Well, looks like Rihanna is a woman of her murder-ballad word. It would have been easy to resort to some metaphoric representation of her violent chorus to "Man Down" in her new music video, but indeed, Rihanna simply shoots a man down, in Central Station, in front of a big ol' crowd. Why does she do it? Well, anyone who's followed current events with Rihanna in the last three years can probably take an educated guess, but director Anthony Mandler tells the story in flashback anyway, as RiRi's day of Caribbean fun (playing in the ocean, drinking from coconuts) takes a dark turn when her boyfriend gets a little physical with her at a house party. She leaves, he follows, and things get ugly. But of course, Rihanna will play the victim no more, and goes searching for her firearm…
Is this video as "dramatic and shocking and intense and emotional and uplifting and enlightening" as Anthony Mandler previously promised? Well, probably three or four of 'em, and these days that's pretty good. Judge for yourself.

Solar After The StormWritten by Solar Industry Magazine
Created on 03 December 2012
While most solar arrays here on the East Coast (including the 24 kW ground-mounted system at the Solar Industry offices) proved to be physically resilient when Superstorm Sandy came barreling through in late October, these largely grid-tied systems were unable to come to the rescue when the power went out.

Pandora's Box
Julie Garwood
2002 reissue of 2001 release, Romantic Suspense
Pocket, $7.99, 496 pages, Amazon ASIN 0671034022Part of a series
There is a staff review of this book as well
Mercy introduces Theo Buchanan, brother of Heartbreaker Nick, and Dr. Michelle (Mike) Renard, who meet when Theo throws up all over Dr. Mike's shoes! Dr. Mike has become the target of a mysterious vandal and Theo uses his Justice Deptartment connections to try to unravel the mystery surrounding Michelle before they are both killed.
Linda: Julie Garwood has been my second favorite author (after Jayne Ann) for a long time and several of her older books are on my "comfort" reread shelf. I bought Heartbreaker the week it came out last year, but didn't read it till last week. Reason? I was afraid that it wouldn't live up to the historicals and I was afraid of being disappointed in another long time favorite's books. Well, I liked Heartbreaker a lot when I read it but I loved Mercy. Mercy has all of the hallmarks of Garwood's best books: great, smart, plucky heroine, wonderful alpha hero, humor and terrific secondary characters too. This one will go on the re-read shelf along with The Bride and The Prize, high praise indeed
Blythe: Well, I didn't hate Mercy, but I found it disappointingly average. I was interested enough to keep turning the pages, and it was a quick read, but I never got into the characters or thought they were really in love; their whole relationship seemed forced. All I could think was that Garwood should have stuck with historicals.
Linda: Oh goodness, it's hard to believe we read the same book because I loved it! I thought their love was real and not forced, and the author surprised me with one of the twists at the end of the book. I'm not easily fooled, but she got me on that one. Plus I loved the ending. I thought Michelle (Mike) was a terrific heroine and her long time fans will see the strengths of Jamie (The Bride), Johanna (Saving Grace) and Judith (The Secret) in her, but she is also a contemporary heroine and her heart and humanity were very real to me. It was very understandable to me that the burned-out hero, Theo, recognized the passion in her and was attracted to it. I loved the setting and the treatment of the community as well. I think Garwood's long-time fans are going to love this book and I think fans of romantic suspense will also enjoy it.
Blythe: To me it seemed like these two met, spent all of five minutes together, and just wanted to hop into bed. I never felt like they talked or shared with each other. The sexual tension felt really forced to me, like Garwood had to tell us every five seconds how hot they were for each other, but there never seemed to be a question of whether they would hop into bed. I couldn't get into their relationship at all. I didn't feel like I got to know Mike well enough to even tell if she was like Garwood's historical heroines, but the "aw shucks, queen of innocence" works better in an historical context for me anyway.
Where I do agree with you is about the twist at the end. That did take me totally by surprise; I hadn't even wondered about the turn Garwood took as a possible option. I like when a suspenseful book manages to pull one over one me.
Linda: I think the innocence was very believable coming from the background that Mike did and I thought she explained her lack of experience well. I felt the sexual attraction from page one and found it very believable. I loved the fact that Theo threw up all over her when they met - talk about meeting "cute." I found Mike much more believable then Laurant in Heartbreaker. Laurant was just tooooo perfect and selfless to me and although I liked the story it wouldn't be one that I would re-read. Mercy however, is one that I will re-read, I really liked Theo and Mike a lot. The witty, flirtatious dialogue had me LOL, as did the town's efforts to convince Theo that Mike was a good cook. For me this one is a Desert Isle Keeper.
Blythe: I thought they met cute too, and I also thought the book had some nice touches and little details, like Mike operating to the strains of Willie Nelson, and Theo always wanting to eat at McDonald's. This made them a little more human to me, even though I couldn't really get into their romance. I kept wanting to tell them to slow down, since they'd just barely met. And the dialogue just didn't work for me; I didn't find it funny and kept comparing it (unfavorably) to Brockmann's.
Linda: LOL, I loved the dialogue and laughed a lot in this book. I loved Big Daddy Jake and his cohorts. I loved the respectful way they were treated; these people were poor but prideful, not wanting charity. Theo endeared himself to me when he bought the fence for poor little John Patrick...how could you not love a man that thoughtful? Since I met, fell in love and married my hubby in less then 3 months I don't have a problem with love-at-first sight plots - very believable to me - as I have experienced it. I think Roger and I both knew after the first date that we were going to click.
We haven't talked about Noah yet. I loved the moment in Heartbreaker when he appeared and said "I come from a long line of lawmen" and then it was revealed his last name was Clayborne. As a big fan of the For The Roses, this touch put a big smile on my face. The physical description and his personality basically make this man Clay Clayborne's great-grandson. I didn't care for the little Roses books, but even though I wasn't crazy about Come The Spring I loved Clay. I am looking forward to Noah's book. Theo is the brother of Nick Buchanan from Heartbreaker and this book made me happy that this is a very large family!
Blythe: I liked For the Roses but have entirely forgotten the plot of Come the Spring. I haven't read Heartbreaker, so I totally missed this allusion to the earlier Clayborne. I am of two minds about continuing to read these books. On one hand, I wasn't particularly interested in this one, so I'm not sure I want to read Garwood in contemporary form again. On the other hand, I found many of the secondary characters in this book more interesting than the main couple. I liked Noah, and I was very intrigued by Mike's brother, John Paul, about whom we hear very little. If she wants to write a book about him, I might be persuaded to read it.
And just as I preferred some of the secondary characters to the primary ones, I was also more interested in some of the sub-plots, particularly the one involving a local man who is fired from a mill. I wanted to see more of a payoff there. But I also thought some of the characters were a little too down home, especially Big Daddy Jake (I mean, come on - Big Daddy?) And does every book set in New Orleans or the bayou have to have a character named Remy? I lived in New Orleans for four years and never managed to meet even one Remy, or even see one mentioned in the newspaper, but if my view of New Orleans had been formed from romances I'd think you couldn't throw a rock without hitting some guy named Remy.
Linda: I actually know a Remy, but he is from East Texas - which is just a stone's throw from Louisiana. I thought that "Big Daddy" fit Jake, as he was the town's father. What I really loved was the prologue when he comes to terms with Mike's brains and sees that she is able to reach her potential and not be limited by her place of birth.
I hope that John Paul will appear again too. I was also interested in the hints we see about Theo and Nick's sister Jordan who apparently started a high tech company, that seems like a natural for a book. Hopefully, we will see more of Nick and Theo in future books - I would have liked to see Nick involved in the investigation of the Sowing Club, as I liked him a great deal.
What I liked best about this book is that Garwood managed to write a romantic suspense book that kept the romance at the forefront of the book. The couple never gets lost in the turns and twists of the plot. She succeeded where JAK failed in Lost and Found - the couple is likable and I felt the connection between them.
The Sowing Club is a group of very believable sociopaths, unlike the dumb cults that JAK has in several of her books. These people are pure evil, but they are also believable and very scary. Frankly, I just loved this book and it will be interesting to see if other longtime Garwood fans react as favorably to it. If she keeps turning out books like this I won't miss the historical settings, as what I really love are her people and her humor, both of which were strongly on display in Mercy. What's up for next month?
Blythe: I'm glad you liked it better than I did. But for good suspense and Bayou atmosphere, I would stick with Sandra Brown's classic, Slow Heat in Heaven, and for someone looking to try a Garwood, I'd steer them toward Castles.
Next month is a change of pace...we're reading The Outlaw and the Lady by Lorraine Heath. I think Heath always turns out a good book (I've never given her books lower than a B-, and there were several I loved) so I am really looking forward to it.
Linda: LOL, Castles is not my favorite Garwood, I would recommend The Bride or The Prize myself. I have been reading the Heath series about second sons of English Lords in Texas and look forward to this latest and I think last book in the series.
Blythe: Then perhaps it is one we will both enjoy. See you next month.
Linda: Now where would be the fun if we both agreed on a book? <g> Dara Joy's Ritual of Proof is on the top of my TBR pile and I can hardly wait to get to it! Happy reading!

