Parents and alumni show support at Bermuda admissions reception
|Tuesday, 15 November 2011
The Trinity College School admissions office hosted its annual Bermuda reception the evening of November 14th, and attendance was the highest it has been in the past decade, reports Kathy LaBranche, director of admissions.
The success of the event was due to a combination of extremely happy current parents and proud alumni spreading the word about TCS, as well as the great work done by Myke Healy, director of teaching and learning, who represented the School at the CAIS Bermuda fair earlier in the month. TCS has a great reputation in Bermuda and there are currently 16 Bermudian students at the School.
The current TCS parents in attendance (Tina and John Rego, Laura and Jeffrey Amaral, Carol Jack, Jenny and John Bradley and Melody and Roger Parris) sang the praises all night of our housemasters, advisors, coaches, facilities, food and more. They were a great support and certainly gave an authentic feel to the evening.
Along with a surprise visit from Nathan Swan '06 and Iain Redford '07, the alumni presence was rounded out by George Holmes '76, Sean Kelly '82 and current associate faculty member Emily Foster '06. Ms. Foster not only helped with the reception, but also with testing and interviewing eight potential students.
It was very gratifying to see the long relationship between TCS and Bermuda remains strong and vibrant!

With all of the Zen I've read, and all of the "just be" mantras I've got scribbled all over my home and notebooks, I've yet to find being myself any easier. I know how to swag it out. How to smooth the edges so the presentation is slick while my brain rams against the walls in my head, demanding everything and nothing of me. I'm better at sorting through the pile of mixed messages in search of what should stick, though even when it sticks, the noise can grow so loud that the whispers of truth are lost.
There are days when I wonder what exactly I need. A dramatic change of scenery? Medication and therapy? An entirely different approach to my life in its current place? I have no answers, but I carry on.
It is hard to be myself. And it shouldn't be, but it is. To cut through what is me versus what I've been groomed to believe versus the self-loathing, and pinpoint what is authentic. Some days, none of it feels real. Other days, everything is so real and violently tears at me to the point I wonder how I'm able to convince people that I'm in one, stable piece.
Most days, it feels like I'm not.
But then I stop and look in the mirror. And touch my skin. And breathe the air in my apartment. And turn on the lights. And cook the meals. And get to work. And laugh with friends. And flirt with the boys. And write the blog posts.
Despite the persistent screaming in my brain that would like me to believe I am one step from blowing my life to bits, when I touch things, I see that they are okay. That I'm okay.

Joe Rudko is a talented artist based in Washington state. In his current series he combines found photographs with his drawings. According to his artist statement: "These works are responses to a shifting relationship with found photographic objects. Collaging a vintage material with hand drawn addendums exposes the vulnerability of the static image." Check out more images after the jump.

Jesse Treece's Vintage Collage
Artist Jesse Treece specializes in collage. Using vintage imagery, he creates surreal scenes and portraits. His collages nearly feel like lost scenes of 1970's science-fiction and horror films. The collages often juxtapose science with nature, inside with outside, and large with small. Treece makes effective use of familiar imagery and styles to create entirely new artwork. The immersive pieces tell fantastic stories, as well as the mundane ones of life through a flood of images.
Vintage Board Games from the Soviet Union
Retronaut recently posted a gallery of early Soviet-era Russian board game designs and illustrations. The images seem to be taken from a LiveJournal user by the name of babs71. You'll find some seriously gorgeous propaganda here. The vintage illustrations depict workers young and old, soldiers bravely entering battle to defend the Motherland,and some nicely stylized industrial complexes. Find more hammer and sickle goodness after the jump.
Bob Staake's Twisted Little Remixes of Classic Kid Tales
Bob Staake, the author and illustrator of more than 50 children's books, has reimagined the covers of kid-friendly classics from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, giving each one a twist that is often more PG-13 than G and always darkly comical. With a simple off-beat quip and a slightly adjusted illustration, those once comforting, sweet tales of little trains that could and hungry little catepillars morph into something a little more sinister and a bit disconcerting. You know what? You can take a look at more of Staake's "Bad Little Children's Books" after the jump, while I go find a stuffed animal to hug.
Modern Celebrity PhotosTransformed Into Vintage 1920's Mugshots
New project from Michael Jason Enriquez, who brought you Cholafied a couple months back. Enriquez, still a student in advertising, is quickly developing a strong track record within the visual realm. It seems that he is able to communicate his pop culture impressions with enormous clarity and ease. Pretty unique quality of execution from someone in such an early stage of his career. Big ups.
The new series is entitled Mugshot Doppelgangers. Enriquez has taken some fairly ubiquitous celebrity mugshots and inserted them into an early 20th-century context:
…Our current mugshots of the rich and famous are plastered with every article, and blog these days, but look uninspired and cheap. That's why I wanted to bring our celebrity mugshots back to a time when love and care was taken to compose a more artful mugshot – back to the 1920's…
…We're so used to seeing celebrity faces on our tv, on blogs, and we even know what their mugshots look like. The tacky looking mugshots we have today are in stark contrast to the mugshots taken in the 1920's. Vintage mugshots have an eerie beauty to them that's lost in current mugshot photography…
Definitely someone to keep tabs on in the future. See more Celebrity Mugshot Doppelgangers after the jump.
Bright Colored Silouettes In Vintage Photography t by Hayley Warnham
I like these digital collage works from British artist Hayley Warnham. Solid, bright color meets vintage 1940's, 50's, and 60's personal photography in the pictures, which capture a nostalgic, innocent vibe. The use of flat color with found photography evokes the work of legendary American artist John Baldesarri. We wonder if he was a direct influence on Warnham. A lot of these are composed in such away that suggests the vantage point of a youngster, which reminds you of a time when things were much simpler. When skylines and relatives may as well have been flat blocks of color with very little texture as far as you were concerned. You didn't yet grasp the complexities of every person and setting in your life, and everything was a mysterious wall of impenetrable brightness. (via)
Nicholas Lockyers' Dark Collage Mutations
Nicholas Lockyers' collage work distorts the human figure in response to out of balance priorities placed on the pursuit of external beauty. Death and Misfortune remain a constant throughout each piece, lending a certain gravity to the fairly familiar aesthetic of "collage culled from vintage illustration archives" which is kind of popular right now. Lockyers definitely has his own thing going on though. His particular selection of imagery is set at a pretty good pitch, and I dig the dark vibes. More snakes, skulls, and bats after the jump.
Classic Horror/Cult/Sci-Fi Foreign B Movie Posters
You can never have too many of these. Here are a few posters from classic Horror/Cult/Sci-Fi/Foreign B movies. Aliens, robots, vampires, zombies, slashers, babes. All the good stuff right here. If you're having trouble finding inspiration for a design/illustration project, or just looking for a new stylistic direction, it's not a bad idea to go over a few of these and loosen up a bit. Do it right, though. We're not talking about straight copying or even borrowing here. Don't be boring. And if you're looking for more of this sort of thing, check out Wrong Side of the Art, a great archive for cult/low budget movie posters and stills.

