"The quality of these cards was astounding, and the pictures and colors were breathtaking!! Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about how much they loved the cards. The square, tri-fold design is chic and is what makes the card unique. I appreciated all the reminders from tiny prints about the extra postage required for square cards. (Within the USA it's 66 cents.) I wasn't aware of the option for "modified rectangular envelopes" until I had completed my order. I would absolutely recommend these cards to everyone!! They're gorgeous!!"
"This card was cute and simple, being the talk of all of my friends when they recieved the card in the mail. Would highly recommend! Very pleased with the product."
"I chose my kids' favorite costume pictures and uploaded them to the website (very easy) and voila, an awesome card. Everyone who has seen it loves it; it's to the point withouth wasting too much paper on the message. Just love it!"

"Our daughter picked our her images, we uploaded all of them to try out how they'd look on the card. Placement was easy and she was incredibly pleased with the look and feel."
"Beautiful quality. Elequent but not formal. It works with a variety of photos. Our photographer was so impresses with the quality that he said he plans to use Tiny Prints for his future products."
"Very easy to use and upload photo. I like the color combinations - kind of dusky. You don't need to buy extra senior wallet photos to include with your announcement. This invite does it all! I also had a printing error that was on my end and they were very good to work with to correct the situation. Highly recommend. Will be back in 2 years for my daughters!"
"The only way to describe my experience with this company is EXCELLENT. The quality of paper, photo, design are only the obvious descriptions of a great product. But for me it was the customer service I received that was OUTSTANDING. The customer reps went over and above in every way for me, even accommodating me with a reprint in an express manor. I LOVE THIS COMPANY"
"I couldn't have been happier with the quality of the paper, printing, how the photos turned out....everything was exactly as I'd hoped. I will continue to use Tiny Prints for any special occasion invitation."

We Are Not Alone
The market is climbing at a relatively steady rate giving the feeling that investors are more confident even though the U.S. economy is still sluggish, making this recovery slightly different than previous turn a rounds. What's up? Well international business is the name of the game. U.S. markets are heavily involved with emerging markets such as China and India. Obviously a double edged sword, as unrest can derail our stock market as much as boost returns. Performance of other global stock markets, economic growth and inflation, and the large amount of US debt held by foreign investors (especially China) are direct influences.

Talking About a Revolution
How will the global unrest and regime changes affect the U.S. stock market? On Wednesday, March 2nd, oil prices rose to $102 a barrel, an amount not seen since September of 2008, according to Associated Press. With the demand for oil in the U.S. ever increasing the conflict in Libya has caused a drop in supply. The price of gas at the pump in the U.S. is up more than 25 cents since the crisis began.

It's Not Your Supply Chain Any More
For the last year Starbucks and Kraft have been working to separate a partnership that's lasted over twelve years. Starbucks, after downsizing in 2008 and reforming their image back to a neighborhood coffee shop has increased its profits to over $217 million. The chain now wants to manage its own distribution to stores. On February 25, 2011 Kraft lost an appeals court ruling that allows Starbucks to end the twelve year deal.

