To those of us who are not mathematicians or physicists, Einstein's theory of relativity often seems incomprehensible, exotic, and of little real-world use. None of this is true. Daniel F. Styer's introduction to the topic not only shows us why these beliefs are mistaken but also shines a bright light on the subject so that any curious-minded person with an understanding of algebra and geometry can both grasp and apply the theory.
Styer starts off slowly and proceeds carefully, explaining the concepts undergirding relativity in language comprehensible to nonscientists yet precise and accurate enough to satisfy the most demanding professional. He demonstrates how the theory applies to various real-life situations with easy equations and simple, clear diagrams. Styer's classroom-tested method of conveying the core ideas of relativitythe relationship among and between time, space, and motion and the behavior of lightencourages questions and shows the way to finding the answers. Each of the book's four parts builds on the sections that come before, leading the reader by turn through an overview of foundational ideas such as frames of reference, revelatory examples of time dilation and its attendant principles, an example-based exploration of relativity, and explanations of how and why gravity and spacetime are linked. By demonstrating relativity with practical applications, Styer teaches us to truly understand and appreciate its importance, beauty, and usefulness.
Featuring worked and end-of-chapter problems and illustrated, nontechnical explanations of core concepts, while dotted throughout with questions and answers, puzzles, and paradoxes, Relativity for the Questioning Mind is an enjoyable-to-read, complete, concise introduction to one of the most important scientific theories yet discovered. The appendixes provide helpful hints, basic answers to the sample problems, and materials to stimulate further exploration.

