- Charles Avsharian, Shar CEO
"Why do I love the Lamberti violins? Because they allow my students to have a bright, clear-sounding instrument that both projects and is very sweet to the ear. Parents will enjoy hearing their child practice all afternoon on this violin and so will the student."

Available in 4/4 - 1/16 sizes.
Our original Carlo Lamberti violin, developed by Charles Avsharian, Shar CEO, continues to be very popular among advancing players and their teachers. The reason is that it offers a warm, sweet tone with a variety of tonal colors at a price that is hundreds less than violins of equal capabilities. This vioiln is made entirely by hand in China to our exacting specifications. Quality craftsmanship, tasteful hand-varnish, striking wood flaming, premium fittings and strings all combine to make these exceptional violins... yet each has itsown unique voice and look.
There is an amazing variety of violins being made in China today, at every playing level and at every possible level of quality. Frankly, there are so many that locating a violin of high quality is a real art. Our Carlo Lamberti violins are made by hand in just four workshops, among the very finest in all of China. These are the workshops of dedicated masters who understand and apply the traditional European techniques of violin making. Our full, professional setup in our Ann Arbor shop optimizes what each violin has to offer. That why the Carlo Lamberti name is your assurance of high quality and the best value in today's violin market.

Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus Violin Outfit - 4/4 size
REVIEWED ON: April 03, 2015Moved to the Amadeus 1/10 from the Prelude 1/16
reviewed by: Student, Aaron Royer
When my daughter was ready for the 1/10 size violin, we decided to save some money and just get the cheapest model. All of the experienced people we talked to said that all the small size violins have a tinny sound, so you don't gain much by buying the more expensive models. We got the Amadeus 1/10 with Shar Overture strings and it worked well. The sound quality isn't much different than the 1/16 Prelude with same strings. A little louder, maybe, but mostly the same. We recently moved up again to the 1/8 Carlo Lamberti with Thomastik Vision strings. The sound was SO different that I bought some 1/8 Visions to try on the 1/10 Amadeus. It made a bit of a difference. The tone was similar between the two brands, but the VISION HAD A SMOOTHER AND RICHER TONE on the 1/10 as well. If I had known that, I would definitely have bought the Vision strings for this violin from the start. My youngest will be using the 1/10 Amadeus when he moves up from the 1/16 Prelude. Franz Hoffman violins have stood up to a lot of abuse and worked well for the kids to learn on. Just like my review for the Prelude, I wish the cases were built to accommodate the wooden guides that our teacher glues onto the violins. They seem common enough that I shouldn't have to modify the case, but the violin itself is ok.
Franz Hoffmann® Prelude Violin Outfit - 4/4 size
REVIEWED ON: April 03, 2015Bought the 1/16 Prelude for kid's first violin
reviewed by: Student, Aaron Royer
We started my daughter on a 1/16 violin, and chose the Prelude with Shar Overture strings. All of these small violins have a tinny sound because of their size, so no surprises there. This violin has held up well and played well for my daughter, and then for my son. I gave it 4 stars because I had to modify the case for the violin to fit, because our violin teacher glues wooden guides onto the violin to teach proper posture and it wouldn't fit with the wrist guide on it. It seems like these guides are common for young students, so the cases should accommodate these types of changes. Also wish they had a higher quality string for the 1/16 size. Bottom line: This violin has worked well and survived a lot of abuse. No reason to shy away from it.
Carlo Lamberti® Sonata Violin
REVIEWED ON: April 03, 2015Reviewed the 4/4 and 1/8 size
reviewed by: Student, Aaron Royer
I bought the Carlo Lamberti 4/4 after reading a ton of reviews. I love the tone and projection that it has, not to mention the finish is very nice! My daughter just moved up to the 1/8 size and we were able to buy a Carlo Lamberti 1/8 used. My violin has full size Thomastick Vision strings, and this 1/8 came with properly sized Visions as well. The sound and projection out of this little 1/8 was amazing. It doesn't (obviously) have the projection that my full size has, but the tone is rich and full, and my daughter loves the volume. The 1/8 is very much as good quality as the 4/4, and I would highly recommend Carlo Lamberti as a brand. (We have used the Franz Hoffman 1/16 and 1/10 sizes with Shar Overture strings up to this point. They were fine for my kids to start on, and now I think the better tone quality will help at this level of playing. Brand probably would not have made a difference in my kid's ability to play until we got to this size).
Franz Hoffmann® Concert Violin Outfit - 4/4 size
REVIEWED ON: March 29, 2015Wow!!
reviewed by: CHAD CALDWELL
