Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent customer service. My initial package got lost in the mail (due to a local post service strike), and Lawson sent a new one at no charge. Will definitely buy again.
Rating: 4 / 5
Without going into a long version of it, I think I've bought 2-3 things from Lawson and generally had good email communication and interaction with him about his products. He offers unique items and the free shipping is always a huge huge plus in my book. I like that he uses USPS as they are my preferred carrier for deliveries.I had one snafu with Lawson but it did get resolved. A dry bag did not fit my sleeping bag so I sent it back. It took a few months to finally get things sorted out but eventually it was taken care of. Part of it was slow responses from me on a few points, and the on the back end I think my emails got lost by Lawson, which he apologized for. I'd definitely recommend him as a vendor as he is an American business with made in the USA products, with overall great prices and unique offerings.

I initially found this business while i was at work on my cell phone (samsung galaxy s2) i went ahead and ordered what i thought was 2 yards of 1.5oz cuben. when i went to check on my order on my home computer, i realized i had only ordered 2 linear feet! The product descriptions didnt come up on the mobile site. it was easily sorted out, but i still felt that because the mobile version of his sight misrepresented the product, that i was getting one pulled over on me. not a big deal, mistakes were made and communication was quick, if not pleasant. I waited a few days and recieved a package in the mail, which contained 2 yards of .75oz cuben, which i hadnt ordered. i immediately emailed lawson and stated my problem. i offered to pay for the product or to send it back. he told me to keep it and he would ship out the correct product the next day. i thought great! i have some lightweight fabric i can play with and get the feel of and then i can play with the heavier stuff to see what i like. it has been 16 days since he was going to ship it. i emailed him letting him know that i hadnt recieved what i had paid for and that i wasnt amused. He got to be very defensive and insulting towards me as a consumer. going so far as to tell me that i was "just that kind of person that is never satisfied" and "i should have given you a refund from the beginning". I feel that while he wasnt in the wrong completely, he should have at least accepted some responsibility as a small business owner and fixed the mobile version of HIS website. so at this point, my rating of him is a solid 1. 1 for shipping the wrong product, 1 for horrible customer service, and 1 for not being able to act like an adult during a transaction process that should be quick and clean. i will not be doing business with him again. Any questions or comments on this review can be emailed to me or PM'd to me through BPL.Thanks-ThomasEDIT: As of March 23, 2012 i still have not received the 2 linear feet of cuben fiber that i ordered. I am not even going to try to deal with this company again. I will be calling VISA and asking for a refund.

Lawson sells unique items at very reasonable prices, usually with free shipping. His ship times are fast and communication is excellent. He's even taken the time to answer my questions about how best to construct using Cuben fiber.
I've purchased from Lawson Equipment several times. Items always as described. Very prompt shipping and replies to all inquiries! Bends over backwards to help customer out!!! ( I placed large order and several days later got an email with a % off coupon.... ugh, but Lawson was willing to extend the coupon expiration until my next order so I didn't miss out on the deal!!)Keep it up Lawson! Thanks!
I've purchased from Lawson on several different occasions. I've always gotten excellent service, fast shipping (especially considering I live clear across the country!), and good interaction via email.Highly recommended!
Just want to put in a good word for Lawson Equipment (formerly Mountainfitter) based on my recent experience as customer. Last spring, probably due to a postal strike in my area, a small order didn't make it to me in the mail. This spring, when consulting him about another potential order, I asked if he'd heard anything about my previous order that didn't arrive. He offered to send me some gear to replace what would've been in that package. I told him not to bother with that, because the main thing I'd ordered was out of stock, and I also didn't want a true cottage manufacturer to have to take the hit for my dysfunctional postal system. When my next order arrived, Lawson had included replacements for last year's order, plus some extra goodies. He had even scrounged around and pieced together items equivalent to the ones that were out of stock.

I have ordered several times from Lawson. For some reason, something seems to get screwed up about every other order. I have eventually received everything, but it has taken several emails on several occasions to get things straightened out. I think Lawson is a good guy, I just think he may be a little disorganized.
Edited by mtnbob123 on 01/19/2014 16:36:18 MST.
Ordered some titanium stakes from Lawson and have nothing but positive things to say. Fast shipping, awesomely light, sturdy stakes, extremely well priced (half the price of the competition!).And bonus points for drawing a kick ass picture on the packaging!!!! (I requested a picture be drawn)
I've made a few purchases from Lawson. His glow-wire and ti stakes are my personal favorites in their class. The price has always been fair, shipping has been free, and delivery timely. Yesterday I ordered more glow-wire and the longer ti stakes; I received confirmation from USPS an hour later that the items were in the mail.
Long story short is that Lawson did a great job!I ordered a few items including two types of cordage and a mini-biner. The next morning I realized I needed a few stakes as well. Lawson got my email and combined the orders and got it shipped out fast.The order arrived with one of the guylines being wrong, so I let them know and they responded within hours apologizing and saying they'd get the right one out the next morning. They also let me keep the first cordage (which I was happy to return). Should this mean a 4 instead of a 5? Eh, mistakes happen, what matters to me is fixing the mistake, which promotes confidence in the future.I love supporting small businesses when I can, and since Lawson's line and stakes are exactly what I need, I will definitely be going back!

