Innovative Kickstarter project finds another use
for the ever-versatile iPhone
Though 3D films are increasing in popularity at
the box office, the technology isn't exactly accessible
to the average amateur or student film makers. But a new
stereoscopic rig and app currently generating attention on
Kickstarter could put the power of 3D filmmaking into the hands of
every consumer with an iPhone and a story to tell.
the S3Rig, short for "Stereoscopic Smartphone Starter
Rig," the product is simple but powerful, allowing users
to insert two iPhones side by side and begin recording immediately.
The S3 app syncs the two phones together using Bluetooth for
simultaneous recording, allowing one smartphone to control the
Anthony Pires, an entrepreneur and department
director of media arts at Art Institute of Philadelphia, developed
the idea while working on a new curriculum that would introduce his
students to 3D filmmaking. "I didn't want
students to think you have to spend $5,000 on a rig plus adjoining
cameras in order to shoot quality footage," he says.
Shooting with the rig creates a left eye movie
and a right eye movie, which must be combined in post-production
using video editing software. The rig is currently only compatible
with the iPhone 4 and 4s, although Pires plans to adjust the design
for the iPhone 5 in the future.
With just two days remaining on the
S3Rig's Kickstarter Campaign, backers that pledge $50 or
more receive their own rig. Whether the project is fully funded
through Kickstarter or not, students at the Art Institute of
Philadelphia are benefiting from S3: they've been using
it this semester in an introductory stereoscopic filming
For more information about the S3Rig, visit
their Kickstarter page. ■

Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.
Customize your experience by selecting your role:
Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
I am considering joining VRBO to rent my primary residence on a weekly "vacation" basis. My home is in an upscale, convienent area in NC, but would not be considered a vacation destination. There is a nice golf course within walking distance, and they host a few huge tournaments each year. I am thinking perhaps people in town for golf or other reasons may want to rent my home rather than stay in a hotel. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions regarding renting in a non-vacation location. Thanks
Hi neighbor!
Have you considered how much time and effort it will take to make the place ready for renters? You wouldn't want to leave out your best kitchen knives or your china. You'd have to clean your closets out, put away all your personal toiletries. I can't imagine "vacating" my primary residence and prepping it for renters. Heck, we don't like to rent our VR in the off season because there just isn't enough money in it to go to all the trouble of "moving out" after we've spent weeks and weeks there in the winter.
Thank you so much for taking the time to offer your suggestions!!
Linda hit the nail on the head!! Unless you live a Spartan life, it really won't work to rent out your primary residence occasionally.
Also, in a non -vacation destination area, the local ordinances may treat your vacation rental in the same way they treat long term rentals -- you need to do your homework to figure out if it's legal and possible to rent your home out without major hassles. Does your upscale neighborhood have covenants restricting rentals?
Check out Homeaway and VRBO to see if there are any other homes on the rental market in your area. If so, what do their availability calendars say and does it look like you could compete with them?
I am going to make the same point as Carol....you need to research your local "market area" to see what people who live and rent there are doing. Because, we can not generalize to give you a better answer with knowing nothing more than what you've offered as information. In any event, research will give you all the answers you need.
Search online on the "rental" sites. As Carol suggested, start with HomeAway and VRBO. Search on your location...and then read all the advertisements to know what they feature in terms of your location, activities nearby, other nearby towns, their house rental rates, etc... to see what/how they are promoting visitation to your area....and do check their availability calendars...and read the "travelers' reviews' on their advertisinig pages. Also, check TripAdvisor.com...for your area...but also look at the TripAdvisor "forums"...there could be one for your area...and that's where you'll find locals answering questions {like here} from travelers to your area. You haven't mentioned where in NC, so I can't say if there is a TA forum for it. You find "forums" on the TA homepage {look at the left-hand side of the page...towards the top.}
I also agree with Irbaldwin/Linda. First, rental guests generally expect a home to be void of the *personal* contents of the owners - in the bedroom closets, bathrooms and inside the refrigerator and food storage closets....and everything spotless...as if no one has been living there before they arrived! You can offer them a "stocked pantry"...but as long as it's fresh and doesn't look as if you're offering yous or anyone else's leftovers.
So, you'd have to clear it out, completely, before someone "checks in". Do a deep clean each time before a guest arrives to check in...if guests see grime anywhere they usually remember it, e.g, when they write a review...and that will affect your future bookings. And, you would really have to be careful not to leave anything in the home that you will be sorry about if/when it gets damaged {guests break...stain...completely ruin things}....or it goes "missing" {that's been known to happen}. So, don't leave your really nice wine glasses...dinnerware....silverware...a silk/persion carpet....your best towels...valuable books, art, .jewelry....etc., which means, again, you'd need to do "inventory switches" each time -- have a stock of "guest inventory".
What to do with your stuff? If you have a spare room that you can *lock*...you could always move all your personal and cherished things into it. This moving "in and out" gets "old" and tiresome after a few times...which is why a rental needs to be stocked and equipped with items that are not "really your personal" ones.
Great ideas - thank you so much for your thoughtful response!!
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to give me some input!
Hi Wendy:
My suggestion: It all depends!
I cannot answer your question, but I hope I left you with enough questions that you and your husband have to discuss before you make your decision.
We converted our vacation beach home into rental because we are no longer using it every weekend but every three months, so it took us a month to clean it up and convert it to a neutral environment.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful response! I have decided to try it and see how it goes. I don't have a lot of "stuff", and I'm going to create a locked area in the house for anything of value. I figure I only need to rent it 6 times a year to reach my minimum financial goal.
Make sure your closet where you lock personal things has a deadbolt. A simple door lock won't do it, you may have some guests who can open them with a credit card or a screwdriver and you will never know if anything has been taken.
A broken deadbolt is very obvious.
Best of luck,
Agree with Gabriel - there was a thread a while ago and everyone agreed the worst lock for an owner's closet or off-limits area was a padlock as it just seemed to entice renters to know what was inside! Deadbolts are cheap and you will have a dedicated key for it.
Just to re-inforce choosing a deadlock over padlocks - most insurance companies will not accept padlocks as reliable, and won't insure or cover any loss if you use them. It's definitely worth the expense to call a locksmith.
Hi, again, centralnc,
It's good to learn that you are going to "give it a go". There is an abundance of good information in other threads on this Community Forum. One in particular to visit and read is on the topic of "screening" {just type in that word at the top of this page in the field for "Search For Answers". All previous discussions will appear. When we all start out renting our homes, we have all discovered along the way how to set our personal/business criteria for which people "get the keys"...and who we "run the other way from". Screening is key! Generally, and I do mean the overwhelming majority of my guests over the course of years, have been super people...I could not have asked for better. I really enjoy helping make people's dream vacations become their reality. I hope you have fun with it, too. Wishing you wonderful guest experiences Stick with this Community Forum. I think this is a "class act" with all the owners here who are "top of the line" with all their various owner/rental business experiences.

