersen may make cancer cells more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy.
"Although AML long-term remission rates in younger patients are better, the long-term remission rates for AML in patients over 60 years old are very low, about 10-15 percent," said Dr. Marcucci. "AML is prevalent in the geriatric population in America, and as that population continues to grow, we can expect to see an increase in the number of older Americans with AML.
"That is why we need to come up with a new approach for treating AML in older patients," Dr. Marcucci added.
Contact Information
Patient recruitment for this trial has been stopped because early analysis indicated that the experimental treatment would not significantly improve overall survival. To locate other trials for leukemia, search the NCI database of clinical trials or call the NCI's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Going sugar free is very much in the news right now, and in our minds too, as you can see by the story we did earlier in the week on Daisy Lowe, who is currently writing a sugarfree book called Sweetness And Light and making recipe videos exclusively for us. And although we are of the Everything in Moderation Camp here at Grazia HQ, we also want to know about what it's like to go sugar-free, and how you avoid the inevitable withdrawal symptoms. So we asked Henrietta Norton, founder of Food-State brand Wild Nutrition, what to look out for if you're thinking of cutting out sugar completely, or just if you simply want advice on how to cut down and lead a healthier lifestyle.
Henrietta and her team specialise in bespoke super-charged nutrients, supplements and nutritional advice - to aid everything from weightloss, to stress and sleep. And when it comes to eating well, they really know their stuff. Henrietta has narrowed the things you need to know about going sugarfree down to five R's, below….
High sugar diets damage cellular tissue (think ageing skin and increased inflammation) so boost your new low-sugar/sugar-free regime with zinc, vitamin C and selenium to support cellular repair. Pumpkin seeds, broccoli and whole-grains such as millet and brown rice are all excellent sources.
Do not replace sugar with sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, saccharin or sorbitol, as they have been shown to stimulate an insulin response similar to that of refined sugar. Don't be afraid of fructose but only have it if in the form of whole fruit (and even then have it in moderate amounts), not in juices.
If you are struggling with sugar cravings, particularly mid afternoon when energy levels tend to drop, you might wish to consider adding a supplement with the trace mineral Chromium to your diet. Research shows this important mineral can reduce the symptoms of 'sugar withdrawal' by stabilizing blood glucose, reducing cravings and sugar-induced fat gain.
Food-State GTF Chromium, £16, Wild Nutrition
High sugar diets can result in fatty deposits in the liver and can over time, can interrupt liver function leading to disease. To optimize your sugar 'detox' consider supporting your liver with a specific liver cleansing programme or supplement. With my clients I will often start here, and use my 28-Day Total Cleanse programme to support the process. In fact spring is a much better time of year to do this than January!
Total Cleanse Programme, £85, Wild Nutrition
Stabilize your blood glucose to reduce cravings by eating every 4 hours and adding a source of protein (nuts, pulses, seeds, lean meat) and fat (avocado, seeds oils, fresh oily fish) into each meal. This will help to reduce the lows and highs of energy and cognitive function often experienced with those removing sugar from the diet.

NASA's long-range plans include possible human exploratory missions to the moon and Mars within the next quarter century. Such missions beyond low Earth orbit will expose crews to transient radiation from solar particle events as well as continuous high-energy galactic cosmic rays ranging from energetic protons with low mean linear energy transfer (LET) to nuclei with high atomic numbers, high energies, and high LET. Because the radiation levels in space are high and the missions long, adequate shielding is needed to minimize the deleterious health effects of exposure to radiation.
The knowledge base needed to design shielding involves two sets of factors, each with quantitative uncertainty-the radiation spectra and doses present behind different types of shielding, and the effects of the doses on relevant biological systems. It is only prudent to design shielding that will protect the crew of spacecraft exposed to predicted high, but uncertain, levels of radiation and biological effects. Because of the uncertainties regarding the degree and type of radiation protection needed, a requirement for shielding to protect against large deleterious, but uncertain, biological effects may be imposed, which in turn could result in an unacceptable cost to a mission. It therefore is of interest to reduce these uncertainties in biological effects and shielding requirements for reasons of mission feasibility, safety, and cost.

