Well, long time no writing! Shame Shame, you know my name, right?
The last time I wrote, I believe was towards the first of June. I haven't had much time or inclination for entering sweeps, however I did have the wonderful pleasure of attending the National Sweepstaker's convention in late August, right before school started.
I got to take my daughter with me, and while she's attended one other sweepstaker's convention back in New Hampshire four years ago, this year was her first year in participating! Now my daughter isn't into this hobby quite like her little momma. However by the end of it all, while walking back to our hotel room after the night of the banquet, which is the BIG night at these things, her comment to me made me smile...
"Momma, I think I wanna be a sweeper now!" :)
I just smiled real big and told her that was basically the whole point in taking her with me. While she isn't particularly interested in stamps or postcards like myself, she was a big winner during the whole convention, especially during the banquet. In fact, she put her momma to shame, but that's ok. It was worth every penny spent, just to see my beautiful daughter smile when her name was called with a win.
We actually sat in the back with several lovely people and had to yell really loud, because my daughter is kind of on the shy side. (I have no clue who she got that from, because it sure isn't her Momma or her Daddy) So this little sweeper/momma had to get a really big mouth, just so she wouldn't lose out.
I won't bore you with what her or I won during that week-end, but the best win in my daughter's opinion was the $500 in cash. And if it wasn't for the help of two of the nicest people in the sweeping world I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, none of it would have happen.
To make a long story short, if it hadn't been for the help of both Todd and Robyn, I wouldn't have gotten to seen my daughter's beautiful smile on the night of the banquet. The reason being is my back went out on Saturday morning and we actually ended up missing the morning session, as I literally couldn't move out of bed. I was fine 30 minuets prior when I went to have potty break, but afterwards, it was as if I was frozen stiff and to be honest it scared me. With my baby's help, she helped me get dressed and we went as quickly as we could to the vendor room, so we could sign up for the raffles for that night's banquet. I couldn't hardly move, I was in tears, and we lost our labels to put on our cards. Well, Todd ran around getting all the stuff for me, as I gave him our money for the raffles, and Robyn and (I hate to admit to my short memory, but hey it goes with the height right?) , another lady who sat next to her, put my new labels freshly printed off, on the cards and then Todd went and ran and put them in the boxes. I almost felt like it was a game show, trying to get it all sorted out. But not in the good and fun kind of way. More like the, I think my heart's going to stop and everything looks to be going ninty miles an hour kind of way and where the heck is my prize kind of way!
So if it hadn't been for their caring and helpful nature, it would have ended up on a low note for my daughter. Robyn and Todd are wonderful people, who I used to also see once a month at our local sweepers club. The two of them are hosting next year's Sweepers convention in Salt Lake City, Utah which happens to be where Robyn used to live.
I am about to go and sign up now for next year's convention. I've only driven through Salt Lake once or maybe twice in my life, but it's a beautiful area and I look forward to seeing (Lord willingly) in June of 2013! Hopefully my husband will be with us, if not I am sure it won't take too much to convince my daughter in tagging along with me! I encourage anyone and everyone to try and make it to a National convention at least once in their lifetime. Even if you are a shy person by nature, like my daughter is, I honestly don't believe you will leave without wonderful memories and several names of new friends! If you do attend next year's convention, and see a beautiful petite redhead, with a shorty of a momma on a scooter, flying by everyone, parting sea's of people like it was the red sea, then you will see us, so please say hello! :) And remind me to write on my blog....because Lord knows I need all the help in remembering I can get.
Take care and win big and often! Because I can attest that if you don't enter, you sure as heck can't win squat!

