@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents
When I was young and watching World Class Championship Wrestling, I remember very vividly a mountain of a man hailing from Halsted Street in Chicago. He had a mohawk with skull tattoos on either side of his head. He wore black ring attire with skulls on the shoulders, a denim vest, and a long chain. He was the One Man Gang.
Gang was a member of Skandar Akbar's Devastation Incorporated as well as Gary Hart's dynasty. At more than 400 pounds, he squashed many of his competitors. But it wasn't always a walk in the park for him. I remember his struggles against my favorites, like Kerry Von Erich (who slammed the big man and pinned him in order to shave Gary Hart's head) and King Kong Bruiser Brody. As you might imagine, a huge brawl ensued between the two beasts.
Gang eventually moved on to the UWF and picked up that company's heavyweight title. He had classic matches with the likes of Terry Gordy and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Once he prepared to jump ship and head north to the WWF, Gang dropped the title to Big Bubba Rogers (his future tag team partner in the Twin Towers).
The Gang in the WWF

Gang fit in immediately in the WWF. He was a mammoth among men. It didn't take long for him to get a shot at Hulk Hogan's WWF title. Although he came up short, I was impressed that someone from little ol' WCCW was hanging with the best the WWF had to offer. He squashed "Superstar" Billy Graham, forcing him to retire. Gang also feuded with Don Muraco and earned a spot in the WWF Title Tournament at Wrestlemania IV. He was disqualified in his match against the eventual winner "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
With Slick by his side, One Man Gang seemed nearly unstoppable. But in the fall of 1988, he underwent an awkward transformation and became known as Akeem the African Dream. I'll share about my thoughts on that in a future post.
Gang & Sullivan 1991

Today, I wanted to focus on the beast known as the OMG, who eventually resurfaced again after his WWF tenure ended. In WCW he and Kevin Sullivan ran rough shot over the competition. This was a throwback to the Gang of old, the joke of Akeem was long in the past. Even though that tenure didn't last long, OMG did return again in 1995 and won the U.S. Title. He held it for a short time before dropping it to Konnan.
Gang has made sporadic appearances since then, including a mark out moment for me when he teamed with Demolition at Chikara's King of Trios tournament in 2008. Even though they didn't make it out of the first round, it was great to see some blasts from the past join forces in the wacky world of Chikara.

Orient Express checks out of Australian market
PUBLISHED: 23 Aug 2012 00:46:04 | UPDATED: 24 Aug 2012 00:03:51PUBLISHED: 24 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 24 Aug 2012Tansy Harcourt
Nothing encapsulates the shift of global wealth quite so neatly as the sale of Sydney's former Observatory Hotel by Orient Express Hotels to Hong Kong's Langham Hospitality Group.
The Europe and US-focused Orient Express handed over the keys to the harbour-side hotel to Langham – owned by Hong Kong-based Great Eagle Group – in early August. It was further evidence that as the flow of funds dries up in the northern hemisphere, the money flow from Asia remains relatively unaffected. It's worth thinking about for a moment. Orient Express is one of the most prestigious hotel and rail brands in the world but it is considered short on capital.
Langham is less well known but it has that all important thing in 2012 – cash, or access to it. Langham Hospitality Group chief executive Brett Butcher says the Australian tourism market is about to grow exponentially and it's the right time to buy a hotel.
"We have a bullish view on the Australian tourism market. We want to bring in some of the things we can do better than most."
On his list of things that he believes Langham does very well are its product, spas and customer service. That includes giving the resources to the team to spend time with customers.
"Hotels are sometimes run by numbers rather than service. If you get that – the service – first, then you can charge the rates that cover that extra cost. It's a bit of a chicken and an egg thing," Butcher says.
The Hong Kong company is believed to have paid roughly $40 million for the former Observatory Hotel, and Butcher says it is planning to upgrade the soft furnishings in the hotel rooms and redevelop the lobby, lounge and dining areas to revitalise the space. "They really did build this hotel very well," Butcher says.
The five-star hotel's Georgian architecture is reminiscent of a grand 19th-century home and has about 100 rooms. The renovation work is expected to take about a year to complete.
Included in the hotel deal was the acquisition of the largest private collection of Sidney Nolan artwork (valued at $250,000 five years ago), which had been purchased by the Observatory Hotel at the request of the Orient Express founder and known Nolan admirer, James Sherwood.
The purchase adds to the group's 13-strong portfolio of international hotels managed under its Langham and Langham Place brands. The group already has a hotel in Melbourne and also owns hotels in Asia, Europe and the United States.
Butcher says apart from the purchase of the former Observatory as its newly branded Langham Hotel, the group is also considering introducing a Langham Place hotel into the Sydney market if the right property or space can be found.
Langham Place hotels have a more contemporary feel than the Langham hotels.
The sale marks the end of the Orient Express' business interests in Australia.
The group entered the Australian market in late 1999, when it paid more than $60 million for the Observatory Hotel and the Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort and Spa from Japan's Nara Corporation. In late 2009, a group of investors led by George Saad bought Lilianfels for $21 million.

