This rod was built for both a shop in Montana and for myself to see if i could come up with a viable product. We have all seen the fly/spin combo before and the Daiwa executive being the old standard. The problem before was that all though they were good spinning rods they were lousy fly rods. In one of my Rodmaker magazines Tom talked about how to make a "good" combo rod. I used that info and came up with this rod. It casts a 4wt line very decently(40-50' no problem or weird casting stroke) and spin cast a lure 0f 1/16 oz-3/8 oz with ease. I used a thin wall aluminum tube to mount the handle/reel seat on and ferruled both ends. I then cut off the length of the handle on the butt section of the blank and male ferruled it. For the guide placement i used the 27x system for a 1000 series spinning reel. Blank-Tiger eye-7'6" 3/4 wt reel seat- Fuji 16 mm DPS guides- Flexlites Grip- CF wells when fly fished and straight whe spin set up Not the best photo
That's a nice looking combo rod. I used to take Rodmaker magazine and it has always had great articles, plus Tom Kirkman's Rod Building Guide published by Frank Amato covers everything you need to know about rodbuilding. Not sure if it's still available but it should be in every ones library. Just checked, still available from Amazon for bargain price of approx. $9.50.
I used a Fuji Graphite 16mm spin seat for a couple of reasons: 1. Most fly reels will fit spinning seats but not vice versa 2.I was trying to keep both cost and weight down 3.If a customer would want it with a fancier seat I would do that, this was mostly to see if the concept would work to make a combo rod that would actually cast a fly decently not just be a good spinning rod.
Does it slide together like a typical ferrule or does it lock in? I'd be concerned about the seat and handle sections coming undone when used as a spinning rod. Great concept though! Most spinner guys use graphite seats instead of metal to save weight, metal is not necessary.
It is just a straight ferrule and is a press fit. I fished it for 3hrs on Saturday as spinning rod and caught several fish with one nice rainbow about 18". I had no problem with the ferrule so far and really do not see any in the future. As a spinning rod it will cast a 1/16 oz rooster tail nicely and 1/4 oz. bangtail a mile. It is also very sensitive. I have a surgeons not at about 40' of line and when I would reel it in I could feel every time it ticked across one of those flexlite guides. It was pretty windy, so I did not get to try out the fly part(4wt.) on the water but in the yard casting 50' is not a problem and quite pleasurable to cast. I am more than satisfied on how it works. I am going to take it to Montana to show the shop owner this week end and hopefully generate a few builds. I already have a couple people who horse pack interested in getting ones built.

The mountain regions of Mexico and Guatemala are the birthplace of today's dahlias where they have been grown and used for countless generations from the time they were first cultivated by the ancient Aztecs who ruled this region. During the 16th century the Spanish conquistadors arrived on the scene. In addition to conquering the Aztecs they also brought with them botanists, whose job it was to bring back plants from the New World for Spain.
These botanists discovered what we today call the Tree Dahlia, whose flowers are open centered single blooms. The Tree Dahlia (D. imperialis) has stems that are hollow and can grow to 20 feet or more. Often used for hauling water or as an actual source of water to Aztec hunters, the Aztec name for the dahlia was "Acocotli" or water-cane.
Over time, Dahlia seeds and tubers were distributed throughout Western Europe from stock grown at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Madrid, Spain. In the beginning dahlias were grown for their tubers, which were used as food similar to the potato, but this never quite caught on.
By the beginning of the 18th century, as hybridization work continued, the first fully double forms began to make their appearance, as did many new color combinations. In 1872 a crate of dahlia tubers was sent from Mexico to Holland, however upon arrival it was discovered that only one tuber had survived the long Atlantic crossing.
This lone tuber of a new variety (D. juarezii) produced a bright red bloom with petals that were rolled back and pointed. Interest in the dahlia by plant breeders was renewed at once and the successful combination of this new variety with earlier varieties served as the parent stock for the current multitude of dahlias variations.
Today, the Dahlia family is a large and varied genus comprised of about 20 different species, with numerous cultivars and varieties, all natives of Mexico and Central America. The family takes its name from Swedish botanist Dr. Anders Dahl.
After 200 years of culture, selective breeding, and hybridizing, today's dahlia has one of the largest arrays of forms, colors, and sizes of any flower grown. In this past century alone nearly 50,000 named dahlia varieties have been developed, listed and registered in more than 570 individual classes!
More Dahlia hybridizers are active now than at any other time in history, which means a rapid addition of new forms, sizes and color combinations each year. That's just part of the reason growing dahlias is such an active and dynamic hobby.
The dahlia also has one of the longest bloom seasons of any garden flower, which means you will be enjoying gorgeous blooms long after your friends and neighbor's flower gardens have ended for the season. Dahlias also last a very long time as cut flowers, making them a great choice for arrangements and bouquets.
The first Dahlia Society in San Francisco was founded in 1917 and on October 4th, 1926, the Dahlia was selected as the Official Flower of the City of San Francisco, California!

This is a cherry Jewelry Box I made for my wife. our 5th anniversary was in July (5th is supposed to be something wood), so I got her a large cherry board from a barn…7 months later, I finished this box, just in time for valentine's day.
The box is all cherry except for the bottoms of the drawers, bottom of the box, and bottom of the top section, which are 1/4 oak plywood. The drawers and dividers are the exact same wood as the outside, which shows you the difference 3 coats of poly will give you (no stain).
Corners are mitered, including the drawers…That was the look my wife wanted. I didn't reinforce the miters except for the 2 pieces of plywood that were glued into routed grooves in the assembly…I thought that would be enough.
The Drawers are hand-cut dovetails, then routed grooves, then glued-on drawer fronts. (the top knob is decorative only…there are only 2 drawers)
My wife plans to sew a little elastic pouch on the bottom inside of the lid to catch the bottoms of necklaces that hang from those hooks.
-- I'm strictly hand-tool only...unless the power tool is faster and easier!

