New embossed leather pencils cases by Present & Correct.
London-based stationery designer extraordinaire Neal Whittington of Present & Correct is up to his usual tricks again… it really is a bit ridiculous how gorgeous his stuff is. I mean, how is a stationery tragic supposed to resist this kind of cuteness?!
Neal and co. made these brand new Homework pencils cases themselves in their East London studio – they're 2mm leather with a smart silver stud fastener. They come in three colours and two sizes, each decorated with homework-inspired graphics – you know, all those things you forgot you used to know about, like pythagoras, pi, and Venn diagrams?
Nice one Neal! (Remember Neal? I interviewed him here!)

A few days after team owner Jim Irsay ignited speculation about a possible trade, the Colts seized former first-round draft pick Vontae Davis to solidify their secondary.
Miami will get Indy's 2nd-round pick and a conditional, undisclosed late-round pick in the 2013 draft — a steep price for a veteran cornerback who recently lost his starting job, but one the Indianapolis Colts found acceptable.
"I think if Vontae were coming out in the 2013 draft, there's no way he'd be there. A man of this caliber and with this talent level and skills, he would not be there in the 2nd (round)," Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "You don't find guys like this in the 2nd."
The addition of Davis came hours after the Indianapolis Colts took another big defensive hit when an MRI confirmed defensive tackle Brandon McKinney injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Pagano claimed McKinney likely would go on injured reserve soon, ending his season.
McKinney, one of several ex-Ravens now in Indianapolis, was signed as a free agent in April to add size and depth to the defensive line. With his knowledge of the Ravens' defensive system, Pagano and the new Indianapolis Colts coaches expected him to help Indy make a smooth transition from their conventional 4-3 defensive front to Pagano's preferred 3-4 hybrid.
It has been that kind of preseason for the Colts, who have lost 2 backup linebackers with season-ending knee injuries and should be without starting inside linebacker Pat Angerer (cracked foot) for a couple more weeks.
The Colts also played Saturday without new defensive end Cory Redding (knee) and LB Robert Mathis (shoulder).
"Losing the couple of linebackers that we've lost and now Brandon and the injuries that have kept some guys out for a couple weeks here and there, it's tricky from a continuity standpoint," Pagano declared.
"You'd love to have them all playing together just from a communication standpoint and a trust perspective and all those types of things. So it's been a challenge for Greg Manusky and our defensive coaches. … It seems like each time we come out of a preseason game or what not, we're adding somebody new to the mix."
Davis is the newest addition to the list and will fill a huge void.
Jerraud Powers has been a solid starter at one cornerback spot every one of the past 3 seasons and was expected to do the same again this year.
But with no clear winner in the competition for the other spot, new GM Ryan Grigson commenced chatting with the Dolphins about Davis. Football betting lines
The No. 25 overall pick in the 2009 draft was a starter since his rookie season, but his effort and conditioning were questioned in this summer's coaching camp and he lost his starting job to newcomer Richard Marshall.
In 44 career games with Dolphins, Davis had 148 career tackles and 9 interceptions.
By pairing Davis and Powers, the Colts now have 2 established starters at cornerback and a bevy of youngsters struggling for playing time behind them.

Robert Kraft Gives To Columbia Athletics
Sunday, October 14, 2007
Columbia University announced that Robert K. Kraft, Chairman and CEO of The Kraft Group, owner of the New England Patriots and 1963 graduate of Columbia College, has pledged $5 million to the University in support of Columbia's intercollegiate athletics program.
Kraft's gift, one of the largest ever to Columbia Athletics, will provide early leadership funding for The Columbia Campaign for Athletics: Achieving Excellence, a $100 million initiative. In recognition of the gift, the playing field at Columbia's Lawrence A. Wien Stadium at the Baker Field Athletics Complex will be named "Robert K. Kraft Field."
"Robert's extraordinary gift is a great stride in the continued transformation of our athletics program," says President Lee C. Bollinger. "We are proud to have his name associated with the field and thank him for his remarkable support of Columbia University. It's always especially wonderful to have a naming gift from a true friend."
A former member of Columbia's football squad, Kraft has become one of Columbia's most dedicated and involved alumni. A trustee emeritus, he served as a University trustee for two six-year terms, the maximum length of trustee service allowable. Kraft is also a principal benefactor of the Kraft Center, also known as the Columbia/Barnard Hillel, which was dedicated in 2000 and is one of his many contributions to the University. In November 2004, Kraft was awarded the Alexander Hamilton Medal, the highest tribute that can be paid to a member of the Columbia College community, in honor of his lifetime of service to Columbia. He and his wife, Myra, created the Kraft Family Fund for Interfaith and Intercultural Awareness with a $500,000 gift to Columbia in 2005.
"I am proud to support Columbia University and Columbia Athletics in particular," said Kraft. "Lessons learned through athletic competition and teamwork can be invaluable lifelong educational experiences for students. I hope that my contribution helps kick off a successful fund-raising campaign to benefit the student-athletes at Columbia and help develop our future leaders for generations to come."
Since Kraft bought the New England Patriots in 1994, the team has won more Super Bowl titles (3), conference titles (4), playoff games (15) and overall games (149) than any other team in the NFL. In 2006, Kraft received the NCAA's Theodore Roosevelt Award, the highest honor the Association bestows.
"Robert is dedicated to excellence in everything he does," says Dr. M. Dianne Murphy, Director, Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education. "We thank him for his commitment to our athletics program and our goal of achieving and sustaining excellence."
"Robert's generosity opens up a lot of opportunities for Columbia Athletics," says Norries Wilson, The Patricia and Shepard Alexander Head Coach of Football. "His gift will help immensely in accomplishing Columbia Football's goal of winning Ivy League championships. I thank Robert on behalf of our football program, and all Columbia teams."
Columbia Athletics competes in NCAA Division I and The Ivy League, and features 29 varsity teams and more than 800 student-athletes, making it the largest intercollegiate athletics program in New York City, and one of the largest in the nation. In the 2006-07 academic year, Columbia won five Ivy League team championships, marking the highest single-year total in the program's history.
The Columbia Campaign for Athletics: Achieving Excellence is part of the $4 billion Columbia Campaign, a University-wide effort formally launched in fall 2006 that is expected to conclude on December 31, 2011. More than $2.4 billion has been raised already.

