Comments about Fagor EVO Concept High Temperature Undercounter Dishwasher - 30 Racks/Hr:
Shortly after it was installed it was shutting off randomly. There was a loose connection inside that had led to arcing and may have fried something. About 8 months later we are still calling trying to get someone to come out and fix it. They've replaced the pump and the face of the unit. It's no longer shutting off but is still not reaching temp. When we call for service, their notes often seem to not be updated and they refer to information from before the previous call. They do not follow up, so the problem was compounded when their locally contracted service technician did not return calls for over a month and then falsely reported that they had come and that the incoming water temp was not high enough. They seem very reluctant to back their guarantee. Fagor is still blaming the incoming water supply temp. Bottom line: the unit, and the customer support, are not trustworthy or dependable. Try something else
Comments about Fagor EVO Concept High Temperature Undercounter Dishwasher - 30 Racks/Hr:
This is a good unit, small footprint, very simple one button control. It works as advertised. In spite of the specs listed by Tundra, this unit can be run on many different power feeds by changing internal jumpers. It works on three and single phase power and high and low current. It should be wired to a high current feed or else the booster heatrer will only run on partial power and each cycle will take longer
Do you have questions about this product?
Get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Q:Does this unit need to be connected to a hot water line?
2 answers
A:The optimum incoming water temperature for this unit is between 120-140 F.
A:Yes, this needs connected to a hot water line.
Q:My health admin says any dishwasher has to be on casters. Are they available for this unit? The catch is it still has to be less than 34.5" tall.
2 answers
A:No, castors are not available for the dishwasher.
A:The Fagor - CO-502W does not come with casters as an option and I have not come across an undercounter dish machine that does. You may want to double check with you health admin as this appears to be an odd request.
Q:How do I drain the co-402w? I can't find a manual anywhere
1 answer
A:The Fagor - CO-502W includes a drain pump. From there I'm not sure what other info you are looking for. Here is a link to the manual and if you have further questions about this it would be best to contact Fagor directly...
Q:The manual says it's 208-230v. I have a 220v line, would that work?
1 answer
A:If the electrical is set up correctly the 230V should work with the 220V. I would talk with an electrician before you purchase this piece of equipment.
Q:Does there need to be a booster or a hood installed with this model?
1 answer
A:The Fagor - CO-502W does have an electric booster and whether or not you need a hood is up to your county or city regulations, but this should not need a hood.
Q:How many gallons per hour GPH does this unit use assuming you have washed the 30 racks/hr?
1 answer
A:This Fagor EVO Undercounter Dishwashing unit uses 0.63 Gallons per cycle. Assuming your 30 racks per hour; this would result in a total water consumption of 18.9 Gallons per hour.
Q:Does this dishwasher need to be pulled out every time the soap has to be refilled? Also will any non-foam soap do?
1 answer
A:The detergent is hooked up to a pump system, and this connection is in the back of the unit.
Q:Will you ship to Toronto, ON. Canada?
1 answer
A:Yes, we will. Use our live chat feature or give us a call at 888-388-6372 and we can put together a quote for you.
Q:Does this machine use rinse water for the next wash cycle? I only have 1/2" water supply line will that be adequate?
1 answer
A:Yes, this machine uses rinse water for the wash cycle. Yes, the 1/2" water supply line will be adequate.
Q:Does this absolutely need to go undercounter?
1 answer
A:Thanks for your question Paul.

Education And Human Resource Development In Post-Independent Eritrea – An Explanatory Note
Education is a lifelong process. Twentieth century has witnessed the miracles of Human Resource Development (HRD) activities reflected through increase in GNP and overall productive activities. The Government of Eritrea offering both formal and informal training programmes at different levels in order to develop the human resources. This prosperity in education is obviously a great thing for Eritrea, and the dream to make Eritrea a technological-oriented and advanced nation would become real, because the cumulative effort done so far in the human development is noteworthy. As Human Resource Development Programmes concentrate much on the category of major raw human resource to be processed into the work force and its role in reconstructing the economy. An attempt is made in this paper to analyse the educational and human resource development after independence. This paper also provides detailed account of technical and vocation education with special reference to skill development programme.

Post subject: Finding accommodations along the INT. Is that easy?
I plan to hike the INT solo starting at the northern most point the last week of March. I do not want to camp. Are there places to stay all along the route? What is the procedure each day for finding a place to stay after a day's walk? I know nothing.

You have a list of all sorts of accommodations on this forum. You need to contact the hostel, B&B
or whatever place you chose to stay in, and make a reservation. In the desert it is not possible to avoid camping out completely,
unless your budget allows for a pick up by a jeep by the end of the day to your B&B, hostel, etc. and return the next morning
to the same place to continue the hike.

Post subject: Accommadations
I recently walked the Camino de Santiago and there were hostels along the trail. Is it the same on the INT or are the hostels away from the trail? If so, how do you get from the trail to the lodging? Is finding lodging a challenge? I only plan to walk for two weeks, so I'm not concerned about the southern section. Do I need to carry a sleeping bag and mat?

Most hostels are within a reasonable hiking distance (1-2 km) from the trail, some of them are on the INT.
If the hostel is not close to the trail it is always accessible by bus or taxi ~10-20 minutes drive. Trail angels are mostly close to the trail - 2-3 km max.
I think that in all hostels you do not need a sleeping bag. If you plan on staying with trail angels you'll need it and a mat too.

I should add that not in all places there are hostels close to the trail - especially in its desert parts. So read carefully the list of B&B and hostels, use a map and plan accordingly.

Post subject: Meet In Dan?
Hi Charlie, I read your questions and I have about the same plan as you: starting in Dan, I'd like not to carry the tent, starting around the last week of march. Did you already look at the list of accomodations? Do you think it's possible and not too complicated without tent?
Thank you!
When are you starting? Maybe we could walk some days together.

Post subject: Start of hike
Miranda, I arrive at Ben Gurion airport on Sunday morning march 23rd and will catch a train or bus to Dan. Then I plan to get to Nimrod Fortress on Sunday afternoon March 23 and start walking. I do not have a feel for the availability of accommodations, I just know that I do not want to camp out. I am hoping there are b&b's, hostels, inns, trail angels or the like where one can stay. I am not bringing a sleeping bag or tent. I'll walk for about 12 days and see how far I can get on the INT. When so you plan to start?

