TwoPoints.Net beats the system.
The invisible part of graphic design is the magic that most viewers won't even recognize as they enjoy the perks of a well thought out publication or website. It's these nuances; flexible but effective editorial systems, attention to detail, and an eye for coherent communication, that push TwoPoints.Net to the front of the pack of small design firms in Barcelona. Started in Holland in 2000 as a platform for visual artists to express themselves, TwoPoints.Net officially opened its doors as a full service graphic design studio specializing in (but not limited to) editorial and identity systems in 2007.
At the helm, you'll find German natives Martin Lorenz and Lupi Asensio. The duo studied and worked in Holland prior to leading the small team that comprises TwoPoints.Net. Though the group's final products are often full of color, lightheartedness, and escape a singular "style," the vibe in this studio is very focused. One might liken this workspace to a small library, except every single book on the shelves is packed with vibrant visual and typographic insights, and there's no membership card required. Martin exudes poignancy and quiet confidence when explaining his objectives and processes, which can also be described as systematic in nature. "After the rational system is solved, the application of design becomes a logical step," reflects Martin.
Martin and Lupi strive to push the progression of design in Barcelona, rather than mimic their contemporaries. Firm believers that designers must remain courageous, and "have the balls to fail," in order to innovate, the pair direct a postgraduate course in applied typography at the renowned Elisava design school, and share their keen typographic insights with the next generation of aspiring designers.

Inbar Spector's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection was as stunning as the previous one. Taking inspiration from the theme of fairytale and escapism, Israeli-born designer stays true to her airy and enchanting style signature. This year's collection questions the limit of' where skin ends and where body starts'. Fascinated by plastic surgery, Spector brings an ideal vision of the body mixed with the garment resulting from our constant dissatisfaction with our body.
Inbar Spector's incredible complex pieces set off with transparent sheer crinoline skirts, beautiful corsets, aerial concertina detailing, laces, silks and intricate metallic patterns. Gorgeous headpieces made of precious stones especially created by Lara Jensen for the show came to complete the whole fairytale look. The other accessories were the shoes that matched the garments by its same sophisticated pattern. The colours of the collection went from smoked pink, light green and purple to gold and darker tones, a colour palette familiar to Spector's utopian theme. Once more, Spector took us to a fairytale world full of fantasy dreams and circus clowns where escapism led the way. When the model immersed in a voluminous lantern-like shape of white ruffles marked the end of this spectacular show, the crowd was already acclaiming the amazing collection and talent of the Israeli-born designer.

Ubuntu International Project's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection shown at Freemasons House fused the techniques and traditions of South Africa in a contemporary collection of jewelry, dresses and slogan t-shirts from a range of designers working under the Ubuntu brand. The collection is aimed at developing, promoting and exporting unique South African designs creating a high-end heritage brand. The show featured collections from eight designers which included Clinton Lotter, Jose Hendo, Frankli wild, Africa Ceo, Ayo Van Elma, Zohi Taglit, Studio 24 and House j'ola. the designers reflected a southern African theme through the use of bright colors and African inspired prints combined with turbans or printed head pieces. The standout collections were Josi Hendo and Ayo Van Elma, whose collections encompased the African theme best. Elma creatively used incense sticks, nesting them in turban-like head pieces to further emphasise her African inspiration, whilst Hendo reflected the theme through his use of burnt orange, red and deep plum brushed suede dresses which were structured with sharp folds mimicking that of paper origami.
Clinton Lotter: Pieces of black fabric were latticed to create loosely weaved tops, revealing bare skin beneath black strips. The look was given a conservative edge with dogtooth embroidered pencil skirts and jackets in black and dark blue featuring geometric velvet panels. Croc effect patent skirts in deep wine shades and suede jackets with patent panels gave the collection an autumnal feel whilst Suede finger gloves combined with patent platform heels gave a lady-like feel. The stand-out piece was a black glittered to the knee dress with a deep v-neck and latticed black which exuded glamour.
Frankli Wild: Wild's jewelry reflected bright South African culture through its use of coloured beads in eye-catching oranges, reds and turquoises. The collection featured large oversized statement pieces. Traditional African beads were combined with shimmering coloured jewels and silver chains to make individual yet wearable pieces that were striking and bold.
Josi Hendo: Hendo's soft brushed suede dresses came in an array of bright African inspired shades. From ochre yellow to burnt orange to deep reds, each dress was as striking as the one before it. Dresses were folded and structured in origami-like shapes, this layering and folding of fabric gave the dresses and individual and quirky edge.
Africa Ceo: Africa Ceo's collection featured simple, plain over-sized black cotton t-shirts with inspiring images that were versatile and simple. This was not so much a collection, more an advertisement for the brand; however the slogans were clever and imaginative. This collection reflected fashion in its simplest form.
Ayo Van Elma: Round hat-caps with incense sticks placed on them were worn with printed dresses and clashing bright jackets with large button detailing. Skirts made of fine cotton were voluminous with a puff-ball structure. Black, red, grey and powder blue embroidered paneled coat dresses created an intresting twist on African Fashion. Lace tights were worn with rope wrapped around ankles to add a modern fashion-foward edge to the collection.
Zohi Taglit: Taglit's collection centered on mini wrap dresses in red, white and black patterned prints with 80s style wide high waist silk belts with large round plastic fastenings. Red printed skirts were clashed with powder blue printed wrap shirts which were jeweled along the colar line.
Studio 24: Flared cargo style trousers in mink and beige shades with patterned piping along the pocket seams were worn with shirts which were tied above the naval to expose models stomachs. The shirts came in prints matching that of the piping detail on the trouser. Paneling around the colors also matched trousers and added interest to the otherwise simple shirts.
House J'ola: J'ola's collection was varied, with patterned dresses and jumpsuits made of soft silks featuring in a mix of contrasting prints and cuts. Some were bright and eye-catching in shades of pink and orange, others were more discrete with patterns printed in earthy tones such as beige, taupe and grey.