@RG, we have an extensive history of war profiteering in every war since WW1.... why all of a sudden should I think that N Korea is different than other wars/conflicts we've had world-wide since the early 20th century?
Why all of a sudden should we think this situation is going to be any different than the previous ones? That's really all Im asking here. Call me a kook, but im a little leery of the drums of war.

I read that apparently in May, Carousel of Progress is going to be closed for a very short refurbishment. Unfortunately, since it's only a few days, it really is a short refurbishment as they stated.
However, does anyone agree that they really need to do a big refurbishment, like change the last scene for example? Almost every decade since it came out it has had a big refurbishment with changing the last scene. The last time that was done was in the 90's and they didn't even change it in the 2010's.
I'm sure this topic might have been discussed to death, but I'm curious as to what people think needs to be really done and what needs to change. Just curious to know peoples ideas.

Proposed NT Abattoir Creating Jobs And Ending Live Exports
April 3rd 2012 01:51
The Gillard government should get behind a new Darwin abattoir proposed by the Australian Agricultural Company which is estimated to create 270 jobs, Greens Senator and animal welfare spokesperson Lee Rhiannon said.
By growing the Australian meat processing industry we can create an alternative to live exports as well as thousands of jobs, she said.
Chief executive of Australian Agricultural Company, David Farley, has questioned the Gillard government's priorities in handing $215 million to General Motors Holden a fortnight ago and how federal Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig and Trade Minister Craig Emerson could last week find $20 million of taxpayer funds to help the Indonesian government build its beef industry, yet not back the growth and future security of the northern Australian cattle industry.
RSPCA Australia CEO, Heather Neil, has also weighed in with support for the proposed abattoir.
She said the RSPCA sees Australian Agricultural Companys proposed facility as an important infrastructure project that will improve the welfare of cattle by effectively reducing the distance travelled for thousands of cattle each year.
The welfare of cattle will be improved if they are slaughtered as close to the point of production as possible, she said.
Australian Bureau of Statistics data tracks the decline in the number of meat processing jobs in Australia, from between 40,000 to 48,000 workers in the 1970s to around 32,000 workers in 2009. There were 475 abattoirs in Australia at the end of the 1970s, dropping to 315 abattoirs by 1995/96.
The Greens will continue our campaign to ban live animal exports which would not only end the cruel suffering of animals, but see abattoirs re-opened, especially in northern Australia, Senator Rhiannon said.
A 2010 report commissioned by Australias leading meat processors - Teys Bros, Swift Australia and Nippon Meat Packers Australia - into the future of the Queensland Beef Industry and the impact of live cattle exports reached damning conclusions, she said.
The report found that live cattle exports are threatening to destroy $3.5 billion worth of assets, $5 billion in turnover and 36,000 jobs.
The increased live export of Queensland cattle to Indonesia also meant lost processing opportunities in Queensland, according to the report, Senator Rhiannon concluded.

