', man ! let emsee you will have your ' | own way and not be led around by ! the nose and they'll give right up i | and be as mellow as a fall apple but j 1 am glad catherine thought of get ting oiimpia here this fall it'll be a help to em both for the joneses ! ! are poor but i don't care a rush for | j that ! i'd rather have a pour girl j anyhow than a fine lady that didn't | know how to make up a feather-bed ! or fry a slap-jack 1 like a woman that can bustle around and see to things even if she don't have to do em herself — one that can make a pat of butter or pick a goose or spin a hank of yarn if need be and i like to see a woman look neat he went on as he curried the dappled mare and rubbed her down with a wisp of hay and olympia always looks as neat as a new pin when 1 call there anyhow i do hope she'll come he added anxiously of course olynipia would go and she ran quickly up stairs to pack up her clothes it's a mighty good ehunce for me she thought as she brushed her curls before the little looking-glass and i'll improve it too but i'll not help with the house-work long 7 she added wait till i get to be mistress up there and sec who'll house work then !' lysauder's heart gave a jump as the wagon hove in sight with its two occupants and visions of the blissful weeks to come danced through his mind he was so embarrassed and overcome with delight at the coquet ish smile olympia bestowed on him that he hardly had presence of mind enough to let down the bars for them to pass through now olynipia bustled mis-cath erine when they had laid oil their hats and shawls it's time we begun dinner lysander must have it at 12 o'clock precisely or he thinks he's killed 1 here's a couple of pullets in the coop out in the chip-yard she added tying a clean check-apron around her waist you may wring their necks and git em ready for roasting while i start up a fire in the cook-stove olympia looked at her pink calico dress with its flounces and ruffles and wondered if miss catherine would of fer her a check apron too but miss catherine did no such thing and olympia wrung the chickens necks and prepared them for the oven with rather a cross look shadowing her pretty f'ice dot em in the oven asked miss catherine sharply then you can mix up a batch of biscuits while i make the johnny-cake lysander al ways must have two kinds of bread for dinner or he can't eat she ex plained humph thought olympia lie w.ou't get two kinds of bread for din ner when i'm mistress lure i can tell him !' but she turned to the bre d-tray without a word by the time the biscuits were in the oven the waist a-nd front breadths of olymnia's dre-s looked considerably i the worse for the morning's campaign miss catherine blew the dinner horn at the usual hour and lysander appeared punctually at 12 o'clock liut tor some reason or other din ner was a half hour later than usual and when it was finally dished and i brought to the table the biscuits proved to be underdone and the chickens rousted to a crisp had bad luck with your biscuits didn't you catherine said her bro | ther making a wry face at the yellow streak of saleratas he found on break ing opening one of the leaden lumps but miss catherine smiled leniently olyinpia had bad luck with her biscuits she said : but i believe my bread is as good as usual and she passed him a square of light golden colored corn-bread more tempting than pound-cake lysander left his biscuit untasted biit cast a glance of compassion at j olympia accidents will happen he said consolingly though he could not help noticing a sullen look on miss jones lace in spite of the smile she flashed at him he noticed also the tumbled curls and soiled untidy dress have some told mutton lysander said his sister if you can't eat any of the chicken olympia will learn how to cook after awhile so it was olympia who burned the , chickens ! lysander finished his dinner in si | lence though he still made excuses i for all shortcomings olympia changed her soiled dress j before tea-time and was beaming with smiles when lysander took his seat at the table lint the tea had a wishy washy taste the butter-dish was smeared and untidy and the apple sauce was insipid and flavorless the biscuits were light and pufly this time lor miss catherine had made them herself lysander had a good disposition but unpalatable food will disorder the best regulated liver and upset the temper of an angel and miss cathe rine soon discovered a fresh wrinkle over her brother's nose one morning lysander strode into the kitchen where his sister was mix ing light bread — for she could not trust it to olympia who had already spoiled two batches which had to be thrown to the pig catherine whispered lysander j hurriedly the minister's folks are coming up the lane of con rse they'll ! spend the day and do pray cathe rine cook the dinner yourself ! don't let us be disgraced in their eves miss catherine saw her opportuni ty and seized it cook the dinner myself dear me lysander how can i ?' she asked we must have turkey of course and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pies and a steamed batter-pudding with lemon-sauce and cabbage-salad ! be sides who will entertain the visitors while i'm ill the kitchen ? olympia olympia ! pshaw ! she can't do anything but giggle growled ly sander savagely much to his sister's amusement i'll tell what lysander said miss catherine reflectively i must have some help and if you'll just saddle the mare and lead her around for 11 11 ! j;il rush i'm sure she'll come and lysander hastened to do his sister's bidding dinner was on the able at precise ly twelve o'clock and the rev mr shepherd and his family testified to the excellence of the richly-b.owned turkey juicy and uuctious the mash ed potatoes and gravy the golden hued pies and yellow batter pudding with its rich sauce — to say nothing of ligh flaky rolls and fresh butter and when after dinner lysander stepped into the dining-room for a pitcher of water he could not help observing the contrast between hul dah's satin-smooth braids and snowy neck riillie and olympiad tawny rib bons and biowzy hair olympia said miss catherine a couple of weeks later as she took a folded paper from the bureau drawer here's a present i've got for you a new dress ! it's basket cloth and there's some blue trimmings and silk buttons forjou and — and olympia 1 shan't need you any longer for my brother is going to be married to-mor row to miss ilulda hush and she's a powerful good housekeeper you know just what i thought said mrs jones when her daughter appeared with her bundle of clothes you all us was lazy and slovenly an allus will be i reckon i'm sorry i went there now grumbled olympia it's all that plagued old maid's fault i know :' and it was miss catherine's man agement that saved her brother from that snare but he never suspected it of course — helen w dark i — chicago june 4 — a special to the daily news from toronto ontario

