I am definately learning more than I thought I'd be learning in such short semesters at Furman. At times it may seem a bit overwhelming but professors are always willing to explain and help their students and Furman provides tutoring if needed during the week.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 29 reviews for Furman University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Furman University a question
Furman is a great place to learn and further your academic career. It offers rigorous academics, as well as, good connections to the outside work force. Furman prepares their students to be successful in whatever it is they choose to do professionally.Read More
Furman has a beautiful campus and a very tight knit community. Academics are hard but you know that you will get a good education. Social life is very laid back which means so no crazy parties.Read More
Furman has the most beautiful campus in the country. Furman's food is awful. Furman students keep busy!Read More
Furman promotes a sense of community since all students are required to live on campus all four years. I like being able to visit my friends without getting lost or having to trek across campus. You definitely won't be lost in a crowd and will find a sense of home here.Read More
Furman is the perfect place to get a true liberal education. Furman classes will expand your mind in a way that I believe could not happen at any other university. The dedication of the professors to their students is outstanding.Read More
A great Liberal Arts school with excellent education: one-on-one time with professors, and they work hard to get you internships/jobs after you graduate. Social life is strongly geared towards Greek life or sports, but there are many other clubs to get involved in aside from that. Definitely very small and a lot different than larger schools: mostly everyone knows each other and the school doesn't have that huge state school spirit if that's what you're looking for.Read More
I absolutely adore Furman's campus! If the tuition was financially reachable for me, I would love to attend this university!Read More
Furman is a challenging environment that will keep you up for frequent late nights in the library. Its charming rose garden, tranquil lake, and beautiful grounds create a lovely place to study. Most importantly, Furman's liberal arts curriculum will prepare students to be engaged in all aspects of the fast-changing world.Read More
Furman is the ideal place for transitioning between a dependent life with your parents and an independent life on your own. The academics are challenging, the campus is beautiful and the community is inviting. It truly is a home away from home.Read More
beautiful school in the south. nice atmosphere. great education and study abroad/internship opportunities.Read More

Posted on 12/08/2012 11:13:56 AM PST by MinorityRepublican
The youngest baby boomers will begin turning 50 next year, a noteworthy milestone in the graying of America. But the more important data point may be this: Last year, the birth rate in America fell to the lowest level in recorded history.
These may be separate developments but they are part of the same ominous story. As our largest generation moves toward full-on retirement we are minting what promises to be our smallest generation, a group that from the very beginning of its working years will face the impossible task of supporting millions of entitled old fogeys. Something will have to give.
The U.S. birth rate slid by 8% in recent years, reaching 63.2 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age in 2011, according to a report from the Pew Research Center. That is half the peak birth rate recorded in 1957, which was smack in the middle of the baby boom. This is the lowest rate since at least 1920, the earliest year for which there are reliable numbers.
(Excerpt) Read more at business.time.com ...
Here's an idea - don't retire.
Of course I believe the widespread bias against aged employees will need reforming.
The one possible bright spot among so many dark ones in unloading health insurance from employers would be age discrimination. That's the biggie, the hit to the group plan.
Of course, given the proclivities of the current administration, they'll find some way to muck that up, too. They're destroyers.
If it weren't for illegals and welfare queens, the rate would have been even lower. :(
Working Americans should be proud that they are subsidizing their own demise.
No one in my family ever retires-most of us are self-employed as ranchers or construction subs and can't afford to-hey, it keeps us fit.
That said, the pro-choice bunch are about to get the results of preaching a totally selfish lifestyle that looks down on having kids and funds abortion/infanticide for so long-there is a God, and there are far-reaching consequences to pissing Him off...
How high is the murdered baby count now? Hmmm!
Leftist policies are always a blight to the human race.
"How high is the murdered baby count now? Hmmm!"
Over 50 million. "One nation, under God"
It's ironic that the birthrate is so low, yet the rate of illegitimate births is so high. We have institutionalized the concept of single mother parenting, especially in the baby mama culture of the ghetto and the barrio.
Unfortunately the baby mama culture is spreading to the rest of society. We have lost the will as a society to make any moral judgements about anything.
This even touches on the whole gang culture of the inner city. The vast majority of the guys in gangs were raised without a father in the home, which contributes to their delinquency.

