Our Mission at the Scribbles Institute is to help adults and kids learn basic drawing skills and ways to utilize those skills for work, school, and enjoyment.
Our Goals
- Help students to realize their innate drawing abilities
- Develop each student's drawing skills based on his or her ability level and particular interests
- Help students to transfer their drawing skills to work, school, personal projects
- Guide students in exploring careers that utilize traditional and digital drawing skills
- Keep students drawing on a regular basis
Our Coach
"All my life, I've been fascinated with the ideas and images that spring from the point of my pencil. My lifestyle has always been based on a foundation of drawing skills—live to draw, draw to live! As your coach, I'm here to help you explore, experiment, and express yourself through drawing." —Rob Court, Founder of the Scribbles Institute
Drawing Improves Your World
Drawing is an essential part of a child's learning process. Drawing skills are used to investigate both natural and constructed environments, record observations, solve problems, and express ideas. We passionately advocate the use of drawing in schools. Drawing skills are the foundation of visual art education and help students achieve success in all school subjects—strong art, strong schools!
In an increasingly visual world, adults are finding drawing to be a powerful tool for communicating ideas and solving problems in the workplace. Drawing is also the perfect way to relax and be involved in a gratifying activity away from the job.
Our programs are designed to reconnect students with their thrill of childhood drawing and build confidence in sketching from observation and imagination.
Drawing the Future
More than ever, the world needs innovative ideas. Drawing is integral to the process of generating and conveying bold, useful ideas. At the core of the Scribbles Institute is the desire to stimulate the imaginations of our students and show them ways to apply their drawing skills in everyday life. We take each student's education seriously. We also understand and share the joy drawing brings to intrepid, creative minds.

After years of obstructing efforts to reform public education, the nation's teacher unions are using this week's national education conference in Denver to push for a spirit of "collaboration" among education reformers and teacher unions.
It's too bad that the unions' new-found interest in "working together" has not been reflected in very recent teacher union behavior.
In a recent radio interview, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said, "Let's solve problems for kids rather than making them pawns in an economic austerity budget."
In a recent press release, Weingarten said, "When collaboration trumps conflict, it helps create the conditions for teachers to teach and students to learn."
Such happy talk makes for a good press release, but it does not match reality. Across the nation, teachers unions are attacking reformers and have not resisted the temptation of using children as political pawns.
• Last summer, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis told union members, "When we join forces together with our parents, our students and our communities and fight smart – well, they haven't seen a fight like this. Not in a long time."
•Lewis ramped up the rhetoric at a rally last fall, telling union members, "I'm not wearing earrings because we're in a fight, a real fight."
•United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew attacked New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, saying "It's apparent the mayor shares his definition of democracy with Hosni Mubarak."
•Mulgrew's UFT continues to attack Bloomberg in a new television ad that pits school children against millionaires who need to pay "their fair share." The ad concludes by saying, "This about protecting our kids' future, Mayor Bloomberg."
•This past weekend, members of the Wisconsin Education Association Council picketed outside the home of a state lawmaker who sponsored an education reform bill.
•Last December, Weingarten herself made a public display of solidarity with Central Falls, Rhode Island teachers who were suspected of staging a "sickout" in order to score cheap political points against the local school board. In fact, things are so bad in Central Falls that many high students did not receive a grade during a marking period last fall because the students had not received adequate classroom instruction time.
•In the Rochester City School District, the teacher union passed a "no confidence" vote in the district's superintendent, in hopes of wearing down the superintendent and school board during contentious contract negotiations.
•In a recent letter to union members, Indiana Federation of Teachers President Rick Muir repeatedly refers to the state's education reform efforts as a "war." "Make no mistake about it," Muir writes, "we will lose the war if we sit back and do nothing."
So Weingarten's appeal for "collaboration" with reformers in order to solve problems instead of to win arguments does not match very recent teacher union behavior. It seems more like a clever strategy to hijack the momentum of the reform movement and prevent real change from occurring.
Unions feed off conflict, often pitting teachers against administrators and school board members. Weingarten's poll-tested buzz words don't paper over that fact.
The unions' desire to work with reformers is just a last-ditch attempt to obstruct meaningful education reform. Lawmakers in Idaho, Tennessee, Indiana, New Jersey, Florida, Wisconsin and Ohio, are on the brink of historic education reforms. The teacher unions are fighting for their very survival. That's why they suddenly want to work together.
For decades, the unions defended the status quo in public education. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A 65-year-old woman from Washington is dead after a rollover crash in the Washoe Valley north of Carson City.
Nevada Highway Patrol officials say the woman was killed in the crash about 6 p.m. Monday on alternate U.S. Route 395, near Bowers Mansion. Her name hasn't yet been released.
Trooper Barbara Stapleton says the woman was driving a Volkswagen Jetta south when it crossed over the median, overcorrected and struck an embankment. The Jetta hit a fence and rolled.
The woman was wearing a seatbelt.
No other injuries were reported.