House of Revolution at Freemasons Hall showcased the Autumn/Winter collections from three designers: Delada, Zeynep Tosun and Nadine Merabi. Each collection reflected a sophisticated and elegant edge. Whilst some elements were similar in each collection such as the use of chiffon for dresses and blouses, the designers' use of colour, tones and textures greatly varied, setting each collection apart from the other. Delada created simple, wearable everyday pieces, Zeynep Tosun showcased sleek and sharp tailored garments and Nadine Merabi, beautiful and elegant evening attire.
Delada: Sheer black see-through blouses were styled with black body-con pencil skirts and sky-high platforms to form a sophisticated collection with a sexy edge. A White shirt was worn under a black encrusted corset emphasising the female silhouette and adding an evening edge to the black skinny trousers that they were combined with. Jackets with exposed zips and triangular folded collars reminiscent of the biker jacket were put with black skinnies and platform heels and gave the collection a rock chick edge. Dresses were of textured tweed with sheer, black, chiffon panels.
Zeynep Tosun: Zeynep Tosun's collection used autumnal colours, burnt reds and oranges were used in tailored trousers and jackets to create outfit combinations that were the epitome of sophistication. Tosun used thick Perspex plastic to create structured semi-opaque corsets in deep burnt red shades, these were combined with white shirts beneath and a tailored trousers. Shoes were silver patent with white rope detailing and pointed at the toe. An over-sized backpack in a structured leather was one of the more wearable pieces of the show. A white high collar tunic gave a conservative feel to the collection. Red blazer coats with leather panels added further emphasised the classic tailoring used in this show.
Nadine Merabi: Nadine Merabi's collection of elegant evening wear came in soft greys, whites and a beautiful lilac toned taupe. Lace was widely used in dresses and on the stand-out piece, a round neck, sleeveless dress with a lace top and silk maxi skirt which was gathered in a paper-bag style at the waist. Soft evening dresses in clean whites and greys were worn with simple satin tailored jackets and oozed timeless elegance. Billowing, voluminous silk dresses in whites and greys with crossed over detailing at the bust were connected to choker-like metal neck pieces that were open at the front. Models had their hair styled in soft quiffs and the eye make-up was a soft pewter smokey eye complimenting the tones of the opulent dresses.

Inspired by Princess Grace, Jeff Garner made impeccable used of saturated colours with a combination of midnight blacks, reds, pinks, and peaches – perfectly allowing the palette to contrast against pure white silk. Hemp wool plaid material played its role as a new, refreshed material choice while adventurous elephant-painted and dainty floral prints subtly infused into the collection. Menswear leant towards a modest side, but the female look portrayed an independent woman, particularly through the use of full, snow-white and soft-grey gowns and dresses, and tailored purple trousers. Shapes were kept minimal and rather classical with less architectural challenges but worked in favour to allow focal attention to be drawn upon intricate details, high collars and floor sweeping hemlines, all of which further avowed a flawless romantic scene.
With an outstanding exception, Prophetik's finale dress made use of antique, exquisite quilt work; formulated from silk, a vintage pocket watch, Jeff Garner's grandmother's aged quilts, and naturally shed black ostrich feathers.

Marios Schwab's Autumn/Winter collection today was a salute to great eras gone by with a show of dainty tailoring and vintage-inspired accessories. Using a format of clean, simple colours cream, camel, black and green. Schwab created some truly feminine and elegant ensembles with accessories dominated his collection through his inclusion of leather gloves, T-bar heels and most notably a stunning assortment of hats: ranging from 1920's cloche style to those with a striking wide brim. Schwab added delicate detail to shirts and thin jumpers with intricately sewn necklines, leather panels and chiffon layering. Knee length skirts and long textured coats were repeated throughout the collection and the styling of simple ponytail hairstyles emphasised the 'more is less' theme. Schwab created a collection that truly portrays women as women: unapologetically feminine, elegant and indirectly seductive.

Shao Yen's autumn/winter 2012 collection was full of staple pieces of suit jackets, blazers and A-Line skirts updated with a twist. Inspired by British style, Yen combined countryside chic materials of tweed and knitwear, along with sport wear sneakers and jogging trousers popular in London subcultures. The mix resulted in classic pieces of sheer skirts, tailored pants and mixes of leather and shaggy fur. Key pieces included a black velvet cape with fur trimmings and leather panels, and a slouchy drawstring blazer with an orange fur collar.
Yen's collection embodied the variation in British fashion and shows staple everyday pieces with his trademark experimentation with unconventional materials and form.

Antipodium embraced London Fashion Week with a thoroughly English Autumn/Winter catwalk show yesterday. Australian designer Geoffrey J. Finch based his collection on the gritty architecture and urbanisation of East London, choosing to celebrate elements of England that the glamourous world of fashion sometimes forgets: "Olympic stadiums as well as pigeons, old ladies and tower blocks. A mix of highs and lows." The pieces were a great mix of high fashion and easy-wear options, pairing together classic slit pencil skirts, leather, and fur with sport jackets and rain coats. Making the latter the focal point of each outfit proved a clever idea when embracing a typical English Autumn. Injections of sky blue, green, yellow and brown complimented the British climate and gave a retro, seventies feel into the otherwise simple colour scheme. Antipodium presented ensembles that are tremendously versatile and easy to wear while still being feminine – something all Brits can be proud to sport.

