Pamela and Scott's Wedding
"I worked with Mike at ABC Rental on Hanover Street in South Baltimore, and he exceeded my expectations at making a sticky situation work. My wedding was outside in a public park on a Saturday, and I had major concerns about the chair and table rentals being stolen if one of their people didn't pick them up immediately after the ceremony. Not a problem with ABC Rental. They did a beautiful job with set up and arrived just as the ceremony was ending to take everything down, while patiently waiting for the guests to leave before doing so. All this with great prices - WAYYYY less than other places I priced out, I think it was $1.35 per chair - and I never even had to go there to fill anything out! They did everything via email which was SUPER convenient to me while wedding planning. I love them."

- Price is coaching in his 350th career game on Saturday and his 99th at UTEP. Only Mack Saxon (118) has coached more games with the Miners.
- Price and Saxon (13 seasons) are the only men to coach the Miners for more than seven seasons.
- Price is coaching against Ole Miss for the first time.
- Price is 0-2 all-time when coaching against SEC opponents (0-1 at UTEP). His 1994 Washington State Cougars dropped a 10-9 decision at Tennessee.
Coaching Changes
- New to the UTEP staff in 2012 are offensive line coach Brian Natkin, tight ends coach Chad Raymond and safeties coach Tom Williams.
- Natkin played for the Miners from 1997-2000 and became UTEP's only unanimous All-American in 2000. He led all tight ends nationally with 64 catches for 787 yards that year.
- Raymond was also a member of Mike Price's staff as a program coordinator from 2008-10.
- Williams was the head coach at Yale from 2009-11 and was also a defensive assistant with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars from 2007-08.
The Roster
- UTEP's 101-man roster includes 21 seniors, 17 juniors, 22 sophomores and 41 freshmen (10 redshirts/31 true freshmen).
- UTEP has 43 returning lettermen (20 offense/20 defense/three special teams).
- Center Eloy Atkinson leads all offensive players with 18 career starts.
- The bulk of UTEP's offensive starting experience is in the line with Atkinson, LT Brander Craighead (13 starts), LG Jerel Watkins (12) and RT James Nelson (nine).
- On defense, UTEP has two players with 20+ career starts in FS DeShawn Grayson (27) and 3 Tech Germard Reed (21).
- UTEP averages 6-4, 302 pounds across the starting offensive line and 6-2, 268 pounds across the starting defensive line.
- Sophomore Nathan Jeffery ran for 177 yards versus Oklahoma, setting a school record for rushing yards in an opener. The total included a career-long 71-yard carry. It marked the fourth-longest run of the Mike Price era, with all four coming in the last two campaigns (2010, 2011). No player had a run of 70 yards or more in Price's first seven seasons.
- Jeffery's 71-yard run is the longest by a UTEP underclassman since freshman Jon Schaper posted a 74-yard TD scamper against BCS power Alabama in 2001.
- Jeffery compiled 219 all-purpose yards. As a team, the Miners registered just 255 yards of offense.
- Freshmen Laquintus Dowell (3-7), Autrey Golden (1-3) and Xay Williams (5-16) were responsible for nine of UTEP's remaining 15 carries.
- The Miners registered 207 rushing yards against Oklahoma. UTEP has had eight contests with over 200 yards since 2010. From 2004-09, the Miners registered just 10 contests with 200+ yards rushing.
THE receiving corps
- Seven players registered a reception in UTEP's game versus Oklahoma.
- Junior tight end Kevin Perry led all receivers with 13 yards. It marks the fifth-fewest yards by a leading receiver in a game in the modern era. It is the fewest since Nov. 19, 1983 when the Miners had no receptions against Weber State. Coincidentally, Mike Price was in his third season as the Weber State head coach.
- For the first time since 2005 and the second occasion of the Mike Price era, UTEP registered three sacks while also tallying at least eight hurries last week. Both opponents hailed from the state of Oklahoma in the form of the Sooners (9/1/12) & Tulsa (11/5/05).
- UTEP forced two fumbles and posted a trio of sacks against Oklahoma (9/1/12), matching the best effort in both categories in a season opener since the lidlifter at Buffalo (8/28/08).
- Eight quarterback hurries were credited to the stop troops versus Oklahoma (9/1/12), which doubles the effort through the first four games of 2011.
- UTEP has now posted eight hurries or more four times during the defensive tenure of Andre Patterson. The Miners notched five such games during the previous six seasons.
- UTEP is in search of three straight multiple-sack contests for the first time since stringing together four such games in 2008. The Miners had a pair against UCF in the 2011 season finale (11/25) while generating three vs. Oklahoma (9/1/12).
PATTERSON's STOP TROOPS
- In 26 games since Andre Patterson took over as UTEP's defensive coordinator, UTEP has yielded 24 points or fewer on 14 occasions. The Miners had surrendered 24 points or less 13 times in 48 games over the previous four seasons prior to Patterson's arrival.
- The Miners have also limited opponents to under 300 yards of offense seven times under Patterson, a feat they achieved six times in the previous four years.
- UTEP's defensive balance under Patterson is evidenced by the fact that the Miners haven't had a 100-tackle player in back-to-back years for the first time since the evolution of the statistic in 1969. UTEP had at least one 100-tackle performer in 25 straight seasons from 1985-2009.
- Punter Ian Campbell was named one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award last year.
- Campbell's long of 67 yards against Oklahoma ties for his third-best career effort. Campbell's long was a 72-yard boot versus Rice in 2010.
Veterans return for punt and kick returns
- Sophomore RB Nathan Jeffery was UTEP's primary kickoff returner against Oklahoma.
- Jeffery registered one kickoff return for 20 yards and a blocked punt return for a touchdown against Oklahoma.
- Senior WR Mike Edwards registered four punt returns for 50 yards and two kickoff returns for 39 yards against Oklahoma. His kickoff yardage exceeded his total for the entire 2011 season (37).
2011 Rewind
- UTEP finished 5-7 overall and 2-6 in Conference USA, fifth place in the league's Western Division.
- The Miners were playing for bowl eligibility in each of their last two games but lost at home to Tulsa (57-28) and on the road to UCF (31-14).
- UTEP was 3-3 at home and 2-4 on the road.
- UTEP ranked fourth in the country in kickoff returns (26.4 avg.) and sixth in net punting (40.5 avg.).
- The Miners averaged 154.9 yards rushing per game, their high water mark of the Mike Price era.
- UTEP tied for fourth nationally in offensive plays of 70+ yards (four), tied for sixth in plays of 60+ yards (seven) and tied for 17th in plays of 50+ yards (nine).
- UTEP returns players who accounted for 13.8 percent (258-of-1,866) of the team's rushing yards last season, 88.2 percent (2,387-of-2,707) of the passing yards and 60.2 percent (1,630-of-2,707) of the receiving yards.
- On defense, UTEP returns 60.7 percent (516-of-850) of its tackle production from 2011, 87 percent (20-of-23) of its sacks, 65.8 percent (39.5-of-60) of its tackles for losses, 61 percent (25-of-41) of its pass break-ups and 50 percent (6-of-12) of its interceptions.
- UTEP returns its regular punter (Ian Campbell), field goal kicker (Dakota Warren) and kickoff man (Steven Valadez), as well as players who accounted for 30.3 percent (391-of-1,291) of the kickoff return yards and 37.3 percent (82-of-220) of the punt return yards.

