Adobe Illustrator can be used to accomplish many different design tasks, from illustration to app development. This course demonstrates core concepts and techniques that can be applied to any workflow—for print, the web, or building assets that will find their way into other applications. Author Justin Seeley explains the elements that make up vector graphics (paths, strokes, and fills) while showing how to use each of the drawing tools, and demonstrates how to combine and clean up paths and organize them into groups and layers. The course also covers text editing, working with color, effects, and much more.
Once you've got a tracing object inside of Adobe Illustrator, you're ready to gain full control over that object, and expand it out, so that the pixel-based image now becomes a set of vector paths. Up until this point, you have created a vector object, and you can scale this thing up or down. The problem with that is, every time you resize either up or down, Illustrator has to go through and re-render this image, and any time you resize, it's going to affect the way the object renders. If you're happy with the tracing as it exists right now, you could expand this out, and turn these into paths, which then make sure that it's always going to look the same.
So exactly what happens when you expand out the appearance of a tracing object? Well, you break the link between this object, and the Image Trace panel, meaning you can no longer go back in and adjust the presets, you can't adjust the fitting; you can't adjust any of that stuff. So in this case, I want to break the link here, because I'm pretty happy with the results of this, and I want to be able to edit these paths individually, or even recolor this car. So in order to do that, I need to expand it out. There are a couple of ways you can expand this out. You can go to the Object menu, you can go down to Expand, and do it. Or, you can simply select the object on screen, and hit the Expand button up in the control panel.
This is probably the easiest way to convert your tracing object in the paths. When I click on it, my photo instantly becomes a bunch of vector paths. I can then scale it, and move it anywhere I want, with no render time. Now, one of the bad things about the new Image Trace panel is the fact that they eliminated an option which used to exist in the Live Trace panel that I found extremely useful. They used to have an option inside of that panel that allowed you to export out the swatches from your tracing object to your swatches panel.
Unfortunately, in CS6, that option has been removed, so therefore, I actually have to go into this object now, and identify each individual swatch. There are only five in this particular one, but it's still five that I have to identify, whereas in the old version of Illustrator, I could have just exported those swatches to my Swatches panel, and then I could have edited those, and I could have instantly changed the color of the car. In this case, I have to go in, and I have to select individual pieces of the car, and manually recolor it, which can be sort of pain, but it's the only option we have.
With this expanded tracing object, I can then double-click to go in the Isolation mode. Once I'm in Isolation Mode, I then have the ability to hover over each individual piece, and I can actually select different paths inside of this artwork. I also have the ability to select the white background that goes around it, because right now, if I stuck something behind it, there'd be a big white block behind this image. I can then hit the Backspace or Delete key, and remove that. So now if I double-click to exit Isolation mode, I can actually stick a background behind this thing.
Let's grab a rectangle, and I'll just draw out a box, and I'll target the Fill, and let's fill it with something like black. I'll then take my Selection tool, right-click, choose Arrange, and say Send to Back. Once I send it to back, you can see, even though it's not the cleanest, I still have the car silhouetted on this background. This is where changing the colors is going to come into play. You'll still need to go in here and change the color, so that it looks exactly like you wanted to.
In this case, this sketch works best on a white background, because we've got all these little white gaps in here, and the gray just makes it look like a hand-drawn sketch, and that's pretty much the look I was going for in the first place. But I now have the ability to scale, rotate, and manipulate this image, free of the Image Trace panel, without any render time, and that's the whole purpose to expanding your objects.

According to the Marfan Foundation, Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue that holds together all of the body's cells, organs and tissue. It also plays an important role in helping the body grow and develop properly. Because connective tissue is found throughout the body, Marfan syndrome can affect many different parts of the body.
Features of the disorder are most often found in the heart, blood vessels, bones, joints, and eyes. Some Marfan features -- for example, aortic enlargement (expansion of the main blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body) -- can be life-threatening. The lungs, skin and nervous system may also be affected. Marfan syndrome does not affect intelligence.

