Home » Student Information » Credit by Examination
Northwestern recognizes that students enter college with varying degrees of preparedness. Students with superior skills and academic accomplishments have the opportunity to obtain college course credits by examination. After enrollment at Northwestern, a satisfactory performance recorded in semester hours, with no letter grade will be placed on the student's transcript. The hours of credit will not be used in the computation of grade point averages or considered in determining academic hours, probation, or suspension. While students are encouraged to utilize all types of credit by examination programs, there are certain limitations. Credit by examination may be awarded only to students who are currently registered in other courses during a semester. A maximum of thirty semester hours of credit may be earned through any one type of program. In addition, not more than half of the semester hours of credit required for an undergraduate degree may be fulfilled through an accumulation of credits from the categories of testing, correspondence, and extension work. Credit earned by examination may be used to reduce residence requirements. A special examination for credit may not be taken in any course already completed or audited.
American College Testing (ACT): Beginning freshmen at Northwestern may be eligible for semester hours of credit on the basis of their English and Mathematics ACT sub scores.
Advanced Placement Program (AP): Sponsored and coordinated by the College Board and Educational Testing Service (ETS), the AP program consists of college-level courses and standardized examinations for high school students. Each May, AP exams are administered in the high schools to students who have participated in this program. Fees are determined by, and are payable to, ETS. Recipient code number 6492 should be used by students to have their scores reported to Northwestern. A complete list of the AP tests and credit is available in the Testing Center at NSU.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP): Any prospective or enrolled student who attains satisfactory scores on Northwestern State University approved Subject Examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) administered by or under the auspices of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for the College Board is eligible to receive credit on the basis of such tests. Registration forms must be received by the Testing Center at least three weeks prior to each test date. Students may also arrange to take CLEP tests at other centers and use recipient code 6492 to have their scores reported to Northwestern. Students applying for credit for NSU-approved CLEP Subject Examinations must have scores sent directly to Northwestern State University from CLEP. CLEP scores will not be used from the previous institution's transcript unless the scores are over 20 years old. (Military service veterans who took CLEP as part of the DANTES program must have CLEP scores reported directly to the University from DANTES). A CLEP Subject Examination should be taken well in advance of the semester during which the student would normally register for the course involved. Examinations are given by appointment excluding December and February, at Northwestern. A complete list of the Subject CLEP tests is available in the Testing Center. CLEP registration materials may be obtained from any national test center or the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey. A CLEP Subject Examination of the same title may not be repeated within a 180-day period after the initial administration. If an exam is retaken within the 180-day period, the administration will be considered invalid, the score will be canceled, and fees will be forfeited. Additional detailed information can be found at CollegeBoard.
Northwestern's Advanced Standing Program: Advanced Standing Examinations are offered by the academic departments at Northwestern to eligible freshmen with English and Mathematics ACT scores of 25 or above. These students are invited to attend Credit Connection, the annual spring testing day at Northwestern, for the opportunity to earn credit hours through this program.
Northwestern's Challenge Examination Program: Academic departments extend to enrolled undergraduate students the opportunity to "challenge" virtually any course offered by the University. These examinations, administered by the departments, may not be repeated. A student may not challenge any course in which a grade (A, B, C, D, F, P, I, U, W, Z, or AU) has been earned. Undergraduate students interested in taking a special examination must be enrolled in at least one credit hour and must register for the exam on or by the last day to register for classes during regular registration by completing the following steps:
o Contact the Department Head/Instructor responsible for the course to get a special exam card. The Department Head/Instructor must approve the special exam by completing the information on the card and signing the card. (If there is no Department Head, the Dean must complete the information.)
o Have your advisor sign the card to approve the special exam.
o Take the completed card to the University Registrar's Office to be registered for the exam.
o A non-refundable fee of $100.00* for each special exam will be assessed.
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): Beginning freshmen at Northwestern may be eligible for semester hours of credit on the basis of their English and Mathematics SAT sub scores.
* Fee is subject to change without notice

Access Authorization Program
NNSA possesses approximately half of the Department of Energy (DOE) active personnel security clearances, including 65% of the "Q" (which is for nuclear weapons information) clearance population. The NNSA Service Center works to pass these clearances in a way that is both efficient and effective.
Six Sigma Process
The NNSA Service Center reviewed its Quality Assurance Program through the Six Sigma process. Nine of ten short-term actions identified have been completed. In 2007, the Service Center implemented new adjudication work processes to more quickly identify and adjudicate cases with no or minor derogatory information, which will further improve clearance processing times.
Human Reliability Program
The NNSA occupies over 80% of the Human Reliability Program (HRP) positions in the DOE. The NNSA Service Center conducts over 9000 personnel security reviews annually in support of this vital safety and security program.
In 2006, the DOE established a new counterintelligence evaluation program, including revised provisions governing the use of polygraph examinations. The new regulatory revision involves significant changes in both program coverage and administrative procedures. In accordance with the HRP regulations, each NNSA Site Office is required to perform a risk assessment to determine recommended designation or removal for mandatory evaluations.

