Zombies Attack Downtown Paducah!
By Angela Hatton
Paducah, KY – Be careful going down Broadway in Paducah tomorrow, you may run into a zombie. A group of local residents is hosting a "Zombie Walk" Saturday evening. What's that, you ask? An international phenomenon, a Zombie Walk is a chance for average citizens to dress up as zombies and march en masse down city streets. Oh, and did we mention it's for charity? Angela Hatton has this interview with organizer Richie Edwards.
Participation in the Zombie Walk is free but canned goods or charitable cash donations are accepted. All proceeds benefit the McCracken County Family Service Society and the Paducah Renaissance Alliance. Area filmmakers will also be on hand to record the event. The walk begins at 5:30 PM at the corner of 9th and Broadway.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Facebook changes puzzling
A recent decision by Facebook to limit the content we see in our newsfeeds could have far-reaching and potentially deleterious unintended consequences for the global nonprofit and advocacy communities.
When the ubiquitous social network changed its algorithm to limit "organic reach" — the number of Facebook users who can potentially see any single piece of content in their newsfeed — the move was characterized as a way for the company to extract additional advertising revenue from corporate brands.
By limiting the ability of corporations to reach consumers, Facebook made the calculation that companies will pay to advertise on the social network to reach these same users.
Regardless of whether or not this proves to be a sound business decision, corporate brands like Pepsi, Nike and Geico will likely be able to absorb the additional advertising costs without experiencing a significant impact on their bottom lines.
The consequences, however, will be felt much more acutely by the many nonprofit organizations now subject to the same reduction in reach — reportedly down to only 1 or 2 percent of all followers. A nonprofit advocacy group with 5,000 followers, for example, might issue a critical call to action that is only seen by 50 of its followers.
The majority of nonprofit organizations do not have budgets for paid advertising. Most are operating on shoestring budgets, focusing on keeping their doors open during challenging economic times and finding a way to fulfill their core mission with fewer resources than ever before.
Yet many of these same nonprofit organizations have invested considerable time and financial resources in creating an active Facebook community, including encouraging members to join, training members how to interact with others on the site, and dedicating staff resources to maintaining pages populated with dynamic content.
For many nonprofits, Facebook has become an integral extension of the organization — a way to disseminate critical information in a timely manner, a fundraising tool, and a launch-pad for legislative advocacy. Thousands of nonprofits that work every day to improve human rights, gender equality, the environment, access to medical care, economic conditions, and the environment, among many other issues, have used Facebook to expand their reach into global communities. Beginning in 2011, the Global Healthy Living Foundation has convened thousands of health nonprofits at the annual Digital Health Advocacy Summit to discuss new mechanics and applications of social media tools like Facebook, and the pressing issues facing patients with chronic diseases. In a survey of social media and executive directors attending last year, 58 percent of patient and provider groups feel that social media is "extremely important" for advocating for their constituents.
The rug has now been pulled out from under many of these groups.
There is little doubt that Facebook can be a transformative force for good — we have seen its potential in places like Egypt during Arab Spring and in local neighborhood Facebook groups during recent U.S. weather emergencies. In health care, Facebook has helped bring the voices of the homebound and infirmed to the halls of Congress and state legislatures. It has provided instant product recall information to unknowing patients minutes away from ingesting faulty therapeutics. It has become a place where patients and families battling countless conditions find community and support from others.
But the transformative power of Facebook — like the popularity of the site itself — is neither preordained nor guaranteed going forward. If nonprofit groups are no longer able to effectively reach the communities of followers they have worked hard to cultivate, they may be forced to look to recreate these communities elsewhere. How can you have a revolution if no one shows up? In the midst of a pivotal moment in patient engagement and empowerment, our microphone has been turned off. We recruited an audience to fill the room and then suddenly, only those in the first few rows can hear us.
Facebook is a business and as such is entitled to its business model. But as it strives to please shareholders and drive up its bottom line, it should be mindful not to inadvertently choke off the ability of nonprofit organizations to provide others with the help they need.
Facebook promises that the site is "free and always will be." We urge Facebook to live up to the spirit of its motto and grant nonprofit organizations a waiver from the new reduction in organic reach.