My opinion as well-just desserts for all the years of preaching infanticide-too bad the golf courses and luxury retirement pads in Florida and the cruise ships will be empty because those people have to keep working to make money...
The married, responsible parents are holding off on having more children. The unmarried are on the dole and are incentivized to have more children.
If the incentives were removed and the economy improved, more married parents would have more children.
Since when are we older citizens "geezers" and "old fogies"?
Wait till you become one of them. You won't likee idea of being denied medical care, especially when you have worked hard for 50 years and contributed 15% through you and your employer.
It seems to me that that is the rational response to today's societal conditions. Why would anyone want to bring children into what appears to be a world that will be biased against people who want to be ambitious, hard-working citizens?
The biggest 'proclivity' being their hatred of the white middle class, which is the major demographic of the Boomers.
They'll find some way to kill us off.
I notice that most of these countries with "aging populations" have pretty liberal abortion policies. The same liberals then try to import people from incompatible cultures because we "need" them to support the aging population. These same people then sponge on benefits and our country collapses and is balkanized.
C'mon all consider the source here. Liberal of liberals, Time Mag.
Let's analyze their premise for a moment.
The birth rate, already not high, dropped to its lowest levels ever in 2011.
That means that if the culture roughly remains the same, the best-earning 2011 babies will begin their post-college career say in 2034. In 2034, whatever Baby Boomers are still alive will range in age from the 70s up to age 88.
At that point, if you considered that perhaps 94% of all in the workforce then would range in age from 23 to 65, translated that means that 23 yo in the Year 2034 will be about 2% of the overall workforce.
Obviously, even if they had normal birth #s, they wouldn't be expected to produce 2% of the "contribution" to "social security" or whatever by then has replaced it.
The issue isn't yet significant until you get almost double-digit years or more of such birth decline...when huge drops in laborers in their 30s results in extremely significant issues. And even then most of the Baby Boomers will be in the grave by the 2040s.
The results THEN will be not less laborers...just more Hispanic & Muslim immigrants flooding the U.S. as labor "replacements"...(like what Europe has had to do with their extremely low birth rates...bring in more Muslim immigrants)...
Besides, a country that endorses Planned Parenthood carving away at the birth rates by carving away at pre-born flesh basically deserves whatever it gets.

The Commerce Program is a direct entry four-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) or the degree of Bachelor of Commerce.� The main purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for young people to prepare themselves, not only for positions of leadership in the world of business and government, but also for responsible positions in the wider community. The program is designed to give the student insight into the problems�that a manager faces in directing a business enterprise and in making the decisions which are essential to the successful operation of any undertaking. Moreover, the program is intended to help the student acquire a more general understanding of society through a study of courses in business and in Faculty of Arts and Science.
Most high school students have not developed clearly defined career interests or goals. Career plans take shape during the university years as aptitudes develop, interests sharpen, and experience broadens. The Commerce Program introduces the student to a range of career possibilities and builds a broad background of useful knowledge and skills. Close association with able faculty and lively student groups, as well as seminar discussions with visiting business executives and research and consulting projects, help mould student interest and widen perspectives.�
Graduates in Commerce enjoy a wide variety of employment opportunities. They may become financial analysts, investment bankers, management consultants, labour relations practitioners, human resource managers, account executives in advertising agencies, chartered or management accountants, merchandising managers, market researchers, production managers, or information technology managers. Some continue their education to enter such professions as law, industrial relations, or teaching or to further study in management. �The Commerce Program is appropriate for students with a high standard of academic performance in Mathematics, English, History, or Sciences and a strong interest in application as well as in theory.�� Most candidates for the Bachelor of Commerce degree enter the Program in their first university year. However, it is possible to transfer into the program after one and, in some cases, after two years in another university degree program.

Recent reviews
Exceptional 9.4 From 96 reviews
Staff at the front desk were very personable and happy to be of assistance wherever they could. However, it was not as clean as we would have liked; the small rug in the room had seen better days and could have been replaced as it was dirty and discoloured. A better selection of toiletries like a shower cap would have been appreciated.
Great location and staff. walls are a bit thin but not a big problem in the grand scheme of things.
Very tastefully done boutique hotel. Relaxing and tranquil! Close to restaurants and shopping.
Really impressed with the hotel. Fantastic location, staff was super friendly and really wanted to make sure our trip was perfect. There's a great garden / pool in the back, the rooms are comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Can't wait to return!
Great service and always a great stay. Although the hotel is getting a little tired and needs a little facelift along with new beds.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Connect your users to e-content with a single sign-on.
Connect users to content they want
Authentication is an important issue for libraries and information seekers; certain library resources require authorized access, while remote information seekers want access without obstacles. EZproxy access and authentication software connects to many content providers, including OCLC, EBSCO, Gale and others. It also connects to a wide variety of authentication services, including LDAP, SIP and Shibboleth, which reduces the number of authorizations and passwords users need to remember. Users gain secure remote access to the Web-based, licensed content they discover in libraries.
Provide seamless access
EZproxy works by dynamically altering the URLs within the webpages provided by your database vendor. The URLs of these webpages are changed to reflect your EZproxy server instead, causing your users to return to the EZproxy server as they access links on these webpages. The result is a seamless access environment for your users without the need for proxy configuration on the user's client.
Choose a proven solution
EZproxy is the industry-leading robust middleware solution for remote user authentication.

