Where to study Illustration/School of art in Australia?
Dear fellows,
I've been searching for a school of Arts in Australia which provides Illustration major but the result is not very positive. I'm not sure if i searched it right or may be my search skill is bAd . I need you guys to help me!
So, i'm looking for a school which have Graduate degree in Illustration. Now i'm currently in 4th year of a Fine Art school and will have a BFA next year. Hope that i have enough time to prepare . Also, i love the Illustration Department of Academy of Art University in U.S ( i mean i love their student works and how the system works/organizes). Could you please give me some advices or suggestion of any art school in Australia which have similar system like that? RMIT has AIM (animation & interactive media) is the best i can find but still they don't have a separate Illustration major.
This is very important to me. I really need your experience in this field!
Thanks a million!

I have no idea. One of my best friends lives in Melbourne. I myself am considering Victoria College of Art for future schooling. The nice thing about art school in Australia or even England is that getting an education is alot cheaper plus a degree takes 3 years instead which is money saving. Good luck finding a school!
August 19th, 2008 #4
Thanks ClassyLady for your reply. Yes , i have the same reasons to choose study in Australia like you, plus Australia is nearer from my country. However the most important thing is i haven't found any school which has illustration department yet since most of the Australian art schools combine illustration into animation major.
Hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance

I've also been wondering about this. In two years' time, my boyfriend and I be living in Australia (we're not sure which city yet, but I'm leaning towards Melbourne or Sydney) and I'm worried about starting my undergrad here (Canada) and not being able to continue it there, not to mention leaving the country with all sorts of debt only to wrack up some more seems kind of scary! It seems like it would be easier to get it done and over with while we are there.

Illustration degree.
Hey guys, I just finished my degree in illustration at NMIT in melbourne if your still looking. I know it's 3 years late but hey...
It's brand new, so they have to iron out some kinks but it's worth it in my opinion. I'm trying to raise the bar in Melbourne and connect with our international brethren hopefully make the community stronger and improve the degree.

2.5 version qucik start is notworking 3.0 version quick start is is nulled I just need quickstart with sample data looks like on demo http://www.wiselythemes.com/index.php?theme=mochito_joomla
Thank you very much fro purchasing Mochito.
Here is how to properly use the quickstart package:
- Upload the file wt_mochito_j3_x.x.x.zip or wt_mochito_j25_x.x.x.zip into your server and extract its contents. Or extract the contents of the zip file into your computer and upload all the contents into your server (this option will take longer).
-In your browser, go to your site (e.g. www.YOURSITE.com) and the installation starts.
-Follow the installation steps as a normal Joomla installation.
-When prompted for sample data, choose None (if Joomla 3) or do not click "Install Sample Data" (if Joomla 2.5). The sample data to replicate the live demo is already included in the default Joomla installation data.

I just signed-up for the Microsoft adCenter web Analytics tool - Gatineau. As the sign-up is by invitation only, you can request an invite code at http://advertising.microsoft.com/advertising/adcenter-analytics-registration
The process described in the invite was quite confusing and with a few trial-and-error mis-steps, i seem to have created the tracking
Once the tracking mechanism was setup, I was sent to the Analytics page at https://adcenter.microsoft.com/analytics/Config.aspx with 2 icons - profiles and Users. Clicking on the Profiles icon, I verified that my blog site was being tracked. It also gave me the ability to add other sites for tracking. Do NOT forget to add the tracking code to any new site you add here. It seems like I can collect data on multiple sites in a single profile.
Now that the tracking is setup and Microsoft adCenter Analytics is collecting data, i will post the results periodically.

OldSchoolTama's Virtual Pet Log
Posted 12 March 2014 - 11:46 PM ( #461 )
I had my iD paused on the 9th and 10th because of work. Of course, as soon as I un-paused it on the 11th, the batteries ran out.
When I put batteries back in, it downloaded to the time Chuuchutchi evolved into an Uwasatchi on the 7th. So she got held back a little bit. No new pictures today, the 12th. I will try for Ta Ma To Mo items tomorrow.
I still haven't restarted this guy yet. I really want to see it through but it took so long to get to the adult stage, and to have the batteries run out...I don't know, especially with my work schedule, having to pause in between and all, it was a little off-putting for that to happen. We'll see. I'll probably restart tomorrow.
Angel App
I restarted this one today though, just because I'd like to keep unlocking wallpapers, shells, etc, and experience new characters. Also, evolution happens quicker, which is a nice change of pace. Same old thing, US space ship, Obaketchi 2, and then Maruten. I think I'll try for the healthy teen character and then from there, keep Angel Power on the low side to get a character other than Kuriten.
Stay tuned!
Posted 13 March 2014 - 11:35 PM ( #462 )
Uwasatchi turned 4 years old today. Time for happy items!
Uwasatchi's Ta Ma To Mo letters
Ta - Anpan from the Convenience Store
Ma - Mamedaifuku from Tama Café
To - Star Antennas from the Accessory Shop
Uwasatchi shall earn the Mo letter and be ready to head to the matchmaker tomorrow.
I think I'm going to hold off on re-starting my Devilgotch for the time being. I've got a lot going on right now and I think having a pretty hardy, low-maintenance Tamagotchi (like the iD) is what I can handle for now. Besides, I've got the Angel App running too so that will keep me plenty busy. Maybe next time!
Angel App
Another new shell to show off! Maruten evolved into Kodoten today.
Here is where I'll experiment with low Angel Power and see what I get.
In other news, I've got another >>>sales page<<< up and running. Please check out what I have to offer. One (or more!) of those items could become a part of your virtual pet family!
Thanks for reading! See you next time!
Posted 15 March 2014 - 05:19 PM ( #463 )
Uwasatchi got her last happy letter today but it was late in the day and she went to sleep before I could bring her to the matchmaker. We'll save that trip for another day.
Angel App
Yet another shell unlocked.
Kodoten evolved into...Kuriten. Surprising, since I hardly watched her and kept Angel Power down. You must really have to lay on the neglect if you want different characters, it seems.
In other news, got my used golden V3 in the mail today. It's numbered 1303 out of 2500. I have a NIP factory-sealed one but I wanted one out of package to play with so I don't ever have a reason to open up the sealed one.
Just as a reminder, I've got a lot of Tamagotchis and other things for sale HERE. Please check out what I've got up for grabs!
Thanks for reading!

