K&K Audio / Lundahl Transformers
Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share youe ideas and experiences.
I talked to Kevin over the phone and he cleared this post, as I changed a lot of stuff (I just can't leave well enough alone). As Kevin put it, " sure go ahead, after all it's DIY", so here goes.
My brother had an old ST-70 that he had put a Triode Electronics board on, and it went bad. As a Christmas present I told him I'd re-do the ST-70. I was thinking about doing a driver board myself, but when I saw Kevin's kit, it was so close to what I had up my sleeve, I thought why re-invent the wheel, so we bought the premium kit without the capacitors.
The kit is very professionally put together, and the instructions are excellent. Even newbies shouldn't have any trouble with them. I've seen some kits before, but this is especially well done. All the parts are packaged very nicely (most important every part was there), the instructions come in a binder, and I can find no typos or mistakes. It even comes with a photo CD, VERY NICE!
Let me say right off the bat I never thought an ST-70 could sound this good. I realize that there isn't much ST-70 about it anymore, but I'm amazed of what those old output transformers are capable of! To say my brother and are are pleased is an understatement.
Here's where I parted with the kit...I like carbon film resistors, so I put in a lot of KOA Speer carbon film resistors in the signal path (pretty much throughout). I had a bunch of 70's era Soviet 6p3s-e tubes (sorta like 6L6s), and matched up a perfect quad, at least as close as my Heathkit T-1 tester could determine. I also had a bunch of early 70's 6n23p-evs, and matched up a pair with matched triode sections. The other thing I did was to use .113uf Russian SSG silver and micas for coupling caps.
To get the coupling caps on the board, I had to cast little silicone bases on the top of the caps with a couple of silver wire leads sticking out. The bases allowed me to drill some holes through the board for the leads to go through, and mount the caps lead side down, bringing the leads up through the backside of the board, and soldered to the pads. This allows not only for the space for the big Russian caps, but for very short leads from the caps, as well as a certain amount of cap damping from the silicone bases. Don't know that the damping and short leads really help, but sure can't hurt.
My brother had a miss-matched set of EL-34s that were pretty trashed, so I didn't even try them. Unfortunately this means I couldn't do a direct comparison with the Russian tubes. The CCSs make the tube change easy, just drop them in, and adjust. I adjusted the tubes to run at 46ma. At the voltages the power supply puts out, they run right at 20 watts dissipation. They bias (42V) a little lower than EL 34s, so they only get about 8.2 watts rather than 10, but I can live with that. They sure sound nice!
Surprisingly the 6n23p-evs required to deviate from the kit instructions a little. With the CCSs set at 15ma, there was about 190V on the plate, and the bias was at about 5V. This put the operating point pretty much in a non-linear part of the plate curves. It turns out that the earlier 70s EV versions have substantially less RP than the later production 6N23s. Looking at the schematic, I realized that if I turned up the CCS that the increased current draw dropped the B+ through the plate resistor and dropping resistor. I upped the CCS from 15 to 18ma, the B+ came down to about 125V, with a bias of 3V. This put the operating point in a more linear part of the curves (about the same as the operating points would be with the stock tubes), and the amp sounded a lot better. Of course with the increased current draw, the load and dropping resistors are working pretty close to their limits (more about this later).
When I first fired it up it sounded pretty thin and congested, but after a few hours it really started to open up. The only speakers we had at the time were some old 87db efficient NSTs. I was amazed that the little amp, in triode mode, drove them pretty well. I have since finished my Straight 8 clones and WOW does it sound good.
I've included some shots of the amp, my bread boarded 6n1p-ev parafeed transformer output preamp (lots of cheap iron, 11 inductors), and the tweaked and modded Straight 8 clones (I guess they're twystd 8s now).
One last thing, I started thinking about the driver stage load and dropping resistors, and decided to up the load, and lower the dropping resistor to get pretty much the same operating points on the 6n23p-evs. The thought here is that with the increased load, I should get a little more mu out of the driver stage, and a little less distortion. At the same time I could up the wattage of the resistors for a better safety factor. I sprung for four 5 watt 27K Kiwame load resistors, and two 5 watt 5.6K Kiwame dropping resistors. I could get the 5 watt dropping resistors on the board, but had to hang the four 5 watt load resistors on the bottom side of the board upside down. The resistors aren't broken in yet, only about 5 hours on them. I can already tell the higher load added a fair amount of detail, especially noticeable in things like cymbals, and other high end detail. I think I'm going to keep this mod, as the added detail hasn't led to any listener fatigue, and is quite impressive.
We put the amp on the test bench, and found out that it puts out 8.2 watts before clipping, and at 1 watt it is 1db down at 20hz, and the 3db down point is 27Khz. BTW, the amp does invert phase, but that works out because so does the preamp, besides it's no trouble to change phase with speaker cables.
My brother and I are very happy campers, can't believe an "ST-70" can sound that good, and highly recommend the driver board to anyone. Nice job Kevin.

Man being evaluated after reporting a burglary that brought armed Sheriff's Deputies to home
Told deputies he had a gun to protect himself
WATSONVILLE, Calif. - Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies say a 70-year-old Watsonville man is being evaluated for a 5150 hold after they responded to his home for reports of a burglary.
Deputies were called to the home on Green Valley Road and San Simeon just after 5:30 Friday. The homeowner, who deputies say has a history of mental illness, said he heard someone in the home with him and was protecting himself with a gun.
When deputies arrived and tried communicating with the homeowner, they received no response. They went into the home to find the man alone and unharmed.
Deputies say they removed two guns from the home and took the man to a hospital for evaluation.

