If you are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind or Speech Disabled, or if you wish to contact members of our faculty and staff who are, you may do so by utilizing the WISCONSIN TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SYSTEM™.
The State of Wisconsin guarantees all citizens access to convenient, reliable options and services that enable them to communicate by telephone. The service works by providing a "link" between text telephone users and conventional telephone users. Callers can access the relay 24 hours a day through either a toll free number or by dialing 711. Operators process calls by voicing everything the text telephone user types and typing everything they hear from the conventional telephone user.
How do I connect to WTRS?
There are now several options available to connect to the Wisconsin Relay System. Dial 7-1-1 from any phone in Wisconsin or the appropriate WTRS toll-free number below to connect to the Wisconsin Relay System. Give the operator the area code and number you want to call. During a relay call, the operator will voice everything typed by the TTY user and type everything said by the telephone user.
TO PLACE SUCH A CALL FROM THE UW-RICHLAND CAMPUS, you must call one of the toll free numbers below corresponding to your call type. Conversely, from most public or residential phones, you may simply dial 711.
- Voice: 1-800-947-6644
- Fast ASCII: 1-800-267-8867
- Speech to Speech: 1-800-833-7637
- Spanish to Spanish: 1-800-833-7813
Pay Phone Calls Using Relay Service
Local calls placed from a pay telephone though relay are free of charge. People who use a pay telephone to make long distance calls through relay must give the operator a way to bill the call (examples: calling card or collect call). Coins cannot be used to pay for a long distance relay call from a pay phone.

I love this book. Corn and Capitalism: How a botanical bastard grew to global dominance is a fantastically interesting read by Arturo Warman. I highly recommend it.
(I should note, that Michael Pollan calls it an "indispensable book… on the history of corn" pg 418, The Omnivore's Dilemma.)
I took two pages of notes, of stuff I want to further investigate, such as, "Great Grain Robbery – 1972, USSR buys 30 million tons of grain"…"Ron Reagan boast not pay taxes on ranch" (pg 195), USA destroyed food reserves during Great Depression (pg 195), British coerced corn planting in Malwai (pg 79), most imported slaves went to Brazil, not USA, (pg 54)…. LOTS of stuff.
Warman doesn't solely talk about corn, other plants, history is thrown in, corn is not the answer to the question of history. (Unlike Cod, History of World in 6 Glasses, Potato,…these type of books seem a bit cheesy in over-playing the significance of their topic.) Possibly, because Warman is an actual historian, and not a journalist.
Corn was adopted by so many cultures because it works. It is versatile, has great yield, easy to store, easy to be used as feed, or turned into alcohol.
One thing that I am thinking about, how does one get plain old, generic corn. Currently, seed companies have genetically engineered corn that has great yield, but won't breed true. Meaning, if you keep the seeds, the yield next year will only be a fraction of what it had been, so, growers have to keep going back to company for seed. It wasn't always that way. I would think that corn, without a trade mark, could be in the public domain, the Americas gift to civilization. I'm sure the corn I have in my backyard, the genetics are owned. If I save seeds, no one will care. But, if I gave seeds away, on an industrial scale, to poor folk … I'm sure Ferry Morse will send their lawyers. True, the poor folk wouldn't get the yield that rich folk get, but, the seed would be free.
well…I'll just leave with two quotes:
"Corn, the main staple of the African slave trade, became the mainstay for armed mobilization and military expansion of secondary empires in nineteenth-century Africa…" pg 68
"Corn generated wealth for landowners, shopkeepers and moneylenders, overlords, and the new middle class. Ironically, most of those who stood to gain the most from corn never even ate it. They ate wheat instead. Corn was a commodity with an unlimited market: that of the poor, who made up the vast majority on a continent that was bracing itself for the coming modern capitalism." (pg 131)

President Bush is far from the sole object of Americans' disapproval. In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, the approval rating of the U.S. Congress has dipped to 28 percent, below President Bush's current, career-low, mark of 33.

