The Wheels on the Bus
We talked all morning about the bus and sang one of his favorite songs "The Wheels on the Bus". We got his backpack ready with some pull ups and wipes. We got a nice big brunch inside his belly and got dressed for the morning. The bus arrived promptly at 11:00 and as the wheels went round and round toward us Joaquin yelled out "BUS!" My voiced cracked a bit and tears welled up inside my eyes but I kept it together. I think it helped that I had to rush to pick up Mateo at 11:10 from Kindergarten and had Sofia to take care at the same time so those things served as great distractions.
Hector followed the school bus to pick up two other preschoolers and then followed the bus the 1.5 miles to Joaquin's school (he felt like a stalker!) I was able to get there in time to see Joaquin being walked to class with one of the main teachers Miss Kelly (who is a DOLL!!!) and she had plenty of hugs and snuggles to give him when they greeted. It was only when he saw me that he gave us his sad face so it was then that I realized I needed to let go and let him grow from this experience without me distracting him.
I pick him up at 2:20pm so we'll see how it went. We decided not to go into class with him because everytime Joaquin saw us he got a little sad. PRAYING he has fun today and that he enjoys school and that the classmates and teachers love him as much as we do.
I'll try to upload the video of him getting on the bus later! SUPER windy day here today. He almost blew over a few times with the backpack on his back! My teeny tiny sprite.

Oh those pictures are priceless! What a cutie, Joaquin looks so grown-up. I'm pretty sure that first day is toughest on us moms, our kiddos seem to do wonderful. And yes, loving teachers make all the difference in the world. Can't wait to hear how the whole day went..

What an exciting (and emotional) milestone for you! The pictures of Joaquin reminded me so much of Rylee's first days of preschool. (Gosh, it took us weeks to find a backpack that wasn't bigger than her!) It was a big change/adjustment for both Rylee and me... one that Rylee probably did better with than me! All I know is that we grew... Rylee became more social, more outgoing, more confident; and I became a little less therapist and a little more Mom. Now, Rylee's in 1st grade and just last night we had Parent/Teacher Conferences. We've got a capable, hard-working, funny, loving little girl with a big personality who has wonderful, caring teachers and therapists and accepting, kind-hearted friends. We're so very lucky... and it all started with those first steps to preschool!!! Big steps, I tell ya! Enjoy them!!

It's time to put night crawlers out of business and use rubber worms
I've put off publishing any findings until I concluded numerous years of research. Now, the findings are in, and I recently presented a lecture to a fishing group with the conclusions of my research.
If it were up to me, I would put night crawler breeders and distributors out of business.
During an average year, I probably go through no fewer than 50 containers of night crawlers. Considering there are like a dozen worms in every container, that amounts to a lot of worms. Do all those worms find their way onto a hook? Of course not.
What to do with leftover crawlers? You can stick them in the refrigerator, hopefully with the lid on tight. If not, you'll probably hear a mad screech as the fridge door is opened and mama sees night crawlers looking for a hiding place.
Better feed them occasionally, too. They enjoy a bite now and then to stay healthy and plump.
When you haul them on a fishing trip, if too much ice in the chest melts, your night crawler container is under water. Take the lid off the container and you're confronted with a muddy mass.
In the boat, especially trolling, you want a nice, plump crawler for the hook, but the whole worm is much too long. You can multiple-hook the crawler, but when you start trolling, all you're pulling around is a big glob of meat. You might catch a fish now and then, but it's not an attractive presentation to the fish.
So, you need to pinch off part of the crawler, keeping the "tail" portion for the hook. I've never had any luck fishing with the "head" portion so overboard it goes. When you pinch off what you need, the area under your fingernails becomes grungy, and it takes days to wear off.
Ever been happily trolling around and somebody inadvertently bumps the night crawler container? It bounces on the floor of the boat, and the lid and container go in different directions. The dirt and all the crawlers are now all over the bottom of the boat.
Over many years of fishing, I've encountered just about every scenario you can imagine with a crawler, and I've concluded using a live night crawler just ain't worth it.
There is a viable alternative, to which my hunting partner — Brian Richter of Pilot Hill — who fishes at Lake Almanor with us a couple of weeks a year, had a reaction I anticipated:
"Yeah, right, George. Sure!"
He didn't believe me until I proved it last year.
The greatest thing invented was originally made for black bass fishermen — rubber worms. But guess what? They also work great for trout.
If you look over the wall of worm packages at any sporting goods outlet, you'll be confronted with virtually hundreds of colors, sizes and styles. Many of those rubber worms look just like a real night crawler. I use numerous varieties made by Berkely.
But one thing you must keep in mind about fish: Contrary to popular belief, they are not rocket scientists. Fish don't have the ability to think. When they see something that looks like food and they aren't spooked, they'll bite on it.
You use a rubber worm like you would a live crawler. You pinch off the "head" portion and use a worm threader to thread the "tail" portion onto the hook with enough tail hanging off the bend of the hook so it has some wiggle action.
I used my first rubber worm trolling for trout at Lake Camanche a good 10 years ago. I caught as many as four trout on the same rubber worm. I've used them successfully trolling Lassen County's Eagle Lake for rainbows. I used nothing but rubber worms last year at Lake Almanor — with four rods in the water at a time — and we hammered trout, catching no fewer than 400-500 for the year, most of which were 2½- to five-pounders.
My hunting partner ran out of live crawlers, and instead of going to town to buy more, I handed him some rubber worms. He and his wife were skeptical, but he gave it a try. They hammered fish, and Brian Richter is now a believer. He also said he won't purchase live crawlers again.
While they can be used successfully trolling, they can also be used in smaller pieces drifting streams, still fishing as you would a live crawler, or cast-retrieving from shore.
Live crawlers are expensive and difficult to keep between fishing trips. Switch to rubber worms and give them a try. Believe me, you'll never again buy a carton of live crawlers.
Current fishing
Lake Pardee: They continue to plant trout weekly and try to do it close to or on the weekend, when the greatest amount of traffic is at the lake. That means some of the best rod-bending action will be when the truck comes, from around the launch ramp, the cove near the ramp and rainbow point. Trollers are hitting the mouth of the river and fishing as far up as Columbia Gulch. There have been good catches of rainbows and brown trout and even some early kokanee.
Sacramento River: Stripers are beginning to show in bigger numbers in the main body. With the lack of storms, the river is in good shape. Anchor closer to shore, where the water temperature will be a couple degrees warmer and more to the stripers' liking. You'll need to fight off the undersized bait stealers, but there are keepers in the mix. Those who can get into the Port of Sacramento and the upper part of the Deep Water Channel are finding stripers there, trolling, jigging and drifting big minnows. Mostly small fish, but it's the time of year when lunkers are cruising in there, too.
Folsom Lake: The good thing right now is you don't have to contend with many water recreationists, which will be prevalent soon enough. The not-so-good thing is you have to cover considerable ground and put in considerable time to put fish in the box, whether it's bass, trout or salmon. You can pretty much have the waterway to yourself, but everything is lethargic and slow to bite.