GME Evaluation Task Force RecommendationJuly 1, 2008
360 evaluations include observations by a variety of individuals from the multiple contexts where professionalism and communication skills are demonstrated. Ratings by self, peers, colleagues and faculty are generally collected using different tools than ratings by patients. The 360 method captures information on most of the competencies listed by the ACGME under "Professionalism" and "Interpersonal & Communication Skills and is highly recommended for every program' assessment system.
For Health Care Team and Self-Evaluation, we recommend the Professional Associate Evaluation Form, developed by the CREOG (Ob/Gyn) Competency Task Force
For Patient Surveys, we recommend the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Patient Survey
Reliability and Validity:
The optimal number and frequency 360 assessments is uncertain. A feasible minimum to achieve inter-rater reliability = .80 may be 5 non-clinical and 6 clinical raters each on 2 occasions (1).
Preliminary evidence of construct validity shows modest growth in 360 scores comparing senior vs. junior residents with a magnitude similar to the growth in other competencies including critical self-reflection skills (2).
Content validity exists to the extent that the survey items actually assess the professionalism and communication skills they are intended to measure. The 9-item evaluation includes communication (patients/families, nursing/allied staff), respect (patients, nursing/allied staff), compassion, reliability, honesty/integrity, responsibility, and advocacy.
N.B. Faculty need to complete the 360 evaluation separately from their global ratings at the end of the rotation so the data can be summarized and reported accurately.
Format: 9 items sample aspects of professionalism and communication skills. Each item is scored on 9-point scales with 1-3 = unsatisfactory, 4-6 = meets expectations, and 7-9=excellent.
Uses of the Data
Summarizing the data: Score averages, ranges, and comparative data for the PGY year are provided as part of the data report residents review before their semi-annual meetings. The other data sources for the 360 assessment include the relevant items (e.g., respect) from the residents' clinical educator evaluations and patient surveys. These are also summarized as means and ranges compared with averages for the PGY year.
Formative Uses: Assessment results support development of professionalism and communication skills by individual residents, identify trends in performance across PGY groups and spur possible improvements to the curriculum in these two competencies
Summative Decisions and Remediation: Scores in the unsatisfactory (scores 1-3) would trigger remediation and a low satisfactory score (4) would trigger suggestions for improvement

How to do Better Business: Making Brand Evangelists
The brand evangelist is the holy grail of any marketing team. He/she promotes your brand to the most relevant audiences, and the best part is evangelists are free, unlike employees. But how exactly do you make a brand evangelist?
by Fausto Mendez / photo by Marcleh
Brand evangelists are difficult to make, and some brands can never figure it out. Some companies never even give the concept a shot, assuming brand evangelists are impossible for their respective companies or industries. While it's true that brands like the NBA have a much easier time developing evangelists than brands like Delta Airlines, it's not true that it's impossible to make evangelists for your specific business. Think about it…
Success Story: Virgin Airlines
Prior to Virgin Airlines, it's hard to believe that an airline could ever be a hip brand like Coca Cola, especially in social media, which is where many evangelists do some of their best evangelizing. But if you take a look at the company's online presence, it's clear there is an army of evangelists out there working on behalf of Virgin, and it could not have been as successful as it is today without those evangelists.
What is Virgin's secret? More importantly, what is the brand doing that other airline companies are not doing? The answer is actually pretty simple: Virgin has Richard Branson, the company's CEO and ultimate brand evangelist.
Branson is one of the most famous businessmen on the planet right now. His fame and work rival that of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. More importantly, the global impact of his companies are literally changing the world as I type out this article, not just in terms of technology but in terms of philanthropy as well. Don't believe me? Check back in ten years when Virgin Galactic is shuttling tourists in space as one of the first space "airlines" for consumers. Oh wait, it's already happening, and you can reserve your seat right now.
You could argue that space flight is actually the answer to making brand evangelists for Virgin. After all, that is another major difference between Virgin and the rest of the airline industry, but you'd be wrong. There are a handful of other companies that have achieved similar feats as Virgin Galactic, but most people have no idea those companies even exist. Branson, it turns out, is the key to making brand evangelists out of Virgin customers.
Steve Jobs Illustrates the Importance of Public Leaders
photo by / LJR.Mike
Steve Jobs, Apple and its customers have a similar relationship with each other, but don't misunderstand this. It's true that you need to have a great product/service and a stellar marketing team to make brand evangelists. However, the company's "fearless leader" is ultimately the foundation that ensures the existence of brand evangelists. Without the fearless leader, there'd be little to no die-hard fans, or evangelists.
The Brand Mentalist describes the relationship between Apple and its fans in an excellent piece titled "Evangelism".
"Apple users are evangelists because they truly believe in the values of the company. They feel that the company's motto ("Think Different") is a reflection of who they are as individuals. Apple evangelists feel inspired and connected when they see Apple commercials, as these advertisements show people who share Apple's beliefs, messages that challenge the status quo, and people who actually "Think Different." Most importantly, all of Apple's products are a reflection of this belief. The company has always innovated products that actually do "Think Different" from what the mainstream version of that product is.
It's not a coincidence that the leader of Apple held the same beliefs as the company. Steve Jobs was a misfit. Everything he did in life followed the mantra "Think Different." In fact, you can even argue that one of the reasons he died is because of this belief."
Apple represents Jobs, not the other way around. It's important to keep that in mind when making evangelists. If your company doesn't represent its fearless leader, you'll never make evangelists.
"If you, as a leader, live a life that embodies your company's meaning, and you make sure that all company decisions are a reflection of this mantra, your users will slowly begin to join you. Your users will start to advocate for you, and truly believe that your company is a representation of who they are. They will start to feel that your company always has their best interests, without even questioning you."
As long as your customers feel that your brand's fearless leader shares their beliefs and values, they will trust the company and its decisions. They will even promote it to their friends and family for free. After all, who doesn't love to share good news?
"This kind of loyalty has nothing to do with design or features; this is about the innate need of social creatures to join groups that represents their values."
You can always break down any marketing strategy to basic psychological elements that accurately predict the customer's behavior, and in this case, people naturally feel a primitive desire to join groups with members that share the same values. Exploit this psychological tick with your company's fearless leader, and you have yourself a competent brand-evangelist-making strategy.