Th e Buckeyes host Illinois with a 12-5 record in league play during the 2013 conference season. Ohio State has won at least 10 league games 31 times. Matta tied legendary Ohio State coach Fred Taylor, who coached eight teams to 10 or more league victories, with the win over Michigan State Feb. 24. Matta's nine 20-win seasons overall is an Ohio State record. Taylor led the Buckeyes to six 20+ win campaigns.
THOMAS ADDED TO 1,000/500 CLUB: A total of 25 Ohio State players have scored 1,000 or more points to go with 500 career rebounds. Deshaun Thomas (1,470 career points/519 rebounds) is the latest to join the club after a seven-rebound effort vs. No. 4 Michigan State Feb. 24. Before Thomas, Jared Sullinger was the last to reach the milestone with 1,282 career points and 717 career rebounds. Thad Matta has coached six of the players on the all-time list. William Buford (1,990/666), Terence Dials (1,566/876), Evan Turner (1,517/683), David Lighty (1,458/577), Sullinger and now Th omas have been added to the list during Matta's tenure.

Notable quotable:
Buckeyes Head Coach Thad Matta:
"I just want to play well Sunday. That is where our focus is completely. We would be foolish to think past 12:30 Sunday. I say that being respectful -- that's all we've ever done. We have one more game to play to end the regular season and that is the only thing that is on my mind and on the player's minds.
"The one thing I told them is you can't win anything if you don't play well, and you're playing a team that literally destroyed you on January 5th. Quite honestly there hasn't been any other conversation than that other than you've got to play better than the last time we played this team. The fact that we won a big road game the other day doesn't mean a darn thing in terms of Sunday."
On his players mindset in the first matchup against Illinois…
"I don't know what they were that day. I say that from the standpoint that Illinois played unbelievable. It's a credit to them, they're one of the more talented teams in the league."

Get the Low Down
Dubstep was popping up in Miami venues long before it was usurped by the likes of Skrillex. In fact, back when British pioneers were experimenting with the genre, they frequently crossed the Atlantic to pay the 305 a visit. But its point of dominance came when Shake, the Thursday-night party at the Vagabond (30 NE 14th St., Miami), started a party within a party, and hence Get Low was born. The monthly bash devoted to the often-maligned EDM genre is still very much devoted to bringing the best that dubstep offers, meaning you'll find more of the original UK style and less of the American brostep variety. It's probably why the title of Best Monthly Party we bestowed on it in 2010's "Best of Miami" issue still holds years later. And this week, helping Get Low celebrate its three-year milestone is Japan's Goth-Trad, who's been perfecting his craft since 2001, and New Zealand's Truth. Leading the local cavalry are Ashworth, A-Train, Rob Riggs, and, of course, Juan BassHead, who began championing dubstep when most of its current fans were in elementary school.

Action voted Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015Publication date: 1 December 2014
Action voted Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015
Action was voted 'Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015'. In Europe's largest consumer survey, over 1 million consumers in nine countries voted and a total of 665 retailers were assessed. Action achieved the overall top score in the survey with respect to the aspects price level and promotions & offers and is therefore voted Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015.
Action had already been voted 'Retailer of the year in the Netherlands' and as the winner in the categories 'Department store' and 'Games'. Action was also voted as Retailer of the year in Germany in the category 'Household & Gifts', in France in the category 'Home & Decoration' and in Belgium in the category 'Department Store & Household'. Together with 7 other stores, Action then competed for the title 'Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015'.
Ronald van der Mark, CEO Action: "We are delighted that we have been voted 'Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015'. We have stores in four of the participating countries and have only been active in Germany and France for a short while. The fact that Action has been voted 'Retailer of the year Europe 2014-2015' proves that our customers in all the countries concerned value our low prices and broad and refreshing range. This makes us very proud and motivates us to further develop internationally and to invest in opening new stores and providing employment opportunities. On behalf of all of our colleagues at Action, we would like to thank our customers for their support. All of the colleagues at Action have also earned recognition for their efforts and enthusiasm. Thanks to them, we have happy customers each and every day."
About Retailer of the Year
Retailer of the Year, an initiative from Q&A Research & Consultancy, is the biggest consumer survey in Europe and involves over 1 million participants in nine countries. The concept was created as a result of a consumer desire to express an opinion about their favourite chain stores. The chain stores are awarded because, according to the consumer, they offer the best service when it comes to price, range and service, for example. Retailer of the Year is organised in nine European countries.
How does the survey work?
Consumers were able to assess their favourite chain stores over the spring and summer. This assessment was entered online on the basis of a questionnaire. The consumer could assess all of the chain stores they had used over the previous year. The assessment comprised a report figure for the nine most important sales aspects. In order to become overall winner for Europe, a retailer must win a category prize in at least four countries and/or be overall winner. The final figure is the average of all results, even if a retailer is not nominated but has achieved the lower limit.

Rather than checking out hot guys, we spend more time looking at other women instead!
Have you ever been suspicious of your man checking out another woman while you two were out on a date? Well, guess what? Chances are he's not the only doing it. A new study has revealed that women actually spend more time checking out other women than they do men. However, this doen't mean we're all swinging the other way – rather, we're just doing it for comparison's sake.
Observing what the 'opposition' is wearing, height, cellulite, where she could have bought her handbag or whether she has gotten plastic surgery done are all part of the usual thought processes of a woman. But it's not really a competition per se as 40 per cent of the 2,000 women polled said the comparison isn't made in a spiteful way. But one in ten women do want to always look better than the other women. Here are a couple more interesting finds from the poll done by online retailer Swimwear365:
- 50% of the women said they 'enjoy' comparing themselves to their female colleagues, friends or even a random stranger on the street.
- 42% find that every woman has something to compare themselves to.
- 1 in 5 women likes to guess which country the other woman is from.
- 1/3 of the women polled said they would be more impressed by a female with a toned physique than a man.
- Almost half of them would compliment a female stranger on how they look and the subject of compliment would most likely be their clothes.
- However, 86% of them would NOT pay a random male stranger a compliment as they wouldn't want the man to think it was flirting and 25% of this group thought it would go to his head.
- 43% of women won't believe a man's compliment about how they look, but if it's from another woman, 50% said they would get a genuine buzz.
- 42% of these ladies dress up on a day to day basis NOT to impress the guys but their female peers instead. This includes the big nights out too.
- Women tend to notice the following on other women:
- Clothes
- Hair style
- Tan
- Size
- Cleavage
- Cellulite
- Hair Colour
- Boob size
- Shoes
- Bag
Swimwear365's stylist Helen Boyle said, "Women check-out other women because they can relate to them and they know how hard it can be to keep a trim figure or maintain healthy hair, so there is obviously a genuine interest in how other females look."
She added, "Equally when you receive a flattering remark from a woman you don't know, it does mean more than if it came from a man perhaps as you think they may have an ulterior motive."

