Demolition Dash adds Endless Run mode
Dreamfab has released an update to Demolition Dash adding two new game modes, improved game stats and OpenFeint support as well as adding iPhone and iPod touch support to the iPad HD version. Demolition Dash is a platform game where players take on the role of the tiny monster Zilla and travel through eight famous cities annihilating everything in their path while avoiding dangerous obstacles. Version 2.0 adds a new Endless Run mode where players can now run through the cities from the World Rampage game in a dynamically generated random order; the new mode provides improved replayability by providing a different game with new challenges each time. In Endless Run players must also avoid making mistakes in a city which will in turn cause Zilla to lose a piece of his tail reducing the players score and eventually ending the game.
The latest update also adds a new Training Mode providing a more casual gaming experience for beginners and adds more detailed statistics with an improved overview of the player's achievements. OpenFeint support has also been added in addition to the existing Game Center support for tracking leaderboards and achievements. Version 2.0 also adds support for French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian languages and includes numerous usability improvements and bug fixes. Demolition Dash requires and iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, third- or fourth-generation iPod touch or an iPad and is available from the App Store in two different versions: Demolition Dash ($1) for the iPhone and iPod touch and Demolition Dash HD ($2), now a universal app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
AT&T to crack down on jailbreak tethering
AT&T is finally preparing to crack down on iPhone users who take advantage of jailbreak tethering solutions to avoid paying for the feature. 9 to 5 Mac reports that as of August 11, any iPhone user who uses such a solution to tether their phone and has previously received a notice from AT&T regarding their use will automatically be switched from their current plan—including grandfathered unlimited plans—and onto the 2GB/$25 plan, and will have the $20 2GB tethering option added. Users who stop tethering before the date will apparently be able to keep their current plan. AT&T confirmed similar plans in March of this year, but apparently had yet to act upon them.

OmniVision announces new 8MP smartphone camera sensor
OmniVision, a supplier of camera modules for Apple's iOS devices, has announced its new OV8850 eight-megapixel sensor suitable for use in a future iPhone or similar device. The new sensor is said to enable modules that are 20 percent slimmer than any 8-megapixel module in commercial use today, and offers "a 20 percent improvement in peak quantum efficiency in all color channels, a 35 percent improvement in low-light sensitivity and a 45 percent increase in full-well capacity in an extremely compact and power efficient package," according to OmniVision product manager Per Rosdahl. The new sensor also offers an on-chip temperature sensor, alternate row exposure for HDR capabilities, and full field of view 1080p video recording. Notably, the sensor fits in an 8.5mm x 8.5mm autofocus module with a build height of 4.7mm; the module inside the iPhone 4 is 6.5mm, as noted by Mac Rumors. OmniVision says the new sensor will begin sampling in August and is expected to go into mass production in the first calendar quarter of 2012, making it highly unlikely that it will appear in the next-generation iPhone, despite prior reports indicating that it will feature an eight-megapixel camera.

Pegatron to start shipping iPhone 5 units next month?
Taiwan-based Pegatron Technologies has been tapped as a second manufacturing partner for the next-generation iPhone and will begin shipping units next month, according to a new report. Citing industry sources, DigiTimes reports that Apple has ordered 10 million "iPhone 5" units from Pegatron, with shipments to begin in September. The report goes on to state that Pegatron is aiming to complete orders for iPads, MacBook Airs, and other Apple products, and has increased its production capacity and workforce as a result. Notably, a report from earlier this week claimed that the next-generation iPhone would not be launched until October.
Google exec pens open letter on 'hostile' campaign against Android
David Drummond, Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer for Google, has posted an open letter in which he accuses Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and others of waging "a hostile, organized campaign against Android" using what he calls "bogus" patents. "They're doing this by banding together to acquire Novell's old patents (the "CPTN" group including Microsoft and Apple) and Nortel's old patents (the "Rockstar" group including Microsoft and Apple), to make sure Google didn't get them; seeking $15 licensing fees for every Android device; attempting to make it more expensive for phone manufacturers to license Android (which we provide free of charge) than Windows Phone 7; and even suing Barnes & Noble, HTC, Motorola, and Samsung. Patents were meant to encourage innovation, but lately they are being used as a weapon to stop it," he writes.
"This anti-competitive strategy is also escalating the cost of patents way beyond what they're really worth," Drummond continues. "The winning $4.5 billion for Nortel's patent portfolio was nearly five times larger than the pre-auction estimate of $1 billion. Fortunately, the law frowns on the accumulation of dubious patents for anti-competitive means — which means these deals are likely to draw regulatory scrutiny, and this patent bubble will pop."
Following the publication of Drummond's post, Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith stated on Twitter that Microsoft asked Google to bid jointly for the Nortel patents, and that they said no, a claim corroborated by screenshot of an email to Smith from Google General Counsel Kent Walker stating as much, which was published online by Frank X. Shaw of Microsoft. Notably, Google attempted to purchase the Nortel patents on its own, despite its inference that they are of a "dubious" nature; Apple has yet to respond on the issue.
Vonage releases Pay-Per-Call International VoIP app
Internet telephony provider Vonage has released Time to Call, a new iOS application allowing users to place short international calls at flat, per-call rates. Vonage Time to Call allows users to make individual calls of up to 15 minutes in duration for a fixed price for each call rather than a per-minute price. Calls are purchased directly from within the application via an in-app purchase linked to the user's iTunes Store account with per-call prices ranging from $1-10 depending on the destination, with the majority of countries being priced in the $1-2 range. Users simply select the country they wish to call and are then prompted to make an in-app purchase via the iTunes Store for the required per-call price; once the call has been purchased, the user can then dial the number from either the iOS address book or simply by entering it directly.
Unlike direct international calls to many countries, the same per-call rates apply when using Time to Call regardless of whether the user is calling a landline or mobile phone. Vonage Time to Call can be used over a Wi-Fi connection from any country or via a 3G wireless connection in the U.S. and Canada. No Vonage subscription is required; users simply use the iTunes in-app purchasing system to pay for calls as needed. Vonage Time to Call is available from the App Store as a free download; the app currently includes one free call of up to 15 minutes to any one of 100 countries.