Take it from someone who recently tried bringing up Paula Abdul's "Rush, Rush" video to Keanu Reeves: No matter how ill-advised their previous projects might be, no matter how high their careers have since soared, most celebrities avoid bad-mouthing their back catalog.
On April 18, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" will hit theaters, with Judd Apatow's comedy clan eager to follow in the footsteps of "Superbad" and "Knocked Up." But as advance screenings have built buzz for the flick, a question is on the minds of those who've glimpsed one eyebrow-raising scene: Is Kristen Bell making fun of her last movie?
In August 2006, the actress starred in "Pulse," a horror film about a demon-infested wireless signal that vanished quickly from theaters and currently stands at a lowly 12 percent approval rating on RottenTomatoes.com. In "Marshall," Bell plays a TV actress whose boyfriend teases her about having starred in a movie "with a ridiculous premise: What would happen if your mobile phone killed you?" Meanwhile, her ex jokes, "Why couldn't you just take the battery out of the phone?"
Now, Bell and her gang have shared the scene with MTV News — and they also filled us in on the stranger-than-fiction truth behind it.
"Oh my gosh, I'll give you the exclusive on this," Bell laughed recently, knowing that fans on the MTV Movies Blog have already begun asking the "Pulse" question. "It's too funny."
"She had an interesting reaction when she saw that in the script," said "Marshall" co-star Jason Segel, who wrote the movie with director Nick Stoller. "Kristen was convinced that we were intentionally trying to make fun of her."
"We had no idea that she had done a movie that had the premise of a killer cell phone," Stoller agreed. "We just thought it was a funny idea that seemed in line with all these Japanese horror remakes. And so it came out totally randomly."
Sure enough, "Pulse" was a remake of the 2001 Japanese film "Kairo."
"I hate to say it, but we were trying to think of the dumbest concept for a movie," Segel chuckled. "And that's what we stumbled upon."
Since Apatow's comedies are largely improvised, Bell wasn't aware of the intended joke until just moments before the cameras began rolling; immediately, she suspected foul play. "I just looked at Nick and Jason and rolled my eyes, and they were like, 'What? Isn't that funny?' " Bell remembered. "And I was like, 'You guys, I just don't want anyone to be offended. I don't want to make fun of something that's real.' And they were like, 'What are you talking about?' "
Stoller backed up Bell's story. "She was like, 'Really? Are you gonna go there?' Kristen was like, 'I hope the producer doesn't kill me for this.' "
"Neither of them have seen 'Pulse,' " the actress insisted. "And I know this, because I bugged them about it for a week. I was like, 'You guys, I don't want to offend anyone.' I was grateful for that break. I loved it. It wasn't the best horror movie of all time, but it wasn't the worst horror movie of all time."
Suddenly, Bell sounded again like Sarah Marshall, who defends her film by saying: "It's not for everyone … it's a metaphor for addiction to technology."
To which her boyfriend (Russell Brand) responds: "It's a metaphor for a crap movie!"
"Part of what's great about working on these Judd movies is that we all bring a bit of ourselves to our characters," observed Segel, pointing out that Bell's character also expresses career concerns after her TV show is canceled (um, "Veronica Mars"?). "Kristen had an amazing tightrope to walk, and she did it. … That's part of why the movie works."
"If they were really making fun of 'Pulse,' I would have said, 'This is too close to home,' but I was so enamored with the simple fact that they had come up with it on their own," Bell marveled. "It's so weird."
Check out everything we've got on "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

