Dr. Eugene Gan was born in Singapore, the only child of Catholic parents. He grew up with an unusual combination of talents—technology and art. When it came time for college, he could see no way to combine these interests in Singapore. "Then a family friend suggested I apply to schools in the United States," says Gan. "There I could study both subjects."
Gan attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and graduated in 1994 with a BS in electrical and computer engineering and a minor in art. Although the term "multimedia" was barely born, he began working in that field, helping build the fledgling industry. Then his spiritual director suggested he explore teaching.
"I didn't want to!" says Gan. "My mother was a teacher, so I knew how relentlessly demanding the profession is. But out of obedience, I said okay." Gan started teaching at a computer academy and right away was invited to teach courses at Duquesne University's graduate school. He then simultaneously helped design and participated in Duquesne's MA program in multimedia technology, receiving his degree in 2001.
In 2000, he began part-time at Franciscan, while continuing to work in the multimedia industry. He became an assistant professor in 2004.
"Mother Church has been calling us for decades to get our act together as far as media," he says. "Not only to use it for evangelization but to integrate it into our lives." Gan is publishing a book on media literacy for Catholics, and he helped launch a multimedia concentration in Communication Arts.
In 2003, Gan met his wife, Cindy, online at Ave Maria Singles. They have four children and attend Holy Family Church.

5 What!JustToLetYouNo | 30/11/2007 | See all JustToLetYouNo's reviews (1)One of the last reviews where he says he's got a 'k800i and songs take ages to load and bits of pictures are missing', well dont let this put you off. The reason it is doing that is because he's phone can only take up to 2Gb(and he's got a 4Gb, Der!) If you go on the sony ericsson website there is a list that tells you all this! But buy this coz its an amazing price for 4Gb=] C'yal=]
3 Great price, but no adaptertdroza | 17/11/2007 | See all tdroza's reviews (1)The card is fine and a great price (£30 at the time of writing), but disappointing that it isn't supplied with an adapter to convert it to a Memory Stick Pro for backwards compatibility in other devices and card readers. I believe the 4GB SanDisk card (same price on Play) does come with an adapter.
2 DONT BUY! Get the Sandisk one instead! No adapter with itpaulieVTR | 28/11/2007 | See all paulieVTR's reviews (2)So much for Brand loyalty. I thought I'd get the SONY one to go with my Sony Ericsson P1i BUT you don't get the adapter with it like you do with the Sandisk one. I'm going to return the Sony and get a Sandisk instead. They are the same price and the only difference between the cards is the lettering on the card as far as I can see.
5 QualityAdam69 | 03/08/2008 | See all Adam69's reviews (2)Ideal for storing loads of music, photos and other stuff, this card just slots in your phone and works immediately.A tip for Sony Ericsson mobile users who are replacing an existing card- if you have games stored on your existing card, you can't copy them over using a PC. Move the game from your existing card to the phone memory, swap the cards then move from the phone memory to the new card. It's a bit laborious but the only way- if you try to do it using a PC, like I did at first, the games show as locked and won't work.Hope the tip helps, and I would recommend this card- you can get 100s of tracks on it, and it's a great price.
4 Adaptor was not suplied with mine! =[Metallic4n | 10/05/2008 | See all Metallic4n's reviews (1)i bought this memory card to use it on my PSP and its much smaller then i thought....and im kinda disapointed that an adaptor was not suplied with it so i cant use it until i get an adaptor as well. it was just the memory card on its own!..but its a great deal for a 4gb mem card!

Mlaatr: Maverick Hunter X (6 chapters up so far)
It's finally here, the sequel to my first Mlaatr fanfic "Frail Humanity."
If you haven't read Frail Humanity, but want to read this one, read Frail Humanity first, otherwise you won't really understand this one that well.
I decided to wait until I got to chapter 6 before posting the story online because ch. 6 is when X and Zero are introduced.

NO OPPOSITION ��* The basketball game Saturday morn- ing, March 2, Was a total disappoint- ment. Varsity walked away with a 47-6 victory, but the game was sadly devoid of excitement and spectacular playing. It does not seem .possible that the Buc- caneers who played "such a consistent game against Baltimore .several weeks * ago could be the same team that took such a "lickjng" Saturday morning. Varsity 4iad no competition so it is hard to judge the merits of the players. It is safe to.say*4hat the team did not play as well as it did in the last varsity game, ^asch, who graduated from sec- ond to first�"var�ity, looked promising. She is quick, alert^ and accurate, and "plays well with Totten. Baer, in center, and Freeman and McCully, guards, 1 played tht smoothest and most depend- able game, hut they didiiot hav�4o work f very hard. Blanchard was wild. Her passes were hard, fast and _ inaccurate. While it did not matter very much "� where the ball was thrown on Saturday, it might make a very material difference in a. close game. As for the Buccaneers the least said the better. Saturday must have been their off day for in spite of Miss Brady's valiant efforts and frequent shifts in the lineup they dia not have a prayer. In most games when victory is assured the subs are run in at the beginning or during the last quarter. This seemed the logical thing to do Saturday. It not only is an opportunity for the subs to show their worth and to make a blaze, but it also gives the player who just misses the first team an incentive to work harder. Bitt perhaps the team needed the practice for the Swarthmore game. The lineup was-: Varsity�Totten, 31. 21222122221222; Rasch, 32, 2212212212212; Baer, '31; Blanchard, '31: Freeman, '29; Mc- Cully, '32.