Gordon Brown and David Miliband were last night drawn directly into the furore over the release of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing when it emerged that Britain told Tripoli that the prime minister and foreign secretary did not want to see him die in prison.
In a major setback for Downing Street, which has insisted the release was entirely a matter for Edinburgh, it emerged that a Foreign Office minister intervened last February to make clear to Libya that Brown and Miliband hoped Abdelbaset al-Megrahi would not "pass away" in prison.
Amid warnings from Tripoli that allowing Megrahi to die in prison would amount to a "death sentence", Bill Rammell, then a Foreign Office minister, passed the message to Abdulati Alobidi, Libya's Europe minister, during a meeting in Tripoli.
His intervention was revealed yesterday in a note of a meeting which took place in Glasgow in March between Scottish officials and Alobidi. The note disclosed that the Libyan minister had said: "Mr Rammell had stated that neither the prime minister nor the foreign secretary would want Mr Megrahi to pass away in prison but the decision on transfer lies in the hands of Scottish ministers."
The disclosure that the prime minister had expressed a view on the release of Megrahi, which emerged when the British and Scottish governments released a series of documents relating to the release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber, will be a severe blow to Brown. The prime minister has insisted that the British government had no involvement in the release of Megrahi, who was sent home on compassionate grounds by the Scottish justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, last month.
In a sign of ministerial unease, it took Rammell almost two hours yesterday afternoon to respond to the publication of his reported remarks. Rammell, now a defence minister, made no attempt to deny his intervention when he released a brief statement which reiterated the British position that Megrahi's status was a matter for the Scottish authorities.
"Neither the Libyans nor the Scottish executive were left in any doubt throughout this entire process that this was a decision for the Scottish executive over which the UK government sought no influence," Rammell said. "I made it clear in all my dealings with the Libyans that the decision around Megrahi was exclusively one for the Scottish executive."
Later Rammell told the BBC he had conveyed Brown's feelings to the Libyans: "I did say that. But we need to put it in context. I was making it emphatically clear that this was a decision for Scottish ministers."
The documents also show Libya promised Megrahi would receive a low key homecoming. Scottish government notes of a meeting with Alobidi said: "Mr Alobidi said he would like to take this opportunity to assure the Scottish government that if Mr al-Megrahi were to be transferred to Libya that it would be done quietly and peacefully and away from the glare of the media. He noted that he understood such a transfer would need to be treated sensitively."
David Cameron last night seized on Rammell's intervention to demand a public inquiry into the release of Megrahi, claiming that Brown now stands accused of double dealing. He said: "For weeks [Brown] has been refusing to say publicly what he wanted to happen to Megrahi. Yet we learn, apparently, privately the message was being given to the Libyans that he should be released.
"I don't think we can now trust the government to get to the bottom of this so I think the time has come for an independent inquiry led by a former permanent secretary or former judge to find out what more papers need to be released so we can see what the British government was doing in our name."
The release of such a sensitive document by the Scottish government was designed to turn the spotlight on Brown as the SNP deals with the greatest crisis since it took power in Edinburgh in 2007.
The SNP is expected to lose a vote today on the Megrahi release in the Scottish parliament as Labour, the Tories and Liberal Democrats – emboldened by the US opposition to the release – mount their most serious challenge to the Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond. Angus Robertson, the SNP leader at Westminster, said: "With the report of Bill Rammell's claim that neither Gordon Brown nor David Miliband wanted Megrahi to die in a Scottish jail, it seems the UK government were bending over backwards to show Libya they had no objection to Megrahi's release – which drives a coach and horses through Labour's position in Scotland."
The documents show Libya placed intense pressure on London and Edinburgh to release Megrahi. At one point Alobidi warned: "Death in custody would be akin to a death sentence without the benefit of the court and that 'they want a way out'."
No comment was forthcoming on the publication of the exchanges between the British and Scottish governments, a further sign Libya wants to draw a line under the controversy. Megrahi's health, meanwhile, is said to be deteriorating fast. The head of Libya's state information agency, Majid al-Dursi, described him as "very sick".
The papers released yesterday reveal that Scottish ministers were secretly told by the Libyans in January – far earlier than previously thought – that Megrahi might drop his appeal, which threatened to reveal damaging information about the police investigation into the bombing.
Megrahi dropped his appeal two days before MacAskill announced he would be freed, claiming he believed it would assist his release – a disclosure which has raised suspicions of a deal between Scottish and Libyan ministers. Those claims have been repeatedly denied by Scottish ministers.

