Design | Camera
Battery Life
Software | S Pen
I have a Samsung GALAXY S III, and I am in love with it; or at least I was until the Samsung GALAXY Note II arrived on my doorstep. I can say with confidence that this is one of the top tier smart phones out on the market. It's the best of both worlds, half smart phone, half tablet, a "phablet".
The Samsung GALAXY Note II was modeled after the Samsung GALAXY S III. Just as the original Note was modeled after the Samsung GALAXY S II. The Note II retains the same glossy finishing as in the S III. I personally continue to find this a dissatisfying feature with mobile devices. It scratches easily and leaves imprints from greasy fingers. Another negative aspect to the gloss is the texture. It feels slippery in your hands, and I have almost had a few slip ups and dropped the device.
The 1.9 front and 8 MP rear cameras are carried over from the Samsung GALAXY S III. They are placed in the same fashion of the S III as well. Although this has been my biggest dissapointment with the Note II, it holds some sweet features that I will talk about later.
Even though this phone dons a screen bigger than 5 inches, it's still relatively light and thin. The phone measures at 9.4 millimeters thick and weighs roughly 6.46 ounces. The S-Pen is located in its dock at the bottom right of the device. Besides the S-Pen, you should be familiar with the phones lay out if you have had a previous experience with the Samsung GALAXY S III.
The Note II sports a 5.5 inch 1280×720 HD Super AMOLED Display. This display is non-Pentile screen and the Note II actually uses an RGB matrix. A RGB OLED screen with over 230 PPI means it will have a low lifetime. The Note II has a PPI of 267 making it one of the highest PPI non-Pentile OLED display. The advantage no visible Pentile patterns. The display glass is made from a second generation Gorilla Glass (scratch resistant glass) which is no advancement from the material used in the S III.
Inside the phablet, there is a Cortex-A9 processor, which is a quad-core CPU clocked in at 1.6GHz. The phablet comes with an internal memory of 16/32/64 GB for data storage, a significant upgrade from the first note. The Note II can support a 64GB removable microSD card. This is an insane amount of memory. The RAM in the Note II is a whopping 2GB, which is more than enough for multitasking either games, work, or music. This machine also comes with built in NFC which allows the S-Beam function to work.
Battery Life
The Note II comes equipped with a removable 3100 mAh battery. I was able to get about 11 hours of usage out of the device. My tasks included note taking, drawing with the S-Pen, gaming, watching movies on Netflix, and setting up a personal launcher and layout for my apps. During stand by mode, the Note II was able to go more than 24 hours without a charge.
Having had a Galaxy S III, I was not impressed with the quality of the Note II's 8 MP rear camera and 1.9 MP front camera. They are the same sensor, and image quality looks the same. The Camera is loaded with features that come pre-loaded. You can now include burst shooting into your Single Shot mode. All I have to do is hold down the camera button, and this pup will shoot more than 6 frames per second with up to 20 shots. The "Low light" mode worked inefectively in our dimly lit office, it holds nothing can compared to the Nokia Lumia 920.
The video can record high speed and slow motion video. The mode I have had the most fun with is Best Faces. This shooting mode allows you to edit the faces of each person in a group photo by choosing the best face out of a given set. You can now take a goofy group photo to the next level.
The Galaxy Note II is one of the first Samsung smartphones that comes with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) right out of the box. With Jelly Bean you now get new software such as Google Now and the Blocking mode. This is a function similar to Do not disturb in iOS6, it is software that allows you to ignore calls and notifications for a scheduled period of time.
The touchwiz launcher used in the S III is present in this device. The Note II includes a Wacom Digitizer just as its predecessor did. The Galaxy Note II features a new gallery that utilizes the large screen and the powerful hardware of this machine. The lay out is set up to easily organize and create new photos. This includes a command that allows you to arrange your albums in a timeline view, a cascading timeline view, and a grid view. It wouldn't be called the Note if you couldn't take notes on the back of your pictures. Tapping on the photo and selecting Draw on image from the menu tab allows you to flip the picture over and do exactly that.
Suddenly, I have found myself productively working from my phone. I have worked on-the-go before, but I have never had a more efficient experience until the Note II. In the past, it has been a headache navigating my phone to do work. With the Note II's new split screen feature it's the opposite, I'm having fun. All phones need this. If other developers aren't taking notes, no pun intended, they're going to be left in the dust. The split screen feature makes navigation on your mobile device a breeze. It enables you to multitask, such as surfing the web and checking my e-mail or text messages simultaneously on one screen. I do not know what I am going to do with my life when I have to return this phone to the good folks at Samsung. Seriously, how will I ever browse the internet ever again?
S Pen
I had to save the best for last. The Note II couldn't be what it is without its handy S Pen. Now this is a new S Pen that is slightly upgraded from the stylus of yesterday. The S Pen is slightly thicker this time around. It feels durable in the hand and fits comfortably. The S Pen features use up a little bit of battery life. You do have the option to turn these features on or off. I first tried the Open Popup Note. Upon removing the S Pen, a small window opened to take notes. This handy tool opens on top of other apps allowing you to easily multitask. Air View is a feature that enables the Note II to detect the point of the stylus when held a centimeter from the screen. You can preview content in small windows by holding the S Pen above the screen. It even works in the web browser acting just like a mouse on your PC. Samsung improved on the S Pen cropping. On the Note II, you can now clip images without taking a screen shot.

HNN775 - Cardiac Care Nursing 2
Unit details
|2016 unit information
|Enrolment modes:
Trimester 2: Cloud (online)^
|Credit point(s):
|EFTSL value:
|Unit chair:
Gabby Burdeu
|Incompatible with:
|Contact hours:
Theoretical component 3 hours per week - a combination of classes, cloud (online) modules and seminars. Students will be expected to undertake an additional 7 hours per week of independent study
This unit is part of the Cardiac Care Specialty stream of the Master of Nursing Practice for students who are also employed in a suitable clinical area in partnership with Deakin University.
^Students enrol as Cloud (online) students, however there are significant campus requirements.
This unit is one of two in this trimester focusing on further developing the speciality knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required for advanced cardiac care nursing practice. There is a focus on refining the student's ability to identify, synthesise, analyse and critically evaluate complex data from patient and technologically-derived sources to identify risk and inform decisions that deliver safe, high quality nursing care and promote optimal patient outcomes. The nurse's role in being a high performing member of the multidisciplinary health team with strong communication skills is emphasised. Through engagement with the unit material, clinical practice and personal reflection, students will develop greater decision making autonomy, critical thinking and leadership skills, advanced clinical judgement, and enhanced professionalism.
The unit is designed to prepare nurses for specialty cardiac care practice and covers principles, concepts and therapeutic nursing and collaborative management of: sepsis and multi-organ failure; complex medical, interventional and surgical cardiac conditions including acute coronary syndrome; endocrine disorders; and cardiac rehabilitation. A strong focus of the unit is the clinical risk management and quality nursing care required for cardiac patients undergoing interventional procedures.
Assessment task 1: Assignment (1500 words) 40%
Assessment task 2: Examination (1.5 hours) 40%
Assessment task 3: Tests (3) 20%
Assessment task 4: Clinical assessment pass/fail, satisfactory completion of clinical competency hurdles and assessment.
Both the theoretical and clinical components of the assessment must be passed in order to successfully gain an overall pass in this unit. Compulsory clinical hurdles form part of the assessment of this unit. Recognition of the importance of clinical assessments is calculated in the overall student workload.
Note: Failure of a compulsory clinical practicum component in a unit will normally lead to exclusion.