Epson's Expression range of all-in-ones stretches from a simple entry-level machine up to the Expression Photo XP-850, which has all the extras you are likely to ask for. Although it has the Photo tag, mainly indicating that it's a six-ink printer, it also includes an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for its scanner and full fax functions.
The printer has a surprisingly small footprint to its largely glossy black case and when you lift it you can tell that a lot is being packed inside, because of its solid and heavy make-up. The top cover has a slight wave to it, indicating Epson's inclusion of a 30-sheet ADF, where the centre section folds into a feed tray.
The control panel hinges out from the front surface of the printer and has an 88mm touchscreen in the centre, with dedicated touch buttons down either side. Below this is a flip-down cover for the two, separate paper trays. The top one of these takes 20 sheets of photo paper, while the bottom one takes only 100 sheets of plain paper, which seems a very small amount, even for a home printer.
There's no option for an extra tray, either, though a flip-down cover at the rear provides access to a single sheet feed for envelopes and special media. Lastly, right at the bottom is a CD/DVD carrier, which pulls out and slots in above the trays for direct disc printing.
The output tray and the touchscreen control panel above work in a similar way to HPs Envy lifestyle all-in-ones, but only do half the job. If you start printing without opening the machine up, it very intelligently folds out the control panel to a convenient angle and powers out the output tray.
However, like machines further down the Expression range, getting this tray back in again involves pressing on its front edge against quite a graunchy-feeling mechanism. This is crazy, as the tray is obviously capable of being driven back in, in the same way it was driven out.
A flip-open cover on the left-hand side reveals slots for SD, MemoryStick and Compact Flash cards and there's a USB socket with PictBridge support below this.
Sockets at the rear support USB, 10/100 Ethernet and phone line connection for the fax. Epson's software bundle handles printing, scanning and faxing and there's a three month trial of Corel Draw X6.

I had looked forward to this as a replacement for my PX720WD. I had understood that it had a single sheet facility. However, according to the specification in the review, the maximum 'paper' weight is 255gsm. If that is right, it is no better than the 'round the bend' printing of the 720.
Is it so limited? I was looking forward to a printer that would deal with heavier stock for greeting cards and the like. 255 is only moderate weight for that purpose.
I just purchased the XP 800 unit which overall I am very pleased with but I agree with this review on the outoput tray retraction issue which is shares with the 850. It is very odd that the motorised control panel and output tray opens automatically but will not retract, having to be closed manually. I have read various reviews on the web that say this is normal but I can't quite believe it I'm afraid. The tray is clearly motorised and could retract after printing and removal of print job just as easily as it opens. It feels odd to push the tray back in and you can clearly feel the resistance of the motorised mechanism. I have also seen this review that stated clearly that in the review model the output tray "When idle, the control panel and output tray retract automatically,...." http://www.computershopper....
I have seen the control panel close once automatically but never again since.
What has gone wrong with the firmware/drivers etc that means that this no longer happens? Has this been disabled in the driver software updates for some reason since that review?
The FAQ on the US support webpage has also only just appeared as it is flagged as new on 09/01/2013; it does not appear on the UK webpage. In addition, the manual explicitly mentions the manual opening and adjustment of the control panel but does not mention the output tray has to be manually closed.
What are you not telling us Epson?
If Darth Vader had a printer it would look like this...
Although I love the quality photo prints of epson I am ready to go postal on the tech & customer support - in over 6 years of printers I've only had 1 exceed it's warentee and have frequently had to have replacements replaced within a few weeks or even days. Less than a month ago I had to have my xp-850 replaced due to ink output the replacement didn't work and I could not take a chance of getting another lemon so I purchased a BRAND NEW one along with the replacement and now in just a few weeks neither one of them work - AGAIN!!! Same problem - ink nozzles. I really don't know why I continue with this company other than I just dont' know what other printer in this price range is any better with the same quality of photo prints. The minor things like tray retractions do not bother me one bit compared with other problems that require replacements and replacements of replacements.

Described as "moody and sensitive," Eddie Kendricks, lead singer of the Temptations, was the ultimate '60s pin-up boy. He was born in the racially charged Southern state of Alabama on Dec. 17, 1939. The 6-foot 1-inch falsetto went on to co-found one of the most distinguished male vocal groups of all time.
Before setting out on a solo career, from the 1960s to 1971, he was a member of the Temptations, known for their sharp suits and killer moves on stage. Kendricks thrilled the world with a bevy of Motown classics including "Just My Imagination," "My Girl" and "Aint Too Proud to Beg."
Like many groups, the Temptations suffered their share of triumphs and setbacks. After leaving the "Tempts," as they were sometimes called, Kendricks' solo career saw some successes but failed to reach the same dizzying heights as the Temptations.
Kendricks died of lung cancer in 1992.

