The Last 2 high-end doff packs were months ago with the re-do gamma and the the reienforcements pack - both offered a special prize either the tuffli freighter or the Jem Bug
It's getting over do for another 1 - A new Romulan/Borg themed pack - perhaps 2 packs - more money there - buy a romulan one and a borg one separate
I am almost 100% positive that this is what they intend - and I was wrong in my blog I was 2 and 1 with Mr stahl - the one thing he would not answer - even though he gave in to me on the hard ones - was what will happen with the Borg Duty officers you can now buy with EDC's
The more I ponder the more I think you will see lots of purple and blue Borg and Romulan doffs hitting very soon in brand new doff packs.
If the grinder cost so much + prices on the exchange are high - those c-store prices will look pretty good for these new unique doffs
Edit: all I can say is that collecting doffs the way I do - I will be buying hundreds of these packs for special Romulan and Borg Duty officers.

William HalikiasCredits:
Spring 2008
Meeting Schedule:
Mondays 1/14 - 3/3 (9:00AM-11:29AM)Mondays 3/17 - 5/5 (9:00AM-11:29AM)
Competency Area: Effective Interventions
Restricted to Year IV students.
This seminar focuses on the practice of forensic psychology with an emphasis on the context for a relationship between the law and behavioral sciences. Following a general overview of the legal and court systems, including the history and role of mental health experts in the judiciary, this seminar focuses on six primary ways that clinical psychologists provide services to legal professionals: competency in the clinical process, mental status at the time of the offense, sentencing and rehabilitation, civil commitment and civil competencies, compensation for mental or emotional injuries, children and families, and juvenile justice. With each of these venues, students learn how to appreciate the relevant legal issues and to better communicate important psychological findings to courts and legal professionals.

30-06 Hunting Rifle
So I've not too recently moved out of one of those bass-ackwards states that require you to hunt deer with a slug gun and so I am on a search for a decent rifle. I've already researched the caliber and am pretty set on 30-06 for a few reasons. I'd like to be able to humanely take elk at 200+ yards and I want the round to be fairly cheap. From what I've seen 30-06 cartridges cost about the same as .308 and .270 and you get a bit more takedown power at comparable ranges. The slight difference that the .308 might be more accurate doesn't concern me. I am open to other caliber considerations, but I don't want to make that the focus of this thread. Gotta haves: Price: Less than $450 (I would really like to find an awesome clearance, coupon or sale) Decent accuracy out of box (I don't want to have to modify the gun for it to shoot 1 MOA) Packaged with a reasonable scope or a good deal on scope and gun within my price limit. Standard barrel length for the caliber I believe that's 22" for a 30-06. (I don't want something too short that it reduces the bullet velocity or something too heavy that I can't carry it around all day while hiking up and down mountains) Nice to haves: Composite stock and stainless barrel Upgraded trigger for that particular manufacturer. This will be my first rifle. Its primary purpose will be for hunting. I plan to hunt mainly deer (mule, pronghorn) but I will occasionally hunt elk and who knows what the future will bring. At this point I am currently just thinking new, unless anyone knows a good way that I can thoroughly test a used gun before committing to the purchase. Lower cost rifles that seem to have favorable reviews from what I've read are: Remington 700 Savage 110/111 Savage Axis I'm definitely open to other brands and models, especially those that are normally more expensive, like: Marlin, Weatherby, Browning, CZ, Thompson, Ruger, Winchester, etc if there is a good deal. Well, any help is appreciated, and I hope others find this thread useful as well. Planned purchase time frame: sometime in December 2012 or later. Last edited by jammer; 09-13-2012 at 12:08 PM.. |
Remington 700 - I have one in 30-06 and it has been used for Deer/Elk with no problems. Cheap Tasco scope almost never has to be adjusted. Never takes more than 1 shot.

Check out the Ruger American at Kentucky Gun company [kygunco.com] They have the 30-06 in stock for $309 free shipping. I just bought the 308 and they ship quickly and no headaches. All the reviews for the Ruger American are outstanding. My buddy has the 30-06 and loves it. Easy to shoot, recoil pad is very comfortable and the gun is very light.