Latin Icon Sofia Vergara is Now the Best Paid Actress on TV
The 20 best-paid TV actresses made a combined $183 million during the last twelve months (from June 2012 to June 2013), but Modern Family's uber popular Sofia Vergara leads the pack with a total of $30 million in income.
For most adults (that remember watching TV in the 70s, 80s and 90s), it may come as a surprise that the most popular and best-paid actress on TV is Latina, not white. Since the dawn of TV & film, white actors and actresses have always been the the preferred choice, and their paychecks naturally reflected that bias.
In fact, Vergara's TV husband Ed O'Neill was one of the best-paid TV actors during his reign in the 90's on the legendary sitcom Married with Children, but it's incredible how times have changed since then.
The World Was a Different Place Five Years Ago
Back in college, I was an intern at a mainstream film studio in Santa Monica, CA. It was my job to read incoming screenplays that may or may not be turned into Hollywood movies. Then, I'd recommend the best ones for further consideration and in-depth reading. I fondly remember reading a touching screenplay with a male hispanic lead, and the producers at the film studio loved the script too.
When it was time to finally make a decision about whether we should actually produce the movie, one issue remained on the table: American audiences just don't respond to Hispanic leads. We were not the first nor the last studio to turn it down due to the same issue.
It's amazing how much has changed since then, and that was only back in the Spring of 2008! But that was well before Modern Family, and even President Obama was not yet elected as the first non-white President. Time moves fast these days.
How Does She Do It?
Vergara's enviable income is a result of a combination of lots of acting work and several advertising deals. If you keep up with TV ads, you've noticed her in commercials for Diet Pepsi, Cover Girl, Diet Mountain Dew and other brands, but she's also a star in the Colombian version of Desperate Housewives. She's made several guest appearances on other TV shows, including ABC's Dirty Sexy Money and at least one Mexican telenovela, Fuego En La Sangre. You may have also noticed her in the Three Stooges big screen remake from last year.