Something interesting is going on. Jennifer this morning reported that Obama had reached a new low in the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll yesterday, at -16. The latest results, released a couple of hours ago, show the president at -19 a mere 24 hours later.
Not surprisingly, Obama's popularity began declining right after Inauguration Day, as the messy reality of actually governing replaced the warm glow of rhetoric. He was at +28 on January 21st but down to +10 a month later. He slipped into negative territory in June, when he was at -2 on June 21st. By November 21st, he was at -13.
But the last week was been brutal: -11 last Monday, -10 on Tuesday, -11 on Wednesday, -12 on Thursday and Friday, -16 on Saturday, -19 today.
Perhaps even worse for Obama has been the sharp decline in the number of those who strongly approve. That number dropped by 4 percentage points this week, from 27 percent to 23 percent, while the strongly disapproving increased an equal amount.
And the decline is across the board:
Just 41% of Democrats Strongly Approve while 69% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 21% Strongly Approve and 49% Strongly Disapprove.
Polls, like markets, fluctuate on a daily basis. One day's or even one week's change doesn't amount to much. But the chart below sure looks like a political bear market to me. And in politics, that translates into a loss of power to persuade other politicians to go along. With public approval of the Senate Health Care bill at an all-time low (-32 in the latest CNN poll), it seems as though it will be increasingly difficult for the president to persuade all 60 Democrats and Independents in the Senate to walk that particular plank.
My guess is that if just one of the needed 60 senators were to announce that he or she would not vote for cloture this month, regardless of what Harry Reid comes up with in the next few days, ("I'm in favor of health-care reform, but we need to consider this more carefully" — translation: I like my job and want to keep it) others would quickly follow. That would push it into 2010 and, almost surely, into a richly deserved political oblivion.

Rice is a kind of grain, or grass, like wheat, millet, or barley, which provides carbohydrates to people who eat its seeds. It grows wild in south-east Asia. People probably first began to farm rice in Thailand, about 4000 BC. From there, people learned how to grow rice in southern China (north of Thailand) and in India (west of Thailand). Certainly people were growing rice in India in the Harappan period (about 2500 BC) and in China in the late Stone Age (about 3000 BC). Rice may have been brought to West Asia and Greece about 300 BC by the armies of Alexander the Great. By the time of the Roman Empire, people were growing some rice around the Mediterranean Sea, in southern Europe and North Africa including Egypt (but not as much as in China or India). By 800 AD, thanks to trade with India and Indonesia, people in East Africa were also growing rice. Soon people were growing rice all over southern Africa.
Rice paddy in China
It was probably Chinese farmers who first invented the rice paddy. This is a system of growing rice in artificial (man-made) ponds, which saves water and also helps to kill weeds.
Men harvesting rice in China
In the Late Middle Ages in Europe, people blamed rice and the standing water in rice paddies for causing malaria by giving the mosquitoes a good place to lay their eggs. Many towns discouraged farmers from planting rice to try to prevent malaria.
When European settlers came to North
America in the 1600s AD, they brought rice with them, and planted it
in the south-east part of the continent where the climate was right for
it (modern North and South Carolina). West
African people who were forced to come to North America as slaves
also brought rice with them. By the 1700s a lot of farmers were growing
rice in North and South Carolina. Rice fields helped to spread malaria in North America too.
After the Civil War, in the late 1800s, people also began to grow rice across the rest of the South, especially in Louisiana and Mississippi, and parts of Texas and California. But most people in Europe and North America continued to eat more bread and noodles than rice, and most people in South America continued to eat more corn, and it was people in southern Asia and southern Africa who ate most of the rice.
People usually cook rice by boiling or steaming it to make it soft. You can eat it plain, or with a sauce of vegetables or meat or fish, or sweetened and baked into rice pudding. Or you can crush rice into a powder and use it to make rice noodles. Rice is a good source of carbohydrates (energy).

