Hometown: Valparaiso, IN
High School: Boone Grove
Major: Biology
Minors: Health Therapy & Athletic Training
Clubs and Activities: Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, cross country, track and field
What are your plans after graduation?
I am attending graduate school at Bellarmine University to be a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I was accepted to the University of Indianapolis and Bellarmine University, which is in Louisville, Kentucky. I decided to apply to these schools based on their reputation, as well as recommendations from other students. A teammate and alumna from SJC, Megan Davis '12, is in the program at Bellarmine and has a lot of good things to say about it, which also helped me make my decision to go there. I also felt very comfortable and welcome in Louisville, and I really liked their facility.
What are your specific career plans?
I plan to work as a physical therapist at an outpatient clinic near Valparaiso and eventually get into a career specializing in sports physical therapy.
How has SJC helped you get into these programs?
The faculty has been a great help to me throughout the entire process. It was very easy to ask for letters of recommendation. Fr. Bill Stang, C.PP.S. '72 and Assistant Professor of Computer Science Brian Capouch both wrote me a letter of recommendation and gave advice in choosing which school best fit me. Associate Professor of Management and Marketing Teresa Massoels '89 helped me with everything from application difficulties to scholarship applications. Athletic Director Bill Massoels '89 also helped me with the process of applying to and choosing a school. No matter what problems or questions I had, I was able to go to someone who helped me through it.
How were faculty members in your department helpful?
The faculty members in my department were a great help. Any time I had questions I felt comfortable talking to them. They were also helpful with finding a graduate school, writing letters of recommendation, and finding the classes I needed to graduate.
Why did you choose SJC?
I felt really comfortable with the coaches, the faculty, and my teammates. It was also a good distance from home—not too far and not too close.
What was your experience like at SJC?
I have had a positive experience. I appreciate the connections I have made with my teachers and how comfortable I feel communicating with them.
How do you feel about the Core Program?
The Core Program is a good idea. It has been helpful in making me a more well rounded person.
Tell us about your internship.
I did a summer internship through the school where I observed at a physical therapy clinic. It was easy to complete and was a great advantage for my major, future, career and for applying to grad schools.
What advice would you give to a future student?
Pick a major you will enjoy working at—it will make the difficult semesters easier to get through.
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.
Get real-life experience and become an excellent communicator.

Firewood in Denver
Firewood is not always easy to find in this city, which is why Denver firewood suppliers are such a vital resource to those who burn wood inside and outdoors. Most customers seek out their services for camping trips, which require enough wood to burn for several days. These suppliers can meet customer needs with large inventories of wood for incredibly low prices, which selections that typically include walnut, pine, birch, plum, and eucalyptus wood.

