Eye Balls
Hey Everyone,
I've just recently got into sculpting. I cant believe Its taken me so long to discover. I'm having so much fun and cant seem to put the clay down....anyway, my first sculpt was a dog/panther/human type creature that I had sketched years ago. Since the eyes were relatively small and dark, I had no problems there. However, my second sculpt is a larger scale and i would like more detail in the eyes. I've looked around for tutorials, but i havent had much luck. How do most of you go about sculpting/painting larger eye balls. The look I'm going for is a more human type eye with the iris, pupil, etc. They are about the size of a Jawbreaker/Gumball/King Croaker. Any help would be great
Oh, and everyones work that they display on this site is mind blowing. Just looking at what everyone else is sculpting gets me even more excited to work on mine....even if they do put mine to shame

Have you thought about using glass eyes??? There are a couple companies that I know about.
They have a great selection of eyes for human, bird, reptile, fish, mammal, etc..try www.tohickonglasseyes.com and www.kl-glasaugen.de
Between the two you can get just about anything you need.
For sculpting the eyes, I have seen half-circle push molds that have various sizes in craft stores.
To size my eye sockets, I usually use a coin since they vary in size. All I can say about painting them is good luck. I hate trying to paint eyes. You might be able to use a sharpie for the pupil....I imagine that would work.
Anyway, Good luck!! Hope this helps.

Here is something that I've done on some sculpts. Go to a hardware store and purchase an acrylik dowl rod and a wooden dowl rod of the same size.Cut a small peice of the acrylik rod, about 3/8" long and super glue it to the wooden dowl. The wooden dowl should be cut down to about six inches long. Put the wooden dowl in a drill and lock it in. Turn on the drill and as the drill spins you can shape the acrylik with a small piece of sandpaper. When you get the shape that you want, put some toothpaste on a cotton ball and use it to smooth the scratches left buy the sandpaper. Once the surface of the "eye" is clear you can snap the eye off of the wooden dowl and clean the flat side. The flat side can be painted with the design that you want. After your sculpture is baked you can put the eye in the socket and sculpt the eye lid with a two part plumbers epoxy. Now your sculpt with it's homemade "glass" eye is ready for the finishing paint.

You could make a press mold yourself.
Just press a ball of the correct size halfway into some sculpey.
Bake it.
Now add some release agent to the mould.
You could use talkum powder if you intend to press sculpey into the holes.
If you want something transparent you could probably wax it (or use a real release agent) and pour some clear epoxie, urethane or polyester into the holes insted.
If you plan on making a lot of eyes then maybe you should buy some silicon for the mould instead as you wont need a release agent if you do so(in it wont be as fragile as a sculpey mould either).
There ar some clay like silicones that you blend and that hardens in around 5 to 15 minutes.
Smooth-On has one such product.
It's relly usefull for making stamps as well.

Pilot that overshot airport: Crew wasn't napping
MINNEAPOLIS The first officer of the Northwest Airlines jet that missed its destination by 150 miles says there was no fight in the cockpit, neither he nor the captain had fallen asleep and the passengers were never in any danger.
But in an interview with The Associated Press two days after he and a colleague blew past their destination as air traffic controlled tried frantically to reach them, pilot Richard Cole would not say just what it was that led to them to forget to land Flight 188.
"It was not a serious event, from a safety issue," Cole said in front of his Salem, Ore., home. "I would tell you more, but I've already told you way too much."
Air traffic controllers and pilots tried for more than an hour Wednesday night to contact Cole and the flight's captain, Timothy B. Cheney, of Gig Harbor, Wash., using radio, cell phone and data messages. On the ground, concerned officials alerted National Guard jets to prepare to chase the airliner from two locations, though none of the military planes left the runway.
Cole would not discuss why it took so long for the pilots to respond to radio calls, "but I can tell you that airplanes lose contact with the ground people all the time. It happens. Sometimes they get together right away; sometimes it takes awhile before one or the other notices that they are not in contact."
A police report released Friday said the pilots passed breathalyzer tests and were apologetic after the flight. The report also said that the crew indicated they had been having a heated discussion about airline policy.
But aviation safety experts and other pilots were deeply skeptical they could have become so distracted by shop talk that they forgot to land an airplane carrying 144 passengers. The most likely possibility, they said, is that the pilots simply fell asleep somewhere along their route from San Diego.
"It certainly is a plausible explanation," said Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation in Alexandria, Va.
Unfortunately, the cockpit voice recorder may not tell the tale.
New recorders retain as much as two hours of cockpit conversation and other noise, but the older model aboard Northwest's Flight 188 includes just the last 30 minutes – only the very end of Wednesday night's flight after the pilots realized their error over Wisconsin and were heading back to Minneapolis.
Cheney and Cole have been suspended and are to be interviewed by National Transportation Safety Board investigators next week. The airline, acquired last year by Delta Air Lines, is also investigating. Messages left at Cheney's home were not returned.
FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro said in general, an unsafe condition created by a pilot could lead to the suspension of the person's pilot license and possibly a civil penalty.
With worries about terrorists still high, even after contact was re-established, air traffic controllers asked the crew to prove who they were by executing turns.
"Controllers have a heightened sense of vigilance when we're not able to talk to an aircraft. That's the reality post-9/11," said Doug Church, a spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.

Career Day
Rules for Bringing Students On-Campus
Please review carefully before arriving on campus
To make Career Day a more rewarding experience for all participants, we have found it necessary to place the following requirements on your Career Day participation:
- Each school must have at least one adult chaperone or adviser per 10 students. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Students will not be allowed to come to campus without their adult chaperone(s). Please be advised, however, that if you want to customize your itinerary to match the interests of your students, you may need to enlist enough chaperones in order to accommodate everyone's interests.
- Any and all students coming to campus for Career Day must be accompanied by an adult.
- Chaperones must stay with their students at all times.
- You will be given name tags designating your school district for students and chaperones to wear. Students and chaperones must wear these school name tags while on campus. Entrance into activities may be denied to individuals without name tags.
- Due to volume of traffic the cafeteria will incur, please do not allow students to linger after they have finished their lunch. Limit lunch to 20 - 30 minutes.
These limitations will necessitate more planning on your part; you will have to structure your day in order to take part in all the activities of interest and still have the adult(s) stay with all the students.
Sessions are filled on a first come, first served basis. We reserve the right to limit the number of registrations for Career Day.
Please wear comfortable attire for the weather. Considerable walking is part of the experience. Closed toe shoes are required if visiting and participating in events at the Earth Science Center.

