Hi there! Thanks for reading my blog.
As far as I can see there are several motivations for people to start a blog and conquer a private spot on the world-wide-web. I have had blogs before, mostly for the amusement of myself, friends and family. But as an ICT professional and one with many interests… I decided to start this one with the ambition and hope to provide good resources, tutorials and share my work with anyone interested.
Ok all nice and well… but maybe I should introduce myself first…
I am a Dutchie but moved to Oz.
I am a graphics freelancer and IT professional. I recently got hired as a web designer / developer for a SEO company in Sydney. I have been working in ICT for over 8 years, mostly as a system developer for Microsoft platforms and environments. I have significant experience in all aspects of the development life-cycle such as functional design, technical design, development and testing of information systems. I develop applications for both windows as well as web in C# using Microsoft .Net technology. I am skilled in developing database programs in SQL Server and working on my certification for Business Intelligence Developer (MCITP).
So that covers the professional side… On the personal side… I embrace open source. I so much appreciate the hard work talented and enthusiastic developers put into creating tools and programs that often can compete with commercially available software. I try-out lots of software to see if it meets my requirements and how it can be used in my personal projects. That includes the use of MySQL as well as experimenting with other programming languages. And I am a fanatic Inkscape user. I am still considering to participate in its development, but for now I limit myself to writing Inkscape beginner tutorials.
What projects?
I am not really sure if I should call my efforts projects.. but it seems a good denominator to group them with, the alternative would be 'hobbies', but what's in a name? I want this site to reflect the activities that currently hold my interest.
- Implementation of an open source CMS. I have looked into several options, and it was a hard time deciding upon a CMS that will work 'out-of-the-box', requiring minimum customization, or something I can totally mould myself. But as a developer.. hehe.. you probably can guess what I decided… And the second hard choice was to decide upon the programming language to use for modifications. I have decided to give UMBRACO a spin. I have it running locally and am considering its implementation on one of my domains. If you NEVER heard about it.. check out the website.. it is made by developers.. for developers.. and it is way cool. I also run a Joomla based website and I really like to do more development for that. And of course this one – good ol' WordPress. It has a lot – it is just not a full CMS (yet).
- 3D graphic design. I have been toying with 3D applications for many years, but so far it has been toying. Time to put some effort into that and while I refresh my basic skills I hope to provide some nice how-to's on this site. Think about Blender and DAZ Studio, tho I use some commercial programs too.
- 2D graphic design. Many years experimenting with 2D graphics applications (vectors, natural painting and photo manipulation) have taught me many skills. I use 2D graphics to brighten up websites, create textures for my 3D objects, clean or enhance photographs, and whatever else. I have learned many tricks as many tips and tutorials are widely available on the world-wide-web. So I am planning to share my resources as well as full project tutorials I created myself on this site. If I link to tutorials on the web it will be because I think they are exceptional, not to fill my page. My toolkit includes several commercial packages, but also freely available programs like Paint.Net, XnView, InkScape, Gimp, MapZone, Project Dogwaffle (version 1.2 is freeware!), ArtRage (the starter edition is free!). Did I mention Inkscape? It is currently my absolute favorite.
- CSS Template design. As a web developer in a major IT company, it is not needed to have any skills in website design as 'that is what the graphic design and usability group does'. Fortunately I have had some degrees of freedom, and as graphics design has my interest .. template design for me is just an extension of other skills. I will make template designs available as open source through this site. And before you ask.. why didn't I create the current design.. well.. for now my time seems to be limited.. but it will come.. just be sure of that.
- Photography. I love to go out there (the big wide world) with my Nikon D50 and find interesting places, situations, people to freeze frame forever. I do not claim to be a particular good photographer, but I am an enthusiastic one. My dad taught me to use a camera when I was about 10 years old and I learned how to do old fashioned photo laboratory work by the age of 12. Of course nowadays I use digital techniques to modify and enhance my pictures, and those I consider good enough for display will be shared with you.
- Coding, coding, coding… not sure where that will lead to either.. but interesting snippets and applications will be shared.
So why should you check back?
There are thousands of websites that provide similar information, so I feel already fortunate that you decided to visit my site – and apparently are still reading it *smiles* For the time being there may not be too much content yet.. but please check back now and then as I promise to add new things frequently.

The Fresh Egg blog
Latest digital marketing news
On Thursday 24 April 2014, 15 of the Fresh Egg team headed to the Brighton Dome for the latest instalment of the twice yearly SEO and digital marketing conference BrightonSEO.
As one of the exhibitors, Fresh Egg had its own stand – and an unusual challenge: would-be TV chefs were invited to cook an omelette against the clock. To find out the name of the winner, and just a few of the things we learned at this year's event, read our post below.
With such a varied agenda split across three rooms, it's difficult to pick one key theme for the day. However, as ever, there was a focus on carrying out the digital marketing work we do with the user and audience in mind, rather than search engines alone. It's nothing new – and something we've all known for a while now – but it can never hurt to hammer a good point home.
So, what else did the Fresh Egg team take away with them? Here are just a few key pointers:
Our very own Dr David was invited to present his talk on Google as predator and the evolution of search to the Corn Exchange audience. David talked about how Google started as a small fish in a big pond, and is now a bigger fish in a global pond. As Google displays characteristics of a predator, David gave us some key strategies for survival in search, including rapid adaptation and thriving on new opportunities.
You can view David's slides here.
We're pleased to say it seems David's talk was a success, with plenty of friendly tweets flying round the Twitter-sphere:
Really impressed by Dr. David Sewell's (@seoeditors) presentation at #brightonseo yesterday - #Google as predator http://t.co/0SD2j5JIoA
— Robin Coleman (@gingerdj) April 25, 2014
Man, wish I could've seen this talk: MT @freshegg "@seoeditors talk about Google as a predator at #brightonseo: http://t.co/ytwrlmMxNI"

Google's diet is getting more diversified (Google as a predator #brightonseo ) pic.twitter.com/m7qXhagz2k

@seoeditors Great talk yesterday, doc... there was no rude word, was there ;)
— Nathan (@nathanjenkins11) April 25, 2014
#brightonseo Great presentation from @seoeditors from @FreshEgg pic.twitter.com/iINpdOriHI
— Steve Hutton (@hybridoriental) April 24, 2014
If you popped by our stand, you would have seen the lovely Laura Ward overseeing proceedings – and the Omelette making competition, a la Saturday Kitchen.
We had plenty of entrants and the Corn Exchange soon filled with the smell of cooking eggs. After lots of frantic whisking, careful flipping and the odd spillage or two, the lovely Laura (@LauraOfBrighton) and Abby (@Brightonchamber) of Brighton Chamber of Commerce emerged as the quickest omelette makers, with our own director of search strategy Duncan Heath and PPC manager Sheila Puertollano coming in a close joint-third.
Check out the Vine below of Sheila and me battling it out in the egg-based bonanza:
Big thanks as ever go out to Kelvin and the SiteVisibility and Rough Agenda teams – see you all in September!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/6/2014 (1098 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Although there are a few more mosquitoes buzzing around this week compared to last, the overall risk is low, the city says, and there are no plans to fog this week.
An average of 125 mosquitoes were caught in city traps on Sunday, with 146 caught on Monday. That's up from 60 and 135 the week before.
But when things like weather and mosquito lifecycles are taken into account, the city's Adulticiding Factor Analysis numebr actually fell a notch, from 12 to 11, remainining in the medium range.
City guidelines call for fogging with malathopn to kill adult mosquitoes only when the AFA number reaches 15 or higher on the 18-point scale for two counts in a row, or if the average number of mosquitoes caught in city traps is 1,000 or higher. A single trap with more than 2,000 mosquitoes would also trigger fogging.
The city would also fog if ordered to by the provincial government, for example to combat West Nile virus.
City staff do say they are monitoring new puddles left in the wake of last week's storm, and they are applying larvicide where possible to kill the mosquitoes before they take to the air.

