Michelle Van Schaik debuts in 'Death Race 3′
Michelle Van Schaik is a stunning Dutch model who was working in South Africa and then auditioned for a role in a new film. Now she's made her acting debut in "Death Race 3: Inferno," and Bullz-Eye.com was on location for the film production. Senior photographer Paul Miller got the awesome assignment that included an interview with the blonde beauty that you can watch below. Paul also assisted the unit photographer in getting some exclusive glamour shots of the Michelle in her costume from the movie that you can see in the slideshow above.
Michelle does a great job in the film as she's the lone female driver among the 12 drivers in the Death Race. She has a badass scene that we can't tell you about, so you'll have to pick up the Blu-ray/DVD to see it.

Hundreds of locals lined Cumberland Avenue Tuesday evening to prepare for a demonstration by the Westboro Baptist Church protesters.
WBC stated in a tweet on Twitter they would be 'picketing the funeral of charlatan "Pastor Jamie" Coots' followed by Isaiah 47:10-13.
Protesters did not show. Instead, the streets were filled with supporters of the family and those in opposition of WBC including veterans, citizens from Tennessee, Virginia, Bell and Harlan counties and members of different religious groups.
"We're here to stand up for soldiers and to run their butt out of Middlesboro. His family ought not be disturbed during a time like this," said veteran Doug Bayless. A large American flag was brought to the demonstration to cover the potential Westboro protesters signage.
"I take issue with a lot of things they protest against. It's a despicable display of inhumanity and we're all in this together in terms of living together to benefit the welfare of all," said Rev. Peter Alan Helman of Middlesboro's St. Mary's Episcopal Church. Helman brought a large Episcopalian flag to the proposed demonstration to show his stance against the Westboro organization.
Pastor Jamie Coots of Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name Church passed away Saturday evening. A venomous snake bite to Coots' hand turned fatal due to his refusal of medical treatment.
This was one of several snake bites Coots had endured during church services throughout the past 20 years as part of his faith.
WBC member Fred Phelps Jr. said the church's mission is to preach and claimed that Coots was a "false prophet," according to an interview with Brian O'Brien of 106.3 The Big One radio station.
"They're is nothing in this day and age that has anything to do with handling snakes," said Phelps to O'Brien.
WBC is based out of Kansas and is most notably recognized for their protests at public events involving homosexuality and funerals of soldiers.

The mission of the Monmouth Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (MSAAC) is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by providing opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image. To accomplish this mission, MSAAC has developed two distinct yet integrated programs: Peer Support and Community Outreach.
PEER SUPPORT is charged with the duty of educating and providing support to Monmouth University student-athletes. It provides peer-led educational programs to the Monmouth student-athletes in the areas such as alcohol and drug awareness and student-athlete college adjustment.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH is charged with the duty of educating the Monmouth University community and the surrounding communities about student-athletes. In addition, it represents Monmouth University student-athletes on the local, regional, and national level on issues concerning student-athlete welfare.
The organizational structure of MSAAC has three distinct levels; 1. Executive Board, 2. Senior Members (SAMs/SARs) and 3. General Body (SALs).
The body of the MSAAC membership is made up of STUDENT-ATHLETE LEADERS (SALs). This group is formed by coach nomination and/or athlete volunteerism. The SAL is an entry-level position in the MSAAC organization and receives general training on leadership while serving on various committees created to further the agenda of MSAAC. After one or two years of training and serving, SALs are eligible for more advance training and increased responsibility as either STUDENT-ATHLETE MENTORS (SAMs) or STUDENT-ATHLETE REPRESENTATIVES (SARs). SAMs/SARs will chair the committees that further the agenda of MSAAC.
Specifically, SAMs act as peer advisors to other student-athletes, act as facilitators of coach-athlete interactions and facilitate training of SALs. SARs act as representatives of Monmouth student-athletes both on and off campus. SARs serve as the voice of the student-athletes on issues of student-athlete welfare. Each will receive specific training to maximize their ability to carry out the duties of SAM/SAR.
The executive board is comprised of eight members elected by the MSAAC membership and is comprised of a President, Vice President, Senior Consultant, Treasurer, Secretary, Conference Rep., Web Master, and Freshman Representative.

