I received this via email recently:
The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is pleased to announce its new Digital Innovation Fellowship program, in support of digitally based research projects in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. These fellowships, created with the generous help of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, are intended to support an academic year dedicated to work on a major scholarly project of a digital character that advances humanistic studies and best exemplifies the integration of such research with use of computing, networking, and other information technology-based tools. The online application for the fellowship program is located at http://ofa.acls.org; applications must be completed by November 10, 2005 (decisions to be announced in late March 2006).
Don't you think that's amazing? They're providing enough money for up to 10 academics to spend a year on a major digital scholarly project. The ambition, and the recognition that this ought to produce major work, is admirable.
iVog Take 3
I've mentioned a research development grant I've received from the Apple University Development Fund to develop a plug in for iMovie. At the moment I'm struggling to find a computer science student at RMIT interested in doing this (in spite of the fact that you get a fully specced 15″ powerbook for a year) so if you have the abilities to build a plug in for iMovie, able to achieve what the project describes, drop us a line (adrian dot miles at rmit dot edu dot au) and perhaps a CV. If you're off campus, even off shore, there will be a very specific contract you'll be entering into (we're not sending a brand new powerbook – which does have to be returned at the end of a year (around June 2006) without some binding agreements!) but I'm seriously interested in hearing from you.
Quotidian Media
This semester I am working with students to explore video and audio blogging, networked interactive video, and what I'm increasingly thinking of as quotidian media. Quotidian media is media from, in, and about the everyday. It is the media of blogs, mobile phones, podcasting and video blogs. Its qualities are immediacy and the aesthetics of the everyday. This means grunge from low bit rates, domestic hardware (single chip cameras, video shot on digital still cameras or even mobile phones), poor lighting, little editing, and so on. Just as blogs are not that anxious about the odd typo, muffed gramma, and so on, so too with quotidian media. It is not about excellence where 'excellence' is only ever equated with 'professional standards'.
Quotidian media is from the everyday, about the everyday, embedded amongst the everyday. It is the media of the ordinary. Mass media is all about news as exception (which is yet another reason why they so often struggle to understand networked media such as blogs), blogs are celebrations of the ordinary. Popular network literacy – what you get when lots of non specialists can publish rich media on our networks – produces quotidian media.
Dijjer is a bit of client software that you can install that is a peer to peer system to help with the distribution of popular and/or large files. Had hoped to install it in our labs at RMIT but it uses a port that the firewall has blocked, so that's that. I had hoped it would get through, and that I could let students learn a bit about things like bittorrent and the new generation of peer to peer tools being developed.
Blogging Is…?
One of my current second year students makes two interesting points about blogging. She has nominated these for me to specifically read as a part of her assessment of her blog. The first, is about blogs augmenting knowledge, while the second uses a useful analogy to think about blog etiquette and style.
Recent Moments
Quick update. New PowerBook arrived. 1Gig RAM, 100Gb hard drive, extra VRAM, superdrive. Thought it would have the fancy lit k
How Often Should I Write In My Blog?
This is a common question from my students (all of whom are required to have blogs). A minimum number of posts for me would be 3 per week. That is posts in general, and not posts just about course content. By minimum I mean that would get you into the ballpark to actually pass the subject. Less than this, and you just haven't been blogging consistently enough. Now, more blog posts does not equal a higher mark, so that 12 per week does not equal a high distinction. This is to confuse quality with quantity (a common confusion).
(The reason for this is that 12 poor posts are always going to be 12 poor posts, just as when writing a 2000 word essay writing 4000 words does not translate into double the mark! This is why the assessment of your blogs is always based on you submitting posts that meet specific criteria, because it is the ability to use your blog well, and consistently so, that is important.)
Now, of this 3 a week minimum 2 of these should be related to your course. Any less than this and you really aren't using your blog to help you learn, all you're doing is using it to document something for me. This doesn't mean 2 posts each week about the lecture, the reading, or some theory. It means 2 posts a week that relate to your learning.
What it means to use your blog well means different things. It varies depending on the subject you're doing, and how you want to use your blog. It might mean using your blog to record various useful web resources you've found (remembering that del.icio.us and similar social bookmarking sites are also useful in this context), it could also include using your blog to document (note, discuss, think out loud about) problems you encounter, things you learn, hard bits that you know you really should think more about, good bits that excite you. It will also include just using your blog for you.
Assessment Matrices
Over the last few years, as part of my Process Based Learning efforts, I've tried to make assessment criteria very explicit. The problem with this is that since I'm into assessing process it is quite hard to make this explicit. After all, I'm not saying, if you get 10 out of 10 answers correct then you get this sort of of mark, I'm saying things like "I'm assessing the quality of your ideas in your blog, which is indicated by the depth and detail of the ideas you pursue in your blog". Sort of still begs the questions "what is depth?", or, "what constitutes detail?".
One way round this, and here blogs really are exemplary, is that the work is public and so students can (and do) pay a lot of attention to each others writing. In this way they do get a sense of the differences between each other's work, and they are also able to see differences in quality (indeed one of the good things that has happened is that some students now take this difference and comment on it).
Another way is to describe these criteria in the assessment matrices that I provide. These usually describe in reasonable detail what qualities work within each mark range would exhibit, but again, for those students who don't understand what I mean by 'qualilty of ideas' this doesn't get us very far.
Now, in these assessment matrices (this years are available), I used to write up a background section which provided context for why this was being done and assessed. Sort of like turning the assessment document (you know, here's a list of essays, choose one and answer it in around 1500 words) into a brief. So, for this semester, I've dropped the background heading and have used 'assessment rationale' instead. Not sure why, or what difference it makes, but in this I want to make explicit why this task is being assessed, and why that matters. The point is to try and align assessment to learning outcomes as strongly as possible (if I'm assessing participation, then I need to be explicit about what constitutes participation, and why assessing that is useful to the student in the first place).
So the new heading, 'assessment rationale' is me explaining just why this is worth what it is, why it is justified in being assessed, and how this relates and is relevant to what students might learn. I guess the otherside to something like this is that it also means I can declare up front what is going on and why, so that there shouldn't be any mysteries as to what is being learnt, or why, in the subject. Probably useful in my teaching since I'm so all over the shop.
iVog, Takers?
In relation to the iVog project. At the moment I still don't have a computer science student willing to undertake this project. Not sure why not. After all, you get a brand new 15″ PowerBook for a year, developer software, and you can make some cool stuff.
So, if you reckon you have the skills to do this, and are seriously interested in getting a higher degree, let me know. If you aren't in Melbourne then yes, at some point you would have to spend a few months here (you would need to turn up to our Graduate Research Conference once a year, which for a Masters would probably be twice). And yes, if you aren't from Australia or New Zealand it would be fee paying.
A New Category
In the process of writing my promotion application I did note that a blog becomes your professional portfolio. Problem with that is I haven't got a category here that is 'teaching portfolio'. So I've added it.
(I thought about adding a Research Portfolio category too, but that made no sense, it's covered by a pile of the existing categories here and I do keep insisting – perhaps too loudly – that this is a research blog [stamps foot].)
iVog: iMovie Video Plugin Project
In collaboration with Dr Seyed Tahaghoghi of computer science here at RMIT I've been successful in getting an Apple University Development Fund development grant (now that's a silly title isn't it?). The aim of this is to develop a plugin for iMovie that will:
- compress your edited video to appropriate format (ideally a decent mp4 file)
- export this compressed video directly into your blog CMS
- allow text entry to accompany the blog post (including title of post)
- automatically allow selection of categories and the usual raft of additional things that blogs support (comments and trackback enabled, date and time of publishing)
- automatically extract a series of still frames to produce a micron (micro movie) for use as poster movie (say, 20 frames from throughout the video)
- make this micron autoplay when mouse in event occurs and load vlog clip when mouse click event occurs
Since we are using a senior student to build this our timeline is slow, we are currently recruiting a student capable and able to build this, and then the work has to fit their curriculum (in other words start and finish at the right time for them). I hope to have a beta with some capabilities available by the end of the year. The project is to be completed by June 2006.
Digital Humanities
Next year's Digital Humanities conference (the ACH/ALLC joint conference) is in Paris. Details available. The digital humanities dot org site is a new umbrella site reflecting a new umbrella organisation, The Alliance of Digital Humanities (ADHO). I'm an underperforming member of the Association of Computing Humanities, though what I do generally appears to be on the edges of most of the work these organisations do. They are serious set of computational philologists, and they're all happy to converse in (any of) English, French, German and, I suspect, Latin!
(I'm on their margins because there is a broad concentration on text here that often expresses the oldest, grandest, anxieties about images.)

