3 - number of NFL players DLS has currently
5 - number of NFL players DLS has alltime
5 - number of NFL players Lake Highlands (Texas) has currently (Lake Highlands is not even very good really)
You don't get it - DLS is not dependent upon talent who will be in the NFL someday. 20% of USC's National Championship team went o-fer against DLS in high school. DLS linemen at 6'1" 215 ALWAYS dominate future NFL linemen who are 40-80 lbs heavier. It IS the system & coaching, not recruiting, or anything else. Superior coaching and execution at the high school level win over "future NFLers" every day at DLS. DLS never trailed, and dominated Long Beach Poly in a home/home series. LBP has put more players in the NFL than any other high school in the nation.
I am not very impressed with the opponents DLS has faced. See my note below about DLS never having even played a Texas team.
Furthermore, I am the one who posted the story above & started this thread. I am very impressed with DLS's program and specifically Bob Ladouceur. I will give them & him the props they deserve. It's a question of how much props they deserve. I posted this story because I found it interesting and admirable.
17 - margin of victory for Longview (Texas) vs. 2003 DLS opponent ECA (Evangel Christian Academy, Louisiana) Longview 43, ECA 26 note: ECA was home team & Longview went on to lose in the first round of the playoffs. You see, they played Texas teams
17 - margin of victory for DLS vs. ECA (DLS 27, ECA 10) note: ECA was the road team
DLS dominated from the get go, sat on the clock in the 2nd half, and took a knee for the final 1:45 at the 1 yard line. ECA stated that they were the best team they had ever faced.
Like I said, Longview was a first round exit. Longview beat ECA the year before as well. The point I was making is, a good Texas team that is far from the best Texas had to offer whipped up on a common opponent of DLS's. You can look at that two ways. Either, ECA was not nearly as good as in years past, thus meaning DLS strength of schedule is weaker. Or, the fact that Longview was not (far from) the best Texas had to offer last year, means the best would have destroyed ECA, making DLS's 17 point margin look like a close game. Reality is, it's a little bit of both. I know what happened in the ECA DLS game. If you look above, you will see the story from the game posted.
151 - number of wins DLS has during "the streak"
5 - number of UNANIMOUS National Championships DLS has during the streak.
4 - number of consecutive national championships DLS has during the streak.
You must be a really big fan of NCAA football. You love polls to decide your national championship. There is a reason why it is called the mythical national championship. At least that's what we call it here in Texas. Truth is, DLS had the streak for many years before winning the "National Championship". With polls, the first place team has to lose to lose their first place spot. I would have to suggest that, because of the streak itself they have won those championships. How many voters have never even seen DLS play?
0 - number of times DLS has played a team from Texas during "the streak"
0 - number of wins Texas teams have vs. DLS during the streak.
0 - number of times DLS has played a team from Texas during "the streak"
0 - number of times DLS has played a team from Texas alltime
0 - number of times Texas teams have played DLS alltime.
0 - number of times DLS has played a team from Texas alltime
Did I mentioned DLS has never played a Texas team, ever? In Texas, we fear no one. We also don't feel we have to prove ourselves to anyone either.
Never up, never in. You will never win if you don't get on the field. Looks like your excuses are well prepared.
You will never win (against a team from Texas) if you don't get on the field. Looks like your excuses are made up on the fly.
DLS has played teams from Hawaii to Louisiana, from San Diego to Seattle (04).
If you're so good, challenge them & end the streak. Until then, they will continue to be the unanimous #1 in the nation. At least Lobofan says Bring 'em on! That's what DLS loves a challenge - and they haven't missed in 12 years.
You must have missed that last part. Here it is again. Read it this time. "In Texas, we fear no one. We also don't feel we have to prove ourselves to anyone either."
Super B - big hat, no cattle.
Whatever. Remember, you are the defensive one, not me. I could care less what people think about DLS. I have my opinion. Nothing anyone says will change that. If DLS steps up & plays a team from Texas, we will see, & it will be settled on the field. Until then, it remains a matter of debate.

1. "balls" to debate? Spare me, it takes no balls to get on an anonymous internet message board and beat your hollow chest. If you think that is balls, you must think that chess is a contact sport.
2. DLS has the best coaching staff ever assembled in High School football. Specifically Ladauceur and Eidson. Ladauceur is 5-time USA Today coach of the year, and inducted in the High School Football Hall of Fame. They do not recruit, offer scholarships, or draw from all over California. They are an outstanding, but modest private school. Their focus is excellence in all aspects of student life. They are not even a "football school". That must really chap your asses. That a non-"football school" gets more national attention than all Texas schools combined. Yeah, if I were in your shoes, I'd be pissed too.
3. I guess until somebody knocks them off their perch, they will continue to be #1. Suggest you get in line, it is a long line getting longer. If you don't, you'll all be doing this same whining 10 years from now. They are the unanimous champions. If you want some of their limelight, suggest you get off your butts. At least the teams from Mater Dei (2 time National Champions), Long Beach Poly (25 D1 recruits - most ever on one squad), St. Louis, HI (20 or so time state champs) and Bellevue, WA (3-time state champs) had the "balls" (to use your term) to step up to the plate and take them on. Every team that their **** waxed by DLS said they would end the streak, just as you do. Those teams are now the biggest DLS fans, as they saw they are the real deal. You'll never get it until you see it with your own eyes. I'm not suggesting you are dumb, just ill-informed.
4. DLS ranking is due to the fact that every pollster has seen them. Yes polls are tough. Don't you find it curious that EVERY POLL has DLS at #1 - EVERY-SINGLE-POLL!!! Not just one, two, but EVERY ONE!! Wow, what an amazing coincidence. #1 is the only place that they all agree. How has every pollster seen them? National TV (ESPN). Major regional coverage (Fox Sports SoCal) avail by satellite around the US.
5. To judge a team by their Frosh and JV teams is unwise. The DLS system takes them as average freshmen, and turns them into a machine of a team by their Jr. and Sr. years. DLS Frosh and JV teams have never been dominant. That should suggest to you that DLS is not taking the best talent in Calif. They develop it. I assure you that if Ladauceur and Eidson were at a Texas school, that school would be #1, not DLS. It is ALL ABOUT Lad & Eidson.
Now, waiting to hear you tell me about how everything is Texas is bigger...