… and make major motion pictures.
Do you love The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything the way that I do? Er, I mean, the way that my kids do? We used to have a Veggie Tunes CD that we listened to in the car over and over and over again. Listening to kiddie music incessantly has been clinically shown to lead to brain atrophy in even the most resilient of parents, but I've always had a soft spot for Veggie Tales music.
Anyway, the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything has long been our favorite Veggie Tales song. I don't know why. Perhaps because it has always seemed hilarious to me to hear my kids belt out the refrain of "And I've never been to Boston in the Faaaaaaaaall!" (It was funnier when we still lived near Boston, and they had, in fact, been to Boston in the Fall. But—recalling some of the other lyrics, here—they really haven't ever plucked a rooster or swabbed a poop deck. And trust me, they are just as lazy as the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.)
In short: We love the Pirates. They don't do anything! Also, they are vegetables! What's not to love?
Well, if you're a fellow Veggie Tales fan, you'll be thrilled to know that The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything are going to be starring in their very own movie. My children think they are too old for Veggie Tales, these days, but when this movie opens in January we are going to see it. Because I want to. And they will love it. Because I said so. Also because we are powerless against a hook like this:
From the creators of 2002′s wildly successful Jonah—A VeggieTales Movie comes a new story of heroism in the beloved VeggieTales' world, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Now, we follow the comic misadventures of three animated veggie pals who reluctantly set sail for adventure and discover that real heroes don't have to be tall, strong, handsome… or even human.
Go visit the site to learn more, watch the trailer, enter a sweepstakes, and play the JumpShip game. And then start counting down til the January release, because this might just be the post-holiday pick-me-up you need.

Customer Reviews of Timberland High Alpine Large 15.6" Laptop Backpack w/ Bungee Utility Pouch
seems durable, but not enough compartments1/6/2011
it's a great looking back pack with a lot of open space, but it would be better if it had a pouch for your mp3 player, and maybe 1-2 other small pouches or at least mesh compartments.
Timberland Never disappoint1/6/2011
We purchase two of the same bag, one in blue and one in black/red. Our intended usage is for day pack for day-hiking trip. We used it on the recent hike at Torrey Pine and it was exactly what we needed. It has three compartment with a front side quick opening. We use that for binoculars/camera for quick access which was very handy. It has two pouches for two water bottles and a small pouch for MP3 players. We paid $35 + tax for the bag. You can't beat a better deal
Nice looking bag but not exactly nice12/10/2010
I purchased this backpack recently, when I get it was very nice. But after a couple of weeks the bag became valueless. The bag handle is gone,the bag is torn all over around. In my opinion a bag should last at least a couple of months, in my case it didn't last even a month.My laptop about 5lb,not that much heavy. So guys save the $$, I don't recommend at all to go with this bag.
Great bag and value11/11/2010
I like a backpack without a bunch of zippers. This is a great item.
Price-Worthy Backpack10/18/2010
When I received this backpack, it arrived in good shape and also in a relatively quick amount of time. I just used the backpack this past weekend on a hiking trip and it felt really comfortable. I've yet to use it with a laptop but I believe based on this past weekend's experience with the bag that the padding on the pack would be thick enough to allow for me to wear the backpack without feeling the laptop. I also used the Bungee Utility Pouch to help hold my friend's jacket on the hiking trip and it worked quite well as the jacket fit snugly inside the pouch.
Great back pack10/5/2010
Fantastic pack. It sits high on the back and the pads make it really easy to wear for long periods of time. Lots of space.
Great school backpack9/4/2010
I bought this for school and activities after. Works for me!

How does it work? Well, the PS3 wont really render the video or audio. Instead, youll actually need to own a gaming PC with enough horsepower to run your favorite games and then stream the audio and video over your network to another device in your home. That second device, however, can be any Linux device, such as a laptop, other PC or PlayStation 3.
At the moment, StreamMyGame works only on home networks ever devices running Linux, but the company has plans to allow remote play over broadband connections and enable streaming for other platforms including Windows Mobile and Googles Android.

A new 28-inch extension Tech-Reach Bait Pro from Technicide provides more length for technicians to reach into areas where pests are a concern. The Tech-Reach allows for deeper baiting behind customer equipment, and higher and lower reach for difficult spots, making it easier for technicians to do their jobs and save on labor time, the company said. The bait syringe is at the end of the tool, so bait is not wasted and stuck in an extension tube, Technicide added. For more information, watch the video at http://bit.ly/1boYosE.

The best wines of 2009
By Jessica Yadegaran
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 at 5:55 pm in Corkheads.
There are a lot of folks blogging on their favorite wines of the year. This is tough for me to do. But I'm working on it.
In the meantime, here's one I like by Tim Rutherford. His selection of Kung Fu Girl is spot-on. That riesling rules. I am also very intrigued by the Blackstock Reserve Merlot from northern Georgia. That made his list, too.

