If 2010 was the year of 3D in AV terms, 2011 is arguably the year of the smart TV. For while not everyone digs the idea of turning their TV into a multimedia-savvy home entertainment centre, many 'ordinary people' might well appreciate anything that lets them harness Internet video and multimedia files on the biggest screen in the house without having to go near a PC.
However, the catch with the Smart TV revolution is that you have to buy a new TV, right? Wrong. LG, for instance, is still intending to launch its rather groovy external smart TV set top box at some point. But also you can get so-called 'bridge' products that can convert multimedia files into something that even old TVs can understand. The Crystal Acoustics PicoHD5.1 is one of these 'bridging' products. But it's a rather unusual one on a number of levels.
First and most strikingly, it's remarkably small: just 7.5cm x 6.5cm x 1.5cm to be precise. And it weighs a mere 60g, despite being made from a surprisingly robust aluminium enclosure. The build quality is all the more unexpected when you consider that this potentially very handy little chap sells for the princely sum of £39.99.
Having said it's handy, we'd better get on with laying out exactly what it does. Its connections provide a strong clue, comprising as they do a USB input, an SD/MMC card input, an HDMI output, and a mini jack output for a provided AV RCA adaptor.
At its most basic level, what happens with the PicoHD5.1 is that you stick multimedia files from FAT/FAT32 USB storage or SD/MMC cards in at one end, and they magically emerge from the other in a telly-friendly format – up to 1080p, no less – ready to be output via either the supplied composite video/stereo audio cable or HDMI.
What's more, the 1080p output applies for all movie and photo files, whereas some rival equally-sized devices only output 1080p for photos and drop down to 720p for movie files.
The PicoHD5.1's most intriguing feature, though, is its 5.1 audio output (ah, so that explains the 5.1 bit of its name, then!). In fact, the PicoHD5.1 is, at the time of writing, the only product of its sort that supports 5.1 output, courtesy of a proprietary Crystal Acoustics technology that can deliver 5.1 digital signals via the white RCA cable that's part of the supplied cable package. Couple this multi-channel digital audio with the full 1080p video support and you can see why Crystal Acoustics likes to refer to the PicoHD5.1 as a 'home theatre that fits in the palm of your hand'.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

Mecklenburg County residents are becoming more dubious about man-made climate change even as scientists become more sure of it, the UNC Charlotte Urban Institute's annual survey shows.
Three out of four residents still believe climate change is a serious problem. But the number who say it's not a problem has doubled since 2012, to 14 percent, the survey shows.
|UNC Charlotte Urban Institute 2013 Annual Survey data
Fewer than 40 percent of those surveyed blame human activity, significantly lower than the 45.5 percent who said so in 2012.
A Pew Research Center poll in June found Americans generally less concerned about climate change than people in the rest of the world.
The Urban Institute quotes assistant earth-science professor Manda Adams, who studies the interaction between weather, climate and energy systems, as saying "there's still a lot of confusion in the general public" about climate change.
Most climate scientists, she notes, no longer debate causes. Instead, she says, they focus on the "lots of little parts that we don't have an understanding of yet."

In late July I made the journey to Northern California for CORPScamp Shasta, 5 days of cycling and yoga, hosted by AdventureCORPS. Chris and Elizabeth were fantastic hosts: each night after riding and doing yoga there was either a group meal with delicious vegan options or a film.
Mt Shasta hanging out in the clouds above 14,000 ft.
Each morning we'd meet up, do some stretching and head out for a 50-90 mile ride. My goal was to swim every day. On Thursday's ride I submerged myself in some cold snow run-off:
On the way back from McCloud there was a bonus climb on an unmaintained road above Mt. Shasta city:
On Friday we rode up to Mumbo summit, which is on the Mt Shasta super century that we'd ride on Sunday. The bonus climb this day went up to Castle Lake:
I jumped into water that was slightly warmer than the day before and swam about 500 yards out to a big rock in the middle. Exhilarating! A rock in the middle of a lake in the mountains is a great place to reflect (what's important to you? Being in open water in the summer ranks high on my list!).
Sunday was the Mt Shasta Super Century, which I posted about previously, but I only mentioned the food 🙂
I'm fortunate to have these opportunities in my life and the health and capacity to take advantage of them. Are you?

Sometimes people don't always agree with me, I'm pretty outspoken and have my own beliefs that are sometimes unpopular, especially when it come to politics! However, for the most part, GV members are among the most open-minded individuals I've ever met in my life. Sometimes I wish so hard that we could all meet in person.
Very rarely do I go a day without checking in with GV, so sorry I missed your post on the 28th. Yes, that was a bad day. But it's over and done and I'm back to me.
I am humbled by this thread and what everyone has written about me. Thank you so very much.

I feel the same. A few weeks ago Kira told me I was going to go through some stuff and gave me a tidbit of advise. A week later the "stuff" hit the fan. I was ready to chuck it all but remembered that advise. "Stuff happens, and we got through it without unnecessary upheaval. I am very thankful to my friend.

Again, you all have no idea how much these words of kindness mean to me.
Always remember that life is a process. Sometimes it's a rollercoaster, other times it's a long, flat boring road, but in the end, things always change. It's how we handle the changes, the highs, the lows: that make us who we are and define us as human beings.
My love and gratitude to all of you, what you don't realize is how much you help me as well.

