This Large Cosmetic Case offers plenty of room for all your essentials. Elegant and functional, it's an accessory no woman should be without! Made with genuine leather, our Large Cosmetic Case opens up to reveal a large interior pocket for your makeup, compacts, brushes, nail polish, and other things. A nylon lining inside gives your items a safe place to rest while the zipper opening on top keeps everything secure when it's closed up. Whether for travel or everyday use, this Large Cosmetic Case is something any woman can appreciate.
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
I just received this in the stone color - beautiful! I have this in the Cognac color also. I am very pleased with both choices.
This is my 10th item from here and my husband is ordering one for me. I love everything I have purchased here. It is very soft leather. This case is designed narrow to keep the makeup from flying around in it. It is a little more firm than the other items I purchased, but it needs to be for the purpose. The shipping is ultra fast and the presentation of the packaging is above par and will be ready for gift giving. -B
Soft buttery feel of a quality inspired leather piece. This will be long coveted. Thank you for craftsmanship that is found in each piece.
I purchased this as a gift for a coworker and she loved it! The quality of the leather was good and I had it monogrammed, which was well done. I personally would have liked the monogram to be larger and have the option of a more feminine font though. The gift box it came in was also beautiful. The only thing I do not like about the product designs, in general, is how Leatherology is printed on some of the items. I prefer their stitched "L" logo, but that is just me. Overall good value.
I sent it back to exchange for the smaller size.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

what is sart?
Southern Connecticut State University's Sexual Assault Resource Team (SART) is designed to provide a collaborative victim-centered team response to sexual misconduct (sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual exploitation). The mission of SART is to provide services that ensure a transition from victim to survivor for every individual whose life is impacted by sexual misconduct. The SART members can provide a survivor with many supportive options including counseling, medical attention, judicial services, advocacy, law enforcement, referrals, and general information regarding sexual violence.
Assistance with on-campus living arrangements, classes, work schedule and other accommodations following an incident will be provided to whatever extent possible and reasonable.
SART members are here to provide survivors with support and resources that will help empower them to make the best decisions impacting their safety and healing.
For a printable packet of information on SART, reporting options, and more, please click here.
For a printable SART brochure click here.
For more information on the members of the Sexual Assault Resource Team (including contact information) please click here.
Should a survivor choose to file a police report, the University Police and Women's Center staff will assist her or him with the reporting process. We will strive to empower the survivor to make her or his own decisions by providing on- and off-campus resources, and then offer support as needed.
Confidential reporting, meaning you can disclose in complete confidence, can be made
to on and off campus support centers, including SCSU Counseling Services, SCSU Health Services, 24 hour hotline staff members, and clergy. Please see the list of contact information for SART members and those who are identified as "CONFIDENTIAL RESOURCE." Catherine Christy, University Victim Advocate, has limited confidentiality, meaning
she is confidential unless subpoenaed.
mandated reporting
The SART members will keep confidentiality to the best of their ability. Details of the crime that are shared with staff members of the university community, including SART members, who do not have confidentiality are mandated to report this information. However, providing the details of a crime is NOT necessary for SART members to assist survivors. SART has members from Counseling Services and Health Services who DO have confidentiality, and all other SART members can support/advocate for survivors, but a survivor should not provide unsolicited information such as names, dates, location, etc. to them unless they want this information to be reported to the Interim Title IX Coordinator, Dr. Jules Tetreault.
The Sexual Assault Resource Team has been designated by the Division of University and Student Affairs to handle sexual misconduct cases. The team includes a coordinator and designated individuals from throughout the university. For information or to report a sexual misconduct case, students may contact any member of the team. The Sexual Assault Resource Team is available to help anyone who reports a violation of the sexual misconduct policy.
In cases of immediate danger or an emergency, call the University Police at 911.