Making furniture is an artwork, no doubt about it. My husband is out in the workshop for hours fiddling at this or that – or perhaps simply avoiding the turmoil in the house. Whether it be colours, supplies, textures, furniture styles, flooring or lighting, new concepts and ideas are brought to the buyer yearly. In the event you put some furniture then have to think about the situation fairly than the furniture. Green inside design is about analyzing all elements of a building's inside – it's elements and processes – to seek out ways to avoid wasting vitality and water, to search out ways to cut back greenhouse fuel emissions, to make the inside freed from toxic chemical substances and to use materials that are the most environmentally pleasant.
For our rocking chair we used three completely different designs of paper, typically though we simply stick to one design. In this sense, the washitsu within the Furnishings Home is a vital a part of the building as it presents a mix of cultures: Ban has used his life experiences acquired from his training in America, underneath John Hejduk and the New York 5, however decided to keep intact a part of his heritage and culture in his Furniture Home.
We haven't bought loads from the resort furnishings outlet, simply because we did not know about it till we had already picked up most of our different furniture. The steps we used can merely be recreated on any furniture you would possibly wish to use. If you can let the suitable people know that you've got that furniture accessible, you can promote it for a good amount and get some of that effectively-spent a refund in your pocket.
Typically these designs of ornamentation and rocille have been copied onto partitions and furniture. The nineteenth century is usually outlined by concurrent revival types , together with Gothic , Neoclassicism, Rococo, and the EastHaven Movement The design reforms of the late century launched the Aesthetic motion and the Arts and Crafts motion Art Nouveau was influenced by each of those movements.
If you're shopping for newly made wood furniture opt for wooden that is sourced with the setting in mind. During this era, there was a gradual introduction of Georgian architectural designs with a bit more consideration paid to details and forms of buildings and furniture. To get started with my record I've executed a analysis and so under you will discover a list of key furnishings shops and home décor stores in Munich.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (dir. Martin McDonagh, 2017)
Since its publication in 1953, Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" has become a staple of American literature courses. Often read alongside the works of authors such as William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy, the story is thought to be emblematic of "Southern Gothic" literature, a subgenre in which mysterious and even macabre elements are used to explore various social issues, particularly those associated with the American South (poverty, racism, religion, etc.). O'Connor's place in this genre is often associated with her development of "grotesque" characters — that is, characters who simultaneously elicit disgust and empathy. These figures may be sinful, but they are not, sensu stricto, evil; they are disfigured, wounded. O'Connor ties this type of characterization to her Southern-cum-Catholic background: "Whenever I'm asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological."
"A Good Man Is Hard to Find" centers on a banally dysfunctional Georgia family en route to Florida for a summer vacation. After a series of misadventures, they get lost somewhere east of Macon, near the ominously named Toomsboro. A freak accident occurs, and their car plunges into a ditch. Confused and irritated, but not mortally wounded, the family flags an oncoming vehicle for help. Three armed men get out, and the family's matriarch — a jejune and self-centered woman known only as the Grandmother — identifies them as a band of fugitives led by The Misfit, a notorious murderer. Under duress, the Grandmother pleads with The Misfit for her life: "She found herself saying, 'Jesus, Jesus,' … but the way she was saying it, it sounded as if she might be cursing." The Misfit begins to contemplate Jesus and the possibility of his raising the dead: "'I wasn't there so I can't say He didn't [raise the dead]…I wish I had of been there … If I had of been there I would of known…and I wouldn't be like I am now.'" Suddenly, as if receiving a revelation, the Grandmother intuits The Misfit's pain and her own peculiar relation to it. She sympathetically places her hand on The Misfit's shoulder, but he recoils and shoots her three times. "'She would of been a good woman,'" The Misfit reflects, "'if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.'"
In an opening scene of Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand, in an Oscar-winning performance) visits a local advertising agency, hoping to lease the eponymous billboards on the outskirts of town. Business is slow, and so Mildred finds the agency's manager Red Welby (Caleb Landry Jones) in a quiet moment — his feet propped on his desk, book in hand.
The book is O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." McDonagh's camera lingers on it just long to enough to let the viewer take note. In turn, he suggests that the following story is an exercise in O'Connor-like grotesquerie — a film, in other words, that will offer signs of grace but in the midst of human fallenness.
To be sure, Mildred understands the brokenness of humanity all too well. Her husband left her for a younger woman, further complicating an already precarious domestic life. Then things went from bad to (impossibly) worse: her daughter was raped and murdered in a crime that remains unsolved. Sensing apathy from the local police chief Bill Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), she decides to put pressure on the authorities by, quite literally, advertising her pain on a trio of billboards:
Many of the residents of Ebbing (a fictional town represented by Sylva, North Carolina) are offended by Mildred's signs, not only because of their brazenness, but also because they imply that Willoughby has been negligent. A pillar of the community, Willoughby has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and many resent that Mildred refuses to allow him to spend his final weeks in peace. No one is angrier at Mildred than Jason Dixon (Sam Rockwell, who also won an Oscar for his role), an officer in the Ebbing PD whose childlike admiration for Willoughby is matched only by his enmity toward everyone else. So, when Willoughby commits suicide, Dixon's worst tendencies come to the fore. He drinks heavily and, in a scene with Scorsese-like flair, tosses Welby from a second-story window. Dismissed from the force, Dixon appears to be a lost cause, but a series of unexpected events sets him on a different path — one that, as he sees it, would have met Willoughby's approval. He reconciles with Mildred, and the two vow to become vigilantes on behalf of abused women.
It is easy to see, then, how Three Billboards could be seen as an example of grotesque cinema. As in O'Connor's stories, the film does not feature a classic protagonist — a savior who is confident, noble, and pure. Rather, its three main characters are flawed in significant ways. Willoughby has the mien of a hero but is terrified of his own mortality. Dixon is a goon and a racist. And though Mildred is billed as the lead character, her bitterness has twisted her into an icon of guerrilla warfare:
On the other hand, McDonagh manages to elicit empathy for each of these figures too. Willoughby is a good man cut down in his prime. Dixon belongs to the "working poor," meagerly educated and still living at home — with his xenophobic and spiteful mother, no less. And Mildred's suffering goes without saying. The upshot is an ambiguous, even erratic film.
Perhaps that is why, awards aside, Three Billboards has garnered more than a little criticism. One commentator has accused McDonagh of naïvely subverting the film's principal aim, namely, the elevation of a strong female lead character: "Three Billboards hasn't just stripped Mildred of her sympathy, but her humanity as well. Her unhinged rage — expressions of which are framed as invitations to spout you-go-girl-isms at the screen — makes her look silly instead, and the righteousness of her cause suffers as a result." Tim Parks, writing in The New Yorker, excoriates McDonagh for dangling "caricatures, conflict, and political correctness" as Oscar-bait:
Below the surface of this narrative, a deeper conflict is being waged: the fight of the liberal intelligentsia against the redneck, racist Trump voters of Missouri. (Or, perhaps, against the Brexit folk of northern England; where this story is set is merely a matter of commercial opportunity.) All of the sophistication of modern cinema, the extraordinary competence of modern acting and modern photography, is brought to bear on exposing the vulgarity of the conservative Midwestern provinces. It is not a fair fight. The seductive power of these images, and the powerful sense of reality they convey, covers up a thousand cheap coincidences and blatant manipulations of the story line.
Such reviews of Three Billboards have become so common — from both sides of the political divide — that Wesley Morris has grown exasperated, not just with the film itself, but also with the whole Oscar season: "The movie isn't an explicit work of politics, but it reaches something political in certain people in the same way it touches something emotional in others. And yet in arguing about this movie what I don't want, but where I'm afraid we are — with lots of film this time every year — is in another fight over a movie's politics that manages to leave the movie itself behind. Whose fault is that? We've been seduced and bullied into thinking of the awards season as a process of politics."
The claim that Three Billboards is mostly interested in politics is an important one, because it suggests how McDonagh's art ultimately differs from O'Connor's. In a September 1955 letter, O'Connor laments that "[p]olicy and politics generally go contrary to principle," whereas she identifies herself with the "mystical body" of the Church — an institution that names deviations from principle (including ecclesial deviations) as "sin." Is this, then, what differentiates "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" from Three Billboards — that the former concerns a fallenness that transcends finite human (and thus political) distinctions, while the latter reduces fallenness to precisely such distinctions? If so, this would explain why McDonagh's use of the grotesque softens at film's end, when Dixon's assumption of a new political identity is treated as a Damascene conversion. Here, it seems, was the point all along. In contrast, O'Connor never loses sight of what Rowan Williams calls "the tragic within grace," whereby the possibility of forgiveness is only glimpsed by way of "terrible moments of fatal longing" — to wit, the encounter between the Grandmother and the Misfit, in which they both desire a redemption that, alas, proves out of reach. For O'Connor, Williams adds, "grace is an excess that may make for significance or forgiveness, but needn't."
That this is obviously the case — that divine grace, whatever else it may be, is something that does not always overcome human sin — means that the artist owes it to herself and, indeed, to her readers to render it faithfully. This task is what Williams terms the "serious and costly dispossession of the artist in the work." And it is on this point, finally, that McDonagh breaks from O'Connor. Three Billboards flirts with the grotesque and, to be sure, may be seen as a nod toward O'Connor's legacy. But its humanistic-political horizon means that it never really leaves McDonagh's hand: it offers a "message" from and about him to and for his audience. Where McDonagh pulls strings, O'Connor lets go.


text: These ghats alter in appearance with the dramatic seasonal fluctuations of the river level. Each of the hundred ghats, big and small, is marked by a lingam, and occupies its own special place in the religious geography of the city. Some have crumbled over the years while others continue to thrive. The ghats have a regular stream of pilgrims and visitors – early-morning bathers, priests offering puja, people practicing meditation and yoga. Hindus regard the Ganga as amrita (nectar) the elixir of life, which brings purity to the living and salvation to the dead. The ghats also depict the high esteem in which dying and being cremated at Varanasi is taken by Hindus. Cremations take place at the ghats almost round the clock.