All I can say is "WOW"!!! I had to return my Hoffman Etude due to a manufacture's defect (BTW: I could not possibly be happier with how Shar handled the issue) and decided to take the opportunity to upgrade. As I am broke, I could only afford to upgrade to the concert violin... what a HUGE difference for $30! Clearly, there is a reason they are willing to guarantee this instrument: I feel like I paid for a beginner's instrument but got an intermediate one. I will be more than happy playing my Hoffman Concert until I can justify (and afford) an advanced model... and when I can, I will definitely come back to Shar: you can not put a price on good customer service!
Carlo Lamberti® Sonata Violin
REVIEWED ON: March 21, 2015Good violin
reviewed by: Student, MICHAEL BAXTER
Before writing a review I wanted to have a decent amount of time with the Sonata. I've had my violin for about 5 months now. The more I play it the more I like it. I haven't been playing that long, but the sound is so much better than the no-name violin I had for the first 3 months of lessons I noticed the difference right away. And I'm not alone, my dog started staying in the same room when I practice, high praise. Again, I'm new and don't really know the proper terminology for describing sound, but here goes my humble attempt. After playing it a short time I noticed when I played a G on the D string the G string starts to resonate along with it, same with the D played on the A string. It gives it a nice rich tone to my inexperienced ear. I picked up my other violin today and it doesn't compare. Originally, when I purchased the Sonata I had planned to upgrade to a better violin as I got better, and have even been saving for one. However, I like the Sonata so much I can't see a need for a more expensive violin in the near future.
Carlo Lamberti® Sonata Violin
REVIEWED ON: February 28, 2015Sweet sounding student violin
reviewed by: Anonymous
I bought this for my beginning daughter because I didn't want to go through the grit-your-teeth stage where both the violin and the playing are screechy, thin and annoying. I wanted to avoid struggling with tuning pegs that weren't really made to move, and strings that slipout of tune often as you play. This violin fits her perfectly. The tones are clear and uncomplicated in the way that helps a beginning student learn pitch, but not thin and uninteresting. We all like to hear her practice. I think it's an excellent value as we are sure she will keep with it, and she will be able to keep this for longer than a more basic violin.
Carlo Lamberti® Master Series Guarneri Violin
REVIEWED ON: February 28, 2015Outstanding Sound
reviewed by: TANDUM LETT
We bought the Carlo Lamberti Master Series about 4 months ago, as an upgrade for my son. He plays constantly and he was straining to get his beginning violin to make the sounds he was trying to make. What a revelation this choice has been. The set up was very carefully done. It was immediately playable and the sound has been such a pleasure! It has a dramatically richer tone than his first violin. The A and E strings (thomastik Infeld Vision) are sonorous and clear but also so much richer than the very simple tones of his dear beginner violin. The G string particularly has a thick, lush sound that carries incredibly well in performance. initially we paired this with a Presto Audition bow, but, for my son's playing style, this turned the sonorous quality of the upper strings into almost an echo effect. He is now using a Coda Bow Prodigy very successfully, and experimenting with an R.A. Meinel which is a lighter, somewhat drier sound than the Coda Bow but somehow also very pleasing. He is happily figuring out which he likes for which pieces. This is a violin with huge heart. It loves my son's passionate playing. If a growl can be said to be velvety then this violin has that kind of growl. What a great choice.
Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus Violin Outfit - 1/2 size
REVIEWED ON: February 25, 2015Good for Beginners
reviewed by: Teacher, SHAWN SMITH
I bought this outfit to start my eight year old niece on. I teach strings in a public school, so I see a lot of student violins. The Franz Hoffman Amadeus is the best violin in its price range. Every year kids come in with violins they bought off of eBay in this price range and they are total junk (They will not stay in tune, bridges are not fitted, fishing line for strings, etc.). The Amadeus will stay in tune and is professionally set up. I only give it four stars because no instrument in that price range is a five star instrument.

John Cheng® "The Paganini" Stradivari Violin - 4/4 size
REVIEWED ON: January 31, 2015Beautiful & Responsive Instrument
reviewed by: Student, HAYLEY WESCOTT
I recently purchased the" John Cheng Paganini" violin, and I couldn't be happier with the instrument. After trying it out for a week with another violin that was priced more, and having my teacher play on both of them as well, we both agreed that this violin was the best choice. It has wonderful projection, gorgeous tone across all strings, and it is very responsive. I have only been playing on it for a month, and already it is losing that "nasal" quality most new violins have, and the sound is opening up and becoming more full. The picture also does not do it justice whatsoever. The color, varnish, and gorgeous flaming on the one piece back make it stand out. I would highly recommend this violin, especially for someone who is wanting to step up to a more advanced instrument. I feel that for the price, it's an incredible find.