I dropped my youngest daughter off at the airport on Saturday. She was on her way to Kenya to volunteer in a remote rural community. When I looked around at the group of her schoolmates, one thing was noticable. They were all girls.
"Why is this?" asked one parent.
Another parent, a mom, said, "Well, it takes a lot of courage to do this, and I think at this age, girls are more courageous."
I hadn't thought of this, but the more I did, the more I thought she was right. Girls are courageous. If that's true, then how many stay that way, and how many don't? What happens?
As a mother of two girls, I think these are pretty important questions. Terrifying, if you read Heather Mallick's column in The Star. Mallick looks around at the challenges facing women today - U.S. law student Sandra Fluke being called a "slut" and a "prostitute" by Rush Limbaugh because she advocates for birth control, Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth trying to re-define when "personhood" begins - and concludes women are no further ahead than we were a century ago when it comes to deciding who we are, who we want to be, who we can be.
How do we talk to our daughters about this? Will they roll their eyes and say, Mom, you're over-reacting? My girls might. They're young. They think the world is their oyster. Why would they think otherwise? As parents, however, we know it might not be so easy. How do we ensure our daughters stay as strong and courageous as they were when they were young? International Women's Day is a great opportunity to start talking.
Here are a couple of TVOParents discussions to get the conversation started.

According to Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, yes. Grassley expressed concerns the Department of Justice is censoring reporters and trying to control how they quote DOJ attorneys during public meetings yesterday during a Senate Judiciary Committee Executive Session.
Last month, a Justice Department attorney from the Civil Rights Division, attended a public meeting in Louisiana. She reportedly told a reporter who was present, "You can quote those who speak, but you can't quote me."
It has been reported that the reporter asked her to cite legal authority that would support her claim that he couldn't quote a Justice Department attorney at a public meeting. The attorney said that the Justice Department has special rules on how its attorneys can be quoted. She did not back up that statement.
Supposedly, it's Justice Department policy that the press would have fewer rights than the general public to quote what a government representative said. This undercuts the claim that "[t]his Administration has been the most transparent administration ever."
There are reports that the Justice Department attorney then tried to kick the reporter out of the meeting for questioning her.
As if this wasn't enough, she totally abused her power, according to press reports. She told the reporter that she could have the Justice Department call the newspaper's publishers or editors, saying, "you don't want to get on the Department of Justice's bad side."
That statement represents a raw abuse of power. Threatening to use the power to bring a criminal case or civil action against an entity because it had the audacity to insist that the Department of Justice obey the First Amendment is outrageous.
The newspaper has protested to the Justice Department and hasn't to my knowledge received any response. The Department's public comment on the incident doesn't deny that any of the reported statements were made.
If the Department has a policy of preventing the press from quoting the statements of its attorneys at public meetings, that policy should be reversed immediately. And whether it has a policy or not, the attorney who claimed that such a policy existed, tried to expel a reporter from a public meeting for quoting her, and threatened the reporter for "get[ting] on the Department of Justice's bad side," should be appropriately disciplined.
If they aren't censoring reporters, they sure aren't treating them well, not to mention their refusal to respond properly to Freedom of Information Act requests or comment on controversial topics.

Sharing CyberColloids experience
Company background
CyberColloids is a group of experts and companies working together to create a centre of excellence of polysaccharides with a view to enable companies to cost effectively add value through research and innovation. Founded in 2002, CyberColloids has grown to employ twelve staff and has laboratory facilities.
CyberColloids is a private R&D company (SME) that provides innovative technical and business solutions for raw material suppliers, processors and users of hydrocolloids at a global level. It is also a recognised research provider and ranks alongside third level research institutions at an EU level. Ross Campbell, Managing Director of CyberColloids said 'We believe that our success in securing funding is a result of being firmly rooted in the commercial world and maintaining a strong commitment to provide innovative solutions for the commercialisation of science'.
Based in Co. Cork, Ireland, the company plays an active role in the Irish seaweed industry but has also developed strong links with harvesters and processors in UK, Europe, SE Asia and Central America.
Technology / expertise
The company is essentially focussed on four core areas:
Hydrocolloid & polysaccharide chemistry: This encompasses a fundamental knowledge of the raw material; technical & operational support for subsequent processing activities; innovative modification & extraction techniques and development of value added market products. Ross Campbell MD added 'Hydrocolloid and polysaccharide chemistry has been the primary research focus for us since the company was founded in 2002 and it is by this reputation that the company has developed into a recognised centre of excellence'.
Food application research: The CyberColloids team primarily specialises in dairy, meat and savoury food systems but also works in other food areas. 'We have a global client base that reaches across Europe, USA, South America, India and South East Asia – 95% of our client base are overseas'. Some examples of food application research include: Improving laminated dough fluffiness with modified guars; Making creamy 3 % fat mayonnaise with novel fibres; Restructured meats/fruits with unique gelling fruit and vegetable fibres from waste streams.
Hydrocolloids for health: Low molecular weight fibres & polysaccharides for potential prebiotic & digestive health, and the development of a range of better quality gluten free products.
Seaweeds for health: Exploring low molecular weight alginates & agars for digestive health; antioxidant & anti-inflammatory activity of seaweed derived polyphenols; anticancer potential of seaweed extracts, and developing novel methodology for the extraction of interesting bioactives from seaweed.
Research Collaboration
Ross Campbell MD 'We have ongoing long term research, which includes participating in European FP7 projects, National projects and collaborating with universities'.
Examples of recent & ongoing FP7 EU Projects which CyberColloids are currently participating in:
- SWAFAX: seaweed derived anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds
- HYFFI: Low Molecular Weight (LMWP) seaweed hydrocolloids as prebiotics
- Gluten Free bread and pasta
- LikeMeat looking at improved mouthfeel on meat analogues
Future outlook
In 2005 the company developed a new core discipline and has established itself as a recognised research provider in the "seaweeds for health" space. According to Ross Campbell MD 'There is a great opportunity in human health for us, to look beyond the interesting textural properties of seaweed derived hydrocolloids, and explore the nutritional and health potential of seaweeds'. CyberColloids is currently engaged in a number of research projects that are exploring the nutritional and health potential of seaweeds - Prebiotics from LMW hydrocolloids (alginate, agar, guar); Bioactives from seaweeds (polyphenols and others) and; Taste molecules from seaweed as a salt replacement tool.
Also in negotiation phase for the TASTE project that will address the use of seaweeds to develop natural & healthy flavour ingredients for salt replacement.

