Are you looking to buy a futon sofa bed? You do not just want to settle for any futon sleeper sofa, you want the best futon bed for your needs. Select the style of your futon sofa bed frame. You want to choose a futon frame that matches the decor and style of your room. Standard frame types are wooden frames, metal frames and materials or curved frames. You can choose to choose a futon sofa that has no side frame, just a frame on the back.
Choose a powerful frame for your futon sofa bed. Not only do you want to look at style, but you also have to look at how strong the frame is. This is especially true if you plan to use a futon bed with children or if you plan to use it often. If the futon bed will only be in a side room that is not used often then it is less important.
Choose a good futon sofa bed mattress; some futon mattresses are very thin and cheaply made. Just choose these if you do not plan to use the bed often. The options include spring futon mattresses, foam futon mattresses and even memory foam futon mattresses. You can also choose the fibers your futon mattress is made of. Remember, you will use futon to sit on and sleep on, so find a mattress that is comfortable for both. If you are going to sleep on the futon mattress often, you should choose a high quality solid futon mattress, just as you do with the bed.

Hurts so good.
Tuesday night was the second night of track racing I've done since the January 12th crash. I raced for the first time on May 24th, which was also the first time I'd even been on the track- at all- in over a year. As they say, "it's just like riding a bike." They also say, "go fast, turn left, don't stop pedaling." And in my case, they also say, "DON'T CRASH AGAIN!" Thankfully, I can report that all of that came true.
I'm a long way from being fully recovered, especially in terms of overall fitness. The wrist, though improving, is still the biggest limiter. The range of motion still has a lot of improvement to be made, and it still hurts like hell when I put enough weight on it, or move it "just right." When down in the drops, and out of the saddle sprinting, the wrist hollers at me from time to time. There was one spot during the 10 Lap Tempo race last night, as I was getting jettisoned out the back and trying to latch back on, when I stood up to put in an acceleration … and the wrist was having none of it. Truth be told, my legs had given up the previous lap, so I just rolled off the track for a DNF.
The victory, for me, is that I am even on the track at all. I'm a long way away from being anywhere near the same level of fitness I had on the day of the crash in January, and even further away from the shape I need to be in for Masters Track Worlds in 2017/ 2018 … but I'm making an effort to get back there, no matter how much it hurts.
Returning to the track is as much about returning to my family, as it is about returning to competition. I've raced on the track since about 1992- a beginner, compared to many of my friends on the track- and it has become very much a home for me. The riders change from year to year, but many remain the same- that's the nature of track, it seems. And after a year away from the track, and more injuries, I was able to ride a few laps to remember the sensations of the track- immediately feeling at home again, among my friends.
The racing was fast enough to be painful, and prove that I have no top-end speed currently. After spending all my recovery time after the crash and surgery riding either my fixed gear road bike, or my TT bike (because the Masi road frame and fork were cracked in the crash), I'm pretty much always riding at a very steady speed … not exactly what track racing is all about, unless you're racing a Pursuit (or attempting the Hour Record). The first race I did in May seemed to go "ok" enough, but I felt a little under-geared (51×15 on 165 arms), so I thought I'd bump it up to the 52t and see what happened. Short cut; it was too big. That 2″ of bigger gear was enough to keep me feeling bogged down. It was great once up to speed, but everything in between was painful. Back to the 51t next week. For the final 36 lap Points Race, I pretty much got the gear up to speed and rolled. With the sprints coming every six laps, and a few primes tossed in, the pace was fast, but I managed to roll back into the mix after each sprint lap, keeping the pace between the sprints relatively high … because it was the ONE speed I could maintain. I ended up getting points in the last two sprints, but was just happy to finish the full 36 laps. So there was that …
To paraphrase the Office Space soundtrack… "damn it feels good to be a gangster" …
I can't declare that "I'm back", but I can proclaim that I am not dead yet. #yet