Vt. town's road signs stolenMay 13,2013THETFORD Officials in a small Vermont town say more than half the towns road signs have been stolen over the past few months.
Thetford Public Works Director Scott Knowlton said 50 of the towns aluminum signs identifying the names of roads have been pilfered, possibly for to sell as scrap metal, but none of the towns traffic signs have been stolen.
The Valley News reported that the town on Thursday ordered 27 replacement signs from the states prison system, where inmates produce them, and expects to order more in the coming weeks.
Police Chief Jim Lanctot said the thefts could potentially cause problems for emergency response vehicles responding to calls and for out-of-towners who arent familiar with the town.MORE IN This Just InIve written much lately about the need for better media literacy and the importance of vetting...

She is healthy right now and really wants to go to school. I do not currently know of cases in her school, but her best friend's brother is home with fever.

Aside from a plate of undiluted ice, there could be few better lunchtime delicacies than Local Natives' wholesome Cali-folk shtick on a day like this and with the temperature nudging thirty beyond Rough Trade East's vitreous storefront, it's the heat of rife anticipation which slowly arises within. For a band with a Brixton Academy date already booked in for the autumn, irrespective of it only just about being the afternoon by the time they amble onstage this is a remarkably intimate, and with it special show and, purely acoustic, the troop proffer a rare insight into a masterfully pared back aesthetic.
It's nigh on the absolute antithesis of their barnstorming Glastonbury performance just last month, not only in terms of size and how visible the whites of eyes might therefore be but also in that whereas then, dual frontmen Taylor Rice and Kelcey Ayer were united in crestfallen grandeur, they this afternoon batter up as almost opposing forces. They're umpired as it were by guitarist Ryan Hahn, who to all intents and purposes forms the fulcrum of their hour as he dislocates the two Silver Lake statesman onstage, his harmonies unexpectedly hauled right to the fore. And indeed regardless of who just so happens to lead whichever number, the instore acoustic scenario allows for the band's every vocalist to lay their various talents bare. This is one that's audaciously delivered, and more often than not its participants prove themselves to be more than capable of standing up to the test when taken to task.
Following on from a decidedly "public" soundcheck, the atmosphere begins to really simmer toward the admittedly albeit fairly well air-conditioned rear of the room. Though musically, much of the immaculate Hummingbird – first birthed in what now feels a distant winter – is given a thorough dressing down by its multitudinous daddies: from the newly berceuse-like Breakers to a dewy Ceilings at once at odds with the oppressive heat of this balmy June afternoon, the album is inspiringly decorated with life anew. Though if these acoustic takes were recomposed of empty hours out on the road, then this is quite incontrovertibly far more than your average tour bus tomfoolery and an unprecedentedly rousing Heavy Feet attests quite wondrously to this. With Ayer's vivid lyricisms of despair and impending detachment made heartbreakingly patent by sonic circumstance, its twitchy brilliance is reconfigured a work glorious as it is gut-wrenching. That you're stood a mere metre or two from its author as he breathtakingly soothes its downcast stanzas only intensifies its hefty impact and musically too, the hushed breakdown in this breakup recount is majestically retranslated.
And without question, it's Ayer who triumphs in the soi-disant shootout aforementioned for it's an exceptionally pared back You & I of his crooning that seduces further with yet an again crafty guile although elsewhere, extempore virtuosity takes hold: Wooly Mammoth, an appositely elephantine rhythmic beast on record, is afforded a sci-fi synth redux replete with rudimentary drum pad workouts in order that it sounds unprecedentedly languid, if no less loveable than its original take.
Similarly, with intensified intimacy come rather more insightful quips than those we've become accustomed to: frequently citing Rough Trade as their fave record store, it's one they vocally make a point of visiting each and every time they're in town. Nonetheless never previously have they actually played its hallowed semi-stage, and so they pleaded to be squeezed in this afternoon. (Hahn incidentally sports an All Saints tank top of course originating from the nearby Spitalfields, thus imbuing the anecdotes to ensue with a vivid kind of credence.) What they later divulge, though, is that their native Silver Lake boasts a store of the same name which, situated opposite some cherished coffee house or other, specialises in bondage garb. Which, quite coincidentally, makes the impactive reality that today should be such a comprehensively all-embracing affair (both shirking workers and so too those unemployed taking a breather from "Game of Thrones marathons" are shown candid gratitude) all the more delightful.
And regardless of employment prospects, all are rewarded with Ayer's crowning moment: as always should be, they've knowingly kept the best back for last as Colombia unfurls like the flag of some fallen kingdom (one of Westeros' seven, even) sodden with salty tears and set to gruesomely unravel in slow motion. Though whatever Patricia may have done to dear Kelcey, she can rest safe in the knowledge that she's brought about their most heartening composition to date and moreover that in his band of bros, he's exactly the right six shoulders to cry on. Thus in spite of an almost funereal extended coda, the hour has brimmed with celebratory sensation well worth relinquishing lunch for…

Florida Marlins: Fanhouse reports Marlins to consider Ted Simmons for manager job
According to a report on Fanhouse, the Marlins will consider Padres bench coach Ted Simmons for the manager's job.
While the Marlins were in San Juan last month, owner Jeffrey Loria announced Edwin Rodr4iguez would remain in the position through season's end. After the season, the Marlins will conduct a thorough search. In addition to Rodriguez, the Marlins also are expected to consider Arizona Diamondbacks bench coach Bo Porter.
Another name the Marlins may choose to revist is Bryan Price, the Reds' pitching coach. Price, who has a relationship with Larry Beinfest that dates back to their Seattle Mariner days, spoke with the Marlins in 2005 before they hired Joe Girardi.

