The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has invited Lindenwood University Professor James D. Evans to present a paper at the 105th annual meeting of the NCA in Chicago April 1-4, 2000.
Evans, who is dean of faculty dean of sciences and professor of psychology at Lindenwood, will present a session on "Mission Restatement via Heritage Rediscovery: A Case Study." The paper will discuss how, in the past decade, Lindenwood has become successful by moving back toward the basic historical and philosophical mission of founders and by adaptive ways to express its fundamental purpose within an ever-changing higher education landscape.
Eventually, the paper will be included in a conference publication, "A Collection of Papers on Self-Study and Institutional Advancement."
Evans, of St. Charles, has taught at Lindenwood since 1974. He holds a Ph.D. and an M.S. from Iowa State University and a B.S. from Geneva College. He is co-chair of Lindenwood's Mission and Purpose Committee.
Lindenwood University is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the NCA. North Central accredits colleges and universities within a 19-state region. The annual meeting serves institutional representatives and consultant-evaluators from that region. Approximately 2,400 faculty and administrators from higher education institutions attended the 1999 conference.

Why Use This Tip
It's a special day when a child opens a book and can, for the first time, read it without help. But did you know there are many successful moments leading up to that major accomplishment? One of the early, confidence-boosting ones occurs when children begin linking familiar sights (a stop sign, the label on the orange juice) with the words that appear on them. By encouraging these connections, you will send the message that a child is already on the way to being a successful reader.
Two important things to know about this activity: Children tend to be good at it and it is fun for them. When a child points out the box of macaroni and cheese, you can encourage further investigation. How do we know there's mac and cheese in there? What letter do we see at the beginning of the word macaroni? What are some other letters we see in that word? So there you have it. Mac and cheese is not only yummy, it's educational!
What To Do
- The first step is to see how many logos, brands, and labels the child already recognizes. Start at home in the kitchen with food and drinks, in the bathroom with soaps and other toiletries, and in the toy box with familiar toys. Then, take to the road. Which places, store names, restaurant names, and signs are familiar? Make a list, so you can gather a supply of these labels and logos. Use the Internet to print them out or use actual labels and empty containers.
- Help the child identify all the words on each label or logo. On labels, often theres the brand name, the name of the product, and then some description of the product.
- Run through this list of questions any time you look at a label or logo together:
- What letter do you see at the beginning?
- What sound does that letter make?
- Do you see other letters that you know?
- Can you find another label or logo that starts with the same letter?
- What letter do you see at the beginning?
- For children who are already reading, increase the difficulty level by asking them to locate logos and labels that use consonant blends (two or more letters like the ch in Cheerios or the sp in spaghetti. You also can ask children to spot punctuation, cursive writing, and unusual spelling, such as Kids Kuts.
- Make an I Can Read book. Paste a label or logo on each page. Then, below that, help the child write a sentence about each one. For example: My mom loves Hersheys chocolate. Read the book together, letting the child read as much as he or she can. You can do a variation of this book by basing it on the alphabet. Can you and the child find a label or logo for each letter?
- Create a label/logo matching game. Use three index cards to create cards bearing three versions of each label or logo. Include a full color version, a black and white version, and a card that contains only the printed words from the label of logo. For example: Tropicana orange juice. Run through the cards with the child. Which ones can he or she identify? Can he or she get both the color and black and white versions? Lay the cards out in rows so the child can see the progression from color, to black and white, to words only.
- For an added dimension, let the child sort the labels and logos. Create three piles: love it, like it, and dont like it Where will the green beans label go? In love it, we hope.
- Travel version! For this one, youll need only a small notebook. Words are all around us at home, on the car trip to school, on the train or bus, even in the doctors office as you wait your turn. When the child spots a label or logo in a magazine or on a sign, write the words clearly in the notebook strawberry yogurt, Pittsburgh Steelers, Play-Doh. Show the child what youve written to make the connection with the printed words on the page. Then give the child a personal challenge: Find labels and logos that start with the same letter as his or her first name.