Milchovich, Pacak to meet in Football Classic
TribLIVE Sports Videos
It wasn't that long ago that Andy Pacak and Nick Milchovich went against each other as the football coaches at Monessen and Charleroi, respectively.
The years were 2005 and 2006.
Milchovich came out a winner both times with the Cougars opening the seasons with 25-7 and 22-6 exhibition wins over the cross-river rival Greyhounds.
They'll be on different sides again next month in the 14th annual BeeGraphics Football Classic.
Pacak will be guiding the South with Milchovich, who's now the Peters Township coach, leading the North.
The all-star game, scheduled Saturday, June 19, at Peters Township, isn't a new experience for Milchovich. He had the South team several years ago.
This year's contest will have a newcomer in Belle Vernon Area, which had competed in the disbanded Foothills Classic in previous year.
Representing the Leps on the South will be Spencer Lynn, Tyler Sellew, Cory Williams and Andrew Spate.
Pacak will have two of his own players in Shep Womack and Steve Jarabeck.
Other area gridders on the South include Charleroi's Ray Campbell and Jake Linn, Ringgold's Bill Marnich, California Area's DJ Martinak and Brad Tonini and Elizabeth Forward's Greg Sotereanos, Josh Pomilio and Riley Kern.
Bentworth has three players on the North, including Ben Gregg, George Morrell and Colton Korpus.
The teams will start practicing Sunday, June 13, with the South at the new California High field and the North at Peters Township.
Bill Ellis is serving as game director.
n Add football: New Yough coach Mark Crovak, who was hired last month after Jim Ward left to take the post at McKeesport, has put together his first staff.
His assistants include Jason Stewart (offensive coordinator), Jay Kunselman (defensive coordinatopr), Tony Luciow (running backs and defensive line) and Marko Thomas (receivers and defensive backs).
• More high school football: Blocking and tackling sleds are now okay to use for offseason workouts.
That was the word from Chambersburg Thursday at the PIAA Board of Control meeting.
It was a month ago that helmets and shoulder pads in offseason workouts and seven-on-seven competitions received the green light.
• Linda Kalafatis, the former California University softball coach, had another successful season at Ohio State.
Her Buckeyes went 39-14 with the campaign ending with a 7-0 loss to No. 11 California (44-17) on the final day of the regional championship at Columbis, Ohio.
Kalafatis has compiled an oerall 493-298 record and won 30or more games in 10 of her 14 seasons at Ohio State.
Before going to Columbus, Kalafatis was 175-53-1 in five seasons at Cal with five PSAC titles.

DEAR CAROLYN: My husband and I are looking to move out to the country and grow our food, and have chickens, goats and ducks once we learn what we're doing. He's incredibly excited and has started planning things like how he'll raise crickets to feed to the fish and then the fish will fertilize the garden and we can feed garden scraps to the crickets (and worms, which we already raise) – and while I don't begrudge him his planning and excitement, he also has a job where he is away for three months at a time.
I don't want to have crickets as pets while he's away and have to take care of everything myself. He got upset and said I can't tell him what he can and can't do.
I agree with that to a point, but at the same time I feel like marriage is a compromise. I'm already willing to take care of goats and maybe fish – and that's pushing it for me, since I'm not exactly a farm girl. At what point do I have to back off because it's his homestead, too? (I swear this is a serious question!)
– Feeling A Little Chicken
DEAR CHICKEN: At what point does he have to back off because it's your homestead, too?
He can't tell you what you can and can't do – including weed the crickets or fish for goats (third-generation suburban homesteader here) while he spends three months on the road.
Both of you know this, which is one of two red flags unfurling in your letter: When he pulled his petulant you-can't-make-me!!! stuff, why didn't you call him, in the warmest of ways, on the fertilizer in his logic? Why did you instead wonder whether you're wrong and he's right?
Pardon the phrasing, but you sound cowed by him. Red Flag No. 1.
The second one is that your marriage has left the "ours" phase and entered "mine" vs. "yours." That means a true resolution to the animal-care matter will require attention to the give-and-take balance within your marriage. Yes, a strong marriage must be flexible enough to accommodate the evolving interests of its members – but that's not the same as saying the marriage needs to provide compulsory farm labor to the member who decides to become a farmer.
If you and he can talk about it calmly, then please discuss this crucial distinction; if not, then suggest taking it to marriage counseling. Use your veto power here.
In the meantime, I hope you and he both are spending a great deal of time talking to people who have experience wrangling more than worms. You will have lives in your hands, and you have a moral obligation to take responsibility for no more lives than you're capable of sustaining.

