I have been bitten by the
Boho Bag Bug.
I went to the local thrift shops
looking for a bag that I liked.
I had intentions of taking the
bag apart, using that for
a pattern. None of the bags
I found,
were really what I wanted.
I dug through my stash of old
patterns. Finding one for a purse
I had made back in the 70's.
I liked the shape,
but it needed to be bigger.
Using the pattern as a guideline, I
did a redesign drawing my
own pattern.
While I was at the thrift store I found this
lovely yellow 100% wool blanket.
$2.00...I could not pay for it, fast enough!
I brought it home and after several
washings in HOT water, it felted nicely.
I then tried out the pattern I had created.
Next, I found this piece of vintage
needlework in my stash and made
a small lunch bag.
I then got busy on the Boho Bags.
I love the feel of the cut velvet and the
upholstery weight chenille back.
Remembering the detail of, you should
look good when leaving a room I added
a touch of stitching to the back pocket.
This bag is slightly smaller and
has wonderful fabrics as well as a
removable flower tassel on the front.
The next is my favorite. I love the
subtle differences in the creamy
shades of fabric. Those subtle
differences, also make it difficult
to photograph.
Close-up of front details.
Fringy back pocket too!
The purses are lined with pockets
a magnetic closure.
I have a craft show coming up in
6 weeks.
I will be in my sewing room,
if you miss me!
Love to all,

A compelling video and info graphic provide insight into The Salvation Army's role in the months following the September 11 attacks.
Our relief effort called "Compassion Under Fire," allowed us to control the feeding operation at Ground Zero. The large tent that we set up next to Ground Zero was dubbed the "Taj Majal". It is here that we were able to serve rescue and response workers looking for food and rest.
Our efforts were supported by several New York City restaurants as part of the Restaurant Revitalization Program. The program allowed for The Salvation Army to choose other restaurants from which to purchase food to serve at the tent.
Additionally, The Salvation Army provided protective gloves, masks, and socks. More importantly, Salvation Army pastoral caregivers were able to pray with and counsel rescue and recovery workers toiling under emotionally and physically draining circumstances.

Morgan Stanley has hired Ileana Musa, head of global client strategy and segment at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, to lead a new banking and lending unit for its international wealth management business and private banking group, Citywire Americas can reveal.
According to a joint memo from international head Colbert Narcisse and private banking head Eric Heaton seen by Citywire Americas, the firm has launched the new unit as it allocates greater resources to the international wealth management business.
'In order to provide a more robust offering and comprehensive offering for our discerning international wealth management clients, we will be creating a new international banking and lending team.
'This group will partner strategically with financial advisors to meet the unique banking and liquidity needs of our international clients,' said the memo, which was sent to the Morgan Stanley private banking group employees and international wealth management branches. A spokeswoman from Morgan Stanley confirmed the contents of the memo but did not comment further.
Musa has been hired to lead the venture, as its new head of international banking and lending. She joins Morgan Stanley after 12 years in different senior positions at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
It is understood that in her role as managing director, head of global client strategy, she worked as a liaison between international financial advisors and the larger group.
The memo said: 'Ilena has extensive overall knowledge of international markets in both the wealth management and investment management businesses and has spent a significant amount of time working directly with financial advisors.'
She will report to both Heaton and Narcisse and join the management and operations executive committee for both their groups.
Narcisse has made a number of new appointments to the strategy and operation units to aid the international unit's growth since he was appointed in January. In March he hired former Julius Baer chief operating officer Greg Gatesman as head of business strategy and development.

Tim Sherwood is expected to be granted a promotion at Tottenham next season.
The London Evening Standard says had Harry Redknapp taken over as national coach, it is understood that the club were keen to promote Tim Sherwood from his role as technical co-ordinator to a more senior position.
The hierarchy have been impressed with Sherwood's work with the club's development sides and are keen, eventually, to move him closer to the first-team picture, possibly as a link between the training ground and boardroom.

