Jared Seaton, Senior Analyst, Mylan Inc., Morgantown, WV
2IST, May 2006
"The IST program provided me with the foundational technical skills that are required to be a successful IT professional."
I'm Jared Seaton and I have been working at Mylan Inc, in Morgantown, WV, since 2006. My current job title is Senior Analyst, in Global Infrastructure and Operations Management. I graduated from Penn State Fayette with a Information Sciences and Technology (IST) degree with the Networking option in 2005.
The IST program at Penn State Fayette provided me with the foundational technical skills that are required to be a successful IT professional. However, the most value that I received from the IST program was not only the ability to understand the technical aspects of an IT career, but the skills to convey the value of the services that IT provides to the business.
My IST degree from Penn State gives me a tremendous amount of pride. I believe that my PSU degree has been an outstanding benefit in helping me acquire my position at a leading global company. The quality of my education at Penn State Fayette has aided me in achieving success in my career.
The industry in the Pittsburgh area has been increasing steadily over the last ten years, and therefore the demand for IT jobs has grown. This trend will result in even further demand for IT jobs.
By attending Penn State Fayette, you are receiving a world class degree, which carries weight over other local institutions offering similar programs. The atmosphere, and environment in the campus and the classes, allows you to participate in a more individual experience. Over the last six years, I've been promoted from Backup Administrator, to Senior Unix Administrator, to Senior Analyst. Obtaining an IST degree from Penn State Fayette, enabled me to work in a career field which has provided numerous opportunities for career growth and advancement.
Phil Cecchini, CIO, Assetbook Inc., McHenry, WV
2IST, May 2008
"The IST curriculum gave me all of the basic skills I needed to thrive in a technology-based company."
My name is Phil Cecchini and I graduated from Penn State Fayette in May 2008 with an associate degree in Information Sciences and Technology (2IST). My internship at AssetBook Inc, McHenry, Maryland, led to my current job as AssetBook's Corporate Information Officer (CIO). I recently completed a baccalaureate degree with Penn State World Campus.
I entered Penn State as an adult student. My previous work experience was in a steel wire mill, so I had absolutely no prior experience with technology. The IST curriculum gave me all of the basic skills I needed to thrive in a technology-based company. Since technology is always changing, my IST education gave me a solid foundation of knowledge and abilities to be a lifetime learner.
It's hard to beat the prestige of a Penn State degree. Penn State is well respected for its high-quality education standards. My colleagues in the financial sector may not be familiar with community college degrees, but everyone knows where you studied if you tell them you are a Penn State graduate.
When looking for job, having a unique background helps set you apart from your peers. That is where a Penn State IST education is a plus. Secondly, having a can-do attitude is important. Penn State's academic rigor teaches you to stay a few extra hours, or do a little work on the weekends, if that is what it takes to meet a deadline. Another important area is work ethic and having pride in your work and your skill set. Any time I was tasked with a new, unfamiliar technology, I accepted the challenge, and learned the necessary skills on my own.
One of the greatest benefits of attending Fayette is the small class size; often less than 20. Instructors provide plenty of one-on-one time for each student. It was great to be able to work face-to-face with fellow students and instructors. I believe that is the best learning environment and Mr Wilson was the best instructor. He is my IST mentor. Upon entering World Campus, I learned how to manage both classes and a full-time job. But since I had my first 2 years behind me, I was much more knowledgeable about IST and the collegiate environment. World Campus was ideal for me since travel time is completely eliminated. I was successful at World Campus, but given the choice, I prefer a smaller brick and mortar extension of a large university . . . Fayette is the best learning environment a student could ask for.

Company Merge: EOD Technology merges with Sterling International
EOD Technology announced last week that it has merged with Sterling International to form Sterling Global Operations.
The new company will be based in Lenoir City, and EODT CEO Matt Kaye will serve as president and CEO of the new venture.
Kaye said Wednesday that the combined companies form "the world's preeminent conventional munitions disposal organization."
When asked about the benefits of the deal to EODT, Kaye said that "it really diversifies our customer base. It strengthens our footprint around the world and provides us greater breadth and depth of resources."
EODT got its start in 1987 as a company specializing in explosive ordnance disposal, and for years specialized in cleaning up contamination at former U.S. military sites. During the George W. Bush administration, EODT branched out into security operations and eventually became a major player in that market.
The company has also received some unwelcome scrutiny in connection with that work, though. In 2010, a U.S. Senate committee criticized EODT for its hiring practices in Afghanistan, and the following year it was revealed that the U.S. State Department had fired the company from a contract to guard the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
EODT was raided by federal agents in 2010, although no charges have been filed in connection with that episode.
According to a news release, EODT's employee stock ownership plan acquired Sterling International. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The release said Sterling manages a $175 million weapons removal and abatement program for the State Department, and Kaye said that in comparison to EODT, the Virginia firm is more involved in the work of nonproliferation.
"While the activities that (EODT does) are nonproliferation, they're much more in a mass-quantity stockpile reduction," he said. "Sterling is on the forefront of … assisting countries with treaty compliance (and) establishing mine action centers."
Kaye said Sterling has approximately 150 employees, and the new company will have about 3,500 employees.
After a round of layoffs earlier this year, EODT said it had 250 American employees and 3,000 foreign nationals.
Kaye said Sterling International's program manager for conventional weapons destruction will remain in that position with the new company.
Sterling's website does not identify the company's top executives, and Kaye declined to identify the founder or CEO of the company. "He's asked not to be named," Kaye said, adding that the individual would stay on as an executive adviser.
The release said the combined companies will continue to serve existing customers, but will also expand into markets including energy exploration and development and judicial and criminal justice support. The new company will have annual revenues of $150 million. credit:www.knoxnews.com

After boiling a chicken for soup and straining with a fat separator, how much fat is left in the chicken? Does it depend on how long I boil the chicken for?
Yes, it depends on how long you cook the chicken. Much of the fat is in the skin and can be removed by peeling it; other fat (such as in the thighs) tends to stick around. Long, slow cooking will render more of the fat, which melts at around 95° F.
I'm guessing you're trying to avoid fat for dietary reasons, but consider saving it for future cooking purposes - like where you might use another oil. It's delicious, and not terribly harmful in small quantities.
I agree, a fair amount of fat tends to remain in the skin. Evidence for this: to make soup, I boil a whole chicken for 2-3 hours, then cool and pull off the meat. Usually I peel off the skin and fry till crisp in a pan. It doesn't produce as much fat as bacon, but more fat than you would think.

