Rosita Johanson at the Racine Art Museum
Rosita Johanson's minute narrative needlework are neatly aligned along gallery walls and glowing brightly in rainbow bright hues. The 20 works, from the 1990s through the 2000s, are on view at the Racine Aart Museum through Feb. 3.
The late Canadian artist was originally a dressmaker, the daughter of a tailor. She was born in Germany in 1937. She expressed her craft on canvas as well, stitching and appliqueing plush layers of fabric and using various other needlework techniques that she experimented with through the years. Johanson often employed loop pile embroidery, sewing shimmering beads, shells and various found items into her works. Loop pile creates a plush surface from tightly packed raised loops of yarn. It's also used to create carpeting, velvet and corduroy. »Read Full Blog Post

In David Ives' "Venus in Fur," the actress asking that question is ostensibly inquiring about how much of the script to read during her audition. But in a play where lines continually bend and double, Vanda Jordan is also wondering whether the man assessing her is willing to be honest about the meaning of his play, his desires and his life. »Read Full Article

Udinese has a game in hand. Sunday's home game with Cagliari was postponed. Play in Serie A resumes Jan. 6.

i would like to know why the gear shift handle on a newer model bus is angled at 45 degrees.. please answer this question thank u
BURLINGTON, N.J. — Arsenault Associates has developed Instant Recall, an exclusive new function of the company's Dossier asset maintenance management software.
Instant Recall automatically displays recent repair and maintenance history information on a panel that appears on the right side of the screen as soon as the vehicle's ID is selected when a new repair order is opened.
As more information is added to the repair order, Instant Recall automatically drills down into that vehicle's history to match the entered information. As a result, the technician or supervisor can very clearly see if the same kind of work has previously been performed on a vehicle and when, officials said.
He or she can also see the repair reasons and what parts were installed, and can also see a specific previously completed repair order or complete repair history.
"Every fleet maintenance manager knows that rework is the most expensive and time-consuming work any fleet maintenance shop can perform," said Charles Arsenault, CEO of Arsenault Associates. "A review of past maintenance histories can reduce rework and capture warranty dollars, but all too often that review is skipped."
That's because it takes valuable time to stop and perform a database search of repair orders for similar work, and then decide what details of past repair work to review, according to Arsenault.
Arsenault noted that Instant Recall uses VMRS (Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards) codes to make it easier for parts ordering, warranty recovery, defect reporting and other issues.

Hey guys not sure if I am posting this in the correct forum, if not I apologise!
I cannot seem to view the interactive tour of the travel classes on the QR website, it has never worked and doesn't seem to work for me on a couple of different computers,
Is it something simple and I'm an idiot (probably )
Or a problem with settings that has been over looked by QR IT thus not making it accessible to all?
Has anyone else had this problem at all?
I'm interestied in also how valuable these sites are percieved to be with regard to marketing, many Airlines lack sophistacated online displays of their product, how do you percieve this and their product?

This place was definitely an experience I'll remember. If you're ever lucky enough to check this place out, you're in for a treat! When you first pull up to the Magic Castle, the valet greets you and you wait in line to enter. I went on a Saturday with my wife and our brothers and sisters. The place opened at 5PM and we got there a little after that. I would recommend getting there on time or even earlier as it did get busy even though they just opened up. When we finally got in, there was a lobby and a really small gift shop. We paid for admittance and then said the magic words "open sesame" to enter. Our dinner wasn't til 6PM so we got drinks at the bar. They had a lounge with some parlor magic tricks going on but it got full. That's why I would recommend going as early as you can to get the most out of this place. DINNER: Dinner was surprisingly better than what I expected after reading the reviews on here. We got the truffle fries for appetizers. It was okay. Not the greatest. I ordered a 14oz steak. I can't remember the name but it was pretty delicious. The dinner was pretty pricey, but since this was a rare occasion I guess it was worth it. We were celebrating my birthday as well so they offered champagne or a slice of cheesecake to me. I got the cheesecake and it was pretty good and a nice addition to the meal. The service was really good and the food was better than expected. Because we ate dinner here, we got a ticket to the 8:30PM magic show. Since it was a busy weekend, at least we were guaranteed a seat. After dinner, we walked around to go see some of the different areas and shows. Because it was so busy and packed, the wait times were really long and you needed to be in line way in advance before the show even started. This was the only thing I didn't like was the wait and being so crowded. I thought it was a more exclusive place but it didn't seem like it from the inside. We got to watch a few magic shows and up close magic tricks. The shows were really good and an experience I'll never forget. If you ever get the chance to be invited here, make sure to come and experience this for yourself!