Goodhart Radio Gives Us Inaugural Ceremonies A radio installed ' in the Common Room through the efforts of Virginia Fain on Monday morning did much to make up to those politically-minded stu- dents who wanted to be in Washington but were not, by bringing the ceremonies of the inauguration within their auditory reach. Beginning somewhat feebly, the radio found its voice just as the chaplain was asking a blessing on the day's events, tflen lapsed into silence, and finally came out loud and clear in time for the most important parts of the program. A large crowd of- verv silent listeners was Cross Stands for Addition, Dr. Steer Said at ', Vesper. . 0tr Douglas Steere, Rhodes Scholar to Germany atid now prpfessor of psy- chology and philosophy at ^Haverford College, gave a most interesting talk at the Vesper service of the Bryn Mawr League on Sunday evening. March 3, in the Music Room of Goodhart Hall. The Lenten period. Dr� Stecre suggest- ed to us, is one in which people are glad to - have redramatized for them the life of one of the world's, greatest personal- ities. It represents the weeks in the most intensive portion of Christ's life and gives us the most poignant realization of His humanness. The great symbol ,of the period, as it is the symbol of. all Christian life, is the* Cross. What, exactly, should the Cross mean to us? It should represent for us a permanent and tangible Something, simple enough for us to understand iri itself and strong enough for us to grasp in the countless crises which besiege our lives. Symbolically, the/Cross represents two ideas. Cross Stands for tragedy In the first place, the Cross stands for Tragedy�the tragedy in life which no one can escape?" The vision of the Cross has a curious effect upon us; it quickens the sense of the value of life and enables Opportunities for Study in France Unusually Many "Opportunities for studying in France during the summer, are more numerous this year than they have been for several seasons/' said Miss Shenk in chapel on Friday morning, March 1. ' In Paris the Sorbonne offers a reguTar course in French Language aijd^ Litera-. ture, June liO.August 10; and an Academic Tour, August 12-21, which will include Touraine, Mont St. MicHel and Normandy. Among the courses offered at the Sorbonne is one very interesting one given by Professor Baldensperger on the Contemporary Novel. The cost, from June 30 to August 21, is between $200 and $300. including living, tuition, excursions and trips. The^.Alliance Francaise, also in Paris, offers two series of courses in the French Language and Literature; from July 1- 30. and from August 1-31. The cost in- volved is ridiculously cheap; 140 francs a month (S.VOO). The Institut de Phonetique is repeating the courses it lias offered for the last several years. They include intensive work in small discussion groups and are intended for students who wish to perfect their pronunciation. The first series runs from July 15-AugUSt '�'<: and the second, from August V24. Cost": 200 francs. In the provinces tuition averages about $8 a month, living. $L30 to $2 a day. and excursions are very inexpensively ar- ranged by the authorities Continued on Pa/je Two gathered in the Common Room to hear I ,. , .... , �u 4 u . .*. . u u *-� * � .!_� us to realize the triviality ot minor an- What HooveV would have to say in this _,, .... noyances. There were no bickerings in MUSSOLINI'S DRASTIC METHODS ENFORCE POLICIES ON PEOPLE first public utterance since the election. The swearing in of new Senators, and the process of removal from the Chamber of the Senate to the west front of the Capitol was made vivid to the listeners by two sprightly radio announcers and the chief clerk of the Senate, famous as the man who first announced that "Alabama gives twenty-four votes for Oscar W. Underwood." We were told that Curtis was speaking to a lady, that it was raining slightly, adding the color of variegated umbrellas to the landscape, {hat former President Coolidge had his hand up to his chin, and tha| the digni- taries were reluctant to sit down on their damp chairs. We were also in- debted to Mr. J. F. Wile, veteran, if rather absent-minded political announcer, who described Senator Shipstead, of Missouri, as "That tall sycamore of the plains." The voice of Chief Justice Taft, ad- ministering the oath of office (and it was an oath, not an affirmation) put the tones of the announcers to shame, for clarity and resonance, and Hoover's answering "I do" was likewise loud and vigorous. His address, laying emphasis oh judicial reorganization and prohibition enforcement, was short and eloquent enough for anyone io read in the paper. He expressed a wish that the United States might enter the World Court, but without abandoning her reservations^ and declared his intention of abiding by the exusessed will of the people not to ham- per her freedom of action by joining the League of' Nations. In this connection Dr. Fertwick wishes to refer the students to Hoover's statement concerning the League of Nations in 1920. The new President indicated that the coming spe- cial session of Congress will deal with Farm Relief and "limited Tariff reform." He affirmed his intention to keep the Government out of business, while re- serving the right, however, to regulate rigorously all Public Utilities and#eh- courage co-operative associations.. He indicated his intention of reorganizing the administrative departments of govern- ment, and furthering the practice of economy. The rest of the address was largely devoted to appreciation in not too oratorical terms of peace, progress, prosperity and the American people. . Allinson Here Saturday Mr. Brent Allinson, a young man who has travelled in Soviet Russia and is popular as a lecturer on the subject, will speak and show movies in Goodhart Hall on Saturday evening, March 9. Mr. Allinson is lecturing at Haverford on Friday evening and has kindly consented to proceed to Bryn Mawr to tell us about the present situation in the most inter- esting country on the modern map. the trenches; there was little fussing over trifles; with Death so near at hand these lesser things faded into the background. And so the vision pf the Cross makes a good many of our foibles seem insigni- ficant arid worthless. It changes our at- titude toward life in general. When . Christ was faced with the knowledge that He would Ik crucified, His thoughts were not those of despair. He felt at once the great desire to carry out all His endeavors, so that in the end there might exist within Him a feeling of accomplishment. He gives out a new challenge to 'the disciples and clarifies the vision of what they must do. He emphasizes the necessity of going on in .the remaining time with a new spirit of consecration. Tltcre is the tragnc element in the vision of the Cross. Death docs come; and it is impossible to put off decisions and to procrastinate in straightening out the vexing entanglements which surround us. We cannot afford to wait for the "next step:" there is a certain intenseness in the symbol which makes us "realize the need of "doing it now." Cross Stands for Addition But the Cross stands for more than this. It also stands for the vision of Christ as the Sign of Addition of our lives. To illustrate this Dr. Douglas re- told for us a charming legend of Brittany. �, ____ Some children were playing around" in a large field and being tired they sat down at the foot of a Crucifix which stood near by. Presentl\v Christ came down from the Gross ao3) asked them what they thought of Him. Two of them of- fered an opinion on the subject, but the third, excused by his friends as "stupid," could think of nothing to say. Fifty years later the three were again assembled in the same place. The oc- casion was the dedication-of a church, at which one of the three preached a great and dramatic sermon. The "stupid" one had returned with the Others, but he did not go into the church. He stayed out- side, and when the sermon was over and everyone had gone his way, he went out into the field and sat down again at the foot of the old Crucifix. Again Christ came down and asked what he thought of Him now. And the man answered that he had always thought of Christ as a sign in his arithmetic book�the sign of addition, the power, which, combined with the strength or weakness of the Self, is the only thing which makes life at times seem bearable. Life cannot be lived alone. We need this Sign of Addition to complement our- selves. The Cross is the symbol of this complementary thing and not of the necessity for quick, sound decisions'. Aw�*"�red at Last - For the past three weeks try- outs for the Glee Club production of "Patience" have been in prog- ress. The cast, at length made public, though tentative, will be as follows: Colonel Calvcrly ___L. livens, '32 Major Murgatroyd, Hirsehberg, "80 Lieut., the Duke of Dunstable, A.

