Researchers at the New Mexico State University's College of Agriculture are studying soil in the Las Cruces area to predict future climate change.
The soil holds clues to past climate information that shows researchers how the climate has changed over many years. By understanding past climate changes, researchers expect to be able to predict future climate change, said Curtis Monger, professor of plant and environmental sciences at NMSU. Monger is studying the soil in dried up lakes in New Mexico that once existed.
"The way science makes a prediction is by having a long history it can look back at," Monger said.
Monger explained that the biggest challenge is in finding soil that still contains environmental evidence. Finding the evidence will help researchers to answer the question about climate change and global warming. The debate continues to persist especially after Hurricane Sandy ripped into the East Coast. Many suspect this hurricane was due to global warming.
By studying the soil, Monger said researchers can see what plants grew in the soil in the past. Monger's research is helping researchers understand how regions respond to expanding arid conditions. This is especially important because many regions are experiencing a desertification of their lands.
"This research will help us understand what happened as the desert expanded and also contracted," Monger said.

Since there was a lot to this, I did it in MS Word, and am copying it in. Willl do it in a couple of insatallments to cut down on post size.
With 3 July rapidly coming down upon us another (and unnecessary) period of transition and uncertainty draws to a close. I say unnecessary because if Dynamite had simply held to a simple story telling principle, one that Marvel held on to from 1973 to 1995, life for Sonja fans would be a lot simpler and calmer but no less exciting. That principle is simply to tell the biography of 1 person living at 1 particular time in detail, starting with a logical beginning and taking it to an equally logical end, which does not necessarily mean the death of the character. Sonja in her first run had a career of over 40 years, starting when she was of less than twenty years (The Day of the Sword in Kull and the Barbarians #3) to somewhere in her 60s. (Call of the Wild in Conan the King # 28) That is a lot of territory to cover, and the printed stories did not come even close. In a much shorter span of time we have been treated to at least 6 Sonjas, with # 7 on the way.
On the plus side, the stories are consistently well written, the art (with 1 exception) varying degrees of excellent, and many of the old gems have been reprinted.
Red Sonja # 1: Red Sonja issues 0-34. The one I thought was going to start filling in those gaps, so bought en masse once I learned they were out there. She looked and acted like Sonja, had the same talent for getting into (and out of) dire difficulties, but some-thing was not quite right, like a photo of an old friend thats out of focus. It did not feel like Hyboria, there were too many errors in her back-story, out of character behaviors - one very horrendous, she had (per the chronology) kicked K.G.s butt royally way back when, and who the H--- is Scathach. The sad conclusion was that DE had invented an alternate universe, given us a different Sonja, and had not been up front about it.
Red Sonja #2: The Sonja of the one-shots and mini-series. Apart from a few clearly indicated exceptions, this Sonja could fit into the story line of any of the others at the readers choosing. Many of the stories are neutral enough regarding DE universe flags that they could even be credited to the original character.
Red Sonja #3: Red Sonja issues 35-49. Mr. Reed, beginning with the last portion of issue 34, does what is really the only logical thing the understandable unhappiness of many of the Sonja community notwithstanding. Since DE gave us a Sonja quite unlike the original and then chose to kill her off, the only viable way to deal with it (other than someone admitting that DE seriously messed up) was to introduce the concept of Red being an ongoing force that indwells a host in time of need, rather than being 1 specific person living at 1 specific time. That in one shot handles the variance and provides the rationale for continuing the series. This Sonja is engaging, very human, someone that anyone who is struggling with lifes challenges can identify with, and has a lot of potential. The story line is promising. Where do we go from here as we follow her to further exploits? But, it is abruptly cut in favor of starting a wholly new title and ending this one. The promised great place for new readers ended for yet another promised great place for new readers. A great loss, for the original word was this was to be at least a 2 year run, and there was reportedly enough projected material to go longer than that..

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Saint Leo Lions softball team (24-13, 4-3 SSC) defeated the Nova Southeastern Sharks (13-19, 2-11 SSC) by a score of 6-2, Friday evening from AD Griffin Sports Complex in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The first game of the Sunshine State Conference series featured much back and forth offense at the beginning of the contest, before the Lions eventually pulled away and took the lead.
It was Saint Leo's McKenzie Burns who collected the first hit of the game for either side, stepping to the plate as the Lions' leadoff batter and blasting a single through the left side to give Saint Leo their first base runner. On the next play, freshman Tiffany Thompson sacrifice bunted Burns over to second base to give the Lions' a runner in scoring position. One out later, Burns stole second base and was able to advance home by a throwing error from the Sharks' catcher, giving the Lions a 1-0 lead.
Nova Southeastern was able to answer back in the bottom of the first inning, scoring one run to tie the game. The Sharks' Lorena Spaulding led off the inning with a bunt single, and after a sacrifice bunt from Samira Tanaka and an error from Saint Leo, Spaulding stood safely on third base. Two pitches later, Nova's Chrissy Tabulov blasted a double to left-centerfield, scoring Spaulding and tying the game.
In the top of the second inning, the Lions collected another run to take the lead. Junior Brittany Ewing led off the inning with a single through the right side, and advanced to second when Chelsey Steedley drew a walk. Sophomore Angela Kafalas then sacrifice bunted Ewing and Steedley up one base apiece, and the groundout from Torrie Weindorf that followed allowed Ewing to safely take home.
The Sharks' third at-bat allowed Nova Southeastern to tack on another run and tie the game back up at two in the bottom of the third inning. It was again Lorena Spaulding who led off the inning, blasting a triple to right-center to immediate give the Sharks a runner in scoring position. One out later, Nova Southeastern's Chrissy Tabulov reached on a bunted fielder's choice, as Spaulding slide safely into home to tie the game yet again.
Never letting up, the Lions again took the lead in the top of the fourth inning, with Saint Leo's Kafalas drawing a two-out walk to jumpstart the offense. Weindorf then walked as well, and a Sharks throwing error allowed Kafalas to take third and Weindorf to safely take second base. On the next play, pinch hitter Kylee Hardesty stepped up the plate and double through the left side, scoring both Kafalas and Weindorf and putting the Lions up by two. With junior Jackie Carey pinch running on second base for Hardesty, Burns singled to left field and advanced Carey to third. On the next pitch, Burns stole second base, and in the Sharks' confusion, Carey stole home to give the Lions' their third run of the inning. On the next play, Thompson reached first base safely on a Sharks error, and Burns was able to turn on her speed and score to put the Lions up, 6-2.
Although Senior Megan Still started the game in the mound for the Lions, sophomore Ashley Ehlers collected the win in the effort. Still and Ehlers combined for seven strikeouts in the game, allowing just five hits and three walks.
Offensively, Saint Leo collected seven hits and five walks for the day, in addition to four stolen bases.
The Lions continue Sunshine State Conference action tomorrow when they take on the Nova Southeastern Sharks from AD Griffin Sports Complex in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 1 p.m.

