This is the ninth post in a series by J. David Odom (ASHRAE), Richard Scott (AIA/NCARB/LEED AP), and George H. DuBose (CGC). It was first published as a mini-monograph for NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards).
It may be only a slight overstatement to state that there is no wall system which a creative architect can envision that a poor HVAC system cannot destroy. Conversely, a very well-performing HVAC system can often compensate for a marginally designed (or constructed) building envelope to the point where many moisture problems may never be noticed. However, there is a point where even an exceptionally well-performing HVAC system cannot compensate for a poorly designed wall system, especially a wall that allows rainwater intrusion or is excessively leaky to air movement.
A simplification of the above concept can be stated as:
- Bad Envelope Design + Bad HVAC Design = Guaranteed Moisture Problems
- Good Envelope Design + Bad HVAC Design = Likely Moisture Problems
- Bad Envelope Design + Good HVAC Design = Likely Moisture Problems
- Good Envelope Design + Good HVAC Design = Likely Success
(Note: The term "Good Envelope Design" refers to the correct design and construction of the air barrier, vapor retarder, thermal barrier. It does not refer to rainwater intrusion issues since even minor rainwater entry past the water-resistive barrier can be problematic. "Good HVAC Design" refers to the proper building pressurization for the specific climate, proper dehumidification, and proper air distribution within a building.)
Although new wall system products are often intended to provide better thermal insulation, reduce air movement through the walls, or allow enhanced drying of the wall assembly (via vapor diffusion), they can also perform in unanticipated ways. These new products can dramatically change the way moisture flows through wall and roof systems and the potential for condensation within these cavities.

text: FXStreet (Delhi) – Research Team at TDS, suggests that last week's negative data run unfolded as we had expected but USDCAD had difficulty in getting much liftoff with funds unable to push above 1.3380 resistance until in the overnight session (on little liquidity). Key Quotes "Retail sales was weak as we expected, falling by 0.5% m/m on both the headline and core measures but after a momentary push higher, USDCAD eventually and counterintuitively retreated to the 1.33. Perhaps this had to do with the fact that volumes nudged higher by 0.1% m/m, though our tracking for monthly GDP (September) remains tilted towards a 0.1% decline. This will be released on December 1st and, when taken in conjunction with a holiday shortened week due to US Thanksgiving and an empty Canadian data calendar suggest that USDCAD could struggle to find material upside." "Though the calendar will be quiet in Canada this week, we do receive a handful of top-tier data in the US including the second estimate of US GDP (Q3), durable goods (October) and core PCE (October). On a broad basis, we expect the data to lean constructively for the US so that should we are still inclined to see USDCAD bid." "USDCAD, like many other currencies, have been trendless recently and quite frankly, we think the market focus is elsewhere. Specifically, with the ECB meeting on December 3rd just around the corner (we expect more cuts and augmentation of QE), there is just not as much interest to trade USDCAD." "That said, USDCAD was able to make a move above thick resistance at 1.3380 in the overnight session. It appears that funds has finally caught up to the sell-off in crude oil (~$40.50/bbl currently in WTI). Spot trades just at the figure (1.34), which is in line with our daily fair value estimate. A close above 1.3380 would be mildly bullish. Investors will need to remain patient however." "Even though the technicals (daily RSIs and stochastics) suggest that the rally is looking a touch fatigued the downside looks fairly limited in our view. Solid support comes in around the 1.3200/50 area – a region that corresponds to the 61.8% Fib level from the October lows. We maintain our year-end target of 1.37."

Introducing The Fiercest FightBy Brent King On November 22, 2015 Under Authors, Books
The Fiercest Fight Will Help You Think About Reality In A New Way
It was CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien that set me on the path to write Christian fantasy. What captured my imagination was that these stories contain moral truth "in solution" rather than the way that we are usually accustomed to receiving it. I believe that there are some aspects of truth that can only be seen in this way.
Fantasy explores the unseen realities of truth symbolically. Though it is not reality, it can provide a way to think about reality. As children, imagination is how we engage in understanding our world and ourselves. Part of our journey of self-discovery involves experiencing different modes of being. We are all still children.
Why A Werewolf Story?
For many years I have been troubled by the werewolf stories I have read and watched. Though many speak powerfully to mankind's problem, none ring completely true for me as to the solution. One day I was discussing my discontent with my eldest son, Dustin, who had just watched the 2010 film adaption of The Wolfman. In the midst of our talk we decided that it was time to tell the story right, and The Fiercest Fight was born.
This fantasy takes a closer look at that dark creature we see in the mirror every day. Yet this creature is more than just a horror to us, for if we look more closely it is surrounded by metaphors of life, hope, and redemption. Go ahead, follow this creature into my debut novel and enjoy a flight of imagination that will inform your reality.
And just because I'm so excited, here's another chance to win an autographed copy of my debut novel, The Fiercest Fight.

