LAS CRUCES, N.M. – For the first time in school history, New Mexico State will send three divers to an NCAA regional meet as the Aggies participate at the 2014 NCAA Zone E Diving Regional hosted by the Air Force Academy. The three-day meet runs from Thursday, March 13, through Saturday, March 15.
Senior Jaymee Porter and sophomores Audrey Ruiz and Lauren Reifel all earned qualifying scores at the 2014 WAC Championships in San Antonio, Texas, and will now compete at the zone meet being held at the Cadet Natatorium in Colorado Springs, Colo.
"I am very pleased with how the ladies have competed this season," Aggie head diving coach Kyle Bogner said. "They really put things together for the championship season starting with conference and have set themselves up to perform well at zones."
A total of 59 divers from 24 schools, including New Mexico, Idaho and WAC champion Northern Arizona, will compete at the regional meet. Out of those 59 qualifying divers in Zone E, which encompasses all schools west of Colorado's eastern border, only the top-eight divers will advance to the NCAA Championships.
This will be second-consecutive season for Ruiz at the zone regionals as she also qualified during her freshman year. Porter and Reifel will be competing in their first zone meet of their NM State careers. Last season's appearance by Ruiz at zones was the first for an Aggie diver since 2009.
Porter had two qualifying scores during the WAC Championships, including a record-breaking performance in the platform event. The NM State senior ended her WAC career in style, finishing second in the platform with a score of 233.75, a new school record, while also marking a qualifying score of 267.55 in the 1-meter event.
Ruiz finished fifth in the conference during the 1-meter with a zone-qualifying score of 295.90. Not to be outdone, Reifel finished fifth in the 3-meter event with a finals score of 290.50 to qualify for her first zone meet of her career.
"While it is certainly the goal of most divers to make a zone score, it is rare that every member of a diving squad exceeds that mark," Bogner said. "The success that these ladies have found is truly a testament to their hard work throughout the year and I look forward to watching them compete."
Each day of the meet will consist of one diving event and each event will have a preliminary round before the final round. The 1-meter and 3-meter events will have 18 finalists while the platform event will advance 12 finalists from the preliminary round.
The 1-meter event will be held on Thursday with prelims beginning at 11 a.m. (MDT) and finals at 2 p.m. Friday will see the 3-meter event with prelims and finals also at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. respectively. The regional concludes Saturday with the platform event. Prelims will also be at 11 a.m. and finals are scheduled to begin at 12:50 p.m.
Fans can follow results live with free live scoring at www.divemeets.com. Qualifiers for the NCAA Championships will be announced on Saturday afternoon after the zone meet has concluded.

Cinestage Theatre
180-190 N. Dearborn Street,
14 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 34 comments
I saw "Lawrence" there in 1962 with my mother. I remember I was dying of thirst at the intermission and they were selling little cartons lemonade for $1.50 in the lobby. What a magnificent film. I saw "2001" in 1968 with my girlfriend after dinner at Plato's Place on the corner. She thought "2001" was "nice".
I saw Around the World in 80 Days at the Cinestage, which had a floor to ceiling concave curtain in front of a deeply curved screen. The interior of the auditorium had dark wood paneling. The projection booth was built in the center of the balcony with seating on top. Capacity was 1,100 seats. This was not the first Todd-AO installation in Chicago. That was a year earlier at McVickers for Oklahoma.
"Lawrence of Arabia" opened and played at the Cinestage Theatre. At the same time the Michael Todd was playing the Brando/Howard "Mutiny on the Bounty," which opened there late in 1962.
"Lawrence of Arabia" played the Michael Todd theatre next door. Both houses were equipped for 70mm projection. The Todd had a flat rather than a curved screen. I had just gotten a degree from the U. of I. in Champaign, and stayed over the summer to work at the University radio and TV stations. I remember getting up early on a Sunday morning to catch the train into Chicago specifically to see the "Lawrence" matinee at the Todd. The presentation was great with one curious exception. Four-track 35mm magnetic prints put the surround information on a narrower mag stripe on the film than was used for the stage channels. To minimize track hiss when there was no surround information the channel was muted. When the track was used a 12Khz "trigger tone" unmuted the channel. Four track systems filtered the tone out so the audience wouldn't hear it. The "Lawrence" 70mm screening at the Todd apparently took its surround information from the four track version, and since 70mm systems didn't need the tone it wasn't filtered out. At that age I could still hear 12 Khz, and the arrival of any surround information was forecast by the annoying whine of the tone which could be plainly heard in the Todd surround speakers.
Did "Lawrence of Arabia" debut in 1962 at The Cinestage.
If not, what was the first theatre it was shown at in Chicago?