The Return of Godzilla (ゴジラの復活?, lit. Resurrection of Godzilla) is an unmade Gojira no Fukkatsu1980 Godzilla film.
Still on the search for the right film to revive Godzilla, Tomoyuki Tanaka finally found a story that illustrated many of the concepts he wanted to return to the series. Many of Tanaka's concepts from this story made it into the final version that went before the cameras in 1984. The story, however, is very different from the final draft.
Bagan, a transforming god, is discovered. After transforming between his three forms, ape, fish, and dragon, he encounters Godzilla, and a battle ensues. Bagan realizes he can't defeat him, so he merges the three forms into a totem pole like beast that is soon defeated by Godzilla.
- An interesting thing to note is that Bagan's design is drastically different from the Bagan that appeared in Super Godzilla and Godzilla Movie Studio Tour.


text: I have had a change of heart. Sorry Hutch but I'm revealing our secret spot for all to enjoy. I think you will all recognize the spot when you see the picture. I would really suggest hunting off of Tom Sawyer Island. There are a ton of Mallards that work back into this area from the Jungle Cruise and quite a few teal work in from "It's a Small World".. Please have some respect for the Donald as he is off limits. Rather than decoys I would highly recommend spreading popcorn and small pieces of corn dog around on the water. That really seems to do the trick. If you put pants and a shirt on your dog you'll have no trouble getting them through the gate. Well that's it. I have no secrets from the duckhuntingchat site any longer. Again I'm sorry Hutch. I know you and I have spent many long hours scouting this area but it really is time to share this "magic" place with others. The folks from CA will be excited I'm sure to find out the real honey hole is right in thier backyard after all.