May 23, 2011, marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the 17-point agreement that established Chinese sovereignty over Tibet. Below is a list of significant events in Tibetan history.
April 27, 2011: Lobsang Sangay, a Harvard University legal scholar, is confirmed as the new prime minister of the Tibetan government in exile after Tibetans outside China vote in elections in March.
March 17, 2011: A 20-year-old monk from the Kirti monastery in Sichuan Province who set himself on fire in protest against Chinese rules dies. The monastery was the site of demonstrations during the 2008 uprising of monks and other Tibetans.
March 10, 2011: Dalai Lama announces he is stepping down as political leader on the anniversary of the 1959 failed uprising against China that sent him into exile. He will remain the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism.
January 2010: Talks between representatives of the Dalai Lama and China resume for the first time in 15 months.
December 2008: China cancels a summit with the EU and breaks off talks with France after the EU decides to allow the Dalai Lama to address the European Parliament and French President Nicholas Sarkozy, whose country held the EU presidency at the time, meets with the Tibetan leader.
March 2008: Hundreds of Tibetan monks from monasteries around Lhasa take to the streets in protest against Chinese rule on the anniversary of the 1959 failed uprising and while the world is closely watching China in lead-up to the 2008 Summer Games. The protests soon turn deadly and spread to neighbouring regions with large Tibetan populations.
The number of people killed over several weeks of the demonstrations is in dispute, with Chinese officials saying around 20 died and hundreds were arrested, and Tibetan exile groups putting the death toll at more than 100. At least two people are later executed by China for their role in the uprising.
July 2006: New railway linking the Chinese city of Golmud and Lhasa opens. Tibetans fear the rail link is China's way of bringing in more Han Chinese into the territory and undermining the Tibetan presence.Armed Chinese paramilitary policemen patrol a street near Jokhang temple in Lhasa, Tibet on May 12, 2011. (Reuters)
September 2006: The Dalai Lama is granted honorary Canadian citizenship.
April 2004: Liberal Paul Martin becomes the first Canadian prime minister to meet with the Dalai Lama. The talks are informal, and it is not until 2007 that a Canadian prime minister, Conservative Stephen Harper, meets the Dalai Lama formally and publicly.
September 2002: The first direct formal contact between Dalai Lama representatives and Chinese officials in China since 1993.
March 1999: Beijing designates Tibet an "inseparable part of China" and will open the doors to the Dalai Lama provided he drops his demands for independence for Tibet.

December 1998: The Dalai Lama says he is open to talks with China "without any precondition, anytime, anywhere."
April 1998: Tibetan activist Thupten Ngodup dies after setting himself on fire in protest against police efforts to stop a hunger strike. The event signals a growing restlessness among Tibetans.
November 1996: Indian police detain 50 Tibetan exiles during Chinese President Jiang Zemin's visit.
April 1994: Mobs burn Tibetan office in Dharamsala India, alleging that a Tibetan stabbed an Indian youth to death. Tibetan activists ask Indian government for protection.
August 1993: The Dalai Lama holds a rare news conference to say he is fighting for political autonomy and not complete independence for Tibet, saying there are seven million Chinese and only six million Tibetans in the region.
June 1993: The Dalai Lama threatens to end the Tibetan fight for independence because of violent pro-democracy activists in Lhasa.
August 1992: High-level Tibetan exiles go to China to hold "open-minded" talks with Beijing.A Tibetan woman carries a plastic bottle of water on her back in Naqu in May 2011. (Rooney Chen/Reuters)

1976: China's ban on religious practices is lifted.
1966: Cultural Revolution begins in China. Red Guards enter Lhasa in a campaign designed to stamp out the so-called Four Olds: "old customs, old habits, old culture and old thinking." Religious practices are banned and more than 4,000 monasteries are destroyed.
1965: Tibetan Autonomous Region formally established.

March 1959: Tibetans launch an armed separatist revolt. Thousands die battling Chinese troops. The Dalai Lama flees to India with 80,000 followers, establishing a government in exile.
1956: Scattered uprisings begin throughout Tibet.
May 23, 1951: Tibet and China sign a 17-point agreement under which Tibet becomes a "national autonomous region," ceding control over external affairs to China but nominally retaining autonomy over culture and religion. Tibetans argue their government was forced to sign the agreement and withdrew from it days later. China does not acknowledge that withdrawal.
October 1950: Chinese People's Liberation Army invades Tibet. One of the justifications is the succession of the 10th Panchen Lama with rival candidates supported by Tibet and China.
1913-1914: Britain, Tibet and China hold conferences in India and tentatively work out an agreement under which China maintains control over Tibet and the region is divided into an inner Tibet to be incorporated in China and an outer autonomous Tibet.

OKLAHOMA CITY - It's less than a week from ringing in a new year and one of the biggest celebrations in downtown Oklahoma City is "Opening Night."
Event organizers expect about 50,000 people to attend.
On Friday, organizers were taking care of final preparations leading up to the big party.
"It's absolutely the biggest event that you can find in this city," said Opening Night Co-Chair Jorge Hernandez.
The Arts Council of Oklahoma City is hosting the New Year celebration, between 10 different venues, 40 bands and of course the countdown with the New Year's Eve ball, a night full of fun for everyone.
"The city gets to the chance to come out and bring in the New Year with family and friends with a night full of activities with families to enjoy," said Hernandez.
The New Year's Eve ball is 3,000 pounds of steel and has 3,000 lights.
Most places have the ball drop, but not here.
"We don't want to drop the ball in Oklahoma City like other places do. We just want to keep the ball going up as we continue to grow as a city," said Hernandez.
"This is about the 8th year I've done this," said Pierce.
Jim Pierce is one of the people in charge of moving the ball, an annual tradition he looks forward to.
"It's a neat deal we do here now. We're really putting Oklahoma City on the map," said Pierce.
It takes three men and one crane to raise the New Year's Eve ball on Opening Night.
Then 2014 will be here, another year with another journey for all.
"A safe new year's, I hope for everybody," said Pierce.
Tickets are on sale now, $8.00 in advance at any 711, Homeland Stores or MidFirst Banks.

