Writing is a task that no two people do the same way. However, there are some logical steps that every writer seems to follow in the creation of a paper. The process described here outlines those basic steps. Keep in mind that these steps are not exclusive of each other, and at times they can be rather liquid. Also, writers will notice that most of these steps are reciprocal; that is, work done in one area may necessitate returning to a step that you have already "completed."
A. Invention
Getting a paper started is tough for every writer; it's especially hard for a student writer who doesn't get to pick her own subjects: first she must learn about a broad subject area; then, she must find some topic within that broad area to write about, always with limited space and time. And if all this isn't enough, writers also have to develop their own ideas about their topic and explain those ideas with concrete support.
Does this sound familiar? Does it sound impossible? There are many ways to go about "inventing" a short paper; what follows is one very practical process that gets results:
Invention Techniques (from The Allyn & Bacon Handbook)
B. Critical Reading
Critical reading means that a reader applies certain processes, models, questions, and theories that result in enhanced clarity and comprehension. There is more involved, both in effort and understanding, in a critical reading than in a mere "skimming" of the text. What is the difference? If a reader "skims" the text, superficial characteristics and information are as far as the reader goes. A critical reading gets at "deep structure" (if there is such a thing apart from the superficial text!), that is, logical consistency, tone, organization, and a number of other very important sounding terms.
What does it take to be a critical reader? There are a variety of answers available to this question; here are some suggested steps:
Critical reading involves using logical and rhetorical skills. Identifying the author's thesis is a good place to start, but to grasp how the author intends to support it is a difficult task. More often than not an author will make a claim (most commonly in the form of the thesis) and support it in the body of the text. The support for the author's claim is in the evidence provided to suggest that the author's intended argument is sound, or reasonably acceptable. What ties these two together is a series of logical links that convinces the reader of the coherence of the author's argument: this is the warrant. If the author's premise is not supportable, a critical reading will uncover the lapses in the text that show it to be unsound.
C. Thesis Statement
The thesis is usually considered the most important sentence of your essay because it outlines the central purpose of your essay in one place. A good thesis will link the subject of an essay with a controlling idea. Consider, for example, the following thesis:
People in the past spent a great deal of effort protecting themselves from witches.Subject: people feared witchesControlling Idea: people spent a great deal of effort protecting themselves
In a short essay, a thesis statement appears at, or near, the end of the introductory paragraph of the paper so that readers know the topic of the essay before they see the writer's statement of the central purpose of the essay. This way the first paragraph helps the reader understand why the writer is writing.
A thesis should be narrow in focus in order to allow the fullest exploration of its issues as possible, and it should reflect the type of paper that follows, whether it be persuasive or informative. Narrowing the focus of the thesis may require posing questions about it to yourself before committing to a final version.
What follows is a method for writing thesis statements that many writers have found useful (The Allyn & Bacon Handbook).
Few writers finish a paper writing about the exact topic they begin with. While you write a paper, your main point may change. As you're finishing, make sure your thesis statement has changed along with the subject and controlling ideas of your paper.
D. Organization
When writers talk about organization, they are talking about arranging thoughts systematically in an orderly, functional way in order to create a harmonious or united action. Your paper should be arranged so that your purpose is clear, your thesis logically stated and developed, and your final conclusion plainly drawn from the preceding material. Of course, different kinds of papers call for different organizations. A paper arguing a political position will be organizationally different from a paper explaining the migratory patterns of African swallows. Two kinds of papers that you will encounter often are the informative paper and the argumentative paper.
Informative paper
The informative paper basically states "This is way things are. This is how they work. This is how to use them." This kind of paper will often be organized in one of the following ways:
Argumentative/Persuasive paper
The argumentative paper states a premise and then gives support for that premise. This kind of paper will often be organized in one of the following ways:
One of the most common problems of organization is including extraneous material. As you are composing the body of your paper--perhaps following the structures illustrated above--make sure that every paragraph you write puts forward the idea of thesis. If a paragraph does not clearly support or further the argument of the thesis, it does not belong in the paper. Following this rule will prevent you from discussing unrelated material. Remember, always keep the thesis in mind.Once you have organized your thoughts, you should begin to think about crafting paragraphs and introducing and concluding your paper.
E. Crafting Paragraphs
A paragraph is a group of sentences that are related to each other because they all refer to a controlling idea; this idea is often expressed in a topic sentence, a sentence that functions in a paragraph much like a thesis statement functions in a paper. Paragraphs work together to develop the controlling idea established by the thesis. Consider the following example:
The paragraph is a unit of organization and development. This structure is used to fully explore set of sub-topics that a thesis statement suggests. Each paragraph develops a specific idea that supports the thesis statement; it also connects that idea to the other ideas presented in the paper. Paragraphs can develop and unify a set of ideas in many different ways: writers must simply make sure that their reader understands how all the paragraphs in a paper work together to achieve the writer's purpose.
Hopefully, you will collect several of these items into a paper of some kind. How you store your paragraphs is very important. Each paragraph must be separated from the others by means of indentation. Remember that each paragraph must also relate its distinct idea about the thesis to the ideas developed in other paragraphs.
Decide what the paragraph will deal with:Since each paragraph begins with a specific purpose (to explore a distinct sub-topic of the thesis), each topic sentence should be specific and clear. The organizational pattern of your paper (based mainly upon the type of paper you are writing) will help you decide what issues you should deal with and in what order to deal with them.
Think about all the issues that this paragraph should deal with:Each sentence within a specific paragraph must support the idea posited by the topic sentence. As you reflect on a particular paragraph, ask yourself, "What are the issues involved in this topic? How does this relate to my overall controlling idea? Do my sentences adequately explore this topic sentence?"
Think about the purpose and tone of your paragraph:Each paragraph must provide a thorough analysis of its topic. If a paragraph provides information that is not directly related to the thesis, revise or eliminate the extraneous information. Ask yourself whether each paragraph contributes to the focus and tone of the entire paper and follows the map laid out in your thesis.
Be efficient with your sentence development in your paragraph:A paragraph is not a paper. Each paragraph represents a separate step towards a general conclusion about your topic. To that end, each paragraph should develop its idea with as many (or as few) sentences as necessary to make its point clear. Many of you have heard that a paragraph can be considered a "miniature essay" in which there is an introduction (topic sentence), some supportive materials (the sentences of the paragraph), and a conclusion (a concluding sentence). This structure works, but keep in mind that regardless of sentence length or number your main goal is efficiently and completely examining individual ideas.
Revise your paragraph organization as you develop your paper:It may be that your thesis will change as you develop your paper; consequently, topic sentences for your paragraphs must change with it. Don't hesitate to discard vague or tangential ideas in favor of more direct ones. Also, make sure each paragraph moves your paper toward its goal, whether it be informative or persuasive. Finally, make sure each paragraph is part of a logical sequence of ideas that are linked by transitions.
Believe it or not there are more than one type of paragraph. You may want to investigate some of the intricacies of the introduction and conclusion varieties.
F. Word-processing
G. Revision
Revision tends to be divided into two categories, changes that alter the meaning of a text and changes that leave meaning intact. Think of how many changes you can make to a piece of writing.
Since there are so many things a writer can do to a text and, often, so little time, it makes sense to make those changes that will make the meaning of your writing more clear to a reader. There are, of course, lots of ways to figure out how to revise a particular piece of writing; every writer is different. What follows is a method that works, either on a whole paper or on a paragraph.
Revision Checklist
Words like thesis, organization, paragraph, coherence, and comma splice, don't exist just to make your life miserable. All of these terms define the effects of a piece of writing. That is, a paper with a well-defined thesis lets a reader know where it's going; a well-organized paper is one that enables a reader to get from beginning to end without getting lost. Your handbook or a Writing Center tutor can help you describe the effects of your writing (probably using terms like those listed above), but only you can decide to make your writing more meaningful or effective. A revision checklist like the following one can help you write a better paper, but only if you understand what makes effective writing and are willing to make changes.
Check your draft for the following devices:
Checking for these devices is one way of making sure that your paper sticks to and develops a single idea. Of course, a list cannot replace your commitment to communicating with an audience. If you are not trying to affect your reader with an idea or two, perfect structure and grammar will only go so far.
Revision Exercise
Look at a piece of writing that you are revising. Work through each of the steps, starting at the top and moving down the list. Make sure that you determine carefully where communication breaks down and how you can go about reestablishing it. Sketch in a solution before setting off on a re-write.
H. Documentation
In MLA documentation style, you acknowledge your sources by keying in brief parenthetical citations in text and corresponding this with an alphabetical list of work you have cited at the end of the paper.
In-text citations
There are two ways by which to acknowledge your source. You may wish to quote or paraphrase. Look at the following examples.
Direct Quotation
Author in reference
Paraphrase or Summary
I. Proofreading
Proofreading is part of a larger process called revision, a process that is worth thinking about. Proofreading deals with surface changes; that is with changes that don't alter the meaning of a text. Since there are so many things a writer can do to a text and, often, so little time, it makes sense to make those changes that will make the meaning of your writing more clear to a reader before focusing on surface changes. Still, a paper must be proofread before it is handed in to an academic audience. In college, great ideas only get a writer so far. What follows is a process that many writers use to make certain that their writing is ready for a critical audience.
J. Online Resources
There are close to one hundred web sites where one can find self-help documents on the writing process. Many are gopher-based collections; a few are true hyperlinked writing guides that allow the user to follow links to different topics as she makes her way through the various stages of a writing project. Materials available vary widely in quality, presentation, and degree of detail. Here are some links:

Dongzhen Li "The Subway Time" (2009)
The Subway Time is the first animated short I have featured from the Beijing Film Academy. The CG piece from Dongzhen Li is initially notable for its carefully drawn studies of predominantly young people in the morning underground train, each with their own peculiarities and characters, drawn in a slightly stylised anime or manga form – shorthand terms I admit for a complex body of work. I initially thought the drama might restrict itself to a sort of documentary approach, perhaps develop into a romance. Well to an extent the second is true though not before Dongzhen takes us on a frantic, eye-dropping adventure with train crash and fuzzy little men invading the carriages as passengers fight back or flee. As the accompanying making of video demonstrates the technical skill demonstrated here is first class from an obviously talented student. Were I to state a preference I should ask for more observational humour or drama (eating sandwiches, pulling faces, playing with ipod, train crash) than fuzzy aliens but watching the film with others I was outvoted by many to one. (What an alien actually looks like has taxed many directors from Steven Spielberg downwards.) Here the aliens are treated with humour even at the end after the credits and Dongzhen handles the young couple's flight rather well I felt. He asks on Vimeo for us to enjoy it!! I did.

The video is very high quality in story and concept. The "making of" proves he took no shortcuts in in the design and execution. It's hard to explain to new animators that all those steps are necessary and that they are actually seen in the resulting video. A fine example of both.
Thanks for finding it.
Be Well.