Instead, we remarked about

We even might've tried
promising to do it again.

Microsoft is serious about open source: 10 proof points
Microsoft has come a long way in its acceptance of open source. And its motto doesn't seem to be (this time) to embrace and extinguish.
Microsoft is increasingly warming to open source. Not only is the company increasingly publishing open-source projects of its own, it's also developing major parts of its web/cloud infrastructure in the open and is also supporting a variety of external open-source projects. This is great news, but it's taken a long time and a considerable amount of hard work and damage-repair to make it happen.
Microsoft's stance on open source began to thaw during the 2000's as the company grew-up and learned more about open source and how it can significantly benefit all of us.
I thought it would be constructive to share examples that illustrate that Microsoft (and its ecosystem) are serious about mending fences, supporting external open-source projects and opening up development teams and projects. Here's my top 10 list:

Texas Football: What to Expect from QB David Ash in 2014August 28, 2014
The 2014 season is a chance for Texas quarterback David Ash to make up for 2013.
Ash entered last season with high expectations. He was named to multiple preseason watch lists and was poised to have a breakout junior year following the bumpy start of his college career.
But things took a turn when the Longhorns faced BYU on Sept. 7. Ash left the game in the fourth quarter after taking multiple, harrowing hits, which resulted in a concussion.
After sitting out the following week, Ash returned to the field in time to kick off Big 12 play, but his stay did not last long.
Ash suffered recurring concussion symptoms against Kansas State, and Texas fans did not see him under center for the rest of the season.
"It was hard," Ash said. "A concussion is something where nobody sees a cast, nobody really knows what is going on. It's a tough deal. But, that's past, and we are moving on to the future now."
Playing it Safe
The expectations for 2014 are nowhere near those of last season. But head coach Charlie Strong does expect Ash to protect his body and avoid contact as much as he can.
Strong put together a lowlight reel for all of his players. When he went through the film with his quarterback, he asked him what he was trying to prove in taking such hard hits.
"I don't need to see how tough you are. If you can outrun him, outrun him, but run out of bounds or slide or something. Just don't take a hit," Strong said of his conversation with Ash. "He took like three or four hits and I just stopped it and asked what he was trying to prove."
The redshirt junior has taken his coach's words to heart and plans on playing a smarter brand of football this season.
"He told me I have to get down. He's right. I have taken hits that were not necessary," Ash said of his talk with Strong. "Sometimes you are just trying to get that mojo going. But there are other ways rather than taking hits like that. He just made it clear that is not what I have to do or how I have to play. I'm going to start being smarter, doing a little baseball practice with sliding and getting out of bounds. I can't be taking those hits anymore."
Managing the New Offense
The Longhorns have installed a new offense under quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson and offensive coordinator Joe Wickline. There was an obvious learning curve when the team was first taught the offense, but Ash has done consistently well throughout fall camp and has the confidence of his position coach.
"In what we do and what we ask him to do, to be honest with you, he's been outstanding. He's been awesome," Watson said. "Everything is done through the eyes of the quarterback. David has allowed our whole team to move fast because he's moved so fast."
Watson said the ideal situation is to be balanced on offense, but nobody is expecting Ash to win games by himself. The Longhorns have potential for a solid ground attack between running backs Malcolm Brown and Johnathan Gray, which will take a lot of pressure off of Ash from trying to make too many plays on his own.
Strong has constantly said he doesn't need Ash to be a great player. What the coaches want to see is his ability to manage the game and get the offense in the right place to make plays.
"When you get a quarterback in a new offense, it's just how much he can press that offense and how much he's willing to learn and study," Strong said. "That's what he's been able to do, just learn the offense and study. I always tell him this, 'I don't need a great player, I just need you to manage and do what we ask you to do. I don't like to see the ball turned over.' He's been able to make the throws at practice, been able to get us in the right checks and get us in the right place."
Ash will likely experience some hiccups this season. When Texas takes the field against North Texas on Aug. 30, 342 days will have passed since Ash has seen contact. The concerns surrounding his frightening injury history will likely continue throughout the 2014 season, and a lot of Texas fans will cringe anytime he hits the ground.
But what's most important for the Longhorns, aside from his health, is for Ash to be the game manager his coaches expect him to be.
As Ash told Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods.com (subscription required):
You have to manage the game. You have to be a general on the field. You have to be a coach on the field. You have to distribute the ball. You have to give your team the right play. You have to know when to take risks and when not to. Does that sell my talent short? No. I feel like I'm very talented at managing football games. That's why I play quarterback.
One area his teammates have commended Ash for is his increased leadership role. The quarterback has previously been labeled as a shy person who would not speak up in the huddle. He is also a man of few words in media settings.
But Ash has taken notice of the way great quarterbacks lead their teams and plans to do the same for the Longhorns. As he told Richardson:
Leadership, a large part of it is your teammates believing in you, but that belief they have in you comes in you showing up and making plays consistently in practice, and not rolling over in game situations. That's the reason you believe in most of the great quarterbacks you see because you see them execute. You see them execute in tough situations. You see Tom Brady execute consistently. His teammates believe in him. You see Aaron Rodgers execute consistently so his teammates believe in him.
It's all about your actions, and I think that's what shows up. Great play comes from great preparation. Great play comes from team effort. Great play comes from coaching. There's a lot of things that go into that, but that team togetherness and unity comes when we all believe in each other, we're all going to do our jobs, and it's all going to pay off. That's how good team ball works.
Comparing his style of play to Rodgers and Brady is a bit of a stretch, considering they are two of the most consistent and reliable quarterbacks in the NFL.
Ash's career has seen a lot of ups and downs. When he was up, he played very well. When he was down, it was the complete opposite.
Consistency is something Ash will need to prove early this season, especially since Texas will face three preseason AP Top 10 teams in its first six games.
But one thing nobody can question is the quarterback's determination.
There are a lot of people who would have considered giving up football after going through what he experienced in 2013.
For Ash, quitting was never an option.
He believes he is meant to be on the football field and is determined to prove that to his team and to all of his critics.
"He really wants to be a great player," Watson said. "I think he has unsettled affairs after the kind of year he went through last year. I respect that. He has worked really hard and has played very efficient football."
He obviously has the drive to be a great player, but only time will tell if he can show that greatness on a consistent basis.
His coaches have praised his work over the last eight months. Now is the time for him to prove it.
Unless otherwise noted, all quotes were obtained firsthand.

text: When I bought my house a few years ago the guy I bought it from threw in a trailer that he had made in his welding shop. It is made like a tank, has wooden sides all the way around that can be removed, has a hand crank/pump that allows it to dump, and has two nice size tool boxes on the front. It is rather small at around 51" wide (can handle a 48" wb) and 7'-8' long in the bed. The problem is, is that it is not road ready and to do so would cost $1800.00. (axle for brakes, fenders, lights etc.) The guy doing the work suggested that I look at buying a new dump trailer which would be 7'x 10' with electric lift. The cost there would be $3800.00. Not quite sure what to do, any suggestions. Do any of you use a dump trailer to haul your mowers?

South Bend, Indiana (PressExposure) January 20, 2012 -- Blackjack authority Ace Ten has made a list of the most earning blackjack players of 2011 and the man on top of the list was Don Johnson. Johnson won a huge amount of money, over $15.1 million, from three different Atlantic City casinos last summer.
The world's leading black site added that Johnson won an extra $2 million last month, when he decided to pay one of the three casinos, Tropicana Casino, another visit. He showed once again that he was not just an amateur that got lucky. He put his grand total at $171 million and he put the casino in misery again.
Johnson said in a reaction that his goal was to bring down all Atlantic Casinos and show people that the Atlantic City Assassin was no man to mess with. He said he was certain he'd be back sometime soon, so he recommended everyone to keep an eye on blackjack news. Johnson appeared to be very confident, but that's quite normal when you with over $17 million in a year playing blackjack.
Johnson's winning adventure started in December 2010, when he beat Tropicana Casino, Borgata Casino and Tropicana Casino for a grand total of $15.1 million. Including the $2 million he won in October 2011 the grand total is $17.1 million.
Meanwhile, Jonson's success has made people start a discussion on whether high stakes blackjack is actually a good thing for casinos. Since all Atlantic Casinos offer high stakes blackjack, their short term risk of losing money is higher than that of normal casinos. All casinos make use of a long term strategy, i.e. the house odds are better but not that much better. If you play a few games, you might win them all. If you play thousands of games it's highly unlikely you will win more than the casino. In high stakes games, this is a bit more dangerous though.
Because the volume of games is lower, it's harder for casinos to get to play a very high number of hands and thus they can't make sure they win. Many people believe the casinos are taking a huge risk, so players like Johnson have a good chance to win money if they hit a lucky streak.
Blackjack experts at Ace Ten think it's not a problem though; the casinos should have enough reserves to cover the losses. And if they do, it's just a matter of time. In the long run enough games will be played and statistics should be on their side, unless someone has truly managed to beat the system.

