Harsh Student Media Policy Threatens Free Press at Ithaca
This article is part of our campaign on Civil Rights & Justice. Check out more reporting, research, and actions on Civil Rights & Justice →
Ithaca College President Tom Rochon recently announced a new university-wide media policy that threatens free press on the New York college campus. The policy requires all student media to navigate through university bureaucracy before interviewing certain faculty members or administrators. Tacked to the new policy comes a list of 84 administrators with whom student media cannot directly interview without scheduling interviews through the the campus media department.
Rochon said in the email to student media that the policy is meant to curb a "tendency to rely too much on just a few people" which, he said, distracts them from their "actual jobs."
Carly Sitzer, a journalist for Ithaca's Buzzsaw magazine, bemoaned the new policy in an op-ed:
"By instituting this new media policy, President Tom Rochon has successfully gone against everything I have been taught as a journalist. With the new system that filters not only the sources, but also their messages, it completely undermines our ability as journalists to determine who is the most appropriate source to contact."
Buzzsaw, a member of the Campus Progress Journalism Network, decried the new policy in an official statement: "The policy seems to be specifically designed to hinder student journalists from accessing administrators in a timely manner and relaying information about the college to the student body."
The editorial ends with signatures from the Buzzsaw editorial board, Ithaca College faculty and staff, and Buzzsaw alumni.
Other supporters of Buzzsaw include more than 60 Ithaca College faculty and staff members who wrote their own letter in support of repealing the policy.

Hey Mini-V,
Depends on:
1. your budget
2. how easy to use you want the program to be
3. how powerful you want the program to be
4. who you plan to share your videos with and how
For simple, quick non-professional movies you could use the free Windows Movie Maker or Apple's iMovie. They are great when you want to get something basic done in a short amount of time. You can post the output to YouTube or your Web site, etc.
For more options with a professional edge (still affordable) I'd recommend Adobe Premiere Elements. You can try it free for 30 days. Movie editing software | Adobe Premiere Elements 7
I use Adobe Premiere Pro which is quite a bit more complex with quite a learning curve but you can do incredible things with it when you use it in conjunction with other programs like After Effects and Photoshop. video editing software, digital video editing | Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
There are other programs out there, but I'd recommend looking into Adobe Premiere Elements.

And they're off! Yes, men can race while they pee, thanks to this clever ad by Ogilvy. The campaign is in Calgary and it's advertising Horse Racing in Alberta, Canada. The concept would work especially well if you had it at a sporting venue, or anywhere else that men are acting competitive… Wait, does that mean it would work anywhere?

"Touching the Universe" showcases the work of amateur photographers Richard Johnson (Bemidji, Minn.), Taylor Chonis (Austin, Texas) and Martin Ratcliffe (Wichita, Kan.). Audiences will be immersed in huge projections of their images of planets, galaxies and nebulae on the fulldome. The show will be preceded by a short introduction to the current night sky and followed by a brief fulldome program about NASA's IBEX mission to explore the boundaries of the solar system. This program was produced under a grant from the Nebraska NASA Spacegrant Consortium in connection with a display of astrophotography that is traveling the state of Nebraska as part of the International Year of Astronomy. Select photographs from the program will be on display inside the planetarium as audiences enter and exit the theater. |

I feel like this drying out, solitary leaf, watching everybody else fall around me, knowing my own current position, as one of the last women standing, is precarious at best. Mary and Elijah are hot with fevers. It won't be long, I am assuming, before this nasty, aggressive flu holding our little town hostage worms its way into the rest of our stomachs, chests, heads.
I'm off to douse to myself in Lysol and dig out my nurses hat!

Johnson MW et al. – The data suggest that headache is an adverse event to be expected with the nonmedical use of psilocybin–containing mushrooms as well as the administration of psilocybin in human research.
Methods- This double-blind study examined a broad range of psilocybin doses (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30mg/70kg) on headache in 18 healthy participants.
- Psilocybin frequently caused headache, the incidence, duration, and severity of which increased in a dose-dependent manner.
- All headaches had delayed onset, were transient, and lasted no more than a day after psilocybin administration.

We all know people who seem to let their feelings drive their politics, untroubled by a steady flow of contrary facts. Still, it's a surprise to read of neurological research confirming precisely those impressions.
A team at Emory University has found evidence that highly partisan people process political information strictly with the emotional sectors of their brains, avoiding any mental activity that resembles actual thinking. They embrace messages that match their beliefs, making them feel good, and reject those that challenge them, to avoid feeling bad.
Too bad they didn't ask if they were Kool-Aid drinkers

In the next couple of months, you're likely to be hearing more about the Keystone XL pipeline. It would bring heavy Canadian crude oil to refineries near Houston and Beaumont. The Obama Administration has yet to approve it, but a new Congress may step in and take action.

Hi All...I am the proud (and nervous!) Dad of a Hoh salzmannii; and it sure is a big 'pup.' He stands about a metre high already.
My question is about habitat and growing conditions; any info or experiences that will help me attempt to replicate these conditions as best I can. Thanks!

