Nightlife in San Francisco
San Francisco Nightlife
After hours, business folk and the working class give way to costume-clad partygoers, hippies and hipsters, downtown divas, frat boys, and those who prefer something a little more clothing-optional. Downtown and the Financial District remain pretty serious even after dark, and Nob Hill is staid, though you can't beat views from penthouse lounges, the most famous being the Top of the Mark (Hopkins).
Nearby North Beach is an even better starting point for an evening out.
Always lively, North Beach's options include family-friendly dining spots, historic bars from the city's bohemian past (among them Jack Kerouac's old haunts), and even comedy clubs where stars such as Bill Cosby and Jay Leno cut their teeth. In SoMa there are plenty of places to catch a drink before a Giants game and brewpubs to celebrate in afterward. SoMa also hosts some of the hottest dance clubs, along with some saucy gay bars. While Union Square can be a bit trendy, even the swanky establishments have loosened things up in recent years.
Heading west to Hayes Valley, a more sophisticated crowd dabbles in the burgeoning "culinary cocktail movement." Up-and-coming singles gravitate north of here to Cow Hollow and the Marina. Polk Street was the gay mecca before the Castro and still hosts some wild bars, but things get downright outlandish in the Castro district. Indie hipsters of all persuasions populate the Mission and Haight districts by night. Keep in mind, though, that some of the best times San Francisco has to offer can be found off the beaten path. And a good party can still be found in even the sleepiest of neighborhoods, such as Bernal Heights and Dogpatch.

Hi: 9° Lo:-1°
By Harriet Ernstsons Wednesday 12 December 2012 Updated: 20/12 10:38
Jack and the Beanstalk, Wolverhampton Grand Theatre
Tuesday, December 11
FUN, FROLICS and the odd faux pas were in store for audiences at the Grand at the launch of the 2012 pantomime season.
As with every great panto performance, the comedy was silly and sometimes quite close to the mark - meaning both children and adults had a laughs a plenty.
One of the stand-out stars of the show was Nigel Ellacott as Dame Trot. It was more than evident why he is considered one of the best panto dames in the country and he brought with him the experience of 38 years in the business.
His banter with the crowd, comic timing and interaction with his fellow actors was second to none and really gave something special to the performance. His song about Bilston Market, set to the tune of Copacabana, was a treat for anyone local to the area.
Another highlight was the appearance of Keith Harris with his lovable friends Orville and Cuddles, his segments - especially with cheeky monkey Cuddles - had the audience in hysterics.
One of the funniest scenes of the night came about completely by accident when Sherrie Hewson, appearing as baddie Lady Temple-Savage, completely fell apart dressed as a milkmaid while attempting to buy Day-zee the cow.
Every good panto features plenty of singing and it was here Niki Evans, appearing as Fairy Fortune, shone with her absolutely outstanding voice.
Credit must go to the production company Qdos Entertainment for the use of an inflatable beanstalk the crowd actually saw grow, as well as featuring the giant himself - something many Jack and the Beanstalk productions shy away from.
It was clear the hard work which had gone in to ensuring every aspect of the panto hit the mark - from the dance routines and script to the set and characters.
All in all, this was a real family fun night with highlights for young and old.

I have two more that are done and ready to post here, and then nine more to do after that. Which I haven't started yet, so I'd best get busy!

This next one is intended to be a James Bond-type character. This is one of those images that went through quite a few variations. The story snippet has the character defusing a bomb on an airliner, so that's what I depicted, with the guy having darker, longer hair and a brown suit, standing in the aisle of an airplane and holding up the bomb thingy.
But the publisher decided he wanted something different and provided a Sean Connery-era Bond picture (the classic stance of him holding the gun up by his head), and said he wanted that look, with a black suit and a solid white background (but with blond hair). So I did that, but then he said wanted an outdoor scene with him standing behind a car. Well, standing behind the car didn't work but I eventually came up with this scene, which we tinkered with a lot for lighting and color. Kat my recognize the building from a picture I did for her some years ago, of a fellow standing in a doorway in the background with a lady posing in the foreground. And the car, at least, is indeed an Aston Martin...
Victoria is a successful participant in a future X-Games sort of thrill seeking contest, some of which involve mock combat and others flying things around. As she lives for the adventure, I came up with this little action scene to depict that.

