All risks in the goods shall pass to the customer on delivery, but the goods shall remain the property of Modelli Fabrics until paid for in full by the customer.
All care and attention is given to ensure that the technical information and advice is accurate but the seller does not warrant the accuracy thereof and the customer relies on the same at his own risk.
No goods can be released to customers until paid for in full.
Prices are subject to change.
All business is subject to our terms and conditions of business.
All prices on the website include VAT at the current rate applicable. The VAT amount is displayed on the final order page. We abide by the code of practice covering the use of personal data as outlined in the Data Protection Act of 1998.
Customers ordering goods outside the EEC are responsible for any local taxes and/or duties incurred.
Customers can either make payment through our website or by phone on 01949 851 116 - however our phones can be extremely busy so in order to avoid frustration we always recommend clients to order online wherever possible.
If paying online, customers will be taken to Sage Pay for payment after the order has been placed on our site. This is a specialist external site which offers extremely secure payment processing and is fully certified accordingly. When payments are made via Sage Pay, monies are held in escrow and are only drawn down by Modelli once goods are shipped.
If paying by phone, customers should be aware that although payment is done via Sage Pay by us on their behalf, monies are taken at point of payment and not when goods are shipped. This is because we do not have, nor would ever ask for, personal password details which clients need to enter when paying online. Because we skip this step in the process payment is immediate. We can however reassure customers that paying by phone is just as secure as paying online.

Pinske, Seeley place first for Linfield
The Linfield cross country team competed in the Puma Concordia Classic on Oct. 16 at Fernhill Park in Portland.
The meet brought new competition, as the team battled against Northwest University, Concordia University, Lane Community College, Treasure Valley Community College and three Canadian universities.
The Linfield men's team ran an 8K race and finished fifth out of eight teams, while the women ran a 5K race and placed fifth out of seven teams.
The University of British Columbia placed first on the men's side and Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, B.C., Canada) finished first for the women.
Senior Scott Pinske was Linfield's top placer for the men, clocking in at 20 minutes, 16
seconds and placing 20th.
Four of the other Linfield competitors finished in the top 50 with 73 runners in the race.
Freshman Joe Gladow, Linfield's second place runner, took 26th place overall with a time of 26:25. Sophomore Cameron
Chester finished in 37th place with a time of 27:03, while junior Alex Van Slyke followed close behind with a time of 27:21, taking 42nd place. Rounding out the top 50 was freshman Jason Hight, who took 48th place and crossed the finish line at 27:54.
"We had a good showing by Gladow and Pinske," Van Slyke said. "Overall it was a good meet for everyone who raced."
Finishing first for the 'Cats on the women's side was freshman Mimi Seeley, who clenched 25th place with a time of 18:42.
Three other runners completed the race in the top 50. Freshman Siena Noe and junior Shanna Peaden paced each other,
finishing in 46th and 47th places with times of 19:34 and 19:38, respectively. Freshman Hannah Greider sealed the top 50 with a time of 19:55.
"Our girls' team has performed very well up to this point," Noe said. "I think we're going to peak as individuals and as a team."
Conference is coming up on Oct. 30. Both the men and women's teams have solid top six competitors for the conference meet. The teams hope to make it to regionals, which fall on Nov. 13 in Salem, Ore.
"It's the end of the season so people are feeling anxious," Van Slyke said. "We have a solid group of guys that have been working hard all season, and the past few weeks have been indicating nothing but good results for conference."
The womens' team has a similar outlook.
"We've consistently narrowed the gaps between each other during races, so we're hoping this will make a big difference in our placing at conference," Noe said. "If we come to compete, we have a shot."

Hello fellow Dream Shakers!
First of all let me say that this is my first fan post after a couple of years reading and commenting on TDS. I would've liked to have got involved sooner but living in Australia means that I dont watch the Rockets games until I get home after work. By then, most of you folk would be fast asleep and/or probably not interested in hearing comments about the game the day before!
Anyway I am writing to open a discussion (hopefully) on a very interesting stat I picked up on whilst watching the Rox v Suns game yesterday. While (the surprisingly good) Phoenix commentators were taking note on Houston's' "scary" second unit, a quick stat flashed up listing the 4 lowest producing second units in the league. They were (I forget the order) Lakers, Heat, Orlando and Clippers. I would think that all 4 teams, in most peoples minds, would be contenders to the championship this season.
It got me thinking. The Heat would probably have a similar bench to last season as far as production goes (just guessing here though). The Heat didnt win the championship (yes I know they got close). The Dallas Mavericks however did win the championship. Now you will have to forgive me here because I have not done the research but I am guessing the Mavs, with Terry, Barea and co., had relatively high production from their bench during the regular season last season.
Where am I going with this? Well I am wondering if there are people out there who can shed a little light on whether poor bench production (lets say bottom 3 in the league) puts an automatic road block on a teams ability to win the championship. When was the last time a team with a bottom 3 in the league second unit (points production wise) won the championship? Has it happened before?
I guess where Im REALLY going with this is......the Rockets surely have one of the best second units in the league this season with regards to point production (again, a little help with the official stats please). Now I am not one to get excited simply because the boys have pulled 3 road wins against a DEPLETED Denver, a DEMORALIZED Portland and a D...............not so good Phoenix. But is this second unit production thing something we can genuinely get excited about? Secondly, does history suggest that a team with a low scoring bench cannot win the championship?
Please feel free to get involved and comment on my post (positively or negatively, I dont mind). Help me pop my TDS cherry!!!