My friend and I were staying at the Downtown LA Sheraton as part of a large group participating in the Inaugural LA Rock 'N' Roll Half Marathon. We arrived at the hotel at about 1:30 pm, hoping for an early check-in, but more importantly hoping to arrange a late check-out the next day, as we were in the "back of the pack" and likely would not make it back before the 12 noon check-out. The first person we encountered at the front desk was polite and tried to help get us a 1pm checkout; however because our room was not ready yet, she could not make the change on the computer and suggested we come back at 3 and try again. The next person we encountered was, in a word, horrid. She explained, rather rudely, that all hotels have a standard 3pm check in and 12 pm check out. Um, really? And then she had the nerve to tell us "Well, your room isn't ready anyway, so you'll have to come back later." So it's OK for us to have our check-in delayed, but we couldn't check out late? Go figure. Furious but determined to make the best of our race weekend, my friend and I headed out to find a late lunch. Upon returning to the desk, we encountered yet another staff member at the desk - Gustave - and explained our situation again. At first he was concerned that there were no double rooms available - a pity because our accommodation arrangements had been made months in advance. At that point we were about to completely loose it, but Gustave saved the day. He made sure that we had the best accommodations available and granted our late checkout request, allowing us to completely enjoy our race day getaway. Our room was comfortable and clean, the beds slept well, and though short, we had a good overnight stay. I'd honestly have to say that while the hotel website boasts of a recent remodel, the room wasn't as nice as other hotels I've visited. However, because of the exemplary service we received, I had to throw in another star for good measure. Thank you Gustave for a wonderful stay!
I stayed at this Quality Inn for 1 night. Wednesday, April 1st 2015. I stopped by early afternoon to park my rental car and visit the Hollywood and Highland area. It really is not that far away by walking. And when the traffic is as heavy as it was, walking there is probably quicker. I arrived and did not notice the driveway at the front door off of La Brea. So I went around the corner on Lanewood Ave and parked in a spot that ended up facing my hotel room door. Check in was fast and I had my room key in no time. The room key doubles as the swipe card for the underground parking entrance gate. Located on Lanewood Ave. The underground parking area can be a bit tight if you had a larger vehicle. I had a small rental car and it was very manageable. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable. I had a king bed that was very comfortable and the pillow was above average for my comfort. The shower was clean and worked well. And the bathroom sink and counter area was clean. The tv worked fine. Wifi worked fine too. The room had a microwave and mini fridge. The traffic noise could be a bit bothersome to some, but I managed quite well wearing ear plugs. I felt secure enough in my room after seeing the locked gates and doors around the facility. I was quite comfortable. I did not use the pool or take advantage of the breakfast. The price I paid was very fair. If the price was right again on a future visit, I would certainly stay here again.

text: One man's garbage is another man's treasure, or so the old adage goes. Truer words have never been said when it comes to the newest trend in crafting. Upcycling is the process of taking something old, used or without a real use any longer and converting it to something fresh and, well, useful. Don't confuse upcycling with recycling. Recycling takes used materials, like plastic and paper goods, and breaks them down to be made into new products. Upcycling doesn't break anything down - it enhances the original piece sand repurposes it. I don't think there's a person among us who hasn't stuck pens and pencils in a cleaned out jar or used a shoebox to store pictures and personal effects. You were upcycling and didn't even know it!

Teixeira Returns To Yankees Lineup
NEW YORK (AP) ? Mark Teixeira is back in the New York Yankees' lineup against Seattle after missing two games with a sore left wrist.
The first baseman left Monday night's loss to Baltimore and was examined the following day by doctors. An MRI showed no structural damage, and Teixeira was diagnosed with inflammation. He received a cortisone shot.
The switch-hitting slugger was penciled into the cleanup spot Friday night after testing his wrist during batting practice. He wore a wrap on his wrist, but appeared to be comfortable taking swings.
Teixeira was batting .256 with 20 homers and a team-high 71 RBIs.

Les Murray's career has placed poetry at the centre of cultural debate in his country and has involved poetry in a contentious engagement with political discussions about the nature of the emerging postcolonial nation. His linguistic gifts – felt by some to be the greatest amongst contemporary poets the world over – his poetic exuberance, and his formal deftness, have also meant that Murray has become an increasingly significant figure beyond Australia.

