Those two large boxes contained...... 100,000 hexagons! 50,000 of the little darlings in each. Did anyone come close to guessing that number? The funny thing is, we need at least that many again to complete the current block-of-the-month membership! Everywhere we turn at the shop there is another pile of hexagons.
This week we had another 'Midday to Midnight Madness' here at Somerset. Non stop stitching for 12 hours straight. There was lots of stitching, glueing, laughter and lollies! Most of the girls made it right through to the end.
Mary was preparing her final border for Mrs Billings, yes more hexagons. She is keeping track of each coloured patch she cuts and glues inside these bags. It is amazing the things we use to store our patchwork bits and pieces; zip lock bags, tupperware containers and fishing tackle boxes to name a few.
Lois has stitched a few more of her 'star a day' blocks from the chocolate box. I think she will be up to date very soon.
Aren't they lovely!
Jenny brought her 'Kings Crown' centre block in for show and tell from last weeks class.
Jenny was back again today working on a 'Carpenters Square' block in Linda Bears class.
And this block belongs to Tracey, who also joined todays Summer School class.
We are nearly at the end of classes for this January and thoughts are moving to first term. This next term is a short one, but we will try to include as many workshops as possible to keep you stitching.
Keeping watching for more Mrs Billings quilt updates, I know there are a few more out there getting close to completion!
Until next time,
When in doubt, wear RED shoes!

Zhang XiaogangUntitled (Bloodline Series, 1997Öl/Canvas© Sammlung SiggPhoto courtesy of The Peabody Essex Museum
Swiss collector Uli Sigg, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ringier Group and former Swiss Ambassador to China, Mongolia and North Korea from 1995 to 1998, has taken a keen interest in China and its culture since the late 1970s. Together with his wife Rita, he has been building a collection devoted exclusively to Chinese art since the mid-1990s, and can justly be regarded as a pioneer in this field. Having initially concentrated on the acquisition of new art, Sigg soon began to extend his collection to include 'historic' works of Chinese avant-garde art from the 1980s and early 90s.
This show provides an overview of a quarter of a century of Chinese avant-garde art (1979–2005). Huang Yongping, Wang Guangyi, Gu Wenda, Zhang Peili, Xu Bing, and Geng Jianyi, Huang Rui, Ma Desheng, Wang Keping, Song Dong, Ai Weiwei, Zhang Peili, Weng Fen, Fang Lijun are among the artists whose works are on view. In contrast with the strong abstract tendencies often seen in modern Western art, a great deal of China's contemporary art has been figurative in character — the visual legacy of Soviet era Social Realism. Cinema, photography, pop art and advertising have fused with this style resulting in the work of artists such as Liu Xiaodong's painting of party cadres on holiday, and Hai Bo's restaging of a photograph taken during the era of the Cultural Revolution. The rise of a burgeoning consumer economy, the immensity of sprawling cities and the new propaganda of brand culture have also provided ample inspiration for many Chinese artists.

Marilinda Rivera Natural raw artist born in Dominican Republic raised in Puerto Rico now based in Los Angeles.
Actress/model always attracted to create through her passions. Before living in Los Angeles resides in New York while as a model marks her territory with her victory of reality show Project Runway Season 3.
After Project Runway's victory many doors opened up for Marilinda. Working with several high fashion designers like Galliano, Roberto Cavalli and many others including campaigns for Old Navy, Target, Nexus and many others.
Her dark side is the dominant in her art becoming alive in such beautiful way that keeps her in alert of her unconsciousness reminding her life's roller coaster possibilities. Her work is inspired by self experiences in life; from running from love to open to life. She sculpts with used founded materials, like styrofoam and founded metals like nails representing POWER and a NEW POSSIBILITY.
Marilinda's latest exciting project is her inclusion as one of only 10 local artists invited to take part in Westfield Century City philanthropic holiday program, 'The Reindeer Project,' a first-of-its-kind holiday art collection of 12 oversized acrylic reindeer designed by prominent L.A. artists for an auction benefiting Inner-City Arts. It is a way for Marilinda to use her art to give back to the community, especially giving back to the children, a very important mission in her life
Her dramatic experiences allows her to breakthrough all obstacles through art. Creates a raw influential path with music and fashion.
The highlight of her work: 50% commissions go to her mission in Amboseli Africa, to give the Maasai Village she visited last year an arts&crafts school to support the village. Her vision for the world is becoming a reality because of her passion for art by organizing art group shows and musical events to promote and fundraise her mission. A humanitarian was born after her travels, specially this one: AFRICA, The Mother Land. Intrigued enough she begins to collaborate with other artists and musicians like Mujer X, Juan Sanchez Diaz, Don Gator and The Toledo Show.