Why Interracial Marriage Is Good for Black Women - and the Best Hope for Restoring Marriage in the Black Community
Publication Date:August 30, 2011
Format:Working Paper
Full Text of Publication
hy Interracial Marriage Is Good for Black Women - and the Best Hope for Restoring Marriage in the Black Community A discussion paper prepared for the Council on Contemporary Families by Ralph Richard Banks, Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law, Stanford Law School, August 30. CCF colleagues and senior scholars have written brief responses, and their remarks are available from CCF. --More than 2 out of every 3 black women are currently unmarried, as are a majority of black men, and black women are 3 times aslikely aswhite women never to marry. --College educated black women are twice as likely as their white peers never to marry, and a majority of college-educated black wives have less educated husbands. These figures are often blamed on the shortage of stable and employed men in low-income communities, and there's considerable truth in that explanation. But racial gaps in marriage span the socioeconomic spectrum. At every income level black men are less likely than white men to be married. Indeed, by some measures, the racial gap is actually wider among affluent men than among their economically disadvantaged counterparts. In most racial-ethnic groups, increases in income consistently translate into a greater likelihood of marriage. But the most affluent black men-those who earn more than $100,000 a year -- are actually less likely to marry than their lower earning but economically stable counterparts, men who earn, say, $50,000 or $60,000 a year. One way to understand these features of the contemporary African-American relationship scene is the gender imbalance at all income and educational levels. In lower-income groups, black men have fallen behind their female counterparts, victims of a criminal justice system that incarcerates them en masse, an educational system that fails them, and a labor market that offers few lawful economic opportunities for poorly educated men. At any given time, more than 1 in 10 black men in their twenties and early thirties-prime marrying ages-is incarcerated. But there is also a shortage of potential partners for middle-income and high-income black women. Many of the union jobs and other work that once allowed male high school graduates to earn middle-income wages have vanished, even as jobs that traditionally employ females have expanded. Only half as many black men as women complete college. The ranks of eligible black men are depleted further still by intermarriage: black men are 2 to 3 times as likely as black women to marry someone of another race, and economically successful black men are the most likely to do so. While many black women don't marry because they have too few options, some black men don't marry because they have too many. In the relationship market, scarcity equals power: The better one's options outside the relationship, the more leverage one can exert within it. A desirable black man who ends an unsatisfying relationship will find many other women waiting. That's not true for black women, especially those who limit their relationships to black men. When black women do marry, they are likely to marry men with less education or earnings than themselves. Half of all college-educated black wives have a husband with less education - often significantly less. In a world where successful marriages increasingly depend on shared interests rather than separate spheres, this incompatibility contributes to lower rates of marital satisfaction and higher rates of divorce in the black community. Some black men use their scarcity advantage, as men in other racial-ethnic groups and cultures have also done in similar situations, to maintain relationships that are sexually intimate but not monogamous. Research suggests that black men are more likely than any other group of American men to maintain relationships with multiple women. The end result is above-average rates of discord and distrust between black men and women. Certainly, not all black men take advantage of the numbers imbalance. But when her partner's behavior is less than satisfactory, a black woman, recognizing that she is on the wrong side of a numbers imbalance, may feel she has few options and hence little power to demand a different arrangement. The most common response to the waning of black marriage has been to redouble the pressure on black women to uplift the community by bonding with their brothers in need. Black women have been urged -- by marriage activists, advice magazines, and often by their friends and families -- to "save" black men. Interracial marriage has been cast as a form of abandonment or betrayal. Better to remain single or put up with a partner's bad behavior, the thinking goes, than to "betray the race." Black women are further discouraged from looking elsewhere by the widespread belief that they have few options for forming relationships with men who are not black. Much has been made, for example, of an OkCupid website study finding that black women send the most messages and receive the fewest replies of any group, and that white men write back to black women 25 percent less frequently than they should based on the compatibility scores the website calculates. But fixating on that finding underestimates black women's prospects in an integrated relationship market. In that same OkCupid study, Latino, Middle Eastern, Indian and Native American men all responded to black women at rates substantially higher than did white men. In fact, some of these groups of men responded to black women at higher rates than did black men! The scarcity factor works in black women's favor when they look beyond their own race. Black women constitute only 13 percent of the total female population, while non-black men are roughly 87 percent of the male population. Even taking into account that some white men may not want to date black women, there are more white men who are willing to form a relationship with a black woman than there are black women available to date. When we include other racial-ethnic groups, the odds get even better. There are certainly three or more times as many non-black men willing to date black women as there are black women. In interviewing black women for my forthcoming book, I discovered many reasons that black women hesitate to cross the race line in their search for love. Many feel an understandable loyalty to their male counterparts, because they know all too well the that racist indignities and injustices persist of the racist legacy in America. Some fear rejection by their partner's family or their own. Some assume that men of a different race, white men in particular, won't know anything about black women, black culture, or black history, and will lack the ability or desire to learn. Others worry that as a result of racist stereotypes, some non-black men will view a black woman as a fetish object or an exotic adventure, someone to experience but not to love. And some black women remain within the race because they want their children to identify as black and fear that if they are biracial, they won't. They don't want children whose complexion is so light that their black mother may be mistaken for the nanny. These and other explanations given by the women I interviewed are all very understandable. Yet as interracial marriage becomes ever more accepted, black women willing to enter the integrated romantic marketplace will find considerable benefits. Some research suggests that black women who marry outside the race are less likely to divorce than those who marry within it. One reason for this is that, in general, college-educated black women may have more in common with their white, Asian, or Latino classmates and co-workers than with a black guy they grew up with who never went on to higher education. By marrying out, black women avoid the need to marry down. If significant numbers of black women embark on interracial relationships, this will help counteract the power imbalance that diminishes the marriage rate and corrodes relationships in the black community. The more black women expand their relationship options, the less power black men will wield, and the greater ability black women will have to create the kind of relationship they desire. It is difficult to resist this paradoxical conclusion: If more black women married non-black men, then more black men and women would marry each other.

Interviewer: "Do you think it [Merlin] might come back in any form? There's always a talk about Merlin the movie... Will there be one?" Alex Vlahos: "It's one of the questions I can't answer. Because it's... It's Colin's show, really (and Johnny and Julian's). You couldn't do the show without him. You couldn't. So, if he said no, then it's always going to be a no, I think."