The Violet of Montmartre
Operetta in three acts by Imre Kalman ()
Opening night of the performance took place on 4th of May 2012
The performance is recommended for viewers aged 12 and above
Big stage
27 February 2019, Wednesday, 19:00
The three friends live in the mansard in Montmartre: Raoul, a painter, Henry, a poet, Florimond, a musician and the girl of Raul - model Ninon, who dreams of becoming an actress. Young people are poor, they could not get success - nobody want to buy paintings of Raoul, to publish poetry of Henri, and all music theaters reject music of Florimond. But friends do not lose heart, trying to drown hunger out by the songs and jokes.
Recently, there is a young street singer Violetta, nicknamed "The Violet of Montmartre" in their company. She is sincerely string along with new friends, and helps them to succeed...
They said, that "The Violet of Montmartre" was the most mysterious and most delightful work of Kalman. At the time of writing this operetta the fifty years-old composer was in love with his young wife, and all his music was suffused with a genuine sincerity and anticipation of happiness.
The premiere of the operetta took place on 21th of March, 1930 at Vienna Theater of Johann Strauss. Our theater have already turned to the production of "The Violet of Montmartre" five times: in 1933, 1944, 1953, 1958 and 1976. At this time, the performance is staged by Hungarian stage director Miklos Sinetar.

We're back!
In case any of you noticed that my Etsy store and Facebook fan page seemed to suddenly get quit, here is why :)
My partner and I decided to make it legal and throw together a last minute wedding. Pure crazy! I finished a couple of scheduled orders and then promptly shut down shop so that we could focus on wedding stuff and take a little us time after the wedding.
We had an outdoor ceremony. Outdoor wedding, October, and in Seward, Alaska.... yup insert more craziness here! Here we are headed out for a few rainy photos after our ceremony under the trees.
Chubby cheeks! My beautiful mom and me back at the house for the reception. Xtratufs were definitely required that day. I am showing off my cozy slugs that ordered just for the wedding, love those things.
Our unfinished addition was the perfect place to party!
We had planned for everything to be as stress free as it could be. Word got out that I had opted to not make my own cake. We were calling it an "anti-cake xtratuf" wedding. Our fabulous friends just couldn't have that. A group of them worked hard to surprise us with 4 awesome homemade cakes. Never-mind that I look ready to salsa in this pic.
Better hold on tight. I have a knife!
Celebrating with a kiss :)

OCC Bulletin 2011-35| August 1, 2011
Dodd-Frank Act Implementation - OTS Integration: Final Rule
Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) published in the Federal Register (76 FR 43549) a final rule on July 21, 2011, implementing several provisions of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, P.L. 111–203 (Dodd–Frank), including the transfer of certain functions from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and changes to national bank preemption and visitorial powers. This rule was effective on July 21.
The final rule amends existing OCC rules regarding internal agency functions and operations to incorporate the transfer of certain functions of the OTS to the OCC pursuant to title III of Dodd–Frank, and to implement other provisions of the act. As a result of title III, the OCC assumes responsibility for the ongoing examination, supervision, and regulation of federal savings associations on the transfer date of July 21. The act also transfers to the OCC the OTS rulemaking authority for all savings associations.
This final rule is part of the OCC's review of its regulations and those of the OTS to determine what changes are needed for the transition to OCC supervision of federal savings associations. The final rule includes provisions revising OCC rules that are central to internal agency functions and operations immediately upon the transfer of supervisory jurisdiction for federal savings associations.
Specifically, the final rule amends 12 CFR 4—which covers OCC organization and functions, the availability and release of information, and post-employment restrictions for senior examiners—to include the regulation of federal savings associations. The final rule also amends 12 CFR 8 to provide for the OCC's assessment of fees from federal savings associations.
Also included in this final rule are changes to the OCC's regulations that are necessary to implement certain revisions to the banking laws that took effect with enactment of Dodd–Frank. These changes include revisions to the OCC's rules that implement a moratorium on changes in control of credit card banks and trust banks pursuant to section 603 of Dodd–Frank (12 CFR 5), revisions to the OCC's federal branch and agency rules to reflect the increase in the standard maximum deposit insurance amount provided by section 335 of Dodd–Frank (12 CFR 28), and amendments to OCC rules pertaining to preemption and visitorial powers pursuant to sections 1044 and 1046 of Dodd–Frank (12 CFR 5 and 7, subpart D; and 12 CFR 34).
As part of the integration of the OTS functions into the OCC, the OCC also has issued an interim final rule with a request for comments that republishes those OTS regulations that the OCC has the authority to promulgate and enforce as of the July 21 transfer date, with nomenclature and other technical amendments to reflect OCC supervision of federal savings associations. This interim final rule was effective on July 21 and will be published in the Federal Register on August 9. These regulations supersede the OTS regulations in chapter V of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for purposes of OCC supervision and regulation of federal savings associations. The OCC will consider substantive amendments to these regulations, as appropriate, later this year.
For questions concerning this bulletin, contact to the Chief National Bank Examiner's Office at (202) 649-6550.

When superstar track and field coach Bill Bowerman met talented middle-distance runner Phil Knight an unlikely partnership was formed. Bowerman was looking for lighter, more durable running shoes for his Oregon University Runners, and Knight was searching for a way to make a living without having to give up athletics all together. The two put their heads together and came up with a shoe that featured outsoles modelled on a waffle iron – unconventional, but somehow it worked.
Bowerman and Knight named their new venture Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory, and began selling their shoes from out the boot of a car. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a sports industry market leader, and its distinctive 'swoosh' logo is arguably the most recognisable brand logo on the planet.
Despite this success, Nike's mission statement remains the unchanged: To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Because if you have a body, you're an athlete.