New Year's Resolutions For Sourcing Professionals: Eat Less, Exercise More, And Implement Strategic Software Sourcing
Posted by Duncan Jones on January 18, 2013
- 452 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Avoid the 2013 holiday rush – start your year-end software negotiations now! Have you just about recovered from several adversarial, transactional software procurement negotiations last month? Have you resolved to avoid a similar situation next year? Then Forrester's Strategic Software Sourcing Playbook can help you.
Apparently 38% of Americans made weight-related resolutions in 2012, and 67% of people with gym memberships never use them. So my advice is to shun anything you've seen in a TV infomercial ("we called it Lunacy because you'd have to be mad to buy it") and instead make your New Year's resolution to be more strategic and proactive in your software buying in 2013. Our Playbook, launched today, explains how to do that.
Reactive, adversarial software buying is ineffective in the new business technology (BT) world of self-provisioning, cloud deployment, and mobile access. IT sourcing professionals' colleagues bypass them in the sourcing process, while powerful technology vendors expect more revenue from them than they can afford to provide. Software sourcing professionals rarely have alternative suppliers that they can use as negotiation leverage, so you need something more than your natural charm and belligerence if you are to be effective. Forrester's solution is a strategic approach that aligns the commercial model for each supplier with its place in the enterprise's software sourcing strategy.
The three foundations of Forrester's strategic software sourcing approach are:
1. Supplier tiering that identifies preferred and prohibited sources of new technology. A formal process increases the sourcing executive's negotiation leverage by enabling you to show a delinquent supplier how poor service or over-charging now will jeopardize its chances of winning future business.
2. Software category sourcing strategies that take account of all relevant criteria. This strategy adds the supplier tiering described above to traditional functionality assessment and portfolio considerations in order to define whether the organization will sole- or multisource in a specific product area, and from whom.
3. Commercial agreements that fit the supplier's place in this sourcing strategy. The overall sourcing strategy enables buyers to decide when they can safely commit to multiyear enterprise-wide deals, and thereby get the best possible prices and contract terms, and when to keep to smaller deals that target flexibility over price.
Our Playbook explains how and why to implement this model, with analysis of the major software pricing and licensing trends and their likely future impact. It also covers best practices for planning and executing the actual negotiations, and for ongoing optimization of the software sourcing process, including balanced deal assessment and software license optimization. Over the next few months we'll add reports on how to make the process transformation, deepen your supplier intelligence, and improve the ongoing relationships.
Bottom Line: There is no magic solution to the main challenge of software sourcing in 2013, which is that the Technoligarchy (the oligarchy of powerful incumbent technology suppliers) has the upper hand in most negotiations. However, Forrester's Strategic Software Sourcing approach can help by enabling software sourcing executives to assemble all available bargaining leverage and focus it on getting the best possible deals. Why not make implementing it one of your resolutions for 2013?

I don't support war with Iran. Not at all. But I would rather live in a country that invades other countries aggressively for no purpose beyond the gains of an elite financial minority than in a country which threatens to do that and then gets laughed at because the whole world knows it won't follow through.
I'll tell ya what, George Bush was an unbelievable bastard, but Obama has turned this thing into a complete circus.
Everyone is laughing but us.
From Arutz Shiva:
Iran has mocked US President Barack Obama's warnings that the military option is still on the table to prevent the Islamic regime's nuclear aspirations, calling the threats "the joke of the year."
General Saeed Masoud Jazzayeri, Aide to Basij (local Islamist militia) Affairs and General Headquarters Defense Publicity in the Iranian military, laughed at Obama's recent warnings of possible American military intervention in the Middle East.
"The low-IQ US president and his country's Secretary of State John Kerry speak of the effectiveness of 'the US options on the table' on Iran, while this phrase is mocked at and has become a joke among the Iranian nation, especially the children," said Jazzayeri according to the Iranian semi-official Fars News Agency.
The general added on previous Iranian threats, warning that US forces in the region can be struck by Iran. "If they err, the region will be turned into a hell for them," threatened Jazzayeri.
Jazzayeri claimed that the US public doubts Obama's military threats as well; indeed, last Sunday Senator John McCain (R-AZ) slammed Obama for being the most "naive president in history."
What a funny joke. The United States of America, and their low-IQ black President who does nothing but talk about how great and heroic and brave it is for a man to stick his penis up another man's butthole, and threatens the whole world while never doing anything, ever, are a barrel of laughs.
This ape is mocked ceaselessly by the whole world. And so are we – each one of us – for putting this monkey in charge of us.
May God help us.

this is very good just wish the price was lower
Reviewing 7.0 Beta 3 (Jan 16, 2015)
New Windows 8 look, & disk cleanup tools have been re-written, I can live with the new look & it's still a most useful program - Recommended for those who like to delve into the registry.
Reviewing 6.55 Beta 3 (Jul 26, 2014)
The latest additions on version & the & the last update are unwanted & unneeded, the author does what he thinks is right but does not listen to his customers, yet more pointless changes with this version, though still a good program for those who tinker with the registry - This is expensive software & I would not pay the sites asking place but search for discounts - If the program gets more unwanted changes in time I will ditch it.
Reviewing 6.30 (Nov 20, 2013)
After doing a search I was able to get a license for about £12, expensive if you pay the asking price but a handy program.