The latest release of the University of Hong Kong's Hong Kong Residential Real Estate Series (HKU-REIS) indicating that, in February, the price of residential properties increased a notable 1.91% since January and rose 29.26% above the level seen in February 2012.
Clearly, the slight pullback in prices seen late 2012 has been completely surpassed by another, notable leg up.
With the prior late-90s era peak having been bested handily by the latest price run up, it will be interesting to see how long this period of house price inflation can run.
The HKU-REIS is a set of property price indices constructed monthly using a "modified" repeat-sale methodology similar to that of the S&P/Case-Shiller indices yet suited to the Hong Kong property market.

A 21-year-old man has been charged in a drive-by shooting that occurred earlier this month outside of a convenience store in Lexington.
William Da'Vonne Hodge of 100 Peacock Ave. has been arrested under the charge of felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $500,000 secured bond.
Atori Lamorris Lee, 23, of North Pugh Street, and Jakeel Malik Craven, 19, of Hallmark Drive, were shot about 2:20 p.m. June 16 at the Best Food Mart, which is at 203 Raleigh Road, according to the Lexington Police Department.
Officers located Lee lying on the sidewalk in front of the store. He had been shot in the foot by a projectile from a firearm. A police report stated multiple projectiles were fired at Lee and Craven.
The two suffered nonlife-threatening injuries, police stated in a press release. Craven was treated at Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center. Lee was treated at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
A warrant for Hodge's arrest was issued a day after the shooting. He was taken into custody Friday.
Emergency communications traffic during the early morning hours of June 17 indicated officers were searching for three men in a vehicle who allegedly took part in the shooting. It was unclear Monday morning if warrants had been issued on additional suspects as a spokesman with the LPD was not immediately available for comment.

Winning Qualified Bids: Bid (b) receives 60,000. Bid (e) receives

Minimum Bid Volume to accept 100/150 capacity allocation and Bid (e)
alone cannot create the Winning Bid Value). Under Section
13.10(d)(3)(A), we compare Combinations 1 and 2 for the highest
individual Maximum Bid Volumes, and find them all equal. Under
Section 13.10(d)(3)(B), the tie breaker goes to the Winning Bid Value
combination containing the Qualified Bid having the highest Maximum
Bid Volume and the lowest Minimum Bid Volume. In this case, Bid (b)
has the same (highest) Maximum Bid Volume as Bid (a) but a lower
Minimum Bid Volume. Therefore, Combination 2 wins.

Next: Remembering During Operations, Previous: Garbage Collecting Smobs, Up: Defining New Types (Smobs)
It is often useful to define very simple smob types — smobs which have no data to mark, other than the cell itself, or smobs whose immediate data word is simply an ordinary Scheme object, to be marked recursively. Guile provides some functions to handle these common cases; you can use this function as your smob type's mark function, if your smob's structure is simple enough.
If the smob refers to no other Scheme objects, then no action is necessary; the garbage collector has already marked the smob cell itself. In that case, you can use zero as your mark function.
If the smob refers to exactly one other Scheme object via its first
immediate word, you can use
scm_markcdr as its mark function.
Its definition is simply:
SCM scm_markcdr (SCM obj) { return SCM_SMOB_OBJECT (obj); }

Lindsay Lohan Says She's Never Been Drunk On Set, Respects The Law, Wants To Adopt A Son Someday
Lindsay Lohan brags how she's never been drunk on set, says jail was a blessing in disguise, claims she wants to adopt a boy one day, and advises against drinking and driving in a new interview in promotion of her film Liz & Dick, and RadarOnline.com has the details.
The 26-year-old, who's been frequently compared to Elizabeth Taylor on the promotional trail for her new TV movie, tells US magazine there's at least one difference between she and the Hollywood great.
"Elizabeth was drunk on sets. I've never been drunk on set, ever. I did my time and I respect the law."
Lindsay said she learned some life lessons while locked up in 2010, particularly when she was all by her lonesome.
"As hard as it was for me to admit it when I was in denial, it was a blessing in disguise," she said of her stint behind bars. "I was in solitary confinement and I took the time to really get into the right headspace."
She said she also made the best of a particularly bad situation during her multiple stints in rehab, referring to another old Hollywood icon in the process.
"Marilyn Monroe went to an institution and said, 'I may not belong here like the world thinks I do, but I might as well take what I can get here and use it and help other people,'" LiLo said. "I think that's what everyone should take from those experiences."
Asked if she wants to have kids, Lindsay said, "Yes. I want to adopt a son."
Despite her issues that have made for a jagged career path that's seen her fall from a potential A-lister to the TV movie comeback trail, the redhead says she has no regrets.
Without her past, Lindsay says she "wouldn't be able to cry in scenes at the drop of a hat.
"I have it tattooed: LIVE WITHOUT REGRETS. I'm not saying I wanted to go to a jail cell, but I've drawn from all of it."
Lastly, asked if she could go back in time 10 years and advise her 16-year-old self, Lindsay said, "Don't drink and drive. And be careful who you surround yourself with."