James Cameron's rise, from driving trucks to directing some of Hollywood's biggest epics, parallels the epic journeys of his characters, from Sarah Connor to Jake Sully. And you won't believe how crazy the stories in his biography, The Futurist, are.
Here are some of the weirdest Cameron facts, from The Futurist by Rebecca Keegan, as well as Keegan's interviews about the book. We've also linked to some excerpts from the book that you can read online.
When Cameron was a young kid, his mom Shirley joined the Canadian Women's Army Corps and spent her weekends in fatigues and combat boots, learning to assemble a rifle while blindfolded. She's perplexed by the idea that she might be the inspiration for Cameron's female heroines. Cameron was a precocious kid who was speaking complete sentences at 18 months and reading science books when the other kids were reading See Spot Run. He won every academic award in ninth grade and became president of the Science Club, and not surprisingly got himself beat up by all the other kids in the process. He learned to do just well enough in school to get good grades, without getting any awards.
And he's an atheist, who decided agnosticism was "cowardly atheism." When the other kids read the Lord's Prayer in school, Cameron decided it was a "tribal chant" and decided not to do it.
If graphic novels had existed as an art form when Cameron started out, he might have done that instead of trying to direct movies.
As a teenager, Cameron worked six-hour shifts as a precision tool and die machinist while taking 14 units at Fullerton College. In his early 20s, he worked as a truck driver, janitor and gas-station attendant. And his girlfriend at the time worked at Bob's Big Boy Diner, just like Sarah Connor.
"You can't help but come away from spending time with Jim feeling that you're a little bit stupid," Peter Jackson warned Keegan. "He's got such a sharp mind."
His early writings included a post-nuclear science-fiction story called "Necropolis." His first real film project, made with friends, was a never-completed epic called Xenogenesis, for which they shot a complex sequence involving a guy being chased by a tank firing laser beams, causing explosions at his feet. This got him in the front door at Roger Corman studios.
After Cameron got promoted to director of Piranha II when the original director quit, he broke into the editing bay to create his own edit of the film against the producer's wishes. When Cameron first met Arnold Schwarzenegger, he didn't want to cast him in The Terminator — he figured Arnie would have the usual body-builder movie arc: make some movies wearing a toga, and then fall off the face of the Earth. (The two are now friends, and race motorcycles together on weekends.)
He only did Aliens because he called an agent's bluff. And during the making of that film, he had to deal with a British film crew who saw the 31-year-old director as a young upstart who hadn't earned his stripes by working his way up. The assistant director, Derek Cracknell, felt better able to direct the film than Cameron and would try to set up shots differently than Cameron wanted. The crew was used to two tea breaks, lunch at the pub, and work ending by 5 PM, and Cameron drove them to work longer hours, sparking a full-on walk-out. Finally, Cameron talked to the crew in a marathon gripe session, which ended with promises of more cooperation. Somehow, Cameron finished making the film, and then addressed the crew one last time:
This has been a long and difficult shoot, fraught by many problems. But the one thing that kept me going, through it all, was the certain knowledge that one day I would drive out the gate of Pinewood and never come back, and that you sorry bastards would still be here.
(You can read an excerpt from the book, detailing this incident, over at Slashfilm.)
After Terminator II came out, Guillermo Del Toro was staying at Cameron's guest house for long stretches of time. And after Del Toro's father got kidnapped in Mexico, Cameron helped Del Toro find the right hostage negotiators to get him out, and helped put up the money for his ransom.
Cameron stood up to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who did not want Jamie Lee Curtis to be his costar in True Lies, and won. And when Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold took off on a tour of DC monuments, leaving the set, they returned to find Cameron standing in the middle of the road, arms crossed, like a Terminator ready to total their vehicle. Cameron lunged in the passenger door and got in Arnie's face, shouting "Do you want Paul Verhoeven to direct the rest of this [expletive]? You do that [expletive] again and that's what's gonna happen."
During the making of Titanic, the whole crew ate chowder laced with LSD, and freaked out so badly, an assistant director stabbed Cameron in the face with a pencil. He almost died during the making of that film, when his sub got trapped on the ocean floor by currents that thwarted every attempt to rise — and a similar predicament happened during the making of The Abyss, when he ran out of oxygen. (His underwater cinematographer was nearly deaf due to a diving-bell accident, and didn't hear Cameron saying he was out of oxygen, and then he had to punch out his own safety diver to reach the surface — the safety diver was trying to hold Cameron 15 feet below the surface, as he was trained to do, but Cameron had a faulty regulator that was just spewing water. Read an excerpt about the making of The Abyss at TechLand.)
Cameron addressed a 2000 Earth Day celebration by intoning, "I just want to say that we're all doomed," mocking his own penchant for apocalyptic scenarios. "But on the positive side, we created this impending doom ourselves, with our brains, with our technology, and we can damn well uncreate it."
When Cameron brought his 153-page screenplay for Avatar to Fox, the executives "acted like it was a complete shambles," Cameron tells Keegan. That's because Cameron was in the habit of changing all his dialogue around after watching the actors rehearse, and it had been so long between projects that the suits had forgotten that's how Cameron works. So Cameron had to revise the movie and take it back to Fox — and then the studio still decided to pass on it officially. But after Cameron took the film to Disney, Fox changed its mind in a hurry.

Ancestors and Descendants of John DOUGALL and Marion HASTIE from West Lothian, Scotland, to Argentueil County, Lower Canada (Quebec).
This photograph was taken some time before John Dougall died in July 1867 (see below). He lived just past Canada's birth as an independent nation. The photo has hung above my desk for the thirty years I have worked as a professional genealogist for thousands of clients worldwide. The look on John's face suggests disapproval that I was not paying attention to my own family history. I sincerely hope he will cheer up now. As I've already said, this is a work in progress and I have quite a way to go still. More information needs to be hunted, collected and sorted for several lines yet. As of this date I am also cleaning up footnotes ... the source citations which are all-important to a credible genealogical compilation.
The work itself includes data and stories (when possible) on:
* The emigrating Couple and their Ancestry
* The Second Generation
Names of spouses: Cameron, Fenton, Moffat, Lloynachen, Laing, FRASER, McCunn
* The Third Generation
mainly from Peter Dougall (1824-1914); names of spouses: Ormiston, McFADYEN, Hemenway, French, McAdam, Kenning
* The Fourth Generation
from John Fraser Dougall (1852-****)
from William Charles Dougall (1854-1934)
from Margaret Jane French (1867-****)
from Peter Robinson Dougall (1872-1962)
from Mabel Kate Kenning (1881-****)
The Fifth Generation:
Hector Fraser Dougall (1896-1960)
Peter McAdam Dougall (1900-1993)
To the last two above, I dedicated my work: my father, whose interest and preliminary findings unknowingly set me on this lifelong path, and my "uncle" who unfailingly provided support and good humour.
John Dougall (Thomas, John) was baptized 20 July 1781 in the parish of West Calder, West Lothian, Scotland, the son of Thomas Dougall and Marion Pollens;(1) he died 20 July 1867 at Beech Ridge, Argenteuil County, Quebec.(2) John married on 13 May 1810 in Livingstone parish Marion Hastie, daughter of John and Margaret (Brown) Hastie.(3)
(1) West Calder Old Parochial Register (OPR), baptisms 1645-1854; Family History Library microfilm 1067792.
(2) Suzanne Rossignol and Pennie Redmile, St. Andrews East Protestant Cemetery, St. Andrews East, Quebec (Quebec Family History Society 1991).
(3) Livingstone OPR, marriages 1718-1820; FHL microfilm 106636. John Dougall's family bible, published in 1811, has disappeared; it was transcribed by Miss Helen Locke as a girl and her notes say the wedding took place 13 July 1810.

Hello Aunt Brenda,
I find these tidbits of our family history really interesting. Thanks very much for helping me learn more about our family. I look forward to reading more.
much love,

Good morning Brenda,
I was reading your three wishes this morning and suddenly it clicked with me that I have several McDougall's in my paternal line and admittedly I have done very little research on them. I've been following your blog for awhile now so I don't know why it took so long to have the two names finally click with me! Do you know if the Dougall's and McDougall's are closely related? I know that at least Isobel McDougall m. James Adam sometime before 1800 and their children were born in Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland, which isn't too terribly far from West Lothian. Some of their descendants settled in Lanark Co, Ontario and that is also where I find other McDougall's that tie into my tree one way or another. I know it's a long shot but I was wondering if you have ties to either area too, or if the surnames Adam or McKinnon have cropped up in your research?

