City Hall Reporter's Notebook: Parties and parking editionFebruary 11,2013Sometimes, its too much fun not to take a quote out of context, at least for a minute.
Say I got a 6-year-old kid and I want to run into Center Street Saloon and have a quick draft beer, Alderman Gary Donahue posited during the committee meeting Tuesday on the new law keeping underage patrons out of city bars. Can I take that kid with me?
Under the new law, he could not though he would be allowed to take the kid to the Moose, Elks or Legion, as clubs are exempted from the law. Donahue said he had no plans to bring a crew of grade-schoolers along on a pub crawl, but that he was worried about selective enforcement.
Donahue said he had seen some small children in local bars presumably not drinking and accompanied by parents and said he did not like the idea of that being allowed while the 18-and-over parties at The Local nightclub were shut down. He asked if the law would be enforceable in the former instances.
Its enforceable if someone witnesses it, Chief James Baker told him. Ill also say this there is discretion in what we do. It may not always seem fair to someone like you. ... If Im sitting there as the police chief and Ive got 15 complaints about this bar and no complaints about that bar, Im not going to look at this bar the same way I look at that bar.
Donahue said he would be more comfortable adding an exemption allowing minors to enter bars accompanied by a parent or guardian still no drinking, naturally. This led to a few others saying it would be good to avoid forcing downtown bars to turn away parents seeking bathrooms for their children at Friday Night Live. Alderman Sean Sargeant countered he was against even a bathroom exception.
Thats nonsensical, Donahue replied. Were already hearing from the chief theyre not going to worry about it. Im against making laws that cant be enforced.
Baker said there was a bigger issue than ease of enforcement.
We have an enormous substance abuse problem that drives disorder in this city, Baker said. Im not sure the message you want to send is that the city is going to sanction a 25-year-old alcoholic flopping down his 4-year-old son onto a barstool and drinking for 10 hours.
A motion to amend the proposal with a parental supervision exception failed 2-2. Alderman Charles Romeo joined with Donahue, while Alderwoman Sharon Davis joined Sargeant.
Pub census
Do you know how many bars there are in Rutland?
Defining a bar as an establishment with a cabaret license, which is the sort of license you have to get if you serve more alcohol than food, there were, as of Tuesday, 13. They are 3Ds, Center Street Alley, Center Street Saloon, CJs Suds South, Magoos, Muckenschnables, The Paramount Theatre (should we really count them?), Rutland Bowlerama/Ten Pin Lounge, Saints of Pub 42, The Local, Two Sheas and Uncle Sams Pub.
One might be tempted to count certain restaurants with active bar areas, which would up the count by a few. The aforementioned clubs would also stretch the list, but they also have a different sort of liquor license.
Weve all heard that Rutland was once written up as having the most bars per capita in the country, but Ive never actually seen this write-up. Does anybody have it lying around or is it one of those local myths?
The rest of whats coming off the cutting room floor this week is from Thursdays meeting on enforcing the two-hour parking limit at downtown meters.
Officer Gary Tobin, who does parking enforcement for the police department, said a number of women who work in the downtown area have told him they do not feel comfortable parking in the deck.
Bonnie Hawley of Hawleys Florist said she hears that sometimes from her own employees, and she tells them that if she sees them parking at the meters outside the shop, shell fire them. Fear of the deck, she said, is false perception.
There is security there at all times roaming around, she said. There are lights there brighter than anything the Walmart parking lot could ever have.
Alderman Charles Romeo quipped that the only thing that scares him about the deck is getting his car locked in if he isnt out by 11 p.m. Its happened to me, so Im right there with him.
All board President David Allaire could say about talks between the city and state on the decks future (during which the city was hoping to bring down the price of passes and make sure Romeos and my cars dont get stuck there) was that they were continuing.
The Police Commission meets at 6 p.m. Monday. The Board of Aldermen is slated to join them to discuss communication between the two bodies.
The Public Works Committee meets at 5 p.m. Tuesday to discuss an early vacation request from a DPW employee. Theres also a tax abatement committee meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on 110 Maple St.
Tuesday isnt done with us yet the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce is holding a mixer from 5 to 7 p.m. at the TD Bank on Merchants Row.
The General Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday to discuss a request for blanket authorization to sell city property.
Friday, the Chaffee Art Center (located in their temporary downtown digs) will hold an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. for their new exhibit, which features the work of Richard Weis, Brian Sylvester, Johanne Durocher Yordan and Katherine Langlands.

"Love this card so much! I have received many compliments on it. I paid extra for the Pearled Paper and I feel that it made a big difference."
"Photo quality excellent, design is beautiful, and getting the pearl shimmer paper is totally worth it- makes the text (which is not metallic but intended to give that impression) look more like the real deal. Very happy with this, have already received compliments :)"
"I love this card design, and I got a lot of compliments on it when I sent it out to friends and family. The only complaint is that I ordered the pearl shimmer paper and wish I had chosen regular paper instead. There was a little too much glare in the shimmer, so it made the photo hard to see in bright light. Also, both sides of the card are coated, so you cannot write on the back if you want to include a personalized note. Just something to consider when ordering."
"I chose the scalloped edge which made it even more beautiful. The paper has a metallic or pearlized sheen which is extra nice too. "Christmas Bliss' was the perfect sentiment describing my 5 Grandchildren! And I love that you're able to personal a message and include extra pics on the back"
"I got this card with Red on Red and it turned out great ! The paper stock is really nice quality, as well as the envelopes !"