March 14-16, 2014
I worked on the 15th and resumed running my iD on the 16th.
I took Uwasatchi to the matchmaker, where she and Mametchi were married.
They had a baby girl.
She evolved into Hoshitchi.
Angel App
Forgot to mention that I unlocked the final wallpaper with 10000 points accumulated from the app mode game.
New shell!
On the 15th, Kuriten got sick once. Didn't like the medicine, of course.
Then I gave her a snack and all was well.
Nothing new went on with Kuriten on the 16th.
Thanks for reading. More updates to come!

March 17-20, 2014
I paused my iD while I was at work on the 17th and 18th. By then, my gal had evolved into Chuuchutchi. I had a feeling I knew what adult character I would end up with because I knew I let one too many care misses go by. Sure enough, Chuuchutchi evolved into Uwasatchi, a repeat character. Apologies for the extreme lack of pictures this time around. I attribute this to part preoccupation with work/wedding planning and part laziness. I will take her to the matchmaker as soon as the option opens up.
Angel App
Kuriten returned to Angel Planet. I'm really thinking that Debirutchi isn't a character you can raise on the app, but rather it's an animation for a "bad end." Just a guess. Anyway, this concludes my Angel App run for the time being. Still kind of bummed that I didn't see any opportunities for praise/strolls. Maybe an update would fix that...or maybe I was oblivious.
My batch of virtual pets from Japan came in the mail on the 19th, which was a pleasant surprise. I needed this after another rough shift. Unwrapping new purchases is very therapeutic. It only took a whopping 4 days for the package to arrive this time around. I love EMS shipping. I'm glad I decided to stay up a little longer that morning right after work because the postman came before 10 am this time and I would have missed him! So let me introduce to you the newest members of my virtual pet family (I really need to get around to making that new collection picture/video(s)). Though I picture a few of the following in more detail, it doesn't mean I love the others any less.
Pink iD L Station (Store Deka for the iD L) : I was flipping out when I saw this one crop up for sale. It sold for a pretty penny but it was worth it. Not sure if I'm ever going to figure out all the ins and outs of this one but I sure will have fun with it in the process! It's even more glorious seeing it in person. It even came with the AC adapter and the chain that holds the unit to displays in the stores.
White Yasashii: Finally got my hands on one of these! Price wasn't too bad either. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came with all of its packaging because when I looked at the picture provided in the listing, it only looked like the card came included, not the plastic front cover as well. Glad to see that its complete and in great condition. I was seriously fangirl squeeing when opening this one up.
Yukata Blue Keitai: I just sold one over at my sales thread because I wanted to make room for this packaged version. Plus, this new one has a matching blue side chain, whereas my old one had a pink one. Small detail, but it makes a difference to me.
Mezamatch alarm clock: Always wanted one of these, especially the blue one, but didn't really feel like shelling out over $100 for one. Even though it came without packaging, I'm happy to have found one for a reasonable price.
Got an extra blue iD.
Exile TMGC+C: Special edition but same programming as a regular +C. I really love the sheen and how pearly the shell looks. The picture doesn't do it justice.
R2-D2 Giga Pet for the Star Wars nerd in me.
The white box contains the shareholder set of Tamagotchi Pluses to commemorate the Bandai head office moving to new headquarters. I am very pleased with the pristine condition of the set, also complete.
Figured I'd try out another odd virtual pet and so I went for a Super Gyaoppi this time around.
Last, but not least, I snagged a Teku Teku Angel.
I'm hoping to start setting things up in the next week or so in order to take an updated collection picture. Until then! Thanks for reading!
Posted 24 March 2014 - 02:34 AM ( #466 )
I apologize once again for the scant amount of pictures (well, relative to previous posts) in the following post. Work has been busy and wedding planning is picking up. I'm getting married in about 2 months so it's go time! Thank you, all, for your understanding.
I took Uwasatchi to the matchmaker, where she married Kikitchi (took the wedding pictures on my phone and they all came out blurry, sadly). A new baby girl was brought home!
She evolved into Belutchi after the hour of care. She evolved into Shelutchi on the 23rd.
I'll aim for Lovelitchi, since I've already gotten Chamametchi, and I have a couple more days off so I can be more of an ideal caretaker, nay, maybe even the perfect caretaker.
I've been having the itch to run my iD L again lately but am not sure if I have enough time to be running more than one at the moment and log about it as well. I figured I'd just go with the iD until I earn Ta Ma To Mo stamps for all characters, and pick up a new Tamagotchi to run from there.
Short update for now. Thanks for reading!
Posted 25 March 2014 - 03:33 AM ( #467 )
Belutchi evolved into Lovelitchi, as expected.
Ta Ma To Mo stamps are on the agenda for tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by!

March 25, 2014
Lovelitchi's Ta Ma To Mo Stamps
Ta - Napolitan from the Restaurant
Ma - Heart Cake from Tama Café
To - Heart Sunglasses from Accessory Shop
She does everything with love.
I'm thinking I may not put my iD on pause while I'm at work, at least not tomorrow because Lovelitchi will only be 4 tomorrow so she's got another day before she can get her last stamp and go to the matchmaker so I'll let the day go by while I'm sleeping (good thing she's got a fuller and bigger happiness bar to empty ), fill her back up right before I go to work, hope that she goes to sleep before the meters empty too much, and then pause her in the morning after filling her up again before I go to sleep for my next shift. Sounds like a plan.
Now it's time to catch up on K-Dramas. Until next time, dear readers!