Grand Forks Holiday Home Tour to Help PoliticiansGrand Forks, ND (WDAZ TV) - A Grand Forks tradition is paving the way for politicians to continue campaigning.
By: Stacie Van Dyke, WDAY
A Grand Forks tradition is paving the way for politicians to continue campaigning.
People in Grand Forks can get ideas on new ways to deck their halls at the Holiday Home Tour. Homes are decorated for the season from table settings to Christmas trees.
Margaret Fish - Bake Sale Co-Manager: "I think everybody gets excited. They get excited at looking at the homes because they're always different. They're always bigger and newer and it's just fantastic to go see them."
Decorations for the homes were provided by places like Bemidji and Pier 1, and many of them were also available for purchase.
Rebekah Seeger - Homeowner: "They're gorgeous. They're beautiful, and each one is unique in its own self and you can see little bits of the family come through. Also, the decorators did an amazing job."
The tour has happened every two years for more than 20 years. It costs $25, and that money pays for Republicans running for state offices.
Shane Goettle - Candidate for U.S. Congress: "I think it's a great community event because people are interacting and getting acquainted with other people, and I'm meeting lots of new people here so it's very fun."
Viewers and homeowners alike appreciate getting into the holiday spirit.
Rebekah Seeger - Homeowner: "I thought it would be really interesting to have someone else come in who is an expert at decorating and design and see what they could add to the home it's really inspiring to think that for future times, Christmases and holidays and stuff, remember what they did and what I can implement to the home."
For more details go to gfhome tour.com. The tour continues tomorrow from noon until 5.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is about ensuring students are able to complete their academic program in a timely manner while achieving minimum academic standards. In an age of increasing accountability of the use of federal student aid funds (and other federal, state, and institutional funds), institutions and students must demonstrate financial aid funds are being used to assist students in completing their academic goals in the most efficient way.
Federal regulations mandate all students are required to maintain SAP toward a degree in order to receive financial assistance through Title IV federal financial aid (including, but not limited to, the Pell Grant, Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, Parent PLUS, Graduate/Professional PLUS, Federal Work-study, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, TEACH Grant) and need-based state aid (such as the Kentucky CAP Grant) programs. Students must meet the academic standards as outlined in the SAP policy. These standards are for financial aid purposes only and neither replaces nor overrides academic policies outlined by the University of Louisville. The SAP policy applies to all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students as described below.
Students are initially considered meeting SAP when admitted as new, degree-seeking Freshmen. Courses taken as a high school visitor student will impact a student's SAP assessment beginning with the first annual SAP evaluation after the student begins enrollment as a new, degree-seeking Freshman.
Post-baccalaureate students and those seeking a second undergraduate degree should be aware assessment of their SAP status will be based on criteria established for undergraduate students.
Graduate students and students seeking a second graduate degree will be assessed according to the criteria established for graduate students.
Dental and Medical students are considered to be maintaining satisfactory academic progress if they are in good academic standing as determined by the standards and promotions committee at each school.
Law students are considered to be maintaining SAP if they are in good standing as defined by the school of Law and are meeting outlined Pace and Maximum Time Frame requirements.
Dental School SAP Policy
Medical School SAP Policy
Law School SAP Policy
Policy Components for Undergraduate and Graduate Students
There are three components of SAP consisting of quantitative and qualitative measurements. Quantitative measurements evaluate the pace and progress by which a student is working toward the completion of his/her program. This is measured by establishing a required percentage of credit hours that must be passed when attempted and by a maximum time frame in which a student must complete his/her required coursework. The qualitative measurement evaluates the quality (GPA and academic standing) of the student's academic work.
Quantitative Requirements
1. Maximum Time Frame
All students are expected to finish their program within a maximum time frame as determined by the university. All attempted credit hours are considered toward the maximum time allowance, regardless of whether or not the student received financial aid.
Undergraduate Students: A student's total cumulative attempted hours may not exceed 182 hours (150% of the minimum 121 hours required to earn a bachelor's degree -- 121 hours x 150%=182 hours)
- If the sole academic plan is Paralegal Studies Associate Degree, the student cannot exceed more than 95 cumulative attempted hours.
Graduate Students: A student's total cumulative attempted hours may not exceed 150% of the minimum hours needed to complete the degree program for which he/she is enrolled.
Though SAP is generally only reviewed annually for students who are not on SAP probation, if it is determined a student will exceed his or her maximum time frame established prior to the next award year's annual SAP evaluation, the student will be reviewed on a semester basis instead of annually. For example, if an undergraduate student is evaluated at the end of spring semester as meeting SAP and has 176 cumulative attempted hours, if the student exceeds 182 hours after the summer term, he/she will be evaluated for SAP as of the end of the summer term.
2. Pace
Undergraduate and graduate students must be on target to complete their academic program within a set time frame. To determine if a student is meeting this standard, total cumulative earned hours are compared to total cumulative attempted hours. This is calculated by dividing the total cumulative earned hours by the total cumulative attempted hours. The result must be 66.66% or greater, which means a student must complete and pass at least two-thirds of his/her cumulative attempted hours.
Earned Hours
Attempted Hours
|SAP Evaluation
|12/24 = 50%
Does NOT meet SAP
| 60/75 = 80%
DOES meet SAP
| 60/99 = 60.61%
Does NOT meet SAP
Qualitative Requirements
1. GPA and Academic Standing
- Undergraduate Students: Students must maintain at least a cumulative 2.0 official GPA and not be dismissed nor suspended from their academic program, as determined by the academic units' policies.
- Graduate Students: Students must maintain at least a cumulative 3.0 official GPA and not be dismissed nor suspended from their academic program, as determined by their academic units' policies.
Evaluation and Notification
SAP will be reviewed annually at the end of the spring semester for all students who have applied for summer federal financial aid or have completed the upcoming academic year's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and who are eligible to enroll in future semesters. In addition, students must be fully graded (no blank grades) for each of their prior semesters of enrollment at UofL. Students who become eligible to enroll, apply or become fully graded after the first annual SAP process is run for the award year will have their SAP eligibility evaluated prior to their federal aid eligibility being determined. For students who exceed their maximum time frame established as of the end of the summer or fall term, his/her SAP will be re-evaluated at the end of the respective term. In order to be eligible for federal and state need-based grant financial aid, students are required to meet certain SAP standards, regardless of whether or not financial aid was received in prior semesters. If it is determined that a student does not meet SAP standards, he or she will be ineligible for any federal and state need-based financial aid programs. Any federal financial aid offered for the summer term prior to SAP being evaluated will be canceled if it is determined the student does not meet SAP standards.
If it is determined a student is not meeting SAP standards, he or she will be notified electronically. The notification will include an explanation of the SAP standards evaluated and the specific standards not met by the student.
Students who lose eligibility for federal and state need-based programs due to not meeting SAP requirements may:
- earn the necessary GPA or semester hours to meet the minimum requirements while not receiving federal and state need-based financial aid and regain eligibility the following SAP year review, or
- submit a SAP appeal.
Unless academically dismissed, students denied federal and state need-based aid may continue attending using other aid sources or by funding their education themselves.
It is the student's responsibility to monitor his or her academic progress and to be aware of the requirements of his or her program and SAP standards.
Appeal Process
A student determined ineligible for financial aid for failure to meet the University of Louisville's Satisfactory Academic Progress standards has the right to make a written appeal to the Student Financial Aid Office if he or she can demonstrate:
- failure to meet the minimum standard was caused by extreme or unusual circumstances beyond his or her control,
- he or she has resolved the issue(s) that caused the deficit,
- the issue(s) will not affect his or her performance in the future.
***Students held for Maximum Time Frame you must submit this worksheet, completed by their Academic Advisor as part of their appeal***
If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on probation. His or her SAP will be evaluated the following semester to ensure the student is still meeting the appropriate requirements. If at that time the standards are not being met, a SAP hold will be placed back on the student's account and any federal aid and need-based state grant aid in future semesters will be canceled.
If it is determined a student is not meeting SAP standards and he or she self-corrects his or her issue(s) in a future semester and still meets all other SAP requirements, he or she will become eligible for federal financial aid the following summer semester. If a student corrects his or her issue during a summer or fall term and wants to be considered for federal financial aid prior to the next award year's annual SAP evaluation, he or she must file an appeal. If a student corrects his or her deficit during a summer session and submits an appeal, and the appeal is approved, the student will not be eligible for federal financial aid for any summer session. The student would be eligible beginning the fall semester.
Grade Changes
If a student is held for SAP and a professor changes one or more of his/her grade(s), the student must file an appeal to have his or her SAP re-evaluated. There is no automatic process to clear SAP holds for students who have a grade changed. It is the student's responsibility to submit an appeal. If no appeal is submitted, SAP will be re-evaluated during the next award year's annual SAP evaluation process.
Multiple and Dual Degrees
For students who are pursuing a second undergraduate or graduate degree or are working on dual degrees, hours from both degrees are counted when evaluating SAP. If determined not to meet the maximum time frame component of SAP, the student has the option to submit an appeal documenting their situation. If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on an academic plan which will generally allow the student to attempt up to 150% of the additional credit hours required to earn his or her second or dual degree.
Career Changes
SAP standards are evaluated based on academic careers. Therefore, if a student switches careers while at the University of Louisville, his or her SAP standards will be evaluated based only on his or her academic data for the career he or she is currently active in. Therefore, as an undergraduate, a student may be determined to not be meeting SAP standards. However, if the student switches to a graduate career, the next time a SAP evaluation is completed for the student, it will only be based on his or her graduate career information; no undergraduate career information will be factored into the evaluation (unless an undergraduate course is coded as a career transfer).
Academic Program Changes
If a student changes their academic program (changes majors), credits specific to the earlier major(s) will still be evaluated when determining a student's SAP status. Therefore, coursework taken by a student for enrollment in another major(s) will be counted during their SAP review.
Instructions for Submitting an Appeal
- Complete the SAP appeal application.
- Attach a typed and signed letter. The appeal letter must explain the following:
- a description of the unforeseen circumstance which may have prevented the student from meeting the SAP standards;
- explain how the circumstances have been resolved, and;
- explain how the circumstance(s) will not affect the student's future academic progress.
Documentation of circumstances described in your letter must be included with the written appeal.

