Whats Wrong With Nick?

Reviewed by members of NAMI's Literature Committee
What's Wrong with Nick? by Carrie Lyn Torney. Available from Friend of Nick's, PO Box 972, Claremont, NH, 03743. 16pp $3.95
This attractively illustrated book meets an important need. Be means of a story about two boys, one of whom has schizophrenia, it explains mental illness to young children.
Written by a counselor in Claremont, New Hampshire, it has the mother explain that Nick often doesn't leave the house to play because he sometimes hears voices.
She tells the younger boy, Sean, that Nick takes medication to help the voices go away or make them easier to tolerate. In response to his question, "How can I help Nick?" she replies, "Be his friend?"
"Dr. Thomas Zelnick, Chief of Psychiatry at the Catherine McAuley Health System in Ann Arbor, Michigan, took the book home to read to his two young daughters. He did this because he had found it difficult to explain to them what he,as a psychiatrist, does, and what patients he treats. He found the book very helpful for this purpose. In his own words:
"I recently had the opportunity to read "What's Wrong with Nick?" to my two children, ages 4 and 6. Judging from their reaction, the book was helpful to them in understanding schizophrenia. It held their attention throughout, and I believe they would have been interested in hearing more development of the characters and issues involved. This surprised me, given their young ages.
"My oldest daughter immediately requested that she be allowed to take the book for 'sharing day' with her first grade class. The book was apparently well received by the class as well. The teacher took the opportunity to participate by sharing that she herself had diabetes, and that she also knew people with schizophrenia.
"When I told them that one of my young patients in the hospital had schizophrenia, my youngest daughter seemed moved. She wanted to do something for him. She drew a 'birthday card' for me to give to him. She has since asked if I needed any more cards for patients.
"The concise and simple format of the book has advantages. I would like to see future books similarly written for young children which elaborate further on issues confronting patients with serious mental disorders."
This book fills a unique spot. It will be welcomed by parents, teachers, and others who are faced with the challenge of teaching young children about serious mental illness.

Product Description
JLT Driver Side Oil Separator Kit for 1999-2004 Cobra Mustangs.JLT Performance's newest product to keep oil out of your intake is the oil separator. During the process of venting crankcase pressure back through your intake track, large amounts of oil, in the form of vapors, can coat your blower rotors, intercooler fins and even dilute your gas, lowering its octane level.
Milled from solid billet aluminum with a black or clear anodized finish, this is a rock solid piece. It has a knurled tank base for easy removal to drain the spent oil and an O-ring seal to prevent any leaks. JLT took this unit a step further and added a Ford Motorcraft metal mesh PCV Pre Filter element. This element collects the last bit of oil droplets and drains back into the tank when the engine is shut down.
Oil Separator Kit Includes:
- Mounting bracket
- Fittings
- Hose
- Hardware
- Instructions
*The tank holds 2 oz. of fluid, while that may not sound like a lot, you shouldn't see that much oil in your PCV system. Drain it every oil change and you will never come close to filling it.

Alternative lunch upsets parents in La. school
Overdue lunch bills cause students to receive different lunch.
April 16—Recently the Hancock County School District, in La., started offering an alternative lunch for students who have outstanding lunch bills.
This policy is upsetting parents, who say the kids are being embarassed in front of the other students. Superintendent Alan Dedeaux admits some students are getting different meals and tells parents it is simply because the district is losing money on lunches.

Nordic Pure's 20x25x5 Skuttle replacement filters are specifically built to replace the original manufacturer Skuttle 20x25x5 air filters. Nordic Pure's filters will capture dust as good or better than the name brand filters. Nordic Pure also has MERV Plus Carbon air filters. The electrostatic MERV Plus Carbon air conditioning filter has a MERV media plus an added layer of polyester based media impregnated with activated carbon. *OEM names are shown for filter substitution identification purposes only.
IMPORTANT Note: Air filters have an actual size that is a fraction of an inch smaller than the standard size (also known as "nominal size"). The size printed on your filter may NOT be the Actual Size. With the 4" and 5" filters there is a wider variance between the nominal size and actual size for the different manufacturers. This is why we ask you to measure your filter so you aren't surprised if the filter doesn't fit! Just check the "Actual Size" before ordering.
If Carbon Option is selected:
Nordic Pure is now offering MERV Plus Carbon air filters. Our electrostatic MERV Plus Carbon air conditioning filter has a MERV media plus an added layer of polyester based media impregnated with activated carbon. The dual combination results in two different medias combined into one convenient air conditioner filter. The MERV pleated media captures microscopic airborne dust, pollen, allergens, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria and particulates carrying bacteria, and viruses in the air for better indoor air quality. The high quality activated carbon air filter polyester media naturally deodorizes the air by absorbing and eliminating household odors that may come from pets, garbage, bathrooms, smoke, litter boxes, or cooking. It also removes levels of concentration of gases (VOC's) as well as particulates in the air while maintaining excellent air flow properties.
Nordic Pure, manufacturer direct since 1960. We manufacture MERVs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 high efficiency pleated air conditioner and furnace filters. They capture microscopic airborne dust, pollen, allergens, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria and particulates carrying bacteria, and viruses in the air. Maximize the filtration by choosing a higher MERV rated air filter. Our MERVs 12, 13, 14, and 15 air filters, which capture up to 98.9% + of airborn particles, are best for people suffering with allergies and other breathing issues. We can make most odd-sized MERVs 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 CUSTOM HVAC air filters in 1", 2", or 4" and MERV 15 in 4" for low cost and fast Free Home Delivery.