Why is it that even after Dec. 21, the sunset keeps getting later?
We get a lot of questions asking why, for instance, do the sunsets start to get later in December before Dec. 21. And why the sunrises continue to get later for a period of time after Dec. 21. The same holds true in reverse around June 21.
The explanation is called "The Equation of Time". The best place I've found to explain it is from this
NASA Science Article.

"Ice Age: Continental Drift" will float to the top of the box office chart this weekend, as the animated 3-D sequel is expected to freeze out all of the competition.
The fourth installment in the popular series featuring a group of prehistoric mammals will probably debut with a solid sum of between $50 million and $55 million, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. Twentieth Century Fox is predicting a softer domestic opening of $35 million to $40 million.
Meanwhile, "The Amazing Spider-Man" -- which has already pulled $160 million into its web -- should maintain a solid hold during its second weekend in theaters. Audiences who saw the movie upon its debut assigned it an average grade of A-, according to market research firm CinemaScore. That means word-of-mouth should be good, and the film will probably gross another $30 million this weekend.
Though "Ice Age 4" is the only new film hitting theaters this weekend, it will still face competition from two animated movies still playing at the multiplex. While DreamWorks Animation's "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" is slowing down as it enters its sixth weekend with about $200 million in ticket sales, Pixar Animation's "Brave" is still a viable competitor. The movie about a feisty Scottish princess has sold about $180 million worth of tickets, and took third place at the box office last weekend during its third week in release.
"Ice Age 4" has so far earned middling critical reviews, notching a 50% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes -- only a tad better than the 45% score the third entry received. The latest movie follows the group of animal friends as they get lost at sea when the world breaks up into different continents and features such celebrity voices as Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and Drake.
The new "Ice Age" is the latest film from Fox's Blue Sky Studios, which has produced a number of hits for its corporate parent. Blue Sky's last release was 2011's "Rio," which grossed $484.6 million worldwide.
Overseas, the fourth "Ice Age" is already on its way to becoming a massive hit. As of Tuesday, the film had collected an impressive $211.9 million and was doing especially brisk business in Germany and Mexico. This weekend, the movie will debut in an additional 29 foreign markets, including the United Kingdom and Russia.
Animated films featuring talking animals have traditionally performed particularly well abroad. The third entry in the "Ice Age" series made 78% of its worldwide gross internationally, grossing $690.1 million abroad in 2009. Last year "Kung Fu Panda 2 " raked in $500 million outside of the U.S. and Canada, while "Cars 2" -- which didn't star any animals -- sold $368.4 million overseas.

The Birthday Dress
26 comments:
last year i became obsessed with the idea of birthday dresses. it's the one time of year about you, and i also just had my birthday, but have yet to blog about my dress. i love yours. it's perfect on you. i even love the quirky pairing with the shoes and the little bolero/jacket/cardigan. so cute.ReplyDelete
This dress transitions nicely to casual. I love the cut and the print. I've never done a birthday dress, either, but I may do so in the future.ReplyDelete
Last year I spent forever picking out my birthday dress. I ended up buying a dress covered in Skulls and roses. And I got all guissed up to go the the hole in the wall bar in town and loved every moment of it, every "oh my goodness! Is that skulls?????" It rocked. And now my 30th is approaching in a few months and I'm already searching for the perfect dress. But before last year....It never really mattered.ReplyDelete
It's a lovely way to age. Happy birthday!ReplyDelete
all of this. i love all of it.ReplyDelete
love that quote so much. i love the dress too. great blog, it is absolutely lovely. :)ReplyDelete
The back of that dress is so beautiful!! Also, I love that polka-dot cover-upReplyDelete
Happy birthday!ReplyDelete
The back of that dress is so 90s in a really, really good way, and also sort of 50s-sundress-style too.
Enjoy your year of 25.
- AnonymousAugust 12, 2011 at 5:57 AM
It is such a pretty dress and it looks lovely on you (both ways). I had my birthday not long ago but didn't get the chance to celebrate so my birthday dress is still hanging in the closet, oh well...ReplyDelete
Happy birthday:)
Very lovely dress and love the way you put it together for both outings:) Enjoy 25! Being close to doubling that age, I'm thinking more Chanel when I make quote references...you know the one: something about nature giving you the face at 20 but having to merit the one you have at 50! Teeheehee:)ReplyDelete
happy 25th birthday! i'll be 25 next year. crazy, isn't it? i love your dress and think that's such a neat idea to actually buy a "birthday dress." maybe i'll do that next year for my 25th :)ReplyDelete

Happy birthday! I love the dress.ReplyDelete
Hey, I saw that bag not long ago! It was cute, I contemplated buying it but then opted on being cheap and leaving it there XDReplyDelete
That's a really lovely dress though, I hope you find lots of frilly reasons to wear it.

Still More Briggs for Readers to Digest
Many thanks to Tonci Zonjic for this week's great Sickles and Briggs scans -- be sure to visit his blog and check out Tonci's excellent work!
* My Austin Briggs Flickr set.
11 comments:
Neil Shapiro sent the following comment to me via email. I'm c&p'ing it here with his permission:ReplyDelete
"Sickles & Briggs were perfect choices for these books. They were printed on cheap rag stock, & the bold line work of both these artists reproduced beautifully. My parents got these books, & our home library was filled with them. Looking back, the very idea of condensing literature to make it more 'palatable', or whatever, to the larger reading public, is kind of pathetic. But this was a great venue for illustrators of the day -- & that's the important thing. God, Briggs was such a fantastic draughtsman."
I concur Neil, what a feast for the appreciative eye, when looking at their work. In reference to what medium and paper Briggs used, I have a quote from Briggs in 1961 for a Blair Spray-fix ad: "Spray-fix doesn't fill the grain of the fine French watercolor paper, 'Arches', which I use for most of my recent work. When I make a line with my carbon drawing stick, I know Spray-fix will hold it exactly as I've drawn it; and allows me to work over it, too."ReplyDelete
I also read a comment by Briggs, that early in his career, he wasn't getting the top jobs, and felt his drawing was weak, so he stopped excepting assignments for a long period of time, and drew every day from life to improve his draftsmanship, developing new samples for his portfolio. Well, it worked!!
He was a big influence when Bernie Fuchs was starting out.. actually he was a big influence on countless of young illustrators in the e50's and 60's, including myself.
Tom Watson
Sorry, I meant "accepting assignments" instead of "excepting assignments".ReplyDelete