Kids Need More than Lunch
It's a long time between school lunch one day and school breakfast the next. Afterschool meals programs help close the dinner-time gap by offering hungry children an afternoon snack or nutritious dinner along with a fun educational activity. Without this meal, many children who rely on school meals may go to bed hungry and arrive back in the classroom focused on their hunger instead of schoolwork. A nutritious evening meal also makes it less likely that kids will choose candy bars, potato chips and soft drinks as ways to quiet their growling stomachs.
Find an Afterschool Meals Program Near You
There are US Department of Agriculture (USDA) authorized Afterschool Meals Programs in almost every county in Arkansas. Use the Department of Human Services program locator tool to find an Afterschool Meals Program near you at https://dhs.arkansas.gov/DCCECE/SNP/FacilitySearch2.aspx.

Former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican, announced on Tuesday she is running for the U.S. Senate, setting up a major statewide political showdown in the race to replace U.S. Sen. Dan Akaka, who is retiring.
Democrats U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono, former Rep. Ed Case, and Office of Hawaiian Affairs Advocate Esther Kiaaina have announced their candidacies.
Lingle faces Republican John Carroll, an attorney and former state lawmaker, in the primary.
"It wasn't an easy decision to enter the Senate race," said Lingle in a speech before the Sales and Marketing Executives International lunch meeting at the Pacific Club Tuesday.
Having a Republican in the U.S. Senate is "critically important to Hawaii," Lingle said, especially since the GOP is expected to take over the U.S. Senate next year.
"Having a senator from each party is the very best possible situation for us. Because it doesn't matter which party is in control. We will always have one of our senators within that caucus and able to bring our issues forward," Lingle said.
She said, "it won't be an easy race," with Democratic President Barack Obama on the ballot for reelection next year and two "strong opponents" in the Senate race, referring to Case and Hirono.
Lingle said she expects to raise between eight and ten million dollars in the race. She held a fundraiser Tuesday night at Waialae Country Club, where she expected to raise close to $500,000, Lingle said.
"The values of the far-right Republicans in Washington that Linda wants to join are not Hawaii's values," Case said. "Their idea of change has not been good for our country and doesn't offer a solution for most Americans. Linda will just become another senator pursuing an agenda for the few at the expense of most."
"Republican Linda Lingle's announcement today isn't particularly surprising," said Hirono campaign finance Chairwoman Jadine Nielsen in a statement. "The national Republican Party has been anxious to move Lingle back to center stage as they did at the 2008 Republican National Convention, when Lingle went on national television to second Sarah Palin's nomination for Vice President and endorse the McCain-Palin ticket over our island son, Barack Obama," Nielsen said.
Hirono did not release a statement or make herself available for interviews Tuesday.
Republican Lingle will once again run for statewide office in a state dominated by Democrats -- where 70 percent of the voters backed Barack Obama for president in 2008.
"Voters are very discerning. They're not robots. They don't just go down the line. They vote what's in the interest of their family and their business in Hawaii. And they're going to do the same thing here," Lingle said.
"Lingle's record is not getting along, not crossing the bridges, eight years of not accomplishing anything across the aisle," said Case. "And she did in fact go out there and endorse Sarah Palin, who is about as far right as you can get. And she wanted Sarah Palin to be the vice president of this country. And you cannot get away from that," Case said.
Lingle said Democrats have repeatedly tried to tie her to national Republicans who are unpopular in Hawaii.
"The reason it won't work is because the people of Hawaii know me. They know I have never put my political party before the people of Hawaii," Lingle said.
Lingle named retired Gen. Robert Lee as her campaign manager. Lee headed the state national guard as state adjutant general during Lingle's eight years as governor.
Case has named Lloyd Nekoba, a veteran of the campaigns of Gov. Neil Abercrombie and former Gov. Ben Cayetano, as his campaign manager.
The Pacific Club, where Lingle spoke Tuesday, did not admit women as members until 1984 and allowed its first asian American members in 1968.
Lingle is 58 years old, significantly younger than her GOP opponent Carroll, who is 81. Carroll is six years younger than Akaka and Dan Inouye, Hawaii's two current U.S. senators, who are both 87 years old.
She also said her highest priorities will be job creation and economic growth. Lingle said if elected, she will act as the point person for tourism in America. She also said she wants the federal government to conduct a jobs impact study to figure out how many jobs might be lost before it implements new rules and regulations.

