The PIN is a unique Personal Identification Number that you will need in order to take the Optometry Admission Test. You may already have a PIN. Learn more.
Before you can apply to take the OAT, you must obtain a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Please go to the PIN page for information on obtaining a PIN.
Access the OAT application from the left navigation. The OAT fee is: $435.00. Testing fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. There are no exceptions. Your credit card will be charged when you submit your application.
Download and review the OAT Frequently Asked Questions
The name on your IDs must match exactly with the name on your application. If the name on your application and your IDs do not match exactly, you will be denied admission to testing and, as a result, forfeit your scheduled testing appointment and your application fee. You will be required to submit a new application.
Electronic Notification of OAT Eligibility
Upon processing of an examinee's OAT application, examinees will receive an email notification (or letter if no email address on file) of eligibility for testing with instructions for appointment scheduling. (Please check your Spam folder if unable to locate the notification, especially Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo accounts.)
Advanced Scheduling
To increase the likelihood you will receive your first choice of date, time and location, you should schedule 60 to 90 days before the desired testing date. Please remember, you may schedule your test appointment with Prometric only upon receipt of your eligibility letter.
Rescheduling Testing Appointments
A candidate who wishes to reschedule his or her testing appointment must contact Prometric in advance of the testing appointment and pay a fee directly to Prometric. The fee schedule is as follows:
Rescheduling Fees
**Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are NOT business days**
Appointments can be rescheduled by calling 800.688.5804 or through www.prometric.com. Leaving a message for a local test center is not sufficient; the local test center cannot schedule, reschedule, or cancel your appointment.
Canceling Testing Appointments
If you cancel your testing appointment and do not schedule another exam within six months, the cancelation will result in a complete forfeiture of your examination fee (examination fees are nonrefundable).
The OAT Program does not endorse any test preparation courses and has no data on the content or efficacy of test preparation courses designed to prepare examinees to take the OAT. The OAT Program urges individuals considering participating in test preparation courses to review carefully the course materials to ensure that they reflect the current content of the OAT.
While all optometry schools require examinees to participate in the OAT Program, test results are only one factor considered in evaluating the admission potential of an examinee.
A sample test is available to download below. It contains samples of the four tests used in the Optometry Admission Testing Program. The sample test is made available to enable the examinee to become familiar with the types of material included in the test as well as with the general coverage and format of the various parts of the test battery.
Helpful Information
Remember that when you test, the name on your IDs must match exactly with the name on your application. If the name on your application and your IDs do not match exactly, you will be denied admission to testing and, as a result, forfeit your scheduled testing appointment and your application fee. You will be required to submit a new application.
Examinees that experience concerns about scheduling issues, testing conditions, or any unresolved problem should inform the Test Administrator before leaving the test center and record this information in the appropriate section of the post-test survey. For issues requiring further action, examinees must contact the Optometry Admission Testing Program at: firstname.lastname@example.com within five business days of the testing appointment.
Scoring Questions (PDF)
Prometric Link: What to Expect on Test Day
At the completion of your testing appointment, you will receive an unofficial score report at the Prometric Testing Center. Your test responses are audited for accuracy before official scores are reported to the optometry schools requested on your OAT application. Please retain the unofficial report given to you at the Prometric Test Center.
The application fee includes reporting official scores to five optometry schools if requested on your application.

Ok, I'm not a big message board guy... So much so that I can't even remember my old user name or the email I used with it... So this is my "first" post. I live in Geoegia and the SHB is a pain for me. I've tried all the traps and they all work but have drawbacks. I bought a few of the Freeman? plastic traps that you have to add a 3/4" spacer to your bottom board to use (more gaps). Great idea except having to pull it out from the front, having to make custom entrance reducers, and all the gaps around the edge of the trap between it and the bottom board. I've seen where others have built a custom bottom board with a slide out rear metal tray. Hard to build but much better idea overall. My other big problem is well... I like and need a vented bottom board so my bees don't spend the summer outside the hive, leaving the hive under protected.
What's my solution? A custom wood bottom board with a rear removable tray that incorporates an area for ventilation while still having full screened oil trap in the areas it matters most, the edges and back corners where those buggers get corralled. I also have an idea of integrating a lure possibly into the trap as well as a secondary oil trap beneath the vent area if my testing shows its needed or beneficial enough to use.
Any thoughts? My design is all wood, sized for 10, 8, and even 5 frame nucs (the reason for my design actually) and incorporates an angled landing board entrance. My idea is why not add every bell and whistle you can to make something better for the bees if it only takes a few minutes more to make and keeps you from buying more pieces such as a separate landing board. If there is interest and the experts on here think its a good idea, I'll be glad to make some up for people. I'm a carpenter/farmer so they would be quality built. I like my stuff to last! anyway, just excited about my idea and thought I would share and get some feedback.
BTW, my Nuc problem was that I built some with a built in screened bottom and it was a disaster... Beetles took over... the screen was built in my nuc because I also made up some nuc observation tops and extra ventilation was a requirement. With the new design, I can have an oil tray on the nuc when it's at home, remove it for a trip to a school demonstration, still have ventilation and not have to worry about kids sticking their hands under the nuc and getting stung through the mesh since it is inside the bottom board now.

You tried too hard.
Second, I'm basing my opinion solely on his NFL training camps and preseason play over the past two years. Not what he did as a junior three years ago.
Third, what I saw in this preseason wasn't a project ... it was a big guy who couldn't get out of his own way. No athleticism. No skill. Just a big body that was fairly easy to get around. To say he's a "project" at this point would be overly kind.
P.S. - I follow the draft every year and follow up with the players we choose and my only thought of when we drafted Brewer was it was a positional pick we needed of a player who could be best described as "meh".

