All right, maybe he didn't have all that much to do with it. Still, Wilson's encounter with the Nosferatu of alt-rock last spring is emblematic of the frustrating roadblocks that kept him from just getting the damn album out. Aan's management company insisted the group position itself to make a huge splash with its debut, and that included five dates supporting the Smashing Pumpkins. Leaping from playing clubs to sold-out amphitheaters six times, the band's approachably off-center sound translated well. It wasn't until the last show, however, that the Great Pumpkin himself deigned to commiserate with his opening act.
"We went to his dressing room. He's in nothing but a white robe, and his Yoko is in the room, not saying anything and giving us hard eyeballs," says Wilson over beers and a Blazers game at Maui's on North Williams Avenue. "Five of us are piled into the room. Everyone has a question, and he's clearly not interested in us, but he's polite. He's like"—Wilson affects a pinched nasal whine—"'You guys have a good tiiiiime?' We left there like, 'That just happened.'"
That, it turns out, is the only thing that happened. A big label deal never materialized. Meetings turned into more meetings that turned into dead ends. Meanwhile, the album Aan spent two years making sat in limbo. Aan had flirted with the big time, and all Wilson got was a lousy anecdote about meeting an aging rock star.
Things used to be so much simpler. Aan (pronounced "on") began as a way for Wilson, the son of an Idaho cattle rancher, to learn how to write songs between his sideman duties in exploratory Portland rock bands like Ghost to Falco and Ohioan. Expanding gradually out of Wilson's bedroom, Aan cycled through members—Wilson estimates he's played with seven different guitarists since the project started—and musical styles, from psychedelic pop to noisy folk. An agent at an L.A. management firm, which shall remain nameless, got hold of Aan's EP, I Could Be Girl for You, and convinced the band it was ready to "take a big step." But promises continually fell through, and calls began going unreturned for days at a time.
"I kind of had a breakdown," Wilson says. "I'm getting pulled at many angles. One person in the band is like, 'Let's drop them right now,' and one person's like, 'Let's just wait it out.' Finally, I had to make my own decision and let them go. I was like, 'OK, that's exactly how I don't want to do things.''"
Aan signed with upstart Portland label Party Damage Records and launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to finance its album release. Not surprisingly, after all this time, Amor Ad Nauseum hardly sounds like a debut. It's a confident, muscular record that never quite does what you expect. Songs like the eruptive opener, "Wet and Dripping," a redux of an earlier track, and the aggressively churning "I Don't Need Love" are grounded in sharp melodies and vibrant indie-rock guitars, but the arrangements jerk and jolt at odd angles. Even in its quieter moments, it's an exhilarating listen.
And now that people are finally able to hear it, Wilson is looking to move on as soon as possible. He'd ideally like to have another piece of music out this year, but the band hasn't exactly reached an ideal level of stability: Current guitarist Patrick Phillips could get called back to his main act, Brainstorm, at any moment. But after spending the past few years in stasis, Wilson can't complain about a little volatility in the lineup. Or much else, for that matter.
"I'm in a healthy relationship with my partner, and my life with my band and my friends and everything," Wilson says. "Maybe things can be pretty fucked up sometimes, but most of the time, they're pretty good."