For her autumn/winter 2012 collection, Italian designer Carlotta Actis Barone chose to honour the victims of the Shoa. A rather unusual theme for a fashion collection, showing that the commemoration can be expressed through any field and any support.
The show was well-planned: white smokes opened the catwalk. A dramatic atmosphere invaded the stage where the music and the slow pace of the models reinforced the tension in the room. Not just the collection but the entire show was a hommage to the victims of the Holocaust. Carlotta Actis Barone sees the dress as an expression of the Jewish victim's dignity as human beings. Inspiration from traditional Jewish cape, as well as the shapes of the dresses and jackets, suggested the right to pray during these events. Pans of fabric around the waist gave the impression of a need for protection. Typography all over the body deeply marked the skin. The colour palette black, blue and purple reminded us of tragic social events. A choice for sobriety necessary to commemorate the Holocaust. Known for her collections based on social issues, Carlotta Actis Barone creates an A/W collection that forces respect by its theme and by her social desire to honour the victims of the Shoa.

Pour sa collection automne/hiver 2012, la créatrice italienne Carlotta Actis Barone choisit de rendre hommage aux disparus de la Shoah. Un thème plutôt original pour une collection de mode, montrant que la commémoration de ces événements passe par tout domaine et tout support.
La mise en scène était bien ficelée: des volutes de fumée blanche ouvrirent le défilé. Une atmosphère dramatique envahit la scène où la musique et la cadence lente des mannequins renforcèrent la tension ambiante dans la salle. Bien plus que la collection, tout le défilé entier fut un hommage aux victimes de l'Holocauste. Carlotta Actis Barone voit la robe comme une expression de la dignité des victimes juives en tant qu'êtres humains. Une peau qui les protège, défend et les honore. S'inspirant de la cape traditionnelle juive pour prier, les coupes des robes et vestes suggérèrent le droit à la prière lors des terribles événements. Des lanières de tissu autour de la taille donnaient l'impression d'un irrépressible besoin de protection. De la typographie saturant tout le corps marqua la chair au plus profond d'elle-même. Les teintes à dominante noir, bleu et violet rappelèrent des circonstances tragiques de la société. Un choix de sobriété et de tons foncés absolument nécessaires pour commémorer l'Holocauste.
Connue pour ses collections basées sur des problèmes de société, Carlotta Actis Barone réussit une collection a/h qui force le respect autant par son thème que par son désir social d'honorer les victimes de la Shoah.

Todd Lynn's collection proved to be an exciting clash of historic and modern influence with pieces in muted colours emphasised through razor sharp tailoring. Lynn took a modern approach to aesthetics with extremely high collars – a classic design choice for him. With their angular shape but seductively low and narrow V, he's created a perfect balance between masculine and feminine. Accompanied with sharp shoulders, a definite raw edge was given to his structure. The collection came in an assortment of majestic colours, mainly dark tones, but bursts of classic autumnal orange and jewel teal were included occasionally adding excitement and accentuating the quality of his infamous tailoring.
Lynn lists the Renaissance as part of his inspiration, which is clear in the simplicity of the designs and colour scheme. However, he gives his pieces a futuristic twist with an androgynous structure with inclusions of leather and fur "for good measure", he claims. Overall his collection works effectively with his shapely shoulders and chic leather gloves being the instantly recognisable pieces for the coming season.

High Quality AA and AF
While we test all our games with maximum in-game settings, turning on Anti-Aliasing (AA) and Antistrophic Filtering (AF) helps take the intensity of our testing to another level.
Here we see video cards go from playable FPS to an unplayable FPS and the real power houses continue to help break that 60 FPS mark we always aim for to provide a smooth gaming experience.
At 1920 x 1200, the 29 FPS minimum and 56 FPS average is playable with these settings. Moving to 2560 x 1600 isn't an option, though, as the minimum is just too low along with the average.
Metro Last Light isn't an option with no AA and AF on, so it comes as no surprise that the numbers are incredibly low here when we do turn it on.
We again see that with AA and AF on, the R7 620X just can't give us the FPS we need.
Finishing up with Sleeping Dogs, we also see that once AA and AF is on, the numbers aren't where they need to be.

The timeline for when senior White House officials knew about the IRS scandal seems to be shifting. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday that the president's counsel was told on April 24 about the preliminary findings of an IRS audit that showed tax officials unfairly targeted Tea Party groups applying for tax exempt status.

High School Kills Color-Coded ID Program
Motivation (406 comments)
Some kids are motivated by good grades, some by getting a good job, some by money, some might even be demotivated by those things.* Setting up a one-size-fits-all system (grades) and then inventing punitive solutions for those that aren't thus motivated isn't addressing the root problem.
The only people that have the knowledge and ability to motivate the children are the parents. The problem then is how to motivate the parents. There are probably a hundred ways to do that but my ideology would suggest tax breaks/penalties for each child that does well on yearly SATs. I'd suggest that the incentives should be balanced by disincentives, so that its cost neutral, or nearly so.
Even if it did cost the government more upfront, hopefully that would get offset by higher tax revenue once the children graduate...
Setting up a system like this would be relatively simple. The tricky parts are properly handling the edge cases (learning disabilities, etc.) and hardening the system. (better motivated children might feel more pressure to cheat)

I was given a potted calla lily as a gift and kept it in my semi-dark living room for a few months, but once it stopped flowering the leaves kind of folded under on themselves (resembling upside-down taco shells) and then began to flop over...they stayed green but the plant has started to look like a mop. Can I plant it outside?
Thanks! |

