Collaboration - Sharing Success
- Login to post comments
How are we building on collaboration in the school setting? What opportunities are we offering to our families, staff and students? How are we integrating technology to strengthen our connections? What does collaboration look like to you?
Share stories of success in areas of collaboration so that others can build on it.
This is a great topic for Edcamp. A number of secondary schools in Delta incorporate collaborative time into their schedules. I'd like to hear from others about the different models that are in place at other schools.
Personal Learning Networks fit naturally with Professional Learning Communities. I'm interested in learning others' experience building PLN's at their schools.

Model, UFO, "The Invaders," ABC 1967-68
This is a commercial model of a flying saucer from the television show, "The Invaders," which was broadcast on ABC from 1967-1968. It was built by a modelmaker who was serving in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. The program, broadcast for two seasons, centered on space aliens in flying saucers attempting to take over Earth. The plots centered on fears of alien infiltration of society and were a commentary on contemporary Cold War fears of communism.
The donor, Richard G. Van Treuren, donated the model to the Museum in 1974 as a part of a set of models he built of various fictional spaceships.

'By Jove, man, looks like we've got ourselves a breather!' The cadaver's patronising chortle says it all: being alive is nothing to shout about in this, the second stop-motion feature from Tim Burton. In an Orpheus-type story split between the maudlin, near-monochrome land of the living and a razzle-dazzle-'em underworld, it's clear that the dead have more fun – indeed, they might have a better time than audiences as 'Corpse Bride', though beautifully conceived and impeccably realised, remains somewhat cold to the touch.In a nineteenth-century middle-European town, Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), timid and sensitive son of grotesque nouveaux riches – he's in fish – is lined up to marry Victoria (Emily Watson), heiress of some equally ghastly down-at-heel aristos. It's a reasonable match – both look as if they'd faint at the slam of a door – but matters are complicated by Victor's inadvertent betrothal to Emily (Helena Bonham Carter), a marriage-fixated corpse and not a bad sort, once you get used to the sight of her ribs twinkling through her decomposing bodice and the maggot that lives in her eye. As in 1993's 'Nightmare Before Christmas' – also executed by another director and accompanied by Danny Elfman's creepy-swoopy score and wordy songs – animation proves the ideal mode for Burton's cute-Gothic aesthetic, with its curlicue scenery, dry-twig limbs and macabre flourishes. Yet there's nothing here to really frighten the horses: the Bride is sympathetically clingy rather than menacingly possessive and the most disturbing element of the love triangle – its licensing of Victor's death wish – is skated over. Although very likeable and very well animated, 'Corpse Bride' just isn't very, well… animated.

I Have The Phone Box
This was one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. It had beautiful stop-motion animation and an amazing storyline. The underworld was a welcoming change from the world of the living. It was, ironically, MUCH livelier. Victor is a great character although he was very shy. Emily was amazing. I haven't seen this movie in a while but it was AMAZING. It had very amusing supporting characters.

Collingwood confronts old foe Carlton
Rohan Connolly previews round two of the 2013 AFL season with the highlight being Collingwood up against old foe Carlton.PT0M0S 620 349
It is not so much the day everyone has been waiting for since Mick Malthouse became a Blue that can't come soon enough, as the end of the days leading up to it. A drum-roll that is extraordinary even by Carlton-Collingwood standards is taking a toll.
''He's the coach of Collingwood,'' Nathan Buckley said of Malthouse on Wednesday, in what was either a Freudian slip or a stunning revelation that, for all that the media has pursued every possible angle ahead of Sunday's clash, one hell of a news story has been missed.

The real Magpies coach spluttered, laughed, balanced up and moved on. ''Was,'' Buckley added, well aware he'll see his faux pas replayed ad nauseam in the coming days and no doubt beyond.
''He's the coach of Carlton,'' was the response he was looking for, to questions of whether he and Malthouse remain on speaking terms. ''I haven't spent a great deal of time with the coach of Carlton in my time as the coach of Collingwood.''
Despite whispers that Malthouse was keen to keep it that way, the pair were due to share the stage at Thursday morning's Peter MacCallum Cup breakfast, an annual feature of the build-up to the match. The traditional picture of the two coaches holding the cup promised to be one for the ages, if indeed it took place at all.
Black and white and Blue all over
Recent images from the bitter Collingwood/Carlton rivalry.
''I caught up with Mick at the coaches' AGM last week, I'll see him tomorrow morning at the Peter Mac breakfast, and I'm sure watching the TV shows I'll see plenty of his head between now and Sunday.''
Pressed as to which he would consider more intimidating - facing Malthouse after a round one loss or after a round one win, Buckley said: ''I don't find him intimidating at all.''
Buckley's media performance on the St Kilda seafront smacked of a young coach who accepts the territory he's in and is rolling with it. Against a backdrop of Malthouse speaking of family bitterness at the handling of his departure, and expressing surprise that Collingwood people weren't upset when he joined the arch-enemy, Buckley was respectful of an elder, yet clear that he, at least, has moved on.
They both look like Collingwood coaches... but this picture was taken in 2011, when Mick Malthouse was boss, and Nathan Buckley was assistant coach. Photo: Paul Rovere
He acknowledged there were ''plenty of people'' keen to drum up talk of unease between them ''and make it an adversarial relationship'', but insisted he had nothing but respect for the man who was his coach for eight of his nine seasons as the Magpies' skipper.
''I've learned a lot from him, played under him for a number of years as his captain, worked under him as assistant coach. We've had many frank discussions - not in recent times - we've had many frank discussions about that situation. I understand what took place, he understands what took place. I don't think there's a lot of understanding externally.''
In some ways, he said, he felt for his old coach ahead of a game billed as ''Mick v Collingwood''. ''He's said himself he doesn't want it to be about him, but it's pretty hard to avoid it given the connection with the club recently, then going to the arch-enemy.''
Asked if he thought Malthouse may similarly feel for him this week, Buckley said: ''Ah, no.''