Holidays to Croatia (Dubrovnik) There is little wonder that Dubrovnik was baptised the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its decorative marble buildings existing alongside rich Baroque influenced architecture; a cheap package holiday to Croatia must include a stay in Dubrovnik! For short breaks and cheap holidays to Dubrovnik, the surrounding beaches offer the best of both worlds as you can do as much or as little as you please. Rich in culture, heritage and cosmopolitan appeal, Dubrovnik is well and truly on the map with the Mediterranean jetset. Impressive Sites and Scenery on Holiday in Dubrovnik The focal point of most cheap package holidays to Dubrovnik and the medieval heart of the city is a UNESCO world heritage site, remaining beautifully intact and atmospheric within 13th century ramparts. No cars are allowed and wandering the narrow cobbled streets is like stepping back in time. Surrounded by the sparkling Adriatic on three sides and backed by wooded slopes, a cheap holiday to Dubrovnik boasts ma ...

"From a strategic planning perspective, this is the wrong site; from the perspective of Government policy which seeks to foster balanced regional development, this is the wrong site; from the perspective of minimising environmental impact, this is the wrong site; and consequently, from the perspective of sustainable development, this is the wrong site"
A delegation of Shell to Sea supporters including independent observer Fr Michael Nallen were refused entry to a Dáil committee meeting on natural resources this week.
The group travelled to Dublin on the invitation of Deputy Leader of Fianna Fáil Éamon Ó Cuív on Tuesday but were denied entry to the meeting upon arrival.
According to a spokesperson for the group, they were first told that the public gallery of the committee meeting room was full and they would be put into a separate room with a video link. They were then told that because they were a protest group they would not be allowed inside the gates of the Dáil.
A statement issued by Mayo Shell to Sea said Deputy Ó Cuív told the group he was "powerless" to do anything about their exclusion from the meeting.
Speaking on being stopped entering the Dáil, Fr Nallen said: "There was no logic in the decision to prevent us observing the committee meeting in its discussion on natural resources. All we came to do was observe the workings of the committee, and the people who were turned away were not participating in any protest. We, at the very least, deserve a proper explanation and an apology for the way we were treated. This is not credible democracy."

Public and private school principals could designate teachers and other school employees who would carry concealed weapons on campus at all times in an effort to make schools safer, under legislation that won approval Wednesday from a Florida House committee.
It gives principals the option to designate one or several school employees to carry concealed weapons. The designee would be required to complete the same training that bank and courthouse security guards complete in addition to the statewide firearms training. Principals could also decline the concealed weapons option altogether.
Proponents of the bill argued that since the state can't afford to put a school resource officer on every campus, the gun legislation is a commonsense alternative.

Over the past week, various Republican members of the House of Representatives have shown support for some of the key provisions of S-744, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill passed by the Senate in June. The additional support is promising, especially in light of House speaker John Boehner statement that he would not bring immigration reform to the floor unless a vast majority of the House GOP supports the bill.
Daniel Webster of Florida and Aaron Schock of Illinois expressed support for the legalization process for undocumented immigrants and a path to citizenship. The two GOP members did qualify their support on certain pre-conditions being met, which include a secure border, payment of back taxes, no criminal history, a probation period, and requiring applicants to go to the back of the line—i.e. behind those waiting for permanent residence through existing lawful channels. Kevin McCarthy of California also announced support for legal status, though he did not say whether he would support a path to citizenship.
The new GOP support brings the total number House Representatives in support of legal status for undocumented immigrants to 21. 21 may not yet be the magic number, but it's a number moving in the right direction.

Josephine Desk 33 33
Beautiful and sleek Desk is absolutely beautiful, sturdy, and easy to assemble as you only need to screw in the legs and that's it. Highly recommended. February 28, 2015
Exceeds Expectations I cannot rave about this desk enough. I bought this for my daughter's room but secretly wish it was mine! The style and quality are right on. We paired this desk with a hot pink Lucille Ottoman also from World Market to give her a space that she can grow with. Assembly was a piece of cake, less than 10 minutes to attach the legs. January 23, 2015
Good quality and great price I was looking for a white desk to put against a wall in my bedroom so I would be relaxed while working from home. I probably looked for around 3 months and after reading the reviews went with the Josephine Desk. I was a little concerned buying on-line but the quality of desk surpassed my expectations. Really sturdy and well made. I can just about change batteries in smoke detectors but putting the legs on the desk was so easy and took me 15 minutes. So enjoyable to sit at desk and check my emails from home. I bought a desk protector to put my monitor on to avoid scratches. So happy I purchased!!! January 5, 2015
Even better than I hoped it would be. This desk is exceptionally well-made. The fit and finish are exactly what you see on the website. The only assembly required is screwing the legs on. The drawer action is smooth and reliable. The desk is very solid and feels like a much more expensive piece. It arrived in excellent condition, on time. I highly recommend this product. December 16, 2014
A+ Desk! This desk is A+. I've never been more obsessed with a white desk. Will make your room/office beautiful! August 24, 2014
Love, Love, Love This was exactly the look and size I wanted. Keyboard tray works nicely. Was able to set up in 10 minutes!!! Bonus! I was going to paint it pink - but loved the nice smooth finish so much that I left it white. Very good piece of furniture for the price! August 14, 2014
Great Desk! This desk is my dream come true! It was super easy to assemble by myself and looks amazing in my house. The surface area is smaller than expected but I don't mind it because you can keep your keyboard underneath in the pull-out drawer. It has a high gloss finish which gives it a glam feel but I'm sure it will show scratches easily so be careful! All in all, I love my desk and it's the perfect workspace for inspiring good ideas :) August 6, 2014
GORGEOUS! I recently went to a J.Adler sample sale, and this desk looks VERY SIMILAR to the desk which on SALE was $1000! What a bargain this desk is! Looks gorgeous, and is quite sturdy. I love the Hollywood Regency look and this goes with my theme! 100% satisfied! May 28, 2014

