Programs Offered: Major, Minor
Cinema Studies at Willamette introduces students to the construction of cinematic works and traditions. It provides students with critical tools necessary to make informed judgments about the visual representations they encounter, and it teaches students to critically examine the roles film and visual media play in our own lives.
The cinema studies major is well suited to contribute to the critical social engagement that the liberal arts seek to foster. It also prepares students for career opportunities or advanced study in filmmaking, non-print journalism, and media criticism.
Starting in the fall of 2018, Film Studies
will become Cinema Studies
The change updates and streamlines the program, and allows students to choose an area of concentration.
Current students will have the option to continue the current Film Studies major or to elect the new Cinema Studies major. See the Catalog of Study Policy.
Students who wish to declare a major in Cinema Studies before Fall 2018 should give their completed major declaration form directly to Mary Collins at the Registrar's office. The major will not be in the catalog until Fall 18, but the declaration will be kept ready until then, and will show up as soon as the new major goes live.
For more information about the new program, see the Resources page.

25 'Risk Interpretation and Action' Fellows selectedpublished: October 18, 2013
The ISSC is proud to announce the selection of 25 new, talented Fellows, who will work on creative, interdisciplinary perspectives on risk interpretation and action at a seminar co-sponsored by the ISSC"s World Social Science Fellows programme, the Risk Interpretation and Action working group of the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) programme, the IRDR International Center of Excellence, Taipei, the international START Secretariat, and the Royal Society of New Zealand.
The seminar will take place in early December 2013, when the Fellows will join a number of senior scientists, including David Johnston (Joint Centre for Disaster Research, Massey University, New Zealand) and Richard Eiser (University of Sheffield, United Kingdom), to explore if and how a recently published framework for response to natural hazards can be integrated across scientific disciplines and cultural contexts.
The seminar will be hosted by Massey University in Wellington and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the University of Canterbury in Christchurch.

Introducing New Range Rover Evoque Sport 2014
A luxury car manufacturer Land Rover has introduced its new model in 2011, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. As the car has enjoyed high ratings and great customer responsiveness rate, the manufacturer decided to go further with this great model and merged it into Range Rover Evoque Sport. Right now it is even possible to get a quick overview of the future concept of the Range Rover Evoque Sport of 2014.
As SUVs were the greatest market for the Land Rover, and one of the most successful ones, the company will try to develop this line further, in such a way bringing back all the customers and fighting for new ones with the help of a great brand image, high product features and the exclusive design and comfort as well as style that Range Rover offers with its new models.
As it was said and fairly acknowledged that Range Rover Evoque became one of the most successful models of Land Rover in the past year. Therefore it wasn't a great surprise, when the rumors went that the company will try to put an emphasis on diversification of this model and offer new versions from this list with Grand Range Rover Evoque or maybe the Range Rover Evoque Cabrio, however recent new details also suggest that the Land Rover company will also prominently be offering a Sport version for this exclusive SUV.

I know you've heard of library books in the public schools that promote the homosexual lifestyle for kids as young as kindergarten, but are you aware of the agenda to force more homosexual and perverse lifestyles on your kids?
Have you ever heard of a group called GLSEN? It stands for 'Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.' However, don't let the word 'straight' fool you, they are anything but straight. They are the largest LGBT activist organization in America that is working to push their agenda into the public schools and government.
According to the group's website:
"Improving Education, Creating a Better World
"In 1990, a small, but dedicated group of teachers in Massachusetts came together to improve an education system that frequently allowed its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students to be bullied, discriminated against and/or fall through the cracks.
"Almost 25 years later, that small group has grown into the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students. Today, we're known as GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.
"We face a pervasive problem with a set of new challenges. 8 out of 10 LGBT students are still harassed at school each year because of who they are.
"We are working to change that.
"At GLSEN, we want every student, in every school, to be valued and treated with respect, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We believe that all students deserve a safe and affirming school environment where they can learn and grow.
"We accomplish our goals by working in hallways across the country — from Congress and the Department of Education to schools and district offices in your community — to improve school climate and champion LGBT issues in K-12 education.
- We conduct extensive and original research to inform our evidence-based solutions for K-12 education.
- We author developmentally appropriate resources for educators to use throughout their school community.
- We partner with decision makers to ensure that comprehensive and inclusive safe schools policies are considered, passed and implemented.
We partner with dozens of national education organizations to leverage our shared expertise into creating great schools and better opportunities for every student."
Last month, GLSEN Massachusetts held their annual conference in Boston where they hoped to introduce teachers, students and other homosexual activists to their liberal and perverted agenda. On their website, they state the purpose of the conference as:
"The conference is an opportunity for more than 250 students, educators, parents, and school staff to spend a day building community and sharing resources for creating safer, more affirming schools for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ) youth, educators, and allies."
In all of this, where does it say anything about the 'straight' agenda? The only place it appears is in their name, not in their actions.
Brian Camenker, Founder and President of MassResistance has been working for nearly 20 years trying to stop the gay agenda of working its way into the Massachusetts public schools. He commented about the Boston conference, saying:
"They want kids to feel comfortable around homosexuality and those issues, feel comfortable coming out, feel comfortable taking on those behaviors, feeling comfortable with everything about it."
"You wouldn't think you could integrate homosexuality into much, but they do by saying something like "a woman does this and her wife does this. They will bring in homosexual themed books. One of their favorites is to claim that historical figures – Eleanor Roosevelt, for example – were actually homosexual."
If you want to get an idea of just what GLSEN's agenda is, I strongly urge you to visit the MassResistance website which describes what took place at the Boston conference, who the speakers were and what workshops they held to push their abominable agenda.
This isn't just happening in Massachusetts, but in every state of the country. GLSEN is working with state and federal legislatures, the Department of Education and school districts everywhere pushing to get their agenda into your kids' education and they are succeeding. This is another reason why parents should do whatever they can to keep their kids away from the public school system which currently is teaching nothing Christian, wholesome, moral or virtuous. A nation can be lost in one generation and we are losing America now. The future depends upon what your kids are being taught now.