If you have questions about placement testing at IUPUC, contact University College for information.
As a new IUPUC student, placement testing may be needed to provide your academic advisor with more information about your academic skills. The results from placement tests help your academic advisor place you in appropriate courses and maximize your academic success.
All IUPUC students must complete a math placement test. You will complete the COMPASS mathematics test, a multiple-choice test evaluating your ability to apply sequences of basic operations to novel settings or in complex ways. The exam also evaluates your conceptual understanding of principles and relationships for mathematical operations in subject areas including algebra, geometry, and trignometry.
The English placement test requires you to write a short essay that takes and supports a specific position on a social issue. The essay determines which of two writing courses is the best starting point for your college career.
If you plan to enroll in ENG-W 130 (the lower-level of the two beginning English courses), you are not required to complete a placement essay but you may choose to use it to help your advisor determine whether ENG-W 130 is the best course for you. Credit from ENG-W 130 does not count toward most degree programs but it is required if the results of the placement test so indicate it would be beneficial to your academic success.
On the other hand, ENG-W 131 is a required class that must be taken to graduate. You are eligible to register for ENG-W 131 if you meet at least one of these criteria.
If you are transferring to IUPUC from another campus and you already have credit for ENG-W 130 or ENG-W131, you do not need to complete English placement testing.
University policy requires that most international students take the EAP placement test before registering for classes even if the TOEFL test has been taken. Your letter of admission from the Office of Recruitment and Admissions will indicate if you are required to take this test.
Because this test is used to accurately determine your English language skill level, you do not need to "prepare" for it. The scores are used to assign EAP classes that best meet your academic needs and provide you with favorable English experiences necessary for a successful academic career at IUPUC.
If you are a graduate student for whom English is not your native or first language, university policy also requiresthat you take the EAP placement test before the start of your first semester on campus. Based on the results of the EAP test, you may be required to take supplemental English courses.
A fee of $35 must be paid to take the EAP test. Please submit payment to IUPUC's Office of the Bursar prior to your exam date/time. Cash or checks are accepted Monday-Friday during normal business hours. Please bring your payment receipt to your exam and show it to the testing assistant as proof of payment.
All IUPUC students who have previously taken Spanish in high school or have previous experience in Spanish are eligible to take the Spanish Placement Exam. The placement test is a computer-based test and is free of charge to all current IUPUC students. The test helps students place into a more advanced class depending on their results.
The Spanish Placement Exam takes approximately one hour. You will need to make an appointment with your assigned academic advisor to discuss if this test is a good option for you. Once you receive approval and a testing request form from your advisor, please call University College at 812.348.7200 to schedule your testing appointment.

Following the Lakers' 104-85 loss at home to the Grizzlies on Sunday, L.A.'s coach and star player traded criticisms through the media.
After Kobe Bryant took 12 of the team's 22 shots in the third quarter of the loss the Grizzlies, Jackson said, "Kobe had to screw up the game and start energizing the team by going one-on-one. That takes the rest of the guys out and as a consequence, that didn't bring us back in."
Jackson also pointed a finger at himself, saying he'd reconsider the off days he's been giving the Lakers. He gave the team New Year's Day off, but said he'd "learn better from that."
Bryant had his own remarks about Jackson -- albeit indirectly -- and how the Lakers are handling their recent struggles.
"We've had days off and blown teams out, so I'm not buying any of that Zen (bulls---)," Bryant said, according to Fox Sports. "I think we're looking too far down the road instead of looking just at the game that's right in front of you. You start skipping steps if you look too far down the line."
The Lakers have lost four of their last six games after a five-game winning streak in mid-December.
On Monday, Bryant addressed Jackson's criticism directly, telling reporters it was to be expected.
"When you've been around Phil for as many years as I have, we all understand that he likes coaching publicly," Bryant told reporters Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Bryant also admitted he took matters into his own hands on the court and that he was willing to absorb the backlash.
"[Jackson] was right," Bryant told reporters. "I totally broke the offense, but I did it intentionally because I felt like we needed to get something started because what we were doing just wasn't working. I tried to kick-start it, and sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. When it works out, great. When it doesn't, I take the criticism for it but I have thick enough skin to be able to do it."
Bryant added that teammates Ron Artest and Pau Gasol should grow thicker skins and not be upset when Jackson calls them out.
"I think it's important for the new guys to understand that — Ron, Pau, guys that kind of have issues with that. That's how he coaches. It's fine. Just let him do his job and go about your business," Bryant said.

Bhutan King calls on students to be nation builders
Bhutan King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk has called on students to strive to become nation builders.
Addressing a group of 2,315 graduates before the closing ceremony of the national graduate orientation programme (NGOP), Kuensel quoted the king, as saying that Bhutan is a beautiful and blessed country, and it was the duty of the emerging generation not to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their ancestors' labours, but to work to achieve the many national goals still before them.
He told the graduates that there was a need to assess the quality of education in the country, and to ensure that it endows youth with the capability to be independent and successful in future.
On employment, he said the objective should be to improve quality of life of every individual in the country, and to ensure that everyone receives equal opportunities.
He said that only with better ideas and plans, could Bhutan manage its existing valuable resources better.
He said that the most important goal was to protect the sovereignty of the nation as assiduously as their ancestors had done before, and to maintain peace through unity.
Bhutan's cultural heritage, he said, is deeply rooted, and added that it was the responsibility of all to strive to protect national identity.