MakerBotting is Cheap!
What is the real cost of MakerBotting? Nick Starno, MakerBot Engineer decided to find out. He did some SCIENCE and made this handy chart so you can plan things out. You'll notice that the electricity cost is at $.15 in this equation. That is a little bit more than we pay for it here in NYC, but we thought we'd adjust up in case your electricity is more. You'll notice that the timing of the centimeter cubes is all the same, even though there are different infill settings. That's because "cool" was turned on, which makes small layers take 15 seconds so they get a chance to cool. Even with solid infill, it needed to be slowed down to make each layer take 15 seconds and so they are all the same time! In the settings, these each have 1 shell so each model has two perimeters. The time noted here did not include warmup time. Using the new Print-O-Matic functionality in ReplicatorG, this was printed with a .4mm nozzle and a .3mm layer height and 30mm/sec feedrate.
We are proud of our plastic. We get the best plastic possible with great tolerances and we make it as cheap as we can! If you've done your own experiments in regards to power usage and costs. Drop us a note in the comments!

June 23, 2011 at 3:00 pmYeah, I've been running my Thingomatic plugged into a Kill-A-Watt for a couple weeks now, and average electricity consumption is remarkably stable. Probably because keeping the hot-end and HBP at temperature is the main power drain?
In any case, material cost is definitely the dominant factor, and so it's a good thing you guys keep it cheap. Printing a lego mini-fig at twice the normal size for 25 cents is a feel-good moment!
June 23, 2011 at 3:20 pmThe heated build platform is actually the main power drain. We calculated that it dissipates a little less than 70W of power, so the people who are printing with PLA and a non-heated platform are saving themselves about 70% on the electricity costs! Thanks for documenting all your Kill-A-Watt statistics Syvwlch
June 23, 2011 at 7:04 pm>great tolerances
Is your "3mm" still around 2.8mm or is it actually 3mm these days?

Skip "Sign in to your Microsoft account" (Windows 8.1 Setup)?
I have an RT tablet and updated it to Windows 8.1. The update basically performs the new PC setup. I can't get past the "Sign into your Microsoft Account".
Clicking "Next" does not allow me to proceed (and provides an error hint for an email address). Repeatedly clicking "Next" with no information has not allowed me to bypass the screen (I've tried 20 or 30 times now).
Clicking "Don't have an account" does nothing because its not linked.
The other two options are "Create an account" a "Privacy statement". I don't want to create an account for this tablet, and I'm not interested in Microsoft's perverted terms of service for an account.
In Windows 8.0, we were given the option to use local authentication (if I recall the name correctly). The link was basically hidden, but it was present.
How do I bypass this f**king feature? Or how do I go back to Windows 8.0?
- Edited by Jeffrey Walton Friday, October 18, 2013 9:18 AM
You should be able to click "Create an account", then at the bottom of the following screen there is a link that says "use existing account", which uses the local account yous set up when you installed Windows 8.
I went through the same thing and was frustrated. I was about to give in and create an account when I discovered this. Why can't this be on the previous screen.
Why you no use common sense Microsoft?

As I said on another thread:

Man I hope the FTC opens an investigation on Microsoft business practices. If this were examined in detail, I bet this would violate antitrust due to the illegal tying of services. (And you can't opt-out of the ad programs that are piled onto these "features" - you can only "personalize" the ads).