Apple fined in South Korea over location data collection
Apple has been fined by the Korea Communications Commission over the iPhone location tracking issue that arose earlier this year. Reuters reports that Apple's South Korean unit was fined 3 million won, or roughly $2,855, due to the fact that iPhones were, according to Apple, "maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around [the user's] current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from [the user's] iPhone, to help [the user's] iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested." When the file containing the database was initially discovered, it set off a wave of speculation that Apple was secretly tracking the locations of its users, something the company expressly denied in its subsequent Q & A document.
Twitter launches improved web interface for iPad
Twitter has announced that it has launched a new HTML5-based web interface for the iPad, and will be rolling it out soon. "We've launched our HTML5 version of twitter.com for iPad," reads an update on Twitter Mobile's account. "It will be rolling out to device owners over the next week or so." Citing Twitter mobile engineer Manuel Deschamps, TechCrunch reports that the new interface was based on Twitter's HTML5 client for iPhone and Android. "The HTML5 app provides a great option for people who prefer to use the browser over native apps," said Twitter representative Carolyn Penner. "Its two-column view is consistent with the Twitter experience you're used to (on Twitter.com), and it takes advantage of touch gestures and other device capabilities." The new interface will be accessible by loading twitter.com from the Safari browser on the iPad.

Students present at Capstone Conference
Posted on December 12, 2012
More than 60 senior English majors presented their undergraduate theses Friday, December 7, in Kirkhof Center, during the English 495 Capstone Conference. This culminating event for the course required that students publicly present a project that they have been responsible for shaping from its inception to its final form.
The presentations demonstrated the expertise that students have accrued in the research process and allowed them to speak as authorities about their topic. This final assignment of the course is the one that perhaps most clearly transitions students out of the major and into the next phase of their lives.

Study Design. Subgroup analysis of a prospective multicenter study.
Objective. Outcome analysis of nonoperatively treated elderly patients with type II odontoid fractures, including assessment of consequence of a fracture nonunion.
Summary of Background Data. Odontoid fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, and controversy exists regarding treatment.
Methods. Subgroup analysis of a prospective multicenter study of elderly patients (≥65 yr) with type II odontoid fracture. Neck Disability Index and Short-Form 36 (SF-36) version 2 were collected at baseline and 6 and 12 months. Fifty-eight (36.5%) of the 159 patients were treated nonoperatively.
Results. Of the 58 patients initially treated nonoperatively, 8 died within 90 days and were excluded. Of the remaining 50 patients, 11 (22.0%) developed nonunion, with 7 (63.6%) requiring surgery. Four of the 39 (10.3%) patients classified as having "successful union" required surgery due to late fracture displacement. Thus, 15 (30.0%) patients developed primary or secondary nonunion and 11 (22.0%) required surgery. The overall 12-month mortality was 14.0% (nonunion = 2, union = 5; P= 0.6407). For union and nonunion groups, Neck Disability Index and SF-36 version 2 declined significantly at 12 months compared with preinjury values (P< 0.05), except for SF-36 version 2 Physical Functioning (P= 0.1370). There were no significant differences in outcome parameters based on union status at 12 months (P> 0.05); however, it is important to emphasize that the 12-month outcomes for the nonunion patients reflect the status of the patient after delayed surgical treatment in the majority of these cases.
Conclusion. Nonoperative treatment for type II odontoid fracture in the elderly has high rates of nonunion and mortality. Patients with nonunion did not report worse outcomes compared with those who achieved union at 12 months; however, the majority of patients with nonunion required delayed surgical treatment. These findings may prove useful for patients who are not surgical candidates or elect for nonoperative treatment.

Tom Collier - Across The Bridge
On November 20th (2015), the second of three Tom Collier recording projects partially funded by a University of Washington Royalty Research Grant was released to the world on Seattle's award-winning jazz label, Origin Records. The title of the album, Across The Bridge, refers to a certain span across the Duwamish Waterway connecting downtown Seattle to West Seattle where Collier spent most of his youth. The CD's nine original compositions and their titles were inspired by childhood places and memories, mostly shared by album's producer and electric bassist Dan Dean who lived across the street from Tom ("Harmonious Effusion On Olga Street"). Other compositions on the album pay homage to his first neighborhood ("47th 'N' Hudson"), early schoolyard friends (Genesee), high school memories ("Gold 'N' Blues"), after school haunts ("Beach Drive" and "The Junction"), favorite theater ("The Admiral's Point Of View"), and even typical early morning West Seattle weather ("Fauntleroy Mist").
In it's second week of release, Across The Bridge reached number 50 on the JazzWeek radio airplay chart and had the most added radio stations during the the same week of November 23rd. Since then the album has had consistent radio airplay on more than forty jazz radio stations across the US and Canada as well as several European stations. Very favorable reviews are beginning to appear in various publications including a 3 & 1/2 star review in Downbeat Magazine (see Press/Reviews page).
In addition to producer and electric bassist Dan Dean (who also overdubbed several guitar parts), Across The Bridge features two world-class electric guitarists, Larry Coryell and Bill Frisell, both of whom have strong ties to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Coryell who once played with the legendary 1960's Seattle rock band The Dynamics, forged an impressive career as one of the founding fathers of contemporary jazz/rock and fusion playing and recording with the likes of Gary Burton, John McLaughlin, Charles Mingus, and dozens of other jazz greats. Bill Frisell has also become a leading voice in jazz with many of his own eclectic albums featuring such luminaries as Elvin Jones, Dave Holland, Lyle Mays, Ron Carter, and many more. Two fabulous drummers also stand out on the album, Ted Poor and John Bishop.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays for one reason – you can eat candy all day and no one will judge you. In light of the holiday, here are few ways to scare away media contacts.
- Send an attachment. A big one. An entire PowerPoint with images.
- Blast your press release. To an entire media list you pulled from Cision.
- Send them a long pitch. That's over five paragraphs.
- Don't address them by name. Use a greeting like, "Hello Ms."
- Call them on deadline. Multiple times.
- Repeatedly ask them for favors and give nothing in return. Never say, "thank you."
- Invite them to a media event. Without sending the date, time and location.
- Be unresponsive. Take up to two to three days to respond.
- Show up late to an event they're attending. Leave them hanging.
- Offer an exclusive and have someone else run the piece. A sure way to kill your relationship.
Follow the above, and you'll have media shaking like this guy.