Press release 175/2017 9 October 2017
"Girls all over the world belong to school," reminds Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Kai Mykkänen on the eve of the International Day of the Girl Child. Improving the position and rights of girls and women is among the key goals of Finland's development policy. This week, the theme shows in Finnish cinemas, too.
"Girls across the world deserve to have the same opportunities to attend school and to embark on a good career as all boys of the world. Girls with education are less likely to marry as a child or get pregnant in their teens, and this also reflects in the productivity of work and economic growth," says Minister Mykkänen.
Improving the position and rights of girls and women is among the key goals of Finland's development policy. Wednesday 11 October marks the International Day of the Girl Child. To honour the day, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Finnkino will provide Finnish cinema-goers with a dose of girl energy. A video produced by the international Global Goals campaign, "What I Really Really Want", will be screened in all Finnkino cinemas of the country prior to films. A new version of Spice Girls' hit video from 1996 features, for example, young Bollywood stars.
"It reflects girls' own courage and active role as defenders of human rights. As Finland's Youth Delegate to the UN I visited for instance Eritrea, where I met local girls and discussed with them the importance of education for young women like us. Finland is known as a reliable defender of gender equality across the world and I'm proud to be able to be involved in this work," says Sonja Huttunen from a network of young people promoting Agenda 2030 in Finland.
Last year, Finland channelled approximately EUR 50 million to projects focusing on gender equality and EUR 250 million to projects which had gender equality among the main objectives. The majority of the support is directed to girls' education and actions strengthening sexual and reproductive health and rights in Finland's partner countries.
Development cooperation projects aiming to improve the position of girls and women have produced good results in Nepal, for instance, where Finland has supported the education sector and girls' schooling on a long-term basis. At the moment, over half of the girls in Nepal enrol in secondary school.
"Girls' education and their capacity to participate in developing their societies play a key role in the attainment of the UN sustainable development goals. It is both right and also economically wise that girls go to school," says Minister Mykkänen.
Nepal's new Constitution, which was adopted recently, has markedly increased women's possibilities of political participation and, for example, 40% of the members of district committees.are now women. Finland has supported UN Women, which has organised training and courses for women to familiarise them with the opportunities provided by the new Constitution. As a result, many of those who have attended the training stood for candidacy and became elected in the local elections of this year.

Ruka is at the ready
After today's last official training in the superpipe of the Ruka & Pyhä Ski Resort, Local Organisers, Officials, riders and team staff are pumped to kick off things in Finland.
Janne Korpi, reigning FIS Snowboard Freestyle World Cup title champion of Finland said: "The half pipe was pretty good as it got faster. If it gets icy tomorrow, it could be a little different. Today we had no problems with the glide so it was nice to ride since it still was soft. My riding wasn't that great yet, but I'm getting there."
Tomorrow will bring the qualifying heats in the ladies' and men's competition of this season's second Halfpipe World Cup event with the girls to drop in first.
Emma Bernard of France who finished in the runner-up position at the Ruka Halfpipe World Cup two years ago will be the first rider to showcase her tricks at 11:40 AM (CET +1).
After the 26 ladies have done their job, the first heat men will follow around 1:30 PM (CET +1) with the second heat to start at 3:30 PM (CET +1).
Check the start list for the ladies and men top right of this page.
Best four riders of each heat will directly advance to semi finals. Those women ranked 5 - 12 will go to the semi finals from where the best two will make it to the finals tomorrow too.
On the men's side, 5 - 10 ranked riders of each heat will form a semi final of twelve with the top four filling up the finals on Friday.
Friday's finals will consist of six ladies and twelve men.

Blackcaps Corner
Blackcaps are getting ready to face Scaly Piscine CC in just about 8 hrs time. Interestingly this match will be the inaugural match for the CW FTP Championship II. The players from both the camps are looking confident to start of winning note. Blackcaps, who are out of form at the moment are working hard in the nets to face the tight encounter against Scaly Piscine CC.
Blackcaps coach "Raghav" feels the team are doing well in the nets. He adds "Well, we played well last season. If you want me to repeat I would say, We played well beyond our potential . It would be a difficult season for us as most of the players are out of touch at the moment. We enter this competition again as a Dark Horse as was like in the 1st Championship. We need to heavily rely on players like Nye, Brown & Walkey. They need to lead the side with their experience. We expect this season to go well and wish we protect our Div 1 position."
Player to Watch for Blackcaps: Christopher Walkey

