This past week sucked and then it was pretty eventful too, so I cant really decide which direction it REALLY went in. Where do I start...
- I had two of my 2nd interviews last week, I guess I scored both, but my paperwork is still going through, so no offer letters yet. One was good I guess, hours-amazing....pay-not so amazing. The other was good, yet vague, pay hadnt been discussed yet, the property AMAZING, but the location not so pretty, yet still close to home for me. I seriously, I cant calm down till I find out DETAILS on both.
- I found the most awesome color nail polish everzzz. Its a solid red glitter color, and though I hate painting my fingernails (i only do toes) I couldnt not test it out on my fingernails. and low and behold it has cracked after 2 days, I will be bringing this shiz to the nail salon.
- People ACTUALLY came to Beaumont to stay this weekend. Of course, they were Justin's friends, but I still consider them mine too. It was fun, we drank, laughed, went out to eat, people paid Penny attention, so nice.
- I got written up not once. But TWICE last week. Lets just say I think they knew I was leaving soon. Way to be professional guys....But the write ups made it THAT much easier to put in my notice. I had been toiling with how I was gonna go about it for a while now. I guess it was just meant to be.
- I went out Saturday and spent money I didnt need to, but whatever, i owed that to myself. I bought an AWESOME magazine holder, (Justy and I have been on the lookout for a cool looking one for a long time now) I got a sweet deal on a new purse that had been orig. $100 for $30 (nice, niccccce) and then Justy so KINDLY bought me some new shampoo. And not just ANY shampoo. Catwalk Headshot Shampoo and Cond. This story is very lame, but my tresses cant take any more of Justin's organic shit!!!! thats right I said it!!!
- The Saints won. I dont even LIKE football. But, I watched it and Im all about rooting for the little guy. So I'm happy for them, Justin and I both agreed though, pc or not, we dont wanna hear about this having to do with Katrina. We just dont. I wont go any further with my remark.
- Today, I figured out what to get Justin for V-day. I had been wanting to do this for a while now, and finally today, I broke down, got on Etsy, and emailed this guy about what I am tryin to do. I cant wait to see how it comes out and to actually show people what it is!!! Justin gave up my gift already since I have to take off work for it, he bought us tickets to go see Jim Gaffigan this friday! Cant. fucking. wait. BACONNNNNN!!!!!!
Whatd you do for your honey for Vday this year??

A bit more about phoney art
Jean Cocteau said something very apposite about this around 75 years ago.
He was talking about writing, but I believe it applies to all kinds of art: "You do not write with ideas. You write with words."
It is not enough to have a "concept" - which is just jargon for idea, used to impress the gullible. You must have the craft to make it work.
Take objets trouves.
Finding something in the street or on the beach and then displaying it is not art. It is good (or bad) taste and a piece of luck. Tracey Emin's dirty knickers are not art. They are the detritus of an imaginative slut.

Kayla - posted on 10/22/2012 ( 2 moms have responded )
hey fellow Mummys.. I need help and I'm just going to waffle on here abit so sorry in advance!!
I'm in the UK and my daughter is 6 years old.. basically me and her father separated properly after being on and off when she was about 1 year old. He was extreamly violenet towards to me.. is an alcoholic.. would turn it around onto me and say it's my fault, that I deserved it and see no wrong in what he did. The next day it never happened.. even to this day he is deluded about how he used to act I know three of his partners all of whom he abused whilst being in a relationship. He would tell me that my daughter would be taken off me if I reported him and that if I left him he would kill me and still have my daughter taken off me.
He just lies and twists thing - very hateful man. Had him arrested several times over the course of the relationship. so after me becoming homeless one day as he had spent all the rent money on drinking for several months.. I left him and starting afresh.
I never stopped him from seeing her then.. but he would say he couldn't be a part of her life if I wasn't to be with him as it hurt him too much. This would hurt me and I would beg him to be involved in her life for the best.
Then over the next few years he was fighting, still drunk every single day and in turn eventually became jobless.. he had begun to leave me alone as he had met somebody else who became pregnant with his latest little one.
So no child maitenance was being paid etc.. just him funding his drink problem. Over these years too he has been admitted into hospital for having seizures. The seizures are a part of withdrawal in heavy drinkers. I have been present when the doctors gave this explanation to him as the cause. They even informed he would eventually kill himself, he had bleeding on the brain from the fall. they kept him in to wean him off and explained drinking would affect the healing and he still ended up discharging himself and going to the pub :( So after I witnessed the seizure I said to him he wasn't to be left alone with my daughter for the reason being anything could happen and it was far too scary for a little one to witness. So she went to see him whilst his partner was there.all throughout these years it was me taking her to him.. travelling the 40 minutes.
They ended up breaking up as he was arrested for hitting her. Then my little one told me that all they did was shout at each other when she was there and that Daddy was asleep most of the days she was there. So.. The final day where I picked her up I went into his flat somebody approached me asking me to ask him if they could have some weed. Went in and noticed empty drug bags, told him enough was enough and I didn't want her around all this. So he hit me and spat in my face infront of her.
So I left and that was it told him I would not be doing all the running about and that she was not to stay there again...
So if he wanted to see her he could come up and meet her and play in the park beside my house together.. This happened once succesfully then he continually let her down or spent his time arguing and calling me names infront of her. If this happened my little one knew we both had to leave that it is not right for Daddy to shout at Mummy.
So he stopped coming up.. just made promises he would pay half of her new big girls bedroom when he had the money. Was still at this point getting no child maintenance. Then after asking him for the money one time he informed me I was money grabbing and that was it he would no longer deal with me to see her he would deal with the mother of his two boys from his previous relationship. as me and her have kept a relationship so they get to see each other. i told him no that was it no more chances.
Quite frustrating that work really hard to buy things and he wastes everything on drink.
I later found out that he had a compensation pay out of 5 grand and had not bothered buying her anything or paying what he owed me. As well as no birthday/Christmas presents over the past 3 years.
So that was that from last year he has seen her once. Then I find out he has moved back to the town I live in and got a job (bar manager) so the drinking still continues just more heavily. The older son of his has his own mobile so they arrange to meet and went off to see him yesterday. But where my daughter mixes with i'm worried about what damage it will do her knowing and wondering why they see them and she don't. Their mum thinks they are too old to stop them going 12 and 8 but understands that I don't for her safety where she is only 5.
So basically I'm asking if I am doing the right thing? I understand that it's best for a child to have two parents but I feel that if she goes again to see him it will do more damage than good to her?
I'm so upset I just don't know what is best, I don't want her growing up to hate me for something i'm doing that I feel is best for her. If his old track record is anything to go back it isn't long before he loses his job when they realise he is drinking the bar dry.
Please help :(

