Abilene Reporter-News, The (Newspaper) - September 3, 1962, Abilene, Texas T "WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES W E SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT B2ND YEAR, NO. 78 ABILENE. TEXAS, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER PAGES IN ONE SECTION Auodatml Pmt (ff) PAGE ONE Katharyn Putt] BAUINGER Baliin- jer High School teachers were having their first faculty meet- ing Friday and Principal Joe Forester mentioned that some teachers were teaching in the system in which they themselves were schooled. Some teachers once taught come of the other teachers, he noted. Miss Marryatt Smith looked about the faculty. She could go one better. She not only taught come of the teachers. She taught the parents of some of the teachers. "Grider Hays, new vocational agriculture t e a c h e she thought "he's a 'grand- child' I taught his mother and father.. .some other teach- ers' parents, too..." There is a peculiar stability about Ballinger High and it is Miss Smith. A native of Ballinger. she at- tended school here. After col- lege education she returned to become a teacher. She has not missed a term since. This will be her 52nd con- secutive year as a Ballinger High teacher. Students, it seems, divided teachers into two distinct classes, "snap" and "rough." Miss Smith doesn't consider herself either. "I'm not paid to be so- tailed she says. On the other hand, she is not over- ly demanding. "I love the students ..T want them to that is her teaching philosophy. "We don't have a better Principal Forester re- ports. Miss Smith's students have excellent records in advanced work in the subjects she teach- es: math, Latin and, formerly, German. That fact is well known. "We have to fight students off her Principal For- ester says, to keep the size of them under control. "Students want her as a teacher." "Never saw a place without children have so many children neighbors say about her home. She loves them and it works both ways. Miss Smith got her bachelor's from St. Mary's at Dallas and did graduate work at the Uni- versity of Chicago and Uni- versity of Colorado. She has col- lege credits for advanced de- grees but has never taken them for she has chosen graduate work which she wanted, which helps her in teaching. She knows Latin, German, Spanish, French, Greek and, she says, "a little to be a teacher of English when needed. Miss Smith's father, a Har- vard graduate and a lawyer, attended the Ballinger town lot sale in 1888 and moved his wife here shortly thereafter. So her roots are deep. And she has been involved at one time or another in most civic and cultural affairs and in First Presbyterian work. She is also an active book reviewer. Currently she teaches Latin, plane and solid geometry and trig, alternately with solid. She also sponsors the Student Council, Honor Society, Future Teachers (a club named for her) and Latin Club. "We offered to lighten her load a Principal Forester (aid. "But she didn't want it light- ened. She enjoys it all too much." Teaching standards have been raised with teacher the years lince she started, Miss Smith notes. Teaching techniques have also changed. "That's good keeps you from getting she says. And now she starts Year No. 12 and with as much enthu- siasm as in any of the ether SI. NEWS INDEX IICTlON A Cento '11 11 Thousands Killed by Quake Death Toll May Rise to KU KLUX KLAN IN ACTION Five hooded Ku Klux Klansmen posed for this exclusive picture Saturday night as they burned a cross during part of a state- wide demonstration against racial activities in Louisiana. It was reportedly the first such mass demonstration by the group in the state in 30 years. Two of the klansmen shown wore red robes.

At least 75 towns and vil lages were reported leveled in a broad triangle west of Tehran. Officials hesitated to confirm or deny the unofficial reports of thousands dead and injured. But Sunday night an Iranian govern- ment statement said casualties were much higher than at first thought. The government rasied its estimate of the death toll to on reports from just four of the stricken communities.

A Klan spokesman said the cross-burnings were intended to show that the Klan has reacti- vated and expected to make its weight felt nationally in racial matters. "We want everyone to know that the Ku Klux Klan has re- activiated in a klans- man said, "And we are publicly demonstrating our resentment to integration by cross-burning. "Our forefathers fought and died for their principles and be- iefs and we stand ready to do the same, if necessary, to preserve our way of life." Crosses were burned in front of at least three Negro schools in Hodge and near Bosco at a Ne- gro minister's house in Bastrop and on the bridge connecting Mon- roe with West Monroe. In Baton Rouge, five fire trucks were called out to douse a four- loot cross that blazed in front of the 32-story state Capitol building.

Technically, much of the ma- terial and many of the men flow- ing into Cuba have come from Soviet bloc countries, such as Czechoslovakia, and it is possible the announcement indicates some step up in shipments directly from the Soviet Union. But another possibility is that the Moscow communique was put out merely so Cuba's economics minister, Ernesto Guevara, would have something to show for his just-concluded visit to the Soviet capital. A State Department spokes man said that the Moscow state- ment is an attempt to make what the Soviet Union has been doing sound legitimate.

I haven't sewn anything in a while, but it has been freezing lately and a new duvet seemed like it would be a fun project… despite the fact that every design from Bob Moon looks really 80's tastic.
I haven't sewn anything in a while, but it has been freezing lately and a new duvet seemed like it would be a fun project… despite the fact that every design from Bob Moon looks really 80's tastic.
Cosplay wise I've still been kinda MIA. Busy with other things. :/
Still trying to finish my trade with Sean and I finally finished Bob's winter school uniform- because that thing has been sitting unfinished in my closet for over a year. Pathetically enough I've made that skirt four times now and the top three times. How is it that the easiest things seem to give me the most trouble? And how is any of this a sane hobby? Really, sometimes I wonder.
The battle with my new wig has been pathetically unsuccessful. I just don't like the way it looks. At this point I'm considering forgetting the new wig altogether and just putting bob moon wig efforts towards revamping the old wig.
Other than the ongoing battle with bob's wig and and the never ending attempt to find time and motivation to get photos- I have a trade to finish with my friend Sean and work to do on a costume for Otakon. So, hopefully it rains this weekend- I'd like to get as much done as I can way ahead of time.
Haven't been doing much cosplay stuff lately because of other work, I did grab a few pictures of my old ball costume before it gets packed away to storage foreverrrr… and then here's some more random photos of the Sera Myu stuff that has taken over parts of the apartment.
Last fall I remade my Myu Eternal costume over completely- since my old one was really horrible, and I still haven't gotten any photos of it. ;_;
I finally gave in to my nit-pickings and bought a new Sailor Moon wig, which means hopefully next month I can get good pictures of all of those Usagi/Sailor Moon/Serenity costumes that have been piling up in my closet, yay! I'm at a bit of a standstill this month costume-wise while I'm busy with regular work.
Kelly and I were hoping to make it to the New York Cherry Blossom Festival next month, but plans for that fell through. Bummer.
Sera Myu photoshoot is being moved again to sometime in April, or possibly May.
More dying. Forgot that the fabric for Uranus's boob-bow needed to be dyed. Seriously, they need to sell fabrics in more colors, now my hands look like they've been dipped in toxic pee. The whole wearing latex gloves to dye stuff hasn't worked so well for me, I usually manage to stick my whole arm into dye-tinted water at some point and make a nice hand-dye-marinade in the glove. Mmmmm tasty.
Finished my silly Neptune shoes, which somehow took the same amount of time as making a bodysuit. Figured out another way of attaching the sailor collars, so I think I'll mess around with that, hopefully it looks better than my moon collar.
I've been shoving food in my face like it's going out of style, so here's hoping I fit into this costume this weekend. Filet mignon, banana stuffed french toast with strawberry butter, and stuffed mushrooms yuuuuuuuum. Man, now I want a snack.
Due to stuff, our Myu shoot is being moved to the weekend of the 29th. I had a test run of sorts in the studio on Monday and the space is super fantastic. It's huge and bright and I can move around without fear of crashing into five different things. Excellent! I'm unnaturally excited to take these photos, and I'm not sure if it's because I miss camera playtime or because I want to be done with Myu so badly.
Also started sewing costumes for Anime Boston. I dyed the fabric for Uranus and Neptune's bows last week and ended up putting it through a dye bath three times to get the right color. They couldn't have just sold a nice navy fabric, huh? My hands are a fabulous shade of zombie blue now.
Almost done with all of the Sera Myu things, it feels like it's taken forever. Our photoshoot is scheduled for the weekend of the 15th, I have no idea if it's going to take us one or two days to get all of these photos but I get the feeling it's going to be kind of grueling. Luckily I've acquired studio space to use for it, which is downright awesome. I've learned that using my big photo backdrop is kind of comical in the apartment (not that that stops me). Still not sure how Kelly and I are going to transport all of the costumes, makeup, camera equipment, etc. to the studio. Man, logistics kill me.
I've been saving a bunch of our progress pictures from this whole Sera Myu craze- there are kind of a ton of them. It's easy to forget the amount of work that went into these until I look back on the progress pictures and remember all of the pieces to each costume. Also, I forgot I have a half made Chibiusa wig. I swear my costume ADD is getting worse.