Revo Uninstaller 1,93 opiniones de usuarios
Una nueva versión de Revo Uninstaller es disponible.
O, aprender más sobre Revo UninstallerMagnífica
de los 2.057 comentarios de los usuarios
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
this works great
this works great
its free and it works great! :)
"Works Great"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
Uninstalls apps that I could not budge with a lb of C4.
Easy to use
Much more thorough than Windows Control Panel uninstall
Cleans registry
Cleans up missed uninstall filesCons
Tries to install unwanted apps during the install process - just watch the screen and uncheck what you do not want.
Sure it tries to install other apps - Who do you think pays the freight for this free app?
Real tough uninstalls required me to run the program twice to get rid of everything.Summary
Best uninstaller I have found. Better than Windows Uninstaller. It finds unused files as well.
"It tries to install too much junk"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
Got tired of unchecking the garbage it wanted to install. Didn't install it.
After I unchecked the toolbar it wanted to install, then unchecked another program it wanted to install, then I saw that Pontoon was going to be put on my computer (that didn't look good on a search) I stopped installing this program.
When c'net or whoever stops putting all the garbage addons, maybe I'll try here again.
"Got rid of a annoying program!!!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
Easy to use!!!
none at all!!
Got rid of an annoying program called optimizer pro that was causing pure hell on my PC!!!
"Great application!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
removes all stubborn softwares and cleans your registry as well.
none,it's a very good application
It is an excellent software.
"Very thorough."
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
Used Uninstall,..Force Uninstall,..and search by browse,..all worked.
There were none.
It proved to be a very good program,..apart from the Uninstall,..Force Uninstall,..Remove,..it gives the ability to Browse through "My Computer"/C.Drive or others,..select the offending program,..click on this and Revo copies the File Name for Uninstall.
"Thanks so much! it is very good. fast and corect"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
fast, corect, remove all regedit and everything that store in program file direct.
start up is slow, scan all soft is not very strong.
"Does what it says it will."
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
One can select how deep Revo will look for traces of an uninstalled application. The Hunter mode is a fast select to uninstall a running program. Say you run an application and find you don't need it anymore, just slide the Hunter Mode Icon onto it and uninstall without having to shut it down or opening the Revo Uninstall page or of course "Programs Files" in the Control Panel.
I haven't figured any. A lovely piece of soft-ware.
Makes sense to have, specially for those of us who like to experiment with applications. an uncluttered system is a faster system. Of course regular cleaning and de-frag is essential too. thanks to the people who created this and have offered it free. Most grateful friends !
"Thorough uninstall, including garbage left in Registry!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
Thorough uninstall, including garbage left in Registry!
List builds slower than I'd like to see... that's really it!
"Awesome. nearly perfect"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.93
Nearly paid 34.95 for a program offering the same service out of pure frustration.
this program is quick, effective and user friendly.
I would love to donate to great code like this!Cons
none. This program uninstalled the most stubborn corrupt program for me with absolutely no trouble at all.
Perfect for uninstalling hard to remove programs

Great price and quality ... I would recommend this highly as a lens saver
You should have one of these for each lens. It's cheaper to replace a scratched filter than to replace a scratched lens. Great product, great price!
Very nice filter for the price. These UV filters are often just used for lens protection, which I bought it for, and works as it should for that purpose. I have several Zeikos products for my cameras, and they seem to be of good to excellent quality and no problems.
I was looking for a filter to protect my new lens. This item performs that job, with good quality at a nice price. Threaded onto lens quite smoothly.
Decent quality; Fast shipping; Very satisfied. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz THERE'S YOUR FIFTY CHARACTERS!!! :-(.

So, I recently found out I love roam heavy high burst champs... Eve in particular has been a lot of fun. I haven't theory crafted much for her S3 builds,can anyone give me some info? Is this going to buff or nerd her in conjunction to others? I guess I'm up for suggestions on other heavy roaming burst champs, too? Inb4Ahri.
Lol@ grammar.. Laggy iPhone =\= fun to type on.
Talon, not ap, but a strong and bursty mid lane roamer who is great with the new black cleaver/ sword of the divine. You should be building him almost full glass cannon, relying on life steal from 3 bt's to keep you alive after bursting down a carry. Lategame, he doesn't need the second half of his ult to kill someone.
Here is my usual build, end game build AP but with two exceptions. Malady and manamune. Combined with your e and damage from your q your sustained damage combined with the already decent AD you get from it, will allow for so much damage while still allowing for DFG RDC and LB to round off into end game. Though I have to say the active on the upgraded manamune makes her incredibly deadly to everything. 130 magic damage a hit with it, + malady + ad from manamune + amplified damage from DFG + LB procs from q = one hell of a DPS.

Mortal Fire
Author: Elizabeth Knox
Series: ---
Release Date: 11 June 2013
Sixteen-year-old Canny Mochrie's vacation takes a turn when she stumbles upon a mysterious and enchanting valley, occupied almost entirely by children who can perform a special type of magic that tells things how to be stronger and better than they already are. As Canny studies the magic more carefully, she realizes that she not only understands it--she can perform the magic, too, so well that it feels like it has always been a part of her. With the help of an alluring seventeen-year-old boy who is held hostage by a spell that is now more powerful than the people who first placed it, Canny figures out the secrets of this valley and of her own past.
This is hitting on all of my favorite things - it's a fantasy (albeit a light fantasy); it looks like it's a stand alone; we have magic!; Canny the one who has to rescue a cutie instead of playing the damsel in distress -- it looks great all around.
And that cover! Oh, that cover!
What do you guys think?