Tuesday, March 29, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE -- Jared Walsh and his teammates on Peachtree Ridge's baseball team definitely have long memories.
And after letting a five-run lead after five innings slip away at Collins Hill a week ago, the senior left-hander wasn't about to leave anything to chance in Tuesday's Region 7-AAAAA game with Duluth.
Walsh struck out the side in the sixth and then pitched around an unearned run in the seventh to close out a 3-1 Lions victory over the Wildcats at Lion Field.
"Right before we went out there (in the sixth), I told everybody, 'This was the inning that did us in last week,'" the University of Georgia signee said. "We're up by three. We've got to finish it off."
And finish Walsh (2-3) did, capping a complete-game effort in which he gave up just three hits and the unearned run and struck out 10 Duluth batters with just one walk to help Peachtree Ridge move to 7-6 overall and 3-2 in region play.
Walsh needed to be as sharp as he was because Wildcats starter John Clark (2-2) was also dealing, scattering five hits and two earned runs over six innings with eight strikeouts on just one walk in going the distance.
"Clark threw the ball well," Lions coach Ryan Hanik said. "We were able to capitalize on some defensive miscues. But what we've been preaching since (the Collins Hill loss) last Wednesday (is), I don't care if it's 9-0, we have to play 21 outs."
The Lions did cash in on some shaky Duluth defense early on.
An outfield error cost the Wildcats a chance for a play at the plate on Brett Polachek's RBI single in the bottom of the first, while another error and a passed ball led to an unearned run in the second pushed Peachtree Ridge's lead to 2-0.
"We've played really good defense and our pitching has been dominant all year long," Duluth coach Matt Champitto said. "The last two games, we just have not played very good defense, and it's cost us some runs that really hurt."
With the way Walsh was pitching, Cole Rives' RBI single through a drawn-in infield in the fifth made Peachtree Ridge's 3-0 lead look insurmountable.
Then again, so did the 5-0 advantage the Lions held in Walsh's outing at Collins Hill last week before a third strike to the leadoff hitter wound up at the backstop and ignited a five-run sixth inning.
This time, the lefty fanned all three Duluth hitters, with catcher Tyler Chaney blocking a third strike in the dirt and throwing out the runner at first for the final out of the inning with the Lions' three-run lead intact.
Walsh had just one more obstacle to overcome after Alex Raffensperger led off the top of the seventh with a single and moved to second on a balk.
Polachek snagged Jacob Timmie's liner to first and Walsh made a nifty play on Zack Erwin's dribbler down the first-place line to record the second out.
And even though a run came home when Noah Hoback's fly ball popped out of Rives' glove, the Peachtree Ridge rightfielder redeemed himself by staying with the play and throwing out the Duluth designated hitter to end the game.

A very interesting gentleman - to say the least.
Benjamin Butler promoted a bill in the Congress in 1866 that required US flags to be made of American-manufactured bunting if such could be found to meet or exceed military specs. He then became the founder and president of the United States Bunting Company of Lowell, Massachusetts. The US Bunting Co. was the first American manufacturer of flag bunting that met or exceeded the government and military specifications. The company's first products entered the market in 1867 and by about 1875 all US Navy and Army flags were using its brands of flag fabrics. Prior to this, all US Government and Military flags were made using imported English Bunting.

Latest iPad 2 Rumors: iPad Out, Jobs Back for Big Day
Rumors about iPad 2 have been spreading like a Russian computer virus, and now ─ less than 24 hours before the expected unveiling of the device ─ comes word from the industry blog 9to5Mac that Apple has halted production of its first-generation iPad to clear room on store shelves for the new tablet.
Once supplies of the original iPad have dried up in stores, they won't be refreshed, sources said.
While Apple has yet to confirm the halt of iPad production, it would be in keeping with the company's scheduling of a "special event" in San Francisco tomorrow (March 2), widely believed to be the unveiling of the iPad 2.
And more rumors today are rolling in regarding the event itself, including one on Apple blog settB.it that it will be hosted by company chief executive Steve Jobs. That would be a surprise, considering Jobs is taking a medical leave of absence and has distanced himself from the day-to-day operations of the company he co-founded.
In recent months the iPad 2 rumors have hit warp speed, with several parts manufacturers spilling the devices' secrets to the rabid tech media as fast as iPad pieces have been rolling off the assembly lines. Still, much remains unknown about Apple's next-generation iPad beyond the almost-universal belief that the device will have a camera (possibly two), shedding some weight, and feature increased memory with a more powerful graphics processor.
The event is set to take place at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST) tomorrow.