Our non-woven synthetic air filter media will not support the growth of mold or bacteria, keeping your home healthier. As we say in the industry, "You have to move the air to clean the air". Our hypoallergenic and antimicrobial air filters use permanently electrostatically charged material that acts like a magnet to help dust cling to the air filter.

More information about "Distraction or Ruse Burglaries":
Distraction burglary is a crime in which elderly persons are often the targets. The perpetrator seeks to draw a resident out of the house on a pretext. While the resident is occupied, an accomplice enters the home and picks up valuables such as money and jewelry. Thieves may also pick up papers with the intent of committing identity theft. In a variation, the accomplice enters the dwelling by a second door while the resident is occupied at the other door.
To prevent distraction burglary, be suspicious of anyone who comes to your door under any of these guises:
•Utility worker
•Public official
•Police officer
•Door-to-door salesperson
•Person asking about a lost pet
•Lost person asking for directions
•Person asking about working on the property
In a recent variation, criminals tell the residents that they have won a gift card or other prize.
In the case of someone claiming to be on official business, it's a good idea to ask for identification, but that can be faked. It's a better idea to call the agency and confirm that there are legitimate workers in the area. Be especially suspicious of anyone who wants access to your home. In addition, follow these other practices:
•Do not leave your purse or wallet out in the open.
•Keep jewelry and small valuables in a safe. Use jewelry boxes only for costume jewelry.
•Keep all doors locked. If you believe a caller has a legitimate reason to get you out of the house, pick up your key and lock the house behind you.
Elderly individuals may be targeted for the following reasons:
•They are more likely to live alone.
•They may need help in maintaining their property and may thus be especially vulnerable to those wanting to do yard work, trim trees, maintain fencing and do similar tasks.
•They may suffer from impaired cognition or judgment.
•They are often conscientious individuals who want to be cooperative.
Do your part to foil distraction burglars by passing on this information to individuals who may be targeted. If a suspicious incident occurs, report it immediately to prevent others in your area from being victimized. It is especially important that victims do not let their embarrassment about falling for a ruse keep them from reporting the crimes. Do not let down your guard even if the person knocking on your door is female or has children in tow. This is another strategy for getting residents to relax their guard.
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Police say that on the afternoon of Saturday, October 19th a Rockford woman became the victim of a "Distraction or Ruse Burglary" in the 4300 block of Sovereign Blvd on the City's southeast side.
A white man described as being between 30-40 years of old, 5'11, 175 pounds and wearing a black shirt approached a 55-year-old woman who was outside working in the yard. She was the caretaker for the 95-year old-homeowner. The man asked the caretaker if she would like her gutters cleaned out. When the caretaker entered the home to speak with the resident the man removed a ladder from the garage and placed it on the home. The caretaker came back outside and informed the suspect they did not want the work done and he replaced the ladder in garage and then left walking westbound on Sovereign Blvd. During this time a second man had entered the home through the rear and removed cash out of the caretaker's purse. The 95-year-old homeowner witnessed the second subject and informed the caretaker, who discovered the theft of money.
If you have further information on this crime or similar crimes in the area please alert the Rockford Police Department immediately.

The Black Diamond AMPerage Ski, their second-widest big mountain ski next to the Megawatt, is a powder ski with all-mountain versatility. It's got fat dimensions, rockered tip and tail, and a large turn radius for float, stability, and speed. Traditional camber underfoot and sandwich/sidewall construction give it pop and carving power. That lively poplar wood core also smooths out hyperspeed rides. Suddenly, landings are silkier than ever, ollies come fast and natural, and deep, high-speed drift-turns feel like a high-five with an old friend. Edging across an exposed chute to access pow? With camber and sidewalls, no problem. Staring down a bottomless bowl of Sierra cement? Rockered tip and plenty of girth at your service.

One-ski Quiver!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These skis can do it all. After switching from snowboarding back to skiing a few years ago, I was looking for a pair of sticks that could handle anything from groomers to backcountry powder runs. A buddy of mine told me about the Amperages, and I was hooked the moment I held a pair. I mounted a set of A/T bindings on these and have used them on all sorts of terrain (not park). They've handled everything I've thrown at them. Icy groomers in the afternoon to 4-foot deep powder backcountry runs in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Seriously, couldn't have asked for a better pair of skis. If you're looking for an all-mountain set up, I highly recommend the BD Amperages.

Awesome ski
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Have enough days on these that I'll finally write up a review. I've had these out mostly in powder here in Colorado.
First things first, these babies rip. You name it they do it, powder, chop, mank, jumps, you get the picture. BD finally heard the voice of skiers and started to stiffen up their skis and the new AMP is an amazing big mountain ripper. With camber under foot they'll make it back to the base without issues and they are just a dream in powder. These have a lot of pop in them and are fun as can be when you put some air under them. Super easy to turn in trees when you need it but they also like to rip big open turns. I like the design of skis like this, ie camber with early rise tip and tail vs say a full rocker. I believe BD hit the nail on the head with the AMPerage.
I got the 185 and I'm 5'10" 170, perfect length for me. Overall I'm very pleased with these bad boys. I'd recommend.