Photo please Shane. The size of the one on FCBS is incredible - not exactly for mounting in trees. Do you know what kind of flower it gets? Looks like you've really hit the jackpot this time! |
Hi Shane Pedro here from Europe. Just an idle moment between collections! As suggested the Aussie plants are actually A floribunda which varies a lot. The other Hoh ex NQ but with fragrant purple flowers, H lanata, is also A floribunda. I won't go into why this name problem occurred but I'm sure it has been written about after Derek, others and I did some investigating. The taxonomy is very much Aechmea, not Hohenbergia. Cheers |

Hi All...apologies for slow recognition of your answers; family crisis! No pics sorry Jennie as camera is out of action, but it does look a lot like Andy's photo - although not as green. So me thinks mine has been sun grown; which is what I will try with it. And hey Pedro - nice to hear you made it to Europe safely as well. Enjoy the autumn up there! That is such a long way to go! (Bring back some rain pls!!) You (and Andy) are correct re it actually being Ae floribunda; and i accept that my lanata is also that - so now I have 2. (At least the lanata is not huge [yet]) I saw Kerry's lanata today and it's just like mine also. Both my "supposed> salzmannii & lanata came from FNQ sellers. As they say, 'at least I have a nice plant' that I like and now what it/they are. Thanks again! |
Hi Shane, How is your Ae floribunda going. Has it set any seed. I'm chasing this one if you want to sell a pup I would be greatfull. Any photos would be appreciated. Cheers Brod |

The Projectionist
Actor Antony Sher draws on his own family's past in his latest theatrical role, tracing the history of the Jewish immigrants who created Hollywood
Actor Antony Sher has won accolades for playing Shylock, Richard III, Cyrano de Bergerac, Macbeth, and Primo Levi. Knighted in 2000, he's traveled a great distance from his quiet middle-class upbringing in Cape Town, South Africa, and even further from the world of his grandparents, who were Jewish immigrants from Lithuania. Now Sher is returning to his roots in Travelling Light, an acclaimed new play by Nicholas Wright being produced by England's National Theatre. (Selected National Theatre productions are broadcast to movie theaters worldwide via its NT Live program. Additional U.S. screenings of Travelling Light are scheduled for cities including Brooklyn, N.Y., Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, and Minneapolis.) He plays Jacob Bindel, a wealthy timber merchant turned movie producer in an Eastern European town in the early 1900s. Through Bindel, the play explores how so many Jews came to be involved in the making of Hollywood. Hugh Levinson spoke with Sher at London's Lyttleton Theatre, where Travelling Light is showing through June. [Running time: 16:30.]

Updated: December 26, 2012 6:15AM
My two sons are quickly developing their own personalities. Bubba and Peter are also growing into their bodies. As these characteristics emerge, I notice bits and pieces of The Wife and I coming into focus.
For example, both of the boys have The Wife's gap-toothed smile. And while I often joke that she could floss with a quarter, it's a much better option than having my Beetlejuice teeth that required nearly a decade in braces.
Other attributes have yet to fully manifest. So I decided to jot down a wish list of characteristics I'd like the boys to take from each parent, thus creating the best possible child The Wife and I could muster. Here goes:
BUTT — Mom: I have no butt. Church pews and school bleachers are not simply uncomfortable for my bony rear, they're downright painful. The Wife, however, is blessed in this department. For these reasons, I hope Bubba and Peter end up with their mother's backside.
COOKING — Dad: The Wife makes a handful of dishes extraordinarily well. (Oatmeal lace cookies come to mind.) But I'm generally the cook in our house. It's likely that she just doesn't get enough time to practice, as I'm the one at home making the meals.
Nevertheless, I hope the boys grow up to cook like their dad.
SCHOOL — Mom: I wasn't a bad student. But I definitely married up, landing the No. 3 student of her high school class.
Here's hoping Bubba and Peter have their mom's brains.
ATHLETICISM — Dad: This is really a booby prize, since neither The Wife nor I have much athletic prowess. I was once told that The Wife was a decent youth softball player. But she and I have played catch a couple of times.
It isn't pretty.
Now I'm hardly bragging. But based on our few games of catch, I hope the boys have my arm.
SHOULDERS — Mom: I've dislocated both of my shoulders. My left shoulder was so loose it required surgery. As a result, I sleep with my arms wrapped tightly around my body, like a mummy.
If they're lucky, my boys were born with their mother's sturdy shoulders.
NERVOUS HABIT — Dad: I haven't used fingernail trimmers in years. That's because when I get nervous I peel my fingernails off. It's a habit that drives The Wife nuts, particularly when she hears me trying to pry under a long nail.
She picks at her skin, which drives me crazy. Ideally, our children will inherit neither of these goofy quirks. But if I have to choose one, I'll take my savage manicures over The Wife's persistent picking.
FACIAL HAIR — Dad: It took 35 years, but I can now grow a respectable beard. Thankfully, The Wife cannot. And since I have two sons, I hope they end up with my facial hair.
SENSE OF STYLE — Both: The Wife has more of a sense of style than I do. I don't really care much about style. I'd like my boys to look and dress well. At the same time, I hope they also realize that it's not that important.
Now that being said, I'll probably end up with a pair of bony-butt boys who can't cook or throw a ball. They'll struggle in school, which will only add to their bizarre, nervous habits. And they'll have patchy beards to boot.
That's what I get for making a wish list.