As humans, we are hard wired to choose situations that will give us momentary satisfaction over discomfort. It is human nature and it is embedded in our DNA. Our primal ancestors made life-and-death decisions daily. Lucky for us, modern times don't require us to make the kinds of choices our ancestors made. We can easily jump in the car and head to the grocery store or order takeout if we don't have anything to eat rather than risk our lives for a meal. We have modern medicine and doctors to take care of broken bones and illnesses. The internet gives us instant gratification and constant shots of dopamine. Long gone are the days of choosing between life and death or momentary satisfaction over discomfort. We can always choose life, and we can always choose instant gratification.
But just because our modern advancements took away the need to choose between satisfaction vs. discomfort in their traditional sense, these choices still arise outside of our essential needs. We don't choose between satisfaction and discomfort when thinking about shelter, safety, and getting food to our bodies, but we CAN choose between them when we talk about the more intimate details.
The choices that you make are CRUCIAL to your long-term success and longevity in health and wellness. Choosing momentary satisfaction is okay every once in a while, (I am a firm believer in everything in moderation), but when you make it a habit, we start to see issues. Human instinct tells us to avoid discomfort, but in our modern world, discomfort is the only way we will see progress.
Choose Discomfort
Choosing discomfort when deciding what to eat isn't even discomfort. You won't experience discomfort when you choose the broccoli over the French fries or weigh your chicken for dinner. It might not be convenient or the tastiest, but it is the better choice. The same can be said about your fitness goals. Choosing discomfort over instant gratification can be as basic as choosing to come to the gym instead of going home to sit on the couch after work. It might even be choosing to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Neither of those choices are going to put you in any physical danger, but they WILL move you towards your goals faster than the alternative.
Choices that you make inside of the gym also walk this line. You can choose to use the same, scaled weight that you've always used for the thrusters in class and still have a pretty good workout, or you can choose the RX weight and challenge yourself. Neither is really "instant satisfaction", but one choice is definitely more comfortable than the other. Are you challenging yourself and putting yourself in uncomfortable situations? Or are you maintaining the baseline and getting frustrated when you don't see the results that everyone else is getting?
Tracking your food is the same way. Do you think it's "inconvenient" to weigh and measure your food and log in My Fitness Pal? Did you give 70% effort to your new F5 Method numbers and call it quits because you didn't seen results? Guess what, the same principle applies here. You're choosing the instant gratification over challenging yourself to be a little bit uncomfortable with the newness of weighing and measuring your food.
Next time you start to get frustrated with your progress, really give yourself a hard up and down look and see if you are doing EVERYTHING you can to progress yourself forward and actively choosing discomfort.

I am yearning for Spring something fierce. This El Nino year has harshened and extended winter way beyond my comfort zones!
Which is your first/favorite sign of Spring in OK?

- Jenny said...
Oddly, we're getting our Spring flowers about two weeks early because we've had a mild winter.
for me, it's the Tulips. Tulips are big around here and just about an hour north is one of the largest tulip farms in the country. It's spectacular.
And early. However, my tulips are no where to be seen. Last year they didn't emerge until April so I'm hoping for March this year.

Do you go tiptoeing thru the tulips with your two lips close to anothers? Are you going to the Tulip Spectacular this year? Take pictures, and Dad if he's able cause visions of one more fab Spring...priceless.
I am always so joyful when I spot the first Snowdrops!
For us, the Irises come after the Snowdrops. One Winter my cient Ruby came calling and said," I need to redo my Living Room before the yellow bulb garden blooms". We did the room. Ruby called to tell me when the garden was in it's glory so I went to look. There are more than 2 thousand bulbs of yellow daffodils, tulips, iris planted so it looks like a river and waterfall cascading from just the side of her front door to the street! Amazing. We did her room in spring green with crisp white and accents of daffodil yellow. It's a beautiful light filed room but it does not compare with the glory garden.
C'mon Spring!

To endure and become humble : myth and reality of the climate of the prairies
Kato, Taiki
Degree LevelMasters
MetadataShow full item record
Historians and geographers have focused on the study of the images of the West. Their studies have demonstrated that the images of the West were as important as reality itself in understanding the history of western Canada and the western Canadian identity. Both the region's history and identity have been influenced by the images of the West. Another way to look at the history and identity of the West is through climate. This thesis examines the images of the climate of western Canada in order to obtain new insight into western Canadian history and western Canadian identity. This new attempt is considered from three perspectives. First, the way in which Canadian expansionists advertised the West is described. In the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century, Canada needed to dispel negative images of the western climate in order to attract millions of homesteaders. The climate portrayed in immigration pamphlets was all positive. Secondly, the actual experience of pioneer homesteaders is investigated by examining pioneer questionnaires, recorded interviews, and diaries. Settlers encountered the harsh reality of the climate. The real perception of the climate was very different from the idealized climate. Finally, literature and arts of the 1920s and 1930s demonstrate how the climate of western Canada was viewed at that time. The expansionists' views were still influential even after the settlement boom. The actual perception was minimized by the ideal climate myth.