Great for the hard charging skier.
This makes other skis feel like your bringing chopsticks to a gunfight. They are super playful in the powder and still charge on the hardpack. The only draw back is that they have a softer tail. If you stomp every jump then your fine, but you have got to be a little hesitant if you land in the backseat. But overall, a great ski.
Just picked up the AMPs in the 185. Stoke level, High. Thanks for the response below
FYI, this ski is very different in the model being sold here from what you're on in that picture. I have last year's model, but the all black 2014s have a significantly stiffer tail. I've skied both, and I like them both. For me, the 2013 is a playful ski for mini golf in the trees and the 2014 is a much improved ski that can go lots faster. I find that last year's model has a speed limit.
Very true. BD finally listened to the skiers and stiffened up their skis. The reverts I have are great but can be pretty much ski like a noodle at times.

Can't wait to get these out on the powder. This year is looking like it is going to be a great powder year in CO!
What's a good size for this ski? Does the rocker impact the effective edge? I'm 5'10 and typically ski 175-180. Same rules apply?
Hi Ian,
A 175-180 would work just fine for you here. That would give you a really nimble/quick turning ski. I'm also 5'10" and if I was picking up this ski I would personally go with the 185. Just a matter of personal preference there, any of those three lengths would be applicable for you.

So looking for a ski to add to the quiver...
So looking for a ski to add to the quiver around the 112-115mm underfoot. Amps look good but my question is how damp are they? And how hard can they charge through chop and undesirable stuff occasionally? Also looking at the Armada JJ.
Skis I have are BD Revert for ski mountaineering, Moment Night Trains for powder and Ski Logik Ullr Chariots for regular resort days.
These skis are unbelievable. They have so much float and take on any type of surface with ease( and I have never had a problem slicing through any mixed crud) which is exactly what we get in CO. With a little aft movement and you float down powder with ease and the turning radius is not bad at all. I think the Rossignol S7 has a tighter turn radius, but the S7 and Amperage really have the same amount of chatter on the tips down the groomers. If your looking for an all mountain ski then I think this is really going to be a great ski for you. It does so well on all surfaces and that is what brought me to the Amp. I think it really performs in powder, but I can't tell you much about the Armada JJ because I have not used any and only have 2nd hand info which is not bad either. From personal experience I feel really confident riding anywhere with these. Hope that helps.
This is a fantastic ski, and handles all soft snow conditions with ease. Great float, no trouble skiing through the chop, will get you through trap crust and mashed potatoes just fine.
I haven't found it to be incredibly damp, but more than damp enough for my skiing style. If you're the type who likes to straight-line everything though, this might not be the ski for you.
As for hardpack performance, these are more than capable, and still fun, but definitely not a "charger" in harder conditions- the rockered and tapered tips don't lock in well on hardpack. But they perform just fine for moderate hardpack skiing.

A nasty note found in late Nirvana star Kurt Cobain's wallet for the attention of his wife Courtney Love has been released by police in Seattle, Washington.
Detectives found the communication while investigating Cobain's death 20 years ago, but have never released it until now.
The note suggests Cobain and the Hole star had fallen out, but it isn't clear if the "All Apologies" singer had presented it to his wife or not.
PHOTOS: Kurt Cobain | EXTRA: Remembering Kurt Cobain
It reads: "Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife. even when she's a (expletive) with zits (acne) and siphoning all yr (your) money for doping and whoring…"
The note, written on stationery from a San Francisco-area hotel, has a completely different tone to Cobain's suicide note, in which he calls Love a "goddess of a wife" who "sweats ambition and empathy".
A recent review of the case led lawmakers to rule that the King County Medical Examiner's original determination that Cobain's death was a suicide was correct. The rocker shot himself after taking a lethal dose of heroin.

So I was looking at my join date t'other day (yes it's wrong, my original Duff account was registered on the 28th, with another account registered four days before that), and just had a quick think about just how long I've spent here.
I've just turned 20. When I registered I was 14 and a couple of weeks away from starting studying for my GCSEs. Now I'm in my second year at university with a shitty part time job on the side to fund life. I've been on this site for nearly a third of my life. I dunno about anyone else but that's quite scary, particularly when I think what I did then and what I'm doing now. God knows where I'll be in another six years - still on this site no doubt, just with a lot more money and a nicer car (hopefully...).
I dunno why I made this thread. Just wondering if anyone else has ever thought about how much their life has changed in the time they've been shitting over the boards I guess. Any stories?

Tropical Storm Isaac which hit Haiti early on August 25th has brought further hardship on those who have remained internally displaced since the 2010 earthquake.
Initial assessments by the government, UN and NGOs indicate that approximately 14.000 displaced families still living in camps were affected by Isaac, mostly in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince. The shelters of 6000 people were wrecked, 1005 houses destroyed and 6040 damaged, according to the civil protection authorities.
118 camps sheltering 7673 highly vulnerable households have been prioritised for assistance by the humanitarian coordination system. Over 15,000 people had to be evacuated. While humanitarian assistance to meet urgent needs is being delivered, flooding and poor sanitary conditions bring a heightened risk of cholera.