No waiting 5 minutes for the email server to dish out its que (sp?). The perky lady even waited on the phone to make sure everything went smoothly and she asked for the invoice number to confirm everything on her end, which happened immediately.

CROWN POINT | Valparaiso's Harley Dubsky had a record-setting performance at Youche Country Club on Friday.
Dubsky set a personal-best with nine birdies and fired a school-record and personal-best round of 6-under par 65 to take medalist honors at the Crown Point Invitational.
"I didn't even realize how many birdies I was making," Dubsky said. "I said I had better make birdies because I was hitting the ball so well. I wanted my score to show that I was hitting the ball well. My pitching and chipping was spot-on today, and my driver was cooperating pretty well."
The Times No. 1 Vikings finished second with a team total of 315. State No. 2 Penn won the tournament with a 301 total. Crown Point finished third, while Lake Central was fourth.
"We really started out slowly," Valparaiso coach Bill Miller said. "Harley didn't start slowly, but other girls had a rough six or seven holes, and they really got it back together and played nicely coming in."
Dubsky made four birdies on the front nine, but she made a bogey and a double bogey to make the turn at 1-under.
On the back nine, she made five birdies and four pars. At one point, she made a score of three on six-straight holes.
"I got it going were I had some wedges and chipping that I hit close within 10 feet, and I was just making putts," she said.
The Vikings also got a round of 79 from Jennifer Gough, while Brooke Fullenkamp chipped in with 84 and Lauren Caputo had 87.
"That's what we need every round," Miller said. "It's been a nice team round. Everyone knows how important each shot is and how important their score is."
Tiffany Curtis led the Bulldogs with a round of 74. She finished her round with a birdie on No. 18.
"I pulled it out with a birdie at the end," Curtis said. "I always like to finish strong."
Alyssa Harvey posted a score of 83 for C.P.
Kylie Shoemake led Lake Central with a score of 78.
"It was a scramble kind of day," Shoemake said. "I made a few long putts to save par."
Julia Beggs chipped in to post a score of 84 for the Indians.
North Newton's Alisha Watts fired an 82 to lead the Spartans.

Hello guys welcome to my DeviantArt page, i'm a British Cosplayer by the name of Jack Martin, but most just call me Jackie (Or, if you know me from back in the early days of Matrix Online and CS1.6, AmtracJink) and this is my DevintArt page.
I'm an avid reader, watcher of movies and gamer, if you ever wanna talk to me, note my for my Skype/Steam, i always love making new gamer friends and meeting awesome new people in general!

Currently have two sleeves being worked one, one is Lovecraftian, the other is Gaming and things in general i like, which right now only has a Headcrab on it (Due to tattoos being expensive and real life being even more expensiverererer)
(Also PS i do not sell casts for my Daft Punk helmet nor will i be commisiond to make another, it's to time consuming and the lack of respectable chromers in the UK makes it hard to be one of the few who had the chrome, i am sorry orz)

Youth Camp Inspires Far-reaching Impact
Learning to crochet was a small part of South District summer camp, until a certain thank you note arrived from Africa. When an adult took time to teach youth campers how to crochet at South District Camp this summer, a sweet story began to unfold.

"In no time, students had learned the technique and were making blankets," says camp director Susy ...

Good Men Lyrics - A Boy And His Kite
It's gonna feel like fire
It's gonna hurt like hell
It's gonna to feel like water pouring down an old dry well
It's gonna to feel like crawling up a rocky hill
It's gonna feel like falling off a cliff
Man heart take a spill
All the feat's, holding onto hopes that meet
All of the good men, good men
It's gonna feel like sinking
It's gonna pull down deep
It's gonna feel like soaring high above the lofty peaks
It's gonna feel like pressure bearing down on me
It's gonna feel like freedom
Come on heart set it free, set it free
Don't bend. Don't break.

Let's look at the latest government shutdown news:
The National Transportation Safety Board is not sending investigators to the Tennessee bus crash site. Are these folks on furlough or are they just sitting around their Washington office doing paperwork? If a Congressman was hurt in the crash would they not be on their way to investigate?
The Labor Dept September jobs report is not going out as it apparently is done by "non essential employees". Does this mean a boss/supervisor is not qualified to complete and submit this report? If the person that usually does it was to never return would we never get this report ever again? If you called in sick at your job would your whole company have to shut down or would they somehow get the job done without you?
I believe we are being duped at every turn to make this shutdown seem worse than it really is, don't you? Again, would your company completely shutdown if you called in sick, went on vacation, got fired or laid off, or would it find a way around your absence?