My next game in the congress was a French. I haven't investigated the 'Winawer Variation' enough yet to be confident enough to play it - but I knew that the Exchange Variation would be solid enough to hold at least a draw (although a colleague mentioned to me after the game that he had never lost with a French Exchange Variation online as Black ...) The draw suited me fine as it was late on Saturday and I needed to save my energy for Sunday!

Food Markets in Madrid
Food markets in Madrid
Madrid is home to superb food markets that are worth visiting and discovering
Mercado de San Anton
The Mercado de Anton Martin is one of the best markets that you can find in Madrid. It is located in the surroundings of the Plaza de Anton Martin, on Calle Santa Isabel and you can get there very easily on the metro by taking line 1 to the Anton Martin stop.
If you like excellent quality products, this is the place for you. On top of it, variety is the word used to describe the market, because you can really find whatever you want: typical fish stands (100% fresh), meat, fruit, shoemakers and Japanese food shops!
Buying at the market brings pleasure. It is good to go with a bit of time on your hands and take the time to look at all the stands with different prices and products but also to try the best tapas from each and every one.
There is also a large selection of charcuterie and cheeses, which makes it the perfect place to buy traditional Spanish food.
Mercado de San Miguel
Designed by the architect Alfonso Dube y Diez, the San Miguel Market was inaugurated on the 31st of May 1916 but now totally re-done by Juan Manuel Alarcon. This market has all types of food from the land and the sea, and you can enjoy eating it in the magical interior with metal, crystal and ceramic frames.
Depending on the time of the day, there is much to enjoy including a nice glass of Rioja wine, some delicious jamon de bellota and, if you come early enough, some excellent pastries for breakfast. It's the gastrodome of San Miguel.
Being one of the top tourist attractions in Madrid since its opening in 2009, this market is one of the most visited places of Madrid - something not too surprising. Not only is the market beautiful inside and out but the large variety of food stands attract a lot of international and national tourists.
You can find everything from flowers, to cheese, vegetables, fish and even caviar. You can taste all of these gourmet tapas on some of the tables that are at your disposition whilst enjoying the ambiance surrounding you.
Everything being said, the Mercado San Miguel is not the cheapest place to shop around, however it does allow you to have, at your disposition, a lot of the more traditional dishes all in one place, which is quite convenient…
If you are a foodie and you plan to visit Barcelona, we recommend you visit our section with Barcelona's top markets

Want to emphasize that this is not something that I am putting at the feet of anybody or is anyone fault, the judge said. I do want to give the attorneys the appropriate amount of time to try to resolve the issue with the court, and we will be spending the rest of the day doing just that. Also warned the jury that inclement weather might cause a late start or cancellation of court on Wednesday.

The Russians developed a plan to create a manned series of spy satellites cloaked behind the same technology and ostensible program goals as the civilian Salyut program. Of the seven Salyut missions, Salyut 2 (the first of the so called Almaz missions that carried the R 23M cannon into orbit) depressurized in orbit and was destroyed without ever hosting a crew. Salyut 3 was the first station to carry and fire the weapon, but the Soviets were sufficiently concerned about damage that they only performed the test after the crew had long since returned to Earth..

Accuris Compact balances have been designed to meet the basic needs of academic and research labs that require accurate weight determination in the range of 0.01 g to 0.1 g. Their reliable and precise weighing technology utilizes gold-plated, ceramic capacitors to determine sample mass.
The Compact line of balances from Accuris includes 6 models covering a wide range of maximum weight capacities to suit the needs and requirements of different laboratories. The lower capacity units (120 g, 300 g, and 500 g) are readable to an accuracy and minimum value of 0.01 g, and come with a draft shield ring to prevent air currents from affecting the measurement. These models feature a 4.5 inch diameter stainless steel weighing pan. The larger capacity models (1,000 g, 5,000 g, and 10,000 g) which do not include the draft shield ring, come with larger weighing pans of 6.3 to 7 inches in diameter, and are readable to an accuracy and minimum value of 0.1 g.
All balances in the Accuris Compact line offer large, brightly lit LCD panels, and are easy to operate using the intuitive and splash resistant control panel. Different modes allow the weight to be displayed in various units: grams, ounces and carats, and simple programs can be used for precise counting and percent deviation weighing.
Leveling feet are located toward the front of the balance for easy access, and a leveling bubble is displayed in the control panel and is easy to see for quick and simple leveling of the balance on the lab bench. The balances can be calibrated using a calibration weight and a few keystrokes on the control panel. Simply select a calibration point in the calibration mode, place the calibration weight onto the weighing pan and press the "CAL" button.
Lightweight and small in size and footprint, the Accuris Compact balances will provide years of trouble-free and accurate service.