Watch out Adi, Jaque Fourie wants his No 13 jersey back.
Jaque Fourie sits on a concrete slab next to the Lions' training field, wipes his face with a towel, has a sip of water and starts chatting to the make-up artist.
While most of Fourie's team-mates left straight after their afternoon practice session, some have stayed behind for an ice bath or a chat. 'Hopefully they'll think it's sun cream,' says the 26-year-old as the first dollops of white make-up are applied to his face, but the words are barely out of his mouth before the chirping begins.
'Joost, Joost,' one of the players chants, in reference to the former Bok scrumhalf's sex-tape scandal. 'Are you a model or a rugby player?' asks another, before someone else yells 'Hey, superstar!' at the top of his voice.
Fourie handles the abuse well, resisting the urge to tell his team-mates that magazine photo shoots come with the territory when you're a big-name Springbok.
Once the make-up has been applied, Fourie takes off his practice bib and gets dressed in Lions match kit. He then reaches into his bag and pulls out a No 22 Springbok jersey – the one he wore against Scotland at Murrayfield last November when he scored the match-winning try as a replacement winger.
That number seems strangely out of place considering the calibre of player. After all, it wasn't that long ago that Fourie was celebrating the Boks' World Cup win wearing jersey 13. But three unrelated injuries allowed Adrian Jacobs to win 11 Test caps in 2008, while a frustrated Fourie watched events unfold on television.
When the photo shoot is finished 40 minutes later, Fourie and I sit on the steps that link the Lions' training field to the parking lot of Johannesburg Stadium. At first, he chooses his words carefully and avoids too much eye contact, but as he relaxes so he opens up and smiles (showing a perfect set of teeth no longer covered by braces).
We start by discussing his injury-ravaged 2008 season. While you wouldn't blame Fourie for feeling bitter at the turn of events that saw him lose his place in the Bok starting XV, he prefers to focus on the positives.
'I think the rest did me good,' he says. 'I had played three seasons of non-stop rugby before I got injured, and by taking a break last year I've probably added another two or three years to my career. I know some of the Boks suffered from a World Cup hangover and struggled to motivate themselves for Super 14 training. I obviously never went through that, and because I spent so much time away from the game, and was able to clear my mind, I'm really lus to play. I was still able to gym a lot last year – except when my elbow was hurt – so I'm as strong, fit and fast as I was before. My body fat is 7.1% at the moment [early in the Super 14] and it was 6.9% at the World Cup when I was at my peak.'
Fourie's time away from the game also allowed him to get other aspects of his life in order.
'I was able to focus on things like my love life and managing my properties, which I tend to neglect when rugby's my No 1 priority. I owe a lot to Kelly-Rae [Liebenberg], my fiancée, who helped me through last year. Injured players tend to be big babies – we need to be looked after a lot – and she was great. The rest of my family were also very supportive.'
They had to be, considering Fourie played just 646 minutes of rugby and 12 matches (six starts) in 2008. A groin operation – which doctors said he should have had before the World Cup – ruled him out of most of the Super 14, with 55 minutes of Vodacom Cup action preceding his return against the Chiefs and Stormers. An elbow injury then saw him miss the June Tests against Wales and Italy as well as the Tri-Nations tour, allowing Jacobs to stake his claim in the Bok midfield. Fourie returned to the Bok set-up for the one-off Test against Argentina only to fracture his right cheekbone during a clash of heads with Pumas winger José Piossek, just six minutes after coming on as a replacement.
'It was a long drive from Ellis Park to the hospital in Sandton,' Fourie recalls. 'I was in serious pain but all I could think about were the Tri-Nations matches I was going to miss. It was really terrible.'
Fortunately, Fourie made a relatively quick recovery. He started the last three games of the Lions' Currie Cup campaign and was picked for the Boks' end-of-year tour. Peter de Villiers, though, opted to retain Jacobs at 13, with Fourie coming on as a second-half replacement in all three Tests. While Fourie's game time was limited to a total of 67 minutes, he still managed to make a statement, scoring that try against Scotland and another at Twickenham.
Fourie was satisfied with his efforts on tour, but he desperately wants to be back in the Bok starting XV and, more specifically, in jersey 13.
'I'll always be happy to play anywhere the Boks want me – centre, wing or fullback,' he says. 'I'm a utility back and I regard my versatility as a strength. But I would prefer to play outside centre and if I do well for the Lions in this year's Super 14 things should take care of themselves.'
However, Fourie may have a tougher battle on his hands than he thinks. Jacobs was arguably the Boks' best back in the Tri-Nations – a constant threat on attack and surprisingly solid in defence – and having played under Peter de Villiers at the Falcons, he has an excellent relationship with the Bok coach. It's also worth remembering that we live in South Africa, and that if a choice has to be made between a talented white player and a talented black one, the coach is supposed to pick the latter for transformation reasons.
Fourie, though, doesn't want to get caught up in all this speculation.
'Adrian did really well for the Boks last year, which was great for him and the team, but I back myself to get back into the side. We are different players in that he is short and stocky and I'm tall and lean, but we both like to attack the advantage line and are good defenders. It may be a cliché, but I think the competition is good for us and we will both have to raise our game this season.'
Another trait Fourie and Jacobs share is their tendency to obey their instincts and rely on what works for them, rather than overanalysing things and looking for ways to improve.
'I'm not a big thinker,' says Fourie. 'I hated studying at school and nothing's changed! I'm not the type of player who will study his game and come up with different strategies … I just go out there and play. Even when the team has video sessions I don't pay too much attention. However, if a coach tells me to go out and play a certain way, I will. I always follow the game plan.'
Fourie certainly did that when Jake White – a big believer of structure – was Bok coach, although he and fellow midfielder Jean de Villiers were still given room to be creative. The two first played together in a Mandela Plate match against the Wallabies in Johannesburg – one the Boks won convincingly – and went on to establish a successful partnership that was tragically broken 44 minutes into the World Cup when De Villiers was injured.
'Jean is a great player, with an excellent rugby brain and feel for the game,' says Fourie. 'Before he got hurt at the World Cup, we had reached the point where I knew what he was going to do on the field and when he was going to do it. So when he broke away I was always there in support.
'We've also become really great friends, although we're rivals when the Lions play the Stormers or Western Province. In the week leading up to a game, I'll send him an SMS and warn him to watch out, because I'm going to run over him! There have been times when he's been trapped at the bottom of a ruck and I've pinched him and he's laughed. So we don't take each other too seriously!'
The Jean-Jaque centre partnership flourished under White despite the Bok coach's preference for a more conservative game plan. So what does Fourie think of Peter de Villiers's desire for his players to express themselves on the field and throw the ball around a bit more?
'The Boks started the season wanting to play a more expansive game, to play it as they see it. But I'm a big fan of structure. If there's no structure in a team then everything falls apart. That's how South Africans are. We want to play three or four structured phases and then attack if the situation allows it. On the end-of-year tour, we didn't always play that way and almost lost to Wales and Scotland. We changed our approach for England and destroyed them. I'm confident we'll play that way again against the [British & Irish] Lions, because it clearly works for us.'
Fourie believes that a Lions tour is the biggest rugby event outside the World Cup, and hopes to test himself against Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll, regarded by most in the northern hemisphere as the best outside centre in the business.
'I've only played against Brian once, when the Springboks beat Ireland in Cape Town in 2004,' says Fourie. 'I rate him extremely highly – he runs well with the ball, has excellent vision and he's been an excellent ambassador for the sport. But I don't want it to sound like I'm polishing his balls. I back myself against him.'
Just like he backs himself to get his Bok jersey back.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, I hope there will be many more.
I mailed this Mr. Harris, but I am aware that he can't reply to every mail he gets, so I would like to hear your thoughts. Because English isn't my native language, I'll just c/p it here from that mail, so I don't have to write it all over again because it wasn't easy…
After reading The God Delusion (the part about the roots of morality), I remembered that I was thinking about it some time before, after hearing one of your speeches about the subject. I have my own hypothesis about it, and would be very pleased if you could comment on it. I hope that my hypothesis isn't already well known, or rejected (I tried to find it described somewhere, but I found nothing close to it). I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
I think that the only thing we need for morality is empathy. Roots of empathy can be explained easily by all the Darwinian mechanisms concerning the in-group gene survival. This is all well known so far. The thing that interests me is what exactly empathy is (concerning the brain itself, not the effects it has on ones behavior). So I remembered reading something about amputees feeling their lost limbs and amputee itch. As I'm sure you know, it is a phenomenon where amputees feel an itch in lost extremities (for example hand) , and solve it by looking at someone scratching their hand. So scientists looked at the brain function in those cases, and found that, when seeing someone scratching their hand, the same parts of brain work as if the person was scratching themselves.
It is logical then to think that, if we see (or think about) someone who is in pain, we will feel that pain (subconsciously). And adding that to our natural (evolutionary created) fear of pain, I think we have full morality (what we could call a "gut morality", subconscious feel of right and wrong).
Main goal of any theory about roots of morality is to explain why there is a global equality concerning moral questions, and also why are there some disagreements.
For example, if we look at the famous train track dilemma (first with two tracks (one with five people, second with one), and then with only one track and a fat man), we can easily see why almost everyone will steer the train into that one man, but won't push the fat man in front of it. It is merely a difference of to whom empathy is directed. In first case, all six people are the same, so we tend to be statistical. But focusing the story on the fat man, we empathize with him, and his pain becomes our pain.
If we look at disagreements, one good example is pro life vs. pro choice. Pro life empathy is focused on the child, and pro choice is focused on the family. I know that this seems like something completely self-evident, but I don't think it is. All of the arguments tend to rationalize that feeling of empathy towards some entity (depending on the discussion it can be an animal, child, parents, homosexual, dying human etc.), when in fact they are completely a matter of choice (a subconscious one).
My hypothesis is that empathy (feeling others' emotions and physical stimulation as our own) is not something that a moral human has, it is something that makes him moral.
Also, we can explain the Good Samaritan with this theory, simply by understanding that it is not really the other person that we are helping, but ourselves, wanting to get rid of the negative feeling that would be caused if we didn't help them.
The last thing I'd like to say is an assumption of another Darwinian way how empathy could have evolved. The ability to feel others' emotions and exchange goods is not only useful for a group (like it is for vampire bats, e.g.), but it can maybe be useful in combat? Maybe it helps to predict (subconsciously) enemies moves, reducing possible damage.
This is it, I hope you understood my English. Thank you very much for your attention.