The publisher was rather intent on making the secret agent pic look like Daniel Craig...
Thanks for the link. An interesting site, although not quite for my kind of work. I think they're more into animation than stills. But it certainly is interesting to see what directions the whole "social media" trend is taking...
March 23rd, 2010, 09:52 AM #80
Two more.
The first, as opposed to say the secret agent one which went back and forth a lot, the publisher liked straight out of the box with no changes. Her name is Venya 8, and she is a completely human-appearing android, very beautiful with flaming red hair, who has been captured in a raid by marauders. She is completely cybernetic, however, and in the story scene characterized as having an intense hunter look as she waits her chance to wreak havoc on her captors. As I used a grey outfit for her, and most of the sci-fi sets are also grey, I elected to use a bright abstract background here, which also helps set off her hair.
The second one is an Amazonian warrior who, unlike her compatriots who flee at the approach of some modern-equipped soldiers, greets them boldly with her bow and her nasty knife.

When it comes to identifying the major issues facing state officials this year, it's a safe bet that human trafficking and the exploitation of young girls for sex isn't at the top of the list.
As it turns out, it was a
During the next legislative session, Harvey introduced legislation that made human trafficking for sex or forced labor a Class A felony, punishable by up to 30 years in prison under certain circumstances. When Gov. John Lynch signed Harvey's bill into law, New Hampshire became one of the first states to make human trafficking a crime.

Taming therooster on topof my head
Sunday, February 10, 2013
I've got a hair-raising tale to tell this week about my unruly brown locks.
Every day when I get out of bed, my hair looks like I spent the night in a wind tunnel. Dan, my husband of 35 years, knows about "the hair problem." In fact, we joke about it regularly.
But, I don't always have the time or patience for hair exorcism. On those days, Dan calls me "the rooster" because of the gigantic cockscomb on top of my head. If we have to take our 12-year-old son, Jarid, to an early hockey game on Saturday or Sunday mornings, I go as "the rooster" so I can sleep in an extra 30 minutes rather than fuss with my evil cowlicks.
"What about my hair," I said, irritated.

Read more about Enrollment Dips, Spirit Climbs Union College volunteers serve community: Is it still altruistic if you're having fun? September 4, 2008 It's rare to hear college students chat excitedly about weeding, cleaning, painting and sorting, but as groups trickled back to the Union College campus from serving more than 50 sites around Lincoln, Neb., those were the topics on everyone's mind. "We washed windows, scraped gum off tables, dusted book covers ... none of it was anything I'd think to do on my own," said Ashley Herbel, a freshman pre-med student from Wichita, Kansas after spending the morning at South Library. "But going with a group of friends can make anything fun." With more than 800 participants, there were a lot of friends, new and old, to transform the chores into constructive play. This year's turnout included over 80 percent of the student body along with college employees and volunteers from other local Seventh-day Adventist organizations. While attendance isn't taken for the volunteer event, Rich Carlson, vice president for spiritual life, said Union's Campus Ministries distributed more t-shirts to campus volunteers than in previous years. "I think this is the largest group we've ever had," Carlson said. Begun in 1981 as Project Brush, the original goal of the day was to paint 100 houses in 10 years. After completing the 113th house, the event was renamed and the projects diversified. Now volunteers focus on serving the agencies that serve others, providing helping hands to do tasks over-stretched social service organizations have a hard time keeping up with. "It amazes me you can take 10 or 12 people and get done in a few hours what would take me days to do on my own," said Huda McClelland, Union's director of admissions who has witnessed most of the event's 27-year history. "What we've heard so far from the agencies is overwhelmingly positive," Carlson said. "They're always amazed by the quantity and quality of work our students do and the attitude with which it is done." Listening to students talk under the campus' clock tower as they shared 220 pizzas, the conversations always returned to the same refrain: the work wasn't only fast, it was fun. Erin Webb, a senior business administration major from Greenville, Tenn., told about finding a creative outlet while painting barrels at Goodwill. Beau Snyder, a senior from Culver, Ore., described cleaning at the Lincoln Children's Museum as, "playing with a pressure hose." Even when Jennifer Dovich, a junior pre-med student from Turner, Ore., mentioned getting paint in her eye while painting a ceiling at Mahoney Elementary School, she added, "It was worth it, it was awesome and so much fun." Some former students who have experienced the spirit of the community service event returned to share in the labor and the camaraderie again. Thang Nguyen, an alumnus now working in Web development at Nebraska Books, told his boss about the event and she encouraged him to take the day off to participate. "I didn't want to miss the fun," Nguyen said. Since its inception, Project Impact has been student-led. This year Ann Bryant, a senior business administration major from Woodbury, Tenn., organized the event for the third time and trained a new coordinator, Emily Carlson, a junior elementary education major from Mohrsville, Pa. Both students, with the assistance of Ashley Groeneweg, a biology education major from Omaha, Neb., spent the summer organizing site lists, coordinating with sponsors and ensuring transportation and tools were available. "Hearing the enthusiasm from the organizations makes the months of planning worth it," Bryant said. Bryant added, "The worst thing that happened today was I didn't have anywhere to send the people who finished and wanted to do more." While the chores for the day may be completed, she hopes the contacts made will serve as a springboard for future service. Past Project Impacts have developed into long-term commitments for both individuals and student organizations, such as the volleyball team, the women's basketball team and the Union Scholars honors program. "One day of raking or painting makes the community slightly nicer," Bryant said. "But creating an environment where service is fun and exciting can have a big impact on the world."

