We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $3 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
The Bailey Scholarship is awarded to students who self-identify as a member of a group that has traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. Award amounts are $1,500 for semester or yearlong programs and $1000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
In an effort to make study abroad opportunities available to the widest possible audience, CIEE-ISP Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. $2,000 for semester or yearlong programs and $1,000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
CIEE created the Global Access Initiative (GAIN) to help students overcome the major barriers to studying abroad, namely costs and curriculum requirements. GAIN aids in the diversification of study abroad by providing overseas opportunities for students who are economically challenged. The award is $1500 towards an airline ticket with any remaining funds distributed to the student in the form of a check.
The McDermott Scholarship is awarded to students with demonstrated financial need, and who are either a Public Health or Nursing major, and/or are participating in a CIEE Community Public Health study abroad program. Awards range from $1000-$2500, depending on duration of study and financial need, and are applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.

Capital of Andalusia, Seville was one of the last footholds of the Moorish empire that ruled the Iberian Peninsula. It is home to the ingenious barber of Seville and the tempestuous Carmen. The great Renaissance painters Velázquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabel ruled Spain from the royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace. Though the city preserves its past, modern Seville is the commercial hub of Andalusia. For a city of fewer than 800,000, Seville offers amazing cultural activities, from flamenco to classical, pop, and jazz concerts.
José Luis Martinez, ALA Resident Director, has a B.A. in Hispanic Philology and an M.A. in Spanish Literature (Theater) from the Universidad de Sevilla and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. He has been working with CIEE since 2002.
A pesar de ser una de las ciudades de España de mayor tamaño, es curiosa la percepción de nuestros estudiantes cada semestre; el hecho de poder abarcarla en pocas semanas, la hacen cercana y familiar. Sin duda la razón está en el carácter de las personas que la habitan y en el trazado histórico de la ciudad, con uno de los cascos históricos y monumentales mayores de Europa, excelente para recorrer a pie, acompañados por la bonanza de su clima. Espero que en tu estancia tú también llegues a percibir la misma sensación de familiaridad y cercanía con Sevilla.
— José Luis Martinez, Resident Director

