Quick sketches – COLOUR !
Weekly sketchbook round up
Here is a selection of this weeks sketchbook drawings. All made during the journey to the day job and lunch breaks. I'm currently finishing of some commissions. I'm also working on two new comics, Black Leather and Tracks. More soon. Also putting together an event for November. Oooh, tease !
Recent sketchbook images
I have been active with a lot of sketchbook action recently. Usually posted via my phone during my day lunch break.
So here are few better scans of a few of them. I don't have a lot of time to make these drawings. Normally I would make the sketch during my journey into work. I have learnt to go with the wobbly train line, and draw straight into my sketchbook with a pen. I will then colour them in during my lunch, posting via Instagram with some pithy text. I would like to spend more time making these drawing more refined. But it never happens. Hey! That's what sketchbooks are for.
reviews, sketches and free stuff
My recent comic Rain On Glass (BUY IT HERE ) was reviewed on the ever excellent MOMBcast. Thank you for that.
I have uploaded a FREE pdf that combines my napkin sketches. This was a brief fad that happened over the winter months.
Now that has ended and been documented, i'm now adding colour to my daily sketches. Above is one of theme, Scrap face.
Sketchbook – Bacon face
Sketchbook 8-3-14
I quite like the artifacts in this drawing. The next page showing through, page numbers, dodgy levels. Other tan that, another sketch book drawing.
If you have time and are interested in some of my products, then check out the Phatcomics shop. Plenty of comics and prints available at reasonable prices. All sales go towards making more artwork. Thank you.

Following on from our July marketing seminar, here is another top tip to more effective SME marketing. This month we highlight the growing trend in Quick Response (QR) codes.
Whilst the QR code debate rages on and we assess whether this is a passing fad or a marketing phenomenon, the last year has certainly proven that QR campaigns can work effectively for the larger brands. From Coca Cola to Tesco, more and more companies are adapting their marketing campaigns to take advantage of the latest technology and consumer engagement channels available.
So is it worthwhile for SMEs to jump on board the latest marketing bandwagon?
SMEs may feel that technology such as QR codes is best left to bigger firms, with more resources and a deeper understanding of how it works. However, with QR codes, this is simply not the case; they can benefit the marketing of organisations of all sizes.
A QR code is a marketing tool that can help drive consumers to
specific content of your choosing, such as a landing pages on
your website, contact details or competition entry forms.
QR codes are cheap and easy to generate online. All your prospect
needs to access them is a smart phone. Studies from 2011 indicate
that businesses were reluctant to introduce QR codes, with only
8% of businesses thinking that QR codes were worthwhile; however,
in 2012 the numbers changed significantly, with 47% of businesses
declaring that their brand would benefit from introducing QR
codes into their marketing, due to the rise in smart phone
adoption amongst consumers.
How can my business use QR codes?
QR codes are currently dominating the consumer market, from packaging, magazine adverts, bus stops and billboards, the list is endless.
Tesco in South Korea is a great example of a forward thinking QR campaigns. In order to help save time, Tesco found a clever way to bring the grocery store to the consumer. Tesco launched a QR code campaign that plastered enormous images of food items on to South Korean subway walls. These images came with a QR code and allowed consumers to scan individual food items to be loaded in their virtual shopping cart. Once they finished their checkout, their order was processed and delivered to the consumer's doorstep.
If you were at the Olympics this year, you may have noticed that
QR codes were sitting right at the centre of mobile engagement
during the 2012 games, linking supporters to Olympic action,
promotions, merchandise and information.
Before and throughout the Olympics, Southwest trains used QR codes to help their customers plan their journey in a timely fashion, so the passenger could avoid any confusion during the games.
QR codes are not just for the big players. QR campaigns can be
used in various ways within an SME environment, from business
cards and adverts to direct mail and merchandise. QR codes
are a cheap, effective addition to many marketing campaigns and
can be used to increase the effectiveness and measurability of
campaigns. Common ideas include:
"Scan this product to download a recipe straight to your phone"
"Scan to 'Like' us on Facebook and get 20% off this purchase!"
"Scan to enter our latest competition"
Like any marketing activity, it is essential to have a campaign strategy in place, offering something special or unique. You need to understand your target audience, have a clear objective in mind and most importantly, provide valuable information to encourage the user to interact with your brand.
Businesses should always measure the results from any marketing campaign, QR codes included. Did your website receive more traffic? Did the campaign generate more sales, Twitter followers or 'Likes' on Facebook? Whilst trying out the latest marketing trend can be fun, ultimately the campaign needs to generate results for your business.
To create your free QR code today, click here.
2012 has arrived and we are very excited! It is time to look at the challenges and opportunities ahead and start planning your marketing strategy for 2012, if you haven't done so already.
Relationships are key
According to numerous marketing sources and we'd agree, the future of marketing lies in customer relationships. This is supported by the rise of social media, where consumers can engage with your brand at anytime. Gone are the days when companies could control external communications concerning their organisation. The power now resides with the consumer or client. Listening and responding to their needs is vital.
Traditional advertising is over
Your customer's ability to identify whether what's being promoted is something useful to them or just "advertising" has become infinitely more acute. According to Andrew Baird at Amazing Business, ignoring ads is at an all time high, so successful marketing relies on being shared online. Customers can then "like", recommend and share their opinions through this medium.
Word of mouth marketing
Now more than ever, a consistent online presence is crucial to business success. Through conducting regular client surveys on behalf of our clients, TLC Business has persistently found that referrals, whether on or offline, are still a vital tool for sourcing a new service. The rise in social media activity has made it much easier for consumers to recommend or advise against a service and have their message shared far beyond their own social circles. This is further verified by the Buyersphere 2011 report on changing B2B buyer behavior, which identifies referrals as one of the most influential channels when appointing and sourcing a supplier.
Integrated on and offline
Alongside active consumer engagement, TLC Business emphasises the importance of on and offline marketing convergence. With all the noise about digital marketing, it is easy to forget that more traditional marketing methods can still be incredibly effective. Using both mediums together can result in greater returns on your marketing investment. Integral to successfully implementing this strategy is ensuring all your marketing efforts support each other, working in unison, rather than each independently in its own bubble. For successful integration, make sure online and offline business campaigns are consistent, coherent and in sync with each other.
QR codes
TLC Business' Director, Josh Spencer, believes that 2012 will be the year QR codes finally realise their potential and become more widely used. For those that haven't heard, QR is short for Quick Response. These barcodes are used to take a piece of information from an advertisement or product and transfer it to a mobile device. For small businesses, this code can be added to a wide variety of marketing material, including: stationery, adverts, promotional items, posters, stands etc. and direct users to a specific landing page. Using this tool means that information about your business can be accessed instantaneously and at any time. Crucially, it also gives businesses a fantastic way of measuring the effectiveness of a variety of marketing tools that previously would have proved difficult.
Don't get lazy
Don't rest on your laurels. What has worked in the past will not necessarily prove effective today. Make sure you adopt strategies that are up-to-date with today's "switched on" consumers and exploit the latest improvements in marketing tools and technology. For businesses looking to grow their client base and improve customer relations, developing a well rounded and relevant marketing plan is essential. In today's fast moving society, marketing strategies should be constantly evolving and changing; tools that were successful in 2011, may not be as effective in 2012.
Do your homework
The beginning of a new year also allows business owners the opportunity to diversify their marketing. Research shows that 57% of entrepreneurs interviewed said that marketing was their top priority this year. SMEs that want to continue to build their reputation in the marketplace in 2012 must be aware of consumer needs. Experimenting with different channels will enhance your opportunities, so what better time to try new approaches. Determine those channels that are most profitable and those that aren't. The New Year marks a time for change, and small businesses are no exception. By refreshing your marketing strategy, you can breathe new life into your business and make 2012 a great your for your business.
We are looking forward to joining you on your journey!