Sony spokesperson Shigenori Yoshida says his company is "uncertain" when it will be able to restore PSN and Qriocity services.
Indeed, the downtime may be even worse than expected. Sony isn't planning to have all its online services back up and new security system in place until May 31.
It's a far cry from Sony's earlier claim that it would have some services back online by the first week of May.
Overall, it looks like this hacker debacle will last over a month (PSN was yanked down April 20), and cause serious harm to Sony's brand image as it struggles to convince consumers they can trust the company with their personal information again.

Men's Hoops Travels To Portland State
Related Links
Southern Utah's men's basketball team plays the third game of its current four-game road stretch Thursday night when the Thunderbirds take on Portland State in Portland, Ore.
The Thunderbirds (10-13/8-6 Big Sky) saw their longest winning streak in 11 years, five in a row, snapped at Weber State on Saturday night, 75-58. SUU had reeled off four straight home wins, over PSU (76-63), Eastern Washington (69-55), Sacramento State (79-67) and Northern Arizona (78-67), as well as an 81-79 overtime win at Idaho State before the loss to the Wildcats.
Even with the loss SUU remains in third place in the Big Sky, one game ahead of Montana State, North Dakota and Sacramento State.
Portland State (5-16/3-11 Big Sky) has been on an eight-game slide since sweeping Sac State and Northern Arizona early in January. The Vikings were 3-2 in The Sky heading into a Jan. 17 game at Northern Colorado, the first game in a four-game road swing, but the Bears handled them 67-50 to begin the slide. It has been a brutal stretch, however, as just two of the eight losses came at home, to league-leading Montana (81-68) and Montana State (70-64). Last week PSU traveled to NAU and Sac State, where they lost 79-72 and 77-71. Also included in the streak was a 76-63 setback at SUU on Jan. 24.
The Game: Southern Utah (10-13/8-6) at Portland State (5-16/3-11), 7:35 p.m. in the Stott Center (1,500) Portland, Ore.
The Series: Although the two teams were both members of the Western Football Conference in the late 1980s and early 1990s and met on the gridiron on a yearly basis, this will be just the third meeting between the two schools in men's basketball, the second at the NCAA Division I level. Each team has come away with one win. The first meeting between SUU and PSU on the hardwood came early in the 1969-70 season when the Vikings took a 107-93 win over the then-NAIA Thunderbirds in Portland. SUU evened the series earlier this season with a 76-63 win in Cedar City.
TV: There will be no live television coverage of Thursday's game.
Radio: All of Southern Utah men's basketball games are broadcast live by KSUU (91.1 FM). Art Challis is in his 40th season as the Thunderbirds' basketball play-by-play voice. Dr. Challis - chair of SUU's Department of Communication - is joined on home and selected road broadcasts by former SUU standout and current SUU VP for University Relations Dean O'Driscoll.
On The Internet: Video web-streaming coverage of all of Southern Utah's home games and Big Sky road games is available on Big Sky TV, at www.bigskytv.org. Audio of all SUU games is available by logging on to the Thunderbird website at www.suutbirds.com or at www.power91radio.com.
Live Stats: Live stats of Southern Utah's home games are available on the SUU website at www.suutbirds.com. Real-time live stats of SUU's home games are available to working media, contact the athletic media relations office for access information.
Video Highlights: Video highlights of the Thunderbirds' home games is available to accredited media outlets via SUU's FTP site. For information on obtaining those highlights contact SUU Director of Athletic Media Relations Neil Gardner.
Practice Schedule: The practice schedule calls for the Thunderbirds to work out daily at 3:15 p.m. in the Centrum Arena.
Media Availability: Players and coaches will be available Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. unless travel schedules dictate otherwise. On weeks when the team is traveling on Tuesday the interviews will be held on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
Thunderbirds To Host Northridge In BracketBuster: SUU will host Cal State Northridge in the BracketBuster tournament at 7:35 p.m. on Feb. 23. The Matadors and Thunderbirds competed against each other in the American West Conference (along with current Big Sky member Sacramento State) during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons.
Coming Up: The Thunderbirds travel to Eastern Washington where they wrap up the four-game road swing on Saturday night. Next week SUU hosts Cal State Northridge in the Ramada BracketBuster game, Feb. 23.
Thunderbird Club Luncheons: The Thunderbird Club's weekly no-host luncheon is held Mondays at noon at the Cedar City Crystal Inn. The public is invited to attend the luncheons where Southern Utah's in-season coaches talk about their upcoming contests and review the past week's action.
Captains: This year's captains are seniors Jackson Stevenett and Tyson Koehler.
Heuir Named BSC Player of the Week: SUU's Damon Heuir earned his second Big Sky Conference Player of the Week award on Monday following his play in the Thunderbirds' wins over Sacramento State and Northern Arizona last week. Heuir averaged 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in the two wins. He scored 28 points with seven rebounds, seven assists and a steal in the team's 79-67 win over Sacramento State, then scored 27 points with four rebounds, an assist and a steal two nights later against the Lumberjacks. Heuir's first BSC Player of the Week award came after he scored 30 points to lead SUU to its first road win of the season, a 90-77 victory at Northern Arizona on Jan. 5. That week he shared the honors with Weber State's Scott Bamforth.
The Coaches:
Head Coach Nick Robinson (Stanford, 2005) is 8-13 in his first season at SUU and his first season as a head coach. Coach Robinson came to Southern Utah from LSU, where he spent three seasons on the staff. Prior to his time at LSU Robinson spent a season at William Jewell College and two seasons on the staff at his alma mater, Stanford. During his time as an assistant coach, Robinson helped guide his teams to a combined record of 87-47 and four post-season appearances, including two NCAA, one NIT and one NAIA Division I national tournaments. Robinson is 1-0 vs. PSU.
Robinson is assisted by Jared Barrett (Eastern Oregon, 1996), Todd Okeson (Nevada, 2005) and Drew Allen (Southern Utah, 2010).
Portland State is coached by Tyler Geving (Central Washington, 1996), who is 49-66 in his fourth season at the helm of the Viking program. Coach Geving is 0-1 vs. SUU.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is in its first season as a member of the Big Sky Conference. All of SUU's sports except gymnastics and men's golf compete in the Big Sky. Gymnastics is an affiliate member of the WAC while men's golf competes in the American Sky Conference. Portland State is also a member of the Big Sky.
The Schedule: The Thunderbirds have played nine non-conference games, three at home, four true road contests, and two neutral court match-ups. They have played four conference games at home and two on the road. SUU opened at #21 Gonzaga, then played three games in three days at the World Vision Classic, meeting Green Bay, Cal State Fullerton and host Nevada before opening its home schedule against Carroll College. SUU also played non-conference games at TCU, at Denver, and at home against San Diego Christian and San Diego. SUU has just one non-conference game remaining, next week's BracketBuster match-up against CS Northridge.
Last Time Out: Jackson Stevenett scored 24 points and Damon Heuir added 18 but Southern Utah had its worst shooting night of the year Saturday night as Weber State topped SUU 75-58 to put an end to SUU's five-game winning streak, the team's longest in 11 years. SUU hit just 16-of-55 shots or 29.1 percent. The team's lowest percentage prior to Saturday night was .321 at home vs. Idaho State on Jan. 12. After taking an eight point lead into halftime Weber put the game out of range with a 12-2 run that gave the Wildcats a 58-38 advantage. SUU finally got back on the scoreboard when Cal Hanks hit one of two free throws to make it a 58-39 game with 8:44 to play. SUU could get no closer than 17 the rest of the way, however. Weber State out-rebounded the Thunderbirds, 39-33, marking just the sixth time this season SUU has lost the battle of the boards. Jayson Cheesman blocked five shots, tying the sixth-highest single-game total in SUU history (which he already tied once this season) and giving him 53 for the season, tying him with Sean Allen (1993-94) for third-place on SUU's single-season blocks list. Stevenett moved into eighth place on SUU's career scoring list with 1,118 points, passing Gary Crosby, who had 1,101 points from 1973 to 1975 and he tied Marc Wilson (1977-79) in 11th place on SUU's career rebounding list with 452. SUU had 10 turnovers to 15 for WSU; it was just the second time the T-Birds had lost this season when turning it over less than the opponent.
T-Birds In The National Ranks: The Thunderbirds have three players ranked in the top-100 in the NCAA through Thursday's games, and the team ranks among the top 100 in three categories as well. Jackson Stevenett ranks 32nd in free throw percentage (.868) and 84th in scoring (17.0 ppg) while Jayson Cheesman ranks 36th in blocks per game with an average of 2.3 and Damon Heuir is 91st in scoring at 16.9 ppg. As a team the Thunderbirds are 23rd in the country with 5.2 blocks per game, 49th in rebounding margin (plus 5.0) and 51st in free throw percentage (.732).
T-Birds In The Big Sky:
Stevenett and Heuir are 2-3 in scoring in the conference when all games are considered. Stevenett averages 17.0 points per game while Heuir checks in at 16.9 ppg. Stevenett is also second in free throw percentage at .875, sixth in rebounding with 6.09 per game, seventh in offensive rebounds per game (2.0) and 11th in defensive rebounds per game (4.0). Heuir is also fifth in 3-pointers per game (2.1) and ninth in free throw percentage (.791), while Cheesman is second in blocks per game with 2.3 when all games are considered, seventh in rebounding with 6.086 rpg and seventh in defensive rebounds with 4.4 per game. Cal Hanks is seventh in blocks per game with 1.1. The team leads the conference in offensive rebounds (12.1 rpg), and is second in field goal percentage defense (.424), in blocks (5.2 per game), in rebounding margin (plus-5.0) and in defensive rebounds (26.0 drpg).