I've referred to it in the past as "the beast." Possessing tannins that need to be tamed through intelligent winemaking, Petite Sirah can truly be a monster of a wine. One of the least well known red grape varieties, it does not command legions of rabid followers like Zinfandel or Cabernet or even Syrah, from which it takes its misleading name. In the right hands, however, Petite Sirah can be a stunning wine -- deep, resonant, and rich.
Petite Sirah has been grown in California for a long time, but apart from some limited success in the 1970s at the hands of Carl Doumani and Stags' Leap Winery, wines made exclusively from this grape variety never really earned the respect or attention of mainstream wine lovers.
Yet producers all over the state continue, quietly, to make Petite Sirahs, and many have no trouble selling them at all.
And occasionally, these producers, not so quietly serve up their wines with roast meats and chocolate for anyone who dares drink on the dark side, if you'll pardon the expression. The next opportunity you have to sample their wares will be Friday, February 8th, when the society of winegrowers and makers known as P.S. I Love You holds its annual tasting.
By then you should be:
a) sufficiently recovered from the Zap Zinfandel festival
b) in the mood for something other than Zinfandel
So go check it out. Who knows, perhaps you'll fall in love too.
P.S. I Love You Dark and Delicious Tasting
February 8th, 2008
6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Palace of Fine Arts
San Francisco, CA
Tickets are $50 per person and will most likely sell out (as there are only about 80 left at while I write this). They can be purchased online.

What if the world's computers were hacked tomorrow? What if technology broke down, and we had to rely on more traditional methods of communication and organization? I know it's far-fetched, but our reliance on technology scares me. We depend on technology and the internet for everything nowadays. Imagine if the internet and cell phone towers went down for longer than a day. How would it affect your life? Do not fear, because I have a back-up plan if your PDA dies or your laptop blows up. It's called the "note card" method. Clever name, huh?
Here are five steps for getting things done using only a note card:
Step 1: Buy a couple packs of 3″ x 5″ note cards. The 4″ x 6″ note card are clunky.
Step 2: Take out one note card each morning, and write two columns on the front side of the card. Then, flip it over and draw one vertical line through the middle of the card and one horizontal line through the middle of the card to create four equal quadrants.
Step 3: On the front of the card, write "Work" in one column and "Personal" in the other column. Write the date somewhere at the top of the card. Write all of your work tasks for the day in the work column and all of your personal tasks for the day in the personal column. If you want to take this one step further, write them in order of importance with the first task written as the most important.
Step 4: Flip the card over, and use the four quadrants to write any important information that you need for the day such as a phone number or address. Dedicate one of the quadrants for a motivational message such as a quote or Bible verse. For instance, I recently started using note cards on a daily basis, and I use one quadrant for phone numbers and addresses, one quadrant to write the words "Determination, Integrity, and Perseverance". I know, it's cheesy, but those three words keep me focused throughout the day. Another quadrant contains a Bible verse, and the last quadrant contains a short work-out schedule.
Step 5: Fold the card in half and stick it in your pocket, purse, or wallet. Whenever you complete a task, place a check mark or cross it off to show completion of the task. Keep your card until the next day. For any tasks that you didn't complete, make sure you transfer them onto the next card to complete the following day.
This method sounds trivial, but it really does work. The psychological aspect of physically crossing off a task is very powerful. Pulling out a note card to look at your to-do list is much quicker than pulling it up in your PDA, iPhone, or Blackberry. Before you mock it, try it out. I know you won't look as cool as the people whipping out their iPhone, but I guarantee you'll get some people curious about it. There is beauty in simplicity.

The Bible as Literature? — Note on a Litigious Ferment of the Concept
Author(s): Tomoko Masuzawa
The Bible has been considered one of the Great Books of Western Literature, and "the Bible as Literature" is regularly found in the curriculum of English departments in American colleges and universities. An underlying assumption is that the Bible possesses great literary value and cultural assets, and therefore its general educational employment within public institutions, as opposed to its religious or liturgical use, causes no offense to anyone's freedom of conscience guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Confidence in this idea, however, set in only after a long series of litigation and legislation. This essay recounts a lawsuit that came before the Supreme Court of Maine in the mid-nineteenth century (Donahoe v. Richards) wherein the traditional practice of reading from the Bible in common schools was challenged and, perhaps for the first time, the idea of the Bible as literature was publicly articulated. At that time, the Bible — specifically, the King James Version (1611) favored by the majority Protestants, styled the "Common English Bible" — had been regularly used in the quotidian practice of piety, including in schools, as this practice was considered essential for the welfare of both the individual and the commonwealth. At the backdrop of the lawsuit was the emergence of the public school system and also a surge in the Catholic immigrant population, which began to challenge the de facto Protestant establishment of many American communities. The essay suggests that the hyperbolic estimation of the literary excellence of the King James Version, often voiced to this day, may be a reaction-formation, a symptom of the deeply troubling legacy of bitter quarrels yet unresolved.