With its fertile soil, nutritious grasses and aura of possibility, prairie became the basis for an agricultural empire. It also influenced our sense of national identity.
Today, less than one percent of Minnesota's native prairie remains. Many of these treasures occur as small remnants scattered across Minnesota. They may be disguised as that portion of your land too hilly, rocky, wet or steep to plow. It may even be where the cows currently roam, or the spot where patches of beautiful wildflowers bloom spring through fall. These spots represent a large portion of what remains of Minnesota's native prairie.
Because of the near elimination of native prairie throughout North America, many have been inspired to protect remaining parcels. Minnesota is striving to do that through the Native Prairie Bank program. In 1987, the Minnesota state legislature created the Native Prairie Bank program as part of the Reinvest in Minnesota legislation. This program allows landowners to protect native prairie on their property through a conservation easement with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This currently isn't a large program, but has been very successful in protecting many prairie remnants across the state on private land.
To learn more about this program, the Prairie Smoke Chapter of The Prairie Enthusiasts is hosting DNR Biologist, Jason Garms, for an evening program on Minnesota's Prairie Bank Program. This program will be held at Quarry Hill Nature Center in Rochester at 7pm on Monday, November 3rd. This meeting is free and open to the public. Landowners who wish to learn more about prairie and ways to protect it are encouraged to attend. To learn more about the Prairie Bank Program, visit the DNR website at www.dnr.state.mn.us/prairierestoration/prairiebank. To learn more about the Prairie Enthusiasts, visit their website at www.theprairieenthusiasts.org/chapter/smoke/smoke.

I just treated myself to that very machine before Xmas. Haven't done a whole lot other than hats with it so far, and hemmed a pair of jeans, but so far, I like it. |
Enjoy your new machines, ladies! I don't have a Pfaff dealer any where near me, so don't know anything about them. Donna |

Bloomorelse, I see you are a fellow NBer. Glad to hear you're enjoying your machine. My SIL and I are both getting one. She already owns one Pfaff, but was attracted as I was to the wide throat on this one which is a big boon to quilters and she is always raving about the way the machine senses and automatically adjusts for even feed, no need for a walking foot. The price right now seemed excellent as well. I'm currently using a Viking Platinum which I like for piecing but no so much for machine quilting. BTW, I'm curious as to what kind of hats you make. Do you have a pic? Actually Donna, there is no dealer in my city, either. We will be taking a little road-trip (about 1 1/2 hours away) to pick them up, hopefully Monday or Tuesday. |

Machines came in early and we picked them up today with a 2 hour lesson. Stopped at the cottage on the way home so too tired to do anything tonight other than have another look at the book. She went through it page by page with us. It's a beautiful machine and I'm anxious to play with it, lots of amazing features and 200 stitches. Won't I have fun! |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 10:21
I am sooooooo jealous!!! :~) I own 3 Pfaff sewing machines. One is 40+ year old & was the top of the line when I bought it, and it is still stitching beautifully. I hope you all love your machines! |

I just purchased the pfaff expression 150 Anniversary machine for a great price. So far so good live it |
I have a Pfaff tiptronic 6270. It sews like heaven! Even after I bought a babylock Jane for the harp space, I do all my other sewing on the Pfaff. I feel so smug when I don't have to pin things as much due to the even feed. I live in fear that it will break down. It's over 15 now. Love to hear more about your new one in case this one ever needs replacing. Have fun! LindaB/CA |

I recently bought 2 new Pfaff's! I traded in my Pfaff Quilt Expressions 2048 and the only way the 'deal' would work was to buy both the Passport 2.0 & Pfaff Performance 5.0 -- bells & whistles -- sewing only (not an embroidery machine). The Passport I took to Retreat in Sept and sewed on it basically for the first time. Nice little machine. I am learning the Performance 5.0 -- I haven't gone back for the classes yet due to a lack of time. Both have the IDT, a feature I have had for over 40 years and love-love love! I am now a 4 Pfaff family. |

Sorry Linda, haven't been on here in awhile, and didn't notice your post. I was making chemo hats for myself last winter. Treatments all done Dec 23rd 2013, and so far everything is good. I make mostly Queen sized quilts, so haven't gotten the nerve to machine quilt, I usually do my hand in either the large frame my hubby made me, or on a rectangle clamp hoop when my friends meet at another house for quilting. Here are a couple of the hats I made. |

I keep forgetting I can only post 1 pic at a time, so here's another hat with interchangable bands for different looks. |
Great hats. Also, so glad to hear you are finished with treatment and doing well! LindaB/CA |

Thanks Linda. There is a Pfaff dealer in Riverview, so I joined their Pfaff Club, where you go once a month to do different projects and learn how to sew different stitches, putting a zipper in, etc with your machine. |

Hi Bloomorelse, I am so jealous! I bought my Pfaff in Riverview and would love to be able to go to the Pfaff Club. She has wonderful classes there as well. Not a lot here in SJ. I'm enjoying my machine. Have done some free motion quilting on small objects and a table topper as well as piecing, of course. Worked like a charm. Sorry to hear you had treatments to get through, but glad that is all behind you. The chemo caps look great. I have knit some toques and my church group sewed a few last year...they were kind of a biker type style. I was in Dieppe this week and see that you have quite a bit more snow that we do. I had planned to sew today, but spent awhile chopping ice in the driveway. What fun! Spring can't come soon enough! |
- Posted by bloomorelse Z4b NB Canada (My Page) on Sat, Mar 15, 14 at 20:40
Linda, as a matter of fact, there are 3 ladies in my Pfaff Club group that travel from SJ every month. Maybe if you are able to come on weekdays, you could ask Martha from the store if there are people in the 1st year group from SJ and you could travel with them. Oh shoot, I just remembered I wanted to go to the store today, as they had 20% off fabric, thread, sewing feet, etc... 1 day only. |
How did I miss all this. I live in Riverview and bought the Pfaff Grand Quilter from Martha a couple of years ago. Small world... |
- Posted by maritime_linda (My Page) on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 12:49
Bloomorelse, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize she had different groups according to year...makes sense. Yes, I got the email about the sale and was wishing I were handier. Have to do a quick trip to PEI tomorrow so maybe if there's enough time I may get a chance to pop in....or maybe not as we'll have a dog with us...forgot about that..which is actually the reason for going! Hi Fay...yes, 3 NBer's here on this forum.....I lurk more than post...Actually I don't really like the sound of "lurk"...sounds rather sneaky, doesn't it? Let's say I visit the forum quite regularly. |

