The Dotcom Bubble Burst
THE SO-CALLED DOTCOM Boom and Bust has to be looked at in the light of bottom line reality: with stunning efficiency, at relatively little cost - a few billion dollars - the credibility of the Net, to independent businesses, and to a generation or two of independent creatives, was destroyed, burnt down to the ground. Hopes were driven skyhigh, then brought crashing down. When the "Bubble Burst", it represented a catastrophic emotional, financial and infrastructual failure.
Who was really hurt? Certainly, the source of venture capitalists' capital were by and large unfazed - huge corporations and the superwealthy... The reputations of some previously established high fliers - marketing and ad agencies, design firms, and the like - may've been tarnished, a few crushed. Of course, all of the traditional businesses and careers that flourished during the Boom phase, lost - but their loss was only a moment earlier their gain. Easy come, easy go.
In the end, it seems the creative artists and programmers, and the independent businesses - which includes all but the big multinational conglomerates - who would normally have funded many fresh, "unconventional" new media ventures, were beaten down decisively.
Even as a raft of legislation starts to surround and suffocate the commons of the "free Internet", a vast army of new school talent, and their financial backers, have been neutralized - or more like, paralyzed. A vague but threatening, potentially vast and virulent competitive threat to established big money interests is, for now, no more.
Smothered by money. Killed by cash.
For what it's worth, allowing your spirit to be broken is unacceptable. Life cannot be sustained for long in the absence of passion. So, there it is...hope in action.

RE:wooly buggers for sale
I think it's cool that you sell flies thru your college days. We are all for supporting tomorrow's workforce. I do however have an obligation to tell you that this area of the board is for posting fly patterns, not advertisements.
I don't mind you posting ads because you're a student, but you should know that the common protocol for such postings is to ask first.
If you post the recipes for these flies, I'd love to keep this message on the board. Otherwise I am afraid I'll have to move this message out of the fly archive.
thanks for your contributions in the warmwater board,

text: I need to pick the collective brain of RTF for a decent Coyote shooting setup...I don't need or want to have to mortgage the house on this setup so basic out of the box setups would be ideal, but I'd like something reasonable that can reach out and put a world of hurt on them. They are getting a little too brave for my tastes. They actually woke me up the other night and we are starting to see "trails" out in the fields where they are traveling down to the little valley we have. We can shoot them at night here too. I'd like to be able to take care of the racoons and skunks with this setup, too - think they got into a pigeon coop the other day. Our new place does have some houses on 5 acre lots on one side, so I need something powerful enough to bring a yote down at a reasonable distance, but nothing too powerful to need a blasting permit!

Sonia DELAUNAY
Sonia Delaunay (b Gradižsk, Ukraine, 14 November 1885 – d Paris, 5 December 1979) studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe from 1903–05 before moving to Paris to study at the Académie de la Palette. In 1910 she married her second husband, fellow artist Robert Delaunay.
In 1911 she began to experiment with abstract patterns, producing fabrics known as 'simultaneous contrasts' to make collages, book bindings and clothes. She spent the rest of her career exploring how forms and colours interact, particularly in fabric.
The Delaunays travelled to Berlin to exhibit at the first German Salon d'Automne at Der Strum Gallery, and at the outbreak of war in 1914 moved to Madrid and Portugal. Sonia had studied dances such as flamenco and tango before meeting Diaghilev, who helped her launch a career in design, particularly fashion. In 1917 he asked her to create costumes for the Ballets Russes revival of Cléopâtre (1918). She opened a clothes shop in Madrid in 1918 and designed costumes for the opera Aida at the Liceo Theatre, Barcelona.
Returning to Paris in 1921, Sonia received her first order for her 'simultaneous' textiles and by 1925 was showing her designs in her Boutique Simultanée at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs.
She continued in theatre in collaboration with her husband until his death in 1941. Sonia also began to produce costumes for film, beginning with Marcel L'Herbier's Le Vertige in 1927. She worked in costume design until 1968, when she produced costumes and stage sets for the Ballet Théâtre d'Amiens performances of Igor Stravinsky's Danses concertantes.

