You should think long and where you think it will be lighting, because when the lighting is installed, it is quite difficult to move. What many people do not see is that lighting is among the most important facets of your kitchen. First of all, lighting your kitchen is an important type of activity lighting. Choosing the best lighting for your kitchen requires special attention to the use of a fixture.
Fixtures are simply additional decorations with functions that can be placed in any room, but it is essential not to add beauty to a specific room, so you must make a careful selection of kitchen ceiling lights. They may also have a light control switch connected to the lamp body or connected to the power cord. Ask someone to help you replace a ceiling light. For your general lighting, you need to select a ceiling light with a high color rendering that provides light for a lot of space.
Your kitchen is a crucial part of your home lifestyle, and it makes sense to imbue the space with a similar style and personality that leads to the rest of the house. Since kitchens require a higher degree of brightness than most other rooms in a home, you may need a few more lights or brighter lights than you would use in different rooms of the same size . Renewing your kitchen is an important project for virtually all homeowners and one of the main features of your update is lighting. Cooking In today’s world, cooking is often at the center of family activity. When determining the amount of recessed lights for the kitchen, consider general lighting and work lighting.

This weekend, Matt and I had the privilege to share some of our testimony with Trinity Church in Lansing, Michigan.
The courage and humility with which Pastor Marvin Williams presented this topic was astounding. God bless you, Trinity, and all who support their ministries.
God bless you, too, Bruce, for so vulnerably offering your own journey with Jesus.
If you are interested in having us share something similar to this at your church or ministry location, feel free to email me at laurie@himhministries.com.
Also, Matt recently found an office space to begin counseling in Lowell, Michigan. We do not offer reparative or change-orientation therapy, but rather a place for anyone to encounter healing for wounds as opposed to techniques to change. If you are interested in receiving such counseling, please email Matt and matt@himhministries.com.
I know I have been saying this for a while now, but there have been some behind-the-scenes hiccups with the workbook publication. I will keep you posted when it is complete! We are working hard to serve you in the timing God allows.
Thank you for your ongoing support. Isn't it nice to know we are not alone...no matter our struggle?
Matt & Laurie! I just found you "by chance" - haha! By God who loves us. I am sharing you with my Counseling center, church, & spreading the word to my clients and anyone who struggles with sexual brokenness. I volunteered with Exodus International when I lived in Orlando & wept when they closed. Took a stand for sexual healing/integrity while attending seminary & encountered unbelievable opposition. Now launching a restoration ministry at my church in Houston based on Pure Desire. So happy to find you! Praying for you & grateful beyond words for your ministry, message & powerful videos & testimonies. Thank You, Abba, for leading me to HIMH!
Thanks so much, Barb! Let us know how we can help and support you more. Thanks for reading and sharing!

That’s how New York Magazine‘s Jennifer Gonnerman describes the Tryon Residential Center in her lengthy article this week on the upstate New York juvenile prison. [h/t: my favorite East Villager, Casey Degen.] Apart from being the place where a young Mike Tyson learned to box, Tryon doesn’t have a great track record: in recent years, kids have suffered concussions, broken bones, and even — in the case of 15-year-old Darryl Thompson of the Bronx — accidental death at the hands of staff there. (Thompson’s death was medically ruled a homicide, but the grand jury declined to indict.) The DOJ threatened to step in if conditions didn’t improve, Governor Paterson’s started a task force, and last week Mayor Bloomberg announced plans to restructure New York City’s juvenile justice system so as to incarcerate fewer teenage offenders.
To the kids from New York City, Tryon feels like Siberia. “It’s like being in outer space,” says a teenager from Linden Boulevard. The sun disappears by mid-afternoon, and the snow never seems to stop. To get from their cottage to the school building, the boys pull on hats, gloves, and boots, then walk a quarter-mile through howling wind. From their bedrooms, they can hear guns firing—not the sound of a drive-by but of deer hunters. The kids talk to their families on the telephone, but many of them never get a visit. It’s difficult to get here without a car, and the trip by train and cab from New York City can run close to $200 round trip, an impossibly steep price for most parents.

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you saw my whole story. Instagram is a wonderful way to share pictures and I decided to use the instagram story to tell the tale. Come on by and follow the fun.
So how did this crazy 8 day sweater experience go . . . pretty good. I’m really happy with it! It’s super soft and cozy, has some fun details at hem, cuff and neck, fully fashioned shaping, and best of all . . . it’s the first sweater I think I’ve EVER designed that’s all stockinette, that means it will be CRAZY easy to knit this at other gauges or to fit you perfectly.
Stay tuned for the pattern. Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter for the a coupon.
I love it! I like Ring Around Rhinebeck!
How about “Road to Rhinebeck”?
Road to Rhinebeck… Love it!
How can I get this pattern? Since you knit it in 8 days, I’d call it either Chanukah or Miracle.
Just stayed tuned. The newsletter group will be the first to know when the pattern is released!
I like Ring Around Rhinebeck.
I feel that Road to Rhinebeck is perfect as is.
Road to Rhinebeck was my first thought!
I saw you at Rhinebeck. When I saw your sweater the name that came to mind was Judy. As in Judy Jetson.
Some great suggestions. Key words that “ring”: ring or rings, rhinebeck, space, eight. However, I love Cordelia. Great suggestion. Do add to that theme, Cordelia’s Rings.
how about “Eight Days A Week” ?
Sugar Belle. Reminiscent of Aunt Babe’s handmade wedding cake sugar bells.