The Search for Love
I spent my life running after the creation. I have always been what you might call 'needy'. I needed friends, I needed people. All the time. And I couldn't handle letdowns. But at the heart of what makes us run after the creation, is simply love. The need to give and receive love. This need has been put in us by the Creator. And every need created by God, has been created for a purpose. The need to give and receive love was created as a driver. A driver that pushes us back to God. You see, we began with God, and God wants us to come back to Him in this life—even before we come back to...Read More
About a personal struggle I had as a teen
Picking up the Wrong Ball By: Yasmin Mogahed Everyone has problems. At least that's what my 7th grade teacher told us. He asked us to imagine rolling up all our problems into a ball and throwing that ball on a pile filled with the problems of all other people. He then argued to us that-given a choice-each and every one of us would choose our own ball over all others. Although I was too young then to understand his metaphor fully, I knew that everyone had problems. And I was no different. Growing up, depression became a natural part of my life. Throughout middle school and into high...Read More
Finding Jennah
I have spent a lot of my life trying to reconcile between hardship and ease. On the one hand, we are told again and again that the straight path is not easy and requires struggle and sacrifice. But on the other hand, as humans we always desire ease. What I have come to realize is that the path will always have challenges, tests and trials. There will be hardships and there will be storms. But, if Allah wills, you can be given ease *within* the hardship. The one who finds refuge in Allah, remains dry—even during the most powerful storm. Outside, it may be raining, but inside the refuge of...Read More
The Lifetime of a Hardship
Allah tell us in the Quran that for all things He has created an "appointed term'. This includes our hardships and struggles. They all have a birth and a death. They all have an appointed term. Every situation in our life has an appointed term, after which they come to an end and/or change. There have been a few periods of my life when this particular ayah has comforted me so much. It is 'simple', but so profound: "And be patient for the decision of your Lord, for indeed you are in Our eyes." (52:48) So many powerful lessons: 1. Allah has your situation...Read More
RIS Lecture: The Storm is Coming
Today, I'm going to talk about poverty. Yet, the poverty I speak about today isn't the apparent kind. You see, before we can begin to speak about a concept, we need a criterion. We need definitions. In speaking about poverty, we need to understand that there is external poverty and there is internal poverty. And one is far more dangerous than the other, because while one form of poverty determines how we live temporarily, the other form, determines how we live eternally. Today, I will speak on the latter form. Internal poverty is the poverty of the soul. It describes the unmoved soul....Read More
I Grieve
I Grieve By: Yasmin Mogahed I lifted my head Once more Only to see The sun had set, The trees had slept, And they'd all gone home I grieve. The sky that was clear is now covered with fog. My path, I no longer see. Why try…when it's all so gray? I grieve. Today I grieve For what's been lost. My forgotten people, still on their knees before a snow god in spring I grieve. They've forgotten that prayer And to whom they should call. The Essence replaced by mundane ritual, empty symbols. Their hearts… so tired, jaded and...Read More

please discuss my problem outlets in house go off
when i turn something on-or by them selves i can t really afford a pro right now i am praying for advice
would appriciate any thoughts on this as i am hoping for a solution i located a main breaker but i dont want to mess with live current
Well, THAT aint gonna help.
"outlets in house go off when i turn something on-or by them selves" is not enough info to help.
You need to be specific with your "prayers". Avoid the 20 questions game and be more specific. It is very likely that you WILL need to call someone to fix your problems.
About the only things you can do are:
1. Call the power company. They will come out for free and there is a chance that it is their problem.
2. Turn all breakers off and on again. This probably won't help your issues.
sorry Pag,
But I don't really understand your question. Are you saying that when you turn something on, everything plugged into your outlets turns off?
What are you turning on? Is this in one room or the whole house?
It sounds like your problem is a loose service neutral. The first people to call is the power company, because they don't charge for checking the line. If the problem is on their end, they will fix it. If it turns out to be in your house, you will need to call an electrician or tell us what your electrical experience is. Some DIYs with good mechanical skills could solve this problem with proper direction. Others are better off calling a pro.
lights stay on- used to be breakers would go off now- just no power to every where except kitchen -stays on if you turn on oven-220- outlets begin to work until they shut down
thanks 227
i would like to know where to look for loose service neutal -behind outlets in panel the main power on the outside?
See other post.
One "leg" is out.
Reset main and/or call power company
thanks 220/221
do you mean the thick silver cable on the outside box or ? leg -one lead -right ? is that the outside?
Sorry, I guess I didn't read the details deeply enough. Yes, you have a leg out not the neutral. This is not something to fix yourself, because you sound like you don't have the necessary experience. Not a dig, just the cold hard facts. DO NOT go poking around trying to find the problem! You could get killed, or even worse badly, burned (yes, you read that right).
This thing could blow right up in your face before you even know what's going on. And believe me, liquid metal is HOT!
need to know in laymans terms i can understand -a hot leg out - please clarify- i would like to know more i do not intend to deal with live current -you say when the 220 appliance runs it ? back into the system 1 -why does this happen is it a case of slow wear or an all at once occurance 2when i hired the guy he said i didnt push the main breaker hard enough it worked for months after that 3is it the main breaker or half of it -i dont understand 1 hot leg out but i appreasiate the quick explaination of the way it wors -thank you -ps i have some experiance a s an electrican helper for 3 months
It's difficult jumping back and forth between posts here :yes:
Oh man, I think this may end badly.
Take the advice of the experts, get an electrician in there before you kill yourself.
aha - i have not tried turning off all the closet breakers -then resetting main might that be the reason its not setting? otherwise how weould electrition chang breaker without having power off?
thank you db4ever all i said was if i let the power go off anyhow i could switch out the breakers i dont want to -the computer quit twice in the last hour i hade to turn on the oven and reboot 10 minutes each time -but HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS can i leave for a while as i dont have any more savings