Jaime Ramírez is the Center Director for the CIEE Study Center in Seville. A native sevillano, he earned his B.A. from the Universidad de Sevilla in Business Administration and M.B.A. at the Instituto Internacional San Telmo. Jaime participated in CIEE´s Internship USA, working for 4 months at the CIEE headquarters in Portland, Maine. He has also participated in several professional development staff exchanges with Georgetown University and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jaime has been with CIEE since 2004 and is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Work and Organizational Psychology.
Since its establishment in the 16th century, the Universidad de Sevilla has been one of Spain's leading institutions of higher learning. The schools of business, communications, economics, engineering, geography and history, law, labor sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, philology, philosophy, psychology, and its many departments and institutes, serve the educational needs of Spain's most populous region. In total, the Universidad de Sevilla is the educational center for some 75,000 students.
With nearly 11,000 students, the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) is the second state run university in Seville. It is located on a 345-acre campus, a 30-minute metro or bus ride from the center of the city. UPO offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in traditional majors, as well as in biotechnology, environmental sciences, humanities, labor relations, second language acquisition, social work, sports sciences, and translation. Its facilities are equipped with the latest in technology, including campus-wide Internet access, computer, television, video and audio centers, an open access library, sports facilities, and science laboratories.
The CIEE Study Center is located in a beautifully renovated Sevillano palace built in 1725. It is centrally located, close to the Puerta de la Carne, and is a 10-minute walk from the main Universidad de Sevilla building (Tabacalera). Housed in the CIEE Study Center are classrooms, computer room, student services, and administration. CIEE professors also have an office in the Study Center, so that students may speak with them privately about issues related to their progress in class.
Homestays are the overwhelming preference of study abroad students due to the cultural and linguistic opportunities that they provide. Students have their own room and are placed on an individual basis. However, those students who specifically wish to share housing may request to live with another program participant, but always with the condition that each student has their own separate bedroom. All meals and laundry privileges are provided.
Students choosing the residencia option have all meals, except Sunday lunch, provided in the cafeteria, and a limited meal service during Christmas break, Easter week, and Feria. Laundry is the responsibility of the student in the residencia, although facilities are provided. Residencia rooms are usually doubles or triples shared with other CIEE participants. Few individual rooms are available in the residencia. Students who want to live alone in their own room should choose the homestay or shared apartment options.
Study abroad students choosing shared student apartments will be housed, possibly, with one other program participant, in addition to Spanish and, occasionally, international students. All apartment residents will have their own bedroom, but bathrooms, kitchen and other common areas are shared amongst the residents. Students choosing this option will be responsible for purchasing and preparing their own meals as these are not provided, nor is there a cafeteria (as with the residencia). However, students will receive a modest monthly food stipend. Laundry is also the responsibility of the student, although a washing machine is provided.
Internet is provided in all types of CIEE housing, as are cleaning services, although these vary depending on the type of housing.
Academic-year students may choose to move into private apartments with Spaniards (not other Americans or English-speakers) during the spring semester. CIEE will provide a monthly stipend as well as an informational session about this option, but students are entirely responsible for all aspects of this independent living situation.
Given the size of the city, all students should expect to use public transportation (metro, tram, bus or public bike rental) to commute from their place of residence to their classes.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Seville even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. Meeting with students online, the resident director shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple—to help you understand more about the program, and identify your objectives so that you arrive well-informed and return home having made significant progress towards your goals.
The mandatory weeklong orientation session, conducted in Seville at the beginning of the program, introduces you to the country, culture, and academic program, and also provides practical information about living in Spain. It includes both structured activities and independent sightseeing. Ongoing support by CIEE staff is provided on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. All homestays, residencias, and shared apartments have Internet connections, while the CIEE Study Center and both Universities offer wireless access. Computers at the CIEE Study Center are also available for academic purposes.
The academic program is supplemented with excursions to points of interest in Seville that highlight topics covered in class. Also included is an overnight excursion for the linguistic immersion weekend. Every two weeks an e-newsletter,Noticias desde Sevilla, is sent to participants. It announces happenings around Seville and the cultural activities CIEE has planned to complement academic work.
You may also participate in a wide range of activities with Spanish students offered by the host institutions including hiking, choir, sports teams, theater, and cinema events.
CIEE will reimburse you for tickets purchased for theater, ballet, opera, and special events taking place in and around Seville and Spain. Travel costs to places in Spain are also covered in this study abroad program. The goal of this program is to encourage students enrolled in the Spanish University to enjoy local cultural activities with Spanish peers in a Spanish environment.
During the first week you are in Seville, CIEE organizes a language immersion weekend. You will travel with CIEE staff to Sierra del Huéznar, Constantina (Sevilla), with a group of Spanish students from the Universidad de Sevilla and UPO The goal of this exercise is to help you feel comfortable in an exclusively Spanish-speaking environment immediately upon arrival. You will engage in many different activities with your Spanish peers including one-on-one conversations, individual presentations, group activities/games, and outdoor hiking.
A conversation exchange program with Spanish students is an important part of the program. Intercambios give you the chance to practice what you are learning in language courses, as well as help you become more integrated into Spanish student life and sevillano life and culture.
You'll have the opportunity to work with children and the elderly, as well as other humanitarian associations. You may also become involved in such international organizations as Amnesty International. Volunteer teaching opportunities in local schools are also available for future teachers.
Founded in 1994, the CIEE Advanced Liberal Arts study abroad program is designed for students with advanced Spanish language skills and a strong academic background. Students take the majority of their classes with Spanish students at the Universidad de Sevilla and/or Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO), supplemented by a variety of courses offered by CIEE.
Prior to departure for Seville, all students are required to take a CIEE online placement exam during the scheduled exam period: mid-November to mid-December for the spring semester and mid-May to mid-June for the fall semester. The purpose of this exam is to determine the student's level of Spanish for appropriate placement in language courses. Students should take this exam seriously, as placement in many upper-level courses depends upon a high online placement exam score.
CIEE has a Language Resource Center staffed by language professors and Spanish students majoring in Spanish philology. CIEE organizes tutorials for students to help them in reading, writing, comprehension, and speaking. Tutorials focusing on the content of regular university courses are also offered each semester. Spanish classmates and graduate students help incoming students with their courses at the University. Students may request personal tutors to help them keep up with the work related to these classes.
Courses in law, geography, history, and philology meet in the Universidad de Sevilla's main building, Tabacalera. Classes from the other schools meet at different campuses located around the city of Seville. UPO classes are held on the UPO campus. /p>
Keep in mind that Spanish students begin to study in their area of concentration from the first day of their university career. They are specialists, not generalists. Spain does not have a liberal arts educational tradition, and different degrees do not have survey-type classes as in the U.S.
All dates for official university exams are published early in the semester. Fall semester students may take their final exams prior to the Christmas break, or take them during the official University exam period in late January. For those choosing to take their exams in January, there is a two-week break in between Christmas and January 6th (the holiday called Reyes). December exams are arranged on an individual basis with the professor. Yearlong students need to take their exams during the official University exam period.
In the spring, final exams for regular University classes at UPO may be taken the last week of May. At the Universidad de Sevilla, exams take place in early June. In some cases, professors may be willing to administer the final exam earlier than the officially scheduled date, but CIEE cannot be responsible for arranging or guaranteeing early exams.
During the spring semester, two vacation periods take place: Semana Santa and Feria de Abril. The dates are not fixed, but students are normally free the week before Easter (Holy Week) and then again for a week approximately two weeks after Easter.
Students are required to review their exams (called a revisión) with their professors before leaving Seville so they know how well they performed and what grade to expect.
Students registered for regular University classes take classes with Spanish students. CIEE classes are with CIEE study abroad students only
Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Spanish at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society.
In CIEE Study Center courses, students are graded on the basis of a mid-term and final examination. A paper in Spanish is often required. Most grades for regular University classes are based upon a final exam. In some Universidad de Sevilla and UPO courses, there may also be term papers or an oral examination, and some schools have multiple choice or true/false exams. Numerical grades are given based on a 10-point scale and converted to the U.S. grading system.
Direct matriculation courses are taught by faculty from the Universidad de Sevilla and UPO. CIEE courses are taught by highly qualified professionals, many of whom are associated with either of these state universities.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