The National Map
This document provides an overview of The National Map Viewer platform and highlights a few of the primary tool areas users will most likely want to interact.
Base maps provide a visualization background for a variety of uses. Currently, the viewer includes the following base maps:
The Topo, Imagery and ImageryTopo base maps are new composite base maps available in the viewer by clicking the corresponding base map buttons. These can also be added as standalone map services that can be used in other applications via the following service URLs:
See the Service List for a listing of dynamic and cached map service endpoints used by The National Map.
For more information see: 3.0 TNM Base Maps.
The Search box serves two purposes. Enter a street address, feature name, or coordinates into the input box and click the Search button to locate a Place of Interest (POI). Or, enter a map service URL into the input box and click the Search button to add map content to the existing map display.
NOTE: The current search behavior is to only "Zoom To" the result if only one result exists or the results are all contained within the current view. It may be best to zoom to the full extent when search results are expected to be outside the current view extent.
Added map content will be found under the User Added Content panel within the Overlays-Content tab.
For more information see: 6.0 TNM Searching.
The National Map is transitioning to a staged product download capability. When this transition is complete, users will have more immediate access to available products without having to wait for backend services to generate and package their order. In addition, the government will reduce the backend services currently required to provide these dynamic custom downloads for every user. This transition is scheduled to be completed around the end of the 2013 calendar year.
The download process is initiated by clicking the download icon.
This brings up a dialog with different options for selecting the download area of interest.
Options include:
Red text in the dialog indicates the option is not available at the current scale and provides 'Click here' links to zoom to the appropriate scale.
Once the area of interest has been defined, the next dialog allows selection from the following product themes:
Grayed boxes indicate a product that is not available for the current area of interest and a smaller area should be selected in the previous step to make these products available.
Select the desired themes and click the Next button to obtain a list of products.
The Product Selection dialog provides a listing of the available products for the provided area of interest.
Products are grouped by product theme type under separate panels which must be opened to see the list of products. In the example dialog, at right, note the following product group labels:
Clicking on each product group label opens up the corresponding listing of products for that theme.
Basic information is provided in the listing to distinguish between products.
Full metadata is available by clicking on the Metadata icon.
Select the checkboxes beside the desired products you want to order.
When you have selected all the products you are interested in. Click the Next button to add these products to the cart.
The cart process is provided to organize a group of product downloads together for easier user management. Items can be removed from the cart individually or all together at one time by clearing the cart.
Clicking the Checkout button submits the order.
The user will then be prompted for an email address before being allowed to click the Place Order button. Confirmation that the order request has been received will be provided along with an Order ID for tracking the order.
An email will be sent upon completion of the order process indicating products are ready for download.
The Overlays panel allows users to select specific data content to visualize and reorder on the map.
Available data layers are grouped under the following panels:
The Overlays tab consists of two sub-tabs: Content and Reorder Layers. When the Overlays tab is expanded, the Content sub-tab is active by default. This is where you can choose which data layers you would like to visualize on your map in The National Map Viewer. The Content sub-tab contains panels that group data thematically.
The Reorder Layers sub-tab allows you to change the order in which layers are displayed on the map viewer. You can move layers up and down within the reorder list. This upward and downward movement changes the visibility of map layers on the map display. A layer higher in the list will draw on top of lower layers. All layers that are loaded during the current National Map Viewer session are added to the Layer List. If the layer has been loaded, but is not currently visible, it is grayed out and marked as hidden in the Layer List.
The User Added Content panel contains data layers that you have added to the map as well as any annotation features you have drawn on the map. Layers can be added to the map using the Add Data tool or the Search field.
The Favorites panel contains layers that have been marked as favorites by a user because he/she frequently accesses them. These layers are grouped in the Favorites panel so that the user doesn't have to search through the accordion panes to find the layers he/she wants to access. Highlight the star next to a layer in the Content sub-tab to mark it as a favorite.
A Shortcut Menu is available for each layer and contains helpful tools for working with layers. Tools available in this menu include Zoom To Initial Extent, Zoom To Full Extent, Zoom to Visible Scale, Transparency, Delete, Edit Symbol, Move Annotation, Reshape Annotation, Map Service Metadata, Filter, Select All Layers, Deselect All Layers, View In and Download Layer. However, not all tools are available to use on every layer. Tools that are not available to use on the desired layer will appear grayed out and marked as hidden. To access the Shortcut Menu click the down-arrow next to the desired layer name.