Laura Ormson is all to familiar with the lack of cute golf clothing. Competing when she was younger, she was often embarrassed to wear the clothing that was deemed tournament appropriate. While attending Wake Forest, Laura and her mom, Cindy who's a designer, talked about starting a golf apparel line for young women. With the help of Office of Entrepreneurship, they built a business plan and started Wear to Win.
Although the clothes are targeted to younger ladies, the designs have elements that we could all love and wear. "The skorts are designed to fit just below the natural waist so that they are comfortable and figure-flattering for all [and] the Slimming Ruched Top is flattering through the mid-section thanks to its unique design featuring extra length and subtle gathers along the side," Laura says. Added bonus – all the clothes are made in Chicago and can be purchased on their website.
In addition, the Ormsons are aiming to help young women be more confident on and off the course. Their blog, The Clubhouse, is written by "junior, collegiate and professional golfers who offer the secrets of their experiences to girls and women. Our latest post features Jillian Speece, a high school and collegiate golfer, as she and her band depart on national tour. These interviews, mental tricks, exercise tips, and motivating stories are there to empower girls in their games, their careers and their lives," says Laura.

Top 5 favorite must-have Hawaii foods: HAWAII Magazine Facebook poll results
by: Maureen O'Connellposted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 at 04:41 PM
No. 3 (tie)
Barely 2 percent of the world's pineapple crop is still grown in Hawaii—once the world's pineapple-producing capital. But a plate of ice-cold, freshly sliced pineapple is still a popular gotta-have treat. Introduced to the Islands in 1813, pineapple grew into one of Hawaii's largest exported crops in the early 1900s after significant land investments by Del Monte and Hawaiian Pineapple Co. (today known as Dole Food Co.). Hawaii pineapple production declined in the 1980s as Dole and Del Monte relocated much of their acreage elsewhere in the world, primarily due to high U.S. labor and land costs. Dole closed down the entirety of its Lanai pineapple operations in 1992, while Del Monte harvested its final Hawaii crop in 2008.
Poke— pronounced "poh-keh"—is the Hawaiian word for the action of slicing, or cutting crosswise into pieces. The fish dish, most commonly made with raw ahi (tuna), cut into cubes and seasoned with ingredients such as soy sauce, Hawaiian sea salt and sesame oil. Poke is further accented with limu (seaweed), crushed nuts, green onion and other ingredients. Early Hawaiians reportedly favored a mix fish, salt, seaweed and chopped kukui nuts (inamona). Later recipes mixed in onions and, sometimes, tomatoes. These days, you'll find a wide selection — tako (octopus) with ginger and garlic to tofu in shoyu with watercress and tomato — at Hawaii fish markets.. You can also find poke at grocery stores and in various restaurants.

Over the past few months, I've been fighting a major issue with time management…
Since being promoted to Controller/Director of IT in September last year, I've been effectively doing the job of two people. We made an attempt to hire someone to fill the Senior Accountant/Systems Administrator position, but it didn't work out. So basically, I've been running a position down since that time. Fortunately this will come to an end on May 12, when I have a new person joining us as Senior Accountant at Fairwinds.
The problem I'm fighting now is that I have a HUGE list of things to do, and I'm almost feeling paralyzed. I have so many things on my list that I don't know where to start. What I'd like to do is to try and place the major milestone items on a calendar, work out the estimated time to complete, and figure out how much of my time is committed. From there it should leave me some holes that I can fill in smaller tasks around, or delegate.
The problem I'm working with is that I have some deadlines that are carved in stone, and some that can bump. As I do primary systems support for Fairwinds, my job is very interrupt driven; something that is not going to go away since we've given up on hiring someone to be a systems/accountant hybrid. In all the training I've had in management skills, time management and project management are areas that are lacking.
I'm curious to know what other people do? What methods do you have for:
- Keeping track of miscellaneous tasks? (I use Outlook 2007)
- Prioritizing tasks?
- Managing larger projects?
- Balancing everything so that you don't feel that you just have sand slipping through your fingers?

