WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2005 Early morning raids today resulted in the detention of five suspected terrorists and the confiscation or destruction of multiple weapons caches, military officials in Iraq reported.
In Samarra, three suspected terrorists were detained during a joint raid based on information gathered from Iraqi civilians. One suspect tested positive for explosive residue at the scene. The men told security personnel they were preparing two vehicles at the scene for use as bombs. Security forces destroyed the two vehicle bombs at the site. Iraqi army and coalition soldiers also seized $1,500, 66,000 Iraqi dinar, two cell phones, two combat knives and several blank identification cards.
In Ubaydi, in northern Iraq, coalition forces raided two suspected al Qaeda foreign fighter safe houses based on intelligence and tips from local citizens.
All foreign fighters had fled the first safe house prior to the coalition forces' arrival. However, weapons and a large amount of small-arms ammunition and bomb-making materials were found, as well as extremist propaganda. Coalition forces set delayed explosive charges, destroying the terrorist materials.
At the second location, coalition forces found a vehicle bomb rigged to detonate on command. Coalition close air support aircraft destroyed it. Coalition forces were leaving the area when they were engaged by terrorists. They returned fire, killing one terrorist. The others fled the scene.
In Baqubah, Task Force Liberty and Iraqi army soldiers on a joint raid detained two people and seized weapons, including a sniper rifle with a scope, a PKC machine gun and several assault rifles. The detainees were taken to a coalition base for questioning. Coalition aircraft flew 50 close air support and armed reconnaissance sorties for Operation Iraqi Freedom on Sept. 16. These missions included support to coalition troops, infrastructure protection, reconstruction activities, and operations to deter and disrupt terrorist activities, U.S. Central Command Air Forces said.
U.S. Air Force F-16s and U.S. Navy F/A-18s provided close air support to coalition troops near Iskandariyah, Muqdadiyah, Baghdad, Jallulah and Tal Afar.
Eleven U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft flew missions in support of operations in Iraq. U.S Air Force and Royal Air Force fighter aircraft also performed in a nontraditional ISR role with their electro-optical and infrared sensors.

And just like that… it's over.
Eva Longoria and her "Ready for Love" beau, Ernesto Arguello, have split, according to People.
"Eva is hard at work producing in Los Angeles, and Ernesto's work is based out of Honduras and Panama, which made their schedules difficult to coordinate," a source told the mag of why the couple parted ways.
"They remain very good friends and adore each other through it all," the source added.
Eva, 38, and Ernesto, 34, had been dating for four months.