Baseball Colts Earn Post Season Awards
Thursday, June 4th, 2015
Members of the 2015 SUNY Orange Baseball Team were recognized for their accomplishment at both the Regional and Conference levels. First baseman David Leiter (Valley Central) and catcher Jonathan Lindau (Pine Bush) were voted second team All-Region XV. Leiter was also named the Region XV Defensive player of the year. The 2015 All Mid-Hudson Conference team included Leiter on the first team and SS Schuyler Martire (Pine Bush) on the second. Congratulations to all!
Bartolone Named MHC Athlete of Week
Tuesday, April 21st, 2015
Freshman Mike Bartolone, a Cornwall H.S. grad, was named the Mid Hudson Conference Athlete of the Week for the week of April 12. Bartolone is a 6'4" slick fielding third baseman who bats third in the lineup for the SUNY Orange Baseball team. Bartolone batted .550 for the week going 11 for 20 at the plate. He also tallied 7 walks, scored 11 runs and had 5 RBI's. Mike's strong play helped Orange to their first MHC series win of the season. Orange took 3 of 4 from Rockland County Community College to climb into a tie for second place in the wins column in the conference standings.
Colts Three Game Win Streak Leads To Series Win
Monday, April 20th, 2015
Middletown, NY - The SUNY Orange Baseball team has been looking for its breakout moment of the 2015 season. They may have found it by taking the final 3 games of their Mid-Hudson Conference series with the Rockland Community College Hawks. Orange's 3 game winning streak moves the Colts to .500 in Mid-Hudson Conference play and keeps them in the hunt for a top seed heading into the Region 15 Division 2 tournament at Cantine Field in Saugerties, NY.
Orange's offense started the ball rolling on Friday afternoon. The Colts exploded for 20 runs in a 20-13 victory. Orange picked up a huge spark from Gunnar Barr who was thrust into the lead off and short stop roles for the first time this season after an injury to stalwart Schuyler Martire. Barr had 4 hits from the lead-off spot and scored 4 runs. Third baseman Mike Bartolone also had a monster day picking up 4 hits, scoring 4 runs and driving in 3. Jonathon Lindau, Peter Fuentes, and Tom Brusca had 3 hits apiece for the hot swinging Colts. Brusca also tallied 3 stolen bases on the day. On the mound, a trio of pitchers were able to keep Orange in control. Will Ortiz, Josh Rivera, and Dave Sicina all contributed to the winning effort.
Orange's series with Rockland concluded with a double header sweep on Sunday. Kevin Crawford pitched a gem in the opener. Crawford scattered 6 hits over 5 innings and gave up only 2 runs as Orange won the first game 7-2. Aaron Costello came in for the final 5 outs and slammed the door shut on the Hawks. Orange was led at the plate by their two catchers. Jonathon Lindau and James Daidone, who DH'd this game, are both having great seasons for the Colts. They each drove in 2 runs and Lindau also picked up 2 hits and a walk. The day's second game ended in drama as Orange had to wait until the bottom of the 8th and a walk off ground rule double by David Leiter to get the win. Orange was trailing 7-3 entering the bottom of the seventh inning. Orange scraped across one run and then had the bases loaded for Orange catcher James Daidone. Daidone smashed a line drive to left field that went to the fence. The hit cleared the bases and tied the game. Daidone was thrown out at third trying to stretch his double to a triple, but the game was tied. Even after his head first slide into third, Daidone's always impressive head of hair was still perfect. In the bottom of the eighth Orange once again had the bases loaded with Veteran first baseman David Leiter at the plate. Leiter hit a bomb to left field that bounced once and popped over the fence. Orange won the game 9-7 off of a walk off ground rule double. Nick Pacifico pitched well for Orange scattering 4 runs over 5 innings. Dan McNamara picked up the win for the Colts.
Orange plays a non league game at County College of Morris on Tuesday then continues conference play with their penultimate series of the season against Sullivan. Orange is home at 3:30 on Thursday and Friday and travels to Sullivan for a double header on Saturday.
Orange Sweep Forces Split with Dutchess
Sunday, April 5th, 2015
After dropping the first two games of their Mid-Hudson Conference series against the Dutchess Falcons, the SUNY Orange Colts rebounded strongly on Saturday to win both games of a wind-blown double header. Orange won the first game 2-1 in 9 innings and the nightcap, which was rescheduled from the previous day, 11-6 in 7 innings.
Orange was able to force the series split with very strong performances from a quartet of freshmen hurlers on the mound Saturday. In the opener Nick Pacifico (Wallkill H.S) gave up just 1 run in 8 innings. Pacifico struck out 7 and gave the bullpen a much needed rest. Dan Mcnamara (Pine Bush H.S.) entered the 1-1 game in the ninth and recorded a scoreless inning to pick up the win. In the series finale, Dave Sicina (Port Jervis H.S.) went 4 2/3 innings. Sicina was in command of his pitches and gave up no walks. Aaron Costello (Middletown H.S.) was dominant in relief giving up no hits in 2 1/3 inning of relief.
While Orange's stingy defense led the way in the first game, it did receive some timely hitting. David Leiter (Valley Central H.S.) had a hit and scored the game winning run while James Daidone (Valley Central H.S.) had a run scored and picked up the game winning rbi. In the second game the Colts offense came alive. The team picked up 11 runs on 12 base hits. Orange had two players pick up multiple hits, rbi, and runs scored. Leiter was again key in the second game. He had a hit, 3 rbi, 2 runs scored and 3 stolen bases. Brian Guzman (Pine Bush H.S.) was 3 for 5 with 2 rbi and 2 runs scored. He also had a stolen base. Orange tallied 8 stolen bases in the night cap. Orange also received excellent contributions from Mike Bartolone (Cornwall H.S.) with 3 hits, 2 rbi and a run scored and Jonathon Lindau with 2 hits, 1 rbi, and 2 runs scored. Shawn Talmadge's (Minisink Valley H.S.) flying leap to catch a line drive hit in the gap in left center to end the 6th inning was the defensive highlight of the day. Shawn's teammates all met him by third base as he was coming off the field to let him know what a great play it was.
Orange moves to 4-7 on the season. They resume play Tuesday, April 7, with a game against Sussex CC at Skylands Park in Augusta NJ. Game time is 7:00 p.m. Orange continues Mid Hudson Conference play with a key series against Westchester starting Thursday at Westchester.
Colts More Than Ready to Start the 2015 Season
Wednesday, March 18th, 2015
After a long winter, the SUNY Orange Colts baseball team is set to open their season this weekend on their annual spring trip to North Carolina. The Colts play a challenging schedule including many teams that are traditional powers. The 2015 Colts look to continue their successes of recent years by competing for a Conference and Regional Championship. Last year, the Colts finished second in the region to NJCAA World Series participant, Westchester CC. The Colts return eleven players from last years squad and welcome a strong freshman recruiting class. Coach Wayne Smith is optimistic about the season, and can't wait for the weather to cooperate. "We have a very good everyday line up with good bench depth. We have more speed than the last couple of years, and I like the way this team competes. Pitching-wise, I believe that we have a solid, competitive staff with pretty defined roles. The biggest strengths of this group will be their consistent everyday effort and how well they work as a team. I really look forward to this spring." The Colts open Sunday with a Doubleheader vs. Craven CC.
Second Half Surge Takes Colts to Title Game
Monday, May 5th, 2014
Middletown, NY - Every year the SUNY Orange Colts Baseball team starts its season down south. While Orange is playing their first games of the year, their opponents are in mid-season form with having well over 20 games under their belts. In the short term this usually leads to a frustrating start to the Orange season. Playing these experienced, battle tested teams can however, pay off down the road. The Colts 1-8 start was no way indicative of how competitive the team would be once they returned north for conference play.
In Region XV play Orange split their first two series with Dutchess and Westchester. A tough series with Rockland left the Colts at 5-7 in the Region and needing a spark. Orange then caught fire and swept Sullivan Community College in their next series 4-0. Orange finished conference play splitting with Ulster in a rain shortened two game stand. Orange had clinched the 3 seed and dropped their first game of the Region tournament to 2 seed Westchester. Orange then came back from an 8 run deficit to beat Rockland 12-11. That victory knocked Rockland, the one seed and defending champion, out of the tournament. Orange then defeated Sullivan in the loser's bracket final to advance to the championship game against Westchester. Orange could not sustain their hot streak and dropped the final 5-2.
Orange had a potent offensive attack this season. Four Colt regulars batted over .300 on the season. Dillon Merola led the way batting .349 with 8 extra base hits, 9 stolen bases, and scoring 26 runs. Schuyler Martire batted .331 with 10 stolen bases and scored 25 runs. Nick Gurda hit .301 with 10 extra base hits and 10 stolen bases. Adrian Castillo also had a great year at the plate hitting .301 and driving in 21 runs. Freshman outfielder Brian Guzman had 28 RBI and 12 stolen bases.
The Colts pitching staff went 10 players deep this season. Leading the way was sophomore south paw Rob Berger. Rob Pitched 46 innings for the Colts and had an impressive 3.86 ERA. Berger was one of 6 Colts to have 2 or more wins on the season. Another lefty, Kevin Crawford also had a strong season from the mound with 2 wins and leading the team with 18 strikeouts. David Gizzarelli ably filled the closer role. He won two and closed out 4 games for Orange out of the bullpen this season.

Avoid (or fix) Blotchy Stain
- • Blotch Prevention
- • More on gel stains
- • Clean up with a washcoat
- • Too late to prevent? Hide those blotches
More on gel stains
Unlike deep-penetrating liquid stains, gel stains hold their dye in suspension (right photo) so it can't oversaturate absorbent areas of the wood. Depending on the formula, however, some gel stains still produce high contrast between earlywood and latewood in pine (bottom photo).
Before applying gel stain, thoroughly mix any liquid at the top of the can back into the gel. Wipe on stain generously but evenly. Allow the stain to sit for the time recommended by the manufacturer -- usually about three minutes -- and then wipe off the surplus, working with the grain.
Don't expect gel stains to get you out of sanding end grain to a finer grit. A rough surface there still traps more stain pigment particles than on other surfaces.
If using water base products there is a blotch control made by Charles Niel Woodworking that is excellent. It provided the best finish of anything I have ever tried.10/14/2010 11:08:28 AM Report Abuse

STARTUP.COM, WIT, and 61*
I had the good fortune to view three sensational 2001 releases last week, but as you might imagine, none of them is playing at your local movie theatre. The Warner Bros. and Touchstone studios showed welcome tact by delaying the premieres of Training Day and Big Trouble, initially scheduled for release on September 21, in light of the tragic events of September 11; apparently, both films feature subplots that, in our current national climate, might be inappropriate for mass consumption. (One of the plotlines in Big Trouble, for example, deals with the impending detonation of a nuclear device.) Good for Hollywood, I say, and I hope they feel free to forever shelve any movie where explosions could legitimately be billed as featured characters. Will any of us feel the desire to watch the destructive, slow-motion set-pieces in something like Die Hard or Independence Day ever again? Should we ever have wanted to in the first place?

