We are now accepting applications for the Winter 2015 session of The College Classroom.
Application deadline: Sunday, November 30 at 11:59 pm.
Applications are now closed.
We will make decisions and inform all applicants by December 10.
This series of weekly, 90-minute seminars throughout the quarter is part of the Center for Teaching Development's Preparing Future Practitioners (PFP) program. The course is aimed at graduate students and postdocs who already have experience as teaching assistants and are interested in making the leap from grading, running discussion sessions or leading labs to being the instructor-of-record at UCSD and beyond.
By the end of this course, you will:
- be able to talk about and reference modern theories of teaching and learning including
- how people learn
- fixed vs. growth mindsets
- what it means (and takes) to be an expert
- formative and summative assessment
- teaching to a diverse student body
- scholarly teaching (that is, teaching as research)
- start drafting a Teaching Statement for use in a job application.
- prepared a lesson plan for a class in your field, and received feedback on it
- be able to create formative and summative assessments.
- be prepared to implement active learning and student-centered instruction, peer instruction with clickers, in particular
- be able to use online tools like Google docs, Google spreadsheets and WordPress blogs
- stand out on your job application as being well-prepared to be a successful educator.
Note this is not yet an official UCSD course so there are no credits for successfully completing The College Classroom, nor will it appear on your transcript. The learning outcomes and curriculum are based on those developed by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) Network. CIRTL is an NSF-funded network of 23 institutions across the US, including UCSD, with a mission to "enhance excellence in undergraduate education through the development of a national faculty committed to implementing and advancing effective teaching practices for diverse learners as part of successful and varied professional careers." Upon completing The College Classroom, you will receive a certificate of completion acknowledging you have reached the level of CIRTL Associate.
2015 Summer Graduate Teaching Scholars: Completing The College Classroom is a requirement for Ph.D. students wishing to teach a Summer Session course through the Summer Graduate Teaching Scholars (SGTS) program. If you are selected as an SGTS but have not yet taken The College Classroom, you must complete the course in the Winter 2015 Quarter or risk losing your spot in the SGTS program. Be sure to indicate on your application that you anticipate being a 2015 SGTS.
Course details for Winter 2015 quarter:
Peter Newbury (Associate Director, Center for Teaching Development) with co-instructors from various Departments and Schools.
Once per week for 90 minutes, starting in Week 1 of the Wi15 Quarter. Each week, the same session of the course will be offered 3 times:
- Tuesdays, 11:00am – 12:20pm
- Tuesdays, 2:00 – 3:00pm
- Thursdays, 12:30 – 1:50pm
Participants in the course only need to attend one session. Applicants selected for the course will have a chance to pick time(s) that fit their schedules.
Center Hall, Room 316
(adjacent to the Center for Teaching Development)
How to Apply:
Because of the high level of interest in this course, we can't accommodate everyone who wants to take it right now. Please submit an application by following the link below, and we will select approximately 75 participants. These are our selection criteria:
- Applicants with less time remaining at UCSD are given priority over those with more time remaining and more opportunity to take the course the future.
- Because this course is about preparing to be an instructor, as opposed to being a successful teaching assistant, applicants with some TA experience are given priority over those with little or no TA experience.
- Applicants with significant teaching experience (especially as instructor of record) are given lower priority as we seek to support a group without substantial teaching experience. We encourage people in this more-experienced group to contact the CTD about other possible forums to develop their interests.
- In the interest of diversity and the communities served by the Center for Teaching Development, part of the Graduate Division, we admit a balance between graduate students and postdocs, and between Departments, Faculties and Schools.
- People who applied for the class before but were not admitted will get special consideration. We don't want to make any assumptions about who is still interested and/or available so if you applied in the past, please submit this application again.
- Spaces are reserved in either the Fall or Winter classes for the 2015 Summer Graduate Teaching Scholars.
- Spaces are reserved for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry's GAANN Fellows
We will be offering the course again in the Fall 2015 quarter. We will begin accepting applications for that class in August, 2015.

Kabelo "Sello" Duiker
Prior to committing suicide in 2005, South African novelist Kabelo "Sello" Duiker won the Common Wealth Writers' Prize for Thirteen Cents and the 2002 Herman Charles Bosman Prize for his second novel, The Quiet Violence of Dreams. The latter novel looked at how young South Africans adopt and repackage global culture while worrying about selling out. "Isn't sticking to your own culture ruthlessly a kind of stagnation, a type of incest?" the protagonist asks.