Rockwood ABSTRACT: Data processing apparatus and cooperating tickets adapted for use in a transportation system. The ticket has fare data encoded on one side, as well as direction-0ftravel indicia. Reading heads will read the indicia on the ticket irrespective of ticket orientation. Gate circuits responsive to a direction-of-travel indicia-reading head and data-reading heads place the data read into a storage register with the digits in proper significant order, whether the highest or lowest significant digit is read first. The read data is then compared with preset data, and a barrier release signal is provided if the read data is satisfactory.
Z, a i 1 HHHHIIIIIHI1111111111IHH 3/ 111111111HIIIIIHHIHHH1w PATENTED AUG I 0 I97! sum 1 or 2 LMTSQ DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS THEREFOR This invention relates to an electronic binary-coded data reading and processing system and apparatus therefor, and particularly to a system and apparatus for reading and interpreting binary-coded data recorded on a railway ticket or like record medium, and producing control signals in accordance with the significance of the data read from the ticket, to effect operation of a ticket barrier exit or entrance gate.
An object of the present invention is to provide electronic reading and processing apparatus capable of reading and interpreting data recorded on a ticket irrespective of the orientation of the ticket with respect to the reading apparatus.
A more general object of the invention is to provide apparatus capable of reading data from a ticket presented thereto, comparing the read data with preset data and utilizing signals representative of the result of the comparison to control the operation of a ticket barrier.
Thus, according to the invention, there is provided an electronic binary-coded data reading and processing system including reading means adapted to sense data recorded on a ticket presented thereto and to produce output signals indicative thereof, means for producing output signals indicative of preset reference data, coincidence means for effecting a comparison between the read and reference signals and control means responsive to the result of the comparison for effecting control of the operation of a ticket barrier gate.
The invention will be described by way of example only with particular reference to the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a ticket provided with coded data markings; and
FIGS. 2a and 2b are block schematics of the electronic data reading and processing apparatus of the invention for the interpretation of the data recorded on the ticket shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. I, the ticket 1 is preferably printed on one surface only, with binary-coded markings. Along the longitudinal reading heads. 2 of the ticket, the markings are preferably arranged in three groups a, b, c, each group containing nine marks and representing a nine-digit binary number representative of information relating to the origin, destination, value or any other particulars required to identify the ticket and determine whether the ticket is valid or a particular journey made or about the be made. This information may be printed on the ticket in convenient convenient form, eg ordinary colored ink may be used for the data markings, for sensing by suitable photoelectric or light-sensitive means, or the ink may contain magnetic material for detection by magnetic reading heads. Alternatively, luminescent or phosphorescent marking materials may be used, or the binary data may be represented by holes punched in the ticket.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 2,
magnetic pickup heads are used to sense the data magnetically recorded along the longitudinal edge 2 of the ticket, and photocells are used to sense printed marks indicative of data information d represented as a four-digit'binarynumeral at one end 3 of the ticket 1 as shown in FIG. 1. Alternatively, the data information may be recorded and sensed magnetically. Along the edge 4 of the ticket, opposite the data marks a, b, c, a further set of magnetically recorded marks e is provided, the number of marks corresponding in number to those provided along edge 2 and each mark e along edge 4 being located opposite a corresponding mark provided along edge 2. The additional marks e are used as timing or reference marks, whichwhen sensed by the magnetic reading heads, produce timing signals for the timed sequential control of components shown in FIG. 2. In an alternative embodiment, the timing marks e may be offset with respect to the data marks a, b, c, to provide an indication of the orientation of the ticket.
Thus, the provision of timing marks e, results in the generator of timing signals which may be interpreted as clock pulses for the system, insuring proper operation despite variations of speed of the ticket reader.
In addition, two marks f are provided at the end of the ticket adjacent marks d. Marks f are provided to determine the direction of travel of the ticket, further disclosed hereinbelow.
The apparatus schematically depicted in FIG. 2 is arranged to read the data markings recorded on the ticket and interpret the data to ascertain whether the ticket is valid for a journey made or about to be made by a passenger, and to operate an entrance or exit gate at a ticket barrier control point. The actual gate forms no part of the present invention and the invention is designed for use with any type of gate which may be controlled and released electronically.
The ticket is intended to be inserted in a slot by a passenger and moved past the photocells and magnetic reading heads. It is a feature of the present invention, that the orientation of the ticket with respect to the reading heads is immaterial. Either end of the ticket may be presented first to the heads, with the printed side uppermost or reversed.
Four magnetic pickup heads 5, 6, 7, 8 shown in FIG. 2 are provided and the heads are arranged in pairs, such as heads 5 and 7, and heads 6 and 8. Each pair has the heads spaced apart by a distance equal to the width of the ticket, so that while one head, such as head 5, reads the data recorded along edge 2 of the ticket, the other head of the pair, head 7, reads the timing marks along edge 4, and the pair of heads 5 and 7 are spaced apart to allow the ticket to pass therebetween. Only one pair of heads is actually reading data at any instant, according to whether the ticket is presented printed side uppermost or reversed. Similarly, the endwise orientation of the ticket, i.e. whether the end 3 containing the date information d is presented first or not, determines which head of the operable pair of reading heads reads the data along edge 2 and which reads the timing marks along edge 4.
As previously indicated, photocells are used to detect the date information d recorded on the ticket and these photocells are shown in FIG. 2 as 9, 9a, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 12, and 12a. As with the magnetic reading heads 5, 6, 7, 8, the photocells 9, 9a, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 12 and 120 are arranged to accommodate tickets presented to the cells printed side uppermost or reversed. Additional photocells 13, 13a, 14 and 14a are provided to determine the orientation of the ticket, i.e. whether the end containing the date information has been presented to the reading heads, ie the ticket is moving in the direction indicated by arrow Y in FIG. I, or whether the ticket is reversed and is proceeding in direction X. The photocells 13, 13a, 14 and 14a are associated with suitable lamps and operate in conjunction with photocells 9, 9a, 10, 10a, 11, Ila, l2 and 12a to detect the position of the date information d with respect to the photocells to provide an indication whether the end of the ticket containing the date information d has been inserted first or last in the ticket-receiving slot. This information concerning the orientation of the ticket in the form of the presence or absence of a signal from photocells 13, 13a, 14 and 14a, is available before the along edges 2 and 4 of the ticket are sensed by the magnetic reading heads, and this ticket orientation information is utilized to feed the magnetically recorded data into data storage locations in the correct order irrespective of the orientation of the ticket. To achieve this, the orientation information is stored in one or the other of flip-flops 15 or I6.
As shown in FIG. 2, the output signals produced from the photocells 9, 9a, 10, 10a, 11, 11a, 12 and 12a in response to the sensing of the date marks d, are supplied-to a date coincidence unit 17, where the date information is compared with preset date information supplied in the fonn of output signals from the date-setting switch 18. The output signals from photocells 13, 13a, 14 and 14a are applied-to AND gate 21 and to flip-flop 16, whereby orientation information is stored, as the date coincidence read from the ticket is stored in flipflop 15. Flip-flop provides a Date O.K. signal to matrix 52.
The output signals from magnetic pickup heads 5, 6, 7, 8, produced in response to the detection of magnetic data marks recorded along edges 2 and 4 of the ticket are supplied to preamplifier units 23, coupled in pairs, and the outputs from units 23 passed via amplifiers 24, 25 and pulse shaping and delay circuits 26, 27, to lines 28, 29, and also to the inputs of AND gates 30, 31, adapted to receive output signals indicative of ticket orientation information from flip-flop 16. AND gates and 31 also receive signals over lines 34 and from two counters, further disclosed hereinbelow, to provide output signals to OR gate 22, whose output constitutes one of the two inputs to flip-flop 16.
The timing marks recorded along edge 4 of ticket 1 are used to produce timing signals which are applied to AND gates 30, 31, to switch on either of counters 32 or 33 according to the state of flip-flop 16. The X and Y counters each have a 31- count capacity, the 31st count being used for reset purposes, by applying a reset pulse on lines 34, 35 to OR gate 22 to restore flip-flop 16 to its original state after a ticket has been sensed.
Twenty-seven of the outputs of the X and Y counter are connected to AND gate assemblies as shown via matrices. Counts 1 to 9, 11 to 19 and 21 to 29 of X counter 33 are connected to an input of corresponding AND gates 36 of gating units 37, 38, 39. Similarly, counts 1 to 9, 11 to 19 and 21 to 29 of Y counter 32 are connected to an input of corresponding AND gates 40 of gating units 41, 42, 43.
Output signals indicative of magnetic data recorded along edge 2 of the ticket is present on line 28 or line 29 according to the orientation of the ticket and applied to an input of gates 36 or 40 respectively. The single output of each gate 36 or 40 of gating units 37, 43; 38, 42; 39, 41; is connnected to the inputs of storage units 44, 45, 46, respectively, as shown.
In operation, if the ticket is presented to the ticket-receiving slot while travelling in effect in the X direction (FIG. 1) i.e. with the date information d and direction informationftrailing the leading edge of the ticket, flip-flop 16 will reserve its first input signal over line 64, as the output for AND gate 21. A third input signal to gate 21, necessary to set flip-flop 16, is supplied from a ticket-insertion-sensing switch 66 over a flipflop 19, the switch being closed upon presentation of a ticket. However, in the absence of signals from photocells 13, 14, 13a, 1411, the signal from switch 66 through a gate 22 will be the only input to flip-flop 16, resulting in an output signal on line 60. Thus, flip-flop 16 produces a signal at the input of gate 31. When the timing marks recorded along edge 4 are sensed by-the magnetic heads, output signals indicative thereof are applied to the second input of AND gate 31 to switch on X counter 33, which operates to produce output signals sequentially on output lines X to X thereby supplying input signals sequentially to AND gates 36 of units 37, 38, 39. Thus, when ever data signals indicative of data recorded along edge 2 of a ticket, are present on line 28, in coincidence with an output signal from X counter 33, the AND gate 36 corresponding to the sequential count of the X counter will be opened to allow a signal to pass to the corresponding location of storage units 44, 45, 46.
Timing and data signals appearing on line 28 or line 29 open OR gate 20. The output of OR gate 20 serves to reset flip-flop 19, removing one of the input signals to AND gate 21. AND gate 21 is opened, cutting off any signals detected by ticket direction photocells 13. 13a, 14 and 14a. Therefore, after reading of the timing and data marks being. the ticket direction photocells are disabled.
In response to the detection of the timing marks recorded on the ticket, the X counter 33 will switch on the AND gates 36, to store the first nine digits of binary data read from edge 2 of the ticket, in storage unit 44. As the ticket progresses through the apparatus, the second set of nine-digit binary data is read by the magnetic reading heads and data signals indicative thereof are supplied to storage unit 45 in response to the stepping of X counter 33 through counts X n to X Similarly, the third set of nine-digit binary data recorded on the ticket is stored in storage unit 46 during counts X to X of the X counter.
Should the ticket be presented to the ticket-receiving slot in the Y direction (FIG. 1), flip-flop 16, receiving a signal from ticket switch 66 over OR gate 22, but no signal from the photocells, supplies an input signal to AND gate 30, which is opened on the receipt of timing signals applied to the second input thereof, to switch on Y counter 32. 7
With the ticket travelling in the Y direction, the data marks recorded along edge 2 will be read backwards and hence must be placed in the reverse order in storage units 44, 45, 46. Thus, the first significant binary bit of information sensed will be the last digit of block c (FIG. 1), and this information is required to be inserted in the last storage location of storage unit 46. Accordingly, the outputs of the Y counter 32 are connected as indicated to the inputs of gates 40 to ensure that the data read from the ticket is stored in the correct order in the storage units, irrespective of the orientation of the ticket.
The date for which the single trip or return trip ticket is valid is encoded at d on ticket 1. As stated above, insertion of the ticket actuates ticket insert switch 66, thereby resetting flip-flop 15. As the date information passes the upper or lower date-reading photocells 9-12 or 9a12a, the data are read into date coincidence unit 17. The date information signals are compared in the date coincidence unit 17 with signals representing the valid date set on date-setting switch 18. Since the order of the code from side to side would be dependent upon the orientationof the ticket, data are supplied by the output of flip-flop 16 to date coincidence unit 17. Upon coincidence of the date read from the ticket and the date set on date-setting switch 18, date coincidence unit 17 provides an output signal toflip-flop l5, setting flip-flop 15. The output of flip-flop 15 is then applied to destination station number and code matrix 52.
In a preferred arrangement, the binary coded marks a (FIG. 1) are representative of data relating to the station number of origin of the ticket, and this information is required to be stored temporarily in storage unit 44. The outputs of this storage unit 44, are connected via line 47 to a diode matrix 48 arranged to decode the binary data and converts the same to signals indicative of the station numbers. The second group of data b (FIG. 1) represents information relating to the fare value of a ticket and thus, the second storage unit 45, is used to temporarily store this informatiomand might also include other code information indicating whether or not the ticket is a platform ticket, for example. The outputs of storage unit 45 are connected via line 49 to a further diode matrix 50, similar to that of matrix 48, but with the diodes interconnected such as to provide output signals on the coordinates indicative of the particular fares determined for the tickets. By suitable cross connections indicated by the fare field 51 between matrices 48 and 50, the fare applicable to any station number can be preset. The third binary group c recorded on each ticket may contain marks representative of information relating to the number of the destination station, for example, or the type of ticket, i.e. single, return, season. This information is required to be temporarily stored in storage unit 46 and provision may be made for using additional numbers as required, to identify special types of tickets. A further diode matrix 52 receives output signals from storage unit 46 via line 53,21 Date O.K." signal from flip-flop 15 and receives further signals from matrix 50 to produce output signals therefrom.
For providing signals indicative to season ticket information, since the season tickets may be for a week, month or quarter, a setting switch 45 is provided to supply signals indicative of preset season ticket data to matrix 52 and to a passenger store 57 and the switch may, of course, provide for season tickets having extended periods of validity, tag. 6 months, 1 year, etc.
Output signals are produced on line 58 from matrix 52 indicating whether a ticket should be deposited in a ticket-collecting box, or returned to the commuter, and a ticket magnet or similar device would be provided for this purpose.
The information from storage units 44, 45, 46, decoded by the respective matrices 48, 50, 52, is combined to form a single output signal which is applied to the passenger store 57. The purpose of this store is to indicate the number of valid tickets which have been inserted in the ticket-receiving slot, and an output signal from store 57 is applied to a gate release circuit to allow passengers to pass therethrough.
As each passenger passes through the gate, mechanism may be provided to provide a pulse per passenger, which is fed back over line 68 to the passenger store 57 to release one storage unit for each passenger passing through, such that a passenger may, for example, insert a plurality of tickets into the reading mechanism, information that the tickets are valid stored in the passenger store until all tickets have been checked and the gate released for the correct number of passengers to pass through the barrier before the gate is again locked. The application to the passenger store 57 of a gate release pulse is arranged to feed a reset pulse via line 59 to the storage units 44, 45, 46, to restore these units to zero, ready for the receipt of data relating to the next ticket fed to the sensing apparatus. Similarly, as previously indicated, flip-flop 16 is reset by the last pulse count of counters 32 or 33 through OR gate 22 to prepare for the receipt of orientation information relating to the next ticket fed to the reading heads.
It will be appreciated that the invention has been described by way of example only and is in no way limited to the particular arrangement illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – State officials say South Dakotans doing their holiday shopping online should remember that state and city taxes may be due on their purchases.
State Business Tax Director Doug Schinkel says many people don't realize that most Internet retailers are not collecting sales tax on items bought online. He says when sales tax is not charged on such purchases, the buyer owes a use tax.
The state use tax is 4 percent, the same as the state sales tax. Many cities also charge a sales and use tax.
Schinkel says online shoppers can find use tax reporting forms and other information on the state Revenue Department's website at http://www.state.sd.us/drr2/businesstax/st/usetax.htm