"Fly'n'Roll": a non-motorized trip around the worldTue, 28/05/2013 - 23:59 — Petzl
"Fly'n'Roll" is a non-motorized trip around the world on foot, by bike, and by sailboat hitchhiking. Olivier Peyre left Grenoble in 2008. Joined later on by Nadège Perrot, they will finish their circumnavigation of the globe in 2016, completing the adventure of a lifetime.
"No dream is too farfetched!"
As a fifteen year old, Olivier read the book, "On a roulé sur la terre" (We rode our bikes around the world), by Sylvain Tesson and Alexandre Poussin, which tells the story of their one year bike trip around the world. This book was a revelation for him, "Since they proved that it was possible, I decided that I would do it my way when the right time came. This dream followed me everywhere until the day it came true."
The concept of a "non-motorized" trip
In the very same vein, the goal of "Fly'n'Roll" is to explore the Earth by bike, by paraglider, and by sailboat. The concept of a "non-motorized" trip allows for moving at a slower rhythm, taking the time to meet locals and to more thoroughly explore each region along the way. This method of travel represents the complete opposite of whirlwind tourism, which consists of seeing as many places in as little time as possible, often with complete disregard for local traditions and the environment, never taking the time to meet and converse with locals.
The various themes all throughout our trip have come together naturally and all following the concept of "non-motorized" travel. We use our bikes on land, a sailboat for the high seas, and a paraglider and our legs for the mountains and the air.
We have climbed a symbolic high point in each country we've visited, paragliding on the descent as often as possible.
Sailboat hitchhiking requires the right timing, and we had to make sure that we were in the Canary Islands by October 2008 and in Panama by February 2010 when most sailboats catch the trade winds. Spain and Northwest Africa taught us how to be "cycling-drifters." The Atlantic taught us how to sail in 2008.
South America turned into a year of cycling and paragliding mixed with ascents in some of the most remote corners of the planet. Next we traversed the vast Pacific Ocean, with a long stopover in New Caledonia before heading to New Zealand.
In April 2013, we started sailboat hitchhiking again, this time to the Vanuatu Islands, Australia and then to Asia via Singapour to start the the long trip across Eurasia back to Grenoble by way of China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey.
The website and seminars on the theme, "No dream is too farfetched," in schools allows us to share our dreams and photos of faraway places. Turning this project into a reality is proof positive that this type of challenge is within anyone's reach. An alternative, more human and less stressful lifestyle is possible, where one listens to others and shows more respect for our planet.
An excerpt from their travel log
Finally! This word doesn't come anywhere close to conveying our relief; we've reached the legendary Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat. Well, let me tell you that after twenty days of dirt and sandy roads, this is simply paradise. It's 11:30am, and after riding a few kilometers on salt as hard as concrete, we stop to eat in this very strange place. We can feel light breeze from the north, no too strong, but not too week either, just enough to try out an old idea. I roll out my wing, and after a few tries, I'm on my bike with my wing above. Playing with the brakes I try to place the wing so that it pulls the bike just like a kite would in water.
Unbelievable, it works, the system makes forward progress on its own; I don't even have to pedal! Suddenly, behind me, Nadège cries out. The bottom bracket on her pedal just broke. The bike can roll, but it is impossible to pedal. The perfect opportunity to modify the "Fly'n'Roll" concept in order to overcome a mechanical difficulty and to combine the two major themes of our trip into one! We attach one of the suspension lines between our two bikes; I take control of both my paragliding wing and the Alpazone [editor's note: the name of Nadège's bike], and we continue along like this, the wing pulling Nadège and I on our two bikes. We travelled between 22 and 30 km/hr for 60 kilometers and six hours of sheer joy, traversing the entire Salar without pedaling even once!
Stages completed
26 countries visited; 30,066 km pedaled; 16,000 km navigated by sailboat; and 150 paragliding spots.
We wish this dynamic duo lots of wind and luck for the upcoming stages!!