A very fine example and fun too. I received the following extra information from Dongzhen: "I'm glad you like it. This is my first short animation and my graduation film. I'm a college senior will graduate next month.You can call me Dongzen , my Chinese name.
"Li" is the family name.
Maya ,Photoshop, Premiere and AfterEffects is the software I use." I occasionally do work for Adobe and I'm sure they will love this.

|In response to Re: Drain for washing machine backing up
: The hooked end of the hose for the washing machine is placed into the drain. When washer goes into cycle where water is drained out, it empties some ( only a few seconds ) then starts backing up out of the drain and water runs onto floor. I used wire to run down to unclog whatever, but that did not work. What shall I do?
If the drain isnt blocked and it still backs up the pipe it drains into might be not long enough(it should be 36 inches long).If this dosent fix it post back and Ill see if I can help you.Good luck Mike

BlogFriends, I Need Your Help.
MaineFare is this weekend, and 11 of the 12 spots in my vegan cooking class are still available. From 11am-1pm on Saturday, September 12, I'll be at the Blackberry Inn in Camden, making Caribbean Corn Chowder and Flaky Squash Biscuits, and discussing the practicalities and joys of vegan dining in Maine. It will be sunny and cool, perfect weather for strolling Camden's shops and picturesque harbor.I'm thrilled the midcoast Maine foodies who host MaineFare decided to include a vegan cooking class, and I don't want it to be a flop. If you can join me this weekend, I'd love to cook, eat, and talk with you! If you can't be there, please recommend the event to any New England friends who may be interested in vegan cooking. Tickets are available online until midnight Thursday, and at MaineFare events beginning Friday evening.Thanks for all your support and kind wishes during the last couple of weeks regarding our move. I've got several posts in the works, so things will be back to normal soon!

On this year's municipal election on Nov. 3, all citizens of the county that reside within the cities will vote on two separate tax questions concerning the Castle Valley Special Service District. The first question will ask voters if the District should be authorized to issue and sell $12.5 million of general obligation bonds over the next 10 years. These bond funds will be used to construct new facilities and replace old infrastructure. The second question will request that the voters continue the existing authorization of the operation and maintenance tax rate of .001 which is used for road maintenance and the day-to-day operation of the District.
The $12.5 million of general obligation bonds would be used to continue the District's existing construction program for capital improvements. The professional staff and board of the District have studied and weighed the needs of the various communities making up the District for water, sewer, secondary irrigation, road work, and curb and gutter.
A facility plan has been prepared looking into the District's and cities' needs for infrastructure improvements for the next 20 years. This study identified some $53 million of needed projects. The most critical projects will be identified in cooperation with the mayors and city councils of each community in the District and funded with the $12.5 million of voter approved bonds, should the bond pass.
Most of the new bond funds would be used for the construction of new roads and for construction of new curb and gutter. New storm drainage systems would be constructed along with new sewer lines which will be upgraded and extended into areas not presently being serviced. Old culinary lines will be replaced and new lines will be extended into areas not presently having service. Secondary irrigation systems will also be expanded and new screens will be constructed to help eliminate plugging problems.
The District proposes to issue and sell the $12.5 million of bonds without increasing property taxes. However, the taxes presently being paid for repayment of debt would be extended for a longer period of time. The existing debt of the District will be paid off in 2015. If the new bond issue is passed the final year of repayment would be approximately 2027. The bonds would be repaid without increasing the tax rate; however, the length of time that the taxes would be paid will be extended.
In 2001, the voters of the Service District authorized $12 million of general obligation bonds for similar purposes. All of the bonds were sold and projects built as intended. Some of the bonds were sold to the State of Utah at interest rates as low as 0 percent; also, more than $6 million in grant money was obtained and applied to the projects. As time has gone by, the District has retired most of this debt, so that at the present time, the final scheduled bond payment will be on Jan. 1, 2015. The District now estimates that the new bonds will be issued in such a manner as to pay them off within 18 years without any need to increase property taxes.
In the past, the voters of the District have approved four previous bond elections. In 1977 a bond for $5 million was approved, in 1981 a $15 million bond issue was approved, in 1994 a $10 million bond was issued, and in 2001 a $12 million bond issue was approved. In addition to the bond money issued, the District has been able to obtain approximately $26 million in grant and interest earnings, so that over $68 million has been spent on much needed projects to date. This new bond election will allow the District and each community to continue with the planned construction programs. Without the approval of the bond all of the District's construction projects would be stopped.
The administrative control board of the District has weighed various financing alternatives and feels that the voted general obligation bond is the most economical and cost effective method of financing the projects. It allows for citizen participation in the process and brings the lowest net interest cost on the financing. Bonds can be issued in series to dovetail into our existing debt service plan with no substantial increase in taxes. This is accomplished by extending the time frame of our existing short debt service plan. The use of general obligation bonds allows for the participation of the District's large industrial tax base in the repayment of the bonds. Currently, the industrial tax base accounts for about 83 percent of the District's total tax base.
The District will continue to seek low interest loans and construction grants from the State of Utah as appropriate. Wherever possible, the District will apply for federal and state grants to increase and leverage the use of the bond funds.
The other question that the voters will decide upon concerns the District's taxes that they use for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of District operations. A large portion of this tax money is also used for the maintenance of the city streets.
The District's budget for operating and maintenance has been largely supported by the previously voter approved property tax levy of .001. At this time, the voters are being asked to continue the same tax rate into the future. There is no tax increase, only the continuation of the existing tax already in place. This is extremely important to the District to be able to continue their existing operations.
The voters of the District have previously approved Operation and Maintenance taxes in 1976, 1985, and 2001. At the time these taxes were approved, they had expiration dates attached to them. This election will extend those expiration dates and allow the District to continue its normal operations. Again, no tax increase will be required but the existing taxes will be extended throughout the life of the District.
If this election does not pass, the District would have to significantly raise the current water, sewer, and secondary irrigation fees. The area currently enjoys some of the lowest water and sewer rates in the area. Also, the road maintenance program would not be funded and would have to be stopped.
The District plans to hold a series of public information meetings in each community within the District to give details and answer questions on these two tax election propositions. All citizens of Emery County residing in the District are encouraged to study each of the propositions carefully and come to meet with the District, your mayor, and city council to get your questions answered. The meeting schedule is as follows:
Meetings were held in Elmo, Clawson and Cleveland at their September meetings. They will meet in Ferron Sept. 24. at 7 p.m. In Castle Dale on Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. In Orangeville on Oct. 8 at 8:30 p.m. Emery-Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. Huntington Oct. 21, 6:30 p.m.