This is No. 8 in our series of the top ten local stories of 2012.
Following the BP oil spill of 2010, tourists returned to Northwest Florida in record numbers last year. Maintaining those numbers in the future was always going to be difficult for area tourism leaders and the hospitality industry.
But Northwest Florida didn't just maintain record numbers this year; it exceeded them.
Hotels and condominiums were virtually booked solid in July in Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties, and June was the best month on record for bed tax collections in Walton County with nearly $3.6 million.
Dawn Moliterno, director of the Walton County Tourist Development Council, cited a number of reasons for their success.
"We think it's working with our bed tax collectors more closely in their marketing efforts. Certainly the marketing and advertising dollars that were provided gave us that extra boost," she said.
"People came and they loved what they saw."
In Walton County, $16.5 million was collected in bed taxes in fiscal year 2012, which went from October 2011 to September 2012. That ended up being an increase of 18.65 percent from FY 2011, when the county collected a then-record amount of $13.9 million.
"I don't think any of us expected to see the high percentage growth, especially coming off of last year's percentage growth," Moliterno said. "We're very pleased with the end result."
Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties also broke records for bed tax collections that were set just last year.
Okaloosa County brought in $13.2 million in bed taxes during FY 2012, a 13.9 percent improvement from FY 2011's total of $11.6 million.
"Our destination is extraordinary," said Daniel O'Byrne, Okaloosa County's Tourist Development Council director. "Without question, the more we can tell people we're open and available and you should consider coming here, there's no doubt people are going to like the experience once they're introduced to it."
The Santa Rosa County TDC collected $1.19 million in bed taxes in FY 2012, which beat the previous record of $1.03 million.
"The BP money allowed us to do advertising in areas we couldn't afford (before)," said Kate Wilkes, director of the Santa Rosa County TDC. "We did advertising in Atlanta; we've moved into Tennessee. Once you get them here and they come and know how nice it is here, I think we'll continue to grow. We have two more years to get some of those other markets and make a presence in those other markets."
Wilkes said Santa Rosa County is trying to highlight its nature-based tourism options such as zip lining, biking, reef diving, the gulf and the Marine Science Center in its marketing.
"I really think what we're doing as far as pointing out to people that we're a little different … I think there's a niche for that," Wilkes said. "There's something for everyone."
O'Byrne said he was very optimistic about the potential for Okaloosa County to have a great tourist season in 2013.
"We're going to continue to increase, but at a decreasing rate," O'Byrne said. "The trick is to never let that number go negative. We're probably not going to do 32 percent again, because it's tough to make those statistics work. But as long as we keep it positive, that's pretty extraordinary, where we've captured everything we lost from 2010 and maintained a new floor at a significantly higher level."

A few years ago after working with hundreds of dealers, GM's, Sales Managers, and Internet Directors one question kept coming up.
"How do we handle these Internet customers that only want us to give them the best price."
Great training on appointment setting only worked for a while and required constant retraining at great expense... (read more)
Sales people would either be forced to give up price or refuse. Either way, the customer hung up or didn't respond back half the time; even when we gave them a price!
This was not a good model. It was confrontational from the very beginning. I knew there had to be a better way.
I thought about this for a long time. Then it occurred to me that the problem wasn't that the customers didn't want to buy cars from us. It wasn't that we didn't want to sell them our cars. The problem was that the dealership and the customers were being forced to use a broken process that had worked in the past, but was not at all working today for anybody. What made matters even worse was that the current process most dealers were using forced everyone to focus on price. Every great salesperson will tell you it's not about price.
So we reinvented the process and built incredible technology to support the process. Actually, we just modified the "road to the sale" ever so slightly and turned the focus away from price and to the customer experience--the digital experience, to be precise. At the same time we provided more information than the customer ever thought possible while shopping online for a vehicle.
Building and implementing the WideStorm E-commerce Selling System is one of our proudest achievements. This system makes customers happier and dealers more profitable. It was not an easy mission, but one that we managed to pull off. It's with great enthusiasm that we may share this with you and your organization.
- Jock Schowalter, President & CEO of DealerPeak
Because the web is your new showroom and we can show you how to master it.
If you answered yes, pick up the phone and call us.
Because this is no longer enough. You need more.
Because we know you're skeptical.
We've empirically proven that, today, buyers want to
conduct more of the purchase transaction online.
This doesn't have to be a bad thing.
In fact, dealers who know the secret will reap huge rewards.
There are virtually no differences between the gross profits from ESS leads and walk-in ups. All ask us about why our system increases average back end gross.
Our E-Commerce Selling System will increase your website conversion ratio by 60% to 90% (you should buy it just for that).
OK...we will just tell you: of course back end is higher. You have just given your customer the best buying experience they have ever had.
Closing ratios from our E-Commerce Selling System are in the range of 15% to 25% (sometimes higher, but we don't want to overstate it).

Another variation of our favorite theme: thigh-high socks, but made of nylon which helps them stay up really well! Made in the USA.
About 34 inches from heel to top when laid out flat, sometimes even longer! Designed to fit women's size 6-10 feet.
Cuffs stretch to about 20 inches around, but be warned - these are a snug style and are very comfy once on, but getting them on will take a little effort... Think of it the same as putting on very thick stockings: start with as much rumpled up into your hands as will fit and work them up your legs, stretching and straightening as you go. Once they are up, they won't come down till you take them off, no matter how much you run or dance!
Additional Info: Since nylon is prone to snagging, please be extra careful when handling these socks. They're made out of the same material as most pantyhose, just thicker!
Fiber Content: 90% nylon, 10% Lycra®.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
When will coffee color be available?
I recently bought the Maroon color and noticed the actual items are more red than the posted picture shows. I'd like to order the purple. Is the color shown in the picture the same as the true product? Thanks for your help!
So, how thick are these socks? I'm trying to decide between these or the solid opaque, solid thigh high, or the extraordinary, and I don't know which to go for a first pair (from this site, at least).
How far up do these socks go on fuller thighs?
Do the N40's run and snag easily?
hi my wife is looking for toe socks that each individual toe goes into but same size as the N40's. If u can make them or where i can find them greatly appreciated.
Please can you restock these colors?! I want to get one of each!
Wanting to know what the toes of the black socks look like. Ref the color stitching of the toe line, the gray also.
I know this is like a commercial, but the site is so easy to browse for generally what you want, I just keep finding gifts for my friends and family!