Theres plenty to discover past CCCs entrance signs on College Drive
Hundreds of cars and trucks ride every day on College Drive, a road that loops from Delsea Drive to Sherman Avenue. The vehicles pass the Cumberland County College entrance signs as their drivers proceed to the Cumberland Mall, Route 55 or scores of other destinations.
Many of the drivers and passengers dont realize that theres a vibrant world beyond the entrance signs. Those who are not students or stake holders may not be aware of the miracles that occur on campus every day.
Paul Navone used to be one of our countys residents who drove by the college often, not knowing what existed beyond the entrance signs. And then he was given a campus tour about two years ago.
A retired quality control specialist, Mr. Navone discovered that CCCs campus really is a special place that offers programs, services and events for a diverse community. During his visit, Mr. Navone talked with students and professors, strolled throughout the beautiful, park-like campus and viewed equipment demonstrations in the modern buildings.
After his tour, Mr. Navone was compelled to donate $1 million to support the healthcare career education pathway in which students prepare to enter make a difference careers in nursing, radiography and other health-related professions. Today, students can receive a first-rate education in the Paul Navone Healthcare Education Center.
More and more residents are making the turns at the CCC entrance signs, rather than speeding by on College Drive. Enrollment has grown steadily during the past decade. Last week, the Daily Journal reported that for the first time in the colleges 43-year history - the 4,000th student registered for fall semester courses.
The winner of the student in the right place at the right time is Michelle Oliver, a flight attendant and mother of three grown children. Ms. Oliver is a wonderful representative of the colleges diverse student population, which mirrors the population in Cumberland County. She is a returning adult with a career and a family who is continuing her education with the goal of becoming a registered nurse.
CCC offers something of interest for almost everyone. In addition to taking courses, residents can attend entertainment events in the Guaracini Arts Center and hold top-notch organizational meetings at the Luciano Conference Center.
So if you havent yet made the turn on College Drive into CCCs campus, we invite you to contact us at 856-691-8986 or visit www.cccnj.edu. Youll be pleasantly surprised by whats offered at your neighborhood community college.

On Wednesday, five members of the Chattanooga Lookouts were named to the Southern League All-Star team, according to a press release from the league.
Southern League North Division All-Stars
Position Players: 1B/C J.T. Wise, 3B Pedro Baez, OF Blake Smith
Pitchers: RHP Matt Magill, RHP Ethan Martin
I've written about Magill's and Martin's success this season, so their selections come as no surprise. Magill hasn't pitched as well in his last couple outings, but he's been solid this season overall. Martin got roughed up a little on Wednesday, but he's still the ace of the staff.
Wise is leading the team in batting average, on-base percentage (16th in league), hits, doubles (2nd in league), walks, and OPS. Smith leads the team in home runs (10th in league), RBI (10th in league), runs scored (2nd in league), and slugging percentage. Both are tied for the team lead in total bases, good for 13th in the league.
Baez is the only surprise to me. He's having an okay season (.245/.357/.380), but those numbers don't scream "All-Star" to me. Third base in the Southern League must be as barren as it is in the Dodgers system.
Either way, it's nice to see the guys get well-deserved recognition.
The All-Star Game will be held on June 19th at the Tennessee Smokies park in Kodak, Tennessee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 — Although Rudolph W. Giuliani is campaigning as President Bush's staunch ally in the war on terror, his law office has lobbied Congress on behalf of legislation that the Bush administration calls a threat to antiterrorism efforts in the Horn of Africa.Mr. Giuliani was not personally involved in the lobbying last year on behalf of the company's client, the American wing of a dissident Ethiopian political party known as the Coalition for Unity and Democracy, leaders of the group said.But the firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, used Mr. Giuliani's name in its pitch to win the assignment, and his clout was a reason it landed the job, said Seyoum Solomon, an Ethiopian-American from Maryland who helped negotiate the deal."He is a popular Republican, a good friend of the president and he might have some influence on the State Department," Mr. Solomon said to explain the hiring decision.The legislation sought by the dissidents proposes restrictions in American aid if Ethiopia does not agree to share power with opposition parties and take other steps promoting democracy. As part of its work, the Giuliani group set up a meeting at the White House last year at which the administration was urged to consider the viewpoint of a consortium of Ethiopian political parties that included Mr. Solomon's group, as well as a more militant rebel organization. ......The Bush administration supports the government in Ethiopia as a bulwark against terrorism and has characterized the legislation as a liability in that effort.A White House spokesman declined comment on Bracewell & Giuliani's role. A State Department official described the legislation that the firm helped to push as detrimental. "The reality is, in fact, it does harm a relationship" with an ally, the official said.