Tuscon 76
Tuscon 76 may well have been no. 6 on the then still fairly new FTD collectors label, however, it was the first officially released live Elvis Presley show since the composite Dallas 75 show made it's debut on the RCA labels 'Silver Box Set' some 20 years previously !
It was an Elvis fan and collectors dream come true in many respects, an officially released soundboard, yet at the same time it seemed somewhat of a strange first choice.
Subsequently of course we have had many more live shows both on the FTD collector label as well as on the main BMG label and Tuscon 76 seems a long time ago now, but, it really did seem to open the floodgates to the treasure chest of live shows we enjoy today on the official labels, and I for one am very grateful for that.
So, back to the show at hand.................
Tuscon 76 presents us with a June 1, 1976 (evening) Elvis Presley show, recorded from the soundboard at the Community Center Arena, Tucson, Arizona.
There would be a staggering total of 9 tours as well as both Tahoe and Vegas engagements during the year of 1976, the Tuscon performance being show 7 of Tour number 18 (Elvis' 3rd Tour of the year so far and the 14 show Tahoe engagement already completed).
The Tuscon show itself includes some nice interplay with the crowd and a
couple of not so often performed songs sprinkled between the set list standards of 1976. We also get two complete versions of Hurt and a few lines of Welcome To My World.
Someone requests For The Good Times and Elvis instead offers them a very nice version of Help Me Make It Through The Night (a much better selection perhaps).
However, it is following the request for him to perform The Last Farewell from his, at the time recent Elvis Presley Boulevard album, to which he replies "I wish I knew it", that the biggest surprise on this CD comes.
Instead of the requested song (which I personally would have loved to hear) he gives the crowd a very rare live performance of Danny Boy......beautifully performed and spontaneous and presumably the main motivation for making this the first FTD live release (it was not even know that a live performance of Danny Boy existed on soundboard up until this point and in that respect it makes this CD a true collectors release)
In short a nice enough 1976 performance where the varied set list makes for a pleasing show. It should be noted that See See Rider and Love Letters were actually recorded live on stage in Odessa, Texas at the afternoon and
evening shows respectively and not Tuscon Arizona.
(adapted from a review I first did at the time this CD came out)

Pretty good – I come here a lot with my family and we enjoy it, but sometimes there is a little more wait than I want
Took FOREVER – Went in on a Friday night, parking was scarce, but I was still optimistic. Unfortunately the hour we eaited after placing our order was rather disappointing. Waiters were impossible to track down and water glasses and questions about where our food was were empty and unanswered. The sushi itself was quite good and the price was fantastic. However, after waiting an hour for our food it hardly seemed worth the effort. Save your money and time.
Great bargain – I love Zen 320! I go there at least once a week. If you go here, please do not expect Fugakyu/Oiishi quality sushi. But if you just enjoy sushi and are ok with Whole Foods sushi quality at half the price, then this is your place. I recommend ordering in if you live close by.
Modest Brookline Village eatery grabs the spotlight with creative, inexpensive sushi and Korean fare. – The Scene
Zen 320's narrow, L-shaped dining room provides a quiet, unassuming spot for local couples to sip green tea and slurp bowls of spicy fish stew. Solo diners belly up to the small sushi bar to watch ex-pat chefs turn out inventive rolls (where else can you find a "Texas roll" that features sliced barbecue beef and spinaeh?). Pleasant, reserved waitresses serve up selections from an affordable beverage menu that features several hot and cold sakes.
The Food
While many patrons come for the dirt-cheap sushi, others stop by for bargain bento boxes served day and night. Adventurous diners indulge in Korean specialties, most of which (mussel stew, spicy conch) are unfamiliar to Western palates. House salad, a refreshing assemblage of seaweed topped with slices of raw tuna, salmon and fluke, is a serviceable starter. Top choices among the seafood-heavy entree list include tender salmon teriyaki and spicy pan-fried squid.
Disappointed! – We are from Japan and expected an authentic dish there. Though the interior looked Japanese, sushi in lunch menu was disappointing. That is fake one. There are several good Japanese restaurants in Boston and I hope you guys not to waste your time and money.
Great Food, Price, Service and Atmosphere – Went there for the first time and it was excellent! It is very cheap and the food is amazing. Get the Texas box and you will not regrete it. The sushi is half price, and the waiters do an amazing job. They give you a free salad everytime, and the Miso soup is tasty. Go, drink and enjoy!
Just Okay – While Zen certainly provides the low prices it is know for, the quality of the food is slightly lacking. The sushi simply wasn't as fresh as sushi has to be. The same may be said of the restaurant's decor which had a dark ambiance to it along with paintings of fish which eerily resembled the characters from "Finding Nemo." The service, however, was impecable and street parking in this section of Brookline Village is very easy. Its a shame the fish wasn't a little fresher. Nice try Zen.
A bargain! – If you're having a sushi craving but your wallet is feeling light, head to Zen. While not "fine dining", it definitely has nice sushi, salad and shumai. The spicy tuna is not traditionally done but is good. The Apple crab roll is delicious. You won't be disappointed.