Pot pourri of Halloween Decor
Here are some random pics of some of my other Halloween decorations.
These mice silhouettes were from Martha Stewart's halloween ideas and I cut them out of black craft foam so they would last for years.
The Trick or Treat Front Porch Kid was a GoodWill find last year.
The items on the mantle are a witch that was in a package of fall leaves from the TS, the wooden dish was ARC, the Dollar Tree raven is perched on a white .99 TS wooden candlestick with some black and orange checked ribbon, and a fall garland from another TS.
The orange candles are also TS this year. The burgundy ones are up there most of the year.
I painted this Haunted House in ceramics in 1981.
I use a green Christmas Tree bulb to give it an eerie glow.
I also have some Halloween themed books next to the Haunted House.
Candy, I love the little ceramic house you painted, it really looks great with the green light too. That was very clever of you to cut the MS mice out of craft foam instead of paper. I have those patterns but haven't done anything with them yet. Was the foam easy to cut with scissors? I had thought about cutting them out of wood, but I think your idea would be easier. I really like the witch's shoe plate on your mantel, and garland always ties everything together so well. I can't believe you found that great front porch kid at the TS--what a cutie! Your home looks very festive, and I've sure enjoyed seeing all your Halloween decorations this year. TFS. Luvs
Those mice sneaking around your staircase are quite unique! Great idea for preserving them! I also like the witch shoe plate...cute...reminds me of those stockings Lynn found for her mantel. And your ceramic haunted house...great pc & green light is perfect!
Yes, have enjoyed everything for Fall/Halloween so much! TFS all your ideas!
Jeanne S.
Ohhhh, I want one of those darling little Halloween kids . . . I love yours, Candy! What a great display there by your stairs. Cutting your mice out of foam board was a great idea. Thanks for sharing that one with us. It's definitely a keeper
Wow! I love that pumpkin near the stairs! It's so cute!
Because of some things that happened in our lives this year, I haven't decorated for Halloween :( But promise, next year, I'll do the decorations and will do the best I can to find at least one Halloween house! This one is so terrific!
Thank you everyone.
Lynne, the mice could go along the baseboard anywhere in the house. You could even cut out a mousehole and put that on the baseboard!
Lynn, it is actually the soft craft foam, not foam board.
It was really easy to cut.
I love your mantel with the fall leaves and berries. The plate caught my eye but I really like the raven up there on top of the candlestick. How funny!
The haunted house is of course unique. You must have had great fun using it all these years. And the green light is a great idea!
Magpie, jot down ANOTHER idea for next year--build a haunted house.