Date of Stay: March, 2009
This is a small Old Florida style park. No pool or big recreation hall. The rest rooms and showers are clean and well maintained. The owner (husband & wife) are very friendly and welcome all. Some evenings guests gather in the common building for music or games or tv. The wireless worked fine for us in a site on the water. The island and area has great fishing, kayaking, touring and awesome places to eat. The locals wave to everyone. If you like clams this is the place.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This was a return visit to this park. Yikes! The road in is through a junk yard car lot industrial park and a bit scary at first. Park is located on a great bike trail that goes from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs. With regards to the rest rooms and showers only half of them worked and they are in need of up dating. The hot tubs were closed when we were there last year and should have been closed this time too. Not very clean. Sites were dirt, many under trees, all covered with leaves and there was no prep of sites between guests. Wireless was for fee and didn't work. The park has a great location (only near the beach) on a bayou, bike trail & close to places to eat/shop. The site fees are too high and they charge excessive tax due to having cabins. Don't expect too much here for your money other than "location".

The Troubled Revolutionary Path in Egypt: A Return to the Basics
While many in Egypt are mourning the "death of the revolution" and the ensuing "military coup," it is time to highlight, or re-highlight some points:
2- The military junta from the start of the "transitional process" has been in control, and are using all their constitutional, legal, and political weapons to shape the process, and they did not hesitate to use bullets when their "soft power" failed.
3- The military junta are the most keen among all the political players to "handover power" to a civilian government. As of the time of this writing, and over the past week, military APCs and trucks have been roaming the streets, handing out statements, and encouraging people to vote in the second round. Similar propaganda messages, both explicit and indirect, are aired continuously on the state-run TV. The junta wants to "leave," head back to the barracks, with legal, political, and constitutional assurances that their position, privileges, control over the economy, and decision making, remain unchanged. In short, they dream of the old "Turkish model."
4- No revolution gets settled in 18 days or 18 months. If we all agree that this is a war with the regime that will last for several years, then why everyone is suddenly panicking and saying it's over? Did anyone expect that the revolution would be one linear curve of victories? We are definitely going through a catastrophic period, when the counterrevolution is on the offense, but by no means should we expect the revolution to be finished. How many times did we hear or read over the past year and a half, "it's over! the revolution is defeated," only to be surprised with a resurgence of street protests, occupations, and labor strikes that force the junta to retreat?
5- This revolution still does not have leadership, simply because none of the existing political groups has enough grassroot support on the ground to direct it. Hence, any political agreement between SCAF and any political force with the aim of diffusing street protests or labor strikes is futile.
6- Labor strikes, which embody the only hope for toppling the regime, never continue in a linear upward curve. Just like street protests, the strikes also ebb and flow. Yet, the fact remains: The strike wave has entered its sixth continuous year, with no prospects of seeing the industrial actions end, simply because the structural, objective reasons for the outbreak of strikes are still there, and no presidential candidate, nor a prophet can solve these problems as long as the neoliberal regime remains in place.
7- The labor strikes, though not under a unified leadership, have witnessed repeated direct confrontations with the army, anti-military junta sentiments and chants, as well as friction with the Muslim Brotherhood or Salafi members of parliament who tried to diffuse industrial actions in their area, or did not bother to intervene to help the workers in the first place.
8- The Islamist opposition itself is full of contradictions and internal splits. The dismal performance in the (now dissolved) parliament, collaboration with the junta over the past year, and failure to achieve any concrete national gains for the people during the short lived defunct parliament, could only mean the process of disillusionment among sections of the poor and the youth in those groups has the potential to accelerate.
9- There are good reasons to expect some rough months ahead of us. The (not really that) dissolved National Democratic Party apparatus had thrown its weight behind Shafiq in these elections, and party members felt comfortable to come out of the closet after disappearing from public eyes for a year. Mubarak's security leaders have all been acquitted, and every day we receive news of more police officers and corporals acquitted of all charges related to killing protesters. Though the emergency law officially was lifted two weeks ago, the Justice Minister has granted military police and intelligence officers the authority to arrest civilians. Without a parliament or a constitution standing, the coming president Shafiq is expected to carry out sweeping security crackdowns on democracy activists, opposition groups, and revolutionaries, with the full backing of SCAF.
10- This coming wave of repression will not finish off the revolution. Again, it will take several years for the dust to settle. The revolutionary camp lacks the essential tools to fight back, in other words, a national organization for the most advanced sections of the labor and youth movements, and a coherent united front that coordinates between the different revolutionary groups in the capital and the provinces. And in such tough times, when the counterrevolution is in full steam, the need for such an organization becomes more urgent.

i completely agree with you
With all due respect, we should reject not only the public narrative and terminology of the events in Egypt - but even the parameters drawn by the media (be it Al Jazeera, Al Arabaya or Channel One). 1. The crowd in Tahrir Square did not remove Mubarak. The military - by refusing to turn Tahrir into Tianamen - removed Hosni. As you correctly noted, they had no problems shooting protesters after Feb. 11. But for their own sake. Not Hosni's. 2. The coup didn't take place in June 2012. It didn't take place on February 11, 2011. It took place in 1952 and the same military junta has been in power ever since. Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak were all the same man. Regardless of policy, the military was not to be crossed. When they felt Jimmy threatening their lucrative grip on Egypt's resources, that's when they turned on Daddy Mubaraks. 3. There is no revolutionary leadership because there is no revolution. At best, there was an uprising by a small minority of the urban areas in Egypt. On the day of the largest turnout nationwide we did not see 3% of the Egyptian population in the streets. Compare this to the numbers throughout eastern Europe's post communism revolts. 4. From personal experience with the police in Tahrir in Nov. 2011, I can - with all confidence - say the same people have had control of the country throughout this production.
An article that elaborates the current situation from a realistic manner. I tottaly agree with Hossam and I do remember when the 2010 parliamentary elections were being faked and gamal mubarak was expected to succeed his father, a point at which the regime thought that they are on the eve of victory when in fact they were making people deepely frustrated and angry. Now people are angry and it's anger that triggers revolution. We are now approaching second wave of the revoloution, just get ready for it!