"Adiabatic Quantum Computing with the D-Wave One"
The USC-Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing Center has taken delivery of a D-Wave One adiabatic quantum computer. In this talk, we will report on our experience assessing the quantum mechanical behavior of the device and benchmarking its performance. We will present experimental results that strongly indicate that quantum annealing is indeed being performed by D-Wave One, and show how the device performs when compared to classical computers on a particular optimization problem. We will also discuss a proposal to experimentally show the presence of entanglement that is being developed in collaboration with D-Wave. We will also report briefly on early work to find applications for the D-Wave One, and other challenges to broad use of this new technology.

Brad and Angelina enjoyed a quick Los Angeles getaway without their kids this weekend. On April 6, Us Weekly reported that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were able to enjoy some down time together at a hotel in Beverly Hills after being apart for months working on different films.
The couple was seen arm-in-arm walking into the hotel looking very much in love -- and relaxed. It is unknown where their children (Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 7, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 5) were but chances are the family will be reuniting very soon. It's not often Brangelina gets to sneak away for some R&R!
Brad and Angelina's Los Angeles getaway wasn't very long but it was nice to see them back together and seemingly enjoying each other. They live very different lives (even from the rest of Hollywood) and they really know how to take advantage of their time when their schedules allow for it.
The couple became engaged in 2012 but don't seem to be in any rush to marry. They are focused on their careers and their children and they don't seem to care about becoming Mr. and Mrs. which has really always been the case. Marriage isn't a concern for Hollywood's hottest power couple.
Brad and Angelina's Los Angeles getaway was definitely a rare sighting -- but they definitely deserved it!

|South Climb trailhead is snowed in still. There was a large snow drift blocking the road 2.16 miles (at 4600 ft) before the trailhead. If you can get past that drift (someone tried in their Dodge truck and got stuck as we started) then the road is clear of snow for probably another mile or more. On our way back down from Cold Springs to where all the cars were parked a guy was driving through the drifts with his jacked up Subbie... maybe his tracks made them passable now? LOTS of downed trees on the road within a mile of Cold Springs.
The trail is all snow still. We had zero scree the whole time (nice). However, we were heading back down in the afternoon and were post holing like crazy. Makes for slow going. Recommend skiing/boarding down.

Joe's is always a great time. No issues with picking up tickets
*December 6, 2013: Casey Donahew Band
With their latest release, Moving On, The Casey Donahew Band are quickly becoming one of the hottest names in Texas country, drawing fans at home and beyond to their energetic live shows. Matt Stell opens.
- December 7, 2013: 7th Heaven
7th Heaven has charted #1 on the Midwest Billboard Charts twice in the past two years. The band has been heard on many radio stations in Chicagoland with their hits "Better This Way" and "Sing." Playing over 250 shows a year, 7th Heaven has been performing since the mid-'80s. Their energetic live shows mix originals and covers, including their famous "30 Songs in 30 Minutes" medley of '70s and '80s hits.
December 28, 2013: The Personnel
An electro-rock band hailing from Chicago, IL. Ramping up to the release of their sophomore EP, the band released their first single in nearly two years, "Naïve." Their Borrow or Steal EP shows a band poised to leap forward. A mix of etherial synthesizers, glassy guitars, and driving rhythms, this new batch of songs is equal parts earnest, equal parts catchy.
January 3, 2013: Maggie Rose*
Cool and confident, yet warm and approachable with a laugh that's as melodic as the songs she sings, it's difficult to look at Maggie Rose and not think that she was born under a very special star. And maybe she was. How else can you explain her journey from Potomac, Maryland — hardly a mecca for country music — to Nashville by way of storied record executiveTommy Mottola (Celine Dion, Mariah Carey)?
January 11, 2013: Josh Abbott Band
Weeks before its Valentine's Day release on iTunes, the Josh Abbott Band's "Touch" was already well on its way toward being one of the most talked-about songs in Texas music of 2012. Granted, the hot-streak momentum of Abbott's career had a lot to do with that. In the wake of the breakout success of "Oh, Tonight" (which climbed to No. 44 on Billboard's country chart) and the title track from 2010's regional smash "She's Like Texas," created a stir that reached all the way to music executives in Nashville and New York City. With opening act Whiskey Myers.*
About the Ticket Supplier: Joe's Bar
Joe's is host to both national and local music acts. They have been home to acts such as Blues Traveler, Pat Green, Dierks Bentley, the Lt. Dan Band featuring Gary Sinise, Clarence Clemons, Southside Johnny, John Eddie, KRS-1, Run DMC, the Outfield, Bret Michaels, Rick Springfield, Graham Colton, Good Charlotte, Local H, Joan Jett, The Outfield, Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, Victor Wooten, Tone Loc, and The New Bohemians featuring Edie Brickell.
Joe's also has monthly performances by local bands such as Mike & Joe, Underwater People, Hairbangers Ball and many, many more. They've also got the local scene covered, regularly featuring Chicago's best tribute bands — great acts like Mike & Joe, Then Again, 17th Floor, Cover Girl, The Paramours, 7th Heaven and the wildly popular Hairbangers Ball.

When people here say you're never more than a couple of hours away from anywhere in Northern Ireland, it's true. But even better – you're never more than a few minutes from something special!
In a single day you can take in mountains, forests, beaches, castles and quaint villages. Northern Ireland may be small but it packs in plenty; not just things to see, but plenty to do. The place is hopping with hundreds of city and country festivals dedicated to everything and anything. And over 90 golf courses, which means you're always within a few minutes' drive of fantastic golf. Which includes some of the world's most renowned and historic courses, by the way.
Northern Ireland rewards every interest – heritage, gardens, wildlife, culture, live music, good food, crafts, antiques, angling - and getting active. Our coasts and mountains are just made for surfing and sailing, climbing and coasteering, cycling and cruising. From a gentle walk to the most extreme sports...or just exploring and seeing what's around the next corner, the ever-changing landscapes are certain to enchant.
From Enniskillen, it's easy to get to all the highlights.
Ireland's sole World Heritage Site, the Giant's Causeway is 100 miles away – just one of the many gems strung like a necklace along Northern Ireland's Atlantic coast.
The famous fortified city of Derry is just an hour to the north – the only city in the British Isles entirely ringed by 17th century walls, which visitors can walk along. Derry is also famous for its arts and music scene.
Belfast, under two hours to the east, has blossomed into a vibrant city with plenty happening year round – nightlife, live music, events, new museums including the MAC and stunning new Titanic building, theatres, and dining and shopping for every taste.
There is so much more – the Mourne Mountains sweeping down to the sea, a landscape which inspired the Narnia books. And the dramatic contrasts of the Glens of Antrim, looking towards Scotland just 12 miles away. Or the county of Armagh steeped in the legends, landscapes and legacies of past realms.
But Fermanagh alone has so much going on, you may have to make a return visit to see and do it all.
To plan your trip and learn more about all the events, attractions and activities of Northern Ireland:
From action and adventure to relaxing cycle rides, Northern Ireland has something to keep everyone amused & involved...
All ages and interests are catered for with our many attractions, from natural wonders to historical monuments...