Salt Travels to Middleborough to Find the Fuss Over the Cuss Law
June 13, 2012 1:36 PM
Karson & Kennedy
Listen weekday mornings from 5:30am-9am on Mix 104.1.Read More
Middleborough recently passed a law that prevented people from swearing unless they wanted to pay a $20 fine. With that news, Salt saw it as a perfect opportunity to have some fun and potentially get arrested.
Salt avoided the law, but he couldn't avoid some angry individuals, whose combined fines while talking to Salt would probably exceed $100. Salt later talked to the police captain, where he learned that the law won't even be enforced for another couple of months.

1940-03-29 Joe Louis w rsc 2 (15) Johnny Paychek, Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD. Referee: Arthur Donovan. At the mercy of the champion and on the run from the opening bell, it was clear from the start that Paychek (187½) was not going to last and he was dropped three times in the first round before being finished off after 0.44 of the second. It was a solid right to Paychek's jaw that started the rot, dropping the latter for 'nine'. Down again almost immediately from a left hook to the same spot, on getting to his feet Paychek ran into another right to the jaw and took a further 'nine' count. Louis (201½) started the second as if he needed to get home in a hurry and after he had rocked Paychek several times a tremendous right to the chin dumped the balding challenger on the deck out to the world. After he had reached 'seven' the referee called the count off when he realised that Paychek was choking on his gumshield, and care was administered to the beaten fighter before he could leave the ring.

The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show has always been known take half baked ideas and run with them... That's part of the charm of the show,
If you haven't heard, all weekend long we are encouraging you to pay it forward! That can mean literally anything, like holding a door for someone, paying expired parking meters, bringing someone some coffee, buying someone lunch, ect...
July 27 will mark one year since we lost radio legend, Kidd Kraddick. He was known for his overwhelming generosity and kindness. Here's how you can keep his legacy alive.
Another year means another opportunity to make Disney dreams come true for terminally and chronically ill children.
After the passing of our beloved Kidd Kraddick, one of the questions floating around was, 'What about Dish Nation?'
I don't think the loss of Kidd Kraddick has really sunk in for me yet. It's almost like he's still here when you turn on the radio in the morning with all of the 'best of' bits they're playing.
I think we can all agree that listening to the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning show today was pretty heavy without Kidd.
Early indications from the Jefferson Parish Coroner's office say radio personality Kidd Kraddick died from heart disease.
Kidd goes to get a facial at his daughter Caroline's new job, and he left with a $210 bill… Turns out the facial wasn't the only thing Caroline charged on the credit card...
After a full week of rehearsing, songwriting and practicing…Our Rock Camp band premieres their first original song called "Breaking Point...
This is just mean! After getting booed along side Charlie Sheen last night, Kidd got it at work this morning, too! If you missed them talking about it, the Charlie Sheen show last night was a total joke...

UNIVERSITY PARK — The only big mistake that Highland Park made in its game against Everman at the Tom Landry Classic was breaking the trophy.
On the swelteringly hot Ford Stadium turf at SMU, Highland Park's offense, behind quarterback Brady Burgin, scored five consecutive times that it took the field, running out to 41 first-half points in a 48-28 win Saturday.
Burgin went 16-for-23 for 278 yards and four touchdowns for SportsDay's Class 4A area No. 2 Highland Park (1-0) in his first game as a full-time starter.
He split time with Jake Howeth last season.
"We knew we were going to come out here and execute offensively," Burgin said.
After Highland Park fumbled on the opening drive, No. 4 Everman (0-1) took immediate advantage, as slot back Pat Small ran 85 yards on a trap play for a 7-0 lead.
Highland Park scored on the subsequent possession and never trailed again.
"We seemed to answer every time they scored on us," coach Randy Allen said.
Small, who finished with 236 total yards, closed Highland Park's lead to 21-14 with a 53-yard touchdown catch from Devynn Birdow with 8:35 remaining in the first half.
Preston Miller scored on the following kickoff, on a 92-yard return.

