There are many trade-offs inherent to your life if you are a Division I student-athlete. You get a free education while playing the sport you love in front of adoring fans. But you also take on a full-time job that affords few vacations or holidays. A female basketball player practices 40 hours a week, is expected to stay on campus and work out all summer, and must take the court when her classmates are away on vacations. This is as true of a member of one of the weakest major squads in the country as it is of a contributor to the team ranked #6 nationally. On Thanksgiving Day, the women of four disparate programs gave up the opportunity to eat turkey with their families in order to play in the WBCA/Basketball Travelers Classic at Mackey Arena. Purdue’s tournament-opening opponent was Savannah State, the weakest opponent on the Boilers’ entire schedule. Savannah State has been a Division 1 school for such a short period of time that the Lady Tigers don’t even have an RPI rating. When they finally do get such a number assigned, it will be a very low one.
The game played out much as one might have expected, with the hapless Lady Tigers unable to defend the faster Boilers on one end of the court, and unable to score against them on the other. After only six minutes of play, the home team had a 14-2 lead, and each Purdue starter had scored at least once. The only negative was that Erika Valek picked up two quick fouls, but Sharika Webb ran the point in an extremely capable fashion in Valek’s absence, with no drop in the Boilers’ level of play. The hosts were able to pour on the points, running razzle-dazzle fast breaks where precision passing led to point-blank layups. The Vegas Gold and Black went into halftime up by 35, 49-14.
In the second stanza, things picked up right where they had left off for the Boilers. Purdue began the period with a 10 -0 run. Each player in home uniform not only saw extended minutes, but also scored. Things got a bit sloppy when coach Kristy Curry employed combinations of women who had little court experience together, but the Boilers’ effort never flagged. With 11:40 remaining, Shereka Wright drove the baseline and snaked in a bucket to surpass the 1,000-point mark for her career. After receiving a standing ovation, she was soon subbed out. When the game was over, Purdue had reached a new all-time record (78 points) for victory margin, with the final score being 103-25.
The Boilers concentrated on running a transition game, and in getting the ball to players on the low block for easy scoring opportunities. As one might expect, their shot selection was reflected in their field-goal percentage of 60% on the night. The Boilers had an excellent ratio of 29 assists to their 42 made baskets.
To the Boilers’ credit, they did not attempt to press or trap the overmatched Lady Tigers. They were generally in a man-to-man, and that strategy was sufficient in holding the visitors to 19.6% shooting from the floor. Savannah State had 28 turnovers, 15 of which were credited as Purdue steals.
Purdue was dominant in every category Thursday night, and that included rebounding – the hosts pulled down 49 boards to the visitors’ 21. Emily Heikes led the Boilers with 7 rebounds.
Purdue connected on 13 of its 19 attempts from the stripe for a 68% success rate. Mary Jo Noon was the sole Boiler to make a perfect 100%, going 1-for-1.
Purdue had 29 assists to 12 turnovers. Even though positive assist-turnover ratios are expected of point guards and other individual players, it is a rare women’s basketball team that has such success as an entire group. Those that do manage this feat tend to have extremely successful seasons. What was most impressive was the unselfish team play that each Boiler exhibited whenever she was on the court.
In contests such as this, Shereka Wright tends to play a conservative role. The ball doesn’t go to her in offensive sets, and she seems more concerned with helping her teammates get involved than with taking over the game. Still, when she’s all by herself for a breakaway layup, she’s gong to put it in. And when she grabs an offensive rebound, she’s going to make the put-back. And before you know it, all those opportunities add up to a boatload of points. In twenty minutes of play, Shereka scored 19 points (7-of-12 field-goal attempts, 0-of-2 three-point tries, 5-of-6 free-throw attempts), pulled down 6 rebounds, and added 2 blocked shots, 2 steals, 3 assists, and no turnovers. By scoring the 1,000th point of her career during the game, Shereka became the fourth-fastest Boiler to reach quadruple figures. This achievement is all the more remarkable when one considers that Wright came off the bench when a freshman.
Lindsey Hicks had one of her best games as a Boiler. What was most impressive was that she sustained a high level of effort for all 16 minutes that she was on the court. She was able to do the little things that don’t show up in the box score, and generally looked comfortable and focused throughout the evening. Hicks finished with 9 points (4-of-6 FG, 1-of-2 treys), 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 assists to no turnovers.