Hello I'm currently working on a book about the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and am looking for photos and programs/newspaper clippings etc from each city in which the film premiered in originally in 1968. If you saw the film in it's initial run in the theater have a good memory of your experience, I'd love to interview you about seeing it. To date I have interviewed over 20 people that have worked on the film, and several close members in the Kubrick camp as well. If you can help please email me at
Ken McIntyre posted an interior picture of the Cinestage on May 13, 2009 at 12:30 am (see earlier comments). My recollection is that it little changed during its days as a Cinerama house, except for the installation of an orchestra level projection booth. Except for a screen with a shallower curve compared to the original Cinerama installations at the Palace and McVickers theaters in Chicago, I thought was a terrific Cinerama house
This is an updated link to a picture of the shredded Cinerama strip screen at the Cinestage:
The Art Institute of Chicago is featuring "Bertrand Goldberg: Architecture of Invention". It will be in place until January 15, 2012. The Cinestage is mentioned in it; evidently Michael Todd and Bertrand Goldberg were friends and collaborators. Goldberg had a hand in the redesign of the interior of the theatre when it re-opened in the 1950s. Todd and Goldberg were working on establishing a chain of motion picture theatres called Cinestage; this endeavor never occurred due to the death of Michael Todd. Along with figaro14, I am interested in photographs of the interior of the Cinestage along with anyone's memories of the theatre building.
I saw the original 70mm Cinerama showing of 2001 A Space Odyssey at the Cinestage in 1968. It was a reserved seat showing and souvenier program books were sold. I still have my program book along with several Chicago Tribune Cinestage ad clippings. Does anyone have any interior photos of the Cinestage? I remember the design being very clean and simple, and not an extremely large looking space, compared to the sister Michael Todd next door.
Considering it was a reserved seat, Cinerama showing, actually ten weeks was a rather short run. It was the only film I ever saw there.
Sorta surprized to see a 10 week run on "ICE STATION ZEBRA",while I liked the movie, i always assumed it was one of those one week runs and it gone films.Of course it is Chicago,and was probably only playing at the Cinestage.
Chicago's CINERAMA Theaters
Opera House
Michael Coate has done a great amount of research to come up with what CINERAMA movies played when at what theaters around the United States and Canada. These are the CINERAMA films that played at the Cinestage. Thanks Michael
All these films were in 70mm
This had been Michael Todd's theater. When he left CINERAMA, he wanted to come up with "CINERAMA out of one hole" and he came up with TODD-AO. Years later his theater ended up having CINERAMA and it did come out of one hole, the answer was 70mm CINERAMA.
MEDITERRANEAN HOLIDAY, December 25, 1964, 13 Weeks, 70mm
GRAND PRIX, January 25, 1967, 24 Weeks, 70mm
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, April 11, 1968, 36 Weeks, 70mm
ICE STATION ZEBRA, April 17, 1969, 10 Weeks, 70mm
KRAKATOA, EAST OF JAVA, June 26, 1969, 12 Weeks, 70mm
I saw my first x-rated movie here in 1971. i think it was called Hot Connections and was about a telephone repairman named George. I was just 18 that day and when I walked in and saw what was going on up on the screen I just thought I LOVE THIS.
Here is the interior of the Selwyn, circa 1920s:
Thanks CW, always wondered about that.
Having heard many Chicagoan say the name and having been a regular visitor to the Windy City for decades, I have never heard it pronounced anything other than "Cin-eh-stage." Perhaps some did mockingly when it showed X-rated fare, but not to my knowledge.
Was this theatre pronounced "SINstage" or "SIN-EHstage"??
There is a framed B/W picture of the Cinestage hanging in the Chicago Cultural Center. Second floor West walkway from the Washington Street side.
It is among other a few other Chicago buildings hanging in the walkway.
The picture appears to be mid `70's complete with an AMC Gremlin parked in front. A portion of the Cinestage marquee is visible, along with the actual word Porno spelled out.
On the first floor walkway there is a much larger exhibit of historic Chicago buildings & landmarks.
Here's a vitage ad: Chicago's Cine-Stage Theatre Accepting "Exodus" Reservations by Mail
Duh! Catherine! The caption says 1982. I'd better get back to work!
The picture seems to indicate that this place was once known as "Michael Todd's Cinestage".
A photo of the Todd/Cinestage can be found here: View link
Judging by the automobiles in the foreground, I'd say that the photo was taken in the early 1980s.
You can also see the Thompson Center, then known as the State of Illinois Building, under construction in the background. Who agrees with me that this is the worst building ever built in Chicago (The Thompson Center, not the theatres!)?
The strip screen mentioned above was actually a Cinerama screen (not Todd-AO) that was installed for the roadshow engagement of Kubrick's 2001 a Space Odyssey.
Cinemark Fan,
So some decent films did play here then. By the way, check out the posting on the main page of Classic Cinemas vs. Village Theatres. I think you might find it interesting and what your opinion would be.

Eyeliner 101
Have you noticed the enormous amount of eyeliner options these days? I mean, I really appreciate such a robust product selection, but COME ON, we don't have all day to experiment with this stuff. We're moms. We're busy. Applying black winged eyeliner was not on my to-do list this morning. (OR WAS IT?)
Let's break it down, shall we? Here are the 6 most commonly used eyeliners with some of my favorite YouTube tutorials demonstrating the best way to apply each type.
Pencil Eyeliner 1 of 6The easiest product to use, in my opinion. Just run it across the base of your lashes, and you're good to go.
Tutorial: Carly Loves Cosmetics (Yes, she's probably 20 years younger than most of us, but deal with it.)
Gel Eyeliner 2 of 6
I use this for nights out or if I need my liner to last for 8+ hours at a time.
Tutorial: It's Judy Time
Liquid Eyeliner 3 of 6
Liquid eyeliner is perfect for the "cat eye" look.
Tutorial: Makeup by Doda
Shadow Eyeliner 4 of 6The great thing about using shadow as a liner is that you can build to your desired intensity.
Tutorial: Send the Trend
Cream Eyeliner 5 of 6Cream eyeliner is very similar in consistency to gel eyeliner, and can be applied in the same way. I also use creams for easy, everyday eye shadows.
Jumbo Eyeliner 6 of 6Applied just like a pencil, this eyeliner creates a thicker line, and is fool-proof. Just blend with your finger, and you're ready for the day.