Hi Charlie, sorry for the late answer, I was out for the w-e.
I'm still organizing because I'm not coming back and go for a big trip after Israel. I could take a flight saturday to Tel Aviv so we could meet and walk together for some days. I usually walk alone (I did also the Santiago trail from Lisbona) but this could be also a new experience if it would be ok for you, too. Maybe we can email out of the forum for details :
. Or talk in skype? you can find me at: miranda.sorgente (Italy)

That business writing should be centred on the reader's needs is not exactly earth-shattering news. But putting this maxim into practice is a different matter altogether.
Reader-centred writing
If you're like most people, you're much more likely to be focused on your own needs – such as impressing your manager or getting the task of writing a report off your to-do list – than on those of your audience. So you need to take definitive action to switch yourself out of this default position.
Nor is it enough to identify the areas of the subject that are going to be most useful to the reader(s). You also need to gauge their likely level of interest. And, of course, if they have very little interest in the subject, you will need to work extra hard to grab and keep their attention.
You can find out more about grabbing and keeping attention on our courses. But for now, you can download our free reader-profile questionnaire to help you focus on the needs of your audience.

Karelia (Finnish: Karjala; Russian: Карелия, Karyeliya), officially known as the Republic of Karelia, is a republic of the Soviet Union located in Northeastern Europe. The republic includes territory in Fennoscandia and includes coastlines on the Gulf of Finland, Lake Ladoga, Lake Onega, and the White Sea. Karelia is a unique area which has been influenced by both Finns and Russians for centuries, which continues to shape the region to this day.
The modern day republic gained it start following the Winter War in 1940, when the Soviet Union annexed territory from neighboring Finland. These territories were merged with East Karelia to form the short-lived Karelo-Finnish SSR. The hopes of spreading communism into the rest of Finland were unsuccessful, with the KFSSR being downgraded in 1956 as Fenno-Soviet relations were improving and much of the non-Russian population moved out of the region. As part of Glasnost and the Parade of Sovereignties, support grew for the re-establishment of Karelian sovereignty, which became a reality in 1995.
The history of the modern day Republic of Karelia dates back to the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. As part of the secretive Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin intended to annex all of Finland (which had been a part of the Russian Empire prior to the 1920s). The Finnish territories which were under Soviet occupation were organized into a pro-Soviet puppet state as preparation for the eventual conquest Finland. Soviet attempts to conquer all of Finland proved fruitless within months as Finish troops were able to defend most of their territory, with the Winter War coming to a formal end in March 1940. As part of the peace agreements, Finland was to cede much of its territory to the USSR.
Shortly after the peace process, the Soviet Union merged the new territories with the rest of Soviet Karelia and established a new republic of the USSR: the Karelo-Finnish SSR. Conflict with Finland continue as World War II soon made its way to the USSR. The beginning of the Cold War marked the end for the KFSSR as its continued existence as a union republic came under question. While intended to be a republic for Finns and Karelians, much of the Karelo-Finnish population fled the area following Soviet annexation, while ethnic Russians were being moved into the region. By the 1950s, Russians made up the vast majority of the republic's population, with some areas of the KFSSR (including the Karelian Isthmus) being transferred to Russia. The second nail in the coffin was improved relations between Finland and the USSR following rise of Nikita Khrushchev. Due to these issues, the KFSSR was reorganized into the Karelian ASSR in 1956 and was absorbed back into Russia.
It wouldn't be until the 1990s that the so-called "Karelia Question" re-emerges in both Finnish and Soviet policy. Under Mikhail Gorbachev's Glasnost policy, ethnic Finns and Karelians began to re-express their culture and history, which were mostly ignored prior. Within a few years, the Parade of Sovereignties makes its way to Karelia, with new pushes to re-establish the old Karelo-Finnish SSR. This movement also spread to neighboring Finland, which began to question the return of its ceded territories from the Winter War, though most Finns (including the government) were indifferent to regaining these territories. The president of Russia at the time, Boris Yeltsin, would eventually come out in favor of a Republic of Karelia and even offered to allow referendums to be held in the regions which once belonged to the KFSSR as a means to end the Karelia Question once and for all.
As part of the union-wide elections held in 1994, Karelia and portions of Russia voted on whether to secede and become a new republic of the Soviet Union. The vast majority of the Karelian ASSR voted to become a republic, with the former territories in the Leningrad Oblast and the Murmansk Oblast being split but favoring their inclusion in Karelia. The Republic of Karelia would officially become admitted as a union republic the following year, becoming the first new republic to have a Russian majority. The new government of Karelia favored co-operation with Finland and began to brand itself as "new frontier" for Finnish and European business. Much of the exiled communities began to return to the region, as well as a new generation of non-Karelian Finns looking to take part in the economic growth of the republic and the USSR. The late 1990s would see the expansion of all things Finnish and Karelian within the republic. The capital was relocated from Petrozavodsk to Olonets — a more central city which had a Karelian majority population. Finnish was made an official language of the republic, with Karelian being regarded as a regional dialect.
As of the the 2009 census, ethnic Russians make up the majority of Karelia's population, while ethnic Finns (including Ingrians, Karelians, and Votes) make up over a third of the population. Belarusians, Udmurts, Ukrainians, and Veps are the largest minorities within the republic. The majority of Karelians declared Russian as either their first or second language. In recent decades, Finnish has grown in understanding, though remains the largest minority language. The majority of Karelians declared to be Irreligious or Atheist, with those adhering to the Eastern Orthodox Church (the largest church) making up about a quarter of the population, and Protestants making up a minority of the population.
The economy of Karelia is dominated by the wood processing industry, with much of the Soviet Union's paper companies being headquartered in the republic. The mining sector accounts for about a third of the republic's economy. In recent years, tourism has become a growing industry within Karelia, particularly among Finnish and Western tourists. Several border towns with Finland has become popular vacation areas. Keeping with the tradition of Karelia being the "Songlands" of Finnish culture, many music festivals are held within the republic (the largest of which are held anally in Kostomuksha).
In recent elections, the Republic of Karelia has been politically dominated by two political parties: the center-right to right-wing Democratic Party and the centrist to center-left Liberal Party.

According to the multi-layer ceramic capacitor market report key growth driver is the need for highly improved MLCCs in LED lighting. LED lighting is gaining momentum globally due to the growing need for power conservation, efficient lighting, and advanced lighting features. Initially, ceramic capacitors were not favored by LED designers due to acoustic noise and flickering light. However, with advances in technology, vendors such as Murata are offering MLCCs with acoustic noise reduction and DC smoothing for LED applications. This has increased the integration of MLCCs in LED lighting.
The global multi-layer ceramic capacitor market analyst said a key trend influencing market growth is the miniaturization of electronic devices. The consumer electronics sector is the most prominent sector that drives the demand for miniaturized MLCCs. The demand not only pertains to the consumer electronics sector but also other sectors, such as military, industrial, and medical facilities, that require high reliability. This will drive the demand for robust, miniaturized MLCCs during the forecast period.