By JESSICA HILLStudent Writer
The explosion reverberated through the cement room in the basement immediately after an accidental flip of a switch caused the water heater in Merrill Swasey's home at Wilberg Was to ignite. His niece Amber Williams and her son Hunter were visiting during spring break three years ago. They had gone to visit the dinosaur quarry.
Upon returning home, Hunter remembered, "Mom wanted a shower, but it was only cold water, so my uncle flipped a switch on the water heater and it blew up." Duane Merrell, a former teacher at Emery High School, was burned severely, along with his niece and her four year old son.
After lying by the open door for what seemed like an eternity before the EMTs arrived, they were life-flighted to the University of Utah Burn Center. "I didn't look like Hunter's mom," recalled Amber. "He was scared of me at first." As patients in the burn center for eight and a half weeks, Hunter, his mom, and their uncle underwent several surgeries. When they were finally able to eat solids, Hunter's first food request was Cheetos and root beer, two things they didn't have in the hospital cafeteria; the nurses had to make a trip to the store.
As a lover of superheroes, Hunter has been able to be a superhero to his family. His mom retold of a day when Hunter came up to her with his hands on his hips, looked her right in the eye and said, "Mom, if we're gonna get better we just gotta do it." Hunter never gave up and kept his mom optimistic as well. He got better and he did it with a smile.
Today, these individuals have recovered fully, but the scars that remain are constant reminders of what they survived. But those scars haven't discouraged Hunter in the least bit. In fact, when a photographer airbrushed his picture to eliminate the appearance of scars, he told him he liked his real picture better. "He's proud of who he is," his mom said. "He is who he is and he's not going to let those scars keep him down."
Hunter, now a first grader at Burton Elementary in Kaysville, already has quite the success story. For a writing workshop in his class, the students were asked to write and illustrate a book; Hunter chose to retell his memorable experience. His book, "I got brnde," is a first-hand look at how he felt about what happened that fateful day and the events that followed, including the surgeries he had to undergo.
Copies of his book were sent to young burn patients at the University of Utah Burn Center. His mom said, "He wanted other kids to know that he's okay now and that things will always get better."
The Readers' Club at Emery High School, led by Dianne Carter, invited the published author to give a short presentation and hand out copies of the book for the students on April 4. Hunter's grandmother, Sandra Swasey, said, "He was so excited to do it. He couldn't understand why he couldn't come the day after Mrs. Carter called us. He's been practicing his signature for about a month."
For a copy of the book, Hunter asked for a $2 donation; this little boy with a big heart committed to send all the proceeds to the Burn Center. Many Emery students donated more than $2 for a single copy of the book.
The Readers' Club handed the 7 year old Hunter a check in his name for $250. In expected first grade fashion with a wide grin, he simply but sincerely said, "Thanks."
Hunter quoted Yoda when he said, "There is no try; only do or do not." His belief in these words has kept him an opitimistic and amazing boy.

"I love it that all the stuff that got me in trouble as a kid, keeps me employed as an adult"
Check him out hosting the new weekend show "Loudwire" which airs Sundays at 7pm.

An American rock band originally formed in 1973, however, over the years the band has made several changes with its members and today the band consist of Neal Schon, Ross Valory, Jonathan Cain, Deen Castronovo, and Arnel Pineda. The greatest success was from 1977-1999 with lead singer Steve Perry and albums Infinity, Trial By Fire and Revelation, 1982 and 1983 brought them a number one and number two charted albums, Escape and Frontiers, with singles "Don't Stop Believin," "Who's Crying Now," "Open Arms" and "Faithfully." After lead singer Perry left the band in 1998, there were several lead singer changes. In 2007, they found Arnel Pineda on YouTube singing Journey covers and found him to have an uncanny singing resemblance to Perry. They quickly hired Pineda and have toured together since. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Journey concert tickets.
Just last year the band, who are by now getting up in years, (with the exception of Arnel), are still rocking like it was still the 70's. While many fans are still mourning the lost of lead singer Perry, the "new" Journey is still packing the arenas full. The set list for this tour changed with every venue, keeping all the old and new fans on their feet, losing their voices from singing along to every song. They have the same energy as they always have, and show no signs of stopping.
With over 40 years in the music industry, Journey once again takes to the road touring with The Steve Miller Band, starting in Chula Vista, CA on May 15th and ending in Irvine, CA on August 2. The fans bring memories, and are hardly disappointed, while Journey brings their energy, boisterous sound, and a willingness to let it all come alive one more time. Featured songs are "Majestic," "Anyway You Want It" and what is now considered their anthem song, "Don't Stop Believin."
Top cities to host these American rock stars is Hollywood, CA on May 16th at the Hollywood Bowl, San Antonio, TX on May 22nd at the ATT&T Center, Dallas, TX on May 25th at Gexa Energy Pavillion, Toronto, ON on June 19th at the Molson Amphitheater, Kansas City, MO on July 14th at the Starlight Theater, Seattle, WA on July 19th at the White River Amphitheatre and Lake Tahoe, NV on July 30th at Harveys Lake Tahoe.
Mixing old with new Journey brings their greatest hits alive starting with "Wheels In The Sky," "Lights," "Stone In Love," "Lovin', Touchin', Sqeezin'" and "Faithfully."