After a daring escape from a Mental Hospital with two of your friends, you find yourself separated from them and lost in the woods. Each of you went in different directions and all you know is that one of your friends was headed for the city and the other one just disappeared. Your main objective is to get through the woods. Try to survive by finding food and avoiding the hazards of the wilderness and ultimately find a way to reunite with your friends. Have Fun!
Use your mouse to play this fun online game. You will need to point and click on everything and figure out the puzzles. Remember that timing your clicks is very important in some instances.
When you are in the wood you are in a danger or you are dealing with a particular difficulty situation.

Getting lost in the woods can in some circumstance be deadly, but in most it is just scare developed as you feel you have lost control of the situation.

On 27 November 1936, in a hotel room in San Antonio, Texas, Robert Johnson recorded "They're Red Hot," his homage to hot tamales, a popular food in his native Mississippi. This classic blues song included the lyrics, "Hot tamales and they're red hot / Yes she got 'em for sale" and represents what foodways expert John T. Edge calls a "culinary conundrum." Edge is referring to the ubiquitous presence of the "hot tamale" in the Delta.
Although now a traditional dish in the Delta, as popular as catfish and pork barbecue, the tamale seems to have originated in pre-Columbian Mexico. Mesoamericans used rabbit, boar, and other game animals until Europeans arrived in the New World and beef, goat, and domesticated meats became common ingredients. Then as now, the basic tamale is a cylinder of spiced meat encased in cornmeal, tightly wrapped and steamed inside a cornhusk. Tamales are widely considered a Mexican dish, and in the southwestern states they are a much-anticipated delicacy during the Christmas season.
Historians believe that the tamale first became a staple in the kitchens of Mississippi around the turn of the twentieth century, through local cooks' serendipitous contacts with Mexican Americans, probably farmworkers from Texas who traveled through the Delta during harvesting season.
The tamales' spicy flavors and convenience—they are readily prepared in advance and are extremely portable—recommended them to Delta sharecroppers, who quickly adopted them for quick lunches in the cotton fields. Within a few years of this introduction, tamales had become as popular as hot dogs and were being sold by street vendors throughout the Delta. During the 1930s, Mexican Americans ceased migrating to the Delta in significant numbers, but the tamale remained as their culinary legacy.
The Delta tamale, born of the collision of African American and indigenous Mexican cultures, differs in some ways from the variety of tamale familiar in Mexico and the American Southwest. Although recipes differ from place to place, most Delta tamales share certain basic characteristics. For example, they use plain cornmeal, while the Mexican tamale is made with the coarser-ground masa harina. Also, they are typically tied with twine, three to a bundle, before they are steamed. Delta tamales are frequently eaten with saltine crackers, which the diner employs to scoop up the savory filling. Finally, though contemporary Delta tamale fillings of pork, beef, or chicken are still flavored with a spicy mixture of chili powder, cumin, and other typical Mexican spices, they are often spicier than their Mexican counterparts.
In 2005 the Southern Foodways Alliance documented a number of sites that together became the Mississippi Delta Hot Tamale Trail. In 2012 Greenville began hosting the annual Delta Hot Tamale Festival.

Rue Ravensteinstraat 23
1000 Brussels
For the exhibition 'TENDENCIES', curator Raphaël Stevens selected six Belgian artists, including the Space Farming Project of the international collective SEAD (Angelo Vermeulen) developed in collaboration with Gluon. The 'Space Farming' project looks ahead to the future of mankind in an interstellar context. In collaboration with a team of experts associated with Howest, Angelo Vermeulen developed some experiments and prototypes that further investigate the cultivation of plants in space.
The TENDENCIES exhibition focuses on works that question scientific and technological innovations as much as they incorporate them. For this fourth edition, it looks at our relationship with possible futures, be they dystopian or utopian. Sound and visual installations by six artists are brought together to provoke an overview effect, like that experienced by certain astronauts when they observe Earth from space and realise how fragile life is.
Will artificial intelligence help all human beings to live together on Earth intelligently or, on the contrary, will it reveal our own limitations and those of our development strategy? TENDENCIES tries to find an answer…

The future of coffee begins with young farmers – but why should they care to continue producing?
- Can coffee production be a viable economic option for the next generation of farmers?
- What are typical trends in coffee communities in terms of age profiles?
- How can we secure the future of coffee producing communities?