Randy W. Schekman shares recent research at 8TH Annual Weinman Symposium
The 8th Annual Weinman Symposium covered some of the latest cancer research findings, specifically how genes interact with the environment. The event included sessions on gene-environment interaction in lung cancer, how the environment affects T cells in cancer, and gene-environment interactions in studies of indoor air pollution and lung cancer in eastern Asia. Top-scientists from across the nation presented, and looked at opportunities for future research collaborations.
"I am grateful to Mrs. and Mr. Weinman who entrusted me with their donation to bring to Hawai'i some of the best scientists of the world. It is a unique opportunity for us Faculty, post docs and students, to discuss science and make joint projects with them to find new ways to prevent and cure cancer. I am also very grateful to the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer who co-sponsored the meeting," said Dr. Michele Carbone, UH Cancer Center's director of Thoracic Oncology.
Dr. Randy W. Schekman, the 2013 Nobel Prize Winner for Physiology or Medicine, was awarded the 8th Weinman Award presented by Sen. Josh Green, chair of the Committee on Human Services. The event included a Q & A session allowing graduate and post-doctoral students an opportunity to ask Schekman questions on how to conduct research.
Schekman won the Nobel Prize with James Rothman and Thomas C. SĂĽdhof, "for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells".
"Some of the most prominent scientists in the broad field of cancer research spoke at the event. It was a great experience to hear them, and an inspiration to those who attended," said Dr. Bruce Beutler, 2011 Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine.
"It is an honor to have Nobel Laureates and world-renowned researchers sharing their discoveries and looking at ways to collaborate with us here in Hawai'i," said Randall Holcombe, UH Cancer Center director. "We are thankful for the Weinman Foundation for this great opportunity to advance innovative cancer research," said Dr. Randall Holcombe, UH Cancer Center director.
To see photos from the symposium.

Windows Home Premium 64bit
Mailing List within WLM Contacts
Hi Guys,
I have just purchased a new system with Windows 7 Premium and have downloaded Windows Live Mail, as my mail client.
Is there a way to formulate a Mailing List of say... 10 contacts, with it's own Category...say like Execurive Staff for instance, but I don't want these contacts to show in the "All Contacts" folder.
Every time I enter a contact in my new category (which I use infrequently), the name also appears in All Contacts !!!!
I don't want this to happen and it didn't happen in Outlook Express. I was able to create categories (Groups), but the names within, stayed within that folder, until I required them.
I have many private Contacts (friends, family etc) in my All Contacts folder and now all my new work contacts are in there as well!!.
This is very frustrating.
Is there a solution?
Thanks and Regards.

A total of 1,172,671 rounds of golf were played on Los Angeles' 13 municipal courses in 1985, according to the City Recreation and Parks Department. It was the highest number in the history of city courses.
The previous high, 1,127,559 rounds, was established in 1974. The 1985 total also represented a 6.5% increase over the 1984 figure. It was also the fifth consecutive year that play exceeded a million rounds.
Sheldon Jensen, assistant general manager for the Recreation and Parks Department, who oversees golf course operations, cited several reasons for the record play. "First and foremost, the weather, which is always a factor, was very favorable," he said. "We had a comparatively mild winter in 1985, and the summer was not as hot and humid as the previous year.
"With the humidity at minimum levels, damage to our greens was minimal. Another factor in the increased play was that none of our courses was closed because of major construction projects, such as adding new irrigation systems," Jensen said.

The Future of Bioethics : International Dialogues Hardback
Edited by Akira (University of Tokyo) Akabayashi
Akira Akabayashi presents the first book to explore the conversation on bioethics that is taking place between scholars and practitioners from the East and West: the first book in the discipline of bioethics for the globalized world of the future.
An international team of experts address emerging issues in bioethics, focus on new developments and their potential for change, and set the agenda for the future.
Most studies in bioethics advocating East-West dialogue have either attempted cross-cultural comparisons or have proposed Eastern philosophical paradigms to counter Western ideas.
The tacit premise of previous work on the East-West dialogue is therefore a strain of relativism.
Simply maintaining a respectful distance from other cultures is no longer sufficient in this era of globalization.
The time has come for active engagement among different cultural perspectives.
The Future ofBioethics initiates discussion on bioethical issues that arise from new medical technologies such as regenerative medicine, enhancement, research ethics, and synthetic biology, and goes on to address challenging dilemmas that result from the globalization of social change, such as transplantation tourism, publichealth ethics, care in the aging society, and professionalism.
The volume presents original work by leading researchers in the field, alongside that of promising new scholars; as such, it establishes not only a cross-cultural dialogue, but dialogue between researchers of different generations. The book is divided into two parts-the first on the progress of biomedical technologies and ethics, and the second on globalization and bioethics.
Each part contains four sections on different topics, which feature a lead essay followed by a set of commentaries and further discussion.

