In a hurry?
Students receiving their undergraduate degree in civil engineering from Montana State University may take advantage of a concurrent schedule of undergraduate and graduate classes starting the senior year, allowing a B.S. degree and a M.S. degree to be obtained in a total of ten semesters of study.
Please, tell me more…
Plan "A" students may apply up to ten credits of CE 590 – Master's Thesis towards the 30 credit minimum requirement. Plan "B" students may apply up to six credits of CE 575 – Professional Paper towards the 30 credits. The majority of the students opt for Plan "B" with two or three credits of CE 575, thus maximizing their exposure to class materials that will be directly applicable in the work place. Plan "A" students prefer a heavier research component.
What About Research?
If research is an area of interest, you will also find opportunities to perform in-depth studies of a particular structural topic as well as financial help in terms of an assistantship. Our research topics tend to be practical in nature, allowing the faculty and student researcher the satisfaction of impacting the every-day civil engineering design practice.
How do Assistantships factor in?
The typical student qualifies for financial assistance in the form of teaching or research assistantships. Our undergraduate curriculum provides graduate students with an interest in teaching the opportunity to lead and manage laboratories, facilitate help sessions, grade homework and exams, and assist in the classroom.
ASCE News – January 2008: "Key Points About ASCE Policy Statement 465: A primary goal is to effect changes in state licensing requirements, standardizing the concept of a bachelor's degree plus either a masters degree, or 30 credits as a prerequisite for licensure in the future."
The Department of Civil Engineering at Montana State University offers a Master of Science degree in civil engineering with a structural emphasis, targeted at qualified students seeking an advanced degree for professional practice. The goal of the program is to develop well-rounded structural engineering practitioners, for which the civil engineering workplace is currently seeing an increased demand. To quote from ASCE's Committee on Academic Prerequisites for Professional Practice: "The bottom-line issue addressed by PS 465 is that, "It is evident that the exploding body of science and engineering knowledge cannot be accommodated within the context of the tradidiotnal four-year baccalaureate degree".
The masters program builds on a well-rounded undergraduate civil engineering curriculum, allowing a more in-depth study of structural engineering topics and related fields. Specifically, the program focuses on:
Emphasis is placed on current design practices and underlying theories, utilizing the latest design codes and state-of-the-art software. Advanced research topics are integrated in the course work, keeping the students and faculty abreast with recent developments while maintaining the practical tie to consulting engineering.
Development of strong oral and written communication skills along with the technical skills is another cornerstone of the curriculum. Students make frequent presentations and summarize designs/solutions according to professional technical writing standards.
What do we offer?
The curriculum is flexible enough to accommodate varying timelines, with three semesters of study being most common. Assuming a background of two undergraduate level classes related to structural analysis and introductory concrete/steel design, a graduate program will consist of a minimum of 30 semester credits from the following list of offerings:
A Few More Notes. . .
Most graduate students are assigned office space in the engineering buildings on campus. Access to campus networked computer stations is provided. Our structural graduate students are a cohesive group, often collaborating on group projects and course assignments as well as enjoying the camaraderie in social settings.
Excellent facilities and a caring, knowledgeable faculty make Montana State University a large enough university to offer exceptional quality and diversity while maintaining the personal touch of a small school.
If you think Montana State University and its structural engineering program are for you, please contact us. We would be delighted to visit with you further about the possibility of you joining us.

At Pat Falvey army boot camp we have put a number of teams through this rigerous weekend training program specially designed to help in the areas of communication, focus, attention to details, planning and following through on objectives set.
Bear Island:
This weekend our Island boot camp was help on Bear Island and Highfield rugby club went through their paces on last weekend 17 to 19 September.
outside comfort zone:
They were met by the instructors at 19:00 hrs on Friday night. No sooner had they disembarked they were made to run 4km with bag in hand to the camp. There they were given their bed in the tent. First on the agenda was night navigation around the island. They returned to a welcomed cup of soup and sandwich. The team went through the briefing for the weekend. Then retired to try and sleep for the night.
Up at 05.00 given map and coordinates they had to search out their food for breakfast. So were lucky others were not but everyone shared what they had found. After all were fed it was down to business. Each was given 25kg packs and made run the 5km run to the first tower. When they got there they thought they had finished but this was not to be, they had to run to the other tower as well. Next evaluation was the water confidence training instruction. This was to build up there confidence in tough and hostile environment. After this was the assault course, stretcher run, and finished up with some close quarter combat.
Dinner was bush craft style with Rabbit, Pigeon, and Deer on the menu. All had to be skinned, butchered and cooked by the team. After dinner they did more navigation and finished with some field pt. Lights out 24.00 were they tired.
Up Sunday morning at 08.00 for 8km run with 25kg sandbags to White cross. There they took part in a debriefing and self evaluation on the weekend. After this there were then ran back down to camp to a surprise full Irish Breakfast. The camp finished with a march back to the ferry at 12.00.
"It was agreed by all that if they fail in their goal the would be back and it would be tougher"
Objectives for the weekend were, Improve Communication, Discipline, Fitness, Teamwork, Self belief.

David did an absolutely fantastic job on two projects he developed for a company and non-profit with which I am involved. We were introduced on recommendation and found David to repeatedly go above and beyond the scope to ensure we were satisfied with the end product. Heartily recommend David, both his character and his work.
I work with David on a few project in South Bend. His knowledge in respect to audio and video is top-notch in the area. He has multiple levels of experience and produces constant quality productions and recordings.
When it comes down to choosing someone who is adaptable to almost every situation, David Stillson steps up in that area. He is very universal in his talents and skills as a media company.
A. The best advice I can give is to really look at a potential company's media portfolio. Make sure that the work they produce is already similar to what your vision may be for the quality of product you are looking to have made.
A. A potential buyer should have an idea of the budget they have for their project. Most times, a video production has costs involved such as props, lighting, location rentals, and other equipment rentals. Knowing your budget can help a production company give you the best possible result for your money.
A. We know that our work shows the world what we can do. Everything we produce has to meet a high standard of excellence. We have raised the bar on ourselves many times because we want to stand out against the competition. We also want this process to be fun. We strive to have a stellar relationship with all of our clients.
A. For me, the moment I get to show a client their final project. The gratitude and positive energy is infectious.
A. As an independent film maker, I am always studying the latest and greatest techniques to achieve the most professional and cinematic looking shots. I am also constantly learning with tutorials and study guides on how to work with the latest and greatest software. Things are always changing, so I always keep myself updated on the latest production methods.
A. Most of the labor involved in any production is the post-production (editing) period. So pricing often varies based on how much editing needs to be done. If you wanted a scene with fully animated characters, you'll pay a lot more than a live action scene filmed with real actors. If you want fancier flashy titles and crazy explosions, it's not out of the question, it just takes longer to bring those ideas to the screen. It all comes down to your project's budget, and what you want to accomplish with the end product.