Rick Scott will be sworn in today as Florida's governor. His new administration has many top positions still open.
Rick Scott takes the field as Florida's governor today with anything but a full team in place.
Scott, a Republican who will be formally inaugurated in a late-morning ceremony, has appointed only three of more than a dozen and a half top department and agency heads -- the fewest to this point of any governor in recent memory.
With an ambitious agenda ahead of him -- including a promise to create nearly 700,000 new jobs -- the lack of a complete leadership team raises the question of whether Scott may lose some of his momentum as his first year in office begins.
The team that Scott has picked so far is also unusual in that many of the choices, including his chief of staff, served for long periods in the military. Others, including his picks to lead emergency management and environmental protection, come directly from corporations.
Former Gov. Bob Martinez, who attended some of Scott's pre-inauguration events on Monday, said Scott has "put together a good team."
But that team still has a lot of holes, including leaders for the departments of children and families, transportation, lottery, health, state and juvenile justice.
"It's not complete. But they should be able to work with the Legislature," Martinez said about Scott and his lieutenant governor, former state Rep. Jennifer Carroll of Fleming Island.
Longtime observers said most recent governors had a majority of their agency heads in place when they were sworn into office.
Ken Plante, a veteran lobbyist, recalled Gov. Claude Kirk having only a handful of appointments when he took office in 1967 -- when Plante was a freshman member of the Florida Senate.
Plante, who played a key role in Gov. Jeb Bush's initial transition into office in 1999, said Scott's lack of appointments may not "matter a heck of a lot."
Scott has asked most of the major agency heads from Gov. Charlie Crist's administration to remain on the job for the next few months as he continues to build his leadership team.
"He's got people out there running the shops," Plante said. "This will give him the time to make sure he gets the right people in place."
One of the reasons for Scott's delay in naming new agency heads is that he is deliberately stepping outside the ready pool of experienced government bureaucrats to fill his agency positions. With his pledge to end "business as usual" in the state capital, Scott, for the most part, is targeting leaders with business backgrounds rather than governmental r�sum�s.
For instance, he named a Wal-Mart executive -- Bryan Koon -- as the new director of the state division of emergency management, which handles the response to hurricanes and other disasters.
On Monday, Scott tapped a Jacksonville shipping industry executive -- Herschel Vinyard -- to lead the state Department of Environmental Protection.
"We are fortunate to have recruited Herschel from the private sector into government service," Scott said.
On Monday, Scott, who has already moved into the governor's mansion, attended a series of pre-inauguration events with his wife, Ann, and Carroll.
He began the morning with a breakfast honoring "women in leadership" and ended the day with an "inaugural candlelight dinner" with some of the supporters who helped him raise $3.5 million for the inaugural activities.
Scott also attended a luncheon tribute to his wife, honored the state's military members at an event, attended a youth concert and had a reception at an antebellum mansion near the state Capitol complex.
Today's activities will include a prayer breakfast at Florida A&M University, the swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the old Capitol, an inaugural parade and an open house at the mansion.
The inauguration will be capped off by a formal ball this evening.

Most of the time headaches are caused by being dehydrated. Doctors prescribe to stop focusing on over-eating and worry about intake of lots of fluids. Protein obtained from drinking milk also count towards fluid intake. It is challenging every day to drink but it does help reducing headache.
Generally, any of the common pain relievers are usable with the sleeve – indeed that is one of its' primary advantages over the bypass, which is severely limited in what meds can be used. Some doctors may limit use of NSAIDs, including aspirin, for a time after surgery while others will recommend them for use as soon as the narcotic pain relievers are no longer needed. Some doctors who are still operating under RNY protocols may say that they can never be used, but they have some catching up to do with the rest of the VSG/DS world. Given the wide variety of responses between surgeons, it's best to check with yours to see what his recommendations are.
An increased dosage of PPI is sometimes recommended with use of NSAIDs with the sleeve to help protect the stomach lining, but we have no where near the sensitivity to them that bypass patients have. There are now some recent studies indicating an increased risk of acetemetiphin (Tylenol) poisening and resultant liver damage due to the over-dependence upon Tylenol as a pain reliever in bypass patients.
Some patients do report minor side-effects in digestion after using tylenol, NSAIDs, advil, motrin, ibuprofen, or aleve.