The body count and general level of gore in Shakespeare's histories and tragedies is notoriously high, but rarely has a production so taken this to heart: Jamie Lloyds gritty and brutal take on Macbeth indulges fully in the Bard's penchant for the horrible, with more the one rain of blood pouring from the ceiling of the Trafalgar's newly transformed main space. This, combined with Lloyd's post-apocalyptic setting, makes for a very begrimed production – most characters spend most of the play in a rather sorry state – but there's more here than just another young director's attempt to make Shakespeare relevant.
Although this production could not be more stuffed with contemporary references. Resembling ragged freedom fighters in caves more than noble warriors, the Scots wield machetes, axes and smoke canisters, mirroring modern rioters all over the world. The witches sport gas masks, their voices echoing (not always coherently), and there's plenty of combat gear. Apart from the visuals, the jagged sound effects and flickering lighting remind of modern shock horror movies, sending the audience into paroxysms of fear (there may have been an occasional shriek) at the abrupt scene changes.
In essence, there's really nothing wrong with any of this – Macbeth is a particularly demonic play, featuring a Scottish thane becoming king through assassination after being advised to by witches, and these elements all feel appropriate to the modern setting. However, they do have a tendency to obscure and confound: by the interval, I was feeling more disappointed by Lloyd's concept than engaged. There's an overwhelming feeling here of trying to make Shakespeare cool, modern and relevant, but some of the story and themes go wanting.
For example, making McAvoy's Macbeth the Gerard-Butler-esque freedom fighter is all well and good, but how can a man we first met blood-caked be so afraid of murdering a king? And what is a king in this post-apocalyptic world – and why is lineage so important? It doesn't gel. There's also some rather over-directed moments – the intimation that Lady Macbeth's desire for power is in response to losing a child (adding real poignancy to "I have given suck...") isn't new, but trying to shoehorn in a hand to the belly and a shake of the head (when there are no lines to go with it the first time) just feels odd. And the decision to have a small contingent of the audience behind the action is also strange, with some scenes being missed by most of the audience because of it.
But there is a greater theme at work here, and it really comes to the fore during the second half. Lloyd takes a strong anti-violence stance with his nuanced direction of Jamie Ballard's Macduff – no longer the hero returning to defeat the tyrant, Macduff is made just as violent and as dirty as the tyrant he's trying to defeat. He looks just as mad next to the gun-toting Malcolm as Macbeth does – and McAvoy's portrayal becomes sublime as he goes from arrogance to acceptance of his fate. All of this cool post-apocalyptic window-dressing becomes a metaphor: a stance against modern violence and the excesses of war, and finally making it relevant to the piece, not just the audience.
It takes it time then, this Macbeth, but it proves much more than the sum of its parts by the curtain. McAvoy puts in a confident and assured performance, and is a pleasure to watch – and by the looks of the audience, is attracting one for his ability as well as his looks (which is probably for the best – he spends most of the piece rather bedraggled). There are plenty of flaws here, including some very basic ones (the dull thud of plastic sword against plastic axe being just one), but by the end you may well be blown away – I certainly was.
Design for Jamie Lloyd's season is by Soutra Gilmour, who has just won the 2012 Evening Standard award for Best Design for Inadmissible Evidence at the Donmar Warehouse, directed by Lloyd.
Shakespeare's darkest tale plays out in a dystopian Scotland brutalised by war. Under a toxic fog, Macbeth begins his tormented struggle for power fuelled by ambition and paranoia.