Thomas Newman Radio
A second-generation member of Hollywood's preeminent musical dynasty, composer Thomas Newman carried on his family's legacy through a series of Academy Award-nominated film scores. Born in Los Angeles on October 20, 1955, he was the son of Alfred Newman and the nephew of Lionel and Emil Newman, all three renowned composers and conductors from Hollywood's golden age; Thomas' brother David also followed in the family business, as did their cousin, the sardonic singer/songwriter Randy Newman. Thomas studied piano and violin as a child, following a two-year stay at the University of Southern California by earning a master's degree in music from Yale. Although his early musical theater project Three Mean Fairy Tales was championed by Stephen Sondheim, Newman spent the better part of the late '70s playing keyboards in the rock band the Innocents and the improvisational combo Tokyo 77. In 1983, he broke into the film industry by orchestrating a John Williams cue from [RoviLink="VW"]Return of the Jedi, composing his first full score, [RoviLink="VW"]Reckless, the following year.
Newman's ethnic-inspired score to the 1985 Madonna vehicle [RoviLink="VW"]Desperately Seeking Susan proved his breakthrough, and he further honed his distinctive electro-orchestral approach on subsequent projects including 1987's [RoviLink="VW"]The Lost Boys and [RoviLink="VW"]Less Than Zero. Films including [RoviLink="VW"]Fried Green Tomatoes, [RoviLink="VW"]The Rapture, and [RoviLink="VW"]Scent of a Woman followed before Newman earned a pair of Oscar nominations in 1994 for his work on [RoviLink="VW"]The Shawshank Redemption and [RoviLink="VW"]Little Women; a year later, he received another Academy Award nomination for [RoviLink="VW"]Unstrung Heroes. Newman's fourth Oscar bid arrived with 1999's [RoviLink="VW"]American Beauty, which did not win the composer an Oscar for best score, but the soundtrack album, released by DreamWorks, did win the Grammy Award in its category. Newman received further Academy Award nominations in successive years for his work on [RoviLink="VW"]Road to Perdition (2002), [RoviLink="VW"]Finding Nemo (2003), and [RoviLink="VW"]Lemony SnicketGÇÖs A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004). He won another two Grammy Awards for his theme for the television series [RoviLink="VW"]Six Feet Under, best instrumental composition and best instrumental arrangement. His eighth Oscar nomination came with [RoviLink="VW"]The Good German (2006). ~ Jason Ankeny & William Ruhlmann

The Iowa boys and girls state track meets start May 16th in Des Moines. There were perfect conditions for Monday's city track meet, with the four city schools, Sgt. Bluff-Luton and South Sioux competing.
We start with the shot put. North's Max Stewart takes first with a toss of just over 46 feet.
In the boys 1600 meter run, Bishop Heelan senior Alec DeVries leads the Crusaders to a 1-2-3 finish.
Girls shuttle hurdle relay, Mackenzie Geary anchoring Heelan to a first place finish in 1 minute and 10 seconds. Geary, also a winner in the 100 hurdles, says with the weather turning around she hopes to get where she needs to be for districts and state.
"It's been hard to practice hurdles and high jump because we can't really practice inside and it's been really cold and snowy," Geary said. "That's been tough, but I think that as I'm going into these final few meets, I think I'm getting stronger, so that helps."
On the boys side, South Sioux City's Alex Borchers is first in the 110 hurdles crossing in 16 seconds.
In the girls 4x200 meter relay, East freshman Brittany Calvillo anchors the Black Raiders to the win in 1 minute 32 seconds.
In the girls 100 meter dash Heelan's Yasmine Rose edges out Calvillo by three hundredths of a second, 11.87 to 11.90 to take first.
A rematch from the Drake Relays in the boys 100. East's Ronald Nash beats Heelan's Zack Skibinski, by one-100th of a second.
"Felt good to redeem myself here today," Nash said. "I feel like I should have won. I got out pretty bad at Drake, so it felt good to redeem myself out here today."

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A prosecutor in Pennington County is proposing changes to South Dakota fireworks laws.
Cities can ban the use and sale of fireworks at will, but counties can ban them only if the fire danger is considered extreme. Deputy State's Attorney Jay Alderman says parts of a county might be in the extreme category while other parts might not be, making it difficult for law officers.
Pennington County commissioners are considering supporting legislation that would give counties the right to ban fireworks outright.

MORRISTOWN (WATE) - Police are investigating a wreck that left one person dead and injured two others on Friday night in Hamblen County.