I must confess that I had hoped for a different winner – not a head of state or human rights campaigner, but an ordinary, 48-year-old woman, whose distinction was that she had lost her son this year at the tender age of 26.click | email | tweet

SearchAll Refuges
Northern New Mexico National Wildlife RefugesHeadquarters for the Las Vegas, Rio Mora, and Maxwell National Wildlife Refuges. The hours, when staff are available, are: Monday-Thursday from 8:00 am-4:30 pm, and Fridays from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.Here, the friendly staff and volunteers will let you know what's happening on the refuge. This is also where the business of the refuge is conducted. Due to a smaller staff, our refuge office and Visitor Center may be closed during some of the designated hours, as employees are in the field. You may call 505-425-3581, before coming to the refuge, to assure that a staff member is available. Accessible restrooms are available to the public, including after hours at the lower headquarters parking lot.
Enjoying the Refuge:The refuge trails are open all year during daylight hours (sunrise to sunset). No entrance fee is required. Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge offers wildlife-dependent activities, including wildlife watching, hunting, hiking, wildlife photography, special events and educational and interpretive programs.
Directions: The refuge is located about six miles southeast of Las Vegas, New Mexico. From Interstate 25, take exit #345 and then turn east on State Highway 104 for one and a half miles. Turn south on State Highway 281 for about four miles and follow the signs to the refuge headquarters. The lat/long for the refuge's headquarters is 35.508282, -105.167123.

One way to distinguish the long-billed dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus) from other shorebirds is by how they feed – like a sewing machine! The shorebird quickly probes into the refuge's mud flats with its long bill, sometimes to the point of sticking their head in the mud. Like many other migratory birds, they are dependent on the habitat at Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge during their long migration that extends as far north as Alaska and as far south as the Yucatan Peninsula.

|Fact Sheets
Vibrating tube conveyors are used to convey powders horizontally at a controlled rate in a totally enclosed environment. Conveying action is gentle and quiet at low velocity with no moving parts in contact with the powder, resulting in virtually no degradation.
Tube conveyors can be mounted on isolation spring support bases or suspended by overhead cables. This component is suitable for use on fragile, agglomerated, and instantized powders or sanitary applications that require frequent cleaning with low maintenance operation. The vibrating tube conveyor can be easily cleaned through removable end inspection covers or CIP with spray balls.
How does a Tube Conveyor Work?
Vibrating tube conveyors are perfect for conveying fragile agglomerated, instantized and standard powders or granules horizontally. Material is conveyed down the length of a closed tube in a series of small movements using low frequency (16- 25 Hz) and long strokes (0.16"- 0.32") vibrations. Momentum in direction of flow is generated by two counter rotating motors through the tube's center of gravity. Increase in slope can increase convey rate.
Advantages of Vibrating Tube Conveyors
Vibrating tube conveyors are a gentle conveying option with minimal product degradation. A low maintenance, dust free conveying option for sanitary powder processing conveyance.
Vibrating Tube Conveyor Features:
- Sanitary design meets USDA Dairy Guidelines
- Easily cleaned with no moving parts
- Totally enclosed, dust-free operation
- Isolation mounts minimize vibration transmission to support structure
- Energy efficient, low horsepower requirements
- Extremely quiet operation (between 60-75 DBA)
- Heavy duty, maintenance-free design
- Hot-air jacketed designs available for construction
Vibrating Pan Conveyor
Vibrating pan conveyors are similar to vibrating tube conveyors, only they feature a pan cross section and hinged top covers for improved access to product contact surfaces. Inside corners are designed radius for ease of cleaning.

David Peters – Core Report, Editor on American History & Biblical Prophecy
Our generation has confused freedom, as defined and understood by the Founding Fathers, with license. With regard to public discourse, however, one finds that speech is ever more limited by the current state of affairs. In examining our current public discourse and convention(s), it is necessary to delve into our own Republic's history and those who established it, and the respective rhetorical philosophy they engendered.
Our Founding Fathers were men of great learning, products of the Enlightenment, and inculcated with the knowledge of the Classic Civilizations i.e. Greece and Rome. Having as their example the despotism of the English monarchy, the absolutism of the other European monarchies and the hegemony of the Roman Church, they strived to form a republic based on the best egalitarian ideals of Athens and the Roman Republic. As such, they were also well versed in the inherent weaknesses of each civilization. In addition, most all were products of the Reformation and well apprised of the recent history of the Roman Church. In truth, 29 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence had seminary or Bible school degrees. They were desirous of founding a republic that was unencumbered by a state religion i.e. denomination, but one that had a strong Christian foundation. The veracity of this statement is well documented (and not the purpose of this writing); the organic record of the Founding Father's writings is unequivocal regarding this intention. The raison d'être for this statement is germane to this writing, however. The Founding Fathers understood the difference between freedom and license. Furthermore, they understood that a democratic republic would not succeed if the people were not educated and moral. To quote John Adams (in a Presidential address to the military in October of 1798):
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Thus, the first public educational institutions in the Republic were all dedicated to the proposition that education is religious in nature and that the precepts of Christ be taught in all schools at all levels. The public school system was originally designed as a vehicle to promote responsible citizenry in accordance with these principles. At the university level, one need only read the charters upon which the institutions of Harvard, Yale and Princeton (to name but a few) were founded as evidence of this truth. Daily reading of the Holy Scriptures was mandated for the student as an integral part of education.
The survival of our constitutional Republic is incumbent upon the morality of the people. Freedom, by definition, is the ability to act and live as one chooses. The Founding Fathers understood that doing so, without moral restraint, involved serious consequences—both in ones' personal life, and, by extension, for the Republic itself. They emphasized the concept that unrestrained actions lead to lesser freedom personally and tyranny politically. This is a lesson that our generation would do well to learn. Having dismantled the legal and social bulwarks that protected our Republic in former times, we now witness the demise of our civilization unabated and unhindered. Laws are passed to curb and regulate our behavior and society. Increasingly, the infringement and incremental encroachment upon our collective freedoms is facilitated by a government that is more than happy to increase its power under the guise of retaining law and order.

I bought this because the colors looked incredibly cute together and I thought this would be a good trio to do both day time looks and night time looks. I thought everything would be great, but when I tried it, the colors weren't too pigmented, they did look beautiful on the lid and gave a slight shimmer, but the eye shadow creased like crazy! Such a pity, because even the packaging was cute. I wanted to love this..