Another View: Enforce the Hazardous Vegetation Abatement Ordinance
By: Kevin Hanley
Another View
As President Harry Truman was leaving office, he wondered out loud about the managerial skills of General Eisenhower, the incoming president, in the political world. "He'll sit there all day saying do this, do that, and nothing will happen," said Truman. "Poor Ike — it won't be bit like the Army. He'll find it very frustrating." Ultimately, Truman was wrong about Ike's political skills in getting things done, but right on the larger point about how bureaucratic obstacles can too often impede effective policy implementation. In my eight years on the Auburn City Council and over 20 years working for the California Legislature, I've seen first-hand that it is essential for elected leaders to take an active role in ensuring that good laws are implemented and are accomplishing their intended purpose. Passing a new ordinance or law is just the beginning of the story, not the end. Without oversight by elected officials, a new ordinance or law can quickly become a "dead letter," sitting on a shelf gathering dust. This observation will be tested in 2011 as various fire districts in Placer County implement the new Hazardous Vegetation Abatement Ordinance, as adopted by the Board of Supervisors on Dec. 14. The purpose of the ordinance is to help responsible landowners save their families and homes and to protect firefighters from preventable firestorms. A common problem in Placer County is the situation in which a responsible landowner, who has tried, to the best of his ability, to comply with state law by removing dry brush, dead trees and tree limbs 100 feet from around his home but is stopped from achieving adequate "defensible space" because an adjacent landowner on an unimproved parcel irresponsibly allows dangerous levels of fire fuels to pile up year after year. The irresponsible landowner thereby threatens the responsible landowner and puts the lives of responding firefighters in jeopardy. This problem occurred in the devastating 49 Fire of 2009, which resulted in the destruction of 63 homes and several businesses. The new county ordinance is part of the fuels reduction solution. It provides an opportunity for a responsible landowner who is unable to obtain the required defensible space around his home because of the hazardous fire fuel conditions on an adjacent, unimproved property to register a complaint about this public safety problem and to activate county assistance. Upon receiving a complaint, fire officials would first try to obtain voluntary compliance from the irresponsible property owner in removing the fire fuels. As a last resort, the ordinance provides for the implementation of a compulsory abatement order to ensure that the fire fuels are removed. In early 2010, the Auburn City Council passed a similar ordinance. With this enhanced authority, and along with volunteer efforts like "Project Canyon Safe" and an existing weed abatement ordinance, the city's fire chief is achieving more defensible space each year. We have found in the City of Auburn that in most cases a compulsory abatement order is not necessary to obtain full compliance with the law once the landowner is notified of the problem. I salute the Placer County Supervisors for enacting the ordinance as an important step toward proactive action to reduce the fire threat. But county residents need supervisors who will champion this effort, meet with residents with fire hazard complaints, work with fire officials to get action on the ground and hold regular oversight hearings on implementation of this important effort. This responsibility shouldn't be delegated to the fire services. The burden falls on the elected supervisors as to whether the new ordinance becomes a "dead letter" that sits and gathers dust on the shelf or an aggressive tool to save lives, homes, firefighters and taxpayer dollars. Kevin Hanley serves on the Auburn City Council and as chairman of the Greater Auburn Area Fire Safe Council.

We often get so caught up with simply living the day you don't stop to realize you are living the very same day over and over again. That's not who i am.
My friend recently shared with me one simple phrase "It's time i called the meetings in my life."
So there you have it.
This won't be an indefinite break but certainly and extended one. And when i return, because i will, it will be with an entirely new look and feel. I have many ideas but all in due time.
"What if i fall?"
Oh, but darling
What if you fly?

Momma to 2 perfect little boys: M and J
I try to join a Moms Club, but the reality is I've had to be at aDr or hospital app every tiem I've been able to go, so nott able to go.
Other than that this is it.
And before this:
Jan 2008 - May 2008 planning my own wedding for 200 guests in a foriegn country with zero help.
May 2008 - Oct 2009 3 miscarriages, planning second reception in country of origin remotely for 300 guests, again zero help. And immigration of course
Oct 2009 - May 2010 IVF&miscarriage, IVF and IVFinto high risk for everythign under the sun pregnancy.
Jan 2011 baby arrives, April 2011 pap smear bad, oncology trips begin.
When you have nothing going on but this stuff it becomes increasingly isolating and increasingly harder to have mundane conversations with the few normal people you do meet.
Mamijo CT. Nov Boy due 20th 2015.
I would find a hobby, join a mom club in your town etc. I work FT so that helps me. I feel like I have something goin on other than the kids. But I know it can be tough when you are home with the LO all day. Join a book club or something that might interest you. And have your SO watch the baby a day or two so you can get out to do something just for you.
K~ Mommy to:
DD 2006~Angel 7-29-09~DS 2011
And our furkid- Brady -Lab- 2/8/07
I work FT now, which saves my sanity. When I was home with LO for the first 3 mo, I went crazy because I realized that all I could do was wait on my husband. I have friends, of course, but I am the first one with a baby and they all work and do the stuff you can do without kids! lol. It was difficult for me to adjust. If I had stayed home, I definitely would have had to find a hobby or a group of SAHM moms to hang out with. You can only wait on LO and DH so much. I give props to all SAHM's.
Annabelle Lee 12.30.10 and Baby FJ 9.26.12
I work really hard to get my kids bathed and down by 7:00 even if that means some nights I do all of the work so that after 7:00 I can do what I want to do. My husband and I try to have something going on that we both like to do - sometimes we have week long Wii tournaments, do puzzles, play games or watch series we have never seen (we are in the middle of West Wing right now). My day revolves around my kids and it is exhausting! It's easy to feel like it's all I'm capable of. My sister-in- law takes classes - bible studies, art classes, ect.
OP I know how you feel, I have felt much the same way. I love my children (obviously) and I love that I am able to be home with them. But I don't honestly really have anything else that I do, not even hobbies. I don't really have friends because our friends from college are too busy and can't relate to us now that we're parents. The only person I hang out with is my sister but she has her own shit she's dealing with. I guess, I had my first son 2 years after graduating college, and then we had this LO, so I didn;t have time to work on "me" in between college and being a mother. Not saying I regret it- I didn't have any big career aspirations and I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but it is what it is. We have no plans for more children any time soon (maybe some day in the future... but not for at least a few years) so I want to take the next few years to work on me, and to enjoy my 2 boys. I've joined a moms meetup group in my area, to help get me and my kids out of the house and to meet new people. I am trying to find a part time job, both to give me something to do and to help with income. We've made being a SAHM work pretty well so far, but its getting to the point where I can't really justify it because we are so broke all the time. Finally, I'm even thinking about going to grad school. It wasn't something I wanted to do right after college and I knew I didn't want to waste the time/money if I wasn't passionate about something... but now I feel like I'm ready, I've found something I think I actually want to do, and best of all it will greatly increase my income potential meanig we can have a more comfy lifestyle and move to a better house/neighborhood.
Sorry to ramble at you, but I can definitely relate to how you're feeling and am starting to find things to do to try and drag myself out ofit.
Jess, mom to...
Kieran, 6/13/2009 and Rowan 1/31/2011 and Molly, 8/5/2013
I bought a carrier so I have a way to get out to take the dog on walks with LO and to go on hikes. We have a local Bird Sancuary that I love to go to and gather my thoughts. Ella loves the woods too.