When only conference games are considered, Stevenett is second and Heuir is fourth in the Big Sky with 19.1 and 18.5 points per game respectively. Heuir is fourth in 3-pointers per game (2.4) and tied for fifth in free throw percentage (.833) while Stevenett is fourth in free throw percentage at .863. Cheesman is sixth and Stevenett is ninth in rebounding with 6.6 and 6.4 caroms per game, respectively, with Stevenett fifth in offensive rebounds (2.3 rpg) and Cheesman seventh in defensive rebounds (4.9). Cheesman is also third in blocks per game (2.1) and Hanks is eighth in blocks (1.1). Stevenett also ranks ninth in field goal percentage (.513). The team leads the league in offensive rebounds (12.7 pg), is second in field goal percentage defense (.394), defensive rebounds (26.0 per game) and rebounding margin (plus-4.3), and is third in scoring average (70.1 ppg), scoring margin (plus-2.4 ppg), blocked shots per game (5.4) and 3-point defense (.322).
Moving Up The Ranks:
Jackson Stevenett is in position to become only the third T-Bird to rank in the career top-10 in both scoring and rebounding. Stevenett has 1,118 points in his three-plus seasons as a Thunderbird. With his 22 points at Idaho State he moved from 11th to ninth on SUU's career scoring list, and his 24 on Saturday bumped him up a notch to eighth. Last week he moved past Russell Otis (1,077 from 1984-86), Ted Thomas (1087, 1986-89) and Gary Crosby (1,101, 1969-70 and 1973-75). He also has 452 career rebounds, which is tied for 11th all time at SUU. Last week he passed Robin Haight (450, 1972-1976), to move into a tie with Marc Wilson (1977-79) with 452. He needs 11 boards to move into the SUU career top-10, where Davor Marcelic (1988-92) is 10th with 463. Richard Barton is second on SUU's career scoring list with 1,419 points and is fourth on its rebounding list with 557 while Robert "Dunn" Lee is second in rebounding with 652 boards and fifth in scoring with 652 points. Barton played in 1986-87 then returned to the team after an LDS church mission to lay the 1990-93 seasons while Lee played from 1974 to 1977.
Jayson Cheesman has 53 rejections this season, which is tied for third on SUU's single-season list and is seventh on the career list. He is tied with Sean Allen (1993-94) on the single-season list. He needs seven to tie Allen's 60 in 1994-95 for second place and 11 to tie Matt Hodgson (2009-10) atop the single-season list. Next up on the career chart is Donnie Jackson, who rejected 55 shots from 2001 to 2003.
Cleaning The Glass:
- The Thunderbirds have won the battle of the boards 17 times this season but two of the times they were out-rebounded were against Weber State. SUU was out-rebounded in their first three games then won the battle of the boards in nine straight contests before Sacramento State had a 41-38 edge in the first meeting between the two teams and Weber State held a 46-41 advantage in the first meeting. SUU out-rebounded each subsequent opponent, a stretch of eight games, before Weber State pulled in 39 caroms to 33 for the 'Birds.
- SUU has reeled in 40 or more caroms 11 times this season. Last year's team had a total of four 40-rebound games.
- SUU pulled down a season-high 51 rebounds vs. San Diego Christian. The team's high mark vs. a Division I foe was 45, against Northern Colorado.
Block Party:
- SUU averages 5.2 blocks per game, which ranks second in the Big Sky. The Thunderbirds have rejected 120 shots this season, including 12 against North Dakota, SUU's highest total since the team combined for 13 rejections against Panhandle State on Dec. 14, 2010 and the highest total in the Big Sky so far this season. The Thunderbirds were in double-digits against San Diego as well, when they blocked 10 shots.
- Jayson Cheesman has had two five-block and one four-block games this season, with both five-block efforts coming on the road. Cheesman didn't take much time to break into the SUU record books. In his first game as a Thunderbird, at Gonzaga, he blocked five shots, which tied the sixth-highest single-game blocks total in SUU history. He swatted five more at Weber State last week. The four-block effort came at home against San Diego Christian.
- Cal Hanks tied Cheesman in sixth place on that single-game list when he came off the bench to block five shots against North Dakota. Hanks has 25 blocks so far and needs eight to move into SUU's single-season top-10.
- With Cheesman's five blocks at Weber State SUU has five or more blocks in a game 15 times this season.
- SUU had four blocks against Eastern Washington, three by Cheesman, but the Eagles had seven, with three players swatting a pair of shots. It was just the second time this season - Green Bay was the other - that the Thunderbirds had more shots blocked than they blocked themselves.
T-Bird Notes:
- The good news is the Thunderbirds had a season-low 10 turnovers at Weber State, unfortunately they also shot a season-low 29.1 percent. Jackson Stevenett hit 5-of-12 shots, 42 percent, no other T-Bird was better than .333. The team also had just six assists vs. the Wildcats, its second-fewest in 2012-13.
- Wade Collie played seven minutes at Weber State after missing the Idaho State game and playing just two minutes at home against Northern Arizona. Collie has been sidelined by a thigh injury suffered in practice the day before the NAU game.
- Damon Heuir tied his career-high with eight assists at Idaho State, then went without a dime at Weber State. The WSU game was just his third without an assist this year.
- SUU's 81-79 win at Idaho State was the team's first overtime game this season and thus Coach Nick Robinson's first win in overtime. Both of the Thunderbird/Bengal games went down to the wire, with ISU winning 54-53 in Cedar City before SUU took the win in Pocatello.
- A.J. Hess scored a career-best 12 points at ISU, including a big 3-pointer down the stretch in regulation and two free throws with four seconds to play in overtime to clinch the win.
- Chris Nsenki tied his career-high with 10 points at ISU, including a perfect 3-for-3 night from 3-point range.
- Northern Arizona is probably happy to see the last of Heuir. The senior guard scored 30 points in the first match-up between SUU and NAU - the highest total in the Big Sky until NAU's Gabe Rogers poured in 35 vs. North Dakota on Jan. 26 - and he poured in another 27 last Saturday. In his two games against the Lumberjacks, Heuir hit 15-of-30 shots, 7-of-12 3-pointers and hit 20-of-24 free throws. He also averaged four rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals and blocked a shot against NAU.
- Heuir has scored in double figures in 12 straight games, with 14 or more points in each game and four 20-point-plus efforts. Jackson Stevenett has posted double-figures in 17 straight, including seven during the streak of 20 or more. Until Wade Collie came off the bench to score a team-high 18 against Eastern Washington either Heuir or Stevenett had led the team in every game this year. Heuir and Stevenett have each led the team in scoring 11 times this season.
- Stevenett notched his third double-double of the season vs. NAU with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
- Jordan Johnson dished out a career-best seven assists vs. NAU. It was the third time in the last six games he has posted a new career-high in dimes.
- The Thunderbirds hit 15-of-25 shots in the second half against Portland State and 18-of-30 after the break against Sacramento State. Both worked out to be 60.0 percent nights, the team's second-best second halves of the season (behind .630 vs. San Diego Christian) and their third-best halves overall (.625 in the first half at Northern Arizona) this season.
- Stevenett hit the 1,000 career points mark with 19 at Montana, which give him exactly 1,000. He is just the 11th player in SUU history to break the 1,000 point mark and just the third to cross that threshold since Richard Barton finished his career with 1,419 points in 1993 (third on SUU's all-time list). Jeff Monaco finished his career in 2001 with 1,568 points (second) while Davis Baker finished his in 2010 with 1,205 (sixth).
- Julian Scott, who missed five games with a foot injury, then played in the NAU, Sac State, Weber State and Idaho State games, was lost for the season with a knee injury suffered in practice January 18.
- The Thunderbirds had just four players foul out of the nine non-conference games (including two at TCU) then had 13 disqualifications in the first eight Big Sky contests, including two at both Northern Arizona and Sac State and three against Weber State and at Montana. The 'Birds went without a disqualification for three games before Jordan Johnson was disqualified at ISU. Cal Hanks then fouled out at Weber State to give the team disqualifications in the last two games.
- SUU was the first team to win its first three Big Sky Conference games in its first season of play since Boise State started out 4-0 back in 1970-71.
- Stevenett has scored a career-high 29 points twice this season, at Gonzaga and again in the first game vs. Weber State. Stevenett's 11 field goals made against the Zags is tied as the second-highest total in the conference this season.
Scouting Portland State: The Vikings are 5-4 at home this season, including a 3-3 mark in Big Sky games. The conference wins include a 63-49 triumph over Idaho State, an 87-69 victory against Sacramento State and a 79-74 verdict against Northern Arizona. The home losses include a 73-69 setback in overtime against Weber State, an 81-68 loss to Montana and a 70-64 defeat at the hands of Montana State. Four Vikings carry double-figure scoring averages, led by Aaron Moore's 12.8 ppg. Moore also leads the team with 7.0 rebounds per game. In addition to Moore, the double-figure scorers include Renado Parker at 11.4 ppg, Lateef McMullan at 10.4 and Michael Harthun at 10.0 ppg. McMullan also averages a team-high 3.8 assists per game. As a team Portland State averages 67.6 points per game on 45.3 percent shooting (.373 threes) while allowing an average of 72.3 points on .493 shooting (.392 threes). The Vikings have converted 74.2 percent of their free throws and they have been out-rebounded by an average of 31.3-to-30.6 caroms per game.