It was first produced at the Opera Comiqiie. London, on Saturday. April 23, 1881. Need- less to say, Patience is the heroine and Bunthornc aesthetic, purple- eyed and mediaeval, is the hero. Mr. ? ' zemini -Stresses- Fsct That Italy Did Not Need a Savior. SELF - RESPECT LOST Work Awaits Hoover Foreign and Domestic Problems Outlined by Dr. Smith. Dr. William Roy Smith spoke "in chapel on Monday morning, March 4, on the problems that are before the Presi- dent. He classified them into domestic and foreign, and discussed the domestic ones first. The rearrangement of the administra- tion departments at Washington is very important. Many, of them overlap and the taxpayers could be saved 10,000,000 a year, but some people would have to be thrown out and this would necessarily involve political opposition. The second problem is that of the foreign immigra- tion laws. The act of J924 has been postponed twice and though the House voted in favor of ft on Sunday, the Sen- ate adjourned and will probably let it go until the speciaTscssioh in April. The third problem is that of (arm relief, and President Hoover is opposed to the Mc- Xary-Haugen bill. He will-probably try to institute a Federal farm hoard at Washington and a stabilization corpora- tion for'each major industry.- In years when there are good 'crops the farmers will be encouraged to hold the crops until the prices rise. Money, will be loaned them by the Government from a revolv- ing fund, but it will be difficult to hold prices up. Fourthly, tariff must be revised to help fanners and manufacturers. There is a conflict between the extreme Republicans and the more moderate Democrats headed bx LoXffWOrtk, but Dr. Smith believes that Hoover will be rather moderate, and that there will only be great increases where it is very urgent, or where foreign competition is very keen. Difficulties will undoubtedly arise, as was the case when farmers demanded an increase in the rate on cocoanuT oil, so that cottonseed oil would be used in its place. This would raise the price of soap; so the manufacturers at once, objected and want a lower tariff. In the case of for- eign countries, Canada especially would retaliate, and political differences might arise. Another point is that Republican high tariff brought the Democrats into power in 1890 and 1912 so the Repub- licans will probably try to keep it low. Congress as well as Hoover will have to face the Fenn reapportionment bill. At present the House is based on the census of 1910 and this so decidedly unfair to Only a few days before the Fascist viewpoint had been dealt out to us very convincingly. On Saturday night the case for the anti-Fascists was presented even more convincingly by Professor Gactano Salvemini. He spoke on "Pres- ent-day Conditions in Italy,'' andr so that no one could fail to be impressed. The sense of deep personal conviction, the unadorned and unjugglcd facts, the incontrovertible logic,, that he gave the * audience, were very persuasive without smacking at all of propaganda. Professor. Salvemini began by saying that to^uilge fairly one must know .that in 1012, when the Fascists captured the government, the economic machinery of Italy was.no/ in a breakdown. Mussolini did not rescue an Italy expiring on the brink of bankruptcy. In the period be--* twecn the end of the war and the coming of Fascism the country underwent not a crisis ,,f disorganization hut one of re- adjustment : a crisis whose outstanding symptom was an epidemic of strikes both industrial and political. The post-war unrest was dying down gradually, and the Fascists had nothing to do with the nation's recovery. During 1919-1920. the two most danger- ous years. Mussolini actually did his best to help the unrest rather then to allay it. He urged the people to start a new war, a war of the proletarian nations against the capitalist nations. He opposed the Socialists not liecausc they were too revo- lutionary but because they were not*revo- lutionary enough. The credit for there being no revolution is due Io the Italian people, who could have risen but re- trained, rather than to Mussolini as the I'ro-Fascists declare. When the danger was over Mussolini no longer attacked the Socialists from the left, but assailed them from the right, calling thenT now dangerous revolutionaries rather than in- effcctu� revolutionaries. As the post-war ncura^tl^ft died down Fascism began to develop, and Italy entered a^ncw phase of political life. It was a period of authorized lawlessness, organized by the military and helped by the judges and police. The military au- thorities armed the Fascists, seeing them Continued on- Page Three Continued on Page Three .1 Series of Lenten Lectures Will Be Given in Goodhart A course of five Lenten lecture-con- ' ferencei for parents, teachers and all others interested in, or working with children, is to be given in Goodhart Hall j on Tuesday and Friday ai'ternoons of this month at 4 o'clock, under the auspices of the Bryn Mawr Kducational clinic and the Parent's Council of Philadelphia.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Kristenne Robison, Westminster College assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice studies, was recently published in the spring issue of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) quarterly publication. She also presented research at the Innovations in Prisons Workshop, held at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs in April.
Robison's manuscript, "Teaching and Researching Incarcerated Women: Undergraduates Explore Education as a Human Right," discussed a research project conducted by Robison and her students, in which the students taught Principles of Sociology and Sociology of Families courses in a women's prison, while simultaneously researching the women's educational experiences and backgrounds. The project came about after a representative from a women's prison gave a presentation to the Westminster students, during which he shared that women in prison tend to be less educated and are offered less educational opportunities than in the men's prison.
"The innovative undergraduate research project discussed here focused on the human right to education, and the setting was a women's prison not far from the Westminster College campus," Robison said. "Initially, I did not frame the experience for my students as research into human rights, but upon reflection both I and my students found ourselves mired in questions about the role of the state to 'respect, protect, and fulfill' (United Nations 2012) the human right to education for incarcerated women."
Robison continued, "The experience also encouraged students to question the education that many of the women received or did not receive before they ever set foot in the prison, as well as other human-rights issues that shaped the lives of the women, such as sexual abuse and violence at the hands of intimate partners. Such research projects also provide for interactions between students and the research subjects and opportunities for students to see the people affected as human beings. More specifically, looking at human-rights issues in prison encouraged students to consider punitive versus rehabilitative philosophies."
Robison presented "The Role of Volunteers in Prisons: Teaching College Classes at a Women's Prison" at the UCLA workshop. She discussed the process of establishing college courses at women's prisons, and the different and sometimes contradictory reactions of prison administrators, inmates, student and professional participants. She also discussed recommendations on how to best navigate through the prison systems to provide educational programming to the incarcerated.
Robison was one of 12 invited, fully funded presenters. The event was supported by the Department of Social Welfare and the Luskin School of Public Affairs, UCLA, and funded through an international grant awarded by the United Kingdom's Economic and Social Research Council to Dr. Rosie Meek of the University of London.
Robison, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2009, earned an undergraduate degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, master's degrees from The Ohio State University and Syracuse University, and Ph.D. from Syracuse University. Her research interests include police work, sociology of gender, intimate partner violence, and qualitative research methods.

