WBB: Glover Named Women's Basketball Assistant Coach
Jul. 25, 2012 1:22 PM | Author: Viking Sports Admin | Updated: Jul. 25th, 2012 1:24 PM
Glover comes to the Vikings after spending last season as the Director of Basketball Operations for the UW-Milwaukee women's basketball program.
Prior to UW-Milwaukee, she played professionally, spending time with teams in Finland, Poland and, most recently, Australia. In her final professional season, Glover played for the Southwest Slammers, averaging 19.0 points and 14.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.
Glover was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner at UW-Green Bay from 2005-09. She was an all-league second-team performer as a junior and was selected to the first team as a senior.
With the Phoenix, she played in the NCAA Tournament all four years. She scored 1,054 points and pulled down 447 rebounds while shooting 51 percent in 122 career games for Green Bay, leading the team in scoring as a senior.
"Lavesa comes from a DI program that has a storied tradition of excellence, and she understands what it takes to win championships and that's what we aspire to do here," VCSU head coach Jill DeVries said. "She brings an understanding of pressure defense and post player development which is a good fit for our program. We are thrilled to have her join us at VCSU.'
A native of Miami, Fla., Glover majored in electronic media/communications at Green Bay and graduated in 2009.

Every little kid reaches a point in their life when they develop a fascination with trains. Sometimes it proves to be just a phase which is gone almost as quickly as it started or it grows into a love that lasts a lifetime. When it does become a lifelong hobby it often becomes expensive and grows to encompass things far beyond a variety of Thomas the Train Engine toys. Have you ever seen the realistic model train set ups that true enthusiasts get involved with? They are as detailed and intricate as anything that you have ever seen. They are also super complicated, as is a realistic train simulator, which is exactly what Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 (TS12) is.
Just as the name implies, TS12 is a robust and detailed train simulator. This isn't necessarily a game in the sense of having missions and goals, or and "end point" per se. The sole purpose of the software is to deliver an accurate portrayal of the engineering experience. If that sounds like something that you would be interested in then strap on your conductor's hat and pull the steam horn because this train is leaving the station.
There are a variety of things you "railroders" can do in the game with standard, career, free roam, and create modes available. The standard and career modes are similar in the sense that they both challenge you to put your skills as a conductor to the test. You are given a variety of missions and challenges to deliver either passengers or various goods to a predetermined location safely. Along the way you will have to try and be mindful of thing such as weather conditions and rail speed limits in order to avoid catastrophic accidents. This experience will come across as extremely mundane to the stereotypical gamer but train hobbyists will be awed by the level of detail and complication of the experience.
You truly have to know what you are doing to succeed in the game as it isn't as simple as pressing one button to go and another to stop. Granted, the beginner setting in the game simply gives you a throttle and a directional switch, but to get the total experience you will want to choose the more advanced options. These consist of a variety of multitude of buttons and options including horns, throttles, direction levers, rail brakes, and lights and things function differently depending on the type of train that you are conducting. You will have to monitor various gauges and meters for different things when you are operating steam, diesel, and electric variations of different train models. There is a lot to learn and it is something that only the diehard will appreciate.
I never quite grasped the concept of effectively conducting the trains enough to dive feet first into the career mode(s). Most of my time was spent in the slightly simplified free roam area of the game. You still have to content with all of the various instruments and requirements of the different trains but you aren't under the pressure of completing your tasks in a certain amount of time. This mode gives players a chance to sit back and just enjoy the experience of taking control of multiple tons of steel.
The other option available is a robust creation suite for gamers. In this mode, players can design and share their own track creations with friends. This proves to be quite a handy tool to the community as the base tracks in the game are rather lackluster and limited in their quantity. The game is really an entrance portal to a bevy of add-ons and expansions from the Railworks team. Additional tracks and content is pushed at you through the various menus and screens which you can purchase to extend the experience. Just like the rest of the game, this is the sort of stuff that true fans of the genre will likely eat up while other gamers will simply scoff at the concept of forking over a couple more bucks for a track based in the English countryside.
One area that I will say that the game did thoroughly impress me with is the visuals and amount of detail put into the experience. The developers went all out in crafting a gorgeous world to drive these locomotives around in the. The rolling mountains and country sides are beautiful and the expansive draw distances, assuming you have the video card to power them, really add an amazing sense of depth to the experience. Those looking for a chance to get away from life and just enjoy the road could easily get lost in watching the fields just fly by. The weather effects are equally as impressive too as the introduction of precipitation into your trip really looks phenomenal.
Unfortunately, the visuals and effects are so detailed that it takes the game an incredibly long amount of time to load a track. When I say long, I am not talking about 30-45 seconds, I mean a matter of r3-5 minutes. Every track in the game takes an immensely long time to load up which really dampens the exploit for someone who isn't really dedicated to the experience. I tried it on a Dual Core, 1.8 GHZ machine with 4 GB of RAM and a Dual Core 2.2 GHZ machine with 6GB of Ram and the load times were nearly identical. They just appear to be a fact of life in the game and serve as just one more thing, on top of the complicated controls, that will turn off gamers who aren't here due to their love of trains.
What else can I really say? This is a train simulator after all. Life as a conductor may seem exciting and "cool" as a kid but the reality is that it is actually pretty dull. This isn't an exciting experience filled with fast paced tracks and exciting gameplay. Fans of the genre will undoubtedly love every second of the accurate representation of the conductor's job but everyone else is going to grow bored and not appreciate what TS12 has to offer. This game is the definition of a niche simulator and something that will appeal to a small (and I mean small) base of fans compared to other titles hitting the shelves this Fall. If you love "railroading" then look no further as this is about as detailed and realistic as they come but if you could care less, keep moving along.