Leafeon (Japanese: リーフィア Riifia) is a Grass-type Pokémon, and is one of the eight evolutionary forms of Eevee.
The body of a Leafeon is slender and limber. Its tail and ears are styled to resemble torn and tattered leaves. Besides the leaf-like ears and tails, there are a multitude of smaller leaves growing from their bodies; leaves grow out from the knee joint areas on the forelegs and hind legs, its chest and its back. A larger, curled leaf grows from the middle of its forehead and is the same soft-green color of all the other leaves. It has the body that incorporates that of a fox, but shares many cat like qualities, as well as plant-like characteristics.Special Abilities
According to the Pokédex, Leafeon employs photosynthesis on top of its animal capabilities, as a result, it is always surrounded by fresh air.
Most of its behaviour is unknown. The only trainer who took it on was Zoey, appearing only in a Japanese episode of the anime called Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. It is soon to air on American screens. In the Pokemon Platinum Pokédex, it says it does not fight. Aside from this, there is no confirmation as to the behavior of this Pokémon.
In the anime
Leafeon has appeared under the ownership of Zoey. It appeared alongside Zoey's Mismagius
in a Grand Festival Semi Final contest battle with up against Nando's Kricketune and Lopunny. It is not known if Zoey's Leafeon evolved from an Eevee or not. Not much is known about this Pokémon.
Leafeon is the evolved form of Eevee. Eevee evolves into Leafeon at any given level, when leveled up in Eterna Forest or Pinwheel Forest near the moss covered rock.

Trainers with a Leafeon
- Leafeon is the first mammalian grass type.
- Despite the main way of evolving Eevee into Leafeon being near the mossy rock in Eterna Forest, there is another way in Black and White. A similar mossy rock exists in Pinwheel Forest. This is due to the fact that Eevee can't be transferred back to Gen IV games from Black and White to evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon.
- According to the Diamond and Pearl Pokédex, Leafeon and Glaceon's footprints are the same (this may be related to the fact they both evolve under similar conditions, levelling up near a special rock).
- Like Espeon, Leafeon has a type-disadvantage against its evolutionary counterpart (Umbreon and Glaceon respectively). The psychic-type Espeon is weak against the dark-type Umbreon and the grass-type Leafeon is weak against the Ice-type Glaceon. Interestingly both Espeon and Leafeon are associated with the sun and moves relating to it, as Espeon is the Sun pokemon (and learns Morning Sun via levelling up and Sunny Day via TM) and Leafeon uses the sun for photosynthesis (and learn Sunny Day & Synthesis via levelling up and Solarbeam via TM).
- Unlike Espeon, Leafeon does gain a type-advantage against one of the evolutions of Eevee, as the Water-type Vaporeon is weak against Leafeon's grass-type.
- In addition to Glaceon, the Leafeon has a type disadvantage against the Fire-type Flareon. This makes Leafeon and Vaporeon (as Vaporeon's water-type is also weak against to the Jolteon's Electric-type) the only evolutions of Eevee weak against the types of 2 evolutions of Eevee while they are also strong against at least 1 evolution of Eevee (Leafeon is strong against Vaporeon, while Vaporeon is strong against Flareon (which is strong against Leafeon).
- Both Leafeon and its counterpart Glaceon are weak against Flareon.
- Each eeveelution specialize in a stat; in Leafeon's case this is Defense.

Lashawndra W.Brunswick, GAHairBlondeColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairMy Hair Is Beautiful
The maxiglide is the best hair straightning tool I have ever used. I have thick coarse hair, and with the maxiglide I don't have to use chemicals. My hair will stay straight for 3-5 days at a time. And summertime use to be the worse time for my hair. It is extremely humid in Georgia and in the summer time 4 hours top for my hair. My mom gave the maxiglide to me for Christmas 2yrs. ago and I love it. One problem the top of my plated broke so iy slides and I am having problems finding replacements. But it is still the best thing since white bread. If you know where I can find those replacement plates email me. Thank you for a wonderful product.

