It's been said that nothing in life is free. There's always a catch.
But for parents who are at home with young children, a freebie isn't just something that's nice to have. For stay-at-home, or work-at-home parents, a freebie can be a much-needed life-preserver thrown in your direction.
TimeOut for Parents is just that kind of life-preserver. Free childcare for kids five and under (infants, too). Once a month. Three hours.
Three hours, all to yourself. What could a parent do in three hours - or more accurately, what could a parent with young children at home do in three hours that they would otherwise not be able to do with kids around?
- Take a nap.
- Meet a friend for coffee and shopping.
- Get a haircut or a mani/pedi.
- Take a nap.
- Get some laundry or other housework done.
- Spend three hours in total silence.
- Take a nap.
No strings attached. No obligation necessary. No previous participation required.
Just call in, make a reservation (required, in order to maintain the appropriate number of childcare staff) and there you have it. Three hours. All. To. Yourself.
This is a gift to the community from the KidZone Children's Ministry at the Campbell Church. Staffing is provided by paid (not volunteer) workers who have had full background and fingerprint checks. They love to be with kids. They'd love to be with yours.
Now, what are you going to do with YOUR three hours of freedom?
TimeOut for Parents
Every last Friday at the Campbell Church, 9am - 12 noon.
Coming up: March 30, April 27
1075 West Campbell Avenue
Call 378-4900, x264 to make a reservation by the Monday prior.
For infants through age 5. FREE.

Just some of my notes on looking over SOA related theory.
What is "SOA"?
Service Oriented Architecture is a means of exposing business services
separately from their platform and codebase in order to provide local
and/or remote invokation of said services through abstracted data types
and signatures.
Put simply: SOA allows you to talk to alternate platforms by removing
the bespoke or language-specific features and data types to a
higher/specified representation providing interoperability between
platforms without the need for their awareness of eachother.
As a real world example, an organisation can provide interoperation
between legacy and new systems by abstracting the manner of how they
talk and the underlying content: new code can use technologies like XML
to define the data and the corresponding types and the two systems can
work together through that abstraction. This scenario is commonplace
among business where different streams are responsible for systems and
so a common format for data interchange is necessary to allow the two to
co-exist separately.
SOA also provides a more modular approach to service integration: if a
web service can "proxy" requests from one system to another, the two can
change independently without the need for related changes to the
services themselves. Such a scenario – one of proxying – can encourage
an ecosystem of services allowing each to communicate with seemingly
unrelated counterparts through a common set of data types and methods.
Benefits of SOA
Typically, the "promises" of SOA are numerous.
SOA allows for system agility
As aluded to previously, the ability for bespoke systems – those written
for specific purposes in a language of choice – to communicate with each
other allows for greater flexibility and scalability with an
organisation's data. For example, if you can have your sales systems
talking to your suppliers through an aggregation service to warn of
unusual sales volumes, out-of-stock items and so-on, you can better
support the volume of a growing business and provide real-time response
to customer needs.
Consider an organisation where a sales system cannot speak with the MI
to ascertain whether a customer on the phone holds an account with you.
Crazy, no? In scenarios like this where legacy, decades-old and
difficult to support systems hold the key to sales success but are the
hindrance to it, SLA can be leveraged to quickly and easily have the two
communicating and providing front-line departments with the information
they need.
SOA can encourage innovation
In the post-Google era, notions of service "mash-ups" are commonplace.
These newfound, new-age businesses popularised the developer by
harnessing open source technologies and building public-facing APIs: all
built on service oriented architecture. They encouraged interoperation
between seemingly unrealted entities which built a platform for
innovation and a revolution in the software industry.
If you reduce this scale and manage to accomplish this very nature
within an organisation, then new products and alternatives to existing
ones spring from innovative and organic attitudes from developers and
system integrators.