Citation: Jago, R., Baranowski, T., Zakeri, I., Harris, M. 2005. Observed environmental features and the physical activity of adolescent males. American Journal of Preventive Medicine. 29(2):98-104. Interpretive Summary: A variety of environmental factors have been related to physical activity among adults. One study attempted to avoid the response bias problems of self report by using an instrument that measured 39 characteristics of each block within 400 meters of a respondent's home. None of this work has been done with children. This project was conducted as part of a study among Boy Scouts (11 to 14 years old). Statistical techniques reduced the 39 characteristics to four independent characteristics. Only one of these, sidewalk characteristics, was significantly related to physical activity. These findings suggest that physical characteristics of the neighborhood may not be as important an influence on children's physical activity as they are on adults'.
Technical Abstract: Background: It has recently been reported that adult physical activity was associated with environmental features. The aim of this study was to determine whether environmental features were associated with physical activity among male adolescents. Methods: Physical activity levels of 210 Boy Scouts were assessed for 3 days by accelerometry during 2003 and 2004. Mean minutes of sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity were calculated. Environmental features within a 400-meter radius of each participant's home address were assessed by direct observation using the Systematic Pedestrian and Cycling Environmental Scan (SPACES) instrument. Principal component factor analysis reduced the 35 SPACES items to four factors. Hierarchical and spatial regressions were conducted with physical activity as the dependent variable and environmental factors, age, body mass index, and ethnicity as independent variables. Results: Four factors were obtained: walking/cycling ease, tidiness, sidewalk characteristics, and street access and condition. Sidewalk characteristics were negatively associated with minutes of sedentary behavior, while age was positively associated. Sidewalk characteristics were positively associated with minutes of light-intensity physical activity, and age negatively associated. No environmental factor correlated with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Conclusions: A sidewalk characteristics factor, composed of sidewalk location, sidewalk material, presence of streetlights, and number and height of trees, was positively associated with light-intensity physical activity among male adolescents.

A new look at unbelievers, the Non-Religious Identification Survey, finds that true atheists, chiefly well educated guys and women who call themselves "spiritual" are just as happy as religious folks.
The survey looks at the emotional happiness of secularists, humanists, agnostics and atheists, the folks often called "Nones" for their "no religion" status in studies such as the authoritative, scientific survey by the American Religious Identification Surveyor ARIS.
It was conducted by the Center for Inquiry, which published a report on it, "Profiles of the Godless," in its magazine, Free Inquiry, says David Gibson, who promptly debunks the study.
Gibson, who writes now for Politics Daily (farewell to his Pontifications blog at Beliefnet.com) immediately debunks the study. gives the study's main claims:
... confident nonbelievers are more emotionally healthy with respect to 'fence sitters' or religious doubters, shows that''spirituals' report less satisfaction with their lives than those who identify with other self-labels, and suggests that the common assumption that greater religiosity relates to greater happiness and life satisfaction is not quite true.
But, says Gibson...
-- CFI's field of 5,831 respondents, chiefly Americans, is stacked with Center members and their pals.
-- It's findings aren't really fresh. Just like the scientifically conducted ARIS, the N-ARIS finds, surprise, "non-believers, especially true atheists, tend to be men with advanced degrees and a much higher socioeconomic ranking than most Americans." And women prefer to be called "spiritual."
-- The big name, big book atheists -- Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens -- can't evangelize for atheism with a smile because there's so much infighting over exact definitions of "atheist" or "agnostic" or "None," says Gibson, parsing the terms in a paragraph that made me smile.
Send me comments -- cheerful or not -- here. And you can always follow me on Twitter.
DO YOU THINK ... atheists make more noise than their numbers? Should it matter to believers if unbelievers are happy, too? Who decides if you are "happy" enough?

Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, a blog party I host at the end of every week to celebrate the things that make us happy. This week I'm hooked on Brooke Giannetti's house, which is only a hop and a skip to the beach. Brooke is the talented designer behind the beautiful blog Velvet & Linen. She gave a tour of her home on her blog recently, and I knew I would like it the minute I saw this charming front porch.
Brooke says, "We built it seven years ago, but Steve and I wanted it to feel like an old beach cottage."
The enclosed garden room used to be the back porch. Brooke says, "It is a great place to sit and watch the kids in the pool or just read a book. I keep dreaming of putting a little desk in here. I would love to work and look out into the garden." Me, too! Maybe I'll put MY desk in Brooke's garden room. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I'd be quiet as a mouse. She wouldn't even know I was there!
To see the rest of Brooke's home, visit Velvet & Linen and take the tour. I bet her blog will become one of your favorites, too! (And if you like beach houses in general, visit my other blog, Beach Cottage Love, where it's all beachy, all the time.)
Now it's your turn to tell us what you're hooked on today! If you have something to share with us on your blog, then add your link below. (The party is now closed.)

Xue Ruozhe's works are about plural figures or figures in plural forms. Being plural can be interpreted as two or more similar things or people, or two or more sides of a single thing or person, or even one entity been separated into two parts or infinite parts. Therefore, Ruozhe not only depicts figures but also expresses his ideas when creating.
What Ruozhe has been doing can be called "Concept Painting". When putting these two strong factors together, the feeling is harmony, not tension. The concept is flowing in the blood of his works, and painting is the nature.
"Non-narrative" was one of the key elements of conceptual art. But Ruozhe uses it reversely. His way of expressing narratives is close to German and Russian literary, stable but not flowing, low profile but not high profile, like a dead body that is still warm, just dead but not yet stiff. His paintings are delirious conversations with himself and the images, or conversations between images themselves.

Trocaire Trends
Inaugurations are large celebrations in honor of the installation of a new president. It is an opportunity for the entire academic community and its constituents to welcome a new leader and joyfully anticipate the future.
November 2, 2012
From the
Dear friends and supporters: As I complete my first six months at Trocaire College, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the support you have given the college over the years. I look forward to the opportunity to visit with you and keep you informed about all the wonderful things that are taking place at the college. As you can imagine, being the new president I have spent time conversing with staff, faculty, and students. In addition, I have met with current and former board of trustee members, the alumni board, benefactors, local politicians, and a number of other businesses and organizations that have historically supported Trocaire College, provided clinical and internship opportunities for our students, and generally have been a validating voice to the quality of education that Trocaire provides in the Buffalo region. I am honored to have been selected by the Board of Trustees and humbled to take the torch of leadership from Dr. Paul Hurley, Jr. after fourteen years of service to the college. His leadership and commitment to the institution made it possible for Trocaire to stabilize its enrollment and finances as well as provide a solid foundation to move the college forward. The college was recently approved to add two Bachelor of Professional Studies degrees in Diagnostic Medical Sonography and in Echocardiography which brings the total number of baccalaureate programs to five. This type of development will position Trocaire College to remain as the leading provider of higher education in health related professions in the region. Our Hospitality Management students will be able to study for one semester as a visiting student at MODUL University, a top ranked hospitality school in Austria. These are only two examples of the new and innovative efforts the faculty and staff have undertaken at the college. In my inaugural address, I shared with the college community my positive impressions of Trocaire and all that it has accomplished over the past fifty-four years. The Sisters of Mercy have laid a strong foundation for us to empower students toward personal enrichment, dignity, and self-worth. As a member of the Conference for Mercy Higher Education, Trocaire adheres to the principals of preserving the core Catholic identity and the Mercy mission. At the core of this mission is a call to work together as members of this higher education community to model mercy and justice, and to promote systemic change with special concern for women, children, and the less fortunate, as we embrace our multicultural and international reality. However, our work is not done. We must continue to chart new efforts and be ever more creative in the way we deliver our academic programs. We must be entrepreneurial in our approach as we work with K-12 schools, hospitals, businesses, and the community in order for our students to have a successful educational experience, whether they are pursuing a certificate, associate, or baccalaureate degree. We, at Trocaire College, pray that God's blessings bring you and yours happiness and health in this new year of 2013. We look forward to your continued support of the college.