Union College invites community to hear Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow September 3, 2008 Union College Division of Business and Computer Science welcomes Raichelle "Rai" H. Glover as a Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow Sept. 8-12. Glover, an accomplished executive, motivational speaker, leadership coach and civic volunteer, navigated corporate America as a Christian business woman in her fast-climbing career with Bank of America. According to Barry Forbes, chair of Union College Division of Business and Computer Science, when funding became available through division's Advisory Board to host a visiting fellow, the group had many intriguing leaders to choose from. The division chose Glover because of her wealth of her experiences and connections between her areas of expertise and Union's learning environment. "Topics such as 'liberal arts paths to corporate leadership' and 'what corporate diversity means today' are extremely relevant to Union College students," Forbes said. "Rai Glover's experience with work/family balance and strong civic engagement as shown by her many awards exemplify qualities that are important to this generation. We are honored that she accepted our invitation to spend the week with our students." In her first book release (2007), Corporate to Kindergarten, Rai shares her personal weekly diary of the joys and struggles she faced while being a mom to a kindergartner and managing a thriving corporate career. While on campus, Glover will be a guest speaker in six classes: Business Communications, Financial Institutions and Markets, Quality Management, Dynamics of Business, Conflict Management, and Nursing Management and Leadership. She will also present for the following free events that are open to the public: Weekly Campus Chapel "How to be a Christian in the Business World" Tuesday, Sept. 9, 10:30 a.m. College View Seventh-day Adventist Church 4801 Prescott Avenue Union College Business Awareness Series "Essential traits of successful leaders" Wednesday, Sept. 10, 7 p.m. Everett Dick Administration Building (amphitheatre, lower level) Located at the center of the Union College campus—3800 S. 48th St. Academic Convocation "Benefits of a liberal arts background in becoming a corporate leader" Thursday, Sept. 11, 10:30 a.m. Everett Dick Administration Building (amphitheatre, lower level) Located at the center of the Union College campus--3800 S. 48th St. For more information about these events, contact Union College Division of Business and Computer Science: 486-2521. Read more about Union College invites community to hear Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow Project Impact kicks off a year of volunteering September 2, 2008 Students always want more of three resources: time, money and sleep. So when Union College students are given a day free of classes and other on-campus commitments, it may seem counter-intuitive that 85 percent choose to show up at 8:15 a.m. to spend the day working--for free. But students make up for what they lack with an excess of enthusiasm and altruism. On Thursday, Sept. 4, Union students will once again commit their time and energy to serving the Lincoln community. "I think everybody wants to help others," said Sara Baptist, sophomore communication major from Canon City, Colo. "When something presents itself like Project Impact, we jump on it. If Union held it more often, people would still go." Began in 1981, Project Impact has given students the opportunity to change their corner of the world wile establishing lasting connections within the community. An estimated 15,100 volunteers have impacted Lincoln with more than 99,000 hours of voluntary labor since its inception. According to available research, it's the longest running collegiate service day with the highest percentage of participation in the nation. There's no brownie points, no extra credit--nothing to motivate the mass of students to join the cause other than satisfaction and a free t-shirt. Whether it's raking leaves, painting shelters, serving up soup or helping build a house, Union College students and faculty turn out to do whatever sweaty, grimy work needs to be accomplished for those in need. Building on the students' energy and 27 years of success, Ann Bryant, senior business administration major and Project Impact coordinator, sees the event as a way for students to connect with agencies they can serve all year. This will be the fourth year Union's women's basketball team will spend the day helping at the Lincoln Children's Museum, a relationship that has grown as the players return throughout the year to help with events. "I like volunteering. I feel it's important," Baptist said. "It's not easy for kids to just say 'I'm going to volunteer this weekend.'" Students like Baptist can find ways to do more by talking to Union's student volunteer coordinator, Kaylea Blackburn, sophomore international rescue and relief major from Summersville, Mo., or read about a different volunteer opportunity highlighted each week in the Clocktower, Union's student newspaper. Bryant, now in her third year of planning Project Impact, sees this year's event as a learning experience for her peers. "Of all the pressures you would think could keep students from volunteering--homework, class, extracurricular activities, the price of gas, whatever--the biggest barrier is awareness," Bryant said. "I've learned that the more people I involve in the planning process of this event, the more people understand the purpose of Project Impact and then are able to take on that passion themselves."