I'd say your best bet would be ferry to Russia then along the trans siberian highway which might take about 2 weeks as it takes about a week on the trans siberian railway and it might be cheaper to just fly.

hi I wanted to do a trip this or next year to china... but I wanted to drive there (get a boat to france then onwards) how long and how much would it cost me to drive there ? going on average fuel prices ? and toll costs ? any help would be great ?
Posted 15 December 2012 - 00:48
looks like about 9000 miles, average say 35 mpg means about 1200 litres of fuel, at uk prices (£1.40ish a litre) £1680 in fuel alone
edit, oh yeh you gotta drive back too
bing is your friend here, unfortunately google maps is useless at any trip over a long distance.
you can drag the route to places you want to see and bing will work out all the details for you
Posted 15 December 2012 - 03:15
Like my uncle use to say, if you have to ask how much it costs then you probably can't afford it.
Takes about 5 days non stop 24 hour driving according to bing maps. On a side note I would love to make a trip like that in my car. Just me and maybe a friend (preferably someone I can have sex with on breaks) and the open road.

Miller leads Terrible Towel TwirlPosted by on December 30, 2012 – 1:05 pm
Pittsburgh-based rapper Mac Miller led the Terrible Towel Twirl before the start of the Steelers-Browns game, getting the Heinz Field crowd fired up.
"I had a decision today to either play wideout or do the Terrible Towel Twirl and my knee isn't what it used to be, so I am doing the Towel Twirl," joked Miller. "It's awesome. I am a life-long Steelers fan, watching games my whole life."
Miller, who grew up in Point Breeze section of the city and went to Allderdice High School, released his first album Blue Slide Park in Nov. 2011, and it hit debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. His second album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, will be released in May, 2013.
"I am very fired up," said Miller. "It's a lot of fun. I have only been to five Steelers games my whole life. It's fun. It's all about the Steelers today."

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsJune 26, 2013
Because of the influences and demands on career services and college relations work, a strategic approach to establishing effective employer partnerships is more vital now than ever, explains Trudy Steinfeld, assistant vice president and executive director of the Wasserman Center for Career Development at New York University.
"I think the way the profession is going, every career services office needs to understand the value of and invest in employer partnerships," Steinfeld says. "Employer partnerships that are viewed as effective collaborations between both parties enhance the prestige of career services and help firmly establish an employer brand on campus."
Steinfeld says career services operations should have a clearly defined employer relations strategy and corresponding activities. Following are just some of the elements critical to the development and effective implementation of that strategy that Steinfeld identifies in the book Leadership in Career Services: Voices from the Field:

Ah, I forgot about that. If Facebook were to become irrelevant, it would take a long time for that to happen. By then, any phones with a dedicated Facebook button would be obsolete. Of course, that's assuming not a lot of phones aren't made with that button in the near future.
There was also another HTC phone, the Status, that head a dedicated Facebook button.
I haven't deactivated mine but I don't use Facebook anymore for events. I still get invites to parties and whatnot but I almost always hear about the important ones before it's even put on Facebook. Also, a lot of people don't even bother to accept an invites (e.g. Maybe, Going, Not going) anymore. Night clubs have spammed people to the point where they disregard events even if they plan on going. In a way, I'm glad people are going back to the plain old ways of extending an invite.
deactivated my FB account last year. dont miss it one bit. i never used it.
my favorite are the people that think FB is the only form of communication these days. "oh, you didnt know about <event>? i put it up on FB..." how about you just email it instead? if you want me to come, call me...