U10 Girls Cheetahs Battle Opponents, Elements To Win Sunbelt Classic
The U10 Girls Rush Pikes Peak Cheetahs coached by Scott Johnson won their first three games in the Pueblo Sunbelt Classic Tournament before blizzard conditions ended the games Sunday late in the morning. On Saturday, the team defeated the tournament host Pueblo Rangers U10, 6-1. They followed this up with a shutout win on Sunday over another Pueblo Rangers team, 8-0. A match-up with Colorado Storm, which took place in heavy snow and wind, went the Cheetahs way in a 7-1 victory. Immediately after the game, tournament officials deemed the conditions too dangerous to continue. The Cheetahs finished first in the group for their first-ever tournament championship!
Players for the tournament were: Brianna Allard, Ariana Betoni, Kaylie Bierman, Brooke Heinicke, Caroline Johnson, Reilly Kearns, Brooke Moss, Breanne Raley, Zoe Vaughan. Guest players from Rush Pikes Peak Alley Cats were: Lucy Hart, Jadyn LeDoux, and Allie Martinez. Congratulation to all of the girls for their great work this past weekend!

WarAngel wrote:I found an interesting piece in the episode Aliens and Evil Places. According to the episode there were at one time structures in Siberia which have a dome-like shape to them and have been described as "cauldrons." People have come down with strange illnesses when spending time near them and recover when they leave. It's theorized that it's a defense system of some kind. Either from space objects or opposing aliens. At present they are sunken into the ground.
Maybe this is crazy but is it possible that that blast up there was designed to get rid of those structures? Having never heard of any structures being there, that's the first thing to pop into my head.

