Course selection decisions should be made strategically so that you explore and pursue academic interests and graduate in a timely fashion. Your priorities should include:
- Meeting requirements for your major/s as well as General Education or Hunter Core requirements
- Exploring interesting subjects
- Identifying courses that may assist you with specific skills that you wish to develop for personal or professional reasons
- Finding a balance among all your courses in a terms of the kinds of work they will require. Having one course that requires a great deal of reading is fine, having five such courses can be overwhelming. The same is true for writing assignments, lab work, studio courses, etc.

In the 1980s, there was a flurry of debate and protests about a tactical nuclear weapon popularly known as the neutron bomb. The unique characteristic of the bomb as it was popularly understood was that it would kill people but leave structures relatively intact.
The Catholic Church is facing three neutron bomb crises today, crises that if unchecked could — indeed are already — diminish the people in the churches while leaving the buildings intact.
The first neutron bomb issue is the looming priest shortage. While there are reports of an increase in vocations, the overall statistical landscape remains bleak for the next two decades. Priests ordained in the 1960s and early 1970s are now retiring, and the pace of retirement will quicken in the next five years. Young priests are being rushed into pastorates earlier than ever before, which carries its own stresses and costs.
Foreign priests are helping, making up 25-50 percent of the presbyterate in some dioceses. Deacons are helping as well. But the lack of priests is forcing parish closures and affecting the availability of the sacraments. This is a shortage for which Catholics are not well prepared.
The second is the faith formation crisis: a collection of challenges ranging from parish religious education to teen youth outreach to adult faith formation. Despite the efforts of parishes, dioceses and publishers to meet these needs, the lack of trained catechists and the battered condition of the family have made it difficult to pass on the Faith in a way that converts both heart and mind. Confusion about what the Church teaches and a shallow understanding of discipleship are both symptoms of this crisis.
The third neutron bomb issue is the plight of the divorce and remarried. Only 15 percent, at best, of Catholics who have been divorced even attempt to get a decree of nullity. The collapse of marriages, which impacts the Catholic population at the same rate as the general population, can lead to the loss of two generations of Catholics: the spouses themselves and their children. The toll has been enormous. While the power of the annulment process to heal can be testified to by many Catholics, the problem is that so many never even attempt it.
Pope Francis appears to be seeking ways of addressing the crisis of the divorced and remarried. It is likely to be a significant topic of conversation at the upcoming synod on the family, and it was a primary theme of a speech given by Cardinal Walter Kasper to the cardinals assembled in Rome for the consistory in February.
There are no easy solutions here, as the cardinal made clear in his speech: "The indissolubility of sacramental marriage and the impossibility of a new marriage during the lifetime of the other partner is part of the tradition of the Church's binding faith that cannot be abandoned or undone by appealing to a superficial understanding of cheapened mercy."
At the same time, there may be alternatives to the current juridical processes that will allow the divorced and remarried in certain circumstances to return to the sacraments of reconciliation and the Eucharist.
No doubt any solutions proposed will be fiercely debated. The mandate given by Christ himself — what God has joined together — and the merciful solicitude of God for those most in need of his healing are the parameters within which the synod fathers must deliberate.
In vocations, faith formation and the pastoral crisis that is divorce today, Catholics are challenged to find solutions that will not only leave the structures standing, but fill them with disciples. There are no easy fixes, but as a recent Gospel reading reminded us, faith, not fear, and trust, not worry, must characterize our search for solutions.

Frontier Ruckus: Deadmalls & Nightfalls Review
If you're reading this, chances are you've been to Michigan at some point in your life. You've probably driven through tangled cookie-cutter neighborhoods, you've spent the daylight in sticky humidity swatting at bugs, you've walked across oceans of asphalt parking-lots of strip malls, and in the night you've strained your eyes at the stars over the light pollution of the towns. You've probably seen what happens to towns when they've blossomed and stretch out as far as they could before slowly fading away. All of this is exactly what Deadmalls & Nightfalls, the Frontier Ruckus' latest full-length (Ramseur Records), sounds like.
In many ways, Deadmalls is about memory. Memories aren't linear, they aren't concise, they aren't instant. They're organic, they weave, they unfold fluidly, they sprawl, just like suburbia, just like Deadmalls. Matthew Milia, the chief songwriter for Frontier Ruckus leads us through his sometimes muddled, sometimes dark and humid, but always enchanting reflections on Michigan.
As with The Orion Songbook, Milia doesn't aim for concise lyricism; lines are sometimes so crammed with lyrics that its difficult to keep up with the allusion, allegory, and imagery. This, however, is not a bad thing. Instead, it's one of the most rewarding qualities about Frontier Ruckus. The lyrics are so filled with scenery and memories, often accompanied by buoyant harmonies, that the songs are rewarding long after the first listen. The album is abound with references to Michigan landmarks and geography (the Pontiac Silverdome, White Lake, East Lansing, Sylvan Lake, and on), but the album is somehow able to translate specificity into universality. However, the songs bypass obvious emotions, instead using open ambivalence to create an entire landscape of feeling into their songs. "And what is left in my will when the lilac breath is leaving / You are a dark saviour / I do need saving / All our hot behavior will not deliver me," warbles Milia on "I Do Need Saving," one of several tracks that explore the sense of longing that so frequently accompanies reflection on the past.
Matt Revers
The album starts with "Nerves of the Nightmind," a song rippling with feverish banjo, thundering drums and, briefly, ragtime piano. The entire album is intricately crafted, with time changes, key changes, harmonies, and a vast array of instrumentation, but does well to avoid sounding crowded, especially on the more sparse tracks . Though there aren't any real departures from their alt folk/bluegrass style, Frontier Ruckus introduces a previously unseen sense for complexity which, coupled with the lyrical meanderings laden with references to rural and suburban life, make for all-together impressive song writing. Acoustic guitars, percussion, singing saw, banjo, violin, and intermittent horns are the perfect match for Milia's earnest warble, all grounded in the Michigan scenery and stories of loved ones, family, travels. "Pour Your Nighteyes," a short, stripped down song with stunning harmonies performed by Anna Burch, is a quiet exit song that ties together the album's sense of longing with its gentler side. Deadmalls & Nighfalls is ultimately a more sophisticated, complex album that is a logical and impressive progression from their previous LP The Orion Songbook.

