Bill Snyder, coach and political aspirantFifty-thousand Kansas State fans will awaken this morning in Phoenix, awaiting the 6:30 p.m. kickoff of the Fiesta Bowl.Twenty-five years have passed since a far-sighted and perceptive KSU athletic director named Steve Miller inked Bill Snyder to a paltry $90,000-per-year contract to resurrect the undisputed, most losing program in the history of collegiate football.
In his three years away from the game - although one cannot imagine Snyder wasn't still thinking football every day during the short sabbatical - he had no problem finding something to do and worked full-time leading the state's mentoring program to work with the state's troubled and disadvantaged youth. And, along the way, he almost became governor of Kansas. In a 2010 visit to Hutchinson for the annual Catbacker picnic, Snyder told how Gov. Kathleen Sebelius had offered him the position as her lieutenant-governor running mate in 2006. As always, Snyder did his homework and consulted two good friends - Sen. Pat Roberts and former Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne, then a congressman from our neighboring state to the north. According to Snyder, Osborne - who was coming off a stunning loss in his race for Nebraska governor - advised against him against entering politics. (Osborne sought the governorship after serving three terms as a Nebraska congressman, but lost Lincoln, home of Nebraska University, in his bid for the state's top spot.) For other reasons, Sen. Roberts advised the former KSU coaching legend against making the race for lieutenant governor. Be that as it may, Sebelius picked Mark Parkinson as a running mate, and they were swept into office by a landslide. Three years later, Sebelius was airborne to the nation's capital to accept a position in President Barack Obama's Cabinet and Parkinson became governor. Had Snyder accepted Sebelius' offer, he would have been sworn in as governor in April 2009. People seated at our table were a little stunned that evening to hear this story and, for a moment, speculated as to what type of governor Bill Snyder would have been. There is no doubt in my mind Snyder would have worked his usual 20 hours per day as governor and left the state, like the KSU football program, far better than what he found. He would have been a quick study and, within weeks of assuming office, would have talked public policy with the best of them. I can almost see Snyder sitting in his second-floor Statehouse office pointing out to lawmakers how he really didn't care if they were right-wing, left-wing, or had no wings at all, and noting that they needed to work together as a team to achieve his 16 goals for success, the third of which is to maintain unity among the team. (The only downside to this scenario is that Kansas would have missed the opportunity to have Parkinson as governor. Some say Parkinson accomplished more in 20 months as governor than did many of his 44 predecessors who served multiple terms.) K-Staters are pleased with Snyder's decision to remain in sports and are all hoping his coaching magic will work again tonight when the 'Cats take the field in Phoenix. Speaking of politics, at the start of each year I write a column urging our nation's leaders to put aside partisanship just long enough to solve a few problems, and the debate on the so-called "fiscal cliff" brings the issue to the forefront once again. Perhaps our leaders in Washington should first study the 1990s, when President Bill Clinton, working with Sen. Bob Dole and even House Speaker Newt Gingerich (who, from all accounts, was a partisan from birth), developed a plan that resulted in balanced budgets and economic sanity. As Clinton prepared to leave office in 2001, he told of plans in place to pay off the national debt in 10 years. And, for the record, there were fewer people working for the federal government at the end of the Clinton presidency than at any time since John F. Kennedy was president 40 years earlier. Yes, I miss those days when President Ronald Reagan, who shared an Irish ancestry with Tip O'Neal, would invite the Speaker of the House to the White House for a little imbibing, which resulted in consensus on national issues. It has been written that William Allen White, the progressive Republican editor from Emporia, was a confidential adviser to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal Democratic president. Then, President Eisenhower, a Republican, spoke admiringly of Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn, both Democrats who truly ran Congress in the 1950s and appreciated how they all worked together to pass the interstate highway bill, along with the first Civil Rights legislation since reconstruction. Yes, those were the good old days, and I, for one, miss them. Richard Shank is the external affairs representative for Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.

