Teresa Briggs arrived at the University of Arizona as a first-generation college student and quickly caught the Wildcat spirit, serving as a cheerleader from her freshman through junior years.
After graduating with a degree in accounting, Briggs accepted a position with Deloitte in San Francisco, where she began a steady climb through the leadership ranks. In 2006, she was named Silicon Valley managing partner and was charged with doubling Deloitte's Silicon Valley practice. She succeeded.
Briggs was named the first female managing partner in the 100-year history of Deloitte's Bay Area office. Two years later, she became the vice chair and West Region managing partner, in which role she helps drive national and regional strategy. In recognition of her achievements, Briggs has been named a Woman of Influence in both San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
Throughout her career, and while maintaining a family, her dedication to the UA has not wavered. Briggs travels regularly to Tucson to speak to undergraduate audit classes. She is a member of the UA Eller College of Management's board of advisers and has made regular and significant financial donations to the college.
For her inspiring professional success and her steadfast support of the UA and the Eller College of Management, the college has named Briggs its 2015 Alumna of the Year.
The UA Alumni Association will honor all recipients of the 2015 Alumni of the Year Awards during an Oct. 23 event to be held 3-5 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center. For more information, contact the Alumni Association at 520-621-7576.

French Proficiency with EntreCultures (18 minutes)
EntreCultures and the Learning Site (15 minutes)
- Authentic audio-visual and print resources from over thirty Francophone cultures around the world
- Proficiency-based with a focus on intercultural communicative competence
- Six thematic units leading with essential questions and incorporating AP® Global themes and IB themes
- Unit-embedded Can-Do statements and an online Mon dossier to track performance
- Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs)
- Annotated Teacher Edition
- Online Explorer course for student and teacher support
The standards-based EntreCultures program is all about teaching French language and culture to novice through intermediate students through the lens of interculturality. Students discover appropriate ways to interact with others whose perspectives may be different from their own by exploring the lives of real people from the entire francophone world.
In level 2, students develop the language skills, personal attitudes, and cultural insights necessary to experience life entre cultures using French to connect with people and their own community. Vocabulary and grammar are presented in context. The online Explorer provides all audio-visual resources, scaffolding, vocabulary, and grammar reinforcement, including flipped classroom videos, with all activities tied to the Mon dossier to upload performance evidence.
EntreCultures 2 supports teachers in assessing what learners can do with the language they have acquired through three differentiated formative performance-based assessments and a summative IPA per unit. IPA-specific, analytic, and holistic performance rubrics accompany this series in print and online, so teachers and students can stay on track. Units are clearly organized with ample print and online student and teacher support.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to start planning how you can incorporate EntreCultures 2 into your classroom!
What People Are Saying
I can't write enough about how great EntreCultures is. I love that it has the themes and the essential questions from the AP, starting in level one! It is so much more "real" to have alll the lessons in context, meaningful, relevant, connected and correlated in a manner that gears students for higher level thinking and learning. By the time they take AP, they will be so prepared.
With units built around rich cultural topics and compelling essential questions, EntreCulturas and EntreCultures are the perfect fit for our IB Middle Years Programme. We love the focus on development of both language and cultural proficiency and the wide range of communicative learning activities that work as well in middle school as they do for high school learners.


text: The Senate Banking Committee ordered Wall Street fuck-up and J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to testify Wednesday on how his bank managed to turn over $2 billion into poop and whether this latest round of derivative market gambles equivalent to staking money on Peggy Noonan's sobriety should, in fact, necessitate a few moderate regulations to prevent such things in future. Just kidding, please drug test yourself immediately for meth if you thought this would happen. Famous idiot Senator Jim DeMint used Dimon's visit to hold a whiny losers support group meeting. "We can hardly sit in judgement of your losing $2 billion," said DeMint. "We lose twice that every day here in Washington and plan to continue to do that every day." Did we say support group? We meant a slippery, wrinkled white orgy, and that was foreplay. We discourage you from reading the following filth on a work computer. READ MORE »

These Steel Boxes are a perfect alternative for the commonly used wooden boxes. The major advantage of these Steel Boxes is, that they are foldable.
The Steel Boxes can be delivered in various sizes and box-wall types. This makes them very well applicable for the storage of different kind of crops. The steel walls are covered with soft polymer mesh, so your stored crop is perfectly protected against possible damage.
Empty boxes can easily be folded and take up less space and are easier and cheaper to transport.
Steel Boxes are hygienic; they are easy to clean and there is less
chance of fungus.
Another advantage is, that the Steel Boxes are stackable, both folded and unfolded.

From Bob Gramann: "The Rappahannock River is a mid-sized river in Virginia and my home town stream. The Rappahannock Guitar is mid-sized (about the size of an 000) and an excellent compromise between ergonomics and sound. I use a Rappahannock in my gigs--the sound and size fit me just right. All of these have a big voice and a full tone. They have a 24.9 scale length allowing the top to be lightly braced providing easy fingering and the loudest notes possible."
#113 is a lefty cutaway with back and sides of Osage Orange. 1 3/4" nut. Hard case included.
Bob Gramann is a respected luthier throughout the midatlantic region. Based in Fredericksburg, VA, he has been building guitars since 1992 and has been a player for over 40 years.
Built with the fingerpicker in mind, each of these instruments sings louder than than its size. The top braces on all are scalloped and the bridges are carved to be light to allow the top to respond quickly to both high and low notes. The saddles are tall allowing easy picking and a strong response to a soft touch. The models are named after rivers in Virginia.
Bob says "Most important is achieving such a rich, full sound that it is loud enough for performances without amplification. Amazingly, even tiny adjustments can enhance both tone and volume, producing a responsive instrument that feels good to play. Building these "live" guitars has become almost an obsession. Any idea for a new feature or an improvement means I have to build a guitar to try it out. I build only a few instruments each year, so I have always tried to build something I would want to play. So far, I feel successful. And, I feel honored by the great players that have bought my instruments."