Top 10 Best Pheromones
3 Sep 2013 - 9:13am
1126 reads
pheromones is a lot more that just fixing your hair or swiping some makeup on your face. It is truly an art form. It has so many techniques and products that require a keen eye, precisions and a sharp attention to detail. Do you have what it takes? Regardless of your answer, here are some tips to help you. Purchase an eyelash curler. When you curl your eyelashes, they will look fabulous. Curling eyelashes brightens and enlarges the eyes. You can even find heated eyelash curlers that give you longer lasting curls. Apply eye shadow to seal in eyeliner. When you are making up your eyes, apply your liner before your eye shadow. Then, when applying the shadow, slightly dampen a cotton swab and add some eye shadow. Smooth this over the liner and you will find it lasts much longer. Even hair color and style can be altered to make fuller faces look narrower and slimmer. Long, straight lines cut to mid-neck work best. You can even add lowlights and highlights that help frame the face. This is a good thing and you will focus on your positive features. Emphasize the sharpness of your cheekbones by applying a shade of powder blush that is one shade deeper than your normal cheek color product. Using a blush brush, dab on a spot of the powder in the hollows of your cheeks just under the cheekbones. Remove excess powder, then blend in a circular motion. Add shimmer eye shadow to your pheromones regiment. The shiny effect you get when you wear glittery shadow will make your eyes appear brighter and bigger. You should choose from shades that shimmer in a shade close to your own skin tone. It's fun to try new colors as well as different ways to wear them. You'll love the new looks that you come up with. In order to make your teeth look whiter, use lipstick with cool, blue undertones. Lipsticks with warm, orange-based undertones accentuate the natural yellow color of your teeth, making them look yellower. Lipsticks with cool, blue-based undertones, on the other hand, will make your teeth look whiter. For the greatest impact, choose a bright red lipstick with blue undertones. To make red lipstick last longer, apply powder and lip liner to your lips before applying the lipstick. First, powder your lips with your usual face powder. Next, draw a line around your lips and fill them in with a red lip liner. Finally, apply the red lipstick on top of the powder and liner, blotting with a tissue to remove any excess lipstick. Put on lip balm every day. Lip balm is an essential ingredient in keeping your lips beautiful. You should apply it to your lips at night when you go to bed, and in the morning before you put any lipstick or gloss on your lips. Your lips will stay looking younger and fuller. If you want the skin around your eyes to look beautiful and ageless, it is crucial that you take the necessary steps to avoid premature aging. Make sure to apply an eye gel serum, or light cream every morning. Apply your eye cream after moisturizing. Make sure you select an eye cream that contains at least an SPF8 so that you will protect against sun damage and photo-aging. Open the pores on your face by steaming your face often. It can be done quite easily by filling a bowl with hot water and holding your face over the bowl with a towel over your head. It will open the pores, draw out deep dirt and debris and make your skin glow. Splash your face with cold water directly after to close the pores back up. If you haven't taken care of your physical appearance for a long time, don't be scared off by the amount of work it takes to improve it. Although the initial time investment might be high it is much easier to maintain a good appearance than to initially create it. If you feel as though you are having one off day you shouldn't fret. There are some aspects that are out of your control which will affect your daily appearance. One of the biggest variables is the weather and a humid day can wreck havoc on someone, especially a woman who has larger hair. Smooth lotion over hair to reduce the static. If you find yourself out with nothing to use, grab the hand lotion you keep in your purse. Take a little bit and rub the palm of your hands together slightly, then run through your hair. This is a quick and easy fix. For an inexpensive, spa-like facial just lean yourself over a bowl of steaming hot water! Cover or wrap up your hair, fill any container with really hot water and allow the steam to open and clear your pores! It is soothing and stimulating and very cost effective. Follow up with cold water to close and refresh pores, then add moisturizer! To cover up a zit at the last minute, use a product containing cortisone or benzoyl peroxide. Apply the product to a cotton ball, and gently dab it on your pimple. This will bring down the redness and shrink the zit. This will allow you to easily hide the pimple with concealer. If you are worried about looking like a raccoon after applying your eyeliner, then there are ways to prevent that. You could try using a small stiff brush to apply cream eyeliner between the roots of the lashes. You could also try a shorter pencil eyeliner that has a cone-shaped tip as this gives you more control where you want the liner to go. You can do much to enhance your pheromones plan by treating yourself with an appointment at a day spa. It is good for the mind, relieving stress, but can do wonders for the body, loosening those tight muscles. A spa is a great well to not only make your skin look better, but make your entire body feel good too. Homemade facial masks are a great way to treat yourself to a facial without the cost and bother of going to a spa. You can make a mask out of an egg. Use the egg white as your facial mask. Put it on and leave it there for about five minutes. Then, you need to rinse it off. Egg whites add protein that will retain skin moisture. As you already read, pheromones can be fun and interesting for anyone. All you need is a bit of know how so that you will be more beautiful every day. Use the tips you've learned here to become the most beautiful version of yourself. In case you loved this short article and you would like to receive more info concerning