My only issue with Black Walnut used to be the parking! Luckily, they recently moved to a new and improved location and that is no longer an issue. If you like brunch on Sunday, this is a great place! Their patio is a great place to hang out on nice days. Menu includes something for everyone.

have tried their new location twice. Ordered soup one time and waited a lon time for my buzzer to go off. I finally went up to check on it and it was sitting on counter. It was luje warm. Other experience was similar. New location is very loud
Thanks for sharing and we apologize for your recent unsatisfactory experience.

Tiffany, one of the cashiers always remembers us by name and makes us feel very welcome. The service is quick and the coffee and fresh juice are excellent. They also make a great bloody mary.

One of the best "casual" places in The Woodlands. The food is excellent, but you have to stand in line to place your order and pick it up. This can be a bit annoying. The noise level is high and at brunch/lunch, people are packed in like sardines
I have been there a couple of times due to friends wanting to go. Every time I went there was a insanely large unorganized line with no place to sit while waiting. By the time you wait in line and for your food an hour and a half has gone by. So if you are in a time crunch, avoid... More
I have been to BW numerous times. I really like the new location. It's easier to get there and park (still crowded at times). Their food quality and selection are great. The signature Black Walnut salad is a meal in itself. The wine selection has improved since moving and it's much more open than before. I've not had a bad... More
Although the food has been good over the years, the wait to order and to receive food, correctly prepared, has grown longer and longer. The manager explained to me tonight that 2 cash registers is really all the kitchen can accommodate, even though the seating has been enlarged at the new location. At 8:30 pm, we waited more than 15... More
It is very important to us that we improve and grow and we are disappointed that you feel we have not succeeded in this respect.

Best burger ever! They also have a chocolate cake that is amazing! I've tried many dishes and have loved them all so it is a winner in my book! Little pricey but worth it!
Thanks for the 5 star review!! Your positive feedback is great and we really appreciate it. Thanks again :) More
When we walked in the door I was expecting a quiet cafe...not the case. You order your own food and pick it up yourself. It was crazy loud and hardly no tables available (Sunday around 1 o'clock) but... The staff was friendly, the menu extensive and the food Delcious! Extensive beer selection and nice bar area.

"Very good, but could be great"
I think Cider House is one of Irving's best books. This recording is quite good, but I'd like to hear it redone by one of the top narrators. As is, it's still a perfectly fine recording and you'll probably still enjoy it. However, I think that if they chose to have someone redo it, it has the potential to be one of the best listens out there.
"Very poor narration"
Unfortunately, I bought this one without listening to a narration sample. I was eager to try out Ben Hur, having never read it, but the narration was so poor I couldn't listen to more than the first half hour.
The narrator's rhythm felt unnatural, and hindered the understanding of the story. A good narrator should make the story come clear and alive, not baffling and unpleasant.
"Top notch audio book"
Excellently written and narrated, one of my favorites out there. Definitely worth your time!
"Good Author, Mediocre Narrator"
Audible needs to get the Barbara Rosenblat version of this book -- she is a wonderful narrator and would make this audiobook so much better. Naked Once More, the last in this series is available with Rosenblat's narration -- you can listen to it and understand what I mean!
Elizabeth Peters' books are probably my favorite guilty pleasure.
"Audible, please get the Rosenblat version"
Elizabeth Peters is at her funny, charming best -- but the narration is terribly disappointing, especially when so many of Peter's books are read by Barbara Rosenblat!
Audible needs to get the whole Kirby series with Barbara Rosenblat as narrator.
"Narrator + Author = Great Listen"
Elizabeth Peters writes delightful, funny mystery stories. Naked Once More is solid Peters and quite enjoyable. But what makes it a great listen is the wonderful talent of Barbara Rosenblat. She is one of the top narrators out there, and what a difference she makes!
The other narration option is not nearly as good as this one. Even if you've listened to the rest of the Kirby series with the other narrator -- by all means switch to Rosenblat for this one! I can't recommend Barbara Rosenblat enough.
"Exceptional, not to be missed"
This audiobook was my first introduction to Patchett, and my favorite so far. The writing is lyrical, the characters captivating, and the narration fits it well. Some other reviewers have criticized the ending. I agree that it's pretty sudden and I would have liked a few more chapters there at the end, but it's nothing to greatly diminish the overall quality of the book.
This is one of the few audiobooks that will go on my best-of-the-best list!
"Poignant and lovely"
I've listened to several Ann Patchett books, and this is one of my favorites. Great writing, great narration, it is worth your time and book credit.
"Not her best"
I've listened to a few other Patchett books--Bel Canto was my favorite, I also liked State of Wonder and The Magician's Assistant. I found The Patron Saint of Liars rather disappointing. Patchett still has a beautiful flow to her writing, but I found the character arcs unsatisfying and the ending was baffling and inconclusive.
Still, it could be your cup of tea, and it's worth a try if you're a Patchett fan. Solid narration.
"Decent listen"
This was a pretty good story with pretty good narration -- but Ngaio Marsh can't hold a candle to Dorothy Sayers. I tried this out because I adore Sayers, and I don't regret the purchase, but it didn't get me hooked on the series.
"Excellent listening"
I read War and Peace four years ago, decided to revisit it in audio format, and it did not disappoint! Neville Jason is by far the best narrator currently available (try out the others and you will see, I remember at least one of them being downright painful). Neville Jason does quite a good job.
But I have been asking myself -- why don't we have someone as good as Neville Jason reading with an American accent? This is Russian literature. There is no reason that the English translation should only be in a British accent. My favorite audio version of Anna Karenina is also in a British accent. Believe me, I adore listening to British lit in British accents. But like I said, this is Russian lit.