From left to right, Jessie Earp, 12, Ashley Doyle, 10, Luke and Jacob Jenkins, 9 and 10, corner a crayfish just off the dock at Hidden Cove Marina on Boone Lake Monday.
From the lake to the mountains, the Johnson City area was busy with Labor Day activities.
For a lot of people who wouldn't usually have a day off on Monday, they were able to take advantage of cooperating weather to enjoy the natural benefits of the area.
On Boone Lake, at Hidden Cove Marina, a group of kids was jumping off the docks while others were catching crayfish under the docks. And the catching was good.
Luke and Jacob Jenkins were proud to show off their bucket of captive crayfish. They teamed with Ashley Doyle and Jessie and Megan Earp to make the most of the holiday, which kept them out of school for the day.
Labor Day is an unofficial end to summer, which is exactly what had Ethan Hedick and Cody Patterson leaving the lake Monday afternoon. While they never experienced any rain, they didn't trust the cloud coverage, and were pulling Patterson's new boat for the last time this year. They said they had about two hours of fun, swimming and swinging from a rope before calling it quits.
Patterson is a Washington County teacher and said he and Hedick, an East Tennessee State University student, had been out on the lake every free day they had all summer.
A smaller body of water was the main attraction for Blountville's Jerry Miller. He was fishing for stock fish from the pond dock at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center campus. The road next to the pond was crowded with dozens of marauding ducks and nearly 100 geese, who would stop traffic just about every time a car would pass. Miller said he enjoyed their company and would rather have them there than not.
The ducks specifically brought over the Alotaibi family from campus, whose young daughter, Yara, was getting an up-close look. Yara's father, Naif, and mother, Saham, originally from Saudi Arabia, said their usual days off were on Saturday and Sunday, and liked to come enjoy all the grass, the pond and the wildlife at the VA when they could.
Fall soccer is just starting its season, and at an ETSU soccer practice, some young fans of the sport were watching with their moms. Sadie Kegley, of Jonesborough, who works from 8 a.m-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for the Social Security office, had received word that her son Reid's soccer practice had been canceled, and decided they would check out the college players in action, saying it was too nice to be inside.
Similarly, Tina Bouthillier, who studies Spanish at the university, brought her son, Lucas, to the practice to gauge his interest in the sport. She said Lucas had enjoyed playing soccer with all his buddies from school in the Johnson City Parks and Recreation league.
All the holiday fun wasn't only going on in the region's lower elevations. ETSU biology student Jeremy Miller, from Dickson County, was just returning to his car after coming off of an excursion up the Tip Top Trail at White Rock on Buffalo Mountain. He brought his recently rescued dog, Lady, on the journey, which he said lasted more than four hours.
Taking advantage of an extra free day for studying, he said they made an hour-long stop in the middle so he could catch up on some reading he had to do for school. While he enjoyed his reading about aboriginal tribes atop a mountain, he said he still hadn't caught up.