Facebook Like Fraud 0 commentsFeb 11, 2014 11:42 AM | about stocks: FB
Last night I watched this video by Veritasium on Facebook Fraud. It is pretty eye opening. I had recently run a like campaign for one of my new ventures www.stockmarketshirts.com and it appears all of the likes I received came from click farms, only one person has engaged with my page.
On average the people that liked my page had an additional 2000+ likes. This is absurd, no one likes this many things. I have been a user since 2004 and only have 67 likes.
I will be filling with Facebook Support for a refund and will keep y'all posted on any outcome.
Here is the complete list of people, location and number of likes each page had. The campaign cost me $25 to run.

Telling a compelling story online is much like creating a good TED Talk.
You need to find the sparks of emotion and passion for a topic and nurture them.
Events such as TED and TEDx can also teach us some very valuable, practical lessons about transmedia storytelling (sharing a story or experience, typically collectively, across a variety of networks and devices).
I was fortunate to serve as the social media strategist for last September's TEDxABQ – a day long event sharing ideas, telling stories, and inspiring people to look towards New Mexico's future. It was the peak of a nine-month climb of planning, studying, adjusting, and planning again on how to share those stories with our online audience (both inside and outside of the University of New Mexico's Popejoy Hall).
I've enjoyed being part of the Spin Sucks community so much throughout the years that this seemed like the perfect forum for sharing my TEDx experience and lessons learned.
I wrote this in part to give back, and in part to initiate further dialogue about the transmedia challenges and opportunities of digital storytelling.
The TEDxABQ Transmedia Plan
Our goal for the TEDxABQ event day was to create a "Very-Very Important Person" event exclusively for our digital audience. This included some of the people who were in the TEDxABQ audience who were using their smartphone or tablet as a second screen to the event, as well as those around the world.
We wanted to create a unique digital experience.
We drew inspiration from the behind-the-scenes coverage of many of the big events we see on TV (i.e. Super Bowl, Oscars, World Cup) as the theme for our cross-media effort . More importantly, we looked at the growing number of fans who would interact with each other through social media (a.k.a the "second screen" effect of social interaction).
This is where it's important to bring the mindset of a media professional to your social media work. You're not creating news releases; you're creating engaging, cross-platform stories that answer the question, "Why should I care?"
How do you do that?
The Tools of the Trade
Each social media platform has its own strengths and weaknesses in how people engage with its content. We tried to keep this in mind as we prepared for the TEDxABQ event day.
The vision of TED is "ideas worth sharing," and we wanted to use the "second screen" concept to further our speakers' ideas to our audience.
Twitter helped greatly with this. We used it to provide the moment-to-moment updates of what was happening on stage.
TEDxABQ fans were already discussing our speakers' topics in real time. We would share many of their comments, which amplified their message with others in our audience who might otherwise have missed out on their ideas.
While Twitter was our "in the moment" network, we used Facebook more sparingly to introduce our speakers, share some images, and touch on the more important issues brought up during the event and engage with our audience.
We included a call-to-action for people to follow the discussion on Twitter at our #TEDxABQ hashtag.
As many people discuss these days, visuals are increasingly important to cross-platform storytelling. A picture does indeed tell a thousand words. For TEDxABQ, Instagram and Flickr were our weapons of choice.
Flickr served as our main digital asset storage. Almost all of the images created by our professional photography team were uploaded to Flickr a few days after the big event.
But this didn't address our "in the moment" needs. In order to show our online audience what was going on, we needed a way to provide images to them in real time.
Instagram provided us that opportunity to give our fans a glimpse of what happened during our event as well as in the audience events during our breaks.
As for video, TEDx events provide a livestream for those fans who are unable to attend.
It's accompanied by a live chat, which allows viewers to watch and take part in their own virtual event (again, creating that "Very-VIP" digital event).
In addition to the livestream, we set aside a video interview area in the backstage area. As soon as speakers finished their talks, we recorded an interview asking them how they felt after speaking, what they learned in their time preparing, and if they enjoyed their time with TEDxABQ.
Many of these videos didn't make it online in real-time, as I had hoped, but we still have them as digital assets for later TEDxABQ projects.
So, what in the heck did we learn?
Goals and Objectives
Social media is still a part of a good communications strategy.
Look at the business and communication goals and objectives and ask how you can create a strategy and tactics to promote a message supporting those goals across a variety of platforms.
Stories Connect People
What compelling stories does your organization have? How can you tell that story across a number of platforms?
For TEDxABQ, our story focused on the amazing ideas being shared by New Mexicans, and we were able to share that story in 140-character bursts, punctuated with images to keep our audience interested.
"Behind the Scenes"
What's going on that people might be interested in, but not have access to?
What cool stories are taking place out of earshot of the target audience?
Everyone has a story to share, as communicators it's our job to find the intersection of passion, interest, and relevance that many great stories have.
Stay Visually Focused
Quality images are so important for an event such as TEDxABQ, where many audience members are participating in the online event on their smartphones and tablets.
One of the lessons we learned in 2013 was to not depend on iPhone photos, but invest time and practice on better cameras for the social media team.
One of the biggest reasons that TEDxABQ2013's social media coverage was a success was that our team was excited to try new ideas to extend our story beyond what people were seeing on the stage. We also gave those who could not attend an opportunity to be part of our event, strengthening their ties to our community.
The Future of a City
One of the biggest reasons the social media coverage at TEDxABQ was a success was that our team was excited to try new ideas to extend our story beyond what people were seeing on the stage.
We also gave those who could not attend an opportunity to be part of our event, strengthening their ties to our community.
Because of this work, many of them are still connected to us today, and have shared their own experiences and strengthened the idea that events like TEDxABQ have a part to play in creating Albuquerque's future.