Todays's Farmer Market find ; FreeStone Georgia Peaches:
About the Georgia Freestone Peach Variety
The last Georgia peach variety that we grow is the Freestone Peach. Georgia Freestone peaches are great for eating fresh, freezing and perfect for peach recipes. This variety of Georgia peaches received their name from the stone or pit being easily removed.
Georgia Freestone peaches are the most common peaches found in the local supermarkets. Freestone peaches usually are larger than Clingstone peaches, firm, has a less juicy texture and are still sweet. Their skin is pale yellow with some red coloring. Freestone peaches are excellent for canning and baking.....
Now if I can only follow recipes , I would have Text book Apple Peach Cobbler. But where is the culinary adventure in that. So how did my mis read creation turn out. The wife said,"This is excellent" "Do we have to save the rest for church Family group ? " "Yes dear" Was my response , "I made another pan of it for them"
Let me explain how I almost messed up.I read the boxed Pie crust directions and thought it read 1 1/3 cup cold water for two 9 inch crusts. So I added one cup cold water and 1/3 cup maple syrup. It was my intention to sweeten up the crust with something that would compliment the cobbler. I simply did not have enough experience with pie crust to realize I only needed 1/3 cup liquid for 2 pie crusts. So I took my soupy pie crust,buttered my 2 cobbler pans and evenly divided my crusts between them. I placed my combobulation in a 350 F oven and went about the business of creating the Oatmeal topping and Peach Apple filling. The Filling was unique due to off brand diet coke that I used in place of water
{ I encouraged the wife to place Off brand soda in the shopping cart because name brand was twice as much this week} She does not like the taste of it. So now I need to find a use for 12 cans. Hidden in a cobbler filling with added brown sugar she cannot distinguish the unlikeable taste.
6 Peaches rough cut
8 Apples rough cut; mixed varieties
1 12oz can diet coke
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
Mix well and place on partially baked Pie crust.But before you open the oven to check on the crusts' progress make the Oatmeal topping.
2 pkgs. of Brown sugar n Maple Oatmeal
1/2 cup Margarine
1/4 cup Milk
tsp. vanilla
and 3 more pkgs. approximately of regular oatmeal . Mix while adding until you have a crumbly texture .Stop at 2 bags extra if you have the right texture.
Place on the topping and back into the 350 F oven for 45 min.
The wife said," We must eat it while it is hot, With Ice cream." So we ate it before supper. And an hour later we had our Market bought 2 pound baked potatoes that had been rubbed with Olive oil and Sea salt.
Only in America.
Dessert before Dinner.
On Sunday when I took the cobbler to the family group swim party we were cleaning up to leave. The wife was still socializing and I was standing around with the cobbler in my hand. One of the ladies from the group came to me and said, "Excuse me, Can I have some more". I was more than ready to oblige. 5 min. before that happened I had said to myself, 'Wouldn't that be cool if someone asked me for the rest of this cobbler before we left'.

