(WOMENSENEWS)--Anna Ingram's big eyes get even bigger when she explains some of the topics she's explored while at Colorado State University.
"I've learned about family structure, the obesity epidemic in America, malnutrition worldwide and credit card debt."
No, the 20-year-old is not a policy wonk or an aspiring non-profit CEO. She is the modern day equivalent of a home economics major.
If you still associate "home ec" with failed junior high sewing projects and co-eds in sweater sets, think again.
Home economics has expanded and evolved. This May, students who either major or minor in family consumer sciences--most of them female--will graduate from colleges in every state.
Classes in cooking and child-rearing--called nutritional sciences and human development--are still on their transcripts. But there are also courses such as "family and the law," the "economics of gender" and the "politics of consumerism" that make legal and political connections to domestic life.
The discipline mainly attracts young women, but not exclusively. In the 1999-2000 school year, 86 percent of the country's 18,000 FCS were female, according to the Washington-based National Center for Education Statistics.
With its focus on the nexus between home and community, some say these courses have the potential to serve as the incubator for the next wave of feminism. Others, however, say the programs are a throwback to home economics, dressed up for this decade.
"Talking about, and more importantly, thinking about the modern family is incredibly important," says Robin Stern, a psychologist and professor at Columbia University's Teachers College in New York. "If FCS can provide a place for women to find a strong feminist voice as to what they want their families to look like, then that's profound. But honestly, I wonder how much change there really is within the discipline."
Roots in Early 1900s
The roots of home economics go back to the early 1900s with the Lake Placid Conferences, a diverse gathering of men and women who, according to the Web site of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, a trade group for the discipline based in Alexandria, Va., had the common concern of "applying scientific principles to the management of the household."
Marian Talbot, a leader of the conference, is quoted on the site as saying that "men and women are alike concerned in understanding the processes, activities, obligations and opportunities which make the home and family effective parts of the social fabric."
At a time when women couldn't vote, much less own property, Talbot was nothing short of a visionary.
But as the actual programs took shape in schools across the country, they seemed to be neatly tracking women into cooking and cleaning while male counterparts got to carve wood and meld metal in shop class.
At the university-level, home economics courses were limited to schools with the highest number of female students, especially in rural areas.
Decline Began in 1970s
The decline of home economics began in the 1970s as the women's rights movement galvanized young women to get out of the kitchen and break into male-dominated schools and professions. By the 1980s, the image of home economics, based on the premise of bread-baking mother and a bread-winning father, seemed downright quaint.
In the mid-1990s, however, a combination of 4-H stalwarts and new wave nutritionists--buoyed by the success of such things as Martha Stewart Living magazine and cooking shows on TV--began rallying behind a home-economics comeback.
Not only could the field continue to teach students about cooking and cleaning, it could also tackle an increasingly complex consumer world with double-income family politics.
In 1994, the National Task Force on Unity and Identity, a group of individuals representing multiple perspectives within the discipline, changed the name of home economics to family and consumer sciences They established a theme: "Empowering Individuals-Strengthening Families-Enabling Communities."
At the same time, the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences convened a board of directors to "establish a forward looking framework," that included analyzing the potential effects of an aging population, genetically-modified foods and the declining popularity of marriage.
The association claims energy conservation in housing design, Head Start and programs to support families as women took their place in the work force all as ideas originally conceived by FCS-trained intellectuals.
Despite these achievements, Kate Levitt, communications-gender scholar at the University of California at San Diego, questions the discipline's intellectual and political force.
"It seems to me that FCS champions the paradox of the American Dream, promoting happiness through a clean, orderly home and lifestyle, rather than functioning as an academic discipline that contributes to our understandings of the world in which we live."
Cooperative Extension Teaching
Many FCS majors express a desire to be stay-at-home moms or teach other women about domestic responsibilities or family planning through Cooperative Extension, federally-funded programs in many agriculturally-based communities aimed to educate and support its citizens, much like a community center in urban cities.
Others are breaking the mold. Many have already or will join the American Association of Family Consumer Sciences, whose 15,000 members have taken on jobs ranging from Washington lobbyist to financial planner to marketing executive.
Ingram isn't interested in teaching or raising children, at least not in the near future.
She dreams of starting her own business to take the booming elderly population on travel adventures. After watching her grandmother struggle with the sudden loss of her husband, she also is thinking about starting a nonprofit organization that counsels new widows on financial planning.
"The discipline addresses really basic things that involve all of us; family, aging, food," Ingram says. "Sure it is important that we help solve the political crisis in Haiti or study semiotics, but what are you going to do if your community is falling apart?"
Courtney E. Martin is a freelancer writer, teacher, and filmmaker living in Brooklyn. She is currently working on a book on the drive for perfection among young women (Simon and Schuster, fall 2006).

text: This Western Maine beauty is designed with the sun in mind! The goal of the owners of this home was to create a home that would be easy to live in for the long term and very energy efficient. It's passive solar design will keep the main living areas of the house very comfortable through the long Maine winter months. This home is a hybrid timber home – meaning it has conventionally framed walls with a exposed heavy timber rafter roof system. The exterior walls consist of conventional 2×6 stud framing with 1" of rigid foam on the exterior and dense-pack cellulose within the 2×6 cavity. The exterior siding is native eastern white pine clapboards. This 2400 square foot home boasts a first floor master suite, 2 extra bedrooms, loft, huge kitchen and great room. This home also has a two-car garage with walk up storage, screened-in porch, a walkout basement with limitless potential, a dumbwaiter that services all three floors, and ample storage spaces.