And its not just Microsoft - its Apple and Google, too.
- Proposed as answer by Ralph Malph 2 Wednesday, November 06, 2013 7:44 PM
Actually IT IS NOT COMMON SENSE! Common sense would be for Microsoft to use the existing accounts, since it is an "upgrade", without EVER prompting one to do anything else. DUH. Anything less that that is NOT common sense.But the practice of tricking people into giving up their email address and/or creating/signing in to Win 8 with a "Microsoft" account etc is just plain EVIL!. It is NEVER in the best interest of the user to give out personal info just to use an OS. And for Microsoft to trick people in to doing so by HIDING the options to avoid it should be criminal. At the very least it is extremely immoral of them to do so. Metro/Start is nothing but a mini monopoly waiting to happen, just like the new Office 365. It should be avoided AT ALL COSTS! By DEFAULT the ONLY moral option that should be offered by Microsoft is to setup an account that DOES not EVER want to know your real name etc so that ALL web surfing etc is 100% anonymous, so much so that Microsoft can't even tell who you are. Nothing less than that should be illegal to say the least. But lets face it those powers that be that own our government are not about to let that happen. Heaven forbid they can't track us and spam us at will, not mention making it easy for the NSA to spy on us etc, and Microsoft is not about to step up and do something to protect their customers form such intrusion.l In fact they want to be in on it so that they can get a cut of the profits. In fact they would like to fix it so that they will get a cut out of ALL the spying and spamming that goes on on the internet and is one of the main reason they want your email address. HOW DISGUSTING!!!!!
The real correct answer is that Microsoft STOP collecting email addresses and starts recommending that users NEVER give real info when setting up Windows or any other software etc and that they are encouraged to use pseudo names for the account. Never a real name or email address. NEVER! Anonymity on the web should be guaranteed by MS not the opposite.
I just did a scratch install of Win 8 then an an upgrade to 8.1 for evaluation and testing. What JUNK! First it doesn't by default use my existing accounts and tries to trick the unknowing, normal, not a TECH user in to giving up their personal email etc it then moves the desktop option so it is not as obvious. Then when you are in it it the "so called" start button they added just takes you back to metro. You have to right click on it to get anything like the Win 7 start button. What JUNK! I have not found a way to get rid of it so that the only start button I have is the 3rd party one I installed to get back a Win 7 type of start button and gain some proper control over MY system.
The update was so stupid it couldn't even remember how I had my resolution and dual monitors setup. It seems to be totally oblivious to my Win 8 setting. What a failure of Microsoft. What JUNK!!!!! As thing currently stand I am going to have to recommend to my customers that they don't WAIST their time on the Win 81. update as it buys them NOTHING but trouble and actually makes matters worse. What JUNK WARE!
PSPS.. It now thinks my two wide screen monitors are square boxed. It will not give me a an option that matches my native resolution. (I have Dell monitors and am using a Dell opti 755 with an AMD video card installed) Win 8.0 did this without me installing a single driver. Win 8.1 should be called "8.0 - 1" as it is less intelligent that the original 8.0 was.
It also does not even seem to know that I have two monitors, although it is showing a picture on both of them in clone mode.And the stupidity and evil of MS continues. I tried to install my PREFERRED start button, a 3rd party product that worked excellently on Win 8 but the new Win 8.1 Junk Start button keeps coming up not the one I want, and my system keeps booting in to the CRAPWARE Metro instead of the desktop which is what I WANT IT TO DO! How disgusting!!!!
I'll keep posting my observations and any fixes I fine here as I continue to evaluate Win 8 vs 8.1 etc. At least for today anyway. I don't want to waist to much time on it as the real answer to 8.1 is to simply NOT install it. DUH, and that is COMMON SENSE.
>and my system keeps booting in to the CRAPWARE Metro instead of the desktop which is what I WANT IT TO DO!Right click on the desktop task bar ->properties -> Navigation tab -> checkmark "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start".
Bob Comer - Microsoft MVP Virtual Machine -
OK, after several attempts it seems that I was finally able to get the 3rd party Start button in control and get it to boot straight in to the desktop. I am using the "Classic Start Menu" ver 4.0.2. It can be found here. Get a REAL start button for Win 8-8.1 here (http://www.classicshell.net)
And don't forget about the Gadgets, the best add on Microsoft has come up with in years. (At least since the win 7 version) You can find them here.. "http://8gadgetpack.net/" Win 8 Gadgets here
Same sequence most folks go through...
- Miss a few carefully hidden steps.
- Become flabbergasted that Microsoft has made it worse than the OS it's replacing.
- Figure out that there's nothing of merit in the Metro/Modern side.
- Slowly and steadily discover 3rd party tools and configuration tweaks that bring the functionality you need back.
- Start over with a clean installation, this time armed with more information, and get more things right this time.
I wrote a book on it just so I could keep it all straight. And yes, it's just barely possible (with an UNPRECEDENTED amount of trouble and 3rd party software) to get Windows 8.1 to be about 100% as functional as Windows 7.
The only problem with all this is that for all your trials, tribulation, and trouble you get a NEW system that's just as functional as the old one. Not better. I didn't say 110%.
If you're not looking to spend money in the Microsoft App Store for toys, there's really no compelling reason right now, other than the intangible benefit of "keeping current", to upgrade. That benefit will, of course, grow over time, until it will be as ridiculous to continue running Windows 7 as it is today to be running XP.
Contrary to popular lore, Windows 8 / 8.1 aren't even any faster overall than Windows 7. I did the testing. the only thing Windows 8+ offers is faster bootup time, owing to some trickery that actually comes with a downside.