There's a question whether Rick Santorum will prolong his presidential campaign to finish in Pennsylvania later this month. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is moving in for the kill, buying $1.8 million of airtime in the state. NPR's Mara Liasson reports on the state of the GOP nominating campaign.

In Mississippi, Southern Italian Food Takes on a Whole New Meaning
Though I've had more than my fair share of oysters Mosca and chicken grande at Mosca's, the justifiably famous Creole Italian restaurant just outside New Orleans, I'd never really thought of the American South as having much in the way of an Italian restaurant tradition. But in the last two days I've eaten two terrific and totally different Italian meals in Mississippi that were each in their own way absolutely true to themselves and the towns they are situated in. L&M's Kitchen and Salumeria is the brainchild of Dan Latham, a native Mississippian and Ole Miss and French Culinary Institute grad who cooked and made salumi at Otto, Babbo, and Pó, Mario Batali's restaurants in New York City's Greenwich Village....

Job prospects for pharmacists today are different than in years past thanks to the recent opening of new pharmacy schools across Tennessee.
Prior to January 2007, the only place in Tennessee to become a pharmacist was at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Now there are six pharmacy schools, one of which is located at East Tennessee State University. ETSU pharmacy students began studying in 2007.
And as these schools collectively send hundreds of graduates out into the world each year, it becomes more difficult for them to find jobs where desired.
ETSU just graduated 78 pharmacists in its third class.
There are jobs, though, you just have to be willing to take them, said ETSU Pharmacy Dean Larry Calhoun.
"The days of graduating from pharmacy school and selecting where you want to work and your hours are essentially over," Calhoun said.
"If you really want to stay in Nashville, that's going to be a challenge for you, not impossible but a challenge.
"Historically, there have been job openings in rural communities," Calhoun said.
Pharmacists today must be more flexible on many aspects of their employment, but they must also be ready, Calhoun said.
"The job market in pharmacy right now is very dynamic," he said. "What we are doing about that is preparing our students from day one to be different and be marketable and be chosen when competing for positions."
Calhoun said he knows of no pharmacy graduate from the first two classes who is not working. The third class graduated a month ago.
One way ETSU plans to give an edge to these students at the College of Pharmacy is by providing dual degrees. ETSU hopes to offer pharmacy students the option of extending their studies by a year and obtaining a master's degree in public health to go with their pharmacy degree. Soon the school hopes to offer a master's of business administration as an option to complement the pharmacy doctorate. Both plans must be approved by the Tennessee Board of Regents.
Haley Trivett will begin her second year of pharmacy school at ETSU this fall. She thought the master's of public health may be a good option.
"It will take an extra year but I really think that degree will help me in the new world of pharmacy, where you're not only pushing a product but you're providing care," Trivett said.
Trivett also thinks she must differentiate herself from other recent pharmacy graduates because the profession has become much more competitive.
"It's not now just that you're a PharmD., it's how are you different from all the other PharmDs," Trivett said.
Another edge Calhoun said students at ETSU have is built into the nature of ETSU itself. ETSU is considered an academic health science center, one of only a few in the nation. This designation means the school has many aspects of medical education. At ETSU there is a medical school, a nursing school, a public health school and a clinical and rehabilitative health sciences school, as well as the pharmacy school.
Calhoun said the new model of team-based health care that incorporates all these disciplines places ETSU graduates at an advantage, because they have already had experience with cross-disciplinary care. This model will become increasingly important, Calhoun said.
"That's one of the things that makes us different and our students tell us that's one of the reasons they choose us," he said.
Erin Hankin will begin her fourth year of pharmacy school this fall. She thinks the health sciences aspect of ETSU is a big strength for students. In fact, Hankin is starting an association of inter-professional health for students.
"There's only a handful of universities in the U.S. that have those other disciplines," she said. "So I think that's a very strong strength that our students will have."
Some of the advantages must come from the students, though. Calhoun said he encourages students from the first day of class to become involved in as many activities and organizations as possible.
"You can't wait until your fourth year to show your employers that you have a dedicated interest in the profession," Calhoun said.
While pharmacy may be a changing field and more competitive now, the outlook for the future pharmacists is not grim, Calhoun said.
Many factors influence employment prospects, including the economy and the age of the currently employed population. Calhoun said many pharmacists who are nearing or at retirement delayed that move until the recession subsided. That means there will be job openings in the near future, he said.
Health care reform is another factor that will influence pharmacy, regardless of how that legislation ultimately plays out, Calhoun said.
"We are sure that health care reform is going to recognize the importance of having pharmacists as part of a team," he said.
Hankin suggested the saturation of pharmacists in the market today could be an opportunity for the profession to greatly expand in scope and provide many more services than has been traditionally expected of pharmacists.
For example, she said pharmacists now can assist in drug research and development and consult in a clinical setting alongside physicians.
"It could be seen as an opportunity for growth for our profession," Hankin said of the influx of new pharmacists. "It's definitely an opportunity for us to step up our game."