New Pro-Union Group Jumps Into Mayoral Race
This was a busy week for the public school unions, with the United Federation of Teachers and the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators facing off in court on Wednesday with the Education Department over the removal of teachers from 24 schools, and Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott poking the teachers' union on Thursday by announcing his intention to buy out unsatisfactory teachers.
While they duke it out at the policy level, the unions are also hoping to kick it up on the political front, and a new coalition of labor unions and liberal advocacy groups will announce its intention to weigh in on the 2013 mayoral race, Michael M. Grynbaum reports on Friday in The New York Times.
The coalition, to be announced on Friday, is a direct response to another well-financed political group, StudentsFirstNY, which was formed this year as a counterweight to critics of the administration's stewardship of the city's schools, and is led by former schools chancellors of New York and Washington. The new coalition will be called New Yorkers for Great Public Schools.
All signs show that Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's education policies on matters like school closings and charter schools will be a large focus of the mayoral candidates in next year's race. In March, Fernanda Santos and David W. Chen reported on how the likely contenders have been courting Michael Mulgrew, the teachers' union president, in the hopes of getting his support.
To counter that activity, StudentsFirstNY announced its intention to weigh in with a huge war chest, financed largely by hedge fund managers and venture capitalists, of $10 million a year. And now New Yorkers for Great Public Schools is hoping to deliver the cross-punch to that group.
Jon Kest, the executive director of New York Communities for Change, who is one of the prime organizers of the new coalition, said on Thursday that his opponents had been "amassing a small fortune to try and buy the support of mayoral candidates with a massive advertising campaign."
In a news release, the new coalition described itself as waging "a David vs. Goliath grass-roots campaign" against allies of the mayor.
That description did not sit well with Micah Lasher, the executive director of StudentsFirstNY, who wrote in an e-mail to The Times that his group was "a union for students, fighting for a quality teacher for every child" -- and that the unions did not always have students' interests at the top of their list of concerns.
So they are off. And like the "super PACs" that are playing such a huge role in the presidential race, these big-money, school-based political entities could be determinants in the mayoral race. At this point, only the city's stop-and-frisk policies have as much potential to motivate voters -- and thus dominate the words and deeds of the mayoral contenders.
As they say in the newspaper business, TK -- more to come.
Gotham Schools's Rise & Shine morning post has a more complete roundup of Friday's education-related news.

"X in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. X is the sacred symbol of ten dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not, as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name
--_Xristos_. If it represented a cross it would stand for St. Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape. In the algebra of psychology x stands for Woman's mind. Words beginning with X are Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary."

Murray dropped his first set of the tournament by losing the opening-set tiebreak to eighth seed Gasquet, but quickly made amends and dominated the final two sets to reach his third Miami final.
Murray has beaten Ferrer in six out of 11 career matches, winning five of the last seven.
Ferrer has only beaten Murray once on a non-clay surface and that was at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in 2011.
"It is going to be a tough match. He is an unbelievable competitor," Murray said. "We train a lot together so we know each other's games well so there should be a lot of long rallies."
The 26 year-old Scot clinched the win when a frustrated Gasquet hammered a return of serve on his forehand into the bottom of the net on the first of two match points.
Murray finished with six aces and won 75 percent of his first-serve points in a centre court match that ended just one minute shy of being two hours long.
Murray started slowly, struggling with his serve at times as he double faulted five times in the match, including three times in the opening set.
Gasquet, who has won twice already this year but was hampered by a right foot problem in this one, was trying to become the first Frenchman to capture the Miami title.
Murray later said he was pleased at his recovery after the disappointment of losing the first set.
"The first set was a tough one to lose," Murray said. "I hit over 20 winners and lost the set.
"So I realised I had to cut out the unforced errors. I did a good job of that. Halfway through the second set I started to find the right way to play."
Gasquet received treatment from the trainer during the break between the second and third set for a problem with his right ankle.
"I had an ankle problem already from Indian Wells," Gasquet said.
Murray smacked a superb running cross-court forehand winner to reach match point in the eighth game of the final set.
That set up a double match point and Murray wasted no time winning it on his first serve.