An Ode to "Old"
Bringing a fresh, new puppy or kitten into your family can be so much fun! But, at HAWS we always like to remind people that adult pets can be just as wonderful...and your journey together so meaningful. With age comes wisdom - for all species...
When you commit to your dog, cat or other pet for it's lifetime, guiding that pet through the senior years is inevitable. Life with an older pet is so rewarding - whether you've been together from the beginning or just found each other later in life.
Several of my co-workers and I are on a similar "schedule" with our pets. We all adopted our babies back in the late 90s or early 00s, so we've been watching them grow up and grow old together. Sadly, we are also starting to see those beloved dogs and cats pass on - Mason at age 12, Belle at 16, Linx at 19. Dozer was 12, Magnum was 11 and Bailey was 14. While we grieve for each of them, we also know that they probably blessed our lives more than we did theirs!
Each time we lose a pet it reminds us to live more in the moment - and in our cases, especially with those pets who are still sharing our lives. I feel gratitude for every day I still have with my Fuzzy Mutt, Freeway, who turned 15 about 2 weeks ago..and doesn't let us forget that! Stiff and sore in the morning? So what - it's time for a walk! Bedtime? No way, not while there's still squeak in that squeaky toy. Quiet time? Well, since you're just sitting there you may as well give me an earrub or neck scratch.
Pets bring value to our lives at any age. If you want a jogging partner, definitely bring home an energetic pup. And when you're looking to add a little serenity to your life, that 8-years-young cat or dog is ready and waiting.
Just don't miss a minute! And enjoy the journey - together.
By the way - some super sweet "older" pets are waiting for homes at HAWS right now. Like Aries the cat, age 12; Bear the MinPin, age 10 (pictured at left); Kenya the Pittie, age 6; Sebastian the cat, age 11 (pictured at top). Stop by 7 days a week to view and adopt - we'd all love to see you!
HAWS' Viewing & Adoption Hours:
Monday - Friday, 1 - 6pm
Saturday, 11am - 4pm
Sunday, Noon - 4pm
Call and ask about any of our adoptables - our phone lines open at 9am Monday thru Saturday, and at Noon on Sunday!
Not-So-Happy Holidays: Don't Let Criminals Ruin Your Festive Spirit
One of the many reasons I eagerly awaited the Christmas Season while growing up was the chance to sit down in front of the TV and watch the classic Dr. Seuss cartoon, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Seeing this green creature slither around through the houses in Whoville, snatching up all the toys – even the Roast Beast – would evoke big laughs, especially because you knew that, in the end, even the mean old Grinch would have a change of heart and get swept up in the spirit of the season.

A Tale of Two Kitties, Chelsea, One Big Bunny…and HAWS!
All the animals we help at HAWS have their own unique story, and together they make our mission come alive! Please enjoy these three "happy tails" from HAWS!
Trooper and the Old Timer
Two stray cats came to HAWS within a few weeks of each other needing lots of help. "Trooper" had such extensive injuries that one of his legs needed to be amputated, while "Old Timer" was blind and dealing with a bladder infection. After initial care at HAWS, one foster home took both cats for their recovery, and the two boys quickly became pals. They played and snuggled together, and despite losing a limb Trooper even brought toys to Old Timer. Once the boys were completely healthy they found that their temporary foster home was now a permanent one, and they continue to bring joy to that family today.
Six-month-old Chelsea came to HAWS knowing how to sit, but not much else! She was immediately placed in HAWS' Mod Squad™ program, to be handled and fed according to a plan tailored specifically to her needs. She wanted to please and made strides quickly, becoming more confident as she learned. When the right family came in they couldn't wait take her home! They enrolled her in HAWS' dog training program to continue her great progress – and each visit she pulls on the leash to see her "old family" from HAWS.
Giant Jaxon
Jaxon the Checkered Giant rabbit was found wandering, unneutered and with an overzealous "bun-sonality" making him difficult to handle. Due to his size and some of his personality traits he proved difficult to re-home. Through HAWS partnership with the Wisconsin House Rabbit Society, a little social networking and lots of work by HAWS' small animal crew, a great home was found for Jaxon. His new home has been given all the tools for success – including the suggestion of clicker training to give him something to do!

Once Again, Domestic Violence Commands a Grim Spotlight
Like many people, when I heard the first reports about the murder-suicide in Kansas City involving Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher and his longtime girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, I was struck by the utter horror of this senseless tragedy. You just shake your head and ask why would someone take the life of someone he loved and then turn the gun on himself? What life circumstances could have spiraled so horribly out of control?Once again,the crime of domestic violence forced its way into the national consciousness, just as the Brookfield salon shootings had done a month earlier. The fact that the Kansas City case involved an NFL player only heightened the profile of the case, perhaps creating an even deeper sense of public disbelief.

Tinsel and...TURTLES?!
While you bask in the glow of holiday presents, lights and good cheer, a few adoptable pets at HAWS are also basking, but they'd prefer it in new forever homes!
Bailey is an African Side-Necked Turtle, also known as a Serrated Mud Turtle. She (?) is active, hearty and curious (often shy at first, these turtles acclimate well and soon show their inquisitive sides!). Most African Side-necked Turtles can be kept in relatively simple housing because of their modest needs – a place to swim and a basking log. When basking, Bailey will "plop" into the water when approached…but once she knows you she will quickly surface to see if you have any food! Adult females can grow larger than most people realize, reaching 9-12" inches within five or six years.
Moo & Phillip came in together, and are sharing table space alongside Mr. Turtle (who might actually be female, ironically). All are Red Ear Sliders, a semi-aquatic turtle that is the most common reptile pet in the world. Unfortunately, they can be very complicated to own and often owners aren't ready for their needs! There is a great website devoted to them – www.redearslider.com (no, really) – that goes into lots of detail as to their needs, natural habitats and the like.
Bailey, Moo & Phillip and Mr. Turtle have been guests at HAWS since September. They are definitely fun to have around and the kids participating in our education programs really enjoy them, but they would really love to become someone's personal companions!
Adopt 4 Webbed Feet from HAWS!
By the way – you still have time to "eat for HAWS" since Taco John's Nachos Navidad promotion continues til the end of December. Looking forward to the New Year already? So are we, with HAWS hosting a Waukesha JanBoree event, Cool Your Paws at HAWS, on Saturday, January 19 and then our Friends of HAWS polka party, Oom-Pa Paws, coming up on Saturday, January 26! All the details are at hawspets.org – or just call us at 262-542-8851.
Courtroom Insider: You've Just Been Charged. Now What?
Maybe it's not something you've ever really considered. After all, you might be telling yourself, "I'm a law abiding citizen. Why would I need to know about what happens if I were to be charged with a crime?"
Bella of the Ball
Need a date for New Year's Eve? Or maybe a reason to stay home and snuggle on the couch? At HAWS, we've got an idea…
Meet Bella, a sweet 2-year-old Lab!
Bella came to HAWS just a short while ago, when her previous home couldn't take her along when they moved. She is enjoying her time with our staff, as you can see, but her resolution is to be in a great new home for 2013.
This little girl (she's not the big, bulky lab you might be used to) is a bit shy at first, but loves attention and treats. She doesn't always like other dogs so a meet'n'greet with another canine sibling is a must, and Bella definitely is NOT a cat fan. Her new family will need to be older as she startles easily around younger kids.
Bella and a bunch of her adoptable pals, like Jack Frost, Jingle, Tiny Tim and Packer are available for viewing at HAWS today! Stop by and see if one of these pups is in your future – or if one of our many cats, rabbits or other small animals will make your New Year bright.
HAWS Holiday Hours:
HAWS is open for normal viewing, adoption and receiving from Wednesday, December 26 through Sunday, December 30. On New Year's Eve we are open for receiving-only, from 9am – 3pm, and HAWS is closed on New Year's Day. But, if you need help when we're closed, there is always someone on 24-hour call to assist you!
By the way – you still have a few days to take advantage of Nachos Navidad for HAWS at Taco John's! Satisfy your nacho craving and help HAWS, too, with 25 cents from each order donated to our shelter.
Feliz Navidad and Feliz Ano Nuevo!
Reflections on Tragedy: Looking Back at 2012
As 2012 draws to a close, I've been reflecting about several tragic crimes that left an ugly mark on the entire year. Two of these high profile crimes involved domestic violence. First, there were the Azana Spa & Salon murders and suicide in Brookfield. Then, in Kansas City, we heard about the tragic murder-suicide involving Jovan Belcher of the Chiefs and his longtime girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins.
countdown to New Year's
This Jan. 1st will be my fifth Polar Plunge into Lake Michigan. The predicted single digit temps have me a little concerned, but only a little. Preparation is everything, so I've put together a little list of lessons learned to make a first-timer's plunge safer and more enjoyable.