Penny, Sheldon's new barber, gives him a moussed up hair style instead of his usual Alfalfa clip. Amy disapproves of the new look. She doesn't want other women seeing him looking all tasty like sex on a stick. One look in the mirror and Sheldon agrees. The style does make him look too hot.
Howard and Bernadette go out on a double date with Raj and Emily, but there is one slight embarrassing moment that causes Howard to be uncomfortable. Emily finally remembers where she had seen him before. Howard once went on a blind date with her. Well, he almost went on a blind date with Emily. When he arrived at her home, he also arrived with an upset stomach and had to use the bathroom and ended up clogging her toilet, earning him the nickname "Clogzilla."
Following the snickers, cracks and jokes, Howard excuses himself to get some air to which Emily responds, "Been there!"
To relax and overcome his anxiety over finding a physics book referencing anything other than string theory, Sheldon guzzles down a few glasses of wine with Amy, Leonard and Penny. Intoxicated, Amy later helps him to his bedroom. The next day, a bare-chested Sheldon wakes up, looks over and whispers in shame, "oh no."
Oh no? Oh no, what? Could it be? Is that Amy on the other side of his bed?
Oh no! It's worse than we thought. Sheldon is a big cheat. Lying next to him is another book. Has he even told string theory it was over?
Later that day, Sheldon gives a solemn rundown of his night to Howard including the part about leaving a drunken yet hilarious message on Stephen Hawking's phone. Howard in turn shares the details of his evening including recalling the time he did a number on Emily's bathroom with the number being two.
Tune in to 'The Big Bang Theory' on Thursdays at 8:00 PM on CBS.

T-REX project descriptionTerrain-induced Rotor Experiment
SummaryThe Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) is the second phase of a coordinated effort to explore the structure and evolution of atmospheric rotors (intense low-level horizontal vorticies that form along an axis parallel to, and downstream of, a mountain ridge crest) as well as associated phenomena in complex terrain. The initial, exploratory, phase of this effort, the Sierra Rotors Project, completed its Special Observation Period (SOP) in early spring 2004 in Owens Valley, California. Experience gained and data collected in the Phase I SOP have been instrumental in formulating both the sceintific objectives and experimental design of T-REX.
Scientific Objectives
The main scientific objective of T-REX is a comprehensive study of the coupled mountain-wave, rotor, and boundary-layer system. Some complimentary scientific issues include stratospheric-tropospheric exchange and structure and evolution of the complex terrain boundary layer in the absence of rotors. The comprehensive T-REX data sets will also represent a unique test bed for the validation of numerical models, and are expected to be instrumental in achieving further significant improvements in mesoscale and microscale modeling and in the prediction of aviation hazards, downslope windstorms, and aerosol transport and dispersion.
Observational Thrusts
The observational thrusts are two-fold: 1) comprehensive ground-based and airborne, in situ and remote sensing measurements during strongly perturbed conditions favoring rotor formation, and 2) comprehensive observations of complex terrain broundary layer structure and evolution from undisturbed to strongly perturbed conditions.

Corporate Green Acres is the place to be. It seems the free shit army isn't just occupying West Philly. They are crawling all over the Midwest farmbelt. It's not your small family farm. It's the giant corporate farms that have big time lobbyists and congressmen in their pockets. These bloated bills are nothing but handouts to corporations. Why should corporate farms be guaranteed a profit even if they don't produce a crop? Why should I pay so that corporate fat cat farmers have no risk if their crops fail? Why should milk prices be controlled? Why should government be spending almost $100 billion per year of our tax dollars to promote and subsidize farmers in any way? Since the SNAP food stamp program falls under this bloated bill, maybe the West Philly FSA can join forces with the Iowa FSA to lobby for this bill.
Farm Bill Redux
Tuesday, June 12,2012
THE U.S. SENATE is poised this week to take up the crucial 2012 Farm Bill. This inordinately complex legislation is projected to cost $969 billion over the next 10 years, about $24 billion less than the cost of extending the soon-to-expire existing farm bill.
Big agriculture and its deep-pocketed lobbyists support the new bill, having accepted deep cuts in direct crop subsidies in exchange for legislators "protecting and strengthening" crop insurance programs. Industry considers the latter its safety net against adverse weather and unpredictable fluctuations of global commodities prices.
It's less of a safety net than a security blanket that shifts risks to taxpayers and guarantees farmers substantial profits. That must change; otherwise, the cost of the new insurance programs could greatly exceed Congressional Budget Office estimates, leaving the federal government on the hook for billions of added dollars each year.
In a particularly cruel twist, the bill pays for these new programs in part by taking food out of the mouths of poor children.
Farm bills are the long-time home of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — food stamps. The proposal strips $4.5 billion from the SNAP program over 10 years, even as the struggling economy has record numbers of Americans seeking food stamps to help feed their families. The reductions would eliminate about $90 worth of groceries a month from the kitchens of low-income families. According to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who is introducing an amendment to restore the SNAP funds, half of those who benefit from the program are children.
The Obama White House is supporting the bill, S. 3240, sponsored by Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee. The administration opposes the SNAP reductions, however, and wants the cost of crop insurance reduced.
MEANWHILE, AN odd amalgamation has emerged to oppose the bill. The liberal Environmental Working Group used U.S. Department of Agriculture data to reaffirm that corporate and very large individual agriculture operations — not small and mid-sized family farms — enjoy the vast majority of the insurance benefits. Last year in Missouri, for example, 74 percent of the $267 million in benefits went to 20 percent of recipients. In Illinois, the top 20 percent received 72 percent of $518.5 million.
From the right comes the American Enterprise Institute with its "Field of Schemes" report. It's part of a broader AEI project called "American Boondoggle: Fixing the 2012 Farm Bill." In "Schemes," AEI experts focused on the bill's proposed 'shallow losses" insurance. Such insurance would cost far more than the direct crop subsidy programs being dropped and "create incentives for the wasteful use of economic resources," the report says.
EXISTING CROP insurance programs already are out of whack. If crop yields fall short of projections, farmers collect from the government. If harvest prices fall short of projections, farmers collect. To make sure that farmers can afford the insurance premiums, the government pays an average of 60 percent of the cost. To make sure private companies offer the insurance, the government pays their commissions and administrative costs.
Expanded shallow-loss coverage would distort the system even further. As one Minnesota farmer told "The New York Times" last week, "I can farm on low-quality land that I know is not going to produce and still turn a profit."
The farm bill needs a lot of work before it merits the support of the American people.

PNC Bank today said profits soared by 46 percent last quarter thanks to revenues from fees.Profits totaled $719 million, or $1.24 a share, in the fourth quarter, up from $493 million, or 85 cents, in 2011.
However, profits for the full year dropped by 2 percent to $3 billion, or $5.30 a share.
"While we are pleased with the progress we have made, our financial results do not yet reflect the full potential from our investments. Our commitment to revenue growth, expense reduction and efficient capital management in 2013 should position PNC to deliver even greater shareholder value."
Checking accounts grew by 714,000 during 2012, including 460,000 from PNC's purchase of RBC Bank (USA). PNC also added 1,061 new corporate banking primary clients and mortgage originations jumped by 33 percent in 2012, to $15.2 billion.