SALEM, Ore., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Oregon Rehabilitation Association (ORA), http://www.oregonrehabilitation.org, wants to shine the spotlight on Oregon's disabled workers this October with National Disability Employment Awareness Month. In 1945, Congress designated the first week of each October to help increase the public's awareness of American workers with disabilities. Congress expanded the week to the entire month of October in 1988.
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of passage of Oregon's "Products of Disabled Individuals Law," which promotes the employment of individuals with disabilities. The law establishes a process so that certain agencies serving the disabled qualify for contracts with public agencies for goods or services. The law benefits all involved -- the contracts employ more than 4,000 people with disabilities across the state who are able to work at meaningful jobs, agencies get the goods and services they need, and taxpayers spend less on support for the disabled.
Tim Kral, director of the ORA, said, "People who have disabilities are a valued and important part of the workforce. They contribute to our communities and we want to pay tribute to them. We also want to commend our business partners who hire and help accommodate individuals with disabilities."
Kral added that the law establishing the Products of Disabled Individuals has been crucial in providing employment opportunities for workers with disabilities. "Before passage of the law, the majority of these individuals were unemployed, and living in state-supported facilities such as Fairview," he said. "This law provides more jobs for people with pronounced disabilities than any of Oregon's public programs."

10 Songs Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today (Jan. 20), we remember the life and legacy of late civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose contributions to the social and political sphere of the United States are innumerable. And over the years, the global musical sphere has become filled with songs inspired by or dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Billboard staff has picked our 10 favorites among those songs, from the sobriety of U2's "MLK" to the unfettered optimism of Springsteen's "We Shall Overcome."
Nelson Mandela: 10 Musical Tributes
Pride In The Name Of Love
If listeners have any doubt that Martin Luther King Jr. is the subject of "Pride (In the Name of Love)," Bono's lyrics three minutes in drive the point home: "Early morning, April 4/Shot rings out in the Memphis sky/Free at last, they took your life/They could not take your pride." However, history buffs will note that the song, which was the lead single off U2's 1984 album "The Unforgettable Fire," contains a factual error -- MLK's assassination took place in the early evening, rather than the early morning. But that didn't matter to music fans -- the Edge's guitar jangle at the beginning of "Pride (In the Name of Love)" is one of the most recognizable riffs of the era.
By The Time I Get To Arizona
Public Enemy (1991)
"By The Time I Get To Arizona" was written by Public Enemy's Chuck D in 1991 as a direct reply to Arizona officials, including John McCain and Fife Symington, for rejecting the federal holiday celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Just last year, the song's sentiments resurfaced when the same state's governor, Jan Brewer, decided to sign into law the Arizona immigration bill, which gave police the power to detain people they suspect to be undocumented, proving that the same politics written about in "By The Time I Get To Arizona" are alive and well in Arizona today.
Happy Birthday
Stevie Wonder (1981)
Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" track was written in 1981 by the pianist/social activist as part of the campaign to have the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. become a national holiday. The song's lyrics, above keyboard synthesizers, find Wonder questioning why anyone would oppose to commemorating King's legacy by setting aside a day for him. "I just never understood, how a man who died for good/could not have a day that would be set aside for his recognition," he sings. Preach, Stevie!
We Shall Overcome
Bruce Springsteen (2006)
The Boss' 2006 " Seeger Sessions" disc featured this protest tune as its centerpiece. "We Shall Overcome" could conceivably be applied to most instances of widespread oppression, but its origins lie within the U.S. civil rights movement in the middle of the century. The song soars, gaining momentum (and instruments) until the tune is brimming with the encouraging spirit of MLK's hopeful mantra.
One Vision
Queen (1985)
"Look what they've done to my dream," sings Freddie Mercury over a Stones-esque guitar lick in this 1985 single off "A Kind of Magic." Mercury sounds altogether vibrant, singing positive verses of a hope for unity against vivacious instrumentation. Oh, and those masked vocals at the beginning of the tune? "God works in mysterious ways... mysterious ways..." Indeed, Queen, indeed.