North Jefferson News
PINSON — Pinson Valley struggled somewhat against visiting Hayden in the first half, but pulled away in the second to take a 44-6 Class 5A, Region 6 victory at home Friday.
The Indians' Darius Adams scored first when he scooped up a Wildcat fumble and ran 22 yards to the end zone with 9:51 left in the opening quarter.
Neither team was able to muster any offense until early in the second quarter, when Deonta Cooper connected on a 29 yard field goal with 10:28 left in the first half.
After forcing a Hayden punt, the Indians would get to the Wildcats' 14. But that's where defensive tackle Walter Finley forced a fumble which was recovered by Hayden's Cody Colvin. The Cats then returned the favor when Josh Welch recovered a fumble on the Hayden 5-yard line.
Just before the half, Pinson's Juray Smith intercepted a Cats pass and returned it to the 16. That's when Indians standout running back Nick Gibson took over, getting his first score of the night on a 5-yard run.
After a personal-foul penalty against the Wildcats and a good kickoff return, Pinson was in business at the Hayden 49. A heavy dose of Gibson helped the Indians find paydirt on his 2-yard with 9:20 to go in the third quarter.
The Cats put the ball on the ground again on their next possession, and Pinson's Josh Barron recovered it at the 29, but Cooper missed a 26-yard field goal with 6:37 left in the third.
Hayden linebacker Reid Trimble recovered a Gibson fumble on the Indians 14, and on fourth down quarterback Tim Curry hit freshman running back Leonard Johnson for 12 yards and the sole Wildcat score with exactly two minutes left in the third.
But the Indians wasted little time in answering. Gibson capped the 66-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown run.
On the Indians next possession, quarterback Brooks Garrett hit Dylon Evans for a 40-yards score with just over eight minutes left in the game. Backup running back Tyree Watson also added a 42-yard touchdown run late in the game.
"We played a well prepared team tonight," Indians coach Matt Glover said. "Coach [Keith] Register and his staff had a great game plan, and he does a great job. We didn't play very well the first half — you can't play like that and win."
Register himself was more contemplative. "We really played hard the first half. We are trying to get better every week. Hopefully we can improve and be competitive next week," he said.
Gibson finished with 171 yards rushing on 20 carries and three touchdowns. Dylan Putnam led the Wildcats with 42 yards on 14 carries.
Wildcats left tackle Tyler Swindle was injured in the first half, came back in and played briefly, and then sat out the second half. His status is unknown.
The Indians face their biggest challenge of the season next week, as they host Clay-Chalkville, the second-ranked team in Class 4A and a 38-7 winner over Pell City on Friday. "It will be a fun game, and we get them at our place. That's why I schedule these games, to see where our program is," Glover said. "We look forward to the challenge."
The win puts Pinson Valley at 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the region, while the loss drops Hayden to 0-4, 0-3. The Cats host longtime rival Corner next week.

A specialty treat for humans comes with rewards for our furry friends. For the second year in a row, Elkhorn and Omaha Girl Scouts are teaming up with Gigi's Cupcakes to increase their business savvy while supporting animals in need of a new home.
Daisy Troop #42653 and Troop #42653 donated thin mints, caramel delites, and peanut butter patties to the West Omaha cupcake shop. Gigi's will use the cookies to create specialty cupcakes during the week of March 3-8.
A portion of the sales will go back to the troop, and they plan to pass the proceeds on to their favorite charity, the Nebraska Humane Society. Along the way, the girls have the potential to earn their "Business Owner" and "Making the World a Better Place" badges.

Kate Moss Turns Heads And Angers Animal Activists
Posted on Tue Mar 15, 2011 04:35 PM PDT
Kate Moss attended a dinner party at a pal's house in north London last night, and the supermodel looked toasty warm, but at what cost? This fur certainly doesn't look like a fake, and a rep for PETA released the following statement to X17online:
- "Given that so many glamorous, kind women, such as Eva Mendes, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Aniston, and Penelope Cruz (just to name a few), shun fur, it's surprising to see [Kate] Moss clinging to the clunky, caveman look, especially considering that she's been shown how every animal killed for her coats suffered a prolonged, painful death by beating, electrocution, or being skinned alive."
Kate is no stranger to leather or fur fashions, but oddly enough one of her recent designs for Topshop is a faux fur coat. Maybe someone could persuade her to ditch the real thing and wear something from her own line?

Pregnancy can be a wonderful time for a woman. She is embarking on a physical and emotional journey that no man will ever experience. Her body will change to support and nurture a new life.
A mother's health is closely linked to the health of her developing child. This is why, for planned pregnancies, doctors suggest that women get themselves into as good shape as possible before starting on that incredible journey.
Sexual health is a part of pregnancy health. It only makes sense, since sex is what gets you pregnant in the first place, that other conditions transmitted during sex might affect your health and the health of your baby. Sexually transmitted diseases can affect the outcome of a pregnancy in several ways. They can:
- Affect a woman's ability to carry the pregnancy to term - leading to premature labor, premature rupture of membranes (water break), or premature birth
- Infect the unborn fetus - causing illness, developmental problems, or death
- Injure the fetus without infection – some STDs increase the risk of low birth weight and other developmental problems.
- Infect the newborn at the time of birth or during breastfeeding
The effect an STD has on a woman's pregnancy depends on several factors. The biggest factor is, of course, the particular disease she is infected with. However, another very important factor is when during her pregnancy she is exposed to the disease. The developmental stage of the fetus determines how vulnerable it is to each different type of infection. Some infections only cause problems during birth, while others are most problematic in the first few weeks of a pregnancy. If you are at risk of contracting an STD during your pregnancy, you should discuss with your doctor whether you should be screened at each prenatal visit.
Sexually transmitted diseases that can affect pregnancy outcome include:
Chlamydia and Pregnancy
Gonorrhea and Pregnancy
Trichomoniasis and Pregnancy
Bacterial Vaginosis and Pregnancy
Syphilis and Pregnancy
Genital Herpes and Pregnancy
HIV and Pregnancy
Hepatitis B and Pregnancy
There are many other infections that can affect the outcome of your pregnancy that aren't sexually transmitted. You should talk to your doctor about what diseases you should be concerned about if you are pregnant or are considering becoming pregnant.

Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Kolton Browning passed for 29 touchdowns last season and rushed for 7 more.
ULM's "Funroe" offense upset a top-10 Arkansas team and made the little-known Warhawks a national story in the 2012 college football season. So what's next, and what's life like after the big upset?
The Ohio Bobcats came into the 2012 Independence Bowl as underdogs, but they had little trouble with Louisiana-Monroe, and won 45-14.
Running back Beau Blankenship broke an Independence Bowl record with four rushing touchdowns.
Louisiana-Monroe takes on Ohio in an Advocare V100 Independence Bowl match-up that promises to be a shootout. A Yankee Stadium tilt and a true battle at the Alamo are also on tap this weekend.
The SEC ran out of bowl eligible teams before filling this slot, so it sent its surrogate instead.
The biggest names on Friday are probably Rutgers and Virginia Tech, but the best game on Friday might be the Advocare V1000 Bowl between a pair of non-AQ squads in Ohio and Louisiana-Monroe.
The Virginia Tech Hokies will try to take down a team that can claim a Big East title, as they face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in one of three bowl games on Friday.
Both teams will be making their first appearance in the Independence Bowl.
The Ohio Bobcats meet the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks in Shreveport, La., for the 2012 Independence Bowl.
Most experts don't like the Ohio Bobcats' chances against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks in Friday's Independence Bowl.
The Golden Panthers tied the game in the final minute, but had a field goal blocked in overtime and lost to Louisiana-Monroe in the team's season finale.

Shaina Magdayao shared that she wants renowned Hong Kong hairstylist Gary Sun to do her haircut at their family-owned beauty salon. Since he's the new technical consultant of Ystilo, she joked about getting a free makeover one of these days. "Actually kahit trim lang, masabi lang na nagupitan niya ako," she told Push.com.ph.
Shaina recently changed her hairstyle and color, reminiscent of other female celebrities who did hair makeovers right after a breakup. But the young actress was quick to say that it wasn't to boost her self-confidence after breakup with John Lloyd Cruz, but for the sake of her fierce character in Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo. "Really? I don't think so. Siguro nag-a-apply yun sa iba pero kailangan lang talaga ng makeover ng role ko. This is the first time na nagpa-highlights ako."...

MILLEDGEVILLE — Sometimes we don't realize how much a smartphone means to daily function until it takes a destructive hit. A local small business can fix what ails any personal device quickly and professionally.
Need a Nerd, located at 120 N. Wayne St., knows that smartphones and computers are extremely important.
The outfit calls itself "Middle Georgia's No. 1 solution for all of your cell phone repair and computer repair needs."
The tech experts specialize in iPhone, smartphone, iPod, iPad, PC and Mac repairs and much more.
"If your electronic has a power button, there is a good chance we can repair it," states the business website.
Co-owner Tommy Cook credits Mark Brownlow with the Need a Nerd startup.
Brownlow approached Digital Bridges in summer 2012 searching for a small business space to handle his device repairs.
"(Brownlow's) traffic started picking up a lot since he had a physical location, where people could come and drop stuff off. He had 10 or 12 people waiting on him at the time, and we saw there was a lot of potential for growth with his business. We tried to do what we could to help him," Cook said. "That went on for about a year or so, and when we all found out Digital Bridges was going to be sun setting. Mark got a job at Georgia Military College and was going to let the Need a Nerd thing go to the side. We all approached him and asked in exchange for an ownership stake if we could pick it up and run with it."
Cook, along with other partners Colin Moore, Daniel Pittman and seed supporter David Sinclair, grabbed the banner.
The team located the North Wayne space. Cook said everyone learned how to do the necessary phone, computer and tablet repairs and began operations.

Since I've been doing a bunch of this lately – part of the reason for the texture kick the last couple of weeks – here's a tutorial from KnittingDragonflies for making textured buttons. You could totally use a texture sheet instead of drawing your design in yourself. And as she points out in her tutorial, this is an excellent way to make the perfect coordinating buttons for your knits project.

Optical absolute encoders
The ROQ/EQN 425 rotary encoder by Heidenhain is available with a solid shaft or hollow shaft with a mounted stator coupling and includes TTL and HTL signals.
Heidenhain has expanded EnDat and SSI optical absolute encoders to include additional TTL and HTL signals. The ROQ/EQN 425 rotary encoder is available with a solid shaft or hollow shaft with a mounted stator coupling.
These encoders were designed and developed for a variety of applications, starting with those in the wind energy sector. The absolute signal (EnDat or SSI) within these encoders is used to measure the pitch of the rotor blades as well as the nacelle position. The incremental signals are used (TTL or HTL) for the inverter of the motor.
These encoders are also suitable for applications utilizing decentralized drive technology. The absolute encoder can provide both position and velocity information eliminating the need for an additional encoder.