I took a chance and ordered a brand I've never tried. The suit fits perfectly and it arrived very quickly. I love it and would definitely recommend it to my friends.
Great swimsuit! Love color combination. Fit well. The only thing I may change is the location of the strap and clasp. I may place it closer to the neck. People w/short arms, or people who have difficulty manipulating things w/their hands, may more easily reach and manage the strap and clasp if it were closer to the neck.
very nice swimsuit--but the clasp is just impossible to get without someone else to help you--after many tries, I just decided it had to go back. it runs a tad big, which can be a problem in swimsuits as they stretch. not sure I could go a whole size down, but if you are borderline, order smaller. and make sure you have someone around to help you with the clasp!
Just like the bathing suit - was long in the bodice so it didn't ride up - lines going down accentuate the figure.
I love this suit and get mant compliments on it. I have no problem with the back closure. I use it for water exercise classes. It is holding up well.
I liked the design of this suit and the color but I could not fasten it across my back-- just too difficult to get into. So I must return it.
Very happy with this suit. Fits well and is very comfortable and is chlorine resistant.
I had to buy a swimsuit for fitness classes in the water, and of course, in the middle of winter. I went looking everywhere, and at all the online places too. I got a great deal on this suit, it's not cut too short anywhere, fits true to size, and seems to be very chlorine resistant. I'm in a chlorine water pool, then a bromine hot tub twice or so a week, with a clear water rinse when I'm done. After a month, it's still as vibrant a color as when I started. The back clasp I thought might be tricky, because I'm dealing with a shoulder injury too, but it's really very user-friendly to get it done and undone when needed. Overall a very good value and suit.

With Valentine's Day approaching this week, much will be spent on flowers, chocolate, and small baubles as men of all ages seek to communicate in just the right way the simple words: "I love you". February 14th is a day when some will even seek out the bonds of marriage, while some others may have chosen this day specifically to tie the proverbial knot. As I watch this yearly phenomena, I wonder how much of it is sincere, how much of it is advertising coercion (buy this for her and she'll love you, or don't and you're a dead man!), and last of all, how long it will last.
That last question really bothers me. I hope it bothers you, too.
How long does "I love you" last?
It reminds me of the joke where some married couple is arguing and the wife accuses her husband of never telling her "I love you" often enough. At the end of the joke he finally ends the argument by saying, "I told you I love you the day we were married. If anything changes, I'll let you know!"
The problem with a love that does not last is that it is a love based upon conditions.
Face it, we are taught to live a conditional life in a "do this for me and I'll do this for you" sort of way. Most people I know wouldn't work at their jobs very long without a paycheck. Even if they love what they are doing for a living, there has to be the condition of payment or else they could not continue to do that job indefinitely. We walk out of stores with certain needs and wants in exchange for money. We tend to treat others with varying degrees of trust that are earned. Respect is also a two way street where our ability to respect someone can decrease rapidly with how well (or not) we feel respected or disrespected. The list of conditions in all of our various interactions and relationships with others is quite long!
It seems life is full of conditional arrangements. So then, it is quite a natural idea that how we love each other, even in marriage, would be conditional. The act of divorce itself is proof enough of that. If someone can answer the question "What would make you want a divorce?" then they have answered the condition(s) upon which their marriage would rest. However, God wants Christians in marriage to love unconditionally. Even though infidelity in marriage is listed as a possible reason for divorce, the act of divorce is still discouraged.
Because a Christian marriage is supposed to be a picture of God's love for us.
Does God love you conditionally or unconditionally?
For those of you reading this who have been through divorce yourself or know someone who has been through divorce and thinking of all the reasons why a divorce is justified, stop for a moment and think about the unconditional love of God for you.I realized one day that . . . . .

Good article - exposing just how BADLY our pResident is viewed by the rest of the world. FTA: "...it's notable that when Burns begged Abbas not to do this, and offered a re-engaged Obama in return, Abbas found nothing remotely enticing about the offer."It´s a horrible irony that the very people who need to know of this universal disdain, are the clueless/liberal Americans who voted for Obama… and the MSM who protect him.

If you have integrity and competency,then you´re incompatible to work for Obama.The only reason Bill Clinton did something sensible once in a while was because he was obsessed with keeping his approvals up.It´s hard to say Obama should get his way on everything when he´s underwater in job approval.The media hides the fact that half this country is still half conservative and if they all had voted Obama would have lost.Obama was never repatriated after his parents denounced his citizenship as a boy so he´s not even a legitimate president.Obama and his thugs control all the MSM outlets even those that supposedly report objective numbers. Instead of saying another almost 400,000 people lost their jobs last week,they simply said it was 23,000 down from the week before.This is the kind of crap that makes people think jobs and the economy are improving when they are not.