Program Description
This program provides technical assistance to agricultural producers to complete a Long-Term Water Management Plan (LTWMP), and shares the cost of related enhancements of their on-farm water supply management.
The Growing Forward 2 On-Farm Water Management Program (2013-2018) addresses two key industry priorities.
Producers, corporations and not-for-profit organizations with an active agricultural business in Alberta and a minimum of $10,000 of farm commodity production income are eligible. An eligible on-farm water project can be located on private land, rented land, and certain types of Crown land subject to prior written approval from the landowner.
All participants must have completed a Long-Term Water Management Plan (new or amended) and have it approved by an ARD Water Specialist before starting a water project for their application to be considered eligible. LTWMPs that were approved during GF1 are still valid if they are accurate and identify the eligible water project you are interested in completing.
Available Funding The On-Farm Water Management Program shares costs relating to enhancements of a producer's on-farm water supply management, arising from a Long-Term Water Management Plan (LTWMP). These eligible costs are offered through Standard and Special Incentive projects described in detail in the On-Farm Water Management Program factsheet.

ISBE wants schools fully funded; Quinn wants cuts
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • April 4, 2013 • News
The governor and the Illinois School Board of Education have released their proposals for the 2014 education budget, and they are not on the same page.
While the governor wants another reduction, the board wants schools to be fully funded to recommended levels for the first time in three years.
Chris Koch, state superintendent of education says the state also has an Illinois a constitutional provision for funding K-12 education, which educators don't feel is being met. He says they have been very vocal about that this year more than ever, in part because they are hearing so much about the constitutional protections of pensions. And they wanted to bring to mind that article x also talks about how the state is supposed to adequately fund K-12 education.
Koch said changes should be made to the formula used to fund education because it relies heavily on property taxes and has complexities that can be hard to understand. Koch also said if something isn't done, there will be school closings across the state.
He says the state school board has already had two districts go to them and say they can't make payroll by the end of the school year.
He says there are school districts that have proposed four-day school weeks. And districts that have proposed shorter school days.

Merger & Acquisition Outlook for the Manufacturing & Distribution Industry in 2010
Author: Tony Giordano
General Market & Manufacturing & Distribution Market Trends
- U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) surged in the last three months of 2009, rising 5.7 percent on an annualized basis. The economy has now grown two quarters in a row, with the fourth quarter providing the best growth in more than six years.
- Fourth quarter GDP was driven by acceleration in inventory investments and non-residential fixed investments as well as a 2 percent increase in real personal consumption expenditures.
- The Institute for Supply Management manufacturing index has risen 13 of the last 15 months through March 2010, showing a strong positive trend since bottoming in December 2008. New orders, an indication of future growth, have been strong, recording a reading above 60 three out of the past four months (50 is the threshold between expansion and contraction).
- Capex is likely to grow by spring 2010. Historically, economists have seen a nine-month lag between troughs in capacity utilization and the inflection to positive year-over-year growth in capital spending. If current trends mirror past recovery, capital spending could increase year-over-year by spring 2010.
- Uncertainty in several sectors, including employment, housing, consumer spending and interest rates, as well as the unwinding of global stimulus programs and multiple sovereign credit issues, continue to cause experts to question the sustainability of the recovery. Many of the nation's supply executives in the March 2010 Manufacturing Institute for Supply Management Report on Business® indicated economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in March for the eighth consecutive month.
Total U.S. Middle Market & Manufacturing & Distribution Merger & Acquisition (M&A) Activity
- Total middle market disclosed M&A (>$750 million) transactions declined from 4,715 in 2008 to 3,990 in 2009 (-18.1 percent) with deal value down from $356 billion to $232 billion (-53.5 percent). M&A markets have demonstrated improvement through February 2010 as both transactions and deal value were up 22.8 percent and 46.4 percent, respectively, when compared to the same period ended February 2009.
- U.S. enterprise value (EV)/earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) middle-market valuation multiples declined from 8.2x to 7.1x, reflecting the uncertain economic outlook, tight credit markets, volatile equity markets and reduced competition between strategic and financial buyers. Larger transactions demanded higher multiples ($250M to $750M—8.1x, $50M to $250M—7.7x, <$50M—5.3x), while approximately 75 percent of all transactions closed were less than $50 million. These multiples have all increased in recent months. For the trailing 12-month period ended February 2010, market multiples increased from 7.1x to 7.5x. Larger transactions continue to demand higher multiples but all segments have increased ($250M to $750M—8.9x, $50M to $250M—7.9x, <$50M—5.7x).
- Total manufacturing and distribution* middle-market M&A (>$750 million) transactions declined from 460 in 2008 to 329 in 2009, with deal value down nearly 50 percent from prior year levels. EV/EBITDA multiple for this period remained relatively flat, declining from 8.75x to 8.2x. Manufacturing and distribution sectors have seen improvement through February 2010 as both transactions and deal value are up 23.4 percent and 49.5 percent, respectively, when compared to the same period ended February 2009.
- According to Capital IQ, U.S. Manufacturing*, M&A activity has increased in the last two quarters with strategic buyers accounting for approximately 95 percent of closed transactions. These trends have continued in the first quarter of 2010.
- U.S. private equity deal flow for 2009 was down 50 percent from 2008 but seems to have turned a corner in the fourth quarter. Quarterly deal flow increased for the first time in a year, and total capital invested recorded the highest quarterly total of the year at $15.3 billion. For the majority of the year, investors focused on their portfolio companies and how to survive the market downturn. Approximately 90 percent of completed deals were under $500 million in transaction value, with deals under $50 million representing approximately 60 percent of all completed transactions. Momentum from the fourth quarter of 2009 has continued into 2010 as many private equity firms report a significant increase in deal flow. This would suggest private equity closed transactions should begin to see an uptick beginning in the second quarter or early third quarter of 2010.
- Tight credit markets affected private equity deals as the average middle-market leveraged buyout total debt multiple (total debt/EBITDA) for transactions by companies with less than $50 million in EBITDA declined from 4.4x to 3.4x, with senior debt/EBITDA at approximately 3.0x at year-end. For companies with more than $50 million in EBITDA, total debt multiples increased in the later part of the year, ending the year at 4.8x with the senior debt/EBITDA multiple at 3.9x. For the trailing 12-month period ended February 2010, both segments of the credit market have seen an increase in both total debt and senior debt multiples. Because of a continued slow market for the syndication market, transactions with less than $50 million in debt continue to be more feasible as they can be financed with a single lender or "club" financing. As a result of the tight credit markets, private equity contribution in 2009 exceeded 50 percent of total capital, up from levels in the low- to mid-30 percent range in 2007.
Trends for 2010 M&A Activity
- Overall, we expect to see increased M&A activity inthe general M&A marketas well as the manufacturing and distribution industry sector in 2010.
- With an estimated $400 billion overhang in the private equity market, a great deal of committed capital needs to be deployed. Although there will continue to be focus on the operations of existing portfolio companies, we expect to see a higher emphasis on strategic add-on acquisitions and new platform company investments.
- S&P 500 companies have an estimated $428 billion in excess cash on corporate balance sheets. This is a result of caution by businesses following the deep recession. As there is improved visibility in the economic recovery, we expect companies to invest in capital spending and M&A, both positive signs for the manufacturing and distribution industry.
- Legislation out of Washington will be critical to the economic and M&A activity with respect to corporate tax rates, capital gains, health care, etc.
- For manufacturing and distribution businesses that have survived the difficult economic environment of the past 18 months, we see strategic options once again available, whether seeking growth capital, executing an acquisition strategy, recapitalizing your business or considering a sale of your company.