Amidst all the day to day though, I've been having a strong urge to run Tamagotchis and log recently, so here I am! Though I haven't been logging, I've still been making purchases. I'm not sure when I'll get an updated collection picture and video up (I haven't posted a collection update since April 2012!) but I'm hoping to have something put together by the end of the year.
Anyway, I wanted to slowly get started up again, in light of my upcoming SEVENTH anniversary with TamaTalk. Rather than spend an exhausting amount of time backlogging (as I usually do) the few instances I've run Tamagotchis intermittently over the past few months (because I at least take pictures and go back to log later if I don't have time...the time stamp on pictures helps), I figured I would just start fresh. I decided on running my beloved blue TMGC+C (my first color Tamagotchi, purchased back in 2010) and my more recently purchased companion for my blue +C, the white EXILE +C. The EXILE is a special edition +C but it runs exactly the same as regular +Cs. I'm excited about connecting 2 +Cs for the first time. Up until now, I've only connected my blue +C to other color Tamagotchis, but not another +C. It probably wont be much different but I'm still looking forward to it!
I reset my +Cs (featured on a couple of cradles made by oddsandendswithlove) and staggered the start times a bit so I could take pictures of the both of them when they evolve and whatnot.
A boy hatched on my blue +C and a girl hatched on the EXILE +C. Ill call the boy, Clark, and the girl, Lois.
Here they are, enjoying life and fireworks (perhaps wondering when they'll meet their one true love, not knowing that they're both staring up at the same sky ).
When I ran a +C last time, I posted a link to a list (I'm sure I've listed them out too) of seasonal animations on the +C, a fan-favorite feature that unfortunately does not make appearances as prominently on future color releases. Here's that list (thanks to Ra!):
Jan 1-3 New Years
Feb 6-10 Sapporo Snow Festival
Mar 1-3 Girls Festival (Dolls Festival)
Apr 1-7 Cherry Blossom Viewing
May 1-5 Boys Festival (Children's Festival)
Jun 12-16 Hydrangea Festival
Jul 18-22 Sunflowers
Aug 3-9 Fireworks
Sep 15-19 Moon Viewing
Oct 29-31 Halloween
Nov 20-24 Falling Autumn Leaves
Dec 20-25 Christmas
Quick review of the games, to jog my memory and for all your curious readers out there -
The first game involves catching falling apples in a basket. They start out green, turn yellow, and fall when they turn red. Catch all 50 to win and if you miss one or accidentally catch a worm instead, the game stops there. The second game is a basic memory game where you turn over and match all the cards before time runs out. No, I did not use this picture to help me win that game, wheres the fun in that? The last game involves shooting arrows at the 3 balloons per round without hitting the skull balloon. That's timed as well (the top number) to about 10 seconds per round and the time resets each time you complete a round. The bottom number shows how many rounds you've completed. There are 15 rounds total. About halfway through, it gets a little harder because you have to avoid 2 skull balloons.
To be continued...

Eventually, I connected my 2 +C's and so Lois and Clark met for the first time. They looked happy to see each other but apparently Clark didn't want to pursue anything beyond "acquaintances" for the time being because he gifted Lois a pile of poo. Not very nice, Clark!
He went back to apologize and his gift was much more satisfactory this time around – Lois loved the bouquet of flowers.
After an hour, both evolved into toddlers, Clark into Kuribotchi, and Lois into Sakuramotchi.
Then it was off to sleep for the pair because it's not waking time over here where I am.
That's all for now with the adventures of Lois and Clark. Though I don't allow comments in my log, I'm open to comments, feedback, requests, questions, etc. through PM or profile comments. Thanks for reading, and see you next time!
Posted 06 August 2014 - 11:46 AM ( #471 )
Both Lois and Clark woke up looking like they jumped around in dirt, so after a bath, they got to...go outside and play some more.
I wanted to work on some of their happy items but remembered that I had completely reset both my +C's, so Lois and Clark are BROKE! Time to play some games.
While waiting to make some money, how about some freebie happy signs? It happened to be a clear morning this morning and so eventually, heart-shaped clouds filled the sky.
This time, I had Lois visit Clark. Again, it took a little encouragement but eventually they learned to play nice.
Clark looking livid
The way to a man's heart...
I've been slacking on posting in my log new additions to my collection as they come in, opting instead to post in the "What have you got in the mail today?" thread but I guess to make a small effort to catch up, here's what I got in the mail most recently - my Tamagotchi Fan Premium magazine and blue bag. Pretty exciting to come home to these after a long shift.
More to come soon...

Lois evolved into Ichigotchi...
...and Clark evolved into Young Mametchi.
In other news, just wanted to share that I received this in the mail recently, one of the special Asian design vintages. This one is a P2. It's the Vietnam design, which is particularly special to me because I'm Vietnamese. I love the little drawings on the shell of people in conical hats riding around in bicycles and carrying water with a shoulder pole, just like in our country.
Thanks for stopping by! More updates to come.

We all then visited TamaTama Market to purchase a magnifying glass to be used later.
One of the locations available on the +C is the prize redemption center. Every time you make a purchase at TamaTama Market, you are given a red prize ticket, which can be redeemed at the redemption center. Both Lois and Clark received some awesome prizes, which were stored away in their treasure chests.
Short update for now. Thanks for reading, and until next time!
Posted 08 August 2014 - 06:03 AM ( #474 )
They were very eager to try out their new toy, and after some time, they saw...
Did they wish upon the same shooting star?
While they were both still outside, they planted seeds in the ground. We'll see how they grow in the coming days!
I really enjoy the seasonal animations and features on the +C. Too bad they didn't really carry over to the more recent color models. Though relatively simple, I consider the +C to be one of my most treasured of the color Tamagotchis.
Thanks so much for stopping by! See you again soon.

The kids were rustling around early this morning. They both were in need of a bath again. Lois somehow managed to get outside even before bath time and so we watched as her little plant sprouted up a little more. Clark's plant eventually followed suit after bath time.
Wanted to get a picture of Lois' wiggle dance, but wound up catching the tail end of it.
The kids remembered that they had a newly-acquired magnifying glass sitting in their treasure chest so after breakfast and waiting a couple of hours (the sky doesn't turn clear with puffy, white clouds until at least 9 am) they set out to hunt for the elusive four-leaf clover.
That's all for now with Lois and Clark. Until next time!
Posted 09 August 2014 - 07:54 AM ( #476 )
I agree with you about the seasonal animations. The only different thing in the recent color ones is the animations and features outside the home in Tamagotchi P's
I'd like to give a shout-out to black candy for stopping by! Thanks for reading, and I'm glad someone shares the same opinion regarding the seasonal animations. Though I don't allow comments in my log, I appreciate them all the same. There are other ways to reach me outside of my log, whether through PM or profile comments. Again, thank you so much for reading!
Lois and Clark rounded off the rest of the day of August 8 by obtaining more happy signs. This time, a "winner" Popsicle stick did the trick.
They then visited the prize redemption center with a couple of prize tickets from previous purchases in hopes of getting the rainbow watering can. No such luck this time around, though they did get other items to store in their treasure chests. Looks like they have to play more games and earn more money to spend at TamaTama Market!
On the other hand, some items become available just by entering in passwords, like the Hapihapi seeds needed to sprout a tree with Hapihapi candy hearts, another happy item.
Those will be saved for later since only one tree can be planted at a time.
In other news, today, August 9, 2014, marks my SEVENTH year with TamaTalk. It truly has been a great ride and I hope to continue along happily with this great community.
More to come later. Thanks for stopping by!