Global Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) Market 2016-2020, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
An MLCC is a monolithic device with laminated layers of ceramic dielectric materials, scattered with the metal electrode system. The layers are exposed to high temperature to make a sintered and efficient capacitance device. A conducive barrier system is integrated with the exposed ends of the chip to complete the linking.
MLCCs are categorized on the following bases:
- Rated voltage: The rated voltage can be between 4 volts and 10 kilovolts, with the most common being 16-volt, 25-volt, 50-volt, or 100-volt capacitors.
- Dielectric
- Tolerance
- Capacitance: The most common values for capacitance are 10 nanofarads, 100 nanofarads, and 1 microfarad.
- Case size or dimension
- Packaging type
Further, the report states that one challenge that could restrict market growth is flaws in the MLCC material functionalities. In certain conditions, a crack in the ceramic portion of an MLCC may cause difficulties. These difficulties result from mechanical harm caused by the soldering process to the printed circuit board, which normally occurs due to mishandling of the board or the exposure of the assembly unit to extreme environmental conditions.

Say Goodbye to front panel indexing
Today's advanced multifunction devices are designed to serve as on-ramps to a digital workflow for documents; the universe of solutions to make this happen goes far beyond the simple scan-to-email and scan-to-folder capabilities now standard on most models. The Ephesoft Multifunction device platform is not a client, but rather an integration framework focusing on enhancing multifunction devices scanning with automation, leveraging Ephesoft Transact intelligent document classification and extraction technology.
Through this approach users can scan a batch of documents, let the system split them (automatically – no bar code pages) and have required indexing information be recognized from these mixed documents. Through this approach, documents will be available in the business process more quickly due to the proximity of Multifunction devices to the business user.

Give to the #IDBE Campaign,
Sponsor someone's chance to be!
Getting an ID can help people take crucial first steps towards self-sufficiency. Without it, you can't get food assistance, apply for a job or housing, secure healthcare, enroll kids in school, visit a sick child in the hospital, get a library card, or even vote.
Recently a man came to RS who desperately wanted to work but didn't have the ID required to complete a job application. He had so much he wanted to be … but without his ID he was trapped. He had been living out of his car, trying to start over again. But when his car was stolen so was nearly everything he owned, including his ID.
An ID may only cost around $10, but the catch-22 is that most of our clients also need the required $15 birth certificate to get that ID. So, it can take $25 to get an ID. That's money many struggling to survive simply don't have.
This year RS launched the "I'D BE Campaign" and helped over 800 people secure IDs and take that first step towards self-sufficiency. Your generous gifts enabled caring RS staff to evaluate needs, work together with clients to navigate the complicated application process, secure needed documentation, and provide a voucher to pay for their IDs.
Join the I'D BE Campaign today and sponsor someone's chance to be ... employed, educated, housed, healthy, involved.

One of Italy's smallest regions, Molise offers a world of culture and flavors. Simplicity and joie de vivre: these are the main characteristics of Campobasso and its province, small centers of one of Italy's tiniest and still unknown regions: Molise. Nestled between Abruzzo, Apulia and Campania, it's a small emerald sparkling with natural beauty, from the seaside to the forests, from the Matese mountains to the countryside.
Its many archeological ruins testify to a past which finds its roots in the Samnites and in the reign of ancient Rome.
Such as those in Pietrabbondante and Sepino, the base of an archeological park complete with an ancient Roman theater which is still intact and surrounded by greenery, or those in Bojano, which rise up at the foot of the Biferno river and offer art lovers its beautiful churches, including the cathedral where the seven deadly sins are depicted, as well as the Sorgente di Pietre Cadute.
Closely connected with Bojano is the hamlet of Civita Superiore, a village with a population of around fifty, most of the inhabitants being elderly folks who remained to protect the old houses. A visit to this charming village is truly captivating. It's like walking through a distant past which has nothing in common with our modern, frenetic lifestyle. Testifying to this are three citizens over a hundred years old who are more than willing to tell visitors the history of these places, which were immortalized by Sergio Castelletto in his film "Don't Move" ("Non ti muovere").
Not far away, on the slopes of the Matese, we find Campochiaro, Molise's second largest town after Roccamandolfi in terms of hectares of forest land. Here, as in Capracotta (near the hermitage of St. Luke), and in the oases of Venafro and Guardiaregia, tourists who allow themselves to be taken away by the sweetness of the landscape can delve into untouched forests, mountains and cascades, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying sports such as skiing, rock climbing and hang-gliding in both summer and winter.
Yet Molise has even more to offer. There are numerous medieval villages. All of the 136 towns in the region have towers, castles, forts, and examples of sacred art in Romanic and Baroque style, such as those found in Matrice, San Felice del Molise and San Massimo.
Also worthy of a trip is Campobasso, Molise region's capital, where visitors can admire its cathedral, and Termoli, the luminous seaside port on the Adriatic which is the hometown of comics artist Benito Jacovitti.
Here, before setting sail for the beautiful Tremiti islands, one can stroll along the streets of the old village and enjoy delicious fish dishes at the restaurants Borgo, Da Noi Tre and Torre Sinarca.
As for accommodation, stay overnight in Capracotta, at the hotel by the same name, at the Eden in Campobasso or at Pleiadi's in Bojano, which also offers excellent cuisine.
In addition to natural and artistic beauty, tourists who choose Molise as their vacation destination may also have fun at the many local village festivals, such as the Carnevale Mardi Gras celebrations in Tufara and Rocchetta al Volturno, the Wheat Festival in Jelsi on St. Anna's day and the Mutton Festival in Capracotta, where one can enjoy the ancient flavors of the area's country-style cooking.
The area of Molise has a wide variety of genuine food and wine specialties, ranging from salumi such as smoked prosciutto from Spinete and Rionero Sannitico, mulette di Macchiagodenae, sausages and soppressate, pasta dishes, cavatelli served with lamb ragu', maccheroni alla chitarra, fusilli and polenta, nettle and cardoon soups, excellent cheeses and second courses made of grilled kid and lamb.
We suggest trying the buffalo mozzarella produced by the many local dairy farms, in particular those in Bojano and Venafro. As for wine, try the autochthonous DOC wines Biferno (available in white, rosè, red and riserva), Molise, Trebbiano and Aglianico, as well as the IGT wine Terre degli Osci.