about me
I'm no masterchef but I've got some recipe to cook up fun and put a smile on your face
G'day. I'm a caring easy-going guy who'd like to put a smile on your face.
I like to be active and take any opportunity to get out with friends. I also like to keep fit. I currently play badminton and some other socialising sports. Even just a nice walk on a pleasant afternoon would be good.
I'm a bit of a shop-aholic and so the shops are another place you'll find me. That's why I love Thursday nights and I often make use of Saturdays in a similar way. I'm not a great cook so if you like to cook that would be a benefit.
I have a passion for travel - air, sea or land. My last trip was a cruise to NZ. All the activities on the ship were great as were my experiences in Christchurch. I also love to drive. So if you like to trek by road, whether it's just around town or far along the coast, I'm happy to drive you. I haven't done much air travel lately so I'm waiting for someone to show me somewhere good to go. I'd like to take someone with me. So if you're a nice girl (preferably a brunette with a nice smile and a south European or Asian accent), send me a kiss as I'd like to enjoy my time with you.
I like my job and am happy with life. I work hard but make sure I keep everything balanced and keep some time for myself and friends. I've got pretty much everything I need, except for that special someone to share it all with, someone who will share their life with me too. You have to be honest, fun, have similar interests to me though it will be good if you have new things to show me too. You have to let me hold your hand and let me share my love and passion with you.

David Banks (Gold) and Paul Smith (Blue) wrapped up the first series of fights for this season. If somebody won by decision, they needed to have done so by at least 12 points.
Round 1: Banks got off to a strong start and dominated most of the round. I scored this round 10-9 in his favor.
Round 2: Smith had a solid start, although one of his shots came close to being a low blow. Late in the round, Banks caught Smith with a strong shot to the jaw that nearly knocked him down, and then a similar shot a few seconds later. Because I felt Banks' shots were stronger in the round, I scored this round in his favor, and he led 20-18 on my scorecard.
Round 3: It was a lackluster round. I gave Banks another round because of his flurry of shots with only a few seconds left in the round, so he led 30-27.
Round 4: Smith only had a slight advantage midway through the round, but Banks took control with a good jaw shot. 40-36 Banks after four.
Smith needed a final round KO...he didn't get it.
I had it a shutout for Banks, 50-45. However, it was a split decision from the judges.
The first judge had it 48-47...Smith.
The second judge scored it 49-46....Banks.
The last judge scored it 48-47 for....
...Smith, so I blew it and Smith pulled out the win! However, unless somebody in the top four gets injured, he's out of the tournament for now.