Today, twelve Sherpas died in an avalanche on Mount Everest, the worst accident in the mountain's history. (Four are still missing.) The Sherpa community, an ethnic group in Nepal renowned for their mountaineering skills, has long guided foreign visitors up the world's tallest peak. "Sherpas bear the real burden of climbing Mount Everest," American mountaineer Conrad Anker told National Geographic. "They're the ones who take the biggest risks."
Last year we published a story by Stephanie Lowe that described the growing dangers of the mountain and the concerns of the Sherpa guides, whose very job is to risk their lives on Everest's slopes.Read More →

At the height of my teenage apathy, my mom made me squeal with delight by smuggling a kitten into our home in a cardboard box she'd found at work. She burst into my bedroom excitedly and shoved the box toward me. When I saw its tiny, grey nose and bright, yellow eyes, I fell in love just like my mom.
My dad, however, had a strict "no pets" policy. Caring for a cat would cost too much money, he said. He and my mom already struggled to afford food. For days, my parents fought over the kitten while I held out hope I could have this one little, good thing in a house that all too often felt devoid of good things.Read More →

A girl's gotta eat! And sometimes we just want to eat the bad stuff. The desire to crunch down on salty chips or have a piece of rich, delicious dark chocolate melt in your mouth is hard to deny. Justify that junk food binge with a great wine pairing.
Pringles Potato Chips
Who doesn't crave a chip every once in a while? It's a food that demands a wine that pays tribute to its trio of characteristics: crunchy, salty, and perfectly shaped to fit in the mouth in one bite. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley 2011 Chardonnay ($15) has just the complexity needed to make each chip stand out in the crowd. Chardonnay grapes from all over Washington's Columbia Valley are blended for a wine that has a variety of flavors from apple to citrus fruits. The wine was aged sur lie. "What's that?" you ask. It's the wine's gunk, the dead yeast deposits that result from the wine's fermentation. It sounds gross, but it actually makes the wine soft, creamy, and smooth in the mouth, making it perfect for a chip or two.
Macaroni & Cheese
Mac and cheese isn't just the cheesiest; it gives us a momentary escape from the daily grind and takes us back to the care-free days of childhood. Luckily, we're all grown-up, and we can enjoy the macaroni in all its cheesy splendor with the Lapostolle Casa Grand Selection Merlot Rapel Valley ($12). The wine has a beautiful red/purple color, flavors of ripe, red fruit, and a juicy feel in the mouth. The tannins of the wine blends with the softness of the macaroni and the creaminess of the cheese. You'll experience similar flavor sensations you did as a kid with you ate mac 'n cheese paired with grape juice.
Pepperoni Pizza
Sometimes if wasn't for pizza there wouldn't be dinner, true? Whether you call in for delivery or stop by the kiosk for the two-slice special, pizza isn't just a junk food craving; it's the fuel that keeps us going. Give this to-go staple an air of sophistication with the Bodegas Franco Españolas Rioja Royal Claret ($9). The wine is aged in American oak barrels for six months and in the bottle for two months, resulting in a wine that is as laid back as pizza is. It's 100 percent Tempranillo, the grape of Spain, with red fruit flavors and a spicy finish; the wine dresses up the pepperoni slices, like the right shoes make an outfit.
Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar
The best things in life are called "special." For those special moments when enjoying that scrumptious morsel of chocolate, you need the Tormaresca 2011 Neprica Puglia IGT ($12). This is a fresh, fruity wine made from Negroamaro and Primitivo (two Italian indigenous grapes) and Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich and complex blackberry flavors and a silky feel in the mouth are a perfect combination for the 45 percent cocoa solids.
Strawberry Cheesecake
The art of justification allows us to see that strawberry cheesecake belongs in the wide-side of the food pyramid. Strawberry is fruit, cheese is protein, and cake is a carbohydrate. Enjoy with the Riondo iSpritz l'Aperitivo ($11), and you have reached a sumptuous level of pairing. The iSpritz is actually a semi-sparkling cocktail blend with flavors of sweet orange and bitter herbs. Normally served before meals, hence the "l'Aperitivo" on the label, it also doubles as a dessert wine that cleanses the palate so that each bite of cheesecake is as enjoyable as the first.

