Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus security staff is well staffed and is always on duty. You can't come into the school unless the officer's let you in or you have the key card. The same goes for the dorms.
Greek Life None.
Great for these types of students People who art serious about art. It's not al fun and games, if you haven't taken hard art classes in high school, and you're not sure about art- don't come here. Art school is for the dedicated and hard workers.
Bang for the buck I got a good scholarship here so I feel like am getting what I deserve for the money, other than the dorms. I love them, but like I said, it's super expensive regardless.
What to do for fun Cooper Young festival. Trolley Night! Every last friday of a month the galleries are open in the heart of Memphis. Also the Levitt Shell has concerts every weekend during the warm months of fall. (They are free to students) Also, there's the Zoo right next door. The school has a lot of activities for students like pumpkin carving in the fall, to movie night, to submitting to galleries.
Food and Dining I don't have a meal plan. I would suggest that you cook. It's much cheaper, on demand, and easier. The dinning hall is not open very late, so this can be a problem if you have late classes. But I haven't heard of any complaints from those who do have a meal plan.
Dorm Life I love living at Fogleman, it's reeeaaaaalllly expensive, but that studio space is to die for. Weirdly enough, a lot of people don't take advantage of it. But I love being able to spread out on those huge tables and floors. All of the dorms are nicer than any public college i've ever seen, plus it's about the same price anyway. I feel safe in my dorms. It's a community, my friends are right outside. My closest friend here lives right next to me. We care about each other, it's a true community.
Academic Rigor I mean it's art school, if you're expecting to get 7 hours of sleep every night, you will be rudely awakened. Art school will be a shock to the system, especially if you are an overachiever and you expect to get As, like you did in high school. Many professors do not give out As. You just gotta do it and your work will reflect your grades. Studying is a must. Art school isn't easy, and you've gotta love it to be successful in an art school. There are plenty of options for people who may have a hard time with writing, or studying. I will say it's pretty difficult to have a job and take 5 classes with good grades.
Tips for prospective students This is a place that is for either fine arts, or design. There are a lot of students here pursuing illustration and sequential narrative (basically comic inspired styles of art). The degrees are limited and specific, so I would suggest know what you want to do before you attend. I would not suggest this college for people who want to pursue art education, art history, or specialized art degrees. The people are nice here, and I love the friends I have made here. I would say 90% of the professors care about their students. Memphis is not for the meek. It's not the safest city, I carry around pepper spray, and a pocket knife. Just be smart, lock your car every time you leave it. Don't walk alone, don't go out too late.
In three sentences A friendly faculty and staff. Hard work and caffeine. Great school for those who want to figure out what they want to accomplish in the art field.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security really does try their hardest. They're very friendly people and will most of the time walk you back to your car if you're spending the night at school. The school is all one building, so there's not walking back and forth from one department to the next, and it's open 24/7. If you have a bike, make sure to register it with them, and you get a free U shaped lock. It's recommended to get that kind of lock anyway, as there have been several bike thefts. They'll text you for the most part if classes are canceled, or there's been trouble in the area.
Clubs and Activities There's not really a diverse group of clubs and they're mostly art related. I know there's a GSA, a running club, Pottery, Comics, Illustration, Painting, Printmaking, Japanese Culture, and a non-official Christian club. The staff is pretty lenient about starting new clubs.
What to do for fun Downtown is nearby, as is the Cooper-Young neighborhood. There's lots of food options off campus. As a student, you'll get free access to a gym and the zoo (so long as you have your sketchbook). The park is always nearby and it's really fun to just bike around or watch the dogs play in the dog park.
Food and Dining These guys are the bomb. The kitchen staff really gets to know you, and they're super friendly. The food they make is awesome, especially the sweet stuff like cakes and brownies. Some of the food can be a little greasy, but they're planning on adding more healthy options as well. There are plenty of Vegetarian options here.
Dorm Life Most everything is up to date. We can't really change lightbulbs on our own due to EPA regulations, but if you place a work order (which they'll explain, it's super easy), maintenance is pretty quick about doing that. So long as you respect the others living in the dorm, there's no worries about living on campus. All of the buildings are safe and close to campus.
Tips for prospective students Take your classes seriously, you aren't paying thousands of dollars to sit around and not show up or not turn in work. You aren't going to get any respect from your teachers here if you go about that way. Get used to calling your teachers by their first names, it may seem odd at first, but most of them prefer it that way. Be ready to spend a lot of money on supplies your first year. Get used to not getting off for things like Good Friday like you do in High School.
In three sentences A lot of the teachers here are pretty legit, a few of them may seem off-putting at first, but once you get to know them, you learn to respect their oddities and you can get some pretty meaningful lessons out of them. Many of the students are stuck up, but there are also a lot of friendly students as well, you just have to know the right ones. You learn a lot, but you also get a good feel of how rigorous your work outside of college will be.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Wow! Where do I even begin? MCA has 24/7 security that can be reached by phone and is always available at the security desk located inside the school's lobby. The school is open 24/7. Not only can the security be reached by phone, but they also make hourly rounds at the dorms and campus area. It's really nice for myself and my parents to know that I am safe at all times.
Greek Life No greek life.
Clubs and Activities MCA may not have sports and fraternities, but they do have a club for everything! Even if they don't have a club for one's particular interest, new clubs can easily be started!
What to do for fun The possibilities are endless! The school is located in the park, so one can easily get lost under the vast sky as they lay on the luscious grass that stretches before the school. Also, downtown Memphis always offers music, good food, and entertainment on the weekends, as well as Cooper Young.
Food and Dining The food is not bad, but I preferred to eat from my groceries.
Dorm Life Dorm life is fabulous! In my first year, I never once saw a bug! They are very clean and spacious. In addition, they are surrounded by a security gate that can only be accessed by dorm residents and security.
Tips for prospective students If you have the slightest interest in pursuing art, Memphis College of art is the place to be! Not only are the faculty and students inspiring and friendly, but the environment is also a major plus, as the school is located in the heart of the eclectic Memphis. Memphis always has fun activities to offer, but one must not get too distracted from the very challenging curriculum and studio assignments.
In three sentences Memphis College of Art is a wonderful place to become a skilled artist. With a very small number of about four hundred students, it is much easier to get personal attention and help from the art professors. Though there is only one building, the facilities are great!