Police said Sutton was transported to UT Medical Center via Lifestar.
Fergerson sustained minor injuries.
Officials have not identified the victim killed in the wreck.

Ha, he did get back to Gotham from the prison (Africa?) seemingly quite easily, the film doesn't dwell on it much and it doesn't bother me a great deal but it is a valid question.
Bane as a simple henchman was quite disappointing, for me it immediately renders his character and everything he did before as pointless, and any kind of character chemistry with batman also pointless. Is kind of summed up in the film when Catwoman blasts him to a quick undignified death.
I kind of hope it doesn't just get picked up by 'another director for hire' and continued. I think that the only way it can really go is down from here, would Bale do another film, if Blake took on the mantle of batman would it be well-received and would his character have the same gravitas and arc?
Though with the ending as it is I think it's almost set-up for a direct sequel, more so than from the previous film.

In response to the Governor's tax proposal, a national tax expert is urging Lawmakers to move cautiously.
University of Connecticut Professor Richard Pomp told a group of Senators that sudden, dramatic changes to tax policy could have unintended consequences.
Pomp says by eliminating the income tax, state revenue would become less predictable for lawmakers.

By Julie Straw - bio | email | twitter
JACKSON, TN (WLBT) - Two escaped inmates suspected of murder were on the run Thursday night. The men escaped Friday from the Louisiana State Police Headquarters Compound where they were on a work detail.
Tennessee investigators held a press conference Thursday to announce a gruesome discovery. 53 year old David Cupps of Ohio who was carjacked Monday in Vicksburg was found dead at a hotel in Bessemer, Alabama.
"Since we've located Mr. Cupps, he is deceased, we want the public to be aware. Really pay attention and please help us capture these individuals," said Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Agent John Mehr.
Armed and highly dangerous was how officers describe 33 year old Darian Pierce and 36 year old Ricky Wedgeworth. Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong said the pair stole Cupps rental car. They were last seen Tuesday in Jackson, Tennessee when a highway patrol officer pulled them over after recognizing the stolen vehicle. The escaped inmates ran away, leaving the vehicle behind.
"Blood was found on the backseat and the floor board," said Chief Armstrong.
Officials would not say how Cupps was killed or how his body ended up in Alabama. Federal investigators are now involved. Authorities believe the missing fugitives are still in Jackson, Tennessee. Billboards share their pictures and officers stop traffic to warn residents.
"We have no credible information that the suspects have left this area. (We have) no information about it so we have to assume they're still here," said Jackson County Sheriff David Woolfork.
"They're criminals, they're trying to get away and they are going to do whatever means possible as we've already seen," said Agent Mehr.
Chief Armstrong also discovered Thursday the fugitives hitch hiked into Vicksburg from Louisiana Friday. They were in the river city for three days without any reported criminal activity, until the deadly carjacking.

Many in Salem disappointed by casino vote
With the House also voting against reconsideration, the bill won't return before the legislature during the current two-year session.
Salem's nine state representatives, all Republican, were divided on the issue, with five voting in favor, three voting against and one declining to vote on the item.
Representatives Patrick Bick, Marilinda Garcia and John Sytek voted against the casino bill, while Rep. Bianca Garcia wasn't present in Concord on Wednesday.
"Obviously, I'm very disappointed in the actions of the House," Azarian said on Thursday. "We had the chance to add more jobs, to get needed revenues for education, for the Interstate 93 expansion. Now we'll be facing a huge budgetary shortfall."
William Wortman, co-owner of Millennium Gaming, Inc., was traveling on Thursday and was unable to be reached for comment.
A call made to Rockingham Park president and general manager Edward Callahan wasn't immediately returned on Thursday.
"Many residents were in favor of having a casino in New Hampshire and building that casino here in Salem," Hickey said. "So as it stands now, we're left with no choice but to move forward as best as we can."
There's no doubting the failure of SB 152 will be felt strongly by local retailers, particularly the vendors at the nearby Mall at Rockingham Park.
Contacted on Thursday, Simon Property Group, owners of the Mall at Rockingham Park, declined to comment on the rejection of the casino bill.
Salem Selectman Stephen Campbell, who served on the town's casino advisory committee, said he was "extremely disappointed" with Wednesday's outcome, noting that 81 percent of Salem's voters had indicated they favored expanded gambling via a non-binding question that appeared on the March ballot.
Campbell said the reality of potential revenues lost with the failure of the casino bill would "hopefully sink in" with the folks in Concord over the coming five weeks.
"It's a very sad day for the town of Salem as well as for the state," Moore said on Thursday. "This is a huge economic defeat for us and I'm bitterly disappointed in our local representatives for not supporting this."
"A big concern is this could ultimately result in an income tax for New Hampshire," he said. "It will be interesting to see how the governor handles the $80 million shortfall we're facing in revenues now, and I hope this doesn't mean further cuts for our schools, for social services."