Cloud of Smoke Part 2
Taken from the Book "The Voices Within Us" by Jim Stewart
A couple of nights after the angels gave me a waqrning for Maria, this happened.
I was sitting at home when I got a call from Maria. She said she was scared. I asked her what was wrong. She said, "There is a black cloud hanging over my bed." I told her that I would come over to investigate.
I tried to reach a priest friend of mine, but he was out of town. So I called another friend of mine, Roy Butler, to see if he could go with me. If it was satan, I knew i would need all the help I could get. As I waited for Roy to come over, I spoke to my angels. I asked them what I should do. They told me to recite John 3:16 and Psalms 23. They told me I needed to reconfirm my faith and trust. They told me that when I got to the house I needed to recite these same verses, over and over while walking around the outside of the house. They then gave me a prayer to recite. Here is that prayer.
Dear Lord, We humbly ask you for forgiveness of our sins. Guide and protect us from satan's grasp.We ask for your help, along with Michael the Archangel in defeating satan.
After repeating this prayer, everyone had to reaffirm their faith and trust before we could go into the house. We were also to recite the 23 Psalm and sprinkle Holy Water as we walked around the perimeter of the house. We also needed to tell this entity that it needed to leave and that it was not welcomed.We started walking around te house like the angels instructed me to do. When we reached a certain area of the house, Maria and Roy started getting chills and goosebumps. This reaction told me where I could find this manifestation in the house. After making a complete circle around the house, we then recited the prayer the angels gave me. Then we entered the house. As I sprinkled the Holy Water and recited the 23 Psalm, I could feel the entity move away from me. We did this throughout the entire house before we got to Maria's bedroom. As I opened the bedroom door, I could not beleive my eyes. There it was..this black cloud three feet thick and fourteen feet wide.
I knew that I needed to be prepared to go into this room. The entity would not let me in at first, but I persisted. I told Maria and Roy to stay in the hall and close the door behind me. I told them that I did not know what to expect, but I was not scared. I told them God was on my side. I said a prayer and summoned help from Michael the Archangel with his warrior angels. I asked for God's protection. I aske Jesus to forgive me of all mt sins and to give me strength and wisedom. I started reciting the 23 Psalm and sprinkled Holy Water at the door, the I walked in. I told the entity that I was there to ask it to leave and that I was not going to leave until it did. Then I walked straight at it and started to sprinkle Holy Water on it when it picked me up and hurled me through the closed door. This knocked the door off of it's hinges. I was laying on top of the door which was laying on the floor. I got to my feet and Roy and Maria asked me what happened?. I told them that it had kicked my ass. I told them that I needed to go back into the room. They begged and pleaded with me not to go back into the room. I told them that I was not scared, but that I was angry at this entity. I told them that I was going to go back into the room and kick it's butt. I again asked Roy and Maria to be strong in faith. I told them that if their faith was not strong that they needed to get out of the house. ( The presence of a person with little or no faith during this procedure could be fatal to the person performing this ritual.) The assured me of their faith. Again, I went straight for it and started sprinkling Holy Water on it. Again it picked me up and tossed me through the wall. There I was, I had busted out the sheetrock and busted a couple of two by four studs. One of the studs was sticking me in the back and I was bleeding profusely.
Now Maria and Roy were really worried. They told me that I could not go back into the room. I asked them if they wanted to go into the room and confront this entity, themselves. They said that it was too dangerous. I told them again that if they lacked faith, they needed to get out of the house. I told them that their weakness in faith was killing me. I escorted them outside the house. They rushed aoud the outside of the house to try and look through the windows to that bedroom. I started thinking to myself, I am approaching this entity the wrong way. With Roy and Maria now out of the picture, I could concentrate on my own faith and use all my enrgy to protect me, instead of protecting the three of us. I took a small break and asked God for more wisedom. I the went into the room for the third time. This time I started walking aound the circumfrance of the entity and talking to it. I was telling it that I was not scared of this powerful, coward of an entity. Then I started reciting John 3:16. I gradually went into reiting the 23rd Psalm. I then started sprinkling the Holy Water on it as I continued to walk around the circumfrance of the entity. Then all of sudden, the entity started spinning like an upside down tornado, getting faster and faster. Then the entity went right through the ceiling and out of the house. I colapsed on the floor. Then room and house quickly returned to normal.
Maria and Roy asked, "What happened? Is it gone? What was It? All I knew, was that I was emotionally spent, physically hurting (from being tossed around), sweating heavily and I had lost a lot of weight. I went around the house, inside and out, sprinkling Holy Water and reciting the 23 Psalm. I thanked God, Jesus and Michael the Archangel for their protection. Then I looked at Maria and Roy ands said, "Yes, this was satan! Yes, He is gone for now! He has been evicted!"
Was I scared? Yes, but it was a different type of fear. Deep with my thoughts was, "Yeah, Though I walk through the valley of death. I will fear no evil.For thou art with me." I knew what had happened. I just did not know why. I knew who I was fighting. I also knew that by faith and trust, God, Jesus and Michael the Archangel protected me. Even as I was recording the accounts of that night, I got chills.
A few night later, while I was asleep, I had an oput-of-body experience. I found myself floating over Maria's house. I saw Maria, Roy and myself on the back porch. Then I heard a loud explosion and through the roof came satan. Out of this large hole in the roof flowed a stream of demons, like a fast flowing river. Satan was holding on to the roof with one hand and pointin g at me with the other. He was cursing at me in many tongues. As fast fast as he would speak, his words were being translated to me. He had the ugliest look I have ever seen. His face was black and red. The wrinkles were very pronounced. Flames flowed from his tongue. Then satan pointed his finger at me and said, "I will repay you the rest of your life for what you have done!" I started praying in the name of Jesus Christ. Satan soon vanished. I woke up and I was back in my bed. I was soaking wet and exhausted. I said a prayer and thanked God for his protection. The angels then said, "Jim, Be strong, brave and fear no evil."
I will never forget that black cloud. Better yet, I will never forget the look on satan's face or the words he spoke to me. Since this encounter, I have endured great hardship and pain. Even though I was able to evict satan that night, I know that he will be back and his army of demons will increase in number. I stay in prayer.
After talking with a few religious leaders from all faiths, they confirmed to me that it was an exorcism. They also confirmed that this was a satanic attack on me. If the exorcism had not taken place that night, it could have possessed more that just the house. It could have possessed Maria. It could really have been worse, I coud have lost my life, but I was prepared for whatever I needed to do.
Thank you God, Jesus, and Michael the Archangel, for your protection that night.
I have been in on many exorcisms. Some as an observer others as the exorcist. As an observer I knew that my faith was just as important as the exorcist's faith was. That if I did not have strong faith, I could be putting us all at risk.
I am remined by this disclaimer, "Kids don't try this at home."

