OLRT Meets!

(clockwise from top) Joanne, Julie, Lorna, Isabella, Susan, Chris, Marceta and Mary

What do you call the first ” in person” gathering of a community that has been meeting daily online for five years? Is it a reunion? But, technically, don’t we have to meet first to have a reunion? We  already know each other face’s from photos, voices from phone calls, and spirits from the daily sharing of our prayers and life. But this was our first ‘in the flesh’ visit….an incarnational moment. And what a moment it was! Maybe one day I’ll be able to put this moment into words, but all I can do right now is savor it

We were given an incredible welcome by the the Marianist Brothers of Ballybrack. They have wined us, and dined us, and even provided us with some local Irish talent, Sean Frayne,  for an evening of song and laughter. Sean is an alumnus of St. Laurence school. And, thanks to Susan, our days are packed with sight-seeing and fun.

Last night, we gathered for prayer and shared gifts and items brought from home.  We joined Pati in Philadelphia via a Skype call, wishing she could have been with us. Joanne and Chris suprised us with a new OLRT logo. The ceramic version is in the group picture above. Joanne also gave us each a carved, wooden symbol to take home. This morning, we finally had a community lectio prayer in person. It was amazing to hear the voices and see the faces.

Mary shared her excitement at finally being together for Eucharist. We gathered with the Brothers to celebrate the feast of St. Catherine of Siena – lovely timing! During our shared homily, the immensity of the moment was felt by all. We were touched to hear the brothers speak of their happiness to be part of our retreat, as much as we were happy to be with them. Yet another great moment of Marianist family spirit.

As usual, I’m writing this blog late in the evening and we’re getting up early tomorrow for a trip to Dublin. Hopefully I can post more tomorrow. I need to get a good group shot of all our hosts….with another dear friend who’s visiting from the other side of the pond!

Thank you to all who are sending best wishes and prayers!

Ireland Retreat!

I belong to a ‘cyber’ Marianist Lay Community called Our Lady of the Round Table. The original members met online in May 2005, during the North American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS) online course on Marianist Community, facilitated by Carol Ramey. We felt a strong bond of community through our online discussions and wanted to build on the experience. I had been sharing my daily lectio prayer and reflection by email with a dear Benedictine friend, Sr. Grace Kowolski, OSB. We used the daily liturgical readings. The format was simple. We posted a line from the readings that would be our inspiration for the day. We shared briefly why these words spoke to us – what was God trying to say to ME? And we shared the prayer that was the result of our meditation. This worked very well for Grace and me. We wondered if this format would work for our new community. Well, almost five years later, we can say that it’s working rather well! J

Our community became more global over the years. We remained faithful to our daily practice, although we all share times of being a ‘lectio cheat’! These are the days when we are unable to post a prayer, yet are nourished, supported and inspired by the prayers of others. Our global membership and diverse time zones also means that prayers pop in to the computer throughout the day. We have had a window into different parts of the world as we have shared our local reality and culture. We have embraced the prayer needs of family and friends around the world, and have been blessed with many prayers answered. Although we meet online, we are truly a community.

Tomorrow I’m travelling to Ireland for our first OLRT retreat! Some of us have met before, but this will be the first time we will all be together. (Pati is unable to be with us, but we’re planning to have a Skype call on Wednesday.) It’s going to be a grand reunion!

Two very special people will be with us in spirit. Bro. Walter Oberster, SM was a founding member of OLRT. He died January 11, 2006. We were blessed to share his last days through his prayers. We felt his spirit with us when we decided to be an intentional Marianist Lay Community on February 2, 2006. And my dear friend and mentor, Sr. Grace, died on July 4, 2009. I still miss her daily, expecting her lectios to pop up in my email box. How I wish I could share this experience with her. She would be tickled by it! I know that the love and prayers of Walter and Grace will be with us. They will surely be smiling in that great communion of saints!

If I can, I’ll try to send some wee updates from Ireland.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations

vocationsMarianist Family resources for the World Day of Prayer for Vocations (April 25, 2010) are now available in English, Spanish,  French and Portuguese (on Spanish site) at  www.marianist.org.

We pray as one family, in union with the Church, for an increase in numbers of faith-filled and committed priests, religious sisters and brothers, and lay women and men throughout the world and within our own Marianist Family. And may our own vocations be blessed with renewed energy and hope-filled joy!

Visit to Neepawa!

David, Fr. George, Michael, Isabella

David, Fr. George, Michael, Isabella

David and I are enjoying a lovely spring weekend, made all the more enjoyable with a visit from Fr. George Cerniglia and Michael Chiuri. Fr. George (US Provincial Council – Religious Life) came to Winnipeg to visit Michael, an SM Aspirant, and our Marianist Brothers: Archbishop Raymond Roussin, Fr. Luis Melo, Fr. John Kratcher and Bro. Joe Andre. We were thrilled that a trip to Neepawa was on their itinerary. (Neepawa is 200 km away from Winnipeg – a two hour drive.) I’ve known George for many years both on the North American scene and from his years on the General Administration in Rome. We’ve stayed in touch through email, but our paths haven’t crossed in almost four years. As the four of us shared stories, news and life, we bounced back and forth from deep conversations to rib-busting laughter…..in true Marianist style!

As I sit here relishing our time together, I’m also thinking about the meaning of visits. Mary models a deep sign of love and friendship through her visitation to Elizabeth. Visiting requires taking time out of your routine. It requires effort, cost, and sacrifice – especially when traveling many miles. Today, we are blessed with many means of communication that keep us connected and help us to form bonds of friendship across the miles. These are valuable gifts, and we try to use them to the best of our ability. But, you can’t beat an actual face to face visit. I’m not sure who was happier in our Nairobi meeting, the hosts or the visitors. We all experienced the joy of giving and receiving hospitality. The joy of sharing lives, cultures, stories…..and laughter!

I hope that I can somehow translate this reflection into concrete action. As the MLC International Team, we don’t have the resources or the ability to do the visitations that our Sisters and Brothers of the FMI and SM do. I marvel at the miles they travel, and the experiences they share with us. We are unable to do the same, but we should perhaps explore ways to do more than we do.

News and updates April 2010

Dear friends,

Happy Easter to all! I have a new Marianist friend here in Canada. Michael Chiuri is an SM Aspirant and has just spent his first winter in Winnipeg while waiting for a visa to the USA. He will join other aspirants in Dayton to begin his novitiate. Michael is originally from Kenya, and has studied and worked in California. He has just spent his first winter in Winnipeg. We have all teased him about his true exile experience! But, surviving a long, cold winter makes you appreciate the warmth and new life of spring – our traditional Easter symbols. We are still waiting for the buds to appear, but the snow is gone and we are rejoicing in the promise of warm days ahead and the bursts of color to come!

The work of the International Organisation of Marianist Lay Communities continues to keep our leadership team busy. We are finalizing our financial reports for 2009. It has been a bit more difficult during the transition time between the old and new leadership teams. But we hope to have it completed soon. In Nairobi, the assembly agreed to work together to encourage all countries to give annual dues for the work of the IO-MLC. And we, as a team, are committed to producing a regular annual report. Once we have this first report completed, the following reports should be much easier. Thank you to Iñaki Barrio (past European Responsible) for his continued help with our finances!

Our Regional Responsibles -Félix, Isabel, Ernest and Susan – continue to work hard within their regions sharing news, making connections, and forming strong relationships with national responsibles and others in our Marianist family. There is much work to do, and much to learn in the first year of their term….and they are all doing a super job. :-)

Progress is being made slowly but steadily on our web site at www.clm-mlc.org. We want to first post the basic information on each of our countries. We also want to post more national news, resources, and links to projects. We need your help! Information can be sent to webmaster@clm-mlc.org. We have just posted the information for the CLM Columbia at http://www.clm-mlc.org/Columbia.html . Gracias Diana!

The World Council of the Marianist Family (WCMF) has started a new initiative this year for the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Responsibility for producing a reflection and prayer resource will rotate annually among our branches. The Society of Mary graciously agreed to produce the resources for this first year. Fr. Manuel Cortez was the author, and what a wonderful resource it is! The letter from the World Council explaining the initiative and the prayer resource can be found at www.clm-mlc.org on the home page for each language.