Russell J. Salvatore Gives Trocaire Hospitality Students an A+ On November 14 Trocaire College's hospitality management students held their grand opening of Lunch at Russell's by Trocaire College. Brandon Supernault, director of hospitality management at the Russell J. Salvatore School of Hospitality & Business explained, "Lunch at Russell's allows our hospitality management students to implement the
knowledge they have learned in the classroom into practical dining experience that emphasizes creativity and focuses on providing excellent service to the community. The students were provided a wonderful opportunity to provide this service in one of the finest restaurants in Western New York - Russell's Steaks, Chops & More." The lunch service, which was open to the public, featured a Seasonal Prix Fixe menu featuring items such as Butternut Squash Soup, a Banh Mi Sandwich, Seafood en Papillote and the famous Trocaire Chicken Pot Pie. Mark Jerge, general manager of Salvatore's Grand Hotel said, "This to me was a natural progression for the program. It was a culmination of many great ideas and the students really made it their own. We were ready to jump in and help, but really they had it all handled. I can't wait for next year and this current class has certainly set the mark."

Lunch at Russell's by Trocaire College was led by student manager, Miranda Morales, and featured both freshman and sophomore students in the hospitality management program. Marketing course students developed a marketing plan and Facebook page to promote the Seasonal Prix Fixe menu and service. Students in the Introduction to Food and Beverage course provided the front of the house staff while the Culinary Foundations course served an array of culinary dishes. So how was the food? Food critic and owner of Salvatore's Grand Hotel and Russell's Steaks, Chops & More, Russell J. Salvatore stated, "I was very impressed with every aspect of the event. The students felt comfortable and all came across very professional and the food was delicious, A+." The Trocaire Hospitality Department and the management at Russell's, Steaks, Chops & More are currently developing the date for the next Lunch at Russell's by Trocaire College.

First International Program Launched On November 20, Trocaire announced an Agreement of Cooperation between the college and MODUL University in Vienna, Austria. As the college's first international program, this innovative partnership affords Trocaire hospitality management students the opportunity to study for one semester (six months) as a visiting student at MODUL University. While at MODUL, students will be studying at the top ranked hospitality school in Austria. They will be part of an international student body of more than 250 students from more than fifty countries around the world. Trocaire College is only one of six institutions of higher education in the United States, and the only two-year hospitality program in the world, to partner with MODUL University. "This wonderful study/work abroad program is truly one of the best international programs around and helps to enhance Trocaire's program in continuing to be one of the finest Hospitality Management programs in Western New York," noted hospitality program director Brandon Supernault. "This partnership allows students to work and study abroad, while enjoying the cultural elements of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I am truly proud of the hard work and commitment both institutions have made over the past year and a half to make this possible for our students."
This agreement will include faculty and research collaboration as well as a study abroad option that gives Trocaire College hospitality students the opportunity to take courses in Market Research & Consumer Behavior, Advertising & Marketing Communication, Business & Tourism Law, Revenue Management, and Latest Trends & Innovations. Students will also have the opportunity to complete their practical internship hours at the Steigenberger Herrenhof Wien. This prestigious, five-star hotel was recently rated one of the top 20 hotels in Europe by TripAdvisor.com. Upon completion of their semester at MODUL University, students will transfer back thirteen credit hours towards their Associate in Applied Science degree or Certificate in Hospitality Management at Trocaire College.
Partnership with Catholic Health System Nurse Residency Program The Catholic Health System (CHS) has recently initiated a nurse residency program that helps and supports new nurses as they transition from a student nurse to a competent and independent professional. Through a unique collaboration, Trocaire's nursing faculty members are working closely with CHS to develop and implement clinical scenarios for the newly graduated nurse to increase their confidence level.
The first simulation, held in October, was a scenario of a patient experiencing chest pain with a family member present. The CHS nurses practiced how to assess the patient and then communicate with the patient's family and physicians. The interaction was videotaped and a debriefing was held to evaluate communication and assessment skills of the nurses. The care of a respiratory patient was the topic of the second simulation held in December. The CHS nurses who participate in the nurse residency program receive a blend of classroom and hands-on experience. "Trocaire College is pleased to be a partner in providing additional clinical support and mentoring through simulation," noted Mary Ann Deb, Trocaire Professor of Nursing. "Our nursing faculty and the CHS hospital educators worked together to develop and implement clinical scenarios for the new graduate nurse as they transition into their first professional roles in the Catholic Health System."