DLS is the only school worthy of bieng ranked nationally that many polsters ever see more than maybe one highlight a year, it is only natural that a team with so many wins is numbver one, they are the only school many have seen. I doubt many polsters could even say which part of Texas, that Galena Park is in, but I bet they all know exactly where DLS is, and could name several of their coaches.

Football is king in Texas. The best teams in the nation will always be in Texas until some other state decides to meet one of us in a neutral location and duke it out. Some tried and most failed.
Did you see what Longview did to Evangel Christian? The same would have happened to DeLaSalle.
When DeLaSalle can stop playing cupcake teams (come on, schedule a TOUGH Texas team for crying out loud!!) and schedule teams at the caliber of Ennis, GPNS, Ryan, and Longview, they will get more recognition from us high school football analysts.
Until then, DLS can WOW(!!!) people with their little streak, but I will always call 'fraud' until they play a TOP Texas team.
I would also have to disagree with your analysis of DLS ALWAYS(!!) being #1 in everyone's poll. Two polls (can't remember off the top of my head) had Ennis ranked #1, followed by DLS last year. Ennis got knocked out of the playoffs because we actually have competition down here.
I guess some people are actually waking up.....
Don't be surprised if more pollsters wake up next year as well.

As for Elvis, this started as a nice discussion and you and some members have let it get away. This trash talk is rediculous. Yes, DLS has many accolades and would appear to be the best team. A streak like that will do it for you. Mr. Elvis, Ive begun to look at this forum as my home and I dont like people spraying crap in my house, especially out of towners. Consider this a warning. This was a very civil post, as should be on this board. And it will be the last one if you wanna keep taking crap. If you want to continue a reasonable discussion, go ahead.

I think Burnet could have smacked DLS depending on DLS' running game.

Waco?I'd like for the DLS coach to schedule any of the following teams for next year:
Until then, they don't cut it with me.
- Lufkin
- Tyler Lee
- John Tyler
- Longview
- Galena Park North Shore
- Southlake Carroll
- Ennis
- Waco
- Temple

Where is Arl. Lamar, Trinity, Dallas Carter etc.... Lamar did beat Temple, and soundly too( 17 points). No offense meant, but why those teams?
I would not have a list of about 10 schools DLS should play, cause there are probably 50+ schools in Texas that could beat DLS.

New Hartford >> Women's history will be the focus of the New Hartford Historical Society's Prominent Women of New Hartford event on Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
The event will include a presentation of the many women from New Hartford in the mid 1800s to 1900s, who made a significant impact not only in their time but also in the present day from opera singers to authors.
The women recognized will be opera singers Teresa Stich-Randall, Clara Louise Kellogg and Alma Gluck, authors Marcia Davenport, Julie Palmer Smith and Nelia Gardner White and other prominent women Chloe Langston Hughes and Lillian Ludlam.
"These women made many contributions in their fields," said Patrick Casey, Historical Society member. "The focus will be to explain who were they and what their accomplishments were to receive all sorts of recognition."
Yet despite the praise and recognition for the handful of women presented, many more made their mark.
"These not the only women that made strides back then," Casey said.
The idea to appreciate the many women from the local town, who made a difference in their time period, stemmed from lots of research and the realization that many of the women's houses and artifacts are located right in town.
"The opera singers and author's work are still out there," said Casey.
Since the women's work are all around town, the hope is that the public will appreciate and enjoy looking at a piece of the past.
An exhibit opening in November will continue the "Prominent Women of New Hartford" event with continued presentations and an artifact display of the women's work whether it is opera recordings or books. Continued...
The event and exhibit is co-sponsored by the New Hartford Women's Club as they donated $300 to make the historical presentations possible.
Refreshments and wine will be served to the public during the event.