Work is also being done by the WCMF to produce resources for the Chaminade Year (beginning January 2011) to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Blessed Chaminade. Fr. André Fétis has been the moving force behind this work. A calendar of themes and resources for each month of the year is being finalized. We will soon be asking communities from each of our branches to produce the reflections and prayers for a specific month. Stay tuned!

There is lots of work, but the tasks are made lighter and more manageable by the prayerful support of our Marianist family. Thank you to all who sent warm and inspiring Easter greetings during this holy season. Your faith in our work gives us much energy. May the joy of the risen Jesus help us all to face our tasks with a radiant heart!

Easter Greetings

Happy Easter

Joyeuses Pâques

Deep within
death’s darkest despair
lies a simple promise…

I pray that Easter hope will inspire and guide our Marianist family. United in our mission with Mary, may we always reflect the joy and peace of our risen Lord.

Happy Easter to you, your families, and your communities.

Isabella Moyer
Marianist Lay Communities

    I have bought this adapter for my laser batteries charger (sku 02031) and it works fine.
    It has a super cheap price.

    None that really matters about the functionality of this product.
    It came with some scratches and no box, but who cares.. The DealExtreme paper label was the only sticky thing I had to remove and cleanup.
    Build quality is not that great, but you have to plug it, not bend it or play with it..

    Could come in a box/bag with the sticky label on it (not on the product).

    Really cheap price.

    This pen looks better than some of the $50 pens i've bought. It is VERY well balanced - almost perfectly centred. It's narrow and sleek and generally a lot nicer than i expected. The convenience of having both a pen and a stylus is very nice.

    The stylus is a little spongy and doesn't always register on my screen unless i push pretty hard. It also doesn't work well on an angle - you'll need to use it very close to 90 degrees.

    I wish it was a fine-point pen, but it's a standard medium ball-point pen.

    Buy one... or two! It looks better than a lot of pens on the market, and it has a capacitive stylus!

Clovis tweet for birders

By Ryn Gargulinski: CNJ staff writer

If anyone says Clovis is for the birds — they’re right. At least according to the 2005 Great Backyard Birdcount.

This eighth annual event racked up 35 species — and nearly 6,000 birds — for Clovis alone. The findings are based on area volunteers’ checklists compiled Feb. 18-21, the end of winter or “season of survival.” By far the most abundant bird in the area is the European starling, with a hefty tally of 3,621.

“These birds are very opportunistic,” said Tish McDaniel, Nature Conservancy Short-Grass Prairie-Project coordinator and U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist. “Starlings do well in all kinds of habitats and like what people are doing by adding trees, food and water sources.”

Starlings seem to like Clovis so much, in fact, that the New Mexican city with the second-highest amount of starlings was Albuquerque with a meager 255.

McDaniel said we will also see a lot of grackles, another opportunitistic — and downright murderous — species.

“They are very nasty,” said McDaniel. “They steal eggs out of nests … they steal foundlings….”

Clovis racked up 722 great-tailed grackles this year, beating out second-place Roswell’s 455.

Third on the Clovis bird count list was the Canada goose, with 369. Maxell National Wildlife Refuge and Albuquerque surpassed the Clovis Canada goose count, with 570 and 739, respectively.

McDaniel said the Clovis area is a great bird-watching zone due to nearby grasslands and its location along a migrating path.

“We are at the height of migration and may very well spy birds not native to the area — like crossbills, warblers and hawks,” McDaniel said. “We have everything from the plain sparrow to beautiful buntings.”

Birdwatcher Glenda Anspaugh, who lives three miles south of Clovis, was working in her pasture one day when she heard “this screeching noise.”

She looked up to see a migrating flock of long-billed curlews. “There must have been about 75 of those birds,” said Anspaugh, who herself had contributed to the Backyard Bird Count several years ago.

Anspaugh said she first took part in the Backyard Bird Count — for which there is no “magic” technique other than a keen eye — because no one was participating from the southeastern New Mexico area.

She was pleased to find out at least 12 checklists were submitted for Clovis in this year’s count.

“I keep reading how bird watching is a growing hobby,” Anspaugh said. “I do it just for the enjoyment of it, to see something new that you’ve never seen before. I wish more people would take time to appreciate the beauty around them.”

Concert mix of country, rock ‘n’ roll performances

Freedom New Mexico: Liliana Castillo Portales’ Will Banister started Friday’s set of acts with country music from his new album.

Liliana Castillo

Brian Hyland had more than 2,000 people on back up when he sang his 1960’s hit “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” Friday at the Clovis Music Festival.

Organizers said about 2,200 fans came out to see Portales native Will Banister and the Mulberry Band, Hyland, Bobby Richards’ Coasters and Bobby Vee.

The festival was started in 1987 by Vi Petty in honor of her husband Norman Petty’s recording accomplishments. The festival continues 23 years later as a celebration of Petty and Buddy Holly.

Banister started the night with country songs such as “Give Me One Minute” and “Turned Her On To Country” with drums played by Curry County Magistrate Judge Duane Castleberry.

Hyland turned the focus to rock ‘n’ roll from the 1950s and 1960s with “Gypsy Woman” and “Good Golly Miss Molly.”

Eastern New Mexico University student Ben Boese, 21, said the show was incredible.

“This is amazing, really,” the broadcast production major said. “The fact that these hits are 60 years old and the musicians are up there still giving 100 percent. They still have it, you know.”

Boese said he came for the classic rock ‘n’ roll.

“I’ve been a rock ‘n’ roll fan since my dad showed me ‘American Graffiti,’ basically,” he said.

Berb DuBois, 54, of Clovis said that some of the music is from his time and he was enjoying it.

“The festival is getting better and better all the time,” DuBois said.

DuBois, a parts manager at High Plains Harley-Davidson, said the local Harley Owners Group chapter is working security for the event. The store is also hosting a motorcycle rally in conjunction with the festival.

Jimmy and Novella Webb, both 70, of Clovis said they were given tickets from his children for Friday night’s lineup of performers.

“I was a fan of the Coasters when they first came out,” Jimmy Webb said. “So I’m enjoying them.”

Webb said he and his wife have always been music fans and couldn’t wait to hear Bobby Vee live.

The four-day festival continues Saturday with Kevin Montgomery and Johnny Rogers, The Originators of Rock and Roll featuring Johnny Rogers as Buddy Holly, Bobby Brooks as Little Richard, Darrel Croy as Jerry Lee Lewis and Donny Edwards as Elvis, backed by the Killer Vees at the Curry County Events Center.

Saudis to send 2 women to London Games

By STEPHEN WILSON | July 12, 2012 | 7:40 AM EDT

LONDON (AP) — The IOC says Saudi Arabia will send two female athletes to the London Olympics, ending the ultraconservative Muslim country's record of fielding only all-male teams at the games.

The International Olympic Committee says the athletes will compete in judo and track and field.

They are Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani in judo and 800-meter runner Sarah Attar.

IOC President Jacques Rogge says "this is very positive news" that means every national Olympic committee competing in London will be represented by women.

George Washington Resigning His Commission by John Trumbull. (Architect of the Capitol photo)

(CNSNews.com) - The federal government has now piled up more debt since Election Day 2008 than it did under all presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton, according to official debt numbers published by the U.S. Treasury.

When the polls opened on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, the total debt of the U.S. government stood at $10,556,177,748,045.21 (the number it had reached by the close of business on Nov. 3, 2008). As of the close of business on Friday, Nov. 2, 2012, the most recent day reported by the Treasury, the total debt of the U.S. government stood at $16,206,129,028,709.29.

That is a four-year increase of $5,649,951,280,664.08.

According to the Treasury, the total debt of the U.S. government last surpassed $5,649,951,280,664.08 on June 21, 2001—five months after George W. Bush succeeded Bill Clinton as president. During the two years leading up to that date, the debt had periodically moved above and below that level, according to the Treasury, but since rising from 5,641,023,159,870.17 on June 20, 2001 to 5,650,400,532,764.38 on June 21, 2001, the debt has never again dropped below $5,649,951,280,664.08.

Thus, the $5,649,951,280,664.08 in new debt accumulated since Americans started voting on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008 exceeds the total debt accumulated in the first 224 years after the United States declared independence from England on July 4, 1776. That includes all the debt accumulated during the terms of all of America presidents, starting from George Washington, whose first term began in 1789, and running through Bill Clinton, whose second term ended on Jan. 20, 2001.