As this year's edition of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony gets underway on Saturday, April 14, the focus won't be so much on who is being inducted but who isn't: the Monkees. It took the death of Davy Jones to bring the scattershot grumblings of pop music writers and Monkees believers to a feverish pitch. The general feeling seems to be that the band needs to be inducted now, if not sooner.
Sure, the 1960s group may have been put together by a pair of television producers as a made-for-TV band, the reasoning goes. But despite that, they made a lot of great singles and albums, sold tons of records and even eventually took control of their music. And as for the once-scandalous fact that studio musicians played on their records? Well, as everyone later learned, studio musicians also played on records by the Beach Boys, the Byrds and other bands, and that didn't wreck their credibility.
Beyond that, Monkees hits such as "Last Train to Clarksville," "I'm a Believer," "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "Daydream Believer" are enduring records that are staples of oldies radio ("Daydream Believer" even edged into the Top 100 when it was re-released in 1986). As the years have passed, the stigma of the group's bubble-gum image and lack of alleged "integrity" has been replaced with a respect for the classic music they made.
And so Monkees fans have drawn up an online petition to get the band inducted (at last count nearly 25,000 people had signed). The country's best known magazine devoted to record collecting, Goldmine, regularly runs opinion pieces testifying that the group is Hall-worthy. On the Rock's Backpages site, writer Barry Pig Gold wondered if there was a conspiracy to keep the group out of the Hall.
The death of Davy Jones, which warranted a People magazine cover, proved that people really still care about the Monkees. But do the critics and music industry veterans who make up the Rock Hall's voting bloc care as well? Time will tell.

Eltrab and Karina entered the old hole in the wall of a store together and Karina was immediately distracted by something small and extremely fuzzy. She picked it up and discovered to her great astonishment that it was alive. With an indignant squeal, it hopped away.
"Oops," Karina muttered. Meanwhile, Eltrab was hunting through the bins of Forces. Finally, he narrowed it down to two. The first was a little purple blob with beady green eyes. The other was big, dark red, and looked like a lightning storm was happening inside.
"Uh," Eltrab muttered uncertainly. "Beady eyes are creepy."
He took the red one and paid for it at the desk. As he rammed it into his head, the cashier found it in the records.
"Ah!" he exclaimed. "This one's special... brought back from nearly 40 years into the future or maybe more than that... I don't really know. I jus' sell 'em. Others hunt them down."
"Who'd it belong to?" Karina wondered.
"I dunno," the clerk answered. "Looks like some whiny kid who became a Sith... Anakin Skywalker? Oh, Sith name, Darth Vader."
"Isn't that the whiny kid that..." Karina began. Some random flying ball of cheese interrupted.
"... that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan haven't made it to Tatooine to meet yet?" it screeched.
"Did a flying cheese ball just screech?" Eltrab wanted to know. Then, he grinned. "Excuse me... I'm gonna go kill something... or fix a machine... not sure which urge will win over..."

Well done Cook for fronting up to the investors. Good luck with the project.
Asian investors in an intensive housing development on Auckland's North Shore say they have no idea what is going on, but owner Chris Cook says everything is on track.
Following yesterday's story outlining investors' concerns about the lack of progress on the Albany Heights Villas project, Mr Cook contacted NBR ONLINE to explain the lack of communication.
"We sent out a project update to our clients when we refinanced [in July] and stated the next one would be once construction is started, although another update did go out a few days ago.
"The project is due to start in the next month to six weeks," Mr Cook said in an emailed statement.
"We are extremely excited to be finally in a position to start building, and although the project has been delayed and had setbacks earlier this year the majority of investors have been supportive, with only a few grumblings.
"Now that the project is funded any doubts should be gone."
The Albany Heights Villas development was in serious trouble in June when Adrian Burr and Martin Reesby's Spinnaker Capital called in its mortgage and instigated a mortgagee tender to recover its funds.
NBR Rich Lister John Copson's Crown Money refinanced the loan at the last minute.
Crown Finance managing director Chris Arbuckle told NBR ONLINE he could not comment because of client confidentiality, but says he is happy with the situation.
"As far as I'm aware, everything's progressing well."
However, more Asian investors contacted NBR ONLINE overnight to say they have not been updated on the project for some time.
One investor says: "We are looking for Chris Cook and there are lots of queries we want to clarify."
Another, from Singapore, says he bought an option for a unit in November 2010 and "had last heard from the developer on December 11, 2011".
An Auckland-based investor also contacted NBR ONLINE with concerns about stage two of the development, saying: "It is concerning to know that we are not the only ones."

9 Comments & Questions
All the investors asking for is transparency. Cook has collected a few million dollars from the investors. His project management firm was iliquidated in May, now Cook has no staff, no office, his webiste is down, his replies have been on & off, and he was for the past three weeks until this article appeared uncontactable....is this morally correct? Sorry, it's not about fronting up. No one wants to make enemy with Cook or anybody. NZ is (presumably) a civilised society & we just want people to behave in a civilised manner. The FACT is that many investors' payments are already due but the project has not even started.