At the end of this month, we are moving. Luckily, it is to a home that is in our same neighborhood. So beginning the week between Christmas and New Year, we started the process. I love the fact that we can take things over in multiple little trips, rather than doing EVERYTHING all on the SAME day.
Anyway, the house we are moving into is a Log Cabin. You'll be seeing lots of pics, because I have TONS of projects planned (mostly all inspired from Pinterest). Before I started packing up all my craft supplies, I wanted to make a New Wreath for our New Front Door.
Here's what I came up with...
The wreath form was made using plumbing pipe insulation, and the denim is from a pair of jeans that originally, I was going to turn into a skirt, but when cutting the jeans apart, I didn't realize I was cutting the front and back at the same time - therefore, total screw up. WOW, that was quite the run-on sentence.
I think it adds a little Rustic Charm to a Rustic type home.
I'm linking up here... be sure to go check out all the other great stuff linked up.

At least 10 people were killed in Baghdad late Monday in a car bomb attack claimed by ISIS near a hospital in a central district, police and hospital sources said.
A suicide bomber had targeted a gathering of Shi'ite Muslims in the Karrada district, according to a statement circulated online by the Amaq news agency, which supports the ultra-hardline Sunni militant group.
The police sources said at least 39 people were wounded in the blast and they expected the death toll to rise, NBC News reported.
U.S. & World
The fight against ISIS, which seized a third of Iraq's territory in 2014, has exacerbated a long-running sectarian conflict in Iraq, mostly between the Shi'ite majority and the Sunni minority.
Monday's blast occurred not far from the site of an ISIS suicide attack in July that killed 324 people.

Lariat Assistant Editor
Monticello High School
San Juan County is in jeopardy-- for real. November 12, one hundred-fourteen businesses sent a letter to President Obama expressing their concern about the environment of our land. They asked that the President would, under the authority of the Antiquities Act, sign off 1.4 million acres of land in San Juan, Grand, Wayne, Emery, and Garfield counties to become a national monument. The majority of this land comes from San Juan County, and resides mostly in our backyard. Although a monument could have positive assets, there are far more concerns about the restrictions that would come with it.
First, it would help to understand why a national monument has been requested. The two main groups supporting this proposition include SUWA (Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance) and the outdoor recreational retailers of the United States. SUWA's main reason for pushing a national monument is to preserve the land. The outdoor recreational retailers' reason is to preserve their economy. Although SUWA has claimed not to have any connection to the outdoor recreational retailers, the map for the proposed acreage is identical. They are very much united on this idea.
SUWA is mostly wanting to protect the land from everything. Whereas we understand that proper land management consists of scientifically organizing the industries upon its face, SUWA believes that proper land management means to completely abandon the land and leave it to its own devices.
As of now, they do not even have a management plan in place supposing the monument is accepted. They are afraid that in allowing oil and mineral extraction, the land will be ruined. They believe that land does not recover for hundreds of years; citing the remains of the old uranium plant to support this.
However, modern technology has provided for much cleaner industry than we had so many years ago. Also, when asked about the certain loss of jobs and the economic result, Neil Clark, SUWA representative, stated that "this monument should not be built upon economic gain or loss." However, that is what our lives are tightly tied to-- take away our city's economic profit, and we're blown off the face of the map.
As for the outdoor recreational retailers, it is obvious that their main objective in supporting this monument is for personal profit. In their letter to President Obama, they state, "Wildlands are the foundational infrastructure for our industry [...] the future of our outdoor recreation economy depends on protecting iconic landscapes-- such as Greater Canyonlands." The protection of the land is not mentioned until the very end, and almost as a sure-why-not afterthought. Based off of our information, it is very likely that the outdoor recreational retailers have very little interest in the actual preservation of land.
Furthermore, they state (by citing the Outdoor Industry Association's data, no less) that outdoor recreation is an economic giant. However, the most profitable industry we have is that of mineral extraction. With the materialization of this monument would come a dematerialization of that industry; our biggest money-maker would be squashed. Even if we did pit outdoor recreational retailing profit against extraction profit, who exactly would be benefited? It is quite interesting to know that of the 114 supporting businesses, over half are not located in Utah. In fact, businesses from both Switzerland and the United Kingdom have been enlisted to endorse this proposal. Are our lives being dictated by foreign voices? Where in the world is our say-- in Utah, or in Vermont? And do these retailers need yet another recreational outlet to support their economy? Did Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Zion, and Arches plus the dozen other monuments of Utah all fail to financially support these businesses?
This monument wouldn't be such a concerning idea if it wouldn't greatly impact our lives. Not that I'm against the profit of outdoor recreational retailers or against environmental preservation. However, the problem with this monument is that it would obliterate the majority of the jobs supporting Monticello and the cities round about. SUWA has outrightly stated that their goal is to remove the extractive industries from off of the land. Furthermore, the livelihoods of ranchers would also be put at risk. Although present grazing rights would remain at first, the increasing restrictions of a national monument in the Greater Canyonlands area would eventually and assuredly drive ranchers out of business. We've already witnessed this with the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
In addition to the loss of very essential occupations (plus the local economy), the ordination of this monument would indirectly restrict other activity. Roads would be closed and motorized vehicles prohibited. This too would indirectly restrict ranchers. ATV's would be banned. Hunting would be all but barred-- that in of itself would lose monetary profit and impact the environment. Both necessity and recreation would be wiped out as a result of a monument.
A national monument in the Greater Canyonlands area would be devastating. We've seen how it would benefit certain organizations, and how it would harm us; what we haven't seen is how it would affect the Native Americans on the reservation. The population of San Juan County is 15,000 (a lot of lives on the line), out of which 8,000 people are Native American. For centuries these people have lived off the land, gathering wood for heat and construction and pine nuts for food. With very little natural resources as it is, it is highly necessary for them to be able to continue their use of the land. Yet, with the creation of the Greater Canyonlands National Monument, these people would be denied the prerequisites of their traditional life.
With just one signature, the Greater Canyonlands National Monument could be approved. Thousands of lives could be changed. And yet, this is entirely possible. Under the authority of the Antiquities Act, the current President of the United States is fully able to proclaim a national monument without approval from anyone else. This is what the pro-monument supporters are hoping for-- the approval from our one President as opposed to the approval of a majority. In fact, although the governor of Utah should have been contacted first about this, the letter requesting a monument was sent directly to the President. Not only this, but the Antiquities Act is mainly intended for the good of the public-- not the good of one specific industry.
Altogether, this monument is highly important. If it is approved, it is going to affect the entire 15,000 residents of San Juan County, plus everyone else in the four other counties. Extraction industries will be immediately removed-- this includes any mining or extraction of copper, uranium, potash, oil, and gas. Ranchers will survive a little longer, but just like the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, they too will eventually be extinguished. Native Americans will be denied both tradition and necessity. EVERYONE could eventually lose their jobs as a result. There will be no more development of any kind on this land. There will be no more vehicles allowed. There will be no hunting. There will, however, be hikers-- highly enthusiastic hikers, and an entire 1.4 million acres of solitary, undisturbed land for them to traverse! No more dirty, despoiling oil rigs! No more cows eating the environmentally vital grass! No more eyesores! Just the Greater Canyonlands National Monument, you, and... NOT ME!