Signature Card — What's in Your Wallet?
February 2008 By Cheryl AdamsManaging Editor
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, chances are pretty good that you're already familiar with Richardson, TX-based Signature Card. That's because there's a pretty good chance that at least one of those cards was manufactured by Signature.
"Our products are everywhere," says Jack Farris, partner/owner. "Signature Card produces almost any type of customized plastic card, just short of the secure MC/Visa and Amex product lines. This includes gift cards, loyalty cards, frequent shopper cards, supermarket keytags, hotel keycards and many more.
"On your next hotel stay, please throw away that plastic hotel keycard," he quips. "We'd like to print some more of them!"
Signature Card is a leading manufacturer in this short-run niche, which includes card runs from a few hundred up to a million cards. By utilizing multicolor Plextor UV presses, the company is able to print in a one-up fashion, as opposed to printing on large sheets and then cutting them down to individual cards. "We are able to turn on a dime with our production," says Farris, "experiencing very little waste product along the way."
The vast majority of cards manufactured today require some sort of personalization, whether it's a barcode, magnetic encoding or turnkey fulfillment, including affixing, folding, addressing and mailing services, he explains. Signature Card built a secure data facility that runs high-speed Atlantic Zeiser and Ga-Vehren personalization systems as part of the company's recent expansion to accommodate these needs.
In accommodating the need for "green," the company offers short runs of cards printed on either corn stock for a biodegradable solution or on recycled card, whereby Signature Card donates a portion of the proceeds to the preservation of rain forests.
"Printing on plastic is a very tough and demanding business that has few specialists within a rapidly growing market segment," Farris claims. But Signature Card—which operates with 58 employees in 10,000 square feet, running nine Plextor press lines two shifts per day (plus its secure data facility)—has become a major player in plastic card manufacturing.
Short Runs, Fast Turns
"Many of North America's leading large-format card houses and printing companies have come to rely upon us as their short-run, fast-turn partner," says Farris. "Although the gift card market has been around for more than a decade and is very mature among the 'big box' retailers, growth and acceptance have been pushed down to the broader, small retail marketplace. It is in this small-run, fast-turn segment that Signature Card has thrived."
Signature Card started out as a small plastic card printer focused on printing discount and fundraiser cards. "The company hobbled along, just keeping its nose above water," says Farris, noting that Signature Card has been in business 11 years through three sets of owners. Mounting debts forced the sale of the business in 2002 to its second owner, who had extensive operational background, but no printing knowledge.
The second owner was able to regain profitability, adding additional press lines and staff to expand the business into direct and small reseller channels. A Web-based advertising initiative was started to let the world know that Signature Card was available for short-run plastic card production.
In 2004, the third and current set of owners purchased Signature Card. The acquisition team comprised three individuals: Farris, Tom Kissell and Michael Gallant.
"Michael heads up finance, marketing and HR. Tom oversees production. My focus is sales," Farris continues. "The partnership works perfectly with everyone sharing the common goal of producing a great customer experience and establishing Signature Card as the premier short-run producer of customized plastic cards in North America."
The hard work has paid off, as Signature Card has nearly quadrupled in volume in the past three and a half years. Today, the company—with nearly $8 million in annual sales—employs two shifts, has a fully automated system for complete job tracking, and the data department fills a wing in the building.
Farris credits the company's success to its employees and points to the fact that Signature has little turnover in its staff. "We truly foster an all-for-one and family attitude within our company. The common goal is zero defects, and we are constantly going through process improvements within every department to streamline order flow and eliminate mistakes. Because a plastic card goes through so many 'touches' in its lifecycle, one mistake by one individual will nullify all of the hard work done by the team."
Another area of achievement for the three partner-owners is the company's tracking software that streams quotes directly from the Web into the sales department's quoting system. "We take great pride in our rapid response to a customer inquiry. We consider ourselves sales consultants, not order takers. This same software enables every employee to access a customer and their projects from any terminal in the facility. It empowers every employee to be a customer-focused representative and able to provide immediate status as to where their job is within our plant."
With graphics, printing, production, personalization, fulfillment and shipping all within one facility, Farris concludes that he and his partners see Signature Card doubling its capacity within the next 12 months—adding more printing and personalization lines to the infrastructure, as the plastic card industry continues to grow into every facet of everyday life.

Track – JCCC teams compete in region conference championships
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The Johnson County Community College men's and women's track teams competed in the Region VI and East Jayhawk Conference Championships last weekend at Anschutz Pavilion at the University of Kansas. The men finished seventh in the region team standings, and fourth in the conference, while the women placed fifth and third respectively. The Lady Cavaliers were the defending region and conference champions entering the event.
JCCC throwers Caniggia Raynor for the men, and Monet Jackson for the women posted record-setting performances in the weight throw. Raynor set a conference and region meet record with a throw of 61-9.5. Earlier this year, he set the school and JCCC Fieldhouse record with a mark of 62-8.5.
Jackson also established a new conference record, while bettering the mark she set previously this year, with a throw of 60-11.5. This was the third consecutive meet Jackson broke her own record in the weight throw.
Mark Sitek sprinted his way to all-conference and all-region honors in the 400-meter dash with a win in the conference and a runner-up finish in the region. He posted a time of 49.91.
The men's 4x800 and distance medley relays had a successful meet. The 4x800 team claimed a victory in the conference and second place in the region, and the DMR placed raced to a runner-up conference finish. The 4x800 team was comprised by Nickson Baselle, Hans Pitia, Kurt Vukas and Kamp Wiebe. Vukas and Wiebe, along with Michael Chalfant and Peter Rogers made the four member of the distance medley team.
The women's DMR team also earned all-conference recognition. The team of McKenzie Gorthy, Angela Mancuso Halie McCombs and Brittney Parks placed second with a time of 14:04.01. That also earned them a third place region finish.
In the men's pole vault, Garrett Smith matched his season-best effort of 14-3.35 to earn runner-up finishes conference and region standings. He actually tied the top mark, but had to settle for second based on number of attempts.
In the women's pole vault, Jessica Tingle also earned a pair of runner-up finishes. She cleared a season-best 10-11.75 and earned all-conference and all-region honors.
Macy Ebert claimed both conference and region titles in the high jump, while setting a season-best mark. She cleared 5-3.25 and earned all-conference and all-region accolades.
In the women's triple jump, Jalisa Brice won a conference crown and finished runner-up in the region with a mark of 37-5.25.
Another winner for JCCC was distance runner Liliana Lira in the mile run. Lira posted a winning time in the conference standings of 5:39.45. That also earned her a third place finish in the region.

Show site changes explained:
The Land of Lakes Muscle Car Classic Show has found a new home in Arrow Pontiac!
For reference, below is the progression of venue changes for the past several years:
2009 – 505 building,
2010 – AutoMotorPlex,
2011 – 7500 Flying
Cloud Drive , Eden Prairie
2012+ – Arrow Buick
GMC, Inver Grove Heights
2009 - At 505, the property
management informed us of their plan to make structural
improvements/repairs to the parking lot; however, the door was left
open for us to return once they were completed.
2010 - We sought an opportunity to gain greater exposure for the show and were offered an opportunity to hold the show at AutoMotorPlex for 2010. While nothing less than a first class facility, the AutoMotorPlex layout presented challenges for our type of show and it was decided that either the 505 location or one similar be located.
2011 - As 505 was still not
completed with their ramp maintenance, we were fortunate to locate
the 7500 Flying Cloud Drive site and convince them to allow us to
host the show for 2011.
2012+ - Arrow Buick GMC (formerly Pontiac also) became the new permanant home of the Muscle Car Classic.
With full support, Scott Reid has given us full use of his facility. This is an amazing show site and Scott is a terrific supporter of our hobby. Thank you Scott!
We're looking forward to seeing you for the 2015 show! See you there!