Lonegan: New Rutgers-Eagleton poll showing him down 35 points 'notoriously off'
From the Political State blog on NorthJersey.com
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Steve Lonegan woke up to news this morning that he now faces a 35-point deficit with roughly a month left in the special election to fill the seat of the late Frank Lautenberg.
Lonegan, the former Bogota mayor who's been endorsed by Governor Christie, is getting support from 29 percent of New Jersey's likely voters while Democratic opponent Cory Booker is winning 64 percent, according to the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll released Wednesday morning.
During a news conference on education policy in Trenton on Wednesday, Lonegan cited Rutgers-Eagleton poll results from past statewide elections, including Christie's 2009 gubernatorial contest against then-incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine, in a rebuttal of the latest results.
"The Eagleton poll is notoriously off," Lonegan said. "The poll that matters is on October 16."
Christie has also criticized the poll last year after he didn't like the results of one of its surveys.
Lonegan was joined for his event outside the state Department of Education building in Trenton by a group of parents who are concerned about the state's adoption of common core curriculum standards that he says gives the federal government too much influence when it comes to education. The state gets millions of dollars in federal education aid, but one requirement is that it adopts the standards.
"No one-size-fits-all standard will serve these children, nor will it serve our nation," said Lonegan, whose wife is a longtime teacher. "We should not allow the federal government to take over control of our students' minds."
If elected to the Senate, Lonegan said he would "Lead the fight to reverse common core."
A Booker campaign spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment and an explanation of Booker's position on the issue.

The International Institute for Conservation (IIC) will hold its 2016 conference in Los Angeles, the organisation's president Sarah Staniforth announced on Tuesday, at its annual general meeting in London.
The institute has picked a hot topic as the theme for its biennial congress: conservation issues related to the use of modern materials. The vast number of new media available to artists presents an interesting challenge for conservators because some of these materials are unstable and treatments are often untested. Issues can also arise when conservators try to balance the desires of the artist with the needs of the work entrusted to their care. Staniforth said that she expects a "big turnout" for the event, which will be held at the historic Biltmore Hotel from 12 to 16 September 2016. The conference is being organised in collaboration with the International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (INCCA). This year's event will be held in Hong Kong from 22 to 26 September. For more information, visit: www.iiconservation.org

I hope that the IIC will publish its findings and post them here. As a multi media artist, I would love to hear what the current findings are regarding the stability of modern materials. It would certainly impact artists and art communities, and thier suppliers. As an artist I rely on what various companies who produce our supplies, say about their products. Until now, practical information about these products are primarily shared within the artist communities. Much of the integrity of our work rests heavily on such information as we strive to give our very best. An objective view by proffesional conservatives would be a welcome insight, for better or worse, so that we might be able to better tailor our mediums and their use as needed to insure a better archival life in our work. I'm sure that many of the manufacturers of such products would also be interested to here about this as well.

West Cornwall restaurants sign up to help the homeless
8:00am Sunday 4th November 2012 in News
Restaurants in West Cornwall have signed up to a scheme to help support homless charities.
Rosewarne Manor in Hayle, Treloyhan Manor in St Ives and Archie Browns in Penzance have joined Bustophers, The Riverbank and Archie Browns in Truro, the Old Quay Inn in Devoran, the Golden Lion in Stithians, Courtyard Deli and Amanzi in Falmouth, the Waterside in Flushing, to support the StreetSmart scheme.
StreetSmart is a national campaign that runs every November with money raised in each county supporting local charities in that area, with £8,000 raised last year
The Cornwall campaign will support St Petroc's Society, the Cornwall Women's Refuge Trust and the Cornish branches of Foodbank.
The scheme works by restaurants asking customer's permission to add £1 onto each table's bill during November and December. Every pound donated goes to the charities.
All of the restaurants taking part are listed on StreetSmart's website at www.streetsmart.org.uk.