I am leaning against it being over fertilizing just based off of the photos because the turf does not appear that it is really dark green for a SA variety but maybe it is just the photo. Also if it was just a case of a little fert being over applied in those areas I would think the areas which have not declined, well the areas right outside of the declined areas would be super dark and thicker because of the excess nutrient super charging it. Another sign I would assume would be there would be GLS on the leaf blades because over fert, over water and our environment usually lends itself to GLS from my experiences. Les a couple of questions - 1. are you familiar in scouting for chinch bugs and if you are have you looked in the green areas right outside of the declined areas for them? 2. I know it is obvious but have you check your irrigation system to ensure it is operating properly and heads are not clogged/or rotating properly to give good coverage.

Delhi, India (PressExposure) December 31, 2013 -- Intugine Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a startup founded by students at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP) has announced pre-order bookings for their unique gesture and motion controlling device, "Nimble". It's for the first time in the world, that a technology can accurately track finger movements over a distance of 15 ft
Nimble is a revolutionary PC control device that works on hand gestures and uses motion sensing technology to access applications, play games, paint & draw and even write using their hands in the air! Shaped like a ring, it fits snugly on your fingers. It is Nimble that communicates the motion to the sensor. This information is then transferred to the computer. The proprietary software analyses the information and uses it to control the computer. It uses a specially developed USB sensor that allows up to 15 feet of distance for accurate gesture controls. Just plug in this sensor in your PC and use Nimble to control your computers
Intugine Technologies is a fascinating example of the latest trend in India towards product based companies. It is unique in that its founders are still undergraduate students.
"We were fascinated by the thought of physically interacting and shaping the world inside computers. Driven by the entrepreneurial zeal to do something amazing, we developed a very powerful motion sensing technology. It delivers the experience that we wanted. It is highly responsive and accurate to write and paint in the air. At the same time, working over 15 ft, and supporting multiple players, it brings a new magic in gaming experience. It's reliable and stable enough to use in your Business presentations. In a way, it's a bit artistic, a bit corporate and a lot crazy. We wanted to share this experience with people. That's when we came together and turned this into a company." - said Harshit Shrivastava, Founder & CEO and a 3rd year student of Mechanical Engg at the college.
Comparison with similar products
The company claims to have unique advantages over existing products offering similar solutions. "No other product offers the accuracy and sensitivity over a distance from the computer (15 feet) that Nimble supports. We have filed for provisional Indian patents for the technology and are confident of taking the patents global later on" - added Mr. Abhishek Sharma, Lead, Business Development and a student of 3rd year mechanical engineering.
"The software is completely developed/written by us. It is highly optimized for smooth performance. The software actually analyses the user's motion and produces desired functions in computer. We have customized the product to interface with music players/ movie players/ Presentations/ Paint/ Online books and other applications using gestures. We have also customized it to control games like Counter Strike/ Angry Birds and Fruit ninja with hand gestures" said Mr. Harshit Srivastava.
"To make our interaction more natural and intuitive with Operating System like Windows, we are developing another layer of interaction which consists of more physical interfaces like rotating wheels (buttons) with fingers to change volume, pulling threads to pull your dashboard from above, make a cross to close any programme and flick your hand to switch between applications. Our software facilitates you to drag things physically with your hands and drop them even in other connected screens to transfer them," Harshit says.
Saurav Suman , a third year student of B.Tech who is a software developer at IntuGine adds that the device has some features that makes it user-centric like signature recognition. "We have written our own, entirely different gesture recognition application. User can feed his own unique gestures, like his signature or any other symbol to perform specific tasks like opening his Facebook account or open his favorite song," he added.
"We have come up with some major innovations in hardware in fitting all of the electronics into a tiny wearable ring that can communicate with sensor over a large working range of 15 ft. We have designed, prototyped the manufacturing sample and also managed to pack all the electronics within the body shape. Similarly, our sensor is a powerful device that is only a few inches in size and sits on your desk. To make it work with extra-large range without missing any of the minor details were the major challenges, which we have solved." - said Mr. Vivek Kumar, Sr. Manager, Hardware and a student of 3rd year electronics & communication engineering.
The company claims to have over 30 students involved in all aspects of the company - operations, software development, app development, social media management
Mrinal Rai, a third year BCom student at Delhi University's Sriram College of Commerce who handles operations says that the company is focused on affordable pricing keeping the Indian market in mind. "Our vision is to bring a new level of comfort, where you can control your devices, sitting anywhere in the room. Keeping developing countries like India in mind, we bring this unique experience at a very economical cost." he says.
The company has also developed its own special applications like virtual drum player, violin player and piano player that works with gesture actions. They claim to be developing simple gaming apps like a Harry Potter game where you can move your wand like a wizard.
Gesture actions to support push/pull, rotation to map physical actions are also planned.
Intugine Technologies is being mentored by two of the IIT KGP alumni - Mr. Arjun Malhotra, well known serial IT entrepreneur (co-founder of HCL, co-founder of HeadStrong) and Mr. Arvind Jha (co-founder of Movico Technologies & Pariksha Labs), who is known in startup ecosystem for his passion about technology & products. "It has been eye-opening to see the creativity and zeal in the Intugine team. They have grabbed the opportunity with both hands. I wish we had a similar ecosystem when I was a student. For most of my classmates, it was a scholarship for MS that was the target in 3rd year! Its great to see entrepreneurs emerge from my alma mater " - Mr. Jha stated.
Future plans
The team aims to make human-system interactions in the most effortless and intuitive way possible. They plan to make their device work in the domain of Smart TVs, home automation, Virtual Reality interaction and Gaming. "Presently we are targeting on PCs and gaming consoles, further we are also planning to enter smart TV and home automation," says Harshit.
Nimble device is available for pre-ordering from the company website and has been priced at a very reasonable Rs. 5499/- for initial orders. "We have a strong back log of students interested in the device and the pre-order will enable us to convert interest into revenue and force us to become customer-focused" - Harshit added.