Nope. Not medicine. Health. (I know at least one DFer who'd be very uncomfortable if we exchanged medical advice.) But ... what kinds of things do you do on a day to day basis to stay healthy without intervention from western medicine? Here are some things my friends recommended to me. 1) Taking apple cider vinegar every day 2) Taking low dose aspirin 3) Taking garlic supplements 4) Cutting back on or eliminating caffeine 5) Getting rid of any artificial sweeteners and using Stevia instead, but only as needed 6) Staying better hydrated 7) Taking more breaks and walking outside every day 8.) Praying and meditating 9) Taking fish oil Good ideas? Bad ideas? Have you tried any of these? What were your results? Have you tried anything else? What sorts of alternative therapies do you use? Massage? Aromatherapy? Rolfing? Smoothies? Dietary supplements? Transcendental meditation? Lots of other stuff? Bottom line. What do you do to get or stay healthy without having to visit an MD?
Taking low dose aspirin IS prescribed by doctors. Whether you should take without doctors say so is a heather issue. Some of the other things maybe recommended by some doctors and not be others like TM.
my advice: use only raw apple cider vinegar for this, not cooked. as with most things cooked vs. raw (OJ, for example), the pasteurized version is acidifying in the system, and unpasteurized is alkalizing. you want the alkalizing effect. as for the rest, i do so many different things for different purposes, have been into holistic health most of my adult life, and have been able to resolve some serious illnesses and chronic conditions through this approach. i can be a bit far out in this regard - i suspect you are looking for more mainstream-ish answers to your question.
Not necessarily. I'm willing to entertain (even if not necessarily adopt) all ideas. Ha! I remember my introduction to raw ... uh ... stuff 15-ish years ago. A friend invited her raw/vegan friend to come in and talk about nutrition. I was 100% with her when she said that, in many cases, buying vitamin supplements is just paying for expensive pee, but, when she suggested eating "live" algae, I was like :shock: uhhh .... NO! Now I'm fully on board with both ideas. It took a while, but I'm there. Hey. Come one; come all. Ya never know. A seed of an idea today may bear fruit one day, way down the line. Of course, share only what you're comfortable sharing. (I mean any/everyone, not just sami )
Hear ya, mj. The active ingredient in aspirin has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years, although it was probably just called willow tree bark, back in the day. It was just another home remedy until some smart westerner decided to monetize it. I'm sure someone would monetize honey and lemon as medicines, if they could get people to pay for it. :wink: As it so happens, I am on low-dose aspirin therapy as recommended by my cardiologist, but ... I wouldn't necessarily wait for a doctor to tell me it's okay to take aspirin. Not suggesting anybody else should have my view, btw. :wink: Which brings me to ginger and red pepper, both of which are used as remedies, in more than a couple cultures I know of. Any thoughts on either, as a day-to-day part of the diet?
Cough drops are a mass-produced consumer good, available over the counter at just about every drug store.
i take cayenne almost daily -- it is a circulatory system adaptogen, great for anybody, IMO mandatory for anyone with heart problems. usually what i do is make a "soft drink" with a variety of ingredients, including the cayenne (plus turmeric, raw apple cide vinegar, nascent iodine, MSM crystals, and raw honey or royal jelly, and bentonite clay and zeolites if i have them handy). i commonly make a bottle and take to work to sip all day. i also love warm teas with cayenne, dark hot chocolate (made with raw cacao or melted dark chocolate) with cayenne, and I put both cayenne and fresh hot peppers in my Live Green Smoothies and raw cocktails. *love* cayenne. as for ginger...for health purposes (and again, especially for anyone with heart challenges) i prefer galangal. i use to make teas, as a base for smoothies, or in a kind of "soft drink" similar to above. i had been intrigued to hear that galangal was regarded by the mystic & herbalist Hildegaard von Bingen as "the spice of life", and how good she believed it was for the heart. i tried a few varieties and found that one of them gave an extremely strong sensation of well-being and opening of the heart. was very impressed. but the variety in my cabinet right now is not as strong -- need to order more of the good stuff. galangal is the flavoring used in the thai "tom ka gai" soup (it is the "ka") and it is a root that looks similar to ginger, but you can also buy it in dried form.
Yes knew aspirin, And honey and lemon is called cough drops LOL. Actually Im something of a herpetologist Many herb in fact work and doctors know that, there are several issue though, standardization, dosage, interactions and side effects. example, camomile tea, my wife take many drugs, if she drinks the tea she'll fall asleep; so fast and solidly she did it driving in the early afternoon. work: Red pepper: works externally for certain pain relief. willow bark, aspirin, work as you know not cost effect! saw palmetto, work to reduce prostrate swelling, doctors dislike because can mask cancer camomile Saint John's wort works for depression to a slight degree works these are from my personal experience, know about many other. Cost effectiveness is a issue.
Thanks! I'll look into galangal. Never heard of it, but I will find out. My perspective is that it really comes down to a moment of decision. Am I going to live with the waiting to get sick and then medicate mindset? Or am I going to live with the getting/staying healthy mindset? Not by any means suggesting that one shouldn't medicate if sick, but what if one could live in a way that minimizes the probability of sickness in the first place? I've been thinking a lot. The other decision I'm facing is just how raw to go. Pretty much everything folks have suggested to me can be bought in a mass produced pill from some company or the other. Probably better than nothing, but not exactly what I envisioned when I decided to look into holistic approaches to health. Lining up 27 supplement bottles and popping pills before work in the morning is probably better than nothing, but not exactly my goal. The pills can be some unpronounceable man-made chemical compound or dehydrated greens in soft gels. Dehydrated greens is probably better, but ... Not sure that makes sense, but that's kinda where I am right now.
fwiw, am not anti pills, but minimal pills. pills are rarely a substitute for raw ingredients as they exist in nature. cough drops aren't remotely the same thing as raw honey and fresh lemon juice. just as fresh greens aren't remotely the same thing as a blood thinner that contra-indicates taking fresh greens. (that one makes my head spin -- i hear it all the time. if you need to thin your blood and Live Green Smoothies will do that for you, and give you a host of other benefits, including correcting the health imbalance you are currently struggling with, then...why exactly aren't you taking that instead of a pill that requires you to stay off of the most life-enhancing food on the planet? no comprendo...)
I'll have to read the label on some cough drops, the next time I'm at CVS. Not sure why, but I assumed that cough drops, these days, contained artificial stuff, not the real thing. My bad. I'll look. Re: cost effectiveness. Hmm. Depending on what you're looking for, you may be able to find some bargains at Pilgrim's Pride. Buy one get two free, right now, on a lot of their stuff. They sell lots of vitamins and supplements, and have a ton more certified organic products than they used to.
Yep. My Mom is taking a blood thinner and has not been allowed collard greens or cabbage for years. Seriously!?!? Blows my mind. "Take this chemical and oh, by the way, don't eat the healthful greens that you've eaten all your life." Mind boggling.
I agree with that, as far as it goes. I would add: Moreover, claims as to the precise effects of supplements circulate in an ad-hoc and unregulated fashion. Furthermore, there are often quality concerns with the purity of commercially-available supplements.
my mom, too, P. yes, it does fairly boggle the mind. what i've observed is that these issues surprisingly come down to a person's concept of "authority" -- does someone live by the authority of external "experts", or does one trust one's own inner authority to guide one's path toward what is genuinely best for one's personal situation. taking that leap is huge-huge-huge, huger-than huge. someone who has not done that in her life in other areas is not likely to do it when she is frightened by a health challenge. fear causes you to cling to the security of what you know, and isn't a good terrain for reaching for the unknown. but...there are those few who reach a point of desperation that it drives them to reach beyond the unknown to "whatever will work, i don't care", and they often have huge paradigm shifts and become willing to try what they would have previously considered "radical".
I'm not saying they're the same thing. You said you thought someone would eventually try to sell honey+lemon as a medication, and I'm saying that you can see packages in drug stores with pictures of honey+lemon on the label; i.e. it's already been done and that's how. Well, and when I was in a drug store and had a cough, I saw some such cough drops and bought them because they were just *that* convenient, cheap, and hey, they worked, too. Not as nice as real honey+lemon, but they fit in my pocket all day with far less mess.
couldn't disagree more. and i find the path that this argument points toward to be a dangerous one. it leads to the FDA governing the use of natural supplements and herbs, and even food, which they are beginning to do now. utterly unacceptable. it will further & rapidly destroy food and health freedoms. professionally, i work in an FDA-regulated industry, and the majority of my life energy (no hyperbole here, though it is ironic) goes toward protecting and ensuring the safety of those who choose to use FDA-regulated pharmaceuticals. but let the FDA keep to pharma and protecting those who want to turn to pills for their medicine. natural remedies and natural foods should remain utterly out of their jurisdiction.
Yeah. I think that, sometimes, it comes down to a balance, as well. When my Dad had cancer (undetectable antigen levels for 13 years, thank God,) he did both. He rejected the idea of chemo (against his doctors' recommendations,) went with localized radiation, and juiced like his life depended on it. He still juices to this day. Who knows which part of his regimen did the actual healing? Maybe it was just his, "I'm not planning to die yet," mindset. That's why, in the first post, I deliberately asked about the mental/spiritual. Health is health, and involves the whole you, not just the physical you. My thoughts only.