text: I originally typed this post in anger against the shipping fees of a particular coin supply company. In fairness, I erased the post and am now starting over. The specific company has been mentioned several times for their good pricing. I was just upset that when I went to checkout with my $85 in supplies, they wanted an additional $28 to ship it! So, instead of publicizing a company with high shipping rates, I'm going to mention a different company that offers both good prices and a good shipping deal. I had about 20 items at the 1st coin supply and matched those 20 items at nearly the same price at the 2nd store. It's their shipping that impressed me. Once you reach $75, they charge a flat rate of $9.99! If I can save a little money here and there, I'm all for it. The company? Which by the way, I of course have no affiliation with is: http://www.coinsupplyexpress.com/ I've placed a few orders with them now and have had no issues. Cheers!

The aftermath: Reminders of daughter's death still weigh heavily 2 years later
Mother calls for victims' rights as she waits on judicial process
Hensley texted her daughter several times the next day with no response. It wasn't until 11:15 a.m. — more than seven hours after Christensen's body was discovered by police — that the officer came to her door.
Two days later Hensley got to see her daughter's body, which by then had been embalmed and prepared for a funeral.
"I could not wrap my brain around it. To me, she was still here. I didn't ID her body. To me they made a mistake. So for two days of sheer hell I was waiting for my daughter to walk through that door at any moment and say, 'Elo, mom,'" she said, recalling how she and her daughter would jokingly talk to each other in fake British accents. "I waited and waited for that and it never came."
Christensen had reportedly been asked by Fiske to help Jerden move that night. Somehow, the three ended up at Ashton's apartment. When Jerden was shot, Christensen was hiding in a bathroom. Hensley said her daughter happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time that night.
Smith attacked Christensen "with the intent to prevent her from testifying" about the shootings, according to an arrest warrant police wrote. Smith assaulted Christensen "at the direction of Paul Ashton," he warrant states.
Hensley, however, believes Smith had the chance to just walk out of the apartment and leave her daughter alone.
"He could have been the hero that night," she said. "Brandon Smith could have made a really big decision that night and it could have gone a completely different direction and my daughter would still be alive … but he didn't. He made a choice. He took the life of a person he didn't even know was in the house. He was unaware she was even in there, didn't even know who she was."
Ashton — who was leaving the area just as police were arriving and was immediately pulled over and questioned — told officers he shot Jerden in self defense after she attacked him with a tool box, the warrant states. Ashton also claimed he told Smith to come to his apartment and bring a gun because "someone was trying to kill him."
Smith called 911 several hours later, saying he "just woke up and was covered in blood," according to court records. He claimed to "black out" after giving Ashton a gun.
The day after the deaths, Fiske wrote on his Facebook page: "I was shot in the back when my girlfriend was murdered over a missing mountain bike! I wish I could take her spot!! I would take her spot anytime!!! I miss her so much!"
Police and prosecutors have remained fairly tight-lipped about the incident, including not revealing a possible motive. At one point, Ashton's defense attorney asked a judge to close all pre-trial hearings to the public. Neither prosecutors nor Ashton's defense attorney returned repeated calls from the Deseret News.
Hensley said prosecutors from the Washington County Attorney's Office have been good about keeping her up to date on the case. She said she knows about some of the evidence collected that has not yet been made public, which she declined to talk about.
But she believes that when some of the facts come out in court, the public will be surprised to hear how everything went down.
"Everything will eventually come to light, and when it does, I think the public is going to be really shocked," she said.
Until then, Hensley will try to get through the holidays the way she has struggled through everything else since her daughter's death. But it's far from easy.
"Losing her was just like losing myself, like having an amputation. It's gone, but you remember what it was like, and even if it gets replaced it's still gone," she said.

