Gatlinburg pays tribute to those who served
U.S. Army Veteran Eddie Holbrook, from Gadsden, Ala., was one of a dozens of veterans gathered outside Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg Monday morning for the city's annual Veterans Day ceremonies.
Holbrook, who earned a Bronze Star fighting in Vietnam in the late 1960s, said he and his family regularly come to the mountain town for its annual celebration of veterans.
"It's nice to come out here and be with the other veterans — when I see the World War II veterans, I think of how much more they did than I did," he said.
But it's all veterans, from all branches and all phases of service, who are honored by the annual day — set aside years ago to celebrate everyone who's donned a uniform.
On Monday, Gatlinburg-Pittman High School's band played patriotic music, while speakers — including retired U.S. Air Force Colonel David Evans, who most recently commanded the 119th Command and Control Squadron — saluted the spirit of veterans everywhere.
The colonel relayed stories of hearing former soldiers discussing the daily goings-on in Blount County in his youth, and how their faithful loyalty to the country shaped his desire to go on and choose a military career for himself. He said that those veterans in the crowd were likely planting the same seeds today with other generations.
Gatlinburg American Legion Post 202 supplied the honor guard services for the event, and fired a salute early in the services, which were emceed by Gatlinburg resident and WIMZ on-air radio personality Tammy "TK" Kelly.
Gatlinburg Police Captain Jim Maples, a Marine veteran during the Vietnam War, offered the day's prayer and provided some inspiring words during the event, which is an official Regional Site for the Observance of Veterans Day as designated by Veterans Day National Committee of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"On this Veterans Day we remember the service of veterans of all wars," Maples said. "Remember how men and women set aside their civilian pursuits to serve their country's cause — defending the freedom of mankind and preserving our precious American Heritage."

Disc stuck in dead powerbook g4
My powerbooks battery is completly dead and the ac adapter isn't working. I have a disc that is in the powerbook that I would really like to get out. Is there a way I can do this with no power?
Thanks in advance
Depends on what model PowerBook, always helps ig you provide model details and OS, but try the old paper clip trick for starters or remove the optical drive from the machine:-
Ejecting a disc from the PowerBook G4 disc drive
Alternately...maybe you can find someone with a similar adapter to borrow...or if that disk is valuable enough...purchase a working used adapter.

Glee Hotties: Better With or Without Scruff?
The Glee cast is back on set filming for Season 3, but we can't help but miss the carefree days of summer livin'. Namely, the scruff that some of the show's hotties decided to sport — and have undoubtedly now shaven to reprise their high school roles.
While it's been fun to see the guys rebel against their facial grooming regimen, we fear that Darren Criss (Blaine) may have crossed a little too far over in caveman territory. A little scruff, like Cory Monteith's (Finn) can add a more masculine edge to his boyish good looks. But maybe you think different? Tell us...

It's been a very, very good year for the skinny-white-boy producers of the world. At the top of the pile shines one in particular: RL Grime (who is currently on tour with a bunch of other skinny white dudes. Brilliant.) Henry Steinway won our artist of the year in our 2012 recap and, judging by the past seven months since then, is on a warpath to take the title once again at the end of 2013. His latest EP High Beams, out today on Fool's Gold, was a long awaited package from the wunderkid and is a bonafide selection of club weapons at their most volatile.

Graduates Encouraged to Keep Spinning Forward
Published: Dec 21, 2009
View photo gallery
Amidst cheers from families who came to the ceremony with bouquets of flowers and congratulatory balloons, 388 bachelor's and master's degree candidates crossed the stage in the Bob Martinez Sports Center on Dec. 19 for the University of Tampa's 127th commencement ceremony.
"We hope to have ignited in you a constant hunger for education," said UT President Ronald L. Vaughn. "So live to learn."
Dr. Gary Luter, professor of speech and theatre, gave the commencement address as the recipient of the Louise Loy Hunter Award, which is given for excellence in teaching and cumulative contributions in service and scholarship.
"You should be pleased with yourself, but not too pleased," Luter said to the degree candidates Saturday. "Now the great work begins."
Luter challenged the graduates to question tradition and work for change when tradition no longer has meaning. He said that an inquisitive nature is progressive and places humankind on an enlightened path.
"Doubt the old, discover the new, adjust your beliefs constantly and keep spinning forward," he said.
Luter, director of the Honors Program at UT since 2008, started teaching at the University more than 30 years ago. He helped grow the theatre program to include two degree programs in theatre, a selection of majors and minors, a fully equipped stage, scene and costume shops and seven full-time faculty members.
Luter supports the Equality Project of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network, an organization that promotes a safe environment for gays and lesbians in secondary schools, and he has chaired the education committee for the Human Rights Task Force of Florida. He is on the board of the Florida Collegiate Honors Council and is an honorary board member of Stageworks Theatre Company.
Eugene McNichols, chairman of the Board of Trustees, congratulated the graduates on the choices that led them to pursue a college degree, that led them to the University of Tampa and that led them to that moment on Saturday, having successfully completed their degree requirements.
"You now have a few critical choices ahead of you," McNichols said, including choosing membership in UT's alumni association and giving thanks to family and friends for helping them through this interval of their lives. "Make choices based on integrity, love for others and kindness towards all."
The University hosts two commencement ceremonies a year in the spring and in the winter. May Commencement will be held May 8, 2010, at the St. Pete Times Forum, 401 Channelside Drive, in Tampa.

Demouge joined Bournemouth from Utrecht 12 months ago, but he made only two appearances during his time with the club.
He linked up with Roda JC on loan in the January transfer window and had his contract with Bournemouth cancelled on Friday.
The 31-year-old impressed during his loan spell at Roda JC, and the Dutch club's managing director Marcel van den Bunder is happy to have snapped up Demouge on a permanent basis.
"Frank has shown in the last six months that his mentality and style of play fits very well into our club," Van den Bunder told Roda JC's official website.
"It is not surprising that, after he has been able to terminate his contract at Bournemouth, he has quickly reached an agreement with us."

Makes Me Look Great.
By JB
from Oregon
Comments about Men's Country Gentleman Calfskin Leather Coat:
This is the fourth leather coat that I own that is made by Lone Pine for Overland. What has always attracted me to these coats is how good they look and fit. There is also the impeccable craftsmanship and quality as well as choice of leather. I chose this coat for the casual, yet gentleman like rancher look it offers. It will look great when, I'm on horseback, driving my truck or walking the streets of Santa Fe.Just a few thoughts about the sales staff at all of the Overland stores I've shopped in: these people are very knowledgable and do not try to hard sell you. The customer service is as good as it gets and I have been a very loyal customer.

great casual coatclassic western good looks
What a great coat!
By Ron
from Indianapolis, IN
I wanted a coat with just a bit of western flair. I had looked at this one for some time and finally decided to try it. I'm sorry I waited so long. This coat is beautiful. A bit western, a bit rugged and it fits perfectly. And the purchase experience was fun and exceeded my expectations. Overland made me feel like I was important and appreciated my business. Consider me a very satisfied customer.