Pictures to accompany vocab
Hi all,
I'm an English teacher from the Netherlands and I just love this site. Definitely a fun way to learn new vocabulary.
Anyway, about my question. I noticed that in some courses pictures that accompany the vocab are availabe. However, unlike with the verbal mnemonic, you have to click a tab first to view it.
I was wondering if it weren't better if pictures would always be visible. I've done some research on the use of pictures and remembering and the picture-superiority effect. I'm convinced that accompanying words with pictures will dramatically increase retention of words.
By the way, I apologize if this thread already exists somewhere on these forums. I'm new here and haven't had time yet to browse the entire site.
Thank you for your input, and also thank you to the creators of this website.
I agree 100%
I like. Ben, what say you?!
That would be nice. Lots of words have an image or video in the example, but you only see that when you first learn it, or if you get it wrong.
Great idea.

College Hockey:Mercyhurst Finishes Second In AHA With 4-2 Win Over Canisius
ERIE, Pa. — Two third-period goals led Mercyhurst to a 4-2 victory over Canisius Saturday night at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. The loss, combined Connecticut and Holy Cross wins, drops the Griffs to seventh place in the league and sets up a return matchup between the Griffs and Lakers next Saturday in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Hockey playoffs.
Senior captain Fred Coccimiglio set the school record for most games played by appearing in his 135th contest in a Canisius uniform. Senior defenseman Tim Songin tied the school record for most games by a defenseman with his 134th appearance, which is also held by Tom Wnuk.
Mercyhurst took the lead with 9:01 left in the first period when Ryan Toomey hit forward Scott Champagne who was cutting down the slot. Champagne slid the puck into the lower left corner of the net for his 15th goal of the season.
Lakers forward Kirk Medernach picked up a five-minute major and game misconduct for his check from behind on forward Billy Irish-Baker at 13:54 of the first period, giving the Griffs a five-on-three for 1:18, but the Blue and Gold couldn't convert on the two-man advantage, leaving the score 1-0 after the first period.
Canisius tied the game at 1-1 with 2:36 remaining in the second period when Songin kept an attempted Mercyhurst clear in the Griffs' offensive zone. Fred Coccimiglio took the puck off the right boards and found a wide open Jaymie Harrington on the left side of the net. Harrington shot it into the upper left corner of the net for his fourth goal of the season and second in two nights.
Mercyhurst took a 2-1 lead early in the third period when Ben Cottreau shot the puck from the left circle and got it past a screened Dan Giffin. The Lakers extended their lead to 3-1 when Matt Pierce skated up the left side, had his first shot blocked by a Giffin, and knocked in his own rebound for his fourth goal of the season.
The Griffs cut the lead in half when Billy Irish-Baker scored a shorthanded goal the second of his career with 10:55 left in the contest to make the score 3-2. Following Irish-Baker's goal, Songin went to the penalty box for hooking, giving the Lakers 47 seconds of a two-man advantage, which the Griffs killed, as well as the remaining 1:13 of Songin's penalty.
Matt Warren added an empty netter to provide the final difference.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, anything you'd like your readers to know:
"If I were to describe myself, it would be Life Writer. Although I mainly write poetry and prose, I don't limit myself to a certain style nor a certain subject. I write about what I can relate to or if I can mirror someone else's experiences."
I've been writing since the age of eleven. I'm the author of Reflections of Soul, the Eclectic collection (Skin Edition and Beyond the Skin) and Spaded Truths: Themes and Proclamations.
As a reviewer, under the name, No Labels Unleashed, I serve on The Review Board, which provides in-depth, honest reviews on books (primary focus), movies, webisodes/TV shows, and music.
In addition, I have a column entitled "A Queen's Ramblings" on the emerging All Authors Magazine.
Author, Reviewer, Supporter, and Southern lady to my roots: All roles I serve proudly.
What made you do decide to become an author?
Writing has always felt natural to me and has served as my catharsis. Certain topics I write about are things other people can relate to, so it only made sense for me to share. I also have a lot of stories that are beginning to be free of their mental restraints, so I am granting their wishes.
Who are your favorite authors, and how have they influenced your writing?
Stephen King is at the top. His mind fascinates me, and some of my darker, edgier writes are inspired by him. Nikki Giovanni has a revolutionary feel, so a few of my controversial pieces have a tinge of her spirit. I also love Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Tell us about your book:
Current or upcoming? Well, my latest book is entitled Spaded Truths: Themes and Proclamations. The best way to describe it is alphabet soup simmering in the broth of controversy. There are twenty six themes (from A-Z) that represent my truths, and based on those themes, I write a piece inspired by the particular theme stated. Many hot buttons topics are addressed, such as politics, same-sex unions, sexual expression and much more.
My upcoming book, Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes, is a more difficult to classify. It blurs the line between reality and embellishment of reality. Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes is graphic therapy sessions for public view. It's a coming-of-age work: a testament of one's journey through pain to become the person she is now. It is set to come out next month. Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes isn't pretty work but I feel it is a necessary work.
Everyone has their idiosyncrasies, what's yours?
Do you have time to do a separate interview on just that question? (chuckling to self) I'll give you six and we can set up an appointment to cover the rest.
1. When signing something, I always use my middle initial, but I'm not a fan of my middle name. Yet, I feel like my name is naked without it.
2. In a room, I opt to sit in the front or back, never in the middle.
3. I set the clocks in my apartment and in my car about ten minutes fast.
4. There are certain fruits I like but dislike as a fruit flavor (and vice versa). For example, I like kiwis and strawberries, but don't like things that are kiwi strawberry flavored. On the flip side, I love cherry flavored products, but I won't eat a cherry in its original form.
5. I'm particular about the type of journals I use. I prefer lightly lined (college ruled) or unlined. White is nice but I have a special appreciation for different colors, especially crèam, light brown, or lavender. The outside of it has to speak to me as well. If the journal isn't fancy or the inside, it has to win me over with an outside design; otherwise, I won't purchase it, even if it's 75% off and the store is going out of business.
6. If I am preparing my own coffee, I put in the coffee creamer and the anticipated amount of sugar prior to pouring the coffee in the cup. If it is instant coffee, I mix the coffee creamer, sugar, and instant coffee together before pouring the boiling water on it. For me, it blends better than doing it the other way around. I get weird looks but it works for me.
What's your favorite book turned movie and why?
I was very pleased with Interview with the Vampire. It stayed very close to Anne Rice's book. Brad Pitt made a very believable Louis, and Tom Cruise was phenomenal as Lestat. If only Queen of the Damned was done so expertly. I really feel like the ball was dropped on that.
What's your favorite genre to read?
I love reading horror, with erotica and romance tied for second. I am open to reading different genres. I believe if a story is told and executed well enough, then it transcends genre preference.
Which do you do more, read or write, and why?
That is a very good question. The reading and writing ebbs and flows. When I was younger, I was a very avid reader. I have won awards in my younger years for reading the most books in a school year. Around the time I started writing, there was a decline in how much I was reading. It was almost as if both energies couldn't reside in the same house. These days, being organized and disciplined has helped, since I do reviews as well as write. Now, one doesn't outpace the other.
What is your writing process like, and what's your favorite part of it?
My writing process for poetry is slightly different than my writing process for other things. My inspiration to write a poem can strike at anytime, so I always have to be prepared in some way. That's why I try and make it a habit of having pen and paper on me. Otherwise, I have to make due with alternate writing utensils (pencil, marker, crayon) and/or writing surfaces (receipt paper, tissue, cardboard, etc.). I free write; I don't stop to observe or edit on the first go round. Then, the second time around, I check for spelling, grammar, punctuation. The third time, I check for style, conveyance, presentation (balance between writing and white space) and rhythm (if applicable). If I didn't come up with a title from the beginning, this is the time I come up with the title of my poem. My favorite part of writing poetry is the initial thrill of the inspiration (the free write).
With short stories (and writes that blossom into other things), it starts as a thought. I write down an outline-from characters to certain events I see happening. Then, I set aside a time to work on the piece: either by hand or in front of the computer. It is really nice, seeing the characters come to life. The first write, prior to any modification, is beautifully pure. I resist the urge to modify during the write. In my past experiences, when I've done that, I sometimes lose the initial wave the story is on.
I'm not the type who is maniacal with word count. Some of my outlines that I envisioned as short stories have blossomed beyond short story word count. Do I get tempted at times to make it fit? Yes, but I have recognized that it doesn't always work that way. Some characters and story lines would not be given proper justice unless they are allowed to evolve beyond the restraints of word count. There are times when the characters go outside the initial outline. I've found that is all right as well.