"Phychological Great-Grqndmother"
no one should judge Mary Bruer over trying to get visitation rights to Oliva without knowing the whole story. If you were not around since she was brought from the hospital to Mary's home, since no one in Rosa's family would allow Rosa, Justin and Oliva in their home. I have always looked at Justin as one of my grandkids and would like to see Oliva be apart of Mary's family. If you paid attention to the interview you notice Rosa refered to Oliva as "my kid"

I have a gas fireplace in an apartment. However, every time we use it the smoke alarm goes off after about 10-15 minutes. I cant smell or see any smoke. The room is really small and does get warmer but by no means gets hot. The smoke alarm is located across the room on the ceiling and otherwise (I am assuming) is working fine. It drives me crazy not only because we cant use the fireplace but also because I am afraid it could be dangerous. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and if it could be dangerous? Thanks!! |

This might be a COMBO smoke/CO alarm. (Carbon Monoxide). Is the gas fireplace vented to the outside, or is it a ventless type?? If this is a combo alarm, or just a CO alarm - you need to immediately have the fireplace repaired by a qualified individual in order to be able to use it. If this is just a smoke alarm (smoke alarms are particulate based / fire alarms are heat based - (rapid temperature increase)) - you still have some sort of problem going on. A ventless fireplace has an low oxygen sensor on it; but you still have to be aware of CO and combustion byproducts. A ventless unit - ALL compbustion byproducts and generated heat are deposited into the room. A vented unit should have an outside vent; and room air, and combustion air should be totally separate. Combustion air should not be in the room at all, in any way shape or form - with a vented unit. These function somewhat like a small furnace. Ventless units are supposed to be extremely efficient - which is why they can be 'ventless'. It is a good idea, on ventless - to have a window open slightly when operating. You DO have a problem with the fireplace - since the 'smoke' alarm is going off when you turn the GAS fireplace on... A wood burning fireplace can have chimney height issues, draft issues, etc, which could cause a smoke alarm to go off - with an actual wood burning fireplace - a smoke alarm going off - would not necessarily be an actual true health safety problem. But would indicate that the chimney has some sort of draft problem. (Plenty of wood burning fireplaces do have draft problems.) A GAS fireplace does not have these type of problems. And the functioning of this gas fireplace needs to be repaired by a qualified individual asap. A gas fireplace burner installed into a wood burning fireplace box - could be not burning cleanly - and having particulates going into the room... sort of like a wood burning unit. If this is a gas fireplace vented unit; and not a ventless or a wood burning converted unit - you could check, and see if a vent is clogged by a birds nest or something. The sealing of these things is not watertight. They work somewhat on the principle of "least resistance". (combustion air is kept separate by pipes; but these pipes are mostly just tight fitted together - they don't have a bunch of sealant. And a burning fire is looking for air to burn...) So if a vent is visibily clogged; your clearing of the vent might easily solve your problem. But if you don't see anything obviously wrong when looking at a vent - get it repaired. (or don't use.) Mostly - it sounds like this needs some sort of repair, and concerns your saftey and health. |

CO or Carbon Monoixide by the way - is COLORLESS - you WON'T see it. And has NO SMELL. You won't SMELL it. It is COMPLETELY INVISIBLE to ALL of your senses. Your red blood cells will bond to it more easily than oxygen. And it can kill you quite easily. Poison you very slowly. If your fire alarm is a combo unit (smoke and CO) that is a great saftey feature for you; and again - your fireplace would need work like what I suggested above. |
I have to laugh, because my smoke detector goes off every time I shower. It's outside my bathroom, and it seems the steam or heat from the bathroom that seeps out into the hallway sets off my smoke detector every time. LOL. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Sun, Sep 13, 09 at 16:25
You need to understand the purpose of a smoke alarm. They are to awake you during the night when you are asleep. As such, they need to be placed in the hall just outside each bedroom. You do not need smoke alarms in places that you only use when you are awake. You're setting in your family room enjoying a fire and maybe watching TV. Both are turned off before you go to bed. If the smoke alarms are not hard wired, the one in the room with the fire place needs to be moved. |
I have to disagree with the purpose of smoke alarms in the previous post. Yes, they are designed to wake you. But do you really want them to go off only when the smoke reaches your bedroom? If you're in a traditional house, your bedrooms are upstairs. If a fire starts downstairs (fireplace or otherwise) I'd rather be altered to that fire as quickly as possible, not after it's already going so much that the smoke reaches my bedroom upstairs and I have to jump out a window instead of going downstairs. To the OP-yes, check on the CO. But either way, have the fireplace checked by a chimneysweep to make sure it's venting properly. It could also be putting enough particulates into the air to cause this. It's not right, no matter what. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Wed, Sep 16, 09 at 13:59
To heimert, the only way what you suggest can work is if all the smoke alarms in the house are hard wired on the same circuit which is the modern method. If smoke is detected anywhere in the house, all the alarms go off at once. Incidentially, the hard wire alarms also have a battery back up. |
texasredhead--I have that, but I'm pretty sure I could hear a downstairs smoke alarm from upstairs as well. NOt so shockingly loud, but not something I'd sleep through either. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Fri, Sep 18, 09 at 7:19
I would not care to take the chance! |
You might have the wrong type of smoke alarm. there are two types, ionization and photoelectric. I would think you'd want a photelectric here since the normal combustive products of the gas fireplace shouldn't be smokey. An ionization type maybe picking up the invisibles of the combustion process and alarming on that or it could be a CO thing too as other have mentioned. |
texasredhead, you're the one suggesting not having the smoke alarm in the living room at all. You'd rather take your chances of hearing a non-existent alarm? |