Milk goat kicking
I have tried and tried to get her to stop kicking when I milk her. I hobble her, above the hock tightly so it presses the tendon which should in theory stop her from kicking. Nope. She still manages to raise her leg about 4 inches, which is just enough to kick over a bucket. The hobble gets in the way, so when she raises her leg it traps my hand between it and her and hurts like heck. Any ideas on how to get her to stop? The only time she is easy is when she is eating grain, but she eats it so dang fast that I can't get her completely milked out. And I don't want to upset her digestive system by giving her too much. I put large rocks in the bottom of the grain bucket to get it to take her longer but it just isn't long enough. Any thoughts?
Hobbling one leg raised is a great idea. I also try to milk into something small which I empty into the larger bucket so I don't lose all of the milk at one good kick. I use a small stainless steel bowl I can hold in one hand and pour it into my larger bucket.
Good luck.
I'm going to assume you have already checked her udder and teats and orifices for cuts, scratches, soremouth, sunburn, lumps, scar tissue, edema and ruled out mastitis via a card test, and finally that there aren't lice, flies or mosquitoes bothering her. I'm assuming that, but if you haven't, do so. Any of those conditions will be uncomfortable for the animal and yes, it will actively do it's best to prevent you from even touching the udder.
Is she raising a kid? Try putting her kid up by you at the back of the stand so the doe will think she's nursing her kid, not just having her milk stolen.
You mention that the doe doesn't kick if she's eating; how much are you feeding her (in pounds) and how much is she milking? (in pounds) A doe in milk needs at least 2 to 3 pounds of feed per day. Basically, allow 1/3 a pound for each pint of milk, plus at least a half pound for the doe to maintain her body weight. Maybe she just wants more food?
How is your milking technique? Have you been milking long? No offense, but are you sure you're doing it right? Does the doe only kick with one foot or both? Do any of your other does offer to kick, or just this one? Have you tried switching hands (right hand on left teat, left hand on right teat) to rule out any twisting or pulling you might unintentionally be doing?
Also, four inches isn't very high; how deep is the bucket you're using? You can try using a deeper bucket, one that both her teats and most of her udder will fit inside with enough room for your hands over the rim to get the job done.
It's always better to train the goat to let you milk it without kicking or having to force it. (though some will stand with a foot raised off the ground the entire time, not actually kicking) If you've ruled out any damage to the animal, or any mechanical problem with how you're milking, you can hobble the goat. Is your stanchion wood? Use two eye bolts screwed into the corners of the base at the back, and make loops of soft fabric (like braided T shirt material) that can be threaded through the eye bolts, and looped around the pasterns to hold both the back feet down.
Or, use the soft braided t shirt material to tie a front leg up; bend it at the knee and tie so the pastern is almost touching the elbow. It's a natural position for the leg to bend, and as long as you don't tie it too tight, it won't hurt her. The ideal is to hold the leg where she can't put her weight on that leg at all. Tying one back leg just means she will put her weight on her front legs to kick, but "eliminating" a front leg means she will stand because she can't balance.

VIEWS: 3 CATEGORY: Image Analysis POSTED ON: 9/20/2010
This invention relates to methods and systems for processing digital objects. More particularly the invention concerns methods and systems for protecting digital objects.BACKGROUNDThe use of networked computers has greatly increased the volume of on line purchases and exchange of goods. For example, the Internet is capable of bringing sellers and buyers together in a manner that has never before been possible. Thisconfluence of buyers and sellers has contributed greatly to an increase in the use and sale of digital goods. Digital goods are digital objects that can be transmitted from a seller to a buyer using a network media such as the Internet. For example,individuals, using appropriate browsing software, can browse sound bytes from a compact disc (CD) before making an online purchase of the CD. This gives the buyer an opportunity to determine whether they think they would like the purchased product. Asanother example, consider digital objects in the form of digital images such as pictures or photographs. There is a large market that exists for digital images that can be purchased on line. For example, a photographer may have his portfolio on line sothat individuals interested in the photographs can browse them before making a purchase decision. Consider also a freelance news photographer that uses the online media to post a unique photograph associated with a newsworthy event. The online mediacan provide unprecedented quick access to a pool of potential purchasers that can help the photographer sell his photograph.Yet, there are risks that are associated with providing unprotected access to digital goods. For example, it is not difficult for unscrupulous individuals to steal unprotected, or even protected digital goods that are accessible via theInternet. This happens everyday.FIG. 1 shows an exemplary network system that can support the online sale or exchange of digital objects. The system includes one or more clients 10, a network such as the Int

Spearmint..When to harvest?
Naturalchick27(6)July 22, 2011
I planted spearmint from seed 2 or 3 months ago and it is now close to 2ft tall. It's in a pot, gets afternoon sun and morning shade. I water 3x a week. Recently I have been watering more frequently because of the heatwave in my area. When should I harvest it? Also, it doesn't smell like mint. I haven't tasted it yet.