This is the first Log Cabin quilt I have made.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This is the first Log Cabin quilt I have made.
That's a beautiful quilt, great job.
Love it - beautiful colour (purple is my favourite) - monochromatic quilts are really something...must try one someday.
I love the color & the lay out of your blocks. :thumbup:
That would look great in my bedroom! I love purple and that is a beautiful quilt.
Lovely quilt.
Very pretty! I love the quilting :D:D:D
Beautiful quilt. I am laughing at seeing your socks by your chair. That happens to me about 9:30 pm...
very pretty and my favorite color too! :D


text: Kotaku reported that 1313 was going to star Boba Fett. They have awesome-looking concept art, one of which includes C-21 Highsinger, the droid that first appeared in The Clone Wars episode "Bounty." So it looked like this was going to be similar to 2002's great Bounty Hunter game. Given that one of the close-but-not-close-enough Clone Wars arcs was evidently going to be about Boba, that's two cool-sounding Boba projects we'll never see. Great.

I used to have a rant on my web page about why I hated network switches, which was constantly sparking geeky conversations beginning with ``but switches are faster!''
Well, now that L3 switches are obtainable on a budget, I've withdrawn my objection, bought an Extreme Alpine 3808 on eBay, and written an even bigger multipage hyperrant about their quirks, unique capabilities, and inevitability. If you'd like to know about flow switching vs. route caching vs. longest-prefix matching, about the relationship between switched DRAM on some PeeCee motherboards and DOCSIS's tiny upload speeds, or about what recent changes to TCP have to do with L3 switching, have a look at my rant.


text: Chrysler announced today that it will begin taking orders for its new 2011 Dodge Charger Pursuit police vehicle. It will be based on the all-new 2011 Charger with real-wheel drive and the option of a standard E-85 capable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, or a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine. The Police package will also include heavy-duty brakes, 18-inch wheels, performance tires, special suspension tuning, front and rear stabilizer bars along with many other features exclusive to the Pursuit models. Even though only one picture has been released, we think it's safe to say that these should cut down on attempted getaways.

When it comes to videoconferencing, no one is pickier than CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Founded in 1954 and straddling the border between France and Switzerland, this massive facility is home to some of the most cutting-edge research in physics.
Home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful partical accelerator, CERN houses research by over half of the world's particle physicists - about 6500 people. They come from over 500 universities in 80 countries.
CERN's staff also includes highly specialized engineers, technicians, designers and craftspeople. All told, about 3000 people are employed to prepare, run, analyze and interpret the complex scientific experiments that make CERN a successful scientific organization.
So when CERN made the decision to retire its proprietary video conferencing system and switch to Vidyo, it made headlines.
According to Dr. Tom Smith, the leader of Collaboration and Information Services Group at CERN's headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, commercial products often lag behind those created by CERN when it comes to capabilities. "Quite often what we do is invent our own because of a need we can't meet," he says.
To that effect, CERN has used a privately developed videoconferencing system since 1996, which has remained in use until this year. This system outstripped anything commercially available for years.
But CERN is not in the business of lagging behind the time, and the researchers kept an eye out for new technologies to service their needs.
In that vein, CERN piloted Vidyo's conferencing gear roughly in 2009 or 2010, he says, to see whether it could scale to the needs of the organization, which supports 250 conferences per day, with 3,000 individuals participating in those conferences. The largest single conference had more than 250 participants, and overall provided connectivity for 3,000 connections of independent users in a day.
While CERN hasn't completely moved over to Vidyo, the product's support for iOS devices and scalable video coding (SVC) makes it very attractive.
The equipment supports devices running Windows, iOS, Linux and Android. In a pinch participants could use smartphones and they have, but that's a last resort as when a conference participant has to catch a plane and the only option is to conference in from the airport, Smith says. Support for iOS devices was something the proprietary system lacked, he says.
CERN is best known to non-scientists as the facility that discovered the so-called "God Particle," also known as the Higgs Boson, in 2012. While the discovery made front page news, most lay people have no idea what the Higgs boson--or any boson, for that matter--even is. According to Jonathan Atteberry at HowStuffWorks.com,
Some physicists have described bosons as weights anchored by mysterious rubber bands to the matter particles that generate them. Using this analogy, we can think of the particles constantly snapping back out of existence in an instant and yet equally capable of getting entangled with other rubber bands attached to other bosons (and imparting force in the process).
Finding the boson was no easy task. It required time, money, communication, and tons and tons of data. As Cornell associate professor Peter Wittich explains,
...the Large Hadron Collider works by smashing beams of protons together, with the collisions recorded by cameras taking 40 million pictures a second. "We think of ourselves as big data pioneers," said Wittich, describing the analysis necessary to find significant events. "It's the ultimate needle in a haystack. Out of 6 million billion collisions there are maybe 100,000 Higgs events, and we can find maybe 1 percent of them."
While Higgs may be the most famous of the CERN experiments, it isn't the only one. Here are a few other projects they are working on.
- ALPHA: A project which makes, captures and studies atoms of antihydrogen to compare to regular hydrogen atoms.
- CAST: A project searching for hypothetical particles called axions, which could explain differences between matter and antimatter.
- OSQAR: An experiment seeking particle components of dark matter in order to explain why our universe is made of matter instead of antimatter.
And not content to seek answers in the tiny recesses of atomic space, CERN researchers are also on a quest to discover a rare archeological find - the very first Web page!
The key to the success of these and other large scale experiments lies in the ability of scientist, researchers and support personel to quickly and efficiently share data and ideas. That's where video conferencing comes in, and that's where Vidyo shines!

