Welcome. It looks like you made it here. 🙂 Today is officially the big day. Reena's Blogoversary.
I wish I had a wave gif like they do in the movies taking folks back in the past. 🙂 If you do the hand motions we can pretend anyway. So I started this blog way back when—Okay, January 6, 2010—because I wanted an online presence as an author. I had a website, but I wanted a little more. So Reena's Blog was born.
My original posts were about writing tips I'd learned from my brief bit of experience and tidbits about my work. Later, I rediscovered the joys of reading and decided to add book reviews to my list of posts. Around the same time, I learned there was more to writing software than MS Word and went on a software adventure, testing and reviewing software. What fun!
Somewhere along the line I lost my motivation for writing. 🙁 I found my motivation again through Zoe Who? videos. And thus my goal to self-publish was born. 😀 It never ceases to amazing me how generous indie authors have been. They willingly offer their advice and encouragement like candy on Halloween. Looking for some? Check out the Authors Helping Authors page.
I know what you're thinking. Get on with the giveaway already! Well if you follow my blog, you know I'm prone to rambling.
So what do we have to offer today?
Keeping with the indie theme, we're offering $10 worth of eBooks from Amazon (must be by indie authors) and one book of the winner's choice from the Book Depository (up to $10 value and doesn't have to be by an indie author). A second winner will receive $10 worth of books from Amazon (must be by indie authors). If you're unfamiliar with Indie names, here's a great list of the 50 best rated indie authors. The list is a little old, so if anyone wants to add to the list PLEASE DO. 🙂
Okay, here's how it goes. Two winners, two prices.
- $10 worth of indie eBooks from Amazon plus a book up to $10 from the Book Depository. (International to anywhere the Book Depository delivers)
- $10 worth of indie eBooks from Amazon (International)
So how do you win? Simple. Fill out the Form.
The rules!
- Become a blog follower. See Google Friends Connect to the left.
- You'll earn 1 point for completing the form and additional point if you tweet and leave the link.
- You may tweet once per day after your initial entry for an extra 2 points. Use the same form.
- Comments are appreciated, but only entries from the form count.
- Giveaway ends Thursday, January 13, 2011.
- Please read the giveaway policy for the nitty gritty.
If you haven't taken a look at the other giveaways here's a quick run down.
Day 1: Benjamin Jones, author of H.U.B. Ends Friday, January 7, 2011

HelpUse the help section. Find answers to your questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Students who are most successful in online courses are those who are self-motivated, self-disciplined (able to make and stick to a study schedule), and who have good technology skills.
Before taking signing up for a class, check out our Online Readiness Quiz
Once you are in an online class we recommend that you take an online tutorial, available on the Virtual Valley Student Resources webpage, or by clicking on the link below:
An online course is conducted entirely over the internet. Course materials are posted on a course website. Most online courses never require meeting on campus. However, there are some professors who do require students to attend an orientation session or take exams on campus. Make sure that you understand the instructor's attendance policy before enrolling in a class that will have meetings that you know you won't be able to attend.
A hybrid course combines online learning with face-to-face class sessions on campus with your professor and your class mates. The campus sessions meet on a regular basis. However, you do spend less time in the actual classroom than you would in a regular class.
Go to the Virtual Valley Homepage
Click on the link that says "Online Schedule of Classes." You will find the classes listed by semester.
Students taking online classes are more likely to be successful if they possess the following technology skills before starting their course:
- Know how to use a mouse and keyboard to select and start programs, and to enter information.
- Know how to connect to the Internet and use web browser software to locate information on the Internet.
- Know how to create and manage folders on a computer, including finding, uploading, downloading, and saving individual files.
- Know how to send email attachments
- Know how to download and install "plug-in" software such as media viewers, java, etc.
- Know how to manage security settings on your computer through the Internet browser software and firewall.
- Know how to use word processing software such as Microsoft Word to create, edit, and print text documents.
- Know how to "cut and paste" and "copy and paste" within documents.
- Know how to send and receive messages using e-mail.
If you need help developing any of these skills prior to taking an online class, study the following two tutorials, available on the Student Resources page of the virtual valley website:
The short answer is no. Online and hybrid courses teach the same material as our on-campus courses.
Online classes may even require more weekly work, but they are more convenient.
Students who have poor technology skills or who need the discipline of regularly scheduled class meetings in order to stay on task are likely to feel that online courses are more difficult than classroom-based courses.
Students who have good technology skills, are self-disciplined, regularly make time to study and complete assignments, and have good reading and writing skills are likely to feel that online courses are similarly challenging to on-campus classes.
Yes. The exact same content is taught in online as in a traditional course that meets on campus.
All online and hybrid courses are developed by LAVC faculty.
These courses are reviewed by the department chair and an instructional designer.
For course components that are online, you do not normally have to be online at a certain time. Instead, you can study when it is convenient for you, as long as you complete and submit required assignments and tests by due dates indicated in the syllabus.
Some instructors may require small group or other discussions to take place at a schedules time, which is often negotiable. Contact your instructor for any specific time requirements.
Getting Started
You will officially have access to your class by 11:59 p.m., PST, on the first day the class starts. Some instructors do open the class earlier, so check periodically.

- Click on the semester of your class, for example, Fall 2009
- Find you class on the list
- Click on the link to your instructor's name or call the phone number listed for him or her
It is a good idea to contact your instructor before the start of class to find out if there are any specific requirements you need to know about before you begin.
For help with any ETUDES problem or question, contact the ETUDES Help Desk by email, phone, or drop-in lab hours. This should ALWAYS be your first option.