• The prognosis for being able to medically meet standards
|Illness, accident, or injury of a significant person in the student's life
|Provide documentation (i.e., physician's statement, police report, or documentation from a third party professional) relating to the individual for whom the student provided care or support
|Death of a family member or significant person is the student's life
|Provide a copy of the obituary or death certificate

|Other unforeseen circumstance beyond the student's control
|Appeal letter must clearly state how the situation was unforeseen and beyond the student's control
Provide supporting documentation that verifies the circumstances the student describes in their appeal letter
Monitoring the Status of Your Appeal
It may take up to 15 business days to review an appeal once it is submitted to the Student Financial Aid Office. Your appeal will be reviewed by the SAP committee. All decisions are final. A second review can only be requested if you can provide new information and documentation that may have been omitted from the initial appeal. If a decision has not been made by the time your bill is due, it is your responsibility to pay your balance in full or discuss your payment options with the Bursar's Office.
You will receive written notification of the decision made on your appeal. The status of your appeal can be monitored on your ULink To-Do-List.
Below is a listing of the potential appeal statuses:
- In-Progress: The appeal has been received, but not reviewed.
- Deferred: Your appeal has been reviewed, but the committee has deferred your appeal for additional information. You will receive a letter in the mail detailing the additional information or documentation needed. Additional Information for Deferred SAP Appeal (pdf).
- Approved: Your appeal has been approved, and you are on SAP probation. While on SAP probation, you may only receive financial aid for ONE payment semester. At the end of your probation semester, you must have corrected your SAP issue(s) and be meeting all SAP standards, or if placed on an academic plan, you must be meeting the requirements specified in your plan. You will be placed on an SAP plan if it has been determined you will not be able to correct your SAP issue(s) in one semester. You will receive written notification outlining your SAP plan. A SAP plan will ensure you will be able to meet SAP standards by a specific point in time.
- Denied: Your appeal was not approved based on the information you provided. You are not eligible to receive federal or state need-based financial aid. If you intend to remain enrolled at the University of Louisville, you must pay your bill with other sources.
Limit of appeals
There is no limit on the number of appeals a student can submit; however, a student who appeals using the same extraordinary and extenuating circumstance twice will be denied.
Other SAP Information
Additional information regarding grades, credits, academic polices and study abroad
- Earned Hours: A,B,C,D, Deferred, Pass, CR Test hours and Transfer Hours accepted by the University of Louisville
- Attempted Hours: All earned hours, plus W, F, I, U (with exceptions listed below)
- Accepted Transfer and Test Credits: Count as earned and attempted hours; are not factored into the student's GPA calculation
- Repeat Courses: Courses count as attempted hours each time taken, regardless of whether federal financial aid is received. If the class is passed, it is also counted as earned hours. If a student is using any of his or her four repeat options offered through the Registrar's Office, the initial enrollment in the course (the class which is being replaced) will be included as attempted hours and excluded from earned hours if previously passed (which impacts pace), and it will be excluded in the GPA calculation
- Incomplete and Withdrawal Grades: Count as attempted hours; do not count as earned hours
- Deferred Grades: Counted as earned hours and attempted hours
- Audited/Non-Credit Courses: Excluded from all calculations and will not be considered when determining SAP
- Credit by Exam Courses: Courses are counted as attempted hours, and if the course is passed, it is also counted as earned hours. If a student receives an A, B, C, D, or F grade for the course, it is factored into their GPA calculation
- Remedial/Developmental Courses: Courses are used in calculating pace, but are not used in determining maximum timeframe. Although remedial courses are not calculated in the official university GPA, a separate GPA including grades in remedial course must be calculated and used for SAP if a student failed any remedial work
- Academic Bankruptcy and Fresh Start: Will impact a student's earlier cumulative GPA; however, has no impact on earned and attempted hours (no impact on maximum time frame and pace-hours are still counted)
- Study Abroad: Courses accepted by the University of Louisville will be used in determining SAP.