The Corvallis School District's alternative education program, known as College Hill High School, is dedicated to creating opportunities and alternatives for learning that will engage students and bring purpose to their lives.
The program is housed at the Harding Center, 510 N.W. 31st St., and it serves students from both Crescent Valley and Corvallis high schools.
College Hill allows students to develop a framework of accountability and a personal timeline toward graduation that promotes learning and inspires them to invest in their future. Students work in an independent study environment in which they earn credits toward a high school diploma. While working on their diploma requirements, students also develop the computer skills, basic skills, life skills and career skills they need to succeed as adults. They learn to set long-term and short-term goals and to exercise the discipline necessary to meet those goals.
The College Hill program allows qualified students the option of also attending classes at their home high school. Students who are referred to College Hill may return to their home high school at the semester if they desire to do so and if they have completed their educational plan in the alternative education program.
For a complete description of the College Hill philosophy and more details about the alternative education program, check out the College Hill High School brochure.

Illustration: Retro loveliness from brilliant Finnish illustrator Sanna Mander
Such good illustration here from one of Agent Pekka's sparkling roster of artists, Sanna Mander. If you like vintage cars, Edward Scissorhands, The Flintstones or I Dream of Genie then this is going to be right up your street. Fantastic cluttered illustrations illustrate magazine fantastic articles all over the world with little 1950s-style trademarks such as pronounced wood grains, pointy eyeliner, cute tablecloths and basically any aesthetic that you might see in, let's say, the 1976 Freaky Friday intro. Some people get bothered about illustrators taking from the days of yore, but personally this kitsch style is right up my suburban American street. That illustration for Brummell magazine is absolutely beautiful.

Crissy Rock
Crissy has a unique ability to reduce her audiences to tears of laughter with her hilarious one woman stand-up shows and to tears of emotion with her film roles (including her extraordinary award-winning performance in director Ken Loach's masterpiece "Ladybird Ladybird") and more recently her role as Janey in Benidorm. With her recent exploits on ITV's "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" fresh in the public's mind 2012 is easily her best year to date.The release of her recent hit autobiography "The Heart Within Me Burns" became something of a sensation in 2011 sitting in the top ten of the Sunday Times bestseller list for 7 months and shortly being released as a paperback having hit 35,000 sales. Described as 'an inspirational piece of literature' it introduced Crissy to a whole new audience while her promotional appearances in support of the book were simply astonishing in the frankness of her humour while dealing with some hugely difficult subjects and a run of TV appearances (including 3 show-stopping appearances on This Morning) fuelled a surge of interest in Crissy and her incredible life to date. With huge news about to be announced around Crissy's autumn TV commitments 2011 has been a fantastic year for Crissy and 2012 promises to finally deliver the national recognition she so richly deserves.
Rewind 25 years or so…as a complete novice Crissy auditioned for a film called "Ladybird Ladybird" and legendary director Ken Loach immediately gave her the lead role. Justifying his view that this was indeed an actress of exceptional talent with the determination and ability to star in such a brutally hard hitting film, Crissy won numerous awards including winning The Berlin Film Festival award for best actress (that same year Tom Hanks won Best actor). Crissy also won the best actress award from the London Film Critic Circle with Hugh Grant winning best actor. Other awards followed including Chicago Film Festival – Best actress Award, Spanish National Radio Award for a foreign actress, French Henri Langlois Prize, "HERO" (a short film in which Crissy was the lead actress) won the Hamburg and Dresden International Festivals in three categories, also the London International Film Festival for short subjects, quite a remarkable achievement for this uniquely gifted actress.
Crissy then had two featured roles in Television's "Peak Practice" again showing her versatility and range. Many roles followed including two series of Granada's "Springhill", The BBC drama "Brazen Hussies" starring alongside Julie Walters and Robert Lyndsey for which Crissy received much critical acclaim. Her next role was in the BBC drama "Born to Run" and was followed by Crissy starring in a new drama "Shellfish" with her performance in this play gaining many plaudits with critic's comments ranging from "Destined for national stardom" to "Crissy Rock's powerful performance will help to make her a name to remember".
Further success followed with The Granada TV drama "Butterfly Collectors" which saw Crissy co-starring with Pete Postlethwaite with praise from the critics including Nancy Banks-Smith who – writing in The Guardian – said : "Crissy Rock..just switch her on and watch her go", "Dockers" for Parallax saw Crissy playing the part of Jean opposite Ken Stott while a lead role in "The Factory" followed, again for Granada.
Crissy numbers many legendary stars among her fans including some of the UK's leading writers and directors. Lynda La Plante is a huge admirer and became a fan after Crissy received rave reviews in a guest role in "Closure" from "Trial and Retribution" saying "Crissy has a power of emotions that is so rare" while Ken Loach simply says "I cannot think of anyone I have worked with who shines more brightly than Crissy Rock".
As well as Linda La Plante and Ken Loach, actress Julie Walters and actors such as Ricky Tomlinson (with whom Crissy starred in "Nice Guy Eddie"), continue to champion Crissy' Rock's talent and genius to this day.
A hiatus in her acting career came when she decided to re-locate to Spain specifically to film the Tiger Aspect/ITV comedy "Benidorm" alongside Johnny Vegas Tim Healey, Steve Pemberton and Sheila Reid. Crissy's role as Janey York ran for 3 hit series and Crissy decided to stay in Benidorm soon establishing herself as the Island's top female stand-up comedienne and playing 10 shows a week to packed houses.
Crissy's stand-up comedy is outrageous yet at times mesmerising and is fast becoming "must-see" theatre. Her recent sell out show at Liverpool's legendary Royal Court theatre saw her take the step up from the smaller working men's clubs to the bigger theatres and her show took a huge leap forward as a result. The show shot by Integral Productions was released on December 5th 2011 and follows her appearance in ITV's "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here".