Implementing a resource based inset programme: a case study of natural science teachers
Thesis (MEd (Curriculum Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.
This thesis analyses the potential of resource materials to facilitate NCS (National Curriculum Statement) curriculum development processes related to the teaching of Natural Science in the Primary School. The resource, We Care learning support materials, was presented to teachers within the context of an INSET programme. During the course of investigating two teachers' curricular activities as they engaged the We Care materials, their professional development is traced as an outcome that parallels their curriculum activities. Case study research, consistent with the interpretive paradigm, served this study. With respect to the evidence acquired, the curriculum development activities and associated indications of teacher learning were scrutinized concomitantly. Working within a guiding framework, I chronicled the teachers' involvement with the We Care learning support materials and detailed their curricular processes. At the same time, I monitored indications of professional development that associated with these processes. Likewise, professional development indicators were used to establish teacher learning.

What we do at Dog Walking Melbourne
The most common question we hear at Dog Walking Melbourne is "Why is it so important to walk or socialise my dog?" Many dog owners are so busy. It's hard enough to fit in feeding let alone exercise, walking and socialisation.
Without a daily walk and play, dogs can become anxious and are prone to developing behavioural problems. Exercise and socialisation play a vital role in the health of your dog! Too many dogs are overweight and bored. In the wild, dogs roam for miles every day, often together and that natural instinct is still present in all dogs — even yours.
A tired dog is a well-behaved dog. Through regular walking and playing many behavioural issues can begin to be resolved, including barking and digging. Regular exercise will keep your dog fitter, healthier and happier. Your dog may crave play with other dogs; socialisation during the day can help satisfy a bored pooch!
Dog Walking Melbourne is the answer to balancing your busy lifestyle and the fun and fitness needs of your dog.
Dog Walking
- We will come to your house to meet you and your dog. During this first consultation we will discuss a schedule which is best suited to you. This initial consultation is free.
- We can walk or run your dog off-lead or on-lead. In a group or solo, depending on their needs!
- We offer small group socialisation, play and off-lead activities in most areas, for the social hound!
- We offer 30 or 40 minute walks/runs.
- We will walk more than one dog per household.
- We will walk your dog in local dog friendly environments, including parklands, creeks, ovals and fenced in dog parks.
About Your Dog Walker
- Fully Insured for public liability
- Pet First Aid Trained / Registered Nurse
- Police Checks provided on request
- References and testimonials provided on request
- Ongoing professional development courses with Gentle Dog Trainers Association and other organisations.

If you are spending your hard-earned money somewhere, you deserve to be treated with the utmost respect. This is a hard and fast rule. Any company that makes a customer feel less than valued will simply not survive.
A little back-story: Over one year ago I joined a gym. After three weeks of attending the gym, I opened Bath, Body, and Candle Moments. Between working two full time jobs, I needed to find a way to exercise much closer to my home to save time. I didn't want to pay for something I was no longer going to use, so I sent a certified letter requesting my membership be canceled – exactly 21 days after joining. Put it this way, I am still fighting with this gym and I'm out $300! A franchise of this gym is now opening within walking distance of my teaching job; I could literally just walk right there after or before work – but there is no way I would give them my business.
Treat Every Encounter as an Interview of Your Business
Whether you're meeting someone new, attending a party, or responding to an angry review, every single person you encounter is an interview. Each interview you have is a potential customer, the possibility of networking, a judgement on how you run your business. The way you treat people, the way you behave, the way you dress is all forms of customer service because whether it's direct or indirect, each action is being perceived and people translate those perceptions into your business. For example, let's say you're out a lunch meeting with a group of people and one person snaps at the waitress, what are you thinking about that person?
Sometimes the Customer IS Wrong, but Turn it Around
Most of the time when customers complain about something, they're right, but sometimes, they're not. Use the opportunity of a customer's error to show how you go out of the way to help them. For example, I offer free shipping to Staten Island customers – it's a way for me to connect with my local community – but I don't have the option of limiting that choice at check-out to Staten Island zip codes, so all of New York State sees it. A few times, I've had a customer from out-of-town choose that shipping option, instead of denying the customer, I wrote an email explaining about our local policy, but offered free shipping for that one time only. Most customers will appreciate the extra courtesy and accept their error with grace; you'll create repeat customers by going the extra mile to correct their error.
Be Honest and Transparent
Seems like a given, right? But far too often there is fine print or convoluted messages that are turning your customers off. Be clear in your product descriptions, offering details, ingredients and measurements (if applicable). If there are certain fees, make it bold and clear. A customer is much more likely to make a purchase if he/she understands the fees to begin with. Going against the grain here, get rid of subscription fees! When we decided to offer the Soap-of-the-Month Club, we could have gone with recurring billing, but why force your customer into a situation where he/she would have to go out of the way to cancel something when he/she no longer wanted the item? Instead, we opted for a one-time up-front fee, so the customer knows that all he/she has to do is make this one purchase and then the goodies just keep showing up in the mail. No hidden messages, no gimmicks – that's how you build trust in your brand.
I was recently at a vendor fair and I overhead these water-filtration vendors telling a customer that their water cured cancer. I wish I was kidding. Along with that, they were using all kinds of cryptic scientific language that may seem impressive, but could be overwhelming to someone who doesn't understand what's really being said. While this foot-in-door technique could be effective to gain initial sales, in the long run, you're going to end up with a lot of returns and disappointed customers who feel jilted and cheated. Explain what your product CAN do (and remember the LAWS), be honest about what it CAN'T do, and let the customer make a choice. I often get questions about whether or not our body butters will help with eczema or psoriasis – these are dangerous questions in the cosmetic industry because now we're talking about over-the-counter drugs. I simply respond: "I make no claims about curing ailments; I made this product to moisturize your skin.Would you like to learn about the ingredients to understand how it softens your skin?" Teach about ingredients, teach about process, explain, and educate.
Keep the Negative Reviews
There's no way a company can satisfy everyone all of time. A courteous customer will inform the business about his/her problem first before posting a negative review, but there will always be negative nancies who go straight for the throat. It's fine. Take a deep breath, and RESPOND to the negative review with courtesy, explanation, and an offer to assist the customer by phone call or email. By taking this action you're simultaneously diffusing the situation while demonstrating to potential customers that you do care about what they have to say.
Follow-Up After All Encounters
Every neutral interaction you have with a customer is an opportunity to educate them about your brand, every positive interaction is an opportunity to bring further joy, and every negative interaction is a chance to turn it to a positive. All of these opportunities can arise from one simple customer service tool: Follow Up. An email or a phone call can go a long way in letting the customer know that he/she has been heard. For a neutral interaction (a customer asks a question, for example) – follow up in a day or two to see if he/she has any further questions. For a positive interaction – send a quick email just to thank the customer for making a purchase/using the service, etc. For a negative interaction – a phone call in a day or two to see if the problem has been adequately resolved. One of the best examples of this is something a local real estate agent does – After her customer closes on a home, she sends them one of our candles and a couple of bars of soap with a note that says: "Blessings for Your New Happy Home." It's a simple gesture which goes a long way, and leads to referrals.
What do you look for in exceptional customer service?