East coast source for high temperature wire

I have spent an hour looking for this topic on CAD and visiting various websites for ceramics suppliers, with no luck. I am trying to find a high temp sculpture wire that can be used inside a 1/2" clay coil to provide some strength after the firing. I like to make tree branches (see attachments), but they are vulnerable to breakage from careless handling after they are finished. Also, I don't know what gauge wire I need. Too thick, and it would probably be difficult to bend, but too thin and it would probably not offer much strength. Any suggestions for sources and gauges?
thanks, Jayne

Sorry about the oversized images. Anybody want to suggest a post I can read that deals with THAT problem so I don't do that again???

You might have to order online and have it ship it to you. Google nichrome wire and you will find lots of stores that sells it.

Trees and vegetation play an important part in managing stormwater, stabilizing slopes, providing habitat, reducing air pollution, and contributing to neighborhood character. For these reasons, we regulate trees and vegetation removal on private property in certain situations.
Tree removal: Our codes limit the number and size of trees that you are allowed to cut down. (See our Tree Protection Code page.)
Vegetation restoration: Our codes restrict removing vegetation from most environmentally critical areas (ECAs) and buffers. You need a restoration plan (called an ECA revegetation approval) to plant native vegetation and to remove non-native or invasive plants in an ECA. The vegetation restoration plan helps prevent erosion, protect water quality, and provide diverse habitat.
Environmentally critical areas: You need to apply for an ECA revegetation approval plan to remove and restore trees and vegetation in landslide-prone areas (including steep slopes), steep slope buffers, shoreline habitat, shoreline buffers, wetlands, wetland buffers, and riparian corridors. Research your property to find out if it has environmentally critical areas.
Undeveloped land: You cannot remove any trees with trunks greater than 6 inches in diameter measured 4.5 feet from the ground without our approval. To get our approval, you need to submit a tree evaluation, which requires inspection by a certified tree risk assessor, and a hazard tree removal application.
Developed land: If the trees and vegetation are outside of an ECA or ECA buffer you must follow the tree protection rules. You usually need our approval to remove more than 3 trees with trunks larger than 6 inches in diameter or any designated exceptional tree.
Developing property: If you are developing your property, we will review your tree and vegetation removal plans as part of your permit application. See our complete list of permits for specific requirements.
Public right-of-way: If the trees are located in a public right-of-way, you need a permit from Seattle Department of Transportation Urban Forestry to remove them.
Projects less than 1,500 square feet: We do not charge fees if you are removing trees or restoring vegetation on less than 1,500 square feet in environmental critical areas.
Projects more than 1,500 square feet: If your project covers more than 1,500 square feet in an ECA, you will need to go through a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. You will need to pay fees for the SEPA review.
Hazard tree removal. We do not charge fees for removing hazard trees.
We try to finish the initial review within two weeks.
How long it takes to get the final approval depends on how complex your project is and how many corrections, if any, you need to make.
Get your property information. Use our interactive map to find your zoning, lot size, environmental critical areas, and trees over six inches in diameter.
Attend a coaching session. The Public Resource Center offers free 20-minute coaching to answer questions about the removal of trees and ECA vegetation restoration approvals.
Hazard Tree Removal
The following information must be submitted when requesting to remove a tree that is a hazard.
ECA Vegetation Restoration
You must use the Tree and Vegetation Standard Mitigation Plan, or an alternate format prepared by a qualified professional.
When you draw the planting plan, clearly identify existing vegetation and structures and the boundaries of parcels, ECAs, and ECA buffers.You should select plants appropriate for the soil and light conditions of your site. A list of recommended native plants is in Tip 331A.
We will send your approval by email or by mail based on your preference in your application request.
You don't need an inspection unless it is specifically noted on your approval.

text: I have recently got the OK to use a sod farm to place a beeyard. I realize that the sod farm has no benifits for the bees other than providing a place for about 40 colonies. I will be on the edge, out of the way from irrigation, ect. The area is a good area for spring wild flower, and cotton. The sod farmer told me that he will spray his sod periodicly. I'm thinking that the bees won't have anything to do with sod, so there won't be any danger of the spraying. Has anyone had experiences with sod farms? What are your oppinions. Thank you all.

Can a McNeese State team that was blown out by LSU a year ago at Burton Coliseum hope to compete with the Lady Tigers on their home floor?
Cowgirls coach Brooks Donald Williams certainly thinks so, and will find out Friday when McNeese tips off with the Tigers (7-3) at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at 2 p.m.
"They're such a different team from last season. I think we both are," Donald Williams said. "They've graduated some important pieces of their puzzle and have had some younger kids step up. It's going to be a great challenge for our kids, but we've had some great practices lately and are getting better defensively.
"Things are starting to click. I think we've got a great chance."
The Cowgirls (4-4) also have an important piece back in the lineup in guard Alaina Verdin, who scored 17 points in Tuesday's exhibition win over Southern-New Orleans. It was Verdin's first game back after redshirting last season with an ACL tear.
McNeese was plagued by late scoring droughts in losses at Rice and Louisiana Tech, and getting Verdin back may be a step towards avoiding that problem in the future.
"We've put Alaina Verdin in the lineup, and that's going to help us more than a little bit," Donald Williams said. "You look back at those games, and we're getting some really good looks. But we have put in some things to maybe relieve some pressure from the guards and let other guys touch it more."
McNeese's biggest disadvantage will come trying to match up with 6-foot-5 LSU center Theresa Plaisance, who is averaging 17.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.
"Their inside game is going to be tough for us. We know that going in," Donald Williams said. "We feel it's going to be a great challenge for our kids.
"Similar to Vanderbilt, we're going to try to take away any easy passes into the post. That's going to take being in great defensive position on every catch. It goes hand-in-hand with our guards pressuring the ball as well."

Runners, walkers, volunteers, sponsors make events successful
The Crosslake Park and Library Foundation and the Crosslake Parks Department would like to thank all of the local runners, walkers and volunteers for making the fourth annual Monster Dash another successful event.
We would also like to thank our premiere and other sponsors. Events like the Monster Dash bring in tourists to spend money in the Crosslake area. Without the support of our local businesses and service groups this event would not be possible.
The Parks Department also hosted our annual Children's Halloween Party Saturday, Oct. 26, from noon to 2. It was great to see so many children in attendance.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and volunteers.