|From the Thrift Shop
|Monday, March 25, 2013 9:31 AM
You know last year at this time we were slathering on the sunscreen and running around in shorts and tank tops enjoying the 85 degree weather. Everyone was busy putting seeds in the garden and checking to make sure the lawn mowers were ready to go to work. We were counting how many robins could be spotted frolicking in the yard, and we were watching all the new signs that spring brings—trees budding and grass greening up; new life, new beginnings. By human nature, we are an impatient being, but I'll bet it's unanimous that everyone is good and ready to smell newly-mown grass again.
If you've got someone who still needs a prom dress, be sure to stop in. Dresses are half price and there are still some very beautiful, glitzy gowns. You'll probably find your post-prom outfit here as well. There's a nice dressing room to try on your selection, too.
With the promise of Spring coming (eventually), remember to get your camping gear here. There's everything from silverware to rugs to toys for the kids as well as swim suits and straw hats. Also remember that when you're doing your annual Spring cleaning, to donate your nice, gently used items to the Thrift Shop instead of putting them at the curb. It seems like all of the departments are in need of items—they go out just about as fast as they come in, which is a great "problem" to have. The shop is always busy sorting and selling, which helps us help those in need. If the drop off window is full, you can knock at the back door, and we'll gladly take your donation there, or you can call 419-692-2942 to make arrangements for your drop-off. The drop off window is located at the rear of the building on the First Street side.
Last minute Easter items—get them now. There's still a lot of nice gift items you can pick up here. I saw some very cute little bunnies and some great story books and toys for the kids.
As always, we could use your large and small shopping bags. I had one nice lady tell me she was so glad to see this little suggestion in the paper because she didn't know what to do with all her bags. She promptly dropped them off in the drop-off window. We could even use your newspaper wrappers. We use them to tie onto sold items that are too big to sack. See, there's a use for re-use of almost everything under the sun. Don't pitch it — drop it off.
As we go into this holy, blessed time of the year, the Thrift Shop would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and to extend our thanks for your continued patronage. We would also like to remind everyone that we will be closed on Thursday and Good Friday, but will have regular business hours on Saturday before Easter.
Since spring is a time of new beginnings, maybe volunteering at the Thrift Shop could be your new beginning—we'd love to have your help. Call us at 419-692-2942.
Until the next time, that's this month's report.