- Howard Chaykin3:18 PM
The Readers Digest condensed book collections are a treasure trove of terrific illustration. In addition to the phenomenal Sickles and Briggs stuff, Harry Beckhoff Denver Gillen, Ken Riley, Stevan Dohanos among many others did wonderful work for the line back in the fifties. If you've never seen what Dohanos could do with a pen, it's worth a search.ReplyDelete
By the late 50s to the 70s, Bob Peak, Bob Heindel and Bernie Fuchs were mainstays.
And speaking of Fuchs, I've heard a story, possibly apocryphal, that Fuchs got his first major advertising assignment for an automobile company when the ad agency felt Briggs was coming in too high with his bid.
Apparently, Briggs felt he was irreplaceable in this regard, until Fuchs came in and did a terrific job. It's often easy to forget, based on Fuchs' more contemporary work, just how much of an influence on him Briggs' work must have been--both as a painter and a draughtsman.
I'm proud to own a number of originals by these giants, and I remain awestruck by their greatness.
Thanks for that, Howard;ReplyDelete
You're right about that story (if I recall it correctly). I heard from ( I think, David Apatoff) that Robert Fawcett pulled a rather nasty prank on Fuchs and Briggs that took advantage of that scenario you described. Bernie had just moved to Westport and Fawcett ushered him right into the middle of a dinner party Briggs was throwing (or at least attending) and announced, "Here's the guy who just took that big ad account from you, Austin!") - much to Bernie's mortification. That story may have been in David's issue-long Bernie Fuchs article for Illustration magazine... I'm not sure now. Anyway, happy ending: the two men (Briggs and Fuchs) became life-long friends and Briggs really was a mentor to Bernie.
And to come full circle, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for those RDCB's featuring Bernie Fuchs and Bob Peak art!
- Chad Sterling3:34 PM
The artist that so often gets overlooked when discussing great linear draughsmanship in the RD is Britain's own Francis Marshall.Check him out, his line work and design is of the highest order.ReplyDelete
So true, Chad; and you'll be happy to hear a week on FM is 'in the pipe'. ;^)ReplyDelete
- Charlie Allen9:57 PM
WOW.....Super blog this week on Briggs.....and super comments as well. Tom....what is a 'carbon drawing stick'? Must have alluded me. Mr. Chaykin....I'm in awe that you have originals by those artists. A real treasure. Leif....not surprised at Fawcett's 'joke'. He was one bristly character. Mr. Sterling....will look forward to Francis Marshall's work. Out here in the boonies, haven't heard of him.ReplyDelete
Charlie, I have used a carbon pencil years ago, which is somewhat like a charcoal pencil, only not as soft. The point doesn't snap off as easy as charcoal, and the lines are crisper and blacker. It also comes in various degrees of hard to medium soft. I'm only guessing, but I think a carbon stick must be just the carbon without the wood barrel. I've never seen a carbon stick either, but unless it was a miss print, I'll take Briggs at his word. ;-)ReplyDelete
Tom Watson
I think I prefer the Briggs illustrations to Sickles.Briggs line-work seems to have more heft,light and shadow, and texture to it.Sickles work is a little too spartan and angular to my eye.ReplyDelete
Briggs has the advantage of the tasteful spot-colors,crowd scenes, and a more exotic locale to draw,so maybe I'm being too picky.I really enjoy the coloring on the Briggs illos.
I'm guessing Briggs was an inspiration to Neal Adams.I see some similarities there.
Thanks for scanning this stuff Tonci.ReplyDelete
I've had terrible B&W xeroxes I made years ago from borrowed books.
This stuff is clear and shows Briggs' intention.
Everyone give 3 big cheers to Leifpeng for providing this great forum where we can meet and discuss this formerly very obscure and secret stuff!
Great discussion about the lineage of the influences.

It is important that you consider very carefully the consequences of withdrawing from your classes.
Refund Policy for Return to Title IV
Under the Higher Education Amendment regulation called Return of Title IV Funds, all students receiving Title IV federal grant or loan assistance who withdraw from the institution in the first 60% of the term are subject to the Return of Title IV Fund policy. This regulation affects the calculation of aid to be returned as well as repayment procedures. The percentage of aid earned by a Title IV student is determined by calculating the percentage of the period that the student completed. If the student completes up to 60% of the term, the percentage of aid earned equals the percentage of the completed period. A portion of the Title IV funds (Pell Grant, SEOG, Direct Subsidized Loan and Direct Unsubsidized Loan) awarded to the student may be returned. The calculation of the return of these funds may result in the student owing a balance to Cheyney University and/or the Department of Education. It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw from all classes. If the student completes 60.01% or more, the student earns 100% of aid.
Students who are no longer attending at least six credit hours at the time loan funds are scheduled to be disbursed are not eligible to receive those funds. The loan will be canceled and all loan funds returned to the Department of Education.
The Financial Aid Office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term. ALL Title IV financial aid programs must be recalculated in these situations.
If a student leaves Cheyney University prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term, the financial aid office recalculates eligibility for Title IV funds. Recalculation is based on the percentage of aid earned using the following Federal Return of Title IV funds formula:
Percentage of payment period or term completed = the number of days completed up to the withdrawal date divided by the total days in the payment period or term. (Any break of five days or more is not counted as part of the days in the term.) This percentage is also the percentage of aid earned.
Funds are returned to the appropriate federal programs based on the percentage of unearned aid using the following formula: Aid to be returned = (100% of the aid that could be disbursed minus the percentage of earned aid) multiplied by the total amount of aid that could have been disbursed during the payment period or term.
If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution and/or the student may be required to return a portion of the funds. Keep in mind that when Title IV funds are returned, the student borrower may owe a debit balance to the institution.
If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the institution would owe the student a post-withdrawal disbursement which must be paid within 120 days of the student's withdrawal.
The institution must return the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 45 days after the date of the determination of the date of the student's withdrawal.
Refunds are allocated in the following order:
- Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans
- Subsidized Federal Direct Loans
- Federal Parent (PLUS) Loans
- Federal Pell Grants
- Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grants
- Federal Iraq Afghanistan Grant
If you have any additional questions regarding your financial aid and withdrawing from your classes, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