Categories Comments Campus Safety MCA has an AMAZING campus safety team! on call 24/7 and always present! They are friendly and do their job, all with out interfering in your daily business.
Clubs and Activities Running, animation, Japanese culture, painting, film, kick ball, ultimate frisbee
Great for these types of students Anyone expressive, in any way. People who love people, and love being creative!
Bang for the buck You get amazing value for money at MCA, you learn things you didn't even know that you didn't know!
What to do for fun Overton Park, the Memphis Zoo and the brooks museum are right next to MCA, and downtown Memphis has loads of night life and cultural gatherings!
Food and Dining The cafeteria is small, with a small menu, but the food is good, a little expensive at times.
Dorm Life You have a wide variety to chose from when it comes to dorms, some are notably better than others, over all they are good, and there are always other students to socialize with.
Academic Rigor The work load is intense, but your personal growth is just as large, so well worth the effort it requires of you.
Tips for prospective students dont be afraid of trying things out, MCA has so much to offer, and wether or not you know what you want to major in, MCA has amazing classes, so try them out!
In three sentences MCA has an amazing faculty, who are competent, informed and well able to teach the areas they are involved in. The content of the classes are relevant and challenging, and the community is warm and friendly.

Categories Comments Greek Life None.
Bang for the buck The school gives out a lot of financial aid and scholarships.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is tiny and the food is like high school food. Usually a last resort.
Dorm Life I never lived in the dorms. They are apartment style. Rules are lenient.
Academic Rigor The classes in liberal arts are not difficult at all. The art classes are usually fairly demanding, but intro classes are often a waste of time.
In three sentences A small school with potential but experiencing financial problems. Hence, the academics and opportunities are not as good as larger schools.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe security staff 24-7 Shuttle buses are available to and from dorms to get you to classes
Clubs and Activities Runners club, Photo club, or create your own club
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Activities such as movie night, canoe trips, bowling are just a few
Bang for the buck Price is high but student ratio is low and you get what you need.
What to do for fun Sight see downtown Memphis or go across the street to the Brooks Museum or Memphis Zoo
Tips for prospective students Be ready to work hard
In three sentences School is in a beautiful location next to a park. Great facility at school. Faculty and staff are nice.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The security guards here are great. All of them obviously love their job and are all very nice people. They are always happy to help you out or let you in when your card doesn't work (I couldn't get into my laundry room for weeks!!!) They really make me feel safe.
What to do for fun Students get to visit the Memphis Zoo and Brooks Museum for free. Across the street is a small music hall. Every month, the school has Visiting Artist Lectures that are free. Sometimes a pretty famous artist will be speaking.
Food and Dining There isn't a traditional cafeteria here, but instead a small cafe that has some pre-prepared food and some made-to-order. The food is okay.
Dorm Life It really depends on which dorm you live in. There are apartments shared by two people, apartments shared by 4, and houses for 6 to 8 people. As long as you and your roommate(s) get along, it's all fine. I will say, there are a lot of problems with roaches. Just saying.
Academic Rigor Teachers here expect a lot from you. Some classes require a lot of work outside of the class.
Tips for prospective students Absolutely know for sure what you want to major in, there aren't a lot of choices here. Be prepared to keep up with at least 3 sketchbooks. Also be prepared to fill every single page of them. Don't be discouraged by all of the foundations classes. Everyone has to take them and it's only your freshman year.
In three sentences This school is in some debt, so the actual building isn't as nice as other colleges. The professors here are great and they really care. Some classes here are really interesting as well!

Categories Comments Campus Safety this is the only focus of the school. decent security.
Bang for the buck There is nothing to express a reason why the tuition is this expensive
Academic Rigor the work load is ridiculous.
Tips for prospective students I would seriously consider another art school, they are no longer immursed in the fine arts as they once were, but you will do fine if all you want is a graphic design or photography degree.
In three sentences DO NOT ATTEND. these people are losing everyone's freaking money. You will not get the most for your college experience, go to a more public university, or even a technical college.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus security officers are wonderful. They are extremely friendly, know all the students, and are dedicated to keeping them safe. They always make sure to wish you a nice day or ask how your late night work is going. If you leave the school at night, they will either walk you to the car or watch you to make sure you get there safely.
Greek Life There is no greek life at MCA.
Clubs and Activities There are a few clubs specific to majors, such as the Ceramics Club and the Printmaking Club, however they don't seem to be a serious part of the school. There are only a few activities occasionally that are usually related to a special occasion such as a holiday. It doesn't seem like there's ever really a whole lot going on at the school in terms of extracurricular activity.
Great for these types of students If you are dedicated to bettering yourself as an artist, are serious about your education, and enjoy being challenged, then MCA is a great place for you!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One thing that happens around every Halloween is the Pumpkin Toss, which is where students drop pumpkins off of the third floor to smash in an attempt to hit a target on the ground.
Bang for the buck MCA has a relatively low tuition rate for a private art school, not to mention the fact that they are generous when it comes to scholarships and financial aid. So I would definitely say that it's worth the money you pay.
What to do for fun The school offers free entry into the Memphis Zoo and the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, both of which I recommend visiting with friends or by yourself. MCA is located in the middle of the park, so it can be nice to sit outside and work in your sketchbook or take a walk on the path through the woods.
Food and Dining The school cafe, the Sleaze and Slime, is a very small dining area complete with tables, chairs, couches, and a TV. The food is actually pretty good, and not very expensive either! Definitely great for grabbing a snack between classes. There are a lot of drinks and snacks to choose from, and there's always vegetarian and healthy food options.
Dorm Life I stayed in Fogelman, which is the newest dorm at MCA. The apartment style dorm was really nice to have for my freshman year. You get your own room, share a bathroom with one other roommate, a roomy living room, and a full kitchen. The only grievance I have with Fogelman is the bug problem...We had to kill some roaches.
Academic Rigor The academic classes are stimulating and challenging, yet not overwhelming or unrealistic in the amount of work they assign. Studio classes are challenging, but not impossibly so. You should expect to spend at LEAST 6 hours a week on studio work, but it's nothing a serious student can't handle.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you put together a good portfolio when you apply. MCA offers some amazing portfolio scholarships that can pay for half or more of your schooling! Also, become familiar with and keep in touch with the people in administration. They are usually mindful of any situation you may be in and are willing to help!
In three sentences MCA is a small school, meaning the classes are small so that you can develop close relationships with your professors and fellow students. There's always studio space available as well as access to outside areas to get some fresh air. The school also possesses a caring and helpful staff that will usually work with you to solve any problems that you might experience while attending MCA.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Students are given I.D. badges with and electronic key swipe for entering the school. There is also a shuttle that runs from the dorms to the school at any time. The guards are very friendly and great at their jobs. They would even go out of their way to drive you to your apartment(not part of the school) just to make sure you got home safe. The guards take their job very seriously.
What to do for fun There is always some event happening in Memphis. Admission is free for MCA students at the Brooks Museum of Art, and at the Memphis Zoo.
Food and Dining There is only one place in the school to get food. Its good but I would suggest learning how to cook.
Dorm Life The dorms are good but you save more money getting your own apartment off campus
Academic Rigor Tough at first but becomes fun once you get the hang of how everything works.
Tips for prospective students Don't take bad critiques personally, they make you stronger as an artist and help you develop your work.
In three sentences MCA gives an individualized education. Great for people who prefer a small classroom and teachers that actually care about you. More conceptually based than most other art colleges.