|Interrogating the Project of Military History
May 19 - More fallout from the newspaper feature on Sherman's March. Got another email two days ago, also addressed to a couple of the other historians quoted in the piece. I wrote back. I don't include the exchange here because it doesn't advance the blog's central concerns, but click here if you'd like to have a look.
Robert Lowell, "For the Union Dead"
More interesting has been a series of exchanges with a fellow interested in writing a book based on his family's Civil War experiences, which included enduring a raid by a Union force under Brig. Gen. Edward E. Potter in the closing days of the conflict. The force reached his family's home town of Sumter, South Carolina, on April 9, 1865, a few short hours after Lee surrendered at Appomattox some two hundred miles away in Virginia. Among the regiments in the force was the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, immortalized in the Saint-Gaudens relief in Boston (shown at left) and more recently in the film Glory. Then and now, the fame of the regiment rests almost entirely on its involvement in the attack on Battery Wagner outside Charleston, South Carolina, on July 18, 1863. The action at Battery Wagner helped confirm the fighting effectiveness of African American troops even though it failed and took the lives of Col. Robert Shaw and nearly one hundred of the six hundred troops who made the attack.*
By the time of Potter's raid, however, the attack upon Battery Wagner lay nearly two years in the past. By this time the Union army contained over 180,000 African American soldiers and many of these U.S. Colored Troops were playing roles in the war far more consequential than the 54th Massachusetts, which throughout its service remained in the Department of the South (South Carolina, coastal Georgia, and Florida), a region in which military operations were comparatively minor.
The raid was the final action of the war for the 54th Massachusetts; indeed, one of the last military operations of the conflict, period. It took place in the backwash of Sherman's march through South Carolina--Sherman's army was by then at Raleigh, North Carolina, having passed through South Carolina in February. The line of Sherman's march cut across the central part of the state (see map 1, above), and bypassed a large area to the east. In mid-March, although the port city of Charleston had surrendered to Union forces, the rest of this area was potentially still available to sustain continued Confederate resistance.
At that time, Sherman was rapidly closing in on Richmond-Petersburg, where for nine months Grant had kept Lee (partially) besieged (see map 2, above). A force of about 20,000 Confederate troops under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, which was slowly being reinforced by more troops arriving from Mississippi (e.g., Cheatham), barred the way. But 25,000 additional Union troops were pushing in from the North Carolina coast to join Sherman's main body of 60,000. It was very clearly just a matter of weeks, if not days, before Lee and Johnston would likely combine forces in a desperate bid to destroy either Sherman or Grant before the two Union commanders to link up.
Alternatively, or a result of defeat, Lee and Johnston might try escaping toward the west. Since Sherman had simply marched through Georgia and South Carolina and had left no garrisons, he controlled those states no more than a moving ship controls the ocean in its wake. Therefore, if the Confederate armies could elude the trap Grant and Sherman were trying to set for them and succeed in reaching the Deep South, the war could continue for many more months.
Accordingly, Sherman saw a need to continue the destruction of infrastructure in South Carolina. On March 15 he wrote Maj. Gen. Quincy A. Gillmore, commanding the Department of the South, that he knew a "vast amount of rolling-stock"--that is, train engines and rail-cars--lay between Sumter (he called it "Sumterville") and Florence. He wanted it destroyed. More importantly:
|All real good soldiers must now be marching. Do not let your command rest on its oars, but keep them going all the time, even if for no other purpose than to exhaust the enemy's country, or compel him to defend it. The simple fact that a man's home has been visited by an enemy makes a soldier in Lee's and Johnson's army very anxious to get home to look after his family and property. But the expedition I have indicated to Sumterville and Florence has even higher aims. Those cars and locomotives should be destroyed, if to do it costs you 500 men. I know you can get there all the bacon, beef, meat, &c., your command may want, and a good deal of corn meal. The men could march without knapsacks, with a single blanket, and carry eight days' provisions, which, with what is in the country, will feed the command two weeks. Let it be done at once. . . . After destroying those cars and engines (not merely damaging them, but an absolute destruction of boilers, steam chambers, connecting rods, flanges, &c.)--powder can be used to good advantage in blowing up boilers and engines, but we use cold chisels and crowbars--you may reduce your garrisons to the minimum, and send every man [by sea] to New Berne and Goldsborough [North Carolina]. I want to collect an army that can whip Lee in open fight if he lets go Richmond, which I think he will soon be forced to do." (Official Records Series I, vol. 47. pt. 2, p. 857)
Notice six things about Sherman's order:
First, the importance Sherman attached to the destruction of the rolling stock--Gillmore was to destroy it if it cost twenty percent casualties (500 out of the 2,500 men Sherman had estimated earlier in his letter the mission would require);
Second, the psychological blow aimed at Confederate soldiers by this "visit"--one might as well say "threat"--to their families and homes;
Third, the expectation that the raiders would secure almost half their provisions from the countryside;
Fourth, the detailed advice concerning the best way to destroy rolling stock, based on Sherman's extensive experience;
Fifth, the ultimate objective of taking advantage of this destruction to nullify the need to keep extensive forces in South Carolina, thereby freeing up thousands of reinforcements for the ultimate showdown somewhere between Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia;
And sixth, the complete absence of any advice or warning about the possibility that some troops, on such a raid, would loot and pillage--an issue with which, like the dismantling of rolling stock, Sherman also had extensive experience.
In future entries I want to use Potter's raid as microcosm of Sherman's brand of "hard war," and to examine it from several contexts: how it compares with similar operations in the history of war; how well it squares with the laws and usages of war as they existed in 1865 and as they presently exist; how it affected Southern civilians--both the Southern whites, who wound up feeding Potter's troops and enduring their presence, and the 6,000 Southern blacks who, we shall see, were liberated in the course of it. I also want to look at the ways in which this brand of warfare has been remembered. Finally, I want to look at the way historians have interpreted the man at the heart of this--Sherman--particularly the connection between his personality and his style of war.
* Fifty-four were killed or fatally wounded. Another forty-eight were never accounted for; I suspect most of these either died in the battle or were killed soon afterward.