Hardware and Software
If you are taking an online class or a hybrid, you don't need to go out and buy a computer. HOWEVER you do need frequent access to a reliable computer.
LAVC does have a computer lab in BJ 103. For lab hours see the following link: Help Desk/Computer Lab Information.
For more information about the lab, contact Ken Freeman at (818) 947-2568.
No. LAVC offers its online classes through the ETUDES-NG course management system, which is available over the Internet. All you need is a good computer with a reliable Internet connection.
However, some instructors may require purchase of special programs, such as Microsoft Word, or other discipline-specific software. Check with your instructor prior to the beginning of the class for any additional software requirements.
Yes, you need an active email account. Those are available for free from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
Regular access to a good computer
Reliable Internet access. While dial-up modems will work, they are very slow, so cable or digital Internet connections are recommended.
Note: If AOL is your Internet service, you will not be able to use your AOL browser, but will need to download another browser.
- For more information about computer, Internet, and browser requirements, see the System Requirements.
A good word processing program, such as Microsoft Word (some professors require this program).
Check with your instructor to see if there are any additional equipment requirements prior to taking class.

Rust is the name of iron oxides of different colors, usually red or black, that form when iron or steel corrodes.
What causes rust is the reaction of iron with oxygen dissolved in an electrolyte, usually it's rainwater, condensing water from the atmosphere or freshwater.
The corrosion of iron and steel is an electrochemical reaction, it means that there is an exchange of electrons between the metal that is oxidized and corrodes and oxygen that is reduced.
There are always two different reactions in a corrosion process:
1) oxidation of Iron
2Fe ---> 2Fe2+ + 4e-
2) reduction of Oxygen
O2 + 4 e- + H2O ---> 4OH-
The overall reaction is:
2Fe2+ + 4OH- ----> 2Fe(OH)2
Fe(OH)2 reacts further with oxygen to form Iron oxides: Fe2O3 (hematite, red rust), Fe3O4 (magnetite, black)
Is possible to stop rusting of iron or steel by removing what causes rust, i.e. water. A metal placed in a dry environment corrodes less than a metal placed in a wet environment, like a marine atmosphere.
One of the most used method to stop rust, is to apply a coating that isolate the metal from the environment and prevent contact with water.
To summarize:
What is rust:
- iron oxides of different colors
What causes rust of metal in contact with water:
-oxygen dissolved in water reacts with iron
What is needed to rust iron:
-water must be in contact with metal surface
How you can stop corrosion & rust of metals?
-isolate the metal from water by applying a coating
-if the metal if immersed in water or buried in soil apply a cathodic protection system

As a general rule, I'm not a huge fan of the "glue random crap all over a generic vehicle" school of art car creation. Still, it's sad to see such a car in the junkyard.
It is possible to do this sort of art car right (though I tend to prefer projects more along the lines of the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir), provided the creator is willing to stick with some kind of theme, or at least go way overboard on the quantity of decorations. This wagon manages to succeed on both counts.
It was pretty easy to figure out the name of this '88 Taurus wagon art car, because it's painted in big letters on the rear window. Even after going through the rigors of the final ride to the wrecking yard, the GPPOP remains pretty much intact.
It wasn't difficult for me to learn more about the GPPOP's history, because there's a URL right on the side of the car. This leads to "Ian's Hippie Wife's Psychedelic Art Car Page"…
For whatever reason, the GPPOP's glory days are over. Some of her parts will live on in other, more quotidian Tauruses and Sables, while we wonder why she's on Death Row. Did she throw a rod? Fail to pass smog? Gather $47,000 worth of parking tickets and get towed by The Man? We're going to need to track down Ms. Hughes and get her to join a 24 Hours Of LeMons team!

A former Barrington teacher remains out of a job.
Rhode Island Education Commissioner Deborah Gist ruled against an appeal for Kelly McKenney.
McKenney was fired two years ago after she allegedly helped two students cheat on an exam.
According to EastBayRI.com, McKenney said there was no policy against posting study guides and that her coaching did not meet the standards of cheating.
Gist's ruling upholds the decision made by Barrington school officials.

Sun Jul 11 10:00:00 EDT 2010, St John's, Newfoundland, Canada
We had a pleasant sail and motor in mostly light winds from St Pierre to St John's, Newfoundland, Canada. St John's has a great harbor, very well protected by the cliffs on either side of the entrance.
Fri Jul 9 6:00:10 EDT 2010, St Pierre, France

Mon Jul 5 12:00:00 EDT 2010, St Pierre, France
Gabriela (who used to live in Paris) seems happy to be back in France. The rocks ahead of Issuma are in the entrance to St Pierre, a small island just south of Newfoundland that is a French territory.
After sailing in thick fog all night, as we made our approach to St Pierre, the fog lifted as the sun rose.
Fri Jul 2 14:11:44 EDT 2010
Chris steering Issuma in the typically foggy and wet weather we have mostly had since Halifax.
Thu Jul 1 0:00:00 EDT 2010
Sailing from Halifax has looked like this a lot...fog, sometimes rain, sometimes wind, occasionally clearing.
Wed Jun 30 9:00:00 EDT 2010, Louisbourg, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
Issuma at the dock in historic Louisbourg, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. In the background, totally obscured by our frequent companion Fog, is Louisbourg.
Louisbourg was an unplanned stop. The satellite phone (which is used for email) stopped working while offshore because the airtime minutes expired (they quietly expire after a year). I was chasing some parts for the weatherfax receiver and needed email, so we stopped in Louisbourg to use a payphone and internet.