A Theory of Advocates: Trading Advice for Inuence
An advocate for a special interest provides information to an uninformed planner for her to consider in making a sequence of important decisions. Although the advocate may have valuable information for the planner, it is is also known that the advocate is biased and will distort her advice if necessary to ináuence the plannerís decision. Each time she repeats the problem, however, the planner learns about the accuracy of the advocateís recommendation, mitigating some of the advocateís incentive to act in a self-serving manner. We propose a theory of advocacy to explain why planners do sometimes rely on information provided by advocates in making decisions. The interaction takes place in two stages, a cheap talk recommendation from the advocate, followed by decisions and learning by the planner. The theory predicts conditions under which an advocateís advice will be ignored and when it will ináuence a plannerís decision, when planners will prefer the advice of an advocate to the advice of a neutral adviser and, Önally, how an advocate gains ináuence with a decision maker by making his preferences for action unpredictable. Applications of our theory are used to explain why regulated enterprises are sometimes delegated authority to determine how they are monitored and why some consumers of Önancial services give Önancial advisors who beneÖt from their business such great latitude in managing their investments and Önances.

Heavenly Horse Haven
with Camille and Maximus
taken at Heavenly Horse Haven in Anza, Ca (our new home away from home)
Gina Perrin who runs the ranch - rescues horses and other animals and runs everything on the donations and generosity of others.
It is such a joy for me to be able to contribute something through the artwork - if only a little bit. I hope it helps bring some attention to these horses who are now looking for good and most importantly, loving, homes.
I also hope to bring you before and after pictures soon - giving you an idea of how neglected some of the animals have been - and how they look once Gina gets them to the ranch. The transformation that occurs -- and then to show you the after picture in the finished artwork.
Once we have enough pieces gathered - i will be offering them for sale -- where half of everything earned will go directly to the ranch and to the animals.
Gina will hopefully be making some merchandise as well so she can sell directly from her site in whatever capacity she would like.
Very nice work, great work with burning lights
A beautiful scene, I love the colors you used
soooo gorgeous
breathtaking glory, heavens have opened x
this piece is as beautiful as the story behind it..
sooo beautiful
Great vivid colors!

Michael Hashem has been hired as the next principal at Saugus High School.
Michael Hashem has been hired as the next principal at Saugus High School.
Superintendent of Schools Michael Tempesta announced his choice of Hashem during the July 18 School Committee meeting. Hashem previously served as the curriculum supervisor for mathematics, technology and engineering for the Saugus Public Schools.
Hashem, a veteran educator of 21 years at Saugus High School, thanked both Tempesta and the search committee for his selection.
"I'm thrilled to accept this position," said Hashem. "It's an honor as a Saugus High grad to serve in this role. Forty-one years ago, I walked into this school as a first-grader and this was my first-grade classroom."
Hashem replaces Jason Merrill, who served as acting principal when Joseph Diorio was placed on administrative leave in December. Merrill left the district to take a job as an administrator in Melrose while Diorio continues to work for the Saugus Public Schools in the Roby School Administration Building.
Now that he's principal, Hashem said he looks forward to working with the high school's excellent staff and students collaboratively and being their instructional leader. One of his goals is to promote student learning and an educational culture in the building.
The search committee that unanimously recommended Hashem was composed of administrators, staff members, faculty members and students. The committee made their choice from a pool of six candidates, three internal and three external.
School Committee member Arthur Grabowski said the appointment demonstrated the ability of the Saugus Public Schools to promote from within and noted Hashem's long history with the school system, stressing that he "bleeds Saugus red."
"It's great for the town of Saugus," said Grabowski. "I know you'll lead the high school in great new directions and provide that great leadership that they need down there. You have big shoes to move into, but I'm sure you're going to do it with the greatest success. I'm proud of you, and congratulations."
Tempesta said Hashem's contract as high school principal is still in the process of being drawn up.
"We're really, really fortunate to have him," Tempesta said. "I look forward to working with him closely."

This Companion is an accessible introduction to Schumann: his time, his temperament, his style and his Åuvre. An international team of scholars explores the cultural context, musical and poetic fabric, sources of inspiration and interpretative reach of key works from the Schumann repertoire ranging from his famous lieder and piano pieces to chamber, orchestral and dramatic works. Additional chapters address Schumann's presence in nineteenth- and twentieth-century composition and the fascinating reception history of his late works. Tables, illustrations, a detailed chronology and advice on further reading make it an ideally informative handbook for both the Schumann connoisseur and the music lover. An excellent textbook for the university student of courses on key composers of nineteenth-century Western Classical music, it is an invaluable guide for all who are interested in the thought, aesthetics and affective power of one of the most intriguing figures of a culturally rich and formative period.(ISBN 9780521789509)

Is It Time For Graduated Driver Licensing?
December 15, 1999
The accident rate for 16-year-old drivers is almost three times the rate of 18- and 19-year-olds. The main reason for their higher accident rate is inexperience, say safety experts. Thus private organizations, including the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a federal agency, are supporting the concept of Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL).
Some 16 states, including Florida and California, have established comprehensive GDL programs. Although specific requirements vary from state to state, under GDL programs teenage drivers proceed in stages over one to two years toward a full driver's license. The Insurance Institute recommends this program:
- For the first year, a novice driver must be supervised at all times by a licensed driver at least 21 years old and accumulate a minimum of 50 hours.
- If the novice passes another road test and has no moving violations, he proceeds to the second stage, where he may drive unsupervised -- except at night or with other teen passengers.
- If the teen driver has no moving violations or at-fault accidents, at age 18 he can take another road test to receive an unrestricted license.
According to the Insurance Institute, after the first year the Florida program became fully effective, the number of fatalites and injuries in accidents involving 15- to 17-year-olds dropped 9 percent. Night-time crashes were 17 percent below what otherwise would have been expected. Elsewhere, New Zealand reported a drop of seven percent in injuries among drivers int he 15 to 19 age bracket during the first nine years it had a GDL.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, my name is Koh'nan and this is my second singed guide. This one will be linked to my MOBAFire account so I can keep track of it a bit better.
Singed is my favorite, and most confident champion, so I decided to make a guide for him.
First I'd like to start off by saying, thank you for checking out my guide, and check out my profile for guides in the future! :)
Early Game
Starting with Flask, ward, and pots will give you great sustain and peace of mind that the enemy jungler isn't going to pop his head out of that bush and murder you.
Once you've farmed up 700G, recall and buy your Tear of The goddess, and teleport back into lane on that ward you placed, or on a minion.
By this time you should be about level 6, it is now safe to farm behind enemy lines.
Get yourself 1.2k Gold, or just proxy until your teleport is back up.
Go back, and purchase yourself a Catalyst The Protector, later on you can build this into a Rod Of Ages, which will give you AMAZING sustain.
Mid to Late game
During this stage, you're going to want to utilize your Teleport as much as possible.
Go ninja gank lanes with it, and tele into teamfights.
Don't be afraid to engage, run in with your ult and poison and let your teammates follow you into battle, you'll win every fight.
Try and backdoor as much as possible, it's what you're good for.
Liandries Torment and Abyssal Cepter will help you with this, and your Rylais Crystal Cepter will help you get away from everyone, along with whatever boots you decided to buy.
Kills Deaths and Assists
You're a tank. You're not meant to get a lot of kills, you're not meant to make amazing plays and get a 1v5 penta kill, you're here to initiate fights, and be focused.
If you get kills early game, that's good, it'll help your build and make you a tanky damge dealing son of a *****.
Although you're getting kills all over the place, assists are good, there is no such thing as a "kill steal" if your team kills something, it's good, and that's it. The more assists you have, the better you did.
Even if you're 0/10/32, you're doing good.
Today, you were singed. You flipped *****es into your farts and killed them.
Feel good, fellow summoner.
Feel good.