"Oncie, my darling boy, this is incredible! You've made your mama proud."
"Thanks, Mom."
"Although personally I thought that the celebration today was a little underwhelming, didn't you? I mean, all they could spare for a performance was the city marching band? Someone as important as you should at least get someone famous to perform for him!"
"I didn't think it was that bad…"
"No, of course you wouldn't. After all, just a little while ago you were the one who was standing up in the center of town and trying to promote Thneeds by playing your silly guitar! But you've got to get used to being classier now. At this rate, you're sure to be the top dog soon, and you need tastes to match."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"You're on your way, sweetie. Just remember, things can only get better from here!"
The Once-ler wasn't so sure.
He was looking out the window, which was much easier than looking at the desk he was seated at, where his gangly arms were folded haphazardly among the rapidly accumulating stacks of paperwork and order forms. And it was much, much easier than looking at his mother, who he could already picture clearly in his mind's eye. Right now she'd have that disgustingly contemptuous expression on her face, smug, self-assured. She was always like that. She was could never, ever let herself be wrong – so when things took a different direction from what she'd expected, she had of course known what would really happen the whole time, and anytime someone failed she'd be the first person to peer over the tip of her nose and sneer down at them, and anytime an unlikely underdog rose to success it would turn out that her criticisms had just been encouragement in disguise, cleverly engineered bits of reverse psychology.
Or maybe he was the only one she'd ever done that to. It wouldn't be surprising.
He gingerly lifted the top hat from his head and tugged off his elbow-length gloves, one finger at a time. Neither article of clothing really felt like they were his. They were bright green and flashy and satiny, the sort of things reserved for millionaires and celebrities. Of course, after today he was both a millionaire and a celebrity, but it was still a bit disconcerting to swap his normal understated garments for something that made him look like a walking dollar bill.
The celebration that day, which had lasted from midmorning to well past sunset, had been entirely devoted to him and his Thneeds. This was a mere three months after his current customers had been literally lining up to throw produce at him whenever he tried to advertise. At first, the Once-ler had thought that it might be a refreshing break from his normal routine. His business was bogging him down more and more now, mostly with the grueling technicalities of management and paperwork, and partying for an entire day had sounded just right to him. But for some reason, it hadn't been. The jovial music had blared, the crowds had cheered for him even before he made the little speech he'd been scheduled to give, and every vendor's cart had sold out its entire supply of Thneeds and had received enough back orders to keep the company in business for another ten years. But something had kept him from joining in on the enthusiasm. Maybe it was the creepy-crawly feeling he got from seeing twisted depictions of his own face plastered over every surface. Maybe it was because he knew that his family would be preening themselves like peacocks and drinking in the praise that they hadn't warranted at all. Or maybe…
"So, when are you putting up the new factory?" asked his mother.
The Once-ler started. "Huh? What new factory? I don't have plans for any – "
"Then you need to make plans! After today, everyone in the world is going to want a Thneed – no – need a Thneed! And the only way you can possibly keep up with all that demand is to build another factory."
"What's wrong with the one we already have?"
"Oncie, why would you even ask such a stupid question! Obviously, it's too small."
"But it's not even a month old yet! Besides, we've been seeing some problems with, like, the smog and stuff, and we're still trying to fix it! We can't build a new factory until we – "
"Forget about the smog!" She put her hands on her hips, where her fingers pattered out dangerous little rhythms. "This is big business we're talking about here! Your money and success is on the line, you know!"
At last, the Once-ler felt that he had no other choice than to turn around and glare at her. "Mom, who's the boss around here, you or me?"
His mother's eyes widened slightly; then her lips curled into a saccharine, condescending smile, exaggerated by the layers of smeared makeup she had applied for the celebration, and she strode forward to wrap her arms around him from behind. "Oncie," she trilled, "darling, you know I'd never, ever want to tell you what to do now that you're all grown up. But…"
He stiffened, all too familiar with that tone of voice. It was the "fake nice" voice, the one that allowed her to mock him without ever having to say a single unkind word. Her embrace was as smothering and troublesome as the toxic smog that had recently begun rising from the smokestacks of his factory, and the manicured hands that were supposed to be gripping his shoulders seemed too close to his neck for comfort.
"But you don't get it," she continued. "You've always been a little boy with little dreams, and now your dream is getting so much bigger!" She pinched his cheek between manicured thumb and forefinger, and it took an effort for him not to recoil from her. "It's time to start thinking less about yourself and more about other people. Like your customers! Instead of thinking about what you want, think about what they want? And what about your poor old family? What about me? Do you really want to go back to being the failure you used to be, Oncie?"
The Once-ler swallowed, his throat pulsing beneath her fingers. He didn't want to listen to her, but now he couldn't help but think about all those years he'd spent as a hopeless entrepreneur, stumbling around and acting like a fool in the hopes that one day he could make something of himself. Back then, "making something of himself" had meant becoming a modest success, making a comfortable living and improving people's lives with his inventions. Never in a million years had he anticipated all of this fame, idolization, hard work, and stress. But at least that was better than being unknown…wasn't it?
"No," he said quietly. "I don't want that."
"That's my boy." Her nails gave his shoulders a sharp squeeze, before she mercifully stepped back.
He cleared his throat as the first few plans for the new factory flitted around in his head like semi-formed butterflies. For now, though, he didn't think that he could stand to look at another form or blueprint or market trajectory chart. "I think I'll be going to bed now, Mom, if you don't mind. I'm pretty tired out. Big day, you know."
"Oh, sure. I'll let you get some sleep. Remember, dear, I'm so proud of you!"
No, you're not.
He undressed quickly, eager to be rid of his suffocating dress clothes. At least his pajamas were the same. They were worn out and didn't look like anything that the owner of a mega-successful corporation should be wearing, but at least they were comfortable, and he could say without a doubt that they were his and his alone. It was the same for the room around him. He hadn't yet moved into more luxuriant living spaces, and his mother had started complaining about how plain and threadbare his old portable house was, but to him it felt like home. He flopped down on his bed and blew a strand of dark hair away from his eyes.
Same old pajamas. Same old room. Same old bed. It was only his life that wasn't the same anymore.
Was there any logical reason for him to be feeling this way? After all, the Once-ler had been dreaming of this day for a long, long time. Sure, he hadn't thought that it would actually happen, but who didn't dream of being raised up on a pedestal and hailed as a genius? And, okay, maybe things weren't perfect…maybe his mother wasn't suddenly supporting and loving, like she had been in his old fantasies, but she wasn't sneering at him about how worthless he was, either. And maybe there was a little smog in the air and a few more tree stumps in the forest, but those things didn't affect him, and they didn't really matter right now anyway. He was rich, and renown, and everybody loved him. He'd proved his family wrong and achieved his lifelong goal. He had everything that he'd ever wanted.
So why was he almost wishing that things would go back to the way they had been before?
"Have fun today, kid?" a voice asked coldly.
The Once-ler immediately shot up from where he was laying, his eyes darting over to the kitchen area. Sure enough, a squat round creature with pale orange fur was seated between the haphazard stacks of unwashed dishes. The Once-ler frowned; now, he knew that this visitor hadn't been there just a moment earlier.
"What are you doing in my room?" he snapped, in no mood for polite small talk.
The Lorax, in typical Lorax fashion, ignored his question. "Guess you had a big day, huh?" he went on coolly. "Partying, making speeches to all your adoring fans…making promises you don't intend to keep, maybe?"
"Can we talk about this another time?" sighed the Once-ler in exasperation, sprawling back down on the mattress, resisting the urge to pull a pillow over his head.
"Why? So you can have one of your million secretaries blow me off again?"
"Seriously, I don't want to talk right now…"
"Aww, what's the matter? Did you get yourself all tired out from making money and filling the air with smog?"
Suddenly, the Lorax was forced to drop himself to the floor in alarm when a pillow went sailing towards him. The Once-ler's teeth were gritted as he clutched the edge of his footboard, his long legs causing his knees to jut out like a frog's, his tousled hair sticking up in an unruly mess like a bunch of floppy spikes.
"Look, just shut up, okay!" he shouted. "While you sit on your furry butt all day, I have to get up at the crack of dawn every morning and work until, like, midnight! And I am working, not just counting my piles of money the way you seem to think I do! And so what if today was a celebration? It wasn't that much better! If you think I'm so bad, then why do you keep coming back here, huh?! I'm not forcing you to know me!"
The Lorax softened. "I keep coming because I know you're better than this, beanpole. I know you've been waiting for this success, but that doesn't mean that you have to destroy everything in your way!"
"I can't go around everything, either! I have to go faster."
"Faster? Says who?"
"Says everyone."
"Well, who says you have to listen to everyone?"
The Once-ler's fists clenched tighter around the footboard. "Do you have a family?"
The Lorax remained silent.
"If you had a family," the Once-ler continued, "and if your family had made fun of you at every single chance they got – stomped on your dreams any time they could – then you'd know why I have to do this. Because for my whole life, I wondered if maybe they were right. And now I know…they're not. They were wrong. I was right! And there's no way I can let this slip away from me! I'm not going to go back to being that idiot with the guitar getting hit by tomatoes!"
The Lorax blinked at him slowly.
"Well…" responded the old creature carefully, "…at least 'that idiot with the guitar' that I used to know was happy. But you don't seem to be happy anymore."
"Uh, no, of course I'm not happy. I was trying to sleep and then you just waltzed right in here."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
The Once-ler spread his arms in defeat. "Look, I'm happy! Okay? This is what I've always wanted! And I'm already trying to make sure that things don't get out of hand, so you don't need to lecture me! I'm working on a way to get rid of the smog, and there's still plenty of trees…"
The Lorax exhaled harshly, his moustache bristling. "You're not happy, beanpole. But soon you're gonna be convincing yourself that you are. And when you do, there's going to be consequences, for you and for everyone else. Things you can't even begin to imagine."
"Right now, all I want to imagine is me going to sleep. So, thanks for coming, but there's the door!" The Once-ler thrust a finger towards said door pointedly. "Don't let it hit you on the way out!"
The Lorax shuffled out quietly, sneaking a few glances back at the Once-ler, who snapped off the light and hauled the comforter over his head as a means of preventing further conversation. Even with the blanket flattened against his ear, he could still her the scuffling sounds as his unwelcome visitor jumped for the doorknob, and then the telltale click-slam informing him that he was alone in the room once again. He grunted softly, rolling over. Everything would look better in the morning, he knew. He always turned irritable when he got overtired. By the time he woke up for work tomorrow, this would all be a distant, fuzzy memory that he would never have to have the displeasure of reliving again.
Outside the Once-ler's house, the Lorax gazed up at the stars drifting between banks of unnatural gray-green clouds with a sigh. No one else was out and about in the truffula valley that night, but if someone had been out there, they would have heard him mutter as he trudged away:
"So say I'm old fashioned and live in the past,
But sometimes I think progress progresses too fast…"

