|ABC News Health Anchor, Dr. Dean interviews Dr. Ella Faktorovich on the new advancement that makes many...
|Pacific Vision Institute has been chosen to become part of the Leading Medical Clinics of the World, August 2018
Dr. Faktorovich's textbook on lasers used in all-laser LASIK procedures is the first book on femtosecond laser application in medicine and surgery.
Dr. Faktorovich is the only private-practice surgeon in San Francisco to treat keratoconus patients with the first and only FDA-approved Corneal Cross-Linking technology.
Patients from the entire Bay Area have trusted Dr. Ella Faktorovich and the eye surgeons at the Pacific Vision Institute with their LASIK, Lens, and Cataract surgery.
The eye surgeons in the invitation-only Trusted LASIK Eye Surgeons Directory are among the top 1% of all refractive surgeons in the United States based on professional credentials and accomplishments.
LASIK has been performed in San Francisco for over a decade. The precursor of LASIK was the procedure called ALK. Dr. Faktorovich was the first surgeon in San Francisco to perform this procedure in 1994. In the precursor of LASIK, a surgeon would lift the superficial corneal layers with a mechanical device, called the microkeratome. The microkeratome would then be passed over the cornea again, removing tissue of a certain thickness depending on the amount of nearsightedness, and then the superficial layers would be replaced. Excimer lasers appeared in San Francisco in 1995 after they were FDA approved. Corneal surgeons in San Francisco gained a lot of precision using this form of laser vision correction. At first, the laser was applied to the surface of the cornea only. This was called PRK. Although PRK results were excellent, the healing time could be improved. At the same time San Francisco laser surgeon Dr. Faktorovich started applying the excimer energy to the internal layers of the cornea. To accomplish that, the laser surgeon would use the mechanical microkeratome to lift the superficial corneal layers. Then, the excimer laser energy was used on the internal layers of the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism. The superficial layers were replaced and healing time was remarkably fast. This procedure was given the name LASIK.
LASIK has been performed in San Francisco since 1995. In other parts of the world, LASIK has been performed significantly longer. In the United States, all the technology, including LASIK technology must go through a very rigorous review process and only then, it is approved by the FDA. San Francisco community of patients is very educated, discerning, and very critical. Patients demand only the very best LASIK surgeon, the very best LASIK technology, and the very best patient care.
In the hands of the best LASIK surgeons in San Francisco, the results were remarkable. In many instances, LASIK patients were able to achieve vision better than 20/20.
The next improvement in LASIK that came to San Francisco was the wavefront-guided or custom LASIK. With this procedure, a map of the entire optics is generated for each patient. This map contains the large imperfections, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Also, it contains the small imperfections, called higher order aberrations, such as spherical aberrations, coma, trefoil, etc. The maps are unique not only to each patient, but also to each eye of each patient. During the LASIK procedure, San Francisco LASIK surgeon downloads the patient's map into the laser. The laser treatment profile is then based on the shape of each individual map. Both large and small imperfections are treated, allowing LASIK patients to enjoy the beauty of San Francisco both day and night. Custom LASIK and wavefront-guided LASIK often mean the same thing.
The next advance in San Francisco LASIK technology came with IntraLase femtosecond laser, or all-laser LASIK. The first IntraLase laser in San Francisco was installed at Pacific Vision Institute in 2004. With all-laser LASIK, the superficial corneal layers are lifted with laser, not with the mechanical microkeratome, like they were in the past. The second step is carried out as it was before.
All-laser LASIK eliminated intra-operative complications and San Francisco LASIK surgeons could add an unprecedented level of precision accuracy to their patients. Over a million of all-laser LASIK procedures have been performed world wide. San Francisco LASIK surgeons who were not using this technology to help their patients were literally left behind. The best San Francisco LASIK surgeons were immediately at the forefront of this revolutionary advance.
In the city like San Francisco, driven by excellence, powered by technology, used to the very best medicine has to offer, the LASIK patients immediately recognized the advances in LASIK procedures and searched for surgeons who would give them the very best. The LASIK advances continued. Most recently, LASIK surgeons in San Francisco using WaveLight Allegretto laser, can correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, while maintaining the physiologic corneal shape and delivering the laser energy pulses very efficiently. As a result, fewer LASIK patients need to have a touch up after their original LASIK procedure.
Pre-screening technology for our LASIK patients in San Francisco has elevated the level of accuracy to an unprecedented level to insure that LASIK is absolutely the best choice for each patient coming in for a consultation in our San Francisco center. At Pacific Vision Institute, our surgeons combine the most advanced LASIK screening technology with four different laser platforms and wavefront analyzers to achieve the best possible LASIK results. If a San Francisco patient is not the best LASIK candidate, we offer many other options for good vision without glasses or contact lenses. PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), CK (conductive keratoplasty), Intacs, Phakic IOLs, presbyopic IOLs, ReSTOR, ReZoom, Crystalens - Pacific Vision Institute surgical team will help our San Francisco patients see well.
Cataract surgery has been performed in the San Francisco bay area for decades. More recently, the refractive surgery procedures of RLE (refractive lens exchange) and ICL (implantable collamer lens) are becoming increasingly more popular. Dr. Friedman is among the most experienced bay area cataract surgeons and best San Francisco cataract surgeons. He performs cataract surgery, RLE surgery, and ICL surgery using the most advanced phacoemulsification technology and IOL (intraocular lens implant) technology including the premium IOLs such as the Crystalens, ReSTOR multifocal IOL, Tecnis multifocal IOL, and toric IOL. He is one of the few bay area ICL surgeons performing San Francisco ICL surgery with the Visian lens phakic IOL.
Cataract surgery is the most common surgery in the United States with over 3 million cases each year. Bay area cataract surgery, bay area RLE surgery, and bay area ICL surgery is performed in an operating room and is an outpatient surgical procedure. Dr. Friedman performs his San Francisco cataract surgery, San Francisco RLE surgery, and San Francisco ICL surgery at St. Mary's medical center. Dr. Friedman is well versed and experienced with all of the current IOL technology. He is a San Francisco Crystalens surgeon, San Francisco ReSTOR IOL surgeon, San Francisco Tecnis multifocal IOL surgeon, and San Francisco toric IOL surgeon. As a premier bay area cataract surgeon and bay area RLE surgeon, Dr. Friedman performs all of this premium IOL surgery using microincision small incision no needle no patch surgery. He has also been instrumental in developing laser technology for bay area cataract surgery and bay area RLE surgery.
The San Francisco community of patients is very educated, discerning, and very critical. Patients demand only the very best cataract surgeon, the very best RLE surgeon, and the very best ICL surgeon to perform their best cataract surgery, best RLE surgery, and best ICL surgery, respectively. Bay area patients also demand the very best cataract technology, the very best RLE technology, and the very best ICL technology, and expect to receive the very best patient care, and this is what we provide at PVI. We deliver the best bay area cataract surgery, the best bay area RLE surgery, and the best bay area ICL surgery.
In the San Francisco bay area, driven by excellence, powered by technology, used to the very best medicine has to offer, the cataract patients, RLE patients, and ICL patients immediately recognized the advances in cataract procedures, RLE procedures, and ICL procedures, and searched for surgeons who would give them the very best. The premium IOL technology can correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia with either the accommodating Crystalens or the ReSTOR and Tecnis multifocal IOL.
Pre-screening technology for our cataract, RLE, and ICL patients in San Francisco has elevated the level of accuracy to an unprecedented level to insure that the outcomes are absolutely the best for each patient coming in for a consultation in our San Francisco center. At Pacific Vision Institute, our surgeons combine the most advanced screening technology to achieve the best possible cataract, RLE, and ICL results. We offer San Francisco patients a variety of options for good vision without glasses or contact lenses. PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), CK (conductive keratoplasty), Intacs, Phakic IOLs, ICL, Visian lens, presbyopic IOLs, premium IOLs, ReSTOR, Tecnis multifocal, Crystalens, toric IOL - Pacific Vision Institute surgical team will help our San Francisco patients and bay area patients see well.