Through this innovative program, the new CHS nurses will develop the essential skills needed to move successfully into the role of a professional nurse - experiencing an increase in job satisfaction which directly results in an increase in patient satisfaction.
Moving For ward Deeb Installed as Trocaire's 6 th President
On Friday, November 2, faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends, family, community leaders, and delegates from other institutions of higher learning officially welcomed Dr. Bassam M. Deeb into the Trocaire Family as he was inaugurated as the College's 6th President.
Trocaire Inaugurates Sixth President "I am honored to stand before you as the sixth President of Trocaire College," noted Deeb, who began his Trocaire journey this past summer. The former Vice President for Student Services at Niagara County Community College, Deeb began his presidency at Trocaire College on July 9. Since that time he has been meeting with every college program director, dean, department head and board member. He has also initiated meetings with faculty and staff groups, students, major donors of the college and local political leaders. In his inaugural address Deeb said, "I am amazed by the openness and support I have received throughout my visits. Trocaire holds a special place in the heart of everyone I have Trocaire's First Family – From left to right: Emily, Jodi, Bassam and Matthew Deeb. spoken to." Inaugurations are celebrations in honor of the installation of a new president. It is customary for members of various constituencies to deliver messages and greetings during the installation ceremony. Greetings for President Deeb were offered on behalf of the Board of Trustees, college community, faculty, alumni, current student body, WNY community and higher education community. Board chair Lisa Kirisits said of Deeb, "A new era for this Mercy inspired college began on July 9, 2012 with your selection as the sixth president of Trocaire College. Your impressive breadth of experience, knowledge and pure talent has become obvious to all of us."
Student Association President Alexandria Mann extended a warm welcome to the new president on behalf of the student body and noted that a new chapter begins for Trocaire College. "As students we have all arrived here from diverse backgrounds, but have all come to Trocaire to accomplish a common goal – to dream, focus and succeed. We chose Trocaire because we know it is the best and we know you have come to that conclusion as well." The Most Rev. Richard J. Malone, D.D., Bishop of Buffalo, delivered the invocation and the benediction was given by Msgr. Bakhos Chidiac, Pastor of Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Wheeling, West Virginia. The afternoon ceremony included a musical interlude by the Sisters of Mercy Choir, celebrating the college's Mercy heritage. The presidential medallion was bestowed to Deeb by Board chair Lisa M. Kirisits. Sister JoAnne Courneen, RSM, President, Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, New York, Pennsylvania, Pacific West community, gave the Congregational Prayer of Investiture.

An inauguration is a time to introduce the new president and provide a platform for the president to publicly express his or her vision. Deeb's inaugural address was both a celebration of Trocaire's history and a glimpse of his vision for its future. In his remarks he recognized that the college has adhered to the core mission
of the Sisters of Mercy. "What sets Trocaire apart from others is the fact that we are about giving people a chance, that they may not otherwise get, to attend a small college with a supportive and nurturing environment; a college that focuses on each person's needs and skills and gives them the tools they need to enter the world of work and lead successful lives." "Today our motto at Trocaire College is Dream, Focus, Succeed," noted Deeb. "These are not just words that are relevant to our students but should be relevant to all of us, the custodians of Trocaire College." Pointing to the future, President Deeb told the audience "The time is ripe for us together to lead Trocaire into the future – a future based on a shared vision, a commitment to transparency and involvement at all levels, a qualitative and quantitative review of critical and strategic issues, and a direct and decisive decision-making process that recognizes our identity, mission, and commitment to serve our community."

Staff Profile
Serving Trocaire: Serving Our Country Brad Baumgardner, a Western New York native, started college at Onondaga Community College in East Syracuse, NY, but his journey wasn't that of the average college student. At 19-years-old, he heard his calling and enlisted in the United States Air Force. In November of 2000, he left home and started his military career. Last month marks his twelve year anniversary with the Air Force. "I went into the service before September 11, 2001. Within a year of my enlistment, the twin towers fell and our unit was on our way to the Middle East." While Brad was in active duty, he honorably completed five deployments taking him to seven countries in the Middle East, ten countries in Europe, ten countries in Africa and also to Columbia in South America. All of the deployments he completed were in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). When speaking of his deployments and his time on active duty, Brad has a humble opinion of his role. "There is never any level of vanity in my life. I don't live my life like that. I feel blessed to be able to open my eyes, experience things I have seen and accomplished, and in the end come home safely." Late in 2004 his time serving our country came to an end, or so he thought. "When I got off of active duty, I thought I was done. I never thought I was going to go back, but after six months of being out, I really missed it. I was in charge of a 300 million dollar aircraft and when I came back home, not being in charge of something so significant really started to weigh on me." While Brad began his studies at the University at Buffalo in the spring of 2005, he soon found himself returning