Back to the Future Star… Top 5 Top 40 Artists
Every month, iHeartRadio picks a new Future Star to highlight across iHeartRadio stations nationwide – a way to acknowledge young Canadian talent on the rise.
Shawn Mendes – Aug 2014
Before he came to the fore with his infectious top 10 hit "Stitches", singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes was just your average Canadian teen living in Pickering, Ontario. Posting covers to the popular app Vine, the 18-year-old was soon discovered by A&R at Island Records, where he eventually signed.
Mendes released his hit album Handwritten in 2015, which debuted at number one. He followed it up with 2016's Illuminate, which spawned the top tracks "Mercy" and "Treat You Better". His most recent single – "There's Nothing Holding Me Back" – is almost a dictum for the trajectory of Mendes' show-stopping career. Now, the singer-songwriter is on tour with Illuminate, and will be criss-crossing the globe until December 2017.
Scott Helman – Mar 2015
21-year-old Toronto native Scott Helman's name might not be household yet, but you've certainly heard his earworms if your radio has been switched on in the past few years. Helman's brand of indie rock has been favourably compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley and Vance Joy. After being gifted a guitar for his 10th birthday, Helman learned his way around the frets and was quickly signed to Warner Music at the age of 15.
His debut EP, Augusta, came out October 2014 and brought with it songs like "Bungalow" and "That Sweater", which fellow Canuck Shawn Mendes named one of his favourite songs in an issue of Us Weekly. In 2016, he garnered two JUNO Award nominations for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Pop Album of the Year. Since, Helman has released his follow up album, Hotel de Ville.
Alessia Cara – July 2015
Alessia Caracciolo, best known as simply Alessia Cara, has gone from strength to strength since her 2015 debut with the chart-climbing "Here". Though she hasn't been around very long, the 20-year-old R&B star counts Drake, Zedd and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson among her varied fans. Discovered, as most young talents seem to be these days, through covers posted to YouTube, Cara signed to Def Jam in 2015.
"Here" became her breakout hit, but she didn't take long to eclipse that success with songs like 2016's "Scars to Your Beautiful" and 2017's collab with producer Zedd, "Stay", which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and became her third top 10 hit. Cara was also tapped for Disney's Moana soundtrack. She performed the song "How Far I'll Go". Cara will co-host the 2017 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards and perform later this summer at the Calgary Stampede.
Coleman Hell – Oct 2015
Thunder Bay's Coleman Hell is pushing the borders of music genre further with his fusion of country and EDM. It's been labeled as "folktronica", among other things. After a brief stint rapping as part of group Burnz n' Hell, Hell left to form Sideways, a Toronto-based collective along with friends La+ch, Shan Vincent De Paul and Michah. While a part of Sideways, he came up with "2 Heads", which has spent more than 20 weeks on Billboard's Alternative Chart.
His debut album, Summerland, was released in 2016 and hit number 13 on the charts in Canada. It produced the Platinum-selling record "Fireproof". He also spent most of 2016 touring with Twenty-One Pilots.
Ruth B – May 2016
Ruth B., full name Ruth Berhe, is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Edmonton, Alberta. Her influences include Lauryn Hill, The Beatles, Carole King, Grouplove, Adele, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. While working part-time at fashion chain Reitman's, Ruth began posting six-second clips on social media service Vine. It was there that she began to get recognition for her talent. She signed to Columbia Records off of the back of her original song, "Lost Boy", inspired by the TV series Once Upon A Time in July 2015.
The song was included on her debut EP, The Intro, released on November 27, 2015. This month, Ruth B. kept the momentum going with her debut album, cowritten with Joel Little (who has worked with Lorde, among others), Safe Haven. It peaked at number 17 on the Canadian music charts.