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Those who smoke and drink heavily may develop pancreatic cancer at an earlier age than those who don't, according to a study led by a University of Michigan Health System gastroenterologist.
The average age at which pancreatic cancer is found is 72, according to the American Cancer Society.
In the study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, heavy smokers with pancreatic cancer were diagnosed around age 62 and heavy drinkers at age 61 – almost a decade earlier.
Smoking is a strong risk factor for pancreatic cancer and alcohol has been shown to cause oxidative damage to the pancreas, which sets the stage for the inflammatory pathways that can lead to cancer. The findings only indicate these habits can lead to developing pancreatic cancer earlier in life.
The study of 811 pancreatic cancer patients from the multicenter, international database Pancreatic Cancer Collaborative Registrydoes not prove the habits caused cancer.
The study does make a step toward understanding at what age screening for pancreatic cancer should begin – once widespread screening is available.
"As screening programs are developed, an understanding of how personal features influence the age of presentation will be important to optimize the timing of those screenings," says lead study author and gastroenterologist Michelle Anderson, M.D., assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan Health System.
Detecting pancreatic cancerearly is difficult and contributes to the poor survival rates. By the time pancreatic cancer is diagnosed, it is frequently at an advanced stage and has spread to other organs.
Currently there are no tests available to easily find it in people who do not have symptoms. In the study heavy smokers were defined as those who had more than a pack per day, and heavy drinking was measured at more than 39 grams a day, or about three average drinks per day.
Beer drinkers presented with pancreatic cancer earlier than those who drank other types of alcohol, such as wine or hard liquor although when adjusted for the amount of alcohol consumed, the type of alcohol did not affect the age of presentation.
The good news is that the harmful effects of heavy drinking and smoking can be reveresed. After 10 years, former smokers and drinkers who quit their habits faced no extra risk of earlier diagnosis.
The registry used for the study gathers information on patients with pancreatic cancer and at high-risk for developing pancreatic cancer. Patient data was collected from University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Neb.; University of Genoa, Italy; Creighton University School of Medicine, Omaha, Neb.; University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, NorthShore University Health System, Evanston, Ill., University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Ala.; and the University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, Mich.

When F. Scott Fitzgerald heard of the death of Thomas Wolfe, he sent a message of condolence to Maxwell Perkins, their editor at Scribner. "That great, pulsing, vital frame quiet at last," Fitzgerald wrote. "There is a great hush after him."
To countless numbers around the world, that is how things feel with the death of Richard Holbrooke, America's diplomat extraordinary. On Dec. 10, Holbrooke was rushed to hospital in Washington, D.C., with a tear in his aorta, and notwithstanding hours of surgery and constant care, died, age 69, on the evening of Dec. 13.
In every way, Dick Holbrooke was a big man handsome, broad-shouldered, with a capacious mind and a generous heart. He lived a public life almost from the moment he graduated from Brown in 1962. Within months, he was in Vietnam, and soon became one of a remarkable band of young diplomats in the Saigon embassy, at one and the same time working to advance American interests in Southeast Asia while learning lessons from mistakes made there lessons they would put to use later in their careers. Dick never lost a fascination with the region, and it never lost its respect and affection for him. I remember a lunch Dick hosted for Singapore's leader Lee Kuan Yew when he was ambassador to the U.N., and the immense pride he took in Lee's recollection of the way that Dick, when a young Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia (just 35 when he was appointed), had restored American honor in Asia in the dark years after the Vietnam War.
Restoring honor was something of a Holbrooke skill. After four years of cowardly, shifty and above all cruel policymaking in Washington a miserable fiasco for which officials working for two Presidents and both political parties were to blame Holbrooke, then Assistant Secretary of State for European affairs, was tasked with finding a way to end the war in Bosnia, which had led to the deaths of some 200,000. Wheedling, bullying, negotiating, persuading, he took charge of the process that led to the Dayton Accords signed in 1995. In his drive, his boldness, his determination to do anything he could to end the killing, he demonstrated the best of American policy actually, more than that, the best of the American character. "Try to imagine a European Holbrooke," went the frequently asked question in 1995, as the leaders of the old continent wrung their hands in impotent pusillanimity. "You can't."
To be sure, throughout his career there were always those who said that Dick had a high opinion of his own talents and little time for others less gifted, to which there are two answers. The first is that it ain't bragging if you can do it. Dick could do it, and how. The second is that you should go out, right now, and buy To End a War, Holbrooke's account of the Bosnia negotiations. This superb book, a true classic of its kind, is suffused from first page to last with an extraordinary generosity for the contributions of those, well known and obscure, who played their part in bringing Europe's worst conflict since 1945 to an end.
That same big spirit was evident in a part of the Holbrooke résumé that, I would guess, will be little noticed in most obituaries: his dynamic leadership of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria during the years after he left office in 2000. It was evident in the way he brought together U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Senator Jesse Helms, once an inveterate opponent of the U.N., during his years as ambassador in Turtle Bay. It was evident in the days and months he labored long and often thanklessly in what I think he regarded his most difficult task of all, bringing a measure of peace, stability and security to the war-torn lands of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Dick Holbrooke was a friend of mine. Just two days before he fell ill, I saw him and his devoted wife, the writer Kati Marton at a dinner where he proposed a toast with generosity, affection, self-deprecation and the sort of comic timing that made you think he had missed his true profession. I liked him enormously. But for all that he did over nearly 50 years of service to his nation, and indeed to all humankind, I admired him much, much more. A great hush, indeed.