The $5,649,951,280,664.08 in new debt piled up since Election Day 2008 also equals $43,119 for each of the 131,032,799 people who voted in that election.

Lady Tide fall to Toombs, Wayne

POSTED: November 28, 2012 10:58 a.m.

The Long County High School girls’ basketball team fell last week in its two opening games.
In their first game of the season, the Lady Tide dropped a 35-31 decision Nov. 17 to Toombs County in Lyons during a back-and-forth game.
On Saturday, the Lady Tide fell, 44-20, to Wayne County in Jesup.
“Our defense was not as much an issue in this game,” Lady Tide head coach Kala Hires said. “The girls knew their role. Wayne County is very experienced and very well-coached. Our team struggled with a lot of fundamentals in the game.”
The Lady Tide take on St. Vincent’s Academy at
6 p.m. Dec. 4 in Ludowici in a Region 2-AA contest.
m. Last year, the Saints (1-1) swept the series with Long County, winning the first game, 31-23, and the second game, 43-31.   The game will be important to both teams as it is an early Sub-Region 2B-AA contest.

Maria Mania!!!!!

CODE RED is proud to announce that a TV superstar will be the hostess for our new exclusive horror line! Former WWE superstar, 2009 Diva of the Year, Celebrity Apprentice contestant, Singing sensation, and April 2008 Playboy cover girl MARIA KANELLIS is back for more! Maria will host Code Red's MARIA'S B MOVIE MAYHEM, and the first round of her horror/exploitation DVD releases will street in September! Maria will bring you the gory horror cult classic MARDI GRAS MASSACRE, the Native American horror flick HAUNTED with Aldo Ray, and Double-bills of SCREAM / BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD and LOVE ME DEADLY / CURIOUS CASE OF THE CAMPUS CORPSE. Then, on 9 more releases, Maria will host many other exploitation films including NIGHT OF THE DEMON, VAMPIRE AT MIDNIGHT, CAGED MEN, VOODOO DOLLS/MADONNA: CASE OF BLOOD AMBITION, RIOT ON 42ND STREET/BAD GIRLS DORMITORY, TEENAGE HITCHHIKERS/TEENAGE TRAMP, and more! All will feature Maria introducing the film, and appearing again after the film is over. The films will all be uninterrupted and uncut. Some of the DVDs will feature extras, as well.

Maria is a great gal and she had a lot of fun hosting this upcoming DVD series. Many wrestling fans are also horror fans so hopefully this can turn many wrestling fans onto CODE RED product. Having one of the most popular former WWE divas hosting our films is truly an honor.

First Scorpion was doing this, and now Code Red. Oh my!

Sounds sweet. I want to pick up MGM & Haunted. I just hope that the introductions and after credits by Maria will be optional like Scorpion's.

I'm glad the border isn't distracting like Scorpion's, but reversible art would be nice too.

Can't wait to hear more about these releases! Sweet!

Matthew David said...

Best of luck with the new line, looks like a good time

Anonymous said...

Code Red shouldn't be 'proud to present', they should be 'ashamed to have ruined' the cover art. When Scorpion announced their 'Katarina's Nightmare Theater' the threads/blogs were full of complaints about their banner ruining the classic cover art. Luckily Scorpion offers reversible covers without the banner. I can only hope that Code Red will do the same. Here it is not only the banner but also the pictures of that lady that ruin the classic artwork. I was really looking forward to these releases but this new line is such a letdown and gives these DVDs a flair of dollar bin movies. These movies don't need T&A on the covers to attract buyers.

Anonymous said...

I'd heard a rumour that these discs will have double sided inlays and the option to navigate/view the films WITHOUT the intro/outro crap.

I sincerely hope so. I don't want some pneumatic bimbo who knows shit-all about horror making a complete fool of herself in some mock-pouty voice on my DVDs.

Sad, sad, saaaaaaaaaaad, that CR are resorting to such a cheap ploy. Get your finger out, get your films out when you say you will and leave the bums & tits out of it. Frankly I'd rather see a vintage trailer OR some public domain pre-feature educational short than some trollop with an IQ of 6 in skimpy animal print.

Yes they are, they post the same retarded kind of post since at least 4 years here and on every forum they can. Pathetic I know but basement loosers get their kick hidden since it's the only way they can...

Good luck with the collection Bill. You know already I will support your works and forgot the anonymous whiners they don't buy anyway so their opinion worth a big nothing in my book.

Like I said before I collect movie not cover, if I want an original poster I go to Ebay and buy it... Seem more logical to me than whining on every blog and forums.

Anonymous said...

Jimmy, you are a loud-mouthed fool. Maybe you should comment anonymously instead of hanging your ignorance out in public for all to see.

I for one have had NIGHTMARE on pre-order since the first day it was on Amazon - as I did with Madman & The Strangeness too.

Anonymous or not, I'd be honest with my particular opinion on CR's pie-in-the-sky promises, stupid ideas of Blu-Ray releasing, and lame bums & tits copy-cat branding... BUT I'm not going through the whole hog of getting a blog ID just to comment in one single place on the web.

My opinion is just as valid as yours AND I don't slag off other posters either - you wouldn't dare say it to my face I can tell you that for sure.

CR started with great intent, quickly over-reached itself, threw a complete childish paddy-fit about ceasing trading because the World was calling CR's bluff on 1-3yr long bullshit promises Nightmare, BBNM, Rituals et al, and is now trying to get back into everyone's good books with yet more outlandish promises and copy-cat ideas, 75% of which wont come off. Is it any wonder people are frustrated - CR, Bill, whoever he is has the credibility of a $9 note right now frankly, AND he's done it to himself by betraying and ignoring the most important people of all - CUSTOMERS and even more so POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS.

I don't have a problem with this, and I understand the need to maximize the potential return on your investment with these very obscure titles. She seemed like a cool girl too on The Apprentice. I'll always endorse Code Red.

All that said, some her photos on these DVD covers are absolutely ridiculous!

Anonymous said...

There is no sense in trying to win over new customers with these covers when you put off many of the old horror fans with these covers that have been supporting Code Red for such a long time.
All Bill has to do is offer reversible covers without these banners and photos and everyone would be happy.

Jimmy said...

Hey anonymous June 5, 2011 3:59 AM

If the hat fits you use it... Why would I care about what an anonymous coward think of me or what he wrote in the first place?

Of course I wouldn't say that in your face in real life... The reason isn't that I don't know personally anybody in real life retarted enough to whine about a dvd release as if it was the end of the world.

Anonymous said...

I'm happy that Code Red is releasing these movies UNCUT. I would also like the artwork to be reversible, but I would be happy with just their releases. Please make the introduction and after-introduction skippable. Maris is beautiful but sometimes I just want to get to the movie.

Dear Mr Malcontent,

FYI, the home-video and broadcast
television industry before that, have had a long-standing tradition of employing spokespeople, in strange attire, to act as hosts for B-horror and scifi films. And before you say it, NO, not all of these horror/scifi hosts had a connection to the horror and scifi film industry before they got their b-film-host gig. In the case of Maria, she's obviously a very good sport to get into those outfits, not to mention being
being extremely easy to look at...
So come on guys, give her a break
and try to have some fun, ok?
Otherwise she'll tell all of her
Playboy Magazine model friends not
to date film geeks, and you'll have to scratch one more unrealistic fantasy off your list.

I agree. I personally prefer simple Code Red - that's my "Mania"!!!

Anonymous said...

It's a shame that you guys feel that you have to resort to these types of lame gimmicks to move your product.
I'm a red-blooded American male and think Maria is a beautiful woman, but this cheapens the entire product.
Maybe I'm a "purist", but I have a nostalgic fondness for original poster/cover artwork and it makes Code Red look extremely desperate to sell their discs. It's almost as if you know it's bad, so you have to dress it up to make a buck.
To try and gain a cross-over audience is understandable, but I doubt that unless you've actually heard of these films, you probably won't be impressed with them just because you tart them up.
I think it's very lame and at this point, I woldn't put down my hard earned money when other companies are putting out retro product with the integrity that these "left of the mark" films deserve.
I like what Shout Factory has done with reversible covers, the special features and the special features they've included on their releases. They didnt feel the need to bookend the Corman films with a set of big breasts and tacky up the ALREADY great cover art.
With the economy the way it is, I'll have to pass and put my money towards a product I really like before plunking it down on gimmicky fare such as this.

