Icy, Winter Storm Headed to Eastern Sierra
A moderate "atmospheric river" is headed to the Eastern Sierra beginning Wednesday night and could leave behind an icy mess of roads and parking lots, along with a welcome dose of high country snow, according to the National Weather Service. The storm will arrive in Mammoth on Wednesday night behind cold temperatures and wind, especially on the high Sierra crest ridges. The storm will hit in earnest over night, making Thursday's commute potentially dangerous, especially since the NWS is calling for hard-to-see "black ice" conditions.
Here's the details: http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=REV&issuedby=REV&product=AF...
Several more storms are in the forecast, with potential for significant rain and/or snow, before the storm doors close again later this month, according to the NWS.

'Shoot-to-kill' cases: NI coroner warns government over inquest delays
Northern Ireland's most senior coroner has warned the government over what he called "intolerable" delays to inquests into Troubles-related killings.
John Leckey said the government could be in breach of international law if it does not provide adequate resources to allow cases to proceed in a timely way.
The cases include a number of alleged "shoot-to-kill" police killings in NI.
Mr Leckey told a Belfast court the NI secretary of state has not replied to a letter he sent over three weeks ago.
The coroner said he instructed his solicitor to write on his behalf to Theresa Villiers on 4 June, outlining his concerns about delays to inquests into nine controversial deaths.
The cases included the deaths of six people who were shot by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in 1982 and the killings of three RUC officers who died in an IRA land mine attack in the same year.
The fatal shootings were previously investigated during the Stalker-Sampson Inquiry, which sought to determine whether the security forces had operated a shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland.
The Stalker-Sampson reports have never been made public.
The inquests, which have yet to formally begin, have been held up by repeated delays in the disclosure of state files, including security forces' records.
'Plagued by delay'
Mr Leckey told Belfast Coroner's Court that despite requesting an urgent response from Ms Villiers, he has heard nothing from her.
The coroner read the contents of the 4 June letter to the court.
One section of the correspondence said: "These cases have been plagued by delay and slow progress, caused principally (but not exclusively) in the senior coroner's view by a lack of provision of appropriate resources to allow the PSNI to provide proper disclosure and the coroner to pursue other lines of inquiry in an effective and timely fashion."
The letter added that despite Mr Leckey's "best efforts to prompt, cajole and order progress, the commencement of the hearings of these Inquests remains at an uncertain point in the future".
"In the meantime, family members and witnesses are getting older and memories are fading with the passage of time. Some witnesses have already passed away. Undoubtedly more will have died by the time the inquests are held," the letter said.
It warned Ms Villiers that "sufficient resources" were required to allow the police, the Ministry of Defence, MI5 and other state bodies prepare for the inquests.
"A failure to address this issue in a timely and proportionate manner undoubtedly would result in deep dissatisfaction, the UK government being potentially in breach of its own international obligations," the letter added.
Northern Ireland's Attorney General John Larkin and Advocate General for Northern Ireland Dominic Grieve were also copied into the letter.