It never ceases to amaze me exactly how little you right wing nut jobs actually understand about how geopolitics works given your continuous bloviating about it.
Well given that within a day of my "bloviating" about this invite to Iran, that invite was withdrawn, it appears the president also came to display this same lack of understanding. Go figure.
So which was it? Did he act too slowly or was it that he responded with haste to reach the same conclusion you did? You don't get to have it both ways, lol.
And no, he didn't come to your conclusion at all. His conclusion was that we can't afford to appear to take any sides right now and keeping the invite open to their leadership because that invite makes it appear that the US is siding with one side over the other. It has nothing to do with the xenophobic and irrational response you vomitted into your OP.
If that were so, I strongly doubt we would have seen the recent riots, going on and on over the course of many days. Rioting in the streets is generally not considered a sign of happiness in a population.
Erm…no. The reason riots broke out has nothing to do with civil unrest leading up to the elections. It was sparked over what looks like a stolen election.
I can't get too worked up over hurt Iranian feelings at being called evil (their government that is, not the Iranian people, of course). When you are one of the most prominent sponsors of terrorism in the world, you can kind of expect that sort of thing.
The US throughout history has been a massive sponsor of terrorism as well. Recently in Gaza the US was almost the sole sponsor of terrorism carried out by Israeli soldiers using US weapons and resources. none of this matters however, as you don't get diplomacy with ANYONE if you are so deluded as to demand concessions as a requirement before even being invitied to the talks to begin with.
furthermore, on the issue of calling them evil merely 'hurting their feelings'. You are apparently completely ignorant of the fact that in 2003 and 2005 Iran offered to give the US pretty much everything we wanted out of them (complete ceasing of funding to Hamas and Hezbollah, help reigning in those groups even, help with Iraq, nixing the nuclear ambitions in their entirety, peace talks with Israel, trade deals with the west) and Dick Cheney responded by saying "We don't talk to evil".
The reason he responded that way is because like other neocons running the country's national security and foreign policy sectors at the time, he didn't want those things out of Iran. He wanted to invade, bomb, and OVERTHROW the leaders there in a 3rd war. It was explicitly spelled out that his goal was to do this. It was even clearly stated as the primary national security goal in 2006 on the WH website. For you to pretend the Iranians weren't aware of this only shows you don't know a damn thing about geopolitics. Did you REALLY think the Iranians weren't aware of the nonstop policy proposals coming from neocon think tanks and within the Pentagon under Rummy and from Feith's OSP?
The reason we staged a coup in 1953 was because of oil interests. Do you REALLY find it to be the case that in 2005-2007 given what was happening in Iraq regarding us stealing their oil industry…you REALLY don't find any reason that type of thing ought to alarm Iranian leaders? Even given the fact that they were always mentioned alongside Iraq in the official US national security and foreign policy initiatives coming from the WH? Our 'diplomatic' ambassadors were even beating the war drum all over TV. And let's just ignore the fact that we had troops on their borders and fucking aircraft carriers off their shores while Cheney was in the WH trying to design false flag operations to start yet another war with them. How can you have not seen any of this?
Israel is also not a government of corrupt theocrats
Wow. The fuck they aren't. Also, the 2000 election was significantly more cut and dry than the Iranian elections. there was overt proof taht was indisputable from a variety of sources in 2000. In Iran it looks like it's a solid case on its face but it's absolutely debatable.