The internet is what happens when you connect the subconscious to a satellite network: the global transmission of millions of genitals, and horrible things you wish you'd never discovered (including or inserted into some of the genitals). The internet and alcohol both provoke millions of people to say stupid stuff as publicly as possible, but last week a bourbon company tried something so stupid that even the internet had to hold it it by the shoulders and shout "Stop right there buddy! You're making a mistake!"
Maker's Mark publicly humiliated itself, which is weird, because alcohol normally needs to be poured into a person before doing that. They announced that their drink was so popular they were going to water it down. That's like McDonalds announcing that their burgers are so popular they're taking up rat-farming. A message sent to Maker's Brand ambassadors said "… we've worked carefully to reduce the alcohol by volume (ABV) by just 3%. This will enable us to maintain the same taste profile and increase our limited supply so there is enough Maker's Mark to go around…" They didn't explain that "Maker's Mark brand ambassador" was about to become as popular as "1945 German ambassador," because that was implied.
Note the careful phrasing in terms of Alcohol By Volume (ABV), as if they were magically transporting out only the alcohol molecules in some alchemical ceremony. Even if they could do that – which would mean that they were badly misusing the Starship Enterprise – all that would achieve is a few drops of paint stripper. It wouldn't solve their supply problems, it would just create Maker's Mark Lite. (Which was what they were planning anyway). They need to extend their stock.
You do that by watering down liquor.
Watering it down so much that the ABV drops by 3%, meaning the total alcohol content by 6.7%. That's one part in fifteen. In a crate of sixteen bottles, Jim Beam would be selling one bottle of pure water at full price, which is a nice trick if you can manage it, and over a shot of water in another bottle. Which bottle? Whichever one you bought. Because that's what the plan was: add 50 ml of water to every 750 ml bottle on the shelves. Or, to put it another way, the corporation hocking a good mouthful of spit into anything you buy.
They parsed the problem in terms of supply, demand, growth, and various other words used by shareholders instead of distillers. It was a blatant admission of attitude. When a craft distiller sells out of every single bottle of everything they make, hurray! Success! Make more! But when a board meeting realizes that a revenue stream isn't being fully exploited they'll do everything up to and including pissing in their own bottling plant, which, I remind you, was the actual plan.
Distilling is about using spirits to escape the petty problems of the world. This was the exact opposite, letting greed destroy the spirit in every sense of the word.
They claimed that they'd worked with an expert panel of tasters to make sure that the flavor profile wasn't affected. Listen, guys, it's even worse when a barman announces that he's been watering the liquor AND that his customers were too stupid to notice. You get the strong impression that if printing ABV figures on the bottle wasn't federally required we would never have heard of this. If Maker's Mark worked at 42%, it would have originally been made at 42%. It's a cruel reduction of one of the few true answers to life, the universe, and everything we actually have.
In the olden days this would have caused a scattered mass of people to think they'd suddenly become alcoholic, wondering why their drink didn't seem to work right. But the internet allowed the world of bourbon to rise up and stage a reverse-intervention, alternating between imploring and accusing Maker's Mark until they promised not to have less alcohol.
But the true tragedy is that they can't be trusted.
Alcohol makes everyone more honest. A few drams works better than sodium pentothal, and is much more enjoyable. And what we've just learned that deep down the Maker's Mark is really the ink on a balance sheet, not the bottling of divine drink.

Luke previously tried to help a beloved icon from destroying itself with Stop Arnold Schwarzenegger for His Own Good and helped others recover from their alcoholic mistakes in How to Beat Hangovers like a Viking.

i've been watching a bag of yarn on the website to see if they get more in stock. (when i click "add to cart" it says that it's currently out of stock.) but on the page with the single skeins and full bags, some of them actually say "out of stock" instead of "add to cart." i'm wondering if they change "add to cart" to "out of stock" when they know they won't be getting anymore in and leave the "add to cart" when they know they will. i already emailed them about it and never got a response, so i thought i would ask here since i know some KHers have ordered from them in the past.