Instructor on a power trip
Okay all,
I have an issue with an instructor and I need an outside perspective. It's a long one and I'll probably give to many details, so if you can bear with me, I appreciate it.
Backstory: I am in my second semester of the RN year at a community college program (so I will have one semester to go after this, graduate in May). The program has had a lot of change and upheaval during my time there, including a new dean and a complete curriculum redesign that we got mixed into halfway through the program. It's been really frustrating for much of the time, but I've done what I can to be patient because I know change is difficult and that there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that students don't see. There have been a few instructors that I didn't care for much, either because they didn't have the knowledge/experience to back up their position, or simply because they didn't respect us at all, but I've just kept my head down, worked hard, and gotten through. I'm a good student, and have not (including now) been at risk of failing out at any time.
This semester, the lecture portion of my class was supposed to be co-taught by two instructors. One of them left shortly before classes began for another job, so the school hired another instructor, "Ann," whose entire teaching career included a short stint at another community college in another state (she was apparently an old college friend of our new dean). From the start, it went badly: the first class the she taught solo, she was rude and accusatory. She yelled at us like second graders over perceived slights to her authority (e.g. someone rolling their eyes), and threatened to ruin anyone who even thought about trying to cheat on a quiz (something that has never been a problem).
Good example: even though the syllabus outlines that we should "skim" the reading before lecture and then actually do the reading after, she spent ten minutes one day yelling at us for being "unprepared" for not having done the reading before class and telling us that she has "no sympathy" for us because when she was a student she knew about "proper time management." Oh yeah, by the way, this was a lecture taking place immediately after a big exam.
Several times, she would use a high-school level vocabulary word and then stop herself and say, "Oh, you probably don't even know what that means, do you?" (Though at the same time she wouldn't concede that she was wrong about "dysphasia" not being a real word.) The classroom was always terribly tense, and several of my classmates, and even a few of our clinical instructors complained to the dean and the other instructor and the dean about how things were going.
My own personal beef with her was that she didn't really understand the material. Her first degree was not in nursing, and she went back to school, got licensed, and worked for just a short time before going into teaching. The only preparation she would do before class was to read our textbook, but instead of admitting when she didn't know the answer to a question, she would make one up (and was usually wrong). I didn't like driving an hour each way to listen to her essentially read from the book and then let class out early because she had so little to teach. However, I just kept quiet, sat in the back of the room, and rode it out.
After a few weeks, the other instructor "Laura" told us that they had decided to have only one instructor for each section, and so Ann would no longer be teaching our class (she's only doing the smallest of the three now...hmm). However, a week or so later, Laura became very ill and missed about two and a half weeks' worth of lectures, though she did come back for a day in the middle. Ann filled in for a few of those days, and then we were back to having only Laura.
Five points of our grade are designated as "professionalism" points, a new fad in the new curriculum. Basically, they are taken away when someone is constantly walking in late, being disruptive in class, leaves their cell phone on, that kind of thing. It's a little insulting, but whatever...if you behave yourself it's 5 easy points. However, near the end of the time Laura was at home, there appeared on my grade report a deduction for a day that I was supposed to have been late for class a few weeks prior.
I emailed Laura to ask about it, and she said Ann had put in that deduction and she'd check into it when she got back. I KNEW I hadn't been late that day for multiple reasons. First, we took a quiz that day, and the policy throughout the program is quizzes are given as soon as class starts, and you don't get to take it if you're late for class. I was there, I took the quiz, and the gradebook proves that. On top of that, I knew I'd arrived WITH another student that day, and I checked with her, and she was not deducted a point.
On the last day the Laura ended up being (a Thursday), I began to get very ill. I emailed Ann (knowing she would be teaching that day) to let her know that I would be absent. I ultimately ended up hospitalized for the next three days (Fri, Sat, and Sun) with viral meningitis and then was away from school for several more recovering. Laura was very supportive and helpful during that time. However, a few days later, another deduction appeared for my absence on that Thursday that I became ill, which noted that it was "unexcused."
The class syllabus SPECIFICALLY notes that attendance is not mandatory and this policy has been reinforced in class many times over. Laura has stated multiple times that she understands that life happens, kids get sick, work obligations can come up, that kind of thing, and so she just appreciates it if we let her know. I sent a message asking Ann about both that deduction and the one for the day I was supposed to have been late. She said that she had recorded I was late and basically that her attendance record is law no matter what, and ignored all of the issues I had with that deduction.
She also said that "a simple email" would not be enough to excuse an absence in the workplace and so it would not be accepted for class. Not only is that NOT universally true (because that's EXACTLY what I did when I missed a work shift that Saturday and my nurse manager was fine with it), but there is NO POLICY about unexcused absences in the class (or program, for that matter)! I know MANY people who have missed class without losing points even if they didn't notify the instructor before or give a reason after AT ALL. What's more, I had missed a class early in the semester because of a sick child who couldn't go to daycare, and was not deducted for that.
I pointed all of this out to Ann, as well as reminding her that she hadn't addressed any of problems with the "late" point. She totally ignored the second part, and said that if I had a doctor's note for the absence, I should send it to her. Luckily, my primary physician had given me one at a follow-up because he knew I was a student, even though I hadn't asked for one because I had no reason to think I'd need it. In the meantime, I met with Laura and found out that the attendance sheet DOESN'T EVEN SAY I WAS LATE the day Ann said I was.
I sent Ann the medical excuse and AGAIN reminded her of the problems with the "late" day, plus the problem with the attendance sheet. She AGAIN ignored the part about the late day, and told me that the note would not be acceptable because it does not SPECIFICALLY list the day I was absent on it. It DOES mention that I was hospitalized the NEXT day...so she wants me to get ANOTHER note because she, as a nurse, can't ascertain that I was probably sick the day before I was hospitalized with meningitis?! Really? (I may do so just to make a point, but I'm not going to make a special trip for it, so it won't be until my next follow-up in a few days.)
So, here I am.
On one hand, I know it's only two points. Like I said, it's not like I'm in danger of failing the class, and so part of me thinks I should just let it go. I won't have Ann for an instructor again. And honestly, I'm just tired of wasting time dealing with this.
On the other hand...in my first semester, if I had gotten two more points, I would have been up a whole letter grade, and I've never forgotten that.
But furthermore, I feel like this woman is a BULLY and she needs to have someone stand up to her. (I'm not the only one who has had problems, it's just that my situation is unique so I don't have anyone else to back me up.) I'm not sure why she's teaching if she has so much contempt and so little patience for us, but something needs to change. There is a huge difference between what Ann is doing and some instructors I've had who are no-nonsense and have high expectations of us, and she needs to learn that. I have so much to back me up, so I'm reluctant to just quit.
As for Laura, while I believe she is rooting for me silently, she does not want to "get in the middle" or try to override Ann. I can understand that because they will be colleagues on an ongoing basis, so my only recourse from here is to go to the dean of the program. (Though I do find myself wishing she would just change the grade, since this is supposed to be 'her' class now, anyway.)
The dean has a very welcoming attitude toward students, so I'm sure he'd have no problem meeting with me. However, a few of my classmates have a bad habit of running to him and complaining about every little thing, and so I'm really reluctant to be associated with that group. My only one-on-one interaction with him was when I was working on an honors project, which he was really excited about. I hate to ruin the goodwill I've earned with him by wasting his time with something like this. On top of that, there's the issue that he and Ann are old friends, and so I'm concerned that he won't be willing to step in and force her to make it right.
I need input - what do you all think? Should I talk to him, or should I not? Any other ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Student, army wife, mother of 2; from USNov 16, '12Wow, this must be a coincidence, but I just created a thread loosely similar to this one. Honestly I don't know what is up with community college nursing programs recently. If you would read my thread you will hear my story, but I have heard and experienced nothing but negativity towards CC nursing programs. I am actually in the 2nd semester of my CC and the group in 3rd semester has stated that there med/surg II teacher is also "brand new" and is a terrible teacher. The majority of the class is failing, some have only the final to rely on to boost there grade to passing.Nov 16, '12I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this. I can feel your frustration in the words you've chosen. I do know, as a RN, I deal with difficult patients, families, and colleagues on a daily basis. So you're getting great experience for your future nursing career. When I was in nursing school, there were things that came up with other students and I just tried to stay out of it. I know it's easier said than done, but try really hard to just take a deep breath. You are almost done, honey. it's important to pick your battles carefully. Ultimately, you have to seek within yourself if this is worth fighting for. Only you can answer that question. It seems to me that the Dean is receptive and could potentially make things right for you. You can't help what happened. If those 2 points could be the difference between a letter grade, hmmmm.... might be important to talk to the Dean. Just know that you're nearing the end!!!!! Hang in there!! Sending you big hugs!Nov 16, '12I definitely agree with you that this sounds like unfair treatment by "Ann," but I don't know that I would go so far as to say that she is on a "power trip."
I just don't know if meeting the dean is really worth it for a few points. I realize that it means a letter grade, but I'm not sure it is worth raising a stink.
Now the part you may not like...the issue of the "professionalism" points. How can you say that it is insulting to be graded on professionalism? I'm sure it's insulting to get fired for being late to work too many times, but they will fire you none the less. It seems there needs to be clearer guidelines for how one loses a professionalism point, but I think they are quite fair...especially considering you are in school to become a professional.
Also, an email is not always going to be enough to excuse you from an absence at work. (Maybe your current manager does not have an issue, but there are places that require more detailed excuses for missed weekend days).
Finally, despite what the syllabus says, it is always best (IMHO) to read--not just skim--the text before lecture.
My advice: don't get caught up in a urinating contest over this. Continue to work hard and don't let this incident get in the way of your education.Last edit by psu_213 on Nov 16, '12Nov 16, '12I'd only go to the Dean if it changes your grade for the course. If your grade drops because of those points, I would appeal the grade. If it doesn't effect your grade, let it go. Some battles aren't worth fighting. Save your energy for something more important.
As for the "professionalism points" ... we have terrible problems with that in the workplace. It is a very real problem that the profession needs to address. At least your school is trying to do something about it.Nov 16, '12I can certainly understand why you're frustrated; it's always hard to deal with difficult or demanding people. I think it's a good lesson for the workplace though.
You mentioned that Ann gets upset at perceived slights to her authority, such as a student rolling her eyes. Sorry, I have to go with Ann on this one. Rolling your eyes at someone (or in view of someone) IS rude, and it IS a slight to her authority. I've answered the same call light 5 times in one night for a patient asking for her meds after I've already given them. It's frustrating, but I would never roll my eyes at her - we often have to display much more patience than we would ever get in return. Try to view that as a lesson that Ann is teaching you, not a power trip. (It may BE a power trip, but you have the power to change your perception.)
It sounds like there were some struggles from the beginning in terms of respect, from both sides. If Ann walks into a classroom to teach and sees students rolling their eyes, I'm sure that doesn't give her a warm fuzzy feeling.
My guess is that Laura doesn't want to change your grade because she would be stepping on Ann's toes, and that wouldn't bode well for Laura if Ann is so well-connected to the dean.
Also, try to look at it this way - Ann has the ability to take 5 points off, and she only took 2. If she really wanted to mess up your academic life, she could have done a lot more. It's possible that in her mind, your absences are valid reasons for deducting points. I'm playing devil's advocate here, since I don't know her and I don't know you. My advice is to let it roll off; it doesn't seem to have a major impact on your grade or your academic performance, and you may never have to deal with this person again. Going to the dean over two points could come across as whiny, especially when you don't need them. Just try to limit your contact with her, kill her with kindness, and do a little dance at the end of the term when you're done with her.
One of my favorite sayings: Holding onto a grudge is like drinking poison and then waiting for someone else to die.Nov 16, '12"Ann" is looking for a fight - looking to make an example out of someone so that she can showcase her authority. Don't fall into that trap.
I have a feeling that the reason why "Laura" is not going to bat for you directly is less because she's concerned about her relationship with "Ann" and more because she knows "Ann" and her boss are buddies and she doesn't want to risk losing her job. For that reason, I would also advise you not to go to the Dean unless you actually face the possibility of failing due to "Ann's" antics - ESPECIALLY if you are the first student to make a complaint against her. He is likely to side with her because 1) they're old friends and 2) she's doing him a favor by filling a faculty hole that it seems has been difficult to keep filled. Don't forget, he hired her. So if she looks bad, he looks bad.
My best advice to you would be to document, document, document. Write down exact dates of communications between the two of you and from here on out, be sure to ONLY discuss delicate issues with her through e-mail - so that there is a paper trail and you won't have to play the he said, she said game later if the stuff hits the fan. If she approaches you wanting to discuss a delicate issue, tell her politely and respectfully that you would feel more comfortable discussing the matter through email and would she please email her question or suggestion to you.
I've dealt with my fair share of power trippers and their #1 goal is to get you to lose your cool, because once they do, they've got you.
Be wise. Lay low a little longer. Up the stakes for her. Let her know that it's not going to be so easy to nail you. She'll either have to blow her cover, choose another target, or let it go.
Good Luck.Last edit by metal_m0nk on Nov 16, '12Nov 16, '12psu_213 - The reason I used the word 'insulting' is not because I don't think professionalism is important, it's because adding those points to our grade implies that we need to be taught how to be professional. Not only are most of us 'non-traditional' students who have plenty of workplace experience, but a job and school are not equitable environments. My job depends on me to show up and be professional. On the other hand, students are paying the instructors to do their jobs. The only person who is negatively impacted by my absence is me, but I took responsibility for the information I missed. In fact, I missed every lecture for that unit because of the meningitis, but I still showed up to take the exam on the day it was scheduled and got the highest grade in the class that I am aware of.
I also do realize that most of the time, email is not how people communicate an absence for work...my point was that I did so because I knew that my nurse manager prefers email because she has communicated that. Not only has Ann not put forth a policy about what is an "excused" absence, the syllabus specifically states that absences don't need to be excused. What would be accepted in any given workplace is completely beside the point.Last edit by snapshot on Nov 16, '12Nov 16, '12llg - Unfortunately, the policy in the program is that I can't wait until my final grade is in to back and try to get something changed. The only reason I'm still able to be even contesting these points is that they weren't even deducted until well after the 'late'/absence occurred. If I wait until I need them at the end of the semester, it will be too late to get them returned.
logank622 - I can understand where you're coming from, and maybe I didn't explain this well, but the issues with Ann's attitude started immediately, before any interactions with us. That first day that she taught, she was YELLING, demanding SILENCE in the classroom ten before the class was scheduled to start. Then she immediately launched into the speech about how she was getting ready to hand out a quiz and all the things she would do to anyone who tried to cheat - completely unprompted. (Not to mention, the cheating policy is in the syllabus and our handbook, as it has been every semester.) I can't personally speak to any incidences of eye rolling or anything directed toward her, but I can tell you that I certainly have not done so. She is not a victim of any sort of mistreatment from me in any way.
triquee - I think you're pretty spot on about the dynamics among the three. And I've been doing exactly as you said - all of my interactions with Ann about this have been through email, at first just because I don't see her on a regular basis, but now because I want to have documentation. Someone suggested that I meet with both her and the Dean, and honestly, the reason I don't want to do that is not because I'm afraid I'll lose my cool, but because she is SO CONFRONTATIONAL at all times, and I tend to freeze up in the presence of people like that. I don't think it would do any good.
Thanks for your input, all!Nov 16, '12Problem with many instructors is they forget they work for you. You are a consumer. I've dealt with this a few times and went straight to the Dean. So many people are so scared to do anything when this happens...guess what?.. if your a good student it doesn't matter.
But you can put you head down and take it also. Right now you are the customer...when you become a RN, then your patient is the customer...that's when you have to accept some grief.
But I also feel strongly about giving people my money and them not showing a certain level of respect in return. It's really up to what your personal beliefs are.Nov 16, '12I think you should go to the Dean. If its only the usual suspects of complainers and students grasping at a chance not to fail than this does not give this unfair situation credibility. It is not fair to lose marks this way. This is your academic currency, if you want scholarships or a high GPA for future education reasons than these marks taken away unfairly can affect that. Your dean respects you, write him an email explaining that you are extremely soory to have to ask for his involvment as you know he is busy, but are going to have to on this. You have more evidence than you think. You have your emails to prove you notified the teachers of your absence (and for good reason, hope your feeling better), quiz to prove your attendence and syllabus & college policies to help back you. Don't let the bully win.Nov 18, '12My advice to you would be to document everything carefully. Then, go to the dean and in an objective and factual way (non-accusatory) let him know what is going on in that classroom. He needs to know. This is an expected part of professional behavior - being assertive, but not aggressive. Once you become a nurse and are working in a practice environment, an important acquired skill is being able to stand up for yourself (and advocating for your patients) in a professional manner. Often it is much easier to just "let things go," as confrontation (however civil), pointing out the wrong, and making waves is uncomfortable for all involved. But seldom is acquiescence the right thing to do. It takes much courage to do the right thing, because there is risk involved, especially for you, a vulnerable student.