Sunday night's 2014 EE British Academy of Film Awards were predictably tame with a few surprises. The event was held at the Royal Opera House in London, England and hosted by actor and 9 time BAFTA host, Stephen Fry. Most of his jokes were funny, yet tasteful and set the mood for a dignified night.
Chiwetel Ejiofor took home the Best Film and Leading Actor award for 12 Years A Slave while his co-star, Lupita Nyong'o went home empty handed. She lost in the Supporting Actress category to Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle but she stole everyone's heart in a long, but simple jewel-toned, strapless green dress embelished with a gold belt. Her fierce fashion sense at each awards show continues to amaze.
First time actor and BAFTA nominee, Barkhad Abdi took home a BAFTA for Supporting Actor for his role as a Somali pirate in Captain Phillips. His speech lacked something to be desired, mostly consisting of thank you's to various individuals that helped him along the way, but the joy was in watching the faces of all of his fellow nominees like Bradley Cooper and his co-star Tom Hanks seem genuinely happy for Abdi's win. Incredibly, his previous profession was as a chauffeur. He may not have worn a ball gown but he was truly the Cinderella of the night.
The rest of the night went as expected with one moment that seemed to set the internet on fire. Rapper Tinie Tempah and singer Laura Mvula performed live to a video showcasing the year's finest in film. The shocking part was not that a rap song had been chosen at such a proper show, rather it was that Tinie Tempah high-fived Prince William. While this might seem trivial and even cool to fans on this side of the pond, some Brits were none too pleased with this informal display. Yahoo Celebrity UK tweeted:
"Did Tinie Tempah SERIOUSLY just HIGH FIVE Prince Flippin William?! #BAFTA"
It might have been a lapse in edicate but there were plenty who thought the friendly display furthered Prince William's cool factor.

Perfect for smaller swimmers, or just those who don't want a bulky bag, the TYR™ Small Alliance Backpack is a durable way to carry and organize your swim gear.
Normally things that you would take to swim practice. Swim gear: towels, goggles, clothing, etc.
Answered by SwimOutlet.com on 1/27/2016
The answer by Swim Outlet is completely wrong and misrepresents what this bag can carry. This bag is absolutely too small to carry even the most basic of swim gear and a change of clothes.
Answered by Edwin on 6/6/2016
Hi Hari, Depending on the dimensions of your computer and the other items you plan on carrying, the TYR Small Alliance backpack would be a great option if the swim gear is relatively small. The dimensions for the backpack are 11'' x 6.8'' x 15''. SwimOutlet recommends measuring the computer and other items to ensure it'll fit. Since the backpack also has 5 separate zippered compartments, you should have room for the other items, though, it really depends on how large those items are. In case the backpack may be too small, we recommend the TYR Alliance Team Backpack II if you were interested in a similar backpack, though larger. The dimensions for that backpack are 18.5" H x 13.25" W x 9.75" D.

The bag is 15" high X11" wide x 6.8" deep

Couldn't be better!
This pack is the perfect size to hold my daughter's swimming essentials. It has many zippered pockets and a waterproof pouch to hold her wet suit. There's a space for everything: shampoo, flip flops, towel, goggles. Very happy with this purchase!

Bought the backpack for my daughter to carry equipment and other items to swim meets and practice. The bag is great with plenty of room, she has personalized the bag with her name, great buy.
Huber Heights, OH
My daughter loves her backpack. She has room for everything. Very happy with my purchase.
Just what I was looking for!
I was looking for a bag for my 11 yo daughter to put all her swim stuff in. This bag is the perfect size for her and it holds 2 towels as well as her goggles, Crocs...you get the picture.Best part is she loves that it's a backpack so I don't have to carry it anymore.

Great backpack
I had been looking at this backpack for awhile for a small gym/swim workout bag. I read a lot of reviews and decided to take the plunge and I am ecstatic. I can put all my gym stuff in there (wrist straps, gloves, headband, Garmin 920, HRM, compression gear) plus swim gear (swim cap, goggles, swim shorts and flip flops) plus my running or workout shoes as well as my protein bars or drink. There is still room for my trigger point massage balls and a few other small items.

Perfect size for pool workouts
Nice contour to the back. Nice assortment of pockets. It fits the following perfectly: paddles, fins (I use short fins; it would not work for normal length fins), pull buoy, suit, towel, goggles. Nice wet pocket. Nice side pockets for water bottle and shampoo. Great bag.

Perfect bag for the youth swimmer
Just gave to my 10 year old swimmer for Christmas and she was ecstatic! Solid construction and plenty of room, plus secure compartments mean I don't worry about what she's going to lose each week :) I love that this bag is smaller than the standard size- most kids look like they are going to tip over in the bigger bags, but this one is perfect. Thanks!

My granddaughter loves her swimbag.She can keep everything in separate compartments.

Great for young kids
I wanted to find the right bag for my kids (7 and 5) that wasn't too small that it didn't hold all their stuff (suit, towel, snorkel, goggles, fins) and not too big that it was difficult for them to carry. This bag is PERFECT! It holds everything and more. It's a bit big but completely manageable for them to carry or put on their back. Plus they can grow into it. Highly recommend!