#6. Dad Builds Baseball Team to Destroy Son's Former Coach
Robert Sanfilippo's 10-year-old son was kicked off his youth baseball team for poor performance, an act that Sanfilippo felt demanded retribution. He eschewed the sensible approach of teaching his son better baseball skills or maybe even paying to send him to one of those training camps, as none of that sane bullshit would absolve his son of the indignity of having failed in a competitive atmosphere. Instead, Sanfilippo decided to form his own damn baseball team for the sole purpose of crushing his son's old coach, John Reardon, and making him rue the day he ever considered cutting the boy. Sanfilippo spent $ 50,000 of his own money to recruit and train his team.
Getty "Find me a pitcher. 12. Male. Lefty. You have 48 hours."
This included $ 300 each for custom helmets with skull-and-crossbones insignia. Sanfilippo placed ads in local papers looking for angry players who had been kicked off other teams, which presumably read, "Totally non-psychotic baseball coach seeks jilted kids who wish to enjoy the sweet fruit of reprisal from the tree of revenge." In the high-stakes world of youth baseball, anything goes. The name of the team, no joke, was the Long Island Vengeance.
Did we mention that all this was done to bring down a team of 10- and 11-year-olds?
While this is certainly a bit of an overreaction to his kid getting cut from the team, it's not like it's illegal. But why should Sanfilippo stop there? So, in addition to creating the Vengeance, Sanfilippo scouted his competition … although by "scouted," we mean "stalked and harassed." Sanfilippo staked out Reardon's residence and used a telephoto lens to take pictures of his family's activities, like when his wife would walk their son to the bus stop in the morning. Sanfilippo would then text these photos to Reardon, along with threats to kidnap his son. We're not sure what he would have demanded in ransom had he carried out his threat, but it probably involved Reardon's team taking a dive in the ninth inning and an apology letter to Sanfilippo's son for going all "being totally fair" on him.
Unfortunately for Sanfilippo, the supposedly untraceable phone he was using to carry out his insane vendetta was, in fact, quite traceable, and as a result he was arrested and now faces 20 well-deserved counts of aggravated harassment.
#5. Pushy Parents Take Over Easter Egg Hunt
OK, so maybe you've already heard about crazy sports parents like Sanfilippo up there, the ones who treat every Little League game like losing will traumatize their kids forever. And after all, who hasn't gotten carried away at a sporting event once or twice? So let us ask you this: How trivial and ridiculous would a competitive event have to be before it's safe from even the craziest of overprotective parents? An Easter Egg hunt, you say?
Well, don't tell that to parents in Colorado Springs. What was supposed to be a friendly neighborhood activity for the local children turned into a melee when parents hijacked the hunt and scooped up the eggs themselves. Yes, the spectating mommies and daddies couldn't bear the thought of their little ones experiencing the soul-crushing setback of coming away without any eggs (despite the fact that there were thousands lying on the ground in plain sight), so they hurdled over the rope marking the boundary to the hunt and grabbed for those eggs. Chaos ensued.
Getty "You can touch the eggs after I've washed them. Bunnies carry salmonella."
As one parent related:
"You have all these eggs just lying around, and parents helping out. You better believe I'm going to help my kid get one of those eggs. I promised my kid an Easter egg hunt and I'd want to give him an even edge."
Damn straight! All children deserve every advantage they can get their little hands on, especially since their parents saw to it that they didn't get their hands on any actual eggs. What point is there in letting their children find eggs on their own when they can do it for them? Besides, their long adult arms are especially effective at shoving tiny competitors out of the way.
Getty "GET that shit outta my house!"
Organizers canceled the event the following year.
#4. Mom Hacks School Computer, Changes Grades
Catherine Venusto, a secretary with the Northwestern Lehigh School District, was like most parents in that she wanted to see her children succeed in the classroom. Sure, she could help them with their homework, or hire a tutor. But why not cut out the middleman? So, using the superintendent's username and password, she sneaked into the school's database to alter her children's grades over 100 times.
Eventually, Venusto left her job at the school to work for QVC. But even there, she continued to log in remotely to fiddle with grades. In one case, she changed her son's grade from a 98 to a 99, because damn it, any asshole can get a 98. She also changed one of her daughter's failing grades to a medical exemption. In this case, the medical hardship was presumably that she has a mother who is out of her mind.
Red flags finally went up when teachers noticed the grades changing themselves, meaning either somebody was up to no good or their computers were possessed. It probably didn't take long to figure out who was behind the hack. (Hint: It's someone connected to the children whose grades are being changed — oh, look at this, one of their parents used to work for the school.)
We should note that when investigators asked her why she did it, Venusto said it wasn't out of a desire to rig the game on behalf of her children, but out of boredom (apparently, selling kitsch items to OCD suffers wasn't stimulating enough for her). Her defense was that she didn't know that breaking into a computer system and changing grades was against the law. Hey, Ferris Bueller got away with it!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/11/2012 (1731 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
KITCHENER, Ont. — The hype of the World Junior Hockey Championship never seems to abate.
With that in mind, you will find nobody in the country happier to be going halfway around the globe to Ufa, Russia, to play the 2013 version than Team Canada head coach Steve Spott.
"The last three World Juniors, the pressure that's been on our kids and our staffs have been incredible," Spott said in an interview this week at his regular-job office as head coach of the Ontario Hockey League's Kitchener Rangers. "It was a very big show." Spott was an assistant coach at the 2010 tournament in Saskatchewan.
There, and at the following years in Buffalo and in Alberta under intense home scrutiny, Team Canada won medals, but not gold.
"There's the entertainment factor," Spott said. "There are outside pressures of our players and staff with regards to families. And the media. It was as big as anything I've been a part of.
"Now, the fact we're going to go to Russia, you'll get the purity of the hockey back. That's something I'm excited about. It's not going to be about all of the media and the five-star hotels and the pre-game meals that would put any wedding to shame.
"It'll just be the purity of the tournament and really take our players back into a time where they went to hockey tournaments. I think it'll be a lot more simple and I'm really excited about that. Having been a part of the tournament in Saskatoon, they're bigger than life.
"Going to this tournament is going to be really, really good, hopefully to get us back to a point where we appreciate just playing in a tournament." Spott, with ample experience as a World Junior assistant and other Team Canada assignments in the Under-17 and Under-18 ranks, understands the pressure.
"There's pressure any time you put on that blazer and for the players who put on that sweater," he said.
"That starts at the U-17 level, and it's ingrained in these kids.
"We welcome it. You wouldn't want to go into these tournaments just thinking you might get a medal. It's gold or nothing and it's nice to have that pressure." When he threw his hat into the ring for the appointment that was announced in May, the 44-year-old Toronto native was keenly aware that every Canadian hockey fan will be looking over his shoulder in the weeks ahead.
"Hockey Canada prepares you for it," he said. "They bring you in as an assistant with the Under 18 team, then you go as an assistant of the World Junior team, then as head coach of the Under 18 team, then hopefully you have an opportunity to take this job. It's not something they just thrust upon you, like 'Here's the life preserver, good luck.' "One thing we're very fortunate with in our country is the sharing of information among coaches. So dealing with the Ken Hitchcocks, the Dave Camerons, the Willy Desjardins, Donny Hay (all former head coaches), these guys have been spectacular. They've been willing to share, willing to lend advice, and that's really important to me.
"You just don't throw your name in the hat for something like this unless you know what you're getting into." Spott has the additional challenge this year of having players who might or might not be available because of any possible start of the NHL season.
"Obviously this is going to be a unique year because of the (NHL) work stoppage," he said. "We really have three different ghost rosters that we're looking at right now. One includes all of the NHL players, a second list that includes those players we think will be in the NHL and some that may be back, and a third list that includes all seven or eight that would just be in the NHL.
"Three different teams, but we're having conference calls every Tuesday at noon with the entire coaching staff to talk about the weekend in our individual leagues." As well as phone conferences, the head coach has been to Hockey Canada headquarters several times to oversee the big plan.
"We deal with the itineraries, the extra travel, food, meeting chefs and sports psychologists and sleep doctors," he said. "Hockey Canada, the one thing they do is they don't miss any details. When you look at this trip and the details involved, it's a big undertaking."