Caregiver's roles are many and tasks to complete are overwhelming. Why would it seem out of the ordinary to give us one more role or task?. And with all the medical, legal and family information why would it seem out of the ordinary to have just one more in that category? Caregiver's and in particular, family caregiver's are in need of help, this help may not come from the legal community. This is not their fault, for as they will tell us, 'this is a legal document and was signed by a cognitively alert person'.
Here is our problem; so many times the caregiver is the spouse of the one receiving care. Even when the recipient of the care is residing in a skilled nursing facility (even for dementia care), they may still be in control of life or death questions of their caregiver, a family member! There are more times than anyone wants to count when spouses have reciprocal agreements for a medical power of attorney. And this was fine when drawn up, however no one has looked at them in years. Now we are at the emergency room and the caregiver has had a heart attack or other life threatening event; the person in charge of the decisions for medical treatment is the partner suffering from a dementia and does not even recognize their spouse.
Sounds like something out of a bad movie, but happens every day. We need to take a second look at those legal instruments. We have to protect ourselves and make sure the legal documentation does just that. These documents can be revoked by the person with cognitive ability; unfortunately they cannot be revoked by the person with dementia. We (the caregivers) must try to keep ourselves as clear thinking as possible. The best of all world's would be if all this legal stuff was taken care of at the time we became aware of the dementia, however it is usually in the back of our mind as we try to consider this devastating diagnosis we have just been handed. Family members must try to step up and help out, and if that means taking this discussion out and putting it on the table; that is exactly what needs to happen. Caregivers have enough, the family members need to help us out. Family members must uphold the decision of the caregiver when at all possible. We need that oversight, to help us through.

The Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka
The Metamorphosis Life, Consciousness, and Existence Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph). We used Stanley Corngold's translation.
Quote #1
When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams [...] "What's happened to me?" he thought. It was no dream (1.1-2)
The philosopher René Descartes once wondered how it was possible to distinguish between dream and reality. His answer? God wouldn't be so cruel (read more). Kafka plays on the Cartesian reference here. How does Gregor know it's not just a dream? Isn't being a bug sure evidence that he's stuck in a dream? Would God be so cruel?
Quote #2
He saw clearly that in bed he would never think things through to a rational conclusion. He remembered how even in the past he had often felt some kind of slight pain […] which, when he got up, turned out to be purely imaginary. (1.8)
Here we see Kafka's irony coming out. Gregor thinks he can only think clearly if he's out of bed. But Gregor is thinking this thought while he's in bed. Thus how can we believe Gregor that he'll think more clearly if he's out of bed? It's roughly the same problem as the liar from Crete who says "I lie." Is the liar lying when he says he's lying?
Quote #3
He again told himself that it was impossible for him to stay in bed and that the most rational thing was to make any sacrifice for even the smallest hope of freeing himself from the bed. But at the same time he did not forget to remind himself occasionally that thinking things over calmly – indeed, as calmly as possible – was much better than jumping to desperate decisions. (1.12)
Yet another wonderful instance of irony. Gregor thinks that the most rational thing to do is to get out of bed at all costs. But then he also thinks that "thinking things over calmly" is better than "jumping to desperate decisions." Yet that's exactly what he does when he goes into a panic at the sound of his supervisor's voice – he just flips out of bed. This is not a rational act, but an act of thoughtless desperation.

I suck at blogging + 1 month reflections
Sunday, September 19, 2010
I am just not good at keeping up with blogging! I want to try to be more consistent though, so maybe I will set specific days of the week to write blog entries. I'd have to think more about why I don't like to blog, but I'm guessing part of it is that I just don't feel like I have anything interesting to say. Or I am afraid of 'putting stuff out there' and not getting any feedback on it.
Well, today I am going to take the leap, and write out some of my thoughts and reflections of the first month+ I have been on SparkPeople. I have to say that I have really been enjoying it. A small part of me loves getting all the points and trophies, and it keeps me logging in and tracking things. I do have an addictive personality, but I think this is a better thing to be addicted to than a lot of other stuff I can think of!
SP has also really helped my attitude. Every time I slip up, or struggle with something related to food and weight loss, I know and can see that other people are going through the same thing. Thank you to all the article writers, forum posters, bloggers, etc. You've really made me feel less alone.
I'm really proud of myself for being consistent with my exercising and strength training. I know that I'm maybe not working as hard as I could be (I still really hate to sweat!) but I've been making myself do something on the days that I have scheduled, even if it's just a slow walk.
The weight really came off fast the first few weeks, which was awesome. Now, it's slowed down quite a bit, and that's hard! I'm still hoping to make my first mini-goal, even with setbacks. I know I can do it; two steps forward, one step back is still moving forward. I'm excited to do my measurements in a week or so, hopefully they will also show progress.
I can tell that this time is going to be the time. It is going to take a while, I know it's going to be hard, and there will be times when I'm discouraged and want to quit. But I won't. I will stay strong and keep going, because I'm tired of being afraid, self-conscious, and depressed. Thank you SP for being such a great tool for my journey!

