Visit my store
Below are the two renders of the bottles from the Love Poision with Gemologica materials applied to them.
Click each of the images to see them enlarged.
Oh! What a great idea!
They look terrific Artini!
Thanks a lot for the comments, Fisty and Marieah.
Gemologica is such a nice set of shaders, that can be used on almost everything.
I just had lots and lots of fun with one pic where I took that Queen Elizabeth I necklace, applied plenty of shaders, a treasure chest (FYI—diamond on potion bottle + opal w/opacity 95% looks great) etc stuff. Sadly, can't show the pic until I get a permission, since it was a commission job…
I was totally right, Gemologica is one of the best investments I've made in terms of FUN & USEFULNESS.
Remembering Jaderail. Rest, my friend.
My DeviantArt page.
My DAZ Studio 4 freebies.
My ramblings/blog
I got a permission to show the gemmed bits!
So, here's the treasure chest—coins have Dzfire's shader, but bottle is made outta diamond, liquid is 95% opacity opal, chalice and ring have metal shaders from Gemologica, ring's stone is from there too.
The character—a fighter-y sort of female, of no-nonsense no-fun-whatsoever variety—is gingerly picking up the gaudiest necklace she has ever seen, with a look of "WTF is this ****" on her face.
Hahaha she's holding it like it's rotten or something!
Fisty - 20 August 2012 07:45 AMHahaha she's holding it like it's rotten or something!
Yes! That's precisely how my customer wanted me to do it! "Can you have her hold it like it is a rotten fish or something?" "Sure!"
When does the sale end
I don't rightfully know.. it went on sale on the 10th so if it's 2 weeks you have til the 24th.
Marieah should know for sure, that's set at upload time and she was the one that uploaded it.
I actually got a friend of mine a Daz gift card so she can get this and she loves it
Beautiful work Marieah and Fisty.
By the way, here's my two gem-heavy piccies now that I got a permission to stick 'em in reduced size to DA:
Ice drake attack (I used fake diamonds etc for dragon body)
Disappointing treasure (previously seen snippets)
Okay, now I understand a bit better how shaders work - so, here's "The fight of the Gemologista":

I'm pretty sure I've narrowed my transmission problems down to my torque converter. If I hit the gas hard from a stop, the car will shudder. TC shudder. Going up hills, the car shudders. When you take your foot off the brake and you're in drive, the car BARELY moves under it's own power. My mom's L36 feels stronger off the line and moves a lot easier. If you let off the brake, it takes off pretty well on it's own, unlike mine.
I can get a torque converter for $120, and if this is the problem, I'd much rather just go ahead and change that rather than trying to source an entire tranny.
So, does this sound like TC problem to you guys?

From September 4th through 14th, 2012, the Kappa Tau Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated conducted its "A Voteless People Is a Hopeless People" national program. Going into the program, the chapter had set a goal to register no less than 500 students of Kansas State University to vote in the upcoming presidential and vice-presidential elections. While the goal was to be met at the end of the second and final week of the program, the Kappa Tau chapter boasted an outstanding 540 voter registrations by the end of the first week. Having met its initial goal a week ahead of schedule, the chapter regrouped and set a new goal of 800 registrations to be met by the conclusion of the program. The road from 500 to 800 was harder than the road from 0 to 500, but the brotherhood persevered, giving all their available time towards voter registration when not in class or work. The result: 804 students of Kansas State University registered to vote and the Kappa Tau Chapter overshooting its initial goal by over 60%.
The chapter planned its voter registration drive for over 2 months before commencement. All the reservations for facilities needed to conduct the drive had to be run by the appropriate campus officials. A promotional video for the program was shot and premiered with cameo appearances from popular Kansas State figureheads such as Dr. Pat Bosco, Vice-President of Student Life, and Dr. Myra Gordon, Associate Provost for Diversity. Brothers also took the program to social media such as Facebook and Twitter in order to insure adequate publicity. Representatives of the KSU College Republicans also provided assistance voter registration. The Kappa Tau Chapter conducted research on absentee voting in order to educate themselves before educating others. Brothers handed out literature, bumper stickers, and additional paraphernalia of both Republican and Democratic candidates for presidential, vice-presidential, and senatorial positions as the chapter chose to remain politically neutral over the course of the drive. The result of these efforts yielded an unparalleled success in voter registration. However, the true measure of the brotherhood's success will quantified by the number of people out of the 804 people newly registered to vote showing up to the polls on November 6th, 2012.