Project ID: 2003ND25B
Title: Comparative Study of Fossil and Extant Fish Growth: Including Analyses of Mean Annual Temperature in the Geologic Record
Project Type: Research
Focus Categories: Surface Water, Wetlands, Climatological Processes
Keywords: Climatic change, Fossil records, global warming, Fish Growth
Start Date: 03/01/2003
End Date: 02/29/2004
Federal Funds: $10382.00
Matching Funds: $20551.00
Congressional District: 1
Principal Investigators: Ashworth, Allan; G. Padmanabhan
Abstract: This Fellowship research will focus on the comparative growth of several groups of fish. Specifically, we will contrast growth of fish in the fossil record to that of living fish to determine mean annual temperature change in the geologic record. The analyses are important for fishery biologists and ecologists in North Dakota who are interested in the implications of climatic change on surface water resources and fish. For example, we will study a fossil glacial lake site in North Dakota that has produced fossil specimens of contemporary species of fish. The environment of the fossil lake changed from a cool wet climate with tamarack, black spruce, birch and aspen to a contemporary prairie-pothole region. The change occurred over a period of thousands of years thus giving us insight into ecological processes that are affected by current climate changes. North Dakota boasts some of the best long-term data sets in the form of a fossil record to measure the effect of climatic warming on a single population of fish. A fossil lake bed near Jamestown, ND will provide perhaps thousands of years of continuous data of fish growth during a warming climate.

By ADAM SHINDER
FONDA -- The long wait to finally get on the mound didn't disrupt Fonda-Fultonville senior Zak Shaw a bit.
After several aborted attempts to get their 2014 baseball season underway, the Braves finally took the field on a picture-perfect Saturday afternoon in a non-league game against Johnstown, and Shaw got right back to the form that saw him post a 1.71 earned run average over 46 innings in 2013, holding the Sir Bills to an unearned run over six solid innings as the Braves posted a 4-1 victory.
"It felt great," Shaw said. "Everyone was pretty anxious just to play, and I think everyone played well. Everyone was pretty happy just to be out here."
Shaw limited Johnstown to just three hits, struck out 11, walked none and hit a batter over six innings and 93 efficient pitches. Shaw threw more than 20 pitches in only two innings -- the first and sixth -- and had only three three-ball counts against him the entire game.
"Sometimes, you take for granted that he's a very good pitcher," Fonda-Fultonville coach Rick Palumbo said. "First time out, he threw probably 90 pitches, which for him is not a lot. For some of my other guys, it would be, but with him I don't worry so much. He pitched a pretty economical, solid game."
Baylee Hall tossed a scoreless seventh inning to earn the save in relief of Shaw as the Braves won despite being out-hit, 5-4. Anthony Sinicropi went 1 for 3 with two runs batted in for F-F, while Lucas Calkins doubled, walked twice and scored two runs, Kevin Myers singled and scored twice and Pat Hart ripped a base hit.
The Braves took advantage of drawing seven walks against Johnstown pitchers Grant Gyldervand, Connor Askew and Steve Forker to bolster their offense. Fonda-Fultonville scored two runs without a hit in the first inning, then added two insurance runs in the fifth before Johnstown scratched across an unearned run in the sixth.
"We were pretty patient at the plate," Palumbo said. "We didn't get a lot of hits, but we didn't swing at a lot of bad ones, either."
Fonda-Fultonville didn't manage its first hit until Pat Hart's screaming line drive single in the fourth, but it was Calkins' leadoff double in the fifth that started the game's biggest rally. Myers followed by reaching on an error and stealing a base to put runners on second and third before Hall's run-scoring groundout and a Sinicropi RBI single to left made it a 4-0 game.
The hitting, Shaw said, will come as the season goes along and the Braves actually get a chance to see live pitching on a regular basis.
"It's our first day out," he said. "We'll definitely improve on that. We hadn't seen live pitching at all yet, so it was weird, but we'll be ready next time."
On the mound, Shaw was in control throughout his six-inning stint despite working with a runner on base in all but one inning. However, just one of the three hits the Sir Bills had against him left the infield, with the other two coming on soft grounders onto a very slow infield surface.
"For the first game, I'm pretty happy with myself and everyone else," Shaw said. "Everyone's working hard, and we've been working hard all year so far. Everyone's just happy to be outside."
Shaw worked around a pair of singles in the seventh inning to record the save, striking out two and finishing off the game when he induced a comebacker from Johnstown's Ryan Auty.
And after waiting so long just to play -- especially after Friday's trip to Valatie for a game with Ichabod Crane that was postponed after the teams had completed pregame warmups -- Palumbo was happy just to put one in the books.
"Overall, for a first game, I'll take it," he said. "Johnstown's a quality team. We didn't see their best pitching and they did see some of our best, but they've got games next week and we don't."