This video, posted today on the OCD (hackerspace) blog, made me laugh. And Michael Doyle's (of OCD) Facebook post made me laugh even harder:
If the most recent post isn't among the weirdest things you've seen, either OMNICORPDETROIT isn't doing its job, or we'd love to meet you.
Um… I think you're doing your job.

Hi, I have successfully installed the openwrt 9-Jan-2012 r29697 (from http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/ ), additional packages to use 3g and everything is working properly. ZTE MF190 is incompatible with the mode that original firmware using to connect, but they resolved in terms of connecting directly to the port ttyUSB4.
However I have some doubts. The first one with "sysupgrade", the router loses access SSH, so to get it back I had to use the serial port, so it seems that is not the best method to update the firmware.
The second is about making a small howto in Spanish to make installation easier or maybe make a squashfs with all the packages required to have 3G service enabled (if you only have the mobile connectivity package installation is more complicated, since we have to download and use a tftp from local network).
The third is about how to link to the Android USB connection, but I suppose this topic duty to search or comment elsewhere .
Best regards.
p.d.: On LuCI show "OpenWrt Firmware Attitude Adjustment (r29763) / LuCI Trunk (trunk+svn8187)" and kernel 188.8.131.52, but base-files are r29697

I need some ideas. Thank you!
My flickr food photos account:
Very boring, but I love it - porridge.
Made with rolled oats, and with full cream milk and a little brown sugar on top. I feel as though I shouldn't need to add that it's cooked with water and salt, but seeing the things some people do to maybe I'd better.
My blog is Food and Shoes
I'm with Bronwyn in voting for porridge. And because I live in a fruit growing region I often have it with stewed fruit.
I also like to have oatmeal (is this what you mean by porridge) for breakfast, but lately I feel really hungry within 2 hours. I even have it with nuts and fruit too. How big a bowl do you have? I usually make 1 serving, which is a 1/2 cup of dry rolled oats. Maybe I just need to increase the serving.
Yes, oatmeal is porridge. Although in New Zealand we don't have the choice of steel-cut oats the rest of the world has, only rolled oats. Goodness knows why, maybe we just never built the right sort of mills.
I never actually measure it, I just pour in the amount I feel like, and somehow I manage to judge the amount of salt to go with that. I'd say it's usually about half a cup though. I do tend to put a lot of milk on it, so maybe that extra protein does the trick.
I also have to confess that I only gave up smoking four years ago, and as a smoker I had a cup of coffee and a cigarette for breakfast. Not the healthiest, and a plate of porridge seems quite large after many years of that.
My sister-in-law used to eat a sort of barley porridge that she reckoned kept her feeling full for a long time. Just the same as oatmeal but made with ground barley instead. The ground barley has a name, but I forget what it is.
I agree with the others who recommend protein for keeping you feeling full. There is a school of thought that says you should eat your biggest meal for breakfast and your smallest in the evening. You could try that! The thought of a full meal on waking up doesn't really thrill me personally.
You could also pack yourself a snack for mid-morning.
I also eat porridge (or oatmeal). I make mine with sugar (brown or white) with cinnamon. I also cut up apple while it cooks and put it in the bowl first. Then I put the oatmeal on top and stir it around. Add a splash of milk and it does a decent job. However, I think the best advice for making a breakfast that keeps you full until lunch is to include a protein, a significant amount of carbs, and some kind of fruit and/or veggie. I know that sound basic, but it's especially important for breakfast. Eat a lot, too, because you'll burn it all off during the day. I really like omelettes. You can easily make an omelet with no mess by putting the eggs in a sandwich bag, then add whatever else you want (cheese, veggies, bacon, spices, etc). Mash them all up to mix well, then put the sandwich bag in boiling water. Boil until cooked through, then just open the bag and slide the omelet out! It's really easy, creates no mess (since the only thing touching the pot was hot water), and you don't have to worry abut burning or flipping the eggs. It's also really useful for camping trips!
Onaka ga suiteiru!
Am omelet in a bag? What an amazing idea! Do you use a 'ziploc' bag? Would it work as an obento item? I shall try this out.
yeah, that's an interesting idea!
Yeah, I use a ziploc bag, because you don't want any of it coming out. I think it could definitely work as a bento item, since sandwich bags are pretty small, so it's very individually portioned. The only thing is that this omelet has a moister (aka sorta slimy) texture than a regular omelet. But if you don't have major texture issues, then it's not bad.
I go for cereal. The hubby likes Nestle Fitnesse, I prefer the simpler cornflakes (I find the Fitnesse cereal to be a little bit too dry). I drown them in milk, then add a lot of fresh fruit like grapes, apples, bananas, mangoes, etc..
Very esoteric perhaps... but my favorite breakfast is natto, a cut up avocado, a bit of soy sauce, and some warm rice. ^_^;
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
No, I actually love natto! I've never thought it tasted gross. My favorite way to eat it is with smooshed umeboshi, sesame seeds, and a tiny tiny bit of soy sauce on rice or noodles. Yummy. I don't buy it all that much though because it's a little expensive where I live, but no more than yogurt I suppose. But some sort of bean for breakfast is a good idea because the extra protein will probably help.
Alan S, an Australian who has type 2 diabetes, has a web site on how he lives with the condition. It includes a lot of meal ideas (Maki may have come across this site in her recent research). He prefers low carb high protein breakfasts and may have some ideas you might find useful.
He also a recipe for a Psyllium, Fibre, Muesli and Nuts mix, that he takes at night to achieve a slow carb release, which may work as a good breakfast for you.