News Release 07-048
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Type 2 Diabetes Similar at Molecular Level
Protein analysis may offer new therapeutic route
April 30, 2007
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, the human version of mad cow disease, and other degenerative diseases are more closely related at the molecular level than scientists realized, a team reports this week in an advanced online publication of the journal Nature.
While still preliminary, the research, could help scientists develop tools for diagnosing such diseases, and potentially for treating them through "structure-based drug design," said David Eisenberg, a UCLA chemist and molecular biologist who is part of the research team.
The researchers studied the harmful rope-like structures known as amyloid fibrils--linked protein molecules that form in the brain. The fibrils contain a stack of water-tight "molecular zippers."
"With each disease, a different protein transforms into amyloid fibrils, but all of these diseases are similar at the molecular level," Eisenberg said.
If the molecular zipper is universal in amyloid fibrils, as Eisenberg believes, is it possible to pry open the zipper or prevent its formation?
Eisenberg's research team used X-ray analysis and a sophisticated computer algorithm to study proteins known to be associated with human diseases. When the computer said a protein will form an amyloid fibril, it almost always did. And one team member is experimenting with various compounds to break up the fibrils.
"Structural analysis of micro-crystals of proteins is an example of how basic research can have a profound impact on our understanding of health, biotechnology and other practical issues," said Parag Chitnis, program director in National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences.
NSF, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the National Institutes of Health supported the research.

When you begin to taste the sweetness of success, there are many pitfalls to watch out for. You really can be your own worst enemy. There are many temptations that can lead you away from your goals.
They come in many forms.
Advisors telling you only what you wanna hear, the lure of easy money from dubious characters, excess consumption of alcohol or the allure of drugs, folks of the opposite sex with questioning motives, and on it goes. It can be a minefield and it's easy to get caught up in the rush of success.
That's why it's important you have your own set of rules you live by. A strict set of guidelines to keep you on the straight and narrow. Because I've seen too many talented folks come unstuck. They did everything they could to sabotage their success.
Look, I'm the last guy to tell you not to enjoy life. If you know me, been out with me, read my stuff, you know I enjoy the good life. Good wine, good food, great people and conversation, is the juice I need to keep me going. But the work comes first. Do the work then party. It's that simple.
To an outsider, the work I do writing newsletters, speeches, products, copy etc. seems very creative. Nothing could be further from the truth. Writing is actually a product of enormous self-imposed discipline. Being a pro-writer means plunking myself down in this chair, shedding my mind of ALL distractions, then NOT moving until the work is done. Glamorous it ain't. But that's the truth.
Most times, those who wish to do what I do fail because they haven't the discipline to stick with it. Many have talent, but they haven't the sheer willpower to focus on the job at hand and get the work done. They are too easily distracted. Too easily led astray. Too easily sidetracked. Some succeed for a while but then burn out. Some never succeed at all.
The point is, life is a grand adventure and I try to suck out every last second. I work hard and I play hard. That's who I am. And look, sure, sometimes, I play too hard and maybe one day I will grow up (but I'm not betting on it).
However, the work comes first. No work, no party. That's why many have come and gone but I'm still here. Because I understand the importance of discipline. I understand there's a "party side" to me that must be managed to maintain and grow my success. And I surround myself with advisors that give it to me straight.
Above all, I'm clearly focused on what's best for me and my family and what's best for my Clients and Newsletter Members. Nothing and nobody will ever lead me away from the rules I've set.
A good exercise for you is to be aware of any distractions in your life that are moving you further away from your goals. Make a big damn list. Think long and hard about the distractions and temptations in your life and which ones you should eliminate immediately. This is liberating stuff. Your productivity will shoot through the roof… and… so will your income.