Sam McKewon and Jon Nyatawa break down the key plays in the Nebraska-SDSU game, one quarter at a time.
* * *
First Quarter
Ameer Abdullah: On Nebraska's first play from scrimmage, the I-back rips off 24 yards on a cutback run.
Tommy Armstrong: Starts at quarterback and completes his first career pass, a 28-yarder to Abdullah, who's running a wheel route out of NU's inverted wishbone formation.
Armstrong: Executes a speed option perfectly, freezing a defender with a quick duck into the line before pitching to Imani Cross for a 5-yard touchdown. NU leads 7-0.
Cam Jones: The big SDSU tight end catches passes of 15 and 16 yards to start the Jackrabbits' first drive.
Zach Zenner: The FCS All-America running back doesn't disappoint, bolting 40 yards for a TD to tie the game. NU linebacker Josh Banderas vacates the middle of the field to cover Jones.
Quincy Enunwa: On third-and-12, the Husker senior makes a 33-yard catch down the sideline, dragging a foot as he falls out of bounds.
Cross: Finishes NU's second drive with a 2-yard, hard-driving touchdown. NU takes a 14-7 lead.
Zenner: On third-and-2, he patiently works around the right side of his offensive line before hitting the jets for a 35-yard run. NU, again, misjudges his speed. He later finishes the drive with a 3-yard TD to tie the game at 14.
Abdullah: Loses his second fumble in as many games, getting the wind knocked out of him as he does. SDSU recovers.
Zenner: Goes over 100 yards for the quarter as SDSU moves inside the Husker 5. The Jackrabbits appear to score a go-ahead TD, but are called for offensive pass interference.
David Santos: The sophomore linebacker sacks SDSU quarterback Austin Sumner for an 8-yard loss. One play later, Sumner is sacked by Avery Moss and Randy Gregory, forcing a 48-yard field goal from Justin Syrovatka. SDSU leads 17-14.
Second Quarter
Winston Wright: The SDSU corner is dubiously flagged for pass interference on Enunwa.
Ron Kellogg: NU's other backup makes his best play, stepping up in the pocket for a 17-yard pass to Jake Long.
Abdullah: Atones for the fumble with a solid drive, including runs of 7 and 14 followed by a 1-yard TD plunge.

Steve Beideck takes a look at the key moments and playmakers in NU's 59-20 win.
John Stiegelmeier: On fourth-and-2, SDSU's head coach elects to punt from midfield. Nebraska has not come close to slowing the Jacks.
Enunwa: On Nebraska's ensuing series, he catches a 12-yard pass from Armstrong on third-and-10 to keep the drive alive.
Armstrong: Runs for 12 yards on a zone read, then throws a 16-yard touchdown to Sam Burtch, who's running a post-corner route. Nebraska leads 28-17.
Stanley Jean-Baptiste: Steps in front of a poorly judged Sumner pass for his fourth interception of the year.
Kellogg: Zips a 23-yard touchdown to Tyler Wullenwaber. It's Kellogg's best pass of the first half.
Stiegelmeier: After punting on fourth-and-2, he goes for a fourth-and-14 from the NU 29, coming up a yard short. It's the second "blink" of the half from the SDSU coach.
Kellogg: Runs the two-minute drill with sharpness, completing four straight passes to move NU inside the SDSU 10. But the drive stalls there, and Mauro Bondi kicks a 22-yard field goal to end the half. Nebraska leads 38-17.
Third Quarter
Abdullah: After Nebraska forces a punt, he runs for 41 yards on NU's first offensive play.
Kenny Bell: He'd dropped a TD in the first half, and now he fumbles after catching an Armstrong pass. SDSU recovers at its own 10.
Zenner: Runs for 16 yards off tackle, reaching the 200-yard plateau on just 20 carries. But he drops a swing pass later in the drive, a costly mistake that helps kill the Jackrabbits' drive. Syrovatka misses a 33-yarder, and SDSU's hopes appear dashed.
Armstrong: Fumbles on Nebraska's ensuing drive, but receiver Jordan Westerkamp bails him out by recovering it. Armstrong then completes three passes to help NU reach the SDSU 10.
Terrell Newby: Squirts through a hole, then crawls to the end zone for a 10-yard score. NU leads 45-17.
Randy Gregory: Like a big puma, he steps in front of another poorly judged Sumner pass and returns it 33 yards for a touchdown. It's the Huskers' third pick-six of the year.
Fourth Quarter
Cam Jones: SDSU's tight end leaks out into the flat. He's wide open. Eventually, NU's defense brings down the 250-pounder, but after 25 yards.
Zaire Anderson: NU blitzes and Anderson comes free, dropping Sumner for a 7-yard loss.
Alonzo Moore: He catches a quick screen pass and accelerates into the open field. He gains 19 yards on the play — and a 15-yard late hit penalty puts NU in scoring position.
Newby: He gets his second TD of the game, scoring from 5 yards out.
Aaron Curry: Sumner tries to elude the rush, but Curry tracks him down for an 11-yard sack.
Charles Jackson: He gets credited with the forced fumble as running back Isaac Rodriguez powers into the second level. Jonathan Rose recovers the loose ball.