Bodum Gives Kitchen Appliances a Splash of Color
We've always been big fans of Bodum. They tend to make kitchen gear that's both unique, yet basic. This year, they've brought in a bit of color into their line of goods. Above is their new Bistro toaster. The $80 bread warmer comes in eight different rubberized colors and features a built-in, pop-up warming rack for keeping yummies warm. Plus there's two adjustable-width toasting slots and a footed base with cord retainer to adjust cord length. We could do without a large logo on the side though...
We also love this great electric tea kettle. For years we've been looking for a decent looking water boiler that doesn't look like it came straight out of the Sky Mall catalog (no offense) and this may be the closest thing we've found. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this bad boy is available in the U.S., the issue with most well designed electric tea kettles. Seems like plug-in kettles aren't necessarily popular here in the states.
(Image: Bodum)

Yes, logos should be subtle. Companies should take cues from others such as Apple that use simple symbols rather than words to represent their branding.
Speaking of Apple and colors... as long as translucent plastics don't make a return, colors are cool in my book :)

text: Nov 26 - People, it's time I drop some science on you and tell you about Siphonophores. These crazy animals are an order of "colonial jellyfish" in the class Hydrozoa. Colonial, as in their bodies, though they appear to be one large orgamism, are actually constructed of many miniscule individual organisms… kind of like if each of our cells were independent organisms, for example. Most of ya'll will know about the Portuguese Man O' War already, or maybe have seen one, with its crazy inflatable-looking head/bell and its reputation for being a scuba-diver-entangling, murderin' douchebag, but I'll bet less of you are familiar with the crazy and creepy (read: cuddly + adorable) Praya dubia, also known as the "Giant Siphonophore." It's not only one of the largest invertebrates in the world, but one of the longest ANIMALS (although technically it's a whole lot of not-very-long individual animals linked together…) in the world. It's bioluminescent, and its sting has been known to occasionally kill the crap out of an adult human male, and often results in paralysis. Just sayin'.