ACT reports Class 8 net orders are up 93 percent
Published about two weeks after the end of the month, the "State of the Industry: N.A. Classes 5-8 Vehicles" report offers the most up-to-date commercial vehicle market indicators available.
July 21, 2010
Even though trucking capacity remains tight, an ongoing increase in Class 8 commercial vehicle orders and production remains strong, according to data released by ACT Research, a provider of data and analysis for trucks and other commercial vehicles.
In its "State of the Industry: Classes 5-8 Vehicles" report, ACT said net orders for Class 8 vehicles reached its highest level of the year, with a 93 percent year-over-year gain in June, which topped an 84 percent bump in May. ACT also noted that June's 15,999 Class 8 net orders were 21 percent higher than May.
ACT Vice President Steve Tam said in a statement that early second quarter reports from publicly traded truckload carriers confirm an improving freight transportation market, with revenues and profits up significantly from 2009. Tam also said that overall orders are still below replacement levels but momentum is building as profitability improves for carriers.
A typical unit replacement figure for a full year is about 200,000 Class 8 vehicles, ACT Partner and Senior Analyst Kenny Vieth recently told LM. He added that the total projection for replacement vehicles is nearly 150,000 units. In recent months, large carriers like J.B. Hunt and Con-way Freight, among others, have made significant replacement truck orders.
Even though demand is improving, the current situation is still not a case of carriers asking for "as many trucks as you can build me right now," Vieth explained. But he did say this may be coming in the next four-to-six months.
What's more, Vieth said there have been modest upside surprises on orders in the last three months, which has been encouraging from an equipment perspective.
"What has been nice from an equipment perspective is the strength of demand has hit in all north American markets—in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and up across equipment types so we have seen orders for tractors with and without sleepers going up," said Vieth. "We have seen an increase in day cab trucks, and it is kind of everything being just a little bit better than it was."
While production levels for Class 8 trucks are below replacement levels, Vieth said there continues to be an upward trend in used truck pricing. And over the past six months, he said ACT has seen a $5,000 increase in the six-month run rate it tracks over the past six months. ACT expects an increase of another $5,000 over the next three-to-five months.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) -- The Boston Marathon bombings, ricin laced letters and now the explosion at a West, Texas fertilizer plant, tragic events just days apart.
With so many disturbing images of what's going on in the world, it's easy to become emotionally overwhelmed.
Dr. Hope Hill, Associate Professor of Psychology at Howard University says even if you're not in the community where the tragedy occured you can still be affected.
Dr. Hill says it's important for parents to limit how much children see. She says this is a good time to get kids involved with projects that seem helpful such as making cards for victims.

There is a consensus over growth stimulus in the euro zone
There is a growing consensus that growth in the euro zone needs to be boosted. The recession is leading to a situation in an increasing number of countries where the fiscal deficit is no longer being reduced (
Meanwhile, despite the slowdown in domestic demand, the external deficit remains substantial in Portugal and is no longer being reduced in Spain,
So a depressive dynamic is emerging: declining activity and falling wages without any improvement in fiscal or external deficits. This has given rise to a growing view that action needs to be taken to boost growth in the euro zone. We will therefore draw up a list of policies that could stimulate growth in this region and gauge the likelihood of these being introduced.
The (possible/likely) policies to stimulate euro-zone growth
1. Faster wage growth in
Rather than an explicit economic policy, this is more the effect that full employment and high corporate profitability have on wage growth in
2. Fiscal stimulus in
Whereas other euro zone countries are having difficulty reducing their fiscal deficits,
3. European investments
It is often suggested that, since euro zone countries have no more leeway to boost their economy, stimulus needs to be carried out at the European level, either in the form of additional investments by the EIB or in the form of additional investments by European structural funds. A 10 per cent increase in investments both by the EIB and European structural funds (excluding agricultural policy) would mean an additional EUR 14 bn of investment per year.
4. Driving down long-term interest rates through ECB government bond purchases
5. A third VLTRO
The three-year repos in December 2011 and February 2012 enabled Spanish and Italian banks to obtain cheap funding at one per cent and finance massive purchases of domestic government bonds, which resulted in a temporary fall in interest rates on these bonds.
A fresh long-term repo would have two positive effects. It would help to finance the external deficits of
6. A cut in the euro repo rate
There is still some room for manoeuvre for a cut in the euro repo rate while maintaining a big enough margin between the repo rate and the deposit rate at the ECB. A 25 or 50 basis point cut in the repo rate would be justified in light of the euro zone's growth outlook and the muted rise in unit wage costs. The cut would likely lead to a depreciation of the euro and bolster growth. We have projected that a 100 basis point cut in the repo rate would increase euro zone growth by 0.2 percentage point per year for two years with a 50 basis point cut by 0.1 percentage point per year.
7. Sharp depreciation of the euro
Even after its recent fall, the euro is still overvalued by around 10 per cent.
Despite the lack of buyers, the euro is depreciating only slightly because the euro zone has no external borrowing requirement. In order to obtain a sharp depreciation of the euro, the ECB would have to accumulate substantial foreign exchange reserves (mainly in dollars) without sterilising these reserves, i.e. adopting the same policy as emerging countries,
While a depreciation of the euro would increase activity in the euro zone as a whole, it would do little to benefit the least industrialised euro zone countries (
So which measures are likely to be implemented?
Faster wage growth in
However, we do not believe Germany will introduce a fiscal stimulus package (due to the refusal by the Germans to "pay for the others"), nor will there be a reactivation of the SMP (the monetisation of public debts jars with the ECB and Germany), nor foreign-exchange interventions to drive down the euro (due to the resulting monetary creation, since it would not be sterilised).
Meanwhile, the effectiveness of a VLTRO 3 is questionable: do the banks want to buy more government bonds at a time when interest-rate risk is still high and there will be other stress tests on government bond portfolios in the future?
We are therefore left with a stimulus consisting in EUR 14 bn in wages in Germany, EUR 14 bn in European investments and a 25 to 50 bp cut in the repo rate, which could add 0.2 percentage points per year to euro zone growth at best.