Background Info
-We're both freshmen in college
-We met at the beginning of this semester
-We hung out a bunch during school
-Over break we text just about every night
-She broke up with her ex-bf of a year in june/july
I asked in late november if we could be official, but she still needed time from her break up, which was fine by me. Then, before winter break I asked again what were because I thought it was important to clarify since we weren't going to see each other for a month. She said that we were dating but not official. She said she couldn't put enough into relationship at that point to be fair to me. She also said that with finals and all that stress she wanted to think about being official over break when things would calm down, and that way she'd be able to really think about it with a clear head. Anyways my question is, when I get back to school and see her should I bring it up again? Or is this something I should just wait for her to bring up? I just don't wanna seem like I'm pressuring her into making it official. Thanks in advance!
Most Helpful Guy
I would say that this girl is very questionable. And yes I would bring this topic up again soon, if you get the "am still not ready" speech again, I would tell her nicely but assertively that "if that is the case I will be starting to date other girls then because even though I like you, I can't wait for ever." This will do one of 3 things. 1, By her reaction, if she doesn't seem to care then I don't need to tell you, you'll already know. 2, if she reacts in anger it may show that she cares but it may also show she was just using you. 3 If she reacts in sadness or disagreement it may show that she does care for you and that you do mean a lot to her.00|00|0
Yeah I'm not great at reading girls, but she's definitely a tough one to get a read on. Anyways, that's a good idea. I have a second question though. We're supposed to hangout soon before school starts this weekend (we live 30 min from each other.) Should I ask about it then (it would be about 25 days after I asked her before break) or should I wait and ask when we go back to school in about 2 weeks? Thanksin advance!
- Show AllShow Less
Well, you need to start a conversation that doesn't start on that topic but ends up there. You know more about her so talk about something she likes or is interested in and slowly ease your way to, "So I want to ask you, are you still hurt from your last relationship?" If you leave it like that, it will give you a pretty cut and dry answer if she if worth going forward with, or just staying friends for now and waiting til a better time. Good Luck.
Alright, thanks a ton man! I really appreciate it

A Jordanian student who was detained and then freed filed suit yesterday against a group of F.B.I. agents, a federal prosecutor and Attorney General John Ashcroft. The student's detention after the Sept. 11 attacks was ruled invalid by a federal judge who said the government could not use the material-witness law to hold people in grand jury investigations. The suit by the student, Osama Awadallah, accuses the authorities of false arrest, malicious prosecution and excessive force. In finding last April that Mr. Awadallah was detained illegally, Judge Shira A. Scheindlin also dismissed charges that he had lied before the grand jury when he denied knowing the name of one of the suspected hijackers. Spokesmen for the United States attorney's office and the F.B.I. in New York would not comment. Benjamin Weiser (NYT)Continue reading the main story

Schooled at Latymer Upper School (London), Peter graduated in law from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (1996). He first worked for Nordic Star (Scandinavian celebrity management firm) before training as a solicitor in London and Brussels. He then moved to Washington D.C. to work on private equity deals for Wilmer Cutler and Pickering LLP before teaming up with his friend, William Clothier, to create the C&G Group in Budapest in 2005. His Budapest activities started with real estate and the renovation of old buildings and now cover a boutique hotel as well as arts and entertainment production.
An enthusiastic downhill and cross-country skier, golfer (Cambridge 'Blue'), Peter spends his limited down-time on the polo field and in the commentary box. He speaks Swedish, French and basic Italian as is 'working on' his Hungarian. He enjoys art and music in all forms and whilst his favourite artists have been prone to change his current favourites are The Stagger Rats with whom his entertainment company, WP Ents, has been working on the recording of their first album in Budapest.1. When did you arrive in Hungary and what brought you here?I know most people come for love in some form or other but I arrived in 2005 to supplement my business partner's initial work on the real estate front.
2. Have you ever been an expatriate elsewhere?I think one needs to spend a minimum of 6 months somewhere to qualify as 'living' there. On that basis, I have lived (and tried to immerse myself) in Stockholm, Brussels and Washington DC.
3. What surprised you most about Hungary?The depth of creativity and I keep discovering more pockets of wonderful artistic talent.
4. Friends are in Budapest for a weekend - what must they absolutely see and do? A broad range to encourage them to return: my typical tour involves seeing a performance at the Opera (fabulous), trying goulash (hearty), drinking Hungarian red wine (one of Hungary's best kept secrets), soaking in Szechenyi baths (with a caveat for the more precious about the changing rooms) and gargling palinka or unicum at one of the underground drinking holes.
5. What is your favourite Hungarian food?Lecsó - I am stil not quite sure what to make of fruit soups. Cottage cheese chocolate has yet to get me very excited. Sorry.
6. What is never missing from your refrigerator?Croissants and pezsgő
7. What is your favourite Hungarian word?Lomtalanítás - ie. chuck-out days when you can find some great old furniture dumped on the street
8. What do you miss most from home? I am peripatetic and enjoy being exposed to many different places - I don't have a home per se.
9. What career other than yours would you love to pursue?I have tried quite a few things but suspect I might have enjoyed being an actor
10. What's a job you would definitely never want?Anything medical - I am feebly sqeamish.
11. Where did you spend your last vacation?I don't have holidays too often but like to combine business trips with visiting friends and seeing new place. My last trip was to California.
12. Where do you hope to spend your next holiday?I am due to head to Sao Paulo to scope out some new business opportunities.
13. What was your favourite band, film, or hobby as a teen?Rolling Stones - even though they were before my time, I purchased most of their albums - it was the pre download era! James Bond films always hit the mark. My main hobby was golf although I have largely given up now.
14. What can't you resist?Moscow Mules or harribo (sour) sweets.
15. Red wine or white?Moscow Mules.
16. Book or movie?Depends on the company.
17. Morning person or night person?Depends on the company….
18. Which social issue do you feel most strongly about?Animals - following Ghandi's view that you can determine how civilised people are by the way they treat their animals.
19. Buda or Pest side?Pest
20. What would you say is your personal motto?I have to mention my school motto ('lente et certe') but prefer the one that we print on our napkins at Brody House: 'if you accept an invitation to dinner, you have an obligation to be amusing'