Oct '11 - Oct '11
The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protest has gone from media eruption to tourist destination. When I visited Zuccotti Park on Saturday out-of-towners were photographing protesters as if they were zoo animals. I was impressed at how focused the demonstrations are and how they utilize the space of the 3,300 square foot park so effectively. The logistics of it aren't great; people are sleeping on quilts on the paving, eating take-out pizza, and using washrooms at local delis. But the park, a bland space with granite benches and shade trees, is ideal staging. The noisiest, most extravagant, protesters gather along Church Street, catching tourist traffic from the former World Trade Center site one block uptown. Other, quieter, protesters stand at the opposite side, along Broadway, below the giant red Mark di Suvero sculpture, which has taken on revolutionary, constructivist overtones. The south and north sidewalks have become promenades, with visitors lingering to take it all in, and the north street, Liberty Street, has become a service drive, lined with police cars. The park is just the right size. It's large enough to contain the activities and small enough so that it doesn't seem out-of-control. I doubt that designers could have planned it better.
Storefront for Art and Architecture, inspired by the fervor, has launched "Strategies for Public Occupation: Call for Ideas," The way that OWS so naturally and smartly overtook Zuccotti park suggests that no design is necessary here and, perhaps, for other kinds of public happenings too. What's really needed is infrastructure: toilets, drinking water, marked pathways, safety lights and spotlights, and PA equipment. The BMW Guggenheim Lab, a temporary event space that sat along Houston Street this summer, strikes me as a perfect model for an ephemeral, unprogrammed urban space. It's a simple, open steel frame furnished with A/V equipment, video screens and folding chairs. It has no image of its own, and gives itself over easily to all manner of events, including lectures, concerts and movies. The protesters don't need strategies, they need spaces like the Lab, and like the Park.

eBOOKS: THE PERFECT ONLINE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
I got my start with online micro-businesses by building a website to sell my first eBook. That was a little over 3 years ago, and today my little website has sold over a thousand copies of "Soccer Season Outsourced," in addition to countless affiliate products, real world items, advertising packages, and more.
When I first started out, I had no idea how to build a website, let alone how to get people to it, or convince them to buy something from me. What I did know is that I wanted to learn how, and I wasn't going to quit until I built it to the point of daily income.
Now that my first site generates a few thousand visitors per week, and my various eBooks sell daily, I am ready to reveal the money making secrets I learned along the way to anyone that is committed to doing the same.
If you are interested in building a long term stream of automated income, I suggest you download The eBook Education today. It is the exact product I looked for when I was in your shoes, but never found!
|What's Inside: The eBook Education walks you through the entire process of creating a product, building a website, finding customers and making sales. More than that, I will give you a plan so you too can build a long term stream of passive income, plus products you can sell right now!
Scott Carlson, author, The eBook Education, Soccer Season Outsourced
I BUILT A MINI-EMPIRE WITH eBOOKS, THE eBOOK EDUCATION CONTAINS THE KNOWLEDGE I GAINED ALONG THE WAY THROUGH EXPERIENCE
I got sold on eBook publishing a few years back by one of those guys you see on late night infomercials. The guy was basically trying to drum up interest in a $2,000+ product, but what I took from this chance meeting was an understanding of how important it was to have my own product I could sell forever, without ever having to worry about running out of supply.
While lots of people aspire to "sell things online" I finally knew what that "thing" was, and I knew that once I had it, I would do whatever I had to do to figure out how to sell it.
The eBook Education covers everything I learned through hard work, study, trial and error. If you aspire to start selling things online from scratch or you are already doing so with little success, I know of no better resource as your disposal.
|"After reading The eBook Education, I was totally energized to succeed and published my eBook in days. This course empowers you. All you have to do is supply the motivation and you too will be an eBook publisher."

Texas Tech Press Release:
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech senior Ryan Bustin is one of 30 kickers in the country that have been named to the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award Watch List, announced today by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission.
The 23rd Annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, presented by the Orange Bowl Committee, recognizes the three finalists during an early week celebration in Palm Beach County, culminating with a gala awards banquet on December 9, prior to joining ESPN in Orlando.
Bustin, who became the first Red Raider in school history to be named a semifinalist for the award a year ago, had a breakthrough season as a junior in 2013 breaking the school record for field goals made (23), field goals attempted (27), field goal percentage (.852) and points scored in a season by a kicker (121), to name a few.
Bustin is one of just four kickers from the Big 12 Conference on the watch list, joining Kansas State's Jack Cantele, Oklahoma's Michael Hunnicutt and TCU's Jaden Oberkrom.
He ranks third among kickers on the watch list with 23 made field goals last season and finished last season 22-of-24 on field goal attempts inside of 40 yards.
Bustin has set a school record for field goals made in a two-year career (40) while he ended last season ranking third nationally among active players in career field goals made/game (1.54).
This season marks the first time a Tech kicker has landed on the Lou Groza Award Preseason Watch List since 2006 when Alex Trlica was recognized.
Accomplishments are tabulated throughout the season and the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award will announce its 20 semifinalists on Thursday, November 6. From this list, a panel of more than 300 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, and former Groza finalists selects the top three finalists for the award by Monday, November 24. That same group then selects the national winner, who will be announced on Thursday, December 11 during the Home Depot College Football Awards, broadcast live from Orlando, Fla.
The Award is named for National Football League Hall of Fame kicker Lou "The Toe" Groza, who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Groza won four NFL championships with Cleveland and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1954. Although an All-Pro offensive lineman as well, Groza ushered in the notion that there should be a place on an NFL roster for a kicker.
For more information on the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award and to see the "Stars of the Week" throughout the season, please go to www.lougrozaaward.com. For even more updates on the best kicking performances throughout the season, follow @LouGrozaAward on Twitter.