Talk of hydrogen-powered fuel cell cars has been going on for decades without any increase in the number of cars being produced, but several recent announcements indicate alternative fuel technology is in America's future.
This past week, Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada said the automaker is moving forward with its commitment to produce a fuel cell electric sedan for sale in the United States in 2015. He made the comment to reporters after a speech at the Economic Club of Washington D.C., according to the industry publication Automotive News.
It's not just Toyota
General Motors also recently announced it is expanding its collaboration with the U.S. Army to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology. The two will jointly test new hydrogen fuel-cell-related materials and designs before using them to build full-scale fuel cell propulsion systems. In July, GM and Honda announced a partnership to develop a next-generation fuel cell system and hydrogen storage technologies by about 2020. General Motors has been working on fuel cell technology since 1964.
The latest push for fuel cell technology is part of a larger plan at the federal level to reduce the nation's dependence on oil and to reduce the environmental impact of emissions from gasoline-powered cars. Some states are putting weight behind similar efforts, particularly to build an infrastructure to refuel these cars. Earlier this week, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that extends programs accelerating the turnover of older cars and invests in the development and deployment of advanced technologies. The bill includes up to a $20 million annual commitment to fund at least 100 hydrogen fuel stations.

Our Prophet (saas) foretold all the events that would take place in the End Times in great detail and even described, literally like a calendar, after which events Hazrat Mahdi (as) would appear and what he would do following his coming. All the events foretold by our Prophet (saas) have taken palce one after the other as of Hijri 1400 (1979), and in this way it has been shown that hundreds of hadiths are completely trustworthy.
One of the events of the End Times foretold by the Messenger of Allah (saas) is the upheaval going on in Egypt. Our Prophet (saas) has described in great detail which events that upheaval would follow. According to this account, an individual resembling a "rook" will cause uphevaal and disorder in Egypt following the sighting of a double-tailed comet:
Naim b. Hammad narrated in the Fitan, and Abu Jaffer from Muhammad b. Ali, that he said: A star the shape of a horn will appear in the East when Abbasid comes to Khorasan. When this comet first appeared, the people of the Prophet Noah (pbuh) perished, the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was cast into fire, Pharaoh and his people who fought against Prophet Moses (pbuh) perished, and John [Yahya] (pbuh) passed away.. When you see that comet, take refuge in Allah from the evil of fitna. THE BIRTH OF THAT STAR WILL BE AFTER THE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN AND MOON. THEN CORRUPTION WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE COMING OF A 'ROOK' IN EGYPT. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamatal-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 32)
Our Prophet (saas) reveals that this individual will live in a time of corruption and when a double-tailed comet is sighted. Lulin, the comet in question, came closest to the Earth in February 2009. In that regard, the hadith is clearly referring to the present day. Therefore, our Prophet's (saas) description of "a rook appearing in Egypt" completely matches Hosni Mubarak.
Our Prophet (saas) has also provided other details about this individual. He will apparently have a flattened nose:
Daylami related from Abu Ali Mardani (with his series of accounts), and he from Abu Zer and he from the Messenger of Allah (saas). He said: A MAN WITH A FLATTENED NOSE WILL EMERGE FROM THE QUREYSH IN EGYPT. HE WILL BE DEFEATED, HIS POSSESSIONS WILL DISAPPEAR AND HE WILL FLEE TO RUM. He will bring them to Alexandria and he will fight against Muslims and this will be the first bloody slaughter.
As seen from the picture, Hosni Mubarak's nose will be visibly flattened, just as described in the hadith.
This is not the end of the details provided by our Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) also says that this person will be tall, broad-shouldered and possess great military force:
Another account from Kab states, A member of the Mahzum tribe will assume the leadership, and after him Mawla will come, and after him A TALL, POWERFUL, BROAD-SHOULDERED EGYPTIAN WHO DESTROYS THOSE WHO OPPOSE HIM. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar,p. 30)
Each of the details revealed in this hadith is in complete agreement with Hosni Mubarak.
For example, Hosni Mubarak had "being of tall stature" added to the list of presidential preconditions. He himself is also "tall," as described in the hadith.
Another characteristic cited in the hadith is that this person "will destroy those who oppose him." Indeed, throughout his years as head of state, Mubarak was known as the "last pharaoh" because of his dictatorial regime and oppression, especially of Muslims.
Our Prophet (saas) also refers to this person being "physically powerful and broad shouldered." With both his own military experience and also his 25,000 personal army, Mubarak appears to be very powerful, and is visibly physically strong and broad-shouldered.
In describing all these developments, the Messenger of Allah (saas) also imparted the glad tidings that corrution and upheaval will come to an end with the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
... THEY WILL BE FREED FROM CORRUPTION THROUGH HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman)
... ... a corruption will appear such that nowhere will be free of it, AND WHEN THIS CORRUPTION ENDS IN ONE PLACE IT WILL IMMEDIATELY SPREAD IN ANOTHER DIRECTION, AND THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL A HERALD FROM THE SKY CALLS OUT, "O PEOPLE, YOUR LEADER IS NOW THE MAHDI.(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 22)
According to the tidings imparted by our Prophet (saas), following a dark time full of fear and violence, Allah will bestow great happiness of mankind through Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

Director Jeong Ji-woo, who directed "Close to You" and "Modern Boy" and also wrote "Moss", returns with a film based on a bestseller by Park Bum-sin. The film is a melodrama dealing with a triangle relationship involving poet Lee Jeok-yo (Park Hae-il) whos in his 70s, writer SEO Ji-woo (Kim Moo-yeol) in his 30s, and a 17 year-old girl, Eun-kyo (Kim Go-eun-I). In fact, the original novel was a sensational hit, which was described as a story that should be read at night by the readers. This film is expected to succeed the expectations of bestselling novels that were adapted to the big screen in 2011 such as "The Crucible" and "Punch". In addition, Park Hae-il, who had the leading role in 2011 with the No. 1 box office film, "Arrow, The Ultimate Weapon", will prove his star power with this film once again. Park had to spend 10 hours every day to apply make-up in order to transform into an elderly in his 70s. For such transformation, one of the Koreas best make-up artists, Song Jong-hui, joined the production team.