Unusual and Beautiful Ideas for Table Runners (That You Can DIY!)
There once was a time when we simply draped a plain piece of fabric across a table and called it good. Then we started experimenting with new-but-old materials, like burlap, and dared to leave the edges frayed. Now we do all sorts of things from bandannas to quilts, but these five table runners take the cake for being unusual, beautiful, and centerpieces in themselves.
1. Add a colorful burst of whimsy to your table with this pretty pinwheel table runner. Green Wedding Shoes has a DIY tutorial here!
2. Garlands are not just for hanging. This green runner was made from bunches of magnolia leaves wired together and left to gracefully drape down the side of the table.
3. This dramatic living succulent runner by Tend (in collaboration with Sugar and Fluff) was designed for a wedding showcase. Swoon!
4. For a simple and rustic tablescape, event designer Sugar and Fluff draped a sheet of moss down the table and accented with natural elements, like twigs and flowers.
5. This Polaroid runner is a brilliant idea for a personal get-together, like a reunion, birthday, or holiday dinner. Simply tape Polaroids (or any old photos) together on the back to create a nostalgic setting.

Djokovic advances, Tsonga crashes out
Novak Djokovic remained on course for his first title of the season with a second round victory over Victor Hanescu 7-6 6-2 at the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday.
Djokovic, the second ranked player in the world, is off to a slow 2014 and has only defeats at the Australian Open and the Dubai Duty Free Championship to show for thus far.
He failed to reach the final in either event, but does bring positive vibes to Indian Wells, California where he is a two-time champion.
Facing the Romanian Hanescu, Djokovic fended off five break points during the competitive opening set before dominating the tiebreaker and taking complete control of the match from there.
"I didn't make any returns in the first set. (In the) Second set I also struggled with the return, which is one of my better sides in the game generally speaking," Djokovic told reporters after registering his 550th career win, the sixth active player to do so.
"It's the first match and it takes a little bit of time to get used to the center court. I haven't played on it this year."
Djokovic will next face Alejandro Gonzalez who made the third round by defeating Ivan Dodig 6-4 2-6 7-6.
Elsewhere in the draw, a couple of high seeds were sent home packing early.
Fourth seed Tomas Berdych was upset by Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut 4-6 6-2 6-4.
Berdych had been in strong form, winning 11 matches in a row in February, but slipped up in the early loss.
Sixth seed Juan Martin del Potro withdrew because of a left wrist injury that had also forced him out of the Dubai tourney last week.
Ninth seed Jo-Willfried Tsonga, of France, also bowed out in a 6-4 6-4 loss to fellow countryman Julien Benneteau.
Eighth seed Richard Gasquet and 12th seed John Isner advanced after surviving a volatile day.

Australia leave door ajar for retired Mike Hussey
New Delhi, March 19 (IANS)
Australia are contemplating bringing Mike Hussey back from retirement if he wants to stage a middle-order return for the Ashes.
The 37-year-old retired in January after the Sydney Test but since then his absence from the Australian team has been sorely felt.
Coach Mickey Arthur indicated that he was interested in Hussey if the veteran shows interest.
"We'd certainly listen to Mike Hussey if Mike Hussey came knocking at our door," Arthur was quoted as saying by Australian daily The Age.
Since retiring, Hussey has been in good form in the domestic circuit. He has continued his run-scoring for Western Australia and in his last two Sheffield Shield matches he made unbeaten 99 and 96.
But by July 10, when the Ashes start with the first Test against England at Trent Bridge, Hussey would turn 38.
Hussey, however, has brushed aside the speculations about his return last week.
"Nah, I don't think so," he said, adding that Australia had to stick by the squad they had chosen for the tour.
Arthur admits that Australia dearly misses Hussey and ex-captain Ricky Ponting.
"Yeah, we miss him (Hussey). We miss the aura of Ricky Ponting. But I'm hoping that these younger players will take over that mantle in time to come. They're nowhere near ready yet. But in time to come, they've got to step up and take on those mantles because they're going to be the role models for the next generation of cricketers," he said.
"I'm confident we've got the best players here. These guys just need to be given that confidence and just need to stand up. I'm pretty sure they will," he said.

Newly signed Houston Dynamo forward Carlo Costly led the Honduran national team to victory, scoring the two goals in los Catrachos' 2-0 win over Venezuela on Wednesday night in a friendly at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Costly, who took the field from the start, struck 10 minutes apart in the second half before coming out of the match in the 69th minute. He has now scored 20 goals for Honduras in 49 career appearances.
The Honduras veteran broke the deadlock in the 58th minute when he buried a corner kick swung in by Mario Martínez. In the 68th minute, Costly gave Honduras its second goal of the night. Fellow forward Jerry Bengtson whipped in a cross from the right side for Costly, who put it away for the final 2-0 score line.
Also playing in the match were Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza and FC Dallas forward Marvin Chávez. Espinoza started the match and went 82 minutes before coming off. Chávez, meanwhile, came on as a sub in the 63rd minute and immediately threatened to score, but sent a shot just wide of the post.