putting any buttons (power or not) on the taskbar is a bad bad idea. I'd rather have the full length of taskbar for my own use.
You know, I actually had a look at the default state of the taskbar/system tray in Windows 8, and realized that, if you put the cogwheel icon there you could even theoretically eliminate the existing system tray icons (or make them hidden), since they are both duplicated in the settings charm.
Start button was not a bad idea but system tray icons and the "show desktop" button introduced in Win7 are surely are. "It's simple, just add a button to taskbar" is a bad design - think years of system tray abuse, weird toolbars by everyone including Microsoft.
If that's considered to be too radical, after all the icons serve to inform you of the network status, signal strength and volume level, so you might want to have them in permanent view (even though Microsoft have decided against that in the Metro environment and have even decided to eliminate the time, so, who knows really) then another option would be to hide the disclosure triangle and only have it appear when you hover over the system tray area. In that case you would end up with the same number of icons in the default state.
Combine the two suggestions, and you could even eliminate all three icons from the task bar. Which you could also achieve by integrating the system tray into the Settings Charm somehow, although Microsoft would probably want to prevent that from happening.
The elimination of these icons would in fact be more consistent with the Metro environment than it currently is, and would, as Dot Matrix might say, "reduce clutter". At that point the task bar in its "natural state" would essentially consist of 3 visible UI elements, search icon, settings icon, the launcher, plus the clock. And since all (including the clock) are relevant both to the Metro environment as well as to the Desktop environment, at least as soon as Metro apps get their spot on the task bar, you could, at that point, allow Mouse/trackpad users in Metro's full screen mode to move their cursor to whatever screen edge they have their task bar positioned at, and have the task bar be temporarily revealed, for increased consistency with the Desktop environment. In fact, if a mouse or trackpad is used as the input device, right-clicking to show the Metro app bar might bring up the task bar at the same time.

Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your spleen — an organ that sits under your rib cage on the left side of your abdomen. The spleen helps fight infection and filters unneeded material, such as old or damaged blood cells. Although your bone marrow produces most of your blood products, the spleen also produces red blood cells and certain types of white blood cells.
The most common reason for splenectomy is to treat a ruptured spleen, often caused by an abdominal injury. Splenectomy may be used to treat other conditions, including enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), some blood disorders, certain cancers, infection, and noncancerous cysts or tumors.
Splenectomy is most commonly performed using a tiny video camera and special surgical tools (laparoscopic splenectomy).
Splenectomy is used to treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions. Your doctor may recommend splenectomy if you have one of the following:
Although it's uncommon, your doctor may recommend splenectomy if your spleen is enlarged and no cause for the enlargement can be found using diagnostic tests such as blood work or imaging exams.
Splenectomy is generally a safe procedure. But as with any surgery, splenectomy carries the potential risk of complications.
Potential complications include:
After spleen removal, you're more likely to contract serious or even life-threatening infections. Following splenectomy, your doctor may recommend you receive a pneumonia vaccine and yearly flu vaccines. In some cases, preventive antibiotics may be recommended as well, especially if you have other conditions that increase your risk of serious infections.
To prepare for splenectomy and if there is time before the surgery, you may need to:
Your doctor will give you specific instructions to help you prepare.
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) splenectomy. During laparoscopic splenectomy, the surgeon makes four small incisions in your abdomen. A tube with a tiny video camera is inserted into your abdomen through one of the incisions. Your surgeon watches the video images on a monitor in the operating room as special surgical tools are inserted through the other incisions in your abdomen and your spleen is removed. The incisions are then closed.
Laparoscopic splenectomy isn't appropriate for everyone. A ruptured spleen usually requires open splenectomy. In some cases your surgeon may begin with a laparoscopic approach and find it necessary to make a larger incision because of scar tissue from previous operations or other complications.
If you have a splenectomy due to a ruptured spleen, further treatment usually isn't necessary. If splenectomy was performed to treat another disorder, additional treatment may be required, depending on your medical situation.
After splenectomy, other organs in your body take over most of the functions previously performed by your spleen. You can live an active life without a spleen, but you're more likely to contract serious or even life-threatening infections. To guard against infections, your doctor may recommend a pneumonia vaccine, as well as yearly flu vaccines. In some cases, preventive antibiotics may be recommended as well, especially if you have other conditions that increase your risk of serious infections.
After a splenectomy, notify your doctor at the first sign of an infection. Make sure anyone caring for you knows that you've had your spleen removed. Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet that indicates you don't have a spleen.

Baby Star
Filed Under (Babies, Commercial) by Shannon Stewart on 30-10-2008'); ?>
Have you guys seen the website for Baby Star?? They have some of the cutest products for little babies, everything from blankees to bedding and now apparel! Madison has two of their mini blankees and we love them so much. She uses them for her dolls, she uses them in the stroller and we use them in the car … I could go on and on about them, we simply love them!
The new apparel line is so adorable! It's a modern look with simple fabrics and super cute colors. When Dana at Baby Star asked me to shoot some of their new sets I was more then excited. I love her pieces and it was such an honor to be asked. I brought in two of my favorite tiny tot models, Kenley and Drew.
I have a lot to share (a lot) so I'll post Kenley's pictures first with Drew to follow tomorrow. Words can't even begin to describe how dang cute this little girl is!!!