Wayland tightens its belt after enrollment declines
October 24, 2013
The Wayland Baptist University Board of Trustees gathered for its regular fall meeting on Thursday, discussing issues facing the university.
One issue of discussion concerned the drop in enrollment and its effect on budget issues. WBU President Dr. Paul Armes and Executive Vice President and Provost Dr. Bobby Hall assured the trustees that the university was prepared for the decrease in revenue and will be able to function through the downturn. The Wayland administrators said that university officials were watching trends in education recognizing that enrollment numbers could drop. As a result, university officials prepared two budget scenarios for the 2013-14 budget year. Along with the regular budget, all departments were asked to prepare a secondary budget reflecting a 10 percent decrease in spending. With the downturn in enrollment, departments have been asked to adhere to their second budget. Additional expenditure reductions will be taken if circumstances dictate. The university continues to function smoothly with a strong cash flow.
In other action, the board confirmed the sale of the university's cabin in Glorieta to Glorieta 2.0, the new ownership group of the encampment. The university, along with all other property owners, was given the option to sell the cabin, donate it to the ownership group, or renew a 12-year lease at the end of which the property would be turned over the group. Wayland chose to sell its property.
The Board of Trustees also approved the purchase of a building located at 1812 W. Fifth St. The building currently houses a barber shop with office space located in the rear section. The barber shop will remain and Wayland will use the office space to house its Business Incubator Program, a program operated by the School of Business to help small business get started. The space will also be used for additional offices for faculty members.
The trustees received reports on the upcoming Jimmy Dean Museum project. Lavin and Associates in Amarillo will serve as architects for the project and have presented a preliminary set of plans for the addition to the existing Museum of the Llano Estacado. The plans call for a section of museum chronicling the life of the late Jimmy Dean, as well as a banquet room with catering facility. This room will be available to the community for appropriate events. Still in the preliminary planning stages, university administrators and Lavin and Associates are working through the cost estimates before proceeding with the project.
Dr. Michael Tschoepe, chair of the Institutional Advancement Committee, reported to the board that Lavin and Associates will be used for the Flores Bible Building project. Wayland is preparing to re-energize its efforts to complete the fundraising for the new religion building. A committee is meeting to re-craft plans and designs for the building.
The board confirmed the election of new board members. Pat Crawford, Bobby J. Moody, and Ella Prichard were re-elected to the board by its existing members. The trustees also elected Rick Breeden to a term, replacing the outgoing Delbert McDougal.
Dr. Gary Abercrombie, Tommy Lyons, Dr. Ted Sanders and Randy Stark were re-elected to the board by the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Abercrombie has served as chair of the board for the last two years. He was recognized as the outgoing chair at Thursday's meeting. Sally Walker was named chair of the Board of Trustees for 2014. The BGCT also elected Mr. Mark Murdock, Mrs. Cheryl Naumann and Mr. Keith Skaar.
The Board of Trustees will meet again Jan. 16, 2014

And what exactly is a "Bunny's Pedestal", you ask? Well I'll show...
but first let me introduce you to the bunnies.
Are these not the cutest little bunny rabbits you've ever seen?
I knew I wanted to make them part of my Easter decor, but because of their miniature stature, they would need something to help them have more presence.
I had recently made a custom purse for a customer from my Etsy shop, and used this beautiful quatrefoil patterned fabric. So that was my jumping off point. I rifled through my other craft supplies and came up with these components...
I cut the two largest circles the same size - they would become the top of the pedestal. The other four were progressively smaller - they would become the base of the pedestal. I made the initial cut with my Fiskars cutting tool, but due to the thickness of the chipboard, I had to finish the cuts with a pair of scissors. ( I could have done this much easier with my Cricut, but I have yet to purchase a deep-cutting blade).
Now, all the steps above were done about a week ago. Then, my poor little unfinished pedestal, had to sit around and wait for the weather to get warmer, so the next step could be completed.
Finally, yesterday, the temperature got above 65, and my little pedestal got a couple coats of white spray paint.
Using fabric glue, I ran a bead of glue around the thin
edge of the chipboard and attached the trim.
I can't wait to put together my Easter decor and set them in a Place of Honor.
I think after the holiday, this will also make a perfect little Cupcake Stand.
I'm linking up here... be sure to there and visit and see all the other awesome ideas.