2013 Grammy Awards give way to a star-studded night
Artists come together to mingle at the largest celebration of their musical accomplishments
The Grammys mark the biggest night for artists to come together in celebration of the best music of the year. The 2013 awards ceremony was packed full of stellar performances, appearances and overall successes for some of the most talented musicians of our time.
Seven-time winner Taylor Swift opened the show with a circus-themed performance of her nominated hit, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Unfortunately, it didn't start the show off with a bang, falling flat with too much going on in the background and too little attention revolving around the young country singer.
[flickr id="8473069924″ thumbnail="original" overlay="true" size="original" group="" align="right"]
LL Cool J was back for the second time as the show's host, but hopefully this will be the last time the rapper/actor will do so. Throughout the entire show, he couldn't seem to stop mentioning hashtags, possibly in hopes of reaching out to young viewers.
While LL Cool J may not have been the ideal host, there were a number of noteworthy performances including Carrie Underwood, Mumford & Sons and Ed Sheeran alongside Elton John, Alicia Keys and Maroon 5, and a special tribute to Bob Marley. One of the great moments was a rare appearance by actor Johnny Depp to introduce the surprise big winners of the night, Mumford & Sons.
Carrie Underwood later took the stage singing her winning hit "Blown Away." At first, the young country star seemed stiff, but as the performance went on, her dress became the conversation piece of the night. The custom Theia dress took on different collage of colors and butterflies, ultimately stealing the show.
The biggest moment of the night was the much awaited comeback of Justin Timberlake. After taking a seven -year hiatus from the music world, the former boyband favorite is back and not planning on slowing down anytime soon. Alongside a full band and Jay-Z, Timberlake performed "Suit & Tie" before serenading us with his new single, "Pusher Love Girl."
As if the night couldn't get any better for Timberlake, he also had two commercial spots for the deluxe edition of his album The 20/20 Experience, along with others for Target and Bud Light Platinum.
This is looking to be a big year for Timberlake, and fans couldn't be happier to welcome him back.
A little later in the awards ceremony, six-time nominee Frank Ocean made his debut performance with a laid-back rendition of "Forrest Gump." Ocean didn't go home empty-handed either, taking the awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album and best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
After sitting through the show only to see 11 of the 81 awards received, viewers may have felt a bit disappointed. Luckily, there's 2014 to look forward to.

Video: Trailer released ahead of Doctor Who return

Was this article actually intended for the Radio Times?
I don't care where it was intended for, I love Dr. Who and am happy to read about it anywhere. P.S. I'm very excited about this new series.
Spot-on article. Let's hope Moffat can pull this off, i.e. cleverness plus emotion.
I'm just all wet. Can't wait.
Not sure what the LGBT angle is but whatever. Hope it's less silly and the plot makes more sense than last series.
I love Dr Who so this article was very welcome….its gearing up to be a great season unlike last years….
Are we going to start writing articles for new Kylie singles?
I love Doctor Who, I agree with the article, but why was it here?
Call me one of the biggest Doctor Who fans, but russel t davies is no longer the exec producer and I doubt torchwood has a future (Gutted). So what does this have to do with LGBT news.
Probably because doctor who has a fair gay following.
true i love doctor who and a loy of other gay guys and gals do 2
This show jumped the shark when David Tennant left. The Doctor needs to be older and wiser and less of a complete prat, accompanied by others who are also not prats.
I'm torn between Jon Pertwee's campness or Tom Baker's insanity.
Ah. The good old days.
I note W6 and his chums, sorry, the Daleks, are out in force in the new Dr Who series to crush all dissent! :)
"Expect, then, more set piece episodes – big, exploding, cinematic visuals that will leap out and grab you, and send children diving for safety behind the sofa. We hope.
All of this is building to an epic conclusion: the departure of the Ponds (which will come as a relief to most of us)"
I didn't like reading this. Didn't seem very fair or neutral. The Ponds are much loved characters, and it will be a shame to see them go. This "we hope" and "a relief to most of us" is far too opinionated. I find this article beneath PN's usual standard.
Will PN now be resurrecting their previews of old for Corrie and 'Stenders?
I think we should be told…
I like Dr Who but this looks like an American Hollywood production now with a very commercial feel to it (sad sigh)
I hope that John Barrowman makes another appearance as Captain Jack Harkness in the upcoming Dr. Who series. I do feel however that some of the storylines are rather heavy, particularly for a family audience when compared to the original series up to Sylvester McCoy. I also enjoyed the spin-off, Torchwood, the first two series of which are the best but with the deaths of Owen and Tosh at the end of the second season and the murder of Jack's beautiful boyfriend, Ianto Jones at the hands of child-molesting aliens in Children of Earth, I feel that Torchwood has lost it's direction and I would like to see a return of Torchwood in it's rightful place, Cardiff and not only Ianto but Tosh and Owen ressurrected.
Having said that, Dr. Who and it's spin-offs is Britain's answer to the various Star Trek series from America and shows that the BBC is still a leading force in the world of programme making.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released a new World Energy Outlook Special Report entitled Redrawing the Energy-Climate Map (PDF) (134 pg, 4.98 MB, About PDF) that identifies global energy measures that can slow the impacts of climate change. The report presents four policy measures to keep the door open to the 2 °C target through to 2020 at no net economic cost, known as the 4-for-2 °C Scenario. One of these four key measures is the minimization of methane emissions from upstream oil and gas production. According to Fatih Birol, Chief Economist of IEA, Through very simple, in many cases, measures taken by the oil and gas companies, we could easily halve the methane emissions, with an additional investment of 0.5 percent of the investment that the companies are doing for oil and gas upstream sector.