There's a gaping hole in Google's third party ad serving roster: Atlas, a product of Microsoft-owned aQuantive.
Agencies have long complained about Google's closed approach to other ad systems, but now the search giant will accept ad tags from third parties. Opening the system could help Google attract more brand ad dollars in its battle against Yahoo, AOL's Advertising.com and others. But there's one gaping hole in Google's third party ad serving roster: Atlas, a product of aQuantive, owned by rival Microsoft.
Advertisers that run ads through Google's AdSense content network in North America now can serve them through Google's DoubleClick system, as well as Valueclick's Mediaplex platform. The AdSense network also enables tags from rich media ad firms Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Interpolls, PointRoll and Unicast, and from research firms Dynamic Logic, IAG Research, InsightExpress, and Factor TG.
Although Google's list of accepted tags includes the big players in rich media and online ad research, "The ad serving looks a little light because it doesn't have Atlas," said Eric Frenchman, chief Internet strategist for consulting firm Connell Donatelli. Still, he thinks it will make things easier for advertisers and agencies when it comes to campaign optimization and reporting. "I think it's actually good news," he said.
"Google is actively working with Atlas as a potential certification partner," Senior Business Product Manager Rajas Moonka told ClickZ News.
Andreas Roell, president and CEO of agency Geary Interactive said the Google announcement is "a step in the right direction," and sees promise in the new ability to run all sorts of rich media creative. "But the proof comes in how it's actually being executed," he continued.
Until today, ads served by Google on other publishers' sites have been text-based units or standard display formats, limiting advertisers' ability to take advantage of more interactive ad options when buying through Google. The restrictive system also prevented advertisers from employing tracking, reporting and research technologies they had grown accustomed to using when buying on sites like MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and ad networks.
Jupiter Research Senior Analyst Emily Riley believes the decision has its roots in Google's DoubleClick purchase. It behooved Google to accept ad tags from its own service, particularly when it comes to data-related possibilities, she said.
"I think from Google's perspective, it's really going to be about the data they can glean." Although Google won't store the data associated with those outside tags, Riley suggested, "it would enable them to offer new things to their clients because the data can all be consolidated," said Riley, noting things like behavioral targeting might now be available. "It's good for Google to have display data connected to search data�. They get a larger piece of the pie from a top down campaign perspective."
Google's Moonka called the change "a foundational element to our display strategy," hinting new ad capabilities could be enabled in the future as a result of the system exposure.
Some advertisers, especially brand advertisers and their agencies, have disregarded Google AdSense because it was inefficient for them to maintain a separate report from Google. In the past, Geary Interactive's Roell hesitated to run AdSense campaigns because the need to use different platforms caused headaches. His use of Google in conjunction with third party systems depends on how easy it is to implement technically, he said. For instance, additional coding or incompatible reporting could be deterrents.
As Google has pushed for more brand ad dollars in its battle against Yahoo, AOL's Advertising.com and others, insisting on a closed system seemed shortsighted to some. Google last year told ClickZ News in order to assure an optimum experience for users, advertisers and publishers, it "serves all ads that run on Google.com and the Google content and search advertising networks. We allow for third-party click-tracking, but not serving at this time."
Outside ad tags weren't accepted in the past because the company wasn't able to review the ads for compliance. Now Google said it can ensure that ads associated with certified vendors meet its standards.
In addition to appeasing advertiser demand for more optimization and reporting efficiency, Google could benefit from accepting third party tags. According to Moonka, Google "has a history of only getting credit for click conversions." Now we "can compare ourselves more on an apples-to-apples basis to other ad buys." For instance, advertisers can now learn when a Google ad leads to conversion not associated with immediate click-through, something measured by DoubleClick's view-through metric. Or, brand advertisers "can measure on brand effectiveness metrics," added Moonka.
"[Google is] extending an olive branch to brand focused advertisers for once," said Riley.
Roell sees Google's decision as a strategic one. "Google realizes, more from a business strategy standpoint, they can't play on their own anymore," he said.