Small Steps a Big Book
By Scholastic Kids Reporter Aaron Broder
If you have ever read Holes by Louis Sachar, you probably remember Armpit. He was one of the residents at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile correction facility, where the Warden had them dig Holes. In Sachar's new book, Small Steps, he is still digging, but he is getting paid for it.
Two years earlier, Camp Green Lake closed and all the campers were released. When Armpit got home, most people were still suspicious of him. Even his own parents didn't trust him and periodically gave him drug tests.
But he is determined to take small steps to a better life. He wants to graduate from high school, get a job, save his money, avoid situations that may turn violent, and lose the name Armpit.
The only person that seems to understand him is his 10-year-old neighbor Ginny, who has cerebral palsy. They make a perfect pairafter all, Ginny's whole life is about taking small steps.
Armpit is doing pretty well with accomplishing his goals until X-Ray, one of the former campers from Camp Green Lake, comes around with a money-making scheme. The idea is simple; they buy 12 tickets to a concert for one of the hottest singing sensations, Karia DeLeon, and then sell them at a premium price. All they need is one thingArmpit's money.
Somewhat unwillingly, Armpit coughs up the cash, and they buy the tickets. What follows is a thrilling series of events that bring Karia DeLeon and Armpit together. Romance and suspense make this novel an exciting read.
Small Steps has more mature themes than Sachar's other books. This book is a must-read for those who have read Holes, but even those who haven't will find this a definite page-turner.
Louis Sachar certainly had a hard task. He had to write under the pressure of people expecting this to be as good as Holes. Luckily for the readers, he came very close.
Sachar is currently on a 17-city tour to promote the sequel, Small Steps. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interview him at his stop in Nashville, Tennesse.
SN: Your most famous book Holes was about an innocent boy who got sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile correction facility where they have to dig Holes. While there, he discovers a mystery behind the digging. Where did you get the inspiration to write Holes?
Sachar: Well, I don't get a whole lot of inspiration; it's mainly me trying to come up with ideas. I guess what led to me writing Holeswas having moved to Texas in 1991, and it was sort of my reaction to Texas.
SN: When you were first writing Holes, did you ever imagine it would be as big a deal as it turned out to be?
Sachar:: No, but you know, I don't think about those things when I'm writing. I just try to write it as well as I can. I don't think about whether it's going to be a success or not.
SN: The reason you are currently on tour is to promote your new book Small Steps. This chronicles the story of a scheme Armpit gets mixed up in two years after Holes took place. Had you always planned on writing a sequel to Holes?
Sachar: It wasn't until I was working on the movie Holes. A lot of the actors would want to know more about their characters that they were portraying. It got me thinking about some of the other characters.
SN: Why didn't you pick Stanley Yelnats to star in Small Steps?
Sachar: Well, I felt like I had left Stanley in a pretty good place. He was a redeemed hero; there wasn't much more to say about him. Armpit also suffered at Camp Green Lake but he didn't return rich and innocent. He returned home and had to get on with his life, and I found that more interesting.
SN: In Small Steps, there is a pivotal female character, the pop-star Karia DeLeon. Why did you make this jump from having virtually no female characters in Holes?
Sachar: Writing Holes, I was actually concerned that there were no female characters, but I thought that if there was such a camp...they would only send boys. So I tried to stick in female characters wherever I could. The attorney's a women, the warden is a women. But there weren't many opportunities for female characters.
SN: Where did you get inspiration for Armpit's friend Ginny, the little girl with cerebral palsy?
Sachar: I know a girl with cerebral palsy. I invited her and her mother over to my house one day and I asked what life was like for them. [Note: The book is dedicated to Laura, the child who had cerebral palsy, and her mom.]
After I interviewed Mr. Sachar, he read from and spoke about Small Steps to a crowd in a local bookstore in Nashville, Tennessee. He held a question and answer session with the audience and signed books afterward. I asked some people their reactions to the author and his new book.
"I thought he [Louis Sachar] was really nice and I was amazed at how many books [23] he had written," said John Yoder, a kid attending the event.
But it wasn't just kids who were excited.
"I think that he creates interesting and very different characters that kids can relate to," and Elizabeth Streett, a fifth-grade teacher.

Crazy. See they don't realize all that goes into the price of the stay. The groupons are great. But they don't include food or travel, trip insurance, taxes, etc. In addition as stated they are last minute deals. I looked at the groupons and they are just not worth it at all. I mean do they look at the resorts off the groupon site? Look at the reviews? See if it is even a decent place?

Growing Support for Latin America and the Caribbean
The global financial crisis has affected economic growth in several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, threatening to reverse recent poverty gains as well as economic and fiscal advances.
The Inter-American Development Bank worked closely with countries in the region to provide additional financing and policy advice to governments and the private sector. The aim is to lessen the impact of the global financial crisis and provide budget support to help ensure economic stability.
To help countries, the IDB has been providing support in these areas:
Increase in lending
The poorest nations in the region are receiving special attention from the IDB during the crisis. More
Safety Nets
The IDB supports the creation and expansion of social safety nets in the region to protect the most vulnerable. More