Erika Valek was consistently able to push the ball up the court and find open shooters. She picked up two quick blocking fouls, which limited her minutes to some extent. When she returned to the court, she was able to play tight defense without picking up a third foul. In her 15 minutes of play, Erika scored 10 points (4-of-7 FG, 2-of-4 treys) and recorded 2 steals. The true measure of a point guard lies in passing rather than in scoring. In this respect, Erika excelled by dishing out 8 assists against her lone turnover.
One of the reasons Erika’s assist totals have increased is that virtually every time Valek throws the ball to Beth Jones, Beth is able to convert. Jones once again played well, both when she had the ball in her hands and when she did not. Particularly impressive were the six rebounds she was able to grab. In sixteen minutes of action, she also collected 12 points (5-of-6 FG, 2-of-3 treys), an assist, a steal, and a turnover.
Mary Jo Noon took a little longer to get going than her teammates as she missed her first two shots. She then “dialed in”, and was able to hit the rest of her attempts. Many offensive sets saw Noon receive the ball on the high block before passing back out to an open perimeter player. Mary Jo passed very well in these situations, and recorded a career-high 3 assists. In addition, Mary Jo had 11 points (5-of-7 FG, 1-of-1 FT), 1 rebound, a blocked shot, and a turnover in 17 minutes of action.
Emily Heikes played the game wearing a large, clear face guard. The mask appeared to be bothering her somewhat, as she’d monkey with it and take it off frequently. She remained as aggressive as always under the basket, pulling down a team-high seven rebounds. Emily’s shot was off initially, but her touch improved as the game wore on. Towards the end of the contest, she had two steals, each of which she took down court for a breakaway layup attempt. On the second such occasion, she was fouled hard and was pushed head over heels on the baseline. Luckily, Emily is a very tough cookie, and seems to be the Boiler most able to sustain such treatment without serious injury. She ended the evening with 9 points (4-of-8 FG, 1-of-2 FT), 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.
Sharika Webb was needed when Valek picked up her second early foul. Webb thus played 25 minutes, the most for any Boiler on the night. Above all else, she established herself as someone with a true point-guard mentality. She seemed to focus on distributing the ball, pushing the tempo, and exciting the crowd with her no-look bullet passes. Some of her turnovers occurred because her teammates are not yet ready to receive such quick balls on the fly. Sharika finished her third game as a collegiate player with 1 point (0-of-2 FG, 1-of-2 FT), 4 rebounds, a blocked shot, and 6 assists to 3 turnovers.
Carol Duncan’s shot began to fall, and she connected on some easy baskets that she might have missed in earlier contests. She brings a great spark off the bench as she attacks every possession and every defensive opportunity. Carol also demonstrated the ability to find the open player as she delivered a nice high-low pass for an assist. The assist joined 10 points (4-of-7 FG, 2-of-3 FT), 6 rebounds, 2 turnovers, and a steal as the box score line she had to show for 16 minutes of play.
Power forward Sabrina Keys might be being groomed to play some center as well, as there were several instances when Keys was joined on the court by either Emily Heikes or Lindsey Hicks, as opposed to Carol or Mary Jo. Currently, Sabrina does the things that don’t show up in the box score better than the things that do. She was able to provide help on defense, and then demonstrate the savvy of the wiliest veteran in recovering to guard her own player. Sabrina looks a little more comfortable every time she takes the court, and one of her made baskets was a gorgeous pull-up jumper. In 17 minutes of action, Sabrina scored 5 points (2-of-4 FG, 1-of-2 FT), pulled down 3 rebounds, and recorded an assist.
Missy Taylor was able to use her long frame to great advantage, and it was evident that she will be almost impossible for opposing teams to match up against once she has added a little strength and recovered 100% from the injury which sidelined her as a high-school senior. As did Carol Duncan’s, Taylor’s shot began dropping with more regularity. One hopes that Thursday’s game provided Missy a huge jolt of confidence she will be able to carry into future contests. In twenty-one minutes, Missy recorded 9 points (4-of-7 FG, 1-of-2 treys), 5 rebounds, 2 steals, a blocked shot, and a turnover.
This game was just what the doctor ordered for Ashley Mays. Ashley looked infinitely more comfortable than she had in past games, and was one of the more active players on the team. Ashley showed glimpses of being a superior defender. She can apply on-ball pressure, cannot be driven against, and was responsible for 2 blocked shots. Mays also snagged 5 rebounds by establishing position and using her “ups”. One hopes that Ashley, like Missy, can use future contests to build on the confidence gained against Savannah State. In addition to the aforementioned blocks and rebounds, Ashley scored 4 points (2-of-3 FG), dished out 2 assists, recorded a steal, and committed 3 turnovers.