I've been thinking about doing a set of nails to raise money for charity for a while, I know they may not raise a groundbreaking amount and I should probably run a marathon or something but I can't even make it up two flights of stairs, so this is my way of doing my bit.
I've decided to raise money for Crohns and Colitis UK (NACC). Inflammatory Bowel Disease (not to be confused with IBS) affects 1 in 250 people in the UK, with the two main types of being Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease. Both are chronic conditions and between 9,000 and 18,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Most sufferers will trial endless medications, treatments and sometimes surgeries just to try and maintain a normal standard of living. With many experiencing unpleasant side effects. Symptoms can be debilitating and due to the nature of the disease, some keep quiet about their illness. There is no cure at the moment but charities like the NACC work to raise awareness and provide information about IBD, work to improve health services and provide support for sufferer's, their families and health professionals.
|Click here for more information.
My boyfriend, Robbie, was diagnosed with Crohn's disease almost 8 years ago (long before I met him) and has had an ongoing battle with the illness since then. He's had some horrible times but through all the hospital visits/operations, periods of sickness and endless medications he's always stayed positive, which is really inspiring on days when most people would just give up.
Last year, Robbie raised money for the NACC by getting his thigh tattooed with a cartoon of his friend and fellow "crohnsie", Shaun, high-fiving the Queen. Shaun (an amazing photographer) had been chosen to take the first official photo of the Queen to go on display at the Scottish Parliament. Shaun Bailey (different guy) at Blue Blood in Manchester tattooed him for charity on the same day as the unveiling of the portrait and loads of people donated money.
Later in the year, our friends over at Abandon Ship Apparel, brought out a t-shirt to raise money for the NACC too. They used the phrase TRUE GUTS, which is the name of a really insightful Documentary made by Josh Golder (True Guts: Struggle and Triumph over Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) to raise awareness about IBD. The t-shirts were really successful and Richard even got TRUE GUTS tattooed on his fingers! You can read a lovely article about it all here:
So in-keeping with the tattoo theme, I decided to make a simple set of cute, wearable nails on baby pink with TRUE GUTS written on them in a traditional font. The thumbs have a subtle, silver glitter gradient on them and if the sets are well received then I'd love to do a whole colour range! I will be selling them on my online shop for £10 (+£2 p&p) and pledge to donate the whole £10 from each set sold - I'll keep you updated on my progress.