Well, as I predicted, one of my +C's evolved into an adult before the other on the early morning of the 9th. Turns out, it was Clark who was accidentally paused for what I guessed was around 8 hours. So I paused Lois, who had evolved into Memetchi, after she went outside to check on her tree, and let Clark catch up. By the time I woke up in the afternoon to prepare for another shift at work, Clark had evolved into an adult, Mametchi. I un-paused Lois and let them be for the time being because it's too early for them to get married anyway. Besides, I wanted to work on more of the happy signs.
Unfortunately, on the morning of the 10th, Clark woke up to a full-on torrential downpour outside. His tree had disappeared too.
Strangely on my EXILE +C though, Lois was having a grand old time, and saw her tree bloom fully to reveal a cotton candy tree.
Weird. The weather remained like that respectively all day too. I know it's typhoon season over in Japan right now but it's kind of strange that both +C's aren't experiencing the same weather. Ah well, neither of them are going anywhere for the time being. I wanted to start over with the Hapihapi seeds anyway. If only the weather will permit. We'll just have to see.
That's all for now. More to come later!
Posted 11 August 2014 - 06:12 PM ( #478 )
New addition to my collection: Tamagotchi Friends!
Still no luck with the weather over on Clark's end. Too bad because this means that he can't go outside to play games and earn money for items.
The weather continues to be nice outside Lois' house. She took this opportunity to plant a Hapihapi seed. I guess one person having all happy signs (and therefore access to Gotchi King's castle) is better than none. It's still going to take a couple more days for the Hapihapi tree to produce fruit though.
Lois and Clark were still able to enjoy time together, playing connection games and giving each other gifts (poo doesn't count ).
In other exciting news, I made a Toys R Us run today and picked up two of my favorite designs of the Tamagotchi Friends, though I was very tempted to clear out their stock completely!
I'm so excited to have these as part of my collection! I'm probably going to wait to run these closer to the weekend when I have more time. I think I'd like to do a full generation of my +C's and either tab them both up or just keep them running in the background, maybe log one of them just to mix things up a bit. I probably can't do both +C's and both TF at the same time.
Thanks for stopping by! More updates to come.

August 11, 2014 (continued)
Clark remained stuck inside all day because of the weather, but since Lois was able to go outside, she played games enough to make more purchases at TamaTama Market and so she had more tickets to redeem. She finally got the rainbow watering can and after what felt like a million tries, a rainbow appeared outside on a day with puffy, white clouds.
Another happy sign down, one more to go! I could use a cheat to make the Hapihapi tree grow faster, but I'd rather not for now. I'm hoping the weather will remain nice for Lois and brighten up for Clark so we can finally get their trees to produce fruit!
Thanks for stopping by!

Greetings, fellow TamaTalkers! I'm back with another update on Lois and Clark.
So I forgot to post this on the 11th, but this should have been an indication of what was to come. Though the day started out clear in the morning, a light rain settled in for the rest of the day.
However, by the next morning...
Man, at this rate, Lois and Clark are going to be Oldies by the time a Hapihapi tree blooms!
This time, Clark experienced awesome weather so he took this opportunity to plant another Hapihapi seed...
...and to make more trips to the prize redemption center to try for that rainbow watering can.
No such luck on this day. He kept getting duplicate prizes. I called it quits after a while because I needed to get to sleep for my shift that following night. Never fear! It didn't take long before Clark tried again.
That's all for the 12th. More updates to come soon!

From the Publisher"Berkowitz integrates material often found in standard professional handbooks on this subject, with discussion and examples that make for a readable work for professionals and students...a major goal of the book, and one that Berkowitz is successful in delivering, is for the reader to recognize that the future of heavy hydrocarbons is not merely a function they can be prepared, processed, and converted into products."
—J.J. Winebrake, James Madison University CHOICE
"[The book] is comprehensive and deals with all aspects of the origin, chemical and physical properties of and industrial uses for fossil hydrocarbons...From a chemist's viewpoint, the text brings together wide-ranging facets of the overall subject and is a very useful reference text. However, it is not just a book aimed at one particular discipline and the breadth of the subject is such that anyone who wants to know how fossil hydrocarbons are formed and how they are used will find this book unbeatable. The ideas are presented in a most readable style, and the case for giving coal more serious consideration as a source of hydrocarbons is well made."
—Graham J. Hutchings, Chemistry Department at University of Wales Cardiff, CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY
"Berkowitz has written both an excellent text and reference book on the origins of fossil hydrocarbons and on the processing of petroleum products. ...an important contribution to illustrating the relationship among the full spectrum of hydrocarbons. The book also provides original materials on the processing and enhancement of fossil hydrocarbons, and on universal environmental issues. The net result is a valuable text book that fills an important information gap in understanding fossil hydrocarbons."
—ENVIRONMENTAL & ENGINEERING GEOSCIENCE, May 2000, Michael J. King, The Hydrodynamics Group

VANCOUVER Friday night s game between Skyview and Columbia River ended with a play so unusual it made its way to ESPN.
Columbia River was down by one against fierce rival Skyview with seven seconds left. Columbia River goes for a field goal and gets blocked.
Game over. At least that what nearly everybody at the game thought. Skyview fans stormed the field to celebrate.
But because the blocked ball never went past the line of scrimmage, it was still live. A Columbia River coach realized with only about two seconds left that the ball was in play. And he had just enough time to alert one of his players
I heard the coach say, Pick it up. My body just reacted, said player Reese Keller. He grabbed the ball and ran into the end zone for a touchdown, giving Columbia River the win.
Coaches always preach: You have to play all 48 minutes of the game, said coach John O Rourke. I think we played 48 minutes and five seconds.
He said he s been coaching football for more than 40 years and has never seen a play like that before.