Election update
The filling date for the Nov. 5 city elections has closed, but residents can still file as declared write-in candidates until Oct. 10.
To be a declared a write-in candidate, residents must file their intent as a write-in with the county elections office.
A declared candidates name will not appear on the ballot, but should his or her name be written in on the election ballot, the vote will be counted before that of a random write-in.
Residents can file as declared write-ins for any of the city positions on the ballot this fall.
Ballots will be mailed Oct. 16.
Of the three candidates for mayor, Mike Witsoe said this week that hes unsure whether hell stay in the race citing health reasons. He recently spent a few days in the Cascade County Detention Center over charges stemming from a traffic stop in October 2012, according to the City Attorneys office.
He said Wednesday that he hasnt withdrawn his name from the race against the incumbent Michael Winters and challenger Aaron Pursell, but he is not actively campaigning.
Neal DuBois considered running for City Commission during the last election cycle but was just a year into starting his own law firm.
But now, three years into his law practice, the 33-year-old newlywed owns a home in Great Falls and has decided its time to run for a four-year seat.
I think I can contribute, DuBois said.
DuBois said hes a third-generation Great Falls native. When his family relocated for a time, he dropped out of high school. But when he came back to Great Falls, he attended community college, then completed his bachelors in political science at the University of Nevada-Reno, went to law school at the University of Montana and opened his own law practice in August 2010.
I went out on my own very early, DuBois said.
The Great Falls community has supported his business, and businesses run by his family and friends, fueling his desire to participate in city government, DuBois said.
With family in town, a good year at the law firm and a new wife, DuBois said he plans to stay in Great Falls.
This is my home, he said. Great Falls wrongfully gets a bad rap. But this is where I want to be, to make it better, keep improving.
Theres value in having a variety of perspectives on the commission, DuBois said, but right now, he sees a disconnect between the older and younger generations.
I dont think our opinions are adequately represented, he said.
According to DuBois, several of the regular meeting-goers have stopped by to talk to him about their concerns for the city.
He wants to be open and accessible, if elected Nov. 5.
A byproduct of higher education, he said, is the realization that, I dont know everything.
He wants to increase public participation and engage with residents as he makes decisions.
People have a lot to contribute, he said.
DuBois spent a year working in the city attorneys office and has since represented the city as outside counsel on a zoning issue. He also served as a substitute city court judge and said he has an understanding of city operations.
In dealing with people who might be upset or unhappy with an issue before the commission, he said he would listen and treat everybody kindly.
An attribute of his career field, is that I can see past the argument and see the point theyre trying to make.
DuBois said hed like to contribute to intelligent debate on the commission and explain his rationale for decisions.
Youre a public decision-maker, he said. If theres an issue that needs more time then certainly we need to give it.
But instead of making new decorum rules, DuBois said hed prefer to enforce the existing rules and be rational about issues.
I think everybody has experience and ideas that I might have, he said. If theyre not going to treat us with respect and do disrespectful things, theres already rules to take care of that.
To him, a top budget priority is public safety. He said police and fire need to be strongly and fully funded. Deficiencies in public safety could lead to more crime and other problems for the city, he said.
His next priority is city staff.
Weve made commitments to them. Id hate to cut jobs, he said, based on the city managers prediction that next years budget could be tighter than the current budget.
Being business friendly and continually trying to improve the city will expand the tax base, he said. Hed rather not look at selling parkland or closing city pools unless all other options have been exhausted, he said.
I dont want to be shortsighted, he said.
DuBois said that if elected, hes also rely on department heads and city staff for their expertise and direct involvement with city business.
Thats why we hire them, he said. We need to use these guys.

The Summit Scene
Dear Valued Guest of the Summit Resort Hotel,
On the lovely little island of St. Maarten, this time of year brings a slower pace and less traffic but still offers many activities to enjoy. Come, relax and unwind at The Summit Resort Hotel!
Summer activities at the Summit!
During the summer at the Summit Resort Hotel, life is slower, quieter and calmer than most other seasons. And while most of our summertime guests may come specifically to relax and unwind, others may find they'd like a little more action and excitement.
For this reason, the Summit Resort Hotel's Tropical Heaven restaurant offers entertaining activities most days of the week:
Sunday: All-you-can-eat barbeque buffet from 12-3:30 p.m. for $13.95.Monday: Steel pan music, free rum punch and snacks at the pool deck from 6-7 p.m. Members of the TradeWinds Cruise Club will be on hand to visit and answer your questions.Tuesday: BINGO at 6 p.m. with prizes ranging from jewelry to a certificate for dinner.Wednesday: A free bus shopping trip to Phillipsburg leaving at 11 a.m.Thursday: The ever-popular karaoke jam-where everyone is a singer, especially after a delicious drink (or two).
We've got other great ideas for activities as well, so feel free to come to the front desk and ask us for a recommendation!
By land or by sea? How about by yacht?
The Summit Resort Hotel has now teamed up with theTradewinds Cruise Club to offer our guests an opportunity to see St. Maarten and the surrounding islands in a wonderful new and unique way...by yacht!
Tradewinds, another RCI Gold Crown exchange partner, offers luxury crewed catamaran cruising on yachts in a variety of sizes from 41-70 feet. The guests of TradeWinds will be treated to their signature hospitality, including a personal chef and professional staff, making sailing around the world both exotic and wonderfully comfortable. Activities offered by TradeWinds include diving and snorkeling. Visit theirwebsite and feel the ocean breeze in your hair and the invigorating feel of pure freedom.
The Legendary Ms. Mena
At the Summit Resort Hotel in St. Maarten, one special employee holds the hearts of all the staff, as well as many of the guests, especially those who've returned year after year.
Her name is Ms. Mena, and she has been Head of Housekeeping at the Summit Hotel since it opened in 1973. Ms. Mena met her first husband here, and subsequently had three of her children with him, one of whom, Evans, is presently General Manager of the Summit Hotel.
Ms. Mena is the longest-serving employee of the Summit, and at 70 years old, still runs the Housekeeping Department and helps to maintain the gardens.
Ms. Mena is beloved for her warm smile and the wonderful hugs she bestows on the guests, especially those who've returned over the years, and look for her eagerly upon arrival. We salute you, Ms. Mena!
If you've been looking for a great place to vacation, look no further. St. Maarten is the heart of the Caribbean. Call or email us for details and reservations. See you in the sun.