Well, I was at Bestbuy today and saw the new "Napster card" and figured, what the heck.
The card itself is similar to the long distance phone cards that are so popular. Here is what I noticed:
The card was preset for $14.85 (good for 15 songs). I didn't see any other types (5 songs $4.95, 10 songs $9.90, 20 songs $19.80 etc). This is a bit of a drawback.
Also it only lets you download individual songs, not whole albums. Though, to their credit, Napster clearly states "15 songs for $14.85" and promises nothing else.
Whole albums are available on Napster, but the price is a fixed rate of $9.95. In other words the cost is not compatible with the cards limit. For example, if whole albums were $9.90 then you would be able to buy 1 album and 5 songs.
Napster really should fix that, if they want to keep the card technology. Here are some options they have. One, they could make empty cards that you charge at the register like many "gift cards". Two, they could do a variety of card types, ie 5 songs, 10 songs, 1 album, 2 albums, etc. The first is a bit more flexible but both have limitations.
That's why I propose that they lower their "album" cost to match the cost of 10 song purchases ($9.90). That would really add to the flexability of their cards.
The biggest advantage is that you can use these cards without having to subscribe or give out credit card info over the net.That is a big plus for internet security junkies.
Now for the really good stuff.
You have to download Napster's software to get started. But the process is fairly simple and easy enough for any rookie.
Privacy is not a problem if you are using the card, just log into an annonamous account and enter the code from your card, you will automatically be credited 15 songs.
The overall use of napster is really good. I like the overall design and most of the features. Though they are lacking in a few things, but that's just personal taste.
Previews are 30 seconds long and napster tells you exactly which CD it is from (ie live, studio, etc). Members don't have to suffer with 30 second clips, they can create playlists with full songs and listen to unlimited streaming music as they choose, but it costs $9.95 per month for a subscription. The upside is that you can log on to your account from any computer and access your own playlists at any time.
Personally, Napster hasn't convinced me to join, just yet.
The sound is fantastic!!!
Downloads are a snap!
Napster also boasts one of the largest music libraries on the internet and it's growing all the time. You can also send and e-mail to them requesting new albums for their library. Who knows if they will be able to get it, but it's worth a shot if they are missing something you really want.
I started off by looking up an old classic, Motley Crue's "Theater of Pain"...not found. Then I moved on to Black Sabbath "War Pigs" to which I found several matches from various Black Sabbath and Ozzy albums, some live some early recordings none from the original release.
After that it was smooth sailing, I even found a few songs from "Boots Randolph"....don't ask.
Radio! Napster claims to have "over 50 fully-interactive commercial-free radio stations programmed by the napster team.". What I wanna know is...Does this only apply to music stations? Can I get talk radio? Yeah, I know, it's probably not a popular feature, but I like to listen to Howard Stern and G. Gordan Liddy. LOL I didn't send an e-mail to find out.
Overall, I have enjoyed my first Napster experience. I enjoyed listening to clips from some of my former favorite bands and downloaded a dozen or so good tracks, mostly older rock/heavy metal.
I still plan on checking out listen.com before making any "long-term" commitments.