It's been a long time since Union College cost $15 per month, 117 years to be precise. Since then, costs at private colleges nationwide have risen to an average of $23,712 for tuition and fees during 2007-2008, not including room and board. Likewise, the benefits of a bachelor's degree have increased to an expected $800,000 more earned income over a lifetime than someone with a high school diploma.1 Though Union's costs are 32 percent under the national average for private colleges, students and families often need help financing a Christian education. After a year of research and consultation with experts and comparable colleges, Union is launching a new, streamlined financial aid policy. "Our goal has always been to provide an affordable Christian education," said Rob Weaver, vice president for Enrollment and Student Financial Services. "We've kept tuition down largely through the help of our alumni and mission-oriented faculty and staff, but we've been asking ourselves for a while now if we are using our financial aid budget to maximize the benefit it gives students. With the new policy, I think we can answer 'yes.'" The previous financial aid system loaded almost all of the benefits onto the first two years, and while still front-loaded, the new policy includes a renewable component that guarantees more money than before for up to three additional years. "Families will be better able to plan for all four years, and the greater renewable funds will make it easier for juniors and seniors to continue at Union," Weaver said. "We hope this will improve Union's retention rate." While grades and test scores have previously played an important role, much of a student's award was based high school achievements, such as holding leadership positions, being involved in their church and many other variables. Taryn Rouse, Doretha Dale, Alan Orrison and Elina Camarena comprise Union's Student Financial Services team. "Elina and the financial advisors work long hours and weekends when necessary, even taking calls at home," Rob Weaver said. "Their dedication makes financial issues easier for families to deal with." "A system that encourages leadership and involvement sounds like a good idea until you try to implement it," said Camarena, director of Student Financial Services. "We couldn't verify anything, and it favored the outgoing over the shy. With so many variables, it's no wonder we always had long lines at registration. According to Taryn Rouse, student financial advisor, the worst-case scenario under the old system was a student who came unprepared. "If someone couldn't remember or just couldn't articulate what they'd achieved, they'd leave with zero financial aid unless their parents stepped in and did the speaking for them," she said. "Under the new system, the questions are really simple: What was your cumulative GPA? What was your ACT or SAT score? Have you filled out a FAFSA?"2 If a student's answers to the first two questions are 3.5 GPA, an ACT score of 30 (SAT of 1980), then they qualify for the highest level of merit awards, $25,000 over a four-year period, and possibly more if their FAFSA indicates high financial need. Though the focus remains on academic merit and financial need, those with the most to gain from the new policy are average students from middle class families. In the past, a student with average or low grades and test scores, no leadership experience and a family income too high for government grants received little to no financial aid. Now everyone who fills out a FAFSA gets at least $3,000 for the first year, renewable at $1,500 per year for the three years. "We really have to thank our donors for providing so much help to our students through unspecified donations, gifts to the Union College Fund and named scholarships," said Stephanie Meyer, scholarships and events director. "Without their commitment, we could never approach this level of financial assistance. It's important to remember also that what a student qualifies for in direct aid from Union under this policy might not be the only help they receive. Some additional sources of funding will continue to include: Matching church donations. "It says a lot about a student when a church family steps forward to help in their education," Weaver said. "Union will continue to match donations from churches of up to $3,300 at a rate of 50 percent." Scholarships for missions and service. Union will