ORLANDO, Fla. - State troopers are looking through a major piece of evidence they recovered in the fatal hit-and-run Orange County day care crash.
On Saturday night, investigators found the black Mazda Robert Corchado rented after he allegedly dumped a silver Dodge Durango that troopers said he was driving when he allegedly caused the crash into the day care on Wednesday.
They found the Mazda at the Wentworth Apartments near Dean and Lake Underhill roads in Orlando.
Channel 9's Angela Jacobs spoke to residents at the complex, who said they're on edge knowing Corchado was close to their homes.
Resident Santiago Parker said at first he wasn't sure what was going on his apartment complex Saturday when he saw troopers in the parking lot.
"Why did he dump the car here? What popped in his mind that he would bring it here from Winter Park?" Parker said.
Residents said the gates at the complex are always open during business hours, which leaves a myriad of possibilities of how the car made it there.
FHP troopers said it was just after 7 p.m. Saturday when Corchado's attorney informed troopers the rented Mazda CX was at the complex.
The fact that the car has been found doesn't put Parker's fears to rest.
"[I'm concerned] someone may have helped him or had something to do with it," Parker said.
The fact Corchado rented the car could factor into evidence prosecutors will present Monday in the continuation of Corchado's bond hearing.
Prosecutors will call witnesses they said back up their claim that he's a flight risk.

A/N: Another Britsh Authors assignment. This time, the goal was an emotionally charged monologue depicting someone about to face the thing they dread most, in the style of the final scene from The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus.
[A GUST OF WIND, the CREAKING OF WINDOWS]
GIRL: [In Darkness] This isn't funny anymore, Derrick.
[Lights up on the GIRL, alone in the center of the empty stage.]
It's been and hour, now. You could have at least called. [Another gust of WIND. She looks nervously toward an unseen window.] But you probably forgot. You're probably lost in some videogame right now, and by the time you remember the movie will be long over. You know what, I'm not waiting. I'll just call you right now. [She crosses to an invisible phone, reaches for it. Pauses, looks back at the window.] I guess the roads aren't great. Maybe I'll try your cell, first. You always answer your cell. Unless…
[WIND. She bites her lip, hesitates. Draws back.] Better not. You shouldn't be talking and driving at the same time, anyway. Because that's what you're doing now, I'm sure. Driving, I mean. Driving nice and slow. Silly of me to worry. [WIND. A pause.] Oh, no. Please, no.
[She shakes her head dismissively.] That couldn't happen. You're just running late… [She crosses back to the window. A SIREN passes. She gasps, pulls away. Pauses.]
No, no. It couldn't be. That's- That's ridiculous. I mean, who's ever heard- It was just a movie. People don't… They don't… Please, let him be safe! I can't stand the idea of him- [She stops, unable to complete the thought.] Oh, please, please, please, tell me this was all just some huge misunderstanding, because I love him so much and this can't happened just because I wanted to go to a movie. I will not let this be my fault- [A deafening windy HOWL shakes the room again. The lights flicker. She takes a shaky breath.]
Listen to me. I must sound like some sort of lunatic, in here jumping at shadows and all these crazy things that aren't there. But that's me. Always too worried, always crazy, crazy, crazy. [A pause. She looks out the window for a moment. Whirls around in fury.]
Would it have killed you to call, Derrick? I would have taken two seconds- two seconds- to just pick up the phone and tell me you were going to be late. But instead, you leave me here all alone to go insane worrying about you, because I guess it never occurred to you that people don't cease to exist when they're out of your sight, and they care about you all the time, even if you don't, since you're too wrapped up in your own brilliant, shining glory to remember the rest of us. You know, I hope you don't call. I don't want to hear your stupid, fake little apology again. I wouldn't mind, if you were stuck in a snow bank somewhere, because then I'd never have to listen to you again!
[More WIND. The lights go out. A pause.]
Forgive me.
[The lights dim up, like the glow of candles.]
I didn't mean any of that, Derrick. I was just so… upset. Oh, please be okay.
[A phone RINGS.]
That must be you, now, letting me know that you're fine. [She hurries over to the phone. Stops.]
Or maybe it's not. It could be… them. I t could be-
No. It's fine. I'm just being stupid. I can answer a phone.
[Another RING- slower, louder, more intimidating. She pulls back her hand.]
But if it is, I don't want to know. I don't want to hear it.
[RING- still deeper, longer.]
Stop, please. Just leave me alone. There's no reason to call me because Derrick is just fine-
Because if he's not, I killed him by being selfish and demanding and not caring about the snow or him or anyone but myself. Oh God, how did I turn into this?
Stop! Please, go away. I'm not interested. I'm not going to listen to this. I won't let you tell me that he's gone. He's not gone! Stop trying to take him from me!
No! Please! Don't make this real! Please, just stop!
[A final RING- deafening, echoing. A pause. The girl swallow, reaches for the phone.]
Hello? Yes, this is she. [Slowly, mechanically, she sinks to her knees. The lights dim with her down to darkness.]