Having known Phil Hemingway now for eight-plus years, I can speak confidently that I know something about his character. He is as honest as the day is long. What you see is what you get. He will tell you the truth, even if it is not what you want to hear.
Hemingway's principled beliefs are a model for any school member to follow, they include:
? The district should be transparent in its dealings.
? Financial solvency always should be a top consideration.
? The board and district should be accountable to the community.
? Neighborhood schools should be a priority. This means not closing Hoover and stop threatening to close Lincoln, Mann and Hills.
Few current candidates can come close to matching Hemingway's record of involvement in attending School Board meetings and voicing their opinion.

The book you're waiting for...

That book you put together sounds like it could have been a fan´s dream come true. You say it was your proposal for "The Art of Star Trek" - how were you involved with that project?
In 1989 I sent a very brief unsolicited proposal to Pocket, which was never acknowledged in any way. By the end of 1991, I had started selling my writing, and had written an extensive article on TUC's VFX. At that time, I talked with an ILM guy, plus TUC producer Jaffe, about my idea for the book, which had by then become a about 30 pages of notes. Jaffe gave me a contact at Paramount named Paula and wrote up a nice intro, and she in turn told me to contact Kevin Ryan at Pocket. (the guy who edited the trek magazine back then also was in some of this correspondence, as I was hoping to sell a hunk of my article -- a couple thousand unused words -- for publication there.)
Anyway, had a brief conversation with Ryan, who said he hadn't heard of this idea before, and to send a proposal to him.
I spent the next couple months carving up all those books I referenced earlier and building that big-ass proposal. I mailed it with all the necessary 'solicited proposal' wordage scrawled on the package (which was huge) ... and never heard another word. Sent 4 or 5 letters over the next year, w/o any acknowledgement, and then when I read about THE ART OF STAR TREK a couple years later being done by the Reeves-Stevenses, I was pretty righteously pissed off. I called and left phone messages on Ryan's number, and eventually, the one time somebody picked up the phone, it was John Ordover, who had inherited Ryan's number. He seemed a nice enough guy, but had no info on any of this (since then, we have actually had exchanges on this subject on this BBS, about 10 years back.)
The editor of the mag I was still freelancing for told me to not try any legal stuff because it would just make me persona non grata as a writer for a lot of other parties (the subtext was it would make me persona non grata for his magazine, which at that point was I think my sole source of income.) So I let it go, and the last nail on the chalkboard was when a friend saw the book in stores and called me to ask, 'hey, the book is dedicated to Kevin -- is this some kind of dig at you?' I told him I was sure the Kevin in question was Kevin Ryan.
Believe me, there is NOTHING of my proposal in their published version. I loved PRIME DIRECTIVE and a few other early novels of the Reeves-Stevenses, but based on this and their MAKING OF DS9 book and especially their PHASE TWO book -- which has some real howlers, like a caption showing the full VGER craft that identifies it as a rejected design concept ... I'd list more, but I don't have a copy), TREK NonFic isn't their strong suite (to their credit, that CONTINUING MISSION book was pretty good, and had a lot fewer errors.) They used maybe 20 of the same pics I had in my proposal, but that's coincidence. There's more text in my proposal than in their whole book.