WOODLAN — Churubusco's volleyball team fell to South Adams in three sets Thursday in a sectional quarterfinal match-up.
The Lady Starfires beat the Lady Eagles by a final of 25-23, 25-10 and 25-20.
The defeat leaves 'Busco with a record of 17-16 for the season.
Churubusco Head Volleyball Coach Trinda Goings said 2013 was a solid year for the program.
"We saw our volleyball IQ increase greatly," she said. "The program is gaining respect in the conference and the area as we have posted our third consecutive winning season."
Other highlights for the Lady Eagles, according to Goings, were two individual records being broken and the team winning the South Side Invitational for the second time in three years. 'Busco also finished tied for third in the Northeast Corner Conference.

COLUMBIA CITY — A legend in Columbia City's boys basketball was present at the Eagles' game against Northrop Saturday.
Bill Schwarz, a 1960 graduate and CCHS basketball's all-time leading scorer, traveled to the Donald S. Weeks gymnasium from his home in Chicago for Columbia City's senior night.
The Eagles' senior night had special meaning, as two Columbia City players are the closest to Schwarz's record that any hoopster has been since 1977.
FORT WAYNE — Former Columbia City High School bowler, Devin Arick, finished his sophomore season at Indiana Tech with high honors.
Indiana Tech's Warriors completed the year in second place in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference, and placed fourth in the WHAC Championship.
Arick was named to the WHAC Honorable Mention All-Conference Team.
He bowled in all four conference jamborees, averaging a 186.94 in 16 ga-mes. He ranked ninth in the conference.
Arick's best finish was at the third competition, when he finished fourth with a 195.25 average.
CROWN POINT — Some Whitley County natives are preparing for the girls basketball semi-state game at Crown Point Saturday.
Wayne Kreiger, long time Columbia City girls head coach, and Darby Maggard, former Whitko Middle School hoopster, are looking to take Canterbury's Lady Cavaliers to its fifth state title in the last six years.
Canterbury is currently 23-3 and faces 17-9 Lafayette Central Catholic. The Lady Cavs are slated to play at 1 p.m. at the Lake County school.
Also competing in semi-state play are Warsaw's girls, who are playing host to Fort Wayne South Side.
WHITLEY COUNTY — Two men were arrested for stealing from Steel Dynamics Incorporated after an investigation by Indiana State Police Trooper Joel Lemmon.
Christopher Sines and Daniel Yarnell were booked in the Whitley County Jail after they were caught with stolen copper wiring.
Lemmon pulled over the pair at the intersection of Butt and Washington Center Roads, and found SDI's copper wire, along with marijuana. Lemmon said the investigation is ongoing.
Both men are from Ohio and are currently charged with receiving stolen property.
COLUMBIA CITY — More than two million American children are homeschooled.
This number continues to rise as public school funding, education quality and safety cause concern for some parents.
Some families choose to homeschool for religious reasons. Homeschooling lets parents reinforce their personal values and beliefs in a school day environment.
"It doesn't really take a village to raise a child," said mother Charity Adair. "It takes parents who are involved."
SOUTH WHITLEY — South Whitley has a newly operational wastewater treatment plant.
Town council members were informed last week that as of Jan. 24, the project had reached a substantial completion status and is operational.
There are still some minor items to finish before the project is completed. Training on new equipment is underway and smaller items are being installed.
But the council was concerned with an entirely different pipe problem. A storm sewer pipe at 306 S. Main St. had collapsed, but the pipe's failure seemed to originate with its installation.
The National Weather Service has issued a forecast consisting of scattered snow showers, mainly before 4 p.m., and wind gusts as high as 40 mph for Tuesday. In the evening, the wind chill is estimated to be as low as -5 and wind gusts to remain strong at 30 mph.
Columbia City High School Show Choir is having a give-back night at Dairy Queen in Columbia City Monday from 4 to 8 p.m.
Dairy Queen will donate 10 percent of sales made in that time.
The CCHS Show Choir will give those funds to the Austin Show Choir, which lost most of its equipment earlier in February when the choir's truck and trailer went off the road while traveling to a competition.
Donations for the Austin Show Choir will also be accepted.
Public Safety Academy: Ivy Tech South Campus will have an open house Monday from 3 to 7 p.m.
Attendees can learn more about Ivy Tech programs, admissions, financial aid, student life, career services, the Center for Academic Excellence, disability support services, the TRiO program, College for Working Adults, Corporate College, the American Honors Program, and the FOCUS Hospitality Internship Program.
Also on hand will be Francine's Friends mobile mammography unit from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the Red Cross Bloodmobile from 1 to 6:30 p.m.
CHURUBUSCO — Saturday night's basketball game was most definitely a game of very contrasting halves.
The visiting Whitko Wildcats used stellar shooting from the field to win the first half, but the host Churubusco Eagles used a furious fourth quarter and an off-balance shot in the final seconds to win the second half, and the game, by a 42-40 score.