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
Pop quiz!
What do you expect the output of this program to be?
using System;
class Foo{ public Foo(string s) { Console.WriteLine("Foo constructor: {0}", s); } public void Bar() { }} class Base{ readonly Foo baseFoo = new Foo("Base initializer"); public Base() { Console.WriteLine("Base constructor"); }} class Derived : Base{ readonly Foo derivedFoo = new Foo("Derived initializer"); public Derived() { Console.WriteLine("Derived constructor"); }} static class Program{ static void Main() { new Derived(); }}
I got a question from a user recently noting that the order was not as he expected. One naively expects that the order will go "base initializers, base constructor body, derived initializers, derived constructor body". In fact the order actually is that first all the initializers run in order from derived to base, and then all the constructor bodies run in order from base to derived.
The latter bit makes perfect sense; the more derived constructors may rely upon state initialized by the less derived constructors, so the constructors should run in order from base to derived. But most people assume that the call sequence of the code above is equivalent to this pseudocode:
// ExpectedBaseConstructor(){ ObjectConstructor(); baseFoo = new Foo("Base initializer"); Console.WriteLine("Base constructor");} DerivedConstructor(){ BaseConstructor(); derivedFoo = new Foo("Derived initializer"); Console.WriteLine("Derived constructor");}
// ExpectedBaseConstructor(){ ObjectConstructor(); baseFoo = new Foo("Base initializer"); Console.WriteLine("Base constructor");} DerivedConstructor(){ BaseConstructor(); derivedFoo = new Foo("Derived initializer"); Console.WriteLine("Derived constructor");}
When in point of fact it is equivalent to this:
// ActualBaseConstructor(){ baseFoo = new Foo("Base initializer"); ObjectConstructor(); Console.WriteLine("Base constructor");} DerivedConstructor(){ derivedFoo = new Foo("Derived initializer"); BaseConstructor(); Console.WriteLine("Derived constructor");}
That explains the mechanism whereby the initializers run in order from derived to base and the constructor bodies run in the opposite order, but why did we choose to implement that mechanism instead of the more intuitively obvious former way?
Puzzle that one over for a bit, and then read on for a hint.
The "readonly" modifiers in there were no accident. The code gives the appearance that any call to derivedFoo.Bar() and baseFoo.Bar() should never fail with a null dereference exception because both are readonly fields initialized to non-null values.
I'll post the answers and analysis next week. Have a fabulous weekend!
Possible spoilers by implication, so ROT-13.