10/16/13 Update: President delivers fact filled speech to Senate, announces strategic plan, end to athletic subsidies!
Pac-12 media contract revenues from ESPN/FOX, our Pac-12 network partners, the new Rose Bowl agreement and the new College Football Championship agreement will substantially increase funding for athletics. In several years, there will be net funds transferred from athletics to the broader university community for academic and support purposes. Provost Randhawa and Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis and colleagues will determine future uses of those funds.
Together, these factors will position us to provide an average compensation increase for faculty of 3% or more in each of the next several years beyond 2014.
Good thing UO has a faculty union.
In my view, the administrative governance responsibilities only work when important policies and practices are informed by consultation and advice from the faculty, staff and students. Such consultation and advice can only be meaningful if it takes place in a spirit of transparency and knowledge and in a timely manner. There’s not much use in consulting after the fact – or not much use consistent with these ideas of governance, anyway.
So there’s an essential advisory role for the senate, even on administrative matters – an essential role on those matters that are central to the execution of our mission, like budget and finance, space and capital planning, athletics and of course participation in the selection and the evaluation of academic administrators.
1) I notice that the budget for the Jaqua Center athlete only tutoring has increased from $1.8M in 2012 to $2.3M for 2014. As you know this money is paid by the academic side, specifically out of the Provost’s budget. I’m wondering if you know the reasons for the increase, and whether or not additional increases are forecast?
2) You mentioned that there had been a dramatic increase in the number of “students of color”. I’ve heard that there was a recent change in the definition used to classify these students. Do you know how much of the increase is driven by this change?
Is this still the plan, and if so what is the new target date?
4) You discussed planning for the new board. Who is in charge of drafting the board by-laws, and interfacing with the members, and is there a plan for involving the Senate in those discussions?
I’ll post the answers when I get them.
I hope your academic year is off to a great start. I’ve enjoyed meeting new students and welcoming our outstanding new faculty and staff members to campus at events marking the beginning of school, from “Unpack the Quack” and our neighborhood welcome walk to the annual new faculty picnic. Since the close of our previous academic and fiscal years, we’ve made significant progress on a number of fronts that affect the university, and I’m pleased to take this opportunity to share a few highlights with you.
I frequently mention our dual obligations of access and quality that are the foundation upon which our university is built. As we now plan for the UO’s future, it is critical that we elevate both, for quality that is limited only to those with the means to afford it does not serve the public interest, and access without excellence is a hollow promise.
We are on the right trajectory, as this year’s freshman class demonstrates. Numbers won’t be final until the fifth week of classes, but we can say with confidence that this incoming class will break records in several key areas linked to both quality and access. It is the most academically prepared class we have ever enrolled, with an average 1126 SAT and 3.6 GPA. Nearly 27 percent of freshmen are from underrepresented populations, and among Oregon freshmen, 37.6 percent are Pell eligible. Our total enrollment will hold steady at about 24,500 as planned, with about 5,200 new students, 54 percent of them Oregonians, coming to the UO.
We are focusing intently on reducing financial barriers to attendance for Oregon residents, who continue to be hit by ongoing reductions in state funding that have shifted the burden of paying for education onto the shoulders of students and their families. This year, we increased financial aid to in-state students by 75 percent through scholarships aimed at high-achieving Oregon students, such as Summit and Apex, and the outstanding Pathway Oregon program.
It was a summer of construction around campus, with about $300 million in physical improvements in the works. Recently launched projects include renovations and classroom expansions at Straub and Earl Halls, a major expansion of the Student Rec Center, significant upgrades and expansions of the Science Commons and Research Library and the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, and maintenance involving everything from seismic upgrades and new roofs to sewer-system improvements. Soon, the long-awaited renovation of the Erb Memorial Union will begin.
I anticipate that such infrastructure improvements will become easier to realize as we adopt a new governance model that will provide greater flexibility in the way we manage the institution. The long-sought move to governance by local institutional boards was approved by the legislature and signed into law this summer. I am grateful to the Lane County delegation and many other supportive legislators, Governor Kitzhaber and his staff, the UO Foundation, and the UO Alumni Association for their partnership in bringing about this momentous change this spring. The governor has appointed a 14-member board for the UO that reflects a remarkable range of experience and expertise. Ten of our new board members are alumni, and all bring a commitment and dedication to the future of this university that will serve us, and the state, well. I look forward to working closely with them as we determine new ways to finance the institution and support programs and practices that will strategically focus our resources to improve access, elevate excellence, and secure our position among our peer research universities. We must develop the means to better support research, to address threats from sequestration and cuts in federal funding, and to close the innovation deficit that compromises our nation’s capacity to remain the world’s leader in innovation, creativity, and discovery.
At the heart of the university’s ability to carry out its mission are, of course, our faculty and staff. I am pleased that we are beginning the new academic year with new contracts for our union-represented faculty and staff, and with a schedule of compensation increases in place for faculty, classified staff, and officers of administration. At the same time, I recognize the pressures that faculty and staff are feeling from successive years of declining state investment and burgeoning undergraduate enrollment. Your work with our students, in the classroom and in informal settings, is what distinguishes this university and creates the quality educational experiences that will define your students’ futures. Improving the teaching and research environment for our outstanding faculty and staff is among my top priorities, and essential to our success in realizing our aspirations of access, excellence, and innovation.
7/23/2013: Pdf here. May 8th 2013 Senate discussion of this resolution, which passed 19 to 4, here. Video here.
Of course these are just words and not actions. And the words are very different than the angry, dismissive ones we got from Sharon Rudnick and Tim Gleason today, when these subsidies were raised in bargaining.
This letter is now 2 weeks old. So, has Gottfredson’s position on this changed, is he telling different people different things, or did his bargaining team not get the memo?
9/26/2013: As near as I can tell UO has been spending about $50K a month on Sharon Rudnick and Kate Grado from HLGR to do the negotiating with the union, and another $30K or so a month for lawyers and consultants to write Barbara Altmann’s “fact check” website. That’s a lot of money for the rather pathetic FAQ they’ve posted on the union contract, here.
Q. Won’t faculty salaries remain far below our peers and AAU comparators?
A. The salary package — which includes across-the-board raises, merit increases, promotion raises and money for tenure track and tenured faculty equity and NTTF salary floors — will move faculty salaries in the right direction. It is also important to look at total faculty compensation (salary + benefits). When benefits are included the gap closes substantially between the University and our comparator universities.
c. Step 3 (as early as FY 2012/13 and no later than FY 2013/2014), increases based on internal equity and merit.
The total amount of funding made available for salary increases by the College in Step 3 will be at least the amount necessary to increase the College’s average salaries to make up the remaining distance to the average salaries of the OUS 8 comparators.
Q: How long, Provost Coltrane, how long?
9/23/2013: A: Seven years and $70K, best case scenario.
Interim Provost Scott Coltrane’s email about the new faculty contract is here. He offers to answer questions. I’ve got a few, and I’ll keep you posted on the answers. You’ll have a chance to ask him yourself during the public presentation he will have to make as candidate for the permanent UO Provost job.
Meanwhile, here’s the math on how long it will take to get to comparators, and an estimate of what you’ll lose meanwhile – about $70,000, lower bound.