Missed out on any UFC news over the weekend? Well, GracieMag.com has you covered. Here are the stories that made the biggest MMA headlines over the weekend.
Rousey to coach TUF opposite Tate or Zingano
UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will be the next coach of the The Ultimate Fighter, when the series enters its 18th season later this year, according to UFC president Dana White.
The UFC boss announced the news during the UFC 158 Pay-Per-View broadcast, which coincidentally made Joe Rogan do consecutive odd facial expressions that the MMA world enjoyed through laughter. Seriously, he looked like he had stomach issues that were making him uneasy. If we could post the video, we would. But that's a no-no in terms of copyrights and all that legal junk.
Anyway, Rousey will coach against the winner of the Miesha Tate-Cat Zingano match-up. The contestants on the show will be made up of 135-pound men and women. A move that Rogan told White was "cats and dogs."
Uh-oh, Nick Diaz had a run-in with the cops last night
Don't be scared, homie! He wasn't arrested or anything, but this picture of him sitting on the curb next to a patrol car with its lights on was quite the tidbit.
According to TMZ.com, Diaz tweeted the picture last night with the caption "F**k they got us." We don't know if it was Diaz's better sense to take down the tweet/photo or it was a the mighty UFC public relations machine yelling at him to put it down, but it's no longer posted anywhere … other than this site and every other MMA website on the planet.
Our good buddy Damon Martin at BR ended up talking to the police Sergent overseeing the stopping of Diaz's vehicle. Diaz was a passenger, and the driver (someone with outstanding warrants) was driving on the wrong side of the road (like they were in Europe or something). Additionally, another passenger had concentrated cannabis in their possession. Both the driver and cannabis-possessing passenger were detained.
Would somebody just give Johny Hendricks his title shot already?!
If you missed UFC 158, you didn't catch welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre dominating Nick Diaz for the better part of five rounds. You then also missed Johny Hendricks further solidifying himself as the No. 1 contender to GSP's crown with a win over Carlos Condit.
Both those things happened, and now there's nothing left but to make GSP vs. Hendricks for some time later this year. Or is there?
Internet chatter showed that many people are still talking about a GSP-Anderson Silva super-match, more so it seems than they did when St-Pierre beat up Condit.
Not sure if anyone's noticed lately, but Hendricks has taken out a bunch of top 170-pounders in the last few fights. By reasonable logic, he should get the next shot (duh). But in a world where we have Chael Sonnen earning a fight with Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title by talking his way into it, anything's possible. Hooray sports entertainment!

10 Responses to "Weekend MMA Round-Up: Rousey to coach TUF, Diaz stopped by cops, Hendricks wants GSP"
The fight I saw, had condit winning rounds 1 & 3. Take downs that don't do anything don't count as take downs!
yes they do
If you get taken down and spring back up then that doesn't count as a take down in my eyes, considering the takedown artist probably fears the jiu jitsu fighters bottom game. If you get taken down and the person actually does something like when GSP fought condit, then its a diff story
Condit won… its bullshit
Silva will beat GSP he's just to big Silva also fights at 205 LH. Silva will lose to Jones because Jones is just to big for him Jones wants to fight Heavyweight… Jones will lose to the top guys in the HW division… Let GSP fight Johny Hendricks… Johny Hendricks will win in a Knock Out 1st round…
They way I saw it:
First round was a war, gave it to Hendrix for heavier shots.
Second round although Hendrix had the takedowns Condit did more damage from his back.
Third round was all the way Condit, Hendrix was scoring take downs only to scape Contits punches after the take down he had to get right back up because Condit was getting the best of him from his back…
The way I see it was Condit at least by split decision. Although I do rather see GSP vs Hendrix next, I try to picture who's taking who's down, I guess it will be a stand-up, if Hendrix can get his hands on GSP on the first rounds he wins and if it goes to distance GSP wins.
Also you forgot to mention Hendricks was dropped in the first by condit! I think thats prettty huge. Yeah Hendricks throws bombs, but Condit did a good job of covering up and sticking and moving.
Condits my boy – dont care for Hendrix
condit won! hendricks like sonnen talked his way to the title.

