Approved Minutes of October 10, 1997 UCAPC meeting.
Report of the Writing Across the Curriculum Committee:
The 1997-98 WAC Committee will have its first meeting on October 31 or November 7. At that meeting we will begin discussion of an especially important activity the committee has been charged by the WAC Document to carry out: designing and implementing an overall evaluation plan for the WAC program. Preliminary discussions with a small group of faculty from the colleges affected by WAC took place September 9-11, and the suggestions gathered there will be presented to the committee.
Course Modification (M) and Inventory (I) Requests Reviewed:
Other Business:
The committee discussed the potential problems arising from undergraduate courses listed in the catalog and being officially designated as Writing Intensive but not being offered or listed as Writing Intensive according to the Fall 97 and Winter 98 class schedules. The problem may be isolated as it arose with respect to a only a couple courses thus far. The WACC will review the matter from the broader perspective of the WAC Program.
The committee discussed the desirability of developing new course modification and inventory request forms. The discussion centered around the need for better information regarding specific course requests and the impact or role of such requests within and/or across college and university programs. In addition, it would be desirable to develop more user friendly forms to assist departments and colleges in the submission of their requests.
The committee scheduled its next meeting for Thursday, November 13 at 2:30 p.m. in 032 Rike Hall.

Lorek Okleth: The path of a Jedi
Episode 1: The Lost Child
The human tradesman Kylon Dell had just pulled Last Hope out of hyperspace, having detected a small freighter drifting that was sending out a distress signal. Odd that the imperial patrols had not picked up on this sooner. No matter, he swung the YT 1300 toward the freighter, grabbing the intercom and calling into it Sa-Rah get up here honey, looks like we got something we should look into.. better hurry up too, before the empire comes in and ruins the party. The young woman came into the cockpit, sitting herself next to her husband, as he looked over the scanners, raising an eyebrow looks like ion blasts damaged the engines.. ship is intact.. cant get a clear reading on life forms though.. you think we will find survivors?. Kylon nodded, muttering Lets hope damn space pirates, can never be safe these days.. even with Imperial patrols, they got a lot of nerve what are we paying taxes for anyway?. He watched through the window of the cockpit as they steadily approached the freighter, and he began the docking procedures
Dead bodies had littered the interior of the other ship. According to the computer, this freighter was headed for Coruscant, and 12 of the 22 passengers were unaccounted for, probably taken as slaves by the pirates. Whatever cargo they had been carrying, it was gone. They had all but given up on searching for survivors.. when suddenly they heard something . It sounded like a child weeping. They found a hidden cargospace under the seats in the cockpit there within, was a young boy of 6 years old, sitting in there, his little angelic copper brown eyes liquidly with tears, cheeks smeered, his short golden brown hair was tosseled and left in a mess. He looked up towards Kylon then passed out from blood loss. He sat next to some odd electronic safe. Cross referencing him with the passengerlist, they found him to be the only child on the ship, and his name was Lorek Okleth. Without hesitation, they took him into their ship along with the safe, and flew off.. leaving the rest for the imperial patrols to handle
Episode 2: The Past Wrongs
Kylon had worked weeks on getting that damn safe cracked and it wasnt getting any easier. Finally, through a stroke of luck, he had cracked the safe, and then something odd happened. It flipped open, and a soft human male voice was heard Lorek, when you are hearing this, it means you have come of age, and you may or may not have the gift. Me and your mother would like you to know of your heritage, and give you this gift, a family heirloom to either use in the name of good and correct the past wrongs that have tainted our family for four millenia, or as a gift to pass on to your children the sound of electronics activating along with a soft hum, as a compartment opened, and a silver cylinder with black gripping and a bronze plate on it depicting some odd symbol was elevated out of the safe. Kylon blinked, and didnt recognise it but he realised one thing.. he had made a mistake. This was truly Loreks and if they were planning on keeping him, raising him as their own child, which he had spoken with Sa-Rah about, then he had to relock this safe, and keep it for Lorek.. and that was just what he did Unfortunately, as he tried, the safe malfunctioned, and the audio recording was lost .
Episode 3: Young Lorek
Growing up was not always easy for Lorek in his youth. He had always carried a sad, distant look in those icy cool ocean blue eyes of his, and didnt always get along with other children. Sa-Rah loved him as her own sun, and the Dells had taken him in as their own child, raising him as best they could.. but it was always his eyes that bothered them. Those little eyes, that seemed to stare out, and accuse the world of wronging him so by stealing his identity, stealing his parents from him. He eventually began to accumulate an interest for all sorts of sports, just to go and take his mind off his own sadness. He played well in teams, and had a raw athletic potential that was rare. He grew with the love that was given him, and he loved his adoptive parents completely. He grew healthy, and strong wiry, and with the grace of a feline. Something within him, maybe it was just his genes, or the immense activities in sports, but whatever it was, it gave him amazing athletic potential. He began being taught how to pilot. His eyes where like all of his race providing him with peripheral vision of great length and great sight at night. He was scorned and shunned treated like a freak at the different little schools he went to and he could not help but wish maybe he was just human. He had is right wing replaced with a mechanical wing that was made lightweight and attached to the nervous system of his spine providing him with good aerial maunveribility. It would take some time to get used to but he eventually learned to like it. On his 9th birthday his mother developed a strap like suspenders that hooked on to him and made his wings kind of folded down and be hidden with in a kind of a space aged trench coat with 2 slits in the back that if he had to he just pressed a small round button on his belt and his wings would slide out of the coat. His right wing was painted a golden brown and gray to make it looks more like his real feathered one. He had a friend who could draw real well. He would also try to help his parents out by keeping inventory for them, and from those countless hours of pushing heavily loaded repulsor lifts, and having to sometimes to heave the crates himself into place, he became decent muscles and so those young years flew by and he became a teenager . And it was in his teens, that his life began to change
Episode 4: The Force is in Him
It began innocently.. small objects would get knocked off shelves in his passing without him touching them.. or his reflexes being almost above human. But then more objects began to fall, or get tossed across the room when Lorek would get frustrated. His adoptive parents began to fear for him, as they knew what the Empire did with those that were talented in the Force. They began to hide him from company, not taking him anymore on cargo runs not wanting the imperial patrol to catch him and take him from them. Finally, it was by chance, that on a far off space station on the outer rim, that they met a Jedi Knight.. a rogue that had managed to escape the empires wrath. He seemed but an old man with a grey beard, but he promised to take care of Lorek. His name was Logan Keel, and he wise gentle grey eyes, and an easy smile. They brought him to Lorek, the young Okleth was 15 at the time, and slowly developing into a handsome young man. It was then.. that Kylon revealed to Lorek the treasure chest .
Kylon and Sa-Rah had called Lorek in to meet Logan in the dining room. Supper was ready, and the odd safe was placed in the middle of it all. The young Lorek walked into the room, with those haunted sad eyes of his, as he took his seat, smilling as he looked to his parents, speaking softly Mama, Papa, who is that man?. Kylon answered softly Someone who can help you Lorek this man is Logan Keel, a Jedi Knight . Logan nodded, giving the youth a warm smile. Lorek blinked, adding but.. Jedi arent they bad?. Logan shook his head, smilling softly unfortunately, sometimes good and evil are a mater of perspective. No, we are not.. we used to be the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.. and now, we are but rogues, fleeing for our lives . Kylon opened the safe for Lorek, adding We found this with you Lorek.. your parents would want you to have it. Logan watched, he already knew the contents of the safe, and he recognised the name Okleth, but this young boy had so much potential, and when Kylon had told him what the message had said, he insisted on training the boy. Lorek picked up the medallion in his hands and studied it. Something weird happened and the medallion began to glow orange and then Lorek screamed as it burnt the symbol onto his hand. When the medallion finely finished burning it dissolved into a soft dust. Lorek stared at his his hand and the weird symbol that was shaped with a V and an eye in the center of the V with 4 lightsaber surrounding the V making a sort of square like circle around it.
Chapter 5: Pain is but a Memory
Lorek was in a flight simulator practicing flying an x wing and doing really well at it when there ship was hit by an ion blast and the simulator shorted out giving him a nasty stun and sent him flying to the floor. He watched as his mother and father scrambled to get control of the ship. They started to get pulled into the enemy Star Destroyer by a tractor beam. The second they where boarded his dad opened fire open some storm troopers and his mother joined in with a blaster rifle. 23 dead storm troopers later his mother and dad where shot and killed in the crossfire as more troopers flooded the hangar. Logan sighed and smiled to lorek and then ignited his saber and rushed forward. Lorek rann outside using the blaster rifle as best he could and then he heard a voice in his head as well as a feeling in his gut your destiny is a lot more important then some old fossilised jedi. Steal a Tie fighter and make it Kashykk and you will know what to do from there. Rember the Shun-Chien Martial arts fighting style along with the Mieng-Kra medition rituals and you will soon find your way in this world long Lorek.. May the force be with you. Lorek did as he was told and managed to escape the hangar and only sustain minimal damage to the tie fighter. He had no idea what happened to Logan but assumed that he had died in the fight with some storm troopers.
He crash landed on kashykk and managed to bum around from cantina to cantina making money as best he could until he befriended a wookie names SpewBacca. The wookie taught him a lot about mechanical engineering and Lorek relised what a genius this wookie was and then decided they should be friends. They hung out for the better part of 9 months until Lorek caught a luck break and was hired at the age of 16 to be a copilot on a small transport delivering Cerzka Mining Equipment to Magrok 4. A small gas planet in the outer rims. When he came back from the trip he realised that his wookie friend had gone missing and he knew how uncharacteristic it was of spew because he would never miss Loreks Birthday. So he spent all the credits he had and threw on his special coat and took his backpack with a few supplies of food in it and some glow rods and is heading to Dantooian where he heard the last ship that left the planet was headed to with his friend.
Now having no ship made it very hard on Lorek because he knew how good a pilot he was and how good at some martial arts he was but if he was going to make it in this galaxy he would have to find himself an X-wing since that is what he had the most experience in a simulator with. His small mechanical skills taught to him by the wookie. Last wit his intuition and this strange feeling he played a much bigger part in this war with the empire then he realised.