LITTLE ROCK Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. TV viewers have been reminded about that through a number of specials in recent days.
Now we get (maybe) the most special special of them all — a four-hour, four-part "miniseries" airing over two nights.
Parts 1-2-3 debut beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday, with the final hour wrapping up at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Not to spoil the ending for you, but the ship still sinks.
And if four hours seems like a long time to spend with a costume drama where you know what happens, consider this. James Cameron's 1997 sudser has been re-released in 3-D and drags on for three hours and 14 minutes.
The movie drags on but, near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on.
I'm sorry. I was having a Celine moment.
The ABC version won't have Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet, but it does offer something just as special.
The miniseries comes from the creative minds of Julian Fellowes and Nigel Stafford-Clark. Clark created it and Fellowes wrote the screenplay.
Fellowes is the genius behind PBS' Downton Abbey and Clark produced 2005's Bleak House for the BBC.
Shot in Budapest, Hungary, Titanic is the dramatic retelling of the doomed voyage that weaves action, mystery and romance through all four hours.
The production features fictional and historical characters, ranging from the staff and crew to blue collar steerage passengers and society's upper-crust guests in first class.
In this version, each hour follows similar events from different points of view, culminating in a cliff-hanger, as the ship begins to founder. The dramatic, foregone conclusion in Sunday's final hour draws together all the stories.
If there is any suspense for viewers, it's that we aren't really certain which of the many characters we come to know live and which die.
The hourly changes in points of view allow the viewer a closer look at relationships — upstairs and down.
As the danger increases, ABC tells us, "secrets and resentments are revealed, love and fury are sparked, but when the unthinkable happens ... each person's life will change."
Linus Roache (Law & Order) stars as lofty firstclass passenger Hugh, Earl of Manton, while his wife, Louisa, is played by Geraldine Somerville (the Harry Potter films).
Veterans of PBS and BBC productions will recognize a lot of faces in the large cast besides Roache and Somerville's.
Full disclosure: I've only had a chance to watch the first hour, but the entire miniseries got less than stellar reviews when it aired in Great Britain.
Evidence that ABC is hedging it's bets lies in that three of the four hours are being aired on a Saturday night — the night the networks usually dump their jetsam to lighten the load.
Huzzah. HBO has announced that Season 5 of True Blood will debut June 10. New to the cast will be Law & Order: SVU's Christopher Meloni, Scott Foley, Kelly Overton and General Hospital's Carolyn Hennesy.
The Newsroom. On June 24, HBO will debut the highly anticipated new Aaron Sorkin series The Newsroom. The series stars Jeff Daniels as a harried cable news anchor trying to rebuild his show after a staff exodus.
Supporting cast includes Dev Patel, Sam Waterston, Emily Mortimer, Olivia Munn and Jane Fonda.
Yes. Jane Fonda. She plays the chief executive officer of the news network's corporate parent.
Coming soon. Foodies, mark your calendars. A special two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. May 13 will mark the Season 8 start of Food Network Star.
Fifteen hopefuls journey to New York, where stars Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis and Alton Brown throw down in a three-way team competition to find the next Food Network star.
Each of the three chefs will pick five finalists to mentor through the challenges. Viewers will vote online before the July 22 finale to determine who will win and get his own Food Network show.
Getting real. Mega producers Dick Wolf and Mark Burnett are joining forces to create a new NBC reality show titled Stars Earn Stripes.
In the show, nine celebrities will gather at an undisclosed facility and be paired with experienced military trainers to prepare for a weekly challenge adapted from exercises used by America's armed services.
Prize money will be donated to a military charity. No premiere date has been set.
The TV Column appears Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. E-mail:

If you can't tell already from reading my blog, I am obsessed with accessories. Don't get me wrong…I love clothes, but I also love styling my outfits. There's something about "decorating" an outfit with some fabulous accessories that makes me really happy and it's a great opportunity to be creative everyday. Now that Spring is here, we can put away our clunky boots and our chunky sweaters and make way for some fun and fabulous accessories.
I've picked out some practical accessories and chosen a variety of each to fit any style or budget. Enjoy!
The Full Coverage Sandal
Top Row (left to right): Elizabeth & James Gypsy ($225 at piperlime.gap.com), 80%20 Open Toe Ankle Strap Booties ($145 at intermixonline.com)
Bottom Row (left to right): Sam Edelman Dawson ($130 at piperlime.gap.com), Boutique 9 'Post' Caged Sandal ($120 at nordstrom.com)
This is the perfect sandal for Spring because they have some coverage to keep your feet warmer on those chilly days but they're also super stylish and very practical. I recommend getting a pair of these in a neutral color to wear with anything. I love my Joie sandals and because they're a neutral color, I literally wear them with anything. Pair your full coverage sandals with some cuffed denim shorts and a cute tank or your favorite skinny jeans and a vintage T…the possibilities are endless!
A Bright Clutch
Top Row (left to right): Jimmy Choo Daphne Ponyskin Leather Clutch ($1,495 at net-a-porter.com), Celestina Hand Painted Stingray Clutch ($990 at net-a-porter.com)
Bottom Row (left to right): Lauren Merkin Eve Satin Clutch ($165 at neimanmarcus.com), Oasis Oversized Ruched Clutch ($59 at asos.com)
As great as neutrals are because they go with everything, I absolutely love a bright accessory. An average outfit can be taken to the next level with a bright clutch. Looking for something to spruce up your little black dress? A bright clutch will do just the trick. I also like to pair a bright clutch with skinny jeans, a neutral tank, a fabulous blazer and some killer heels. Just make sure you do not have too many bright accessories because you want the focus to be on the clutch. Also, if you're going with a bright clutch, please don't match your shoes…it's simply too much!
Statement Earrings
Top Row (left to right): Kenneth Jay Lane 22-Karat Gold-Plated Drop Earrings ($210 at net-a-porter.com), Alex + Ani Park Avenue Cocktail Earrings ($130 at shopbop.com)
Bottom Row (left to right): Fiona Paxton Monaco Earrings ($125 at shopbop.com), David Aubrey Green & Turquoise Earrings ($68 at shopkitson.com)
If you read my blog regularly, you may have realized by now that I love to make a fashion statement. A great pair of earrings is a perfect way to do just that. Like a bright clutch, it's a great way to spruce up a plain outfit. Just make sure you're not pairing your statement earrings with a statement necklace…that could be a little much. Statement earrings with a statement clutch? Perfectly acceptable. There's enough room between the earrings and where you hold your clutch where it doesn't look like too much is going on but you still look absolutely fabulous!
So, what are you favorite accessories? Any specific Spring trends you're into? What are you favorite accessories from my picks? I always appreciate your feedback!