Nybelwyck Hall: A Mansion in Miniature - Hudson River Museum - Glenview Through January 08, 2013 - Yonkers
Nybelwyck Hall, a dollhouse representing Lilliputian life at its most luxurious, makes its appearance in Glenview, the Museum's 1897 river home. The 24-room, granite-and-mortar Glenview, and Nybelwyck, the 24-room dollhouse, share architectural features - a Great Hall and a double staircase that curves from the top floor down to the Hall. Nybelwyck's central facade is loosely based on the Hudson River estate, Staatsburg, the Ogden Mills House. The orange-and-green colors on its Victorian addition are reminiscent of Wilderstein, in Rhinebeck, the family home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's personal secretary. Dollhouse enthusiast Mark O'Banks created Nybelwyck Hall over the course of a decade and looked to the wisdom of a ouija board to name his creation. The house is furnished with found objects in its 24 rooms, as well as rugs O'Banks designed. Among its 900 objects are minute musical instruments that play, doors with intricate locks that work, and a tiny dollhouse within the dollhouse's nursery.
Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney - Hudson River Museum Through January 13, 2013 - Yonkers
In 100 books, Jerry Pinkney has turned his artist's eye and hand to the story - a classic, a folktale, a fable - and readers all over the world saw something new, something they wanted to read and to remember. Pinkney is the master of the American picture book. More than 120 watercolor illustrations by the artist, who lives in Westchester, will be on view in the first major overview of his career as a designer and illustrator in "Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney." The exhibition follows his 2010 award of the Randolph Caldecott Medal for "The Lion and the Mouse." The Hudson River Museum is the only New York showing for this exhibition on national tour, organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Pinkney has found it interesting to trace how the chapters of his life have knitted themselves into his art, touching on the cultural themes of the African-American experience. He uncovers, again and again, the energy in a small moment that surprisingly can change a life or turn an event in history. Most recently in his almost wordless adaptation of the Aesop fable, "The Lion and The Mouse," two creatures on a faraway African plain choose not the hard chase and bloody battle but, instead, exchange kindnesses. Fascinated with wildlife, Pinkney, in many books including "The Brer Rabbit" in "The Last Tales of Uncle Remus" shows us the human qualities of an animal as he shows us the animal in its natural setting. Pinkney, Philadelphia born and bred, and now a long-time New Yorker, has illustrated children's books since 1964, but it was not an easy path. Blacks were not expected to be able to forge careers in the art field. Trained as a commercial artist at a vocational school, he persisted and won a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art where his work took on the shading and detail for which he is now renowned, and he where he began to use color to convey mood and emotion. He has most often worked on children's books that celebrate multiculturalism and African-American heritage, as he took on the task of reshaping the perceptions of the stereotypes of blacks. He designed the first nine stamps of the US Postal Service's Black Heritage series. Art critics will look at the color of Pinkney's illustrations, the scarlet curve of Little Red Riding Hood's cloak, the golden blade of grass on the Serengeti plane. Sociologists will look at Pinkney the little boy, who without a visit to a museum or an art class, drew at home on the back of wallpaper samples. What the viewer will see though, in "The Art of Jerry Pinkney" is his wish: "It has always been my intent for my work to continue to breathe after publication. My hope is that (museum visitors) will believe that Jerry Pinkney cares deeply for people, making art, and visual storytelling." The exhibition includes a 96-page illustrated catalog that provides new scholarship into Pinkney's work in essays by the exhibition's co-curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, Dr. Gerald L. Early, and others. On view through January 13, 2013.

Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day.

Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

I've heard Mom's stories many times, and I never tire of hearing them. They are always funny in some way or other, but more than that, there is a kind of sweetness and sadness to her recollections. In sharing with you this story from my mother's childhood, I want to take you back in time, so I'm going to use my mother's first name, Mary.
Four little girls and the Grand Canal
On a bright and very warm summer afternoon in Dublin, Mary, her sister Bernadette, and their friends little Lily Cowzer and Martha Doyle had some time on their hands. Near to their homes in Ringsend is the Grand Canal, a long and very old waterway which winds its way from Dublin all the way to the River Shannon. Many times the girls had been warned by Aunt Alice not to go near the canal, for fear that they might fall in. Mary and Bernadette risked a cane beating if Aunt Alice learned they had disobeyed her, but that did not stop them. As the story goes, it seems that elder sister Bernadette had quite a streak of mischief in her, and she prodded the girls to go, although my guess is Mary, Martha and Lily didn't need much prodding.
Nevertheless, off to the canal they went. As I mentioned, it was a very warm summer day in Dublin, and some of the boys in the neighbourhood had stripped down to their shorts (actual shorts, not underwear), and were jumping into the canal to cool off. Mary found the canal water a bit frightening because she thought it was very deep, a belief which was confirmed for her by the blackness of the water. In Mary's imagination the bones of other disobedient children were laid across the bottom of the canal's distant floor, forever lost, and she didn't want to join their number.
The Grand Canal Locks at Leeson St. Bridge, Ballsbridge |
They sat there laughing and talking for quite some time, nudging each other, giggling over the silly boys, and relaxing in the lovely sunshine. Suddenly, one of the shoes Martha was wearing somehow came undone, and fell off her foot into the water. The four girls jumped up and began shrieking as though one of them had fallen into the canal. They laid down on their bellies, and although the distance was impossible for four such little girls, Mary, Martha, Lily, and Bernadette stretched their arms and their legs as far as they could in a desperate attempt to retrieve the lost shoe before it sank, but they could not reach it. A couple of the boys came over to their side of the lock to help. Each one jumped in and dove under the water searching as best he could in order to find the errant shoe, but it was all to no avail. Although the shoe was most certainly gone, the girls knew they could not return home without it.
Six o'clock came, and Ringsend Church rang out the bells of the Angelus. Mary knew her father would be stopped on the bridge near their house, on his way home from work, standing next to his bicycle with his hat over his heart. He would be whispering the lines of the Angelus prayer to the peal of the bells. So too, she knew they were now late home. They would have to go home without the shoe. Mary and Bernadette would have to tell the the truth about what happened, and they would have to face the wrath of Aunt Alice.
When they arrived at Mary and Bernadette's house, the four girls stood by the front door, breaking their hearts crying. Long gone was Lily's laugh. Martha made her way over the road to her house to tell her mother of the fate of her shoe, and face whatever punishment might come. Mary said the girls cried, not so much because they were frightened of beatings, but more because they knew their fathers worked so very hard to take care of their families, and shoes cost real money.
Mary and her sister Bernadette didn't receive a beating that day for disobeying Aunt Alice. That was not Alice's way. Instead she would hold off on delivering the punishment until the children least expected it, believing that they would truly remember the punishment, and learn from it.
Mary vividly recalls the day she received the beating for her part in the loss of that shoe. At school, weeks after the shoe was lost, Mary had been given the prize of a small picture of Jesus Christ as a reward for perfecting her lessons. Mary still remembers how happy she felt on the way home from school, excited to show Aunt Alice the prize. It was then that Alice decided the time was right for the caning, and she was right, Mary never forgot it.
My dear mother Mary will celebrate her 81st birthday in May, and each time she tells me of the punishment she received, there is never a hint of rancour in her tone. When I am indignant about the cruel way in which she was treated, my mom will say, "that is the way things were done". She always reminds me that if it were not for Aunt Alice coming to live with the family after the death of their mother, Mom and her siblings may have been taken away from the home into which they were born.