In this episode, Diddy's demands are so extreme…
…not even he can keep a straight face!
When we begin, Jen is tipsy.
She is so tipsy that she seems to have this reality show confused with Diablo Cody's beloved masterpiece of girl-on-girl crime, Jennifer's Body.
Whatever, they're both named Jennifer, so I guess it's a name thing.
Dalen, Daniel and Ivory decide to give Jen a quiz on black history to see how lit she is and/or how honest that will make her. Based on the answers to her peers' questions, among the things Jen seems to consider as facts about famous African Americans are:
- Mickey Mantle was the first African American to play professional baseball
- Oprah is the first black female millionaire
- Rosa Parks led slaves to freedom
- Martha is Martin Luther King's wife's name
- The Beatles are part of black history
- James Brown and she share a birthday
At least she's a fun drunk, and not a hateful one!
After the quiz, Jen lounges seductively…
…on top of Dalen…
…not that you can blame her, really, 'cause the guy is looking better and better every week. He's not just preserving his sexy, he's cultivating it.
Everyone's ready to wind down, since what we're actually watching was filmed the night of last week's challenge, but nope: the cursed red phone rings.
Thus, a task is hatched.
Daddy's House is Diddy's studio, where he's crafted hits for the likes of Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey, among people. As the place where "Breakdown" was birthed, Daddy's House is essentially the Kaaba of R&B.
There, Diddy sits at the boards…
A few of his acts are in the house…
The prospective assistants arrive at Daddy's to be greeted by a man with the somewhat unfortunate nickname of Skid…
I really hope that underwear had nothing to do with him receiving such a nickname. The teams are going to have to work in the studio for the night, paying special attention to the artists in the building. Uptown will take care of Dirty Money, while Downtown has been assigned Cassie. Immediately, a flurry of work begins:
Diddy explains the importance of having an assistant in the studio: sometimes he may need speakers to see how his music plays with that club effect, or he may need a stripper to see how she'd dance to a song he just cut. Would that be for his own amusement, or is he implying that he'd actually change things around if said stripper didn't perform to his liking? Given the penchant for lucite heels, I would not invest too much worth in one stripper's taste level. I'd at least poll a group of them.
Also, Diddy tells his peeps to be as diva-like as possible with their demands.
He suggests requesting Liberian goat milk, for example. Cassie's manager is so excited at the prospect…
…it's as though she's been waiting her whole life to rock a Liberian goat-milk mustache, and she's finally getting her chance.
The first point of friction (or…lack their of, technically) comes when Cassie's manager tells Ivory, who's manning reception, that Cassie is cold. She apparently has already asked about this twice. Frost is forming on the shaved part of Cassie's scalp. Ivory sends Melissa to get a blanket. Melissa is like, "Wow." When Melissa blinks, the insides of her eyelids made her go, "Wow." After 20 minutes, Melissa is nowhere to be found and Cassie's nearing a state of hypothermia. Ivory offers her sweater but it is not good enough. Oh well, Cassie will just have to freeze solid until something that is good enough comes along.
Daniel commits and even bigger gaffe when he busts into a room and starts introducing himself. Dalen says he does this in the manner of a politician. If that's the case, he's impeached when Diddy, who's recording in an adjacent booth, catches wind of this and his vibe is thrown off.
After a verbal spanking, he kicks Daniel and Dalen out of the room, only to then assemble the whole group to remind them to make everyone feel special. He chastises Daniel for running around the room like a chicken with his head cut off, but also tell the group, "I need y'all dancing." So basically: no moving about unless it's rhythmically. He concludes by telling the group, "Keep it sexy." Dalen's right on top of that, Rose.
Ebony and Dalen leave to go push a Pro Tools set across town, while Cassie's manager resumes berating Ivory on the frostbitten state of her client. She suggests Ivory come in the room and rub Cassie in an attempt to warm her up. Just make sure her skin doesn't start breaking off, like ice from a car windshield, Ive!
Diddy walks int to see this happening and he is disgusted. He tells Ivory to get a space heater, and then once she's out of the room, they all laugh at the impossibility of finding a space heater in the middle of summer. You're terrible, Muriels!
And then, guess what? Cassie continues to freeze over like the tundra. After Melissa fails to turn up a space heater, Cassie's manager says that her client is leaving.
Diddy calls Ivory and Melissa into a room to berate them.
Diddy says Cassie's leaving because her throat is closing up from being cold. Oh really, that's how throats work? This story would be more believable if it involved frozen saliva. Diddy asks Ivory why she couldn't produce a space heater. Ivory explains that she was told she couldn't leave reception. Diddy thinks that's hogwash: "When I tell you something, it's like the skies and the seas is parting. All that other s*** is irrelevant."
Only Lord Diddy can part the seas, the skies and Ivory from the reception area. That right there is omnipotence.
It's time to get food. People in the studio give Dalen outlandish orders like double cheeseburgers without the burgers. Melissa, too, is given a list of a number of things to retrieve, including a foot spa and fast food. Dalen talks about being lost in Downtown Manhattan in the rain, except…
…he's clearly in Midtown (that's 44th and Broadway right there). So maybe he's still lost? As for Melissa…
…there's no maybe about it.
She drops a soda…
…and falls apart a little. In all, her excursion ends up taking her two hours, while Dalen delivers the food in a manner that seems to please everyone. For once!
Diddy is not done with preying upon Ivory: he asks her to find him cards for him that will express what's going on inside. He doesn't want just any cards, but…
Cards that express, "I love you and I want you and I need you." Why doesn't he just write a song instead? He already has, like, a verse. Whatever, Ivory does this and comes up with a card that says (at least in part): "I want to touch you so softly, it puts you to sleep. I want time with you. I want to hear you whisper and talk…" Diddy says he loves his. He's on the last train to sappy, or at least, he's doing a great job of acting like it.
Oh, and then Daniel vacuums and supposedly blows a circuit in the sound engineer's room. Whatever. It's just a sound engineer.
The final incident occurs when Dalen is made to rub Dawn's feet.
Except, Dalen comes to find that Dawn's boyfriend is not so happy about this.
Maybe Dalen didn't ask ahead of time. Maybe Q is entirely arbitrary. Either is very possible. So Dalen has Ivory come in to rub the feet instead. During this time, Dawn asks Ivory about whether she hates her teammates and Ivory says that she likes Dalen. She also mentions that there's someone on her team that she thinks should go. It turns out to be Melissa, who's summoned and proceeds to say nice and professional things about all, including Ivory. Once all have evacuated the room, Dawn is aghast that Ivory talked badly about one of her peers. "We're artists, we don't need to know your problems!" she says. Yeah, except you asked. I mean, duh, it was a trap, but you shouldn't be surprised when a little green man falls into the leprechaun hole you just set up.
The night is over, but Diddy is not sufficiently satisfied. He apparently wants entertainment so he has everyone dance to one of his new songs for him.
Diddy makes fun of Dalen's expression…
"Is that a smile? What is that face you're making?" wonders Diddy. Maybe the music is so damn funky, it makes you look like you're smelling something bad? The biggest surprise is that Melissa isn't a complete wreck.
She's dangerous on the dance floor! (I mean that in the Musto & Bones sense of the phrase. It's a compliment!)
When the teams arrive home, they get a cursed red-phone message that makes it clear that everyone's up going to attend elimination.
Poprah grills the group, of course. Melissa admits she dropped soda, because she had too much to carry. Ivory shrinks from the space-heater responsibility. Melissa says she wasn't assigned to Cassie specifically. Jen cleaned. All of this is shockingly civil, which is why my description isn't more exciting.
Then, time comes to vote: everyone picks Melissa, except for Ivory and, of course, Melissa. They vote for Jen. And so, Melissa is brought down, taking Jen with her. Immediately, Melissa pleads her case by saying how she keeps things professional. A cameraman with a good eye and a great sense of humor pans down to her feet…
Ah, it is a special thing when lucite heels get two references in a recap. Makes life worth living, at least from where I'm sitting.
Jen is criticized for not being a leader, but she doesn't feel like that's part of being an assistant. Jen is what scientists classify as: WRONG. Jen also says she doesn't like living with Melissa or even being around her. She continues hilariously: "It takes her too long to, um, relay a thought." She's not, um, alone. Andre asks if Melissa is such a good leader, why does no one want to work with her? Melissa proves Jen's point when she replies, "I'll explain that, sir, in one word: I stand alone." Ha! An assistant should at least be able to count, right?
They go back-and-forth about wearing makeup to bed or some such nonsense.
When panel takes the decision to Diddy, he basically says they're both crazy. In the end, though, it is Melissa who is bounced.
Melissa is relieved but sad, and notes that at least she didn't follow anyone but herself. As if this wonderful person could be anything but 100 percent what she is. I mean, that's her charm, take it or leave it. She cries while saying that you should stay fighting if you lose. Somewhere right now, Melissa is competing with imaginary peers who also want to work for Diddy.
And so, Jen is staying. Capricorn reminds Jen that what makes Bad Boy better than the rest is its simultaneous every-man-for-himself/every-man-for-the-group ethic and that she needs to adopt that in this competition. Well, that sounds nice and possible. This assistant thing should be a breeze!