Calls on Congress to End Lawsuit Abuse as a critical Part of Health Care Reform
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Health Coalition on Liability and Access (HCLA) commends President Bush's stalwart support of medical liability reform and his call on the U.S. Congress in last night's State of the Union message to end the epidemic of medical lawsuit abuse that is threatening patient access to medical care. Standing before the Congress, the President forthrightly called on that body to "confront the epidemic of junk lawsuits" as an essential step to ensuring that important "decisions about your medical care are made in the privacy of your doctor's office."
"President Bush has been a strong supporter of medical liability reform throughout his Presidency," said Shawn Martin, HCLA's Chair, "and he made sure in his last State of the Union message to remind Congress that ending the plague of lawsuit abuse must be an essential part of any future health care reform package they may consider. President Bush understands that patients pay the price for our out-of-control medical liability system and that meritless lawsuits are causing critical shortfalls in health care in states across the nation."
In many states, lawsuit abuse has driven insurance premiums so high that doctors can no longer afford them, forcing many to leave practice or cut back on life-saving procedures that carry a high risk. The American people understand the danger and have consistently voiced support of comprehensive medical liability reform in national polls. The latest polls show that three quarters (74%) of Americans believe that their access to quality medical care is threatened because our broken medical liability system is forcing good doctors out of medicine; and a similar number (75% to 76%) want their elected representatives to pass medical liability reform with reasonable limits on non-economic damages.

Antifungal proteins: targets, mechanisms and prospective applications
Rent the article at a discountRent now
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
All organisms have evolved several defence systems in order to protect themselves against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Higher organisms have developed a complex network of humoral and cellular responses, called adaptive immunity. A second defence system, innate immunity, was discovered in the early 1980s, consisting of small cationic peptides with a broad antimicrobial spectrum. These proteins act immediately at sites of infection or inflammation. The production of proteins with antimicrobial activity was not limited to higher organisms but was also found in insects, plants and microorganisms. During the last 2decades a broad range of proteins with very different structural features have been isolated and characterised from differing organisms ranging from bacteria to human beings. Over 500cationic membrane-acting proteins with antimicrobial and antifungal activities have been identified to date. Apart from these proteins, a very large number of antifungal proteins active on the fungal cell wall, on enzymes of the cell wall synthesis machinery, the plasma membrane and on intracellular targets have been characterised.