How to make it look natural
September 15, 2012
excellent product. I shower at night so no problem with pillow stains. I put in on in the morning and use a hair dryer to speed things up. Then I use hair building fibers on top of the base I created with dermmatch. The fibers gives you a much nicer fuller appearance. Either one seperately is not nearly as nice looking as putting the two of them together. (I use focus cause it's cheaper then most of the other ones and they are all the same). I finish with hair spray cause othersise your hair is dull looking. When i'm finished my hair is full and shinny looking, look very real. At night before bed I shower and it all wahses out. The next morning I start all over again with my routine. DermMatch, Dryer, Hair building fibers, and hair spray. It does take a little while to do all of this but worth it
works excellent, makes you look like you have a full head of hair. It seems to stick to your hair and it's like each hair is 3 times thicker. While it's on and my hair is wet, I comb in so it gets on all my hair. It makes them all feel thicker.Cons:

Best concealer product!! Works great for women.
October 7, 2011
This is the best concealer product I have ever used, and I have tried them all. It fills in my extremely thinning hair enough that I can live a normal life without having to constantly feel self conscious about my hair loss when I am out in public. Easy to apply, and lasts well between shampoos. One disc can last up to a year, depending on how much area you need to cover. It can sometimes rub off a little bit on the pillowcase at night, especially if you are a toss and turn type of sleeper, but that is about the only issue with this product, and can easily be worked around. I will never be without this product again, it is a lifesaver!

We were talking our son back to University and just wanted a place to stay for a couple of nights before returning.
This hotel exceeded our expectations. Wonderful views over the golf course, very central for the town and the room was very comfortable. The food was stunning. We only ate in the one under bar but it was some of the best bar food I have ever had. Will definitely try and book in here again next time my son persuades us to drive him back to uni

I like ones that do not deplete the checkbook and work well so I buy from astro tools. 80 grit for prep. brands dunno for sure but I have been using Indasa papers..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work.. |
Your going to get lots of opinions on what is best. It really all comes down to what you want to pay. With this sort of thing, you get what you pay for when it comes to sanders. Hutchins is top notch if you are willing to dish out the cash. But I've been using a farm hand brand from Tractor Supply for years now with great results. (for 80 grit only). I seldom use the da after my first coat of primer unless the customer is wanting "cheap work". You will find that hand sanding with various shapes/sizes of blocks will always give better results.
I found a snap on palm da that I use with a soft backing pad (A MUST FOR CLEAR COAT CUTTING) and it has worked fine for me. Although I've used many other brands that gave the same results but only lasted a year or two. (Harbor Freight comes to mind). As far as paper goes.. I stick with 3m, Summit Racings shop brand (cheap), or whatever I have on hand. It doesn't really matter what brand until you get to the clear cutting and buffing imo. also... don't expect to use a da on the entire car for cutting your clear. There WILL be lots of hand sanding that will require the use of different blocks also. You may have known all of that, but I thought I'd tell you just in case. The most important thing about prepping a car before you paint is the use of guide coat. If you have never used it, or would like to know how, just ask. Lots of guys on here (including me) would be glad to give you some pointers. Hope I've helped |
Norton makes best sandpaper period. It outlasts any other sandpaper I've used. Of course it's priced accordingly
So which 2 Hutchins or Astrotools or whatever sanders should I get, I kinda get confused looking at them all. And for sand paper I guess Norton Champagne is the way to go, but they don't have sand paper for over 1500 grit, which I would probably start with then I was hoping for a 2000 and 3000. I've seen youtube videos where people even put a weird foam 4000 grit on the DA to finish off.
The Best sander for cutting clear is your hand , a soft block, a rubber squeegie and water...Giving a newbie a sander for clear is a sure fire way to screw everything up and they are only for production anyways...
As far as the paper goes in the finer grits 1000 -2000 a newbie wont notice any difference between them you'll need about twenty sheets or so. Hutchins will always be the best sander on the planet at around 350.00 but IR has one thats also extremly good for half that price. I gotta admit I rarely use my hutch any more because the IR wieghs so much less and works so well but the pad is also very important the IR needs a better pad for finish work and as far as I know they both only come with pads that use sticky paper ,velcro pads and paper are the best ... For sand paper I really prefer Fandelli for all grits...made in Mexico Just my own personal opinions |
I like the Dynabrade brand in finishing DA sanders they seem so smooth and quiet and don't use a lot of air.
I agree so much with DBM when it comes to hand sanding though, One could get the best overall results starting with 80gr on a block to knock old paint off (saving prior filler work sometimes) all the way to 2000gr to perfect the final coat of clear when it gets there.. Was just talking about sand paper in this tube yesterday http://www.youtube.com/user/Milogara.../1/h3TO_Nwb5Lk |
Okay so that really makes me think that the Dynabrade 69010 and the Dynabrade 69040 are the way to go. But what papers should I get? I'd prefer Velcro ones for the DA and I'd want an 80, 180, 240, 320, 400, 600, 1000, 1500, and some grits above that. As well as some sand papers for hand sanding in 400, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000/ 2500.