COMO — A federal appeals panel has upheld the award of $50,000 to former Como police chief Cleve Gale for "emotional distress" after his 2008 firing from the chief's job.
A federal jury ruled for Gale in 2012. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the verdict June 13, denying an appeal by the town of Como.
The jury found that Gales' race — he is black — played a factor in his firing, though it was not the only factor.
The 3-2 town board vote to fire Gale was along racial lines with three white aldermen voting to fire him. Gale had served 25 years as police chief.
The federal jury in Oxford, Miss., declined to award Gale back pay.

SDCC was the nerd event of the year, as Marvel, DC and many others brought their A-game. The biggest surprise of all was the presence of Justice League. The highly anticipated superhero ensemble doesn't come out for a year (or more) and is still shooting, but with a god-like group photo. But after that, it seemed like that was it from Justice League, but NOPE, a trailer was released and it was amazing! Filled with fun, the characters and gave us a good look for what's in store when JL comes out November 2017. Now, it wasn't much of a trailer, because it was nothing more than just some footage to get fans excited, but it still had some interesting moments. Watch it below:
It wasn't chock-full of Easter Eggs, but it had some cool ones that I gathered, take a seat and here's some of the coolest Easter Eggs from the Justice League teaser.
1. Barry Allen Watches Rick & Morty?
Yeah, you read that right. In the scene where Bruce pays Barry a visit, you can clearly see in the background a TV monitor showing an episode of Rick & Morty where Summer and Rick beat up people and, yes, it was an awesome episode. Seems that we have another reason to like the DCEU's version of Barry.
Another interesting thing is that in the start of the scene where Barry enters his apartment and sees Bruce we get a computer screen with a skull, which could be dismissed as a simple computer wallpaper, but could it be the AI character, Gideon? Maybe or maybe not, but it's fun to think about.
2. Aquaman's Eyes & Amnesty Bay
One thing that might have made some people wonder is why are Aquaman's eyes like that? Well, for those who are unfamiliar, one of his powers is that he can see in the dark, like the bottom of the sea-level of darkness.
Another thing that might have confused people who don't know much (like nothing at all) about Aquaman is why isn't he on Atlantis? Well, Arthur Curry protects the world of humans as well, living in the small town of Amnesty Bay. His father lives there in a lighthouse. It's complicated. Plus, it's obvious they tweaked Jason Momoa's eyes, so that's cool.
3. Injustice Much?
While descriptions of the suit did point to it having an Injustice feel to it, but with living proof, yeah, it's Injustice, alright. From the mechanic feel to the metal pieces. It seems that the armor is covering up the rubber pieces, while wires hold the whole suit together, which if any of the details spilled from the set visits are any indication, then presumably Barry will get a new, much more classic Flash suit near the end of the film made by Bruce.
Something like THIS would be cool, but maybe a more Rebirth look would fit nicely with the universe and the character that is being set-up. Plus, Iris West has been cast and oh, MY.
4. The Mother Boxes And New Enemies
The Mother Boxes were featured in Dawn of Justice and so was the villain of JL, Steppenwolf. We see in the trailer some people dressed in medieval outfits and are seen burying a Mother Box. Some assumed they were New Gods, but nope — they are men. Know why? Because in leaked plot details, men, Amazonians and Atlanteans formed an alliance against Darkseid and his army and won, with the Mother Boxes being left behind and Steppenwolf is after them (possibly).
Also, Darkseid is said to not be the villain for this film but will appear. That sounds amazing, frankly.
Justice League arrives November 17th, 2017.

As if that isn't exciting enough in itself, the proposal was the cutest thing we've seen. Not only did he plan for it to go down right before the big show, but he also got a flash mob involved.
About 40 dancers from Pennsylvania and Ohio created the mob in the parking lot ot help Brad Haas propose to his girlfriend Steph Benson. Of course, it was all caught on camera as everyone danced to a mix of songs, including "Leave the Night On" by Sam Hunt and "Sparks Fly" by Taylor, outside of Gate A at Heinz Field.
When the dancers were done, Brad grabbed his girlfriend by the hand and proposed to her in front of dozens of people. Watch the video below to see what her answer was!