Team Artisan/BV Sport
Let's get this straight. We do not have a team bus. What we do have is a great group of people who promote cycling and ride their bikes a lot. It's addictive and no doubt if you are reading this you'll understand. We all have different motivations but a similar goal.
There are a lot of amateur "teams" around but we prefer coffee-shop-team. We train hard and race hard (and coffee hard if there is such a thing) and like most we don't deserve free products. We provide rolling billboards and feedback for our sponsors and support them with our own money as they support us. That's the point. Some "teams" think they deserve a free bike. They don't. If you have a product or service that you would like promoted, we'll try and help. If we don't believe in it, we won't do it. Mining companies need not apply (touche they say…) although Saus is looking for a hairdresser sponsor and Lach likes boat shoes and pastel short shorts.

Team Artisan/BV Sport would not be possible without the support of our sponsors:
BV Sport products are used at the highest level by athletes whom do not need the money nor free product. These athletes want the benefits and advantages that their competition does not have. The French Cycling Federation, Lampre-ISD Cycling team, Chelsea Footbal Club, Aresnal Football Club and the Saur-Sojasun Cycling team all use the BOOSTER Compression sock and the PRORECUP ELITE recovery socks. In fact our own Matt Lloyd probably has some on right now. The medical grade, clinically backed products are 100% designed and made in France. BV Sport are proud of their products and stand behind the science. You get what you paid for.
Team Artisan/BV Sport use and recommend:
Technical socks – Cycling specific
These socks are designed for cycling simple as that. They have a small amount of padding under the ball of your feet to help cushion against the force you apply to the pedals. The arches are given a simlar treatment to help support and make these the most comforatble socks you can buy. Think about how many times you've worn and washed your cycling socks. Cost per wear = $very little.
All expensive cycling socks use Coolmax© and X-Static© but how many have been anatomically designed and feature the simple basics a cycling sock requires?
– Padding under the ball of your feet
– Arch support
– Durable
RRP $39.95 – can be purchased from Artisan Cycles here
– PRORECUP Elite recovery socks
Recovery and compression are 'buzz' words. If you are a sporting brand and haven't got a compression garmet, are you actually just a clothing brand? BV Sport are different. Why you ask? Because they have been developing their products in FRANCE since 1998, long before it becamse essential for every amateur athlete.
The jewel in the BV Sport range since 1998, and undoubtedly the company's most technologically advanced product, this recovery sock has been created using a special type of knitting, based on a four year study of the pressure recorded by elite level athletes. The socks are used and acclaimed by more than 6000 elite level and professional athletes.
Prorecup Elite medical grade recovery socks should be used immediately after physical exertion. The compression of the calf allows for the rapid elimination of poorly oxygenated and intoxicated (with lactic acid, free radicals, CO2…) venous blood.
– Special construction for the calf
– Strong protection and support of the achilles tendon
– Support of the fascia plantar (connective tissue in the arch of the foot), as well as anti-bacterial, anti-static and anti-odour properties (via the use of silver thread
– Stabilising band at the front of the foot
For more information on Progressive Compression click HERE
RRP $109.95 – can be purchased from Artisan Cycles here
Fetha Custom Components
Fetha is a name to remember. Manufacturing of cycling parts has been reduced to mass-production and standardisation. It's a breath of fresh air when you can go to someone with an idea and have it made to perfection (to the micron). This is what Fetha does. Need a prototype made or simply a custom top cap? Done. Want your favourite alloy crank stripped and powercoated? Done. Want some custom elliptical rings to go with them? Done.
Team members use Fetha ISP's, pulleys, top caps and soon a few top secret components that can't be detailed just yet.
Bike Beyond
Justin will build or rebuild your wheels then strip and rebuild your bike back to original condition. It'll be like wheeling it out the shop for the first time. You might even be able to advertise your second hand bike as brand new. He's that good.
Give him a call or drop in to say hi.