Go and see this movie right now. Spectacular performance from Heath Ledger. Gripping, Intense, and fabulous. This film is very dark, but if you are into Intense action and thrilling ends, this is one of the best shows you can see.March 29th, 2013 · Details1 Thank ·
It's no coincidence that this film is titled The Dark Knight, as this film explores a much darker Gotham City, one that is being held captive by a menacing and enigmatic psychopath, the Joker. His goal in the film appears to be to break people until they are a shell of their former self and become a dark version of themselves. The Joker truly just wants to watch the world burn, and burn it does.
Bruce Wayne also faces off with Harvey Dent, as he tries to reclaim his rightful place alongside his lost love Rachel Dawes.
The Joker's performance in this film is revered by many to be the best part of this film, but I find that without Batman to counter the Joker, his performance would have been seen as way too over the top. Batman's darkness thrusts him into doing good for his city, just as the Jokers darkness motivates him to do what he does; create chaos, steal people's hope and break their spirit.
Harvey Dent is badly injured and disfigured by a chemical explosion, but Two-Face is truly created by The Joker. Two-Face doesn't get enough screen time or a big enough role in this film, as it's apparent he's not meant to be the main villain, but merely a distraction so the Joker can keep up with his own plans for destruction.
This film delivers in a big way with a hero you can believe in and a villain you can truly not figure out, but is so devious that he's as fun to watch as the Batman is. You may even find yourself rooting for the Joker at times.
The film is not nearly as slow as Batman Begins and has much more violence than it. The Joker and Two-Face's appearance on-screen may be a bit haunting for younger kids, I'd say 13 and up should be fine with it.August 17th, 2013 · Details
Honestly, I couldn't get past the opening scene of this movie. It was so violent and so disturbing, I had to walk out. I don't care if it is Heath Ledger's amazing final performance. Violence is violence and filth is filth.August 9th, 2013 · Details
Great show if you like Batman, but be prepared for a dark film with some senseless killing and disturbing violence.
This is not a kids movie.
It really shows the insanity factor of the Joker as a villain. As previously stated, be prepared for a dark movie.July 31st, 2012 · Details
From its beginning to end, this movie is an absolute master piece of cinematography and story telling. Ledger as the Joker essentially steals the show. Despite this, I was drawn back to the Batman and his self sacrifice in the end. The message of what he stands for resonates on a deeply Christian level.
This is a Low R in my opinion for disturbing implied violence and some rough language. This is not for anyone under the age of 14.September 3rd, 2011 · Details
Honestly, I couldn't get past the opening scene of this movie. It was so violent and so disturbing, I had to walk out. I don't care if it is Heath Ledger's amazing final performance. Violence is violence and filth is filth.August 18th, 2011 · Details
The story, the acting, the effects and the whole cinematic feel of the movie is like no other. It might be a bit dark for some people and it's certainly not meant for kids. But otherwise excellent movie!August 17th, 2011 · Details
Just for Heath Ledger's performance alone it's worth a watch. His portrayal of the Joker really made this movie, in my opinion.August 7th, 2011 · Details
Way too dark and disturbing for most people.July 19th, 2011 · Details
Good, but not as great as everyone raved. Fairly dark and sordid.May 21st, 2011 · Details
This is a very good movie, especially considering it is a batman movie. I enjoyed watching it once, but probably won't see it again due to its length.April 12th, 2011 · Details
Incredible acting. However this is a VERY dark movie. I recommend looking at the KIM scene descriptions before allowing your children to watch it.March 2nd, 2011 · Details
Well-done movie with a performance by Heath Ledger that will forever cement him as the PERFECT Joker. It is safe to say that no one will ever play the role better. The rest of the movie is rather routine - it is Ledger's performance that makes the film. Very dark, very disturbing, very much only for an adult maturity level.February 15th, 2011 · Details
As its title suggests, "The Dark Knight" really is dark. It's dark as night, as a matter of fact ...
To be honest, there's even some question as to the age-appropriateness of this superhero movie, which is an even-more-disturbing follow-up to the 2004 hit "Batman Begins."
Like the earlier movie, this is pretty violent stuff, and there's material that may give young ones nightmares especially those who are younger than 10.
However, those who are made of sterner stuff or are more mature will find the movie thrilling and surprisingly heady. It's as much a morality thriller and a gangster epic as it is a comic book action/adventure.
So, it turns out those early comparisons to "The Godfather II" weren't nearly as ridiculous as they once sounded. They're warranted, and that's a huge compliment.
This time around, Batman (Christian Bale) must face off with the Joker (Heath Ledger), a scarred and disturbed criminal who's first seen in the film robbing a bank that's mostly filled with mobster loot. (That opening bit was one of six sequences that were filmed in the IMAX format, and is best viewed that way.)
He also sees the Caped Crusader as his equal and begins playing a series of murderous games in attempt to get his attention.
To deal with this new threat, the masked vigilante needs help. And he's not sure if he can really trust Gotham's new district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), who's trying to use legal methods to deal with the city's rampant crime.
Harvey is also the romantic rival of Batman's alter-ego, Bruce Wayne. He's now dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), Bruce's childhood sweetheart.
Co-screenwriter/director Christopher Nolan has taken a lot of chances here. One of them is the film's 2 1/2-hour running time, which seems a little long on the surface. And he's added new characters to an ensemble that was already large.
But most, if not all, of those risks have paid off. The performances are terrific and this feels different, more substantive, than any superhero movie that's come before it.
And besides, the whole thing would be worthwhile if for nothing else than the late Ledger's brilliant and creepy performance as the unhinged, deranged villain. Hopefully, his achievement will be remembered when film-award season comes around. His loss to cinema will be felt for years.
"The Dark Knight" is rated PG-13 for strong scenes of violent action (shootings and gunplay, brawling, knife violence, fisticuffs, explosive and vehicular mayhem, and violence against animals and women), sequences depicting torture and interrogation, drug content (various toxins, poisons and the like), scattered profanity, some brief gore, derogatory slurs and language, and some crude slang. Running time: 152 minutes.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- During a Republican presidential debate Saturday, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had a spat about who was more conservative as each clawed for blocks of Republican voters needed to topple front-runner Mitt Romney.
According to a study done back in 2004 though, Paul was the more conservative of the two by a fairly healthy margin.
|Rick Santorum
A list put together at voteview.com found that out of the 3,320 individuals (1 being the most liberal and 3,320 being the most conservative) who had served in the House or Senate from 1937 to 2002, Santorum ranked 2,674, while Paul ranked 3,320.
"Four or five times he voted to raise the national debt, so that tells you how conservative he is," Paul said Saturday about Santorum. Based on the survey, Paul could question pretty much any politician's conservative record against his own.The scores were based on all roll calls cast in the period. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich slotted in at 2,893. Paul finished second in the New Hampshire primaries Tuesday night partly thanks to independent voters in the state who turned out, while Santorum -- who's social conservative message found traction in Iowa -- slid into a virtual tie with Gingrich behind third-place finisher Jon Huntsman. "I sorta have to chuckle when they describe you and me as being dangerous," Paul said to supporters in a speech after the primary. "That's one thing they are telling the truth about, because we are dangerous to the status quo." The GOP field will canvass South Carolina through Jan. 21 as each candidate attempts to pitch a conservative message to Southern voters who are skeptical of Romney's record. A Rasmussen Reports poll released Jan. 3 found that 26% of likely U.S. voters regarded Romney as a moderate. Interestingly, Paul also ranked next to Romney as the perceived least conservative option in the GOP presidential field. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email. >Follow Joe Deaux on Twitter.