Last year I picked up a SB-66 for myself and really love it. I purchased the endouro version and swapped out all the components for XT. Since then, the components I removed have been gathering dust and I've decided to build up a bike for my wife. Since I like a deal, I picked up a small 2011 asr-c new frame for 1,300. I just received it and it seems about the same size as my SB66 medium which I think will be much to big for my wife. She is 5' 3" and is a casual rider. My question is should I return and start over? I'm not too concerned about budget, just want something that we'll keep for a while. Thanks for comments.

The Bkapolice.com virus is a malicious program that can hijack web browsers and redirect users to fake websites like www.Bkapolice.com. This malware usually takes people to the websites that claim to be a real police department.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Sarah Palin called President Barack Obama the most pro-abortion president ever Thursday and mocked Florida's governor for claiming to be pro-life after vetoing a bill that would have required women to get ultrasounds before having the procedure.
In a speech that only ventured into politics on abortion issues, Palin criticized Obama's health care overhaul as a plan that will lead to more abortions.
"The biggest advance of the abortion industry in America is the passage of Obamacare," Palin said. "Elective abortions have nothing to do with health care. It's about ending lives, not saving lives."

Just three days after a woman reported a sexual assault at Union Point Park In New Bern, that park was the starting point Friday night for a sexual assault awareness march.
More than 100 people gathered for the first annual "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" event.
Both men and women wore heels and walked a mile around the town, before heading to a vigil at the Christ Episcopal Church.
All of the proceeds from the event went to Promise Place and the Coastal Women's Shelter, to support victims of sexual assault.
The Craven Early College also organized the event and had plenty of students volunteering.
On Tuesday, a woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in Union Point Park, around 7:30 p.m. No arrests have been made in that case.


text: "Some Velvet Morning," Neil LaBute's miniaturist provocation, is an all-talking real-time two-hander with the never-flagging Stanley Tucci as Fred, a so-presumptuous, nerve-jangled fifty-year-old man who claims he's left his wife with only a couple of bags and lands on the stoop of his younger mistress (Alice Eve) from four years earlier. Yes, she's called "Velvet." Eve's splendid "What. Ever" spins both Fred and the movie into the next level of spite. ("That's the way these things go. Did you ever read 'Lolita'? It ends badly.") Both actors charm with assurance and lightly electric undercurrents amid the outbursts. ("I am NOT a fucking toddler!") With warm, lightly queasy handheld cinematography by Rogier Stoffers (who shoots for LaBute, Philip Kaufman and Richard Linklater), "Some Velvet Morning" is not only filmed theater, but also a showcase of superior performance, and shot in a reported eight days.

The Smart Nixie Tube is described as the first expandable Nixie Tube display with built-in Arduino Uno compatible hardware. Tyler Nehowig, an Electrical Engineering graduate from the University of Minnesota, is the man behind the project, which is on KickStarter (his website is Switchmode Design).
It's analogue meets digital as the Smart Nixie Tube promises full programmatic control of the tubes. The USP is the ease of connecting the devices to form longer digit displays. You program it exactly like an Arduino Uno. There's also the possibility of wireless control.
Also, the tubes also include a common cathode RGB LED, which allows you – Tyler writes – to "give the warm neon glow of the IN-14 Nixie Tube a cool accent colour".
At the time of writing he has met his goal for pledges: 41 backers have promised $6,689 against his target of $5,000, with 21 days still to go.
His project page has a lot of details including a User Guide, Sample Firmware, a Bill of Materials, a Schematic, the Spacer PCB and a Laser Cut Enclosure…
He writes:
The Smart Nixie Tube is the most open source, flexible Nixie Tube display in the world. It is fully programmable using the unmodified Arduino IDE, and appears as an Arduino Uno running at 16MHz/5V. The Smart Nixie Tube was created to fill the gap that all other Nixie Tube displays create by allowing unlimited digit length — from one digit to as many as your project requires. Adding more digits is as easy as connecting headers together. You can chain Smart Nixie Tubes together and control them from anything with a Serial Port. Examples include connecting it to a Raspberry Pi to pull in sports scores, the current temperature, or the current time and date.
How do you control the Smart Nixie Tube? You simply open a COM port and send a string of ASCII characters. Apparently the protocol allows full configuration of the digit (both decimal points), the Nixie Tube brightness, and the 24 bit RGB colour of the LED accent lighting.
He writes:
Once you have sent the data you want to display on your Smart Nixie Tube(s), simply send a ! to latch the data into the Smart Nixie Tube(s). By implementing the latch command, you can load all of your Smart Nixie Tubes with data and then update the displays simultaneously.