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry University's volleyball team continues the toughest stretch in its season with a pair of road contests Friday and Saturday to begin Sunshine State Conference play.
The Buccaneers (4-3) play at Rollins (10-2) Friday at 7 p.m. in Winter Park, Fla., and at No. 3 Tampa (7-1) at 4 p.m. Saturday. Follow Friday's match by visiting HERE or via LIVE STATS. Saturday's match can be accessed by clicking HERE.
Rollins opened the season with eight consecutive wins to ascend to No. 25 in the NCAA Division II national poll as released by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. But two losses in a three-match stretch dropped the Tars out of the Top 25 on Monday. Palm Beach Atlantic, who beat the Buccaneers last weekend, reclaimed the No. 25 spot on Monday. The following night, Rollins beat the Sailfish in a five-set match in West Palm Beach.
Tampa, last year's NCAA runner-up, won seven straight matches to begin the season before losing to No. 4 Concordia-St. Paul in four sets nearly two weeks ago. The Spartans have not played since, but will open the conference season against Florida Tech Friday night before the Bucs visit Martinez Center Saturday afternoon.
The Buccaneers are 30-18 all time against Rollins, having split with the Tars last season. Barry holds a 15-38 mark against the Spartans, losing both matches in 2012.
Barry will return home Oct. 4-5 against Nova Southeastern and Lynn, respectively. The match against Nova Southeastern begins at 7 p.m., while the first serve against Lynn is set for 4 p.m.
UP NEXT: Barry University has two road matches to begin conference play in the toughest stretch of the season ... The Buccaneers will be playing their second and third opponents in consecutive matches who've earned a national ranking.
EYES ON OPPONENTS: Rollins rattled off eight straight wins to begin the year and climb to No. 25 in the AVCA poll before dropping two of three ... The Tars bounced back with a five-set win at No. 25 Palm Beach Atlantic Wednesday ... Camille Indest (146 kills) and Ruth Harrington (115) are the Tars top two hitters ... April Jackson (261 assists) and MaryEllen Poe (185) split time as setters ... Indest and Jessica Wilson have combined for 85 blocks ... Tampa, last year's NCAA runner-up, won seven straight to open the season, including three straight over ranked foes at the Colorado Premier tournament in Denver before dropping a four-set match to No. 4 Concordia-St. Paul ... Holly Reschke (82 kills) and Berkley Whaley (81) are the Spartans' top hitters entering Friday's match vs. Florida Tech ... Jessica Wagner, already named SSC Defensive Player of the Week, is the leader in blocks (36) entering the weekend.
ATTACK MODE: Barry has outhit its first seven opponents in all three categories: kills (245 to 218), attack percentage (.193 to .139) and kills/set (11.1 to 9.9).
ACES ARE WILD: Barry's 2.27 aces per set leads the Sunshine State Conference ... The Bucs rank 18th in NCAA II ... Rollins is fifth (1.79) in the SSC, and Tampa (1.43) eighth ... Barry Fr. S Jenny Trinidad leads the SSC (0.61) and is 35th in the NCAA, and Soph MB Laine Cielena (.50) is second in the SSC.
FRESH NEW LOOK: All six freshmen have seen playing time for the Bucs this year ... Two of them lead in separate stat categories ... Fr. MB Ivana Didanovic leads the Bucs in blocks (14) ... Fr. L Kristen Reid leads in digs (64).
DOWN WITH DIDANOVIC: Didanovic leads the conference in attack percentage at .389 ... She ranks 34th in the country in that category.
0-FOR-5: The Bucs have yet to play a five-set match this year ... Last season, Barry was 6-2 in five-setters ... Rollins is 1-1 when going the distance this year ... Tampa has not played a five-set match leading into the weekend, either.
DOWN ON THE BLOCKS: Barry has been outblocked, 43-36, by opponents this year ... Pace and Wilmington are the two teams the Bucs have outblocked.

From Amerithrax to the CDC Bioterrorism Lab
During my years as a Navy microbiologist, I received training in the rapid detection of biological agents and it became my scientific interest. I became involved in teaching a three day course, among others, on identification of biological, chemical, and radiological agents. I was, in fact, teaching one of these classes, in Wilmington, Delaware, in September 2001. I taught all my classes on September 10, and the next morning, I reviewed the material with the students and sat down in the classroom while the next instructor took the podium. Soon enough we all learned the dark reality.
My lab was ready for possible deployments. I double-checked the equipment though and conferred with special operations and first responders on base. I thought that since the times were bad, perhaps somebody may just decide to use biological weapons.
It was early to mid-October when I heard on the news that a reporter in Florida was diagnosed with inhalational anthrax. Although the media described the patient as an outdoor man who drank water from a stream and slept in wild areas, I knew immediately that the chances of this being a naturally acquired infection were remote. Soon after this we all heard about the letters.
I became very busy overnight. My contacts at the special operations office and the fire department were calling for my assistance in identifying suspicious parcels. I felt very proud when the first call came in and we were out the door fully equipped within ten minutes. From mid-October until early December 2001, my lab was on call 24/7. My name and cell phone number were posted at the emergency switchboard for the Norfolk area military bases. It was a very exciting time. I felt particularly useful and needed and glad to be of service to our country at a time of need.
My unit was told shortly after the New Year that we had a possible deployment coming up. We boarded a C5 on January 10, 2002 and headed to National Air Station (NAS) Guantanamo Bay. I spent most of my time there examining more than 300 blood smears for malaria parasites. Another proud moment was watching the news networks announcing the results of my work as reporters announced that two detainees had malaria-positive smears. Another part of my mission was medical intelligence and prevention of outbreaks in the camp, then known as Camp X-ray. I also conducted BW testing training for first responders and did some trial runs with our equipment.
In April of 2002, I reported to NAS Sigonella in Sicily and from there I deployed to Kuwait on March 19, 2003. Our mission was to fill in until the Army's TAMAL was operational. I set up my field laboratory for detection of biological weapons, tested my equipment, and waited. We experienced about 30 alarms at all hours due to scud missiles heading our way from Iraq. We finally returned home on June 18, 2003 after exactly 90 days.
The Navy had one final deployment for me in 2005. It was a goodwill tour on board the USS Emory S. Land (AS-39) to visit three countries in Africa: Ghana; Gabon; and Cameroon. Along with my good friend Enrique Torres, I was tasked with lecturing military health care workers on lab detection of HIV.
After a two-year stint at the Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland as a biologist conducting research on select agents and toxins and directing performance validation studies for some of our assays, a great opportunity opened up that I couldn't ignore. A research microbiologist position was made available at the CDC Bioterrorism Rapid Response and Advanced Technology Lab and I made the transition in July 2007.
Eduardo Gomez currently works as a research microbiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA. He became certified as a NRCM Specialist Microbiologist in 2005.