The way we go about our business is also important to us. We passionately believe in respecting our customers and our promises.
We're always working to reduce the effect of energy-guzzling refrigerated displays in the UK. We stick to this principle not just when we're finding solutions on existing refrigeration, but also in all the new cabinets we offer.
Choosing and manufacturing only equipment that is genuinely low energy, while still keeping products competitive, is not always easy. But we try to balance our offer to provide sensible energy savings, without increasing the payback too much.
We at Pastorfrigor GB Limited are passionate about energy-efficient refrigerated equipment.
Pastorfrigor was formed in 1964 as the result of a resourceful idea by Bruno Pastorello
He decided to increase his business from local trade of shelving for shops to distribution of refrigerated serve over counters. It was a winning idea and, in 1966, he started to produce his first refrigerated serve over counters, display cases and cabinets, completely designed in a factory in Casale Monferrato.
1970s – 1980s
After a year, San Giorgio Monferrato plant was open, covering over 1,800 square metres and helping the Company to meet the growing market demand. 1973 marked another important step in Pastorfrigor history: the beginning of its expansion abroad and the opening of French, Belgian, Swiss and Israeli markets.
The traditional refrigerated serve over counter, specifically those for meat and deli shops, together with the implementation of the product range with plug-in units (like back counter units and wall cabinets), have led Pastorfrigor to become a leading brand both in Italy and abroad. This successful trend had been lasting during all the 70s, and in 1983 it was necessary to expand San Giorgio Monferrato plant up to 5,000 square meters.
In 1992, Pastorkalt was founded in Slovakia, at first as a joint-venture for assembling, but later soon it turned into a stand-alone company for design and production, and competitive worldwide.
In 1997 Pastorfrigor moved to Terruggia, 10 kilometres far from Casale Monferrato; here a new production plant was built and also set up as the company headquarters. Due to the following implementations, it has reached 17,000 squared metres indoor at present.
The same year, Pastorfrigor acquired the majority of Pannelli Isolanti srl, a company specialized in the manufacturing of cold rooms and located in San Giorgio Monferrato. The purpose was to complete the product range and satisfy all the needs coming from the refrigeration business.

Internal Parasites In Sheep
There are a number of important internal parasites in sheep. Bimectin Injection is licensed for the treatment and control of many of these.
Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcincta
This small brown stomach worm is one of the most economically important gastro-intestinal (abomasal) nematode parasites of sheep in many regions. Its life-cycle is similar to Ostertagiosis in cattle, as are the symptoms.
Haemonchus contortus
The Haemonchus contortus is also known as the Barber's Pole worm. This parasite is very obvious to the naked eye. A blood sucking parasite, it can cause severe anaemia and death. In acute cases, death can be sudden.
The symptoms of sub-acute infections are similar to those for liver fluke infection, such as bottle jaw. Symptoms of chronic infections are weight loss, poor condition, bottle jaw and a general failure to perform. In contrast to other endo-parasitic infections, diarrhoea is not a symptom of Haemonchus contortus infection and animals are actually more likely to suffer constipation.
Haemonchosis also unusual in that it can cause disease in adults as well as young sheep as they do not develop immunity after exposure.
Haemonchus eggs and larvae do not survive well on pasture over winter so their main way of survival from year to year is via hypobiosis. Haemonchus prefers warmer conditions so it is most commonly associated with warmer climates. However it is now widespread and often occurs in flocks in cool temperate regions now also.
Parasites of The Small Intestine:
Trichostrongylus spp
This parasite causes the black scour traditionally seen in the autumn in store lambs. Now it is frequently encountered earlier in the summer months, causing losses in younger lambs. Conversely, in mild winters, it has been shown to continue with its lifecycle, causing severe disease during the winter and early spring months.
Nematodirus battus
Also known as the thin-necked intestinal worm, Nematodirus battus is a particularly nasty disease in lambs. It will stunt growth and, in a very high number of cases, result in death.
The difficulty with this worm is that it has a different life-cycle to other sheep worms and under certain climatic conditions can strike very quickly, with no warning signs in the lambs this means that sheep farmers have to be on their guard.
The main advantage that Nematodirus has compared with other parasitic worms, is that development to an infective larvae takes place within the egg, meaning that once they hatch in warmer weather they are immediately infective to grazing lambs. In this way, infection passes from one lamb crop to the next year's crop.
Before they can hatch, the eggs have to undergo a period of cold weather followed by warmer temperatures of 10oC or more. If these conditions occur over a short period of time, triggering a mass hatch, the result can be devastating if it coincides with the time when lambs are starting to take in significant amounts of grass.
High risk factors for Nematodirus Battus:
- Lambs grazing pasture that carried lambs the previous spring
- A sudden, late cold snap which is followed by a period of warm weather
- Lambs that are old enough to be eating significant amounts of (6–12 weeks old)
- Groups where there is also likely to be a challenge from Coccidiosis
- Lambs that are under other stresses e.g. triplets, fostered, on young or older ewes
The damage to lambs is done by massive numbers of immature larvae and can be astonishingly rapid. This means that farmers cannot afford to wait for symptoms to appear in their lambs. Unfortunately we cannot rely on faecal egg-count monitoring to time Nematodirus treatments, as the disease is mainly caused by worm larvae, and significant damage can occur before eggs appear in the faeces. Historically seen as a spring problem, Nematodirus Battus is now seen at varying times of the year.