Bit plain, perhaps, but at the moment I am in love with dippy eggs and soldiers! I always think it's a bit unbalanced as a breakfast, but I guess you've got the carbs and protein. Maybe some citrus fruit to go with it would help; orange juice or a grapefruit. I find it definitely keeps me full till lunch!
Unconnected, really, but I remember as a kid asking my Mum what un-toasted bread slices with bolied eggs was called, seeing as toast slices are called 'soldiers'...she flippantly said 'civillians', but as an innocent kid I believed her for years. I still think it's cute now!
Difficult to dip your civilians in an egg though - too floppy.
Hee hee, that make me chuckle!
I usually make oatmeal - in the microwave. 1/4 cup quick oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 apple and a tablespoon of ground flax and almond slices. 2 minutes in the microwave. Once it is cooked I add anywhere from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of low/no fat cottage cheese and a teaspoon of brown sugar splenda. I eat around 6 am and that keeps me going until about 1.
wow, that's a long time! Maybe I should try adding flax seed to my oatmeal
My daily breakfast anywhere between 6-8 a.m.: A thick slice of homemade, whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter (that is, only peanuts - no salt). I also have my infamous "20 grit smoothie' made with 1 cup plain rice milk, 1/2 of a frozen banana, a few small, frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup frozen wild blueberries, and about 4 tablespoons of ground, golden flax seed. I've covered all my bases for food groups, and it keeps me going until 12-1 p.m. On the rare occasion I eat anything else, it is usually scrambled eggs and oatmeal (made with soy milk) with lots of dried fruit mixed in. I've always found that boxed breakfast cereal, no matter what kind, just doesn't fill me up. My girls like it though, so they doctor it up with tofu powder and dried fruit before adding soy or rice milk. They drink some kind of fruit juice with it. They are still starved by noon though. I wish I had their metabolism!
Oat Bran Banana Porridge
• 2 Cups of Oat Bran
• 1 & 1/2 Cups of Water
• 1 Cups of Skim Milk
• 1/2 Banana (Chopped)
• Can of mixed fruit, (in natrual fruit juice)
Muesli! :D I mix my own, because commercial mueslis are a bit light on the fruit/nut side, or have only sad little pieces of fruit in them.
I cut up dried fruit (such as dates, figs, apples, pears, prunes, mangoes, etc...) and nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds...) and mix them with old-fashioned (the large ones) oats.
My preferred ratio of fruit/nuts to oats is 50%. Super delicious! :)
I'm also a big fan of oatmeal/porridge. I like to sweeten it a little with honey, then to add cocoa powder or matcha. A tablespoon of peanut butter or a spice mix (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom) tastes great too.
I'll second (tenth?) the recommendation on oatmeal. To make it stick, I always cook it with nonfat milk, not water (for the added protein), and I also add wheat germ and wheat bran (you could substitute oat bran) for additional fiber and protein, and ground flax seed for joint health (also adds a little fat, which also helps satiate). I sweeten it with local honey (helps prevent allergies), and top with either chopped fruit (fresh or frozen, and any fruit will do) or cocoa powder and chopped nuts for a treat.
If I'm going to be burning a lot of calories before lunch, I may add a smoothie with protein powder (or dried okara) or peanut butter (banana-pb or choco-pb are both excellent). Or I'll bring a snack -- nonfat plain yogurt with some frozen fruit to keep it cold, a boiled egg and some carrot sticks, a handful of nuts, etc.
This is going to sound weird...
I eat weetabix dry spread with butter and marmite and a cuppa tea, yummy! :D
I'm not short, I'm fun sized ^_^
Not weird at all, perfectly normal thing to eat. Haven't had it for years, but it used to be a favourite of mine as a kid. Mine was a very unhealthy version - I used to butter and marmite it, then split it through the middle and turn it inside out so the butter and marmite are in the middle, then butter it again on the outside.
scotch porridge - discovered this while staying in a guesthouse in bath UK. just cook oatmeal as normal, in another pan scotch & brown sugar. cook until it reduces & pour the syrup over the porridge!
I keep trying to eat oatmeal/porridge for breakfast but I'm STARVING in just an hour or so. The thing that keeps me going the best is a yogurt based smoothie with berries and chia seeds. The chia seeds make all the difference!!!
I also like huevos rancheros for breakfast but that's not a quick morning breakfast deal. I'd say it's the Mexican version of Maki's natto, avocado and rice so it hold you over REALLY well!
Steel cut oats which I place, with water and salt, in my Zojirushi rice cooker the night before. I set the timer and wake up to the lovely smell of porridge.
I have the same mid-morning starvation issues, I have breakfast before 7 am and lunch isn't until noon. My current breakfast has kept me full the longest so far, though I think 5 hours with no food is probably just unrealistic of me... But still, this is my "best effort": muesli that's high in nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, macademians, pecans,... but no dried fruits, don't like them) mixed with 0% fat natural yoghurt and topped up with a couple of spoons of stewed fruit. Right now it's plums (I boil them down with a splash of orange juice, no additional sugar necessary) and in winter I like to stew apples with some raisins - they plump up nicely - and loads of cinnamon. The fruit keeps well for over a week in the fridge in some tupperware. This works best for me - my mom swears by porridge too, but I just can't stand the structure... I prefer some crunch :)
Warm weather--I like an apple cut up, yogurt, nuts, coconuts, mixed in one bowl. Sometimes i will sprinkle granola/muesli all over it too.
Cold weather--usually hot muesli or oatmeal mixed with peanut butter topped with a cut up apple, nuts and coconut. Sometime chocolate chips.
OR whole grain toaster waffles with PB, nuts, coconuts and a slice apple.
I really think the apple is the trick to keeping me full.
I make a big batch of steel cut oats in a small crock pot. Divide into portions in bowls with lids and freeze them. In the morning I add applesauce maybe raisins and cinnamon I microwave it later at work