Reviews provided by Syndetics
CHOICE ReviewThese essays range from theoretical discussions of autobiography, informed by psychoanalytical and sociological theory--particularly Jacques Lacan and Nancy Chodorow--to close readings of texts in light of the time and culture in which they were written. With the exception of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese's article on black American women, the essays discuss white Anglo-American literary women from the 18th through the early 20th century--Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, Dorothy Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Alice James, Virginia Woolf--and one European, Simone de Beauvoir. Despite this limited focus, the essays raise provocative questions about women's autobiographical texts in relation to traditional views of the unified self, the individual, and linear narrative. These studies suggest that women create textual selves defined by community, by a tension between the public and private spheres, and by a desire to express their marginalization in society and in literature. The collection includes essays by Jane Marcus, Felicity A. Nussbaum, and Patricia Meyer Spacks. An important addition to recent scholarship on women's autobiography. Recommended for graduate students and faculty and for upper-division undergraduate students. B. Braendlin Florida State University

Welcome back to "POP!" Pop of Positivity! #7
"What is "Pop!" – Pop of Positivity?"
"Pop of Positivity" It's based on one simple thing. "Life doesn't have to suck all the time." Let's face it… There's a Helluva lot of negativity in the real world, and it's pretty hard to escape it. I thought of this as a means to brighten up everyone's day. Taking time away from thinking about the negative and switch gears and think of the positive. Perhaps, we can all share some smiles along the way too.
The Theme for Week #7
Post Some of Your Favorite Funny Live Skits From TV.
Here are a few of my funnies that came to mind:
The Carol Burnett Show and Saturday Night Live have brought me some of my favorite all-time laughs.
(The Full Skit, but so worth it!)
(God Bless, Live TV)
I hope you enjoyed a bit of live TV comedy!
- Each Thursday, I'll pick a Theme (Naturally, of something positive/light-hearted).
- I will, therefore, tag as Many Bloggers to continue the themed positive/light-hearted message along.
- You, the recipient of the tag can select anyway fit on how you want to share this positivity. (Example: Funny live skits from TV).
- You will create a Pingback to the original post, as well as notifying your tagged blogger that you have selected them.
Fairly easy, right? Let's say we give this a shot, okay?
Have loads of fun with this one, folks!!!!
My Tags To Get The Ball Rolling Are:

- if he needed to make a graph, he used graph paper not Excel
- if he needed something typed up there was a lady from the secretarial pool who'd work from his notes
- if he needed something filing it went into a cardboard folder in the filing cabinet
Then in the 80s, something magical happened – the home computer! Companies were developing mass manufactured entry level machines. Suddenly from having a life plan of 6 more years at school focusing on maths and then maybe getting my hands on a computer, I was able to skip straight to the "get your hands on a computer" part. And in Christmas 1982, whilst my brother got upgraded to a new bike, my dreams came true when I got a ZX Spectrum.
What remained constant for both magazine and book program listings was that nerve wracking moment when you entered the RUN command. No program worked first time! There was almost always a transposition error. But sometimes the listing was actually wrong, and contained a typo. Oh, I was learning some important basics there in the fallibility of the software creation process.
- adding a count of the number of tries
- scan any input from the user, and not count if less than 0, bigger than 90 or contains none numeric.
- replace variables "a" and "b" with meaningful names like "target_val" and "user_input" for maintainability
Making changes contained risks of breaking what you had – you might cause a bad loop (one you'd never get out of). You might just forget something, so for instance had instead of the line,
Years later I'd learn the word "heuristic" at James Bach's Rapid Software Testing course which would better explain what had been going on. I'd developed certain "rules of thumb" based on my experience using my own software, I'd gained knowledge of methods and experience where software just plain broke down.
Examples of those devious methods to break things included using
- using out of range numbers
- using nonsense numbers (such as decimal numbers where integers expected)
- using text instead of numbers
- guiding a graphical element off the screen
In fact look through those Spectrum error codes again, and you should be able to have a good guess at methods you could trigger half of those. Oh yes, our languages might be more sophisticated, and our computers about a million times more powerful, but there is the same potential to cause those same fundamental errors listed above!

Conventional wisdom has always held that iSCSI is the less expensive option for storage networking, although you have to give up on the flexibility and robustness that is available from Fibre Channel.
That may no longer be true. A string of advancements in recent weeks has taken dead aim at some of iSCSI's more notorious drawbacks with the expectation that the technology will soon find its way into top-tier enterprise environments.
The first domino to fall is I/O performance. Even on top of a 10 GbE infrastructure, iSCSI still couldn't approach 10 Gbps speeds due to heavy processing loads on the CPU and other latency issues. But at Storage Networking World this week, Chelsio Communications demonstrated a full 10 Gb iSCSI solution using off-the-shelf servers outfitted with the company's S310e-SR+ storage accelerators. The demo, which also showcased Chelsio's TCP/IP Offload Engine in a NAS configuration, produced more than 250,000 IOPS in full duplex 10 GbE.
iSCSI management has also drawn a fair share of criticism, particularly within Windows and Linux environments. Chelsio is looking to address these deficiencies as well with a pair of new software stacks for its line of storage accelerators. The iSCSI Boot and iSCSI Target packages allow for centralized SAN management and a wider range of deployment configurations for Windows Server 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux users.
Meanwhile, iStor Software has released a new software version for its iS512 family of iSCSI controllers designed to increase availability through improved malfunction failure detection and automatic switch-over to redundant controllers. The software works across 1 GbE and 10 Gbe versions of the iS512.
These and other developments once again have iSCSI boosters claiming Fibre Channel's days are numbered. TechRepublic's Scott Lowe says this is evident by virtue of the recent purchases of LeftHand Networks and EqualLogic by HP and Dell respectively, as well as the fact that you can buy upwards of 14 TB of iSCSI storage for less than $40,000.
That may be true, and there is every indication that iSCSI will move up the chain into higher-end enterprises, but there are still an awful lot of organizations that have already borne the cost of establishing Fibre Channel networks. Their vested interest lies in leveraging that infrastructure for as long as possible -- plenty of time for the Fibre Channel community to put the finishing touches on its own Ethernet solution.