Hello Brenda,
I just wanted to thank you for putting this all in front of us, I am a Dougall by birth and have tried many times to dig up some of our history always leading to a dead end. So thank you, I've enjoyed reading through everything today!

- BDM said...
I replied privately to Apple -- there is no family story that my Dougalls were McDougalls 'once upon a time.' Back to the 1730s in Scotland, our surname is quite clear. So if anyone else can suggest a connection between Dougall and McDougall, I'm all ears :-)

Hi all @ Sitters. Well having felt very apprehensive about using this kind of service for the very first time, I don't know why I was worrying so much. Cathy came to our house and the children, my Hubby & myself all took to her straight away and felt very at ease. Look forward to using Sitters again and requesting Cathy to babysit too. Feel so very pleased that we now know we have babysitter arrangements sorted for future evenings out. Excellent company service, all very efficient and professional. Will definitely be telling friends and passing the word around. Many thanks, T x.
Rebecca has looked after my 4-year-old daughter twice. She was wonderful - professional, experienced, engaging, nurturing and fun. On the first occasion, she played beautifully with my little girl and I could hear the giggles from upstairs where I was working. On the second occasion (and again, I was upstairs working), my daughter became unwell and Rebecca was extremely sensitive and caring. I would, absolutely, recommend Rebecca and would be delighted for her to look after my daughter again, who thoroughly enjoyed playing with her.
I had set the ball in motion so that my son would not notice me putting him to bed an hour early as it would have been the first time a stranger would have put him to bed! When Sarah arrived, the 10 minutes that it normally takes him to warm up was out of the window and they were fast and firm friends, so much so, that I changed my mind and left Sarah to put him to bed at his normal time. I was over the moon to receive a text to say that he had gone to bed and was out like a light! I would highly recommend Sarah, brilliant!

GLOBALG.A.P. Certification
- Overview
- Benefits of Certification
- Why Work With NSF?
- Certification Process
NSF Certification, LLC is accredited to certify to GLOBALG.A.P, a food safety certification program for agriculture and aquaculture producers. Formerly known as EurepGAP, GLOBALG.A.P. is a private sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certification of agricultural products around the globe.
Based on Good Agricultural Practices, the GLOBALG.A.P. food safety standard encompasses all process activities on the farm and is a business-to-business certification. The GLOBALG.A.P. standard covers 80 countries and is based on review of on-farm compliance against three main scopes: crops, livestock and aquaculture. We can provide GLOBALG.A.P. certification in many of the sub-scopes. For more information, visit our Agriculture Certification page.
Benefits of Certification
As the internationally recognized standard for farm production, GLOBALG.A.P. benefits farmers, retailers and consumers throughout the world. It provides the most widely recognized and trusted standard for farm assurance and food safety.
Achieving NSF certification to GLOBALG.A.P. provides independent verification that a product or process complies with specific international standards. It enables a food supplier to give assurances that food has been produced, prepared and handled according to the highest possible standards.
NSF Certification, LLC is accredited to audit to the following GLOBALG.A.P. standards: Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA)—sub-scopes Fruit & Vegetables, Flowers & Ornamentals and Combinable Crops); Plant Propagation Material (PPM); and the new Produce Safety Standard (PSS).
GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance Certification
GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) is the most rigorous and comprehensive certification producers can currently attain. Widely implemented and accepted, it covers food safety, traceability, environmental sustainability, worker health and safety, and animal welfare.
GLOBAELG.A.P. Plant Propagation Material Certification
GLOBAELG.A.P. Plant Propagation Material (PPM) certification helps ensure the quality and safety of your products as well as worker and environmental health and safety. It covers the entire production process to provide your customers with safe and sustainably produced products.
GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Standard Certification
The GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Safety Standard (PSS) is the ideal certification for producers supplying U.S. and Canadian customers who are mainly concerned with food safety for fruits and vegetables.
Why Work With NSF?
NSF companies are the leading global certifier to GFSI benchmarked standards, with exceptional technical expertise, consistently calibrated auditors and ample capacity for a timely path to certification. Backed by over 70 years of food safety expertise and a current average of 35,000 GFSI certification audits performed annually, we enable companies around the globe to demonstrate compliance with the most recognized food safety standards in the world.
NSF has a worldwide network of highly skilled and experienced auditors to help organizations of all sizes implement complex food safety solutions.
Certification Process
The GLOBALG.A.P. certification process generally takes an average of six to nine months, depending on a farm's level of readiness. The process follows five basic steps:
- Registration
- Site audit
- Corrective actions
- Certification decision
- Certificate issuance

Which GFSI standard/scheme should I pick to certify to?
Several standards fall under the GFSI scope, which can be confusing when you need to select just one. Some standards are geared toward particular industry sectors (GLOBALG.A.P. for agriculture, BAP for seafood), but outside of that, it is up to individual companies to select which is right for them. As your chosen certifier, NSF can walk you through the various standards and provide insight and guidance on which would be most appropriate for your company.
How can NSF help me prepare for GFSI certification?
NSF has the expertise and experience to assist your facility at every step in preparing for and maintaining certification to GFSI benchmarked standards including training, technical advice, pre-assessment audits, GFSI audits/certification and re-assessment audits.
How long does it take to prepare for GFSI certification?
Preparing for GFSI certification is different for every facility based on the current development of the facility, quality of recordkeeping and the resources your company may have to prepare for GFSI certification.