Moving as a triangle, three Rifle police officers made their way down a dark, empty hallway in Graham Mesa Elementary School.
Wearing bullet proof vests, their eyes were glued to the sights on the AR-15 assault rifles held at their shoulders, ready to confront an armed gunman.
The flashlights at the end of the barrels of their rifles helped light around corners and doorways, any one of which could hide the gunman.
Up and down, back and forth, the officers cleared locked and unlocked rooms and moved on to the next one.
No gunman was inside the school, as the three-hour training exercise on Friday, March 1 was held to help prepare Rifle officers for situations that have unfortunately become too common across the nation: an armed gunman in a school building.
Sgt. Mike Kuper lead the training, wrapping up several days of classroom and this field training for a "live shooter."
"Remember, your job is to be a contact team and find the shooter," Kuper told the officers. "There's no time to help the injured. You have to keep moving."
Two main messages Kuper stressed were "the point man is never wrong," and "don't move faster than you can shoot."
"The main thing you want to remember is to always respond to any shots that are fired, it's not search as you go," Kuper told the officers.
Different kind of training
Field training like this has changed since the tragic shootings at Columbine High School more than a decade ago and others since at colleges and other schools across the nation, Kuper said.
"Before Columbine, regular officers didn't do much tactical training like this," he said. "That would be up to the SWAT teams. But we found out at Columbine that the time constraints between when regular officers arrived and the SWAT team was ready to go inside were too long. And they had communication problems between agencies."
Law enforcement agencies in Garfield County use compatible, scrambled radio systems, so those problems are eliminated, Kuper said.
Police Chief John Dyer said in an email that movement drills such as these are more complicated than they sound.
"As I said before, it goes against all police training in searching to leave areas behind us that have not been checked, so we have to use techniques that balances officer safety needs with the need to get to the trouble area as quick as possible," Dyer wrote. "That was part of the 'lessons learned' from Columbine, where the officers used standard search procedures, thus not getting to the danger area for a long time."
A retired member of the Garfield County All-Hazards Response Team, Kuper said the training follows National Tactical Officers standards and is taught at police academies in Colorado.
All Rifle patrol sergeants, detectives, lieutenants and sworn officers completed the training last week, Kuper said.
Look closely, be safe
When leaving a cleared room, Kuper reminded the officers to always stick a hand out ahead of their rifle, with a thumbs up signal, and say "coming out."
"The last thing I want to see coming out of a room is a rifle muzzle," he said. "That just gives the shooter an easy target."
When entering a room in two-man teams, Kuper said the officers needed to move through the door as closely together as possible.
In a real scenario, while the first officers on scene try to find the shooter, Kuper said the next team will focus on rescuing any citizens and treating the injured.
"We'll set up a casualty collection room where all the medical personnel can go and help anyone who needs it," Kuper said.
When it comes to locked doors, Kuper told the officers to "break your tunnel vision and really look at the door. Is it a push or pull door knob? That does make a difference in how you try to enter the room."
Corners and hallway intersections pose extra problems for officers in these situations, Kuper said.
"Because of the angles, you don't really know what you're walking into," he said.
Past movement training has taken place on shooting ranges, Kuper noted.
"I like to say we inoculate against the high stress you have in these situations by being on the range," he said. "But it's good to train in a building, too. You can go over other things that are just as important."

Who knew knew about the former Baywatch girl, but can you imagine the bachelorette party around Campus Town that included Carmen Electra and Gena Lee Nolin?
"in May 1998, but kept her name in the headlines with a June 1998 photo spread for Playboy magazine. In August of that year, Traci Bingham married musician Robb Vallier in a ceremony in his hometown of Ames, Iowa. Bridesmaids included fellow 'Baywatch' babes Carmen Electra and Gena Lee Nolin. "
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
Yeah, the reception was at Echo Valley, they brought in a HUGE tent for it...

and tune into "Extra Innings" Thursdays at 6pm on 1460kxno
I did not live too far from the church they were married in. Traci and her friends got there pretty quick from my place.

Wow - must have been a big "Ho - Down"
I wonder what kind of a musician / band ?
I grew up in the church it was held up. One of the guys in my youth group got to do all the sound system stuff for it.
Some of the bridal party came in to Hy-Vee when I worked there...
I know that a portion of the reception was at the Memorial Union as well. I saw the pics that were published.
I knew the groom's brother, Jeff Vallier while I was in Ames. Jeff was an awesome guitar player in his own right.
I had Jane Vallier, Jeff and Robb's mom, as a speech teacher at ISU. It was while they were still married and she would name drop Traci almost every class. I was pretty impressed.
He was an alum of our fraternity and they made a stop over when I was in school there.
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
I sold a car to his grandparents shortly after the wedding. They were VERY nice people. I believe his grandfather Fred passed away a few years ago.
I remember the hub-bub around town at the time was if Dennis Rodman was going to come to town since he was dating Carmen at the time. Of course he didn't.
Freddy Hoiberg and Loren Meyer made it back to town for that wedding. Too bad the weather was rotten that weekend.
She came to a wedding in Carroll when she was still married to Rob. I went to pick her up at the airport in Des Moines, and she changed in the back of the car on the way home. I may or may not have adjusted the rear view just right for that one.
Are you positive on that Rodman info? I was told by two different people that Carmen and Dennis, and the wedding party, stopped in People's inbetween the wedding and the reception.
"Never rub another man's rhubarb."
There was a time period where I tailgated with some buddies that knew Robb, so I met Traci at a tailgate......and I didn't know who she was at the time. I always laugh when I think about that still, as how could I not have known? Anyways, she was really really nice and I think the tailgating was something really new for her. She seemed to really enjoy the tailgaiting!