MelLove Love Love It~!Okay first things first, this straightener is for THICK WAVY/CURLY hair, NOT fine/thin straight and wavy hair. So if you have fine hair don't bother getting this and don't complain.
My mother and I have been using this straightener for more than 3/4 years and it works great every time~! I love the little comb thingies because it guarantees to straighten and de-tangle your hair. The straightener gets very hot which is great because I don't have to go over each piece of hair a million times. The only bad thing about thisstraightener is that in humidity hair tends to get poofy. But then again my hair would probably get poofy with any straightener. So overall, GREAT straightener, I won't try anything else.
Mine is starting to die. But the life has been fairly long so I'm not complaining. I'll be sure to order another Maxiglide soon(:posted Jun 6, 2010Link to this post -
Mel T.Love Love Love It~!Okay first off, for everyone saying this iron is bad, it's because IT IS FOR THICK WAVY/CURLY HAIR, gosh. NOT thin/fine straight or wavy hair. So be quiet.
Anyways, I have thick, curly, long Dominican and lots of it, and I personally love this straightener(: My mother and I have been using it for at least 3/4 years and it still works and always does the job. However it hasn't been as great lately so I think I'm going to get a new one soon. But more than 3/4 years is a good life for a straightening iron so I'm okay with that. I like that is has teeth because it guarantees straight and untangled hair. Also it gets pretty hot so I don't have to go over each piece much. Overall, I LOVE with product~! If you have hair like mine, you will be satisfied with this product(:posted Jun 5, 2010Link to this post -

Pansy Cool Wave™ is a spreading variety with masses of big, bright 1½- to 2-inch blooms that combine pure white and deep violet-purple petals, plus dark blue whiskers and a golden center. The two-tone effect is electrifying, especially when seen by the hundred on well-branched, vigorous, unstoppable plants!
Pansy Cool Wave™ Violet Wing is just 6 to 8 inches high, but trails an incredible 24 to 30 inches from containers of all kinds (or across the garden floor)! It bounces back beautifully from rainy and rough weather, filling your garden or patio with brilliant blooms all spring, fall, and in warmer climates, winter. Far more cold-tolerant than older varieties, it overwinters magnificently!
Use Pansy Cool Wave™ Violet Wing as groundcover or accents in the sunny to partly shaded garden, and in containers of every description. You won't believe the flower power! Try all the Cool Wave™ colors, or get 5 luscious shades (including Lemon, not available separately!) in the bold and bright mix!

Viola Germination Information
How to Sow Viola:
- The seeds of both perennial and annual types can be sown indoors at 65-70°
- Sow them at a depth of 4 times the size of the seed and expect germination in 10-20 days
- Sow the perennials in mid-winter or early spring to produce plants that will flower that year
- For a spring flower display with the annuals, sow them indoors at the same time, or sow them outdoors in summer and overwinter them in a cold frame (or plant them out in the South)
- Both the annuals and the perennials can be sown outdoors anytime from spring through fall, with germination occurring the following spring
- When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed
How to Grow Viola:
Transplanting: Transplant when there are at least two sets of true leaves
Spacing: Space the seedlings 8 inches apart in a moist, rich soil
Lighting: Site them in full sun in the North; partial shade in the South. V. odorata requires less sun than the others: partial shade in the North; full shade in the South
Temperature: Pansies, violas, and Johnny Jump Ups grow best in cool temperatures, thus they are grown as spring through summer flowering plants in the North while they are planted in the fall for winter through spring flowering in the South
Additional Care: Where grown year round, the annuals should be mulched in the summer to be kept cool and moist. Deadhead to promote continuous flowering and to remove seed heads. The annuals will readily self-sow, but do not germinate true-to-type. To promote compactness, pinch at planting time and throughout the growing season.
Appearance and Use:
These plants are used as bedding and edging, and in showy container displays. They all have flat, dainty, single flowers and the perennials have green, heart-shaped leaves while the annuals have green, ovate, deeply lobed leaves. V. cornuta, is a rhizomatous plant, growing 6-12 inches tall. It bears fragrant, 1-2 inch, solid or bicolor, yellow, blue, purple, red, or apricot flowers. Hardy from Zones 6-9. V. odorata is also rhizomatous. It grows to 4 inches tall. The spring flowers are 1 inch diameter, sweetly fragrant, and colored bright or deep blue. Hardy from Zones 6-8. V. tricolor, Johnny Jump Up, is a mounded plant 10 inches tall. It bears petite flowers that are tricolored purple, yellow, and white. Grown as an early spring annual in the heat of the South, however it is hardy to Zone 4. V. x wittrockiana, Pansies and Violas, grow 9 inches tall. They bear robust, 3-4 inch flowers with solid, blotched, or faced patterns in colors of red, purple, blue, bronze, yellow, white, pink, lavender, or orange