W-G approves teachers' contract
The Waynesfield-Goshen Board of Education and the Waynesfield-Goshen Education Association (WGEA) have reached a contract agreement after four months of negotiating.
The Waynesfield-Goshen Board of Education approved the new one-year agreement to extend through June 30, 2013, with the WGEA during a regular monthly meeting this week.
Terms of the agreement, which had been under negotiation since April, included no salary increase or experience steps for teachers, however, those teachers who would have been eligible to move a step based on experience are to receive a one-time stipend between $250 and $500 for the year. Terms of the approved contract also include a decrease in the majority of supplemental contract salaries and increases to teachers' share of health insurance premiums from 10 to 15 percent. The teacher share of premium per family plan is to increase $750 a year.
"The board values the teaching staff and appreciates the gains made in student performance this year (high school students scored four points above an excellent rating on state tests)," said Waynesfield-Goshen Board of Education President David Pepple. "However, it is simply a factor of the current economic times, in combination with state funding, that the district simply could not give raises and needed to have all staff make a larger contribution for health insurance premiums."
Pepple said with continuing deficit spending, it is very important that the state develop an equitable funding system in the next biennium, which begins July 1, 2013.
The WGEA declined to comment on the new contract.
A number of non-financial elements of the agreement also were modified, including bringing the teacher Reduction-In-Force article and the teacher evaluation system article into compliance with new law.
The parties agreed to establish several new operational guidelines that should help focus effort on increased student achievement.
The agreement affects 40 teachers in the district.
"We need to know what the state is going to do with funds," Waynesfield-Goshen Superintendent Chris Pfister said of the decision to go with a one-year contract at this point.
"It could go either way," he said.
District administrators expect to know more about what the state may do with funding in a year. Pfister said contracts usually are negotiated every two years, but this year they are waiting to see what the state may provide to the district.
"It's hard to do anything long term," Pfister said. "There are too many unknowns."
Classified staff are currently in their second year of a two-year contract, so the district will be negotiating two contracts next year.
"We have a lot of dedicated people, just no money," Pfister said. "It is what it is. We just have to wait to see if the state is willing to come and help."
Classes for Waynesfield-Goshen students resume on Thursday for the 2012-13 school year, with a teacher's day today.

2010 Straight Line Wine Pinot Noir
1 In Stock
With its complex aromas of dark artisan chocolate, ripe black cherry, spicy black pepper and a hint of oak, this Pinot Noir sings of the Anderson Valley. The palate is deeply textured with a weaving of fine tannins and bright acid. Lush and refined, the red cherry, blackberry and strawberry jam notes are offset by pepper, warm earth, wet granite and spice. The lengthy finish is well defined, with hints of dark plum and black spice.
This Pinot noir is comprised of fruit sourced for Couloir Wines single-vineyard designated Pinot Noirs. Each vineyard contributes distinctive characteristics, uniting into a cohesive and unique cuvee. Fruit from the Anderson Valley vineyards, Monument Tree, Londer and Roma's make up the majority of the final wine, providing bright fresh fruit flavors, palate depth and structure. From just north of the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, Oppenlander Vineyard provides exotic red fruit aromatics, a hint of citrus peel zest, mouthwatering acidity and the resulting backbone for the wine. The earthy, spicy and sour cherry notes come from the Chileno Valley Vineyard in Marin County and are the perfect complement to the red-fruited nature of Mendocino County – and specifically, Anderson Valley – Pinot Noirs.
The fruit from each of the five vineyards was hand harvested separately into half-ton picking bins and brought directly to Turley Wine Cellars. The bins were placed in cold storage for a 24-hour resting period. All of the fruit was then hand-sorted. Part of the fruit was de-stemmed, adding a layer of complexity to the final wine. Importantly to the bright flavor and taste profile of this Pinot noir, approximately 40% of the fruit was fermented whole cluster. The grapes then received a cold soak for seven days to extract maximum color from the Pinot Noir skins, while the chill prohibited the start of fermentation. The fruit was then removed from refrigeration, warming and activating the native yeasts. One gentle punch down per day ensured minimal tannin extraction from the skins, allowing the stem tannins to provide the wine's structure. The grapes were pressed and the wine was gravity fed into French oak barrels, of which 40% were new. The wine received no racking, nor fining, nor filtering.
Variety 100% Pinot Noir
Vineyards Monument Tree, Londer, Roma's, Oppenlander & Chileno Valley Vineyards
Production 550 cases
Optimal Maturity 2012-2024