Moving English Language Learners to English Proficiency
One of the key strategies in No Child Left Behind is to ensure that English language learner (ELL) students meet rigorous standards. The OCR enforcement offices are working with districts to help them develop evaluation plans to ensure that language acquisition programs are research-based and that ELL students are meeting performance standards. OCR monitors implementation of resolution agreements to ensure that districts conduct effective program evaluations and measure the progress of ELL students.
|"I want to commend you for your efforts over the past three years…I
have been very gratified by the results you have gotten at [the school]. You have
eased my mind tremendously. I feel that the [English language learner] students
are being educated and supported as they have never been before… You have
done something miraculous for everyone in that school."
26, 2003, letter
As a part of its April 2003 nationwide compliance initiative on misidentification of minorities in special education, OCR also focused on ensuring that national origin minority students are not referred for evaluation or placed in special education programs on the basis of their limited English proficiency. Special education programs are essential to ensure that language minority students with disabilities receive an appropriate educational experience. However, studies have documented discrepancies in the levels of referral and placement of ELL students in special education. Where violations of the law are found, OCR will work with districts to develop resolution agreements, including a technical assistance component that emphasizes reaching out to parents of language minority students so that they are better able to make sound educational choices concerning their children's schooling

Are you tired of dragging your fishing boat, ski boat, or wake board boat back and forth to the lake? Are those slip fees getting to be too expensive? Wouldn't it be great to always have your boat right there on the back of your houseboat, ready to go with no scum line?
A new lift has been developed by Divnick International, Inc. that will be unveiled on Thoroughbred's show boat at this year's Expo, August 27 to 29, 2010.
Steve Divnick, who has a number of other inventions and patents (www.divnick.com) explains, "Unlike traditional lifts that lower a sloped platform into the water, our new lift operates straight up and down. It can be lowered into the water so your ski boat, wakeboard boat, fishing boat, or PWC can glide over it without any resistance or wear on the hull. With the push of a button, it raises straight up and level with your swim platforms."
A bonus of the lift platform being level at all times is that you can actually BACK your boat onto the lift for overnight or long-term storage. It also makes it easy to service your engine or prop.
The Divnick Lift has no external hydraulic cylinders or hoses so it eliminates the risk of an environmental mess and expensive repair that would otherwise require the houseboat to be raised or pulled out of the water. The Divnick Lift uses a unique system to move the platform. They won't be publishing pictures or descriptions of the mechanism before the On Water Expo, but you will be able to see it operate up close and personal at the show.
Another benefit of this new lift is that none of its parts are in the water when the lift is in the UP or "stored" position. If you have had any experience with hydraulic rams that are always in the water, they become contaminated with algae and other growth which causes sluggish movement and accelerated seal wear. The Divnick Lift stays clean.
Perhaps most amazing is that when in the UP position, the entire lift mechanism will be hidden from view. The mechanism is contained within the same thickness as the platform itself. No one driving past your houseboat in the marina will know how you got your play boat up there! This will look especially puzzling when your boat is backed in. James Bond would love this lift!
Divnick reports, "We have had a slanted hinged platform lift on our houseboat for the past several years. It is great to always have our ski boat waiting for us when we come to the lake.without any scum-line on the hull, and no additional slip rental. But I wanted to come up with a way to make the platform operate straight up and down because I knew that would include all these other benefits. So I started sketching ideas and making models several years ago." Divnick's new 20' x 106' houseboat is also under construction at Thoroughbred and will include the heavy-duty version that can lift 5,000 pounds, enough to handle any wake board boat.
When Shawn Heinen, President of Thoroughbred (www.tbboats.com) saw the working model that Divnick brought to the Louisville Houseboat Show, he immediately knew it was a winner. "I knew this would change the way small boats and PWC's were loaded on the back of houseboats, and I wanted Thoroughbred to be the first to offer it. It will not cost any more than traditional hydraulic lifts, but will be a lot more versatile. When people consider how handy it is to always have their small boat right there with their houseboat, we think they will love this system."
So this year's On-Water Houseboat Expo will have a never-before-seen innovation. We invite you to come see all the new houseboats, and to watch the Divnick Lift perform its magic.

Hi Justin,
Good for you for keeping your wife happy! Maybe you will end up liking partner dancing some day.
Tom and I go to various dances on the peninsula. Tonight we are going to check out "Awesome Bob" at the Sequim Elks from 7 to 10. His song selection is a little bit more old-fashioned than we like, but his videos sounded good.
We also run a monthly dance in Port Townsend called Luv2Dance - playing mostly very modern, funky music suitable for West Coast Swing and hip hop, plus a wide variety of other genres. Most people are beginners, so you would not feel out of place! If you want to get on our e-mail list, just let me know. The next one is July 9 at 7:00 pm at the Port Townsend Masonic Hall.
Welcome, Justin! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends.
Yes, we ARE glad to have you join us!!
I mistakenly put in the earlier question mark.
Hi Justin,
I see we live nearby. Do you and your wife do any social dancing? If so, we will probably run into you at one of the events on the peninsula.
I look exactly like FSM - as shown in picture - (just kidding)!

Romney, Gingrich, Santorum to be keynote speakers but Paul absent
Paul Joseph Watson
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Despite winning the event's annual straw poll for the last two years running, Ron Paul has seemingly been excluded from this year's CPAC conference, with Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich announced as keynote speakers but Paul appearing nowhere on the roster.
The exclusion of Paul is likely a maneuver by GOP insiders to re-align CPAC, the biggest annual conservative confab, with the Republican establishment and prevent an embarrassing straw poll defeat for likely presidential pick Mitt Romney, who Paul beat in 2010 and 2011.
According to the CPAC website, fellow presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum will all address the event scheduled to take place Feb. 8-11 in Washington, but Ron Paul will be absent.
"Although a combination of factors might be at play, including Paul's focus on the Maine caucuses, a changing of the guard at the top of CPAC's management team is likely behind Paul's exclusion," notes Stephen Woodward.
Indeed, the selection of former chairman of the Florida Republican Party Al Cardenas to lead CPAC has brought with it a decidedly neoconservative flavor to the 2012 event.
Besides Romney and Gingrich, the likes of Ann Coulter, John Bolton, Sen. Mitch McConnell, Herman Cain and Rick Perry will all speak at the conference.
During a post CPAC 2011 interview, American Conservative Union (ACU) chief Cardenas put Ron Paul supporters on notice by warning them that they would not be invited to the 2012 event if they failed to act with "civility" after previous speakers Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were booed by Paul activists.
The change in direction seemingly stems from a revolt, characterized by Politico as a "conservative civil war," that preceded last year's conference fueled by concerns expressed by establishment Republicans that the conference was turning "libertarian".
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who boycotted the 2010 and 2011 conferences because of the attendance of Ron Paul and his supporters, is set to return to speak at the 2012 event.
CPAC's move to marginalize true conservatives like Ron Paul also stems from concerns that the rival Values Voter Summit is gaining more prominence within establishment Republican circles.
Paul has won the CPAC straw poll for the past two years running and has spoke at the last three conferences.
Following his victory last year, Fox News erroneously reported that Paul had been booed by the audience when his win was announced. In reality, Fox played footage from the previous year's event when Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed the result and Paul supporters had been absent due to a Campaign for Liberty meeting running late.
Although Ron Paul supporters have presumably been uninvited because they booed Cheney and Rumsfeld, Romney fans who booed Paul will be in attendance at CPAC 2012, highlighting the hypocrisy behind Paul's exclusion.