The next contract will need to be 10%, 10% to reach this goal, which the administration has purported to want to achieve since the 1998 Senate White paper.
In the scheme of a $800 million budget, we’re not talking about a lot of money. But it’s not going to happen unless we spend the next 18 months exposing Johnson Hall’s money wasting activities, and convince the new UO board that faculty are more important to their university’s future than more administrative bloat, sports subsidies, and expensive White Stag distractions.
Coltrane Op-Ed supports admin over faculty, sports over academics.
9/15/2013: OK, maybe not exactly, but his selective reporting of data is rather astonishing. His Op-Ed is today’s RG is here, my response is in their comment thread. Please post your comments there, not here.
We all agree that students deserve a meaningful classroom experience and that the UO needs to recruit and hire more tenured and tenure-track faculty. Students, faculty, and our state deserve no less from an AAU research institution. The negotiating teams return to the table on August 29. I’m optimistic that these talks will yield a faculty contract that builds on our areas of agreement and propels us into the next decade as a stronger, more united and more equitable institution.
strengthen the University of Oregon and its academic mission.
We are in this together for the long term and I firmly believe that our new labor contract will be a useful tool to ensure equity and fairness, standardize procedures, and set mutual expectations.
include research as well as teaching. We’d like to think that has always been the practice, but it is useful to reaffirm the general principle. Faculty should have the latitude to delve into controversial issues or explore new and emerging areas in their fields of research without fear of censorship or retaliation. And it is important to reaffirm that faculty shape the content of the curriculum.
President Gottfredson and I also agree with the faculty that shared governance is essential to the wellbeing of the academy. I am certain the contract language will underscore the faculty’s front-line role in this regard. We believe that faculty, working with the President, should have responsibility for setting academic standards, creating new classes, determining what material should be included and how classes are taught. The faculty also assigns grades to students and determines who should be awarded degrees.
increase in support from the current 85 percent pay. The University and the faculty union, United Academics, broadly agree about maintaining the integrity of the tenure review and promotion process and the contract reaffirms procedures to protect that tradition.
ensures NTTF are eligible for professional development funds. The contract will also set down policies for regular review and appointment of non-tenure track faculty with appropriate faculty involvement and oversight. Along with better pay, it’s important for NTTF to have stronger job security and potential for promotion.
deserve no less from an AAU research institution. The negotiating teams return to the table on August 29. I’m optimistic that these talks will yield a faculty contract that builds on our areas of agreement and propels us into the next decade as a stronger, more united and more equitable institution.
Priorities: Later this month, our leadership retreat will address the most pressing priorities for the Provost’s Office during this coming year. The group in attendance will include the Leadership Council augmented by faculty, staff, student, Foundation and Alumni Association leadership. I will present some ideas such as review of the Academic Plan and the Big Ideas, office and classroom space, etc. The group will have an opportunity to add topics and to do an initial prioritization. I have already spoken with Robert Kyr, President of the University Senate, about an online ranking process of these priorities, to be run by the Senate in September, involving the entire community. From all this input, the President and I will settle on the priority topics for this year.
That would have been last September. Just in case anyone needed a reminder about the lack of faculty input into UO’s priorities – a question which Hubin finessed in the accreditation report, and which Rudnick made the mistake of bringing up at the bargaining table. Too bad Coltrane doesn’t start the job until July.
I am delighted to announce that Scott Coltrane, dean of the University of Oregon’s College of Arts and Sciences, has accepted my invitation to serve in an interim role as the UO’s senior vice president and provost beginning July 1.
He will succeed Jim Bean, who will leave his current position of senior vice president and provost at the end of June, to return to the Lundquist College of Business. Dean Coltrane will serve in the interim position as we conduct a nationwide search for a permanent senior vice president and provost.
I would like to thank all those who submitted nominations to fill this interim position and I’d especially like to extend my appreciation to members of the Faculty Advisory Council who served as the selection advisory committee for this appointment.
The provost is the UO’s chief academic officer, heading our academic programs and overseeing the quality of our teaching and research. The provost ensures that we maintain a high quality faculty by providing leadership in appointments, promotions, working conditions and tenure.
Dean Coltrane has served since 2008 as the head of our College of Arts and Sciences. He has also served as a member of the Executive Leadership Team and has extensive experience and familiarity with the fundamental issues facing our entire university – from the growth of recent years, to the space and staffing issues we are currently addressing, to facilitating our research mission.
A prominent sociologist, Dean Coltrane’s own research has focused in part on families and fatherhood and the domestic divisions of labor and gender inequality. Prior to joining the UO in 2008, he served for 20 years in a variety of teaching, research and administrative positions at the University of California at Riverside.
Please join me in congratulating Scott Coltrane and welcoming him to his interim role as senior vice president and provost.
Bean keeps his parking spot for 4 more months, but we should have a new interim by July 1. The obvious candidate is CAS Dean Scott Coltrane. Any other ideas? 3/2/13.
UO can’t give raises because of the union?
10/12/2012: I’ve heard many reports of recent statements by Bean and Gottfredson that they can’t pay us the round 2 and 3 Lariviere raises because of the union. At the Head’s retreat, for example. Please post comments or email me about other stuff you’ve heard from admins on this, with what was said, by whom, and when. The more specific the better.
Q: Why aren’t you providing increases to faculty as well?
A: Our faculty recently unionized. Most adjustments to faculty salaries will need to be negotiated with the union as part of our initial collectively bargained contract.
On the other hand UO has the money set aside – for TTF and NTTF – and it’s hard to see how Kitzhaber can let the coaches get 21%+ and then say no to the professors. And the Johnson Hall dwellers are apparently not saying the problem is the money or the Gov – they’re saying it’s unionization.
Is there a legal prohibition against giving raises without a contract, now that we’ve gone union? No.
Labor law does say that, because of the union vote, faculty now have the right to ask the union to file a grievance against the administration for changes in the terms of employment – which would include a raise. I’m no psychology professor, but I don’t think people file grievances about getting raises often enough to even get a note in the DSM.
If there was a pre-existing agreement to give raises, does UO have to follow through with it now that we’ve got a union? Maybe.
The Missouri article stating that UO has the lowest salaries in the AAU has caused quite a stir (we have since verified that they were correct). Low salaries were always thought of as just Oregonian. But 34 out of 34 is a whole other thing. We cannot have this. Richard’s reaction was “this is job #1.” Richard will likely have an announcement on how we are attacking this when politically feasible (after last gavel). Please communicate to your faculty that the Missouri article really got our attention. This may require disruptive solutions.
The ERB is not going to take Bean’s word any more seriously than we do, but there’s more substantive evidence that faculty had reason to expect raises. I’ve got a public records request in for the spreadsheet showing what CAS had planned for rounds 2 and 3 of the Lariviere raises, for each TTF, by name. More than a month, and CAS Dean Scott Coltrane is still refusing to turn it over. If you’ve got a copy please send it along. Thanks!
I’m also trying to get more information on who is advising Gottfredson on labor law – I hope he knows better than to rely on Randy by now. My guess is that it’s Sharon Rudnick of Geller’s favorite firm, Harrang, Long, Gary and Rudnick. I’ve made a public records request, but Dave Hubin’s office wants to charge me $70 for the contracts – and it will be a lot more for the invoices and memos. You know where this is going – pony up, comrades.