Work-Study Program
Students are eligible to work part-time on campus in a variety of settings. Working on campus can provide valuable career experience in addition to helping to offset education expenses.
Federal Work-Study
Students who are employed and paid under the Federal Work-Study Program must demonstrate financial need by having completed the FAFSA. Anticipated earnings are not applied to student accounts. Rather, students are paid by check monthly and are paid a wage per hour based on the position responsibilities.
A Federal Work-Study award does not mean that you are guaranteed a certain amount of earnings, but that you may earn up to a specific total for the academic year. A Federal Work-Study award does not mean that you are "guaranteed" a job for the entire academic year. Other factors are used to determine the period of time a student is eligible to work, i.e. budget restraints, federal allocation, the number of students with need, student's unmet need, etc. Students who work off campus could be asked to stop working earlier than the end of the semester because of some of these circumstances.
Students who have been awarded Federal Work-Study on their financial aid award will be notified during the summer of additional information required to secure a job. Federal Work-Study is considered part-time employment; therefore, the wages earned are taxed.
This link will tell you more about Federal Work-Study programs.
Institutional Employment "Presbyterian College Work"
Students are also able to work part-time under the PC Work Program. The PC Work Program is administered in much the same way as the Federal Work-Study Program with the exception that the students do not have to demonstrate financial need through the FAFSA. All students are paid by check monthly and are paid a wage based on the position responsibilities. PC work-study is considered part-time employment; therefore, the wages earned are taxed.
Direct all work-study related questions to the Financial Aid Office Work-Study Coordinator at 864.833.8287 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For Students
First-time work-study students should complete the following forms to participate in Federal Work-Study or the PC Work Program:
- Work-Study Application
- I-9 Form
- W-4 Form
- Student Employment Authorization Form
(Returning work-study students should also complete this form.)
These forms can be found in the work-study section of Forms. For consideration in the PC Work-Study Program, return the forms to the Financial Aid Office. Email or fax to 864.833.8749.
- Here is the PC Work Study Handbook for more details.
For Supervisors
Important Points to Remember:
- Minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. All on-campus positions pay this rate unless specified otherwise on the Student Employment Authorization Form.
- Off-campus positions pay $8.50 per hour. Students must be a "Federal" work student recipient on their Financial Aid award in order to qualify to work in any off-campus positions. Check with the Financial Aid Office before consideration for off-campus positions.
- Students must not begin working until they have completed all paperwork for student employment through the Financial Aid Office. We participate in EVerify which requires that we verify the individual through the e-verification process within three working days of being hired for pay.
Steps for Hiring Student Workers:
- Ensure that all first-time work-study students complete the following:
- Work Study Application
- I-9 Form
- W-4 Form
- Student Employment Authorization Form
(These can be found in the work-study section of Forms.)
- Ensure that you and each work-study student complete the Student Employment Authorization Form each academic year. Students must complete one form for each position employed.
- Ensure that the Financial Aid Office clears all students you intend to hire before they begin work. A completed Student Employment Authorization Form and pre-printed timesheet for the current academic year will determine that the student is ready to begin work.
- Read the PC Work Study Handbook for specific details about hiring and supervising student employees

(Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, March 07, 2014 12:49 PM
By Justin Phillips / American Press
Ron Granger is on a mission. He wants to promote and preserve the Cajun culture in Louisiana through music, but it's hard. The crowds that once shook the floors of dance halls throughout the area are starting to get older and to Granger, that love of everything Cajun hasn't been passed to the next generation.
To help bridge the gap between the culture and the youth, Granger and his band, Cajun Soul & Friends, are hosting Cajun Dancercise March 8 at VFW Post 2130, at 1900 Country Club Road. The events will take place the second Saturday of every month.
Granger is quick to talk about his missions in life, especially the ones focused on music. Through Cajun Dancercise, Granger said he hopes to not only stir up some dormant interest, but he hopes people will find the dancing to be great exercise.
"One of my missions in life is to promote and help preserve our Cajun culture. It has a great colorful past dating back to 1755," Granger said. "We want to promote the idea and the fact that dancing to Cajun music, just like dancing to Zydeco, is one of the greatest exercises you can do."
It's easy for Granger to see how important the music and culture could be to a younger generation. As a child, Granger's father taught him to love the music, love the food and to love the culture itself.
"When I was small, I used to go with my parents to the dance halls. When the kids would get tired, we'd all just sleep under the tables," Granger said. "Younger couples say, 'Well, how can we make it out to the event? We have children. We don't know what to do with the children.' Bring the children. We're going to have different instruments they can play on."
The events will start with free dance lessons at 6 p.m. From 7 p.m. until 10 p.m., there will be a live dance and admission to it is $7. The price includes cups of gumbo provided at the event.
To help paint a picture of just what Cajun music can do for someone, Granger likes to tell a story about an older woman he met once while performing in a small town in Missouri that had been hosting Cajun concert's for 25 years.
"I had an old lady tell me she could barely get out of a wheelchair, but once she got on the dance floor, man," Granger said. "She said, 'When y'all start playing, it's infectious.' That's why people should come out. To experience the Cajun culture and help preserve it."
Between 1940 and 1960, dance halls played a major part in communities across Southwest Louisiana as socializing venues, Granger said. His hope is to revive that love affair between the culture and the residents in the region.
"When we book a job, I don't go to play. I go to promote my Cajun culture," Granger said. "This has nothing to do with money. This is about promoting our Cajun culture and trying to preserve it."
For groups of five or more and if a call is made in advance, senior home residents will be admitted for $5. Family members accompanying those residents will be admitted for the same price. For more information and to make reservations, contact Ron Granger at 802-0802.

Carterton mayor Ron Mark isn't often lost for words - but when his partner Christine went down on one knee and proposed to him in front of "half the town", he was speechless.
Obviously sick of waiting for Mark to get his act together, Tracey took advantage of the leap year to turn the tables.
Traditionally a leap year - preferably the leap day, February 29 - is the one time when women are allowed to propose marriage.
Yesterday, Mark said his partner of seven years had arranged brunch with a group of friends at one of the town's pubs.
"She totally gobsmacked me," he said. "She made a speech about how we've been together seven years and we've been through some stuff - particularly the last month or so with the ballooning tragedy. A couple of things had indicated to her that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me."
She had quietly set two tests. The first was how the couple handled a serious challenge together - and the hot air balloon tragedy that claimed 11 lives was a bigger tragedy than they could have imagined.
"Dealing with the whole thing, the accident, the victims' families, the community, the whole thing, she felt that that had been a huge test for us."
The second test was whether they could spend a whole day together in the garden and not argue - and they managed that too.
So Tracey bought a gold ring with a greenstone inset and took it to the brunch.
Mark said: "I was wanting to spend the rest of my life with Chris. I knew I'd get to that point, I guess she's just a lot more organised than I am. She beat me to the punch, and I guess a leap year only comes around once every four years so she had to grab that opportunity."
And the big question ... what was his response?
"You'd have to be a lunatic not to say yes - she's a fantastic person."