Graduate Academic Policies
Academic success, a goal that Western wants all students to achieve, can be measured in many ways. This section identifies and explains the standards that Western has established as measures of academic success and indicates the policies and procedures that apply to the students who fail to meet the standards. The Vice President for Academic Affairs, in consultation with the Faculty Academic Policies Committee and the Faculty Senate, is responsible for the development and implementation of these academic standards and policies.
Unit of Credit
Western uses the semester hour as the basic unit of credit. The semester credits assigned to a course are based on the specific learning objectives and the expected outcomes. In addition, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education has established minimum class times for credit courses. In the most common type of course (lecture/discussion), one credit requires at least 750 minutes of time in class. In laboratory courses, students are expected to spend 1,500 to 2,250 minutes in class for each unit of credit earned.
Course Numbering System
500-599 Level Graduate Courses: Courses at this level are non-degree oriented and typically intended for continuing education and professional development. Course formats include workshops and seminars and are primarily practice-based. 600-699 Level Graduate Courses: Courses at this level are intended for degree-seeking students. They are more than an extension of the baccalaureate education; they are qualitatively different, and at a minimum, students should be required to undertake original scholarly/creative activity, assume greater responsibility for mastering the subject matter, and develop close working relationships with professors. It is assumed that students taking graduate-level courses have acquired the ability to use language and information sources effectively, and engage in analytical thought and creative processes.
Academic Load
During a 16-week semester a student must take a minimum of nine credits to be considered full-time, and a course load of 12 credits may be taken without special approval. During a 10-week summer session a student must take a minimum of six credits to be considered full-time, and a course load of nine credits may be taken without special approval. An additional three credits of student teaching, internship, or other on-the-job credit may be taken. A student may enroll in more credits in either session if the student's grade-point average is at least 3.500 from most recent course work and a petition is filed with the signatures of the graduate advisor, department chair/director, and the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies.
Course Descriptions
Course descriptions provide a summary of the course content. If there is a prerequisite that must be met before a student can register for the course, this information is stated in the course description. Prerequisites may include specific courses, class standing, declared major, and other requirements. If there is a corequisite course in which a student must be registered, this information is also stated in the course description.
After classes have begun in a 16-week semester, students may add an open class without petition until 5 p.m. on the fourth day of the semester. After the fourth day and until the end of the official drop period, students may add a course only with approval by the instructor. The add deadline for any course that meets for less than 16 weeks is two days. The student is responsible for understanding and communicating with the instructor, understanding course policies, and understanding any consequences of adding a course after the first class meeting.
Students may drop a course during the first 15% of the class meetings. This rule applies for both classes that meet for a full semester and classes that meet in sessions shorter than a full semester. (Note the difference between this rule and "withdrawal" explained below.)
Western State College of Colorado faculty reserve the right to drop students from class rolls if they miss the first class meeting. Not all instructors require attendance the first class meeting, but many do. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all their first class meetings. If circumstances such as weather or flight arrangements prevent students from attending the first class session, it is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor of each course to request that their seat in the class be held.
Withdrawal from Individual Courses
After the official add/drop period, a student may only withdraw from a course with approval of the course instructor and the student's academic advisor. Students who obtain these authorizations will receive a grade of "W" (which has no effect on the student's grade-point average; refer to sections on Grades and Grade-Point Average that follow). If two-thirds of the scheduled class time in any given course has been completed, the student is not allowed to withdraw, and a grade for the course (which does affect the student's grade-point average) is recorded. Specific withdrawal deadlines are published in the Course Schedule booklets for each semester. Course instructors may also withdraw a student from a class for reasons such as inadequate academic progress or attendance, academic dishonesty, or disruptive behavior.
Withdrawal from College
Students who wish to withdraw from the College may do so any time during the semester. Contact the Vice President for Student Affairs to initiate an official withdrawal from the College. Students should also consult with course instructors and their academic advisor. After the official Add/Drop period, but before the withdrawal deadline, a student wishing to withdraw entirely from the College will be given a grade of "W" for all courses except variable-credit courses. Once two-thirds of the scheduled class time in any given course has been completed, a student wishing to withdraw from the College will be given a "W" or a "WF" grade for each course, unless the course instructor deems that an "Incomplete" (see definition in the section on Grades and Grade-Point Average that follows) would be a more appropriate grade.
Withdrawal from Variable Credit Courses.
After 15 percent of the course has been completed, a student wishing to withdraw from the College during a term when he or she is enrolled in a variable credit course (i.e., internships, practicums, field experiences, independent studies, etc.) must receive the approval of the supervising instructor. If a student obtains this authorization, a grade of "W" or a "WF" may be assigned. The coordinator of the specific program can explain the guidelines and consequences resulting from dropping or withdrawing from selected courses.
Withdrawal in Absentia.
If illness, injury, or other circumstances prohibit a student from being on campus to request withdrawal from the College in person, the student may notify the Student Affairs office (970) 943-2011 and request that the Vice President for Student Affairs act as the student's agent in notifying course instructors and the student's advisor.
College Graduation Requirements
Master's degree programs have a minimum requirement of 30 semester credits numbered at 600 and above. Programs may require additional credits, some of which may allow up to six credits (not applied toward the earned undergraduate degree) below the 600 level on the degree plan from the respective department. The maximum number of allowable transfer credits is nine credits.
Residency Requirements
Every candidate for a degree must earn a minimum of 21 credits from Western State College of Colorado. This 21 credit minimum must include the final credit earned.
For the purpose of calculating a student's grade-point average, numerical values are assigned to letter grades on the following scale:
|4.000 grade points
|2.670 grade points
|1.330 grade points
|3.670 grade points
|2.330 grade points
|1.000 grade points
|3.330 grade points
|2.000 grade points
|0.670 grade points
|3.000 grade points
|1.670 grade points
|0.000 grade points
Grade-Point Average
To obtain grade points earned in a course, multiply the number of credits per course by the number of points for the grade earned in the course. A minimum grade of B in each course applied to a degree program is required. A minimum of a 3.000 grade-point average is required for graduation. Credits transferred from another institution are not calculated in the Western grade-point average.
Probation and Dismissal
When a student's course grade is below a B- in any graduate course, the student and the department must be notified, and the student shall be placed on academic probation. In order to be removed from probation, the student must retake the course to replace a grade lower than a B-. In the semester following placement on probation, the student's grades in each course must be at least a B- for that semester's course work taken or he or she shall be dismissed at the conclusion of that semester. In extenuating circumstances, the student may petition the Academic Policies Committee for an extension of the probationary time period. The dismissal decision is in force unless a temporary extension is approved by the Academic Appeals Committee.
Thesis and Non-Thesis Requirements
The minimum requirements for Master's degrees offered may be fulfilled by following either Plan I or Plan II as described below.
Thesis Plan (Plan I):
Students must earn a minimum of 30 semester credits of graduate work, including four to six thesis credits. Courses must be at or above the 600 level.
Graduate students working toward a master's degree under Plan I earn four to six thesis credits.
A student faculty committee must be established to guide the student's research. This committee must consist of the student's major advisor (who also serves as committee chair), one faculty member from the student's major department, and one faculty member from outside of the department.
The student's faculty committee must approve the final draft of the thesis, which must be filed with the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies before graduation. The thesis must comply with specifications outlined in Directions for Preparing Master's Thesis, which is obtainable from the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies, and the student must have received a preliminary thesis format approval from the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies. Graduating students are responsible for observing the deadlines published in the schedule of classes for thesis approval. The record of the thesis defense must be approved by the student's faculty committee and the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies and filed with the Registrar before graduation.
Non-Thesis Plan (Plan II):
Students must earn a minimum of 32 semester credits of graduate work. Courses must be at or above the 600 level to meet this requirement. Graduate work includes a Graduate Capstone, which the student's advisor will facilitate. Graduate Capstone credits are determined by the specific program requirements. If the Graduate Capstone is not completed at the end of the term in which the student is registered, an In Progress (IP) grade or a Failing (F) grade may be reported.
Time Limit for Degree Completion
There is a maximum of five years for completion of a master's degree from the student's initial enrollment. A graduate student who does not complete all degree requirements within the specified period of time may be required to validate past course work. Course validation may be done in one of the following ways: (1) retake the course final examination, (2) take an oral examination over course content, or (3) prepare a paper on the course content. In some cases students may be required to retake the comprehensive examination (dependent upon the respective department's requirements).
Active Status
To maintain active status, graduate students must register in at least one graduate course per academic year. Maintaining active status is critical and is required in order to participate in the program as a graduate student. Students who plan to be inactive for any academic year must complete and submit a Leave of Absence form (available from Registration Services). Students may apply for a leave of absence for up to two consecutive years. Students who do not register for a class and do not request a leave of absence must request readmission to reactivate their status. Students who do not register for more than two years and who have not taken a leave of absence during that time, must reapply for admission into their graduate program.
All graduate students are initially assigned an academic advisor from the department from which they are seeking a degree. The graduate advisor is identified by the department chair. The graduate advisor assists the student in developing a degree plan. The degree plan is filed in the office of Registration Services.
Degree Plan
Required degree courses, electives, course substitutions, and accepted transfer credits must be approved by the student's advisor, the department chair and/or director, and the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies. The degree plan with pertinent signatures must be submitted to the office of the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies.
Comprehensive Examinations
When a comprehensive examination is given, the following rules apply:
- Students must be registered when they take the examination.
- The examination is to be given by the student's faculty committee and consistent with the requirements established by the department for the specific graduate program.
- A majority of the committee must approve the examination.
- The examination may be oral, written, or both.
- A student who fails the comprehensive final examination may retake the examination only once (dependent upon the respective department's requirements).
Application for Admission to Candidacy
A student who wishes to become a candidate for a master's degree must file a completed Application for Admission to Candidacy with the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies by the appropriate deadline for graduating that semester. A student on probation is not eligible to be awarded a degree until he or she is removed from probation.
Graduation Audit and Participation in Commencement
Registration Services performs graduate degree audits and certifies graduation requirements, and the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies authorizes students on the graduation list. Requests for exceptions and special consideration are reviewed by the Academic Policies Committee, and recommendations are made to the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies. All requirements must be completed prior to participation in commencement.
Academic Integrity
As members of the academic community, students are expected to recognize and uphold standards of intellectual and academic integrity. The College assumes, as a basic and minimum standard of conduct in academic matters, that students will be honest and that they will submit for credit only the products of their own efforts. Both the ideals of scholarship and the need for practices that are fair require that all dishonest work be rejected as a basis for academic credit. They also require that students refrain from any and all forms of dishonorable conduct in the course of their academic work. Dishonest work may include, but is not limited to, the following infractions:
Plagiarism. Presenting another person's work as one's own, including paraphrasing or summarizing of the works of another person without acknowledgment and the submitting of another student's work as one's own is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism frequently involves a failure to acknowledge in the text, notes, or footnotes the quotation of paragraphs, sentences, or even a few phrases written or spoken by someone else.
Cheating on Examination. Giving or receiving unauthorized help before, during, or after an examination is considered cheating. Examples of unauthorized help include the use of notes, texts, or "crib sheets" during an examination (unless specifically approved by the instructor).
Unauthorized Collaboration. Submission for academic credit of a work product, or a part thereof, represented as being one's own, which has been developed in substantial collaboration with assistance from another person or source, is a violation of academic honesty. It is also a violation of academic honesty to knowingly provide such assistance. Collaborative work specifically authorized by an instructor is allowed.
Falsification. It is a violation of academic honesty to misrepresent material or fabricate information in an academic exercise or assignment (e.g., false or misleading citation of sources or the falsification of the results of experiments or of computer data).
Multiple Submissions. It is a violation of academic honesty to submit substantial portions of the same work for credit more than once without the explicit consent of the instructor(s) to whom the material is submitted for additional credit.
Consequences of Violations Violations of academic integrity may result in the following: a grade of "F" or a "zero for the assignment, an "F" for the course, withdrawal from the course, or suspension or expulsion from the College. Serious violations of academic integrity are reported to the Office of Academic Affairs.
Academic Due Process for Students
It is the objective of these procedures to provide for the prompt and fair resolution of the types of problems described herein which students may experience at Western:.
Complaint. An informal claim by an affected student that a faculty member or an academic administrator has violated, misinterpreted, or improperly exercised his/her professional duties.
Complainant. An affected student who makes a complaint.
Grievance. A written allegation by an affected student that a faculty member or an academic administrator has violated, misinterpreted, or improperly exercised his/her professional duties. The grievance should include the possibility of a remedy.
Grievant. An affected student who files a grievance.
Respondent(s). The faculty member(s) and/or academic administrator(s) identified by the affected student as causing or contributing to the complaint or grievance.
Grievance Committee. A committee composed of one faculty member selected by the grievant, one faculty member selected by the respondent, and three faculty members selected by the vice president for academic affairs (or assignees).
Time Limits. When a number of days are specified herein, they shall be understood to exclude Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, College vacation days, and other days when the College is not in session and holding classes.
Academic Administrator. Professional personnel of the College, other than teaching faculty, who are in positions to make academic decisions affecting students, including but not limited to, department chairs, associate vice president for academic affairs, vice president for academic affairs, and the President
Informal Complaint Procedure
The complainant shall discuss the problem with the respondent(s). If the problem is not mutually resolved at this time, the complainant shall confer with the immediate supervisor(s) of the respondent(s). (This usually will be the chair(s) of the department(s) to which the respondent(s) is assigned.) If satisfactory resolution is still not achieved, the complainant must confer with the vice president for academic affairs.
Formal Grievance Procedure
If the complaint is not suitably resolved, the student has the right to file a grievance with the vice president for academic affairs within six months of the time that the grievant could or should have known of the action which is the basis of the problem. This written allegation shall indicate what has already been done to resolve the complaint. Preservation of relevant documents and of precise records of actions taken is advantageous. The grievance committee shall be formed under the supervision of the vice president for academic affairs, and a hearing shall be scheduled within 15 days after that officer receives the written grievance from the grievant. The grievance committee shall hear testimony from the grievant, the respondent, and whomever else it deems appropriate. Within 15 days after completion of the hearing(s), the grievance committee shall submit its findings to the vice president for academic affairs for implementation as deemed appropriate by that officer. A copy of the finding of the committee and of the implementing decision of the vice president for academic affairs shall be given to the grievant and the respondent. The grievant may withdraw the grievance at any point in the proceedings by doing so in writing to the vice president for academic affairs.
The vice president for academic affairs may grant an extension of the time limit for good cause.
If the grievance has not been resolved satisfactorily after the above procedures have been completed, the grievant is advised that he/she may appeal to the President of Western State College of Colorado, and ultimately, to the Board of Trustees.