Superior Germination Through Superior Science
Park Seed offers some of the highest-quality vegetable and flower seeds available in the industry, and there are a number of reasons for this.First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.
Superior Standards - University Inspected
To make sure we are providing the best seed product possible and that our customers will get the highest number of seedlings from every packet, we conduct our own germination testing and have quality-control measures in every stage of our seed-handling operation. We hold ourselves to standards that are at or above federal and state standards, including testing specific crops more frequently than recommended by federal guidelines. And in order to maintain our organic certification, we welcome Clemson University to inspect us annually to make sure our organic seeds, which are stored and processed separately, are being handled properly.
Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
And many of our seeds are packed in our exclusive Fresh-Pak gold foil packets, which are lined to keep moisture out, so the seeds stay fresher for longer. We carefully pack very tiny or fragile seeds in crush-proof vials to ensure safe delivery to your home. Some of the small seeds are also offered as "pellets" (have a clay coating) to make sowing and growing easier. When it comes to the kinds of seeds we offer, we are constantly seeking something new and provide many unique and hard-to-find varieties from all around the world. Our on-staff horticulturists are ready and available to share their expertise to help you with the success of these seeds, so you can grow a beautiful and productive garden!Does Park sell GMO's or treated seeds?
It is important for our customers to know that Park Seed does not sell GMO or treated seed. We do buy a small amount of traditional hybrid seed from Seminis, a division of Monsanto Co., but that is all we purchase from them.
What are the differences between organic, heirloom, and hybrid seed?
Basically, organic seeds are seeds that are produced without the use and exposure to artificial/chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other chemicals. They have to be grown, harvested, stored, and handled under very strict organic rules and procedures. All of our organic seeds are USDA 100% certified organic through Clemson University and the certificate has to be renewed yearly.Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
What are pelleted seeds? Why do you use them? How do I handle/sow them?
Extremely small seed such as Petunias and Pentas are shipped as pelleted seed to make them easier to handle and sow. Pelleted seed are coated, usually with clay, to make them larger in size. After sowing, the coating will dissolve when wet and the seed will germinate. Pelleted seeds are shipped in vials placed inside seed packets, which protects them from being crushed. When sowing, be certain to use thoroughly moistened soil, to be sure that the clay coating absorbs enough moisture to dissolve. For sowing pelleted Petunia seeds, place the seeds directly on the soil surface and do not cover with soil, as light aids in the germination.
What is ideal temperature to germinate most seeds?
The ideal temperature to germinate most seeds is approximately 70 degrees F; give or take 1-2 degrees either way. This would be a good germination temperature for most flower and vegetable seeds and would be the most practical and feasible temperatures achieved for gardeners starting seeds in the home. You will notice for some seeds that it is recommended to use alternating day (warmer), night (cooler), temperatures, which is fine if one can provide such conditions. But most people are unable to provide those temperatures in a home setting, so just use the overall 70 degree F recommendation and the seeds should germinate well.
How long should grow lights be kept on per day and how close to the plants should the light be kept?
For germination and seedling/plant growth, you want to simulate the natural day-night cycles, and as a general rule, grow lights should be on 8-12 hours per day and off at night. You can vary this timing, as some seeds such as tomato, pepper, petunia, impatiens, and others, benefit from 14-17 hours of light per day (and the remainder of the 24 hour period in darkness). The most common grow lights used are fluorescent; using cool white, warm white, and wide-spectrum fluorescent tubes. These lights work well for germination and for growing plants up to a transplantable size. Fluorescent lights should be kept close though, 3-6 inches above the soil or the growing plants, adjusting the height as the plants grow.
How long will seeds keep in storage?
Park Seed stores seed in a special temperature- and humidity-controlled storage facility, which keeps seeds in excellent condition. Our seeds should be good for at least 1-2 years on average. Seed viability and storage time will vary depending on the seed item; some will keep a shorter time and some will keep longer. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place. A basement will do (if not too humid), or a cool, dark room or closet. We recommend the best way to extend seed storage life is to store them in something air tight, such as a plastic zipper storage bag or canning jar, and place it in the refrigerator. This will extend the life of seeds for many years.
What is the best way to store seeds over a longer time period?
We recommend the best way to extend seed storage life is to store seeds in something air tight, such as a plastic zipper storage bag or canning jar, and place it in the refrigerator. This will extend the life of seeds for many years.
What depth should I sow various seeds?
When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed. When sowing seed indoors, the planting depth can be less, depending on the seed being sown, so it is always best to check specific directions. Here are some general guidelines concerning planting depth in relation to seed size: Tiny, dust-like seeds need to be sown on the surface of the growing medium or soil, uncovered, as they need light to germinate. The planting depth for small seed can be anywhere from barely covering, to 1/8-inch deep, to possibly 1/4-inch deep, depending on the recommendation. Medium seed should be planted at 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep, depending on the recommendation. Larger seeds can be planted 1-inch or deeper, depending on the recommendation.