Oil City – the Galician Black Gold Rush [Download Oil City PDF brochure]
Oil City is a simulation board game about the beginnings of the oil industry in Galicia, a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The players take on the roles of genuine historical nineteenth-century magnates – pioneers of the European oil industry – and play as three-person partnerships. They buy fields, hire drillers, develop infrastructure, extract, and sell freight cars carrying natural resources (oil-based kerosene, gas, earth wax). They run their companies in conditions of rapid fluctuations in the prices of resources. They invest in the development of their fields and do business with other partnerships. The company which has the highest score after six rounds is the winner.
Number of players: 9–30
Age: 13+
Game duration: 90–120 minutes
Most important attributes of the game:
- an innovative educational tool: investing, risk management and business practice, learning logical thinking, planning, cooperation, coping with changing prices of natural resources,
- an interesting history lesson: recollection of the pioneering contribution of Poles and Galicia residents in the nineteenth-century Austro-Hungarian Empire to the development of the oil industry,
- visual attractiveness: archive images incorporated into modern graphic design,
- a gripping game,
- adapted to the needs and conditions of working with large groups,
- an excellent integration tool.
- educators of teenagers or adults,
- participants in classes conducted by educators,
- educational and cultural circles,
- communities associated with industrial heritage, specifically with the oil and gas industry,
- circles interested in innovative economic and historical education.
The players establish three-person partnerships. Each partnership is composed of three different experts. Each player takes one of the following roles of experts associated with the Galician oil business: engineer, landowner, administrator, or merchant.
The game is moderated by two masters of the game – the bankers. The banker can be the person initiating the game or someone appointed by the said person (e.g. a student or guest of the meeting). The bankers provide the players with markers of their buildings and extracted natural resources, as well as cards of their purchased deposit fields and freight cars used to carry the sold goods. The bankers also set the prices of the extracted resources, keep the order of game rounds, and announce when the game is over and who the winners are.
Educational attributes of the game:
- in the storyline
The historical storyline refers to the operations of Galician oil magnates – the pioneers of the European oil industry.
At the start of the game, each player receives a card of a historical figure who was involved in the Galician oil business. By taking on the role of the figure, the player can buy fields, employ people (drillers), invest in extraction infrastructure (wells) and its improvements (pumps, ventilators, Canadian drilling rigs), and invest in processing infrastructure (distilleries, refineries). The objective is to increase the wealth measured in Austro-Hungarian guldens, skilfully administer the resources in their possession – the means of production (labour, capital, land) – and make the oil company as rich as possible.
- in the mechanism
The game's mechanism allows the players not only to compete on the oil market but also – just like the historical figures – to establish business cooperation (e.g. collective investment in fields or sharing revenue from completed oil transactions). This makes it a simulation, which facilitates the learning of actual economic processes, including ones that are in effect today. During the game, the players can experience the practical aspects of an economy such as investments, risk, revenue, cost and profit.
- in the graphic design
In its design, the game references archive illustrations from late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Galicia. The selected historical materials are presented in a modern format, attractive to the contemporary user.

Brand: Remo
The textured surface of Remo's Renaissance drumheads is excellent for use with sticks, brushes and mallets, and provides a wider yet more balanced sound spectrum for both snares and tom-toms. The single layer of 7.5 mil Mylar flim, combined with the textured surface produces a slightly warmer tone than the Clear and Suede Diplomat drumheads.