Hi, I'm quite new about unity and I cannot figure out how to make my camera move and rotate at the same time when I click a specific button on my interface.
Let me explain more in detail what I need.
I've added a GUI interface in my project and when I press a specific button, I want that my camera makes a smooth movement while adjusting its rotation (and maybe its field of view). The problem is that all those translations and rotations happen along more than one axes:
I've found a lot of information about how to make GameObjects move or rotate using mouse coordinates, but not one matched my need. Does someone know how to solve this problem with a script?
this is the function I wrote
It is triggered by one of the buttons in my GUI and it realize only a smooth translation. Do you know how can I improve it to have also the rotation?
asked Nov 18, 2011 at 11:42 PM
The method you are using here to translate the movement target is entirely in world space, which is good because if the object rotates, that won't affect its movement direction.
You can Lerp rotation in a similar way to how you are Lerping the position. Check out Quaternion.Lerp and Quaternion.Slerp (http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Quaternion.html). You can then lerp from a current rotation to a new rotation.
If you are unsure how quaternions work, you can probably get by without knowing the internals of it all. There are a few static Quaternion functions that you can use to create a quaternion that represents a rotation direction. For example, Quaternion.Euler(x,y,z) will give you a Quaternion that represents a rotation with the given x,y,z angles.
You could then say something like
answered Nov 21, 2011 at 05:52 PM
Thank you for the answer.
In the meanwhile I've found the iTween library, that is really easy to use and allows me to do the movements that I need.

Welcome from another somewhat newbie. I haven't been a major participant on this forum, but have been lurking for a few months. I live in the rainy big city in Oregon, but grew up in MT..........
Thanks guys, and I'm shocked this site has so many Oregonians! Figured there would be just a couple. Site is pretty cool so far. Now I need to draw a tag worth talking about!
welcome to the forum. I was blown away was I realized this forum was here. I have been an Eastmans subscriber for years, but never went to web site and noticed the forum until last summer. what a dummy!!
Quit bagging on Beagles. They are hunting machines. Just the other day, my beagles spent 4 hrs on the scent of a wiley rat, and actually caught it. I live a little south of Molalla in the oak country. When I moved out where we are now, i had a neighbor call in a panic because they thought my dogs were caught in a fence. They have had to get used to the sound of a wild pack of beagles on a hot trail. "my Babies".
Try not to go to the forum when you supposed to be working. I tend to lose track of time, and then i have to work late.Attachment 5419

Other than a great press conference melt down, there are few things more entertaining than when a celebrity, or quasi-celebrity, completely embarrasses himself by screwing up a first pitch. When that person is a member of the Howard Stern radio show, well that's even better.

Peele: Does violence on TV promote violence?
Recently, there have been a number of meetings between TV executives and reporters. These meetings were the result of recent massacres, particularly the Newtown killings. A question posed by the reporters was whether any of the executives had plans to reduce the violence shown on TV.
The answer was no.
Robert Greenblatt, who will bring a reprise of Hannibal Lecter (the diabolical killer in "The Silence of the Lambs") does not believe TV violence has any effect on the behavior of the public. The video games like "Mortal Combat" and "Call of Duty" have scenes of graphic and gory death and destruction that goes way beyond sane behavior. These kinds of video games will continue. In my opinion, they will get even worse.
Paul Lee, ABC entertainment president, responded to the question by saying that ABC has strong standards for what it broadcasts -- stronger than the other networks. So he has no plans to change the violence shown on his network.
Some organizations that advocate reduced violence on TV allege that there are many studies that show that violence on TV produces increased violence by the public. This is not true, for some of the studies were faulty. However, an examination of all the studies together gives a strong indication that TV violence is one of the things that is producing more and more violence by the public.
A great number of people in the US strongly disapprove of the violence on TV. This is particularly true of parents with young children. Unfortunately, this group has not been strong enough to counter the tendency of TV executives to show more and more violence.
This is a good time for these people to increase the pressure on TV networks and advertisers to reduce the violence.
There are many organizations that oppose excessive TV violence. Here are four:
1. The Dove Foundation. They give the Dove certificate of approval to those movies and shows that are family oriented. They do good work, and are helpful to parents who want to keep their children away from salacious movies. However, their work is not sufficient to stop the increased media violence
2. ACT. Adults and Children Together. This organization is sponsored by the American Psychological Association. It is a violence-prevention group focusing on parenting – not emphasizing prevention of TV violence. Neither Dove nor ACT has a rating by "Charity Navigator."
3. Parents Television Council (PTC). It actively opposes TV violence. Although Charity Navigator only gives them a one-star rating, the information they give on their web page indicates to me that overall, they do a good job.
The PTC's list of the "Top Ten Best and Worst Advertisers" is based on each company's prime time broadcast television ad buys during the 2011-2012 television season. The best ones are more family-oriented. Here is their list of the best advertisers:
1. Ford
2. Procter & Gamble (Tide, Crest, Downy, etc.)
3. General Mills (Cheerios, Pillsbury, etc.)
4. Nissan
5. Wal-Mart
6. Clorox
8. Brinker International (Chili's, etc.)
9. Wendy's
10. SC Johnson and Coca-Cola (tied)
Their list of the worst advertisers:
1. Yum!
2. Toyota
3. Metro PCS
4. Sprint
5. Red Bull
6. Target
7. McDonald's
8. CKE Restaurant (Hardee's, etc.)
9. PepsiCo
10. Apple
Can one person make a difference? Yes. Donald Wildmon, a former pastor, did it.
In 1977, Wildmon created an organization now called American Family Association (AFA). He caused some TV programs to be removed from the air. If we go back to the late 1970s and l980s, and look at the programs that were considered too violent or immoral then, we will be surprised. This is because those programs are no longer considered unacceptable at all. We not only see no harm in them but now accept them with open arms. One example: M*A*S*H.
Wildmon resigned in 2010. The AFA is still in existence and has 200 radio stations. However, they have shifted their main goal from violence on TV to various moral issues affecting the family.
Does violence on TV promote violence among those that watch it?