Abstract landscape painting by Chris Guest in the Long Gallery.
"My work can be described as contemporary abstract landscapes...the inspiration comes from my passion for travel. I attempt to bring to life the colours and landscapes I have experienced and put this on canvas. My primary aim is to create an atmosphere and feel rather than view what you see around you. I like to immerse the viewer in my paintings, whilst allowing them to imagine their own places and create an emotional response in what they see. I work primarily with oil paint on canvas using various mark making methods including scratching the canvas and sometimes applying the paint with my hands – a technique that leaves strong evidence of a human trace in the work. I like the viewer to see the movement captured within the painting and I use a variety of techniques to create this, varying from vigorous brush strokes with thick paint to thin glazes."

When starting on a skin care program, consider the importance of your first step. Cleansing serves many purposes even though many of us don't think about all of the benefits. This essential first step purifies the skin by removing cosmetics, oils, dirt and other random impurities that may have found themselves on your face during the course of the day. Cleansing also helps to eliminate dead skin cells so that they can slough off. The other advantage is that the skin is left in a state where it is able to absorb and utilize active ingredients as well as hydrators. SkinMedica Cleansers are specially formulated to purify the skin while maintaining the natural balance that is essential for healthy skin.
All SkinMedica Cleansers come in gentle formulations that perform their role without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Be sure to begin your daily skin care routine with one of the SkinMedica Cleansers in order to start with a clean slate and allow your treatment products and moisturizers to perform better. Without the right start with SkinMedica Cleansers, you won't be able to maximize on your efforts.
Skipping the cleansing process can result in a host of negative issues including dullness and breakouts. Be sure to take the time to purify your skin with SkinMedica Cleansers. This will set the stage for beautiful skin.
SkinMedica Facial Cleanser is a mild product that foams up and removes makeup and dirt as well as clogging sebum and pollutants found in our environment. Many cleansers can strip the natural oils out of the skin, leaving the complexion feeling tight and dry. SkinMedica Facial Cleanser actually hydrates as it purifies so that the skin feels balanced and comfortable. This particular cleanser contains botanical extracts to help with the purification process. These extracts are very gentle and calming on the skin. Your skin will be prepared for the next step in your skin care routine. SkinMedica Facial Cleanser complements other products by leaving the skin in an ideal state to absorb moisturizers and treatment products.
Skin that is delicate and hyper reactive needs to be extra careful when cleansing. Many popular products on the market can cause uncomfortable irritation. This is why so many sensitive types avoid the cleansing process altogether. SkinMedica Sensitive Skin Cleanser calms and soothes the skin as it washes away impurities that can lead to further irritation. This formula is loaded with gentle botanical extracts that aid in the cleansing process. SkinMedica Sensitive Skin Cleanser can be used every day for persistent irritable conditions or occasionally following a reaction or after minor cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels and laser treatments.

"map" looks really nice. Too bad you abandoned the story for it, it made me curious.
You should really finish the castle, too. It looks like something I could use in one of my dwarf settings. :-)
Good Morning Fellow Guildmembers,
This is a few of my beforementioned works of varying degrees of success in an equally varying stages of progress, using MS Paint, Photoshop CS (and in one example, Photoshop 4) and my all-time favourite tool, Fractal Terrains.
Achatia - As if you couldn't tell, I got the terrain from FT - best money I have ever spent on a program in my opinion. I dumped the Altitude and Gaia images of the same image onto Photoshop and tweaked the opacity of one or the other just to give it a bit better texture and relief. The rest of the effects were produced by randomly selecting filters on Photoshop.
Cutter's Gap - was produced for a fantasy RP (The Nether-realm) for a battle. It serves it's purpose well, despite the crude and obvious use of MS Paint!
Danesium Castle - This is most likely an aborted attempt, but I am as happy to show my mistakes and ill-conceived concepts as I am to show whatever margin of success I ever produce!
map - I've got a soft-spot for this one. I produced this entirely with an earlier version of Photoshop, for a story I aborted a long, long, long time ago. It was my first go at using a computer to draw maps, as my hand-based skills are woeful (don't tell the ladies).
Thank you all for your consideration This is why I joined the Guild - to learn and to grow!
P.S - Sorry for originally posting this in the Finished Maps directory!
"map" looks really nice. Too bad you abandoned the story for it, it made me curious.
You should really finish the castle, too. It looks like something I could use in one of my dwarf settings. :-)
The castle is one part of a larger city mapscape I am gagging to finish If I ever finish that, it would be my pride and joy and I will bandy it about appropriately!
I've got to second the idea of finishing that castle, looks pretty sweet. The others are pretty cool as well so not much for me to suggest. Good job.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

That's some pretty cool stuff Ryan. Have some rep.
Let me third... eh... Lwaxana and Ascension about the castle.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Wow, thank you all very much! I especially didn't think the Danesium castle would have received any kind of accolade!
Here's something fun that I whipped up for an play-by-post RPG, first using MS Paint, then MS Word, then Photobucket - I wasn't on my usual computer, but I am still pretty chuffed with the results hehe
I love the look of this Map great feel.
Not bad 't all, especially considering the software That must have been a bear!
Very nice map. I especially like its "dreamy" atmosphere and artistic feel.