About the University of Wollongong
Starting your studies at UOW means learning from some of the brightest minds on the planet. You'll have the freedom and flexibility to tailor your experience, follow your passion and see where it takes you. Belonging to a university with an international reputation for world-class research and exceptional teaching quality will ensure you have a competitive edge in the global job market.
UOW Admission Criteria
UOW has a range of admissions options available for students of all ages and academic backgrounds. We are here to support your choices and open doors, so you can graduate ready for your future career.
If you're currently completing Year 12 or the International Baccalaureate, you apply to UOW through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). Interstate applicants must also apply via UAC. If you're not a current year 12 student, or you have completed a UOW College course, TAFE or other tertiary studies, you can apply directly to UOW.
Admission criteria and detailed course information for UOW and UOW College courses are available on UOW's Course Finder.
UOW has a range of admission pathways which are outlined below. For specific advice or questions regarding an application or a course, please contact the Future Students Team.
For the rules around application for entry to the University and UOW College see the UOW Admissions Procedures Policy, and the UOW College Admissions policy.
ATAR based admissions
You can use your ATAR (Australian Tertiary Academic Rank) or equivalent (e.g. ENTER, International Baccalaureate (IB) and QLD's Overall Position (OP)) to apply for UOW study. For more information on how your ATAR results are used and equivalent ATARs are generated, see Your ATAR and entry options. Please note that some courses have criteria for admission that are additional to your ATAR.
Adjustment factors
Year 12 students can have adjustment factors (previously called bonus points) added to their ATAR to calculate a Selection Rank (SR). Your SR can be used to receive guaranteed entry to the majority of UOW degrees. IB students are eligible to receive adjustment factors if their IB subjects match equivalent HSC subjects.
More detailed information on adjustment factors is available here.
Non-ATAR admission options
Non-ATAR admissions at UOW take a holistic approach to understanding an applicant's potential for academic success. UOW looks for the following qualities and attributes, which indicate potential for success in higher education, when assessing applicants holistically:
- Academic Readiness
- Motivation & Passion
- Planning & Persistence
- Communication & Collaboration
A comprehensive assessment of these key qualities and attributes is undertaken and the outcome is used to support fair, accurate and consistent admissions decision-making across UOW. Not all qualities and attributes may be of equal value. For example, poor academic results will unlikely lead to an offer being recommended, whereas the same may not be true for the other attributes. Following assessment, assessors recommend whether to make an offer for the courses to which the applicant has applied; or make an offer to alternative degree; or no offer may be recommended.
Please apply via the Universities Admissions Centre.
If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident who has completed your high school education overseas, and it is comparable to an Australian Year 12 qualification, you may be able to use your results to gain admission to UOW. UOW converts all results to a Selection Rank, so to be considered for admission, each applicant needs to reach the current minimum Selection Rank required for the course they are applying for.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the UOW Future Students Team who can advise if your qualification is equivalent to a Year 12 qualification in Australia and can be considered for admission.
You can use your ATAR (Australian Tertiary Academic Rank) or equivalent (e.g. ENTER, International Baccalaureate (IB), QLD's Overall Position (OP)) to apply for UOW study. However, if you also have a tertiary qualification (e.g. Certificate IV, Diploma or Bachelor degree) you may be assessed for admission to a course based on this qualification instead of your ATAR.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the Future Students Team for more information and to discuss your options.
- I have a Certificate IV (excluding trade certificates)
- I have a Diploma
- I have an Advanced Diploma
Qualifications that are accredited by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), such as those provided at TAFE and the UOW College, can be used as a basis for entry to UOW. The above qualifications may result in entry to some degrees. A Certificate IV can be used for entry into several of our courses. Admission is dependent on the completion of the course and the level of academic performance achieved.
In some circumstances, you may receive credit for prior learning for one of these qualifications. This means that you gain credit towards your University degree resulting in less units of study undertaken to complete your degree. You can apply for credit for prior learning in your application to UOW.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the Future Students Team for more information and to discuss your circumstances.
If you have previous university studies (complete or incomplete) from an approved university or other tertiary institution, you may be eligible for entry in to a UOW course. You will need to provide a record of your achievement. For most courses your bachelor degree needs to have been at least one-sixth completed.
In some circumstances you may be eligible for credit for prior learning. This means that you gain credit towards your UOW degree resulting in less units of study needed to complete your degree. So that UOW can assess your eligibility for this, you'll need to provide a syllabus or subject description of previous study along with your application. All documents must be accompanied by an official English translation if they were produced in another language.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the Future Students Team for more information and to discuss your circumstances.
UOW College provides a range of university preparation programs for students who do not meet the other entry requirements for a UOW Bachelor degree. Students are taught the skills and knowledge needed to successfully commence and complete a UOW Bachelor degree. Visit the UOW College for course information.
If you have completed a UOW College university preparation program such as the University Access Program (UAP), University Entrance Certificate (UEC) or Special Tertiary Entrance Program (STEP) you can use these qualifications as a basis for seeking admission into most UOW undergraduate courses, subject to meeting minimum UOW entry requirements. The exceptions include four-year professional degrees and double degree programs.
Please contact the Future Students Team if you have completed a UOW College preparation program, and would like more information.
If you have already completed an undergraduate (Bachelor) or postgraduate (eg Masters) degree, you can use the results you obtained from that qualification to apply for a different degree.
In some circumstances you may be eligible for credit for prior learning. This means that you gain credit towards your UOW degree resulting in less units of study needed to complete your degree. So that UOW can assess your eligibility for this, you'll need to provide a syllabus or subject description of previous study along with your application. All documents must be accompanied by an official English translation if they were produced in another language.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the Future Students Team for more information.
Work experience is an important aspect of your learning journey, and will be considered in combination with your academic merit when we assess your application. Work experience alone, without a secondary or tertiary qualification, is not used as a basis for admission to UOW undergraduate degrees.
However, there are other pathways to UOW that may work for you. UOW College offers a range of university preparation programs such as the University Access Program (UAP), University Entrance Certificate (UEC) or Special Tertiary Entrance Program (STEP). Completion of these programs can be used as a basis for seeking admission into most UOW undergraduate courses, subject to meeting minimum UOW entry requirements. The exceptions include four-year professional degrees and double degree programs.
If you are interested in completing a university preparation program, contact UOW College. If you have completed a university preparation program, or other qualification that may be used as a basis for admission, along with a combination of work experience, apply directly to UOW or contact the Future Students Team for more information.
If you completed your high school education overseas and it is comparable to an Australian Year 12 qualification you may be able to use your results towards admission to UOW. However, if you have another qualification (e.g. Certificate IV, Diploma or Bachelor degree) you may be assessed on this instead of your Year 12 qualification.
All high school education results are converted to a Selection Rank, so to be considered for admission, each applicant needs to reach the current minimum Selection Rank required for the course they are applying for.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the UOW Future Students Team who can advise if your qualification is equivalent to a Year 12 qualification in Australia and can be considered for admission.
There are many options for students who do not have a sufficient ATAR (or Year 12 results), have not completed previous alternative study or did not finish to a Year 12 level at high school. UOW recognises many pathway programs. So no matter what your age, or previous experience, there is an option for you.
Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT)
If you are at least 21 years of age by 1 March in the year you are seeking enrolment, and do not otherwise qualify for entry to the University, you may apply for admission on the basis of STAT Multiple Choice. STAT may be used to gain admission to many courses, except for Engineering, Law, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology (Honours) degrees. For further details on STAT, visit stat.acer.org.
TAFE Tertiary Preparation Certificate
The TAFE Tertiary Preparation Certificate (TPC) is an alternative to undertaking a HSC course. Entry to University is dependent on the level of academic performance achieved in the TPC. For more information, contact your local TAFE.
Limited Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
If you are completing Year 12 studies through a TAFE college, senior college or secondary school, you can use a Limited ATAR to gain entry to UOW's undergraduate courses. A Limited ATAR is calculated from the best five units of courses completed, rather than the 10 used for the standard ATAR.
To be eligible for a Limited ATAR, you need to be at least 20 years of age on 1 March prior to the year you will start your UOW studies and take between five to nine units of ATAR courses. Your Limited ATAR is calculated using your best five units, including at least one unit of English and the best four other units of Category A courses.
Please apply directly to UOW or contact the Future Students Team for more information and to discuss your circumstances.
The University of Wollongong's commitment and encouragement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to engage and participate in tertiary education is actively cultivated through our Woolyungah Indigenous Centre (WIC). WIC is responsible for ensuring UOW Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student access and support, and promoting education to high school students via the nationally recognised Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience.
WIC runs an Alternative Admissions Program (AAP) which is an alternative pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples seeking entry into UOW's undergraduate programs. If you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person and are over the age of 17, you are encouraged to apply to this program. If you haven't completed secondary school, aren't receiving an ATAR, or haven't obtained the required ATAR score for your preferred course, you are welcome to apply for AAP.
Once students have started their studies, WIC continues their support to you as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student to enable you to meet your education goals through programs such as the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme and offering a physical environment where you are able to access support services, technology as well as a place to study.
All UOW courses are taught in English, relying on different levels of proficiency. If English is not your first language, you may need to satisfy the University's English language requirements. English requirements do vary between courses at UOW, these are available alongside each course description in UOW's Course Finder. Results in major international tests are accepted, including IELTS, TOEFL, Pearsons, Cambridge and OET for some health-related courses.
You can also meet the requirement by completing an English course at UOW College.
If you are an Australian citizen, permanent resident or New Zealand citizen currently completing Year 12 or the International Baccalaureate, you apply to UOW through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
Your application for a UOW undergraduate degree will be processed by UAC. Visit the 'Apply' section of the UAC website to nominate up to five degrees you'd like to study, in order of your preference. Be sure to check UAC's application guidelines and timelines.
At UOW, our courses don't have prerequisites - but for some courses we assume that you have completed certain subjects in high school. To see if your preferred degree has any Assumed Knowledge, check the course information on Course Finder.
Mature age/non-school leaver applicants (ie you are not currently completing Year 12) can apply directly to UOW for the majority of degrees (applications for Pre-Medicine, Nursing and Educations degrees (except Early Years) must be made through UAC).
Direct applications to UOW are free and can be made at Applying to UOW as a mature-age student.
UOW recognises that it's your personal qualities and skills that define who you are. With the UOW Early Admission program we get to know you, look at the results you've achieved so far, interview you, and can reward your hard work with a place at UOW before you sit your final high school exams (or equivalent).
In addition to your application and interview, you must be completing the HSC or interstate equivalent, or the IB at an Australian High School in Australia, be under 21 years of age, and eligible to receive an ATAR or IB Diploma to be considered for a UOW Early Admission offer.
Full application criteria, and information on the application process is available on the Early Admission page.