(News release from NEW ORLEANS POLICE) – New Orleans Police and US Marshals have arrested two brothers and booked them in the shootings that caused chaos during a second-line last Sunday, with 19 people injured by bullets, and one woman hurt as she was trying to flee the area.
NOPD's Fifth District detectives were able to develop 19-year-old Akein Scott as a gunman the very next day after the shooting, and last night just after 10pm, Scott was tracked to a residence in the 7500-block of Kingsport Drive. He was taken into custody without incident.
Scott was charged with 20 counts of Attempted Second Degree Murder, and is now being held on $10-million dollars bond.
Investigators also learned that four people were aware that Akein Scott was wanted for this shooting, but didn't turn him in, and instead, provided him comfort and aid. These individuals were also picked up during the night. They are 32-year-old Nekia Youngblood, 22-year-old Bionca Hickerson, 28-year-old Brandy George and 19-year-old Justin Alexander. All four are charged with Accessory After the Fact of Attempted Second Degree murder and Relative to Obstruction of Justice by Harboring a Fugitive.
And finally, through further investigation, detectives learned that 24-year-old Shawn Scott, Akein's big brother, also participated in this crime. Officers headed out again at 7 this morning, and located Shawn Scott in the 9600-block of Haynes Boulevard. He attempted to flee out of the back door of a residence, but was quickly apprehended. Shawn Scott is also booked with 20-counts of Attempted Second Degree Murder.
NOPD has information indicating that both Scott brothers are members of the gang that calls itself the "Frenchmen and Derbigny Boys".
Akein Scott was previously arrested for Illegal Carrying of a Weapon, Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Resisting an Officer, Contraband to Jail, Illegal Carrying of a Weapon While in Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance and Possession of Heroin.
Shawn Scott currently has 4 warrants out for his arrest, including Illegal Carrying of a Weapon, Possession with the Intent to Distribute a Controlled, Dangerous Substance and traffic attachments. He was currently on parole for Possession with the Intent to Distribute Heroin and Possession of Cocaine until 12/2015.
Shawn Scott was previously arrested for Resisting an Officer, Criminal Trespass, traffic violations, Possession of Marijuana, Warrants, Possession of Crack Cocaine, Possession of Heroin and attachments.
Justin Alexander has been previously arrested for Distribution of a Schedule 1 Narcotic, Distribution of a Control Dangerous Substance within 1000 feet of a School. He also has an outstanding Municipal Court Attachment.
Nekia Youngblood has been previously arrested for Driving While Intoxicated.
"The identification, pursuit and arrest of Akein Scott and Shawn Scott makes it clear that we will not accept the culture of death and violence in our city," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "I want to thank the New Orleans Police Department and all the local, state and federal agencies who assisted in the capture and all the residents who remained vigilant and provided tips. The people of New Orleans made this happen because as a community we have said enough is enough. The rules of the game have changed on the streets of New Orleans, and we will not let up. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with all of the victims."
"I'm incredibly proud of this police department for the swift, excellent work it has done on this case. It truly is an honor to work with the men and women who contributed to this effort, working around the clock to take control of this situation," said Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
"The Fifth District lead detectives- Robert Hurst, Rayell Johnson and Sergeant Gary Lacabe, did an extraordinary job. And they had an exemplary leader in Commander Chris Goodly and Lieutenant Chris Hart."
"It's also important to thank all members of the US Marshals Fugitive task Force, which includes all local, state and federal agency law enforcement partners. Their help is invaluable to us."
"We are seeing a game-changing attitude in New Orleans. By using CrimeStoppers to anonymously and safely report information to police, the fear and intimidation that gangs try to inflict on this community- are becoming things of the past. Together, the people of New Orleans and their police force are in control, working together and making New Orleans a safer place," Serpas said.

Hello hello. This forum is good stuff, seriously guys. I just starting going on here upon discovering the writings of K-punk in the aftermath of his passing, but I'm sensing that the level of enthusiasm on here has seen greater heights. That's kinda sad seeing as the about only interesting discussions I've read on any online forums lately have come from here.
Anyways, English is not my first language so fuck off with pointing out mistakes or anything.

An art collective rolls out a 1,400-foot path of turf for a small town in France.
Green architecture can often be taken too literally these days, to the extent that any structure slapped with a plane of grass on a roof or a wall can be too easily equated with do-good design. As architects and landscape architects continue to tinker with the still novel concept of grafting nature directly onto architecture, it is important to look critically at the role of nature in each design that wields a carpet of grass like a badge of moral affirmation.
We had our reservations when we came across the Tapis Rouge! installation in the French village of Jaujac, for which the public art collective Gaëlle Villedary rolled out 1,400 feet of turf grass rollers to create a snaking path of organic matter cutting through streets of asphalt, cement, and stone. According to Landezine, the meandering carpet was installed in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Jaujac's arts and nature trail programs.
Like a distilled, just-add-water version of the linear park, Tapis Rouge! prescribes a specific circulation through the town. However, its narrow path leaves much to be desired, providing little room to do much anything (only picnickers on a diet could perhaps make something of the limited space). But this seeming inadequacy of design could be seen as the merit of the project as a temporary installation; the minimal intervention modestly introduces a new understanding of the village, one that gathers existing places and spaces and connects them all for a brief duration like a string of beads on a necklace, inviting locals to explore the village anew.

Colour Craft look no. 3
Today's look was done using Mac Mineralize eyeshadow quad in Girlish Romp, Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Triple Fusion, Mac lipglass in Funky Fusion, plus Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Ransom, Mac Brow Set in Show Off and Le 2 de Guerlain mascara in Butterfly sparkle. I really like Girlish Romp, the colours are so soft and girly, and go together really well. Triple Fusion is lovely too, it works as a light blush/highlighter on me, very pretty.

Another Colour Craft look
I have done another look today using my new Colour Craft goodies. To create the look I used Mac Mineralize Eyeshadow quad in Fashion Patch (except the black shade), Mac Mineralize Eyeshadow trio in Persuasive (dark blue shade for the outer crease), Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and Shimmer in Medium, Mac Mineralize Blush in Daft Pink, and Mac lipglass in Crazy Haute. Other products used are Boots No7 Metallic eyeliner in Blue, Boots No7 liquid eyeliner in Sapphire, Maybelline Lash Stilletto Mascara and Mac Brow Set in Show Off. Here are some pictures:

Face of the day
After my big Colour Craft haul yesterday, I felt like using some of the products to create my look today. So I used Smooth Merge MSF as a blush and Eclectic Edge lipglass. On my eyes I used RMK eyeshadows in purple and pink to create this purple look. What do you think?