Poas Volcanic Earth Coffee
Product Detail
Misty ecosystems and fertile soil. Altitude and legend. The conditions that produce our Poas Volcanic Earth coffee have been nurtured over the millennia on the slopes of Costa Rica's most-visited active volcano. This is the choice of connoisseurs. The changeable, volcanic climate produces a complex coffee with surprising taste subtleties.
Roasted dark, our Poas has an enticing aroma and sweetness when hot. As it cools, hints of earth and lemon emerge. Each sip produces the same exhilaration as a lucky glimpse of the volcano's deep-blue crater lake.
- 100% Arabica SHB (Strictly Hard Bean).
- Kosher certified.
Coffee Connoisseur
The aroma arouses your senses even before the cup touches your lips. Your journey has begun to the edge of Costa Rica's active Poas Volcano. Nature's volatility — which played a key role in creating this lushly fertile landscape — also helped give birth to the exceptional coffee of this Central Highlands region.
While steam rises from your cup, reminiscent of the active crater, pay homage to the smoking mountain that for millennia has spilled precious minerals into the surrounding land creating extraordinarily fruitful soil. Your palate is not dreaming. A touch of the smoky, volcanic soil has imparted its flavor into the coffee beans and is deliciously juxtaposed alongside fruity flavors and a bit of bright lime.
Unlike the unpredictable mountain climate that produces these select beans, the Café Britt Poas Volcanic Earth will consistently provide a complex, aromatic cup.

If you're interested in light weight while maintaining high performance then look no further. The A-Line knee/shin protector from Alpinestars is durable and performance driven. Developed with Down Hill in mind, the A-Line features an Impact Resistant PP shell that protects the lower leg. This is achieved by the PP shell forming a cocoon around the lower leg.
Further Shock resistance is provided by biofoam padding that also provides a soft & comfortable contact surface while riding. Each pad is specific between left and right and has been engineered to fit comfortably. Vented panels help to promote airflow and cooling.

Comments about Alpinestars A-Line Knee/Shin Guards 2013:
I have had a few different shin pads now and these are the best I've had so far. They are a shin and knee pad but you don't notice the knee pad they are so comfortably formed. Great for any type of Mountian biking.

Comments about FSA Torx Alloy Chainring Nut/Bolt Sets:
I bought these to replace the original bolts for my FSA DynaDrive crankset that mysteriously dropped off, this set is painted matte black and looks great, the new ones are Torx bolts, the old ones were Allen...not sure if that means they will stay more secure over time, but it also means you dont want to lose the included Torx wrench, just in case.
Kinda pricey for a set of bolts, my alternative was to buy another crankset.