Window pain
Culture | In a regulatory dispute over private homes, neither New York nor the Amish will give an inch and a half
THE AMISH KEEP UP THEIR RADICAL BRAND OF communal Christianity by rejecting modernity altogether. They don't drive cars or own telephones. They don't use electricity or anything that depends on electricity. They work their farms and build their buildings by hand, following the techniques and customs passed down for centuries, sticking to themselves and practicing their religious freedom.
But that was before New York state passed a new building code. The updated regulations require all new houses to have electricity and indoor plumbing. Blueprints for new construction must be submitted for state approval and signed by an architect or engineer. Details of the construction-such as the size of the windows-must conform to state regulations. And state bureaucrats have ruled that the Amish are out of compliance.
The issue was joined when building inspectors in Chautauqua, N.Y., found that a new house built by Amos Byler, who is not only Amish but the even more conservative Old Order Amish, had a bedroom window that measured 5 square feet. This was well within the old code's requirement of 4 square feet, but the new regulations call for all bedroom windows to measure at least 5.7 square feet. Mr. Byler would have to widen the window by 1.5 inches on each side. He wouldn't do it.
The house was built just like all other Old Order Amish houses, going back to the 19th century. The whole point of being Old Order Amish is that you just don't change. Even zippers are considered too liberal. The Old Order fasten their clothes with hooks and eyes. When it comes to their houses, they allow running water, as long as it is gravity fed and cold water only. Lighting is by lamps that burn kerosene and not some fancier oil. And the windows are supposed to be 5 square feet.
Simply widening the windows by an inch and a half "sounds easy to someone who isn't Amish, but if you're Old Order Amish it isn't easy," local bishop Mose Byler told The New York Times. "If you break a tradition, where's the tradition? You aren't a faithful member."
Local authorities in Chautauqua cut the Amish some slack and issued the building permits. But now the town is in trouble with the state. The codes division of the New York Department of State says the community is in violation of state law and is threatening to audit the town's code enforcement.
The state says that it might compromise on plumbing and electrical codes, but the larger window size is sacrosanct. The state is requiring bigger windows for safety purposes, to assure firefighters access and to enable people inside to escape easier should there be a fire or other emergency.
Never mind that Chautauqua firefighters have said that the current windows are big enough for their purposes. Besides, the Amish community almost never makes use of firefighting services, even though they pay taxes, since they have no phones to dial 911 and since they are so isolated out in the country. Their buildings nearly always burn down before the firetrucks can get there. And since their 19th-century lifestyle has spared them the obesity epidemic that plagues other Americans, Amish folks have little problem fitting through their windows.
But state bureaucrats are just as unyielding as Amish farmers. Both sides follow their codes with a legalistic zeal, upholding every jot and tittle of their two respective sacred Orders. Neither side is willing to give an inch and a half.
Theologically, one might think that the Amish have a Romans 13 obligation to submit to the governing authorities. Since the Bible nowhere commands how big windows are supposed to be, this would seem to be an obvious area in which to render unto Caesar.
But the American republic guarantees religious liberty, and requiring the Amish to change their windows is like outlawing buggies and requiring them to drive cars, use cell phones, and buy clothes at the mall.
Moreover, the controversy is not just about religious liberty for the Amish but about the general liberty of every American. This is an issue about private property (upheld by the Bible in statutes such as "Thou shalt not steal"). If the Amish were operating a store, say, for the general public, some state building regulations might make sense, but their private residences should be their own business. And if their windows are too small, that is their risk and not the concern of the Nanny State.
It isn't just the Amish who have the right to build their windows any way they want. And it is not just the Amish who should resist the intrusion of government bureaucrats into their way of life. When it comes to personal liberty, give bureaucrats an inch (and a half) and they will take it all.

Jackets Edged By No. 21 Virginia Tech, 4-3
Georgia Tech win at No. 1, 3, and 4 in singles but fall in doubles
March 20, 2009
BLACKSBURG, Va - - Despite three big wins in singles play, the Georgia Tech men's tennis team fell 4-3 to No. 21 Virginia Tech Friday afternoon at the Burrows/Burleson Tennis Center in Blacksburg, Va. The Jackets will face top-ranked Virginia Sunday at 12 p.m. in Charlottesville, Va.
"The doubles point was the overall difference," head coach Kenny Thorne said. "We received a good quick win from our No. 1 doubles and were up an early break at No. 2, but we just couldn't hold on."
The 4-3 loss puts the Jackets at 6-7 on the season, 1-3 in ACC play.
Virginia Tech took the doubles point to open the match, but not before it came down to the final pairing. VT's Graber and Corace took down GT's Miguel Muguruza and Austin Roebuck 8-3 at the No. 3 position to start things off, but the Jackets bounced back with an 8-2 win from Guillermo Gomez and Ryan Smith over Jacques and Re at No. 1. The Hokies would take the eventual winner in the final group as Kevin King and Doug Kenny fell 8-4 to VT's Daciek and Delgado De Robles.
The Jackets would go down 3-1 early in singles, as freshman Dusan Miljevic fell 6-2, 6-2 to Brandon Corace, and Smith fell 6-4, 6-2 to Sebastien Jacques. Sophomore Eliot Potvin put Georgia Tech on the board in between the two losses with a 7-5, 6-2 triumph over Pedro Graber.
King kept the Jackets alive with a 6-3, 6-4 win at No.4 over Luke Somen, but the Hokies would clinch the match as Muguruza was unable to overcome the Hokies' Delgado De Robles' 6-1, 6-4 win at the No. 2 spot. Gomez gave the Jackets their third point with a 6-4, 7-6 win over No. 59 Yoann Re soon after, but it was too little too late.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., July 5 – CHRIS Hansen, former head coach at Virginia Tech, has joined the North Carolina swimming staff as the full-time assistant coach, Head Coach Frank Comfort announced last week.
Hansen joins the UNC staff after coaching at Old Dominion in the 2002-03 school year and then working in the restaurant industry during the past year.
Hansen is a former Tar Heel assistant coach who served on Comfort's staff in 1994-95. He left Chapel Hill to be an assistant coach at Villanova for one year and then was the head coach at Virginia Tech from 1996-98. Hansen replaces Bill Tramel, who was a full-time assistant on Comfort's staff from 1995-2004. Tramel is now an assistant coach at Minnesota.
"I'm thrilled to have Chris Hansen return to our staff," says Comfort. "Hansen has spent a year previously on our staff here in Chapel Hill and knows our program well. He has coached at a myriad of schools and brings a varied resume to our program."
Hansen left Virginia Tech in 1998 to become an assistant coach at UNLV where he served from 1998-2002 before his Old Dominion stint. Prior to his first UNC stay, Hansen coached at East Carolina from 1992-94.
Hansen earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in health and physical education in May 1991 from Rowan University in Glassboro, N.J. In May 1994, he received a Master of Arts degree in exercise and sports science from East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., with concentration in sport and athletic administration.