Beginning July 1 of 2016 the SOLAS Container Weight Verification Requirement becomes mandatory for all shippers, freight forwarders, vessel operators and terminal operators. The rule was implemented due to undeclared goods, violations involving dangerous goods, and improperly packed or incorrectly declared container loads. These violations jeopardize the center of gravity of the vessel and create instability, putting the vessel at risk of capsizing.
The new revision to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) places the burden or requirement on the shipper, regardless of who packed the container. Under this new rule there will be two acceptable methods of verifying weight.
Method 1: Weighing the packed container using certified and calibrated equipment
Method 2: Weighing each item of cargo that will be paced into the container (ex: pallets, cartons, dunnage, packing and bracing material) and those weights to the weights to the tare weight of the container. Method 2 is not to be used for bulk cargo (ex: bulk grain, scrap metal, etc.)
Estimating weight is not permitted. There is no exception to this requirement.
The U.S. has required weighing containers for years therefore it will not have the same impact on the U.S. as it will on foreign countries. Many countries have pushed against the rule due to increased costs. Many ports outside the U.S. do not have the infrastructure in place to comply with the new rule. The new container weighing requirement will force them to upgrade their facilities and hire/train additional personnel to oversee the container weighing process. Method 2 will be beneficial for those foreign countries allowing them time to correct their infrastructure and train proper personnel. Compliance with the new rule will bring safety for the shippers, safety for the crew, safety for the carriers and a reduction in damaged cargo.
The benefits from the successful execution of the container weight rules are all safety driven; decreased accidents, decrease in lost cargo, decreased wait times at the port, decrease damage to containers. Compliance will provide global uniformity to container weighing which will benefit shippers, carriers and the vessels' crew.

This subwoofer box was created to match and aid the 1.618 Hi-Vi 3-way tower loudspeakers. The main focus of the HiVi 10" subwoofer was to reproduce ultra low frequencies that the 1.618 could not reproduce and aid in overall low end musical reproduction. Low, flat and not "boomy" was priority one. This subwoofer project uses the 10" subwoofer driver which can deliver plenty of bottom end.
The enclosure design and model frequency response are shown below.
- 10" 4 ohm subwoofer
- O-Audio 500 Watt plate amplifier
- Freq Response: 25Hz up to chosen x-over point.
- Overall Dimension: 21"x 12.75"x 20"

Hyperthyroidism is an excess of the thyroid hormone, thyroxin. Thyroxin determines how quickly your pet burns fuel and makes energy. Because every cell in the body burns fuel, every cell is affected by hyperthyroid disease, but the first sign we often notice is how thin the pet is despite having a ravenous appetite.
Over the last few years, the incidence of hyperthyroid disease has markedly increased in cats (Feline Hyperthyroid Disease). Some believe that hyperthyroid disease is caused, in part, by the chemicals in the plastic liners in canned cat foods. In the few dogs that develop this disease, thyroid cancer may be the cause.
For cats, especially older cats, feline hyperthyroidism is very common; however, there is no breed predisposition. Dogs rarely develop hyperthyroid disease.

Apparently after discovering Undertale, I think that I may get into a conflict between myself and the fandom attached to it... Thus, I planned to change my name to Archaeo, short for Archaeopteryx... but I can't right now.
Anyways, production may be going well by summer, but less frequent during schooldays. Expect more from me if I can manage my time well.

Ah yes, Apple does so many things well. The iCloud integration between iDevices works well. Photostream works well. iPhoto, Garageband and Keynote for iOS work well. Find my Phone works well. I could fill a few pages with lists of things Apple does well. What does not work well in my opinion is the iTunes Store. Here are 3 problems that Apple should fix and soon.
1. My iTunes should speak many languages
I want to be able to use the Austrian iTunes Store in English rather than in German, as the former is my mother tongue. This should be easy, right?
But no, it is not possible to customize languages for your local iTunes Store. This must be quite prohibitive for people who live in a country and do not speak the local language – like expats or temporary workers. Apple has a support page on this question, but explains quite officially that the countries have a preset language assigned to them.
We need to be able to customize languages in any iTunes Store of the world. This cannot be hard to do.
2. Gift cards for other country iTunes accounts
My sister got an iPad for her birthday 2 weeks ago and I thought I'd start her off well with a €20 gift card. I live in Austria and have the Austrian Store. She lives in Trinidad and has the Trinidad Store. This is should be an easy thing, right? Apple should have figured this out already, right?
As it turns out, the answer is "wrong". I navigated over the the "Buy iTunes Gifts" link, got my options and chose a gift card to send by email. It took all of 2 minutes. But when she got it we noticed my error. It did not work for her.
Only in the very fine print is it mentioned that gift cards and coupons are only available in the Austrian store. Nowhere during the purchasing process was I informed of this. Talk about MAJOR FAIL!
Gift my sister something from iTunes? It turns out, it's Just Not Possible. Of course I know that Apple does not "want" people to have accounts for different country stores and control this by requiring a credit card with residency in the country in question. But what I did not know that it is not even possible to gift someone from another country.
What we need is, quite simply, a way to gift someone from another country – international gift cards.
3. International iTunes Accounts
So there I was – €20 short and still no gift card for my sister. Then I had an idea. Why not ask for her access to the Trinidad Store and see if it were possible to gift her a card using my credit card details. This should be possible, right? Apple should offer this, right?
It was then I discovered not all stores are created equal. When I logged onto her account and entered the Trinidad Store for the first time, there was no option to gift anything. Indeed the Store is quite bare, compared to the Austrian or US Store. No music, no movies, no TV shows. Just Apps, Books, Podcasts. And most importntly – no gifts. It is not even possible to gift my sister something from her own bloody Store. Come on Apple, this is 2012. I realize it's tough to negotiate licensing agreements with hundreds of countries but really? No music, no movies and no darn gifts? See the iTunes Store pages for Austria, U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago below:
What we need are inter-country or International iTunes accounts. I want to be able to legally and freely access content available elsewhere and download them for myself. And I want to be able to buy a gift for my sister from her own store, using my credit card details. It can't be that hard.
My Solution
The situation being described as above, I resorted to something Apple definitely would not condone but which we practice anyway, especially between my husband and myself. We simply use one iTunes account connected to my credit card for purchases. I sent my sister my access details, she logged on to the Austrian Store, redeemed the gift card and started downloading things she was interested in.
This was a double blessing in a sense. I did not have to ask for a refund for the gift card I had bought but which was useless, it was back onto my iTunes account. And in the bargain she got access to the many hundreds of free and payable apps that I have already downloaded. I intend to allow her to download until the €20 are spent, then I will change my password.
What bothers me is that I had to find a very roundabout solution to what was essentially a very easy task.
And it bothers me that 11 years after its introduction, iTunes still does not have an elegant and easy solution to the above problems. Here's to hoping that among the things Apple has in store for this year that will "blow our minds" will include some long awaited innovation to the iTunes Store.
What would you like to see fixed in the iTunes Store?