Jim Kaszyk is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry. He served as a medical lab tech at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine during the Vietnam War and went on to become a toxicologist and researcher.
When his father developed a serious heart condition, Jim became inspired by his father's preference for holistic and alternative medical solutions to start researching the works of Dr. Richard Gerber, M.D., author of the seminal book Vibrational Medicine, and that of renowned Yale researcher Dr. Harold Burr.
In 1989, after founding Kasz Enterprises, Jim created a unique .quantum chemical process named catalyst chemistry, which led to the discovery of new kinds of hair and skin care formulas. Tests showed the skin care product, The Ageless Secret, produced plumping and tightening of the skin partly from the expansion of water.
In 2014 The William A. Tiller Research Labs proved one of the greatest discoveries in Science, Jim had accidently discovered a new form of Subtle Energy. Prior to this discovery, Subtle Energy was considered to be a "theoretical energy". These Subtle Energy discoveries led to a new Theory of Aging...The Subtle Energy Theory of Aging. Because Subtle Energy is an organizing energy that is vibrating at speeds in excess of the speed light, the implications for science and health and beauty are enormous.

County to study employee compensationPublished 10:42am Monday, November 19, 2012 Updated 12:43pm Monday, November 19, 2012
A new plan for compensation could affect both union and non-union county workers.
According to OTC Administrator Larry Krohn, the study is being done to provide updated information.
"We have to comply with Minnesota pay equity laws," said Krohn. "We have to file a report every three years to the state on compensation. The last time a study like this was done was 13 years ago."
The county has contracted with Fox Lawason and Associates, a division of Gallager Benefit Services of St. Paul, to conduct a study which would review job performance and compensation of county employees. Fox Lawson will then assist the county with a compensation plan.
The process of enacting a new plan calls for recommendations form the county employee personnel board going to the county's personnel committee, and then to the county board committee as a whole.
Krohn says there may be minor adjustments, but he does not anticipate any major changes because of the study.
A new plan is expected to be put in place shortly after the first of the year.