The Acer Aspire V7 is a portable 15.6 inch laptop and also a comfortable desktop replacement. It features a great battery life and looks very elegant. With a weight of 2 kg and a height of 24mm, it is remarkably thin. Nevertheless it looks spacious and not at all cramped for good productivity. The well built chassis is easily able to house a full-sized, backlit keyboard with a number pad. Its touch screen supports 10-point inputs. The screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels is disappointing, but the screen size is perfect for Windows 8 touch use.
The Aspire V7 features the fourth generation Intel Core i7-4500U CPU with a clock rate of 1.8GHz. The lack of a discrete graphics continues the disappointing resolution. So, the device is suitable for casual gamers. Another disadvantage is, that it only features a single USB 3.0 port. But, the sound system is a delight, with the rare ability to produce a decent amount of bass. The location of the speakers on the underside of the laptop is a little unfortunate. Soft surface will muffle the audio. Overall, this machine is a well built and good looking portable or desktop replacement for less intensive tasks with a great battery life. For all that it sets out to be, it definitely beats the competition.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GT 700M series. Based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28nm process.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.0 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

The slugs were combined with a ring set from Total Seal and a precision balance job from the boys at L&R Automotive. The combination has already exceeded 1,000 hp in boosted form, so we knew it was plenty stout and more than sufficient for our head test. The short-block was assembled first with the Comp cathedral-port cam (and new hydraulic roller lifters), FAST LSXr intake and matching 102mm throttle body. FAST also supplied the fuel rail and 75-pound injectors for our test along with an XFI engine management system. Additional components used on the motor included a complete Moroso oiling system, Fel Pro MLS head gaskets, and American Racing 1-7/8-inch headers. Equipped as such, the cathedral-port heads and cam combo pumped out 631 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque, with torque production exceeding 550 lb-ft from 4,200 rpm to 5,800 rpm.
Having dialed in the combination, we proceeded to swap out the cam. After installation of the rectangular-port cam, the peak power numbers improved slightly to 639 hp and 578 lb-ft. The increased exhaust duration offered by the rectangular-port cam (255 degrees versus 247 degrees) improved power production slightly from 5,500 rpm on up, but the improvements in top-end power came with a penalty. The increased exhaust duration had a negative effect on low-speed power, as power was down from 3,000 rpm to 4,700 rpm, the greatest difference of 20 lb-ft coming at 3,100 rpm. This should not come as a huge surprise, as increased duration usually follows this trend. Increased duration is done to increase the effective engine speed. The additional exhaust duration also decreased idle vacuum slightly compared to the cathedral-port cam, so low-speed drivability might also suffer (we never loaded the motor below 3,000 rpm).
Though the dyno test was run in reverse order, we will provide the data for the rectangular-port heads first with the cathedral-port cam. Swapping over to the Mast LS3 heads required a change in intake manifold as well. Once again we relied on a FAST LS3 LSXr intake and 102mm throttle body along with the 75-pound injectors, rails and XFI management. Given the difference in airflow, we were naturally excited about replacing the cathedral-port heads with the rectangular-port heads. Run with the Mast CNC LS3 heads and Comp cathedral-port cam, the 408 stroker produced 634 hp and 577 lb-ft of torque, meaning a difference of just 3 hp and 2 lb-ft measured peak to peak. In reality, the cathedral-port heads were within 1-2 hp at the peak, but offered as much as 20 additional lb-ft below 4,000 rpm. We suspected that the rectangular-port heads were not optimized with the cathedral-port cam, but we were still surprised to see such a small difference in power given the extra airflow offered by the LS3 heads.
The final test run was to combine the rectangular-port cam with the Mast LS3 heads. The combination produced the highest peak power numbers of the day (640 hp and 680 lb-ft), but only by 1 hp and 2 lb-ft over the cathedral-port head and rectangular-port cam combo. The LS3 heads did respond better to the installation of the rectangular-port cam. The cam improved power from 5,300 rpm on up, with only a slight loss in power below 3,300 rpm. Obviously there is something to increasing efficiency of the exhaust port with increased duration. Though we were happy with the results of the cam test, we were still surprised that the LS3 heads offered little or no power over their cathedral-port counterparts. Given the disparity in airflow, we expected to see 10-15 hp, but the results of this head-to-head shootout just go to show that airflow isn't everything. It also showed that you can't go wrong with either set of Mast heads on your performance LS combination.
Coefficient of DischargeThough this may be a tad on the technical side, it might well help explain why the cathedral-port heads did so well against the rectangular-port heads despite the difference in flow. The coefficient of discharge is essentially a measurement of the efficiency of the port (actually the curtain area of the valve). The curtain area of the valve is easy to visualize. Imagine dropping a circular shower curtain down from the outside diameter of the intake valve. The length of the shower curtain would be determined by the maximum valve lift, but (more importantly), the curtain area can be calculated at every valve lift where airflow is measured (usually .100-.700-inch lift). Much like average airflow through the head port, we can take the average coefficient of discharge by combining the averages for all the lift values and then dividing by the number of lift points. The formula for coefficient of discharge is as follows: C/D=airflow/curtain area. Curtain area=valve diameter x Pi x Lift. Applying the formula to our heads, we see that though the LS3 heads offer a better coefficient of discharge at the maximum lift of .700, the cathedral-port head offered not only a superior coefficient of discharge from .100-.400 lift, but a better average coefficient of lift from .100-.600 lift. Could it be that the efficiency of the port overcame the absolute flow of LS3 heads?