HT: Jennifer Juniper via Facebook.
I have no comment to offer either. I do not believe any is possible.
Oh, boy. Thanks for that, Martin. I will be giggling like a schoolgirl for the rest of the night now.
The handwriting says it all. I'm surprised that she didn't use the standard backwards 's' that little kids use to evoke sympathy on their lemonaid stands.
Wow.. I wonder if she actually wrote that or if it was a 4 year old. The penmanship is hilarious.
Is there some more innocent meaning of the word "teabagging" that would explain this?
Well, that would depend on how elastic your definition of the word "innocent" is.Warning: once you click the link, you will never be able to unlearn the information there.
Oh come on. You know she'd do it if he asked.@pinkydead: No, but the whole "tea party" thing was dubbed "teabagging" by liberal commentators like Olbermann, etc as a crack at how stupid it is. I guess this lady didn't figure that part out.
Yes cause Jesus had so much to say about American political process.
Sparrowhawk: A little clarification: the first appearance in the media of the phrase teabagging was the photo of a Freeper's sign at a tea party in this Washington Independent article. This sign, unlike the lady's above, was probably created with a full awareness of the meaning of the term. But that didn't stop folks like Olbermann, Maddow, Anderson Cooper, and Wonkette from running with it. Naturally the tea party crowd have been huffing and puffing in faux indignation at the crude liberal media resorting to fratboy humor to mock their rallies, etc., but you have to know they love it. Any attention is good attention when you're on the political fringe.
Teabagging for Jesus… Now that's the kind of evangelism I can get into.
Religious people should just stay out of everything because once they take a side it makes it really hard for that side to be taken seriously.
Martin, Pinkydead seemed to know the sexual meaning of the word, she was asking whether there was a non-sexual meaning that she wasn't aware of.
I teabag against Jesus. My wife participates, and my cat watches. That's three of us against you alone, granny.We Win.
That made my day. A little observation: this might actually be Biblically acurate, depending of the interpretation one makes of the relationship between Jesus and his apostle John. Maybe teabagging is exactly what Jesus did.
"I teabag against Jesus. My wife participates, and my cat watches. That's three of us against you alone, granny."The Hole-y trinity.
Oh thankyou martin, that made my day, particularly since I had never come across the term 'teabagging' before. When I read your link I started giggling like a school girl!
Martin I think that the warning should have been before the link and you are right I will NEVER be able to unlearn that info.

On New Years Eve in Philadelphia, Avery Rosewater will play with The War on Drugs and Purling Hiss, two Philly bands that specialize in sculpting huge, scuzzed out rock songs while teasing out emotional moments from the heart of a burnout. It's not exactly slacker rock, but it's not far off either. In "Havana," there's a sort of half-asleep aura to the whole track, so when the guitars rise out of the organ murk for a simple but pretty guitar solo, it feels like gasping for a breath of fresh air, and then going back under. The best way to describe music like this is "cavernous." It'll put some meat on your bones too.

Sierra Nevada Corporation - Space Systems
Next Giant Leap team member, Sierra Nevada Space Systems, is changing how we explore and use space. The Space Systems business area of Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) was established in 2009 with the combination of SNC subsidiary, MicroSat Systems, SpaceDev, which was acquired by SNC in late 2008, and Starsys which was acquired by SpaceDev in 2006. MicroSat Systems, SpaceDev, and Starsys have a combined twenty year history in space, providing hardware for over 300 Earth orbiting and interplanetary missions. SNC Space Systems designs and manufactures satellites, spacecraft subsystems and components, and rocket propulsion systems for defense, civil government, corporate and international customers. We also provide customers with innovative, responsive, and cost effective design options for power systems, avionics, lightweight structures, and human spacecraft systems. SNC Space Systems products have made space exploration a success. Our spacecraft components have been on multiple interplanetary missions including the actuators and motors that power the Mars Rovers, and our hybrid rocket technologies powered the first commercial spaceplane to sub-orbital space. We are changing how we use space by building innovative, lower cost satellites like TacSat 2 and Trailblazer, the first Operationally Responsive Space satellite, and by creating advanced miniaturized avionics, thin-film solar arrays, and lightweight composite structures for spacecraft of the future. We have a skilled and experienced technical workforce of over 250 employees in our 4 major locations: Littleton, Colorado: Small satellite design and development Louisville, Colorado: Spacecraft mechanical subsystems, components, deployable structures, and satellite manufacturing Durham, North Carolina: Spacecraft electro-mechanical components, motors and actuators Poway, California: Hybrid propulsion and small satellite design The videos below highlight some of the capabilities incorporated into SNC Space Systems.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Six UWM films to be presented at Cannes
Six films from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee film department have been selected to be part of the Cannes Film Festival, which starts Wednesday and runs through May 27.
The films are part of the Court Metrage, or short film corner.
And two UWM students were selected as interns at the American pavilion, the first time the state has been represented in the post in 23 years.
The films being presented are;
- Faculty member Dick Blau's "A Polish Easter in Chicago," in which the holiday ritual is captured in a series of slow dissolves;
- "Somewhere in Between," by Kellie Bronkowski, chronicling her father's last years;
- "Nowhere and Everywhere," by Giorgi Mrevlishvili, a native of Tbilisi;
- "The End," by Julie Wolterstorff, a "peaceful and disturbing" dream-like vision;
- "3 Miles East, by Samuel Karow, about the filmmaker inheriting his grandfather's greehouse business;
- And "Periphery," by recently graduated Jon Phillips, a 6 minute psychological thriller set in a classroom.
You can watch clips from "Polish Easter," "Somewhere In Between," "3 Miles East," and "The End" below.
The American pavilion interns are Brian McGuire and Gregory Bishop. They will have the opportunity to see films and talk to filmmakers.
UWM has a highly regarded film department and last year was named one of the top 25 film schools in the world by the Hollywood Reporter.