A musical maestro diagnosed with an incurable heart condition turned to pole dancing to keep fit and has found it is making her stronger.
Tess Dunn, 23, was diagnosed with a hole in the heart after collapsing with chest pains at the age of 17.
The music graduate was told not to do any sport, but has found pole dancing is strengthening the muscles around her heart.
Tess, of D'Arcy Road, Tiptree, is set to become the face of a British Heart Foundation campaign next year.
She said: "I can't jog, run or go to the gym like everyone else, so I was thinking I needed to find something to keep me going.
"I googled it and found a class in Colchester, so I went along on my own for a trial.
It's two hours a week – they let me do it at my own pace and I've made so many friends."
Tess fell ill while she was at Colchester Institute.
She said: "I was rushed to hospital and had to undergo all sorts of tests and X-rays, which was a shock because I thought I was going to be in and out."
Within a year of being diagnosed, Tess started a music degree at Southampton University.
The former Thurstable School pupil said: "I had to get my head around dealing with it all on my own, away from my parents, so it was a big step and a test to see if I could handle it.
"At times I thought 'I can't do this' and went home, but then I'd go back. I had to juggle my health and my work, but I was still able to party with friends and I learnt to tell how much I could handle, which I found out by pushing to my limits."
Since gaining her degree, Tess has worked as a music tutor and as a teacher in Qatar and is due to start a masters degree in music therapy.
Tess's condition means she gets tired quickly and cannot do strenuous exercise.
She said: "For every day where I have plans, I try to have a rest day in between.
"I know if I go out with friends for the day and do lots of walking, the next day I will feel rubbish and have headaches or migraines."
"It is only each morning that I know how I'll feel, so even if I do have plans, I sometimes have to cancel them."
Tess will become the face of a British Heart Foundation campaign next year, featuring on posters and in advertising campaigns.
She said: "I really want to support the foundation and spread awareness. My condition is incurable, so I'm fighting for a cure, but there are so many different types that need money for research."