Spline now 80% complete …
Hi all,
Over the last few months, I have completed all spline work within the Ardglen area, including the ballast sidings, and also to a point about halfway between Ardglen and Pangela.
This now means I have completed construction of 80% of total spline, which equates to 292 feet (88.5 metres) with just 74 feet (22.5 metres) of spline left to build through Pangela and to connect up to the helix.
The two images below are views of Ardglen from either end, showing the storage and goods sidings.
The next image is a shot further down the grade from Ardglen, looking back towards the ballast sidings coming off the quarry road.
The next image shows the shunting neck at the end of the quarry road.
The next image shows a general view of the section above Temple Court. I have yet to finalise setting the grade in this section. Temple Court has been covered with drop sheets to protect the scenery from dust and dirt whilst working above.
The next series of images show the spline from Ardglen tunnel through to a point about halfway to Pangela.
Upper deck progress …
Hi all,
Since my last post, I have been busy with work on the upper deck above the Chilcott's Ck to Kankool section.
To support the upper deck valance and future lighting, steel brackets were fabricated from second hand 20x20mm square tube, along with bracing made from thin steel plate.
A simple timber jig was made to hold the pieces of tube in place whilst the brace plate was attached using pop rivets.
These brackets were then screwed to the wall at strategic locations at wall studs.
After the initial installation of these brackets, I discovered a potential flaw in my design. The two rivets fixing the brace plate to the vertical tube were shearing off with only minimal downward force being exerted at the outer end of the horizontal tube. Now, I'm not sure whether it was actual rivet failure or what, so I decided to replace these rivets with a 3/16" bolt/spring washer/nut combination. The result is a much stronger feeling bracket.
I had also decided to install a ceiling above each scene, as I didn't fancy the idea of being able to see the open benchwork when looking along the scene from one end. Once painted, I also think it will assist in spreading the light onto the scene.
The ceiling is made from sheets of 3.2mm MDF (2440x1220mm). This required the installation of a timber sub-frame built around the steel brackets to allow for the securing of the ceiling. 2×1 DAR pine was used.
More framing was also installed in the corner to support the backscene and ceiling.
A ceiling section was cut to size from the MDF and secured to the timber frame using Liquid Nails and small gauge countersunk screws. The adhesive was also applied to the steel tube. Temporary supports were used to hold the ceiling in place whilst fixing the screws. After the screws were installed, extra temporary supports were fitted to force the ceiling against the steel tube whilst the adhesive cured.
The ceiling section in the corner proved to be quite tricky to cut to size, but by using accurate measurements, I ended up with a piece that fitted perfectly.
A couple more sections of backscene was also installed, including the piece in the corner.
These sections of backscene have no need to extend completely down to the benchwork, as the track level will be around where the lower edge of the MDF is in the picture above, and the majority of scenery here behind the track will be hills covered with trees.
I also started playing around with how I will locate the Kankool lever frame into the fascia. The picture below shows a mock-up of what I hope to achieve.
The MDF immediately behind the frame will be the scene fascia and the curved piece in front is to indicate another section of fascia that will serve as 'protection' for the frame. More on this later.
Layout progress update …
Hi all,
Apologies for the lack of updates since early Dec last year. I have been busy with some scenery in the Temple Court section as well as some more benchwork and spline construction.
Temple Court scenery
I've made a start on some static grass application but have not done much since Christmas. It's been tricky getting the look and colours right, but I think it will look OK as it progresses.
Some pics below of the progress so far.
I still haven't done any more with the rocky outcrop, but you can see lots of plaster castings sitting around for inspiration.
Lower level backscene, upper deck benchwork and spline
I also started installing the backscene from staging through Kankool, including the entry from staging onto the Chilcott's Ck bridge scene.
The last picture above shows the new supports installed for the upper deck above Kankool as well for backscene support. As mentioned previously, I am using 3mm MDF as the backscene and this will be painted with the sky colour.
I had always planned to work on the lower deck scenery and trackwork from Chilcott's Ck bridge to Ardglen first before the upper deck, mainly due to thinking I would have access issues on the lower deck for scenery work if I built the upper deck benchwork. In the last few weeks I have since decided to progress with upper deck benchwork, spline and scenery from Ardglen through to Pangela as the next stage.
This all came about after I had started to think about getting the bridge in place and laying track from staging through Kankool. But I realised that this may not be such a good idea as once the bridge was installed, and I had scenery in place, I would be working above all this with the ever present danger of things falling on the scene below.
So, the decision was made to continue with upper deck benchwork above Kankool and around to Pangela as well with spline construction from Ardglen to Pangela.
As I had already built the benchwork for Ardglen and the section above Chilcott's Ck to Kankool some time ago (see previous post), I started to lay out the spline in this area.
As mentioned above, the plan is to continue with upper deck benchwork all the way from Kankool through Pangela and to build the spline from Ardglen to Pangela, then start on basic scenery formation. Once all the messy stuff with plaster is done on the upper deck, I'll probably then look at getting the Chilcott's Ck bridge installed and continuing with scenery through Kankool and beyond towards Ardglen.
Cheers for now.
A revised 'new location' – Temple Court …
Hi all,
Well things have been pretty quiet since my post in late August. During September, myself, Jodi and Connor went to the United Kingdom for a holiday. We all had a great time but were glad to be home after being away for a month.
Work on the layout was pretty much non existent since we returned in early October, but a few weeks ago Andrew and I cut up some masonite sheets for more supplies of spline strips, and this spurred me on to complete the section of spline from the bottom of the helix round to the Down storage yard.
Since my post way back in January this year about incorporating an additional crossing loop in this section, I have since changed my mind again and decided to just make it a scene from the area around Temple Court, which is between Pangela and Murrurundi. The main reason for not going ahead with Wingen, is that trains just wouldn't have been in the right context for that location (I know – picky, picky! ). If an UP train was being banked in the front all the way from Willow Tree, the bank engines, which were sometimes attached "in the shafts", normally would have been detached at Murrurundi, and therefore a train with bank engines attached would have looked out of place at Wingen, which is further south from Murrurundi.
I had come across a couple of great pictures showing a big granite rocky outcrop at Temple Court that was just begging to be modelled.