Center Aziz N'Diaye has greatly improved his offense this season, averaging 11.1 points per game.
In Senegal, a nation of nearly 13 million people that covers slightly less land than South Dakota, located on Africa's western tip, where the average yearly per capita income is less than $2,000 and America is still the land of opportunity, basketball is an escape.
Each year, a handful of the best youth players in the country travel to the SEEDS Academy, a preparatory school in the city of Thies. The academy offers free schooling, free room and board, free basketball instruction, and three square meals a day. The best of its alumni earn scholarships and travel to attend prep school in the United States. The very best go even further — they earn scholarships to play basketball at American universities, putting them among the 5 percent of Senegalese citizens who attend college.
In the 67-year history of the NBA, only eight natives of Senegal have played so much as a single game at the sport's highest level. Washington center Aziz N'Diaye wants to be the ninth.
• • •
As a boy growing up in Dakar, Senegal, a port city located on a promontory that juts out from continental Africa into the Atlantic Ocean, N'Diaye was a soccer player like many of the country's children. But N'Diaye's body grew at a rate very unlike the other children. At 14, he made a choice.
"As soon as I started getting taller," N'Diaye said, "I've been more focused on dribbling the ball than kicking a soccer ball."
From then until the end of high school, N'Diaye dedicated himself to getting away from the country he called home. He attended the SEEDS Academy, where he grew into a defensive menace and a serious basketball prospect. In 2007, he left Dakar for a prep school in Lake Forest, Ill., some 4,500 miles away.
After a season in Lake Forest, N'Diaye enrolled at the College of Southern Idaho where he missed one season with an injury before finally taking the court as a college basketball player. After his freshman season in Idaho, and after drawing interest from schools such as Colorado and Oklahoma, N'Diaye transferred to the UW.
He was raw, his relatively short history of organized basketball often apparent. But even though N'Diaye was behind in terms of basketball skill, he was often able to make up for it with pure size and athleticism.
"We recruited him from a rebounding standpoint and kind of controlling the paint," said Paul Fortier, currently the UW's director of player personnel and formerly an assistant coach who worked closely with N'Diaye and the rest of the team's post players. "But with the way he ran, when we were up-tempo … we [could] drop it off to him and he [could] finish with the dunk."
He started 25 games as a sophomore but was still a role player, scoring 4.6 points and grabbing 5.7 rebounds in less than 18 minutes per outing. He blocked plenty of shots and intimidated plenty of opponents but often struggled to so much as catch an entry pass, turn, and get a shot off without losing the ball.
N'Diaye was a force at one end but nonexistent at the other.
In the meantime, he was also trying to acclimate to the UW's rigorous academic curriculum. English is N'Diaye's fourth language (his first was French), and the adjustment to speaking it full time was still in progress. In fact, Fortier, who played professionally in France, sometimes lapsed into that language to explain the finer points of a play or defensive rotation to N'Diaye.
"When I came here, in my transfer year, I just wanted to get used to the system, learning the defense, learning how the team needs you on the court and off the court," N'Diaye said. "Off the court, in school, it was the same thing, just taking the right classes, being aware of keeping things in balance. But after I got comfortable, things became easier."
That's become apparent this season, when N'Diaye has achieved previously unimaginable levels of offensive efficiency and output. He's the UW's fourth-leading scorer, putting up 11.1 points per game and has shot a sky-high 63.6 percent to do it.
He's scored most of those points with a move as old as basketball: the hook shot. From the time he arrived on Montlake, Fortier said it's been a priority for N'Diaye to establish the shot as his go-to move.
"Him being a late player of basketball, we wanted to hone in on one move," Fortier said. "Because with his height, once he gets the ball up there, it's not going to get blocked."
In addition to his increased offense, N'Diaye has maintained his usual prowess on the defensive end where he's often played as the Huskies' sole traditional post player and is averaging 9.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.
Scouts think N'Diaye, who last spring completed his degree in American ethnic studies, could be a fringe second-round pick in next June's NBA draft.
"He's close to being our most consistent player," head coach Lorenzo Romar said. "I don't know if he is, but he's somewhere around the top."
• • •
Every four years, the NCAA permits a college basketball team to go on a foreign tour. It gives teams a chance to see the world, develop bonds, and play exhibition games against pros from other parts of the world. Last summer, the UW's time to travel was due. After departing Seattle on Aug. 25 and making stops in France, Spain, and Monaco, the Huskies landed in Dakar.
Shortly thereafter, the Huskies witnessed something Fortier says he will remember forever.
"[N'Diaye] saw his family was there waiting at the hotel for him: his mom, his sister, his nephews, and family. He hadn't seen them in like three years," Fortier said. "And I think our guys take those things for granted. It brought a tear to my eye, just seeing the love they had among themselves."
It was, of course, an equally powerful moment for N'Diaye.
"Obviously, my favorite part was going back home and seeing my family," he said. "That was a great feeling, seeing them and hanging out and spending extra time at home catching up with family; that was a blessing to have."
N'Diaye showed his teammates his hometown, the streets where he grew up, the house where he was raised. He even stayed an extra 10 days in Dakar after the rest of the Huskies returned stateside before making the return flight himself.
"It's always hard to leave home," N'Diaye said. "But at the same time, you think, you have another life here. You have to go take care of business."
N'Diaye spent much of his life trying to get out of Senegal, to come to America and chase his dreams of prosperity and professional basketball. Now, with those dreams so close to becoming a reality, it feels so good to be back home.