I've Got It (Unreleased 12" Version)/ I've Got It
12" Vinyl Single Record
Product Details
- Aug 05, 2008
- Funk/ Jazz/ Soul
- 5036468212155
- 8.6 oz
- new (we only sell new items)
- Jazzman Records
- Art Polhemus
O.C. "Arthur Cleveland" Tolbert was also known as "The Miracle Man" and released several records, mostly for producer Jack Taylor and his myriad of labels. He also recorded a highly collectable funk LP 'Damn Sam the Miracle Man', though 'I Got It' can lay claim to the masterpiece he recorded in 1982 after almost 30 years in the business. Lauded on the soul scene as a true gem that could single handedly define the term 'modern soul', 'I Got It' is a mid-tempo clubber that has recently approached anthemic status. The ultra-rare status of the original 45 means only a select few DJs such as Ian Wright and Soul Sam have been able to give it a play, and the four-figure price tag has been a stumbling block for many soul fans too. And now Jazzman Records is happy to announce that the official re-release is available to all. It's taken them three years to organise the release of 'I've Got It', including a special trip to NYC to meet songwriter Bill Mersey and collect the precious master tapes in person. Originally released only as a 7" single, this limited edition of 500 copies will set forth a stampede amongst the soul 7" collectors and DJs, and the 12" release will delight those who prefer their soul on big vinyl.

McDonalds Employee Fired for placing mixtapes in happy meals. Although it isn't a true story, the website that put out this story is pretty hilarious. Huzlers.com is a notorious satire website, but who doesn't like a funny story? In Chicago a teenage named Tyshaun Granger was reportedly fired from his job at McDonald's for placing his "mixtape" in children's happy meals. So instead of getting a happy meal toy, my kids will get some crappy mixtape? On the cover of his mixtapes was his title project; "Tales Of a Real Nigga" was printed on the discs with a sharpie marker.
One parent stated; "I bought my son a happy meal and inside came a mysterious CD" said Sarah Pratt, "I, like any other parent, would assume the CD was for children. I played the CD in my car for my son while we drove home and Lord Jesus have mercy on Tyshaun, the mixtape was dreadful. Not only was it completely inappropriate, but it was also the weakest set of bars I've ever heard!"finished Platt.
He has been placing CD's in children's happy meals for about 2 weeks now, and can be up to 300 meals. Tyshaun defended his actions by saying that his mixtape was "so hot", it would keep the happy meal warm for hours. Oddly, no parent before Platt has confronted Tyshaun or even bothered to speak to the McDonald's store manager about the mixtapes. Ever since Platt has confronted Tyshaun and a McDonald's manager on the mixtapes being replaced for a happy meal toy, Tyshaun has been fired.
Again, please keep in mind that this story is false and it did not happen.

The Great Pulp Fiction Mounties
"We want men, and we want men like you. You could enlist as a constable and there is always opportunity to advance."
"It's a great service!" exclaimed Cameron. "I'd like to join."
"Very well," said the Commissioner promptly, "we will take you. Inspector Dickson, Mr. Cameron wishes to join the Force. Will you administer the oath?"
"Cameron, stand up!" commanded the Inspector.
With a little thrill at his heart Cameron stood up, took the Bible in his hand and repeated after the Inspector the words of the oath:
"I, Allan Cameron, solemnly swear that I will faithfully, diligently, and impartially execute and perform the duties required of me as a member of the North-West Mounted Police Force, and will well and truly obey and perform all lawful orders and instructions which I shall receive as such, without fear, favour, or affection of or toward any person. So help me, God."
"Now then, Cameron, I congratulate you upon your new profession. The Inspector will see about your outfit and later you will receive instructions as to your duties. Meantime, take him along with you, Inspector, and get those horses."
Men were sorely needed at the Macleod post and the Commissioner had an eye that took in not only the lines of a man's figure but the qualities of his soul.
"That chap will make good, or I am greatly mistaken," he said as Cameron went off to select his uniform…
…And so Scotsman Allan Cameron donned his Red Serge uniform, becoming the First of the Great Pulp Fiction Mounties.
When Canadian Ralph Connor published CORPORAL CAMERON OF THE NORTH-WEST MOUNTED POLICE: A Tale of the MacLeod Trail in 1912 [1], he had already become one of the Four Founding Fathers of the Northwestern genre (also called Northerns), along with Jack London, Robert W Service and James Oliver Curwood.
Most Canadians today don't even know how popular the Northwestern once was.
So listen up, mon ami!
From the appearance of Jack London's THE SON OF THE WOLF: Tales of the Far North in 1900 and his THE CALL OF THE WILD in 1903, which gave much of the world its first exciting views of the Klondike Gold Rush and wild wolfdogs and desperate prospectors and lone Mounties — to 1958, when Sergeant William Preston, the Last of the Great Pulp Fiction Mountie heroes, mushed his sled dogs off into the Yukon wilderness one last time ("On, King! On, you huskies!") — the Northwestern was beloved worldwide in hardcover books, pulp fiction magazines, film, radio, Sunday comics, comic books and television.
It was well-known in the publishing industry that a "Mountie Cover" would boost the sales of adventure and romance pulp magazines, especially in the U.S. Titles from the family-targeted Adventure and Argosy Magazine to the wildly successful Western Story Magazine and Far West Stories featured brave members of the Canadian Mounted on their covers (and contents).
One of the most popular pulpwood magazines was North-West Stories, which was one of the longest lasting Pulps of them all, in continuous print for almost three decades. [2]
Going into the Nineteen Twenties, American author James Oliver Curwood dominated the best seller lists with titles like KAZAN THE WOLF DOG, NOMADS OF THE NORTH, STEELE OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED, THE RIVER'S END, THE VALLEY OF SILENT MEN, GOD'S COUNTRY AND THE WOMAN, A GENTLEMAN OF COURAGE and THE COUNTRY BEYOND. He outsold authors of the time like Zane Grey, Sinclair Lewis, Booth Tarkington, Rafael Sabatini, Edith Warton, Daphnie du Maurier and Willa Cather.
Dozens of the over three hundred Hollywood movies featuring Canadian Mounties were based on Curwood's revered novels and short stories, as well as the Canadian-made international box office smash Back To God's Country, starring Canadian actress Nell Shipman.
The first movie my parents took me to when we returned to Canada from Yorkshire was the glorious Technicolor SASKATCHEWAN, starring Alan Ladd [3] as North-West Mounted Police Sub-Inspector Thomas O'Rourke. Later on, I would learn that the film was essentially a B-Western story set in the Canadian Rockies, with little reference to real Canadian history, or geography, or even our mythology. But at the time, I didn't know that. Loved the movie!
As Pierre Berton wrote in HOLLYWOOD'S CANADA, "Were we actually glued to our seats when redcoated riders dashed past on the screen? Did our eyes mist up when the White Spirit called and the flawed hero hit the Lone Trail and the Beeg Trapper got Akim Tamiroff by the throat? You bet we did. We ALL did." [4]
Once we got a TV, I got to see a lot of the old Northwestern movies. Cecil B DeMille's North West Mounted Police — starring Preston Foster as Sgt Brett, as well as Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard — was shown often. And Errol Flynn's Northern Pursuit. And The Canadians, starring Robert Ryan. Pony Soldier, with Tyrone Power. Mrs Mike, starring Evelyn Keyes and Dick Powell. And, of course, Rose Marie…
My fave was The Wild North, with Wendell Corey as the real-life Constable Pedley and Stewart Granger as Jules Vincent, the madman (in the movie Granger's character was a trapper charged with murder) he must escort back to Fort Saskatchewan. Constable Pedley's three week trek through the winter storm-ravaged wilderness was a true classic Canadian story.
I learned later that the plot twist where Granger's character relents and brings the exhausted, near-insane Mountie back to civilization didn't really happen. Albert Pedley actually got his man back safely, although it took him six months to recover from the ordeal. There was a reason the Mounties called those epic thousand mile dogsled patrols "Lunatic Patrols" — a regular item they packed on the sleds was a strait jacket.
But the plot change allowed Hollywood to play around with Canadian iconic storylines. Besides a midwinter scene where a savage wolf pack attacks the men and their dog team, they got to add a wild springtime canoe trip through surging whitewater rapids.
And the books?
Jack London's novels and collections were readily available. I had copies of THE CALL OF THE WILD and WHITE FANG, and they're still being reprinted today.
And, back in the day, what Canadian kid didn't know Robert W Service's most popular ballads? Clancy of the Mounted Police. The Shooting of Dan McGrew. The Cremation of Sam McGee. "There are strange things done in the Midnight Sun…" [5]
But Conner, Curwood, George Marsh, Victor Rouseau, Ridgewell Cullum, James B Hendryx, William Byron Mowery, H A Cody, Samuel Alexander White — writers I'd never heard about until older folk, learning that "young Brian who lives down the road" loved wilderness writers like Grey Owl and Sir Charles G D Roberts and Ernest Thompson Seton, would freely give me treasured old hardcovers (usually faded blue or red covers without dust jackets, but with wonderful pen and ink illustrations inside, or even "scenes from the photoplay" — black and white photos from long-ago silent movies) — and I read and kept 'em all!
There was a time when these writers lived on bookshelves throughout our beloved Dominion of Canada.
And what a mythical time it must have been.
In more whimsical moments I still dream of the return of the Pulp Fiction Mounties…