Although Brianna Howard’s 5 minutes of action was much shorter than the stretch allotted to any other Boiler, Howard certainly made the most of her time on the court. She was a force in the paint defensively, and was able to disrupt Lady Tigers who were driving to the basket. Unlike most walk-ons, Brianna is an aggressive player who mixes it up on both ends of the court. She looks for her shot, and hit a particularly impressive driving layup despite being hammered by a Savannah State player as the ball was released. Brianna finished with 4 points (1-of-1 FG, 2-of-3 FT), a rebound, and 2 steals.
Perhaps because of the enormous disparity in talent between the opposing sides, each coach appeared to be much more concerned with specific goals than with the outcome of the game. Curry concentrated on distributing the minutes and allowing the bench players to become comfortable on the court. It was announced earlier in the week that Curry and her husband are expecting their second child in May. When she was pregnant with Kelsey during the 1999-2000 season, Kristy blamed any outbursts she exhibited on her wild hormones. Hormones or not, this year’s edition of the Boilers is so focused and hard-working that it’s difficult to imagine Curry unloading on the team very often.
The officials had very little to do – neither team played a particularly physical game, and only 27 fouls were whistled during the contest.
The announced crowd was 3,983 –smaller than for most Purdue home contests, but an extremely good turnout for a Thanksgiving evening. Because the pep band was not present, Mackey Arena was uncharacteristically silent. The cheerleaders did remain over the break, and did their best to get the crowd going while rousing music of various genres was piped in over the public-address system.
Things will get much tougher for the Boilers Friday when they take on Texas Christian University, which overcame an ice-cold start to beat Holy Cross in the opening game by a score of 68-54. The Horned Frogs were able to win without their star player, Sandora Irvin. Although the sophomore was reported to be serving a one-game suspension, the possibility that the TCU coaches were sandbagging so that Purdue couldn’t scout their top scorer occurred to more than one person sitting in my section. The championship clash will provide the Boilers with a much better idea of how they will fare against Big 10 teams than have Purdue’s first three games of the season.

Summer is here... My previous post started in a similar way, only a whole season ago. I spent a lot of time in the garden these past months and it is high time to get back to miniatures. I did make time to visit the Kensington Dollshouse Festival in London last month. As usual it was a wonderful fair where I managed to find some treasures to add to my collection.
One lucky find was this chandelier, made by Weronica Löhr of Crazy4minis. It's always difficult I think to find the right lights for a room. Well, lights which fit my budget anyway, so I was very pleased to find this chandelier.
The lines, shape, style and colour of the chandelier are echoed in the decoration of the fireplace and the wallpaper. Perfect for the Yellow Salon.
Whenever I'm at the fair in London, I buy some of Gill Rawling's (Petite Fleur) metal plants. This time I bought a pot of pelargoniums (commonly referred to as 'geraniums') for the Yellow Salon. I like the contrast of informal garden flowers and pot to the somewhat formal style of the room.
The table (Alison Davies) and the silver candelabra (Jens Torp) are purchases from previous fairs in Holland. I still need candles for the candelabra and I want to make a marbled top for the table.
Now that I have the chandelier in place I can finish the ceiling.
And so there are many more little jobs to do. Perfect jobs for rainy summer days, although to be honest, I hope there won't be too many of those.
Sensational Summer Treats indeed! Sublimely gorgeous.
Your chandelier with the fern fronds interlaced throughout is a Unique Conversation piece and fits in well. I also love the delicacy of the silver with the potted geraniums on the side table and look forward to seeing the new marble top you will be making for it.
Thanks Pepper! Yes I agree the room has a Summer feel. And quite a contrast to the adjoining Blue Salon.
Oh, lijkt me heerlijk om Kensington eens te bezoeken, er zal ongetwijfeld veel moois te zien zijn geweest.
Erg mooi, het doorzetten van die 'flora'-accenten aan/in miniaturen voor deze Gele Salon, Josje. Je hebt prachitge nieuwe aanwinsten toegevoegd aan deze salon en je collectie.
Geniet van het buitenzijn in de zomer, ik wou dat ik dat ook kon zeggen als het mooi/warm weer is ;).
Kan je niet goed tegen de warmte Ilona? Nou moet ik zeggen dat het hier vaak wel 6 graden koeler was dan in het oosten van het land, en altijd met een briesje, dus dat was best uit te houden.
Kensington was erg leuk ja. We hebben een bliksembezoek afgelegd, voor herhaling vatbaar!