August 20, 2013
For more than two-and-a-half years the Essroc cement company has been unable to bring their product into the port of Rochester in bulk, because a buildup of river sediment prevented their cargo ship from docking.
That changed on Monday with the return of the Stephen B. Roman cargo freighter. It's arrival marked the reopening of the channel, funded by a $1.5 million public-private partnership.
Stephen Murch of Essroc says it's important for businesses across the upstate region, to keep the waterways open.
"The marine mode of transportation is the most cost effective mode, and to be able to bring cement in in bulk as we do here, in large amounts, keeps the cost a very competitive cost for cement for all the projects that happen within Rochester and the region as well."
Under the partnership with the City of Rochester and the Army Corp of Engineers, 200,000 cubic yards of sediment was dredged from the Genesee River. That's equivalent to roughly 10,000 truckloads.

IBM Connections Desktop Plug-Ins (which will be available for download in a couple of days) a new Sync folder will be created under Favorites.
There you can save files directly to IBM Connections and use Connections as your personal backup drive where everything is sync'ed automatically (including of course edits that you make offline).
Another added benefit and differentiator is that right from within your desktop you can right click on a file and act upon it. In other words, you can comment on it, tag it, like it, lock it (to prevent others from editing while you are offline) and even share it with other colleagues without ever having to open a browser. By default, all files are marked as private and only you have access to them. From there you can choose to share with individuals, groups, or communities.
On the mobile side, you can use our native apps for Android and iOS and sync files to your favorite mobile device/tablet. On each device you can manually specify which files you want to have available there. For example, you may want some key presentations on your iPhone, while you have documents, spreadsheets and other assets available in your iPad.
Here's a quick 5 minute demo that show the enterprise file sharing and sync capabilities of IBM Connections 5.0.
If you are an on-prem customer, get ready to download the code next week! Stay tuned for other new features in the coming days.

Does your lover, employee or child have an iPhone? Do you have suspicions or concerns about their behavior or safety?