CLAYTON A new ambulance has been delivered to the Thousand Islands Emergency Rescue Service and is due to hit the roads soon.
I think this is a significant morale booster, said Roland G. Churchill, executive director of the rescue service. In essence, it serves the same purpose, but its a newer, more modern version of the ambulance it will be replacing.
The rescue squad is getting the new vehicle in the midst of an operational restructuring which led to the recent resignation of TIERS board of directors Chairman Dale A. Kenyon to get the nonprofit out of financial trouble.
Mr. Churchill said the rescue squad had applied for federal funds last year, before it was hit with the financial slump its facing now.
The old ambulance was costing us a significant amount of money in repairs and maintenance, Mr. Churchill said, estimating that TIERS was spending $13,000 to $14,000 annually for the upkeep of the decade-old ambulance thats being replaced.
In August, TIERS successfully secured a total of $118,000 in federal loans and grant funding.
The $41,300 grant and $76,700 loan were awarded through U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Offices Community Facility Loan and Grant program.
Clayton town Supervisor Justin A. Taylor said the annual debt payment will be levied on the Ambulance District, with the first years payment set at $8,500.
Mr. Taylor said the Town Council strongly believes that supporting the rescue squad serves the interest of the community at large.
The new vehicle joins a fleet of relatively new ambulances the two other rigs are 2010 and 2011 models and adds GPS capabilities and newer radios, among other features.
Its also better for the safety of the crew working in the back, Mr. Churchill said.
The rescue squad is unlikely to find a buyer for its old ambulance. TIERS is considering keeping the vehicle as a backup ambulance or donating it to another organization.
The new vehicle will be registered and insured in the next couple of weeks and should be operational by early October, Mr. Churchill said.
To celebrate the newest addition to its fleet and to acknowledge the volunteer work of the Blue Ribbon Committee a group of 15 citizens formed to assist TIERS with its restructuring the rescue squad plans to hold a Blue Ribbon-cutting ceremony in the first week of October at its 100 Union St. headquarters.
Mr. Churchill said he plans to invite U.S. Sens. Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand, both D-N.Y., and Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, to the event to thank them for supporting TIERS.

As celebrity-style aficionados and runway-collection enthusiasts, the Who What Wear team is committed to helping our readers become their most fashionable selves. And although we focus on emerging trends and other such wardrobe-related matters, there's more to being stylish than simply having a thoughtfully curated closet (though that helps). In addition to understanding of-the-moment looks, you also need to know what's going on in the world of fitness, nutrition, and wellness. So while we're here to serve as council for all your clothing concerns, when it comes to healthy living, the experts at Vital Juice can give you guidance galore.
Just in case you're not familiar with Vital Juice, we'll take a moment to give you a brief rundown. The website offers a wide range of wellness-related info, ranging from must-try exercise trends to the newest natural-beauty products. Though we've spent hours going through the Vital Juice archivesÂ--browsing the nutritious recipes, learning the latest relaxation techniques, getting the scoop on workout clothesÂ--it's easier than ever to get healthy and stay that way. Just sign up for a free subscription and Vital Juice will deliver these daily tips straight to your inbox: so simple, so smart.
To give you a taste of what you can expect, we asked Lisa Blau, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Vital Juice, to share a few of her favorite natural-beauty products on the market and why she likes them. Read on for five of Blau's best (all perfectly spot-on selections), then head over to Vital Juice for all the healthy-living help you need!
Enriched Lash Enhancement from La Bella Donna ($98)
We know some fashion-fans like their falsies (eyelashes, that is), but why settle for something faux when you can go for the real thing? La Bella Donna's Enriched Lash Enhancement has an all-natural formula that's packed with vitamins and minerals to condition your lashes and promote healthy growth. Luscious lashes? Now that's an accessory that's always in style.
Lavera Sunless Tanning Self Tanner Lotion ($26)
Getting a golden glow is tricky these days. The sun is a dermatological danger, old-school UV-beds are officially awful, and one nauseating whiff of the spray-on booth and you know that can't do a body good. Luckily, Lavera Sunless Tanning Self Tanner Lotion offers you a darker shade without any influence from the aforementioned darker forces. This paraben-free product is filled with goodies like soy extract, jojoba oil, and rose water, so your skin actually feels better après-faux-sun.
John Masters Sea Mist ($17)
Much like Team Vital Juice, we love the look of back-from-the-beach hair, as seen on stylesetters like Sienna Miller and Erin Wasson. Of course, not everyone can spend the free and easy days of summer in Malibu or Majorca, but we can get a sea-breezed hairstyle with John Masters Sea Mist. Unlike other leave-in sprays that leave your hair sticky (we just want to look like we swam in the ocean, not actually feel like it!) this spray is certified organic, chemical free, and will leave your lovely locks smelling of lavender.
Sukicolor Pure Cream Stain ($40)
The combination of June gloom and days spent under fluorescent lighting can strip anyone's skin of its healthy glow. Luckily, Sukicolor Pure Cream Stain is here to give you a rosy flushÂ--sans red-flag ingredients. Loaded with rose wax, Jojoba oil, and Vitamin E, this stain is unique in that it moisturizes and soothes your complexion while bringing out your natural blush.
Dr. Bronner's Baby Mild Soap ($15)
Although perfumed soap can smell lovely and add a flourish to your guest bathroom, when it comes to taking care of sensitive skin, it's best to stick to unscented options. Go back to the basics with Dr. Bronner's Baby Mild Soap. It's fragrance free and fair-trade approved, so not only will your smooth skin feel good, it will also be doing good in the greater, eco-conscious sense!

|Crimestoppers: Second Verizon Store Hit
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 29 June 2013 08:43
For the second time this month, a local Verizon store has been hit, this time in an overnight burglary. Boone Police issued a Crimestoppers alert after the 2:15 a.m. an alarm came in to Boone Police, the call from the Verizon Wireless store at 246 Wilson Drive. Officers arrived to found
that entry had been gained by breaking the front door glass of the business, and that an undisclosed amount of money and merchandise were reported to have been stolen. It came less than two weeks from the Verizon store on US 421 at the Gateway center being smashed by a car—the suspect in that still sought. Anyone with information on this crime or any other crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 828-268-6959 / 828-737-0125 or the Boone Police Department at 828-268-6900. All information will be kept confidential. High Country Crime Stoppers pays rewards for information, which leads to arrests; recovery of stolen property; seizure of drugs and the location of wanted persons.