The Hispanic Issues Section is seeking nominees for its annual awards. Awards will be given out in the following categories:
If you know of a deserving candidate in one of these categories, please use our nomination form. Additional information about the items needed for a nomination is described on the form. The nomination deadline has been extended to Wednesday, May 20!
In June 2014, I was blessed with the opportunity to serve and was sworn in as the Chair of the Hispanic Issues Section. Under the leadership of Immediate Past HIS Chair, Justice Patricia Alvarez, and the HIS Board, we had built a strong foundation last year so that our membership and community outreach efforts this year could succeed. We took the bull by the horns and got to work! So far this year, our HIS membership numbers have reached an all time high--we now have over 500 members! As more members become available to get involved and participate, the more we can get done.
Our HIS Board and membership also saw a great opportunity to serve our members and our community as our country faced a humanitarian crisis with thousands of unaccompanied minors arriving at our borders. We definitely had a mandate, and there definitely was a need! In July 2014, I reached out to the State Bar of Texas President, Trey Apffel, as well as other statewide leaders, and formed a coalition of working partners/organizations to begin training and volunteering in order to prepare Texas attorneys to provide Pro Bono services and help deal with this crisis. There was a great need for Pro Bono services to provide unaccompanied children with basic legal services to ensure these children were afforded due process of law and assistance during immigration and other court proceedings, as well as to provide humanitarian aid and assistance.
The HIS stepped up in a big way! Together, we put together an incredible coalition working together for this great cause. Workshops were organized across Texas in order to train attorneys and volunteers regarding the Immigration process. Goods and funds were collected for humanitarian aid. As just one example, a workshop that was put together in Houston drew over 500 attendees, the largest workshop of its kind to date. Several other workshops have followed. Hundreds of Texas attorneys have been trained and many Pro Bono hours have been clocked. Thanks to all that have participated. You can learn more about our efforts, and upcoming training and volunteer opportunities relating to the unaccompanied minor crisis, on the unaccompanied minor crisis page on this website.
We also recently held a reception and happy hour in McAllen, Texas – the first of what we hope are many HIS events across the state. We want to meet you! You can always find upcoming events and other information on the calendar on this website, but in closing, I want to highlight a few additional upcoming opportunities for you to connect with HIS:
I hope to see you at these and other events, and if you are not a member, I encourage you to join HIS! If you have any questions or comments about the section or its activities, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Benny Agosto, Jr.
Chair, Hispanic Issues Section, State Bar of Texas
Posted December 9, 2014
The Hispanic Issues Section has created a listing of trainings and volunteer opportunities around the state regarding the unaccompanied minor crisis. You can see the current HIS resource page by clicking here. If you have a training or volunteer opportunity you would like to see on this page, or any other comments, please email us!
The State Bar of Texas has created a comprehensive resource page that is also going to be updated constantly, and contains additional resources and information about training and volunteer opportunities, as well as information regarding the organizations, firms and individuals working together to address this crisis. The Hispanic Issues Section applauds the State Bar and its leaders for their tremendous commitment and assistance. See the State Bar of Texas resource page here.
Trey Apffel, President of the State Bar of Texas, addressed this crisis in the opinion page of the October 2014 Texas Bar Journal. See President Apffel's note here.
In addition, Chief Justice Nathan Hecht of the Texas Supreme Court has called on attorneys to volunteer to assist in this crisis. See the video here.
We have plenty of recent updates for our members and friends!
Would you like to advertise your event with us? Have a news item regarding a Hispanic Issues Section member? Please email us!
Welcome to the new website! We are looking forward to bringing members a variety of news items from Hispanic Issues Section members around Texas, as well as news on important legal issues impacting the Hispanic community. As we launch the new website, we want to hear from section members!
We are particularly interested in receiving the following information from members:
The purpose of the Hispanic Issues Section is to study and report on laws, judicial decisions and governmental regulations as they may affect the particular needs of the Hispanic community of Texas, to provide a common meeting ground and forum for members of the profession for consideration of special issues with respect to the recognition and enjoyment of constitutional rights of the Hispanic Community, both individually and collectively, and to take such action with respect thereto, all subject to our Bylaws and the laws, rules and regulations of the State Bar of Texas.

Not Your Average Fetishist
I love guys that cum fast. I enjoy guys that cum in less that 3 minutes or 1 minute. A guy that cums in his underwear or pants is the biggest turn on. I love to tease a guy in his pants until he shoots his load. I then enjoy reaching my hand down his pants into the mess and playing with his dick some more.
Nothing gets me going more than making him shoot a second time.
If this describes you (straight or gay) I would love to see a picture of video of you messing up your pants. If you are near New Mexico maybe we could meet in person.

Just curious as to how accurate that is. I think I am carrying low, but I'm hoping for a girl ;)
Who is carrying/carried low and had/is having a GIRL?
It's not at all. The gender has nothing to do with how you carry. It has to do with your personal anatomy.

i carried low with all my boys, this one im carrying high and we find out next tuesday! hoping its a girl!
I carried high with my first and he is a boy.. I have no idea how I am carrying with this one, my third.. But my second was low and he is a boy.. So i dont think it matters.. its an old wives tale..