"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices". ( 2 Corinthians 2:11)
- Demystify to reveal the truth behind worldly music.
- To reveal the severity and the acute impact of worldly music.
- To present authentic biblical means for deliverance from the shackles and claws of Satan through worldly music.
It is of much relevance to understand this teaching to define the inception of music. Many people have suggested and advocated what they believe music must have originated from. But I believe the Bible is the only authentic and indispensable book to give us the true origin of music. To start with, music was created and invented by God Almighty. Music is not just a concept but a ministry which predates the fivefold Office [Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, Prophet and Apostle]. Ezekiel 28:13-18 gives us a little exegesis of Lucifer, (Now called Satan after his fall) and a strong possibility of him been in charge of music in heaven.
"…Gold work of tambourines and pipes was in you (Lucifer)" Ezekiel 28: 13b.
As part of the materials used in Lucifer's creation were tambourines and pipes. Wind instruments encapsulates all musical instruments basically. Having these makeup largely reveals to us the kind of ministry he had. Undoubtedly, Satan was probably the chief musician in heaven. In Isaiah 14:12-14; Revelation 12:7-11 after Satan's fall, he lost his ministry and position in heaven, but still has advantage of knowledge and experience with regards to the dynamics and operation of music to negatively and acutely impact humanity. This explains why apart from other arsenals Satan uses, Worldly Music has been a successful tool to carry out his agenda and impact.
Since time immemorial, music has been a dynamic tool and medium for impressing spiritual realities on the heart (spirit) and mind, which has the ability to influence the entire life of man, towards the execution of a desire and an agenda either of God or Satan.
Worldly music are dynamic mediums by which Satan impresses demonic and diabolic realities on the heart and mind of man, which has the ability to entirely influence the life of man, towards the execution of his desires and agenda.
Satan can only execute his desires and plans on the earth realm only through a terrestrial body. So, he enters covenant with human vessels that genuinely are gifted and talented by God in the area of music. He corrupts and taints the gift to assume a state conducive for his usage. They might sometimes seem to have the appearance and form of God, but are demonised. These individuals even though may not openly declare their fraternity and solidarity with the devil but will profess to be Christians, yet are vessels used by Satan.
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light". 2 Corinthians 11:13-14
Some go to the extent of selling their souls to the devil for riches and fame.
Also, the content of these songs are not just mere words, but are languages with satan's imprint and signature carefully cooked up from the kingdom of darkness to destroy lives and shatter destinies. They might sometimes seem to be "having the form of godliness but denies the power thereof, from such turn away". 2 Timothy 3:5
- Understand that Satan has an agenda and a desire. His agenda and desire are only fertile in certain atmospheres. Worldly music is a tool for creating those atmospheres. Example: certain music are specifically constructed to create an atmosphere of lust conducive for all sought of sexual immorality.
- Satan understands the unbeatable power of the mind. The mind receives information through the senses, crystallizes into desires, is expressed as actions and then becomes habits. This music infiltrates the mind, reshapes the mindset, crystallizes into desires and expressed in actions and habits, which exactly reflects the contents and spirit behind the music.
- He seeks to kill, steal and destroy precious souls and send them to hell. John 10:10
- Ultimately, he seeks to enthrone his kingdom and influence over all inhabitants on earth and cause all to bow down to him. Daniel 3:1-7

New Method of Attacking Disk EncryptionJul 31st, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: Technology
Normally, unpowered DRAM memory chips lose their contents after a several seconds. But a team of researchers have discovered if those chips can be kept very cool, then they might retain their contents for up to an hour or more. According to the researchers' findings, that gives someone plenty of time to read the memory in the chips and recover a user's encryption keys.

Everyday people search for information - the latest news, research data, random facts, etc. However, they continually struggle to find what they are looking for and search inefficiently, whether they are aware of it or not. The goal of last class was to introduce you to different techniques and strategies to help you use search tools more efficiently. Today's class builds on this theme with more advanced web search techniques and strategies.
Long-Term Research Projects and Difficult Queries
More difficult Web queries like ones you might have for long-term research projects require another level of effort and analysis. There are additional tools and tips to help you optimize your web searches and find what you are looking for.
- Also remember that when doing in-depth research on a paper, project, etc., you should gather and save as much information as you can for your records and future use.
- Use information from search results, page characteristics, as well as other content.
- Find and record information like names, concepts, URLs, page titles, unique words, dates, places, facts, and whatever else stands out to you.
- One way to record this information and include links is to create and use a wiki site. Don't have a wiki site? Get one here.
- Students in BIT 330 are encouraged to use their personal wikidot page to do this, as it will save time and be quite beneficial when you are working on your term project.
Advanced Search Tools and Other Resources
Google Sets
- Sometimes finding a set of related nouns and unique names can help you find what you need.
- Google Sets is a great tool to use to help you do this.
- The web page for Google Sets can be found here.
- To use Google Sets, simply go to the Web page, type in nouns or things related to what you want to find in the text boxes. Then press the large set or small set icon to generate a list of related items.
- For example, if I want to know the names of other cities in Michigan, I enter the ones I know like "Ann Arbor," "Detroit," "Lansing," and "Flint," into the text boxes, then press the small or large set icon and get back a list like this:
- dearborn
- holland
- jackson
- battle creek
- bay city
- east lansing
- canton
- kalamazoo
- dearborn heights
- howell
- grand blanc
- and others…
Tools for Comparisons
- There are additional types of search queries you may want to use when looking for more information or if you are trying to make a comparison.
- Examples of some useful queries to use are:
- "types of X"
- "there are * types of X"
- "compared to X"
- "X vs." OR "X versus"
- The use of quotes ("") in your search query ensures that the search engines only returns web pages that contain this exact sequence of words.
- The use of a star (*) in your search query provides a "filler" so search engines don't exclude relevant web pages just because the website didn't have the exact phrase you entered in quotes.
- The use of the word OR in your search query makes it so the search engines return all web pages that contain either of the arguments you entered in quotes.
Resources to Use for Evaluation
You should always evaluate the potential validity and background of the Web page from which you get information. This ensures your sources are credible and all the data you gather is actually true. There are many areas you can use for evaluation:
- Location of Web page
- Speaker's or writer's identity
- Speaker's or writer's motivation
- General credibility of sources
- Speaker's or writer's history
- Speaker's or writer's reputation
These are additional resources you can use for evaluation:
- Evaluating information found on the Internet from Johns Hopkins University
- Information evaluation form from the Cal-Berkeley library.
Often times you read or see information on a web page or in everyday life and you wonder if its actually accurate or true. These are several helpful sites to use to check the accuracy of things you've read or heard:
- Snopes
- VMyths (good for computer-related myths)
- Urban Legends at About.com