Standard orders include an order for heparin flush for CVL. CVL is running fluids, therefore I "HOLD" the heparin. Are you saying I have to call the MD for this? Get real your butt would never grow back. There are circumstances when you would hold a med without notifying the MD. -
0Jun 24, '10 by jennicoletePer hospital policy I would have to call a doctor if I hold a medication or a patient refuses medication. I would say know your hospital policy and use common sense. You are not a doctor so can't just hold something because you think it's the right thing to do. Also the supervisor could have waited til you came to work to discuss the situation instead of ruining your night and waking you up at 2am.
0Jun 25, '10 by sasha2ladyI see both sides here...I too would have held that insulin. I have never been told where I work that we have to get an order to hold insulin on someone whos bs is 50...they tell us its nursing judgement. Now,if this pt is low 4 out of 5 am in a week...Id surely be on the phone or what not...telling the doc this is whats happening so far this week...what do we need to do about it? .....We give our insulins at 6 and 630 am....which I think is stupid since they dont eat breakfast til around 8am. But, again, where I work we have never ever been told that we cant hold a med, but we have been told that we have to document why we held it. Tough question. Good answers. Makes me want to question it at work also as we do not have nor have we ever had parameters on insulins to hold them.
1Mar 12, '11 by 3dayRNJust found this post. I work on a stepdown floor and I would have held the insulin WITHOUT a dr. order also. Happens all the time on my floor. If I called the doctor about this, I work 7p-7a, I would get reamed from the dr. about calling this. We are expected to make our own judgement about this. I then would tell the dr. in the morning that insulin was held d/t low bs and he would then write or not write new order, whatever he decided.lindarn likes this.

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is heading back to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. — and was reportedly en route Friday evening.
A source said the decision was made to have the the South Shore Democrat return to the famed clinic, where he spent four weeks this summer for bipolar
depression. He had been staying at his home in Washington, D.C. since leaving Mayo.
A source who visited Jackson this week said, "Jesse wanted you to know he is finding it difficult to continue his treatment because the press is staking out his home and making access to his doctor, who is within a short walking distance from his home, incredibly hard."
The source added that Jackson is trying "to stay focused and calm to enhance his treatment and is just following doctor's orders."
Jackson, who is up for reelection next month, announced in June he was taking a leave for medical for "exhaustation." It was later disclosed he is suffering from bipolar depression.

I can see how Webster might be jealous--those are such cute canines in that old photo.
I have a little book filled with photos such as that one(which you are lucky enough to actually own)taken in the 1800's to early
1900's, of dogs with their owners.
I know for a fact that my mental state improved once I got my dog--I smile and laugh every day because of her and just the daily exercise from the walks is a good thing. - December 27, 2009 at 8:28 AM

'Searching For Sonny' Trailer is Murder Imitating Art
Movie News By Scott Beggs on August 16, 2012 | Comments (1)In Searching for Sonny, a group of friends brought together by a high school reunion find themselves suspected of a murder that suspiciously mirrors a play they performed in high school that was written by the supposed victim. From writer/director Andrew Disney, it stars Jason Dohring (Veronica Mars, Ringer), Minka Kelly and Masi Oka. The film hit the Austin Film Festival last year, had a limited theater run as of August 10th and comes to VOD/Blu-ray on August 28th. Fortunately, the trailer hints that it might be a sleeper that deserves a look. All three stars were key reasons to tune into their respective television shows, and the idea seems like it was executed with a kind of tongue in cheek hipness that could work well. At any rate, the trailer has me sold. Check it out for yourself:

Due to declining sales the owners of the African-American interest bookstore Eso Won Books, Los Angeles, Calif., will consider closing later this year. L.A. Wave reported.
This would leave the number of African-American genre bookstores down to no more than half a dozen.
Besides competition from chain stores and Internet retailers, co-owner James Fugate cited a decline in purchases from institutions such as the Los Angeles Unified School District and public libraries. Last week he made a pitch to those customers via e-mail, saying in part, "Supporting us keeps books in the community, especially since we've moved over here, there really isn't a bookstore around, [for] miles. There's no real place--so people come here not just only [for] black books but they come here for school books."
In recent years, Eso Won has won widespread attention for a series of star-studded book signings and readings, which have featured such notables as former President Bill Clinton, actress Angela Bassett and mystery writer Walter Mosley.
But, Fugate said, many attendees don't purchase books at these events. "Certainly people come when we have our big events and I think, in some ways, people began to think, 'Oh, Eso Won could get by because we got President Clinton. Then they think we're fine. [But] If you really don't shop with us, then we're definitely not going to survive."
Please read this before assuming it's contents are unimportant.
I have a community building, sustainable idea that can benefit all of mankind. I have already started to give this idea away, mostly anonymously. I do not want to become known or famous in any way whatsoever. I believe that this idea can benefit any one who is able to see beyond their own self and realize that we are one.
What do I want? I want to give this idea to any one who is interested. I am not asking for money. I am not asking for rights (I already have them) This concept is simple, will generate enough money to support itself and whatever the community needs, at least in theory. I haven't put it into practice, yet. It is being worked on daily.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up for an upcoming "Celebration" event.
Celebration Disney Liquidation Sale - Celebration holds "Disney Liquidation" events throughout the year where they sell different Disney merchandise up to 70% off. At past events I have seen parts of the disney toy monorail set, child suitcases, various clothes from parks, hotels, and rides, scrapbooking stuff, hats, collectables, and lots of other things. Some of it isn't even disney stuff (like stuff from the sand and beach stores!)
This is:
Friday, April 21 from 6-9pm
Saturday, April 22 from 8am-8pm
Sunday, April 23 from 10am-2pm
It is held in the Celebration K-8 school gym and is open to the public. They normally have slightly different merchandise each day with the best stuff on friday night or saturday morning. If you need directions, PM me or if you have any questions, as I've gone to a couple of them. :-)
Great American Pie Festival
Also that weekend is the great american pie festival held in Celebration on Market Street. The pie festival features different contests along with a pie buffet with all you can eat pie!
It is:
$8 for adults, $6 for 65/older, $4 for 3-10 years old
That is held that Saturday and sunday at:
Saturday April 22nd from 11am-7pm
Sunday April 23rd from 12pm-5pm
Again, any questions or anything feel free to ask, I've been there two years. I hope some of you can attend. Both events are really exciting and a lot of fun!