Muy bonitas las compras. Me encantan los geranios y el contraste con la elegancia del candelabro.
So do I Isabel! Thank you!
Oooohhh Josje, what a lovely and perfect for this room chandelier you found!!! Great choice! And the Pelargoniums are gorgeous.... made of metal??? This salon is really starting to "shine" and I love the way those "swags" are repeated throughout the decor! The other pieces you have are perfect... especially the silver candelabra! I always have to remind myself that your room is a miniature version.... it looks so real I am fooled Every time!!! LOL!
I hope so too Betsy! Yes, the flowers are metal, brass I believe. Metal flowers are found in many antique dollhouses. They really stand the test of time. I think the leaves on the chandelier, although made by someone else, also come from material to make metal plants.
The geranium is beautiful and I think it adds a human touch, so the room feels like it is lived in, not a museum. Plants and flowers really seem to make scenes come to life. Beautiful work!
Completely agree with you Shannon! Thank you!
Beautiful purchases!!! They go so well in the room.
Thank you! What is the name of your blog?
The Kensington Fair seems such a while ago now and you made some lovely purchases. I especially like your flowers - so dainty. This room is coming along beautifully.
Thank you Irene! Were you at the Kensington Fair?
Thanks Julia! Yes, it makes the house less 'cookie cutter' as they say.

EMU if there are any more changes just post the new file here and I'll replace it for ya.
Thanks, I will do that... I am going to work on it now.
edit: I have attached a revised version. If anyone has the offsets for the Lamborghini LP400, that would be appreciated.
Last edited by EMU; 2006.04.06 at 11:01 AM.
LP400 offsets; front N 1.5mm, rear W 0. The wheels are listed as classic profile.
Information off the setup sheet. Hope this helps.
EMU- nice to see you back on the board!
Look forward to seeing your updated chart.
Just wanted to give this thread a bump. I've moved it to beginner questions but it will eventually get move to the FAQ.
is the third one over listed as MR010 really the awd(MA-010) or mr01?
The reason there are 3 columns is that not all MR01 or MR02 bodies can be used on the MA010, so a seperate column is needed.
EMU, I don't know if this info is useful to your chart, but I fit the following autoscale bodies on an mr o2 with -1 narrow wheels in the front and -1 wide wheels in the rear.
I have sucessfully tested the mini and it works well. I don't know if anybody has already tried fitting these bodies on an mr o2 or not. But I hope this information is useful.
Thanks for the info... I have already seen the Mini in action on an Mr02... I havent seen the others in action yet. I will add the data in the next revision of the chart (I need to overhaul it badly, but havent gotton the time).
on the viper and S2000 bodies U can fit 0 offset wide wheels in the rear. I'm pleased with the way the corolla is driving so far but I will really know how it would handle when I get it on my track. The bodies require little to no modifying.
Magic had a S2000, didn't he? That thing was a beast. Might do something like that myself.
Its fun to drive smaller cars... makes it a lot more challenging though... you will lose battles with the bigger cars, so you have to drive careful.
The Corvette is listed as 1.7w on the rear for the 015 but 3w for everything else. The problem with this is that all the rear axle widths are the same. The measurement should be changed to 3W.

The goal of this meeting is to discuss future developments of the GNU MPFR and the GNU MPC libraries, following the previous meetings from 2011 in Paris and from 2012 in Bordeaux. It is open to all people who are interested to contribute to GNU MPFR and/or GNU MPC, either in writing new code or contributing new ideas (see How to contribute to GNU MPFR?).
Practical organization: there is no registration fee, however people interested in attending this meeting are kindly requested to inform Paul Zimmermann. We have partial support from GDR-IM for two PhD students, other participants are supposed to take in charge their travel and accomodation expenses.
[MPFR/MPC] improve test coverage: 96.4% for MPFR on 2014-01-12, 99.7% for MPC on 2014-01-10.
Improved to 100% for MPC.
Mickaël Gastineau and Bill Hart did design a MPCbench program, which was adapted and integrated into MPFR.
[MPFR/MPC] extend mpcheck to find bugs in glibc for float, double and long double, in any rounding mode (large errors, spurious or missing exceptions, see msg00132.html).
See progress on this page.
Already done by Joseph Myers before the workshop.
It remained only to fix mpfr_lngamma, done by Vincent Lefèvre.
[MPFR] Implement missing functions from clause 9 of IEEE 754-2008 (sinpi, atanpi, atan2pi, ...). C bindings for these functions will appear in draft TS 18661-4 (suggested by Joseph Myers).