I learned a significant amount during my doctoral studies related to being an entrepreneur and an executive of a growing small business. Since I started my third company in my early 30s while I was pursuing my doctorate, I was able to get feedback in my classes as I established my small business that is quite successful today.

One of the great benefits of the [Doctor of Management] program is the tight connections that we make as a network of adult learners. And we get particularly close to our dissertation advisors. So to share that moment with them and to have them hood us and be able to share it with my family who supported me is a wonderful thing.

Information and forms for the Senior Citizens Property Tax Deferral program are available from the office of Iroquois County Treasurer, Mindy Kuntz Hagan, according to an announcement made by the Treasurer's Office.
The program allows qualified senior citizens to defer all or part of their 2013 property taxes up to $5,000 on their personal residence. Applications must be filed with the Treasurer's office by March 1, 2014 in order to defer 2013 taxes billed in 2014.
To qualify, a person must be 65 or over by June 1, 2014, have a total household income of $55,000 or less, and have lived in the property for at least three years. In addition, there must be no delinquent taxes on the property.
Qualified taxpayers can defer taxes totaling up to 80 percent of the equity interest they have in the home. The program sets up a form of a loan with a six percent interest rate which doesn't become due until the taxpayer sells the property or until after the taxpayer's death.
To apply for the program, the person has to file two forms with the County Treasurer's office. The first form (IL1017 TD) asks for basic information on the taxpayer, their income and their property. It also requires that joint owners agree to the tax deferral. In addition, it requires that evidence be presented of adequate insurance on the property.
The second form (IL1018 TD) is the agreement for the tax deferral. It sets out the conditions of the deferral, including the amount which can be deferred, the interest rate and the arrangements for paying back the "loan".

Klingons? Edit
I don't recall the Klingons attempting to develop an interphasic cloaking device. Can somebody provide a reference? — THOR 13:38, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- In "The Next Phase", Geordi told Laren that a few years prior to 2368, Starfleet Intelligence provided reports that the Klingons were working on combining a molecular phase inverter with a cloaking device. It was the scene when they went back on board the Romulan Scout Ship via the shuttle piloted by Data and Worf.--Scimitar 21:19, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What I Need To Make Before December 25
I didn't make this. But I will must should will try to might!
Saw it last year when it was too late to sew it. Kicked myself. Vowed I would make it for 2009. Remembered it today and thought I'd share it in case anyone else wants to take it on. We have 3 months if we start now. Yesterday the weather turned and finally felt fall-like. And I realize I love autumn. And I'm not mourning the end of summer anymore. And I got a bit excited about the prospect of Halloween and cider and soups and homemade bread and generally better food than the pizza delivery usual stuff that we have been eating all summer. And Christmas, of course. For all the real reasons as well as the decorative ones.
8 comments:
Oh it's so good to know all you other folks have lists, too. Mine is full of foolish, self-imposed deadlines on self-imposed projects. Including the middle child's birthday just after Halloween, which necessitates both costumes for Halloween and handmade gifts for the birthday, and a party. I'll be burnt out by Thanksgiving! No turkey garlands for me.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable, and we could definitely use some cute Christmas decorations at our house.
I love autumn too, but I do wish I could convince Emma to leave the house without a protest on cold days. She is a "go outside when it is exactly 72 degrees and not raining so I can wear my t-shirt and shorts and not be cold" kind of girl...

I think I've probably mentioned that I come from a big family. And by big I mean HUGE. Last week the girls, my mom and I spent Spring Break in Orlando. While we were there I got the chance to visit with my mom's family. I love spending time with my family and don't get a chance to do it often enough!
To give you some perspective, my mom is the oldest of 14. What this means for me is that I have roughly 30 something cousins (no, I do not know the exact count). Some of my cousins are actually younger than my own kids. At one point Baby Girl asked me just how many cousins I had since she'd been playing for hours with some kids she thought were my nieces and nephews (obviously they weren't but she's used to kids her age being related that way...). I told her the number to which she stared at me with disbelief. I then asked her how many cousins she had. The look on her face as she slowly said four was pretty dang funny.
My family is loud, fun and amazing. We only got one day with everyone and it wasn't nearly enough. I stayed up way later than I should have considering I drove 12 hours home the next day, but it was so worth it. Getting down for visits is hard to fit into our crazy schedule but when we do I'm also reluctant to leave.
I want to say thanks to my grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins for coming to see us. I try not to name names for people that haven't given me permission, but you guys know who you are. And a special thanks to one of my cousins who was gracious enough to share her birthday party with us since we crashed into town at the last minute.
Love you guys!

Cherish those moments with your cousins. I am the oldest of 14 cousins (and one brother) in my mother's family and now there are only 8 cousins (and one brother) still living. Our annual family reunion will be in August and I am looking forward to it.