Although Gir could be viewed as Bell's greatest weakness; it would appear that his abilities are capable of amplifying her strengths when fighting at her side. Examining the page, you can see that he not only changes it's appearance, but also it's nature of the attack (going from a slow moving mass of destructive energy to a faster & more focused bombardment). More than likely this attack will either sap Blossom of her stamina, or inflict enough damage to take her down a notch or two; stacking the odds in their favor in this 2 against 1 assault.

Think that covers everyone important in PPGD unless the shadowpuff girls become reality in PPGD or the power punk girls show up. and the panty shots got censored so not a big deal an artist has the right to censor their work.

Anyhow, Barasia already appeared. That's the only place she'll appear. |8
Griddles' story is not PpGD. It's been so long since I've said that in place of "GT is not PpGD" that I am almost amused rather than angry.
So I won't slaughter you, CallMeD. Consider yourself lucky.

Originally, I thought the strip mines were blasting. That is what it originally sounded like. In those cases, and we are about 5 miles from the mines, it is hard to tell if the sound is from the air or ground. However, the mines had ceased operation, and this was the source of my confusion. I also learned my father-in-law, about 2 miles away, could also hear them. Some occurred while on the phone with him, and we heard them at the same time. It wasn't until it was confirmed that the mines were not operational, and the meteorologists said there was nothing in the atmosphere that could explain the noises that I really began tracking when the sounds happened. One night, right before one of the sounds, there was a very loud noise, like a low altitude jet. That only happened that one time though. By the time I got outside, all I could see, and this was the one time there were no clouds, were three very high planes, that appeared commercial in nature based upon size and signal lights. But they could have been any kind of plane really.
It is not unusual for us to have small planes flying around, we have a small airport not far away. Also, we routinely have military helicopters flying around. That would include single rotor and dual rotor helicopters. But like I said, we are not that far from Fort Campbell, home of the 101st airborne unit. I have been fishing on KY lake before and seen planes practicing mid-air refueling. That is something to see in person. I will admit, I was in awe watching them line up, link, and fuel.

Sony's old gaming handheld is gone from this Earth. The Vita still has a slim fighting chance. But the handheld gaming landscape won't ever be the same again.
A cache of recently acquired video games at the Library of Congress turned up a true find: the source code for unreleased PSP game Duke Nukem: Critical Mass.
There's a new superphone in town. Is it worth your money? Also, Apple's got a new beta for you. That and more in this week's rundown of all the tech news.
Microsoft dedicated its Xbox One press conference to assuring players that it's not the company that trotted out a controversial console last year. This time, games come first.
Last year was the PlayStation 4. What will Sony's 2014 E3 press conference bring? A big dose of Vita and PS4 games, and more: tune in for CNET's live coverage.
After 10 years, the company ends sales of its handheld gaming device in North America, Europe, and Japan.
Apple's developer conference made waves, but not for the right reasons. Also, Amazon teased a product launch, and Nook goes on life support. Here's your week in review.
With spy-grade security, Google is making it harder for the NSA to read your e-mail. And Apple adds the privacy-centric search engine DuckDuckGo to Safari options.
Razer throws its hat in the iOS MFi game controller ring with a case that doubles as a slide-out gamepad, minus analog sticks.
Sony's new, thin gaming handheld is here. And it's a reminder that the embattled Vita platform has a lot of things going for it, too.