Don't Let Lead Crash Your Christmas Party
by Alicia Voorhies, RN
I know. I'm sitting smack dab on my soap box right in the middle of the Christmas season. It's just too hard to ignore the fact that lead continues to sneak into our celebrations each year.
Why You Should Send Lead Packing
Although lead levels have decreased in children over the past several years, it is still widely used in an array of everyday products. Lead is often used in PVC plastic products, paint pigment, jewelry, and ceramics.
Lead is a neurotoxin that can cause learning disorders, brain and nerve damage, hearing problems, stunted growth, and digestive problems. Scientists are increasingly convinced that there is no safe level of lead exposure, especially for young children. The EPA has also listed lead as a probable human carcinogen.
How to Break Up Lead's Toxic Party
- Go with a real Christmas tree: most fake trees are made from PVC and are treated with toxic flame retardants. If you decide that a resuable tree is necessary, there are polyethylene (PE) options available. Keep in mind that even PE pre-lit trees still have PVC in the light string casing.
- Choose RoHS compliant, lead-safe Christmas lights (learn more about this in the Quick Tips section): last year Healthy Toys released a report showing that 4 out of 5 sets of string lights tested contained lead. By far the best source of RoHS lights we've found here in the U.S. is Environmental Lights.
- Skip cheap jewelry and PVC plastic toys for kids' gifts: the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) has been testing jewelry and toys for years and they've consistently found unsettling amounts of lead.
- Be careful not to use lead crystal glassware and make sure your ceramic and China dishware has been tested for heavy metals by the manufacturer.
- Use non-toxic, lead-free paints (especially finger paints) when decorating Christmas cards and ornaments.
You pregnant mamas out there need to be careful with lead exposure risk too. A recent study linked low lead levels linked to higher blood pressure during labor, so be sure you let daddy do the decorating or wear gloves in situations where you have to be involved.

Finding vegan liquid foundation that is affordable and paraben-free is a daunting task. As a vegan beauty blogger, it is my goal to search till I find my holy grail vegan foundation to help myself and to help all of my readers.
Here are some products I've tried:
The Stila One-Step Makeup was okay, but its really yellow toned and I'm about as fair as they come so it really doesn't work for me; it also has a very thick texture and you have to use your fingers to pat it in. I also don't like Stila's customer service. They were rude to me when I was inquiring about which of their products were vegan and which weren't. They were very curt and simply responded "we cannot claim vegan." How arrogant does that sound? Very unhelpful and they took ages to get back to me, and they didn't want to help me in the first place. Also, just look through the ingredients on their foundations…full of preservatives and chemicals that aren't good for the skin and our bodies.
While I do like the color and coverage of ALDI's Lacura foundation in transparent, its more of a dewy finish and causes me to break out when I wear it, and again it has the same points against it as Stila does as far as chemicals and parabens. It is very cheap though, $3.49, but I can't guarantee 100% that its vegan, although the ingredients appear that way. I'm starting to lean more towards products that are certified vegan, but those again are very expensive usually. I am, however, willing to spend more money on foundation that doesn't break me out, is cruelty-free and vegan, provides natural coverage, and matches my skin tone. If my skin is non-irritated and less prone to break out, I won't need as much foundation (that's how I'm going to look at it).
The next product I've tried (and still enjoy) is the Kiss My Face Tinted Moisturizer in Manilla. It is light enough, no parabens, and its vegan. It does have a watery texture and doesn't provide enough coverage for me (but it is supposed to be a lighter product). It is in no way moisturizing, its more of a light, matte foundation. I think this is a good mixing product if your foundation isn't light enough or too thick. I currently use it as a base for mineral powder foundation, which seems to provide a decent coverage but can look a bit too overdone for everyday use.
I decided to purchase some Ecco Bella Flowercolor Natural Foundation in the shade Bisque (their lightest shade) on vitacost.com. On their official website, the foundation is about $22.95, which, to be fair is cheaper than most high end foundations. But, vitacost.com sells it for about $15.31, which is a super deal. With shipping, it only costed about $20, which is very doable in most people's budgets. If you are going to spend more $ in your makeup routine, put it towards foundation!
Bisque actually appears like it will be light/cool toned enough and reviews on makeupalley.com seem to confirm this as well. The reviews were mixed on the quality of the foundation for the price, but I'm willing to give them they benefit of the doubt because this company, by far, have the most natural list of ingredients I've seen for a liquid foundation for the most affordable price. Its also a water-based foundation, which is my favorite formula, especially for the summer months. It provides UVA/UVB protection (SPF 15) which is crucial for good skincare. I will probably need to find a more potent sunscreen if I'm going to be outside for long periods of time though. I also like that its in a squeeze tube so you can get every last bit of product out, and its much more sanitary than a pour top bottle.
I will update all of you when I receive the product and have a chance to wear it for a couple of weeks (I like to give a skin product a good length of time to test because skin can take awhile to show irritation and breakouts from products.) I'm cautiously optimistic about this product, only because I've been disappointed so many times in the past. Let me know what kind of foundation the rest of you vegan makeup lovers wear!