Police close to completing investigation of brutal Bedford home invasion
Bedford police are nearly done with their probe of last November's apparent random home invasion and brutal maiming of a local anesthesiologist and his wife and are preparing to hand the case to Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia M. LaFrance for review and presentation to a grand jury.
LaFrance said Friday she does not expect to arrest Charles Normil, 32, formerly of Lawrence and Worcester, Mass., on the outstanding arrest warrant local authorities obtained in April. Rather, she said, she intends to directly seek indictments from a grand jury.
The outstanding warrant charges Normil with breaking into the 7 Proclamation Court home of Eduardo and Sonia Quesada and brutally attacking and maiming the couple when they returned home about 10 p.m. Nov. 24.
Normil allegedly stabbed Dr. Quesada, 52, multiple times in the head with a screwdriver, causing severe facial wounds and fractures and bleeding in his brain. Normil also is charged with repeatedly sexually and physically assaulting Sonia Quesada, 29, who lost sight in one eye. Their 2-year-old daughter was unharmed.
Sonia Quesada was found dead Jan. 7 at her mother-in-law's Bedford home from an overdose of prescription medication. Her death was not a homicide, though manner of death was undetermined.
Normil is being held on $250,000 cash bail in Essex County jail in Middleton, Mass., on unrelated charges stemming from a Dec. 24 home invasion and burglary of a Methuen, Mass., apartment in which the female occupant suffered a severe eye injury. A hearing on discovery motions in that case is set for Aug. 13 in Salem (Mass.) Superior Court. Trial is tentatively set for April.
With Normil in custody, local authorities have had time to carefully prepare their case, which LaFrance described as presenting "more complicated" issues than those seen in most criminal, violent crimes.
Still, she added, "I don't want to delay it any longer because Dr. Quesada has a right, as a victim, to proceed to trial, too. We don't want to delay it indefinitely, but certainly we want to make sure we have the best we can before we go forward with the full prosecution."
LaFrance said she met with Quesada within the last month to update him.
"He was able to communicate with me, and I was able to inform him of the process of the case," LaFrance said.
"He does not wish to make any public statements. But, of course, he wants to see the persons responsible brought to justice," she said.
LaFrance would not say whether Quesada or his daughter would be called as witnesses.
Normil is one of two suspects in custody in the case.
The second suspect, whom authorities would not identify, is in federal custody. LaFrance would not say whether the suspect has been charged yet.

Remember the pre-Timeline Facebook? Chances are you do, and given the reaction to the Timeline launch, chances are you preferred it. Well you'll be happy to hear that Facebook has been testing out a few design changes to the Profile and Groups pages that is reminiscent of those simpler times. Check out at the potential new (old) looks.
Facebook Timeline
Content self-published to your Facebook profile page would be located on one left column, according to Inside Facebook. The redesign is being tested to just a select number of users, a Facebook spokesperson confirmed with Digital Trends.
The test design definitely revisits the old layout that Facebook scrapped when it introduced the Timeline. And it makes sense: This way our eyes are only moving down to read previous posts. Normally posts are published both on the left and right side of the vertical blue line. We're probably not alone in suggesting that it gives us a headache to look left and right while scrolling down a friend's Timeline to browse posts. The posts will also be wider than the Open Graph modules that sit on the right column.
There has been evidence that Facebook favored displaying posts vertically based on minor updates that the social network has made to our profile pages. You now might be more conscious of the fact that "Activity," "Friends," "Photos," "Likes," "Places," and other types of Open Graph modules have been pushed off to the right column of the profile page and may extend as far as a third of the way down on your Timeline. For instance, with this current format, the first seven posts on my Timeline read from top to bottom anyway, without any of that left-to-right back-and-forth business.
Screen shots from the test also indicate that the vertical blue line has been scrubbed as a feature altogether, and may indicate a lack of users publishing new posts using it. Without the redesign, users can add a new status, photo, place, or life event anywhere on their Timeline by selecting a place on the line. Facebook declined to comment on our suspicions.
Facebook Groups
We also recognized that Facebook is testing a completely redesigned Facebook Groups page with select users, which the social network also confirmed. Luckily we were in that batch and got a firsthand look at the potential new Facebook Groups.
The groups pages redesign has completely removed the left column where you'd find lists of your Facebook Pages, Message icon, Groups, Apps, and other categories. It's a minimalistic design, reminiscent of the Timeline, that aesthetically places a lot of emphasis on collaborating in your group by removing any distracting features. The only way to browse to a different page is through the navigation bar at the top of your profile. If you can recall, Facebook added an engagement boosting feature "Seen by," which displays the names of the group members that have seen the posts published to the group page.
The right column houses the page's description, and replaces the profile images of members with just the number of group members. Below that you'll find a list of ads. But all the major features including writing a post, adding a photo or video, asking a question, and adding a file from your computer or Dropbox remain.

Thanks to a source from Fonegadgets in Braintree, Essex, we've got our hands on some exclusive shots of what appears to be a bona fide iPhone 5 case, complete with cardboard mock-up. Here's our take on what Apple's hype-blasting blower will look like.
Bigger screen
A bigger screen has been on the cards since the very beginning of the iPhone 5 rumour mill and as the mock-up above shows, an noticeable increase is definitely present – our estimate is a 4in affair. As for the resolution? We'll just have to wait and see…
The noggins of the fourth and fifth generation devices look identical, with business as usual for the headphone jack and power button. This angle also suggests iPad-like tapered edges which we imagine will result in an iPhone 5 with a drastically thin sliver of a body. Speaking of which…
Calorie control
The iPhone 5 appears to have gone on a diet with a definite few precious millimetres shaved off, as noted by our highly technical red measuring line. No expense is spared here at Stuff HQ.
There's not much to see at the rear, although the bottom of the handset will undoubtedly host the proprietary Apple dock/charger connection as well as stereo speakers and microphone.
Back to the future
The volume buttons remain in their previous position, but on the iPhone 5 Apple has ditched the dinky round buttons of the iPhone 4 for the longer, thinner alternatives found on the 3GS.
Top heavy
It may be our imagination, but we're pretty certain that there is a slightly curved difference in thickness along the back of the case, suggesting a subtle thinner taper towards the bottom of the device. The mute switch remains, albeit now on the right hand side.