We present you with this amazing new extension with Full HD wallpapers of the Italian Food.
HQ Wallpapers and Backgrounds for your unique and colorful browsing experience. Find out about facts about Italian Food with all these amazing wallpapers while browsing!
Italian cuisine is food typical of Italy. And it has developed through centuries of social and economic changes, but with roots stretching to antiquity.
So significant changes occurred with the discovery of the New World and the introduction of potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, maize and sugar beet, this last introduced in quantity in the 18th century.
But Italian cuisine is known for its regional diversity, so especially between the north and the south of the Italian peninsula. And It offers an abundance of taste, and is one of the most popular and copied in the world. And it influenced several cuisines around the world, chiefly that of the United States.
But Italian cuisine is generally characterized by its simplicity, and with many dishes having only two to four main ingredients.
So Italian cooks rely chiefly on the quality of the ingredients rather than on elaborate preparation. But ingredients and dishes vary by region. And Many dishes that were once regional have proliferated with variations throughout the country.

Dead Until Dark is the first of Charlaine Harris's 'Sookie Stackhouse' vampire mysteries. I thought there were several when there are, in fact, seven! Ah well... nothing like starting a new series... especially when you already have about ten on the go. Anyway, I liked this. It reminded me of a book I like a lot - Sunshine by Robin McKinley - and a series I don't - The Anita Blake books by Laurel K Hamilton. To my mind it's better written than the latter, not as well written as the former. Somewhere in the middle then, which is fine. Basicially it's about a waitress who starts dating a vampire. Murders start to occur - all women who also like going with vampires. Whodunnit? I didn't guess I have to admit, which is always a plus. I'm not really a crime reader and when I do read crime it has to have something a bit unusual about it, a theme, historical or, yes, vampires. I already have the next one to read, Living Dead in Dallas.
Current read: Just started Christmas Angel by Jo Beverley. Regency romance.

"Easy Pattern and super cute design"
The Ava Knot Dress
sizes 6m-12m, 12m-18m, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12
This is a listing for a pdf pattern, not an actual dress.
Knot dresses are a fun addition to any girl's wardrobe! In this tutorial, the author gives step-by-step instructions with many color photos. All pattern pieces are included and can be printed from your home computer on regular 8 1/2"x11" paper and pieced together. Also included is a measurements chart if you prefer to cut your fabric using a rotary cutter and mat--the only thing you would need is the provided "quick pattern" to cut out the armholes!
Note: Instructions for how to make a button hole is not included in the pattern due to variations in sewing machines. You will need to consult your machine's owner's manual.
All designs are created by Pink Poodle Bows. You are more than welcome to sell the finished product in small quantities. No mass production on a large scale. Duplicating or distributing any part of this pattern is prohibited. Please give Pink Poodle Bows credit for the design.