Each week here on VH1 Tuner, our VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown host Jim Shearer (@jimshearer on Twitter) will be sharing his Shearer's Spotlight with us. Be sure to tune into the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown tomorrow morning when it airs on VH1 at 9 a.m. ET/PT.
As I'm sure you know, summertime is a great occasion for music-filled road trips.
I've already gone on a couple, and while enjoying music on CDs (yes, I still represent the format), an overstocked iPod, and FM radio; I observed the following:
Hit Song/Bad Lyrics
Though I respect Sia as an artist and songwriter, every time I hear her following lyrics on Flo Rida's "Wild Ones," I wince in agony: If I took you home, it'd be a home run. Ouch.
(A few weeks ago I was on a 1970s music kick, so the next four observations will reflect that era. Groovy?)
Better To Burn Out Than Fade Out
For such an incredible decade of music, it's surprising that so many hit rock songs simply fade out, a production technique that is sometimes necessary, but one I despise.
Tears of a Mars
Why hasn't Bruno Mars covered Smokey Robinson & The Miracles' "Tears of a Clown" yet? It's perfect for him.
American Mraz
Don't know if Jason Mraz has ever tackled the rock classic "American Pie"—one that is over eight minutes long—but his voice shares many of the same qualities as Don McLean's. I also respect the fact that this song is filled to the brim with lyrics, instead of taking the 1970's approach to song making by including a lengthy instrumental interlude.
Jim Morrison?
Speaking of lengthy instrumental interludes, when listening to material from The Doors I always wonder what went through Jim Morrison's head during the band's long jam-outs at their live shows. (Did he ever got tired of spinning around or playing maracas while waiting for the lyrical portion of the song?)
Did He Just Say That?
Though I've heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Rain Dance Maggie" countless times, I just picked up on the following lyrics: Tick tock I want to rock you like the '80s/Cock-blocking isn't allowed. It's well known the Chili Peppers used to rock socks on their cocks, but that's the first time I can ever remember hearing a rock vocalist shout out the "cock-block" in a song.
It's the Synth Maybe
As much as I resisted it at first, I too have been infected by Carly Rae Jepsen's sugary pop hit "Call Me Maybe." After studying the track closely, I've realized that the song's key ingredient is its repetitive bursts of beefed-up, synthesized-strings. It's the first time in a long time I've done "air-synth" atop my car's dashboard.

- Start Over
New Victorian
Tommy Smythe, an HGTV star and Toronto designer, revived a historic Toronto home with what he calls the "new Victorian" look.
To acheive this style, he used classic panelled cabinets, crown moulding and tufted furniture gussied up with red accents, Deco lighting and zigzag patterns. The result is a fun family home with timeless finishes and long-lasting style. In the kitchen sitting room, full-height subway tile, patterns, a red tufted sofa and mixed metals work perfectly together.
See more photos of this home and watch Suzanne Dimma tour through the kitchen.

NY auctions off rail cars, related equipment
Posted at: 12/14/2012 8:44 AM
By: Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York has auctioned off surplus train cars and other rail equipment from a failed project to improve service between Albany and New York City for $420,000.
The state Office of General Services tells local media outlets train parts were sold Tuesday in Rotterdam and the 20 rail cars on Thursday in Scotia.
It said previously $65,000 in equipment had been sold earlier on eBay.
The state bought the trains and related gear in 1998 to provide higher-speed service along the Hudson River, but the project was scrapped because of technical problems and the inability of the tracks to support the faster trains. The OGS says storing the equipment has been costing the state $150,000 a year.

While the Big Bang wiped out all of its kind, it also endowed the single alien that was left of the entire race with a cosmic power that allowed him to absorb minds. Thus he became a powerful mind-absorbing creature that has absorbed several thousands of world before the Elders tried to stop it. Unable to defeat the Awareness the Elders searched throughout the galaxy for heroes who could stand against this universal threat. They decided to contact Deadpool to form his Deadpool Corps and together they would attempt to stop the Awareness. When the awareness notices the Deadpool Corps he tries to absorb them, but the Deadpools their minds are to chaotic and full of bull****. So he decides to use their own minds against them and have them be defeated by their own minds. Just when it seems that the Awareness has once again defeated his enemies, Headpool, who was left unnoticed by the Awareness due to being already dead, pulled the plugs and somewhat de-powered him. As a last resort the Awareness unleashed his body guard, Protector-bot, upon the Deadpool Corps, but he was quickly disabled. The Awareness pleaded for mercy from the Corps, explaining that he was the last of his kind, and his grief set him on this quest for revenge. Lady Deadpool however had no ears for this and killed him.