The unique password cracker option let you know when the passcode to the device is changed as well as giving you the exact passwords they use to log into application like Facebook and Skype and most email accounts. And because FlexiSPY has over 150 iPhone spying features — more than any iPhone spy software — it gives you more complete picture of their private lives.

It's the details like this that make FlexiSPY stand out from the crowd. The thought given to making FlexiSPY easy to use can be seen everywhere. For example because our iPhone tracker is so powerful, capturing IM, SMS, call logs, web history, bookmarks, calender, notes, GPS locations, address book, there can be a lot of data — so we provide a convenient Alert Wizard that notifies you of events, such as hot keywords appearing in messages or if the iPhone enters a prohibited area.

A flash pops, an 18-megapixel camera clicks four times, and 10 seconds later, a color or black-and-white print rolls out of the photo booth like a prize from a carnival game. The pair not only takes the print home, but also uploads a digital version to social-media sites with the helpful assistance of onsite attendants. Touchscreen controls on a 22-inch display allow them to alter their photo's color scheme or adjust its size without the intensive labor of building a shrink ray.

Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan?s instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results.

Microscopical Observations
Van Leeuwenhoek's curiosity was insatiable, and he examined everything he could with his microscopes, ranging from samples of about 200 biological species to mineral objects; he even attempted to observe the explosion of gunpowder.
Van Leeuwenhoek gave clearer descriptions of red blood cells than either of his contemporaries Marcello Malpighi and Jan Swammerdam. He first described them in 1674 and estimated their size to be, in modern terminology, 8.5 microns in diameter (the correct value is 7.7 microns). In 1682 he clearly described the nucleus within the red blood cells of fish, and in 1683 he noticed the sedimentation of erythrocytes from a suspension and their lysis upon addition of water. His description of the blood capillaries in the intestine in 1683 was accompanied by comments on a different type of capillary which contained "a white fluid, like milk"; he had discovered the lymphatic capillaries.
In 1677 van Leeuwenhoek examined fresh semen, in which he observed living spermatozoa. His unique observations on microorganisms probably began in 1674, when he examined water from a lake near Delft. He gave the first description of the common green alga Spirogyra but also observed smaller organisms, which were probably free-living protozoa. Dobell believed that van Leeuwenhoek saw Vorticella, Monas, Bodo caudatus, and Colpidium.
Van Leeuwenhoek also discovered parasitic protozoa, describing the flagellate Giardia in a sample of his feces, which also contained bacteria which can be identified as Spirochaeta. In a letter written in 1683 he describes and illustrates five different kinds of bacteria present in his own mouth: these can readily be identified as a motile bacillus, Selenomonas sputigena, a micrococcus, Leptothrix buccalis, and a spirochete. He continued to make observations on microorganisms until 1716, and while studying free-living protozoa, he also discovered other organisms such as Volvox, Hydra, and rotifers.
Van Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microorganisms has tended to overshadow his other work, which has not received full recognition. He was one of the first comparative anatomists, since he often followed a structure in several different species. As a pioneer of microdissection, he succeeded in obtaining results which are remarkable even by modern standards. Between 1680 and 1701 he carried out a series of microdissections, mainly on insects, and one of his most original discoveries was parthenogenesis in aphids. The parent aphids did not contain eggs, but young aphids just like the parent.
An Assessment
Van Leeuwenhoek's insatiable curiosity, coupled with remarkable tenacity and skill, makes him one of the most outstanding scientists of all time. In his own modest way he realized how rare his gifts were and also that other people's motives were not always those of a true student of nature. In a 1715 letter he noted: "Some go to make money out of science, or to get a reputation in the learned world. But in lens-grinding and discovering things hidden from our sight, these count for nought. And I am satisfied too that not one man in a thousand is capable of such study, because it needs much time ... and you must always keep thinking about these things if you are to get any results. And over and above all, most men are not curious to know: nay, some even make no bones about saying, What does it matter whether we know this or not?"
Became Fellow of the Royal Society, 1680.