Cornerback Lee hopes camp provides fresh start
Green Bay - Green Bay cornerback Pat Lee is just going to have to catch a break and have an injury-free season so he can play like a second-round draft pick.
He missed the final month of his rookie year with a knee injury.
He missed all of 2009 with a different knee injury he suffered in the final preseason game.
He missed three games last year with an ankle injury that opened the door for Sam Shields.
At this point, Lee is going to use his play in the Super Bowl as a springboard and play football without a setback.
He knows it better than anyone. On Monday, the man of very few words did say this, not once, but five times:
"I am trying to stay injury free. That's the main thing," said Lee. "That will be the best thing going for me this year."
Lee's finest moment as a Packer came when they needed him the most.
He did not miss a defensive assignment when pressed into emergency duty in Super Bowl XLV. As Green Bay lost Charles Woodson with a broken collarbone and nickel corner Sam Shields with a shoulder injury, Lee filled in for 20 defensive plays against Pittsburgh.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could muster just 120 passing yards in the second half, not enough to beat the Packers for the Lombardi Trophy. It was a moment that showed Lee's ability beyond the special teams gunner he has otherwise been.
Who remembers that besides maybe the coaches and teammates?
After the Super Bowl, his childhood friend Jason Hill called around to Florida TV and radio stations asking why they weren't even mentioning the play of the former Christopher Columbus star out of Miami, Fla., in the Super Bowl. All he ever saw was a 30-second TV clip about Lee's mom.
Lee has always shied away from attention. A shorts and white T-shirt guy without the flashy jewelry, he gives time and money to his old his school and Hill's nonprofit local football camp. Otherwise he's all about his wife, daughter and football.
"He's on a mission this year," said Hill.
This is Lee's fourth year in the NFL, a contract year. He needs to have a good camp and he needs to have a good year before the Packers might consider re-signing him.
"He's had his best camp since I've been here," said cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr. "He has turned the corner. I've been very pleased with his approach in the classroom and very pleased with his approach on the field. His technique is better. If he just continues to keep doing what he's been doing, he's going to give himself a great opportunity to climb up that ladder."
Brandon Underwood was moved from corner to safety, and rookie fourth-round draft pick Davon House has a hamstring injury. The door is still open for Lee with Woodson, Tramon Williams, House and Shields.
Lee is getting plenty of chances to play in practice, he said, and he's being moved around with starters and backups. His only limitation is the practice itself.
"We don't really have full-on contact," said Lee. "I like having pass breakups and stuff like that - but I like hitting."
During the lockout, Lee worked out at the fitness center D1 in Huntsville, Ala., where his wife is from. He worked out twice a day, sometimes at 2 a.m. only to go back at 7 a.m. He tried to put the injuries out of his mind.
"My injuries weren't anything of conditioning," said Lee. "They were fluke accidents. There was nothing I could do or change about that."
Lee wouldn't go so far as to say he's bitter about the injuries that have limited the former Auburn star to five tackles and one pass defensed in three years.
"I mean, it does suck, but you can't do nothing about it," said Lee. "It's in the past. Just got to stay healthy.
"I just know I've got to keep going. Never give up. If I give up, I won't go nowhere."
Added Lee's agent, Todd France: "He's a great player, has tons of potential he hasn't tapped into. He's absolutely not satisfied. He's a phenomenal kid."
Tyler Dunne of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.

I read a lot about the benefits of cycling and cycling infrastructure, so I'm always excited when I learn something new. The League of American Bicyclists is reporting on the findings of a study that points to the fact that building cycle infrastructure creates more jobs than automotive infrastructure.
That's great news! Not only is infrastructure for cycles cheaper to build in the first place, it actually creates more jobs in the end.
This is another great addition to the ever-expanding list of Cycling Facts.

Because Knetbooks knows college students. Our rental program is designed to save you time and money. Whether you need a textbook for a semester, quarter or even a summer session, we have an option for you. Simply select a rental period, enter your information and your book will be on its way!
Geobiology has many faces: there is the microbial weathering of minerals, bacterial and skeletal biomineralization, the roles of autotrophic and heterotrophic metabolisms in elemental cycling, the redox history in the oceans and its relationship to evolution and the origin of life itself..
This book is the first to set out a coherent set of principles that underpin geobiology, and will act as a foundational text that will speed the dissemination of those principles. The chapters have been carefully chosen to provide intellectually rich but concise summaries of key topics, and each has been written by one or more of the leading scientists in that field..
Fundamentals of Geobiology is aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduates in the Earth and biological sciences, and to the growing number of scientists worldwide who have an interest in this burgeoning new discipline.

What is in this article?:
- Next wave of precision ag data
- Data use trends
- New precision services
The new precision frontier will turn precision ag data into profitable management decisions.
More About:
New precision services
Precision ag consultants, ag retail agronomists, seed companies and others have been gearing up to market services that help turn precision ag data into profitable decisions.
Software companies also have updated their crop data management products to help farmers make better use of the data they gather.
"The process of collecting good data is getting easier than it used to be," says Scott Nusbaum, product manager for Farm Works, which markets its software as a do-it-yourself tool for farmers as well as consultants and ag retailers. "More farmers are collecting and using data, whether they are handling everything themselves or working with a consultant."
Cubbage recently expanded his western Missouri consulting firm, Record Harvest (www.recordharvest.com), to establish a new precision ag data management service called Prime Meridian (www.primemeridiandata.com). The focus is on providing data storage and management solutions through ag retailers, as well as directly with farmers.
"Farmers need someone to be a data traffic cop," Cubbage says. "We gather fertility information from the co-op and planting and yield monitor data in one location, so whoever may need it in the future can get access."
Crop consultants and ag retail agronomists also are retooling their efforts to help farmers harvest more value from precision data. "We are experiencing a major paradigm shift: crop consultants are becoming data managers," says Jeremy Wilson with Crop Information Management Services (www.cropims.com).
Based in southern Illinois, the company began offering an integrated information management and crop consulting service in 2004. Fees range from $3 to $10/acre and up, depending on crop scouting and data management needs. A Cadillac program includes scouting, monitor setup to assure clean data collection, plus analysis of planting and harvest data to develop crop removal fertilizer recommendations and planting recommendations based on performance by specific soil types and environments.
"It can be difficult to convince someone to pay somebody to manage their data," Wilson says. "The 'aha' moment often comes with variety tracking and better hybrid and variety selection."