The most obvious thing that comes to my mind is virtual method calls in ancestor constructors. Bad practice in any case, though sometimes it's the most natural solution.
Actually implementation is rather confusing.
Make baseFoo and derivedFoo fields static and run the application. Derived will be initialized before base as with non-static fields.
Then, modify constructor of Foo to take reference to Foo and pass baseFoo to derivedFoo constructor. The initialization sequence will change to Base first, then Derived.
Ah, yes. I should have mentioned that. The rules for static constructors and static fields are subtly different, and I do not intend this article to discuss anything about the rules for statics. That's a great topic for a follow-up article.
1. Accurate.
2. Misleading. [Waves to James Gosling.]
Just a note. VB.NET does initialization differently.
I suspect there is a good reason behind every 'confusing' behavior... I think I know why the following program has to behave that way but I find it confusing nevertheless.
class Program {
static void Main() {
B b = new B();
class A {
public void Display() {
Console.WriteLine("from A");
class B : A {
new void Display() {
Console.WriteLine("from B");
public void OtherDisplay() {
I'll make a guess:
If it's done the 'obvious' way, there exists a point (during the base constructor) where the derived readonly field exists but is 0. There exists a later point where the same (readonly) field has a different value. That's presumably not good.
If it's done the other way around, then by the time any code runs which has access to the new object (the ObjectConstructor), all the readonly fields are fully initialized.
I'll guess further that this behaviour is due to some kind of weirdness in C# whereby the object's dynamic type is the type of the full object throughout construction, rather than the dynamic type changing as more constructors get called, as happens in C++.
Correct, though your characterization of the CLR semantics for the dynamic type of an object as "weirdness" is itself somewhat weird. I would argue that it is more weird for the dynamic type of an object to change throughout that object's lifetime! The type of an object is a constant from the moment it is created through to the moment it is destroyed. Mutable objects are hard enough to reason about; objects that mutate their own runtime type are truly odd.
A useful addition to C# would be to allow field initializers in true C++ fashion:
public class Stack<T>
private T[] items;
private int count;
public Stack<T>(int capacity) : items(new T[capacity]) { }
// ...
This corresponding IL code is currently tolerated by the CLR, and it solves several problems with assertions regarding nullability of fields.
class Base
readonly int baseFooValue = 1;
public Base()
protected virtual int Foo()
return baseFooValue ;
class Derived : Base
readonly derivedFooValue = 2;
public Derived()
protected override int Foo()
return derivedFooValue ;
This will print "2" but with the expected behavior it would print "0"!
Removing readonly modifier does not make any difference in the result. Am I missing something?
It's interesting to note that in VB .NET this isn't confusing at all. The syntax makes it clear what happens. If you explicitly call the base constructor, and you do it like this...
Public Sub New()
' some other code, and then:
End Sub
...the compiler tells you the base constructor call has to be the first line. Which makes it obvious, since it looks like a method call, that the base constructor's body gets executed first.
The C# syntax, unfortunately, is a bit more obtuse to those not familiar with it.
Welcome to the forty-first Community Convergence. The big news this week is that we have moved Future
Wouldn't the following order make the most sense (since base initializers have no way of referring to derived variables, but the reverse isn't true)? Or can you provide a counter-example?
base initializer
derived initializer
base constructor
derived constructor

Serai-Kabini is located in a village called Karapura, 220 kms away from Bangalore, near the Rajiv Gandhi National Park and is adjacent to the Kabini River Lodge property. Our resort is strategically located on the banks of the magnificent Kabini River and serves as a wonderful gallery for viewing wildlife.
The Kabini River runs between Bandipur and Nagarahole, two of the richest National Parks at the foothills of the Western Ghats in Southern India. These forests cover around 1500 sq. km (580 sq. miles) and are a mix of tropical moist and dry deciduous types.
The region around Kabini river supports tree species like Teak, Mathi, Dindla, Sandalwood, Rosewood and many more along with bamboo and other grasses.
The fauna boasts more than 300 species of birds, including the endemic Malabar Trogon and Malabar Pied Hornbill, the Crested Hawk-eagle as well as an impressive assemblage of herbivores like the Asiatic Elephant, the Gaur (Indian Bison) and the Sambar. Which results in a high density of prey in this region.
This in turn, supports a large and thriving population of predators like the Tiger (incidentally, the Nagarahole region is said to have the highest density of Tigers in India), the Leopard and the Indian Wild Dog.
The backwaters of the Kabini reservoir are now an important perennial water source where one can witness the largest and most spectacular congregations of Asiatic Elephants during peak summers.

Farmers Guest House Signature Lemon-Poppy Seed Scones
2 ¾ cups flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons poppyseeds
Zest of 2 large lemons
1 Tablespoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter in pieces (if using salted, reduce salt ¼ tsp)
½ c heavy cream
¼ c fresh lemon juice + 1 Tblsp for glaze
½ c powdered sugar
1.Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large bowl combine first seven ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture resembles very course meal. Pour in heavy cream, then add ¼ cup lemon juice, stirring just until dough forms. Don't overwork the dough!
2. Using your hands, gather dough together, divide into two equal parts. Press each into a ball. Transfer dough to a parchment lined or greased baking sheet and shape each into an 8 inch disc about one inch thick. Cut each disc into 8 wedges but do not separate. Bake 20 – 25 minutes until browned on top. These must cool on the pan or they will fall apart when transferred off the pan.
When cool, transfer to a flat surface covered with wax paper. In a sandwich size, zipper-type plastic bag mix powdered sugar with remaining lemon juice until smooth. Seal the bag. Cut just the tiniest bit of one corner off the bag and drizzle glaze over cooled scones. Separate scones to serve once glaze has set.
It should be noted that Susan adapted this recipe from Country Living, May, 2011