Founded in Southern California in 1985, TYR™ has since developed a reputation for high-quality products and equipment. TYR competition swimwear and triathlon gear have been a dominant force in their respective industries. The company is also known for its TYR goggles, swim apparel, triathlon wetsuits and a wide variety of swimming equipment.
TYR was the first company to introduce a pair of goggles designed to fit a woman's face (the TYR T-72). TYR was also responsible for the famous red bathing suits featured on the hit television series "Baywatch." TYR consults with current and former athletes when developing its products. Swimmers know that TYR is a leader in swimsuits, warm-up suits, and swim training equipment. The TYR Tracer Series is one of the most advanced technical suit lines on the market. The TYR Hurricane wetsuits and the TYR Torque collections include top-of-the-line suits for the competitive swimmer.
TYR has also moved into competitive running equipment. From running shirts to shorts, its apparel is designed with the runner in mind. Built with moisture wicking fabric and antimicrobial material, TYR running apparel is designed to give the athlete the most comfortable, dry clothing on the market.
The name "TYR" is derived from the Norse god of warriors, who is said to have embodied victory and glory. Much the same can be said about the athletes who started TYR. Executive Vice President, Steve Furniss, was an Olympian who competed in the 1972 and 1976 Summer Games, and captained the 76th U.S. Olympic Swim Team.

History of our Chapter
History of our Chapter Pymatuning Chapter, Sharon, Pennsylvania was organized February 25, 1920, when Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, Vice President General from Pennsylvania, came to install the officers.
The chapter's name is that of an authenticated Indian chieftain of the locality. The Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians inhabited most of Pennsylvania when the white man came. Pymatuning is thought to have been a Delaware chief. Pymatuning or Pihmtomink means a place where the man with the crooked mouth lived.
In the early years of the chapter we always remembered Ellis Island at Christmas. We previously gave to Constitution Hall, Valley Forge, and to the Penny Pine. During World War II, Pymatuning Chapter contributed to Red Cross, Community, and War Fund drives. Our members also supported the war effort by serving as USO senior hostesses at Camp Reynolds and canteen hostesses at the local USO center. Daughters knitted needed articles for service members, spending many hours in the Red Cross sewing rooms. Some of our Daughters were in charge of the war stamp booth at Woolworth's, while others served at blood banks where they worked as aides as well as blood donors.
We also previously gave prizes for the best historical essays written in the valley schools.
The application for a charter was made on April 29, 1921, although our chapter was organized on February 25, 1920. This was due to the inability to secure parchment skins for the charters. Miss Helen Flemming Reed was the Organizing Regent. We have had seven members who were honored with fifty years of service. Previously, Pymatuning Chapter made presentations of the DAR Manual for Citizenship and a small desk American flag with a stand to the Naturalization Court in Mercer, PA. However, the naturalization ceremonies are now conducted in Pittsburgh, PA.
In July 1981 a marker was placed on the grave of Anne Hartford Titus Blackstone, the daughter of an American Revolutionary soldier, Matthew Hartford, at the Oakland Cemetery in Sharon, PA. This was done in conjunction with Mrs. James Warren, a descendant of Matthew Hartford, who was Regent of Valley Forge Chapter at that time.
On May 21, 2011 a marker was placed on the grave of Terressa Quimby Carver, who was a real daughter of the American Revolutionary War soldier, Samuel Quimby, at the Oakland Cemetery in Sharon, PA. This was done in conjunction with Pittsburgh Chapter, where Terressa Quimby Carver was a member. She was the daughter of Samuel and Achsah Park Quimby. Her father Samuel Quimby served as a Private under Captain Howard, in the Regiment commanded by Col. Swisler of the New Jersey line for two years. He died September 9, 1842 and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery with military honors.
Pymatuning Chapter is active in the community upholding the DAR objectives of education, preservation, and patriotism. Each year the chapter presents twelve outstanding local high school seniors with DAR. The yearly recipients are our honored guests at a tea each November.
We have had seven members who were honored with fifty years of service. Our chapter gives to the Indian Scholarship Fund each year. Previously, Pymatuning Chapter made presentations of the DAR Manual for Citizenship and a small desk American flag with a stand to the Naturali-zation Court in Mercer, PA. However, the naturalization ceremonies are now con-ducted in Pittsburgh, PA.
Each year Good Citizen awards are given to seniors at twelve surrounding high schools in the area. The honored students are guests at a Good Citizens' Tea in April..
We currently support DAR schools with money, and by mailing soup labels to them that they can exchange for needed items.
One such school is Tamassee School which is a boarding school in Tamassee, South Carolina that provides a home and an education for needy, dependent children. The elementary school is for grades K-5, while the middle and high schools serve grades 6-12.
We send cards and other needed personalitems to military persons each month as part of Project Patriot and we are also are working on several projects for areaVeterans.
Each month money is donated to support the "Madonna of the Trail" project. This pro-ject endeavors to preserve the twelve stat-ues in twelve states of the Madonna of the Trail which honors the pioneer mothers who traveled westward. We subscribe in-dividually to American Spirit magazine.
Pymatuning Chapter is proud of its past, we look toward the future with delight and anticipation. Our regular meetings are held the first Saturday of each month from September through June at Hermitage Municipal Building, Hermitage, PA at 1:00 PM. Please contact our Regent if you would like to join us. We welcome your inquiries.

Making life easier
Today I had a brainwave! I needed to bring the washing in from the clothsline & it was such a beautiful day so I decided to spend a little extra time outside so my toddler could have a play. As I took the clothes off the line I folded as I went & took each family members things off in order so that the clothes were in each persons pile ready to be put straight into the cupboard. It was so easy folding clothes that way without having a toddler unfold everything im trying to fold (Im sure every mum can relate!). The thing is its so simple I felt silly for not thinking to do it earlier! It got me thinking though, what do other mummies out there do thats so quick & simple but just makes life that little bit easier?