Despicable Me: Minion Rush Review
Temple Run has a lot to answer for. Since the monumental success of the 3D auto-runner, it has become the default template for developers looking to score an accessible, family-friendly hit. Despicable Me: Minion Rush is the latest Gameloft movie tie-in to follow this trend. You take control of one of Gru's yellow helpers, whom you must direct left and right, up, and down towards collectable bananas, and away from oncoming hazards. If you've ever played an endless runner, you know ex…Watch The Video Review
Pinball Rocks HD iPad Review
Pinball Rocks HD is an odd franchise. On the surface, it's a free-to-play pinball title, featuring a selection of purchasable rock 'n roll-themed tables. However, browse through the song selection menu, and you discover the trappings of a music game, one which is keen for you to shell out cash for extra tunes. In actual fact, the expandable soundtrack is just that: a soundtrack. The only way music impacts gameplay is thematically. While the basic free-to-play table is dressed in gener…Watch The Video Review
Color Zen Review
Sometimes it's amazing how far you can push a premise. Take Color Zen, for example. You are presented with a series of coloured shapes. By moving shapes of the same colour together, you can dye the background the same hue,. This also eliminates the shapes from the field of play. The goal is to eventually reach the colour on the edges of the stage, leaving nothing but a single shade. A simple premise. Some would say, "too simple", but through some very competent design, flui…Watch The Video Review
Gangstar Vegas Review
Gangstar Vegas is a textbook example of generation loss. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it describes the loss of quality that occurs when something is copied. In the case of the Gangstar franchise, the source material is clearly Grand Theft Auto. For Gangstar Vegas, Gameloft has transplanted the shooting, mugging, and carjacking action of its GTA wanabee franchise to Nevada's infamous Vegas Strip. This is presumably in an effort to inject some colour and fun into the s…Watch The Video Review
World War Z Review
World War Z is a conflicted game. On the one hand, its developer has tried to revamp the first-person shooter genre by creating a new control system tailor-made for touchscreen devices. But, while the controls may be progressive, the gameplay all too frequently lapses into uninspired - and frankly quite tedious - shoot and collect missions. It's not all bad news, though. In fact, World War Z's drab, grey surface betrays stabs or real colour and excitement. The game is probably at is s…Watch The Video Review
Skiing Fred Review
If one were to categorise videogame characters based on luck, Dedalord games' Fred would certainly be among those at the extreme bad end of the spectrum. Having survived videogames based on falling while avoiding hazardous ways to die, and running while avoiding hazardous ways to die, we now have Skiing Fred, who must ski down a mountain, while avoiding hazardous ways to die. This is another endless runner that's graduated from the Temple Run school of gameplay. You tilt the iPhone or…Watch The Video Review
Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright Trilogy HD Review
It's been over two years since Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was released on the App Store, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the next two chapters in this trilogy ever since. Well the good news is that And Justice For All and Trails and Tribulations have arrived as part of the Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright Trilogy HD. The bad news is that while the graphics have been sharpened up, there are a few niggling issues that do bring the whole experience down a little. The games ar…Watch The Video Review
Tetris® Blitz iPad Review
Tetris will never die. The granddaddy of all block puzzlers is the quintissential example of a timeless game, one which transcends arbitrary divides such as age brackets and console generations. The latest iteration of the tetromino twirling title is Tetris Blitz. Designed for touchscreens, its puts a high-speed spin on the classic formula in the hope of injecting even more urgency into each round. Rather than guiding blocks and clearing lines until your stack hits the top of the scr…Watch The Video Review
Chuck the Muck Review
Chuck yourself before you muck yourself! Sorry about that, but with a game title like Chuck the Muck it can be difficult not to make jokes. The title is also sort of misleading. Yes the game does indeed contain a muck, and as it is a physics flinger, there is certainly a high level of chucking, but the muck must be fed crystals (three in each level to be precise), and so the critter you control is the one being chucked around these single screen puzzles. The muck just looks on, and giv…Watch The Video Review
Dig! Review
What recourse does a failed archaeologist have when the museum funding him is hurting for business? Well as a last ditch effort (get it?), he might try and set up a dig site in his backyard, excavating the wonders of the Earth to be put on display, and the further he digs, the more valuable treasures he hopes to find. Dig is an arcade game where your shovel must excavate seventy five percent of the plot of land you have, hopefully discovering the five treasures hidden there before mov…Watch The Video Review
Dark Avenger Review
In the last few years, the ARPG has exploded in popularity. For most of the 2000s, gamers were either playing Diablo II or one of the few games made to emulate it. This explosion in popularity even has the progenitor Diablo finding itself ill equipped to make a huge splash in the new market. It's of no surprise then that plenty of developers have tried to bring this style of game to IOS. These entires have met with various levels of success, and now Gamevil is throwing their hat into t…Watch The Video Review
Tiny Troopers 2: Special Ops Review
The first Tiny Troopers is a game we missed reviewing when it was released last year. Well now that the sequel is out, we can amend that error. Many comparisons have been made of this series to the early nineties action series Cannon Fodder, and that comparison is quite apt indeed. You take control of a number of tiny troopers (as the name would suggest) who move, fire, and duck out of the way of enemy projectiles as a cohesive unit. You have primary and secondary objectives to achieve…Watch The Video Review
The House of the Dead: Overkill™- The Lost Reels Review
The House of the Dead Overkill was released on the Wii in 2009. The 5th entry in the infamous rail shooter arcade mainstay franchise, this console exclusive diverged from its source material, creating a grindhouse aesthetic with ridiculous over the top characters, plot twists, and more swearing that even Grand Theft Auto is used to. Now in 2013 we have The Lost Reels for the iOS platform, where you take control of either Agent G or Isaac Washington as you blast through deleted scenes,…Watch The Video Review
Iron Man 3 - The Official Game Review
The Iron Man franchise is one of cinema's heavy hitters, and thus you can always expect a tie-in videogame to accompany it. The previous movies have all had game tie-ins, and like with most Gameloft releases, they have been of a certain level of quality. Not fantastic, but definitely playable and enjoyable in their own way. Now the last game was a 3D action brawler but since then the endless runner has become the go-to genre on the App Store, so no points if you guessed this is what Ir…Watch The Video Review