With the recent surge of puppy mills, auctions and backyard breeders, for
those of you interested in a Clumber Spaniel, please make sure you buy your
dog from a reputable and ethical breeder, or a member in good standing
with the Clumber Spaniel Club of America (CSCA). Make sure you research the
breed and do your homework, as well as screening the breeders thoroughly,
especially where health, temperament and pedigrees are concerned. The
Clumber Spaniel is not the breed for everyone and anyone, despite what books
and various descriptions state. Please make sure that the Clumber Spaniel is
indeed a breed that fits your lifestyle and will involve your total
commitment where training, socialization and proper overall care is
concerned, as well as being a loved, indoor member of the family.
Gail and Steve Sikes are member(s) in good standing
of the Clumber
Spaniel Club of America
and adhere to the
CSCA Code of Ethics and its Guidelines for Breeders

One lane of traffic on Highway 54 West is currently closed.
One lane of traffic on Highway 54 West past the Eldon/Tuscumbia exit toward Lake Ozark is currently closed due to a motor vehicle accident.
Earlier this afternoon, a semi truck carrying fuel is believed to have had a tire blow out, overturned and rolled down the embankment.
Multiple agencies are currently at the scene. At the moment, five tankers full of water are in route to the accident scene including tankers from Osage Beach, Tuscumbia and Rocky Mount. A haz-mat team has been called in and has responded.
The emergency personnel staging area is on Cave Point Road near the former Highway 54 Lloyd Belt location.
Lake News will update this story as soon as more details are available.

The city has the authority under its home-rule powers to franchise out Greenlight.
Dunnellon's city fathers still refuse to admit that Greenlight Communications was one big mistake. The city fathers in the last two articles printed in the Star-Banner state that the fiscal failure was caused by not borrowing enough money to fund Greenlight for five years, by which time they claim Greenlight would be financially self-sustaining.
The city initially borrowed $8 million to launch Greenlight in 2011. They borrowed another $4 million from the city's water and sewer utility reserves for a total of $12 million. The upkeep for the utility is $250,000 per month, or $3 million annually. To keep it going for five years, 2011-16, it would cost an additional $6.5 million, for a total of $15.5 million — and with only a 500-customer base to support it.
I don't think those figures support the city fathers' position. Further, Eddie Esch, the acting city manager, says the city water and sewer utility has enough money to sustain the utility services, and only the banks who loaned money for the water and sewer utility have to be concerned, as transfers from the water and sewer reserves may have violated the loan agreements. That is true.
However, the city should be concerned that the debt service incurred for water and sewer — approximately $14.5 million — is being financed by the city's utility customers, particularily the Rainbow Springs residents, who are paying an additional 25 percent surcharge. The result is using water and sewer reserves to pay for Greenlight's debts — which are Dunnellon's debts, not Rainbow Springs' debts.
Had the $4 million transfer to Greenlight been applied to the principal of the water and sewer utility loan, the city's rate increase on water and sewer rates would not be necessary.
In realty, Rainbow Springs residents are paying off city of Dunnellon's municipal cost through its water and sewer rates. It's taxation without representation.
In any event, now that the city has this albatross around its neck, a suggestion on how to resolve it: The city has the authority under its home-rule powers to franchise out Greenlight. Assuming the new attorney can work it out, I suggest that instead of selling Greenlight, in the present market, that the city offer a franchise for 10 years at a franchise fee of whatever is needed to pay the annual debt service due on Greenlight. At the end of the franchise period, the city will credit the franchisee all fees paid for the first option for the sale of Greenlight at the then market price.

Isn't this 1948 Kaiser Aluminum ad a gas? Its a veritable Christmas morning cornucopia of all things metallic... an expression of the unbridled enthusiasm a client can have for its own product. Kudos to Kaiser for pushing the concept WAY over the top.
I mean yes, the brand new bicycle is a familiar motif in scenes of Christmas morning...
... but a full-size aluminum playground slide in the living room? Yow! -- I wonder how late dad was up building that monstrosity!
Our own Charlie Allen did his share of Kaiser Aluminum ads, so I took the liberty of asking if he recognized this one. Charlie replied, "Wow....as usual, thought I knew everything about SF illustration in the old days. Had not seen that one. Have a strong hunch...judging from the figures..."
"...strong values..."
"...the dalmatian 'firehouse dog' (he liked those), etc..."
"... that it was done by Stan Galli. Before I got to P&H, for sure. The date of the ad also points to Galli. I joined P&H in l948, and probably did my first Kaiser ad in l951. Wonder if there are more out there?"
If there are, I'll be on the look out for them, Charlie - and many thanks for the assist!
Speaking of Charlie, he's got the latest installment of the CAWS posted, so head right over to Charlie Allen's Blog. "It'll keep the doctor away."