During my research at the Library of Virginia last month I was able to copy more than one hundred pages of wills, deeds, marriage records, even voting lists. This page, from Lancaster County (VA) Deed Book 34, p. 159, may be my favorite. Other pages have more information but here, in separate entries, two of my husband's 3rd great-grandfathers are named.
Lancaster County to wit --
We John Meredith and James Harding Justices of the peace in the County aforesaid in the State of Virginia do hereby certify that Elizabeth Vowell, the wife of Valentine H. Vowell parties to a certain deed bearing date the 8th day of March 1833 and hereto annexed, personally appeared before us in our County aforesaid and being examined by us privily and apart from her husband and having the deed aforesaid fully explained, She the said Elizabeth Vowell acknowledged the Same to be her act and deed and declared that She has willingly, Signed SEaled and delivered the Same, and that she wishes not to retract
it--Given under our hands and seals this 15th day of March 1833.
Jno: MeredithJames HardingAt a Court held for the County of Lancaster on the 15th day of April 1833
The deed from Valentine H. Vowell and Elizabeth his wife to William Gresham was proved in open court by the oaths Ezekiel G. Shearman and Robert H. Tapscott two of the witnesses thereto --
and at a Court held for the County of Lancaster on the 20th day of May following the said deed was further and fully proved by the oath of William Boyd the other witness thereto - and together with the Justices certificate of the privy examination of the Said Elizabeth was ordered to be recorded --

For and in Consideration of the Sum of one Hundred and fifty Dols: to me in hand paid, I have this day bargained and sold unto Cols: Armstead J. Palmer all my right, title claim interest and demand that I now have or hereafter expect to have in the personal Estate of Joseph Carter Jr: decd the right to Said property I warrant and defend unto Said Palmer free from the claims of all and every person or person whatever -- as witness my hand and Seal this 15th day of Feby: 1833.
Robert C Clarke Jno: Lunsford {seal}
At a court held for the County of Lancaster on the 20th day of May 1833
This Instrument of writing from John Lunsford to Armstead J. Palmer was acknowledged in open Court by the Said Lunsford and Ordered to be recorded --.
Teste, Benjamin M Walker c c
Notes: There is an Ancestry.com marriage record for Jno Jr. Lunsford to Lettice L. Carter on 17 Nov. 1817 in Lancaster County. One online tree names her as a daughter of a Joseph Carter who died in 1815, but Joseph Lyon Miller's The Descendents of Capt. Thomas Carter of Barford, Lancaster County, Virginia... names different children (p. 357). I am curious what if any relationship existed between Palmer and the Carter family since Palmer's son purchased a large tract of land from the family in 1843.
This is the first reference I have for John Meredith serving as a Justice of the Peace.

Can this bed be used with a high-profile (9") box spring and mattress (king)?
Nice looking bedframe and $400 cheaper than the furniture store! Assembling the frame was a little confusing and the wood for the underframe was not stained, just raw pine. That could be improved. If I had had more time I would have stained or painted the pieces before I assembled the bed. Otherwise, it looks nice and at the right price....

Bed not of the best quality. Headboard has already split on top rail. I love Overstock, but this purchase was not as hoped for.Read More
The footboard of this bed arrived with a huge gash in it. Called up and within 3 days had a new one. Great customer service. This bed is way more sturdy than one would think. Looks marvelous. Not to manly or feminine. Recommend this bed.Read More
Bed is great - delivery not so much
We really do love our new frame. It's beautiful. Watch your shins - the footboard is very painful and sticks Out pretty far. The delivery service was very frustrating. Overall it took 6 weeks to arrive, two of which it was sitting in a warehouse 2 hours away from our home. We got dozens of animated calls all saying the same thing for weeks. They did not put together as I was informed they would but they did carry up one flight of stairs.Read More
Pleased With Purchase!
Decided to go on a whim and buy a bed from online. Didn't really like this idea because everything looks different in person. Reading all the good reviews about it I decided to just do it. So happy I decided to go through with this purchase. First off the picture really does no justice for this bed. The color is much more darker compared to the picture which was just as well because it matched my existing furniture in my room. The quality of the wood is awesome. There was no damage to any part of the bed, the delivery was phenomenal. Didn't take that long for it to get delivered either. One thing I would suggest with buying the bed would be to make sure you buy or already have a low profile box spring. When we put the standard size box spring with mattress the bed was sooo high. I literally had to climb into it. My Boyfriend liked it because he is very tall. But I would definitely recommend having the low one. Gladly I was able to switch the box springs with the company I bought them from with no issue. Everything about this purchase was great! would recommend to everyone.Read More
Great buy
We had been sleeping with our new mattress and box spring on the floor for about a year while I looked for the perfect bed and finally found it. This is a great looking bed, solid but not imposing, and obviously very well made. The quality is similar to that of Cost Plus World Market. I expected a lighter color (the actual color is slightly darker, more like a medium brown) but it still looks very upscale. Although the description said "mission" style, I think it's more contemporary Asian. It was delivered 2.5 weeks after I placed the order and came in 2 flat boxes. I was able to assemble the entire bed by myself in 1.5 hrs - would've been a lot faster with another person but I wanted it to be a surprise for my husband. All in all, this is a great piece of furniture that I envision will last a long time.Read More
Great Look, Great Value
We got a great deal on this bed. It took us only about an hour to put together, and it looks absolutely beautiful in our room. We've gotten a lot of compliments. The bed was easy to put together, it did not take long at all (~1hr). This bed is a great value, we are so happy with our purchase! One of the pieces did have a fairly large scratch on it, but it wasn't on a side that showed so we didn't bother exchanging it.Read More
Love this bed
I love love love this bed. I had not bought anything so important on-line before and was very leary about it. I was happily surprised over the entire expirience. The bed shipped within a week, and arrived without any damage. The bed was not very difficult to put together and looks as good as pictured.Great quality!Read More
Great bed
I am very happy with this bed. It's a solid, attractive bed with a great color and design, and it cost a third of the comparable beds I was looking at. The bed arrived within a week of when I ordered it, and I could not be happier. Highly recommended!Read More
Avery King-size Bed
I spent so much time redoing our master bedroom, that I took a gamble ordering our bed from Overstock; I truly wanted everything to be perfect...this bed didn't disappoint. Its lines and the quality of wood give our room a clean, classic design. My husband loves the way it looks, because it is warm, yet masculine...just like he is:)Read More