Creatives outdoors at Cannes
Campaign caught up with four creative chiefs in Cannes to get their views on digital out of home and its power to unleash creative potential.
Tim Bleakley, chairman of judges; chief executive, Ocean
Digital out of home is coming of age, and is arguably one of the most exciting platforms for advertisers to use to engage with their consumers in today's media landscape. The palate of tools that digital out of home now offers is vast, driven by huge technology advances and a deeper understanding of the unique capabilities of the medium. As we have seen here, the creative industry is embracing these opportunities to deliver something new.
This year is the fifth anniversary of The Art of Outdoor Digital Competition, which has challenged the market to consider digital out of home as a medium in its own right, delivering inspiring and forward-thinking campaigns for specific environments.
Some of the previous winners for the competition, and how to enter this year's competition, can be found at
2014 entries open on Monday 30 June.
Industry learnings demonstrating how to use the medium to its maximum potential are invaluable to brands.
A full list of the Principles of Best Practice in digital out of home can be found on the above website.
Here are a few key headlines.
Principle #1
When, where and who must be considered in the creative process of digital out of home to maximise the campaign.
Principle #2
Create dynamic content to deliver precise and relevant campaigns.
Principle #3
Consider the use of dayparts to deliver a c
ost-effective route into the medium.
Principle #4
Create a simple user journey to deliver logic and magic.
Principle #5
Even the smallest amount of creative movement will help elevate engagement, so utilise the opportunities on offer.
Peter Souter, chairman and chief creative officer, TBWA\London
Is technology outpacing creativity in out of home?
I am not sure that's entirely the case. When they are in complete harmony is when it's working best – when both parties really understand each other and they do something that only digital out of home can do.
British Airways' Grand Prix-winning "magic of flying" is a wonderful combination of brilliant technology, brilliantly used.
As a creative director talking to brands about media choices, what would help you get the most out of digital out of home?
There's something very interesting happening in outdoor. To me, it's the last shared experience. People aren't watching the TV at the same time or surfing the internet at the same time but we are all walking around in the same environment. There's an amazing opportunity to use digital out of home to remind people that they can be creative outdoors.
I grew up on posters. I love posters – I love the simplicity of them. But really what has to happen is that we have to understand that now the posters move, talk to you, interact and are relevant to where they are in a town. So it's a very exciting time.
What will digital out of home look like in five years' time?
It's kind of tricky. What we do know is that ideas will be current. And if ideas and technology work hand in hand, then cool stuff's going to happen.
It's going to be more of a matter of what digital out of home can't do. I don't know and I'm looking forward to finding out – and finding out early. I want to see if there's anything digital media owners have invented but they don't yet know what it's for.
How do you see the future of digital out of home?
There will soon be nothing you can't do in a street. What I used to love about posters is that they had to be less than nine words with one image to really work – now they can be movies, pieces of interactivity, places to pay, almost anything to do with the business of selling. So that's pretty cool. The short answer to the question of where outdoor is going is that it's going everywhere.
Nicky Bullard, executive creative director, Lida
Is technology outpacing creativity in out of home?
Technology is helping us connect but we're not making the most of it. There are a couple of examples of great work at Cannes but they are one-offs. We've got national media here that is digital: why aren't we joining it up and doing something fresh and creative?
As a creative director talking to brands about media choices, what would help you get the most out of digital out of home?
The thing that would help us get more out of it is personalisation. We're all about knowing our customers so we could use that data to really connect in the outdoor space. If we could catch them, in the right place, at the right time and with the right message, then I think we could see some huge results for our clients.
How do you see the future of digital out of home?
In direct, we are thinking about the customer journey all the time, but wouldn't it be wonderful if we could bring to life the real customer journey (my journey to work, or dropping the kids at school, or a trip to the sandwich shop). Let's really bring it to life and tap into the insights we know about our customers, tap into that data and catch them at the right time.
Digital out of home is a phenomenal opportunity right here and now. There's all the technology that media owners have at their fingertips and we've seen some of the creativity already at Cannes. Let's fuse the two things together and do some fabulous work.
Gerry Human, executive creative director, Ogilvy & Mather London
Is technology outpacing creativity in out of home?
Definitely – technology has outpaced what people have done. There's a big perception that digital is more expensive but that's often not the case. It's about people getting used to a way of working.
When we sit down and work on a project, say for a beer brand, we talk a lot about using outdoor and what happens is creatives get caught up in old habits.
So when we talk about outdoor, it's not yet ordinary for people to say we should make this digital out of home. But I think it's a matter of time, and a not too distant time, when it'll be pretty much standard (to think digital).
Outdoor being digital is not a challenge at all for a creative person; it's much more of an opportunity. You see so much potential in what you can do with an idea versus the extreme difficulty of trying to resolve an idea with a two-dimensional piece of paper. That is much much more challenging than when you have technology, film-based imagery and are working with many more pieces to enable you to say something relevant.
What are the trends in digital out of home?
What's interesting about it is this idea of technology being able to personalise what it does for people. So it's like real ambient space interacting with real life.
So you're walking by and there's a train and that's happening in real time – we're using something that's happening in real time and we're able to very personally get involved with you and speak to you directly as a human being, as opposed to a giant audience.
Outdoor has always been about putting out messages to large groups of people. Almost overnight, I can speak to one individual person – and that's exciting.
What will digital out of home look like in five years' time?
More and more, we are talking to mass individuals rather than mass audiences. You'll be able to target precisely where people are – on the beach or at the station – and you'll be able to talk to them in that moment, at that time and almost down to who they are, whether they are male, female, running or walking, so "mass individualisation" is my cheesy jargon
Malcolm Poynton, chief creative officer, Europe, SapientNitro
Is technology outpacing creativity in out of home?
Part of it is a knowledge gap, with creatives not really understanding what they can do with the medium.
As a creative director talking to brands about media choices, what would help you get the most out of digital out of home?
The potential is huge to emotionally connect and create participation with consumers with a brand story. We only know the surface of how far digital out of home can go. The potential of connecting to mobile devices – such as the Mobile Medic campaign in Australia, where augmented reality can diagnose what's going on with a patient in a poster – is just a clue to where this could go.
What I'm looking for all the time is how to emotionally engage people and get them to engage with the brand story. Digital out of home is certainly one way of doing that.
How do you see the future of digital out of home?
The British Airways ad this year has really opened people's eyes to a whole new different potential that is there and is a great example of how we can expect to do things in the future.
Other things to consider are proximity and context. We'll get more engagement where there is higher dwell time, so I think areas such as Piccadilly Circus and the Westfield shopping centres are going to be much more core to how we engage through digital out of home as well.