Gah! Sort out your bloody software, HP, and stop making each installation take an hour!

Community Leader's View: Thank you for helping UCSD "Achieve the Extraordinary"By Marye Anne Fox
Chancellor, UCSD
It's hard to remember a time when UC San Diego did not sit atop the cliffs of La Jolla. The campus was established 50 years ago and has since become an integral part of the La Jolla community. Right before the community's eyes, the university has been transformed from a fledgling campus to a world-renowned research institution.
UC San Diego plays a leading and much-noted role in the biotech and high-tech industries, with our faculty, staff and alumni creating more than 600 companies nationwide, including many companies on the mesa that directly benefit La Jolla. Members of the UCSD community have contributed billions to the local economy through innovation, job creation and spending. And the university continues to produce skilled scholars, scientists, doctors and other workers who create strong growth in their chosen fields, and who are ready to tackle the challenges of the future. Our world-class medical facilities bring care and comfort to families throughout the region, and quickly move life-saving discoveries from the laboratory to the bedside.
This past year, as we've celebrated our 50th anniversary year, we've reflected on the support we've received from our neighbors in La Jolla and in San Diego, and we've concentrated on giving back to the communities that have supported us since our founding. Our service initiative Volunteer50, specially created for our anniversary year, led 3,300 members of the UCSD community to perform more than 62,000 hours of service, here in our area and around the world. I am proud of their accomplishments, and the achievements of the entire UC San Diego community over the last five decades. Service, like education and research, is the essence of our mission.
And now, as we look forward to the next 50 years and the future contributions we hope to make, I thank the La Jolla community for supporting our campus, our people and our vision. And I thank the thousands of UC San Diego students, staff, faculty, alumni and supporters who've helped to shape our history and continue to blaze our trail into the future.