Well the usual mantra for sequels is more of the same, but bigger and better, and while that is certainly the case here, they've l…Watch The Video Review

Artists find opportunity to show their work at Art By The Ferry festival in June
Staten Island may be known as a borough of parks, but to those who know our community well, it could also be dubbed a borough of arts. "We have musicians, writers, painters…we have an incredible community here," said Joyce Malerba Goldstein, founder and president of the non-profit organization Staten Island Creative Community.
Goldstein, a sculptor and painter herself, notes that while there has never been a problem finding talent on the island, the real dilemma was finding spaces for exhibits and performances. "I did a survey to see where the needs were, and the needs were venues; artists were constantly looking for studio space and opportunities to show their work," said Goldstein, whose organization collaborates with the business community to take un-leased spaces and turn them into temporary galleries and performance spaces.
It was from that survey and further discussions among local artists like Goldstein and her husband, Dr. Ira Goldstein—well as groups like the Staten Island Creative Community— that Art by the Ferry was born. The free annual outdoor festival (now in its fifth year) brings together approximately 180 diverse artists, including photographers, musicians, performers, writers, and film makers, and gives them the opportunity to show their work. This year, the festival will run Friday, June 8 through Sunday, June 10, and approximately 4,000 visitors are expected to visit its various venues throughout St. George, including 60 Bay Street, 70 Bay Street (Art at Bay), Paulo Park (adjacent to Borough Hall), and the platform of the Staten Island Ferry.
On opening night, guests will be treated to a buffet-style dinner at 60 Bay St. at 7 p.m. for a moderate donation of $20. Restaurants donating food for the fund-raising dinner include 120 Bay Café (formerly The Cargo), Pier 76, Enoteca Maria, Karl's Klipper, and Beso. During the festival, which starts on Saturday and Sunday at 12 noon, there will also be plenty of musical performances, from WaFoo to Joan Caddell and the Midnight Choir to The Shirts, thanks to Alvin Card and Hiroko Otani, music coordinators for the event.
In addition to art and music, there will be environmental workshops, storytelling, and even crafts, coordinated by Janet Rispoli. There will also be comedy, poetry, and spoken word in the Courtyard of the Staten Island Museum at 75 Stuyvesant Place. Crystal Raso, a founder of the spoken word group the Eargasms, is curating writers and comedians who will be performing in the courtyard on June 9. Nancy Richards, a freelance comedian, will be curating comic shows at Karl's Klipper and 120 Bay on June 8 and 9.
Goldstein notes that the event is truly a team effort, as so many support it, including the Council on the Arts and Humanities for Staten Island (COAHSI) and NY & Co. Foundation, which both provide grants as well as a host of volunteers. Among the volunteer coordinators of the event are Marilyn Kiss, exhibition committee chair; Jessica Capuozzo and Helen Levin, who work on grants; Teresa Marks, who handles membership and grants, and Elaine Mendez-Torres, a mixed media artist in charge of public relations. Graphic artist Robert Padovano is also instrumental to the festival, as he designs everything from the event's posters and fliers to its logo.
"The [Staten Island] ferry is the third biggest tourist attraction in the city of New York," noted Goldstein, She added that ferry-to-festrival proximity helps show tourists and others traveling to the borough what we've long known—that the arts are thriving here, and that a vibrant creative community can only put wind in the sails of the real estate boom on the shore.