Knowledge Exchange Between Human Rights Practitioners and Junior Scholars
Human rights organizations rely vitally on information for their work of stopping violations through exposure and associated moral outrage. Yet information concerning these violations is often highly contested, containing contradictory accounts from victims, violators, witnesses, and other interested parties; this confusion is exacerbated in the fog of widespread political and social conflict. Traditionally, human rights organizations have relied on long established, tried-and-tested personal relationships with local informants to navigate to a version of events they believe is the truth.
The rise of social media has, however, complicated this route. On the one hand, social media – and the anonymity they afford – allow the victims and witnesses who previously would have stayed silent out of fear or distance to report violations to human rights organizations. They also provide these organizations with new avenues for tracking situations as they unfold, like the Twitter feeds belonging to residents of the besieged Syrian city of Homs or the 'narco-blogs' that serve as online gathering-points for information on the drugs war in Mexico.
On the other hand, the increase in volume of information on human rights violations is correlated with a decrease in its verifiability. It takes time to establish the personal identity of social media sources not already embedded in human rights organizations' existing networks. For some online sources, anonymity is a condition of the information, so their embodied identities (as opposed to their online ones) may never be verified. A significant challenge, therefore, for these organizations' use of information transmitted over social media is the difficulty of assessing the credibility of its sources.
For this project, I will engage with human rights organizations to understand how they evaluate information they receive via social media, particularly with respect to its credibility. In what ways are they able to triangulate this information with online and offline networks? How do they identify imposters? How do they overcome the problems anonymity poses for assessing credibility? What influences their credibility thresholds for these sources? Because human rights organizations deal with such contentious events and because the stakes are high in establishing the accounts of these events, I anticipate that they are among the most expert sectors in society at establishing source credibility.
Assessing sources is also a vital skill for academics, and one they build on with experience over the length of their careers. It is most important, however, to lay the foundation of these skills at an early stage, as research cannot exist without sources. Social media sources are as new for academics as they are for activists, and scholars studying contemporary political and social change narrated via social media face similar challenges to those outlined above for human rights organizations. No matter whether their ontological bent leads them to favour a single account or derive interest from a variety of versions, all scholars will benefit from knowledge exchange with these organizations on how to, at its essence, uncover more about the motivations and identities of social media sources.
This project will facilitate knowledge exchange between human rights practitioners and junior scholars via a collaborative workshop. It will also produce a multimedia toolkit for the SMKE website on best practices for the credibility evaluation of social media sources. A further aim is to build a network between and amongst the two groups for ongoing knowledge exchange, whether about social media practices or about human rights research and advocacy.

Stem cell breakthrough
Stem cell breakthrough could lead to new bone repair therapies.
Stem cell breakthrough could lead to new bone repair therapies.
Scientists at the University of Southampton have created a new method to generate bone cells which could lead to revolutionary bone repair therapies for people with bone fractures or those who need hip replacement surgery due to osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
To generate bone cells for regenerative medicine and further medical research remains a significant challenge. However we have found that by harnessing surface technologies that allow the generation and ultimately scale up of human embryonic stem cells to skeletal cells, we can aid the tissue engineering process. This is very exciting.
Our research may offer a whole new approach to skeletal regenerative medicine. The use of nanotopographical patterns could enable new cell culture designs and could herald the development of new bone repair therapies as well as further human stem cell research.
This latest discovery expands on the close collaborative work previously undertaken by the University of Southampton and the University of Glasgow. In 2011 the team successfully used plastic with embossed nanopatterns to grow and spread adult stem cells while keeping their stem cell characteristics

Feb 2012 Council Motion 2
For this Council to take in charge (as a Cul de Sac) a laneway (unnamed laneway, map supplied) in Baylough half of which falls within County Roscommon the other half in Westmeath. Roscommon have agreed to take their half in charge.
This laneway is just opposite Shines Bar and it is in terrible condition with muck for a road and overgrown brambles either side all the way to the end. Technically I don't know how this would work, other than Roscommon and Westmeath / Athlone need to come together and agree a way of providing for this laneway which leads down to approx. 6 private dwellings.
I would ask that the Engineer if he wouldn't mind taking a look at this lane with a view to assessing what needs to happen in order for this laneway to be taken in charge by either or both of the Councils.