18 Comments on "How TEDxABQ Used Storytelling and Transmedia Planning"
I agree with your tip about quality photography. When I did my blogger trip with Unbound in June, we bloggers took plenty of iPhone shots (and shared them) but having professionals taking their own high quality pictures (and the fact that they weren't simultaneously trying to interview people) has given us a lot more options for our follow up posts. It was worth the planning and resource usage to have those quality images.
biggreenpen I agree – a company I used to work for had a big annual user's conference, and it made such a difference to be able to share both user-generated type photos as well as professional photos. Every morning at breakfast we'd run a slideshow of photos from the day before – people loved it. And it also helped encourage them to go find the photos on Facebook and tag themselves and their friends. 🙂
I commented about this above, but I really love this: "Everyone has a story to share, as communicators it's our job to find the intersection of passion, interest, and relevance that many great stories have." I'll also add: The ability to do so is one reason I think good journalists so often make the transition to PR/comms/marketing so well.
biggreenpen I agree too. The thing is some communicators write really well. Some are excellent photographers or videographers. Others are terrific at drawing, illustration or graphic design. But to master multiples of these disciplines? Tough.
That's a great point, Eleanor! Journalists do have an ability to find those stories that might often be overlooked (saying this as a former second-generation news person). 🙂
I agree as well! It helps to have those resources lined up in advance and available if you need them. iPhone pictures are OK, especially in a pinch, but we're hoping to provide better images during this year's event with some EyeFi cards and a photographer dedicated to social media. Our version of the AP photo coverage for this year's Olympic Games. 🙂
That's very true, Clay. I'm dedicating time to learning to be a better photographer, but it's good to know your limits and plan around them. For instance, I couldn't draw a square if you spotted me all four sides and three of the angles, so I'm not the graphic design droid you're looking for. 😉
bensonhendrix Former news people!!! UNITE!!!!! 🙂 This is an awesome piece, Benson, almost too much greatness to pick only one or two things to comment on. But trying to stay away from stock images (especially as sooooo many of them are terrible!) is something I espouse as well. It's so easy now to take a snap with your smartphone, add a filter or frame, adjust the contrast, and end up with a great image.
What a great breakdown! What I love most is you had a very clear goal for each medium you used. That's such an important aspect of an integrated plan, but too often people start using a tool without really thinking about why and how that tool in particular can help achieve the overall goal.
LauraPetrolino Very true! So many people want to jump to the fun stuff (and can we blame them in social media? 😉 ) without looking at the end goal and then wonders why they can't figure out if it worked.
belllindsay bensonhendrix Oh yeah, I'm with you on the stock photo issue! If push comes to shove I try to take my own photos for "stock" postings, so at least they still provide something unique or connected to the post. I mean, how many photos of businessmen jumping in the air with their fist thrust up do we really need? 😉
All of this talk about Albuquerque is making me want Mexican food. You have, hands down, the best Mexican food I have ever had there. Sorry. It's cycling season and I have a one track mind. EAT ALL THE THINGS!
ginidietrich Well if you're ever out here I'll have to take you to some of my favorite places. Ann Marie van den Hurk wrote about a couple of them when she was out here 🙂 http://www.wellwornapron.com/2013/06/uniqueness-of-new-mexican-cuisine.html
bensonhendrix ginidietrich +1, and I know a couple of pretty good rides that start and end with serious eats = )
bensonhendrix LauraPetrolino Agree w/Laura, nice breakdown of the mediums. I think if we are being realistic a good percentage of people doing social media / channel strategy don't take the time to asses each of their constraints and strengths.
bensonhendrix HAHAHAHA! Or those horrible, faceless, white "bubble men" pointing at arrows or holding up signs. Kill me NOW! 😉