Just so it's stated clearly in this thread, it IS quite possible to go through a clean Windows 8.1 install and choose to create a local account. The links you need to take are dim and small, apparently so most people will miss them, but they ARE there.

I have to agree that this is not intuitive and lends itself to forcing people into opening an account.
Big IT companies have become sheepherders and guess who the sheep are? The future appears to be that of big data gathering and technological feudalism.

1. THANK YOU for your justified retort (IT IS NOT 'EASY' in any but a 180 degree definition of the word), as well as the further justified excoriating of win8...
2. i really am OS -agnostic, and win8.1 is the one which would push me into the loving embrace of linux, were it not for some specific must-have applications which are windows-based... i can get just-as-good-or-better equivalents for most everything but a few programs...
3. win 7 was a damn decent OS, and really had few complaints about it: THE NUMBER ONE thing i require of an OS, is to be stable, and get out of my way... win7 did that...
win 8/metro ? TOTAL bullshit for a desktop computer (where i was 'forced' to get it, and i'm damned if i'll pay the bastard for another copy of win7 because win8 sucks that bad)...
my better half laughed at me and mocked me for my cursing during my initial (and STILL) attempts to use win8; then *SHE* had to sit down at my computer to get something done, and she - who NEVER cusses- was swearing at win8 within 3-4 minutes...
THE NUMBER ONE thing i require of an OS, is to be stable, and get out of my way... win7 did that...
We think a lot alike.
After a great deal of analysis, research, and testing with VMs to determine what it would take to turn Windows 8 into a workable, serious system, I finally moved up from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 (fresh clean install from DVD).
EVEN WITH an unprecedented effort an number of 3rd party applications to restore Microsoft-deleted functionality, EVEN THOUGH I never see the Metro/Modern side (and in fact couldn't run a Metro/Modern App if I wanted to), it turns out that Windows 8.1 is really no more functional than Windows 7. Really, seriously, the ONLY thing I can do that I couldn't before (without 3rd party software) is mount an .iso file. Big whoop.
I've got it to be just as stable as Windows 7, thankfully. That is to say, perfectly stable. I reboot only once a month, when Windows Updates require it.
I've got it to be just about as functional as Windows 7 on the Desktop (Start button/menu on the desktop via Classic Shell, Aero Glass via Aero Glass for Win 8.1, etc.).
But after ALL THAT - it turns out Windows 8.1 is a few percent slower than Windows 7. I've done rigorous testing and benchmarks on identical hardware.
Not really worth changing to unless, like me, you really want to prove it could actually be done, and you like to "keep current".

I attempted to install 8.1 today. After and hour or so I came to the same conclusion when I evaluated 8. We will skip this version too.
I have to thank Microsoft for Win8 though. Because of this fiasco I started to evaluate alternatives. Now a large portion of our user base now use thin clients that rdp into a ubuntu server. We're saving a bundle in hardware and Windows licensing fees. Thanks Microsoft!
Yep the user experience is really bad. Not intuitive at all, I don't know why they haven't put this button in the first screen.
Windows 8 is so bad a memory management, I heard 8.1 is doing better so i'm going to try it.
Though, I can't select the version of windows update. Although I'm on a french version of windows it wants me to go through the korean update. Apparently you can choose your language or region in windows store preferences, but once again you need to login to MS account to do so...
So i'll update manually.

Method 1:
1. Click on link Create a new account (near the bottom of screen, below the "Don't have an account?" text)2. When sign up form appears click on Sign in without a Microsoft account (also on the bottom).
I understand it could be frustrating to link something to Microsoft when you can bypass by another way that is not offered or not clear...
your a special kind of stupid, WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO LOG INTO MICROSOFT JUST TO OPEN OUR COMPUTER. all you do is spam how to create the account, read the freaking question the op put out and quit spamming stupid.