How many University of Nevada, Reno alumni make up your family tree? Let us know, and you could all be featured in the next issue of the Silver & Blue!
The challenge is quite simple. But first, here are the rules.
1. To qualify as an "alumni", a family member must be a graduate of the University of Nevada, an alumni non-grad (taken at least one semester of classes at Nevada) or a currently enrolled student.
2. To qualify as a "family member", the alumnus must be a direct descendant or a direct descendant's spouse or step-child. So basically, we'll take parents, cousins, second cousins twice removed, etc.
3. Entries must be legible.
Want to enter your family? Here's how!
1. Make a list of family members, who are also University alumni. See above for our definition of "alumni".
2. Include maiden and married names where needed.
3. Indicate where each alumnus fits into your family tree. If you need to draw branches and leaves to get there, feel free.
4. Include graduation years if you have them. For students and alumni non-grads, indicate date range or semester(s) of attendance.
5. Let us know if your family would be available to have a photo taken on campus. (We understand how families spread, so all family members need not be present for the photo.)
6. Email your list to email@example.com, fax it to (775) 784-4527 or mail it to Nevada Alumni Association Family Tree Challenge, Morrill Hall Alumni Center/164, Reno, NV 89557.
7. Be sure to include your own name and contact information with your entry.
We look forward to hearing from you and your families!

There was a lot of good economic news this week. Amazing M&A transactions, rising stock markets and even Spain getting an upgrade from Moody's. And yet when every weekend comes I know I will read another journalist telling me that while a lot seems to be going pretty well, that deep down, the world is falling apart.
Venezuela, Ukraine, will not be seen as minor pockets of violence in the most peaceful period humanity has ever lived in, but as signs of much worse to come. Or the Groupon share collapse will not be seen as Groupon under-performing but as an indication of the first air coming out of the economic bubble.
And again I will shake my head and think, where do media organizations find these apocalyptic writers? But today something dawned on me, something quite obvious but that I hadn't realized before.
It is not the world that's falling apart, it is journalism that is falling apart. It is the world as journalists know it, that is falling apart. Newspapers, magazines, laying off people, losing ad revs to Google and Facebook, closing down, disappearing. TV news networks losing audience to reality TV. It is people giving up paper for a tiny, mostly free little screen in the palm of their hands. It is people's publishing in which so many volunteers do for free what journalists get paid to do that is destroying their livelihood, that is undermining the foundations of what used to be known as professional journalism. And the little professional journalism that is left is a winner takes all situation, all readers flock to a few sources like The New York Times and even those winners have barely managed to survive. With smaller staff. All professions have to adapt to changing times but few as much and as quickly as journalism. It's like the world knows it needs journalists but has not found a way to fit them into the age of news as mobile snippets on Twitter.
So next time you read some surprisingly negative news think that the maxim of what goes up must come down is many times not true. It is not true in the stock market over decades, and it is not true of all the objects that humanity has already shot way into space and are not coming down, ever. But what is true is that many a writer who is forecasting decline has sadly met decline, personally. And that is permeating into what you are reading.

Follow the cut for a host of helpful articles on bosses, drops, videos, and scenery!
- Videos of boss fights in the dungeon: the first shows Kael on normal, and the second has Selin Fireheart, Vexallus, video of the Sunwell cutscene, and then another Kael kill (sadly no Priestess Delrissa, although she's an add fight along the lines of Moroes).
- Adam Holisky takes us on a walkthrough, tank's-eye view, of the instance itself. This comes complete with a gallery of screenshots, which I've also included below.
- Tanks will find both offspec and main-spec gear drops in the dungeon, with one truly exceptional trinket dropping from Priestess Delrissa on heroic. Sadly, it's been nerfed, but I'm still going to be camping the heroic version until Delrissa coughs up my baby.
- Mike Schramm wonders how properly to abbreviate the instance, as we are adding yet another "MT" to the legion of MT's already in the game.
- Fun drops: The new phoenix noncombat pet drop off Kael'thas plus video! Also the Orb of the Sin'Dorei to disguise you as a Blood Elf, and the Swift White Hawkstrider!
- An Around Azeroth with a beautiful shot of a Kil'Jaeden mural inside.
- BAGS!: A 20-slot bag called the Sun-Touched Satchel drops off trash mobs (sadly, unique-equipped).

good solid park deck
The Knew is Niche's park deck. Its labeled as soft but its park soft not urban soft so dont expect a noodle. Best attribute of the Knew is how damp of a ride it gives despite being a park board... in fact Im 6'1 and over 200lbs and was able to ride the 152 at Snowbird in the spring. A fun a durable board the only downside is its extruded base which keeps it a bit slower than some of its counterparts. Reminds me of boards like Capitas Indoor Survival and Rides Machete.. youll love this board!
how would you say it compares flex wise to the Forum Scallywag? obvious camber differences aside.