Sounds like so much fun!!! That's kinda how it is when my mom's family gets together - all laughter and talking and eating. And the hubby's family too.

TEXAS WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY. Texas Woman's University was founded as a result of lobbying efforts for a state-supported women's college led by the Grange and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, with the support of the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs and the Texas Woman's Press Association. Throughout the 1890s these organizations pressed for the establishment of a college where young women could receive a practical education, including training in the domestic skills that they would later need as wives and mothers. Enabling legislation was repeatedly defeated. Not until 1901, when the Democratic party adopted the idea as a platform plank, did the legislature authorize the founding of a college to combine the traditional literary education with instruction in the domestic sciences, child care, and practical nursing. A commission appointed by Governor Joseph D. Sayers selected Denton as the site of the new school in 1902. The institution began classes in 1903 as Girls' Industrial College, with an enrollment of 186 students and a faculty of fourteen. Helen M. Stoddard, Mary Eleanor Brackenridge, and Eliza S. R. Johnson were members of the original board of regents, the first women to sit on the governing board of a Texas university. After 1927 legislative mandate required that four of the nine regents be women. The name of the institution was changed to College of Industrial Arts in 1905, to Texas State College for Women in 1934, and to Texas Woman's University in 1957.
In the initial years of its existence TWU was essentially a junior college for rural and small-town girls seeking vocational training. Since many came from areas without high school facilities, the first two years of the curriculum were preparatory; high school graduates went directly to the junior class. The first dormitory was opened in 1907, and a second classroom building was authorized in 1911. Although inadequate funding for dormitory construction kept enrollment below 2,000 until the end of World War I, the curriculum evolved and expanded. In 1914 President Francis M. Bralley initiated the four-year, college-level curriculum, and the first B.S. degrees were awarded the following year. The State Department of Education recognized the insititution as a college of the first class in 1916, and by 1923 the liberal arts curriculum had been expanded sufficiently to qualify the college for membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The institution was accredited by the American Association of University Women in 1925 and was placed on the approved list of the Association of American Universities in 1929. A home extension program was set up in 1911, and that same year the college held its first summer normal school. Texas Woman's University was the first educational institution in the state to offer instruction in home economics; graduates of its teacher-training program formed an overwhelming majority of the state's secondary teachers of home economics. A degree program in home demonstration, established in 1922, was the only one in the Southwest, and by the mid-1930s graduates of the university constituted one-third of the home demonstration personnel in Texas. The university granted its first master's degrees in 1930.
Although the Great Depression temporarily caused a sharp drop in enrollment, President Louis H. Hubbard took advantage of federal funds available through the Work Projects Administration and the Public Works Administration to launch an extensive building program that doubled instructional space and increased the value of the physical plant by one-half. A campus landmark, the Little-Chapel-in-the-Woods, was also a project of the depression. National Youth Administration recruits constructed the building, which was designed by a Dallas firm, and students in the art department designed and produced the stained-glass windows, which illustrate the theme "Woman Ministering to Human Needs." The statue of the Pioneer Woman, another landmark, was executed by Leo Friedlander and given by the state in 1938 to commemorate the Texas Centennial. In 1941 TWU became a member of the Southern University Conference. John A. Guinn, president from 1950 to 1976, oversaw a second major period of physical expansion. During this time the university also began to build a national reputation as a center for research in textiles, food, and nutrition under the direction of Pauline Beery Mackqv, dean of the College of Household Arts and Sciences and director of the Research Institute. Ph.D. degrees were awarded for the first time in 1953. In 1960 Texas Woman's University became a member of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, and in the 1960s it received a series of research grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to study the physiological effects of space flight on astronauts.
Male students were admitted for the first time in 1972. Enrollment stood at 8,483 in 1983, and faculty members numbered 648. In 1984 the physical plant consisted of sixty-seven buildings. In addition to a 270-acre campus in Denton, centers in Dallas and Houston provide instruction in the health sciences and related areas. The Institute of Health Sciences at Dallas has two campuses: the Inwood-Parkland Campus near Parkland and St. Paul hospitals and the Presbyterian Hospital Campus on Walnut Hill Road. The Institute of Health Sciences at Houston is in the heart of the Texas Medical Center. Construction on a new library for the Denton campus was completed in 1985. The Denton campus also operates the Southwest Institute of Design, a program cooperatively conducted by the university and the fashion industry. In 2000 library holdings included more than 559,000 volumes and more than 8,000 periodicals. The library also housed the Woman's Collectionqv, which includes more than 39,000 books, as well as major microform collections. In 1979 the legislature authorized the establishment of a Collection of the History of Texas Women at TWU. The collection includes the gowns of the first ladies of Texas, given to TWU by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and Texas Women: A Celebration of History, an exhibit and archives developed by the Foundation for Women's Resources in 1981. In the fall of 1991 total enrollment of TWU stood at 9,412. Undergraduates made up 57 percent and female enrollment 93 percent. About 50 percent of the students were enrolled in the health sciences. The faculty in 1991 numbered 500. The presidents of Texas Woman's University have been Cree T. Work (1903–10), William Bennett Bizzell (1910–14),qv Francis Marion Bralley (1914–24), Lindsey Blayney (1925–26), Louis Herman Hubbard (1926–50),qv and John A. Guinn (1950–76). Mary Evelyn Blagg Huey, an alumna of TWU, became the seventh president and the first woman president of the university in 1976. In 1986 she was succeeded by Shirley Chater. Ann Stuart became president and chancellor in 1999. Enrollment in the fall of 2000 was 8,404, with a faculty of 762. Nursing was the largest undergraduate major, with 1,072 students.