We are thrilled to celebrate our 120th Anniversary with the debut of the highly anticipated 1892 Artesian Lager. Crafted by Wynkoop Brewing Company in honor of the Brown Palace's historic anniversary, this beer is is a tribute to Denver, Colorado and the tradition of micro-brewing. This limited-edition retro beer is brewed with water from the Brown Palace's underground aquifer. The goal of the partnership between The Brown and Wynkoop was to create a beer that echoes the early beers that were served in the Brown Palace's first years. Colorado brewers have long boasted about the state's natural water, so this craft adds a niche, local story to the tradition.
1892 Artesian Lager showcases one of the Brown Palace's finest hidden treasures. In 1888, Henry C. Brown had a well drilled 780 feet deep on the site of his early Denver, Colorado grazing land. Four years later, the Brown Palace Hotel was built at that site and the water from the well was used to supply the hotel. Today the well continues to provide water to Brown Palace and guests drink straight from the aquifer by taking a sip from the hotel lobby water fountain. The pressure gauge for the well can be found just outside the entrance to Ship Tavern.
This draft-only beer is perfect for summer drinking with light flavors of blonde malts andoats, slight sweetness, and restrained hops. Clear and filtered, this beer has an attractive straw color, white head, and champagne-esque effervescence. 1892 is fermented with lager yeast at a slightly warmer temperature than modern-day lagers, to mirror the early days of Denver, Colorado's brewing history.
This is the second beer Wynkoop has crafted for the Brown. Last fall they used honey from the Brown Palace rooftop beehives to create Rooftop Honey Saison, a Belgian-style saison that will be brewed again this fall.
1892 Artesian Lager is only available on tap at the Brown Palace's Ship Tavern and Wynkoop Brewery and is sure to be the highlight of this summer's Denver nightlife. Stop by and taste Denver, Colorado history.

Pessimism, pessimism plus more pessimism..
After two weeks of early mornings and late nights was it all worth it? The businessmen probably think so.
This morning's meeting was probably the last one. A lot of us have been disappointed about what has happened (or not happened) here at the COP. Even though it was somehow expected, we are still drained and depressed.
After the meeting, I went to sit in one of the multiple corners of the venue, and saw all these people walking from one place to another trying not to be late for the next (possibly) senseless meeting or negotiation.
Well, maybe for big business it's not so senseless, they are definitely the big winners here, as they will keep on with their "business as usual" plus they will get some more profit from polluting with all these crazy offsetting mechanisms.
So expectations to reach an agreement here at Poznan are very low. As I see it, these negotiations are sold out to the people with fancy suits who got us in this mess in the first place. Will you allow them to keep making the COPs a series of international business meetings to see how they will take advantage of climate change as a business opportunity? Ok, some of my colleagues from FoE tell me that not all businesses are bad, like wind and solar... But the problem is how businesses are structured and how they work, not what they sell.
As global civil society we should block this nonsense and make a call not to accept what's going on here. I don't understand why people can't see the urgency of our situation, this is why it is so important to inform and empower!
I'm a little disappointed about the international youth group (not Young FoE - those guys are great), at first it was looking good, they were planning outrageous actions to wake the delegates up, but sadly some of those involved watered down the actions (just like some of the grown ups also at the UNFCCC), afraid they would loose their accreditation. BUT, there are some youth groups and young people that are not letting themselves be manipulated by the status quo, these are the true heroes and my respect goes out to them.
OK! I feel better now! No more pessimism. We need to keep on fighting for a fair and clean planet. You probably are thinking that I'm too pessimistic and that I'm not giving any positive thoughts on how we could fix this mess.. but that's another post =)
PS: Poland is sooo much into 80s pop music!! you can hear it all over the place. Maybe there's a historical reason why?

We have just tested both the Canon and Nikon versions of the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM lens, announced on February 8, 2011.
First we'll analyze the lens results when mounted on the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and on the Nikon D3x. Then we'll measure the progress in terms of image quality by comparing the 2011 results with the earlier non-stabilized version, the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro, announced in June 2004.
Finally, we'll see how this lens stacks up against other macro lenses already tested, giving us an opportunity to revisit the overview of 100mm macros for full-frame cameras that we recently published on this site.
With a DxOMark Score of 23 for the Nikon mount and 24 for the Canon, the two 105mm macros have, for all purposes, identical image quality. (Note : With a T-stop of 3.2 on the Nikon and 3 on the Canon, there is a difference of about 0.19EV at full aperture. The Canon version gains almost 1/3EV over the Nikon version, making the Canon slightly brighter at f/2.8.)
|Strong points
|Weak points
|Excellent sharpness
|Strong vignetting, with a loss of 1.5EV in the last 1/3 of the field at f/2.8, and a loss of 0.7EV in the last 1/3 of the field at f/4.
|No distortion
|Reasonable weight
|High price
|Well-corrected chromatic aberrations
Globally, these lenses provide the same image quality - and in fact, the non-stabilized version controls vignetting better. So at first glance, it may seem that a jump in price of $300 is unjustified, but realistically, stabilization is a genuinely useful feature for a macro lens of this kind. Our advice, then, is to go for the stabilized version (if your budget permits).
Looking at the details, we see:
Verdict: After all this time, we frankly hoped for greater advances in image quality. This said, we acknowledge that there's been at least a little improvement in sharpness and transmittion.
One other good point is that stabilization hasn't added any more weight to the lens.
Note that the prices for professional-quality Sigma lenses have risen significantly. By raising its prices, however, Sigma has lost some of its advantage over Nikon and Canon in terms of quality-to-price ratio.
Below is a summary of our updated scorecard (available at 100mm macros for full-frame cameras):
With image quality results practically equal to Canon's series L, the stabilized Sigma is certainly good enough to be considered by fully serious player in this lens catagory.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We have just tested the Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO on both Canon and Nikon mounts, giving us the opportunity to review the performance of all the lenses in this category (though we're waiting for the results of the latest Sigma 105mm f 2.8 EX DG OS, which should come our way soon!).