New Delhi: It appears that Acer too wants a share of the budget-friendly tablet market; a leak on GLBenchmark has revealed some of the specifications of a tablet known as Acer Iconia B1-A71. This tablet will compete directly with the rumoured budget offering from Asus, which is codenamed ME172V and tipped to be a Nexus tablet.
The Acer Iconia B1-A71 has recently been cleared by the Federal Communications Commission and this tablet is believed to make its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show slated to take place in January 2013.
From the GLBenchmark, a few details of the device have been revealed such as it will run on Android 4.1.2 and will feature a screen size of 1024 x 552 pixels which would translate it to an actual display size of 1024 x 600 pixels with a pixel density of 169 ppi. The processor noted here is 1.2GHz dual-core and the GPU is PowerVR SGX 531.
The Acer Iconia B1-A71 is believed to make its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show slated to take place in January 2013.
According to a post on Benchmark.rs, this 7-inch offering from Acer will also come equipped with 512MB of RAM, 8GB of storage, a microSD card slot for storage expansion, GPS and Bluetooth 4.0. The thread also features some press shots of the tablet giving us a preview of what it will look like once it gets officially unveiled.
It appears that the budget Nexus from Asus, the ME172V, will face some serious competition from the likes of the Acer Iconia B1-A71.
For those of you who do not know what the Asus Me172V is about, it is a tablet that is believed to be a Nexus branded device with a 7-inch form factor. The tablet will come in black and white colour variants and will be priced between $129 to $149.
This is a bit more expensive than the previously perceived price tag of $99. This low end tablet from Asus will feature a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels with a TN panel rather than an IPS panel, which means viewing angles will not be as great.
The device now is believed to sport a VIA WM8950 chipset featuring a single Cortex-A9 core and Mali-400 GPU along with 1GB of RAM. The internal memory found here is said to be 16GB and as far as camera optics are concerned, the device will feature a 1.3MP camera.
The last leak surrounding the $99 Nexus tablet came via a photograph on Picasa where a device from Asus, which goes by the codename ME172V, had made an appearance in the EXIF data. The EXIF data revealed that the resolution of the device is 1280 x 720 pixels. Apart from the features mentioned above, nothing else was revealed.
In the benchmark that had appeared earlier this month, the Asus ME172V featured a 1GHz processor and a display with a resolution of 1025 x 600 pixels. The benchmark also revealed that it featured a Mali 400 GPU and runs on Android 4.1.1.
There was no word on the number of cores found on the tablet, but if this device is to be categorised in the sub-$100 price range, we suspect it will be powered by a single-core processor.
It now appears that a trend is slowly building where devices get revealed in benchmarks to create some hype before manufacturers actually take to the stage to announce its wares. However, at next year's CES, we may see two potential competitors go head to head in the battle of the budget-friendly tablets.

BSOD- unexpected hardware failure
I just recently re-installed win 7 on my computer and had no problems up until about a week ago and now I get BSOD periodically. They usually happedn when I'm watching video, but ,again, sometimes when I'm just doing basic tasks. I have attached the dump files per thread. Next time it happens I will also put up the error codes that I receive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basic info:
win 7 32 bit professional, retail version
originally vista machine
about a 4 year old hp machine with a fresh (about 2 weeks old) installation.
Again thanks for any help in advance.

Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .
A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.
Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress
If you are overclocking STOP.
Return to the default settings at least for now.
If you are running a RAID update its driver.

Tuesday was a new experience; I was an Artist in Residence at Missenden Abbey. It was lovely to go back with a different thing to do, I set up a little stand with some of my work, and had a few bits and pieces to sell, and two courses to promote. Then I sat alongside and started to crochet – I chatted with people as they came up to me and trying to catch people eyes as they came along to coffee (I know MORE coffee!) or lunch.
I was able to work on a new beginners course, I have to shorten my existing course, which was 11 sessions this summer, to 7 sessions for the weekend, I also realised that I was using other peoples patterns, when I could use my own! So for these last 2 days, I have designed a simpler flower block, and a small ripple block that I can use to teach (the granny square is one of those patterns that if it was a poem would be by anon, most people that crochet know how to make one, so can't claim it as my own!) I am also in the process of joining and making a border so that there is a project to be completed by the end of the course.
I am also creating a design your own Amigurumi course where we will be learning how to make some basic shapes and then using these shapes to make our own animals, dolls, monsters or aliens!
I had some lovely chats to people, gave out leaflets, crocheted while people were doing their courses, had some lovely mushroom soup for lunch, and had plenty of coffee!

as Walter Hines Page, were revealed to be conservatives and racists.
Tragically, the participants in the bitter economic conflicts of the
late nineteenth century, Populists as well as New South spokesmen,
were gripped by the same psychosis of race. As in most of its history,
the South had few, if any, genuine liberals; no one was able to pro-
vide a counterbalance to the dominant racism. Rather than creating
a genuinely progressive and modern society, the New South spokes-
men, according to Gaston, created patterns of mythmaking that
"worked powerfully to preserve the conservative and racist nature
of Southern civilization down to our times."

Essays on the American West. By Sandra L. Myres, Blaine T. Wil-
liams, Robert L. Williamson, Ray A. Billington. (Austin: Uni-
versity of Texas Press, 1i969. Pp. 114. $4.50.)
Presented in 1968 as the third series of Walter Prescott Webb
Memorial Lectures at the University of Texas, Arlington, these four
essays have no common denominator, save that all deal with the
social or institutional history of the American West or its inter-
pretation. One, by Sandra Myres, focuses on ranching in the Spanish
borderlands, "a multifaceted, multipurpose pioneering agency," and
the only Spanish frontier institution to survive intact into the
modern age (p. 36), after the Anglos adopted and modified its tech-
niques and equipment, its mores, and even its folklore in the post-
Appomattox West. Another, by Blaine T. Williams, is a sociological
study of the settlers of the Peters Colony area of north-central Texas
based on the Census ol 185o which reaches the conclusions, among
others, that the idea ol marriage at an early age and the belief that
widows with children readily remarried are "myths," and that "the
family unit was the unifying force on the American frontier"
(p. 65). A third essay, that of Robert L. Williamson, denigrates the
muzzle-loading rifle as a military weapon. However, Williamson ex-
tolls it as "the common denominator of frontier living" (p. 88), a
tool useful in a multitude of ways for "harvesting game" essential to
daily living or for providing rough-and-ready entertainment.
In the most thought-provoking essay, Ray A. Billington compares
the two frontier historians, Frederick Jackson Turner and Walter

OT: Your family claim to fame
So I wanna hear what your family can make as their claim to fame? I have 3 things. My great-grandpa was offered a contract by the New York Yankees. He sported a 96 mph fastball (it didn't get passed down) but he never made MLB. Also, i am related to Conway Twitty (he is my grandmas cousin. her last name was Jenkins. go look up his real last name). She was also related to Richard Burton. So technically, I was related to Elizabeth Taylor by marriage. How about your families, Mgobloggers? Let's here it.