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.
This was a Father's Day gift to my world traveler husband. He is so excited to have one place to keep all of his travel documents and credit cards. He wants me to get one now.
I bought two of these wallets, monogrammed for graduation presents. From the quality to the shipping to the packaging I could not be more happy with my gifts. Only thing I would have wished for was the option of pink, as it is the favorite color of one of my recipients. I will definitely be purchasing again.
Again, I am well pleased with my Leatherology purchase.
Well satisfied with the color (green), size, construction, and utility of
my travel wallet. Keep it moving...
I am totally pleased with my Kelly green zip around travel wallet. I love the oversize of the wallet, so much room for all essentials. Again, great packaging and delivery.
My husband loved it for his birthday gift. Thank you
The product was received promptly and I was better than expected. Great quality in the case and one I will be able to use for many years.
Gorgeous product, very high quality. Loved the packaging and very quick shipment. Couldn't be more pleased!!
I bought this for my boyfriend, and it is the best gift I've picked out for him. He travels internationally on a regular basis so he wanted a wallet that could hold a passport and other papers safely. The zipper achieves that, and with the outside pocket, he can hold his boarding pass without opening the wallet again and again.
Great for a traveler!
I have been looking for this wallet for years. Finally found at leatherology! The leather is so soft and the wallet holds the majority of my credit cards. I will continue to buy from leatherology because the quality of the product is so well made and is absolutely beautiful. I told my friends and family and they also have bought one.
Love it. Everything I need to carry with me fits in it. Love all the places for my credit cards and holds cash and change. Great wallet.
Very quick delivery, wallet as described and beautiful.
Great quality, absolutely love it.
Feeling organized.
I bought this for my daughter-in-law who travels frequently for business. She loved it and commented favourably on the colour and the engraving. I will order again from Leatherology.
Great quality and service, as usual. Thank you!
The quality of this wallet is excellent. I ordered engraving as well and it was done to perfection. I could not be happier with my purchase. And it came wrapped and packaged such that I felt like royalty.
This item was purchased as a gift for our newly married daughter. I'm sure she'll love the "new" initials monogrammed on it. I love the quality of both the leather and the workmanship. Our daughter and her new husband have been to many countries so far with, I'm sure, many more to come. I believe this travel wallet will serve her well! I was also impressed with the quickness of my delivery. I'm sure I'll be purchasing from your company again.
I had an Eddie Bauer passport wallet that lasted 15 years. It only looked and felt better with age. I finally had to get rid of it due to the lining wearing out. I loved that wallet. Next one I bought did not have the good metal zipper and within three months, it popped, never zipped again and then the stitching start to unravel. When I saw this one had a metal zipper, more compartments inside than I could ever need and the outer pocket, I knew this was my new wallet. It arrived wrapped in a chamoise cloth, perfect in every way, and no more expensive than the one that broke in 3 months. I look forward to having this a long, long time!
I am extremely happy with this purchase. It was exactly what I was looking for. The leather is beautiful as well as the packaging presentation (I bought this as a gift so that saves me time on wrapping). I also purchased a monogram and it looks fantastic as well. Thank you Leatherology!!
I've used this wallet for a couple of years. Had to change my habits, so that I would remember to take it with me into and out of stores. Yesterday I set it on top of the car while tending the dogs. Forgot it. Half hour after getting home, a local merchant called to report a customer turned it in. It got scuffed from a couple (?) of cars running over it; plastic pen inside was crushed. The leather zipper pull is missing. It is good for another decade at least. Yay!
I have ordered from leatherology twice and both times I have had awesome service .I live in Canada and I received my travel wallet in a week.The products are very well made and look just like they do online.If you are wondering if you should order wonder no more you won't be disappointed .
The quality of the product itself is superb. I searched a lot of websites for a travel case that would allow me to carry cards, passport, currency, etc. AND I wanted a wallet that had color, not the standard camel or black. Very pleased.
I just received my order (5 items)- W.O.W. Amazing quality and for the money. Order arrived on time, all as ordered - beautifully wrapped and boxed. I will definitely be back.
This was a gift for a retiring customer who had plans to travel after retirement. I was very impressed by the presentation of the item when I opened the box. The wallet is well made also. My customer was very pleased! The ordering process was easy.
Thank you.
Absolutely Love the item....Will continue to shop with you guys..Really put a smile on my sisters face for Christmas...
Very high quality leather, zippers and components. Shipping was perfect and presentation of product in packaging was impressive. If you are sending a gift this is
a good company and product to consider.
Good quality. Plenty of space. Have only been using it for a few weeks but so far so good. The wallet feels durable and yet soft.
This is one beautiful wallet. Perfect for travel where room for cash, passport, credit cards was needed. It surpassed expectations. A great buy!
This travel organizer is the best I ever bought. I just which that the leather was tougher. I did not like the monogram that I selected. I which there was a way for customers to view how the monogram would look before they make the purchase.
My only complaint is that it does not have a ZIPPERED SEPARATE PAPER MONEY section. It is a roomy nicely made wallet. My cell phone even fits inside. Love the color. Would recommended it to a friend.
I purchased this wallet for traveling. I needed a bright color in my purse so easy to locate. Great quality of leather. Inside is perfect to carry credit cards, checks, money, change, etc. It even has loop for a pen. Great purchase for the girl on the go!
Great wallet, very roomy, high quality materials and I think it will be very durable
Beautiful wallet. A little bigger than I expected, but I love it, like all of Leatherology products-beautiful quality leather.
The wallet is exactly what I was looking for. It's pretty large but beautifully made.
I was so delighted when I received my travel wallet. I will order additional merchandise in the future. Thank you for taking such pride in your product.
Great job and gift, thank you!
It looks beautiful and is just what I was expecting. Easy purchase!
This is a well-made item. I have not had an opportunity to use all of the features, but the ones I have used I do like. Some complaints: The zipper is a bit balky. I hope this will lessen over time. The finish of the leather has a very formal look to it, and that is not 100% in line with my personal style. I am hoping age will improve its appearance. Lastly, I would like to see the pen loop be made more substantial. All of that said, this is a a nice wallet. I expect to use it for many years to come.
I just received this wallet in the mail. WOW! It is much nicer than the pictures and very, very good quality leather. The presentation is more than I expected with the beautiful box and the wallet itself is wrapped in a nice, soft chamois-like cloth embossed with the word Leatherology. Very cool!! It also arrived on time as promised. Thank you so much! I will be shopping with Leatherology in the future.

The company I work for manages email for our clients via a 3rd party hosting company. The generic way in is via http://mail.domain.com for which client it is. It's running off Squirrelmail.
Most clients however use Outlook on their PCs and one of them asked if it was possible to set either SquirrelMail or Outlook (2007) to only leave copies of sent messages on the server for a specific length of time - eg 1 day.
I know there are settings that seem to relate to incoming mail so that it is deleted off the server when received but does anyone know of any settings in either Outlook or SquirrelMail that relate to Sent Items. The issue is the client never really uses SquirrelMail so sent items accumulate on the server and eventually start clogging it up (only has 100MB quota).
Perhaps it's a simple thing I'm missing or perhaps it isn't possible.