If you keep up with the animation we post here at Open Culture, you'll know we have a strong fascination with techniques that require seemingly inhuman levels of devotion to the craft. Sterling earlier examples of that include the pinscreen animation of Alexander Alexeieff and Claire Parker as used to envision Nikolai Gogol's "The Nose" and Modest Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain." More recent practitioners of such severely labor-intensive animation include Nina Paley, the self-taught animated filmmaker who singlehandedly created Sita Sings the Blues, the feature-length jazz-scored adaptation of classic Indian myth we featured in 2009.
Since then, Paley has taken her considerable skills to a form she calls "embroidermation." It looks how it sounds: like frame by embroidered frame sequenced into life. You can get an idea of the process at Paley's blog. She's done this project under the banner of PaleGray Labs, "the textile collaboration of Nina Paley and Theodore Gray" (whose slogan announces their mission to "put the NERD in quiltiNg and EmbRoiDery"). They used it to make Chad Gadya, a three-minute rendering of a traditional passover folk song. (Below it, you can also see another embroidermation made by another artist for Throne's song "Tharsis Sleeps.") PaleGray Labs bills Chad Gadya as "our most ridiculously labor-intensive animation ever," which must also make it the most ridiculously labor-intensive animation we've yet featured on Open Culture. Its creation required not only formidable embroidery abilities, but a deft hand with industrial-strength number-crunching software Mathematica in order to create the processes that allowed them to animate the stitched figures smoothly. If the results capture your imagination, know that you can purchase the original physical materials: "Each unique, approximately 16" square, unbleached cotton matzoh cover contains 6 frames of animation and is signed by the artists," PaleGray's site assures us. Perhaps you'd like to consider stocking up early on gifts for next Passover?

Fun Casino - Casino review
You'll find that there are numerous online casino platforms that are owner by L&L Europe Limited. Fun Casino is one more to add to that pack, and it's one of the company's more recent launches. The site itself has a very fun vibe to it, naturally. Not only that, but it incorporates games from a nice choice of different developers. These include titles from Microgaming, Netent and Amatic Industries. This means that you're able to play games like Allways Win, Cosmic Cat and Blood Suckers. Of course, the casino holds many more perks to it. First of all, there's an intriguing welcome offer that newcomers get to benefit from. This incorporates both free spins and bonus money. Additionally, there are multiple different payment methods that you can utilise in order to add funds to your account. Your gaming will always be done in a safe environment at Fun Casino too, thanks to the two gambling licences it holds. The first of these is from the Malta Gaming Authority while the second is from the UK Gambling Commission.
Welcome Package at Fun Casino
Upon joining the Fun Casino, you'll get to take advantage of various different special promotional offers. The first one of these comes to you as a new player at the site, so you simply need to complete your sign-up in order to receive it. Once you do so, you will be given 11 free spins from the platform. These free spins can be put to use on Starburst, Joker Pro, Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist or Finn and the Swirly Spin. Following on from this, you'll need to make your first deposit into your casino account. This will then provide you with a 50% bonus, which has a maximum value to it of €499. You'll also receive an extra 100 free spins to use on the same games mentioned before. Finally, when you make your second deposit, you'll receive a further 50% bonus. Again, this has a maximum value to it of €499. Therefore, the welcome package consists of 111 free spins and €998 in bonus money. Full Bonus T&C Apply!
|Bonus Details
|11 No Deposit Free Spins*
|1st Deposit
|50% up to €499 + 100 Free Spins*
|2nd Deposit
|50% up to €499*
* Full Bonus T&C Apply! New customers only, min deposit £10, wagering 50x, max bet £5 with bonus funds. 11 Free Spins on registration (max withdrawal is £100). 50% up to £499 bonus + 100 Free Spins on 1st deposit. 50% up to £499 bonus on 2nd deposit. No max cash out on deposit offers. Welcome bonus excluded for players depositing with Skrill or Neteller. Eligibility is restricted for suspected abuse. Gambling may be addictive. Play responsibly. 18+. BeGambleAware.org!
Welcome Package Terms and Conditions
All bonuses at online casinos come with terms and conditions attached to them. These explain how players can receive, use and continue on with the bonus and free spins. You'll need to make sure that you inform yourself on these rules and regulations. Doing so will keep you fully in-the-know about all of the terms behind it. So that you can check these out prior to joining the casino, we have brought the conditions together for you here:
Bonus Funds on First and Second Deposits
• To receive the welcome bonus, a minimum deposit of €10 is necessary.
• The welcome bonus is available to players from the following countries: Austria, Canada, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, India, New Zealand, South Africa and Switzerland.
• Players with active bonuses on their account cannot play in the live casino or withdraw cash until the wagering requirements have been met. The wagering requirements relating to the bonus stand at 50 times the bonus amount.
• Bonuses are valid for 30 days, in which time the wagering requirements must be completed.
• Slot games and any titles in the 'Other Games' category will contribute 100% of your bets to the completion of the wagering requirements.
• Video poker, live casino and table games will not contribute anything to the wagering requirements.
• Players with an active bonus can make additional deposits to count towards the wagering requirements.
• Players can opt out of receiving bonuses at the casino by marking the relevant check box in their profiles.
• Players can bet up to €5 when they have an active bonus on their account.
• Any player who uses Skrill or Neteller to make their first deposit will not be able to claim the welcome offer.
111 Free spins
• Free spin wins are considered to be bonus money, meaning that they also need to be wagered a total of 50 times before you can make a withdrawal.
• Within 24 hours of receipt of the bonus funds from winnings, players must complete their wagering requirements.
• Registered players who have not yet deposited and have only received free spins, the minimum withdrawal stands at €40.
• Registered players with no deposits before activating their freespins cannot withdraw more than €100.
Welcome Bonus Verdict
We'll always be fans of welcome offers that incorporate both free spins and bonus funds. And this is especially true when it comes to the reception of no deposit free spins. It's a little bit unfair that Neteller or Skrill users cannot receive such by using one of these to make their first deposit. Additionally, the maximum bets of €5 per round at Fun Casino - although widely used by online casinos - while a bonus is active is not such a great part. It makes completing the wagering requirements take much longer. However, overall the welcome offer is appealing enough within itself.

How to Do Your Laundry While Traveling
Traveling and doing laundry are two things that should be done separately. However, if you like living out of a backpack, you are bound to do your laundry from time to time. No mater if you only have two T-shirts and two pairs of pants, you still need to keep them clean.

In the wake of the worst American offshore oil disaster in decades, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar is scrambling on several fronts to address the perception that his administration has been more occupied with eco-spin than actual environmental reform.
Having announced a plan to split the Minerals Management Service, the agency responsible for overseeing offshore drilling, into separate environmental enforcement and royalty collection entities, the Secretary is now bringing in another Colorado boy to oversee the restructuring: Chris Henderson, the former investment banker and chief operating officer of the Hickenlooper administration whom Salazar appointed last year as "recovery czar," in control of the DOI's $3 billion in stimulus funds.
Henderson is a University of Colorado grad (summa cum laude, if you please) who's used to dealing in the kind of staggering sums of money that MMS collects as tribute from energy companies seeking to drill on federal lands or offshore waters. (Next to the IRS, MMS is the feds' largest source of domestic revenue.) He joins DOI assistant secretary Rhea Suh in spearheading Salazar's plan to raise environmental standards and emphasize "best technology and cutting edge science" at MMS.
No easy task, in light of the agency's troubled history of cozy relationships with the industry it's supposed to regulate. But the larger economic issues around the offshore drilling debate might also deserve some scrutiny from a man as familiar with the capital markets as Henderson. The above graphic accompanied a recent article in The New Republic by Salazar's old chum Al Gore that uses the Deepwater Horizon debacle as a launching point to question the entire assumption that offshore drilling somehow strengthens our "energy security." The actual amount of oil coming from expanded drilling is, as the illustration indicates, not all that significant in the scheme of our energy addictions.