Allow citizens to choose what laws to obey
I think it's great that Sheriff Dennis Spruell has decided that he has "discretion on what laws to uphold." I think this liberating principle should be extended to everybody. All the citizens of Montezuma County should have discretion on what laws to obey.

Shopping Info
|NRS Men's HydroSkin 1.5 Pants - The Men's HydroSkin 1.5 Pants by NRS are the thickest and warmest of the HydroSkin offerings.

Rouse: New York Philharmonic's Composer-in-Residence 2012-2014(March 2012)
First Season of Two-Year Term includes World Premiere and performances of Phantasmata and Seeing
Alan Gilbert has named Christopher Rouse as the next New York Philharmonic Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence, for a term of two seasons beginning in 2012-2013. Rouse is the second Composer-in-Residence during Gilbert's tenure as New York Philharmonic Music Director, following fellow Boosey & Hawkes composer, Magnus Lindberg.
During his first season in the role, the orchestra will perform three works by Rouse: a world premiere of a concert opener in April 2013, which they will also take on the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour; Phantasmata (1981/85) for orchestra in February 2013; and Seeing (1998) for piano and orchestra, a previous Philharmonic commission, featuring Emanuel Ax for whom it was composed, in June 2013.
Dating back to 1984, the New York Philharmonic has presented 12 pieces by Rouse, three of them commissioned by the orchestra. Of Rouse's music, Alan Gilbert has said: "[He] is one of the most important composers working today. I've recorded a lot of his music, and it has been a very meaningful and a large part of my musical life for a long time. He has a unique voice and is one of the composers who truly hears what he writes. He doesn't leave anything to chance: he actually shapes the sound and the emotional flow of his music in a way that only great composers can."
In addition to these performances, Rouse will advise on the orchestra's new-music series, CONTACT!. The 2012-2013 season of CONTACT! concerts will feature world, U.S. and New York premieres of works by eight creative voices, including the U.S. premiere of Gougalon by Unsuk Chin, and a performance of Counterpoise by Jacob Druckman.

I welcome you on behalf of the faculty and staff at the Tagliatela College of Engineering (TCoE). We take pride in providing our students a well-balanced mix of hands-on education with a strong theoretical foundation that allows graduates to function effectively and confidently in the workplace. Our graduates are highly sought after and known by employers to be work-ready. Our curricula in core engineering and applied science disciplines, combined with strong interdisciplinary coursework, internships in the field, extracurricular activities, and research opportunities, enable our graduates to remain a step ahead of the competition in today's crowded job market.
TCoE is the only private engineering college in the state of Connecticut that offers six nationally accredited engineering and applied science programs (chemical, civil, computer, electrical and mechanical engineering, and computer science).
The buzz is out there beyond Connecticut too as more than half of our incoming freshmen come from out-of-state. We also serve a significant number of international and multicultural students.
Let me highlight a few of our strengths:
- Our curricula expose students to real-world problem solving and decision making using state-of-the-art technology and integrated laboratory experiences. In our hands-on classes students learn theory in the context of working on projects.
- At the TCoE students find a personalized environment with small classes where our faculty will get to know them as individuals.
- Students juggling work schedules and personal obligations can take advantage of evening classes.
- In our freshman Living Learning Community engineering students reside on the same floor of a residence hall, take classes together, and bond with each other.
- Freshmen have the opportunity to study abroad at the UNH campus in Prato, Italy in the fall at the cost of UNH tuition, room and board plus airfare. This is an unparalleled opportunity, especially because engineering study abroad programs are rare. The Prato cohort is a living learning community abroad.
- Our Project to Integrate Technical Communication Habits develops technical communication skills, which are highly valued by employers.
- Through our membership in the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network students have opportunities to develop their entrepreneurial thinking skills.
- Students in most majors have the opportunity to specialize in modern and socially relevant technical areas such as renewable energy, sustainability, wireless communications, and cyber forensics.
- Engineering students do mandatory internships, providing them with real-world experience.
- In our two-semester long senior design projects, many sponsored by companies, engineering students develop team-based solutions to real-world problems.
- Through our partnership with the New Haven Engineering and Science University Magnet School students have the opportunity to mentor middle and high school students in mathematics, science and engineering.
We continue to seek innovative ways to bolster our already solid degree programs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Backhoe Loaders, also known as diggers, are useful for many construction needs. They are large vehicles with a backhoe at one end and a front loader on the other. They support multiple attachments for different jobs such as small demolitions, powering equipment, transporting material, digging holes and paving.
available dig depths
There are not great differences in size from one backhoe to the next. Of all heavy machinery, backhoes vary the least in size from one model to the next. While there are front-end loaders and excavators -- even skidsteers -- that are monstrous in relation to other machines in the same class, there are not incredibly large backhoes nor mini-backhoes.
Renting a backhoe is a good option if a person has a variety of jobs on a site to accomplish, but a limited number of machines. An operator can dig a trench for pipe (sewer, water or gas), for utilities or an operator can dig trench for a drainage system or irrigation. An operator can also use the bucket on the back to dig a foundation or a basement. The bucket on the front end can quickly scoop up spoils and put them in a pile or load them in the back of a dump truck or end or side dump tandem. The front bucket is also ideal for flattening or forming an area within a jobsite. A backhoe can do anything a loader or excavator can do, but on a smaller scale.