WillowRidgeCalls wrote:What exactly are the little animals doing that is disturbing the kids? Are the coming after them? A camera isn't going to help you there, all it's going to do is show you what animals are in your garden at what times. If your children are scared of the little animals, then it up to you to teach them there is nothing to be afraid of, and to stay away from the garden if they are. Your other options is to fence your garden in so animals can't get into it and won't bother or scare the kids, or call the pest control people and have the animals removed permanetly. You last option is not to plant a garden if the kids are that scared of animals or wait until they are old enough to understand that they can't chase or play with the animals?
Not exactly sure just what it is your trying to do, or what you hope a camera will do for you?
Or if your in the city limits get a high power pellet gun and get rid of the animal.

Aztec probably carry some common parts as a convenience to their customers.
My point was that there are dozens of sites where someone can purchase the same items at far less cost than Aztec offers. I used Mouser as an example because they are normally thought of as an expensive option for components, and yet they beat Aztec's price in this particular area. If Aztec wants to succeed, the should revisit their pricing and shipping policies. I would much rather give my money to an independent business than to a large corporation, but not when the price differential is that great (approximately 20% higher). If I can purchase single quantities of parts cheaper than Aztec sells them for, then they need to find a new supplier for their bulk purchases.

Steve Vai Joins Jimi Hendrix Tribute Tour
Steve Vai grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix. Now he's paying homage to his hero onstage. As he prepares for this year's Jimi Hendrix Tribute Tour, the out-of-this-world virtuoso talks about the Sixties guitar god's influence on his music.
"Hendrix had a huge impact on every guitar player that was around back when I was a teenager. While I was in high school, I formed a 'Hendrix' band, and we played nothing but Hendrix songs. So being given the opportunity to go out and play his music as a part of this tour is an offer I simply could not refuse—it's like a life dream for me."
Steve Vai is discussing his upcoming participation in this year's Jimi Hendrix Tribute Tour, an annual event (actually the second tour of 2010, following an earlier Tribute tour that took place in March) sponsored by Experience Hendrix, the family-run company overseen by Jimi's stepsister, Janie Hendrix.
Jimi Hendrix, a visionary guitarist that blazed new trails and pushed the envelope of the very nature of the instrument's capabilities, is one of Vai's earliest and most important influences. And like Hendrix, Vai has drawn from many diverse musical elements to create a strikingly original guitar style, one that, upon his arrival on the scene in the mid Eighties, reset the bar for both technical skill and creative musical freedom. One can hear a variety of Hendrix-isms in Steve's soloing, such as extreme whammy-bar manipulation and flashy explosions of sound and technique. But Steve is no imitator; he has an immediately identifiable sound all his own.
"I went through all of the steps of learning Jimi's music when I was a kid," Vai says. "I loved playing it, and I developed a lot of my chordal technique from him. But I never felt that I should copy, or pantomime, him in my own music. I never saw any use in that because, a) I couldn't do it; and b) I had other things that I wanted to do.
"The most striking thing to me about Jimi was just the fact that he was so colorful—that he was so aware of his own muse—and his imagination flowed freely in everything that he did, such as what he played, what he said, what he wore. His very nature as an artist is what has been so inspiring and influential to me."
Born on June 6, 1960, in Carle Place, New York, Vai started on guitar at 13 and took lessons from a local teacher just a few years his senior, Joe Satriani. The two have remained close through the years and tour regularly, along with other guest guitarists, as G3.
In 1978, while attending the Berklee College of Music, Vai sent a transcription of Frank Zappa's "The Black Page" to the legendary rock icon, along with a tape of his playing. Zappa was duly impressed and hired Steve to transcribe his guitar solos, published in 1982 as The Frank Zappa Guitar Book, and to record overdubbed guitar parts on Zappa's You Are What You Is album. Steve joined Frank's band in 1980 and recorded and toured with him through 1982. In 1984, Vai released the self-produced Flex-Able album, recorded at his Sylmar, California, home studio.
Vai's next two steps would prove hugely important to his stature as a rock guitarist on the rise: in 1985, he replaced the mighty Yngwie Malmsteen in Alcatrazz, with whom he recorded Disturbing the Peace. Later that year, former Van Halen front man David Lee Roth embarked on a solo career, hiring Vai and recording the massively successful Eat 'Em and Smile album, which catapulted Vai to international acclaim. In 1990, Steve released the guitar masterpiece Passion and Warfare, followed by the adventurous Sex and Religion and Alien Love Secrets albums. He has remained remarkably prolific ever since, releasing both new works and compilations of previously unreleased tracks and demos.
Like his mentor Zappa, another of Vai's favorite endeavors is composing for orchestra. His 2007 release, Sound Theories Vol. I & II, featured the guitarist performing his original compositions with the Metropole Orchestra of the Netherlands. At the time of this writing, Steve is putting the finishing touches on his latest orchestral project. "There is a Steve Vai Festival that is taking place in Holland this October," he explains, "with two days of extracurricular activities, like workshops, and a 'Naked Tracks' competition wherein guitarists play my music, and then two days of performances by the NNO, the North Netherland Orchestra. So for the last month I have been feverishly composing orchestral music for this event.
"It was originally planned as a couple of pieces, with me on guitar in front of the orchestra, along with a new big symphonic piece without the guitar. I got the first movement of the symphonic piece done, and now the guitar piece is turning into a symphony, too. I'm finding that I've bitten off way more than I can chew! But there will be a lot of new music performed, and it's very exciting."