I'm with you; I've never found blogging to come easily. But it's been valuable to have those milestones along the way, yardsticks for measuring progress. I'll vote with JANEY, too: You wrote a lovely blog here! It's easy to relate to that sense you described of "trading" addictions. For me, it used to be a long, daily bout of afternoon binge-eating that would stretch into the evening. But now it's SparkPoints :) And you're doing fantastic exercise-wise, too! I'm a slow walker, and my exercise is somewhat limited by some physical constraints. No doubt about it, though - we'll get there! Congratulations!!

Softball Falls To Ohio State, 4-1, In adidas Invitational Finale
March 11, 2007
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- A seventh inning come-back fell just short as the Massachusetts Softball Team (8-8-1) lost to Ohio State (12-9) 4-1 in the silver flight semifinal game of the adidas Invitational Sunday morning. Trailing 4-0 heading into the seventh inning, the Minutewomen mounted a furious rally. With one run already home, UMass loaded the bases with one out but OSU pitcher Jamee Juarez came in to save the game for starting pitcher Kim Reeder. UMass mustered just four hits in the game and left six runners on base. Sophomore Brandice Balschmiter (Newark, N.Y.) took the loss allowing four earned runs on eight hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts. UMass finishes the tournament with a 4-3 record.
Ohio State threatened to score in the top of the first inning after the UMass infield committed back-to-back errors. With runners at first and third, Balschmiter induced a ground ball to second base by Megan Schwab. Junior Stacy Cullington (Encinitas, Calif.) fielded the ball cleanly, tagged the runner going by and threw to first completing the double-play and keeping the Buckeyes off the scoreboard. It was the Minutewomen's sixth double-play turned of the season.
Ohio State scored the game's first run with two outs in the top of the third inning. With Liz Caputo on second base, Brittany Vanderink blooped a single into left field. Junior Lauren Proctor (La Jolla, Calif.) made a good throw home, but it was just a little late and Ohio State had a 1-0 lead. Sam Marder followed with a double to the gap in left-center field plating Vanderink and giving the Buckeyes the 2-0 lead. Schwab then belted a double off the wall in left field making the score 3-0.
UMass tried to cut into Ohio State's lead in the bottom of the fourth. Molinari led off with a single up the middle, the Minutewomen's first hit of the game off of Ohio State pitcher Kim Reeder. After Molinari was thrown out trying to steal second base, Cullington was called out on strikes for the inning's second out but that was when UMass tried to mount a two-out rally. Senior Amanda Acampora (Orange, Conn.) walked and then senior pinch runner Michea Holness (Beverly, Mass.) went to second base on a single through the left side by Proctor. Sophomore Whitney Mollica (Windham, N.H.) came up with runners on first and second with one out, but grounded out to end the inning.
In the top of the top of the fifth, the Buckeyes added to their lead. Marder drove in another run with a RBI single to left. Balschmiter settled down after that fourth run, but the UMass offense was unable to generate any scoring opportunities.
Balschmiter retired eight of the last nine Buckeyes but UMass still trailed 4-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning as it came up for its last crack at Reeder.
Acampora led off the seventh by drawing a walk and then senior pinch runner Jackie Teman (Downingtown, Pa.) moved to third base with one out when Mollica dumped a single into right field. Mollica moved to second base as the throw went to third base giving the Minutewomen a pair of runners in scoring position and just one out. On a 3-2 pitch, Williams ripped a single into right field putting the Minutewomen on the board, 4-1. Sophomore Emily Wehr (Marietta, Ga.) drew a walk to load up the bases and also knock Reeder from the game. Jamee Juarez entered the game to pitch and inherited a bases-loaded, one-out situation and freshman Carly Normandin (Gardner, Mass.) at the plate. Juarez fanned Normandin bringing up senior Amanda Morin (Worcester, Mass.). Morin hit the ball hard, but it was right at the left fielder. Megan Schwab snared it without moving and ended UMass' comeback attempt.
The Minutewomen will head right back to the Sunshine State next weekend for seven games on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. First, UMass will participate in the FAU Parent's Weekend Tournament March 16-18 where it will face Rutgers, Quinnipiac, Michigan State and Texas A&M in pool play before the championship rounds. UMass will then close out the weekend with a doubleheader vs. Florida Atlantic on Monday, March 19, beginning at 6:00 PM. All games next weekend will be broadcast online at www.umassathletics.com. Live stats will also be available via Gametracker at www.umassathletics.com.