Who is the ambassador? He's not a real ambassador. He's a fake ambassador, a persona adopted by Danish documentarian Mads Brugger, the man behind this sardonic investigative essay on the corrupt blood diamond trade centered in the Central African Republic.
Deploying a variety of ethically dubious, cinematically "gotcha!" hidden cameras, Brugger, undercover, brings us into close quarters with a variety of real-life crooks and weasels in his adventure. The Central African Republic, the film illustrates, remains a magnet for black market, palm-greasing, get-rich-quick schemes, all dependent on the world's appetite for diamonds. The film entertains, yet Brugger may simply be a different sort of colonialist poacher, higher-minded than most. (His previous film was the North Korea survey "The Red Chapel.")
Your own response to "The Ambassador," deft as it is, will likely depend on how much you can tolerate in the broad genre of fake-umentaries and personality-driven exposes. This one's more sober than most, though some of the music cues (from the Mills Brothers catalog, among other sources) push the ironies pretty hard. Brugger's scheme is to open a match factory staffed by at least one Pygmy as an exotic selling point. The film itself falls somewhere between giant-size "Punk'd" and an amusing miniature.
No MPAA rating.
Running time: 1:33; in Danish, English and French with English subtitles.
Opens: Friday (through Thursday) at the Gene Siskel Film Center.

Jim Thompson's House
Jim Thompson was a designer, a silk magnate, a Thailophile, and, incidentally, a spy for the West. The history of his undercover involvement in the OSS and the personal politics of his later years are both fascinating and widely misrepresented. But at the Jim Thompson House in Bangkok, you will hear about none of this. … read the full post

Modules are the primary means of organizing Haskell code. We have already met them in passing, when using
import statements to put library functions into scope. In this chapter, we will have a closer look at how modules work. Beyond allowing us to make better use of libraries, such knowledge will help us to shape our own programs and, in particular, to create standalone programs which can be executed independently of GHCi (incidentally, that is the topic of the very next chapter, Standalone programs).
Haskell modules[1] are a useful way to group a set of related functionalities into a single package and manage a set of different functions that have the same name. The module definition is the first thing that goes in your Haskell file.
Here is what a basic module definition looks like:
module YourModule where
Note that
- the name of the module begins with a capital letter;
- each file contains only one module.
The name of the file must be that of the module but with a .hs file extension. Any dots '.' in the module name are changed for directories.[2] So the module YourModule would be in the file YourModule.hs while a module Foo.Bar would be in the file Foo/Bar.hs or Foo\Bar.hs. Since the module name must begin with a capital letter, the file name must also start with a capital letter.
One thing your module can do is import functions from other modules. That is, in between the module declaration and the rest of your code, you may include some import declarations such as
-- import only the functions toLower and toUpper from Data.Char import Data.Char (toLower, toUpper) -- import everything exported from Data.List import Data.List -- import everything exported from MyModule import MyModule
Imported datatypes are specified by their name, followed by a list of imported constructors in parenthesis. For example:
-- import only the Tree data type, and its Node constructor from Data.Tree import Data.Tree (Tree(Node))
Now what to do if you import some modules, but some of them have overlapping definitions? Or if you import a module, but want to overwrite a function yourself? There are three ways to handle these cases: Qualified imports, hiding definitions and renaming imports.
Qualified imports[edit]
Say MyModule and MyOtherModule both have a definition for remove_e, which removes all instances of e from a string. However, MyModule only removes lower-case e's, and MyOtherModule removes both upper and lower case. In this case the following code is ambiguous:
-- import everything exported from MyModule import MyModule -- import everything exported from MyOtherModule import MyOtherModule -- someFunction puts a c in front of the text, and removes all e's from the rest someFunction :: String -> String someFunction text = 'c' : remove_e text
It isn't clear which remove_e is meant! To avoid this, use the qualified keyword:
import qualified MyModule import qualified MyOtherModule someFunction text = 'c' : MyModule.remove_e text -- Will work, removes lower case e's someOtherFunction text = 'c' : MyOtherModule.remove_e text -- Will work, removes all e's someIllegalFunction text = 'c' : remove_e text -- Won't work, remove_e isn't defined.
See the difference? In the latter code snippet, the function remove_e isn't even defined. Instead, we call the functions from the imported modules by prefixing them with the module's name. Note that MyModule.remove_e also works if the qualified keyword isn't included. The difference lies in the fact that remove_e is ambiguously defined in the first case, and undefined in the second case. If we have a remove_e defined in the current module, then using remove_e without any prefix will call this function.
There is an ambiguity between a qualified name like
MyModule.remove_e and the function composition operator
(.). Writing
reverse.MyModule.remove_e is bound to confuse your Haskell compiler. One solution is stylistic: to always use spaces for function composition, for example,
reverse . remove_e or
Just . remove_e or even
Just . MyModule.remove_e
Hiding definitions[edit]
Now suppose we want to import both MyModule and MyOtherModule, but we know for sure we want to remove all e's, not just the lower cased ones. It will become really tedious to add MyOtherModule before every call to remove_e. Can't we just not import remove_e from MyModule? The answer is: yes we can.
-- Note that I didn't use qualified this time. import MyModule hiding (remove_e) import MyOtherModule someFunction text = 'c' : remove_e text
This works. Why? Because of the word hiding on the import line. Followed by it is a list of functions that shouldn't be imported. Hiding more than one function works like this:
import MyModule hiding (remove_e, remove_f)
Note that algebraic datatypes and type synonyms cannot be hidden. These are always imported. If you have a datatype defined in multiple imported modules, you must use qualified names.
Renaming imports[edit]
This is not really a technique to allow for overwriting, but it is often used along with the qualified flag. Imagine:
import qualified MyModuleWithAVeryLongModuleName someFunction text = 'c' : MyModuleWithAVeryLongModuleName.remove_e $ text
Especially when using qualified, this gets irritating. We can improve things by using the as keyword:
import qualified MyModuleWithAVeryLongModuleName as Shorty someFunction text = 'c' : Shorty.remove_e $ text
This allows us to use Shorty instead of MyModuleWithAVeryLongModuleName as prefix for the imported functions. As long as there are no ambiguous definitions, the following is also possible:
import MyModule as My import MyCompletelyDifferentModule as My
In this case, both the functions in MyModule and the functions in MyCompletelyDifferentModule can be prefixed with My.
Combining renaming with limited import[edit]
Sometimes it is convenient to use the import directive twice for the same module. A typical scenario is as follows:
import qualified Data.Set as Set import Data.Set (Set, empty, insert)
This give access to all of the Data.Set module via the alias "Set", and also lets you access a few selected functions (empty, insert, and the constructor) without using the "Set" prefix.
In the examples at the start of this article, the words "import everything exported from MyModule" were used.[3] This raises a question. How can we decide which functions are exported and which stay "internal"? Here's how:
module MyModule (remove_e, add_two) where add_one blah = blah + 1 remove_e text = filter (/= 'e') text add_two blah = add_one . add_one $ blah
In this case, only remove_e and add_two are exported. While add_two is allowed to make use of add_one, functions in modules that import MyModule cannot use add_one, as it isn't exported.
Datatype export specifications are written quite similarly to import. You name the type, and follow with the list of constructors in parenthesis:
module MyModule2 (Tree(Branch, Leaf)) where data Tree a = Branch {left, right :: Tree a} | Leaf a
In this case, the module declaration could be rewritten "MyModule2 (Tree(..))", declaring that all constructors are exported.
Maintaining an export list is good practice not only because it reduces namespace pollution, but also because it enables certain compile-time optimizations which are unavailable otherwise.
- ↑ See the Haskell report for more details on the module system.
- ↑ In Haskell98, the last standardised version of Haskell before Haskell 2010, the module system was fairly conservative, but recent common practice consists of employing an hierarchical module system, using periods to section off namespaces.
- ↑ A module may export functions that it imports. Mutually recursive modules are possible but need some special treatment.