A complete, flexible system amplifier in one chassis.
A small-footprint, three-channel system amplifier with 1370-watt max power output, flexible channel configuration and easy setup
The JBL® GTO-3EZ car audio amplifier provides unmatched ease of installation, configuration and calibration for clean, powerful sound. It connects to OEM or aftermarket systems without complicated adapters or setup routines. Use line-level (RCA) signals or speaker-level signals with RCA-to-bare-wire adapters – everything you'll need is included in the box. Experience the clean and powerful output of GTO Series amplifiers in a variety of channel configurations and power ratings, all of which are CEA®-2006A compliant and backed by the JBL reputation for top quality.
A complete 1370-watt (max) system amplifier
A system amplifier features multiple channels configured into a single chassis that can power an entire system. The GTO-3EZ system amplifier is a three-channel, 2x50 watts + 1x500 watts RMS configuration (1370 watts max). High-efficiency Class D amplification in the subwoofer channels ensures maximum output for the low end, while variable active crossovers (40Hz – 280Hz low-pass and 40Hz – 220Hz high-pass) and variable bass boost ensure the right integration, no matter what speakers you connect.
Easy setup and adjustment of input gain
The GTO-3EZ system amplifier includes an input-level switch, a setup CD with test signals and LED indicators to tell you when the setting is correct. Simply set the switch, turn the input-level knob and watch for the green light that indicates that the setup is perfect. That's all there is to it. There's a reason why the amplifier's model number contains EZ. This feature significantly reduces installation time and delivers excellent results.
Wired or auto-sensing remote turn-on
JBL engineers have configured the GTO-3EZ system amplifier to turn on with a wired input (as in aftermarket systems) or with an auto-sensing circuit that activates whenever the amp detects an audio signal. The auto-sensing feature is helpful when you're upgrading OEM audio systems that don't include a remote trigger wire. It's easily defeated by a switch when you're using a wired remote turn-on input
Input signal up to 15V (line-level or speaker-level)
The GTO-3EZ system amplifier accepts a wide range of inputs up to 15 volts with line-level or speaker-level signals. Using RCA-to-bare-wire adapters included with the amplifier, you can connect to virtually any OEM or aftermarket audio system. The end result is an amplifier that works with the widest range of cars on the road.
Built-in, variable active crossovers
Active 12-decibel/octave crossovers offer variable high-pass filter points between 40Hz and 220Hz on the full-range channels and variable low-pass filter points between 40Hz and 280Hz on the subwoofer channel. Importantly, all filter points on the adjustment dial match the silkscreened frequency points on the amplifier chassis – a feature that not all amps provide.
Built-in, variable bass boost
The GTO-3EZ system amplifier provides a range of bass boost from 0 decibels to +12 decibels, centered at 45Hz. This is a useful feature for restoring some bass that may be limited by the low-frequency response of certain speakers in the system – or to enhance a particular range of bass that the speakers already produce well.
Bridgeable channel pairs (on full-range channels)
You can bridge pairs of the GTO-3EZ system amplifier's main channels into a single, more powerful channel. This setup is useful for flexible audio system designs in a growing system or for full-range speakers in a system that needs more power.
High-efficiency Class D operation (on subwoofer channel)
The high-efficiency, low-current and low-heat performance of Class D amplification ensures high power output from the GTO-3EZ's subwoofer channel. It also minimizes any need for upgrades to your vehicle's electrical system.
Automatic thermal and low-impedance protection
Amplifier protection is just like insurance; you hope you'll never need it, but it's nice to have when you do. Thermal protection keeps the GTO-3EZ system amplifier from overworking itself to the point of premature failure. Low-impedance protection keeps the amplifier safe from any speaker or wiring failures that result in short circuits.
Compatible with wired remote bass control (sold separately)
The GTO-3EZ amplifier is compatible with the optional wired remote bass control, which provides easy adjustment of subwoofer-channel bass levels from the front seat. The wired remote is easy to connect with a telephone-style jack and can be mounted in a variety of positions to suit the vehicle and location preferences.

Taylor Momsen: "I'm Very Comfortable With Nudity"
After a fun night out, Taylor Momsen left the Warwick Nightclub in Hollywood, CA on Wednesday (April 23).
The Pretty Reckless babe rocked an all-black ensemble with John Lennon-style sunglasses and kept a low profile as she made her way out of the hotspot.
During promotions for her band's latest album, the 20-year-old opened up about her parent's thoughts on the singer's nudity.
"My parents didn't really care. They knew I was experimenting with things, it's just (expletive) clothing, I don't know why everyone makes a big deal out of it. My mum is really into fashion, it's just figuring out what you like.''
Taylor also discussed how her style evolved since The Pretty Reckless' debut album Light Me Up.
"I'm no longer wearing my corsets right now [but] I don't regret anything. It just has to have a purpose, it has to have an artistic meaning behind it ... otherwise I find it cheap. My parents understand the artistic meaning behind it [getting naked]. I started modeling at two and went into acting. I'm very comfortable with nudity.''

I write as chair of the board of trustees of the Maddermarket Theatre, Norwich. It is an amateur theatre with a small professional staff, which presents 12 plays each year. In programming our current season, January to December 2012, we set out to ensure women were well-represented in all aspects. Accordingly, we chose six plays by female authors, used five female directors out of the 12 and more than 50% of the roles were for women. Next year, we shall again be offering more roles for women than for men, beginning with Playhouse Creatures by April de Angelis, which is being directed by a woman and will have an all-female crew. Our policy is, in part, driven by the fact that we have more women than men in our acting company, a factor that Stella Duffy highlights in her article (Theatre of the absurd, 13 December). It makes sense to us to use the talent we have to present the best possible quality of theatre. It seems that a small, provincial theatre, which receives no grant funding, can show the big, subsidised London venues a thing or two.
Susan Seddon
Maddermarket Theatre, Norwich
• Our sexist world, in which women are woefully under-represented on stage, screen and in public life, does not only apply to adults. Over the past few years, while looking after my pre-school granddaughter, I have watched hours of CBeebies with growing fury at the equally woeful under-representation of females in the programmes. Even most of the cartoon characters have male voices. I thought I was imagining it at first, so I did a quick survey using the A-Z programme list, which confirmed my suspicions. TThe presenters were mainly male, too, when I last looked. How depressing that so little progress has been made towards equality since my own children were small. Still, it's as well to get them used to it from an early age, to save them disappointment later.
Sandy Walton
• I wish to add to Stella Duffy's inspiring list of "actions to be taken" to remedy the inequality imposed on women practitioners in theatre. Fortunately more A-level students are gradually getting the opportunity to study a female playwright but rarely a female director. The obvious example would be Joan Littlewood, one of the most innovative British directors since the war, but also viewed as the mother of the whole theatre In education movement and as the professional director whose liberating rehearsal techniques have most influenced the teaching of drama in schools. Her work was culturally, socially and educationally significant.
Perhaps the many school/college productions of her Oh! What a Lovely War likely to be staged to mark 1914, the centenary year of the start of the first world war, will help sweep her into the role model status she deserves to have, especially for female drama students, who considerably outnumber the men. That is, of course, if the arts have not by then been completely banished from school curriculums by Michael Gove.

Any input on things to plant AND WHERE to get it would be appreciated.
Right now I have 2 acres of corn and about 8 acres of jap and white proso millet planted. the rest is in moist soil vegeation. I would like to cut back the millet and have more moist soil.