Lan Pan-Asian Cafe Restaurant Review: We didn't expect any restaurant located on the ground floor of Dadeland Station to be this good, but Lan Pan-Asian Café is an unexpected sleeper. We recommend the sushi and spinach-and-chive dumplings or, perhaps, the baby-back ribs spiked and glazed with peppery barbecue sauce, a Korean soup with pork and napa cabbage, beef seared tataki-style and Thai shrimp and green papaya salad. Innovative desserts include spring rolls stuffed with pumpkin and apples. Extremely minimalist, if not austere, surroundings detract only slightly from a memorable dining experience. |

Well... I say 'bail out' but I'll more than likely keep up with the storyline in one form or another (via the 'Walking Dead Wiki' I think). I just can't see myself making that mad dash for the latest trade collection like I have done in the past. It's a shame as I've been following the series for years now, ever since I moved to London, but everything comes to an end eventually (just a little bit sooner than it was meant to for me).
I'll do my utmost to avoid spoilers (as always) but read on with a little caution if you haven't picked up #100 just yet...
What always attracted me to this series was that it was a story first and foremost, a really in-depth and no holds barred look at how real people would deal with a zombie apocalypse. This approach has seen some really brutal moments but that's what this kind of situation is all about, people trying to survive no matter the cost.
Issue 100 though... That was all about a series milestone being reached. Fair enough but when you take that approach then you've got to do something noteworthy to mark it. [SPOILER ALERT!] This time round, a fairly major character is bludgeoned to death by a guy wielding a baseball bat covered in barbed wire. One of the most vicious and gut wrenching scenes I've seen in this series.[YOU CAN LOOK NOW]
It wasn't done for the story though, it was a moment that marked a hundred issues of an incredibly successful series of comic books and that was what killed it for me. Kirkman has always shown real respect for his cast, putting them through hell but a hell that meant something in terms of plot. That respect wasn't there this time round and a character's death lost significance because of that (they meant something but their death didn't, not to me)
We all know that I can't stay away from zombies, not for long, and I do want to know how it will all end. Like I said though, you won't see me running out for the trades anymore and that's a real shame.

The Other Bag
I just can't resist taking a photo of this bag in the window of a neighborhood boutique called SAADA on the Upper Eastside. Saada means happiness in Arabic, and packed as it is with pretty, girlish dresses and accessories, it seems this shop is aptly named. Here you can find the dark-denim True Religion jeans and other brands like Mackage. The boutique is located at 1159 Second Ave., New York, NY 10021 at 61st St.

In the picture, I am wearing an ancient black aqua lung wet suit that I borrowed from one of my friends; he is wearing a more modern blue wet suit. We're standing on a dock on an island in Canada. My hair is sticking up, and it looks even more red than usual in the sunlight.
I look pretty wacky.
The wetsuit once belonged my friend's grandfather, who used it to gather abalone from the coast of California, back when one could find abalone off the coast of California (allegedly one still can, but certainly not near populated areas). It floats like a cork.

In my last post I mentioned my mom and my sister. I am so blessed to have them in my life and eventhough we live thousands of miles away from each other we talk on the phone all the time.
We have a lot in common and there are many differences too. We all love to read and cook (and eat!). My mom is an excellent cook, she likes to travel and LOVES to read. My sister plays guiter and drums and she is good at wood working, and you already know that I love sewing and quilting.
A few years ago, my mom and my sister started making jewely from beads. My mom started first, then my sister, they both make beautiful pieces. Eventually, my sister started taking classes for stitched beads jewely (I am not sure exactly what to call them.) Now, she makes and sells them and also teaches classes.
I will share some of the bead jewelries they sent to me for my birthday and other special occasions.
A ring and earrings, the earrings are one of my favorites! I wear them all the time, the color combination goes with a lot of my outfits.
This is another one that my mom made, I love the light pink and pearl combinations.
This lariat was made by my sister. At first I thought it would be difficult to find clothes to go with it because it is a very unique piece, but surprisingly, it goes with many of the tops that I have.
The last one is also made by my sister. I LOVE the color combinations! I don't know how long it took her to make this but it looks so complicated.
Aren't they amazing? This is just on of the many reasons why I love them.
I wish they lived close to me so that they could teach my how to do these. If I get tired of it, I can just ask them to finish it up for me... (hey, its allowed we are family, right?). I am making a Christmas package for my sister's family and one of her present is a Beadwork magazine I bought for her with some sticky notes of the things I want her to make for me attached. He He He... I can almost picture her shaking her head with a grin on her face.