SACKVILLE, N.B. ŌĆō A recent trip to Halifax sparked a trip down memory lane for SackvilleŌĆÖs Jonas Cosh, who had a chance to board the tall ship Lord Nelson once again and recall his adventure sailing the seas on the same boat nearly four years ago.
In September 2010, Cosh, 31, who has Cerebral Palsy, flew to Glasgow, Scotland and stepped on board the Lord Nelson to begin a week-long journey that took him from the Irish Sea to Dublin, and ended at Cardiff, Wales. He had learned about the tall ship adventure through a magazine called Abilities.
ŌĆ£The seven days onboard was an awesome experience,ŌĆØ says Cosh, who was believed to be the first Canadian to sail the ship.
The Lord Nelson and its sister ship, the Tenacious, are adapted to meet the needs of people with disabilities. They are from Southampton, England and are part of the Jubilee Sailing Trust.

Artifact 2013.10.1 Dolly Parton Pinball Machine
This Dolly Parton themed pinball machine is artifact number 2013.10.1 in the Appalachian Studies Teaching Collection of the Loyal Jones Appalachian Center in Berea, Kentucky.
Log of Maintenance and Repairs
2013.10.1 is a living artifact. We have elected to maintain this artifact in playable condition, which requires some regular maintainence and repairs. This is unusual becuase we generally try to freeze an artifact in time, not doing any repairs or restoration.
- 2013 Jun - At acquisition mahine was in playable condition, but many lights were burned out, three drop targets were broken, one was badly damaged, ectifier board connectors were in very poor condition with evidence that there had been a fire there. The playfield and box were very dirty. A doorbell button had been attached near the coin door and wired to simulate a coin drop and add credits.
- 2013 July - Replaced all playfield rubbers, including: flippers bands, upper playfield stop, all rubber post caps holding plastics in place, and shooter tip.
- 2013 july - Removed all old No.47 light bulbs and replaced with No.44 as reccomended. Cleaned some sockets. Three bulbs still did not work and showed no power at the socket. Component failures on the lamp board suspected.
- 2013 July - Removed old, dead, leaking ni-cad battery from MPU board.
Provenance of Artifact 2013.10.1
This machine, serial number EDP5414, was built on September 25, 1979 at the Bally factory in Chicago. During its commercial life, it was owned by the Venco Amusement Company of Bland, Virginia. Venco probably placed it in bars, convenience stores, gas stations, or arcades. When its commercial life was over, it was sold into home use. It had at least two home-use owners. The last owner lived in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. He bought it for his family because his wife was from Dolly Parton's hometown, Sevierville, Tennessee. The machine was purchased by the Loyal Jones Appalachian Center at Berea College in June 2013. It was placed in service in the Gallery in August 2013.
What is "Provenance"?
Provenance is the literal history of one specific artifact, such as who owned it, when it was made, and where it came from.
Signing on Dolly Parton
Bally, a leading pinball machine maker, had a successful series of machines based on celebrities including singer Elton John, daredevil Evil Knievel, hockey star Bobby Orr, and the rock group KISS. Bally Executive Tom Nieman wanted a machine he could sell to country/western-themed bars. In 1978, Bally approached Appalachian-born country music star Dolly Parton to license her persona for a new pinball machine. Parton agreed, a contract was signed, and design work began. This began an interesting process of determining how Parton would be portrayed in the artwork on the machine. Click the "Story" tab above to learn more.

Now I'm sure that other people are out there on the Streets of San Francisco (™, a Quinn Martin Production) commuting to work on a Segway scooter, but this guy, this guy*, he's the man. Why? Staying power, baby. He's been doing it for while. With style.
Note the black suit, black gloves, stick-it-to-the-Man lawyer's ponytail(?), saddlebag, auxilliary lighting – it's got to be the same dude I used to see years ago on Market Street. Apparently, he has a safe and convenient way of storing his rig at home and at work, and he's worked out a good-enough system for safekeeping while performing errands. Good for him.
Click to expand. On Market crossing problematic Octavia Boulevard, San Francisco's Greatest Public Policy Disaster of the 21st Century**
You see, he's not riding on the sidewalk, not tromping on the grass, not riding on the train tracks, not clowning around in Golden Gate Park like Lily, not skylarking himself into a painful (at the very least – that poor, poor woman) faceplant, not killing himself at 5 MPH, not playing soulja boy, and not wearing a tuxedo while escorting a high-heeled woman(!) to the exclusive Black and White Ball.
In short, the man has his dignity.
Quite unlike Gob, for another example:
Truth be told, the San Francisco man you see in the first photo is using the cleverly-designed Segway exactly as it was meant to be used. (There was some issue before about allowing Segways on sidewalks, but all the effort by a bunch of lobbyists failed. So, the street is where these things belong, apparently.)
The problem Segway Inc. has is that there was no way IT (a former name, along with "Ginger") could possibly live up to the hype that came from Segway Inc. and Various Famous People.
But that's ancient history now. What's the future of the Seqway PT? Only Time Will Tell.
*Note the use of a Canon 135mm 2.0 lens avec full-frame digital camera. The key is to use this combo wide-open, so you use either Aperture Priority or Manual Mode to set the lens to f/stop 2.0. (That's the full Clockwork Orange setting, no squinting allowed.) You end up with a diffuse, fuzzy background (depending on geometry of where you're standing, etc.) and clear view of whatever you focused upon, assuming the not-so-hot auto focus feature of your Canon 5D (Mark II or Mark I) got the job done. This special kind of look is why some people get digital SLR cameras.)
**So far. The NIMBYs of Hayes Valley have nine decades left to top themselves.
San Francisco has had its share of battles about beaches, dogs and Western Snowy Plover birds so it's only logical that nearby Pacifica, CA gets into the act as well. Some dog owners down there are hopping mad, as you might expect in light of San Francisco's recent experience.
But, as you can see from this shot from Ingrid Taylar's About.com San Francisco, these little dickens have cuteness on their side. And that always helps.
Stay smooth, Pacifica.
Brace yourself, this photo of an adult plover on Ocean Beach gets extra big when you click on it:
Of course San Francisco is for Plovers, as the T-shirt says:
More deets after the jump.
Godspeed, little plovers!
You know those Segway scooters, right? Have you seen the latest crash footage, like the Sex in the City faceplant? (Ouch, it hoits to even watch.) Of course you have, you've even seen Japanese chimpanzees riding the things.
Nowadays, the best place to see a Segway is in Golden Gate Park. They're all over the place. On the roads, the paths, the sidewalks, all over.
Does this Segway rental experience look like a good use of $90? Click to expand:
Maybe there are better places for these things? The Marina District? Sonoma? On stage with Lil Wayne?
Now back in the day, Segways were supposed to change the world. They were the Tesla Roadsters of their day:
"When it was launched in December 2001 the annual sales target was 40,000 units, and the company expected to sell 50,000 to 100,000 units in the first 13 months. Segway Inc's investors were optimistic. Inventor Dean Kamen predicted that the Segway "will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy." John Doerr, a venture capitalist who invested in the company, predicted that Segway, Inc. would be the fastest company to reach $1 billion in sales. In fact only about 30,000 Segways were sold from 2001 to 2007. Critics point to Segway Inc's silence over its financial performance as an indication that the company is still not profitable, as about $100 million was spent developing the Segway."
Oh well.