Metropolitan Stadium (MN)
Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota, served the American League's Minnesota Twins for 21 seasons. However, it was originally the home of a minor-league team, the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association.
The drive for a new ballpark for the Millers began in the 1940s. In June of 1948, the Millers, affiliated with the parent New York Giants, and Minneapolis Board of Park Commissioners agreed on a 17-acre tract near Theodore Wirth Park, slightly less than three miles west of downtown Minneapolis, for a new ball park. The site was bounded on the north by Olson Memorial Highway, on the south by Glenwood Avenue, on the west by Xerxes Avenue North, and on the east by the Great Northern railroad tracks. It was the intention of the Millers/Giants to purchase the property, re-divert a stream to its natural channel, and construct a stadium with a seating capacity between 20,000 and 30,000. Home plate would be in the southwest corner, near the corner of Glenwood and Xerxes.
According to Halsey Hall in the Minneapolis Tribune of Thursday, June 10, 1948, Minneapolis mayor Hubert Humphrey "said flatly that the stadium would be a good thing for clean professional sport, for recreation and for a 'growing place' for young America in Minneapolis. He stressed the need for action and quickly."
However, the first action came from residents in the Glenwood-Wirth area who objected to the site and quickly formed a committee to circulate a petition that read, "This group goes on record unanimously in requesting the park commissioners not to take the contemplated action in establishing a ball park in the Wirth park area, nor to sell, transfer, or lease the property to a commercial enterprise."
As is still the case, one of the strategies for promoting a new stadium was to denigrate the existing one. Dick Cullum, who had written for newspapers in Minneapolis and St. Paul, had his first "Cullum's Column" in the Minneapolis Tribune on Monday, June 14, 1948, as the new ballpark site was being debated. Cullum wrote that fans "can look forward to better things in a better park" while attacking the Millers' existing park: "That's pretty poor baseball we have to look at in Nicollet Park. We have to go to that old crate a great many times to see one well played ball game. . . . In Nicollet Park, where every pitcher has to work hard on every batter and where the poorest ball player in the league may upset all percentages and make a burlesque of the game of baseball, a fan does not see any fraction of the number of genuine baseball plays he would see in a standard ball park. It just isn't baseball."
A ballpark never was built on Glenwood site. Alternate sites were studied, and, in late 1949, the Minneapolis Baseball and Athletic Association went further west, beyond the Minneapolis city limits into St. Louis Park, and purchased 33 acres of land with approximately 1,400 feet of frontage on the south side of Wayzata Boulevard (now Interstate 394), about a quarter-mile west of what is now Minnesota Highway 100. Preliminary architectural work began for a stadium for the site, but the land remained dormant. The reason given through the years is that the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 brought about a moratorium on the construction of sports facilities. However, details of such a moratorium are not clear; it did not keep Milwaukee County in Wisconsin from moving forward with a new stadium that opened in 1953. (Later in the 1950s, the New York Giants considered moving the team to Minnesota before instead moving to San Francisco. The organization continued to own the property, which was developed with such structures as the Cooper Theater, and for many years the lot was known as "Candlestick Park," the same name as the stadium the Giants opened in San Francisco in 1960. Even had the Giants moved to Minnesota, it is doubtful that they would have built a stadium on the St. Louis Park site at this time since both the Minneapolis Millers and St. Paul Saints had new stadiums, both of which were designed with the intention of someday serving a major-league team.)
As all this was happening, an itch for major-league baseball in the area was developing as the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce asked its president, Gerald Moore, to explore the possibility of major-league baseball for the area. Moore appointed a committee for this purpose, and the group began meeting in March of 1953, at about the same time that the Boston Braves of the National League moved to Milwaukee, the first geographic shift in major-league baseball since 1903. Up to this point, all 16 major-league teams occupied just 10 cities.
A half-century of inertia had been broken, and seeing another Midwestern city, approximately the same size as the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, get a team made believers not just out of the burgeoning major-league committee but of Minnesota fans in general. Milwaukee found itself in a fortunate position when a major-league team was ready to move, having just built a new stadium for the minor-league Brewers, which instead was used by the big-league Braves. No thought of major-league baseball was behind the building of this new stadium, according to Milwaukee baseball historian Bob Buege. "When ground was broken for County Stadium on October 19, 1950, the clear understanding was that the park would be used by the Brewers," Buege said. "The hope of getting major-league baseball was never even used by proponents in helping to get public funding for the ballpark."
It soon became apparent to the Minneapolis committee that a new stadium would be needed to lure a team to Minnesota. The Twin Cities joined other cities in trying to land the St. Louis Browns. The committee offered the use of an extremely spartan stadium on the park board's Parade Grounds, on the western edge of downtown Minneapolis, until a new stadium could be built. The Browns instead went to Baltimore in 1954 and became the Orioles, and the Minneapolis baseball committee set its sights on a new stadium before focusing on luring another team.
An impasse had already developed between Minneapolis and St. Paul interests over the site of a new stadium. In the fall of 1953, St. Paul voters approved a bond issue for a new ball park in the midway area of that city. The Minneapolis baseball committee went its own direction, picking a site outside the city limits on a 160-tract of land in suburban Bloomington, and an organization called the Minneapolis Minute Men was formed to raise money for the stadium. In the midst of the bond drive by the Minute Men, the Minnesota legislature created the Metropolitan Sports Area Commission to operate the new stadium.
The Minneapolis Minute Men set a goal of $800,000 in bond sales through public subscription while another $3 million would be sold on the market to investors. The Minute Men organized into 16 teams, named after major-league teams, and each had a quota of $50,000 to reach the overall goal. The drive, when completed on March 31, 1955, had exceeded its goal by more than 50 percent, with $1,212,000 in bonds being sold. The Indians team, managed by Gunnar Rovick, had the top team sales, of $152,000 while Joe Duffy of the Indians was the individual champion, selling 100 bonds for a total of $50,000.
Sixty years before, Nicollet Park had been constructed in three weeks. Although the new Bloomington stadium didn't rise as quickly, the transformation from cornfield to baseball stadium was remarkable in its rapidity.
However, the beginning of construction--scheduled for Monday, June 20, 1955--was almost delayed because of a protest by the owners of the property on which the stadium would be built. Claiming they hadn't yet been paid, one of the owners, Paul Gerhardt, created a barricade of farm equipment along his property line, which ran directly through where the infield of the stadium would be. However, the dispute was settled in time for the groundbreaking to go forward as planned.
A large crowd of spectators joined a number of dignitaries (which included Minneapolis mayor Eric Hoyer but not St. Paul mayor Joseph Dillon, who had already said his city would not support this stadium site) to see the first shovelfuls of dirt being tossed. Several members of the Minneapolis Millers came out and posed for photos as pitcher Joe Margoneri tossed balls to catcher Carl Sawatski. Player-manager Bill Rigney stood in the batter's box while general manager Rosy Ryan assumed the duties of the umpire.
Kimmes Construction Company started the first work on the 160-acre site, performing grading, drainage, surfacing, sodding, sanitary sewer installation and miscellaneous construction. The grading work involved the excavation of over 400,000 cubic yards of material. On September 15, as the earthwork continued, Johnson, Drake & Piper, Inc. of Minneapolis was awarded the general contract for the stadium on a bid of $2,949,200.
In late September, Matty Schwab was brought in to oversee the laying of sod and work on the infield. Schwab was the groundskeeper of the Polo Grounds, the stadium of the Giants in New York, and was one of the most renowned in his field. (Schwab even lived in the Polo Grounds during the season, in a small apartment beneath the left-field stands.)
The first load of structural steel, supplied by American Bridge Division of the U. S. Steel Corporation, didn't arrive until mid-January in 1956. At the same time, Axel Ohman Company began the brick work. The structure rose quickly over the next month. Steel erection for the second and third decks began on February 10 with the placement of the first seats in the lower deck commencing a week later.
Then, on Sunday, February 26, an explosion rocked the stadium, setting off a fire on the third-base side of the grandstand that made it necessary to rebuild one section of it. The placement of the concrete had just been completed, and butane heaters were being used to warm the concrete as it cured. "Exploding tanks ripped through the concrete floor and one bomb-like tank landed a few feet from the left-field fence, almost the first home run in the new stadium," said narrator Dick Enroth in a film made by WCCO Radio and Television soon after the stadium opened. Another fire struck a set of storage shacks barely three weeks later although this did not affect the stadium itself.
Despite the setbacks, construction remained on track and on Tuesday, April 24, 1956-- barely ten months after groundbreaking ceremonies--the Minneapolis Millers opened Met Stadium with a game against the Wichita Braves. The stadium was still without an official name, which did not come until that July when it was announced that it would be called Metropolitan Stadium. The distances down the line to right and left were 316 feet, 3 inches, and the distance to center field was 405 feet, and the outfield was surrounded by an eight-foot-high fence. A triple-decked permanent grandstand extended only to the end of each of the dugouts, although portable seating expanded the capacity and a crowd of 18,366 attended the first game.
One of the most significant components of Met Stadium was not what it had, but what it didn't have: posts to support decks or roofs above. By going to cantilever construction for the overhanging decks, architect Foster Dunwiddie of Thorshov and Cerny, Inc. had found a way to eliminate the posts, which often block the few of fans in other stadiums. The expansion of Husky Stadium, used by the University of Washington football team, in Seattle a few years earlier had been recognized as the first use of cantilever construction in a sports arena. Met Stadium became the first baseball stadium in the country to take advantage of this principle, however.