Buy Intel Already It Is Undervalued
Alvin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) is an undervalued technology beast. There is no other way to put it. The company designs top notch chips that power servers, laptops, desktop computers, and mobile devices. The following table sums up Intel's performance in the last twelve months.
Intel | Q2 2012 | Q1 2012 | Q4 2011 | Q3 2011 | Total |
Revenue (billions $) | 13.5 | 12.9 | 13.9 | 14.3 | 54.6 |
As shown, Intel has a trailing twelve months EPS of $2.40. At the current stock price of $23.18, Intel has a PE ratio of 9.66. A PE of 9.66 is a ridiculously low price for a company that will no doubt continue to dominate the semiconductor industry and likely exist as long as modern human civilization. Additionally, Intel has a tangible book value per diluted share of $6.42. Tangible book value is the same as book value, but it strips away intangible assets like goodwill and brand name. While intangible assets have value, they are difficult to price because they are not physical assets.
A simple analysis that can be used to evaluate Intel is to calculate a rate of return (rate of return = EPS / (Stock Price - Tangible Book Value Per Share)). Rate of return is just a simple manipulation of the present value equation for a perpetuity. Anyway, applying the rate of return equation, Intel has a return of about 14%. Since the US 30 year bond has a yield of about 3%, it is clear that Intel has an above average return. A supporting analysis that can be used is simple payback, which is the number of years it would take to earn the original investment cost. Simple payback is just the inverse of the rate of return equation. Taking the inverse of 14%, one gets a simple payback of about seven years. Since a PE (almost equal to simple payback) of 15 is usually considered normal, seven years is really good.
Investors, who are dubious of Intel as an investment, are probably concerned about Intel's lower guidance and the impact of mobile devices. In Q2 2012, Intel CEO Paul Otellini warned, "As we enter the third quarter, our growth will be slower than we anticipated due to a more challenging macroeconomic environment." Additionally, on September 7, Intel further lowered its guidance to $13.2 billion, plus or minus $300 million. Comparing the revenue guidance to Q3 2011, the guidance is lower so the EPS will likely be lower as well.
However, according to Intel the lower guidance is the result of a challenging macroeconomic environment. Looking at the continuing debt crisis in Europe and the economic problems here in the US, it is easy to see why Intel is facing a slowdown. However, Intel and the computing world will still be around when the global economy recovers. If the economy never recovers, then a bad investment in Intel will probably be the least of investors' worries.
The effect of mobile devices on Intel is a completely different story. Mobile device sales are booming while PC shipments are stagnant. In Q2, smartphone and tablet shipments grew by 42.2% and 66.2% year over year, respectively. Meanwhile, PC shipments declined by 0.1% year over year. The traditional PC giants, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Intel, are almost insignificant in the mobile device market. In smartphones, Windows has a 3.5% market share. The smartphone market is dominated by Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iOS. Android and iOS have market shares of 68.1% and 16.9%, respectively. The tablet market is not much different, except it is dominated by Apple (IDC).
Intel's archenemy, in all of this, is ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH). ARM currently owns 95% of the smartphone market and Apple used the ARM architecture for its newest iPad. Basically, ARM has an army of licensees. However, Intel has a fast approaching ally, Windows 8. Microsoft has integrated a full touch screen GUI into Windows 8, making it a suitable OS for tablets. This is huge for Intel.
On its release, Windows 8 will come in two versions: Windows 8 for x86 and Windows RT for ARM. However, Windows RT will only be sold to OEMs, has no Windows legacy support, and is really only meant for tablets. On the other hand, Windows 8 will support Windows legacy programs so Intel will have the advantage. Also, Windows 8 might launch the era of touch screen PCs, which would spur PC upgrades and boost Intel's profits.
Moreover, Intel is not that far back in thermal design power (TDP) from ARM. The Lava XOLO X900 is powered by Intel's Medfield Atom. The device holds its own against cutting edge smartphones and is in the middle of the pack in normalized battery life. Lastly, Intel has a huge advantage in process technology. Intel already has FinFET capability, while its competition is still on planar transistors.
In summary, Intel makes a great long term investment. At its current price, Intel is a steal. The company has a duopoly with AMD in the PC CPU market, a dividend yield of almost 4%, ROA of 18%, net profit margin of 23%, and a PE of less than ten. Additionally, the upcoming release of Windows 8 should boost Intel's sales and allow Wintel to challenge Android and Apple in the tablet space. Finally, Intel has a huge advantage in process technology. Intel is a steal.

When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn't get much better than Intel's position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel finds itself in a precarious situation longer term if it doesn't find new avenues for growth.

Drywall Patches
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: August 30, 2010
Or if you�re out of the spackling compound, try this for small jobs, use white toothpaste to fill the holes. Just make sure that your toothpaste is completely dry before you paint over it. Quick tips that work well when you don�t have a lot of time.
Here are some more tips for repairing drywall.
Small nail holes or shallow dents can be repaired pretty easily. Take your spackling compound and with a putty knife �paste� over the nail holes. Make sure the compound is completely dry before you lightly sand over it. As you sand, rub you hand over the area to make sure it is level with the wall. Once the area is sanded simply paint. When the paint is dry you will have a hard time guessing where the nail use to be!
If your drywall is older, you may notice a few nails �popping� through the wall. This means the nail is not holding properly and you will have to repair it. Take a nail and hammer it to the stud directly above or below the popped nail. Then hammer the popped nail back into place. You will need to use your spackling compound again to fill the dents left by hammering the nails into the wall. Once the compound is dry, sand and paint.
Larger holes in drywall are not as easy to patch because there's no backing material behind them.
You can build new backing however by taking a piece of cardboard, slightly larger than the hole, and tie a string through the middle of it. Then insert the cardboard into the hole and pull the string tight. While holding it tight, apply a first coat of patching compound to fill the hole.
Once it's dry, cut the string and apply a second coat. To help strengthen the patch you can apply some fiberglass tape to the seams and then tape over that. Feather out the compound around the hole with a wide knife. Let it dry and sand it smooth and repaint.
Here is another way you can patch larger holes, use plywood strips as the backer, cutting them longer than the hole, but narrow enough to go through the hole.
Then you will need to secure the strips by screwing into them through the drywall and use enough to provide backing for the entire hole. Then finish the patch as we described above.
Another method is called the "hat patch." For this you will need to cut a piece of drywall the size of the hole, but let the paper on front run an inch or two longer. The paper will serve as the joint tape.
Then insert the "hat" into the hole with some joint tape around the drywall. Cover the patch with two coats of joint compound. Then sand it and prime over it.
Repairing Small Dents
If you want to repair a small dent, sand the surface thoroughly using coarse sandpaper and a sanding block. You will end up with a rough surface that will bond better to the joint compound you will be using. Fill the dent with a good grade of joint compound using a 3" or 4" spreader. Spread the compound evenly, pressing it into the dent. Larger dents may require a second coat applied after the first coat is completely dry. After the joint compound has dried, sand the area smooth using fine sandpaper and a sanding block. Sand just enough to remove high spots and blend the edges with the surrounding areas. You must be careful not to sand so much that you create a low spot where your patch is. Again, rub your hand over the patch frequently as you sand and stop when you can no longer feel any difference between the patch and surrounding wall.
If you are trying to repair a crack in your drywall, clean the crack area thoroughly by removing any loose material from the crack. If there are any high spots, sand them down with coarse sandpaper before applying compound.
After the crack is clean, apply patching plaster with a wide, flexible putty knife. Apply the compound in both directions across the crack pressing the compound firmly into the crack.
Then you will need to scrape off any excess material by running the knife along the length of the crack. Once the compound has dried, sand it smooth and touch up any areas that may require it. You may want to dip the putty knife in water to make the final pass.
Here are some more tips we found for you.
Thin coats of joint compound dry faster than heavy coats.
Thin coats are also easier to smooth.
Most joint compounds will shrink when drying so while your patch may seem flush with the surrounding wall when wet, it may produce a concave area when dry. Build a slightly "high" patch with the joint compound and sand flush with surrounding area when dry.
Smoothing joint compound as much as possible when applying will minimize sanding.
Always wear a dust mask when sanding joint compound.