BESS, TEXAS (Duval County). Bess was sixteen miles north of San Diego in northeastern Duval County. A post office under the name of Mindiette operated there for less than a year in 1879, with Fabian Favela as postmaster. A second post office named Shaeffer after a local rancher opened in 1883 with John F. Leo Phelan as postmaster. In the 1890s a general store operated in Shaeffer, and by 1914 the town had a cotton gin. The local school was still known as the Mindiette school when forty-one pupils were registered in 1906–07. In 1917 the community was renamed Bess. In 1925 its estimated population was twenty. Two years later the count was 100, but by the mid-1930s it was again twenty, where it remained through 1990. Bess had two businesses during the 1930s, but by the early 1940s only one was still in operation. In the late 1940s the community had a few dwellings, a church, a cemetery, and a school. By 1955 the latter was known as the Bess school, but by the mid-1960s it had been consolidated with the San Diego Independent School District. At that time the community, which had a few scattered dwellings and the García and San José cemeteries, was called Mendiates on maps. In the mid-1970s the church was still identified as the Bess church.

John Lamont MSP calls for Borders disused rail lines to be made into bike paths
Dangerous roads putting people off riding, says Scottish politician
Showing that it's not just big cities that need more and better provision for cycling, Scottish parliamentarian John Lamont has called for cycling facilities to be improved in rural areas such as his constituency of Hawick.
According to the Hawick News, he said: "Investment in cycling in the Borders pales into insignificance when compared to more urban areas."
Mr Lamont is calling for the conversion of the area's disused railway lines into bike paths.
"There are some great cycling routes including the loops to Newcastleton and Roberton. However, these routes could be made more popular if parts of the A7 road were improved and made safer for cyclists. This could also help many of our local tourism businesses if more cyclists visited the area."
Cycling's profile has never been higher, but Mr Lamont points out that surveys show many people won't get on their bikes because they think the roads are too dangerous.
"We have a unique opportunity at the moment to encourage more people to take up cycling", he stated. "We cannot allow this opportunity to pass us by and we need to be doing everything we can to encourage cyclists on to our roads. But unfortunately many are being put off by the dangerous environments we currently have on our roads."
While urban cycling fatalities are the ones that often make the news, RoSPA points out that around half of cyclist fatalities occur on rural roads.
The perceived danger of the roads is why the Borders area needs investment in a cycling network, Mr Lamont said. "By converting old rail lines and building new cycle routes we can help to vastly improve safety and encourage more people to take up this healthy hobby."
Or you could sort out the motorist problem, oh but it's easier to just try and ignore the problem it seems.

This might be a bit radical, but you could try turning those disused railway lines into working railways, which would take a lot of heavy traffic off the roads. They could also provide easy access to the borders from the towns and cities of the central belt for people to take their bikes out for day trips.
Also with less heavy traffic it would also be possible to free space for safe cycle routes along the major road routes into and cross the Borders, which follow the course of least resistance. Currently, cyclists are pushed off to the minor roads, which often have far stepper inclines and are not always suitable family cycling (or long distance commuting).

How do you sort out this 'problem', then? Education? Pricing? Neither has been shown to be very effective where they've been tried.

The introduction of stricter liability, as part of a package of safety measures, would help to ensure that all road users understand the responsibility they have on the road whether in a car or on a bike. Ultimately, this should lead encourage mutual respect, greater awareness and make the roads safer for the more vulnerable road users.

I used to live in Dumfriesshire and always really enjoyed riding across through the borders, didn't seem that bad at the time, especially compared to where I now live on the edge of Salisbury, which in my opinion is WAY more dangerous!

I ride out north of Carlisle regularly towards Newcastleton and the Borders and encounter very little traffic. Marvellous! The road between Newcastleton and Langholm is a wonderful, largely traffic-free adventure. Great to see the MSP supporting the growth of cycling, and for many new to the sport converted railway lines would be a more enticing environment to get used to its attractions. It is somewhat ironic, though, in the context of the horrors we read about on this website.

Difficult to know from the press coverage as we all know that the context and actual wording of his quotes can be quickly lost, but it does strike me that he could be missing something here.
I live in the Borders, and the back roads are fantastic. He mentioned the A7, but that is one of only a small handful of 'main' roads in the borders ... the miles of minor roads are generally deserted.
One problem here though are the hills that are often between main towns, and the old railway network could provide an excellent option for helping avoid these for cyclists, as well as in some cases shortening the journey length a fair bit.
Rather than calling for a blanket upgrade of railways to cycle paths, which with the best will in the world ain't going to go anywhere, perhaps it would be better for Mr Lamont to select a few key sections to champion - sections that would have a large and pretty immediate impact (e.g. Hawick to St Boswells), following which the case for others would be easier to make.