Harley Earl, the General Motors VP/Director of Styling and Design who unveiled the very first concept vehicle, and whose "dream" cars such as the GM LeSabre defined the Motoramas of the 1950s, occupies a very special place in the history of the Corvette.
Earl is considered by many historians to be the father of the Corvette, for it was his wild imagination that gestated the idea. The inspiration, or "muse," as Earl's grandson Richard explains it, was the time Earl spent with the LeSabre concept car, specifically when he chaperoned it and drove it as the pace car at an auto race in Watkins Glen, New York, in September 1951.
In a January 1954 interview with Detroit journalist Stanley H. Brams, Earl acknowledged his parental role in the Corvette's creation. "The Corvette was a little thing that I started," Earl said. "I ran that LeSabre up pacing a sports-car race at Watkins Glen, and that's where I got the idea."
Throughout the Corvette's introduction year, Earl was the car's biggest proponent within GM. It was he who staged the parade of 28 red, white, and black Corvettes that cruised down a Southern California freeway on May 1953. If he wanted somebody to have a Corvette-for TV, movies, publicity, or as a favor-he always got his way. One notable example was the second '53 Corvette off of the Flint, Michigan, assembly line. It went to Earl's younger brother, William "Bill" Earl, with a license plate that read "FLA," simply because that's the way Harley wanted it. (This particular Corvette was used by the Earl family in South Florida, where they vacationed in the 1950s.)
In the mid- and late-'50s Earl worked on space-age experimental cars that he dreamed would someday fill the highways and city streets across America. He designed and developed the Firebird I, Firebird II, and Firebird III gas-turbine "cars of the future," and devoted his final years at GM to the Cadillac Cyclone, a dream car that was light-years ahead of its time. In December 1958 Earl retired from GM, after years of what is considered by many to be the golden age of not only the automobile-design profession, but also the entire American auto industry.
In 1959, Earl moved to a new home at 995 South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach, Florida. "Harley and Sue Earl lived in a modest, three-bedroom, Bermuda-styled house on the beach," recalls Harley's daughter-in-law, Connie Earl. "He liked to take long beach walks and often went fishing for pompano, knowing that they are excellent eating. Most of the time, Harley kept to himself. I don't think anyone knew him well. His number one love in life, even over his family, was automobiles.
"Many people would slow up and do a drive-by of Harley's oceanfront house, to see the rare Corvettes designed by him, or sneak a peek to see if any other GM Motorama 'dream' cars were there, like the LeSabre or the Oldsmobile F88 II or F88 III," Connie continues. "Back then, during practically anytime in the 1960s, you couldn't miss seeing a sunburst-colored Corvette sitting on Harley's driveway, soaking up the Florida sun."
Harley Earl died in 1969, and the days of wild, custom Corvettes at the Earl household drew to a close. "I remember in the early '70s, when getting into Grandma Sue's yellow Firebird, she'd sometimes say how sad it was to no longer drive one-of-a-kind Corvettes. She'd remind us that once Harley passed away, GM stopped supplying free Corvettes to us," Connie says.
GM never had a need to photograph the one-of-a-kind Corvettes that populated the driveway of Harley's Palm Beach house, but the Earl family took pictures of these and the other notable cars that arrived there on a frequent basis. The vast majority of the surviving photos are from the years 1963-1967. According to Harley's grandson Richard, "We had many more photos, but they were destroyed accidentally in the 1970s."
So come with us now, as we tell a story that has been waiting more than 40 years to be told: the Corvettes in Harley Earl's driveway.

Great Ball Contraption: A call for a Central Europe Group
Jim's posting of the link to the GBC video gingered me up to address something that has been in my mind for some weeks now: creating my first own NXT-based GBC module.
In my opinion, the Great Ball Contraption is a great idea by Steve Hassenplug, setting up some kind of standardized interface for LEGO® based modules to enable them to interact.
Obviously, the real fun here is to actually meet other GBC makers and physically interconnect ones' modules, pleased watching the whole machinery running smoothlessly.
As not least the video mentioned above shows, there already are GBC groups doing exactly this in North America - yet, I'm not aware of any such ones in Central Europe (apart from some individual efforts, for instance by Philo or Jürgen Stuber - if I'm wrong here, please tell me!).
So (picking up an idea of Jürgen) this is a call for participants in such a Central Europe GBC Group to-be - whoever is interested, please drop a comment to this blog entry (or, if you don't want to expose yourself yet, use the contact section of my NXT pages).
Looking forward to your feedback,
Matthias Paul

There is also a GBC activity in ItLUG, as you can see in the program of upcoming LegoFest.
The GBC at LegoWorld 2005 featured modules from FreeLUG and ItLUG members.