I am new to archery and recently purchased a Bear Encounter. Yesterday I was shooting for the first time, I have it set to 50lb draw and it is a little difficult (have to build some muscle) but after shooting for awhile I had shot where I pulled back and released the string with an arrow. The bow essentially dry fired, the string came off the Cam (but still captured in the bow itself) and went limp and the arrow went nowhere.
The bow doesn't appear damaged (though I'm not expert, I am going to take a cu-tip and look for cracks but I couldn't see anything with my eye) and I have a shop looking at it.
I'm just trying to understand what happened.
Is it possible that maybe (because I was tired and haven't trained with the bow much) poor form could lead to this happening?
The only thing that I can come up with is maybe I didn't have the string pulled straight back and had it at an angle so that when I released it the force was off center and the string hit the bow as opposed to being allowed to fire the arrow.
Does this sound plausible? Other scenarios?
I think I understand the proper way to draw and everything, I think I just made a really big noob mistake. I'm just hoping it doesn't cost me. Live and learn I guess.

School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (SLLC) The minor in Arabic (21 credits) provides a solid grounding in Modern Standard Arabic and colloquial Arabic. Students who satisfy the requirements of the minor in Arabic can expect to be able to read, write, and communicate orally in Modern Standard Arabic and one of the Arabic dialects at a level that would allow them to interact with native speakers and perform effectively in a daily environment, watch TV and films in Arabic, engage with authentic texts, write short papers in Arabic, and perform other tasks expected from an Advanced Level learner. The materials used to further language acquisition are culturally rich resources, and students completing the minor will have become familiar with many of the cultural patterns, social issues, historical events, artistic traditions, and elements of daily life of the people whose cultures are rooted in Arabic. Students interested in pursuing the minor in Arabic should contact the undergraduate advisor, who will be responsible for oversight and record keeping. Students should declare the minor in Arabic at least one year prior to graduation. Prerequisites (12 credits):
No prerequisites are required for students with equivalent knowledge. Placement testing is mandatory. Courses required for Minor (21 credits): All prerequisites imply "or equivalent knowledge."