Hack Your Program: The University of South Carolina's School of Library and Information Science
16/06/2011 § 13 Comments
*Disclaimer: These are my personal opinions and are not representative of the student body, the University of South Carolina, or the School of Information and Library Science. I started in Fall 2010 as a full-time, out-of-state student. All criticism is meant to be constructive.
When I tell people I am from Seattle and go to school down here,the first thing they ask me is, "why?" My stock answer is that, "I really like Hootie and the Blow Fish," which I follow up with a, "No really it's not as crazy as it sounds." In reality I came here for the opportunities. Even before Micah was talking about hacking library school it's what I had planned on doing. Thankfully Micah started talking about it, so now I have the vocabulary to discuss my strategy for making it in library land. USC has an up and coming Library School. We have a good staff, decent course offerings, and lots of opportunities here in Columbia.
USC (as we call ourselves in the abbreviated form) or SoCar (as I refer to the school) offers a B.A., MLIS, several certificates of advanced study, and Ph.D. in Information and Library Science. The MLIS program offers on classes on campus and online. The distinction between on campus and online cohorts is minimal with students in either able to take classes through either delivery method. However, many core classes are only taught online, so students in Columbia will have to take online classes, but not necessarily vice versa.

NASCAR deserves praise for the way officials reacted to safety concerns following the death of its signature star, Dale Earnhardt, in 2001.
But dirt tracks remain in a time warp, largely unregulated and a pit of dangerous mayhem for drivers chasing speed.
Jason Leffler, 37, became the latest casualty when he was killed last week during a sprint-car race at Bridgeport Speedway dirt track in New Jersey. The New York Times reported that Leffler became at least the sixth driver to die in a crash on a dirt track in the last 13 months.
The Delaware County (Pa.) Medical Examiner ruled that Leffler died from a neck injury he sustained after his car hit a wall.
Many NASCAR regulars — most notably Tony Stewart and Kenny Wallace — are huge fans of dirt tracks and spend as much time as possible competing in local events throughout the country.
But others won't, for obvious reasons.
"I'm not gonna say I never have, but I don't very often because they don't have SAFER barriers and they don't have the safety standards that we have here in NASCAR," defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski said.
"I'm pretty sure safety has taken some pretty big leaps forward since 1970-sometihng, and I think that's the issue facing safety at most local tracks.
"Obviously, it's not a simple issue. They have funding limitations that kind of plague that level, but I'm nervous for anyone that races at those levels because I know what happens if something goes wrong and those safety standards aren't there.''
It's a matter-of-fact situation involving economics. Racetrack owners at these local tracks can't afford modern safety equipment, Protection devices like a head-and-neck restraint system aren't required, and safety regulations that are standard in NASCAR and IndyCar aren't in play either.
"The safety standards at local short tracks are out of control. They're dismal," Keselowski said. "But we still go on and we keep racing because that's what we do as racers and we'll race here today and we'll race at the next short track on a Friday or Saturday night that doesn't have those things — someone will — because that's the love and passion that we have for this sport, and what makes it what it is.
"It's a shame that our industry is reactive, and I wish it wasn't. That's a much bigger piece than NASCAR — that's the whole industry of racing. We have a tendency to wait until something bad happens before we fix things, and we need to stop that."
Bu that will take money, and that is always an issue. Leffler died in an event competing for a $7,000 top prize.
"Of course, it's scary," Clint Bowyer said, "but we're all racers and we love to go to the race track just like he [Leffler] did and compete. It's what we've done our whole lives, and it's probably not going to stop now."

Daytona makeover
The proposed makeover at Daytona International Speedway got an official nod Tuesday when the International Speedway Corporation approved funding to redevelop the frontstretch.
The multi-year project will break ground on July 5, 2013, and is targeted for completion in January 2016, in conjunction with the 54th Rolex 24 At Daytona and the Daytona 500.
Costs are expected to run between $375 million to $400 million.
"In our 50 years we've never made this kind of investment," Speedway president Joie Chitwood said.