John Minahan
II CORRECTIONS AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES: 24 NOVEMBER 2009 (document A)
Jason Waite will be added to the attendance.
Katherine Schmidt, Faculty Senate (document B)
The executive committee approved several minor course changes, as well as a few new courses.
We need representatives for the Pastega Awards Committee ( 1 COE, 1 LAS, 2 at large faculty positions).
Bob Hautala volunteered for an at large position, but we still need representatives. Please send an email to your divisions to fill the rest of these positions, as this committee needs to convene ASAP.
The online evaluation instrument team is now a joint team with the union. We still need to fill vacancies from CS, HPE, CA, BUS, and NS. If you do not have a representative on the team, this is your last chance, the committee will continue with the staffing it has.
Executive committee met with the Academic Infrastructure Committee, Dean McKiel and Bill Kernan.
This year, they are dealing with three main issues:
1. Wi-fi (this is mostly resolved),
2. Updating and revising the needs assessment document,
3. Collecting data about S&S budget differences between COE and LAS
Executive committee has also requested that they set up a webpage.
The next committee to meet with executive committee will be the honors committee.
John Minahan, Western Oregon University
Joel Alexander took over IFS at last meeting; he will do a good job and represent us well.
The Harlem Globetrotters will be here later in the term.
Enrollment is up 392 students over last year; we will be up at least 4% could be 8%.
The tax measures, if they do not pass, will result in a 10% budget reduction for WOU. This would come out of reserves and would institute furlough days for administrative staff. There will be no reduction in our central student services or courses due to this.
The Frohnmeyer proposal has hit some speed bumps and will not be a part of the leg special session. Board will consider in spring or summer and it will be a part of next session.
There have been a few changes in the Cottage. They have decided not to search for a new VP for the foundation. Instead, they will split the duties between two positions. An email detailing this will be sent out soon.
Joe Hutchinson, Staff Senate
Not present
Evan Sorce, ASWOU
Not present
Kent Neely, Provosts' Council
Not present
Curriculum Proposal: Dance, Deborah Jones (document C) (not present)
This would add LACC designation for several courses and add "by consent of instructor" to another.
Motion to approve by Scott Grim, seconded by Bryan Dutton
Passes unanimously
Program Proposal: Educational Media Endorsement, Mary Bucy (document D)
Revamping the program, adding new courses to bring the program up to date, align with standards, infuse technology,
Motion to approve by Dana Uveland, seconded by Scott Beaver
Passes Unanimously
Program Proposal: MSEd Information Technology, Mary Bucy (document E)
Revised and brought up to date. Removing old courses, add portfolio option as an exit option. Also adds new 3 and 1 credit content area electives.
Motion to approve by Dana Uveland, seconded Dean Braa.
Motion passes: 20 Ayes, 1 Nay, 0 Abstentions
Program Proposal: MAT (document F) Steve Wojcikiewicz
Changes MAT program, streamlines it and matches more closely to other programs.
Faculty had questions about the reduction in credits and wanted to hear about the curricular, not just market, reasons for the change. Steve responded that the program would have more focused classes on areas in which they need preparation, allowing for better grasp of the content. Also, several of the credits removed were field experience hours, of which TSPC only requires 15.
This takes the program from the third largest in the state to the 4th smallest (in credit hours).
Joel Alexander moved to accept the changes, Dana Uveland seconded.
Passes Unanimously.
Program Proposal: MSEd in Language Arts (document G) Steve Wojcikiewicz
Changes to allow some core content to be taken in COE, this helps with contexts, scheduling, and number of courses offered. Was developed and approved with Humanities
Dean Braa moved to accept the changes, Henry Huges seconded.
Passes Unanimously .
Curriculum Proposal: Music Ensemble, Ike Nail (document H & I)
No representative present
Curriculum Proposal: Chemistry, Pete Poston (document J)
They are proposing to change organic chemistry component of the chemistry program. This would take the lab hours out of the course hours, changing the course to 3 credits instead of 4. Lab hours would be offered in winter and spring. This matches up with other OUS institutions and helps students transfer.
There was some discussion about how this seemed to be a minor program change that did not impact other programs and the question was raised as to whether the Executive Committee could handle this.
Bob Hautala moved that this be removed from old business and that the executive committee deal with it.
Pete Poston seconded.
Passes unanimously
Program Proposal: Biology, Bryan Dutton (document K)
Proposal increases number of lecture contact hours from 3 to 4 hours in each of their introductory courses. Credit would go from 4 to 5. They are removing some courses to make room for the credits and shifting some second year courses to accommodate chemistry changes.
They surveyed students about increasing lecture hours and they were in favor; it also aligns with other OUS institutions.
This sequence is an LACC option, so a note will need to be made in the catalog. It will not change the number of LACC credits needed; there are already 15 credit sequences.
Program Proposal: ASL/English Interpreting, Elisa Maroney (document L)
This is a course change that will result in a change in the program prerequisites. The title is changing to Linguistics of ASL and the number will be 353. The description is also changing.
The prerequisites will change from ASL 6 to ASL 9 and Ling 210. The rationale for this is that students who took this last year had difficulty because it is conducted in ASL and the content was very difficult without a foundation in linguistics. For a frame of reference, 76% of the students who took ASL 8 and Ling 210 passed the course with a B or better, which is a requirement to get into the program.
Program Proposal: Military Science, Roy Susuico (document M)
They are trying to upgrade the minor. Army policy has changed and this will help them come into alignment. The will drop two history courses and add a military science course. An additional political science course has also been added as an option .
They are also changing writing courses from any writing class above WR 135 to any writing course above WR 135 or an approved writing intensive course.
Several titles and descriptions have been updated to align with what is being taught and courses that are no longer taught have been deleted.
There was significant discussion about the intent of the writing requirement and whether a writing intensive class really took the place of a writing course given their intent that "cadets know how to write." The conclusion was that the change in the wrting requirement would be dropped from this proposal.
Academic Infrastructure Committee, Joe Harchanko
Report on Wi-Fi pilot project.
They had 3 objectives:
1) Increase access
2) Demonstrate utility
3) Investigate feasibility of different models on campus
They feel they have met all 3 objectives.
They conducted a survey of pilot project participants: 80% of respondents placed value at high or very high. The full results are included in the handout he distributed.
At the end of the project, they hoped to develop a campus wide, consistent policy. All 3 deans have agreed to support this and currently 87 faculty are using Wi-Fi.
Joel Alexander
As a reaction/revision to the Frohnmeyer repoprt, Chancellor has developed a working document.
The report came about largely due to the fact that we have 6000 line items that must be judged by legislature. Most other state entities do not have this many. Many other university systems get a percentage and do not have to do line item approval. This has advantages, but creates some inefficiencies.
There are several possibilities: one separate entity, several entities, branch campuses. All of these would need to have accountability to legislature.
U of O and PSU have set up performance accountability matrices so that they would not have to be line itemed to the degree they currently are.
IFS had a report form OHSU to hear about the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a public corporation. One major issue is that there may be more revenue scrambling.
IFS has developed a resolution that would include all of the schools in the process going forward.
There were many questions about the implications and causes of the report and potential paths forward.