Don't be a DIY Disaster! This video gives some words of wisdom and has lots of vintage comedy clips including Laurel and Hardy!
Welcome to DIY Doctor's blog
The DIY retailer has been in the news again this week after independent DIY retailers complained that social housing tenants in certain areas of the UK had been given vouchers which were only valid to be used in B&Q stores.
The schemes are run to encourage tenants to do their own DIY but smaller retailers are up in arms in areas such as Manchester, Leeds, Stoke on Trent, South Tyneside, Kirklees and Swansea, as they have been left out of the equation.
This could, and is, affecting the independant retailers' businesses and a meeting to discuss the situation in South Shields should have taken place yesterday. We will wait to hear on any developments and hope these schemes can be opened up to include all relevant DIY stores in the regions concerned.
We found this brilliant blog post on Swoon Worthy which we think is a fantastic example of a mini garden makeover. They have created a lovely little area in their garden now which they can sit out and enjoy (bring on the summer!), and it has personal style which we think is inspiring.
There are lots more pictures and notes on what they did and how they did it on the blog post - check it out. If anyone has more garden makeover projects they have done or are in the process of doing, let us know and send us some pics – we'd love to see!
A bizarre news story of an ex-Wickes cashier who has been put in prison for 13 years for corruption and theft has hit the headlines this week.
James Ibori, who worked for the DIY store in Ruislip, London when he lived in the UK in the 1980′s and who was convicted of theft from the shop, then went to live in Nigeria where he became the governor of Delta state. It was while he was governor that he has reportedly committed fraud totalling nearly £50 million.
The court in Southwark heard how while governor between 1999 and 2007, he systematically defrauded the people of the Delta state and in particular fraudulently obtained £23 million in the sale of the state's share of a Nigerian phone company.
Judge Anthony Pitts said in court "You lived modestly in London in the 1990s and no-one I think hearing at that time would imagine the multi millionaire high profile governor that you became some eight or nine years later."
We have added two new projects on wallpapering to the website to help you choose the type of wallpaper you want and the type of of wallpaper paste or adhesive you need for the job.
Our guide to different types of wallpaper explains the variety available on the market today, from printed, foil and flock to anaglypta and woodchip or washable wallpapers. Our project on wallpaper adhesives will help you decide which type you need for the type of surface and paper you are using.
If you are looking at doing some wallpapering, we also have projects on how to hang wallpaper, the trickier task of how to wallpaper a ceiling, how to prepare new plaster for wallpapering, and of course how to strip wallpaper.

Early Childhood and Special Education
"Ready to Succeed as a Teacher"
Julia Sherry is prepared for a long and distinguished career in the field of education and she credits her professors at Keystone College for making a huge difference in her college career.
"I think the Education Department here is really great. My professors had high expectations for me and they guided me every step of the way."
Julia, who plans on pursuing a career in early childhood and special education, culminated her academic experience at Keystone by completing a detailed project for Keystone's Annual Spring Undergraduate Research and Creativity Celebration.
Associate Education Professor Dr. Jim Gilhooley served as a mentor for Julia's project, "The Effects of Preschool on Academic and Life Success." While there are many reasons why families may choose not to enroll children in preschool programs, or may be unable to do so, Julia's research found that children enrolled in pre-school programs experience definite benefits.
"Many families are faced with the questions regarding if preschool is something their child should experience in order to achieve academic success," says Julia. "If families choose not to enroll, their children will fall behind peers when they finally enter elementary school."
Julia plans on using the information from her research project as she pursues her career as an education professional.
"This research project will provide valuable information as I begin my career in early childhood and special education. It's one more way that a great college education can have a positive and practical effect on my life."

text: Reference Mapping ================= This chapter explains how references between documents are mapped with Doctrine. Collections ----------- In all the examples of many-valued references in this manual we will make use of a ``Collection`` interface and a corresponding default implementation ``ArrayCollection`` that are defined in the ``Doctrine\Common\Collections`` namespace. Why do we need that? Doesn't that couple my domain model to Doctrine? Unfortunately, PHP arrays, while being great for many things, do not make up for good collections of business objects, especially not in the context of an ODM. The reason is that plain PHP arrays can not be transparently extended / instrumented in PHP code, which is necessary for a lot of advanced ODM features. The classes / interfaces that come closest to an OO collection are ArrayAccess and ArrayObject but until instances of these types can be used in all places where a plain array can be used (something that may happen in PHP6) their usability is fairly limited. You "can" type-hint on ``ArrayAccess`` instead of ``Collection``, since the Collection interface extends ``ArrayAccess``, but this will severely limit you in the way you can work with the collection, because the ``ArrayAccess`` API is (intentionally) very primitive and more importantly because you can not pass this collection to all the useful PHP array functions, which makes it very hard to work with. **CAUTION** The Collection interface and ArrayCollection class, like everything else in the Doctrine namespace, are neither part of the ODM, it is a plain PHP class that has no outside dependencies apart from dependencies on PHP itself (and the SPL). Therefore using this class in your domain classes and elsewhere does not introduce a coupling to the persistence layer. The Collection class, like everything else in the Common namespace, is not part of the persistence layer. You could even copy that class over to your project if you want to remove Doctrine from your project and all your domain classes will work the same as before. .. _reference_one: Reference One ------------- Reference one document: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml User: type: document referenceOne: shipping: targetDocument: Documents\Shipping .. _reference_many: Reference Many -------------- Reference many documents: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml User: type: document referenceMany: accounts: targetDocument: Documents\Account Mixing Document Types --------------------- If you want to store different types of documents in references you can simply omit the ``targetDocument`` option: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml referenceMany: favorites: ~ Now the ``$favorites`` property can store a reference to any type of document! The class name will be automatically added for you in a field named ``_doctrine_class_name``. You can also specify a discriminator map to avoid storing the fully qualified class name with each reference: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml referenceMany: favorites: discriminatorMap: album: Documents\Album song: Documents\Song If you want to store the discriminator value in a field other than ``_doctrine_class_name`` you can use the ``discriminatorField`` option: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml referenceMany: favorites: discriminatorField: type .. _simple_references: Simple References ----------------- By default all references are stored as a ``DBRef`` with the traditional ``$id``, ``$db`` and ``$ref`` fields but if you want you can configure your references to be simple and only store a ``MongoId``. Example: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml referenceOne: profile: simple: true Now when you create a new reference to a Profile only a ``MongoId`` instance will be stored in the ``profile`` field. Benefits: - Smaller amount of storage used. - Performance and simple indexing. Cascading Operations -------------------- By default Doctrine will not cascade any ``UnitOfWork`` operations to referenced documents so if wish to have this functionality you must explicitly enable it: .. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: php .. code-block:: yaml referenceOne: profile: cascade: [persist] The valid values are: - **all** - cascade on all operations by default. - **detach** - cascade detach operation to referenced documents. - **merge** - cascade merge operation to referenced documents. - **refresh** - cascade refresh operation to referenced documents. - **remove** - cascade remove operation to referenced documents. - **persist** - cascade persist operation to referenced documents.