Research Interests
I have three preliminary research questions that I would like to pursue from a workforce creation perspective: (1) Does a climate change education emphasis in current science curricula improve the pursuit of Geo Science STEM fields by minorities?, (2) How does the use of Geographic Information Science impact STEM education?, and (3) From a public policy standpoint, is the combination of Geographic Information Science and Climate Change beneficial at a pre-college level to enhance established STEM education goals? In sum, the main question is: Are these programs making a difference? And to whom?

I am still finding my sea legs in the world of appreciating audio books.
I came late to the table on this new-fangled phenomenon, but that's pretty much par for the course for me. Now that I've finally mastered the art of burning a song to a CD...music has long since evolved to being played on an iPod. I'm an author, and I have yet to buy an e-reader. And so it goes.
At long last, though, I have joined the ranks of folks who listen to books on CD as they drive around. And I've turned out to be far, far more finicky than I had ever foreseen!
I had put off this notion for many years, while friends who knew that I drive on average between 30,000 and 40,000 miles a year shook their heads at my stubborness. Lord knows, I had TRIED to make some use of my driving time before this--trying to learn French, Spanish and German at various times--but it just didn't take. And since I was a child, I have found JOY in the physical act of reading.
All that changed, unfortunately, when I aged into trifocals and the act of reading at the end of a long day of eye-strain at the office morphed from relaxation to irritation. And so I finally sucked it up, went to the library and got a replacement for the library card I had long misplaced, and started to cruise the catalog.
I picked "Ivanhoe" for my maiden voyage, and was not disappointed. The narrator was some guy who sounded quite suitably British through and through, and did a very creditable job of channeling the heartiness of Robin Hood, the sinuous immorality of Brian de Bois Guilbert, the intractable inflexibility of Cedric, Ivanhoe's father, and even the crazed and vengeful hag, Ulrica who memorably brought down a castle under siege by setting fire to the fuel magazine. Not bad!! I was off and running, and imagined the next hundred thousand miles to be an unbroken stream of mental stimulation.
The next book I picked was a similar delight, but for a host of other reasons. I had ordered up the audio version of Frank Delaney's historical novel, "Tipperary," as a crash course in conversation before meeting the author at an upcoming literary event in Chicago where we were both going to be speaking. I knew nothing about the book beforehand, but had learned that Delaney originally hailed from County Tipperary, which was my own ancestral seat. When the audio set arrived, it turned out that Delaney also narrated his own work. I was mesmerized by the story, entranced by the history lesson running parallel my own roots and featuring scenes set in places that I had visited, and swept away by the author's rich voice. Okay, I confess, I could listen to Frank Delaney read names from the phone book for an hour and consider myself lucky. Sigh...
I followed "Tipperary" with another of Delaney's historical novels, "Shannon," also fondly and skillfully read by its creator with a marvelous Irish brogue. The miles sped by, roughly one CD per leg of my trip to and from the courthouse where I work, the same red-tailed hawks watching from trees and fenceposts along the interstate but my mind traversing emerald fields and gravel roads and ocean away. And then, thoroughly steeped in images and memories of Old Erin, I changed course and stepped into modernity.
That's where I hit a snag. Recognizing that not every narrator matches up with the voice inside a reader's head, I'm going to skip the next book titles so as not to offend. But let's just say that the first novel I picked was the latest in my favorite series of suspense novels featuring an ex-military hero who is large, steadfast, testosterone-overloaded, smart, resourceful, precise and lethal. And I could not envision the highly-recommended award-winning narrator describing the first scene through my hero's eyes in a military uniform for any reason ever, even as a lowly file clerk in a windowless basement. I ejected the first CD after ten minutes, and spent the rest of the driving listening to "classic rock" and trying to erase the narrator's image from my mental data base.
The next audio foray was a ghostly suspense story by a best-selling novelist whose work I greatly admired. The story was voiced by a pair of distinguished actors, and again I felt a disappointing auditory disconnect. Was I being too critical in thinking that the character of a mother crazed with panic at the thought of harm to her children should seem to have more personality than a limp vegan noodle? This time I stuck it out for all eleven CDs, since I really, REALLY wanted to find out how the story ended. And I chided myself often for being just too plain picky.
Third time had to be a charm, I thought, and I forged ahead through my library's catalog. I'm a sucker for a good detective story, especially with a strong female lead, and this time I indulged myself with the debut novel in a long-running and popular series of detective stories. Oh heck, the book was very good, and so I'll even admit here that it was "Deja Dead," the first book by Kathy Reichs, whose forensic anthropologist heroine Temperance Brennan spawned the hit TV series, "Bones," a favorite of mine. And darned it I didn't hit another bump in the road.
This time, I discovered that when it comes to body parts being sliced up and pain being inflicted and maggots dropping to the floor and blood spiurting everywhere...I'd rather skim through those parts at the speed of light on the printed page rather than have every bloody detail imprinted slowly and deliberately on my consciousness. Who knew?? Again, I made to the end of the audio book...but I'll be taking the next book in the series out on paper.
And yet, just as I nearly overcome with vexation and impatience, on this morning's drive I inserted the first CD of Amy Tan's 2001 novel "The Bonesetter's Daughter." And almost instantly I was swept away, nearly giddy with delight at feelng myself being drawn into a story with an almost tidal pull...and which seemed to have just that much more authenticity by being read in part by the woman who created it.
This is still a new adventure for me, as I sort through what types of books will hold my interest over the miles, and make a short list of what narrators will kill a book for me right out of the gate. But one thing's for certain. I'm back to enjoying the world of books and imagery and imagination and great story lines...and I'm really glad to be there!