I try to keep this blog of interest to a broad base of people, but I hope that you will forgive me if I nerd out just for a moment. The subject is academic regalia.
As you may know, I am on the faculty of Rutgers University, Newark campus. On graduation and other special occasions, the faculty get all suited up in their caps and gowns to lead the procession. This isn't a big deal to most people, but for MFAs, it poses a special issue.
As a student, you feel like a cap is a cap and a gown is a gown. But in faculty land, everything means something. The Masters robe looks really different from the Doctoral robe. The upside is the the Masters robe has the little wings where you can store a paperback or your iPod. The downside is that wearing a Masters robe in a sea of Doctors makes you look like an intern.
Well, I just found out that since the MFA is a terminal Masters degree, we are get to wear the Doctoral robe, but we wear a slightly different hood. (If you care, here are the specs– Doctorate robe with black velvet, Masters hood, and 4-corner tam.)
Now that I know that I can wear a dignified get-up to commencement, I had to decide whether to keep on renting from the bookstore or should I just go and buy my own. The bookstore rental is about $70– and it's sort of like renting a tux, kinda B-team. To buy my own is between $500 and $1200, depending on the level of fabulosity.
To buy my own there are some choices. I can go with the plain black– but then you have to choose the right fabric. Keep in mind, this garment will be used for life so you don't want something that's not going to breathe. Then, there are school colors.
I am sure you have been to graduation and seen a few faculty members wearing a red robe or a purple robe or something. Well, those are the colors of the school she graduated from with her final degree. (Here is a whole list; scroll over the name of your school to see the official robe.). The only draw back is that your school might have an ugly combo. (Oh Princeton!) My MFA institution is Arizona State. The robe is fine. (I should have gone to Michigan because I love that blue!) The whole get-up is $900.
I must say that I felt a little jealous of my colleagues who told me that they have special robes because their parents gave it to them as a special graduation gift when they completed their degrees. (One Yalie's dad gave her a deluxe robe with fur trim! By my research, $1700!!)
I am the daughter of two PhDs who didn't understand the MFA as an equivalent degree. I think they thought of it as a MA with salt and pepper and worried that I would never get a job in the first place, let alone be strutting around in custom regalia!
I'm thinking to go for the ASU regalia, though I wish I could wear the colors of my undergraduate institution. If the gown is supposed to show where you got your education, Spelman is where I learned everything I needed to know.
(Photo is of me wearing borrowed regalia when I addressed the freshmen at Georgia College and State University.)

BaitBus: Straight men getting busy with gay sex.
The BaitBus returns with another man's ass to fuck. Doug ran up to the BaitBus scaring the shit out of me, Vanessa and Rod. Excited, thinking we were the BangBus. We played along with him. He does support BangBros after all. Doug hopped in without hesitation. We told him since he follows us we'll let Vanessa suck his cock. Doug blind-folded and all. He whipped out his cock. Damn! Doug got a big dick. That's what the BaitBus loves. Rod decided to suck it instead of Vanessa. Doug was pissed when the blind-fold came off. His cock got hard from a dude sucking it. Never felt a blow-job like this before. Then emotions ran high, but we got to shoot our update. After all, this is the BaitBus!

Boeing bully corporation
Re: your April 28 article, "Boeing prevails; state cleanup law is struck down":
As a neighbor of the Boeing site at Santa Susana Field Laboratory, I take umbrage that the Boeing representative uses the argument that it should not be treated any differently than any other site in California.
What other sites in California have had a partial nuclear meltdown? That fact certainly puts Boeing in a special category, requiring special cleanup standards. After the long struggle to get SB990 enacted, I am appalled that Boeing thinks it is above the law and shows no regard for thoroughly cleaning up this terribly polluted site that has been the cause of many health problems in the community.
Shame on this big, bully corporation!

Marissa Captures her Alaska Adventure Cruise on Video
- 1885 days ago
- 0
Continuing my love affair with Alaska, I'm living vicariously through Adventure Lifer, Marissa, and this short clip of her adventures in Alaska. In mid-May, Marissa spent a week in the famous panhandle. Spreading her time between hiking to caves, a camping trip, taking a polar plunge, and sea kayaking in one of the last remaining frontiers, her home-base for her Alaska voyage was the 49-passenger expedition vessel, Wilderness Discoverer. And the whales were in rare form as well!
Alaska's southeast panhandle, also known as the Inside Passage, is a scattering of wildlife-rich islands, national forests, glacier-carved landscapes and secluded port towns rich in local culture. Find incredible glaciers of Tracy Arm Fjord and Glacier Bay National Park. Cities like Sitka and Petersburg offer an eclectic variety of cultures for historic Russian whaling stations to a traditional Scandinavian fishing community. The nutrient rich waters of Frederick Sound and Point Adolphus provide ideal habitat for humpback whales and orcas -- wildlife enthusiasts and scientists (and Adventure Lifers) alike, flock to the area to admire the abundant whale populations.
Welcome home Marissa!