I am doing the Craftsy BOM. So, I was just wondering... since this is probably not my best work... does anyone use muslin anymore for quilt back? If so, what quality to buy? And where do you purchase it??
I could really use your help. What do you think? I am a newbie quilter so any advice is welcome.
When I first started quilting I never used muslin for backing. Now I try to use the wide backs to save a few dollars. But there are just quilts that call for muslin and I have certainly used the bleached and unbleached. I have purchased mine, with a coupon, from JoAnn's. Sorry, I don't know the brand. I just went and looked and since I bought yardage and not a bolt, I don't have the name. It feels good though. But it is certainly ok to use the muslin in my opinion.
hi silver lining, welcome to the group. i use muslin on the backs of my appliqued quilts, i use a good quality muslin. mainly i like to piece my backs, but i need to be aware if i need a light background, piecing or a patterned backing can show through to the top.
gini in north idaho
Nana The Joann's by me doesn't have the kona anymore. They carry sew essentials( which I believe is their own) and premium muslin by legacy. I like the premium by legacy one. Ginny
Muslin works great for backings on almost any quilt - good quality is sold at most JoAnn's or Hancock's - it comes bleached or unbleached - whichever is your preference. You can tell the quality by touching it - if you can see your hand through it - then I wouldn't buy it - you want it heavy enough that you can't see through it. I use it on what I call utility quilts - baby quilts and quilts for the young ones that are going to be thrown around or on the floor - also it is good for backings on quilts you will use as table cloths or picnic quilt. I haven't used it on my quilts that I have spent weeks making but I do know that my Grandmother in law - used muslin for all her quilts and they are still kicking and doing wonderful!
I look the best quality muslin I can find, and when it is on sale I buy the whole bolt. It is awesome to use for handquilting. Makes great sashing. I also prefer unbleached muslin. I plan to make some table runners and placemats and use muslin for the backings.
Love muslin for backs. Used to use good quilting material, but decided to try muslin on a flannel quilt I made for my own use. When I got it back from the long-armer, I decided to use in almost exclusively. The quilter had used dark green thread and did free hand leaves (my flannel blocks were fall/wintery looking). I think the back looks better than the front! So use the muslin. Get the good stuff (it's still cheaper than expensive quilting material) and you can get the cheap muslin for foundation piecing.
You probably know by now that we all have used good quality muslin for projects. On the other side of the coin...we must have tried the cheaper, lower quality muslin to know this. So if information is your goal you got some good feed back.
I have not used it as a backing. I have seen some quilts done with it and found we judged the quilting persons ability instead of looking at the whole quilt. It can make or break a great job. I like patterned or pieced backs best.
Welcome to the group.
Caryl in Buda, TX
Thanks everyone. I know feel much better about using muslin for the back of this particular quilt.
This is my first quilt so nothing fancy here.
Next quilt will be patterned or pieced or both.
Good morning silverlining, I see you have great response, and I too use muslin on some quilts. I use the legacy name from Joann's, unbleached 90",108" or 120" (permapress & pre-washed), it stands up for years and is great for lap or baby quilts & it maintains a soft hand. I pre-wash to shrink, as I do with all of my fabrics, you can straighten the grain and then cut what you will need. then I press and starch it before layering. I use the scraps for pot holders and small crafty projects. I even used some pieces for backs of baby bibs, no since in using premium fabric on the backs of those things.. lol I always use a coupon! sew essentials is a cheaper fabric and is OK for a foundation block, stay away from the roc loc. There is a 200 count available in the LQS but it is expensive around $10. for the 45". good answers everyone!! Happy Shopping!
Hi silver lining, Welcome. I also use unbleached, and bleached muslin, with good results. I buy the wide backing to save money. I have used muslin for a lot of years, and I usually buy it from my local quilt shop.
Happy Quilting,
Pat..........In Missouri
i forgot to say, that i use so much mulin, that i buy it by the bolt. that and kona black
Thanks for asking this question. I also did the Craftsy BOM and wondered if I could use Muslin. I recently retired and started
quilting so I am still a beginner and new to Quilters Club. Thanks also to everyone for your advise. Millie in Pittsburgh
This is good information for me. I did buy the cheap muslin at Joann's. But I bought it for foundation piecing just like you said. I didn't want to use good fabric for piecing since it is not seen on the back. Good to know that the legacy line there is okay to use. I don't usually prewash my fabric before qullting; but I can see the point of prewashing it for certain projects. I expect my quilt to shrink a little bit anyway.
This is the only forum that I actually get a response from. It is good to know that you are all here to help me. I am really new at this and need all the help I can get. I am taking some classes from Craftsy. The BOM and Leah Day's class on free motion quillting. She is fabulous. Check her out. She really has some good tips.
Hi Millie. Nice to meet you. I think I have decided to use muslin to back the Craftsy BOM. I also decided to do 16 blocks rather than the 20.
It is nice to have a friend here. I am new to this as well. I am also taking Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Class a Sampler. She is wonderful.

Perfect magnets
I originally wanted to do card stock save the dates. I had them designed on a different website. But I wasn't completely sold. I came across magnet street and right away found several styles I liked. It was nice to order samples of things I designed. And it was quick and easy to order and they came in the mail fast too.
Simple design
I liked this design because it was simple. It was easy to set it up and change colors. I pick a dark colored picture but i was able to brighten it easily too. The final product was high quality and looked great.
Very Professional
The magnets look amazing! We can't wait to send them out. Also, we really appreciated how well-packaged they came when the UPS driver left the box outside in the rain. They came in an inner box that made the disintegrating outer box irrelevant. Thank you!
It was so beautiful! I love them!
I will be returning to magnet street every time I need invites or stationary! They are so helpful and the finished products are amazing!