Narrow your search
From Ford GT to Audi Q7 and a pair of oddly homonymous Chevys, we take you on a whirlwind trip of the auto shows that start the year off right: Detroit and, yes, CES.
This year's Detroit auto show kicked off with a resounding bang, and the throaty roar of the Acura NSX and the Ford GT -- just two of the highly anticipated cars on display here in the Motor City.
When Henry Ford made his Model T, he built a template for car making for the century to come. It is not, however, the easiest thing in the world to drive. XCAR got behind the 100-year-old wheel.
Ford is rebooting the GT again, this time putting a twin-turbo V-6 in the back of a carbon-fiber chassis to create what will certainly be one of the most desirable sports cars on the road.
Pricing not available
Ford is bringing the GT back from the dead one more time in 2016, and it's better looking than ever.
This year's Detroit auto show featured two welcome revivals, the new Ford GT and Acura NSX, along with a slew of potent new launches.
CNET's Tim Stevens, Antuan Goodwin and Wayne Cunningham, wrap up the 2015 North American International Auto Show by taking a look at some the hottest cars to premiere, including the Ford GT, the Acura NSX and the all-new Chevy Volt.
The previous F-150 SVT Raptor set new heights for production off-road performance. More power and less weight can only mean great things.
Pricing not available
The Ford GT has been reborn yet again. At the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Ford showcased the redesigned GT with some light-weight styling and an EcoBoost V6 engine in the rear.
Ford's new CEO, Mark Fields, takes the stage at CES for the first time.

Because of the constant attack by squirrels on the bird feeder, I decided to set up a squirrel feeder 50-60 feet away from the bird feeder. It consists of just a terracotta plate. It does seems to work, as long as you offer food that squirrels want. For example, they are not fond of the squirrel logs. So far, I have been given them some feed grade nuts mix that my in-laws got from the nut factory and cracked corn.
The problem with offering squirrel their own feeder is that squirrels are territorial. There are 5-6 squirrels in this area alone. They end up battling it out at the feeder. Because there are 5-6 squirrels, it's hard to keep all of them occupied. I notice the smaller ones do not go to the squirrel feeder at all. I think the competition is just too fierce. What's also ironic is that birds starts to come to the squirrel feeder. A blue jay show up too day and started screaming at the squirrel and eventually made off with some peanuts. The trouble with squirrel is that they will eat until the can't. Is there someway to slow down their feeding? The ideal situation is to get them to hang around their own feeder but limit how much they can eat. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some birds like the ground or a platform to eat from. Some like Blue Jays will eat anything. Most of the fights the squirrels will not hurt each other except during the breeding season. You will notice that when you have a winter type storm or very deep freeze they will all eat without fighting. If you want to be mean put out two more saucers and place in a triangle. The piggie squirrels will run from one to the other trying to get the best food. After a while they will just sit there looking like they are lost. I don't worry about what the squirrels eat any more I just put food out first come first served. The wildlife I get other than the deer seem to know when others need food and let them eat in peace. You will see less fights as the stored food is depleted. When the number of squirrels reach a certain level they tend to pass diseases to each other. This is natures way of preventing over population. This year we have very few squirrels in this area but last year it seemed like every tree was full. Try to keep feeders for squirrels clean. It will not help prevent passing of diseases but at least you will have not caused it. Hubby was very upset this spring when the squirrels disappeared and thought he had done something. |

Since squirrels can't get to my baffled birdfeeding station I give them BOSS in two places on the ground about four feet apart. There is always a little squabbling at first, then they all settle down and eat together. After they have eaten awhile I throw out a handful of peanuts. Blue Jays always get a few of them too. |

Linux Journal Flickr Pool Roundup
Linux Journal's Flickr pool regularly brings in fun photos from readers around the world.
In addition to what we post in Linux Journal's Flickr Pool Roundup here online, we also choose one photo to run in the print magazine as Photo of the Month. The photo's owner receives a free LJ t-shirt as their lucky prize, so make sure to add your photo to the pool.
Victor Mendonça, an IT worker and Linux enthusiast, brings us "When Office Supplies Attack".
Victor also brings us "Hard at Work". Ha.
Editor Shawn Powers' head was too big to walk through the office door after he was declared hotter than Wesley Crusher. (I think him and Wil Wheaton are now planning some sort of death match over it at PenguinCon. I'm not sure but I did hear some pretty convincing rumors.)
Doc Searls snapped this shot of the BeagleBoard, an ultra-low cost, high performance, low power OMAP3 based platform at Linux World Expo.
And now a little trivia for you. One of the people in this picture was featured on a recent cover of Linux Journal. Know who it is?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

We need to spruce up the front of our house. Any suggestions on plants and/or porch & steps is appreciated.