Corsair's K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard offers a lot of feedback
Subject: General Tech | June 30, 2014 - 02:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, Vengeance K70, K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, corsair, Corsair Vengeance
The Corsair Vengeance K70 not only has Cherry Red MX switches to give a smooth keypress up until the key has traversed fully but you can also set it up to flash that keys LED when the key has depressed fully. The Tech Report tested the original Red version, Brown and Blue are now available for those who prefer a different feeling from tickling their keyboard. The RGB model which is able to control the LED colour on each key separately will be available very soon if that feature appeals to you. This may not be the newest model of keyboard but the overall styling, functionality, NKRO and adjustable polling rate help it remain at the top of it's niche market.
"Corsair's Vengeance K70 keyboard is a masterful combination of Cherry MX mechanical switches, programmable backlighting, and distinctive industrial design. We get all touchy feely with one of the finest mechanical keyboards around."

Corsair's Vengeance 1400 Gaming Headset and other goodies

Bjorn3D looks at some new members to Corsair's Vengeance family including a mouse, mechanical keyboard and the 1400 Gaming Headset. This headset is refreshingly plain considering the bright colours most of the competition is currently using on their headsets. The 50mm drivers imply decent bass response but unfortunately that was not the experience that Bjorn3D had with this headset, though overall sound was pleasantly clear. For the $80 asking price you get what you would expect, decent headphones with little in the way of accessories or extras but perfect for gamers on a budget.
"Today we have a chance to look at a full gaming gear set from the team at Digital storm which is now a partner with Corsair, so the gear you see here today are all available as accessories to the high-end systems offerings from the team at Digital Storm. This package consists of the Corsair Vengeance M65 Gaming Mouse, the Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and the Corsair Vengeance 1400 Gaming Headset."

High speed DIMMs for Haswell, Corsair's Vengeance Pro series
Subject: Memory | June 27, 2013 - 07:44 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: corsair, Corsair Vengeance, Corsair Vengeance Pro, DDR3-2400
Hot on the heels of Haswell comes high speed DIMMs from most manufacturers in much greater quantity than previously available. For instance the Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2400C10 Memory Kit, a pair of 8GB DIMMs with timings of 10-12-12-31 at stock and part of a family of RAM that runs from 8GB to 32GB and is available in speeds of up to 2933MHz. MadShrimps just reviewed these DIMMs and while they didn't have much luck overclocking them they were more than satisfied with the stability at stock speeds.
"CORSAIR just recently launched their brand new Vengeance Pro series kits. These are designed to set new levels in value and overclocking. With a new stylish and aggressive looking heat spreader design, available in four different flavors: Blue, Gold Red and Silver color. The current products range up from 8GB to a whopping 64GB kit. The rated speeds start of at 1600MHz up to 2933MHz for the flagship version; especially the high end versions are being optimized for Intel's 4th generation Haswell processors. At Computex 2013, CORSAIR already showed higher specced versions, though if these will ever hit the shelves remains a big question. The today's reviewed Vengeance Pro kit is one of the more enthusiast targeted kits, comprising out of two 8GB 2400MHz Cas 10 DIMMs, with a red accent finish."

A pair of Corsair mouse and keyboard combos

Tagged: input, gaming mouse, mechanical keyboard, corsair, m60, k60, m90, k90, Corsair Vengeance
Pairing your mouse and keyboard will not unlock special powers like a full outfit will in many games however there is something satisfying about having matched peripherals, especially when they are effective tools. The Corsair Vengeance K90 and M90 as well as the M60 and K60 are up for review at Neoseeker. The Vengeance 90 series is the more customizable, and expensive of the two, perfect for those who need to be able to program a wide variety of macros to launch at the press of a single button while the 60 series is more for those who play FPS games and really don't need the same level of programability. Check out the full review to see which of the two combos most attracts you.
"Corsair tests the waters of the keyboard and mouse market with their first input device peripherals that use Cherry MX Red switches and dedicated gaming features. We test out the Vegeance K90/M90 and K60/M60 keyboard/mouse combos in our latest review."

A quick peripheral roundup, Corsair's Vengeance series
Subject: General Tech | September 20, 2011 - 12:20 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: corsair, Corsair Vengeance, audio, keyboard, gaming mouse
Over at Overclockers Club is a look at Corsair's Vengeance series of keyboards, mice and headsets. They captured several slides from a recent presentation that show a brief history of Corsair's products as well as having hands on time with the newest members of the Vengeance lineup. From the M60 mouse with a dedicated sniper button to the K60 mechanical keyboard, they've focused on the needs of gamers, not casual users. The Vengeance 1100 headset and it's noise cancelling microphone also gets a look.
"The M60 is Corsair's new enthusiast grade-gaming mouse that looks to improve user experience in first-person shooters. Like the M90, the M60 utilizes an Avago 5670 DPI sensor with lift-detection for real-time adjustments. However, the M60 utilizes an aluminum unibody design with an adjustable center of gravity and PTFE glide pads. Making the Vengeance M60 potentially even more powerful as a FPS tool, there is also a red "sniper" button that lowers the DPI on-the-fly. When activated, the mouse toggles between a high-speed DPI mode and a precision mode. This serves to improve accuracy when using in-game sniper rifles, and could come in handy whenever a lower DPI is required for kills."