What is the distance between the floor and the bottom of the frame on the sides?
Hello rchnts, unfortunately, this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us. A.S.
Can this bed be used with just a 13" memory foam mattress without a boxspring?
Hello Marthamich, this will need a box spring, as it only comes with 5 support slats. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
Can I order replacement parts (such as side rails and support beams)? Some were broken and others lost during our move.
Hello jbowzer9183, I am sorry to hear you have broken parts of your bed. You will be contacted by Customer Care for further assistance on this issue. Thanks for shopping with us.
The material says wood. What kind of wook is it? Is it oak, or is only the finish oak-colord?
The wood is not anything like oak. It is a smooth grain wood but is stained a good match for my existing oak furniture.
Hello shoppergeorg, I really like this bed! This is rubber wood, with some plywood and veneer parts. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
On Aug 12 you answered that a California King mattress fits this bed. But a California King mattress is 4 inch longer than a regular King mattress. Are you certain that this 4inch longer mattress really fits?
I received this bed this morning (9-18-2013) and began to assemble it. Assembly went well. However, the foundations did not fit into the frame. I then discovered the width is too wide for my foundations. This means they have sent me an Eastern King when I requested and verified with them that they were selling it as a Cal King. Now I am very "peeved" with this purchase!!!! Please see my original question below.
Hello waynecolly, I sincerely apologize that this bed did not fit your foundation and that we weren't more clear about what size mattress it fits. We are currently working with our Support Team to confirm and update this information on-site. I do see that you're working with Customer Care to get your issue resolved. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. We appreciate your feedback and your business with Overstock.com.
Hello shoppergeorg, This bed is beautiful! I apologize for the confusion; I have confirmed with our support team that this bed is actually an Eastern King size. We are currently working on updating this information. Thanks for shopping with us.
There are several sizes of King Mattreses. We have a California King set. Does this bed fit this size King Mattres?
Hello waynecolly, Yes, this bed fit this size King mattress. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Hi waynecolly, did you end up buying this bed. Did the California King mattress fit? It is 4inch longer than a regular King and I therefore wonder how it could fit.
Does this style bed have a matching dresser or nightstand?
Hello ashjames1, Unfortunately, we do not have a matching dresser or nightstand. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com; let us know if you have any additional questions.
Hi, can you please tell me how high the slats and cross-supports are off the floor? In other words how high will the box spring be sitting? thanks.
Hello mattinthehat, thank you for your interest in the Avery King-size Bed. The box springs will be sitting approximately 7.5 inches off the floor. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
Where is this bed made?
Thank you for your interest in the Avery King-size Bed. It was made in Viet Nam. Thank you for shopping with us!
What tools would I need to put this bed together? Can it be done by one person?
Thank you for your question. Yes this can be put together by 1 person. Its helpful if you are able to put the head board up against a wall and then put on the rails. You would just need standard house hold tools.
How are the slats supported? Do they rest on a lip on the side rails? If so, will the lip be strong enough to hold both box spring and mattress plus the slats?
Thank you for the question. The slats will fit on side rails and 2 of the 5 cross supports have legs. This will support box spring, mattress and you the customer.
How high off the floor are the wood slats? I do not want a very high bed.
These slats are approximately 7 inches off the floor. I hope this helps you.
Can we fit this for our two x-long twin Sealy IComfort adjustable beds. How thick are the side rails in inches?
Thank you for contacting us,yes, our Akita bed is designed to accept Sertas (not Sealys) Icomfort base. The side rails are 7" tall, they are 3/4" thick, but the adjustable base will not be sitting on/or supported by the side rails. The adjustable base will sit on the floor, supported by it's own support legs, and will fit inside the Akita "box" made from headboard-footboard -and side rails. Again, the wood bed then in no way is attached to the adjustable bed bases. Please let me know if you have any further question.
Does this bed work well without the box spring and only using a mattress
The unit will function without a box spring. If it will work well depends on the comfort desired. This item is made with a box spring in mind.
I have a Select Comfort King bed will this bed work for my mattress?
Thank you for your interest. A king size mattress will fit this bed.
Does this bed also come in a twin size?
The smallest size this bed comes in is full.
what kind of fittings are used to connect the side rails to the head & feet?
They are connected with metal brackets, screws, and washers.
what kind of wood is the bed made of?
The bed is made of solid wood. The exact type of wood is not specified. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Can a memory foam mattress with no foundation be used on this bed?
This item needs a box spring with the mattress.

The excitement that the start of training camp brings to an NFL town is unlike any other in sports.
In baseball, the teams go to Florida or Arizona, and in other sports, the camp is shorter. But now, even though the Ravens' training isn't open to the public as much as before, the fans still are waiting and excited.
Yes, the fact that the Ravens won the Super Bowl helps. However, this is such a football town that the Ravens could be 1-15 and there'd be excitement. That's just the way it is here.
And that's one reason the Ravens -- and the Colts before them -- were so big. For whatever reason, this is a football town. No disrespect to the Orioles, but it's more of a football town.
The fans are both excited and curious about their defending champs taking the field for coach John Harbaugh. They want to see if quarterback Joe Flacco's the same now that he's got a big contract, and what running back Ray Rice looks like.
What will the 2013 Ravens look like, be like and play like? Those are questions being discussed in a lot of bars and houses and cars now. Those questions probably won't get answered until some point during the regular season.
However, one thing I read a long time ago answers this a bit. At the start of camp, every team is 0-0. It's a new start, a new beginning and a way to wipe the slate clean from 2012. That's something which makes everyone feel good everywhere.

NURBS, or non-uniform rational basis splines, are part of a 3D graphics modeling strategy used to generate curves and surfaces that are smoother than is possible with polygons. NURBS Modeling Techniques provides a thorough introduction to this modeling toolkit. The course explains the basic theory behind NURBS, starting with NURBS primitives and sculpting surfaces, and then through the modeling tools (Trim, Stitch, Project, and more) used to refine NURBS models in Maya. Author George Maestri also cover techniques from using insert isoparms to add detail, to creating arcs and text, to converting NURBS to polygons.
Hi! I'm George Maestri and welcome to Maya Essentials 3: NURBS modeling Techniques. In this course we're going to go over NURBS surface modeling in Maya. Now, a NURBS surface is basically a curved surface defined by patches. We're going to start off in the course by looking at how to create NURBS primitives and edit basic NURBS objects. After that, we'll take a look at NURBS curves, which can in turn be used to create NURBS surfaces. We are going to learn how to create curves on surfaces, we're going to trim surfaces, and we're also going to learn how to stitch surfaces together.
So with that, let's get started with Maya Essentials 3: NURBS modeling Techniques.

The Boyd Service Award is given to students who show a commitment to community service. It is named for Professor and President Emeritus Willard "Sandy" Boyd. The Boyd Service Award is presented to law students at the completion of their studies, during graduation. Recipients receive a seal on their diploma and wear cords during the graduation ceremony. Receiving the Boyd Service Award is the only way to wear cords at graduation.
Mission Statement
To recognize law students who provide volunteer services to charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental and educational organizations in furtherance of those organizations' missions to improve the community.
The level of distinction is based on the number of volunteer hours completed during a student's entire law school career, with the guidelines as follows:
- Honors: 100 hours total (at least 50 of community service)
- High Honors: 150 hours total (at least 75 of community service)
- Highest Honors: 200 hours (at least 100 of community service)
General Rules
Students graduating during the spring semester usually must record their service work for the month of April before the third Saturday preceding the start of finals. The Pro Bono Society Executive Board will confirm the final deadline each year.
The Pro Bono Society Executive Board, in making determinations on appeals, will consider factors including, but not limited to, the timeliness of the appeal and whether good cause is shown for the delay.
- Only hours accrued while enrolled as a full-time law student at the University of Iowa are considered.
- Service during summer/winter breaks included only for students enrolled full-time.
- The hours will be counted and recorded on a monthly basis. Students must record their completed service work before the 7th of the month following the month in which it was performed for it to be considered. Hours are recorded in the online Boyd Service Award system. Hours submitted after the 7th of the following month will not be counted. Students wishing to appeal whether hours qualify for the Boyd Service Award shall submit a written statement of the reason for the delay as well as the hours completed to the Pro Bono Society Executive Board for review.
- The different Honor Levels are awarded based upon students' total number of accrued hours over the course of their law school careers. Thus, students can accumulate hours regularly or all in one semester.
- All service hours are divided into two groups: community hours and institutional hours.
- Definition of Community Hours: Community hours are those hours which directly benefit recognized community organizations or non-profit, such as hospitals, Red Cross, ICPL, Crisis Center, DVC, Community Service Groups (Lions, Rotary, Eagles), etc. Students may perform community hours either at the law school or in the community, subject to the following restrictions:
- Attendance at regular group meetings are excluded;
- All service must be voluntary, uncompensated, and not compelled;
- This section of service also includes political activity, but self-campaigning is excluded entirely;
- Law school-sponsored events that directly benefit community organizations are included.
- Definition of Institutional Hours: Institutional hours are those hours that directly benefit the law school, the general University, or a student group. Organizations in this category include ISBA, EJF, ACS, ILS, ELS, BALSA, AALSA, NALSA, Christian Legal Society, Students for Choice, etc. The following restrictions apply:
- Student organization and regular group meetings are excluded, although activities beyond such meetings, such as event planning, are included;
- Attendance at social events is excluded.
- Examples:
- Community Hours
- Selling condoms at the law school to benefit a community organization.
- Participating in NOLA
- Staffing a table to benefit the animal shelter.
- Institutional Hours
- Holding a bake sale to raise funds for group operations or a social event.
- Staffing a table to sell used books, advertise Mr. Iowa Law, or hold elections.
- Designing a poster for an upcoming speaker or social event.