Sluggish, Unhappy Employees Aren't Good For Any Business' Bottom-lineJul 16, 2015 8:49:19 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
When choosing the computer workstation furniture for their offices, not enough employers consider how their employees' posture will affect the business' bottom-line. Instead, too many business owners only think about how the furniture they buy will influence their bottom-line and, thus, look for furniture with the lowest price tags possible.
But, if more employers took the time to consider how sitting for extended periods of time kills employees' work productivity and negatively affects moods, they would realize that investing in standing desks and ergonomic chairs is a totally worthwhile business decision.
Sitting Drains Energy & Affects Productivity
A study conducted in support of the Take-a-Stand Project showed that workers feel more energetic and productive when they're not sitting at a desk all day. Poor posture can make you feel uncomfortable and sluggish, which means you will spend more time fidgeting in your chair or trying to focus than you will actually working on the task at hand. If you want to avoid that afternoon slump where everyone's productivity tanks, provide your staff with standing desks that allow them to easily change their position throughout the day.
Less Sitting Promotes a Happier Workplace
In a study out of the University of Tasmania, on the psychological impacts of sitting all day, researchers found that workplaces where employees didn't sit for longer than three hours each day had lower rates of anxiety and depression. It goes without saying that both of these bi-products of prolonged sitting can and do affect work productivity and can lead to greater numbers of sick days, too. If this is the case and all that's needed to create a happier, healthier workplace is a change in computer workstation furniture, it seems like switching to standing desks should be a fairly obvious business decision.
If you're ready to improve productivity levels and the overall mood at your workplace, take a minute to browse the selection of Biomorph standing desks. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or would like to learn more about a particular product.
Work Productivity & Health Don't Just Improve When You Stand Rather than Sit - Movement MattersMay 12, 2015 2:00:00 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
There's a great deal of well-supported research demonstrating how health and work productivity dramatically improve when people spend less time sitting in chairs. Standing desks, like those in our line of premium, ergonomic office furniture, allow users to adjust their workstations, thereby reducing the number of hours they spend seated each day. But the key to better health and improved efficiency isn't just about standing while you work - it's about moving.
You're probably thinking that it would be nearly impossible for you to incorporate more movement into your day if you work at a computer and are expected to get anything done. In actuality, however, there are several clever ways you can not only limit the amount of time you spend sitting by converting your adjustable office desk to the standing position, but also increase the amount of moving you do, while you work.
Schedule Time with Your Adjustable Office Desk
Even those with an adjustable office desk can lose track of time and forget to adjust their desk and change their position. By simply scheduling time to stand, you can incorporate more movement into your day. Some people set alarms on their smart phones or use other helpful devices like the Wellness Switch, which reminds you when to stand and tracks the number of minutes you spend standing. This switch will even tell you how many calories you burned at the end of each day.
Move When You Stand to Work
Instead of just standing still while using your adjustable office desk (which can be just as uncomfortable as sitting for long periods of time), take the opportunity to stretch and move your legs. Knee bends, shifting your weight back and forth, swaying and even rolling your shoulders are all good ways to incorporate a little more movement while you work.
Pair Standing Desks with 'Active' Seats
Believe it or not, there are actually chairs and stools available that allow you to easily maintain movement and optimal posture while you sit at your desk. The Saddle Stool from Humanscale, for instance, keeps muscles engaged and active while you're seated. Moving from side to side at your workstation also helps to maintain circulation in your legs and keeps you alert.
If you're ready to reduce the health risks associated with the way you work and are looking to step up your productivity, start adding more movement to your work day. To begin, equip your workspace with an adjustable office desk that gets you up out of your seat and working from a more comfortable and healthful position. For information on what you'll need for a more active way to work, please call us: (888) 302-DESK.
Prolonged Sitting at Your Job Can Damage and Weaken MusclesSep 26, 2013 1:05:34 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
As technology increases, so do jobs that require long periods of sitting, typing, and gazing at computer screens. If you sit more than six hours at your job on a daily basis, you may be doing much more damage to your body than you realize, particularly to your muscles. Even if you sit at an ergonomic computer desk, sitting for long periods can damage the muscles in your hips, legs, and even your arms. Throughout the day, if you sit without frequent breaks, fail to stretch, or do other movements that have a positive affect on your body, working out before or after work likely won't be enough to reverse the muscle break down or atrophy.
How Muscle Damage Occurs
Working at an ergonomic computer desk is a step in the right direction as far as avoiding sitting-related illness, but you still need to move around during the day to prevent long-term damage to a number of muscle groups. The major cause of this is gravity, which pulls down on your body as you sit and puts pressure on muscles in your hips and legs. Since the human body wasn't meant to be locked in a sitting position for hours on end, you may notice that daily aches and pains are growing worse the longer you sit. While an ergonomic computer desk can help alleviate some of these aches, you should take these pains as a warning that you're not taking enough breaks from sitting, and need to strongly consider switching to an adjustable standing desk.
Muscle Atrophy and Sitting
Even when you sit at an ergonomic computer desk, your muscles remain slack and are constantly being subjected to the pressure of the weight of your own body bearing down on them. This is especially true of the muscles in your torso, belly, and upper legs. The more weight they are subjected to, the more damage that is done. Additionally, when you sit for long periods of time, the less blood blow there is for the hips and legs. This can lead to muscle atrophy, numbness, and pain that may eventually be permanent. An ergonomic computer desk can help you to sit more correctly and improve your blood flow, but your muscles will suffer from atrophy the longer you sit. The only solution is an adjustable standing desk and more frequent breaks. When muscles become flabby, they can suffer damage more easily than if they were toned.

Stand Up to Work: It Could Save Your LifeSep 9, 2013 7:09:24 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
If you haven't heard of stand up desks, adjustable office furniture is increasingly recommended by health practitioners to those who have to work at desks for prolonged periods of time. Instead of sitting for hours on end, which has been shown to contribute to a number of health issues, adjustable desks from Biomorph offer their users the flexibility of changing their work environment at the push of a button or the turn of a crank handle.
All of the desks and chairs in Biomorph's offering were designed according to what's best ergonomically-speaking for those who use them. The thing about office furniture, and that which makes it even more important for desks and chairs to be made adjustable, is that it's not always the same people using a workstation. A person who is short in stature won't have the same workstation requirements as someone who is over six feet tall, whether they wish to stand up and work or sit. With Biomorph sit to stand desks, however, people of all different shapes and sizes can comfortably work from either a sitting or standing position.
Reducing the amount of time you spend sitting, in an effort to prevent this position's detrimental health effects, isn't as simple as taking a few more trips to the water cooler or surfacing to quickly stretch every couple of hours. Having the option to stand up while working can and will do good things for your health while also improving your productivity. To learn more about the benefits of a stand up desk from Biomorph, call us at 888-302-DESK.
You Owe it to Yourself! Change Your Posture, Improve Productivity & Your HealthSep 9, 2013 7:06:57 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
When you're sitting at a desk for hours every day, you likely aren't thinking about how your work position is affecting your posture, how that posture is affecting your productivity and what sitting in general for long periods of times is doing for your overall health.
If you were to own a sitting and standing desk, one of the top of the line adjustable desks carried by Biomorph, you would experience both the immediate and long-term benefits of working in a position that's better suited for good health and better productivity.
When you have the option to change up your work position, say from sitting to standing, you provide your body with a much-needed break from a posture that's unnatural and, over the long-run, exceptionally hard on your body. It's amazing how quickly productivity can decline when a person is uncomfortable or has remained in the same position for too long. By simply adjusting the Biomorph desk to a standing position, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your productivity and your comfort.
Over the long-term, reducing the amount of time you spend sitting can and will lower your risk of a variety of diseases like diabetes and heart disease, not to mention the countless physical injuries that can result from too much time sitting at a desk.
Do something positive for your work environment. Improve your posture with a sitting and standing desk from Biomorph and enjoy the benefits for years to come! Call us at 888-302-DESK for more information on our line of products.