An astounding 700,000 cars were stolen in the U.S. last year.
While that's actually a decrease of 3.3 percent, at the same time the number of newer vehicles being stolen (cars from '09-'11) is increasing, at least according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
Intuitively you would think newer cars would be more difficult to jack, but apparently not! Which really should emphasize a car owner's need for aftermarket security.
The top most-stolen new vehicles from the new survey were:
1) The 2009 Nissan Altima
2) The 2009 Honda Accord
3) The 2009 Honda Civic
4) The 2009 Dodge Charger, and
5) (Motorcycle alert!) the 2009 Yamaha YZF-R6
See the list of newer cars from MSN Autos here.

Hi, i sent a PM to admin yesterday, but now i cant seem to find where is the inbox to check for reply?
Hi i am playing Golden Sun-The Lost Age an i can't jump the only button's that are working is X an C these are the one's that are not working V,B,S,D,F,G are not working can you help me with that?
not sure if you're trolling or not :/... but jumping is automatic for golden sun and if you want to check your pm mail box I'm afraid it's a bit of a round about way of doing it as there is no actual button for it. One way is to send yourself a PM (usually right when you log in) you will be sown an optin to see any messages sent or recieved from there. There is no "auto alert" to tell you when you've recieved messages at this time so you will have to check it manually. Hope this helped you.
Happy Gaming :)
Okay, that needs to be fixed! PMing in-site is a 21st Century thing online. So now I know why I haven't gotten answers from any of my PMs. Was the site brought online when it wasn't ready. And we thought Obamacare had a bad roll out.

Walking past the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York City, you might catch a glimpse of a bright pink, floor-to-ceiling, perforated, amoeba-like shape. Don't be alarmed. "Situation Room", a collaborative project, is a self-supported interactive structure by architect Marc Fornes / TheVeryMany paired with Oslo-based artist Jana Winderen's engineered sounds. Visitors are invited to move within the installation, triggering the responsive sound. The passageways, apertures and tunnels are composed of 2000 parts designed by Fornes and fabricated by bengal.fierro. Patterns punched in the structure create patterns of shadow and light in the darkened room. Access to additional storefront projects is available through provided tablets.
"Reflecting on the contemporary conditions emerging between the digital and the physical realms, the collaboration of Winderen and Fornes collapses sound, light and form in an object with intrinsic sensorial behaviors, inviting visitors to question the properties of matter and the built environment surrounding us."(Source)
This site-specific work is immersive, enveloping visitors in a multi-sensory experience that enhances the tie between physical space and sound. The idea that human presence affects built environments is made clear by the integration of responsive audio. Winderen's website explains, "She is concerned with finding and revealing sounds from hidden sources, both inaudible for the human senses and sounds from places and creatures difficult to access."
"The installation is a vibrating sound experiment that aims to transform the architecture into animated sensible form. Conceived as a sound object that absorbs and contrasts the site specificity of the Storefront Gallery with abstract, spatial, formal and acoustic variations and compositions, Situation NY raises questions about context, sensorial readings, estrangement and the uncanny tangentially resonating with contemporary debates around the ontology of objects." (Source)
The "Situation Room" was created with the support of Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and is on display through November 1, 2014.Photos by Miguel de Guzmán. (via Hi-Fructose)