Henderson might want to cogitate whether the venture makes sense -- or dollars and cents -- compared to the environmental costs of the current crisis. But that's somewhere down the road. Right now the challenge at hand is how to make lemonade out of an oil slick.

Having become a student again, I recently got this urge to teach, and have been applying around for a teaching position. If I were to conduct a class in math (or a subject that uses math extensively), I'd keep reminding myself of the following, which all came to me sitting through lectures:
1. I'd choose a good textbook. Students need very good/excellent texts, so that they can study at their own pace. Every lecture should be covered by text that the student can go back to if they miss a point or don't understand things at first hearing. Lectures are a bad way to introduce hard concepts. Bullet-point presentations are even worse, because the teacher can now go faster through the prepared text. Distributing bullet-point presentations as course materials is unsatisfactory. They should be treated only as course outlines (see next point). There is no substitute for a course textbook. Spend time and effort choosing it (them).
2. I'd be very specific about the course curriculum. Students who want to read ahead or even finish the course materials earlier should be able to do so. The students should always be informed in advance about the coverage of the next class session, so that those who want to read ahead, or who need to miss class, may do so without missing the lessons.
3. I'd make students spend their class and off-class hours learning course concepts by reading through the text carefully and applying course concepts by solving problems/exercises. The only way to learn is to accumulate "flying hours", i.e. hours of practice. Here are some ways to encourage stepping through examples and problems: a) give easy, graded take home exams after each class session, which call help pull up the students' average; b) compile a set of, say 100-200 problems that will cover the entire course curriculum, with 3 or more questions per topic, and distribute this problem set at the start of the course; c) announce to the class in advance that all exams (midterms, finals, others) will be picked at random from this problem set (i.e., if they take the time to learn to solve the entire set, they will surely get excellent marks.)
4. I'd encourage students to ask questions. Most students are shy about asking questions for fear of sounding stupid. To encourage them, make them write their questions on a piece of paper, signed with an alias (so the teacher may follow the progress of the alias.)
5. I'd help clear away obstacles to the students' self-learning. In particular, the teacher should be immediately available to help them get out of dead-ends. This occurs when a concept is so intractable to them that they can not grasp it without help, and they are unable to make any further advance until this learning block is cleared away. Thus, in class, students should either be working on problems or asking the teacher's help in clearing away such blocks. The teacher can use the questions and the written answers to exercises to identify which concepts are most difficult for students and to conduct special lectures about these concepts.
6. I'd conduct a math class like a swimming class. The coach stays dry, standing by the pool side. The students are in the water, learning to swim. In math, the pool is the chalk and blackboard, pencil and paper.
7. I'd give exams that are fair. Stick closely to the text as much as possible. Do not ambush students with surprise topics or trick questions. As a rule: ask many easy questions, a few hard ones. Give students a second chance; if most did not get a mid-terms problem, ask it again in the finals. Think of it as a bonus question.

The Killing - First two episodes (Review)
Review by Jack Foley
FIRST off, I have to admit to not having seen the acclaimed Danish original TV series upon which this US remake of The Killing is based. So, with this in mind I have to say I was deeply impressed with these first two episodes.
Though set in Seattle, this AMC re-do employs a European sensibility in look and design that reminded me of the BBC's Wallander as well as, to a lesser degree, David Fincher's Se7en.
Like Mad Men, the programme for which AMC is now famed, it also didn't talk down to its viewers, rather setting things up in slow, deliberate fashion and treating every character as an individual worth getting to know.
The plot follows a similar path and is focused on the disappearance and subsequent murder of teenager Rosie Larsen, the daughter of Stan (Brent Sexton) and Mitch (Michelle Forbes).
Heading the investigation is Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos), a strong, silent female detective who wants to leave Seattle for a new life in California, but whose sense of decency and intrigue requires her to stay.
Joining her, meanwhile, is the young, brash partner – Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) – who is supposed to be replacing her.
Together, they make an intriguing chalk and cheese partnership – the former silently analysing situations as they play out before her with a piercing stare, the latter employing more hot-headed techniques to cut to the chase of a scenario.
Again, it reminded me somewhat of the relationship between Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt's characters in Se7en – with Kinnaman's desperate to impress young rookie very similar to Pitt. Perhaps the rain-swept Seattle locations also helped to draw those comparisons.
But The Killing is very much its own beast. Thus far, the investigation is only on day 2. Day 1 established there was a murder to investigate, while day 2 set about providing some disturbing clues and some intriguing characters.
Although no obvious contender has emerged as yet, a developing side-plot involving slick mayoral candidate Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) and his team looks almost certain to play a big part (given that Rosie's body was eventually discovered in one of his campaign cars), while several of Rosie's friends from college also seem to be acting shadily.
But episodes one and two was more content to establish possibilities, while dropping fascinating titbits about the central characters.
Enos and Kinnaman look set to become a fascinating partnership and I already look forward to seeing how their relationship develops, while Brent Sexton and Michelle Forbes were similarly excellent as the distraught mother and father slowly coming to terms with the news of their daughter's murder. It's a measure of the show's quality, thus far, that Rosie's loss is sorely felt – and much of the credit for that belongs to the latter two actors.
Impressive, too, were the atmospheric production values, which add a nice sense of foreboding, and the slick script, which treated its viewers as adults without feeling the need to spell things out for them.
I'm told that the Danish version was even more sparse and, perhaps, even more impressive. But so far, this American remake fits the bill superbly. It already has me hooked.
The Killing is on Channel 4 on Thursday nights from 9pm..
Watched The Killing in the US and it is awesome. Just dont expect a neatly wrapped ending.Jane Jul 12 #

Marquette stops Butler, 69-62
Mayo's big second half paces Golden Eagles
MILWAUKEE — Todd Mayo scored 17 points off the bench and led a second-half charge from a 10-point deficit to help Marquette beat Butler 69-62 on Tuesday night.
Mayo hit seven field goals after halftime and the Golden Eagles (13-10, 5-5 Big East) avoided a regular-season sweep to the Bulldogs (12-10, 2-8).
The junior guard riled up the crowd after tipping away a rebound for a steal, then going the length of the court for a three-point play off a layup and a 62-57 lead with 3:02 left.
Marquette pulled away from there after shutting down the paint against Butler, who got 16 points from Kellen Durham.
Freshman forward Andrew Chrabascz drove the paint for most of his 10 points, all in the second half.
Elijah Brown's jumper with 13:03 left gave Butler a 43-33 lead before Marquette started chipping away.