This invention pertains to electronics enclosures and, more particularly, to an improved housing for electronics enclosures.
Outdoor electronics enclosures are used in connection with a variety of different utility applications including telephone, cable television, fiber optics and power distribution. For example, pedestal style electronics enclosures are used in telecommunications systems to house splices or terminal connections between service or distribution wires and buried telephone cables. Since pedestal enclosures are located outdoors, they must be substantially weather tight in order to protect the electronic connections from adverse environmental conditions such as wind, rain, snow and flooding. The enclosures also have to be relatively secure in order to guard against entry by unauthorized personnel and durable in order to withstand the wear-and-tear associated with being located in an outdoor environment.
To this end, in the telecommunications industry, there are a series of stringent standards with which the external housing of an electronics enclosure must comply. For example, the external housing must be able to withstand the ultraviolet (UV) radiation associated with prolonged exposure to sunlight without degrading. Additionally, the housing must be able to withstand substantial impacts even at low temperatures. The housing also must be fire resistant. Obviously, the materials of construction are an important consideration in designing an enclosure that can meet all of these requirements. Plastic housings are commonly used. However, because they must be specifically formulated to withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining strength and flexibility, the plastic materials used for electronics enclosure housings, particularly for the telecommunications industry, are quite expensive. Accordingly, a need exists for a more cost effective housing for electronics enclosures.
The invention provides an outdoor pedestal enclosure for housing telecommunications equipment. The outdoor pedestal enclosure includes a base section and a cover engageable with the base section so as to define an interior space. The base section and cover are made of a multilayered plastic material including an outer layer and an inner layer. The inner and outer layers can be formulated to have different properties. For example, the outer layer can be formulated to be relatively more UV resistant than an inner layer. The inner layer can be formulated to be more impact resistant than the outer layer at low temperatures.
Referring now to
When in use, at least a portion of the base section 12 is typically filled with dirt and/or gravel and buried in the ground. Underground cables can be fed into the interior space of the pedestal enclosure 10 through an opening in the base section 12. To support the cabling, connections or other electronics housed in the pedestal enclosure 10, a bracket system 26 is provided. The bracket system 26 illustrated in
In order to provide enhanced cost-effectiveness as well as the strength, toughness and weatherability necessary to meet even the stringent standards imposed by the telecommunications industry, the base section and cover can be made of a multilayered plastic material. The multilayered construction can be made using any suitable method including, for example, co-extrusion and co-injection molding. In existing pedestal enclosures, the base section and cover are conventionally made of a single homogenous layer of plastic material. Unfortunately, because it must be specifically formulated to meet so many disparate performance criteria, the plastic used to make telecommunications pedestal enclosures is quite expensive. The use of a multi-layered construction according to the present invention allows the individual layers to have distinct formulations that are designed to have different material properties in order to meet certain specific performance objectives. As a result, the material can be more easily and closely tailored to the requirements of the particular application, e.g., telecommunications. Moreover, it has been found that a multi-layered base section and cover according to the invention that meets the performance requirements of the telecommunications industry can be manufactured much more cheaply than a single layered material that is formulated to conform to the same requirements.
When utilizing a co-extrusion process, the multilayered housing material of the present invention can be produced by feeding the individual plastic formulations, in either powder or pellet form, to two or more different extruders. The multiple plastic layers are extruded separately and then brought together while the layers are still in a molten state such that the layers overlie each other. At this point, the molecular chains of the plastic layers are linked together creating a homogenous bond between the layers. The joined plastic layers are then pushed over or through one or more dies that produces the desired shape for the electronics enclosure housing.
While a material having more layers is possible, in a preferred embodiment, the base section and cover are each made of a material having two layers, i.e. distinct inner and outer layers 30, 32 (see
As will be appreciated, the specific type of PVC resin as well as the specific additives used can vary depending on the design requirements for particular applications. For outdoor telecommunications applications, in particular such applications requiring compliance with the GR-13-CORE standards promulgated by Telcordia Technologies, the base PVC resin used for both the inner and outer layer PVC compositions is preferably a PVC homopolymer made by a suspension polymerization process. More specifically, a suspension grade PVC homopolymer with a K value of 67 (as determined by ISO Standard 174) and an intrinsic viscosity of 0.93 (as determined by ASTM D1243) can be used. To enhance conversion of the resin as well as the physical properties of the resultant plastic material, the inner and outer layer PVC compositions can include a processing aid. A preferred processing aid is a high molecular weight methyl methacrylate alkyl acrylate copolymer. The processing aid is preferably provided in relatively small amounts such as around 1 part per hundred of PVC resin (phr).
To provide resistance to the UV radiation encountered in outdoor applications, the composition of each layer can include a UV stabilizing pigment. Over time, exposure to UV radiation can affect a polymer's mechanical strength as well as produce a major color shift. While PVC homopolymers have a natural ability to withstand the effects of UV radiation with only a limited reduction in mechanical properties, PVC homopolymers can have color shift problems. Thus, to help the PVC composition withstand color shift due to prolonged UV exposure, both the inner and outer layers 30, 32 can include a rutile titanium dioxide pigment as a UV stabilizer. The titanium dioxide can have a siloxane surface coating and a mean particle size of about 0.23 micron. Since the inner layer 30 will not be directly exposed to sunlight, it can have significantly less titanium dioxide than the outer layer 32. For example, according to one preferred embodiment, the inner layer 30 can have around 2.5 phr of titanium dioxide while the outer layer 32 can have around 10.0 phr of titanium dioxide. A filler material also can be added to both the inner and outer layer 30, 32 compositions as a package with the UV stabilizing pigment. In a preferred embodiment, the filler material is calcium carbonate with the inner layer 30 having around 7.0 phr and the outer layer 32 having around 3.0 phr. The use of an appropriate heat stabilizer can also provide protection against color shift caused by exposure to UV radiation. In a preferred embodiment, a butyltin mercaptoacetate heat stabilizer can be used in both the inner and outer layer compositions at level of around 1.8 phr.
To improve the impact resistance of the rigid PVC resin, the compositions of both the inner and outer layers can include an appropriate impact modifier that has a low glass transition temperature. In this case, an acrylic impact modifier is used in the composition for the outer layer 32. Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, a polybutyl acrylate—polymethyl methacrylate copolymer at a level of around 8.0 phr can be used as an impact modifier in the composition for the outer layer 32. For the inner layer 30, preferably, a methacrylate butadiene styrene (MBS) impact modifier at a level of around 6.0 phr can be used. Because the inner layer 30 uses a MBS impact modifier as well as less titanium dioxide pigment, the inner layer 30 has certain superior mechanical properties as compared to the outer layer 32. For example, the MBS impact modifier provides better impact resistance at low temperatures than the acrylic impact modifier. Conversely, the acrylic impact modifier provides better weatherability than the MBS impact modifier. Thus, the use of a co-extruded material for the housing allows the inner layer 30 to be specifically formulated with a MBS impact modifier to provide cold weather impact resistance without regard to the weatherability limitations of MBS since the inner layer is not exposed to the elements. Similarly, with the co-extrusion of the present invention, the outer layer 32 can use an acrylic impact modifier to provide superior weatherability without regard to the low temperature impact resistance since the inner layer provides that housing property.
Once the base plastic formulations for the two layers have been established, the formulations may need to be adjusted due to issues associated with the manufacturing process. For example, a co-extrusion process is a relatively longer process than a basic single layer extrusion. As a result, when using a co-extrusion process, the formulations of the inner and outer layers may need to be adjusted to prevent the longer residence time from causing any substantial degradation in the mechanical chains of the plastic layers. In addition, the fusion time for the two layers should be substantially identical. The formulation of both layers also should take into account the thermal stability requirements associated with the processing temperatures and the frictional heat generated when the layers move across and through the dies. One way in which some of these adjustments can be made is through the use of a lubricant package. Such a lubricant package can include additives that act as external lubricants and additives that function both as an internal and an external lubricant. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lubricant packages for both the inner and outer layers 30, 32 can include calcium stearate, an ester lubricant such as glycerol monostearate and a PE wax such as oxidized low molecular weight polyethylene. The lubricant package for the inner layer 30 preferably also can include a paraffin wax such as hydrocarbon wax. The lubricants are typically provided in relatively small amounts. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the total lubricant package is around 2.7 phr for the outer layer 32 (e.g., approximately 1.2 phr calcium stearate, 1.0 phr ester lubricant and 0.5 phr PE wax) and around 3.25 phr for the inner layer 30 (e.g., approximately 0.9 phr calcium stearate, 0.75 phr ester lubricant, 0.2 phr PE wax and 1.5 phr paraffin wax). The heat stabilizer also helps improve the thermal stability of the resin allowing the inner and outer layer compositions to withstand longer residence times without degradation.
While exemplary PVC compositions have been described for GR-13-CORE compliant outdoor telecommunications pedestal enclosures, it will be understood that the present invention is not limited to these exemplary formulations. To the contrary, the invention could encompass multilayered housings for outdoor electronics enclosures for other types of equipment such as power transmission or cable television equipment. Also, the composition of the different layers can be varied such as by using different additives, different base materials or different amounts of the additives.