Thepade2, Akshay Maloo3 1 Senior Professor, 2Ph.D.Research Scholar & Associate Professor, 3B.Tech (CE) Student Computer Engineering Department, MPSTME, SVKM"s NMIMS (Deemed-to-be University), Mumbai, India 1 firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com,email@example.com Abstract— The paper presents an innovative content based image [5,18], criminal investigations [23], image search on the retrieval (CBIR) technique based on row mean of column Internet [9,19,20]. transformed even and odd part of image. Here the performance of proposed CBIR technique is tested for different transforms A. Content Based Image Retrieval like Walsh transform, Haar transform and Kekre transform. In literature the term content based image retrieval (CBIR) Instead of using all pixels of image as feature vector for image has been used for the first time by Kato et.al. [4], to describe retrieval, row mean of transform applied on columns of odd and his experiments into automatic retrieval of images from a even part of image is used, resulting into better performance with database by colour and shape feature. The typical CBIR system much lower computations. The proposed CBIR techniques are tested on generic image database having 1000 images spread performs two major tasks [16,17]. The first being feature across 11. For each transform 55 queries (5 per category) were extraction (FE), where a set of features, called feature vector, is fired. Then the precision and recall for all queries are computed. generated to accurately represent the content of each image in While considering the relevance of result images for calculation the database. The second task is similarity measurement (SM), of precision and recall the results of odd image part and even where distance between the query image and each image in the image part both are ORED. The average precision and average database using their feature vectors is used to retrieve the top recall values of all queries gives the performance comparison of "closest" images [16,17]. For feature extraction in CBIR there proposed CBIR methods as compared to considering full image are mainly two approaches [5] feature extraction in spatial data as feature vector or considering the simple row mean as domain and feature extraction in transform domain. The feature feature vector. The results have shown the performance extraction in spatial domain includes CBIR techniques based improvement (higher precision and recall values) with proposed on histograms [5], BTC [1,2,16], VQ [21]. The transform methods compared to all pixel data of image at reduced domain methods are widely used in image compression, as they computations resulting in faster retrieval. The comparison of give high energy compaction in transformed image [17,24]. So transforms for CBIR performance gives Walsh transform it is obvious to use images in transformed domain for feature surpassing the other two considered here. extraction in CBIR [23]. But taking transform of image is time consuming, this complexity is reduced to a great extent by the Keywords-content based image retrival (CBIR), row mean, proposed technique. Reducing the size of feature vector using Walsh transform, Haar transform, Kekre transform. pure image pixel data in spatial domain only and till getting the I. INTRODUCTION improvement in performance of image retrieval is the theme of the work presented. Many current CBIR systems use Euclidean The large numbers of images are being generated from a distance [1-3,8-14] on the extracted feature set as a similarity variety of sources (digital camera, video, scanner, the internet measure. The Direct Euclidian Distance between image P and etc.) which have posed technical challenges to computer query image Q can be given as equation 1, where Vpi and Vqi systems to store/transmit and index/manage image data are the feature vectors of image P and Query image Q effectively to make such large collections easily accessible. respectively with size "n". Image compression deals with the challenge of storage and transmission, where significant advancements have been made n [1,4]. The challenge to image indexing is studied in the context ED (Vpi Vqi ) i 1 2 (1) of image database [2,6,7,10,11], which has become one of the most promising and important research area for researchers from a wide range of disciplines like computer vision, image II. IMAGE TRANSFORMS processing and database areas. The thirst of better and faster image retrieval techniques is increasing day by day. Some of The various transforms [5,24] used for proposed CBIR important applications for CBIR technology could be identified techniques are discussed below: as art galleries [12,14], museums, archaeology [3], architecture design [8,13], geographic information systems [6], trademark databases [21,22], weather forecast [5,21], medical imaging 79 http://sites.google.com/site/ijcsis/ ISSN 1947-5500 (IJCSIS) International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security, Vol. 08, No.05, 2010 A. Walsh Transform diagonal and diagonal values of Kekre"s transform matrix are The Walsh transform matrix [5,18] is defined as a set of N one, while the lower diagonal part except the values just below rows, denoted Wj, for j = 0, 1, ... , N - 1, which have the diagonal is zero. following properties: Generalized NxNKekre"s transform matrix can be given as: • Wj takes on the values +1 and -1. 1 1 1 .. 1 1 • Wj[0] = 1 for all j. N 1 1 1 .. 1 1 • Wj xWkT=0, for j k and Wj xWkT =N, for j=k. 0 N 2 1 .. 1 1 • Wj has exactly j zero crossings, for j = 0, 1, ...., N-1. K NxN (2) • Each row Wj is either even or odd w.r.t. to its midpoint. 0 0 0 .. 1 1 0 0 0 .. N ( N 1) 1 B. Haar Transform The formula for generating the term Kxy of Kekre"s This sequence was proposed in 1909 by AlfrédHaar. Haar transform matrix is: used these functions to give an example of a countable orthonormal system for the space of square-integrable (3) functions on the real line [24]. The study of wavelets, and even the term "wavelet", did not come until much later. The Haar wavelet is also the simplest possible wavelet. The technical disadvantage of the Haar wavelet is that it is not III. PROPOSED TECHNIQUE continuous, and therefore not differentiable. This property can, however, be an advantage for the analysis of signals with The CBIR technique given in [24] has been extended here. sudden transitions, such as monitoring of tool failure in In [24] the feature vector considered for CBIR is row mean of machines. column transformed image. Here first the odd part and even part of image are obtained using it"s mirror image. Then transform is applied on each column of obtained images to C. Kekre"s Transform calculate feature vector, image retrieval is done using both Kekre"s transform matrix is the generic version of Kekre"s feature vectors (F1 & F2). The obtained results are combined LUV color space matrix [1,18]. Kekre"s transform matrix can using OR operator to obtain the final results. Figure 1 shows be of any size NxN, which need not have to be in powers of 2 the feature extraction in proposed CBIR technique with row (as is the case with most of other transforms). All upper mean [25] of transformed image columns. Figure 1 Feature Extraction in Proposed CBIR Technique using row means of column transformed even and odd part of image 80 http://sites.google.com/site/ijcsis/ ISSN 1947-5500 (IJCSIS) International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security, Vol. 08, No.05, 2010 R R N R N R Sorted Image Index for Even Part (P1) R R N N R R Sorted Image Index for Odd Part (P2) R R N R R R Result Image Index after using OR operator Figure 2 How OR operator is used in proposed CBIR technique The feature extraction steps for proposed image retrieval method can be given as follows. 1. Calculate the mirror image across Y-axis of the query image. 2. Using the image and its mirror image to calculate the Even Image (P1) and Odd image (P2). When you add both P1 and P2 you get the original image back. 3. Apply transform T on the column of P1 and P2 images of size NxN (INxN) to get column transformed images of the same size (cINxN) cINxN (column transformed) = [TNxN] [INxN] (4) 4. Calculate row mean of column transformed image to get feature vector of size N (instead of N2). We get two feature vectors for Even and Odd part (F1 & F2). 5. Then Euclidean Distance is applied and the results are sorted in ascending order for both feature vectors. The Figure 3 Sample Images from Generic Image Database obtained results are combined using OR operator as [Image database contains total 1000 images with 11 categories] seen in figure 2, to calculate precision and recall for the proposed technique. C. Precision/Recall To assess the retrieval effectiveness, we have used the The proposed technique is applied for three different transforms to see where the best performance is obtained. The precision and recall as statistical comparison parameters [1,2] results are compared with applying transform on full image and for the proposed CBIR techniques. The standard definitions row mean on image (without column transform). for these two measures are given by following equations. The figure 2 shows how OR operator is used in proposed Number _ of _ relevant _ images _ retrieved CBIR techniques. Here the "R" is relevant image retrieved and Pr ecision (4) Total _ number _ of _ images _ retrieved "N" is non-relevant image retrieved.