- Blind Date - Fable 2
Back to Fable 2 Guide Index
More for this game: Fable 2 SuperCheats
In Brightwood meanwhile, you can take on the Blind Date quest. This again is not available if you decimated the farmer and his household in the Red Harvest quest, as it's hard to accept a quest from a dead man. Still, head to his farm in Brightwood as before and he'll tell you he needs you to perform a matchmaking exercise for his son as it's high time he was married. His son doesn't want the same sort of partner however, preferring the company of men, and so your task is to hook him up with an eligible man by showing possible candidates his photo. After talking to his son in the barn, make you way to Bowerstone and locate a suitable character to show the photo to. If they accept, travel back to the farm and break the good news to the lad.
Incidentally, you can show it to a woman and set up the blind date with her, though this will get you 10 evil points rather than the 10 good points you get otherwise. The most positive outcome of this quest however, as well as the 3500 renown is the option to buy the farm as the boy and his father wish to move to Bowerstone.
Next is a nice quest to reminisce about your past, being located in the gypsy enclave at Bower Lake.

Mahira Hafeez Khan is a Pakistani television and film actress, also previously a VJ, who is best known for her role in Humsafar as Khirad Ehsan[3][4][5][6] which helped re-establish the popularity of Pakistani-made shows in Pakistan.[7]
Khan's notable work includes Neeyat (2011), Humsafar (2011-2012), Shehr-e-Zaat (2012) and Sadqay Tumhare (2014-2015).[8][9][10][11]
In 2011, Khan made her film debut with Bol directed by Shoaib Mansoor, where played the role of Ayesha, a feisty tomboy, who keeps getting harassed by her father and marries to a Shia Muslim boy without telling her father. Khan made her television debut with the serial Neeyat directed by Mehreen Jabbar, however it went by relatively unnoticed, afterwards which she played the role of Khirad Ehsan, a middle-class girl who marries with her wealthy cousin despite his mother and best friend being against this arrangement, in the 2011 television blockbuster Humsafar. Her raw portrayal and appeal were greatly appreciated by the audiences as well as the chemistry she shared with co-star Fawad Afzal Khan.[12][13] Khan states that she is selective with her work and reviews a script closely before deciding to accept, regardless of whether the project is in Pakistan or outside of the country,[14] so that she can spend time with her son.[7]
She is currently shooting for Asim Raza's upcoming untitled film project.[15][16]
Khan is married to Ali Askari, who had attended college with her in Los Angeles. The ceremony took place on 13 July 2007.[17]
The actress says if she has to choose between Bollywood and Pakistan it will always be the latter.[18]
Mahira Khan visited India in November 2014 soon after her drama Humsafar was aired on Indian TV channel Zindagi.[19][20]
After denying rumours of debuting in Bollywood opposite Ranveer Singh, she will now make her Bollywood debut opposite Shahrukh Khan in Rahul Dholakia's action drama Raees where she'll portray the love interest and wife of Khan.[21] It has been said that she will be the new face on Indian cinema screens after her popularity on Indian television.[22][23]