Stopping the run
The Lions have struggled against the run at times this year, including allowing a 100-yard rusher in each of the last two contests.
During Wednesday morning's practice session, the Lions focused on stopping the run during individual position drills – primarily in the back-seven.
Part of the drills may have been to correct previous mistakes but more importantly, the team is preparing for running back Michael Turner, who has a strong combination of speed and powerful downhill running.
"Michael Turner is one of the best in the league," said Chris Houston, who played one season with Turner in Atlanta. "Atlanta's plan is to pound the ball and then go over the top for touchdowns and go deep."
Getting in a rhythm
The Detroit Lions' offense is coming off of their worst offensive performance of the season, scoring only 19 points against the San Francisco 49ers.
The poor performance followed three contests where the offense got off to less-than-desirable starts.
The slow starts were particularly evident in matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings, when the team scampered to double-digit, first-half deficits.
Wide receiver Nate Burleson feels like there is a solution – establishing a rhythm.
"It's about getting the rhythm in the passing game because it's one of our strengths," said Burleson. "Getting Calvin started early and everyone else just complement him."
He even offered an analogy to his point.
"I kind of relate our offense to a really good shooting guard," said Burleson. "We got to get the ball in the hoop early and the rhythm will carry you throughout four quarters. So for us, we have to get the ball in the playmaker's hands, move the chains and get that adrenaline going and continue that for four quarters."
No Excuses
The NFL has admitted to incorrectly spotting the ball on Ted Ginn Jr.'s punt return directly proceeding the San Francisco 49ers game winning drive against the Lions, according to an article by NBC Sports.
The ball was spotted incorrectly by five yards, in the 49ers favor. They eventually scored the game-winning touchdown – by inches – on a fourth-down play.
Head coach Jim Schwartz was asked if he had anyone that watches out for that kind of thing.
"Yeah, the officials," he responded.
Still, no one on the team – including Schwartz – was making excuses for the loss.
"Yeah, it's an unfortunate thing," said Schwartz. "They do their very best, but obviously sometimes things happen… I don't think it affected the outcome of the game; we were still fourth-and-5 with a chance to stop them and we grind out most of the rest of the clock, and have a chance to finish that game, and we didn't get that done."

I have to say plasma because actually got their major plans in full swing. galactic was stopped by the player or by garatina before anything really happened. worst they did was blow up a lake
plasma froze a city, attempted to kill the player, their leader used a human life solely for his goal for 18 some years.