Should terminally ill patients have the right to kill themselves? Voters in Massachusetts will soon decide. Last Wednesday, the Secretary of the Commonwealth announced that on November 6, 2012, when Bay State voters go to the polls to pick the next President, they will also have their say on a ballot measure called the Death with Dignity Act. If passed, the law would make Massachusetts the third state to give adults diagnosed with six months or less to live the option to end their lives using a lethal dose of doctor-prescribed medication.
Last year, volunteers from across the state began a petition drive to collect the 68,911 signatures needed to introduce the act for consideration by the state legislature; by the time they were done, they'd gotten more than 86,000 voters to sign on to show their support. Lawmakers had until the beginning of May to address the issue, but they declined to do so. In response, volunteers fanned out for a second wave of signature gathering. An additional 21,000 people from the state's 14 counties signed on to support the Act. That's nearly double the number needed to bypass the statehouse and bring the issue directly to voters via ballot measure.
Oregon and Washington were the first states to enact Death with Dignity laws. (In Montana, the state's Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that physician-assisted suicide was legal, but Montana has no guidelines in place to regulate and monitor the practice.) Since 1997, when Oregon's Death with Dignity Act went into effect, more than 900 people have received prescriptions to their end their lives. Not all have used the drugs. The Oregon Public Heath Division reports that more than 600 individuals have taken the dose, while the remainder either decided against using the prescription, or succumbed to their diagnosed illness.
In Oregon and Washington, patients must first make two requests of their doctor for medication, fifteen days apart. The patient then has to make the request in writing. In order to prevent potential abuses, patients are required to sign consent forms in the presence of two witnesses to whom they are not related. Once approved, patients must self-administer the drugs. Typically, it's a deadly dose of Seconal, a barbiturate often prescribed by doctors to treat insomnia or to calm patients before surgery. The contents of the capsules are stirred into a glass of water or a serving of applesauce, to dull the taste. Statistics compiled and released annually by the Oregon Department of Health show that in the majority of cases, people lose consciousness within five minutes of swallowing the drugs. It can take anywhere between one minute and four days to die, but for most people death comes in just 25 minutes.
Ninety-eight percent of people who have made use of the law in Oregon are white. Eighty-one percent had cancer. Fifty-two percent were men. The median age of those who died using the law was 71. Most patients were enrolled in hospice and privately insured. They cited loss of autonomy, loss of dignity and the fact that they were "less able to engage in activities making life enjoyable" as the top three end-of-life concerns. In Washington State, where a Death with Dignity Act was approved by ballot initiative in 2008, and went into effect the following year, patients fit a similar profile. According to the latest figures released by the state, 135 people have died from the lethal prescription. The Death with Dignity Act that will go before Massachusetts's voters this fall is modeled after laws in place in Oregon and Washington.
A survey conducted in May by Western New England Polling Institute showed that 60 percent of Massachusetts's voters supported the rights of terminally ill patients to legally obtain and ingest life-ending drugs. Still, the measure faces tough challenges from powerful factions within and beyond the state. The Massachusetts Medical Society opposes the Act. The American Medical Association does too. "Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as a healer," the AMA states in its Code of Medical Ethics. "Patients should not be abandoned once it is determined that cure is impossible."
Disability-rights activists have also spoken out against physician-assisted suicide. So has the Catholic Church. Noting a resurgence of interest in the topic and a renewed push by advocates of physician-assisted suicide to extend the practice beyond Oregon and Washington, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops last year issued an impassioned statement against the practice. In Massachusetts, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, anticipating the ballot measure, created a website, suicideisalwaysatragedy.org. "Our society will be judged by how we treat those who are ill and infirm," Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Sean O'Malley, says in a video address that appears on the site. "They need our care and protection, not lethal drugs."
But it's the people of Massachusetts who will ultimately decide the law's fate, not religious leaders, lawmakers or medical professionals. Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor of Massachusetts Medical Society's New England Journal of Medicine, and one of the Act's lead sponsors, puts little stock in what physicians have to say about the matter.
"I am less concerned with what doctors want than with what patients want," Angell said in an interview that aired on WGBH, in Boston. She continued, "I think doctors sometimes have a too-narrow idea of what their own obligations are. They feel they have an obligation to extend life even when it can't be extended significantly. And even if you have that situation, then it seems to me they have two obligations. One is to support the autonomy, the self-determination of their patients. And the other is to relieve suffering. If you can't extend life significantly, then you must relieve suffering."
A study released by the Health Research and Education Trust shows that Americans are living longer lives than ever before. As a result, more individuals and families will face difficult questions about end-of-life care. In 2011, the oldest Baby Boomers turned 65. By 2030, the number of Boomers between 66 and 84 years old will climb to 61 million, and six out of 10 will be managing chronic health conditions. For the elderly and others facing terminal illness, doctors have numerous ways to prolong life. Palliative and hospice care are available to help patients find peace and comfort in their final days. But there are some people who want another option, which is the right to end suffering by taking their own life at a time and place of their choosing.

It is no wonder that some 1.3 million people walk Dun Laoghaire's East Pier every year, passing jangling masts and an elegant bandstand en route to the 19th-century battery at the harbour mouth. It's tradition to touch (or kick!) the wall here before turning back, and remember that the pier is a mile long, so you can fully justify that ice-cream cone at Teddy's afterwards

Doesn't this make anyone think and wonder if CCW is even worth it?
1. Some have not carefully thought about the aftermath and all the possible consequences (emotional, mental, financial)
2. Some have not realized the system is tilted in favor of protecting the rights of the criminal (Im not implying that Martin was one)
3. Some have not drawn that line and conditioned themselves on what is worth taking an armed stand. The cost can be death, life in prison, disabling and/or permanent injury, financial ruin, etc. The life of a family member is worth those for me; all else, not so much.
If this thread pushes those that have not considered all the possible consequences to carefully evaluate them and incorporate that knowledge into their SD plan, then it is a very good thread.
We are armed, it is not just the criminal that poses a potential danger to our loved ones, if we dont have a plan and some training so do we. We must develop plans that involve those we love, even those that dont carry, so they know to get out of the line of fire if there is a home invasion or a robbery/attack while out and about. There should be a rehearsed sign that when used family would know to step away as it is very likely the one to introduce a firearm in defense of the others will see incoming fire. Research and teach others basic first aid, slowing down blood loss for a minute or two can be the difference between life or death when EMTs are on the way.
Even if all goes as favorable as it possibly can, it is likely to be chaotic.