text: A West Bend woman accused of fleeing the scene after striking and severely injuring a pedestrian in Beaver Dam was said to be the designated driver. 21-year-old Stephanie Goltz is being held on a $2500 cash bond after making her Initial court appearance Friday on two felony charges of Hit and Run Causing Great Bodily Harm and Knowingly Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Revoked License. According to the police report, a Beaver Dam man was struck by a dark-colored sedan on Madison Street last week. The victim went over the hood, on top of the vehicle and was said to be caught up in the wheel well. The offending vehicle never stopped and sped away toward Highway 151.The attorney for a passenger contacted police the next day. The passenger said Goltz was the designated driver and drank water most of the night but also maybe drank a beer or two. Goltz turned herself in on Wednesday. A judge will decide in March if there is enough evidence to order a trial.

The block for this month is called "Double Pinwheels", and was chosen by buteau3rd. The colors for this month's block are scrappy small prints with a white or white-on-white background. This makes a 12" finished block. And here is a picture of buteau3rd's sample block:
The pattern is located on quilterscache.com. The link to the pattern is below this message. Here's how the monthly lotto works... One to two weeks prior to the first of the lotto month, the block pattern and colors are posted on the forum. You may enter from 1 to 3 blocks. For each block you send, your name will be entered once. Please put your blocks, along with a slip of paper with your real name, address, and FORUM name, inside a plastic baggie. (A return address label inside or on the outside of baggie works well too.) Please include one dollar (this covers all blocks sent, NOT $1/block) to cover postage for sending on to the winner. We ask that everyone only send their best efforts! We are not looking for perfection, but please take your time, have fun, and send only the quality that you would like to receive. PLEASE BE CAREFUL HERE! Some blocks have come in lately that weren't quite matching seams very well, In fact, they were WAY off! Make your block of a quality you'd like to receive! There have been several posts lately addressing basic quilting tips. It even helps the more experienced quilters refresh their work to go back and read those tips. Please note the following guidelines: Use 100% QUILTING cotton and please - no fur, smoke or fragrances. Selvage edges should be trimmed off before cutting for blocks and all seams should be 1/4 inch. Your finished block should be squared up to be no less than 1/4 inch smaller nor 1/4 inch larger than the stated (unfinished) size for the month. Blocks need to reach the lotto coordinator no later than the last day of the month. The winner will be drawn that evening or on the first day of the following month and posted on the forum. The winner may choose a block and/or colors for a future lotto that will be added to the list. If the winner opts to choose a block, a sample block must be received by the moderator by the end of the month prior to the posting date. For example, if you're choosing the March block, a sample must be received by the end of January. There is usually at least a 3-4 month lead time between winning and the month's pattern posting, so you have lots of time to explore patterns and dream up color combinations!