Artwork of the September, 1931, North-West Stories cover above is by H C Murphy (Henry Cruse Murphy, Jr, 1886-1931), a popular magazine artist from Brooklyn, NY, who appeared in most of the top pulp magazines of the 20's. Murphy's most famous cover is the September, 1929, issue of Black Mask, featuring Dash Hammett's THE MALTESE FALCON.
His Mountie painting for this issue of North-West Stories was one of his last. At his best, H C Murphy captured real character and emotion in his illustrations — another example: Action Stories, December, 1924, left.
And this North-West Stories issue's featured writer was Dex Volney, pen name of Volney G Mathison (1897-1965). Mathison was an American inventor and chiropractor who wrote early science fiction and books about past-life recall and self-hypnosis. Under the pseudonym Dex Volney, he wrote a number of well-received Northwesterns, besides "Land of the Lawless" some others were "Eagle of the North," "Klondike Cache," and "Pirates of the Snows."
[1] Allan Cameron would return two years later in Connor's best selling Mounted Police novel THE PATROL OF THE SUN DANCE TRAIL.
"Ralph Connor" was the pen name of Rev. Charles William Gordon. As Ralph Connor, he had already had international best sellers with BLACK ROCK (1897) and THE SKY PILOT (1899), based on his experiences in the Rocky Mountain area as a minister, and THE MAN FROM GLENGARRY (1901), a classic story of the Canadian North Woods and the wild, rowdy men who lived there. Each book had sold over a million copies.
In his novels, Connor would create the great Canadian archetypal characters and mythic story lines that other novelists, pulp writers and Hollywood screenwriters would mine for decades.
A believer of Muscular Christianity, his fictional works told stories of strong, red-blooded men and women who thrived in the untamed wilderness. Jack London said of Connor: "It's hard to believe the impact this man had at one point."
In 1921, Canadian independent film producer Ernest Shipman released a rousing silver screen version of CORPORAL CAMERON OF THE NORTH-WEST MOUNTED POLICE entitled Cameron of the Royal Mounted. The film quickly became one of the top moneymaking movies of that year worldwide, drawing long line-ups of excited film-goers in every town and city throughout the Dominion — and beyond… Shipman had already established himself with a series of popular wilderness motion pictures starring his wife Nell. To read more, go to "Canuck Movies: Mounties, Nell Shipman & the Canadian Spirit"
[2] To quote Bill Pronzini and Martin H Greenberg, "So popular were Northerns in the years prior to World War II that entire pulp magazines such as North-West Stories (later North-West Romances), Real Northwest Stories, and Complete Northwest Novel were devoted exclusively or almost exclusively to 'vigorous, tingling epics of the great Snow frontier.'" – Introduction to THE NORTHERNERS: Rough-and-Tumble Tales of High Adventure from the Frontier Days of the Canadian Northland, 1990, Fawcett Gold Medal, New York. Of the ten popular writers of Northwestern pulp fiction collected in this anthology, only one, Samuel Alexander White, was really Canadian.
Just as only one of the twelve writers reprinted in Don Hutchison's SCARLET RIDERS: Pulp Fiction Tales of The Mounties — Harold F Cruickshank — was Canadian.
As Hutchinson wrote in his Introduction about the real history of the early NWMP: "In bringing Law and Order to the Vast Lone Land their assignment was not to subdue the Indians but to eliminate the depredations of unscrupulous whites. Operating with moral rather than physical force, Mountie guts and Mountie justice tamed the wild plains, earned the respect of native tribes and effectively prevented annexation of Canada's western lands…"
That's how a few good men — 275 men — brought the Canadian Law to a region the size of Europe.
Trouble was, by the 1930's, New York editors and Hollywood producers didn't want real Canadian history any more. They didn't want Superintendent James Walsh, with one other Mountie and a Metis interpreter, facing Sitting Bull and his hundreds of warriors after the Little Bighorn and telling the Lakota leader that his people would be accepted as refugees in Canada — as long as they "kept the Queen's Law." And for some reason Sitting Bull and the Sioux did obey that handful of Mounties. No — New York and Hollywood wanted Wild West shoot-outs.
In real life, Mounted Policemen rarely drew their weapons. If they did, they had to justify the action to their commanding officer. "Weapon fired" required a detailed explanation for each shell expended. Mountie recruits spent long hours facing the Boxing Master in the Depot Ring, bare knuckled. While fictional Mounties were shown almost always with revolver in hand, real life officers solved most problems the Canadian Way: with a calm smile — or a solid right hook. Your choice.