This photo is of my Brock/Raborn/Raburn/Rayburn family. The young boy standing is my great-grandfather, Patrick "Pat" Henry Brock. The young woman standing is supposed to be his mother, Irene Matilda (Raborn/Raburn/Rayburn) Brock. Myself and other family members believe that it is true. The girl sitting on the elderly woman's lap most likely is Patrick's sister, Sarah, and the one standing, his sister Nellie. The man sitting and the elderly woman are the ones I need to put a name to. It is possible that the man is Patrick's father, Francis Marion Brock. The older woman could be a grandmother perhaps. That would make her Irena [Ammons] Brock or Rebecca [Rue] Raborn/Raburn/Rayburn. Patrick was born in 1884, which would date the photo to around 1890 to 1895 perhaps. I have this photo on my site under 'Mystery Photos'. I would love to know if that is Francis "Frank" Marion Brock. If there are any cousins out there, I would love hearing from you!
The photo originally had 2 corners missing. It was digitally repaired by Richard Spencer.

Fire comes down from heaven and consumes the sacrifices and burnt offerings—The Lord appears to Solomon and promises to bless the people—The Israelites will prosper if they keep the commandments.

7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.

Today in the U.S., couples have a 1 in 3 chance of their marriage ending in divorce. Common stressors include money, parenting techniques, allocation of housework and (of course) the amount of sex. But did you know that such marital problems can be fixed simply by applying a few principles of economics?
See also: Money matters for the unmarried.
Meet Paula Szuchman and Jenny Anderson. Their book, Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage and Dirty Dishes, uses basic economic tools such as supply & demand, division of labor and allocation of resources to build a roadmap to marital bliss. For example, in any relationship, the resources of time, energy, love and libido are always in short supply. Spousonomics challenges couples to determine what is most important at any one time and then teaches them how best to allocate these limited resources.
Szuchman and Anderson interviewed over 200 couples to formulate their theories and teachings. Now, My Generation is cashing in on their wealth of nuptial knowledge.

Someone did something wrong because a 30 ton shark tank in a mall in Shanghai broke last week, injuring 15 people and flooding the mall
'Tofu construction' is what it's called in China. Shoddy workmanship, substandard materials, corrupt inspectors, the works.ReplyCancel
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about the sharks.ReplyCancel
my first thought was the sharks lolReplyCancel
God, the poor sharkies. I can't stand seeing large animals in cages. Or birds – it drives me nuts.ReplyCancel
I believe 3 sharks died 🙁ReplyCancel
Yeah something tells me those sharks didn't make it. I think it was the shot of the guy taking a picture of the flailing, dying shark on the ground that clued me in.
I always think about that happening though. When I lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee one exhibit in the aquarium is this three story tall fish tank and you walk down a ramp which takes you from the top of the tank to the bottom. I used to always imagine it bursting and the room just filling up with fish and people. Scary though.ReplyCancel
I'm not a huge animal person aka I've never had a pet, not vegetarian etc, but I too thought about the sharks after reading. I mean without water I'm pretty sure they didn't pose much threat to people. Very sad, and turtles too? 🙁
Of course a mall I live near also has questionable and sometimes dangerous living environments for animals, and that's in North America.ReplyCancel
Well, I'll be the first to ask then: Are the people okay? Can you imagine being any one of those people right in front of that 30 ton tank when all that water burst out??? It looked like that one group has a split second notice before it happened — I wonder, was there a huge cracking sound or something?ReplyCancel

Denosyl has also been shown to help protect liver cells from cell death and may help cell repair and regeneration. While best known for supporting the liver in dogs and cats. Denosyl also has a place in supporting brain health! Denosyl could help your best friend live a longer, healthier life. Research is looking into dog aging and associated decreases in levels of SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine) in cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds the brain. Denosyl provides SAMe in a stabilized form to help with brain health and act as a neuroprotector. Dog Brain Health Products Just like in people, as pets age mental acuity may diminish. In dogs this may manifest itself through confusion or personality changes often expressed through being less social. Research is looking into dog aging and associated decreases in levels of S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) in cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds the brain. Both Denosyl and Denamarin provide SAMe in a stabilized form to help with brain health and act as a neuroprotector. Denamarin also provides a bioavailable form of silybin which supports oxidative balance. The new chewable tablets of Denosyl and Denamarin allow dogs to receive SAMe in a tasty treat, eliminating the need to "pill" the dog daily. Additionally, the chewable tablets allow for quicker uptake of the SAMe and less variability between dogs when compared to enteric-coated tablets. While best known for supporting the liver in dogs and cats both Denamarin and Denosyl also have a place in supporting brain health! If you see any of the above behavior changes in your pet, ask your veterinarian if Denamarin or Denosyl could help your best friend live a longer, healthier life. Frequently Asked Questions What formulations of Denosyl are available? Denosyl is available in two formulations for your convenience: Original enteric-coated tablets for cats and dogs and now New tasty, scored chewable tablets for dogs for easy administration. How much Denosyl should I give my pet? Your veterinarian will advise you as to the amount to initially administer. Depending on your pet's response and status, your veterinarian may eventually adjust this amount to meet your pet's individual needs. Remember, Denosyl enteric-coated tablets should not be broken. When increasing or decreasing their administration, adjustments should be done in full tablet increments. Some pets are given Denosyl only for a short period of time, while Denosyl may be used longer in other animals. What should I look for when I give Denosyl? While response varies, owners may note an improvement in their pet's appetite, activity, and attitude. How will my veterinarian monitor my pet's response while on Denosyl? Are there any side effects? Denosyl has been shown to be well-tolerated by both dogs and cats with a wide margin of safety. Can Denosyl be used with other products? Yes, your veterinarian may recommend combining Denosyl with other products and/or dietary modifications. One such product is called Marin™, which can be administered with Denosyl for additional liver support. There are no known adverse interactions of Denosyl with drugs or other supplements. Denosyl may even protect against negative effects on the liver caused by some medications. Are other brands the equivalent to Denosyl? While other S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) products for humans are available in health food stores and over-the-counter in pharmacies, there can be a significant variance in product quality and activity levels of SAMe. Denosyl is the only brand shown to be safe and effective for pets in published US veterinary research studies. Denosyl is a nutritional product produced under manufacturing standards similar to those used by the pharmaceutical industry. Since S-Adenosylmethionine is made from methionine, should I give my pet methionine? Administration of methionine is not recommended. Providing high levels of methionine to pets with liver compromise may not increase the production of natural S-Adenosylmethionine and has been shown in some cases to increase liver.