Good morning. My name is Jonathan, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Alaska Air Group Third Quarter 2012 Earnings Conference Call. Today's call is being recorded and will be accessible for future playback at www.alaskaair.com. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to Alaska Air Group's Managing Director of Investor Relations, Chris Berry.
Chris Berry
Thanks, Jonathan, and good morning, everybody. Thank you so much for joining us for Alaska Air Group's Third Quarter 2012 Earnings Call.
Today, our CEO, Brad Tilden; and our CFO, Brandon Pedersen, will share their thoughts on our third quarter financial results, our operations and our outlook for the remainder of this year. Several members of our senior management team are also here to help answer your questions.
Our discussion today will include forward-looking statements regarding future expectations, which may differ significantly from actual results. Information on risk factors that could affect our business can be found in our SEC filings available on our website.
We will refer often to certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings or unit costs, excluding fuel. We have provided a reconciliation between the most directly comparable GAAP and non-GAAP measures in our earnings release.
This morning, Alaska Air Group reported a third quarter GAAP profit of $163.4 million. Excluding the impact of mark-to-market adjustments related to our fuel hedge portfolio, Air Group reported a record adjusted net income of $150.3 million or $2.09 per share. This result is basically in line with the First Call consensus and exceeds last year's adjusted net income of $131.1 million or $1.79 per share.
Additional information about our unit cost expectations, capacity plans, future fuel hedge positions, capital expenditures and other items can be found in our Investor Update included in our Form 8-K issued this morning and available on our website at alaskaair.com.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Brad.
Bradley D. Tilden
Thanks, Chris, and good morning, everyone. As Chris said, Alaska Air Group reported an adjusted net profit of $150.3 million this quarter versus $131.1 million last year. Our revenues increased 6.2% to nearly $1.3 billion on the strength of our low fares and the preference for our product. This is the highest quarterly profit in our history and is the 14th consecutive quarterly profit that we've reported.
Our people are working together better than ever. And to the employees listening today, I want to thank you and your colleagues for everything you did to make these results possible.
Our pretax profit margin was 19.2% this quarter versus 17.7% last year. We believe this margin leads the domestic industry. Seasonally, this is our strongest quarter. Our pretax margin for the last 12 months is 11.5%.
On a year-to-date basis, we produced $289 million of adjusted net income, and for the last 12 months that figure is $327 million. These strong earnings are driving our return on invested capital, which is 12.7% for the last 12 months and they're also enabling us to improve our balance sheet, reward our shareholders and reinvest in our business.
You've probably seen that on September 26, we announced a $250 million share buyback program. The size is roughly 10% of our current market cap and it's significantly larger than anything we have done before. The program comes on the heels of 6 programs since 2007, 5 of which have been fully executed and which together have amounted to $312 million of share repurchases and a net reduction in shares outstanding of 13%. Given what many of you have said about our valuation, we think share repurchases have been and will continue to be an excellent use of capital that will materially benefit our long-term investors.
We also just announced an order for 50 Boeing 737s, including the new 737 MAX. The new order provides for mainline fleet replacement over the next 10 years. With options, we'll have the ability to flex up if economic conditions warrant and if we are achieving our ROIC objectives. Over the last several years, we've seen the material advantage that comes from having modern, fuel-efficient aircraft that are bought at the right prices, and we're extremely pleased that we secured airplanes to continue this pattern well into the future.
The reason we're able to make commitments like the share buyback and the aircraft order is because of our earnings and our strong balance sheet. Looking at the changes in our balance sheet since 2004, which might be viewed as the peak of the post 9/11 industry crisis, our equity has increased from $665 million to $1.4 billion. Our debt and lease obligations have declined from $2.3 billion to $1.7 billion. And we've moved from 78% of our capital structure being represented by debt to 54% today. In those same 8 years, our revenues have increased from $2.7 billion to over $4.5 billion, and we've added 93 737-800s and Q400s to our fleet, 36 of which are owned free and clear.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the areas struck by severe storms and flooding beginning on March 12, 2010, and continuing.

Michigan B-Ball in Italy Schedule Set
A schedule of four basketball games over 8 days in Italy has been released. The translation from Italian into English is . . . intriguing. This is a grammar Nazi's delight.
"After winning the Big Ten title, qualified to the NCAA tournament, where reached the Elite Eight and saw their journey interrupted by Uconn, then won the title. The Wolverines have undergone considerable changes over the summer, in fact, four players were chosen by reference to NBA teams (Nick Stauskas at all with the choice of n. 8), confirming the high quality of the basketball program. It is thanks to the great tradition, and excellent recruiting system, important that these departures will be replaced by more prospects coming from High School. Among the experts is rumored to Kameron Chatman, DJ Wilson and Ricky Doyle, the NCAA will be a brief period before joining the league in which they are intended: the NBA. There are all the ingredients for a spectacular game, where the protagonist will be stronger than any college edition of College Basketball Tour."
Here is the schedule:
Aug. 17 vs. the Perugia All Star Men in Rome, Aug. 19 vs. The Big All Star Men at the Vicenza Palazzetto dello Sport, Aug. 20 vs. the Opitergium Spartans Men at the Vicenza Palazzetto dello Sport, and Aug. 22 vs. Mantova Stings in Mantua (Matova).

Memphis Tigers Hiring Father of 3 Future Recruits as Assistant Coach
"Keelon Lawson is the head coach at Hamilton High in Memphis and is the last coach to lead a city school to a state title while going unbeaten in the largest classification. He played at UAB and LeMoyne-Owen and spoke to at least two other schools (including Vanderbilt) about potentially joining their coaching staffs."
It seems that on those credentials alone it would seem fair for him to be hired as an asst. coach at Memphis. It also doesn't hurt that...
"He is the father of three heralded recruits. The oldest, K.J. Lawson, is a 6-foot-7 wingranked 37th in the country by ESPN.com. He has committed to play at Memphis.
Dedric Lawson is a 6-8 power forward in the Class of 2016 who is ranked seventh in the countryby ESPN.com. Chandler Lawson is a 6-6 wing who is ranked No. 1 overall in the Class of 2019 by one recruiting site. Jonathan Lawson is a sixth-grader who one coach said "may be the best of all of the brothers."
While this seems kind of shady its also the best of both worlds. Memphis is hiring a coach that has done well at the HS level, is a former D1 player, and had developed 3 of his sons into highly rated prospects...while also possible securing the commitments of said prospects. As long as all 4 children are allowed their freedom and not forced to choose Memphis this is a good move.
C J Lee to become Marist assistant coach
Congratulations to CJ, one the finest Michigan Men on campus. He will be missed and it will be no surprise to see him continue to rise up the coaching ladder. Beilein's staff is quality from top to bottom with guys who do things the right way on and off the court. Very happy for one of my favorite former players : )