Crinkle a sheet of aluminum foil, flatten it back out a little, and use it to cover half of a cookie sheet. Cover the other half with a flat sheet of aluminum foil.
To make the flat textured lentil beads, cut one section of Denim clay with the straight slicer and cut that piece into fourths. Roll each fourth in your palm to make a ball. Spritz the texture makers with water. Set the ball onto a texture maker and place another texture maker on top. Press down to flatten the bead into a lentil shape. Remove the top texture maker, wet a straight pin, and while the bead is still attached to the bottom texture maker, wiggle the straight pin though the bead from the side to make a hole. Remove the pin and place the bead onto the crumpled aluminum foil on the cookie sheet. Repeat to create two Nutmeg and one Clover textured beads.
To make the small round beads, cut one section of the Clover and one section of the Denim clay. Cut each section into 8 equal pieces. Roll one section into a ball in the palms of your hands. Wiggle a wet straight pin through the ball. While the ball is on the pin, texture the bead with the 5-in-1 Clay Tool using the metal ball end. Slide the bead off the straight pin and place on the crumpled aluminum foil on the cookie sheet. Repeat to make five Clover and one Denim texture beads.
To make the owl pendant, cut one section of the Denim clay. Soften the clay in your hands and place on your work surface. Place two stacks of 13 cards* on your work surface on either side of the clay. Roll out the clay with the acrylic roller placing the roller ends on top of the card stacks. Spritz the Inchie stamp with water. Place the Inchie face down on the clay. Trade the 13-card stacks for 9-card stacks and roll the Inchie into the clay. Set the card stacks aside, and with the Inchie still on the clay, trim the pendant with the straight slicer. Remove the Inchie and cut around the pendant with the wavy cutter. Carefully lift the pendant with a single playing card and place on the smooth foil part of the cookie sheet.
To make the "HOOT" bead, cut one section of the Nutmeg clay. Roll it out 9 cards high. Spritz the letter stamps with water. Press H-O-O-T into the clay. Cut the bead around the word into a rectangle with the straight slicer. Poke a hole in both ends with the 5-in-1 Clay Tool using the pointer tip. Spritz the lace texture maker with water and gently press on the surface to add some texture. Carefully lift the bead with a single playing card and place on the flat part of the cookie sheet. Bake the beads at 275º F for 30 minutes and let cool.
Antique each bead one at a time by painting it with the Antique Medium, then immediately wiping the surface with paper towel. Let the beads dry completely, then paint each one with a coating of Satin Glaze.
Make a bail for the owl pendant with a 3" piece of copper wire. Use the round-nose pliers to make a wrapped loop through the circle piece of the toggle clasp. Twist the other end into a spiral and use the Goop to glue the spiral flat to the back of the owl pendant. Let dry.
Cut a 3" piece of copper wire and feed one end through the loop on the toggle circle and secure with a wrapped loop. Feed 1 daisy spacer, 1 green round Sculpey bead, and 1 daisy spacer onto the wire. Finish the end with a wrapped loop. Cut another 3" piece of copper wire and feed it through the last loop and use it to create an identical spacer-bead-spacer component. Repeat until you have three linked components attached to your necklace.
Cut an 11" piece of beading wire. Feed a crimp bead onto the end of the wire, feed the end through the last loop of the last component, then back through the crimp bead. Press the crimp bead closed with the chain-nose pliers. Trim the excess wire and cover with a crimp bead cover. String the beads as shown in the picture. Finish the end with a crimp bead and cover.
Cut a 3" piece of copper wire and feed one end through the beading wire loop on the strung beads. Secure with a wrapped loop. Feed 1 sapphire bicone crystal, 1 round peach crystal, and 1 sapphire bicone crystal onto the wire. Feed the end through the "HOOT" bead and finish the end with a wrapped loop.
Cut another 3" piece of copper wire and feed it through the "HOOT" bead and secure with a wrapped loop. Feed 1 small olive bicone crystal, 1 round sapphire crystal, and 1 small olive bicone crystal onto the wire. Finish the end with a wrapped loop.
- Cut a 7" piece of beading wire. Feed a crimp bead onto the end of the wire, feed the end through the last loop of the last component, then back through the crimp bead. Press the crimp bead closed with the chain-nose pliers. Trim the excess wire and cover with a crimp bead cover. String the beads as shown in the picture. Slide a crimp bead onto the end, then slide the end through the bar piece of the toggle clasp, then back through the crimp bead. Press the crimp bead closed, trim the end, and cover with a crimp bead cover.

Journalist Tom Brokaw to deliver Eugene J. McCarthy Lecture
August 13, 2012
Video archive of McCarthy Lecture
Tom Brokaw, NBC News television journalist and author, will deliver the sixth annual Eugene J. McCarthy Lecture titled "Conscience and Courage in Public Life" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, in the Saint John's Abbey and University Church.
The lecture is free and open to the public, but tickets are required to attend. Tickets are available at the Benedicta Arts Center Box Office on the College of Saint Benedict campus or by calling 320-363-5777. Box Office academic hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
The lecture is co-sponsored by The Eugene J. McCarthy Center for Public Policy and Civic Engagement at Saint John's University, the University Chair in Critical Thinking at Saint John's University and the Diamond Certificate in Civic Leadership through the Inspiring Leaders Certificate Program at CSB and SJU.
Brokaw has spent his entire distinguished journalism career with NBC News beginning in 1966 in the Los Angeles bureau, where he covered Ronald Reagan's first run for public office as California governor, and McCarthy's 1968 presidential campaign.
From Los Angeles, Brokaw went to Washington, D.C., in 1973 as the White House correspondent during Watergate and as the principal backup for John Chancellor as anchor of NBC Nightly News. His next stops were in New York on Today from 1976-82 and then as anchor of NBC Nightly News from 1982-2004.
He has an impressive list of firsts, including the first interview with Mikhail Gorbachev, the first network report on human rights abuses in Tibet accompanied by an exclusive interview with the Dali Lama, and the only American network anchor to report from Berlin the night the Berlin Wall came down in November 1989.
In 1998, Brokaw published his first book, The Greatest Generation. He followed that with five other books, including Boom! Voices of the Sixties and, most recently, The Time of our Lives.
Brokaw has won every major award in his profession, including Peabody, Duponts, Emmys and lifetime achievement recognition. A native of Webster, S.D., Brokaw graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of South Dakota.
The Eugene J. McCarthy Lecture was established in January 2006. McCarthy spent seven years as a student at Saint John's Preparatory School and University, and nearly one year as a member of the Benedictine community of Saint John's Abbey.
The lecture series carries on McCarthy's deep commitment to the ideals and principles of democratic self-government. It seeks to inspire a new generation of young people to pursue fresh ideas, to challenge the status quo, to effect positive change in their communities and, like McCarthy himself, to lead with honesty, integrity and courage.
Past lecturers in the series have included newspaper columnist, author and commentator E.J. Dionne (2007); civil rights leader Julian Bond (2008); former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel (2009); Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (2010); and columnist and political analyst Mark Shields (2011).

Psychologist, Therapist, and Marriage Counselor | Thousand Oaks, CA
Welcome to the website for Thousand Oaks psychologist, Dr. Laura Thomas. I hope you will find some helpful information about psychotherapy and my services to individuals, couples, and families in Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley in the following pages. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors around issues of: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions (such as divorce or job loss), chronic illness and disease.
When to turn to a psychologist
Life can present us with many challenges and difficulties that we are not prepared to deal with. Although family and friends may be supportive and desire to be helpful, they may be limited in their ability to be objective. Sometimes it is helpful to have the assistance of a trained professional, such as a therapist, to guide you through your life's journey with it's challenges, obstacles, and hurdles. A counselor can assist you in learning about yourself and help you acquire alternative coping techniques to the problems you are facing. Additionally, a psychologist can facilitate your making key changes in your life that result in greater peace and happiness.

As people journey through their lives, each will meet with obstacles and challenges that they must overcome in a healthy manner in order to continue growing and moving forward. Our bodies and minds are equipped with a wonderful capability to adapt, process and problem solve. Despite these rich inner resources, there are times in each person's life when they feel stuck or unable to resolve a problem or reconcile a major change. Perhaps they do not yet have the necessary skills to cope with a new situation or the emotions surrounding an incident are too overwhelming to deal with on their own. At these times, the services of a Thousand Oaks therapist may help the individual learn new skills, process a difficult loss or make self-care decisions that will lead to greater confidence and peace.
A psychologist journeys alongside a person as they travel through a difficult season of their life. Some worry that visiting a psychologist in Thousand Oaks would mean that they are sick or that something is wrong with them. In reality, mental health professionals most often deal with functioning people who simply need help refining coping mechanisms or whose life is out of balance in some area. A therapist does not attempt to fix an individual but rather works with her in a collaborative relationship to help her discover her own inner resources. In this way, working through a problem or issue with a counselor can empower a person to have more confidence in her coping abilities.
There are a variety of reasons why an individual might seek out the psychologists Thousand Oaks has to offer. Many seek mental health support when they are experiencing a major life change or transition such as a marriage, divorce, move or career change. A psychologist can help such individuals process the changes that are occurring and support them in creating a strategy or acquiring skills that will help them be successful in this new life stage. Others may seek a psychologist as a result of a struggle with imbalances in their emotions or thought patterns such as debilitating depression and anxiety. These can be difficult and overwhelming challenges to face alone, and a mental health counselor can guide people towards healthier thought patterns and behaviors.
While many people think about visiting a psychologist at some point in their life, many do not because they are unsure of what to expect. Media stereotypes surrounding psychology have obscured the process that lies at the heart of the counseling process: a confidential, trusting relationship between the psychologist and the person seeking help. Meeting with a psychologist can be a rewarding first step toward creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life. After the initial anxiety of the first meeting, talking with a psychologist can be similar to a comfortable, challenging conversation with a friend. Having the courage to make a phone call or step inside an office can be difficult but shows a commitment to a healthy and positive way of living.