Laser Safety
Lasers are possessed and supervised by a Laser Custodian. The Laser System Safety Officer (LSSO) manages Lasers, Custodians, and Workers across the entirety of NPS by a Laser Permit System. The Laser Permit assigns ownership and inventory responsibility. It may authorize the use of lasers at specific locations. Custodians may also request that Laser Workers be added to their Permit for their equipment. All class 3B and 4 lasers at the Naval Postgraduate School, must be Permitted for ownership, and Authorized for use. The following items are to be completed prior to a Permit being issued for ownership of a class 3B or 4 laser:
- Take NPS Initial Laser Safety Training.
- Pass the Initial Laser Safety Quiz with a grade greater than 70%.
- Complete a Baseline Eye Examination at Presidio Medical Clinic
There are several additional steps that must be documented to turn a laser on at NPS. All Class 3B or 4 Laser at NPS must conform to ANSI Z163.1 -2014 "Safe Use of Lasers," ANSI Z163.5 "Safe Use of Lasers in Educational Institutions," and ANSI Z163.8 - 2012 "Safe Use of Lasers in Research, Development and Test". Custodians are strongly encouraged to review ANSI Z136.1-2014 excerpts on Engineering and Administrative Controls for the subject class of laser, as those excerpts outline nearly all the site required controls. Once these items are nearly completed, consider contacting the LSSO to begin work on all of the following:
- Submit Laser System Data to the LSSO.
- With the LSSO, generate a Laser Hazard Analysis (LHA).
- From the results of the LHA, complete a deliberate Operational Risk Management (ORM) analysis.
- From the deliberate ORM analysis and manufacturer's instructions, complete a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
- With the concurrence of the LSSO, purchase the required PPE for yourself and all prospective workers.
- Have the laser and lab site inspected by the NPS LSSO
- Supervise any laser workers identified by your permit complete Initial Laser Safety Training, Quiz, and Baseline Eye Exams.
- Administer training on the LHA, ORM, manufacturer's instructions, and SOP.
- Receive your Custodian Permit with authorized lasers specified
- Start a Laser Firing Log.
- Store the LHA, ORM, SOP, Space Inspection, and Permit in the Log. Document the Training on the system for all users in this log. Log all laser usage.
Becoming a Laser Worker is relatively simple:
- Identify and obtain permission from the Custodian to use their lasers
- Have the Custodian contact the LSSO to update the permit
- Complete the Initial Laser Safety Training and quiz (please e-mail LSSO when completed).
- Complete a Baseline Eye Exam.
- Complete the specific training your Custodian requires for use of the laser systems. Ensure the training is documented in the Laser Firing Log.
Upon completion of these items, the Custodian will receive and sign an updated permit. Upon receipt of this update, you are free to use the lasers as directed by the Custodian.
Custodians should contact the LSSO with as much of the following information as can be obtained in order to complete the registration form:
- Laser Manufacturer, Make or Model, and Serial Number
- Lasing Medium (e.g. Nd:YAG, He-Ne, etc.)
- Operating Wavelength (e.g. 633 nm, list all parameters for each if more than one)
- Maximum Power at which the laser could operate (e.g. 600 mW)
- Laser Hazard Class (e.g. Class 3B)
- Operating mode of the laser: Continuous Wave, Single Pulsed, or Repetitively Pulsed
- If Pulsed
- Pulse Energy (e.g. 50 microjoules/pulse)
- Pulse Length (e.g. 10 nsec)
- Pulse Repetition Frequency (if repetitively pulsed - e.g. 100 Hz)
- Beam Diameter (e.g. 3 mm)
- Beam Divergence (e.g. 1.5 mrad)
Initial Laser Safety Training.
New User or PI Laser Safety Quiz.
Annual Refresher Training
Please contact the LSSO for the 1 question quiz after reviewing the Laser Safety Annual Refresher Training.
Custodians and Workers using class 3B or higher lasers need to have an eye exam completed prior to first laser use at NPS.

This has some great elements, and also some bizarre ones. The texture and the depth of this image are wonderful. The hair on the left figure is realistic, and the skin textures are good too. But the profile of the figure on the right is somehow "off." And the arm limbs of the model on the left are too long, and the contour of her breasts is somehow off as well. Still, the "heft" of the breast as she feels it is a wonderful effect, not one that I've seen in here yet! Congrats!