St. Charles N. sweeps Geneva to win regional
Jonathan Orech had no explanation for another one-sided St. Charles North performance.
On a senior-laden team, Orech was at a loss to offer evidence for the North Stars' dominance over Geneva Wednesday night in an IHSA boys volleyball regional championship match.
"I did not think the spread would be this wide," Orech said after scoring consecutive points to complete the top-seeded North Stars' 25-13, 25-18 straight-sets victory over the Vikings in Geneva. "We were so focused for them the whole match. We never gave (Geneva) a shot."
In a match with eerie similarities to the Upstate Eight Conference River rivals' regular-season showdown, St. Charles North took command early in each game and never relinquished control in advancing to the Bartlett sectional.
St. Charles North (28-6) will meet fourth-seeded Wheaton North, which turned back league rival Glenbard North at South Elgin, in the first sectional semifinal on Friday.
Geneva had its season close at 21-12.
In their two matches this season, Geneva was able only to garner a single 1-point lead against the North Stars.
That came on the opening point of the second game after St. Charles North served the first point out of bounds.
But the North Stars' Nic Cook would culminate a quick 4-point run for the North Stars, and the season-long dynamic between the teams followed a similar script.
Pat Misciewicz, who led both teams with 23 assists, had another ace for the North Stars to give St. Charles North a 10-4 second-game lead.
Serve-receive would prove to be a telling point the entire match; St Charles North routinely had mini-runs from its service line, while the Vikings were never able to sustain any extended points off their serve.
"Our serve-receive was spot-on tonight," St. Charles North coach Todd Weimer said.
"We knew how to match up with them," added Oreck, whose 5 kills belied his contributions from all over the court.
Geneva, desperately seeking a rubber game, never came closer than 5 points to St. Charles North during the second set.
Plagued by hitting errors, Geneva senior leader Mason Stierwalt attempted to single-handedly change the course of the match.
But it was to no avail as his team-high 6 kills were augmented only by a second-best total of three from Chris Parilli.
St. Charles North, meanwhile, had multiple options.
Just as he did in the teams' regular-season meeting, St. Charles North senior Kevin Beach led both teams offensively.
Beach had back-to-back kills, two of his match-high nine for the night, to give St. Charles North a 20-12 second-game cushion.
"The matches we have played against Geneva have been our two best matches of the season," Beach said. "We have been so together against them."
"We don't match up real well with them," Geneva coach K.C. Johnsen said. "Give credit to (St. Charles North). That's our job, to match up with the team we're playing."

So what do you think of this series? The beginning was great and of course the whole story was interesting. The second season kinda seem to be progressing really slowly though. Some of the character development is lacking too, but this is an awesome story nonetheless.
GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT manga.
When i first saw it online, i didn't really understand what was going on. But the story that is developing. INSANEE stuff. glad you pointed it out. i figured not many people knew about this manga.

Haha yea I am totally in love with this manga right now XD Like what can be more awesome a fully colored manga ^o^ But yea many people don't know this manhwa >.< The second season is pretty good too
I love this manhwa. It's the first manhwa i've ever read. And it's the reason why i'm into manhwa now.
I'm not "like a boss". I am the boss!
an awesome story nonetheless.
Okay... can someone give a better description of the manga...?
I'm too lazy to check it out before know the plot of it....!
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!
well, this is a good manhwa, just like the name, they should use their power, their intelligence, and their team work, to climb a tower to get something..hmmm , maybe power, maybe glory,,anything else is possible.
It's one of the most amazing manhwa I've ever read. It's extremely developed and it kinda makes just about every shounen manga I've ever read dull a bit. The main character is extremely likeable, at least to me, and there's diversity in all the characters. The male to female ratio isn't to much either. I also love how quickly it updates, most of the stuff I read takes months for a new chapter but SIU updates ToG pretty much weekly, maybe a little faster perhaps.
Everybody is weird,I just take it to a whole new level.
Alright so this without trying to Spoil everything this Manwha is about a boy who was born alone in a cave, until one day miraculously a girl appears and they become friends and live in the cave for a while. After some extended period of time the girl says that she has to climb the tower to get to the stars, and she leaves this boy behind and melts into the floor to begin her quest to get to the top. Seeing as he had always been alone before she arrived he becomes incredibly distraught and wants to follow her but doesn't know how. Of course he manages to get in the tower but as far as he can tell she has already moved on and he is left with the guardian of the first floor that gives him what seems to be an insurmountable test in order to advance.
Some how one of the rebellious princesses of Zahard takes an interest in him and comes down to the first floor in order to see what kind of action is occurring. After meeting with BAAM (that is the name of the boy/heroine) she decides to help him by giving him a sword, but there is a catch and you guessed it, the sword is known for its difficult tempermant and even the princess of the Zahard cannot get it to activate.
This anime centers around BAAM's quest to track down his first friend Lahel, his personal growth and inexperience with the more seedy/greedy/hatefilled side of human existence, and then beyond that it also centers on the other friends that he makes while moving up the tower. Everyone in the Tower wants to climb because they want something, everyone except for BAAM who just wants to be with his first and only friend. The Characters/Puny Turtles are developed in a way in which that doesn't have as hokey a mold as many characters in literature do and this team is able to convey an incredible amount of emotion and well as a very diverse range of emotions within their characters and this manwha. You never truly know what is going to happen you can only hope that things are going to work out for these characters that you love, but they dont always, there are some shocking and frustrating twists involved here. I promise that you will spend sometime going WTF now what is going to happen just to see things take shape in an even more interesting and diverse way.
The color and art are both very good and as stated above the release schedule is aggressive with 2 issues coming out in a one week period occasionally. Also the there is a hugely varied set of characters that all have their own angles, designs, and skill sets. If you do not like this manwha then you probably spend all your time looking at yaoi. Even though I have been reading Naruto for years now and it is embroiled in climactic battling I look forward to TOG updating more than I do Naruto.
What about This?

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo said QB Blaine Gabbert would be the top quarterback prospect if he were declaring for the 2013 NFL Draft. "If you graded him out right now, this is his draft class. If he were coming out and the quarterback draft class the way it is, would he be the top guy taken? I think the answer is yes," Scelfo said. "Ask the scouting departments and the general managers around the league and I think you would end up with a yes on that. Basically at his age, 23, the number one pick in the draft with two years of experience already under his belt. That's pretty good."

Metro 2033 is an action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror and first-person shooter elements. The game is based on the novel Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was developed by 4A Games in the Ukraine. The game is played from the perspective of a character named Artyom. The story takes place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro station where the player's character was raised (he was born before the war, in an unharmed city), but occasionally the player has to go above ground on certain missions and scavenge for valuables.
This is another extremely demanding game. Image quality settings were raised to 'Very High' quality with 4x AA and 16x AF. We turned off PhysX and DOF (Depth of Field) for benchmarking.
Benchmark Results: Here we see the Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 1GB and 2GB cards performing the same once again.