Even as a Newbie, I find that I can tell the diference in these brushes and other similar "blend" brushes I've tried. I have set my sights on owning several brushes in this line .....just taking it one brush at a time. ~
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Versatile and great quality brush!
By Yujai
from Seattle
This is a wonderful brush with lots of use. It can be used for wash, thick and fine lines and great for painting petals and leaves with the oval shape. It also holds lots of water and paint and you can keep going without a pause. I had fun twisting, rolling and turning this brush, and it snaps right back to point from time to time. You can use this magical brush to finish a whole painting, definitely well worth the money.

I don't know how I ever did without this brush! It's great as a background brush and the point can get into those small areas around objects.
Best dye/watercolor brush
By Sweetsilks
from North Carolina for now
I bought one to try out and fell in love with how much dye (I'm a silk artist) it holds and that sharp little point it comes to. Amazing. So I went and bought two more because I like one each for yellow, blue, and red. Best brush purchase I have ever made and Blick had a sale on too.
Desert Island Brush!!
By CKP
from New Orleans
I just received the 3/4-inch pointed-oval-wash brush from Blick. WOW!! This is my new best-ever brush, the one I'd take with me if I had to pack only one brush for getting stranded on a desert island. I had already owned the 1-inch pointed-oval-wash (I think the Blick description calls them just "oval wash" without the word "pointed" but they are, believe me, rather nicely pointed too!) and felt like it was ever so slightly cumbersome, because it's a bit bigger than I thought it would be. (The Blick website's dimensions are accurate, no issue there; I just wrongly expected something smaller on the basis of my own subjective guess and mistake.) So I sized down from 1-inch to 3/4-inch and man I can't stop using it. An oval wash brush is good for mopping clear water onto a wide area of paper in preparation for an even application of watercolor pigment, and this works as well as any other mop or sumi brush I've ever used for that purpose. And this particular oval wash has longer bristles down the middle, to the extent that you might call it a "cat's tongue" brush; which means it has a very delicate "nose" (or uh "tongue"?) that you can sweep gently over any area, with or without the pigment. Some pointed oval wash brushes CAN be the worst of both worlds, too wide and floppy to be useful as typical rounds, but also too pointed and slim to adequately serve as an even-application mop or wash brush. But this one? It mixes the best of both worlds, and the various functions don't ever seem to interfere with one another. Get one. I'm getting a second one right now! Seriously, I'm not joking, I'm going to buy two.

I purchased three Silver Brush Black Velvet watercolor brushes the oval 3/4", round 8 and a script 1. And I love them! I though I sucked at watercolors because I was using student grade Koi Sakura watercolors and student watercolor brushes. I do not recommend Princeton Art & Brush Co series 4350AS made of synthetic golden taklon for watercolors. Period. I am extremely happy with the Silver Brush Black Velvet watercolor brushes. I will never look back! The Silver Brush Black Velvet is a delight to use. It has just enough spring and it retains it's shape. I heard about them from watching "The Mind of Watercolor" on You Tube. The man who does the channel is a professional illustrator. He gave a fabulous recommendation! Do yourself a favor if you are a beginning watercolor student or professional try this brush. Buy artist quality watercolor paper. I like Arches cold press. Don't skim on the paper. And buy an artist quality watercolor! Seriously. I wish I had known. All this time I though I sucked at watercolor. The tools do make a huge difference! Always buy the best art supplies that you can afford!

Great product!
By Holly
from Kenosha, wi
I am very much a beginner in water coloring and I have tried several "cheap" brushes in the past without having done any research or having any brand in mind. I always thought water coloring must just be beyond my capability. I opened these up and used these brushes just the other day and I couldn't believe what a difference it made! I told my husband that the brush upgrade makes it look like I know what I'm doing! I have researched, and many other people who are a lot more skilled than me love these, but I'm just getting into watercolor and I LOVE them. They seem extra nice compared to anything else I ever picked up just on a whim! I can't wait to continue usingr these and I'm definitely going to order more in various sizes!
I would by this product again

I use these brushes for water coloring. These brushes really hold water great the bristle are wonderful and they keep their shape. Aso, I have brushes that cost less and some that cost more and these are by far the best ones I own. I have no complaints about these brushes.

This brush holds a lot of paint yet can do fine detail with the tip. It is well made, does not leave hairs behind.