californian cherries
I joined in with the made in cherry quilt along over on Chelsea's blog. Mainly because I loved the pattern from the moment I saw it at quilt market this fall, and also because Sarah Fielke designed it, and I love her to bits. The original pattern is for an 80" square quilt, but Chelsea has resized it so you can make a 90" or a 60" if you fancied making something bigger or smaller. I'm going smaller, there are already way too many big quilts in this house. For the 60" size you need 8 fat quarters of fabric. Oh, how very handy that I'd just picked a summery selection of 8 fat quarters for a Fat Quarterly bundle in Lola Pink Fabrics' store. In fact, I'd picked the bundle just before I saw the quilt along, and I knew that they'd be perfect for this project. The girls at Lola Pink mailed them over to me and I started cutting. Then I started piecing. The quilt so far took me half a day. So it's great for a nice easy weekend project. It comes together so beautifully, and so easily. Just squares and a few triangles for the edges of the star points. Now I'll cut my background (I'm using a white klona cotton from Alice's shop) and hopefully by the end of the day this baby will be ready for quilting (myself- it's only small, I can handle this size without crying too much).
Oh look - it's ready for quilting!!! That was fast. Actually it was fast - this came together so easily. I know I said that already, but it really does.
I'm re-naming my quilt Californian Cherries - the zingy colours remind me of the sunny skies in California. Sipping a cocktail by the roof pool in some ultra hip hotel in LA. I did that once. But actually I had iced tea, not a cocktail, because I'm really not very rock n roll.
You can get your own Fat Quarterly 'Californian Cherries' bundle from here from next week (I'll let you know when it's in the shop) I think the girls are going to kit it too so you can make your own Made in Cherry quilt like this one, if you wanted to of course, I'm not even going to pretend you should make one just because I did, but you should make one because it's so fun to put together and so easy (did I mention that already?) and just so lovely!

Very nice! Such bright, springy colors!
Now I have to ask, how often are you ironing seams as you piece? I feel like the ironing process slows me down quite a bit. I just don't see myself being able to sew/iron all these patches in just half a day. Maybe I should also turn off the tv? :) - 23 January 2012 at 02:13

Overview of the Data Presented...
The redistricting plan approved by the BISD Trustees on May 31, 2012, Plan 5F, is presented here. This plan is being submitted to the Department of Justice and, when approved, will be used when the next BISD elections are held in spring 2013.
Also presented here is what the Department of Justice refers to as the "Benchmark." The Benchmark is produced by applying data from the 2010 Census to the current district boundaries.
Note that there are five files for both the proposed plan and the Benchmark.
There are two map files. The map files with names containing "8x11" are formatted for standard 8.5" x 11" paper; the map files with the designation "36x48" are formatted for 36"x 48" printers. Note that the Benchmark is based on the precinct map used in the last BISD election. The plan approved by the BISD Trustees is based on the precinct map adopted by Jefferson County in spring, 2012.
There are three sets of data files. The first of these, labeled "Plan Statistics," contains data used to confirm the plans conformity with the one-man-one vote doctrine. These data include the number of persons in the "ideal" district, the number of persons in each of the actual districts, the difference between the ideal and the actual, and the computation of the index (called the Relative Overall Range) used by the Department of Justice to see if the plan meets their standard. Plans with Relative Overall Ranges below 10.0 are considered acceptable. Note that these computations are based on the Total Population (rather than the Voting Age Population) of the districts.
The files labeled "District Summaries" contain data regarding the racial/ethnic composition of the districts within each plan. These data are used by the Department of Justice to consider "Retrogression." Note that these data are based on Voting Age Population.