Rabbi Arussi responds to letter from gay community calling for acceptance by Orthodox rabbis; those with homosexual tendencies should receive treatment, he says
Kobi Nahshoni
Published: 04.23.08, 19:32 / Israel Jewish Scene
Kobi Nahshoni
"Those who can live normally with a female should not develop these unnatural instincts in themselves," he wrote.
Arussi encouraged R. and his friends, and compared them to bastards born as a result of illicit relations, who could never marry according to halacha. "Our holy Torah is a way of life and, in contrast to the Christian faith, does not sentence us to celibacy, but rather, encourages and even commands us to be sexual.
However this is meant to make us holy, to purify our souls before the passionate intoxication of sexual lust, and therefore sexuality has been placed within the context of procreation, which builds the world," he wrote.

A Distant Thunder
Movies | Since its release, it has appeared in several film festivals, including the International Family Film Festival, where it won finalist for best short film
A Distant Thunder is a psychological thriller based on the horrific realities of partial-birth abortion.
The film depicts the life of Ann Brown, a pro-choice attorney serving as the prosecutor in a murder case involving an unborn child. During her preparation for the trial, Brown feels threatened by mysterious men and has repeated nightmares. At the trial, the main witness brought to the floor is the mother of a child who was the victim of partial-birth abortion. The story is resolved in a surprise ending that makes a powerful pro-life case.
The vision behind the 35-minute DVD began when director Jonathan Flora and his wife discovered they would not be able to have children. As Mr. Flora, an award-winning producer for Disney, researched ways to combat his and his wife's infertility, he stumbled across the issue of partial-birth abortion-a procedure in which a physician partially delivers a baby, then punctures its skull and removes its brain before completing the delivery.
"My wife and I were praying so hard to have children, and yet we're aborting 40,000 children a year," Mr. Flora told WORLD. "I'm amazed at the number of people who have no idea what partial-birth abortion is."
The couple's desire to have children, the facts about partial-birth abortion, and the lack of general knowledge about the subject led Mr. Flora to create a courtroom drama with a psychological twist. "I wanted to educate people on partial-birth abortion without being preachy, just entertaining," he said. The result is what he calls "a psycho-thriller."
Once Mr. Flora started writing his script for the film, he discovered that it was harder than he thought to get funding due to the film's controversial nature. "This project is not the norm for Hollywood," he said. "It goes against the current flow of what we hear Hollywood saying."
After two years of searching, Mr. Flora found Kip Perry, a television producer with 20 years of experience, who was willing to fund the film. "When I heard the idea, I was immediately captivated," Mr. Perry said.
Mr. Flora then began building a cast. Deborah Flora, Jonathan's wife and an actress, agreed to play the lead. "I'm given a case that is very challenging for me personally," Deborah said about her pro-choice character, who must fight for something that goes against her belief system.
Mr. Flora also recruited actors Ned Vaughn (The Hunt for Red October, Apollo 13, Courage Under Fire, and JAG), Peter Renaday (General Hospital and The Rivalry), and Laura Richardson (The Last Pitch and Sweety's Big Experiment).
Since its release, A Distant Thunder has appeared in several film festivals, including the International Family Film Festival, where it won finalist for best short film. Mr. Flora is currently marketing the film to conservative organizations, such as Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council, and the Wilberforce Forum. (The DVD is unrated, but parents are cautioned that the material may be too intense for children and preteens.)
Although much of Hollywood might oppose a movie as explicitly pro-life as this one, Mr. Flora sees the film as the beginning of a new trend. "Hollywood has another voice and it needs to be more vocal."

SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ MP3 8GB Review
In Sansa Fuse+ reviews, users and experts alike call this SanDisk MP3 player an excellent value. It impresses CNET with the number of features it offers for the price, including FM radio, voice recording, and Mac compatibility. In a Sansa Fuze+ review, CNET recommends this MP3 player as a solid, cheap alternative to an iPod, although the experts find fault with its screen resolution and navigation. Engadget agrees in a Sansa Fuze+ review that this MP3 player gives users a lot for the money and also has issues with the new touch navigation, finding it alternately too sensitive and unresponsive. In another Sansa Fuze+ review, the experts at Digital Trends admire the battery life of this MP3 player, noting that it offers the full 24 hours of playback promised.
The SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ boasts 8GB of storage space and a bigger screen than the older Sansa Fuze. It comes in five colors and supports almost any audio format, including MP3, WMA, secure WMA (used by Rhapsody and Napster), Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and AAC, as well as photos and videos.
Overall, it's tough to beat the specs on the Sansa Fuze+ in this price range.

Many central ministries have failed to comply with a government directive to put details of foreign and domestic tours by their ministers and senior officials in public domain, a year after the government made it mandatory to do so.
The Ministry of Personnel had on September 11, last year asked them to make public the details of tours including its nature, places visited, the period, number of people in the delegation and total cost incurred on such travels.
Except for Ministry of Personnel, which had put online the tour details till June this year, none of the central government ministries have put an up-to-date list so far on its website. The Prime Minister's Office has put the detail of tours undertaken by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh till April 2013 but failed to update the list of tours by its officials.
The tour details in respect of PMO officials is available on its website for January, February and March 2012.
The ministries of External Affairs, Agriculture, Power, Environment and Forests and Home Ministry among others have also failed to put the updated detail of tours undertaken by their ministers and officials on their websites.
"We have already asked all government ministries to provide full information in respect of foreign and domestic tours by ministers and senior officials online. A reminder will again be sent to them to comply with the directive at earliest," a senior Personnel Ministry official said.
The Ministry had in April this year reminded all ministries to comply with the government's directive in-toto and put tour details of their officials in public domain.
The suo motu decision to put detail of tours in public was taken after central government departments received frequent applications under the Right to Information Act seeking information on such visits.
The decision to put the tour details online is also in compliance with the RTI Act which mandates a public authority to provide as much information to public at regular intervals through various means of communications, the official said.
Each central government ministry or department has been directed to put the details including nature of the tour, places visited, period, number of people included in the official delegation and total cost of such travel undertaken by a minister or senior officer.
However, intelligence organisations, including RAW, IB, CBI and Enforcement Directorate, among others are exempted from the directive.