Let's face it—what do any of us really know about language? If you had a gun to your head, could you tell me the difference between "farther" or "further," or spell "minuscule" correctly? To make matters worse, a lot of the things you think you know about words are probably wrong. In honor of National Grammar Day (March 4!) we'll be debunking dialectical deceit all month on Woot. Was your ninth-grade English teacher's classroom a house of lies? Find out from 74-time Jeopardy! champion (and self-proclaimed grammar Nazi) Ken Jennings.
Language Myth #1: Never End a Sentence with a Preposition!
During World War II, a memo was circulated in a British government department pointing out that some in the office were incorrectly ending sentences with prepositions—you know, short words used to express spatial relationships or semantic roles, like in, for, and of. An anonymous functionary (misidentified as Winston Churchill in many versions of the story) scribbled a snarky postscript calling the rule "offensive impertinence, up with which I will not put!"
This is one grammar rule that even non-grammarians assume they can scold people with. (Or "with which even non-grammarians assume they can scold people," as they would no doubt prefer.) It's been drummed into our heads by decades of grumpy schoolteachers. In one 1975 usage study, even 20 percent of professional writers agreed that the sentence-ending preposition was a huge no-no. But the whole thing is bogus. Not for a century has any actual grammarian supported the "rule." As long ago as 1926, usage guru H. W. Fowler was calling it a "cherished superstition."
The idea seems to have been dreamed up out of thin air in 1672 by English poet John Dryden, probably in imitation of the grammatical construction of Latin. Dryden complained, seemingly without an ounce of self-awareness, that the so-called "great" Elizabethan playwrights broke this super-important "rule" all the time. (What hacks! You mean, "We are such stuff on which dreams are made," right, Shakespeare?) Dryden didn't seem to realize that there are many constructions where postponing the preposition is preferable or even necessary. So the next time you ask an English professor what page he's on, and he asks you to re-cast the sentence, be sure to reply, "Okay. What page are you on, douchebag?"
Quick Quiz: On the American Film Institute's list of the greatest quotes in movie history, #14 is the Shakespeare-inspired "The stuff that dreams are made of." What classic 1941 film noir ends with this quote (and preposition)?

Thanks for the post. I cannot tell you how often my coworkers and I agree on this issue.
"These aren't the droids for which you are looking" The Maltese Falcon is the name of the movie to which you are referring.
I thought this one was fairly common knowledge. Usually the person yelling out, "You can't end a sentence with a preposition!" is followed by an equally annoying Boo-Boo Bear yelling, "That's a myth, stupid!". I remember being taught in school as far back as the 80s that the rule was a misguided attempt to mimic Latin, where apparently it actually does matter.
A friend told me that his college professor explained that it was in emulation of Latin, where it's not so much incorrect as often awkward-sounding, and "there is nothing in Latin that we should aspire to." Everybody looked at said friend, wondering what he was laughing at. Sorry, wondering at what he was laughing...which, I might add, is now ambiguous. In high school, I was taught that, at the end of the day, there are only two grammar rules. First, your point must be clear to your audience. Second, it shouldn't sound clumsy. That's it. The shopping list of other rules, regulations, guidelines, and diagrams are for making it easier to achieve those goals, not the goals themselves. And putting the preposition at the beginning of the prepositional phrase is going to often push you toward clearer, smoother expression. So from that perspective, it makes an acceptable "rule."

I agree and all grammar rules were started sometime by someone. A rule having started in 1672 and still followed today has some historical clot.
Heh heh. Boo Boo Bear. Anyway, I had always though the correct way to correct this faux pas was to repeat the sentence, adding a derogatory word at the end. Generally a hole dug to hold a donkey, or the common usage for a female dog.

Nice work, ForbzyT! Maltese Falcon is indeed the movie of which I was thinking of.
I think the notion is still useful as a stylistic guideline. In bad writing, the word or concept that a preposition is referring to is often unclear. Inasmuch as prepositions are inherently relational, a lack of clarity here is often problematic. At least thinking about this particular 'rule' - whether or not you choose to follow it - will generally help you avoid this lack of clarity (unless, of course, you are aiming to obfuscate).

That's something that hadn't occurred to me, actually. If this isn't a rule, what's makes something a "real" rule?
whoiskenjennings wrote:Nice work, ForbzyT! Maltese Falcon is indeed the movie of which I was thinking of.
I see what you did there...
Not that I ever believed or followed this "rule", but whenever I hear something about it, I've always been reminded immediately of "Beavis and Butthead Do America" - Chief. You know that guy whose camper they were whackin' off in? - Bork, you're a Federal Agent. You represent the United States government. Never end a sentence with a preposition. - Oh, uhh. You know that guy in whose camper they -- I mean, that guy off in whose camper they were whacking? - That's better.
jcolag wrote:That's something that hadn't occurred to me, actually. If this isn't a rule, what's makes something a "real" rule?
It would certainly help if any authority at all in the last, say, century still stood by it. Or if it was widely observed by good writers before, during, or after the time it was formulated.
jcolag wrote:And putting the preposition at the beginning of the prepositional phrase is going to often push you toward clearer, smoother expression.
I think you might have to argue this, not just assert it. Prepositional phrases do have the preposition first ("at school," "under the bed") but sentence-ending prepositions don't occur in phrases like these, as a moment's thought will reveal. They're usually in relative clauses or similar constructions. How is "I have the stuff for which you were asking" inherently smoother or clearer than "I have the stuff you were asking for"? It's not. In different variations, one version may have better cadence than the other, but clarity of expression is rarely at stake--and when it is, it probably favors preposition-at-the-end more often than not.
I agree completely, but there are times when a preposition at the end of a QUESTION is wrong (they're sentences too, you know!). For example: "Where are you going to?" or "Where did she put it at?" In each example above, lop off that pesky preposition at the end because it's not needed, it's redundant. Indeed, the questions even sound better without them. But that isn't a Rule, either. :-)
whoiskenjennings wrote:How is "I have the stuff for which you were asking" inherently smoother or clearer than "I have the stuff you were asking for"? It's not.
Fair, but clearer in many cases than either would be "I have what you wanted." Or specify what it is; I know I ask for a lot of things over the course of a day. (Another possible point, wherein we're both wrong--though I forget the relevant linguistics to make the point--is that the "for" in your example may not be a preposition. Parts of speech are roles, not words, and prepositions are relational. Maybe I'm dense or there's a complement that's left understood, but I don't see what roles "for" relates.) Maybe it's because I'm a programmer and work that way generally, but it seems perfectly viable to push borderline phrasing into the outright unpleasant so that it's replaced by something else. "...Or avoid the preposition entirely," seems implied. As I said, I don't usually adhere to the guideline. I think I'm usually a clear enough writer that it doesn't help enough to spend time on it. I've also never demanded that anybody else follow it, because that's obnoxious even when right. But where anything sounds off, I'll take what help on which I can get the hands of me (hey, possessives stink, too).