"Ok Jack, time for your lobotomy!" Such a classic Calvin and Hobbes quote that comes to mind each year. But before we perform any pumpkin lobotomy, let's go over some important carving pro-tips.
Pumpkin Shopping Tips
When shopping for a pumpkin, look for the following:
- Firm, smooth skin
- At least one even face to make carving easier
- A green stem, not a brown or rotting one (and never lift it by the stem)
- Like a good melon, it should feel heavy for its size
- No bruises, soft spots, or lacerations on the skin; it will rot from those spots
- Never lift a pumpkin by its stem. Don't do it! It can snap off easily, and two things will happen: the pumpkin will hit your feet like a bowling ball, and it'll rot much faster.
Carving Equipment
- Newspaper to protect your surface from getting pumpkin-gunky
- Large metal spoon
- Dry erase marker or Sharpie
- Vaseline and plastic wrap
- A few different knives: a small chef's knife for cutting out the top, and a couple of sturdy, sharp-tipped paring knives are good, or the special carving saws you can find at stores around Halloween.
Watch this Video First
Before you start jabbing that poor guy with a knife, watch the above video.
Setting Up Your Station
Things will get messy. To avoid getting pumpkin-gunk (gunkin?) all over the place, line your table with plenty of newspaper. Also, grab a few bowls of various sizes for storing things like guts, seeds, and cut-outs.
Carving Time!
Cut off the top of the pumpkin: Make sure to cut it wide enough to give you room to scrape out the inside easily later. To make it easy to figure out how to orient the lid later on, cut out a triangular notch along one side. If you plan on using a candle instead of an electric light, you might consider cutting out a chimney hole to allow oxygen in and smoke to escape.
Remove seeds: Make a preliminary scrape with your bare hands, removing as much of the orange gloopy flesh and seeds as possible. For full instructions on how to clean and toast the pumpkin seeds, read our guide here »
Scrape out the pumpkin guts: Use a large stiff spoon and scrape away the remaining stringy flesh working from the top of the pumpkin in concentric circles all the way down. Continue scraping until you've got about an inch or two of flesh remaining (the more complex your design, the thinner you'll want the flesh to be).
Design: Use a dry-erase marker or Sharpie to draw your design. A dry-erase marker is probably better in case you make mistakes. Straight lines are much easier to carve than curves, so be aware of that as you plan your carving. See here: the classic triangle-eyed, snaggle-toothed look.
Lobotomize! Carve by plunging the knife tip into the lines. If you have a complex design, it's best to work from the center outward, so that you don't put extra pressure on sections you've already cut.
Vaseline and Plastic Wrap: Pumpkins start losing moisture as soon as you cut them open. As the pumpkin loses water, its structure collapses, causing droops and wrinkles in your design. Coating your cut surfaces with a thin layer of Vaseline and covering the pattern front and back with plastic wrap will keep the forces of nature at bay until you're ready to display.
For a More Advanced-O'-Lantern
Ain't no shame in tracing the classic triangle eyes and snaggly-tooth mouth. But if you're looking for a more knock-your-neighbors'-socks-off-o'-lantern, here is a step-by-step guide to advanced carving from Maniac Carvers, with detailed designs and examples.
What About Turnips?
Yes, you could also carve a turnip!
Fear not, if your carved pumpkin starts to shrivel, you can revive it by giving it a bath in ice water for an hour or so (a cooler or bathtub both work fine for this). Lightly spray the cut surface of your pumpkin with vegetable oil to prevent moisture loss.

You know, I'm thinking that Madara would pretty much be able to coerce Sasuke into killing anyone he wants. I mean, he didn't have any trouble sending him after Bee and then Danzo and Konoha, and I'll bet he could make up some arbitrary reasons for Sasuke to kill anyone else, too. Especially now that he seems to have snapped.
And also, am I the only one who got the impression that Samehada likes Bee's chakras so much not just because he's got a ton from the Eight tails, but more because it's seafood flavored?
He didn't send Sasuke after Konoha, Sasuke chose to go there. He sent Pain after Konoha.

Snap... Kisame died, well i lost that bet, but its most likely because he wasnt partnered up... i think... anyway...
RIP... awesome while he lasted
I'll update this sometime
Well, Being a pseudo Bijuu doesn't mean he could take on a actual Bijuu and a Kage. Naruto has the strongest Bijuu and he wouldn't be that hard to kill.

I'd bet that they can, otherwise Karin would still be feeling it after she got hit, and we haven't seen anything like that. It's just that Sasuke wasn't about to put Amaterasu out on the Raikage, so he chopped his arm off to keep it from spreading up and burning more away.Originally Posted by The 4th KIRA
That's sort of the idea of having partners, isn't it? Which makes it all the funnier that they all split up and fought alone before they died.I don't think it would've made a difference. If Itachi were alive then he'd probably protect Kisame since they seemed to get along though.
I should think he would be if the nine-tails were to begin breaking out, though, which probably would happen in the course of an attempt to capture him alive. And beyond that, he's not much of a jinchūriki anyway.Originally Posted by TsukiMirage
He used fire and lava techniques, though, didn't he? Seems like something somebody who likes summoning huge bodies of water would be pretty suited to fighting.Originally Posted by The 4th KIRA
I'm also starting to think that Samehada betraying Kisame might have been the entire point of the fight, unless it were just to take out the last known-capable Akatsuki member or he's still alive or something strange like that. I don't know what Killer Bee's supposed to do with it, but it's an idea.
I'm just curious as to why everyone thinks Kisame is alive. He was decapitated, and he's no Hidan.