Teen Saira Blair reportedly contributed $4,000 to her own campaign to let voters know she was serious.
On Tuesday, the citizens in West Virginia's 59th District took her seriously as well, delivering Blair a resounding victory over her Democratic opponent for a seat in the state's House of Delegates.
At age 18, Blair will be the youngest state lawmaker in the nation, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"I'm just elated," she told NBC.
Blair, a West Virginia University freshman, said she would take off spring semester to attend the legislature’s 60-day session in Charleston, NPR reported. She'll be deciding on measures from a fiscally conservative perspective with hopes of reducing taxes for businesses.
Blair took to Facebook to express her gratitude, while noting that "my generation’s voice, fresh perspective and innovative ideas can help solve some of our state’s most challenging issues."
Blair even left her opponent impressed.
"Quite frankly a 17- or 18-year-old young woman that has put herself out there and won a political campaign has certainly brought some positive press to the state," 44-year-old attorney Layne Diehl told the Wall Street Journal.
Incidentally, the politicking teen will have company when she hits the state capitol; her dad, Craig Blair, is a state senator.

Don’t laugh at me. When I’ve had spare time this week, I’ve been playing Diablo 3 (Ultimate Evil Edition). I started playing the first one when I was a teenager and it was really fun. Then, years later, I played the second one and I’ll admit that there are times that I was addicted to it so bad, I’d play it for about 16 hours a day. So how does this third one stack up?
I’ve made 3 different characters: a crusader (who I’m in Act 2 with), a necromancer (who I’m almost finished Act 1 with), and a witch doctor (who I haven’t started playing with, but played this character in the demo). Unfortunately, it doesn’t feel that different from one character to another. I can skip all the dialogue after I’ve played with one character because nothing really ever changes. From what I’ve noticed, a lot of maps don’t even randomly generate like they used to in first two. I basically know where I’m going and exactly what to do. In other words, if I’ve played one character, I feel like I’ve played with them all. I haven’t played as all the characters, so it’s possible that I might get some different kind of experience with them all.
The game play is simple. I haven’t died at all with any character. I’ve had to heal up about twice with the crusader. With the necromancer, I feel like it’s way overpowered. I haven’t had to heal up at all, and the skeletal mage summons kill everything really, really fast. So basically, I play this character facing the monsters and by holding the A button.
I don’t notice any of the music which is not good because I expect the music to set the mood. It doesn’t. I hear about 5 seconds of the Tristram theme every so often, and that’s it. Unremarkable, honestly. The sound is about as good as you expect. Sometimes you can hear a treasure goblin nearby.
As far as the graphics go, they’re pretty neat I think. The environments are really nice, and you can use them to kill your enemies (for example, falling logs, falling walls, etc). It does bother me how all the corpses look the same when you play as a necromancer though. The little monsters leave the same corpse as a gigantic monster. The corpse looks like a human torso, so it’s kind of weird to see a spider leaving behind a human corpse that was twice its size. The corpse explosion spell is pretty awesome though. I’ve never had any problem with the lighting in some places which is good.
My verdict is that it’s a fun game. It’s not addictive and I don’t think the replay ability is on par with its predecessors. I don’t really expect to play it again for a long time after I finish it once. Right now, I feel like if you’ve played as one character, you’ve played them all. I’m not sure if that’s entirely true because I’ve only played around 25% of the whole game (but that didn’t take me very long either). I think that playing it on a console works well. I think I’d much rather play it with a controller than a mouse.
Even after writing this, it’s not enough to get me to want to get up and play which is sad. I will eventually, but I don’t know how long it will take me to want to do something else. I guess the lack of addition is a good thing, or maybe my brain has changed so much from back then to now. Maybe I’m just adulting way too much now. That’s kind of sad.