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for Florida Atlantic University video editing, you may think about James Sprunt Community College undergrad courses online for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Live Wide Open - Lida Farm from H2M on Vimeo.
Ryan started in farming as an apprentice at Foxtail Farm of Osceola, WI in 2000 and 2001, one of the first CSA operations in the Twin Cities. After learning the ropes of vegetable production and operating a CSA, Ryan and Maree started out on their own in 2002, growing produce on Maree's home farm in Lake Elmo and selling each Saturday at Northeast Minneapolis Farmers Market. Ryan and Maree moved to Otter Tail County in 2004 and started their CSA in 2006 after a couple seasons in production and selling at the Lakes Area Farmers Market in Detroit Lakes. We were blessed to have an opportunity to start our own farm and family near Pelican Rapids.

How to get over a break-up like a grown-up
The end of a relationship can cause a range of different emotions, but there is a way to get through it with your humility and pride intact.
1. Let go of anger
If you are angry about the break-up, you won't move on. You need to do whatever it takes to let go of this anger, even if that means talking to your former love. Be calm and explain why you are angry and seeing as it is over anyway, don't get mad all over again. What's the point?
2. Allow yourself grieving time
Break-ups are hard. You're going to have a bad time. So draw a bubble bath, grab The Notebook and allow yourself a *small* amount of time to grieve.
3. Don't jump into anything
So the kind-of cute guy in your office jumps at the chance of a date when he hears you're single. Of course, go on a date, why not, but don't rush into a relationship straight away. If a relationship blooms, you need a clean slate.
4. Keep a diary
Keep a diary or a journal and write down how you feel every day or even every week if you're busy. You will be surprised to see how your feeling change and evolve as the weeks go on following a break-up.
5. Get out there
What are your girlfriends for? Grab them (and some cocktails) and hit the town for a great night out. You don't have to hook up with anyone but you will get a confidence boost when you realise that your friends are there for you and there is life out there!
6. Don't text or call him
This one is important, you won't get over him if you are talking to him every other night. Delete his number to avoid any embarrassing drunk-texts too.