Comic Genius
I can't help but be suspicious of an event promising free comic books. Every free comic book I ever received was a monumental disappointment. For example, the last thing I wanted to read about after leaving the dentist's office was tooth maintenance. Yet they had the nerve to hand me tooth-care industry propaganda and call it a free comic book. And couldn't they come up with something a little less obvious than anthropomorphized toothbrush and toothpaste heroes battling evil blobs representing plaque? Did they think I was so dumb that I couldn't possibly understand something a bit more metaphorical? Or just run huge "Just say no to tooth decay" ads in real comic books and pass those out instead of that junk? I was so disillusioned by the experience that I stopped trusting the pro-brushing rhetoric of the government-tooth-care complex altogether. I'm guessing that the comics to be given away at CAPE! 4, the Comic and Pop-Culture Expo, will be better. Plus, fanboys and fangirls can compete in a costume contest, meet guest artists and writers, get sketches and grab giveaways including 7,000 free comics. The World's Largest Free Comic Book Days Event takes place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Craddock Park in Dallas. Call 214-219-8697 or visit capeday.com.

There are minimum requirements recognized throughout academia on the proper use of citations in the classroom setting. This is especially true for many of the non-traditional resources found today such as web pages, wikis, blogs, e-mails and other faculty presentations. Use the resources on this page as a guide when citing materials used in PowerPoint presentations, BLS Vista learning modules and class handouts. Please note that proper citing of a source does NOT equal permission to use copyright restricted materials.
When citing websites, make certain to at least document the page or site author, title, the date accessed and the URL or web address.
- Author: The author can be an individual or a group. If not found on a specific page, try to find the site's home page. Often, the name of the responsible person or party will be found at the bottom of this page. Or, look for a portion of the site that says "About Us."
- Title: The title of a web page will most often be found in the very top, left-hand portion of a web page (often blue with white lettering).
- Date Accessed: If you are creating your citation from a print-out of a web page, the date accessed will be shown on the bottom right-hand corner of the page.
- URL: The easiest way to cite a URL (web site address) is to
- "select" the address in the location box at the top of the web page
- "copy" it (using Ctrl+C on your keyboard)
- "paste" it in your citation. TIP: If the URL is very long, create a "Tiny URL" at this site http://tinyurl.com. Tiny URL can turn this address http://www.umassmed.edu/department_and_centers/dept_centers. aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=30846 into this http://tinyurl.com/57t2fk.

Lamar Soutter Library, U Mass Medical School. "Lamar Soutter Library - University of Massachusetts Medical School." 2008.
Online Journal Articles
Online journal articles should be cited in the same manner as a traditional print article. The exception is that a link to the resource should be added to the resource, either as a DOI (Digital Object Identifier - retrievable through www.doi.org) or URL as shown in the below examples.
Hatem D., Mazor K., Fischer M., Philbin M., & Quirk M. (2008). Applying patient perspectives on caring to curriculum development. Patient Education and Counseling, 72(3), 367-367-73. doi:10.1016/j.pec.2008.05.020
Hatem D., et al. "Applying Patient Perspectives on Caring to Curriculum Development." Patient Education and Counseling 72.3 (2008): 367,367-73.
Weblogs or "blogs" are one of the newer types of online media to require a citation style. And, in the case of blogs, the accepted style can be very different between formats. Note how APA requires the blog URL to be displayed. MLA does not but it DOES require the date accessed.
Levin, L. L., & Comes, J. F. (2008). U Mass Family Medicine - library corner. Message posted to http://familymedlibrarycorner.blogspot.com/

Cartoons & Images
One of the best ways in which to get across a point in a lecture is by using humor, often in the form of a cartoon, as part of a lecture presentation. Cartoons are often left un-referenced in a presentation but require citations just as in the resources above. The same holds true for any image, whether the reproduction of a drawing, painting, photograph, etc.
A major difference in citing an e-mail communication versus the above is that it is impractical as well as impossible to include a link to a source that is and remains private and password restricted. As a result, e-mail citations are much shorter and un-informative than other electronic citations. Also, it is standard protocol to ask the senders permission to publish information sent in this fashion. However, if information was received via e-mail and is used in a presentation or publication, it is essential to cite it as below.
J.F. Comes, personal communication, September 23, 2008.
Comes, James F. "Re: Fitchburg Resident Training." Email to Len Levin. 23 Sep. 2008.
Other Faculty Presentations
Citing lecture material and/or PowerPoint presentations delivered during an academic lecture is the least standard style of citation. What is important to capture is
- the title of the lecture or PowerPoint presentation,
- the faculty member that delivered the presentation,
- the date the presentation was given, and
- the location .
These are all guideposts that a user can employ if they need to discover additional information about the cited source.
UMMS now holds an annual license with the Copyright Clearance Center making it easier than ever to search permissions for
materials used in presentations and handouts. Simply use the link below to enter "Annual License - Academic" and search for the
source you are using by title, ISBN/ISSN or publisher. (Please note: While the CCC license covers thousands of publications, it does
not include everything. Payment of a fee may be required to use an article or image. Please contact the LSL for assistance.)
How To Cite on a PowerPoint slide?
When creating citations within a PowerPoint, it's always best to
- add a citation on a slide where non-original material exists, and
- include an end slide as a bibliography.
This assists both the user that may find the individual slide and the user that has downloaded an entire presentation.
In this case, the two citations fill up a great deal of space on the slide. As this is often the norm, the standard for attribution should be as on the slide below, as long as you add the full citation at the end of the presentation.
What about unknown material?
There will always be cases where you need to/want to use an image, quotation or other reference and its original source is unknown. While you really should not use something that you can not attribute to an original source, this doesn't mean that you should automatically set it aside and not use it. Try Googling it - maybe you can find the source again using keywords, title words or any other "clues" from the material. If this does not work and you really feel that your presentation would be lessened by leaving the material out, simply cite as much as you know. For example, if you have a cartoon that you think was in Harper's Magazine (as in the example above) but can not remember or find the artist, date or any other information, cite it as such:

One of the great things this week was attending the IRB awards, and sitting with Jock Hobbs.
He received an IRB award for services to rugby. But if any guy ever deserved all the credit for the World Cup being in New Zealand it was Jock. He worked frantically on that for a long time before the IRB came forward and gave the tournament to New Zealand. Without Jock we would never have got that World Cup.
It was great to see the All Blacks win the World Cup final, but all the talk of a big All Black win before the match certainly had an impact.
You know, no matter what you say, when people tell you you're going to win by 20 or 30 points it becomes a psychological thing. You can't get it out of your mind.
During the game I was lucky to sit with Fred Allen. Late in the match he was sitting and saying, "I think we're going to bloody lose this". And I was like "oh no, we'll be right" - and the wife was looking at the clock on the stand and relaying to us, "there's only five minutes to go, there's only four minutes to go".
Just like the whole country.
For me that last lineout, Brad Thorn won it, I thought that was the greatest lineout he's ever won, and we could kick it out and we'd won.
It's a victory that will do great things for New Zealand rugby. There will be a lot more kids playing the game now. To me that's one of the big things.
When you look back to the start of the tournament, everyone was talking about the stadium of four million - and I think it was.
I've been all over the country during the past six weeks, and everywhere you went the public were totally into it, and it's great for rugby and great for our future in the game.
These guys are heroes, and it would have been disappointing if France had won, because they didn't deserve to based on their performances earlier in the tournament.
It was great to see the reception the players got throughout the whole country.
I've stayed pretty well clear of the All Blacks since they won the final. I did see Graham Henry briefly at the awards and said "I want to apologise to you, I wasn't one that thought you should have had it four years ago and you've proved us all wrong".
He was like "you don't have to say that", but I want to say it publicly, he's proved all the doubters wrong.
Israel Dagg didn't have a great game at the finish but he was the All Blacks backline star.
He's a wonderful player for the future, and coming back from injury before the World Cup, he was just fantastic. He and Thorn would be my players of the tournament.
I didn't think Brad was playing as well this year as he had in the past but once they got into the nitty-gritty of the Cup he was the powerhouse in the scrum, and he's going to be hard to replace.
The big decision for the rugby union now is picking the next coach. Obviously Steve Hansen will have the job, probably on a two-year contract. But the question is who goes with him? And who will the NZRU accept?
There's a lot of names being thrown around. The two-year tenure is good if they do well, not so good if they don't. In that case the new ones will only have two years to get it right. Who goes with Hansen is the key to this whole thing.
We're being told by the experts that neither Robbie Deans nor Warren Gatland are applying.
Gatland would have been a top candidate and would be well in the running. I'd like to see a new young coach, like Jamie Joseph or Dave Rennie, in the mix.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Sep 16, 2012.
I can't wait for this
^^ Ha ha, what are their lifetime, head-to-head stats?
Yeah, TanoRipp does have a nice ring to it -- seemingly everybody is at least working on one, if not unveiling one successfully in competition.
Oh, you're just jealous.
Seriously, Johnny has some solid programs this season with good music and choreo. He's lost none of his smoothness and artistry. And it's not a bad start to the season for him, despite the obvious flaws on some of his jumps. I also read that he had to break in new skates prior to the start of the season. Skating under CoP has never been as kind to Johnny as it should be, I think largely because he has been such an intuitive, improvisational skater. CoP forces Johnny to think more, rather than to simply feel and flow with the music. Unfortunately, I also don't think it helped Johnny when reportedly Galina tinkered with his jump technique after he began training with her. Blast that 3-loop which has never been a favorite jump for Johnny. Still it's early in the season and his hard work shows. Lots of skaters are using his former music and rockin' Johnny-flavored costumes too.
Even tho' I feel the younger guys have the advantage, anything can happen in figure skating. Who knows, maybe experience will end up being the trump card for Weir and Lysacek, and Abbott too. No matter who ends up going to Worlds for U.S. men, they really need to bring back three spots. There is just too much depth in U.S. men's field for anything less. But the guys have got to pace themselves throughout this season, for as important as U.S. Nationals is, perhaps the most important of all national championships, the chosen/ prevailing two have got to harness the necessary stamina and focus to "kill it" at Worlds.
I think Johnny's programs have wonderful potential although I am not a fan of his short program music (I think the first part is too slow). Unfortunately Johnny's biggest enemy has always been his nerves. He said last night in Finland that he left out a lot from his program (choreo and transitions) because he got nervous after messing up his first 3A. Johnny told reporters his skate at CoR would be much different because now that the first competition nerves are over, he won't make the same mistakes.
Man, Ricky's PCS were totally underscored. I don't see how he could be 4 points lower in components than Hanyu, who is great at jumps and spins, but not as masterful at the second mark.
His technical was very exciting though indeed! He would've had the highest base technical at Worlds last year by over 5 points !! In addition, his total technical score was higher than anyone's at Worlds. If he can skate two clean programs at nationals, I think he will make it to Worlds.
Considering that for years intermediate ladies have been doing their double jumps with both hands over their heads to try to get extra points (seriously, the first time I ever saw anyone do a jump with their arms in that position, it was at a club competition in the late 90s - a novice girl did her double axel that way), I don't even think Rippon should get credit for it.
2012-13 competition scores, including international, for the U.S. Sr. men to date: http://unseenskaters.wordpress.com/scoretracker/2012-2013-senior-men-scores/
Nathan Chen currently holds the highest Junior men's score (222.00) from the JGP in Austria, followed by Novice champ Vincent Zhou (195.19) at the SoCal Inv. Series Final last month. Chen's highest summer competition score was 185.33 at L.A. Open in July (where Zhou placed 1st overall, 2nd to Chen in the FS). The next 2 are Shotaro Omori (181.03) at Golden West and Jordan Moeller (161.02) at Glacier Falls in August.
Midori Ito was doing it at least as early as the 1987-88 season.
Skate America is 10/19- 21: Abbott, Lysacek and Razzano get their first shots. I believe that this is the next major competition? BTW, any word on Lysacek as to whether he will compete or not? It may not be fair, but I'm honestly half-expecting him to pull out ...
Coupe de Nice, 10/24 - 10/28: Aaron gets his 2d shot to improve even more.
Skate Canada, 10/26 - 10/28: Miner can also improve
And, when is Ice Challenge? It will be nice to see Armin again in a 2d Senior B, and make up for the fact he didn't get a GP assignment.
ETA - I got off my lazy butt and looked - Ice Challenge is 11/6 - 11/10
Dornbush's lp is the first program I have seen this season that excited me and I am not even a particular fan of the music. Beautifully choreographed and skated.
Weir has his work cut out for him. His program appeared very empty compared to someone's like Richard's. Hopefully much was left out. As long as Johnny has been competing (and even considering the hiatus), I find it difficult to buy into the "nerves" excuse and the effect of the messed up triple axel. The practice session for his lp was videotaped and he basically "stroked" around most of the time instead of doing anything near a run through. I hope he improves greatly before his first competition.