According to this, maybe so:
"Today's New York Times features the behind-the-scenes story of Bank of America's version of U2's "One" performed at a corporate conference celebrating their merger with MBNA. Watch it now, then read on...Quicktime download This clip could have come right out of an episode of The Office, but it is no fake - proving once again that The Office is closer to reality TV than any of those 'reality' shows could ever hope to be. That really is the BoA brass, and the song is performed by Ethan Chandler, Manhattan bank manager by day, sensitive rocker by night (favorite band: Counting Crows).
"The video is a hoot, and works on so many levels. It shows the crassness of corporate culture (especially those inspirational conferences) while simultaneously reminding us that artistic expression is such a hard-to-control beast. I'm no U2 fan (okay, maybe once, long long ago), but I'm pretty sure they had no intention of their song being co-opted to represent bank mergers, NASCAR, office teamwork, or dissing Capital One."
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have a problem with it.

I'm so excited to get to do the Tuesday Trigger challenge! Love them, but I just haven't been able to keep up in a long time. I'm also super stoked about how this card turned. It's actually similar to what I envisioned, which is a rare thing for me.
Here's the trigger picture.
Okay, so it looks nothing like the sweet pin cushion in the photo, but I was dying to try to turn the PTI pumpkin die into a tomato so I went with it. You can be inspired by function over aesthetic, right? This card is mostly die cuts. The tomato body is the pumpkin shape up die, the leaves are trimmed from the Autumn Acorn leaf die, and the strawberry is the Fruit Fusion berry die. I even used the pumpkin section die as a guide to poke holes for my stitching. Traditionally, I'm not much of a die girl (except for clouds!) so this out of the box for me. The sentiment is from GinaK's Sew Pretty set, which is awesome. The pins are stuck between the layers so there aren't any sharp edges. I'll probably include an 'open with care' note when I send it, just to be safe. :)
See all the beautiful entries at Moxie Fab World. Thanks for looking!
Supplies: Stamps - GinaK Sew Pretty

Leo Boivin Community Centre reopens
PRESCOTT - The Leo Boivin Community Centre is now reopened after a 15-day closure.
The detection of unacceptable air quality prompted the immediate closure of the Leo Boivin Community Centre on October 10, 2017. The Town of Prescott was required to close the community centre under Ontario Health and Safety regulations due to airborne mould. Over the course of the past 10 days, a decontamination process was completed and the facility can now reopen subject to the following conditions:
1. Ongoing air scrubbing with HEPA filters for one additional week in the lobby and dressing rooms.
2. Repeating the air quality test in seven days.
The Town is cautiously optimistic that the next air quality test will show the same or lower levels of mould and allow the Leo Boivin Community Centre to remain open for the remainder of the season. Should the air quality test demonstrate otherwise, the Town will need to explore other remediation options which could include closing the facility for the season.
The health, safety, and well-being of the Leo Boivin Community Centre's users and staff is the top priority of the Town of Prescott and they thank all of those affected for their patience and understanding during this process.

Tottenham Hotspur have told Napoli they must part with Goran Pandev if they want to sign Etienne Capoue this January, reports in the Italian press suggest.
Rafa Benitez is keen to add the Frenchman to his midfield options and reportedly submitted an opening offer of €9m for the 25-year-old last week.
Despite just joining Spurs from Toulouse during the summer transfer window, Capoue's lack of first team football has left him with little choice but to consider a winter move away from the club, should the right offer come in.
Aware of Napoli's eagerness to sign the midfielder, Il Mattino suggest Tottenham will look to exploit that by demanding Pandev be included in any deal.
According to the report, Tottenham will accept an offer in the region of €6m-€8m in addition to the Macedonian forward, whose contract at the Stadio San Paolo expires in the summer of 2015.
Il Mattino suggest that such is Napoli's desperation to add another midfielder to their ranks that they will strongly consider allowing 30-year-old Pandev to move to the Premier League.
The club have already been knocked back in their attempts to sign Lyon captain Maxime Gonalons while they are unlikely to afford a €15m bid for Rubin Kazan midfielder and one-time Tottenham target Yann M'Vila, who is also reportedly under consideration.
Capoue is one of a number of Tottenham players to be linked with moves away at the half way point in the season and head coach Tim Sherwood recently revealed he is more than happy to let some of his fringe players leave if they wish.
When asked if he would allow players to leave in search of first team action, Sherwood told reporters: "Yes, absolutely. As long as they're the right players and the ones that I don't want to take us forward, then I am happy.
"You can only go with a certain amount of players, obviously the pressure's on because it is a World Cup year for a lot of these players.
"It is importantly that they're playing. We can't guarantee that they're going to get maximum game time, but we certainly won't be leaving ourselves short. If no one left I wouldn't be shedding any tears over that either."

Welcome to State College, Pennsylvania
Ranked as One of the Best Places to Live in the Country
The Corner of College Avenue and Allen Street in downtown State College, taken from the gates of Campus
State college is located in the heart of the Nittany valley (also known as "Happy Valley"). "Happy Valley" is often used as a colloquialism for the State College area with commentators at Penn State athletic events, often giving the location as "Happy Valley" rather than mentioning State College or the specific campus facility. The term "Happy Valley" was coined during the Great Depression when the town was not hit as hard by the economic situation due to Penn State University's influence.
In a survey conducted in the late 1980s by Psychology Today, State College was ranked as one of the least stressful places in the United States. A more recent rating put State College 19th among "50 Smart Places to Live." The same source states: "Sperling's BestPlaces research group has previously ranked State College the No.1 safest small city in America, and Forbes, thanks in large part to the tremendous amount of research conducted at the University, listed State College among the top 10 smaller metro areas in which to start a career or business." In 2007, CNN Money said State College was the number one "single" city based on percentage of unmarried people living there. Most recently, in 2012-2013, the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) ranked State College the third "Best College Town and City" in the under 250,000 residents category
In the August issue of Rolling Stone magazine, State College received honorable mention in best music scenes throughout the country. Small bands that have formed in State College include Swiss Alps, The Fiddlercrabs, The Imperial Orgy, Cootie Brown, and Katsu.
There are dozens of restaurants and bars unique to State College, most of which are concentrated in the downtown area along College Avenue and Beaver Avenue and their cross streets.
The town is surrounded by hills and forests ideal for hiking.