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! If you haven't seen videos from me in a few days there are a couple of reasons why... I'm still learning about my camera and editing software, and also my parents were down for a couple of days- my dad had a workshop down here and he and mom were able to come watch one of my newscasts live in the studio! It was awesome.
I've had some questions about my makeup in the most recent videos- (2-9 haul, qotw valentine's makeup) thanks for all the kind comments! My face makeup has been the same as what I've had on in many of my recent videos, but I believe the new camera picks up on color better and makes my face look more like what it truly looks like- i.e. the color shows up better. So for a quick refresher, here are the face products I've been using:
**************************-Rimmel Lasting Finish or Stay Matte foundation (both are the EXACT same shade-Soft Beige so they look very similar)
-Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit in Natural + Corrector in Bisque
-Mary Kay Loose powder
-Milani Sunset Duos bronzer (shades vary- but I use the matte tan shade in the duos)
-Cover Girl Cheekers blush in Golden Pink (contour)
-Milani Minerals Blush in Mai Tai (apples of cheeks)
****************************As for the eye makeup- I've been experimenting all week with the MAC stuff I recently bought (posted product pics in a recent blog post, there's also a haul video about it). I've discovered that the look I've been using is EXTREMELY long wearing. When you see me in those videos, that's me at the end of my day (I anchor morning news and get up far before the crack of dawn). I haven't touched up at all before doing these videos and I feel the eye makeup has been holding up GREAT. Here's how to get the look!
1. Apply Too Faced Shadow Insurance All Over lid (I've decided this is better than Mary Kay eye primer)
2. Smooth MAC Rubenesque Paint Pot all over lid (I think this is a big key to the long-wear aspect)
3. Apply MAC's Naked Lunch shadow all over lid
4. Apply MAC's Sketch (a brownish-plum) in crease, concentrating on outer "V"
5. Use Cover Girl's Golden Sunrise for a light wash of golden color under brow bone
6. Use MAC's Naked Lunch right under the highest part of your arch for extra highlight
7. Line top lashline with Femme Couture Mineral Effects liquid liner in Brown
8. Line halfway in on the bottom lashline with Revlon Colorstay pencil liner in Black-Brown
9. Line the rest of the lower lashline with Sketch shadow, using an angled liner brush
10. Curl lashes, apply one coat of L'oreal Lash Out mascara, then use Salon Perfect lashes (the ones that are to be applied only out the outer half of your lid- makes a nice cat eye look). Apply one more coat of Lash Out to blend real & falsies together.
*FYI... I shot a video on this, and then once I loaded it into my editing program, I accidentally deleted it. like I said before, I'm still learning! LOL. I'll likely try to shoot this again though, since I think it's a valuable tutorial for those looking for a nice long-wearing shadow look.
Have a great weekend everone!

The ocean holds a special place in our hearts and on April 12th and 13th, a music festival filled with fun and philanthropy will take place on the shores of Ft. Lauderdale to 'Help Save Our Seas.' The city of sun and surf will rock South Florida as it welcomes Rock The Ocean's' Tortuga Music Festival.
'Rock The Ocean' is solely dedicated to supporting scientific research and education, all the while, bringing a greater awareness to the issues that have continually plagued our oceans. The mission of this charitable organization is to reduce overfishing, stop shark finning and try to control reef degradation. Through this exciting musical festival, 'Rock The Ocean' will show you what an impact we can all make. Every year, 39 million tons of unwanted fish are inhumanely killed and then dumped right back into the ocean. Sharks are part of the ocean's natural ecosystem but their population continues to shrink in record numbers. We must put a stop to this. One of the culprits of reef degradation is the destructive lionfish, a fish that devours everything on the reef and in its path. We must do our best to try and wipe out this species once and for all.
Through the tireless efforts of this organization, they make ocean conservation their top priority and reach out to water enthusiasts and conservationists through benefit concerts, brand partnerships and entertainment industry events.
Strong support from partners such as Diver's Direct, Guy Harvey, South Florida Ford, Huka Entertainment and Corona Extra make this event possible with a gracious generosity.
Some of the biggest names in music will be here to perform for a packed crowd at Rock The Ocean's Tortuga Music Festival. Sheryl Crow, Ziggy Marley, 38 Special, Luke Bryan and Eric Church are just some of the headliners that will make their way to the stage.
Learning about the ocean can be informative and fun as you make sure to visit Guy Harvey's Conservation Village at the Tortuga Music Festival. Attendees will have the amazing opportunity to learn even more about the ocean, about marine wildlife, take part in interactive games, and above all, learn how each one of us can play an active role in saving our oceans and practicing ocean conservation.
If you don't feel like worrying about parking, the water taxi and shuttle transportation will be on hand to transport guests back and forth.
Other than being in the water and scuba diving, what better way to spend a weekend? For more information, go to www.tortugamusicfestival.com.

A new special distribution event has been detailed for the recently-released "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y." According to a report from Shack News on May 24, players will be able to acquire a "Fancy Pattern" version of Vivillon. The pocket monster, which is a part of the new creatures that were added with the sixth-generation, resembles a butterfly and comes with different patterns.
The distribution event will be unlocked after the amount of pocket monsters traded using the global trading system has surpassed the 100 million milestone. Nintendo disclosed that approximately 90 million creatures have been transferred worldwide so far. After the milestone has been set, Nintendo is instructing fans to stay tuned for more information as to how to receive the gift. You can find a screen featuring the "Fancy Pattern" Vivillon from the official Facebook page of the franchise near the top of this article. The details about the promotion can be found below:
Now, an additional pattern of Vivillon has been discovered that breaks with tradition. To celebrate the 100 million Pokémon traded via the GTS, the Fancy Pattern Vivillon will soon be available! Currently, about 90 million Pokémon have been traded worldwide. Once we reach 100 million, you'll be able to receive Fancy Pattern Vivillon via a special distribution event. So we're calling on everyone to keep trading so we hit that huge milestone! Once the goal is reached, check back at Pokemon.com to find out how to get the Fancy Pattern Vivillon into your Pokémon X or Pokémon Y game.
Vivillon is categorized as a combination of the bug and flying types. In "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y," Scatterbug will be able to evolve into Spewpa at level 9. Spewpa can then transform into Vivillon at level 12. The patterns on the creature's wings are based on the climates of the areas in which they are found. However, it appears that the only way to obtain the "Fancy Pattern" version is through the upcoming special distribution event.
Aside from Vivillon, Nintendo previously gifted players with a Torchic with a mega evolution stone for its final form, Blaziken. The promotion lasted for several months and ended early this year. The other distribution event, a gift of Celebi for those who use the "Pokemon Bank" application, is still ongoing. The aforesaid milestone should be approaching soon considering that more than 12 million customers have purchased "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" so far worldwide after both games came out on Oct. 12 of last year.

The River, 1980
Springsteen's first top 10 hit was almost the one that got away: He initially planned to give the song to the Ramones (after seeing them at a club in Asbury Park), until Jon Landau successfully argued that he'd be crazy not to keep it for himself. Landau was right, of course. The lyrics, about a guy who walks out on his wife and kids, are actually pretty dark, but you'd never know it from the sunny Beach Boys melody and arrangement; co-producer Chuck Plotkin sped up the tape on the track so Springsteen's voice would sound higher. "It just had this groove," Van Zandt said. "So I said, 'Let's get some extra-high harmony on it.'"