1. Can I cook or bake with Greek Cream Cheese?
Yes, the Greek Cream Cheese 8oz. Bar can be used for cooking and baking. As with any lower-fat ingredient, a slight adjustment to your recipe may be needed when the recipe calls for long cooking or baking times. The 8oz. and 12oz. Soft are ideal for creating dips, spreads and finishing sauces. Check out our Greek Cream Cheese Recipes page for delicious ideas, and download the Greek Cream Cheese Recipe E-Book. Greek Cream Cheese is a patented formulation that combines decadent Cream Cheese and Greek Yogurt resulting in a richer, fuller and more decadent flavor experience.
2. Can I freeze Greek Cream Cheese?
We suggest that Greek Cream Cheese not be frozen, as the product texture may change during the thawing process.
3. How long are products good for?
A "Use by Date" is stamped on the back of the 8oz. Bar and bottoms of all cups. If products are maintained under refrigeration up to this date, most will still be good for a few weeks beyond this date.
4. Where can I buy Greek Cream Cheese?
Greek Cream Cheese is available nationwide at Walmart, Kroger and with retailers across New England, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Check back to our Greek Cream Cheese News Page for updates or connect with us on our Greek Cream Cheese Facebook Page or EatGreekCrmChs Twitter Page to keep up-to-date on the latest news.
5. Does Greek Cream Cheese contain allergens?
All of our products are made from milk or cream and therefore contain dairy proteins that can be allergenic to certain individuals.
6. Is Greek Cream Cheese Kosher?
Yes, Greek Cream Cheese is certified under the OU-D emblem.
7. Is Greek Cream Cheese packaging tamper-proof?
Yes, all retail products are sealed with a tamper-proof inner seal. If you notice that this seal is broken, or is not air tight, do not consume the product. Please notify our customer service department at: firstname.lastname@example.com if this occurs.
8. Are Live & Active Cultures safe to eat?
There are more than 400 species of bacteria normally living in our intestines. Approximately 85% of these organisms are "good" and 15% are "bad". When the balance of "good" to "bad" organisms is reversed, our health can be compromised, sometimes severely. Consuming Live and Active Cultures in our food helps to restore a healthy balance of these organisms.

Sonnet 2
by William Shakespeare
Sonnet 2 Time Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (verse)
Quote #1
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow, (line 1)
At the beginning of this poem, the passing of time is a pretty scary thing. It attacks you, freezes you, carves you up and wears you away. Time isn't a series of happy, carefree summers, it's a long stretch of winters that slowly pulls you down. More than anything though, it steals away your youth and beauty, and leaves you with nothing. The poem has to set up this evil, scary version of time so that the speaker can convince the young man to do something about it.
Quote #2
Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held: (lines 3-4)
This is another example of how time is a killer. It takes the beautiful, fresh clothes you wear when you are young and turns them into crummy old rags. Maybe Shakespeare is partly talking about actual clothes (a beautiful suit getting old and tattered over time) but the general idea is that your whole body and your life gradually become worn out, and life moves from pride and happiness to shame and sadness.
Quote #3
Then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies, (line 5)
Now the poet asks the reader to put himself into the future and imagine the kind of conversation he will have in forty years. Apparently people will wonder why he isn't good looking anymore, and he won't have much to say to them. In a sense then, there is some time travel going on in this poem. The speaker asks us to imagine the way we'll look and feel when we are old, and even what kind of conversations we'll have.

Drawn Up: Behind Brandon's game-winner
Savvy call, flawless execution gives Bulldogs win
Published 11:45 PM CST Nov 21, 2012
With 38 seconds remaining in a 7-7 ballgame, Brandon High School faced a third and 4 at the Hattiesburg High 22-yard line.
Brandon had faced Hattiesburg just two weeks prior and used extensive bootleg action to keep the Tigers off balance.
On the third down play, Brandon cleared out to the left side and running back Davien Tillis released on a wheel route down the right side for a wide open touchdown reception to give Brandon a 14-7 win and a trip to the 6A semifinals.