If that's addressed towards me bringing it up, that's why I said something 'strange like that'. Of course, you also have to consider that a head making a quip after it's been popped off is also strange. It's probably just because all indications seemed to point to him winning just a couple of chapters ago, though.Originally Posted by HoennMaster
Don't you think a fire as hot as the sun would leave injuries if it were on someone's clothes, though? And on anyone within a 10+ mile radius as well, for that matter?I don't think Karin suffered any injuries due to Amaterasu. Sasuke "turned it off" before it burnt completely through her clothes.

Sai starts talking to Naruto about Sakura's true feelings
サクラが隠していたことは、「サスケを木ノ葉の手で処理する」「同期メンバー全員がそのつもり で動く」とい うもの
What Sakura hid away from him was that: "Konoha will deal with Sasuke" and, "All the members of our class plan to act."
Sai and Kakashi figure that it seems like Sakura plans on killing Sasuke herself
サスケの事が大好きだからこそこのまま悪へ突き進むサスケを放っておけず、それがたとえ大好き な人を自分の 手で殺めなければならない事になるとしてもそれがサスケを好きになったサクラなりの覚悟という もの
It's because she loves Sasuke that she can't just leave him pursuing his evil ends like this; even if it turns out that she has to kill a person she loves with her own hands, Sasuke whom she had fallen in love with, that is what Sakura is ready to do
The Kazekage, Kankurou, and Temari make an appearance when they're done talking. They speak of the developments of what happened at the Five Kage meeting
Around that time, Madara (Tobi) appears where Danzou and his posse are
Also at that time, the Kazekage finishes talking to Naruto and co. about what went on at the Kage meeting, about the Great Shinobi War
そして、風影がこれは八尾、九尾を守る戦争でもある。風影としてオレはお前を命懸けで守る。暁 の配下として うちはサスケが立ちはだかるなら容赦はしない。
The Kazekage says, "This is a war to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. As the Kazekage, I'll risk my life to protect you. I won't put up with it if Uchiha Sasuke were to stand in my way as one of the Akatsuki"
ナルト お前はオレに"自分は火影になる男"だと言ったな オレは風影になった。影の名を背負 う覚悟を決め たなら サスケの友としてお前が本当にやるべき事をやれと言う
"Naruto...you once told me 'I'm the man who'll be Hokage'. Well I've become Kazekage. If you decided on carrying the burden of the Kage title, then as Sasuke's friend, do what truly needs to be done"
And while that's happening, Danzou and his posse begin fighting Madara
A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Developers behind a plan to build a new downtown stadium for the Bills say construction will begin this year.
The group behind the proposal, Greater Buffalo Sports and Entertainment Complex, says once they negotiate with Mayor Byron Brown and the NFL, they are confident that new developments on the new stadium will begin this year.
"I think it comes to fruition this year. I think we'll get the commitments we need from the property owners," George Hasiotis said. "It's public land, it's a perfect site. And, it's not a question of if, it's a question of why not?"
Of course, many believe the idea is simply not feasible.
The plan, which includes a 72,000 seat stadium with a retractable roof, a convention center and museum, has drawn a lot of skepticism. Developers say the plan will cost about $1.4 Billion.

Reviewer: Neha Vapiwala, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania

This presentation discusses the use of imatinib at a dose that has not been approved by the FDA.Presenter: J.R. Zalcberg
This international intergroup has previously demonstrated an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) with the use of high-dose (HD) imatinib in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), as compared to those treated with low-dose (LD) imatinib. In that trial, patients on the LD arm were permitted to crossover to the HD arm in the event of disease progression during LD treatment. This study was designed to specifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of allowing this "dose escalation" crossover in patients with progressive disease, rather than declaring treatment failure and abandoning imatinib in favor of another therapy.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This important study presents preliminary data suggesting that some advanced GIST patients with progressive disease on LD imatinib therapy may benefit from dose escalation to HD imatinib. Although the majority of patients continued to have disease progression after crossing over to HD therapy, there was a response rate of 32.8% and a one-year PFS rate of 18.1%, showing some benefit to the 800 mg dose even after the 400mg dose did not succeed. Furthermore, the GMI calculation lends support to this practice, with an index >1.33 in 24.5% indicating greater activity of HD imatinib compared to LD imatinib. The authors admit that the application of the GMI is hypothesis-generating, but does prompt further research in this area. Overall, this trial does support the practice of attempting higher dose imatinib treatment in patients who fail the low-dose therapy, rather than immediately discontinuing imatinib and switching to a different drug.
Two possible mechanisms might explain the benefit of HD therapy shown here:
What might be useful in this study is a measurement of the drug serum levels of imatinib in the crossover patients before and after the crossover from LD to HD. This might help further clarify the mechanism behind the observed effect.
Finally, it is not surprising that certain adverse effects, such as anemia and fatigue, would be worse on the HD therapy compared to LD, but it is not clear why the neutropenia should improve. This finding raises the possibility that some imatinib-related toxicities may in fact decrease with increasing duration of treament.