A few of you asked if I bought anything at the shop I showed you yesterday. No, I didn't because I have been trying to cut down on my spending. I have made a few small purchases though. These little bunnies above came from a thrift store. They were $2.99 each and I just had to have them. They have a "Made in Japan" sticker on the bottom so I'm thinking they are probably from the 1960s or older. Lauren called me at work yesterday, she had just noticed them sitting up on the shelf with my chintz and she said they were scary looking with their pink eyes! I think they are cute! I'll probably put them away until Easter though.
This planter above I bought at a vintage shop that was having a big close out sale and I think I got this for $7.00. I love all those roses!
After seeing Carolyn's beautiful green picnic basket I knew I wanted to find one to paint also. I lucked out and found this one for only $5.00 at the first thrift store I went to. I've already painted it but haven't had a chance to take a photo of it yet so I'll show you that next week!
I found this to add to my Christmas Village collection. I have a few Dept. 56 pieces and some cheaper ones. This one is marked Dickens Collectibles on the bottom but I'm not sure if it is a Dept. 56 piece or not. Mine are packed away so I can't compare the marks on the bottom. It doesn't really matter if it is or not, I still like it and for $5.00 it was a great deal!

I have the rabbit that is standing upright! I've had it since I was a kid. I'm 52 years old, so you are probably about right on the age of it. I don't know how old I was when I got it but I loved it and kept it.

I also have the same bunnies. My mom bought them for me when I was a teenager so I've had them for years and years and years too. She also bought me a set of little yellow chicks that I also put out at Easter. They look great. You have some wonderful finds! I love the Dickens Collectible. My BFF started me on a Dickens collection this past Christmas. They are all beautiful and you got an incredible buy!!

Hi- I'm new!
Love the bunnies.
They were in my Easter basket in 1962. They survived many moves until they were broken in (what I hope) my last move in 1999. I would definately buy a set if I ran into them again!
I love cottages & the cottage decorating style. It's just simple, clean living....

The Wedding, based on the one-act play A Respectable Wedding by Bertolt Brecht, has been produced together with the young actors, former students of Koršunovas, who have only recently completed their Bachelor's studies at the Lithuanian Academy of Music.
UNDER ICE (dir. Arturas Areima) at Fringe Festival (4 stars review)
Lithuanian director Arturas Areima mounts an adaptation of Falk Richter's play of the same name, Under Ice. If these names ring obscure, fear not: know that Areima is a brilliant director with a spirited cast of performers and Richter's words manage to make an impact.
A few impressions of "Cleansed", the latest production of O. Koršunovas
The latest production of Oskaras Koršunovas, "Cleansed", based on the play of the same name by S. Kane surprises not so much with its violence or brutality, the topic most commonly discussed in reviews of the play's work-in-progress, but with the courage and depth of the issues it raises. The viewer is forced to restructure what for centuries was fundamentally considered a European identity.
"Cleansed" by Oskaras Koršunovas – in Love and Dirt
The goal of the play was not to tell a coherent story, but to spit out the inner dirt from the darkest depths of the soul and ask questions about the internal filth of each spectator – hence the name of the play. Or, rather, it is about radical defilement in order to become clean.
Post-mortem of an entertainment theater – OKT "Cleansed"
The era that OKT once bypassed caught up with its children – the young generation of actors who chose this play themselves. And although I'm always a bit nervous when I go to see plays created by young actors, I will steal thunder from other skeptics – no other generation of actors could ever give such a sensitive rendition of "Cleansed".
OKT's Hamlet is back with its touches of genius
Few in China had heard of Oskaras Korsunovas Theater, or OKT in short, when the Lithuanian troupe first presented Hamlet as part of the mammoth Theater Olympics festival in late 2014 in Beijing.
Oskaras Koršunovas: tear down the walls for the sake of the theater of ruthless truth
In "Hamlet" we were invited to ask ourselves the question "Who are you?" Who are you as an actor, who you are as a character, who you are as a spectator? The question asked over and over again, sounding louder and louder, becomes the prologue of the tragedy by Shakespeare, taking us to the time before the beginning of the play, when the actor prepares for his role in the make-up room, that place of transformation and self-creation where an existence and a semblance merge and double.