- Procedure for Entering Hours

This document shows how to disable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
during the preparation to install or upgrade to the Cisco VPN Client 3.5.X for
Windows on Microsoft Windows XP. You need to disable ICS if you encounter the
must disable ICS error message while you attempt
to install or upgrade to VPN Client 3.5.X.
Note: In VPN Client 3.5(1)D and later, there is an added a parameter to
ignore the ICS check prior to install. Refer to Cisco bug ID
(registered customers only)
for more information.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document is based on these software and
hardware versions.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a
specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with
a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you
understand the potential impact of any command.
For more information on document conventions, refer to the
Technical Tips Conventions.
There are three ways you can disable ICS: through the
Desktop, through the Control Panel, or
through editing the Registry.
To disable ICS through the Desktop, use the following steps.
Right Click on My Computer and select
Manage > Services and Applications.
Select Services > Internet Connection Sharing
located under ICS Firewall.
Disable Load on Startup. IPSec is also found under
In order to disable ICS through the Control Panel, use these steps.
Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Services.
Choose Services > Internet Connection Sharing
located in ICS Firewall.
If the previous steps do not work, then try to edit the registry.
It is possible that even though the Control Panel shows ICS as disabled, the
registry value could still show it as enabled. In that case you still need to
disable ICS through the registry even though you already disabled it through
the Control Panel.
In order to disable ICS through the Registry, use these steps.
Test the regkey for the existence of ICS on Windows XP. Complete
these steps:
Choose Start > Run and type
Click OK.
In the Registry Editor, double-click on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM | CurrentControlSet | Services |
Now review the DWORD value Start, where 0x2 = ICS
enabled and 0x3 = ICS disabled. If the value shows 0x2, then
right click and modify it to show 0x3. This manually forces
ICS to shut off and allows the VPN Client installation to continue.
For additional information on how to disable ICS on other Microsoft
Operating Systems, please see the following:

I had a lot of bad Chinese delivery in this town before happily stumbling upon Mr.Chen's. The food is very tasty and always fresh. The portion sizes for rice and noodle dishes are extremely generous. Their purple fried rice is just a little off the beaten path if you're craving Chinese but want to try something new and interesting. And they have the best egg drop soup I've ever had! Quality does come with a price, though: although they haven't messed up my order even once (impressive!) they always take a little longer than I expect them to.
Posted by J on 03/24/2007
I love this place. My friend and I order from here all the time. The food has always been good every time i've order from them, and i usually have it at least twice a month. I only order one thing: Crispy Steak in Orange Sauce. It's great! A must try.
Posted by Anonymous on 02/03/2007
I order from this place frequently, and the last two times have been awful. Rice was cold and gummy. Beef szechuan had a brown sauce with the worst sweet taste to it. It may be organic (and I question how much of it really is), but it doesn't taste very good.
Posted by SVT on 08/23/2006
We order quite regularly from Mr. Chen's. We've found their food to be well prepared, plentiful, and usually quite tasty. In a town with many bad Chinese restaurants, we've been very happy to find Mr. Chen's.

Best game of the year. This is what games are about not digital item sales .... This game is pure fun and fun was the goal. I hope everyone gives it a chance and makes the 20 dollar purchase. Much cheaper than Diablo 3 which is inferior to Torchlight 2.
Torchlight 2 gives you freedom to play the game you bought however you like to! I would never pay for Diablo 3 and be unable to play offline and also get a cash grab item shop for real life money thrown in my face. YUCK! Buy this game you won't regret it and you will be support game developers who make games to be fun, not solely for money grabs.

Now the trick i gave you was to test the skill you prefer and who match you're play style, but now i know you dont have one you just want the best built... You dont need to spent 15 points to know if you like a skill or not.
''I'd expect such attitude from more hardcore D3, rather casual TL2.'' What that even supposed to mean? D3 is for hadcore and TL2 is for casual? just lol.
Now you right no one force me to use it and i dont reroll either, i dont try to be the best out there i enjoy the builts i create cause they fit my play style. I take the time to read the skill and try them and i dont care if the b skill at the end is stronger than the skill c.
There is enough game out there where you dont have to customize you're own character, where everyones is the mighty powerful hero.. no one force you to reroll either, again just cheat if you're not happy with you're built. Yes there are mod who give re-spec potions with out being flag only you will know that you have cheat.

btw if you take the time to read, i didnt call the man a cheat. I simply state a fact. Anyone who take the time to test the skill and read them and choose visely, they will not have to cheat. If someone just want the best built and re-spec by using a mod just to do more dps at the end, again this is cheating.
Runics doesnt have to change anything, the game is great has it is. Yeah that my opnion.

too lazy to read everything but for the person that says using respec labels u as a cheater learn to think outside the box.
make a respec potion on a level 1 character transfer that to yourself. and look u respec without cheating!?
or u can use hex editor and editor ur save file delete the last two lines that says u are a cheater and look ! u didn't cheat again!
To be honest if you are using something that was not intended for the players to get normally u are cheating regardless.

Looks like fun!.. Its like a mix between Diablo and the early World of Warcraft 3 game ;). I've been playing torchlight 1 and getting the plot down :)
Even better you can get 4 copies for $60 on steam, give them to your mates, have fun in your own server all for the same price as rmah3

It took me 30-40 hours to get bored from TL2. THis is not bad value for money by any means as the game costs 15 pounds. But I am back to Diablo 3 and I am enjoying that much more than TL2 and I have played D3 for 200-300 hours now and will probably play a lot more.
No closed servers + no near infinite xp progression killed TL2 for me. I know people get labeled as cheaters but that iss still not good enough. No point to trade as people can simply create items and no point to PvP if people can edit/create their items/ chars.
I know D3 is still no where near as good D2 but it is getting there with every new patch. Also D3 is the second best ARPG after Diablo 2 which actually feels more like a Diablo game. TL2 is definitely not the successor of D2. Even their skill trees are not as good as D2's. Boring classes and no Diablo atmosphere doesn't help either.