OAKLAND — Andre Iguodala is wry, he's dry, and he just isn't the kind of guy to drum his chest and announce he's taking over now.
That's good for the Warriors and for Iguodala in many ways, of course — his subtle personal style has blended right in with the team's convivial atmosphere this season.
But amid the Clippers' all-out swarming of Stephen Curry in this playoff series, including during Los Angeles' 40-point victory in Game 2, this isn't a subtle moment for the Warriors.
The series is tied 1-1, and this is urgent. Thursday's Game 3 at Oracle Arena is time for money players to step out of the background.
So Iguodala's more obvious talents are being summoned in a very non-subtle way.
"We need him to be more aggressive, whether it be for himself or making plays," coach Mark Jackson said of Iguodala before Wednesday's practice at Oracle Arena. "If they're going to play Steph that way, then guys have got to be live options."
Klay Thompson and David Lee are the Warriors' usual alternate options for volume offense, but they've also run into some issues against the Clippers' size and aggressiveness.
Which leaves Iguodala, who spent a lot of years as a top-option playmaker with Philadelphia and Denver … but not always seeming to love it.
Then he was acquired — and given a $48 million deal — by the Warriors last offseason and happily accepted that Curry, Lee and Thompson were established as the main gunslingers.
Iguodala's value to the Warriors during the regular season was as a bonus supporting actor — an elite wing defender, fast-break finisher and overall very popular teammate.
True to that, Iguodala took only six shots apiece in the first two games of this series and scored a combined 12 points without doing much else to hurt the Clippers' D.
That just isn't enough when Curry is dribbling for his life and the Warriors are desperate for willing shooters.
"I'm looking to take more shots every game," Iguodala said. "But just trying to play in the flow of the basketball, not having to force … and it'll come."
But can he just flip the "go" switch that easily? Iguodala took only 7.3 shots a game this regular season, almost four fewer than his career average.
The Clippers, so far, have bet Iguodala can't or won't.
To start the games, the Clippers have mainly used J.J. Redick to defend Iguodala and rotated like mad as they have pursued Curry all over the floor.
"We put the ball in (Iguodala's) hands and they put (power forward) Blake Griffin on him," Jackson said. "Those plays are opportunities for him to take advantage of the matchups.
"But (Iguodala is) a guy that I know he's going to be fine and I know he's a guy that embraces moments like this. So there's no concern."
Beyond the eagerness to blend in, Iguodala had issues with a strained hamstring and knee tendinitis this season; he never quite seemed to regain the explosion he had at the start of this season.
Iguodala — who averaged 15.6 shots per game in 2007-08 — only had five games this season when he took 11 shots or more.
What's relevant now: The Warriors need him to be a dangerous offensive threat against the Clippers.
Last season playing for the Denver Nuggets against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, Iguodala took 35 combined shots in the final two games of Golden State's series victory.
"I didn't force it at all, and the ball just seemed to get in my hands last year," Iguodala said. "(This season is) a different situation. But I definitely feel like I have an advantage, and I'll try to take advantage of it."
There's one bit of admitted urgency to this series: Iguodala has said the team is playing to save Jackson's job.
Do you really think that, Andre?
"It's more so just being sarcastic about (the idea that Jackson could be in trouble)," Iguodala said, shrugging his shoulders. "It's funny even to be mentioning it or even be talking about it, with the job that he's done, coming from his first year, increasing the win total every year."
It's not being sarcastic to suggest that a victory in this series would go a long way to giving Jackson and his players a sense of security into the future.
To do that, Jackson needs more from Iguodala — maybe handling the ball, with Curry and Thompson running off screens at the wings.
And if the Clippers fall off of him to defend the two guards, Iguodala should be wide open.
Also, Iguodala could get a lot more time defending Clippers star point guard Chris Paul.
Or somebody else?
"I like guarding anybody," Iguodala said. "I might guard Blake, you never know."
Iguodala said this with his normal deadpan expression. He was joking but maybe he also was signaling that he knows he's in the spotlight now, and that it's time.

Our garden lies in what Sunset calls "one of Northern California's finest horticultural climates." We are located in an area of wet mild winters and dry mild summers — a Mediterranean climate zone. It's a region with unique challenges and opportunities. I love gardening here.
Approaches to gardening are strongly determined by scale. Our garden is a small family garden. Its core was formerly a swimming pool. Often we might be growing just a single plant in a container, or a handful of plants, where a larger-scale gardening operation might be planting long rows of crops. Over time we have adjusted to find the right balance for our home garden.
All this new stuff goes on top
turn it over, turn it over
wait and water down
from the dark bottom
turn it inside out
let it spread through
Sift down even
Watch it sprout.
A mind like compost.

After posting on Thursday that I am to receive a medal, one of our students sent me this photograph on Friday:
He's on a scholarship to an international school, and he won THREE medals at a sports day last week.
I think I've been trumped!
I bet it never felt so good to be bettered!
You're right about that, @Mosh... I can't be a sore loser when I get beaten like this!
That really did make me laugh out loud.
It's all relative isn't it? Kudos to him!
Great photo too! :-)
... and kudos to you too of course! :-)

Living Golf is CNN's monthly golf show. Click here for videos, news and features.
(CNN) -- The scene: Muirfield's short-game practice area last July. It's Open Championship week and a boy who looks about 14 is playing from the bunker next to Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald. Only his girlfriend is watching him: all cameras are focused on the two British stars.
Two children are stopping every player leaving the practice ground, asking for autographs. When it's his turn, the young man pauses, smiles and signs. They thank him.
He's just started to walk away when one of the children calls after him: "Excuse me, Mr. ..." -- the player stops and turns -- "...but who are you?"
With a slightly shy smile he replies simply, "Matt Fitzpatrick."
The children are not alone. When Fitzpatrick practices on the Muirfield range, an official mistakes him for Tiger Woods' ball-boy.
That most certainly won't be happening at Augusta National this week.
For Fitzpatrick -- who still looks much younger than his 19 years -- has made a big impression since those days of mistaken identity.
Not that he's changed his modest, courteous demeanor. Rather, his achievements and actions on and off the course have spoken loudly enough of a rich talent and a steely-quiet determination.
First, the young British Open qualifier from Sheffield went on to make the cut at Muirfield, then to win the Silver Medal for best amateur.
The following month he traveled to Boston and became the first Englishman in 102 years to claim the U.S. Amateur trophy.
Then he caused just as big a stir by leaving a top U.S. college golf scholarship after just one term. Northwestern and its coach Pat Goss had guided former world No. 1 Luke Donald, but Fitzpatrick decided the Illinois university wasn't for him and didn't return from his Christmas holiday back home in Sheffield.
"The last couple of weeks of university I had a lot of time to think," he told CNN's Living Golf at his Hallamshire golf club in Sheffield. "Just studying in my room and I wasn't doing much else.
"I wanted to take my golf as far as I could and I felt like it was hard to keep it progressing. I was almost doing more school work than golf."
His change of heart lies partly in that clear focus, partly in the chronology.
He'd signed his letter of intent with Northwestern after he'd won the British Boys' Championship in 2012. Back then, he could only dream of qualifying for the Open, winning the Silver Medal and beating the world's best to claim the U.S. Amateur.
But it happened, life changed and plans had to be rethought.
The crucial point was that his U.S. Amateur victory had opened many doors. Invitations to three of the four majors this year, including The Masters. Starts on the PGA Tour. A place at the Scottish Open. He could start to put together a schedule that would be the envy of many young pros.
He's also had overtures from top agents, including Tiger's. They know a winner when they see one.
For beyond the raw talent, when you talk to Fitzpatrick's parents and others who've seen him win at every level from Hallamshire Club Championship upwards, they all speak of two or three other qualities critical for a career in golf. His dedication. His response to pressure: lifting his game when others might crumble. And his ability to think himself round a course.
He puts the latter down to his dad, Russell.
"I would always remember lectures coming back from tournaments and he would say, 'Why did you hit that club there, there was no need.' And I'd look back and think, 'Well, he's right.' "
Despite the discussions with agents and top players, Fitzpatrick doesn't yet know when he'll turn professional. In part it's so he can take up his invites to the Masters, U.S. Open and his home Open.
And in part because, as he says, "I don't know if I'm ready yet ... I think I have a lot of room for improvement. But if you have a top-10 at the U.S. Open or the British Open you sort of have to re-evaluate I guess."
His immediate goal? "I would like to be the lowest amateur for all three majors."
And so to the first of these this week at Augusta National. Fitzpatrick will be sleeping in the Crow's Nest, the traditional lodging place in the Augusta clubhouse reserved for invited amateurs.
He's already played a few practice rounds and can't wait to get started. It's a course that demands patience, strategy and a great short-game.
On that basis Fitzpatrick must have a decent chance of following last year's 14-year-old sensation Guan Tianlang of China, and making the cut.
If he does, it would be yet another remarkable achievement in a remarkable nine months.
Not that he'd shout about it: the large contingent over from Hallamshire, led by his parents, would do that for him.
Fitzpatrick himself, the quiet young man from the city of steel, would be knuckling down again, taking nothing for granted in this fickle game, just focusing on the next step to wherever his talent can take him.