There is just something about the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver that brings out the best in Umphreys McGee. The Chicago prog-rockers have made this exalted venue a mainstay each year since 2005, and each performance has outdone the last. This should come as no surprise to those who know the band, since they are performing brilliantly these days and have yet to even reach their full potential after 14 years together.
As if two monstrous sets were not enough for the Denver faithful, the band even brought their first Stew Art Series (S2) of 2011 to the Mile High city and treated a small handful of fans to this unique, interactive musical experience.
Denver fans gave back the love on this Valentine's Day weekend by selling out the performance, and put forth energy so bold that the band could not help but reciprocate with a powering, funk-driven rock show that only they are capable of providing.
One hundred lucky fans got to begin their evening early by participating in the Stew Art Series, which also took place at the Fillmore prior to their proper performance. The premise of the S2 series is for attendees to send in text message requests that are promptly displayed on a large video screen for all to see. From those suggestions the band will improvise jams and songs accordingly, making this a totally fan-driven show experience; complete with full lights and sound.
Some examples shown this evening included "We're Busted", where the band proceeded to jam out to the Cops TV show theme while mired in blue and red flashing lights, courtesy of lighting director Jeff Waful, as well as "Praying Mantis" that birthed a gospel version of their progressive title "Mantis".
Other S2 highlights included "James Brown Meets the Beatles" which saw the band performing the classic Beatles' tune "Baby You're a Rich Man" funk-style, "En La Cochina" which was sung with Spanish lyrics by Brendan Bayliss to the tune of "In the Kitchen", and "Myers Def Leppard" in which drummer Kris Myers stuffed one of his arms into his shirt and played with his other to mimic Rick Allen while the band belted out its best "Hysteria".
Throughout the show, the band even took breaks to answer questions directly from the audience. Afterwards attendees were fed pizza and snacks, and joined in on an informal meet-and-greet session with the band members for pictures, autographs, and tall tales. For any fan of Umphreys McGee, this was more than worth the extra $99 for the chance to interact with and meet their heroes like never before.
With another successful Stew Art Series in the books, the band retreated to rest up for a few hours and the Fillmore officially opened its doors to let the festivities begin. As an added bonus, fans who arrived early were treated to an excellent opening set by the String Cheese Incident's Kyle Hollingsworth and his band. The group consisting of Hollingsworth on keys, Garrett Sayers on bass, Ryan Jalbert on guitar, Dave Watts on drums, and beat master DJ Logic on turntables ripped through an hour long set of songs that focused mostly on Hollingsworth's solo catalog including "Way That It Goes", some originals from his Soulside project, and even a Cheese tune here or there such as "MLT".
Maybe it was the addition of DJ Logic to the fold, but this set of music leaned heavily on a disco-funk sound. Though normally groovy and jazzy, Kyle and his band mates channeled the dancey stuff and proved to be a meaty warm-up for the evening's headliners.
Around 9:30 Umphreys entered the stage in lighter fare with the classical "Ride of the Valkyries" playing over the PA, and shortly thereafter their two-set performance was officially underway. The band opened with an excellent, thirteen-minute rocking version of "Higgins" before busting out the fan favorite "All in Time". Though usually reserved for later in shows, its placement proved to be key in keeping the upbeat vibe heard throughout the first set.
A reggae jam during the middle of the song slowly moved into churning, rock madness and segued almost flawlessly into one of their newer tunes "The Conduit". One of their signature "Jimmy Stewart" jams ensued and slowly immersed itself into the breezy instrumental "End of the Road".
The rest of the set carried on with a notably more funky-than-usual, improv-oriented "Resolution". Though probably not one of their strongest songs in their catalog, they stretched it out to fourteen minutes of pure jammy goodness thanks to Joel Cummins' be-bopping key solos. The end of the tune then flowed right back into the conclusion of "All of Time". The set could have ended on this high note, but the band added extra flavor by concluding with a spirited cover of Steely Dan's classic "Peg".
After a thirty-minute break to cool the jets, the band returned to the stage to display their gritty, prog-rock masterpiece known as "JaJunk". Ten minutes of guitar chugging by Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss went unfinished as the band ripped into their classic "Bright Lights, Big City". This normally beat-heavy tune was anchored by more rock and funk riffs, and the band let their jam legs stretch magnificently on this crowd pleaser. The energy displayed by the audience could not have been stronger, as the entire venue was going balls-out nuts during this extended segment (for a video, go to the band's blog "The Floor" and watch the debauchery unfold).
The heady, dub tune "Mantis Ghetts" followed and segued into the feel-good song "Gulf Stream", complete with another "Jimmy Stewart" jam. The tension in this song just kept building and building, all the while Cinninger was giving out tons of Denver shout-outs. The jam turned trancey and psychedelic, highlighted by Kris Myers' thundering yet melodic drum beats.
The set continued on with the debut of a new Cinninger original, a slow-burning and funk-inspired song called "Deeper". Thick and dark bass lines by Ryan Stasik anchored what is sure to soon be a concert favorite. The ragga-funk jam turned into classic rock flair, showing off Jake's vocal and guitar chops.
The culmination of set two came with the subsequent "Hurt Bird Bath", which was downright nasty. It was sixteen minutes of serious attitude, and that includes the manic lights displayed by Waful (especially during the running guitar segments). A trippy, improvisational jam built itself into darker territory, led by deep percussive beats by Myers and Andy Farag, and eventually melded into cohesive insanity.
The second set ended in similar fashion to set one in that they busted out another cover song, albeit this one a hard-rocking rendition of The Who's Eminence Front. This classic beast was an excellent way to close the show. As the band thanked the crowd they walked off to the sound of Will Ferrell singing "Something to Talk About" from the movie Step Brothers over the PA. Hysterically brilliant!
With the time passing 12:30, the group returned for a short encore that began with the gem "Plunger". Part-way through the jam they fell into their instrumental rocker "Glory", and even teased the opening lines from the Yes tune "Roundabout", before dropping right back into the hard-hitting conclusion of "Plunger".
Another classic Fillmore show for the books. The band continues to impress with each exhibition, and Colorado residents have to feel blessed that they get to witness such greatness every year. The band will shower even more love upon Colorado in 2011, as they announced at the end of the show that they will be returning to Red Rocks again this summer, reprising their Red Rocks and Blue event on July 3rd. This time they said they will do two full sets, and if this evening's concert was any indication of what can be expected then you better mark your calendars for what is sure to be a must-see performance.