Information for Special Students
Non-UWM Students
The Study Abroad Office welcomes non-UWM students to apply to many UWM-sponsored study abroad programs. Non-UWM students are not eligible to apply to UWM exchange programs.
Non-UWM students are registered as visiting UWM students and receive a Panther Access to Web Services (PAWS) account. Program fees are charged to this PAWS account, from which students can make online check, debit and credit card payments. All program application application and payment deadlines apply to non-UWM students. Non-UWM students who enroll in a UWM study abroad program automatically have a hold placed on their account to ensure payment. Once payment is made full, contact the Study Abroad Office and ask for the hold to be removed so you may order your official transcript.
Employer Benefits
The Center for International Education (CIE) encourages individuals receiving employer benefits to study abroad. Study abroad programs and non-UWM programs are not tuition-based. They are based on a program fee for the entire program. UWM exchange programs are tution-based. For study abroad and non-UWM programs this is usually a very important distinction to keep in mind if your employer is paying for your tuition because these programs will not generate tuition.
If you're participating in a study abroad program, your program fees will be posted to your PAWS account in four different categories:
- Academic Expenses
- Faculty Expenses
- Student Expenses
- Study Abroad Fees
Academic expenses are in lieu of tuition and include faculty salary and any additional academic fees related to your program. Faculty expenses include your share of the program leader's expenses such as flight, lodging, transportation, insurance etc.. Student expenses include student expenses that are not academic in nature such as flight, lodging, transportation, excursions, insurance, meals etc.. Study abroad expenses include administrative fees that are charged by the Study Abroad Office. This explanation should help your employer establish which fees might be covered by your employer benefits in lieu of tuition.
Employer benefits and tuition reimbursement policies vary from employer to employer. You can use the charges listed on your PAWS account to inform your employer about program fees that may be covered. We highly encourage you to meet with your employer to discuss their specific requirements for your employer benefits prior to submitting and application for a study abroad program.
Veterans Abroad
The CIE encourages individuals receiving veterans' benefits to explore UWM's many education abroad opportunities. Depending on the kind of education benefits a veteran receives, all or some of their study abroad fees may be paid. Because legislation relating to veteran benefits has changed frequently within the last few years. UWM veterans interested in studying abroad are encouraged to be in contact with staff in the UWM Military Education Benefits Office (http://www4.uwm.edu/mebo/) to find out how their benefits can be applied to study abroad.
Students with Disabilities
If you have any health, physical or learning disabilities which would require special assistance during your study abroad program, you should contact your health care provider, your study abroad coordinator and the Student Accessibility Center at UWM. Please inform the Study Abroad Office at least 60 days prior to your program departure date about any health, physical or learning difficulties for which you may need accommodation. If special assistance requests are not received at least 60 days in advance, we may not be able to accommodate your request. In all cases, even if requests are received on time, we cannot guarantee that your request can be accommodated.
For more information, Mobility International USA (http://www.miusa.org/ and http://www.miusa.org/ncde) has many resources for people with disabilities (cognitive, hearing, learning, mental health, physical, systemic, vision, and other disabilities) pursuing international travel and exchange.

Barclays Capital analyst Alicia Yap this morning reduced her rating on Sina to Equal Weight from Overweight, cutting her target on the stock to $70, from $103. The stock closed Wednesday at $62.52.
Yap writes that she expects conservative guidance from the Chinese Internet player when it reports Q4 results next Monday. "With a continued commitment to invest aggressively to ramp up its Weibo ecosystem, we expect costs associated with server/bandwidth, R&D and [sales and marketing] investment to rise into 2012," she writes in a research note. "Consensus numbers do not appear to have factored in the downside risk of a significant earnings revision."
She also note that there continues to be "uncertainty surrounding the impact/transition of real-name registration for Weibo."
Yap chopped her 2012 EPS forecast to 91 cents a share from $1.30, well below consensus at $1.37. For FY 2013, she now sees $1.75 a share, down from $2.59.
For Q4, Yap sees revenue of $120 million and profits of 20 cents a share, a penny below consensus.
SINA is down $1.01, or 1.6%, to $61.51.

LPA gives local leaders needed support, training so locals and members thrive
Strong, active local associations all seem to have one thing in common—well-trained presidents who have the resources, training and time necessary to do the jobs for which there were elected.
The Local President Presidents Academy (LPA) provides a year-long opportunity for leadership experiences focused on strengthening local associations and member engagement.
The LPA is designed for all local presidents—new and experienced, EA, ESP and higher education—regardless of whether they have release time or not. All academy-related expenses will be paid. Only leaders in good standing are eligible.
There's room for 25 candidates in LPS. No applications will be considered if eligibility requirements are not met or if any part of the application is incomplete. All applications must be received by Monday, June 2.