The State College area typically enjoys one of the lowest unemployment rates in the State. Penn State is by far the largest single employer in the region, employing nearly 25,000 full- and part-time workers in 2012. Other industries in the area include healthcare, retail, hospitality services, and government.
State College is served by the State College Area School District which operates nine elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school for residents in and around State College. Situated in the heart of Pennsylvania, State College is a thriving, dynamic community. The State College Area School District draws its students from a 150 square mile attendance area encompassing the Borough of State College and the surrounding townships of College, Ferguson, Halfmoon, Harris, and Patton, totaling an enrollment of approximately 6,900.
Competitive pay for teachers and challenging staff development programs help enable SCASD to select from the top personnel available. The average per pupil ratio for classroom teachers is 23 to 1 at the elementary level and 24 to 1 at the secondary level.

While State College is most known for the Penn State Nittany Lions, it is also home to the State College Spikes, a minor league baseball team. The team is part of the New York-Penn League and has played in Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, also home to Penn State baseball, since 2006. In 2014, the Spikes were the NY-PL Pinckney Division and league Champions.
The Nittany Valley Symphony has been part of the State College community since 1967 and offers regular concert performances on campus at Eisenhower Auditorium. The group also holds and participates in numerous special events throughout the area. Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra was founded in 1991 as a professional chamber orchestra. They regularly perform at the 400-seat Esber Recital Hall on campus as well as various other venues throughout the State College area. State College is also home to the Central Pennsylvania Youth Orchestra, part of the Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania.
The State College Community Theatre group offers regular performances at venues such as The State Theatre in State College and Boal Barn Playhouse in nearby Boalsburg. Additionally, Pennsylvania Centre Stage offers regular performances at the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center in State College and the on-campus Pavilion Theatre and Playhouse Theatre.

Dynamic Medical Services has the VAX-D Therapeutic Table!
VAX-D (Vertebral Axial Decompression) is designed to relieve pressure on structures that cause low back pain. The procedure relieves the pressure by achieving decompression of inter-vertebral discs and facet joints scientifically managed by a programmable logic controller.
Benefits of VAX-D
The effectiveness of the VAX-D Treatment has been the subject of published clinical studies which highlight the following benefits achieved in the majority of patients:
- Relief of acute or chronic (long term) low back pain and/or associated leg pain or numbness, generally within 1 month
- Early return to work
- Non-invasive and nearly always safe
- No patient hospitalization
How is VAX-D Treatment Applied?
Patients with low back pain are first examined and then evaluated in accordance with the indications for VAX-D Treatment. Patient medical histories, X-rays and CT/MRI scans are carefully reviewed to determine whether the individual patient qualifies for the procedure. If a patient qualifies for VAX-D Treatment, an individual treatment plan (usually consisting of 20+ treatment sessions) is developed to meet their specific needs.
Each session begins by fitting the patient with a patented pelvic harness designed to achieve optimal decompression of the lumbar spine. The patient lies fully dressed on the VAX-D® device and is properly positioned by a trained VAX-D technician to maximize comfort and safety.
The controls and settings are adjusted in accordance with the individual patient's treatment plan, and the procedure commences. The VAX-D device then applies precisely controlled tension along the axis of the spinal column to distract the vertebral segments and posterior facets of the lumbar spine and decompress the inter-vertebral discs.
Each distraction cycle, lasting 60 seconds, is followed by a relaxation cycle of similar duration.

Red Wings 4, Stars 1NHL.com @NHLdotcom
DALLAS (AP) - Many of the faces have changed on both teams over the last four years, but Chris Osgood and the Detroit Red Wings still own the Stars in Dallas.
Osgood stopped 27 shots, and Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and two assists to send the Red Wings to their fourth straight victory, 4-1 over the Stars on Tuesday night.
The Stars have won only one of their last 11 home games against the Red Wings and Dallas hasn't beaten Detroit since Jan. 16, 2002.
"It's one of those teams I enjoy playing," said Osgood, 24-9-1 against the Stars. "I don't know if I know their tendencies but for whatever reason, I feel confident when I play them."
Osgood is trying to impress a new coach in Mike Babcock and remain Detroit's top goaltender.
"What I've done in the past doesn't mean anything," said Osgood, 11-3-3 this season. "I still have something to prove. I want to be here. I want to stay here, and to do that I have to play well."
Mikael Samuelsson, Tomas Holmstrom and Kirk Maltby also had goals for the Red Wings in the first meeting of the season between the Western Conference rivals.
"You always know they are going to be tough and you have to do the little things," Zetterberg said. "It's fun to play these high-ranked teams. It's a chance for us to see where we stand."
Dallas started the day as the No. 2 seed in the conference behind Detroit, and the Stars know they have some catching up to do.
"They're the top team in the Western Conference," Stars coach Dave Tippett said. "They're the measuring stick. This shows how much we have to grow as a team."
Marty Turco, recovering from the flu, made 20 saves for the Stars, who had won 17 of 22. Turco has never beaten the Red Wings in 10 meetings. Jaroslav Svoboda scored the lone Dallas goal.
Dallas had nine of the game's first 11 shots, but Osgood held the Stars scoreless with a series of tough stops.
"We had a good start but Osgood made some great saves," Stars captain Mike Modano said. "They don't panic. They're a real poised team. You've got to be patient. You can't take chances."
Detroit notched the first goal with the aid of Turco's turnover on a clearing pass. Zetterberg intercepted the puck along the right boards and passed to a cutting Samuelsson, who sent a one-timer past Turco at 8:34 of the first period.
"Too often it's been happening lately ... bad plays behind the net and turning the puck over," Turco said. "For me, it's got to get better for us to keep our confidence."
Dallas tied it when Niklas Hagman passed from his knees to Svoboda, who one-timed a shot from the right circle by Osgood at 16:49.
The Red Wings capitalized on a turnover by defenseman Sergei Zubov, resulting in Zetterberg's 17th goal of the season on a backhander from the slot at 4:14 of the second period for a 2-1 Detroit edge.
Holmstrom converted Zetterberg's centering pass at 8:34 of the third period to give Detroit a 3-1 advantage. Maltby then scored into an empty net with 45 seconds left after Turco was pulled for an extra skater.
The Stars are only 10-6 on home ice, 13-4 on the road.
"We try too hard at home," Modano said. "We try to be too fancy. When things don't go well, the fans get on you and you try even harder. On the road we play a simpler game."
Notes: Stars C Stu Barnes was done for the night after sustaining a hip flexor in the first period. ... Detroit G Manny Legace is expected to be ready to play on New Year's Eve against Columbus after being out since Nov. 25 due to a sprained left knee. ... Dallas D Philippe Boucher will miss a week to 10 days with a broken finger on his left hand. Boucher was out for six games, then played three games with the injury. It was affecting his play and he's missed the last two contests. ... Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman remains out with a groin injury.