States may choose to establish a basic health program to provide coverage to low-income individuals. This option allows states to design benefits specifically for this population, different from those offered in either Medicaid or the Exchange.
*Milestone details:
*Full name: Decide whether or not to offer a state basic health program to offer coverage to people not eligible for Medicaid with household income of 133% - 200% FPL.
*Relevance to the ACA:
The ACA allows states to contract with health plans to provide coverage to individuals with household incomes that exceed 133% but not 200% of the FPL. If a state chooses this option, individuals eligible for the basic health program may not obtain coverage through the Exchange. A state basic health program must include at least the essential health benefits. For states that elect this option, the federal government will provide funds equal to 85% of the premium tax credits that enrolled individuals would have received had they had enrolled in plans through an Exchange.

Leases can be a primary business asset and also contain landmines of liability.

Home Birth on a Flex Mattress: Update
6 comments:
Wow what a commercial!
My cousin has had 2 home water births and really raves about the experience. I was so interested I just rented "The Business of Being Born" by Cara Mahlhahn, very interesting stuff.
I'm a few years away from these kinds of decisions, but I understand it a lot more now.So wonderful to see this again ... and in its longer version. I absolutely LOVE this commercial, and am in awe of the culture that allows this to play on tv. do we know if it really did play on tv? i'd love to know more about that & the public's reaction to it. I could watch it a million times - seeing something new & precious each time. I love how natural the big brother is, how much he takes it all in stride ... the combination of natural, as in this is just how it's done, and magic, at the wonder & miracle of new life, is absolute perfection!

Ida Tarver Jones on Monday was remembered as a dedicated community volunteer, friend and traveler with an angelic singing voice who never said an unkind word about anyone.
"She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known," said longtime friend Margaret Ross.
Jones died Saturday at Hospice LaGrange.
Dee Bradley met Jones while working with the United Methodist Women. The two quickly became traveling buddies, going to UMW-sponsored events, Optimist Club events (Jones also was a member of the LaGrange Optimist Club) and sometimes traveling just for fun.
A relative dubbed them "Thelma and Louise." They would stuff the bags in the back of Bradley's Mini Cooper and ride, one trip took them up and down the East Coast. The two went to Gulf Shores, Ala., as late as October.
"She was up for anything new and different," Bradley said. She rode a camel in Jerusalem, crossed a rope bridge in Northern Ireland and rode in a hot air balloon in Albequerque, N.M.
Jones' own daughter, Tracy, called her mother "The traveling One," and said after her death that her mother was on "the trip of her life."
Ross also met Jones through traveling when Jones was named a delegate to LaGrange's sister cities, going to Japan, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Georgia.
Ross said when the group went on its first trip to Georgia, Jones remarked that the city should have had a ticker tape parade for the group as it left town. When the group got to Georgia, there was a literal parade waiting for them, with drums, flowers, food and dancing.
"She got her parade," Ross said.
In retirement, Jones also was a member of the Red Hat Society with Ross and Bradley.
"She loved being a 'Sho-nuff Dahling,'" Ross said, the name for the society's local chapter they attended.
For the last 10 years, Ross, Jones and several other ladies would have Christmas communion and tea at Ross' house on Christmas Eve. Last month, Jones was not up to making the trip, so Ross brought communion to her. Ross had planned to stay an hour; she stayed four.
"You could feel the presence of the Lord in that room," Ross said.
Jones retired as a middle grades teacher with Troup County Schools in 1989 and was active in the Retired Teachers Association. She also was in the LaGrange International Friendship Exchange, LaGrange Optimist Club, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and World Methodist Conference.
She also was a longtime volunteer with the LaGrange-Troup County Chamber of Commerce, being named "Ambassador of the Year" many times over.
"I love living in LaGrange," Jones told the Daily News in July 2011. "To be the size it is, it has so much to offer. It's a college town with so many cultural activities. I enjoy all of it."

Status of Villanova's Robertson for season-finale against Delaware unknown
Andy Talley said he will not know John Robertson's status for Saturday's regular-season finale at Delaware until late Wednesday afternoon at the earliest.
Robertson left Villanova's 35-20 victory over ninth-ranked James Madison last Saturday in the fourth quarter with a possible concussion. Robertson has to pass all the baseline tests before he can be cleared to play.
"Right now, we're hoping he can pass all of the concussion tests and get through that this week," Talley said Monday during the weekly CAA football coaches conference call. "It looks like he'll have one day of practice, which would be Thursday. I'm a little skittish about this one. I just don't know. I hope he passes everything. It's a three-pronged test.
"The earliest he could practice is Thursday. If that happens we would probably have to extend our practice Friday to get him more reps, but he's had a lot of reps during the year. Hopefully, the rest will do him good, but I'm hoping he'll pass everything and can play."
Robertson is a candidate for CAA and national Freshman of the Year honors. The rookie quarterback has completed 122 of 201 passes for 1,637 yards and 13 touchdowns and has run for 812 yards and 12 scores. He is third in the CAA and 29th in the FCS in total offense (243.9 yards per game).
If Robertson cannot play, sophomore quarterback Chris Polony will start at quarterback. Polony started the final three games of the 2011 season and opened the 2012 campaign as the started before being replaced by Robertson. He has seen limited action in five games.
"H has a really good grasp on our offense," Talley said of Polony. "If he's the guy, then we're going to hang our hat on him. He's been to town. He knows what it's all about. I think we can be competitive with him."
The No. 21/25 Wildcats (7-3 overall, 5-2 CAA) are in a must-win situation to have a shot at the FCS playoffs. They have to beat the struggling Blue Hens (5-5, 2-5), who have lost three in a row to nationally ranked teams by a total of 18 points. Even with a win the Wildcats are not guaranteed a spot in the 20-team field because of a crowded championship race in the CAA.
There is a possibility of a six-way tie for first place between James Madison, New Hampshire, Old Dominion, Richmond, Towson and Villanova, and a five-way deadlock for the league title. ODU is not eligible for the league title because it is moving up to the FBS next season.
For that to happen, Towson has to beat New Hampshire, James Madison has to knock off Old Dominion, Richmond must defeat William & Mary and Villanova would have to beat Delaware. Towson, James Madison, Richmond and Villanova are all on the road. Continued...
New Hampshire is in the driver's seat. If the Wildcats defeat Towson, they will receive the league's automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs, even though UNH lost to Old Dominion, 64-61, because the Monarchs are not eligible for the league title.
Villanova's two league losses are to Richmond and Towson at home so the Wildcats lose the head-to-head tiebreakers with the Spiders and Tigers. However, Villanova does hold the head-to-head hammer over ODU and JMU.
With Stony Brook losing in the Big South over the weekend and Lehigh falling in the Patriot League. It is highly doubtful that the NCAA would award four at-large bids to one conference let alone five, which is half of the 10 at-large bids.
It's going to make for a wild finish in the CAA.
"I don't think I've ever seen so much on the line going into the last game of the year," Talley said.