This is so pawsome! I hope my new family takes me on vacation EVERY YEAR!
We had a blast last year! We went places in the car everyday, some rides went on all day and I got to take turns snuggling with each of my humans, we walked through woods and shopping areas, I watched my Mom and little girl swim & float (!!!) in cold fast moving water (!!!), we went way up high in the air on mountains, saw sights & smelled smells, and lots of other cool things.
I kind of feel guilty; I mean, here I am traveling with our humans for a couple of weeks, and poor Marcus has to go the kennel! I get to watch them all the time and he's just going to have to lie around and wait for our return. Well I guess when the cat's away, the humans & dog are going to Par-Tay!
And I know he must be distraught. Even my little girl cried when he left, and I could tell that Mom wanted to. I'm sure he'll be ok; he can be very brave..., when it's important.
(Um, don't tell him I said that....)
Besides, they'll make it up to him when we come back, and spoil him for a few minutes.
If I were a more selfish doggie I'd get them to do this more often just for the attention...., but I don't think Marcus could bear it.
This year we're going to take a laptop computer with WiFi. I'm not sure yet if Pawpi will get it to work, but it looks promising.
If not, I'll certainly be thinking of evfurryone, and wishing you were here!
Happy snorty snorts & excited tail wags,
Amigo Dog
P.S. Before he left, Marcus asked me to mention to evfurryone that he left a vacation message in his diary too.
I'm not sure to what degree of an emergency this may turn out to be, but it seemed like a good idea to pass on in case you use or live near someone who uses this stuff. The article on Snopes.com can be found at:
http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.as p
It verifies this story as "true" and is worth a quick read for details as there are apparently several brands of "cocoa mulch". Each has it's own standards and claims of safety, so you should at least know what questions to pose when evaluating products or in speaking with a chosen professional.

Following is a message I received from the group messaging of FOR THE LOVE OF LAUREL:
*** URGENT *** "Cocoa Mulch" !!!DANGER!!! Please read and crosspost
verified by Snopes.com
forwarded ...
Over the weekend one of our friends experienced a tragedy with one of their dogs and wanted me to pass a special message along to all of our dog loving friends and family. Please tell every dog owner you know.
Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dogCalypsodecided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Half way through the walkshe had a seizure and died.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the labelupon further investigation on the company's websitethis product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats. Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey'sand thy claim that 'It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However98% of all dogs won't eat it.'
True information about the mulch can be found here - Snopes.com: Cocoa Mulch. This site gives the following information:
Cocoa Mulchwhich is sold by Home DepotForeman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply storescontains a lethal ingredient called 'Theobromine' . It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of cautioncheck what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens.
Theobromine is in all chocolateespecially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobrominea xanthinecompound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

Wow! My Geat Nana will be 90 years old tomorrow.
That's got to be at least 13 or 14 in dog years!
We're all meeting up in Keystone Heights tomorrow, but shhhhhh.... it's a surprise.
She's always maintained that she's strictly a cat-person, and has never really cared much for dogs. But I'm just so sweet and loving, Great Nana says she makes a special exception for ME.
In fact, she's often seen holding & petting me for hours at a time when I visit.
What an honor, I've got the "Great Nana Seal of Approval"!
I'm such a good boy, and truely a lucky dog.
Happy 90th Birthday, Great Nana, from all of us!

10.15am Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the fourth ODI from Napier. A reminder that New Zealand lead the series 2-1 but England come into the game on the back of a convincing win last Friday.
10.50am Daniel Vettori won the toss and put England into bat. Although the McLean Park pitch traditionally suits the team that bats first, Vettori said New Zealand prefer to chase runs. England keep the same 11 who won the third match, while the one change in the New Zealand team sees bowler Iain O'Brien in for allrounder Paul Hitchcock.
10.55am For UK TV viewers we have to hope we don't get a repetition of the mess that was the final two balls of the India v Sri Lanka CB Series game ... when the satellite feed ran out! In Napier it's bright and sunny with a few high white puffy clouds.
The umpires are heading out dressed in fetching red and they are followed by the players. The crowd is good, and to keep you entertained, amused and captivated in the early exchanges, here's Andrew Miller.
Good morning everyone. Alastair Cook is on strike, Kyle Mills the bowler. Here we go
Mills to Cook, 1 wide, outside off stump, far too far outside off stump. Not the most convincing start
Mills to Cook, no run, much straighter, and that leaps off a good length, into Cook's startled gloves. Lively
Mills to Cook, 1 run, dabbed into the off side, and England are already fishing for run outs! Good grief that would have been close. As it is, the shy missed, and England are off the mark
Mills to Mustard, no run, cutting in from a good line, raps the thigh pad. This wicket has movement
Mills to Mustard, no run, zipping across the left-hander's bows, and left alone
Mills to Mustard, no run, a good leave in the end. Outside off, and nibbling off the seam
Mills to Mustard, 2 runs, driven uncertainly through the leg-side, a bit of an inside-edge on that one. But runs all the same
Napier is the eastern-most international ground in world cricket, apparently. Next stop ... Sabina Park? Here's Chris Martin
End of over 1 (4 runs) England 4/0 (RR: 4.00)
- P Mustard 2 (4b)