Recording now for a couple decades, Diane Schuur's singing has matured with age. She now fills out her middle and lower registers in ways that enhance her formidable beginnings. Over the years she's moved easily from small combos to large and swinging bands.
For her third release on the Concord label she revels in late night moods and matters. The album's thirteen songs were written specifically for Schuur by Barry Manilow, who also co-produced the set. It's a good match, as both Manilow and Schuur have drawn from or even immersed themselves in pop material as well as jazz. A song like "Stay Away From Bill" owes as much to Tin Pan Alley and Broadway as to more traditional jazz realms. Elsewhere, the settings mix a range of nocturnal rhythms and colors, from the light bossa-nova of "I'll Be There" to the saucy swing of "Southwind" and the torch balladry of "Good-bye My Love." The album closes with one of a handful of duets, this one with none other than Manilow himself, who offers up nicely nuanced subtleties in his pairing. --David Greenberger

'Spools of black plastic everywhere'With land prices in South Dakotaas high as $6,000 an acre, farmers are out to wring every dollar they can from their fields.
By: Ross Dolan, Forum News Service
MITCHELL, S.D. — With land prices in South Dakotaas high as $6,000 an acre, farmers are out to wring every dollar they can from their fields.
For many, that means installing drain tile.
The "tile" label is a holdover from an earlier time, when drainpipe was made from ceramic, tile-like material.
"We've seen quite an increase in tiling interest," says Glen Lowrie, owner of GDL Ag Services in Mitchell, S.D., a company that plans and installs drain tile systems.
"Farmers want their land to be more productive, and tiling is one way to gain productivity from the land you have, rather than just by buying more ground."
Tiling costs $600 to $800 per acre to install 4- to 6-inch pipe, Lowrie says.
"With land at $6,000 an acre in some places, that's about 10 percent of land cost, but it's a 30- to 40-year investment," he says.
Lowrie has installed about 300 acres of tile in Davison County.
He says tile is placed using a plow or trenching machine that is guided by GPS technology. The computerized system allows drain tile to be set at a precise depth and slope for a specific application, to an accuracy of half an inch.
Davison County, S.D., drainage administrator Jeff Bathke says that since the end of September 2010, applications for 7,960 acres of land have been approved for drainage work in the county, or roughly 3.8 percent of the county's 207,360 acres.
"There is no way to know how much illegal drainage has been completed," Bathke says.
Statewide, the total number of acres tiled is equally vague, says Jay Gilbertson, manager of the Brookings, S.D.-based East Dakota Water Development District, which has studied drainage matters.
"There are spools of black plastic everywhere," Gilbertson says. "But South Dakota is a long way from Minnesota and Iowa, which have been tiling land for a long time. South Dakota has only been tiling in earnest for five or six years, but 20 years from now that's going to be different."
The South Dakota Watershed Task Force is doing a three-year study and will make recommendations to the Legislature in 2015 based on its findings. Those findings could suggest a state drainage application process.
There is no state drainage law, but state law gives counties a legal framework they can use to establish their own drainage ordinances.
To date, about 17 eastern South Dakota counties have drainage ordinances, Gilbertson says, but some counties, citing high administrative costs and potential liabilities from drainage litigation, have chosen to abandon the drainage business.
Brookings, Kingsbury, Hamlin and Turner counties got out of the drainage business in 2011, Gilbertson says.
State law allows counties to charge a maximum of $100 for drainage applications, which typically doesn't come close to covering administrative costs, he adds.
Davison County has chosen to remain in the drainage business. It recently updated its 1985 drainage ordinance and requires permits for new drainage projects, as well as for work to maintain existing projects.
Davison County Commissioner Denny Kiner said the aim of the revised law is to head off problems that can arise between neighbors because of drainage issues and to develop a means of accurately recording the locations of drain projects within the county.
Drainage is a hot issue, says state Sen. Mike Vehle, who supported unsuccessful legislation that would have created a uniform county drainage permit application and would have removed the current state-imposed $100 fee cap.
"I got more phone calls on SB 179 than I've gotten on any other bill I've sponsored," Vehle says. "People were worried it was against drain tiling, and it wasn't."
Vehle still thinks some kind of uniform state drainage application process is needed because drained water will flow to counties whether or not they have a drainage law.
Vehle is vice chairman of the Watershed Task Force, and that body could suggest options to deal with the growing number of drainage projects.
He says it will become increasingly important to deal with the drainage issues that will arise as the projects increase in number.
"There will be problems as pasture is being farmed and runoff increases," Vehle says. "Water doesn't know county lines."

Inspiration for my postcard's design
A visit to New Zealand and then seeing the wonderful quilts Gail Lawther created after her visit to that fantastic country. The postcard is a representation of the beachscapes and the colours of the ocean in NZ.
Techniques I used to make the postcard
Simply layering strips of fabric across a muslin base layer and then adding a variety of threads of different textures and machine and hand stitching the whole together. Finally I added a piece of paua shell and some beading.
This postcard traveled safely "naked" through the UK postal system to it's destination.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a frame to preview how the finished postcard will look - it's amazing the difference it makes.
- Tack or machine a holding row of stitches beyond the final edge of the work. Then everything stays in place while you add beads and the final embellishments.
Materials I used to make my fabric postcard
Fabric and threads from my scrap basket.
Double-sided iron on Pelmet vilene (buckram) for the stiffening layer.
Muslin backing for the design.
Cotton for the backing.
How long did it take to make the postcard?
3 hours.