Tom Verhaegen new general manager Royal Grolsch (Translation)
26 January 2012
- Rob Snel concludes career at Grolsch -
Starting April 1st, 2012, Tom Verhaegen will be the new general manager of Royal Grolsch N.V. He succeeds the current general manager, Rob Snel, who has held this position since May of 2008 and will stand down, because he has reached a pensionable age. Tom Verhaegen has extended knowledge in the field of Marketing and Sales and is also extremely familiar with the organisation of SABMiller and the beer market. Because of his enthusiasm and commercial experience, he is the right man to pick up where Rob Snel left off and carry on the successful history of Grolsch.
Tom Verhaegen is 39 years old, was born in Belgium and has over 15 years of commercial work experience. He has been working for SABMiller since 2009, currently in the role of Marketing Director Czech Republic at Plzensky Prazdroj, the brewer of Pilsner Urquell, among others. He started his professional career at British American Tobacco and has fulfilled several commercial positions there. Before he started working at SABMiller, he worked for Interbrew/ InBev for 7 years in the field of Marketing and Sales.
Passion for Grolsch
After almost 28 years in various management positions at Grolsch, Rob Snel will complete his career on June 1st, 2012 and retire. Rob Snel joined Grolsch in October of 1984 as the Head of Social Services. Starting from 1992 he has fulfilled various national and international commercial roles, amongst which that of President Grolsch International. In 2003, he joined the Board of Directors, and in May of 2008 he became the general manager of Royal Grolsch N.V.
Rob Pieterse, Chairman of the Board of Supervisory Directors of Royal Grolsch N.V: "Rob is a Grolsch man in heart and soul. He has an incredible amount of passion and commitment to his work, for the brewery and all its employees, and for the Grolsch beer. As a consequence of this and other factors, he is of great importance to the company and the Grolsch brand. Naturally, we will reflect upon Rob Snel's leaving and Tom Verhaegen's arrival in an appropriate manner."

To create a safe buying / selling environment, sellers must verify their identity with us. Sellers will be
charged a verification fee of $2.00 to go through a detailed security check. This
process is required in order to be able to sell. We reserve the right to deny access to site features if
we are unable to verify your identity.
For any item that is won by one a bidder we assess a final value fee based on the selling price of the item.
A sold item is one that is bid on and won by a bidder in accordance with our User
Agreement. If an item does not sell, no Final Value Fee is assessed. In other words, if you create a basic
listing (one that uses no Optional Services) and the item does not sell you owe us nothing.
Click here for a full description of the Final Value Fee.
Our Optional Services are designed to make your auction listing stand out from the others. The services consist of
priority placements and attention-getting features that help to get more bidders to look at and hopefully bid on
your item. No other print or online classified ad or auction venue offers the package of priority placement and
attention-getting options offered by GunBroker.com.
What's Free - We do not charge any 'insertion' fees for creating a basic listing. Basic
listings are completely free unless the item is won by a bidder (sold items are assessed a
Final Value Fee). When listing an item, the seller can decide
on an item-by-item basis which of our optional services (if any) to use. Our basic listings
are more powerful than the paid listings available on other sites or venues. Sellers can use
HTML to create fancy listings. Sellers can take advantage of our automated picture upload
facility to add pictures to their listings; if fact, we strongly recommend doing so. Basic
listings are can be very effective and they contain the same information as their Showcase
or Featured counterparts.
If your credit card fails to authorize, you will not be able to list additional items
until you use Place a Credit Card
on File on our For Sellers page to update your
card on file. If your card fails to authorize, your account must be paid promptly; past due
users will be suspended from using the site until the balance has been paid in full.
If a bidder wins an item but does not complete the transaction, you can request a
credit for the Final Value Fee plus the cost to relist the item at the same level of
optional services. Credit requests must be made within 60 days of the close of an
auction. Our Non-Paying Bidder
Overview located in For Sellers explains the
process of requesting a credit.
Scheduled Auctions are an extra-charge optional service that we provide to our sellers to allow them more
flexibility in creating and launching their auctions.
Here is how you calculate your Final Value Fee:
For example, a $1500 item would cost:
A $500 item would cost:

This shot is from a photo essay I did back in 1989 for my media arts class (pre digital) so it was done old school so to speak, since then while the negs were stored an effect called "Reticulation" occurred on some of the negs including this one shot on 400ASA B&W neg film. I kinda like the effect and it is hard to see on the small preview images, but there are random fine thin spider web patterns covering the image.

As required by Federal Law and not waived under our ESEA Flexibility Request, all Title I schools, including Title I Reward Schools, need to submit a school improvement plan to their school district office by Nov. 15.
In order to align with the district strategic plan, school plans are to be developed in consultation with the district, parents, community members and staff carrying out the plan. These plans are to be available for review by department. The plan should demonstrate how the Title I schoolwide or targeted assistance components are integral parts of the overall school plan.
Last year, the department significantly reduced the requirements of this plan and limited it to a maximum of four pages. Attached are suggestions on how to embed these components into the four-page school template. Districts can modify this document or use another document. The school should also document parental involvement in the development and review of the plan and any technical assistance provided in the development of the plan by the LEA or outside team.