Colorado Springs, Colo., Apr 3, 2013 / 04:03 am (CNA).- The Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration are thrilled at the approved beatification of their German founder, Mother Maria Theresia Bonzel, after a Vatican-recognized miracle in Colorado.
"We are enthusiastically surprised," Sister Clarice Gentrup, the congregation's vicar general, told CNA April 2.
"After all these years, we're coming closer and closer to beatification and canonization, possibly."
Pope Francis approved the 19th century nun's beatification on March 27. The ceremony will be celebrated at the Catholic cathedral in Paderborn, Germany on Nov. 10 and her hometown of Olpe will host an event on Nov. 11.
The miracle attributed to Mother Maria Theresia involves the healing of a Colorado Springs boy named Luke Burgie. In September 1998, at the age of four, he began suffering from a severe viral infection that caused chronic diarrhea. Many doctors and specialists could not cure him.
"Nobody could really diagnose what the cause of it was," Sr. Gentrup said. "They tried to heal him, but nothing helped. He was losing weight, and a little four-year-old doesn't have a lot of weight to lose."
Luke's older sister Jill met some Sisters of St. Francis when they visited her parish elementary school, where she was a student. Her family invited two sisters to supper at their home, where they learned about Luke's illness. The sisters began a novena to Mother Maria Theresia for Luke in late January 1999.
Luke was suddenly cured on Feb. 22, 1999, without scientific explanation.
His mother said that he "just got up from the couch and began playing like a normal happy kid," the Sisters of St. Francis reported on their website. At the time, Luke simply said "Jesus healed me."
Sr. Gentrup, who lives in Colorado Springs, said the boy is doing well fourteen years later.
"He was a healthy strong, wrestler in high school. He rides his bicycle and runs marathons," Sr. Gentrup said. "He's a normal, healthy teenager."
She and her other Sisters of St. Francis are glad to see recognition of their foundress.
"Right now we're very grateful she will be beatified. She was such a wonderful woman and such an inspiration to so many, many, many sisters."
Mother Maria Theresia was born in Olpe in the German region of Westphalia on Sept. 17, 1830. She founded the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration in Olpe in 1863.
Her sisters cared for orphans, worked in teaching, and provided health care among many other acts of charity. They suffered under the "Kulturkampf," the nineteenth-century German government's program against the Catholic Church.
"She lived in some very difficult times in Germany," Sr. Gentrup said.
Many laws and regulations tried to suppress religious work. Government officials said Mother Maria Theresia could not take care of orphans and they had to be placed in homes. One day a government officer came to her door and objected that she was still caring for orphans.
"She called all the orphans together and said 'officer, here they are, they're yours,'" Sr. Gentrup recounted. "And he said, 'okay, we'll give you a few more months to place them in homes.'"
"That's the kind of determination Mother Maria Theresia had."
She died on Feb. 6, 1905, at which time about 1,500 sisters were members of her congregation. Her sisters now minister in Germany, the U.S., the Philippines and Brazil.
Sr. Gentrup said Mother Maria Theresia had "a deep, deep faith in God and in Jesus, the Risen Christ." Her devotion especially focused on the Blessed Sacrament.
"She always wanted a sister in the church or in the chapel, always praying for her work and for the work of everybody in the world, to move the whole world closer to the reign of God here on earth."
The Sisters of Perpetual Adoration foundress wanted her congregation to "balance works of mercy with prayer.
Mother Maria Theresia's advance towards beatification also drew comment from Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs
"I share the joy of our Franciscan sisters that their foundress Mother Bonzel will be beatified. It's wonderful to know that she has been so close to us in her intercessory prayer," Bishop Sheridan said April 2.
After she is beatified, Mother Maria Theresia will need one more recognized miracle to advance towards official sainthood.

Munters Desiccant Rotor
The basic idea of the Munters desiccant drying wheel (rotor) is very simple: Air is blown though the rotor structure and the humidity in the air is absorbed by the desiccant impregnated in the honeycombe media that forms the rotor structure. The air leaves the rotor much drier than when it entered.
A drive motor turns the rotor around slowly (6-10 times an hour).
The rotor structure passes a seperate sector where hot (reactiviation) air is blown through the rotor to remove the accumulated moisture. The resulting wet air (which contains the removed moisture) is blown away outside.

Friday's slice
Yesterday I went out for lunch with my boyfriend, Sarah and Arsenio to a mall a bit far from our towns because in it there are a lot of different shops we can't find here and also Sarah never saw it before! Unluckily I didn't find something good so I bought only a new bra I really needed and a purple nail polish ( I noticed in my "little" collection I didn't have a real purple one ahah), but firstly we went to the chinese restaurant in the second floor of the mall. They have a lot of different yummy plates so I'm always really happy to eat there!
The thing I really needed to buy is a new bra with the X braces because I recently received my new parcel with the summer dresses and I noticed all of them have this braces shape, I don't really like to show my underwear so a special bra for them was totally necessary (and it was also really hard to find °_°), the only bad thing is I hate to spend many money for simple underwear XD.
Sarah and me did some weird poses in the bathroom XD.
We went around the stores for many hours but ALL the items were so ugly and cheap, sometimes I find something really cute in local stores but maybe the spring/summer collections are really bad this year….luckily I bought some summer dresses online, I didn't know how I could deal with summer without something cute to wear ahah!
Vest Pull&Bear – Dress Glavil – Choker Ghost of Harlem – Tights Glad News – Bag Armani jeans – Boots Jeffrey Campbell
And lastly my outfit! Maybe someone of you will recognize the wig, I decided to straight it and now I like it more than when it was curled, sometimes it's nice to totally restyle a wig, it's like you have a new wig without spending money XD I would like to buy so many new wigs in this moment but summer is near and I cannot use them during the hot season :( I don't know what to do.
Today I will stay at home with my boyfriend because I feel like shit XD the last episode of American Masterchef will entertain us! I hope you'll have a lovely weekend dear reader!