Could not have been a nicer day in Lake Placid for the first full day of the adult portion of the 2012 Lake Placid Summit Classic. Morning clouds burned off to sunny skies and temperatures in the high 80s, pretty hot for this region.
Got a chance to see some Open and Master's I games Friday, and catch up with many of the same people that come back and make this tournament so great every year.
Best anecdote of the day is probably that Gary Gait, Regy Thorpe and Brett Queener hired a driver to take them to Hamilton for their MLL game with the Nationals Saturday night. Rochester Rattler Kevin Leveille, and Lake Placid associate director) is hitching a ride, getting dropped off in Rochester and picked back up so all of them are back for Sunday's finals. Although Leveille said he was planning on sleeping the whole way, that could be some amazing lacrosse conversation between those four talents.
Was able to see the top three Open teams in Breakaway, Big Red Steelheads and Burning Orange. All three cruised to victories in their first action of the tournament, with some big names playing well for their squads. Also saw the top two Masters I teams in Burnt Orange and Motive Pure.
I wasn't able to see Power-Tek in the Open or Graph-Tex in the Masters I, but here's some observations from the teams I did see Friday.
Big Red Steelheads
Rob Pannell looked solid in his second major tournament of the summer (he played in Vail as well), scoring a hat trick in Big Red's 19-10 win over the Crease Monkeys. Talked to Pierce Derkac and John Glynn and they said the old Smithtown connection between Pannell and Drexel's Scott Perri (five goals in the second quarter) was lethal. Pannell said he was about 90%, and will be working on his own this fall before arriving back at Cornell for the spring. David Lau also had two goals and an assist for Steelheads. Well-balanced team, with Cornell's Andrew West in goal and Glynn taking face-offs. This team is mostly Cornell grads, playing in the honor of former Cornell player David Holder.
Team Breakaway/Wiseguys
This is a deep and diverse squad featuring players from schools including Johns Hopkins, Syracuse and Maryland. They took out Team IAS 11-6, behind Brendan Loftus (2G), Brandon Spillett (2G, 1A) and Kevin Rice (4G). Spillett has to roll back to Syracuse so he'll be missed on Breakaway's attack. Nice one-two punch on face-offs with Hopkins stud Mike Poppleton and former Charlotte Hound Corey Bulken, who were working on their technique on the sideline, which was pretty cool to see. Jack Reilly looked pretty tough on D.
Burning Orange
The Syracuse-only squad started a little slow — par for the course for every team I spoke with today — but turned it on late in a 13-7 win over a tough Team Steak/NESLL squad that got two goals and two assists from Vermont's Drew Philie and two goals from Duke's Josh Dionne. Mike Leveille had two goals and an assist, including a ridiculous catch-and-finish in traffic off a low pass. Jake Plunket, who Jeff Serge and I agree might be the all-time MVP of the Lake Placid Summit Classic, had two early goals for BO and looked like the machine he always is. He usually plays with Graph-Tex in the Open but has joined Burning Orange, while also moving up with the old Graph-Tex nucleus to the Masters I Division. Brian Megill looked dangerous taking face-offs and scoring one goal. Chris Daniello and future Orangeman Mike Daniello, both wearing No. 14, each had a goal.
Motive Pure
Lotta buzz about this team that returns for a second year after falling to Burnt Orange in last year's championship game. Little more depth this year thanks to the additions of Jamie Hanford on D, and Austin Garrison and Dan Chemotti at midfield. Well-balanced squad, with Andy Towers taking face-offs and Mike Zoanetti back in goal. I stood between MP's game with Big Red Steelheads and the Burning Orange-Smokey Joe's game, so my stats might not be 100% complete. Garrison and Chris Massey had hat tricks, Mike Regan had two and Jimmy Keenan had three assists. The great Jesse Hubbard, whose Motive Pure rehydration drink is the title sponsor of the tournament, had a goal. Motive Pure, without Jon Hess (who arrives tomorrow from a wedding), took out Big Red Steelheads 13-4.
Burnt Orange
Pretty hard not to get caught up watching an attack of Mike and Ryan Powell and Liam Banks, who combined for at least eight points. Mike Powell is still ridiculously quick; he was blowing by guys all game and missed on what would have been a nice dunk shot late in the game. Casey Powell was also unstoppable, with at least three points. And Roy Colsey scored on one sweet snipe on the run where I have no idea how he got the ball in the top corner. Amazing to see how hard these guys were going on hustle plays, Mike on the ride and Casey on a sweet face-off GB to fastbreak through two defenders to feed to Banks. One great moment was Ric Beardsley carrying upfield on the break, yelling "Just like the old days" to Colsey running next to him. Beardsley didn't finish the shot. Walking to the parking lot, Colsey compared playing with the Powells to the shell game in NYC: if you turn your head for a second you have no idea where the ball is.