Merci Philo,
for hinting that to me.
Ballabio is not that far from here (yet, first of July isn't neither).
I take it that the French LEGO Users Group is pretty active, isn't it (GBB seems to be the french acronym of GBC)? - I've added a link to a page with nice images to my GBC page (alongside with the GBC LegoWorld 2005 one).

Some people at BeLUG are also starting to get in the GBC mood - actually what we saw at LegoWorld 2005 left such an imprint on us that we couldn't pass on that (honestly, starting by copying Philo's modules - instructions are quite detailed)
We've only done very local exhibitions so far, and with a few modules only; but we might be willing to participate in a common effort (LegoWorld 2006 certainly)
I'll bring my own modules for Fana'briques in Rosheim (Alsace) beginning of July; unfortunately I've been told I'd be the only one; so indeed it's be nice to start some coordination efforts (FreeLUG being probably in the best position to do so, but that's my opinion).

As a matter of fact, Rosheim is not far from where I live! So I'm decidedly going to try to attend (and bringing some GBC modules to-be along).
Could you provide me with some advice on how to register? Are you aware of some possibilities of staying overnight (the Tour de France will start near there at the very weekend, so most likely rooms will to be rather hard to attain, won't they?).
Thanks for hinting that to me,
Matthias Paul
- Jun 20, 2006, 9:01:00 PM
Here is the annoucement for Fana'Briques 2006 on FreeLUG's site.
I sent you a mail through your contact form with more information.
I hope to see you there!

Hi All
I couldn't find an intro thread, so apologies for begging straight away on my first thread.
I'm trying to find a contact address for Terry or his assistant. A very good friend of ours is suffering from terminal brain cancer, and though I know Terry has major problems of his own, if he was able to send a short message to my friend, Noggin, I know it would mean the world to him.
At the moment, Noggin can't do much except lie there, although he seems to be fairly aware inside, it's just his body that's not working properly. He has some Terry Pratchett audio books (Making Money and Nations) to keep him company, though he is finding it hard to concentrate for long periods of time.
Is anyone able to help?

Hi all. I am creating a short notice costume and I have a question I cant seem to find the answer to so am turn to the experts once again. (I have also posted on the discworld monthy fb page, I don't mean to spam, I am just not sure where it is more likely to be answered)
I think I remember reading in Sourcery that Conina is blond and wears a 'white dress with flowers along the bottom'.
Is that right? I don't have the book itself and so cant re-read to check. Or am I getting her mixed up with a white dress that Lady Margolotta wears at some stage