Advocates in Action RI developed the Leadership Series to help people learn how to speak up for themselves and make a difference.
The Leadership Series is a 10 month learning experience for Rhode Islanders who have a developmental disability, family members, friends and direct support staff. The Series begins with a kick-off retreat which all class
members must attend. This is casual, fun-filled opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and learn more about the year that's ahead of them. The retreat is followed by classes that meet several times a month from September thru June. Each class covers topic related to
Leadership and Self-Advocacy. During the series, students will be introduced to the tools they need to
speak up for themselves and others.
You don't need to be able to read or write to be a member of the Leadership Series. Our curriculum also includes pictures, video, audio, games and other interactive
media that make the information accessible, easy to understand and fun!
There are also homework assignments and extra events to attend between classes, including RI's Annual
Statewide Self-Advocacy conference on October 30th, at which class members will be given a hands-on opportunity to practice some basic leadership skills. Class members will be the on-stage
hosts for the Annual Statewide Self-Advocacy Meeting in the Spring of 2015, during which they will practice public speaking, facilition and additional skills that they'll learn in the Leadership Series. Everyone
who completes the Series will graduate at a formal ceremony and be eligible to join the Advocates in Action RI Leadership Academy where they can continue to learn, practice and also teach Self-Advocacy and Leadership Skills.
The Leadership Series is coordinated by Advocates in Action Rhode Island. Participation in the Series
is FREE thanks to the support of the RI Center for Excellence in Advocacy. SPACE IS LIMITED and we encourage everyone who is interested to apply today! Eligible applications will be invited to an interview on Wednesday, August 20th.

We just had a low voltage contractor go through our house and recommend an intercom system which uses our existing phones as intercoms. We've never heard of such a system. Does anyone out there have any experience with or knowledge of such a system? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is possible to use a regular phone as an intercom, but possibly only after modification (in order to signbal the other stations' ringers). Many years ago, I had a neighbor modify a pair of Western Electric 302s that I bought from Lafayette Radio. He modified each phone so that the other phone's bell would ring when one dialed "0" on a phone. I also needed a 67 (or so) volt battery connected between the phones to power the bells. |
I just bought Philips 1.9Ghz cordless phones. 3 handsets worth. They have the intercom feature. Amazon, get three with answering machine base for under hundred bucks. Push conference & then 1,2,or 3 and it rings just that phone. Think GE's 1.9ghz does it too so maybe its a feature of the newer DECT 1.9ghz phones. |

I've stayed at this hotel several times, and have no hesitation to stay again. The rooms are well designed and spacious. The Hotel Management were gracious and helpful for anything needed. Internet was not included during my stays - which I thought was odd, given the market. There is a nice pool, business center, and restaurant in the hotel. The hotel is situated within a short walk of Saladaeng Skytrain station and Silom MTR, and the hustle of Silom and Patpong markets. I'd recommend this place.

We had a problem with service on the 2nd morning of our stay. There seemed to be no staff readily available. They seemed to disappear from their stations. eg. The tables were not ready, The egg lady was not always ready to cook egges, the coffee serving person kept disappearing. It was my 2nd stay at Bandera and it was the service was not what I had been used to. Review by: Robyn OppermanDate stayed December 31, 2008 |

The hotel charges a high price for the use of internet (250 baht/day)! It's not very convenient if you need to use computer right away, for the hotel does not open the business center yet. Besides, the snacks in the mini bar are not cheap. Making an international call is expensive. The hotel doesn't prepare a map for their location, although they did have instruction on how to go to their place. Otherwise, their service and location are good. Review by: AnonymousDate stayed October 13, 2008 |

Hotel rate booked through [your website] was a very good deal. We travel to Bangkok very often and stayed with many different hotels and serviced apartments before. We like this hotel the best because it is in a quiet street, just one lane away form the major roads. Quick to get on the expressway for the airport and walking distance to Silom major shopping area. There a few good restaurants around, just 5 minutes walk. Well worth a try! Review by: AnonymousDate stayed August 4, 2008 |

The staff here always makes me feel welcome. They remember my name and treat me as a returning friend - always a wonderful thing when you are traveling. And the location is terrific for getting anywhere. It''s a short walk to the skytrain or a taxi is available at a moment''s notice. There are some cool motorcycle guys to whisk you back and forth to the Silom area also...an interesting way to move around! All-in-all, a perfect spot.