As you probably all have guessed by now, I wasn't the kind of little girl that liked doilies and gluing little sparkly things on to other little sparkly things. In fact, I distinctly recall strategically distracting party goers at my childhood best friend's birthday party with a little stand up comedy routine, just to avoid participating in the upcoming crafting activity.
But, alas, my distractions were more jealousy than anything else. I've always admired DIY practitioners, and often wished I were one of them.
Enter Krysten Brown, a designer friend of mine here in Austin. When I was asked to write an article on last minute Halloween DIY decorations, she stepped up to the plate, guiding me through a series of spooktacular Halloween designs until we had just about the coolest DIY house the undead world has ever seen. Afterwards I sat down with my laptop, pulled a mic to my mouth and did a little routine.
Check out the results at the article below, and DIY your own home in the most spooktacular of ways.

The public expects celebrities to smile, nod, and be nice but the truth is we're all human and some celebs just aren't cut from that cloth. Some celebs are just naturally rude, temperamental, ego-maniacal, condescending, stuck-up schmucks that make us want to give them one across the face. We may enjoy their work but their attitudes and personalities leave much to be desired.
Peruse our list of Hollywood's 15 douchiest celebs!
John Mayer
John Mayer must have some serious self-loathing issues. The only way he can make himself feel better is to slore around Hollywood with as many hot celebrity women as possible, pretend he actually likes them, and say arrogant and condescending things to lord his intelligence over them and everyone else. He is a beautiful musician, though. If only he could just play and not speak.

To study history is to investigate the rich complexity of the past and what it means to be human. In the process, history students hone fundamental skills – in critical analysis, research, argument, and writing – that are essential to future success.
The history department offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in history and social studies education, as well as a minor in history. Our classes (none larger than 32 students) are taught by professors (no TAs) who combine a focus on teaching with research, which they regularly publish and present in national venues.
This site offers a variety of ways to discover what the history department is about, including profiles of our faculty, recent news from the department, scholarships available to students, and more.
As a professional, I could not be more grateful for my education in history. It taught me to think critically, recognize the gray areas of life, have an opinion, be able to support it, and, of course, how to write. And perhaps most crucially -- It fostered in me a tireless curiosity. . . Each history course brought me even more questions. Great Questions. You can never know everything, but you can have the skills to find what you need when you need it.
-- Lauren (Georger) Ziarko, Class of 2007
Our strength is our teaching, building of the past a context for the present and developing the skills students will require in all future endeavors. The accomplishments of our former students prove that knowledge and insight gained from the study of history and teacher education prepares students to succeed in a broad range of future careers (see the American Historical Association's careers with a degree in History). Graduates of IC's history department have become teachers, lawyers, business owners/CEOs, museum curators, professors, and more.
Studying history fostered my writing and critical thinking skills. These skills have been integral to my work in policy and are two of the most important skills that I look for when hiring new analysts and managers.
-- Brian Ohl, Class of 2003

When I received the information regarding study abroad program, I was really thrilled and looked forward to participating. Primary reason for me, obviously, is this will be beneficial for my work besides 3 credits for MBA study.
China, the place I was born and grew up, and always felt attached to, did not disappoint me at all. The trip has brought me so many pleasure surprises and left me the best travel memory ever. Not to mention, I have met such a dynamic and energetic group. I did enjoy talk with them, hang out with them and learn things from the perspective of young Americans. Most importantly, Dr. Li, our leading professor and organizer, put in the great painstaking effort to make it perfect for everyone. The whole study trip is informative and rewarding!
For myself, on the other hand, I feel ashamed that still so many things about China I wasn't aware of or did not even know about them. One reason for my ignorance is that China is really big, vast in territory and abundant in resouces. The other is that in daily life I did not appreciate my culture enough put in time to study it.
My working goal is to become the conduit building up the bridge between U.S. and China, to facilitate people's interaction and deal with international trade. China is my root, as much as I work hard and devote myself to U.S, I will love this great land as always!