[MPFR] memory usage of the mpfr_t type (Andreas).
Discussed, it seems we cannot decrease it simply.
It appeared we first want to optimize mpfr_fma, started by Paul Zimmermann, while Jeroen Demeyer works on mpfr_add. An improved code for a*b+c*d was put in the MPC svn.
Done by Fredrik, integrated in the development version.
A new release 1.0.2 was made before the workshop, see here.
Done and merged during the workshop.
Put by Philippe Théveny in revisions 1432 to 1435 of MPC.
January 21st, 8PM: workshop dinner offered by GDR IM and Caramel.
Support for PhD students: partial support was obtained by GDR-IM for two PhD students, please contact Paul Zimmermann before November 20, 2013.

And they make great iced tea. Recent studies have shown that black tea provides equal health benefits as its green cousin.

I wanted to return. I can tell you the house made tequila was the main reason, but to be honest, my return trip was for another experience – the spa. Ohtli, the name of the spa, means “the path” in the native Nahuatl language. Apparently I desired a return to the path.
I am no stranger to a massage, but I don’t often design trips or select hotels because of a spa. This was my first, but may not my last. The prior year I visited the CasaMagna Marriott Resort in Puerto Vallarta and walked through the Ohtli Spa on a tour right before a tequila tasting with champagne style glasses. And something about the spa stayed with me. Then I received a reminder.
When grabbing my Marriott Rewards card before a trip, I noticed the image on the card. Could it be? Yes it was. The heart of the Ohtli Spa, the pool, was on my card. Of all the Marriott Resorts in the world, the spa at the CasaMagna in Puerto Vallarta was the image on my card.
I arranged for three nights in February and on my third morning, I decided to set aside time for a spa treatment; I selected the hot stone massage. The treatment began with an optional prayer, a Huichol Indian prayer I accepted, and then 90 minutes of bliss as hot stones worked out my tensions and stress.
Outside the treatment room, rather refreshed I found myself staring directly at the pool. I stopped at the edge for a brief minute to soak in the moment. Rejuvenating. I didn’t dive in physically, but certainly did dive in mentally, if not even spiritually. Pure intoxication.
It became apparent of how my “path” involved and continues to involve Mexico. There was something special about the spa and certainly something very special about Puerto Vallarta and Mexico. I learned so much already with so many more adventures ahead, all I could say was a simple “thank you” as I left. Yes, thank you very much.
I’d like to thank the Casa Magna Marriott for hosting me while in Puerto Vallarta, for providing the image of the pool, and reminding me to enjoy my path. Also, this post is part of the 2012 Mexican March Madness series.
ahhh… the spa! Time well spent.
The pictures alone are intoxicating. To be there and see it in person must have been Heavenly. How lucky for you, Craig.
@Steph, yes, I agree… I always leave the spa saying… I need to do that more often.
@Mary, thanks. Yes, very lucky. It seems the “path” led me there. No complaints at all.

Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are battery-operated devices that have cartridges with liquid chemicals in them.
Heat from a battery powered atomizer turns the chemicals into a vapour that is inhaled by the user (called vaping). E-cigarettes look like regular cigarettes. There are other electronic smoking products that look like cigars and pipes.
Some e-cigarettes are reusable. The cartridges of reusable e-cigarettes can be replaced or re filled with liquid (sold separately). The bottled liquid is often called e-liquid. Reusable e-cigarette kits include a battery charger. You can also buy disposable e-cigarettes.
What is in e-cigarette liquid?
There are no standards or labelling requirements for e-cigarettes. This makes it hard to know exactly what is in the liquid. Common contents include a mix of water and propylene glycol, a man-made product used in antifreeze and theatre fog. Many e-cigarettes also have chemicals in them that give the vapour a flavour.
Most liquids have nicotine in them, even though they may be sold as “nicotine–free”. Tests of some of the products labelled as nicotine-free have found nicotine in them.
Although e-cigarettes are promoted as being safe they haven’t been tested for safety. There are no quality controls for making e-cigarettes.
Because chemicals in the cartridges vary, it’s hard to know what e-cigarette users and people nearby are breathing in. Promotional materials for e-cigarettes describe the vapor as water vapor. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found cancer-causing chemicals in some of the cartridges.
Propylene glycol is one of the common ingredients in e-cigarette cartridges. Propylene glycol is used as a food preservative and as antifreeze. It’s not known if vaporized propylene glycol or other chemicals in the cartridges are safe to inhale.