Monday, September 15, 1659. The crew of the merchant brig De Reden captained by Jan De Vries set sail to Curacao in the New World. On the way they took on the passenger Don Bartolo Aguilar, a Spanish nobleman, and his two retainers. Don Bartolo was also seeking passage to Curacao. The voyage was to take two months.
Thursday, September 25, 1659. De Reden is caught up in a storm at sea. The ship takes considerable damage from lightning and storm. The main mast is damaged and the hull received major damage in two places. Afterwards the ship was becalmed for six days. The crew effected jury repairs. At this time it was revealed to the crew that Don Bartolo was buying off the First Mate Pieter de Groot. Bartolo was dissatisfied with the progress of the ship. Later Bartolo discovered through de Groot that the captain was sailing the ship to Sint Maarten for repairs and that that would add weeks to his arrival at Curacao. This let Bartolo to plan a mutiny with some of the crew that he bought off. De Groot approached the ships surgeon-carpenter, master gunner, and master topman to buy them off.
Sunday, October 12, 1659. De Groot confronts Captain De Vries about the ship and springs the mutiny. The captain, aided by his loyal crew including the master gunner, surgeon-carpenter, and master topman, resist and defeat the armed mutineers with their bare hands. Don Bartolo is captured along with the remaining mutineers.
Saturday, October 18, 1659. The De Reden finally limps into Philipsburg Harbor in Sint Maarten. The governor gives Captain De Vries permission to repair and resupply the ship along with news that The Netherlands is at war with Spain. He then rewards the captain and crew with a letter of marque that allows them to attack non-dutch vessels, specifically Spanish ships. Crew plans to careen and repair the De Reden.

- Page 1 Panasonic HDC-SDT750
- Page 2 Modes and Features
- Page 3 Performance and Verdict
It's the 3D video, however, that matters most, and despite the limitations of shooting in this mode, here the SDT750 delivers commendably. The 3D has depth and clarity, although of course, the quality of the 3D is also affected by the system you use to watch it. We were viewing footage on a Panasonic TX-P50VT20B, but the SDT750 can output video over HDMI to any TV supporting the side-by-side 3D format. It's also theoretically possible to upload 3D footage to YouTube, although the latter doesn't automatically recognise the side-by-side AVCHD files created by the SDT750. So in practice this won't be straightforward.
As we predicted, in 3D mode the SDT750 does not perform as well in low light as other high-end Panasonic HD camcorders. The image is darker, although colours are still quite faithful. But in 2D mode, the performance is exactly the same as the HDC-TM700, which makes it one of the best consumer-grade HD camcorders currently on the market.
Whilst watching 3D footage directly on a 3D TV is easy, editing 3D footage will be more problematic. The supplied HD Writer AE 2.6T can interpret the 3D files and decode their side-by-side format so they appear as 2D onscreen. It can also trim the files and splice them together. However, regular video editing apps aren't 3D aware, and even professional apps like Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 currently require third-party plugins. Annoyingly, HD Writer AE 2.6T doesn't have the ability to upload footage to YouTube. Instead, your primary methods of watching the footage will be either directly from the camcorder, or by burning it to AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray, using a 3D TV.
The Panasonic HDC-SDT750 is the first serious 3D camcorder for consumers, and it performs its job commendably. However, the current price is nearly twice that of a similarly specified 2D-only Panasonic HD camcorder, such as the HDC-TM700. So you're paying a significant premium for the 3D lens and shooting abilities. If you're a die-hard early adopter with deep pockets, this is a real semi-professional 3D camcorder. But the rest of us will have to wait for the prices to go down.

I have been reading books for years, when I was a
little boy until now. Although it was a long time ago,
everything seems yesterday- the day I began having
love in reading books. Before third grade, I was
always a lazy boy who never did homework or prepared
for the next class, especially in reading the stories.
But everything had changed since I came to my school
library. I still remember my trip to the place which
completely changed a boy who just liked Mom and
grandma told him stories but reading books like me.
That is a very large library with millions of books,
magazines and poems. Because I had a presentation in
class about the story I like, that why I have to read,
of course, for the first time. It was so excited and
definitely different to what Mom often told me. I read
"The Snow White and Seven Dwarfs", which my grandma
told me many times.
But, reading by myself is more
wonderful than listen to someone. And from that on, I
only want to read, I love reading. I read many kinds
of books, many kinds of stories, fiction, and
non-fiction, but I love only comic books. I don't mean
the others are not good, yet I still like comic books
better. The books that made me be complained by my Mom
because I stayed up too late to read them. I wanted
only the "funny" comics -- I had little interest in
adventure, war or other kinds of comics. I had an
enormous collection which was my most prized
possession (much as my book collection is currently my
most valued physical possession). I had hundreds of
comics and knew the contents of each one in intimate
detail. Of course all...