Born in Milan on 31st October 1924, Enrico Baj was one of the most important contemporary Italian artists. Playing a leading role in the Fifties and Sixties avantgarde alongside Fontana, Jorn, Manzoni and Klein, Baj established close ties with Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, E. L. T. Mesens, and other artists of the Cobra group, with New Realism, Surrealism and Pataphysics.
In 1951 in Milan, together with Dangelo and Dova, Baj founded the "Nuclear Art" movement; in 1954, in opposition to the systematic repetitiveness of stylistic formalism, along with Asgern Jorn he founded the "Mouvement International pour une Bauhaus Imaginiste against the enforced rationalization and geometric abstraction of art.
The polychromatic and mixed media collages pervaded by a playful and ironic vein, constitute the symbol of the Milan-born artist's satirical vein: the dismembering of form to express the deflagration of matter and imagery.
Baj's work is divided into various periods, all marked by profane irony and a constant pursuit of renewed form of expression: playful, fun themes like those in "Mirrors, furniture, meccano constructions, ladies, modifications, dapres (Gli specchi, i ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Today (Thursday) is Blog Action Day, and the theme today is Climate Change.
Here in Australia we've had almost weekly reminders that the weather is changing, and although we are often told that the changes we are seeing are not due to global warming, we have our suspicions. Where I live in Hornsby, in northern Sydney, we've had a dust storm, blown in off the farms and desert of inland Australia, and a hailstorm that caught me on the way home from my sister's, all within a couple of weeks.
But it's much more serious than this. It doesn't matter so much that I have to hose the dust off my pot plants with water from my rainwater tank, or that my car has a few dents from the hail.
Whole nations such as Tuvalu are being swamped by normal tides. The ice caps are melting. There are twice the number of hurricanes than 30 years ago.
Even if the weather we're seeing can't be proven to be the result of global warming, and the evidence seems to me overwhelming that it is, is it worth the risk? Once it's too late it will be no use to say, "oh, we thought they were over-reacting". The planet will have changed, and there'll be no going back.
The time to change is NOW and there are many things you can do:

Elderly Man Invents Chinese Econo-Rascal Powered by Dog
In staunch times of economic struggle, it can become necessary to get back to the primitive and consult your immediate resources as a means for survival. However, when all you have at your disposal is a busted clothes rack, a few shopping cart casters and a mangy old dog, the reality is that fiscal rigor mortis has really set in.
Those conditions haven't stopped 71-year-old Chinese native Huang Lu, who during a recent sanity lapse, strapped a wild-eyed German Shepard to a makeshift rickshaw as a way to eliminate the expense of owning a car. "I'm too old to ride my bike now and I can't afford a car," he said.
While parading around town in such a rickety contraption requires a strong social constitution and uncanny ability to not give a single flippin' squirt about what other people think, Lu says he is not ashamed of his new ride or his willingness to play the indentured servitude card with his canine companion. "I know it's not pretty but it works… my dog doesn't mind and is too well trained to chase cats."
What level of thunderdome apocalypse would take before the average American was permitted to make their pets street legal?

WMRN About To Move
OMW hears that what should be a couple of weeks of stunting starts on the latter frequency on Thursday afternoon at 12 noon.
WMRN's long-time Marion signal at 106.9 went dark earlier this month, nudging the "Buckeye Country" format to WDIF/94.3, known until the move as AC outlet "Mix 94.3". Recent Upper Sandusky move-in WYNT/95.9 Caledonia remains as the cluster's sole AC station, and a quick look at the "Majic 95.9" website shows that it's running Christmas music - like a stocking-load of other AC stations across the country are doing.
The relocated WMRN-FM in the Columbus market will take new calls at some point, kicking WMRN-FM back to Marion for "Buckeye Country 94.3".
The lighting up of 106.7 was expected to happen earlier this month, but it took some time for the way to be legally cleared - and the frequency to become clear after an appeal by translator operator Sandyworld, Inc. That translator has been running a relay of Ohio State's WOSU-FM on 106.7, and Sandyworld was one of two entities trying to block the WMRN COL move.
We've sniffed around the Clear Channel Columbus empire, and we've not smelled anything that would indicate what a permanent format would be.
Not even a whiff.
But if our experience with the company's most recent move-in - Dover/New Philadelphia's WJER-FM 101.7 to the Canton market AC outlet WHOF "My 101.7" - is a guide, expect obfuscation, balls in the air, and all that.
We've learned...don't believe what you hear (or read), even if it comes from a trusted source. We were burned last time, and won't be burned again.
So, if we hear anything about the future plans of new move-in WMRN-FM, we'll pass it along, but with a grain of salt large enough to break into a lifetime supply.
We've obtained a copy of the company's press release about the move, and this line from occasional OMW reader and Clear Channel Columbus operations manager John Crenshaw gave us a chuckle (no, we didn't get it from him):
"Thursday at noon will bring Dublin and Columbus a most unique radio station. If you could just see my tongue pressing firmly against my cheek. And stay tuned for more fun and games in the coming weeks as the 106.7 format is ultimately revealed."
No, we're not laughing at the "tongue in cheek" part or the "fun and games" part.
We're chuckling about the apparent need to identify the station in the release as a "Dublin" station, since that's the new 106.7 community of license.
Of course, the company had to build up the Columbus suburb of Dublin in the tedious and ponderous FCC process of creating a new allocation to one of many suburbs of the state capital... but we'll assume it's safe now not to have to repeat the "service to Dublin" line in a company press release, since the construction permit is already on the books.
At least Dublin has more than a newsletter to parents of middle school children backing it up as a community needing that ridiculous "first service" label...
The full Clear Channel release, which is meant to be spread far and wide, is below...
November 28, 2007
For Immediate Release
Contact: John Crenshaw
Operations Manager
Clear Channel Radio Columbus to add fifth FM Signal
After several years of filing initial FCC applications, WMRN-FM 106.7 will make its debut Thursday, November 29 at noon. WMRN had been broadcasting to the Marion, Ohio market at the 106.9 frequency. Beginning Thursday, WMRN will be broadcasting from 106.7 and will provide radio service to the City of Dublin and greater Columbus.
CCRC Operations Manager John Crenshaw: "Thursday at noon will bring Dublin and Columbus a most unique radio station. If you could just see my tongue pressing firmly against my cheek. And stay tuned for more fun and games in the coming weeks as the 106.7 format is ultimately revealed."
CCRC Director of Engineering Greg Savoldi: "The 106.7 signal will emanate from Columbus' premiere north side tower site, the WOSU-TV tower at Highland Lakes, Westerville. The FCC classes 106.7 as a B1, as it will radiate 7300 watts from over 600 feet in the air, providing primary service coverage to over 1 million Central Ohioans."
WMRN-FM becomes the seventh station in the Clear Channel Radio Columbus cluster, joining 92.3/WCOL, 93.3/WLZT, 97.9/WNCI, 105.7/WBWR, 610/WTVN and 1230/WYTS. (WMRN-FM's call letters will change pending FCC approval.)