I have also laid down the foam roadbed in this section in preparation for commencement of laying down the Central Valley tie strips. The photo below shows the foam in place on top of the spline.
I also installed a few more sections of the PECO flextrack from where I finished off when tracklaying in the helix. See previous post.
There will be one more length of flextrack installed than in the photo above, which will be close to where this section of track will emerge into the new Temple Court scene. The CV track will then be laid all the way back to the staging yards.
Over the next few weeks, I plan to carry out some tests on painting the CV track in readiness for laying. I will keep you all updated as that progresses.
Spline continues …
Hi all,
I have now completed full spline past the teardrop on the main peninsula. Since the last post, I installed the temporary joists to support the spline up to and around the teardrop.
As described previously, the first job is to set out the two centre strips, held in place by nails and temporarily clamped together. Then, using a plywood template set to 40 inch radius, the centre strips are then adjusted to the correct radius. Once the final position of the spline looks OK, the centre strips are glued and clamped together. Then the normal process of attaching the spacer blocks and the other spline strips continues.
Just to finish off, following a request from a fellow modeller, here is a shot of the track plan showing spline progress to date. The red line shows where I am currently up to, and shows a distance of 92 feet of spline completed.
Peninsula benchwork complete …
Hi all,
Since the last post, I have been quite busy. I have commenced more spline construction round the corner from Kankool onto the first peninsula section. I have also now completed the second peninsula with wall frame. Below are some shots of the benchwork during construction.
I am amazed at how sturdy the whole structure is now it is complete. I was thinking I may have had to secure the wall to the floor joists above the ceiling tiles, but I found there is no need to. To give some idea of size, this main peninsula is 8 metres long.
Just to finish off this post, the above photo shows the spline continuing along the first peninsula section from Kankool and onto the main peninsula.
It's amazing now that I have most of the main benchwork up, how I can get more of a picture of how the layout will look. Up until now, it's just been a two dimensional drawing; very difficult to imagine how things will look. But now I'm starting to visualise scenery and track elevations. All good fun!!
Kankool spline finished …
Hi all,
Well, I have finally completed the section of spline through Kankool. As mentioned previously, this section has been slow going because, as can be seen, there has been quite a lot of gluing and clamping required, but the end result is very pleasing.
This shot also shows the effectiveness of spline to achieve flowing curves with easements, something that would be very difficult to do cutting out from plywood.
The roadbed is still only on temporary risers/joists at the moment, until I get more spline built so that I can start to set the grade from the bridge. The top surface of the spline is yet to be 'smoothed' off prior to laying track.
Another view of the spline through Kankool towards where it turns left along the first peninsula.
The next task is to set out the next peninsula so I can continue with the spline. Over the next few months, I may make a start on some scenery, if not the Chilcotts Creek bridge.
Spline roadbed Part III …
Hi all,
Well, things have been progressing really well on the spline since my last post. Spline is in place all the way to the first turnout at Kankool now, where I have split the spline. But first, some pictures of the construction sequence so far.
After the two centre strips are in place and glued, the next step was to attach the spacer blocks. These were placed at 100mm intervals.
The glue I am using is a polyurethane product from the SIKA range. I was originally going to use a Liquid Nails type adhesive, but this is not very easy to dispense from the caulking gun and it 'skins' pretty quickly once exposed to the air. The SIKA stuff is not cheap at around $15 per 500g bottle, but as I am using only small amounts, I think it will go a long way. It also says, as it cures, it slightly expands into the timber grain to achieve better adhesion. It is also waterproof.
The next step was to work out the position of the bridge. After allowing for the abutments, I worked out where I would terminate the spline either side. Then came the installation of the outside spline strips. These would go up to the start of the bridge only, as I couldn't see the point in continuing the full spline across the bridge gap, only to remove it later for the bridge. The centre spline however did go across the gap only for alignment purposes for the continuation of the spline on the other side.
The process is quite slow, as I have been allowing at least 3 hours for each glue/clamp process before proceeding, although whilst one section is gluing, I can be gluing more spacer blocks in place for the next section. It all depends on how many clamps you have! I try to glue and clamp as much as I can in one session.
The photo below shows where I was up to on the 18th. Full spline from the storage yards to about two thirds the way along the wall towards Kankool. In the background, note the location of the bridge where the centre spline only is present. This section has now been cut away. Note how nice flowing curves can be achieved with spline roadbed.
During the week, I also erected the next section of benchwork where Kankool will be (well, half of it anyway!). Longer shelf brackets were used here, as this section of the layout will be deeper than where the bridge is. Again, L girders were made from 3×1 and 2×1 DAR pine. Temporary joists were placed to allow for spline construction. These will probably be relocated as I set the elevation of the spline later. Work on the spline continued around the corner and up to where the first turnout will be at Kankool.
Over the last few days, I have been working out how to make the spline through the turnout area. Whilst researching spline construction on the net, I have come across a number of articles which have helped in the process. One of these was very comprehensive, and is here as a PDF. There is a section in the article about how to make spline under turnouts, so I have tried the method which involves splitting the centre spline strips so one continues straight and the other one follows the diverging route through the turnout. Hopefully this is explained better in the pictures below.
As with previous sections of spline, the two centre strips are located on the track centreline and held with nails. I then placed a drawing of the 1 in 8 turnout over the top to work out its location. It was then placed underneath the spline so I could line up the strips. As can be seen, the outside strip has been split away from the other one to follow the diverging route. Then it's just a matter of starting the spline again within the turnout, all the time holding it in position with nails. Then more spacer blocks and continue on with the spline down both routes. At this point, I'll only be completing spline up to this turnout, as I want to build the next section of benchwork for the next half of Kankool, so I can get the curve correct and around into the centre peninsular.
Finally, to finish this post, a few shots back at the bridge area. I took the plunge and cut away the section of centre spline through the bridge gap and commenced setting the first section of spline on risers at the correct elevation. Once the first section was cut away at the bridge, I then had to work out how I was going to attach the spline to the storage yard plywood. With the ply being 9mm thick and the foam underlay being 3.5mm, I had to remove 5.5mm from the top of the spline at the storage yard end for about 100mm. I ended up taking the section outside and placing it in a jig to allow a small router to be set at the correct depth. It ended up working out nicely. The spline was then placed back in situ and test fitted. PERFECT!! I then cut some risers from 2×1 DAR and set the height of this section to 42", same as the storage yards. That means that the grade now begins from the Kankool side of the bridge, as in the prototype. This meant I had to recalculate the overall grade from the bridge to Ardglen in 3rdPlanit, but it hadn't changed all that much. This section of spline has not been attached to the risers just yet. The first shot shows the spot where the bridge will go, showing completed spline either side. The second shows the spline in its final location on the risers. The third is a close-up of where the spline meets the ply, showing the difference in height to allow for the foam on top of the spline.
Cheers for now.
Spline roadbed Part II …
Hi all,
Today saw the installation of the first section of spline. YAY!
I went to the hardware store to get some 6mm masonite to use for the spacer blocks, but could not find any. So I ended up getting a sheet of 1200 x 600 x 6mm exterior 5-ply. When I did the drawings for the spline last night, I was envisaging using 50mm long spacers. So I cut the ply into 50mm wide strips, and then docked these off to 25mm wide, same as the spline height.
After docking about half a dozen ply strips, I then realised that 50mm would probably be too long for around the curves, so I test fitted a piece against my 40 inch radius template and found this to be correct. So I then proceeded to cut a quantity of the spacers in half which will work better on the curves. I'll still be able to use the 50mm ones on straight sections and gentler curves.
I then spent a few hours trying to get the first curve from the storage yard correct. In the original plan, I wasn't going to model the bridge over Chilcott's Creek, which is at the start of the 1 in 40 climb to Ardglen. After taking some pictures of it last week on the way back from a few days at Dubbo, I am now going to model this bridge.
After looking at Google Maps, I calculated that the bridge is 150 feet long with 5 spans each of 30 feet. Micro Engineering make a 30 foot long plate girder bridge so I am looking at using this. More on this bridge later.
Anyway, back to the spline. After some tweaking of the track plan to allow for the bridge and moving it slightly more towards the front of the layout, I came up with a slightly revised track layout for this section along the wall to Kankool. It's not that much different from the diagram I have posted previously, but that is the beauty of using spline, in that it can be adjusted as you go.
After making some centreline marks on the benchwork, I then devised a method to hold the spline underneath the storage yard ply just until the spline is complete, and then it will be raised to the correct elevation.
I cut a short piece of L-girder that I had made previously. This was clamped basically in line with the easement on top of the ply, then the first piece of spline was clamped here.
At the marks on the joists made previously, I drilled a small hole to allow for a nail to be inserted on the outside of the spline to hold its position.
Once this first piece was in position, another piece of strip was cut a bit shorter so the joins are staggered, and was glued and clamped to the first piece.
This first pair of strips forms the centre of the spline. This will be left to set overnight, and tomorrow I'll add the spacer blocks and more strips and see how it looks. The short joist at an angle is the start of a tangent section of track where the bridge will be located.
Cheers for now.
Storage yards benchwork complete …
Hi all,
Just a quick post today. I have completed the benchwork for the storage yards, and applied a coat of undercoat this afternoon.
I decided to paint the plywood for a number of reasons.
- To seal the timber to help keep the dust down
- To make an easier surface for laying out the track centrelines
- To get rid of the bare timber look
Over the weekend I hope to add a colour coat and then next week will begin the marking out of track centrelines and hopefully start laying some track.
Cheers for now.