Let the flavors of Jamaica—the warm spices, hot pepper and touch of sugary sweetness—mingle all day in your slow cooker with this simple pork roast recipe. It's delicious, mon!
The flesh, ribs and seeds of jalapeño chilies contain irritating, burning oils. So be sure to wear plastic or rubber gloves when chopping them, and be careful not to rub your face or eyes.
For a traditional Caribbean supper, serve with red beans and rice or a flavored couscous.
Pork is often injected with a saline solution to make it more tender and juicy. Read the label, and if your roast has been injected with the solution, leave out the salt in this recipe.

A couple of DAM stories
Good morning,
A couple of Dam stories passed in front of the old radar screen recently. The first is the article in Thursdays Mail Tribune from Southern Oregon, written by Mark Freeman.
The Savage Rapids Dam removal has passed muster in the Congress on Tuesday last. While the Money that it is going to take to do this work was not provided, the project can recieve Fed money as early as next year.
Dan Shepard said the Grants Pass Irigation District's plan is now "credibile" with the authorization of the Dept. of Interior to install pumps for Agg. intrests in the area, then removing the Dam.
This was bi-partisian work between Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith, (Thank's guys!).
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board has $3 Mill. pledged towards the 5 needed to do the Dam removal portion.
The Savage Rapids Dam is 82 years old and spans the Rouge River near the Jackson / Josephine county line.
U.S.F.W. estamates say 22% less Salmon and Steelhead reach the upper parts of the Rouge because of the Dam. That translates to 43+ thousand fewer species per year according to a study done in the mid 90's.
The full story can be found on-line at mailtribune.com.
Here is the other side of the coin.
An article written by Dom Behm in the Millwaukee Journal/ Sentinel in September of this year shows that the Chair Factory Dam that was removed on the Millwaukee River three years ago boosted fish populations and improved water quality!
In shock tests, more diverse fish populations were found in the same areas that were impacted by the dams placement. This held true for the Wollen Mills dam that was removed in West Bend in 1988 and the North Ave Dam, removed in 97'.
In all cases, it seems barier removal improves fish movement and stream bottom habitat. This full article can be found at jsonline.com
I think it's a Dam good thing to get those Dam Dam's out of as many Dam rivers as they can, Dam it!....or....Un-Dam it
Any one else can make there Dam comments here if they chose to:) :D :hehe: ;) :p

Orthodontist services at our center
Invisalign is one of the latest technologies that have greatly revolutionized the medical field and specifically therapy. It involves the process of straightening teeth that seem to be misaligned. When experts conduct the treatment in the best way, it gets hard for anyone to notice whether you went through the same. When compared to braces, Invisalign provides more comfort simply because of the invisibility of the outcome after treatment. For instance, it is one of the most recommended for patients of all ages including teens with the complication.
Facial myofunctional therapy
The myofunctional therapy helps in correcting finger or thumb sucking behaviors, wrong position of the tongue resting position, open mouth resting position. This form of treatment is the best since it is non-invasive at the same time it helps in addressing a number of causes as opposed to the symptoms. Myofunctional form of therapy provides the best results when complemented with orthodontist treatment.
Craniofacial asymmetrical orthodontics
Craniofacial asymmetry treated in conjunction with a chosen team of specialists may require some surgical operations. Syndromes, congenital and developing abnormalities in the jaw are some of the problems addressed under this treatment.
The TMJ orthodontist treatment
This form of therapy also called TMD orthodontist is the best way to relieve pain. It is a highly customized type of therapy for those experiencing pain in the head, face, jaw and the neck regions.
The expansion of jaws
The process in most case applies to growing children since the jaws their respond appropriately unlike when done for the adults. With the help of functional braces, we help patients in achieving a facial profile that is very attractive.