Careful critique of ourselves as a community is a necessary step that helps us to direct the best course of action for positive changes. In the process of implementing the recommendations of the DCC report it is inevitable that we will come across roadblocks, pitfalls, and missed opportunities. The MCCL committee and others in the community strive to make note of, learn from, and respond to such instances. Some examples are below; we will assuredly continue to identify new areas of challenge, set backs and necessary points of growth in our community as we continue to address the DCC report.
Point-of-Entry Training
(Spring 2007) Employment point-of-entry at Mount Holyoke provides a significant opportunity for learning what it is to enter a community that not only tolerates and celebrates, but values diversity, thus the DCC recommended that diversity and inclusiveness learning opportunities for faculty and staff be routinely offered to newcomers - to date little progress has been made in this arena.
Enrollment of African American Students
(Sept. 2007) While the first few years of this century had our college boasting a rise in the numbers of first year African American applicants and accepted students, 2006~2007 saw a slight decline in the trend.
Tracking Improvements Needed in Hiring of Staff of Color
(April 2007) According to assessments made by the Five College Recruitment and Outreach Coordinator, the Five Colleges lack comprehensive ways to track qualitative success of the outreach program, and a meaningful evaluation on our campus is difficult for an employee shared by five colleges. The Five Colleges presently track how many Latinos, African-Americans/Black and Asians apply for positions, how many are interviewed, how many are hired and when, as well as when and why these employees leave. However, we lack the practices and data to meaningfully compare these numbers against the hiring and retention trends of white staff members. These methods are too reliant upon numbers and fail to provide qualitative analysis of trends in retention: the focus is on numbers of hires rather than an analysis of the hiring process and hiring outcomes. Additional examination of applicant pools, and the qualitative experiences of hiring and retention of people of color, need to be addressed internally by each institution.
Native American Student Enrollment
(Spring 2007) The small number of enrolled Native American students each year remains a concern and identified area in need of improvement.