It is a holiday that is all about tradition. We gather with family and friends around a Thanksgiving meal with the sole purpose of being together and taking stock of all for which we are grateful.
For many, there will be home-cooked turkey with all the trimmings. Others opt for a vegetarian, ethnic-inspired or fully-catered feast-even a trip to thier favorite restaurant. Some watch the Macy's Day parade in its entirety, play a rigorous game of touch football or challenge each other at Scrabble.
The yearly holiday ritual becomes family memory and lore, where guests take comfort (most of the time) in its predictability.
Christine Archina said it would not be Thanksgiving without "cranberry meatballs." She has eaten them on the holiday for as long as she can remember. "They are a great appetizer or side dish," Archina says. "We make them every year." (she shares her recipe below).
Thanksgiving starts on Wednesday night for Laurie Lewis and her family. Their tradition is to hold "Big Sandwich Night" on the evening before the busy day of cooking. A six-foot sub is ordered in and the extended family joins together to begin holiday festivities.
And for the Levinger-Louie family their ritual is family gift-giving on Thanksgiving Day. "We come from different religions and do not celebrate Christmas," says Lisa Levinger. "So this is a great opportunity to exchange gifts—the kids receive small presents and the grown-ups often give charitable donations in the receiver's name. We will do a huge coat exchange this year too."
Warm and lovely as the big day can be, it can also cause some uneasy feelings.
"Holiday times are notoriously stressful-they are fueled by expectations, apprehension and even feelings of longing for a sense of togetherness," says Jane Kuniholm, a Mount Kisco-based psychotherapist. She says that old family dynamics often get played out at these yearly gatherings.
Her advice is to think ahead of time about what things you can do to diffuse any tensions. "Maybe invite a new friend or family to the table to lighten things up," she suggests. "Keep an open mind and heart without elevating expectations."
She added that something as simple as putting on great music for all to enjoy together can be wonderful. "Why not put on the Beatles and dance together?"
Whatever your tradition may be, best wishes for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving Day.
Please share your favorite Thanksgiving Day traditions in the comments below.
Archina Family's Cranberry Meatballs
2 eggs
½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 ½ lbs. lean ground beef
1 16-oz. can whole berry cranberry sauce
¾ cup ketchup
½ cup beef broth
3 tbsp. brown sugar
3 tbsp. finely chopped onion
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
In a bowl, combine eggs, soup mix, bread crumbs, cranberries and parsley. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Yields app. 3 dozen. Fry in pan until brown.
In saucepan, sauté onion, and combine sauce ingredients, stirring until thick. Serve meatballs and sauce together.