I attended middle school and high school in the east bay, and currently live in San Francisco. For college, I temporarily left northern California to go to UCLA. There I earned degrees in marine biology and music (saxophone performance). While at UCLA, and in between undergraduate and graduate school, I worked on numerous research projects relating to marine ecology and terrestrial habitat restoration. I completed my graduate thesis research in biology at SFSU. My work dealt with speciation in marine fishes, and specifically the genetics of diamond turbot (flatfish) populations from California and Mexico. As a grad student, I also spent a large amount of time studying issues in science education through the Science Education Partnership and Assessment Laboratory (SEPAL) at SFSU. For 2 years I partnered with a teacher from the SF school district to experiment with innovative lessons in general biology and earth science. Since graduate school, I have taught general biology, human biology, and anatomy/physiology at Skyline College, College of Marin, Laney College, and De Anza. Among other activities, during that time I have worked on multiple projects focused on issues of equity and diversity in the classroom, helped re-write general biology and human biology lab curricula, taught in a Learning Community (LinC) involving biology and speech students, published and presented papers in the field of college science teaching, and assisted faculty at multiple schools in writing and implementing Student Learning Outcomes (SLO's) and assessments. In 2014, I was interviewed for a series of professional development videos on active learning. You can see clips from my interview as part of the videos here and here.
Alongside my teaching assignments, I am presently a principal investigator on a National Science Foundation grant called CCB FEST (Community College Biology Faculty Enhancement through Scientific Teaching). CCB FEST seeks to provide more support and a greater sense of community for biology instructors in the bay area, such that they have the resources to reflect on their teaching practice from an evidence-based perspective. I love studying biology and learning about how students perceive the subject. Teaching biology allows me to continually advance my knowledge and apply that knowledge in new situations. By working with students, I get to explore many different perspectives on the nature of science and the relevance of biology to all people's lives!

Election corruption grave threat to Pakistan's media
"Elections will not be fought, but will be bought," is a saying being used by political tacticians in Pakistan. Hope for the legitimacy of the country's first fair transfer of power between two civilian governments with the oversight of unbiased media is disappearing quickly. Billions of rupees are pouring into media outlets through secret sources, journalists and media watch organizations say. The cash is being paid out in several different ways.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Sometimes the road leading to greatness intersects with timing and location along the way.
Maybe Denzel Nkemdiche's college football career ends with greatness. It's certainly off to a good beginning.
His path might have been much different if another college football coach hadn't let location affect his timing.
Nkemdiche, well known in some football circles as the brother of Loganville, Ga., defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche – the No. 1 recruit in the 2013 class – is one of 10 Ole Miss players returning to their home state this weekend when the Rebels visit No. 7 Georgia in Athens.
Both teams are coming off wins, Georgia against then-BCS No. 2 Florida in Jacksonville and Ole Miss against Arkansas in Little Rock.
Nkemdiche – of Loganville, Ga., less than 40 miles from the Georgia campus – had eight tackles, an interception and broke up two passes against the Razorbacks. He leads the Rebels in tackles with 52 and tackles for loss with nine.
He might have been with the Bulldogs if Georgia coach Mark Richt had shown interest in him earlier in the recruiting process.
"They just felt like because they were right there, that they were UGA, that they could wait till the last minute and still get me," recalled Nkemdiche, a redshirt freshman. "When they offered me that just made me want to go to Ole Miss even more. I knew then that I was going to commit to Ole Miss."
There's a different motivation for Mike Hilton, who grew up in Fayetteville, Ga., about two hours from Athens.
Hilton had been like football's version of a Swiss Army knife but has settled in at defensive back, recently cracking the starting lineup, and is one of three true freshmen receiving extensive playing time in the secondary.
A Class 3A honorable mention all-stater, Hilton didn't get to decide between Georgia and Ole Miss. Georgia never offered him.
"Yeah, I met Coach Richt one time. His words were, 'You're a real good player, but we're just going to keep moving on you,' so I was like, 'OK That's fine. I respect your decision, but you'll regret it.' We'll see."
That confidence has served Hilton well at Ole Miss. He's had 11 tackles and a tackle for loss over the last two games. He also broke up two passes against Arkansas.
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze says the excitement level among the Georgia players has been noticeable.
"Some of them will have to calm down a little bit. They're emotional kids, and they're young and excited about going home."
In his first meeting with Hilton, Freeze told him he would play in the secondary.
Hilton, who grew up a Florida State fan, says he'll have no problem channeling his enthusiasm this weekend.
"It's going to be good. I'm going to show (Richt) that he missed out on a good player," he said.
More than one good player, it appears.
'Right decision'
"I feel like I made the right decision. When they did jump on me, they jumped on me and stayed with me through the long run. That played a huge part," said Nkemdiche, who was recruited by Houston Nutt's staff.
Georgia's timing left Nkemdiche with no hard feelings.
"It wasn't really an insult. They wanted what they wanted, and that was on them, and it is what it is now," he said.