Silver Black Velvet oval wash brush
By Teacher Deb
from Lancaster PA
My favorite brush! It holds a lot of paint and is soft enough for perfect washes, yet the point lets me keep the precise detail I like. This brush holds its shape and lasts for years. I think it's every bit as good as the very expensive sable brushes, for a fraction of the cost.

All pets you adopt or purchase should be check by your vet.and is your respondibity. This dose not make the recue or a breeder a bad organization. Please understand that you do not need to maintain a store front or facilty to help animals in need of a new home.
Review from Guidestar
I volunteer at Georgeannes homeless hounds and it is an outstanding experience. All of the animals on this ranch are treated with great kindness and are very loveable. I would say George and Georgeanne are experts in helping and aiding dogs, they would not lie about any dog having a virus like Parvo. If a dog really did have Parvo then i believe they would have taken the necessary actions to isolate the litter and make sure it did not spread to any other animals. Fortunately none of the dogs ever had Parvo so they did not have to go to this extreme measures and do not need to be hassled by it.
Georgeanne's Homeless Hounds is one of the greatest nonprofits I have volunteered at, even though it is the only place I've been to that deals with animals I firmly believe that they exceed expectations. I regularly volunteer there on the weekends and I find it a very compelling place for animals to come and go from. I have personally handled all of the dogs and I can assure you that none of the dogs have Parvo or any other infectious disease. Georgeanne's is a great place to adopt or donate a dog to and I am expecting to adopt a dog for myself within a couple of weeks. I cannot wait till I get another chance to return and spend the day helping out the ranch do what they do best, taking care of animals!
Reading the majority of the reviews on Georgine's ranch, I am dumbfounded by the amount of lies posted. First of all, Parvo, being +80% fatal, is a virus that would infect and kill nearly all the animals in contact of the canine. However this is not the case; as for the other 15 adult dogs and numerous variety of puppies ( puppies of which have a weaker immune system than adult dogs) are all fine and happy. It is obvious for those of us that have the ability to think to conclude that if ONE SINGLE DOG was infected with parvo while at Georgine's ranch there would be an epidemic followed by a graveyard of canine corpses. Aside from the parvo issue, my experiences at the ranch have been nothing but the epitome of a learning experience and incorporated by happy, HEALTHY and friendly dogs. Over the years of knowing Georgine and spending over 200+ hours of community service on her ranch, I think it would be quite evident to me if there was any case of animal abuse or neglect. In fact, there has been atleast 2 occasions where Georgine has personally saved my dog's life (along with a ferret). Purely by the amount of effort Georgine exerts from sun up to sun down on her ranch just to keep these animals out of the gas chamber is a clear example of how much love she has for each and everyone of her animals. In conclusion, if Georgine were to have never started her rescue I know that my animals she has saved and nursed back to health would have died along with the many homeless hounds or dogs with minor aggression issues presented to her. In my eyes, and those of my family, she is a hero and savior to countless animals all around the Hernando-Citrus area.