FATE and TL1 and D1 seem more similar than TL2 (going deeper and deeper into a dungeon)
TL2 is a much better game than TL1 (in my opinion)

When you design a game mechanic and provide gameplay surface (NPC, UI, etc) for it, then when a player interacts with it, they are playing your game as intended, not cheating.
Yeah Torchlight 1 and 2 are made by former fate, diablo and diablo 2 devs. The 3 leads are the lead guy from fate and the schaefer brothers who worked on diablo 1 and were the leads on diablo 2. They also have the music guy from diablo 1 & 2.
The long term play of d3 comes from grinding gear.
The long term play of tl2 comes from multiple characters and trying out lots of builds. (also it has some loot grind and it randomises the maps much much better than d3)
I don't get how you can say tl2 has boring classes when there's so much variety in how you can build them. With d3 your locked in a role, a monk is always a mdps, a demon hunter is always a rdps. Not so with tl2, there's loads of variety.
All 4 tl2 classes can be built
As ranged or as melee
As tanky or as high dps
As standard / low mana attack based or as high mana power spell based
As solo heroes or as summoning / pet buff based swarmers
As mob pack specialist or boss specialist or somewhere inbetween
As physical or elemental damage orientated
There's huge variety. I run a dual wand toting group buffing bezerker a tanky / pbaoe respecced embermage and a cannon toting engineer.
There's also more involved in how you upgrade / distribute your 4 primary stats, in d3 no matter what build you only care about 2, if your a barbarian you always want just str and vit.
Diablo 3 has some things right, the combat is great with plenty of impact, but then so is tl2 (the impact thing is important I couldn't get into titan quest because of the lack of bodies flying around) it also has nice story and atmosphere, which is where it does beat tl2, on the feat playthrough.
But its hindered in 2 areas.
The itemisation due to wanting to encourage people onto the rmah. Now its better now a year latter, bit its still a bit underwhelming.
The speccing / progression system. Now I like some things like how your only allowed one power of a certain type out at a time. And I would like something like the runes in tl2 to temporarily tinker with builds in a limited way on the fly. But there's such a lack of variety in how you can spec your chars, you are truly locked into an archetype.

I admit Torchlight and Torchlight 2 are both well done games. I'm in the camp that just does not find cartoony games appealing, so I do consider this a con.
I recently downloaded TL2 on a new computer and discovered all these great mods for the game. I downloaded Synergies II, which seems to be almost an entire game overhaul, and a mod for a respec potion and enhance textures, although it really doesnt look any different with this mod as far as I can tell. Also, the Synergies Mod gives you a new character class, the necromancer, and two that are still in alpha. I tried the necromancer and just feels like any other character really. It doesnt feel that different to me. After a few hours I just got bored since it is simply going somewhere and bashing countless monsters. There is more story than the first one but more than almost nothing is not much. Maybe I have to admit this genre is not for me. I know people rave about Diablo 2 and Torchlight 2. I always seem to get bored fairly quickly killing endless number of monsters. If they could actually graft a meaningful story on to the game maybe it would help.
I don't want to discourage anyone from picking this up, however. If this is your type of game, I am sure you will love this. It is cheap enough and offers tons of hours of gameplay.

We love Beavis & Butthead creator Mike Judge's animated video for "The Wind," but it should be known that the Zac Brown Band jam hard with or without the fancy robo-treatment. Last night the Atlanta band dropped by The Late Show With David Letterman in flesh and blood to play the single off of their just released Uncaged. They dressed loosely but the performance was tight and polished, the bright fiddle being a particular highlight. And it left no doubt that, beer guzzling and duck hunting or just hanging out on late night, these guys have got what it takes to bring a place down.

Missionary-Evangelist Philip Cameron is a preacher, singer, author and founder of a far-reaching international ministry that has impacted nations such as his native Scotland, Romania, Moldova and beyond.
In 1976, Philip married his home-town sweetheart, Chrissie, in Peterhead, Scotland and they now live in Montgomery, Alabama. They have four children: Philip, Melody, Andrew and Lauren.
Music Ministry
For many years THE SINGING CAMERONS traveled the world in their Scottish kilts, ministering the Gospel in a unique way and bringing America such songs as "All Over The World" and "The Dancing Heart." Philip continues to produce his own music and has written and recorded many songs, some in his native Scots dialect.
Household Salvation
Among Philip's special burdens is to help Christians win all their loved ones to Christ. He has written four books on the subject of household salvation. Philip is the first male in the Cameron family for two hundred years never to have known the curse of alcoholism. When God began to move in the family, sixty-seven Camerons came to Christ in a short six-week period!
Philip has shared his vision for Household Salvation on nationally-aired radio and television boradcasts, connecting believers around the country in a campaign of prayer and outreach, touching literally millions of their unsaved loved ones.
Fort Faith at Brigadoon
A direct outgrowth of Philip's burden for familes is Brigadoon Campground and Retreat Center. Brigadoon is all about family-oriented fun, fellowship and ministry. The Fort Faith camp area is an awesome place for churches to hold their Youth and Kid's Camps, while the rest of the Brigadoon campus completes the picture with great facilities for adults and family-style lodging. Open year-round, Brigadoon is the perfect spot for Mens Retreats, Father-and-Son weekends, Womens groups and more.
New Hope for Scotland
Along with his late father, Rev. Simon Peter Cameron, Philip began a small Bible School in 1974 near his home town of Peterhead, Scotland. Over thirty years later, the ministry, now known as The New Hope Trust, continues to impact lives for Christ! When God first touched the Camerons, Simon declared that their family motto would be "Scotland for Christ!" That remains the prayer of our hearts today!
New Hope for Romania and Moldova
On a visit to Romania in 1990, just after the fall of Communism, Philip saw thousands of children warehoused in Romania's orphanage system. Since then, Philip Cameron Ministries has helped thousands of children with: truckloads of food, medicines and other vital supplies, fuel to heat orphanages, sending medical professionals and providing vans for children and orphanage staff.
Bordering Romania is Moldova where Philip "adopted" another orphanage in the town of Hincesti. Children were literally freezing to death in their cribs — the year before Philip arrived, thirty children died during the brutally cold Moldovan winter, and sixteen more had perished that year. We are thrilled to report that not one child has perished from the cold since we began helping this orphanage! The orphanage in the village of Cupcui has been completely rebuilt; Hebron's Hope, our Mission House nearby allows us to provide spiritual help and guidance to the kids.
Stella's House
Stella's House in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau provides refuge for teenage girls forced to leave the orphanages at age 16 — these girls would otherwise face a dangerous life on the streets, prey for sex traffickers and other criminals.The first Stella's House opened in November 2006. Stella's House 2 opened it's doors in 2009 and Stella's House 3 is expected to open early in 2010.
Around the World
Over the years the ministry has brought help to many in need, in places like Albania, aiding refugees from war-torn Kosovo; or in Turkey, helping earthquake victims; or Thailand, bringing hope and help to Tsunami victims. First, we bring urgently needed supplies to meet the physical necessities of life, then Philip has been able to touch countless lives for Christ through his compassionate heart and "faith-in-action" approach to sharing the Gospel.