OK, I promised that I would show you my wedding binder with some tips I learned along the way, so here they are. I actually used 2 binders…the Russell + Hazel white patent binder I used to hold EVERYTHING that was inspirational to me, images, articles, etc. Since I had a huge amount of inspiration, this binder got way too heavy to take to meetings, so thats where the second binder came in. The second binder was just a simple white one from Staples that I would bring to meetings along with the relevant information and images needed…it also held all my vendor contracts. Get one with a D-ring because your pages will sit nicer that with a round one…also get one with either a clear view spine or front, because you can dress it up with some wallpaper or giftwrap. Before a meeting, I would go through the patent binder to pull stuff to put into the Staples one, and voila, I had everything I needed without breaking my back. In each of the binders I used sheet protectors which you can get from any office supply store, but I liked using the OfficeMax brand because it didn't have any logos on it. I also bought business card sheets for cards I wanted to keep close, but for the most part, I kept all that info on my iPhone. Extra wide sheet dividers from Avery are what kept my sections apart….the extra wide is essential so you can see past the sheet protectors [I learned this the hard way].
I got another wedding binder as a gift, so I took out the checklists I needed help on and added them into my new binders. I also bought a small version of the Everything Wedding Checklists to make sure I covered all my bases….it fit nicely in the rubberband of my R+H binder. So thats it…my Franken-binder for weddings! Now that R+H has downloadable checklists, yours will surely look a lot better than mine….:)
Check out my interview over at Wishpot….I've got to say its the strangest and most hilarious interview I've ever had! thanks Christine!
All I can say is Wow! This was the most successful contest to date, and I'm thoroughly amazed by how disorganized all of you are. The 3 lucky winners get to pick what style binder they'd like, just check the site for the name of your favorite. Please email me with your binder choice and address information.
The winners are…..!
For everyone else, you can download the free binder templates from the website to help spearhead your own binders. You'll find worksheets for contacts, timelines, budgets, registry, pretty much everything you need. This week I'll show you how I built my own wedding binder using a Russell + Hazel signature binder [but you can use any binder, I just like them cuz they're pretty and very durable!]
A very big thank you to Russell + Hazel for helping with the contest!!
[images from Russell + Hazel]
Since tomorrow is a holiday, I'm going to extend the Russell + Hazel wedding binder giveaway to the weekend….last day to comment is Sunday….winners will be announced on Monday! Click here to enter…
Have a great 4th of July!

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no Pacific-wide tsunami threat.
Charles and Camilla continue Papua New Guinea tour
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall have been visiting Papua New Guinea as part of their Diamond Jubilee tour.
The royal couple arrived at the Sir John Guise Stadium in the capital of Port Moresby to a cheering crowd of 5,000.
After an open air church service Charles presented new colours to the Royal Pacific Islands Regiment.
During a speech to the crowds Charles spoke in Pidgin English and said: "I bring you greetings from Her Majesty the Queen of Papua New Guinea and from all my family members during this celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen. Was my Pidgin correct?"
"This is a great day and a magnificent spectacle. We are gathered here to celebrate the Queen's 60 years of service to others.
"I know how honoured Her Majesty is to be your Queen, a title borne by her with immense pride and renewed by the people of this great country upon independence in 1975."
Thousands of school children paraded into the stadium for the royals.
Prince and Duchess try Papua New Guinea village life
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are to experience Papua New Guinea village life as part of their tour to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year.
Charles and Camilla will travel to the coastal settlement of Boera to see how people live and keep their traditions alive.
They will tour craft stalls and watch a war dance before the Prince and Duchess will learn about conservation work to preserve coastal mangrove forests and plant saplings to highlight the project.
Cheers greet Charles and Camilla on royal tour
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were draped with garlands of flowers as they arrived in Papua New Guinea.
The welcome for the royals was one of contrasts with Prime Minister Peter O'Neill and his wife waiting at one end of a long red carpet, while at the other were local schoolchildren in tribal dress performing a hiri dance - used to welcome traders to a village.
Jessie David, a bare-breasted 15-year-old wearing a pandanas leaf skirt, body paint and a headdress made of bird of paradise feathers, was given the honour of placing the orchid flowers on the shoulders of the royals.

The Investigations unit is responsible for investigating all serious felony cases and all cases that will require substantial time and resources to resolve. Examples of crimes investigated by the Investigations unit include computer crimes, fraud, burglary, some misdemeanor offenses, sex offences, and sex offender registration. The unit has a Commander, nine Detectives, and an Administrative Assistant. This group of deputies investigates crimes and files appropriate charges with the District Attorney's Office regarding felony crimes committed in unincorporated Weld County as well as in Weld County Municipalities that do not have their own Law Enforcement Agency. The Investigations Unit also works closely with the crime lab, victim assistance, and crime analysis.
The members of the Investigations unit are committed to quality service with an emphasis on integrity, professionalism, and community spirit. The goal of the Investigations unit is to identify suspects, apprehend criminals, collect evidence, provide comprehensive victim services, and to protect the public by detecting and mitigating serious crimes and crime trends.
Detectives are assigned to work Monday - Friday, 7:00 AM -5:00 PM. They also rotate through an "on-call" position several weekends each year as well as week nights so that there are always resources available to investigate serious crimes.
Investigators are trained to be "investigative generalists", assigned to a specific geographical district where they manage follow-up investigations for that district. The Investigations unit is dedicated to utilizing a modified "CompSTAT" method of Community Policing that has been modified to better serve the people of Weld County and re-titled "CrimeTRAC". The assigned work areas for each individual Investigator are de-centralized to coincide with our patrol deputy counterparts. Although assigned to differing geographic areas and areas of responsibility, all detectives work together as a single unit, following the principles of incident command when a major crime occurs (such as a homicide) to produce the most effective and professional resolution.
The recent increases in population and business experienced in Weld County would typically be accompanied by the potential for increases in serious crime. To meet the challenge of a potential rise in crime, the Investigations unit operates in an environment of continuous training and upgrading of investigative skills, equipment, and technological advances. Interaction and communication with other law enforcement agencies is critical to the success of the Investigative unit's operation. The utilization of the philosophy of training, experience, and interaction has led to crime rates below the national average and crime clearance rates above the national average.