DOVER, New Hampshire (NEWS CENTER) - The man accused of killing a student from the University of New Hampshire has made his first court appearance.
Seth Mazzaglia was arraigned in Dover District Court Monday morning.
Mazzaglia is charged with one count of Second Degree Murder in the death of Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott. Her body has not been found. Law enforcement officials believe it is on or near Peirce Island in Portsmouth.
According to an article in the Seacoast online, Mazzaglia was involved in local theater groups and people in that community were shocked to learn of his arrest.
But one woman who attended Monday's hearing says she isn't shocked.
Crystal Childers is a shift manager at the Hannaford Supermarket in Dover. She says his behavior was suspect, "...when I saw his picture I wasn't surprised just because of the encounters I have had with him and seeing who he was in the store," she explained.
Childers says Mazzaglia would talk to younger cashiers at the store, asking them about their age and whether they were in a relationship.
Prosecutor Jane Young with the NH Attorney General's Office said more information would come out later Monday - including when the search for Marriott's body might resume.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
When we engage in scholarship, we seek answers to questions we care about; we learn from others' work, and we add our contributions to a growing body of knowledge. However, we cannot honestly value that knowledge unless we also value truth. Acts of academic dishonesty are lies. They degrade our shared search for understanding as a community of scholars, and they undermine the integrity of that community by injecting falsehood into our dialogue. As a historically Quaker college, Whittier honors the Friends' testimonies of truth, community, and equality, where equality reflects our conviction that we are all worthy of equal respect. Thus, when members of our community commit acts of academic dishonesty, they are not committing victimless crimes. By violating – even in secret – the respect which they owe their colleagues, they tear the fabric of our community. Further, by shrinking from the self-defining work of scholarship, they hurt themselves.
Because the preservation of academic honesty is as fundamental to our shared enterprise as the transmission of knowledge, the faculty and administration of the College regard educating students in academic integrity to be as important as inspiring them to rise to the challenge of learning. Students are expected to produce independent work and to cite sources of information and concepts. When these principles are breached and a student misrepresents his or her level of knowledge, the basic framework of scholarship is broken. In these instances, students will be held accountable and will face sanctions that range from a warning to expulsion from the College. Ignorance of what constitutes plagiarism or cheating is not a valid defense. If students are uncertain of policies, they should consult the instructor for clarification. Adherence to the policies delineated below reflects the commitment of our community to a single standard of truth, a standard binding on students, faculty, and administrators alike.
These definitions do not represent a complete list of possible infractions; rather, they are intended to generally reveal the range of conduct which violates academic honesty.
1. plagiarism - Submitted work should be one's own work and it should properly acknowledge ideas and words from others: ideas from another source should be cited in both the body and the works cited section of the paper, and exact words from another source should be placed within quotes. Plagiarism is submitting work done by others as your own work, and it is the failure to properly and appropriately reference and acknowledge the ideas and words of others. This can include submitting an entire paper downloaded from a website or another source, copying and pasting parts of different papers to form your own paper, failure to put quotes around exact wording used from another source, and failure to appropriately reference ideas from another person. Citation guidelines can be found in any writing handbook. While incorrect citation format may not necessarily be defined as plagiarism, individual instructors may penalize students for using an incorrect citation format. Please be aware that different disciplines use different forms for citing work. While each department should make these citation styles available, one is ultimately responsible for finding out this information. Students will be instructed on when and how to appropriately cite other people's work in their own papers in the College Writing Seminar and in the Writing Intensive Courses. Departments are also strongly encouraged to instruct students on appropriate citation in their introductory courses;
2. cheating – Honesty involves presenting one's own level of knowledge as accurately as possible. Misrepresentation of one's knowledge is considered cheating; examples include copying or sharing exam answers, presenting work done by others as one's own, changing in any way work which may be reviewed in response to a grade consideration request, having a falsely identified person take an exam, or using notes, books and the like in closed-book examinations;
3. misrepresentation of experience, ability, or effort - One is expected to accurately and fairly present one's experience, ability, or effort for any purpose. Providing false information concerning academic achievement or background in an area of study is academically dishonest. Examples include falsely reporting the substance of an internship, falsely representing the content of prior coursework, or falsely representing effort on a group project;
4. unauthorized collaboration - In many course activities, other than examinations, collaboration is permitted and encouraged. Course syllabi and in-class instructions will usually identify situations where collaboration is permitted, but the student shares responsibility for ascertaining whether collaboration is permitted. Collaboration on homework, take-home exams, or other assignments which the instructor has designated as "independent work" will be considered academically dishonest;
5. submission of same work in two courses without explicit permission to do so - Presenting all or part of work done for one course in another course requires permission of the instructors of the involved courses. Connected or paired courses may require submission of the same work in the two associated courses; this will be explicitly stated for this type of assignment. Failure to gain permission from the instructors in submitting the same work will be considered academically dishonest;
6. falsification of records – Records document a person's past accomplishments and give one measure of assessing those accomplishments. Any attempt to change grades or written records pertaining to assessment of a student's academic achievement will be considered academically dishonest;
7. sabotage – Valuing community means that one should respect another person's work and efforts. Destruction of or deliberate inhibition of progress of another person's work related to a course is considered academically dishonest. This includes the destruction or hiding of shared resources such as library materials and computer software and hardware to tampering with another person's laboratory experiments;
8. complicity concerning any of the above – Valuing community also means that one is honest with respect to another person's work as well as with one's own work. Any act which facilitates or encourages academic dishonesty by another person is itself an act of academic dishonesty.
Various sanctions exist which may be applied in response to an act of academic dishonesty. The severity of sanctions will correlate to the severity of the offense. Judgment of the severity of an academic dishonesty offense is the responsibility of the faculty member. The faculty member is encouraged to seek counsel of faculty colleagues, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and/or the Dean of Students in gaining perspective concerning the severity of the offense.
All grade related sanctions shall be levied by the faculty member teaching the course within which the offense occurred. The Associate Dean of the Faculty and the Dean of Students are available to provide guidance concerning appropriate sanctions. In addition, the following are some recommended sanctions for various degrees of academically dishonest acts.
Violations: Examples may include plagiarizing anywhere from one sentence to one paragraph in a paper, submission of the same work in two classes without the instructor's permission, and unauthorized collaboration on a minor assignment.
Recommended range of sanctions: Reduction in letter grade for the assignment up to a failing grade on the assignment. Repeated violations in the same course may result in a failing grade for the course.
Flagrant Violations: Examples may include plagiarizing an entire paper or most of a paper, cheating on a quiz or exam, and unauthorized collaboration on a major assignment.
Recommended range of sanctions: Failing grade on the assignment up to a failing grade in the course. Faculty members who wish to apply sanctions other than the recommended range of sanctions listed above, must explicitly state this in their syllabus for a course.
Faculty members must provide the student with a written account of the offense and the sanction. Faculty members must also report cases of academic dishonesty to the Office of the Dean of Students, including a brief written account of the offense and the sanction levied through an on-line form, and a copy of the plagiarized paper. The Dean of Students must take a student to the Hearing Board if the student has a minimum of two flagrant violations or three total violations. The Dean of Students has the discretion to take students to the Hearing Board for fewer violations if there are other outstanding circumstances. Also, the Dean of Students must communicate with involved faculty members if a student is scheduled to appear before the Hearing Board.
The Hearing Board considers whether any further action should be taken which may include suspension or expulsion from the college. The Hearing Board does not reconsider the grade sanction given by the faculty member earlier in the process, but rather considers whether additional sanctions are merited. The Board will consider the entire student record of misconduct when making its decision and it will not limit itself just to acts of academic dishonesty.