Does anyone have a GOOD recipe for Waldorf Salad.I would like to fix it for Easter.
Thanks bunches
My favorite holiday salad
1 large red apple cored and diced
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 cup red grapes, opt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped roughly
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 t sugar
1 tsp lemon juice.
uMix fruit and nuts together, mix mayo, sugar and lemon juice, pour over fruit and mix well. Can serve over mixed greens if you like.
Mix together
2 med. apples, coarsley chopped about 2 cups.. 2 med stalk celery chopped. about 1 cup.1/2 cup mayo.1/3 cup coarsley chopped nuts.toss together and serve on salad greens. or you can add pineapple. also add marshmallows.
Sounds great for summer - if it ever comes.
Our favorite is apple salad. I'm not sure what qualifies it as a Waldorf salad. The walnuts, I think.
I noticed that some of you use celery and you could add either of these if you like.
Anyway, here is what I do.
1/2 apple per person
1/2 banana per apple - that is how I start to get the amount that I want.
For instance:
4 apples
2 bananas
Maybe a cup of grapes halves - or dried dates, raisins, etc.
1 cup of mini marshmallows
Dressing is about 1/3 Miracle Whip and 2/3 Cool Whip
I like a generous amount of the dressing and just scoop it on - don't usually measure.
Okay, now I'm cooking like my grandmother.
It's a favorite with my family.
I make Waldorf Salad with. apples, celery, walnuts. My dressing is whipped whipping cream.Gently fold it in. I know it's not traditional but Wow you should taste it. Yum
Sounds yummy
This recipe is a little different in that it is frozen. It's easy to make ahead of time.
Ever-Ready Waldorf Salad
1 (1 pound, 4 ounce) can crushed pineapple
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup diced celery
3 medium-size, unpeeled apples, diced
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1-1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped
- Drain pineapple, reserving 3/4 cup juice
- Combine juice with eggs, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick. Cool
- Add pineapple, celery, apples and nuts. Fold in whipped cream. Turn into two 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pans
- Place in freezer. When frozen, unmold, wrap, label, date and return to freezer. Recommended storage time: up to one month
- To serve, cut in serving-size portions and place on lettuce-lined plates. Garnish with spoonfuls of salad dressing and insert slices of unpeeled red apples, skin side up, in a fan shape.
- Makes 12 servings
Note: Apples soften, but give salad a pleasing flavor; celery stays crisp
My dressing for it is half mayo half whipped topping.
I love apple salad, thanks everyone for all of the recipes above

What I like about OpenGL is that u can use outdated code or techniques and it will still run. So I dont have to keep on constantly keeping up with changes(staying on top of changes is exhausting, especially when programming isn't your income). Also sdl is easier, than again lack of books
Then on the other hand, DirectX has all documentation. All the books I wanna read use DirectX. So that's also a big deal. But DirectX keeps on changing. By the time I get the hang of it, directx12 will be out. If I were to write an engine in dx9, it would one heck of a time to get it to dx11 and add its features.
honestly what would u guys do?
also is sdl + Direct3d(just direct3d, no directsound,input, etc etc) possible

Water frustrations at local mobile home park
GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. - Frustrations erupt at a local mobile home park after tenants said their landlord didn't pay for their water, a service included in their rent.
The landlord says there's good reason.
It was a dry Tuesday for the Freshour 13-family mobile home park.
Tenants told us their landlord, Steve Rice, had their water turned off without warning, leaving them in a water-less bind.
"It ain't right. You go in there, you go to work, [have a] hard day; you want to take a shower. You know what, I didn't take a shower. I can't flush my toilet," said George Smith, a tenant we talked to.
Roger Wade and fiance Lisa Britton, two more tenants, felt the same way. "I'm a diabetic heart patient, and I can't take my medicine, because I don't have water to take it," said Britton.
So I asked Rice why there's no water.
"The water's off now, because in the last few weeks there's been several [tenants] that [have] gotten behind. They couldn't pay," said Rice.
According to Rice, not only do 11 of the 13 tenants owe rent, their water usage was out of control, so, he couldn't afford the bill.
"After three months of excessive water bills that should be running $800 a month, they went to $1,400, $1,600, $1,900, and now this last one $2,100," Rice explained.
George Smith and Roger Wade claim they are up-to-date on their rent.
We asked to see receipts, and Smith showed a receipt for $90 for the month of April.
Rice told me Smith still owes $160 more. Smith told News 5 he couldn't find his latest receipt.
Rice confirmed Roger Wade's rent is up to date, but he owes in property damage.
"Ironically, the two that don't owe me [anything] said 'don't worry about it,' because when they moved in, they moved in they needed help, and I let them move in with nothing," said Rice.
No matter who's to blame, there's a call from all parties to keep these water woes from happening again.
We have been told by tenants and Rice that as of 8:30 this evening, the water has been turned back on.