The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) is a national quality partnership of organizations interested in improving surgical care by significantly reducing surgical complications. SCIP Partners include the Steering Committee of 10 national organizations who have pledged their commitment and full support for SCIP. They are:
Surgical site infections account for 15% of all hospital-acquired infections. Patients who develop surgical site infections are twice as likely to die as other surgical patients. Huntington is deeply committed to providing the best surgical care that we can. SCIP has the most extensive list of quality indicators and is the most complex of the Core Measures. As such, we feel that this is an area where we need to be particularly diligent in our effort to strive for the utmost excellence.
For a more detailed breakdown, beneath are a series of detailed explanations for each SCIP quality indicator with a chart showing the percentage of patients receiving that particular quality indicator by quarter against the annual state and national averages.
Quality Indicator: Prophylactic Antibiotic Start Within 1 Hour
Surgery patients who get antibiotics within an hour before their operations start are less likely to get infections. Getting an antibiotic after surgery begins, is not as effective: administering antibiotics at the right time is important.
Quality Indicator: Prophylactic Antibiotic Selection for Surgical Patients
This indicator demonstrates the percentage of surgical patients that received the proper recommended preventative antibiotic(s) for their surgery.
Quality Indicator: Prophylactic Antibiotics End within 24 Hours
Taking prophylactic antibiotics for more than 24 hours after a routine surgery is usually not necessary and can increase the chances of side effects. Overuse of antibiotics can also cause these medicines to be less effective.
Quality Indicator: Cardiac Surgery Patients with Controlled Postoperative Glucose
This indicator measures the percentage of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)/cardiac surgery patients whose glucose is kept under good control in the days following surgery.
Quality Indicator: Surgery Patients with Appropriate Hair Removal
Preparing a patient for surgery often includes removing body hair from the skin in areas where the surgery will be performed. Electric clippers or hair removal cream is considered safer than a razor which can cause skin abrasions that promote infection.
Quality Indicator: Patients Receiving VTE Prophylaxis within 24 Hours Prior to or After Surgery
This indicator measures the percentage of surgical patients treated to prevent blood clots within 24 hours before or after surgery. The result is the improvement of blood flow to the heart.
Quality Indicator: Patients on Beta Blockers PTA (Prior to Arrival) Who Received Beta Blockers Perioperatively
The preoperative period for the SCIP cardiac measures is defined as 24 hours prior to surgical incision through discharge from post-anesthesia care/recovery area. Studies have suggested that beta-blocker administration before surgery tends to enhance survival rates.

A Lancaster man has been arrested on child-pornography charges, according to the S.C. Attorney General's Office.
David John Washburn, 54, formerly of 1400 Phil Thurman Road, was arrested Sept. 16 on five counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, felony offenses each punishable by up to 10 years in prison, the attorney general's office said Monday.
Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators said Washburn was found to have photographs of child pornography.
An Indian Land High School ring lost on a graduation trip to Myrtle Beach in 1979 has been returned to its owner, who now lives in New Mexico.
"It was such a great feeling to know after 37 years that someone took the time and effort to return my ring," said Raymond Langford, who received his ring in the mail last week.
"The ring is in excellent condition," he said. "I was quite surprised, although now a size too small for my ring finger."
Dace W. Jones, who led Springs Memorial Hospital for three decades before retiring in 1995, died Monday at his home in Mount Pleasant. He was 83.
Among his accomplishments was construction of the main hospital building in 1970. Current Springs CEO Janice Dabney said the hospital was considered "ultra modern" at the time, with automated carts to carry supplies around the building, which many people had never seen before,
Jones was a "progressive, out-of-the-box thinker," Dabney said.
Wade Chittam, the fun-loving University of South Carolina Lancaster chemistry professor whose smile illuminated classrooms for more that four decades, died Sunday. He was 72.
The Limestone, Ala., native taught general and organic chemistry at USCL from 1968 to 2009. The student body twice named him the university's top professor, and he retired with the title of professor emeritus.
Chittam is survived by his wife, Angie, and their two children and two grandchildren.
Six months ago, Van Wyck residents were urgently pursuing incorporation plans, trying to become a town before Indian Land's proposal to incorporate almost the entire Panhandle could swallow the rural community.
The Van Wyck petition effort succeeded, and the proposal is awaiting legislative approval before going back to Van Wyck for a public vote.
With Hurricane Matthew targeting the Carolinas, Gov. Nikki Haley on Tuesday ordered 1.1 million coastal residents to evacuate beginning at 3 p.m. today and alerted Lancaster County officials that their assistance might be needed.
The county held a joint meeting late Tuesday involving public safety, public works, the school district, and parks and recreation to determine the local response, said County Administrator Steve Willis.
John Elliott's heart was racing as he pushed hard through the finish line of the 100-meter wheelchair race at the 2016 state track championship this past spring.
The crowd was cheering him on. He had just made history.
The 2015-16 academic year was the first time S.C. students in wheelchairs could compete against each other at regular high school track meets.
Four businessmen are making moves to get tastier ice cream at Buford Elementary School, and those entrepreneurs happen to be fourth graders with firm handshakes and a trusty partnership.
Robbie Johnson, Riley Deese, Isaac Prakin and Wyatt Ghent scheduled a business meeting this month with BES administrative assistant Gayle Caskey, who is the purchaser for the school's canteen. Robbie is 10. The others are 9.
The four decided to write a letter to request ice cream sandwiched between two cookies. But they had to decide who had the best handwriting first.
The honeymoon is over for Lancaster Mayor John Howard.
After eight months as mayor, and 32 years in city government, Howard says Lancaster faces a perfect storm of financial problems, and he sees no easy way out.
The city must find as much as $12 million more to comply with federal orders to fix its aging sewer system. Its largest taxpayer – Duracell – is leaving town. And it has chronic staffing problems that all boil down to money.