What exactly is art history?
Art history embodies the study of the liberal arts by considering the work of art and architecture within its broader cultural context, including religion, economic production, politics, gender and social identification.
The liberal arts and interdisciplinary nature of the major can be combined effectively with other majors such as theology, history, philosophy, or with programs emphasizing professional skills, including journalism, communication, or elementary education. Recent graduates of the Art History program have pursued careers in education, art conservation, museum education and curatorship, art gallery direction, publishing, and interior design.
What are recent graduates doing now?
One of our students went to the M.A. program in arts at Sotheby's in London and has recently returned to the Twin Cities. She is considering opening a gallery and arts consulting business, but also is considering further technical training for the management of digital images and copyright issues. She epitomizes what we try to stress about the potential for working in the field outside of the museum or college, particularly since our program emphasizes research, analysis, and presentation skills, rather than memorization. She also demonstrates the value of being ambitious, self-directed and building a network.
Learning opportunities outside of the classroom:
Internships. Students have interned at the following places during the past few years: Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minnesota Historical Society, Minnesota Museum of American Art, Minnesota Center for Photography, 526 Gallery, St. Paul Art Cooperative and the Minneapolis Public Library. Students also have participated in the City Arts program of HECUA and obtained community-based internships.
Study abroad. Students have studied recently in France, Australia, Spain and England; some programs are semester-long, others a year. Usually they study art history, language, history and literature. We encourage art history students to study abroad because it gives them the opportunity to experience, first-hand, artistic and historical works that they could only study in the classroom at St. Thomas. Seeing is understanding.
Faculty research, presentations, publications
Faculty members are actively engaged in their own research agenda, presenting papers at national and international venues, publishing articles in peer-reviewed venues, and books with university and scholarly presses.
Faculty supervise a number of independent study projects to mentor and train undergraduates in their research and presentation skills. Several students have received Young Scholars grants in the past few years to support their independent projects.
With the arrival of the American Museum of Asmat Art at St. Thomas and the implementation of a new exhibition program, we are looking to develop opportunities for students to work on exhibits, researching, and writing labels and essays for the exhibits. Through exhibits we plan to foster joint projects with faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.
What jobs are possible with an Art History major?
- Antiquarian book trade
- Art appraisal and sales
- Artist representative
- Estate appraisal
- Arts administration
- Arts education programming
- Museum and gallery administration
- Museum education and programming
- Curator for corporations or galleries
- Collection management
- Visual resources curator
- An art history major also prepares one to work for organizations concerned with the following issues:
- Art, intellectual property, and copyright law
- Arts and general interest publications
- Arts agencies (local, state, federal)
- Historic commissions and museums
- Historic preservation
- With additional education or training
- Art librarian
- Museum curator
- College teaching
- Preservation and conservation

HPER Graduate Program
Dr. Luebbers discusses the finer points of metabolic assessment with a Graduate Assistant
The graduate program in the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER) at Emporia State University was the first Masters degree program in HPER in the United States to be offered completely online. It remains the leading online Masters degree program in HPER in the United States.
The Master of Science degree is offered through the Department of HPER. Students take all course work through web-based classes. Students are never required to come to campus, but are always welcome. All courses are taught by faculty members with doctoral degrees and/or by faculty members who are nationally recognized in their fields.
This program is fully accredited through the Higher Learning Commission and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. This Masters degree would be appropriate for students interested in advancing their education, as well as for those students who need to gain additional course work for tenure or fiscal promotion.
The Masters degree does not lead to initial teacher certification, but has the potential to be used for that purpose. This is dependent upon the state in which the student resides.

Don't talk, never linger, stay invisible. On the run and alone, these are Nell Hawke's rules. As the threat of Voldemort reaches across Britain, all she wants is to keep her head down and attached to her neck.