Wow, those are really fantastic. I love the strong values and bold colors, nothing soft or hesitant there and it really is that classic "everything for Christmas" merchandising message, the perfect family can have it all.

There has been a lot of talk about technology and young children. This has hit home with me. While a Kindergarten teacher for many years, I was always told, technology was not in the best interest of my students. They can't read, they can't write, they don't have fine motor skills, so they do not need computers or technology.
My answer to this was: Well, I guess we don't need pencils, they can't write, we don't need books, they can't read, and we don't need scissors, they don't have fine motor skills.
The purpose of education is to teach skills that students do not have yet, not pull things out of their reach because they don't have the skills. When a child first picks up a book, he has no idea of what it is, what it will do, what worth is it to him. He turns it round, throws it, and drops it. Eventually, he learns that books are entertaining and give him new words to practice, that it has pages that can be turned, but it follows a process of order and direction on which way the pages should be turned. There is also a direction that the book itself should be held.
Think of all the learning that has just taken place. Now let's look at a computer or iPad.
When the child first picks up an iPad, he has no idea of what it is, what it will do, what worth it is to him. He turns it round, throws it, drops it. Eventually, he learnes that iPads are entertaining and give him letters to remember, numbers to identify, objects to count and more. He learns that the pages can be turned by swiping his hand across the screen and that when you turn the iPad in various directions,things happen on the screen and when you are reading a book on it, it looks better in the landscape position because there is more room to see the pictures.
Both are learning tools. Both have a place in Kindergarten rooms, even though the students may not be able to read.
As much as some would love it, the Kindergarten student does not read all day. There are things to cut out, pictures to color, clay to mold, center times to be involved with, outside playtime, music class, physical education class, library class.

In my opinion, Kindergarten is for exploring the world and how it relates to a 5 year old. Technology is just part of that world that needs exploring, just as books are. Time limits on each tool are a given as there is a huge world out there to discover.
But why deny a child to look at the purple tulips just because he doesn't realize they are purple?

West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith hopes he can work himself into the mix for the top pick, and he thinks he can adjust to any NFL system.
But he knows that things got tougher for him and the rest of the rookie class based on the success of last year's quarterback class.
Asked Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine about the bar being raised by Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, Smith said it makes his job harder.
"Those guys changed expectations for many quarterbacks, let alone rookies," Smith said. "Those guys stepped right in, including Russell [Wilson] and were leaders most of all from day one. And that's the one thing I took from it. No matter what age difference, where you come from or what pick you are when you're taken for that role as a quarterback in the NFL, you have to lead by example. That's the thing all those guys did.
"They set the bar very high. I want to be one of those guys that step in and do the same thing."
Toward that end, Smith stressed his leadership and versatility. He's not the mobile quarterback some people want to make him, but he thinks he could run some read-option if he was asked.
"I played in three different systems in college," Smith said. "I've also played in the read-option system. I had to adapt because coming out of high school, I had no say in that system. So I had to adapt to it. I think that's something I've always been capable of.
"I think I have the skill set that fits any offense. I can play within the pocket but I'm athletic enough to run that style of offense. . . .
"I have the ability to [run read-option]. I don't think that's my game. I don't think my game is predicated around that. If a coach wants me to, I'll definitely be all for it."
While the nature of people crafting lazy comparisons will have them making Smith something he isn't, he invoked Patriots quarterback Tom Brady when asked about his game.
"I've always watched Tom," he said. "He's always cool, calm and collected in the pocket, not the most athletic guy, but he makes subtle movements while keeping his eyes down the field and that's something I try to incorporate."
Of course, Smith has a long way to go before being compared to Brady, as getting past the Lucks and Griffins and Wilsons of the world will be hard enough.

Before Bubba Pittman's introductory press conference began on Tuesday afternoon, his oldest daughter got a kick out of a 1991 Rock Hill High School yearbook photo of her dad from his freshman year at the school.
Madeline Pittman laughed at Bubba Pittman's mug shot on the yellowing page, pointing out his punky haircut and saying, "daddy was skinny!"
Pittman may not be quite as thin or brash as his teenage years, but he still retains all the passion he had for Bearcat football back in 1991.
The 37-year-old, who graduated from Rock Hill in 1994, beat out inquiries and applications from more than 70 coaches and five other unnamed finalists to win the school's head football coaching job. It's a circular landing spot for a guy who grew up on Ferguson Drive, just a patch of woods removed from the school, and was named Mr. Bearcat as a senior quarterback in 1993-94.