Why use v2 cigs?
Medical research has pointed out that most of the respiratory diseases that people face are the result of years of consumption of tobacco cigarettes. The carcinogens in the cigarettes have been declared as one of the fundamental reasons for the many hazards to the health. Many promotional and social awareness campaigns have made it possible for many customers to start kicking this habit.
But this is one tough nut to crack as many customers with years of dependency of in these cigarettes just can't quit it. This is the reason that many smokers need a suitable alternative to tobacco cigarettes. This is why electronic cigarettes such as the V2 cigs happen to gain prominence as they are dubbed as smokeless cigarettes. They don't burn anything and are without the 4000 carcinogens that are found in the regular cigarettes.
These electronic cigarettes that companies like V2 cigs are manufacturing are an ideal way to get closer to healthier lifestyles. But apart from the health benefits of these cigarettes there is also the fact that these cigarettes offer financial benefits too. And with the incentive like the V2 cig coupon the financial advantage increases.
What is the V2 cig Coupon?
Every manufacturer of the electronic cigarette faces a dilemma. Purchasing these cigarettes can be an expensive ordeal. Also the fact is that with many years of consuming the tobacco cigarettes it is very hard to shift the preferences of the customers towards the new product or variant. This is why many of the e cigs companies offer incentives like the V2 cig coupon to help the customers with the purchase of cigarettes at a deflated price. The V2 cigs coupon has codes that are relevant to numerous accessories and products that are offered by the company on which they can get 5% to 15% discount. Anyone can get a V2 cig coupon to get their quality products and accessories at a discounted price.
Advantages of V2 cigs coupons:
Many customers who will use the cigarettes for the first time will realize that these cigarettes will allow them to save a lot by availing the discounts that will not be found when they use the traditional cigarettes. This is one of many hidden benefits these cigarettes have which are listed below:
• These cigarettes are healthier and less hazardous as compared to the traditional cigarettes. They allow you to enjoy the same taste as conventional ones and by using the coupons you save hundreds of dollars without any effort.
• With the V2 cigs coupon you can not only save the cost that you have to make on the first purchase of the kit and the cartridges but you can use more coupons for the flavor cartridges that you can get according to your taste.
• Electronic cigarettes reduce the cost that you incur to follow this habit. But with the help of the V2 cigs coupon and also the longer life of the electronic cigarettes will allow you reap the benefits over longer periods of time and with less cost.

Excellent roof rack for bike
Beautiful, asethetic design. Solid and well built. Easy to install. Excellent product. Yes, you need the X9adapter but many parts in the adaptor package you don't need. Thule should just sell us 2 square base screws. However, I notice there is some whistle blower wind noise, perhaps from the Rapid Area bar and the mount. Any one has an idea?
Turn up the volume on your stereo a little, and consider it free "deer Whistles!" They will definitely know you are coming!! Where I live there are always deer, antelope, elk and often other, more domestic critters on the road; they get out of the way when they hear my bike AND my front-mounted deer whistles! Haven't hit Bambi yet!

Hi Carla,
Sure - just making clear here what we are talking about:
Apfel strudel - as in rolled up strudel dough (which is neither flakey pastry nor filo pastry by the way) with apples and raisins inside.
Yup, that's the one... Sorry for the wrong spelling... Thanks.
Recipe will come this evening - on my way out now
Here it is: [url=http://www.sourdough.com.au/forum//viewtopic.php?p=4949#4949][b]Carla's Austrian Apple Strudel [/b][/url]
Dear Markus,
That salmon I thought first looked like some slide of a specimen from a doctors office, is that an abstrac salmon with wasabi splattered on it?
here is filo
[i]carla: I call it "fast food" as it really only takes about half an hour[/i]
Fast food, wether maki nor sushimi:cry:
todays breakfast..wild salmon with wasabi on "Rheinischem Schwarzbrot"
(bread is 100% rye grain (Grobschrot), sourdough, yeast, malt, molasses, salt, water)
..strudel dough (which is.. nor filo pastry by the way)
my dear carla, you seems not to be up to date, even first class chefs (those one decorated by Michelin) use filo doughs, christmas last year I search everywhere to get it, I havn't, so I don't even know what it is.
But it shgould be an oriental original "Strudelteig" now a days ode industrially..,chefs who who make their own dough are very very rare..Lafer for example.
Will post a recipe soon, now the weather is fine..
Bill, I didn't. I made it the way I always have but used the rice cooker to prepare the rice as I didn't want to change everything and not know which change had made the improvement.
But I have your recipe tucked away and will try it.