RNC Chair Steele to hold dialogue with Glaude
Posted February 8, 2010; 02:00 p.m.
Michael Steele, chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), will participate in a conversation with Eddie Glaude, chair of Princeton's Center for African American Studies, at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22, in McCosh 50.
Steele was elected the first African American leader of the Republican Party in January 2009. The discussion will cover topics such as his vision for the nation, his understanding of race in the 21st century, the complex intersection of race and poverty, and the role of partisanship in Washington
"Whether one agrees with Michael Steele or not, his chairmanship of the RNC is historic, and his voice is shaping the course of our nation in these challenging times," Glaude said.
As RNC chair, Steele has focused on actively engaging Americans in their local communities and empowering state and local Republican organizations to do the same. A self-described "Lincoln Republican," he was elected lieutenant governor of Maryland in 2003, becoming the first African American elected to statewide office there.
The event is the latest in an ongoing effort by the Center for African American Studies to convene conversations with noted public figures across a wide range of issues. Recent speakers brought to campus by the center include actor and social activist Harry Belafonte, Bishop T.D. Jakes and environmental justice advocate Majora Carter.
Members of the news media who would like to attend the event should RSVP to Jennifer Loessy at the Center for African American Studies no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling (609) 258-3216. More information about the event is available in a news release.

Is there a TUT here that I could use? Even though I've had this software for awhile now, I haven't been working with it, so don't have a clue where to begin.
I wish this kit had come out in another form so that I could use it in the product I do use which is Serif's Craft Artist. This is a great software program and one that is eay to master.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Joyce, a newbie here
PS Love your products and freebies


text: Not all 400 yard marks are the same. Some stand out and are clearly viewable, some can't be seen at all. In training we often throw a bird a few times before attempting a dog, too test visibility. I want to get the most out of it for the dog and be fair to them. While distance is important, I want to train to success and sometimes conditions just don't allow for distance. I'd rather do 200 yards and get something out of it vs 400 and get nothing

For many years now, Rhode Island College seemed to be my home. I double majored in Math and Psychology as an undergraduate, finished in 3 years and immediately continued on for my Master's in Mathematics. The math department faculty was wonderful to work with and I was pleased to receive the teaching assistantship during my last year.
I took some some time off over the summer and spent a month in New Mexico studying Kundalini Yoga. It was a great experience and vacation after so many years as a student without a break.
In January of 2009 I began work as full time faculty for CCRI on their beautiful Newport campus. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the dedicated teachers at this community school. I plan on working in this community for many years to come.
At 25 years old, my accomplishments have given me a great career and a determination to continue to succeed in life. Special thanks to Dr. Humphreys, Dr. Abrahamson, and Dr. Kovac for being such wonderful professors during my academic career. Also to Megan DiBonaventura, a great friend and peer, currently adjunct and staff at RIC, who encouraged me to continue and not give up during the challenging moments in the program.