1) Script Title:
Virtual Pagination script v2.1
2) Script URL (on DD):
3) Describe problem:
Hi, I have been using your script for 3 years now and it has been great! So first of all thank you for making it! (i'm using the demo 3)
To the problem:
My site (http://netti-tv.net/yle) gets images from rss feed and is really slow at loading the page course it loads all of the images the same time. So my question is: is there a way that the Virtual Pagination would only load the images in the first tab? And when you press an other tab it would then start loading the image?
Reason why I need a fix to this is that the site loads for 20 seconds and i'm pretty sure it takes lots of potential costumers...
http://gtmetrix.com/compare/EkBoFTpO/VuY8EgdX <- Statics
Hopefully somebody can help me. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the link. I appreciate it.
As I told Mr.Rot I was up in the air as far as putting up a haunt this year. We plan to renew our vows(after 25 years)on Oct 30 and then leave for a 2 week vacation to the West coast on Nov 1st.
The haunt is pretty much a repeat of last year with just some minor adjustments.
Thank you all for the nice comments!!

Along with the free goods - they also sent me a recipe to try for the holiday weekend. It sounds really good and simple - thank God! That's the only cooking I know how to do! Where do you find chipotle pepper in adobe sauce - anybody know?
Give it a try over the weekend and let me know what you think!
Cincinnati Caviar
1 bag (12 oz.) Allens Frozen Super Sweet Kernel Corn, cooked according to package directions and chilled
⅓ cup finely diced green peppers
⅓ cup finely diced red peppers
⅓ cup finely diced red onions
1 can (15.5 oz.) Allens black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp. minced garlic
1½ cups diced tomatoes
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. lime juice

When we first heard the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee was getting air suspension, we were concerned it'd impact off-roading prowess. However, based on these first Rubicon Trail images, the next Grand Cherokee seems to crawl just fine.
The wheeling happened during the recent Jeep Jamboree and the new Grand Cherokee's display an impressive level of capability. We were under the impression the next-gen WKs (or whatever they'll be called) were pansy machines, but they're showing some significant badasserry here. If you pay attention in the gallery you'll even see the white one demonstrating some pretty impressive trail rash on the driver's side rear fender.
When Daimler-controlled Jeep said their vehicles wouldn't necessarily be Rubicon rated, we about tossed in the towel, but this new Grand Cherokee is proving there's still hope yet for the perennially cursed brand. It appears the new Grand Cherokee is handsomely appointed, wells-styled, AND capable off road. Color us hopeful for the one new Chrysler product.
Especially given other news today from the folks at JeepGarage.org that the all-new Grand Cherokee may get a starting price of $31,480 (including destination charges) for a base 4x2 Laredo up to $45,770 for a top-of-the range 4x4 Overland. That's a whopping ten bucks cheaper on the low end than the price of the long-in-the-tooth 2010 model. [Facebook, JeepGarage]