Welcome back to the flatlands of West Texas, cotton tracts as far as the eye can see and nary a hill between you and the horizon. Where the WVU football team had its season dashed is where the hoops squad hopes to have its season restored.
Tip-off is 1:30 Eastern today inside United Spirit Arena, a 15,098-seat facility named after the local supermarket chain whose motto is "Texans proudly serving Texans." (Though they have no qualms selling Shiner Bock to a fellow from West Virginia.)
The Mountaineers are 4-point favorites today, but be leery — the football team was favored by the same amount in October. On we go to the five keys:

West Virginia was one of four finalists for Jojo Kemp, but the three-star running back from DeLand (Fla.) High School committed to Kentucky via webcast Friday night.
"Kemp would have been a major pickup for West Virginia at the running back position, especially considering that the Mountaineers weren't considered the favorites entering the final week," said Keenan Cummings, senior writer for WVSports.com of the Rivals network.

My favorite class is definitely the acrobat, shes fast! able to combo amazingly, each move connects and flows together so well its like dancing with arrows. 1 solid combo can take out 3/4 a players life ? . she also looks good as a character :D plus im a ranger in all games :) -- Nathan F.
Priests are my favorite class because they can heal, tank, survive, and support a party. They are great in team battles which is what Dragon Nest is about. Priests embody everything that a teams needs in order to work together well. Priests are very good at protecting their comrades and even can stand on their own in 1v1 pvp.

The degree is granted by the University of residence. A combined Pharm.D./Ph.D. degree also can be pursued at the Medical University of South Carolina.
A minimum of three years of full-time graduate study is required for the Ph.D. Two years of Ph.D. residency may be transferred from other institutions of approved graduate standing. Management of the program is vested in a Joint Coordinating Committee; members are selected from the graduate faculties of both universities. The student's advisory Committee is selected from among the graduate faculties at both colleges of pharmacy and from other colleges on both University campuses and chaired by the student's advisor.
The several areas of concentration are complementary for the two colleges of pharmacy. It is the student's choice of concentration area that determines his/her primary institution. The various areas of concentration and corresponding primary institutions are:
Medical University of South Carolina
Bioorganic/Medicinal Chemistry
Cell Death, Injury and Regeneration
University of South Carolina
Pharmacy Administration
Medicinal Chemistry
The approved program of study is central to meeting program objectives and precisely delineates all requirements to be fulfilled by the student. Included in the approved program of study are background deficiencies to be met, any foreign language requirement, all required and elective graduate courses, graduate credits to be transferred from other institutions, and approval of any parts of the program to be executed at other institutions. Courses in related departments and colleges on both University campuses and the participating cross-registration campuses are available for development of the approved program.
The program is adaptable to the needs and interests of those with degrees in pharmacy, chemistry, biological sciences, and other areas. Many applicants will be graduates of an accredited College of Pharmacy. To ensure an adequate background for graduate work in pharmaceutical sciences, all applicants must have completed or must complete acceptable courses in:
Organic Chemistry
Any exceptions to these requirements must have appropriate approval.
Graduate credits from other institutions may be accepted with appropriate approval. No more than 20 semester hours of transfer credit may be applied toward the Ph.D. Transferred credits must have been completed within eight years prior to granting the Ph.D. research credit. Courses in which less than a B average has been earned are not transferrable. If the eight-year period for the doctorate is exceeded, no more than 12 hours may be considered, and validation by examination is mandatory. For information, see https://www.sccp.sc.edu/musc_pharmacy_graduate
To pursue the Pharm.D./Ph.D. degree, students must be accepted into both the College of Graduate Studies and College of Pharmacy at the Medical University of South Carolina. For information, see http://wizard.musc.edu/pharmd_phd.pdf

Drug Discovery and Biomedical Sciences Course Descriptions
The number of semester hours is designated by s.h.
BMB-535A. Bioorganic Chemistry. A systematic study of the electronic and structural properties of biomolecules and their function as a result of these properties. The material represents a natural extension of the principles of both organic chemistry and biochemistry. Protein chemistry, enzyme mechanisms and cofactor functionality are among the topics covered. Prerequisite: basic organic chemistry. 4 s.h. Fall.
DDBS-712. Drug Discovery and Molecular Pharmacology. This elective explores the scientific principles underlying targeted drug design. Medicinal chemistry is integrated with molecular biology in the context of identifying tomorrow's best-in-class drugs. The interdependence of pharacodynamic and pharmacokinetic structure-activity relationships will be discussed as a feature of drug discovery. 3 s.h. Spring.
DDBS-715. Environmental Stress Signaling and Cellular Consequences. This course will provide advanced knowledge on the mechanisms of cell responses to a wide range of environmental stresses including chemical, physical, anoxia/reperfusion and other pathogens. The course focuses on the signal transduction pathways leading to cell injury, carcinogenesis, necrosis, apoptosis, repair, regeneration, adaptation, and cytoprotection. We will cover the events at system, cellular and protection levels; however, emphasis is given to the interactions among intracellular signaling pathways. This course is useful for all biomedical students and, in particular, for students who completed the course "Cellular Defense Against Foriegn Chemicals" and want to continue their understanding of the effects of environmental stress at cellular and molecular levels. 4 s.h. Spring
DDBS-722. Light Microscopy for the Biomedical Sciences. This one-week hands-on course provides a solid introduction to the concepts and practical applications of light microscopy relevant to modern cell and molecular biology. Students will have opportunities for extensive hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment for optical imaging, digital image processing, and fluorescence and confocal/multiphoton microscopy guided by experienced academic and commercial faculty.
DDBS-726. Advanced Medicinal Chemistry. This course covers advanced topics of medicinal chemistry related to the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Emphasis is on the strategy for stereochemical induction, functional group transformations, retrosynthetic analyses and catalytic reactions. The course involves didactic lectures and workshops targeted to synthetic design. 3 s.h. Spring.
DDBS-741. Organ Systems Toxicology. A minimum of three lectures hours will be devoted to each organ system. A brief review of each organ system will be given at the beginning of the topic session. One or two examples of toxic agents for each organ system will be discussed, including proposed mechanisms of action and possible therapeutic interventions in the case of intoxication. Selected manuscripts from the literature illustrating toxic response to the organ system will be given out at the beginning of each organ system topic. The papers will be discussed in the final hour of the topic session. 3 s.h. Fall.
DDBS-762. Mitochondrial Biology. Mitochondria are involved in many of the cell's vital processes, which include the production of energy for the cells and apoptosis. Many common diseases are due to underlying mitochondrial dysfunction thus it is imperative that students receive fundamental current knowledge of mitochondrial biology and the state of the art techniques used in the field today. Prerequisites: First year curriculum 2 s.h. Spring.