In July we started our own petting zoo, it's been interesting to say the least. Things I never knew I was supposed to do with the farm I'm now finding I have to do with the zoo. For example: apparently I was supposed to be registered with the department of employment even though I have no employees...??? What sense does that make?
Anyways I found this out because we are hoping to take on volunteers through www.wwoof.org. We dont want to accept volunteers though if it would create legal hassles for us so we called our insurance company for the zoo and they told us to contact workers comp. After registering we have to wait now for them to send us a packet of information. I don't want to wait! :)I want to know NOW if we can have volunteers or not.
This last year has been amazing to say the least. Due to circumstances outside our control our income doubled for the year. Leaving us money to pay all our debts, buy some petting zoo equipment and start that up, and we also bought a greenhouse. I'm not talking a little greenhouse, I'm talking 50 feet by about 20, dream come true greenhouse!
I am hoping to take on volunteers to help with several things. Both of the girls are at an age now where they fight constantly, leading to mommy having to supervise more. I'm finding it harder and harder to find the time to get out and take care of all the animals the way they should be cared for. Lots of basic care things have started to get done when they have to be done not when they should be done. Vaccinations, wormings, hoof trimmings, barn cleanings etc. So we are hoping for volunteers who would want to do daily care with and for the animals. We also have some new animals that we purchased this last year that need some training, love, grooming, etc. Then of course there's the greenhouse, I'd love to find a volunteer that wanted to work with the plants and plant, weed, build some basic planting boxes, etc.
Most of this is stuff I adore doing and simply don't have time for anymore. I've been spending any free time I have promoting and starting the petting zoo, building better housing and conditions for the animals, and doing what I can when I can. And of course answering random business questions.
I just got a phone call from a gentleman that purchased rabbits from us last year and wanted to know if we had any cages for sale. Ummmmm...until this moment no...but....that one could go....that one could...and so on... lol
So it looks like I get to go dress my children and get them ready to go outside for a bit so that I can sell some cages. For the last few years I've been aquiring any cages from anywhere I can find. Often for little to no money. But now I have all these cages and no time to fix them. Might as well make a small profit on them and pass them onto someone who needs them. One less thing for me to clean up around here.
The new website for the zoo and farm is www.bakersacreswy.com and I'm hoping it will stay there. We are having problems editing it though so I'm looking for a new host.

I've heard time and again that "change is the only thing that is permanent in life." I suppose being on Squidoo is not any different. I have not been on the site for a year at this time but have seen a number of changes already. I guess that change can be good as well. It does bring about activity. In my case, I'm now working on updating all my 89 lenses at this point. Yeah, I guess change can be good indeed.
I'm going to miss being a Squid Angel as the program is going to be scrapped too. But I'm also a Rocket Squid Greeter and would need to work double time on catching up with the loads of new lenses each week. Plus, I would need to find more inspiration for coming up with new lenses. I do intend to work on reaching my current goal of 100 lenses at least. That's still on my to-do list. A day at a time… time flies by too fast.