Information Technology, Documents, & Records
Surveillance Camera Guidelines
Carleton College is committed to enhancing the quality of life of the campus community by integrating the best practices of safety and security with technology. A critical component of a comprehensive security plan is the utilization of a surveillance camera system. The surveillance of public areas is intended to deter crime and assist in protecting the safety and property of the College.
These guidelines address the College's safety and security needs while respecting individual privacy of those attending, working or visiting Carleton College. To ensure the protection of individual privacy rights and related state and federal laws, this statement formalizes the process of installing surveillance equipment in on College property. Additionally, these guidelines pertain to the viewing, retention, dissemination, and destruction of recordings.
Installation Procedures and Locations
The use of surveillance cameras is limited to uses that do not violate a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy", as that term is defined by law. All surveillance cameras, including those in temporary locations or for active monitoring, will only be installed with the advance approval of the Director of Security Services and the appropriate College vice president. The College's use of surveillance cameras for monitoring or recording must be used in a professional, ethical, and legal manner consistent with all existing College policies. Although not legally required to do so, the College will inform student employees when surveillance cameras are utilized in the workplace.
The College will limit camera positions and views of certain areas. Any view within a residential area will be no greater than what is available with unaided vision. Surveillance cameras will not view private bedrooms, bathrooms, locker room dressing/shower areas, offices, classrooms not used as a lab, or areas through windows. Surveillance cameras will be installed and configured to prevent tampering with or duplicating recorded information. All new installation of surveillance cameras must connect to the College's main system.
Only authorized personnel, as determined by the Director of Security Services and appropriate College vice president, will be involved in, or have access to, surveillance monitoring. The existence of this policy does not imply or guarantee that cameras will be monitored in real time 24 hours a day, seven days a week, however the College reserves the right to do so.
Retention and Release of Information
Images obtained through surveillance monitoring or recording will be retained for a length of time deemed appropriate for the purpose of monitoring, but not to exceed 90 days, unless such images have historical value, or are being used for a criminal and/or judicial investigation in accordance with this policy. Surveillance recordings will be stored in a secure location with access by authorized personnel only.
College personnel are prohibited from using or disseminating information acquired from surveillance cameras except for official purposes. All information and/or observations made in the use of surveillance cameras are considered confidential and can only be used for official College and law enforcement purposes. Information and results obtained through surveillance monitoring or recording will only be released when authorized by the Director of Security Services and the appropriate College vice president.
All requests from sources external to the College for the release of information and results obtained through surveillance monitoring or recording must be submitted to the Director of Security Services.

VA, Education reap benefits of hiring reforms
Tuesday - 2/7/2012, 5:44pm EST
Tom Shoop, the editor-in-chief of Government Executive, discussed the event on In Depth with Francis Rose
By Sean McCalley
Federal News Radio
Despite the slow economy and tightened federal budgets, the size of the workforces of the departments of Education and Veterans Affairs has remained stable. In fact, both agencies have increased the number of their employees and plan to keep growing.
The departments' chief human capital officers (CHCO) said improvements to training and employee retention are major reasons for the growth. The two highlighted a focus on retention rates, a restructured training process and quicker hiring as saving millions of dollars and a building a larger workforce.
"We're making great progress maintaining a high level of morale," said John Sepulveda, VA's CHCO, during an event Tuesday in Washington sponsored by Government Executive.
The VA employs about 300,000 people, having added 50,000 employees since 2009.
And despite still having the worst retention rate of all departments, efforts to increase it has saved more than $200 million, Sepulveda said.
Emphasis on training, development
Agencies are taking advantage of a faster hiring process to keep their ranks full. In response to President Barack Obama's executive order to streamline hiring practices, Sepulveda said the VA sped its application process by about a month, to an average of 80 days. Furthermore, now it only takes a few weeks to hire veterans, who receive preference.
Sepulveda said improving the hiring process has helped address the challenge of hiring good employees before they fall off the job market. And the good hires are staying in the ranks longer, for which he credited a restructured training program.
"We can't cut back on training and developing our employees," he said. "It's the worst thing we could do."
The VA has invested $300 million in a new "competency-based training agenda," where a series of pretests evaluate skills of employees and provide insight into what needs improvement.
Also, employees receive specified training to climb the General Schedule ladder. VA's training resulted in better performance, a greater sense of project involvement and a stronger sense of a career path, Sepulveda said.
Robert Buggs, Education's CHCO, said he's seeing a similar trend. Since the executive order, Education averages about 85 days to process and hire. Last year, the agency hired 600 people. Buggs expects to add another 350 this year, mostly in program offices.
However, the new hires are offset by two rounds of buyouts that Education started in August.
"We did not offer buyouts because of budgetary reasons," Buggs said.
He added it was an effort at modernizing the workforce. However, more than 110 people accepted, and Buggs said Education could not fill every vacancy.