Bathroom remodel layout help
We are planning a complete gut and remodel of our current master bathroom. I have attached a photo of our current plans, but wanted to get an outside perspective. One of my biggest concerns is the access area into the tub as I feel it might be too small. The other concern I have is the shower, one of our biggest complaints is our current small 3x3 corner shower, and we both would like a much larger shower with seat. I think this new shower will be large enough, but i'm not sure.
Now to explain the current plan a little. Where the vanity meats the tub, will be a half wall, about 6" higher then the vanity. All of the exterior walls have to stay, and the entry door needs to stay on the same wall, but can be shifted all the way left or as far right as the start of the water closet. Currently, there is a wall, about 5ft from the left wall, which we are removing (that area used to be a walk in closet. The water closet currently does not exist, and the shower is currently in that corner. The toilet is currently about where the proposed water closet starts. Due to plumbing, the toilet can move anywhere along the outer wall that the door is located on as that's the direction of the floor joists. The tub is not mandatory, but we do currently have a soaking tub in that location underneath the window. We had considered putting the shower where the tub is, but decided against it due to the window.
Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. We had hired a interior designer, but to be honest, she wasn't much help.
I like the floor plan you have. If you to put a 3 X 5 shower with the 5 ft along the wall with the door and one longer vanity in instead of two vanities you would only have a 3 foot 10 inch foot wide aisle between the shower and vanity.
I like the open arrangement you have now with two sinks and I think the shower sounds great. If you wanted more tub access, perhaps you could cut back the vanity next to the tub by a foot and make the tub ledge extend over to the vanity in that area and use it as a seat to get in and out of the tub. Perhaps your ledge is already big enough to sit on and you could drop your half wall a couple more inches.
One of the biggest things the wife wants, is separate vanities. Not sure if I should take that personally or not. :P
The previous layout we had come up with prior to this one, had the shower where the toilet is, an L-shaped vanity in the back corner where the shower is and the longer vanity. The water closet was to the left of the door where the small vanity is. In that design, the shower us much larger, and there was a nice small entryway hallway that would add a nice transition space from the bedroom to bathroom, but the overall bathroom was not as open.
My thoughts were along the same line as Karenseb: put both sinks in the longer vanity section and extend the shower all along the left wall to give yourself a nicely sized shower and keep the tub under the window.
Alternatively I would consider putting the tub on the wall where you currently have the shower located and putting the shower in the section where you have the tub. You could have a slightly narrower tub area and perhaps you could separate the two vanity sinks on the long wall with a small cabinetry tower.