The TTC is possibly one of the greatest assets in the city because it allows us to get where we want without having to worry about insurance, gas, and paying for parking. But of course with two million people in a city there is a few of you who don't know how to act in a public setting, so let me give you some rules to live by to make everyone's ride on the rocket enjoyable and pain free.

The grass is starting to turn green and this was the first time that Isabella sat on the ground without a blanket under her. She was mesmerized by the grass (and thought it tasted pretty good too).
Down for a closer look. Can you tell that baby girl is finally starting to chunk up a little? I think her belly was getting in her way while sitting up - crawling on the grass to explore was easier.

The Real Story of the Big Bad Wolf
Kids' Court 2011-2012 is coming to a close. There are several more lessons before the Kids' Court Graduation, including a final mock trial. In order to prepare the students for the final production, the students needed to try out for roles and show the law student volunteers that they could be dramatic and act. As a group, we came up with motions to demonstrate key words from the story of the Three Little Pigs. The students were told to conduct the action whenever it was read aloud from the story. Since this is Kids' Court, and we're learning about the law and the legal profession, we added a legal spin! The students were read to versions of the Three Little Pigs: the Pigs' side and the Wolf's side. The students learned that the Pigs had brought suit against the Wolf for destroying their homes. As we read through each side of the stories, the students acted out the words, as well as learned the facts to support each party of the lawsuit. After the stories were finished, the students were asked to write opening statements for the prosecution and the defense. Since this was practice for our final trial, the students presented their opening statements in front of their classmates.
The students had a great time acting out the motions for the Three Little Pigs. But they loved to prepare and present their own argument to support either the Pigs or the Wolf. Anyone can be an actor, but it takes something special to be a lawyer. I think I have a lot of little lawyers at both Rose Park and Parley's Park!

Although Malbec and Mendoza are the best known names in Argentine winemaking, Torrontés is taking center stage a few hundred miles to the northwest, in the Cafayate region of Salta. It is believed that Argentina's flagship white varietal was brought to the country by Spanish Jesuits in the 18th century. Torrontés is found in the world's highest vineyards, resting at 5,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level in Argentina. The high altitude growing conditions translate beautifully to bright floral aromas and delightfully crisp acidity in our Alamos Torrontés wine.
From the winemaker – "A delightful expression of the high elevation Salta region, our Alamos Torrontés has bright floral aromas of orange and jasmine blossom. On the palate, this wine offers citrus and peach flavors that lead to a crisp finish."
This wine pairs nicely with a wide variety of Thai foods because of its ability to temper the Thai dishes. Try pad kee mao (drunken noodles), masaman curry and beef noodle soup with this one.
This wine was given a 89 point rating by Wine Spectator.

Using Visualization to Understand Social Networks
We're all embedded in vast social networks of friends, family, co-workers and more. Nicholas Christakis uses network visualizations to show how your location in the network might impact your life in ways you don't even know.
In his fine talk at TED 2010 about the complexity of social networks, Christakis explains the structure and nature of social networks. For one time we're not talking about the online equivalent, but actual human relationships. To display the effects of interconnectivity and location within a social network, a set of data visualization is being used. Although the visualizations could be improved (e.g. in regard of color choice) they help highlighting patterns and making some of Christakis' points easily understandable.
If you have 18 minutes to spare I recommend watching Nicholas Christakis: The hidden influence of social networks and share your thoughts about the quality of the visualizations in the comments.
Nicholas Christakis explores how the large-scale, face-to-face social networks in which we are embedded affect our lives, and what we can do to take advantage of this fact

Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles is convinced his new granddaughter has a promising future ahead of her because her rich and famous parents will help her achieve all of her dreams.
The superstar singer and her husband, rap mogul Jay-Z, recently became first-time parents to baby Blue Ivy, and Knowles is adamant the couple will be great providers for the youngster as she grows up.
He tells Britain's Sunday Mirror, "If Blue Ivy wants to be a doctor when she grows up then they would figure how to buy a hospital.
"If she wants to be a basketball player I already own a WNBA team so she can play there and if she wants to be a singer then she would be very happy."
Knowles also reveals he is extremely happy in his role as a grandfather, adding, "I just saw Beyonce and Blue Ivy two days ago. She has already got fifty per cent growth in three weeks. She is going to be a really tall kid. You just want to love and kiss her but the great thing with grandkids is that you can give them back."

Afghanistan's rival factions have chosen Hamid Karzai, a moderate Muslim, to head the interim administration to replace Taleban rule in the war-shattered country.
Mr. Karzai says he is honored to know that his fellow countrymen have put trust in him and that they think he can do this job. "That is a great honor for me and I am basically very grateful and with the help of all-mighty God we will do all that human beings can possibly do to bring peace, security, and economic well being for Afghanistan," he said.
Mr. Karzai is currently based in southern Afghanistan, where his forces are trying to oust the Taleban from its last stronghold in Kandahar.
The 44 year old Pashtun leader served as deputy foreign minister in the previous Afghan government led by Burhanuddin Rabbani. The Rabbani government that took control of Kabul in 1992 was largely run by minority Tajiks.
Hamid Karzai left the government in the early years because of the infighting. He was among Afghan leaders who tried to persuade Mr. Rabbani to allow more Pashtun representatives in the government in order to avoid the conflict that destroyed large parts of Kabul and killed 50,000 civilians.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition forces, Kenton Keith, told reporters in Islamabad they welcome the U.N.-mediated agreement reached by Afghan factions meeting in Germany. "Today is a good day for Afghanistan," he said. "Afghanistan is moving on and the Taleban and al-Qaida that they are supporting, are being left behind. The settlement just announced offers the country a new future one where the full ethnic tapestry of the country has a role to play."
Mr. Keith again urged the remaining Taleban forces and members of Al-Qaida terrorist group, including its leader Osama bin Laden, to give up the fight.