If ever I could type out a large sigh effectively, I would.
Goddammit, man. I mean, come on, ABC. You sent your camera crews and reporters down there to take a picture of a piece of shit?
This fourth entry in the apparently ongoing series of images appearing in things really can't sink any lower. You would think the Virgin Mary would find better things to appear in than bird shit, but apparently the bird shit has meaning now. This is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, folks. It's just some oval-like image that looks similar to another oval-like image of the Virgin Mary (there are thousands of paintings and drawings of the Virgin Mary, but they found one that looks close and went with it, I guess, not to mention thousands of obscure oval images).
What does one get out of this? Is it supposed to confirm her existance or perhaps it confirms the devine qualities of pices of random shit that an animal craps out. I think I mentioned in my Part 3 blog that it was only a matter of time before someone saw an image in a piece of shit...well here it is. I said that sarcastically and lo-and-behold look what was in the news recently. I don't plan these things out, newscasters constantly report it and I feel the need to point it out and say "stop it."
Seeing as how I apparently predicted this, I'll throw out another random thing someone will claim to see an image in...grasping....hold on....ok, the image of Ernest Borgnine will appear in a cigarette rug burn in Alabama.

Meet Caitlyn Jenner! The former Bruce Jenner premieres on "Vanity Fair" cover
Bruce Jenner was a famously gorgeous man – those of us who grew up in the 70s and stared at that face on the Wheaties box can tell you true – so it stands to reason that Caitlyn, as the Olympic medalist is now known, would be gorgeous as well. After a well-rated interview with Diane Sawyer, Jenner underwent procedures including facial surgery, breast implants and hair removal , the result of which is the pinup you see above on the cover of Vanity Fair, photographed by Annie Leibovitz.
Caitlyn told the story of her transition to writer Buzz Bissinger ("Friday Night Lights") for the upcoming July issue. According to a press release, she tells Bissinger "If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, 'You just blew your entire life.'

The chef Un-Hui Filomeno, right, who earned a large fan base at the Albany restaurants Avenue A and, before that, The Ginger Man, is developing a new restaurant called Mingle, projected to open in November at the former Avenue A location at 544 Delaware Ave. She will be chef-owner, in partnership with her son, Jose, and a single investor. The team is buying the building, most recently home to the former Wine 'n' Diner, which closed in June.
The Filomenos tell me Mingle will feature Avenue A favorites including lobster mac-n-cheese but will have an expanded selection of food from Un-Hui's native Korea. On Mondays and Tuesdays, when Jose will be cooking, the daily specials will showcase foods that are variously organic, raw, gluten-free and vegan. The restaurant's name, inspired by the sense of "mingle" that suggests a diverse blend, was chosen to reflect the eclectic influences of the family and their customers, Jose tells me.
Work is being done on the interior of the space to dampen the perennial noise problem that plagued Avenue A and Wine 'n' Diner, Jose says. There will be a full bar and lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. I should have preview photos and a preliminary menu in the coming weeks.
After Avenue A closed abruptly, two years ago this week, Un-Hui worked at Sage Bistro in Guilderland from its founding, in October of 2010, until March.

The chicks who work at Cathy Jean in the state of Georgia hate me. I mean, LITERALLY hate me. I have been calling every store in Georgia for the past three weeks looking for these boots in brown....
They look terrible in black, so I don't expect any of you to love them like I do right now. However, they are sold out of brown everywhere. Online, in stores etc. So now I'm on the hunt for some that look just like them.
I found these on Aldo for the same price, but they just don't make my heart sing like the other ones.
I also found these on Steve Madden, but they are TWICE the price. If the Cathy Jean shipment that comes in today at 2pm doesn't have my brown shoes, I'm going to have to buy these. I NEED them. Desperately.