So happy to finally see Mardi Gras Massacre on DVD, although please (!!!) offer a reversible cover, as the art is too phenomenal to alter.

By your logic, you guys might as well also say "Many NASCAR fans are also horror fans..." and put some beer guzzling redneck on the cover or "Many animal lovers are also horror fans...", then put a litter of puppies in the bottom corner. Just let the movies speak for themselves.

I would have passed on Nightmare if that skank would have been cheapening the cover.
THe negative comments regarding this lame marketing ploy far outweigh the positive, CR!

4305.13 Issuance of jeopardy assessment.

(A) If the tax commissioner finds that any permit holder, liable for tax under Chapter 4301., 4305., or 4307. of the Revised Code, is about to depart from the state, remove the permit holder's property from the state, conceal the permit holder's self or property, or do any other act tending to prejudice, obstruct, or render wholly or partially ineffectual proceedings to collect the tax, unless the proceedings are commenced without delay, or if the commissioner believes that the collection of the amount due from any permit holder will be jeopardized by delay, the commissioner may issue a jeopardy assessment against the permit holder for the amount of the tax, plus a penalty of up to thirty per cent. Upon issuance of a jeopardy assessment under this division, the total amount assessed shall immediately be due and payable unless security is provided pursuant to division (C) of this section. Any assessment issued under this section shall bear interest as prescribed by section 4305.131 of the Revised Code.

(B) The commissioner immediately shall file an entry with the clerk of the court of common pleas in the same manner and with the same effect as provided in section 4305.131 of the Revised Code. Notice of the jeopardy assessment shall be served on the permit holder assessed or the permit holder's legal representative, as provided in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code, within five days of the filing of the entry. The permit holder assessed may petition for reassessment within sixty days of receipt of the notice of jeopardy assessment in the same manner as provided in section 4305.131 of the Revised Code. Full or partial payment of the assessment shall not prejudice the commissioner's consideration of the merits of the assessment as contested by the petition for reassessment. Upon notification of the existence of the judgment filed pursuant to this division, any public official having control or custody of any funds or property of the person assessed immediately shall pay or deliver the funds or property to the commissioner as full or partial satisfaction of the jeopardy assessment. However, funds or property needed as evidence in criminal proceedings or that is expected to be forfeited pursuant to Chapter 2981. of the Revised Code need not be relinquished by the public official. Upon disposition of criminal and forfeiture proceedings, funds and property not needed as evidence and not forfeited shall be delivered to the commissioner.

(C) If the permit holder subject to a jeopardy assessment files a petition for reassessment and posts security satisfactory to the commissioner in an amount sufficient to satisfy the unpaid balance of the assessment, execution on the judgment shall be stayed pending disposition of the petition for reassessment and all appeals resulting from the petition. If the security is sufficient to satisfy the full amount of the assessment, the commissioner shall return any funds or property of the permit holder previously seized. Upon satisfaction of the assessment the commissioner shall order the security released and the judgment vacated.

(D) The commissioner may adopt rules providing for the imposition and remission of penalties added to assessments under this section.

Effective Date: 09-29-2000; 07-01-2007

Cyber-pharmacies and emerging concerns on marketing drugs Online

Scaria, Dr Vinod (2003) Cyber-pharmacies and emerging concerns on marketing drugs Online. [Journal (On-line/Unpaginated)]

Full text available as:

The booming e-commerce and a regulation-less environment online have led to the rise of a new generation of websites that market drugs and other products over the Internet. Some of these drugs are often herbal products or of dubious quality, often marketed with a mix of professional design and unverified/fraudulent claims. Several concerns have arisen from different corners and evidence of malpractice has emerged. But there is a lack of sufficient evidence confirming the concerns.

This image features a small boat, which Cuc referred to as a 'taxi', it is similar to the one Cuc initially escaped on. She was then transferred to a larger boat which took them from Vietnam. She escaped from Vietnam in May 1978, with her husband, and spent time in a refugee camp in Malaysia before gaining a refugee visa for Australia.

Marquette Golden Eagles v Florida Gators

Late Night Snacks: Marquette won’t be getting any tonight

Leave a comment

Games of the Night

Western Illinois 73, South Dakota 71: South Dakota was down by 12 at the half and never led during the game, but when Kansas State transfer Juevol Myles — who scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half — hit a three with seven seconds left, it tied the game at 71. But Ceola Clark, who led the Leathernecks with 20 points, answered at the other end with a teardrop in the lane as time expired. This was the first Summit League game for both teams.

Long Beach State 73, Loyola Marymount 70: Mike Caffey scored 15 points to lead four players in double figures as the 49ers used a late, 8-0 run to take a 67-62 lead.

Important Outcomes

No. 7 Florida 82, Marquette 49: Patric Young came off the bench. Kenny Boynton didn’t score until there were 16 minutes left in the game. And yet, the Gators were still able to utterly embarrass the Golden Eagles. This game was played in Gainesville, which definitely played a role in this outcome, but the bottom line is that as good as Florida looked, Marquette looked that bad. They didn’t move the ball offensively, they weren’t able to get penetration from the perimeter, and their big men were utterly overwhelmed by the trio of Young, Erik Muprhy and Will Yeguete.

Also worth noting, talented freshman Michael Frazier scored 17 points and finished by hitting 5-8 from three, which will hopefully get him going this season.

Notre Dame 64, No. 8 Kentucky 50: Kentucky simply wasn’t ready for what they ran into in Purcell Pavilion on Thursday night. The talented youngsters got a crash course on what life is like on the road in college basketball. Notre Dame was more experienced, more disciplined, and, as of right now, just flat out better than the Wildcats. And it showed.

Memphis 93, UT-Martin 65: Five days after being embarrassed in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, three days after the Athletic Director shut down media access to the team and one day after Tarik Black apparently walked out of a “boot camp” practice, Memphis finally played like the team everyone expected them to be coming into the season. Joe Jackson, who was benched out in the Bahamas, finished with 13 points, eight assists and just a single turnover. Shaq Goodwin had 17 points and 12 boards.

Tyreek Duren and Ramon Galloway, La Salle: Duren and Galloway finished with a combined 37 points on 13-20 shooting as the Explorers picked up a solid win at Rider.

D’Angelo Harrison, St. John’s: The Johnnies beat South Carolina by 24 points in the SEC/Big East Challenge, and Harrison led the way. He had 26 points, and is now averaging 21.9 points.

TJ Price, Western Kentucky: Price scored 30 points in WKU’s 65-54 win over Louisiana-Monroe.

Arsalan Kazemi, Oregon: Kazemi’s addition to the Ducks was thought to be a difference maker, giving Oregon a chance to compete in the Pac-12. He had eight points and seven boards in the win over UNLV and 15 boards in a close loss to Cincinnati. In a win over UT-San Antonio tonight, Kazemi had 20 points on 8-9 shooting, adding six boards, four assists, five steals and three blocks.

Marquette: Vander Blue was 8-14 from the floor and scored 20 points. No one else had as many as six points, and the rest of the team finished with 13 field goals and 29 points. Marquette lost 82-49 to No. 7 Florida.

Alex Poythress and Archie Goodwin: The two talented freshmen are supposed to be the ones that carry this Kentucky team. Poythress had two points in 23 minutes and Goodwin had two points on 1-7 shooting (but five assists). That won’t cut it.

Seton Hall’s late-game execution: Fuquan Edwin hit a three-pointer with 3:46 left in the game, which gave Seton Hall a 64-63 lead and erased a five point deficit. Seton Hall’s next five possessions? All turnovers. The Pirates finished with 27 in the game. And lost to LSU, 72-67.

Arizona lands first commitment in 2017 class

Arizona landed their first commitment in the Class of 2017 on Friday night as point guard Alex Barcello pledged to Sean Miller and the Wildcats.

Barcello is a 6-foot-2 point guard from Tempe who plays his high school ball for Corona del Sol. He committed to the Wildcats on an official visit to the Tucson campus.

Barcello is a borderline top 100 prospect who sits at No. 123 in the Rivals top 150. He’s known for his ability to shoot, and he’s more of a combo-guard — i.e. shoot-first — than a point guard at times, but he’s a nice pickup and projects as a solid four-year player for the Wildcats.