Major in Psychology
A psychology degree brings professional opportunities in community service centers, psycho-social rehabilitation programs, research institutes, and business organizations. Many graduates choose to pursue Master's and doctoral degrees, to prepare them for work as psychologists, counselors, and clinical researchers.
The psychology major at CLU is structured to meet three important objectives for those interested in the study of human thought, emotion and behavior. First, students learn about the empirical foundations of psychology. Second, psychology is a broad discipline and students are exposed to the variety of areas encompassed in the field. Third, the major is designed to enable students to apply what they have learned to the real world, thus teaching analysis, synthesis and critical thinking skills.
While lecture and textbook reading assignments are part of every course, faculty in the department encourage students to be active participants in learning through laboratory and case study projects. The three junior/senior capstone courses are practicums emphasizing the integration and application of theory and concepts, ethics, oral and written communication, and research methodology.
CLU's Psychology Department has a chapter of Psi Chi, a national honor society for psychology majors, and each year several of our students receive support to present projects at undergraduate research conferences in California.
The bachelor's degree in psychology is excellent preparation for graduate work in psychology, law and business. With a bachelor's degree, employment opportunities can be found in the business world, psychiatric rehabilitation programs, as research assistants and in the business world. Those with master's degrees may work in clinics and institutions, teach at a two-year college or work as school psychologists and counselors. For some clinical and research work, a doctorate is required.
CLU offers master of science degrees in clinical psychology and counseling psychology with a specialization in marital and family therapy.
Emphasis Area Option: Because psychology may be applied to a wide range of human endeavors, students may add an emphasis area to the B.A. or B.S. to increase their marketability at graduation. Students select courses from an approved list of interdisciplinary courses to complete one of the following emphasis areas: Behavioral/Clinical Applications, Business/Organizational Applications, Family and Child Development, Health and Wellness Applications, Law and Criminal Behavior Applications, Psychobiology, Sports Psychology Applications.
Candidates for a California Secondary Teaching Credential should contact the School of Education Office for a complete list of course requirements for a Single Subject Waiver in Social Science.

Two Words to Never Forget
17 comments:
- Roger said...
Thanks for sharing this Marcus. It reminds me of the line in the Two Towers from Aragorn to King Theoden, "Open war is upon you whether you would risk it or not." So many of my day to day activities are fraught with the battle, whether it be seeing my wife throught he eyes of Christ or saying "no" to an offering that seems so delicious. Keeping my mind set on the reality that "hostilities exist" is essential to interpreting and discerning the spirits that are at work. I've found immense freedom when I can hold onto that perspective, though i missit much of the time.

I am a runner too, Marcus. But, the predators I worry about are the two-legged kind. We have a beautiful lake here that goes on for miles. Some sections tend to have little foot traffic and runners are attacked now and then. I love the tranquility of these areas. I run through them every once in awhile and I always think of how I might use my key or whatever is in my hand against an attacker. Sometimes I turn around and go back to the populated area if things feel too ominous.
A few times here and elsewhere I've come across a male runner after almost aborting a run through a questionable area and asked if I could run with him. I figure it's more trouble to attack two than one. I knew I could keep their pace and they didn't seem to mind. But, I don't really like to impinge on someone else's running experience. So, these were rare occasions.
Mostly I stay away from the more isolated areas these days. When I became a mother, I felt a heightened sense of responsibilty for not letting anything happen to me because now I'm not the only one who would suffer the consequences. - September 14, 2011 at 11:27 AM

Marcus, a Marine I know told me to prioritize in this order: Mission, Team, Self. Perhaps it is a little cleaner than your formulation, but does share the general idea.

Kaylee--a good comment, thanks. My wife often runs with another woman. The other woman actually carries a small handgun with her when she runs. She's explained that she often runs in early morning or on deserted trails, and has been approached several times in circumstances she feels uneasy about. Pause for thought, for sure.
Habap--good comment, thanks. - September 14, 2011 at 11:32 AM

That's impressive she runs with a handgun, it certainly makes my key weapon seem a bit pathetic. Anyone who tries anything with this woman is in for a surprise.