An introduction to Chinese culture has opened a door to global experience for students at South Carolina University this semester. Two introductory classes in Mandarin Chinese have moved the university a step closer to offering a degree in foreign languages, says Dr. Joyce Blackwell, vice president for academic affairs.
The new classes are part of the university's larger goal of providing a more global experience for students, she said.
"With today's ... global economy, as you know, China is playing a major role in terms of trade with various countries," Blackwell said.
"It's likely that many S.C. State students will begin to form some kind of relationship with some of the Chinese cities or industries."
Professor Jui-Ling Chiang, a native of Taiwan, is teaching both courses in Mandarin Chinese, one on the official language spoken at the United Nations and the other used for all legal documents in China.
Learning the language is more than memorization, Chiang said. The first thing she has her students do is listen to the sound and then go on to the tone of the language, she said. One word may have a number of meanings by the way it's accented, said Chiang, adding that she uses "performance culture" to see that her students give a good impression when talking to the Chinese people they meet.
She will teach the culture and body language that goes with the dialogue, Chiang said. She said the student's words must match their actions, such as when they're giving a gift to someone or when they're introducing people.
Chiang wants her students to appear knowledgeable and "at home" if they visit China.
"It's one thing to speak the language and to appear as an American ... all of a sudden, you've got that person pegged as an outsider and (people think) they're not being sensitive to the culture," she said.
Her students need to be able to build relationships with the people they meet, she said.
"For me, it's to see that they speak it with the right timing with the performance ... that they are not standing like a student. I correct them in a way that Chinese people will think, 'Hmmm - these people know something,'" Chiang said.
Although Mandarin is the official language of China, many of Chiang's people still speak Taiwanese, she said. She said she spoke it herself until she began kindergarten, where she learned Mandarin.
Chiang said two factors encouraged her to come to S.C. State.
"The initials were the same as my first school, St. Cloud State University ... I thought it was a good sign," she said.
A more serious interest also encouraged her to come to S.C. State, Chiang said.
St. Cloud was almost all white, but she'd come to the U.S. to interact with different ethnic groups of people, she said. At S.C. State, 96 percent of students are African American, and she sent inquiries to the university about working there.
"When I found out they were interested ... I thought, like, 'Wow!' It is to me a great opportunity. I was so excited ... I like to interact with different people," she said.
Chiang grew up in Taiwan and came to the U.S. to study the language and culture. She attended St. Cloud State University in Minnesota from 2003-04 and earned a master's degree dealing with training and learning. She was a private tutor before coming to S.C. State this summer.
Living in Orangeburg reminds her of Taiwan, Chiang says.
The weather is much the same, hot and humid, and the people here are also courteous like they are in Taiwan, she said.
"I'm not used to that in the North," she said. "In Orangeburg, they say "ma'am, Miss, Doctor . . . I think it's neat to show respect to people," Chiang said. "This is similar to Taiwan. They call people by their address and last name. I think that makes me feel I can fit into the culture quite well."
Dr. Ghussan Greene, department chair of Communications and Languages at S.C. State, reports Chinese is one of five languages designated by the federal government as critical to national security. Because of that, the government will provide "seed money" for schools and districts that are willing to teach it, she said.
Statewide, only 10 public schools teach Chinese, but that is up from none just five years ago, according to Greene. Ruta Couet, who oversees foreign language programs for the S.C. Department of Education, says interest in the Chinese language is a recent phenomenon that can be attributed to the growing economic force China has become.