I can not stress the importance of having a work plan enough, for the new Internet Marketer. When starting out we do not know enough about the processes involved, and we want to see some sort of instant pay back. The problem with this is that we then lack the patience and perseverance to keep at it enough to succeed.
Internet Marketing is a little like riding a bike or learning to swim. It really is not that hard once you understand what you are trying to do, but like riding a mono cycle or juggling you have to get what you do right or it will not work! This in a nutshell is why so many fail to ever get a sale. It is not because they can not, or will not, it is because they quit before they succeeded!
Most failures do not have to be, they probably needed only to persevere, or to correct a couple of minor errors, and persist a little longer to see success. I have never seen a champion who was a quitter, and I have never seen a quitter be a success in anything!
Not that I am saying that all failing Internet Marketers are quitters, in general they are not, but they are going in the wrong directions. It all comes down to making it simple, and building a plan then doing enough to ensure your success. Most of us never reach the point of having anyone to mentor us or guide us through the hard times. This is an area where Wealthy Affiliate can and does help. As well as all of the great tools they have, and the forums we also now have the Boot camp Training along with the Getting Started Course this gives you the action plan, work ethic and tuition you need to ensure success.
Although the courses run for about 30 days each, you should not assume that you can just complete the course and then sit back and everything will come to you. This is not the case, the course is designed to show you how to set up a campaign and the work effort that you need to be putting in in order to ensure your success on a continued basis.
If a campaign has taken off by the end of the course you should be able to start another, if not continue working until it does, or start another anyway and check the statistics periodically for each. By the end of each campaign you will have a web site with about a dozen pages and a dozen blog posts. Each of these will be pointed to by 3 or 4 articles, and 3 or 4 related blogs of higher ranking as well as several social media sites. You will have 4 article directory accounts and articles published on each. You will be using Google Analytics and you will have basic SEO mastered. You will be getting some visitors, and your pages all being relevant will eventually start to convert. We can not say when exactly, but they will. You will also learn how to add Adsense and Kontera to your site (to earn advertising revenue).
It actually gets better as there are also video courses run by expert marketers within the community and you can talk to them all either privately (Premium members) or through the on-line live chat.