Follow-Up Postings:
I think it would look super in a dark brown with cream trim. I'd outline the arches in cream too. Give the door a bold Monet color blue and it's perfect. Add some new address numbers, cut down the shrubs to half their size and add some flowers. Clean off the brick stairs and put a few pots of flowers on either side of the top step. Very lovely lines to the house, what ever color you pick it will look great. |

In April 2011, the Nevada Board of Regents approved a differential fee tuition program to go into effect fall 2011 for master of accountancy (MAcc), master of business administration (MBA), master of science in finance (MSF), and master of science in information systems (MSIS). This involves a course fee in the amount of $100 per credit for graduate level courses in accounting (ACC), business administration (BADM), business (BUS), entrepreneurship (ENT), gaming management (GAM), finance (FIN), information systems (IS), management (MGT), and marketing (MKT). These additional fees will support financial aid of students in the programs, as well as enhance the curriculum and services to the program's students.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Quoted from Jane I take 60mg CoQ 10 a day and my gums are much better. It had been years since I'd been as well and now I'm having to have some very very old fillings replaced. I'm getting some of the old amalgam ones replaced with white composite. I was surprised to hear that they will be more sensitive to heat and cold than the old mercury ones.Jane
Quoted from Tina I use Tom's of Maine flouride free toothpaste and really like it, but as far as I know, they don't make a sensitive one without flouride.
Quoted from Vicki Daily flossing is very important to reduce gum-line sensitivity. Glide is coated with teflon which makes it easy to use without pain.
Quoted from Tina What is SLS?
Quoted from osuzanna My teeth feel cleaner and gums less problematic just staying away from those pesky Nonnie-hating grains....Gums situation improved dramatically after starting BTD fulltime.
Quoted from outdoordrea I'm trying to retrain myself to floss after I brush but for so many years I've been flossing before I brush, I'm finding old habits are hard to break.