continue to reward students for participation in mission and volunteer service, summer camp work, literature evangelism and other activities that further the mission of the world church. Top test scores. National Merit Award Scholars and those with equivalent ACT scores qualify for 100 percent of tuition. "There are some students every college wants because of their academic excellence," Weaver said. "We are proud of our history of attracting top students to Union, and we'll continue to offer them scholarships at a competitive level." Foundation and corporate scholarships. "I encourage all students to apply for outside scholarships," Rouse said. "Just because Union can't provide more help doesn't mean no one can, and putting a little effort into applying can really pay off." Foundation and corporate scholarships. "I encourage all students to apply for outside scholarships," Rouse said. "Just because Union can't provide more help doesn't mean no one can, and putting a little effort into applying can really pay off." Grace from the Union College Fund. "Every year I see students who face extraordinary circumstances and don't know how they will continue their education," said David Smith, college president. "Sometimes just a little extra support from our alumni can make a huge difference in a student's life. The Union College Fund provides for some discretionary aid each year." While taking the guesswork out of financial aid may make the new system seem less magical to students, God's hand is still evident in funding Union College educations. "It sounds corny, but we do see miracles happen all the time," Rouse said. "Really, it can be frustrating sometimes when I've seen a miracle and can't tell everyone because of privacy concerns." "Seeing everything fall into place makes our jobs rewarding," Camarena added. "We've seen people come in who think they can't afford anything and leave with a plan that meets their needs." "I want everyone in Mid-America to know that if attending Union has ever crossed their minds, but they didn't think they could afford it, they should call us, write us, e-mail us or just come visit," Camarena said. "You never know what's possible." 1 Statistics gathered by the College Board. 2 Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Read more about Union College graduation marks alumni milestone Fortenberry speaks at Union College Physician Assistant Hooding Ceremony May 7, 2008 Congressman Jeff Fortenberry delivered the keynote address as the Physician Assistant Program of Union College's Division of Health Sciences began a new tradition: graduate hooding. This is the second year since the program finished transitioning from offering a baccalaureate degree to conferring a Master of Physician Assistant Studies and the first year it has held a hooding ceremony. The ceremony took place on Friday, May 9, in the Ridnour Room of The Apothecary in Lincoln's Haymarket from 4:30 to 7 p.m. "We are glad Congressman Fortenberry agreed to deliver the keynote," said Jeff Joiner, chair of the Division of Health Sciences. "Health care and politics are increasingly intertwined, and professionals and policy makers should take every opportunity to understand each other." During the ceremony, established members of the profession gave the 22 students hoods to be worn as part of their regalia. "Hooding is a common tradition in health science graduate programs," said Joiner. "It's a great opportunity for us to say 'goodbye' to our students and welcome them as colleagues." "Colleagues" is a particularly apt term for this class. According to Mike Huckabee, physician assistant program director, a higher number of students have firm offers of post-graduation employment than ever before. "We're seeing unprecedented demand for our graduates," said Huckabee. It's no wonder, considering the physician assistant profession was rated in the April issue of Money Magazine as number five of the top ten best careers during an economic downturn. The hooding also celebrated the end of the program's ninth year of existence and marked the beginning of a decade of service. "We have a lot to be thankful for this year," Huckabee said. "We're particularly grateful for grants from the Nebraska Academy of Physician Assistants and the National Physician Assistant Foundation that have allowed Union's PA and nursing programs to continue providing free foot care to the homeless of Lincoln."