Google's intention of putting all known information on-line (albeit at a cost) appears to be making astonishingly good progress. In a society where knowledge is all important the end result would put the company in a position of power that Microsoft could never even dream of by simply dominating the software market.I hope that Google will keep their pledge to "do no evil" and not try to elbow out the competition using methods learned from (among others) Microsoft when worthy rivals ultimately hit the scene. Perhaps evil is too strong a word for it but, whether it is committed by autocrats or private companies, attempting to monopolize access to knowledge should always be seen as a dangerous activity.
Excellent article, with a very apt comparison to BMI and ASCAP. As an author and publisher (both online and in print) I've long applauded Google's historic efforts to preserve the written words of all mankind, and give new life to millions of books that are rare, prohibitively expensive -- or simply not "commercial" enough to interest old-fashioned publishers. Yet, as with Napster and the music industry, the question persisted: how can we fairly compensate those who create the material others use? This settlement opens the door to a solution with PROFOUND benefits for readers and writers (and publishers) alike. To those who question whether it gives Google too much power in the book world, I ask "If not Google, who? If not now, when?" It's time for us to lead, follow, or get out of the way. -- Danny O. Snow, Senior Fellow, the Society for New Communications Research
The key is whether or not it increases the public domain, that is, free access to works online. I think not.Google argued at first on the basis of fair use (fair dealing). However, publishers do not recognize this right--the agreement does not mean Google has given up rights, but surely the agreement makes it hard for others to make fair use of other copyrighted works.Works already out of copyright are not covered by this agreement. However, Google restricts access to them online (with a bogus PDF format impractical to use for OCR) and by means of exclusive contracts with libraries makes it hard for others to reuse them. Microsoft has pulled out of the competing group scanning books. We will have to see what happens with library systems in other nations.There are many books in the contracting libraries printed after 1921 but not renewed, so not under copyright now. Google has not been scanning these and the contracts may put them off limits as well.Finally, there are many books under copyright but not in print. Most of these have no commercial value (at least until publishers sniffed at Google's rear). Yet the copyright owners cannot be found (perhaps the author died, the publisher went out of business, nobody kept track of the contracts, and so on). An Orphan Books Act was recently passed to help make it easier for others to put such works online for free, as long as a genuine effort was made to locate the copyright owner. Registries were to be set up. Google has now announced it will put up one. But it also will charge users no matter what, collect the money itself, and wait for the rightful owners to discover what is going on. This will put many works off limits to those who wish to scan them and post them online non-commercially.Yes, it sets up a market. But the market for such works already existed and failed. The agreement is a big step away from free books online, comprehensive digital libraries for the benefit of the public, and instead for commoditizing information in the hands of giant corporations that may go out of business and deny access to what society vitally needs in the future.The judge should recognize these facts and force the parties to refashion the agreement to recognize fair use, non-monopoly over library access and information, and better treatment of orphan works.
Global rights are still a thorny issue - establishing a pricing model that covers all markets that is both fair and profitable is not easy. Ask any publisher of DVDs who uses a different, mutually exclusive format for different regions across the globe. Until everyone can agree on these fundamental questions, we still have a way to go before the demise of "country centric" content. Perhaps Google can put its algorithms to work solving this conundrum.
I'm sure it will come to Europe soon - it's logical that they start in the US and then move onto Europe once they've got the agreements sorted there. It's all down to territory rights which are different between countries. For example a book published by Penguin in the UK could easily be published by Collins in USA etc.
Well, that's the key problem - it's all applicable to U.S. only :) If you live in Europe, you won't be able to subscribe to the Google's book library.
Too bad that U.S.-centric thinking still dominates the world.

Its a Game and Its a Business
I bought the Prometheus MVAE (VA) and I can get it for 1 mod when my fleet makes tier 4, while I got the Defiant (VA) with my token (600-day) and it requires 4 mods since I did not buy it. The Cryptic/PWE goal is to not make someone pay in full for the same ship again when you get the Fleet equivalent. They are going to use these Fleet ships as a profit tool, but they are sensitive enough to realize that the players are not going to fork over another $20 for a skin variant and some minor adjustments in a game bot they already paid for in game.

Research by the University of Oklahoma has shown that pre-workout stretching may not lower strength.
I have heard several times that pre-workout (static) stretching can reduce strength. Some strength coaches suggest performing dynamic stretches prior to a workout and static stretching afterward or later in the day.
Dr. Joel T. Cramer, of the University of Oklahoma, wanted to determine if these effects would be seen after the short bouts of stretching that a typical exerciser or weekend athlete might perform. To study this Dr. Cramer and colleagues measured calf strength in 13 moderately active men and women under four different conditions: after no stretching, and before and after 2, 4, or 8 minutes of calf-muscle stretching.
The researchers found that stretching did not diminish the participants' muscle strength compared with the no-stretching condition. However, the stretching did temporarily improve the range of motion in the ankle joint.Dr. Cramer notes that previous studies that did show that static stretching for long periods of time (10+ minutes) may decrease muscle strength for a short time. He also notes that larger muscle may be more susceptible to reduced strength from pre-workout stretching.
I typically perform a few short static stretches prior to workouts, especially for my legs; however, these typically include 3 bouts of 20 seconds of stretching per leg. I also warm-up with light weights before getting started with the planned weight workout. It's nice to know that this won't sap my strength.