[4] Pierre Berton, HOLLYWOOD'S CANADA: The Americanization of Our National Image, published in 1975 by McClelland and Stewart Limited, Toronto
[5] What red-blooded Canadian boy didn't once know the taut, emotional ending of Service's Clancy of the Mounted Police?
"Far down the trail they saw him, and his hands they were blanched like bone; his face was a blackened horror, from his eyelids the salt rheum ran; his feet he was lifting strangely, as if they were made of stone, but safe in his arms and sleeping he carried the crazy man.
"So Clancy got into the Barracks, and the boys made rather a scene; and the O. C. called him a hero, and was nice as a man could be; but Clancy gazed down his trousers at the place where his toes had been, and then he howled like a husky, and sang in a shaky key."
And I was really captured by Service's The Men That Don't Fit In. "There's a race of men that don't fit in, a race that can't stay still; so they break the hearts of kith and kin, and they roam the world at will."
And now? "Who is Robert W Service, say Canadian kids today; there's nothing about him on Netflix — oh, he was only a Canadian, eh?"

EA promised that we'd hear more about Medal of Honor: Warfighter during GDC, and boy did they deliver. New story details have been released – as well as confirmation that the game uses the Frostbite 2 Engine.
Unlike older titles in the series, Medal of Honor: Warfighter will take place during a fictional conflict, as the game's famous Tier 1 Operators will have to stop the global circulation of an explosive known as PETN. The game will not be tied to one location, players will visit areas such as Somalia and the Philippines.
To make things even more interesting, the story will reportedly have plenty of ties to real world events.
"We're going global. We've opened it up. The distribution network of this nasty shit spans the globe. Everything in this game. Every mission, every event, every location that we go to has a dotted line to something that has happened… When gamers go online and google these locations, they're going to find a whole host of bad things that happened to good people."
It can also be confirmed now that the game will make use of the Frostbite 2 engine, the one that powered Battlefield 3 and may be used for Dead Space 3. The engine will bring plenty to the game, including small scale destruction and some stunning visuals – which you probably caught a glimpse of in the Medal of Honor: Warfighter teaser. Unfortunately, for console gamers, this means that there will be huge visual differences between the PC and Xbox 360/PS3 versions of the game.
The teaser trailer certainly made the title appear really polished, though with one criticism: the game looked eerily similar to DICE's shooter. Danger Close however, doesn't think the games will look as similar as we believe.
"I don't think the engine dictates on what it's gonna look like, we have a wonderful art director who has a very clear vision of the type of lens he wants to tell our story through. The tech is just a canvas, and that canvas is much larger than it's ever been before."
Stealth missions were arguably one of Medal of Honor's greatest strengths – certainly we all remember the "Neptune's Net" level – and thankfully they will once again be making their return come this October.
Warfighter is set to bring more changes as well, instead of always relying on squad mates to open doors, players will now be able to do so themselves, with a neat animation to boot. Players can choose from one of two actions – kicking a door in or tossing a flash/frag – and see a slow motion animation of their character performing the respective command.
If this sounds like a huge improvement over 2010's shooter that may be because Warfighter wasn't originally going to be a Medal of Honor title. The game was supposed to be made separately, but the two teams later converged. The story originated from a journal written by two Tier 1 soldiers about issues they had while deployed. In order to show respect to the soldiers, those involved with the project have definitely altered events for the game – probably why we won't see an Osama level. Really though, an Osama based level does seem a bit gratuitous, and giving the soldiers this much creative power should lend to the game's attempt at authenticity.
At this point, it sounds like one would be hard pressed to say Medal of Honor: Warfighter doesn't sound promising. With a more cohesive development this time around, it sounds like Danger Close will be able to craft something special. Hopefully they'll start with some character development.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter will release October 23rd, 2012 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Mrs. Loring's 2nd Grade News
October 10, 2014
The End of the Quarter
It's hard to believe that the first quarter of school is already over. The last two months have been filled with lots of learning, fun, and excitement in second grade. With the end of the quarter comes many things. Next Friday, grade cards will be sent home with your student, parent teacher conferences will be held at the end of the month, and next week we'll get the opportunity to celebrate some of our successes throughout the quarter. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's performance throughout the first quarter and to see what the rest of the year has in store!
Number Words
This week in math, we began learning about "number words." Number words are the written words that correlate to a number. For example, "eighteen." We practiced spelling these words correctly and correlating number words with written numbers. We also have been practicing identifying how many tens and ones a number has. For example, 32 has 3 tens and 2 ones. These are important skills that can easily be practiced at home. Correctly spelled number words and an understanding of place value are skills that will be built upon throughout the upcoming months in second grade.
Fall Festival
Our Line Creek Fall Festival will be held on Friday, October 24th at 2:00pm. A short parade will begin at 1:40 on the blacktop path, weather permitting. Simple costumes may be worn or brought to school on this day. Student costumes must be age-appropriate, contain NO blood, gore, weapons, or weapon-like accessories. NO masks may be worn to school, worn during the school day, or worn during the fall party. Costumes cannot interfere with students' ability to participate in regular school day activities. We ask that adults attending the fall festival who wish to dress up follow the student costumes guidelines too.
Upcoming Events
Monday, October 13th- No School (Teacher Work Day)
Friday, October 17th 5:30-7:30- LC Skating Party at River Roll
Friday, October 24th 2:00- Fall Festival
Wednesday, October 29th & Thursday, October 30th- Parent Teacher Conferences
Thursday, October 30th and Friday, October 31st- No School