Gin and Topics: Genius Man Destroys Wheel of FortuneThe Big Question: Which PR Buzzwords Must Die?Business Spring Cleaning: Squeaky Clean Social Media ChannelsGin and Topics: Microwave Cameras, Provocative Guys, and MoreWhat is the Future of Owned Media?Contributed Content is on the Rise — Here's How to Stand OutFive Owned Media Metrics Every Communicator Should TrackHelp Save Journalism: Pay for News -
Isn't PR About Developing and Fostering Relationships?
Even though I tweeted the July 4 New York Times article, "Spinning the Web: PR In Silicon Valley", it's created quite a stir in our industry and I'd be remiss in not commenting on it.
The PR industry is changing. That's right. I said it. The PR industry is changing. We need to get on the bandwagon already. A survey by IABC showed that two out of three communicators think Twitter is a fad. I think most communicators are as fearful as their clients about change and getting out of their comfort boxes. I also think Twitter eventually will be a bunch of PR people talking to a bunch of PR people, but there will be a new technology that will continue to allow us to develop and foster relationships online.
But isn't this what PR is all about? Developing and fostering relationships? So why would any of us, as the New York Times article suggests, IGNORE any of the relationships we've spent our careers building? If they're still in business, as are the major newspapers, magazines, and bloggers, isn't it our job to make sure we reach all of them, in addition to the influencers who can be found on the social networks?, on behalf of our clients?
At Arment Dietrich, we always talk about how our ideal client allows us to marry traditional and new communication for better results. We like social media because it's MUCH easier to measure than traditional communication. But we also don't ignore mainstream media just because a client says the blogger or reporter is cynical.
I'm willing to bet TechCrunch, AllThingsDigital, and GigaOM will never take a call, pitch, tweet, email, or Facebook message from Brooke Hammerling or anyone on her team ever again. Which truly is a disservice to any of their tech clients.
About Gini Dietrich
Gini Dietrich is the founder and CEO of Arment Dietrich, an integrated marketing communications firm. She is the author of Spin Sucks, co-author of Marketing in the Round, and co-host of Inside PR. She also is the lead blogger at Spin Sucks and is the founder of Spin Sucks Pro.
Gini, you're right on target about our responsibility to develop and foster relationships. If we are not in the business to foster a relationship between us, our companies, our products or services, and the end-users, our valuable clients, then what in the world are we doing? That makes us no more than one-hit wonders who spend way too much money and time on acquisition marketing. It also creates a shallow, empty sale that has no chance of life or loyalty after initial payment.
If we are really communicating, marketing and developing the relationships you suggest with a well-defined plan in mind, then it is our responsibility to identify our target markets, to define where they exist, where they hang out, where they live, what they read, where they do business, and more. This lends itself to the elimination of random acts of marketing.
If we have taken the time to define and find our potential/clients, then being on Twitter, whether with or ahead of our clients, is a natural extension of that process.
Who cares if Twitter is replaced next year with the next, new, shiny application? I hope that doesn't happen because of what I see as its enormous potential. But if it does, our responsibility has not changed, and that is to talk to our clients where they are, or where they are going to be, or where we invite them to be. We don't have the luxury of sitting this one out, waiting to see what comes and goes so we can camp on what stays. Technology is changing at such a rapid pace that there will be tools that will come and go regularly. If we pay attention to the definition of our clients and what messages they need to hear from us, then we can decide what applications merit our attention.
I agree with you Gini. Even if Twitter is a fad, I have met and conversed with more new people in the past couple months than I have in the past 2 years. Now, it is my job to make the most out of the connections I'm making. Whether it's someone who I can offer help to professionally, someone whom I'd like to work for or with, or simply someone who can recommend a good mechanic, these are all valuable connections or may be at some point in the future.
Good post Gini. There are signs already for people being bored for social media as a hype. That means it's finding its place as one more communication channel. I see all this as an increase of channels, not that they would be replacing "old" media so much, but bringing new ones in.
Social media is very simple: people talking to each other, so no major changes anywhere, but increased ways for us to keep up the good PR. We just have to be aware what's going on and use the best of it.
You're so right. The PR industry is changing… Perhaps we need another PR-Paul Revere-to proclaim that on the social (and MSM) networks.
But while some things may change – the essence of our profession remains constant: We are relationship builders and storytellers.
And it's our job to reach out to relevant new audiences whether they're traditional media, bloggers or other influencers on or off social networks.
While Twitter may be the hot Flavor of the Month, and we all may just be blogging about PR and blogging to other PR bloggers, there is something more to it.
Brian Solis had a nice response to the NYT piece, also arguing for Relationship Building. http://www.briansolis.com/2009/07/pr-does-not-stand-for-press-release-equalizing-spikes-and-valleys/
His points are valid: It's the Public in PR; the Social in social media; it's the interaction and engagement that helps us develop relationships, and grow as professionals. FWIW.
If Twitter is a fad, then so is the Internet. It'll change and evolve, but the REASON for it will not go away any more than "the Web." 🙂
Long live Al Gore, the Interwebs, the public in PR, and the social in social media! I also love that Solis says PR is not publicity and PR is not spin (hence the inception of this very blog!).
Let's focus on the relationships, people! It's what we've done since our industry began.

I'm not in the PR business. I'm just a CEO who runs a business. Learning, growing and creating new relationships is a part of my job. I met Gini on Twitter which led me to her blog etc. and this can be said for many new relationships. If it is Twitter or another vehicle it is still all about the relationship. If you are not growing, you are dying.