User Comments: For this level of training course I would have expected more of an athletic advanced program. The book was not clear on exercises ( most of the pictures were very similar) a live action DVD would improve this course tremendously especially if it is more athletic drills. This course was not innovative, and the information to basic for this level course
User Comments: The book is a nice catalog of exercises, which is great for reference, but doesn't teach (unless you like rote memorization). Some of the test questions were poorly conceived, and did not always appear in agreement with the course materials from what I could tell.
User Comments: This is a good CEC for beginner and maybe intermediate sessions but, shouldn't be included on the Sports Performance Specialization package.
User Comments: Was not appropriate for an athlete setting, as the exercises were geared more towards every day fitness people. Not what I expected in a sports performance course.
User Comments: Excellent,expanded my knowledge in some new training drills for my clients
User Comments:
There are some sports specific training ideas that will be useful for people with whom I work who play tennis. I work with an older population and with people who have Parkinson's disease. Many of the drills for balance, agility and coordination are quite applicable to the condition of most of my clientele. I like the organized way in which the course is designed. The information within the course is reinforced throughout each section so it can become knowledge and be a useful part of a trainer's repertoire versus a course that one takes simply to earn CECs.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed this course!
User Comments: Very thorough but rather basic and limited.
User Comments: Great solid personal training building blocks to further any clients' fitness program at any fitness level and/or client population. This course is suitable for any trainer's tool box, regardless of the trainer's experience or expertise.
User Comments: Balance drills seemed the most refined...all the others were extremely basic
User Comments: This course is very simple. It hardly seems like the content justifies the number of CECs it earns one.
I had a specific question about questions 9 and 17. Question 9 asked: True or False. When preforming ABC drills bilateral movements precede unilateral movements. The answer I selected was False because bilateral movements come BEFORE unilateral movements not after as stated on page 28 of the ABC book. For some reason this was marked incorrect. Why is that? Question 17 asked: Which of the following is a drill progression that is simple to complex? I answered: Forward, bilateral, then unpredictable movements. This is a progression from simple to complex however, the correct answer was said to be: forward, bilateral, predictable. Where I see that this is an appropriate progression in order, I do not see how my answer and this answer are not both correct. The correct answer and the answer I chose both show drill progression from simple to complex. Any advice?
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for your feedback and questions. ACE will be emailing you shortly to address your specific questions.
This material was way too basic. I was hoping for more theory but it seemed that this was just a list of marginally explained drills. When I looked up the author and her company online there are really no great credentials other than she has had articles published in several recreational mags. Pretty disappointing.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been forwarded to GMP Fitness. We look forward to continually improving our courses through your reviews.
GMP RESPONSE via ACE: Thank you David for your review. The course does contain some basic information and also does have some intermediate progressions. The course explains progressions in a simplistic and an easy to follow format. The course also provides helpful, easy, practical tips and exercises to develop balance, coordination and agility.
This link --- http://www.ginapiazza.com/about.asp --- provides information about the author and her credentials.
User Comments: It has great drills to utilize but lacks information.
This is a very basic, beginner's course to ABC training. I was hoping that this course would offer advanced drills to really challenge a good athlete, but this course is lacking in that area. If you know nothing about ABC training, then this course may be of some use to you. However, if you are experienced in ABC training, then I would not waste time with this course unless you are required to take it for a specialty certification.
GMP RESPONSE via ACE: Thank you Anthony for your review. The course does contain some basic information and also does have some intermediate progressions with a few additional advanced drills. The course provides assessment information for your clients and incrementally advances ABC training to help benefit clients and keep them motivated.
User Comments: I thought the book and quiz were informative. the only issue I had was with question 21. It asked Which of the following is a step over hurdle drill advanced drill? I answered, step over mid sized hurdles on to balance domes. The test scored that as incorrect with the correct answer being step over high hurdles on to foam rollers. On page 99 of the book it clearly states the option that I selected. Picture #7 says advanced and is someone stepping over mid sized hurdles on to a balance dome. What they said was actually correct is not demonstrated in the book at all.
User Comments: I liked the book a lot. It's very helpful for newer trainers like me. Would've been helpful to know what equipment was needed beforehand, but won't keep you from learning. I thought it broke down the training exercises and the reasons/purpose behind them very well.
User Comments: very informative and liked that there was a book and DVD
User Comments: Well written, concise and to the point. Easy to understand and follow. provided good exercises and progressions.
User Comments: Great course! I would highly recommend this course! It is laid out in a easy to fallow format, from start to progression - which is easily transferable to practical use with clients from a beginner client to a professional athlete! What a nice and easy way to get some very usable cec's Thanks GMP Fitness and personaltrainereducation.com !!! Chris ( Ace certified trainer)
User Comments: This course offers so many simple skills and drills to improve balance, agility and coordination. It is nicely organized and has visual cues as well. Highly recommend for sports and fitness enthusiasts looking to up there game.

Plum out of midnight oil and a needed recharge
Wow April was something else. Opening an etsy store, guest blogging, Wonderland giveaways, and quilt festivals. I don't know if I'll ever recover. My inbox is still a little out of control, so if there is someone out there who has asked me a question and I haven't got back to you, please email me and I will answer right away. I know there are questions buried in my inbox and I'm not sure when they'll be unearthed!
It has been crazy, and exhausting, and fabulous, and fun. I couldn't be more grateful to all of you for your kind comments and encouragement.
But I was pooped. And in serious need of some battery-recharge.
So, perfect timing for BYU Women's Conference. This is an annual 2-day event at Brigham Young University where about 20,000 women from all over the country, of all ages, stages of life (and stages of pregnancy), come for a massive GNO. There are 95 different sessions with speakers on subjects as varied as raising small children, supporting someone in the military, heart disease, prayer, being an empty-nester, going back to school, etc.
There are also multiple service projects going on at the same time. Some are in over-flow rooms where women can listen to session broadcasts while they assemble basic school kits to be sent overseas. Some women are knitting hats and booties while they attend sessions. (It is one mega multi-tasking party.) In the evening there is a massive service project where 100's of quilts are tied, and 1,000s of humanitarian hygiene and newborn kits are assembled. It is truly awe-inspiring.
And massive amounts of fudge and Costa Vida (tex-mex) salads are consumed in the process.
I am so inspired by all of these good women. Not perfect women, but women who really want to do the best they can. This is one such woman, my good friend Cami.
And do you know what? I feel this way about many of the people I've come across in the blogging community. So many good women. Who want to do good things, whether for their families or the greater world at large. I'm so glad to know you!
(And speaking of friends from the blogging community I saw Sherri! We were both swiftly moving in opposite directions so I didn't have the chance to publicly accost her, but I knew it was her by her Wonderland bag. :)
And to continue the GNO (girls' night out) theme, I'm taking my girls to the Beehive Bazaar tonight. This is not your mother's craft fair. It's actually more like your grandmother's craft fair with all the cool retro-vintagy stuff there. I can't wait.
I have already promised my girls that I would not repeat last year's performance of parking too close to a really deep, former-irrigation-ditch gutter, which I then rolled the front passenger-side wheel into, thereby high-centering the car. And my husband was at a campout miles away with our boys. Fortunately some lovely friends came to our rescue and let us borrow one of their cars to get home that night and then another good neighbor towed our car out the next morning. This time we will park in the parking lot.