I almost hate to ask, but who are you responding to, sttiger?
The most recent post I see above yours, and a number up thread including mine, describe how to make a local account that's NOT connected to Microsoft's cloud. In fact after a scan of the whole thread I don't see anyone describing how to create a Microsoft account - it's all about creating a local account where you're NOT logging into the cloud.
Perhaps you might want to read just a bit more carefully.

MS fortunately takes all complaints seriously. Check out windows 10, (down-loadable now as a tech preview) has the start menu back like Windows 7, an the right side looks like window 8. I also looks a lot cleaner. So far in has become very stable and I plan on installing it on my tower. I run ten on my laptop. Windows 8 is MS's way of promoting their cell phone OS, which turned out top be a bad idea as not everyone in the world uses all things Microsoft. All in all, the best thing about window ten is you get a free upgrade from 7 and 8 so go for it. There will be a few bugs to work out but by far, much better then trying to learn an OS that is a copy of a cell phone OS, not everyone has a touch screen.. I will be installing ten very, very soon, and hope to do away with one annoy feature that I can not find an answer for on windows 8.1. updates keep installing Visio 2013 updates, and I don't run Visio on my pc. Every time I uninstall all 20 of these dang updates, I have to reboot, and the updates get put right back on. Since the updates that occurred on the 27th of Jan, 2-015, my sleep mode and hibernation turn the system completely off, so I am trying to figure out why that is happening. seems the best option is to installing windows ten after backup up this version of OS.

It is the single biggest enemy of end users. Tracking for pattern recognition and, eventually, far, far worse. Once systems have collected and analyzed enough data about a person, they will be able to begin anticipating a person's habits and moves before they happen, as each "question" posed to the system, about an individual, can be a "yes or no", purposefully cut and dry question, because there is a 50/50 chance of "guessing" right. BUT, when you calculate in ALL the insane amounts of data that the trackers have and are collecting, that data can be used to support or detract form that yes or no, on levels that will, no joke, essentially make them able to accurately predict any person's habits without ever having to track them again, because it can all be used relative to another piece of data, and so on down the line. Like bread crumbs or a chain link.... All bad

So, in order to get to the screen that allows you to continue without creating an account, you first have to click a link that says "Create a new account". And you think that is common sense?
Nice to meet you. I am from planet Earth. On my world, that is the opposite of making sense.
Hope this helps someone...
I installed Windows 8.1 fresh from within a VM, and I simply disconnected its network and I was able to just create a local account. I imagine that this works fine with physical hardware as well; just ensure you do not have a network connection when installing.
As an FYI, when I couldnt get around creating a microsoft.com account, I simply turned my system off, took network off of it, and rebooted it. I was dropped right into the system setup screen again, so no need to reinstall.- Edited by Sugitime Sunday, April 12, 2015 10:54 PM

Did you notice the screen grabs up above? There's no "when I couldn't". Only "I didn't choose properly". Not that Microsoft makes it obvious, but it's there.

Tasty food
Good biryanis and Andhra style meals. Forget the ambience - gorge on the food.
Food 4/5
Ambience 1/5
Service 4/5
Wallet Factor 5/5
Overall 14/20
nice biryanis..
apart from the sad ambience, everything is pretty good here..be careful wen u sit on the couches...i once got bitten by bed bug n had a nice time searching for it :))
the chicken biryani is very nice...and the waiters are also attentive
cold food
the waiters stare and dont give you the table u want even if the place is painfully empty at peak hours and the food is served stone cold to boot..i have avoided the place like the plague since
The best place for everyday dinner
Each time I am in Frazer town and wondering where to go to grab a bite, i end up at Nandini.
The food is great and quite ok on the pocket. My usual order is a veg mini meal and a sholay kabab or chilli prawns to go with it. Priced at around 40 bucks, the meal is very filling. Everything from the dal to the vegetable curry to the rasam is good. The other dishes range between 80-120 bucks but are a good deal considering the quantity and taste. Even for two to share.
The briyanis here are very popular too but if you are a person who frequents this place, you would prefer the meals.
The ambience is a turn-off. Badly maintained, this place can make you change your mind about entering. But once you lay your hands on the food, the ambience hardly matters. Don't bother going to the AC section, there's nothing special there except that you are charged extra for the cool air.