Editor's note: Julian E. Zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. He is the author of "Jimmy Carter," published by Times Books, and editor of a book assessing former President George W. Bush's administration, published by Princeton University Press.
(CNN) -- Republicans are divided over what to do about the defense budget. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wants to reduce it by $78 billion over the next five years.
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama reminded Congress that Gates had agreed to cut out billions that "he and his generals believe our military can do without."
Some Republicans have acted reflexively, insisting on no cuts to the military budget. Howard McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and an establishment Republican, said: "I cannot say it strongly enough: I will not support any measures that stress our forces and jeopardize the lives of our men and women in uniform."
Other Republicans have joined him. Sarah Palin has repeatedly stated that military spending should be off the table when it comes to deficit reduction. "The administration," Palin proclaimed last June, "may be willing to cut defense spending, but it's increasing it everywhere else. I think we should do it the other way round: Cut spending in other departments, apart from defense. We should not be cutting corners on our national security."
But some Republicans, primarily those associated with the Tea Party, have started to push back against their colleagues. Former House Majority Leader Richard Armey, who has worked closely with the leadership of the Tea Party Movement, told The New York Times, "A lot of people say if you cut defense, you're demonstrating less than a full commitment to our nation's security -- and that's baloney." House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor have signaled they are willing to consider the Pentagon's budget in discussions.
For many Republicans, the sound of conservatives calling for a smaller national security establishment seems to be sacrilege. After all, this is the party of Ronald Reagan, and it has insisted since the 1980s that more defense spending is essential to protect the nation. Whenever he was asked what he would do if it came down to a choice between defense and deficits, Reagan said: "I always said national security would come first, and the people applauded every time."
When a small group of House Republicans, led by former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr, opposed President Bill Clinton's push in 1995 and 1996 to strengthen the government in its capacity to pursue domestic terrorists following the Oklahoma City bombing, many members of the Republican establishment distanced themselves from Barr and his colleagues.
Yet another conservative tradition has supported restraint in military spending. Before the Cold War, some of the most prominent Republicans believed that too much spending on national security endangered civil liberties and produced excessive deficits.
Ohio Sen. Robert Taft, "Mr. Republican," spoke about the dangers of creating a leviathan state that quashed America's best democratic traditions. Even as Republicans like Taft abandoned their isolationism following World War II, they remained skeptical and critical of unlimited defense spending.
Dwight Eisenhower, one of the nation's greatest military heroes, was also a critic of excessive defense spending when he served as president from 1953 to 1961.
Americans often remember his famous farewell address, in which he warned of the creation of a "military-industrial complex" 50 years ago, as a warning about the potential for military leaders to make decisions without being accountable to civilians. But the speech was in large part about the dangers of an uncontrolled defense budget.
Eisenhower spent much of his presidency battling against hawkish Democrats who were pushing for higher spending on intercontinental ballistic missiles and other weaponry. Eisenhower, a fiscal conservative, believed that Democrats were being reckless in calling for these expenditures when the United States was well positioned against the Soviet Union.
In April 1953, his granddaughter Susan recently recalled in The Washington Post, Eisenhower told the American Society of Newspaper Editors: "This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population."
Indeed, when the Soviets sent the Sputnik satellite into space in October 1957, shocking many Americans, Eisenhower was furious that Democrats pounced on this moment as evidence he was not spending enough on defense. Eisenhower, who had secret U-2 satellites providing information that Democratic warnings about insufficient weaponry were false, couldn't believe what his opponents in Congress were doing.
While Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson called Sputnik a disaster "comparable to Pearl Harbor," Eisenhower insisted limits must be put on how much the country spent on weapons. A frustrated Eisenhower privately said to legislators that the nation could "choke itself to death with military force as well as protect itself." He warned, "There is no defense of any country that busts its own economy." The president feared that the United States faced the risk of "destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without."
Those kinds of arguments quickly faded from the conservative lexicon. Most Republicans have embraced a firm and unequivocal stand in favor of higher defense spending. When Democrats have proposed reducing the defense budget since the 1960s, the GOP usually jumped and accused their opponents of being weak on national security.
But given the fiscal realities that the nation confronts, all forms of spending probably will be coming under budgetary scrutiny over the next few years. Republicans who are serious about deficit reduction must reconsider this lost conservative tradition and be willing to take a serious look at how much we spend on defense. Clearly, ample evidence shows it would be possible to make the budget more efficient and reduce many costs without posing risks to the nation.
Defense spending has not been a process in rational decision-making; it has been a political process often driven by partisan competition and interest group lobbying. If enough Republicans break with their party's conventional response, Congress could finally make significant process in developing a leaner and more effective budget for the Pentagon, one that revolves around national security needs rather than politics.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Julian E. Zelizer.

Sweetwater police officer in satisfactory condition after motorcycle wreck
Sweetwater Police Chief Brian Frieda has confirmed that one of their officers was injured last week in an accident.Officer Kurt Huckabee was injured last Friday evening when he lost control of his motorcycle while returning from the White Buffalo Bikefest in Snyder.

Some toddlers and young children put small foreign objects into their ears or noses, or swallow things that aren't food, out of curiosity. They're experimenting with the world around them and learning what happens when they try different things.
Children under four years are most at risk of inserting or swallowing small foreign objects, so keep the following out of reach of your child:
It's best to use pins with a safety catch, and keep them closed when you're not using them. Also avoid putting safety pins in your mouth, because your child might copy you.
It's important to try to identify potentially risky situations ahead of time. These tips can help:

Although children rarely stick things in their eyes on purpose, they can unintentionally poke themselves or rub foreign substances into their eyes. Items that get trapped are most commonly found in the conjuctiva, between the eyeball and the eyelid.