Best Dentist in Tampa that Gives You Better Teeth
I was very happy to finally have a metal braces for I know it would correct my teeth which was my biggest insecurity ever since. However, after almost two years of wearing it, I thought that it should be the right time to finally remove it yet I can still see some parts of my teeth that have to be fixed. I thought that I should have a second opinion at a best dentist in tampa so that he would advise me what to do, whether or not to continue wearing metal braces. After browsing through a couple of sites I was able to find this one that offer a lot of dental services and there I have found out that there are procedure that fixed the teeth in just a couple of sessions.
When I was scheduled by a very polite customer support, I talked to the dentist in tampa already and he told me about the procedure and how it is done and the benefits too. I was more amazed when he told me the price and it was very affordable too. The tampa dentist was very friendly and I was really happy because he made me comfortable in an instant. After the quick procedure and after a three come backs, my teeth was like brand new that it looks so much different yet perfect. I do no longer need to wear my metal braces. I just love the service I received from them. They are the best!

Family takes cares of them in a very special way. They feed them, cloth them , bring them to a veterinarian if sick. The only thing we feel irritated or frustrated is when our pet dog urinates in the carpet. It smells real problem especially if you don't have a good carpet cleaner in the house.
If our pet dog feels like pissing then the carpet is a big accommodating host. Since the carpet covers most part of the floor area dogs could urinate anywhere of it.

Tax Liens and Tax Levies to Cover Your Taxes
Since I was so busy with my work, I did not notice the bills that I had to pay at the end of the month. My bills piled up until they reached past the amount of my income. I had no idea how I would overcome this kind of problem and so I decided to contact an expert about this. First, I searched the web for sites which offered Tax Relief. This way, I would not experience the hassle of writing my own requests, and I would not need to talk to professionals, which I was not aware of. When I came across this site, I learned all about the IRS Offer in Compromise which I thought was the best idea to pay off all my debts and taxes. I requested for a consultation right away so that everything would be in its place in no time. I was impressed even on the first time because they scheduled my appointment on the day which was convenient for me. They did not give me even a bit of hard time because they provided me to the best of their abilities.
In the end, I chose to have the Tax Liens and Tax Levies because exchanging my properties was better than not having an income for months. I loved how they processed my requests and so it was granted in no time. They really have an excellent service when it comes to things like these and so I would recommend them to all my friends and family who would need their service.
Excellent Online Games from France
Most of the time, I used to play online games at home after my office work. My younger brother noticed that I seldom win from the online games. One Saturday, my brother informed me that there is a site that provides different online games and offer big chances of winning big prizes and jackpots.
Right after my brother has informed me about the Casino en ligne, I browsed its website right away to clarify more information pertaining to their available online games. I was thankful to the customer support of the Casino en ligne Francais as she was very accommodating and knowledgeable enough to answer all my queries. I was convinced with her simple and clear information about the policy and its rules and regulations. At that moment after our conversation, I played their online roulette. I was glad when I received a bonus after my first game. When my brother arrived home, I was very excited to tell him that I already received a bonus from his suggested site. Moreover, I also gave the website to my officemates and told them that I already won many times from this online casino in France. From the moment I shared the website to my officemates, they also started playing online games and were able to win big bonuses and prizes.
Through my brother, I and my officemates were able to play excellent and unique online games from a premier online casino that offers big prizes and jackpots to different casino players.

She�s not being entirely tongue-and-cheek. Whelan runs an hourly practice for clients of modest means. If they�re no longer working and don�t have sufficient income from investments to cover their living expenses, then she advises them to begin tapping Social Security in order to avoid drawing down the savings they do have.
Another reason to advise the client to begin social security before reaching the age of 66, Whelan says, is if the client has health issues that could limit his or her life expectancy. The retiree will receive a smaller monthly benefit, but holding off assumes he or she will live long enough to make up the difference.
Bob Stowe, a fee-only planner based in Plano, Texas, agrees that if circumstances dictate that someone must leave the workforce and retire before age 62, or soon thereafter, and if their retirement account is a modest one, they have limited choice in the matter. If they don�t start collecting right away, �they will either take a big cost of living hit or use up too much of their 401 (K),� he says.
Stowe, who as an hourly planner earlier in his career worked up over 200 financial plans for less affluent clients, breaks it down like this:
- $30,000 to $40,000 is around the minimum for annual living expenses.
- Social Security benefits for people with average earnings who begin collecting early will typically come in at around $20,000 to $25,000 per year.
- If the client has around $200,000 in his 401 (K), (which, he notes, although modest, is still greater than today�s average retirement account) the client can make up the difference by drawing down the account.
�The rule of thumb is to delay benefits,� he acknowledges, �but the client�s cash flow won�t allow it.� In circumstances like these, he says, �cash flow is king.�
In better circumstances, if the client can wait to collect until full retirement age, or better yet until age 70, he will be much better off. The Social Security benefit increases 8% a year until age 70, and given the current market, clients won�t earn that type of return anywhere else.