Virginia, Indiana, Stanford and Butler were the other four schools on Barcello’s list.

Duke lands first commitment in 2017 class

Leave a comment

Alex O’Connell knew exactly where he wanted to play his college ball, which is why, just two days after picking up an offer from Coach K and the Blue Devils, he became Duke’s first recruit in the Class of 2017.

O’Connell announced the on twitter on Friday afternoon:

O’Connell is a four-star prospect from Georgia that had a terrific summer, going from being a borderline top 75 prospect to a player that caught the interest of Duke, who, along with Kentucky, sit atop the college recruiting hierarchy. He’s an explosively athletic and lanky 6-foot-6 wing with three-point range on his jumper. He needs to add some weight and some strength — he’s listed as a crisp 175 pounds — but he has the tools, and the swagger, to develop into a very effective player in the ACC.

Is he a one-and-done prospect?

Probably not. In fact, since 2010, Duke has landed just two players that were rated lower than O’Connell: Antonio Vrankovic and Jack White. If you know who both of them are, you’re probably either Jon Scheyer or lying.

But what O’Connell is is a kid who put in the work to get better this past year and who has the skill set, the physical tools and work ethic to continue to improve. He may not be on Grayson Allen’s trajectory, but O’Connell has the makings of being an impact player for the Blue Devils for three or four years.

Shaka Smart lands contract extension at Texas

Shaka Smart has already landed himself a contract extension at Texas.

The school, according to the Austin American-Statesman, has given Shaka a one-year extension — through the 2022-23 season — and bumped his salary up to a cool $3 million, a raise of $100,000 annually.

Smart’s Longhorns went 20-13 last season and lost on a half court buzzer beater from Northern Iowa’s Paul Jespersen. It will be tough for Smart to match the success that he had last season, specifically because he lost senior point guard Isaiah Taylor to the professional ranks.

That said, the former VCU head man has been reeling in quite a bit of talent from the state of Texas — namely, Andrew Jones and Jarrett Allen — and is not all that far from turning the Longhorns back into a relevant member of the Big 12 title race.

Arizona and Texas headline Lone Star Shootout

Another marquee, early season event is on the books for the college basketball season as four potential tournament teams will be squaring off at the Toyota Center in Houston on Dec. 17th.

The highlight of the double-header, which has been dubbed the Lone Star Shootout, will probably end up being Arizona vs. Texas A&M. The Wildcats are a Pac-12 contender and a borderline top 10 team as we enter the season, and while the Aggies will have work to do replacing the seniors they lost off of last season’s roster, they’re a borderline top 25 team.

The other matchup will feature a pair of former Southwest Conference rivals facing off in Texas and Arkansas. Texas will be talented but young while Arkansas may actually have the best player on the floor in Moses Kingsley. What will make this matchup interesting is that both Mike Anderson and Shaka Smart are known for being coaches that prefer a full court pressing system.

“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to play in front of our fans at the Toyota Center in Houston,” Texas head coach Shaka Smart said in a statement. “It is one of the most important areas in this state as it relates to our recruiting and fan base.

Five-star 2017 guard Lonnie Walker cuts list to five schools

Five-star shooting guard Lonnie Walker is coming off of a very good summer as he trimmed his list to five schools on Thursday night.

The 6-foot-4 native of Reading, Pennsylvania is still considering Arizona, Kentucky, Miami, Syracuse and Villanova, he announced on Twitter.

Regarded as the No. 26 overall prospect in the Class of 2017, Walker played with Team Final in the Nike EYBL this spring and summer as he averaged 16.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Walker shot 45 percent from the field, 39 percent from three-point range and 72 percent from the free-throw line.

An efficient scorer who is learning to drive with both hands, Walker is very talented and the type of guard who might also be able to handle a bit as well.

United States U16 team advances to FIBA Americas gold medal game

Entering the FIBA Americas U16 Championships the United States was expected to dominate, and to this point in the competition that’s been the case. Saturday night Don Showalter’s team advanced to the gold medal game, beating host Argentina by the final score of 119-76 in Bahia Blanca.

The Americans were balanced offensively, with 2018 guard Tre Jones and 2017 guard Markus Howard leading seven players in double figures with 19 points apiece. Also reaching double figure were 2018 forward Jordan Brown (17 points), 2017 guard Gary Trent Jr. (15), 2017 forward Jarred Vanderbilt (15), 2017 forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (12) and 2017 forward Kevin Knox II (12).

As a team the United States shot 50 percent from the field, and against a smaller Argentine squad scored 60 points in the paint. The United States finished the first quarter with a 33-17 lead and removed any doubt regarding the outcome in the second stanza, outscoring Argentina 27-9.

Next up for the United States is Canada, which has also won each of its games by comfortable margins. Canada blew out the Dominican Republic 95-49 in the first semifinal, with 2018 forward Simi Shittu leading five double-digit scorers with 19 points.

2017 point guard verbally commits to Arizona State

Leave a comment

Having done a good job of mining the junior college ranks in his most recent recruiting classes, Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek got a head start on the Class of 2017 on Wednesday night. According to Chris Karpman of, 2017 point guard Markus Howard has verbally committed to attend Arizona State.

The 5-foot-10 Howard put together a very good season at Perry High School in Gilbert, Arizona last year, averaging 23 points per game on a team that included his older brother Jordan. For his efforts Markus was named Boys Basketball Player of the Year by the East Valley Tribune, and Perry head coach Joe Babinski was effusive in his praise of Howard as a competitor in a story written in April.

“Throw anything at him and he’ll compete,” Babinski said. “He’s the best competitor I’ve been around. He just does whatever circumstance happens and what is thrown at him. For a young kid that’s really special. Most kids don’t until they’re juniors or seniors in high school, and even then many don’t. He’s never intimidated by the moment. He just ignores everything else. If I knew how I’d have five or six state championship rings.”

Howard’s ability to score from the point guard position resulted in the attention being paid to him on the recruiting trail and it likely would have increased in time, but he’s made the early decision to remain close to home for college. But with the opportunity to step onto a college campus still being three years away a lot can change for both the player and the school he’s chosen to attend.

With that being the case, it’s difficult to truly forecast who Howard will be competing with for playing time come 2017. But if Howard can build on what was a very good freshman season, Arizona State will have gotten its 2017 recruiting off to a solid start.

Good morning crafty-desk perusing folks!  I am doing my best to join in with What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and actually get around to a few more than I usually do.  You can link up too - find the information at Stamping Ground.

You might think that you've seen this pic before...
Yes you have, its the same as it was 3-4 weeks ago and we are still in the same boat except that we have lost our forever house and so we are looking again as well as trying to sell ours - its a horrid frustrating process but there we go.

I have been crafting in between tidying my desk though.  This was a layout I did for a recent challenge that involved using white or black as the main colours, using stamping or doodling and using ribbon or washi.
Its hard to believe my two eldest nieces ever looked like this!  The cutie on the left is now whipping my behind in the gym - who would have thought it at the time!  There's only 18 months between them so they really are #bff.
I used some embossing paste for the first time to give something interesting to the white background and I really liked the way it turned out.  Although its my often used messy stack style, the colour scheme is more unusual for me but I'm pleased with the end result.

I'm looking forward to a day of cropping on Saturday too - goodness knows I need it!

Bye for now

Crocodile Rock

Although I haven't been able to use my studio this week (for fear of messing things up and then someone coming to view the house!), I have been able to craft at a crop and at a friend's house.  I borrowed one of Paula's magazine clippings for inspiration and created this layout using Echo Park's This and That Charming (sorry, not sure which magazine!)
The photo of my boy is blurred - I'm no photographer and so capturing excited toddlers on a dull day is beyond me!  I don't mind though - its an action shot ;-)
It marked quite a big moment for me back then.  I finally felt like I was doing the normal stuff that mums did with their children and actually achieving some of the things I thought parenting was all about.  I suffered with post natal depression during his first year and only started to feel a bit normal (whatever that is) by the time he was 2.
I think he must have been about 2 and a half in this photo.  We spent hours covering the egg box with paper and then painting it and putting it together.  He was so pleased with his crocodile creation and spent ages whizzing it around and taking it for a walk.  I was so proud of him too.  Actually... I was proud of us.