To me he has to best form and every shooter should try and copy his technique.
Here is my selection: http://innovativeathletes.com/
What do you guys think?
Founder of the worlds first ever online basketball camp, 3-Point Academy
Our home website; Innovative Athletes
Email: email@example.com
The best shooter in the nba is, without a doubt, Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics.
I am not a fan of those guys, but it is undeniable that he can shoot the ball!!!
Has to be Ray Allen his stroke is automatic. I feel like everyone is second best to him, even at 34 Allen still strokes it like he is 22.
Totally agree with you Brett, Ray Allen is also my choice!
you have to add Melo to the mix as well
Garnett has killer form on the turn around jump shot
Steve Nash
you guys are all wrong i might be a girl but Kobe Bryant has the best form in the nba.
Kobe Bryant His jumpshot is money and his form is just the way the book says
arm tucked in
find target
follow through
not garnett because he shoots from the back of his head...
not kobe beacause his form isnt textbook but he can shoot good...
not steve nash because he has an unorthodox form....
melo and ray allen have good form and they make a lot of their shots
You're all wrong, it's obviously Shaq
To me I would say its Jesus Shuttlesworth aka Ray Allen
Combine street ball with professional regulation and you get the most creative athelete the game's probably seen after Allen Iverson. Dwyane Wade has the prettiest looking jump shot I've seen in awhile. He's starting to knock down three's in the face of the D, so now he's virtually unguardable.
steve nash.hes on pace to break the season record for when FG% FT% AND 3 PT% ARE combined.he already has the 3, 4 and 5 spot.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by bellaw tan boot Hi, i think these are good value for the sale price. My only issue is that they look a bit too new. Mine do not have the buffed sections where the colour is uneven. They are quite shiny and not distressed. In saying that I think I can just wear them in and create the distressed look. 8.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rumnroses <3 <3 <3 I don't know why these boots are getting such negative feedback-they are awesome! The studio pictures are obviously of a pair that are worn in, and mine will look like that in no time. Yes, the black is solid on the toe, but scuff them up a bit and it won't take long for them to look just like the pics. The style is so cute, and they are uber comfy! I looked at other reviews, and chose to go with a 39 - I am an 8, and they fit great, with room for socks if needed. LOVE these boots, great price, great quality! 7.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by piratejacques Really Like These I really like these boots! I ordered the "Taupe" color. These boots are actually really easy for me to get in and out of, I just slip them on/off and don't have to deal with any buckles or zippers. I understand why there are a lot of bad reviews, as the studio shots are not the most accurate portrayal of what you will receive. I set my expectations based upon the FPMe pictures and the pictures in the reviews, as those are very accurate. My only complaint is that one of the top buckle straps had a hole that was not punched through all the way. Unfortunately, as I struggled to punch the hole all the way, the strap got a bit damaged, so sad. :( 7.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by loveyouduh love these! b/c I couldn't afford the real boots I wanted for $250, I opted for these b/c they were on sale and gave off that sweet/tough look that defines my style and I'd have to say... I absolutely love it more and more! I got the charcoal and they go with pretty much anything! Been getting compliments left and right and I just feel good in them. thanks free! 6.28.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by jessicalouiserya Very Disappointing I was so excited when these came on sale, but I've just recieved mine today and I'm pretty disappointed. The shoes are nothing like the picture, the black on the toe is not mesy but rather a clean line across the top. The beautiful tan leather pictured is nothing like I have recieved, my shoes look and smell very cheap. The shoes pictured look SO great :( I'm sending these back as they are not the same shoe pictured. Free People I love you, but I really think that this is false advertising! 6.20.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by mf_in_la boots are not as shown in photo i would look at these boots online EVERYDAY and was so obsessed with them. i finally decided to order them (in the tan/brown color) when they went onsale, buying 2 sizes (7.5 and 8) since i heard they ran small. I'm a true 7.5 and needed the 8 in these. They are very comfy and nicely made, however, they do NOT look like the photo on the website. They are much more dull in person and the distressed area on the toe area is less of scuffed look and more of a straight blackish ombre. my heart sank a little when i saw these boots in person. i'm returning both pair to a nearby free people store. 6.20.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by becauzxofxyou Fashionably Difficult I was expecting a complicated and difficult first put on. I mean, buckle, ties, and zipper never go well and I did have to pull my ties through the hole and re punch holes in the buckle. But, it is a very cool fashionable boot. Very comfy and stylish. And once you get through your first wear, I'm sure they're more enjoyable and easy to wear 6.6.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Katiebau Awesome! Go the Charcoal! After reading the reviews I was hesitant, but I saw a video on the blog, named 60 second styling where FPMandy was modelling the charcoal coloured booties, and I purchased them straight away. They look better on your feet than when you first get them out of the box, but look so awesome with any outfit. I love the look of the boot from the back with the two buckles. I think the quality for the price matches. To me they aren't expensive boots, I'm used to $300 boots, so I thought these were reasonable. The only downside is that they ran small for me. Not in width but in length, they felt really short, like your toes have to curl up to fit in them.I am a size 8/39 , but had to reorder the boot in a size 40. The 40 feels better, a bit wide, but better in length, and will be perfect with any kind of socks, thick or thin. These boots are great. I would recommend them in the charcoal. Can't wait to wear them with pretty much everything! 5.6.2013