Nice beats Spice in money stakes
Four minus one: just outside the top 10
The Spice Girls and All Saints may be battling to top the music charts but when it comes to money, they are losing out to a female singer who never performs in public.
The Irish singer Enya has pipped both bands to make it into the top 10 of Britain's highest paid women.
Enya is believed to earn one pound for each of the nine million copies of her album sold. She also writes all her own material so her royalties boost her earning power.
The Spice Girls are just outside the top 10 at number 11 with earnings of Ł5.4m each.
The rest of the band only narrowly make it into the top 50. They are at number 45 with Ł1.1m each.
A new entry into the list is the Australian singer and former Neighbours soap actress Natalie Imbruglia. She has stormed into the chart at number 13, with earnings of Ł4.5m.
Occupying the top slot is Mary Dobson, a 55-year-old signmaker entrepreneur at her Bristol-based company Spandex, with a pay packet of Ł29.3m.
Among the other women in the survey, all of whom earned more than Ł1 million, include author Barbara Taylor Bradford at number 12 with Ł4.7m and actress Jane Seymour's Ł3.2m placing her at 17.
Comedienne Tracey Ullman, is at 18 with Ł3.1m, model and actress Liz Hurley is at 22 with Ł2.6m, author Catherine Cookson, who died last month, is equal 30th with Ł1.8m and Cilla Black, television's top earning female presenter is at 33 with Ł1.75m.
Other presenters who make it into the top 50 include Ulrika Jonsson, at 38 with Ł1.5m and Anthea Turner at 45 with Ł1.1m.

All the Demonstrators attending the Columbia Regional were sent an email message asking for card submissions for the Workshop WOW. We were to have been notified about two weeks prior to the event. Well, it was one week past the time that Stampin Up was to notified the ones they picked so I figured that Stampin Up received better ideas and cards than mine.
About one week prior to the event, Stampin Up called me and asked if I would be interested in giving a Workshop WOW presentation. I was so surprised that I asked the girl to repeat herself. At first I didn't know what to say, then I said "Sure!". She said that Shannon West would be contacting me for all the details. I was in 7th Heaven. I just couldn't believe it. Of course, I got all nervous planning and practicing my presentation and since the presentation was for 5 minutes I had to changed everything at the last minute because I was taking too long.
Anyway, as nervous as I was, my presentation was just fine. I think that I've kept you in suspense long enough. What did I do for my Workshop WOW? I presented some ideas and tips on using those "negative punch pieces" that everyone has.
I used a couple of my earlier cards since they fit the theme so well.
Plus I made some additional samples to illustrate additional ideas. I also had some extra punched pieces to show how to utilized those on a scrapbook page or a card. I did see some of the ladies shaking their heads in acknowledgment that this idea and tip was very helpful.
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was stamped with an image from Delightful Decorations stamp set.
I punched it out and showed the two pieces that were created.
The positive piece, which was the ornament stamped shape, and the negative piece that is left after you punch out a shape.
The 3 x 3 card on the left is an example of using the negative ornament shape from that punched piece. What a great way to makes some gift cards for your Christmas presents or use them for tags.
Then I showed the "Elegant Christmas" and "Quick and easy Deck the Halls Christmas Cards" cards that I posted earlier as an example of using the negative scalloped circle punch. with the scalloped circle punch.
The card on the left showed how I used the 2-3/8" scallop circle from the card on the left and also the negative and positive pieces from the Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts die on the same card.
The reverse side of the positive piece or the basic gray scalloped circle I'll use as a mat with another punch piece.
I first laid the Real Red negative punch piece over the picture and used it as a frame.
I then placed the other pieces and suggested that one could write a name in the Word Window punch space.
In the two little negative heart pieces, you could put a pearl in each or just leave them empty. All the pieces could be embossed or stamped or decorated in many ways.
These were just some of the ideas and tips that I came up with in my 5 minute space of time and hope that they also helped you to use your imagination and be more creative with your "negative punch pieces". It eliminates waste and puts those scraps to better use than the trash can.
I hope that I was able to help today and welcome any and all suggestions and comment. Thanks for looking.