Seems I didn't have to wait that long. It has finally arrived and it is now in my possession.
It took less than 2 weeks and a half for it to arrive. Sadly, I had to go over to maxis to check…they didn't call me to inform as promised. So, I don't know how long it had been sitting at the maxis Centre since arrival. Well, not like I was going to let that ruined the whole experience.
For those of you who placed an order since early September and have not received news of your units arriving, I suggest you head on over to the centre and check. You're likely to get the good news as I did yesterday morning.
Yesterday started out with me taking a last minute detour to TTDI on the way to work. The driver behind me I reckon, didn't appreciate my sudden lane change to get into TTDI. Thanks to most people still celebrating Hari Raya, finding a car park in that otherwise congested region of Kuala Lumpur would have been like ***censored***. I checked with Lawrence, and with a smiling face, he told me yes, it was ready for collection. "Do you want to collect it now?" He told me it would take about 15 to 20 minutes.
I went outside to make a phone call to my wife to convey the good news, and to work out a way to pay for it. I need to make certain arrangements with the bank and some credit cards in order to pay for this. I told Lawrence I was going to come back in the afternoon or evening to settle it.
I headed to office right after, a drive which was as surreal as it could get. As I reverse-parked my car, I scraped the rear bumper against the rough wall surface outside my office. Nope, face was still beaming. Wasn't going to let that ruined the day for me. Went down to check the damage…ah heck! I was getting the 3G S today. Damage Schlamage.
To cut a long story short, I went into office at 11 am, finished some bugging KPI-related report for the month, applied for the afternoon off, left office at 2 pm, and headed home to pick the wife. We went to some banks to settle some outstandings, and by the time we got to maxis, it was already 4 pm. Both the wife and me skipped lunch…despite our stomachs growling to the max. Oh, did i mention we didn't have breakfast that morning as well?
Our wait at maxis started at 4 pm, and we were only called to the counter at 4.35 pm, thanks to 2 lady-customers who couldn't decide what contract plan to be on. I even spoke to them about their iPhones, and suggested what plan to take, hoping that would expedite the queue line, but they have their own theories and calculations to remain in contemplation. They must have been there for a long time, as when they left, the maxis customer service officer looked up and gave a sigh of relief. Though my wife had begun to grow edgy with the wait, I maintained my cool because…yes, you got that right – I was collecting my 3G S. She didn't blame maxis for the slow service. It was the customers. Why couldn't they decide that at home, since the contract plans and related information were readily available? If it's the confidence in having a person explain the details to them over the counter, I don't blame them…but do spare a thought for those in line. With 3 iPhones already in their possession, I'm sure the 2 ladies would understand by then not to keep people from getting their iPhones!
When it got to my turn, I was given the chance to officiate the opening of the box. The nice Malay lady at the counter slit open the wrapping over at one edge, and passed me the box to do the opening. She mentioned that she understood how people felt about being the first one to open the box. She was really nice and understanding! With the attentiveness and care of a maternity surgeon, I unboxed and delivered my iPhone to the world…!
I activated the iPhone on the spot, after much thinking of whether to do it at home or there and then. Figuring that I didn't have much time at home later, I decided to go with the latter. After the quick activation, she requested for me to check the condition of the iPhone, for any scratches, dings, dents or imperfections. I didn't think it was necessary, but I gave it a once-over anyhow. True enough, I found a hairline scratch on the silver surface of the silent button. Being an indigo child (or so I'd like to believe!), I have excellent eyesight which is above the average of the common mortals. My wife couldn't see it, neither could the maxis CS officer. She confirmed that the unit has not been handled before, and said that I would have to wait another day if I wanted to change it.
I decided not to change. It was a minor scratch line not really visible unless you look very very closely. My wife eventually saw it in the reflection of daylight, after much turning and flipping the phone. We were done and out of maxis Centre by 5.10 pm. I don't think I could stomach another day of wait. If I had to, I would have to go back and kick the wall that scraped my bumper, flicked the bird to the driver who wasn't pleased with my car manoeuvre, give maxis a spanking for not informing me of stock arrival, and get even with the ladies who made me wait for over half an hour. All with an empty stomach! No thank you.

People getting a catamaran ready to move to the ocean's edge.
Artwork has always been a part of my life. I'm an artist with two backgrounds, commercial art, and fine art. For the past 38 years I worked in the commercial field. I made my living as a commercial artist, and maintained the joy of doing abstract fine art. I enjoyed this freedom, and would at times incorporate my ideas for use in commercial projects. Today in my senior years, I been able to spend time on the fine art side of my career. It keeps me thinking, dreaming, visualizing, and growing. I�m a realist, and enjoy this time of being creative. Tropical scenery is my canvas, the ocean, the beach, and people are my subject matter. I use vivid colors and have done so throughout my career. It is the common thread in all my work,...

Become the wellness leader within digital
Thermen Bussloo is a premium wellness resort, with high standards of personalisation. Their challenge is that they have many different types of customers. How can they digitally communicate personal offers for every single customer type?
In order to better understand behavior of different customer types a DMP was integrated in all channels and connected to the booking data. Customer profiles were built over time.
Green Orange started analysing several of these customer profiles. Finding correlations in behavior patterns between several customer profiles. Customer segments were created by clustering frequency of visits, spend, communication channels and travel time.
By mapping the customer segments the big opportunities on how to grow which customer segments became clear. Together with partners specialized in e-mail marketing and online advertising we started to use this data to send custom offers to different segments. In order to proof that this level of personalisation results in better turn-over, we created dynamic content on the Thermen Bussloo website and A/B tested this content.

