I've been officially outed!
Outed as .. OLD.
We picked things out, tried things on, and marveled at the amazing array of ugly and worn, as well. In the end Dani had picked out a bunch of things, I had my share as well, and we went to the register to pay. The young man rang everything up and as he was handing me the receipt he said "your total would have been $150.00 but because Tuesday is 30% off .. "
Wait! What? We accidentally stumbled on the one sale day a week ..?
He explained further "well, on Tuesdays anyone who is 55 years old or older gets 30% off any
Hmmm. Who doesn't love a sale, right? But I'm 56 years old - and apparently - I LOOK like it! Sigh-h-h. Or maybe - he was a young enough guy that anyone over 40 would look old enough for the discount to him. Or maybe it's because I stopped dying my hair. Or .. oh hell. I AM old enough for the discount.
My FIRST senior discount moment.
My daughter of course leaped to take advantage "Hey Mom! I'm going to be calling you and asking if you want to go shopping on 'old people Tuesday' now!"
I love my daughter.

Mmmm, mmmm good!
My mom was not known for her cooking. Not that she was a bad cook, it was just something she really didn't enjoy doing and when she actually did it, it was with little imagination.
When my parents divorced I was 11 years old. It was pretty much just me and my mom from then on
- and since she worked until 7:30 in the evening I had to fend for myself. I lived on things like Beef-a-roni, Swanson's chicken and noodles TV dinners, mac 'n cheese, pot pies, and the occasional steak I would throw in the broiler. Oh, and Velveeta cheese sandwiches. Loved those! Every once in a while my mom would call home and have me put a pot roast on or have me make spaghetti sauce and we would eat late when she got home.
Needless to say my cooking skills never fully developed either, and as much as I try now - I cannot manage to imagine anything new to eat - even when I scour the Internet for recipes it usually ends up being the same type of foods. Pretty mid-western, stick to your ribs kind of fare. Ordinary.
After my mom passed and we were talking about her, my brother told me he had her recipe box "if you can call it that" he said. He was laughing when he said "most of her recipes start with some kind of Campbell's soup!"
Sounds fabulous to me!

Where are the over 50 ladies?
Since being away from my blog, many that I used to read are gone, abandoned, shut down, or disappeared. And I'm not as interested in many of those anymore anyway. There were a couple directories I looked at tonight - looking for blogs specifically for my age group. Not fashion over 50, fitness over 50, love over 50 .. any of those things. Just thoughts from people who have lived as much as I have.
Where are you, ladies? Or .. even men, I guess. Where are you?

Where does your brain go when your doctor says it's cancer?
My doctor didn't use the word cancer. Neither did I. He said adenocarcinoma and I said what do I need to do? My brain pushed the word away while simultaneously digesting it and rushing to next steps. Let's not dwell on what, let's concentrate on what to do about it.
I remember my stomach dropping and my eyes filling with tears, but I also remember pushing that away with an urgency to get beyond REacting to get to actually acting. WHAT NEXT?
People all react differently I imagine. And I'm equally sure their reaction is colored by what kind of
So am I a cancer survivor? I suppose. But it's embarrassing to say that considering what so many others have gone through. It was all over so fast because I wanted it to be, and I barely allowed myself to think about it AS cancer. Now that it's past and the only remaining reminder is the difference in my digestion, I don't HAVE to think about it.
What I DO think about though, is keeping up with my health, blood work, and whatever tests I should be having at this point in my life. Things I did take seriously before, but not quite as seriously as I should have.
It's definitely something to think about, whether or not you have ever had this particular diagnosis. Had a colonoscopy lately?

Anyone looking forward to the first debate?
Not planning on writing about politics, but I really am looking forward to the first debate on Thursday. I am also very distressed by it.
Paying close attention to what is happening in the world every single day (being a news junkie) means that I am also painfully aware of how many people do not. Pay attention, I mean. If I asked 5 people I know if they are going to watch the debate this week I would get 1 of 2 responses:
Which is why we are going to hell in a handbasket because too many people rely on the bits and pieces of news they get from John Stewart and oh my God - the entertainment industry. And they just believe it. They don't question anymore.
That's scary.

It's been a long, long time.
When you start a blog you usually have a reason, something you want to write about. You have some kind of niche, a passion, some category you fit in. I did too, at first. For a very short time. It was about my Etsy shop, about making and selling jewelry.
The last time I made jewelry it was for myself. My Etsy shop hasn't been open for 3 years. I've wanted to get back to this, but where do I fit in now?
Do I update people (what people?) on the progress made after gastric bypass surgery a year ago? Do I tell my cancer story? It was just a little cancer, promise. Or do I talk about my cats like I do with photos on Instagram each day? My job? My family? Crazy people on the road? Politics? No, probably not politics. :)
No niche for me. This would qualify as a "personal blog" I guess. Not sure if that's interesting. But I'd like to give it a try again and see how it goes.
Oh my gosh it's been so long that Google just sent me an email warning me that someone signed into my account. Wow. Easing into it is the way to go, not with a long post explaining everything. I'll just close with a picture I got from a web cam today, of the Statue of Liberty and a beautiful pink sky. It's my desktop wallpaper now.