TIFF'08 Day 10 - Saturday September 13, 2008
Last film of TIFF at the AMC. I wonder if I'll miss it? One great thing about the AMC is that I found regardless of the theatre size or layout I could always find a good seat right before the show - a very important thing! I didn't spend a lot of time in lines this year, opting for either relaxing until the house was open or dashing in from another screening. Day 10 was a pretty awesome day filled with 5 enjoyable films. Only 2 of the filmmakers were in attendance, which isn't bad for the last day of the festival and they were both great Q&A's. Want to hear all about Day 10? Check out my Day 10 Vlog!
The Biggest Chinese Restaurant in the World
Dir: Weijun Chen
UK/The Netherlands/Denmark
Reason to See: Sounded like an interesting documentary!
What an astonishing feat to run a restaurant that seats 5,000 diners, has 1000 employees including 300 chefs. The film shows many events that the restaurent hosts as well as focusing on the owner and various members of the staff whom come from different backgrounds and social levels. That is one of the strong themes to the film: success, wealth and social status. The importance on achieving these things is felt very strongly throughout the film. There were lots of interesting stories and great moments, but I think it would have benefitted to have a stronger over arching story told to hold it all together. Also, there were some queasy reactions from audience members regarding food preparation so keep that in mind if you are going to check it out.
The one and only one screening I went to at the Cumberland for TIFF'08 was on Day 10, the venue was barely used for public screenings.
Chocolate director Prachya Pinkaew (centre)
Dir: Prachya Pinkaew (Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior, The Protector/ Tom yum goong)
Cast: Jija Yanin, Hiroshi Abe, Pongpat Wachirabanjong, Ammara Siripong
Reason to See: Martial arts action flick with a female protagonist from the director of Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior? That's essential viewing folks!
Chocolate was one of the highest anticpated films to see this year. I wave very close to going to the Midnight screening of the film but knowing it was the closing night of the festival I had a feeling I might not make it. Turns out the afternoon screening felt just as crazy as a midnight one with what felt like every seat in the house taken (I was in the front row, centre and the entire row was full) and cheers, hollars and applause throughout the film during the action sequences. I knew it would be high flying, kneecap smashing fun and it sure did deliver. It was fantastic to see a woman kick some major butt in an action film and I was very impressed by Jija Yanin performance.
My only concern was I really hope no one got hurt during the filming, but the trailer (shows the basic premise and lots of the action shots) does indicate no stunt double and real injuries.
Highlights from the Introduction and Q&A with director Prachya Pinkaew:
-They found Jija Yanin as a Tae Kwan Do instructor, she trained for 3 years for this film and is 23 years old.
-Director Prachya Pinkaew is producing Ong Bak 2 which Tony Jaa is directing and starring in.
-See Video selections from the Chocolate Intro and Q&A here
Eden Log director Franck Vestiel
Eden Log
Dir: Franck Vestiel
Cast: Clovis Cornillac
Reason to See: I'll go to any SciFi at TIFF. I specifically saved this for the last day so I would have it to look forward to (along with Chocolate)
I love the look and feel of Eden Log, a film where the view spends a lot of time in the dark - visually and storywise. When the light does shine we are treated to a world of blue, black, white and silver which is beautiful. The film is highly drentched in the world of science fiction but we are let into this world very slowly and often left to fill in the blanks ourselves, which I loved. Visually stunning with strong performance this was one of my favourties of the festival.
Highlights from Intro and Q&A with director Franck Vestiel:
-selections of the film were shot in a quarry
-at times there was a huge temperature difference between the actor and the outside temperature
-at one point it was thought to do the film with no dialogue
-there were mixed feelings from the audience, some felt it was too video game like (I disagree)
-the film was concurrently shot in French and English (festival showed French version)
-it has been picked up for US distribution by Magnet
-see the Introduction to the Eden Log screening here
The Secret of Moonacre
Dir: Gabor Csupo
Cast: Dakota Blue Richards, Ioan Gruffudd, Natascha McElhone, Juliet Stevenson, Tim Curry
Reason to See: This falls under my 'try something new this year' category. Going to a family film was definitely a new festival experience!
Well, this certainly was trying something new for me as I don't normally go to family/kids films and it was one of the few audiences where I didn't feel amongs my peers. But I became charmed over by them and by the film. It's was exciting to see a fantasy based film with a young female protagonist (Dakota Blue Richards from The Golden Compass) in this tale or adventure and magic. It is a film that I would have loved to see as a child but even as an adult it brought a smile to my face.
See also: The Secret of Moonacre DVD Review
All Around Us
Dir: Ryosuke Hashiguchi
Cast: Tae Kimura, Lily Franky, Mitsuko Baisyo, Susumu Terajima, Akira Emoto
Reason to See: This was the only thing in the timeslot that interested me and I needed to get one more film in. I wasn't sure if I would be able to get through it as it was a late screening on the final night.
This year at TIFF was a year of seeing Japanese family dramas and All Around Us is one of the five that I saw and it was beautiful. I was most than slightly hesistant to see a 2 1/2 hr film up til just about midnight on the final day but I'm so glad that I did. Their is a beautiful sense of personal intimacy shown in this film that follows a couple throughout many years of thier lives. They don't always seem to like each other a lot, but they sure do know each other. It feels like it should be bittersweet, but it is much sweeter than than. It was the perfect film to close the festival with, I'm sure glad I saw it.
One of the odder product placements, the TIFF popcorn and water for sale... on wheels!
The Toronto International Film Festival 2008 runs from September 4-13/08 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Salem, Ill., Awarded Membership in Union Pacific's Train Town USA Registry
Omaha, Neb., January 17, 2013
Salem, Ill., has been awarded membership in Union Pacific's Train Town USA Registry as part of Union Pacific's ongoing efforts to highlight cities with a historical connection to the railroad. The city received an official Train Town USA resolution signed by Union Pacific Chairman Jim Young in a special presentation to Mayor John Raymer during the Salem Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Elks Lodge. Union Pacific launched its Train Town USA Registry as part of the railroad's 150th anniversary celebration in 2012.
"We are proud to recognize Salem as we celebrate our growing up together," said Adrian Guerrero, Union Pacific director - Public Affairs for Illinois "Union Pacific was founded to help connect the nation from east to west. Our shared heritage with Salem is a source of pride as we remember our past while delivering the goods American businesses and families use every day."
The main line through Salem was constructed by the Chicago, Paducah and Memphis Railroad in 1897. That same year, the railroad was obtained by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad. In 1964, the C&EI was acquired by Missouri Pacific Railroad. Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific merged in 1982.
Union Pacific serves nearly 7,300 communities in 23 states west of Illinois, covering 32,000 miles.
About Union Pacific
It was 150 years ago that Abraham Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act of July 1, 1862, creating the original Union Pacific. One of America's iconic companies, today, Union Pacific Railroad is the principal operating company of Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP), linking 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country by rail and providing freight solutions and logistics expertise to the global supply chain. From 2000 through 2011, Union Pacific spent more than $31 billion on its network and operations, making needed investments in America's infrastructure and enhancing its ability to provide safe, reliable, fuel-efficient and environmentally responsible freight transportation. Union Pacific's diversified business mix includes Agricultural Products, Automotive, Chemicals, Coal, Industrial Products and Intermodal. The railroad serves many of the fastest-growing U.S. population centers and emphasizes excellent customer service. Union Pacific operates competitive routes from all major West Coast and Gulf Coast ports to eastern gateways, connects with Canada's rail systems and is the only railroad serving all six major Mexico gateways.