Golf styles with an urban attitude
At first glance, golf courses look pretty similar to parks – unless of course we're talking skate parks. For the new BOSS Green collection the fashion house from Metzingen made a conscious choice to hold the photo shoot away from the greens of a golf course, and took inspiration instead from the gritty street vibe of a skate park in L.A..
Skaters and locals looked on in astonishment as the team around German professional golfer and BOSS Green ambassador Martin Kaymer, set up their gear to shoot the campaign against the urban backdrop. Innovative functional wear in classic modern patterns and the colors of the BOSS Green collection instead of baggy pants and sneakers made for a sporty atmosphere even without the skateboards.
For Martin Kaymer, the hard asphalt gray environment was also an exciting change from the deep green he's used to, although he joked that it did remind him a little of a sand bunker. For the staging of the campaign, the creative team was able to rely on an experienced crew: the photographers Hunter & Gatti from Barcelona had already been involved with the last BOSS campaign to great success. The duo is known in the fashion world for their high quality advertising campaigns and editorials, but portraits like that of Formula 1 driver and HUGO BOSS ambassador Jenson Button are also part of their extensive repertoire. Instead of the more static look of the previous campaign, the focus this time was on movement and dynamism. The geometric shapes of the skate park and heavy concrete served to highlight the contrast of the sporty look. Only the bright sunshine and close proximity to the deep blue sea posed a bit of a challenge. After all, the shoot was meant to be for the BOSS Green Fall/Winter collection 2013, despite the summer temperatures.

Museum Hours
- Studio: Cinema Guild
- Release Date: Jun 28, 2013
- Summary: When a Vienna museum guard befriends an enigmatic visitor, the grand Kunsthistorisches Art Museum becomes a mysterious crossroads which sparks explorations of their lives, the city, and the ways artwork reflects and shapes the world.
- Director: Jem Cohen
- Genre(s): Drama

Positive: 17 out of 18
Mixed: 1 out of 18
Negative: 0 out of 18
Some may find the film underpowered. Not me. With elegant understatement, Cohen creates a humane testament to reaching out, whatever our habits and routines.
Jem Cohen's film finds its most salient tension in the fraught relationship between known and unknown objects.
This movie is rigorously and intensely lifelike, which is to say that it's also a strange and moving work of art.
The real strength of Cohen's occasionally didactic drama, though, is in the way the film redirects your focus to the periphery and reminds you of the richness that resides there. It was an achievement Bruegel mastered early on. And it's what makes Museum Hours its own work of art.
Blurring documentary/fiction boundaries, writer/director Jem Cohen's film is deceptively simple.
It's a hybrid drama/art-history essay about how looking at art recasts our experience of looking at the world.
Part travelogue, part narrative and part art-history class. The class is what's best about this pretty decent movie.

Aug 26, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have come to accept that many European movies are slow especially at the beginning. Watching this film is more like looking through a book of photography filled with images around a theme, interspersed with a bit of a story with a nice message (great works of art, and especially Breughel's are life and we can and should view our lives with the same appreciation that we view works at the Kunsthistoricshes museum). Expecting nothing more means more enjoyment of the movie. Bit's of playful surprises spice up many (moving) images of Vienna...video street photography. And, the interactions between the movie's two characters is, likewise, slow, complex, and without much in the way of plot movement.… Expand

I am satisfied with this movie. It is good to see a movie like this after some time, especially after I was busy with Oscar event and nominee movies. Although the art movie is not my type, sometimes I get bored for its slow presentation, but sometimes I will be thrilled to enjoy those great visuals.
Movies without commercial values are kinda bores me. Sometime intense scenes and inappropriate scenes turn me off. There are many people who love this rare form of the movie, but my interest in those movies depends on what it deals. This movie was about art museum, I like paintings and drawing so managed to enjoy it.
This movie was like a documentary about an art museum from Austria. They concentrated more on art pieces to explain behind story of those. They just added a couple of characters in the movie with a story to start and end about the beautiful Vienna museum. Yeah, it worked so well, human emotions plus great fine arts, totally an awesome blend.
If you ask me, I would say it is an another form of 'Before Sunrise'. The whole movie takes place between two characters, Anne and Johan. Mostly they talk largely about paintings and Vienna city. It is a kinda educational purpose where we can get information about the city and its history. You won't like it just after a watch, it will take time. Day by day you will begin like it more and more, that is how this movie is made up of.… Expand