to the U.S. Air Force Reserves, and the rest of his twelve years are history. An enlisted aviator, a Computer Radar Specialist aboard the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS), and a C-130 Loadmaster were just some of Brad's credentials upon starting at Trocaire College in June of 2011 as the college's Veteran Services Coordinator. As the first person to be employed in this role at Trocaire, Brad has made the position into what it is today. He is currently responsible for helping students obtain all the financial help and resources they need to succeed. "Trocaire was the first college in Western New York to offer a tuition-free benefit for OEF and OIF veterans," stated Brad. Although the number of students varies each semester, he serves approximately 100 student veterans and their families. "I essentially have a role in every office here at the college. I have a small group of students, about 7% of the total enrolled, and I need to know about each student as they begin the next phase in their lives. I am here to help them along every step of the way from admissions, to academic advisement to benefits, all the way through to graduation. Over the course of a semester I get to know each student really well. It helps being at a smaller college ensuring they are having the best experience possible both inside the classroom and out. It's easy to just be a number or get lost in a larger institution; whereas at Trocaire, I get a chance to understand the challenges each of our students face as they transition from being in the military culture to an academic one," stated Brad. "This added benefit allows this office to enhance the services provided to every student that enrolls at Trocaire." In Brad, we know we are blessed with a dedicated, motivated, and positive employee at Trocaire College. If you see Brad's smiling face, consider thanking him for what he has graciously helped continue to give all of us - our freedom.
Student Profile Never Say Never
Michelle Ameera Hassan's typical day begins at 5:00 a.m. One by one, she wakes up each of her six children, preparing them breakfast and getting them ready for school. By 10:00 a.m. she is dashing around the house taking care of her toddler, scheduling doctor appointments for her disabled daughter and making dinner for the children for later that evening. Somehow, amongst all of her responsibilities, Michelle found time to enroll at Trocaire College and is now a second semester registered nursing student. Her children, Yasmine, 16; Rose, 13; Bryanna, 11; Summer, 10; Alexzander, 8; and Laila, 4 are her motivation. "My children are my inspiration for everything I do. I'm going to school and bettering my education for them. They are so supportive of my studies at Trocaire," said Michelle. Describing her children as supportive may be an understatement. From the very oldest, to the very youngest, they all help each other in different ways. On a day-today basis, her eldest daughter takes all the younger kids off of the bus and ensures they do their homework while she fixes plates with the meal Michelle made for them that morning. They also love to help their mom study her nursing material whenever they can. Michelle's daughter Summer helped her study with flashcards so much over her break from school, she went back to elementary school with a whole new set of mental faculties. When her teacher asked each person in the class to share something they did over their break, Summer said, "I learned how to identify an apical pulse. 60-100 beats per minute is normal, but my mom thinks anything over 80 we have to watch." Needless to say, Summer's teacher was quite impressed. Michelle draws her highest form of motivation from her daughter, Bryanna. "When she was born, the doctors said that there was no hope in her survival," said Michelle. At the age of eight she suffered a stroke which caused facial paralysis and left the doctors perplexed. The things we take for granted like chewing food and opening our eyes became Bryanna's daily battles. Michelle explained, "This little girl was so determined and she did not give up on anything. She always saw the positive in everything. She taught me the meaning of life. She taught me strength and courage and to never give up on hope. Hope is all we have."
Now 11-years-old, doctors believe Bryanna has a mitochondrial muscle disease and she works with an occupational therapist on a regular basis. "Her whole life she has been treated like a guinea pig; testing different methods, trying to figure out what her condition is. I am not sure if Bryanna realizes how strong of a person she is. I am who I am because of her. She can overcome anything because God is with her in her journey of life," said Michelle. Largely because of Bryanna the Hassan family has adopted a family motto to remove 'never' from their vocabulary. "There is no such thing as never," says Michelle. Michelle's clinical instructor at Mercy Hospital, Donnette Hong, can attest to her dedicated and optimistic approach on life. "She is kind and supportive to classmates and patients. She has a positive attitude and is hardworking; a true role model to the other students," said Hong. "Michelle has a level of empathy for patients that very few students at her level demonstrate. She is always doing nice things for people, and she never expects anything in return." Sustaining over a 3.0 average in a demanding program is definitely something to be proud of, especially considering how trying her schedule is. "I am lucky to be a student at Trocaire. I feel very blessed to be here," noted Michelle. In true Michelle fashion, on top of all of her other responsibilities, she manages to tutor students for sociology and psychology in the Palisano Center for Academic Success (PCAS) at Trocaire. Dr. Althea Porter, Director of the PCAS, describes Michelle as a very well-liked person. "Michele is a very enthusiastic and motivated student. The Center was very proud that she was honored at last year's honors convocation for her academic achievements," stated Dr. Porter. Living in the now and tackling her daily responsibilities isn't Michelle's only strong suit; she has high goals and dreams for the future. When she graduates, she hopes to further her education and become a nurse practitioner. Michelle also stated, "I aspire to give back to the community and open a scholarship fund for mothers who want to improve their families' lives by continuing their education." By the time she is 50, she plans to write a book. It is apparent, "never" is not a word in Michelle Hassan's vocabulary. trocaire.edu 9
Reflecting on the Past Year As President of the Trocaire College Alumni Board, I can look back on this past year with a feeling of pride for all that has taken place, and at the same time, look forward to the activities that are planned for the upcoming year. The Alumni Association is on the move and we invite you to join us every step of the way. During this very special time of year we are mindful of the challenges that so many have faced; a difficult economy, the natural disasters that have affected us around the country, around the world, and the personal struggles that we often face from day-to-day. We are also extremely grateful for the blessings of family, friends, colleagues and those of you who have been so generous to our students and their pursuit of a quality education. This past October, 420 alumni and friends joined together to honor several individuals in our community who have demonstrated their belief in providing deserving individuals with a quality education through their philanthropic support. Reflections 2012, Trocaire's signature fundraising event, honored Sr. Marie Bernarde Procknal, RSM, Gary Miller, and Amy J. Habib and The Habib Family. Frank G. Downing, Sr., a longtime friend of the college, received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his commitment to Trocaire College and Peg Overdorf was the recipient of the President's Distinguished Service award. All of the honorees' generosity and support parallel the mission of the Sisters of Mercy and Trocaire College each and every day. More than $130,000 was raised for scholarships that evening. Time goes by so quickly. It is hard to believe that very soon six deserving individuals will be honored at the Distinguished Alumni Dinner. The event will be held again this year at Ilio DiPaolo's on Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Last year we had a record-breaking crowd as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first graduating class. Please save the date as space will be limited for this event. Last March we traveled to Florida visiting alumni in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Venice and the Villages. Due to Hurricane Sandy, the New York City Alumni Reunion, which was to be held in early November, was postponed and is now scheduled for Saturday, January 26, 2013. If you will be in the area, please plan to attend. At the end of February, there will be a reunion of Trocaire alumni in Naples, Florida and in April there will be three alumni events held in the Western New York area. Dr. Paul B. Hurley, Jr., president of Trocaire College for the past fourteen years, retired at the end of June. In July, the sixth president of the college, Dr. Bassam M. Deeb, was named the new president. The alumni board met with Dr. Deeb in September and we look forward to working with him for many years to come. I am thankful that I will have the opportunity to work with so many alumni and friends as the Alumni Board President again this coming year. God bless, Henry (Hank) J. Mumme, Jr. '01, RN 10 trocaire.edu
Upcoming Alumni Events Distinguished Alumni Dinner Six distinguished alumni will be honored for outstanding service/ accomplishments in their respective fields of work at the Distinguished Alumni Dinner to be held at Ilio DiPaolo's on Wednesday, February 6 beginning at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $45 each. Make your reservation today. We will be communicating details of the event via e-mail.