A whole host of musical options await this weekend. And the weather should remain just about perfect. Let's look at some of the highlights and a few things worth passing by:
Thursday night, '90s rockers Toad the Wet Sprocket play at Gallivan Center, the first of three shows there this weekend. Tickets are $25 and remain on sale.
A more countrified option is Thursday at The State Room when famed Nashville picker Darrell Scott makes a rare stop in SLC along with his brothers. Tickets are $25 and there is also a dinner option available with The State Room's nearby neighbor, Sapa for $40.
On Friday, bluegrass mandolin icon Sam Bush will also be at the new Gallivan Center in a free show. This was originally slated for June 9, but was postponed because of construction issues. For folks who turn up their noses at bluegrass - and you know who you are - Bush is still worth investigating. He always tours with a drummer - a bluegrass heresy - and usually is good for a batch of Bob Marley covers and maybe even some Led Zep or other rock radio staple. Bush knows how to entertain a crowd.
Saturday provides a chance for fans of '90s rockers Stone Temple Pilots to see the band in a 1,000-seat hall as they make their Wendover debut at the Peppermill Concert Hall. Tickets are $40 and remain on sale.
Alleged country singer Kenny Chesney will be at USANA Ampitheater in West Valley City on Saturday. Go, if you must. Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker (?!?) are the openers. Music starts at 7 p.m.
Also Saturday night, video wunderkind Chris Isaak and road warriors Blues Traveller will be at Spring Mobile Ballpark starting at 6:30 p.m. This is a relatively rare chance to see music at the ballpark and should be a fun night.
And if you end up down in Utah County, you could check out '70s rockers Kansas at American Fork High School. Tickets start at $16 for adults and $8 for children ages 9 to 16.
Over at the Urban Lounge, Maus Haus performs Saturday along with Night Sweats and Palace of Buddies. Tickets are $8.
And Sunday night, North Carolina's bluegrass pop-rockers The Avett Brothers will play at Gallivan. Tickets are $35. The Avetts are seemingly a love/hate proposition and while I haven't seen them before - which is apparently essential - I'm curious to see how the sometimes gushy lyrics blend with the impressive harmonies and downhome twang. Watch for a review here early Monday.
And speaking of the Gallivan Center, don't forget Friday is when additional tickets are released for Adele's makeup show. These extra 4,000 or so seats will probably go as quickly as the first 1,000 did when this was slated for The Depot. (Adele currently has two albums in the Top 40) If I were going, I wouldn't dawdle. Adele's chart-topping exploits and soulful voice are quite well known, so I'll mention the following: As a bonus, living legend Wanda Jackson's been added as the opener. Jackson played a downright stunning show at The State Room back in March and her album, "The Party Ain't Over," produced by Jack White, is worth picking up as well.

What would it have been like to be a pilgrim, fight in the American Revolution, or be one of the very first presidents? Why don't you let your child find out by letting him or her wear one of our patriotic children's costumes? He or she can wear the clothes that an everyday person would have worn in the 1700s, dress up as a specific historical figure, or show American pride with a star and stripe filled outfit.
Because of the courageous soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the American colonies were able to separate themselves from the oppression they faced under English rule. Before this, Americans suffered unjust treatment such as being unreasonably taxed without having the right to vote and being forced to house British soldiers. With our assortment of colonial soldier costumes, your child can imagine him or herself as one of the brave people who helped to free our country.
Your child can also be one of the many citizens who helped to farm, build towns, and shape our nation. From Native Americans to colonial Americans and pilgrims, we have all of the costumes you'll need to make it happen. Your child can also use these outfits to imagine that they're a memorable person like Paul Revere, Nathan Hale, or George Washington.
Whichever historic American your child chooses to be, our large variety of children's patriotic costumes will let them be that person. Order yours today, and take a glance at our patriotic accessories as well!

Freshman of the Week Hannah Kaminsky recorded 51 assists and 15 digs on Friday night in Evansville.
Oct. 18, 2013
EVANSVILLE, Ind.— The Salukis used a steady offensive pace and contributions from multiple attackers to take down Evansville in four sets Friday, 18-25, 25-23, 25-20, 25-17.
Jessica Whitehead, Meg Viggars and Elly Braaten recorded double-digit kills to help the Salukis (11-10, 6-3 MVC) to their fourth consecutive win. Whitehead led the team in kills recording 18 while Viggars and Braaten each punched in 13.
Creating the opportunity for the hitters to swing successfully was Hannah Kaminsky. The reining Freshman of the Week recorded her ninth double-double of the season compiling 15 digs and 51 assists.
The Salukis only misstep of the night occurred in the first set as Evansville (7-13, 2-7 MVC) was able to pull away with a late set lead. The two teams traded points with nine lead changes before the shifting momentum favored the home team. UE was able to sting together four multiple-point runs at the conclusion of the set to record its only set win of the night, 18-15.
The second set of the night was a back and forth contest consisting of four lead changes with the score tying 14 times. The score tied as late as 19. SIU had to fight its way to the finish as UE answered each point the Salukis scored. Southern was able to find a two-point spread to close out the second match with help from a Taylor Pippen kill and an Evansville error to lead the match 2-1.
Southern dominated the final two sets. The Salukis had a monster fourth set posting an impressive hitting percentage of .406 and capitalizing on five separate 3-0 runs to see their biggest win of the night.

of the world of Christian theology is attempted here in a way much
different from the usual long narratives. This time it happens in the
midst of frank conversations among theological greats of the present
and recent past. No one gets to ramble on alone, free of others who
have differing persuasions and experiences. You are invited to come
on in and listen.
In Heart
of the Matter, twenty-one voices are heard in all. Each voice
represents wide experience and is full on conviction this is heard
respectfully by the others. These conversations are informed and
sometimes rather personal exchanges, although never yelling matches of
the immature and undisciplined. Comments made are carefully
referenced to published sources.
conversation participants cross lines of century, culture, gender, and
Christian tradition, and they represent both the "mainline" and out
boundaries of the Christian theological community. Truth is where you
find it, and it's hardly God's eternal truth if it cannot withstand
the shifting winds of lively and well-informed conversation. Rather
than just rambling, these spirited conversations are in search of the
heart of the matter, the core of truth, the foundations of Christian