Nice way to start over!! Enjoy your wins and hope many more will be coming your way.
I started sweeping again last month after taking a lot of time off from it (over a year) because I was so burnt out. This week has been incredible and I wish I hadn't taken such a large break, lol.
Saturday I won a $25 Orange Leaf gift card at my church's Easter Egg hunt. That night I won a $50 Visa e-gift card on the Glad - 100 Ways to Get Glad IW (still trying to get that win verified). Today I found out I won a $25 gift card to Buca di Beppo on my local mall's Facebook page. Wow! I have never won so much in a short time - in fact I think I only won one other thing worth $50 back when I was doing this a lot. I am so grateful. Keep on keepin' on people! I am doing nothing special!
Nice way to start over!! Enjoy your wins and hope many more will be coming your way.
Great wins to many more Welcome back.
CONGRATS scaithamer!!!
As to ruing not returning sooner? You *might* not have caught the good timing wave if you had!
Sweepers by nature are *always* looking for a free lunch, but if you value your time over your $$$, then upgrading to PLUS at less than a dime a day gives you the best bang for your $$$!
Congratulations!! on all of your Win's
Congratulations! Super week!

Anti-laundering bill talks to continue today
…after APNU finally presents amendments
A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) MPs yesterday finally submitted proposed amendments to the anti-laundering bill for consideration in the select committee of Parliament which will require an additional day for drafting and consideration by the committee.
After three days of meetings this past week – Monday, Tuesday and Thursday – the committee members agreed on a meeting on Saturday and again yesterday with the hopes of having the bill back in the House today. However, the process required to formalize APNU's amendments so that they could be properly considered by the committee requires work and so after a more than seven-hour meeting yesterday, deliberations remained incomplete.
A meeting will therefore be held at midday today as the committee scrambles to finish considering the Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill by or before the National Assembly sitting at 14:00 hrs. Guyana was blacklisted by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force last November over the absence of the legislation and there are fears that a range of financial transactions can be adversely affected.
Ever since the Bill was committed to a parliamentary special select committee last April, APNU has argued that it has amendments to propose, although last evening is the first time the opposition made a formal presentation of their proposed amendments to the committee.
APNU is asking that an independent authority of some sort be charged with oversight of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), and that the personnel of the authority as well as the FIU be selected by the National Assembly, as opposed to government ministers. This, according to APNU MP Joseph Harmon will remove any idea that the FIU and its operatives are biased.
The opposition, as stated by APNU MP and Shadow Legal Affairs Minister Basil Williams during a press conference on Friday, also wants to expand the locations where money suspected to be the proceeds of crime, could be investigated and seized, and increase the classifications of officers endowed with the authority to carry out such actions.
Currently, money suspected to be laundered or terrorist finance can only be seized at the point of entry and exit, but APNU wants such seizures to become possible at any point domestically.
Though APNU members obviously think highly of their recommendations it was clear that government representatives to the committee are not impressed.
Finance Minister Ashni Singh told reporters that the opposition's recommendations did not address the legislation before the committee, but the Principal Act of 2009. As a result, the opposition, by virtue of making such recommendations, has forced the committee into considering matters outside its remit, he added.
Even more troubling, Singh says, is that the opposition's amendments, in addition to being several months late, are poorly articulated, and that government members were still not entirely clear on what they are asking for.
He explained that "two separate pieces of papers were presented by two separate opposition members of parliament, and clearly two pieces of paper which were uncoordinated, as they collided with each other." As a result, the committee had to break for approximately one hour as opposition members worked to consolidate their proposals, which they eventually succeeded in doing, Singh continued. Despite the consolidation of their proposals though, Singh lamented that the recommendations remain flawed and disjointed.