Looking for a clever edible gift? "Frosty" is easy to make and delicious to munch for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Bread machine yeast was introduced in 1993. It's a special strain of instant yeast, packaged in jars, to end confusion about what kind of yeast works best in bread machines. The granulation is finer, so it's dispersed more thoroughly during mixing and kneading.
Gift a family with fun! Package the unfrosted baked bread, a container of vanilla frosting and packages of decorations begging to be used.

A West Point think tank responsible for training future U.S. Army officers has released an extensive report warning of a growing domestic threat from "far right" conservative groups it says are prone to violence. The study, authored by Arie Perliger of the U.S. Military Academy's Combating Terrorism Center, is entitled Challenges From the Sidelines: Understanding America's Violent Far-Right, and while much of its focus appears to center on white supremacist and Aryan/"Christian identity" groups, it also targets groups that value the personal liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and emphasize the need to limit the power of the federal government.
These "anti-federalist" groups, as Perliger labels those who embrace a limited, constitutionally defined role for government, "espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals' civil and constitutional rights," Perliger writes in his report. Additionally, they "support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government."
Perliger, whose report was first noted by the Washington Times, makes a broad distinction between Americans who embrace conservative, Americanist values, and those committed to liberal-leftist ideologies, arguing that while "liberal worldviews are future- or progressive-oriented, conservative perspectives are more past-oriented, and in general, are interested in preserving the status quo." He goes on to charge that the "far right represents a more extreme version of conservatism, as its political vision is usually justified by the aspiration to restore or preserve values and practices that are part of the idealized historical heritage of the nation or ethnic community."
Among the peculiar characteristics of the "anti-federalist" crowd is a strong belief in the sovereignty of the United States, along with the conviction that "the American political system and its proxies were hijacked by external forces interested in promoting a New World Order in which the United States will be absorbed into the United Nations or another version of global government."

Ingomar's Dillard among signees for ICC softball
Itawamba Community College head softball coach Andy Kirk made a big splash in the early stages of the signing period landing area standouts Maddy Lukens of Saltillo, Arriann Henry of North Pontotoc and Ingomar's Heather Dillard on Friday.
"This is a great start to the signing period," said Kirk. "Maddy, Arriann and Heather will add a lot to our line up next season and will also be valuable assets in the leadership role for us both on and off the field."
Lukens, a shortstop, batted .444 as a junior with 23 runs and 17 RBI on 8 doubles and 3 triples. Her .487 on-base percentage and .900 fielding percentage helped her earn North Mississippi Daily Journal All-Area, All-Division and Class 5A All-State honors.
"I'm so excited to be able to continue my softball career and get a great education to go further in life," Lukens commented. "My sister played at ICC and it's really important to our family to keep that legacy going and to be close to home."
She is the sister of former Lady Indian pitcher Chelsea Lukens, who earned MACJC All-State First-Team honors as a freshman and sophomore along with being named to the NJCAA All-Region 23 team while being nominated for NJCAA All-American honors and being selected to the MACJC All-State Academic list as a sophomore.
Henry, a first baseman, batted .434 with 31 runs and 30 RBI on 11 doubles, 3 triples and 1 home run while leading the team with 11 stolen bases to earn All-Division honors.
"I've been playing softball since I was eight and it's been a dream to be able to continue my career on the collegiate level," said Henry. "ICC is a great school with a great softball program and I felt like it was the right choice for me."
She was a member of the 2010 MHSAA Class 4A State Champion team and earned a spot on the 2012 All-Star team in slow-pitch softball after hitting 21 home runs for Coach Shane Montgomery and the Lady Vikings.
Dillard, a middle infielder, batted .527 with 60 runs and 18 RBI on 4 doubles, 1 triple and 2 home runs during her junior season at East Union High School before transferring to Ingomar High School for her senior season.
"I'm just so very excited," said Dillard. "Coach Kirk is a really great coach and I'm really looking forward to playing for him."
She was named All-Division and earned Best Defensive Player and was a member of the .500 Club as a sophomore and junior. Dillard stole 31 bases on 33 attempts, which was ranked third in the state amongst all Mississippi high schools.
"All three of these girls are going to fill a lot of needs for us next season," said Kirk. "We are going to lose some important sophomores and we are going to lean on players like these and some of the other signees to come in and make an impact on our program right away."
Kirk is expected to announce more signees in the near future.