Hey all,
As you have likely summized from my various posts, I like to convert and sculpt bits and pieces for my various projects.
Is there any interest in me posting pictures of these conversion projects while they are still in the green stuff and styro stages?
I like seeing sequence shots once something's finished. But usually can't be bothered following work in progress.
I prefer shots on completion also, but I don't mind just WIP pictures. For me it's really interesting to see what goes in to the creation and hear some of the thought process behind it.
It might give me some ideas to use with my own conversions, so go ahead.
Cool. I'll offer both then. I'll post completed conversions or WIP that show some level of recognizable progress for more major projects.
For example, I have just finished converting some ancient Persian horse archers and other cav into passable Eastern Euro. horsemen. It's been an easy, but fun process. They are not historical, but definitely suitable to fit into Alcovia.
I agree with Derek. I prefer to see the sequence from start to finish. But either way, please post. I like seeing what others do.
I prefer not to see WIP unless the work is complete.
IMO, the only reason to post WIP is if one is unsure and has a question about which road to take, for example, "which way should the muffler be facing, LINK shows this way, but LINK shows another way I'm lost".
Otherwise, it's kind of like dressing up in a tux for the big night out:
Husband: Look dear, I have my underwear on, isn't that great
Wife: Big whoop, are you going to the ball in your underwear? Get dressed and then show me.
Husband: Look dear, now I've got my pants on I still have to do the suspenders, but I have to get my undershirt and then my shirt on first. More to follow
Wife: Oh dear lord
Now of course, if the husband is not sure how the suspenders should go, he could have come out in his second appearance and asked "should I put the suspenders on now, or after the shirt?" To which he would receive sage advice from his wife (or more likely "how the bejeez am I supposed to know, I wear a dress!")
Seriously, though, what Eric said, post either way. In my case, I prefer to see the finish and then a sequence or highlights of the process.--Tim
I like to see the whole sequence at once; I might not find the intermediate posts again if you wait.
When people are asking for the finished product, are they meaning he finished conversion or the finished figure – paint and all?
Conversion would be fine, but painted would be better.
Thanks for the feedback. Here are my thoughts on this all.
I have always found it useful to see conversions in the raw. I find that seeing them in progress is also helpful as long as the progress being shown is something substantial and representative of an accomplished part of the whole. I'd not show a picture of an unfinished face or half a leg.
I do like to see finished conversions and painted figures both. Seeing what the total conversion is before the figure is painted allows me to appreciate the work that went into it and have a better idea of what the build does for the finished product.
To publish a WIP diary could be useful fpr self-cheering (direly needed at times, we all know) and if you are asking for comments / suggestions -then don't forget to give a specific label to the series, for easy sorting out / retrieval later. Otherwise, posting once a step-by-step illustrated report would be more reader-friendly.
Could also be useful for others who are looking for inspiration, or some incentive or cheering on.
Show us what you like to show us :)
Errr..miniatures-wise that is
Finished work along with pics of the progress. Unless of course it is a massive bit of work.

Interview with Pyramid West.
RJD2 releases a whole handful of new treats in promotion of his stellar new LP, The Colossus. Above, you can see the new video for "Spaceship For Now", while below you can download a brand new Alan Wilkis remix of "A Shining Path", his collaboration with Phonte of Little Brother. Updated tour dates through April, [cont.]
RJD2 drops his latest video from The Colossus, featuring his breezy vocal track, "The Glow". We've always liked this song, even though we prefer instrumental-RJ vs. crooning-RJ. Nice video here, watch out for that shock ending…. Tour Dates beyond the link. RJD2 Tour Dates: 02/18 – Columbia, MO @ The Blue Not 02/19 – Grinnell, [cont.]
It seems like it's been longer than usual since we last spoke with RJD2. Reason being, his last album, The Third Hand, was a drastic departure from what he had introduced to us on his first two solo albums and his various offshoot projects. The Third Hand was overall a quality record, however the difference [cont.]
This week marks the release of DJ/producer superstar RJD2's iPhone remix app, finally giving fans and tinkerers alike the chance to experience a bit of what it sounded like in RJ's studio as he worked on upcoming LP The Colossus (due in stores on 1/19 via RJ's own label, RJ's Electrical Connections). The application, called [cont.]
To celebrate the official launch of his new label, RJ's Electrical Connections, the revered instrumentalist has released the incredible 2002-2010 limited edition (1100 copies) vinyl box set, a gorgeous collection summing up the greatest moments of his career thus far. Obtaining the rights to his first three Definitive Jux releases, RJ reissues all three releases [cont.]
RJD2 has addressed the fans directly, touching on numerous subjects surrounding his career, including his upcoming new LP to be released on his new label, and more. We'll let the man tell it himself…. Hey folks, im writing with some pretty big news in the world of rjd2…. I've had a busy year, and have [cont.]
Instrumentalist RJD2 has had a great half-a-decade. His two solo albums for Definitive Jux � Dead Ringer and Since We Last Spoke � not only represent two of the label's most successful and solid releases, but also have been a licensing treasure trove for the producer. Not to mention producing a handful of hip-hop [cont.]
HHS: First question, what are the meanings behind both album titles (Dead Ringer) and (Since We Last Spoke)? RJ: Dead Ringer the idea was a phrase that I heard people saying "oh he's a dead ringer for so and so", you know what I mean? I guess the irony of it, was that I did [cont.]
It's been over two years since the release of RJD2′s seminal debut, Dead Ringer, and in that time period, the little known Ohio based producer transformed into a well-known Philadelphia based super-producer. Receiving critical acclaim on his debut, as well as follow-up projects that came in the form of The Horror and Soul Position, [cont.]
Within the last year, instrumentalist RJD2 has gone from being a complete obscurity to one of the most popular producers of the moment, at least among those keeping a close ear to the underground (and those picking the soundtracks for Saturn ads). Following the runaway success of his smash debut, Dead Ringer, RJD2 does what any [cont.]
HHS: First, tell us about your name, RJD2, sounds like it should be reserved for R2D2′s offspring…. Are you a Star Wars fan? RJD2: yeah, I'm a fan, but the name really came from this cat Gomer, who was my first partner in rhyme. My real name is RJ, and he would fuck around in [cont.]
Fresh after wooing heads with his solo debut, production wunderkind RJD2 teams up with emcee partner Blueprint, blessing us with a 6 song appetizer for their upcoming full-length release 8 Million Stories, due out this fall. For those that don't know, RJD2 is quickly becoming the underground's leading producer, after showing and proving the last few [cont.]
Looking back a few short months ago, when I was arranging the pressing of the now-classic "Rain" / "Find You Out" 7-inch, I had an interesting conversation with RJD2. Upon hearing a few advance treats from his album, not to mention the tracks for the 45, I told him that I seriously thought that he [cont.]
Is it me or has Def Jux just come in from nowhere and started flipping out product like flapjacks? Good to see El-P's fledging label fire off from the launching pad with so much good material. While RJD2 isn't about to touch the ill subliminals of Cannibal Ox, if you've liked the edgy, off-kilter styles that Def [cont.]