"It Started With A Kiss" and "They Kiss Again". Both of these are the live action shows of Itazura na Kiss...."It Started With A Kiss" is season one and "They Kiss Again" is season two.
It is pretty much the same as Itazura Na Kiss but adds ALOT more to the story. Its very funny and will give you something to watch while you are waiting on subs. Each episode is about 45 mins long and can be seen on Veoh as far as I know. I know Season one is 30 episodes but I'm un sure about season 2
Bad News: BUT in order to see it you must have a veoh account and the veoh tv download. Believe me, it well worth it. Just wanted to spread the joy and hope you have fun watching it like me if you decide to.

SPRINGFIELD — For the last 16 years, Doug Piquette has been the man behind the Thurston High boys basketball team.
That changed Friday when the longtime head coach officially resigned, Thurston athletic director Justin Starck confirmed.
Piquette was one of the longest tenured coaches in Lane County. He steps down two weeks after Thurston ended its season with a 15-11 record, capped by an emotional 59-55 loss to South Salem in the second round of the OSAA Class 6A state playoffs.
"To lose someone of Doug's stature and ability and just the things that he does for kids in our basketball program and in the school — it's just a huge loss," Starck said. "He is Thurston basketball and he's made sure that we put a competitive team out there at all times. He does things right on and off the court."
Piquette coached the Drew Wiley-led Colts to a third-place finish at the 5A state tournament in 2008. Thurston reached the second round of the playoffs in two of its four seasons competing in Class 6A.
In October 2013, Piquette was inducted in the Springfield High School Hall of Fame for his standout prep career in soccer, basketball and track for the Millers. He played in the 10-team 5AAA basketball league in the late 1980s, at the same time that current Springfield girls coach Bill Wagner was a standout at North Eugene.
Starck said he plans to post the job opening by the end of the day, adding that Piquette plans to continue teaching physical education at the high school.
"It's a big loss for us," Starck said. "Fortunately, he's left the cupboard full and there's a tremendous about of support from him and in the community for the next person and he's still working diligently to get things ready for the next person."

As of Tuesday, July 9, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON — The floors are being waxed, furniture is being moved in and workers are putting the finishing touches on the new Newton High School this month.
Construction crews, custodial staff and school system employees are working hard to get the school ready to open for staff at the end of the month and students on Aug. 2.
The new building replaces the former Newton High School, which was built in 1974 and is no longer under state funding, similar to the old Sharp school building on Newton Drive, as well as Palmer Stone and Ficquett elementary schools.
The site, which broke ground in August 2011, is located on nearly 118 acres of land on Crowell Road North that also fronts Jack Neely Road, which was purchased by the Newton County School System in late 2010 for about $2.3 million. The land was previously bank-owned and previously foreclosed on after being abandoned as an undeveloped neighborhood.
The project is budgeted to cost more than $50 million.
McKnight Construction Company Inc. out of Augusta serves as the general contractor of the construction of the school building, and architects from Cunningham, Forehand, Matthews and Moore developed site plans.
The new school's campus is made up of a two-story 395,125-square-foot building with an auditorium, media center, gymnasium and commons area; a bus parking lot; two parking lots on either side of the building; athletic and practice fields and a sports complex. It also could hold a future stadium or some other feature.
"The building can hold 2,500 students at its maximum," said Craig Lockhart, deputy superintendent of Schools. "I anticipate that we will maintain our average enrollment of about 1,850 students at this time."
The school building features a Viewpath S.A.F.E. camera, audio and silent alarm system, which was piloted in several classrooms at the old Newton High School building last school year.
The new system will provide cameras in classrooms and hallways. The system is expected to cost about $500,000, which will be paid for out of capital funds.
The system includes two classroom cameras and a handheld microphone for students to use in class, while the teacher wears a device that amplifies their voices and also houses a silent alarm that alerts the front office and law enforcement. As soon as an alarm sounds, the video kicks in to record any evidence.
Teacher files and some other items already have been moved from the old building and most of the furniture is in place, according to Jan Loomans, director of Operational Services for the Newton County School System.
Administrators already are located in the building, and teachers are expected to begin moving in and setting up rooms after July 15, according to school officials.
Student tours will be given July 24 and 26. Students from various clubs and sports will be trained the week of July 22 to give tours of the building. Open House is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. July 31.
A dedication ceremony is scheduled to be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 25. It will be open to the public.
The official Covington address is 1 Ram Way. Originally, the school's address was a Crowell Road address; however, Eddie Johnson, then-chair of the Newton County Board of Education, and the board requested in January to rename the entrance road similar to how it was previously addressed, 140 Ram Drive, after the school's ram mascot.