Roz Washington is a recurring character on Glee. She is the coach of the Cheerios and the Synchronized Swimming team at McKinley High in Lima, Ohio. She made her first appearance in Yes/No, the tenth episode of Season Three and her last appearance was in Jagged Little Tapestry, the third episode of Season Six.
She is portrayed by NeNe Leakes.
Roz is first seen after what is presumed as Sam's first meeting with the team. She was an Olympian and won Bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for Individual Synchronized Swimming. It can be assumed that she is quite a strict coach.
Roz is first introduced as the new coach of the synchronized swimming team at William McKinley High School. Later it seems that she let her students and New Directions perform We Found Love in her pool for Will's proposal to Emma.
Principal Figgins enlists Roz to help coaching the Cheerios, much to Sue Sylvester's dismay. Claiming that Sue's cheerleading routines are far too outdated, Roz instructs the group to perform a more modern style, and the cheerleaders, including Becky Jackson, seem to prefer this new approach. Later, Roz discovers that Sue intends to raise a child, which she opposes, insisting that Sue is "too old" to be a mother.
Principal Figgins informs Sue that he is instating Roz as Co-Coach of the Cheerios due to Sue's lack of effort to make it to Regionals. This adds to the rivalry between the two women, and Roz makes another remark about Sue's baby to be born in adulthood and with a profession.
Roz overhears Santana making a comment about Shannon's black eye, gossiping that it comes from Cooter, her husband, beating her. She tells the girls off because domestic violence isn't a matter to joke about. She teams up with Sue and together they give the girls an assignment to perform songs that empower woman to get out of an abusive relationship. But she is shocked by their rendition of Cell Block Tango, saying that they're crazy and she agrees with Sue in saying that they've failed to understand the reality of abuse and the point of the assignment. She is present when Shannon confesses that Cooter hit her, and she asks why she didn't get out of the house because she could easily have beaten him back.
Roz is shown to be angry because, since the New Directions won their competition, Sue gets to stay head coach of the Cheerios.
Roz congratulates Sue on helping the glee club win Nationals, as well as the Cheerios. She then proposes that the two of them make it their goal next year to get Principal Figgins fired because he's growing corrupt. As she leaves her office she makes another joke towards Sue's age and the baby.
Roz Washington returns to McKinley, from training the North Korea swim team with Dennis Rodman, in order to take over the Cheerios after Sue's departure. She begins to become suspicious by the fact that Blaine is now co-captain, and assumes that he was the one who caused the gunshot to go off, causing Becky to become defensive. Roz then makes the two sign an oath to not to do anything to get on her bad side and/or make her look stupid.
In this episode, Roz is first seen talking to the Cheerios about things like rib removal, which concerns Blaine because of her dubious manner. Meanwhile, when Becky tells Sue she wants her to return as a coach, she is hurt by the way Roz treats her individually. Roz is seen yelling at Becky, and is still convinced that Becky is Sue's adult child. She is present during Sue's solo, Little Girls, training the Cheerios. Roz is seen infuriated as she takes Becky into Principal Figgins' office when she mentions that Becky calls her "Coach Chocolate Pie" and churlishly demands Figgins to do something about it as she storms out of the room.
Roz is seen in her office as she hears loud banging on the door, yelling to tell the person to come in, but when she opens the door, she sees Brittany banging on the wall with a hammer, as she is nailing 95 reasons of why she is quitting the Cheerios. Roz looks concerned and decides to read the reasons herself. She then looks at Brittany, curious to what she is doing, as she soaks her Cheerios uniform and sets it on fire, causing Roz to cower and worry about her trying to set her hair on fire. She splashes water to slack the fire.
After having been promoted to principal, Sue calls both Roz and Will into her office. Roz fears that Sue will fire her, seeing as she took over the Cheerios after Sue was fired. She admits that there are a lot of things Sue could call her out for, like taking performance enhancing drugs in order to get her bronze medal, committing credit card fraud and stealing her car, a Lexus. When joining them in her office, Sue reveals that she wants the Cheerios and the Glee Club to be successful and won't fire either Roz or Will if they manage to win another National Championship.
The day after prom, Roz grabs Bree's ponytail and brings her to Sue Sylvester's office. While she thinks the stunt Bree pulled on Tina was highly entertaining, she requests for her to learn that such behavior has consequences and suggests her to be suspended. When instead Sue promotes Bree to Head Cheerio, offers to buy her a Le Car and praises her for finding an entirely new way to terrorize the Glee Club, Roz is shocked and states that only last week Sue wanted the New Directions to win Nationals. Sue explains that the Glee Club was always at its best when they had an enemy, previously herself, at this school.Cheerios' Nationals competition with a first place trophy, which she triumphantly brings with her to Principal Sue's office. Sue admits she didn't think Roz had it in her to take the Cheerios to Nationals and pull off a first place win. Roz tells Sue she isn't the only reason for the Cheerios' success. Sue thinks Roz is being a little arrogant at this point and tells Roz she can only be so smug after she has won 16 more National competitions. However, as a result of her win, Roz is permitted to continue coaching the Cheerios. Roz wheels her trophy out of Sue's office and tells Will she will be celebrating this summer at her cottage in Saint Tropez.
In Sue's office; Roz, along with Sue, Tina and Quinn are interrogating Becky's boyfriend Darrell. Roz confuses Becky, and Sue's daughter's Robin. When Sue explains that they are not the same person, Roz looks stunned. When Sue continues about how her sister, Becky (her best friend) and Robin have Down Syndrome, Roz repeats what she said, astonished by how the closest people have Down Syndrome. She sits down and listens, portraying a variety of emotions as the interrogation happens.
This episode marks her final appearance on the show.

Coach Roz Washington: Sam Evans? I'm Coach Roz Washington. And you are one strange looking kid. I've never seen lips like that on a white child, and one of your nipples is higher than the other. I bet you've had to overcome a lot with those crooked nipples. Well, I know a thing or two about overcoming. When I was growing up, they said that black folks couldn't swim. But I had a DREAM! that one day I would get to the promised land. So I swam out there and got my forty acres and a pool.
—Coach Roz Washington, Yes/No
Roz: Oh my god, hold up. Maternity leave? Are you pulling my leg?
—Roz Washington, The Spanish Teacher
Roz: Oh, I know. The doctor had to shine a flashlight in your va-j-j to get all the bats to fly out. I understand, that keeping bats out of your womb is an important part of having a baby when you're older than God.
—Roz to Sue, Big Brother
Shannon, write these names down as placeholders: Hat Rack, Asian Horror Movie, Little Oprah, Rojo Caliente, Salsa Caliente.
—Roz about Brittany, Tina, Mercedes, Sugar and Santana, Choke
There's a cheerleading coach at their school who's old as dirt and still trying to have a baby who they know is gonna come out looking weird with rabies and wings and it's gonna fly right out of your hat box and straight back into hell.
You girls are cray-cray! You were supposed to pick a song that gave women the self-esteem and courage to get the hell out of an abusive situation. But, oh no! You picked a song about crazy women in their panties killing their men for chewing gum! How is that supposed to help?
—Roz about Brittany, Tina, Mercedes, Sugar and Santana for singing Cell Block Tango, Choke
Sweetheart, You're as big as a house. Why don't you turn around and kick his ass?
—Roz Washington to Coach Beiste about Cooter, Choke
Honey, please, I am a child of the ghetto. I can't sleep at night unless I hear at least two gunshots.
—Roz Washington to Shannon Beiste and Will Schuester, Sweet Dreams
We like our protein shakes to taste like human food and not some crazy peanut butter stem cell sauce you cooked up on your island of Dr. Monroe.
—Roz Washington to Becky Jackson, Lights Out
Sue's adult baby has been a belligerent pain in my booty and I am not gonna take it anymore. First, she started making fart noises every time I bent over, then she started making fart noises every time I blinked. Ain't nobody fart every time they blink, that is crazy! Then Robin Sylvester called me "Coach Chocolate Pie," I marched her down here so you can decide what to do with her. It's YOUR problem!
—Roz to Principal Figgins about Becky, Lights Out
Oohh! Lord! Jesus! This fool done tried to set my hair on fire!
—Roz Washington about Brittany, All or Nothing