He said that the government's protests were communicated to the opposition, while Legal Affairs Minister Anil Nandlall said that he pointed out that the opposition's recommendations, if implemented, could collide with the standards set by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF). As it relates to the seizure of money at any point in Guyana, Minister within the Finance Ministry Juan Edghill said that such an act would make money contraband – a dangerous thing to since Guyana was a cash-based society and deals with big cash sums to carry out transactions.
Finally, the government pointed out that the majority of the clauses contained in the bill were non-contentious, and said that the work of the committee could have been finished a long time ago if the opposition had come forward with their recommendations earlier.
On the other hand, APNU MP and point person on the committee, Carl Greenidge, told Stabroek News that there is nothing wrong with the coalition's timing, especially since APNU does not have the convenience of its own drafting personnel and has to depend on the state for same.
As 22:30 hrs. approached the committee members realised that the work could not be finished last evening and so they adjourned after agreeing to meet at midday today. But, the government said that the opposition members did not seem keen on trying to meet before the sitting today and only agreed to today's on their insistence. Singh says that he hopes the opposition abandons their unreasonable demands by today's meeting.
Today is Guyana's last chance to pass the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill before a Financial Action Task Force Meeting and possible further blacklisting.
Additionally, even if the bill is successfully laid in the house, the opposition has threatened to vote it down if the President does not commit to giving assent to bills he has refused same.

The dimension of an object is defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify each point in the object. A line, therefore, is one-dimensional as you only need an x-coordinate to specify a particular point on the line.

Doyle Brunson published a poker strategy guide in 1978, and this really helped increase the popularity of the game.

SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. Usually cameras with changeable lenses are the SLR type. The main feature of an SLR is that a mirror reflects the image seen through the lens out through the viewfinder, so that the photographer sees exactly what the lens sees. The mirror moves out of the way as the picture is taken, and the image that comes through the lens falls onto unexposed film, or nowadays onto a digital sensor.

Sela Ward turns up in crosswords a lot. She played Teddy Reed in the TV show "Sisters" in the nineties, and was in "Once and Again" from 1999-2002. I don't know either show, but I do know her from the medical drama "House" in which she played the hospital's lawyer, and Greg House's ex-partner. That was a fun role, I thought. Now she has turned up on "CSI: NY", a very welcome and much-needed addition to the cast ...

All North American Aviation project names started with the letters "NA", hence the name "Navaho".

He continued to run into trouble because of his ethnicity though, and in 1968 was denied entry into South Africa to play in the South African Open. In 1979 Ashe suffered a heart attack and had bypass surgery, with follow-up surgery four years later during which he contracted HIV from blood transfusions. Ashe passed away in 1993, due to complications from AIDS. Shortly afterwards, Ashe was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton.
132. Filtered stuff : SPAM
I think that the oft-quoted story may be true that the term SPAM, used for unwanted email, is taken from a "Monty Python" sketch. In the famous sketch the dialog is taken over by the word SPAM, a play on the glut of canned meat in the markets in Britain after WWII. So SPAM is used for the glut of emails that takes over online communication. I can just imagine nerdy Internet types adopting something from a "Monty Python" sketch to describe an online phenomenon ...
133. Home to the sport of hurling : EIRE
Hurling is the national sport of my homeland, Ireland. It's played with a stick called a hurley and a ball called a sliotar. It's thought to be the fastest team sport in the world, and certainly has to be the oldest as it predates Christianity and was brought to Ireland by the Celts.