- Hollywood star Lupita Nyong'o is under fire for committing an abomination when she visited her parents in Seme a week ago
- The elders are now calling Lupita's family to have her cleansed, lest a bad omen befalls her
Hollywood star and Oscar winner, Lupita Nyong'o might not enjoy her Kenyan visit, after all. A tempest is coming her way shortly after she documented her visit with the Vogue magazine.

With the act, the elders say that the actress went overboard and broke every rule in the book. She reportedly exposed herself to her father contrary to her kinsmen rules.
A section of the elders who watched the video called for a cleansing ceremony. It will sanctify her after she committed the abomination.
If she does not undergo the cleansing ceremony, a bad omen might befall. Such words, coming from an elder portend no good.

These skinny sweatpants are by Old Navy. They're super comfortable and easy to move around in – a great combination for workout pants. My favorite thing about these pants are the black stripes on sides. They're not only a stylish embellishment but they create the illusion of a slimmer leg.
The top is by famed yoga clothing line Lululemon. Their products are really worth the hype. They're very well made and incredibly figure-flattering. This top features a great design on the back and is in the color merlot. Expect to see this color everywhere this season.
These black Asics sneakers are great for anyone with a low arch and/or folks who tend to place their weight on the outer sides of their feet. Not only are they functional and good for your feet, but they're quite stylish as well. I love black sneakers. They go with everything and make me feel ready for whatever workout lies ahead.
To keep me on time and to track my fitness goals, I use the Polar FT7 heart monitor/watch. It comes in an array of colors but I love the sleek black and silver combo. This watch monitors your heart rate as you exercise and thus gives you an accurate reading of how many calories you've burned off. I'm also wearing my Dior aviator sunglasses to protect my eyes from the sun and adds just another touch of cool to my look.
I kept my makeup simple for easy removal post-brunch. I'm wearing FLOWER Beauty's Kiss Stick in Get to the Poinsettia. I love the bright red hue as a major pop of color to my look.

On August 26, 1970, Betty Friedan and the National Organization For Women (NOW) created a nationwide Women's Strike for Equality. Fifty years after gaining the right to vote, women had yet to be given equal opportunities in employment and education, to name a few. Many of these inequalities, unfortunately, still exist to this day.
August 26th was National Women's Equality Day and I saw a lot of articles and videos popping up about women's rights. Along with each of these posts, I saw many comments (from both men and women) about their dislike for the entitlement and "man-bashing" that seemed to go along with the promoting of women.
While women's equality day doesn't actually use the word feminism, it still seems to bring about unfavorable feelings. As I've become a woman and began to be interested in human rights, which include women's, I have encountered many different views and opinions on feminism. As soon as the word comes up in discussion, a Facebook post, or a celebrity or political spokesperson uses it, immediate backlash accompanies the support of the movement.
I have never labeled myself a feminist or used the word to describe myself in conversation or social media. I have strayed away from using that word because I don't think it's the most accurate for how I feel about women's rights.
There is a history of women using feminism to do more harm than good, and there is no shortage of women who publicly put down men in order to raise themselves. I support and stand behind any campaign that seeks to bring equality for everyone – men, children, minorities, those associating with a different gender or sexual preference, immigrants, and, yes, even women. However, I don't like the word feminism because it is commonly used to promote women with little regard to others, mainly men. I want women, myself included, to be treated just as well as the average white, rich male is treated. However, I don't want to make men any less appreciated or respected, nor do I think it is helpful to diminish the rights of men to try and gain rights for women.
I'm all for stepping on toes, making a ruckus, making people uncomfortable and standing the "norm" on its head. I disagree that women should only be gentle, sweet, and understanding without being able to be strong, sarcastic, and smart.
In a classroom this week at my college campus, we had a discussion that turned into how great feminism is. The men in the room either didn't speak up at all, or seemed to go over the top by saying how supportive they were for feminism, perhaps trying to please the women in the room.
I had a discussion with a male co-worker at one of my campus jobs this week where he made a somewhat sexist joke and then quickly followed it by saying "I don't mean that seriously." (We could get into a whole "sexist jokes" conversation, but I'll leave that for another day.) He then quickly added that he is a feminism and continued to mumble on, uncomfortably, until I jumped in to save him from his awkwardness and said "I don't take offense at just a joke," which calmed him down. We then had an interesting conversation where I mentioned that, while supporting women's equality, I in no means want to stomp all over men. He responded appreciatively, saying he feels like has to always agree with women 100% or he'll be called anti-feminist or be attacked by hateful comments.
My wondering, to women who call themselves feminists, and to those who don't, is what do we gain by promoting ourselves only at the detriment to men? I want men to support our fight for equal wages, a strong political voice, and to be seen as strong and capable. I don't believe that men will support or stand with us if the only way we make progress in those areas is to slay every man in our path.
Shouldn't equality, of every kind, be fought for together?

In a world where an entire generation of youth has come of age on social media, virtual relationships are slowly replacing real-life human connections, and China has taken it to an extreme. Here, online showrooms have become the most popular gathering place for hundreds of millions. They attract China's super rich — who lavish virtual gifts on their favorite performers — and the dirt poor, many of them migrant workers in urban areas searching for a cheap way to be entertained, to feel connected. These two groups never cross paths in real life, yet in this digital universe they band together to worship online idols who earn as much as $130,000 a month singing karaoke or doing talk shows to live, interactive audiences numbering in the tens of thousands.
People's Republic of Desire follows three main characters — a singer (21), a talk-show host (24), and a migrant worker (18) — as they search for fame, fortune, and human connection in these showrooms. The story culminates in a bizarre annual online idol competition, in which the rich can buy unlimited amount of votes for their favorite performers. There all three of these people realize that money alone pulls the strings in this virtual universe, and human connection and personal happiness remain as elusive online as in our real and broken world.