text: MEGAN MCCARTHY PHOTO WORTH PRESERVING – Evans Haile, producing artistic director of the Cape Playhouse, knows what a draw historic venues can be. At the invitation of the Palm Beach Theater Guild, he made a presentation to the Palm Beach Civic Association earlier this month in an effort to preserve the landmarked Royal Poinciana Playhouse. The Palm Beach Daily News reported that there's a plan to tear down the 52-year-old building, save for a sliver of its façade, and build a new theater. "Haile emphasized the marketability of the Playhouse's glittering past, when it played host to great names in theater," the News noted. Sounds like a certain stage in Dennis we know well. Due to a reporting error, dates in the Barnstable High School dropout rate story last week were incorrect. The story should have read: [Principal Pat] Graves said that the projected percentage of students dropping out during the 2008-2009 school year is approximately 2.5 percent, down 3.1 percent from the 2007-2008 school year… We're sure the parental pride is justified, but it's still disconcerting to be on an icy road behind a giant SUV and see a bumper sticker proclaiming SKIDMORE…. The timing couldn't be more appropriate. With news of a major earthquake in Haiti still reverberating, friends of the Cape's Haiti Project will hold their annual fundraiser Saturday [Jan. 16] at the Messina restaurant on Route 6 in Eastham from 6 p.m. to midnight. There's an Italian buffet, raw bar, silent auction, and dancing, and you can buy handmade Haitian art. Admission is $20 at the door, and if you can't make the event, go to www.artmatenwa.org to make a donation…. We make fun of other papers' typos now and then, so we must confess that you would have enjoyed a howler in our own news pages had not hawk-eyed Barbara Clark caught the error before publication. One of our writers had typed out an invitation to donate to food panties…. After last week's pigskin debacle, a faithful reader wrote to tell us, "You are the only Patriot I'll get to root on for another 9 months."…. Georgia O'Keefe's "Alligator Pear in White Dish" will be for sale Jan. 29 at Boston's Skinner gallery. A press release says the painting "had been considered lost since the mid-1950s when it was last known to have been purchased by a Cape Cod collector…. xCongratulations to Housing Assistance Corporation, whose NOAH Pledge-a-Bed Telethon on Dec. 16 raised $60,000, well more than last year's $49,000. Donations are still welcome at www.noahtelethon.org…. Judith Partelow, director of the Provincetown Theater Company, is looking for two actresses willing to travel to the Cape tip "for wonderful roles in a new play," Jerry Thompson's drama about a "girl going off to college who falls in love with a high school friend who has just joined the Marines." For details, write to email@example.com.... Too late for the listings: The Garden Club of Hyannis (GCFM-NGC) will meet in Fellowship Hall at the Federated Church of Hyannis, 320 Main St. at noon Jan. 19. The program is "Everything You Wanted to Know About Houseplants," presented by Jane Kennedy. The public is welcome for a small donation. For more information, contact Sandra Piver at 508-394-6458.

Home › Forums › Miscellaneous › Elmhurst College asks the LGBT question of new students. Is this future diversity?
This topic contains 7 replies, has 4 voices, and was last updated by Stephanie Slade 8 years, 7 months ago.

Elmhurst college, a privately owned college is asking its students a very controversial yet optional question on their admission application;
"Would you consider yourself a member of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community?"
Their goal, according to this article in the Chicago Tribune is to "increase diversity and give them a better understanding of LGBT students."
- Does this increase diversity in your opinion?
- Is this pandora's box waiting to happen or just another way of "looking at diversity in all of its forms," as mentioned in this Huffington Post article "
What are your thoughts? Is this the new form of diversity?
August 26, 2011 at 1:00 pm #139627
Stephanie SladeParticipant
Good question! If it were a public school, I'd be uneasy with this. But I suppose a private college has the right to ask optional demographic questions and to pursue a diverse campus if they deem it to be in their interests. Why not?

Andreas AddisonParticipant
My first thought about this question is in relationship to the "member of the LGBT community" wording. I support my friends who are a part of this community and they consider me to be a part of their community as they include me in their thoughts, plans and activities. They are also not an isolated community, but an ingrained part of our society. So I would respond to this question with a clarifying comment: are they trying to increase their knowledge of the LGBT population and/or those that support and love those that are? This question to me confuses the attempt to find diversity and I would be more open to a question including the understanding, support and members of the LGBT community. They are not a community just to themselves and this question can easily be interpreted and read as if they are a single group.
August 26, 2011 at 2:54 pm #139623
@stephanie. What would your concerns be if this were a public school? Just curious…..
August 26, 2011 at 3:00 pm #139621
Hmmm. You raise a good point. I'm not sure what the motivator is here for Elmhurst. I like to think that Elmhurst is acknowledging the LGBT community. Granted it is an "ingrained part of our society" and has always been. I think that America has grown into the part of our society. Elmhurst is merely a snapshot of this growing acceptance. Just my thoughts. Money is always a motivator. Finding a marketing niche is always a good thing when growing the bottom line. Being a trailblazer in this area maybe what Elmhurst is after. Just my thoughts.

I agree with you Andreas…the question should expand its scope to be more than just those who are LGBT but those who support, love and link arm-in-arm on LGBT issues.
I'm still not sure why this question is totally relevant and I think there are other ways to learn more about the LGBT community if that is their true intent (i.e. supporting community events, forums for discussions and practice equality at all times).
August 26, 2011 at 5:17 pm #139617
Stephanie SladeParticipant
I think there are legal, maybe even constitutional, claims (i.e., government shouldn't be discriminating either for or against people based on demographics) that don't necessarily apply to a private institution.
August 26, 2011 at 5:23 pm #139615
These would be hot button issues in the public forum. Thanks for sharing.