Over the past couple of months, the defense lawyer Joseph Tacopina has found himself an object of scorn among women's groups, advocates for sexual assault victims and others.
Mr. Tacopina defended a police officer accused of raping a drunken woman while his partner stood guard. Detractors said Mr. Tacopina had attacked the accuser's credibility and furthered a defense for his client, Officer Kenneth Moreno, that was implausible.
But nearly a year to the day before Mr. Moreno was acquitted of rape last month, Mr. Tacopina was wrapping up a trial in which he was on the opposite side of a similar case.
In a civil trial last year in New Jersey, Mr. Tacopina won $760,000 for a woman who charged that two police officers of the NJ Transit Police Department had raped her while she was drunk.
"It was ironic," Mr. Tacopina said. "I can't think of any other time in my life where two women were claiming they were drunk and raped by cops. I believed in both cases I was on the side of justice."Continue reading the main story
Although Mr. Tacopina may have gotten favorable verdicts for his clients in both cases, his toughest test may be ahead in Mr. Moreno's case. Mr. Moreno and his patrol partner, Franklin Mata, were convicted of misdemeanor counts of official misconduct; they were fired by the Police Department and each of them could receive up to two years in prison.
Justice Gregory Carro is to sentence the men in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday. Mr. Tacopina's job is to persuade the judge to be lenient, despite considerable public outrage over the verdicts.
The National Organization for Women has set up an online petition asking Justice Carro to give Mr. Moreno and Mr. Mata the maximum sentence. The organization has also planned a rally near the courthouse on Tuesday morning.
Mr. Tacopina's involvement on opposite sides in the two cases highlights a larger dichotomy in his career: his willingness to take on a variety of clients has made him friends and enemies.
In addition to representing Mr. Moreno, Mr. Tacopina had another recent case that put him at odds with women's advocates: He defended State Senator Hiram Monserrate in 2009 on charges that he sliced his companion's face with a piece of glass. Mr. Monserrate was acquitted of the most serious felony assault charges he faced, but was convicted of misdemeanor assault.
In that case, the National Organization for Women also lobbied the judge to give Mr. Monserrate the maximum sentence, a year in jail. Instead, Mr. Monserrate, who was expelled from the Senate, was put on probation and ordered to perform community service.
But Mr. Tacopina has also taken on cases that women's rights advocates would most likely support. Aside from the woman in New Jersey, he has represented the families of Imette St. Guillen, who was raped and killed by a SoHo bar bouncer, and Annie Le, a Yale graduate student who was killed by a lab technician shortly before she was to be married.
"I would like to be inside his mind for a minute to know how he works it out," said Sonia Ossorio, executive director of the New York City branch of the National Organization for Women. "Maybe he has a clinical approach to it."
Ms. Le's mother, Vivian, said she was not fazed by the criticism of Mr. Tacopina, who advised the family during the criminal proceedings and will probably handle civil action as well.
"Whatever some people say bad about him, I don't care because what I see and I hear, I see in my eye, he's taking care of my daughter's case good," Vivian Le said. "He listened to my story and he made me feel comfortable when I talked to him about my daughter."
Mr. Moreno was accused of raping a drunken woman after being called to help her into her East Village apartment building. He returned to the woman's building three times with Mr. Mata after helping her in, but said he was only counseling her on drinking and that they never had sex.
In the New Jersey case, a woman who had gotten drunk in Manhattan in July 2006 took a PATH Train to Jersey City and told three Port Authority police officers that she needed help finding her car at Liberty State Park. Two of the officers, Gabriel Mantilla and Lennard Ryner, met her at the park, according to a civil complaint.
At the park, the woman said she wanted to sleep in her car because she was too intoxicated to drive, but Mr. Mantilla and Mr. Ryner told her that she could not and asked her to follow them in her car to a safe location. The officers led the woman to a remote, wooded area off the New Jersey Turnpike and told her that she would be arrested for drunken driving if she did not comply with their demands, the complaint said. They then raped her, according to the complaint.
Rape charges against Mr. Mantilla and Mr. Ryner were dropped, but they pleaded guilty to official misconduct and were each sentenced to three years in prison.
In the civil case, the officers argued that the sex was consensual. The jury awarded the woman $760,000.
The New Jersey case informed some of his strategy in the Moreno case, Mr. Tacopina said.
When his client in the New Jersey case was testifying, Mr. Tacopina said, she broke down several times and had to take breaks, and he feared that her emotions were overshadowing the substance of her testimony.
"I learned from the first case that you have to be able to sort of separate the emotions from the facts and make sure that you don't rely on emotions to carry the day," he said.
Before accepting Mr. Moreno as a client, Mr. Tacopina said, he made sure his client in the New Jersey case was comfortable with it.
Some found it hypocritical that he questioned the motives of Mr. Moreno's accuser because she had filed a lawsuit. But Mr. Tacopina maintained that he had never said it was inappropriate to sue. He said there were differences, however, because Mr. Moreno's accuser was suing for $57 million, while the woman in the New Jersey case sued for $5 million.
Anthony Pope, who represented one of the officers in the New Jersey case, said he was not surprised that Mr. Tacopina took on a case on the other side.
"That's what lawyers do," Mr. Pope said, adding that he, too, took cases on opposite sides of the courtroom, "if I like the facts of the case; if I like the client."
An article in some editions on Monday about Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer who successfully took opposing roles in two cases in which police officers were accused of raping women they had gone to assist, misidentified the agency for which the officers in the earlier case worked. It was the NJ Transit Police Department, not the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department.