"I've been a Bearcat all my life," he said. "And I have a personal desire to see this program succeed."
Rock Hill hired Pittman from Northwestern last year to become Joe Montgomery's offensive coordinator. There were rumblings and rumors that Pittman had been hired as a coach-in-waiting, but that's illegal in South Carolina. Even though Pittman was eventually hired after Montgomery retired in January, Rock Hill athletic director Bill Warren stressed that the search proceeded above the table.
"We opened it up. The only thing told to Bubba when he came over was 'you'll have the opportunity to apply to be head coach.' That's the only advantage he had, other than his interaction with the kids and the coaches," said Warren. "He's got support from both, and he did a great job in his interview."
The year under Montgomery certainly helped Pittman, who acknowledged that he missed out on helping coach Northwestern last season as it went undefeated and won the state title. His coaching fingerprints were all over the Trojan offense, but the chance to return to his alma mater was too good to forgo.
"It was a year of planning for me, to try and design what I felt the program should look like," he said. "When I did finally get that call it was a relief, because it was kind of like a vote of confidence, that they agreed with the way I think things should go."
Pittman's holistic understanding of being a Bearcat is what set him apart. Warren was impressed when he came to his interview with a full plan for the football program, one that included Air Raid offense, but also academics and community service.
"Bubba is a Bearcat; always been a Bearcat," said Warren. "He has great passion for the school and great football knowledge. A lot of times when you go away and learn under other coaches at other schools, then you learn valuable knowledge to bring back."
Pittman doesn't have to hit the ground running, because he already has been running, a luxury that a number of schools hiring new coaches around the state haven't had. The Rock Hill assistant coaching staff, all of which will be retained, helped in that aspect, as did Pittman's camaraderie with the returning Bearcat football players.
"Personally, for me, I felt that was an advantage," he said.
Warren and the rest of Rock Hill's search committee, which included administration, several parents from the community, and former Bearcat and NFL standout Chris Hope, agreed.
"We've seen him interact with kids, the way he cares about kids, the way he cares about Rock Hill High," said Warren.
Pittman teaches special education, a calling that undoubtedly has fostered compassion and patience, while forcing him to adapt to a number of different learning styles. He'll need those skills to pull together a group of players that haven't been very successful in the last few seasons. The two-time defending state champions are 15-31 since 2010.
"The biggest focus is getting these kids to try and buy into what it means to be a Bearcat," said Pittman. "We're trying to instill in them the importance of a team. It's not about individual accolades. It's about how they're going to be together that gets us to the next level."
A program that's been usurped at the top by its rivals South Pointe and Northwestern needs someone to believe in it, to kick the slumbering Bearcats awake. In Pittman, Rock Hill High School certainly has a coach that will kick and scrap, but more importantly, one that seems to believe. Among the smattering of questions tossed his direction during Tuesday's press conference, Pittman was asked what he was most looking forward to "that last Friday night in August," the 2014 season opener and his head coaching debut.
"August?" he replied. "I'm already thinking about the first Friday or Saturday in December."

County Starts Using Electric Buses
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
A city in California recently got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. The new buses are different than the old ones.
These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid buses. They run on diesel and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner.
One bus driver said that the air smells much cleaner when he drives the new buses. He smells diesel all day when he drives the old ones.
The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said that they use a lot less fuel. They also said that they are 90 percent cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet too.
The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries on top. When the engine starts-up it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over. The motor recharges the batteries.
Over time the city would like to replace all 50 of their buses with the new hybrid buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city has had help purchasing the buses with grant money.