Hermes Trismegistus (Greek: Ἑρμῆς ὁ Τρισμέγιστος, "thrice-great Hermes"; Latin: Mercurius ter Maximus) is the syncretism of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. In Hellenistic Egypt, the Egyptian god Thoth was given as epithet the Greek name of Hermes. He has also been identified with Enoch. Other similar syncretized gods include Serapis and Hermanubis.
Hermes Trismegistus might also be explained in Euhemerist fashion as a man who was the son of the god, and in the Kabbalistic tradition that was inherited by the Renaissance, it could be imagined that such a personage had been contemporary with Moses, communicating to a line of adepts a parallel wisdom, from Zoroaster to Plato.
Modern scholarship, however, does not find a single and ancient individual behind the name:
"The Asclepius and the Corpus Hermeticum [attributed to Hermes Trismegistus], which are the most important of the Hermetica which have come down to us, are probably to be dated between A.D. 100 and 300. [...] They were certainly not written in remotest antiquity by an all-wise Egyptian priest, as the Renaissance believed, but by various unknown authors, all probably Greeks, and they contain popular Greek philosophy of the period, a mixture of Platonism and Stoicism, combined with some Jewish and probably some Persian influences.
Both Thoth and Hermes were gods of writing and of magic in their respective cultures. Thus, the Greek god of interpretive communication was combined with the Egyptian god of wisdom as a patron of astrology and alchemy. In addition, both gods were psychopomps; guiding souls to the afterlife.
The majority of Greeks, and later Romans, did not accept Hermes Trismegistus in the place of Hermes. The two gods remained distinct from one another. Cicero noted several individuals referred to as "Hermes" (De natura deorum III, Ch. 56):
The Hermetic literature added to the Egyptian concerns with conjuring spirits and animating statues that inform the oldest texts, Hellenistic writings of Greco-Babylonian astrology and the newly developed practice of alchemy (Fowden 1993: pp65–68). In a parallel tradition, Hermetic philosophy rationalized and systematized religious cult practices and offered the adept a method of personal ascension from the constraints of physical being, which has led to confusion of Hermeticism with Gnosticism, which was developing contemporaneously
As a divine fountain of writing, Hermes Trismegistus was credited with tens of thousands of writings of high standing, reputed to be of immense antiquity. Plato's Timaeus and Critias state that in the temple of Neith at Sais, there were secret halls containing historical records which had been kept for 9,000 years. Clement of Alexandria was under the impression that the Egyptians had forty-two sacred writings by Hermes, encapsulating all the training of Egyptian priests. Siegfried Morenz has suggested (Egyptian Religion) "The reference to Thoth's authorship...is based on ancient tradition; the figure forty-two probably stems from the number of Egyptian nomes, and thus conveys the notion of completeness." The Neo-Platonic writers took up Clement's "forty-two essential texts".
The so-called "Hermetic literature", the Hermetica, is a category of papyri containing spells and induction procedures. In the dialogue called the Asclepius (after the Greek god of healing) the art of imprisoning the souls of demons or of angels in statues with the help of herbs, gems and odors, is described, such that the statue could speak and prophesy. In other papyri, there are other recipes for constructing such images and animating them, such as when images are to be fashioned hollow so as to enclose a magic name inscribed on gold leaf.
The classical scholar Isaac Casaubon in De Rebus sacris et ecclesiaticis exercitiones XVI (1614) showed, by the character of the Greek, the texts that were traditionally written at the dawn of time, to be more recent: most of the "philosophical" Corpus Hermeticum can be dated to around AD 300. However, flaws in this identification were uncovered by the 17th century scholar Ralph Cudworth, who argued that Casaubon's allegation of forgery could only be applied to three of the seventeen treatises contained within the Corpus Hermeticum. Moreover, Cudworth noted Casaubon's failure to acknowledge the codification of these treatises as a late formulation of a pre-existing (possibly oral) tradition. According to Cudworth, the text must be viewed as a terminus ad quem and not a quo.
In some of the readings of Edgar Cayce, Hermes or Thoth was an engineer from the submerging Atlantis and he built or designed or directed the construction of the Pyramids of Egypt.
Within the occult tradition, Hermes Trismegistus is credited with several wives, and more than one son who took his name, as well as more than one grandson. This repetition of given name and surname throughout the generations may at least partially account for the legend of his longevity, especially as it is believed that many of his children pursued careers as priests in the religion he started.