140. Santa ___ : ANA
Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County, California, taking its name from the Santa Ana River that runs through the city. The Santa Ana winds are the very dry air currents that sweep offshore late in the year in Southern California. Because they are so dry, they are noted for their influence over forest fires in the area, especially in the heat of the fall. The winds arise from a buildup of air pressure in the Great Basin that lies between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. Under the right conditions, that air spills over the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, and basically "falls" down the side of the Sierra range, heading for the ocean. As the air falls, it becomes drier and heats up, so that relative humidity can fall to below 10% by the time it hits the coast.

Organisation is key
July 6th, 2010
Ever feel like your clothes are taking over your home? Are you guilty of using a floordrobe instead of a wardrobe? Then it's time to get organised! Having a good sort out of the contents of your wardrobes/drawers/piles of clothes you have is great way to become more organised in your outfit choices too! It should also make it much easier to get dressed in a morning, especially if you can actually find the top you want to wear that goes perfectly with that skirt.
Clothes should be organised in a way that makes sense to you. However;
- Organising by style makes it easier to put an outfit together and will also help when you need to find something quickly.
- You can also sort by casual wear and evening wear, keeping your best clothes separate is a good idea when particular fabrics are concerned. Silks can be kept away from more abrasive textures and fabrics such as cashmere should always be stored in moth-proof bags, particularly this time of year, they do go for the good stuff!
- Sorting by colour can make picking out an item much easier, this will help you to distinguish which colours you tend to go for the most and what colours are missing from your wardrobe. We all have our 'safe' colours, but by organising your clothes and finding out which colours are missing could open a whole new exciting area for you to explore.
- Don't stop at clothes get your shoes, accessories and handbags organised too! Having accessories such as belts and jewellery on display will encourage you to wear what you have rather than sticking to the same old pieces. We can often forget we have certain accessories when they are kept tucked away in a drawer or cupboard, so by seeing them we might remember to wear them and make the most of the accessories we already have!
Unfortunately we can't all have a walk-in wardrobe à la Carrie Bradshaw, but most of us could better organise the clothes we do have to make the most of what we've already got and you never know what hidden gems you might find tucked away at the back of your wardrobe!

This. Exactly. I had many issues with my nose, and my lips as a teenager. But as I've aged a bit (24 now) I've started to love them because they make me unique.You and your nose look absolutely fine in each picture. I'm guessing from your posts and your pictures that you are a teenager. That can be a difficult time as far as accepting and loving your looks goes (and as far as many things go!), but it will keep getting better.
And your nose is cute. I like it and there's nothing wrong with it. Suits your face well and gives you a very nice profile.

Breast Implant Removal-should Have Done Years Ago - Boca Raton, FL
Hi, I'm 41 year old with 2 kids. I used to work in Miami when I got married and wanted to look as good as everyone else. I was a 34 C and wanted to "fill" it up. So I got implants, but the doctor advised getting larger ones so I wouldn't need a lift. I ended up with 675 saline under the muscle. At that time I was around 120 lbs, 5'7 (in 2001). I loved them but I looked ridiculous. After... READ MORE

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Yost Ice Arena, home to the University of Michigan ice hockey team, will host an American Hockey League preseason game between the Lake Erie Monsters and Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m. In addition to the AHL contest, Michigan will also hold its annual "Skate with the Wolverines" event following a Blue/White Alumni game.
The AHL is the top developmental league for the National Hockey League, with all 30 teams securing affiliations to NHL clubs. Lake Erie serves as the AHL affiliate to the Colorado Avalanche and the Griffins, which signed former Michigan captain Luke Glendening to an AHL contract during the offseason, hold that distinction for the Detroit Red Wings.
In conjunction with the AHL game, the Michigan ice hockey team will hold its annual "Skate with the Wolverines" event following the Blue/White Alumni game. The alumni exhibition will begin at 5 p.m., with "Skate with the Wolverines" scheduled to run from approximately 5:45-6:15 p.m.
Ticket information for the day's events will be released at a later date.