a garment worn for swimming. Also called swimsuit.
Interesting historical details are revealed throughout the narrative, such as the description of the neck to knee bathing costumes worn by both men and women, or Nipper considering leaving school and going to work full time at the age of 12.
It's a provocative 35-minute piece, with vintage bathing costumes, whimsical wordplay and an exotic soundtrack by Umm Kultum (a mid-20th Century Egyptian singer of Arabian classical music), Alva Noto (a contemporary German musician and composer) and West Side Story composer Leonard Bernstein.
The bathing costumes were found not to present such a threat and what has been known here as the "burquini" issue is over for the time being.
The picture was taken in Nice on Tuesday after several French towns banned burkinis - the modest bathing costumes worn by some Muslim women.
In one, he writes, 'I'd like to see you in one of those new-fangled, two-piece bathing costumes - top and bottom.
Meanwhile, back in Liverpool the search was on for Liverpool's Personality Girl - the Miss Liverpool contest prized grooming, speech and deportment and required girls to dress in afternoon frocks rather than bathing costumes.
Bathing costumes don't get near my double-oh-sevens unless they're of the expansive, full coverage variety that could double as a tent for a family of four in an emergency situation.
And you never got lifeguards in red bathing costumes jogging along the beach on the East Coast in quite the same way as David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson.
Baywatch - what was the attraction?
There are a hardy minority of swimmers who swim in only their normal bathing costumes but for safety reasons beginners are advised to always wear a wetsuit.
I can remember we all had to wear patent leather indoor shoes, do gym in bathing costumes and go swimming in the nearby pool which was always freezing cold.
Chanel had the bathing costumes knitted, and the ballerinas' swimming caps were created from soft antelope skin.
Swimmers are prohibited from wearing bathing costumes in public places.

i've just installed a 2nd hard drive on my pc, when i booted it up for the 1st time with both hdds installed i went to "my computer" and it showed my original drive as c, my newly installed drive as d, my burner as e and my dvd rom drive as f. then i installed boot magic. when i re booted the pc it wouldn't boot from the new drive, it just hung on a screen saying"preparing ur machine to run win9x or msdos" so i restarted the pc and booted from my original drive and now the new drive doesn't show up in "my computer". although when booting it it finds both primary drives and both secondary drives and it shows up in device manager. i tried fdisk and all seemed to go well, but it still doesn't show up in my computer. i want to format it and reinstall windows, but how can i format it if it hasn't got a letter assigned to the drive?
A lot of this may depend on how you have fdisk'd the drive but assuming you did so with a normal winme/9x bootdisk, you shouldn't need to worry about going into windows from there. After fdisking a drive it should be assigned a drive letter in fdisk, you can check it in option 4 I believe, but it won't show up in windows until it has been formatted. So back in DOS using you bootdisk and from the a: prompt try going to the drive and seeing if it is visible although there will be no data. It will probably be your d drive but maybe not. At the a: prompt just type format d: and press return assuming the hd is drive d. Make sure you don't format the already setup hd.
After that has finished, then reboot and the drive will be visible in windows fine.

It is very necessary to speak with your Internet service provider to ensure that you have enough WiFi connectivity and range for your Escondido family’s needs.