2010 Athletic Banquet
On May 3rd, the Lasell College Athletic Department celebrated the culmination of the 2009-2010 school year with the annual Athletic Awards Banquet. The Lasell College Athletic Center played host to over 400 student-athletes, parents, faculty, staff, and distinguished guests.
Each of Lasell's 15 NCAA varsity sports were recognized for an outstanding year as were the Lasell senior athletes who finished their careers in the Blue & White during the 2009-2010 season. In addition, Lasell handed out their annual "Student Athlete of the Year" award and "Scholar Athlete of the Year" awards.
The criteria for the Scholar Athlete of the Year award are as follows; the student athlete whom has completed their last season of eligibility, has been a four year member of a varsity team, has played in at least 50% of eligible games, and has the highest overall cumulative GPA of all senior athletes.
This year's recipient of the male "Scholar Athlete of the Year" award goes to senior men's cross country runner David Walsh, of Springfield, Massachusetts.
David has been on the men's cross country team all four years and served as team captain this year. In the 2009 season, he completed the President's Cup Dual Meet with an 8th place overall finish. He had his personal season best of 30:47 at the Saints Invitational this year and he helped Lasell to a fifth place overall finish in the GNAC Championships, finishing 30th overall. In 2008, David was the first Lasell athlete to complete the GNAC championship course running a time of 30:21 and finishing in the 18th place. David is also a member of the inaugural men's track and field team at Lasell competing in multiple events.
Daivd is majoring in Finance with math minor and has made the Dean's List several times in his tenure at Lasell.
This year's recipient of the female "Scholar Athlete of the Year" award goes to senior women's cross country runner Ariella Harrington, from Woburn, Massachusetts.
Ariella has been a member of the women's cross country team all four years and, this year, serves as team captain. In 2009, she finished the President's Dual Cup meet ending 4th place overall and second for the Lasers. She put in a top-ten performance at the Raiders Invitational and at the Pop Crowell Invitational and ran her personal season best in the latter race. Ariella came in first for Lasell, and 12th place overall, in the 2009 GNAC Championships, helping the Lasers to a 5th place conference finish. Last year, Ariella was the second Lasell athlete to finish at the NCAA Regional meet and in 2006 she had her personal best at the 5K New England College Course.
Ariella is in the Honors Program, has been on the Dean's List every semester since her freshman year, and is a candidate for Latin Honors. She will graduate with a degree in Sports Science in May, 2010.
The Student Athlete of the Year award is given out to the two Lasell senior athletes whom have completed their last season of eligibility, have been a member of a varsity team for at least two years, have been a starter or first reserve playing in at least 75% of eligible contests, and have made a significant impact on the team. The selected athlete must have also earned off-campus recognition for athletic achievements.
This year's female student athlete of the year award went to senior women's volleyball player, Amanda Major, of Southbury Connecticut.
Amanda has been a four year starter on the women's volleyball team, playing in over 400 sets and in 122 matches. As a freshman, Amanda set the women's volleyball record for digs in a season, with 656. She was ranked 26th nationally amongst all NCAA Division III women's volleyball participants in digs per set, averaging 6.56 per game. As a sophomore, Amanda accumulated 595 more digs, and then, as a junior, she became the all-time leader in digs, finishing the season with 503 total pickups to boost her career total to 1,754. This year, after five 30-plus dig performances, Amanda broke the 2,000 dig mark, adding 635 additional marks to her career record and finishing her career with a total of 2,389 digs.
Amanda was awarded the Great Northeast Athletic Conference Women's Volleyball Defensive Player of the Year award for the 2009 season, as well as GNAC Second Team All-Conference honors. She also finished the year ranked 30th nationally in digs per set, averaging 5.73 digs per game.
Amanda also chipped in with 91 career service aces, 44 assists, and 45 kills in four years. Amanda currently holds every single record in Lasell in regards to digs, seven records in total.
This year's male athlete of the year is being awarded to senior men's soccer player, Paul Meucci, of Vernon, Connecticut.
Paul is a two year member of the men's soccer team, having transferred to Lasell in his junior year. Paul immediately made in impact on the team, proving himself to be a versatile all-around player, and in particular, a great defender. Paul played in the center back position for Lasell, while also making himself a threat on offense when he pushed forward. He excels at challenging the opposition, winning in the majority of 50/50 balls. The senior played in all nineteen games in the 2009 season, scoring four goals, for total eight points, along the way. Meucci played in a total of 39 games with the Lasers during his two season stint.
This season, Paul was a Great Northeast Athletic Conference First Team All-Conference defender as well as a GNAC All-Tournament team selection. He was also chosen as a 2008 All-Tournament team Honoree. Paul was also recently selected as one of the top 26 senior men's soccer players in New England when he was chosen to participate in the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League All-Star Game, which took place on Saturday, May 1st.