Player V3 LiveRail Ad Integration
LiveRail ad sets can be associated with an asset or multiple assets. This documentation describes the LiveRail integration with Player V3. LiveRail VAST ads are supported in Player V4. For documentation on the LiveRail integration with Player V4, see VAST and VPAID Ad Plugin.
To use Ooyala's LiveRail ad integrations, log into the Customer Portal and submit a ticket requesting that this ad source be added to your account. Once it's enabled you'll be able to create ad sets for LiveRail.
Step 1: Create a LiveRail Ad Set
Follow these steps to integrate with LiveRail via ad sets:
- Ad Set name: You will enter a name for the ad set.
- Publisher ID: A unique account value provided by LiveRail.
- Use Custom Metadata: You will set this to Yes to enable the ad manager to pass LiveRail run-time parameters via the ad manager.
- Partner IDs: If you are syndicating your content to a partner and are loading a unique ad set for each partner, include a value here. You must create the Partner ID in Liverail if you want to use this value.
- Tags: You could add comma-separated keywords describing the video content here. These tags will be included as targeting run-time parameters for all ad requests associated with the LiveRail ad set.
- Ad Map: The default ad map setting for LiveRail is a single pre-roll. If you would like to apply a different ad map, this value may be updated. For example, adding the value in::0;ov::5,35 to this field would include a pre-roll starting at 0 seconds and an overlay from 5 seconds to 35 seconds during playback. Whatever values you add here will apply to all videos with which the LiveRail ad manager is associated.
Step 2: Assign the LiveRail Ad Set to an Asset or Multiple Assets
You can assign an ad set to an asset or multiple assets using the Backlot UI, Player API, or Backlot API.
Backlot UI: For instructions on how to assign your LiveRail ad set to a single asset, see Managing Monetization. For instructions on how to assign your LiveRail ad set to multiple assets, see Bulk Applying Settings.
Player API: With the Player API you can only associate an ad set with an asset on your web page. To associate an ad set with an asset on multiple players you must replicate the code for each player. To associate an ad set with an asset using the Player API, see Assigning Ad Sets Dynamically.
Backlot API: With the Backlot API you can associate an ad set with an asset more concretely. That is, when you associate an asset with an ad set using the Backlot API the asset and the ad set will be paired together on any player and page you play the asset on. To associate an asset with an ad set using the Backlot API, see Associate Ad Set with Asset.
Step 3: Assign Targeting and Run-Time Parameters
The Liverail ad manager uses run-time parameters to enable content targeting. As an example, you could target specific ads to run only on news and sports videos. Or, you could allow only one advertiser to run on a particular set of videos -- maybe Ford bought all the ad space ("inventory") on car-related videos, for instance. The run-time parameters are identifiable by the prefix "LR_" and can be added via Backlot or directly to your web page.
To see a full list of available run-time parameters, go to LiveRail's Support Center.
The standard way for defining when ads should play in video stream is by using the Liverail run-time parameter LR_ADMAP. Full details on the format for this key/value pair are available in LiveRail's Support Center.
The syntax for LR_ADMAP is LR_ADMAP=Type:Inventory_scenario_id:Time.
|Input Based on Use Case
For in-stream ads, set to "in".
For overlay ads, set to "ov".
|The id value associated with a specific scenario.
For in-stream ads, set to "n", where n is either the number of seconds or the percentage of time into the content. Ex: LR_ADMAP=in:test_scenario:100%. Ex: LR_ADMAP=in::0
For overlay ads, set to "n;m", where n is either the number of seconds into the content or percentage of time to start into content and m is either the number of seconds or percentage of time into content to stop the overlay. Ex: LR_ADMAP=in::0;in::100%
Add Parameters via Backlot UI
In order for Custom metadata to be used as LiveRail runtime parameters, you will input the parameters as custom metadata key/value pairs on the Custom Metadata subtab on the MANAGE page for each asset. The 'Use Custom Metadata' dropdown needs to be set to 'Yes' on the LiveRail Ad Set associated to the videoFor instructions on how to add custom metadata to assets in Backlot, see Adding Custom Metadata in the User Documentation.
When the LiveRail ad manager is loaded, it automatically includes all of these custom metadata values when making subsequent ad requests. You can define which ads run where by creating ad targeting rules on the LiveRail platform.
Integrate the LiveRail Ad Manager with the Ooyala Player via Player Embedded Parameters
Load LiveRail Ad Manager with OO.Player.create
To load the ad manager programmatically, use OO.Player.create. See Assigning an Ad Set with OO.Player.create for instructions on how to use OO.Player.create.
var videoPlayer = OO.Player.create("playerwrapper", "embed_code", { height: "100%", width: "100%", "liverail-ads-manager": { ... } });
Here is a more robust example of LiveRail integration with the Ooyala Player on your web page. The player_branding_id of a player and the embed code of an asset can be found in the Embed tab on the MANAGE page of Backlot (the player_branding_id is in bold and the embed code is italicized in this example).

Add Parameters Directly to Your Web Page
To add additional LiveRail run-time or targeting parameters directly to your web page, use OO.Player.create. See Assigning an Ad Set with OO.Player.create for instructions on how to use OO.Player.create.

LiveRail and Mobile
To serve ads using LiveRail for mobile environments, you should download your LiveRail account VAST tag from your LiveRail account. The tag will look something like this:
This tag is effectively a VAST wrapper, meaning that it will make an ad request to LiveRail, and LiveRail will make subsequent ad calls to whatever ad sources you have defined in your LiveRail account. Once you've downloaded the VAST tag, you should integrate it into your mobile app environment(s) using our Ooyala mobile SDKs. For more information about VAST, see Integrating VAST Ads with Player V3. See Ad Set Fields for LiveRail for descriptions of the fields you can input when creating a LiveRail ad set with VAST.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by T-hug, Mar 10, 2006.
I'm not 100% but I think this may be a bad dump. Only tested in VBA but certain modes freeze up in the cutscenes before any game starts.
I got the screenshot from one of the modes after pressing right 3 times from the start menu (might have been 2 times) as none of the other modes would work up to in-game.
I don't have any witnessed any freezing problems on VBA, but anyway the game seems to be a beta, as when you press 'Select' on the 'Press Start' menu on title screen, a debug menu appears...