If you are coming from outside the Manhattan area, a block of rooms have been reserved at the rate of $238 per night including taxes for January 25 and 26. Florida Reunion There will be a gathering of alumni living in Florida during the latter part of February. The event will take place in Naples, Florida. Whether you are just visiting or live in the area, please plan to join us. Further information will be communicated through the alumni e-newsletter so please provide us with your e-mail address. Another Shopping Experience is Scheduled! Forty-four alumni and friends traveled by chartered bus to the Grove City Premium Outlets in Pennsylvania on October 20. Everyone had such a great time that another event will be scheduled in the spring of 2013.

Third-Party Fundraising 101 There are many different ways in which to fundraise as an organization. Most common activities are galas, scholarship dinners, golf tournaments, auctions, etc. Typically, the Development Office or Alumni Office at a higher education institution coordinates these activities using a team of staff members and/or volunteers. Most of these events require a great deal of planning, coordination and implementation by staff, but raise significant dollars for the organization. There is also another category of fundraising which is commonly known as a third-party fundraiser. This means that an individual or group of people will coordinate an activity with the proceeds going to a charity of their choice. There is usually very little time invested by the beneficiary of the event other than providing logos, signage, etc. Of course any organization is very pleased to be at the receiving end of such a project. This past year, two alumnae, who are also Trocaire employees, were kind enough to coordinate an effort on their own time to raise funds by selling Bon-Ton Community Day coupon books. Kathy Popielski '74 and Kathy Hoffstetter '72 raised almost $300 that was donated to the Alumni Association. Joni Williams recently coordinated a project at The Wear House Accessorized, which raised almost $300 for the annual fund. We are conveying this to you because perhaps you are planning a wedding, and in lieu of buying favors, you would like to make a donation to Trocaire. Maybe you are hosting a jewelry sale in your home, and you will earn a piece of jewelry
in exchange for hosting the event, but you really don't need another gold necklace. Why not donate it to an organization that can use it as an incentive to raise money. These are simple examples of ways in which you and your family and friends can give back to Trocaire College and its students. If you would like more information on how to coordinate an event, please contact Joni Williams at email@example.com or 716-827-4341. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Ways to Give Since 1958, Trocaire College has provided a quality education to more than 9,000 individuals, most of who continue to live and work in Buffalo & Erie County. We are proud of the accomplishments made by these many alumni and hope to continue the legacy for years to come. If you would like additional information about supporting Trocaire, please contact our Institutional Advancement Office at 716-827-4341 or go to www.trocaire.edu, click on the "GIVE" button in the right hand corner – it's that easy! You can contribute to the following: Annual Fund, Courtyard Bricks & Pavers, Scholarship Fund, Reflections Scholarship Fund, the Sister Barbara Ciarico, RSM Legacy Society, Planned Giving, Gifts of Stock or Naming Opportunities.

Toolmonger's got it right about this "Cabinet Jack":
It's refreshing to see a multi-tool that doesn't try to be all things to all people. Instead, the Cabinet Jack focuses specifically on cabinet making needs, assisting in tasks like cleaning up hinge mortises and ease edges.
I have a hard time sanding wood, let alone working it, but I get a kick out of seeing these sort of specialized tools.

And to begin with, it seems to be just what they both needed. But then Oona, the elephant Will is riding on the beach, begins acting strangely, shying away from the sea. And that's when the tsunami comes crashing in, and Oona begins to run. Except that when the tsunami is gone, Oona just keeps on running.
With nothing on his back but a shirt and nothing to sustain him but a bottle of water, Will must learn to survive deep in the jungle. Luckily, though, he's not completely alone...

BIRMINGHAM, England -- The National Exhibition Centre here was the setting for the biennial AVEX convention and trade show, sponsored by the Automatic Vending Association (Great Britain and Ireland) and the European Drinking Water Cooler Association (formerly European Point-of-Use Drinking Water Association).
AVA reports that the show was a sellout, with exhibitors from all over the world including first-time participants from Hungary, Italy, Korea, New Zealand, Spain and the United States.
Birmingham, which hosted the show for the second time in mid-June, proved popular with international visitors. The NEC is adjacent to Birmingham Airport, and some participants were able to fly in and out on the same day.
The show organizer congratulated the exhibitors on the quality of their displays, and frugality. "They used creativity and imagination rather than large budgets to achieve great-looking stands," AVA reported. Shoulder massages for the weary, table games for the lively, tweets, prizes and competitions (including a simulated driving experience in a Formula One car) all contributed to the energetic atmosphere.
The industry continues to break new ground, the sponsors noted, and that was evident at the show. Eleanor Bane of Safer Systems said, "AVEX has been brilliant for our concept products. It's given us a showcase and is superb at bringing people to one spot, so together we can create best practice."
New technology has increased efficiency, AVA pointed out, and has boosted the industry's reputation; one manufacturer, for example, achieved a carbon-neutral stand. On display were machines with selection panels to rival the latest mobile phones, as well as gesture-recognition capabilities. Remote monitoring moved to a whole new level, the show's sponsors said.
EDWCA members also applauded the show. Hans Krohn of water cooler producer AA First summed up: "Excellent show, even better than last time."
Every element of the industry was represented, and the show attracted some new companies outside mainstream refreshment vending including purveyors of electronic cigarettes, an innovative recycling company and even suppliers of herbal products. The seminar program added to the variety, with several educational events drawing crowds.
A short video clip and review of the show is available on YouTube.
AVA is headquartered at 1 Villiers Court, 40 Upper Mulgrave Rd., Cheam, Surrey, SM2 7AJ, England, and is online at ava-vending.co.uk. EDWCA is based at Washoe, Brimpton Lane, Brimpton, Reading, Berkshire RG7 4TL, England, and maintains the former EPDWA website at epdwa.org. Both are members of the European Vending Association (Brussels).
The next AVEX will take place in 2013.