is not migrate with this error message :

After that I manage the new instance in administration interface, and in Security Panel, there is a choice to "Migrate 3.x certificate"
I try this, but I get this error message

The American Humane Association is sponsoring a photo contest with prize money up for grabs. There are four categories to choose from: Pets, People & Pets, Down on the Farm and Shelter Life. If you plan to submit a photo of your dog, consider these photographic tips.
A lot of dogs are terrified of cameras, which look like giant eyes pointed directly at them. In the dog world, staring is both rude and threatening. Dogs are usually less frightened by a larger lens far away than by a smaller lens close up, so a portrait lens is a good investment. Concerning the eyes of the dog, they are the most important feature. A photo can survive blurry parts, especially the fur and tail when in motion, but eyes must be sharp!
Many dogs are riveted by motion, so wiggling a finger, waving an arm or shaking a toy will keep many dogs occupied and looking in the right direction. If a dog has a tendency to consider stay optional, a slight lean forward by the photographer is often enough to keep a dog in place.
Most dogs look especially adorable when cocking their heads. The easiest way to get a dog to do so is to make an unfamiliar sound. Try a click, a smooch, a squeak, a woop woop, sing a few bars, imitate a bird or any other sound that's new to the dog but unlikely to scare him.
Proper perspective can make or break a picture. Getting down to the dog's level rather than shooting from above will help avoid unflattering photos which show off and enlarge his nose.
To convey the essence of a dog requires incorporating the dog's personality into the photo. Does the dog love to fetch more than life itself? Put a tennis ball or two in the frame. Is there another toy that is a constant companion? Use it as part of the foreground. Does she often have one ear up and one ear down, her tongue hanging way out, or one paw raised? All photographic and behavioral techniques aside, it's that sense of having captured what makes a dog unique, not just beautiful, that leads to a picture a photographer can be proud of taking and compelled to share.

Sundt Construction Inc. employee-owners have given blood to the Red Cross and other blood donation services, resulting in 80 pints of blood being sent to local hospitals to be used for emergencies and medical procedures, Sundt Foundation announced Thursday.
This is the first time a company-wide blood drive has taken place in Sundt's construction offices in San Diego; Tempe/Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Sacramento; and San Antonio and El Paso, Texas, according to the Sundt Foundation.
"Our first company-wide blood drive was a big success," Sundt Foundation President Tom Crohurst said. "We have held blood drives many times in individual offices, but never in one coordinated effort."
The Sundt Foundation, established in 1999 by Sundt Construction as a way for the employee-owners to give back to the communities where they work, distributes grants every quarter. The foundation has granted more than $5 million to hundreds of organizations, according to Sundt.
Nearly 75 percent of the money goes to disadvantaged children's issues, and 25 percent goes to community issues, according to the foundation.

I have noticed that in long editing sessions, calling
undo-tree (C-x C-u) becomes slower and slower. I presume that the reason is that as the tree grows bigger it takes longer to parse it (as it keeps track of all my edits since I opened the file)
Is there any way to clear up the tree of undos on an open file? I have tried
C-x C-v (
find-alternate-file), but this re-opens the file which resets the cursor (and in modes like
org-mode collapses my lists)

DUI charges
TOWNSHEND A Newfane man is facing several charges after allegedly threatening people with a machete and crashing into a sign for the local high school while intoxicated.

According to police, around 5 p.m. Saturday Tyler was in a minor crash with another driver on State Forest Road.
According to police, Smith exited his vehicle while wielding an 18-inch machete, and then fled the scene.

The heat can be brutal for those who work without air conditioning, like folks working outside. Road crews like we found in Chocowinity in Beaufort County say the oppressive temperatures come with the territory. Much of the road crew's workday Monday was spent on preparations to repave sections of Highway 17 in Chocowinity. We'll keep you posted on delay information.