Johnny never does a full run through at the practice sessions so what he did at Finlandia was not unusual. I do believe Galina has him doing full run throughs at practice, something Priscilla Hill did not push with him. It will be interesting to see how Ricky does this year, if he can keep up the technical or if he implodes as he did last year at Nats.
See it is skates like these that justify USFS giving Dornbush a break during his tougher times. He has scoring potential. He just beat Weir by nearly 40 points, even though he also made mistakes in both programs. Armin M's personal best is nearly 30 points lower.
Not impressed with Weir's programs. There's nothing there.
I wonder if a clean Dornbush can beat Abbot. I don't think he could beat Evan, but perhaps Jeremy...
It will be interesting to see if Dornbush could hold it together during the major competitions or if he becomes a head case when the pressure increases.
^ that's opposite of what I'm thinking. Ricky at his very best might as well beat Evan at his best but clean Jeremy? Don't think so.
That's the thing. Remember how he skated oh so billiantly at '11 Nationals but went on melting down at worlds. And last season was sort of a mirror how he was not handling the pressure well.
But I do think he's learned a lot from it and it'll be somehow different with him.
I'm not remembering what you are about Dornbush at 2011 worlds. He performed very credibly, with a top ten finish. The highest finish of the three American men IIRC.
Now 2012 was a major disappointment. But that's not to say Richard can't bounce back and skate well this year. Let's see what happens.
Agreed :S I didn't think his performance at worlds was a meltdown at all...
BTW I didn't mean Clean Dornbush v clean abbot v clean Lysacek. I meant clean Dornbush v normal abbot v normal Lysacek. Lysacek tends to be the most consistent so that's why I say that I'm not sure that Dornbush could beat him - even clean.
You're both right. I don't know why I was remembering his world performancee that year were meltdowns
And again, yes johndockley I see your point. Normal Evan is pretty reliable but normal Jeremy is not
It will all come down to who can withstand the pressure of competition. We haven't even seen Lysacek or Abbott's programs yet so it's too early to predict that Ricky (or anyone else) will be a guaranteed medal at Nationals or Worlds.
IIRC, Dornbush revealed this summer that he had a problem with a blade last season and didn't figure out the problem until after his last competition. I would give him the benefit of the doubt on this one and not call him a headcase without further evidence.
I was just perusing Sylvia's no's from her link. I think based on scores thus far, the US men are in a better position to take on the world than they were the last 2 season: More prepared, more Quads, and more attack. I think many eyes will be on Abbott and Lysacek to see what exactly they lay out on the ice at SA (Will Evan go for a Quad and how rusty is he? Will Jeremy finally show a little more consistency?) and what kind of scores they can bring. Johnny set the bar at 201 pts. for the 'old men' and I think they both will go above that.
But, Evan has to show up first ...
As far as the clean Ricky vs. Inconsistent Jeremy vs. Normal Evan, and I say this as a huge Evan uber, Evan hasn't skated competitively in two seasons. And the code has changed pretty seriously since the last time he did. If he skates at SA, I'm not sure we have any idea what "normal" Evan is now.
Ricky skated a clean SP and earned a SB score in his FS at 2011 Worlds, scoring over 150 points for that program and hitting a 3a-3t in the second half of the program. His 9th place was actually a really good result considering the depth of the field and how he was competing on the junior circuit just that fall. Overall, he might have skated even better at 2011 Worlds compared to Nationals, simply because his SP was cleaner (his SP at Nats was a bit shaky and only relegated 7th place and a score of around 67 IIRC). The only mistakes in that FS were a doubled loop and a shaky landing on his 1st 3a, which was somewhat canceled out by the fact that he landed 3a-3t so well in the second half of the program, earning a bonus that he wouldn't have gotten had he performed that combo as intended at the beginning of his skate.
Last season, Dornbush was ok on the GP (SA - fairly good SP and okay FS, CoC - bad SP but pretty good FS), a mess in the SP at Nats but rebounded with a pretty good FS, then was off for both programs at 4CC. So really, he wasn't that inconsistent, he just wasn't skating his best, and considering he had boot problems, it makes sense. Richard last season was still probably more consistent than Jeremy is during any given season, he simply didn't score as high because Jeremy has more reputation, experience, and senior level medals to back him up as well as really strong PCS. I'm not saying his PCS aren't deserved, they certainly are, but Jeremy's TES is consistently a huge problem for him, last season I can't recall if he ever broke 70 for his FS TES, whereas Dornbush just posted 90+ at Finlandia and in 2010-2011 was regularly posting high 70s and low 80s for TES in his FS. Internationally, Jeremy may have up to 10 points in PCS cushion on Ricky (Evan as well), but at Nationals the differential is likely to be lower, and considering for Jeremy TES in the 60s and sometimes even dipping into the 50s is pretty normal, Ricky can easily make up those PCS points in TES with a strong skate. As for Evan we'll have to see, the quad was never his strong suit and now it's likely even he will need one to be competitive, and further, his 3a isn't great either. So now that he's taken time off, I wonder where he will slot in even if he skates cleanly...
We are within 2 weeks of SA....Evan must be planning to skate or he'd have withdrawn by now. Right? His team has always let folks know of a withdrawal in plenty of time to send another skater. I can't imagine Evan being unprepared. I expect him to do well.
Jeremy was very late getting his programs, and I couldn't tell much from the show where the programs debuted. He didn't look really ready for competition, though. His overall excellent skating skills and choreography will probably help a sub par jump performance.
I'm looking forward to seeing Razzano (he's the other US man at SA?)
I think the US men will have a rough time beating Hanyu and Kozuka.
I'm curious as to whether or not Evan's 3A will still be acceptable to the judges or if they will finally start dinging him for the under rotations.
I don't think Evan's 3A is under rotated. It won't get any + GOE but don't see any reason why it would get - GOE.
Sometimes, EL had problems with UR on the 4toe. But, I don't recall it being a problem with his 3x. Some complained about pre-rotations, though
Sorry, I meant pre rotation, not under rotation.
Maybe so, but I think both Hanyu and Kozuka have vulnerabilities. Of course, if they both lay it down, they will be difficult to beat. And too, Kozuka is a former silver medalist, and Hanyu is the current World bronze medalist. And two Japanese men were on the podium at Worlds in 2011. However, in any given competition, anyone is beatable.
I agree the U.S. men have stepped it up a notch. They've had to. Rooting for them all to do well this season and to be strongly and consistently competitive!
Granted, I am a frustrated Jeremy über, but that SP is freakin' AMAZING -- if he hits cleanly, he will demolish the competition.
As much as I want to like Dornbush (I loved his Sherlock Holmes FS), I just cannot get over my hatred of U2 to find the lurve for his SP.
ETA: Just watched Abbot's FS for the first time -- absolutely gorgeous and sublime , but he's GOT to land the jumps in order to win .
He also gets massive props for continuing to use music that is not overused and creating programs that push the artistic level.
Benji Schwimmer has the potential to become a kickass choreographer for figure skating -- he's two-for-two now with Abbott....I would like to see what he can do for Ice Dance (if he's already choreographed for anyone else, I'm not aware of it ).