My father, Max Feldt, stood 6' 3" with a personality so big (and the towns we lived in so small) that the postal service once delivered a letter to me addressed only: "To the eldest daughter of Big Max, Stamford, Texas."
Family lore says he roared, "Who said I wanted a boy?" when reminded that prior to my birth he'd boasted HE was having a son. (No ultrasound back then, folks.)
Daddy was the dominant influence on my life -- eventually. It wasn't till I delivered his eulogy, when I was 50 years old, that I realized he had given me an entire philosophy of life and leadership.
He had many aphorisms I refer to as his Maxisms, including this all-purpose one he repeated to me on hundreds of occasions:
You can do anything your pretty little head desires.
He bought me an enormous electric train when I was three. It hissed and sparked as it chugged around the track that took up half the living room. As was typical, he never bothered to ask whether this would be inconvenient for anyone else -- it was good fun to him.
Maxism: That's why there are nine horses in every race.
He was known for being stubborn, and this is what he would say to those who didn't appreciate his point of view.
For example, he reveled in bringing home exciting things to share from his business trips: Broadway musical soundtracks to which we would sing and dance, interesting food like varicolored and flavored popcorn, salt water taffy unknown to landlocked Texans, and canned meals that heated themselves like prehistoric MREs.
He took me flying in his Beechcraft Bonanza on Sunday mornings and to the Post Office to get his Sunday New York Times that arrived on Wednesdays. This is why I've been reading the Times book reviews since I was five: it was the one section I could sort of understand. And he'd let me buy an Archie comic book to go with it -- if I asked.
Maxism: She who asks, gets.
Yes, he used female pronouns, a subtle boost to my self-esteem that I did not appreciate until I had children of both genders and the burgeoning second wave women's movement had raised my consciousness.
Daddy manufactured Western wear, so I grew up playing with fabrics, helping him select trims, and sketching out fancy yokes. I loved the oily smells and clacking sounds of the sewing machines. Mother ran the company office, but was quite traditional in thinking of herself as a helper rather than the partner she actually was. And in truth, Daddy dominated her and many others. "Max," she would say, "don't be obnoxious." But he often was.
Though not an activist, he had a sense of fairness and a healthy disregard for arbitrary social status that helped me traverse many challenges in my career, from the grassroots of a movement to the highest halls of power, without being intimidated.
Maxisms: I want to clothe the asses of the masses, not the select few.
Somebody has to look out for the little guy. Everyone puts his pants on one leg at a time.
He repeated cycles of business successes and failures. Yet he was a talented entrepreneur with vision and courage bigger than his size 13 yellow and green monogrammed cowboy boots. In his effects after he died, I found 50 copies of Theodore Roosevelt's famous quote:
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Maxism: There's nothing wrong with me a million dollars wouldn't cure.
This is the one that best expressed his resilience.
He never lost the ebullience that prompted him to buy a three-year-old girl an expensive electric train, not to mention that Beechcraft Bonanza airplane that prompted Mother to retaliate with the biggest shopping spree of her life.
Maxism: What are they going to do to you? They can't cook you and eat you.
He said this when he failed while "daring greatly." I have often seen my staff doubled up with laughter when I channel Daddy's irreverent philosophy about making mistakes. I mean, what IS the worst think that can happen if you try and fail? You always learn something.
I broke his heart when I married and left home at 15. But when my first child was born, he immediately drove three hours to see me and embraced his grandchild with unqualified love. When I decided to start college at 20 with three children in tow, who did I call to ask for the $100 community college tuition that was beyond our household budget? Big Max, of course.
He was visibly proud of my accomplishments. I doubt he thought of himself as a feminist when he drilled into me the notion that I could do anything I set my mind to. Like many fathers, he wanted his daughter to have opportunities, but didn't necessarily connect the personal with the political.
Nor did I at the time. His empowering advice conflicted with everything I saw at home and in society: my mother's deference, the culture's generally low aspirations for girls, the pervasive June Cleaver/Marilyn Monroe-and-nothing-in-between 1950s images of women.
And so I spent many years trying to fit that mold, before I broke it once I realized that my Daddy was right after all:
Sure enough, I really could do anything my pretty little head desired.

Dear Trey,
The website is indeed beautiful. However, the beautiful orange with the white backdrop makes it difficult to choose options from the drop down.For instance clicking on "productions" gives you a list to choose from however (UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS, ONGOING PRODUCTIONS) this list is unfortunately not very visible, not fully accessible and is further complicated by the quotes running across the page.
You may perhaps consider a less powerful orange or consider changing the font, size and colour of the available options (from the drop down).
You may think of putting the quotes running across the page directly beneath "Trey Anthony Studios" at the very top of the page so the tabs (who we are, productions, Trey's News) are more accessible, easily seen, undisturbed and more user friendly. That way the options the quotes are still very visible even more so from the top of the page.
Be Blessed......

When you delete files from your PC using Windows Recycle Bin, they don't really go away entirely. Instead, Windows just marks the files as erased and hides them from view until you eventually fill that drive space with something else. If you want to make sure your data is gone for good, use Eraser, a free and open-source file deletion utility that uses DoD-grade algorithms to repeatedly overwrite your deleted data until it's practically unrecoverable.

In summer 2002 I worked on a cool film called Screen Door Jesus. It's the story of a woman whose screen door is struck by lightning, leaving the image of Jesus burned into the screen. I play Ronette Wilkins, a bar-trash girl who's trying to blackmail the town's mayor. This movie was a blast, directed by Kirk Davis, one of the best directors I've worked with.
Among the awards already won by SDJ are Best Texas Film (2003 Deep Ellum Film Festival); Best Score (2003 Hamptons International Film Festival); Best Drama (New York International Film & Video Festival); Best Cinematography (2003 Hamptons International Film Festival); and Best Feature (2003 Hamptons International Film Festival).