I am 5'3 and i am a little bit explosive, but i want that edge so that i can blow by my defender. What can i do to work on it
Hey.There's plyometrics that you can do,their specifically for explosivness.
A couple links-
There's 3 articles on there about what it is,and upper body and lower body explosivness.
If you have a facebook I also recommend adding Adam Linkenauger because he can help you anything vertical
jump which includes explosivness.Here's a link to his blog:
Hope this helps.
hey man. I am about ur height (5'4) and i had the same problem last year. I bought a bunch of DVD's that helped my game out and one of them hand a drill that completely helped my explosiveness. You use a tennis ball and a basketball (You can use a partner, but you can do it by yourself). Dribble the ball in one hand and have the tennis ball in the other. Drop the tennis ball maybe a footaway from yourself and let it bounce once. Before it bounces again, quickly crossover to the other hand and pick the tennis ball out of the air with your free hand (Make sure the ball is actually far enough so that you have to move to catch it). This is simulating you quickly crossing over and protecting the ball from the defenders hand. If your doing this drill the right way, it helps you be more explosive and helps your crossover get quicker. If you have any questions, just reply back to this. hope i could help

Dale and I were born and raised in the 'big city', where life is fast paced, fast talking and sometime it simply too much financially and certainly mentally. By 2011, we were beginning to face the time in our lives where hard decisions needed to be made. Did we like the direction we were facing or had we come to a point in our lives where peace in our mind's and souls meant more to us than competing in the preverbial 'rat-race'? We began to pray for a simplier life in a place where we could truly be at home with oursleves. A community that shared our deep love for Christ our Father, had strong family values and a commitment to this great country. Finding this piece of heaven really placed us at the 'crossroads' of our lives, so we made the decision to sell everything not needed or nailed down. Packed a truck, the dogs, the horses, sold our home and left all our friends and family to travel 1800 miles south-west where we found this relaxing retreat from the rest of the real world. A place we can be at one with nature and our horses. We feel blessed, but we are rarely lonely having found our piece of heaven.
It is our greatest desire to share that passion for life, the stepping out into the " great un-known" and having the faith that we are still never truly on our own. A profound difference. Come to Crossroads Ranch and Retreat, where heaven meets reality! Now you know our story, can't wait to hear yours! We look forward to seeing you on The Ranch!
"I have been riding as long as I can remember. I first began in the hunter-jumper arena with moving into 3-day event by the time I was 15 years old. During the college years, I studied Equestrian Studies and then graduated with a BA in Business. During my early years, I had ridden with some of the greats: Bruce Davidson, World Cup rider and Olympian; Sally Swift, internationally recognized for her training methods of balanced riding and Tom Poulin, FEI Dressage Rider & trainer. More recently my passion began to move me towards the training methods of 'Natural Horsemanship' stylized by so many wonderful gentlers such as Monty Roberts, Buck Brennaman and Clinton Anderson. I continue my education daily, but realize no one teaches riding like the horse himself! I look forward to sharing this love of riding and the animal himself with all who come here."
"I have worked in the trades for most of my life. Vikki and I met when we were 13 years old and her passion for riding and for her horses became instrumental in our lives from the jump. I kind of knew, love the women, love her horses! Honestly, it was a great thing for me. I learned to see the magnificence of the animal through her eyes. When she started teaching me some of what is now referred to as 'natural horsemanship', these were techniques she was using very early on- without her even knowing it. Now we both share our love of riding, working with the horses and our commitment to offering a beautiful facility with people that share our passion and interests."