Download the complete Summary of Research Questions Identified Through the Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Research Forum (pdf, 23 pages)
Patricia Speck presented on this topic. The field needs information on what SAMFE telemedicine practices exist around the
country (not all do real-time exams) and the benefits, challenges, and limitations of telemedicine. Programs that are using
telemedicine in conjunction with the SAMFE need to be studied regarding their practices, such as the California program that
uses/will use telemedicine with adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients (previously only used with pediatric patients),
and the Florida program that works with pediatric patients. There are also examiners who act as expert consultants who could
be surveyed. Ultimately, standards in using telemedicine in these cases are needed. [1]
There were concerns related to privacy when using telemedicine (for example, whether a videotape made by the telemedicine
consultant would be discoverable material). Participants did not know of existing protocols that addressed privacy issues
in using telemedicine to provide consultation, training, case review, or real-time exams. Guidelines related to privacy will
have to be developed as part of best practices and differentiate for different uses. Among other issues, the guidelines will
need to speak to the secure storage and chain of custody of electronic images.
Participants spent time discussing additional real-time exam issues. They identified the need for evaluation of 24/7/365 remote
access programs and processes (involving, but necessarily limited to, real-time applications of telemedicine). Some questions
included —
Any program that offers telemedicine will need to build an infrastructure to define its priorities and limitations and how
to address the variety of issues that might arise.
Next section: Conclusions and Next Steps.
[1] Note that during this conversation, it was not always clear whether participants' comments were in reference to real-time
telemedicine practices or more broadly to any telemedicine practice.
[2] Note that there are a variety of synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (store and forward transmission of medical images
and information) tools that can be used in telemedicine. Some examples of real-time tools: telephone, audio, Web, and video
conferencing, conferencing with peripheral devices to aid in an interactive examination, chat, and instant messaging. Some
examples of asynchronous tools are e-mailing, streaming audio and video, discussion boards, and blogs. See What is Telemedicine (pdf, 11 pages) Exit Notice.

Flood Safety Remains Priority…Urges Residents Use Caution and Common Sense
Water has receded a bit in Fort Fairfield, but officials say they're still eyeing the river. Most importantly they're warning folks to use caution and common sense in staying safe until the potential for flooding is no longer a threat. Shawn Cunningham reports.
00:00 Fort Fairfield
(track 1)
The water has gone down a bit but flooding potential still exists say Fort Fairfield municipal officials. As a result they warn people to be careful over the next few days. Tony Levesque is the Fort Fairfield Flood Planning Coordinator and says
"The river has receded but it still could come back up and people need to stay out of roadways that are blocked off and stay away from any barricades and definitely do not go across the flooded roads, you do not know if that road is there."
Levesque says in the past few days, he's seen several incidences of people using bad judgement in trying to catch of glimpse of the ice jams and high water.
"Some very smart people got into harm's way the other day just to take pictures they wanted to get as close to the event as they possibly could and we had to send a police officer to convince them that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
(track 3)
Levesque says people should refrain from being too close to the river over the next week or so until officials put the word out that the flood threat is gone. He says when people use bad judgement they not only put their own lives at risk, but they also risk the lives of those who try to help.
"By them being in harm's way we have to keep them from getting in harm's way which puts our personnel in harm's way to remove them."

Everybody loves a big-screen classic -- which may be why Emmy-winning actress Patricia Heaton is about to star in a remake of Neil Simon's classic film "The Goodbye Girl."
TNT is making the new version for a small-screen appearance, reports Variety. Heaton, 45, of long-running hit series "Everybody Loves Raymond," is in "final negotiations" to re-create the role originated by Marsha Mason -- who nabbed an Oscar nomination for her 1977 turn as the woebegone divorcee sharing her New York apartment with a struggling actor.
Playwright Simon has signed on to rewrite and executive produce the new "Girl," which is a co-production of Warner Bros. TV and TNT (which, like PEOPLE, are owned by AOL Time Warner).
For her part, Heaton -- who's taken home the Emmy twice for her "Raymond" role -- told Variety she's both "ecstatic and nervous" about the job. "When my agent at UTA brought up the possibility, I didn't dare entertain it," she said. "I just love that movie, and Marsha Mason was incredible. And for anyone who loves theater, Neil Simon is an icon."
The role of the would-be actor -- originally played by Richard Dreyfuss -- has not yet been cast, but producers will presumably be working quickly; filming is set to begin this summer.