In this alternately hilarious and insightful account, named a Best Book of 1998 by Publishers Weekly, Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin uses the lens of sports to come to a deeper understanding of America.
On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, Steve Rushin decided to revisit the twin pursuits of his youth: epic car trips and an unhealthy obsession with sports. So he jumped into his fully alarmed Japanese S.U.V. and drove to American sports shrines for a year, everywhere from Larry Bird's boyhood home in French Lick, Indiana, to the cornfield just outside of Dyersville, Iowa, where Field of Dreams was filmed. Now in paperback, Road Swing is the story of his journey.

My seven year old was excited to get a copy of this to watch as every time the commercials would come on he would stop whatever he was doing and just become fixated. We watched this together and he loved it! I really didn’t think it would hold is attention but he liked watching the two baby cubs, Amber and Scout. The film takes you on a journey with momma bear Sky in Alaska.
The Disneynature Series also includes “Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee,”. Did you know that through donations tied to opening-week attendance and week 1 Blu-ray sales for all four films, Disneynature, through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, has planted three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas, protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya, protected nearly 130,000 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat, educated 60,000 school children about chimpanzee conservation and cared for chimpanzees? As for “Bears”, every purchase of the movie during the first week of it’s release, Disneynature will make a donation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks,to further protect and conserve endangered or threatened wildlife and wild places as well as enhance field research across more than 2.9 million acres of National Park Service land.
I am “beary” excited (I couldn’t resist) to share 12 pages of downloadable Bears activities! Just click on the picture to download. Plus take a look at all the bonus material that is available on the Blu-ray copy of the movie!

I want my children to be happy, and to know that at times you may need to do something that seems selfish at the time but you know is something right for you, ie such as breaking up with a nice person or someone that needs you. But they aren’t right for you.
One life lesson I will leave my children with is to always try your hardest. You don’t have to be perfect at everything, but if you give it your best that is good enough!
Money isn’t everything. It is more important to live frugally and be happy than to live with riches and be miserable.
One of the most important lessons I was sure to teach them is: “Stay away from bears!” Also, recycle.
How very important it is to have patient and to always say please and thank you!
To ALWAYS be yourself, never sell yourself short. You are who are and the way you are for a reason, always shine your brightest never let anyone dull your light.

I want to leave my children with the lesson that service to others brings true happiness.
Do to others with what you want done to you.

I’m 26 and people still make fun of me all time the. I don’t let them bother me, but i know bullying and such effects soo soo many, and I just hope they end up being like me in that aspect.
I’d like her to live life to its fullest.
I always tell my children to be responsible for their actions. This also includes their environment, which they share with other living beings, be it human or animal. They should respect the earth and all it’s living things.
Treat people with kindness, don’t judge. People are people no matter their race,sexual preference, etc. Also be strong and do what you believe is right.
One lesson I will teach my little one is send good out into the world and it’ll come back to you. People are still going to be mean, but the problem is them-not you.
Be yourself and don’t care what anybody else thinks about you.
A life lesson I hope to leave my daughter is this: it is vital to love God and to love others. Life apart from these two things has no meaning.

"It was William Bridge Cooke’s idea to compile a list of fungal family names with nomenclatural and bibliographic information and he collaborated with David Hawksworth, who provided the lichen family names, in the first such publication in 1970 (Cooke, W.B. & Hawksworth, D.L. A preliminary list of families proposed for fungi (including lichens). Mycological Papers 121: 1—86). This list was subsequently updated and revised, including many contributions from colleagues and specialists around the world, and appeared in 1989 (D.L. Hawksworth & J.C. David. Index of Fungi Supplement – Family Names. 75 pp.). Following this publication all new family names, together with corrections to Family Names, have been included in the Index of Fungi. A subset of the list was further revised during the Names in Current Use initiative and was a component of NCU–1. Family Names in Current Use for Vascular Plants, Bryophytes and Fungi (Greuter, W., Ed., in Regnum Vegetabile 126: 1—95, 1993).

text: B is the second part of Turzi's alphabetic album trilogy. The teutonic rock of debut album, A, that made eyes at Morricone in frenetic style, has become altogether more ambitious. The rudimentary techno flourishes of inspirational leader, Romain Turzi meet the taut, menacing prowess of his band, Four Organ, in a project with global designs. A psychedelic record colored by the use of a variety of eastern instruments (sitar, bouzouki, cimbalom) alongside more traditional rock devices. Sinister vocals arrive courtesy of Romain along with collaborations from Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) and Brigitte Fontaine.

Pefferlaw Creek Farms maple syrup comes from maple sap harvested sustainably from Sugar and Red Maple trees throughout our four sugar bushes. The maple sap is collected in a network of food grade pipelines. All of the sap is transferred into large storage tanks where it is trucked to our sugar shack and processed into maple syrup, boiled the old fashioned way over a wood fired evaporator. Pefferlaw Creek Farms also uses state of the art reverse osmosis equipment to increase the efficiency of our maple farm and improve final product quality and sanitation. The sooner that the sap goes from tree to evaporator, the less opportunity there is for bacterial or fungal spoilage, and our equipment ensures that this happens. After hours of boiling, the delicious golden brown finished syrup is taken off our evaporator piping hot and carefully filtered before bottling for sale or storing in large barrels for later use. With a strong commitment to final product quality, we take careful steps throughout the whole process to make sure the tastiest and highest quality product gets to your pancakes.
The final maple syrup product will range between 66 and 68% sugar (pure, natural maple sugar goodness!). Since the sap is coming out of the trees at about 2% sugar, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to bring it to the final sugar content. The syrup is then categorized by grade; from Golden (the very lightest) to Very Dark. In simplest terms, maple sap that is collected early in the maple syrup season will produce a Golden syrup and as the season progresses and temperature begins to increase, the sap will yield darker final syrup. Pefferlaw Creek Farms takes careful steps throughout the entire production and cleaning process to comply with organic standards. Steps include sustainable tree tapping practices to ensure that tree health is maintained long term, proper cleaning of evaporator and other equipment, among others. We are certified organic through Ecocert Canada and inspected yearly.
Pefferlaw Creek Farms is also registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and our facilities are inspected annually by CFIA officials.