BRUNSWICK — A water-main break closed a portion of Center Road between Substation and Pearl roads late Wednesday and most of Thursday.
Crews from the Cleveland Division of Water worked for nearly 24 hours to repair the break, which was reported just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, said John Goersmeyer, spokesman for the water division.
"We tend to get an increase in water breaks this time of year due to the freezing and thaw process, and simply weather," Goersmeyer said.
In order to fix the problem, workers had to dig an approximately 6-foot hole under Center Road to replace part of a 10-inch "residential-feed" water pipe, Goersmeyer said.
No boil alert was issued for the approximately 15 to 20 homes affected by the break, he said.
The break was repaired by midafternoon Thursday and the road reopened to traffic around 4 p.m., Goersmeyer said.

We love maps. Google maps, theme park maps, Thomas Guides. Thus, we love the laser cut Aminimal Studio New York City Cork Map ($75). If we were city dwellers, we'd be tempted to become way too anal about where we pinned certain things - the shopping list should be pinned to the precise location of our local grocer, and that mysterious stranger's phone number would be pinned to the intersection where our favorite bar sits. Our anal retentive side also has a major problem poking holes in something that costs $75, but we digress.
While really cool, this would be more appropriately named the manhattan cork map. Just sayin'.

Robert de Haas, manager and 20-year veteran with Pine Brook Water District, faced daunting challenges as he measured up to his "Dam Boss" hardhat.
First, he led the district, which serves 400 residences located a mile above Boulder, Colo., in obtaining approval for the Class 1 dam and reservoir in a staunchly environmentalist county.
County commissioners approved the dam application in a mere five months, less time than it takes to obtain a permit for building a home on mountain property. Then the water district shortened the design and construction sequence for the 100-acre-foot reservoir and dam to 18 months using a design-build approach, a unique delivery method for dams.
This small mountain water district made bold decisions, and then acted. Before asking for the county commissioners' approval, the district went to residents with a bond election and obtained a 75% approval rating.
"This told the commissioners we had the backing of the community and could pay for the project,"says de Haas.
Another smart move was to commission Denver-based ERO Resources Corp. to perform an environmental study before applying for a 1041 permit. (The $50,000 study was paid for out of general obligation bonds.) When Boulder commissioners doubted the water district's study, they commissioned one of their own. Their study mirrored the water district's: The proposed dam would have no significant negative impact on the environment.
The project being visible only within the Pine Brook community also helped speed up the application process. And when commissioners realized the reservoir's storage capacity would allow the Pine Brook Water District to let twice the amount of water pass by on one of its withdrawal streams, that clinched the approval.
Another positive decision of de Haas and the board was to make the presentation themselves instead of hiring a public relations firm and "having it come off like a sales pitch." They presented the hour-long PowerPoint presentation first to community residents and answered their questions, then tailored the presentation for county commissioners covering every possible angle: need, alternatives that had been considered, alternative sites, visibility, and community support.
Since Colorado requires bidding on public projects of more than $50,000 in value, the Pine Brook Water District pre-qualified four contractors and asked them for design-build proposals with an estimated price. De Haas and the district selected the team of Pueblo-based ASI Constructors Inc. as general contractor with Denver-based TCB/AECOM for design based on qualifications and lowest bid.
The contractor took the lead in this design-build team. The engineer was paid by ASI Constructors and was directly responsible to ASI. In traditional design-bid-build, the engineer is paid by and responsible to the project owner. The engineer then works with the contractor to make sure the project is built to design specifications.

Kieschnick Leads Tech To 8-3 Win Over No. 13 Texas A&M
April 6, 2007
LUBBOCK, Texas - Sophomore Roger Kieschnick went 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs to lead Texas Tech to an 8-3 win over No. 13 Texas A&M on Friday afternoon at Dan Law Field. The win by the Red Raiders evens this three-game series at 1-1.
Texas Tech and Texas A&M were scheduled to play a doubleheader but the final game has been postponed due to inclement weather. The final game of this series has been scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
It looked like déjà vu all over again for the Red Raiders in the top of the second inning as the Aggies took the lead for the second straight day. Texas A&M plated a pair of runs on four consecutive hits from the bottom of their order to take a 2-0 lead.
Texas Tech struck back in the bottom half of the third inning as the Red Raiders got key hits from Matt Smith and Roger Kieschnick. Freshman third baseman Chris Hall led off the inning with a double down the left field line and Smith brought him home with a clutch two-out single to left. Sophomore right fielder Roger Kieschnick then gave the Red Raiders their first lead of this when he blasted a two-run home run deep over the bullpen in right field.
The Red Raiders plated single runs over the next three innings to grab a 6-2 lead. A pair of errors by A&M reliever Travis Starling broke the game open for Tech in the bottom half of the seventh. With the bases loaded, Starling tried to make a pickoff at first base but the throw went wild and that sent two Red Raiders home and gave Tech an six-run lead.
Sophomore right-hander AJ Ramos (7-1) earned his seventh win of the season by logging seven strong innings allowing just two runs on nine hits. Matt Ueckert (1-1) suffered the loss for Texas A&M as he gave up three earned runs on six hits and walked two.