University Of Houston-Victoria
President's Office
9:30 A.M., September 14, 2011
President's Conference Room
Meeting Minutes
Members Present: Akins, Beran, Bergstrom, Castille, Dahlstrom, Di Leo, Ferguson, Mundy, Nelson, Niroomand, Norgard, Prince, Rice, D. Smith, L. Smith, Tart, and Walyuchow
Marketing Representative: Cooke
I. Organizational Business
--Dean Tart movedand Dean Niroomand seconded to approve the minutes of August 24, 2011 as presented.
II. Business
A. Destination Campus Planning–Dr. Phil Castille
Dr. Castille spoke to the President's Cabinet members about the draft System's Master Plan for UHV, noting this has been an ongoing project. He said UHV will run out of academic space in 2014-2015 and discussed a handout that showed a proposed 63,000 sq. ft. academic building to the north of University Center. To fast track the building of this facility, the funds that we have to go forward may not complete all 63,000 sq. ft. of a new facility, but this will allow us to get started on the building sooner. Most likely, UHV will have to look for additional appropriations to finish out the building but a new academic building will fill in a piece that makes UHV a destination campus. Dr. Castille said a Strategic Planning Committee will be established to assist with this endeavor.
The Master Plan homepage for the University of Houston System is http://www.uh.edu/af/masterplan/uhsmp.htm. The links to the plan for each component campus are located on the right hand side of the page.
There were suggestions discussed to assist UHV students that are not accessing the crosswalk to cross HWY 59 but instead are crossing in front of the dorm and ending up in the turn lanes.
B. Finance & Student Housing–Mr. Wayne Beran
Mr. Beran noted that a presentation will be made to The Coordinating Board committee on Strategic Planning and Policy on 9/20/11 on sophomore housing and the key to the project. The sophomore housing project will have 252 beds in a 3-story garden type apartment. The facility will be located next to Jaguar Hall and share support facilities. It will provide UHV with a dynamic center of student activity and campus life fostering student success and community growth. Construction is slated to start in April 2012, with completion by May 2013.
Mr. Beran passed out a schedule from the UHS Internal Auditing department noting which UHV areas that would be audited in fiscal year 2012. They are the President's office, Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, Facilities, Financial Aid, Finance, Information Technology and Admission & Records.
C. Academic Affairs Update–Dr. Don Smith
Dr. Smith said the academic priorities were discussed at the last cabinet meeting. An urgent matter that needs to be addressed is since moving to Digital Measures the return rate of student evaluations have decreased.
Dean Niroomand said there were over one hundred guests who participated in the reception last Thursday in honor of the Spring 2011 MBA Conference Winning Teams, the BBA Conference Winner, 2011 Beta Gamma Sigma Inductees and the faculty recipients of the Bloomberg Teaching and Research Awards. The School of Business Administration monthly faculty seminars begins this Friday where two faculty members will present their current research work. So far there are 128 publications produced by SBA faculty members during 2010-2011. He also announced the creation of an Endowed Professorship in Business in honor of Ron Sardessai and encouraged faculty and staff to contribute to this good cause. He reminded everyone that the university will match their contributions. He is optimistic that SBA will be able to raise the $250,000 minimum required to establish the Endowed Professorship before the end of this academic year. Dean Niroomand said he had received a complementary note from the Houston Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas thanking him for co-sponsoring the lecture on August 24th and their willingness for continued partnership with the UHV's School of Business.
Dean Prince expressed concern about the student scores in the School of Education & Human Development. It looks to be better than projected with an 81% pass rate on the 4-8 Generalist exam and she predicted that all scores should be in high 80% passing rate by the Spring semester due to the faculty efforts.
Dean Tart reported 77 attended the Fort Bend Chamber Educational Symposium event. On September 15, Dean Tart will welcome 400 attendees at the Good Samaritan Foundation Excellent Awards nursing luncheon as the luncheon chairwoman at the Hilton America Hotel in Houston. A $60,000 George Foundation donation has been received for nursing scholarships in Fort Bend. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony in November for the Patient Simulation Center in Victoria. The Coordinating Board has approved a MSN/MBA degree with the School of Business Administration as a direct need request from students.
Dr. Castille expressed kudos to Dean Tart on her presentation at the President's Regional Advisory Board (PRAB) meeting and invited other deans to participate in the PRAB meetings.
Dean Di Leo reported that since he has become dean, the School of Arts & Sciences has tripled its semester credit hour production, and raised its faculty publications rate from 1.0 publication per faculty member per year to 3.1 publications per year per faculty member. Davis Schneiderman launched this year's American Book Review Reading Series with a lively presentation to a packed auditorium on September 1.
E. Enrollment Updates–Ms. Chari Norgard
Ms. Norgard said enrollment is up in headcount and semester credit hours. The Fall 2011 enrollment for the freshmen cohort is at 182, with a return of 118 students which is 54%. Sophomore student enrollment is at 129 this Fall compare to 77 last Fall. The headcount of students enrolled on campus in Victoria this semester is 910, compared to 759 last year for a 20% growth in one year. There was a discussion on enrollment figures. Ms. Norgard indicated that there will be a meeting with Student Senate to visit with students about what the issues are as to why students are not checking their UHV email accounts. She will also be working on better defining how we want to use the student email accounts. Ms. Norgard reported the Student Advisory Board members will consist of the Student Senate members since the Student Senate is the voice of the students.
F. Other Item Reports
Dr. Castille confirmed the Fall 2012 registration date has been moved up and is now scheduled for mid April, the day after the Board of Regents' meeting where the tuition fees are approved. He also asked where we are on packaging summer classes. Various incentive packaging ideas were discussed. Dr. Castille requested the provost to carry forward this idea.
Dr. Dahlstrom reminded everyone about the Library Open House scheduled for September 15, 9:00 to 1:00, in the VC/UHV Library.
Ms. Mundy said the George Foundation approved a $60,000 grant for scholarships to the School of Nursing 2nd degree BSN program. There is also a ribbon cutting planned for the M.G. and Lillie A. Johnson Foundation Patient Care Simulation Center on November 10th. INVISTA is partnering with the University of Houston-Victoria to sponsor a Market Based ManagementTM workshop on Thursday, October 6. The UHV School of Arts & Sciences was awarded a grant in the amount of $20,000 from the Alcoa Foundation for the UHV/VC Math and Science Awareness Day and a high school robotics research class.
-- Dr. Akins movedand Dr. Rice seconded the motion to adjourn the meeting.
Meeting was adjourned at: 11:40 a.m.

A Great Excuse to Get a Massage
Here's a good—if not a bit luxurious—way to fight back during cold and flu season: Get a massage. Research shows that it can keep your immune system in top fighting form.
According to the American Massage Therapy Association, studies in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine examined the effects of Swedish massage therapy on the body's hormonal response and immune function, and found that participants who received massage therapy had an increase of lymphocytes (cells that boost the immune system and help shield the body from harmful substances). Also, not surprisingly, those who got massaged had lower stress hormones, which can also help to defend the immune system.
Some health insurances even cover massages, which you can check with your provider. To find a local qualified massage therapist, search your zip code on www.findamassagetherapist.org.

CAL FIRE in Pismo Beach has a new tool to fight fires.
On Saturday, the public has an opportunity to check out their brand new engine and equipment. Families are also invited to learn about the department and fire safety.
Officials say the new engine has some tools to help with rescues.
"This engine will give us a big telescoping light off the roof to be able to light up something like that a lot better for us to see what's going on and keep us all safe," said Kevin Anderson, a CAL FIRE engineer.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Fire Station 64, which is located on Bello Street in Pismo Beach.
There will also be food, drinks, demonstrations, and fun activities for kids.