Chestnut Hill College
|StudentsReview ::
Chestnut Hill College - Comments and Student Experiences
Education: Not very challenging, even though I'm in the honors program. The program is pretty sub-par with big emphasis on discussion. For example, I have to take an honors seminar class every year, which is discussion-based and combines two subjects together.55% of your grade is based on how much you speak in class. Yes, more than half of your grade depends on how much you contribute to the TWO HOUR discussion-based class. It's ridiculous. You are assigned a mountain of reading, and expected to talk about the readings in class, but it doesn't even matter whether you read or not because you can just make comments based on what others have said to make it look like you've one the readings for that week. Basically, the class is Bullshit 101. Sure, being an articulate person is good, but so much of your grade shouldn't be dependent on how well you pretend to be interested.Also the writing class required for IDHP students isn't that great. You spend 2-4 weeks on a segment on a particular subject with a certain professor. So, it's like a few weeks learning to write literary analysis, a few weeks writing an philosophical argument paper, etc. It's just not really beneficial. You don't truly learn much in a subject by spending just two weeks on it, however, CHC thinks otherwise. In fact, these two weeks spent learning these subjects suffice when it comes to prerequisites. So, after learning psych for two weeks in the writing class, you won't need a general psych class to graduate. That may seem helpful, but it's truly hell if you're trying to transfer. Other schools aren't going to accept those two weeks as an equivalent to an actual semester course, but CHC does! (It's how they trap students probably.) Also there's this silly FYI class (First Year Initiative) for freshman. Honors program kids don't get to experience it very much, but for other students, it's really just busy work, trips to places around school, like the library or something like that, "self-reflections" on what you've "learned". It's busywork/babysitting for the immature freshies. How torturous.
Social Life: Where do I begin? There is a big emphasis on athletics, even though CHC isn't a big school with big teams, like Temple or Drexel. Athletes tend to stick together very much. Their giant clique is pretty standoffish sometimes. On YikYak they would make snarky comments about NARPs. I didn't even know what a NARP was until I came to this dinky school, lol. The snobby athletes make the place feel very much like high school. Don't get me wrong, there are some kind athletes at the school, it' true, but in general, they aren't the most approachable. They're pretty domineering and since it's a "dry" campus (not really), all the parties take place off campus, hosted by the athletes. No Greek life at the school since it's Catholic, but the male athletes and their parties are kind of the equivalent to frat boys and frat parties, when it comes to the social scene. The school is tiny and there are a ton of cliques. You can just feel it when you walk into the cafeteria. It is not a good feeling. The school makes futile attempts at fun, for example, Fridays After Dark, which are comedy nights, game nights or movies that take place in Gruber theatre or Fitzsimmons Lounge. No one really goes. Comedians that have came have actually made jokes about the small turnout they get and whatnot when at CHC. It's pathetic. There are shuttles that go into town, which is a very scenic and picturesque place, but the shops are pricey as hell for some broke college kids. And as an African-American student, I often get followed and watched when I walk into the stores owned by young white ladies. It's insulting. Another shuttle goes to Target, the mall, but this one only runs on the weekends and stops running at 10:30 PM!! It's awful! On the plus side, public transportation is pretty accessible from campus. It just takes a while, and costs money of course.
Dorm Life: Freshmen get Fournier and Fontbonne, which are the older dorms. Fournier is connected in a way that you never have to go outside to get from building to building, which is a huge perk. The lounges in Fournier and Fontbonne are very outdated. They have really old furniture and carpeting, but each has 1 nice TV with cable. The Fournier lounge gets a lot of bugs when the weather is warm, especially roaches at night. Fitz is great, but only for upperclassmen, and same goes for Sugarloaf, which is off-campus housing. Transportation back and forth to campus is provided by shuttles, which is good. I live in the honors hall and I hate it. The first year honors program kids form a pretty big clique, which is nice initially, because you'll always have someone to go to lunch with, walk to classes with, but it gets old fast when you live together AND go to class together. It's hard to get away from each other. And for honors kids, they lack a lot of common sense and aren't always open-minded. Visitors, you need to have permission a couple days ahead of time, no overnight guests of the opposite sex (easy to break this rule if the guest lives on campus, but otherwise, forget it).
Food: Not too tasty or healthy. Caf closes at 8 PM during the week, 6:30 on weekend. Griffin's Den provides meals when cafe is closed, or if you've missed a meal, but they are hardly open on weekends. Every now and then they have something good, but not always. Salad, french fries and pizza are available every single day. McCaffery Lounge sells the best food, but you can't use your meal plan here, just points or cash. Also, if you have dietary needs, such as gluten-free food, don't consider CHC! They have very few gluten-free options.
The Arts: Kind of nonexistent. Very few music majors and art majors. Gruber theatre is in the basement of the library, and is super small, so they don't even host the plays there. Instead, there are hosted in the place called the Motherhouse, which has a stage, but no real seating in it. They just place chairs in there as needed. It's part of the convent where all the sisters live. The art gallery is comprised of just a couple of hallways. Poetry club is super small. There was recently a talent show, but only about 30 people came to watch. There aren't a lot of artistic clubs and activities, so this school isn't the best for creative students.
$$$: CHC offers students a seemingly large financial package, but it doesn't turn out to be all that helpful for many students. Athletes usually get the biggest scholarships. I got an academic scholarship for about $13,500, and some small grants and loans, but paying for the semester still will be difficult. Especially because I don't feel like I am getting the most out of my money. My parents have put a lot of money into the school,which makes me feel incredibly guilty since I'm unhappy here. Paying thousands for education that could be received for little to nothing at a community college, a school with no social life, and a college that feels like high school? No thanks.
Overall, I wish I had not attended the school. I hope to transfer to a larger school with more opportunities, more creative outlets, a more diversified student body. CHC does have a few perks, but not enough to outweigh the disadvantages for me. If you're an athlete, in search of a small, quiet school, and/or not into city life, CHC just might be the place for you, but if not, please please please, do yourself a favor and look into more schools. Visit CHC a lot, talk to current students, stay overnight if you can. Do your research before you commit, guys!! I wouldn't want anyone to go through a college experience like mine. If you had a good time at CHC, that's good for you, but I wanna give people a fair warning. I would've loved to hear the REAL low-down about this place when I was in high school.