From 1986 to 2004, Lily Yeh served as the cofounder, executive director, and lead artist of The Village of Arts and Humanities, a nonprofit organization with the mission to build community through art, learning, land transformation, and economic development located in North Philadephia. Under her leadership of eighteen years, the summer park building project developed into an organization with twenty full-time and part-time employees, hundreds of volunteers, and a $1.3 million budget. The Village became a multi-faceted community building organization with activities such as after-school and weekend programs, greening land transformation, housing renovation, theater, and economic development initiatives. The center works on local, national, and international projects, and is a leading model of community revitalizations throughout the country. Today, the Village of Arts and Humanities serves thousands of low-income people every year.
Yeh's vision has rippled out far beyond North Philadelphia's borders. She inspires and collaborates with prison inmates to create beauty and art, and does the same with thousands of adults and children who live in some of the world's most broken communities. She has collaborated with residents of the Korogocho slum near Nairobi to transform a barren churchyard with murals and sculptures and traveled to Ghana, Ecuador, the Ivory Coast, and the Republic of Georgia to work on similar projects. Her most recent endeavor is the Rwanda Healing Project, in which she worked with hundreds of children and families to transform their bleak village into a place of beauty and joy.
Born in China, Yeh immigrated to the United States in the early 1960s to attend the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Fine Arts. A successful painter and professor at Philadelphia's University of the Arts, Yeh traveled to Beijing in 1989 to show her work at the Central Institute of Fine Art. There, she witnessed the tragic events of Tianamen Square. Over the 1980s, Yeh gradually realized that being an artist "is not just about making art… It is about delivering the vision one is given… and about doing the right thing without sparing oneself." She continues pursuing her vision through her new organization, Barefoot Artists, Inc., which teaches residents and artists how to replicate the Village model in devastated communities around the world.

Films hitting theaters today
Phoonk 2 and Paathshala are going to battle it out at the BO. Different genres but the films have one thing in common – RGV and Shahid are both hungry for a hit. Will this be their lucky day. The numbers will tell. Also releasing today...entertainment Updated: Apr 15, 2010 18:56 IST
Film: Paathshaala
Genre: Social/ Comedy
Director: Milind Ukey
Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Ayesha Takia Azmi, Sushant Singh, Saurabh Shukla
Synopsis: Rahul Prakash Udyavar (Shahid Kapoor) is a new English teacher at Saraswati Vidya Mandir. Though he strikes instant rapport with students and teachers alike, he realises that there is something amiss in the school. His doubts prove true when he realises that the school manager, Sharma (Saurabh Shukla) makes many monetary obligations compulsory on the parents in the name of extracurricular activities. He goes to the extent of punishing the students inhumanly when the unjustified demands are not fulfilled by the parents.
When Rahul unifies the teachers (Ayesha Takia Azmi, Sushant Singh, Kurush Deboo) against the atrocities of school management, school principal Aditya Sahay (Nana Patekar) defends the management's decision. This comes as a shocker to the teachers as Sahay is known for his reputation as an educationist. The situation becomes graver when school management becomes overambitious with its growth and involves media planners in the extracurricular activities.
This demands the involvement of students in TV reality shows and many other media PR activities used for building up the school image in public which starts reflecting on the students' stress levels. The pressure on young minds increases incredibly leading to unexpected and grim consequences. Caught in the web of commercialisation and rebellion, the school soon becomes a subject of national debate.
Film: Phoonk 2
Genre: Horror
Director: Milind Gadagkar
Cast: Sudeep, Amruta Khanvilkar, Ahsaas Chanana, Raksha, Neeru Singh
Synopsis: Phoonk ended with the killing of Madhu, the woman who casts a black magic spell on Rajiv's daughter Raksha. Phoonk 2 begins with Madhu's ghost returning from the grave to seek revenge on the family. On bagging a new construction project, Rajiv moves with his family to a new place. Raksha and Rohan begin exploring the new place and the surroundings — the lonely beach and the woods — behind the house.
The terror begins when the siblings find a doll in the woods. And soon begins an unending round of gruesome murders, visions, ghostly voices, and unsettling incidents. Manja, the only man whom Rajiv could turn to in such as situation, meets a gruesome death at the hands of Madhu's ghost.
Will the family survive these incidents or will they be driven to death? Terrorised by the demonic force, will Rajiv give in to the ghost? This is the choice that Rajiv has to make.
Film: Universal Soldier Regeneration
Genre: Action

Synopsis: With stolen top-secret technology, terrorists have created a next-generation Universal Soldier — an elite fighter genetically altered into a programmable killing machine. With this 'UniSol' (former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei 'The Pit Bull' Arlovski) leading the way, they seize the crippled Chernobyl nuclear reactor, threatening to unleash a lethal radioactive cloud.
The only one who can stop them is Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a UniSol who' been decommissioned for years. Reactivated and retrained, Deveraux must make a full-out assault on the heavily armed fortress. But inside, he'll discover not one but two of these virtually indestructible warriors. Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), Deveraux's vicious UniSol enemy from the original Universal Soldier, has been secretly reanimated and upgraded.
Now, these elite fighters are locked, loaded and programmed to kill; and the fate of millions hinges on this high-action showdown.