Dog-sitting instruction manual
.. written by my daughter Dani. I am watching my grandpuppy Rue, for the weekend.
Pick up: 9/1 around 10pm
Morning (whenever you get up):
-Outside! Rue will poop and pee
-Food: One scoop
Evening ('tween 4 & 6):
-Outside! Rue will poop and pee
-Food: One scoop
Bedtime (whenever you go to bed):
-Outside! Rue will pee
-She is used to sleeping in bed with people
If you prefer, you can put her in a room with some pillows or blanket; she'll be fine—maybe a little cranky but fine
Commands (allegedly):
-"Rue, sit" + point finger at floor
-"Rue, off" + point at where you want her to go
-"Rue, stay" + stop signal with hand
-"Rue, come" + good luck with that
-"Rue, do you wanna go OUTSIDE?"
-"Rue, TOY! Rue, where's your TOY?" + enthusiasm
-"You gotta bring it here" (re: toy)
-"Do you wanna go to BED?"
-"Rue, where 's the money? Where's the money, Rue?" + weapon
Dog is staring, whining, and stomping at you: Let her outside
Dog is staring, whining, and stomping at you: Ask her, "Rue, where's your TOY?" repeatedly until she brings it to you. Throw it.
Dog is staring, whining, and stomping at you: Sell her on Craigslist
Dog is barking: Sorry she just does that and we're working on a patch for it but it probably won't come out until Rue 6.0
Dog's breath smells: Give greenie
Dog needs to stop doing something: Clap once loudly, say "Rue, NO" OR make a guttural "EHH" sound like a buzzer on a 60's game show (see: Truth or Consequences)
Dog is annoying: Give rawhide
Dog is annoying: Hypnotize with petting
Dog is annoying: Let outside
Dog is annoying: Maybe you aren't a dog person. Try harder
Dog seems excessively itchy: Give 1/2 a benedryl wrapped in a bit of American Cheese
Dog is sick: Call vet: Palatine Family Pet Care - 847-496-5387, then call me
Dog is sick and vet is closed: Take to closest animal hospital, then call me
Or just call me. Or text me. Or something. Enjoy! Thank you!
PS: Rue does not like: Loud beeping sounds, getting wet, when you blow in her face, most other dogs, most dry dog biscuits, and Nancy Grace.

Designing an effective incentive program is about more than simply offering cash for engaging in a certain behavior or meeting a goal.
That point was made in a recent study from the University of Michigan Health System that compared two approaches to incentives for weight loss. A sample of 105 obese workers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia were divided into three groups – one in which individual workers received $100 each month if they met their individual weight loss goal, another in which workers in groups of five split $500 evenly if they met their goal, and a control group that received no incentive.
After six months, workers in the groups had lost almost 3 times as much weight as workers in the individual program. In fact, the individual workers who received $100 basically lost the same amount of weight as workers in the control group.
Lead author Jeffrey T. Kullgren told me that last bit surprised researchers and has relevance for employers. "I think that should give employers a lot of pause for thought to think critically about the ways in which they're designing their incentive programs," he said.
Kullgren is a research scientist at the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System and assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School. He noted some reasons groups may have worked better include the potential to earn more money if others did not meet their goals, and knowing that reward money would go to someone else if you did not hit your target.
Beyond application in wellness programs, these findings may show how incentives can work with safety. Kullgren used the example of motivating workers to wear a hard hat. The benefit of wearing a hard hat accrues in the long-term with the off-chance the worker gets hit in the head. However, in the short-term, the worker may see wearing the hard hat as costly in terms of being hot or uncomfortable, and those perceived costs present a barrier to wearing one.
That is where incentives can help "shift the balance in the direction of doing the behavior that is consistent with what people want for themselves in the long-run," Kullgren said.
It should be noted that last year OSHA expressed concerns about incentive programs that may discourage injury reporting by offering a reward for going a certain period of time without an injury. In the agency's view, the better approach is to offer incentives for safe behavior, such as identifying hazards.
The immediate reward of money motivates the worker to wear his hard hat, and over time, the inconveniences matter less, the worker becomes used to performing the safe behavior, and he or she continues to do so even when the incentive is no longer offered. As Kullgren said, "The habit-formation piece of it can be really powerful."
At least, it is in theory. Kullgren acknowledged that people often stop the behavior when the reward disappears. He takes that to mean we still have a lot to learn about how incentives work and the optimal way to design a program.