A great way to start off the new year is to incorporate more ethically sourced beauty products into your routine... and it's easier than you think! More cosmetic companies have begun to go cruelty-free by ditching animal testing. Whether you're a complete make-up addict or just learning the basics, love to splurge or have a tight budget, there are cruelty free products for you. In the Back Bay of Boston, there are plenty of companies and brands with great finds to help you achieve any makeup look, while supporting our furry friends. Here is a list of animal-friendly cosmetic brands and where you can find in the area.
If you would like to find out more about the companies that are PETA approved, you can search through their Beauty Without Bunnies index to see which brands are cruelty-free.
Lush Cosmetics
LUSH Cosmetics are well-known for their luxurious Bath Bombs and great range of beauty products. However, what is not quite as well known is the fact that the company has been against animal testing for over 30 years. Besides having their own strict testing policies, they also have the LUSH Prize of £250,000, which goes to researchers and companies in the alternative testing sector that bring awareness to the cause or find new ways of testing products.
Find LUSH at 166 Newbury Street, www.lushusa.com
Victoria's Secret
It may surprise you that Victoria's Secret has been on PETA's cruelty-free company list since 1991! Not only do they have a tons of fragrances and body lotions, they also have a huge range of moderately-priced makeup to help you look like one of their gorgeous supermodels!
Find Victoria's Secret at 82 Newbury Street, www.victoriassecret.com
The Body Shop
The Body Shop prides themselves on providing natural, ethically produced beauty products. Since their start, they have never tested on animals. In fact, in 1996, they created a campaign against animal testing that gained over 4 million signatures and was delivered to the European Commission. They were also the first international company to sign up to Humane Cosmetics Standard.
Find The Body Shop in the Prudential Shopping Center at 800 Boylston Street, www.thebodyshop-usa.com
At Sephora, you can find a wide variety of cosmetics brands, including quite a few that are cruelty-free. If you're looking to splurge, Hourglass Cosmetics, Nars, Bare Escentuals, Urban Decay, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and Illamasqua are just a few of the high-end companies Sephora stocks that do not test against animals.
Find Sephora in the Prudential Shopping Center at 800 Boylston Street, www.sephora.com
If you're looking to save money, but still find cruelty-free cosmetics, you don't have to look any further than some of your favorite makeup brands stocked at CVS! Wet n Wild, Burt's Bees, and Physicians Formula are all on PETA's cruelty-free company list. And, if you're looking for makeup brushes, Eco Tools Cosmetics Brushes are also animal friendly!
Find CVS at 587 Boylston Street and 240 Newbury Street, www.cvs.com

RV VIN Check
RV and Motorhome
Vehicle History Reports
- Sponsored by RV Checks -
Each $24.95 Report has the following information:
- Disclosed Damage
- VIN Decoding
- Last Recorded Odometer
- Salvaged or damaged titles
- Crushed Vehicle
- Multi-state searches
- Salvaged or Damaged Titles
- Salvage - Stolen Titles
- Rebuilt Titles
- Manufacturer's Specifications
- Manufacturers' Recall History
Recreational Vehicle History Report provides important information that can impact a consumer's decision about a RV or Motorhome and its value.
Buying a recreational vehicle is a big investment. If you're planning on purchasing one used, you can protect yourself from buying a damaged or stolen RV by researching and requesting an RV VIN check.
What Is an RV VIN Check?
Similar to a standard vehicle history report, an RV VIN check provides a detailed summary of everything in the vehicle's history. This is done by running the vehicle identification number (VIN) through a digital system and pulling any information associated with that VIN.
RV History Report Information
A detailed recreational vehicle history report will shed light on a variety of points, including:
- Past ownership.
- Damage reports.
- This will include accidents, fire and water damage, and any other incidents the RV has suffered in its history.
- Odometer reading.
- Title history (i.e. if the vehicle ever had a salvage, stolen, or rebuilt title).
- Manufacturer's recalls and specs.
Where Does RV VIN Data Come From?
RV history information comes from both public and private sources. This includes details from:
- State titling agencies.
- Insurance companies.
- Auto recyclers.
- Junkyards.
- Salvage yards.
- Towing operators.
Why Order An Online RV VIN Check
Running an online RV VIN check is a great way for savvy consumers to protect their purchasing dollars. Whether you are buying or selling a used recreational vehicle, look into ordering RV history reports online for info on accidents, damage, title history, recalls and more. All you need is the vehicle identification number, also known as the VIN.
Buying a Used Recreational Vehicle
Before you buy a pre-owned RV, it's wise to review a vehicle history report (VHR). This type of VIN check offers title history details, also helping you decide whether a particular recreational vehicle is worth the money.
While you can use the information on a VHR as a bargaining tool to negotiate a lower price, be weary of sellers who don't accurately disclose the RV's title history. Good sellers will likely run a VIN check on their own and then come up with a fair ticket price consistent with the condition of the recreational vehicle. Some might even save you a step, and present you with a current VHR.
Selling a Pre-Owned RV
One of the best ways to sell a pre-owned recreational vehicle is to be transparent about the RV's title history, damage and repairs. Disclosing these details gives potential buyers the opportunity to make an informed decision.
Present buyers with your RV check to prove that your asking price is a fair deal. If they prefer to run a recreational vehicle history report on their own, suggest using an online RV check company for added convenience.