August 10, 2011
U.S. stock index futures fell on Wednesday after a sharp snap-back rally in the last session and as investor fears about the economy and high levels of public debt looked set to generate more volatile trading.
Stocks zigzagged on Tuesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve promised to hold interest rates low for at least two years, before the S&P 500 index rallied 5 percent into the close. But the Fed's statement also underlined the struggling economy and was a reminder that markets would likely remain choppy in the near term. For details, see [ID:nN1E7780FW]
"At this point of time, investors' heads are spinning," said Oliver Pursche, president at Gary Goldberg Financial Services in Suffern, New York.

Your posts are always odd.
You "knew" that any editorial would be anti-gun?
You "knew" it would be a "party manifesto?"
Seriously, dude, get out of the 1950s. Not everyone you disagree with is a communist.
I know that was the thing back in the day to label everyone who wasn't a conservative white man a "communist" but seriously, time has moved on. Liberals = communists. Feminists = communists. Civil rights advocates = communists. blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's 2013. Get with the program. Enough with the "party manifesto" garbage. It's not just old; it's putrid.

My inspiration: mini skirt BOY by BAND OF OUTSIDERS that was worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in Glee! It is my RTW project for PatternReview.com contest. It is an easy project- the pattern I added is sizes 34-38-42 ( refer to Burda measuring size chart for reference) It is not yet a commercial quality pattern, but it is good enough to use. Basically, it is a result of my first steps exploring my pattern drafting software.

really lovely skirt! great idea! love the pockets!
Apr 14, 2012, 01.34 PMby Sewing And Style
Hi Ralf, thank you so much, actually they are both flaps and not pockets at all ( I am such a cheat LOL), The lower one made the skirt stick out at the back when it was a pocket, so I attached it at the top corners only for the look.

Nice project- I like the pockets a lot -- few years back I got the 'Just Pockets' by Lois Erickson (she passed but her patterns should available from Diane Erickson) for two months that's all I did;)
Apr 14, 2012, 12.27 AMby Sewing And Style
I'd love to do just that!!!! pockets, pockets pockets. This fabric is too think to play with it too much, but the skirt is not bad, and I might do a repeat in a thinner fabric with some welt pockets in the flaps

Body found at Kentucky Derby track
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The discovery of a man's body Sunday in the stable area of Churchill Downs was being investigated as a homicide, but there is no connection to the race track or the Kentucky Derby, police said.
"At this point we don't have anything pointing to the fact that this had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself," said Alicia Smiley, spokewoman for Louisville Metro Police.
Smiley said the death is being investigated as a homicide and there were no obvious signs of a struggle. She did not have any information on the identification or age of the man.
Churchill Downs security called police at 4:50 a.m. EDT after the body was found in a barn occupied by Louisville trainer Angel Montano Sr., Smiley said.
Montano did not have a horse in Saturday's derby, which saw a record attendance of more than 165,000.
Although Montano's barn is just four away — about 150 yards — from where this year's derby winner I'll Have Another is kept, there was little talk of the incident in the stable area. Instead, I'll Have Another's trainers and owners were participating in the usual post-Derby media interviews and speculation about the next race in racing's Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes.
A telephone call, text and Twitter message left for Montano were not immediately returned.
The body was removed from the barn at 9:50 a.m., and police were seen packing about a dozen large paper bags into the back of a crime scene unit van.
About a week after the Kentucky Derby last year, jockey Michael Baze's body was found in a vehicle near the stables at the famed Louisville track. His death was ruled an accidental overdose.

One pound of powdered sugar is about 3-3/4 cups measured (between 3-1/2 and 4 cups.) Sor for 1/2 pound, use 1-7/8th cup.
I disagree with the first answer because powdered sugar comes in weight which does not always compute to fluid ounces such as a cup measure.
I agree with nutcakes (although I haven't gotten out the measuring cups to check her math!). ...the confusion may have come because powdered sugar used to be sold in boxes by the pound. Many recipes would call for a box or pound of confectioner's (powdered) sugar. So you knew to use a half box or whole box...
I would use 2.
Yep, my bag of confec. sugar says 1/4 cup = about 1 oz. So 2 cups = about a 1/2 pound of 10x.
If you're not able to weigh it, fluff it up really well before measuring it.