How to make ultrasmooth config? I record the 2880fps and conversion 2880fps to 30fps with vegas gaussian blur resample, or recording in 240fps with wolfcam`s maximum blur (very many time! 10min output wolfcam`s video = 12-14 hours of capture and >500gb losless size),but no ultrasmooth this in my opinion . What secret of making this (autor say 90fps capture + depth and no more say) or this video? Maybe intresting my blurexp video

Tuesday, May 17, 2011The NCAA honored Lipscomb University's women's basketball, women's golf and women's tennis teams Tuesday with a Public Recognition Award for their high marks academically.
These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport, based on their most recent Academic Progress Rates.
Lipscomb accounted for three of the 12 Atlantic Sun Conference teams honored. Lipscomb earned the Atlantic Sun All-Academic Trophy last year with 71.7 percent of student-athletes earning a 3.0 grade point average.
Lipscomb's student-athletes continued their academic success this fall with 74.7 percent earning a 3.0 grade point average. Spring academic reports have yet to be released.
The NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I sports team through its innovative APR, which provides an annual scorecard of academic achievement. By measuring eligibility and retention each semester, the APR provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.
"Most student-athletes excel at balancing their academic and athletics commitments, yet each year there are those who perform at extraordinary levels," NCAA President Mark Emmert said. "By achieving the highest levels of academic success as a team, these young men and women truly embody what it means to be a successful NCAA student-athlete."
The NCAA will release full APR scores, which will be based on multi-year rates from the 2006-07 to 2009-10 academic years, on May 24.

Despite only scoring six points in the first quarter of play, the Lady Dinos never looked back in their seventh win of the season over the Union Cougars on Tuesday night. In the end the result reflected another dominating victory with a final score of 56-28.
Union came out with a defense that seemed to bother the Carbon offense. Coach Carlson said it was a press, not too much pressure, just enough to make the Dinos uncomfortable. So while the Dinos held the Cougars to only three first quarter points, they only managed to post six of their own.
But the second period it was back to normal as Carbon went on a 16-2 run against Union to take control of the game. By the end of the third the Dinos had pushed the lead to 34-12 and began to make adjustments. Carlson again pulled off the defensive press and began to send in the bench. Even with those changes Carbon outscored Union 22-16 to give themselves a comfortable finish.
"After Colorado, where we weren't challenged much, it was good to have Union throw their defense at us and make us play," remarked Carlson about the slow start and the Dinos recovery from it.
Patricia Smith continued her offensive outbursts with a 24 point game. She had a third of her points hitting from the line as she went eight of 11. Sophomore Sara Potts got some good court time when senior Joy Malone could not dress due to illness. She made the most of her time scoring 10 points.
Carlson gave her some praise. "Sara went in for Malone and hustled. She got most of her points from her four offensive rebounds."
Emily Cox picked up five steals and five rebounds. Tia Pappas ended up with five rebounds. Karlee Martino scooped up four rebounds. Samantha Smith had another perfect game at the line as she stroked in six of six gift shots.
The Lady Dinos continue their preseason play with a trip to Uintah this Thursday night. They have one more game before the Christmas break and that will be on the road against Park City.