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
Two employees of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM-T) who are facing allegations of participating in a widespread insider trading scheme have been suspended by the bank.
The Ontario Securities Commission unveiled a sweeping case late Thursday, accusing prominent Bay Street lawyer Mitchell Finkelstein of passing along tips about pending takeover deals to CIBC traders Paul Azeff and Korin Bobrow, who worked in the Montreal office of CIBC World Markets Inc.
"As a result of the charges filed by the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission yesterday, these two individuals have been suspended immediately," CIBC said in a statement early Friday. "We have and will continue to co-operate fully with the OSC investigation."
The bank said it would make no further comment on the case at this time. No charges have proven, and the men at the centre of the allegations could not be immediately reached for comment.
Finkelstein and Azeff were long-time friends and former fraternity brothers. Bobrow was a business partner of Azeff and worked exclusively with him at CIBC. The two men had a private compensation arrangement at the bank to reflect their respective client split of their annual trading activity, according to the OSC allegations.
Azeff and Bobrow worked as retail brokers at CIBC and did not deal with institutional clients.
The OSC alleges Finkelstein held a series of private meetings with Azeff between 2004 and 2007 after learning about takeover deals he was either working on or that he learned about after searching the documents management system at Davies.
After each deal, the OSC alleges, Finkelstein made cash deposits of $50 and $100 bills to his two bank accounts. The commission has not revealed how much money was deposited in his accounts.
Finkelstein is a former partner at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP in Toronto, working in the firm's corporate finance and securities practice and in its mergers and acquisitions practice.
Sources said he left the firm Thursday shortly before the OSC allegations were released.
Both the bank and the law firm were alerted months ago that they were the subject of an OSC insider trading investigation, according to sources, but they did not know any details about the case until it became public Thursday.
In a statement late Thursday, Davies managing partner Shawn McReynolds said the firm has co-operated fully with the OSC.
"We have reviewed the allegations and have concluded they are isolated to actions allegedly taken years ago by one individual who is no longer with the firm," he said.
The OSC alleges Finkelstein passed along information about four prominent deals that took place between 2004 and 2007. They were the acquisition of Masonite International Corp. by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.; Vista Equity Partners' puchase of MDSI Mobile Data Solutions Inc.; Barrick Gold Corp.'s purchase of Placer Dome Inc.; and Sherritt International Corp.'s purchase of Dynatec Corp.
Davies acted on behalf of one of the parties in all four of the deals.
The OSC also alleges Azeff passed along information about the deals to a client, who in turn informed TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. investment advisor Howard Miller about the transactions. Miller and TD colleague Francis Cheng are also accused by the OSC of illegal insider trading.
The OSC alleges the four CIBC and TD traders who knew about the deals - Azeff, Bobrow, Miller and Cheng - bought securities for their own accounts and also recommended them to dozens of friends, family members and clients.
According to the OSC's statement of allegations, the entire group of buyers accumulated shares in the affected companies worth a total of $16.5-million prior to the public announcements of the takeover deals. The potential profit earned on the securities totalled at least $3-million, according to the statement.
The allegations do not accuse Finkelstein of buying securities.

Onion skinning and keyframes
Touch and hold any of the frames on the film strip to show the onion skinning and keyframe controls. The controls are hidden when you take your finger off the screen.
Keyframes act as reference frames in your flickbook. For example draw the first and last frame in an animation sequence and set these as keyframes. You can then draw the frames in between with easy reference to the points. To help onion skinning can be enabled for the keyframes.
You can set two keyframes, A and B. Keyframe A is indicated on the film strip by the frame with the red surround, similarly keyframe B by the blue surround. Playback can be restricted to the frames between the keyframes.
Onion skinning shows a faded version of other frames in addition to the content of the current frame. In the screenshot above onion skinning has been enabled for the previous two frame, showing the position of the swimmer in these frames and therefore helping to draw the current frame.
You can onion skin the previous 0, 1 or 2 frames and the future 0, 1 or 2 frames.

A report from TV Patrol this evening, Aug. 6, 2014 (Manila time) or this morning, Aug. 6, 2014 (U.S. time) confirms that Maja Salvador and Dennis Trillo, two of the biggest stars in their generation are set to do a movie to be produced by Regal Films this year. Based on an article of ABS-CBN News, Maja and Dennis were already scheduled to shoot the film last year, but due to some reasons, Regal Films decided to move the scheduled shooting.
Aside from that movie, Maja Salvador is also set to do a TV series with two brilliant actors, Jericho Rosales and John Lloyd Cruz. Maja is excited not only because of the movie with Dennis Trillo but also because of "Bridges," her TV series with two Kapamilya actors. These projects are making Maja Salvador busy. Incidentally, she has just arrived from her vacation in South Africa with boyfriend Gerald Anderson and fellow ABS-CBN stars Kathryn Bernardo, Erich Gonzales and Julia Barretto.
And speaking of Gerald Anderson, his rumored ex-girlfriend, Sarah Geronimo is also busy and doing several projects on ABS-CBN with Lea Salonga and Bamboo Manalac. Reports said her fellow "The Voice" coach, Apl. De. Ap of the group called Black Eyed Peas is still not really sure if he can go back to the country to guide the hopefuls when the second season of "The Voice of the Philippines" begins.
Going back to the pop princess and certified box office queen, her relationship with hunk actor Matteo Guidicelli remains hot topic in social media particularly on Twitter and Instagram, a few months after their admission on national TV that they are officially on. Popsters believe that this is her time to enjoy life with someone like Matteo Guidicelli, according to them; she should be given the privilege to enjoy life more because she is not getting any younger.

Let's talk about hair today. I don't care what nationality or color you are, or even if you are a man. We love to change our hair with the times and trends. Not everyone is born with fabulous natural hair, so they get a little help sometimes from a wig and weave beauty store. Not everyone that wears a weave or a wig needs to, it is just for convenience for some and celebrities where it for fashion and to look more glamorous than the girl next door.
Sometimes women just want a temporary new look without drastically cutting their hair. Maybe you have thin hair and need extensions to make it look fuller; after all it is your hair if you bought it. It is like wearing makeup you just want to enhance what you have. I don't feel there is anything wrong with either a wig or weave if it is done tastefully. Now a stripper may get the hair really long for the fantasy she is trying to portray. If you are a nine to five girl, get something more natural and professional.
Some people only like natural hair and think that weaves and wigs are just not their taste. Creative people just want to get the look that they like or need. You will see Brittney Spears wearing her short natural hair when she is not performing most of the time and people do not say anything about that look. I guess if you are in the entertainment business it is more acceptable.
Here we go again it depends on where you live and your lifestyle that this might be more accepted. If you live in a cosmopolitan big city a lot of people are use to seeing all types of looks and there for may not see it as a problem. If you are a hairdresser and you color your hair every other month or add extensions no one has a problem at the salon because they all do it and understand that you do it because you are a creative person. That is one thing I miss about working at a salon or being in the entertainment field, I can just be myself. When I work the nine to five job, you have to conform and look more conservative, which makes me not so happy even if I need to wear my own hair conservatively. I guess you have to find the job where you can be yourself, oops! I guess some people think that wearing a wig or weave is not being you.