Sony Alpha SLT-A57 offers 12fps shooting, available April
The Sony Alpha SLT-A57 is the latest single-lens translucent camera to join the company's line of DSLR models. It replaces the A55, picking up some of the features of the A77 and A65 models above it.
Sitting at the core of the system is the 16.1-megapixel APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor, with the latest generation of Bionz processor. The unique feature, the translucent mirror, allows access to some fairly individual options.
Headlining in the new Alpha A57 is 12fps shooting with continuous autofocus. This uses a new Tele-zoom Continuous Advance Priority AE mode, which is a bit of a mouthful. According to Sony, the new mode crops the sensor by 1.4x, so we'll be interested to see how the results come out. Alternatively you get regular 10fps shooting.
One of the advantages of the SLT is focusing in movie shooting, which is much faster than traditional DSLR systems. You'll get 1080p AVCHD or MPEG4 capture at up to 50fps, as well as a full platter of manual control options.
The Alpha A57 is pitched as an entry-to-mid-level model and comes with a couple of features to appeal to those who want great results, but want the camera to lend a hand. Claiming a world first, the A57 offers a new Auto Portrait Framing mode. This will combine face detection with the rule of thirds, trimming your shot to produce the perfect portrait.
Elsewhere you get 16-point AF, with three cross type sensor, the same as the A65, which is impressive for this level of camera. The ISO range runs from 100-16000, extendable up to 25600. The body has also been slimmed down slightly, looking less boxy than the predecessor.
The viewfinder, or Tru-Finder as Sony calls it, has a 1440k-dot resolution and 100 per cent field of view. It offers a digital level to keep things straight. Alternatively there is a 3-inch articulated display around the back with a 921k-dot resolution, again fairly respectable.
Compact and lightweight, there is no word on pricing for the new model, but we expect it to launch at the same price as the A55, so that's £699. It will be available from early April 2012.

I have a delay pedal running through the effects loop of my DT25 amp and when I switch channels on the amp, there is a very nasty and loud pop followed by repeats of the pop as it is picked up by the delay. Now, without the loop, I realize there is some clicking as the analog circuits are switching, but I would think that the effects loop would (should?) be bypassed during the switching process and automatically re-enabled once the switch is completed. Am I missing something?

Posted 30 April 2013 - 10:55 AM
The pop - as Line 6 makes mention of somewhere in the documentation and I think has also been brought up in the forums - is the result of the amp re-configuring between Class AB and Class A (someone correct me if I'm wrong on that); the suggestion is not to set up your patches so you do a lot of that on the fly. Effects bypass during that process would probably be a good idea, but there may be some other complications that come with doing that.

My Dream Rig: JTV-69 3-Tone Sunburst + HD500 + DT25
For those with nothing better to do: http://www.theuncomfortableproject.com
Posted 02 May 2013 - 05:02 AM
Most of the time an AB<->A switch can cause a little pop. What I have found is that it is most prevalent when running the master low. With the little bit I know about power class it makes sense to me when going from AB to A. In a nutshell, class A means that the power section is running at full tilt all the time regardless of the master volume setting. Classic class A designs have no master volume as this is the nature of the operating class. Class B is a very efficient operating class where the power section ramps up and down based on the signal. This makes a lot more use of the discharge caps. Class AB is a mixed mode. How much B component there is basically depends on how loud you are running the amplifier. So when I think about the power section going from AB to A, in my mind's eye I see this caps discharging when the class switches...
Anyhoo, I am not trying make any excuses here, just that the power swing from AB to A is huge and the variance based on the master volume level could make it very hard to predict. But I have had better luck reducing it when the master is running a little higher...basically where the AB mode is running a bit more A than B if that makes any sense...

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - Pontiac, Michigan, police say they've arrested a 16-year-old fugitive wanted in the gang-linked killing of a 14-year-old Alabama boy in June.
James C. Willis was using a false name when officers arrested him Wednesday while investigating a report of gunshots.
Willis is charged with an open count of murder in the killing of the Alabama teen, whose name and hometown haven't been released.
Police tell The Oakland Press the shooting happened after members of the Goon Squad crashed a party at a Pontiac church June 14.
Police say Willis fired into a crowd outside the church, killing the boy.
The Detroit News says police in the Detroit suburb blame the
Goon Squad for several unrelated killings, robberies and assaults.