Thank you for choosing Skydive Alabama! We have been assisting people in making their first skydive for over 15 years! We are located just off I-65, between Birmingham and Huntsville, and not too far from Nashville.
For your first jump you have a couple of options:
If you choose a tandem skydive where you are paired with a USPA-certified instructor. This offers you a low-responsibility way to experience freefall for the first time. There is approximately 15-20 minutes of training on the ground before you are suited up and ready to board the airplane. This is absolutely the safest and most popular way to make your first skydive!
The other option is to do the Integrated Student Program or ISP. This is also known as Accelerated Freefall (AFF).
This involves a 6-8 hour ground school, starting at 8 a.m., where you will learn everything you need to know about skydiving solo. This is a seven jump program. After passing all seven jumps, you will be cleared to jump entirely by yourself.
As one of the top skydiving schools in the Southeast we can usually complete an entire ISP course in a weekend or two if you are available and the weather cooperates. If you are on a budget, then you can pay as you go doing one or two jumps every 30days until you get through the course. We also offer very reasonble bundle options if want to pay up front and save!

News Corp. sells MySpace for pennies on the dollar
MySpace, the beleaguered digital platform that once represented the vanguard of the social media segment, has been sold by parent News Corp. to cross-platform advertising firm Specific Media for roughly $35 million. News Corp.--which acquired MySpace in mid-2005 for $580 million--dismissed approximately 400 employees Wednesday in preparation for the ownership change. MySpace CEO Mike Jones said in an internal memo he will exit his post within the next two months.
At the time News Corp. acquired MySpace, the site was the darling of the new media sphere, with 20 million unique U.S. visitors every month. But MySpace's fortunes dwindled as users migrated to rivals like Facebook and Twitter--although research firm comScore reports MySpace still welcomes 35 million U.S. visitors each month, Facebook alone now touts 157 million American visitors per month. And as users fled the MySpace platform, advertisers followed suit. Market research firm eMarketer anticipates MySpace will earn about $183 million in worldwide ad revenues this year, down from $605 million at its peak.
MySpace reinvented its identity multiple times over, and in late 2010 it unveiled a comprehensive redesign that shifted its focus from social networking to digital music content. Although mobile users rose 4 percent late last year to more than 22 million, the revamped MySpace continued to struggle, and in January 2011 the company cut 47 percent of its staff--about 500 employees in all--in a broad restructuring spanning all of its operations.
Specific Media's plans for the MySpace property are unknown. Earlier this year, social entertainment destination MocoSpace also confirmed its interest in acquiring MySpace in the event News Corp. decided to sell.

Abernethy Forest
By James Carron
Enter the graceful world of the osprey and venture into the secretive bird of prey's territory on this easy, low level forest walk near Aviemore.
Loch Garten, the focal point of this route, is famous for its ospreys. Each spring, fresh from their African winter break, pairs nest in the extensive pine woodlands and bring up their young. Efforts to increase numbers of this all to rare creature have been extremely successful here and the RSPB has established a fascinating visitor centre above the tree-lined loch. It gives bird lovers outstanding views of the ospreys as they go about their business and, in addition to informative displays, a television link provides live pictures from a nearby nest so you can watch all the activity without disturbing the birds.
Around Loch Garten, there are plenty of other creatures to spot, including crested tits, Scottish crossbills and red squirrels.
Set off south from the car park, following an obvious track towards the loch. The way skirts beside the water. It offers tempting glimpses through the native Scots Pine trees, over the rippling blue surface to the low hills beyond. If you're really lucky, you may see an osprey swooping down to pluck a fish from the loch. Ignore a track on the right 500 yards from the start and continue south, soon heading away from Loch Garten into the trees.
The way curves gently right to reach Loch Mallachie. Follow the track along the north shore of the loch as it swings right to reach a junction. Turn left and a path skirts along the top of Loch Mallachie, a tiny square of water bounded on three sides by trees. Around 200 yards from the junction, the path bears right away from the water and heads north through the tall pines.
At the next junction carry straight on and stay with the path until a crossroads is reached. Turn right and follow the track north, rising gently over a low mound before descending to another junction. Turn left here and the track curves down, passing under a line of electricity pylons, to reach a small car park adjacent to the B970 at its junction with the Boat of Garten road.
Head for an information board at the top of the car park and pick up a path, running north-east, parallel to the road. The way swings right in due course and leaves the company of the B970. It continues to skirt along the edge of the forest, this time close by the minor road leading down to Loch Garten, to reach a junction where a forest track crosses your path. Cross the track and continue south along the path as it undulates gently to reach the car park a mile on.
Distance 5 miles/8km.

Slowly and carefully, the children of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Bangor, Maine, cut six-point stars out of blue construction paper. Then they taped the Stars of David in the windows of their Sunday school classrooms for passers-by to see.
On that same Sunday, members of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Augusta, Maine, huddled in the September drizzle for group photos. There was nothing unusual about the photos except for the six-pointed yellow stars members had pinned over their hearts.