An "evil" conman who controlled the lives of his victims while pretending to be an M15 spy has been jailed for life.
Robert Hendy-Freegard, 34, spent 10 years ruling the lives of men and women and using their money to enjoy a millionaire's life-style.
The semi-literate ex-car salesman nicknamed "The Puppetmaster" ruthlessly exploited the weaknesses of others and callously commandeered their lives.
He systematically removed his victims' self-respect, turning into them into virtual slaves thanks to his claims that he was an MI5 agent, and with his James Bond-type tales of shadowy IRA killers.
Five of his victims were women, who he seduced, getting engaged to nearly all of them.
They included a solicitor, a psychologist, a company director and a recently married PA, who left her husband. Hendy-Freegard obtained a million pounds from his victims. One ended up sleeping on park benches, living on a slice of Mars Bar a day and foraging for fresh water in public lavatories.
A student, one of two men to fall prey to his Svengali-like powers of persuasion, handed over £300,000.
Because the student thought he was being recruited to the fight against terrorism, he allowed himself to be beaten black and blue to toughen him up, before abandoning his university finals for a three-year life on the run fleeing imaginary Republican gangs.
London's Blackfriars Crown Court heard he and some of the others were left trembling in fear from Hendy-Freegard's explosive temper and claims that assassins were stalking their every move.
And while they suffered, their tormentor, whose motto was "lies have to be big to be convincing", used the cash to buy top-of-the-range cars, designer suits, expensive meals and five-star holidays in Brazil and elsewhere.
Hendy-Freegard, of High Street, Blyth, Nottinghamshire, was convicted after an earlier eight-month trial of 20 offences of theft, deception and "kidnapping by fraud" between 1993 and 2003.
After the case was adjourned for psychiatric reports, police branded him "evil" and said he was in a class of his own.

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration
~ Ansel Adams
My time at William Anelay's is coming to an end and I can say that the three weeks have literally flown past. The huge variety of projects that I had the opportunity to visit shared light onto every possible area in the heritage conservation field and I can honestly say that during the couple of weeks that I spent with the project and site managers as well as the architects and quantity surveyors gave more knowledge about the reality of the heritage sector than any module at the university. I know that the knowledge that I gained during the placement was just the first paragraph of the introduction on how to give new life to old buildings and I am ready to go on exploring!
I am sincerely thankful to all the people at William Anelay Ltd who were willing to show me around and answer my sometimes never ending list of questions. Especially, I would like to express my gratitude to Ellen Palmer who helped to organise all the site visits and provided me with background information about each project and Charles Anelay who agreed to take me on this placement.
Thank you for the amazing 3 weeks!

As a communications professional, why did you decide to pursue an M.B.A. degree?
I wanted more of a business background. My entire background had been in communications and marketing, and I wanted to contribute at a higher level. I knew I couldn't do that with just my undergraduate degree. The M.B.A. program helped me understand the business side of things, which has allowed me to become a more effective member of the management team.
What factors made you select Point Park?
First, the location. I work Downtown so it was really easy for me to get to campus after work. Also, I liked the flexible class schedules offered. I ended up taking courses in the evenings and on Saturdays. My schedule varied between the traditional 15-week semester to the accelerated and fast track formats. It was really helpful. The third reason was because Point Park didn't require the GMAT. I could start right away as long as I was accepted.
In what ways has your M.B.A degree helped you advance professionally?
Last year, I was promoted from marketing manager to director of marketing. The fact that I was pursuing my M.B.A. degree helped in the decision-making process. Also, I've gained many intangibles. I'm more confident, I communicate better and I look at things from a wider lens. Overall, I'm able to contribute more to my company.
In addition, having a master's degree helped me land an adjunct faculty teaching position in the Department of English at the University of Pittsburgh. Three years ago, before having my M.B.A. degree, I wouldn't have been prepared, let alone qualified, to get in front of 22 students and teach for two and a half hours.
What were some of your favorite experiences at Point Park?
I really enjoyed the students I had classes with at Point Park. Most of my classmates were full-time working professionals, had families just like me and experience in their fields, so that all came together for interesting classroom discussions. There were a lot of international students as well. What those students had gone through just to get to this point and the added dimension they brought to class was absolutely fascinating.
As far as specific classes, I was most surprised that my favorite classes were the analytical-based courses like economics, accounting and statistics. I loved my accounting for managers and forensic accounting classes with Dr. Maharaja and my organizational behavior course with Dr. Langbein. My strategic planning class with Dr. Breslove was great as well. He really encouraged students to think outside of the box and approach things from an open-minded view instead of a textbook theory approach.
What are your career goals?
I will continue to develop my leadership skills. Being an effective leader is so important, for professional development on not just yourself, but for your team and the whole organization. Eventually, I see myself as part of an executive management team in a role where I can contribute to corporate growth.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
For anyone considering Point Park, I definitely say go for it. It's fantastic. The M.B.A. professors were amazing. The courses were challenging but not impossible. I'm really impressed with how much Point Park has changed and grown since I started the M.B.A. program in 2011.