The repair shop wants more money than they told me it would cost to repair my car?You can bond out your car. To do so, obtain a copy of the bill from the shop and file a bond for the amount of the final repair bill plus storage charges, if any, with the Clerk of the Circuit Court at 201 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale. The Clerk will issue a certificate directing the shop to release your vehicle. You may wish to ask a police officer to be present when you deliver the certificate to the shop. The repair shop then has 60 days to file a lawsuit against you to recover the money you posted as bond for the repair. If the shop files a lawsuit against you, a hearing will be held and the court will determine how much the shop should receive from the bond money; any amount remaining will be returned to you. If the shop does not sue you within 60 days, the Clerk will return the bond money to you.
The repair shop didn't replace the plug repair after changing the oil in my vehicle; now the engine is blown?We can only seek to recover the amount you paid the shop for the oil change. The resulting damage to your engine and the cost to repair it is considered a damage complaint which can only be addressed through the courts. If you choose to file a lawsuit in court against the repair shop, the maximum recovery in Small Claims Court is $5,000. If your damage complaint is greater than that amount, you should consult a private attorney before you proceed.
The repair shop gave me a warranty after repairing my vehicle, but now they won't honor it?You should file a complaint with us if the warranty provided by the shop is in writing. If the warranty given was oral, you will need to seek to enforce it through the courts.
The repair shop repaired my vehicle last week, and now I'm having the same problem again?If you have already taken your vehicle back to the repair shop that did the work and it will not address the problem, you should file a complaint with us. When doing so, you should provide copies of all documents related to the repair, including estimates, invoices and proof of payment. Note: having the problem fixed by a different shop will cover up and destroy evidence of the original repair shop's work. If your vehicle has been repaired by a different shop, be sure to obtain a written document, signed by the certified auto repair technician of the second shop, which clearly states what work the technician determined the original shop did or did not do. This written document should then be submitted as part of the complaint you file with Consumer Protection.
My vehicle has been at the repair shop for three months and they haven't begun making the repairs?If no work has been performed, you should remove your vehicle from the repair shop's premises at once. If the repair shop demands payment before it will release your vehicle, follow the instructions for bonding out your vehicle.
I brought my vehicle to a repair shop and they refused to give me a written estimate?The Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act requires that a written estimate be provided if the repairs will exceed $100, unless the vehicle was towed to the repair shop or you specifically waive your right in writing to receive a written estimate. If the repair shop refuses to provide a written estimate, call the police. The law requires that the repair estimate must contain:
The repair shop refused to give me a final invoice or receipt for my cash payment?The Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act requires that a repair shop provide a customer a written invoice upon completion of the repair work, and the repair invoice must include:
If a repair shop refuses to provide a final invoice or receipt, call the police. Check the invoice carefully to make certain that you understand the work that was performed and what you are paying for. Keep a copy of all work orders and receipts. Any guarantees or warranties provided by the repair shop should be in writing and be on the repair invoice or receipt.