Ed Clark, TD Bank CEO: Full Text Of Speech At Ivey Business Leaders Award Dinner
Good evening.
I'm delighted so many people have taken time out of their evening to be here -- especially on a night of gale forces and hard rain.
I also want to express my gratitude to Ivey for this incredible award. It"s a true honour to be acknowledged by such an important institution.
Our bank has a long history with the University of Western Ontario and the Richard Ivey School of Business. Many of our top executives have been educated there.
Today we work closely with Ivey -- in what we consider a vital program for our executive team -- teaching them strategy but, more importantly, the culture and values' system that drives so much of our success.
Tonight I'd like to talk about leadership in today's world and, in particular, the role citizens can play in creating the leadership that we will need.
I'm going to highlight the following themes.
A number of economic forces -- in both the immediate and long-term -- are changing the world as we know it.
Long-term demographic forces are causing demands for government services to grow faster than revenues.
Globalization has produced massive increases in income around the world but its benefits have been unevenly distributed.
Today's slow growth economy is accentuating economic and social disparities, as well as exacerbating the gap between government revenues and expenses.
Political leaders are challenged.
Many formed their views and values during the Age of Aquarius, but struggle to apply them in the Age of Austerity.
So big questions need to be asked. Tough decisions will need to be made.
But all that could easily lead to a politics of divisiveness.
There is a risk we bequeath to our children and grandchildren a world of "us against them." Such politics leads inevitably to everyone being worse off.
I believe we -- as leaders in the community -- have a responsibility to help construct the right dialogue; one that helps our leaders communicate the issues in a straight-forward manner, and that leads to solutions where there is some consensus.
So what kind of leadership does the world need today? To understand that you have to define the problem and the context in which leadership will have to be exercised.
Today, the world faces a complex interplay of longer-run structural economic issues and the short-term fallout of the financial crisis.
Let's start with the longer-term issues.
In simple terms, in too many countries in the western world, promises have been made that cannot be kept.
Promises around health care, pensions and support systems, which seemed affordable at the time.
Long-term structural forces make that no longer true -- even if the world were not facing the current economic prospects.
This predicament stems from a growth in government programs and commitments made in a world of growing resources and growing choices.
The post-war period witnessed rapid growth.
The baby boom plus the rise in female participation rates caused labour forces to grow faster than the population, spurring per capita income growth.
The reduction of trade barriers and the productivity spurt after the war reinforced significant increases in real income.
As it happened, government revenues were elastic – they grew faster than nominal GNP giving governments a growth dividend.
Politicians were successful if they had a "vision" -- one where new programs, or improved benefits could reduce inequities, right injustices, make a better country.
This vision resulted in the rapid evolution of government as service provider and regulator.
But as government has grown and expanded, owning in effect, more and more of societies' problems, their own credibility has become more strained.
Indeed the things that produce a better life -- good education systems, better health, modern transportation, clean air and water -- has fallen in the government domain. At the same time the private sector has enjoyed enormous productivity gains in its domain and requires fewer and fewer resources to produce those outputs.
Not surprisingly, there are questions around the limits of governments' managerial capacity and what things and how effectively government can operate.
In some cases the growth in government's immediate obligations didn't even match current levels of income.
In Europe, countries took advantage of joining the Euro to borrow money at dramatically lower spreads and in amounts that were beyond their ability to repay.
Markets were effectively asleep at the wheel and only woke up when the damage had been done.
The United States lived a decade of folly where politicians believed they could fight wars, lower taxes, keep interest rates low and have the country consume more than it produced through leveraging its financial system, citizenship and country.
Its status as a reserve currency made it effectively immune from market pressures.
Canada's position is different.
We are a small country, and were forced in the early 90's by real market pressures to act.
We did balance the budget, and fix the Canada Pension Plan.
But we should not assume we can avoid a crisis of potential broken promises in the future.
The same demographic trends that helped grow incomes and government revenues are beginning to work in reverse in Canada too.
We have long-term structural imbalances between government revenues and expenses.
At the provincial level growing health care costs threaten to literally crowd out all other provincial expenditures.
So the core issue for the political system moves from what to do with the growth dividend to how to manage a shortfall in revenues relative to growing demands and former promises.
This challenge -- found around the western world and in Canada -- is compounded by the effects of current economic developments, and more broadly globalization.
The US and part of Europe has suffered through what is called a "balance sheet" recession rather than the more typical "income" recession. And, if history is a guide, the recovery will be slow and painful and accompanied by periodic crises.
The prolonged period of slow growth expected will have a profound effect on Canada's recovery and economy.
Obviously the slowdown produces a short-term gap between government revenues and expenses.
But the nature of the recovery will mean the revenue shortfall will last longer -- the pressure on expense growth will be greater.
More importantly, it also risks increasing the structural fiscal deficit as the prolonged period of low growth reduces the growth potential of the economy.
We have hardly begun to appreciate the implications of such a state of affairs.
In addition, a more Japanese-like scenario of an extended period of slow growth is also characterized by persistently low interest rates.
The effect of prolonged low interest rates on many long dated financial future promises is dramatic – defined benefit pension plans become severely challenged and workers with defined contribution plans face retirement incomes well below those that they had expected.
At the same time the distributional effects of globalization are becoming more apparent.
Globalization may make the world better off, and makes those in the western world with highly valued skills better off.
But others are falling behind.
This includes people with skills in less demand, or in direct competition with workers in lower wage countries. Income gaps have widened. The middle class has shrunk. And the working class struggles. While the highest income earners have become better off.
Without fully understanding all the forces at play -- people get it.
They recognize the prize has just got smaller -- and their instinct is to protect their share.
The Tea Party in the United States is an obvious example. Don't focus on their particular solutions. Focus on what drives this movement. Their popularity stems from tapping into the emotion of average Americans -- people who've worked hard and played by the rules all their life but still don't feel like they've reaped any of the expected benefits.
That also happens to be a message being delivered by those in the "Occupy" movement. They recognize there is no easy solution and -- to their credit -- have avoided being captured by particular solutions. But their message is the same -- they don't like how the world is turning out.
Unfortunately solutions to both the long-term structural issues, and the immediate issues surrounding the financial crisis and the economic problems, are very often tied up in difficult issues of fairness and moral hazard.
Indeed, unlocking the current crises may well require the population to accept government actions laced with moral hazard -- rewarding less disciplined members of society.
For instance, Germans may recognize that they benefited enormously from the Euro, and their government implicitly stood by and permitted the peripheral countries' excesses because their countries were an outlet for German export growth. But they still understandably resist socializing the losses of the inevitable defaults of these countries.
Additionally, the beneficiaries of the globalization believe that their new found higher share of the income pie is deserved and shouldn't be taken away.
Redistributive policies are fraught with challenges to get the right mix of incentives.
If political leadership in the 70s until the last decade was primarily formed around "what can I do for you with your money," over the last two decades, but with increasing force, an alternate framework has become more popular.
It is built around wedge politics, and a division of society between those who have and deserve, and those who don't have or deserve.
Or on the other side of the political spectrum between those who have and don't deserve and those who don't have and do deserve.
Thankfully this discourse has remained relatively muted in Canada. But the strength of the world trends I've talked about – an aging population, globalization compounded by a financial crisis resulting in a balance sheet recession producing slower growth – are putting pressure on societal allocation of resources. And so we should not be complacent nor too reliant on Canadians' natural desire to find consensus.
What is remarkable today is that even short-term economic outcomes seem highly dependent on political, not economic actions.
For instance, the fiscal challenges faced by the U.S. are not complicated.
There have been numerous commissions with numerous answers.
The debate is entirely political – will promised future entitlements be reduced, or taxation levels be raised?
And whose entitlements and whose taxes?
In Europe, the solutions are less obvious, although again the basic elements are apparent.
The peripheral cannot repay all their debts.
So who bears the pain: the lenders or the broader European population?
And what mechanism is put in place to stop future reckless behaviour?
It is no simple task to unwind this remarkable mess without causing a second financial crisis – but it is impossible to answer the question on how to do it without answering the distributional questions first.
The distributional debates and the discourse about the size and scale of governments are not only a legitimate focus for public and political debate – they are the crucial underpinnings of a democracy.
But the debates, in of themselves, create enormous uncertainty, and risk making the economic outcomes worse.
Extended and divisive debates cause investors, consumers and producers to wait for greater certainty.
For us, the challenge is to have a real debate without it turning into a divisive debate, which in itself produces negative outcomes.
Conversely not talking about the issues has a great cost.
In Canada there is a cone of silence around our longer-term issues.
Many politicians believe talk about structural reform is like touching the third rail of a subway -- you're bound to get zapped.
Unless citizens encourage these difficult conversations, politicians understandably put them off.
And as we know the problems don't go away -- they just get bigger with time.
We are asking a lot of a group of politicians who grew up either in the era of "I can do more for you" or in the era of "I can protect you good people from the bad people" to master the very real shift in leadership required to lead a society to a successful answer to those questions.
But the well being of our country, and indeed today the western world relies on their doing so.
How can we as citizens help our politicians lead us in a constructive dialogue?
Business leaders spend their careers in change management, leading organizations to shift paradigms, find new answers, and rebuild themselves.
What principles would we tell a politician to follow? Several come to mind.
First -- understand the issue and motivations at play. You cannot fix what you don't understand. Recognize there are not really good guys or bad guys, but people who responded to the incentives that were given. Accept we are where we are.
Secondly -- build consensus. We need leaders who can make the complicated simple - without demonizing. Societies respond at incredible speed when there is consensus about a problem, its nature and the solution.
Three -- make fairness a crucial test for solutions. Recognize that there is no single view of what is fair. Indeed there are divergent views. Help to build a discussion that creates the middle ground.
Fourth -- paint a vision of the future so people see hope for a better world - for themselves and their children. Generation after generation has sacrificed themselves to have a better world.
Fifth -- create a sense of urgency. Faced with difficult choices people's instinct is to wait - hoping better choices will emerge. But waiting can make these issues more intractable.
Sixth -- encourage and legitimize the diversity of ideas in public debate. There is often more than one way to a desired destination. We all want universal health care. But the Swedes, Australians and French all show us there are different routes to get there.
Finally, if fairness is a critical criterion -- so must be economic growth. Growth solves many distributional issues.
What are the framework policies that governments need to sponsor to foster economic growth?
Many of these -- such as investment in education -- are not in contradiction to a focus on fairness. Others may involve tradeoffs. Life isn't always fair -- but where do we find the balance?
So where do we go from here?
The population, and particularly non-political leaders, must help politicians make the shift to a world of constrained government resources.
Here's how we can help.
Let's stand against divisiveness and political extremes.
Let's support and reward leaders who strive to take the higher ground.
Let's, as citizens, talk about the elephants in the room -- making room for our politicians to act.
Our politicians didn't want to slay the budget - but they learned quickly that they would be supported for doing so.
We encouraged -- and made acceptable -- difficult national conversations.
We must repeat history, and lift the cone of silence.
Let's be open-minded about new ideas and not assume that the way we achieve our goals today will work tomorrow.
We must think outside of the box.
We must be willing to put sacred cows out to pasture.
In a resource-constrained world, clinging to the status quo will hurt -- not help -- those most vulnerable in our society.
We must help our politicians be the leaders we need.
Leaders: Who understand the issues. Who choose the pragmatic over the dogmatic. Leaders who build a consensus around the problem and solution - and paint a vision of a better Canada.
Who celebrate fairness, make tough choices – who are empathetic and convincing.
Who recognize the practical implementation of old principles may be very different from what we have done in the past.
Leaders who recognize that, in the end, economic growth matters and dividing smaller and smaller pies won't work and that international competition is increasing, not decreasing.
Canada has come though the financial crisis relatively well – and we are rightly proud of this and past efforts that have placed us in good standing.
But looking forward we face many of the same challenges as the western world.
How we address them will be a defining moment in our nation's history and our future course.
We possess incredible advantages. Canada is a civil nation, a compassionate nation, a nation that seeks consensus, and that is confident enough to compromise. These are some of our great traits and traditions. These are some of the things I love most about our country.
We have it in us, as Canadians, to get the issues on the table, to support conversations that are inclusive and respectful and ultimately that benefit all Canadians.
We need not be divisive. And we need not delay.
Now is the time to stand up and speak. Let's work towards preserving the elements that will make our country great, fair and equitable in a world of constrained government resources, tough global competition and forces driving increasing income disparity.
With our help, we can do it. And we must do it.
Thank you.