Great location close to Saladaeng BTS (less than 10 minute walk) Lumpini Park (10 mins) Silom Road shopping ( 7 minutes). Clean and comfortable rooms. A real asset to the hotel is the very friendly security staff. They are always helpful and pleasant. Good restaurant on site and a quick and efficient laundry service. I have stayed at Chin House many times and will continue to do so. Review by: AnonymousDate stayed September 7, 2005 |

The College of Health and Human Development
Communication Sciences and Disorders
The undergraduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders is a pre-professional program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The four-year undergraduate degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) includes course work, observation, writing assessments, and diversity experiences in normal and disordered aspects of speech, language, and hearing. The undergraduate program is geared toward preparing students for more extensive training at the graduate level. A Master's degree in CSD is the minimal entry level degree for working in the profession of speech-language pathology. A Doctorate of Audiology (Au.D.) is the minimum entry-level degree for working in the profession of audiology. Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists provide intervention, diagnositc, and therapeutic services to children and adults having speech, language, and/or hearing disorders.
As such, students contemplating a profession in speech-language pathology or audiology must be prepared to continue their education beyond a bachelor's degree. Entrance into CSD graduate programs is very competitive and the likelihood of admission into graduate programs is enhanced by strong credentials (e.g. excellent grade point average, very good Graduate Record Examination scores, strong letters of recommendation, and a compelling letter of intent).
The CSD pre-professional undergraduate degree also provides the foundation for other career opportunities including education, special education, counseling, and other health-related professions.
The Pennsylvania State University is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to programs, facilities, admission, and employment without regard to personal characteristics not related to ability, performance, or qualifications as determined by University policy or by state or federal authorities. It is the policy of the University to maintain an academic and work environment free of discrimination, including harassment. The Pennsylvania State University prohibits discrimination and harassment against any person because of age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religious creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status. Discrimination or harassment against faculty, staff, or students will not be tolerated at The Pennsylvania State University.
Undergraduates exploring CSD as a possible major should enroll in one or more of our introductory courses: CSD 146 Introduction to Communication Sciences and Disorders, CSD 230 Introduction to Audiology, or CSD 269 Deafness and Society. Normally undergraduates are admitted once they have 28 credits and a GPA greater than 2.00. Currently, we have 424 undergraduates in the major. The program strongly supports undergraduate education and experiences, cultural diversity, and the Schreyer Scholars Program. Further, the program offers sequential course work and by appropriate scheduling students can minor in a related area.
The graduate program of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the National Council on Accreditation in Teaching and Education. The faculty are nationally and internationally recognized for their academic and research accomplishments.
For more information about the CSD undergraduate program, please contact:

Okay, so my girls were riding their bikes on the patio, took the corner a little too sharply and seperated one of my plumeria from its pot and roots! What to do now? I put it back in the pot, but should I strip all the leafs or leave them on? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

No roots=no leaves. Strip the leaves and treat it as a cutting. You may want to use some rooting hormone on the end. Mike |
Thanks, Mike. I've removed the leaves (leaving only the claws), dipped the end in rooting hormone, and put back in the pot. And, moved the pot out of way! Now, I'll just sit back and wait - with my fingers crossed... |

I agree, kids and plumeria don't mix. My grandson recently tried to "help" me. He cut off The tops off 3 of my plants. Luckily they weren't any of my named varieties. I stuck them in the dirt and hope they root. One of the stumps is already sprouting a couple of branches. |

Having a CHL here in Texas and being a member of the Texas Concealed Handgun Instructor Association (I am not an instructor, all CHL holders can join and support the organization) brings an added benefit of being able to apply for and obtain a 'self defense' insurance policy.
I have been thinking about getting the insurance, and since there are so many experienced folks here, I am wondering what your thoughts are on something like this and if you think it would be worth the investment?
Also, is the same, or something similar offered where you live ?
Here is the link, and I thank you in advance for your input:

"These labels are great to use instead of birthday cards. When our kids go to a party, we place this label on the gift and write in the birthday boy or girls name. The parents appreciate it because they don't have to deal with a card they're only going to throw away. And you will save a ton of money on birthday cards!"
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"I apply these stickers on order receipts to say "thank you"--the stickers are cheerful & give the order a personal touch! Love them!"
"I am having a child-like adults-only game night for my 30th birthday, and all my decor is dots and stripes. I wanted to hand out little favor bags [like for kids' parties] with miniature liquor bottles, so I was looking for some that matched my theme. Luckily, I came across these gift tags & the proportions were perfect to make my own little booze bottles (which ended up saving me money!). Because of the large area on the tags, I was able to turn them into a little thank you cards while still including my party info on them. I am extremely pleased with the end result, and the bottles look exactly as I wanted them to."

Hi all.
Newbie to garlic here! I'm cramped for space - condo - is it possible to grow garlic in a 1/2 whiskey barrel? I think it's a solid zone 5. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yep, shouldn't be a problem if you keep the soil fertility reasonably high and you're planting hardnecks. I normally grow most in the ground but due to work in another state I grew out a few cloves in 12" pots this year - 2 per pot of Killarney Red since they're compact to begin with - and ended up with 2" heads. You'll need to have full sun and keep them watered well especially during bulb formation but you can easily get both a section of garlic for heads and another, planted closely, for garlic scallions in a 1/2 whiskey barrel. |