Ibrahim Toure, who had been suffering with cancer, died in Manchester on Thursday.
Reports had claimed the brothers would leave Brazil to be with their family as they mourn the passing of the 28-year-old, but a team spokesman said that they would remain with the national squad.
"The Toure brothers, Kolo and Yaya, have decided to stay with the team. They are not leaving Brazil," said a spokesman for the Ivorian Football Federation.
Ivory Coast face Greece in Fortaleza in Group C on Tuesday and a victory in that match will see them qualify for the last 16 of the competition.
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure played in the 2-1 defeat against Colombia, while Liverpool defender Kolo Toure was an unused substitute.

Samsung Movie Store: Does what it says on the tin, only more expensive
Hey Samsung phone owners! Yeah, you! Want to download movies to watch on your phone? Want to pay over the odds for the privilege? Then you're in luck, my friend
Samsung has launched a movie store. You go there and buy movies. It's called -- drum roll please -- the Samsung Movie Store. And the Samsung marketing department takes the rest of day off.
The Samsung Movie Store features movies and TV shows from studios including Warner Brothers, Paramount, Universal and Momentum. It's powered by Acetrax.
Right now there are over 500 films to download, such as the peerless Dark Knight and the irreverent Iron Man, or the atrocious RocknRolla. There's a bunch of TV shows as well, including ER, if that's still on, Gossip Girl, whatever that is, and Friends. Seriously, if there's a human being on the planet who hasn't seen every single episode of Friends, Crave will buy them dinner*.
Apparently there'll also be exclusive 'first look' content, otherwise known as 'watching telly' to you and me. You'll be able to watch downloaded movies on the peerless AMOLED screen of the Tocco Ultra or the okay screen on the original Tocco . Or any Samsung phone that supports movies, if you happen to own one. Seriously, if you own a Samsung phone, tell us about it in the comments, because we're starting to think you're mythical.
Oh, and each 24-hour rental costs £2.49, or you can buy a film for £4.99. Seriously, just join LoveFilm and watch it on a screen where you can actually see what's happening.
*Disclaimer: We won't buy you dinner.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Find an amateur is a PPV community Network type of site where users can buy & sell pictures/videos as well as offer webcam shows, modeling services and custom video requests. At first glance, it's a scary looking site, to be perfectly honest. The pages are cluttered with text, but also content. It claims to be "the biggest amateur network on the net", and even assists member's in building their very own porn sites. Prepare yourself to browse through more than 500 females and 250 males, as well as a handful of couples, trannys, escorts, and more. Content can be viewed using credits and there are a number of different packages to choose from ranging from $25 bucks and up to $250.00.
Large Community of Amateurs.
Find an Amateur is just massive with so much to see and do, as a viewer and as a contributing member. Your options include finding and building your own website, viewing & setting up future live cam shows with other users, finding escorts near you, webmodels, viewing pics and videos submitted by member's of the community, blogs, comments, news feeds and so much more.
Many User Features, Browse & Navigational Tools.
For such a massive website offering so much variety in types of content, Find An Amateur does a really good job at giving users the tools to get around. Multiple search features can be used for each section of the site, whether it be finding member websites, escorts, pics & videos, webmodels, etc. Content is tagged and cross-linked, as are the users. There are quality ratings, user comments & ratings and even content sub-searches within user profiles. For how intimidating and cumbersome the site appears to be, the actual functionality and design is tops.
Other Good Stuff:
Quality Varies & Can Be Really Bad.
This is an obvious and clearly a problem you'll find with most amateur community sites. Picture size & quality varies depending on the user, their skills and equipment. I saw some decent images and some that were just horrible in terms of quality. In general I'd say it's the videos where most of the problem lies. Almost nothing here is going to play higher than 1500k-2000k, but even then the quality is just not there at times. But this varies, so it's not to say there isn't anything of quality here.
Not Enough User FAQ or Help Topics.
For a website offering so much in terms of community features, credit payment options, etc. I can't understand why there isn't a whole section dedicated to giving users information about the tools they need to get around, post & pay for content, download content or anything else for that matter. This was a huge negative for me as it took hours to really get the hang of this site and I still can't say I understand the set-up completely.
PPV Set-Up Can Be Very Expensive.
Content pricing ranges from 1 credit and up over 20 credits. I'd say most content hovers in the 5 credit range, but clearly this can turn into one very expensive experience. Everything comes at a price, everything!
Minor Negatives:
An interesting set-up for an amateur community with lots to enjoy.
I've never seen an amateur community like this. It's hard to even know where to start. I assume most users will feel the same way at first, but based on the massive amount of community member's actively participating already, clearly this is one website worth figuring out. It does get costly, and quality is going to range from bad to good, but never amazing. I love the user "webpages" or profiles. It's somewhat similar to a My Space set-up. Navigational tools are plentiful, but some sort of detailed help page needs to be added (unless I missed it?). Either way, take a look. Find An Amateur is a cool concept, and one I think most community amateurs will enjoy.