Does Dog Food Rot Teeth?
by Amanda WilliamsAlthough all types of dog foods lead to plaque accumulation on the teeth, wet food generally contributes to tartar buildup faster than dry food due to its adhesiveness. If left untreated, tartar buildup causes oral diseases and conditions such as rotten teeth that require immediate veterinary attention.
Dry Food
According to Sunnyside Pet Healthcare Center, dry food does not adhere to dogs' teeth as quickly as wet food does. Although dry food does contribute to plaque removal as dogs chew, dry food does not help scrape off tartar attached to teeth. To remove tartar buildup, a professional teeth cleaning is required by a veterinary professional.
Wet Food
Eating wet and sticky dog food contributes to rapid plaque buildup since little teeth scraping is involved while chewing. The plaque buildup eventually becomes tartar if not removed. Wet food also includes human food, which the ASPCA suggests should not be fed to dogs as it also easily attaches to teeth. Consider feeding your dog a mixture of wet and dry food to slow the amount of plaque buildup.
Tartar's Affect on Teeth
As plaque from bacteria hardens, it mineralizes and becomes tartar. Tartar that builds up on dogs' teeth eventually presses down on the gums, causing irritation and gum recession. This leads to oral complications such as periodontal disease, or infected gums, rotten teeth and even tooth loss if left unaddressed. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, periodontal disease is the most common disease affecting dogs.

Learning from big business
Unlike the largest organisations, SMEs are less likely to have access to in-house pensions support to guide them through the administrative processes, which can be quite complex if it's the employer's first encounter with workplace pension provision.
Thankfully, AE began with the largest employers, who have tried and tested the system and have some important lessons to impart.
The NAPF conducted research among some of the largest employers, Automatic enrolment: One year on , to explore the experiences of starting AE and to hear what employees who have been automatically enrolled think of their new pension rights.
Over the next few months The Pensions Regulator will be writing to more than 1.5 million addresses across the UK so that by the summer employers should not be in any doubt about their duty to enrol employees into a workplace pension. This communication will be in addition to the normal 12 months advance warning the regulator already undertakes to provide to every employer prior to their staging date.
It's really important employers don't overlook the requirements as the Pensions Regulator can issue a penalty notice if it considers there has been a deliberate attempt to ignore the workplace pension saving rules.
In tomorrow's instalment of our auto-enrolment series, we take a look at the importance of communications…