Is anyone really paying the published rate to park near the airport anymore? There are so many coupons out there for airport parking lots (and many of them accept competitor coupons) that I am somewhat amazed when some people pay the posted rate. Hotels and motels are similar; no one pays the 'rack rate' at a motel anymore. If you don't shop around for a discount, you could easily pay $20 or $30 more per night than you have to.
On the other hand, coupons can be a burden. There are just so many coupons around; coupons for groceries, coupons for restaurants, coupons for car washes and oil changes. . . . They arrive in the mail, they are in the newspaper, they are in magazines, and, of course, they are online. I admit, I use coupons. I am not a fanatic about it, but I know I save a few hundred dollars a year by using them. My guess is that some of you, whether you are visitors or residents, wouldn't mind saving a few bucks on some things you'll be doing anyway, like going out to eat, or buying groceries, or visiting some local attractions. Of course, you could spend many frustrating hours clicking around the Internet to get to the myriad of coupon sites out there, only to find that the available coupon is for a radiator flush, or a fifth hot air balloon ride if you buy four more. Not too valuable for most people and very time consuming. So I have put together a few recommendations for online coupons and bargains that I believe are worthwhile.
Restaurant.com (Buy Direct)
Just enter your zip code, find a great coupon, pay, and print it off on your computer. No postage, no waiting. Pay close attention to restrictions on meals, such as minimum dollar requirements, times available. I personally use this service. (Buy Direct)
I've also compiled a list of 15 restaurants with discount offers at Restaurant.com for a special occasion, a date, to take a visiting relative or even to give as a gift.
Groupon (Buy Direct)
Groupon offers many opportunities for savings on local products and services. I have personally used Groupon for restaurants, car washes, admissions to attractions and even a few products. Make sure you read the deal page for restrictions which are clearly indicated. For example, some restaurant deals may only be available on certain days or for certain mealtimes.
A coupon network made up of local businesses in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. There is no charge for coupons.
ValPak is the company that send you those packages of twenty or so coupons for local businesses in the mail every month. Well, if you threw them away or misplaced them, you can get them online. Just enter your zip code.
GolfNow.com (Buy Direct)
If golf is your game, you have many courses from which to choose in the Greater Phoenix area. GolfNow.com offers discounted rates at more than 100 Arizona golf courses. The best deals are always in the afternoon -- beware of summer heat. While not all the premier golf courses in the area participate in GolfNow.com, and some of the courses are the ones for which there is not much demand, there are many fine, challenging and beautiful courses on the list, arranged geographically. Read the rules: tee times arranged online are not refundable, and there is a small convenience charge for using the service.
Both Scorebig.com and Goldstar.com are ticket consolidators. Unlike ticket brokers who often sell tickets to the highest bidder, these companies offer tickets to local performances and events at a discount. Check here for a few recent deals I saw at Goldstar.com and ScoreBig.com.
Aside from regular coupon sites, there are the ones that I call Daily Deal programs. Sign up and you'll receive daily or periodic emails with discount deals for products and services around the Phoenix metro area. Some are for restaurants, some are for spas or salons, some are for local activities, others are for miscellaneous products and services. You'll typically get half price for whatever the deal of the day is, and you can usually print the certificate from your computer. Companies in this category are Lunch Club, Deal Chicken and others. Check them out here.

Dear Dana,
I want to make my hair ombre, but I have really dark hair. What should I do? Any advice?
Ombre is perfect for dark hair! To make a more modern look, stay away from the ends being too light. A more golden blonde and lighter chestnut brown is easier to achieve, and it's a softer version of last year's ombre craze. Make sure the highlights aren't done in the roots, but have a few face framing pieces to connect the ombre and brighten your skin tone. You could also try copper tones. Rich, more warm tones work well with a cool skin color.
There are a few ways to approach ombre hair. It makes a difference if you have dark brown hair, and if you've ever colored your hair. If your hair has been previously colored, the ombre trend may be trickier.
For Already Colored Hair: Ask your colorist realistically how light they think they can make the bottom of your hair. They will have to use bleach, so make sure your hair is strong enough. Try strengthening your hair by doing masks once a week, for 20 minutes to get hair back into good shape. The stronger and healthier your hair, the easier and more nicely the color will lift. If the ends are damaged, the color will only lift to orange, and then break. Also, colorists do a gloss after the highlights, but that gloss won't help if your hair is too broken. I suggest the Shu Uemura Hydrating Mask once a week and Sally Hershberger Keratin Spray daily. The product is light in your hair but has cashmere to keep hair silky and keratin to keep ombre smooth and shiny.
After you discuss your hair history of coloring, consider hair texture. If you never blow your hair smooth, ombre may not work for you. If you throw ombre colored hair into a bun ever day, it won't enhance your look. Ombre will basically just give you the same dark hair, with a yellow bun. If you wear your hair down, then you're a good candidate. That way, ombre will enhance your look, give your hair a little sexiness , and brighten your skin tone.
Your haircut is a key component to ombre. For best results, you should have some layers. The ombre highlighting should be on the tips of the ends of the layers. If you have all one length hair, you can have ombre, but make sure the line is softened because you don't want a straight block of blonde. A more modern ombre should gradually get lighter, so that just the tips are blondest.
Tone is another important consideration when going ombre. The process is done with the same product all over the hair: Bleach. How you apply can make it more or less light, so you want to make sure you can help elimate brassy hair after you leave the salon. When you lighten any brown hair, it pulls out a lot of red pigment. No brunettes like to have red in their hair, so make sure to get a "ash" gloss to get the coolest results. To keep the neutral look, use Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo. The purple will cancel out the orange color, and this is best for warm skin tones. More fair skinned can pull off a warmer ombre. The combination of deep chestnuts and dark golden blondes can be beautiful and sexy.
Make sure that before you start the ombre process, you explain exactly what you want to your colorist. Whether you want a solid ombre, a more subtle ombre, or you hate red, if you communicate with your colorist, you'll leave the salon much happier.
Hair colorist Dana Ionato graduated college with a degree in public relations and relocated to New York City to further her studies at the Aveda Institute with hopes of eventually opening her own spa. Planning to immerse herself in the business side of the beauty industry, it was actually the creative component that sparked Dana's interest and she quickly developed a passion for the art and science of coloring. Dana apprenticed at Rita Hazan where she assisted top colorists and worked with celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears. Under the tutelage of one of the French master colorists, Dana perfected the art of Balayage, a modern "hair painting" technique that allows her to produce natural, dimensional color without foils. With her cheery disposition and her remarkable attention to detail, Dana is the colorist to watch at Sally Hershberger Downtown.
Comments (
Hey, I have a problem as well. I really want to have ombre hair, I've been coloring it ombre since February but I can't emphasize the transition enough since my hair is naturally a but darker at the roots and it fades toward the end. Do you think it would work if I just colored the roots darker?
yes if you have layers and you twist curl the hair all over with a straightener and bend curl the pieces making it beachy looking.
Okay so I also want the ombre look, but I dont know how it would come out since my hair is two toned. The colors of my hair is brown and sandy brown and I want light brown highlights going into a honey blonde ending a lighter blonde, some thing like Keke Palmers. I don't Know how this would look on me considering I don't know that much about hair coloring. . . I need advice please and fast I plan on getting this done tomorrow.
I want to do blue ombre look but my hair is a dark brown. Will this effect my look if i do ombre. Also i have thin hair, so will it work or not?
It's really very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, therefore I only use internet for that reason, and get the most up-to-date news.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it.
You are so cool! I don't believe I've read
through anything like that before. So great to find
another person with some unique thoughts on this issue. Seriously.
. thank you for starting this up. This website is one thing that is required on the internet, someone with a little originality!
I would like to know if ombre would look good on short hair i dont see any pictures, Thank you Julia
I have dyed light to mid brown hair with slight red undertones BUT my natural colour is a beautiful ashy almost gray blonde. I have ombred my fringe (bang) area and it looks quite good but too scared to do the rest as I am afraid of orange. I absolutely HATE orange with a vengeance and I hate ginger… any advice on how to do a good ombre?
[…] sure your hair texture and styling history will support ombre bleaching, especially if you have darker hair, which will result in an orange tint at the ends that will simply break […]
[…] Everywhere you look these days, the ombre trend is incredibly apparent. From clothing to nail art to hair, ombre is here and evidently here to stay. Last week, we decided to hit up the local beauty supply store and brave the world of at-home hair coloring. Though a little nervous at the beginning, the end result has been getting compliments left and right. We wanted to share the experience with you and hopefully give you the boost of confidence you need to know that you can do it yourself! […]