Years ago, before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks led to amped-up security around bridges and other public infrastructure, you often could spot clusters of boats tied up to the columns of the old Cooper River bridges.
These boats carried die-hard sheepshead anglers, the ones who knew the secret to catching these notoriously hard-to-hook (yet very tasty) fish.
Savvy anglers used to pull plenty of tournament-winning fish off these enormous pilings, which were covered in thick coatings of the barnacles, oysters and crustaceans sheepshead love to crunch.
These days, the old bridges are gone, and the support structures of the Ravenel Bridge are decidedly off-limits to fishermen. But there's a place just over the harbor in Mount Pleasant where folks can relive those sheepshead glory days. And you don't even need a boat to do it.
The 1,250-foot long Mount Pleasant Pier, part of the town's Memorial Waterfront Park, stretches into Charleston Harbor under the shadow of the new bridge. The pier's foundation was created from pared-down pilings from the old Grace Memorial Bridge.
These pilings, still covered in decades worth of marine growth, are the reason the pier has developed such a reputation as a hot sheepshead spot.
Very few other spots in or around Charleston, if any, offer shore-bound anglers the chance to catch sheeps topping 10 pounds.
The fishing's been so good at the pier since it opened in 2009 that some of the folks who work there were glad to see new limits enacted last year.
Some pier anglers with a knack for hooking the toothy fish could catch (and keep) upward of 20 fish per day when the bite was hot. Now, thanks to the new law, anglers can keep only 10 fish per day, and the minimum size limit is 14 inches.
Winter is a great time to give it a try, especially since the pier is in the midst of its Winter Sheepshead Challenge. This fun little contest features a tackle shop gift card as a prize and runs through end of February.
Local angler Jackson Perry (above) is leading with an 11-pound, 7-ounce sheepshead caught Dec. 7.
There's no entry fee other than the regular daily fishing pass. Charleston County residents pay $5, non-residents pay $8. It's $3 for kids 12 and under and seniors 60 and up.
The pier is open all week, and shop's open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Anglers with a pass can fish until the pier closes at 11 p.m., but all sheepshead must be weighed by pier staff to be entered into the challenge.
Most sheepshead anglers use simply rigs consisting of an egg weight on the mainline above a short leader ending in a small J- or circle-style hook. Fiddler crabs are the bait of choice.
Jr. Duck Stamp winner
I had the pleasure and privilege last week of helping to judge this year's S.C. Junior Duck Stamp Contest. Looking over hundreds of entrees submitted by students from around the state, I was amazed at the level of talent these young artists exhibited.
The art competition is a partnership between the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, state Department of Natural Resources and S.C. Ducks Unlimited (which sponsored the contest).
Emily Knudson, 14, of Mount Pleasant took top honors with a superb mixed media portrait of a redhead duck.
Hanna Massar, also 14 years old and of Mount Pleasant, took 1st Runner Up with an incredible close-up of a common merganser.
Both artists attend Thomas Cario Middle School and receive instruction from art teacher Stefani Timmerman.
2nd Runner Up: Elizabeth Chandler, 15, of Sumter.
3rd Runner Up: Ashley Bazzle, 17, of Summerville and Cane Bay High School.
4th Runner Up: Erin Signori, 13, of Mount Pleasant and — again — Thomas Cario Middle School.
My fellow judges were College of Charleston professor and Ducks Unlimited East Cooper Chairman Mark Hartley , local artist Christina Hewson, and DNR's Dean Harrigal and Don Winslow.
The tops entrees will be displayed at the Charleston County Public library on Calhoun Street during this year's SEWE, Feb. 15-17.

I realyy don't want to debate the isues here.
Perkins has NOT been one of my favorites for a long time, due the poor service at most of the locations throughout the area, even though they cleaned up their act a few years back. It's obvious the "chain" restaurants are not doing well. Profit margin is the issue here. That's why I chose locally owned establishments. Service and food quality is MUCH better! Some even with smoking areas for those afflicted with nicotine fits.
I agree. Get back to running the state and allow NO bonuses. If the politicians can't do that, they should get out. Get a job where they might acually have to WORK for a living.
"We're really working hard to continue to grow our core business ... becoming a larger player in the competitive wholesale business," said CEO James Miller, during a conference call with analysts.
Yea, with whose money?
Once again, you're dealing with POLITICIANS. More concerned about their own sweet a$$. Face it-it's a cake job, bilking the taxpayers. Not all of them are bad, but it makes the whole bunch look bad.
"But with the lower spending growth also came some painful cuts, the leaders said. "There'll be some unhappy campers," said Sen. Gibson Armstrong, R-Lancaster and chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee."
Does that apply to the illegal pay raise? Will all the politicians and judges who took it be unhappy, too?
Blood sucking leeches.
And all the politicians come out smelling like a rose. What crap! Wasn't Fumo in on the pay grab?
WOW! All smiles! Do they think that much of themselves? Why did it take this long!?
"But Sen. Lisa Boscola said everybody, not just Rendell, has a stake in the problem. "I think the governor and all four caucuses are at fault here," she said. "There should be no fingerpointing It's a disgrace, especially when you have all those 24,000 state workers furloughed."
Boscola, D-Northampton/Lehigh/Monroe, said big egos are getting in the way. "People in Pennsylvania want us to do our jobs and that means passing the budget," she said. "People are not fooled by the Democrats, the Republicans or the governor. They see what's going on. It's all about more spending, who gets what and more pork."
So true, Lisa.Typical government by and for the people.
If what the mayor say is true, then what's the big deal? It sounds like these two council members are nitpicking. I'm sure Bethlehem has more serious problmes to solve. On the other hand, Callahan mentions money from the casino venture. Big if.
You can bet Air Products will distance themselves from this dude.
"Petrini is charged with aggravated assault, burglary, kidnapping and attempted rape." WOW! All that just for a romp in the sack. Was it worth it?
All the more reason why PA should ban them. If it's declared illegal in NJ, then make it so for PA.
What a waste of LIFE! I see numerous MC operators doing this. Real cool until you're hurt or dead. Or have injured someone else in the process. My sympathies to the family and friends of this man.
School's out! Nothing to do. Now they have. Work detail, on the double! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! Not only clean up what they did, but clean up the parks, streets, borough property. Teach them how to paint curb lines. And when it's all done, use this as a deterrent for other youth to see. Omit the names, of course, but the impact should work.
The whole thing is really stupid. There should be a ban, it should be illegal universally. A blanket law. No fireworks for sale to consumers. Keep the professional displays from the companies that know how to use them. Make the law right or don't make it a law. Have them removed from stores.

The rest of your comments don't have any relevence on the issue.
The tests show that the driver was drunk. One error cost two lives. Young ones at that.
Hey oilman-
You said the key word.......... IRRESPNOSIBLE!
Put the car on the school grounds. Put pictures of the deceased teens in and around the wreck so others can see it and be reminded DAILY.
Have the local newspapers, including the school papers, run stories. This should be aimed at ALL drivers, including old farts like me. The numerous wreaths and memorials you see along roads are also a grim reminder.
I hope whomever did this is quite happy with themselves.
Two more young lives lost from something PREVENTABLE.
Also, this article merely lists the events and web links. There's no survivor story, what the local American Cancer Society does, etc. The local ACS staff partners should be promoting their "wares". Some of the other charitable organizations in the Lehigh Valley area are more in sync with this concept. And, some Lehigh Valleyians don' have computers. Come on, ACS! Tell the Lehigh Valley what you do and why the community should help.
Instead of more events, the local American Cancer Society should improving the quality of the Relay For Life events that already exist. Even though "it's about a community that takes up the fight", these additional relays have a downside. As a former volunteer and organizer of one of the more prominent relays, I've seen the quality of the relay watered down because of duplicate events. It has lost its scacredness and the "warm and fuzzy" feeling you got when you participated. Having additonal relays created more difficulties with securing corporate sponsors and advertising. I dealt with this personally over the last several years when I was involved . My staff partner and his associates seemed to be more interested in the quantity, not quality, of the relays. The attitude was (probably still is) "it all goes into the same pot." Numerous errors were made by the staff, which relfected back onto the volunteers organizing the events. It's as if they were driving us away.
My opinions, of course.