Given that e-cigarettes don’t seem to create the 7,000 chemical (69 of which are known to cause cancer) found in cigarette smoke they are likely safer than smoking a regular cigarette; however, that doesn’t mean they are safe to use.
In one of the few studies done on the use of e-cigarettes researchers found signs of the airways becoming narrow and inflammation after using the e-cigarette for only 5 minutes.
Health Canada advises not to use e-cigarettes because they haven’t been tested and may be harmful. Health Canada also warns that e-cigarettes cause nicotine poisoning and addiction. Health Canada reminds people to keep the products away from children to prevent nicotine poisoning and choking.
E-cigarettes and e-liquids that contain nicotine or that are promoted with a therapeutic health claim (for example, that they help people quit smoking) are regulated health products that have to be authorized by Health Canada before they can be legally sold in Canada. To date, no products have been authorized.
Please call Health Canada toll-free at 1-800-267-9675 if you would like more information about the legality of e-cigarettes.
Can they be smoked anywhere, anytime?
There is a growing trend to ban smoking e-cigarettes indoors. Many health organizations support a ban on the sale of e-cigarettes until more research on the health effects is done.
E-cigarettes may not be used on Alberta Health Services (AHS) property. AHS property means all grounds, facilities, work vehicles and personal vehicles on AHS' grounds or parking lots.
There is no evidence that using e-cigarettes helps people quit smoking. Health Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the World Health organization don’t support e-cigarettes as stop-smoking products.
Health Canada has approved stop-smoking medicine, including over-the-counter nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, and the inhaler. Prescription medicine is also available. These products have been proven to be safe and to help tobacco users reduce or quit.
Alberta Health Services gives support and information for people interested in quitting smoking. Call or text AlbertaQuits at 1-866-710-QUIT (7848) or visit www.albertaquits.ca.

You can apply for a transfer to another Albyn property. We aim to allocate a quota of our homes to transfer applicants in any one year. You can get an application form from our office or download it from this website. Once we have received your form, we will give you points depending on your housing needs, and you will go onto a housing list along with all our other transfer applicants. If we are able to make an offer, it will usually be to the transfer applicant who has the highest points for the area and type of property available at the time.
You can also apply to exchange or swap your home with another tenant. This could be a tenant of Albyn or another housing association, or a council tenant. Exchanges can be done quite locally, but they can also help you to move to another area or part of the country altogether. You can advertise for an exchange in your local area (in shops or the local paper, for example). You can also register free with a national exchange scheme called House Exchange.
Visit their website at the link below to get more information.
You must get our permission and the permission of your exchange partner’s landlord first.
We will not normally refuse permission for an exchange or refuse to consider you for a transfer.
If you have any questions about an exchange or a transfer or need some more advice, please contact a member of our Customer Services Team.

Our NEETcoat exhibition at the Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition generated a great deal of interest last month, putting us in contact with many potential customers and collaborators. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth!
We are currently exhibiting NEETcoat at the Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition in San Antonio this week in booth number 4114. The conference lasts until tomorrow, March 24, so make sure to visit our booth to learn more about NEETcoat and even see some demonstrations of our electrothermal coating in action.
We are pleased to announce some exciting updates for NEETcoat. As of earlier this year, we have a signed contract in place with Insulation Solutions (through Thermal-Coat Technologies) to launch NEETcoat in roofing and flooring markets in the United States and Canada beginning the first quarter of 2016. In addition, we have marketing agreements in place with Carmen Ventures in Iowa, U.S. and Fullerex in Europe to promote our unique spray-on resistive heating system.
We look forward to the new opportunities these arrangements will present us as we continue to spread the word about NEETcoat.
NEETcoat's exhibition at JEC Americas 2015 earlier this month was a big hit! The show gave us the opportunity to speak with many professionals and academics in the composites industry, several of whom followed up with us after the show to learn more about NEETcoat. Thank you to all who visited our booth!
NanoRidge will exhibiting NEETcoat next week at the JEC Americas 2015 conference in Houston, TX. The event program can be found here. Come visit our booth and see NEETcoat in action! Our CTO Kyle Kissell will also be giving a keynote speech about NEETcoat on June 4 at 11:45 AM, so make sure to catch that if you attend. If you are unable to attend, check back here after the event to see some photos.
Welcome to the new nanoridge.com! We hope you enjoy the new look. Please check out our pages on NEETcoat, TeraCopper, and NanoWire to learn more about our three main projects. We will periodically post NanoRidge-related news updates on this page, such as the Houston Business Journal's feature on our LiteWire product from last year.