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is one of the most important second messengers and a target for the therapy of COPD, a disease primarily provoked by cigarette smoke. Cyclic nucleotide hydrolyzing phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are able to degrade cAMP or cGMP within subcellular compartments, thereby potentially altering pulmonary responses including airway contractility and inflammation. We combined the PCLS technique in mice with FRET to monitor cAMP in real time.
We provide evidence that the FRET and PCLS technologies can be combined in CAG-Epac1-camps mice to measure global cAMP levels. Moreover, we found in fenoterol-stimulated PCLS that PDE4 accounts for more than 80% of the total cAMP-PDE activity. Besides PDE4, PDE3 known as a cGMP-inhibited PDE also contributes to cAMP hydrolysis, indicating that cGMP may modulate the maintenance of local cAMP in PCLS. In contrast, the cGMP-activated PDE2 plays a limited role in cAMP hydrolysis.
Exposure to CSE did not alter the FRET signal in the presence of the PDE4 inhibitor in fenoterol-stimulated PCLS. In contrast, we found a significant increase in PDE3-dependent FRET responses (p<0.05). Under basal conditions, CSE treatment altered local cAMP levels by significantly increasing both PDE4 and PDE3 inhibitor effects. Both PDE4/3 are the most important cyclic nucleotide hydrolyzing enzymes responsible for the local regulation of cAMP in the β2-AR microdomain in the lung. In conclusion, our findings suggest that exposure to CSE causes alterations in the expression of both PDE4 and PDE3 and may thus alter functional responses in the airways.

Summer is finally on the way and with it comes air conditioning and any needed maintenance to your system.. In the era of sustainable thinking and living, how to decrease that cost in a greener way is foremost on many consumers’ minds. The question is this: Why can’t we have an air conditioning system that can keep our family cool 24/7, without worrying about increased energy costs or negatively impact our environment?
The industry's top solar-assisted central heat pump uses a combination of solar energy and electricity to reduce home electric usage. Chlorine-free R410A refrigerant provides exceptional comfort without encountering a costly environmental toll.
The system meets or exceeds U.S. EPA guidelines for energy efficiency. This advanced Lennox® system also qualifies for a federal tax credit to reduce your expense; visit the ENERGY STAR website to learn more. Remember to also check on any state or local municipality incentives that may save you more money for being eco-friendly.
Efficiency ratings of up to 18.20 SEER and 9.70 HSPF can save you significant dollars each year compared to a standard heat pump. One solar panel provides freely available clean energy to counterweight the electric usage of the heating and cooling system. A two-stage scroll compressor operates at low speed most of the time, which means it's less expense to operate and results in more consistent comfort. Plus it's specifically built to work with a Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system for added comfort control.
The SilentComfort™ fan grille incorporates patent-pending, vortex-suppression technology that minimizes the sound of airflow leaving the unit, providing a virtually silent environment. A fully insulated compressor compartment uses vibration-isolating mounts to stifle operating sound, producing very low sound pollution.
Built with heavy-gauge, pre-painted steel and evaluated in the most extreme environments to ensure supreme durability, the system also comes with the original onboard cooling system diagnostic device, the Lennox® System Operations Monitor, which always monitors system performance and promises reliable operation and quick troubleshooting. A 10-Year Limited Warranty on compressor and all remaining covered components (the solar panel itself is not included).
SunSource™ is recommended as the first product a Houston homeowner needs to consider when exploring an air conditioner or HVAC system replacement (the second being a hybrid home comfort system). Although Heat Pump’s are not for use in every region of the country, the environment-friendly features of the SunSource Comfort System make it the preferred system for today’s energy and cost-conscious families.