1848 Portola Ave, Livermore, CA | Directions 9455137.691294 -121.774618
Fri-Sat 5pm -9pm. All Events.
Great Food at a Great Price – Try the prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes they are great. If you want a quite evening (great place to take a date) then go here. The meal was fantastic and I will be going back for again and again. The only reason why this place seems empty is becasue the building is hidden but just look for it across from the Rock House and you'll find it. Currently they are open only Fridays & Saturdays. The web site listed on the review is wrong... visit livermorecastlerock (dot com) to see a menu and pictures.
Really, really bad – What an unfortunate waste. The place was empty except for three other couples, and they crammed us all in to four tables in front of a fire place. So much for intimate conversation. We ordered a bottle of wine and were shown the bottle but then the server simply opened it and poured two glasses - no sample or test! then my husband got his salad that went with his meal before we got our appetizer (stay far, far away from the pesto chicken bruschetta), and my seafood linquini was literally swimming - and I do mean floating - on a 1/4-inch thick bowl of grease. All I could do was skim the pasta off the top and leave more than half the dish to drown in the grease. My husband's salmon was totally devoid of flavor. Go next door to the sports bar instead - you'll be happier.
Quite Disappointing! – I went to Castle Rock based on the two good reviews on this site. It was a HUGE mistake. The food was horrible. I got the halibut, and it tasted nothing like halibut. When the waiter brought my dish to the table, it smelled horrible, and tasted even worse. My husband ordered the rib eye...it had tons of fat, and was extremely undercooked. He ordered it medium rare, and it was very rare, and dry...which is hard to do, but they managed to do it. It definitely wasn't a $25 piece of meat. The only good thing about our meal was the pasta that my 2-year-old got, which tasted decent, and was only $5.
The restaurant itself was nice inside. It looked very upscale, but was deserted. We were the only ones in the restaurant, so much so that every word either one of my kids said seemed to echo.
We spent $80 on the worst meal I've ever had in a restaurant...that's $80 for just entrees and soda...no appetizer, no wine, no dessert. Definitely not worth the high price of the food!
Unique treasure off the beaten path – I find Sophie's review amusing. I could not be more at odds with the use of description (and spelling). My experience was as a result of our inabilty to be seated at our reservation time at a local well known restaurant in the area. I have driven by this quaint building and had often planned to dine there, but somehow I always opted for the corporate chain restaurants. Our dining experience was lovely! We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened for the evening, and per our gracious waitress, was informed that often, guests arrive later in the evening as a rule. The food was terrific! The prime rib is served exactly to order and this coupled with the freshly sauteed vegatables and mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic was more than adequate! Even better was the fact that on Friday and Saturday, it is offered at a reduced price. I love the charming and cozy atmosphere nestled within a true Livermore landmark. The service was genuine and attentive and I was equally pleased to see that our local wineries were represented in the wine offerings. Even though the Castle Rock may appear like a "suit and tie" establishment, guests are welcomed in shorts and tennis shoes without a blink. We now make it part of our family routine to visit as often as we can.
Really Great! – Castle Rock is a wonderful restaurant with really great food. I'm surprised most people in Livermore don't know about it, but the person that said it wasn't exciting enough for them, well that's probably why it's not jammed packed every night. I mean what do you expect out of a restaurant? Goto Fridays or Applebees if that's the kind place you're looking for. The food is absolutey terrific and very refined. The service is great, and the building is beautiful.
The owner's family built that place out of rock they found all over the world. Inside, the place is filled with airlooms and antiques. It's like no other place in Livermore.
It's very peaceful and quiet inside. You won't be bother by loud tables or obnoxious music.
I encourage people to goto Castle Rock. It's Livermore history!
for the price your dont go – Way over cost for what you get. a very plane restruant. only two others were in the place. no mood no up scale anything. Help livermore get a nice place. at a good price. this cost way to much for what you did not get

Castrate them
Three Navy football players will be charged in rape case
Three Navy football players will be charged with rape after officials completed their investigation of a female midshipman's report she was sexually assaulted by the three players last year, reports Military.com.
The alleged assault occurred in April 2012 at an off-campus house in Annapolis. According to the female's lawyer, the woman woke up with bruises after drinking heavily one night and learned from friends and social media later that three football players — whom she considered friends — were claiming to have had sex with her while she was intoxicated and blacked out.
All three players remain at the Naval Academy including a senior who was kept from graduating May 24 with the rest of his class. And all three were allowed to play football during the 2012 season.
More from Military.com:
The three players have not been named by the Naval Academy as the Navy has yet to complete the official charge sheet. However, the Naval Academy issued a statement Monday confirming that Superintendent Michael Miller has chosen to send the case to Article 32 proceedings.
Naval Academy spokesman Cmdr. John Schofield confirmed that all three football players will face an Article 32 hearing, which requires charges be issued against all three.
Castrate them
I guess all men should carry a breathalyzer with them to parties... maybe call it foreplay... so they don't get charged in cases like these. Not defending rape or abusing women, just understanding that I have been around intoxicated women who were very flirtatious and the next day they didn't have a clue. The postings of others is what made the woman upset, and the fact is that she didn't report it as a rape, someone else heard the story and reported it.
@Cool A woman that can't say 'Yes' is saying 'no'. Go by that rule.
@Rickapolis I agree completely with what you said. My point is pretty simple.. this women may have very well said yes.. and by her own admission she doesn't know if she did or not. If I have been drinking, and a woman has been drinking, there are two parties with limited thought process abilities.. If one drunk says yes to the other drunk, then you can't expect only one drunk to be held accountable for the actions.
Not only didn't she report it as a rape, when an investigation was started she refused to cooperate with the NCIS for many months.
What the hell is with the picture for this story!?
Stating the obvious here: sexual assault is a crime. Only slightly less bad? A female midshipmen getting intoxicated and blacking out in a party. Perhaps, wisdom at the naval academy is as stunning as the effectiveness of their wishbone offense?
Are you kidding? Showing a picture of cheers under the heading of players charged with rape..not to appropriate.
Hang them from a yardarm
I see they changed the original picture of cadets cheering to this..About time.
Unfortunately, sex-crime against service-women in our armed forces has been utterly rampant in the last decade. It's actually really and truly a huge issue, and one that's not been appropriately reported in the media (not to the high-profile extent it warrants).
I realize these guys are innocent until proven guilty, but suffice it to say that this headline doesn't surprise me in the least, considering what else I know. Maybe now the issue will start getting proper coverage in the media.
I love how people are already convicting these guys when a trial hasn't even taken place. They deserve their time in court like anyone else. If there is solid evidence, convict them. That's how it works, not matter what the crime. People seem to forget that.
Can't assume they are guilty. Remember the Duke lacrosse players... If they are guilty though, send em away a long time.
@Yanks2009 Those charges were brought by a prostitute running a con, this is a female cadet at Annapolis.
They HAVE to put an end to sexual 'misconduct', an euphemism for rape. Tried, and if guilty sent to prison. Military or civilian, I don't care. We have to show that is intolerable, and unacceptable behavior. A nation that allows half it's citizens to be attacked with virtual impunity is a very poor nation indeed.
is that picture maybe a little offside?
Cut off their schmecks and hang em by the Academy's Front Gate.
hang em
Is they 3 Leoroy's
All three were allowed to play football last season? Looking forward to the Academy explaining that decision.
That's easy to explain. For months the alleged victim refused to cooperate with NCIS in the investigation, so they shut it down. Not until the past two months has she changed her tune and decided to cooperate.
That refusal to cooperate will not be a point in her favor at the trial. I assume the defense will be that the sex was consensual, and her refusal to cooperate in the investigation will be viewed as consistent with that.
@iclasticons - When were the allegations made? The article was misleading stating the incident occurred in April but they were allowed to play footaball that same year.
@iclasticons You don't know the half of it. The armed forces have a terrible track record in regard to investigating and punishing sex-crime amongst their ranks.
@leehwgoc @iclasticons Lets also point out that American Justice is based on innocent until proven guilty. I see you automatically found them guilty.
The alleged assault occurred in April 2012 its over a year to investigate...........What is the Navy waiting for
@RobertJacke For football season to be over.
Your ignorance of the case is showing and given how little the article actually says, one would think you would go find out before making a fool of yourself an posting on something you know zero about.
The investigation was shut down for months while the alleged victim repeatedly refused to cooperate with NCIS. Simply put, no testimony from her that it was rape and not consensual, no case. Not until the past two months has she changed her tune and decided to cooperate.