CAIRO — The presidential candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood and two popular rivals eliminated before the runoff called on Monday for further street protests until Egypt's current military rulers enforce legislation disqualifying the other remaining candidate, former President Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister, Ahmed Shafik.
In a joint statement, the candidates also endorsed a call for a major demonstration on Tuesday to protest what they called the weak verdict handed down over the weekend in Mr. Mubarak's trial. Their statement was the most forceful effort yet to use anger over the verdict to galvanize opposition to Mr. Shafik, long considered a contender to succeed Mr. Mubarak inside his authoritarian one-party system. But it was also the latest blow to the credibility of Egypt's first competitive presidential election.
The call for Mr. Shafik's elimination came less than two weeks before he is set to face Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in the runoff, scheduled for June 16 and 17. The new president is expected to take power from the military council that has governed since Mr. Mubarak's ouster 16 months ago; attempts to draft a new constitution have so far deadlocked, which means the new president could play a formative role in the shaping of Egypt's charter.
The Muslim Brotherhood said in its own statement that all three candidates agreed to demand not only a retrial of Mr. Mubarak but also legal action against Mr. Shafik for his role as Mr. Mubarak's prime minister, "bringing to justice those accused of conniving with the defendants by hiding evidence, including the prime minister and minister of interior during that period, who are now seeking to abort the revolution."
The Brotherhood urged support for Mr. Morsi as "the candidate of the revolution." The Brotherhood is Egypt's largest Islamist movement and dominates the newly elected Parliament. But Mr. Morsi and Mr. Shafik each won just under a quarter of the vote in the first round of balloting last month, with Mr. Morsi just ahead of Mr. Shafik.
Earlier Monday, three eliminated candidates — Hamdeen Sabahi, a leftist who narrowly trailed Mr. Shafik in the first round; Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a moderate former Brotherhood leader who came in next with about 18 percent of the vote; and Khaled Ali, a human rights lawyer — held a joint news conference to denounce the results of the first round as fraudulent, citing irregularities and limits on monitoring.Continue reading the main story
International observers have said many isolated abuses did not sabotage the overall fairness of the vote, and the three losing candidates did not present new evidence. But because the three together had the support of nearly half the voters — more than either candidate in the runoff — their joint criticism threatens to undermine the legitimacy of the final result and with it Egypt's halting transition to democracy.
Mr. Aboul Fotouh and Mr. Sabahi met separately with Mr. Morsi of the Brotherhood to issue the statement calling for more protests and the elimination of Mr. Shafik. Before the first round of the voting, the Brotherhood-led Parliament passed legislation barring Mr. Shafik and other top officials of the Mubarak government from seeking the presidency, and the ruling generals signed it. But the presidential election commission set the legislation aside by referring it to the Supreme Constitutional Court, and the court has not ruled on the matter.
It is highly unlikely that the legislation could be approved and enforced before the runoff, in part because the election commission has said that it intends to retain the last word on how the legislation is carried out even if the court approves the restriction. Mr. Shafik's elimination would require the cancellation of the first round of results since there is no way to know which other candidate his voters might have chosen. As a result, the military's transfer of power would be postponed.
But the call for the protests to aim for Mr. Shafik's elimination is the latest step in the Brotherhood's efforts to make the question of punishment for Mr. Mubarak a centerpiece of the presidential campaign against Mr. Shafik.
The verdict of life imprisonment instead of execution for Mr. Mubarak has already revived popular resentment toward Mr. Mubarak's circle, and Monday was the third day of protests demanding heavier punishment for Mr. Mubarak and his security team.
Many fear that Mr. Shafik could grant clemency to the former president and his aides. But some argue that the continued protests could backfire by increasing popular support for Mr. Shafik's vows to restore stability.Continue reading the main story

Forums: Newbies: What is a Beatnik?!
Beatniks were a group of artists in the 1950's. They were non-conformists who used their art to express their emotions, which was usually against society. They were outcasts and proud. As the 50's ended the Beat Movement gave birth to the Hippie Movement. Although they were similar in a "hate the establishment" sort of way, their methods and dress were quite different.
What is an Urb Beatnik?!
On Urb, the Beatniks are the funkiest members on the site. Funk-Ahhh-Delic ALT is the main group for these members. The Beatniks on Urb are people who grew wary of the same ol' battle of good versus evil (although some of us still keep our allegiance with one group or the other). Beatniks aren't all good nor are they all evil, their love for the arts keep them grounded. They are often ridiculed for their free spirit and accused of being a Hippie but only the ignorant do that.
We are not Vigilantes, they too play a vital role in the good vs. evil struggle. All in all, an Urb Beatnik, like the original, rejects all conformity and plays by their own rules.
What's Funk-Ahhh-Delic ALT?!
Funk-Ahhh-Delic ALT: The ALTernative to the Mundane, is a group that was founded by Love Child and Afro Chic truly. We are a small group filled with newbies and older members who are retired Heroes and Villains. We pledge to keep Urbanville funky by participating in contests, Gallery/Chronicles submissions, writing in forums, playing games, etc. Most of our members rock the Beatnik disposition but we have others who choose otherwise. We don't force our members to choose our disposition, ever.
So if you're tired of the never ending battle between what is good and what is evil, maybe it's time to go to the place where the berets and sunglasses are free.
Come check us out at the Arts District and sign your name on our charter:
SOME famous Beatniks include:
Remember, Beatniks do it BETTER! If they ask what "it" is, tell them EVERYTHING!
I hope to see you soon! Even if you aren't a Beatnik, stop by my Hep Cat Chill Spot and HOLLA!!!
Remember Hep Cats and Squares...
All are welcomed to join!
Keep it Funky!
The Mistress of Funk
P.S. Beatniks do it Better!
P.S.S. I like to randomly prop Beatniks so if you receive a prop from me, you'll know why!
P.S.S.S. ALL of my urbo pods are for 1 urbo, so if you see something you like drop an urbo in the tip jar and enjoy your pod! *smiles*