Hi there! Thanks for all your kind words :)
I have answered this before, but it's fine.
I'm around a size 18, 5'9" and i almost always wear heels - hah!
I recommend Dorothy Perkins and Asos. DP dresses specifically are always WAY too short on me, which makes me super sad. They are a UK brand, but ship to the US and they have a great size range.
Aw, thanks so much :) How cool!
No more modeling for me - I'm a bit too old now (31).
All my specs (I have 4 difference pairs i wear regularly) are from SEE
Dress: Snap brand sz 18
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
Necklace: made by my BFF
Earrings: gift
I found the perfect dress for my brother's wedding today. The wedding is in Texas in July and part if it is outdoors. I didn't think I wanted a halter dress, but I found this one for $18(!!!!) at Marshalls today, so I just had to get it.
I'm not totally finished accessorizing - I am searching for the perfect necklace - but I'm going to stick with gray and pale pink tones.
The dress is a bit more pink/coral in person. I've had the hardest time capturing the fabric. And I just got it today - haven't had time to steam it, sorry for the wrinkles!
thank you so much! I am addicted to lots of big cute jewelry
Hey Everyone! I was approached recently about Ideeli.com and how they are now carrying more items in sizes 14 and up! So, I got a little more in depth in the situation! I interviewed Mary Harmon, the group vice president at Ideeli! Here is that interview:
What is typically the largest size available by designers you carry on Ideeli before the plus size brands started appearing?
Typically, most designers go up to a 12 or 14.
What made Ideeli decide to start carrying plus size brands?
Ideeli decided to expand its plus size offerings in response to overwhelming feedback from its member community. The conversation around special sizes first began with ideeli's followers on both Facebook and Twitter, where members began expressing a strong interest in seeing plus size options on the site. In response, the ideeli buyers worked with the social media team to gather members' suggestions for preferred brands and styles. In November 2010, the site hosted its inaugural Plus Size Perfection event, a multi-brand sale that included the very same brands requested by ideeli members. Member feedback will continue to be a valued component in the evolution of the series, with weekly sales featuring looks from over 100 brands including Suzi Chin, Tahari Arthur S. Levine, CJ by Cookie Johnson and Donna Ricco.
Are you excited to carry these brands?
Yes, we are thrilled to offer all of our members the brands they desire at the prices their wallets will love! We could not ignore the overwhelming member feedback we had from our inaugural plus-size sale event in November and could not be happier to have a dedicated sale on a biweekly basis.
What plus size brands are you beginning to carry at Ideeli?
Past plus size sales have featured sexy frocks from Monif C and Donna Ricco as well as JS Collections and Taylor. We've also included jeans from Salt and Seven, and lingerie from Body Wrap and Rene Rofe in past Plus Size Perfection Sales.
Would you wear some of there items?
Absolutely! At ideeli, we carefully curate every sale to include the freshest styles at the best prices.
Do you think there is a lot of variety for girls who wear sizes 14 and up?
Many designers cap their collections at size 10, yet there is clearly demand for contemporary styles in fuller-figured sizes. Typically, plus-sizes have been underrepresented in retail— particularly in the popular flash sale category –and the plus-size options that are at stores usually have less of a selection and higher price tags. We are excited to bring the most-desired plus-size brands to our members and offer a great selection of styles and sizes on a consistent basis.
How can smaller plus size designers get their clothing on your site?
Our buying team is always looking for new designers to partner with. All inquiries should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I know I am excited to see some companies respond to the 'overwhelming feedback' to provide larger sizes! Now we just need more plus size brands! ;) What do you think of this interview?? Was this helpful? Thanks everyone!
I was so happy to see that a designer deals company was selling plus size items, but I was appalled by the reality. I am so disappointed in my customer service experience with ideeli.com that I refuse to ever order from them again.
Story: I ordered some plus size designer jeans from them. 1) It took almost 5 weeks to receive my order. 2) I paid over $35 for the jeans and when I received them, they had a tag on them from ROSS with a sale price of $21. 3) When I alerted them to this situation, the only option they offered me was for me to return the pants. No apology, no statement about their policies.
I will never order from them again and I would never recommend them to anyone.
I have been living in this cotton maxi dress from forever 21+ for the past two days. It is so comfortable!
Black cotton maxi dress - Forever 21+ (recent!) sz 2X
Denim Jacket - GAP sz XL
Flip Flops - Old Navy (I almost never wear flippy flops, but brunch called for something easy)
Earrings - local shop
Necklace - Forever 21
Bag - Sak (last year)
Glasses - SEE
Nails - Sally Hansen dry nail polish

Dear Members and Friends of the Chamber:
I wanted to take a few moments to update everyone about the Denver Jewish Chambers' new benefits, policies and initiatives.
We are excited about our new bi-monthly morning networking group. This meeting will take place the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month. The mission of this group is to build relationships, networking with each other and increase the business of our members. This new group offers tremendous potential. I would like to thank Lori Eisen and Nathan Silver for their hard work. For more information, please contact Lori or Nathan.
I would also like to bring to your attention our sponsorship policy. This benefit will enable a member to directly advertise their business to our substantial membership list or at the events. This is a very cost effective and easy avenue to advertise your business. For more information, please contact Seth Peritzman or Carolin Topelson.
The Chamber has facilitated monthly events for over two years. Thousands of people attend our events. We have had a variety of speakers and venues. We have always been consistent with our theme of enabling the events to be friendly, inviting and conducive for business. I would like to thank Carolin Topelson organizing these events. She has done an awesome job. I would also like to thank Eric Cook for administering our website and keeping it up and running.
Have you received a call from our membership committee? Pick up the phone because we want to talk to you about your membership as well as hear your suggestions. If you would like more information about membership, please contact Laurence Freeman.
The Denver Jewish Chamber is a volunteer organization. Our mission is to promote commerce in our community and give back to the community. I can attest to the fact that we have been successful in that mission. But we need your help: attend our events and consider volunteering. The larger we become, the more opportunities we can provide.
I would like to thank the Board for their dedication to the Chamber and the community. It takes a lot of effort to turn our thoughts and inspirations into reality.
Thank you,
Seth Peritzman