Home Office Computer Desks that Could Save Your LifeSep 9, 2013 6:13:57 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
It's hard to imagine something as simple as a computer desk saving your life, but as more and more studies demonstrate that sitting for extended periods of time at desks can lead to a whole host of health problems, it's time people gave more thought to their home office computer desks, as well as those they use at their workplaces.
Oftentimes, people's excuses for buying whatever is cheap or on sale for their home computer desks is that they don't spend nearly as much time in their home office as they do at their place of employment. While it's true that any person who sits at a desk for long periods of time at the office should, without a doubt, upgrade their furniture to that which is ergonomic and adjustable, it's just as important that their home office furniture be the best-suited for their body size and build but also able to adjust to allow for a standing position.
Having an adjustable computer desk at home will not only allow for every member of your family to work comfortably but to also change their position from sitting to standing, because chances are most people greatly underestimate the number of hours each week they sit at their home office computer desks.
Be proactive about your health and don't let too much time sitting at a desk that's ill-suited for your shape increase your risk of some potentially serious health problems. Call Biomorph at 888-302-DESK for more information on our full range of ergonomic furniture.
We've Got the Best Possible Solution for Maximizing Space in Your Home OfficeSep 9, 2013 6:01:53 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Most home offices are either small in size or are multi-purpose rooms that regularly have a variety of different furniture and people squeezed into the space, at one time. There are a whole host of things for which people use the computer desk in their home, but the one thing that every home office has in common is the need for functional, comfortable office furniture that maximizes space.
When it comes to offices at home, corner computer desks provide a space-saving solution. When they're tucked neatly in the corner of your home office, a corner computer desk provides a practical surface on which to work while also minimizing the amount of wasted space. When you choose a corner desk like that from Biomorph's Plus Series, you can further maximize your use of the space with a desk that has two levels, one on which to keep your computer monitor and the other for typing and/or writing.
One of the biggest misconceptions about the home office is that any quality of furniture will suffice. Cheap, poorly designed desks, however, wear out long before they should and don't provide their users with comfortable or functional work spaces. With Biomorph's corner computer desks, your entire family can work comfortably on a work surface that was designed to maximize productivity, provide you with the best-possible fit and look great too. When you buy a Biomorph desk, you make a long-term investment that benefits your health and the work you do.
Call us at 1-888-302-DESK for help finding the perfect desk for your home or workplace office.
You Won't Find the Perfect Corner Computer Desk for Home or Work at a Big Box StoreSep 9, 2013 5:58:58 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
While it's true that any computer desk offered by Biomorph will make a great a workstation for your home or office, a corner desk could be just the space-saving solution you've been searching for. When you choose to place a desk in the corner of your home or workplace office, you maximize the use of your space without compromising the size of the work surface.
While a corner computer desk for home or work can be found at virtually any big box office furniture store, there's a significant difference in the quality and the level of function that's possible with a corner desk from Biomorph. While chain stores only offer a few different types of corner computer desks, many of the desks offered at Biomorph are available in corner styles. This means that whether you plan to use your corner desk in your tiny home office or require a large desk with enough space to work while also accommodating multiple computer monitors, you can find exactly what you're looking for at our NYC showroom.
While having options in terms of style and size are important when buying a corner desk, the fact that Biomorph desks are completely adjustable and even convert to allow their users to work from a standing position is what separates Biomorph corner desks from the rest.
If you're in the market for a desk that will be a welcomed addition to your home or workplace office, visit our NYC showroom to see and experience the full potential of the incredible lines of office furniture offered at Biomorph.
Your Home Office is Worthy of an Adjustable Desk from BiomorphSep 9, 2013 5:48:32 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Unlike those used in office buildings or other workplaces, people often give little thought to comfort or practicality when purchasing computer desks for home. Why spend the money on home office furniture like computer desks when you may not be using your home office for hours on end, like you would your desk at work?
In actuality, your home office may be used a lot more than you think by the various members of your family. Your kids may use this area to do their home work while you may use it for completing work projects and assignments after hours, for personal purposes like emailing, uploading and organizing pictures, for visiting social media sites, or managing household finances, etc. The truth is, the furniture you use in your office at home should possess all of the characteristics of the computer desks or workstations you use at your office or place of employment. That is, of course, if you wish to reduce your risk of injury and other health issues that are caused by prolonged sitting.
By investing the money and opting for a Biomorph computer desk, you will not only have the freedom to easily adjust your workstation to accommodate different members of your family, but you will also be assured a high quality, durable piece of furniture that was built to last.