Alaina Jacobson looked at Mizzou as her "dream" school.
She is finding, however, her dreams are coming true in Nashville, Tenn. instead.
Jacobson, a former all-state standout softball pitcher from Crocker High School, spent a long freshman season at the University of Missouri-Columbia before transferring to David Lipscomb University for this past school year.
And at Lipscomb, a small Christian university that is a NCAA Division I program, Jacobson has found both happiness and success.
"This season has definitely been a great season," said Jacobson, who enjoyed an all-conference sophomore campaign for Lipscomb this past spring. "Coming out of Missouri, you're kind of broken down when you leave your dream school. But Lipscomb was the place for me to be. I am so happy I went there."
Jacobson committed to Mizzou during her senior season at Crocker. As a Crocker Lady Lion Jacobson was one of the most heavily recruited softball players in the area and finished as a two-time all-state pitcher.
It simply didn't work out at Mizzou, however.
"The coach that recruited me left two weeks before I got there," Jacobson said. "The new coach who came in had a little different philosophy. (The new M.U. softball coaching staff) has more of a power pitching (philosophy). I'm more of a movement pitcher. I had a difficult time there."
In 22 appearances as a freshman with the Lady Tigers Jacobson finished with a 3-5 record, posting a 5.44 ERA in 56.2 innings pitched, allowing 59 runs and 87 hits while fanning 27.
She was not happy.
About the same time Kristin Peck was wondering about one of her ex-recruits.
Peck was a graduate assistant coach at Lipscomb who recruited Jacobson out of high school. She later became the Lipscomb Lady Bisons' softball head coach.
"It was really a God thing," Jacobson said. "One day (Peck) said she thought, 'I wonder if Alaina is happy at Missouri?' She couldn't contact me, so she contacted my summer coach (Jacobson had played for the St. Louis Saints in the summer). I couldn't talk to her at all until I got my release from Missouri."
Once that happened, Peck quickly worked on bringing Jacobson south.
Lipscomb has been a NCAA Division I program for 10 years and competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
In her first season as a Lady Bison Jacobson was named to the all-conference second-team, as she posted a 11-6 record with three saves and established a new school record with five shutouts.
Lipscomb won the Atlantic Sun Conference title with a 16-6 league mark. The team was 29-26 overall – the Lady Bisons' first winning season since becoming a Division I program in 1999.
Peck was named Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year.
"The school itself is a lot smaller than Missouri – about 2,400 students," said Jacobson, who is majoring in biology at Lipscomb. "And it was a good fit education-wise.
"The biggest adjustment was getting my confidence back; realizing you're a good pitcher again. And coming out of high school the girls are not training as hard. In college you train year-round."
Jacobson said the key was that her new coaches' philosophy on pitching was consistent with the style she uses, which is changing speeds and moving the ball around.
"I was able to keep my basic pitching philosophy," Jacobson said. "Our pitching coach is really good in picking out things I was doing wrong."
Lipscomb will lose several seniors from its strong 2008 squad. And Jacobson will be asked to serve in more of a leadership role.
"We lost a few seniors but we have some jucos coming in and some freshmen who, according to the coaches, are also looking really good," Jacobson said. "I hope to be a really good leader and help try to bring the team together."
Jacobson's initial dream may not have worked out. But she has kept the dream alive with a second chance in Tennessee.
"I really love Nashville," she said. "And I love my team. It's great when you leave your dream school and still get everything that you asked for."

I like to be a good sport but I really want to see Rivers get torn apart.
Being a good sport is for the regular season. This is the playoff's, only one thing matters now, and that's winning. May our defense be light on their feet and hit like mack trucks. Also, let's hope ole' Arians doesn't call a 7 step drop pass everytime he has Ben throw the ball or this is gonna be a lonnnnnnnng game.

RIDICULOUSLY good looking...
I forgot, How many TD's did the Steelers get last game? Oh wait, none! Chargers win a close game, Defense is much better now, and Rivers doesn't have the flu like in November!
Last edited by Sportskid54; 01-10-2009 at 07:20 PM. Reason: Messed up the date.
Hopefully the Steelers aren't licking their chops thinking they will be playing the Ravens at home next week... they need to stay focus and worry about the Chargers first.
I'll bet all of my... well 18k SA money (>.<) that Sportskid54 won't be back here when Chargers loose tomorrow
However much you think you know about football, rest assured that Skip Bayless knows more!

amor needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 67 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
This blog is going to be an outlet for five friends that "get around". In the mix is a flight attendant, a sales rep, a model, an event planner and a regular vacationer. Each of them brings a different outlook to traveling around the US and the world. It will be a mix of stories, reviews, must-sees, products, etc.
The girls in the group do a LOT of traveling, mostly individually, but also together a few times per year. If we had to give a cliche' version of what the blog will be, it will be Sex and the City meets travel blogging.
Twenty-something to thirty-something females that travel and enjoy a little personality. This will not be your average travel blog: One of the first posts speak of great hukka bars in Thailand.
The contest time is winding down and we haven't had a submission that really "wowed" us yet. We want to be sure that it isn't because we didn't provide enough direction, so here are some samples of the style that we feel fits our theme:
*Please do not infringe on the copyright of these items, they are just to give an idea of the style that we feel fits.
Actually using elements that indicate girls and/or travel elements are a plus. Sexy fonts are a plus and the whole mark needs to feel balanced. Thank you!
We want to help give a little more direction, at least to the type of audience we will be speaking to.
A couple of sites that have a similar audience are:
The submissions so far have been a little more Disney than Sex and the City. Our audience will be fun and lively and into pop culture.
One "don't" that we are adding is rainbow colors throughout the text :)
Thank you!
You are free to be creative, as we do not have a specific vision for the mark. However, please highly consider the target market. Think sexy, fun and appealing to twenty-something and thirty-something females.
For all the fellas, don't just "pink it and shrink it". We really want a mark that appeals to us as a group. If it appeals to us, we figure that it will appear to others as well ;-)