quote:...but government will always be involved with formal unions between couples and the disposition of property and the support of children).
quote:Mother of God. Yeah, that's it. TV's "sympathetic" portrayal of gay people changed everything.
quote:It grows gov't, which libertarians seem to be against. Why not just limit gov'ts scope in marriage and change cohabitation tax laws?
quote:The growth would be minimal.
quote:Then it's needless to change the definition of marriage unless there are other motivations for doing so.
quote:(don't mean that as a flame, but government will always be involved with formal unions between couples and the disposition of property and the support of children
quote:Still grows gov't which is against a libertarian principle. It looks like there are exceptions.
quote:Yeah, it was a big coincidence that polls switched over the last 5 years. You're correct, people are never influenced by what they see or hear in media. The billions spent on advertising are all wasted.
quote:So you honestly believe that some sort of media campaign has changed American opinion on the issue of gay marriage?
quote:The issue was lost once TV started having more and more sympathetic gay characters show up in the programming. Marketing.
quote:Swinging public opinion by 10-15% points, yes absolutely. You give people far too much credit if you think they would have devoted even an hour of contemplation to the subject over the last 5 years without gay characters being placed front and center.
quote:So, Jake, are you one of those posters who believes that they are among the "right thinking" conservatives and the majority of Americans are sheep who have been led astray? That's kind of egotistical, don't you think?
quote:Meh, what did we really lose?
quote: I don't think marriage should be something under the domain of the government, but until a time that it's not the case, I see no logical reason while gays should be restricted.
quote:Rush Limbaugh on gay marriage: "This issue is lost" quote: Meh, what did we really lose? Ex-fricking-actly What would straight people lose by gays getting married??? Not a fricking thing.
quote:Straight don't lose anything but instead of marriage why not call it a civil union for tax purposes. To me marriage is more of a religious thing than government. To me where the rubber meets the road is similar to ACA when the government tells Churches they have to marry same sex couples even if it is against their religious principals. This is why the Catholic Church was against ACA and same sex marriage. If this allows government to dictate to churches who you have to allow to marry it crosses the separation of church and state.

Unfortunately I can't find the entire interview, but here's a link to a small portion of it. If you haven't seen this interview in its entirety, I strongly suggest you hunt around for it on youtube—it's broken up into something like 13 or 14 3-minute clips. York has a ton of fascinating stuff to share about his 1 1/2 years as a Byrd. A must-view for Byrds junkies.

Suvir Saran's Roasted Manchurian Cauliflower
Monday, 7. January 2013 5:26
If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting New York Chef Suvir Saran, no doubt you reveled in his bold, colorful and magnetic personality.
Not surprisingly, this dish is very much like him — it makes a big impression from the get-go.
"Roasted Manchurian Cauliflower" is from his cookbook, "Masala Farm" (Chronicle Books), of which I received a review copy. Suran, owner of Devi restaurant in New York, wrote the book with Charlie Burd, his long-time partner. It includes recipes and stories about their time shared in their upstate New York farmhouse situated on 67 acres with three ponds, goats, chickens and an abundance of fruits, vegetables and herbs.
The recipes are farm-to-table, but done often with Indian flair.
This cauliflower dish has been a signature one since his restaurant opened. It's sort of like Chinese sweet-and-sour, but with cauliflower, not pork, and boasts a spicy kick.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Edward Cohen, Westminster College associate professor of political science, recently published an article in the Finnish Yearbook of International Law, Vol. 22.
"Assessing the Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Transnational Financial Law and Regulation" attempts to assess the role of national and international financial law and regulation in the origins of the financial crisis, and the impact of the crisis on law and regulation to this point. It argues that, while the financial crisis has led to a significant re-assertion of the power of states over financial markets, private financial institutions retain surprisingly robust powers and resources to advance their own interests in the global economy.
The Finnish Yearbook of International Law is published by Hart Publishing. Cohen's article can be found on pages 51-84.
Visit http://www.hartpub.co.uk/ for additional information.
Cohen, who serves as chair of Westminster's Department of Political Science, joined the faculty in 1996. He earned an undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College and master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Contact Cohen at 724-946-7304 or email for additional information.

Anguilla based dancehall recording artiste Jay Khule is kick starting the new year with the release of a hot new single entitled "Party Shot" alongside Big Yard recording artist Richie Loops.
The song which was recorded in August last year during a promotional visit by Khule to Jamaica is the first of several new records which is slated to hit the local airwaves in the coming days.
Born Jerome Reid in St. Mary Jamaica, Jay Khule has steadily been working on his craft, hitting the studios and working with producers like Adrian "Donsome" Hanson.
According to Khule "Party Shot" has been getting good reviews. "Well so far the song has been pre released in Auguilla, the U.K and a few other countries in Europe and the response has been positive so the plan now is to build a momentum in Jamaica and maybe later this year shoot a video for the track".