TitleThe burning speed of color and white candles.
Problem ScenarioTo see which candle burns faster.
Broad Questionwhich candle color burns faster?
Specific QuestionDoes color of a candle affect the burning speed?
HypothesisThe color candle will burn faster because the white candles are used for emergencies and they
burn slower so the color will burn faster.
Graph of Hypothesis
Independent Variable: The color of candles.
Dependent Variable:The rate it burns.
Variables That Need To Be Controlled: Size and brand or candles.
Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation
General PlanWhat I will do is take the two candles and melt them in two of the same size containers and at the same temperature.
I will burn them and see how long it takes for each candle to burn.
I will record my info and while they burn take observations.
Potential Problems And SolutionsThe size or brand could be different from the other candle you have.
Safety Or Environmental ConcernsThere is none.
Experimental Design
Controlled, manipulated experiment
What is your experimental unit?My experiment is including two candles that are different colors but they are the same size and brand.
Number Of Trials:I will repeat this experiment twice.
Number Of Subjects In Each trial:There is no subjects being added into this experiment because its just the rate the two candles are burning.
Number of Observations:It depends on what happens during the burning of the candles.
When data will be collectedMonday, Feb. 11th 2013
Where will data be collected?:Either my house or kennett middle school.
Resources and Budget Table
Detailed Procedure1) Get two candles of the same size and brand.
2) One candle will be red and the other will be white.
3) Next you will put them into two heat/fire safe containers.
4)Then start to burn them.
5) Put them both at the same temperature.
6) They will be burnt under a flame and they will be burning at the same time.
7) Take observations while there burning.
8) Then also take observations after the burning period.
Photo ListI will take my pictures while the candles are burning,
after their done and before the burning starts.
Time Line
Data Table
Data Analysis
All Raw DataSee data table above.
ResultsFor my experiment I took two colors of candles white and red, then burned them until there was no wax left. It took three trials to try and do this experiment and to get a good amount of results to compare. The white candle in all three trials burned faster than the red. The times weren't that far apart though for the first trial the white burned 2,125.25 seconds and the red candle burned 3,000.32 seconds. In minutes it would be 35 minutes 25 seconds and 25 milliseconds for the white and red would be 50 minutes 0 seconds and 32 milliseconds.That's not a big difference!
ConclusionWhat happened was I disproved my theory. I thought in my hypothesis that the red candle would burn faster because the chemicals put into the candle to make the color. What actually happened was the white candle burned faster. I thought the white candle would burn slower because they are used for emergency candles when say the power goes out, well that's what people said ,but that's not what happened. So the white candle burned fastest and I disproved my theory.
DiscussionThe white candle burnt faster than the red candle. If I continued on with my experiment first choose more variety of colors to burn to make the experiment more fair. What I mean by more fair is to burn other colors than just the red candle so its not as alike as the other candle burning projects. Id also use the other color of candles to make my experiment a little more diverse. The other colors of the candles could also change what the out come of my experiment could turn out to be. The colored candles could have burned faster then the white it also could have still burnt faster you never know what could have happened if I did the project differently.
The pattern I saw in this experiment was that of course that the white candle burnt faster than the red. Also while I was watching each trial of the candles burning I noticed something in every white and red candle. Well the white candle while it was burning it burnt the top layer of wax and went to all the other layers. The red candle burnt deeper and then burnt out side ways. I have no clue if that had an effect on the burning of the candles and if I effected the white candle to burn faster or the red candle to burn slower.
I was able to answer my question I asked at the beginning. The reason I could answer it is because I did my experiment and I knew after I did the burning of the candles I knew in the second trial I did that the White candle was going to win or burn faster. My experiment didn't have any problems in it and when I did the timing on my phone and my moms it was very easy to stop the timer. So really there was not one problem in my experiment of with collecting my data.
This data can be very resourceful to others Because in time of need like in a power outage people in the world will know what candle to use that wont burn quicker or before the power comes back on. So the best choice for the people to pick would be the red candle not the white.
What I would change about my experiment would be change the type of candles the candles I got were very cheep and the wax in the candle was very odd compared to wax that I am used too. I would also choose taller and Skinner candles because they were the ones that I wanted to use, but i ended up using the little round candles. If I could redo my experiment I would be a lot more productive by starting my experiment earlier.
Benefit to Community and/or ScienceThe benefit to do this experiment is that usually White candles are usually used in emergence's because people say that white candles burn slower than colored candles. When I did my experiment I found out that the colored candles burned faster than the white candle. Also I did the experiment three times or three trials and every one that I did was that the white candle that burned faster. This will benefit the community by people choosing colored candles to burn slower in case of an emergency.
Background ResearchThe candle is a block of wax with a wick in the of middle of the candles. The candles give off light and sometimes heat. It was also used as a method of keeping time. Wax is a block of chemical compounds mixed together to make the wax. There are two main chemicals used to make the wax Paraffin wax and Beeswax. A wick is usually made of braided cotton used to burn in a candle or an oil lamp.The wick of the candle influences the burning of the candle. Candle wicks are also made out of either the braided cotton or the wick could be rolled in bees wax. There are many different kinds of candles like jar candles that you can use in your daily life. Floating candles can be put in a pool or a water source if say you want a romantic evening. Outdoor candles are candle that you use outdoors and they are bigger candles. There are also birthday candles that are colorful and usually very skinny.Before electricity candles were the main source of light and used as heat for homes or buildings. Its also used for giving off a scent in a room and its used in case of an emergency.
AbstractDoes color of candle affect burn speed? My hypothesis was the color candle will burn faster because of the chemicals in the color candle. I disproved my hypthosesis I thougtht that the red candle was going to burn faster but the white candle did.I was very surprised because white candles are normally used for emergency candles like in case the power goes out or you just have no heat or light. What I did in my expeiment was first put two candles on seperate plates a white one and a red one. I then took a lighter and Iighted the candles at about the same time. I wait untill the wax is all liquid record my results and the redo it with the other two trials I have to do. Thats basically it for my experiment. Thats all I did.

Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship
Forms - CS Staff
National Student Day
The Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship recognizes hard-working student employees who maintain their academic excellence. This year a $1,000 scholarship has been awarded to two full-time UC undergraduate students who are currently employed at UC, Colin Barge and Veronica Boyd.
More information on recipients.
The scholarship is awarded annually to no more than two student employees who work at the university and meet the following criteria*:
*Omisson of any of the above criteria will disqualify applicants from consideration.
A university committee consisting of representatives from Campus Services and Student Affairs will review all applications submitted for the scholarship. Determination of the scholarship recipient will be based on:
A well-known Bearcat alum, Larry Elsasser, Ed '65, MEd '73, served as a UC employee for 35 years. For most of those years, Larry served as the director of Tangeman University Center.
In 1961, Elsasser was recruited to play baseball and basketball. Although baseball was his passion, he had a memorable basketball career, playing guard when UC defeated Ohio State in 1962 for the NCAA championship. After graduation, he played professional baseball for the Kansas City Athletics, the forerunner to the Oakland A's. He later became a Cincinnati Public school teacher, then a math teacher at Raymond Walters College, where he also worked as assistant director of the Campus Center. In 1970, he transferred to the Uptown Campus as assistant director of Tangeman University Center, where he became director in 1976. Larry retired in 2005.
Larry's commitment to the university and to the students at UC was always professional and enthusiastic. With Larry's passing in 2010, his colleagues and friends at the university established a scholarship in his name to recognize UC students, who also serve the university as student employees.
Two UC students, Veronica Boyd and Colin Barge, received the annual Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship. They were each awarded $1,000 for the 2015 Spring Semester. Veronica works in the UC gecko lab and Colin works at the Mainstreet Connection Center.
Veronica Boyd returned to school as a non-traditional student and single parent in order to study the Biology of Animals. She works in the UC gecko lab, studying their color vision abilities. She particularly enjoys this student employee position because no harm comes to the geckos in their lab. Veronica states, "The value I have received through my employment at the University of Cincinnati is the ability to work in a lab setting with animals and learn different things about them. I work in the gecko lab and thoroughly enjoy taking care of them." The experiments she runs are simple food reward tests for choosing the correct colored dot. Veronica says that her "career goals are to work with animals to help conserve and protect them." She would like to work at a zoo with conservation efforts or work for a wildlife protection agency.
Colin Barge began working at the University of Cincinnati's MainStreet Connection Center in June 2012. Since then Colin says that he has learned so much more about UC than he imagined possible. Growing up in a small non-diverse community, UC was an eye opening experience for Colin. He has learned skills that he will use the rest of his life such as how to speak clearly, and be patient with customers. Colin says, "The best part of being employed on campus is getting to connect with the students, faculty, and staff every day. Every day I get asked hundreds of questions, but my favorite is when an alumni asks for a map and says something along the lines of "Nothing looks the same as when I was here!" It is very special to get to see that sparkle in their eye that many incoming freshman get in awe of all the different architecture on campus." This reminds Colin that UC's campus is ever-changing, and always improving. Colin is proud to call himself a Bearcat.
Two UC students were awarded the annual Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship award of $1000 for the 2015 spring semester. Cody Curry has worked for American Sign Language/Sign Language Program as a student worker since 2013. Jeff Seemann began working with the Campus Services Marketing Department at the beginning of Summer Semester, 2014.
Cody Curry began working with the American Sign Language/Sign Language Interpreter Program in the spring of 2014 as a student worker. Cody says "Since joining the ASL/SLI department, I have learned more than I could have imagined, and have strengthened my interpersonal communication skills and my ASL skills. It is also through my work in the ASL/SLI department that I have decided to apply for graduate school in Audiology. In this field, it is very important to have knowledge in deaf culture, in the deaf community, and to have sign language knowledge. I want to be able to communicate with my future patients as an audiologist, and I believe that my student worker position has definitely set me up for a successful future in my field." Cody will graduate in 2015 with bachelor's degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Of his work, Dr. Kathie Maynard says, "Cody is insightful, energetic, smart, and dedicated. His performance has consistently been on task and very helpful for the program. I believe Mr. Curry to be a competent and committed student, scholar and leader."
Jeff Seemann has worked for Campus Services Marketing since Summer Semester 2014 as a marketing student assistant. Jeff says, "When I arrived at UC, I was hoping to expand on my knowledge of electronic media. It's not easy being the 45-year-old taking classes full-time on a college campus, but I think I'm making it work. I was fortunate enough to be offered a job working with digital signage in Campus Services/Marketing, a field I had never dealt with before. I have since been able to expand my skill set and add to my resume. I know I'm growing alongside technological changes instead of playing catch-up and merely adapting, and I've learned more than I thought was possible. I'm excited to see what the next 2+ years will bring." Jeff will graduate in December 2016 with a bachelor's degree in E-Media. Of his work, Vicki Rogers, associate director of Campus Services Marketing, says, "Because of his experience in the 'real' world, Jeff has understood our systems and learns faster than any other student assistant I have ever worked with. His eagerness and astounding ability to accomplish any assignment makes me wish I could hire him full-time."
Two Campus Services student employees, Kelly Huston and Kati Klinger, were awarded the inaugural Larry Elsasser Memorial Scholarship award of $500 each for the 2013 spring semester. Committee members from Campus Services and SALD reviewed 40 applications for the scholarship.
Kelly Huston began working at the MainStreet Connection Center (campus information desk) in TUC in 2008. Kelly says "working at the MainStreet Connection Center allows me to help alumni, current Bearcats, and future Bearcats, as well as the staff and faculty that make the university what it is. Many times alumni will stop by the information desk and usually say something like, "things sure have changed since I was a student here. That reminds me that I am part of something bigger, and that no matter how much things change, one thing remains the same…that is the love one has for his/her alma mater." Kelly will graduate in 2014 with bachelor's degrees in construction management and architectural engineering. She has had cooperative education experiences at Bunnell Hill Construction Company in Lebanon and Varo Engineers in Columbus and studied abroad in London in 2011. Of her work, Information Center Manager Janet Wolf says, "I often call Kelly my hero because she is the one who I can count on when we are in a bind. She is so deserving of this award."
Kati Klinger has worked for Campus Recreation since 2011, first as a fitness floor coordinator and nutrition consultant and now also as a building supervisor. Kati says, "it is apparent that I would not be who I am today without the experience of being a University of Cincinnati student employee. My employment has been my springboard, developing me personally and equipping me with all the necessary skills for future success." In addition to working for Campus Recreation, Kati works in the College of Allied Health Sciences in the Dietetics area, and was a peer leader. She will graduate in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in dietetics. Of her work, Fitness & Wellness Coordinator Brandi Hester says, "Katy works very hard at her multiple jobs with Campus Recreation and also manages many extracurricular activities. I feel that she is beyond deserving of this scholarship."