On Tuesday, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson met with Iowa farmers and visited a biofuel facility. While continuing the Obama administration's push for alternative energy sources, both claimed to have been enlightened and insisted the EPA is not the enemy of agriculture.
"We had a chance to visit a biodiesel facility in Newton," said Vilsack during an afternoon press conference. "We got a good briefing from representatives from the renewable fuel industry about … improving the bottom line for farmers and ranchers as well as creating jobs in rural America."
For Vilsack's comments on ethanol and food prices, see Vilsack: no correlation between food prices and ethanol.
The pair also learned "about additional feedstocks to use in working towards the Renewable Fuels Standard."
According to Vilsack, Iowa agriculture leaders had "45 minutes to ask questions of both of us. It was a good opportunity to have an exchange of information and (Jackson) was given the opportunity to clear any myths or misconceptions … about the actions of EPA."
Those leaders "could not remember the last time an EPA administrator had visited Iowa and … sat down with farmers and ranchers."
This was not the first time Jackson has tried to deal with the "myths and misconceptions" about the EPA. In early March, the agency released a document citing five common myths as Jackson testified before an unhappy House Agriculture Committee.
For more, see EPA slammed in House hearing.
Surprisingly, while on the Tuesday tour, Jackson claimed not to have heard from anyone asking EPA to be hands off towards agriculture. Instead, "what I saw today is an industry that recognizes that the regulations and standards under environmental law are for the protection of all Americans. I saw incident after incident, example after example, of people who aren't asking not to be regulated, not asking to be completely left alone, but probably have first-hand – better than most Americans' – knowledge that clean water is very important."
Jackson continued: "I didn't have anyone – not one person – walk up and say 'please, just go away. Take EPA away.' What they asked was that we make sure (EPA) rules and regulations reflect reality on the ground, the challenges that farmers and ranchers face.
"We talked about, over and over again, why EPA is compelled to do things. For instance, the (potential EPA regulation of) dust came up. We talked about the fact that fine particles and particulate matter under the Clean Air Act is a killer. It kills hundreds of thousands of Americans prematurely every year.
"So, they don't want us to go away. Of course they don't want Americans to be unprotected. They want to ensure our rules make sense on the ground – that we aren't regulating dust when we should be regulating soot. That's more than reasonable."
The Tuesday interactions allowed Jackson to "learn" that whether dealing with livestock operations, row-crops, or biodiesel "it's about innovation. There really is remarkable innovation happening right here on the ground. Innovation I saw … was innovation in terms of business: to make crops more productive, operations more efficient. (These are) things that are really good for the farmer or rancher but have great impact on water quality and air quality. It's true win-win…
"EPA has a specific mission. But there's no reason for us to do that in competition with agriculture. In fact, what I learned here today just reinforces my belief that there are tremendous win-win opportunities."
Conservation programs were also on the tour schedule – especially work being done by Iowa farmers in the Upper Mississippi River Basin "pursuant to the USDA program that's a specialized watershed program," said Vilsack. As a result, "we've begun an assessment of whether or not those conservation techniques are actually effective, to be able to quantify how much soil erosion was avoided, how much nitrogen and phosphorus is no longer getting into the rivers and streams and, ultimately, the Mississippi.
When better able to "quantify and measure these conservation results (it might mean) creating markets that might attract private sector capital and investment for folks looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint."
This will be done in concert with the EPA, said Vilsack, so "those who engage aggressively and appropriately in conservation would get regulatory certainty in terms of their operations."
Jackson said such collaboration is "an opportunity for EPA to do two things it does well. One, EPA spends a lot of time quantifying the impact on water quality of reductions. We think a partnership with USDA, the state and commodity groups will be fruitful on both sides.
"Also, we're in charge of water quality protection. And we're seeing that happen downstream because of the folks who have stepped in Iowa. And they can help their neighbors, frankly, understand the importance and impact of these rules."
At that point, Jackson wanted to shoot down another myth. "There is fear, real fear, in Iowa that we'll take what we're doing in Chesapeake Bay and transfer it here without regard to what's already happening on the ground. Today's visit gave me the opportunity to ensure that isn't our approach. Chesapeake is special and they shouldn't necessarily assume we'll use those same tools everywhere across the country."

Iceland: Where Hydrogen Energy Is Hot!
by M. Ann Baker
The energy world is watching Iceland with awe. Why? Because this island country to the north has begun implementing a plan to become the first economy in the world fueled by hydrogen. The idea is not new. In 1874, author Jules Verne predicted that water would be the fuel of the future.
Gulping Fuel!
Situated just below the Arctic Circle, Iceland hosts a lifestyle that requires huge quantities of energy. Because of the cold climate, buildings and houses need large amounts of heat. A small population living on a big island means traveling long distances. The large fishing trawlers, which provide 70 percent of Iceland's exports, need oil and gasoline to run. It is no wonder that Iceland uses more energy per capita than any other European country.
With no fossil fuel resources of its own, Iceland must import them. In the first half of the 20th century, importing coal and oil became a strain on the island's economy; it became particularly risky during World War II. Even worse, Reykjavik, the capital city, had a major smog problem, and the pollution was harming the fishing industry.
Eager to become less dependent on imported energy, Iceland replaced two-thirds of its coal and oil energy with renewable sources. They harnessed the abundant hydroelectric and geothermal power on the island. Now, geothermal energy is used for heat and for everything from hot water to vegetable greenhouses. Hydroelectric and geothermal power provide electricity to almost 100 percent of the island's people.
Iceland has already gone further than any other nation in using its abundant sources of renewable energy. Yet, it still produces more greenhouse gas emissions per person than any other country. The reason? The island still relies on imported oil to power all of its cars, buses, and fishing trawlers. But this is changing.
Enter the Fuel Cell
The key to Iceland's energy restructuring is the fuel cell. Fuel cells provide a solution to the problem of how to convert renewable resources. By using the energy of hydroelectric and geothermal power, it is possible—through the process of electrolysis—to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The energy released can then be stored and transported in the form of hydrogen fuel cells. The cells are highly efficient when used to power cars, buses, and fishing trawlers, and they are quiet, too. The only emission from a hydrogen fuel cell–powered vehicle would be water.
On October 2, 2003, three hydrogen fuel cell buses arrived in Reykjavik. Built by DaimlerChrysler, these buses operate on normal service routes and refuel at the Shell Hydrogen station.
Plenty of groundwork preceded the buses' arrival. In 1997, the Icelandic government announced its intention to transform Iceland into an economy fueled by hydrogen. The first country in the world to make a full commitment to a sustainable, nonpolluting energy system, the Icelandic government set a time line for completion of this transformation in 2050.
Iceland's Althing, or parliament, set up a committee to study the transformation. In 1999, DaimlerChrysler, Norsk Hydro, and Royal Dutch/Shell entered into a joint venture with Vistorka, an Icelandic consortium, to create the Iceland New Energy Co. Ltd. All of these companies came into the venture with experience in fuel cells and hydrogen.
In April 2003, Shell Hydrogen launched the first commercial hydrogen fuel station in Reykjavik. It is actually beside and part of a traditional Shell gasoline fuel station. It produces its own hydrogen from tap water and electricity from Iceland's hydroelectric and geothermal energy sources.
Right now, the three hydrogen fuel–celled buses will be the hydrogen fueling station's only customers. For two years, the buses will be demonstrated, tested, and used to research the social acceptance and environmental aspects of hydrogen technology in Icelandic conditions, and to see if they are cost effective. Three buses amount to 4 percent of the total bus fleet in Reykjavik. But, should they be successful, the goal is to replace the entire fleet with them.
The next step may come as early as this year, when Iceland will begin buying hydrogen fuel cell automobiles for government fleets. At the same time, more hydrogen filling stations will be needed. In three years, hydrogen-powered private cars will be introduced to the Icelandic market, and by 2015, the Icelandic government is scheduled to begin renewing the fishing fleet using fuel cells.
The Future of Fuel Cells
Although fuel cell technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last ten years, Iceland's progress will depend "on the speed of technological development, and on the creativity and leadership of scientists, engineers, and industry leaders," says Siv Fridleifsdottir, Iceland's minister for the environment.
Iceland has become a 39,000-square-mile laboratory for a hydrogen-based economy. Although small (only 290,000 people), it is a highly developed society with experience in switching from one energy source to another. Its standards and transport systems are similar to those in most other developed countries, so the results of its research project could easily be applied to other nations. The harsh Icelandic weather, its seasonal changes, and its varied landscape will be a good test for the new technology.
There are still some problems that Iceland must overcome. Cost and storage are just two. Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe, and finding a convenient, cheap form of storage remains a big problem. The cost of fuel cells, although much more reasonable than in the past, still remains high. Replacing gasoline stations with hydrogen fueling stations and other necessary infrastructure is also costly. Valgerdur Sverrisdottir, Iceland's minister for industry, says that the government is doing all it can to help Iceland New Energy overcome these obstacles. And it helps that Icelanders are proud of the fact that about two-thirds of their energy consumption is from renewable energy sources, according to Sverrisdottir. "When the hydrogen technology becomes economically feasible, I think that Icelanders will be quick to adopt the new technology," she says.
What Is a Fuel Cell?