Reviews of this property
We had an incredible time. The Dozzi family were wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and happy with the apartment. The apartment was lovely, spotlessly clean, modern and had been set up very much like a hotel. It's location was perfect as it was in a quiet residential area, very close to amenities and also just a 15 min bus ride to central Venice. I would recommend this apartment to everyone.
Everything was handled in extremely well.
Apartment was clean and nice and it was easy to find. Paolo was very friendly and he had made a Tourist Guide for all of the guests which would say what to do, how to do, how to avoid dissappointments, bus-routes, boat-routes, whole 9 yards.
We were there with two daughters (8 and 5) and everything went very good. Can warmly welcome this accommodation to everyone who wants to go to Venice or Jesolo Aquapark.
Paolo is really very nice person. He gave us a lot of tipps and answered to all our questions. His flat is in very nice area and it is only 5 minutes to bus station. From there it is 15 minutes until venice. The flat is really clean and comfortable. If we will be in enice again we will stay there again. Thanks Paolo. Dimitri and his family.
Everything was ok! The apartment is very quiet, is beautiful, new and well maintained and clean. The furniture and bathroom furnishings are very tasteful and high quality. Also convenient is the parking.
The owner has created a small information pack which was very helpful for us (map, restaurant recommendation, nearest supermarket, switch where you can buy tickets for public transport, ...). The owner is very nice and helpful, without being intrusive!
Very pleasant! Gladly again !!!
Alles hat gepasst! Die Wohnung liegt sehr ruhig, ist wunderschön, neu und gepflegt und sauber. Die Möbel und die Badeinrichtung sind sehr geschmackvoll und hochwertig. Praktisch ist auch der Parkplatz.
Der Vermieter hat eine kleine Info-Mappe erstellt, die für uns sehr hilfreich war (Stadtplan, Restaurantempfehlung, nächster Supermarkt, Schalter an dem man Tickets für den Öffentlichen Nahverkehr kaufen kann,...) . Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, ohne aufdringlich zu sein!
Sehr angenehm! Gerne wieder!!!

La ubicación perfecta si te interesa conoce Venecia, cercano a ella y en un sitio super tranquilo y confortable. Para los que preferimos cocinarnos, tiene supermercado y verduleria cercanos con precos mas accecibles que en Venecia
Recomiendo el luga decididamente.
Our stay at Paolos appartment was really great. The appartment itself was as described in the add and very clean. The furniture was modern, well kept and the kitchen was fully fitted. The best thing about our stay was that our host (Paolo who is really very nice) provided us with a lot of useful information about Venice and gave valuable tips. I would definitively recommend the appartment!!!
Close to the fascinating city of Venice yet far enough from the hustle and bustle of the tourists to enjoy also another Italy. A welcome Italy was our experience. The appartment is well equiped and very clean with all the faclities we would like to have. Paolo gave us a warm welcome, gave us valuable tips on what to find where in the neighborhood and how to get around to Venice-town. The appartment is easy to find and close to various means of the well organised public transport, so within half an hour you can be in Venice. We enjoyed a lot the shops and market around the appartment because there is more to Italy than Venice. Definitely worth your stay!

Is there anyone who is selling Queens this late in the year ?

Is there anyone who is selling Queens this late in the year ?
Phil in Oregon
Maybe someone in Florida or Hawaii?
Having them available and being able to safely ship them in December are two very different issues.
If you want to drive to SF area we still have some in the banks and Mating nucs. As per shipping them this time of year. 4-get-it. Try Hawaii on Monday after you rob a bank. Bet it'll cost you 50 -60 bucks to get one queen.
yes; Harvey in Florida. I just got 5 from him last week. I checked yesterday and three were out of cages and laying. I will check on the other two tomorrow. I will be getting several more from him soon. You can find him here on Beesource. His prices are great and he is planning on going for queens all year long. Finally, we have someone not in Hawaii who can do this. He is done by Miami.
Hey Phil, why are you looking for queens right now? Trying to save a queenless hive? If so, up here on the OR/WA border, I would recommend just shaking it out and saving the comb and honey for a re-start in the spring.
You are quite a bit south of me, and requeening might be viable, I would be interested to hear about success you've had in your area?
Had very bad success with Nuc's. That and cost issues. I have a problem paying over $100. for a Nuc plus shipping. Had 3 Nucs (my bad they were three "packages")that I picked up from Portland, they all died within a month.
I feel much better gathering a local swarm or find a hive that needs re-homing.
I know its not the best time of year for normal swarm gathering, but the bees are very mellow when its cool and are not out foraging. They may need help through January and March.
The one we just collected appeared well settled after 2 years+ in a garage wall, but only gathered maybe 3-5k of bees and no queen was obvious, not even queen cells. This late I would expected more bees and a queen.
Has about 50+ lbs of Comb and Honey that were also saved. This afternoon temps were in the 60's in our valley and the bees were out of all 3 hives we currently have (including the new one) Am hoping they will cleanup the mess I made of their foundation re-homing it into a Super.
Wow - you are warmer than us that's for sure! I agree with the nucs and packages - I finally built up enough this year that I bought a couple queens and made an increase from 2 hives and 2 nucs last spring, to 11 hives and 8 nucs going into the winter. I've done it mostly with swarm collection and splits, as well as a couple trap-outs. I plan on (hopefully) never buying bees again. After 2 years of spreading the word, I'm becoming " the swarm guy" in my area!
Good luck in your queen quest!
This juster bees in Florida.Tele: 870 243 1596 Try them.

Jacqueline Eugenia Ramsdell
$500K endowed chair established in accounting
By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, UTSA College of Business
(Oct. 3, 2007)--A $500,000 endowed chair in accounting recently was established in the UTSA College of Business with a bequest from Jacqueline Eugenia Ramsdell. The Glenn L. and Sally P. Ramsdell Memorial Chair for Accounting was created to honor her parents and to help prepare accountants to guide business growth in San Antonio.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Ramsdell's father, Glenn, was an accountant who came to San Antonio as a wartime pilot. Her mother, Sally, grew up in a ranching family from Kinney County.
A San Antonio native, Ramsdell had a 30-year career as a realtor with Jones-King Realty. She graduated from St. Mary's Hall, Pine Manor College and the University of Texas at Austin. She lived an independent life active in her church, the community and with a network of close friends. She died in April 2006.
"We are grateful for this tribute gift to establish this memorial chair in accounting," said James Groff, professor and chair of the UTSA Department of Accounting. "We will be able to recruit top accounting faculty members to the College of Business to lead efforts in the classroom and with academic research."
A bequest is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to have a lasting impact at UTSA. Planned gifts, or deferred gifts, offer the potential for a substantial contribution from an estate to the university, while allowing the donor to retain access to funds or other assets during his or her lifetime. Alumni and friends who include UTSA in their estate plans become members of the Sombrilla Society.