From Our Editors
After years focused on human health and nutrition while working in the grocery business, Ray Hesano grew frustrated that he couldn?t find similarly wholesome food for his pets. Today, his partner and nephew Mike Palmer fills Premier Pet Supply?s shelves with the same natural and holistic pet food that once eluded him. The store?s ample selection?which has been lauded by Hour Detroit magazine, CityVoters, and Click On Detroit?includes more than 65 varieties of dog food and 75 brands of treats from brands such as Fromm, Zuke?s, and Charlee Bear. Cat food from Natural Balance, Primal Frozen Raw, and dozens more brands imbues felines with the energy to paw, climb, and glare at the store?s array of toys and furniture. Food for other animals, including hamsters, fish, deer and wild birds, keeps every menagerie sated. Premier Pet Supply also houses an extensive wild bird section.
Premier Pet Supply takes care of humans as well, hosting annual customer-appreciation days that treat them to discounts, magic acts, and photo booths. In addition, with help from rescue groups, the store has matched more than 4,000 adoptable dogs and cats with happy new homes.

CEO Compensation
By Jonathan Ehrens
Jamie Dimon has had a tumultuous run as CEO of JPMorgan Chase since the financial meltdown of 2008. But despite government investigations of the bank's practices that led to billions of dollars in settlements, Dimon last year received a $20 million raise. Such compensation packages fuel public debate about income inequality and the regulation of the financial industry.
Our guests: Phillip Phan, professor and vice dean at the Johns Hopkins University's Carey School of Business, and Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of the Value Alliance Company and the Corporate Governance Alliance, and a contributor to CNNMoney.

KILLSPENCER Laptop and Business Bags
KILLSPENCER Laptop and Business Bags
I'm digging the look and utility of these bags from KILLSPENCER, the workshop and label of Spencer Nikosey. The brand began as a personal project of Spencer's, to craft locally sourced, environmentally responsible and waterproof backpacks.
Now the L.A. shop offers up six bag designs in three collections plus accessories, each with high-quality and unexpected additions such as industrial quick release buckles and wall mounts.
My personal favorite: the Historical Reserve iPad case:

How could I forget, two more involving my very favorite old truck...
When your TBI-equipped chevy truck starts cycling between running good and almost stalling in 20-30 second cycles, and you remove the bed to replace the fuel pump, remember to replace the piece of 3/8" diameter 1.5" long rubber hose that goes from the top of the fuel pump to the rest of the fuel line. Because if you don't, and you put it all back together, the truck will drive you nuts trying to figure out why you STILL only have 5 PSI of fuel pressure.
When you get that nice random misfire telling you that you need new plug wires, and you replace them... don't assume you didn't get a brand new set of BAD plug wires from the parts store.
And one a friend has recently experienced - a mid-1990's chevrolet 4.3 V6 DOES have a distributor on it, no matter what your dingbat "mechanic" buddy told you. And when that distributor cap is cracked, no manner of fuel injector cleaning, plug wire replacement, spark plug replacement, or ignition coil replacement will make the truck run right. And lastly, even though the distributor cab has numbers on it for the plug wires, if your buddy is used to working on Mopar V6's, and he attempts to transfer that knowledge to a GM V6, it's going to run like absolute garbage because Chrysler and GM apparently number their cylinders differently.
Also, straightening that kind of mess out, in ten minutes, in the dark after work will elevate one to god-like status in the eyes of some, and they will expect you to know how to fix
So sometimes it's better to act dumb.