A fuel cell is a device that uses hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity by an electrochemical process. It operates like a battery that can be recharged while you are drawing power from it.
Hydrogen fuel is fed into the anode (positively charged electrode) of the fuel cell. Oxygen or air enters the fuel cell through the cathode (negatively charged electrde). Encouraged by a catalyst, the hydrogen atom splits into a proton and and electron. The proton moves throught the electrolyte to the cathode and combines with the oxygen and electrons, producing water and heat.
The electron cannot pass through the electroyte and must travel around it via an electric circut to reach the other side of the cell. This movement of electrons create an electrical current.
Since a single fuel cell produces only about 0.7 volt, individual fuel cells are typically combined in a series to form a fuel cell stack. A typical stack may consist of hundreds of fuel cells.
NASA has been using fuel cells since the 1960s. Today, the space shuttle's electricty is provided by fuel cells, and the same fuel cells provide drinking water for its crew.
- electrolysis:
- Chemical change produced in an electrolyte, a chemical compound that ionizes (atoms give up or take on an electron) when dissolved to produce an electrically conductive medium.
- What are the drawbacks of using hydrogen as an energy source?
[anno: Hydrogen is the lightest element. It is difficult to find a convenient, cheap form of storage for this element. Fuel cells are expensive.]
- What is the primary element in traditional fuel sources?
[anno: The primary element in traditional fuel sources is carbon.]
- Why might this element make traditional fuel sources easier to use?
[anno: Answers will vary but could include that because carbon is a solid, it is easier to store and transport.]
- Study the periodic table in Lesson 1. Find two other elements that are used as energy sources or in the production of an energy source. Write down the name of each element and the kind of energy it is used to produce.
[anno: Answers will vary but could include the use of uranium to produce nuclear energy and the use of lithium in batteries.]

Mule Days in Ralston are a Big Deal
Plus I forgot to mention annual Mule Days rodeo, parade, and mule auction, when one lane of highway blocked off for two block long parade, attracts mules from all over the country, a major mule event. Unfortunately, Jimmy Dunton's bar is extinct. I will include further details and advantages of Ralston as I become inspired to mention them. Beats the traffic on I-15 in Salt Lake City, fer sure.

OK, I'm waiting for a deluge of comments after catching heck for ignoring the Penrose blog for a time. But does anyone care about Ralston mule days? And whether I am posting on the blog? Apparently not.

Oho! Stung, by gum! Of course we care - can't carry on without you, your pithy comments and your pictures. As for Ralston Mule Days and the big parade, (for which they used to close the highway for a short time), that's not a thing to get all hot and bothered about - couldn't care less, in fact.

I told Dwight that Bob Baird always tries to tie his visits to Powell so he can attend Ralston Mule Days. What motivation

Okay… so there seems to have been a little issue with yesterdays post. Apparently it posted but I somehow altered the date to the 12th so it posted way down the list. Oops! I found it! 😉 And now it is below the Fresh Baked Goodies post – so please scroll down and snag it as well. 🙂
If you have some time today – we'd love to have you join us for a speed scrap today with Cari Cruse. This one is very time friendly for our friends that aren't in the US. 🙂 Hope to see you there!

It's a simple design but I like the way it came together!
Patchwork Embroidery
Sunday, August 7, 2011
I made this hoop for a swap partner who likes patchwork, trees and life! The tree design is from the book Doodle Stitching. I used a chain stitch and teeny tiny pieces of felt for the leaves.
It's a simple design but I like the way it came together!

I haven't posted in a bit -- this past week was my Spring Break and I went to Los Angeles for a few days and I just lazed around after returning (other than taking the GMAT yesterday, yikes). I've been doing NOTDs (which I've been posting on Instagram) but I'll catch up posting here, too :)
Now, I've been lemming gold flake polishes forever (starting with the Rococo original) but couldn't justify the price. Mainstream brands such as Zoya, OPI and Sephora by OPI were nice enough to release their versions of the gold flake polish. I got one from each brand, and they're all pretty different (in size of gold flakes) so I feel it's semi justified. That and I didn't pay full price for any of them (usually 50% off).
I was wondering what to use for a St. Patrick's mani when I thought, green of course! and the bottle of OPI: Man with the Golden Gun that was sitting on my desk caught my eye and the idea was born. Of course, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with this mani idea and I've seen a few NOTDs already with the same theme but great minds think alike, yes?
I layered all three polishes over Pahlish: Stroke of Luck (which I felt was appropriate also).
In the shade picture, you can see the square glitters in the Pahlish. It also has tiny gold glitter, which is hidden by my use of gold flake topcoats.
The smallest flakes are from Sephora by OPI, and the larger/medium sized ones are from Zoya and OPI.
I don't like shard shaped glitter but I like how the gold looks. Hope everyone has an excellent day!