Bye for now

Wednesday, 10 September 2014

It is with regret that I show you my desk this week - it is almost embarrassingly pristine.  I say almost because I do have good reason for it to be untouched and that was that we were about to have a house viewing.  This people, is as good as my room gets!
I have done some crafting this week though at the lovely Artful Angels crop.  I started to unpack after the viewing so you can see bits of the three layouts I was working on using Echo Park.  I normally get a lot more done than this but I was viewing another house and the children came to visit for lunch and before you know it the day has gone!
I can't wait till the next one because I am fearful of getting my room messed up again.  Did I mention how much I hate this process!!!

I shall content myself with living vicariously through other people's busy spaces over Julia's for this week's What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Bye for now

Wednesday, 3 September 2014

Its been a while since I joined in with WOYWW dear readers but this Wednesday marks a very important part of our year - the children go back to school today!  I have such plans!!  Some of my plans for this week involve getting in my studio and making some stuff - woop woop!  Some of my plans involve getting my house back into some sort of order so that we are ready for house viewings at the weekend.  Our house sale fell through recently after waiting since April so we have to start all over again - meh.
So what is on my table of craft after such a long time?  Well...  Top left is my Learn Something New Everyday book that I am determined to put something in this year.  Its a class run by Shimelle every September and I made this book 3 years ago and never put anything in it.  2 years ago I changed the date on the front to start again and never put anything in it.  Last year I didn't even try.  I am keeping a record this year and trying to take daily photos so hopefully something will go in there at some point.

In the centre of the table I have some very exciting things!!  I was picked as a winner in a Cosmo Cricket giveaway on Facebook and within about 4 days I had a parcel arrive from America!  Inside was a wall sconce, 4 matching mason jar lids (I need wide necked jars now!), a sweet little pink hanger with clips on and a pad of 12x12 vellum!  If you know where I can get the jars from then please do let me know (in the UK) because I would love them to go in my new studio, if / when we move!

Right, on with the cleaning.  6 weeks of summer holidays and I don't even recognise my house anymore!  Don't forget to link up with Julia if you want to join in with the desk hop :-)

Bye for now

Its just me and my girl here today because the boys have gone camping so we are doing our nails and getting our craft on and watching lots of girly films :-)

Miss Bella is very girly, and I don't know where she gets it from.  She loves having her face painted too.  This double layout was about a trip to Beaulieu near Halloween a couple of years ago.
She sat sooo still and the finished result was amazing.  How can a tiger look so cute??!
I used lots of orange and harvest type colours to reflect the time of year as well as the colours in the face paints.  I also used lots of textures with buttons, felt leaves, sheer ribbon and that gorgeous canvas tag.
I think I made this layout at a Christmas retreat a couple of years ago and just never got around to sharing it on the blog.  I've still got others from around the same time that got missed and because things have been so hectic here with summer holidays and house sales falling through etc (don't ask) my poor old craft room hasn't seen much actual crafting!
This little girl is full of attitude and sass and definitely has some very tiger like qualities.  Me and my little tiger cub are going to do a lot of snuggling up together this afternoon.
What have you got planned for this weekend?  For some of you it might be last weekend before the children go back to school - is that a good or a bad thing? This summer has been a mix of good and bad but I am looking forward to getting back to some sort of routine and definitely looking forward to getting back to some regular blogging!

S J Crafts August Challenge - a Teal Album

You know when you get an idea in your head and it is such a great idea that you just HAVE to do it?  But then you realise the logistics of completing the task in time alongside other last minute projects, and of course normal daily life, are not actually that favourable... but you decide to do it anyway?  Yep, that happened here!  I wanted to make something special for Louis's teacher because she really "got him" and he has really blossomed in her care.  I wanted to say a bigger thank you to her than my normal end of year projects so I decided to make her an album that she could use for her honeymoon photos and ephemera, or even her favourite moments from her wedding, which I knew to have a teal colour scheme.  Sarah's S J Crafts challenge for August was to make something holiday / travel related and to use something old and something new.  So with a week to go before the end of term I set about it..... ahem.....

I used an Ikea album with a snowflake on the front but I don't think its obviously a Christmas album.  I added some bling and ribbon and a butterfly because I used butterflies through the album too.  The chipboard butterfly shape that I used here is about 4 years old... gulp!
I secured some ribbon inside the covers concealed by patterned paper in order to hold the book closed.
Management pointed out that she might not know what to do with the book so I added this little note into a pocket for the inside front cover.  Basically it says "This book is for YOUR story" and explains that she should cover up / tear out anything she wants to so that they can display and record their memories in any way they would like to remember their special time.  Apparently this made the teacher cry because she was so touched!
I wanted something really special for the first page so I used the last scrap of my precious rose ribbon which was a perfect match for her teal colour scheme.
I used papers from the last 5 years and from various manufacturers and collections - it felt good to make a dent in my stash!  Very old alongside very new here!
I tried to echo the papers across each double page and used similar styles throughout the album for continuity as well as using similar gems and shapes and the butterfly motif.
I also added some Project Life cards for a bit of variety and to give her somewhere to add her journalling. These are the newest things that I used because I treated myself to the Jade kit a few weeks ago.   Please excuse the blob on the camera lens - it is not something on the book!!
I also created a few pages without patterned paper, just by stamping all over the page to give her lots of room to add her own touches and photos etc.
These stamps are all from Hero Arts - Stamp Your Story and are a perfect choice for layering and repeating.  I made sure to spread these pages throughout the album for variety.
Here is another "something new" from the S J Crafts Challenge - a new stencil!  The spotty one is new (a couple of days!) and the floral one is old (about 3 years and never been out of the packet...)
The pages in this album are approx 9x9 which is an awkward size when you are trying to do double pages with one piece of 12x12!  This page design using thirds worked really well to get the most out of the papers.
I also spread some bunting throughout the album.  I think it's a really pretty addition especially when it's popped up with foam tape for dimension.
I love this printed leaf effect stamp from the Hero Arts set.
I made a couple of pages with pockets for more journalling / additional photos / leaflets and memorabilia etc.  You can also see the border punch that I used throughout the album for continuity.
For this page I used Distress Ink (Broken China) dabbed through a doily and then used the doily on the facing page.  The book is pre-bound so you don't get a second chance to get things right but it is probably my least favourite layout.
Here is an example of the "thirds" page design flipped on its side.  I think this teal paper from LilyBee's Memorandum is my favourite pattern in the entire album.
This is the centre of the album using up lots of scraps for the banner across the top.  The envelopes can be used for holding whatever, but they also create another pocket behind them too.
When I've done photo-less albums before, I've put in blank photo mounts for people to add their standard sized photos in specific places.  These days though with the ability to take photos on phones, create collages and crop and play around more, there needs to be more flexibility with photo sizes.
With that in mind, I deliberately kept this album free of specific photo spots so that they can add in whatever they want, wherever they want - it is their album for their story after all.
More banners and butterflies and doilies.
More pockets using some PL cards, that border punch, some grey spotted washi tape to reinforce the edges.  Those spiral paper clips were a random purchase from a supermarket!  It's worth keeping your eyes open in all sorts of places for fab touches these days.
Another sponged page and another envelope for bits and bobs.
More bunting - perfect for any sort of celebration I think!
I inked all the edges with the Broken China Distress Ink and I love the way it brings all the pieces together.
It also helps to link the stamped pages to the ones that used patterned papers by adding another element of continuity.
I love these little fold over cards from Project Life - not something I would use on one of my normal pages probably but they are ideal here.
I would love to see this book when it is finished and full of special moments.  I really hope they enjoy looking back on it in years to come and also enjoy the process of creating a memory book of their own special story.
Finally the back pages with a spot for summing up and another little envelope full of labels and cards for them to add in her own time when and where she / they like.
So now its over to you to make something holiday or travel related for the challenge at S J Crafts!  Because it is the summer holidays you have until September 6th to enter your project.

I'm just back from holidays myself and looking forward to getting some of our wonderful memories scrapped.  I shall be around to lots of blogs to say hi again really soon.

Bye for now

Wednesday, 23 July 2014

I said a couple of weeks ago that you should never apologise for the mess on your desk - its an artistic space and the left over chaos is evidence of enjoying the creative process.  It is art sediment.  Having said that, I am a little bit in a state of hiding my face about my studio this week because it is chaos rather than just piles.  In my defence I was making several things for teachers for the end of term and I got very carried away with one of them...