Your sleep deserves an environment that is supportive and made from natural materials. This style of the Royal-Pedic Natural Organic Cotton Mattress contains a chemical-free French Wool Wrap. The wrap is layered above the interior hand-tufted organic cotton padding, and then quilted to the 100% organic cotton ticking cover for safe, healthy and supportive sleep. The odorless and untreated French wool wrap not only provides a natural fire-retardant barrier that meets all Federal and State fire standards, but is also naturally dust mite resistant – an added benefit for allergy sufferers. Surrounding Royal-Pedic's innovative, Swiss-designed Royal-Flex® 630i innerspring system are additional layers of organic cotton padding, which are supported by a 10-ounce, heavy-duty, organic cotton canvas fabric that prevents the padding from pocketing down and entangling in the innerspring's coils.
Royal-Pedic uses only GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton fabric in the making of this mattress. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification provides credible assurance to the consumer of the fabric's organic status, from harvesting of raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing.
The innerspring features 68% more coils than found in standard mattresses, plus uses T-Spring side supports around the perimeter for edge-to-edge comfort. Strong, yet simultaneously flexible, the coils won't sag over time, but will contour to your body's shape for a restful and restorative sleep. The Natural Organic Cotton with Wool Wrap mattress is very firm and offers outstanding orthopedic support. For those who like a firm mattress, but prefer a more plush surface we recommend adding the optional Royal-Pedic 2", 3", or 4" organic cotton pillowtop pad (sold separately). 10-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty.
The Natural Organic Cotton Mattress with Wool Wrap is also available as a set with Royal Pedic's matching H-2 Organic Cotton Box Spring with French Wool. Metal bed frames that perfectly fit the set are also available. We also offer a service to remove your old mattress for a nominal fee. Bed sets, bed frames, and mattress removal service all sold separately.
Royal-Pedic Natural Organic Cotton with Wool Wrap Mattresses are designed for someone who:
Royal-Pedic products are subject to Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP), and because each is custom made, are also subject to a No Return Policy. For details, see the Important Information tab.
Royal-Pedic Natural Organic Cotton Mattresses with Wool Wrap have an 8-1/2" depth, and are available in 6 sizes plus a Crib.
Why a Royal-Pedic Natural Organic Cotton with Wool Wrap Mattress?
Looking from the outside in, let's start with the Mattress cover. The inner organic cotton padding and French wool wrap are completely encased in Royal-Pedic's 100% natural organic cotton ticking cover (woven in the U.S. and Peru). The organic cotton ventilates body heat, is free of chemicals, and is also very durable. In contrast, most mattress manufacturers use cheaper polyester fabrics that also contain a dangerous chemical flame retardant.
Directly beneath the organic cotton cover, the French wool wrap is layered on top of the organic cotton padding, and acts as a natural fire barrier that meets Federal and State codes without the use of toxic chemicals. The odorless wool wrap is also naturally resistant to dust mites, plus wicks away moisture and helps maintain a comfortable surface temperature. The curl of the French wool adds resiliency and bounce, yet won't mat down or leave body imprints like crimped wool fibers can.
Under that, organic staple cotton padding is hand layered on each side of the innerspring to provide a consistent and supportive sleep surface. Royal-Pedic uses only the finest organic staple cotton from California, Texas and Peru. Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and is completely free of all flame retardants and chemical sprays. No polyurethane foam is used, not only because of its limited ability to provide consistent body support over time as it breaks down, but also because it can off-gas harmful petrochemical vapors. These chemicals are often those that health-conscious people and those with allergies or chemical sensitivities (MCS) look to avoid.
Below that, coils are protected with a 10-ounce, 100% organic cotton canvas fabric, added to support the many layers of organic cotton padding and prevent them from pocketing down and getting entangled in the innerspring's coils. By comparison, many other mattresses include a support pad made of ground-up scraps of various synthetic materials glued to nylon webbing.
Next, comes the innerspring system. This mattress utilizes the Royal-Flex® 630i Innerspring – engineered in Switzerland, and containing approximately 68% more coils than industry standard. The innersprings are double heat tempered to provide better durability and greater resistance to sagging. The coil springs are open ended, unknotted, six-turn coils that provide added flexibility, which translates into greater sensitivity to your body's contours for better support and relaxation.
Now, think about what holds the innerspring together. Royal-Pedic uses T-spring side supports around the perimeter of the innerspring system to provide better edge firmness and support. T-Spring side supports are a stronger, safer alternative to the common foam cylinders or wedges made from petrochemicals that are so often used by mattress manufacturers.
Finally, think about craftsmanship. This natural organic mattress is hand tufted the traditional way with European tufting straps that further pre-compress the organic cotton padding for greater orthopedic back support. Royal-Pedic does not use buttons to tuft its mattresses because buttons tend to eventually turn on their sides, resulting in an uncomfortable sleep surface.
If you are considering purchasing a bed set, Royal-Pedic's H-2 organic cotton box spring with wool wrap provides firm, yet flexible support for many years of comfort and satisfaction. On the inside, everything about this box spring says quality, strength and durability, from the number, type and gauge of the coils used, to the hotel-grade foundation that the coils rest on. This exceptional box spring is covered in the same natural organic cotton fabric as the mattress, and is padded at the top with a layer of organic cotton to lend added support to the bottom of the mattress, plus a layering of French Wool as a fire barrier. Heavy-duty organic cotton fabric is used on the underside of the box spring in place of the customary thin, non-woven synthetic that often droops and pills. To finish, brass corner guards are installed on lower corners instead of the plastic ones that so easily break off.

Care Instructions:
King Size Mattresses:
Even though Royal-Pedic utilizes the most resilient materials available, King size mattresses and/or pillow-top pads with quilted surfaces may break in unevenly as two people sleep on either side of the middle 4‒6 inches of the mattress. The result may appear as a small hump in the middle. Royal-Pedic recommends laying in the middle of the mattress some of the time, especially while the materials are new. Materials will then break in more evenly resulting in a more consistent sleeping surface.

A Surbiton shop's decision to go pink has polarised opinion among Surrey Comet readers - with reaction ranging from "hideous" to "fantastic".
It comes after Liberal Democrat Kingston councillors launched a petition against the owners of FP Turner and Sons to reverse their decision to paint the frontage bright pink.
Commenting on our story yesterday, DB said: "It is hideous without a doubt... That said, I welcome any attempt to try to tidy up Surbiton's street scene, but I fear we have a long way to go!"
Peterf17 said: "I agree that this is horrible and detrimental the appearance of the ever shabbier looking Victoria [Road]."
But Simbali said: "Love it! The colour definitely gets your attention, I just hope the shop lives up to it with quality goods."
And Kingstonpaul said: "Fantastic. Love it. Looks like a shrine to My Little Pony."
So what would Kingston look like if more buildings turned pink? Here's a few examples of how the new-look Pinkston upon Thames could look...
The Cambridge Road Estate
The Guildhall (Kingston Council's headquarters) in Pinkston town centre
Hampton Court Palace in pink - looking very similar to the end of Ghostbusters 2
Pinkston Bridge
The Rose Theatre - revamped as the Rosey Theatre
The new pink phoneboxes of Pinkston town centre
The Shrubsole Memorial in Pinkston town centre
And last but definitely not least... a pink Tolworth Tower you can enjoy from miles away!
The Surrey Comet went pink in May 2011 when journalists Louise Robertson and Jonathan Portlock won a Heart of Equality award from Gay Surrey