MotionCAPTCHA is a jQuery CAPTCHA plugin, based on the HTML5 Canvas Harmony procedural drawing tool by Mr Doob and the $1 Unistroke Gesture Regonizer algorithm (and the more recent Protractor algorithm improvement), requiring users to sketch the shape they see in the canvas in order to submit a form.
Update: I've scheduled a code jam day to smash out the next version of MotionCAPTCHA and a full advice/implementation guide, so if you're keen to use this anywhere, head over to the Github page and hit 'watch', or subscribe to updates via RSS
Also, I didn't make that video demo of MotionCAPTCHA – if I had I definitely would have used better music. Just sayin'. Thanks to whoever did though!
Version 0.2 adds mobile-support, so if you're on mobile, you can now play with the demo!
At the moment, it's just a proof-of-concept – it only uses client-side gesture recognition, and doesn't really have IE support – but the next releases will feature progressive enhancement and the ability to use this in production environments as a serious CAPTCHA alternative
Demo • Code on Github
How It Works
In the next major release, the plugin will use progressive enhancement so that the form uses a standard server-side (e.g. PHP) CAPTCHA script, and then on page load, the plugin switches that for the Motion CAPTCHA canvas, only if the browser is grown up enough.
For now, here's how it works (if you need a step-by-step guide, there's a How-To below):
- You manually disable your form, by emptying the form's
actionattribute, and placing its value in a hidden
<input>with a specific ID. You should also put
disabled="disabled"on the submit button, for added points.
- You add a few HTML lines to your form to initialise the MotionCAPTCHA canvas, and add the plugin's scripts to your page.
- The user draws the shape and, if it checks out, the plugin inserts the form's
actioninto the
<form>tag. The user can submit the form, happy days.
I know this is going to be unpopular in its current state, because you're making it impossible for people to submit the form without JavaScript or Canvas support – BUT, who gives a crap, it's fun. And in future, it'll degrade gracefully, etc etc.
Technology / Credits
The MotionCAPTCHA plugin combines one of the brushes ('Ribbon' – and a lot of the logic) from Mr Doob's Harmony canvas experiment, with gesture recognition algorithms and vector shapes based entirely on the $1 Unistroke Gesture Recognizer by Jacob O. Wobbrock, Ph.D. and Andrew D. Wilson, Ph.D., and the later Protractor algorithm improvement by Yang Li, Ph.D.
The idea originally came from Paul Irish's blog, where he combined the Ribbon brush and the Unistroke recognizer on the background of his site – you get a pretty special easter-egg if you draw a star. Great song.
In my book, all of these people are ace – I just borrowed from them and spliced their works into one unholy mess (actually it's fairly tidy, though I'm hoping people will suggest performance improvements.)
Also credit goes to Orman from Premium Pixels, I borrowed much of the demo page's design from one of his awesome free PSDs.
- Try to fix up IE support via excanvas or similar library
- Add a real functionality for a 'new shape' button (a shape-switcharoo method)
- b) See (a).
- Perform (or add option/scripts to perform) server-side validation of the vector shape drawn by the user.
- Added mobile support for current functionality. Should work in Android and iOS (iPhones/iPads) now.
A few speed improvements and code cleanups.
How To Use
- Add the plugin scripts: (I'm using jQuery 1.6.x from the google API, but you could load it locally – and MotionCAPTCHA is supported down to jQuery 1.4):
  <link href="jquery.motionCaptcha.0.2.css"></script>
- Code the form as usual, with a unique ID (eg. '#mycoolform') and set the form action to blank (or '#') – eg:
<form action="#" id="mycoolform" method="[get/post]">
- Add this placeholder

element to your form (NB. use
<fieldset>s if you need it to validate) containing the blank canvas:

Please draw the shape in the box to submit the form:
 <canvas id="mc-canvas"></canvas>

- Disable the submit button, eg:
<input type="submit" disabled="disabled" value="Submit Form" />
- Add a hidden input to the form, with the form action as its value. Give it either a unique id, or the id 'mc-action', like so:
<input type="hidden" id="fairly-unique-id" value="submitform.php" />
- Call the plugin on the form element. If you used any other ID than 'mc-action' for the hidden input, you'll just need to pass it to the plugin, like this:
$('#form-id').motionCaptcha({ action: '#fairly-unique-id' }); // Or, if you just used 'mc-action' as the hidden input's ID: $('#form-id').motionCaptcha();
- Other options are available (defaults are shown):
$('#form-id').motionCaptcha({ // Basics: action: '#mc-action', // the ID of the input containing the form action divId: '#mc', // if you use an ID other than '#mc' for the placeholder, pass it in here cssClass: '.mc-active', // this CSS class is applied to the 'mc' div when the plugin is active canvasId: '#mc-canvas', // the ID of the MotionCAPTCHA canvas element // An array of shape names that you want MotionCAPTCHA to use: shapes: ['triangle', 'x', 'rectangle', 'circle', 'check', 'caret', 'zigzag', 'arrow', 'leftbracket', 'rightbracket', 'v', 'delete', 'star', 'pigtail'], // These messages are displayed inside the canvas after a user finishes drawing: errorMsg: 'Please try again.', successMsg: 'Captcha passed!', // This message is displayed if the user's browser doesn't support canvas: noCanvasMsg: "Your browser doesn't support <canvas> - try Chrome, FF4, Safari or IE9." // This could be any HTML string (eg. 'Draw this shit yo:'): label: '
Please draw the shape in the box to submit the form:
' });
The Next Step
Please try out the Motion CAPTCHA demo, check out the Github repository, suggest improvements and report bugs – if you're interested in seeing this become a real, production-ready CAPTCHA alternative, I'd love to get some help so fork the project and submit some pull requests!
Comments, love & hate welcome.

Max Factor is no longer selling in the United States, but it is still available in Europe. It also appears to still be available at some online retailers. I gave Max Factor Lipfinity MAXwear Lipcolor a try and rather liked it.
This is a dual sided long wearing stain and gloss combo. The stain is thick and full of pigment. For best results, apply it to completely clean and dry lips and let it dry entirely before applying the gloss. The gloss has a nice moisturizing feel to it with no stickiness at all. It was a bit on the frosted side for my tastes though.
Overall, I liked the color of the Max Factor products and I got a couple of hours wear out of this. It did come off quickly, however, with eating and drinking. The MAC Cosmetic Lustre Twins (read previous review) last longer and are still my favorite.

(WMC-TV) - The 76-year-old man reported missing Monday was found safe in Tunica County.
Ivan Bynum was reported missing on September 23. His car was found in Tunica.
His family told Action News 5 that Bynum does frequent the casinos, but he usually gets home around 7 p.m. to take his heart medication. When he didn't show up Monday, his sister began to panic.
"We drove through every parking lot, every parking place there was and his car wasn't there," said sister, Mary Young. "I know he had plenty of money on him and I know he's not very careful because he's a trusting soul. He's just an honest decent man."
DeSoto County Sheriff's Department and Horn Lake Police Department assisted Tunica County with the search efforts. Crews were on foot, in ATVs, and in helicopters.
Bynum was found about six miles southwest of his car, and investigators believe he walked the distance over the past two days. When he was found, he was alert and responsive, but dehydrated.
Action News 5's Michael Clark is on the scene, and again, reports that Bynum was found safe. We are working to learn more about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Stay with WMCTV.COM for the very latest.