Next I want to take the grade the 4 miles to New World and check it out. From there it would be cool to make it to Chimney Rocks. And one even dreams of making it all the way up to Thunderhead. I say dream because last post I saw on Griztrax about this said it took like 12 hours. I think the last 1/2 mile took like 6 hours of Rhodo ****. OK so it's 3 trips & one I'll probably only just dream about
Another cool hike I want to do is up Starkey to AT. It's good trail till at least 2/3 mile up Starkey. Anyone want to venture into the Devil's Courthouse?
I hiked to and past the New World around 8 yrs ago. The New World area is (was) pretty rough. I remember crawling (scrunching) through there. I recommend going in late fall/winter to make it an easier trip Try to during a Google search on the Defeat Ridge Trail, I read a report by some local hikers of going all the way to the spine. Can't remember the lady's name, but she complained about her pack continually hanging up while she went through the New World area. Once you get out of that area and are heading up the ridge it's a nice hike. I was on day hike, wasn't really prepared for the excursion and I turned around before getting to the spine. I want to do it again someday, but go all the way to the spine, but I won't do it during the growing season.

Fishing New Years weekend and the following weekend
Well all I did not get over last weekend but the weekend the fishing was great. As I think I said in my previous post I was not too hopeful for there was as much as 12' of ice coming out from the banks (in slower sections) The water temp and 3:00 pm was 36 degrees. But the fish were in an eating mood! High temp for the day was 51 deg. We found fish in slower deeper runs and almost all came to the Y2K or plain glow bug I will post a few pics, more when I download from the digital to photobucket. The run is great this season!
,[IMG] This is the morning of New Year's Eve. The Temp was pretty cold and the water temp about 38 degr. We did not catch fish that morning. The little guy with dad is Cole Baggett. Ed is starting him off right! shortly thereafter though Cole was heard to utter Mama, he was ready to go see her! http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m149/jswitow/KathyandBlakeontheNan11-18-07plu-8.jpg[/IMG]. Thef second is a fish caught over T-Giving 21" hen, another pig. I will post more later, maybe this evening. Now is the time unless it is just bitterly cold.

West Nile Research Doesn't Bode Well for Sage Grouse
Laramie, WY – Researchers say they have yet to find a sage grouse that has survived a West Nile Virus infection. That's an ominous sign for sage grouse, which is already experiencing a decrease in habitat. But the state's West Nile coordinator remains optimistic. Terry Creekmore points out that no virus is completely lethal and he thinks it's likely that some sage grouse have survived infection, but just haven't been found yet. In experiments, even the smallest doses of West Nile have killed sage grouse. And there's evidence that West Nile can spread directly from sage grouse to sage grouse without mosquitoes.

|TVGC Interview with Crystal Chappell, Entertainer of the Year
|Tweet Topic Started: Dec 29 2009, 12:56 AM (6,706 Views)
|Dec 29 2009, 10:49 AM Post #21
|Crystal deserves the title. She carried GL on her back for a long time. She's been amazing on DAYS. Such a breath of fresh air. And even though I think Venice is a mess, it shows she is dedicated to drama and trying to create new ways of delivering it with a cast full of familiar faces in daytime.
|Dec 29 2009, 11:31 AM Post #22
She's very eloquent, isn't she? :huh:
|Dec 29 2009, 11:32 AM Post #23
|Sorry. I cannot get on the lovewagon, but more power to those of you who do.
|Dec 29 2009, 11:50 AM Post #24
|Crystal has been praised to high heaven for the last several months, but nothing I have seen on Days justifies the love fest. :shrug:
|Dec 29 2009, 01:43 PM Post #25
If you go to Youtube and watch some of her earlier Day's stuff from the 90's...you'll see why they rave. Just type in Bo and Carly, Dool and tons of stuff will come up. She's better with Peter Reckell though than with Faux Bo Robert Kelker Kelly. The Katerina Von Leuschner Storyline and the stuff after that was awesome stuff. And her buried alive stuff at the end was really good as well.
|Dec 29 2009, 02:19 PM Post #26
Captain Kirk
Thanks for the heads up. I started watching DAYS because of the Buried Alive Story, so I did get to catch the end of her run, although I was only 10 at the time, LOL.
|Dec 29 2009, 03:00 PM Post #27
No. Around the beginning of Carly's return, CC said that a Carly/Bo romance was not imminent � and indeed it wasn't.
She also said in her conference call with PR in early November that she figures Bope are endgame and that from an acting standpoint she prefers the loser-in-love role. That should be music to the ears of Bope fans (Barly fans not so much).
|Dec 29 2009, 03:40 PM Post #28
After all... tomorrow is another day!
I think a lot has changed and maybe they decided to give Barly a shot after seeing enough fans willing to let Bope break up for a while to explore Barly. Wasn't the original articles promoting a Carly and Daniel romance? And wasn't Justin not originally planned to be on this much at all? So obviously a Justin-Hope pairing wasn't considered early on.
|Dec 29 2009, 04:28 PM Post #29
Bo and Hope were being ruined long before Crystal came back.
|Dec 29 2009, 04:29 PM Post #30
|Many Days fans are just so used to crap, they don't recognize talent when they see it. :P
|Dec 29 2009, 04:33 PM Post #31
Actually, I would hope they didn't just watch Days, so yeah,I'm sure they recognize talent. I don't think she's untalented....I just don't think she's Meryl Streep. Shoot, she's not even Louise Sorel, who can really show some variation in her acting. Crystal Chappell is good. She's fine. She's just not an acting goddess.
|Dec 29 2009, 04:40 PM Post #32
lol! Seriously, though, I don't think that's fair. She hasn't had a chance to really show her stuff yet. And she was OTT in the scene with Bo - I was laughing.
|Dec 29 2009, 04:50 PM Post #33
|^ITA and I was a HUGE Bo & Carly fan back in the days! I'm still waiting to praise her, but I think I'll keep waiting until this SL goes further. She's not a bad actress, but not DAYS' messiah either and sometimes I feel that others portray her as that!
|Dec 29 2009, 05:09 PM Post #34
LoL, I was being facetious. I, myself, have said that Crystal hasn't done anything impressive since returning to Days. I love Carly though.
|Dec 29 2009, 05:10 PM Post #35
Ah, Kenny, we know your heart is really with Kristen anyway. :D
|Dec 29 2009, 05:11 PM Post #36
|Dec 29 2009, 05:21 PM Post #37
|I LOVED Kristen! I rooted for her even though I knew bitch Marlena would always win! I would LOVE a Di-house with Kristen and Nicole...awww HEAVEN!!!LOL
|Dec 29 2009, 05:22 PM Post #38
The Barly thing is on it way to it's climax and then it will end! Sorry Barly fans! They needed closure since they neverr really got it before and with this storyline of Bo/Hope/Carly, they will finally get the closure they both need. Stuff has already been shot to wind the Bo & Carly stuff to a close. I think the upcoming stuff for Carly/Crystal will be alot more challenging for her and we will get to see the "dark" side that Crystal as referenced in the past. Carly will have a relationship down the line, don't worry. She's got other stuff that she is going to be dealing with to keep her busy!
This is still a Bo & Hope story. And now we are going to get to the Phase three of the story. The writers had to tear Bo & Hope completely down, to rebuild them! They first need to find Hope the individual and Bo the individual, before they can re-find Bo & Hope! And that is going to be the good upcoming story that we are going to be getting in this next phase!
|Dec 29 2009, 05:24 PM Post #39
It's really a shame that they didn't bring her back a few years ago when Eileen Davidson was let go from Y&R. The timing was perfect since her "son" had just returned to the show. Unfortunately, B&B snapped her up and Days never even approached her about coming back. I was pissed, LoL.
|Dec 29 2009, 06:03 PM Post #40
Um, DOOL pays the bills. It's a "job". Plus, with the extremely tight DOOL filming schedule, many DOOL actors have said they now have "tons" of free time. We may see actors almost daily, but those scenes are shot in clumps, which often explains the somewhat dramatic changes in appearance some of them have when they return back to work and shoot another 5-6 episodes-worth of scenes in a single day or two.
As for CC, Clearly her heart is elsewhere though. And in 5 years when "webisodic programming" can actually pay the mortgage, regular broadcast TV will be virtually dead anyway.