Legalizing marijuana: Washington state's ongoing journey
Washington state, one of the first state's to legalize marijuana, released today preliminary draft regulations for the sale of marijuana. Voters last November made Washington and Colorado the first states to legalize the sale of taxed marijuana to adults over 21 at state-licensed stores. Washington's Liquor Control Board spent nearly the past eight months developing rules for the industry. The state's ongoing journey highlighted in photos:

Rated 5 out of 5Â by guitarjudy great weekend top casual and comfortable,very unique, I received lots of compliments. I might even try putting in lacy ties for a romantic look. I love this top. 10.10.2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by elemi FALSE ADVERTISING!!! - Nothing "Organic" About It. Soooo disappointed in you Free People!!! :-( I was so excited when I saw what I thought was free people finally using health conscious, sustainable & environmentally responsible fabrics. I bought the blue & planned on getting one in each color for myself & my sister as well. This piece is advertised here as being "100% Organic Cotton." but the tag states simply "100% cotton, made in china." Free People WHAT GIVES!? 9.11.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mydogisruby LOVE THIS! I ordered this in the black, and may spring for the blue but it's a bit pricey so not sure. I love that it is a generally basic top, but the lacing detail adds a bit of edge & interest. I also like the weight/feel of the fabric. Two thumbs up on this one & I definitely recommend it. Based on the measurements posted, I sized up to a Medium, but probably could have pulled off the Small (5' 0", 34B, 115 lb). 8.3.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by evay Cute top but the strings look weird from the front I bought the black one and thought it was cute! The only thing I didn't like (as some customers have also mentioned) is how the strings hang awkwardly from your armpits. It looks fine from the back but it looks weird from the front. To solve this issue, I just tucked the ends inside my shirt and voila! 3.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by clarefal score! THis top in the bluish purpleish color is perfect, but any color would be. It is different and sexy and I cant say enough. So many compliments. Have to say, I did trim the laces that hung, and it only made it better. I got the xs, perfect fit for me.. I am between a real 2 & 4 depending on store. 12.30.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Getbusy My new favorite I'm 5'2", 120 lb, bust 33", waist 26" and I bought size S. It fit perfectly. Great both for layering and on its own. The fabric is very soft and pleasant to the skin. The cut is quite flattering and the lacing detail looks pretty interesting. A bit expensive, but I don't regret this purchase:) 10.14.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mariais Cozy and Cute I purchased this top in a small in the blue color. The color is exactly as pictured. I am 5'7", 120lb, 32D, and 25" waist... the small fits great, with just enough room to comfortably layer underneath the top. My only qualm is that you can see the laces hanging down in between my arms and sides from the front and I wish they were solely visible from the back... I'm thinking I will just unlace it a few notches and retie it at a slightly higher spot to solve that problem, though. 9.5.2011
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Sully1 Other reviewer said to RELACE! Tried this style top on at the store, and to avoid the hairy look, relace like the other reviewer mentioned...the bow at the top would look so much better...otherwise, from behind, I thought it looked like I hadn't shaved...FOR YEARS! lol 3.27.2012