Easy Pattern and super cute design
I absolutely love this pattern. Clear and easy instructions. More please!!!
Thank you! Great pattern ! Just what I was looking for !
LOVE!! Dress is soo cute!
This is a really nice pattern.
Simple dress with a lot of sizes appropriate for a lot of sizes. Great for matching or coordinating especially with all the sizes included in this pattern .
I have sewn this pattern twice now. The pattern is well-designed, and I like the fact that almost all of it can be cut with a rotary cutter/mat and ruler, as there is a handy dimensions chart (why tape together many pages to cut squares and rectangles if you don't want to?). I plan to use this multiple times, so I traced the armhole pattern onto template plastic and use my rotary cutter to cut those curves.
I would concur with mollyjane's review and suggest adding the buttonholes to the bodice front before even attaching the skirt. If you screw up the buttonholes at this point, you can easily recut two bodice fronts without much irritation. If you screw them up once everything is put together, you will require a time out and possibly adult beverages before you tackle the work of fixing it. (No, I didn't have to learn that the hard this time, anyway.)
I purchased this pattern because it was almost identical to a catalog photo my sister-in-law had showed me, of a dress she loved. I was really happy to find this and make her the dress she wanted. And the customer service was excellent - I emailed the designer with a question and got an answer within an hour. (Granted, I'm sure I simply got lucky to find her online, but I'm still impressed.) I have now made this twice, and I will definitely make it again in the future. Very cute pattern!
I have made 3 of these dresses already and they are so cute and simple to make, and I consider myself a beginner/intermediate sewer. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. In my opinion, the pattern runs a little small - I went up a size up after the first one because they were snug under the arms. I did have an issue keeping the apron centered when gathering the skirt part - this was the only tricky part for me. My only other comment is that the "original" apron dresses that I've seen have the buttonholes running horizontal instead of vertically like this pattern, and the bottom skirt border is doubled instead of hemmed - these are some minor changes I'll make next time I make this dress. It's adorable and we get compliments whenever the girls wear them.
This was an easy pattern! I am so impressed with this site - I'm a new sewist but have been able to follow ANYTHING on this site! Thanks for another success!
Very easy to make. Love the pattern.
Great pattern!
I absolutely LOVE this pattern! It was easy to follow, easy to put together quickly and I love how you can personalize things with the options.
Love the pattern! It was super easy and turned out really good
really great pattern!!! Using it today!!
Love the bodice on this dress and have used it with other skirts also.
Love this pattern and have made many versions of this dress. Thanks!
Adorable pattern and super fast to make! I didn't have enough of the main skirt fabric, so I pieced two fabrics together and still loved the outcome! I made the dress and matching Olivia's Ruffle Butt Pants in one evening!
I've only been sewing for about a year, and I found this pattern to be very easy to follow. The instructions are thorough and specific, and the corresponding pictures are especially helpful. The outcome was a very cute dress that I'm giving to a friend at her baby shower.
I would only alter one thing and add the button holes earlier in the process. If you add the button holes as one of the last steps and you mess them up, you chance ruining your dress. After performing Step 3(h) (sewing the bodice pieces together at the top), I pressed the bodice pieces and then went to Step 5(d) and added the button holes to the bodice piece without the straps. Just remember to factor in a 1/2" seam allowance at the bottom for attaching the skirt.
The only difficulty I had was when I got to Step 5(a), my seams didn't quite line up, but I attributed this to user error and not the fault of the pattern. I made some adjustments and got everything to line up better.
I'm very pleased with the results, and I've already purchased fabric in a different color scheme to make a second dress for my friend's baby. I think this dress would look super cute with a colorful onesie underneath and leggins.
The dress looks cute, but one of the reasons I love PDF style patterns, is that there is a cutting chart usually with the measurements listed out for big pieces - ie the skirt and band, etc. I don't want to have to print a bunch of pieces of paper to tape together. Please consider a cutting chart with more patterns.
Author's note: The pattern does include a cutting chart on page 4.
This is a really great pattern! Super easy to make and very clear directions. Love it!

Setting a Reasonable Calorie Level for Weight Loss
To lose weight, you have to cut calories, but if you cut too many from your diet, you may not lose any weight, and you probably won't be able to stick to your diet for very long because you'll lack essential nutrition and that will make you feel hungry all the time.
Don't cut your calorie level drastically when trying to lose weight; this strategy will backfire. Your body is programmed to defend your usual weight, so when calories are cut severely — to fewer than 800 to 1,000 a day — your metabolic rate adjusts to conserve the few calories you do give your body. You won't lose weight any faster than if you allowed yourself to enjoy 1,200 to 1,500 a day.
Fortunately, when you overeat occasionally, your metabolism speeds up to burn the extra calories, too — ever striving to maintain your normal weight.
Because there are 3,500 calories in a pound and 7 days in a week, you can cut your daily calorie intake by 500 to lose 1 pound a week (3,500 ÷ 7 = 500). To lose 1 1 /2 pounds, you need to cut 750 calories a day. A 2-pound-a-week loss means eliminating 1,000 calories a day. A faster rate of weight loss is generally associated with weight regain and yo-yo dieting. Remember the tortoise and the hare: Slow and steady wins the race.
Suppose you know that your present calorie level is about 2,472 calories each day. To lose 1 pound per week, you need to cut 500 calories a day, bringing your weight-loss calorie level to 1,972. To lose 1 1/2 pounds a week, you new calorie level would be 1, 722 (2,472 – 750 = 1,722). Attempting to lose 2 pounds per week means that your calorie allotment would drop to 1,472 calories. This amount, while still safe, may be too low for your personal needs.
Too much food isn't the only cause of obesity; lack of exercise is also part of the formula. So when you think about dieting, you need to redefine your definition to mean cutting calories and upping exercise.
If you're not eating many calories now and a reduction of 500 to 750 calories per day would put your calorie intake below 800 to 1,000 a day and, therefore, put your metabolism into low gear, use the 20 percent rule. It's a healthier way to lose weight.
First, figure out the average number of calories you eat now.
After you determine the average number of calories you consume, simply subtract 20 percent. Suppose you eat about 1,800 calories a day and would like to lose 20 pounds. Your calculations are as follows:
1,800 calories x 0.20 = 360 calories
1,800 calories – 360 calories = 1,440 calories
If you cut your calorie consumption by about 360 calories to 1,440 calories, you can lose between 1/2 and 3/4 pound a week — a healthy rate of loss that won't leave you starving. In about seven months, you should reach your goal.