GRAFTON, Mass. - In 2012, Grafton became the town of champions: the Grafton High School girls softball team became state champs and the football team followed up by capturing the Grafton's first Super Bowl trophy since 1986.
That's two trophies for the brand new Grafton High School. There are worse ways to christen a new trophy case.
The ladies in green took on all comers in the spring, defeating Western Mass. champs Hampshire Regional, 3-2, in the semi-final for a shot at a trophy shaped like the state of Massachusetts.
How hard fought was their Worcester State University match against Abington High with the state championship on the line? The final score was 1-0, a feat which prompted ESPN to name pitcher Kendal Roy to its All-State Softball team.
One last coda: Grafton's winning season also brought scholarships to two of its standout players, Ali Page and Tara Faford, who signed their letters of intent in November.
When the football season started in the fall, the Grafton Indians quickly became known for their crushing defensive play. They even managed to beat Millbury at Thanksgiving, something not accomplished for 12 years.
With a win over Lunenburg in the playoffs -- Coach Mike Ross' 100th career win -- Grafton headed for its first Super Bowl since 1989. On a snowy field at Fitchburg State University, the Indians shut out Northbridge High to win the Division 4 Super Bowl, 21-4.
The Grafton Daily Voice is tallying the top 10 stories of 2012 this week.

University of New Mexico football coach Bob Davie suspended sophomore defensive back Devonta Tabannah, effectively immediately, following a violation of team rules.
Tabannah was arrested Sunday on a DWI charge and was also cited for not having a driver's license, no proof of insurance, among other traffic violations.
Tabannah will not practice this week, nor play in Saturday's season opener against Southern.
Tabannah played in six games last year with three starts before missing the last five games with knee and ankle injuries. He made 13 tackles on the season, with a career-high seven tackles against Texas Tech in week three in a reserve role.

When cellular manufacturers embraced Bluetooth technology and created wireless headsets, businesses and professionals responded with enthusiasm.
Recently, manufacturers such as Samsung have taken that technology as the basis for smartwatches that integrate with the user's mobile phone. This has been lauded as a similarly significant breakthrough.
Now it appears that Samsung is poised to take the next step: moving from its Galaxy handset-integrated Gear to a standalone version of the device. This new iteration of the Gear will have its own independent cellular connection to allow its operation in the absence of a mobile phone.
Work is underway in South Korea
According to reports from the Korea Herald, Samsung and SK Telecom — both companies based in South Korea — are working together to produce and release to SK Telecom subscribers an early version of the device that would have wireless connection capabilities.
Success of such a device in South Korea would likely lead to its release elsewhere, particularly given Samsung's broad global presence.
Benefits of a stand-alone smartwatch
Like Google Glass, a stand-alone Gear product should open up novel possibilities for consumers. Considering the popular current use of smartwatches as an accessory for fitness tracking, the new Gear product would allow even more flexibility in fitness pursuits: it would allow runners, bikers, and others to leave their phone at home while continuing to receive progress reports and stay in touch during training.
This kind of use would seem suitable for even early releases of a Samsung smartwatch or similar technology from any other company, because the limited use would not be overly taxing for a small device, and would not require any of the advanced features that are at least currently possible only on a smartphone.
Where would smartwatches fit into our digital arsenals?
Given the early state of smartwatch technology, it would be unreasonable to expect that such devices, even with stand-alone cellular and wireless connectivity capability, would be suitable replacements for mobile devices.
One major obstacle cannot be remedied in any practical way. Most people enjoy the large amount of screen real estate provided by the latest smartphones, and any smartwatch that attempted to replicate the screen size of a phone would be comically large and unwieldy.
However, if the capabilities of wearable technology expand and can replicate at least some of the smartphone experience, people may feel more comfortable keeping their smartphones at home or out of sight. Additionally, sleek smartphones might become secondary to tablets (or at least tablet-sized smartphones).
Manufacturers and users would be more likely to embrace larger screens and less portability on such devices. Users would more likely lean on their smartwatch for daily use and reserve phones and tablets for more intense activities such as business projects, marketing and management, website creation, or reading long articles, as opposed to scrolling through Twitter, texting and messaging, and speaking to friends and family.
One thing is certain: The price of such devices will have to decrease before they can become more widely embraced, particularly while their capabilities remain comparatively limited.

Procedures to Become Eligible for Service
If you are a new student to SPSCC and/or to DSS, you will need to make an appointment for an intake interview with the Coordinator of DSS. You will also need to provide documentation of disability that meets SPSCC guidelines. Accommodations and the student's need for accommodations are determined on a case by case basis.
It is the student's responsibility to meet with instructors at the onset of the quarter to discuss accommodations. If the student is concerned about meeting with an instructor, the Coordinator of DSS will meet with both the student and instructor to facilitate a discussion of the accommodations.
Timeline to Obtain Services
Although a qualified student who submits acceptable documentation of his/her disability is eligible for accommodations at any point in a given quarter once the intake interview has been completed, some accommodations (e.g. interpreting services, text in alternative format [Braille, e-text], textbooks on audiotape, enlarged print, etc) require substantial advanced notice (15 to 30 working days or more).
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the prospective or enrolled student to give sufficient early notice of such accommodation to DSS each quarter the student is enrolled in order to ensure timely coordination and availability of equipment, items, and/or services.
A good time to begin planning for accommodations for an academic quarter is early in the registration period for the quarter.
Procedures to Obtain Services Once Found Eligible
Every quarter a student is requesting academic accommodations from DSS, s/he needs to stop by the Disability Support Services office in Student Life and complete a Letter of Accommodation (LOA) Request Form and attach a copy of his/her class schedule. In turn, DSS will provide Letters of Accommodation for the student to give to each of his/her instructors. These letters indicate which accommodations the student has qualified for and are intended to begin communication between the student and his/her instructor. Accommodations rely on a collaborative partnership between DSS, the student with the disability, and the instructor.
It is the student's responsibility to meet with instructors at the onset of the quarter to discuss accommodations. If the student is concerned about meeting with an instructor, the Coordinator of DSS will meet with both the student and instructor to facilitate a discussion of the accommodations.