Peru Volunteer Program: Accommodations/Meals/Field Support
In Global Crossroad's volunteer in Peru program, weekly fees include management of volunteers' meal plans and accommodations throughout projects and travel options. Three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) will be provided and will consist of local ingredients and feature traditional cuisine choices for Peru. Our meal program can accommodate vegetarian needs; however, we are not able to provide for other dietary restrictions. Food and drinks outside of meal times are the volunteer's responsibility. In most cases, there are restaurants and markets nearby the homes in which our volunteers stay.
Volunteers in Peru working in Cusco stay with well-screened and respected host family or in a hostel. Each host family is socially respected and already has experience hosting international volunteers. Host families offer a safe home and shared bathroom facilities with running water and a "western" style toilet. Volunteers can to do their own laundry at the house or the host family may offer to wash it for a small fee. Your host family will prepare three meals a day for you that are typical to Peru. If you will be out of the house during lunch, you can ask your host family for a to-go lunch or eat out on your own. Host families prepare meals that are traditional to Peru. Volunteers in Peru working in Manu will either live with a host family or in volunteer bungalows with indoor western-style bathroom and a shared kitchen and living space.
A unique and important part of volunteer work in Peru is our in-country support provided to the volunteers. We put safety and comfort first as we deliver enriching and consistent experiences for our international travelers. Our support is multi-faceted while volunteers are in Peru and our staff is in contact with our volunteers on a regular basis either with face-to-face visits or via phone/email. Key support comes from our country coordinator and in-country field staff. These individuals are employed by our company and committed to ensuring your experience the best it can be. Your chosen project staff and host family offers support as well, and they are familiar with working with international volunteers and accustomed to answering questions and providing guidance. Volunteers also have access to our country coordinator's mobile number for emergencies. With longer assignments, our field staff visits regularly (every 2-4 weeks) to ensure the experience is meeting your expectations. Sometimes an assignment may be too far to visit physically, so staff members will touch-base via phone/email. You are also welcome to stop in the offices at any time. You are never alone.

LITTLE ROCK, AR -- Vets say they've had enough. They're tired of living in in third-world conditions -- in the country they fought for.
The Arkansas Veterans Home is where about 40 of them live -- where decades-old pipes flood the building, and maintenance crews have to strain the grease from pipes to prevent clogging.
"It's shameful that we won't take care of a generation who laid everything on the line for this country, this state, and are by nature, quiet," Mike Hampton, a member of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, said.
Hampton helped to coordinate the rally, asking state leaders why they ignored maintenance issues. Now they're so bad, the building has to close.
Residents understand the conditions, but they don't want to leave.
"I was around the people I wanted to be around. I was around veterans, those who spoke my language. I was happy with that," said James Sanders, a resident.
So now, the vets have a choice of a facility in Fayetteville, an assisted-living center or the home of a relative.
"Now is not really time to point the finger. It's time to right the wrong and to get these veterans into facilities they deserve to be in and look to future and decide what's best for the veterans of Arkansas," Kendall Thornton said.
But veterans say it should not have gotten to this point.
"Our troops deserve a better place to fight their final battles," a veteran said, supported by a thunderous applause.

Windows 7's resampling sucks, How can it be improved?

Playback over WASAPI must match the sample rate of the output device. Thus applications must supply their own resampling if the playback rate does not match. Most applications don't do this but just employ MME or DirectSound, which provide transparent resampling for non-matching rates.
Since some of my content is 44.1 kHz and some 48 kHz I used to set the output rate to 192 kHz so that all audio had to be upsampled. With good software resampling and a cheap onboard codec this could, in theory, even improve the overall result. But the opposite was true. Today I couldn't longer ignore the impression that the resampled output sounded somewhat muffled and did some measurements.
You can view the result here. The upsampled output (44.1 -> 192 kHz) suffers from quite a HF roll-off in comparison to pure 44.1 kHz output.
In Windows XP the SRC quality could be adjusted. I can't find anything comparable in Windows 7. Does anyone know more?

Are you telling me that when I have set 24bits 96Khz in Sounds, and use Wasapi output in foobar2000 to play a 44Khz file, the wasapi driver in foobar is doing its own resampling to 96Khz without me knowing it?
The post you gave is from 2005, and as it can be read in it, not even beta 2 of Windows Vista was released. Also, it is not explicit if he was talking about Wasapi in general, or specifically about exclusive mode. (Or even if exclusive mode was the only mode that was to be made available at that time)
Oh, and btw, i know what WASAPI exclusive mode is. I'm developing an output driver for my application which uses that.
I still don't understand how did you do that.
Win 192 -> analog(?) -> OSX 96Khz -> something -> RMAA 44Khz
Win 44 -> analog(?) -> OSX 96Khz -> something -> RMAA 44Khz
The difference is at most 2dB, where it matters,So... where it matters is at 18Khz? If you say so...