Klaus Moje is a leading international figure in glass who, since his arrival in Australia, has been highly influential on the development of studio glass. As a teacher and mentor, he has encouraged a new generation of Australian glass artists to explore the possibilities of kiln-forming.
Moje's work in fused mosaic glass, while drawing upon ancient European traditions, is a celebration of modernity, change and inclusiveness. The combination of the visual and technical language of mosaic with the glass-carving and engraving traditions of his native northern Germany has shaped Moje's approach to structure and surface. His expressive and intensely coloured and structured geometric work is a reflection of his visual explorations into the patterns of the underwater world, the landscape and the sky.
The shield-like form and crosshatched decoration allude to Aboriginal carving, but this work also reflects Moje's interest in the particular visual organisation of Australian indigenous art.

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Existing from 1919 to 1933 the Bauhaus school came to represent a variety of new currents in art, architecture and design as new forms of expression flourished in post-war Europe. Thus in the works of Klee and Kandinsky, both of whom taught at the school, we see the emergence of a style in which form is abstracted and colour used to expressive effect. Despite the brief life of the school, which shut itself down under pressure from the Nazis, its influence continued as those connected with the school spread its ideas around the globe. Our range of prints captures this exciting moment in which existing barriers broke down and artists redefined what was possible in their newfound freedom.

Just over 25 years ago, one of the reactors at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant suffered a meltdown. It was the worst disaster in the history of nuclear power. Four hundred times more radioactive material was released than at Hiroshima. It is difficult to estimate the actual deaths indirectly attributable to the incident, or the impact on health and life. At the very least, several hundred direct deaths have been confirmed, and it was a crippling blow to the Russian economy.
Approximately 135,000 people had to be evacuated from the surrounding areas. An uninhabited zone with a 20 mile radius known as the "zone of alienation" surrounds the concrete and lead sarcophagus that nuclear officials constructed on the site in order to contain the radiation. It has been estimated that this zone will be unsafe for human habitation for 20,000 years.
"Chernobyl Diaries" has the gall to create a horror movie about young people who recklessly sight-see this area… as if we wouldn't want to see them killed.

Okay, almost a year ago i wrote about my votives driving me crazy. Not coming out of the molds, and cracking off the nice fluted edge.
I solved the problem! Actually y'all solved the problem, I solved how i got myself into the problem!
the block has been lifted and left the building with Elvis...lol
i got to making candles again and dang it if it was not working again. I was thinking God just wanted me to quit this business.
So online i went, searched again. Found a forum where John and sheri post on about candles and there were more people who had the same prob.
The consenses was the wax was to hot.
So off to the drawning board again. Realizing that i had a show in a couple of days, I had to figure out problem quickly. Any how got side tracked, and towards the end of the evening decided to pour one votive at the recommended temp. It worked! I wrote down the directions of temps in my book so as to not forget.
Any how when i first started a couple of years ago, i was pouring really nice votives, no problems. i could not figure out what changed.
Today I did.
I had bought a candle melting thermometer at a craft store. bought a few actually. As i was using them, i noticed inside the therometer there was temps for pouring in different molds. Metal molds was 185-200 F
There was my dumb mistake, listening to the therometer.
thought this info might help someone else. Any how thanks for the help back then when i had a wax melt down.
How come the slap up side the head icon works in the chat but not here?

Jess Garnitz, Assoc. AIA, a designer at the Boston-based architecture firm ADD, organized reGEN Boston: Energizing Urban Living, an ideas competition that asked entrants to balance resiliency demands, walkable urbanism, multigenerational occupants, and the city's status as a transportation hub for a 21st century city. Sponsored by the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) with help from the BSA's Emerging Professionals Network (which she chairs) and the BSA's Housing Committee (co-chaired by ADD principal B.K. Boley), reGEN Boston comes at a pivotal time, says Garnitz, "when we need strategies that make sense."
We wanted this competition to take Boston as a case study, as a way of getting at universal urban issues. The problems Boston faces—coastal location, driving nightmare, critical levels of density on already almost fully developed land—are problems that other cities face. So repurposing buildings and turning density into a positive element is at the core of what we asked entrants to do.
Boston is growing, but so is the desire for more flexible living arrangements. People want proximity to all of the things a city offers, and they want a level of comfort at every stage of their lives. City developers sometimes leave out the three-bedroom and the four-bedroom floor plans because they're not moneymakers in the ways that studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom plans are. The current housing market doesn't address the different stages of life that everyone encounters—you have different needs as a single person living in the city than you do as a member of a family of four, or as two empty-nesters who love their home city and want to stay connected to it.
We asked entrants to look at one of two sites—both on the waterfront, both currently owned by the city. One is in Boston's North End and the other is in East Boston. A lot of entries focused on views. Some incorporated water-taxi terminals in or next to the buildings. Some incorporated plazas and promenades into their site plans as a way of creating a more seamless connection between public and private space. There was one great entry for the East Boston site that divided the site in half—one half was a marshland with nature walks, and the other half tackled the housing requirements.
The housing climate spawned this competition, as did ADD's goal to create more opportunities for younger architects who live and work in a rapidly changing city. Take, for example, the fact that you can now build micro-units within one mile of a T station, where previously they were only allowed in the so-called "Innovation District." So it's an interesting time—we have a new mayor with new goals and new desires. All of these things aligned for a fresh conversation about Boston's future.

[quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="JPizzack"][quote user="Morehead State"]I haven't listened to Rush Limbaugh since 2000. He's a dope.
Most of my news on TV I get from MSNBC. In every hour there I hear about how racially motivated this crime was. That George Zimmerman is a racist. That he only followed this kid because he was black.

Then we see the usual suspects calling out our racist country (Rev Al, Jesse Jackson, members of the Congressional Black Caucus etc...).

This entire incident is what it is because of the race factor. I'm just not sure what you are watching, Kase.