The reason for the new stadium was not to provide better facilities for the minor-league Millers but to have a first-class stadium available for a major-league team to eventually occupy. The lure of the Met eventually achieved its objective. In October of 1960 Calvin Griffith announced he was moving his Washington Senators franchise in the American League to Minnesota, and, in 1961, the Minnesota Twins took the field for the first time.
According to James Quirk in Stadiums and Major League Sports: The Twin Cities, a 1997 Brookings Institute publication, "For the individuals holding the revenue bonds issued to finance the Met, it [the arrival of the Twins and the football Minnesota Vikings, who also used the stadium] could not have come at a better time. Between 1956 and 1961, the Met did not earn enough to cover required interest payments on the bond, and the facility would have been in default except that certain large bondholders, civic-minded firms, and individuals agreed to wait for their money until major league sports made it to the stadium."
Met Stadium was expanded with the coming of the major-league baseball. Originally, the triple-decked grandstand extended only around the infield. With the arrival of the Twins, the first two decks were extended beyond the foul pole in right field, although a similar extension was not done to left field. Bleachers filled the gap down the left-field line beyond the permanent grandstand.
The outfield consisted of a series of bleachers, interrupted by a batter's eye in center field and in right-center field by the scoreboard, with the bullpens in front of the scoreboard. In 1965, the bleachers in left field were replaced by a double-decked grandstand. (Work on the grandstand was continuing as the 1965 baseball season began, and one of the construction workers was able to corral a home-run ball hit into the stands by Elston Howard of the New York Yankees in the season opener.)
The new grandstand in left field was for the benefit of the National Football League Minnesota Vikings to allow more fans to sit along the sidelines for football games. The Twins also benefited from the extra capacity provided by the new grandstand as they hosted two major events in 1965. The first was the All-Star Game in July. An added bonus was the World Series as Minnesota won the American League pennant. The Twins lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games with the final game drawing 50,596, the only time a baseball crowd exceeded 50,000 at Met Stadium.
In addition to the Twins and Vikings and later the Minnesota Kicks soccer team, Met Stadium hosted events ranging from wrestling matches to a concert by the Beatles, who came to Minnesota on its second tour of the United States, on August 21, 1965.
Metropolitan Stadium was considered a good venue for baseball but not for football, even after the new grandstand was built in 1965. The gridiron ran from right field toward third base, with barely enough room to squeeze in the playing field and end zones. Wooden bleachers in left field had moved onto the field during football season prior to the construction of the new grandstand. The space between the sidelines and the stands was vast.
From 1961 to 1970, the Twins generally had competitive teams and drew at least 1,000,000 fans, then considered a benchmark for a successful season. The team dropped in the standings and in terms of attendance in 1971 and stayed down for many years.
This transition was coinciding with the rise of the Minnesota Vikings. An expansion team in 1961, the Vikings won their first division title in 1968. The following year, they made it to the Super Bowl, their first of four appearances in the Super Bowl in an eight-year span. The Vikings, not the Twins, were the hot item at Met Stadium.
Talks began regarding the remodeling of the Met to improve the sight lines for football or even building a brand-new stadium for just the Vikings. It was expected that, since Minneapolis interests had sold the bonds for the original stadium construction, funding for an upgrade for the Met would come, once again, from Minneapolis.
But this time the Minneapolis business community decided that, if it was going to foot the bill, it might as well have the stadium within its own city limits. One of the first proposals for a new stadium was a doozy: an 80,000 seat, domed stadium exclusively for football on the northwest edge of downtown Minneapolis. The stadium would be surrounded by a 5,100-space parking ramp that would be uncovered on the top level to allow the tradition of pre-game tailgating to continue. This stadium proposal was eventually derailed by the city's Board of Estimates and Taxation.
In 1977, the Minnesota Legislature passed a no-site stadium bill. This action by itself did not mean the end of Metropolitan Stadium, because the options included a remodeling of the Met for baseball with a new football stadium built adjacent to it. However, the new stadium commission formed with the legislation opted for a multi-purpose covered facility on the eastern edge of downtown Minneapolis.
The Twins, in their final years at Met Stadium, twice more topped one million in attendance, in 1977 and 1979. The 1977 season was exciting for fans because of the play of the Twins, who were in the title race for much of the season, as well as Rod Carew, who finished the season with a .388 batting average and was named the American League Most Valuable Player.
The biggest day of the season came on Sunday, June 26 as the Twins played the Chicago White Sox. With first place in the West Division at stake and the fans receiving a replica Carew jersey as a giveaway, a crowd of nearly 47,000 turned out for a wild game. Glenn Adams provided the early fireworks with a grand slam en route to a team-record eight RBIs in the game. The Twins took an 8-1 lead, only to have the White Sox cut the gap with six runs in the third inning. The parade across the plate continued for both teams, unimpeded by even an alcohol-laced fan who interrupted the game in the bottom of the fourth by climbing to the top of the foul pole in left field. The Twins won the game, 19-12. Carew had four hits, scored five runs, and drove in six, capping his performance in the last of the eighth inning with a home run that raised his batting average to .403 and drew another long ovation from the fans.
In 1979, the Twins stayed in the race until the final week of the season and drew one million fans for the second time since 1970 and for the last time at Met Stadium.
The final baseball game at the Met was played September 30, 1981 with the Kansas City Royals beating the Twins 5-2. Roy Smalley popped out to end the game and an era of baseball on the former cornfield. The final event at the Met was a Vikings football game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, December 20, 1981. Following the game, fans in search of souvenirs ravaged the stadium, taking what wasn't bolted down and many things that were.
Met Stadium remained partially dismantled for several years before being totally demolished and remained a vacant site for several more years before a large shopping center was erected on the site. A plaque marking the spot of home plate was installed in an amusement-park area in the middle of the shopping center.
Metropolitan Stadium Lore
The Twins had a sunny but cold day for their season opener in 1965, the start of their run to the American League pennant. The somewhat nice weather was unusual that spring, as the climate had been challenging, particularly with flooding. Four members of the Twins--Rich Rollins, Jim Kaat, Dick Stigman, and Bill Bethea (who was staying with Kaat before reporting to the Twins' farm club in Charlotte)--lived in Burnsville and were marooned on the other side of the swollen Minnesota River. The four were taken by helicopter to and from the Met for the opener against the Yankees. Kaat started for the Twins and would have been the winning pitcher if not for a dropped pop up with two out in the ninth by Cesar Tovar, a replacement for Rollins, who left the game in the fourth inning after twisting his knee. However, the Twins still won the game, with Tovar singling home the winning run with two out in the last of the 11th.
Weather often delayed or postponed Twins games, but a game between the Twins and Boston Red Sox at Met Stadium on Tuesday night, August 25, 1970 was interrupted for a different reason. With Tony Oliva was on first base with one out in the last of the fourth and Rich Reese at bat, first-base umpire Nestor Chylak ran in toward the infield, waving his arms to call time. The interruption was explained with an announcement that the Bloomington police had been told an explosion would take place at Met Stadium at 9:30. The week before, the Old Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis had been bombed, and officials were taking no chances, although they allowed the game to start and be played until 9:15, approximately 45 minutes after the threat had been called in. The players congregated on the field, away from the stadium structure itself. Fans were directed to go to the parking lots. However, many of the fans, and others, found their way onto the field. The fans mingled with the players and got autographs while vendors walked through the crowd, hawking concessions. A beer vendor set his cases on second base and continued his business, quickly selling out. Few people even noticed the time when the scoreboard clock showed 9:30, the time set for the explosion, which never occurred. Twenty minutes later, fans re-entered the stadium and cleared the field, and the game resumed shortly before 10:00. The only blast of the night was from Boston's Tony Conigliaro, who homered in the eighth inning to give the Red Sox a 1-0 victory.
Several publications provided general information on Metropolitan Stadium and the Metrodome: Metropolitan Sports Area Stadium: Stadium Souvenir, published by the Metropolitan Sports Area Commission in 1956; 10: A Decade at the Met, by the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce (1966); History of the Metropolitan Stadium and Sports Center, by Charles Johnson (Minneapolis: Midwest Federal, 1970); and Once There Was a Ballpark, by Joe Soucheray (Edina, Minn.: Dorn Books, 1981).
A film, Metropolitan Stadium, was produced by WCCO Radio and Television shortly after the opening of Met Stadium in 1956. Narrated by Dick Enroth, this is essentially a film promoting the new stadium as well as the Twin Cities metropolitan area for the purpose of luring major-league baseball to the area. However, it contains footage of the final game of Nicollet Park and its demolition, the groundbreaking of the Bloomington stadium, the fire during construction in February 1956, and the first game on April 24, 1956. The film is available at the Minnesota Historical Society.
General resources on the Metrodome include The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome Souvenir Book, compiled by Dave Mona (Minneapolis: MSP Publications, 1982) and Uncovering the Dome, by Amy Klobuchar (Minneapolis: Bolger Publications, 1982).
Additional sources of information on Metropolitan Stadium and the Metrodome include Stadiums and Major League Sports: The Twin Cities by James Quirk (a publication of the Brookings Institute, 1997) and Stadium Games by Jay Weiner (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2000).