Hi Carla,

I remember introducing my dad to sashimi in about 1985 ...
Shame on me...I grew up in Düsseldorf, the Japanese capitol of Germeny and a former Eurupean hedquarters, now it's Paris, meanwhile even London has a greater department
I always denied sushi, raw fish..igitttt, am I a werwolf?, it was in 2001! when a student at my former work came to lunch with some packed dishes of sushi...within the gruop I tasted and...
In Düsseldorf you can find some of the World bests Japanese Restaurant's for instance Kikaku or Benkay. I never tested them, they are too much expensive.
Very good are [url=http://www.nippon-kan.com/]Nippon-Kan[/url] and [url=http://www.nagaya.de/index.htm]Nagaya[/url]. Last one isn't very authentic, it's sort of asian fusion with adopted european style, but the dishes are excellent!
For myself I prefer one of the much more cheaper sushi bars, not so exclusive, not so expensive knifes
but with very healthy tasty food.
But never found a maki like the one TPs posted some weeks ago..
Yep, maki-sushi = nori rolls.
If I had to wash rice for 2 hours, I would leave home.
I call it "fast food" as it really only takes about half an hour
Preparing sushi I need minimum 3 hours netto, overall distance 5 to 6, washing the rice takes about 2 hours itself..
Rice may be cooked when washing water is absolutely clear.
Nori rolls??
Never heard, you mean Maki-Zushi (Maki-Sushi) with outer laying Nori?
It's a great shame that when my husband's Japanese uncle comes to Australia, he just wants to eat PRAWNS!!!
When we have japanese visitors they always want to eat kiwifruit and persimmons, as these are still quite expensive in Japan.
Ah Bill and Carol, couldn't we have a sushi et al thread in OT recipes for all of us to put in the pictures of the ones we have made or eaten somewhere?
That would be such a good "dictionary" when one wants to make something for visitors! Must check where my photos have gotten to of the "normal" sushi I make.
I call it "fast food" as it really only takes about half an hour once the rice is cold to roll and cut and there is food for 10 people!!
Bill, I've been making nori rolls for 20 years - but I had never made it with my newfangled rice cooker.
And let me tell you I am LOVING my new rice cooker!! It will make 10 cups or so, and we have given it an absolute hiding since we got it.
I remember introducing my dad to sashimi in about 1985 ... and he's been a convert ever since. Even my boys eat nori rolls and love it when I buy them hosomaki at Charlestown. I've got them eating the mixed bentomaki with salmon roe, etc... and they love any of the sweet omelette thingies!
Carla - nigiri are the sushi with toppings, like salmon. Maki are rolls, like nori rolls ... temaki are the cone-shaped rolls. It's a great shame that when my husband's Japanese uncle comes to Australia, he just wants to eat PRAWNS!!!
Aren't they called sushi??
Sushi is the rice mixture quite often used in Nori Rolls. Nori Rolls are so named because the dark green wrapper is Nori seaweed. Sushi is usually a shaped lump of the rice with a prawn or a slice of raw tuna etc plastered on the side. Inari Sushi is the rice mixture inside a pocket of tofu noodle drenched with Mirin.
However Sushi has become a generic western term for all the various types.
When people hear sushi they usually think "raw fish" however when served on its own the raw fish etc is Sashimi.
All the various types are on my most favoured food list.
And made nori rolls for lunch.
I never thought it would happen.
Aren't they called sushi??
And made nori rolls for lunch.
I never thought it would happen.
But of course Christmas here is STINKING HOT so we usually have a roast turkey, but other than that it's pretty much all cold ... lots of seafood, a yummy chicken terrine, salads, and some of the fruit mix goes into icecream to make a frozen 'pudding', rather than a hot one.
Well medicated! I never do that for christmas, I always do Buche de Noel, were French for Christmas! Thanksgiving is coming up will do the usual American apple pie, pecan and pumpkin pie!Although next week for a party at work I will do Tatouillat, pumpkin apple tart in puff pastry, really good with vanilla ice cream!
Advice received, thank you Mr Boozy Fruit Man!
It was all that talk of boozy froot that reminded me I had NO fruit soaking for Christmas!
My kids have had their fingers in it, so they should sleep well tonight!
I had mead for a Jewish holiday once , actually really liked it! Till the next morning! In France they call it hydromel!
Hmmm rum no Armagnac better! Though with prunes!
After three days of hot weather-induced cabin fever with my boys, no matter how much I love them, I could also become a hermit!
My fruit should be nice when I make the cakes in December!! I'm just wondering if I should also throw a little rum in. Might ruin the nice citrus flavour of the GM, though.
Have no idea when we will sample the mead. I was inspired by a 30-year old batch of backyard mead a relative had made in the 1970's ... syrupy and amazing!
There you go Carol little hot toddy in the cake!
Its 13 degrees here, still I rode the bike in this morning back and forthe between lunch, dinner and back again! Felt great getting that cold Canadian air!
I am stying up late baking ciabatta and a Pain au levain fromChristian Vabrets book!(famous baker in France!)
Still I would love to go boho in Europe, stop the train I want to get off.....
my backyard is a bit boho today ... 37 degrees celsius.
Needless to say, we are inside today with the airconditioning on! Although two days of it seems to have appealed to my blueberries!
So to keep myself entertained, I have 'racked' my mead (2 years and one month old!), and started soaking 3 kg of mixed fruit in Grand Marnier for Christmas cake and icecream pudding!
And made nori rolls for lunch.
Nah will become a wandering hermit grow a beard, visit Graham incognito and ask the world to forgive me! The wharf looks a litttle too franchised!
I want something Bohemian, thats where my people came from before they moved to Russia!(not on there own mind you!)

We shear them, we eat them, but we do not shag them. That is the domain of NEW ZEALANDERS.
(This is a joke that may be particular to the southern hemisphere, so if you don't get it, don't worry.)
Undoubtedly so!
Yeah well I'll have to be wooed,Graham had me hooked, I just was a bit teed!
Macho stupidity, doesn't really happen usually, I'm a sheep!
OOOPS you guy's shear them there!
No, not at all ... we'd love to have you share your wit, wisdom and food with us!!!
It's called 'working holiday'!
And TP is probably busy feeding her girls! She's no delicate flower and is capable of a good serve!!
Thanks Carol,
Licking chocolat off spoons well that was staged! The places look nice, maybe I will give up cooking and become a hermit, seems TP was so mad at my bit with Croc that she won't respond to my apology in the pm, oh well
Think I should go to europe instead of pissing off too many folks in the Pacific, hell our Prez already had done that for us!
Or this ...
Amazing building, environmentally friendly, great food.
In fact, the chap who built it and opened the restaurant is about to take over the lighthouse site that I took that earlier photograph from, and open a complex of restaurant, cafe, accommodation ... should be quite spectacular.
Wouldn't that be funny!
You could probably work anywhere from the coast to the Hunter Valley area which has big resorts and very posh restaurants, indeed! I certainly can't afford to eat there!
I'm not sure about spoon-lickers, though!!
But you can torment yourself here ...
Bill, it's amazing the difference it makes! It even smells better!!! And I'm quite a big fan of the development along the harbour/river/Honeysuckle. Full of nice cafes and restaurants, etc.
The photo was taken from a lighthouse atop a good sized headland.
The sandy strip that connects it to the mainland is actually man-made, so it would be no great loss!
Be glad the steelworks have gone Carol, otherwise you wouldn't see as far as your photo shows, even on a clear day.
Hi Carol!
Sorry bout the NY Thread! Just raising my imperial hubris!
You been back to listen to Grahams interview with me yet?
Yeah yeah we had this in the NY thread, don't forget who the other oil guzzlers, nuke freaks and whatever around the planet, all humans are twits!