Our plan to visit the farm this past week didn't quite work out. It rained! We had to pick up our Tote for Tots at the Center for Early Childhood Education. Since the center has lots of different activities and materials for parents and children to use, I decided to hold our lesson there.
We had some imaginative play to start with because the center bought some new cool helmets. I'm not sure what they were supposed to be, racecar driver?, but he used it as a super hero mask. Bobo initiated directional references by trying to find the "bad guy." First, he was behind me, then under the table, behind Bobo and inside the sandbox.
Each month, the center has a couple of craft projects they set out. We got the September project of making a fuzzy lamb, which just happens to go along with our Farm theme. I love when things work out like that! I set up some sheets for Do-A-Dots, while the lamb was drying. I had him fill in the dots of a ladybug. He liked it so much, we went through a whole Clifford The Big Red Dog pamphlet. His favorite was dotting Mary Elizabeth. She had different emotions, so we worked on happy, sad and silly.
Bobo loves to make tracks out of anything. The center has some cool tracks, which are very colorful and easy for little hands to put together. He played with different cars. We identified them by color. Our train set at home has a bridge over a hill, so Bobo wanted to make a hill and bridge with these tracks.
He had the right idea about bridges, but since the track was so long we really needed to construct a brace. Unfortunately, by this time we had to meet the grandparents for lunch. Maybe next time...
I know Bobo loves going to the Center, because the minute he realized where we were he began to list everything he wanted to do. He wanted to play with Play-Doh, play in the sand and cut. We did everything he wanted to do and still got our lesson in. Learning life lessons on the go!

Good morning! Did you all enjoy the fireworks last night? We had a little house party and the children were up late so I've had a peaceful morning this morning while they have slept in. It's given me some time to catch up on YouTube videos!
A huge thank you to everyone who linked up last week – we had so many link ups I'm so grateful to you all for stopping and linking up! I am loving finding new youtubers to follow and it is great seeing you all comment on each other's videos and grow your channels!
The linky goes live every Sunday morning and you can link up any video you like, old or new. You can link directly to the video or the blog post, it's up to you. If you have embedded your video into a blog post feel free to add the badge to raise awareness of the linky. I promise to watch and share on social media every one of your videos. It would be great if you could watch and comment and thumbs up a few others in the link up – that's how we share the love!
There were so many videos from last week that I loved it was really hard to choose a favourite. I think it has to be this gorgeous video from Gingerlillytea. I love Keri-Anne's blog and Instagram feed and this video just brought it all alive for me. Beautiful music too! I think this video really shows her style and it's great to see how that translates across different platforms.

The Commonwealth Medical College moved a step closer to full accreditation on Thursday when it announced the national medical school accrediting body has lifted the college's probationary status and granted it provisional accreditation.
The advance comes a year after the Liaison Committee for Medical Education placed the school on probation largely because of concerns about its financial stability.
With the new status - a rung higher than the school's preliminary accreditation before the probation period - the accrediting body also determined that the college has the resources to expand its class size from 65 to 100 medical degree students beginning in 2013.
"This is an external statement by an accrediting body that this school is solid," Lois Margaret Nora, M.D., the college's interim president and dean, said. "For anyone who has any questions about permanence, this is just a major statement."
The LCME's deliberations are private, Dr. Nora said, but the committee performed a comprehensive review of databases, student surveys and the college's self-study and spent three days on site evaluating the school.
The committee has asked for a status report in February on two areas that require continued monitoring: the college's permanent leadership and its long-term financial stability. But Dr. Nora noted that it did not ask for follow-up reports on the strength of the teaching and student programs at the core of the school's mission.
"This is a very solid school from the perspective of its core business: growing physicians and other health professionals," she said.
Dr. Nora, who will be replaced by Robert Wright, M.D., as interim president and dean when she leaves the college at the end of June, said the school has largely addressed the leadership question by permanently filling several key chairman and dean positions that were previously vacant or temporary.
The college has identified "excellent" candidates in its national search for a permanent CEO and dean and will hold a second round of interviews before the end of the month, Dr. Wright said.
A new dean is expected to be named in late summer or fall.
To address its financial stability, the college secured a commitment from Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania in September to provide a "cushion" when the college needs additional funding over a five-year period. College officials have said the institution needed $54 million for stability over five years.
The school is always looking at ways to increase and diversify its funding, Dr. Nora said. "We were very pleased that the LCME is apparently satisfied that we do have the financial stability that we need to move forward, although we recognize that they will continue to look at this."
The news provided a welcome boost to the school and medical community after the yearlong probation and the announcement in May that affiliation talks with the University of Scranton had ended without an agreement.
"You can't get better news than we just got," said Harmar Brereton, M.D., the assistant dean for development and a clinical faculty member. "It's an amazing confirmation of the remarkable effort" by the college's leadership, faculty, staff and students, he said.