NM Tech and Sandia To Sign MOU, Dec. 10, 2001
Sandia Media Relations
Contact: Chris Burroughs, (505) 844-0948, firstname.lastname@example.com
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., December 10, 2001 - In a move to accredit the Weapon Intern Program and advance the state of the art of manufacturing technologies at the Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories, officials from the Labs and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will sign two memorandums of understanding (MOU) Tuesday, Dec. 11. The signing ceremonies will be held at 9 a.m. at the Sandia Cooperative Monitoring Center located just outside the Eubank gate entrance to Kirtland Air Force Base.
One agreement will establish a master's degree program in engineering mechanics with a specialty in explosive engineering. The degree program was initiated for participants in Sandia's Weapon Intern Program. The other signing will enter an agreement with the university to do new research and development in areas related to power sources manufacturing.
Signing for the Weapon Intern Program MOU will be Joan Woodard, Sandia executive vice president, and Dr. Daniel H. López, president of New Mexico Tech.
Participating in the signing for the research and development related to power sources will be Lenny Martinez, Sandia vice president for manufacturing systems, science and technology; Robert Bickes, manager of Sandia's Power Source Components Department; John Meason, director of the New Mexico Tech's Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center; and President López.
Weapon Intern MOU
The Weapon Intern Program trains the next generation of weaponeers at Sandia in an intense two-year program that gives young scientists and engineers a broad and in-depth understanding of nuclear weapons and the entire weapons complex. As part of the MOU, New Mexico Tech gives the interns 21 hours of graduate credit for the courses they take as part of the program. In addition, Harold Walling, New Mexico Tech professor of mechanical engineering, conducts three classes - an introduction to explosive engineering, shock wave theory, and advanced explosive engineering. The university also considers the research the interns do part of the program as their independent studies.
"The three courses round out the 30 hours the interns need to obtain a masters degree," says Andy Rogulich, program manager and instructor. "This degree gives each participant something personal to take away when the program ends and the knowledge of explosives that will benefit Sandia no matter which department they are in."
The Weapon Intern Program is also working on establishing a Ph.D. program with New Mexico Tech. Roy Baty, a 2000 graduate of the program, will teach one of the six required courses. The courses, plus a dissertation, written and oral exams and completion of the masters degree, will earn participants a Ph.D. in an energetic materials disciplines.
Regional Alliance for Manufacturing Project
The MOU dealing with new research and development related to power sources manufacturing was signed with the university's Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC). It is part of Sandia's Regional Alliance for Manufacturing Project (RAMP), established by Vice President Martinez to advance the state of the art of manufacturing technologies that support national security strategic business units.
Under the agreement, scientific and engineering experts from EMRTC will collaborate in research with Sandia's Power Source Components, Independent Surveillance Assessments & Statistics, and Reliability Assessment & Human Factors Departments. Their initial work will focus on thermal batteries - figuring out how to process them better by developing and applying statistical methods necessary to assure high reliability and quality in small lot production; traditional techniques require sample sizes too large to be used cost effectively.
"We are really enthusiastic about this MOU because it signifies the beginning of new manufacturing research collaborations and potential new funding sources for Sandia," says Cesar Lombana, manager of Sandia's Concurrent Design and Manufacturing Program Department and RAMP Manager. "We see this as a way to really improve the manufacturing capabilities of these batteries that are high-tech, small-lot production parts and that are part of nearly every weapons system."
Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin company, for the U.S. Department of Energy. With main facilities in Albuquerque, N.M., and Livermore, Calif., Sandia has major R&D responsibilities in national security, energy and environmental technologies, and economic competitiveness.

Experimentation: Big Love takes big risks
Inspired by Aeschylus' The Suppliant Women— widely considered the oldest play in Western culture– Charles Mee's Big Love follows 50 sisters who flee their planned, arranged marriages to 50 brothers and seek sanctuary at an Italian villa.
The UVA Drama Department offers this production as the last in its current season. If you saw the most recent Live Arts show, Mee's Summer Evening in Des Moines, you've had a taste of this playwright's quirky and incisive storytelling.
A hit of the 2000 Humana Festival of New American Plays, Big Love has only recently graced regional stages. Mee, whose theatrical works include Orestes and the Obie Award-winning Vienna, created Big Love as part of a dramatic trilogy examining romantic relations, the other two plays being First Love and True Love.
In this script, when the 50 sisters (played by three actresses–Stephanie Danna, Faith Hurley, and Heather Mayes) abandon the 50 brothers (played by three actors– Chris Cannon, Tyler Lassiter, and Ebenezer Quaye), the men follow them, demanding the mass wedding take place.
Their arguments and negotiations explore the range of emotions for both genders. "Big Love examines ancient themes of justice and revenge while also portraying a hilarious battle of the sexes," says James Scales, publicity director for the Drama Department. "At the same time, it offers a delightful balance of humor, romance, and wild theatricality."
In a rather unorthodox artistic turn, the show boasts two directors: Betsy Rudelich Tucker, who teaches acting and directing at the University, and Marianne Kubik, who joined the UVA drama faculty this year and heads the movement sequence for the MFA program.
Tucker has directed many shows locally for the UVA stage, for Live Arts, and recently for the Shenandoah Shakespeare Company. Kubik comes to the University from the University of Kansas, where she recently directed and choreographed an adaptation of Jack London's Call of the Wild.
Both directors recognize the unusual challenges of such a production. "Mee's script suggestions provide for– or rather insist upon– experimentation being at the forefront in the rehearsal process," Kubik says.
Tucker believes the show requires a committed creative effort, demanding the expertise and imagination of everyone working on the production. "We call it Biiiiig Love," she jokes.
Big Love plays April 10-12 and April 16-19 at the Culbreth Theater, 109 Culbreth Road. 8pm. $7-12. 924-3376.

Will LeBron James Be the Best the NBA Has Ever Seen? — Sports Survey of the Day
We know that by asking such a question we are at risking the ridicule of NBA purists, but after LeBron James won his fourth Most Valuable Player award, we're a bit curious.
James's latest trophy another accomplishment he can add to his already highly impressive résumé. With the honor, James became just the fourth player in NBA history to win at least four MVPs. Wilt Chamberlain also had four; Bill Russell and Michael Jordan won five; and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tops the list with six.
While those players have won more titles than James, he is still in the prime of his career. Right now the Miami Heat are looking title-bound once again. At just 28 years old, James has already accomplished a lot, and we can only see him doing more—much more.