@ anomalexie: Oh good! Those were last years requirements. You scared me for a bit there. xD
I didn't mean to, I'm sorry ; u;
@ watervase: aww thanks ; u; 3 i hope i get innnn~
@ watervase: It's a really great school from what I hear but very difficult to get into, either way I thought I'd give it a whirl. You should too if you're interested. And yeah, I did call also sent them an email. I'll have to call again tomorrow. Pretty sure admissions is closed now.
@ anomalexie: It's not a problem. xP
I was actually considering applying to LCAD, but I decided that it was just TOO small. I'm OK with Ringling small, but LCAD doesn't even have a cafeteria.
Wow so much activity!
I was told one was mandatory but two were recommended. I actually only had one done by my professor and then two were professional recs from the places I volunteer at. Then I gathered all of that, along with my college transcript and sent it by certified mail
@ jandrews: Oh sweet glad I'm not the only one who's heard of it. I usually prefer smaller schools so Laguna is perfect for me, don't really care much for cafeterias either. Honestly it's my first choice, if I get accepted into there it's probably the school I'll be going to. Though the program is really short. Bleh, it's tough to decide. D8
@ escaphilia I guess that means we can send letters of rec by email? That's good to know.
Boo my phone cut me off last night
But, yeah that's what I was getting at lol you can send letters of rec and transcripts by mail~
Hey guys, does anyone know any reliable scholarships, besides the ones on the Ringling page?
@ allie: lol try fastweb.com
Oh yeah, Fastweb.com practically spams my email account with updates on scholarships...There's more to apply to than time in the day.

Is all of fastweb legit? I noticed a couple of "scholarships" which seemed to be almost like spam. such as: "share this with (blank) friends, and you will be entered into a raffle and might win (blank) in scholarship!" It just doesn't seem to be the way I always imagined the whole money for schooling thing to go.
Fudge this AWESOME place!!!
My SKETCHBOOK: please critique! i can take it!

@ tmg: lol some of them are kinda like that. those are like the website sponsored scholarships just to force people to bring in more traffic to their website. im not really sure if it's legit, but it doesn't hurt to try.
So it took me awhile but I've finally gotten around to getting together my looking over all the portfolios posted up here. Just wanted to give everyone my two cents, as it's sort of rude if I give some people a critique and not others, lol. bear in mind, My opinion is just that; take whatever you can from it, and discard anything you are not in favor of. I mean no one any offense, so please don't take any.
@idkylimes: Overall, definitely stands out as being vibrant. Your use of colors and contrast really make your pieces pop. I happen to like the way several of your pieces take on an overall color scheme, and when you scan over them, they seem to contrast well off of each other. Personally I think your red hand is my top pick, though I'm not sure how it stands in what they want for a CA portfolio, as the color choice (with the coldest in the middle) and the simplification creates a sort of flat image. Your fish, still-lives, and other drawings of hands are also some of my other top choices. On the other hands I think it is very well rendered and the subtle reds within the grays make me think of a rainy day if that makes sense. The dark nail, I think kind of takes away from the piece as it become the focal point, and as it is closest the the viewer it also makes a strange perspective effect. With the still-lives, I like your control of weight and shadow; It creates a good mood, and makes the items "feel" solid.
What to watch out for- one word: Anime. You don't want the school to look at your portfolio and think anime. It seems to have become a pet peeve of animation portfolio reviews in recent years, and you should be very careful if your style has anime type undertones. Also make sure you watch facial proportions and anatomy. It seems a lot of your faces have something, off about them, such as flatter heads or uneven eyes. I also hope in your water color face that you cropped off your finger before submitting the piece.
Conclusion? Great control with color, composition, and value. It doesn't seem like you have many figure drawings, and the portraits you have, you want to make sure they don't appear to be "anime-ish".
@tennis: You seem to be very fond of the mirror. J/k, I have a lot of self portraits myself. My top picks are between the portrait looking up the nose, the red sock, the turtle and the Brick wall and window. With the portrait, more white in the eye would have made it pop as a focal point. With the choices of cooling the BG and warming the skin really makes the face stand out. The hair is magnificent, the control of light and form really make the emotion stand out. The pic of the fridge, I like because of the red sock, TBH. Though absolutely I can see and understand what everything is, I can see the light is coming out of the fridge and washes everything out- It is the placement of the focal point, far off center and out of the line of sight that really draws me in, and wonder why. By turning the person leaving into the focal point, I wonder where/why that person is leaving and it forces me to make a story about the scene. With the turtle, I am mostly impressed by all of the texture used, and the effects of lights you have on the turtle's skin. Now I'm not sure why, but I feel that this turtle was done based on a photograph, perhaps because of the near black sections of shadow, or some aspects of the size of the fins that seem confusing to me. With the brick wall, some of its perspective appears as though it may be a bit off, yet, I'd say the use of color and attention to detail stand out more than anything else on it. Your figures I'd say are lacking a bit of dynamism, though they are rendered very well (though their faces seem a bit off). I'd also say that though your still life of the glass and cooling rack, upon close inspection is done very well, it seems to me not to really stand out. I think the still life would catch the eye better with more dark contrast, though as I said, it is done very well on close inspection. Your surprised self portrait seems to be missing the back of it's head. I almost forgot, The cloth piece is also wonderfully rendered.
Overall: I think you could use more figure drawings/ gestures, and some of your pieces really show some great rendering skills. Your attention to detail is impressive (at least to me who has a very short attention span) and you also should try to greater blend your shadows, as the blocking of changing tones seems to make me think of photographs, and make areas appear flatter than they should be.
@Mkmcm: WOAH, Vibrant!
For some reason tumbler won't let me enlarge the photos, but I can still give a critique based off of your smaller photos. First off, I was really surprised by how bright and colorful everything is. I also like the plumpness and curves you give all of your figures. I'd say my top choices of what you sent in are the feet, the skull and the figures with the brown paper BG. I like how with very subtle tones, you are able to achieve the full illusion of form. The feet seem as though they are in the process of moving, yet everything seems proportionately correct, and it therefore seems very "alive" to me. the skull is very colorful, and I wonder how it is that you used a rainbow to create form. I would warm that for some reason the spinal region appears flat to me.
Again as I cannot seem to enlarge your photos it's fairly hard to give a fair critique, but from what I can see with your thumbnails, I'd say that your figures seem a bit stiff. They all seem to be posing rather than moving/ living. Ironically this is why i'm drawn to your feet drawing, because they do appear to be moving and living.
I wish I could say more, but I only have vague details of roughly one inch by one inch images to go off of.
@rununtilyouroar: I kind of don't know which pieces are your portfolio and which are just random tumbler sketches.
In any case, there is much too much work on your site to critique it all, but over all it looks like you have some really flowy work, and some really nice gestures. I would say that it looks like you are a bit sketchy in many areas, but I don't know what you are submitting, and what might just be sketchbook pieces.
Anyway, with a GPA in the 3.5-3.8 I wouldn't worry too much, as I've heard that is heavy place schools look, and I only had about a 3.0. Too bad ringling doesn't put much weight on SAT scores. I thought I did okay with a 1700. You beat me by a long shot. I'd hate to play trivial pursuit/ jeopardy/ any other smart person game against you!
@ escaphlia: I really like your gestures as everything seems alive and caught in motion. With your animals I can tell which every animal is, and I know that is hard to do if drawing animals from life (as they keep moving!). As was said earlier though, I really wish at least some of these were more fleshed out. Your pieces show that you have a great grasp on contours and mechanics (which is very impressive BTW) but what they don't show is how good you are with fully rendering a piece. Even the room is entirely in contour, and though the perspective is wonderful, and everything is composed great, it still has no lighting effects. That's kind of upsetting, because your egg (though it does seem a bit rushed) shows some really decent understanding of light and rendering, and it would be nice to see a little of those same lighting effects on your character pieces.
@steam: For only being drawing for two years, you are doing very well. Your figures all seem to have good gestures and movement, and there appears to be a good showing of progress throughout.
I'd advise, try to "soften" your lines a bit, and add more curves. It seems as though your contours are still very angular, and though that is a step in many artists progressions of making figure drawings, after blocking in the shapes, you should try to round out the contours more and more. As well as I mentioned to escaphlia, adding more rendering and tone would show your understanding of light and tone, something I find hard to see in the pieces you have up.
As far as figures go though, depending on the amount of time spent on each, these are up there with people who have been drawing for quite some time. Definitely, heading in the right direction for only two years of drawing.
@ anomalexie: Last but not least, my fellow last year wait-lister.
First off, your figures, portrait, and colored still life, seem to speak most to me. Wait, that's just about everything- let me be more specific. I'm specifically fond of the first figure as I find the subtlety of the tone providing nice contrast. I do notice an odd thickness of his bent leg's calf, and it seems the shadows in his shoulder wrinkles terminate a bit too swiftly, but the focal points of his hair, arms, and shadowed stomach distract nicely from those areas. With your portrait; again I think the softness of much of the graduations of tone, is beautiful. I do think that the hair and eyes (mostly around the irises), are a bit too dark, and appear to be a bit of a distraction by seeming flat. I also feel it is necessary to question, what is up with that robot?
With your sill lives I most favor the one with the red ball. With this one you attempt to tackle one of those things that I personally hate, reflective surfaces. Certain areas of this piece also seem to very well done, as they fool the eye into thinking of a photograph. This is actually problematic with certain areas of this piece as the cloth being very well done, seems to make the somewhat flatness of the flowerpot stand out.
Something I did notice is that in your sketchbook figures, the heads are a good deal larger than anatomically correct. I find in the last still life It is somewhat hard to make out what I am looking at (except for a bunch of wrinkles) and it would seem as though a lot of the light on your figures terminates too quickly, making for the appearance of odd planes.
It's kind of hard to imagine that your portfolio last year didn't have enough figure drawings. You must have really revamped what you had from last year.
If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry. Lol. If you'd like me too, I'll give you a paragraph or two as well. I could seriously write an essay on every piece I saw.
I cannot stress enough to everyone; GREAT WORK! I hope everyone gets in.
And again; I hope no one takes any offense to anything I said- I just find that writing critiques forces me to look objectively at another's work, making it easier to see problem areas in my own. I don't have any favorites, and I tried to be as fair as I could and write the same level of positive to negative about everyone. Seriously, everyone, your work is beautiful, and it would be an honor to be any one of you guys' classmates.
Thank you all for sharing what you've been working on.
Fudge this AWESOME place!!!
My SKETCHBOOK: please critique! i can take it!