Video: Prosecution rests in Corasanti Trial
BUFFALO, NY - Prosecutor Kelley Omel tells 2 On Your Side she believes Dr. Corasanti is expected to take the stand today in his trial.
Dr. Corasanti is accused of hitting Alexandria Rice while she was riding her long board, and leaving her to die, on Heim Road last July.
Earlier in the day Thursday, Judge Sheila DiTullio denied the defense's request to dismiss all five charges against Dr. James Corasanti, including vehicular manslaughter.
While the jury was out of the courtroom, the judge also denied the prosecution's request to question Corasanti on his past DWI. She said the questioning/testimony would be prejudicial and would not allow it.
"Sixteen years ago, Dr. Corasanti pled guilty to driving while impaired in Niagara County," says defense attorney Joel Daniels.
Daniels said that charge was not a crime or offense, but more of a traffic infraction.
The prosecution rested its case just before noon, but not before calling its last witness, Jodi Luedemann.
She is a forensic biologist for Erie County Central Police Services. She performed the DNA testing on swabs taken from from the interior and exterior of Corasanti's 2010 BMW. She determined Alexandria Rice's DNA was found on the exterior, including the hood and bumper, and Corasanti's DNA was not.
Luedemann also testified about the rag found in Corasanti's garbage several days after the accident. She said it had an extreme rotten, foul odor with "extensive maggots." She said that it also had three stains. One tested positive for blood, but she could not do DNA profiling to see whose blood it was.
On cross examination, defense attorney Tom Burton got Luedemann to admit the stains could have come from cross contamination because it came out of a "filthy garbage can."
As for tissue (human flesh) found in Corasanti's garage, Luedemann testified, "Alix Rice is the source."
Burton also asked Luedemann if DNA testing can be sensitive, as the defense tried to raise doubts that the rag may have been cross contaminated.
Burton said, "In 1,000 years would you [have] ever taken a sample to test for DNA and put it in a filthy garbage can?"
Luedemann: "For DNA, I would not."
Burton: "Could [the] red spot on rag come from hamburger or chicken parts?"
Luedemann said she could not rule out anything.
Prosecutors did not call Corasanti's wife to the stand although her name was listed as a potential witness.
The defense's first witness was Andrew Calabrese, 20, a Canisius College student who said he saw Rice before the accident on her longboard.
He testified he was driving to his friend's house and he thought he was going to hit Rice when he approached the intersection of Dodge and Heim.
By calling Calabrese to the witness stand, the defense was trying to show Rice was operating her longboard in a careless manner, and that she should have been on the south side of Heim, but crossed to the north side.
But on cross-examination, prosecutor James Bargnesi brought out that Calabrese's phone records showed he was texting as he was driving.
He also said since he didn't see Corasanti strike Alix, he doesn't really have anything to add.
Calabrese said, "I knew she was wearing neon yellow". He also said he could see her for a while as she proceeded up Heim.
Bargnesi also noted that Rice had the right of way in the intersection of Dodge and Heim, so she should have crossed in front of him (Calabrese).
Bargnesi also brought out in court Thursday that Calabrese kept changing his story with different statements he gave to officials.
The final defense witness to testify on Thursday was forensic mechanical engineer George Meinschein. He testified the Corasanti's BMW is a "flagship top of the line model." He said the suspension sysptem made primarily with aluminum parts give it a smooth ride. The adaptive zenon headlight did not have automatic high beams in low light situations as one police official previously testified and also said those lights would not allow the driver to see better than any other person in a new car.
Meinschein also testified about sound insulation, and how the hood is designed to crumple under pressure to absorb energy during an impact.
Upon cross-examination, prosecutors noted he was flown in from New Jersey and could be paid as much as $10,000 for his expert testimony.

Greetings to our favorite Jets fans!
I decided to attend to the attend the Patriots/Jets game in Jersey. Going to MA is too much work. I was able to get great airfare into Philly. I found a great hotel near the Newark airport, which is of course is easily accessible to Met Life!
I am hoping the __________ in Washington DC will work things out so I can to the touristy things the Statue of Liberty on Saturday.... already going to Ground Zero. My friends and I are also hoping to go to Independence Hall on Philly on the way out on Monday, if that is open
Any advice on where to go or what to do on Saturday? Please don't send me to a place where I will get food poisoning : ) We will be spending our time in Lower/Upper Manhattan.
Also any suggestions on what to do before the game in or around the stadium? I told my friends, the only thing we have to do is get to the stadium when the gates open!
Our seats are in the 200's (2nd level...behind the goal posts!)
To our resident Patriot troll...please refrain from commenting....thanks!

Farewell, My Queen (Les adieux a la reine)
Versailles in July 1789. There's growing disquiet at the court of King Louis XVI: the people are defiant and the country is on the brink of revolution. Behind the scenes at the royal palaces emergency plans are being made. Although nobody believes that this spells the end of the established order everyone is talking of escape, including Queen Marie Antoinette and her entourage. One of Marie Antoinette's ladies-in-waiting is Sidonie Laborde who, as the Queen's reader, is a member of the monarch's inner circle. Little does she know that she is about to witness the downfall of her beloved queen.

Makeup Tutorial: False Eyelashes
Master the art of choosing and applying eye sexifying false lashes -- once and for all -- with this easy-to-follow makeup tutorial
Here Vellon shares how to apply them:
1. Hold each individual lash with tweezers and dip the teeny tip into the glue.
2. Wait a couple seconds for the glue to get tacky, then press the clump on to your lash line, wiggling them in between your natural lashes. Repeat with as many clumps as you like.
Tip: Make sure you apply mascara before putting individual lashes in, it will give the glue more to grip onto, Babaian says.

I feel lucky that I do not have to wear false eyelashes. They look nice when applied properly, but they can still ruin your regular lashes.

I tried putting on false lashes before and it was a nightmare. Maybe I'll try again with your tips next time. I do think that a video would have been better though.