My Colour Craft haul
Everybody is posting about their Colour Craft hauls, so I couldn't be left out either. I was very upset yesterday when I looked on Mac's UK website and there was no sign of Colour Craft. I phoned my local Mac counter and a very confused MA told me that it was going to be out on the 15th. I later looked again on the website among the Mineralized producst and found the MSFs and blushes up already. Called another counter and was told (by a lot more clued up MA) that although it was going live on the website, CC would not be in the stores until Monday (that's the 13th). I then phoned Mac and asked if they were actually sending the orders out before Monday, was told yes, and if I order before noon, I can have it today. So.... I did, and here is what I got:
I didn't get Porcelain Pink as I already own it, but couldn't resist all the lovely MSFs. I also didn't get Style demon blush because I thought it might be too dark, but I will go to the Mac counter on Wednesday to check it out in person. I didn't get any of the lipsticks (will see in person, right now I'm thinking I'll might get Trimming talk and Madly creative), and also didn't get Pretty pattern and Nice mix up lipglasses as I wasn't sure about them, but having seen some swatches, I'm pretty sure I'll get Nice mix up on Wednesday. Not Pretty pattern as it looks too brown and boring to me. I got all 6 eyeshadows and they all look so pretty, can't wait to use them.
Here's a picture and some swatches of the lovely MSFs:
My favourite MSFs are Cheeky Bronze and Smooth Merge, and I also love Porcelain Pink, it's such a gorgeous soft pink colour. Also loving Hand finish and Daft pink blushes, they feel more like mini-MSFs to me, especially Hand finish.
I will also check out the Naked Honey collection on Wednesday, although I'm really only planning on getting the lighter shade of the highlighting powders.

My new storage solutions
I have recently purchased some nifty little storage units from eBay for keeping my stash in. I have a big make up collection and most of it is stored in boxes which isn't very easy to get at (they're under my chests of drawers). So I have bought a bigger 5 drawer unit and some smaller ones, and although they don't take anywhere near most of my stuff, I have managed to organize my eye products (liners, mascaras, etc.) and (drugstore) lipglosses, plus put all my Mac products in one, easily reachable place. See slideshow below:

No Colour Craft today :(
Despite being told by the girls at my local Mac counter that Colour Craft was coming out in the UK today, it's not. :( I checked the website this morning and there was no sign of any new collections, so I e-mailed them and was told CC is coming out next Thursday. So yet another week to wait. Very disappointed.

Stereo Rose!!!
I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous, very hard to find, limited edition Stereo Rose MSF. I got it from a lady on MUA and I am so happy I did. To be honest with you, I meainly got it because I collect MSFs and I'd heard that this one is a really lovely one, although I had seen pictures, I never really understood as it looks a bit "dirty" to me. What I mean is that it doesn't have that pretty veining some of the other MSFs like Petticoat and Glissade have, so for a while I wasn't sure I wanted it. But as this was pretty much the only one missing from my collection (as well as a few dark ones like Brunette, Metal Rock, Gold Deposit that don't suit me at all), I gave in and tracked it down. And boy am I glad I did. When I tested it on my hands I couldn't believe my eyes, it is just the most perfect pink I've ever seen! Absolutely gorgeous. So I am very happy I now own it and this brings my collection of MSFs to 22. Until Friday that is, because I was told at my local Mac counter that Colour Craft is out tomorrow (a week earlier than in the US), so I'll be going shopping on Friday and will be buying 5 new MSFs! (I already own a Porcelain Pink MSF.) I will post about my haul later this week as well as update my MSF collection photo if I get the chance. But for now, here's a picture of my lovely new Stereo Rose and a swatch that doesn't quite do it justice, but gives an idea of the colour anyway.

Last weekend I finally took the plunge and bought a serger. I've debated "needing" one for quite a while now, but the sales lady at my favorite Hancock Fabric store was so helpful and genuinely enthusiastic about the Janome New Home model 7933 that I had it up at the checkout before I had time to mentally form my "cons" list and talk myself out of it again.
So far, I love it. It was already threaded, and I ignored the warnings I'd read about the included thread being of poor quality and jumped right in. I made a cover for a couple of plastic drawer carts that I was tired of looking at and a pair of pajama pants. I did not experience any broken threads or other issues. It was ready to go out of the box... just plugged it in and stepped on the pedal.
The only issues I had were operator issues. I inadvertently ran a pin under the blade, but I think that I saw it in time, stopped, and manually backed it out. The pin did not seem to be cut or bent, so hopefully any damage to the blade was minimal. I also had trouble disengaging the blade for overcasting, but that is just me being "directionally impaired". It's an issue I run into quite often. Sad to say, but sometimes I - JUST - DON'T - GET - DIRECTIONS. Lucky for me, I have a husband who reads manuals cover to cover sometimes and is there to help when asked (sometimes even when not asked but it's okay, really).
I sewed the plastic cart cover from some Everyday Value Home Dec fabric from Hancock. It doesn't hang as prettily as I imagined it would, but I was just winging it, and I think it is an improvement overall.
The pajama pants are from Butterick B4406 with some modifications based on a pair of store bought pajama pants. I added some pockets and a wider, pieced waistband, rather than the folded over waistband the pattern called for.
I tried lowering the waist in the front, as I've made these once before, and the original pattern front comes up higher than my belly button which I really dislike. This pair is a little better, but I need more practice in pattern adjustment to get the front waist where it feels comfortable.
I also added a drawstring just for fun, but it may be a little much. I was improvising, trying to fill in the big waistband I'd created, but did not have elastic wide enough. I didn't feel like making the trip to the fabric store for the right elastic. If it isn't working out after a washing or two I can always find wider elastic and replace what's in there.

To be something, such as a subject, activity, or field, at which someone is particularly skilled or adept.