Sheriff's office uses education as tool to fight synthetic drug issues
Submitted: 11/03/2013
- More than 50 people met Saturday morning for a Langlade County Sheriff's Office drug presentation in Antigo.The focus was on synthetic drugs, specifically bath salts, and their impact in the community. Langlade County Sheriff's Office Drug Investigator Dan Bauknecht emphasized the physical impact of using bath salts. He says the mood swing caused by synthetic drug can shift from friendly to violent in an instant. It's something that puts users, family members and police in danger.Police say that's because the bath salts essentially overload your nervous system. Mood swings can last for hours.Bauknecht sees that more often when they arrest users."The real danger to these synthetic drugs is obviously they are not regulated because they're illegal street drugs," Bauknecht said. "The chemical compound is often times very different from bag to bag, even though its promoted to be the same brand."Bauknecht started working at the Langlade County Jail in 1999. He says bath salts first started popping up in the area in 2009."I think it really got entrenched in our community and got entrenched in the outlying communities around us." Bauknecht said. "Then when it did become banned and people were too far gone on it so to speak to just stop because it was an illegal substance, so it became an underground substance."The Sheriff's office hopes education sessions like the one they held in Antigo Saturday can help.The goal was to let people know what is out on their streets. Bauknecht says the battle is more than just arresting users."This is more than just cops and robbers with bath salts because of the challenges with it and because of the catastrophic damage that it causes the person and our community, which is a trickle down," Bauknecht said.According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, poison centers recorded 2,677 calls for exposure to bath salts.

In contrast to the space levels, though, the relative scarcity of Voltron levels is a blessing in disguise. They start out alright, with the player and his lion of choice taking on a massive Robeast while support rains down from on high. Interestingly, this is probably where you'll experience most of your deaths, since Robeasts do a tremendous amount of damage and survivor mode doesn't exist during these boss battles. Once the boss' health is depleted, however, you form Voltron, watching the entire transformation sequence each time, pressing quick-time inputs for points throughout. These inputs have no impact on the transformation's success.
So, after you've transformed, you get to go full-on robot all over some Robeast's face, right? Not as such, no. Voltron is a game designed with multiplayer in mind and, since there can only be one Voltron, the battles instead play like a light RPG, with players selecting the robot's attack from four choices on a timer, then performing a short timing test to decide whether the attack hits. Defense is relegated to pressing the correct button when the enemy Robeast prepares to attack. It has exactly no depth and provides only passing visual entertainment. Once you have defeated your foe, you mash a button to form Voltron's sword and he gets to slash through the enemy, culminating in an anemic explosion.
And that's Voltron. Yes, there's multiplayer, but I wasn't able to try it because no one was online playing this game. Either that or the matchmaking is entirely broken. Either way, not good. Further, chosing "custom game" from the online menu works more like quick match, while what they call "quick match" actually tends to create a lobby, in which you wait for minutes with no sign of companionship on the horizon. I can confirm, however, that multiplayer in the Voltron segments boils down to taking turns picking attacks and adds additional little tasks for the other players to do to make each attack successful. This increases the difficulty of landing these attacks, and I imagine that, with a full party of players, it's almost impossible to actually pull off a successful attack.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe is a poorly designed cash-in on a franchise that hasn't been relevant in years. It's particularly telling when the announcer is your absolute best feature, stating "Voltron will return after these messages" when you pause, then "And now back to Voltron" when you resume play. That's right: the best part of the game only appears when you stop playing. I rest my case.

The Montandon Marsh is one of the few remaining diverse riparian wetlands ecosystems in central Pennsylvania, along the west branch of the Susquehanna River. Its Environmental significance has been hailed by local and regional conservancy groups because of its role as a refuge for migratory waterfowl, as a permanent home for many wetlands birds, and as home to the rare spade-foot toad. Marsh plant communities are diverse; containing sundew, sphagnum, and cranberry characteristic of Pocono bogs, while it is also home to bullrush and sedge communities normally found on the Atlantic coastal plain.
Studies at the Montandon Marsh by Bucknell University faculty and students began in March, 1991 and may continue for several more years, even after an operation begins to mine the area of its rich alluvial sand and gravel deposits. Over the years, a network of monitoring wells has been installed through student independent research projects and as classroom laboratory projects for classes in hydrogeology, geomorphology, and environmental hazards. In cooperation with the gravel company and other local landowners, Bucknell University uses this site as a training site for students in geology and environmental sciences.
Bucknell students Andrea Larsen and Lara Valigorsky are "Waltzing in Waders" as they hand-auger for a hallow monitoring well in the Montandon Wetlands.