Patricia Ann Murray McChesney
Henrietta, Texas – Patricia Ann Murray McChesney passed away on Monday, March 29, 2010 in her sleep and in the peaceful presence of a grand daughter and two volleyball friends.
A memorial service will be held at Community Bible Chapel at 418 East Main Street in Richardson, Texas on Friday, April 2 at 4:00 PM. Viewings are scheduled on Thursday evening at Restland in Richardson from 5-7:00 PM. Burial will follow at Riverside Cemetery, in Byers, Texas on Saturday, April 3 at 11:00 AM.
Pat was born Aug. 30, 1928 in Wichita Falls, Texas to Volney Beck Murray, Sr. and Jewel Elsie Long Murray of Byers, Texas. Pat was raised in Byers, Texas where she excelled in high school sports such as tennis and volleyball. As a girl she loved horseback riding and loved to spend time at her father's dry goods store in Byers. After high school she attended Hardin Simmons University where she met her companion for the next 60 plus years of her life. Pat married Howard Perry McChesney, Jr. of Van Nuys California, in January of 1950. While at HSU she was a rider of one of the famed Six White Horses of Hardin Simmons and traveled the country representing the university and the state by displaying the six flags flown over Texas. Pat was a proud member of this prestigious group of women and also a member of the HSU Cowgirls Organization.
After graduation Pat had a career in teaching elementary school beginning in Winters, Texas and later in Abilene, Texas and finally in Richardson Independent School District at Northwood Hills Elementary. She retired from teaching after 32 years and most of it was spent encouraging girls to take up her life passion…volleyball. Pat played, coached, served on committees and cheered on players of volleyball for the last 65 years of her life. She and Howard were great fans and long time supporters of J. J. Pearce Volleyball. The 2009 Pearce team was a special source of pride making it to the Texas state volleyball championships. She attended the national volleyball tournament every spring and played in the national and international senior Olympic Games, winning team medals at both venues. In 2000 she was the recipient of the Frier award recognizing her long time contribution to the game of volleyball. She served on the United States Volleyball Board of directors for a number of years and chaired the Olympic, National, and All American Selection Committee. Recently, the USA Volleyball - North Texas Region, bestowed the honor of having its Regional championship held in April named in her honor.
Pat was preceded in death by her father and mother, V. B. and Jewel Murray, and her dear, older brother, Beck Murray, Jr. whom she called "Bubba." She was also preceded in death by her younger son, Mart Dayne McChesney of West Hollywood, California.
Pat is survived by her husband, Howard; her son and daughter-in-law, Matt and Susan McChesney of Grand Junction, CO; her five grown granddaughters whom she called her angels, Samantha, Jessica, Melissa, Alicia and Rebecca; and her seven great grandchildren. How these 12 loved their Grammy and she loved them!
The family wishes to thank the entire staff of The Gardens of Richardson and her care team from Hospice Compassus for their loving and special care for "Momma Pat" during her last two months of life on this earth.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honor to the Pat McChesney Volleyball Foundation to continue to support the JJ Pearce HS Volleyball program. Please contact Paul Olschwanger at 214-535-5721 to arrange.

Book flights from Cologne (CGN) to Budapest (BUD)
Flying from Cologne
Flights from Cologne depart from Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN), which is located roughly 15 kilometers from the city center. This airport serves both Cologne and the former capital city of Bonn, and sees nearly ten million passengers a year pass through its gates. It is also the second largest airport for cargo transportation in Germany.
Cologne Bonn Airport Information
Cologne Bonn Airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is the older of the two, while Terminal 2, which is used by airberlin, is a new, modern complex. Both terminals offer plenty of facilities for passengers, including shops, bars, restaurants, tourist information, currency exchange, car hire, ATMs, and baggage services.
Getting to the Airport in Cologne
You can take a bus to Cologne Bonn Airport from the city using bus route 161, or take a train to Cologne Bonn Airport, which has its own station on the high-speed line between Cologne and Frankfurt. A taxi to Cologne Bonn Airport from the city center is also available, with many taxi companies operating in the city offering fixed rates for airport runs. Trains make the journey in approximately 15 minutes, whilst buses take around half an hour.
Arriving in Budapest
Flights to Budapest with airberlin arrive at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. airberlin offers regular flight deals to Budapest, so you can experience the intrigue of the city known to some as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe'.
First Time in Budapest
Budapest is divided into three areas – the Castle district, Buda, and Pest, each of which offer plenty to see and do. The Castle district is a fascinating area, with a large collection of museums and magnificent views of the Danube. Buda and Pest, once individual cities, have since combined to form a city straddling the river, and are connected by a series of bridges, though Pest has the monopoly on exciting nightlife.
Your Budapest
For art lovers, tickets to Budapest make it possible to see some unique galleries like the Kassák Museum in Buda, which honors the life of Lajos Kassák, or the MissionArt Gallery, showcasing some of Hungary's best modern art. For a relaxing experience, try one of the city's famous thermal baths.
Making the Most of Your Budapest Holiday
You can travel to Budapest at any time, but the winter period from December to February can be chilly. There are cheap hotels in Budapest available all year round, though it can be harder to find one during the peak summer season. Arrive in Budapest in comfort and style with airberlin.