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
The creation of new ideas being essential to a growing economy, the U.S. government has continuously reformed rights of Intellectual property (IP) to maintain the most entrepreneurial climate possible. Recognized in the Constitution itself, patents for new inventions and copyrights for new artistic creations provide an incentive for people to both create and publicize their intellectual property. However, rules, protections, and the adjudication process surrounding IP requires constant reforms to keep up with challenges of the digital revolution. Piracy has become much easier, while at the same time patent laws in the U.S. are increasingly cumbersome. In many cases, innovation is being hindered by overly broad and specious court and agency decrees. This brief is on U.S. patents; copyrights will be treated elsewhere.
The crown jewel of the U.S. university system – the finest in the world – is the research university, where knowledge creation is the ultimate goal. Recognition of the centrality of knowledge creation to economic growth makes the efficiency of university innovation a top concern to policymakers, especially since the federal government funds two-thirds of the $48 billion of R&D performed in academic institutions. In too many universities, commercialization of research discoveries is not as rapid or as successful as it could be. The solution provided by Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) has been mixed, as too many have been directed to focus on maximizing revenue through patent licensing, leading to a sub-optimal level of technology diffusion. In the face of declining funding of basic science research, venture capital migration to downstream opportunities, and heightened competition from abroad, the optimal commercialization of U.S. university innovations could not be more important.
Developing the human capital of young Americans is vital to keep America's entrepreneurial economy growing. Our future entrepreneurs and their workers need the twenty-first century skills and knowledge to create successful ventures and to spur innovation in the economy. Yet education in the U.S. is struggling to stay competitive and fails to provide access to a quality educational experience for all students. Developing tomorrow's talented, capable innovators is a challenge that will require major, entrepreneurially-driven improvements in education from pre-school through graduate school.

|All Children's Hospital Featured at This Year's TBBJ Health Care Heroes Awards
All Children's was in the spotlight at this year's Tampa Bay Business Journal's Health Care Heroes Awards dinner, honored as a finalist in the Team, Innovation and Volunteer categories. Congratulations to our finalists and their outstanding contributions to the patient and family experience.
Team: Brittany Nelson & Asthma Education Team
Brittany Nelson, GetWellNetwork System Analyst
Brittany Nelson and her colleagues on the multidisciplinary Asthma Education Team were honored as finalists in the Team Category for their work in using the GetWellNetwork Asthma Care Plan as a teaching tool for nurses to provide asthma education to the patient and family and ensure that every child has a Home Management Plan of Care before being discharged from the hospital.
"In the past year, 400 patients have been able to receive quality asthma education through the GetWellNetwork during their hospital stay," says Brittany. The Asthma Care Plan is also available in Spanish and has been able to assist in providing quality education to our Spanish-speaking families."
The GetWellNetwork is the ACH interactive patient education and entertainment system. Several months ago a new interface between the GetWellNetwork and the hospital's electronic medical record made it possible for the education plan to be prescribed directly from the bedside, and for the medical record to show the clinical team when the patient and family has completed the required videos.
The asthma educator is able to monitor the patient's progress through the Asthma Care Plan's ten modules: short videos followed by two or three comprehension questions. She can provide additional teaching if needed, and to answer any questions or special concerns.
The successful program has resulted in a steep drop in asthma readmission rates at ACH, and the team has shared this educational model with the Florida Hospital Association and with other hospitals across the U.S. that use the GetWellNetwork.
Jessica is a familiar presence inside the lobby of All Children's Hospital, where she performs for passersby every Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. She is one of an array of talented pianists who give their time each week for All Children's Volunteer Services program.
Jessica was born with a condition called optic nerve hyperplasia (meaning her optic nerve was under-developed, leaving her only able to make out hazy images or large type held a few inches from her face) A graduate of St. Petersburg High School with a degree in sound engineering from Full Sail University in Orlando, she took up piano only seven years ago.
She hopes her music helps add a few extra smiles or briefly lightens the load for people walking by. "I really like the environment, and people interact with you sometimes," she says. "I think many people look at a hospital as a place of trauma. But I look at it as a place of rest and healing, and a place of care."
Led by Cindy Driscoll, this team developed an innovative method to allow NICU patients to undergo brain MRI without the need for sedation, increasing access to MRI, decreasing costs, and most importantly, increasing patient safety by avoiding the risks associated with anesthesia. Dr. Evan Harris and Dr. Anthony Napolitano, collaborators on this project were on hand to accept the honor.
The very same evening, this project received an Innovation in Healthcare Award from the Florida Hospital Association. Watch BeACH and allkids.org next week for more details.