Ever since I met george anne in 8th grade she has mentored me in becoming a dog owner. I own a curr-pit mix named Freya, which I had just recently adopted from the spca before contacting george anne. She was 10 weeks old and needed all of her puppy shots/heart worm medication/flea medication, which george anne intstructed me on where and how to get. I was also taught how to properly train freya while she was still a puppy. By the age of 3 months freya was house-broken entirely, and listened to the commands; come, sit, lay down, and stay. I am proud to say that 3 years later I could not ask for a better dog.
Aside from my dog interactions with george anne, I have volunteered over 100 hours of time on her ranch and have never seen a hint of animal abuse or neglect. George anne is the last hope for many animals, her (NON PROFIT, DONATION DEPENDENT, 0 HELP FROM THE STATE DUE TO HER RULE OF NO EUTHENIZATION) organization saves countless numbers of deemed for death due to minor agression issues.
Homeless Hounds is a great place too adopt a puppy. They take extremely good care of their animals and love every last one of them. Its a shame too see negative comments being directed at this shelter when they work so hard too keep their pups healthy.
Previous Stories
A few months ago, I was giving an opportunity to give a helping hand at Homeless-Hounds. Homeless Hounds is a couple of hard-working people, that do anything and EVERYTHING for their animals. How can anyone sit on their butts and think of false allegations to put against them? Especially to that extreme level. They love and care for their animals incredibly and always make sure every last one of them is taken care of. Some of the animals on her ranch were going to be put to death, instead of having their lives taken away they were able to stay on this ranch and given a chance too go to a good home. I loved the fact I was able to volunteer here, every last animal was happy, sweet, and friendly. And its not just the animals it's Georgeann as well. She's such a strong woman that truly loves her animals, and would never cause harm to anyone of them. She was even nice of enough to let my dog receive his shots for free when I couldn't afford them.
Not only do i volunteer at homeless hounds on a regular basis but i have adopted 2 puppies there and both have been healthy and continue to be healthy today as adults. george and georganne have always been nothing but helpful and caring to any of the animals i brought there and have even given my dog shots for free when i was unable to pay for them and my dogs were in need. As far as all of these alleged Parvo reports go it seems to me to all be done by one angry customer and possibly their friends. I have seen and played with all of georgannes puppies and they ARE NOT sick. These people spend their lives taking in and care of animals who are in need, spending their time and love on animals others would and have thrown away, that some people would be so slanderous to these good people is beyond me and can only stem from greed and misunderstanding.
Firstly let me say that i am appalled by the libelous unfounded statements i have read and heard about georgeann's shelter. i cannot contemplate the kind of human garbage that would spew the lies that have been said about these kind amazing people and their business. i myself have been gifted enough to meet these people and they have helped me and my little dog Eros on numerous occasions; as well as helping many other people i know. Whenever i need help with anything animal related i call george or georgeann before i do anything they truly know exactly what they're doing and they help me love and care for my pets in the best ways possible. I have been on their ranch on numerous occasions as a volunteer and still go there at least twice a week to donate food and help with the ranch every time i have been there the animals are always perfectly healthy and there are many animals there that if george and georgeann hadn't taken them in they would have certainly faced death at the hands of an uncaring shelter that would have euthanized them no more than two weeks after receiving them. in fact i know some of these animals by heart; big man, a once very aggressive german shepard, without georges training he would still be aggressive and have been put down by any other shelter. or molly an aggressive black lab who would have been put down as well. or even all of the little chiwawa breeds that they keep or the old nag of a horse and donkey, non of these animals would be adopted at any other shelter and would have faced the death penalty just because they're old or their original owners didn't treat them right or train them. these people, george and georgeann, are saints and should be given a medal for their kindness and thoughtless dedication to the animals they love and support not slandered by people they've never even met before. The criminals who perpetrated this crime should be ashamed of themselves.
As for the rediculous allegations that the animals are under fed at homeless hounds i have helped with feeding all of the dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, chickens, and other assorted animals there on the ranch and not one animal is ever left out, and the food shed is always full with bag upon bag of pet food i have helped put in there before and its weighed over a ton in total when they purchased it all.