Glass over the Flame by the opaleye
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: Harry, Hermione, and the moments in between.
He doesn't say that this is his last winter. He doesn't say that this could be her last winter. Instead he feels his heart swell with the bruising grip of her hand and the sound of Ron's snoring in the tent.

Dumbledore's Army - Still Flying by Karaley Dargen, muggle girl marauder, minnabird, the opaleye
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: Life at Hogwarts is all but cheerful under the Carrows' reign. One of the changes that hurts the students worst, some even worse than torture, is the ban on Quidditch. Dumbledore's Army wouldn't be themselves, though, if they didn't find a way to bring some life back to the castle, even if it only lasts a couple of hours. But can even the best of matches wipe away mistrust and resentment?
This story was written by the Incaff Military Athletic Division for the 2011 Quidditch World Cup on the Beta Boards. It won, too! Our alternate was hestiajones.
Many thanks to the referees, who set this wonderfully inspiring prompt that gave us weeks of drabbling-frenzied fun. The prompt for this match was:
"One Last Match: When Harry was on his extended camping trip, I don't think his thoughts extended much to Quidditch, but for those at Hogwarts it did. Under the new regime, however, the sport was banned. For the pupils at Hogwarts, this became a focal point of rebellion. They decide to play one last match, an inter-house match, in the spirit of Dumbledore's Army. The two teams will not be from one house but a mixture."

Waking by the opaleye

Stocking stuffers are often the last thing people put together for Christmas. I know that in years past I've been guilty of running to Target desperately on Christmas Eve looking for little gifts and chocolates for the kiddies. They probably don't notice, I try to go for a quantity over quality approach to the stocking. This year I've been planning a litle further in advance. I mean I haven't settled on the items yet, but at least I'm thinking about it! I think that magic ticks are a fun little item to throw into a stocking. They're a little old fashioned, but my kids love to figure out how the tricks work. There are all sorts of things that you can put into the stockings. Dice tricks and card tricks are still my favorites. They're cheap too. With the economy the way it is still, you probably don't have extra cash to put things like gold necklaces and coins hanging above the fireplace. So, try some inexpensive playful items like magic tricks. You can fit plans for fancy magic tricks in a stocking too. Keep your kids occupied for hours trying to figure out to amaze you and their friends with magic plans that create tricks that I find pretty darn exciting.
Classic magician accessories like wands and silks are available as well, so your lucky kid will have the complete magician look. Maybe he'll be the next David Copperfield! He has private islands ya know? Wouldn't you like to visit? Merry Christmas!

Arthur Ochs Sulzberger piloted the paper through 34 years of economic, social and professional challenges and a political challenge of wills against the Nixon White House in publication of the Pentagon Papers, the damning official history of the Vietnam War.
Yet the man I knew slightly at the helm of so many stormy times was basically a simple, thoughtful person. We met first when my Nieman Fellowship class from Harvard was invited to the executive floor. "Punch," as everyone called him, met the group of young men and women at the elevator.
I introduced myself, noting that we both had the same title at family newspapers, "but your newspaper is so much taller." He smiled warmly and seemed to remember me some time later at a meeting in Chattanooga where his sister, Ruth, was publisher of The Chattanooga Times. At the random seating in a restaurant that evening, I wound up at a table without a partner. Punch left his more accomplished tablemates to come and sit with me.
Subsequently, he was always a friendly presence at meetings who complimented my rare appearances on his paper's op-ed page. Punch Sulzberger was a great publisher who was stamped with the quality of a gentleman who found it easy to suppress his own ego to make another person comfortable.
His son, Arthur Jr., is cut from the same cloth. We happened to see him one night at an Italian restaurant on the Lower West Side of Manhattan where he was dining — not with the social glitterati of the city, but a bunch of fellows from the paper. Like his father, he left his company to come and speak to Josephine and me. Arthur also made the long flight down to Anniston to give the Ayers Lecture at Jacksonville State University in honor of my parents, both former publishers of The Star.
News of Punch's death brings a stab of loss, but the reassurance that a great institution is in the hands of a man who has his father's gifts of grace and character.