Natalie Brown played a major role in the first two 20-win seasons in Southeastern's modern-day women's basketball.
She will be inducted into the Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame Friday, August 25, in the Visual and Performing Arts Center.
She graduated from Stringtown (Oklahoma) High School in 1976. During her senior year, Natalie led the state in scoring with an average of 34.8 points per game while leading her team to district, regional and area championships. The storied season ended in the semifinals of the state tournament.
Natalie Brown Cooksey
Brown earned honorable-mention All-State honors, was named All-Conference, played in the Kiamichi All-Star Basketball Classic and was selected to the All-State-Tournament Team.
She transferred to Southeastern after two years at Eastern Oklahoma State College.
Brown's two years for coach Vicki Hudson's Savagettes produced a pair of state championships, two trips to the Regionals and one Regional championship.
As a junior in 1978-79, she sparked Southeastern to an Oklahoma Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (OAIAW) state title with a 71-63 victory over Oklahoma Christian College in a game played in Bloomer Sullivan Gym.
That team went on to earn the consolation crown in the Regional Tournament of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) by winning four of five games at Texas Wesleyan College in Fort Worth, Texas.
Brown helped the Savagettes to a second-consecutive OAIAW state championship at Northwestern State College in Alva in 1979-80.
Hudson's club hosted the Region 4 tournament with teams from Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. The Savagettes reached the finals and fell one game short of advancing to the National Tournament at the University of Dayton (Ohio.)
Coach Hudson said, "We already had a good tradition started, but when Natalie walked through the door, the outlook to build on that tradition became even brighter.
"As a post player, Natalie had great hands and she was playing with an excellent ball handler and passer in Kathy Cotton (the first female athlete inducted into the Southeastern Hall of Fame in February 1998.)
"Natalie and Kathy teamed to make some great things happen. Natalie was always composed and confident of her role and what she could contribute. She played with many outstanding players while at Southeastern and her skill and efforts made all of us perform better."
At Southeastern, Natalie earned All-Conference honors and, as a senior, helped the Savagettes qualify for the AIAW Division II National Championship.
Brown's statistics at Southeastern were impressive as she posted the fourth-best single-season scoring average at 21.2 points per game and the fifth-best single-season scoring with 633 total points. Those numbers still stand through all of the great players and records of Southeastern's women's basketball.
She was also in the top-10 in field goals made and attempted, free throws attempted and rebounds.
Brown had a great touch on the ball, grabbing many rebounds and softly laying the ball off the glass and into the hoop. That soft touch also added to her success at the free-throw line.
She was an outstanding rebounder, using her 6-1 size to block out so she could either shoot or make effective outlet passes.
Coach Hudson said, "Natalie was a good student of the game who had great anticipation. She was mobile with her good height and many times she was our "go to" person if we really needed to score.
"Like most post players, Brown was knocked around and shoved and held, but she kept her cool and played through it with great determination. She just made her move, turned and scored.
"Even with her ability to score, Natalie was an unselfish player who was happy with an assist or with setting a tough screen.
"She was a team player throughout her career at Southeastern."
Brown coached one year of girls' basketball at Stringtown. She is now married to John Cooksey and there are three children: Mick Brown, Sonya Cooksey and John T. Cooksey. She lives in Spencer, Oklahoma, after having taught in Oklahoma City and other area schools. She spends her time now "just being a grandma."
"I'm very excited to even be nominated for this honor," Natalie said. "I was thrilled to get the call telling me I had been selected. Basketball has been a very important part of my life. It helped me get a college degree and make some wonderful friends.
"I'm thrilled and honored to be inducted into the Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame."
Natalie Brown-Cooksey will be inducted into the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Athletics Hall of Fame at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, August 25.
A reception for the four inductees will begin at 4:30 p.m. Joining Natalie will be Charles Gulley (football and track), Kent Samuel (golf) and Cary Ammons (baseball).

Audiences have never seen anything like an exhaustingly funny Pete George performance as he pinballs through his act, George leaves them laughing so hard they can barely catch their breath. His stage antics take us on a journey that includes hard-hitting jokes, life stories, and even… yes, Rock and Roll. According to one Las Vegas Booker, "He really is the complete comedy package that you simply must see to believe."
Perhaps his off-centered and out-of-step approach to life developed when he was teased as a child, mistakenly labeled learning disabled and placed in special classes. Just minutes into Pete's act he leads us to believe that maybe it wasn't a mistake after all.
Pete got his start in show business as a lead guitarist in a Cleveland based 80's rock group. "We wanted to be like the band A Flock of Seagulls, so we called ourselves A Peck of Peckers". Discovering that being funny was his calling, Pete ventured into comedy competitions and a quick string of wins set off a 20-year career that has included over 7,500 shows at a multitude of venues and corporate events, touring the world, headlining comedy clubs, cruise ships, colleges, military shows and special events. "One time I even opened for the Australian male stripper show Thunder from Down Under", George remembers… "I thought it was a seminar on Irritable Bowel Syndrome".
No slouch as an actor, Pete has appeared in several major motions pictures, including The Shawshank Redemption and The Majestic as well as appearances on Blood relatives, Tabloid, Night Shift, Comedy at Club 54, Now That's Comedy and several national commercials.
Music is an integral part of George's act and he is an accomplished musician. He likes to call himself the "Rock Star of Comedy" but one look at him and we see that he's anything but…. Stay tuned for an upcoming television show in development based on Pete's crazy life and be sure to catch his hilarious comedy CD, Comedy You Can Dance To.