Congress has adopted double standards on the Cauvery issue
State BJP president and Deputy Chief Minister K.S. Eshwarappa on Sunday alleged that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had favoured Tamil Nadu by directing Karnataka to release 9,000 cusecs of water to that State.
Addressing State-level and district-level office-bearers of the party at a workshop on 'Coal scam and failures of the UPA government', Mr. Eshwarappa said Dr. Singh acted as "the agent of Tamil Nadu" by denying appointment to Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar and later meeting a Tamil Nadu delegation led by the former Union Minster T.R. Baalu to discuss the Cauvery water issue.
A delegation of BJP MPs from the State called on Dr. Singh and urged him to review the Cauvery River Authority's (CRA) decision to release 9,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu. But Dr. Singh told the delegation he had no powers to review the CRA's decision, in an attempt to protect the interests of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Eshwarappa claimed.
'Double standards'
Alleging that the State Congress had adopted double standards with regard to the Cauvery water issue, he said Union Ministers from Karnataka did not pressure the Prime Minister to review the CRA's decision.
Congress leaders had nothing to say about the directive of the Supreme Court or the CRA's decision, but they opposed the release of water to Tamil Nadu as directed by the apex court, the State BJP chief alleged.
Stating that the Congress would continue to be the Opposition party in the State after the next Assembly elections, Mr. Eshwarappa called upon BJP office-bearers to create awareness among the public about the "wrongdoings" of the UPA government at the Centre. Inflation, corruption and lack of governance had adversely affected the public, he said.
At the inaugural programme, BJP national spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad and Mr. Eshwarappa spoke at length on various issues but did not mention the name of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa. Though Mr. Prasad appreciated the State government's achievements, he did not mention Mr. Yeddyurappa's name.
The former Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda was present.

International Students Registration and Arrival Dates All international students are registered for courses by the Academic Exchange office. Class schedules are generally available about one month before the beginning of classes. Exact registration dates and instructions will be included in the student's acceptance letter but normally undergraduate students must arrange final schedules approximately one week before classes begin; Graduate students must petition for classes approximately six weeks before classes begin. If students cannot arrive in time for registration, it is important that they keep in close contact with the Academic Exchange Office in case there is any problem with class selection or schedules. ITAM will do its best to give preferential enrollment in classes to international students. Once classes are filled, however, it is difficult to find additional space for international or even regular ITAM students.
Special Note: Students are expected to arrive at the starting date for classes. We usually plan an orientation session and luncheon during the week prior to beginning of the undergraduate and Masters classes. Likewise, students are expected to respect all final exam schedules and should not reserve flights home until exam dates have been verified.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The governing body of the University of Missouri system hopes to have a short list of candidates within two weeks for the presidency of the four-campus system.
The Board of Curators is seeking a replacement for former President Gary Forsee, who stepped down in January to care for his wife as she battled cancer. The curators had private discussions about the search during their two-day meeting this week in Kansas City, and board Chairman Warren Erdman said the curators are "making great progress."
"We are narrowing down the field to the point where I would think within the next two weeks, we will probably be to a group of finalists," Erdman said during a post-meeting news conference on the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus. "We're getting down to a small pool."
The curators had reported having more than 100 potential candidates for the job of overseeing the Missouri system, and Erdman said they will take their short list to a 20-member advisory committee formed earlier this year to help the curators with the search. He said the curators have not decided how many candidates will be on the short list.
He also said there is no firm deadline for when a new president will be selected.
"I have said from the beginning from this process that I will not set deadlines, because when you set deadlines, you preclude some of your options," Erdman told reporters.
The Missouri system, with its flagship campus in Columbia and others in Kansas City, Rolla and St. Louis, has nearly 72,000 students and 7,800 faculty members. It also includes the University of Missouri health care system, which provides services around the state.
Forsee, a former chairman and chief executive of Sprint Nextel Corp., was hired by the curators in December 2007 and spent much of his first year dealing with the system's budget issues. He was credited with increasing the system's commitment to research and economic development, reorganizing the university health care system and bringing a more business-oriented approach to the campuses.
Until Forsee's replacement is named, Steve Owens is serving as acting president. He'd previously served as the system's general counsel and has said he's not interested in the president's job.