Martin to Cook, 1 run, tucked down to backward point
Martin to Mustard, FOUR, short, and smeared square - past the out-stretched fingertips off Ryder at square leg - and all the way. Good, solid strike
Martin to Mustard, no run, fuller and straighter, and driven into the covers
Martin to Mustard, no run, outswinger, starting wide of off stump and curling past a flashing drive
Martin to Mustard, no run, zipping off the pitch again, through to the keeper. And that's the second over gone

Mills to Cook, no run, loose drive, close to the off stump and sneaking past the inside edge
Mills to Cook, no run, turned off the toes, picked up at midwicket
Mills to Cook, no run, lovely delivery, and well left too. That past over the top of the off bail, more encouraging lift from a lively pitch. But New Zealand will want to make England play more frequently
End of over 3 (maiden) England 9/0 (RR: 3.00)
- AN Cook 2 (10b)
- P Mustard 6 (8b 1x4)
- KD Mills 2-1-4-0
- CS Martin 1-0-5-0
Martin to Mustard, FOUR, Mustard played at that one alright, and played well. Riding the bounce to cut firmly through point. Not a lot of width to work with, but timed superbly
Martin to Mustard, no run, outside off stump, and left alone with a curtain-rail withdrawal of the bat
Martin to Mustard, FOUR, full and floaty, and too wide from Martin. And Mustard clobbered it through point with a sweet square drive

Martin to Cook, no run, zips off the pitch and defended into the covers with a late adjustment

Mills to Mustard, no run, that was a violent swish, but nothing but thin air outside off stump

Mills to Mustard, no run, better line this time, and through to the keeper
Mills to Mustard, no run, good stride once again, and driven firmly - but Vettori in the covers gets down quickly and fields exceptionally

- CS Martin 2-0-14-0
Martin to Cook, no run, slower ball, and steered to point with a swish of the wrists
Martin to Cook, no run, dropped! - and that's an absolute clanger. Outside off, a regulation nick, and McCullum puts it down. It almost seemed as though he was celebrating before it arrived
Martin to Cook, no run, outside off, and taken cleanly this time. Too late though ...
Martin to Cook, no run, tighter to the stumps, and angling back in. Defended
Martin to Cook, no run, a foot outside off and nipping off the seam
Cook is a mite bogged down now ...
Martin to Cook, 3 runs, short, and pulled. It was a relief to have something to hit, but he didn't quite time it - snatched at it a fraction. No matter, it's three more to the total and a long chase for midwicket
End of over 6 (3 runs) England 29/0 (RR: 4.83)

- P Mustard 23 (18b 5x4)
- CS Martin 3-0-17-0
- KD Mills 3-1-12-0

Mills to Mustard, 1 run, straighter, and angling into the left-hander's pads. Clipped square to keep the scoreboard ticking
Mills to Cook, no run, driven into the covers again
A brisk start for England - well, Mustard - and a slightly dozy start from New Zealand. There is life in this pitch which they aren't exploiting

- AN Cook 10 (22b 1x4)

Martin to Cook, 1 run, back and across, and dabbed to short midwicket for a quick single
Martin to Mustard, no run, slower ball, full length and drifting in towards off stump. Pushed to cover

Martin to Cook, no run, slower ball, defended
Martin to Cook, no run, rippa. Climb, bounce and carry. Just beats the edge and through to the keeper

Oram to Cook, 1 run, steps across and into line for a pull. Nicely timed out to deep midwicket, all along the ground

End of over 11 (7 runs) England 51/0 (RR: 4.63)

- AN Cook 18 (32b 2x4)
- JDP Oram 1-0-7-0

Martin to Mustard, 1 wide, short, and misdirected. McCullum takes well down the leg-side. Though I bet he's still ruing his one aberration ...
Martin to Mustard, FOUR, another delivery in a good channel, and in a Test match that might conceivably have been a regulation nick to fourth slip. Instead it races away fine