End of an EraSeptember 14, 2011, 10:02 PM
End of an EraBy Kelsey Purcell I found Harry Potter when I was five years old, and fourteen years have passed with this core piece of fiction ingraining itself most impressively into my life. This is the story of my journey with Harry Potter. My relationship, not only with the Harry Potter books, but also with each individual character, is more complex than I really care to admit or than I ever thought it'd be, but that's the way it is. I've been ingrained into Harry Potter as Harry Potter...Comments (26)

Re: Where to get paint
Would think an IH Case dealer would be your best bet for an exact match.

Re: Where to get paint
The best paint you can get is at a Cub Cadet or Case/IH dealer. The paint is a little more expensive, but it goes on great, covers great, and is very durable. The CNH Iron Guard paint is the best I've used, but the Cub Cadet is pretty good too. Make sure to tell the dealer what year tractor you have, as there are about 4 different colors of yellow that were used on Cub Cadet equipment. They called all of them "Federal Yellow"

Re: Where to get paint
The catch is that none of us really has any idea what paint is currently on your tractor. If it has never been repainted, the advise above is good. If not, well, good luck.
Re: Where to get paint
NAPA, any auto paint dealer, maybe TSC, for sure Carter and gruenwald will have it. If you want to be sure call Carter and Gruenwald, ask for Ken and he will know exactly what you need. Ken has written several books on cubs and cub cadets.
Some common paint colors are close and you may just go to Ace, Lowes, Advanced Auto etc and find a very close match.

For the first time in 10 years, Congressman Eric Cantor met his opponent in a debate.
In the debate, former Army Colonel Wayne Powell lobbed quite a few accusations at the House majority leader - including this one:
"My question is this, Eric: How could you, in good conscience, vote to continue your own pay... but, at the same vote, to stop paying our servicemen and women that you voted to send into combat in Afghanistan?"
Is that true? Did Cantor vote to raise his pay, while at the same time voting to stop payment for servicemen? The reporters at Politifact Virginia believes that Powell's claim is so false, his pants are on fire!
Powell seems to misunderstand how congress works - Cantor actually supported a measure to extend payments for members of the military.
He just opposed the procedural moves by Democrats that were designed just to score political points.
"Cantor voted against the Democratic amendment, but he supported the underlying bill that guaranteed the pay of troops through the end of September," said Politifact reporter Warren Fiske.
According to Fiske, Powell went out of his way to misstate Cantor's actions.