One the best role playing games released on Nintendo 3DS is now available for a very low price on Newegg.
Shin Megami Tensei IV has been released last year in North America and Europe and has managed to be quite successful, despite being a game that's not really suited for a wider audience due to its high difficulty level.
If you still have to purchase the game and want to do it in the near future, you may want to check out this interesting new deal. Shin Megami Tensei IV is currently available on Newegg for only $29.99 instead of $49.99. It's a really great price, especially considering how long the game is and how much there is to do in it so it's totally worth its price.
Shin Megami Tensei IV features everything fans of the series expect like a huge and dark world to explore, demons to collect, customize and fuse together, a karma system, exciting battles and more. It's probably one of the best entries of the series and a game that no true role playing gamers should pass on.
Shin Megami Tensei IV is now available in North America and Japan. Despite earlier announcements, the game still has to be released in UK and Europe.

If you had the chance to get the word out about a certain cause, what would it be? One that you are passionate about, but maybe isn't as poplular as the breast cancer awarness campaign? How has it affected your life?
What's your cause?
Seriously, why are you laughing?
I've always wanted to adopt and I have two autistic nephews - one high functioning, one severe.
Mom to E (6/10/11) IUGR survivor and thriver and ^Q^ (2/9/15)
Homeless people. We need to do a better job to help the homeless get off the streets. More help, more resources, etc
ETA: I hippoed before goating and saw someone else mentioned the homeless.
Another one is credit score. In this economy, if a person was paying constantly and now has late payments, it shouldn't affect credit scores. People lost jobs, don't know how to feed families and the last thing they need is their credit ruined because of several late payments. Low credit due to missed payments means higher apr on CCs, cars, difficulty finding another place to live etc.
Prematurity Awareness is my hill to die on. March of Dimes does a great job raising awareness but when prematurity is the leading cause of death in infants, more needs to be done.
Mental Illness
I am googling NEC and Lafora disease right now ;( all of these causes / issues are heartbreaking ;(
Healthcare policy/reproductive rights; I believe that basic healthcare and reproductive rights are a human right. I'm working towards a bachelor's in Global Health and plan to earn a MPH (Master of Public Health), as well. I would really love to work on healthcare policy and public health, especially in underserved areas.
Teen pregnancy. Support and education for the mothers/children/families. It is not an ideal situation, but there needs to be more help given to this group instead of condemnation.
More research on SIDS. What definitely causes it? and more importantly how do we prevent it.
I am racking my brain to think of a cause. I don't think I have one anymore. Now, College Me, on the other hand...
I won't cross picket lines, not that you see many anymore.
When I get treated right by a business, the business can expect a call to the manager wherein I praise whatever employee it was who did well, because employees need that kind of praise.
I volunteers in the schools and do my share. So I guess my son's education is my cause?