Why Is Confirmation Important
Why is Confirmation so important to the Catholic church?
- print Print
- list Cite
The main reason for the importance of Confirmation in the modern Roman Catholic Church has to do with the practice of infant baptism. The earliest Christians were adult converts who were baptized as adults. In antiquity, it was common for people to hold off on baptism until they were close to death, due to the the heinousness of post-baptismal sin. However, medieval theologians believed that infants who died before being baptized would end up in Limbo and that people who died after the death of Jesus without having been baptized could not go to Heaven. This made parents, anxious about the salvation of their children in a period of high infant mortality, begin to baptize children as infants, a tradition strengthened by baptismal records starting to serve as proof of domicile, citizenship, etc. absent the later development of civil bureaucracy.
Infant baptism, however, cannot involve an actual affirmation by the infant of Christianity. Thus Confirmation, although not portrayed as a Sacrament in the Bible, developed as a way for those baptized as infants, once they reached maturity, to affirm those things sworn on their behalf when they were initially baptized. Among Christians, therefore, the practice of infant, but not adult, baptism is associated with confirmation.
Confirmation in the Christian Church is the sacrament which reaffirms a person's status as a Catholic or a Protestant. The Catholic Church sees the confirmation as a rite in which grace falls over the person as they announce their commitment to God and the Church. Protestants view confirmation differently: it is more of a rite of passage, as a person who has already been baptized states their devotion to the church when they are around thirteen or fourteen. Confirmation is the second rite of Sacrament, it is the culmination of what began at a person's baptism. It is intended to show a person taking responsibility for what they believe in and professing it to the church, friends and family.
All the sacraments are important to the Catholic Church because in each of them the Holy Spirit is present and give many graces to the person who receives it and strengths his/her faith and his/her relationship with God; one of the particularities of the sacraments is that has to be the person who ask for it, except the baptism, which is requested by the parents since is received an a very early age in life, so for this reason, the Confirmation is very important because now, is the grown up person, who asks for the sacrament and -as its name says- confirms his/her faith in God, in Jesus Christ and in the Catholic Church (that the parents first ask) for and make a renunciation of evil.
Confirmation is so important in the Catholic Church because teenager/adults receive the Holy Spirit and become "soldiers of Christ" as full members of the Church.
Confirmation indeed can be seriously taken into consideration as an important thing because it is one of the seven (7) sacraments that help an individual live a christian life. furthermore it is important because when one has received that sacrament he or she will be strengthened in his or her spiritual life.

text: so i want to say i really appreciate all of your support, ideas, thoughts, advice on my easy child as of late. So, I think to some extent it is "typical teenage" behavior yet on another level there is such a thing as crossing the line. Each line is draw different I think for each parent. We all have our rules in place, yes with our difficult child's we have to tweek and change and use various approachs. Yet our easy child's we can go with our "standard" way of parenting, whatever that is for each of us i think. So, my daughter def crossed the line. She knows the rules, was reminded that night of the rules repeatedly. Her behaviors obviously have worsened since 7th grade. It is a natural downhill slide as far as I see it. Had it been one random act suddenly I wouldn't be so upset, yet it's been a natural progression for her. I cannot afford boarding school, if i could she'd be going. Not because she chose to have a boy here and do things with him (i soo dont' want to get into what those things were again.....yuck) against our rules that she is to have no one in our home when we are not here. It is because she lied, manipulated for days prior, has lied, stolen in the past, manipulated and played me like a violin. She really has. So, i'm looking into a few different things as far as making her donate her time to either local nursing homes once a week, or schools for special needs children. I"m also removing everything from her room except her bed and clothes, enrolling her in a teenage therapy group (i'm currently searching for one), and hiring a sitter for her. so that i'm not in lock down mode on the days i need to go out and difficult child is either not here or with me. We are going to sit down with-both her and the boyfriend and basically threaten their lives to be honest. Inform them they are not to be alone together only when I am home can he come over. Those are just a few to start with. I took some ideas from the posts that everyone jumped on and thanks for the ideas. That's just the basic's of it for now. The way I see it I've let her manipulate me long enough, this was a wake up call. So, it's a good thing..... yup lemon into lemonade thing lol. anyway if i've missed anything, please fill me in