"The Fractalist: Memoir of a Scientific Maverick" just arrived at KPL. It is by Benoit B. Mandelbrot, the holocaust survivor and genuis who coined the term "fractal" and opened our eyes to the math behind so many beautiful events of nature, such as trees, clouds, and mountains.
World Book Online defines a fractal as "a complex geometric figure made up of patterns that repeat themselves at smaller and smaller scales," where "any of its smallest structures is similar in shape to a large structure, which, in turn, is similar to an even larger one, and so on." I'm sorry, what? To be honest, defining fractals is easier with real world examples, like the Romanesco broccoli. But I think the heart of why I geek fractals is that they encourage exploration and discovery. Computer-generated fractal images, such as the Mandelbrot Set, can be "zoomed" in forever, and essentially, the more you look, the more you find.
While basic patterns of the image are repeated at different scales, self-similar fractal patterns are always unique, never exactly the same, and "roughly" similar at different scales of space or time (yes there are temporal fractals, too). Because mapping fractals requires extensive calculation, only since the 1980s have computers allowed us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their presence and dynamics. I hope that our continued exploration of fractals will create better understandings of human ecology, while potentially solving aspects of our energy production and energy storage issues.
Also, they just look really cool, and since the brain itself is fractal, my hunch is that observing fractals kind of tickles the perception - like letting one's neural networks glance into a mirror reflecting their own fractal nature.
I can sit and read a cookbook cover to cover just like a novel. I love finding new recipes and learning new styles of cooking. I have a collection of unusual cookbooks I take out from time to time just to read them. Some people express their creativity thru drawing or painting, I express my thru cooking!
I was born in 1990 and we got our first computer around 1995. I remember it came in a ginormous box and it was a top of the line Compaq computer. My parents had no idea how to use it, how to set it up, or what to even do with it once they turned it on. My friends all had computers so I knew exactly what to do, and what went where, and why it went there. I remember my parents were confused when I had a better idea of what was going on than they did.
Around 1999 we finally replaced our slow dial up connection with high speed internet. It worked perfect on every computer in the house except for my sister's. The guy who set up our internet couldn't figure out how to make it work on my sister's computer. My parents were too busy/afraid of technology to call up our service provider to figure it out, so I called up our service provider and asked if there was anything I could do to fix the problem. After about an hour of holding and going through a list of questions they determined they didn't know what was causing the problem. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and started digging through the box my sisters computer came in. Remember these were the days before everyone posted everything on the internet and it was before "Google" was popular. I came across a CD that resets the computer back to factory settings. I put it in the computer and reset it, installed all the correct drivers, and then plugged the ethernet cable into the back of the computer. I crossed my fingers as I opened Internet Explorer. Microsoft's webpage opened up and my sister now had internet on her computer. I later learned that the process of resetting a computer is called reformatting it.
Around 2000 I was in sixth grade, and my CD drive stopped reading CDs. I called Dell and told them my disc drive was dead. My computer was still under warranty and they sent me a new CD drive. I had never opened my computer case until then, I had no idea what I was doing. When I opened it I could see how the disc drive connected to the motherboard and I disconnected the old CD drive. I took out the old CD drive and sent it back to Dell. I continued to install the new one that Dell had sent me, and it worked perfect! I remember thinking this is what I want to do with my life.
I took all the computer classes I could possibly take during the rest of middle school and high school. In tenth grade the Kalamazoo Valley Community College counselors came in and showed us all the programs and degrees they offered, and soon as I saw "Computer Support Technician" I jumped all over it. As of today I am 5 classes away from completing that degree, and I still love it now as much as I did back in 1995 when we setup our first computer.
I moved to Japan 27 years ago to teach English with a B.S. in Int'l Mkg, discovered Taiko, turned 180 degrees from my path, and have never looked back. I teach the first taiko group in MI at Kalamazoo College, MI Hiryu Daiko (the 3rd MI group) in Kalamazoo, workshops all over the Midwest, after leaving my legacy of 19 years, Fushicho Daiko, in Phoenix, AZ. I study and perform in Japan almost every year. I love to share.

A library card is a key resource in achieving academic success, and the library is the perfect place to spend quality family time together.
I look forward to winter! Not for the snow, but because I know it is Competitive Cheer season. This year will be my tenth season as an MHSAA Competitive Cheer Official. I "geeked" cheerleading long before that though! My mom also geeks the sport and coached my team in middle school! I cheered in high school and college and coached for four years prior to becoming an official. Not only do I have the best seat in the gymnasium to watch competitions, but I also get to be a part of educational athletics.
Competitive cheer has one of the highest participation rates for female sports in the state. The enthusiasm, dedication and athleticism we see each year are amazing. I have been selected as a State Finals Panel Judge three years in a row!! I also serve on the Michigan Cheer Judges Association board where I manage our mentoring program for new officials and facilitate trainings in the state. Check out the MHSAA website to learn more about giving back as a registered official to the high school sport you once loved!
I know, it's super girly, but I geek sewing. It is so neat to be able to take a simple piece of fabric and make it into a dress or shirt that is totally unique, and fits you perfectly in size and style. I love to turn on an audiobook or CD from the library and sit down to sew as a way to unwind from a long day at work. And then when you finish something and put it on for the first time it is so exciting! (At this point I usually have a little fashion show for my lazy cat Buster who likes to sit by me and beg to have his belly rubbed while I sew.) I have found that the more I sew, the better become at it. The better I become, the more successful my projects are. The more successful my projects are, the more I geek it! It's a vicious (but wonderful) circle!!