Istanbul, (Today's Zaman): Twenty-four illegal migrants lost their lives on Wednesday when a boat carrying them sank in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Ezine, a district in the northwestern province of Çanakkale.
Initial reports said the migrants were traveling to the island of Lesbos in Greece through Turkey when their boat sank. Twelve others who were also on the boat during the accident were rescued alive, according to reports. The cause of the boat's sinking remains unknown. The boat reportedly sank in international waters.
Çanakkale coast guard teams were reportedly also deployed to the area to assist a plane and rescue helicopters with the rescue efforts, which are still ongoing. No further details of the incident have been revealed.
In a separate incident which took place last week, a boat carrying 15 illegal migrants sank in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Muğla province. The accident reportedly occurred at 4 a.m. between the Hüseyin Point Lighthouse of the village of Akyarlar, near Bodrum, and the Greek island of Kos.
Seven bodies have been found since the boat reportedly sank last Thursday. The coast guard said the dead included a woman, two men and two children of unknown age. They were identified as Syrian by the ID cards on them when they were found.
Turkey is both a transit and source country for human smuggling. European countries are the favored destinations for people seeking employment opportunities, due to greater rights given to immigrants and the lack of heavy penalties for illegal entry into Europe.
As a country lying on the route to European countries, Turkey has become a center of human smuggling, particularly since the 1990s. Since the costs of arranging illegal passage to European countries via Turkey are lower than other routes, human smugglers see Turkey as an ideal country. The routes that take illegal migrants from the Middle East and Asia to Europe via the northern Black Sea or the Mediterranean are much more expensive and risky.
According to data from the General Staff, 16,912 people who were trying to enter or exit Turkey illegally were captured by authorities over the past eight months.
The would-be destination of most of the illegal migrants is Europe. Figures suggest an increase in the number of Syrian illegal migrants over the past months as the country has been suffering from political turmoil over the past 18 months.
Turkey began to welcome refugees fleeing the violence in Syria shortly after the Bashar al-Assad government started its bloody campaign against opposition forces roughly 18 months ago.
The General Staff's data show that most of the illegal migrants in Turkey come from Syria, Myanmar, Morocco, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine and Somalia. There are also illegal migrants from Mali, Algeria, Nigeria, Eritrea, Angola, Burma, Georgia and China.

Your bulbs are planted and the garden has been put to bed. What next? With the imminent arrival of winter, it is time to search for holiday gifts for all the gardeners on your list.
Another pair of gardening gloves? So ho-hum. Instead, why not give a gift of garden design to inspire your favourite gardeners to new botanical heights? (Or drop hints for your own list.)
Books on garden design are the perfect answer to get any gardener through a long winter. The following classic design books are not new, but they are essential tools to get the creative juices flowing. As beautifully illustrated as coffee table art books, they will provide inspiration for many seasons to come.
- Nori and Sandra Pope's Color By Design: Planting the Contemporary Garden is a luscious exploration of colour and colour combinations. (300 colour photos)
- John Brookes has written several excellent books showing the use of design elements to create beautiful, innovative gardens. Each book contains helpful sketches and diagrams and stunning photos. My favourites are Garden Masterclass and Small Garden.
- Landscapes in Landscapes by Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury features twenty-three of Oudolf's public and private gardens, including the High Line and Battery Park in New York City, as well as Ouldof's own garden in the Netherlands. Lavish photos, sketches and detailed planting plans demonstrate how form, texture and colour spanning the life cycle of plants are the basis of the New Perennial planting movement.
Keeping track of what grows (and what didn't grow) and where it is in your garden is easy with Margaret Bennet- Alder's Gardener's Journal & Sourcebook. This resource directory and weekly journal includes tabbed sections for garden plans and records, photos and a section on "Delights and Disappointments." The information contained is useful for gardeners in the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe. It is available in Garden Shop for just $24.95.
Walking through a well-designed garden is one of the best sources of inspiration for gardeners. Tickets to the TBG's Through the Garden Gate garden tour in June is a gift of an up-close-and-personal look at what's new in garden design, creative plant combinations, and a wonderful day spent in some of the best private gardens in the city. You can purchase tickets by calling Andrew at 416-397-1483.
The idea of designing a garden bed or a whole garden can be overwhelming. The gift of a garden consultation with an experienced designer or landscape architect can help a gardener overcome their hesitation and get started on their dream garden. Just an hour or two of expert advice is money well spent and can be the basis for a well-designed, creative garden.