The Indiana State University theater department opens the contemporary drama "Norway" on Wednesday, Nov. 16 in the New Theater, 536 N. Seventh Street.
This riveting and compelling mystery, directed by associate professor Julie Dixon, follows the character Brent, a young gay man who travels the country, lecturing and playing reinventions of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata. Ten years ago in Lewiston, Idaho, Brent and Andy were best friends. Now Brent travels from town to town, Andy secretly follows. But when Andy commits suicide by freezing to death in a Walmart parking lot, his dad is left to unravel the mystery of why.
"Norway" was written by playwright Samuel D. Hunter, a rising star in the American theater whose plays saw five different productions across the country last year. The work addresses many challenging issues, including suicide, bullying, Christian thought, being gay in a small town, and the pull of familial love and loyalty against the love of a friend in the fragile teenage years.
The members of the three-person cast includes junior theater major Joe Wagner, who plays Brent and was last seen as Saturninus in the 2011 SpringStage production of Titus Andronicus; sophomore theater major Charles Adams who plays Mark and was Creon in Antigone earlier this semester, and senior Jimi Bothwell, who plays Andy, appeared last spring as Lucius in Titus Andronicus.
Department of theater faculty and staff designed the set (Ann Warren), costumes (Sherry McFadden), lights (Michael Jackson) and media (Chris Berchild). Student designers include Natalie Cappucci, who designed sound and Brian Kogut, who designed properties.
The show runs through Saturday, Nov. 19. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. in the New Theater. The show runs approximately 90 minutes with one intermission. Due to subject matter, this show is for mature audiences only.
Tickets are $7 for the general public and free to any student with a student ID.

Is this a familiar story? Isolated products create coverage gaps, impair visibility, sap budget, and leave incident responders dealing with targeted attacks scrambling and reacting. Employees become exhausted as attacks keep getting more subtle, complex, and hard to detect until after damage is done. And your board is demanding better information and confidence that business data, reputation, and systems are secure.
There's a better way to secure your business.
Use the open Security Connected platform from McAfee as a unified, adaptive framework for encouraging McAfee and third-party products and services to learn from each other, share threat intelligence and context in real time, and act as a team to keep data and networks safe. It's a sustainable way for your organization to reduce risk, incident volume and response time, and lower overhead and operational staff costs. While Security Connected is built with innovative technologies like a real-time messaging bus and collective threat intelligence, its biggest value is the daily optimized processes that empower your cybersecurity staff while helping your security posture.
|California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
"By taking advantage of the McAfee suite of products, managing security has been a big cost avoidance."
|Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC)
"My advice to anyone looking at security solutions is to focus on integration."
|Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) in Colorado
"Instead of focusing 80% of our time and resources on compliance with regulations such as PCI and HIPAA and 20% on real security risk improvement, the idea was to flip that."
Government of New Brunswick (GNB)
A strong defense against compromise involves three layers: hardening devices, securing communications, and monitoring behavior. If criminals breach data security and steal credit card numbers or personal information, your company suffers loss of reputation and potentially significant intangible costs. If they breach security of your cyber-physical control systems, you could be facing damage or destruction […]