@ tmg: likewise, im also particularly fond of the first one. lol in my portrait, i have like almost black dark brown hair and equally dark eyes and my eyes are a little sunken in so i tried to keep true to that and thats why they may be too dark? I did this during different times of the day, so the lighting might have been different in some parts of the drawing XD WITH REGARDS TO THE ROBOT LOL: uhh i got kind of bored with my selfportrait and the background (i went through at least 4 different backgrounds) and i was in the mood for drawing a robot so I went for it and i liked the result but thank for you the compliment on my tone work hahaha, it took a lot to get it there. yeeeeeah, the heads are a little too big... i seem to have that problem consistently. pffft, last year i didn't have figure drawings at all, mostly illustrations (didn't really stick to what they wanted at all because my ego got in the way). it was after the rejection letter that I really delved into what i needed to be accepted into CA, signed up for an 8 week figure drawing class and really took advantage of it and learned a lot. i think the rejection was for the best, yknow. but thank you for all your opinions if i could resize the heads and attempt to fix some flatness, I would XDD but thanks
I have an account on fastweb, but I keep applying and It's not giving me anything. I was just wondering if something else was out there
Thank you Themegagod! (and anomalexie too cause I finally backread lol)
Yeah, I agree with ya'lls assessment! I definitely wish I included some fully rendered pieces. Funny enough the sphere actually took forever to do haha! It was for a class assignment, but I used the wrong paper that had no tooth to it. So it lost almost all of its value, total suckage. But yeah, I definitely wish I included a bit more! I got really paranoid about about not finishing before the 15th and I really regret not giving myself that extra week to gather up everything, then really picking and choose - or finishing lol Lesson learned~
Thanks themegagod for your feedback, I love to hear other people's opinions as it is hard for me to see my work with fresh eyes! Odd that tumblr won't let you enlarge them, clicking on them usually works fine for me. I completely agree with you on the spine looking flat, I wish I could've fixed that but oh well. It's my oldest piece so I'm not too upset about it. I can see what you mean about my figures looking still, that is something i am working on now. I'm glad you like the hands and feet, it's an area I've been working hard on to improve! And yes...I do love using color. Hopefully that shows through! Now all I can do is cross my fingers that I can attend Ringling next fall, it's been my dream for a while now. (:
i might post mine up later
My mom has technically "black eyes" so I guess I can see how that may be really hard to capture and in anyway make the iris stand out. I've tried drawing her before and wound up basically making huge pupils, because there is very little distinction between the tones. I guess with the hair, some more highlighting effects up towards the top, like you have near it's base would have made it stand out more.
I have a similar issue with head proportions, i think it comes from drawing cartoons all the time. if a normal person stands at roughly 7-8 heads, my characters are often like only 4-5 heads tall. Lol, my adults have the proportions of a 5 year old.
You certainly used your "time off" well, so hopefully you will hear much better news this year.
and rather thank you for letting me see what you worked on!
I personally hate low/no tooth paper. I tend to use water color paper for even my pencil drawings. I also often draw with H pencils, and I know a lot of instructors advise against both of those habits. So You are not alone in frustrated with the wrong tooth in paper. it didn't come out bad though. It was a "happy accident".
and again, the lack of rendering is really the only negative I have. Hopefully admissions can see what you are capable of, and don't judge it as not fully fleshed out or anything like that. I think I've seen portfolios in the passed that didn't have fully rendered pieces and got accepted, so don't worry about it.
and thanx for sharin!
And it is odd that tumblr won't let me enlarge. maybe my browser needs an update of some sort. When I click on a photo my screen dims, but the photo never shows up. IDK what that's all about.
Your love of color does show, and it's a good thing it does too. at least imo.
Again! good luck everyone! hoping to meet you in april (accepted students day) and see you all around the halls (if not classes) in august!
Fudge this AWESOME place!!!