PORT ARTHUR, Texas (AP) - A power outage has forced Motiva
Enterprises to shut down its Port Arthur refinery.
Company officials say the Port Arthur plant, which converts
about 275,000 barrels of crude oil a day, started a shutdown of
operations after the facility lost power around 11 a.m. Monday.
The cause of the power outage has not been determined. It was
not known when operations would resume.
Motiva has 14 days to submit a final report about the shutdown
to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which will then
investigate the incident.

"Kaptol" Zagreb Favorite Tip by montezaro
Zagreb Favorites: 175 reviews and 327 photos
Favorite thing: The corner of Bakac Street and Vla?ka is situated on the rise leading to Kaptol hill. On the right side of the picture you can see parts of the rampart with which the old Kaptol was fortified.
Until 1862 here stood T.Bakac Gate, Kaptol's southern entrance. Kaptol is the oldest part of the town and the seat of the Croatian Catjolic Church.

Definition of Nicaragua in English:
The largest country in Central America, with a coastline on both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean; population 5,891,200 (est. 2009); official language, Spanish; capital, Managua.
Colonized by the Spaniards, Nicaragua broke away from Spain in 1821 and, after brief membership of the United Provinces of Central America, became an independent republic in 1838. In 1979 the dictator Anastasio Somoza was overthrown by a popular revolution; the new left-wing Sandinista regime then faced a counter-revolutionary guerrilla campaign by the US-backed Contras. In the 1990 election the Sandinistas lost power to an opposition coalition.

I have a wish when using the widget. I would like to combine article and template functions in the widget.
When I show it with the article option even the child articles show up. But the text and the streamer is too big for me.
When I use it with the widget option the text looks more suitable in the widget but no child articles are displayed.
Would it also be possible to choose wether you would like to have the streamers from the front page or not in the widget?
I'm planning to use one for each category, so it would be very nice if one could design it a little bit.
Thanks for a great plugin anyway.

Sept. 30, 2013

CHARLOTTESVILLE -- The UVa women's soccer team ascended to No. 1 in all four major polls about two weeks ago, then headed out of town for the first of three straight road games.
The top-ranked Cavaliers' much-anticipated return to Klöckner Stadium came Sunday on a splendid fall afternoon. The Virginia band added to the festive atmosphere, and fans turned out in record numbers. They did not go home disappointed.
Sophomore forward Brittany Ratcliffe scored in the final seconds of the first half, and that was all UVa needed in a 1-0 victory over ACC rival Maryland.
The game, Virginia's first at home since Sept. 12, drew a crowd of 2,540, by far the largest ever for a women's soccer game at Klöckner.
"That's awesome," All-America midfielder Morgan Brian said Sunday when she heard the attendance figure.
The previous record was set on Oct. 18, 2007, when 2,011 fans saw UVa blank Virginia Tech 2-0.
"I thought it was a great crowd," head coach Steve Swanson said Sunday after his team stretched its winning streak to 11 games.
"It's great to see. I've always thought this is a great soccer community. They're getting behind the team, which is really important, because I think the team's fun to watch. We feed off the crowd. There's no question about that. We could hear them today, and I think it was a fantastic atmosphere today."
The only unbeaten and untied team in Division I women's soccer, UVa (11-0, 5-0 ACC) had scored fewer than three goals in a game only once this season, in a 2-1 win at Boston College on Sept. 19. The Cavaliers outshot the 22nd-ranked Terrapins 21-9 on Sunday but had little to show for that dominance.
"We just weren't as sharp as we normally have been in and around the attacking third," Swanson said.
Senior defender Morgan Stith said: "I give Maryland a lot of credit. They played well today. But I think that we were able to figure out their game plan and finally get the ball wide and forward, and our forwards like Brittany did an awesome job of getting through them."
In 2012, Ratcliffe had one assist and no goals to show for her 18 appearances. She has seven goals this season, all off the bench -- a UVa single-season record for a substitute.
Her seventh was a gem. Ratcliffe dribbled through two defenders and then, with her left foot, chipped the ball over Maryland goalie Rachelle Beanlands with 17 seconds left in the first half.
"She made just a brilliant run," Swanson said. "You want players that come off the bench to really give you a spark, and Brittany's done that all year long. It's been really neat to see her improvement over the year."
A season ago, the Wahoos won the ACC title and advanced to the NCAA tournament's third round, so they're accustomed to success. This is only the second time in school history, however, that UVa has been ranked No. 1 in women's soccer. The first was in 1990, for three weeks.
"It's been awesome," Stith said. "It's such an honor, and we're very, very grateful for that title, but we also know it's still kind of early into the season. I think we're excited and it's a nice honor, but we definitely want to keep pushing."
Asked if the No. 1 ranking puts more pressure on the Cavaliers, Brian said, "That's probably not the best word to describe it. But I think when we do play games, every team is going to come out, and they know we're ranked No. 1 and they want to beat us. So I think we're going to get the best game of every single team we play. So we have to be sharp every single time we step on the field."
Stith said: "I think having the name Virginia on our chest, it's like we're an automatic target. But we're confident, and I think we're going to be good going forward."
Around Grounds, the team's success has not gone unnoticed, and that's been gratifying for Swanson's players.
"There's a lot more people tweeting and talking about women's soccer," Brian said. "We're No. 1, we haven't lost a game yet, so we want to keep that going, and hopefully that can make it even better around campus and get some more support when we play at home."
Stith said she's also seen a change "within the Virginia athletic community. I feel like all the teams have made a real big effort to come to our games and support us on Twitter and everything. It's been such an awesome ride so far."
Virginia's three-game homestand continues Sunday at 2 p.m. against Clemson (6-2-3, 3-1-1). It concludes Oct. 10 against one of the ACC's new teams, No. 3 Notre Dame (9-1, 5-0).
Swanson isn't worried that an extended stay atop the polls will hurt his players' preparation or focus.
"We set our goals, and we have not achieved one goal yet," Swanson said. "It's part of the process, but I think we're really focused on our goals, which have to do with the long term. I think we've got enough experience that these players know that these games matter and they're important and we need to focus on them. We can't look too far ahead or get caught up in some of these other things that we have no control over.
"They've been very good. I think our [practices] have always been good, and in general our group has just brought a real good blue-collar mentality to the way we come out and train and the way we come out and play."