Instant style icon Michelle Obama is being honored with a book chronicling her fabulous looks…thus far.
From the beginning of her husband's presidential campaign right up to this very second, Michelle O has written the book on modern American style. Now Mary Tomer of Mrs-O.org is taking a closer look at her fashion choices in Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy.
The book features more than 120 shots of Michelle and each outfit is given a close examination. From the beads on her cardigan to the pumps she stands in every ensemble is thoroughly studied down the smallest detail. Mrs. O even provides a brief background of the suits.
Mary also sat down with some of the first lady's favorite designers for interviews, including Isaac Mizrahi, Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo.
Mrs. O doesn't come out until late October, but you can pre-order a copy for about $18 on Amazon.com, Borders.com or BN.com.

Degree & Course Information
In addition to the University Core, English education teacher candidates take courses in two independent departments: the Departments of English (housed in the College of Liberal Arts) and Professional Teacher Education (housed in the College of Education and Professional Studies).
For a suggested degree path for the B.A. Ed. degree, click here. Although Dr. Bolf-Beliveau is available to help students, the official advisor for English education is:
Ms. Jeannine Nyangira, M.A.
Student Success Advisor
College of Liberal Arts, Room 125
(405) 974-5818
Both Ms. Nyangira and Dr. Bolf-Beliveau can help students work through the English education program of study. As students review the materials, the two courses specific to English education, as noted below, should be considered very closely:
§ English 3843: Composition and Language for Teachers
This course is offered every spring semester.
Course description:
Composition and Language for Teachers builds students' composition and language skills as they prepare to teach those skills in secondary English/language arts classes.
English 1113, English 1213 and sophomore standing or above. Enrollment open to English Education majors only.
§ English 4843: English/Language Arts Methods
This course is offered every fall semester.
Course description:
This course involves students in the problems and methods of teaching English grammar and composition and literature in secondary schools.
Admittance to teacher education and permission from the English Education program coordinator.
Special Note about English 4843:
If you plan on teaching during the fall semester, you may take this course either the fall before student teaching or concurrently with student teaching.
If you plan on student teaching during the spring semester, you should take this course the fall immediately before student teaching.


text: By John Vogel Archives Email Author Overwhelmed By Legal Pro-gun Forces! Nor' east Thinkin' New York's anti-gun and ammo law is a 'clarion call' for legal pro-gun citizens to defend their rights to weapons of self defense, sport and hunting. Published on: February 25, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Going into last week's New York Farm Show, I was totally unprepared for the onslaught of rural vehemence to the state's new Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act. The law does nothing to secure citizen safety, and, in fact, threatens it. The silent scratching of Governor Andrew "Quick Draw" Cuomo's approval pen on the NY SAFE Act awoke an angry giant – a pro-gun force that would kill his presidential aspirations with high-caliber common sense. Common sense and thorough thought was clearly lacking on what Cuomo calls the nation's toughest gun control law. The act was pushed into law in mid-January within 48 hours of due process. Within four days of SAFE's passage, several thousand pro-gun supporters protested it at the state capitol. A month later, the anger of a generally quiet, law-abiding pro-gun citizenry still loudly exploded at our exhibit during New York Farm Show via a two-question poll that close to 1,000 people crowded in to share their opinions. We asked: "Do you favor requiring criminal background checks for all gun purchases?" Our unofficial tabulation showed: 66% Yes; 30% No; 4% Undecided. Unfortunately, we didn't ask if they favor criminal background checks for ammunition – which SAFE will require for all ammunition, even 22 bullets and shotgun shells as of Jan. 15, 2014. But from the sentiments strongly expressed, it was pure, intentional regulatory overkill. We also asked: "Should the sale of military-style assault weapons (pistols and rifles) and high-capacity magazines be banned?" Our unofficial count showed: 20% Yes; 70% No; 10% Undecided. There were many reasons for this lop-sided vote. One is that the law oversimplifies the definition of assault weapons to include even a Ruger 10-22 rifle, I'm told. The New York State Sheriff's Association confirms that "the new definition of assault weapons is too broad, and prevents the possession of many weapons that are legitimately used for hunting, target shooting and self defense." But according to SAFE, all such previously-owned weapons in the state must now be registered within a year. Language within the law makes very clear that previously owned and legal 30-round magazines must be sold to out-of-state residents or turned in to local authorities by April 15, 2013. Maximum legal magazine capacity is reduced from 10 to seven rounds. Open season on law-abiding citizens State Police officers at the New York Farm Show had no clue yet as to how they would enforce the new anti-citizens' rights law. The most explosive time may well be during hunting seasons as unaware hunters are confronted by law enforcement. It's no exaggeration that many hunters treasure their hunting rifles almost as much as their families. And many of them will be reluctant to have their prized possession being confiscated via a law that may well violate the Second Amendment right – to keep and bear firearms. If not struck down, this law effectively prevents the sale of all ammunition within the Empire State. Officials with several farm supply companies have already confirmed they won't (can't afford to) run background checks for 22 bullets or shotgun shells. So look for tents and stores perched just outside New York borders selling munitions as well as firecrackers. With SAFE, New York has declared open season on law-abiding citizens for those who follow no law but their own. Governor Cuomo and the legislature forgot who they are supposed to be protecting. Already, at least three legal challenges are filed to overturn portions or all of SAFE. For more details on this rights struggle, visit NY_SAFE. Perhaps the most cogent comment offered at New York Farm Show was this by a very wise farmer: "We should be spending far less on gun control and far more on mental health." Amen to that!