Orthopedic - Musculoskeletal Cancer
For people with orthopedic/musculoskeletal cancer – often referred to as bone cancer – the Swedish Cancer Institute offers the services of a renowned team of physicians, surgeons and other cancer specialists.
All Swedish orthopedic-cancer patients benefit from a comprehensive approach to care that begins with state-of-the-art imaging techniques and features the latest and best treatments, as well as a full selection of high-quality support services.
The first symptom of bone cancer is usually pain or tenderness caused by the cancer stretching the membrane that covers bone, or by stimulation of nerves within the bone.
Orthopedic/musculoskeletal cancer
The two types of orthopedic/musculoskeletal cancer are primary and secondary.
Primary originates in the bone or tissues adjoined to the bone.
Secondary bone cancers, also known as bone metastases, originated in another place in the body and then spread to the bone.
The cells in bone metastases resemble the cells from the cancer's origin and are not bone cells that have become cancerous, as in the case of primary bone cancers. Learn more about bone cancer.
Individualized treatment plan may include a combination of the following treatments:
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
Research and clinical trials
If your physician believes you are a good candidate to participate in a clinical trial evaluating a new treatment or more effective combinations of treatments — and you agree — you will have access to the very latest in research treatments.
At any given time, the Swedish Cancer Institute offers patients more than 140 clinical-research studies involving most types of cancers. Additionally, our physician specialists collaborate with other regional and national research groups, including Southwest Oncology Group, National Cancer Institute, Puget Sound Oncology Consortium and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Education and support for patients and families
Beyond physical health, the Swedish Cancer Institute is committed to the emotional well-being of our patients and their families. We offer:
- Individual and family counseling, and support groups
- An on-site education center
- A full array of complementary therapies
- A dedicated cancer rehabilitation program
- Specialized nutrition care for those fighting cancer

This is a video I made to showcase Charlie Vettiner for the CVO and Masters coming up. I also plan on doing this for Seviren. Any comments or suggestions.
This is a video I made to showcase Charlie Vettiner for the CVO and Masters coming up. I also plan on doing this for Seviren. Any comments or suggestions.
Deuce #3.
In all seriousness, I'm punching up some actual useful feedback, more to come soon.
A'ight here we go:
1. Talk. Most people hate hearing their voice on tape, so I understand, but if you write up the descriptions, I'll do the audio for you. I hate my voice too, but I'm a comedian so I'm at least used to it. A short 15-second intro to each hole would be good, and maybe a slightly longer intro/outro to the whole thing.
2. May be too jiggly depending on your camera, but a short walk up from tee to basket would be nice. I'd rather see that than some of the throws which don't really tell me anything (the tee shot from #1 is a good example... no way to tell it's a downhill). Another way to do this would be to have the camera at the basket and point out where the teepad is from that perspective. A simple little blinking arrow would do the trick.
3. The intensity, direction, and quality of lighting have a profound effect on the way an image is perceived. Light affects the way colors are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition. Much like movement in the cinema, the history of lighting technology is intrisically linked to the history of film style. Most mainstream films rely on the three-point lighting style, and its genre variations. Other films, for example documentaries and realist cinema, rely on natural light to create a sense of authenticity.
(I don't really know what that last one means, I just copied it from a website).
If I think of anything else I'll let you know. I REALLY like showing the little map before each hole, good call there.
Walkthrough is probably not the right word for what I was going for. I was not quite going for a complete walkthrough but more just a showing of the course and what people can kind of expect if they come out to play Vettiner. So, #1 is a little more than I wanted to do but if someone wants to do descriptions of the holes then go right ahead and I can put them in. #2 would add a lot of time and I wanted this to be able to be inside 10 minutes so that way it can be one video on youtube. #3 I did pay attention to some extent like keeping the sun behind the camera. Luckily there was light cloud cover and this was not a huge issue. Thanks for the comments.
I was trying to angle the camera when I was putting so that it was looking back to the tee so that people could get a little more understanding of the hole (I did not do this very well on hole #1). It can be hard for me to tell how descriptive the video is in showing the course though because I have played it so many times.
This is my first time trying this and I do plan on making more videos of me playing rounds so I will try and incorporate and comments or suggestions into future videos.

Nice Dan.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.
Looks great man, really well done. I like that you showed the tee signs before each hole so the viewer has a better idea what they're looking at. And you did a pretty good job showing some of the tough putting greens. I'll post a link to this in all the places I posted about the CVO so out of towners can see the course.
My only criticism is you made the course look easy, especially by getting a eagle on hole 18 : )