Regional overview
Regional overview
Updated to Q1 2016
The European caprolactam (capro) market showed a small downward movement in both January and February, with prices falling by up to €20/tonne as a result of the two consecutive falls of feedstock benzene.
Despite some hesitation due to falling crude oil prices and the volatility of global financial markets, downstream demand is strong. Market players expect end-use nylon demand growth of up to 5% in 2016 because of increased use by automotives as part of their lightweighting drive. In addition, BCF carpets are coming back into fashion. Capro is also seeing demand from expanding downstream nylon 6 capacity.
Although the European capro market remains structurally oversupplied for the time being, several sources on both sides of the market think that capro supply may become tight when new nylon 6 capacity comes on stream in Europe in 2016.

This is a 7x7 book of 120 pages. A compilation of many shoots over a period of five years. Gustavo is an outstanding model, handsome, charming, and just a beautiful hispanic man.
This book is in color throughout with many frontal nude and clothed images. Photographs were taken in many varied venues from a ranch to a beautiful home in Palm Desert, to my inside studio. The book is hard-wrapped with the photograph printed on the cover of the book.
Having discovered photography in high school, my interest has continued over the years. I have had experience with large format cameras (4x5), medium format cameras (2-1/4) and small format cameras (35mm), but now have advanced to digital cameras. This type of photography allows for using a "dry darkroom" - the computer. The ease of shooting the picture, immediately evaluating, cropping and enhancing the image is very exciting. After years of working in a wet darkroom, the change is not only cleaner, but offers more flexibility. Because computers can do far more things than conventional photography, the digital world allows far more creativity. Working in my own graphics and typesetting business for over 30 years gave me an early introduction to computers and the sophistication of the new graphics programs. I have taken thousands of images and these books have given me incentive to find new models to photograph, so this will be a continuing process.