Quo Vadis Memoriae Themed Journal - "My Joys" Version
The Quo Vadis Memoriae is a themed journal and in my opinion, it would make an excellent gift (think wedding, graduation, travelling, new baby) for someone new to journaling, or someone that needs a little help with organizing their thoughts.
Me personally? I prefer a blank journal that I can fill with reckless abandon. :o)
The most important feature for me with any journal is that it be fountain pen friendly, and I am happy to report that YAY! the Memoriae and it's smooth ivory 80g "prestige" paper did not feather or bleed with any number of fountain pen inks and nib widths that I tried in it.
My next most important feature is that the book lie flat for writing. The covers are imitation leather and have some flex to them - just a little, not a lot. This journal needs encouragement to lie flat. A combination of the stitched binding and thicker paper (which is a good thing) means that you have to push down on the pages if you have the book sitting on a flat surface.
Per Karen at Exaclair, "As of now, we do not import Memorarie in the US, although they can be found in some specialty stationery stores in Canada if anyone wants to order them."
View more versions of the Memoriae, and order Here from the UK.
- pocket size 10 x 15cm ( 4" x 6")
- hardbound imitation leather cover with round corners
- matching color elastic closure
Back of packaging
Without wrapper - it's a very nice, well made book.
Other available versions
Stickers that you can add to the tabbed index pages.
Inside the front cover
- 224 pages, "prestige" 80g ivory paper
I think the index is a great idea for people to organize their thoughts, but I'm not crazy about the tabbed pages. Pick up the book, flip it open, and it always wants to go to the first tab of the index. Like when you open a magazine with an advert card in it. It always flips to that page. Perhaps some people would like that, I'm not sure.
I'm not crazy about the index headers being listed in 3 languages. It seems to be a waste of space, and it's a little confusing for me to look at.
Various sections in the index of the "My Joys" version.
First Times
Childhood Memories
Most Memorable People
Blank section (Add Stickers)
Back pocket - extendable folder inside back cover for storage of items like photos, ticket stubs, etc.

It simply works! Connecting through a home based Linux box's ssh couldn't be much easier. The widget toggle wasn't happy with my phone, but running the app itself and using the checkmark to enable works flawlessly. A great way to secure your remote connection wherever you are, and to access LAN-only IP's at the same time!
Works perfectly I rooted my Nexus 7 (running KitKat) for this app. I am completely satisfied. Once I had all of my settings configured, it easily connected to my SSH server at home and the tunnel was established. The setup is easy and it works. I now have access to my own SSL tunnel wherever I may be. Thank you!
Bleah Pretty lame actually. Doesn't always work and screw your connections most of the time. I still prefer juicessh and the old school ssh in terminal over this anyday. While :; do ssh ; sleep 1; done . Doesnt even cut or screw your connection even if you go out of 3G range and it'll just re-tunnel you back into server

Rated 5 out of 5 by DCGOPGirl Showstopper Such a gorgeous shower curtain. While it's not your typical design, it definitely turns heads and gets attention. Wish World Market would put out a matching beryl green or pink bathmat and accessories to go with it. March 28, 2013