Thanks Andrew. A good start for England and you have to feel that the bowlers have not made the most of the conditions. It's excellent to see a good crowd as well after one or two moderate turnouts so far ... they are predicting a full house later for the only day-only match of the five game series.
Oram to Cook, no run, straight and full, jabbed back to the bowler
Oram to Cook, no run, pretty much the same place, pushed across the line to mid-on
Oram to Cook, FOUR, slower but too wide, he leans back and cuts behind square past backward point, lovely shot and super placement

O'Brien to Mustard, 3 runs, swished off his pads, long leg and deep midwicket converge and slide to stop it and they run three. Replays as the third umpire looks at Jesse Ryder's dive ... did he hit the rope before he flicked back? No definitive replays possible so no boundary

A tame end to a good innings, and as happened in the Twenty20, the gamble of bringing on Ryder has paid off. Our UK editor mutters something unrepeatable about the shot ...
Ryder to Cook, OUT, two in two as Cook plays all round a straight one and has his middle stump pegged back ... a jubilant Ryder is mobbed as well he might be as he's removed both openers in his first over
AN Cook b Ryder 69 (109m 88b 8x4 0x6) SR: 78.40
Apoplexy from the UK editor ... another wicket could send him over the top.

Iain O'Brien returns to the attack
O'Brien to Bell, OUT, the breakthrough at last, and O'Brien has his maiden scalp. Short, but a touch quicker than England have been used to in recent overs. A steepling top-edge, well pouched in the deep by Kyle Mills. Timely for New Zealand, but a handy innings nonetheless

Oram to Pietersen, 1 run, hard drive back at the feet of the bowler, he drops a hand and takes some of the pace off it
Oram to Collingwood, no run, loose drive, feeling for it with little footwork, McCullum takes and then throws at and hits the stumps. Collingwood had gone nowhere

O'Brien to Collingwood, SIX, even bigger ... a step to the off and hit higher and harder, it strikes the roof and clumps down into spectators underneath. O'Brien shakes his head ...
O'Brien to Collingwood, 1 run, short and pacy, Collingwood again steps to the off and he plays a slightly rushed but controlled pull to the man at deep midwicket lurking in the shadows
O'Brien to Pietersen, FOUR, O'Brien's inexperience shows ... he again bangs one in and Pietersen is there and waiting, pulling hard and square, deep midwicket has no chance
Sixteen off that over ... and 300 suddenly looks an easy score to get ...

Oram to Pietersen, 1 run, full and all he could do was drive it up to long-on

Oram to Collingwood, 1 run, pushed to square leg, he started as if to hit it high but checked when cramped for room

Vettori to Pietersen, 1 run, fitty for KP with a dead-batted poke to midwicket

Vettori to Collingwood, 1 run, squeezed to backward point, a wild throw from the hapless O'Brien gives an overthrow as even a full-length dive from McCullum cannot get near it
Vettori to Pietersen, OUT, cunning stuff ... Vettori holds one back, Pietersen is way too early as he aims to thump the ball over midwicket and the ball ever-so-gently clomps into the stumps

Oram to Collingwood, 1 run, Oram follows the batsman and cramps him enough so he can only manage the one

Vettori to Shah, 2 runs, firm drive with his trademark follow through, the sweeper round to field
Vettori to Shah, OUT, another wicket for Vettori but they are coming at a cost ... tossed up, Shah goes for the straight six but gets too much elevation and Fulton has time to come five yards in from the boundary to take a good catch at long-off

10.17 is the run-rate for the last six overs ...including five sixes. Chris Martin replaces the mauled Vettori.

Martin to Collingwood, 1 run, driven to extra cover
Martin to Wright, FOUR, he gives himself room and squirts the ball square on the off side, it goes like a bullet
A seriously poor over from Martin. He just served up the boundaries ...

Here comes the final over of the 50 ... can Chris Martin redeem himself?
Martin to Collingwood, no run, yorker outside off, he shapes to swing over midwicket, it clips his boot and McCullum fields well
Martin to Collingwood, 1 leg bye, Collingwood's intentions are clear as he again takes a big and early step to the off, Martin counters with a yorker aimed at him rather than the stumps, it hits him on the pads and dribbles to point

Martin to Wright, OUT, low full toss hit high towards long-on, Fulton sprints in, makes a lot of ground, dives, and holds the ball a foot above the turf. An excellent catch for the big man gets the crowd excited but it's all rather late ...
LJ Wright c Fulton b Martin 24 (19m 13b 2x4 1x6) SR: 184.61
2.30pm New Zealand came unstuck after sticking England in. Five of the top six made fifties and New Zealand wilted both with the ball and in the field. Vettori's decision seemed a negative one, almost as if he had no faith in his batsmen to set a total. On a lovely batting track a target of 341 is not out of sight but New Zealand will have to bat out of their skins. Join us in 40 minutes ...
End of over 50 (9 runs) England 340/6

Over the years, UNC alumnus Dick Monfort (BA-76) has pursued his passion for athletics in many different arenas: as a fan, as a competitor and now as owner and CEO of the Colorado Rockies. He talks about the team's approach for the 2014 season and how his time at UNC shaped his professional philosophy in an exclusive interview in the Alumni Association's Bear Den blog.