Men's Tennis Closes out Regular Season With 4-0 Win
April 14, 2013
MEMPHIS - - The University of Memphis men's tennis team (11-7) had to battle wind and a tenacious South Alabama (10-13) men's tennis team in a 4-0 non-conference victory to close out the regular season, Sunday, at The Racquet Club of Memphis.
"I'm proud of the team for this win today," Head Coach Paul Goebel said. "It would have been really easy with all this wind and with the lineup changes to not come out here and fight for this match, but the guys did a great job."
The Tigers were without junior Johnny Grimal, who was resting a sore ankle, and that meant Goebel had to juggle both his doubles and singles lineups. The Tigers flip-flopped the top two doubles teams from Friday's match, playing Connor Glennon and Cedric De Zutter at No. 1. The No. 59 ranked tandem of David O'Hare and Joe Salisbury slid down to No. 2, where they picked up the first match of the day, 8-3. The new No. 3 tandem was Lukas Vrnak, a regular at the three spot in the last handful of matches, teamed with junior David O'Leary. The new duo took a couple of points to get rolling, but sealed the doubles point in the Tigers' favor with an 8-4 win.
The new lineup in singles meant moving O'Hare up from six to four singles, allowing O'Leary to remain at five and inserting De Zutter into the singles lineup for the first time since the non-conference match versus Southern Illinois back on Feb. 8th.
O'Leary was not hurt by playing doubles before his singles match. He jumped out to a quick 6-2 first set win, and was the first Tiger done in singles, with a 6-1 win in the second set at No. 2 to push the team score to 2-0.
Glennon also made quick work of his first set at No. 1, winning 6-1, then prevailed against Alex Bernard, 6-3, in the second set to push the team score to 3-0.
The match slowed down there. With Memphis up 3-0, the Tigers were down a set at No. 2, 4 and 6, while Vrnak was in a contentious match at No. 3. Vrnak was down 4-1 in the first set when a line call got him fired up and he ripped off five straight points to take the first set, 6-4. Those two opponents in that number three set then engaged in long baseline rallies, with Vrnak eventually prevailing, 6-3 in the second set to seal the match and mark an end to the Tigers' regular season schedule.
Memphis will now prepare to host the C-USA Men's Tennis Championship, beginning Thursday at MUS. The Racquet Club of Memphis will serve as the team's back-up location in case of rain. Memphis finished as the runners-up in the last year's C-USA Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Seedings for the C-USA tournament will be announced after the updated ITA rankings are released on Tuesday.
No. 36 Memphis 4, South Alabama 0

'Glee': Jenna Ushkowitz talks Tina, the stutter, Artie... and Puck
Was I the only one pleased to find out Tina's stutter was fake?
Up until that reveal, I just kept thinking, wow, Jenna Ushkowitz is really bad at pretending to talk funny.
Turns out she's actually just great at pretending to pretend to talk funny!
In the clip below, KTV correspondent Marisa Roffman gets the "Glee" girl's take on what's up with Tina, if Artie will ever forgive her and more.

I know the all too common beef of "no pro kit vs wear pro kit" so I'm not going to get into that. Personally, I like wearing pro kits on rec rides so I picked up a favorite. This Saxo Bank Tinkoff Bank Team Pro Team SS Jersey is great, it fits well and offers deep rear pockets for carrying gear. In summer weather, this jersey has performed well and never left me feeling uncomfortable. As for sizing, it's the typical "runs small" situation so take that in mind. I'm 6 foot tall, 170 pounds and needed a XL to fit me properly. This is a great piece of kit!