If your dating life feels stuck in a rut, an adrenaline boost is just the ticket for revving up your couple time. You'll feel the rush on one of these high-energy, adventure-packed extreme dates.
Whitewater Rafting
Start your whitewater adventure by seeking out a professional outfitter, who will guide you safely down the river and provide the necessary equipment. Bring along a waterproof disposable camera to record the memories of your exhilarating date.
Sky Diving
If this is your first sky diving experience, you'll need to start with training. Sign up as a couple for a training course, so you'll both be ready to make your first jump at the same time. Initial ground courses usually last for a few hours and are followed by an assisted jump. If you'd prefer to have a shorter training period, look for a location that offers tandem jumps, during which the new sky diver is harnessed to a professional for the entire experience.
Locations that offer sky diving experiences are called drop zones, and the United States Parachute Association sets stringent safety standards for them. The organization maintains a list of member drop zones.
Despite the specific name, stand up paddleboarding is flexible. You can stand and paddle, but you can also choose to kneel or sit and relax. Plus, it's easy to learn, and both you and your date can become successful at it in as little as an hour.
For your date, you might not be interested in making a large investment in gear, but equipment, such as a board and a paddle, can often be rented from surf shops. Don't forget to wear a personal floatation device, too!
Rock Climbing
If climbing is a new experience for both of you, it's a good idea to start your date with an introductory class, but if one of you has experience, you can help the other along. Most gyms offer multiple challenge levels in their climbing areas, so there's something for everyone.
Indoor rock climbing offers the benefits of a controlled climate, the assistance of professionals and equipment for rent. Of course, if you're feeling extra adventurous, outdoor rock climbing is a good summer alternative.
Zip Lining
Depending on the location you choose, you may take a single trip down the wire or sign up for a zip line tour. A tour is typically a several-hour experience, during which you'll go on multiple lines. Some tours also involve additional challenge features, such as suspension bridges or high ropes courses. Tours may even include dual lines, so you and your date can race down parallel cables.
Not only will extreme dates will get your adrenaline racing and your heart pounding, but they'll also teach you to work together and trust one another. These five adventures are thrilling experiences that the two of you will never forget.

Story Time: The Blood of Our Ancestors
8 comments:
So beautiful a sentiment, Matty. :)
I too love the story from the view of the healer, as I agree, I am hard-pressed not to just help everyone, no matter sides or factions or races.
I am later in replying because I wanted to finish posting my piece for Bear's challenge before I read any others. Hmm, was it just you and I? If so, that will certainly make me sad, for Bear's was a wonderful challenge. Though, admittedly, this would have taken me longer from scratch, so I will keep my fingers crossed.
~ EffyRepliesOf course, as I re-read it, it's not done. We have a saying in our writers' group - Writing is never finished, it's only due! Since he posted that recently I am sure a few folks will add their take. I am not sure I was clear in my comments to him -- the themes, however cliche they are, are important to us; it's the snarky critics who don't see how those universal themes continue to resonate. (Okay, don't hate, but I am not a Twilight fan, but at least value her message to young lovers how important and awesome it is "to wait." Many young teenagers and adolescents need to hear that, even if it does come in the form of sparkly vampires.)
Thank you for your kind words -now off to read your story!

National Treasure 2: Book Of Secrets
New trailer for National Treasure 2: Book Of Secrets released this weekend.
LOTS of Masonic symbols used. LOTS. S&Cs, PM jewels, AASR double eagle, KT cross, a Shrine symbol - and that's what I saw viewed on a tiny postage stamp screen.
Scenes were shot at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, not with any Masonic references, but standing in for the Smithsonian. Masons were big heros in the first film. Let's hope they stick with that theme. (I smell an evil, non-Masonic Illuminati lurking in this story line. Or maybe the Knights of the Golden Circle are trying to rise again!)

Unfortunately Surefire doesn't retain the log output (see SUREFIRE-871) so the test log is empty, we don't know which part of the test triggered which exit in HDFS. To make this debuggable, let's hook this in MiniDFSCluster via installing a security manager that overrides checkExit (ala TestClusterId) or mock out System.exit in the code itself. I think the former is preferable though we'll need to keep the door open for tests that want to set their own security manager (should be fine to override this one some times). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Hemochromatosis |
Hemochromatosis01/15/2009 |
How is a hemochromatosis test done & where do I get it done? I`ve had a blood test down to test iron. Results are Ferritin 56,Transferein saturation 39.4 Total iron 164,IBC is 414. Low and high results. I am a 46 year old woman. What does this test mean?
The labs that you report appear to be normal with respect to our laboratory standards. If you are still curious about your genetic status, you could request a genetic assay for the hemochromatosis gene. That can be done through your physician, or, if you live close to Columbus, Ohio, through our system by contacting Daphne Lockett at 614-293-9441.

One of the sessions in the JISC CETIS Conference 2008 Programme
Contents |
If you were able to plan a 10 year programme of trans-disciplinary research and technology (ICT) development, what challenge would you address and what would your programme look like? What challenges can you see where there are identifiable questions to be answered? What methods could be used to help to answer the questions? How should we deal with complexity? What disciplines should collaborators come from?
This will be a blank-sheet session with no pre-arranged presenters. Come ready to talk about the big picture and ready to write on flip charts.
The media:GrandChallenges.ppt slides from the session illustrate the approach taken (which helps explain the photographs posted to Flickr).
After coffee break we had a free discussion. This is available as four audio files in MP3 (around 6Mb each) and Ogg Vorbis (around 25Mb each) formats:

It is still Epiphanytide in the EF, I have Mass this evening, so I have been turning my mind to my homily. The reading is the Epiphany at Cana, that wonderful mysterious wedding, how sad it is almost lost in the three year cycle.
The Mother of Jesus is there. In John's Gospel she appears here for the first time, the last time she appears is at the foot of the Cross, both times she is referred to as "woman". Hardline Protestants would suggest this was Jesus being contemptuous of her but on the contrary she is in Jesus' mind and that of John "The Woman" who is faithful to the Tree of the Cross. Her fidelity is a reversal of Eve's infidelity because she is the new Eve as Jesus is the new Adam. Her words to the servants about obedience "Do whatever he tells you" undoes Eve's command to Adam, "to take and eat" in which humankind are condemned to disobedience sin and estrangement from God.
Here, with her direct involvement, the water of the Old Testament is turned into the good new wine of the New and Eternal Covenant. The wine reminds us of the Eucharist, it is at Mary's behest it is poured out.
We can see the now empty six stone jars as being the days of creation, they are drained, used up awaiting refreshment, to be filled with baptismal water which will itself, like those baptised be transformed.
If we can look below the surface, we can ask ourselves whose wedding this is. Is it an unknown Jewish couple or is is it really the mystical wedding of Christ himself to those born of water and wine: Baptism and the Eucharist

Business activity in the U.S. Midwest expanded in December, a report showed on Friday, boosted by a rebound in customer demand.
Continue Reading Below
But the pace of hiring in the sector was the slowest it has been in more than three years.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago business barometer rose to 51.6 from 50.4. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a reading of 51.0.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the regional economy.
The forward-looking new orders gauge rebounded to 54.0 after slipping to a more than three-year low of 45.3 in November.
Employment, however, dropped to 45.9 in December, the lowest since November 2009. It stood at 55.2 last month.