Gear Review
Brian Reyman
Still the Best Top-Mounted Canister Stove Available
I was recently looking for a small, light and reliable top-mounted canister stove for use on fast overnighters, on day trips and as a backup to my MSR WindPro (which is the best overall canister stove, in my opinion).
After lots of research on forums/reviews, I narrowed it down to the MSR Pocket Rocket and the Snow Peak GigaPower. I ended up buying both and brought them on a recent backpacking trip. Both performed well - both measured up to what I wanted. I had to make a call, though, as I was only keeping one.
I went with the GigaPower for several reasons:
- It's smaller (it's pack size and case are significantly less than the Pocket Rocket)
- It has 4 pot supports. Unlike what others have reported, the Pocket Rocket seemed very stable. Four seemed better than three in most cases, though
- It has an available windscreen. The Pocket Rocket has one built in, but the overall design of the added windscreen for the Giga Power will give better protection in the long run
- Simmering is just a tiny bit better, allowing for slightly lower temperatures - and the burner face is a little more spread out, providing for more even heat distribution
If you need an incredibly small, cheap, high output, reliable stove, go with the GigaPower. You won't be sorry.
As a note, if you don't mind a bit more weight (go up to 7 ounces), the WindPro is the best overall canister stove available anywhere. It simmers incredibly well (it's my go to for pizzas, pancakes, etc.) and allows for a windscreen.

Brian, thanks for the high quality report.

Irradiated vs. pasteurized
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a rule to revise regulations on labeling irradiated foods. Under the proposal, companies would have to label irradiated food only when the treatment causes a "material change" to the product. FDA also is proposing to let companies use the term "pasteurized" to describe irradiated foods. (Associated Press)
Forests vs. timber
The value of Washington's forests is more than the value of its trees. Many mushrooms, for instance, such as chanterelles, morels and oysters, grow wild in forests where they are a source of agritourism, while oysters and shiitakes are cultivated on timber and timber byproducts. Mushrooms bring in more than $17 million per year and rank 28th in value among the state's agricultural commodities. (Washington State University)
Sterilize all almonds?
Starting in September, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will require all California almonds to undergo chemical fumigation with propylene oxide and/or high-temperature treatments. The only exemption is organic "raw" almonds, which won't be fumigated but will undergo steam-heat treatment. (Cornucopia Institute)
Organic kiwi advantage
Researchers at the University of California Davis are reporting an organic advantage in kiwi. They grew two plots of kiwi, side by side, one organic, the other using pesticides and chemical fertilizer. The organic kiwi had 18 percent more polyphenols, which are associated with reduced cholesterol and improved circulation. They also had a 27 percent higher level of antioxidants, which help protect against damage to cellular structures and DNA. (Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture)
Warm winters hurt maple sugar industry
In Vermont, global warming is wreaking havoc on the sugar maple industry. Warmer-than-usual winters are causing the sap to rise in sugar maple trees almost a month earlier than 10 years ago. Some sugar makers say they fear for the survival of New England's maple forests. (The New York Times)
Shareholders challenge Dean Foods/Horizon Organics
For the second year in a row, socially concerned investors in Dean Foods have filed a shareholder proposal asking management to address concerns about "factory farms" that provide milk for the Horizon Organic brand. Dean Foods is appealing to the Securities and Exchange Commission to prevent shareholders from voting on the proposal. Farms owned by Dean Foods in Idaho and Maryland are under investigation by the USDA. (The Cornucopia Institute)
Hawaii to ban GE coffee and taro?
The Hawaii State House of Representatives passed a bill to prohibit outdoor planting of genetically engineered coffee. The Hawaiian Senate passed a 10-year ban against planting and research on GMO taro, a staple crop. Both, however, died before final approval. (Ecological Farming Organization)
GE cotton failing
A study conducted by Cornell University found that genetically engineered "Bt" cotton is failing in China; farmers are incurring losses rather than making profits.
Researchers found that Bt cotton cut pesticide use significantly the first three years but then farmers had to spray as much as anyone and their average income was eight percent less, partly because Bt seed costs three times more than normal seed. After seven years, pest populations increased so much that farmers had to spray their crops up to 20 times per season. (Gene Campaign, Delhi, India)
GE alfalfa seed sales stopped
A federal judge has vacated the USDA's approval of genetically engineered "Roundup Ready™" alfalfa and ordered an immediate halt to sales of the seed. The injunction ordered by Judge Charles Breyer in the northern district of California follows his ruling in March that the USDA violated environmental laws by approving the alfalfa without a full Environmental Impact Statement.

Huawei Ascend P1 will reportedly be "enhanced" for the UK market
A report has surfaced, claiming that the likable Huawei Ascend P1 midrange Android smartphone will get "enhanced" to cope better with the highly competitive UK market. The changes include a beefed up 1800mAh battery, as well as treatment to give the smartphone a more "premium" feel.
The larger battery unit is certainly a welcome addition to the device's spec sheet. We do wonder how much will it impact its seriously elegant measures though. As for the "premium" feel of the P1 - we'll tell you more about it when we catch a glimpse of the refreshed handset.