I don't receive the emails I sent to myself
I don't receive the emails I sent to myself |
There are a few reasons why you may not be getting email that you've sent to yourself. It could be because:
One of your filters could be directing the email into a folderIf you've set up filters, the message you sent yourself might be going directly to a different folder than your Inbox. Here's how to check your filters: 1. In the upper right, under your Username, click Options, and then click Mail Settings. 2. In the left panel, click Filters and Alerts. 3.

Midtown East
New York, NY, 10065, United States
The French-inspired Japanese cuisine at Geisha, in the upper East Side, is at once complex and elegant, as is the ambiance. Dark maple wood walls are accented with tangerine-colored cherry blossoms, soft fabrics are artfully draped over chairs, and strands of silver beads (reminiscent of a geisha's headdress) glitter over the low-lying tables. Start your meal with a shrimp lollipop: coriander-marinated shrimp on a sugar cane skewer. Continue with the tuna truffle maki roll, diced akami with spicy mayonnaise and black truffle, or the toro belly topped with flakes of gold.
Insider Tip:
Geisha has an extensive and unique list of teas, from the hand-smoked sweet tea of Alderwood to the Geisha Budding Jasmine Rose blossoming tea.

John: I use chlorothalonil for control of peach leaf curl and cherry shoot blight only. I use Captan for apple scab Chlorothalonil is pretty restrictive on when it can be used on fruits. I know for stone fruits it is not supposed to be applied after shuck split. Weird as they allow people to spray it on their tomato plants for early blight control? Captan does not work well at all on powdery mildew. Sometimes I get this on tart cherries and Captan is ineffective. I hate to use Chlorothalonil but that is me personally. It is such a thick formulation that it is hard to mix and very hard to even wash off my measuring spoons. I prefer only to use it when necessary. Just my experiences. LOTS of fungicides on the market. I don't know of just one fungicide that will control all diseases well on all fruits. I would say it depends on what fruit crops you are growing and what fungal issues you I read a lot about Immunox on this website(Mycobutanil-alias Rally or Nova) as working well too. However, I cannot find it for sale at my local stores except in small bottles that connect to the garden hose. I have not yet tried it, but hear it works well. |
I've been trying Serenade for sooty blotch on apples, not that I'm likely to get any this year, with such dryness. But it seems to have a wide range of problems that it claims to treat. |

Spartan-Apple I apreshate the response.I use captin on peaches,plums,nectarines,plum cots,grapes and apples but I can't on pears will cause fruit fall.I also have figs,jujube,paw-paw,mulberry's,blueberries.I have to watch witch sprayer I am using all the time.I guess I should not have so many different fruits and trees.It would just make it a lot easier.Am always worried I will spray with wrong sprayer |
I've never heard of Captan causing fruit fall in pears. |

Daconil has a pre-installed measuring system on the bottle so no need to use measuring spoons. Works good on my roses and stone fruit. Works great on rust too (lawn and trees) |

There is no all purpose fungicide that serves the entire orchard. Captan is close but if you have cedar apple rust or pear scab it's not the ticket. I believe Daconil is the same as Mancozeb which is the cheapest way of filling the gaps left by Captan. It's also extremely affective against summer fungus on apples. I don't use it anymore in favor of lower risk products that are only available packaged for commercial production. |
Mancozeb is zinc ion and manganese ethylene bisdithiocarbamate. Different active ingredient. It's a broad spectrum fungicide good against many problems, but the label happens to say it's not for use by homeowners on lots of crops, like grass and fruit trees. I think they may be phasing it out. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 12 at 18:16
Hilton, they are not yet phasing out Mancozeb for commercial production in NY as far as I know. They just restrict the amount of applications, as I recall. In orchards that have developed resistance to the SI's it is very useful. I thought there was at least one formulation of it for homeowners. |
What I have is intended for homeowners (it's a pretty old container) but I see on the label that it says homeowners aren't supposed to use it for turf and fruit trees, only commercial operators. |
Hi John, As Hman pointed out, there is no silver bullet fungicide to protect your fruits. You just have to slowly learn your way. This forum is a good place to ask questions. Off he top of my head, Hman, Scott, Spartan, and a few others have the most experience in this area. Captan will not cause pears to drop. Commercial captan products no longer have pears on the label because of fruit russeting of some pear cultivars. Some homeowner formulations of captan still have pears on the label because russeting is not an issue if you aren't selling the fruit. Chlorothalonil is a good multi-spectrum fungicide, but unfortunately as mentioned, it has significant label restrictions. It can't be used at all on pome fruits. Daconil is a homeowner formulation of chlorothalonil. Spartan brings up a good point about the puzzling label restrictions of the compound. Chlorothalonil can't be used after shuck-split on stone fruits, yet it has a zero pre-harvest interval (PHI) for tomatoes. What that means is theoretically tomatoes could be sprayed with chlorothalonil and immediately harvested and eaten. I don't understand that seemingly inconsistent labeling myself, but know there is a lot of thought and research that goes into label restrictions. How easily the product washes off different fruits, how it is treated during processing, how much is used for baby food, ect. all factor into it. A rather humorous seeming inconsistency is when a label has a zero PHI but has a 24 hour re-entry interval, so that theoretically a person can not enter an area after compound is sprayed to pick the fruit, but they can eat the fruit. In reality, the answer for this apparent duplicity is that the fruit can be machine harvested and then eaten. What the EPA is trying to avoid with this type of labeling is workers working 8 hrs./day harvesting fruit in a field just sprayed. The exposure from harvesting such a field would be much greater than eating a few fruit that were just sprayed. |