The Last Vampire
by Patricia Rosemoor
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is pretty cliched. Ancient vampire found in a cave is brought back to life by scientists stumbling around with it, creating super soldiers. The side effects aren't great. Captain Scott Boulder is the leader of this special-ops team, unchanged. He has to team up with anthropologist Leah Maguire to hunt the vampire and to save humanity.
The romance feels a bit forced and the special ops guys come out of central casting. I found it very readable but nothing special.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345501047, Mass Market Paperback)Spawned of alchemy and blood, he was the last of a brutal, ancient line. Now he has just been reborn.
Deep in a Texas cave, the military unearths a five-hundred-year-old corpse, its desiccated flesh teeming with mysterious DNA that can transform mortals into beings of unimaginable power.
Captain Scott Boulder, leader of a Black Ops unit that has been endowed with these superhuman abilities, is among the first to benefit from the find. But when, with the help of a voodoo priestess, the creature is conjured to life, unleashing an ancient evil bent on reinstating its poisonous kind on earth, Scott knows he must return the monster to the grave. But this is no ordinary vampire. Once a brutal torturer in the Spanish Inquisition, it can bend the laws of science and magic in horrifying new ways.
Powerless to fight this evil alone, Scott grudgingly seeks the aid of reclusive anthropologist Leah Maguire, an expert in the mystical rituals of the past. To keep humanity from entering a new Dark Age, Scott and Leah will battle unspeakable horrors and will sacrifice everything they hold dear–perhaps even their own humanity–to destroy the last vampire.

Some additional info:
- Only the form closes, not the whole application.
- My.settings is not an option because I need 600 values to be stored.
- If the application closes, the data doesn't need to be stored any longer.
Is there anyone who has a solution?

Sexual Harassment Policy Statement
Sexual harassment is recognized as a violation of civil rights laws, U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission Rules and by the civil law courts. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is committed to providing its faculty, staff, and students with a sexual harassment-free environment.
The Chancellor, the Faculty Senate, and the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System approved the following policy statement. "Sexual harassment," it says, "is impermissible and unprofessional conduct, subject to disciplinary action in accordance with applicable due process requirements, including, but not limited to reprimand, temporary suspension, expulsion, or discharge of the harassing individual."
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
1. Submission to such conduct is made either as an implicit or explicit condition of an individual's employment, career advancement, grades, or academic achievement.
2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting that individual.
3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's academic or work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
The courts have ruled that sexual harassment itself is discriminatory. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is committed to maintaining a sexual-harassment-free environment. You have a right and an obligation to ask harassers to stop offensive behavior.
Any person (student or staff member) who believes s/he has been the target of sexual harassment should report it to the Equity & Affirmative Action (EAA) Office for resolution. Others (counseling center personnel, faculty, residence hall directors, deans, department chairs, personnel office staff, student employment office staff) should refer a complainant to the EAA Office unless a resolution is reached by contact with the aforementioned professionals. To discuss sexual harassment issues, contact Robert Tabor, Room 133, Old Main, ext. 2602.
III. Informal (Not Written) Complaint
A. The incident(s) will be recorded by the Assistant to the Chancellor for Equity & Affirmative Action (EAA) or other appropriate official and options for resolution will be discussed with the complainant.
B. If an informal complaint is brought to a person other than the Assistant to the Chancellor for Equity & Affirmative Action, the individual to whom the complaint is brought consults with the Special Assistant.
C. Other than collegial consultation, no action of any kind will normally be taken on any allegations in the absence of a written complaint.
D. If the Assistant to the Chancellor determines that there are compelling reasons to investigate the allegations of sexual harassment, s/he may do so even in the absence of a formal written complaint. Such an investigation will follow the procedures outlined in the University Handbook, Chapter 4C, Sections 7 & 9, and every attempt will be made to confine university action to collegial consultation whenever a complaint is made informally.
E. A written record of the complaint will be kept in the EAA Office for at least one year.
F. Complaints should be received within 300 days of the alleged discrimination under Wisconsin Statute. However, complaints about alleged discrimination may be received at any time under Title IX of the Education Act, 1972, and Title VII.
IV. Formal (Written) Complaints
A. Whenever the Assistant to the Chancellor for Equity & Affirmative Action, or other appropriate official receives a written complaint against a faculty or academic staff member, that official shall inform the complainant that the faculty or academic staff member against whom the allegations have been made must be promptly notified in writing of the allegations and that such notice includes the identity of the complainant. The complainant shall also be informed of the procedures for both informal and formal complaints as described in the University Handbook, Chapter 4, Sections 7 and 9.
B. The university official will offer to meet with the faculty or academic staff member against whom the complaint is made to afford the individual an opportunity to respond to the allegations. At this meeting, the faculty or academic staff member is reminded that retaliation is prohibited and that if retaliation occurs, it will be dealt with through the line administrative structure.
C. After reviewing the response, or in the absence of a meeting or response, the official shall either investigate the allegations to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to warrant disciplinary action or, in the case of faculty or academic staff, refer the complaint to the appropriate Mediation Subcommittee.
D. If an investigation does not lead to a mutually acceptable response, the official forwards a written report to the Chancellor or other appropriate administrator who may invoke a disciplinary response or refer the complaint to the appropriate Mediation Subcommittee.
E. Referrals, requests for hearings, and disciplinary action will be handled according to:
Chapter 4, Section 7 or 9 in the University Handbook and Chapters UWS 4, 6, 11, and 13 of the
Wisconsin Administrative Code for faculty and academic staff.
Various collective bargaining agreements, the UWSP Classified Employee Handbook and/or Chapter 230 of the Wisconsin Statutes, as appropriate, for classified staff.
UW-Stevens Point Community Rights and Responsibilities and Chapter UWS 17 of the
Wisconsin Administrative Code.
All members of the UWSP learning community are encouraged to log on to www.uwsp.edu/equity for online training.