Lets take a tour shall we?  The big black box and assorted jewelry items strewn about is waiting to be put away after I finished several bag charms for teacher presents (you can see those further down the post).  Most of the pink stuff was used for the cards on the corner of the desk there (also further down this post).  The Mod Podge and teal and turquoise items scattered about were for the thing that I got carried away on - which I will be sharing in a post in a few days (but you can see a sneak of at the end of this post).  In fact you might not be able to see the teal stuff but it is there, underneath a load of other stuff!
All the embellishments that I hadn't "filed" after the last tidying session is still in my "needs putting away" corner and has been joined by everything that I initially got out for my teal project and then discarded in the second flick through - does anyone else do that?  Pull loads of stuff out and then go through it again to pare it down once you've explored all your options?
And here we have proof that all this detritus did end up in something less abstract than a pile of assorted colour schemes!  Three bag charms for teachers and teaching assistants.
Batch cards - 2 for teachers...
... and 4 for teaching assistants.
And this little sneak of the teal project for a very special teacher.
This time next week I will hopefully be sitting by a pool in Spain so no What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday from me for a couple of weeks.  Now if someone could just pop in and tidy up my studio while I'm gone that would lovely.  Thanks awfully.

Bye for now

NX9 CAM Interactive Cut Regions

on 01-14-2014 06:00 AM

Interactive Cut Region management is a new tool added to NX9 to help CAM users easily segregate “steep” from “non-steep” areas*.  This new capability means that the overall NC programming process is speeded up while at the same time reducing the number of screen clicks/picking of faces.

*Measurement of “steep” and “non-steep” areas are based on the relative angle of a surface to the tool axis as specified in the operation.  The actual angle is selected by the user, but the system default is 65° - any part of a face that is steeper than that is classified as “steep” and any part of a face that is less is “non-steep”.

There is more to this functionality than just separating steep from non-steep.  You can also select the cut pattern to be used for a region, which means that multiple cut patterns can exist in the same operation.  You can also choose the order of cut – which region should be cut first, and which one last. You can also divide a region by a plane – this allows differential machining for each sub-region created.  You can also defer a region – save it for machining by a later operation.

Once previewed, NX can display collisions where the holder touches the geometry.  This is useful for determining the proper tool length OR deferring a region for a later operation with a longer cutting tool.  Additionally, the auto-created regions can be further divided by the user.  I’ll show an example of that in the video.  Similarly, two adjacent regions can be merged.

What future enhancements would you like to see?  Should there be a middle ground between steep and non-steep (maybe called “just right”)?  Leave your suggestion in the comments area below.

Here a New story that you may like:Teaming With Friends In Gaming & Doing Activities Together.

[ Edited ]
0 replies 215 views Edited Jul 18, 2012

My friends and i made ourselves great teams when it comes around In Gaming like many online games. Each matches we face we win all The Time. we completed trophies games making us winners and Stronger In our strength of mind power. In Black ops zombies we Always stick Together because were buddies and buddies never leave On there Side just like the army never leave your soldier behind in Combat. In Black ops Zombies we made it to round 900 it a long Round but we Still Surviving during rounds it get roughly but we died And we have The highest score in black ops zombies and won a Trophy. We like Team gaming because that our thing that we always Do stick together We making ourselves like champions of teams in Playstation Network.black ops zombies

The reason we make ourselves great teams online games because they bought ps3 to begin there gaming experience in life and gaming. When my friends saw the ps3 coming out they search in the Internet of if music and photos and more of stuff you can put on the ps3 and they were excited that the ps3 system have many features that they can do. They told me this and I said " yes they do have Great features you can download music,videos,movies,and games too. They went to GameStop and bought themselves ps3 and they sign in on playstation network.playstation

The first time I meet them online the first games that we play online and is battlefield 1943 is a great game to start with trophies we team up as Japan's army and we have to fight against the marine corps fighting each out other to capture the island Iwo Jima it was a hardcore battle but won our first round together it was a epic battle fighting against each other in our first combat gaming we got ranked to general we fought 9 rounds in the row until we completed the battlefield 1943 trophies the trophies was easy but the battle was harder then I thought that our first time beat the game and the trophies.battlefield 1943

We also do activities together like going fishing in Miami beach with my friends speed boat every sunday we caught ourselves a big fish in Miami the water was super deep I almost fell of the boat I was so scared that the shark jaws will kill me but still went fishing all day in Sunday it was pretty fun that day untill my friends won a Lamborghini the white ones I said OMG !! You won a Lamborghini he won the Lamborghini in a contest in bayside the contest is he has to shoot basketball in the hoop 30 shots in 7 min he shoots like micheal Jordan he made 30 shots under in 3 mins and won the Lamborghini it was amazing that he made 30 shots he said he practices basketball every day.boatlamborghinifish

This is my friends friend when he caught that fish I wasn't there because I was sick but i was fishing on that speed boat.we always do lots of things at my house and outside like playing dodgeball,basketball on courts waterballons fights,and we usually play video games in my house we love ps3 because without ps3 life will be unfun for us that why ps3 is the best for me because I take care the ps3 like a son I always clean it every week to keep the ps3 healthy and clean what everyone do take a bath and your clean. I follow directions on the ps3 i dont look at spammers or hacker there my viruses and for you who ever say something to you wrong that makes you follow what they say don't or you be screwed I never like hackers or spammers there are the enemy of my ps3 ones they hacked call of duty 4 and got my stats to insane mode but my weapons are ok but I don't like them when they hack the games. Instead we play little big planet it a fun game that takes your mind to the environment of creativity we play story modes it hard but we will try to get 100% on mission to get all items in the story we also create levels that you will love my friends helped me create levels to get the job done it like making a building instead of blueprints but use your mind and think what you going to build.little big planet

we watch movies on Monday's we watch all movies in the ps3 system we watch new ones through the awesome movies we watch terminator movies,fast five,some comedy movies I can't remember which ones but there funny even at night time we watch 3Ds movies too it was pretty cool what Sony made for us to see the movie in 3D it was a genius what they made it so special that why my friends bought the ps3 for enjoyment and my friends wanted to say hi to you and they say that you were cool in this community web site and they will remember this story when it gets posted in the spotlight they are excited.fast fiveterminator21st

In call of duty games we like challenging each other like quick scoping,and more the reason we do this is like a training camp in private match to see what skills we have and we also teach players how to survive in combat in call of duty games without dying how to stay in the grass without getting seen by the enemy and today in call of duty 4 we teaching them for sniper class which body parts is the weakness for all types of sniper rifles teaching and learning in games can be education but I call it playstation education because it like school but it teach you any ways how to do this and that so you can remember what you learned durning your time in playstation. Playstaion home get any better than my game of what I have playstation home is the greatest public games that you can ever have in your playstation thanks to Sony entertainment that now we have something that we can meet each other and chat with friends and other people around the world wide across country to country that why my friends and I love Sony and game developers they made the ps3 so special in our life that they made our lives fun again. When I look around playstation home it was cool when the beta been came out I started to get items and clothing for my avatar and even much more items I also like the playstation home developers and the mall developers too they is so into playstation home that they starting now making new items my friends started collecting items too to get started right now we have lots of items we love playstation home and the games of the ps3.homelWdsuit

‘Disaster’ if for-profit colleges go under?

Cutting federal loans to for-profit college students will create a “disaster” for lower-income, higher-risk students who need the flexibility the for-profit sector provides. So argues Donald E Graham, chairman of the Washington Post Co., which owns Kaplan University.

Most growth in student capacity over the past decade has come from for-profit, private institutions like Kaplan and the University of Phoenix, Graham writes. The Education Department’s proposed “gainful employment” regulations “would link programs’ access to federal student aid to the loan-repayment rates of graduates and their debt-to-income ratio,” rather than looking at the quality of education.

For-profit colleges cost the taxpayers less than public universities, which are subsidized heavily with public funds, and pay taxes on their profits, Graham points out.

In response to charges of aggressive recruiting, Kaplan now lets new students  “take four to five weeks of for-credit courses and walk away with no tuition due and no debt incurred if they don’t like any aspect of the program.”