Can This Chiropractic Technique Prevent Workout Injuries?
Pain, unfortunately, is part of life. Whether it's from a [workout injury](http://www.livestrong.
Pain, unfortunately, is part of life. Whether it's from a workout injury like twisting an ankle during a soccer game or a trail run or chronic neck pain from years of staring at a computer screen, one thing is certain: Pain affects your lifestyle.
But what if there was something you could do to help stop the pain caused by an injury from altering your day-to-day life and even prevent future injuries? It might be time to try something new.
What's Active Release Technique?
Born out of a need to help injured athletes get back to peak performance, P. Michael Leahy, D.C., created the active release technique (ART). It's a movement-based soft-tissue massage technique that addresses the underlying cause of muscle or joint pain and restores normal function. And once that injury is healed, it helps keep you from being injured again.
The ART treatment protocols — which include more than 500 specific moves — work to break up adhesions in the body — bands of scar tissue that bind parts of your muscle tissue that aren't normally joined.
While necessary for healing, scar tissue may stick to adjacent structures, causing decreased range of motion and flexibility or even compressing nerves or restricting blood flow, says Graeme Smith, D.C., owner of Smith Chiropractic and Sports Rehab and a certified ART practitioner. And when that happens, you might experience muscle fatigue, weakness and pain as well as numbness and tingling sensations.
Since each person responds differently to treatment, the sessions are tailored to work with whatever injury or maintenance goal you bring to the table. However, there's one thing all treatments have in common: The therapies are interactive and involve a patient's participation. It's expected that the patient will be involved in the process.
During a session, an ART practitioner will apply pressure as the patient moves through a specific movement pattern. "Each movement is a stretch," Smith says. This helps you know where the end of your range is, so that when you're stretching on your own, you can take it to that point without fear of aggravating the area.
How ART Can Improve Your Workout
Smith says there are four building blocks of staying injury-free: mobility, stability, strength and power. "A lot of people like to go for the strength and power exercises and movements," he says, "but if the muscle doesn't have its full range of motion, it's not going to function well."
A lot of athletes and fitness enthusiasts injure themselves when one side of the body (for instance, an arm or leg) is weaker than the other. So it's important to pinpoint these imbalances (which an ART practitioner can help you do) and focus on the single-leg and single-arm exercises to make sure the balance, strength and stability is equal from side to side.
"Being flexible and stable gives you the building blocks so that when you go to the gym everything is already moving correctly," Smith says. "If you have tightness on one side, which is the asymmetry, and a practitioner can loosen it up with ART, then it allows your next workout to be more efficient and effective."
Smith also believes that if an athlete is training for something, such as a race or strength competition, getting treatment and making sure everything is stable from head to toe leading up to the event is key. Because even if there's no pain or discomfort, ART can enhance still your performance.
"Those visits where you are coming in and knowing that you are doing an Ironman event, for example, gets you to a point where you know everything is working well and you feel more confident in what you're doing. It just enhances every single workout," he says.
Can ART Benefit You?
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike use ART to help prevent injuries, improve performance and reduce recovery time. This proactive approach to wellness allows athletes to reduce the damage done through constant wear and tear on their bodies, which keeps them competing longer.
ART is also meant to help relieve pain from any condition that's caused by overused muscles, including back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems and tennis elbow.
And while the treatment may seem aggressive and at times even hurt a bit — but it's a good hurt — patients often describe feeling relief immediately following the first session. But don't let the mention of pain deter you. Treatment is catered to each patient's pain tolerance, and providers monitor a patient's ability to handle any given movement.
If you've been plagued with injuries, chronic aches and pains or find that you're not performing at your peak athletic or fitness level, it might be time to listen to your body and address what's really going on.

I've got a post planned for my Texas trip, just trying to gather my thots enough to sound articulate.
Did you know that "articulate" (uttered clearly in distinct syllables) and "articulate" (using language easily and fluently; having facility with words) are spelled the same, but have different meanings???
Sorry, I digress...
Check out the current challenge for Scrapping the Music.
The song for this round is Good Days by Alain Clark.
I only now watched the video...previously, I had just listened to the song.
Uh, Alain is kinda beautiful : .) ok A LOT beautiful!
My piece (click on it to see it bigger):
You might recognize it. Yes, I used a previously created piece,
but my excuse is I had a deadline,
and I was on vacation : .)
I ran out of time before I left on my trip to make a new piece.
Its a fav photo of myself at the Queen's Pool on Kauai in 2005.
A tropical paradise, sigh...
In other artistic news...
Here are some pages I worked on while I was at my Dad's.
(I'm playing along with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's Art Journal Every Day.
Click on the link at the right for details.)
I didn't want to haul a lot of supplies with me,
so I only took the journal, a set of watercolors, 2 brushes, a Sharpie marker, and a white gel pen.
I drew the circles first. I painted them. Then I realized that the paint dulled the ink,
so I went back over them to make them stand out.
I think it took about 3 days to finish the piece (its a 9 x 12 page!)
I really, really like it!
For this page, I used the bar code off that destination tag they put on your luggage.
Brain freeze, I can't think of the name...
and I cut out Texas and watercolored it like the Texas state flag.
It needs a star, or a heart in the middle.
Still incomplete, too.
I think I'll title it
"Don't Mess With Texas!"
"Deep in the Heart of..."
This graphic is from a MGD box. Beeah. Isn't she cool?
This piece also needs more development.
I've got a couple more pages, but they're embarassing and not very creative.
Just trying to make it to the page.
I think I've made it 10 out of 16 days so far!
My Beloved Los Tiburones are playing their 2nd game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
against the Los Angeles Kings!!!
I'm excited!!!
Gooooooooo SHARKS!!!

This was the sky at 10:15 am. The temperature was -31 F.
After my shopping, I turned my van towards home. While stopped for a train, I took this picture.
Crossing the river, check out the ice on the window. That is on the INside.
Right now, going anywhere is a challenge. Both sliding doors and the tailgate on my van are FROZEN SHUT. The only doors we can open are the two front doors, so passengers have to climb behind the seats. Makes grocery shopping very challenging too! This weekend, we are going to rearrange the garage, so hopefully I can pull the van in....and hopefully it will thaw out enough to open the doors again.
The drive home.
Back behind that ice fog, is the ski hill.
Later on, we headed to the ice skating rink. Afterwards, this was the sky at 2:50 pm.
Driving down the Steese Highway in Fairbanks.
Last night we had a projected low between -35 and -45 degrees. I don't think it made it quite that low here in town, but I'm sure the outer areas may have seen it.
At 9:40 this morning, here is the temperature. Oh, and it is also already the day's high temperature.
Temperatures like this, inspire indoor projects. I have begun crocheting much more, and learning new stiches and techniques. Last night I finished a scarf, and I was very please with the results.