'Paleoconservatives' Decry Immigration
Fast forward to 2003. Once a relatively mainstream anti-immigration page, VDARE has now become a meeting place for many on the radical right.
One essay complains about how the government encourages "the garbage of Africa" to come to the United States. The same writer says once the "Mexican invasion" engulfs the country, "high teenage birthrates, poverty, ignorance and disease will be what remains."
Another says that Hispanics have a "significantly higher level of social pathology than American whites. ... In other words, some immigrants are better than others." Yet another complains that a Jewish immigrant rights group is helping "African Muslim refugees" come to America.
Brimelow's site carries archives of columns from men like Sam Francis, who is the editor of the newspaper of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, a group whose Web page recently described blacks as "a retrograde species of humanity."
It has run articles by Jared Taylor, the editor of the white supremacist American Renaissance magazine, which specializes in dubious race and IQ studies and eugenics, the "science" of "race betterment" through selective breeding.
Recently, VDARE has even begun to publish the writings of Kevin MacDonald, a psychology professor at California State-Long Beach. MacDonald accuses Jews of "dominating" the "movement to change the ethnic balance of the United States by allowing mass, non-traditional [i.e., non-white] immigration."
He writes that Jews, believing "the masses ha[ve] to be deceived," frame their appeals in universalistic language. But behind that are "the Jewish agendas" of the deceivers. MacDonald also mentions "the famously heavy Jewish role" in television news.
Marching With the Confederacy
Brimelow has some remarkable things to say in his own essays. Among them, he describes the Pioneer Fund — a racist foundation that funds research like that favored by American Renaissance — as "a perfectly respectable institution."
No wonder. Brimelow also runs articles by the Pioneer Fund's new president, Jean-Phillippe Rushton, another British expatriate who teaches at the University of Western Ontario and who has been investigated for violations of Canadian hate speech laws.
Among other things, Rushton has theorized about a supposed inverse relationship between penis and brain size (meaning, in his construction, that blacks on average are more promiscuous and less intelligent than whites and Asians).
In New Orleans, Brimelow joined about 80 people who paid $250 for the two-day session to discuss "America: A European Nation." Unfortunately for him, Sam Francis was the penultimate speaker, discussing how today's immigrants "don't even know how to flush a toilet, the flushing toilet, a European invention, being a marker of civilization."
Francis went on to say that the governors of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas should be tried for treason for meeting with Mexican President Vicente Fox. By the time he was done, Brimelow had eight minutes.
Brimelow raced through his usual speech on immigration, suggesting that Third World immigration had "changed the character of America" and calling for a cap on legal immigration and deportation of all illegals.
Meanwhile, in the atrium outside the conference room where the meeting was held, a band was playing pop hits by black artists for a wedding party. As the music came pounding through the wall, Brimelow denounced it as "crap."
And what would the advocate of a whiter America rather be listening to? A 19th-century Confederate marching tune, he said.
Editor's note: Based on evidence compiled by the Intelligence Report, the Southern Poverty Law Center is adding VDARE to its list of hate sites on the Web.

Tamil Nadu-Chennai
CHENNAI, MARCH 6. There was a spurt in crime incidents in the city on Wednesday with the crimes including a Rs.2.25 lakh robbery, a chain snatching incident and a pensioner being relieved of his money in an MTC bus.
The victims of the robbery and the chain snatching incidents suffered injuries.
The incidents showed the vulnerability of senior citizens to violent attacks which were carried out boldly in public places. Often, such victims prefer not to lodge complaints, as the Police stations react indifferently and are even hostile to complainants.
The Rs.2.25 lakhs robbery occurred in front of a City Union Bank branch at Sai Nagar in Chinmaya Nagar. The manager of a medical firm Pradeep and his colleague Sakthivel came to the bank around 12-30 p.m. to deposit the money.
When they parked their vehicle, the three-member gang demanded the cash bag at knife point. When Mr.Pradeep resisted, the gangsters attacked him with a knife and sped away with the cash bag. The incident sparked a panic in the area.
In another case, a pensioner, N.Deivanayagam of Triplicane fell victim to a two-member gang in an MTC bus this afternoon. According to the victim, Mr.N.Deivanayagam, a pensioner of the State Government, was returning home in a 17 C cut service to Gemini from Vadapalani after collecting the money from a friend's house. He was proceeding to a bank in Triplicane to deposit the amount. ``In the bus, the person seated next to me diverted my attention by dropping a coin. He then asked me if it belonged to me. When I bent to pick up the coin, he apparently slit my bag and took away the cash. While alighting from the bus, I noticed the cash missing and also the slit bag. When I confronted the person who sat next to me, he threatened me. The suspect said that he did not take the money and was willing to be searched if there was any doubt. Moreover, the suspect was not alone and had some associates'', Mr.Deivanayagam said.
A resident of Karpagam Garden, Meena (56) was walking towards Damodarapurm when she was targeted by a two-member motorcycle-borne chain snatching gang.
The robbers snatched the chain from the victim at the junction of Damadorapuram and Venkateswara Nagar Main Road around 7 p.m. this evening.
A terrified Mrs Meena said, ``I suddenly felt an acute pain round my neck and it took some time to realise that a gang was snatching my gold chain. I immediately, held on to my chain and raised an alarm. Even as I resisted one of the culprits pulled harder and the chain cut. An autorickshaw driver who noticed my plight rushed to my rescue. On seeing this, the culprits sped away on their motorcycle''.
Gang held
A three-member gang which committed crimes using stolen motorcycles as getaway vehicles in Chinmaya Nagar area was arrested by the Anna Nagar range police on March 1.
The gang members confessed to snatching three chains. Four stolen motorcycles, silver and household articles worth Rs.two lakhs were recovered from them.