text: I may have to divest myself of one of my three stainless Ruger Old Army revolvers to fund a (gulp) shotgun purchase. This one is a typical 7.5 inch adjustable sight stainless,with walnut grips, but according to the Ruger web sight is a 1978 version, and it does not have the warning "billboard" on the barrel like later versions. I have no box, manual, or nipple tool for it, and it has a high polish I gave it with Mother's Mag Polish to remove little scratches from the years. Bore is fine. No modifications unless a previous owner did something. I'm trying to assess a price so I know what to ask when I put it up for sale on commission at a local gun shop. Does the "pre-warning" barrel fact give it a value premium? Thanks all. Don

Battleground Energy Recovery Project Harris County, Texas
The proposed project is consistent with DOE's goal of increased use of energy efficiency and renewable energy generation projects. The proposed project involves installation of a specifically designed waste heat recovery boiler on the existing kiln afterburner of an incineration unit at the CHDP facility. This boiler would use heat from the incinerator flue gases to generate high pressure superheated steam. The adjacent Dow Chemical plant would periodically consume part of the steam for process needs, replacing natural gas firing of existing boilers. The majority of the steam, however, would be piped to a new steam turbine-generator (STG). The STG would be installed in a new building adjacent to the existing CHDP facility. Additional waste heat steam from the neighboring Dow Chemical plant would be routed to the STG when available. A cooling tower would be installed adjacent to the new building in the northwest corner of the facility. The 8 MW of electricity generated by the STG would be used by the CHDP facility to offset purchased power; any excess power generated would be transmitted to the electrical grid.

I got a few interesting emails today and one was from one of my favorite beer writers Lew Bryson announcing an update to his website setting out what he has been up to lately. He has down the right side of this is 13th news letter digest of sort a great feature "What I've Been Drinking" which is basically Pennsylvanian micro-brews. Tröegs Mad Elf looks like a particularly good brew. Go read Lew's news. He is a hero of mine. His picture of Tapwerks in Oklahoma City alone is worth a visit...so I will copy it. Please note. Those are all taps of different drafts. Herself suggests that this image aligns somewhat with my notion of heaven. Sadly Lew indicates that without a big client-base this heaven's brews were too often off, sour.
Have you read The Unbearable Nonsense of Craft Beer - A Rant in Nine Acts by Alan and Max yet? It's out on Kindle as well as Lulu.
Maureen Ogle said this about the book: "... immensely readable, sometimes slightly surreal rumination on beer in general and craft beer in particular. Funny, witty, but most important: Smart. The beer geeks will likely get all cranky about it, but Alan and Max are the masters of cranky..."
Ron Pattinson said: "I'm in a rather odd situation. Because I appear in the book. A fictional version of me. It's a weird feeling."

The City of Electra is looking at all options when it comes to water conservation to try and make sure it never runs out.
Electra commissioners addressed the ongoing drought and also reviewed steps its public works department is taking to secure extra water for its residents.
Electra Public Works Director David Simon told the commission E. coli and total coliform tests performed on the city's wells came back negative.
Simon says the wells are looking good and they're waiting on nitrate test results and a visit from Texas Commission on Environmental Quality officials before the wells can go online.
He says the city will continue to buy its water from Iowa Park, which buys its water from Wichita Falls, but having the wells as a back up is a great plan B.
Simon says the city is now looking at ways at making sure the well water is not lost when it makes its way from the well site near Punkin Center to Electra.
"When we have to bring it so far into town, if we have a main line leak, the tower go down, fire or something like that, we lose everything we produce," Simon says. "We can't keep up. If we can get a 500,000 or 1 million gallon tank out there; let the wells just keep on building, pumping in as we need it. I'd be great. That'll be the way to go."
Also, Simon gave commissioners an update on the city pool.
He says the pool is at capacity using city water but all of the refilling will be hauled in using well water.
Electra residents can expect the pool to open on May 31.