The side effects you have after surgery depend mainly on the extent of your surgery. If the doctor removes a large area of skin during surgery, you may need a skin graft from another part of your body. This helps the wound heal. These are other possible side effects from vulvar surgery.
Discomfort or pain. It is likely you will have some temporary pain after surgery. Also, if you wear tight jeans or slacks, you may feel some discomfort in the genital area. This is because some padding of tissue is now missing.
Sexual changes. Depending upon how much tissue is removed during surgery, you may have some numbness or trouble reaching orgasm. These changes may or may not be temporary.
Genital or leg swelling. This is a side effect of lymph node removal. The fewer lymph nodes removed, the less likely you will have this side effect.
Talk with a doctor or nurse about ways to cope with these side effects.

20.12.2011 / Arts & Culture
A year in history
From the protesters of the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Royal Wedding, from London's riots to the war in Lybia. In other words, a sum up of 2011 through the news that made it to the papers – each of them accurately reconstructed in 3D with Lego bricks.
Behind this brilliant idea are Flickr and British paper The Guardian, which recently published an amusing photogallery soaked in typical English wit ad humour.
And while looking at those little Lego characters playing the roles of Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Steve Jobs and other prominent personalities of our time might make you smile, this succession of meticulous representations also offers something worth reflecting on – like the way epoch-making and shocking events have been piling up in the last 12 months.

The Iron Lady (12A) | Close-Up Film DVD Review
Dir. Phyllida Lloyd, UK/France, 2011, 105 mins
Cast: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent, Olivia Colman
Review by Carol Allen
Many of those who lived through the Thatcher era have strong feelings about the former prime minister. In the late seventies and eighties it was almost heresy among the liberal media to not hate Thatcher, whereas, until they toppled her, most of her fellow Tories worshipped her. So both factions are likely to be critical of the picture of her presented in this film, while director Lloyd and writer Abi Morgan's approach, which goes more for an attempt to get inside the woman rather than a full assessment of her political career, will fail to satisfy students of political history. But taken as a piece of cinematic drama, it works very well.
The structure of film is that of the "memory play", approaching the story through Margaret as a confused old woman to whom her late husband Dennis is a still lively and very chatty presence. Through her conversations with his ghost, we move into flashbacks, which tell her story from her beginnings as the "grocer's daughter from Grantham" who won her way to Oxford university, her battle to establish herself in the world of Conservative politics and her rise to and eventual fall from political power. It is though primarily a personal rather than a political portrait, making no bones about the fact that as a woman Margaret paid a personal price for her power.
Streep is magnificent, particularly as the frail, elderly Margaret, but she gets the character, including in her Iron Lady prime, accurately all the way through. It's an effective impersonation, with the help of some very skilful make up, but it's also a real characterization. She's very moving in her relationship with the dead Dennis (Broadbent). Margaret's upbringing, which gave her that outspoken, down to earth quality, her value system and her "grocer's daughter" approach to economics, all of which were in tune with the self reliance and independence of the old fashioned working class, go some way to explaining her rise to power and this part of her life is well sketched in. So too is her meeting, romance and courtship with the young Dennis and the laid back but sensible support he gives to her ambitions. Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd as the young couple strike me as convincing versions of their older selves, though Roach has been criticized by one of Thatcher's former colleagues for having the wrong colour hair!
One thing the film does very well is acknowledge Thatcher's achievement of making it in a man's world. The scenes of young Margaret fighting the male chauvinism of the Tory establishment and her arrival in the House of Commons, where Airie Neave (Nicholas Farrell), later to become her good friend, is the only one to acknowledge her, make the point very strongly and she's actually rather admirable in her fight first for acceptance and then for power. The film is sympathetic to its subject without being a hagiography. As time goes by we notice the increasing use of the almost royal "we" and the suggestion that after the Falklands, she is starting to go a bit unhinged over Britain's relationship with Europe and the introduction of the poll tax.
There's good support from Broadbent in terms of both character and actor and from Coleman as Margaret's long suffering and patient daughter Carol and some amusing portraits of Thatcher's colleagues – Richard E. Grant as Michael "Tarzan" Heseltine, John Sessions as Edward Heath and Anthony Head as Geoffrey Howe.
If you can put aside your preconceptions of Margaret Thatcher and take this as a piece of drama, it's an entertaining and often rather moving film with a first class central performance from Streep.