Now when people log into the RDP server, they only use an MS-Access frontend as their shell, explorer doesn't even run. However...it appears that all of their roaming profiles are needlessly being copied over to the RDP server when they log in.
Is there some way to tell Windows Server 2008 r2 to NOT copy their roaming profile when they login to the RDP server? But still allow their roaming profiles to be loaded everywhere else?

Back in FL!Jeff
Thursday September 28th 2006, Ft. Pierce, FL
Before resuming our travels south we switched out some crew Trish Haitz took Bud's place on the boat. With Helene's passing,the forecast for resuming our offshore passage looked promising so we steered south out of Port Royal Sound, SC our goal was Ft. Pierce, FL. With thunderstorms dancing around the Sound, we motor sailed to the outer buoy. Upon reaching the outer buoy a 20NM trek, be killed the motor and quickly found ourselves becalmed. This passage was certainly different than our last. Confident that we did not have fuel for the entire 300NM passage and counting on winds in our future, we steamed through the night. Each time a whisper of breeze found us we hoisted the sails, killed the diesel, and found ourselves becalmed within two hours. We did reach the Gulf Stream off Cape Canaveral and we joined by playful dolphins and pilot whales for long stretches of time. (see image and note the crystal blue water!)
First leg of the return to FLJeff
Monday September 25th 2006, Beaufort, SC
C?? est la Vie left her summer home of Beaufort, NC early in the morning of Wednesday, Sept 21. Anne and Carlie are currently pursuing other adventures so I recruited John Grey and Bud Lovett as crew. With a forecast of fair weather and moderate swell from a distant Hurricane Helene we planned to sail offshore and attempt to come in somewhere around Jacksonville, FL. The seas from Helene haunted our passage and made sleeping and meals difficult. We rounded Cape Fear around 04:00 on Sept 22. We found ourselves in a small craft advisory with 20kt winds and 8+ foot seas off of Charleston, SC around midnight on the 23rd. The winds slowing veering onto our bow, we were finally forced to tack back NE off the outer buoy at Charleston, this placed us running close hauled directly into the 8+ foot seas, while C?? est la Vie performed admirably, the crew was not eager to hold the NW tack for long. The forecast called for more of the same so we bailed out and joined the ICW via the North Edisto River. Anchoring in the South Edisto River on Saturday, the 23rd, provided our first full nights sleep since leaving Beaufort. We took the ICW south to Beaufort, SC and tied up at Lady?? s Island Marina. The attached image is John & Bud motoring along the ICW.
Still working towards the launch date.Jeff
Thursday September 7th 2006, Bock Marine, Beaufort, NC
That's right the ides of September are creeping up and we are still on the hard at Bock Marine. Between work and wet weather we've struggled to get the boot stripe and hull painted. Weather permitting� we hope Florence follows her forecasted route and stays out to sea, we should be ready to launch on Monday, September 11th. We've run the motor, started up the fridge, and even managed to get one coat of paint on the boot stripe. The hull is sanded and just waiting for the right day to apply paint. I promised an image of our new bow sprit chain plate (I guess that's what you would call this piece). The older design only had four 5/16� screws w/ fender washers on the inside. This system was failing� holes elongating and bolts bending. The newer design uses seven 3/8� bolts with backing plates and a "T� shaped plate on the exterior of the hull. We feel much more confident about this system and the extra time and $$ spent to make this repair offer us a much greater piece of mind. See image included�
Bye, bye ErnestoJeff
Saturday September 2nd 2006, Bock Marine, Beaufort, NC
We weathered Ernesto well here in Beaufort, NC. The storm came through on Friday, Sept. 1, our proposed launch date. Even w/out the storm we would not have been ready to launch. We reinforced the bowsprit were it attaches to the bow near the waterline. Attempting to replace the impeller, I sheared off a screw for the cover and was forced to remove the waterpump to extract the screw and retap the holes. Thanks to Bud for his assistance on this job. We still have to paint the hull below the waterline. Weather permitting we will shoot for launching late next week.
Countdown to launching...Jeff
Wednesday August 23rd 2006, Bock Marine, Beaufort, NC
The countdown is on. Planning to launch C'est la Vie by Sept. 1, we pulled the cover off her on August 14 and the project list sprouted... repairing the dripless shaft seal, repainting from toe rail to cove strip on starboard side, rebuilding/strengthen the bow pulpit, service the engine, replace the gudgeon bushing, 2 fresh coats of bottom paint, etc., etc. etc. Things are moving along nicely and save for a sheared off screw in the impeller housing and a $125 price tag for a new gudgeon bushing surprises have been few.
What's next IIJeff
Thursday May 18th 2006, Beaufort, NC
During the drive Anne & I will play catch up on all our phone messages. Seems difficult to believe we have already spent a month away. Make us realize how easy it would be to set sail for a year... years?
What's Next?Jeff
Thursday May 18th 2006, Beaufort, NC
While Anne and I catch up with e-mail, reserve a rental car for the return trip to FL, schedule a haul out for the boat, and catch up with all the good folks we know down east, First mate Carlie stands watch. We plan to sail out to Shackleford Banks around lunch were we dive under the boat scrub a bit on the hull and mark where we want the slings placed for haul out. C'est la Vie will be hauled tomorrow morning and Anne and I will head back to the Everglades via car tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning.
Guess we need a fish ID book/chartJeff
Thursday May 18th 2006, Beaufort, NC
We learned the true identity of our lunch while showing our pictures to Dennis & Robin Chadwick. Fortunately I bled and filleted the fish immediately after the picture was taken. We (Anne) grilled the fish in foil with onions, then ate it on a bagel w/ wasbi mayo & tomatoes. No complaints here. We gave the other fillet to our neighbors, two guys delivering a steel hull sailboat from Panama to Maine, and they enjoyed the fish. They also told us it was a bonito. Reguadless it was a fun fight and a tasty lunch. Thanks for all the replies. It is fun to know that others are sharing along in our adventure. Please keep the comments & replies coming!
King MackerelJeff
Wednesday May 17th 2006, Beaufort, NC
This was to be dinner last night, but sleep got the better of us. Lunch anyone?
Beaufort by sunsetJeff
Wednesday May 17th 2006, Beaufort, NC
After waiting out a few stormy days in Southport and then Wrightsville Beach, we made a final long day, 77 nautical miles in the Atlantic, and arrived in Beaufort, NC last night. The final day of our journey started pre dawn to make the tides in Masonboro Inlet and ended surfing large waves in the Beaufort inlet at sunset. Midday was punctuated by catching a King Mackerel, the largest catch of the trip. During the afternoon a large pod of dolphins celebrated our journey by playing off the bow for 30 minutes.