The Portsmouth Area Children's Theatre (PACT) is inviting everyone to be a part of their world this fall, with their production of "The Little Mermaid, Junior."
"The Little Mermaid, Junior" is comprised of 53 local students who will be costumed as fish, merpeople, a prince and many more beloved classic Disney characters. There is also a preshow for kids ages 3-5 and consists of three songs that are themed around the beach and ocean. The preshow serves as an introduction for kids who aren't ready for a full show.
The musical is based off the 1989 Disney movie and the classic Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson of the same title. The tale follows a young mermaid princess, Ariel, as she follows her dreams and pursues what no mermaid has done before; she decides to go onto land. She makes a deal with an evil sea witch and soon learns that the deal might mean trouble not just herself, but for everyone.
Music and lyrics by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Glen Slater features classic songs such as "Fathoms Below," "Under the Sea," "Part of Your World" and "Kiss the Girl."
"Over the years of presenting live theatre to kids, I've learned it affects people in a lot of ways. When kids see something they love come to life on stage, it is completely different from seeing it on a screen or in a movie theatre, because it is real people and real people become the characters. The music and story surrounds them in a way it hadn't before," PAAC executive director Becky Lovins said. "Anyone who enjoys Disney should be entranced during the show."
Lovins said that it was a pretty easy decision in choosing "The Little Mermaid, Junior." Besides the show being pretty new to community theatre, it has a wide generational gap and interest group. She also believes that the show has some of the best music Disney has put out.
"Follow your dreams and fight against evil," Lovins joked when asked about the message in the story. "Honestly though, Ariel wants a different life for herself and it is something she never gives up on."
Susan Foster, director, described rehearsal schedule as "craziness." Since the fall show is normally a 70-minute MTI Kids version, the six week rehearsal period is a little calmer. "The Little Mermaid, Junior" is the full length junior show and runs an hour and a half, however.
"You wouldn't think the small difference in time would make such a big deal, but it is actually major difference, especially now that we have a lot of new kids." Foster said.
Foster said that since the fall show is comprised of their junior company, a large amount of time is spent teaching students about theatre basics and the dynamics of the stage. When she starts rehearsing the show, they spend time on music only and then go into blocking and choreographing the show, which takes up most of the six weeks
"The students have done a great job from start to finish. I've been truly amazed at the amount of talent," Foster said. "I'm proud that I've been able to watch them grow the whole way."
Juliana Parlin, fourth grade Wheelersburg student, is taking the limelight this fall as Ariel, the popular mermaid princess. Parlin got involved in theatre two years ago and has since had roles such as Annie in Wheelersburg's production of "Annie" and Alice in JAX Theatre's production of "Alice's Wonderland."
"Mermaid is fun and everyone gets a chance to sing a song of their own. It seems fair. Even I only have one song that I sing on my own," Parlin said. "Everyone has their own little part and it makes it a really cute show for little kids to be in and it is a great story. I love the movie."
Parlin said that she is most excited about seeing what her costume is going to look like.
Micah Simmons, eighth grade Portsmouth student, is playing the love interest of Ariel, Prince Eric. Simmons is no stranger to the stage, having played many leading roles. He was last seen in JAX Theatre's production of "Alice's Wonderland" as a Tweedle.
"Eric is obviously a prince, but he doesn't want to be king. He is an easy going and fun loving guy; he just wants to be at ease and sail all day, but his butler is persuading him to be king. He is kind of in an undecided mood."
Anna Lovins, fifth grade West student, has been involved in theatre since she was four.
"My name is Flounder and I am basically Ariel's sidekick. Whenever she gets in trouble I sometimes help her, but I sometimes just get her in more trouble."
Lovins said that she likes theatre because it is a fun way to entertain the public and she believes that "The Little Mermaid" will do just that.
"I think they picked a good show to do this year,"Lovins said. "I think in some parts people will be really still and on the edge of their seats and during others will be laughing their butts off."
"The Little Mermaid, Junior" will run at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 20 at 2:30 p.m.. General admission is $10 and student tickets are $8. Tickets will be available at the McKinley Box Office 740-351-3600 and all Ticketmaster locations.
"We are thrilled that this show is starting off our fourth season," Lovins said. "I think the time has flown by and to think that we are already planning our fifth year is amazing that we've come so far and we have so many dedicated families and kids that have learned so much."

Chris -- 2011-03-08
This was in the end essay of the November 2007 Fine Home Building
This is a wonderful thing. But, if you look in the Google Search part of this web site, somebody wrote it here (no comments) in March 2007. I do not understand how the Search Function here works. You Eggcorn Gods, should we always check our ideas in that Google Search window? But it only seems to Google this site? Or? Need direction.
I don't think anyone fully understands how our search engines work—or don't work. But two things….
First, the basics are fairly clear. The Search engine that has a button above the forum page is really good for finding things in forum posts—especially if you enter just one word (say, "delusion"). By contrast, the Google search engine on the home page of the Database supposedly searches the whole site (and only the site, unless you give it different directions), but it's a bit dodgier about returning hits for forum posts. On the other hand, it does return hits for the old comments list that was in place before the forum was established in the Fall of 2005. So if you're worried that Ken Lakritz may already have had your idea back in March of 2005 (and you should be), that's the place to go.
Second, in this case all my qualifications above prove unnecessary. I put "optical delusion" into both search engines, and in both cases I instantly found the post Tom was talking about. Not a problem. Sometimes just trying it turns out to be a lot quicker than worrying about it.
The search engine on this website only seems to work when you enter a single word; in this case "delusion"...
"Optical delusion," for "optical illusion." by COsborne Contribute! 0 2007-03-26 14:31:32 by COsborne
Isn't this usage just a case of modifying the prefix—often intentionally?
Yesterday, I actually got the hits in question when I put "optical delusion" (both words) into the search engine on this page. I tried it again just now with the same results. I can't explain it, but it worked without a hitch. And just to be sure, I entered "delusion" by itself, and got a slightly larger range of results. So putting in two words does sometimes work. Obviously, we need to experiment more and see if we can define the patterns more closely.
Looks like you're right about that Pat; it worked for me too. I wonder if mult-word searches are fruitful only if the words are adjacent in the post.