Artist Katee Awdish, senior graphic design and English major, has been drawing since a young age. "Through my art, I like learning about myself, and I figure out what in life really brings me joy," Adwish said. "When I'm creating a new painting with a new character, I think about what his story might be. I figure out details in his clothing and the colors and personality he is. I learn a lot about myself from what I notice in the world." Her display contains 15-20 items including fine art, ink, watercolor, topography posters and photography. "People should come see it if they like color," she explained, "or if they like kind of a bit of the unusual, because a lot of my art has a fantasy touch. The media, anime, cartoons and books I'm reading tend to inspire my art." The McClelland Art Gallery is in the Ortner Center on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue. The art gallery is free to the public and open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Ortner Center at 402.486.2545.

Emceed by Brendan Nieto, senior business administration major, and Ross Eichele, senior business administration and computer information systems major, the evening included a catered dinner, an inspirational talk by former Warrior Aaron Purkeypile and a presentation of awards. "This is the first year we've had an end-of-year event that recognized achievements by all those who participate in sports at Union," said Greg Steiner, intramurals director and women's basketball head coach. "In the past, the varsity athletes have celebrated with a dinner, but we felt it was important to hold a more inclusive event. Next year we hope to widen the circle more to include athletic achievements in sports offered for academic credit, such as gymnastics." The event was sponsored by the Warriors Booster Club and planned by Heather Perry, senior business administration major.

"Reading has always been a part of my life," she said, "and I want that for the kids." In 2003, Herrington organized the Lincoln chapter of First Book, an international nonprofit organization that gives new books to low-income families. Since then over 7,000 books have been placed into the hands of kids in Lincoln thanks to efforts of First Book-Union College, whose staff fluctuates each year as interested students come and go. This year, Chris Webb, senior communication major, is helping the cause by incorporating First Book needs into his Grant Writing and Proposal class. It's efforts such as these that allow First Book-Union College to flourish. First Book deals only in new books that are given to children to keep, so that their love for literature can grow. Over the holiday season, the chain-bookstore Borders teamed up with First-Book to raise over $1.1 million. That money was then allotted to the various chapters and advisory boards around the nation who submitted grant applications. Recently, First Book-Union College was able to provide $4,000 in Borders gift cards to three recipients in Lincoln: St. Mary's Elementary, Lincoln Public Schools' Excite Head Start and Brownell Community Learning Center. Another 176 books were given to the Foster Grandparent and RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteer Program) reading programs in Chardon, Neb. The Union College chapter, the only First Book program in Lincoln, Neb., has also been making its own partnerships with Meadowlark Press and with Union College's Associate Student Body. The proceeds from the last Bachelor Action held by ASB went towards First Book-Union College's goal. "I'm very thrilled about how many books are in children's hands," Herrington said. "What I would really like to see, as far as First Book-Union College, is more people getting involved. If we can raise more funds that means more books can go out into the community." To get involved, contact Joann Herrington at 402.486.2600 x2173 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

With the creations of Claudia Pech, senior communication and graphic design major, wonder no more. Her quirky signature "Brought to you by the letter C" line clears up any confusion in a fun way and is now the title for her senior graphic design exhibit in the McClelland Art Gallery. Running until April 26, the display of 25 pieces showcases Pech's talent at mixing creativity and information into true works of art. One of her favorite items is a poster advertising for Union College's annual film festival. "It was a rather complex idea that actually turned out the way I wanted it. People still ask me, 'how did you do that?'" said Pech. Although to some her work may seem boring, Pech explained how intricate a process it can be and as well as the room for artistry. "It's a different type of art," she said. "It's non-traditional. You find that you can use your imagination in a way that you hadn't thought of before." The McClelland Art Gallery is in the Ortner Center on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue.

"Artwork is meant to be shared," says McClelland, professor of art at Union College. "I hope people will be inspired by the creative genius of God, expressed not only in the paintings themselves, but in the talents He gives people." He has displayed his work across the United States and even taught art workshops in seven other countries. McClelland has won numerous "Best of Show" awards and his paintings have been used as illustrations in four books including Hummingbirds of North America, by Dr. Paul Johnsgard.