Although stories of cheating men have been dominating the news lately and falling out of love seems to be happening a lot more frequently than people are falling in love, the situation isn't exclusive to men.  Losing those loving feelings for your husband or boyfriend can happen just as easily to women.  If you've experienced this in the past or maybe you're going through it with your partner now, the first step is to be aware of why it's happening.  Follow these five reasons your fairy-tale romance could be slipping away:
1. Feeling Adored
It's important that a woman feels appreciated by her partner.  Men are usually good at this in the beginning of a relationship when it's still new, but as the novelty ends, the attention may die down, too.  Just look at Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer.  She broke up with him because he was obsessed with Twitter, telling her that he was too busy for her, but in the meantime, his Twitter page was saturated.
2. Bored to Tears
We want excitement!  And, if we can't have that, give us variety.  If a relationship gets into a rut and you end up doing the same things every weekend or having sex in the same positions every time, a woman can get bored and lose interest altogether.  Both people need to put some work into the relationship or they'll find themselves quickly falling out of love.
3. Honeymoon is Over
Sometimes, we can be completely unrealistic and think that our relationship will turn out alright because "we love each other so much."  Unfortunately, that's not always the case.  Once the honeymoon phase is over, the reality of the relationship can be a slap in the face.  Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock were married for a mere four months before they called it quits.  Both agreed that it was time to end it, and Pam said that they just weren't meant to be together.  It's easy to ignore all of the red flags when you're caught up in romance and passion.
4. Lack of Chemistry
Most women are looking for that spark that makes them feel all tingly and giggly whenever their man touches or looks at them.  However, a relationship can't be built on sparks alone.  Eventually they will fade if the relationship doesn't have substance.
5. Emotionally Disconnected
Poor communication (or no communication at all) is one of the main reasons women fall out of love.  We need to feel connected to our partners emotionally as well as physically in order to love and be loved.  When there's little communication, some women will shut down.  Maria Shriver was extremely unhappy in her marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Apparently, they hadn't been spending much time together in the last few years, and she was frequently absent from Sacramento where Arnold was the governor.  If that doesn't signal a problem, nothing does.
It happens to the best of us.  Sometimes we just fall out of love, but if you don't want to be another divorce rate statistic and want to make it work with your partner, use these five signs as a starting place to determine what may be going wrong and see if there's a way to fix it before it's too late.

A method of sculpturing using solid plastic configurations, such as blocks, and in which a general shape is formed and liquid plastic is poured in a multiplicity of steps over the general shape while utilizing means for controlling the plastic flow in order to achieve the desired shape. Another method of sculpturing with plastic material is set forth whereby a solid plastic block is drilled internally and the holes are fractured to form an internal sculpture.