The Indianapolis Widows and Orphans Friends' Society facility in 1865. | The Gene Glick Family Support Center today. |
For over 160 years, Children's Bureau, Inc. has proven to be a remarkable institution. Its longevity is due in no small part to the commitment and adaptability of the people who have been associated with it. This is more, however, than a history of the women and men who have led Children's Bureau; it is also a history of the children and adults whose lives the organization has touched.
Children's Bureau adoptive parents | In looking at the Bureau's past, we can learn about the institution and its community and about changes in the way that society has viewed family and parental rights, valued its children and cared for its most "vulnerable" members. "'For the Children's Sake': A History of the Children's Bureau of Indianapolis, Inc." focuses on the evolution of an organization. This 50-page book was funded by the Lilly Endowment for the 150th anniversary of the Children's Bureau in 2000 |
The book was written by Weintraut & Associates Historians, Inc., designed by Ed Norman Graphic Arts and printed by Pierson Printing. It also reveals how social circumstances and the ideological underpinnings of caring for children have changed over the past 150 years. The story of Children's Bureau, Inc. is a story worth telling, for it provides perspective on the role of "vulnerable" children in society. | A Children's Bureau adoptive family today. |

But when one body washes up on shore, his examination of the dead young woman indicates that she was killed before the blast, then dumped in the water so that she would appear to be one of the bomb victims. Matters turn stranger still when an FBI agent (Val Kilmer) tells Karlin he has been picked for a special task force to look into the explosion. Inside a heavily-guarded trailer packed with electronic equipment, he learns that the Bureau has, in the wake of 9/11, stumbled a way to actually peer back into the past"but only one slice at a time.
All this has to do with "wormholes" in time which are quickly explained in best hastily-contrived movie fashion. But, hey, it's fantasy time, so let's not hear any kvetching about physics and logic, OK? Doing so will also spoil the ending for you, which addresses the usual problem of "time-travel" flicks"i.e., if you change the past, don't you change all the present, too?"by ignoring some crucial features of the question.
Anyway, peering into one such hole, he sees the young woman whose mutilated corpse he had puzzled over, one Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton). Karlin makes a bet that focusing on the last few days of her life"as opposed to the ferry boat"will ultimately solve both mysteries. He also, pretty clearly, falls in love with the dead woman.
Director Tony Scott and screenwriters Bill Marsilii and Terry Rossio are wise enough to keep the action moving smartly along so that we don't have a chance to think about all this very much. And at the level of action flick, Déjà Vu succeeds pretty well. One chase scene, where Karlin literally has one eye on the past and one in the present, works particularly well, silly though the basic concept may be. There's also a good deal of play with "the presence of the past," from golden oldies playing on the radio to the way that memory continues to affect our lives.
Washington is his usual solid self, Kilmer looks like he's been on a three-day binge, and Patton is convincing in a tricky role, as is Jim Caviezel in what amounts to an extended cameo as the heavy. I liked Harry Gregson-Williams' musical score, understated for this genre, and the cinematography of Paul Cameron, who keeps the past and present separate and parallel, as needed.
Déjà Vu has been tepidly reviewed, but I think because people have been asking it to be more than it is. After all, this is an action flick, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, slickly put together and featuring a veteran cast. It's appropriately rated "PG-13," mostly for violence, but the filmmakers have been somewhat restrained in that department, considering what might have been done. The film won't win any awards, but it's good escapist entertainment.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowEven though the Colorado Rockies have never won a World Series, catching an evening game at Coors Field – the great ballpark on the edge of downtown Denver that opened in 1995 -- is something every Colorado resident and visitor should experience. The famous Rockpile seating section can always be counted on for cheap tickets (less than $10), plenty of Coors-induced rowdy fans. The stunning views of both the mountains and downtown should keep your eyes diverted from the scoreboard; a walk around the concourse, with its many food and beverage vendors, is always amusing. Weddings, holiday parties and corporate meetings can all be arranged at the field. And if you're lucky, the Sand Lot brewpub on Blake Street will be open, giving you a real taste of two of our favorite pastimes: beer and baseball.

So, we finally got to playtest the game last night, with the characters being agents for none other than Jabba the Hutt, on a mission to provoke the Tusken Raiders to attack the newly arrived Imperial garrison. This cunning plan was meant to weaken the bothersome Tusken Raiders and test the strength of the newly arrived Imperials, without the character's being discovered.
Anyway, we used a combination of physical dice and the app. One thing all the players agreed upon was that there should be a function in the app that places the results in text or symbols as summary after each roll. This should also cancel out successes with failures and advantages with threats and so on, and show the net result of the roll.
Could a function like that be added to the app in some way? We found that the cancelling process when counting up the dice after a roll was a bit too slow.