Video:Holiday Attractions at Disney California Adventurewith Arthur Levine
Holiday attractions at Disney California Adventure make the park a great place to spend the winter holidays. Watch this About.com video to learn more about holiday attractions at Disney California Adventure.See Transcript
Transcript:Holiday Attractions at Disney California Adventure
Hi, I'm Arthur Levine the Theme Parks Guide at About.com. It's the holiday season at Disney California Adventure. Let's see how the park celebrates this magical time of year.
Holiday Attractions on Buena Vista Street
Buena Vista Street, at the front of the park, is designed to evoke a bustling 1920s-era Los Angeles boulevard. Its shops are decked out in hundreds of lights and period decorations. Just as they did decades ago, children and their families flock to the downtown department store, which on Buena Vista Street is Elias and Company, to meet Santa Claus and present him with their wish lists.
More Holiday Attractions at Disney California Adventure
A troupe of bell ringers perform carols and seasonal songs and welcome guests to sing along. At the end of the street, in the park's Carthay Circle, an enormous Christmas tree heralds the holidays. Elsewhere in the park, glittering lights and decorations adorn the buildings and streets.
Holiday Attractions in Cars Land
Cars Land, the home of Lightning McQueen, Mater, and their talking car pals, is especially festive. It turns out that the engaging automobiles really get into the spirit of the season. Befitting the people, er, cars, who call Radiator Springs home, each of the businesses that line Route 66 heading into the town has a distinctive look for the holidays. Fillmore's Taste-In goes for a groovy getup. The Cozy Cone Motel and Flo's V8 Café remain retro for the season. And Luigi's Casa della Tires brings a bit of European flair to his shop at Christmas time. Making spirits bright happens at the park throughout the year. During the holidays, it's even merrier.

New Analysis Suggests a Comet, Not an Asteroid, Killed Off Dinosaurs
Scientists say that the rocky space object that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago might not have been an asteroid, and could have instead been a comet.
The Chicxulub crater in Mexico, which measure 112-miles across, was made by the impact which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and 70% of all species on Earth. According to a new study the crater was likely blasted out out by a faster, smaller object than originally thought.
Evidence of the object's impact is derived from a global layer of sediments that contain high levels of the element iridium, which is also known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary and could have have occurred on Earth naturally. The new research, which was presented last week at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas.
New research suggests that the often cited iridium values are incorrect. Researchers arrived at this conclusion by comparing these valued with levels of osmium, which is another element that was delivered via the impact. Their calculations indicate that the space rock generated less debris than had previously been thought, which implies that it was a smaller object than an asteroid. For something to have created a crater so large, it would have had to have been travelling exceptionally fast.
Jason Moore, a paleoecologist at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, said:
"How do we get something that has enough energy to generate that size of crater, but has much less rocky material? That brings us to comets."
Comet are balls of ice, dust and rock particles. They are differentiated from asteroids by their eccentric orbits and thin, fuzzy atmospheres known as comas or tails. The researchers say that the Chicxulub impact is more compatible with a long-period comet, which could take hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years to orbit the sun just once.
The researchers note that it is still possible that a very rapidly moving asteroid caused the impact, but contend that the fastest space objects that have been observed are mostly comets.
Not everyone, however, is convinced of the comet theory.

1) Prices charged were higher than what was shown on the menu. 2) waited 40 minutes for takeout. 3) gave me the wrong order and then when I checked the "corrected" order it was missing items. 4) there were a total of 3 cashews in the cashew chicken.

My friends and I constantly debate this, is the name of this place ott, O.T. T., or 6tt. It's unclear from the sign on the building. Either way, I like the food at otT, because it is always very hoT. Its no nong, but then again what is?
Posted by greenpointer on 05/16/2010
we like erb better but ott is closer and equally cheap. the tofu pad thai had a lot of tofu and the tom ka was a good sweet and sour balance, although the chicken in the soup wasn't that exciting. eating in isnt that exciting but the service is attentive and they have hot sauce and are very accommodating.
Posted by Paola on 02/22/2010
Amazing food, super cheap prices and great service, what else could you ask for?
Posted by UKNY on 10/12/2009
I gave this place a 1 for atmosphere because it at least is indoors when it's raining. There is no atmosphere in this very cold square room. Food is inconsistent and service a little weird. Do Not order out. The quality of the delivered food is all over the place.
Posted by anonymous on 08/15/2009
Ott has a great lunch special -- $6.95 for an entree w/soup or salad. I chose the salad, which was generous, covered with bean sprouts, shredded carrots, a few pieces of fried tofu and lots of tasty peanut dressing. The chicken in red curry was wonderful...it had a lot of sauce, which is key, and was quite spicy but not overwhelming. I was also happy to see the addition of eggplant in the dish, since some places only give you eggplant w/green curry. My husband loved the pad thai. A good value for tasty Thai food.

Freshest ingredients, quickest turnaround, best owners/staff in Greenpoint. Far and away outshines the nearby cafes, on par with local favorites.

Thoughts you will never know.
There are some, who get to see their dreams
live them, know their reality.
There are those, who never see those dreams,
nor care to become a part of them.
There are some, who's reason for living,
is to try and dissipate the essence of anther's dreams.
There are those, who are souls that become,
a spot light, shinning brightly upon other,s dreams.
There are some, who love nothing more than be a part,
of positive dreams - other's and their own.
There are those, who's lives, their dreams,
are not but nightmares in the light of their days.