Camp Crane
|Camp Crane
|Ambulance Station 555
|Part of Training Headquarters of the USAACS. United States Army Ambulance Corps, World War I
|Allentown, Pennsylvania
Training exercise at Camp Crane in front of the Allentown Fairgrounds Grandstand. Offices located in the Grandstand became both the headquarters of Camp Crane as well as the USAAS.
|Site history
|In use
|17 May 1917-10 April 1919
Camp Crane was a World War I United States Army Ambulance Service (USAAS) training camp, located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Its mission was to train ambulance drivers to evacuate casualties on the Western Front in France. It was named for Brigadier General Charles Henry Crane, surgeon general of the Army in 1882-83.
Today, the location of Camp Crane is used as the Allentown Fairgrounds
When the United States entered World War I, the status of American volunteers in Europe became uncertain because they now had a U.S. military obligation to fulfill. France, fearing the loss of ambulance volunteers, requested that the United States ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the vital service. U.S. leaders thus agreed to incorporate American volunteer ambulance units into the American Army and to continue their service at the front with the French.[1]
The Army organized a new ambulance corps for that purpose. War Department General Orders No. 75, which established the U.S. Army Ambulance Service (USAAS), was issued on 23 June 1917.[1] However, even before that, beginning in mid-May, rumors of the Army being interested in establishing a training camp at the Allentown, Pennsylvania Fairgrounds began to circulate. The fairgrounds was established in 1889 by the Lehigh County Agricultural Society (LCAS) as a site to hold its annual fair and operated a farmer's market inside a large grandstand, built in 1908. The property, about 50 acres in size, also had a small horse racing track, stables and several exhibition halls.[2]
The LCAS and representatives of the United States Army concluded an agreement for the Army to lease the fairgrounds, and as a result of that agreement, an announcement was made by the LCAS that the Allentown Fair would be cancelled in 1917.[3] The Army assigned the fairgrounds to the USAAS and designated the site Camp Crane. It was named for Brigadier General Charles H. Crane, surgeon general from 1882 to 1883. Its mission was to train recruits as ambulance drivers, mechanics, orderlies and the other skills they would need on the Western Front. The also became the site of the USAAS headquarters.[1]
Unlike other Army camps which generally were located nearby, but outsides of towns and cities. Camp Crane was located in a city, although the West End of Allentown at the time was sparsely populated.[4]
Recruits began to arrive on 1 June. They were billeted in available fairgrounds buildings, including horse barns, pig pens, and horse cooling sheds. A large mess hall was established under the Fairgrounds Grandstands.[1] The fairgrounds itself, a dirt and grass field, became a large tent city, with tents being erected for the recruits to live in. At the same time Camp Crane became the home of over eighty doctors and other members of three temporary field hospitals that used Allentown as a staging area. Nurses were housed in the nearby Nurses College of Allentown Hospital. Evacuation hospital units and mobile hospital and surgical units were also to come to Allentown to prepare for wartime duty in Europe.[3]
According to the camp's commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Slee, the camp was originally only intended to house approximately 2,500 men. Before the camp was brought up to full speed, however, that number had increased to 4,500 and then to 7,500. As a result of the large numbers of men occupying such a small space, housing was an acute problem.[4] Several additional buildings were constructed at the western end of the fairgrounds beginning in July 1917, and several others were built on the eastern end to relieve the overcrowding.[3]
Despite such makeshift quarters, the USAAS attracted the adventurous by offering the promise of quick and certain action in Europe. By 19 June 1917, over thirteen hundred volunteers were in training at Camp Crane; a week later, the number stood at thirty-three hundred. In all, 20,310 volunteers (2,085 officers and 18,225 enlisted) trained at Camp Crane between 1 June 1917 and 10 April 1919.[1]
In September 1917, the USAAS was joined by 150 gas mask instructors. They established a separate school for training gas mask instructors who would instruct soldiers about using the masks in France.[3]
Volunteers came from Army recruiting stations, predecessor volunteer ambulance units, and a variety of institutions and industrial organizations. Sponsors of USAAS sections included over forty universities and colleges. Harvard University, which had led in the number of volunteers for the American Field Service, set another record by providing three USAAS sections. Other sponsors included corporations, cities, and sports groups.[1]
The trainees were an exceptional group. Volunteers for the Army Ambulance Service were generally conscientious objectors, who did not want to serve in combat units. As such, many of them were undergraduate college students planning a medical career. The Ambulance Service was a way for them to satisfy their draft obligation and also for those men who wanted to support the war effort, but not to serve directly in combat. Many volunteers were medical students who wanted to do their part for the war effort. Fifteen All-American college football players among them became the nucleus of a team that played a winning season against a lineup that included Georgetown University, Penn State, and Fordham, a few of which would later play in the early National Football League teams of the 1920s. The camp band also attracted premier musical talent, also drawn from college bands and music schools around the country. John Philip Sousa was among the guest conductors. Lt. Col. Clarence P. Franklin, MC, who succeeded Colonel Persons as the camp commander, convinced Sousa to write a march for the Army Ambulance "Corps," and the famous composer copyrighted the "USAAC March" in 1919.[1] The USAAC Band participated in several concerts and parades in the Allentown area, as well as bond drives to support the war effort.