Lance 1575 Travel Trailer
Super slide & 2655 dry weight, small is the new big
If you're looking for more room, you're going to really be impressed with the 1575. Due to our lightweight engineering technology, we were able to fit the 1575 with our "Super Slide" dinette and kept the weight at just 2655 pounds*. With large windows and skylights in the living and bath areas - this trailer feels much larger than other trailers of similar size.
Besides the solid Lance engineering including Azdel™ which replaces wood from walls and our Lite-Ply™ that makes cabinets strong and light - you get the completely redesigned decors with glazed cabinet doors, stunning counters and table tops to name a few. The 1575 also features a dry bath and very comfortable sleeping for 4, all standard. The 1575. Small is the new big in this small travel trailer.

Personalize your Lance by selecting from one of three tasteful interiors, assembled by an interior design team to create both stunning and functional Lance interiors. You'll find beautiful woods, wall treatments, and fabric combinations with dinette cushions that feature reversible cushions, providing two different looks with each decor.
Lance Design and Construction. The Legacy of Quality Begins Here.
3D advanced CAD engineering creates precise plans that run CNC machinery. The result is that every part is the same and perfect every time. Keeping it all together are stainless steel fasteners. Unlike our competitors, this expensive hardware resists corrosion making for a lasting investment.
When considering the purchase of any RV, you want to look beneath the surface. Of course our aerodynamic nose cap is both resiliant and attractive, the glossy fiberglass beautiful, and the new designer interiors luxurious, yet practical and liveable. But it's the things you don't see like stainless fasteners that don't rust, Azdel eliminates wood from the walls along with rot and mold and construction of interiors with Lite-ply - the same wood used in corporate jets for a good look and light weight. Once you look past our rugged, good looks - feel free to look where others hope you won't - and you'll see why a Lance will be your travel companion for many journeys to come.
Click on the round flashing "hot spots" on the cut-away image below to learn more about our key components and Discover The Lance Difference for yourself!
The roof is made of energy-star rated TPO with vents that clamp in place eliminating screws and potential leaks. Integrated rain gutters and drip spouts prevent the sides of your coach from streaking.
Rigid block foam insulation yields maximum "R" value and resists sagging and promotes structural strength.
Interiors are constructed of Lite-Ply imported from Europe. This superior product is solid, lighter and stronger providing increased "R" value, beauty and durability.
Keeping it all together are stainless steel fasteners. Unlike our competitors, this expensive hardware resists corrosion making for a lasting investment.
All seals used are anti-wicking material to prevent moisture from transfering to the laminate walls.
Lance uses more expensive Azdel in the place of Luan wood virtually eliminating the mold of mildew. It's also lighter and has better "R" value for superior insulation.
Lance's aluminium framed super-structure provides for an extremely solid trailer that is also light-weight.
Heavy duty rubber torsion-bar suspension axles with EZ-lube bearings insure a smooth ride and easy maintenance, and self adjusting brakes.
Engineered super lightweight powder coated tempered steel custom chassis Huck bolt construction eliminates weak and rust-prone welds.
High quality fiberglass exterio panels are laminated under intense pressure with heat-setting adhesives for years of trouble-free serivce.