Not sure if it really makes much of a difference, but technically the 106.7 translator for OSU was rebroadcasting (or licensed to rebroadcast) WOSB Marion, not WOSU-FM Columbus.
- Energy said...
106.7 has been playing TV show themes since noon. They are stunting as "TV 106.7", radio no one can agree on. Apparently the translator is or was still on and is blocking out the signal in some areas of town. I will confirm in a few minutes.

I've been listening to the "TV radio" for a week now and love it...it's awesome and I've got tons of other people addicted to it too. It would be awesome if it could remain like this for a while.
- fishbone48 said...
the TV show theme songs just temporary until they figure out what format they really want to be? I can't believe there would be a market for a station like this....Anywhere.
I've been listening to it for about 10 hours now and it's starting to get old. Isn't there something similar to this on XM radio but with movies?
- Energy said...
It's a stunt until the real format starts on Dec 13 at noon.
- The Marshall said...
Live in UA and learned of the TV Tunes idea from a copy of the 'Other' paper. I have been listening to nothing else but the tunes since. I realize you probably will change to something else and I will go back to NPR but I keep hoping you will realize what a strong idea you have with the TV theme. I have others also tuned in.

What a shame. I only discovered the TV format last night and it's gone. And I hate the new format. Well, at least I got to listen for a few hours, but I definitely won't be listening any more. Yuck.
- Kranky said...
The rebroadcast was of WCBE 90.5 in Newark, OH. Needless to say I'm quite disappointed that I can only listen to this NPR station while in Columbus or streaming over the net. Seems it is an College rock/adult alternative station.
- CletusLynn said...
I want my TV tunes back! I have been spreading the word about this great NEW station and now it's gone. It was fun to listen and guess what show the theme song belongs to plus remembering all those crazy/cheesy shows we all used to watch. What else is new, ANOTHER rock station... lucky us :(
- Nissa said...
I agree, the TV themese were SO GREAT! It was really fun to listen to and remember all the shows I grew up watching. However, I have been listening to the new format and I like it a lot. I will die if we get another crapyy "Morning Zoo" type station with crappy Top 40 music. The songs I have been hearing this week on 106.7 bring back some good memories of me being in my 20s in the early 90s. I love hearing Social Distortion, Blues Traveler, etc.

By DAVID GREEN
For John McCartney, it's all about preservation.
He's seen windows and doors replaced, and sometimes entire buildings torn down when the original could have been saved.
"It's important to preserve the old rather than always tear out and build new," John said. "We promote preservation as a better approach than dumping materials into a landfill."
The major focus of his business is saving old church windows from deterioration.
John and his colleague Brian George were in Morenci last week working on windows at the First Congregational Church where members are preparing for their 150th anniversary Aug. 17. Full Spectrum Stained Glass played an important role in getting the facility in shape.
Several decades ago, church members decided that a Lexan plastic covering should be placed on the outside of the structure's old stained glass windows. It would provide protection to the windows and offer some insulation in cold weather.
That was a good idea, but it came with some problems.
John isn't sure if a chemical reaction took place or whether the Lexan became clouded through decades of wind blown dirt and dust striking the surface. Whatever the reason, the protective covering became so opaque over the years that the stained glass design was nearly impossible to see from the outside.
That's the obvious problem that passersby notice. A stained glass specialist sees other trouble: heat and moisture.
"It actually adds to the deterioration of the stained glass," John said about an improperly installed glazing.
When heat is trapped between the window and the plastic (the glazing), it accelerates the expansion and contraction cycle of the glass pieces and the solder holding them together, explained John's business partner and wife, Valerie.
Trapped moisture accelerates the deterioration of the surrounding wood.
Full Spectrum removed the old Lexan and cut quarter-inch plate glass to take its place. The new glazing includes several ventilation plugs for each window.
Aside from cleaning and painting the sashes, the new glazing is the extent of the work done on this church.
That's often the case, Valerie said, because money is the factor that generally determines what can be done.
When John is called for consultation, the first step is to make a survey of the windows. Problems are identified, priorities are suggested and a course of action is drawn up. Windows are also photographed and catalogued. This provides at least one historical record of the craftsmanship, Valerie explained.
"Some larger churches will have an on-going restoration plan, doing a little bit every year or as funds are available," she said.
There are three tell-tale signs pointing to the need for some major restoration: solder joints cracking and breaking apart; reinforcing pieces no longer doing their job; a sudden change in the appearance of a window, where it looked fine one year and the next year it's bowed or sagging.
In that case, the window must be removed from its casing, packed in a crate and trucked back to the McCartneys' studio in Colon, Mich.
Sometimes the window needs to be taken apart and resoldered. Other times, a broken pane might need gluing or replacing.
"We're fortunate that we've been able to match most every glass needed," Valerie said.
That might seem like a miracle when dealing with glass that's often more than a century old, but a company in Kokomo, Ind., makes it easier in this part of the country.
"They still make the same glass and textures they did 135 years ago," John said.
But not all stained glass in the area came from Kokomo and occasionally a new glass will have to be produced to make the right match.
The windows in Morenci's Congregational church are due for some studio restoration, John said, but there's no immediate concern. Deterioration is generally nothing that happens quickly.
"They'll be good for a lot of years," he said.
Family business
As Valerie describes it, Full Spectrum Stained Glass was founded by sheer accident.
About 20 years ago she suffered from a debilitating virus that left her partially paralyzed for several months. Her sudden change to life in a wheelchair was not going well.
John once visited a stained glass studio when he was on vacation, before he and Valerie were married, and the sight of the craftsmen using old tools to create designs left a lasting impression.
When Valerie needed something to get her through rehabilitation, John suggested stained glass.
"We bought some scrap glass and materials and worked until three in the morning," Valerie recalls. "We had a blast. It kept me from going crazy."
The new enterprise outlasted her illness. A hobby turned into a business.
"I've always been a bit of an artist—I had an exceptional art teacher—and John, on the other hand, is very mechanical," Valerie said. "The combination of both of our talents gave us what it took to get our business off the ground."
The McCartneys' now offer new window design and fabrication in addition to restoration and preservation of church windows and other stained glass creations in homes and institutions.
But is Valerie still taking the time to create stained glass pieces for herself?
"I wish I did," she said. "I have sketches of things I want to do for my house, but by the end of the work day...maybe when I retire."