There's plenty to celebrate and be thankful for all this week so no need to wallow in any sort of Monday misery. Instead I suggest we all hike up our Party Pants, while they still properly fit, and get out there and rage it up! There's a bunch of fun stuff happening all week long so kick things off in style by getting up and therefore getting down this Monday evening!
There'll be some free bluegrass downstairs at Empire Dine and Dance in Portland where you can take in some fine, traditional bluegrass courtesy of Portland's own bluegrass supergroup, The Stowaways, as well as participate in an open bluegrass jam session that starts downstairs right around 6. So bring something to pick and/or pluck and get ready to jam out, The Stowaways will keep your toes tapping with a set of tunes that'll start after the open jam right around 8pm.
Some free Monday night action will be happening over at RiRa on Commercial Street in Portland where yet another installment of Evan Walsh aka EvGuy's open mic series takes place. Each and every Monday evening EvGuy hosts his own version of an adult talent show starting right around 8 o'clock. Instruments are provided and if you can't actually play one, EvGuy will be more than happy to bang out a manageable version of a song for you to sing along to.
Tonight also marks another fun and funky jam session known as The Players Ball over at The Big Easy in Portland. Tonight musicians and music lovers alike are welcome to come play with and/or watch some of the most talented cats around do their thing on stage. If you come to play you get in for free and if you're just coming by to take in the spectacle of it all its only three bucks. Things get fun, funky and collaborative beginning at 9 o'clock.

Brown University
I keep repeating my new mantra over and over again: "Brown is not the enemy". It's pretty hard for me to believe after years of being a black devotee. I never thought that the colour of human excrement, dirt and most Ugg boots deserved a place in my wardrobe until recently. It wasn't an epiphany, just a gradual shift in beliefs. Perhaps it had something to do with this Marc Jacobs bag. It might have been these C Label pumps. Or it could have something to do with Fall's grunge insurgence. Either way, brown's classic appeal is becoming clearer to me one awesome designer piece at a time...

the marc bag would be so fookin nice if it weren't for the hideous logos splashed all over it.

Since the launch of DC Comics' "New 52," there's been a face lurking in the background, releasing all sorts of strange tidings into the newly-rebooted DCU. This summer, Pandora will finally step into the light.
Today at Emerald City Comic Con, DC announced a brand new series starring the mystery character who's had huge if hidden role in the new DCU. Titled "Trinity of Sin: Pandora," the comic is written by Ray Fawkes and drawn by Daniel Sampere. Launching in June, the book will serve as a compliment to ideas already growing in JM DeMatteis' "Phantom Stranger" comic which itself will be retitled "Trinity of Sin: Phantom Stranger" that month.
Created by DC CCO Geoff Johns and Co-Publisher Jim Lee, Pandora first appeared at the end of 2011's "Flashpoint" event where she played a key role in combining the various core worlds of the DC Multiverse into the New 52 continuity. From there, the character was worked into the background of every New 52 #1 before getting an origin story alongside Phantom Stranger and the Question as part of DC's New 52 Free Comic Book Day offering last year. The character has since proved a more proactive if still mysterious member of the DCU in the pages of "Phantom Stranger."
CBR News has the exclusive first interview with Fawkes -- best known for his work on Oni Press''' "One Soul" as well as the just-launched DC title "Constantine" -- who explained that Pandora's role in the multiverse is not yet done. Below, the writer tells how the high profile gig came his way, what he makes of the character's feelings over unleashing so much strangeness into the world and why "Trinity of Sin: Pandora" will feature the entire DC Universe.
CBR News: Ray, obviously this announcement is going to perk a lot of people's ears up just by the nature of who Pandora has been so far in the DCU. She was created with a purpose (however mysterious) by some of the DC executive team. What can you sat at this point about how the character was presented to you by Jim, Dan and Geoff? What drew you to this assignment and this character as a writer?
Ray Fawkes: Pandora was presented to me with a certain set of parameters, yeah, but Jim, Dan, and Geoff were shockingly open to my interpretations of her, her purpose, and her m.o. when I pitched my vision of the series. This was not a case of top-down dictation by any stretch, and while I had to keep my eye on her intended purpose, I was encouraged to go all out in making Pandora into someone I would be excited to write about. So I did!
And how could that not draw me to the series? This incredibly mysterious, incredibly tragic character who I could stamp with my own brand of darkness, and poetry, and madness -- not to mention, there isn't a single character in the New 52 who hasn't shivered to feel her pass nearby. We can literally take her anywhere.
Pandora is mysterious in many ways but in the few times we've seen her in "Phantom Stranger" she hasn't been totally kept in the dark. I get the sense that she'll continue to grow in her defiance to the fate set before her. What do you view as her specific goals from issue #1 moving forward?
Her specific goals? To end the undying curse that she believes she never deserved, and to make everyone who ever had anything to do with saddling her with it pay, and pay, and pay. Her time of "tears, shame, and isolation" are over. Now it's time for violence and rage.
Of course, both this Pandora and the Pandora of myth are known for unleashing horrors upon the world and dealing with the consequences of that personally. How does the impact of her past transgressions define who she is now, and what odds would you lay on her unleashing some more trouble before you're done here?
Well, she's spent thousands of years crossing the globe, over and over again, hearing her name cursed for all the evils of the world. She carries this unfathomable guilt and this searing anger with her -- guilt because she may very well be responsible for all this suffering, and anger because she thinks she never had a chance to avoid unleashing it. She has reason to believe the game was fixed. So she's had all the time in the world to crawl through every kind of shame and pain and remorse you can imagine, and she's come out on the other side of it with a strong, pure sense of purpose. Is that going to lead to more trouble? Yeah, of course it is. But trouble for whom?
As for the feel of the series overall, the DCU is a place where a lot of different styles of comic can exist right next to each other. How would you describe the tone you're going for? Classic mystery horror in the vein of things like "Phantom Stranger" and "House of Secrets"? More action-oriented superhero fare? Something in between?
Neither? Both? "Trinity of Sin: Pandora" is an action/horror title. It's about a blistering quest for vengeance, no-holds barred, with blatant disregard for the costs incurred -- until it breaks, like a bloody wave. Then it's about something else entirely, and I'm not going to give that away just yet.
Your artist, Daniel Sampere, is going to be a new face to a lot of readers. At this point, what's your impression of his style and how it'll go along with the story you're setting out to tell?
I worked with Daniel on the two-issue BATGIRL fill-in I wrote -- issues 17 and 18 -- and he brought a real sense of energy and dynamic power to the page, and also drew a beautiful Batgirl. He delivered atmosphere and shadow and heat just magnificently in that title. I think he'll be just perfect for this book.
One of the biggest questions that'll be following you around as this book gets ready to debut is one of its broader connection to the DCU. Of course, Pandora was instrumental in the birth of the New 52 universe, which takes us into territory defined bystories like "Crisis On Infinite Earths" and the like. In a general sense, what's your take on those kinds of multiversal stories? What kinds of things can creators do with that setup that they couldn't otherwise?
I love multiversal stories, because all the normal barriers to sense and proportion come down. A writer can really go hog wild with a good multiverse, you know? And some of my favourite DC stories always had to do with crossing between parallel realities, crashing universes together, and casting one world as a twisted reflection of another. Just think of the thrill of books like Crisis on Infinite Earths, or the old yearly crossovers of the JLA & JSA. Not to mention Morrison & Quitely's elegant JLA: Earth 2, or the frankly staggering Final Crisis.
Since Pandora showed up in the first issue of every New 52 series, I think there'll be a fair bit of expectation that she wont' be going through this book all by her lonesome. Any thoughts on what kinds of hero guest spots are built into the DNA of this book?
Everybody. Everybody is going to be in this book.
Is there a difference in approach that comes with writing an "important" piece of continuity? This character and book seem to be on the path to lynchpin status for upcoming events at DC. Does that make it more of a challenge than something like "Constantine" where you get to work in your own playground to a certain extent?
No difference at all. I mean, in terms of my approach, I'm concentrating on the story of that character's unfolding adventure -- be it Pandora or John Constantine -- and while the outside edges of that adventure might be influenced by continuity, the focus is entirely on the star, and how he or she thinks, acts, and feels as events play out. Careful readers will note that the main character of a book may have an entirely different spin on continuity-wide events than everybody else, anyway -- resulting in two completely different depictions of the same occurrence. For me, a great example is the Swamp Thing back in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. In the crossover event, he's standing in a crowd on a satellite in, if I recall correctly, one panel. In his own book, we see that very same gathering, and its significance is recast entirely through his eyes, playing out as a series of pages anchoring an entire chapter of his story. Something like that may happen with Pandora, but in her book, everything is only important in how it relates to her and her quest.
This series won't be alone in the "Trinity of Sin" branding. DC's "Phantom Stranger" series will be picking up a similar distinction, and of course a trinity wouldn't be a trinity without its third member the Question lurking somewhere. What's it been like at this early stage seeing what JM DeMatteis is doing in his book, and how might all these threads grow together as the history of these three characters takes shape?
It's great! The thrill here is that different writers and artists are bringing their different sensibilities to these books, and that is reflected in the characters -- they are very distinct, and all the more fascinating for it. No doubt the threads will cross and tangle -- these three characters are a named Trinity, after all, whether they like it or not. But what the Phantom Stranger wants, and what Pandora wants, and the Question too, are nothing alike -- so the tensions of the Trinity are honestly too interesting not to explore.
"Trinity of Sin: Pandora" launches in June from DC Comics.