Programmable Thermostat to Furnace Wiring
I recently upgraded my thermostat to a Honeywell RTH7500D. My furnace is a Lennox G50UH. I only have two wires attached to my thermostat: W and R. Everything works fine, but am I missing out on some functionality or efficiency with only these two connections? Thanks.
Missing the ability to turn on the blower independantly. Other then that it's a single stage furnce so it's either on or off. Run another wire from the thermostat G terminal to the furnace G terminal if you want the on/auto fan function to work.

Couples proclaim their love at fair
Proclamations of love were in the air as 22 couples renewed their vows Tuesday morning at the Ventura County Fair during its blessing of the marriages.
Deacon Ed Mills, of Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Ventura, brought humor to the annual event that celebrated marriages of 40 years or more. Event organizer Victoria Spiller said some couples who have been married only 20-plus years also are allowed to participate.
"We let a few sneak in," she said.
With brides receiving bouquets, the group enthusiastically repeated wedding vows promising "to be true to you in good times and bad, in sickness and health. I promise to love you and honor you all the days of my life."
Mills then proclaimed, "What God has joined together, let no one divide."
Mills said he has been conducting the service for about seven years and always looks forward to it.
"It's a lot of fun," he said.
After the vows, the couples were invited to have punch and sheet cake.
God is an important part of Ron Appel's marriage of 61 years. The Thousand Oaks resident said he and his wife, Jeannine Appel, were married twice.
"We eloped at first and the family couldn't make it, so we had another ceremony," Ron Appel said.
He credited his enduring marriage to: "God and prayer. And she's a nice woman."
Jeannine Appel added: "We've been blessed. We've had a good life."
Looking for a little inspiration, Bob Sanchez, of Duarte, and Rosemarie Castro, of Ventura, said they have only been dating for three months. They snuggled together as others gathered at the fair's Seabreeze Stage.
"We're just here to witness everybody getting married," Castro said.
Before the short ceremony, Mills went through the crowd, asking people the secret to their long marriages, with the most popular answers being love, followed by "faith in God."
Bob and Mickey Molina, of Oxnard, said they enjoy coming to the fair every year to have their marriage of 48 years blessed.
"I just love the greenery and the beautiful landscape," said Mickey Molina, who particularly enjoys looking at the children's displays in the fair's Youth Expo building.
Bob Molina said his wife is his secret ingredient to the marriage.
"She makes me smile when I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning," he said.
The longest-married couple this year were Nancy and Gene Moser, of Ojai, who have been married "63 years and eight months."
Mills gently teased many of the couples who gave not only the years but also months of marriage, saying it reminded him of children who always add the fractions of each year to their age.
"I could write a book with all of the answers I've heard," he said. "It's amazing. But it always comes back to caring and listening."

I have a comp setup - a test using Vray's new EXR2.0 output.
I pretty much set it up like this tutorial:
And here is mine:
Read1+2 are teapots
Read3 is ground plane
Read4 background
So it looks as I'd expect, I can view the deep channel and values correspond to my 3DS Max scene units (cm). I then tried to stick a rotoshape onto a Card3D node and place that between my two teapots and here lies my problem.
I exported my render cam from 3DS Max as FBX and loaded that into my camera (I think that's what I was meant to do).
I then tried to set the uniform scale in the card node and hoped it would correspond to the deep channel depths - this is what was shown on the tutorial but he brushed over than part.
Currently the card 3D depth is reversed, a depth of about 350cm places the roto between the teapots but the depth seems to be reversed and possibly skewed.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?

The B-type USB port labelled 'USB-PC' is for connecting the A110 up to a PC (funnily enough), specifically for accessing the internal hard drive - if you've chosen to fit one. It enables you to quickly and easily copy your media to the drive just like it were a conventional external hard drive. The only headache is the installation of a special driver to make the drive appear in Windows and OS10 operating systems (EXT2FSD is one that's suggested for Windows).
Meanwhile, the Ethernet connection, which is only 10/100Mbps, provides connectivity for the A110's host of network capabilities. These include the ability to access the internal hard drive over a network as you would a NAS box, you can also run a bittorrent client, FTP server, and there are all manner of internet services including youtube, Flickr, picasaweb, RSS feeds, Shoutcast, SayaTV, and many more besides. There's no built in wireless but many wireless USB adapters will work and you could also use a wireless to wired bridge.
Getting a hard drive inside the A110 is as simple as removing the four thumbscrews holding the top down, plugging the drive in, and screwing it in place using the provided screws. There are mounting points for both 2.5in and 3.5in drives providing plenty of flexibility. The drive connection is SATA, which is another change from the A100 that used PATA, so should fit the vast majority of modern drives.
As you can see, there's not much to the A110 once you get inside. The vast majority of its trickery is performed by the chip that sits under the large black heatsink. This heatsink makes contact with a thermal transfer pad on the underside of the lid to pass the not inconsiderable heat generated by the processing chip onto the A110's casing. For this reason the whole unit can get quite warm even when sitting idling and we've read reports of overheating. Some people have retro fitted small fans to help air circulation and one could also add a more effective thermal compound to the underside of the lid to aid cooling. We, however, experienced no heat related stability issues whatsoever.
Once connected up, initial bootup can take quite a while but, from there on in, flipping between standby and On is very quick. The first screen you'll see lists the source device options that are currently available so if you have a hard drive installed, a USB device plugged in, and a network connection present, you'll have a choice of these three. Choosing network requires you to further choose which network device to connect to, whether it be a NAS box or shared folder on your PC.
From here on in you'll be greeted by a home screen that gives four file-type options; video, music, photos, and file. The first three are self explanatory but the last one is less so. Essentially, it's for accessing anything else like executable files (some of which you may be installing on the system) or documents.