R.I.P.D. - Review
Review by Rob Carnevale
RYAN Reynolds can't catch a break when it comes to movies derived from comic books.
Both Blade: Trinity and X-Men Origins: Wolverine have yet to deliver the spin-offs that were hoped for, while The Green Lantern also failed spectacularly in its bid for franchise status.
Now, R.I.P.D arrives in the wake of a US performance that places it among the costliest flops of the summer and with another franchise potential drifting in the wind. It's a fate that feels wholly deserved given the lazy and derivative nature of the film.
Derived from the Dark Horse comic of the same name by Peter M Lenkov, R.I.P.D finds Reynolds playing corrupt cop Nick who, upon being shot and killed by his equally devious partner (Kevin Bacon), is plucked from judgement by the Rest In Peace Department to police the Earth against the dead from returning.
Saddled with gruff new partner Roy (Jeff Bridges), Nick subsequently sets about solving his own crime which, in turn, involves saving the world.
From the outset it's clear that director Robert Schwentke is aiming for a franchise given how much this film feels like blockbuster movie-making by numbers.
Not only is it derived from a comic, it borrows heavily from the likes of Men In Black and Ghostbusters, not to mention the mis-matched cop genre. But while this may have appeared like a surefire recipe for success, especially with the benefit of a $130 million budget, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
For starters, the effects aren't at all special, the set pieces are lifeless and the dialogue is dreadful. Even the performances underwhelm, with Reynolds content to rely on deadpan sarcasm, Bridges dusting off his Rooster Cogburn persona and Bacon doing just what's required with no time for anything more.
Even some of the film's better ideas, such as a sight gag involving the central duo's Earth appearance being different, have been better employed in other movies.
As an advertisement for a lot of what's wrong with blockbuster cinema, R.I.P.D is difficult to beat. And Reynolds, in particular, would do well to start paying more attention.
Certificate: 12A
Running time: 95mins
UK Release Date: September 20, 2013

The Sultan has decreed that whoever builds him the most amazing palace will be named Grand Vizier.
Sultaniya is a game for 1-4 players. Everyone starts with a different palace base displaying large, gorgeous character art, with an equal gender spread, which is a big plus.
Each palace base also has a few different rooms already placed and different ways listed to get points. Perhaps you get points by planting palm trees in your palace, where someone else scores towers or domes.
But all palaces need good security – so everyone competes to have the most guards.
You also have two secret goals each. These might be having a certain feature aligned on as many floors as you can, or having lots of a certain type of feature on a single floor.
Some tiles have sapphires on them. As well as these symbols being involved in some of the secret goals, whenever you place a tile with sapphires on it, you get to grab that many big plastic sapphires from the sparkling pile of wonders.
Sapphires are the only currency the Djinn Union accepts. You can hire these beings of phenomenal cosmic power for such menial jobs as: revealing new tiles, removing a room and replacing it with another one, building two rooms at once, looking though all possible rooms for a single floor and building one.
The more tiles you add to your palace the harder it is to place new tiles. You see, the art has to match up, adding a puzzle-like element. So Djinn powers are very helpful to deal with this.
Sultaniya plays pretty quickly, decisions each turn are easy to understand but meaningful. And while competitive, it's not cutthroat – there's not much direct interaction with the other players, aside from taking tiles they may want. You only score at the end of the game, and scores can be pretty close – our latest game had only 1 point difference.
Each of the tiles is beautiful, and details on the rooms are varied, with nice little touches like parrots, monkeys and fountains – there's some especially flashy stuff on some of the roof tiles. As you build your palace, it's just a nice time where you've got the fun of tackling your own little puzzle, while enjoying the art and the other players' company.

Luke Scott, the frequently controversial outfielder for the Rays, had promised some sort of "show and tell" with reporters and delivered the goods on Sunday afternoon, arriving to the clubhouse with a stuffed boar's head.
"My first confirmed kill with a spear," he said before heading out for today's workout.
Judging by the photograph, it appears Scott greatly enjoys hunting and killing boars, and the dead boar appears to have experienced a great time as well. That's easily the happiest, most delighted boar I've ever seen.
The last time we heard from Scott he was ripping Red Sox fans, and before that, he explained he didn't think President Obama wasn't born in the United States. And before that endearing nugget, he comically pulled his hamstring during a home run trot. Of course he did.
Scott tends to find himself in headlines that usually aren't about baseball, and in the rare instances where they are about baseball, there's a healthy chance he's done something stupid. [via @EddieInTheYard]