The American Century Championship, that annual celeb golf love-in at Edgewood Tahoe, kicks off its 25th anniversary edition July 18, with a former U.S. Open winner in the field.
Annika Sorenstam, the retired LPGA star who once teed it up in a PGA Tour event and who also once shot a 59 during her LPGA career, is again going to play with the boys. From the same tees. Only this time she's the favorite, in overwhelming fashion. Harrah's/Harveys sportsbook has Annika at even odds. Retired quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver, the 2013 winner, is listed at 9/2 odds. Rick Rhoden, who's won the event multiple times is at 5/1 odds.
"Right now this is the biggest thing I'm going to play," she said after being asked about a possible LPGA comeback. "The last few years I've been on the beach with friends on a boat (watching the tournament)." Where else can you do that?
She'll tee off on the first hole at 11:20 along with John Elway and John Smoltz. One of the more fun or funnier groups on Friday will be Charles Barkeley, Larry the Cable Guy and comic actor Kevin Nealon. The comedy should be good because the golf won't be.
NFL Hall of Famer and Golf Channel Big Break NFL Puerto Rico winner, Jerry Rice, will have his teamate from the event, Isaac "Sasquatch" Sanchez caddieing for him. They were a winning pair on the Golf Channel reality show and will be a striking pair on the golf course as the tatooed, pierced, Fu Manchu wearing Sanchez advises Rice on club selection. Look for them to get some TV time over the weekend.

From the bounty of quality golf course experiences in the basin to the abundance of summer watersports; boating, waterskiing, parasailing to cycling, hiking, fishing, gaming, entertainment, camping, horseback riding dining, and then add in the winter snow sports, Lake Tahoe is a destination like no other. And being inclusive of Truckee and Graeagle areas, it offers a large bounty of quality golf experiences.
Old Greenwood, a superb Jack Nicklaus design with 80 bunkers lures you in with open fairways that demand accurate second shots. The Golf Academy at Old Greenwood, under the expert direction of PGA Professional Keith Lyford offers an unparalleled setting to improve one's game, one component at a time.
Schaeffer's Mill, also in Truckee is morphing into the top of the Truckee hill. Though Johnny Miller was the designer, he was joined at Schaeffer's Mill by the late John Harbottle who was a premier architect. The result is a course that is actually helping to sell condos in the still challenged real estate market. Play Schaefer's Mill while you can, as it will be a fully private course soon, as it was planned to be from the beginning.
Tickets to the American Century Championship at Edgewood Lake Tahoe golf course are available at the gate.

Thanks for another great show! You hinted at a longer look at audio in devices in the future and I think that would be great. The ad hoc network demo was brilliant.

That used to be a good place, with great reviews... Now, it's look like some dumb "TV shopping show"...

Great show, Nick! But don't make it too hectic, relax :-) It doesn't matter if the show gets longer.

Thank you yet again for another excellent episode. Gentlemen, you educate, inform and entertain. I read online somewhere that Animoog can be controlled by apps such as Beatmaker 2 and Genome. Is there any chance you could produce a show detailing how one would achieve this? Many thanks.

I couldn't agree more with Columbian readers who have complained about the National Park Service. It would seem the NPS would want to support their local communities rather than allow bureaucratic nonsense to cause such an issue and harm such a positive community resource as the Pearson Air Museum.
I believe the NPS would be better served with a superintendent who could resolve issues, not create them.