A Well-rounded treatment of 20th Century conflicts.
John A. Kuczma | Marietta, GA USA | 02/19/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The Century of Warfare is a somewhat inconsistent but generally satisfying production that mixes flashes of brilliance with equal doses of mediocrity.The strength of this set lies in attention to detail, such as the strong opening episode which examines the political and social make-up of the world from the late 1800s up to the start of the First World War. Factors often overlooked by more conventional military history video productions are given their just due, including a refreshingly thorough examination of the Balkan tinderbox.World War I is given very detailed treatment, particularly in lesser known theaters. For example, the episode entitled Battle Fleets and U-Boats takes the time to cover many secondary naval clashes, as opposed to the usual tunnel-vision emphasis on submarine warfare and the Battle of Jutland.World War II is a weak spot, primarily because there are more comprehensive works available, in particular the masterful "World at War" series. However, given the overall scope of The Century of Warfare, these are relatively minor weaknesses.The Korean Conflict is given more than a cursory look, another conspicuous plus for this production. Many minor conflicts which have been largely ignored (at least by Western historians) are also covered.Production values are excellent, relying on historical footage with no attempt to edit or correct flaws. This insistence on authentic images imparts an almost tangible immediacy and power to the series.The one serious weakness is in the narration. Robert Powell's droning, monotonous reading of the script is an excellent prescription for insomnia but does little to support what is often a powerful and gripping visual record.Taken as a whole, the strengths of The Century of Warfare far outweigh its few weaknesses. This is a superior overview of 20th century armed conflicts, a legitimate bargain for students of military history or anyone wishing to see a major factor in this dynamic and too often tragic period of time."
A well done set with comprehensive coverage
R. Hildebrand | Bellingham, WA USA | 12/01/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This set more than makes up for the "Disaster" (Victory) At Sea collection recently released by the History Channel.These discs are wonderfully mastered, with very few recreations ( and those are subtly done ) plus first rate production values: the sound quality is superb, the music plays quitely in the background and adds to the overall effect, rather than being a distraction. The narration is informative, and well paced. The narration comes out front and center in the 5.1 format, with the music providing stereo effects, and the dubbing of the sound effects is well done, and matches the pacing and content of the original silent film well. There is some minor surround info, but that is not a detriment. The discs break the years/events into well chosen blocks, and the net effect is that a great deal of information is presented, without being dull or overbearing. Some of the early moving footage is particularly rare and has been well cleaned up in these transfers. The narrative perspective tends to be British, talking about the "war of 1914-1918" rather than "World War One" as Americans are used to, but the overall effect is very competent and correct. While admitedly no historian, I didn't notice any real gaffs in either facts or the conclusions as presented.
The quality of the transfers is EXCELLENT, holding up very well even on a big screen ( 47" ) in progressive scan. The image is sharp, and well lit. The intro's are a bit repetitous, but at least they don't everwhelm you in blasting modern stereo and then leave the audio to fade out to inteligibility when you get into the program, and each of the 4 major segements on each disc has a "Play all" button so you don't have to endlessly work the remote or the menus.
All in all, a program which displays everything you've come to expect from the History Channel, and provides a level of enjoyment and entertainment you might wish were found on more such DVD sets.
Well worth the cost, and a bargain if you shop around !"
College level history lessons
it | Sunnyvale, CA USA | 12/18/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is real history given at the freshman college level. The main information is in the audio with the video as illustrations.
This is in stark contrast to the junior high school level journalism-propaganda type programs on PBS that pass for history lessons.
One shortcoming is that it does not give enough time to the espionage operations of the wars. Another is some minor errors. For example the Bismark is claimed to have been sunk. The captain claimed it was scuttled. Underwater photos of the wreck confirm this.
There are some errors. In the Vietnam portion they describe a general rotating out after two years (standard Army practice) as being relieved of his command. They fail to mention that the final collapse was caused by congress cutting off resupply of critical items such as ammunition. Tet 68 was a US victory. Almost of the Vietcong were killed when they fought to the death instead of retreating. After that the war was carried on by regular army troops of the north who wore civilian clothes. Another error was their inferring that the US public in general had turned against the war by 1972 or so. Nixon won the election by the second greatest landslide in presidential election history. He won over the other candidate who wanted to stop the war immediately and withdraw immediately."
Kay's Husband | Virginia, U.S.A. | 01/01/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
Purchased these 7 discs several years ago and upon recent review, am still quite content that we have them. Though everything is pretty much in black and white, the choice and quality makes these films well worth watching.
The 7 discs start with "The Violent Century" or overview of modern war and weapons development ending with disc 7 with the "Gulf War and The Future". With each disc covering in length from 156 minutes to over 200. So the viewer covers a time period from Lawrence of Arabia right though the 'jungles of Vietnam' through the 'liberation of Kuwait'.
With The History Channel involved in this presentation, need more be said. This boxed set will stand alone or compliment any other series a viewer may have. For the historian or military historian, this set is a pleasure to watch. And it seemingly goes on forever.
Semper Fi."

Bangalore: After a gap of over seven months, the recording of the statement of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa`s close aide Sasikala Natarajan resumed on Wednesday before the special court trying the disproportionate assets case against them.
Appearing before Special Judge MS Balakrishna, Sasikala replied to 110 questions framed by the court, taking the total number of questions answered till today to 742 out of the total over a 1,000. The Judge adjourned the matter to tomorrow.
The questions posed by the court today mainly pertained to transfer of money to the partnership firms of Sasikala and Jayalalithaa and also amounts going into their individual accounts.
Sasikala had last appeared for recording of her statement on May 2, 2012. Till then she had answered 632 questions.
Since then, the proceedings were adjourned periodically in view of pendency of petitions by Sasikala and others over various matters.
On Dec 11, the court had dismissed separate applications filed by Sasikala and third accused VN Sudhakaran for either return of unmarked documents or copies thereof.
Jayalalithaa has been charged with accumulating wealth disproportionate to her known sources of income to the tune of Rs 66 crore when she was Chief Minister between 1991 and 1995 and the case was transferred to Bangalore by the Supreme Court on a petition by DMK General Secretary K Anbazhagan.