I think it would be impossible to not mention Steve Jobs this morning. I am here posting this editorial from a Mac, I checked my email on my Mac Air this morning. I have loved the Iphone, Ipod and Imac. I realized last night as I read the initial news of Mr. Jobs death that most of my life I have been influenced and shaped by the creations of Steve Jobs. Our first computers in school were Apple II E's that we played Oregon Trail and Lemonade Stand on. I did my first Computer Aided Drafting on a Mac in Jr. High, and have been a fan of this creatively beautiful technology as long as I have had the awareness to do so. I wrote last night that individuals like Mr. Jobs, Thomas Edison, and Walt Disney are rare, bright lights that shape and entirely change culture…putting a "ding" in the universe. I feel fortunate to have lived in an era when one of these individuals burned at his brightest. We as people who love the Bungalow have long been accused of being neo-luddites, afraid to move out of our "craftsman" heritage of Industrial Revolution revolt. For a moment I have to consider that Mr. Jobs was more like our heroes than not. After all Roycroft, Sullivan, Wright and the Greene Brothers were in actuality changing our culture just like Mr. Jobs endeavored to do. There was a desire by all of our predecessors to change the precepts of the time, react to the solutions of the elite among them and to say without a doubt that just because its popular, doesn't immediately make it good for humanity. Mr. Jobs famously reacted to Big Brother in his unveiling of the Macintosh and described his new creation visually as a sledgehammer to the old precepts and dominance of "Big Blue".
I had the opportunity to build a home this year for a very wonderful family. He is the founder and editor of MidCurrent, an online wealth of Fly Fishing knowledge and news. He and his family have profoundly influenced how I approach the creative process of building a home. He is the person who encouraged me to start the "Breakfast Nook" and he and I share a love of this strange hobby called "Fly Fishing". We have had many discussions about our individual businesses and how the world of business, building and publishing is changing faster than we could have ever imagined. He has written a great article this morning about Fly Fishing and Steve Jobs and I absolutely loved the perspective that it brings. This quote from the article is really an excellent discussion about life, fishing and can even be applied to our beloved Bungalows –
So the next time you are told there's only one way to tie a fly, that all the good fishing ideas have already been thought of and tried, or to hurry up or you'll miss the best fishing; or you think that a string of bad fishing days means that you've lost your juju, or believe that the fly fishing "experts" were bestowed a magical gift that means they'll always catch the most fish, remember Steve Jobs. – Marshall Cutchin

For those who follow Christian traditions, Christmas begins when the darkness of Christmas Eve yields to bright midnight candles and the Mass of the Angels or the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.The Christmas season then lasts 12 days, ending with Epiphany on Jan. 6.But things aren't that simple in modern America, the land of the free and the home of the malls. For millions of us, today's Christmas begins when "Feliz Navidad" beer ads start interrupting National … [Read more...]

Baptists face Christmas, present and future
This is the time of year when many pastors sit in their offices muttering, "It happened again."The Rev. Rick Lance knows all about that. He has long been one of the true believers who battle the waves of "Happy Holidays" messages that define one of their faith's holiest seasons as the civic tsunami between Halloween and the inevitable wrapping-paper wreckage on Christmas morning.The problem is that whining doesn't work. Thus, Lance has grown tired of preaching his all-to-familiar annual … [Read more...]
Celebrate Christmas — gasp! — in Christmas?
Father Dino Bottino didn't expect to spark a firestorm several years ago when he delivered his sermon about the true meaning of Christmas.Still, it didn't take long for outraged parents to leak one crucial statement -- that Father Christmas, also known as Santa Claus, isn't real -- to the Italian press. Headline writers around the world immediately felt a great disturbance in the Holiday Force, as if millions of tiny nonsectarian voices had cried out in terror.Clearly, this priest had … [Read more...]
The 30-something days of Xmas
There was a time when Christians did not celebrate a season that could be called the 30-something days of Christmas.In the year of our Lord 1939, the National Retail Dry Goods Association asked President Franklin D. Roosevelt to move Thanksgiving to the next-to-last Thursday in November. This was strategic, since President Abraham Lincoln had proclaimed the last Thursday of the month as the official holiday. This meant that Thanksgiving was occasionally delayed until a fifth Thursday -- a cruel … [Read more...]
Skipping the 12 days of Christmas
It was around 200 A.D., according to St. Clement of Alexandria, that theologians in Egypt settled on May 20 as the birthday of Jesus, while others argued for dates in April and March.This wasn't a major issue, since early Christians emphasized the Epiphany on Jan. 6, marking Christ's baptism. Then sometime before 354, Rome began celebrating the Feast of the Nativity on Dec. 25. Eastern churches kept using different dates, but the Roman custom became the norm by the end of the 4th century."It was … [Read more...]

I was blown away by the soft "dimple" texture and the true gray color of this cardstock. I just love it. It worked perfectly for my party invitations - I ran it through an ink jet printer with no problems or smudging, etc. I definitely recommend!!

In 2009, Gretchen Schock started Bee Yoga Fusion as a mobile yoga studio in Greenbelt, Maryland. Gretchen would show up at any venue to teach, from lunchtime corporate clients to home schooled children, and she hosted a donation only community class in the basement of a local church. Fast-forward seven years and Gretchen has now opened a boutique yoga studio at 111 Centerway (2nd floor) in Roosevelt Center, next to the New Deal Cafe.
Gretchen empowers students through creative exploration of yoga to achieve balance and enhance their quality of life. She first discovered yoga in 1999 while living in New York City.

Gretchen infuses her love of yoga and dance to connect with her students on a personal level, teaching from a place of authenticity.
Gretchen has taught over two thousand hours of yoga earning her the industry's highest certification of "Experienced Yoga Teacher".