Example Questions
Example Question #14 : Elements, Ions, And Isotopes
Which of the following is not a subatomic particle?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are all subatomic particles. Alpha particles consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons bound together in a particle. It is usually emitted during fission reactions.
Example Question #1 : Atoms
Which of the following statements is true?
Electrons are close in proximity to the atomic nucleus
Electrons are larger than protons, which means they must have less charge than protons
The nucleus of an atom is electrically neutral
Electrons are smaller in size than nucleons, but have equal charge
Electrons are smaller than protons, which means they have less charge than protons
Electrons are smaller in size than nucleons, but have equal charge
Electrons are notably smaller than nucleons (protons and neutrons), however, they have an equal amount of charge to protons. This is why an atom with the same amount of protons as electrons is considered electrically neutral.
The nucleus itself is positively charged, as the electrons are located relatively far away from the atomic center.
Example Question #2 : Atoms
What is the sum of the number of neutrons of the following atoms: (a) N15
(b) Ag109 (c) Si30
In an atomic representation, the number of neutrons and protons is the upper number
and the number of protons is the lower number. If only one number is given, we can assume
that the number of protons is its atomic number. Therefore (a) 7 protons and 8 neutrons
(b) 47 protons and 62 neutrons (c) 14 protons and 16 neutrons. The total number is 86.

Stocks declined Tuesday as oil's surge toward $120 a barrel exacerbated concerns about the economy and profits.
Light crudeblew past a record $119 a barrel Tuesday, buoyed by a jump in demand from China, the world's second-largest energy consumer, and concerns about supplies from Russia and Nigeria.
"Traders are looking at the skyrocketing oil price right now," Ben Lichtenstein, president of Tradersaudio.com, told CNBC. "That will keep a lid on the market for the most part."
Among stocks most impacted by oil prices, an index of airline stocks plunged 12 percent, while an index of retail stocks dropped 2.6 percent.
In economic news, existing-home sales fell 2 percentto an annual rate of 4.93 milllion, meeting expectations, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors. The inventory of homes for sale jumped to a 9.9 months' supply. The median national home price dropped 7.7 percent from a year earlier to $200,700.
After the latest batch of earnings, traders punished companies that reported disappointing earnings as well as those with reports that weren't so bad, choosing to focus on the weak points.
DuPont reported its profit rose 26 percent, helped by strength in its agricultural business. Still, the stock was the biggest decliner on the Dow amid concerns after the company backed its full-year forecast but said the rest of the year would be challenging due to weakness in the U.S.
Fellow Dow components McDonald's and AT&T reported results ahead of the opening bell. AT&T reported its profit climbed 21 percent, in line with analyst estimates, led by strong growth in its wireless division. Land-line subscriptions, however, declined. McDonald's blew past expectationsamid strong overseas sales. Same-store sales rose 7.4 percent, but such sales were up just 2.9 percent in the U.S.
Weighing on tech stocks, Texas Instruments said after bell Monday that its profit rose but slashed its forecast for the current quarter, citing lower demand for chips used in cell phones.
UnitedHealth Group missed earnings targets amid weakness in its business serving employers and slashed its full-year forecast.
"People are looking at [earnings] outlooks. They're worried about the economy. I think you need to see outlooks pick up, and that will help the market come back," Giri Cherukuri, head trader at Oakbrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Ill., told Reuters.
A half dozen analysts, including Punk Zeigel's Richard Bove and Oppenheimer analyst Meredith Whitney, slashed their earnings forecast for Bank of America, and several also cut their price targets on the stock, amid concerns about higher credit costs and loan-loss provisions. Bank of America said Tuesday that it plans to stop offering some riskier mortgages after it completes its acquisition of Countrywide Financial, the largest U.S. mortgage lender. A day earlier, Bank of America reported its earnings plunged 77 percent but said it expects earnings to take an "upward trajectory" this year.
Elsewhere in the financial sector, regional banks SunTrust and Fifth Third posted sharply lower earnings as the banks, heavily exposed to real-estate market, set aside substantially more money to cover bad loans. Southeast bank chain SunTrust reported its profit fell 45 percent and missed analyst estimates by a long shot as the bank set aside 10 times more for credit losses than it did a year earlier. Fifth Third, which operates banks in the Midwest, reported a 19-percent decline in earnings amid a fivefold increase in bad-debt reserves.
Commercial-finance company CIT Group, which can't borrow directly from the Federal Reserve, said it sold $1.5 billion of common and convertible preferred stock, 50 percent more than expected, a move that dilutes the holdings of existing shareholders. CIT has also agreed to sell more than $5 billion of assets and loan commitments and is considering selling an additional $2 billion of loan assets.
This comes a day after Citigroup announced an offering of $6 billion in preferred shares and about a week after JPMorgan raised $6 billion.
BJ Services skidded after the oilfield-services company missed analysts' earnings target, hurt by lower prices in North America.
Also in earnings, retailer Kimberly Clark and industrial giant Lockheed Martin both posted quarterly earnings that beat expectations.
Shares of fertilizer company Intrepid Potash soared in their debut on the New York Stock Exchange. The company raised $960 million with its initial public offering, priced late Monday at $32 a share. The stock trades as "IPI."