...and, Jay, is it the correct hilt?
Quote from: Darth Vlad on October 12, 2009, 05:34 PM...and, Jay, is it the correct hilt?No. The one that has been pictured is the Anakin EII lightsaber sculpt.
So I sat down last night and watched a re-run of "Empire" on Spike TV, partly to relax, but also to catch the 2-3 seconds you see Willrow Hood running by with his ice cream maker That has to be one of the most obscure movie characters ever made into an action figure
Quote from: EpicGon on October 12, 2009, 01:25 PMDoes Snowspeeder Luke come with a complete lightsaber or only the hilt?We saw in the adds only the hilt without the blade.My guess is that the final figure will, but if not, you could always give him the one from the Medical Frigate Luke as he "technically" doesn't need it.
Does Snowspeeder Luke come with a complete lightsaber or only the hilt?We saw in the adds only the hilt without the blade.
Eh, not the end of the world. Like others have joked, it probably would have just been the wrong saber anyway. If he needs one, I'll just take one from any of the other Lukes that came with one and didn't need it - X-Wing Luke, Medical Frigate Luke, etc etc.
Hey guys let´s talk about TLC Zuckuss, looks very nice and decent sculpt, but Do you mind he´s a head smaller than the potf2 version?
I don't mind his height. I'm more interested in how he compares to the other bounty hunters since that's who he's stacked against in the movies. I think he may be a hair tall now, but I'm ok with it. I like the figure.

It is now going to be the box upon which I plan to get TiVo server software running. I was not successful with the Kurobox, but I think that was due to not having enough RAM (only 64MB) to get pyTivo or Galleon working well enough to considered a success. The Live has 128M and I think it will do much better. First I need to explore and see whether to openlink or freelink it. I am thinking since it has some pretty good software on it already, openlink will be the way to go. For starters, I need to figure out what firmware version it has... Installing Buffalo's NAS Navigator on my PC answered that. It is Firmware version 2.10, and is as current as it gets.

ParkLink - City of Raleigh Parking Program
Information to Assist with Parking in Raleigh
Outsourced since 2000, Raleigh's on-street parking program was returned under City management and staff on June 1, 2010 with the goal of providing greater professionalism and improved customer service.
"ParkLink" is the branded program name which is seen on all City-owned parking facilities as well as on the uniforms and vehicles of our City employees. ParkLink is responsible for parking enforcement, collections, parking meters, permits and maintenance/improvements of all City-owned parking decks and lots.
Passport App: New Parking App Can be Used at On-Street Meters Along Hillsborough Street
The City of Raleigh announced the debut of a pilot program that will allow drivers to purchase metered parking from their phones.
Drivers can download the PassportParking app and securely pay for metered parking using a debit/credit card. The app, which has also been available at the North Carolina State University campus since 2015, allows users to monitor their session, extend parking remotely (up to the maximum allotted time), and view all parking history.
The new parking app is being introduced as an easier, more convenient option for drivers to pay for and keep track of their parking. Users can manage everything from their phones while also helping avoid parking citations.
As a part of the city's four-month pilot program that begins late October, the app will be available at on-street parking locations in the Hillsborough Street area where signage is displayed. The area includes Hillsborough and Oberlin Streets to Hillsborough and Concord Streets and some adjacent side streets. Passport signage will indicate how users can download and get started with the app.
The PassportParking app is free to download from the iPhone App Store and Android Google Play. Users can also manage their parking online on the PassportParking website.

Parking Enforcement
Field Agents endeavor to conduct enforcement with fairness and impartiality. Agents do not have the power or the ability to cancel a citation/ticket once it has been issued. The only way it can be dealt with is by paying the fine or by appealing the citation/ticket.
Paying a Citation
There are three ways to pay a parking fine: by mail, online payment or in person at the City's Revenue Services Lobby located on the first floor of the Avery C Upchurch Municipal Complex, 222 West Hargett Street.Learn more about Paying a Citation
Appealing a Parking Citation
The ParkLink program provides an appeal process for individuals who feel unjustly cited for a parking violation. Appeals must be received not later than twenty-one (21) days from the date of issuance of the ticket.Learn more about Appealing a Parking Citation
Residential Permit Program
The Residential Permit Parking program was adopted by City Council many years ago to free up on-street parking for neighborhood residents by restricting non-residents from parking all day.