How are the runts?
Thanks to the goat colostrum they have survived so far.
Pretty tired feeding them all night though.
Will harden my heart tonight I think...
Here's my city:
Gee carol,
Just pray with Mr. Bush that there is no global warming...
Not much to have "land under" there...
Gotta boat yet?
You lick the spoons in your restaurant?
The scallops look nice, but why is it that they are frequently prepared without the coral ... which in my opinion is the best bit?
Here's my city:
I like this piggy from a book on my shelves called 'China - the Beautiful Cookbook' ... whenever I think of this book I think of this succulent, shiny beauty:
That skin looks soooooooooooooooooo yummy.
Well if I have come across as a vegetarian - far from it. I like my steaks rare!
And all our meat is grown and killed by us personally (except the cows as I do not have a coolroom -yet!).
So yes I have no problems eating pigs either (that is why we have them actually).
However we usually pet the little ones and eat the big ones.
I have been known to freeze the goats with names on, so I know who the animal was we are eating and cooking it accordingly - if it was a surplus yearling or an old animal. This has often not gone down too well with the visitors who ask "and what meat is this"? And I can tell them all about the life of Geraldine which is being carved up right now...
Of course I would prefer if they'd jump right into the deep freeze all by themselves and I wouldn't have to do the bloody work. However I do like the odd piece of meat and so I do the lot from scratch.
Oh yes! Man alzheimers setting in all the aluminum in our pots at work!
Hey did you see my pics of my NY photos?[url]http://atcast.typepad.com/photos/scallops/cimg1473-thumb.jpg[/url]

**Lehigh in the News** {online press clippings from other news sources}
The New Yorker (Circulation: 1,003,205)
Michael Behe, professor of biological sciences at Lehigh, was mentioned in a New Yorker article about intelligent design. Behe is a biochemist who writes technical papers on the structure of DNA. He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known. His book, "Darwin's Black Box (1996)" was a surprise best-seller and was named by National Review. Not surprisingly, Behe's doubts about Darwinism began with biochemistry. Fifty years ago, he says, any biologist could tell stories like the one about the eye's evolution. But such stories, Behe notes, invariably began with cells, whose own evolutionary origins were essentially left unexplained.

Able Labs Loses Credit Line
James Largay, professor of accounting at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about Able Laboratories. Able Laboratories, a generic drug maker that halted production and recalled all its products within the past week, has another worry. The company's bank closed off Able's access to a $20 million credit facility, the Cranbury-based manufacturer disclosed late Wednesday. "It sounds to me like they ought to be able to weather this storm for at least a few months," Largay said. "The problem is they're not going to have any more cash coming in for a while."

Preservation Magazine (Circulation: 245,000)
Lehigh was mentioned in a detailed cover story about preserving Bethlehem Steel. "Perched on a hillside above the plant is Lehigh University, founded in 1865 by Asa Packer, a founder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Bethlehem Iron Co.—later rechristened Bethlehem Steel," the article said. "The South Side has reemerged as a lively shopping area with a quirky, retro feel."

Christian Science Monitor (Circulation: 80,191)
A Religious Revival in a City of Secular Art
Norman Girardot, professor of religion studies at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about paintings displayed at the Museum of Biblical Art. The fact that this newly opened museum exists in New York at all signifies a change in the compass that orients how art is viewed. "We're witnessing a worldwide religious revival in response to 9/11," says Girardot. Since the terrorist attacks, "We've all woken up and realized we have to take religion seriously." Hence, the new model offered by the Museum of Biblical Art. "We have this odd entity lodged in the heart of secular New York City, which gives us not just an aesthetic approach but also a contextual approach," Girardot says.

Few Cos. Proactive in Control Deficiency Disclosures
Parveen Gupta, associate professor of accounting at Lehigh, was mentioned in an article about reporting on a company's system of internal controls. Only 28 percent of companies were proactive in bringing the reported control deficiencies to the attention of their external auditors and the audit committee, according to the report, "Control Deficiency Reporting," by Lehigh University accounting professor Parveen P. Gupta and Tim Leech, principal consultant and chief methodology officer of Paisley Consulting.

Seventeenth-Century Islamic Brassmakers were Far Ahead of European Peers, Engineers Say
Manufacturers of brass astrolabes in 17th-century India were two centuries more advanced than their European peers, says a doctoral student at Lehigh University who just completed a four-year study of astrolabes. Brian Newbury, who earned a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering in May, said the high zinc content in astrolabes fabricated in Lahore (now in Pakistan) proves that brass made there in the early 1600s was produced by a co-melting technique that was not developed in Europe until the 19th century. Newbury presented his results at the British Museum in London in April, at Argonne on May 4 and at the Adler Planetarium on May 5. He has been advised in his Ph.D. studies by Michael Notis, professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh and a world-renowned archaeometallurgist.

Small Carved Bone Double Hooks, Set of 3 2 2
No Screws They do not include screws, and unfortunately I did not read the reviews before I ordered them, or I would have know that, as somebody else has already stated that in their review. October 4, 2013
Nice looking hooks I'd have given 5 stars, but the hooks didn't come with any screws. A pair of dark brown screws would have been nice. Other than that they are very attractive hooks. January 26, 2013

I'm the kind of knitter (and crocheter) who likes to make up patterns as I go along. I find that understanding the general idea behind how to make an item lets you be more flexible–and personal–in your designs. In today's post, I'm going to take you through the steps needed to knit a basic, fitted hat for anyone. There's–of course–more than one way to knit a hat, but I find that these are the basics that I keep coming back to.
As with any pattern, I recommend you read all of the directions below, before getting started, so you can get comfortable with the general idea. (And as always, all orange text is clickable for more help.)
You will need:
Here's how to do it:
If you take these basic steps, you'll get a hat similar to our intern Jess's or to Michelle Edwards' pattern, Ed's Hat.
The great thing about this basic pattern is that you can do so much with it! Increase the length of the ribbed portion, so that it can be folded up as a brim. Make stripes instead of only using one color. Replace the stockinette portion with some other stitch pattern (just make sure to make your gauge swatch in step 2 in the new stitch pattern). Add a pom-pom on top like the hat pictured above. Duplicate stitch a design on top of your basic hat. Use a ssk instead of the k2tog to create decorative, left-leaning decreases.
I've even used these basic steps–plus some increases for a puffier look and knitting a longer hat body–to make a loose tam for my mom! The sky's the limit when it comes to your creativity!
Next time, I'll go through the steps to crochet a basic hat–it's also a great way to practice skills that are useful for many of our adorable amigurumi animal patterns.
And for those of you who prefer to follow a set pattern, we have tons of great hat patterns for knitters, crocheters, and loom-knitters available on LionBrand.com! (You can also click on the Wool-Ease Thick & Quick hat pictured above, if you'd like that exact pattern.)