Art museum guard Johann reveals himself to us in the voiceover as a mildly philosophical, pragmatic fellow who makes the most of things. His common-sense observations make us glad he's befriended a visitor from Montreal who's there in trying circumstances. (And who has the worst movie hair since, possibly, Cameron Diaz in "Being John Malkovich.") Anne also is not as engaging as Johann -- not winsome at all, really -- and the film could be 20 minutes shorter. Yet for the most part, the interplay between the characters, the settings and the museum artwork is fascinating, instructive, thought-provoking. I enjoyed the observations about art and the implicit challenge to think about people's (possible) inner lives in a different way.… Expand

Want to improve your ability to draft better performers?
We have the tools you need!
Plott Advanced System Combines Personality and Judgment to Revolutionize Your Performance
Most people are familiar with personality profiles. There is a more important component to performance than personality, which is "decision making ability!" Personality is important, but it is relatively unchanging, and not the key to success or failure. The decisions athletes make on and off the field combine with talent and training to be the deciding factors.
Judgment is fluid! Events each day change the way we make future decisions. Therefore, you can improve your choices and find greater success. PAS is the only place you can find trained consultants able to make the most of who you are naturally and able to understand and redirect your decision making patterns to improve your athletic performance.
The PAS Athletic Profile has been used for a decade on thousands of athletes. The information it provides allows us to develop plans for success, find the motivation to reach the goal, plan for the inevitable roadblocks that pop up, and address the personal issues that stand in the way of success.
Our resume includes individuals and teams ranging from PGA Tour Players, BASS Elite Series Anglers, NCAA Division I and II teams, aspiring Olympic athetes, world record setters, national and state champions, and your average and beginner athletes. PAS works with coaches and athletic organizations to improve the training and support environments for performing athletes.
PAS trains and certifies coaches and instructors to administer the Profile and interpret it into their sport of interest for the purpose of working with individuals and teams. "The results of our certification process have been outstanding," says Charles Plott (creator of the PAS Profile). "Coaches tells us the learning curve has been shortened, their teams are stronger mentally, and their words spoken at critical times are just what is needed to bring the best out of their players," he adds.
What does Charles Plott know that helped Captain Azinger put together a winning team?
The answer is in the book! It can help your team succeed as well.

Dec 10, tomorrow morning, 6AM to 7AM Pacific Standard Timehttp://news.opb.org/article/west-coast-gets-full-view-lunar-eclipse/
Awesome. Unfortunately I won't see it down here.
BummerLooking a little more closely, it's just West coast U.S. thing (and West to Asia, Australia?)For you Easterners, the moon will be set so you won't see it
OK, so this morning I took a chance on the eclipse here in Boulder, CO. I live on a ridge east of town, and I hoped the moon wouldn't set before full eclipse and the sunrise. I missed it by maybe 10 minutes, as the almost full eclipse dropped behind the mountains a bit before sunrise. Bummer. Did anyone get lucky and see the predicted orange moon-show?
Though from the comfort of my computer. I had woken up early this morning to go out and see the eclipse. After hearing about it just before bed. Only after I woke up and fired on the computer did I read that us East coasters had no chance of seeing the event. So I did the next best thing I could think of and watched it live online. I do not think it was nearly as cool had I seen it in personhttp://events.slooh.com/Oh well, Now Im off to go for a run since I didnt get my eclipse hike in.Bummer ya missed it by ten min, still an early morning hike is very nice.
I missed it - foggySaw it on TV though : )
Watched the eclipse go total, then went inside to warm up. Went out 20 minutes later and the fog had arrived. A couple of neighbors were outside, but most didn't bother to get up.
here it is
I watched it through the window of the bus, on my way to work this morning. There are some very nice pictures over at spaceweather.com
Missed the ending due to fog, and the beginning due to sleep, but caught a lot of middle:
Wow -- nice shot. Nothing better than the orange glow.
Thats a sweet shot!