Required Documentation to Become Eligible for Disability Support Services
Documentation of a disability must be generated by a medical or professional expert in the related field of disability and submitted in writing to Disability Support Services where it will be kept in a separate, confidential file. (Note: The cost and responsibility for providing this documentation shall be borne by the student.)
The documentation should be current and include a description of the disability, names and results of tests administered (if appropriate), and a statement of how the disability impacts the student in an educational setting.
For Learning Disabilities, the following guidelines are appropriate:
- BOTH an IQ Test and an Achievement Test; administered at the adult learning level (within the last 3 to 4 years).
- For the IQ test, the WAIS-III is preferred (in lieu of a WAIS III, a WAIS-R or two WISC-III tests that are correlated within 15 IQ points of each other may be acceptable.)
- For the Achievement Test portion, the Woodcock Johnson or Woodcock Johnson-R is the most commonly used. (The WRAT-R and the WRAT-III tests are not comprehensive measures of achievement and therefore are not appropriate for documentation.)
- Exact instruments used, test results (including subtest score data), written interpretation of the results, name, title, and professional credentials of the evaluator, and the dates of the testing.
- Clear and specific evidence which identifies specific learning disabilities and reflects the individual's present level of adult functioning in processing and intelligence, as well as achievement.
The College does not provide diagnostic testing for learning disabilities. The DSS office can provide you a list of LD evaluators and diagnosticians; however, we do not make any recommendations or referrals to any one specific person or company.
PLEASE NOTE: IEP's or ITP's, and 504 Plans DO NOT meet documentation requirements, but may be included as part of a more comprehensive assessment battery as described in this document. Additionally, individual "learning styles", "learning differences", "learning problems" and "academic problems" in-and-of themselves do not constitute a learning disability. Please click here for more information how college is different from high school.
If there should be any questions regarding appropriate documentation, please contact DSS at: (360) 596-5455.

Oh, what a sweet little soul! GOM will come around and the cat will win him over. We have a stray that I can't seem to catch. She is a lovely calico and I am afraid that her bulging sides aren't from over-eating! She has been terrorizing the old cat that lives on my front porch and I just want to tame her and give her a place to receive her food. Of course, should she continue to pee and poop on my front porch........ she will be taking a ride to a no-kill shelter!

Each time GOM lays a guilt trip on you, I want you to remember the many beloved plants he has helped go to that great plant nursery in the sky.
In time, Morten and GOM will probably warm up to each other. Probably faster than one might think; cats seem to gravitate to those who are a tad aloof.

TWD- Tall and Creamy (Peppermint Bark) Cheesecake
When I flipped the page to the Tall and Creamy Cheesecake I knew I'd found my selection. Dorie posted about this cheesecake back in April and I've been pining over it ever since. Highly customizable, this cheesecake is flavorful, beautiful, and not too heavy. I'm dying to see everyone's variations and will post my own (Peppermint Bark) below Dorie's recipe. Inspired by a recent visit to The Cheesecake Factory, I divided the batter into thirds and flavored one-third with white chocolate and the other two-thirds with peppermint extract. I swirled in Andes Mint peppermint chips after marbling the two batters together. I also added a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to the crust for color (haha). I figured my husband could eat around that!
Cute baby Marcus was the star of the show on Saturday but didn't get to try any! I served this cheesecake at a baby shower for my old friend Alyson and it was delicious (though it would have been better blue than pink!) My favorite thing about it is the great flavor without the heavy heavy texture. While prepping for the party, I realized that I'd left my camera at home. Pardon the purse camera pictures, but thanks to my mom for letting me borrow her cute little point and shoot (which happens to be the same color as the cheesecake!)
We moved into our house on Christmas Eve (like crazy people) and are without internet. More importantly, we are without kitchen! The cabinets missed the train by one day and with the holidays that meant an extra two weeks. My husband was too anxious to finally live in his Christmas present, the biggest of his life, so we are sans internet, sans kitchen, and even sans kitchen sink! Thankfully our parents are close by so I'll be stealing computer and oven time around there until we are all set up. Have a happy new year and I'll be back with York Peppermint Patty Chocolate cookies (you can see them peaking in from one of the corners of the demolished cheesecake picture).
I've taken the recipe from Serious Eats where you can hear more about it.
Tall and Creamy Cheesecake: A Basic
makes 16 servings
From Baking From My Home to Yours, by Dorie Greenspan
For the crust:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
2 pounds (four 8-ounce boxes) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups sour cream or heavy cream, or a combination of the two
To make the crust:
Butter a 9-inch springform pan—choose one that has sides that are 2 3/4 inches high (if the sides are lower, you will have cheesecake batter leftover)—and wrap the bottom of the pan in a double layer of aluminum foil; put the pan on a baking sheet.
Stir the crumbs, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Pour over the melted butter and stir until all of the dry ingredients are uniformly moist. (I do this with my fingers.) Turn the ingredients into the buttered springform pan and use your fingers to pat an even layer of crumbs along the bottom of the pan and about halfway up the sides. Don't worry if the sides are not perfectly even or if the crumbs reach above or below the midway mark on the sides—this doesn't have to be a precision job. Put the pan in the freezer while you preheat the oven.
Center a rack in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F and place the springform on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Set the crust aside to cool on a rack while you make the cheesecake.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
To make the cheesecake:
Put a kettle of water on to boil.
Working in a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese at medium speed until it is soft and lives up to the creamy part of its name, about 4 minutes. With the mixer running, add the sugar and salt and continue to beat another 4 minutes or so, until the cream cheese is light. Beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs one by one, beating for a full minute after each addition—you want a well-aerated batter. Reduce the mixer speed to low and stir in the sour cream and/or heavy cream.
Put the foil-wrapped springform pan in the roaster pan.
Give the batter a few stirs with a rubber spatula, just to make sure that nothing has been left unmixed at the bottom of the bowl, and scrape the batter into the springform pan. The batter will reach the brim of the pan. (If you have a pan with lower sides and have leftover batter, you can bake the batter in a buttered ramekin or small soufflé mold.) Put the roasting pan in the oven and pour enough boiling water into the roaster to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, at which point the top will be browned (and perhaps cracked) and may have risen just a little above the rim of the pan. Turn off the oven's heat and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Allow the cheesecake to luxuriate in its water bath for another hour.
After 1 hour, carefully pull the setup out of the oven, lift the springform pan out of the roaster—be careful, there may be some hot water in the aluminum foil—remove the foil. Let the cheesecake come to room temperature on a cooling rack.
When the cake is cool, cover the top lightly and chill the cake for at least 4 hours, although overnight would be better.
Remove the sides of the springform pan— I use a hairdryer to do this (use the dryer to warm the sides of the pan and ever so slightly melt the edges of the cake)—and set the cake, still on the pan's base, on a serving platter. The easiest way to cut cheesecake is to use a long, thin knife that has been run under hot water and lightly wiped. Keep warming the knife as you cut slices of the cake.
Wrapped well, the cake will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or for up to 2 months in the freezer. It's best to defrost the still-wrapped cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator.
Peppermint Bark Cheesecake
from Anne Strawberry
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
5 drops red food coloring
3 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
1/4 cup Andes Peppermint chips
4 ounces Peppermint Bark, broken into large pieces
Prepare crust as directed and stir in cocoa powder. Bake as directed.
Prepare cheesecake batter as above and divide into thirds. Into one third, stir in white chocolate. Set aside.
In other two thirds, stir in peppermint extract (to taste) and add food coloring to achieve desired color.
Pour in pink batter, spoon over white batter, sprinkle with peppermint chips, and swirl together to form a marble pattern.
Bake and cool as directed and top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and peppermint bark. Enjoy!