French join U.S. vets to mark 90th anniversary for Tomb of Unknowns
October 26, 2011

ARLINGTON, Va. (Army News Service, Oct. 26, 2011) -- Representatives of France today joined the 3rd U.S. Infantry and American military veterans in commemorating the 90th anniversary of the selection of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
French officers and the deputy mayor of Chalons-en-Champagne, France, attended the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns this morning at Arlington National Cemetery. Representatives from the Army Historical Foundation, American War Memorials Overseas and the American Legion also attended the ceremony to commemorate what happened at the selection of the Unknown Soldier in Chalons on Oct. 24, 1921.
U.S. Army Sgt. Edward F. Younger, who selected the unknown from four identical caskets at the city hall in Châlons, was also honored. The French and American delegation decorated his grave following the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
Younger himself was wounded in combat during World War I and received the Distinguished Service Cross for valor.
Later today the French delegation plans to present the 3rd U.S. Infantry (Old Guard) with framed photographs of plaques mounted on the wall of the great hall of the city hall of Chalons-en-Chanpagne that mark selection of the Unknown Soldier and follow what happened with the casket from the time it left the city hall until it departed the train station in Chalons for the port of Le Havre.
The events at Arlington National Cemetery were witnessed by invited representatives of organizations present at the ceremonies in 1921: The armed forces of France, The U.S. Army, and the American Legion.
The story of the Unknown Soldier actually begins March 4, 1921, when the United States Congress approved the burial of an unidentified American serviceman from World War I in the plaza of the new Memorial Amphitheater.
On Memorial Day 1921, four unknown servicemen were exhumed from four World War I American cemeteries in France. Efforts over the summer concentrated on ensuring the unknowns were actually killed in combat and could not be identified. In October, four identical caskets were brought to the city hall in Châlons-en-Champagne. Younger selected one by placing a bouquet of white roses on the casket.
The World War I unknown lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda from his arrival in the United States until Armistice Day, 1921. On Nov. 11, 1921, President Warren G. Harding officiated ceremonies at the Memorial Amphitheater in Arlington National Cemetery.
During the ceremony, the World War I Unknown was awarded the Victoria Cross by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Beatty, on behalf of King George V of the United Kingdom. The unknown also received the U.S. Medal of Honor and several other foreign nations' highest service awards.
Later a white marble sarcophagus was placed at the head of the grave of the unknown. Years later, unknowns from World War II, Korea and Vietnam were interred at the site.

An intimate look at Big Bob, the slave martyrPublished 10:05pm Wednesday, February 27, 2013
By LEESA JONES
People attending the black history program at Emmanuel Temple in Washington sat attentively listening. A few wiped tears from their eyes as they heard about the many heroic deeds and contributions African-Americans have made to Washington's history. Young and old nodded their heads approvingly with an with an occasional "Wow!' from the children.
I told them of Hull Anderson's life and contributions he made to Washington's history, as well as about William Mayo who has a street named after him. The audience was amazed by the many contributions "contraband" or escaped slaves had made to building of Washington, but none seemed to capture their hearts more than the story of Big Bob, the slave martyr who died defending Washington.
Big Bob, while not from Washington, has certainly left a tremendous impact on its history. Even as I told Big Bob's story, I remembered the echoes of years past of the stories I heard as a child about "Preaching Bob" who died on the river as a hero for the Union or as he was affectionately called by my ancestors, "Bobby Dobb."
"Yes sirree, Bobby Dobb!" was a term I heard my grandmother say to mean "to do the right thing even though it might cost you something." Since no one knew Big Bob's last name, and the name Dobb or Dobbin was a nickname for Robert or Bob, it just seemed that saying "Bobby Dobb" was a way of affirming the statement.
Once, when I was in fourth grade, I had run home to evade the class bully. I got a lecture on standing like "Preacher Bob," and I was told, "Yes sirree, you stand like Bobby Dobb, the Union scout! You don't run from no trouble!" by my grandmother.
"Big Bob" came to Washington during the Siege of Washington from around the New Bern area in March 1863. He and other slaves had been taken and were being enrolled in the Rebel army. They were being compelled to serve as cooks, cleaners and do other menial work. They had been put under guard shortly before being taken to the Rebel's nearest command center.
Big Bob, not wanting to work for the Rebel cause, came up with a plan to escape and invited his fellow slaves to join him. The plan included seizing the guard assigned to them and escaping with the guard. They captured the guard and traveled 30 miles from the camp before they let him go, but not before taking the guard's uniform. Bob put the guard's clothes on, and they made their way to the nearest "contraband" camp, which was in Washington. Once in Washington, they hailed the nearest Union gunboat and were taken aboard.
No sooner than Big Bob and his companions were on board, they were pressed into service. They were asked to take on an expedition that was extremely important and dangerous. They were needed to go into the "interior" and to infiltrate the enemy's camp. They did so successfully and captured three important Rebels and handed them over to the Union fleet. They were highly praised by their commander.
One week later, Big Bob and his scouts were given an even more dangerous mission. They were asked to destroy a Confederate supply base near Pactolus called "The Mill." They were needed to destroy the salt works and a tannery, which were vital to war production. Without the salt, the Rebel army could not preserve food. Without the tannery, the army could not make harnesses for the horses, cartridges for weapons or shoes and vests for themselves.
Big Bob and his companions destroyed the salt works, tannery and freed 23 slaves from the Rebel camp. Big Bob and the slaves armed themselves with the guns they had taken during the mission. The return from this defeat was not so easily accomplished, for the enemy had placed themselves on the line between them and the gunboats. When they reached within four miles of Rodman's Point where the fleet was, a fight broke out between Big Bob's men, which totaled 40, and 100 of the Rebels. The fight lasted for an hour, and Big Bob and his men charged the Rebels firing their guns. Big Bob's men gallantly fought on hearing his declaration, "I never surrenders!" Big Bob's unit suffered a loss of three men and 10 injuries, but it made it back to the fleet.
The next day, March 31, Big Bob was accompanied by a flatboat filled with soldiers and Capt. Charles Lyons (who had been told to "hold Rodman's Point at all cost"). Big Bob and his men attempted to land at Rodman's Point. The Rebel fighting was heavy, and the men were all in peril of being killed. To make matters worse, the flatboat became stuck on a sandbar. While it rained down bullets, Big Bob realized something had to be done. He got out of the boat declaring, "Somebody's got to die, it might as well be me!" He pushed the boat off the sandbar and was shot five times. He fell, dying, in the boat.
Lyon's men got the boat back to safety where senior medical field surgeon Dr. Robert Ware of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry worked to save Big Bob. He amputated Big Bob's leg and cut out part of the bone from one arm, desperately trying to save him, but it was to no avail.
Ware later wrote a newspaper account describing Big Bob's heroism. The account read, "I must tell you of one hero who saved a company of soldiers from certain death. A flatboat full of soldiers with a few Negroes attempted to land at Rodman's Point, but was repulsed by terrible fire of Rebel bullets. All were tumbling into the flatboat to escape being shot. Meanwhile, the boat stuck fast on a sandbar on the shore when this noble African said, 'Somebody's got to die to git us out of dis, it may as well be me.' He deliberately got out of the boat and pushed it off the sandbar and fell into it pierced by five bullets. The man died, an instance of pure heroism unsurpassed by any the war affords."
No wonder my ancestors were so proud of Big Bob, the preacher who helped the Union Army, and no wonder we learned to stand in the face of adversity.
"'Yes sirree, Bobby Dobb!' You truly are a hero!"