A Double Standard For News Corp. Justice?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Two weeks after getting fired from Fox News for being a "mole" dishing dirt on Rupert Murdoch's news channel, Joe Muto reported that on Wednesday he received an early morning visit from New York County District Attorney officials who arrived with a warrant and left with his phone, laptop and notebooks. They were responding to News Corp.'s allegations that Muto had committed larceny when he shared his inside-Fox News account, complete with in-house video from the channel's servers, with Gawker in a series of controversial posts.
This week's swift law enforcement response to the relatively minor criminal case stands in stark contrast to when competitors to a News Corp. subsidiary, News America, spent years beseeching law enforcement agencies to fully investigate claims that News America employees had illegally hacked into a competitor's secure website and stolen proprietary information in an effort to steal away clients and "destroy" the company, according to one of its owners.
At the time, federal investigators at the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's office, overseen then by Chris Christie, refused to take the Murdoch-related case seriously and no criminal charges were ever filed. That, despite the fact that years later as part of a civil case, a News Corp. attorney admitted in open court that the company's computers had been used to hack into a competitor's website. (News Corp. insisted it couldn't determine who did the hacking; evidence suggests the company didn't dig very deep to find out.)
In the wake of the "mole" story there's certainly a sharp contrast in terms of how quickly the story about Muto's mid-level mischievousness sparked a criminal investigation, as compared to how the much more serious allegations of corporate corruption within the suites of Murdoch's American empire went mostly untouched for years.
The computer hacking background: A New Jersey start-up company, Floorgraphics (FGI), was created to sell large advertising decals placed on the floors of grocery stores. Early on, FGI's founders, Richard and George Rebh, met with Paul Carlucci who at the time was CEO of News America Marketing, an in-store advertising division of News Corp. At the lunch, after the Rebhs rebuffed Carlucci's offer to buy the company, he allegedly threatened to destroy FGI.
Years later company executives discovered FGI's secure website had been broken into nearly a dozen times and confidential information had been obtained. They alleged Murdoch's company was spreading lies about FGI and using its proprietary information to damage the company. Floorgraphics founders, with help from their Congressmen, then tried to persuade law enforcement to investigate their charges.
As David Carr reported in the New York Times last year, in a column examining the "soft power" Murdoch enjoys in the United States:
According to correspondence that has been forwarded to members of the New Jersey Congressional delegation, Mr. Rebh also got in touch with the F.B.I., which sent two special agents to the Floorgraphics offices in 2004. One of the agents, Susan Secco, followed up with an e-mail in which she commented on the evidence Floorgraphics had compiled.
"I believe I have all I need to conduct interviews, as there is an excellent paper trail," she wrote.
She then got in touch with the United States attorney in New Jersey and, after an initial burst of interest, the case died a slow death.
Six years ago Jonathan Weil, then a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, looked into FGI's allegations. He told company executives he'd cover their case if he could confirm federal investigators were actively working on the charges leveled against News Corp., otherwise their battle wasn't newsworthy enough. (This was before Murdoch purchased the Journal.) But he could never find any evidence investigators cared about the computer hacking case.
Last year Weil wrote, "Maybe federal investigators had dropped the ball. Perhaps there hadn't been enough evidence. Or maybe they didn't want to take on a sister company of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News."
A New Jersey probe was launched on the state level, but investigators never contacted Floorgraphics and no charges were ever filed against News Corp.
The News America allegations sparked so little interest that nobody from law enforcement ever interviewed Robert Emmel about the News Corp. misconduct. He's the plugged-in whistle blower, and former New America executive, who claimed to have witnessed all kinds of illegal, anti-business practices at the company. Emmel served as a key witness in the FGI civil case against News America, as well as two similar cases brought against Murdoch's company. News Corp. eventually settled all three lawsuits at a cost of $655 million. (Only more recently, in the wake of the sweeping phone hacking scandal in Britain, have U.S. officials belatedly looked into the computer hacking allegations as part of a larger News Corp. investigation, and have reached out to Emmel.)
The fact is several years ago, a Murdoch competitor had News Corp. dead-to-rights on corporate espionage allegations in the United States. But no U.S. investigators would pursue the case. By contrast, within days of the story breaking, News Corp. had much more success getting a criminal case initiated against its bothersome "mole."

Fat chance: Denver Fatburger locations turn into Epic Grills
Denver's Fatburgers have turned into Epic Grills.
Montel Williams, Jack Hercher and Chris Dupuis, the franchisees who brought California's Fatburger to Denver and once had plans to build twenty locations of the restaurant in this city, have parted ways with the company -- and every Fatburger in metro Denver has now changed its name to Epic Grill.
Cesar Castillo, manager at the Lone Tree location, says the restaurants are no longer affiliated with Fatburger (they've been removed from the corporate website's directory, too) and that Epic Grill is a new concept -- albeit one similar to that of Fatburger, since it features some of the same menu items.
"We're the same guys, we just changed the name," he says. "We're doing the same stuff but with more: salads, sandwiches and all that stuff."
The idea, he says, is to start with the four current locations of Epic Grill -- in Lone Tree, Highland Ranch and two in Aurora -- and grow from there into a new, bigger, Denver-based chain.

Sounds like my hair. I've always struggled with trying to get my back/underneath to match the top/sides. For me, the key is HOW I apply the product more than the product. I rake my product in all over, using my fingers like a wide-tooth comb, and squeezing my fingers together with the hair in them to pull my hair down. Then, when I'm done with that, I scrunch the top/sides to encourage curl more there.
I'm a 3b, with 3c underneath.