Line segment rasterization begins by characterizing the segment as either x-major or y-major. x-major line segments have slope in the closed interval ; all other line segments are y-major (slope is determined by the segment's endpoints). We shall specify rasterization only for x-major segments except in cases where the modifications for y-major segments are not self-evident.
Ideally, the GL uses a ``diamond-exit'' rule to determine those fragments that are produced by rasterizing a line segment. For each fragment f with center at window coordinates and , define a diamond-shaped region that is the intersection of four half planes:
Essentially, a line segment starting at and ending at produces those fragments f for which the segment intersects , except if is contained in . See Figure 3.4.
To avoid difficulties when an endpoint lies on a boundary of we (in principle) perturb the supplied endpoints by a tiny amount. Let and have window coordinates and , respectively. Obtain the perturbed endpoints given by and given by . Rasterizing the line segment starting at and ending at produces those fragments f for which the segment starting at and ending on intersects , except if is contained in . is chosen to be so small that rasterizing the line segment produces the same fragments when is substituted for for any .
When and lie on fragment centers, this characterization of fragments reduces to Bresenham's algorithm with one modification: lines produced in this description are ``half-open,'' meaning that the final fragment (corresponding to ) is not drawn. This means that when rasterizing a series of connected line segments, shared endpoints will be produced only once rather than twice (as would occur with Bresenham's algorithm).
Figure 3.4: Visualization of Bresenham's algorithm. A portion of a line segment is shown. A diamond shaped region of height 1 is placed around each fragment center; those regions that the line segment exits cause rasterization to produce corresponding fragments.
Because the initial and final conditions of the diamond-exit rule may be difficult to implement, other line segment rasterization algorithms are allowed, subject to the following rules:
Next we must specify how the data associated with each rasterized fragment are obtained. Let the window coordinates of a produced fragment center be given by and let and . Set
(Note that t=0 at and t=1 at .) The value of an associated datum f for the fragment, whether it be R, G, B, or A (in RGBA mode) or a color index (in color index mode), or the s, t, or r texture coordinate (the depth value, window z, must be found using equation 3.3, below), is found as
where and are the data associated with the starting and ending endpoints of the segment, respectively; and are the clip w coordinates of the starting and ending endpoints of the segments, respectively. for all data except texture coordinates, in which case and ( and are the homogeneous texture coordinates at the starting and ending endpoints of the segment; results are undefined if either of these is less than or equal to 0). Note that linear interpolation would use
The reason that this formula is incorrect (except for the depth value) is that it interpolates a datum in window space, which may be distorted by perspective. What is actually desired is to find the corresponding value when interpolated in eye space, which equation 3.2 does. A GL implementation may choose to approximate equation 3.2 with 3.3, but this will normally lead to unacceptable distortion effects when interpolating texture coordinates.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
In its ancient Gaelic form, the Irish name Bolyard was written O Beollain, formed from a Norse personal name.
The surname Bolyard was first found in counties Clare and Sligo (Irish: Sligeach), in the province of Connacht in Northwestern Ireland, where they held a family seat.
During the Middle Ages, surnames were spelt by scribes solely based on how it sounded, one's name could have been recorded many different ways during the life of its bearer. Numerous spelling variations were revealed in the search for the origin of the name Bolyard family name. Variations found include Boland, Bolan, Boland, O'Boland, O'Bolan, Bolend, Bolen, Bolland, Bollan, Bollend, Bollen, Bowland, Bowlan, Bowlin, Boulland, Bollander, Bolander, Bollinder, Bolinder, Bollendar, Bolendar, Bollandar, Bowlander, Boulander, Bouland and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bolyard research. Another 461 words (33 lines of text) covering the year 1014 is included under the topic Early Bolyard History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

Under the rule of England, land ownership in Ireland changed dramatically, and many native Irish families found themselves renting out land to farm from absentee owners. This was one of the prime reasons that immigration to North America began in the late 18th century: Irish farmers dreamed of owning their own parcel of land to work for themselves. At this point, the immigrants were at least of modest means for the passage across the Atlantic was often quite dear. In the 1840s the Great Potato Famine created an exodus of people of quite different means. These people were most often destitute: they either sold anything they had to gain a passage or they were sponsored by philanthropic societies. Many of these immigrants were sick from disease and starvation: as a result many did not survive the long transatlantic journey. Although those settlers that did survive were often despised and discriminated against by people already established in these nations, they were critical to rapid development of the powerful industrial nations of the United States and the country that would later become known as Canada. An examination of immigration and passenger lists shows many persons bearing the name of Bolyard or one of its variants: James Boland who arrived in New England in 1764; Dominic, Francis, James, and John Boland, all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860; Jeremiah Boland arrived in Quebec, Canada, in 1825.