Austin >Insurance Services > Farmers Insurance - Alycen Delrie Agency
8700 Manchaca Rd Bldg 8 Unit 805, Austin, TX | Directions 7874830.184886 -97.817204
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
Framers Insurance in Austin – Alycen Delrie is a fantastic insurance agent. To be perfectly clear, she's very knowledgeable about all facets of insurance that Farmers provides and she's honest. That's about all you could ask for. She's great.
Best Agent...... – Alycen is one of the most dependable and professional insurance agents I have ever dealt with. Her follow up is amazing and she is WONDERFUL at what she does. Very over the top type of person.
restore the confidence – It was quite an ordeal when we found out our agent had simply gone left Farmer's and what made it worse, no one called to let us know that had happened. Our confidence in Farmer's had really taken a shift. We weren't really sure if we had to look for another company, another agent that we didn't feel comfortable with...but somehow after some bumps and bruises we were referred to Alycen and we must say, her personal attention to our situation was very comforting.
A-plus Service – I was looking for a more economic insurance, for car and home. I checked the web for a number of Austin brokers. I focused on companies I had some knowledge of as opposed to some of the "brand X" companies. I received quotes from everyone I contacted on-line. They ranged from the crazy to the sublime. When I called to follow up, some were responsive and some not.
However I heard from Rae Hernandez who listened to what I wanted and then called back with a quote, followed up by an email. The quote was half what I haad been paying before, but with better coverage. Ms. Hernandez was a delight to work with and I have recommended this agency to several of my friends, one of whom contaced the agency and had a similiar experience to mine.
Friendly and Efficient – Alycen was recommended to me by a friend from church, as he's been her agent for several years. Thankfully, I haven't had cause to file a claim, but all of my dealings with Alycen in setting up my homeowner policy and auto insurance have been pleasant. I feel respected as an individual; she and the rest of the office staff at her agency have proven to be considerate of my time and work to find the best coverage at the most reasonable price.
Very detailed oriented! – I have known Alycen since she opened her agency and she is one of the best. She knows insurance so you don't have to...her attention to detail is unmatched. She will put you at ease and help you get the right coverages at the right price! You should not hesitate for a second to do business with her agency because you will be well taken care of.
Alycen is kind, intelligent, and knowledgeable – I first met Alycen because of a flier in my mail. Anyway, I can tell that she LOVES what she does. She's just a great person all around. She is my insurance hero! Ray is in the front office and she's also really awesome.
I have now referred others to her and she even took the time to thank me. She really listens to people and is very knowledgeable about what she does. She truly is my insurance superhero...able to insure buildings with a single bound! ha. Grant
Polite and professional – I was looking for renters insurance close to my neighborhood...a quick google search led me to Alycen's agency and 18 great reviews...easy decision...stopped by and sure enough....Raye in the front office was sweet, helpful, pleasant and Alycen stepped in an introduced herself...couldn't have been easier...even processed and set up my payments through my credit union on the computer...it would be wonderful if all of my daily business encounters and chores could be this nice...
Alycen has been handling my insurance for years. She also handles my parents. She takes the time to provide personal care to each of her customers. There are no dumb questions or small tasks. She really cares about her customers and has always gone the extra mile for my family.
Auto Insurance – I've had Farmers Insurance for years, I transferred my auto and renters insurance business to Alycen Delrie Agency when I moved to Austin. Never have I regret it, her agency provides excellent, professional service, prompt, courteous and she knows the business.

Thor's legendary hammer rendered in fine pewter with a nickel-free silver tone chain. Solid and heavy - truly a piece fit for a God.Product Code: AG-P338 - Ask a Queston About This Item
|Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, traditionally 85–99% tin, with the remainder consisting of copper and other metals. It has a low melting point and is very easy to cast in molds. It has been used since ancient times for everything from jewelry to table wear and was once called the "poor mans silver". Generally pewter has a grayish/silver semi-dull finish, though this varies depending on the metals combined with the tin and can be colored black or other shades or plated with gold or silver. All our pewter pieces are lead and nickel free. Pewter is generally hypo-allergenic and will not tarnish or react in most conditions. Note it can break or crack if flexed multiple times and rings cannot be re-sized, though interior ring springs or other adjusters might be used.

Festivals: Venice (In Competition), Toronto, 1992. U.S., 1993
Fleeing through the centuries, Virginia Woolf's Orlando was a boy-girl on the run from sexual predestination. Changing gender as she careered through 400 years of English history, 'he' became 'she' partly in chameleon response to a new Enlightenment, partly for the intuitive hell (or heaven) or it...
Sally Potter's film of Orlando keeps the flickery serenity of the original. The changing tableaux, like animated lantern sides, shuttle us through the changing eras: Tudor England (Quentin Crisp as Queen Bess), Augustan tea parties (Ned Sherrin as Dr. Johnson), Victorian romance (Billy Zane as Byronic heartthrob, plus billowing shirt and black locks) to a 20th century of world war, pregnancy, free love and dawning feminism... Swinton flings verbal asides and mini monologues boldly at the camera... Though each ensuing time-hop makes its social, cultural or gender-political point, from the male chauvinist clubbiness of the Augustan salons to the vaporous romanticism of Victorian times, nothing is laboured.
Potter's hurry-on direction and Swinton's sphinx like ethereality as a presence mean we seque into the next historical encounter before the ink is dry on the last one... The film's final scene, which could have been daft, instead defines and seals the film's style... It sounds winsome and preachy. Instead it is light, lithe and deliciously self-ironising. - Nigel Andrews, Financial Times, 11/3/93