Spain delays bailout, China growth slows
European Central Bank president Mario Draghi (L) speaks with Spanish Finance Minister Luis De Guindos before a Eurozone Council at the Kirchberg conference center in Luxembourg on June 21, 2012.
In Europe, the latest signals are that Spain will not take a bailout in the immediate term. Jay Bryson, a global economist with Wells Fargo Securities, says that politics may be to blame for the delay, "there's an important election coming up in Catalonia, which has talked about succeeding from Spain, in November, and so it's kind of politically embarassing to get a bailout right now."
Outside of Europe, there are also economic concerns about China's slowing economy. Bryson doesn't expects a soft landing over a hard crash,"I don't think we are going to be looking at a China growing ten percent again, if ever," says Bryson, but the Chinese economy "is not overly levered, you look at consumers, they are not like American consumers back in 2007 with the housing crash."
Increasingly though, consumer spending rather than investment is driving growth in China, which, says Bryson, "tends to grow slower."

"TV's Slider Arturo's Double or How I learned to TV Slide"
I am one of those actors in Hollywood who haven't quite become are cognizable "name". I am working hard to do that. But on the way I have had many wonderful varied acting jobs through the years here. I am going to tell you about my acting with a wonderful man and actor named John Rhys-Davies. I was his photo double and stand-in for a few projects.
Before going on, I need to establish what a stand-in and photo double does on the set. This is because the public thinks there is very little "acting" talent to this important job. A photo double portrays a double of the "star" in the scenes where the director calls for it. A photo double will be seen on camera during the movie. Some of these "double" scenes can be long wide 'establishing' shots complicated 'over-the-shoulder' dialogue sequences or in quick 'insert' shots. This way the "star" does not need to work the scenes and they can be virtually filming in two scenes at once! The photo double must deliver dialogue and exact actions with the other principle "star" actors to make the scene 'real' since it will be seen in the final cut. On the other hand stand-ins are usually never seen on camera except when they do photo double responsibilities. They have the same body size and hair/skin color of the principle actor cast in the role. This is to aid the D.P. (Director of Photography)and his camera department to light and focus movie scenes in advance of the lead actors and director coming into set for a scene rehearsal. Stand-ins can help in the initial rehearsal process. The film's director will ask stand-ins to deliver dialogue lines) and walk through the scenes to be photographed. In this way a good stand-in and/or photo double can help speed up the day's production.
One of my favorite acting jobs was working with a hero of mine John Rhys-Davies. His most publicly recognizable role was of 'Salla' in the Indiana Jones movies. I first met him by working as his stand-in and photo double on the successful CD-ROM game called "Wing CommanderIV ". In Wing Commander John played the Confederation council leader and retired general called "Paladin." The process of working on a CD-ROM is quite different from working on a movie. Every scene is shot 3 different ways because the game player makes various choices on how each scene should end. Photo doubling John I got a chance to act in 'over-the-shoulder' dialogue scenes with the other cast members Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell. This was a highlight for my career and great money too! A few months later my agent asked me to work again in the same capacity on the Fox network TV show "Sliders" whenthis show came back to Los Angeles from shooting in Vancouver Canada.This is what the fans are now calling the "original" series. The original cast members included Wade, Quinn, Rembrandt, Prof. Arturo and much later Maggie. Working on the show then was very enjoyable because of the cast and crew. We had a family atmosphere. Lot's of fun...Life was great!
Fast forward to Spring '99... I was cast in two fifth season episodes of Sliders. I was looking forward to seeing the friendly cast and crew after some years. Unfortunately I saw that major changes had been made with cast crew story and production values. I was very disappointed. The only person I knew was Cleavant. He welcomed me on board for my workdays. IMHO The crew was more aggressive and production values had been compromised. I worked as a 'day player'.My first fifth season episode was as "Jim" the hot dog vendor. The story line revolved around a high level White House scandal alla 'Monica Gate'. The plot was further complicated by the fact that Slider 'Maggie' coincidentally was a dead ringer for this Lewinsky-like gal at the center of the presidential controversy. During the plot, I supplied the cast with some story points from my job as ahumble street vendor. Some plot ! Haven't you had enough of this in the news? Enjoy and you draw your own conclusions.The next Slider's episode "The Seer" was a bit more interesting and challenging as an actor. It co-stars Roy Dotrice 'Father' of the old TV series "Beauty and The Beast" and Jennifer Hetrich 'Fastch' of the TV series "Star Trek TNG". I was to play an alternative Professor Arturo. The episode's plot was very ingenious. The current Slider cast slides into a world where 'The Sliders' are a hit TV show.Sounds pretty far fetched. huh? 'The Sliders' show and their cast have their own sci-fi fan conventions on this world. We worked on a GREAT scene where the current Sliders arrive on this parralel world land right inthe midst of 'The Sliders' sci-fi TV fan convention. The crowd's reaction to this sliding appearance is priceless! Also it creates some dramatic puzzlement to our fifth season heroes.
You can appreciate that this episode becomes a multi layered plot with many wonderful ironic possibilities and comedic situations. My Slider photo double cast mates including me become the cast of "The Sliders" TV show.Professor Arturo, Quinn, Rembrandt, and Wade and we become TV celebrities. We became the cast and participated in shooting of that "The Sliders" TV show. There is one very dramatic scene sequence shot with us running down a burning ruined city street shooting automatic weapons at the bad guys. To end the scene, myself (Prof. Arturo)meets up with the whole "The Sliders" cast members and a new REAL fifth season cast member, Tembi Locke. I use the hand timer to open the vortex and we all slide out of that temporal reality world. Tembi was wonderful and laughed along with Cleavant at my Prof. Arturo impression when I bellowed in a loud voice "Mr. Mallory!"The 'behind the scenes' explanation that I was told as to why the production company wrote this show was equally unique. The company was constantly getting mailed requests for a 'reunion' show with the original cast and the current cast. And as such the show's writers went to work with this episode's plot. This was their answer to those requests. I thought it was a wonderful and creative solution for the fans requests.
I can tell you I enjoyed playing my part in a story within a story. Not many people can say they have had a chance to temporarily 'slide' on a major sci-fi production.