Homepage >> Help >> Gemstone Selling Guide
Please Note: This is a best practice guideline created by the Gemstone selling community on bidorbuy. It is not a bidorbuy policy document.
This guide was drawn up by the Gemological Society of SA and is intended to increase consumer confidence and encourage buyers to do repeat business on bidorbuy. It serves as a way of 'levelling the playing field' between sellers so that the same standards apply to all and all have a fair chance of success.
This guide is intended for but not limited to all gemstone and jewellery articles including articles made from precious metals. The guide is an outline of the basic rules of conduct for these sales and is based on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC): GUIDES FOR THE JEWELRY, PRECIOUS METALS, AND PEWTER INDUSTRIES. In the case of any queries with regard to the information provided herein, the FTC document shall be referred to.
It is deceptive to misrepresent the type, kind, grade, quality, quantity, metallic content, size, weight, cut, colour, character, treatment, substance, durability, serviceability, origin, price, value, preparation, production, manufacture, distribution, or any other material aspect of an industry product. Such practice is forbidden.
1.1 It is deceptive to describe the colour of the stone in any way that misrepresents the colour of the actual stone. (Colour charts will be provided to give the exact hue, tone and saturation of the gemstone, details of which can accompany the seller?s description).
1.2 Diamond colours should be given according to the internationally accepted GIA colour grading scale. Colour grading should only be attempted by trained individuals using a master colour grading set.
3.2.1 It is deceptive to state false grading values for gemstones - including precious and so-called semi-precious stones whether mounted or loose.
3.2.2 Gemological Institute of America (GIA) clarity gradings are permissible, but are intended for use after examination of the gemstone by a properly trained individual under magnification of not less than 10X.
3.3 Standard gradings with no type distinction (Non-GIA accepted international grading) are as follows:
If sellers do not have the necessary tools or training to facilitate the above grading, it is admissible for them to use the following gradings using the eye, unaided by any form of magnification.
Eye-clean: For stones that display no inclusions when viewed in a face-up direction without magnification.
Moderately included: For stones that display small, or slightly visible inclusions when viewed in a face-up direction, without magnification.
Heavily included: For stones that display heavy and obvious inclusions when viewed in a face-up direction without magnification. This can range up to slightly translucent stones.
4.1 Gemstones (with the exception of pearls which are measured pearl grains - p grain) are measured in carats.
4.2 A Carat (not karat - this is a measure for gold purity) is a unit of weight and not one of size. 5 carats = 1 gram.
4.3 The weight of gemstone is measured in carats.
4.4 A carat can be divided into 100 parts, called points. E.g. 1.00 carat = 100 points.
4.5 The correct and accurate weight of gemstones must always be displayed clearly in all advertisements. Gemstone weights should be accurate to at least 0.05 of a carat.
4.6 For job lots where there is a possible variance in size between units, this variance must be specified and strictly adhered to.
4.7 Pearl weight is measured in grains and not carats
1 carat (ct) = 0.2 g = 4 p grains = 0.053 m
1 gram (g) = 5 cts = 20 p grains = 0.266 m
1 pearl grain (p grain) = 0.05 g = 0.25 ct = 0.013
5.1 The cut of the gemstones must be accurately described.
5.2 Tables will be attached explaining various common cutting styles including so-called native or step-cutting.
5.3 Important aspects to be conveyed to buyers are the overall symmetry of the cut as well the presence of any "windowing", "bow-tie", "read through" or "fish-eye" effect and the quality of facet meets.
5.4 It should also be made clear whether or not the pavilion and crown are cut deep or shallow.
5.5 The quality of the facet surface or "polish" should be indicated.
5.6 Any chips and/or scratches must be clearly and prominently indicated.
6.1 Any treatment or enhancement procedure a gemstone has undergone must be clearly indicated. In cases where it is unknown whether or not the gem has been treated the seller should state: Treatment/enhancements: Unknown.
6.2 In the case of corundum (Ruby and Sapphire) unless information has been furnished to the contrary gems treatments should include the phrase: Heated.
6.3 With emeralds, unless information has been furnished to the contrary gems treatments should include the phrase: Oiled.
6.4 Any other treatments known by the supplier must always be disclosed and clearly displayed. Known treatments must be specified. Treatments must not simply be described as: treated.
7.1 It should be stated clearly in both the body and title of a sale how many items are to be included in the sale.
7.2 Where the total carat weight is given for the combined items when they are to be sold individually, an indication of carat weight and size must be given for the individual items.
7.3 If there are ten items or less, individual information should be supplied on each gem stone.
7.4 Should the bulk items have any variance of any sort between gemstones, this must be stated clearly and prominently.
8. Appraisals/Valuations/Value Estimates
8.1 Written valuations/appraisals should be performed by independent third party jewellers or Gemmologists. Jewellers should not be used to value gemstones unless already set in a jewellery piece and then only on the value of the piece as a whole based on what they believe the stone to be.
8.2 It should be noted that most jewellers are goldsmiths or jewellery designers and do not have the necessary training to accurately identify gemstones. In such a case the appraisal is on the item as a piece and not on the gemstone.
8.3 The appraiser should be clearly identified in the listing and details of certificates to be provided given.
8.4 Where the seller is properly qualified to issue gemstone identification reports/certificates it is permissible, however appraisals/valuations will be frowned upon (and if reported, compared against comparative goods, to establish whether or not the price is legitimate) unless issued by an independent third party. It is unacceptable for sellers to make up their own value estimates or attempt to guess at or inflate any estimates at any time. Any attempt at such will be viewed as gross misrepresentation.
8.5 Value estimates should be undertaken using the standard provided estimated value chart or from the web based value estimate provided by Gemval. The valuation estimates must be marked clearly as such in the advertisement with any criteria entered in to come to the results.
8.6 The standard provided estimated value chart will contain estimated values only and will be available for buyers to examine for more information on the listing. It will also include ratios of certain gems to establish their value after having undergone certain treatments (e.g. Be treatment of sapphires).
8.7 It must also be stated that the estimated values are for reference only and are based only on the data which was entered, any of which could have an impact on the price if incorrect.
8.8 Any valuations/appraisals should indicate whether they are market (trade), wholesale or retail value.
8.9 No other external price-estimating service will be accepted unless first submitted for approval after which it will be added to this document.
9. Gem Synthetics and Simulants
9.1 Synthetic, refers to gems (including pearls) that have been synthesized and have the optical, physical, and chemical properties of their natural counterpart.
9.2 "Synthetic", "cultured" (in the case of pearls), "laboratory-created", laboratory-grown" and "man-made" are terms which can be used to describe synthetic gems. These words must appear in the main title of the advertisement.
9.3 Simulants are imitations of the actual gem and do not share the chemical make-up or properties of their natural counterpart. The word "simulated" or "imitation" must appear in the main title of the advertisement.
9.4 It is misrepresentation and fraudulent to attempt to sell either synthetic or simulated stones as their natural counterparts or to fail to disclose that they are not natural. It is also a misrepresentation to claim attributes to any synthetic or simulated stones which the actual article does not possess.
9.5 In the case of diamond simulants it is permissible to use the terms "diamond-like", "imitation diamond" or "simulated diamond". This must also appear in the main title of the advertisement.
9.6 The following phrases are misleading and are therefore not permissible: "Diamond CZ", "Diamond Moissanite", or any other phrases which imply that there is an actual diamond being advertised.
9.7 With all simulants the phrase, "this/these is/are an imitation of their natural counterpart/s and should not be confused with the genuine article" should be displayed prominently in the advertisement.
9.8 With all synthetics the phrase "this/these is/are man-made versions of their counterpart/s found in nature and while they share the optical, physical, and chemical should not be confused with the natural article" should be displayed prominently in the advertisement.
9.9 It is deceptive to use the word "real", "genuine", "natural", "precious", "semi-precious" or similar terms to describe any industry product that is manufactured or produced artificially.
9.10 Use of the word "gem" with respect to synthetic stones should be avoided as few possess the necessary attributes to properly be termed "gems".
9.11 Simulants should never be described as "gems".
9.12 Not all diamonds or natural stones, including those classified as precious stones, possess the necessary attributes to be properly termed "gems".
10.1 All above gemstones rules apply so diamonds with the following additions:
10.2 Diamonds are to be graded using the internationally accepted GIA colour grading system.
10.3 The colour of a diamond refers to the amount of yellow, brown or gray body colour that a stone possesses. The G.I.A. scale starts at "D" and goes through "Z". "D" being colourless, and "Z", having a light yellow brown or gray colour.
10.4 Diamond colour gradings should be performed by properly qualified persons only using a master diamond colour grading set.
10.5 Any other colours are known as "fancy colours" and require specialised grading.
10.6 As above, all treatments and enhancements (including but not limited to all treatments mentioned above as well as HPHT treatment, laser drilling and glass filling) must be disclosed as these can dramatically affect the value of the diamonds.
10.7 No simulated diamond (Glass, CZ, Moissanite, Paste etc) advertisements should use the word "diamond" in their main title and at no point should they be referred to as such. Where weight is given as the equivalent diamond weight, the actual weight of the simulant must also be supplied.
10.8 The cut used in diamonds should be correctly described as this can directly impact on the brilliance and dispersion qualities of the stone. The preferred cut for diamonds is a round brilliant.
10.9 For stones over 0.5 carats in weight, proportions (or measurements) should be given for the table, girdle, pavilion and culet. When possible, it is preferable to also state the table and pavilion angles. These all affect the value of the diamond.
This guide will have additions added as the information becomes available or international standards alter because of new findings or for any other reason. Any additional submissions will be posted on the forum for full display to all parties and opportunity given for comment thereon after which they will be added to the rules on the agreement on the majority.