Academic freedom is prized as essential to Marquette University and to
its living growth as a university. Professorial academic freedom is that
proper to the scholar-teacher, whose profession is to increase knowledge
in himself/herself and in others. As proper to the scholar-teacher,
academic freedom is grounded on competence and integrity.
When scholar-teachers carry on their academic lives in educational
institutions, integrity requires both respect for the objectives of the
institution in which they choose to carry on their academic lives and
attention to the task of reevaluating these objectives as a necessary
condition of living growth in human institutions.
The University, because it prizes academic freedom, proposes the
following safeguards* to that freedom:
(a) The teacher is entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of results, subject to the adequate performance of
his/her other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of
the institution.
(b) The teacher is entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing his/her subject. This freedom must be integrated with the right of
the students not to be victimized and the rights of the institution to have its accepted aims respected.
(c) The college or university teacher is a citizen, a member of a learned profession, and an officer of an educational institution.
When he/she speaks or writes as a citizen, he/she should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but his/her special
position in the civil community imposes special obligations. As a man/woman of learning and an educational officer, he/she should remember that the public may judge his/her profession and
institution by his/her utterances. Hence, he/she should at all times
be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort
to indicate that he/she is not an institutional spokesperson.
*Adapted from the Statement of Principles of Academic Freedom officially endorsed in 1941 by the American Association of Colleges and the American Association of University Professors.
Sensitive to the needs of its faculty and in the interests of justice in
all that it does, the University invites any faculty person who has what
he or she considers to be a significant and reasonable grievance to make
use of the appeals procedures available at Marquette University. Faculty
who have a grievance in any matter are free to make their objection to the pertinent Chairperson, and, if not satisfied at this level, to appeal to the
Dean. If necessary, appeals beyond the Dean may be made to the Provost.
In addition, it is understood that faculty may elect to appeal an administrative decision to the Faculty Council, although normally this would not occur until after the grievance had been brought through the administration, at least to the level of the Provost. To respond to faculty grievances the Faculty Council has as one of
its standing subcommittees the Faculty Hearing Committee. The
Faculty Council is advisory to the Provost and will, therefore, make
its recommendations on a grievance matter to the Provost. The President
will be sent copies of such recommendations. The Provost will insist upon appropriate cooperation from pertinent University administrators in connection
with any given appeal.
**Detailed procedures are available either from the chairperson of the
Faculty Council or from the chairperson of the Faculty Hearing Committee.
Information on the policy concerning university closing can be obtained from University Policies and Procedures (UPP 6-05 /Severe Weather) (restricted to campus)
Except for official sabbaticals or leaves of absence, released time provided by research grants or administrative appointments, special ad hoc arrangements
that permit teaching to be concentrated in one term during a particular
academic year or other official exemptions, faculty are expected to participate
fully in the teaching program of the University during each regular term of the academic year. Teaching loads, which may vary from time to time, are
determined by the dean of each college of school in consultation with the
faculty, the department chairperson and the provost.
It is expected that classes will be held at the time and place specified, for the
full time assigned. The absence from class of an instructor should be a rare occurrence. If an absence is anticipated, arrangements should be made for a substitute. In emergencies, the Chairperson of the Department should be
notified. All instructors are expected to begin and end their classes promptly
and according to the scheduled times. Formally scheduled final examinations
are to be given only during the time periods officially announced.
University faculty are teacher-scholars whose research and publications are expected to continue throughout their active careers. Teaching loads at the University generally reflect the assumption that a significant part of the faculty member's time will be devoted to research.
Another aspect of faculty activity is service to the department, the college or
school, and the University. Service as administrators and committee
members is an important part of faculty status.
Faculty members are expected to spend a suitable number of hours per
week on campus and to accommodate themselves to the reasonable
scheduling of courses, laboratories, clinics, faculty meetings and committee assignments. Moreover, faculty members are also expected to be easily
available to their colleagues. During certain specified hours each week every faculty member should be in his/her office, where he/she can be available to students and members of the administration. Both his/her office and teaching hours should be posted and recorded with the Department and the Dean.
Faculty members are expected to attend Convocations, Baccalaureate Exercises, and Commencement Exercises.
+ Revised with expanded explanatory language, August 2003
Given the practically limitless potential for perfecting one's work as a faculty member, it is understood that faculty "workload" is not usually considered in
terms of a fixed number of hours. Mastery of a discipline, and the teaching
and research that are both the road to mastery and the manifestations of it,
demand all the resources and commitment that faculty can bring to them.
Faculty members have substantial discretion in ordering their day to day professional obligations. Aware that many of the professional activities of its
faculty represent significant contributions outside the University, and
appreciative of its own institutional need for its faculty to achieve reputations
that reflect credit on it, the University encourages all external activity that is consistent with the faculty member's University responsibilities and his or her
fullest professional development as a teacher and scholar. It is the University's expectation that full time faculty will give primary attention and loyalty to their University responsibilities and duties. The University trusts that the professional integrity of the faculty will ensure that no occasion will arise for action upon
charges of neglect of duty.
For professional activities outside the University, therefore, unless otherwise
defined by specific appointment, the University understands in general that
one day per seven day week, averaged on a reasonable basis, is the maximum additional time that can be accommodated for faculty under full-time University contract. Outside professional activities shall not be understood to reduce the
faculty member's responsibilities to the University. The University expects that
the faculty member will consult with his or her Chairperson and Dean in
advance of any significant commitment. Faculty engaged in outside professional activities must comply with all other applicable University policies (e.g. conflicts
of interest, restrictions on use of University resources).
It is expected that a member of the full-time faculty will not be engaged to
teach full time or part time at any other educational institution while under
contract to Marquette University and not on an official leave of absence for
purposes of teaching elsewhere. For purposes of this paragraph, educational institution should be broadly understood to include traditional educational
institutions as well as less traditional institutions such as for-profit institutions
and distance learning providers. Accordingly, no full-time member of the
faculty is free to teach at any other educational institution while under
contract to Marquette University without explicit clearance in writing from
his/her Dean.
+ Revised with expanded explanatory language, August 2003
Information on religious activities can be obtained from the
Marquette University Handbook for Employees page 58-59.
In the interest of communication, full-time and part-time members of the
faculty who wish to engage in direct political activity (e.g., running for political
office, managing a campaign, directing group action in behalf of a political
candidate or issue) are expected to inform the Provost before engaging in
this work.
At Marquette, "misconduct in scholarship is defined as fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other practices that seriously deviate from those that are
accepted within the scholarly community for proposing, conducting or reporting
research. It does not include honest error or honest difference in interpretation
of judgments of data." (Misconduct in Scholarship and Grants
Management Policy.)
Please contact Marquette University's Office of Research and Sponsored
Programs for more information on Marquette's policies and procedures in
regard to misconduct in scholarship.
This policy of encouraging consulting, private practice, and private business is affirmed by the University, allowing faculty to spend an average of no more than one day a seven day week in such activities. With the exception of patents and certain software copyrights, which come under a specific policy, the University generally allows faculty to retain stipends, royalties, and other income which is
the fruit of their scholarly work or consulting. When the consulting or private practice is pro bono and appropriate to the mission of the University, the
University on occasion uses its funds to support these activities.
This statement does not deal with research sponsored by grant or contract.
The conditions governing this research require prior approval by the University.
Annually, faculty are required to report their consulting and private practice in
the faculty activity reports. These reports should be complete and should
identify any University resources used. Please consult University Policy and Procedures (UPP 1-04 / Proper Use of University Resources) (restricted to campus) regarding the proper use of University resources. All activities and proposed use of resources must be reported in advance to the department chair and/or dean or director, whose responsibility it is to judge whether these activities are in the interests of the University and whether the proposed use of resources is appropriate. The University may require reimbursement of University paid costs and expenses in certain circumstances.

