Clarksville - $238 in sales
Russellville - $96 in sales

Community Relations Report:
Community Relations Committee
The Community Relations Committee assisted the Events Committee with the 2009 ArkGeo Annual Meeting by soliciting donations for that event.
The Community Relations Committee also makes the following recommendation to the board:
That ArkGeo participate in a month long campaign to conduct trash clean up, trail maintenance, and other volunteer projects at Arkansas State Parks and with the U.S. Forest Service. That a press release be sent to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to announce the campaign. That the Community Relations Committee and Events Committee coordinate the campaign and establish a series of CITO events in conjunction with the projects to be held in different geographical locations and days and dates though out the state during the selected month.
Report prepared by David Spicer
Events Committee Report:
ArkGeo Annual Meeting Notes:
Overall feedback from the membership has been very positive. Everyone enjoyed the Hot Dog Roast and we had quite a turnout for it again this year. This is definitely something we want to do each year as it continues to grow. We had a really great turnout for the CITO event on Sunday although the park was already really clean. The silent auction was a success and with additional items next year it will do even better. This should be a good fund raising activity for us in the future. Everyone really liked the path tags. It would be nice to be able to do it again next year, however we will need to be sure to start the process earlier to avoid having to rush at the last minute. The only negative comments that have been made is that a few folks felt they did not have enough notice on the location and date. We had the event listed on GC.com 3 months in advance which is as far out as allowed. The Committee is working on finalizing plans for next years event to be held at Petit Jean State Park. Should know for sure by next week. This will allow us to get the location and date posted to the forums as soon as possible and the committee can post updates as the plans progress. One other thing we did not do is get a group photo. This is something that needs to be done at all future events.
Celebrate Summer Event:
This is an event that we got into a little late in the process. This years event is not one that we are really going to be a part of due to the distance away and not having enough time to participate in the planning process. There are two main caching groups that have done most of the work and most of the other organizations have made donations. We have not been asked to officially make a donation yet. It would benefit ArkGeo to participate in these events in the future as they are moving the event to different locations around the South each year and eventually could be held right here in Arkansas. We will need to decided on a volunteer liaison to help with next years event.
CITO or Trail Maintenance:
This is a subject we have been discussing for quite some time. The community relations committee and events committee are discussing the best way to implement a statewide CITO program and the possibility of adopting a section of the Ozark Highlands Trail or some other trails.
1st Ever Arkansas Challenge Event:
Discussions have begun about the possibility of ArkGeo hosting a challenge event. The idea for now is to have it at Mt Nebo State Park in early November. The layout of the trails at Mt Nebo will allow challenging terrain with multiple access points so strategy will play a big part in how many caches each team will find in the allotted time period. The challenge will consist of approximately 30 caches hidden along the trails in the park. There will be a three hour time limit and each cache will have a point value with points deducted for teams finishing over the time limit. More details to come as time goes on. This will be a great event to draw in cachers from other states. A large group from Texas has already shown interest in attending. This will be an excellent way to show everyone why geocaching in Arkansas is better.
Boy Scout Programs and other Geocaching presentations:
Over the past year ArkGeo has participated in several presentations on a very limited basis. We need to put together a plan to be able to participate in more of these educational opportunities. Help will be needed from the membership to identify possible events for geocaching demonstrations. These presentations will go a long way in achieving our commitment to improving geocaching in Arkansas through education.
Website Management Continuity Special Committee:
Mike and Wayne is looking into a new website and manager.
Status of ArkGeo Goals
woodwalker had a meet and greet in Helena.
Team Pink is having a meet and greet in Jonesboro, and also Batesville
CacheMates is planning a meet and greet in Texarkana or Nashville.
Topkitty is planning a meet and greet in Jacksonville.
Paris1Time is planning a meet and greet in NWA.

And All Things Kardashian), boutique co-owner, host of a short-lived talk show (2013), and a reality star on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Eschewing college, Jenner instead married successful attorney Robert Kardashian in 1978 and had son Rob and three daughters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé before they divorced in 1989. She was devastated when her ex decided to represent his best friend O.J. Simpson when he was accused of killing her best friend Nicole. Kris remarried in 1991. She and Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner had two more daughters, Kendall and Kylie. In 2007, the show chronicling her family's daily life began airing and over the years has given rise to various spinoffs like Kourtney and Kim Take Miami and Khloé and Lamar. In 2013, the Jenners announced their separation, divorced the following year and in 2015 the Olympian admitted that he was transgender and would be transitioning to living full-time as a woman. She has been dating road manager Corey Gamble since late 2014.