Star Kustom Shop Bubbletop Fabrication - BubbliciousWritten by on January 1, 2011 Bubble Blowing 101
In 1960 Darryl Starbird unleashed a whole new kind of custom upon the world, the futuristic dream custom. His exemplary creation, dubbed "Predicta", was like nothing seen before. It was innovative, outlandish, and, quite frankly, out of this world. Inspired by the aerospace movements buzzing around Starbird's hometown of Wichita, Kansas, Predicta featured such advancements as dual controls, stick steering, cockpit-styled interior, and a television. Granted, all of these features mesmerized bystanders and onlookers, but what really overwhelmed audiences was the clear Lucite bubbletop. It was the kind of forward thinking only seen in comic books and the vivid minds of science fiction. Yep, this fresh idea of a bubbletop spiraled the hot rod world into a bubble frenzy.
Here we are 50 years later and bubbletops still create the same shock and awe reaction in the rod and custom world. (On a side note, a big part of that is because the jet packs, laser guns, and flying cars predicted years ago have fallen ... let's just say shorter than Britney Spear's skirt!) Their uniqueness and creativity still captivate and draw in audiences, yet what intrigues viewers even more than the clear domes themselves is the mystique of, "How'd they do that?"
For starters, bubbletops are one-off creations designed for each vehicle. The process begins by creating a tool based around the perimeter of the bubble. Once the perimeter of the bubble is determined, the height is designed into the tool. Next, a piece of Lucite plastic is baked in an oven and placed under the tool. (By the way, urban myths about bubbletops and pizza ovens are exactly that, myths. Lucite tops require large sheets, beginning at 6x6 feet and counting; therefore Luigi's Pizzeria oven is outta the question.) Once heated, the Lucite and tool are clamped together, and air pressure is used to free-blow the Lucite sheet into its bubble form.
Contrary to what some may think, vacuum forming isn't the way to go. Vacuum-forming Lucite will give one the desired shape, but that's the extent of it. In order to take shape the Lucite must be pulled down into a mold, and once the Lucite hits the buck its impressionable state will take the form of the surface and produce all kinds of wrinkles, waviness, and distortion. (Imagine looking through a square block glass wall at a '60s diner.) Basically, the optics of the bubble are ruined during the vacuum-forming process. For that reason free-blowing is the only way to go. It not only blows the desired shape, it also maintains the optics.
The last step of creating a bubbletop is trimming the bubble and creating a ring. When it's all said and done it's not exactly rocket science, or is it? You be the judge!
Shedding some light in the form of a Kodak moment is Star Kustom Shop and the innovator himself, Darryl Starbird. One of Starbird's creations from the '60s, the "Ultra Truck", is in the Star Kustom Shop for a new bubble. On the ensuing pages we'll dig into the bubble process-which is the same process Starbird designed and engineered clear back in 1959-by creating a new bubble for the Ultra. The process will be revealed from start to finish; including creating the form, building a tool, blowing the bubble, and trimming and fitting the bubble. Yep, the method of mayhem behind the bubble will be uncovered Perry Mason style!

Bubbletops are free-blown, which means they can be blown to the desired height. Measuring from the base of the bubble to the peak in the canopy gives us our height. Normally the height would be set to where one would want it.The height for this bubble wound up being 17 1/2 inches, therefore the framework around the tool was built to that height. From the top of the plywood to the bottom edge of the upper 2x4 is 17 1/2 inches.Ensuring the bubble is blown smooth, Starbird sands the plywood ring. Also, any cracks-like the butt joint of the two patterns-are filled with wood putty. The base of the tool needs to be air tight, or the bubble will lose air pressure during the blowing process and the shape may not take the correct form.Darryl uses Plastic Fabricators, in Tulsa, OK, to blow his bubbles. The first step for Jack and the gang is to create a blowing base for the bubble tool. From there the Lucite plastic is placed in the oven (the giant-sized green box in the background) and heated at 350 degrees until the perfect elasticity is achieved. Once the temp is reached, the plastic is pulled from the oven and placed on the table.The bubble for the Ultra is as simple as it gets, it's just a true bubble that gets cut down to size. For more complex bubbles, like the bubble on Starbird's "Forcasta", a little more engineering goes into the tool. Here is a tool for a shaped bubble. Notice how the opening at the rear of the tool is cut to form a double-bubble effect. To set height and add contour, a restrictor is placed down the middle (note arrow). When the bubble is blown it will rise up and hit the restrictor. As the bubble rises it will blow up and around the restrictor giving the bubble its shape. A tool like this will give the double effect like the Forcasta's.Next, the tool is placed atop the Lucite and clamped to the table, and once clamped, air pressure is blown into the bubble. Here you can see how the bubble is flowing up the restrictor and tapering off into a double-bubble effect. Once the Lucite reaches the end of the restrictor the pressure will be stopped and the bubble will have reached its full shape. As for the bubble on the Ultra, once the middle point of the bubble comes within 1/4 inch of 17 1/2-inch mark (the upper 2x4), the pressure will be stopped.With the bubble removed it was time to start trimming. Some bubbles require the full bubble, as pictured. Yet, the Ultra Truck is only half a bubble with a sheetmetal canopy making up the rest of it. Using a router outfitted with a 3/16-inch straight-cut bit, Starbird cut the bubble down the middle.
Once placed on the truck it was clear a bit of trimming was in order. Using some tape the trim marks were made. (Also, due to the nostalgic factor of the original top, we're creating the bubble to fit the canopy, however, normally the bubble would be trimmed accordingly, and then the canopy would be made to fit the bubble.)All bubbles require a ring around the perimeter. Using 1/2-inch conduit, I created an outer ring following the previously made inner ring.Sheetmetal is used to skin the ring. With the bubble still in place the skin was tacked throughout the ring. Once everything was tacked together the bubble was removed and the ring was welded solid.Every bubbletop needs an actuator to lift the canopy. Electric screw jacks or linear actuators work best. One, they supply ample power to lift the canopy; and two, unlike air or hydraulics, there is no chance of the top "bleeding" down when left up. The actuator shown here is the Ultra's original. A great place to pick one up nowadays is from AutoLoc.The last step is to dress the ring. Starbird dresses the ring on the car; therefore the fitment can be narrowed down for an exact match to the body. Once the ring is dressed, it's primed and then later painted. All the while, the bubble never leaves the ring.Black urethane window-weld is the easiest and safest way to secure the bubble to the ring-Lucite cracks very easy when drilled or screwed. When gluing the bubble in place it's important the ring is lying in its resting position. Gluing the ring off the car is most likely going to result in the ring being in a bind and not lying properly.