Our Take on Your Take
Our picks of your pics
A bride, a groom, a cow, a cigarette and a big wedding
This week two separate photographers,
View this week's You Witness slideshow here.
It's so nice to see a cow looking festive. That's exactly the way I want the cows to look at my wedding…
This is a stunning image, the sort of photo I dream of capturing. The composition and timing are perfect.
As a women, I don't particularly like this photograph. I imagine there is a reason why the woman and the cow keep equal distance BEHIND the man. Argh!
I would hate being the woman. He seems more in love with the cow than her!
Who did the Cows outfit? I just HAVE to know!
As a *woman* (because I'm only one person, unlike the several that your use of "women" portrays), I'm constantly disappointed that people can not only turn a simple photograph that celebrates a moment quite beautifully, can not only point out a sexist, racist, or other "degrading" quality that they see, but when the do so, post their comments with total disregard for the fact that incorrect spelling and grammar only lower themselves – and the group they claim to represent – even further. If you want to fight for equal rights of any group, the easiest way to do so is to become blind to the differences. I am a woman engineer who works in the trucking industry and have always been interested in cars and the biggest difference I have found between myself and people with your way of thinking is that instead of being the first to notice that I am the only female in the room, I'm the last.

The Town of Oyster Bay is prepared for what ever comes over the next 24 hours as a winter storm closes in on Syosset and the rest of Long Island.
There are widespread predictions for possible snow fall across Long Island and concerns for high winds and coastal flooding. There is also a chance it will be too warm to leave anything but rain in its wake, forecasters said.
Related: See the detailed Syosset storm forecast here.
Town of Oyster Bay crews worked Wednesday preparing their fleet of snow plows and sanders in the event of snow and ice, said Marta Kane, a town spokeswoman. Crews were finishing up their preparations Wednesday afternoon and had plenty of salt and sand on hand, she said.
In addition, town crews made special efforts to clear debris from the South Shore communities nearest the water, fearing the associated issues with high winds, Kane said. South Shore communities are still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Sandy in October.
"The numbers haven't changed too much since the last storm," she said. "We've pretty lucky so far this year in terms of the weather and have plenty of salt and sand on hand."
"We're ready," she added.

Wilbur wins
Chapel Hill resident Noah Jens, 9, raced the winning worm,
Wilbur, at the Woolly Worm Festival on Sunday in downtown Banner Elk. Tradition dictates that
the winning worm serves as a winter weather forecaster based on the lengths of the worm's
orange-and-black segments. According to Jim Morton, the festival founder, we face a cold winter with
moderate snow. Jens received a $1,000 prize. Photo by Bruce Morrison