It's no fun when a company discontinues your favorite product (Loreál- I'm looking at you. I still want Le Grand Curl Waterproof Black Mascara back). When we discontinued Cotton-Ease a lot of people were upset. The internet/blog world was grieving the loss of this washable cotton-blend yarn. Campaigns to keep Cotton-Ease began immediately after the announcement that it was being discontinued, emphasizing the "cry of dismay from knitters of all types that this wonderful, washable, basic yarn is being pulled from the shelves."
We consistently heard from so many people upset about the discontinuation of Cotton-Ease that after a just short period without it, we decided to re-introduce it in an updated color palette. Now, it's more versatile than ever with the same great quality yarn and variety of colors. The internet is once again buzzing about Cotton-Ease, but this time rejoicing that it's back. Kryssa on Ravelry summed Cotton-Ease up perfectly: "This is soft, easy to knit with, available in lovely colors and washable. It is wonderful for wearing next to the skin and knits up really well."
And if words aren't enough, your projects say a thousand words. You guys are making all sorts of thing—baby clothes, sweaters, bibs, blankets big and small, even washcloths, toys, and hats.
But don't think that cotton yarn is just for summer! Cotton-Ease is great for transitional fall layering pieces, especially for kids who like to run around outside, jumping in piles of leaves and splashing in the rain. You can also knit Cotton-Ease along with another yarn for warm weather versatility, like with the Cascading Colors Baby Blankie or The Wonderful Wallaby. But don't limit yourself to children's garments; a Cotton-Ease cardigan is a great "back of the office-chair" sweater year round. Some office building crank the AC so high in summer, a cotton sweater is essential to keeping comfortable. And if your building is anything like ours, in an old radiator-heated NYC building, winters can be too hot for anything heavier than cotton. Any of these will warm you up without overheating, and add a jolt of color to your work wardrobe.
What do you use Cotton-Ease for? Show and tell everyone in the comments!

I've used two different seaming methods for my two different blankets.
For "Dolly" the doll sized blanket, I chose to simply sew the 9 little blocks together. I usually use a simple seam that goes like this:
Lay the pieces on a flat stable surface either face up or face down, I often try out a few inches of sewing to see which side is hiding the seam better and then start over with the pieces arranged accordingly. The rows of the 3 different blocks can match up nicely with 2 single crochet rows matching to 1 row of double crochet from another block and of course, one row of single crochet matching up to a row of single crochet. (When planning how many rows I would use in the blocks I took this into consideration) Having these rows of single crochet in every other row of Blocks 2 and 3 really helped me keep track that my seaming matched up as I went along.
There's really nothing to do, but "thread" your needle with your yarn and get started! I simply **start running the needle through the side of a stitch in one corner, work straight into the side of the stitch in the corner of the other block, insert the needle into the side of the stitch in the next row of the same block and then work straight across into the side of the stitch in the matching row of the other block.
**I leave about 6″ of tail. I don't secure the seaming yarn to start, this allows me to adjust the slack in the seam if I need to. After all the seams are tidy I secure each with whatever extra seaming or knotting seems best.
There are many ways to sew a seam, this way just always gives me a result that I like. You can also try whip stitch, back stitch and using single crochet or slip stitch. I used slip stitch to seam my full sized version of this blanket.
Because this blanket is doll sized I was able to lay out the entire thing on a fabric covered cork board. (I love portable work surfaces like this! It allows me to move the project from the table to the couch when I need a change of posture.) I worked the two longer seams first and then worked the 3 shorter widthwise seams. Before I secured the seaming tails I tugged and pulled and shaped the blanket, making sure each seam was "just right" not too loose or too tight. You can tie a little knot here if you feel you must or simply make some secure backstitches and weave in the rest of the tail, trim and your done!
I had intended to do something frilly with the border, yet the blanket seems just right with this simple border.
First I worked single crochet along the sides and around the corners, working 1 sc in each sc , 2 sc in the side of each dc row and rounding the corners with 1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc worked into each corner space. In the photo below the blue dots represent single crochet:
For each following round I worked 1 sc, skipped the next sc, ch 1, sc in the next sc across the round and worked sc, ch 1, sc in the corner spaces. Changing colors with each round helped tie in all the colors used in the blocks and the stitch pattern of alternating single crochet and chain stitches softens the stripe pattern.
For the Purple Monster (this is what I'm calling the full human sized version I'm soooooo close to having completed) I worked a border on each block before working slip stitch seams to join everything.
I used the same 1st round border I used to border the dolly blanket and for the second row I worked a single crochet in each single crochet from the previous round and 1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc in the corner chain spaces. I like the even tailored feel the two rows of well behaved single crochet gave these rather stretchy loopy blocks. Once I had them bordered, the different block patterns were much more similar in size.
Once again, I made sure that the rows in the blocks could match up evenly, 25 sc in block 1 and 17 rows in 2 and 3: matching 2 rows of sc from 1 to 1 row of dc from 2 and 3. This made it much easier to make borders for the blocks with the same number of stitches on each side. The number I should have on each side of a block was repeated in my head like a little mantra and I was as meticulous as possible, counting and recounting while I crocheted. That said, I still found a few missed or added stitches when seaming…. oh well!
I put a sheet down on the floor and arranged my blocks in this "cat fur free zone", sat down in the middle and got moving with the slip stitch seam. For this, I placed two blocks right side together and worked into the outside loops only. This leaves a nice little ridge on the "right side" and creates a seam that lays nicely in the fabric.

We love to see what people are doing with our yarns, and our friend Natalie Zee Drieu, Senior Editor at Craft Magazine, shared with us her adorable pictures of her newly finished hooded baby wrap. It's knit out of Nature's Choice Organic Cotton, a great yarn for baby projects because it's so soft and fluffy.
Nat's dog Lulu was so curious about the blanket, that Nat ended up using her as a model!

We love to see the creative ways that you use our patterns and make them your own. We noticed this blogger's translation of one of our most popular patterns where she used her own favorite yarns and colors to make the blankets and, she shared the fact that she was able to make two of them in four days. This pattern is also very easy, yet has a sophisticated look.

Exchanges juice voluntary market
By National Underwriter
National Underwriter
By Allison Bell
Voluntary product strategists expect the rise of the public exchanges and the expansion of private exchanges to create big new sales opportunities.
When Eastbridge Consulting conducted a voluntary market player survey earlier this year, it found that 70 percent expect PPACA to help increase voluntary product sales.
One factor: Traditional health insurance brokers are thinking a lot harder about diversification.
Sun Life Financial -- a company working its way into the voluntary market -- hosted an exchange launch webcast Tuesday.
Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the modern U.S. health exchange programs, flat out told brokers watching they might have to cope with falling major medical commissions by selling more advice – and by selling other, related products.
Another factor: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act encourages designers of Small Business Health Options Program exchange plans to set high deductibles and high annual out-of-pocket maximums.
Many exchange plans have an annual family cap of $12,000.
The SHOP market might attract just a small percentage of small employers. The new PPACA rules will have almost no direct effect on large, self-insured employers. But the large employers already are moving toward increasing deductibles. If and when the new PPACA Cadillac plan tax on high-value coverage kicks in, that could accelerate the trend.
Voluntary market players expect to see workers in the new, higher-deductible plans buy the same kinds of gap-filling products that holders of high-deductible, health savings account-compatible health coverage now buy.
In theory, the public exchanges could become big voluntary product players themselves. They can help users click through to separate pages that sell other insurance products.
Large benefits consulting firms and managers of Web-based insurance sales systems want to attract employers to new "private exchange programs," or Web-based, multi-plan enrollment systems.
Traditional Web insurance supermarket sites also would like to get a piece of the voluntary action.