Hey Everyone!
I decided to make an Etsy shop instead of BigCartel. I'm having a little print sale. I'm offering 25% discount on all (signed) prints until the 26th of december :). Here is my shop and if you'd like to order some prints, use coupon code XMAS2013 when you check out!
Hand painted animal pendants :-). I had fun doing these, learned quite a bit from it! I'll be making 2 other designs in the next weeks, a cat and a panda. You can order these 2 here!
Todays experiment. It's a drawing, with a bit of collage.
Quick sketch and some colour for an idea. Just practicing quick sketches really to get into my project for uni. Will work on this one over the next few weeks.
Playing around with some printmaking and drawing I did at uni last week…..top one is the original, ink on paper, bottom one is a WIP.
Work in progress…..
I made a little shop to offer a limited edition signed and numbered prints of my animal drawings! I keep getting requests for signed prints so I'll give this a go and see if it works or not :).
They are A4 prints with a little border, signed and numbered at the bottom by me, £20 each!
Get them here!
After drawing weird faces without references for a week, I decided to just keep doing it as I kinda like them haha. So yeah, here's a 20 min sketch from today. Going to try and draw one every day so I'll get better at it and find out what it is that I want to do with it…..
Random uni sketches from the last couple of days. I still hate sketching, but forcing myself to use my sketchbook every day.
Not sure if ill keep this just pencil or if ill add ink…will see :-)
Will put these up for sale when they're finished :)
Last 3 bags, 12 pounds including shipping worldwide xo
This is was my graduation project a couple years ago. I still love it. All the drawings are a combination of pencil, fine-liner, marker and collage on paper. The drawings have been mounted on wooden blocks and are roughly A5 size (card size).
Above you can see the original 9 drawings. Five have been sold in exhibitions and I have four left, number 3, 4, 5 and 9. Number 5 is my personal favourite but if anyone would love to have it, I'll sell it. I don't sell prints of these, I only have the originals available. As I'm moving to the UK in a couple weeks, I'm putting some things up for sale and for lower prices. These are 150 pounds, including shipping worldwide.
WIP. Been working on this couple days between commissions and work.
Issue 11 of Get Inspired! Magazine is out, with me on the cover :)!

Global warming is bad science says famous weatherman
Augie Auger former TV3 weatherman and the past professor of atmospheric science at the University of Wyoming, is part of a group of leading climate scientists who have formed the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, aimed at refuting what it believes are unfounded claims about man-made global warming.
He said the whole history of global warming dated back to about the 1980s and he partly blames the media and partly scientists for the fears that have been raised.
Prof Auer said the issue that aroused his particular interest was what farmers called the Fart Tax.
"It was absolutely unfounded in any scientific necessity," he said.
Then there was the attempt to impose the carbon tax.
"That's what really got me going because I thought, well wait a minute here, there's too much of this punitive correction being levelled on populations around the world," he said."Every time you pop a can of pop open and go to pour it out and all the bubbles come up you could be contributing, if you buy into this argument, to the global warming issue because that's a source of carbon dioxide -That's how really silly it can get."
The now defunct carbon tax is what professor Auer is reffering to above. He makes some very strong arguments against the bad sceince of global warming. Whilst the carbon tax was scrapped here it is certainly gaining momentum world wide. The carbon credit scheme from memory is scheduled for 2012 at which point each country must be carbon credit neutral or buy credits from those countries with surplus credits.
A story to follow with interest.

July 22, 2004 — Press Item
WASHINGTON, DC – As Congress prepares to recess for a six-week August break, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD), House Democratic Caucus Chairman Robert Menendez (NJ), House Democratic Caucus Vice Chair James Clyburn (SC), and Assistant to the Democratic Leader John Spratt (SC) today lambasted the dismal policy and political record of the Republican majority. The GOP Congress has failed to pass a budget blueprint, created record deficits, and the House is on track to work the least number of days in 48 years. The Democratic leaders today highlighted this absence of leadership, voters' desire for change in America, the Democrats' positive agenda, and what that means for the November election. The following is Rep. Hoyer's statement as prepared for delivery:

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD) released the following statement tonight after a united Democratic Caucus, and 72 Republicans, defeated the Majority's sham budget enforcement bill on a vote of 146-268. This bill would have required budget offsets (through "pay-as-you-go" or PAYGO budget rules) for mandatory spending increases but not tax cuts.

June 6, 2004 — Press Item
The tactic goes by several names: Déjà Vu, Play it Again, Summer Reruns. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) prefers "the cow agenda," saying House Republican leaders regurgitate previously passed bills, then force lawmakers to chew and swallow them again.
June 5, 2004 — Press Item
Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md., the minority whip, dismisses the current House Republican agenda as "cud," the regurgitated food that cows chew a second time. More politely, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., calls it "warmed-over stew."
June 15, 2004 — Press Item

Berwyn's 'Dr. Bob' loved life, babies and caramel corn
There are literally thousands of people in the Berwyn area who can say the very first person they met in life was Dr. Robert McNerland, who died from cancer at the age of 88 on May 4.
Even in death, "Dr. Bob" is larger than life.
Dr. McNerland, who practiced at MacNeal Hospital as well as Masonic and Cook County hospitals, was known by those close to him as a guy who loved to tell jokes, loved to laugh and loved people. He certainly brought enough of them into the world: McNerland is believed to have delivered as many as 3,000 babies in the area during his illustrious medical career. He even had a saying: "See a baby, know God."