: Tanaris-US, but willing to transfer if the guild is a good enough fit.
Realm Type
: Normal
Looking to get back into raiding after a few months' break from WoW. The ideal guild for me would have a skilled raiding team whom I get along with, who is ultimately dedicated to progression raiding but is still capable of having fun with it. I had a major skill disparity with most of my old raiding guild as well as a general lack of cohesion, and I'm looking for a guild where that's not an issue.
I am willing to transfer (eventually all three toons) if your guild proves to be a good enough fit. Personality-wise, I can get along with nearly anyone as long as they aren't @#$%^&bags, but to really mesh, we need common ground/interests to talk about or at least a similar objective mindset.
Current availability is Tuesday/Thursday nights, but I'm likely to get a new job soon so that's probably going to change.

The Genetics and Metabolism and Oncology established the Cancer Genetics Clinic to help family members understand their personal risk of developing cancer and to learn more about the risk for their loved ones. Our mission is to identify individuals with a greater likelihood for certain types of cancer and provide early detection and treatment. Ultimately, our goal is to prevent the development of cancer or additional cancers altogether.
Our team is a leader in the recognition and care of patients with newly recognized cancer predisposition syndromes. A person with a cancer predisposition syndrome is at an increased risk to develop cancer sometime in his lifetime. The Cancer Genetics Clinic sees many patients, including:
Joyce Turner, genetic counselor, and Leslie Doros, MD, pediatric oncologist, head the Cancer Genetics Clinic.
Genetics and Metabolism and Oncology also have dedicated clinical geneticists and oncologists available for individuals and families evaluated through the clinic.
Every family's situation is unique and Children's makes time to address individual concerns. The genetic counseling process involves reviewing a family's medical history to better understand the types of cancer and pattern of inheritance in a family, and to determine whether an individual and family may be at risk for cancer predisposition syndrome.
During the genetic counseling session, our specialists educate patients and their family members about the specific cancer syndrome in question, how it is inherited, and who in the family may be at risk. The discussion includes available testing options, explores the pros and cons of testing, and whether testing is the most appropriate course of action for the family. Depending on the medical findings, a consultation may also involve an evaluation by a geneticist.
Families should understand that genetic tests are different from other blood tests. Insurance preauthorization (approval) is usually necessary before testing. Once obtained, the testing process may take a few weeks to a few months, depending on the specific test being performed. When test results become available, a follow-up consultation is scheduled to review the meaning of the results and to develop an appropriate plan of care.