CORBINIAN, a native of France, who after living for fourteen years as a hermit, was consecrated a missionary bishop to Bavaria. St. Corbinian based his See at Freising and is said to have had a long and successful episcopacy. St. Corbinian reposed in 730.
DISIBOD (DISIBODE, DISEN), according to tradition, St. Disibode was an Irishman who, with several companions, worked as missionaries in the east of France and Germany. After ten years he went to Odernheim in present-day Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany where he founded the monastery of Disibodenberg. St. Disibod reposed in 700.
ETHELBURGH (ETHELBURGA), St. Ethelburgh was the daughter of King St. Ethelbert of Kent (25th February) and his Frankish wife Queen St. Bertha (1st May). Upon her betrothal to King St. Edwin of Northumbria (12th October) St. Ethelburgh travelled to her new home accompanied by St. Paulinus of York (10th October). There she and St. Paulinus converted her husband and were instrumental, in the conversion of Northumbria, and successfully brought the kingdoms of Kent and Northumbria closer together. Upon the repose of King St. Edwin, St. Ethelburgh and St. Paulinus returned to Kent. There St. Ethelburgh founded a monastery at Lyminge where she served as abbess until her repose circa 647.
INA (INE) and ETHELBURGH, King St. Ina of Wessex reigned in England from 688 until 726, and is primarily remembered as the restorer of Glastonbury. In 726, he abdicated his throne, and with his wife, Queen Ethelburga, went to Rome where they lived lives of penance and piety. He was the first to give the alms to the Pope that came to be known as “Peter’s-Pence”, which, contrary to how it evolved, was originally not intended to be a tribute to the Pope but was designated for the maintenance of the English College at Rome. King Ina reposed in 727.
KINGSMARK (CYNFARCH), (Fifth Century), a Scottish chieftain, our venerable and God-bearing Father Kingsmark is widely believed to have been married to a granddaughter of King St. Brychan of Brycheiniog (6th April). In later life, he lived in Wales as a monk and disciple of St. Dubricius of Caerleon (14th November). As a monk, St. Kingsmark grew to be renowned for his holiness of life, and soon after his repose was glorified by the Welsh faithful. The area of St. Kingsmark in Monmouthshire, Wales takes its name from him, and there are several churches dedicated to St. Kingsmark in the English West Country and Wales.
SERGIUS, born in Palermo Sicily to a family originally from Antioch, he was Pope of Rome from 687 until his repose in 701. St. Sergius enjoyed close relations with the Church in England; baptising St. Cadwalla (20th April), resolving the dispute over St. Wilfrid's (12th October) position as the Ordinary of the See of York, and encouraging St. Willibrord's (7th November) evangelisation of the Frisians. St. Sergius is also credited with introducing the Agnus Dei to the Canon of the Latin Mass.

Mold eats by secreting an enzyme and feeding off of organic compounds like starch and cellulose. Fruits contain plenty of cellulose, which is why they so often grow moldy. However, the wallboards in a home can also have cellulose, and so does the wood that makes up the frame of a house. Mold is an integral part of nature’s decomposition process, which means it’s had millions of years to be good at what it does.
1. Keeping dry is the key here. Mold will not grow without a damp environment to help sustain it. If you have a bathtub or toilet overflow, a large spill in your kitchen or leaky pipes, these are issues that have to be dealt with immediately. Water can seep into corners and get underneath flooring, behind walls, into drywall or plaster and soak carpets. If left for more than 48 hours, mold is more likely to form and start mold colonies.
2. Use a de-humidifier. You’ll want to keep a relative humidity between 30% and 50%. Anything above 60% will be nourishing to mold. Keeping ventilation moving whenever possible is ideal as it helps water evaporate off of surfaces. When showering, remember to run the exhaust fan. Keeping the air from stagnating will also help keep the small amounts of water that form naturally from stagnating.
We recommend Panasonic Vent Fans as an effective way to ventilate your bathroom..
3. Do a regular inspection of your home every month. Check around the base of the house, the basement, all of your concealed pipes, bathrooms, ceilings and attic spaces. Make it part of your monthly maintenance chores, as it’s an easy task to handle. This basic step can prevent the costliest of repairs by nipping them in the bud. Check for rusty pipes, as this is an indicator of condensation building up and can be a problem spot.
1. Wearing proper cleaning gear is essential to protecting your health while dealing with mold. Use a N-95 facemask with filters, as they will help keep the spores out of your respiratory system. These are inexpensive, and can prevent complications from taking hold. Working without some sort of protection for your respiratory system can be extremely hazardous. The effects of spore inhalation can cause allergies you didn’t have before, or asthmatic symptoms, even in a healthy individual. Goggles without holes are also recommended. Long rubber gloves that go up to your elbows should be used as well.
2. When cleaning up mold the first step is to make sure everything is as dry as possible. Get the area as well ventilated as you can, using open windows, fans, air conditioning and a dry airflow to pass over the moldy surface.
3. Timing is also important. If the spill or leak has been extant for less than 48 hours, then mold has probably not taken hold. If the source of the water is not a spill, then fix the leak first. It will be impossible to properly clean up the mold problem if the site is still being affected by excess water. It’s important to purchase high quality fixtures that have a higher quality assurance. Toilets like Toto are an industry favorite, and are efficient with water usage as well as being reliable and stylish.
4. Dry out everything; wipe down surfaces using a strong detergent. Scrub until the all of the mold is removed. It might not be possible to restore the cosmetic appearance of the surface, even with all of the mold cleaned away. If you’re using chlorine bleach, never mix it with other cleaning solutions or detergents that contain ammonia. Mixing these two chemicals will create toxic fumes. This can also harm some of your finishes on bathroom and kitchen fixtures, so clean with care.
5. Be careful not to agitate mold in porous material, like carpets, clothing, fabric and wallpaper. If you release spores into the air through the movement of tainted materials, it can not only get into other surfaces in the room, but also stay in the air and affect the eyes, air passageways and mucous membranes of other people. Gently move any materials that have mold in them, and do not shake them indoors. For example, if there is mold growing underneath wallpaper, removal of that wallpaper can lead to a massive release of mold spores.
Some materials will need to have a fan help with the drying, while others should be thrown away, like carpet or porous ceiling tiles. Porous materials will have small spaces that mold spores can get trapped in, continuously growing no matter how well you clean it.
A mold cleanup is completely done when the area is dry, and as much of the mold has been scraped off as possible. There should be no smell left, and no one should feel sick, get unexplained watery eyes or runny noses in the following weeks.