With the arrival of broadband connections in homes and schools, the growing
availability of digital video (DV) camcorders, and the improvement of video
editing software, we see more and more students and teachers using video as
part of their computer and Web projects. I've seen third-graders explain the
metamorphosis of a caterpillar with a narrated video. I've seen high-schoolers
shoot and edit complex dramatic history stories with dozens of scenes. I've
visited schools where digital video production courses are a growing part of
the formal curriculum. They're using iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle DV,
and Final Cut video editing software, with the computer as the development platform,
and output to videotape, DVD, CD-ROM, and the Web.
Suddenly the generation that has grown up with six hours a day of television
is enabled by new technologies to produce and distribute their own media. And
many teachers are capitalizing on all this to use video production to strengthen
While the kids tend to be facile with the computer and the editing software,
they often ignore the quality of the video they are editing. We've all seen
examples of good content, excellent cutting and titling and transitions, but
with video that's tough to see, hard to hear, and not professional-looking.
This article provides some practical advice on getting good video into your
editing program. It won't teach you to be a videographer, but it should serve
to improve those educational video projects.
No matter what kind of camera you use, or which video editor on your computer,
following these guidelines for lighting, composition, audio, and retakes will
get you started in the right direction.
You should make a list of the shots you need for your video project, along
with the purpose and setting for each one. You don't need a detailed script,
but you should prepare an outline of the images and sounds and voices that you
need. Share this outline with the people you are shooting in advance of the
Make sure the subject is well-lit, preferably from behind the camera. Light
from the side that creates interesting shadows on the subject, will provide
video that shows off facial expressions, color and texture better than light
from directly above or straight on. Indoors, you may want to use an extra light
- any light will do - that shines from the side onto your subject. Classroom
fluorescent lights in the ceiling can provide some light, but their color and
location is not the best for video. Supplement these with an incandescent lamp
at the side and you'll get better video.
Use a tripod if possible for all of your shooting. A tripod makes a bigger
difference than you might think. Steady video is easier to watch, and compresses
better for the Web. Carefully frame your shot in the viewfinder from the tripod
before you start recording. Zoom in for as tight a shot as you can get. Don't
be afraid to let the subject fill the viewfinder - if it's an interview, experiment
with a shot that only shows the face. Keep the clips short and active. Avoid
rapid pans and zooms. Unless you are trying to create a mood of activity and
confusion, keep the background simple.
If you are recording an interview, use an external microphone placed near the
speaker's mouth. Pin the mike to the subject's shirt, or have an assistant hold
the mike for you just off-camera. You can get a small microphone from your local
video or electronic store - a standard inexpensive microphone with a one-eighth
inch phone plug will suffice. Connect the microphone to the microphone jack
of the camcorder. If it's impossible to use a microphone, shoot from less than
three feet away and tell the subject to speak loudly toward the built-in microphone
in the camcorder. You can assure the quality of your audio by monitoring it,
using standard headphones connected to the camcorder's headphone jack.
After you've shot the clip, and while the subjects are still available, rewind
the tape to watch (also listen to) what you've just recorded. If it's not 100%
what you need, shoot it again. It's OK to shoot the same scene several times
and pick the best clip later. In fact, you might try shooting from a different
angle, with different lighting, or with a new form of composition, so you have
some choices when it comes time to edit the video. It's a lot easier to shoot
the additional takes now than to try and recreate the shot another day. Always
start the camera recording at least five seconds before you start the action,
and let it run for five seconds after you're done.
Shooting Video
Now, you are ready to shoot the video clips for your project. You don't need
long and involved clips for most educational projects. As you begin your movie-making
career, it's best to make a short video rather than an hour-long documentary.
A movie of two to three minutes is long enough to tell your story and to practice
all of the capabilities of the editing software. This means planning and shooting
brief, well-defined clips. And make sure you have a fresh DV cartridge, cued
to a blank place on the tape, before you press the record button. If your camera
is not wired to the electricity, make sure the battery is charged. Then follow
these steps:
Follow these simple guidelines, and you'll be surprised with how much better
your video can be.

I'm sure you have one... or two. They're friends, kinda. Sometimes you don't like them, and they're enemies. Nevertheless, you keep them close because that like/dislike thing is pretty chemical and fun. And you gotta watch your back :-)
If you're in Southern California, stop by Vroman's Books on Friday, June 22 at 7 pm for a Frenemies book event. Frenemies, a novel, is written by Megan Crane. Never met her, but she's a friend of my friend, author Liza Palmer. So I guess that makes us associates. Hmmm.
I've heard some good things about Frenemies. Might end up on the summer pile of books.
Sometimes a book can be a better friend than that frenemy in your life.