The Rieter Manual of Spinning
Detailed understanding of technology and engineering provides the fuel for innovation and success in the textile industry. Only through knowledge of relationships within and between the process stages can machine settings and thus end products be optimized in such a way as to guarantee success in the marketplace. The new, revised "Rieter Manual of Spinning" offers technical specialists, students and other interested parties a multi-volume reference work with a practical focus on the technology of short staple spinning.
How to order "The Rieter Manual of Spinning"
For the time being we can only offer payment by PayPal (Creditcard) and in those countries where PayPal is available.
- Please use the buttons on the right side to add the respective volume to your shopping cart.
- If you want to purchase different volumes use "Continue shopping" button in your shopping cart.
- You can also change the numbers of books in your shopping cart by changing the number and choose "Update cart".
- Place your order with "Proceed to checkout" in your shopping cart.
Volume 1 - Technology of Short-Staple Spinning
This first volume in the series of the Rieter Manual of Spinning deals with the basics, and therefore generally valid, technological relationships in short-staple spinning. The following volumes in this series will be organized according to machines or machine groups. Generally valid basic principles will thus be kept separate from ongoing developments in machine design and construction.
Volume 2 - Blowroom & Carding
Volume 2 of the Rieter Manual of Spinning provides in-depth information on opening, cleaning, blending and carding, and covers additional aspects such as acclimatization of raw materials, anticipated waste from various grades of fiber, selection and setting of cleaning and blending machinery, waste recycling, transport, the functions of the various card components, as well as selection and maintenance of card clothing and autolevelling systems.
Volume 3 - Spinning Preparation
This volume of the Rieter Manual of Spinning covers the technical and technological aspects of the yarn production process between carding and ring spinning. This is the most important part of the process, because the quality of the yarn depends to a large extent on the quality of the intermediate products from which it is made. This volume is in three parts, dealing in turn with the combing section (including preparation for combing), the draw frame and the roving frame.
Volume 4 - Ring Spinning
The fourth volume covers the technical and technological aspects of ring spinning. This is a very important sub-field of yarn production, because the ring frame has a major influence on the yarn product and its quality. Ring-spun yarn still represents the absolute standard for comparison when evaluating yarns produced by other spinning processes.
Volume 5 - Rotor Spinning
The rotor spinning process was developed as a result of research into alternative spinning systems. Through continual development, such great improvements have been achieved in spinning elements and conditions that it is now almost impossible to distinguish rotor-spun from ring-spun yarn optically. This volume contains in-depth information on the rotor spinning process and its properties.
Volume 6 - Alternative Spinning Systems
The alternative spinning systems produce yarn and hence endproducts in a quality that differs to a certain extent from the ring spinning standard. In order to take full advantage of the alternative spinning systems, it is therefore essential to have a thorough understanding of them. This volume is designed to contribute towards reaching this goal and describes the most important alternative spinning systems in detail.
Volume 7 - Processing of Man-Made Fibers
Ever since the introduction of man-made fibers on a commercial scale, the market share of synthetic fibers has shown an impressive growth rate. in this important field, the variety is continuosly increasing. For numerous applications today, fibers that are practically "tailor-made" are available. Spinners must therefore have detailed understanding of the fiber properties and the specific characteristics that affect their processing.

Named for the fictional university in H.P. Lovecraft's literary mythos, the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies is an international organization that offers university-level history, theory and production-based masterclasses for people of all ages. The Miskatonic is a non-profit endeavour through which established horror writers, directors, scholars and programmers/curators celebrate horror history and culture with a unique blend of enthusiasm and critical perspective.
The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies was founded by film writer and programmer Kier-La Janisse in March of 2010. After existing in embryonic form at Aqua Books in Winnipeg, Canada, Miskatonic moved to Montreal's Blue Sunshine Psychotronic Film Centre in June of 2010. From 2013-2017, Miskatonic Montreal was co-directed by Kristopher Woofter and Mario DeGiglio-Bellemare, while Janisse teamed up with UK-based film scholar and Electric Sheep founder/editor-in-chief Virginie Sélavy to launch Miskatonic London in January 2015, which has gone on to enjoy lectures from the likes of genre luminaries Kim Newman, Stephen Thrower, Jasper Sharp, Mark Gatiss, John Hough, and Daniel Bird among others. In fall of 2016, Janisse launched Miskatonic NYC with a masterclass by horror author Jack Ketchum, and the NYC branch is now co-run by Janisse and Joe Yanick, journalist and festival coordinator for Visit Films. In 2017, Kristopher Woofter and Mario DeGiglio-Bellemare disbanded Miskatonic Montreal to create their own scholarly endeavor, the Montreal Monstrum Society, while Josh Saco of Cigarette Burns Cinema took over from Virginie Sélavy as co-director of Miskatonic London.
In addition to the regular September-May curriculum, Miskatonic co-presents events throughout the year. For details, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"It's not enough to know we're scared – we need to understand how and why, and what being scared means. The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies is an initiation into an understanding of horror, which is – in the end – a key to an understanding of everything."
– Kim Newman is a journalist, critic and writer of horror fiction, including the ANNO DRACULA series (1992 – 2013). He also contributing editor to SIGHT AND SOUND and EMPIRE, writes regularly for VIDEO WATCHDOG, and is the author of the BFI Film Classics series entry on CAT PEOPLE (2008).

Kim Kardashian has hit back at claims she waxed baby North's eyebrows before posting a photo of her online.
The star said suggestions she had carried out the beauty procedure on her six-month-old daughter were untrue and "sick."
Cruel jibes began to appear on Twitter after Kardashian shared a close-up of her beautiful girl on Instagram.
Some commenters asked whether the baby's perfectly shaped eyebrows had been waxed or groomed.
"Do people really think I would wax my daughter's eyebrows so young?" Kardashian said on Twitter.
"Come on, I'd wait until she's at least 2 1/2!
"I'm kidding!!! It's pretty sick for people to insinuate that I would wax my daughter's eyebrows. They are thick, natural, and amazing!"
Meanwhile, the reality star has been offering advice to new mums - revealing her beauty tips, telling them to "get a facial, or manicure to feel goo".
She wrote on Mobio INsider: "Never lose time for u. go to the gym, get a facial, or manicure to feel goo so u can go home and be a good happy mom at home (sic)"
Eating healthily also seems to be on the agenda, with Kanye West's fiancée saying she's "doing good" despite getting cravings for something sweet.
Asked about her favourite junk food, she said: "Krispy Kreme donughts...don't tempt me, I'm doing good right now lol (sic)"
Kim is embracing being a mum after she gave birth to her daughter North West in June, and it's obviously been a life-changing experience.
She explained: "It completely changed my life. you have a different set of proprieties .nothing matters expect your brand new family (sic)"

The Perfect Kitchen
• 17 February 2011
And, the obsession with white kitchens continues...
This space is absolutely heavenly. Superb even. The thick counter tops, the sink, the cupboards, the appliances, the light, the everything! Sigh...

I keep trying to think of an excuse to buy a few of those lights, but I can't! Oh, the frustration!

Wow that is a great kitchen. Those lights especially are fantastic!

I love white kitchens. This is a strange comparison, but this looks very similar to the kitchen in the movie Knocked Up. I always swoon over the kitchen in that film.

ooooooh. i just love white kitchens - i can't decide if i always have, or if they are just really on a comeback right now. i have some white cupboards in my kitchen, really debating how & if i do more...

We are in the middle of some updates in our kitchen and I have to admit this is a beautiful kitchen. Well out of our price range though. Now that I know how expensive those sub zero fridges and wolf ranges are, I've lowered my standards quite a bit. It is still a beautiful kitchen though.