Wow Anne- That is super creative! I never in a million years would have thought to turn peppermint bark into cheesecake. It looks perfect and so delicious for this time of year. Thanks for a great pick- we loved it! It was almost completely devoured before I could get any pics

Thanks for such an amazing pick! I actually made it.. I only made 2/4 this month and I knew this was one I couldn't skip on, even though I almost did. My family loved my lemon variation of this cheesecake. I agree, it's not too heavy, but it's probably b/c I used one block of lite cream cheese..haha
The peppermint bark is a great variation. I love peppermint bark.

I'm way behind in the posting department thanks to a handful of critical post holiday deadlines at work. But I wanted to offer my belated thanks for choosing the last recipe of 2008. And for sharing your peppermint bark version -- which may make an appearance on my Valentine's Day menu.

This cheesecake was so good!! The caramel sauce made it a million times better. It almost tastes as good as the Snickers cheesecake I like at the Cheesecake Factory. If I had added Snickers, I know it would have been even better. Thanks!!
- February 2, 2009 at 5:57 PM
- MorenaTejana said...
Oh!BTW, I made the plain version with caramel on top and with an oreo crust.

will this recipe work just as well for mini cheesecakes or do time and ingredients need to be adjusted?
thank you!
- December 14, 2012 at 12:09 PM
- Anne said...
This recipe would work just as well for little cheesecakes but you would probably need to adjust the timing (maybe compare a different mini cheesecake recipe or just watch them carefully?)

This past year I took an abx ceftin and about 2 days into it my eyes went beat red and starting itching like you wouldnt believe along with water blisters coming up on the white of my eyes. I was in misery. I stopped the abx and my eyes got better.
Last week I went to Wal Mart and bought some chicken called general sews. The next morning I woke with bright red eyes and the itching and blisters again. I went to the Dr. because I was in so much pain and told her what I was thinking it was. She thought maybe viral but gave me drops for allergies as well as some abx cream to put in my eyes. They got better in about 2 days.
Well I went back to Wal Mart night before last and ate some honey bbq chicken that I have eaten in the past with no issues and yet again I wake up with the eyes again.
So now I am thinking they added something to the food or some chicken got mixed together and I am reacting to food like I did with the abx.
Is this even possible? Oh and I have some itching in my mouth though when I am sick like now I often have that anyway.
Any thoughts, or btdt?

Ok. A severe drug allergy can cause what you describe with your eyes and cephlin type antibiotics are main culprits. It's very serious though or can be (as in life threatening). It's called Stevens Johnson's Syndrome and I'd look into it to see if the eye symptoms are what you experienced. If so I'd want to see an allergist. I'm wondering if you might be reacting to antibiotics in the chicken! I hope not.
Ok...on the chicken. Contact the manufacturer and find out if there are any allergy warnings and get ingredients. That might help you see if there is the same thing in both you might be reacting to. Ask if it is produced on shared equipment with any of the top eight allergens that you don't regularly eat safely. I'd agree you're allergic to something and, to me, that reaction is scary. I'd see an allergist for testing.

I have always had seasonal type allergies but no food ones.

I also began to get food related blistering and swelling around my eyes in my twenties. After three emergency visits to an old dermatologist, he put me on a low salicylate, chemical free diet for three weeks and it put me in the clear until about five years later. I'm supposed to go on the diet for a couple of weeks everytime the reactions start coming back.
You can develop allergies any time... my son's first grade teacher became allergic to avocados (anaphylactically) in her 40's and last year I developed an allergy to pork.
Makes me wonder if the reason you're reacting to the chicken is perhaps abx that they are fed in their feed? Have you tried organic or free range chicken? What about eggs?
Whoa, that is really scary. Please keep us posted. I really want to know more about WHAT triggers these? It must be similar to the process that happens even when someone has an allergy all their life, right? Then it just happened either in utero or in early life. But what in the world is going on when someone develops an allergy to a random thing like avocadoes or a drug? Is it something about the state of the body at the time of exposure that triggers it?
I never had any trouble breathing at all with it even when I was taking the abx. Just the eye's and the blistering was not that bad just one or 2 on either eye with the abx. With the bbq chicken the first time there was one blister the second time no blisters.
I am trying not to freak out but it is disconcerting.