Q. What changes should I be prepared for when I enter
one of the decks with the $5 night fee after 5 PM on Friday or Saturday?
A. Additional parking attendants will be on duty at the entrance lanes to receive your payment of $5 (cash or credit card). You will be issued a pre-pay ticket which you must retain to give to the cashier on exit to avoid having to pay any additional parking fees. If you do not have your ticket when you exit, you can expect to pay the lost ticket fee of $12 which rule already applies for daytime customers.
Q. If I enter one of the decks with the $5 night fee
sometime before 5 PM on Friday, how much would I have to pay?
A. The daily rate would apply up until 5 PM. From 5 p.m. onward, the $5 flat fee is charged. For example, if a vehicle enters at 3 p.m. and exits at 10 p.m., the cost would be $4 up to 5 p.m. plus $5 for the time thereafter. The total due in this scenario would be $9, payable on exit. On Saturday, if a vehicle enters before 5 p.m. when parking attendants are not on duty, there is no charge when exiting.
Off-Street Parking
All City-owned parking facilities are operated under contract by McLaurin Parking. For concerns with a parking facility or more information, contact McLaurin Parking at 919-833-7522.
*Why Motorcycles Are Not Allowed to Use Parking Decks:
Parking decks are controlled by a sophisticated vehicle access and revenue control system to manage the inventory of available parking spaces and to ensure the deck does not reach an over-capacity limit which would create liability and personal safety concerns. The system is designed only for standard cars and pickups and the "vehicle mass" sensors in the floor allow only one vehicle to pass between the time the gate automatically raises and lowers in order to maintain counts of the number of vehicles entering and exiting. Because motorcycles do not have sufficient "mass" to keep the gate arm up after driving over a sensor, they are in danger of the gate coming down too soon which could cause injury to the rider and/or damage to the motorcycle. Gate arms in City of Raleigh decks display a warning that motorcycles are not allowed to park in the facilities. Most public decks throughout the country do not permit motorcycles. The City of Raleigh apologizes for any inconvenience but we must ensure the safety of all parking deck customers.
Motorcyclists are encouraged to use the city's ParkLink public parking lots where payment is made at the pay station. Only one motorcycle per parking space is permitted. To locate the nearest parking lot to your final destination, view the Downtown Parking Facility Map.
Field Agents enforce all City of Raleigh parking ordinances to maintain order and convenience for the benefit of all users. Agents strive to provide a high level of customer service by assisting customers in operating the pay stations and answering questions about parking or way finding.
Customer Service staff is also available to answer any parking-related questions or concerns, assist citizens with parking problems, issue permits, process payments, review account histories and provide information about appealing a ticket.
View our Common Questions for answers to other questions about parking issues or ordinances.
If you can not find what you are looking for in the FAQ's please contact a Customer Service Representative at 919-996-3996 for further assistance.

Last year I declared June 22nd, Mayonnaise Day for a very good reason. Oh, it isn't an "official" declaration such as you would find in Chase's Calendar of Events but that's okay, many of the food days we celebrate here and else where on the internet, have been passed down through the years without so much as a Presidential Proclamation. I therefore proclaim June 22nd as Mayonnaise Day. Why? I have my reasons:
1. Today is the day Richard Hellman, the namesake of Hellman's Mayonnaise, was born.
2. I LOVE Hellman's Mayonnaise! (no lectures please:)
Picnic NewsJust in case you missed it, the annual Months of Edible Celebrations Picnic Game is now in session. Oh Goodie!!! It isn't to late to join in on the fun. All you need to do is choose a letter beginning with the dish you would like to bring to the virtual picnic, post about it on your blog, send me the link and you're invited!!! Pretty simple, right? Well, okay it is a tiny bit more involved than that but not much. And believe me, you will be glad you did. We've got some mighty tasty dishes filling up our picnic basket this year and a few surprises too!!! So, if you need further directions, head on over to here for the rules. If you're a returning guest or simply want to fly by the seat of your pants, pick one of these letters that are left and let's get a picnicking...
I know it gets a bit difficult to imagine a dish you can bring when the letters start running out. You're saying to yourself, what the heck am I going to bring to the picnic that begins with the letter X? (quite frankly, with the exception of the letter X, I don't think the remaining letters are all that difficult to "jazz" up a bit) As for X, let's see, in 2009, we had XXX-Pizza tucked in our basket by TavoLini.
And last year, we had this X-quisite Layered Fruit Salad a tisketing and a tasketing in our picnic basket. Thanks again, Stephanie!!!
The only other suggestion I can make for the remaining letters is to think of an adjective that matches the letter and add it to your dish. Whah La! Jumpin' Jack Flash Fried Fish! (looks like verbs and nouns might work too:)
In other news, the dishes are beginning to arrive. So far I have three. If yours is ready, send it on in! I'm waiting just a bit longer to start sending the letters I already have out. If you want them now, just send me an email and I'll be happy to send them to you. I have, the letters, A, F and K waiting to be delivered. Should you decide to do bring an additional dish, you can either do one post with both dishes or two separate posts. Whatever you like. I'll be doing a round-up post of all the dishes with pictures on July the first!!!
Now, I've gotta run, I have blogs to catch up with!!!
1. Hellman's History (last year's post)