Full Penn Men's Preview
PHILADELPHIA – Saturday and Sunday mark the culmination of week's of prepartion for the University of Pennsylvania women's track and field team as they head to the 2013 Heptagonal Indoor Championships at Harvard's Gordon Track in Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 23-24.
The Ivy League championship meet will kick off Saturday at 11 a.m. with the women's pole vault and weight throw finals and will conclude at 8 p.m with the final two events of the pentathlon. On Sunday, the first event is the men's high jump at 10:30 a.m. and concludes with the 4x400-meter relay finals at 4:15 p.m.
At Heptagonals, only the top-six finishers score in each event. Entering the weekend, Penn has nine markings in the top-six of the Ivy League.
Penn will have a lot of scoring opportunities in the sprints behind sophomore Lydia Ali, senior captain Nony Onyeador and junior Gabrielle Piper. Ali and Onyeador are favorites to reach the podium in the 60 meters after each posted the league's fourth-best time of 7.69. Ali did so at Penn State on Feb. 2 and Onyeador did it at the Armory on Jan. 12. Piper will look to defend her Heptagonal title in the 60-meter hurdles as she enters the weekend ranked fourth among Ivy runners with a season-best time of 8.72.
In the field, freshman Theresa Picciallo is one of the league's top shot putters. She has the Ivies' fourth-best throw this year and holds the school record with a mark of 14.11 meters (46 feet, 3 1/2 inches). Meanwhile, Amira Privott-Yeiser ranks sixth in the pentathlon.
Penn also has a pair of pole vaulters hoping to join each other on the podium. Senior Davielle Brown ranks fourth among Ivy Leaguers with her clearance of 3.80 meters (12-05-50 ft.) on more than one occasion. Senior Jillian Hart's career-best effort of 3.70 meters (12-01.50 ft) is sixth in the league entering the weekend.
The Quakers also have a great chance to add some extra points in a pair of relays. Penn ranks sixth in the 4x800-meter relay and fifth in the distance medley relay.
Last year, Piper won her first career Heps title as she broke her school record in the 60-meter hurdles for the second straight day. In addition, then-senior Catherine Okoukoni was the runner-up in the triple jump as the Quakers finished seventh as a team at the 2012 Heptagonal Indoor Championships inside Cornell's Barton Hall.
A full recap of the 2013 Heptagonal Indoor Championships will be available at PennAthletics.com shortly after the completion of each day's events.

Is it possible? Can the Rangers miss Michal Rozsival that much?
Maybe it was a bit surprising that the Rangers were so comfortable going up and down the ice with the speedy Canadiens early on, but then again, maybe that got them away from their grinding game a bit. Because, except for Sean Avery's line, there wasn't the usual dose of forecheck.
And I must say, I was surprised the way the Canadiens played in their own zone, in the imaginary rectangle in front of the net, getting sticks and skates on passes and shots. Very surprised.
1) There are three reasons to worry just a little bit:
a) The goals are not coming, not from Gaborik, and not very much from anybody, really. We probably expected them to struggle scoring more than they did the first half. Maybe now we don't expect them to struggle any more. But they are struggling at the moment.
b) The power play is really bad again. It only had two chances — the first was embarrasingly bad, the second ended in eight seconds because Marc Staal was forced to take a penalty.
c) Faceoffs were only 26-22 in favor of Montreal. But the Rangers lose too many. Too many. And for a team that needs possession, that's not good. And I don't know if it's fixable.
2) I don't blame Brandon (Monster) Dubinsky for being upset with P.K. Slewfoot. I'd be more upset with the officials. I understand that the NHL wants to take away all the little hold/grab/hook garbage. But you can't call that ticky-tack penalty on Dan Girardi and not call that obvious, blatant, dirty slew foot five feet away from the referee who was looking right at it.
3) Henrik Lundqvist (and his scoring streak) was good again. But … there was the NHL-nightly, obligatory bad-angle goal against a goaltender leaving his post to needlessly go to his knees. Epidemic.
4) Was anybody else surprised when Wojtek Wolski started spitting out those Canadian-accented "aboots" between periods? He did some good things, some very good things, showed some real skill and nose for the net. But I also thought he was slow on a line change on the tying goal.
5) Brian Leetch is just so much better in studio than … well, let's leave it at that.
6) Ryan McDonagh has looked pretty good after a nervous first NHL game.
7) Last night, and for all of this season, we don't say or hear enough how solid and dependable a player Ruslan Fedotenko is, and has been, for this team.
8) Remember to bend your knees when you shovel the snow.