If you are thinking that learning how to get your ex back is difficult? Then stop thinking that way. Because in this article you will learn all the things that you need to know to how to get your ex back. Many people have been looking for the answers to the question 'how to get your ex back?' but most of the data available on internet is unreliable and based on unpractical things. Moreover, if you want to know how to get your ex back, you not only have to think about all the things that you can do to get your ex back but also you should understand what are those things that can create more spaces between you and your ex.
Among dozens of tips to bring back your ex only few that are most practical and guarantee 100% success are included in this article. Let us learn about how to get your ex back through the "Don'ts":
So you wanna get your ex back….
How to Get Your Ex Back? The Don'ts:
1. HOW TO GET YOUR EX BACK? DO NOT CHASE YOUR EX: Yes, you need to maintain your grace and the charm in your personality. Begging your ex and apologizing him/her for multiple times will harm your dignity and make you less tempting to your ex. What do you think about the one who keeps on pleading to you once you have refused him/her? This is not the way to get your ex back. This is the dumbest and the most immature way and you need consult someone to learn how to get your ex back.
2. DO NOT GET DEPRESSED: Of course it is a difficult think to do but this is not something that will make you appealing to your ex. If you want to get your ex back then you have to act normal, keep a smile on your face and enrich your words with confidence. Moreover, getting depressed will hurt your other areas of life. Definitely, you would not like to get fired of your job because you lost your ex.
3. DO NOT CONTACT YOUR EX FREQUENTLY: This may not appear a suitable options to some heart broken people but this is something that really helps in getting back your ex. Not contacting your ex and acting as if you do not care makes your ex think that it is not you who lost something in this breakup rather she will start thinking that she lost you and would try to get you back, her precious.
4. DO NOT ENGAGE IN A NEW RELATIONSHIP TOO FAST: Many people try to get involved in a new relationship with a hot boyfriend or a girlfriend right after the breakup. This is done mainly in an attempt to make their ex jealous and make him/her think that he or she lost you. But if you really have some deep feelings for your ex then this is a foolish thing to do. This will only bring you more far from your ex and then regain his or trust would become much more difficult. Always remember that getting into bed with someone in not the way how to get your ex back.
Avoiding these things would not only give you strength to tackle with the harsh feelings of a breakup but will also give you a strong position to get your ex back. There are few tips that are highly rated in the niche of 'how to get your ex back' acting upon them will make getting you get back a lot easier.
How to Get Your Ex Back? The Do's:
1. BE MORE GROOMED AND ATTRACTIVE: Make your ex notice what he/she has lost. You need to generate some more value for yourself. Be more graceful and confident and try to dress more delightfully. Going through a total make over may also strengthen your point of how to get your ex back.
2. KEEP IN TOUCH: Getting disappeared from your ex's world will make him/her think that you are no more interested in him/her. So, you need not to meet her specifically but it is recommended to show your appearance at place where your ex is more likely to visit. And even if he or she comes to you face to face then act confidently, be friendly and smile to your ex. This shall make your ex feel that how good you were and how good you can be in future.
3. DISTRACT YOURSELF: If you decide to 'celebrate' this breakup by locking yourself in your room and listening to sad songs then never ever think about being in a good relationship in near future. The best way to keep you from making desperate moves is by distracting yourself. Learning how to get your ex back starts from learning how to deal with your emotions. You always have the option to meet your friends, go out on parties, and find some little chores for you at home in the evening or even you can try the new video game.
4. TAKE THINGS SLOW: Haste makes waste in every situation and learning how to get your ex back in not an exception. Patience is the first rule while trying to get back your ex. Do not get carried away by your turbulent emotions after a breakup. Take rational decisions and act slow because this is the period when you are disturbed mentally and are desperate to find your love back. Keep in mind that the only way to get your ex back is by giving you and your ex some time for starting afresh.
Learning how to get your ex back revolves around understanding the things that are really going to help you in winning your ex back and the things that will be detrimental for your relationship. Quick, desperate moves, based on emotions are not something that are going to help you in getting your ex back. You need to be open, confident and optimistic if you want your ex to contact you first and this is the only way how to get your ex back.

BILL PUNISHES CUBA TRAVELERS - Mitch Perry
Earlier this summer, a new Bush Administration policy on travel and remittances regarding Cuban Americans went into effect, deeply dividing Cuban Americans on the new restrictions. Now a Miami State Representative wants to go even FURTHER than the Presidentââ¬â¢s policiesââ¬Â¦.. Republican David Rivera yesterday announced the ââ¬ÅTravel and Commerce with Terrorist Nations Actââ¬?(roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?here in Floridaââ¬?) The Presidentââ¬â¢s new policy reduces the allowed number of Cubans' and Cuban Americans' visits to relatives on the island from once a year to once every three years. The administration also capped the amount of money that Cubans in the United States can send to relatives on the island to $100 a month. Rivera said the legislation is aimed at stopping recent arrivals who come to the United States, apply for benefits and then travel back to visit Cuba. Though such travel is legal, Rivera argues that the money spent on the island only helps prop up Cuban leader Fidel Castro.(roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?to the regimeââ¬?) Besides Cuba, the countries include Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria and Sudan. Because direct charter flights from Florida to any of the other nations are essentially nonexistent, the bill ultimately applies only to Cuba. Activists who favor increased contact with the island accused Rivera of trying to rally support for the president's travel restrictions. Sylvia Wilhelm is the Executive Director of the Cuban American Commission for Family Rights. She says this legislation is cruel and penalizes the most vulnerable (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?get penalizedââ¬?) Polls suggest that new restrictions that limit travel and cash remittances to families have been embraced by hard-line exiles, who had urged Bush to take a stronger stance against Castro or risk losing Cuban-American support at the polls in November. The Miami Herald reported on Wednesday that Representative Rivera was among a dozen legislators who wrote to Bush last summer, warning him that Cuban Americans would be less than enthusiastic about his re-election if he didn't tighten sanctions on Castro. Those new restrictions went into effect last month. But many younger Cuban Americans have decried the restrictions as too harsh, and Democrats have sought to court those voters, calling the restrictions harmful to families. Sylvia Wilhelm from the Cuban American Commission for Family Rights says that like so many other issues involving Cuba in Florida, especially during an election year, politics is at play here. But she doesnââ¬â¢t think it will work (roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?it will backfire come November 2ndââ¬?) Representative Rivera says any that money from those unused benefits would go to programs to purchase eyeglasses and hearing aids for the elderly -- and he notes that those under 18 or over 65, disabled or pregnant would not be affected by the legislation. The proposal also would require all travelers to Cuba to register with the state -- and would slap a $10 per passenger fee on the charter airlines that fly to the island.comments powered by Disqus

Slipknot tonight
I'm seeing Slipknot tonight. I saw them yesterday at the Soundwave festival, they certainly put on a good show.
Limp Bizkit was great yesterday, I'm not much of a fan for their music but they basically turned their show into a tribute for a girl who died at their last concert in Sydney 11 years ago at a festival called the Big Day Out. The girl's name was Jessica Michalik, she was only 16 and she was crushed to death by the crowd during the Limp Bizkit set. It was massive news here and in many ways marked a big downturn in their popularity here and worldwide. Well yesterday they had the deceased girl's dad there and they talked about it a lot (blamed the promoters and the police) and Fred handled it really well. I've never really respected Fred Durst before.