Ok so i just thought i'd share with you the method to get online on rogero 4.21CFW after the 4.30 update:
This is for windows 7, it might be the same on other windows OS but i dont know...
So download this LG5tool.rar
Mirror: Multiupload.nl - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!
Now place the mswinsck . ocx in the directory c: windows / system
Now open the LG5tool and tick firmware update then start proxy
Now go on your ps3 and put in the proxy codes it gave you and try to sign in (you will get an update prompt dont worry) just press circle to cancel
Now you will see it says update version is 4 . 30 on the tool go ahead and untick the firmware update box
Now sign in and have fun with your new games
Follow these instructions and you will be good to go:
1) Unzip the LG5Tool
2) Put the mswinsck.ocx file into the following folder: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
3) Then go to RUN>>CMD (Vista & 7 Users run as administrator)
4) Copy and Paste the following: cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64 THEN PRESS ENTER
5) Copy and Paste the following: regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx
6) You should see the following message saying: "DllRegisterServer In mswinsck.ocx succeeded"
7) Now you can run the LG5Tool so double click on it (Vista & 7 Users run as administrator)
8) When it loads make sure you tick the box where it says: "firmware update" & Click Start Proxy
9) On the LG5Tool you will see the word "Your IP" & after you click Start proxy a ip address will appear next to "Your Ip" make a note of it as you will be needing this on the next step below
9) Go to your playstation 3, Go to Network settings >> Internet Connection Settings >> Choose which connection your using Wired or Wireless (For this example i'll be choosing Wireless) >> Enter Manually >> then put your details in >> When your on ip address setting choose automatic >> then when you come to following opetions do the following >>
Set the DCHP host name = DO NOT SET >> DNS Setting = AUTOMATIC >> MTU = AUTOMATIC >> Proxy Server = Use >> Then it will ask you to input a address, here you will input the ip address which you saw on the LG5Tool (Some may say 192.168.0.4, some maybe different), Port number is: 8080 after doing that scroll across
>> UPnP = Enable >> Then you will see press the X button to save settings click X >> Test connection and When you test the connection the first 2 Ip address & internet connection should say successful. DO NOT SIGN IN TO PSN YET!!
Then (and this part is really important guys) On the LG5Tool UNTICK where it says Firmware update >> After its unticked then you can go to sign in on PSN, If you dont untick it you might have a error on your Playstation and if you do then you have not unticked firmware version!!
Then your good to go!!

The Panthers didnt have to look far to find their replacement for offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski.
He was right down the hall.
Quarterbacks coach Mike Shula, who will take over for Chudzinski as the offensive play-caller, was one of three Panthers assistants promoted to bigger roles Friday. Assistant receivers coach Ricky Proehl will take over for fired receivers coach Fred Graves, and interim special teams coordinator Richard Rodgers had the interim removed from his title.
The Panthers are bringing back former running backs coach Jim Skipper, an assistant for all of John Foxs nine seasons. Skipper accepted the job after Panthers coach Ron Rivera cited continuity in elevating Shula, who has worked closely with quarterback Cam Newton for two seasons and has an intimate knowledge of an offense that ranked seventh and 12th in the NFL during Chudzinskis two seasons.
But skeptics would question whether the internal hires reflected a wariness among outside candidates about working for a coach on shaky ground after back-to-back losing seasons. Rivera, 13-19 in his first head-coaching job, waited a week after the season ended before owner Jerry Richardson told him he would be back in 2013.
Shula, 47, was one of three offensive coordinator candidates to interview with Rivera and new general manager Dave Gettleman, who replaced Marty Hurney last week. The Panthers also talked to former Browns coach Pat Shurmur and Cincinnati assistant coach Hue Jackson, the former Oakland coach.
Sources close to Shurmur and Jackson indicated both men would have taken the job if offered.
Promoting Shula allows the Panthers to continue running at least a version of the offense installed by Chudzinski a mix of a vertical passing attack and a zone-read package that takes advantage of Newtons running ability.
After going through the interview process, we feel that Mikes familiarity with our offense and personnel lends itself to the offensive coordinator position, Rivera said in a statement released by the team. He has the experience and knowledge to step in and provide continuity in an area that has been productive over the past two years.
Shula, the son of Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, said he was pleased to become a coordinator for the second time in his 21-year career as an NFL assistant.
I am excited about working with our offense in a more expanded role as offensive coordinator, Shula said in the release. There are a number of pieces in place for a good offense and our goal is to build on the momentum we had at the end of last season.
The release did not specify whether Shula would continue to coach quarterbacks.
Despite Newtons success, Shula has flown under the radar for most of his first two years in Charlotte while Chudzinski received the praise and criticism for the offenses direction. But Rivera often has talked about the positive chemistry in the quarterbacks meeting room.
Newton passed for more yards in his first two seasons than any quarterback in NFL history. He also ran for 741 yards last season to become the first quarterback to lead his team in rushing since Donovan McNabb in 2000.
Shula, a former Alabama quarterback who coached the Crimson Tide from 2003-06, struggled in his previous stint as an offensive coordinator. With Shula running Tampa Bays offense from 1996-99, the Buccaneers never finished higher than 22nd in total offense.
When the Bucs advanced to the NFC championship game in 1999, Shulas offense with Shaun King at quarterback was 28th.
But Shula has coached three Pro Bowl quarterbacks Newton, Trent Dilfer in Tampa and David Garrard in Jacksonville.
Rodgers, hired last year as assistant special teams coach, took over the unit in November after Brian Murphy was fired. The Panthers coverage teams were improved; they finished 11th in kickoff coverage.
Rivera, Rodgers teammate at Cal, said: Richard did a great job of stepping in last season and we want to build upon the foundation that he established in the second half of last season.
Proehl, who played three of his 17 NFL seasons with the Panthers, assisted Graves the past two seasons. Rodgers and Proehl have good relationships with players, as does Skipper.
Panthers running backs Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams both posted congratulatory tweets Friday about Skipper, who spent the past two seasons with the Tennesse Titans.