General Discussion
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare, rapidly progressive disorder that consists of inflammation of the nerves (polyneuritis) causing muscle weakness, sometimes progressing to complete paralysis. Although the precise cause of GBS is unknown, a viral or respiratory infection precedes the onset of the syndrome in about half of the cases. This has led to the theory that GBS may be an autoimmune disease (caused by the body's own immune system). Damage to the covering (myelin) of nerve axons (the extension of the nerve cell that conducts impulses away from the nerve cell body) results in delayed nerve signal transmission. This causes weakness of the muscles that are supplied by the damaged nerves.
The following variants of GBS (acute inflammatory neuropathy or acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy) are recognized: Miller Fisher syndrome, acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy, acute motor axonal neuropathy.

Overview of
PREPARE/ENRICH began in 1980 as a result of several research projects at the University of Minnesota in which Dr. David Olson developed a set of inventories for couples; known as PREPARE/ENRICH. Because of the demand for inventories David and Karen Olson formed PREPARE/ENRICH (Life Innovations, Inc.) to provide these helpful tools for counselors, clergy members, mentors and other marriage educators.

I brought my mom up to Big Bear a couple of weekends ago for her birthday. Snow was in the forecast and all I could think about on the way up was "Why did I promise not to go fishing this weekend". We made it up to Angelus Oaks at about 11:00pm, when we suddenly had to get out of the truck and put snow chains on in the freezing cold. The 25 MPH drive up the hill was so worth it, as we watched the snow decend upon the mountain in a blanket of white.
The next morning I woke my little brother up to hit the hiking trail. It was a great hike and the scenery was brilliant. On the way back to the cabin, I stopped as cones and tape hit my field of vision on a little tributary that runs into the lake. We decided to stop and take a look (since it looked like a crime scene from television), and I was amazed to find literally 100′s of spawning Rainbow Trout swimming to and fro .
After a few moments of shock, I decided to get a closer look with my camera. We hit two more tributaries to find these signs posted just about every 10-20 feet.
I stopped a Police Officer passing by, and asked him why the signs where up along with so much caution tape. He proceeded to tell me that over the last couple of years, people would line these small waterways shoulder to shoulder harassing the Trout. He also said "this was the most trout he had ever seen spawning up there" (which makes sense due to the Extremely high water levels).
I decided to go over to Boulder Bay to see the remodeling, that my co-author and fishing buddy Dan has been telling me so much about. I was shocked to find half the bay frozen over, and structure everywhere.
It looks like they just sunk the old gate and some of the construction equipment. You know where I'm going with this Pier+Structure=Great Fishing. I'm just itching to get back up there during the summer for a chance to fish this new spot!

text: Genre: Rock * Active: "70s - 2000s * Major Members: Lemmy, Phil Taylor, Wurzel, Mikkey Dee, Larry Wallis, Philip Anthony Campbell Biography Motörhead"s overwhelmingly loud and fast style of heavy metal was one of the most groundbreaking styles the genre had to offer in the late "70s. Though the group"s leader, Lemmy Kilminster, had his roots in the hard-rocking space rock band Hawkwind, Motörhead didn"t bother with his old group"s progressive tendencies, choosing to amplify the heavy biker rock elements of Hawkwind with the speed of punk rock. Motörhead wasn"t punk rock -- they formed before the Sex Pistols and they loved the hell-for-leather imagery of bikers too much to conform with the safety-pinned, ripped T-shirts of punk -- but they were the first metal band to harness that energy and, in the process, they created speed metal and thrash metal. Unlike many of their contemporaries, Motörhead continued performing into the next century. Although the band changed its lineup many, many times -- Lemmy was its only consistent member -- they never changed their raging sound.