Bigfoot Sets World Record Jump
Monster trucks hold a special place in my heart. Even now, watching needlessly large trucks take to the air makes my inner 10 year-old a little bit giddy. So when I found out that Bigfoot set a new world record jump, I thought that other people might be interested in seeing the original monster truck do its thing as well. It wasn't a sudden surge of nostalgia that brought it back into mind. Instead, it heard that Bigfoot had broken the World Record for a monster truck jump.
I concede that monster truck jumping might not exactly be the most serious automotive accomplishment, but whatever. Monster trucks are basically in a world all their own. Comparing them to normal motor sports is like comparing professional wrestlers to Olympic grapplers. Sure, the guys in the Olympics might get the credit for being excellent at wrestling, but they don't have thousands of fans, drama, and pyrotechnics.
Indulge your inner child and watch Bigfoot break the record. I've also added one of the older videos where big foot jumps a plane. With explosions in the background. If that doesn't get you feeling patriotic, I don't know what will.

In November, students in Professor Linda Villarosa's"Introduction to Journalism" class participated in an online press conference with the producers of "Overly Attached Andy," a new YouTube television series. After the Q&A was over, each student filed their story and Professor Villarosa selected two of the best, by Aurea Gonzalez and Akbar Mirza, to post on "The Conversation," the City College journalism program's blog.
Two years ago, Professor Villarosa, the program director, began the blog because, she explained, "I needed a way to connect digitally with my students." Today, she not only has a blog for the program but for each of the courses she teaches. The journalism program, which is housed in City College's media and communication arts department, offers an 18-credit minor that has approximately 100 enrolled students.
For "The Conversation," she typically writes one or two posts a week. Topics can be anything that would appeal to journalism students or people interested in the media. One recent post was about a City College graduate who sued P Diddy for back wages from an unpaid internship. Another showed students how to visually communicate data with their stories, and linked to a training site produced by the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.
The blogs are published in WordPress, a blogging tool that many mainstream media sites are based on, she noted. In addition to commenting on media trends and issues, she provides practical advice on topics such as obtaining internships and resume writing.
Blogging represents a big change from Professor Villarosa's days as an editor and writer with "The New York Times" and executive editor of "Essence" magazine. There, she was accustomed to stories that ran 1,500 – 3,000 words. "I had to train myself to write tighter because blogging is for people with less time to read," she said. "The goal is to figure out your point of view and story and boil it down to a simple concept."
Not only is blogging a useful communications tool, but also a good model for journalism students to follow, she added. "Students need to link to stories they have written online so they can establish a digital presence and promote their work." Her latest post describes four must-do steps for doing this.
Professor Villarosa uses the individual class blogs to post supplemental materials, such as articles she wants her students to read, and a planning calendar to keep students abreast of deadlines and other vital dates. She also has them submit their written assignments as Google docs, so they don't have to be printed out. That saves paper, which, she added, gives blogging another benefit: it is good for the environment.

Coaches always talk about their teams getting better with each game.
Certainly that is the case with Lipscomb's Bisons basketball team. Thursday night at Allen Arena they rolled to a 74-42 Atlantic Sun win over UNF at Allen Arena. The 32-points gave the Bisons their largest victory margin this season.
But more important than the scoring advantage for Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson was the defensive effort of the Bisons. They held UNF to 28.8 percent shooting from the field, hitting only 17-of-59 attempts.
Guard Tom Hammonds, who came into the game as UNF's leading scorer with 13.9 points per game, failed to connect from the field, missing all 12 of his attempts.
"We are better defensively," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "I thought we did what we wanted to do defensively. In the last couple of games we have taken out some of the better players on different teams. We did a good job on Hammonds. I was proud of us defensively."
The Bisons opened with a 3-point shot by guard Michael Lusk. Lusk scored the next six points as the Bisons built an 8-0 lead. They never trailed in the game on their way to their third straight win.
At the half the Bisons had built up a 36-21 lead, tying their biggest margin of the first 20 minutes.
The Bisons started the second half with a 5-0 run. Freshman center Adnan Hodzic scored on a lay-up and freshman guard Josh Slater connected on a 3-pointer to give the Bisons a 41-21 lead in the first 42 seconds.
But UNF made one big surge with a 10-0 run to cut the lead to 41-31 at 17:04. That would be closest UNF would get to the Bisons in the second half.
Five Bisons scored in double figures. Slater finished with a game-high 17 points. Senior guard LaKory Daniels scored 12 points, all in the second half as he hit four-of-eight 3-point shots.
Also in double figures for the Bisons were Lusk with 11 points, including three-of-three 3-pointers, Hodzic with 10 points and freshman forward Brandon Brown with 10.
One of the keys for the Bisons has been the change to a four-guard lineup with Slater, Lusk, Daniels and Ard starting along with Hodzic.
"Our spacing is a lot better with four guards on the floor," Sanderson said. "We have four guys who can shoot the basketball and drive the basketball. We have guys inside who can score.
"A team has to guard more of the floor with four guards out there. It has really helped us the last three or four games. It has changed the chemistry of the team."
Sanderson made the line-up change in an effort to shake up the Bisons on both ends of the court.
"We weren't getting good shots," Sanderson said. "We weren't playing well defensively. We weren't flowing offensively. Now you have to guard all four of our guys on the perimeter."
Guard Stan Januska was the only UNF player in double figures with 14 points.
The Bisons held a slight 37-34 advantage on the boards. Hodzic and senior center Jason Hopkins each had six rebounds.
Forward DeVon Jones grabbed a game-high seven rebounds for UNF.
The Bisons are 11-13, 5-5 in the A-Sun.
UNF slipped to 1-21, 0-10 in the conference.
The Bisons are back in action at Allen Arena Saturday at 2 p.m. when Jacksonville visits. The Lady Bisons will play Jacksonville at 4:15.