I hear from runners I know that Vibram 5 Fingers shoes are the greatest invention since… well, shoes. Reader Mark agrees, and when his pair developed burst seams and some other holes, he was unhappy. He would miss his unbelievably dorky-looking but comfortable shoes. So he did the only logical thing: he posted a photo essay online of the wonderful times that he and his shoes had together, and sent a link to Vibram USA.

Lightning Arrestor for the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router
Installing the Lightning Arrestor
To Install the Lightning Arrestor
Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request
Lightning Arrestor for the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router
Last Updated: February 2013Part Number: OL-26300-02This document describes the Cisco Lightning Arrestor kit (CGR-LA-NM-NF) for use on the Cisco 1240 Connected Grid Router and provides instructions for mounting.
This document covers the following topics:
•Installing the Lightning Arrestor
•Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request
The Cisco Lightning Arrestor provides a level of safety protection to the user as well as to wireless equipment by shunting to ground over-voltage transients induced into outdoor antennas and cables. These transients, in mild cases can produce interfering signals in a wireless system, and in extreme cases, can be dangerous and destructive.
Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct contact with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco Lightning Arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the overvoltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components.
The Lightning Arrestor also provides the following benefits:
•Broadband operation
•DC continuity for outdoor powering
•Reversed installation
•Permanently installed gas capsule
The lightning arrestor is necessary when installing an external antenna to the Cisco CGR 1240.
Kit Contents
The lightning arrestor kit (CGR-LA-NM-NF) contains the following parts:
•Lightning arrestor, nut, and washer
•Grounding lug
Accessory Kit
Use the accessory kit (CGR-N-CONN) to convert from an integrated chassis-mounted antenna to an external antenna installation.
This kit contains:
•Bulkhead-mounted MCX (female) to N (female) coaxial adapter, quantity of 2
•N-type weather cap for temporary installation (if required)
•Coaxial cable assembly (LMR-100 or equivalent), RA-QMA(m) to RA-MCX (m), 17.5 inches, quantity of 2
•Nylon cable tie wraps, 4 inches, quantity of 2
Technical Specifications
The following are the technical specifications of the Lightning Arrestor:
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030Installation Considerations
We recommend that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor onto the router.
The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
•Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the chassis-mounted bulkhead connector.
•The contact points between the bulkhead connector and the lightning arrestor must be clean and free of dust and moisture.
•Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Installing the Lightning Arrestor
The Cisco Lightning Arrestor must be bulkhead-mounted onto the router chassis. The lightning arrestor must be attached directly onto a well-grounded chassis through the threaded shaft of the lightning arrestor and the bulkhead adapter. See Figure 1.
Note This part might be factory installed in an antenna port on the router when the router is shipped.
Note When you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning protection installation in your local area.
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074Figure 1 Lightning Arrestor Detail
1 Unprotected side N jack (to antenna)
2 Lightning arrestor
3 Protected side N plug (to radio)
4 N-bulkhead port (on host chassis)
To Install the Lightning Arrestor
To install the lightning arrestor:
Step 1 Install the bulkhead N-connector adapter onto the appropriate antenna port on the router chassis. Tighten to a 6-to-7 ft-lbs torque rating.
Step 2 Install the N-plug end of the lightning arrestor onto the top of the bulkhead N-connector). Tighten to a 6-to-7 ft-lbs torque rating.
Step 3 Install the N-plug end of your antenna cable onto the N-jack of the lightning arrestor. Tighten to a 6-to-7 ft-lbs torque rating.

Ealing Council email dated 27 July 2015
During 2015 Ealing Council has been introducing an internet-only system for parking permits and visitor parking. The system is experiencing significant teething problems. For example, you are not sent a receipt when you pay for your parking permit by credit/debit card and you no longer receive a paper version of your annual permit. You therefore do not have proof of payment. We have gathered together some basic information which may help you if you have problems.
The next Northfield ward forum will be on 10 June at Mount Carmel School to discuss amongst other things policing and the 24-hour weekend running of the underground system scheduled to start on 12 September 2015.

On Wednesday's New Day on CNN, hosts Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota threw a pity party for reporter April Ryan, commiserating with her about how unfairly Trump treats the "credible" media, after her testy exchange with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer Tuesday. Ryan laughably denied she wanted to "be" the story, after coming on national television to defend herself. She went on to bash conservative and independent media in press briefings as peddlers of "fake news" that shouldn't be given media credentials.

The problem with this approach is wanting to have it both ways. Pelley has a "pro-truth" bias, but he's somehow unbiased. He's honored for calling Trump "divorced from reality" and calling Trump aide Kellyanne Conway a "fearless fabulist."