I think when Kase was referring to public opinion, i think he MEANT the likes of Al Sharpton, and Jackson, because nobody in their right mind actually gives a damn what those *******s say.
Everyone is racist, whether VERY, or just a little bit....it's everywhere.

Martin Bashir, Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow....even Joe Scarborough, are claiming that this was a racially motivated crime.

And lets not forget our friendly neighborhood Black Panther Party.

For Kase to say that he has seen NO racially charged behavior in this is naive at best.
[/quote]You misquoting and misconstruing my words is cheap and petty at best
You spoke of racism and I said how this is bringing people of all colors together at the rallies but you say its all 'black victims and rich white preppies'

To whom it may concern :) ....
I gave my notice to TurboLinux. I'll leave all the ugly bits out. By September 1st, I'll be devoting the majority of my time to my system management project. Yes, it is OpenSource... www.open-it.org still needs to get the backend up, and it will have to wait for my arrival at my new work place in September. Where? Stanford University.
I worked there for 5 years in EE/CS, and while at TurboLinux kept some involvement. I hope that along with the directory services project I will regain some stake in Stanford's own Linux distro, SULinux. I helped put it together with one other staff member there, and with my credentials at TurboLinux, I don't see why I shouldn't be somewhat involved :) Founders/ authors rights, right?
Now that I will be "free" corporate wise, my diary entries from hence forth should be meatier, and more frequent. Running your own OS project tends to give you complete freedom of expression, not just in code, but in true ability to speak your mind. I'm tired of having too much in my head but alas not being able to speak to a soul.
(Joe does a little dance to demonstrate)
Ever get that sour feeling in your stomach...
Urgh, I hate when shit happens. In any case, Open-IT will receive a glorious make over as soon as the back end servers are up and running. Still waiting for some connectivity. The current server for Open-IT is a static place holder. Give it another month...
Sad to see that I couldn't spark enough interest in my article. Oh well. That's what happens when you leave it too vague. I just didn't want to pollute it too much with my ideas.
Hello to Adam Shostack and Elise Shapiro. Its a conspiracy I tell ya (grin)
I've also started up project site. Nothing there yet, but its a modest beginning. Check Open-IT out!
Just posted my article here...
That's all for now
Thought for the day: Always follow the path that maintains one's level of motivation and momentum.
For all of those who have asked about how things are at TurboLinux, the simple answer is as busy as ever, with an added bit of focus. The industry and the markets always help on focusing a company as well as the individual.
Onto more important things...
I'm still floundering on one bit. LDAP makes for a great top-down heirarchically controlled directory service with centralized control. However, there is a lot of fore-thought required, and seeding an ldap server for an organization is daunting. Its even more daunting to figure out how to seed a low leaf among multiple ldap servers (say a workgroup server). The only effective bottom-to-mid upward solution to date has been Netinfo, which lets the local cluster define domains and then one can tie them together after the fact. For a NOS -- management tools are key, but you have to be able to aptly manage your local data. Otherwise you end up with complex tools to manage impossibly complex data. One can only hope for an extremely high degree of centralization in an organization to limit this problem.
My feelings (which to a degree have been related to Luke Howard -- lukeh here), are that maybe a combination of the two is necessary. The equivalent un*x workstation/server mayhap needs an improved, secure Netinfo style authentication and management system, with adapters and tie-ins into higher level LDAP directory services. Agents must exist to help propogate loosely managed info into the larger centrally controlled LDAP DSes, and likewise global sentings can by profile be approved into the local realms of the clusters.
This could get ugly. But unless the end user or group manager can effectively manage his applications and data, directory services are a large undertaking that can quickly become a hindrance and would be summarily dropped.
What do you think? You can email myself as always with your ideas.
I'm also hoping to apply these a bit more back at Stanford. Should get more involved in my co-authored Linux distribution, SULINUX . I've wondered off from that for quite a bit...