5/14/13 White Sox at Twins: Target Field
First of all, before I get started, I forgot to tell all of you that the BallhawkFest video I did a while ago came with it's fair share of bloopers, so here's that video:
It's unlisted, so you can see it here, but the only other place to see it is I'll have an annotation for it in the main BallhawkFest video.
Now that we have that out of the way, here's your semi-regularly-scheduled entry. Well actually, while we're posting videos up here, I made a Before The Gates Open video for here. Yes, I coming back with this video series in 2013, re-doing all the stadiums I did last year and any new ones I visit this year. (Except for the Cell because those two games I went to the weekend prior to this game were probably the last I'll be there this season.) But anyway, without further ado, here is the 2013 version of Before The Gates Open- Target Field:
Click here to go to that video, since it's being stupid and doesn't want to embed on this page.
After that, Sean and I stood in line and waited for the gates to finally open:
Once we got in the gates, it was Sean and not I who snagged the first baseball. See Sean had been in contact with either Hector Santiago or Brian Omogrosso—I can't remember which— on Twitter and had gotten whoever it was to follow him. He had also asked the player if the player could toss Sean a ball at the game later on. When Sean asked him for a ball, the player recognized him and obliged his request:
He then rubbed the fact that he had snagged infinitely more baseballs at this game than I had for the next five to ten minutes. But, being Sean, that was his day of ballhawking as he went and got food soon after that.
While he was gone eating, I was snagging. The first ball I got was in right-center field. When a ball rolled to the wall, I got Matt Thorton to toss me my first ball of the game:
After I got this ball, I headed to the back of the section I was in and gave the ball to the usher instructing him to give the ball away to the next kid with a glove he saw.
I then headed out to the standing room for one reason: Adam Dunn was hitting. Just as I got there Dunn put a ball right in the middle of the triangle created by Gate 34, the program vendor, and the beer stand in the following picture:
(Normally I would draw an arrow for you, but I'm writing this entry on my phone.) I chased after this ball, but it bounced outside of the gate, so I couldn't pursue it any further. After I gave up on the chase, I went back to the flag pole of the American flag. A few pitches later, Dunn launched a ball almost directly at me. I took a couple steps forward before I saw a man in front of me in the wheelchair section reaching up for the ball with his hand. Since I've narrowly missed getting clocked by a couple deflections, so I simply put my glove where the ball would go with no deflection and turned my face away from the ball. Thankfully the guy completely whiffed and the ball landed in my glove:
Given that I'm one of—if not THE worst ballhawks I've seen in the outfield at judging fly balls, this was a nice proud moment for me. Unfortunately it would be my last ball of batting practice. I would head off to left field after that, and had an open row to run:
But everything that cleared the wall was going in the first two rows. There was also room deeper in the section:
But of course it pretty much takes a line drive to reach back there, so it's not a great place in general. Fast-forward to after batting practice, Sean and I met up with one of his dorm room floor friends, Mikey in left field. Mikey—like most sane people—got to the game after batting practice given the fact that it was 99 degrees. We then decided that all three of us needed to document our group with each of us taking a different form of social media. Sean took Vine, Mikey took Snapchat, and I picked putting the picture of this blog:
When the White Sox coaches came to the bullpen, I headed over there to try to get a ball from them as they cleared the balls that had gone in there during batting practice. Then, I got a ball from the back-up bullpen catcher, whose name I don't know, tossed me one of the the baseballs in the bullpen:
We then stayed in left field for a couple innings until the seats got crowded. Sean and Mikey then went to seats in third base foul ground, and I headed out to the standing room in right field:
I don't need to sit when I have a view like that. Of course no one hit a ball anywhere near me, but it was a nice game to watch.
At the end of the game I headed down to the umpire tunnel and got a ball from home plate umpire Jordan Baker for my fourth and final ball of the game:
So yeah. Overall a fun day at the ballpark. I would then meet Mikey and Sean, and we would head out of the stadium and back to campus where Sean and I would say goodbye until probably September as I would spend the next two days preparing for my final on Friday, which I would still find a way to not do that well on.
- 4 Baseballs at this Game (3 shown because I gave 1 away)
Numbers 509-512 for my career:
- 66 Balls in 14 Games= 4.71 Balls Per Game
- 4 Balls x 32,023 Fans(Nice palindromic attendance number)= 128,092 Competition Factor
- 76 straight Games with at least 1 Ball
- 3 straight Games with at least 2-3 Balls
- 117 Balls in 26 Games at Target Field= 4.5 Balls Per Game
- 24 straight Games with at least 1 Ball at Target Field
- 4 straight Games with at least 2-4 Ball at Target Field
- Time Spent On Game 3:32-10:47= 7 Hours 15 Minutes

A Bill of Sale is also known as a/an:
A Bill of Sale is a form that a seller uses to document the sale of an item to a buyer. It serves as a receipt for personal sales and purchases and includes buyer and seller information and details about the goods, their location, and the price.
Both parties should fill out and retain a copy of the signed Bill of Sale as a proof of purchase or as a proof of payment.
A Bill of Sale should only be used for "as-is" purchases when payment in full will be made once the item is exchanged, and both parties accept to buy and sell the item in its current condition. It expressly disclaims any warranties that relate to the quality or fitness of the product.
If you are looking for a contract that includes more specific terms, provides warranties or you wish to have full payment made after the item is provided, LawDepot also offers a Sales Agreement form.
"As-is" is an important term in a Bill of Sale form. It means that the item was bought and sold in its current condition and that the buyer is accepting the item with all of its faults, whether they are apparent or not.
"As-is" protects the seller from having to refund the buyer for any item-related issues after it was received and paid for.
A Bill of Sale is used to protect both the seller and the purchaser in the case of any future issues. Since many purchases and sales between individuals are transacted using cash, it can be hard to prove that an item was received or paid for without proper documentation.
A Bill of Sale acts as a receipt for both parties. The seller can use it to prove that an item was sold to the purchaser "as-is", and the buyer can use it to prove that payment in full was given to the seller. It also provides a sale date to both parties, which can show when the responsibility of the item was transferred. Both the purchaser and the seller can use a Bill of Sale as evidence of the price paid for tax purposes.
If the item happens to be insurable, you may need to provide documentation to prove that you are the legal owner of an item, or that you are no longer in possession of the item. A Bill of Sale, if completed correctly, can be used as proof of ownership.
You can use a Bill of Sale form for a variety of items, such as:
It is not recommended that you use a Bill of Sale in instances where there isn't a transfer of ownership since a Bill of Sale is best used for the sale and purchase of physical goods. When providing or hiring services, it's more appropriate to use a document like a Service Agreement or an Independent Contractor Agreement.
It should also be noted that you can't use a Bill of Sale to transfer the ownership of or the title to a piece of real estate. In such instances, you'll likely need a Quitclaim Deed or a similar document.
A Bill of Sale should be used by anyone who is looking to sell or purchase an item. This includes:
Using a Bill of Sale is recommended even when selling or trading items with friends or family members because of the document's power to show proof of ownership.
For example, if a parent gifts or sells their vehicle to their child, the child will need a Bill of Sale to prove their ownership of the car so they can get it registered and insured.