Can I?!!!
ps - have a look at my fb wall, my daughter posted a short video of her mates swinging in the armchairs in the woods - gives you a feel for the day
Will have a look SL
Been gorgeous and my face is glowing! Watching the closing ceremony now, it's a bit bonkers!
I missed half of it but got the last hour - not really sure it was worth staying up for, the opening was better - apart from Sir Macca . I've just dropped kc off at athletics club for the start of the Startrack week - wish I could chill today but got to do mega clean up for social worker coming early tomorrow morning, it's my supervision, they say it's to support me but I wish they'd just sod off a let me get on with it, if I need help I'll ask for it
What's everyone up to today? And where are Yeo, ST, Apps et al?
Hi all. Hope we are all well. I pop in now and again to give you an update.
19 months booze and ciggie free now. Been a bit depressed recently but still managed to do 7 marathons and 2 ultras so far this year. Completed North Downs Way 50 on Saturday in 12 hours. Think I could do that in under 10 next year.
Fantastic going Spen on all fronts - inspirational
Oh well, today didn't go as planned, I took kc to athletics then went to the supermarket. There was a message waiting for me when I got home saying she wouldn't join in and kept running off out of the field so they asked me to take her home. When I got there she'd joined in something and calmed down so they said seh could stay but she had to behave. Within an hour of getting home I got another call, she'd been running off again and punching and kicking people So back I went again, the head coach said she was in the reception area sitting on the sofa but she wasn't there so I spent half an hour searching a blooming great field for her. She found me in the end, she was gutted that she had to come home and really wanted to stay, she thought it was me making her so I put her right and said that it was the coaches who'd said she can't stay and went on a bit about punching people etc. It would have been easy to let her veg infront of the tele all afternoon but I said she couldn't do that or the laptop and she finally entertained herself. Oh well, my unpeaceful day was pretty hectic in the end and the rest of the week won't be much better now, especially as the weather's turned and I can't even chuck her out into the garden - There's a nice thunder storm going on now, lightening and all
I've stuck to my raw food all day and had 2700 cals, no migraines, headache or sickness - I reckon that scone's worked it's way through
Hi Guys! I'm back! Cyprus was wonderful - extremely hot but I didn't go there for rain! Managed to keep on track with my GNR training schedule - 42 miles over 10 runs in 16 days so managed to burn a few calories too! As for the booze - well I didn't get drunk but we did have wine with most meals. That was then.... holiday's over now so I'm back to not drinking at home. I seem to be able to manage that - I don't think I'll ever give up booze completely but am happy with the control I now have over it rather than it has over me.
Back to fat club tomorrow - don't think it'll be too bad as I only had 3 icecreams all the time I was out there - and those were on the days after I'd finished that week's training schedule so I figured I earned them. Not bad going considering that the icecream van visits the complex every day.
Missed most of the Olympics - did manage to see Mo Farah in the 10k though. The locals thought I was some kind of loonie screaming at the tv! Watched the closing ceremony but have yet to watch the opening ceremony. I thought it was just me that didn't think the closing ceremony was all that.
Hope you're all well - can't pretend that I'm going to read back over the posts - my 19 year old managed to save me some washing and ironing to return to and I have a 4.5 mile run to do this morning. Have fun everyone
Welcome back Trigger, great holiday running
Well done spen, fab going
Hope today is calmer SL. Is she allowed back next time for athletics?
Got an interview at 11am and I feel totally
Good luck Cinders - fingers crossed xx
All done, phew. In and out in 10 mins, don't know if that's good or bad. Tripped down the steps on the way out, oops!
Everything crossed, Cinders. At least you didn't trip over on the way in!
Welcome home, Trigger. It sounds like you've found a happy balance that works for you re drinking, that's good to hear.
Sorry to hear you've not been too good after that scone, SL, pesky little blighters that they are. Shame too about KC and the athletics club, but you're obviously making her aware that her actions have consequences, I hope the message sinks in eventually.
Hi Spen, and brilliantly done carrying on despite the depression, which would obviously be a lot worse if you were boozing and not exercising.
I've got two days off, and I'm wondering what I did with my time before the Olympics. They did take over my life, but I'm not at all sorry, I think I enjoyed every minute that I was able to watch.
Work is a bit silly at the moment. The cafe should have opened yesterday, but didn't mainly due to lack of food, and also we haven't worked out how to work the till yet. Hopefully it's opened today, we got as ready as we could last night. The powers that be still don't realise that the staffing level in the cafe is totally unworkable, and that we stand little chance of opening the activity centre side until that is resolved. I'm just glad I'm still doing 3 days a week good old-fashioned domiciliary care to keep me grounded.
Right, lunch-time, then I'm going to look at trainers on-line...
Trainers Yeo - what do want some of those for
Sounds like some fundamental cock ups with the cafe/activity centre - no food
fingers crossed Cinders, when will you find out?
Welcome back Trigger, sounds a lovely holiday - shame about the laundry but probably not unexpected - is he house trained- despite my best efforts and my kids insisting they'd had a thorough clean up I still had to do it all
I think KC's learn the lesson the very hard way - she really wanted to do it, she's been as good as gold today (so far)
Ditto, no food at the new cafe That's not a good start Yeo, nor the lack of staff!
Hope she keeps up the good behaviour SL
Should find out in about a week. They did seem friendly, much more so than the old garage I worked for. They even have the bosses dog in the office
Welcome home Trigger. Sounds like you had a great time! Massive well done on keeping up the running - respect.
Exciting stuff Cinders. Will keep my fingers crossed. Either way, its good experience though.
Yeo - words fail me. Did you order any trainers?
SL - hope KC is still behaving herself. How goes things with you? Are you a skinny bitch yet?
Morning HTF and all
How is the raw food going HTF and SL? I can only dream of being a *skinny bitch*
Packing here, taking the camper out for a few days from tomorrow to a Balloon Festival (hot air ones) in Northampton. Hoping for some ok weather
Have fun, Cinders. I hope the weather changes, round here today the only direction the balloons would have gone is sideways.
I haven't bought the trainers yet, still looking for black ones. At the moment I'm using my running ones for work, but I need black shoes in the new place. I have to really wear trainers if I'm on my feet for any time as I've had plantar fasciitis in the past, and wearing respectable shoes does my feet in. So if I get black trainers for work, who knows what that will free up my other ones for?
The lack of food for the cafe wasn't quite as chaotic as it sounds. The plan for Monday wasn't to open at 9am, but to wait for the food delivery, prep it, and then open once we we ready. But first thing the boss decided that we still had too much to do, so to stop getting stressed we decided not to open at all. As it happened the food didn't arrive until 12 noon, so we wouldn't have been able to open anyway.
Hopefully it's opened by now, but I confess to not being in touch the last couple of days, so I'll find out on Friday.
Tomorrow I'm visiting for the first time a client who lives next door to my Mum's old place! I'm not sure how I'll feel about that, it could be a bit weird.
Evening all
Lol HTF, still doing well eating raw still 2st away from being a skinny bitch Hopefully it'll come soon. How's your raw food going?
KC was an angel yesterday but has been more of a devil child today
Ooh, a balloon festival sounds great Cinders, it's supposed to be fantastic weather this weekend so take your sunnies
I'VE BEEN FOR A RUN We both went to running/athletics club last night, kc peed herself when we arrived - nervous I suppose - but wanted to stay to do high jump so I had take her home to change. The runners had left by the time I got back so I went out and did 3 miles on my own while she flung herself onto some huge mats over a ropey thing
I'd had a really lovely day right till the night time, got a call from my son saying 'don't worry mum but.............. so of course I worried but secretly thinking it's never as bad as you imagine when someone says that. Then he said he'd just gone to meet his girlfriend from work when he had a strange fit in the loo, was jerking around banging his head on the floor but couldn't do anything about it. He didn't think he needed to call an ambulance so I went straight over and took him myself. They did loads of tests and they all came back normal, the doctor said he hadn't had a proper fit, it was some kind of fainting. Poor sod's all battered and bruised as he fell face down, his tooth went through his lip, he's got a cut eyebrow, bashed up knee and a huge lump out of his nose with a big bump on it then when he lifted his top up for an ECG he'd bruised right across his chest. He still feels dazed and not well today
Oh lordy, that sounds alarming SL. I do hope he's ok. Any idea what triggered the fainty thing?
Hi Yeo, no idea at all, he'd had a couple of beers with his dinner, hadn't puffed any herbal cigerettes (he only smokes them a little bit - thankfully!) He's been off work for a fortnight and went back Monday, he was fine, walked from his house to meet his girlfriend at work and started feeling unwell why he was there. Sweating buckets and a bit dizzy so went to the loo to splash his face then just went dizzy and passed out. When he came to he was on the floor, knew he was bashing his head and jerking but couldnt' move or get up. He went all tingly all over then his hand went into spasm and he couldn't move his fingers. I was worried he'd had a mini stroke or something like that but apparently he's fine, just had a weird blip. How are you anyway?
Hmmmm, sounds like he needs keeping an eye on, and maybe seeking medical attention when he starts to feel weird?
I'm fine ta, though feeling curiously apprehensive about visiting my Mum's old place (see a couple of posts above).
Morning all - back to fat club last night and had only put on a 1lb whilst being away which meant that I went in bang on target - RESULT!
SL my son had a similar episode about six years ago but hasn't had one since. Thankfully his happened at home and I was there to see it. His was early in the morning and pre-breakfast. He had all the tests etc and although it was frightening at the time it's never happened again. Hope all is well with your son xx
Fingers crossed for you and the job Cinders
Hi HTF hope you're ok
Good luck Yeo - hope the cafe sorts itself out soon - must be difficult for those working there