This is the layout we have come up with for my remodel. (it is basically the same layout that is already there with some very small tweaks...such as size of island) I find that I do most everything, prepping, baking, etc, on the counter between the cook top and the sink. My kitchenaid mixer is kept in that corner and it seems to work. The only problem I find with this layout is that the 66" of counter to the right of my sink doesn't get used much for anything and I find it to be such a waste. Does anyone see any ways I could improve upon the plans?? Thx:) |

I also prep/cook between my sink/cooktop, so w/ your layout, 1. I would shift the sink to the right, allowing more countertop to the left of the sink. yes, the sink will not be centered, but you can center the faucet w/ the window and no one will notice. 2. W/ the 36" sink base, I put the trash on 1 side (18"). 3. I would put another trash/recycling in the desk area. 4. I would make the upper corner cabinet into a 90degree cabinet, so that you wouldn't have a cabinet in your face, since you prep in that area (between cooktop/sink) a lot. good luck, |
1 more. Microwave: put the MW next to fridge on top of 1 oven, while putting the 2nd oven where you have for MW in island. I don't bake as much, so I don't see the need for the 2nd oven all the time. hard to read your layout. could you make the fridge recess area wider, to allow for even just 12inches of landing space? just ideas. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Mon, Sep 9, 13 at 13:49
Where do you keep your dirty dishes? That would be my 'pots and pans' area, when I'm cooking and baking. Right above the dishwasher, until I can load them. I always seem to have more dishes that room in the dishwasher (especially when I bake cookies/cakes) so I need a dirty dish area. I also don't like to fill up my sink. |
You said that the 66" isn't used much at all. Do you use the counterspace to the right of the dishwasher for clearing dishes from table before they go in to be washed? If not, what if the upper cabinet comes down to meet the counter? Easier to put dishes away, and if you add a drawer between the counter and cabinet door, then if something is on the counter you can still open the door, and to store things like napkins, or the corn picks, iced tea spoons, and steak knives you don't use every meal. |

Wow...good suggestions! Amanda, my appliances are already purchased and sitting in my garage (long story!), so there's no changing them!! My fridge is 36" counter depth. There will be a double oven next to that (and I bake a lot!!) and then a 15" counter (landing) next to the ovens. Sometimes I set things there when I first take them out of the oven, but usually I take them over and set them on the cooktop. bpathome, I love the idea of taking the cabinets down to the counter. I could certainly fill them!! The only problem I would encounter is that I have a flat screen TV under those cabinets, kind of pushed up against the backsplash. I suppose I could relocate the TV. I could put one above the fireplace, but I'm afraid the sound would compete with the family room TV on the other side of the fireplace (it's a two sided fireplace which faces the family room on the other side). Solving one problem always creates another! Ugh!! |

Ask anyone who has been at it awhile, and they'll tell you the secret to a successful marriage is keeping it real. It doesn't get more real than The Lower Keys and Big Pine Key. From our pristine waters to the spectacular Great Heron National Wildlife, this kind of natural beauty doesn't exist anywhere else, and it's a beautiful spot for your Lower Keys wedding.
The fishing here is outstanding, especially in our huge backcountry. So is the kayaking and canoeing of the inland waters of Watson's Hammock, an activity that can be enjoyed by your entire wedding party. If you want to find out what a gorgeous beach is really all about, visit Bahia Honda State park, full of camping areas, cabins, marinas and picnic grounds.
The Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge is home to several hundred miniature deer. If you want to see them, the best times are early morning and dusk. Don't forget your camera – this is an experience you'll want to capture on film.
Put on your scuba gear and explore the incredible artificial reefs of the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, named after the HMS Looe which ran aground here in 1744. Feel free to marvel at the towering reefs that nearly break through the ocean's surface, but please remember not to touch them. They're protected for generations to come.
For more information on Big Pine Key and The Lower Keys, visit The Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce at mile marker 31. Or simply dial 1-800-USA-ESCAPE. You can also e-mail us at email@example.com and visit our website fla-keys.com/lowerkeys
Dive or snorkel among stunning coral reefs, shipwrecks and a huge population of tropical marine life.
Cruise the shallow waters looking for barracuda, or observe miniature Key Deer roaming the Lower Keys.
Try a wide variety of fishing options, from the shallow channels between the islands to the depths of the Gulfstream.
Drift off to sleep in high-end resorts, traditional conch houses or beach front campgrounds.
With names like Tiny Little Duck Key and No Name Key, the Lower Keys are full of islands with distinct personalities.