About 22Q
The 22q11.2 syndromes (22q11.2DS) are caused by a missing or extra piece section (microdeletion or micro duplication) of chromosome 22, which is present from conception and generally found in every body cell. Although there is no cure for the 22q11.2DS, many therapies and medical interventions are available to help address associated symptoms. The earlier symptoms are detected, the more doctors can do to help. The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is present in at least one of every 2,000 live births; in one in 68 children born with congenital heart disease; and in five to eight percent of children born with cleft palate; and is almost as common as Down syndrome, but is much less widely-known, partially because it was previously called by a number of clinical names (DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, CTAF, etc.) before the underlying cause was known to be a missing piece of chromosome that causes a wide range of health problems. The 22q11.2 duplication syndrome is about half as common as the deletion. Regardless if the deletion or duplication is present, no two affected people are ever exactly alike, and not every person with the deletion or duplication is affected in the same way. Though not always present, key characteristics include combinations and varying degrees of heart defects, feeding and gastrointestinal difficulties, problems with the immune system such as difficulty fighting infection and autoimmune diseases, growth differences, palate differences such as cleft lip/cleft palate, endocrine problems such as with low calcium or thyroid disease, cognitive and speech delay, and behavioral/emotional differences (ADHD, autism, anxiety, etc.)
About The International 22q11.2 Foundation, Inc.
The International 22q11.2 Foundation was founded in 2003. The mission of the Foundation is to raise the public profile of chromosome 22q11.2 syndromes. The Foundation is made up of a group of parents and professionals who volunteer their time and talents to further promote awareness and connect families, healthcare providers, and teaching professionals with information and resources. They are responsible for supporting educational and fundraising events and conferences. For more information, please visit http://www.22q.org

Puerto Rico sells $3.5B in bonds, sees high demand
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico sold $3.5 billion in general obligation bonds on Tuesday in the largest issue of its kind for the U.S. territory, which is struggling to pay off $70 billion in public debt.
The bonds were being sold at a minimum price of $100,000, luring mostly hedge fund investors in a sale handled by Barclays, Morgan Stanley and RBC Capital Markets. The bond issue had been initially set for $3 billion but was increased to $3.5 billion due to demand.
Orders were received from 270 different accounts and surpassed $16 billion, according to Puerto Rico's Government Development Bank, which oversees the island's debt transactions.
"It's something people did not think was achievable just a week ago," said David Tawil, co-founder and portfolio manager of New York-based Maglan Capital. "They were able to go ahead and up the size of the issuance. That gives them more room, more liquidity."
He said in a phone interview that an 8.7 percent yield also caught the attention of the private wealth community, which helped boost sales.
"The market is starved for yield," he said.
Puerto Rico's credit rating was recently downgraded to junk status, and the bond sale was being closely watched by U.S. investors who feared last year that the U.S. territory would default as it braced for its eighth year in recession.
The sale will likely give Puerto Rico less than two years' time to strengthen its economy, said Triet Nguyen, founder of Axios Advisors LLC, an Illinois-based independent municipal research and investment advisory company.
"It's just a short-term solution," he said in a phone interview. "It does help because the commonwealth will not be forced to default or restructure for a little while yet. It buys them some time."
Puerto Rico's Government Development Bank said Tuesday that the government will receive some $3.2 billion in net proceeds and that $900 million of that will be used to refinance debt, among other things. The bank said it would receive a $1.9 billion liquidity infusion.
The bond issue marks the first time in two years that the island has sold general obligation bonds, which are backed by Puerto Rico's constitution. Also appeasing investors was a bill that Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla signed last week that allows them to sue in New York courts.
A 250-page statement that the Government Development Bank released last week warned that there were significant risks to buying the bonds, including that it might not be able to pay the debt service.
In addition, it warned that recent downgrades to the island's credit rating could raise its cost of borrowing and affect the bank's liquidity.
"Although (the bank) has previously assisted the Commonwealth in satisfying its obligations...there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to provide such assistance in the future," it said. "If the Commonwealth's financial condition does not improve, it may need to implement emergency measures that may include a restructuring, moratorium or other actions affecting creditors' rights."

Please help. Why isn't he calling me?
So this guy I've known for about a year started talking to me more two months ago and we became friends. He showed me many signals of wanting to be... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Without knowing more it's hard to say. My best guess would be that he is waiting for you to take a next step. Maybe he likes you but is unsure about your feelings. You say he knows you like him but that might not be the case. Women are notorious for sending obvious signals (translated to guys: subtle signals) and guys are notorious for being oblivious to the signals.
Maybe you came off defensive during the conversation asking him why he was "questioning" you. (I'm not sure what you mean) and it made him feel too forward.
You only mention him calling you... Did you call him too? Maybe he felt closer to you too and hoped you would call after that. Guys need to feel wanted too or they lose interest. Maybe he felt he was bothering you in a way if the calls didn't go both ways.
Also, you wrote in your text, "if not that's cool too." But it's not cool, because you are freaking out a little bit, right? Don't sound wishy washy or neutral. Either tell him you miss him and want him to call, period. Or call him yourself and tell him you missed him.
Maybe he didn't call because something came up. Don't worry about it. But it does sound like its still your move.
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 2
I would just try to forget about this guy because it sounds like he doesn't have the guts to let you know that he is no longer interested. Stop tripping off of him and then maybe he will be more clear about how he really feels about you. I have had this same problem; the guy staring at me, but not calling me and only calling me when he wants sex, etc. I just got tired of it and said to myself "you know what....you are too good to be getting treated this way and if a guy cannot appreciate that, then good riddens to him." Ever since, my life has been a whole lot better. No more confusion, no more waiting by the phone feeling lonely and frustrated and betrayed,no more of that. And if those guys do call again, I don't feel like I owe them any explanation, because they never game ME one! I am learning how to be happy without a guy in my life, especially one that only wants to play games with me and come in and out of it using me and taking advantage of me, and not appreciating the person that I am. It is really true that life is too short to be living that way. If this guy in your life doesn't have the guts to call you, or at least have the guts to tell you SOMETHING, then is he really worth it? Probably not.
Wow...you just helped ME out here even tho ur answer is a year old lol.
Have an opinion?

Lost Planet 3 Review: Left Out in the Cold 2
Lost Planet 3 is lifeless – a shooter without a soul – though not for a lack of trying. Spark Unlimited is a studio of what-ifs. What if Winston Churchill's premature death meant The Third Reich conquered Great Britain and invaded North America during World War II? What if Pandora's Box was a real mystical artifact, and an art thief's curiosity loosed griffins, werewolves, and minotaurs upon Earth's cities?