LG Optimus Black hands-on
LG's new Optimus Black handset is "the world's slimmest mobile device", says the maker, measuring in at just 9.2mm thick. We've managed to get a closer look at the new gadget on LG's stand at CES.
The Android 2.2 handset certainly is slim and also feels extremely light in the hand - certainly lighter than most of its smartphone competitors. LG's Android-based Optimus UI 2.0 feels extremely familiar and therefore very intuitive to navigate, but it's the screen that really stands out. The 4-inch NOVA display is eye-poppingly bright (measuring 700nits, apparently) making it even more surprising that it uses just 50 per cent of the power needed for a standard LCD display, according to LG.
The back-mounted 5-megapixel camera looks reasonable enough, although certainly not the best snapper that we've seen on a phone. Having said that, so far we've only been able to try it out twice in artificial lighting conditions, rather than outside.

CU Law School student Jocelyn Jenks so enjoyed going out to teach state high school students about the Constitution in 2012 that she came back this year to participate as an alumna.
"The experience was wonderful, and I jumped at the opportunity to work with high school students again this year," said Jenks (Law '12).
Fourteen graduate students from the Engineering for Developing Communities program at CU-Boulder traveled abroad this past summer to gain field experience in community development.
The students partnered with nonprofit organizations, private companies and universities for 4- to 12-week practicum experiences in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Uganda, Nepal and China.
At age 34, Andrew Wolff is making previously unreachable dreams become reality for hundreds of at risk Cambodian children.
This might seem a stretch for a former businessman who began his second career as a teacher after earning his MA in English as a second language and multicultural education at CU-Boulder in 2006. However, after teaching for a year at an area charter school, Wolff felt constrained by the educational system. Always the adventurer, he bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand, hoping to volunteer as a teacher somewhere in Southeast Asia.
Shane Baldauf, an architecture and environmental design major at CU-Boulder who is dedicated to "green" and affordable housing, has been awarded a prestigious Udall Scholarship.
"Not only is 'green' construction good for the environment, but homes that perform more efficiently benefit the occupants too," said Baldauf. "If you think about it, the people who most need affordable housing are also the ones who need the lowest utility bills, and we're working to provide that situation through Habitat for Humanity houses."
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