A compass, magnetic compass or mariner's compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the earth's magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. The face of the compass generally highlights the cardinal points of north, south, east and west. The compass greatly improved maritime trade by making travel safer and more efficient. A compass can be used to calculate heading, used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus provides a much improved navigational capability, that has only been recently supplanted by modern devices such as the gyrocompass and the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Fundamentally, the classic compass is any magnetically sensitive device able to indicate the direction of the magnetic north of a planet's magnetosphere. Often compasses are built as a stand alone sealed instrument with a magnetized bar or needle turning freely upon a pivot, or moving in a fluid, thus able to point in a northerly and southerly direction. An early form of the compass (a magnetized needle floating in water) was invented in ancient China sometime before 1044. The dry compass was invented in medieval Europe around 1300. This was supplanted in the early 20th century by the liquid-filled magnetic compass.
Other, more accurate, devices have been invented for determining north that do not depend on the Earth's magnetic field for operation (known in such cases as true north, as opposed to magnetic north). A gyrocompass or astrocompass can be used to find true north, while being unaffected by stray magnetic fields, nearby electrical power circuits or nearby large masses of ferrous metals. A recent development is the electronic compass, which detects the magnetic directions without requiring moving parts. This device frequently appears as an optional subsystem built into GPS receivers.
The artifact itself is part of a lodestone that had been polished into a bar with a groove at one end (that Carlson suggests may have been used for sighting). The artifact now consistently points 35.5 degrees west of north, but may have pointed north-south when whole. It has been suggested that the artifact was in fact used as some constituent piece of a decorative ornament. No other similar hematite artifacts have yet been found.
Due to disagreement as to when the compass was invented, it may be appropriate to list some noteworthy Chinese literary references offered as possible evidence for its antiquity, in chronological order:
Thus, the use of a magnetic compass as a direction finder occurred sometime before 1044, but evidence for the use of the compass as a navigational device did not appear until 1119.
The typical Chinese navigational compass was in the form of a magnetic needle floating in a bowl of water. According to Needham, the Chinese in the Song Dynasty and continuing Yuan Dynasty did make use of a dry compass, although this type never became as widely used in China as the wet compass. Evidence of this is found in the Shilin guangji ("Guide Through the Forest of Affairs"), first published in 1325 by Chen Yuanjing, although its compilation had taken place between 1100 and 1250. The dry compass in China was a dry suspension compass, a wooden frame crafted in the shape of a turtle hung upside down by a board, with the lodestone sealed in by wax, and if rotated, the needle at the tail would always point in the northern cardinal direction. Although the European compass-card in box frame and dry pivot needle was adopted in China after its use was taken by Japanese pirates in the 16th century (who had in turn learned of it from Europeans), the Chinese design of the suspended dry compass persisted in use well into the 18th century.
However, according to Kreutz there is only a single Chinese reference to a dry-mounted needle (built into a pivoted wooden tortoise) which is dated to between 1150 and 1250, but there is no indication that Chinese mariners ever used anything but the floating needle in a bowl until the 16th-century European contacts. Additionally, it must be pointed out that, unlike Needham, other experts on the history of the compass make no mention of an indigenous dry compass in China and reserve the term for the European form which became later worldwide standard.
The first recorded use of a 48 position mariner's compass on sea navigation was noted in a book titled "The Customs of Cambodia" by Yuan dynasty diplomat Zhou Daguan, he described his 1296 voyage from Wenzhou to Angkor Thom in detail; when his ship set sailed from Wenzhou, the mariner took a needle direction of "ding wei" position, which is equivalent to 22.5 degree SW. After they arrived at Baria, the mariner took "Kun Shen needle" , or 52.5 degree SW. Zheng He's Navigation Map, also known as "The Mao Kun Map", contains a large amount of detail "needle records" of Zheng He's travel.
Zheng He's Navigation Map, also known as "The Mao Kun Map", contains a large amount of detail "needle records" of Zheng He's travel.
The latter two are supported by evidence of the earlier mentioning of the compass in European works rather than Arabic. The first European mention of a magnetized needle and its use among sailors occurs in Alexander Neckam's De naturis rerum (On the Natures of Things), probably written in Paris in 1190. Other evidence for this includes the Arabic word for "Compass" (al-konbas), possibly being a derivation of the old Italian word for compass.
In the Arab world, the earliest reference comes in The Book of the Merchants' Treasure, written by one Baylak al-Kibjaki in Cairo about 1282. Since the author describes having witnessed the use of a compass on a ship trip some forty years earlier, some scholars are inclined to antedate its first appearance accordingly. There is also a slightly earlier non-Mediterranean Muslim reference to an iron fish-like compass in a Persian talebook from 1232.
There have been various arguments put forward concerning whether or not the European compass was an independent invention.
Arguments for independent invention:
Arguments against independent invention:
In the Mediterranean, the introduction of the compass, at first only known as a magnetized pointer floating in a bowl of water, went hand in hand with improvements in dead reckoning methods, and the development of Portolan charts, leading to more navigation during winter months in the second half of the 13th century. While the practice from ancient times had been to curtail sea travel between October and April, due in part to the lack of dependable clear skies during the Mediterranean winter, the prolongation of the sailing season resulted in a gradual, but sustained increase in shipping movement: By around 1290 the sailing season could start in late January or February, and end in December. The additional few months were of considerable economic importance. For instance, it enabled Venetian convoys to make two round trips a year to the Levant, instead of one.
At the same time, traffic between the Mediterranean and northern Europe also increased, with first evidence of direct commercial voyages from the Mediterranean into the English Channel coming in the closing decades of the 13th century, and one factor may be that the compass made traversal of the Bay of Biscay safer and easier. Although critics like Kreutz feels that it was later in 1410 that anyone really started steering by compass.
In 1300, another Arabic treatise written by the Egyptian astronomer and muezzin Ibn Simʿūn describes a dry compass for use as a "Qibla indicator" to find the direction to Mecca. Like Peregrinus' compass, however, Ibn Simʿūn's compass did not feature a compass card. In the 14th century, the Syrian astronomer and timekeeper Ibn al-Shatir (1304-1375) invented the compass dial, a timekeeping device incorporating both a universal sundial and a magnetic compass. He invented it for the purpose of finding the direction to Mecca and the times of Salah prayers at the Umayyad Mosque. Arab navigators also introduced the 32-point compass rose during this time.
The familiar dry compass (commonly called a mariner's compass) was invented in Europe around 1300. The dry mariner's compass consists of three elements: A freely pivoting needle on a pin enclosed in a little box with a glass cover and a wind rose, whereby "the wind rose or compass card is attached to a magnetized needle in such a manner that when placed on a pivot in a box fastened in line with the keel of the ship the card would turn as the ship changed direction, indicating always what course the ship was on".
While pivoting needles in glass boxes had already been described by the French scholar Peter Peregrinus in 1269, and by the Egyptian scholar Ibn Simʿūn in 1300, there is an inclination to honour tradition and credit Flavio Gioja (fl. 1302), an Italian marine pilot from Amalfi, with perfecting the sailor's compass by suspending its needle over a compass card, giving thus the compass its familiar appearance. Such a compass with the needle attached to a rotating card is also described in a commentary on Dante's Divine Comedy from 1380, while an earlier source refers to a portable compass in a box (1318), supporting the notion that the dry compass was known in Europe by then.
A bearing compass is a magnetic compass mounted in such a way that it allows the taking of bearings of objects by aligning them with the lubber line of the bearing compass. A surveyor's compass is a specialized compasses made to accurately measure heading of landmarks and measure horizontal angles to help with map making. These were already in common use by the early 18th century and are described in the 1728 Cyclopaedia. Later, a prism and lens was mounted on top of a compass in such a way that enabled the user to accurately sight the heading of geographical landmarks, thus creating the prismatic compass. The Bezard compass was invented in 1906, and consists of a compass with a mirror mounted above it. This enabled the user to easily see the face of the compass while also walking and viewing the surrounding landscape.
The liquid compass was generally introduced into the British Royal Navy in 1908. An early version developed by the Navy captain Creak proved to be operational under heavy gunfire and seas, but lacked navigational precision compared with the design by Lord Kelvin:
Captain Creak's first step in the development of the liquid compass was to introduce a "card mounted on a float, with two thin and relatively short needles, fitted with their poles at the scientifically correct angular distances, and with the centre of gravity, centre of buoyancy, and the point of suspension in correct relation to each other...The compass thus designed rectified the defects of the Admiralty Standard Compass,...with the additional advantage of considerable steadiness under heavy gunfire and in a seaway... The one defect in the compass as developed by Creak up to 1892 was that "for manoeuvring purposes it was inferior to Lord Kelvin's compass, owing to comparative sluggishness on a large alteration of course through the drag on the card by the liquid in which it floated...