Complete the Transfer Process
- Send a Final ACM Transcript
After students complete their last courses at ACM, they request a final academic transcript be sent to the new college or university. Transcripts may be requested through the ACM Admissions/Registration Office or by completing the electronic form at http://www.allegany.edu/x117.xml. A nominal fee is charged for each transcript requested.
When students request a final ACM transcript be sent to the new school, they should ask for a personal copy. Students should keep the personal copy in a secure file for future personal or job references. In addition to keeping a copy of the transcript, students should keep directions and access codes for ACM Student Webadvisor.
- Application received but…
After submitting the application, a student will receive a notification from the transfer school. The notification may be electronic or may come through the mail. The notification should acknowledge the receipt of the application and may request any missing information or possibly ask for additional information or payment of fees. If a notification is not received within a reasonable time span (several week, for early application or a few weeks or days, for late application depending on the closeness of the entering semester), the student should call or email the admissions office at the new school.
- Acceptance
Since the admission process varies, the admissions letter may be mailed quickly or received after what may seem like a long wait. Colleges may follow a rolling admissions policy, meaning as students apply and are recognized as satisfying admissions requirement, they are admitted. Other colleges may wait until a certain date to review applications. After reviewing a stack of applications, they will admit the best candidates. Colleges with competitive admissions may place students whose academic credentials are at the lower end of their acceptance level on a wait list. A decision for admission will be made at a later time.
- More information and fees
After offering admission, the college may request additional information such as health records and/or proof of vaccinations. Additional fees may be assessed at this time.
For students with disabilities or in need of special accommodations, this would be a good time to contact the disability office at your new school. The new school may require copies of your disability evaluation and/or IEP. Students should not expect to receive immediate assistance for accommodations requests made after the semester begins.
- Transfer Credit Evaluation
A written evaluation of transferable credits should be mailed within a month of acceptance to the college. If the evaluation is not received prior to registering for courses, the student should contact the admissions office at the new school.
When the evaluation is received, the student should review it carefully. The evaluation may have been processed electronically or by hand, so the students should double check it to make sure that all of the courses that were expected to transfer have been accepted. Some courses may have been omitted, so the student should contact the admissions office at the new school to determine the reason. Liberal arts courses will transfer to most colleges, but many technical or career courses may not. New courses at ACM, special topics course, and independent studies courses may not be evaluated and may show as not transferable. To help with the process, the student should keep the syllabi for the courses and any major projects required by the courses. A petition will need to be submitted to the appropriate office or committee at the new school to have these credits accepted.
If a student have questions about the evaluation and need some assistance in interpreting it, ask an ACM transfer advisor to help.
- Registration
The registration process, enrolling in classes, may be different at a new school. ACM students are accustomed to registering any day after the start of early registration though the first week of classes. Transfer colleges may have one or a few days set for registering transfer students. New students may need to register online and be faced an unfamiliar process. Other schools may have a special transfer registration orientation, and some schools may not register transfer students until the day before classes begin.
- Apply early
- Provide all of the documentation the new school requires.
- Make sure your accounts at ACM are all paid.
- Attend the first registration session to which you are invited.
- If the session is schedule while ACM classes are being conducted, notify ACM instructors and make arrangements to make up missed class work.
- The selection of classes may be lessened if you attend a later session.
- Be familiar with the new college's catalog and have an idea of courses you plan to take. Develop a tentative education plan before going to register.
- Since advisors may not have access to transfer credit evaluations, bring a copy.
- If questions arise about what the advisors recommend, ask questions.
- Self Advocacy
As was mentioned in the previous section, students should be somewhat familiar with their new schools requirements before attending. Students can accomplish this by reviewing the catalog, becoming familiar with the general education and major requirements, and having a general idea of the required courses.
Most importantly, ask questions. These are some examples:
- I think I have already taken an equivalent course, could you please check?
- Do I have the prerequisite to take that course?
- Why am I taking that course? Is it required of my major?
- What is the process to appeal to have a course indicated as "non-transferable" to have it transfer?
- Begin Classes
The first day of classes may be a challenge at a new school. The campus may be much larger than ACM and the buildings more confusing. Remember the first day of high school or the first day at ACM. It took time to become familiar with new surroundings, but after a short time, it became comfortable. Again, do not be afraid to ask questions. To help prepare for that first day, students visit campus and wander the hallways and pathways before classes begin, find the restrooms, the best coffee on campus, advisor's and instructors' offices, the library, and other support services.
Students often comment that a big university is not as friendly as a small community college. With careful planning, students can have most of their general courses completed at ACM and they only need to complete their major courses at the large university. Students will often find that major professors are truly involved in educating the major's students. Advisors want the students in their major to succeed, and they enjoy discussing the theories and intricacies of the major with students. A student who enjoys one of your instructor's lectures should ask if they can stop by his/her office to discuss it. Students may find that the instructor becomes an important mentor.
- Reverse Transfer
Reverse transfer can be defined in two ways, 1) students transferring from a four-year college to a community college to complete an associate degree program, and 2) students who are working on a bachelor's degree at a four-year college transferring credit back to a community college to earn an associate degree.
Students who are transferring from a four-year college into an associate degree at ACM must have their official transcripts sent to the ACM Admissions Office for evaluation. The Associate Registrar will review the credits and apply the appropriate transferable courses to the ACM program.
A growing trend with community college students is to transfer credits earned at a four-year college back to the community college to earn an associate degree. Students may have attended the four-year college for several semesters before transferring credit and graduating from the community college. ACM associate degrees require between 60 and 70 credits while certificates include 30 or more credits. According to Academic Regulation F3,
To assist with the registration process:
Frostburg State University generally schedules five transfer registration days for the fall semester and two or three for the spring. The first session for fall is usually late April and subsequent sessions are offered in June, July, and August. The last session is conducted the business day before classes begin. Sessions for spring registration are held in late November or early December and on the business day before classes begin. In all cases, you must have been admitted at least two weeks prior to the session's date, meaning ALL of your paperwork must be completed. Registration on the last business day before classes begin is not recommended. Class selection will be limited, and the entire process may be complicated.
All advisors are not aware of the process for registering a transfer student. Transfer students have a greater degree of flexibility in satisfying general education requirements when transferring to a Maryland public four-year college. Admission and registration staff are knowledgeable about the flexibility, but a department advisor may not. For more details on transferring to a Maryland school, go to http://www.mhec.state.md.us/preparing/stuguide.asp.
"A student who has completed at least half of the required coursework in a curriculum and wants to be admitted to candidacy for the Associate's degree can transfer back to the college the remaining coursework. A student should contact the Associate Registrar to ascertain the transferability of coursework."In addition students must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher in the required courses, be in good standing with the college, and have satisfied all financial obligations to the college. Also students must apply for graduation before the published deadline.
Many four-year colleges are encouraging students to transfer credits back to their community college and to graduate with an associate's degree. This is a part of the National Completion Agenda which is encouraging students to complete degrees.
- Transfer Rights
Transfer students should expect to be treated as a native student (someone who started their college experience at the school). For transfer to another Maryland college or university, a student's rights are clearly described under Student Rights and Responsibilities. For other states, the National Association for College Admissions Counseling publishes the following rights and responsibilities:
When Applying to Transfer from one College or University to Another, You Have Rights:
Before Applying:
- You have the right to receive information from colleges and universities about their transfer admission requirements, including all documents required for admission, housing, and comprehensive information about their institutions' costs, aid opportunities, practices, and packaging policies.
- You have the right to receive information about transfer of courses, credit hours, quality points, and degree requirements. This includes information about transferring courses with grades below a "C," courses you may have repeated, and credit previously granted by examination or advance placement.
- You should know admission officers at NACAC member institutions will not recruit students who are currently enrolled at other institutions unless those students initiate the inquiries, or unless in situations that provide transfer programs seek such cooperation.
When You Are Offered Admission:
- You have the right to receive an official notification of acceptance and at least one month prior to enrollment:
- Written evaluation of courses and credits accepted for transfer credit and their course equivalences;
- An outline of transfer courses and requirements which these courses and requirements will satisfy for the degree you are seeking;
- A statement about your previous grade-point average/quality points and how they will affect or not affect (your new index);
- A written analysis of the number of semesters/quarter-hours and credits required to complete a degree in your currently stated major field of study (if applicable).
- You have the right to wait to respond to an offer of admission and/or financial aid until May 1. It is under stood that May 1 will be the postmark date.
- Colleges that request commitments to offers of admission and/or financial assistance housing prior to May 1, must clearly offer you the opportunity to request (in writing) an extension until May 1. They must grant you this extension and your request may not jeopardize your status for admission and/or financial aid.
When You Apply to Transfer from one College or University to Another, You Have Responsibilities:
Before You Apply:
- You have the responsibility to research and understand the transfer policies and procedures of each college and university to which you plan to apply, including ad mission, financial aid, scholarships and housing. This includes being aware of any deadlines, restrictions and other transfer criteria. You also have to be sure that you understand the policies of each college or university regarding deposits that you may be required to make before you enroll.
As You Apply:

Disclosure: Product samples were provided by Frank & Oak for coverage purposes.
The only thing worse than wearing a video game t-shirt with a loud game logo on the front is wearing that t-shirt to an event or conference involving that same game. Many savvy game publishers, developers, and boutique clothing shops know this and have come up with creative designs that excel in subtly and offer clothing that a game fan can wear proudly without bluntly broadcasting their fandom. Some great examples include:
The Irrational Games shop: LINK
The Ubi Workshop: LINK
The Musterbrand store: LINK
Select items from Level Up Wear: LINK
The Assassin's Creed-specific collection from Declaration Clothing: LINK
Montreal-based Frank & Oak is a relative newcomer to game tie-in clothes, but you wouldn't think it based on their design approach in regards to both their website and the clothing itself. Coinciding with the release of Watch Dogs, their collection of pieces inspired by Ubisoft's latest open world game succeeds in complementing Frank & Oak's current catalog while also capturing the style of the game itself. STORE LINK
Note: If you want the actual clothes to make yourself look like protagonist Aiden Pierce, you have to go to Musterbrand.
We received a substantial sample of clothes and gear from this collection and you can check out several photos we took in this article's slideshow. Here are some brief impressions:
Canvas & Leather Duffle - This bag not only feels inspired by Watch Dogs, but also inspired by Frank & Oak's current line of bags. This semi-tube-shaped duffle rests horizontally but is best packed and carried vertically, much thanks to the backpack-style shoulder straps and the handle on the bag's 'lid'. This bag also features four pockets: three in the main compartment (including one for a small laptop) and zipper pocket. The leather is more relegated as accents to the bag while the canvas construction gives it a very durable feel.
Stone colored 'Defalt' Tee - This tee is themed after JB Marcowicz's 'Defalt' persona from Watch Dogs. It's a 100% cotton t-shirt with a worn-in look and feel. It has a "jersey" texture, but is slightly thinner and lighter than most t-shirts that use this fabric.
Ash colored Print Motif Denim Shirt - The tiny triangle pattern dominates the look of this dual breast-pocketed button-down shirt. Yet what's equally eye-catching are designs under the shirt. Unbuttoning the shirt reveals a stripe accent that runs down the buttons and there's a black fabric below the collar. It's made of 79% cotton, 20% polyester, and 1% spandex and includes two replacement buttons.
Charcoal colored Waffle-Knit Henley - Easily my personal favorite piece out of all the samples. Given that I live in San Francisco, the light feel is perfect for any mild wind chills. It's stretchy enough for quick jogs with the dog and the collar can be loosed with the three buttons to get some air in. It's made of 100% cotton and includes one replacement button. It's currently sold out, but Frank & Oak might eventually restock this shirt.
Jet Black colored Patterned Cotton Sweater - A warmer option over the henley. While I'm indifferent to the nondescript pattern, I do like the pre-loosened sleeves, which you can hike up. And it also has thumb holes! It's made of 100% cotton.
Charcoal colored Stonewashed Hoodie - Out of all pieces in Frank & Oak's collection, this one best captures the roguish charm of Watch Dogs. Like the 'Defalt' tee, this hoodie has a convincing worn-in look. With its 100% cotton construction, it wouldn't replace your waterproof gear as suitable major rainfall protection, but is more than adequate if you're caught in a sudden light shower. Perks include the drawstrings for the hood and a secret side pocket.