text: Posted September 6, 2012 No surprise they took care of business LW against Crap State. But, They didn't cover the 28 point spread. Rio found his groove a little late and Hardy dropped a TD pass. Like I said in the game thread, they should of hung 50 on app. ASU had more players go down with cramps than they had scoring drives. Anyway, ECU travels down to Columbia to face the #9 cocks. -23 point dogs and if the d can stop lattimore they could make it interesting. BTW: USC is 3-5 in the last 8 vs ECU and should of lost LY. The last time USC lost a home against a non SEC team was in 1999 against? ECU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh, the subtle treacheries of partial differentiation. Note that by your
In[71]:= av[Exp[-x y] + h, x] - av[Exp[-x y], x]
Out[71]= h
So that
In[72]:= Limit[(av[Exp[-x y] + h, x] - av[Exp[-x y], x])/h, h -> 0]
Out[72]= 1
So both your "correct" and "incorrect" answers are consistent with the chain
rule and and the above computation of partial derivatives. So why is D
computing the partial derivative in such a stupid way? Well, it isn't, at
least not directly. D correctly computes the partial derivative as
f'[x] * Derivative[1, 0][av][f[x], x] + Derivative[0, 1][av][f[x],x]
But now Derivative helpfully tries compute these partials using pure functions,
and then your definitions kick in, giving 1 and 0 for the partials. In
particular, your third definitions means av[#1,#2]& === #1, and you're doomed.
So you want to abort the automatic differentiation rules with your own custom
rule, which you can do with the following syntax:
av /: D[av[f_, x_], y_] /; x =!= y := av[D[f, y], x]
In[65]:= D[av[Exp[-x y], x], y]
Out[65]= -av[E^(-x y) x, x]

Consolidation? Not Right Now...
It's just not the right time. That was the message from Alachua County's state lawmakers today about a study of consolidating the Gainesville Police Department and the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
The bill and possible merger have brought out a lot of strong emotions and the delegation decided to drop the bill.
Those in favor of the bill say it was only to study consolidation and to take a closer look at combining resources in a tough economy, not necessarily to implement a merger. But most of the people who spoke today at a public meeting said it was a prejudiced bill that would inevitably diminish the rights of Gainesville's citizens.
Mayor Craig Lowe said, "The people of Gainesville should not be forced to raise their hard earned dollars to wage a campaign against an external threat to take away the most fundamental function of government."
Most who spoke today at the Thomas Center were against unification and a study they say is designed to force consolidation.
Candidate for City Commission Susan Bottcher said, "It says the commission shall submit a proposed law enforcement unification plan..you've already pre-determined the outcome. This needs to be re-written."
The bill proposed forming a commission of 30 community members to research the pros and cons of a merger and then to possibly present a unification plan to voters in 2012. But a funding source for the study was not determined.
City Commissioner Thomas Hawkins said, "Do not create a committee without funding it's work or you're going to get what you pay for."
After hearing dozens of comments on the issue, with concerns ranging from the composition of the commission to the resources required, State Senator Steve Oelrich made a motion to withdraw the bill.
Oelrich said, "The final analysis there is so much controversy about this particular issue that we're going to let things remain as they are." He said he believes that consolidation would save millions, but it wont be possible until the community is open to it. Oelrich said, "It should be a rallying point rather than a point of division or animosity."
The legislative delegation voted unanimously to kill the bill, much to the relief of those who've been fighting it. Lowe said, "Well I'm grateful to the legislative delegation for their hearing the citizens and being responsive to the citizens concerns." But the idea of a study might be sticking around. State Representative Elizabeth Porter said, "I don't agree that a study is a bad idea because I think more education is always better."
Although this bill initiated by local police union Police Benevolent Association failed, residents could start a petition to put it on the ballot in the future or a re-draft of the bill could continue the discussion of consolidation.

But I'll keep the British invasion to a single entry you may not have heard of: House of Cards.
I telled him that I should think that a single entry would be as many times as such a debt as ours ought to be chalked down.
When I took charge of the books, they were kept by single entry; and Mr. Lawrence daily examined every entry to detect errors.
There are but two methods or systems of bookkeeping, and they are known as single entry and double entry.
The two have been merged into a single entry in the correct place.
Oh, had there but been one, one single entry dated Sunday, July 4th!
Let a single entry in a laboratory note-book suffice for proof.
In some cases a whole week is passed over without a single entry being made.
I could read nothing but the moneys and one single entry—'Corinths, Vs.'
Mostly it seemed a dry, uninteresting thing, a mere memorandum, where a single entry might cover a whole year.