One of the family traditions I started when our daughters were little is that when the family was here on Christmas Eve, the youngest child in each of the families present would place Baby Jesus in the manger after everyone had arrived. The children looked forward to it and it was an exciting time to remind us all of the real meaning of Christmas. I hope that someday it will be a tradition that our daughters will choose pass on to their children.
Once again, we will host open house on Christmas Eve. In 36 years of marriage there is only one year we did not host open house. Today I'm off to the market to see what hors d'oeuvres are available. For many years, I prepared for Christmas Eve spending days cooking our family's traditional ragou, tourtière and pies (my Mémère's recipes the my Mother's). Some of the nephews and nieces have used the recipes handed down so I don't do much of that anymore. Though some traditions change they are the same. Life is a paradox.
Wherever you will be this Christmas Eve and Christmas, I hope you enjoy family traditions or good memories of Christmas past! May you know the warmth and comfort of family and friends - know that I will be thinking of all of you in my own way and a prayer will be said that all of you know the many blessings that Christmas can bring!
Your cousin Lucie

LiquidRed, Expect More. http://www.liquidredconsulting.com
My business partner and I are returning from an around the world adventure and after working in the Technology Consulting world for several years we are starting our own consulting firm. In short, we are looking to build a firm with only the best consultants in the industry. We will never let our standards go low simply to place a consultant and will continuously ensure that our consultants are of the highest quality.

The age range of clients will be anywhere from 25 - 65 and have diverse set of roles from programmers up to Senior Executives (including CEO's, CIO's, etc).
We would also like the logo to give pride to our employee's making them a secondary audience. The logo/brand should make the employee's proud of who they work for.
The logo should include:

+ Name - LiquidRed (as one word)
+ Tag-Line - Expect More.
- The color red
The logo should be modern, sleek and cutting-edge. It should be simple and timeless in style but powerful in appearance.

Donald Trump made his highly-(self)-touted "announcement" Wednesday (Oct. 24) regarding President Obama. It was not so much an announcement as it was a deal, with shades of "ultimatum" thrown in.
Trump says (edited for length):
President Obama is the least transparent president in the history of this country. There's never been anything like it.
RELATED: Famous Romney supporters
If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give to a charity of his choice — inner city children in Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS research, anything he wants — a check, immediately, for $5 million. The check will be given within one hour after he releases the records so stated.
If he releases these records, it will end the question and indeed the anger of many Americans. They'll know something about their president. Their president will become transparent, like other presidents.
RELATED: Famous Donald Trump feuds
So all he has to do to get $5 million for the charity or charities or his choice, is get his colleges to immediately give his applications and records, and release his passport records. When he does that, to my satisfaction, if it's complete, this check is delivered immediately.
RELATED: Famous Obama supporters
A lot of people will be very, very happy to see this happen. Frankly, it's a check that I very much want to write. I absolutely would be the most happy of all if I did, in fact, make this contribution through the president to these charities.
These records must be given by Oct. 31 at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
So, this is still about whether or not President Obama was born in the United States? Is that what this is about?

The suspicious package that shut down Noland Road for more than eight hours on Tuesday was not a public threat, the FBI said Friday.
FBI spokesperson Bridget Patton said the device in a box on the parking lot of Super 8 motel on South Lynn Court near Interstate 70 and Noland Road was not an explosive device.
"It was no threat to public safety as it turns out," Patton said. "It was designed to look like an explosive device used in extreme sports but was not an explosive device."
Patton said that a man called the FBI Tuesday when he heard the news and explained that the device they found was his and had been stolen from his vehicle.
Patton said the fake device was just likely discarded in the Super 8 lot by the person who stole it.
Patton would not confirm that a threat was called into a Super 8 employee prior to discovering the box in the parking lot, as one employee said on Tuesday.
Independence police – using robots and men dressed in haz-mat suits – dismantled the device Tuesday after closing down Noland Road between I-70 and 39th Street from approximately 9 a.m. to about 5:30 p.m.
Police called in the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and an ordnance team from Fort Dodge, Iowa, to assist in the investigation. The FBI took over the investigation after the device was dismantled.
Patton and Independence police spokesperson Tom Gentry said as of now there is no believed connection with the suspicious package that was found on a bus in Blue Summit on Aug. 16. That package turned out to be a hoax improvised explosive device.

Mayor's Office
Work resumed today on the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln's West Haymarket area. Construction was suspended Tuesday, December 20 because of an issue with the reinforcing steel or "rebar" from the supplier, Drake-Williams of Omaha. The one-week delay was necessary to allow time for replacement rebar to be fabricated and delivered.
The builders - Mortenson Construction and Hampton Enterprises - also have modified their on-site inspection process to ensure that all rebar received is bent to the proper radius. In addition, Terracon, the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency's independent testing firm for Pinnacle Bank Arena, also will confirm that delivered material conforms to industry standards.
The rebar problem was discovered when two of the bars failed. After reviewing all the rebar on site, the design, inspection and construction team determined that the larger bars were improperly bent in the fabrication shop. Independent lab testing is being conducted to confirm there is no materials flaw in addition to the fabrication/bending error. Those results are still pending.
The project's structural engineers are conducting an analysis to determine how much of the completed work will need correction. The engineers from Buro Happold and DLR are analyzing each structural element placed to date.
The work under way today is on new portions of the foundation using new rebar fabricated to the correct specifications.

Snow Update
The latest models suggest that tonight and tomorrow morning there will be light snow in the Cascades (a few inches at most), and perhaps a dusting SE of the Olympics...and maybe a few flurries over the Puget Sound lowlands....check out the 24-h snow forecast ending 4 PM tomorrow.
21 comments:
Cliff, that map sure is peculiar.Why would the only snow being predicted for Puget Sound Area lies within the Seattle City limits, especially around the Downtown area? Is it hinting at a minor burst of lake (or sound)effect snow, or, more likely,just trying to tell us if a CZ were to form, it would likely be right over Seattle?
- January 24, 2009 at 1:19 PM
- CherryCherryBoomBoom said...
I agree with Anonymous. It seems odd that there is a small area of possible flurries over Seattle
- January 24, 2009 at 3:39 PM
I would love nothing more than to see everyone outside of Seattle miss out one this one --- 95% of the time, everyone outside of Seattle gets way more snow. Not that a measly quarter-inch is proper vindication, but still, let's stick in to the eastside and north sound for once!
- January 24, 2009 at 4:35 PM
- Cliff Mass Weather Blog said...
Well, I suspect that the model just happened to put those flurries over Seattle and that there is no guarantee Seattle will see anything.
- January 24, 2009 at 5:09 PM
Sister in NE Portland confirms light snow there now.
- January 24, 2009 at 5:10 PM
So, Cliff ~ Does it look like we might have any windstorms headed our way in the long term forcast? Towards the end of next week it looks like we should be getting more rain in the lowlands & snow in the mountains....Just wondering if it will come in with wind?

Spitting tiny rain drops/snow? here on west-side of Queen Anne Hill - good to be safely home - oh, so hard to predict - there is a place on West McGraw Street where always the rain turns into snow - it is between 5th and 6th West - Wonderfully remarkable as it happens year after year. Looking forward to Spring, sun, warmth - the tips of the early crocus and snowdrops have punched their way through the cold, clammy soil. Hope ... Madeleine