Telco Chief Explains That We Really Only Pay For Half Of Our Internet Connection
from the break-it-down dept
"I think the content providers should be paying for the use of the network - obviously not the piece for the customer to the network, which has already been paid for by the customer in internet access fees, but for accessing the so-called internet cloud."He's actually suggesting that when we buy bandwidth, we're just buying the bandwidth from the end-point to the backbone... and everything else is just free. He's conveniently forgetting (again) that without the content and services provided at all the other endpoints, the value of connecting from the end to the middle is pretty much gone. No one is paying to connect from the end to the middle. They're paying to connect all the ends to each other. That's the value of network effects, and it's what makes it worthwhile to buy internet access. So, he's being both misleading and wrong when he says: "But that ought to be a cost of doing business for them. They shouldn't get on [the network] and expect a free ride." It's a very telco way of looking at things. These are companies that are used to providing centralized services with a government granted monopoly. To them, the only important thing is from the ends to the middle -- where traditionally the telco then provided all the services you needed. They'll conveniently ignore that the only value of connecting to the middle is if you have unencumbered connections to all the other ends as well. In the meantime, with all the big telcos so brazenly talking up how they're going to ditch network neutrality, how is it that FCC chair Kevin Martin can still claim with a straight face that there's no evidence that anyone is trying to break neutral network principles.

Ordered this product so I can go to work and take the elevators to get my bike in my office. Since not allowed to roll my bike in the building I was looking for a bag. The Scicon is perfect for this purpose. Extremely small when folded and very light I can just put it in my backpack with my laptop and go to work.

Can anyone of you lovely bunch help me find a replacement lid for my lock and lock bottle. It's the one from this set:
The little seal inside the bottle screw cap has gone missing and now my bottle leaks *sniff* As I bought this set from Australia, I can't get one the same in the UK and nothing else fits in the bag with my boxes. I can't pack it any other way round either as the bag is designed to stack the boxes one on top of the other with the bottle being on its side on top.
I would be so so grateful if anyone can help me find a replacement and I will gladly swap something in return.
*fingers crossed*
Could you email the company? You could my address in Melbourne if they won't send things outside Australia. The bottle LOOKS like my one, and I have the current version of that set, so you should be able to get a new lid.
I have been given a contact for Europe so I'm hoping that it comes up trumps for me, but I have discovered that this set is discontinued *sniff*
I'm really missing my bottle this week at work and struggling to find a replacement for the short term.
Hello! Do you still need a new lid? My set's lid broke and they replaced my bottle, but only the outside of my lid broke, so the bit you need should still be okay I think? Let me know and I'll post it to you!

Environmentally safe for sustainable development, foundry sand is used in embankments, barrier layer construction, flowable fills, roads construction, Portland cement concrete, and more.
Foundries for the metal-casting industry generate by-products such as used foundry sand. In fact, foundries successfully recycle and reuse sand many a times, and the remaining sand, which is foundry sand, is removed from the foundry. This sand is uniformly sized, high-quality silica sand combined with a binder and used to form moulds for ferrous and non-ferrous castings.
The properties of used foundry-sand properties vary owing to the type of equipment used for foundry processing, types of additives, number of times the sand is reused, and the type and amount of binder. Within the concrete industry, the most successful examples have been using coal fly-ash to make high-quality, durable concrete and recycling old, demolished concrete as aggregate for new concrete.
Dr Jayeshkumar Pitroda, Assistant Professor-Civil Engineering Department, BVM Engineering College, shares more on the applications of foundry sand, which is technically sound and environmentally safe for sustainable development.
The Indian foundry industry: India ranks second in the world based on the number of foundry units that exist (4,550 units) and fourth in terms of total production (7.8 million tonne), according to the 42nd Census of World Casting Production, 2007. Apart from the registered 4,550 units, there are several unregistered units, which according to sources range from 1,500 to 5,000 units. Today, India ranks 10th among casting exporters. Foundries produce a wide variety of castings such as manhole covers, pipe and pipe fittings, sanitary items, tube-well bodies, metric weights, automobile components, railway parts, electric motors, fan bodies, etc; 90 per cent of the castings produced are from the SSI sector. Most of these units are situated in clusters, with cluster size ranging from 30 to 500 units.
The applications: Foundry sand is a by-product of ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting industries, where sand has been used for centuries as a moulding material because of its thermal conductivity. Foundry sand consists primarily of high-quality silica sand with uniform physical characteristics, coated with a thin film of burnt carbon, residue and dust. It can be used in concrete to improve its strength and other durability factors. It can be used as a partial replacement of cement or as a partial replacement of fine aggregates or total replacement of fine aggregate and as supplementary addition to achieve different properties of concrete.
Foundry sand can be used in embankments, barrier layers construction, flowable fills, roads construction, as soil reinforcement, in hot mix asphalt and Portland cement concrete. Further, engineering applications include Portland cement manufacturing, mortars, agriculture or soil amendments, verification of hazardous materials, smelting, rockwool and fibreglass manufacturing and landfill covers or hydraulic barriers. However, limitations include the ability to meet the quantity requirements of precast manufacturers and reduction in workability of concrete.
That said, it can be suitable for a variety of reuses such as:
- Flowable fill: Flowable fill is a liquid-like material that self-compacts and is used as a substitute for conventional soil backfill. The product is easily transported and can be readily re-excavated. The typical mixture contains sand, fly-ash, Portland cement and water. Foundry sand can readily be substituted for virgin sand in flowable fill mixtures.
- Cement and concrete: Sand is a component of Portland cement and concrete. Portland cement requires sand with a silica content of at least 80 per cent, which most foundry sands meet. It also requires certain minerals such as iron and aluminium oxides, which are found in many foundry sands. Cement and additional sand or gravel are components of concrete, allowing further reuse of foundry sand.
Types and physical characteristics: Two general types of binder systems are used in metal casting:
In conclusion: Concerning the compressive strength and flexural strength test of concrete (M20 Grade) for rigid pavement, here are some observations: The maximum compressive strength, flexural strength is achieved at 50 per cent replacement of natural fine aggregate with used foundry sand, which is 40.89 N per sq mm and 8.45 N per sq mm respectively; California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value 4 per cent, Dry Lean Concrete (DLC) = 100 mm thick, so cost of rigid pavement decreases from Rs 757.04 to Rs 632.17. Hence, the use of foundry sand in concrete can save the ferrous and non-ferrous metal industries disposal, cost and produce a ´greener´ concrete for construction. Further, environmental effects from wastes and disposal problems of waste can be reduced. Indeed, used foundry sand can be an innovative construction material if judicious decisions are taken by engineers.
A mix M20 grade was designed as per Indian Standard method (IS: 10262-1982) and the same was used to prepare the test samples. The design mix proportion is done in Table 1.
A cement concrete pavement is to be designed for a two-lane two-way National Highway in Gujarat. The total two-way traffic is 3,000 commercial vehicles per day (cvpd) at the end of the construction period.