sam taylor-wood interview
to access audio and video on collective you need real player.
Fame vs art at the Baltic. What do you do when you�re an artist known as much for your fame as for your artwork? Sam Taylor-Wood has always walked this fine line. The photographer and video artist exploded with the other YBAs in the 90s, married Jay Jopling (the owner of the White Cube gallery in Hoxton Square, London) and has spent the rest of her career hanging out and depicting the iconic and infamous. She even created the world�s largest photographic installation, wrapping Selfridges in a giant celeb-filled image.Still Life and The Last Century (both detail). It�s a dirty and glamorous reputation to live up to, and often her work struggles to match it. This retrospective at the Baltic shows the past six years of Wood�s output. The celebrity-filled pieces have mass appeal. The film of David Beckham sleeping and the series of photographs of crying actors play with our festishistic fascination with fame, highlighting the voyeuristic nature of photography itself. Wood works best when she explores her medium and art history itself. The Last Century at first resembles a still image of an East End pub full of a modern version of 19th-century absinthe drinkers. Yet a wisp of smoke forces you to realise that everyone is staying still and that�s it�s actually a film. Her speeded-up movies of decaying fruit and animals update 17th-century still lifes to hyperreality gothic. Self Portrait Suspended IV (detail) and Baltic exhibition view. Yet, at the same time, much of the work fails to connect. Some of the more recent film pieces have the same Emperor�s New Clothes feel as Bill Viola. Just as you begin to be annoyed by Wood, however, she forces you to like her. Her recent self-portrait series, Self Portrait Suspended and Bram Stoker�s Chair, depict her suspended mid-air like a floating foetus. There�s something innocent and much more sensitive here than the reputation for fame and excess would like to admit.
Francesca Gavin
Sam Taylor-Wood: Still Lives is at the Baltic, Gateshead, until 03 September 06.

Oddly, Piotrr, I think I totally agree.
comment by piotrr
Jul 10, 2006
It's an irritation, her work, for the fame, their pretty looks and the casual, apparently clever things she says about them. But sometimes, despite myself, I like the gloss, the success (the floating/chair pictures for instance) and that makes her even more irritating. She's got in, under my defenses. Then I catch myself (aware of my irritation and of liking the work, despite myself) and I find another reason for liking what she does; not this time for the bland, cleverness, but for pushing me into this cul-de-sac. It's where I get a good critical look at my easy judgements; where I can tell myself off for being lazy, but can pat myself on the back for noticing. Perfect! Contradiction and resolution in one, thank you Sam. I don't much like your work, but I do really, sort of, depsite myself. |

Google's Eric Schmidt Warns New UN Treaty Will be a Disaster
The United Nations is considering handing over control of regulation of the Internet to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), and ZDNET reports that Eric Schmidt made it clear that this is a bad idea:
"That would be a disaster... To some, the openness and interoperability is one of the greatest achievements of mankind in our lifetime. Do not give that up easily. You will regret it. You will hate it, because all of a sudden all that freedom, all that flexibility, you'll find it shipped away for one good reason after another," Schmidt said.
"I cannot be more emphatic. Be very, very careful about moves which seem logical, but have the effect of balkanising the internet," he added, urging everyone to strongly resist the moves.
The ITU is part of the United Nations and began discussing proposed changes that would take control from groups that were there at the inception of the Internet, such as ICANN. The proposals are rumored to be supported by China and Russia.
Eric Schmidt's comments came from a question and answer period at the Mobile World Congress 2012 held in Barcelona, focusing on the future of mobile strategy and technology.

Cost of taking GED test could double in Missouri
The cost of taking the high school equivalency exam in Missouri could go up to $140 in January. That's when the company that administers the GED test plans to introduce a new, computerized version of the exam.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the new test will cost twice as much as before, but GED Testing Service says states could actually save money, since they won't have to pay for things like grading the exams.
Missouri, like many other states, is exploring it's options. State officials have requested bids from two competing test makers and plan to make a decision this month.