Kapiolani Community College Hospitality and Tourism Department instructors recognized as certified hospitality educatorsKapiʻolani Community College
Kapiolani Community College
Kristen Bonilla, (808) 956-5039
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — Eleven instructors from the Hospitality and Tourism (HOST) Department at Kapiʻolani Community College, which represents 100 percent of the teaching faculty in the department, have achieved national recognition as Certified Hospitality Educators (CHE).
"This recognizes the department and college as one of three colleges in the nation to have 100 percent of their faculty achieve the CHE designation," said Ron Umehira, Chair of the HOST Department.
The other two colleges are the Conrad Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston and the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.
Kapiʻolani CC instructors that received national certification are Laure Burke, Chelsea Chong, Doug Choy, Dave Evans, Rosalie Fernandez, Sheryl Fuchino-Nishida, Leilani Keolanui, Aloha Knaefler, Pat Kramm, Ron Umehira, and Palakiko Yagodich.
The instructors participated in an intensive workshop to learn new teaching methods, understand how adults learn, develop course objectives, create a positive classroom environment, and assess student's learning. Upon completion of the workshop, the instructors had to successfully pass a comprehensive exam and create a video of a live in-class session utilizing the principles learned from the workshop. The videos were then evaluated by the workshop facilitators.
CHE certification is granted by the Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Lodging Association. The Educational Institute is the premier source for delivering quality hospitality education, training and professional certification that serves the needs of hospitality schools and industries worldwide.

text: On June 8, organizations and communities from around the world will join to celebrate the Earth's largest life-support system, the ocean. World Oceans Day, first celebrated in 2002, was established to help educate others on how much of an impact the ocean has on our lives and what we need to do to protect it. Why we should celebrate the ocean, by the numbers: For 2.6 billion people, the ocean is their primary source of protein. For 3 billion people, the ocean is their livelihood. For all of us, the ocean absorbs more than 30 percent of carbon dioxide produced by humans, slowing climate change and allowing us a quality of life that, without the ocean, would not be possible. A recent estimate suggests that there may be as many as 1 million species of non-bacterial life in the world's waterways YET to be identified. Though Earth is 70 percent water, an incredible 90 percent of this aquatic real estate has yet to be discovered. National Aquarium will be celebrating our amazing blue planet all weekend long at both its Aquarium facilities: In Baltimore: Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. In Washington, DC: Saturday, June 8 12 - 4 p.m. Events at both venues are free with the price of admission.

Three Sundays later, and we have the return of our column. Apologies for the delay, but two things: one, my excuse is pretty good (yea, I blame Ultra), and two, this week's edition is awesome. I called it the We-Missed-You edition for two reasons. One, duh, I missed y'all. Two, it features a few of my favorite songs by artists we all know and love — but haven't heard them perform in their sets in years.
My first solo foray into the EDM world, I paid my buddy $10 and saw Avicii perform an intimate set at Pacha, and when he played this first song, I nearly cried of happiness, all hyped up, alone in my own Avicii-bubble. Years later, the feeling still returns. Then there's Jacques Lu Cont, or the Thin White Duke, who somehow kept us in our seats, jumping with this Killers track in Madison Square Garden last year when the Swedish House Mafia — now dissolved — headlined the first electronic show there. Sit back, close your eyes, and know you're in good hands… It's time for #SyncBackSunday.

Levi's Sweatshirts
One of the world's most iconic clothing labels, Levi Strauss & Co. was founded as a dry goods store in 1853 when businessman Levi Strauss emigrated from Bavaria to San Francisco. After partnering with tailor Jacob Davis, the duo received a US patent to manufacture the first riveted denim 'XX' waist overalls, later known as the original 501 jeans. Initially conceived as men's workwear, Levi's blue jeans gained mainstream acceptance as casual apparel post-World War II after famously outfitting the lone rangers of Western cinema and Old Hollywood bad boy James Dean. Later adopted by mid-century subcultures like the greasers, mods, and skinheads, the brand became synonymous with youth and rebellion. By the 1960s, Levi's denim became the uniform of counter-culture, cementing its reputation as one of the world's most iconic and ubiquitous items of clothing. Into the 21st century, Levi's continues to thrive on the classic, everyday quality of its denim wear.
There are currently no products available for Levi's Sweatshirts.

Over the next few days, you will be hearing a lot about the Eastleigh by-election. But what is a by-election and why do Eastleigh get one and not you? Don't worry, your questions are answered in this… Idiots' guide to the Eastleigh by-election
What is a by-election?
A by-election is like a general election, but only for people who elected someone with dubious moral standards the first time round. The term 'by-election' has caused some confusion in Eastleigh with the Conservative candidate hesitant to stand. 'I am totally against gay marriage on bigoted grounds so the thought of having an election for Bisexuals is hard to swallow. However it turns out it's a vote for anyone, so I will stand and fight for the swing voters'.
Where is Eastleigh?
A great question, that until recently not even all the candidates could answer. Eastleigh is in the county of Hampshire and is a short drive from Southampton. There have been some complaints that the Labour candidate would not be part of the community if elected. These fears were eased when the candidate promised to save Eastleigh on his TomTom and visit the town every night on Google maps.
Why does Eastleigh need a by-election?
As mentioned before, sometimes when people cast their vote in a general election, they chose the wrong answer. That's exactly what happened in Eastleigh in 2010. The outgoing MP suffered from an amazing case of amnesia regarding speeding points he passed to his wife. Luckily for everyone involved, his son managed to jog his memory with the clinically approved treatment of threats. To try and boost their chance of success, the Lib Dem candidate has had a CRB check, and urged Nick Clegg to stay away.
What do the parties stand for?
This handy 'one size fits all' manifesto should make everything a lot clearer for you.
The [insert party name] believe that growth in the local economy is the key to success in [insert town]. If elected, [insert candidate name] will be the voice of local people at a national level. [Insert candidate name] and the [insert party name] have listened to the constituents on the doorstep and know that things are hard for people in the current economic climate, but [insert name] will do everything in their power to ensure real change for the residents of [insert town name].
So there is your brief guide to the Eastleigh by-election. For those that are eligible, go and cast your vote. For those who are not eligible, if you want a by-election of your very own, go and find some dirt on your current MP and force them to resign. It shouldn't take too long.