The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
The classic graphic novel. Tintin discovers that one of the last Incan descendants has kidnapped his missing friend, Professor Calculus. Tintin and Captain Haddock follow the kidnapper to Peru--can they save Calculus?
About the Author
Herge, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist. The internationally successful Adventures of Tintin are his most well-known and beloved works. They have been translated into 38 different languages and have inspired such legends as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. He wrote and illustrated for The Adventures of Tintin until his death in 1983.
Herg (Georges Remi) created the iconic Tintin in 1929, who went on to sell over 160 million copies worldwide. He died in 1983, but his work lives on, inspiring the Herg museum (opened in 2009) in his native Belgium, a Steven Spielberg-directed motion-capture blockbuster in 2011, and a record-setting auction ($1.6 million for a single drawing) in 2012.

Arts & Entertainment
'Karate Kid' Reignites the Genre
Last week's box office success of The Karate Kid says less about its stars and more about the need for the karate film genre to make a comeback as family entertainment. A film like Karate Kid — the original and the current remake — offer import life-lessons to kids. Namely, that we live in a world of bullies who often have to be restrained by force, that anything worth doing is worth doing well, and that perseverance can be its own reward. There's another element here— a warm exchange of cultures in play in Kid that is not intentional, overly schmaltzy or After School Special-ish.
Don't get me wrong — Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment machine, plus his son, plus one of the most successful action heroes on Earth isn't the worst formula for success I've ever seen. Karate movies have long contained fights precipitated by men — and women — protecting a family name, avenging a relative, or combat in the name of preserving dignity and pride. Karate films have real heroes you can root for and a nobility at their base that give them universal appeal. In the time before Rambo, karate films offered something gun-toters John Wayne and Charles Bronson did not — conflict resolution that didn't always involve killing someone. Black Belt Jones took on the mafia, but they mostly got up to serve time and possibly fight another day. Sure, we can argue that films with violence of any kind (and, as was the case in Enter The Dragon, sexual overtones and nudity) aren't good for children. But in 2010, they see kids selling phlegm on the Cartoon Network. They belch and fart, for God's sake.
Six in one hand? T'yeah, whatever.
The original Kid was popular but got panned in the canon of karate films as "John Hughes goes Kung Fu" and that's a fair criticism, I think. It's an odd—and oddly natural — mash-up that works two more times before losing steam because, well, no one really wants to see a little girl fight. But the update brings something more to the table without hitting you over the head with it: A boy meets a man who imparts wisdom upon him, both practical and spiritual, that no one else could. What story could be better than that? And it's so great that the child protagonist breaks out of his prescribed ideas about life to discover new things. And so wonderful that our children can see something of themselves onscreen and have a complete movie experience that doesn't involve anti-social behavior, M-16s or gang-related deaths.
The best karate films were lessons — the kind of lessons we could use in the world today.
More, please.