oh really? that might be y i couldnt see it on my laptop last night? is there an easy way to lower it?
Dont forget to join the forum and comment your ideas or opinions, also things will be posted there first and some thing will only be on the forums
Dont forget to join the forum and comment your ideas or opinions, also things will be posted there first and some thing will only be on the forums
i tried tangent but i couldn't get it to work properly, i kept getting a completely flat bump map or it would create a bump map of both the high and low poly model and you could imagine a map that's highlighting the low poly bumps :/
Thanks for the comments, to clear things up about the Handle (that isnt actually the handle) ill make a few quick concept images about how the weapon is used, stand buy
i might be able to help with that?
i dont understand this concept, or most of them for that matter
they are mainly based on modern weapons just using a bit of imagination and varying it up a bit so we aren't using the same guns in every game we play,
In that case you can send me whatever ones you would like to share with us and ill see if i can fix the polys to a more suitable level ( if you dont want to thats fine )
send anything to
about 6000 and i can use them straight away, but they can be up to 12000 max and i can maybe optimise them a little
if this is dead is your source code available?
i was reading a mag about how us pc uses are help back by consoles cos they making games for consoles that are now 6 years old
i would like to be able to see it, maybe a feature for later? but good job men
But if you really like the game you learn the insides to mod it
looks great
haha yea ignore these,
wow thats actually pretty cool, well done
just says this game is not ready to be played offline
Thanks, it hasnt been updated in a while because i wanted to wait untill we have some decent things to show ( and decent things are hard to make if you dont have a coder haha ) anyway should be some good things to come and the release of our website soon as well with forums so people can chat with the developers of the game ( including me ) on there about the game and things they would like to see.
Yes actually that would be good thank you, pm me
Thats the clay render, and no its not in constant view, not in view at all really but at the time i made this bike blender didnt have the ability to reduce polys in a cylinder (now it does) and i didnt have the patience to do it manually ( the overall polys could be dropped to about 10,000 maybe if i went over it and fixed those non optimized parts )
ill put the wire up but i warn you this was made a while ago when i didnt even know geometry and was not trying to keep the poly count low
epic..... get bored of going dinos? NEVER! hopefully more diff types though
so its like tho old cyberbikes game, and tron?
what man waxes his arms? do you? :/
looks like a rail gun
make me think of those gametypes in ut3 where there is that super vehicle that spawns for whoever controlled that node, just a thought like replace it with a baneblade or something?, anyway was just thinking about terminators, space marine and chaos as a vehicle similar set up to the walker we did i would think, just smaller. anyway awesome job Geo downloading when my cap gets reset
you mean high poly over top a low poly? bump mapping?
i would do that if i knew how to unwrap but i dont so im stuck with normal for the moment
Thanks :)
peterku? not exactly low poly enough for a game, awsome model though