DBlog week: 10 things I Hate about you, Diabetes
Today's Second Annual D-Blog Week prompt is: 10 things I hate about diabetes. Here goes.)
Okay so first, I just don't like the word "hate." There's something corrosive about it; something that seeps into your hearts and just wins over you. I told my kids while growing up: don't use "hate." Try to put a more tempered adjective one whatever it is you are upset about. Dislike it. Be annoyed by it. "Grrrrrrr" it. But try not to hate it.
That's pretty hard when Type 1 diabetes comes into your life – and the life of your child. But still, if I let hate crawl into my soul and take over these 14 years of helping my daughter grow up with diabetes I'd be even more scarred by all this than I am. That said, it's good to verbalize what gets to you. So, here goes. From the mom of the person with diabetes point of view (I would bet my daughter's are different. But she's in the middle of finals at college so I'm not asking her today).
10) It bothers me when I realized that in a way, I'm living life in a kind of suspended animation. So much of all this depends on blind faith. We read that some people take perfect care of themselves and suffer complications; others are not as vigilant and live for decades without an issue. Yes, the right choice is to do all we can (because why tempt it), but it bothers me that there's a chance of the unthinkable anyway.
9) It is hard – even after 14 years of practice – to take a deep breath and not throttle the people who say the nasty things. They don't know they're being nasty; they think they are helping. Things like "Well, it's been a while. Aren't you all used to it now?" And, "I read that there are pills your daughter can take now instead of shots. You should look into that." How about the wicked one: "Is she regulated?" Gosh, I dislike that word. And of course, "My grandma died of diabetes. But . . . she ate jelly doughnuts. Just keep away from those." Once at a youth soccer game someone said something about me needing to look into "getting her off those shots." My sister – who was there – swears the entire field stopped all action and leaned in to hear how I was going to respond. I think I said something polite. But I'm sure I thought something mean.
Eight) It troubles me when I have to spend hours and hours on the phone with insurance companies fighting to get the stuff we don't really want anyway – insulin and needles and test strips and canulas and site changes. Seriously. We've been with the same insurance for almost all 14 years and I still have to fight. One time when my daughter was little, the insurance company decided we were getting too many pump sites. (How to explain that you cannot just take the days of the month and divide them by three. Sites go bad. They get lost in bags. They get crushed when you are not careful storing them when you go skiing or to the beach or to wherever.) Finally I said to the woman on the phone: "Look, lady. These things stink. My daughter has to take a huge needle and shove it into her body to put it in. They are scary. We are not exactly stocking up on them to put them in birthday party loot bags." She was humbled into stopping the fight. But it goes on. I just don't like it.
7) It saddens me when I think of all my daughter has faced with grace – like lows and highs in school, figuring out how to wear a pump with a prom dress without ruining the look, the constant battles with me when she was a younger teen. I could go on and on at the moments I wish I could have just erased. And yet she goes on – with grace. It's a proud sadness though.
6) It frustrates me when I see politics get in the way of working toward a cure; particularly when volunteers are involved. I know we can all be, umm, passionate almost to a fault sometimes, but never, ever should we turn against one another. There is nothing more pure than a person fighting for a cure. We should all respect and accept one another. Always.
5) It exhausts me when I let worry get the best of me. The other night, with my daughter 500 miles away and preparing for her final exams in college, I literally tossed and turned, got up and paced and tossed and turned some more all night long worrying about her. What if her bgs were high for finals? Is she really taking her shots when she is supposed to? I want her to come home with good grades AND with good labs like she did last semester. In a way I kind of miss when she was little and I controlled her world. I need to trust. And not let diabetes steal my sleep in this way and leave me cranky the next day.
4) It challenges me when I want to be burned out and just let it be. I want to free up the time I spend helping families and volunteering for a cure and just use it for something else. And anyway, who am I to think I can really make a difference? But in a way, my volunteer work makes me feel selfish too. It gives me hope and support and sometimes, power. And that, in the end:
3) Shames me. How dare I take anything positive from all this? It feels wrong sometimes.
2) It shocks me when I realize how all this can be so all consuming, even now with my daughter off at college. Diabetes seeps into every crevasse of your life, and kind of like the fine dust from the sheet rock when you do a home improvement, it is impossible to not find it in every corner, forever and ever. Things linger ahead and on them I can see the residue even now: Will my daughter find a spouse who truly gets all this and cares for her and supports her completely? Will she eventually have children and not have it be the most worrisome, stressful experience so far in her life? Will she find a job with co-workers who understand and embrace her despite all this? Will there be prevention before my grandchildren come along?
1) But it gives me such pride when I look at how my daughter lives. She's not been perfect in her life with diabetes, but man has she been real. She's strong, funny, interesting, benevolent, and in my eyes, so very beautiful from the inside as much as from the outside. So yeah, I hate diabetes, but I love my child it is in so much that I simply have to work with it until I can banish it.

This is wonderful, couldn't have said it better – especially the part about the things people say. A friend of mine keeps telling me she knows type 1 diabetics and that they're in perfect control now that they're adults. Is there really such a thing? I know plenty of adults, and not one who would tell me their control is perfect.
Wow – you hit on everything that I have been feeling; except – now that that Sammy is at college, it seems I took a vacation from diabetes – she came home at Christmas and asked me to help her with her pump; it was like I was hit on the head. I had a 4 month vacation from diabetes and she still had to deal with it every minute of every day! I felt ashamed of myself, sad at the whole situation, yet happy for Sammy that she is in control of her life now and apparently doing well.
Glad to see that Lauren is at George Mason – we took a tour there and really liked it, but Sammy wanted to go to Boston!
Great list! Thanks for not using "hate" – it really doesn't do any good or take it away, so thanks for working with it. My mom taught us not to use that word too! And when my kids were little that was like a swear-word for them!
I really disliked the mini panic attacks that overcame me and took all my will to shrug off and put a smile on my face and stay encouraging from day to day. I would say most of them were sleep deprived induced.
Good Luck with Finals Lauren!
Wow, what a list Moira! Thank you so much for sharing it, and for offering a great response next time I'm on the phone fighting with insurance company zombies about the need for more strips or sets! Oh, and nice job on maintaining your composure that day on the soccer field – I so wouldn't have!
I dislike so much the fact that uninformed people feel that they are qualified to judge how we manage our kids diabetes. At a recent meeting at my sons school, to discuss his progress in academics, the VERY first question asked, and directed at the school nurse was " is Jeffrey's diabetes in good control? " this was asked by the school psychologist . I can't help wondering if they think he is not in good control? Why is it okay for her to ask that?
This list touched on some REALLY important stuff to recognize about diabetes and I thank you for that. Great job!
Moria – I don't remember how I found your site but I am so glad I did! Your list covers every thought I have had these past 5 years. I have not had to deal with college yet (and keep hoping for miracles in the next 4 years until I do) so the only thing I would add is: I STRONGLY DISLIKE the 5 years diabetes has stolen from my other 2 amazing kids. They would never complain but I know secretly, deep down they STRONGLY DISLIKE how this disease has changed their family.
OK – I do hate when I spell names wrong! Sorry Moira – early morning after testing all night makes for bad typing:)