A good reminder for all. Once, years ago, my husband (a pediatrician) was threatened by a man he had to testify against in court. The man threatened to do harm to us, the family. I got a call from the office saying hubby was on his way home, I had to pick our two young kids up from school and we had a few good men surrounding us that evening. Talk about circling the wagons. Nothing came of it, but I think my husband reacted appropriately. It was pretty scary at the time though!

fitting the cyril computer cabinet for iMac
"i wanted to pass this info along because i doubt that i am the only mac owner to be seduced by the cyril computer cabinet. i am truly of the "AR" measure twice, cut once school but i simply lost my head when i saw the cyril on pages 292-293 of the 2007 ikea catalog. right there was my dream come true, a clean and simple cabinet with room for my iMac G5, printer and desk accessories. the photo in the catalog showed my exact computer.
i measured my underutilized entrance hallway and saw that it would fit perfectly in the space and, when closed, would recede into the background. i quickly purchased the item and remained blissful as i put the unit together. it was the single most difficult ikea item (of many) i've constructed but also one of the coolest. the design is ingenious and the hinges (they're imprinted with the logo "ferrari made in italy"), drawer, and panel are high quality.
my moment of despair came when i had the desk in place and tried to place the computer inside. alas it did not fit - the mac was 1" too high. how could this be, i wondered? i quickly realized that the desk in the catalog was sporting the smaller size iMac not the one i have with a 20".
after some deliberation with my man, we decided to cut a recessed notch across shelf going about 4 1/2 inches deep and extending as far as we could while still leaving the magnetic closure next to the drawer intact. we had to partially take the unit apart to do this.
as you can see in the photos, the computer now fits just fine."

And how do they intend to insert a CD or DVD on the right side of the iMac?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 31, 2007 9:00 AM
they probably just pull the monitor out a few inches, insert the disc and then push it back again. i highly doubt they glued the thing to the table.
nice hack there, really does fit that wall space juuuust nice!
-Ave - ApricaMay 31, 2007 9:12 PM
Well, my two year old just angles the computer a bit and sticks it in the slot, then pushes it back in place. It isn't bolted down or anything (although maybe it should be given the intense ardor with which the toddler approaches the iMac)

Eh, I'm sure they can move the moniter. Its not like its glued to the desk.

Shades of Glory: Wireless Shutterglasses Review

We've put the RealD CrystalEyes, NuVision 60GX, eDimensional and Samsung SSG1000 shutterglasses to the test. The test setup was the reference standard Sammy DLP 3D-Ready HDTV and a big honking PC with a recent nVidia card running Peter Wimmers's Stereoscopic Player. All of the tested glasses are 100% out-of-the-box compatible with all 3D-Ready TVs from Samsung and Mitsubishi. The test images were shot through the shutterglasses lenses with a fixed exposure point-and-shoot digital camera.