What is New Student Orientation?
New Student Orientation (NSO) is an action-packed and informative program designed especially for incoming freshman students at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. NSO is required of all new freshmen. At this program, you can expect to meet many faculty and staff members, advisors, and fellow students who truly care about you and your success at the University. Students can also anticipate registering for their classes for the upcoming fall semester.
What is a Summer Meeting?
Summer Meetings are reserved for students who will begin taking classes during one (or both) of the summer semesters. These afternoon meetings will give the student a chance to get some basic information about the University, meet with an Academic Advisor and also register for their summer classes. Please remember, students attending a Summer Meeting will also need to attend a New Student Orientation. There is no cost for the Summer Meeting.
Can my family attend New Student Orientation with me?
Our New Student Orientation program actually has a coinciding program built into it especially for the families of new students to attend.
How is attending New Student Orientation different from attending Island Day?
Though a common misconception, Island Day and New Student Orientation are two completely separate programs. Island Day is Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's open-campus preview day, which takes place during various times throughout the Fall and Spring semesters and offers prospective students and their families a chance to visit the Island University, and learn about what all it takes to become an Islander. New Student Orientation is a required program for all incoming freshmen (students with less than 24 credit hours) who have been accepted to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and involves student advising and registration for classes. For incoming students, attending an Island Day program does not serve as a substitute for attending a New Student Orientation session. Failure to attend a New Student Orientation session will result in the inability to register for classes, so it is essential that you make the necessary preparations to attend.
When does New Student Orientation take place?
New Student Orientation is a two-day program. We offer 10 orientation sessions during June, July and August.
I am transferring credit hours from another college. Does this make me eligible to complete the Online Transfer Orientation?
Only those students who have graduated from high school, transferring with 24+ credit hours are eligible to complete the Online Transfer Orientation. Those students transferring with less than 24 credit hours are still classified as a college freshman, and thus are required to attend New Student Orientation.
PLEASE NOTE: For NSO purposes, AP and/or dual credit classes do not count towards transfer credit.
Is it possible for me to register for classes at the University without attending New Student
No, a hold is placed on all student accounts for incoming freshmen until they have completed a New Student Orientation session. Once a student has completed a NSO session, the hold is removed and the student will be eligible to register for classes.
What if the NSO session I want to register for is no longer available?
If the session you desired is no longer available for registration, you must choose an alternative session. To guarantee the availability of academic advisors, all New Student Orientation sessions are limited to a maximum participation of 250 students each. Once it has reached this capacity, a session will automatically close and will no longer be available for students to register to attend. Walk-ins will not be allowed to participate in the program without prior registration, and will need to re-schedule for a different session. This is why it is very important you register as soon as possible to ensure your participation at the session of your choice.
I have already made travel arrangements and the session I wanted to register for is no longer available. What do I do?
We strongly recommend that you do not make any travel arrangements until your registration for New Student Orientation has been confirmed. To guarantee the availability of academic advisors, all New Student Orientation sessions are limited to a maximum participation of 250 students each. Once it has reached this capacity, a session will automatically close and will no longer be available for students to register to attend. As a result of this cap on student participants, we are unable to accommodate those who have already made travel arrangements prior to registration. Walk-ins will not be allowed to participate in the program without prior registration, and will need to re-schedule for a different session.
Why am I having trouble registering for New Student Orientation online?
If at any point you experience difficulty in logging into our online registration system, or while registering in our registration system, it could be due to any of the following:
You have not been admitted to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi for the upcoming Summer or Fall 2017 semester(s).
The Office of Recruitment & Admissions does not currently have your TSI scores or exemptions on file. Not having your scores or exemptions on file will prevent you from registering for a New Student Orientation session.
Though we never anticipate problems with our registration system, occasionally the server may be temporarily down for updates. If you experience difficulty registering for New Student Orientation and are unable to determine a cause, please contact the Islander Welcome Center at 361.825.8687. You may also contact them by mail at email@example.com.
Can I register for and/or attend a NSO program without having my TSI scores or exemptions on file?
Students cannot register for New Student Orientation without having their TSI scores or exemptions on file with the Office of Recruitment & Admissions. The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state-legislated program that requires students to be assessed in the areas of reading, writing, and math prior to enrolling at a Texas public institution. The results of the TSI assessment are used to determine your placement in certain courses and overall readiness to enroll in collegiate-level coursework. Please consult the Office of Academic Testing at 361.825.2334 for more information on testing options.
Do I have to register ahead of time for a NSO session, or can I just show up?
A student must register for a New Student Orientation before they can attend. Walk-ins will not be allowed to participate in the program without prior registration, and will need to re-schedule for a different session.
How much does it cost to attend a New Student Orientation session?
The cost for attending New Student Orientation is $75 per student and $75 per guest. The fee covers the costs of staffing, publications, meals, and program materials. The following meals are provided as part of the orientation fee per students and guests: Day 1 meals (continental breakfast, lunch) and Day 2 (Mid-morning snack).
Do I need to send in my payment for New Student Orientation when I register?
Payment is required at the time of registration via Credit Card. If you do not pay at the time of registration, you will not be signed-up for any date and will need to register later. The New Student Orientation fee is NON REFUNDABLE.
Do I have to attend Day One and Day Two of New Student Orientation?
Yes, all students are required to attend both Day One and Day Two of New Student Orientation. Events taking place during Day One of New Student Orientation are not repeated on Day Two, or vice versa.
Where can I view a schedule of events for New Student Orientation?
You may view a tentative schedule of events by clicking on " Orientation schedule" located at the top left side of the webpage. A detailed schedule of events will be provided to you at New Student Orientation.
I have already registered for New Student Orientation. What happens now?
If you have already registered for New Student Orientation, we encourage you to visit our Enrollment Checklist page for further instruction and information.
Are on-campus accommodations available for students during New Student Orientation?
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is currently unable to provide overnight housing accommodations during the course of New Student Orientation. If students and their guests will require overnight accommodations, these arrangements will need to be made separately. To view a list of area hotels located in close proximity to the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi campus, please click here.
What materials do I need to take with me to New Student Orientation?
Please visit our Enrollment Checklist for more information on this and other important matters to address prior to attending a New Student Orientation session.
What sort of clothing attire do you recommend I wear to New Student Orientation?
For attending New Student Orientation, we would highly recommend wearing comfortable clothing and a pair of walking shoes, since there will be some light walking involved between various sessions throughout the day. We would also recommend bringing a light jacket, as the classrooms can get a bit chilly. And, though we are the Island University, the sun doesn't shine here all the time! Please be sure to pack an umbrella, just in case.
What do I do if I need special accommodations?
For individuals requesting accommodations due to a disability, please contact the Islander Welcome Center at 361.825.8687 or firstname.lastname@example.com at least 2 weeks prior to your scheduled orientation session. Please plan accordingly as the University does NOT provide any mobility assistance equipment.
Where do I park my vehicle?
All visitors coming onto campus are directed to park in the Bayside Parking Garage. Bayside Parking is a pay to park facility. The Length of the stay determines the fee. For more information, please visit. http://police.tamucc.edu/visitorParking.html
What if my question is not listed on this page?
If you are unable to find an answer to the questions you have on this page, please contact a representative with the Islander Welcome Center at 361.825.8687. You may also contact them by email at email@example.com .

IGN just released an article with a number of videos discussing the upcoming game and the release date for it, as well as Season 4 progress/Season 3 finale among other topics (but mainly about the game). It also includes interviews with Bryke as well as another with Janet Varney and Dave Faustino.
Some main points:
- "The Legend of Korra" will be released for the PSN and PC on Oct. 21 and for the Xbox LIVE Marketplace the next day. The game doesn't seem to be slated for release on the Wii U.
- Mike and Bryan mentioned in regards to the game that they were a lot more involved in the development of this game as opposed to the earlier ones. In addition as the series is much more established now than it was then, the attention to detail is much higher this time around (especially considering the series regulars will be voicing their characters for the game).
- There is a new pro-bending mode that will be unlocked once the game is beaten, and according to Robert Conkey (the producer of the game), the team managed to make it faithful to the rules established during LoK's first season.
- As for the series, Bryke discussed the dark depths of the recently-finished third season and how they processed going through with the certain deaths that took place. Mike mentioned that there weren't really any challenges from Nickelodeon about including the deaths with the exception of having to work around with the dialogue as opposed to blatantly stating explicitly what was done. Bryan mentioned that while he wished the show was still on the air, he acknowledged that A:TLA grew exponentially in popularity online after its initial airing and had no doubts the same thing would happen to LoK in the future.
- Regarding season 4, much of the work is finished; much of what they're working on now is post-production stuff and fine-tuning the animation. No word on a release date yet but presumably it would premiere sooner than the gap between seasons 2-3.
- Without getting too specific, they did say that while Zaheer would still be around as well as the Red Lotus, there is a new "big bad" for the upcoming season.
For everything else, view the article and watch the myriad videos on it.