Even though Michael Shermer has... confused me... recently, theres no questioning that 'Why People Believe Weird Things' is a skeptical thinking classic. I especially enjoyed the chapter on 'Why Smart People Believe Weird Things'-- How can someone be a physicist during the day, and a ghost hunter at night? How can someone be a high school social studies teacher, but keep a blog on 'THE LOST SECRETS OF ATLANTIS!' during their free time?
Hell, Im even superstitious sometimes-- I think if I dont do the same activities every morning in the same order, Arnie will get disgruntled and get into the trash/bookshelf/futon while Im at work.
But an equally interesting question went unanswered in 'Why People Believe'.
Why do weird people believe smart things?
Im not joking when I look at Creationists like a confused puppy and say "How do you function in the real world?" Do they just randomly accept normal things?
Humans and other primates descended from a common ancestor: NO.I wondered that very question while watching Robert Kennedy Jrs presentation on campus last week. You all might remember RFK from Respectful Insolence. RFK wrote a good ol fashioned slander piece about the non-existent VACCINES-->AUTISMOMG a couple years ago. Not just the normal stupid anti-vaxer claims-- slanderous crap against scientists and the CDC.
The earth is round: NO... I mean YES.
Its physically possible to boil water to make tea: LET ME CHECK MY BIBLE.
So I was interested when I heard RFK was coming to campus (a medical research campus) to speak about global warming. Despite the fact RFK is on the 'science' side of climate change, his previous behaviors have clearly established that he is not pro-science. Hell, he is anti-science. So why is he pro-science in the case of global warming? I mean, global warming is in fashion this political season (YAY! As long as it isnt just for show), but is he that shallow?
I dont think RFK is *that* shallow, but he is definitely anti-science.
His presentation on global warming, to scientists, included no science. Lotsa folksy stuff, like how hes just so miffed that he cant eat the fish he catches with his boys cause the lake mercury levels are too high. Cause Jebus Christ told em that he is supposeta take care of the earth (I was treated to a >20 minute sermon, you know how much I enjoyed that). Cuase its good economics to go green!
Well, I agree with two of those three things, but, um, no science.
Except when he urged the audience, several times, to have their hair tested for heavy metals. If he was a woman, he said, his mercury levels are so high he would be at risk for having a baby with autism.
Isnt that special.
Shorter Robert Kennedy Jr--
Only do the right thing when it directly benefits you.I guess thats how weird people can occasionally believe smart things?
Only do the right thing because an invisible sky pixie will hurt you if you dont.
Only do the right thing because its cost effective.

This week's theme is Sharks!!! Woo Hoo!
Math: Shark maze, Shark On-line Puzzles, we'll also be working out of his workbook this week.
Reading: Shark Info Page, Shark Tiny Book, The Smiling Shark Poem
Writing/Comprehension: "Sh" writing page, "Sh" book page 1 , and 2
Learning to read these words this week: Shark, fish, we, mad, sad, bad
Science/Sensory: Life Cycle of a Shark,
Art: Shark craft – teeth gluing project. Any more ideas? I looked like crazy for ideas and can't seem to come up with any.
Bible Verse: Genesis 1:21 – So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Field Trip: Local Children's Museum – any more ideas? We do have an underwater aquarium fairly close by, but it's really expensive and so, off the list of possibilities! 🙂
So – the main idea here is a pretty easy week since it must be easier to do a straight up underwater theme – ugh! This is probably best since all we'll BOTH want to do this week is play outside!!!
Please let me know what you're planning for this week. Any more (PLEASE!) ideas for Shark Week?

Matthew Aho, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin America Advisor
The U.S. Agency for International Development created and operated "ZunZuneo," a communications network similar to Twitter that had the aim of destabilizing the Cuban government, the Associated Press reported on April 3. USAID responded by saying the purpose of the program was "to create a platform for Cubans to speak freely among themselves, period," while the White House denied that it was a covert program. How much of an impact will the revelations have on U.S.-Cuban relations? What does the controversy mean for bilateral issues such as the imprisonment in Cuba of former U.S. government contractor Alan Gross? Are social media programs such as these a good use of USAID funding and the U.S. government's resources?
The U.S. Agency for International Development's 'cockamamie' (to borrow Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy's descriptor) scheme to foment unrest through semi-covert bootleg Twitter site ZunZuneo is only the latest embarrassment stemming from Congress' $15–30 million annual allocation for democracy promotion in Cuba.
The program's failure lies not in the Obama administration's mission to increase the flow of information to the Cuban people, but rather in its methods and cost: at its zenith, the site reportedly attracted some 40,000 users, most of whom only ever received sports scores and entertainment updates. By the time it was terminated in 2012, the cost to American taxpayers was more than $2 million—or $50 per user—and the most significant deliverable was another public relations coup for the Castro government.
In terms of U.S.-Cuba relations, ZunZuneo's outing will only sour ongoing bilateral talks. It will also confirm the paranoid suspicions of Cuban government hardliners, thereby emboldening them to oppose unilateral steps toward rapprochement, such as the release on humanitarian grounds of Alan Gross. Although most moderates have always understood that USAID-led democracy promotion programs in Cuba will never bear fruit, they are a thorn in the side of
bilateral relations and a reliable tool for hardliners in both Washington and Havana who prefer the status quo.
To break through this logjam, the White House should take two steps: 1) order the State Department to review the programs with an eye toward supporting the Cuban people and; 2) open the information floodgates by authorizing companies like Google, Twitter, Facebook and others to do transparently what USAID never could: create a platform for Cubans to speak freely among themselves, period.