ZEISS spotlights several new technologies at IMTS
ZEISS Industrial Metrology has announced it will feature several new products at IMTS 2014 that enhance customer productivity, increase accuracy and reduce energy consumption.
The new ZEISS CONTURA coordinate measuring machines with navigator technology for active sensors allow faster scanning of circular features while also increasing accuracy. navigator will automatically calculate the optimal scanning speed based on tolerances, feature size, probe stiffness and probe weight. ZEISS CONTURA aktiv now comes standard with navigator, following suit with ZEISS PRISMO and ZEISS ACCURA which already integrate this technology. The QuickChange option, which accelerates how fast the machine automatically changes sensors, is also available for the ZEISS CONTURA aktiv. ZEISS AirSaver option can also be integrated for more savings as it reduces compressed air consumption by up to 60 percent depending on the application. The proven features of the CONTURA also include its efficient, highly precise air bearings.
The new ZEISS CALYPSO 2014 software contains dozens of new commands that shorten the time it takes to create a measurement program. Some key highlights include touch-enabled functionality allowing faster modification of 3D models and measurements, 100 percent measurement run simulation, and the ability for a user to adapt the interface to their own personal needs.
There will also be new laser line and surface finish sensors, flexible surface and roundness measurement systems, plus temperature and data management tools on display.
The New ZEISS CONTURA
The all-new affordable ZEISS CONTURA CMM offers flexible, reliable and uncompromising quality assurance. The latest generation is even more precise, is available in more sizes, and comes with even more sensor options. Our industry-leading active scanning technology and CALYPSO 2014 software let you measure faster, increasing your throughput. Designed and assembled in the USA, the CONTURA maintains its place as the standard in its class.

The company is a recognized partner to the automotive industry and its suppliers. 2,400 employees from manufacturing sites in four countries and more than 100 sales and service centers supply customers around the world.
The offering encompasses bridge-type, horizontal-arm and inline measuring machines, as well as form, contour and surface measuring machines. All relevant modules, such as controllers, software, measuring systems and sensors are developed and manufactured in-house. Recent new developments include a system to measure extremely small parts and a computer tomograph for industrial quality assurance. DuraMax, a small CNC measuring machine, allows a particularly cost-effective entry into the ZEISS scanning world.
With its optical and tactile measuring systems, ZEISS has added image processing to the application spectrum of coordinate measuring technology. Synergies have been used to create optical sensors and optimized software. The image processing software is integrated into CALYPSO CAD-based measuring software, enabling a measuring system to perform both optical and tactile measurements.
The extensive CALYPSO software library enables users of ZEISS measuring technology to perform almost any measuring task. The efficient Navigator technology is of particular importance for maximum accuracies and simultaneously high measuring speeds. The offering is rounded off with extensive customer services, contract measurements, part inspection using computer tomography and online services to ensure optimum machine uptimes.

Waldorf School in Eliot, Maine, wins auction for new location
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
ELIOT — The Tidewater Waldorf School received an early Christmas present this year — a new home for its students, complete with modern updates, bright windows and more acreage — at a property that was once almost home to a strip club.
McEachern put the school's finances in order in a matter of weeks to be qualified to bid on the property at a TD Bank foreclosure auction.
The school has been in the area since 1999 and is currently on the corner of Beech Road and Route 236.
There are 45 students at Tidewater Waldorf School ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade. McEachern said the students work in their own classes, but spend a lot of time doing group work.
Tidewater Waldorf School is now accepting applications for Spring 2013 and Fall 2013. For more information, call (207) 439-7911 or visit www.tidewaterschool.org.

I heard the Jets won today guys, am I hearing that right? Going to the playoffs too?
I heard there was some internet out here in Caleefornee Way, but it ain't much! I want to know if the Jets won cuz their coach said they were going to the Super Bowl. Darn internetz!
I'm on team CalDolFan10x14. Join me!
-Dan MarinoI just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.
I'm not getting any internetz here either.
I did hear on the radio that Dirty Snatcho character had a game they will talk about in NYC for years to come though. Hope we didn't lose too badly?
Oh, I also heard the Jests have a new TE. His name is Randy Starks. He had 2 Receptions and almost ran one of them in.
When a defensive lineman has more catches than your opponent's top wide receiver....
I hope we don't have to listen to how good Suchchez is going to be and the cluster **** that surrounds the Jets with the fungus infected buffoon that boasts more than a drunk guy at the bar of accomplishments that have never been achieved.
Maybe Dirty can challenge Joey Chestnut for the Mustard Belt because he certainly can swallow a ****ing wiener.