Cool! Expect to see posts from me ;D
Well with the recent discussion about Gentoo I decided to add a topic of it's own. ;D I am in the process of doing a stage 1 install on another hard drive, hopefully I will have time to finish it today. ;D
Jim H
Cool! Expect to see posts from me ;D
[me=alastair]considers dloading Gentoo[/me]
Well I finally had time to finish a really basic install. ;D I do have one problem with the kernel module for my NIC. I get unresolved symbol errors when I try and load it. It doesn't appear to be a problem with the kernel source, but possibly a problem with it not compiling correctly. I tried compiling the Red Hat kernel source, which I know works, and I get unresolved symbol errors with it. I will have to look at it later today if I have time. Going to have to get this working or I won't be able to play with Gentoo very much. :'( Hard to work without network access. :P
Jim H
I am typing this out from my Gentoo install. ;D The problem with the kernel module for my NIC turned out to be a minor one. For some reason when it tries to load the module for my NIC it first doesn't preload any other dependencies. A quick edit to modules.atuoload to have it preload the dependencies and I was up and running. ;D
I will have to look at the docs when I get the chance. The Gentoo init scripts are a lot different from what I am used too. They seem to be using some things from Debian.
Jim H
hey Jim, i am really curious as to what all these distros offer. what kinds of things is Gentoo known for? what are some advantages and disadvantages?
the biggens thing in gentoo seems to be the 'portage' system, simililar to debian's apt-get
thats all i know
Advantage would be more control over your system with reqards to optimizing it more for the specific hardware you have. Portage seems to be a pretty nice package management system.Originally Posted by babbing
Disadvantages. It requires a lot more work my the user in setting up and configuring it. It tends to use a lot of packages that would be considered to be "bleeding edge". This can lead to stablility issues. There isn't the same level of QA testing that you would see with a major Linux distribution.
Jim H
I'd like to add to some of the advantages that portage has:
Since Gentoo is a source based distribution, it allows the user complete control over the features and support built into installed apps.
Gentoo's method of defining USE settings help facilitate this by defining options used for the whole system to configure applications during their compilation process. For example, I use gnome as my DE, so one of my USE setting is "gnome". By defining this, any application I compile will use "gnome" as a compilation flag (if the application has such a flag; if not, then the USE setting is ignored). Any built-in gnome functions that the app may have will be used.
Also, there are flags for processor specific settings. Since i have a p4 processor, i have these in my make.conf file:
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
These could be changed of course (but i don't know enough about these to change them).
Having one file to configure to optimize all app compilation will ensure that they are all optimized for your system. Thus, no more ./configure, make, make install (and whatever other flags you have to put).
Some disadvantages:
Of course with all the USE settings that one may have, compilation could take a long time. I guess that is the price you pay for optimization and configuration.
Configuration may not be for the Linux timid, since most of it will have to be done even BEFORE you log into you brand new Gnome/KDE environment. So guys used to configuring from gui, you'll have to learn some new skills (i.e. knowing where all the config files are for your system: you should know where they are anyway ) Oh yeah, knowledge of your hardware is needed as well (when it come to xf86config).
Anyway, Gentoo offers very helpful docs on their website:

Clipperblog's First Annual All-Glue Team
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 05/04/06, 02:01pm:
By and large, Clipperblog detests awards. To quote Woody Allen, "Awards! All they do is give out awards! Greatest Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler!"
So in the spirit of Woody Allen, Clipperblog figured it was high time to hand out one of its own: The All-Glue Team.
Hubie Brown, whose understanding of professional basketball is unparalleled among television analysts (if you haven't recently, make some effort next time you're watching a Sunday afternoon ABC telecast to listen to Hubie break down a play; if you've got tivo or a DVR and are an ubergeek like me, use it to go frame-by-frame), often speaks of "glue guys."
Come July and we have time to break down the Clippers' offseason goals and how they might reach the next echelon, we'll spend plenty of time talking about what comprises a championship roster. But to give you my simple theory in ten words or less:
Three scorers of diverse talents, a shut-down defender, a sparkplug off the bench, and four glue guys.
That's, like, eighteen words? My bad.
I realize that still doesn't answer the question, "what is a glue guy?" For that, I refer you to United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who, when asked his definition of pornography, replied, "I know it when I see it."
The All-Glue Squad
F Bruce Bowen
F Robert Horry
F Mo Peterson
F Shane Battier
F Gerald Wallace
C Ben Wallace
C Jeff Foster
G Sam Cassell
G Jason Kidd
G Eddie Jones
G Antonio Daniels
G Eric Snow
Of course, Steve Nash is the ultimate glue guy - this year's Phoenix team being his finest mosaic yet. Who else could've brought Marion, Diaw (at C), Thomas (first Kurt, then Tim), Raja Bell and James Jones together to contend - no matter what the outcome of this series against the Lakers may bear out? Tim Duncan, too. But it seems silly to call MVPs "glue guys." Isn't that what makes the 'P' MV?
All of the players above fall into the "wily veteran" category (I guess Battier is still a youngin', but he's a born veteran). The team below - The Glue Sticks - is composed of younger guys who are emerging as significant role players or players with a quick learning curve for the pro game's nuances.
F Quinton Ross
F Ryan Gomes
F Nick Collison
F/G Mickael Pietrus
F Luke Walton
F Josh Childress
C Primoz Brezec
G Josh Howard

Norden at the Cinema
In general, Nordic languages are being squeezed off the school curriculum. The Nordic Cultural Fund's major 2005 language survey "Inter-Nordic Language Understanding" revealed that Nordic youngsters are no longer quite as good at understanding each others' languages. Half of the secondary school pupils who responded received no teaching in Nordic languages at school.
The project NORDEN AT THE CINEMA offers Nordic language and media teachers new film-based teaching material. Pupils aged 10-19 will be given the chance to improve their knowledge of the other Nordic languages.
Multimedia teaching using different themes and film as its tool will inject new life into teaching Nordic languages to the pupils. The aim of the project is not only for the pupils to improve the ability to understand each others' languages, but to learn more about film as a communication tool and even more important to increase tolerance on several levels among the Nordic youth.
"Norden at the Cinema" is envisaged as an annual event with a new theme every year.
The project is being run by the Federation of the Norden Associations (FNF) and the Nordic information offices. Most of the funding has been provided by the Nordic Council of Ministers (Nordplus Language Fund).
The teaching material is available only via this website (www.nordenibio.org). It consists of a specially produced DVD with five new Nordic short films and an especially composed teaching compendium.
REClimate in Nordic schools 2010
In August 2010 the Federation of Norden Associations (FNF) launched a new education material in cooperation with dvoted – "Mission REClimate". It is an online based material for Nordic pupils aged 14-19. It focuses climate change, film making and the Nordic languages and cooperation between the Nordic countries.
Within the project Mission REClimate you can upload new REClimate films on the dvoted site to be spread across the Nordic region and to pupils in all the Nordic countries.