Hitchcock's "Vertigo" kicks off a summer of classics - Article, Office of College Advancement
Tuesday, June 11, 2013—Reprinted from Tri-City Voice.
Submitted by Ohlone College.
To this day, it is still true that nothing beats the classics, and the Smith Center's SummerFest 2013 proves exactly that. Witness classic films and live performances throughout the coming summer nights at the Smith Center outdoor amphitheatre at Ohlone College, starting off with Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo."
First released in 1958, the film had initially received mixed reviews. At present day, it is considered a Hitchcock classic that is one of the most defining works of his career. In fact, it was even named Sight and Sound's "Greatest Film of All Time" in 2012. Set in the beautiful city of San Francisco, stars James Stewart and Kim Novak go through disorienting twists and turns, keeping your head spinning towards an inevitable conclusion. Hold on to the edge of your seat as you watch this psychological thriller, showing Friday, June 14.
Two other movies will be shown beneath the starry skies of the East Bay this summer at Ohlone College. Bring the entire family on a journey to China as you watch a well-loved classic, Disney's "Mulan." This inspirational story of a young lady's battle for honor, bravery, and heroism will be shown on June 28. Travel back to the City by the Bay once more on August 23 to laugh out loud with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal in the 1972 comedy film, "What's Up Doc?"
SummerFest 2013 also offers live performances in the month of July. If you saw "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the amphitheatre in last year's SummerFest, brace yourself to see it again, now as a live, fully-staged musical to be performed by The Actor's Theatre Center! In addition, Ohlone College's Theater Department will perform the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway drama "Proof" in the NUMMI Theatre at the Ohlone College Smith Center. Get ready to have your August nights rocked with the hits of the late King of Rock and Roll in StarStruck Theatre's a musical comedy "All Shook Up."
Enjoy a classic summer of music, merriment, and moral lessons at this year's SummerFest. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit smithcenter.com.

Category: Captioning (show less)
You don't have to be an athlete to get into this game. If you're a captioner who's been sitting on the sidelines because you don't know a lot about sports, you're intimidated by all of the names or you just don't know where to start to make that transition, then join Amy Bowlen for a glimpse into this already vast and still growing area of sports captioning.
Let's talk about why sports captioning is different from other types of broadcast captioning and delve into specific sports topics, such as unique preparation per sport, research sources, differences among levels of competition, i.e., professional versus amateur, college versus high school, team sports versus individual sports and the difference between national network coverage and regional network coverage.
We'll also discuss sports terminology, placement of captions and important time considerations when it comes to scheduling yourself for sports programming.
Attend this webinar, apply what you learn, and before you know it, you'll be singing, "Put me in, Coach, I'm ready to play."
This webinar is proudly sponsored by the NCRA Captioning Community of Interest.