The Art of Metalsmithing - How to Forge a Sterling Silver Pendant
The Art of Metalsmithing - How to Forge a Sterling Silver Pendant
A135Sterling silver is a malleable metal, giving silversmiths a large range of metalworking choices.
- Fabrication of the metal, shapes are cut from sheets and wire, constructed into a design and soldered together
- Lost wax casting, the wax original is burnt out during a process in the kiln and replaced with metal
- Forging, metal is hammered into a specific shape
: : : Materials : : :
How to Fabricate a Sterling Silver Pendant
Place the cabochon onto 20-gauge sterling silver sheet, close to the edge to avoid waste. Using a felt-tip marker, draw a line around the perimeter 1/4 inch larger than the cabochon. The line does not need to be perfect as corrections can be made when filing later. |
Insert a 2/0 saw blade into a jeweler's saw frame.
Begin sawing at the edge of the sheet, working toward the outline. Continue sawing out the shape, following the line. Optional open-back design: Draw a line 1/4 inch in from the outer edge of the shape you sawed out. | ||
Insert a drill bit, large enough to fit the saw blade through, into the rotary tool. Mark a hole location near the line and make an indentation for the drill bit to settle into, then drill the hole. Undo the saw blade from one end of the frame, insert the blade through the hole, then connect the blade to the frame. Saw along the line you drew, then remove the cut out shape. Set it aside for use in a future project or to send to a refinery.
Tip: An open back design uses less material and makes for a lighter design overall. This design element also allows you to see the back of the cabochon. |
Place the base on top of the steel tripod's mesh screen. With the bezel centered on the base, place snippets of wire or sheet solder on the inside bottom edge where the bezel meets the base. Using the torch, and working from underneath the tripod, apply heat to the base, bezel and solder. Keep the flame moving to disperse the heat evenly to avoid melting or warping the bezel. As the solder begins to melt, move the torch along the seam of the bezel and the base to evenly distribute the solder. The solder will flow toward the direction of the flame. Make sure the seam is soldered closed. |
Using side-cutting pliers, cut three small pieces of 20-gauge sterling silver wire. Lay the pieces onto a charcoal block and brush with flux. The flux will enhance the shape of the ball created when the wire is heated. Using the torch, heat one piece of wire until it forms into a round ball. Repeat for the other two pieces. |
Carefully place one ball at a time (made in Step 4) along the edge of the base, next to the bezel. Using the torch, heat a ball and the sheet until hot, then with a pick, place medium solder at the edge of the ball until it begins to melt and flow. The balls will have a tendency to move as the flux gets hot and bubbly. Simply reposition by pushing the ball back into place with a titanium pick. Remove the heat as soon as the solder begins to flow to avoid having the solder overflow onto the bezel, sheet or balls. |
Center a jumpring at the top of your design (or make a bail by shaping 18 or 20-gauge wire with a pair of round-nose pliers). Clip the jumpring (or the wire bail) onto one side of a Third Hand and the pendant base onto the other side of the Third Hand. Make sure the two touch but do not overlap. Using the torch, heat both pieces, apply flux and with a titanium pick, add a small piece of solder until it starts to flow. Use enough solder to ensure a strong bond between the bail and pendant base. And remember, a little solder goes a long way (too little solder will not seal the joint properly and too much solder will overflow onto other areas of your pendant base). |
While the piece is still hot, using copper tongs, remove the pendant base and place it into the heated pickling solution in the pickle pot. Let the piece stand for about 15 minutes. Using the copper tongs again, remove the piece from the pickle solution then rinse in water.
With metal shears, cut off as much of the excess sheet as possible on the outside of the bezel (and on the inside if you chose that option). File all raw edges with jeweler's files until they are flush and the pendant base and bezel look like one continuous piece of metal. |
Using the lathe polishing kit, buff the pendant with tripoli to remove small scratches and nicks, then finish with red rouge for a fine, shiny polish.

A VERSATILE MUSICIAN, Josephine van Lier is equally at ease on a baroque cello or a 5 string violoncello piccolo as on their contemporary counterparts, using instruments and bows whose designs, construction and material span over 400 years in origin; from the gut strings of her baroque cello to her 1870 cello and the space-age material of her carbon-fibre cello.
She therefore covers a wide variety of repertoire utilizing the endless possibilities that this range of instruments, string set-ups and bows allow her.

Study at Another Institution
Academic Checklists
Current SU students wishing to study at another institution need to complete the Request to Study at Another Institution form. The form is avilable in the Registrar's Office (HH 120) or can be downloaded from the "registration" section of the Registrar's website.
The form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office PRIOR to enrolling in a course at another institution.
Course descriptions may be required for some courses. Students should carefully follow all instructions on the form in order to gain approval to take the courses. Official transcripts are required upon completion of any courses taken at another institution and should be sent to the Registrar's Office.
Current SU students are limited to the total number of credits that can transfer from another institution. A total of sixty-four credits can transfer from a two-year institution and a combined total of ninety credits can transfer from a four-year institution. Additionally, current SU students are required to complete 30 of their last 37 credits at Salisbury University for residency purposes.
While all students need to go through the official Request to Study process, students taking a course at a Maryland Community College can refer to ARTSYS, an articulation system within Maryland, that shows the transferability of courses from Maryland community colleges to Maryland four year schools.
*******************************Important********************************** If a student receives a grade of D/F in a course and retakes the same course at another institution that D/F grade will remain at Salisbury University. Students cannot repeat the same course at another institution and receive the other institution's grade. If a student does repeat a course at another institution, ONLY the credit will be accepted; the new grade will NOT transfer. Please check with your major department before taking the course elsewhere as some majors do not allow you to repeat a course prevously taken at SU elsewhere.