A new exhibit opening at 4 p.m. April 24 at the University of Northern Colorado will feature a portion of a returned collection of Native American artifacts, some believed to be from 2,000 years ago.
"Lost, Now Found: Plains Indian Artifacts from the Hewett Collection," on the first floor of Michener Library, is the first of many exhibits that will showcase Plains Indians artifacts that were once housed on campus. Moccasins, a beaded and porcupine-quilled pipe case, and a parfleche (also known as an Indian suitcase) will be among the first items on display.
Future exhibits will include a portion of more than 200 Southwest pots and basketry that were also returned from a collection held on loan at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center since 1983 when the anthropology museum in Candelaria Hall ceased operating.
Sean Clason, a senior history major who minors in anthropology, organized the exhibit as a part of a class project in Assistant Professor Andy Creekmore's Public Archaeology class. The collection is named after Edgar Lee Hewett, a faculty member in the 1890s and archaeologist who is believed to have excavated some of the artifacts. Students and faculty are researching the collection, including its origins.
The opening April 24 in the reference area on the first floor of Michener will include refreshments.
Prevention Education and Advocacy Services invites you to join them in observing national Denim Day Wednesday, April 23, to raise awareness about the prevalence and injustice of victim blaming and how readily it continues to be utilized in attempts to prosecute sexual violence.
Wear jeans to make a social statement that there is "No Excuse and Never an Invitation to Rape."
Denim Day was triggered by an Italian court case that took place in the late 90s after an 18-year-old woman was raped by her driving instructor. While the perpetrator was convicted and sentenced, the Italian Supreme Court overturned the conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. It was argued that "because the victim wore very, very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them…and by removing the jeans…it was no longer rape but consensual sex."
For more information about Denim Day, visit http://denimdayusa.org/.

Willis' novels and short stories have won a record number of Hugo and Nebula awards - the genre's most prestigious honors. She was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009 and was named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2011.
Willis graduated from Colorado State College, now UNC, in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in English. She currently works with UNC's English honor society and recently donated her manuscripts to the university's Michener Library.
She and her husband, UNC Professor Emeritus Courtney Willis, live in Greeley.
The undergraduate commencement ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 10, at Nottingham Field, intersection of 17th Avenue and Reservoir Road. About 1,190 spring and 390 summer graduates will receive degrees.
Two-time UNC alumnus and art educator Daniel Augenstein will be the featured speaker.

A new mixing design has been added to the All-Purpose Valve (APV) from R. Dray Manufacturing Inc., Lynchburg, Va. The APV Mixing Valve has a spiral mixing chamber and barrier flights that minimize the amount of unmelted particles while delivering dispersive and distributive mixing. When added to an existing general-purpose screw, the valve reportedly can allow for shorter recovery times while improving color dispersion and melt homogeneity. APV valves are self-cleaning and designed to eliminate dead spots and to improve shot-to-shot repeatability.

How to vent dryer when rim joist is close to ground
I started this question in my post here http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/how-w...ou-fix-152446/ but it's more of a separate question.
Our house is low in the ground, such that a straight vent through the rim joist would only be a couple inches above the ground, not nearly enough for snow clearance. The previous owner installed an elbow at the ground, then went up 18 inches, then had another elbow to the flapper. Besides looking awful, I can only imagine how much moisture condensed in the vertical section of pipe on a cold winter day.
What options are available to bring the dryer vent up?
a few thoughts I had:
-run vent up into kitchen cabinet then out through wall (kitchen is above dryer so this is the easiest for us and leaves all piping accessible, but does mean drilling though the brick)
-frame wall thicker and run vent up through wall then out (we have a short section, 18" long, where this could be done, but would be hard to make it look nice)
-run vent up to roof (hard to get up to the roof and makes a long run)
Post a picture of the outside of the house in that area and one of the outside wall area in the laundry room.
It's not that big a deal to have to make a hole in the brick. It's done all the time.
Would you need a diamond tipped hole saw to cut through the brick?
Nope, just a hammer drill and at least a 3/8 bit. (I use a 1/2")
The holes going to have to be slightly bigger then the largest diam. of the back side of the new vent.
If you look at it your going to see a ring that's bigger then the main tube.
I try for 4 1/4. I try to hold the drill at a slight angle so the wall area is smaller then the back side. It just makes it easer to get the plug out when you finish drilling.
Mark the circle and just make a series of holes, then just tap the middle and it should pop out.
Do you get water in that basement?
2 Attachment(s)
No water in basement, the ground drops a lot a little ways out from the house. No way to regrade enough without redoing the entire back yard.
Here are pictures of the outside and inside:
You may be able to get away with adding a window well
where you need to penetrate the wall.