Let's just use Tebow for the remaining 3 preseason games, get him to become more servicable with reps and save our better 2 QB's for the real games!
To be fair to Tebow, if his skill set(scrambling,running,throwing deep) was nurtured by BB he could be effective at leading the offense. Well maybe not, I think Brady and Mallet are wayyy ahead of Tebow.
Opinions for % of QB reps for whom in the next 3 preseason games?

The Cloud-Ready System Network
Today's competitive business needs are driving the development of cloud-based data centers that are more cost-effective, agile, and scalable than ever before. Cloud computing places higher demands on the system network in areas such as speed, flexibility, virtualization, cost-effective operation and scalability. To meet the technical and business requirements of cloud computing, the networking layer of a cloud must offer high bandwidth and low latency, converged communications and storage, agile networks for virtual machine mobility, massive scalability and manageability and advanced energy efficiency.
The essential attributes of a cloud network include terabit scalability, predictable low latency, non-blocking throughput and high-speed interconnects using 1/10GbE and the emerging 40/100GbE. For example, the new IBM BNT RackSwitch G8264 delivers throughput of up 1.28 Terabits per second and with its single-chip architecture, low latency is delivered across all port combinations. To bring even more bandwidth to the cloud, the RackSwitch G8264 is among the industry's first top-of-rack switches with 40GbE interconnects.
One of the main advantages of cloud computing is on-demand access to resources, and virtualization plays a key role in providing those resources. IBM System Networking's VMready network virtualization software enables cloud computing infrastructures with mobile, active virtual machines. Cloud computing users can gain even greater advantages from mobile virtual machines when they can be moved securely and with predictable performance not only within a cloud, but over greater distances to connect multiple clouds. Movement between clouds enables applications such as disaster recovery and data replication.
Today, cloud computing environments are deploying IT infrastructure on an unprecedented scale – data centers are expanding from 5,000 to 50,000 and 100,000 servers. For such scale-out architectures, the system network must deliver the high-density networking required to support highly consolidated and massively virtualized data center infrastructures. Today's "flat" network topologies enabled through standards such as TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) are key to this scalability.
Power and cooling are some of the biggest expenses of operating a cloud data center. A common estimate for data center cooling and distribution costs is two watts for every single watt consumed by data center equipment and networking gear is 10 to 15% of the entire infrastructure —so choosing the most energy-efficient network components is essential. As clouds grow to thousands of servers and beyond, per-component power savings are magnified into hundreds of thousands of kilowatts.
From a business perspective, the system network architecture for today's cloud computing applications must support incremental deployment that does not require razing an existing facility and building a new one. And as new pieces of the cloud are fitted into place, IT managers don't want to be locked into a single-vendor implementation for any aspect of the solution. They want the freedom to select best-in-class hardware and software components, and they want to deploy new capacity as rapidly as possible. For example, IBM has extended Tivoli's virtualization management capabilities so that it can provision and deploy hundreds or thousands of virtual machines an hour for large-scale enterprise cloud implementations.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Bob Costas unveiled the Stan "the Man" Musial statue at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center Friday.
The statue is part of the 2013 Homers for Health home run pledge program, which is sponsored by Peabody Energy and benefits the hospital. It's led by Matt Holliday, David Freese, and Allen Craig, and asks fans to make pledges for home runs during regular season games. The pledges can be as little as $0.25.
Players honored Stan Musial this year with the special Stan "the Man" memorial pledge of $6 per home run. Those who pledged that amount or more are on the statue, overlaid in front of pictures from Musial's life.
The statue was fully funded by Richard Winter, president of Garden View Care Centers.

Hough defeats Independence (28-27) in HUGE Win!
Hough had plenty to celebrate, but seem determined not to make this game the season's zenith. The Huskies (4-0) are envisioning playing for a conference title, making a deep playoff run and ultimately, a championship. It's not a pipe dream, not when you rally to beat one of Charlotte's marquee programs (Independence won seven state titles from 2000-06). Hough, trailing 27-21, marched 77 yards for the winning score last in the fourth quarter. There was absolutely nothing fancy about it, nor much Independence could do to stop it.

June 1, 2016
The 2012 hurricane season has come to an end and it's another one for the record books, above and beyond the destruction of Sandy.
There were 19 named storms in what meteorologists consider an above-average year that tied as being the third most-active season since 1851.
Even without a so-called major storm reaching the U.S. there was plenty of damage. A storm is classed as major once its top sustained winds reach 111 miles per hour.
Seven years have now gone by without a major hurricane making U.S. landfall, the longest stretch on record.
Sandy morphed from hurricane to Superstorm on its way to wreaking havoc across the Northeast.
It left millions without power and killed at least 125 people in the U.S. and 71 in the Caribbean.