Corporations and filthy rich individuals only want a negative tax rate so they wouldn't have to go to the trouble of having to hide their wealth in offshore tax evasion havens like Switzerland, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, etc. and having to bribe Congresspeople to rig the tax system in their favor. It's only fair (from their point of view).**

New London — There may not be any more digs, sets or spikes in the backyard of 18 Viets St. as a result of a lawsuit served up by the city earlier this year.
The suit alleges that the homeowners operate an illegal commercial volleyball league from their backyard, in addition to being noncompliant with other sections of the city's zoning regulations.
The suit was filed Jan. 15 in New London Superior Court against Edinson G. Mizhquiri and Judith Fajardo, who have owned the Viets Street property since late 2011, according to property records.
"At this point in time we really only have a 'he said, she said' situation," city Law Director Jeffrey T. Londregan said in his report to the City Council on Monday.
He said he has spoken to a neighbor and one other person, both of whom claim Mizhquiri or Fajardo told them they were running a league from their backyard.
"Both defendants in the case have spoken with me and have denied that they're running a league," Londregan said. "They say that it is only friends who come on the same date and time to play after work and that it is not an organized league, there are no referees, there is no scorekeeper, there isn't standings or anything like that."
Mizhquiri and Fajardo declined to speak with The Day.
The volleyball court was approved by the city's planning, zoning and wetlands division after Mizhquiri applied for a permit to comply with two previous cease-and-desist orders.
The application for an administrative zoning permit, approved by Zoning Enforcement Officer Michelle Johnson, allowed Mizhquiri to install an 8-foot-tall fence and two full cut-off residential lights "for recreational court use." Full cut-off lights are designed to limit the amount of light that seeps into other properties.
But on Nov. 12, Johnson issued another cease-and-desist order after receiving complaints from neighbors and learning that Mizhquiri and Fajardo had installed netting higher than the approved 8 feet and put up more lights than the permit allowed.
Mizhquiri and Fajardo did not make changes to the court or request a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals, which ultimately prompted the city's lawsuit.
Londregan said that Mizhquiri and Fajardo have since made changes to the court netting, fencing and lighting to comply with the zoning regulations.
In addition to injunctions forcing Mizhquiri and Fajardo to comply with the zoning regulations and pay the city attorney's fee, the lawsuit also requests that they be fined in accordance with state law. Under the law, Mizhquiri and Fajardo could be fined up to $2,500.
"My hope is that we can enter into a stipulated judgment with the defendants whereby they agree to follow their special use permit and they agree that they do not operate a league," he said.
Mizhquiri and Fajardo are due back in court on July 15.

Description: Throughout the year Summit Lake offers a unique chance to view a myriad of wetland animals. One of the most obvious and perhaps most majestic animals to be seen here is the trumpeter swan. High numbers of other waterfowl species can also be seen during spring and fall migration. Salmon spawn in the clear waters of Tawah Creek.
Facilities, Activities and Species: These symbols denote available facilities, permitted activities and species of interest. The species icons will lead you to a page about that species.
Viewing Information:
In addition to majestic trumpeter swans, observant wildlife watchers may catch a glimpse of many other animals. During spring and fall migration, great flocks of cranes, swans, and geese pass overhead, and sometimes rest, on the Yakutat Forelands. During early spring the intertidal mudflats of the area are an important staging area for migrating shorebirds.
Additionally, visitors may also see moose, brown and black bears, grey wolves, coyotes and a all five species of Pacific salmon.
Safety First:
The Yakutat area can be wet and chilly. Be prepared for wet and chilly weather at any time of the year. There are no staffed facilities along the Alsek Road. Visitors need to be prepared for any emergencies that may occur.
Be cautious of bears in the area. NEVER approach a bear under any circumstances. If you are lucky enough to see one, view it from a distance. Go to the Bear Sense page for more information about how to behave in bear country.
Directions: Summit Lake and Tawah Creek are accessible via Cannon Beach Road or the Ophir Creek Road. Go to the how to get there page for more detailed directions.

- Abstract: Of Hungarian Jewish origin, Madalena Schwartz (1921-93) had a late start as a photographer and quite by accident. However, she quickly went on to become Brazil's premier portrait photographer, choosing always to works in black and white. However, early in her career she became fascinated with So Paulo's vibrant countercultural nightlife and in the early 70s she began working closely with the highly transgressive and contestational queer dance troupe, Dzi Croquettes, and some of her most important photography is made up of behind-the-scenes images of the members of the group, which went on to enjoy immense success in Paris. This presentation will discuss the importance of Schwartz photography, with an emphasis on her work with Dzi Croquettes.

Makes 1 basket
Adapted from A Year in Chocolate (Warner, 2001), also published in Chocolate Holidays: Unforgettable Desserts for Every Season (Artisan, 2005), both by Alice Medrich.
Chocolate-coated pretzel "twigs" are cleverly assembled into a basket, using a bowl lined with plastic wrap for a mold. A chocolate basket makes a delightful edible centerpiece, filled with chocolate truffles, fresh Strawberries, or Easter candy.
Expand/Collapse Ingredient Details
Special Equipment
Line the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to use as a mold.
Put the chocolate in another medium to large stainless steel bowl and set it directly in a wider skillet of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Cool to lukewarm.
Add 3 cups of the pretzels to the chocolate and fold gently with a rubber spatula until the pretzels are lightly coated. If the pretzels are heavily coated, fold in a few more pretzels.
Before the chocolate sets, scrape the pretzels into the plastic-lined bowl and use your hands to arrange them over the bottom and up the sides to resemble a basket.
Refrigerate to set the chocolate. To unmold the basket, lift the plastic liner from the container and peel it away from the pretzels. Fill with chocolate truffles, candies, or fresh strawberries.