Hockey Falls to No. 10 UMass Lowell, 3-2
Nov. 17, 2001
AMHERST, Mass. - UMass Lowell scored three first period goals en route to a 3-2 victory over the University of Massachusetts in Hockey East action tonight at the William D. Mullins Center.
Laurent Meunier opened the scoring just 18 seconds into the game when he beat Massachusetts senior goaltender Mike Johnson (Excelsior, Minn.) with a shot from the slot. Yorick Treille and Geoff Schomogyi assisted on the River Hawks goal. UMass Lowell extended its lead to 2-0 when Treille scored at the 9:27 mark of the first period. Meunier and Darryl Green assisted on the goal. The River Hawks made the score 3-0 when Steve Slonina netted a power-play goal at the 12:49 mark. Mark Concannon and Ed McGrane assisted on the goal.
Massachusetts got on the board late in the first period when senior Tim Turner (Saginaw, Mich.) scored a power-play goal from just outside the crease. Sophomore Thomas P?ck (Klagenfurt, Austria) and senior Martin Miljko (Etobicoke, Ontario) assisted on the goal.
The Minutemen outshot the River Hawks 13 to four in the second period, but neither team could manage to score a goal. Massachusetts cut the River Hawks lead to 3-2 early in the third period. Freshman Peter Trovato (North Attleboro, Mass.) scored on a rebound of a Kelly Sickavish (North Vancouver, British Columbia) shot from the point just 1:39 into the period. Junior Brad Nizwantowski (Peabody, Mass.) also assisted on the goal.
Johnson made 12 saves in net for Massachusetts, while Cam McCormick made 22 saves for UMass Lowell. The victory improves UMass Lowell to 7-2-0 overall and 5-2-0 in Hockey East, while the loss drops Massachusetts to 4-6-0 overall and 2-3-0 in Hockey East.
Massachusetts returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 20, in a non-conference game against Vermont at the Springfield Civic Center. Game time is 7:00 p.m.

FourFourTwo: Zabaleta calls for 'balanced Argentina'
- 29 June 2014 08:54
- Posted by @roline_mcfc
Argentina defender Pablo Zabaleta believes his side must find the right balance of attacking flair and defensive stability if they are to progress in the 2014 World Cup.
Although La Albiceleste qualified for the last 16 having finished top of Group F with maximum points, defensive frailties were evident in the victories over Nigeria and Iran.
Alejandro Sabella's men face Switzerland in the next round and Zabaleta has warned his compatriots they cannot afford to make mistakes.
"Beyond having qualified first, we know that there is always room for improvement and can work to adjust," he stated.
"We are entering a decisive phase in which there is no margin for error.
"I think the important thing was learning about how rivals may pose [threats] in matches and how important it is to be more cautious about some things, and braver in other [situations].
"Now, the situation is different because each stage is crucial. We hope our rivals are more open and we can take advantage of these spaces. The important thing is to keep the balance."
Wise words.
In other news, the same source claims Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has revealed he is unsure whether Vincent Kompany will be able to recover in time for the Red Devils' clash against the USA.
The City skipper missed his side's final group match against South Korea through injury and apparently, Wilmots is yet to decide if he (and Thomas Vermaelen) will be available for the next encounter.
"It is impossible to say now whether Vermaelen and Kompany get fit for the United States," he asserted.
"I am pleased that we now have more preparation; we will have to wait and we need to look at their availability day by day. Kompany is struggling with an overload on the abdominal and groin."
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, Vinnie!
Elsewhere, according to the Daily Mail, Bacary Sagna has admitted France's World Cup campaign would be deemed a 'failure' if they do not manage to lift the trophy.
Writes Chris Waugh: "Sagna, who completed his free transfer to Manchester City from Arsenal earlier this month, said that France will look to progress 'step by step' in the tournament."
Quoted in the article, the right-back declares: "As players, we aspire to go as far as possible, to win the trophy.
"The World Cup will be successful only if we go to the end. If we do not do it, then it would be a failure.
"The goal has been refined over time - it is four matches to the title and we want to do it."
That's all for today. Check back to mcfc.co.uk at the same time tomorrow for another round-up of City-related World Cup media stories. In the meantime, why not have a read of our match report from Brazil's victory over Chile? You can find it here.