However, with ship and gun sizes continuously increasing, the advantages of the liquid compass over the Kelvin compass became more apparent, and the device was generally adopted after its manoeuvering capabilities had been improved.
Modern compasses usually use a magnetized needle or dial inside a fluid-filled capsule (oil, kerosene, or alcohol is common). The fluid dampens the movement of the needle and causes the needle to stabilize quickly rather than oscillate back and forth around magnetic north. North on the needle or dial is usually marked with phosphorescent paint, to enable the compass to be read at night or in poor light.
Many modern hand held recreational and military compasses integrate a protractor with the compass, using a separate magnetized needle. In this design the rotating capsule containing the magnetized needle is fitted with orienting lines and an outlined orienting arrow, then mounted in a transparent baseplate containing a direction-of-travel (DOT) indicator for use in taking bearings directly from a map. Other features found on some modern compasses are map and romer scales for measuring distances and plotting positions on maps, luminous markings on the face or bezels, various sighting mechanisms (mirror, prism, etc.) for taking bearings of distant objects with greater precision, "global" needles for use in differing hemispheres, adjustable declination for obtaining instant true bearings without resort to arithmetic, and devices such as inclinometers for measuring gradients.
The military forces of a few nations, notably the United States Army, continue to utilize older lensatic card compass designs with magnetized compass dials instead of needles. A lensatic card compass permits reading the bearing off of the compass card with only a slight downward glance from the sights (see photo), but requires a separate protractor for use with a map. The official U.S. military lensatic compass does not use fluid to dampen needle swing, but rather electromagnetic induction to dampen the needle. A "deep-well" design is used to allow the compass to be used globally with little or no effect in accuracy caused by a tilting compass dial. As induction forces provide less damping than fluid-filled designs, a needle lock is fitted to the compass to reduce wear, operated by the folding action of the rear sight/lens holder. The use of air-filled induction compasses has declined over the years, as they may become inoperative or inaccurate in freezing temperatures or humid environments.
Mariner's compasses can have two or more magnetic needles permanently attached to a compass card. These move freely on a pivot. A lubber line, which can be a marking on the compass bowl or a small fixed needle indicates the ship's heading on the compass card. Traditionally the card is divided into thirty-two points (known as rhumbs), although modern compasses are marked in degrees rather than cardinal points. The glass-covered box (or bowl) contains a suspended gimbal within a binnacle. This preserves the horizontal position.
Some military compasses, like the SandY-183, contains the radioactive material tritium (3H) and a combination of phosphors. The SandY-183 contained 120mCi (millicuries) of tritium. The purpose of the tritium and phosphors is to provide illumination for the compass. This illumination is a form of fluorescence, not requiring the compass to be "recharged" by sunlight or artificial light. The name SandY-183 is derived from the name of the company, Stocker and Yale (SandY).
Large ships typically rely on a gyrocompass, using the magnetic compass only as a backup. Increasingly, electronic fluxgate compasses are used on smaller vessels. However compasses are still widely in use as they can be small, use simple reliable technology, are comparatively cheap, often easier to use than GPS, require no energy supply, and unlike GPS, are not affected by objects, e.g. trees, that can block the reception of electronic signals.
Often, the device is a discrete component which outputs either a digital or analog signal proportional to its orientation. This signal is interpreted by a controller or microprocessor and used either internally, or sent to a display unit. An example implementation, including parts list and circuit schematics, shows one design of such electronics. The sensor uses highly calibrated internal electronics to measure the response of the device to the Earth's magnetic field.
Other specialty compasses include the optical or prismatic hand-bearing compass, often used by surveyors, cave explorers, or mariners. This compass uses an oil-filled capsule and magnetized compass dial with an integral optical or prismatic sight, often fitted with built-in photoluminescent or battery-powered illumination. Using the optical or prism sight, such compasses can be read with extreme accuracy when taking bearings to an object, often to fractions of a degree. Most of these compasses are designed for heavy-duty use, with solid metal housings, and many are fitted for tripod mounting for additional accuracy.
In the modern era, the 360-degree system took hold. This system is still in use today for civilian navigators. The degree dial spaces the compass markings with 360 equidistant points. Some nations have adopted the "grad" system instead, which spaces the dial into 400 grads or points.
Most military defense forces have adopted the "mil" system, in which the compass dial is spaced into 6400 units (some nations use 6000) or "mils" for additional precision when measuring angles, laying artillery, etc. The value to the military is that one mil subtends approximately one metre at a distance of one kilometer. Former Warsaw Pact countries (Soviet Union, GDR etc.) used a 60° graduation (i.e., the unit is 100 Russian angular mils), often counterclockwise (see picture of wrist compass). This is still in use in Russia.
Like any magnetic device, compasses are affected by nearby ferrous materials as well as by strong local electromagnetic forces. Compasses used for wilderness land navigation should never be used in close proximity to ferrous metal objects or electromagnetic fields (batteries, car bonnets (automobile hoods), engines, steel pitons, wristwatches, etc).
Compasses used in or near trucks, cars or other mechanized vehicles are particularly difficult to use accurately, even when corrected for deviation by the use of built-in magnets or other devices. Large amounts of ferrous metal combined with the on-and-off electrical fields caused by the vehicle's ignition and charging systems generally result in significant compass errors.
At sea, a ship's compass must also be corrected for errors, called deviation, caused by iron and steel in its structure and equipment. The ship is swung, that is rotated about a fixed point while its heading is noted by alignment with fixed points on the shore. A compass deviation card is prepared so that the navigator can convert between compass and magnetic headings. The compass can be corrected in three ways. First the lubber line can be adjusted so that it is aligned with the direction in which the ship travels, then the effects of permanent magnets can be corrected for by small magnets fitted within the case of the compass. The effect of ferromagnetic materials in the compass's environment can be corrected by two iron balls mounted on either side of the compass binnacle. The coefficient representing the error in the lubber line, while the ferromagnetic effects and the non-ferromagnetic component.
A similar process is used to calibrate the compass in light general aviation aircraft, with the compass deviation card often mounted permanently just above or below the magnetic compass on the instrument panel. Fluxgate compasses can be calibrated automatically, and can also be programmed with the correct local compass variation so as to indicate the true heading.
The simplest way of using a compass is to know that the arrow always points in the same direction, magnetic North, which is roughly similar to true north. Except in areas of extreme magnetic declination variance (20 degrees or more), this is enough to protect from walking in a substantially different or even opposite direction than expected over short distances, provided the terrain is fairly flat and visibility is not impaired. In fact, by carefully recording distances (time or paces) and magnetic bearings traveled, one can plot a course and return to one's starting point using the compass alone.
However, compass navigation used in conjunction with a map (terrain association) requires a different compass method. To take a map bearing or true bearing (a bearing taken in reference to true, not magnetic north) to a destination with a protractor compass, the edge of the compass is placed on the map so that it connects the current location with the desired destination (some sources recommend physically drawing a line). The orienting lines in the base of the compass dial are then rotated to align with actual or true north by aligning them with a marked line of longitude (or the vertical margin of the map), ignoring the compass needle entirely. The resulting true bearing or map bearing may then be read at the degree indicator or direction-of-travel (DOT) line, which may be followed as an azimuth (course) to the destination. If a magnetic north bearing or compass bearing is desired, the compass must be adjusted by the amount of magnetic declination before using the bearing so that both map and compass are in agreement. In the given example, the large mountain in the second photo was selected as the target destination on the map.
The modern hand-held protractor compass always has an additional direction-of-travel (DOT) arrow or indicator inscribed on the baseplate. To check one's progress along a course or azimuth, or to ensure that the object in view is indeed the destination, a new compass reading may be taken to the target if visible (here, the large mountain). After pointing the DOT arrow on the baseplate at the target, the compass is oriented so that the needle is superimposed over the orienting arrow in the capsule. The resulting bearing indicated is the magnetic bearing to the target. Again, if one is using "true" or map bearings, and the compass does not have preset, pre-adjusted declination, one must additionally add or subtract magnetic declination to convert the magnetic bearing into a true bearing. The exact value of the magnetic declination is place-dependent and varies over time, though declination is frequently given on the map itself or obtainable on-line from various sites. If not, any local walker club should know it. If the hiker has been following the correct path, the compass' corrected (true) indicated bearing should closely correspond to the true bearing previously obtained from the map.