A Jim Thorpe police officer who charged a borough man with escape testified yesterday that he never told the man he was under arrest or was being detained.
Patrolman Stephen Shabazian admitted at a preliminary hearing that all he did Sept. 15 was ask Joseph Kennedy for his driver's license -- while Shabazian was sitting in his cruiser and Kennedy was walking by.
District Justice Edward Lewis of Jim Thorpe tossed out the escape charge and a summary offense of failing to produce a driver's license when asked. Lewis convicted Kennedy of driving on the wrong side of the road and imposed a $25 fine.
Shabazian, the only witness at the brief hearing, said that fellow Patrolman Robert Transue was driving the cruiser about 2 a.m. Sept. 15. Shabazian said he and Transue saw a step van cross the center line several times as it came up North Street.
The van turned and the driver parked at Kennedy's home. Transue pulled the cruiser alongside the van. Kennedy was out of the van, and Shabazian, while still inside the van, asked Kennedy for his driver's license. Kennedy said his license was inside the house, turned and walked away. Shabazian called out for Kennedy to forget about the license and asked for registration.
Kennedy continued walking toward his house. Shabazian did not follow or try to stop him.
Shabazian lost sight of Kennedy, but, several minutes later, knocked on a door at the Kennedy home. A young girl, who Shabazian said was Kennedy's daughter, answered and said her father was not home. The girl refused to allow Shabazian to search the house.
He told the girl to have her father call the police station when he got home.
Kennedy didn't reappear, but Shabazian stayed put until about 2:30 a.m. He searched Kennedy's van for Kennedy and "for illegal paraphernalia," then left.
On Oct. 8, Shabazian went back to the Kennedy home. Kennedy produced a valid driver's license. Shabazian asked Kennedy to come to the police station to discuss the events of Sept. 15, but Kennedy declined when Shabazian said he didn't know whether criminal charges would be filed.
Shabazian on Oct. 12 filed the charges.
Kennedy's lawyer, Robert T. Yurchak, asked that the escape charge be dismissed because a person who has not been told he is being officially detained cannot escape. Lewis agreed.
In throwing out the failure to produce a license charge, Lewis said that although a person has 15 days in which to show that he has a valid license, Shabazian didn't go back to the Kennedy house for 23 days and didn't make clear whether Kennedy would be charged with a crime.

Welcome to Community Christian Church! We are all about helping people find their way back to God because no matter where you are on your journey of faith, we all have steps to take. No one’s perfect around here, we’re just real people talking about God in real life ways.
From our services to our children’s programs, small groups, and events, you’re in a safe place to explore a relationship with God.
We’d love to see you at one of our services soon! Make sure and swing by the New Here Area in the lobby and pick up your gift card. It’s our way of saying thanks for coming out and making CCC a part of your week. Services are Sundays at 9:15 & 11:00AM and Mondays at 7:00PM. C3 Kids programming is offered at each of our identical services. WARNING – once your kids experience C3 Kids, they’ll be begging you to come back!
If you’d like to know how to get more involved, click HERE.
Services are held on Sunday mornings at 9:15 & 11:00AM and Monday nights at 7:00PM at 8009 Corporate Drive. Each service is about 70 minutes in length.
What if I have questions while I’m there at CCC?
Swing by the Welcome Center. We would love to help you however we can.
No need to get dressed up. But please do get dressed! Some people wear shorts and sandals others wear jerseys and jeans. Sometimes you’ll see dresses, and once in a while a jacket. We’re a come as you are kind of place.
Rest assured that you won’t be put on the spot, singled-out, or embarrassed. As our guest, we will not ask you to announce yourself or differentiate yourself in any way. Feel free to travel at your own pace. Our hope is that you’ll come, enjoy the service, and get a sense of where we’re headed as a church. So in a nutshell…no, you won’t be singled out.
As a guest, you will not be expected to participate in the giving portion of our service. However, if CCC is your church home, we ask you to be faithful in giving to God and partner with us in accomplishing his dream for White Marsh and the world.
At Community Christian Church, we value children. So we’re giving everything we’ve got to make our Children’s Ministry absolutely irresistible. That’s why we have a creative, age appropriate ministry that includes music, activities, small groups, and a Biblical lesson told in a creative, exciting way. You can be confident we’ve worked really hard to create a safe place for your kids. All of our Children’s Ministry volunteers have passed background checks prior to working with your children. Check out the C3 Kids page for more information.