It’s true that poor students need to borrow more and are more likely to default on their loans. That is true whether they attend traditional or for-profit colleges. If the proposed regulations were to apply to traditional colleges, many that serve predominantly poor students would have to shut.

. . . Private-sector schools educate 12% of all higher-education students, but 25% of African-American students, 24% of Hispanic students and 28% of students whose parents did not complete high school. These students tend to be older, poorer and more likely to have kids and jobs.

At Kaplan, “higher-risk students graduate at almost twice the rate — 32% versus 17% — at which demographically comparable students graduate from all U.S. four-year institutions of higher education,” Graham writes.

For-profit schools have an incentive to innovate, writes Michael Platt, chairman of Ad Venture Interactive, on Career College Central.

If universities were profit-driven, maybe they would stop misleading students with noted professors who then rarely step into a classroom. . . . Maybe they wouldn’t have one placement advisor for every 2,000 – 5,000 students. Maybe they would warn students who pay $80,000 for their education that their starting salary is likely to be well below DOE-proposed GE metrics.

. . . If community colleges were profit-driven, maybe they would grow in capacity instead of settling for 1-2 year waiting lists. Maybe they would attempt to address their barely double-digit graduation rates. Maybe they offer REAL placement assistance for their students. Maybe they would have enough student services staff to serve students.

The threat of regulation has depressed enrollment and stock values in the for-profit sector. Strayer Education’s enrollment fell by 20 percent in a year, sending its stock tumbling.

Apollo Group, which owns the University of Phoenix, sparked a for-profit college rally when it reported quarterly results that were higher than analysts estimated. An index of 13 for- profit colleges gained 5.7 percent.

However, the company also announced a whopping 42 percent decline in new enrollments from the same quarter last year. University of Phoenix now requires new students to take a free three-week orientation course before enrolling.

The for-profit sector could rebound in 2011, some analysts predict. Republican control of Congress may block or soften proposed “gainful employment” regulations.

The Village Voice has retracted a story critical of for-profit colleges, saying the reporter made up sources and quotes.

Alumnae In Science

Janna Levin '88

“I came to science late,” says astrophysicist, writer, and Barnard associate professor Janna Levin ’88. She had been studying philosophy when she discovered a passion for a more tangible field of study. “It was the universality of math that was appealing,” she says. “Math was still true, and that was fascinating.” Today, Levin splits her time among a range of passions. She is a professor of physics and astronomy, a scientist studying black holes, an award-winning author of two books, including the novel A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, and a mother. She enjoys them all. “We’re too accustomed to having small identities,” she says, noting that her writing and her research never compete with each other except in terms of hours in the day. “They are very different experiences,” she affirms. This spring, Levin will be on sabbatical at the California Institute of Technology, continuing to study what happens when black holes collide, and recording the sounds the universe makes when space starts to fumble and vibrate.

Elnaz Menhaji-Klotz '02

Elnaz Menhaji-Klotz doesn’t have the kind of career that can be left at the office—or the lab. Her role as a principal scientist at Pfizer Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., means she works long hours with biologists and researchers to create compounds that could end up as new medicines to treat cardiovascular and metabolic disorders such as heart disease and diabetes. The compounds that prove successful in initial tests go on to the clinical-trial phase. At Barnard, Menhaji-Klotz was drawn to organic chemistry, which she continued to study at Yale, earning a PhD in the field. “It’s all about concepts,” she says. “I didn’t feel like I had to memorize things. We faced problems like, ‘Here’s a molecule. How do you make this?’ That’s what I do now.” Today she applies those concepts to research that’s both challenging and fulfilling. “The potential rewards are so huge,” Menhaji-Klotz says. “I love it. This work can have such a great impact on human lives.”

Bonnie Fleming '93

Bonnie Tamminga Fleming sees her work as fundamental: “Particle physicists work to break the world down into the smallest building blocks.” After graduating from Barnard, Fleming spent three years as a beam operator on a particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y. “The concept of smashing particles open to learn more about the universe attracted me to particle physics,” she says. Fleming returned to Columbia University for her PhD, and now heads an experimental-research group at Yale University focusing on high-energy neutrino physics. Fleming partners with Fermilab outside Chicago, where she works on experiments that often involve hundreds of scientists from institutions around the world over the course of many years. “In all of these experiments, we’re working to discover new properties of neutrinos and understand what they can tell us about the universe,” she says.

Archna Patel '03

Archna Patel is only half joking when she says that watching CSI led her to a career as a DNA analyst. As a student, she loved law but not the prospect of life in a courtroom. She also relished studying chemistry, and understanding how explosions occur from the simplest actions; the tiny details capable of producing such large consequences fascinated Patel. “On CSI, they found connections between the smallest of things, and that solved the crimes.” Patel now works as a criminalist in California’s state department of justice in the San Francisco area, where she maintains a database of DNA samples. “You’re given only a number of a sample” without any accompanying identifying information, she says of the cases that come into her lab. Her job is to look for DNA matches. “[Ultimately] when you find out the details of a specific case you’ve worked on, say, the murder of a child, you feel you’ve helped bring justice and closure to that family.”

Kaitlin Kratter '05

“When I got to college, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do,” says astrophysicist Kaitlin Kratter. But during her first year at Barnard, she took two science courses. Then she heard about a summer research internship at the American Museum of Natural History. She got the internship—and it changed her career trajectory forever. Kratter spent two summers working at the museum. She completed her senior thesis project there, modeling the sensitivity of an instrument that images planets around distant stars; the device was developed by astrophysicist and American Museum of Natural History curator Ben Oppenheimer. Her early research was illuminating. “At the museum, I really got a sense of what a career in astrophysics would look like,” she says. Now a Hubble Fellow at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Kratter researches binary-star systems and studies what happens to a planet’s orbit when it circles two stars. Her work made headlines last summer when she co-authored an analysis on the irregular orbits of Pluto’s newly discovered moons.

Susan Schwartz-Giblin ’59 & Marian Meyers ’59

Susan Schwartz-Giblin planned to teach high-school science after graduation. Her mentor, biology professor Ingrith Deyrup, had another idea. “You’re going to graduate school,” Deyrup told her, and helped make it happen. Schwartz-Giblin earned a PhD in physiology from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She built a distinguished career as a researcher and professor, serving for 11 years as dean at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. Schwartz-Giblin views mentorship as a most important responsibility. She counsels career-minded women: You don’t have to choose between work and family. “There is no right time to have children—you make time. If the only women who had children were those with free time, it wouldn’t be a very interesting world.”

“When I was 12, I knew that I wanted to be a scientist,” says Marian Bennett Meyers, co-president of her class with Schwartz-Giblin. Her high-school chemistry teacher let her spend hours in the school’s lab each week. When she entered Barnard, she’d already decided to pursue a career in chemistry. “Barnard taught women scientists, and invested in labs, teachers, and equipment at a time when women were not readily accepted as scientists,” she says. With a PhD in biochemistry from Cornell, Meyers joined a lab at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, researching cancer-drug resistance. She discovered sorcin, a previously unknown calcium- binding protein, and subsequently discovered that sorcin also plays a role in cardiac function. “In the future, this information may help improve the treatment of heart disease and increase our knowledge of calcium’s function in cell biology,” Meyers says.

Active volunteers on behalf of Barnard, both Schwartz-Giblin and Meyers have joined forces to underscore the need for science majors by encouraging alumnae support for scholarships.

Cheyenne And The Ham

Take ole yaller for a walk through old town and most of the time nothing much happens. She and I get along well enough I don't even bother with a leash in areas of low traffic. Here she is on Fleming in front of the library yesterday evening.

Then she veered rapidly off course. One minute she was dragging her elderly ass at the end of a long meandering walk, the next minute she was awake alert and a puppy. The dude in the orange made the mistake of opening the trunk of his Toyota just as the nose driven Yellow Lab strolled by. He had a nice big ham badly wrapped under tin foil. She knew. "Nice dog," he remarked appreciatively at the imploring face.

He had no mercy, giggling insanely he took off across the street to his dinner party. He needs to go to the pound and get a dog with his disposition. I am hopeless because faced with her big brown eyes I yield every time. She gets what she wants. Had she a little finger I'd be wrapped around it.

Bryce said...

"Had she a little finger I'd be wrapped around it."

And how do you know she hasn't???

Conchscooter said...

You have a point.