As a result of my spiritual beliefs, I have been blessed with the ability to capture the paranormal in photographs and share them with you. I will also be posting true stories of my interactions with spirits. I know that I have been given a special gift as I often have premonitions and dreams that come true. The picture below was taken this Christmas morning 2009 when family was together. This particular picture has many orbs, I counted about 13. As usual, it is on Holidays , Family gatherings, Birthdays, Vacations and Halloween that the orbs, spirits, angels and auras appear in my photographs. The energy is strong on happy occasions which attracts them.
This picture below was taken around the same time as the above one. However this one, shows colored streaks of energy going past the mirror. I was taking this picture at a slant from a sitting position. I found out that the red-orange colored streaks are rare and quite difficult to capture in pictures. They are spirits of very high energy. I do want to find out more about them. I will keep you posted.
When my daughter was visiting she brought me to a Halloween Parade in New York City. I had never heard of this parade before and it sounded right up my alley. I had to go as I knew there would be many energies around and I would be able to get some great photos. When we got there I was amazed at how many people were there dressed up, including us. It is the one night of the year that the dead get to walk the earth. This parade has been around for years and I am sure that there were many people that used to walk in the parade when they were alive. Now they were walking again. The next 11 photographs are all from the parade. There are blue ones, light blue, dark blue, silver, white and pink orbs in these photos.
On the above picture, there is a blue spirit orb on the guys pant leg and a bright yellow-orange, red aura to the right of him and to the far left of the picture is a red aura. You can tell that these are not reflections of any street lights. There are also red-orange colored streaks of light in the air which are high-energy spirits and I found out that it is quite rare to capture them on film. I intend on getting some more information on them and I will keep you posted.
I knew when I saw this particular character that there would be many spirit orbs surrounding him. I could feel his positive energy and it was strong, very overwhelming. He had his little dog in the baby stroller and his pet bird on his head and I believe that any one that has such a love for animals is a good person, which in turn will attract good spirits.