At least, that's what I heard on VH1.
But whether you're a real O.G. or just an arm-chair M.C., there's no denying that last year's Def
Jam: Vendetta placed style way before substance. The result was a mediocre wrestling game in a do-rag and some bling. While fancy finishing moves and famous faces made Vendetta fun to watch, its lazy combo system and wimpy Story mode got old faster than a St. Ides forty.
And like so many rappers, instead of buckling down and reinventing itself as a serious contender, Def
Jam: Fight for NY piles on even more style, story, bitches, and bling. Surprisingly, a lot of this new stuff is really cool. Coupled with Aki's so-so wrestling engine, FFNY's considerable stylistic features keep the game flowing for much longer than the original. But all the Flava Flaves, tattoos, and cage matches in the world can't change the fact that, ultimately, FFNY is more about looking def than being def.
The game's modes include exactly what you'd expect from a wrestling game, minus
the ability to go online. There's
a main Story mode, 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 Battles, and giant Free-For-Alls. However,
you only start out with a few playable arenas - all the rest have to be
unlocked via Story mode.
FFNY's story picks up where Vendetta left off, with D-Mobb getting taken to jail. As the cruiser he's in rolls down the street, a big ass humvee comes out of nowhere and smashes it, allowing D-Mobb to escape with a mystery man played by you. After the break, one of the cops sits at a table and tries to describe your features to a Sketch Artist. Then the game cuts to D-Mobb's base, where you're introduced to D-Mobb's crew. Since his arrest, all of D-Mobb's territory has been taken over by the evil Crow, played by Snoop Dogg. In order to reclaim the territory, you and the crew have to win it back through a series of high-stakes fights at each locale.
The Sketch Artist is FFNY's version of the character creator,
and it's definitely one of the better new features. You can customize your
features including his height, weight, head shape, eyes, mouth, nose, ears, skin
tone, hair and voice, and even though there aren't always a ton of features to
choose from, most of them are nicely exaggerated and they all fit together on
your fighter's face incredibly well.
We decided to put the Sketch Artist to the test and create a short fat man with
pouty lips and a falsetto voice. We named him Brutus. Not only did Brutus look
perfectly ridiculous in the ring, he also looked amazing in every cut-scene.
Seeing our homemade Star Wars kid with an afro squeal at scary looking thugs, "I'm
about to make you my bitch!" made every fight that much more compelling. Word
to your motherboards.
you decide on whether or not you want your fighter to be a cut, dangerous thug,
a blue-eyed softy, or something in between, you can head into the shop district
and spend any money you've earned on a haircut, tattoo, new threads, some bling,
or a little training with Henry Rollins. Everything other than training costs
money that you earn from fighting, and new cuts, tats, and bling are unlocked
with practically every victory.
Whereas Brutus started out with a huge afro, an orange tank-top and some red
Chuck Taylors, he quickly got serious and transitioned into a dark phase with
a biker jacket, some leather pants and a huge gold chain. After a good many
fights, Brutus became sick of his pretty image, so he shaved his head for practicality's
sake and covered his torso with menacing Yakuza-style tattoos. This may sound
silly, but tweaking your character's image is one of the most interesting and
involving aspects of FFNY's game. If looks could kill, this game would be on
Of course, to fuel your playa lifestyle, you gotta fight. Before you get down
and dirty, though, you need to pick a style. FFNY one-ups its predecessor by
expanding the fighting system to include more than just grappling. There are
five styles to choose from: Street Fighting, Kick-Boxing,
Martial Arts, Wrestling, and Submissions. While the basic controls are the
same for each class, kick-boxers have longer kicking combos, street-fighters
have a knock-out punch, submissions experts can eliminate enemies by jacking
up a limb, and wrestlers just kind of suck.
Fortunately, you can learn up to three different disciplines. Brutus picked up
Wrestling and Street Fighting, gaining a four-punch combo and a badass Haymaker
punch that looked wonderful, had a nasty impact, and dealt huge damage. After
many knockout victories, Brutus decided to add some speed to his game by picking
up the Martial Arts discipline. But upon doing so, he forgot how to throw a
Haymaker and there was no way to get it back. It turns out you can't mix and
match between disciplines; whichever one you just picked up is pretty much
the one you're
However, most of this is academic since very little skill is required to win
matches in FFNY. Instead, you just have to learn
the rules of the knockdown to succeed: if you knock your opponent down once,
you'll be
able to pick him up and do another bad thing to him before he recovers. After
being knocked down a second time, he'll recover instantly…unless you knock
him down with a Blazin' move (special move that can be used when you fill
up a momentum meter). In this case, you'll be able to pick him up again and
can use a power punch or kick to knock them into a wall or car and execute another power
move on him there, as it always takes longer to recover if you get knocked
into something. Following this pattern, you'll be able to get off four high-powered
attacks on your opponent without their being able to respond. It's simply
not a very well-balanced fighting game due to its formulaic engine design.
this sounds repetitive, it is. And that's a shame, too, because FFNY features
some awesome fighting venues with extremely interactive environments. The game
looks great and pretty much the same on all three console systems, with better
models and animations than last year's game. Some odd framerate issues crop
up from time to time on all consoles as well, but it's not particularly distractingl.
Besides, it's all about the kinetic joy of whipping on people. You
can beat people down with weapons taken from the crowd, slam heads into jukeboxes,
and even throw opponents off rooftops and through windshields. The game is
filled with memorable moments of pure roughneck cruelty, and the hit detection
lends an uncanny element of realism to some of the game's
most brutal maneuvers. It's
too bad the fighters themselves aren't nearly as dynamic.
As you cheaply win more and more fights at these neat arenas, you'll accumulate development points that can be cashed in at Rollins' Gym for new Blazin' moves, new disciplines, or better attributes. Your attributes include upper strength, lower strength, speed, toughness, and health, yet the effects of these things are never explained anywhere. Does upper strength have any bearing on grappling? The world will never know.
Of course, FFNY wouldn't be a Def Jam game without a score of
hip-hop legends, as well as… Omar Epps? That's right, this year's cast of rhymesters
is complimented by a smattering of random celebs including Epps, the ubiquitous
and sleazy Carmen Electra, and random movie tough-guy Danny Trejo. While you've
got to respect Trejo's
right to be in a game like this due to his talent as a troublemaker, his inclusion
makes the absence of actual Def Jam legends like Run DMC and The Beastie Boys
all the more conspicuous.
The music, unsurprisingly, is strictly old and new school hip hop, which makes
sense since this is basically a promotional product for Def Jam as much as
it's a game. The voice-acting is actually pretty good throughout and the robust
sound effects lend oomph to the brawling.
Def Jam: Fight for New York is an extremely violent, bloody,
foul-mouthed and visceral fighter filled with plenty of style.
Unfortunately, good looks, a cool character creator and some sweet environments
are commodities that lose their luster after several hours of play. With Fight
for New York, the Def Jam series has definitely gotten better at talking the
talk, now it just needs to practice its funky walk.

Body found along I-70 believed to have been cyclist
Police say victim was 36-year-old Columbia man
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia police are investigating what happened to a man whose body found along Interstate 70 Saturday afternoon.
The man is being identified only as a 36-year-old Columbia man. His name was withheld Saturday night pending DNA examination.
Sgt. Curtis Perkins told ABC 17 News officers got a couple of calls about a suspicious boot and lots of blood on the highway near the Lake of the Woods exit (130 mile marker) just before 1 p.m.
The man's body was found near a bicycle and Perkins said investigators were treating the case as a cyclist-vehicle collision. It was not yet clear Saturday when the crash happened.
Police said in a news release the victim had been wearing a dark brown sweatshirt, black shirt, blue jeans and boots. Investigators also found a black backpack and wallet at the scene.
The investigation Saturday caused lane closures on westbound Interstate 70, slowing traffic.
The commute was hampered by a rollover crash in the same area during the investigation. At one point, westbound traffic had backed up into Callaway County.
The body had been turned over to the Boone County Medical Examiner Saturday night and police were continuing an investigation.
Columbia police said officers had received a complaint about a dead deer along Interstate 70 at the 128 mile marker at 3:59 a.m. Saturday. Highway Patrol troopers forwarded the truck driver to CPD and that driver met officers to describe what he thought he hit.
It was unclear Saturday if those incidents were related, according to officers.
Stay with ABC 17 News and abc17news.com for updates as they become available.


text: Just put in the new spark plugs and wires as well as cold air intake. Was idling roughly before and immediately after the install all seemed well. This morning it was about 10 degrees out and I fired it up. Very rough idle, loud ping noise, I guess that's what misfiring sounds like? Revs were up and down, once I'm moving down the road it's fine. Come to a stop light and the revs dip again feeling like its going to stall. Sound like an idle air valve problem? Just bought the damn thing and the check engine light was on for the catalytic converters. So I'm not sure if the CEL is on now for something else.