I was checking the new Features and I saw "Scroll Binders". Now, are these what I think they are ? Binders that bind powerscrolls together reducing the item count ? If so, I am really disappointed to see that the Developers took time to help those few who hoarded powerscrolls at Champ spawns which are a minority (it is known how Powerscroll Champ spawns are a Monopoly of few guilds on all Shards), and did NOTHING to make binders for Treasure Maps, or seed cases, or jewellery cases and a number of other items which are of a MORE WIDER interest to a vaster majority of players ??? Excuse me ? Cater the few and disregard the more ? Unbelievable.
Wow, really? So much disappointment over a simple thing of scroll binding? This is simply an introduction of a new idea in beta. It's quite possible that if it is successful at working bug-free that they may start introducing the same concept to other items including t-maps, seeds, etc. Sooo, calm down, lmao.
Nope, they're not that at all. They're a way to give lower powerscrolls some kind of value rather than leave them scattered all over the floor at champ spots. With the recent changes to ghost behaviour at champ spawn locations many shards are now finding it much easier to successfully complete a champ, though they might have to employ tactics like slipping all the scrolls to a stealther who goes out the long way round rather than using the gate to star room.
You took the words out of my mouth, Viper. Patience, grasshopper!! Sak's been one very busy developer and I think she's got about a billion ideas floating around in her head of things she wants to implement. Stick around and maybe you'll get some nice surprises.
Popps, after all these years, you are just coming to this conclusion now, it has always been this way, the Elite always come first, nothing is going to change this way of doing things, so just suck it up and move on.
You guys amaze me sometimes. You assumed what a scroll binder is and its not what you assumed to be, but instead of finding out what it was, you came here ranting about it first. Plus, as the other posters said, this is beta still, it might not even make it to the final release. Not that it matters, but personally, I think its a great idea. I have a bunch of 110's and 115's that I've been holding in case they ever do a spring cleaning again, but now I might just use the scroll binder idea instead, if it makes it to the final release.
It is the idea that the first thought goes to whom ? To help the powerscroll hoarders who are always the same few players. Why did not they do this test, instead of powerscrolls, with treasure Maps which are needed by a far wider majority of players ?? What is disappointing is the fact that the first thought of doing such a test (if it is a test) goes to cater the needs of those few top players and NOT to cater the needs of the masses of players playing out there. This is what, at least for me, is VERY disappointing.
Well guess what...that's how it is going to work right now in the beta. So guess you'll just have to learn to manage your great disappointment over this while your playing the beta.
So what are they if I may ask if not simply a container to reduce their item count ? I am not sure what you mean here.
But it does is disappointing, doesn't it ? Besides, hard to understand at least for me. I mean, who pays MOST of the bills ? The subscriptions of the vaster majority of players, NOT of the elite few top players. It is incredible to me that then those few are catered way before those many and yet, those who keep the game alive are the many, NOT the few.........
From what I understand, scrollbinders allow lower end power scrolls to be combined into a higher end one. It's something like take 10 105 scrolls and you get a 110. In the long run, this will create more 120 scrolls out there on vendors for players who never do champ spawns. So how is this not helping the majority of players out there?
So what are scroll binders then ?? What do they do and how do they make more usefull 105s, 110s and 115s ??
And this is not a change that favours Powerscroll hoarders ?????? Excuse me ? These few players who HOLD HOSTAGE of Champion Spawns and prevent other players from freely hunting them have a BUNCH of lower scrolls which are useless and, thanking to Developers' generosity they will be able to make them into 120s and make even more money than what they may already have (powerscroll hoarders are among the wealthiest in the game, already) out of items that were worthless and this is not a special interest towards few players ? Hallo ??? What the Developers should have done is finally BREAK, END, FINISH, KAPUT the monopoly of Champion Spawns by only a few Guilds. All players should be able to freely hunt for their powerscrolls and instead, regardless of what one may say, FOR YEARS a whole lot of players have been significantly CUT OUT from powerscroll hunts. And, they are a majority of subscribers. How many players out of that closed circle have been able to get a 120 magery or 120 Evaluate Intelligence scroll, for example ? Instead, some of those few players have most of their characters already capped at Legendary magery and Evaluate Intelligence. If the Developers wanted to really help anyone it should have been THESE majority of players who needed the most help, not those who keep powerscroll hunts as their private hunting place.......... I can't imagine what will be with 120 Imbuing and who will get them becoming even more powerfull at the expense of the vaster majority of players and PAYING SUBSCRIBERS whose money is "THE" money which, being the most, is what pays for most of the bills.... These vaster majority of players' needs should come, to the eyes of Developers, waaaaaaaaay before any fewer elite players' needs since it is the most subscribers who pay most of the bills for the game, not the other way around. That is at least how I see it.
Funny how some people will spin something to suit there own opinion or agenda. I for one love this. I have a bag full of scrolls I have collected over the years that were worthless to me because I had no use for the less than 120's on my own charaters. (don't have vendors to sell and I am a hoarder) Now instead of handing over gold I can't afford to these "evil" people I can create my own from cheaper lesser scrolls.
I simply think that letting a minority of players keep a majority of players out of parts of the game they pay subscription for, for YEARS, is something that should get Developers' attention. I have heard comments for years that blues should organize and blah, blah, blah and yet, year after year after year I saw nothing changing. A few Guilds simply keep out many many other players from powerscroll hunts and use it as a cash cow to become even more powerfull and improve their templates. And, even though a vast majority of paying subscribers were suffering this for years upon years, nothing was done to break this monopoly. Rather than helping those who already have large wealth to make more wealth (they are the hoarders of powerscrolls...), the developers should think of ways to help the average player to be able to catch up, not the gap to widen..... At least, that is my opinion.
I was going to respond to the OP, but this really isn't a complaint about Stygian Abyss. It's taking something new and spinning it to bring up an old argument. No need for the smoke & mirrors.
Scroll binders: http://uoherald.com/guide/guide.php?guideId=280 The official information, not the scaremongering rumours.
Just LOL. This thread made me laugh,glad I stumbled upon it before I leave for work. Me thinks someone needs to step awaaaaaay from the computer.......
can it be that you dont understand it at all? at 1st you complain in almost all treads about the "rich" the "dominater" the "uber menschen" and then you complain if the 120 scrolls will be much cheaper. i love the scroll binders idia ( question to all: is it possible to bind at first 105 to 110 then the bindet 110 to 115 till at least 120 scrolls?)
popps, stop whining. Just because you pay your monthly subscription fee doesn't mean that everything should be handed to you on a silver platter. If you're so pissed about some guilds having power scroll monopoly why don't you start a blue zerg guild which can fight the reds back? Guess you're too dumb for that..
Translated: "Whaaaaaaa Whaaaaaaaa Whaaaaaaa!!!!! He's got shinies and I don't!!! Whaaaaaaa!!! I want shinies just for logging on once a week!!! It's not fair that guy that's put years of effort into building up and maintaining a guild has more than me, even though I've only played for an hour a day, once a week!!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Yeah... popps, intead of continuously whining about crap that you look at for 2 seconds, why don't you close out Stratics, and actually READ ABOUT THEN TEST everything you're bitching and moaning about? This is 2 of 2 threads so far that you've been pissing and throwing a fit about something, and have ALL of your facts wrong. I think you should probably lay off the coffee as well, and if you continue to be so unhappy about UO and what's going on, then quit and never look back. Please. Quit and never look back.
So rather then researching what the Scroll Binders actually are, you chose to come post an inacurate post to express your displeasure. Scroll binders will provide a use for the lower level power scrolls and offer a way to combine SOTS, at least that is my take on it. These binders will lower the value of 120 scrolls very quickly, while providing some value to the lower value scrolls. This change has very little to do with Item count. But I am sure you will find another new feature to whine about.
Changes like this, as I see it, should be done entirely "inhouse" with no leak and released all of a sudden. That is, no player should be given info before hand to have the chance to hoarde the items for their self benefit. Or, all players should get to know about them at the same one time. It should be about time that changes were thought having in mind the masses, and not few elite players....... At least that is my view.