In a move expected to spur solar heating and cooling (SHC) deployment across the state, the Massachusetts Legislature has approved SB 2214 and sent it to Governor Deval Patrick for his signature. This important legislation will allow renewable thermal technologies, including SHC, to be eligible for alternative energy credits under the Massachusetts Alternative Portfolio Standard (APS).

Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Massachusetts Legislature Urged to Pass Solar Energy Legislation
With two days left in the legislative session, National Grid, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the Solar Energy Business Association of New England (SEBANE), the New England Clean Energy Council (NECEC), the Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) and Environment Massachusetts are asking the House Ways and Means Committee to quickly release consensus language on House Bill 4185, a landmark compromise that provides a stable and cost-effective policy solution to support solar energy in Massachusetts. Last week, this broad coalition of stakeholders agreed upon language that
Solar Energy Poised to Help States Meet Air QualityTargets
Taking part in a national "listening tour" conducted by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today urged states to turn to solar energy to help meet new carbon pollution targets.
Questions Raised About APS Move Into Rooftop Solar
In a move condemned by many solar companies in Arizona, the state's largest utility, APS, has announced that it will begin installing rooftop solar on customers' homes. After learning of the news, Ken Johnson, vice president of communications for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), issued the following statement:
SEIA Calls for Changes to BLM Permitting Process
In testimony on Capitol Hill, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today supported reforms of the permitting process for energy production on federal lands.
Sun rising on solar deals
It was a good time for Mark Halsey, owner of Gene's Fish Fry on Route 4, to put solar power panels on the roof of his landmark, 1970s-era roadside stand. "It was nothing out of pocket; I did not put in one penny," said Halsey, whose father, Gene, started the seasonal business in 1961.
Is the Sun the Only Thing Powerful Enough to Unite Democrats and Republicans?
A funny thing is happening on the way to conservative attacks on solar energy—some conservatives are championing renewable energy over fossil fuel interests. The reason is simple: It's called employment.
Massachusetts Crushes Solar Goals, Aims Much Higher
Massachusetts has already surpassed its goal of installing 250 megawatts (MW) of solar energy by 2017. Just a tad early, eh? Obviously, 250 MW was far too small of a goal, so the state is planning to increase the goal to 1,600 MW (1.6 GW).
PSE&G's $446M solar energy investment would utilize landfills, brownfields
To solar energy developers, New Jersey's thousands of acres of brownfields and hundreds of landfills represent a vast untapped resource in a state starving for open space.
World's Biggest Solar PV Projects Under Way In SoCal
What will become the world's largest solar photovoltaic development is now in "major construction" mode in California's Antelope Valley, about 60 miles north of Los Angeles.

Week 6 of "The Bachelor" took place in New Zealand" where there were 2 one-on-one dates, a group date and one contestant sent home on her birthday. International Business Times shared the fun on Feb. 10.
First One-On-One Date
The first one-on-one date honors went to Andi Dorfman, the only bachelorette to hasn't had a one-on-one date with Juan Pablo. The couple takes a speedboat out to a secluded part of the river where they jump into the water. From there they traverse a narrow cave opening to find a beautiful waterfall and hot springs. They share a drenched dinner in front of a geyser and when Andi says, "I can't wait to have a family," Pablo gives her a rose.
Group Date
Though each wants to be chosen for the remaining one-on-one date, Nikki, Sharleen, Renee, Cassandra, Chelsie and Kat find themselves going on the group date together. Juan Pablo and the girls go to a field where they play fast and furious in an Ogo, an oversized ball that can hold 3 to 4 people at once. Next, they visit one of the sets from "The Hobbit" for a cocktail party. Trying to earn the group date rose, each girl does her best to impress the bachelor. Niiki claims she's "totally falling for him," while Cassandra confides how much love she has to offer. Sharleen who has previously voiced misgivings repeats the sentiment, saying the process is "inorganic" all while questioning her own feelings. So who gets the Group Date rose? You guessed it – Sharleen.
Then in a real surprise, he takes birthday girl Cassandra aside. Everyone thinks he going to privately wish her a happy birthday but instead he breaks up with her – on her birthday!
"I've been thinking a lot," he tells her. "Its been so hard for me because you're gorgeous, you're funny, you're so nice … I wish we were in the same chapter."
Second One-On-One Date
Clare has had a rocky week with Juan Pablo and is thrilled to get the second one-on-one date with him. She has said on camera that his remarks following their tryst in the ocean last week hurt her feelings and that she wants an apology from him.
He does apologize and the couple share a romantic picnic followed by a fireside dinner. They cuddle up on the couch in sweatpants and Clare gets the date rose.
The Rose Ceremony
Tensions are high. Even with Cassandra out of the picture, there is still one girl to be sent home. Andi, Clare and Sharleen are safe, leaving Nikki, Renee, Chelsie and Kat on the chopping block. When it's all said and done, Kat is the flower-less one and is sent home.
While Kat is crying over her disappointment, Sharleen is also shedding a few tears but hers have to do with her confused feelings.
"I'm happy to be here and happy to be going on," Sharleen says. "But at the same time I feel that it's wrong somehow. I guess I feel guilty in a way."
At least for now, Sharleen, Nikki, Renee, Andi, Clare and Chelsie will move onto the next phase – visiting Juan Pablo's hometown of Miami.
"The Bachelor" airs on Mondays on ABC.