A method of sculpturing in a pre-molded, solid plastic form comprising drilling a plurality of pilot holes in one end of said plastic from, chipping and cracking said internal holes whereby said holes merge or semi-merge in order to form an internal sculpture with said one being at least partially open, and placing the open end of said sculpture on top of a lighted light transmitting base whereby the fractured internal holes and interior of the plastic from are irradiated.
The present application is a divisional application of co-pending application Ser. No. 459,532, filed on APR. 10, 1974, now abandoned.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of sculpturing plastic to make recognizable and aesthetically pleasing forms from an initial general shape. Another object of the present invention is to internally sculpture a plastic form, such as a block, and thereby create a sculpture that achieves a startling effect with internal lighting.
The invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the first step of the sculpturing method in accordance with the teachings of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the shape formed by the method after the liquid plastic is poured a number of times over the original general shape;
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the resultant sculpture after a number of further pouring steps;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a clear plastic block having internal holes that are fractured to form an internal sculpture in accordance with the teachings of the present invention; and
FIG. 4a is a perspective view of the pilot holes in the block.
This invention is directed to a method of sculpturing by initially setting up translucent plastic cubes or balls in a pattern to a general desired shape. The cubes or balls are connected together by means of a solvent and to a transparent plastic plate. Thereafter, a liquid resin mixture is produced constituting a polyester resin or equivalent in its liquid state that is mixed with a catalyst MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) or equivalent. Prior to adding the catalyst to the liquid plastic, the color, if any, is mixed in a container and added to the plastic solution and can be translucent or opaque. After the liquid plastic is mixed until hardening is about to take place, at that precise moment, the liquid plastic is poured over the above-mentioned general desired shape. The flow of the liquid plastic is controlled by sticks or by the former's fingers, and the control of the layer of liquid plastic is achieved while the same is setting on the general form. The step of pouring liquid plastic over the general shape is repeated many times in order to build the structure up in layers until the ultimate desired form is achieved. It should be noted that any of the plastic layers can be either clear or colored. Furthermore, the general desired shape can be turned or manipulated to achieve the desired liquid flow by gravity. At least twelve, and up to twenty, pouring steps of very thin layers of plastic are utilized in the present invention.
After the sculpture is completed, the same is placed over a projected light, so that the light rays penetrate the interior of the sculpture resulting in an aesthetically beautiful structure. Thus, the foregoing method is a progressive sculpture constituting many layers of liquid plastic that harden to the desired configuration.
If it is necessary to have small, delicate sections in the sculpture, these sections can be pre-shaped apart from the sculpture and attached with a pouring step, causing the sections to fuse into the large sculpture.
The desirable mixture of acrylic resin and catalyst is one to three ounces of acrylic resin to one ounce catalyst, depending upon the hardness required at each pouring step.
Referring to FIGS. 1--3, it will be observed that FIG. 1 illustrates a general form consisting of plastic blocks and balls 10 which are mounted on a transparent plate 12. The liquid plastic 14, as described hereinbefore, is poured over the pre-arranged blocks and balls 10 is successive steps in order to achieve the desired configuration and as shown in FIG. 3, and thereafter mount the same on top of the light transmitting base 13 provided with a light bulb 15.
As seen in FIG. 4, the present method of internal sculpturing comprises the use of clear translucently colored pre-molded, solid configuration plastic blocks or balls of any size, which can be an acrylic resin or any plastic compound. The sculpturing is accomplished by working from one side of the block or ball and penetrating the acrylic resin or plastic by means of a drill, either electric or hand. The penetration of the block is in the form of spaced pilot holes of any width which may be drilled to varying depths. The depths and widths of the pilot holes vary and determine the magnitude of internal structure.
After the pilot holes have been selectively placed in the acrylic or plastic block, the desired design is created by semi-controlled fracturing, cracking, and chipping the plastic in the walls of each of the pilot holes. The walls of adjacent holes can be so fractured that they merge or semi-merge into one or more larger holes. The result of this operation is the formation of an internal stalactitic and stalagmitic pattern or an internal irregular crystalizing structure. The open end of the formation of the acrylic resin block is placed over a light transmitting base 22 housing a light bulb which projects light up into the interior of the formation. The light can be various colors, thereby altering the aesthetic effect.
It should be pointed out that the internal fracturing of the acrylic resin block never damages the exterior of the block. The block walls remain planar and undamaged.
Hardened metal instruments are used for fracturing the acrylic resin or plastic, and the overall results of this method are to produce, for example, landscapes, ocean scenes, human or animal bodies.
FIG. 4a illustrates a solid plastic block 16 in which pilot holes have been drilled into the bottom surface 17. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the holes are chipped and broken in order to produce internal fractured formations 20. The block 16 is thereafter placed on a light-transmitting base 22 and a light bulb 24 located underneath the base projects light up through the top of the base and irradiates the interior and the internal holes in the block 16.

Mushy Brakes
by Bob DeP. firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Bob,
I have checked my '88 Jetta's brake pads, rotors and brake fluid levels and everything's perfect. When I step on the brake hard, the pedal feels like mush. It goes to the floor and the braking ability is almost nonexistent. I have to pump them in these situations, rather than just stomping on it. My dad said it could be the booster or the master cylinder. They also squeal occasionally. There are no leaks, either. Any ideas?
You have classic signs of a worn or malfunctioning master cylinder. If it was the booster, the pedal would be very hard to push. If it feels like much and goes all the way to the floor, it is the master cylinder (usually). On one occasion, where I had classic symptoms such as yours, the problem turned out to be a leaky rear wheel brake cylinder. So check there first, because wheel cylinders are a whole bunch easier to change than the master!
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

Mystery Daylily
I sent photos of this one to Gene Wynn today, because the name marker has disappeared. I don't think this one bloomed last year. It's in my Magnolia bed, and things have a hard time there. It's the flower bed that's outside my kitchen window, so the one I see the most. So I keep trying. This flowerbed used to be full of different types of flowers before the magnolia got so big. I've sent photos of this one last week, but it's really producing much nicer flowers now.
Thanks so much Kay and Debra. Neither of those ring a bell. This is a evergreen daylily. Are either of those evergreen? Hopefully I'll hear from Gene and he'll know. I have my list of the ones I've purchased and for some reason did not write that one down and the stick biodegraded or blew away. I wish daylilies would bloom all year, or at least through the summer.