I begin with flap meat, carne asada rub, and fresh juice from orange. Let marinate for full 24 hours. (Sometimes, I include minced garlic as well).
Prep the pit with 100% hardwood briquets and a hunk o' lump (mesquite) for that traditional delicious smokey flavor.
I like to go slow, indirect (start to finish)
First libation finished, time to plate. Homemade Mexican brown rice, Hass avocado chunks, and refried black beans topped with cheese of the day (Ordinarily, I would go with a queso fresco, but had to use Gouda here), accompany the carne. Oh, and topped with plenty of fresh salsa, of course (mmmmm... with cilantro). Have a margarita!

A lot of people feed families. There are tons of single working mothers out there that manage. That doesn't qualify them to be president or VP. And a lot of them would know better than to let ambition get in the way of raising their families.
So you'd have all women clothed in burkhas? The single moms are receiving $$$ from Uncle Sam? Where's the real father?

Palin has a pregnant teenage daughter and a disabled infant and now she wants to spend less time with them than she's already been doing.
The 17-year-old daughter has a boyfriend, he quit high school to work at a job for $50k.
They Biden's/Palin's would be living in Blair House, replete with staff.. Al Gore's kids made do, what's the difference with it being a woman vice president this time. Male chauvanism? I dunno if she breast feeds..?
-uncle brokie continues-
I have grown numerous gardens, Mr. fucking Greenjeans. And hate to disabuse you of yet another of your many faulty misconceptions, but in my backyard you can see at one time or another foxes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, a big fat woodchuck, possums, and frequent deer, not to mention geese and the occasional duck. I live next to a state park. I don't shoot any of them, I guess that makes me more of a pussy than Palin.
I was referring to growing human children, not vegetable gardens.. Now, I wasn't insulting you on being a vegetarian, if that what you are implying - is - that you don't shoot/kill/eat animals?
I will eat deer, but geese and duck are things my brother will hunt/kill/eat. The other critters named above are for those who can survive on $5.55 a day, or less. Keep the buckshot handy for those human vagabonds/vagrants.

Like I said, I am not a particular Biden fan. But at least he has stuff in his head that he can forget.
Like going around saying a drunk driver killed his wife and child? He gets away with that because the driver has passed away, but his daughter said he was cleared of that by the state police. He was a tee-totaler.
-uncle brokie-
We don't have to worry about Palin forgetting too much.
Why, are you saying that Katie Couric didn't edit out all the good stuff? Ditto for the other libbie?
-uncle brokie-
Maybe the names of her kids: Cog, Gear Shift, Whiffle Ball...
But it's OK for Frank Zappa to name his son Dweezil, and his daughter Moon Unit..
-tomas earlier-
Isn't there anyone here that's been in the military besides me?
-uncle brokie-
What's that got to do with anything?
You wouldn't understand..
PS - Tomas was given to me by the neighborhood kids I ran with.
Palin named you.. Brokenhead? :-)

Miss USA is an Arab!
Donald Trump did it again.
Last year he brought us the topless bigot parade of Carrie Prejean, and now this year he's gone ahead and pissed in the "Real America's" face by naming Arab-American and Miss Michigan Rima Fakih Miss USA 2010. Not only that, she beat Miss Oklahoma who supported the controversial Arizona immigration law. If Texas doesn't secede by noon, it's the Mexican's fault. The AP reports:
During the interview portion, Fakih was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance, and she said she believed it should because it's costly.
"I believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it's a controlled substance," Fakih said.
Woolard handled the night's toughest question, about Arizona's new immigration law. Woolard said she supports the law, which requires police enforcing another law to verify a person's immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally.
She said she's against illegal immigration but is also against racial profiling.
What the-? That's like saying you're for the Holocaust but against genocide. Or you like to make peanut butter but only with white people instead of peanuts. Which brings me to an important point, why the hell are we even asking questions in a beauty pageant that features a swimsuit competition?
ASSISTANT: What if we asked them about politics?
TRUMP: BAHAHAHAHA! Women and politics. Hilarious! Make it happen or I'll shoot you out of a catapult.
ASSISTANT: Yes, my liege.
TRUMP: *eats a giant turkey leg*
UPDATE: And her crown's already in trouble.

Wednesday Hockey Talk
May 14 2008 12:40PM
Wings (3-0 lead) Pens (3-0 lead).
How good are the Cup Finals going to be this year? Holy Crap. Even we're excited.
There's too much hype building up.
I predict 4 game and out final.
crosby? crosby crosby crosby.
hope Franzen can shake off the fog and play - did he dominate Colorado single handedly while concussed?
I'm hoping Georges scores a goal, and gets his name on the mug.
Pittsburgh in 6, big upset, Hossa Conn Smythe.
The Pens clearly think this is their year or they wouldn't have signed Hossa. Not a chance he is coming back next year, not with Malkin set to earn a Crosby level contract shortly.
I wouldn't bet against the Pens playing like there is no tomorrow.
Pens in 6
Wings in 7. Pens are good but have no real experience on the team.
I got to agree with Ed. The pens are great but other than Roberts I'm not sure if anyone on the team has ever won a cup. Whereas the nearly the entire Detroit team seems to have at least one ring.
I swear that lady works in my office. I agree with Deno and Ed - Pens will win.

Too square
Still have it, but don't wear it. The corners are too sharp, not that attractive. The middle diamond is a nice size for Overstock, but just don't care for the squareness.Read More

I proposed over ten years and the ring is still as beautiful today and so is my wife.Read More
Looked better in Person!
Loved this ring and so did my Fiance. I was super happy with how excited she is about itRead More
spectacular choice
Remains, after all these years, the most elegant and unique diamond ring; compliments are constant. What a lovely choice!Read More
Quality is not there
Although very pretty, this ring had no sparkle or shine - there was an obvious black spot in the center stone. To spend this kind of money, you are better off going to a jewelry store. Also, there are so many more benefits to that because this does not come certified. Not worth the money...returned! Which Overstock made easy by the way!Read More
Most Helpful
I really wanted to keep this ring, but the center stone just would not shine the way I wanted a diamond to shine. The little diamonds had all the sparkle. Sorry, this ring went back. It also appeared to be off-centered.Read More
Engagement ring
My son-in-law could not afford to purchase this ring as a set so he bought the engagement ring. When he went back to purchase the band, which is designed to fit the shape of the ring, it was not available. The ring is beautiful and my daughter receives many compliments but she would have been so much happier with a matched set. So....if you like the ring and the band then buy it as a set so you won't be stuck with a wedding set that doesn't match.Read More
I just received this ring today! I was not disapointed when I opened the box. The diamonds are very pretty and shiny. I was afraid the center diamond would be off center or murky like others had said but it is perfect. Every diamond is in place. I have been looking for quite a while and I knew that this is the style I wanted but every ring I found that pleased me was at least 3 thousand dollars. Nothing I have found in the jewelry stores matches up to this quality or even close for this price! You will not regret buying this ring!Read More
Pretty Ring Ugly Diamonds
First off, the ring is really pretty, and I have received a lot of compliments on it....BUT the diamonds are ugly. Pay close attention to the quality rating of the diamonds. I was only vaguely familiar with what the ratings meant but I did know it meant there were some visible defects. That's an understatement. My center stone has a big ugly black speck in it that's EASILY visible to the naked eye. I gave it 3 stars because the metal shines, and the setting is really pretty and I have gotten quite a few compliments, but the diamonds are pretty ugly which is a terrible thing to say about something diamond. Eventually I will probably replace the diamonds with higher quality ones if I can. The smaller diamonds are not good quality, but because they're so small you can't really see the defects except the slightly off color. The center diamond was so disappointing. For the **** this thing cost I was better off with a quality solitaire. Overall: Average-ish. Lots of sparkle at the sacrifice of quality.Read More
bargain instead of quality
I've had this ring for 26 months. I was a little disappointed at first because the center stone is set crooked but it's not noticeable unless you really stare at it. My jeweler noticed the inclusions (imperfections) in the center stone right away; it is a little cloudy but he said that the smaller stones were very good. 3 weeks ago one of the smaller stones fell out when I placed the ring on my bathroom sink but was less than $50 to repair. Overall, I think that the value for what you pay is very good; however, if you're looking for quality, this isn't the ring for you.Read More