Tarnished Eagles: The Court-Martial of Fifty Union Colonels and Lieutenant…
by Thomas P. Lowry
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Interesting BUT. I already knew that they drank a lot!!
Certainly this was an interesting mix of stories, which would doubtless be fascinating to Civil War buffs. I enjoyed it, but I liked the later Tarnished Scalpels: The Court-Martials of Fifty Union Surgeons better because in that book, Mr. Lowry included his own opinions in a paragraph or two at the end of each case account. He didn't do that in this one. But they are both good books and can be read together, or separately. You don't have to be a Civil War buff to enjoy Lowry's work.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0811715973, Hardcover)17 b/w photos 6 x 9 An engaging roster of curmudgeons, drunkards, and fools From the author of The Story the Soldiers Wouldnt Tell Thomas P. Lowrys Tarnished Eagles is the first systematic look at Civil War courts-martial, and . . . it offers the surprising finding that officers, in fact, were in trouble more often than the enlisted men. . . . Lowry lets their court-martial records speak for themselves . . . while drawing some far- reaching conclusions from their experiences as a whole. William C. Davis More than 100,000 men in the Union army faced courts-martial during the years of the Civil War. In this new study, the author has chosen 50 Union colonels and lieutenant colonels to highlight the difficulties in placing civilians unfamiliar with the rigors of army life in command. For example, one colonel was so drunk he fell off his horse; another was nicknamed Stumpy because he tended to shout orders from behind a tree stump. The stories of these tragicomic characters, and of many more contained herein, will add significant commentary to the burgeoning study of Civil War misbehavior. Dr. Thomas P. Lowry is a retired professor of psychiatry. He is the author of The Story the Soldiers Wouldnt Tell, The Attack on Taranto, and The Civil War Bawdy Houses of Washington, DC. In February 1863 a third set of charges appeared in the record, illustrating Lords talent for getting himself into trouble in multiple venues. . . . At Cottage Landing, Virginia, he was so drunk that he made an indecent exposure of his person in the presence of a lady, after which he rode his horse into a gully and fell headlong from the saddle.

Today was my first day on 20mg of prednisone down from 30mg. I'm feeling okay, just a little bit of pain in my toes. I'm hoping that I won't get anymore pain tomorrow because I'm meeting a friend up in Santa Barbara for the weekend!
I also have a huge 15 page paper to finish writing for my techniques of counseling class. It requires a lot of concentration and commitment that I have difficulty with when Lupus makes me feel like crap. This is my last paper of the semester though
I just met with my rheumatologist today and the CellCept is finally working! The protein in my urine has decreased from 1035mg to 513mg! I just had to wait patiently for 2 months
And now I begin my prednisone taper...
Today I was having a bad day!! I can't sleep at night. I did'nt wake up til 2:00 pm. I need to get this under control!!! I'm also having joint pain etc...

Essential capabilities for strategic infrastructure asset management
Too, Eric G. (2007) Essential capabilities for strategic infrastructure asset management. In Kenley, Russell (Ed.) 2007 Conference of the Australasian Universities Building Education Association, 4th to 5th July 2007, Melbourne, Australia.
Administrators only
Many organisations have adopted the systematic approach of asset management to improve the performance of their assets. Existing management literature suggests that resources and capabilities are the primary determinants of firm's performance. Therefore organisations that strive to improve their performance must first identify the essential capabilities that can support their business processes. The purpose of this paper is to identify these essential capabilities within the infrastructure asset management processes. From the literature, six capabilities are conceptualised as core to the infrastructure asset management processes. They are customer responsiveness, asset data collection, optimisation, integrated procurement, relational and project management.

#1: no-sulfates!
Has anyone used a shampoo that has no sulfates in it? I tried one (Soma) because my hair is very dry and most shampoos that soften weigh it down. I did not realize that this shampoo is volumizing as well--(I dont need volume). I was hoping to find another one thats not for volume!!