Many writers also served in the USAAC. Their transition into the life of a soldier was recorded in letters, diaries, and literature. In 1917 John Dos Passos returned from service in France with Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps to find a draft notice awaiting him. Deciding to volunteer for the USAAS, he reported to Camp Crane. He later wrote of his "captivity" at "Syphilis Valley" where he said he had washed over a million windows. His novel Three Soldiers was based on his experiences there and featured characters he encountered in training at Camp Crane and later during his service in France.[1] Other notable members of the USAAC who trained at Camp Crane were Ernest Hemingway, Harry Crosby, Ray Kroc, William A. Wellman, and Frank Buckles, whom became the last American World War I veteran.
Those who had volunteered to go "over there" were frustrated when the Army did not quickly ship them to Europe and became bored with repetitive tasks, such as marching day after day.[1] An auxiliary camp was established in August 1917 at Kern's Mill, about eight miles north of Allentown, and at Belzwood, five miles west of Norristown to take the overflow from Camp Crane. To provide even more space, in November a site was set up in-between Heilerman's Crossing and Guth's Station as if they were in trenches in France. Known as Guth Station, the trainees established an underground city, digging in about eight feet deep into the fields and erecting small shacks where they installed small stoves.[3] The recruits found living in the mud and dirt trenches there to be particularly vexsome, but it was a good simulation of what they would find on the Western Front.[1]
For recreation, Camp Crane established football, tennis and track teams. The city of Allentown established a "Big Brother" program to work with young men in Allentown. Also the local YMCA provided phonographs, books and magazines. People invited recruits into their private homes for evenings away from the Camp, and local establishments held dances and other social outings.[3]
In time Camp Crane graduates did make it "over there." The first contingent (Section) arrived in France on 21 August 1917, commanded by Colonel Jones, who left Camp Crane to head up the USAAS in France from headquarters in Paris.[1] On 26 September, the commander in chief, A. E. F., requested that an additional 10 sections be sent to France as soon as possible, in addition to the 20 sections already there, plus 300 unassigned recruits.[5] Each section was composed of approximately "45 men, 20 Ford M1917 ambulances, 1 Ford touring car, 1 truck, and a kitchen trailer".[6]
Additional sections were deployed to France and also Italy from Camp Crane as they graduated. On 26 August 1918, the commanding officer at Camp Crane reported that 82 sections had been sent overseas and 8 had been disbanded, but that 31 sections were being organized and motor transport for them secured. The last contingent was sent to France on 2 November 1918. A total of 95 separate Sections were trained in Allentown and deployed to France; 22 were sent to Italy.[5]
Camp Crane also became a pre-embarkation camp in 1918, with thousands of men moving in and out rapidly, usually arriving and leaving on trains in the middle of the night with convoys of trucks rolling though the city to the fairgrounds.[3]
With the Armistice with Germany announced on 11 November 1918, a massive parade was held, and several hundred of the recruits being trained at Camp Crane marched though the city. Afterwards training ended and the recruits began to leave for home. During the winter of 1918-1919 Army activities at Camp Crane began to wind down, and preparations began to close the camp and return it to the LCAS. Flags at Camp Crane were taken down for the last time in a ceremony held at noon on 10 April 1919 and the fairgrounds was turned back over to the Agricultural society.[7] The men of the USAAC that had gone to France and Italy had hoped to be able to be demobilized in Allentown, but by the time of their return it was closed.[3]
The Army had made significant changes to the fairgrounds. A large steam-heating plant was installed with steam pipes dug throughout the farigrounds which equipped all the buildings for heat. A large amusement hall with bowling alleys with a large library and a cinema was built. Numerous buildings for classes and barracks were also erected.[7]
The buildings erected by the Army were mostly sold off and either moved to new locations or dismantled and used for wood to build new buildings.[3] Over $120,000 worth of iron and steel from the buildings, along with the heating, piping, and other components were taken apart and sold off. In addition, huge piles of coal were left with over 4,000 tons that needed to be taken away.[7] However, by the end of August 1919, nearly all physical evidence of Camp Crane was gone, and the 1919 Allentown Fair was held at the site.[3]
In 1927, a stone monument to the men who trained at Camp Crane was erected at the Allentown Fairgrounds. In the 1960s it was moved to Allentown's West Park, a few blocks away.[8] Another memorial can be found on the wall of the fairgrounds grandstand, near the ticket office which was placed there in 1972.[3]