Did you know?
Previously known as the High Rustenburg Hydro, The Hydro at Stellenbosch was founded in 1972 by Cleto Saporetti and has won numerous international awards for excellence.
Health hydros offer a combination of a traditional spa experience and focussed hydrotherapy treatments. These establishments differ from the generic spa concept in that the water-treatment facilities are where majority of the therapies take place.
While a spa is all about relaxing and pampering, health hydros are a bit more focussed on the holistic approach as well as teaching/training clients about a new, healthier way of being. Of course, the usual facials, manicures, massages are also available as part of the deal.
Health Hydros in South Africa, are known for their excellent facilities which include: steam baths, sitz baths, saunas, Turkish baths, water-jet massage facilities (benefits the circulation), jacuzzis and swimming pools (some hydros have heated swimming pools). The various hydros also have gymnasium facilities and are generally situated in scenic areas that are great for walking and hiking in the outdoors.
The three best-known South African health hydros include Hoogland Hydro, outside Pretoria, The Hydro at Stellenbosch (in the Idas Valley) and Brookdale Health Hydro in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. All of these hydros are quite different from each other and offer unique insights into health and wellbeing.
Hoogland has individualised programmes, be it weight loss, treating medical issues or just dealing with a bit of urban stress. In addition to the hydrotherapies on offer, The Hydro at Stellenbosch focuses on correct nutrition and the elimination of toxins (key to ongoing physical health). Brookdale is known for it's Nutri-Fit programme, a lifestyle approach to exercise, healthy eating and stress management.
The health hydros all have their own unique packages aimed at the various needs of clients. There are day packages, mid-week packages, weekend packages and week-long packages. For those who really need to face up to their exhaustion and stress levels there are even two to three-week packages on offer.

Hello guys ... I want to disable right click on an iframe which shows an external url.I searched the net for more than a month now and couldn't find any solution you are my last chance ...
I want to disable right click on whole page even on external iframe like this
Is their any way?
Thanks in advanced ...
Check out this page: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/improt.html
But ultimately, even this very well written script is useless, 'cause modern browsers protect its users from usability impairing scripts like disabling the right mouse button.I, for one, have disabled such scripts in my browser preferences.
Ize Thanks for your reply ... I don't know how to apply this to an iframe.I want to disable right click on iframe which open an external link outside my server like google.comdo you understand me ?
You can only disable rightclick from within the web page loaded in the frame itself.
felgall Thanks for your reply, I just wanted to keep newbies away from my links specially that links are out my server ...I tried to map an image on all page but it is not working too ... is not their any way to select all page even with iframes inside it ?
Since "no right click" scripts only work when the browser owner gives you access to do so such scripts are rather pointless as few people will knowingly give you access to disable part of their browser and so the code will only work for newbies whose browser is configured incorrectly and who don't know how to fix it.
What if he had one of those one-line "address bar" scripts that could be tacked on to the URL of his iframe source...
What if he had one of those one-line "address bar" scripts that could be tacked on to the URL of his iframe source...
Most browsers are simply set to disallow any attempt to block access to the context menu from the web page through any means what so ever and so whatever method you try to use will be ignored and the context menu will continue to work from the right mouse button and context menu key on the keyboard as if the script were not there.
Internet Explorer is the only browser that doesn't provide a browser setting to simply ignore all such scripts. Just makes it a mouse click or two harder to bypass in that browser (assuming that the person is using that browser and trying to access that menu for some reason).
Also most scripts only block the mouse and still leave the menu accessible from a single key press on the keyboard.
Thanks for your replies guys ...after hard search I found this code which works on IE to disable right click on Iframe but the problem is it does not work with external websites ,,, iframed file must be at the same domain ... take a look on it

We are hard anodizing alloy 3003 aluminum cookware and have a color inconsistency. We are trying to achieve a black color, if possible, and sometimes do. We are anodizing in a 150 g/liter sulfuric acid bath at 25 amps per sq ft at 58 volts with a small ramp time. Is there a way to push this to the darker side? R.G.
Going darker may not mitigate the color variance that you see. Color differences in this process could be caused by any number of conditions. The most prominent of these are metallurgical inconsistencies and coating thickness variance.
Metallurgical conditions are sometimes difficult to pin down, but if you are willing to experiment, try etching a load, or a few pieces, in caustic soda and see if the "smut" produced by the etching process is consistent in color. If not, chances are it's a metal problem of some sort. This could be mill batch to batch differences in chemical composition, temper or even in ingot casting technique. Take this up with your metal supplier. It is also possible that your forming process is changing the temper of the metal by work hardening. This could vary from piece to piece and could affect the color achieved in anodizing.
Anodizing variables can be dealt with first hand in your shop. Make sure the rack contact with each pan is consistent, tight and large enough to carry the current. Check part spacing on the rack and part positioning on the load. Parts too high or too low on the rack or those on the ends of the load may vary in color from the rest. Some parts may be too close together. Check the coating thickness of each part on each of several loads to see if it is uniform. (I assume you process only like part numbers on the same load). Make sure all of the bus bar connections between the tank and the power source are clean and tight. Check air agitation to see that it is uniform throughout the tank. Is the bath cooling system capable of holding temperature within ± 2 F and is the bath temperature uniform from one end of the tank to the other and from top to bottom? Check electrical joint connections on the load bars, too.
In processing, there are certain conditions that will foster darker color. Lower bath temperature can produce darker color for the same current density. At a given current density and lower temperature, voltage will increase. Voltage produces the color. Higher voltage results in darker color. Lowering the sulfuric acid concentration will also result in higher voltages for the same current density. Decreasing both bath temperature and concentration could make it somewhat easier to get a darker color. (Watch that the combination doesn't result in burned parts. Air agitation becomes increasingly important under these conditions to carry away the localized heating caused by increased voltage). With some diligence in instituting these procedures you will be able to tell whether the underlying cause of color inconsistency is due to metal or the process.

Dremel Pumpkin Carving Drill
This allows you to carve into, but not through, the pumpkin - so when a candle is placed inside an eerie soft glow exists. I love this look; so Martha Stewart for sure. It comes with templates too, so if you don't feel like being too creative you can just follow the lines! A sturdy drill, too, so no carving fun will be interrupted by a failed tool. How rude!