Costume Information
|I'd better get in ridiculous shape for this then! I can't stress how much I'm in love with the character and design. Long jacket, eyepatch, great big blood scythes on each arm. Those, I believe will be much fun to create; built with my usual flair on design I don't want to have any straps/bindings showing. I don't like to ruin the illusion so keep watch on this one :3

Hungarian lake resort helped reunify Germany
By Marton Dunai
ZANKA, Hungary (Reuters) - They called it the "Plattensee" (flat sea), and for Germans from both sides of the Berlin Wall, Hungary's Lake Balaton was close, cheap and mostly free of spies.
No one knew then their 1960s lakeside holidays would set in motion events that helped bring down the wall dividing them.
As the world recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War and Germany's reunification, Hungarians on the scenic shores of central Europe's biggest lake recalled the decades when crowds of East and West Germans vacationed here, just to be together.
"A West German family of three would rent a four-bedroom house," said Csaba Sall, a local travel agent. "A few days later, we would see three cars in the garden and 10 people on the patio: the eastern relatives."
East Germans started to flock to Hungary after the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961 to exploit easy visa regulations and security laxer than almost anywhere in the communist bloc.
"The German decision to seal off the borders coincided with an easing of travel policy in Hungary," said Janos Rainier, a historian who directs the 1956 Institute in Budapest.
The Institute studies the events leading to and following Hungary's failed 1956 revolution against Soviet rule.
"After the 1956 uprising, Hungarians relaxed rules to soothe tensions," Rainier said, noting that hundreds of thousands of Hungarians fled to the West in 1956, leaving relatives behind. Continued...

E3 2014 is at an end. There was excitement, there were crowds and there were more sweaty young white guys than you'd find at an Eton sports day.
It's the most famous gaming show around, and it is where every major publisher shows off the games they are working on. It is also where we found out what the future looks like for the Xbox One and PS4, into 2015 and beyond.
We now know about almost every major game due for release in the next year. But which are the ones you should really get excited about? We've been out at the E3 show itself, and here are our personal picks for the best games of E3 2014.
There were plenty of great games to get excited about at E3 and I'm torn between a couple of favourites.
Far Cry 4 looks like another super addition to the franchise while I'm certain Evolve and Splatoon will become a multiplayer favourites.
The game that really stood out visually for me though was The Order: 1866. It's dark, broody and scary. While the final game may be a little too linear judging by the demo we played, this is a truly next-gen game that looks absolutely stunning and comes with some interesting weapon innovations too.
SEE ALSO: Why the best Xbox One and PS4 games aren't out until 2015
Despite playing most of the big name games at E3 this year, there's one that really stands out as possibly the best new-gen title so far and that's Batman: Arkham Knight.
It's not a new IP or something we've never seen before, but it introduces a number of new features that have the potential to make it one of the defining games of next-gen.
For one, you get the Batmobile, which adds another layer to puzzle-solving, combat and of course, just getting about Gotham.
Gotham City is frankly huge, and even though I only got to see a tiny fraction of it, the sheer height of the buildings in Arkham Knight is phenomenal. Plus, the graphics are crisp, detailed and the weather effects are awesome. Not to mention, Batman is looking more bad-ass than ever.
I can't wait to explore the full Gotham with all the new tech kit Batman has at his disposal.
It's quite difficult trying to pick out a game from afar when there are so many on show at E3 that look fantastic, but the one that really stands out is No Man's Sky.
This is not a game obsessed with talking about jaw-dropping visuals, frame rates and online co-op modes. It's about creating something truly unique that could become the pinnacle for open world games.
It's also refreshing to see that such an ambitious project is being made by a UK-based team that most people will probably know from making a little daredevil stunt bike game for the iPhone.
CHECK OUT: Why Sony and the PS4 won E3
Forget CoD, Battlefield: Hardline and Destiny, as a fan of sports titles my personal highlight of E3 2014 has to be FIFA 15.
This isn't just because it's the latest addition to one of my favourite series either; EA has made a mass of improvements that take the game next-gen.
Players move better, the ball rolls truer and the pitch evolves during a 90 minutes game. I never anticipated getting excited by divots on a football field, but this seemingly innocuous improvement makes a world of difference in how the game echoes real life.
Another game that's excited me at E3 is one we still know very little about. Criterion's new un-named multi-vehicle racer won't be with us for a number of years yet, but the ridiculously early tease we've seen has me excited about what's to come further down the line.