The Master of Science in Analytics (MSAN) program at the University of San Francisco is an innovative and challenging training program for developing future analytics professionals. The MSAN Program invites you to find out more about how your organization might benefit working with a group of highly motivated and committed students from this exciting graduate program.
The program seek clients interested in working with one or more teams of students on an Analytics Practicum project. These projects are centered on creating business value from data and extend over several months.
As a central part of our 12-month curriculum, USF's MSAN program provides training in the leadership, teamwork, communication, professionalism and project execution skills that are vital for analysts and data scientists to be effective in the business world. We teach our students these skills through lectures, readings, workshops, written assignments, and simulations.
But there is simply no substitute for experience. Throughout the program, our student teams work on a real project with real (and usually messy) data from a client organization. Our faculty also manages and mentors the students to ensure client success.
In short, these "Practicum Projects" give our students invaluable first-hand experience as analytics professionals, while providing clients with tangible benefits from their hard work, knowledge and discoveries.
The MSAN program demands a great deal from its students, including a strong commitment to client success. In addition, we work very hard to make sure clients are committed to the success of their Practicum project. While there are no hard and fast rules, from our experience we believe the most successful projects:
The MSAN program is now in its second year and we are pleased to report many successful and ongoing relationships with Paypal, Thomson Reuters, SurveyMonkey, Cisco, Mozilla and others.
William Goldstein ('13) and Justin Battles ('13) worked with Mozilla to determine the significance of crash signatures. Using map-reduce to explore over 500GB of user crash reports, they were able to build an arrival rate model to use over 400k incoming crash signatures and extract trend lines. Not only were they able to provide guidance on the possibilities for crash signature analysis using large volumes of data but they went one step further and developed a dash-board to alert quality assurance team members of potential problems.
Pete Merkouris ('13) and Rachel Philips ('13) worked with Thomson Reuters to study the effect of revisions to company websites and the stock returns. They were able to apply statistical regression models and graphical techniques to search for signals in the stock returns based on revisions of the webpage.
Bingkun Li ('13) and Meenu Kamalakshan ('13) worked with Cisco to study customer data and identify how to effectively spend their advertising budget. They were able to identify profitable customer segments using clustering and make a recommendation on which segments to target.
Barbara Evangelista ('13), Funmi Fapohunda ('13) and Oscar Hendrick ('13) worked with Paypal to analyze the conversion, engagement and churn of mobile app users for the purpose of informing marketing strategy and app improvement. They applied a range of statistical techniques to study the behavior of segmented groups and their work led to the identification of trends.
Tak Wong ('13) and Spence Aiello ('13) worked with Survey Monkey to analyze the customer conversions. They extracted over half a million records to study the conversion rates of users from basic to paid accounts using SQL & R, and developed regression models and applied chi-square tests to predict an increase in conversion. This result was used to target the sending of impressions to basic account users.
Students work from 10 to 15 hours a week for a company throughout their program (actually, 10 of their 12 months). Students can work as paid interns on your payroll or via a mutual NDA and data analysis agreement between your company and USF. A faculty member on our side typically acts as project lead with the students doing the work. We need someone in the client company that acts as a champion of the project, providing answers to questions, data, and so on. We usually work on a granularity of one semester but students have often continued with the same company through multiple semesters.
The first step is to discuss possible projects from your organization and how they might fit with the goals of the MSAN program. Professors Dixon and Intrevado can provide additional information and answer any questions:

Analytics Practicum Co-Director

one of the world's oldest surviving place names, from a Semitic root nahal "river." Unnamed in Old Testament, it is always merely "the river" (Hebrew yeor).
dark; blue, not found in Scripture, but frequently referred to in the Old Testament under the name of Sihor, i.e., "the black stream" (Isa. 23:3; Jer. 2:18) or simply "the river" (Gen. 41:1; Ex. 1:22, etc.) and the "flood of Egypt" (Amos 8:8). It consists of two rivers, the White Nile, which takes its rise in the Victoria Nyanza, and the Blue Nile, which rises in the Abyssinian Mountains. These unite at the town of Khartoum, whence it pursues its course for 1,800 miles, and falls into the Mediterranean through its two branches, into which it is divided a few miles north of Cairo, the Rosetta and the Damietta branch.

Does the Nike fuel bank track activity earned while using a rowing machine?
- Asked by Pamela W from Kathyrn
Nike+ FuelBand
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
I am wondering the same thing. I have read a few reviews and it seems that it does not effectively track the 'Fuel'. I am a rower and I feel that this product would be a great way of tracking all of my training. I do a mix of erging and on water training, but I want to know if the data that is being collected is accurate. Otherwise, I don't see the point in spending $150.00 on a bracelet that doesn't do what I want.

I don't spend a ton of time dwelling on Taylor Swift's private life, but since her well publicized break up with Jake Gyllenhaal I have given her more than the usual amount of thought time.
I don't know what happened between the two of them. I don't need or want to know. Who among us girls doesn't have a few broken heart tales we would rather not talk about?
I raise my hand.
One of these days Taylor is going to fall in love and it's going to stick. She is going to get married and have babies. She is going to look back on the days of her "love life" in her teens and twenties and laugh. It was serious then, but looking back on it now, I just smile at how I wish I knew then what I know now. I wouldn't have given any of that a second thought.
Maybe Taylor will write a song about that some day.
In the meantime, let's just enjoy the video to Taylor's new song, Back To December. This is for all girl's who romanticize about every lost love.