text:
Student Caitlyn Connerty believes in the importance of seeing the world from others' perspectives, which is why she has embarked on her third Alternative Spring Break service-learning trip, returning this year to a home-building project in Athens, Georgia, as a group leader.
"I think that it's important to experience something that is out of your element and realize how lucky you are to have what you have in life," said Connerty. "We are very fortunate to live where we live and have access to the resources that we have, but others are not so fortunate."
'Perfect' blend of travel and service
Brad Migliacci, who loves travel and enjoys helping people, is committed to Alternative Spring Break because it offers a "perfect combination" of the two.
In his three years at the University, Migliacci has built homes for the needy in Denver and Mississippi and this year is working with a Penobscot Nation youth program in Maine.
Learning about culture, rights, history, environment
Migliacci and Connerty are among 130 Suffolk University Students relax on stone bridge they built on a creek in Prince William Forest Park, Virginia.students passing up the traditional spring break vacation to serve in communities across the country. The S.O.U.L.S. Community Service and Service Learning Center has organized environmental, LGBTQ, Habitat for Humanity, and youth service programs.
"It's not so much that I'm giving up my time, but I'm using it for someone else," said Migliacci, who is co-leader of the service trip to Passadumkeag, Maine, where students will live in Suffolk University's riverfront research and academic facility. They will learn about the Penobscot culture from members of the tribe and work with children at the local Boys and Girls Club.
Motivated to work for LGBTQ equality
Meanwhile, student Lauren Vachon will help lead a LGBTQ service trip to Philadelphia, where student volunteers will work to build membership and awareness for the Equality Pennsylvania organization and its cause.
Vachon said that Pennsylvania politics make it very difficult to pass legislation regarding LGBTQ rights. Equality Pennsylvania is dedicated to the support and education of Pennsylvanians and to promoting legislation concerning issues such as discrimination, marriage rights, and hate crime.
"Knowing that one week of service building awareness for the cause could potentially have a great impact on the community of Philadelphia is a great source of motivation," said Vachon.
A sense of 'duty'
Ruthly Francois works with Habitat for Humanity project leader Beau Harvey during the 2011 Alternative Spring Break in Athens, Georgia.Ruthly Francois, who will be planting seedlings in a Virginia state park, said that, while academics are essential to the college experience, "you also have a duty to take care of the community."
"It's awesome that Suffolk University offers opportunities to reach out and do altruistic activities," said Francois, who gained the confidence to become a trip leader after her first Alternative Spring Break trip last year.
Two student leaders have planned and serve as guides at each of the 10 service sites, assisted by staff facilitators. The sites include:
- Delaplane, Va. – Environmental
- Triangle, Va. – Environmental
- Philadelphia – LGBTQ
- Passadumkeag, Maine – Youth service and cultural awareness
- Statesville, N.C. – Habitat for Humanity
- Newland, N.C. – Habitat for Humanity
- Denver – Habitat for Humanity
- Gulfport, Miss. – Habitat for Humanity
- Athens, Ga. – Habitat for Humanity
- Georgetown, Del. – Habitat for Humanity
Students enrolled in the course "The Civilian Conservation Corps and the American Landscape" will be able to perform similar work to that completed by CCC members as they travel to Prince William Forest Park in Virginia.
Leadership and teamwork
In addition to performing service, students hone teamwork and leadership skills through the Alternative Spring Break programs.
"As student leaders, we're taught to embrace diversity and different types of people and environments, but until you actually are thrust into an experience like that, it's hard for you to truly understand it," said Connerty, whose Habitat for Humanity work returns her this year to a Georgia county that is the poorest in America.
Connerty's experiences have helped her carve out a career goal: She is applying to graduate school for higher education administration/student affairs with a focus in involvement and service learning.
"Having all of these experiences under my belt has only helped me to grow as a student," she said.

Jenny November 11, 2007. I just wanted to thank you for looking over the Oklahoma Godort pages and looking at our class's essays. It was an interesting and educational assignment. I'm glad that Adri got us involved.
Daniel 10:46, 11 October 2007 (CDT) I knew about protecting pages to registered users. I did that to the Clearinghouse of Digital Project pages about a month back. I just haven't had time to visit the Registry pages lately. Hope to fix that this week. And send a message to my volunteer list letting them know what's going on.
Daniel 10:46, 11 October 2007 (CDT) James - Thanks very much for protecting pages in the databases registry! I'll try to get back to watching them more regularly. My loose-knit team and I owe you.
Daniel 16:28, 26 September 2007 (CDT) September 26, 2007 - Thanks for cleaning up my entry. I've been noticing some recent spam words on some of the state database pages. Plus, the . Clearinghouse of Government Documents Digital Projects has been taking huge hits lately. Wasn't sure who to report them to. - Daniel
July 9, 2007 - Thanks for your Independence Day encouragement! Daniel

I've spent the last several day packing up all my things into boxes and moving across town into a new house with new roommates. It's sort of exciting rearranging your furniture in a new room and calling a new house "home."
So what is the difference between a new house and a new home? Well, as my favorite writer Lemony Snicket puts it: "The difference between a house and a home is like the difference between a man and a woman—it might be embarrassing to explain, but it would be very unusual to get them confused."
Our homes are our spaces to relax, to spend time with our families and friends, to do our hobbies (how many of you have a puzzle spread out on your coffee table right now?) Snicket has another great thing to say about homes, which rings true for many of us: "There is something marvelous about returning home at the end of a long day, even if there is tuna fish for dinner."
Coziness and comfort are what makes a house a home for me, but then there are some homes that are so beautiful and elegant, prim and proper—but these are no less homes to the people inside them. Here's some of our best houses and homes in puzzle form, some that emanate warmth and tranquility, some that are modern and sleek.