No reviews written for this product
1 - 5 (of 5 Reviews)
I first saw this fragrance at a newly opened clothing boutique and I thought this had to be a teenybopper fragrance but I bought it anyway since I've bought new clothes from them a few weeks now. I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely it smelled. Some family members thought I was crazy as well as some friends who laughed at the idea that it was a Playboy fragrance,but when I gave them the "I'm not kidding" look and persuaded them to try it,they were shocked. Play it lovely has a fresh,somewhat aquatic scent to it that you can use both day and night and it travels well in your bag or suitcase. Be sure to listen out for the compliments.
Written by Average Jane on October 08, 2014
Read Review details ►While riding home on the bus,I took out my compact mirror to freshen up when I noticed a geeky looking guy kept looking back at me. He then noticed my Playboy mini perfume in my bag & said; "Wow,didn't know you were a fan. Awesome scent." I hope they don't take this one down any time soon,I'm now beginning to love this pretty scent. Great for anytime use.
Written by NerdCrush on August 06, 2014
Read Review details ►Play it lovely is a pretty scent. I bought the mini bottle just to try it out and my only complaint is that the lasting power is not good at all. I think Playboy needs to improve on that or make a body lotion and shower gel to go with it.
Written by Playgirl on June 08, 2014
Read Review details ►I like this scent by Playboy. My date is asthmatic and any strong scent can trigger an attack so I make sure not to put on too much. Everywhere we went,he gets a whiff of it and he is so glad not to get sick from it. Play it lovely is now another favorite on my list right next to Adidas moves. Planning to get the bigger bottle soon.

Here we go again.
Gas prices are above or near an average of $4 a gallon statewide, and are already well over that dreaded mark in Southern California. GasBuddy.com showed gas selling for $4.01 on Thursday, while the AAA listed the state average at $3.99 -- a jump of three cents from Wednesday, 22 cents from a week ago and 37 cents from last month.
While drivers may not yet be freaking out like last year, when the record of $4.67 was reached on Oct. 9, they are none too pleased, especially with the peak summer driving time still months away.
"The fact that nationally we are using less gas but the cost goes up is really frustrating," said Jim Matthews, 56, a librarian from Alameda. "And that makes us feel helpless."
Energy watchers blame the usual factors -- high crude prices, refinery problems and the conversion to California's more expensive summer blend of fuel, which requires a slowdown in production before the change.
Tesoro's Golden Eagle refinery in the Bay Area took some equipment out of service last weekend after a hole was discovered in a line. Repairs may last until the end of the month. Several refineries in Southern California have also had problems in the past two weeks, which is why prices there are well over the $4 mark, and in some places $5 or more.
"Given that the West Coast in general, and California in particular, maintains a very tight balance between supply and demand, any refinery issues have a large regional impact," said Ryan Mossman, vice president of fuel management for Houston-based FuelQuest.
In addition, Mossman said, there is a "new normal" in play for fuel retailers. In 2004, daily price swings of three cents or more nationally used to occur 6 percent of the time, but now it's nearly 50 percent.
"This means that even when there are no unplanned events like refinery closures that can cause market disruptions, day-to-day volatility is significant enough that retailers are having to adopt new approaches to fuel buying, which ultimately translate into lower fuel margins for retailers or higher prices for consumers," Mossman said.
Tell us about it. Los Angeles, San Diego and Ventura motorists are paying $4.09 a gallon, the most of any California cities surveyed by AAA.
San Francisco's average was $3.98, with San Jose at $3.93 and Oakland at $3.91. But numerous stations in the Livermore-Pleasanton area went over $4 this week.
"I'm not surprised at what I'm seeing, but I am surprised it's coming early," Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service told the Associated Press.
The high prices are taking a bigger chunk out of our pocketbooks. The U.S. Energy Department said American households spent an average of $2,912 on gasoline in 2012, or almost 4 percent of their pretax income. That's the highest percentage in 30 years, with the exception of 2008.
The question on the minds of many Bay Area motorists: How long will prices continue to soar?
There may be a bit of good news. The skyrocketing prices could level off in a week or so, then ease for a few months before beginning their usual climb before Memorial Day.
"My forecast is for gasoline prices in California to level off, then go back down before Valentine's Day to an average of $3.90 per gallon," analyst Bob van der Valk said. "The good news is refineries are going to get back online in the next six weeks and gasoline prices will level off and perhaps go back down below $4 per gallon."
Another ray of hope: The California Energy Commission says refinery output is running close to 2012 levels at slightly more than 5.8 million barrels a week, and gas inventories are 13.3 percent higher than they were at this time last year, at just under 7 million barrels.
And the American Petroleum Institute is standing by its prediction that the average price for this year should be 20 cents a gallon lower than last year across the country, as we are burning less gas while producing more. Last year, U.S. oil demand fell to the lowest level in 16 years.
Still, four bucks a gallon is not something many are eager to pay.
"Gas prices are like milk, diapers, etc.," said Scott Connelly, 37, of San Jose. "We're basically slaves to those prices."