The ABC series Once Upon a Time had two master puppeteers among its characters, and they have a very strong historical connection. Now only one of them stands alive. Some OUAT fans have called it as early as Season 1: they were once in-love with each other. Many things have changed in Storybrooke since the curse was broken, but the most dramatic change has to be Snow White.
Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for those who have not seen OUAT Season 2, Episode 16, "The Miller's Daughter."
Rumplestiltskin aka The Dark One must be evil in the general public's eyes. As bad as Rumple is, he has always had a heart. In fact, in the last season, he gave Prince Charming a rather romantic speech on how sweet and beautiful love was in his life -- until she died. Well that's because he thought Belle, the Beauty to his Beast side, had died. But long before Belle, he had also loved someone else. Rumple was in love with the Queen of Hearts, a puppet master and master schemer like himself. And the Queen of Hearts aka Cora, loved him back. Except she loved power more than him, so she took her own heart for more power. Now you sympathize with Rumple.
The man lost his wife to Captain Hook. He became the Dark One to save his son from the evil ways of the land. If he had not encountered the Seer, he would have been better off as a man. Regina, the only daughter of his ex, schemed to make him believe he lost another loved one to death. A lot of all the things he has done, he's done to get to his son, Baelfire. Sometimes Rumple can be so vulnerable and so loveable. Until he encourages Snow White to kill someone.
Cora, the Queen of Hearts and Regina's mother, was born to a hopeless sloth of a miller. Queen Eva, Snow White's mother and great grandmother to Henry Miller, had done Cora wrong in the past, a long time ago -- long before she was queen and a mother. (OUAT is the longest, most complicated modern day fairy tale we've ever seen.) So Cora poisoned Eva to death, and vowed to make a bad legacy out of her daughter. And then Cora schemed so her daughter Regina would be a queen. In the heart of all these was the young Snow White. Cora had tried to trick the little girl into using dark magic to stain Eva's legacy. But Snow's heart was pure. And now, so many decades later, Rumple has turned Snow into a murderer. (Granted, she killed a real bad villain, but still.)
Love him or hate him, Rumple lives on to take care of his family. He has enjoyed a dying moment with his son, and he may have just woke Belle up from a memory coma. Meanwhile, Snow White deals with the consequence of what she's done -- Regina's wrath. There are only a couple of OUAT episodes left this season. The viewers are in for an action-filled season finale.

The mini grills are a Christmas ornament that a store was having a "Christmas in July".I made a few changes to them, and I didn't add anyones name.

This is such a fun table.
A perfect table for a BBQ on a hot summer day.
I love that you used the milk bottles as glasses.
The little grills and salt and pepper shakers are soo cute.

Thanks for Sharing!!
PS: What time do we eat?
Bingham, glad you are joining us!
This table is perfect in every detail, from the gingham napkins to the little grills and I'm loving that big ant. I'd have snatched him up too!!
The canning jars are a whimsical choice for glassware. Makes me want a big glass of ice cold lemonade!!

The ant tray was a wonderful find for this table. Gingham napkins are perfect for a BBQ table and sweet little S & P shakers. Milk bottles and straws are sweet too.
Hope you will continue to stop by and post.
Bing, I'm so sorry to be late with welcoming you to our Gang. Glad you found us. (did you also find our Inspiration albums on Photobucket? They cover all the holidays AND tablesettings.

It was a pleasure to host for Alison, even though her stay was a brief one. She is a very pleasant, conversational and considerate guest who made it clear she appreciated the service we could offer her. It was nice to meet her.
What a lovely couple. Alison and her husband stayed with us for the best part of a week and it was a pleasure. They were interesting as well as clean, tidy, courteous and friendly too. We would very happy to have them stay with us again.
Alison and her daughter were lovely guests. They slotted into my home like friends do, which was great.
Alison was a pleasure to host. A lovely character with a kind and genuine personality. I hope she keeps in contact now as Promised..! I would highly Recommend Alison to any future Airbnb Host.