Skip to comments.Harry Reid's filibuster plan and the Supreme Court (Reid to make good his threats)
Posted on 01/03/2013 12:53:20 PM PST by pabianice
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has announced he will begin the new Congress today by violating Senate rules and forcing through a set of procedural changes that will undermine Senate conservatives' ability to influence legislation. But the "Reid Plan" will have its most dramatic impact on presidential nominations, especially for the Supreme Court.
The Senate is a unique legislative body that protects the rights of individual senators both to debate and to amend. These rights are valued so highly that it takes a supermajority -- today, 60 votes -- to deny fellow senators those rights. This higher vote threshold and the prospect of extended debate encourage deliberation, compromise and moderation.
Many Senate liberals want to gut this long-standing protection for minorities. Buried in the Reid Plan is a new rule, the "standing filibuster requirement," that will allow a partisan majority to shut off deliberation and pass legislation by a bare majority. Disguised as a debate-promoting measure, this new plan is actually just a mechanism to eliminate the higher vote threshold that has long been required to proceed to final passage of bills and nominations.
This spells the effective end to minority rights in the Senate. Today's 60-vote bar to end debate will be gone, and the Senate will be transformed into President Obama's rubber stamp.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
All the more incentive to win back the Senate in 2014.
One more check on my "this is fascism" list for the so called Deomcrat ( Nationalist Socialist) Party.
Good Briefing:
You see there are no minority opinions allowed in the United States of Zimbabwe Congress. Minority opinions are what fascists say they are.
You would think Harry would be smart enough to realize that he has seven democrat senators from Red states that are in serious danger of losing in 2014, and once the filibuster is gone, it's gone...for future senates where democrats are the minority as well...
Bill Frist was afraid to do this and W's nominees languished in limbo.
Reid will pay for his perfidy.
Sessions said if Reid did this the GOP would shut the Senate down.
Ried is just a "useful idiot" for Obama. This is all part of Obama's agenda to "BURY THE CONSTITUTION" -— as it is reportedly stated, that he told Putin, in spite of Putin's own warnings about Obama's agenda....
Read this for more history: http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1299.htm
The greatest enemy of America is a domestic one....
Wait where are the "Concerned" Senators? Where is the Media outrage....What No gang of 14? Sen. Grahamnesty is fine with Democrats ending the filibuster?? Oh that's right the Selective Outrage only happens when Republicans are in charge. The RINO's in Washington are fine being the permanant minority in Congress as long as the Dems are their "Friends"......
"Weepy" Boehner did promise that the House would take-up no bills the senate passed after it eliminated the filibuster. But that won't stop Obama's psychotic judicial appointments, will it?
Boehner needs to come out and tell Reid that if he does do this, the House will send the Defense and Social Security budgets and appropriations bills to the Senate and that will be all of the government that will be funded until his tyranny is reversed.
Oh wait.. This is Boehner I'm talking about.. He'll just cry.
If just 3 of them kick the bucket soon ...
Sen Jeff Sessions said that this would happen.
No he won't. Liberal facsists never pay a price for what they do...
Do you think "No-Chin" McConnell won't cave in 2014 when Reid is under 50 Senators and the Mainstream Media screams for "minority rights" that the so vocally did under Bush?
Our side folds before the flop.
We have no stones, no convictions and a media who scares us. I hope that dizbag beats McConnell next election.
Win back the senate? LOL. We will have a hard time hanging on to the House.
Oh, like Lautenberg? Krispy Kreme Christy would probably promote the illegal alien sex criminal working for Mendez to promote.
I don't much think so today....
Inhofe and Coburn....our my state's Senator's.
I'm sorry to say it....Coburn has gone into hiding really....and Inhofe is mute too.
I'm switching to the Independent party....after 30 plus years of being a Pubbie.
He is, but he knows if that did happen the Spinelessicans would agree to put it back in force for "fairness."
I wasn't counting on Christie.
Who is the dictator
So I assume this will apply to gun control also...just 50 votes to push through.
I'm right there with ya Osage, on all counts.
brought to you by those D****heads in GOPe, RNC and putting Mutt Romney on the top of the ticket.
He was a drag down ticket because many republican voters stayed home and we lost an unbelievable opportunity to increase our majority in the House and get a majority in the senate.
Just insane what those tools did and next up will be two black robes that will be ideologically moored to Obama.
Yes Reid will pay.
Reid was re - elected by virtue of the Mafia and the Unions they control.
Harry: Money, Mob & Influence In Harry Reids Nevada is available at Amazon.com. Reid it. ( pardon the pun.)
When one is controlled by the Mafia, one will pay. Harry will pay. The way so many have paid at the hands of the Mafia before.
Each body, House and Senate, write their own rules and seat their own members. Just after the Civil War, the Republican congress actually *refused* to seat many Democrats, and they could do that. So the SCOTUS could not stop Reid from doing this.
The only thing the Republicans can do is threaten the Democrats that if Reid does this, when the senate goes Republican in the future, the Republicans will give the Democrats the same disdain, and there will be at least two years when the Democrats cannot extensively road block *anything* the Republicans wish to do.
And that could spell the end of a vast amount of what the Democrats want.
Bottom line: this is brinksmanship. Mutually Assured Destruction at two year intervals, but only if the Democrats want it. If they reject it, the balance of power continues. But if they embrace it, the Republicans will embrace it too, and *everything* the Democrats have built over the last hundred years may be forfeit.
This could mean the end of the New Deal. The end of the Great Society welfare state. Slashing the size of the federal government by 50% or more, and throwing countless Democrat bureaucrats out of work.
Their choice.
The House can IMPEACH for any reason they wish, the term high crimes and misdemeanors means WHATEVER CONGRESS deems it to be, furthermore Congress has the Absolute Right to LIMIT WHAT the SUPREME COURT has Jurisdiction over, Read The Constitution.

Both musicians vie for the honor of the "father of modern Chicago Blues." Though friends, Muddy & The Wolf were rivals for the top slot, and this spurred on both to top the other and create classics of the genre, including "Spoonful," "Mannish Boy," "Rolling Stone," and "Smokestack Lightning." The Fabulous Thunderbirds join Blues at The Crossroads 2 as the core band backing greats James Connton, Bob Margolin, JJ Grey, Jody Williams, and Kim Wilson.

When it comes to being environmentally responsible, Green Toys could have written the book�on recycled paper of course! Based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Green Toys has really captured what it means to be Earth-conscious in every aspect of their toy business. Using only statewide-sourced recycled materials to produce their eclectic selection of toys, including their soy-based ink, paper and packaging, the company far surpasses California's strict toy safety regulations and environmental laws.
Each cleverly constructed toy contains no BPA, phthalates or PVC and is made of 100% recycled plastic milk containers. Fun fact: with every pound of recycled milk jugs used in the production of Green Toys, enough energy is saved to power a television for three entire weeks! This company is leading the charge in putting the fun in functional; not only are their stylish trucks, race cars and chef sets easy on the eyes, they also send an important message to kids about how to be safe, sound and still have a great time.
Bulky items such as furniture and rugs cost more to ship due to greater size and weight. Therefore, a delivery surcharge will be billed in addition to the standard shipping charge.
Surcharge amounts vary. The surcharge amount is noted on each product detail page.