I have a grid serving as the playing field for a simple Tower Defense game (it's not necessary to know the game genre, but it might help). I need each individual grid location to be a clickable object, hence why I'm trying to use JButtons. Each grid location has one out of many possible background sprites associated with it, which will be determined upon loading the given map. However, each grid location also can have an arbitrary-length hierarchy of objects contained inside of it, each with their own unique sprite (E.G: Each grid location may contain a Tower, which may contain a Weapon, and so on). These objects may or may not be present when the map is created, and will be both added and removed frequently after it has.
Unless I'm mistaken, a JButton may only contain a single Icon. My problem arises because I need to be able to layer several images on top of one another for each JButton, and I'm not entirely sure how to approach the problem.
I've done some research, and there are several ways that I've come up with to accomplish this:
- Combine the images and load them as a single Icon. Re-combine images and re-load a button whenever its grid location's contents change.
- Make each grid location a separate JPanel and override its paintComponent to draw the images from back to front. Use a transparent JButton on top of each grid location.
- A hybrid of the two: Have the front-most image be the JButton (the last to be drawn) and use an overridden paintComponent to draw the rest behind it.
I'm not experienced enough to know how well any of these would work. Are any of these non-starters or not worth the effort? What would be, in a more experienced programmer's opinion, the "best" solution in terms of expandability later? I don't need a working example or anything, I'd just like some advice as to which direction I should head in. I should be able to figure out a crude implementation on my own.
(I'm also worried about how I'm going to draw enemies at arbitrary locations on top of these grid locations, but I'll figure that out when I get there.)
I'd be happy to elaborate or try to whip up a code example for any of the above.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
It's such a beautiful time of the year. Wild plums (above) are in bloom here and there on the hillsides. They have a lovely fragrance that takes me back to my childhood. I may write about wild plums later today (or tomorrow, because I'm about to get very busy.) I have an abiding affection for this native fruit tree.
Daffodils still come up and bloom beneath the oak trees at this old homesite near Highway 68/80 east of Hopkinsville (below.) It's not too hard to imagine a little log cabin sitting on this knoll at the head of a draw* just above the Russellville Road. The ridge would have sheltered the house on three sides, especially to the north, and the trees behind would have helped to break winter winds. This building site had good feng-shui, I think.
*It occurs to me that I may be speaking some kind of a dialect when I say "at the head of a draw." I mean, at the upper end of a small valley.
Update: I noticed when I drove by there today that the old barn is still there, back in the trees just to the right of the area in the photo.

A retread spacecraft is headed for a Valentine's Day tryst with familiar comment, the spud-shaped Tempel 1.
NASA's Stardust-NExT spacecraft is slated to flit by the comet at 11:37 Eastern Standard Time Monday night, passing within 120 miles of the object's nucleus – an encounter that researchers hope will unlock some of the object's secrets and complete some unfinished business there.
It won't be NASA's first visit to the comet. The Deep Impact mission, launched in January 2005, sent a projectile into the comet's surface during a flyby on July 4 of that year.
That mission revealed a comet that was "unusually interesting," says the mission's lead researcher, Joseph Veverka, a planetary scientist at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.
Deep Impact beamed back images of a sculpted Tempel 1 nucleus hosting craters, long stretches of cliffs, sediment layering, and plateaus that look like debris flows.
Based on those images, researchers have gleaned that the comet "really has a geologic history; it's not just a fuzz ball" says Peter Schultz, a planetary scientist at Brown University and a member of both the Deep Impact and Stardust-NExT science teams.
And while Deep Impact's projectile slammed into the comet's surface as planned, the dust it kicked up obscured the crater it formed, preventing researchers from using the crater to better understand the structure of the nucleus and how firmly it's held together.
The Stardust-NExT team aims to get closer looks at these features in hopes of piecing together that history.
My how you've changed
Researchers want to compare images of the surface they gather with those beamed back from Deep Impact. The goal is to gauge the effects the comet's intervening travels have had on the nucleus.
And, if the craft and comet are oriented in just the right way, the crater generated by the Deep Impact projectile should be visible.
Tempel 1's nucleus is 4.7 miles long and 3 miles across at its widest point. The comet was discovered in 1867, but after several observations over the following 12 years, the comet seemed to vanish. It reappeared on astronomers photographic plates in 1967.
Astronomers traced Tempel 1's nearly century-long disappearance to changes Jupiter imposed on the comet's orbit.
Two close encounters with Jupiter toward the middle of the 20th century tweaked the comet's orbit again, giving it a return time of once every 5.5 years. The comet orbits the sun twice for every orbit Jupiter makes. And it moves from near Jupiter's orbit at its greatest distance from the sun to near the orbit of Mars as it swings behind the sun and heads back on its return trip.
The Stardust-NExT spacecraft has piled up mileage in it own right, logging some 3.7 billion miles since its launch as the Stardust mission in February 1999. Stardust sped through the cloud of dust and gas that surrounds the comet Wild 2 in January 2004, scooped up samples of the detritus, then headed back to Earth. As it sped past Earth in January 2006, it dropped off a capsule containing the samples, delivering the first pristine cometary material humans have ever had a chance to examine.
On to Tempel 1 ... again
That still left NASA with "a perfectly working spacecraft" and enough fuel to reach another target, Dr. Veverka says. With data from Deep Impact in hand, the team went to NASA and successfully pitched a plan to extend the mission to give comet Tempel 1 another look.
Since then, ground-based astronomers as well as researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope have been monitoring Tempel 1 to glean its rate of spin, frequently tweaked by the jets of gas it spews as it heads toward the sun and warms.
The goal is to predict an encounter time when the orientation of the nucleus with respect to the sun and to the spacecraft is most likely to "put the high-dollar real estate in sunlight facing the spacecraft at the flyby," explains Steven Chesley, a researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and one of the mission's scientists.
Fortunately, he says, Tempel 1 displays relatively easy-to-predict behavior, allowing the team to set up the spacecraft's rendezvous without having to make adjustments through fuel-costly maneuvers.
Whether controllers have set the mission up so the sun will shine where researchers hope it will remains to be seen.
If it turns out they miscalculated a bit, no worries, says Dr. Chesley.
"The alternative is not so bad. We'll get fantastic views of never-been-seen-before cometary terrain," he says.