Over the course of this past year, we have welcomed eleven different women to our studios to share insights from their work in the built environment in a series of evening sessions.
During our last talk held last week, Eleanor Fawcett shared lessons learned from her time at the London Legacy Development Corporation on creating successful places and how these insights now enrich her work at the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation as Head of Design. In December, we had the pleasure to host the architect Mary Duggan who presented a selection of her current projects and thoughts on life, hard work and ideas. Other highlights of the series included a retrospective talk by our own Di Haigh with reflections on the significance of architecture in her own journeys and a dialogue with Yana Peel, CEO of the Serpentine Galleries about how contemporary art institutions engage with the public realm.
Many across the studio attended, learning first-hand of the stories, insights and meaningful work of these inspiring women. It allowed the practice to engage with some bigger questions and topics from those present in our work to issues of gender equality and the diversity of career options available to those with a passion for architecture and urbanism.
Read more about the lecture series kick off 2018 and a summary of Di Haigh's journeys.

Wacom's tablets have long been considered an industry standard, and reasons as to why are obvious to anyone who uses them. Though the Intuos3 was a masterpiece of a tablet, the Intuos4 improves things all-around, such as with a higher level of sensitivity, LED-labeled quick-keys, removable USB cable, improved design and more.
Having used the Intuos3 for so long, I was a bit intimidated by the latest model. But, I'm happy to report that working on it has been just as easy as the previous model. In some cases, it's even more comfortable, thanks to the beveled shape at the top and bottom which makes it easier on your wrists. Also, because it's so light-weight, I often have been using it on my lap.
The eight express keys are very easy to activate, needing very little pressure, and it's great to have all of them available to one side, conveniently-placed, and with the LED displays, you will never forget what you program to each one.
One small nuisance, at least for me, is that dust and smudges/fingerprints show up on this tablet like a sore thumb. It is not a big deal, but something I figured worth mentioning. I give it a good wipe down with a partially-damp micro-fiber cloth after every use, to keep it tip-top.
Drawing with the tablet has shown significant difference, and that is with the pen pressure. The pen strokes feel smoother and more fluid, writing and drawing is clean and easy. With the new pen design they were able to give it a whopping 2048 levels of pressure. That gives the Intuos4 double the amount of pressure sensitivity that the Intuos3 did!
I didn't think that such a change would make such a large difference, but it does make drawing with the tablet that much easier. I even did some quick calligraphy and a fast sketch with the Intuos4. The sketch was done with Corel Painter Sketch Pad, one of the bundle programs available to download (in the Americas region). The new pen design is really nice; it feels slimmer, lighter and more comfortable than the old one.
For my first real run with the Intuos4, I started work on a commissioned piece in Photoshop CS2. Again, drawing was fantastic, working lines and coloring has never been easier. During the drawing of my commission, the pen nib seemed to rub off onto the board a bit, leaving some scuff marks on the tablet surface. This pen's nib is not the same white plastic nibs as the Intuos3's nibs, but rather a black plastic.
I was worried it might scrape the surface, as these pen nibs feel a bit harder than the Intuos3's version. Yet, after a wipe down it came off and the board was fine. I now use a sheet of smooth paper over my Intuos4 surface area while working, just in case. It works just fine and keeps the active area clean.
The pen nib does seem to be wearing down significantly with just this use, vs. the pen nib I've never changed on my Intuos3. Perhaps it is just normal for them to wear down a little bit to start, but we'll see how long they last after a year of use. I completed my commission with the Intuos4 and was pleased with how well it worked. I had no real trouble converting from the Intuos3 to the Intuos4, it was an easy transition.
I really do like the new touch ring. This ring works much like the touch strips on the Intuos3. Touch your finger to the surface and either move clock-wise or counter clock-wise to perform a function. There are four small LED lights located on the outer side of the ring (close to the tablet face), which let you know which function you have active on your touch ring. These functions can be programmed, but for my tablet I am using the default settings; top is zooming in/out, second is cycle layers, third is brush size, and fourth is canvas rotation.
I'll have to say that using the touch ring will take some getting used to. The reason I say this is that in order to use it for specific purposes you have to press the center toggle button inside the touch ring to switch between functions. Often I had my touch ring speed set too high to start, often overshooting where I wanted the zoom or brushes to sit. It isn't hard to do, though, and I am sure my accuracy on the button presses will be better with practice. I used it a lot during my commissioned piece, and although I was a bit slow with it to start, I grew more comfortable with it and speed picked up.