When I saw Google's support of "Ban Bossy" by Lean In creator Sheryl Sandberg, I was fully prepared to hate it. I clicked on the link expecting to see more Sandberg-branded sexism under the guise of feminism (women, you're just not working hard enough!), and instead was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Ban Bossy raises the question: why are boys so often described in ways that affirm authority, while girls are so often described in ways that imply overreach?
From Ban Bossy:
When it comes to girls and ambition, the pattern is clear: girls are discouraged from leading. When a little boy asserts himself, he's called a "leader." Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded "bossy"—a precursor to words like "aggressive," "angry," and "too ambitious" that plague strong female leaders. Calling girls bossy is one of many things we do to discourage them from leading. It's no wonder that by middle school, girls are less interested in leadership roles than boys, a trend that continues into adulthood.
Here's Beyonce with more information:
One of the things I hate about "lean in" feminism is that it leaves sexism intact while putting the onus on women to fix it, or work around it. What I like about Ban Bossy is that it confronts sexism at its source. Here, the message isn't for girls to put their little noses to the grindstone; this campaign largely targets adults, calling for reflection on internalized sexism. Ban Bossy flags a specific example of sexist doublespeak and asks adults to stop and think when they hear that word, to catch themselves before they propagate sexist double standards. This thing is potentially most important when you're young, which is probably why the Girl Scouts got involved.
Is the word "bossy" inherently bad? Obviously not. (I mean: HELLO Kellis!) Overly authoritative behavior is a thing that exists in this world, and it's useful to have a word that describes it. It's not the word itself that is unsettling (arguably we could just reclaim the word rather than "ban" it); it's how it's applied. "Banning" the word "bossy" is hyperbolic. After all, we wouldn't have a language anymore if we removed all the words that have been used to oppress women. But I suspect the creators of Ban Bossy phrased it this way knowing that the strong language would spark debate.
We've seen banned word discussions play out before, and honestly, I wish Ban Bossy had gone another route in their marketing. However, I do think it's worth raising discussion about the larger pattern of how language is used to sneakily further sexism.
Because as we all know, "bossy" isn't the only word used to undermine women's authority. In my adult professional life, it's usually "bitchy" that gets muttered or jokingly ascribed. At my first engineering job, the floor manager liked to tell me how "feisty" I was – which I think had a racial aspect to it, because he also liked to compare my features to various Latina movie stars. No one has ever really called me "sassy," but I frequently hear that descriptor pinned on assertive young black women. These words each have their distinct flavors, but they generally serve a similar function: to backhandedly reinforce the idea that it isn't normal for women to be self-assured, speak up, or be in charge.
My hope for Ban Bossy is that it gets more people thinking about their part in the system. I hope people will hear the message of Ban Bossy and make the jump to the next conclusion that, "hey, these other words aren't great either," and "isn't it eerily similar how women are dismissed based on appearances but not men," and "wow, it's really wrong that women's work is seen as less valuable than men's, we should totally raise the minimum wage and get to work on issues of economic justice, wtf is wrong with everything and everyone."
I realize this is asking a lot.
Mostly, I want this campaign to be successful, and I want to see its success snowball. I want it not to be a fluke, or the one "women's issue" that gets funding and attention this quarter. I want Ban Bossy to actively and explicitly help people make those connections, and work their high profile connections, resources and visibility to focus on the follow through.
I want actual change.

Cooperative extension contest: Test your home for radon
January is National Radon Action Month and the Nevada Radon Education Program at University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) is sponsoring a "Test Your Home for Radon and Win Contest" for residents of Douglas, Carson City and Washoe counties.
The "Test Your Home for Radon and Win Contest" will provide two Carson City, Douglas or Washoe county homeowners with a $1,500 credit towards the installation of a radon mitigation system.
"We hope the contest encourages more homeowners to test their homes for radon," said Susan Howe, Nevada Radon Education Program director. "We're adding the incentive of winning two $1,500 credits toward two radon mitigation systems to increase awareness of the importance of mitigating homes with elevated radon levels."
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the decay of uranium in rocks and soil. It has no smell or taste and you can't see it, but this gas can accumulate to harmful levels when trapped indoors. If you haven't tested your home for it, you could be exposing your family to a known carcinogen that can cause lung cancer over time. In fact, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers and kills more people than secondhand smoke, drunken driving, falls in the home, drowning or home fires. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 21,000 Americans die each year from lung cancer caused by indoor radon exposure. The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, American Cancer Society, Centers for Disease Control, National Cancer Institute and the World Health Organization all recognize radon as a serious national health problem.
Radon can be a problem in any type of home, old or new, tightly sealed or drafty, as well as any type of foundation such as a basement, crawl space or slab. Because radon is a gas, any building with contact to the soil — including your home, school or office building — is at risk.
"Of course, not everyone exposed to radon will develop lung cancer, but the higher the level of radon and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk," Howe said. "But it is a preventable risk, and one that your family can easily test for."
Short-term test kits are offered at no cost at Carson City, Douglas and Washoe County Cooperative Extension offices, as well as several partner locations. For a complete list of locations offering test kits, visit the radon program website, http://www.RadonNV.com, or call the Radon Hot Line at 1-888-RADON10 (1-888-723-6610).
A short-term radon test kit will give you an accurate, easy snapshot of the radon level in your home. These screening kits are placed in your home for about three days to take an air sample. You send the kit to the lab for the test results. The kit includes detailed instructions, the test, a postage-paid mailer and all of the lab fees.
"Radon test results collected since 1989 show that the potential for having elevated radon levels in Carson City, Douglas and Washoe county homes is high," said Howe. "Of the 2,076-plus homes tested in Douglas County, 41 percent had elevated radon levels. Carson City is not far behind, with 37 percent of 700 homes, and Washoe County has nearly 20 percent of 3,539 homes tested having elevated radon levels."
Since September 2007, UNCE – working with Nevada State Health Division – has distributed more than 17,000 radon test kits. The results of these tests provide a good indication of radon potential throughout Nevada, with 12 counties showing a high potential for elevated radon. The data from more than 8,533 tests show that homes in 13 counties (Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Washoe and White Pine counties) have greater than 10 percent probability of having elevated levels of radon, and 25.8 percent of all homes tested in Nevada have levels higher than the action level established by the EPA.
"It is important to realize that testing a house for radon is a preventative step towards protecting your family against this naturally occurring health risk," Howe said. "The tests are simple to perform and completely free, so why not test?"
To qualify for the contest, homeowners must complete a radon test between Dec. 1, 2010 and Feb. 28, 2011, using a radon test kit provided by the Nevada Radon Education Program. Two winning entries will be chosen from tests having a radon level of 4 pCi/l or greater from tests completed in Carson City, Douglas and Washoe counties.
"The EPA recommends mitigating homes that have radon levels at 4 pCi/l or greater," said Howe. "The higher the radon level in your home, the faster you should take action to reduce your exposure. The EPA and the Nevada State Health Division believe that you should try to reduce your radon levels as much as possible. A certified mitigator can install a radon-reduction system, which is very effective in reducing radon levels and most homes can be reduced to under 4.0 pCi/l. "
The Test Your Home for Radon and Win Contest is offered to Nevada residents. To win, the homeowner must be a legal resident of the United States, be 18 years of age or older. The house must be located in Carson City, Douglas or Washoe counties and must be the homeowner's primary residence.
Preliminary winning homeowners will be notified by mail by March 21 with a notification letter outlining contest Terms and Conditions. In addition, a second, confirming radon test will be required to finalize the process. Complete contest details can be seen on the Radon in Nevada website at http://www.RadonNV.com.
The final winners will be announced by April 30, 2011, with the mitigations taking place by May 31, 2011.
"Two homeowners will receive a $1,500 credit for a radon system to be installed by certified mitigator Derrick Carpenter of Dependable Home Solutions of Gardnerville who has volunteered his services. Professional Discount Supply of Colorado Springs, CO, is donating the fans," said Howe. "The credit could cover the complete cost of mitigating most slab or basement homes and would be a significant savings on a crawl space home."