A new bill in Florida would force some changes on the attorney referral services that are popping up. The bill applies to both legal and medical services.
Private lawyer and legal medical referral services would have to disclose financial ties to clinics and law firms to which they refer callers.
The bill states:
• A lawyer and medical referral service may not require its participating lawyers to refer patients only to doctors or clinics participating in the referral service as a condition of belonging to the service. Similarly, doctors or clinics may not refer patients only to lawyer members of the service.
• A medical clinic or health care provider may not exclusively make referrals to other medical facilities that the owner of the referral service has an interest in, unless all advertising for the service says that the referrals will be limited to those facilities.
• Medical referral services must prominently disclose in advertising if they refer patients to healthcare facilities that are not owned by physicians.
• There would be restrictions on referral service advertisements that generally track restrictions The Florida Bar places on lawyer advertising. Lawyer referral services would be required to follow all Bar advertising rules and to file their advertising with the Bar to ensure compliance with Bar rules. (Bar rules prohibit lawyers from belonging to referral services that do not comply with Bar rules, include rules regulating lawyer advertising.) Ads could not say an injured person would be entitled to a certain amount of damages "when there is no factual basis to suggest such monetary amount. . . ." Ads could also not promise specific results, use false testimonials, and must not be "false, misleading, or deceptive."
• Referral services could not use images of law enforcement, emergency medical services, or the military in any way that would suggest a connection between the service and those entities. – Source

I have a
wx.Frame. I need to change the content from time to time.
I have a timer and every few seconds I check the state, and if the state has been changed, I need to change the content of the frame.
In order to do this, I created a panel in the frame called
panel.Reparent(None), and created a panel with new content, but the frame is not updated with the newly created panel. I tried with destroy (
panel.Destroy()) but this didn't work.
What is the recommended way to change frame content (not only data, I need to add and remove UI components)?
class TestFrame(wx.Frame): def init(self): wx.Frame.init(self, None, title="Double Buffered Drawing") self.counter = 0 self.panel = wx.Panel(self, -1) wx.CheckBox(self.panel, -1, "Alpha", (35, 40), (150, 20))
# Create a timer to update the data values
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.OnTimeout)
self.timer = wx.Timer(self)
def OnTimeout(self, evt):
p = self.panel
self.counter = self.counter + 1
except e:
print 'B'
if self.counter % 2 == 0:
self.panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
wx.CheckBox(self.panel, -1, "Alpha", (35, 40), (150, 20))
self.Show() #Tried also self.Layout self.Refresh self.Update

The X Factor took us to the land of dance classics last night, a wondrous fantasyland where "Someone Like You" is our era's premier dance banger and where contestants can sing Chaka Khan without fading into smoke and thin notes and the shadow of the greats. They were next supposed to take us into the land of the Pepsi Challenge, a fantasyland of which the world has no details thanks to BIG CRISES.
Fortunately for X Factor watchers–not to mention people like us who write about it–that crisis didn't preclude anyone from singing, although it did keep them pretty ensconced in standards. That doesn't mean we won't have words for it, as well as everyone else on the show. Read on to see how the top 5 fare as the finals loom close!

Sam's Club layoffs just announced by parent company, Wal-Mart, will affect 2,300 employees. The job cuts will be in the near future and impact hourly and salaried workers -- with assistant managers representing half of the cuts, Inquisitr reports Jan. 25.
Sam's Club currently has 630 stores throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico wants to add at least 15 new stores this year. In the last fiscal year the stores have earned $56.4 billion in revenue and is "12 percent of Wal-Mart's $466.1 billion in revenues," the report said.
The Sam's Club layoffs mean the average store will lose four employees. Job cuts will "not be uniform."
Sam's Club spokesman Bill Durling said they want to "balance" their resources.
The job cuts affect about 2 percent of the stores' 116,000 employees. Workers will get 60 days of pay and be eligible "to apply for open positions within Sam's Club and Wal-Mart." If no one has found new jobs when the 60 days is over, they will receive a severance.
Wal-Mart added that they want to treat their employees with "respect" during this transition. The Sam's Club layoffs is another big company in a position to make this kind of decision in a trend which evidently will not end anytime soon.

When advertising on Facebook, Twitter, Wedding Fairs and when we meet people all over they quite often ask us – "Why Giggle Booth", "What makes you different to other Booth companies out there?" It's a question we hear a lot these days especially when there are so many "Booth" companies out there these days so we thought we'd write a little blog to take you through some of the points that make us different to other Booth Companies!
There are many companies out there claiming to be a "Photo Booth" when in fact they are actually a man with a camera and a backdrop or even a pop up tent. Whilst these are great if you are on a budget (Cost around £100 – £300) they are not actually a Photo Booth so if you want a Booth – make sure you check it is a booth! Many of these do not provide you with prints on the night so make sure you check if this is something you want!
There are also lots of companies with Booths – most of which are oval or rectangular in shape and are of a modular construction. Our Booth is unique to the Giggle Booth Brand and is a solid white photo booth. They were specifically designed by the Booth Bosses in our HQ in Dorset for us to use. We also have an external monitor built into the Booth itself so that all of your guests can see the fun being had inside whilst they wait. Other companies have a separate TV on show – Having it built in means we don't take up as much space so more room for your guests to play with the props and have a Giggle!
We provide a choice of side curtains too and all prints are provided on the night for your guests to take home and to fill your lovely Memory Book! Prints are produced in approx. 6 – 8 seconds – WOW!
We include a lovely Prop box with all of our packages including a variety of Hats, Wigs, Glasses, Feather Boas, Inflatables. These are all brand new props every time and you get to keep them as part of your package!
We made the decision a while back that no-one likes second hand sweaty wigs etc so we give you your props to keep. It also means that your Guests can continue to enjoy them after we go home! This is also a Unique feature to us! No one else (As yet) gives you the props to keep!
Our Wedding Packages include a second set of prints and a Memory book as STANDARD! No extra charges to add this on! This is a prefect Memento of your Big Day or that special occasion. We stick the second print into the book and encourage your Guests to write you a message so you get a book full of funny photos and lovely messages.
All of our packages also include FREE print personalisation. Some companies only offer film Strips – We offer this & postcard style so you get a choice of your preferred layout.
Even the postcard layouts are not set – we can move the 4 photos around and make them different sizes to your requirements. We can change colours, fonts, texts and even include logos from your stationary, pictures and much much more.
We also do not brand our prints – No mention of Giggle Booth anywhere – They are YOUR prints and that's how they should stay. Even your personalised web gallery is a stand alone website!
We put a lot of effort into getting your print design just right as we know that it should be as Unique as you are!
We also include a personalised online gallery for you and your guests to view your photos. This is unique to each event and is password protected for your safety.
We want to ensure that you get the most from your Photo Booth hire so include everything you will need to have a great Giggle Booth experience! We also offer keyrings, fridge magnets and other add ons such as our Vintage Upgrade, Green Screen and a few more.
We are always looking for ways to improve our packages and things we offer – If you have any suggestions for things you would like to see included drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
To find out more about our packages – Give us a call on 01788 840128