We pretty much ask ourselves that each and every week. The truth is each week has somewhat of a unique thumbprint of its own. But here are some elements you’ll typically experience if you’re a part of CCC for any length of time: humor, media, great music, practical messages from the Bible presented in an understandable (and hopefully enjoyable) way, and communion. It’s our hope that our time together is the highlight of your week.
We started this church because there’s a huge need for healthy churches that bring the hope of God to people in a creative, understandable, and loving way. We want to offer a safe and friendly place for people to check out God and the claims of Jesus Christ. A place where everyone can connect with God and have the opportunity to grow into the person God created them to be. Every single person matters to God – and they matter to us.

This course aims to familiarize students with three forms of nineteenth-century British writing. The first is a sub-category of the Victorian novel—the “industrial” or “social problem” novel—which appeared around mid-century in response to contemporary crises in class-relations. Industrial novelists from Dickens to Disraeli used fiction as both a stage on which to dramatize the plight of the working class, and as a laboratory in which to develop some possible antidotes. In discussing the industrial novel, we will look closely at how middle-class and upper-class writers represented working-class characters, at their rhetorical handling of class conflict, and at how the plots of their novels imagine romantic, narrative, and affective solutions to widespread structural socio-economic problems. We will examine both the power and the limitations of the aesthetic—traditionally a space of consolation and distraction rather than agitation or rupture—in representing suffering and compelling readers to demand political and economic change.
Having asked such questions of working-class representation, we will turn to genres of self-representation, particularly working-class diaries and autobiographies. How did Victorian working-class writers construct their subjectivities without, or even against, the strategies and conventions of middle-class fiction and autobiography? How do these autobiographies and diaries construct the writing self differently from their middle-class analogues? How do such texts frustrate or alter the novel- or memoir-reader’s hunger for closure, symmetry, suspense, diversion? How might such frustrations or alterations have been, or be, politically productive?
Finally, we will look at how several nineteenth-century political and social scientists (particularly Engels and Mayhew) used emerging sociological and political economic methods to chronicle the lives of the working poor. Their texts will help us to ask one of the central questions of the course: what is the relationship between manner and matter, between taxonomy and lived reality—that is, between classification and class?
This question will lead us into the terms “material,” “materiality,” and “materialism” in their many tangled senses—physical (material versus spiritual), industrial (raw material, yards of material), philosophical and historiographic (materialism versus idealism), legal (“material testimony”), gendered (in such etymological and conceptual cognates as “maternal” and “matrix”). Over the course of the semester, we will look at different ways Victorian writers bodied forth their ideas about materiality in print; at the materiality of the signifier; at the relations among things, objects, stuff, and property; and at the relations between “realism” and the “real.” And we will consider what material (again, in all senses) conditions govern our own acts of reading, speaking, getting, giving, spending, and working.
Primary readings from among: Dickens, Gaskell, Kingsley, Disraeli, George Eliot, George Moore; William Dodd, Hannah Cullwick, Emma Smith; Marx, Engels, Mayhew.

this course aims to familiarize students with three forms of nineteenth-century british writing. the first is a sub-category of the victorian novel—the “industrial” or “social problem” novel—which appeared around mid-century in response to contemporary crises in class-relations. industrial novelists from dickens to disraeli used fiction as both a stage on which to dramatize the plight of the working class, and as a laboratory in which to develop some possible antidotes. in discussing the industrial novel, we will look closely at how middle-class and upper-class writers represented working-class characters, at their rhetorical handling of class conflict, and at how the plots of their novels imagine romantic, narrative, and affective solutions to widespread structural socio-economic problems. we will examine both the power and the limitations of the aesthetic—traditionally a space of consolation and distraction rather than agitation or rupture—in representing suffering and compelling readers to demand political and economic change.
having asked such questions of working-class representation, we will turn to genres of self-representation, particularly working-class diaries and autobiographies. how did victorian working-class writers construct their subjectivities without, or even against, the strategies and conventions of middle-class fiction and autobiography? how do these autobiographies and diaries construct the writing self differently from their middle-class analogues? how do such texts frustrate or alter the novel- or memoir-reader’s hunger for closure, symmetry, suspense, diversion? how might such frustrations or alterations have been, or be, politically productive?
finally, we will look at how several nineteenth-century political and social scientists (particularly engels and mayhew) used emerging sociological and political economic methods to chronicle the lives of the working poor. their texts will help us to ask one of the central questions of the course: what is the relationship between manner and matter, between taxonomy and lived reality—that is, between classification and class?