KENWOOD — Being undefeated two weeks into the regular season is nice, but coach Barb Thornton hopes it's only the start of things to come for her Penns Manor Comets this season.
Coming off a year in which they captured the Heritage Conference and District 6 titles, the Comets entered this season with similarly high expectations.
For Thornton, winning matches is as important as improvement on a game-to-game basis, and the Comets' coach was pleased with the growth she saw from her group in a 3-0 sweep of Marion Center in a Heritage Conference girls' volleyball match Thursday night.
Penns Manor never trailed and won by scores of 25-11, 25-12, 25-14 to improve to 6-0 and 5-0 in the conference.
"My kids served a lot stronger tonight than we have so far this season," Thornton said. "We played at Homer-Center (on Wednesday). We won in three, but they were three really tough games. We didn't serve-receive well last night. We didn't serve as strong last night as we did tonight.
"When we serve strong, we have a chance to put the other team on the defensive and that gives us a lot of free balls and balls that are easy that we can handle. That allows us to transition and get a lot of our hitters involved and take a lot of good shots."
The Comets were fluid on offense, creating opportunities for outside hitters Sarah DaBella and Mary Roach all match long. They served well and serve-received better than in recent matches. They played a solid all-around match.
But Thornton knows there's still room for improvement. And that's OK.
"You're building toward the end of the season," she said. "We're about halfway through the season now. I want to see my team get better and get stronger. I don't want them to plateau right now and say, 'OK, well we've gone 6-0 and that's our goal.' No, our goal is to be playing our best ball and be one of the top teams in the district at the end."
Penns Manor raced to a 9-0 lead on its way to winning the opening game, 25-11, and never looked back against the young Stingers.
DaBella delivered half of her game-high 18 kills in the second game for the Comets.
Taylor Rainey added eight kills, while DaBella, Mary Roach and Heather Aikens had eight digs apiece on defense.
DaBella echoed her coach's sentiment that while piling up wins during an undefeated start to the season is fun, the bigger goals are what seniors like herself and Roach are playing for.
"Us coming back from last year winning the Heritage, I think it gives us an extra confidence boost," DaBella said. "I think we're really striving to get that again, and that's our goal. I think the big picture is in all of our minds."
For Marion Center (0-5), just a win would be nice, but first-year coach Katie Proch is staying positive in the face of what appears to be a rebuilding year.
"We have a lot of young players, not a lot of upperclassmen," she said. We're getting that experience. It's a long process, but we'll get there."

How Do you Test a Gas Valve on Furnace?
I have a Gas Furnace that is not working properly. The gas furnace is a Tempstar 5000 (model: NUGE075BG01).
The furnace has an Intermittent Pilot Ignition System. It has a Honeywell gas valve and a Honeywell continuous ignition module (model S8600M). Here is a picture of how the module looks: http://i39.tinypic.com/14t8ttx.jpg
Here is my furnace problem: The pilot lights, but main burner does not come on.
Generally, I know how to use a voltage meter.
How do I test the gas valve to see if the Main Valve is getting voltage? Where do I put the voltage meter probes? Am I testing for 24VAC (alternating current)?
Also, can this problem be caused by a dirty flame sensor?
Please help me as soon as you can. Thanks.
Yes Jan it could be just a dirty flame sensor.You want to put your meter on VAC (volts alternating current)
put one of the leads on MV (main valve ) and the other on MV/PV this is your common terminal. If you read 24 vac then your valve is bad.......if you read anything other then 24 vac (less) then the control is not telling the valve to open and yes it may be the flame sensor.
Thanks for your reply! As soon as I get home from work, I will try this and let you know if it works. Thanks.

Target: Pennsylvania officials
Goal: Require Pennsylvania officials to report on all toxins found in contaminated drinking water
Recent legal documents revealed the truth about the contamination of Pennsylvania's drinking water. According to documents linked to a lawsuit against natural gas extraction, Pennsylvania officials had decided to disclose a limited amount of information regarding the safety of a private well located near a drilling site. The information about the presence of toxic metals in the drinking well should have been released to everyone that could be affected by the water, and by omitting this specific data, Pennsylvania officials jeopardized the safety of civilians.
The toxins most likely ended up in the local drinking water as a result of the drilling in the nearby location, which stresses the importance of limiting fracking. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a method used to extract gas from the ground. It is due to the fracking that the water became contaminated. Pennsylvania officials were required to report test data regarding the drilling site but chose to keep some information from the public. According to the New York Times, a scientist with the state's Department of Environmental Protection stated that her lab tested for several metals but only reported some of the results because the oil and gas division did not ask for everything.
Regardless of whether or not the division asked for the full range of tests, since the metals could be dangerous, the officials should have released the entire truth behind the lab tests and the results. Seven people who get their water source near this drilling site fell sick from what they thought was safe water to drink. The fact that the officials did not think to warn people about the water was irresponsible. It also showed how selfish and insensitive the officials were in putting fracking and profits ahead of health and safety.
Although the oil and gas division only asked to test for certain metals, the metals that went unnoticed, like copper, nickel, zinc and titanium, can all be hazardous according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The Pennsylvania officials must release all of the test data to the public and restore the safety of the drinking water.
Dear Pennsylvania officials,
The fact that you chose to omit certain parts of the lab test results from Pennsylvania's drinking water reveals how insensitive and irresponsible you are. Just because the oil and gas division did not ask for the full range of tests does not mean that you should not report everything that was found in the water. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, metals such as zinc, copper, nickel, and titanium, metals that you did not report, can be hazardous to people's health.
Seven residents near the drilling site fell ill after drinking the water that was supposed to be safe. If you were responsible and told the people that the water may be contaminated with toxic metals because of the fracking, people would not be sick right now. Please clean up the water and disclose all lab test results, especially if they can help save people from a trip to the hospital.

INKJune 10, 2007 – 7:31 pm
Ink is a type of liquid containing many pigments and dyes, which are used for coloring to bring out an image. Ink may be used either for writing or drawing with brush or pen respectively. Ink may also be of the thick variety, which is used in letterpress and lithographic, printing.
The Egyptians were one of the earliest to have used ink. It consisted of many natural dyes from metals, beans, seeds and even from squids. India ink started in Asia and is black. The old school of painters used walnut ink and or iron gall ink.
Some sort of adhesion quality is essential for inks. These adhesions are known as resins or agents that bind in ink that is water-based. Pigmented ink is best for printing on paper because it stays on the surface and thus less ink is required to make the mark.
Apart from adhesives the main components of ink comprise of pigments. Pigments are all about hue, saturation point and quality of brightness. It all depends on the source as well as the type of pigment. However, ink that is based on dye is much stronger than those based on pigments. But the disadvantage is that the dye, since these are dissolved in liquid, has a tendency to drench the paper. Thus not only is it less efficient but it blurs the image making the quality of the produced product poor. To solve this, dye-based ink is now made with solvents that rapidly dry out. Sometimes the methods of printing allow for quick drying. Another angle of approach is to use hard paper or having the paper coated with a charge. Another term used in the world of ink is cellulose. This is the material from which paper is made. It is so charged that it computes well with both the surface and the dye. The name of such a compound in ink-jet printing inks used commonly today is polyvinyl pyrrolidone. There are however advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand it leads to optical brightness but on the other it is more susceptible to the effects of fading.
Ink made its debut in the history of mankind about five thousand years ago in China. Initially it was used for blackening raised portions of pictures and texts on engraved stones. The components of this early ink were soot and animal-based gelatin. Other countries developed many types and colors of ink from berries, minerals and various plants. Pine smoke and lamp oil were also used. About one thousand six hundred years ago ink was popularly made from iron salts, mixed with tannin and acid. The color was bluish black. Time turned it into a dull form of brown color. In the Middle Ages sheepskin parchment was used for writing. In the 12th century drying hawthorn branches, which were then pounded before being soaked for eight days, formed ink. The concoction was boiled in water until the paste thickened and blackened. This ink was then poured into bags dried. Finally this dried stuff was mixed with iron salt and wine over a fire.
Guttenberg developed a new type of ink during the 15th century to go with his printing press. At that time the two prevalent types of ink were Greek and Roman and neither could stick to the surface of the paper meant for printing. The solution consisted of a type of ink made from soot and turpentine mixed with walnut oil.
The modern world and the ball point together with the computer age are bringing about changes daily in the world of ink. A word of caution should be kept in mind. Ink is dangerous if it is ingested.