Ollie in charge for 1 year, maybe more

As transparently as he could, Jim Calhoun forced the hand of UConn athletic director Warde Manuel. Manuel likely knew it was coming at some point, and that point came Wednesday.
Calhoun, according to sources, will announce his retirement today. Early Wednesday evening, Manuel and former UConn standout Kevin Ollie ironed out details that puts Ollie in charge of the Huskies for at least a year.
With practice set to begin in a month, Manuel didn't have much choice.
The 39-year-old Ollie wanted to have a deal that didn't include the "interim" tag so Manuel found some area in the middle, committing to a year with Ollie with the provision that Ollie will be evaluated after the season, sources said. Ollie's only coaching experience is the two years he has spent on the UConn bench after a 13-year, workmanlike NBA career.
Ollie has earned a reputation as a good recruiter and a good coach, but there is certainly some question about his ability to handle game situations. He will, however, have some assistance in that regard.
Sources said associate head coach George Blaney, who is nearly three years older than the 70-year-old Calhoun, will remain with the Huskies for at least another year.
Blaney was a longtime head coach at Holy Cross and Seton Hall, and was Calhoun's right-hand man for 11 years.
Karl Hobbs will move from director of basketball administration to an assistant coaching job.
Hobbs was the head coach at George Washington for 10 years and made a name as a tremendous recruiter during his first tenure as a UConn assistant from 1993-2001.
Also remaining on the staff is Glen Miller, himself a head coach at Connecticut College, Brown and Penn.
Ollie will certainly have some experienced help. And he has the benefit of coaching with almost no pressure. The Huskies are ineligible for the 2013 Big East and NCAA tournaments.

[834] The Impact of the 2005 Modified Gleason Grading System on the Clinical Outcome of Prostate Cancer
Fei Dong, Chaofu Wang, A Brad Farris, Shulin Wu, Hang Lee, Aria F Olumi, W Scott McDougal, Robert H Young, Chin-Lee Wu. Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
Background: The 2005 International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Consensus Conference modified the Gleason grading system for prostate cancer. In the modified criteria, certain architectural features of classical Gleason pattern 3 adenocarcinoma were reclassified as Gleason pattern 4. In this study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of patients with prostate cancer upgraded by ISUP criteria.
Design: The histology of 1240 consecutive radical prostatectomy specimens at a single institution between 1993 and 1999 were reviewed, and each case of adenocarcinoma was graded based on the original and modified Gleason grading systems. The outcomes of 806 patients with classical Gleason score 3+3=6 or 3+4=7 and modified Gleason score 6 to 8 prostate cancer were analyzed, with a median clinical follow up of 11.9 years.
Results: Of 622 patients with classical Gleason score 3+3=6 prostate cancer, 210 (34%) had modified Gleason score 7 or 8 by the ISUP criteria. Compared with patients with modified Gleason score 3+3=6 and classical Gleason score 3+4=7 cancer, patients with classical Gleason score 3+3=6 and upgraded by ISUP criteria were at intermediate risk for biochemical progression, the development of metastatic disease, and overall mortality following radical prostatectomy (log-rank p < 0.0001). The hazard ratio for upgrading was 1.60 (95% confidence interval 1.09 to 2.35, p = 0.02) for PSA failure and 5.02 (95% confidence interval 1.77 to 14.2, p = 0.003) for the development of metastasis.
Conclusions: Patients with classical Gleason score 3+3=6 prostate cancer and upgraded by the ISUP modified Gleason grading system are at intermediate risk for biochemical failure following radical prostatectomy compared to patients with modified Gleason score 3+3=6 cancer and patients with classical Gleason score 3+4=7 cancer. The recognition of this intermediate-risk histological pattern may be useful in guiding the prognosis and clinical management of patients with prostate cancer.

A Meaningfull Goodbye

What would be an appropriate gift for a co-worker who's had a death in their family and you think they will be overwhelmed with fruit and flowers?
Shawna – Director of Customer Service
When I send bereavement gifts I try to send items that are shelf stable or non-perishable. That way I am still giving them good stuff to eat without much preparation. Also engraved items are very thoughtful for these types of situations. I know a lot of people order the Amazing Grace Engravable Wind Chimes and have the deceased name etched into the chimes with their birth date or years. I think during situation as delicate as these even a card is always appreciated by the recipient.

The Hypersensitive Esophagus: Pathophysiology, Evaluation, and Treatment Options.
Summary of "The Hypersensitive Esophagus: Pathophysiology, Evaluation, and Treatment Options."
Visceral hypersensitivity plays a key role in the pathogenesis of esophageal functional disorders such as functional heartburn and chest pain of presumed esophageal origin (noncardiac chest pain). About 80% of patients with unexplained noncardiac chest pain exhibit lower esophageal sensory thresholds when compared to controls during esophageal sensory testing (ie, esophageal barostat, impedance planimetry). Such information has led to prescription of peripherally and/or centrally acting therapies for the management of these patients. This review summarizes and highlights recent and significant findings regarding the pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of the hypersensitive esophagus, a central factor in functional esophageal disorders.