The all-new Honda CR-Z sport hybrid coupe starts with Honda's great little 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine and adds its Integrated Motor Assist technology in the form of a 13-horsepower electric motor powered by an 84-cell pack of nickel-metal hydride batteries under the cargo floor. The CR-Z doesn't feel like a hybrid, especially not with the standard 6-speed manual transmission, and that's either a good thing or bad thing depending on your hybrid point of view.
The CR-Z achieves an EPA-rated 35/39 mpg City/Highway with the optional paddle-shifting CVT, or 31/37 mpg with the sportier 6-speed manual transmission. It comes well equipped, including Hill Start Control with the manual transmission. There will doubtless be a ton of aftermarket and performance accessories, because its aerodynamic wedge makes the car so cool looking.
The CR-Z is about the same size as a Honda Fit, but lacks the Fit's function and practicality, being a two-seater instead of five-seater. Cargo space is vast, but storage space within arm's length of the driver is lacking. Acceleration to a zingy redline of 6300 rpm is zippy. The cornering is quick, and the ride and suspension are taut, but with time in the saddle it starts to feel sharp over freeway bumps.
Styling follows Honda Accord design cues, with lovely shoulders, a low hatchback roofline, and chopped tail not unlike the departed and much-loved CRX Si (1983-91), which the CR-Z doesn't pretend to be. Deep lines sweep back and up from the front wheels, creating a sculpted wedge on the side of the car. The headlamps are simple and elegant like the wings of a hawk.
The CR-Z is targeted for a young audience, with electronic capabilities galore, and no rear jump seats even though there's room (there's a 2+2 version in Japan). There are jump benches that fold down for storage, however.
The instrument panel is busy, with a dominant light ring changing colors from green to blue to red depending on how hard you're driving. The dashboard is sculpted to be futuristic, and we wish more design time had been spent on being practical rather than cool. The cloth mesh seats are supportive with good bolstering, and the HID headlamps on the EX are excellent.
There's a world-beating blind spot over your shoulder on account of the roofline, and visibility in the rearview mirror is restricted on account of the nearly flat roofline.
The CR-Z uses its electric motor to go faster. That's not quite what hybrids were made for, to boost acceleration like a turbocharger, but after all, it's a sport coupe.
The CR-Z can be set in Sport, Normal or Econ modes, and you can feel a big difference. It's strong and responsive at 75 mph in Sport mode. Emissions are AT-PZEV, tier 2 bin 2, the cleanest ratings a vehicle with an internal combustion engine can achieve. And it can go 100,000 miles before needing a tuneup.

This past weekend I went down to Zaleski to do a little hiking, to get outside, and most importantly to spend my first overnighter in a hammock. I have backpacked before but only tent camped so I was hoping for a good time.
I left Columbus about 9:45am Saturday morning and got to the trailhead around 11:30. My pack weighed a total of 26.6 pounds- carrying 5 liters of water certainly didn't help, but I wasn't sure where I would be able to filter and I wasn't about to run out of water on the trail.
It was a gorgeous day, just cool enough for hiking yet bright and sunny. I think it was around 50* for most of the hike, and it got up in the 60's at the hottest. Anyway I hiked 1.8 miles in to campsite C where I spotted two hammocks hanging. I had been checking the local hangs and knew a few forum members were going to be out, but I didn't think I would end up running into them. Well I did!
It was Treeslayer and USMCStang who had camped Friday night at sight H. It was about 1 at this point so I introduce myself, talked to them for a little bit and asked about their setups. This was also the first time ever meeting forum members so I stayed pretty quiet, did a lot of listening. They were both nice enough to let me set up camp and drop most of my gear there for the afternoon. Since it was only 1PM I still had a lot of hiking I wanted to get in. With a newly lightened pack ( still probably 12 pounds) I continued on to hike about another 6 miles, did a little loop that brough me back to camp around 5pm.
I was tired and sore, and really relieved to see USMCStang and Treeslayer had already gathered and split wood and started a nice fire. We sat around and talked, told stories, discussed gear and just hung out. Luke from Lukes Ultralight stopped by later on Saturday with his girl, and they were really nice. Luke also has the BIGGEST cuben fiber tarp ive ever seen. Its called the "Winter Palace" and it was large enough to put both his and his girls hammocks under, with the sides still tied down low! Saturday night was supposed to be a perfect night to view the Northern Lights so we kept an eye out but didn't see anything. What we did see however was a night sky LIT up by hundreds of beautiful stars.
It dropped temperature really quick, and with the wind picking up it was a perfect night for sitting around the fire. A few hours of looking up at the stars and I was ready for bed. I think it was around 10:30 when I headed to the hammock.
My sleep setup isn't ideal yet, I haven't purchased an underquilt so I was a little nervous about staying warm on a pad ( thermarest basecamp). I do have the Jacks R Better Sniveller topquilt and I was dressed warm enough. Well getting to sleep wasn't a problem, I got positioned on the pad, with the topquilt tucked all around me and I was warm and toasty. I woke up 3 times to answer natures call, and each time I felt colder than the time before. Woke up 2 or 3 more times just from cold spots where my shoulders, arms, or legs had slipped off the pad or the topquilt was no longer fully tucked. I know this could be prevented with a SPE but I think I'm going to just cave and get an underquilt.
We woke up around 8:30 Sunday and I made some tea, broke camp and hiked back out to the trailhead. All in all it was a wonderful weekend hike where I learned a lot, and got to meet some forum members! Hope I didn't bore you all with my ramblings and no pictures!