To Whom This May Concern: For starters, I do not see where my past posting was inappropriate,vague maybe. As far as for one step ahead of the law-well, I don't see where that response has anything to do w/ my posting. Anyway, here's my story - I hope you can help or get anwsers,a pic would still be a great help. My husband and I had to make a haste decision to find a new home for our dog Buddy whom we loved very much. It was a hard decision to make.We had our dog for two years and we were very attached, especially our 7 year-old son. We called the SPCA and Humane Society and they were both full and couldn't take in any more dogs of this breed. He was a Amer.Bull/Boxer/Pitbull mix. Awesome w/ kids. The problem was he only liked us.We moved to a new neighborhood and a few times he got out and chased some neighbors. He has never bit anyone but, we were worried that one day he could. My brother gave us your card and told us to call you and that you were good people. So we did. I spoke to Georgeann which was very convincing that I was doing the right thing. I told her we had a seven year-old whom would be heart broken to lose his dog and she told me how to go about it. She told me to bring them the dog while he was in school. So I did. She talked to my son later that night on the phone and assured him that it was the right thing to do. He asked for a pic of him being happy, which I asked for when I gave her the dog and she said she would send a pic via email. When we didn't recieve a pic I called 2 weeks after we have given him up. She said she couldn't find my email address and didn't have time to write it down, so she said for me to email it to her. Well, it kept coming back default. I had other people try and the same thing with them. So my husband called her and now she says the dog has been adopted out. So we can't get a pic. She had the dog for 2 monthe before he was adopted,and no pic.Christmas was here and my son would not come out to open presents w/ his family because he just wanted his dog. I explained to Georgeann that the picture would be closure for my son. She said she could not get a picture because she could not get him to hold still for a pictue. Well,I fail to believe that our dog was so hyper that she couldn'tget a pic,being as she has dealt w/ so many dogs and is well trained to handle this.So 2 weeks later my mom calls and asks her if she could contact the new owners and ask them to send a pic and explained to Georgeann that this pic is vital for proper closure for her grandson. Georgeann told her the new owners were very private and wanted no pics taken and said the new owners said we didn't deserve a pic.My mom asked why the new owners whom adopted Buddy from a rescue wouldn't feel warm in thier heart to be able to bring closure to a 7 year old little boy, so he would know that his dog was in good hands.Goergeann said the new owners said we gave up our rights and we don't deserve one.My mom told Georgeann that she promised a pic from the start and that she needed to make it right. My mom asked Georgeann that if the new owners ever gave him back if she could call and let us adopt him back,because personally we don't trust anyone now after all of this. We didn't find Georgeanns reasons to be justifyible. She was angry and told my mom that she would 'euthanize the dog before she ever gave him back',Georgeann's husband grabbed the phone and told my mom that Georgeann didn't mean that and my mom heard her yell in the background 'yes I did, I would kill that dog before I ever gave him back'.NOW, on that note --- WE WERE GREAT OWNERS--WE LOVED OUR DOG-- if we didn't care we would have sent him to Animal Control-we had no problem with the 200.00 fee for them to take him we would have paid more knowing they were going to find him a good home. And they assurred us that if he never got a home that he would always have a home on their ranch for the rest of his life. I gave them his toys,dog bed,food and his year supply if comfortis.We had him neutered in July he had all his shots and tags.We took very good care of him.. Now finally my brother calls Georgeann and George about the situation because he feels bad to have recommended them to us. Asked them why they would say that to our mother. George told my brother that it sounded to him like the boy has a mental problem or bad parenting for him to still be hung up on a dog that he hasn't seen in three months...Now if you claim that your a pet rescue which would be for your love for animals to want to start this organization then for one you threatening a dog's life would never be a thought to you.and anyone who has a pet knows it takes more than 3 months to get over it. So George you your not only calling my son a mental case but probably more than half the people in this world. Now with all that has been said I have to question what has really happened to Buddy. I didn't think your excuse for a pic was justifyable and everything thereafter. The things you've said to my family doesn't sound like someone who has devoted there lives to rescuing pets. Maybe thats how you started out, but I have to think your wore out with it. Its time to find a new profession, because this one has seemed to make you hard and heartless. I'm sure when you started out you had your heart in it, but somewhere along the way you lost it.It happens to the best of us. This letter was not intended to upset you, if it does maybe it is for your own good. I have left nothing out in this letter, this is exactly what happened. Sorry,I couldn't sum it up any shorter,I just wanted to make sure I covered everything. - Ms.Sauto

Picture: Prince William and Prince Harry at the Rugby World Cup final between England and South Africa Paris, France - 20.10.07
British royals Prince William and Prince Harry will both make speeches at a memorial service for their late mother DIANA, Princess Of Wales to mark the 10th anniversary of her death later this year (07).
The princes - who have also organised a concert in London to commemorate their mother's life - will attend a service at the Guards' Chapel in the British capital.
The event will take place on 31 August, 10 years to the day after Diana was killed in a Paris, France car crash with her lover Dodi Fayed.
A senior royal aide says, "The details of the service are still being worked on but it is a fair assumption to make that the two young princes will both give readings."