C. Indiana software company faces engineer crunch
COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) - A software company based in central Indiana is going on a 10-city recruiting tour in search of applicants to fill 150 engineering jobs by next spring.
Representatives of Columbus-based LHP Software will start the tour Dec. 8 in Indianapolis, with stops later in Detroit and Minneapolis.
Company president Dave Glass tells The Republic of Columbus that it and similar companies are struggling to find qualified software engineers because the field has relatively few college graduates each year. Glass said LHP had recruiters visit 22 universities in the fall.
The company now has some 200 workers and develops software that it says helps run computers in equipment such as cars, phones and hospital beds.

TVA Receives IEDC Gold Excellence in Economic Development Award
TVA has received a Gold Excellence in Economic Development Award from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) for its Megasites Certification Program. TVA was cited for excellence in the category of "multi-year economic development program for communities with populations of greater than 500,000."
The honor was presented at an awards ceremony October 2 during the IEDC Annual Conference in Houston, Texas. The IEDC is the world's largest independent nonprofit membership and research organization devoted exclusively to the field of economic development.
"We recognize TVA for creating innovative and successful strategies to promote economic development in this period of global recovery," said Jay Moon, IEDC chair. "Our awards honor organizations and individuals for their efforts in creating positive change in communities. TVA demonstrates that they are at the forefront of the economic development profession and are using cutting-edge, effective practices that can be replicated in other communities."
"It is with great satisfaction that we accept this prestigious global recognition on behalf of TVA, our customers and economic development partners," said TVA Senior Vice President of Economic Development John Bradley. "The real winners are the Valley communities who have gained a tremendous number of jobs and investments in the past, and who will continue to benefit into the future as a result of the mega-business success of this Megasites Certification Program."
TVA began to develop the Megasites Certification Program in 2004 when indications were that major international automotive OEMs might be searching in the coming years for new locations in North America, in order to move manufacturing closer to their markets.
This prompted TVA to create a "catalog of certified sites" ready for large manufacturers. Automotive consultant McCallum Sweeney Consulting was chosen by TVA to establish the criteria and administer the program.
Megasites are large parcels of land ready for industrial development. Being "ready" includes at least 1000 contiguous developable acres; utilities in place (or research done as to how much and when the infrastructure can be finished); and completed geo-tech and environmental surveys.
TVA's Megasites program is a phenomenal multi-year community preparedness and "Megabusiness" success. Major company announcements by Severstal, PACCAR, Toyota, VW, and Hemlock Semiconductor are supporting 32,000-plus jobs and more than $5.65 billion in economic impact to the TVA region.
There are two remaining Megasites available for sale in the TVA region, the I-24 Megasite in Hopkinsville-Christian County, Ky., and the Memphis Regional Megasite in west Tennessee. To learn more about these sites, visit www.tvaed.com/megasites.htm.

stay inspired
Apr 25, 2012
Today we just took a few quick snapshots of things that are inspiring us around the building. These are some vintage men's westerns that we love looking at for everything from color to layout to just pretty stacks of them on our desks.
These books are full of inspiration inside and out! On the inside, there are thousands of colors of yarns that we choose carefully and knit into sweaters or tops, and the outside has great patterns that make an eclectic mix of colors and prints that really complement each other in a quirky way.
Here are some old slides we picked up at an antique road show. They hold different species' blood samples (weird!) and we love that, but also how they fit in this special case and make a really great pattern in their formation. With so many creative things in this building, the visual stimulation is endless!