The timed events begin at 9 a.m. each day and should end at about 3 p.m., depending on how many dogs are entered, said veteran handler Diane Allen.
The North America Dog Agility Council sponsors the competitions, which are open to spectators free of charge.
Allen, who lives in Moab, will be entering her border collie Bracken. She said any breed of dog that is at least 18 months old may be entered, but the herding dogs tend to be easiest to train.
"They're athletic, they run the hills and round up livestock," she said. "It's deep in that breed's brain. Anybody who can teach a husky to do agility has my admiration."
Although a dog's running speed is important, Allen said the handler must uphold his or her part of the process by communicating quickly what is wanted next.
"It's definitely a team sport," she said.
The sport can help a dog's self-esteem, Allen added.
"A lot of dogs start out shy or a bit aggressive," she said. "It can build confidence in them. They get rewarded because they are having fun."
The length of the course a dog runs can vary between 12 and 20 jumps, depending on whether the animal is a novice or experienced agility contestant. Most runs last between 30 and 50 seconds, Allen said.
She said owners can teach novice dogs to do the jumps in a fairly short amount of time. However, honing a dog's agility skills to cut seconds off of each run takes time.
"You can teach them to jump and do the obstacles, but as in any sport there are the fine details," Allen said.
She called the slalom course one of the most popular events with spectators, saying, "Everybody loves to watch the dogs in the weave poles."
Another event requires dogs to run through a long tunnel. "It's total insanity," Allen said with a laugh.
She said children who attend the agility contests must be accompanied by an adult, and cautioned that anyone wanting to pet a dog should ask the owner first. Spectators should leave their own pets at home, Allen said.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England moved further away from adding more stimulus to Britain's economy this month and seemed less concerned by rising market borrowing costs, minutes of its latest policy meeting showed on Wednesday.
The two current policymakers who in previous months had seen a compelling case for more asset purchases to stimulate activity retreated from this position at the September meeting following signs of strengthening economic growth.
The nine-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) also chose not to repeat July and August's warning that bond market yields were rising faster the data warranted - a rise the Bank had previously worried might be a headwind to the recovery.
It said "promising" data over the past month meant output in the third quarter was likely to be around 0.7 percent, higher than the 0.5 percent it forecast in August. It also predicted growth could strengthen further towards the end of the year.
"Over the month the evidence was consistent with a recovery at least as strong as that expected at the time of the August Inflation Report," the minutes said.
"Were the recovery to falter, the case for further asset purchases would be stronger. But no member judged that further stimulus was appropriate at present."
Policy committee members Paul Fisher and David Miles had voted earlier in the year to restart the central bank's quantitative easing (QE) asset-buying program. They put their call on hold in July and August pending an assessment of future rate guidance adopted by the new governor, Mark Carney.
British 10-year government bond yields surged above 3 percent and sterling hit an eight-month against both the euro and the dollar following the minutes.
"Their tone became less dovish," said Scotiabank economist Alan Clarke. "This is a very sensible move. It would have looked like absolute madness to have been thinking about more QE."
However, the central bank remains keen to avoid having markets think any rise in official interest rates is imminent while recovery remains in its early stages.
Last month Carney unveiled a policy of forward guidance, under which the Bank committed to keep interest rates at 0.5 percent until unemployment falls to 7 percent, unless inflation threatens to get out of control.
The central bank forecast that it would take at least three years for unemployment to fall to this level from 7.8 percent - a time scale most in financial markets think is too pessimistic, with a first rate rise priced in for late 2014 or early 2015.
In Wednesday's minutes, the BoE said the date at which unemployment falls to 7 percent was highly sensitive to specific assumptions on productivity and labor force participation, and stressed that this would not trigger an immediate rate rise.
The central bank said there were signs that economic recovery was taking hold in Britain, helped by stronger than expected growth in the euro zone, but that downside risks from emerging economies had increased.
It noted the rise in short-dated gilt yields could be due to a number of factors, including U.S. market moves, stronger-than-expected British data and potentially the bank's forward guidance policy.
On inflation, the MPC judged that none of the criteria that might cause it to suspend its forward guidance on interest rates had been breached.
Although a rise in oil prices might push inflation up in the short-term, the outlook for 18-24 months' time had improved due to a 3.5 percent strengthening in sterling over the month. Public inflation expectations were little changed.
The Bank's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) could warn the MPC that it needs to raise interest rates to head off a threat to financial stability, but despite signs of rapidly rising house prices in parts of Britain, such a warning is unlikely as the finance committee has other tools to deploy first.
The Bank's long-term goal remains to return inflation to 2 percent, without causing unnecessary volatility in growth. Inflation has exceeded 2 percent since December 2009 but has eased over the past two months.