Actually getting ready to work on a bucket for her that will fit a twi'lek. Thinking on using segmented armor to run down her lekku that attach to the helmet. Think of a snake's belly and how the scales sit.
LOL no, but it will be 18-20 guage forged steel (which means I hand dish it, then throw it in the forge for tempering). That'll make it knife, sword, and ax proof. =)
These sets won't be cheap though, probably ranging in at least $2-4k per set because of the man hours and detail I put into it. Depending on the set, I do all my own leather work to (bolo girths, holster rigs, battle belts/bandoleers).
I'm also highly selective on who I would sell to, because I don't think the need for money outweighs the need for someone who really respects the armor and will take care of it for years to come.
Rokeim, yes I will be going all metal with my final set of personal armor. Metal helmet and metal jet pack with some very very cool surprises inside for the mando fans out there.

Nocs is a Swedish headphone maker you may not have heard of before. But in spite of having been in the business for just a few years, its earphones can already be found in such high-profile joints as Apple Stores. The Nocs NS800 headphones are its top-end in-ear model. They share the natty metal bodies of the lower-end Nocs NS400 and Nocs NS200 earphones, but pack-in dual micro armature drivers instead of the common dynamic type. These are serious earphones.
The Nocs NS800 design is easy to slot-in alongside its series brothers. The bullet-like earpieces are armoured with smooth aluminium and use a smoky finish to stop them from looking too gaudy or eye-catching. They're classy-looking buds.
However, the design roots of these earphones go back further than just Nocs's own design tradition. Using dual micro armatures is what lets these earphones stay so small while using multiple drivers, and it's a style used previously by Ultimate Ears in the UE 700 and, before that, by Swedish headphone maker Jays with the fantastic-but-mostly-forgotten Jays q-JAYS.
You wouldn't accuse such a pure and simple earphone as the Nocs NS800 of theft, though, and we like just about every aesthetic choice that has been made here. They're small, they're tough, all logos are low-key and the earpieces are light too.
Unlike many earphones, they're completely non-ported. Dynamic driver earphones in particular tend to feature holes on the earpieces to improve bass response and general articulation, but seemingly it's not necessary when using a micro armature setup like the Nocs NS800's. This helps to give these earphones significantly better-than-average isolation, which you might not expect from something so tiddly. The noisy London Tube barely required any nudge of the volume slider.
As ever with IEM earphones that aren't hugely heavy, the comfort of the Nocs NS800 is based on the kind of fit you can get with the included silicone tips. Nocs includes the standard three sizes, and we found it easy to get a good seal with these fairly thick, soft tips included here.
The Nocs NS800's size needn't have any ill effects on sound quality or isolation, but it does seemingly reflect on the cable. For a £150 pair of earphones, the rubberised cable feels a little thin and it's non-removable. We don't know of any dual-driver earphones of this size that do offer the removable type, but it's something we always like to see in headphones that cost so much.
A traffic light-style remote control is included on the cable. It is colour-matched with the black cable, and lets you fully control music playback and volume with an iOS device, and take calls.
There's generally a distinct quality to different types of headphone driver array at this high-end level. The Nocs NS800 use dual micro armature drivers, which usually offer excellent clarity and more prominent treble than a good many more expensive triple driver pairs, such as the highly-regarded Shure SE535.
The Nocs NS800 are fully signed-up to the micro armature club, with particularly impressive detail and a bright-leaning signature that has the resolution to avoid becoming harsh. They don't have quite the very high-frequency detailing of the Jays q-JAYS, but they have a sparkly, largely roll-off-free treble that's highly enjoyable.
Bass performance is good too. Like the cheaper Nocs NS400, it's bouncy and slightly more voluminous than most other dual micro armature earphones, but these high-end earphones have much, much better low-end management than the dynamic driver NS400. The Nocs NS800 earphones have the bass chops to spar with the big names in the headphone world. They essentially are a grown-up version of the mid-range NS400 earphones.
Like Nocs's other earphones, the focus seems to be on these two extreme ends of the frequency range, but it's not so prominent as to give the NS800 an overly V-shaped sound, where mids are neglected. It's just enough to make them bags of fun, without losing audio cred.
Presentation is fairly up-front too, which adds to their ability to excite, without spoiling the intricacies of their finer detailing. From a triple driver earphone, you can expect to get better mid-range texture and a more expansive soundstage, but there's genuinely very little to dislike here.
The Nocs NS800 are among just a few sub-£200 earphones that had us revelling at their separation and detailing long after we'd gotten used to their signature. This puts them in a highly elite club of in-ears populated by sets like the Phonak PFE 112 and Jays q-JAYS.
With refined sound, tough metal bodies and good looks, the Nocs NS800 can compete with dual-driver rivals from Jays and Ultimate Ears. They take the signature bright sound of dual-driver earphones and tone down the top end a tad to make them suitable even for those who don't get on too well with searing treble. The only real issue is that they don't offer a removable cable.

Emotional finale for Maestro Ling
Garrett Harris 2 p.m., May 29
Dear Matthew Alice:
What is that white gook that rises to the surface when you cook fish?
-- Elaine Boyd, the net
Ewwww. Grandma Alice says the white gook is melted collagen, perhaps a little albumin and other proteins. It's stuff the fish used to need to help keep its muscles hooked to its skin and bones. But now it doesn't need the white gook, and I guess we don't either.

Mommy is off her rocker! I guess losing me and my brother finally just pushed her over the edge. Why am I saying this? Mommy and Daddy got a PUPPY! A PUPPY! A puppy that can only be described as the size of a small pony, with REALLY sharp teeth. I guess it's a good thing I'm not there, because there is NO way I would be able to keep up with it. But, I'll give her this much, she is pretty cute...when she's sleeping! I'm pretty sure she will mellow out when she gets older. At least I hope she will! Mommy and Daddy really want another kitty, but they decided it's still too soon. I've only been an angel for 7 months, and Mommy still cries. But, Mommy knows that there are fur babies out there that need homes, and not having one has been really hard on her and Daddy. So, they decided to get a pup, and will get another kitty once Bonny(the pup's name), has settled down. Mommy has always wanted a dog and a cat, together. She thinks it's a funny and cute combination, especially when they adore one another. And that's what she's hoping for. A kitty that will love the puppy. This is actually Mommy's FIRST dog. She's had cats every single day of her entire life! Needless to say, it has been a MAJOR learning experience!
So, my sweet kitty friends, if any of you are interested, go and check out the newest addition to the family. She's such a ham!
Hope all of you are doing well. We think about each and every one of you, constantly. We love you all, BUNCHES!
head-bonks and kisses,
Awwww....I have such good kitty friends! All of my pretty gifts, all perfectly lined up in my giftie box. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love and treasure each and every one of them.
How have my kitty friends been? I've had to take a break from typing while my Mommy plays catch-up with life. I've flown down to see her MANY times, and each time, she SWEARS that she will post a new entry for me. But, she never does. Bad ol' Mommy. So, I'm going to take it upon myself.
As many of you already know, since I have been gone, Mommy has been chasing her wild rabbits around, trying to get in a good squeeze. But,poor Mommy can't catch them. And guess what else? A couple of weeks ago, Mommy looked out the window, and she now has two ducks! DUCKS! Okay...Mommy lives in the burbs. Not out in some fabulous farm house. THE BURBS! And here she is, with two mallards coming to visit her every single day, at LEAST 4 times a day. In fact, the female came to visit this morning, and was MOST unhappy that there was no bird seed out. Mommy forgot to get some. So, she ate the few remaining seeds that were left over from yesterday, and played in the bowl of water that Mommy put out for her and her mate. It was HYSTERICAL! The female scoops seed up on her bill, and sticks it in the bowl of water. Then she puts her entire head under water, and eats the seed that has fallen to the bottom! Mommy always wondered why they turned upside down in ponds and lakes, and mooned everyone. She knew they were eating, but she got to see it first-hand this morning...cause the bowl that the water is in is clear! You can see right through it. And that's how she saw Mrs. Duck eat. It was SO funny. She and Daddy laughed and laughed. And then, they were visited by their hummingbirds...which actually migrated to Ohio relatively early this year. Mommy was VERY excited about that. She loves her little hummingbirds. Probably because they remind her of me...wonderfully adorable, but occasionally loud and cranky.
So, as you see, Mommy has been busy taking care of her wonderful wildlife. She says it's still not at all the same as having a fur baby...but it will have to do until she is out of her mourning stage.
I hope everyone is doing wonderfully. I miss you all so much! Oh, and if anyone is interested, Mommy did a blog post on her nutty bunnies and ducks, with lots of pictures. The link is, and, it's a biggie....