Who are these so called "elite" players that were in beta? You seem to think that only the richest of the rich among players were allowed in. Guess what. You're wrong. It wouldn't be the first time, and it won't be the last. Now get over your butthurt that you didn't get invited to closed beta, and be glad those who were spent as much time as they did testing everything to have SA as close as it is. I'd suggest some KY or Preparation H for that butthurt btw....
First you argue that scroll binders are bad because they allow people to horde more by reducing there item counts. You go on to say this ins't fair and only helps the elite! When it's explained that is incorrect and that spellbinders allow you to combine lower scrolls into higher scrolls, whcih will help out the majority of the player base considering the "Elite" as you put it are the only ones that have an abundance of 120 scrolls. So now instead of paying 14mil for a 120 mage scroll you can piece one together. So then you turn around and complain about that as well and go off about how it's helping the Elite horders still. I really don't know why I keep checking out threads you make because they never make any sense.
Over the years it has been tried a whole lot of times but never worked saved a few exceptions. Casual, occasional players can never be as organized as players who just hang around most often. The end result is that powerscrolls are unreachable to way too many players unless they buy them and this should never be. All players should be able to hunt their own. Perhaps, if up to 115 PS where made to drop in Trammel this could help other players now cut out. As it is, way too many 105s would be needed to put together a 120. A player trying to use Trammel 105 drops to put together a 120 would need forever.... If all players want to be helped out we need to have 110s and 115s drop in Trammel, also. As of now, these Scroll Binders will only help those who needed the help the less..... That is how I see it.
Actually this is my opinion..... it won't help anyone but the guilds who already monopolize the champ spawns. Why you may ask do I say this? Well... because... EVERYONE will have the ability to "bind" powerscrolls... so now... do you think these guilds who already control everything are going to continue to sell smaller scrolls cheaper? Hell NO they aren't... they will bind them themselves and charge the same ridiculously inflated prices and now exclusively offer only 120 scrolls normal players can never hope to afford. At least not without BUYING gold... thereby continuing the market for scripters, hackers and everyone else including the guilds who monopolize the spawns to sell the powerscrolls to make money off of selling gold... and they intern the precious few who control these guilds cheat their players by selling the gold they are "hording" and keeping the RL money made from such sales to themselves... or their precious few. (you don't honestly believe that this isn't exactly what's been happening for many years do you?) So THAT is what will be happening with the scrolls. So buy now while you can and hope that you may be able to piece together something from IDOC's or something because seriously you WON'T be doing it yourself otherwise.
My point was that the change was a change to cater the few rather than the most. That scroll binders help put together lower PSs into larger one does not change the fact that those who have the most or have access to the highest number of them is those who hold the Monopoly of Felucca Champ spawns. Want this change to really help ALL players ? Fine. Then add 110 and 115 spawns to Trammel Champ Spawns and THEN, this change will actually help most players, not merely just a few.....
Just out of idle curiosity, have you actually tried to do a spawn since the ghost changes came in? I know of several champs that have been completed on Europa without being raided since that change.
Anytime that someone gets important information that can help progress and a lot of others do not, that is PRIVILEGE. The way I see it, there should never be such privileges, at least not in games where all participants pay the same subscription fees to access it....... So why not have the beta testers help with the testing but still inform ALL players whether those testing or not of the upcoming changes so that they can ALL have equal chances to prepare for the upcoming changes ? Why let some be more prepared than others when all are subscribers to the service just the same ?
I am certainly no pvp'er, and seldom do Fel at all. But I am glad to see this coming, in the long run it *will* lower 120 prices, I believe. And I'll be glad to see the day that happens
Do we REALLY want this Scroll Binders change help ALL players and not mostly the Felucca PSs hoarders ? Then make 110 and 115 Powerscrolls spawn in Trammel. Only at that point I will agree that yes, this is a GREAT change for the game as it will help ALL players, not the same old fews......... Scroll Binders do have a great potential to help the vast majority of players, now cut out, but to see this happen first 110 and 115 PSs need to spawn in Trammel.
You sure do put a whole lot of claim on that subscription fee. I suppose you'd want to be able to stand behind the Devs while they're programming too, just so you'd be able to see the source code as it's written. After all, the Devs play UO too, so they know before anyone what's going to happen. Because things can, do, and will change from day to day. Just because something is added in beta does not mean it will be part of the finished product. Just like imbuing that originally had peerless ingredients as part of the process that you jumped all over and threw a hissy fit about, even though it's not part of the finished product. There's a reason for the NDA, and your hissy fit is a perfect example of it.
You are joking right? We are in an open beta now silly, you are welcome to see all the things those in beta were only privvy to seeing before. I think giving the public a week long preview is more than fair, don't you? In addition if you have any questions I am sure there are those here who would have no issue with filling you in. If you would just please stop with the unending negativity, for goodness sakes man...you are complaining about something that is not only trivial in a game sense...but also about something (several things) that is beneficial to everyone.
Monopolies only exist because the players on any given shard allow them to. Any monopoly can be broken. With the changes to champ spawns regarding ghost cams champs are much easier for anyone to run, and have a good chance at being completed without being raided.
Exactly. I am glad to see that there is someone else besides me who sees all this. Unfortunately, the lower scrolls are quickly disappearing from vendors so, it is already too late for many. Only those "privileged" well informed ones were able to stock them up...... We need changes for the many, not for the few. Want to make Scroll binders be of use to ALL players and not just a few ? Make 110s and 115s spawn in Trammel. THEN this change will have been a good one.
I think it is only a matter of time that the Guilds monopolizing the spawns will reorganize and find new ways. The only real fix is letting 110s and 115s spawn in Trammel as well as lower stat scrolls up to +20. Only in this way I could see Scroll Binders as a really great addition to the game as a change to cater the vaster majority of players and not only a few.
Wouldn't it be even nicer if ALL players could finally hunt their own without having to subject themselves to those Guilds monopolizing the Felucca Champ spawns ??
Translation: OMG!!! I can't try it now because sometime next year someone might figure something out, and it's easier for me to bitch and complain about it now than to actually go out and try.
Dont you really mean groups of people who hang out doing stuff together? I am sorry some of us are not up on doing things on our own. (this is an MMORPG no?)
Really ? If I see a whole lot of shards that for YEARS upon YEARS have been subject most if not all of them to these Monopolies what are we talking about ? Breaking them ? If it was possible it would happen systematically and all of the time instead, the rule is the other one, Felucca Champ spawns are privilege of a few Guilds only. When something does not change on so many shards for so many years, to me this shows there DOES IS a problem. If there was no problem then Monopolies would not exist or not be so wide spread and be able to continue for so long. Yet, they do. This continuing state of things over so many shards shows it all well that unless the Developers step in and DO SOMETHING, players will NOT be able to change things. Otherwise, they would have had over the years.
How so ? A potential can lay unused "unless" the correct change steps in....... This change further needed is adding 110 and 115 PSs spawn to Trammel. Only THEN the Scroll binder change will finalize its potential to become truly a great change for the game. Using 105s all the way to make a 120 just takes too many 105s to make it really feasible.
When something does not change it's because the other players on the shard allow it to stagnate. Anyone can start a guild, put the effort in to recruit and train, and take on the monoplies. The problem is that people like you would rather give up and come here and complain about it instead of actually working for your reward. Every zerg guild started out with one person deciding to put that effort in. If you're unwilling to even try, then that's on you, not the Devs. Devs don't control the players, no matter how much you want them to.

I wear a 10 in northwaves. Again, my left foot felt fine but my right foot where I had the surgery was too tight by the toes. I would've been fine if I didn't have surgery on my foot. I wear 10 in sneakers.
So the snowboard boots in 10 are tight? For me, burtons fit more snug for me so I never had a pair of those. I would probably need a 10.5 in burtons. |