The Nissin Air Stage 390 reminds me a lot of the Oni Rod - or at least the blank on which the Oni Rod is built. The Air Stage does not have the EVA foam grip and the resulting added weight. It is a rod that, at least in my opinion, casts very much like the Oni Rod but weighs half as much. With just the widened out blank for a grip, the 390 has the balance you would expect from a 1.5 ounce sieryu rod or a very light Japanese tenkara rod.
From a casting standpoint, both rods are remarkably similar - again, in my opinion. I do not expect everyone to agree with me on this one, because the rod's balance certainly does affect the feel of the rod when casting. If you can separate what you feel from the weight distribution standpoint from what you feel with regard to how the blank transmits the energy from your hand to the line and the resistance/inertia from the line to your hand, then you will understand what I mean when I say the feel very similar.
The two rods will cast the same lines. Whether you fish with a size 4 level line or a size 1.5 level line, a short line or a long line, you could use either rod interchangeably. I did fish the Tenkara Midi tapered lines with both rods but I did not fish any furled lines.
I caught bigger fish with the Oni Rod, but I don't attribute that to the rod. In addition to feeling similar when casting, the two rods feel pretty similar when fighting a fish. Neither one is really a big fish rod. Both will be very happy with fish up to about 12" in current and quite a bit larger in quiet water. As I mentioned in my August 17 trip report, a good sized fish, in current, when caught with a seiryu rod or the Oni rod at some point will just sulk on the bottom and the rod does not have sufficient backbone to move it.
The Air Stage and the Oni Rod are relatively soft rods. I measure the Oni Rod at 13 pennies and the Nissin Air Stage 390 at 12.5 pennies. However, just because a rod is soft doesn't necessarily mean you cannot land nice fish. If you can maneuver the fish into quiet water (or are skilled at hand lining) you can land much larger fish. I recently got an email from a guy who had just caught a couple 19-20" fish on a rod much softer than either the Air Stage or the Oni Rod.
Seiryu rods are finesse rods, not force rods. You can land good sized fish but you cannot muscle them around. They are not rods for fishing heavy nymphs and they are not rods for people who set a hook hard enough to launch 8" fish out of the water. Fish a tight line and lift the rod to set the hook, if you jerk the rod you risk breaking it. I have written several times that aggressive hook sets break rods.
The only other person I know of who has fished with both an Oni Rod and a Nissin Air Stage 390 said he felt the Oni Rod was closer to the Daiwa Sagiri 39MC (which is another 13 penny rod). I like the Sagiri quite a lot, but it strikes me as much more full flex than I recall the Oni Rod to be.
That brings up another point. For a long time, I have been a fan of full flex rods because I felt they were better able to cast light lines. Fishing with the Oni rod made me reassess that belief. The Oni Rod is an outstanding light line rod but it is not what I would call full flex. It has wonderfully light, responsive tip sections, which I believe are required for light line capability, but below that the the blank stiffens noticeably. The stiffer mid section allows you to make snappier casts, which increase line speed without overpowering the rod.
When I ordered my first Air Stage 390 I bought two, one 硬調 and one 硬中硬 (which is more mid flex). There is a noticeable difference between the two with respect to how much speed I could put into the forward stroke without overpowering the rod. The 硬調 could generate greater line speed and tighter loops than the softer 硬中硬. Not surprisingly, the stiffer 硬調 one is the one that feels like the Oni Rod. Both of the Air Stages did very well with light lines if the lines were relatively short and if there was no breeze. The stiffer rod was clearly superior with longer lines or when casting into a breeze. As I've mentioned many times, I'm not a fan of long line tenkara, but I know some people are.
To further test the idea that a stiffer or more tip flex rod actually might be a better choice for someone who wanted to fish light lines, I fished the 7:3 and 6:4 versions of the Zerosum 320, Pro Spec (at the shorter 310 length) and the Pro Square 320. With rod length lines, I did not feel either the 7:3 or 6:4 version was significantly better than the other. With longer rods, and more importantly, the longer lines they cast, it does become an issue.
Getting back to the Air Stage 390, I do not anticipate carrying the 硬中硬 version, but I have ordered and received a shipment of the 硬調. If you are looking for an incredibly light 13' rod for light lines and modest fish, this is a very nice rod.
Comparing the Air Stage 390 to the Suntech Kurenai rods, the Kurenai HM39R is a bit more tip flex than the Air Stage (and H39R is even more of a tip flex rod).
The Nissin Air Stage 390 is 13'0" extended and 23 5/8" collapsed. It
weighs just 1.4 ounces without the tip plug. On the penny scale, the rod
measures 12.5 pennies, right in between the Suntech Kurenai HM39 at 12 and the Oni Rod or Daiwa Sagiri 39MC at 13. This rod provides lots of
tactile feedback when executing the cast, and has enough stiffness that
you can punch a cast into the wind.
The Nissin Air Stage grip, like that on
all the Nissin seiryu rods, is a widened section of the blank itself,
covered with a very effective nonskid finish. For all the shorter seiryu
rods, up through and including the 390, I still
maintain that you do not need to add tennis racquet grip wrap.
As with the other Air Stage rods, the tip plug is plastic and has minute ridges either molded or machined into the part that goes into the rod tip. It is a very snug fit - much more so than on the perhaps more common wood / rubber plugs. The grip screw is also plastic and screws into an aluminum insert in the end of the grip. The knurling on the screw cap allows you to tighten it securely or remove it easily.
The finish on the Air Stage seiryu rods is unique. Depending on the angle of the sun, the grip section and the accents at the section ends are either a lapis blue or an emerald green. This is one pretty rod.
On the Nissin Air Stage Seiryu Rods page, I indicated that for the 190 up to the 340, I would fish a size 3 line. With the 390, there is just enough more inertia helping the rod load that you can easily fish lighter lines if you can find them. The lightest I can find to offer is a size 3 and the rod will perform masterfully with it.
I have probably gone on too much with the comparison between the Air Stage 390 and the Oni Rod, but I personally think the Air Stage 390 feels remarkably similar when casting and will cast the same light lines. Please note that this report was written before the Oni Type II and Type III were released. I am not at all sure the rod I had is even identical to the current Oni Type I (and I suspect it isn't).
Nissin Air Stage 390 - $190
Payment is through PayPal but you don't need to have a PayPal account. You can use your credit card.
Domestic shipping is $8 via priority mail 2-3 day delivery.
The Air Stage rods present a problem for international shipments. International first class packages cannot be longer than 24" but the rod cases that the Air Stage rods come in are longer than that. Either the cases have to be cut down or the rods have to be sent via priority mail, which is substantially more expensive. Please request a quote before ordering.

|The Air Stage impressed me as really, really special - such reach and accuracy and, for such a thin, light rod, such significant backbone.
John L, Colorado
|I love this rod.
Mark D, Pennsylvania
|'cuse my profanity and Aussie vernacular, but **** Chris, why isn't everyone going ballistic about these Nissin Airstages? They are bloody fantastic. Just landed a big carp on my 390 "slumming it" after work. The rod is a dream, casts a #1.5 perfectly in the calm, and a #3 into a head wind, nymphs and kebaris and dries.
Casts like a dream, feather in the hand, and MOST importantly, fishes. Lands fish well above boxing weight - you've underrated them on your site, my gain and others loss. Decision made, I'm ordering more from you.
Craig P, Victoria
I can't in good conscience recommend them for carp!

|The Air Stage is superb and I agree it is superior to the ONI rod, which is also excellent. Balance with the Air Stage is perfect, not that I tested it in any way other than fishing it, but it is one of those rods that disappears in use. I think you know what I mean. You aren't even aware you are holding a fishing pole, the line just goes where you expect it to.
Stephen M, Massachusetts
|Airstage 390 with a 3.5 line is truly a great rod and lays out a beautiful line.
A very smooth rod. I think this will be one of my main go to rods this year. Very pleasantly balanced rod and shoots a fly where you point it.

Pulau Aman Things to Do: 16 reviews and 48 photos
As you see the Pulau Aman Map, there's a Telaga Emas (Golden Well) along the island. According to the history, a villager around 1789, dugs a well and found a tempayan (large earthernware jar for storing water) that turned into golden tempayan. Then the British in Penang heard of the golden tempayan and came to dig and dig the well but they cant find any golden tempayan but a lot of golden coloured pebbles. I guess that why the beach are full of beautifuls pebbles..
The well is situated next to the beach, and yet the well's water taste very fresh and with a lot of large tadpoles inside the water, haha..I dont want to drink that water but used it to wash my hand and face for good luck.. and time for snacking...

Well, the preview for next weeks episode show him using Quilava and Heracross in the league, so that's kind've debunked.
And yes, he released them. They are not under his care anymore, they are under Liza's and Officer Jenny's. However, they still have loyalty to ash, as he still does own their pokeball. He still owns Butterfrees, Pidgeots, etc though too. He released them. It doesn't mean he got rid of them.