My drug reactions are much stronger with my eyes swelled shut and I can't see. I just go home and try to sleep it off. The first NSAID reaction and the fried chicken episode, I really felt I was going to suffocate to death but I had time to get to the clinic.
I must admit I have become really wary of all drugs because I cannot be certain of what might happen. When I took epidural for my first child it left me unconscious and the nurses had to turn it off, pump saline and slapped me back. By my second child, I was reacting to the OB cream with hives. But ds2 turned out really sensitive as well.

We're back, and just in the nick of time to get drunk for cheap! Yelp Drinks is fighting back against The Daily Beast in an attempt to shut down this "most sober city in America" nonsense.
At long last, we enter the hallowed halls of East Side hipster Valhalla — No. 308. Was it worth the wait? Oh sweet lord, yes.
Yet another ill-fated journey to Bar No. 308 ends in your humble bloggers drinking Four Loko and watching Portlandia On Demand. It's not the worst idea we've had, but it sure wasn't a great one.
Once again turned away by Bar No. 308, we somehow decide it would be a good idea to go to Margaritaville.
We set out to go to a swank East Nashville bar and wound up hanging out at Dino's instead. Dive bar aficionados take heed.
It was a dark and stormy night in East Nashville… then we wound up at Beyond the Edge and it was kinda lame. The end.
Happy hours don't have to all be dive bars and drinking 40s behind a gas station. After hanging with the zombies, we set out for another happy hour review, this time at a tapas bar near the Belcourt.
The first in a series of happy hour reviews. We're drinking for your benefit, we swear.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 4 Sneak Peek: Spencer Confronts Jason (VIDEO)
In this sneak peek from Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 4: "Birds of a Feather", Jason DiLaurentis (Drew Van Acker) returns to the Little Liars' lives. Spencer (Troian Bellisario) confronts her half-brother about a flyer he's posted offering a reward for information. While the info isn't spelled out, we're guessing it has something to do with information on who dug up his sister Alison's (Sasha Pieterse) grave.
Spencer, knowing that someone on the "A" team has photos of the Liars standing over Ali's empty grave, is curious to see if he's gotten any leads.
Check it out below!

Our house has many big windows and I'm simply too cheap to buy that much window blinds :P
I came up with this inexpensive, easy and yet decorative window blind.
It takes about 30 minutes to make one.
Step 1: Materials
a big sheet of cardboard (the one i used was kind of sloppy and had a lot of holes in it - you may choose a nicer one)
some twine
a long straight piece of lumber or anything else - it has to be straight thats all, you'll only need it as help for cutting)
a knive or cutter
2 hairclips or clothespins
2 hooks or heavy stones
1 big needle for the twine (works without but it'll much easier with the needle)
Step 2: Measure your window
cut your cardboard the same size.
you'll need to know the depth as well.
Step 3: Impress the cardboard :)
let' say it is 5 inches deep, than you'll make your foldes about 2,5 inches.
mark lines with for example 2,5 inches distance,
take the straight piece of lumber (or whatever you use) and place it on the cardboard.
now takte the BACK of your knife or cutter and impress every second line,
DON'T CUT THROUGH the card board, the lines are only a help for folding the blind. you won't need much pressure.
See the pictures.
Step 4: Folding
press the fold hard with your hand.
see the pictures
Now turn the sheet around.
Step 5: Impress other side
now impress the remaining lines on the other side, and fold them too.
you'll end up with a zig-zag folded cardboard.
I think the "airpockets" in cardboard should be helpful for insulation, but I'm not sure how much effect it really has :)
I have a street/security light problem that this fine instructable could help with. I like the cardboard look, but others are already coming up with ideas to modify the look. One can imagine a block print or stencil scheme before scoring the folds...
Also a reuse jacket Cord Stopper to hold it in place.
Great Ible !
I'm trying to improve the look and function.
I thought about very strong Velcro to mount the blinds to the frame, without drilling holes.
You can use most any kind of material, just make sure it's stiff...or starch it untill it is stiff.
I used wallpaper to make mine. If you use wallpaper, make sure that it does not have glue on it or that it is NOT pre-pasted(comes with glue already on it) or it just might end up sticking to your windows or walls.
That was my first mistake using wall paper. LOL
TY again for sharing.
i've never seen pre-pasted ones in Sweden but i'll think on it when i buy some :)
Great recycling ;o)
the condensation that builds up on the windows could cause them to stick to the window....that's why I say get wall paper WITHOUT PASTE on it.
it does not take a lot of water to make prepasted wall paper stick to anything...
and if you get plain white, you can decorate the blinds as you see fit!! :)
maybe put your artistic abilities to work....you would get blinds for the windows & show off your artwork too!! Just a thought..
Additionally, how much light do they block when fully closed? Think you could take a picture of that?
only the small drilled holes will shine through.
That's the Inst' I needed right now !…
Tank you so much.
Now I wanna ask you : what is the wall that shows through your window ?…
It seems to be made of polished stones or big chunks of "glass" ????…
I think it's very nice.
but i like it very much - it has all colours of the rainbow when the sun shines on it.
thanks for your answer.
however ,I didn't know that pirates needed to protect themselves from onlookers !… :)
- you could also add them later, if it doesn't work with only 2 strings
I tip my hat to you and your creativity ! Thank you for sharing !
now I just need to find me some sturdy cardboard...wonder if anyone nearby bought a new major appliance lately? :)

"MÖRKI" sounds nice :)
greetings from Jämtland

I am new to all this and I was wondering because on someones tutorial, he had like blue sky and sunset but when I click on it, there are things like underwater and low hanging dream and things like that.
Please help! Thanks.

You're question seems a bit unspecific ... what exactly is "someone's tutorial". I think low hanging dream is one of the Skyboxes that come with the Unity standard assets. So that would be a premade Skybox coming with Unity that you can use immediately.

How a skybox is integrated into Unity is explained in the reference manual: Skybox
A little more info can be found in the main manual: How do I make a Skybox
For rending the skybox, there's a couple of possibilities. Personally, I'm using Vue by e-on Software. There are a couple of tutorials on how to create the Skybox textures with Vue, e.g. Skybox Tutorial. This is for XNA but that doesn't really make a difference if you understand how to use Skyboxes in Unity.

Btw, if you feel that this answers your question, you can use the "check"-icon below the up/down-vote icons to mark the answer. This will remove this question from the unanswered questions and helps keeping Unity Answers tidy and clean ;-)