Moroccan Oil is something that I'd always wanted to try but the price tag always put me off. £30 for a hair product seemed ridiculous to me. I jumped for joy when I saw a full size Moroccan Oil bottle in my Cosmo Blog Awards Goody Bag! I have very dry hair, it matts and tangles really easily. Doesn't help that I've bleached my hair a few times Ombre-ing it! I used to have little dreads in the back of my hair too, which despite being brushed out weekly would always come back.
When I use the Moroccan Oil, I will towel dry my hair a bit, then apply 4-6 pumps and run it through the ends of my hair up to about 4 inches away from the roots. I try and focus on the dry parts (the ends) and work it up. I then comb through and blow dry as normal. It doesn't feel greasy or sticky on the hair, and doesnt leave feeling slick or like it has product in it. Just smooth and frizz free.
Honestly, Moroccan Oil IS a miracle product, its completely transformed the texture of my hair and the overall feel of it. Its sleek, soft and smooth, My hair has honestly never felt so healthy. It used to be so hard to manage, now I honestly wonder why I went so long without it.Yes its expensive (you can buy a smaller size for around £12), but worth every penny. I would 100% buy this product when I run out. I've been using this about a month now and have used about 20ml or so of the product, so I think the full size will last a while. It really does live up to the hype in my eyes, and I cant recommend it enough if your hair type is like mine!

"Squash FS" is the name of a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. There are a number of such file systems available for Linux, including ROMFS, CRAMFS and SquashFS.
A compressed file system is interesting in embedded systems for reducing the overall size (in flash) of the Linux system. Squash FS is reported to have better compression capabilities than CRAMFS, which is a very popular
The Squash fs home page is at: Squash FS
There are no specifications on this technology.
- see the Squash fs download page for latest patches
Utility programs
The squashfs file release contains a README, the squashfs patch files, and the squashfs-tools directory (mksquashfs). Please see the INSTALL file for install instructions.
How To Use
See the Squash FS Howto:
- online version
- Squash FS Howto page (copy of document in this wiki - may be out of date)
Sample Results
Here are brief summaries for 2 large file systems, saved using a variety of file system types.
This information was provided by Phillip Lougher.
Ubuntu liveCD compression results
ext3 uncompressed size 1.4 GB ISO9660 uncompressed size 1.3 GB Zisofs compressed size 589.81 MB Cloop compressed size 471.89 MB Squashfs2.0 compressed size 448.58 MB Squashfs2.1 compressed size 448.58 MB
Damn Small Linux liveCD compression results
ext3 uncompressed size 126 MB CRAMFS compressed size 52.19 MB Squashfs2.0 compressed size 46.52 MB Squashfs2.1 compressed size 46.52 MB
File System Performance
There is performance data for these file systems on the page SquashFsComparisons.
lzma data comparison
Here is some information that was posted recently on the squashfsmailing list by Oleg Vdovikin:
> # du -s target > 7836 target > # ls -l target.* > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2842788 Aug 27 17:54 target.cramfs > -rwx------ 1 root root 2449408 Jan 26 13:19 target.sqshfs > -rwx------ 1 root root 2060288 Jan 26 13:21 target.lzmafs > > So, lzma for this filesystem gives 84% of original size. For bigger > filesystem I've got 82%.
Future Work/Action Items
Here is a list of things that could be worked on for this feature:
- there was a report in August, 2004 of problems with squashfs on PPC. see here (at bottom of page)
- there was a suggestion to use LZMA compression for version 3.0 of squashfs - see here
Notes on compression
From: John Richard Moser <nigele...@comcast.net> Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 18:20:11 +0200 Subject: Re: Compressed filesystems: Better compression? Matti Aarnio wrote: | Compression algorithms are a bit tough to be used in a random access | smallish blocks environments. In long streams where you can use megabytes | worth of buffer spaces there is no problem is achieving good performance. | But do try to do that in an environment where your maximum block size | is, say: 4 kB, and you have to start afresh at every block boundary. Yes of course. I've seen the compressed page cache patch do this and get fair peformance (10-20%), though on double size blocks (8KiB) it manages almost twice as good (20-50%, averaged around 30% IIRC). Not great, but not bad. On compressed filesystems you can work with 64k or 128k blocks. Somewhere around 32-64k is usually optimal; you're not going to see great improvements using 1M blocks instead of 512k blocks. | Whatever algorithms you use, there will always be data sequences that | are of maximum entropy, and won't compress. Rather they will be | presented in streams as is with a few bytes long wrappers around | them. Yes, an intelligent algorithm decides that if the underlying compression algorithm used produces no results, it just marks the block as uncompressed and stores it as such. ZLIB does this if the block gets bigger. LZMA might not; but higher level intrinsics (block headers) could handle that easy (as you said).

ATLANTA, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A flu shot can reduce the risk a person gets the flu, make the flu less severe if caught and help those who can't be vaccinated, a U.S. health official says.
Anne Schuchat, assistant surgeon general of the U.S. Public Health Service and director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said there's a menu of vaccines this year.
"With the nasal spray, you sniff and you're done. There's also a version with a shorter needle. There is a vaccine that protects against four versions of the flu and one that protects against three. The choices depend on your needs," Schuchat said in a statement.
"That first cough or fever is not the time to think about influenza vaccination. Today is the time to start thinking about it, and to make the time for yourself and those you love."
It takes two weeks for the body to develop the antibodies to the strains of influenza in the flu shot that provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.
However, the crucial thing is to just get vaccinated, Schuchat said.
Not everyone can get vaccinated against influenza. Infants under the age of six months or those immuno-compromised cannot get the yearly flu vaccine. They must depend on others to be vaccinated because if enough in the community develop immunity to the flu via the vaccination, the better their chances they won't sick from the flu.