Felice Frankel
John Bush is associate professor of applied mathematics at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In his research, he uses
experimental and theoretical techniques to elucidate fundamental
problems in fluid dynamics. I first saw some of John's still
photographs of water responding to various forces and since then
have paid close attention to his stunning images. I am always
delighted to be reminded that research can be presented with
both mathematical and visual beauty.
F. F. Can you tell us what brought you to
investigating the motion of water striders?
J. B. Much of my recent work in fluid mechanics has
been focused on flows dominated by the influence of surface tension.
I have long been looking for outstanding problems in the biological
sciences in which surface tension is important. When I learned of
Denny's paradox—the assertion that infant water striders
should be unable to move—I realized that the dynamics of
water-walking insects was just such a problem.
F. F. "Denny's paradox?"
J. B. It was generally believed that water striders
relied on waves to transfer momentum to the underlying fluid. A
standard result from hydrodynamic theory indicates that, in order to
generate waves, an object moving at the surface must exceed the
minimum wave speed (about 23 centimeters per second at an air-water
interface). Infant water striders' peak leg speeds may be less than
this critical value. It was thus thought that they would be unable
to generate waves, unable to transfer momentum to the underlying
fluid, and so unable to move. The fact that infant water striders
can move resulted in the conundrum known as Denny's paradox.
F. F. How did you capture this particular still image?
J. B. It was shot by my students (David Hu and
Brian Chan) with our standard digital Sony still camera. The
2-centimeter-deep fluid layer was contained within a shallow
plexiglass tank placed on a light table, which gave the fluid its
apparent luminescence. We were hoping for the strider to follow a
straight line, and so leave a linear trail of vortices. The pattern
of the thymol blue, the path taken by the strider, and the resulting
lines were simply fortuitous. Needless to say, many such photos were
taken, but this was our favorite.
F. F. What kind of information do you get from
measuring the shape and size of the vortices?
J. B. The form of the vortices, in addition to
their speed, indicates the magnitude of the momentum that they
transfer. In order for water striders to move, they must transfer
momentum to the underlying fluid; it was previously thought that
they did so through waves. The point of our study was to show that
vortices rather than waves are responsible for the dominant momentum
transfer in the wake of the strider.
F. F. Much of your other work captures phenomena
through photography. Would you say that you are engaged both
visually and mathematically as you first approach a question ... or
does the math come later?
J. B. All of my research has its origins in our
laboratory, and is focused on elucidating new physical
(specifically, fluid mechanical) phenomena. Photography is the
simplest means by which to clearly present the flow of interest to
the reader. The mathematical modeling is both motivated and
constrained by our experimental observations, and the two typically
evolve in tandem. However, in my work the mathematical modeling is
rarely if ever as elegant as the phenomenon of interest.

Scene from Steven Carter's "Diario de Barcelona"
Art department hosts Sept 19 video screening
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Sept. 18, 2007)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History will present the second of four fall video screenings from 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 19 in the Durango Building Southwest Room (1.124) at the Downtown Campus. As part of this semester's video art class, the short-film screenings are free and open to the public.
With a portrait theme, the screening will focus on hybrid media, or video that is out-of-the-box and off-the-screen. The video style often incorporates installation sculpture and performance.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

The screening will include a video diary by UTSA student Steven Carter, "Diario de Barcelona," which was created in Spain during last spring's "mini-mester." The graduate student in printmaking was accompanied on the study-abroad tour by other art graduate students, Professor Judith Sobre and Assistant Professor Leslie Raymond.
"Diario de Barcelona," a three-minute digital video, depicts the artist's pinhole photography process from the consumption of packaged foods to the building of cameras from those packages to the photographic exposures and images created.
"These screenings grow out of a combination of my teaching and a desire to reach out to the local art communities," said Raymond. "They are programmed specifically for my classes, but then screened at the Downtown Campus and open to the public. My upper-division art video students are embarking on video self-portrait projects. In the video and new-media courses that I teach, I am always striving to make connections with the bigger picture of the history of fine-arts practice, and this is a good subject to do it with."
The "Portrait" screenings will include an early work by William Wegman along with "El Mundo L.A." (1992) by Harry Gamboa Jr., "House: After 5 Years of Living" (c. 1955) by Charles and Ray Eames, "In Order Not to Be Here" (2002) by Deborah Stratmen, "Crowdog" (1984/1998) by Vanessa Renwick, "Exquisite Corpse" (1978) by Earnest Gusella, "Nadja in Paris" (1964) by Eric Rohmer, "The Movie Movie (Excerpt): Donald Trump, Business Man" (c. 2005) by Errol Morris, "If Every Girl Had a Diary" (1990) by Sadie Benning, "Media" (1980) by Zbig Rybczynski and "A Painful Glimpse Into My Writing Process" (2005) by Chel White.
Upcoming screening presentations are "Expanded Cinema/Hybrid Video," Wednesday, Oct. 10, and "Indy Media," Monday, Nov. 5, presented by Tish Stringer from Houston with screenings of works from her collection.
For more information, contact Leslie Raymond, assistant professor of new media, at (210) 458-4352.