Sometimes good things come from bad. When Matt Elder's family first assumed ownership of an old strip center in the heart of Destin, the plan was for a high rise.
The downturn in the economy changed direction for Elder, who then saw the building as a diamond in the rough.
"We had this vision that we could restore it," he said.
Harbor Village Townhomes and Retail creates a bridge between the Destin of old and a direction for the future. With retail space on the lower floors, business owners can enjoy foot traffic into their shops.
With the townhomes on the second level, living in the center of the city is now an option.
"We pulled out all electrical, HVAC, plumbing and we totally renovated," Elder said. "We built everything back much better than it was."
The townhomes provide a minimum lease option of a year, while the shops are move-in ready, with most spots filled.
"It's a great place for boutique shops and places like that," Elder added.

Better wait on the dec SE
Better wait on the dec SE
I heard Sakara was training with Vitor for this fight.
Rogan is trying to sell that some of those shots weren't illegal.....I dunno about that, there was an abundance of shots to the back, even ones that "grazed the side of the head", looked like back of the head to me.
Nice comeback for Sakara, but I think there's a strong chance of a contested decision here.
Elbowed the fuck out of him. Hammer fist to the side of the head dropped him. Get over it.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I know your from Texas but also know you can count past one too SE
lol poor Cote... those were like 5 minimum illegal shots but Sakara knocked him down with legit shots.. rough call i bet the NSAC turns that to a no contest
Regardless of the outcome, impressive performance by Sakara, those elbows were nasty
Ref took his time.