Sweet story on King5 tonight: "A 13-year-old boy living at the Nickelsville encampment is one of a dozen people at the camp who were given cameras and asked to capture their love for animals for all to see. KING 5 photojournalist Ron Sanford shows us the work that speaks volumes." The video is available at the King5 website. It's very touching and well worth watching.

I did see this on the news tonight. He is a nice and intelligent young man. His pictures were great. I'd loved to have gone to see the display of pictures. He has been on news from Nickelsville several times and does very well. I see him nearly every Saturday when I take lunch. He seems to be doing quite well inspite of his and his mother's circumstances.My little grandaughters love him.

Betty....he really looks like an exceptional young man who will do well in life in spite of the circumstances of his upbringing....he just has that "I'm special" aura about him. I just hope someone comes along to mentor him to be all that he can be.
BTW, do you know how Gene Lee's catered dinner went? According to his posts, it was scheduled for today so was wondering if it happened?

I have been watching the posts on the Nickelsville Works facebook group.. and according to those it was a success.
unfortunately i wasn't up to attending.

Yes, the dinner was great!
And "T" is definitely a good kid.
I, too, have been amazed at how well he handles the conditions he lives in.
Posted 2 years ago # -
How many kids are currently there?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Mike lived there when I met him and knows "T" very well. He's polite and very helpful. I"ve been told his recent grades were all but one "A". Yes, I'd really like to see him have a good mentor so he'll continue on this track as he gets older.

He said: "This tour has been a year in the planning and will be one of the great sporting adventures. We're acutely aware of how big the challenge will be - no-one needs to tell us how tough it is.
"The fact the Lions have won only one Test series in 10 visits says it all. But the message is this - we will be the best prepared tour in the Lions' history and we have the making of a great Test side.
"I've been on a Lions tour as a player so I know it takes time to gel, but we will gel. I know that from what I've seen on the training pitch and the attitude of my players and the coaching staff, we have every reason to feel confident.
"We will go out to win every game and we must reverse that tide of one in 10. It's the Tests that count. If we can win the Test series it will be an achievement to match any other in rugby. We respect New Zealand but don't fear them."
The Lions' 25-25 draw with Argentina at the Millennium Stadium on Monday night was not the best way to start the tour but Woodward insists his 45-strong squad have put the performance behind them.
He said: "Drawing with Argentina wasn't deflating - you have to take it in your stride. You have to start somewhere and now we can get on with it. We were disappointed with the game but no more than that.
"It was a poor performance based on the fact we hadn't played enough times together, no more than that."
Woodward confirmed the Lions suffered no injury setbacks from Monday night.
He said: "No-one is unavailable for the first match on tour. We picked up a few bumps and bruises from Argentina but everyone is fit."