Hey guys good luck!!! I know that everyone is anticipating getting the letter! But like my mom has always said, "If it is meant to be, it will happen!". So best wishes, and @themgagod see you in April. I hope to see everyone in April!
Okay so my post from two weeks ago has finally appeared, way over yonder. Included in this post is info on what defines full/part time, my opinions and experiences with scheduling and whether lib arts classes are geared towards majors, and housing info vs. living off campus in Sarasota. Congrats to everyone who just submitted, please keep us updated!
Firmitas, utilitas, venustas.
Design with purpose, create with passion.
Oh wow! Thank you very much for the critique. Yours are always very well thought out and helpful. I will admit I do have problems with light and tone but I did manage to stick a few pieces in my portfolio that focuses on that. I'll have to put them up on my Tumblr lol. And I'll make sure to work on everything else you've mentioned. As for how long my pieces were, the gestures were usually about 1 min while the full figure drawing were about 15 min.
In other news: It seems like at least one of my teachers sent in my letter of recommendation! So that scare is dealt with. :3
Not a problem! It's a forum, butt in whenever you like. Thanks for the critique, I appreciate it. I'm aware my form and muscles are sometimes off, and I'll be looking into getting some muscle tutorials and drawing from them. However, I don't want to come off as someone unable to take a critique, there were a few things that bothered me about this critique. I'm not sure if you mean observing and drawing when you say "copying" or just flat out copying? If you mean flat out copying I'd like to point out that copying is never a good way to learn how to draw, ever. Another thing that really bugged me is the fact that you "didn't look that much." I'm sorry but it's kind of hard to take a critique from someone who didn't really take a good look at my art work. Last, I'm going to have to disagree with the 10 hours straight in one day. I understand everyone has their own way of practicing and that just happens to be yours and you're expressing what works for you. Sadly, I don't have the time to practice that much, I get in at least 2 to 3 hours of drawing everyday. I know, I know, I'm going to have to be drawing that much in art school so I should probably get used to it, right? Well, in art school I will most likely not have a job, not be going to a community college, and not be taking studio art classes on the side. I'll just be in an art school, with a program that suits my needs, and getting better at my craft.

Ilya Bryzgalov Stars in Falling Down
Oct 15, 2012, 12:59 PM EDT
After checking in with the studs in Germany, the youngsters on the Phantoms, and generally just starting to finally miss the Flyers and the NHL, it was with great pleasure that we got to see today that Ilya Bryzgalov is still out there in the cosmos to bring a smile to our face.
Now, if Bryz has taught us anything, it's that no matter where you go in the universe, gravity will be there to bring you back down to earth — except maybe for black holes… or on the moon. Okay, so maybe gravity isn't the same everywhere, but it certainly exists in Russia as you can see in this fantastic clip of Bryzgalov falling down for no apparent reason whatsoever while playing goal overseas.
I'm sure Bryz would have some interesting thoughts on his spill. Too bad Panotch isn't in Russia to ask him about it.

I have had the privilege of learning to build my first guitar with Chris Wynne in person at Montsalvat in Melbourne. The course was life changing. The DVD series allowed me to take what I had learnt on the course and begin my journey as a luthier. I am now up to build no. 14 and have the confidence to create my own plans, inlays etc and none of it would have been possible without the invaluable information in the DVD series. If you are looking to build your first guitar, or even understand a little more about your second, you will definitely benefit form this series.
In my opinion not very good. It's okay, but, leaving out very important info like cleaning your wood before glueing. Also very strange ways in doing things. And sometimes just plane wrong.
What a great course. Chris knows how to teach, and there is simply no substitute for seeing a technique being done in real time. If you are serious about building a guitar, this course is a must.
This video answered a lot of questions I had about how acoustics all fit together. A great overview of how they are built and many tips for us un-handy people along the way. I think Chris is a great teacher that really explains things quite well. Very impressed! Cheers!
I received this DVD set as a birthday gift from my wife and son. All I can say is Wow! Chris is an excellent teacher and keeps the 10 hours very engaging and informative. His unpretentious and supportive style is just what I needed. I found the information on Australian Timbers used in the series fascinating. I also love the little pocket sized ruler that came with the set. I am very pleased.
This is an absolute must for beginners, with over 10 hours of information, enough to give you the confidence to build your first acoustic.
Once you have mastered a couple of builds using this DVD set then you can experiment with confidence having acquired the basic skills and knowledge to try different bindings and finishes.
It's also refreshing to see some of the beautiful woods that Australia has to offer.
I ordered this course because it looked better than the others. It is, in my opinion, the best.
I have read other reviews that criticize Chris Wynne because he didn't cover finishing well enough, or using various kinds of trim. Hey, the guy is teaching how to build a fine instrument and he has done that very well. Order one today and don't be afraid. It was money well spent.
Thank you Chris!
A handy bonus pocket-size steel inch/metric conversion ruler included with this set is really nice, but beware: The Square end has some very sharp edges and when measuring your project could cause some bad scratches. Best take a file to it before use.
loved the DVD everything you need to build a good guitar... wish he would have explained what grades of sand paper he was using during the DVD.
I was hoping for a bit more, truthfully. Basic oil finish, simple bindings, little to no advice on voicing the top. While it was nice to see a guitar made from start to finish, I don't think you could make a nice guitar following this video set alone.