Christchurch, 15 July 1996 APEC trade ministers
SEE ALSO: press releases WTO news Mike Moore's speeches
Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
APEC has established a high level of ambition for regional trade liberalization. I hope that you can also transmit a high level of ambition to the first Ministerial meeting of the WTO in Singapore this December.
Singapore will not be an easy meeting. It is the first political rendez-vous of a new institution, the first milestone on the ambitious path which was charted by the Marrakesh Agreement. In Singapore we can expect at least 3,000 people, representing 120 member governments, 30 accession candidates, other international organizations, NGOs representing environment, consumer, and development groups - 60 environmental groups alone - as well as trade unions, business and of course the media from all over the world.
Their presence will testify to the political importance that is attached everywhere to the implications, the hopes, the anxieties that go with trade, globalization and interdependence. In all of our countries, people are concerned with their prospects for growth and their prospects for jobs. Issues like structural adjustment in both developed and developing countries, the marginalization of the least-developed countries, the relationship between regional and multilateral liberalization, and the universality of the trading system - these challenges are not ones for some far-off future which we can contemplate in a detached or academic way. They are already with us - they will be on the table at Singapore whether we put them there or not - and they call for a response.
You, the Ministers, have to give answers to those hopes and those anxieties just as I hope you will give clear instructions to your representatives in Geneva to move on to reach the maximum possible level of consensus on all the most important issues that still divide us.
It is still hard to say how far we are from reaching this consensus, but I have to call your attention to the fact that time is limited, and that we are not seeing sufficient movement towards agreement. The problem we face is not one of procedure, but one of substance.
There is no justifiable reason not to agree before Singapore on a work programme, the more so since much of it is already in the built-in agenda.
I know that I am talking to Ministers from regions where the benefits of the open multilateral trading system have been most significant. Your APEC agenda already covers almost everything that has been proposed for Singapore. It would be difficult to explain that what is possible in APEC is not possible in the WTO.
Practically everyone sees implementation as a key element of the Singapore conference, and of course it is, but we should remember that in the context of the Uruguay Round results implementation has a very dynamic meaning. It certainly does not mean standing still and looking back at where we came from. The world is moving ahead, with us or without us. Your economies are doing the same. If we do not keep the trading system moving forward too, we risk leaving the unstoppable movement towards regional and global integration without adequate rules and without a clear vision. The difference is a fundamental one.
In the light of the discussions we have had so far in Geneva, I can envisage a draft Ministerial Declaration for Singapore which would cover the following main elements:
I would like to briefly outline the situation concerning each of these points as I see it.
Elsewhere there is more room for improvement, especially concerning notifications. Other delegations have expressed strong concerns about the outlook for implementation of the textiles agreement. These concerns deserve serious attention.
I would like to recall also that we should report at Singapore on the implementation of the Marrakesh Declaration on Least-Developed Countries - concrete progress in this regard is the minimum that we should be able to do to aid integration of the poorest countries into the world economy and its benefits. I will have more to say on this later.
Implementation also includes the work of the Committee on Trade and Environment. The Committee has done useful work in bringing together environmental and trade interests and beginning to define the basis for a mutually supportive relationship, and concrete results of solid value are within reach; what is needed is the political will to take hold of them. I see worrying signs that this will is not sufficiently present.
The built-in agenda involves, among other commitments, the start of new negotiations in major sectors, such as services and agriculture, at the turn of the century. The necessity of preparing adequately for these negotiations has been emphasized. We sometimes hear the complaint that multilateral negotiations move too slowly. However, one of the reasons the Uruguay Round took so long was that, in many sectors, preparation did not begin until after the negotiations were launched. Since governments have already agreed on the timing of these new negotiations, it is surely logical to begin the necessary preparatory study and analysis well in advance - this is important, not least, to ensure that all the members of the WTO, whatever their level of development, are able to participate fully.
Furthermore, though the work programme must start from the built-in agenda, a number of delegations have made the point that it cannot be confined to it. For one thing, they have noted that the built-in agenda has some very obvious gaps, such as industrial tariffs. The hope has also been expressed that the Singapore conference might give a further liberalizing impulse in a number of sectors where the Uruguay Round negotiations fell short of success.
To conclude, let me sum up by saying that you have a choice: you can go to Singapore with important issues still open and spend a week haggling about texts under the pressure not only of time but of the world's attention. To achieve consensus in such circumstances would be much more difficult.
Or on the other hand you can go to Singapore having already agreed on the outstanding issues and thus be free to have a creative interchange on the key political and institutional challenges in the trading system. This requires directing your representatives in Geneva clearly to reach such an agreement and giving them the necessary flexibility to do so.
Doing so will make it possible for you, the Ministers, to concentrate on the task that only you can really do - renewing the sense of purpose and direction of the multilateral system and making your commitment to it clear to the world.

Returns a global property or a collection of global properties for the local farm.
Get-SPFarmConfig [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>] [-ServiceConnectionPoint <SwitchParameter>]
The Get-SPFarmConfig cmdlet retrieves global settings for the local farm that are not members of the SPFarm object. This cmdlet creates a new PSCustomObject object from the collection of properties returned from the local farm, and then adds this object to the pipeline. The PSCustomObject object can be read, or modified and passed to the Set-SPFarmConfig cmdlet to change parameter values.
The properties collected in the PSCustomObject object must be farm-wide settings, and must be configurable only once for the entire farm. The parameter name added to the PSCustomObject object must match exactly the input parameter name for the Set-SPFarmConfig cmdlet.
SharePoint Management Shell
Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
| ||
ServiceConnectionPoint | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Gets the information stored in the current farm's service connection point in Active Directory. |
$a = Get-SPFarmConfig
$a.AjaxTimeout = 200
$a | Set-SPFarmConfig
This example uses the Get-SPFarmConfig
cmdlet to add the Ajax Timeout
setting to the PSCustomObject object, sets the value for Ajax Timeout
, and then passes PSCustomObject to the Set-SPFarmConfig cmdlet to change the Ajax Timeout
setting. Ajax Timeout
, a farm-wide setting, is a member of the SPWebService object and cannot be accessed with a Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
You can perform the same operations with either of the following commands.
Set-SPFarmConfig -AjaxTimeout 200
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select AjaxTimeout 200

Imagine that—lying in bed atop comfy bed sheets, your head nestled atop an impossibly fluffy down pillow, with another extra-huggable body pillow at your side. It's like a scene straight out of an indie film—but you can make it happen with our incredible stock of pillows coming in all different sizes, shapes, features, and colors!