Here is a summary of a valve cover gasket replacement on a 1998 E38, M62 engine. It is a supplement to the TIS and other e38.org links.
Parts needed: 22 ea. of the sealing washers, right and left cover gasket sets, HYLOMAR gasket sealer (Autozone), set of eight spark plugs, several different 10mm sockets and wrenches (incl. offset box wrench), gunk degreaser, rags, dentist pick, and misc. standard tools.
Firstly, gunk and rinse the engine with the acoustic cover off. (Don't use too much water pressure). Then wipe down around the valve covers now and during operations to keep dirt from dropping into the valve train while you are wrestling the cover off.
As known from e38.org and roadfly.com the TIS is primarily accurate but does not mention that the fuel injector connectors have a metal clip that must be released before lifting the cable box out of the way.
As stated in the TIS, I found that it is impossible to remove and replace the covers without the cable boxes being moved. The passenger side is the hardest of the two to unclip the connectors. I used a dentist pick (90 deg. ends). For each connector on the passenger side, carefully lift the end of the wire clip and slide the end about halfway down the side of the connector. This releases both sides. The following photo shows one clip in release position after the box has been moved up and away from the injectors (bottom). The box conveniently rests on the fuel rail.
I did the front three connectors from the top, sort of, and the rear-most one looking from the top of the radiator towards the back of the car. You can't see the rear-most one from most other angles. This part is a real pain. It's like defusing a timebomb. If you slip, that clip goes down into the nether regions of the engine compartment. I found that the clips were well-behaved, though. You'll see what I mean.
There are three other places that interfere with removal of the cover. First, one of the brake lines to the ABS block needs to be held back away so the cover doesn't scrape it too much coming off.
Next, on my car, a fuel line hose clamp at the back of the pass. side interfered with the cover and prevented full removal. To remove the cover I peeled off the old gasket with the cover loose to buy an extra 1/4 inch. To replace the cover, I opened the clamp 2 turns and carefully rotated the clamp ccw to get the screw head out of the way, then retightend two turns.
Finally, as stated in the TIS, the flow meter needs to get out of the way for foward removal of the cover. All you have to do here is unclip the filter box cover and move forward a bit.
Finally, the driver's side requires that you disconnect the battery, and then disconnect the pos. terminal on top of the cover. I found that the driver's side was easier with the cable box cover removed to make more slack for the wire that runs down with the pos battery cable. To remove the cover, carefully pry up all the top and side clips, then rotate the cover gently down to unclip the ones on the bottom. To install, just press on at each clip loc. Also, the driver's side has only three injectors under the cable box. The forth is rearward and has a different clip style (push in at the bottom to release).
I used HYLOMAR blue gasket gunk (from Autozone) at the timing case joints and the corners of the cutouts at the rear.

OK, I used to draw when I was younger but kids & work interfered with my time, energy, and emotions... I need passion to draw. Recently, and at the age of 40+ I started drawing again. I saw drawings on here and thought I would take a picture of one drawing I am almost finished with and one I am just starting... for your opinions. I have horses and am beginning to discover passionate emotion again.
There are so many great artists on this forum that I am humbled (and a little worried about showing my work).

NFL: Cowboys defeat Washington 31-16
Arlington, Texas • Dwayne Harris and the Dallas defense were so good that Tony Romo didn't have to do it all for the Cowboys.
Harris returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown and set up another score with a 90-yard kickoff return, helping the Cowboys hand Robert Griffin III his first loss in his home state with a 31-16 victory against Washington on Sunday night.
Romo had just 170 yards passing a week after getting 506 in a wild 51-48 loss to Denver.
That's because Harris had 222 total return yards and Kyle Wilber forced and recovered a fumble on a sack of Griffin that left the Cowboys needing just 3 yards for a clinching score in the fourth quarter.
"Dwayne did a fantastic job," Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. "Talk about making difference-making plays in the game."
Dallas kept defending NFC East champion Washington from building any momentum after a win and a bye following an 0-3 start.
Joseph Randle, playing because running back DeMarco Murray was out with a sprained left knee, got his first career touchdown after Wilber's big play. He scored from the 1 when he stayed on his feet with a defender draped over him and was pushed into the end zone by center and Travis Frederick for a 31-16 lead.
Harris' punt return gave Dallas a 14-3 lead in the second quarter, and the big kickoff return came after Kai Forbath's third field goal pulled Washington to 14-9 in the third.
"They make my job so much easier when they block," Harris said. "I give them all the credit. We worked so hard in practice and it showed in the game."
Romo finished the job after Harris' key kickoff return. He stepped out of a potential sack and threw off balance into the corner of the end zone, where Terrance Williams got two feet down just as he made the catch and was pushed out of bounds by E.J. Biggers for a 15-yard score and a 21-9 lead.
Griffin, who was brilliant in a Thanksgiving win at the Cowboys as a rookie last year, said he was rejuvenated after a bye following Washington's first win of the season against Oakland. And he looked it.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner had 246 yards passing and another 77 rushing as Wsashington outgained Dallas 416 to 213.