A new documentary film, entitled 'Large dams in West Africa: Building the Dialogue' was recently released and made available on YouTube, in order to raise awareness and communicate the work of IUCN in facilitating dialogue on dam developments in West Africa.
The one hour documentary film is a medium of information for various audiences (policy makers, civil society, technical and financial partners) about the challenges and opportunities related to large dams in West Africa. These challenges were addressed through four sites in the region: Sélingué in Mali, Bagre in Burkina Faso, Diama in Senegal and Kandadji in Niger.
The film was produced under the project 'Regional Dialogue on major water infrastructure in West Africa', launched in 2008 by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). In deciding to support ECOWAS in its approach, IUCN's goal is to promote environmentally sustainable and socially equitable water resources for West Africa, by facilitating the extension of dialogue to non-state actors, civil society organizations and users.
"In Burkina Fase, only 1 out of 4 people has access to electricity. No access to electricity means missing the minimal conditions needed for access to hygiene and therefore health, education, and economic activities", said Adame Nambré, President of the National Commission on Dams of Burkina Faso. Currently there are 140 dams in West Africa, with at least 30 new dams planned.
The documentary film 'Large dams in West Africa: Building the Dialogue', will be used by IUCN and partners to disseminate recommendations of the regional consultation between stakeholders, and to promote good practices in designing, constructing and operating large water infrastructures.
The film is available in French and English, and can be watched on YouTube or the Water Channel.

Stephen Lynch needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
You will be designing a modern web 2.0 design similar to http://www.mediatemple.net. We are a premier web hosting company searching for a new design which will grab our clients attention and also be very easy to navigate.
Evolved Solutions
About Us: Evolved Solution is a web hosting company, we also provide domains, dedicated servers and templates. We work by three terms which may also be incorperated into the web design.
- Expand : We strive to expand our services, what we provide, and how we provide it. (FIRE)
- Adapt : As the web changes, companies must change. Evolved Solutions adapts to the changes of the world. (WATER)
- Change : We find ways to improve, what ever it takes to help our clients grow. (WIND)We want to design a easy flowing website similar to http://www.mediatemple.net Its a quick site to look at and you know they are hosting, and very easy to use.
We will be putting it into a Joomla! CMS this will be key when designing the site because certain elements wont work so you need to research the CMS. We want as many things as possible to be worked from the backend, so you only want things like a banner or logo to be things that are static.
- You should incorporate Expand, Adapt, Change
- If a logo can be created, and is creative. I will add a bonus on top of the overall design charge.
- Colors should ideally like this design: http://fc51.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2…Tsolix.jpg (Minus the red they use, if you do use a red use a real red they seem to have a purple/red)
- Style Web 2.0 view http://www.mediatemple.net
Example Sites:
- http://fc51.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2…Tsolix.jpg
- http://fc48.deviantart.com/fs36/i/2…banham.jpg
- http://sentuken.deviantart.com/art/…3-63980183
We need at least 2 blocks for showing off our packages, unless the design is like mediatemple.net and just provides a quick link from an image. That may even be better.
We need a place for domain lookup, you should look at this design for an example:
The footer must be able to incorporate logos, and text links for SEO reasons.
It would be nice to show features like shown on our website, but if it has less things on the frontpage thats ok. (As you can see I really want you to create something like mediatemple.net and HD Host)
Must incorporate our partners: http://evnsolutions.com/images/partners.png
- I don't want anything that looks like it would be from template monster with a thousand different colors.
- I don't want it to be hard to change from the backend. Look up how Joomla! CMS works to figure this out. If you need an example everything in my design at http://www.evnsolutions.com works from the backend except the Domain Lookup block is HTML basted into a module (Which I would rather not do)
I don't want you to follow my notes too much, I notice some try to follow them and they are not creative.
- I don't want you to go off the path of making a site like http://www.mediatemple.net or http://dotsolix.deviantart.com/art/…-109011118
If you do a design which as some sort of large image on the frontpage, please show me what a page would look like for actual content.
Please look up Joomla! CMS to see how it works and what limitations you may be put on.
WHMCS is used for billing & support the internal design of WHMCS will stay the same just the header and footer will change view http://www.evnsolutions.com/support/ so if you design try to show the page of what that would look like if it was pasted in the center content area.
For the internal pages you need to show center top modules above the news, the side modules. This is to show the coder what to code, not to say that all of them would be used at once.

M29, a secure URL shortener
A year ago, I launched M29, a URL shortener with a twist. Apparently I forgot to announce it here. Whoops.
Normal URL shorteners are fairly simple. You submit a long URL. The service generates a short URL. The long and short URL are placed in a backend database. If you go to the short URL, it redirects to the long URL.
This means that the URL shortener service has a large database of URLs available to it. While 99% of the contents of this database may be mundane, it's still a large, centralized source of information. Very relevant to the recent NSA news, for example.
M29's twist is, except when serving the redirect, it does not know anything about the contents of the long URLs. This is accomplished by generating an AES-128 key, using it to encrypt the long URL, and then splitting the key in two. One half of the key is stored in the backend service, and the other half is encoded as part of the short URL itself. This means the only time the two parts of the key come together is when the short URL is requested for the redirect.
The net effect is, while I currently have a database of about 10,000 entries, I cannot read them. Source IP and URI logging are not done on the server, so the only way I can find a long URL is if I load a full short URL, which is not possible given just the backend database.
Anyway, this weekend I did some work on M29, including adding a bit.ly-style preview option (append a "+" to the short URL to get its info), among other small feature additions and fixes. It was then I realized, by going to that above short URL (the first URL generated and used in documentation) that the one-year anniversary of the service is today.

Florence Pyle is hired as secretary for Dayton Ranck, Treasurer of the University. In 1949, Miss. Pyle becomes Recorder replacing Mary Hunt who has had the position for nearly 40 years. When Mary Kunkle dies in 1958, Florence was asked to take over her responsibilities as Assistant Registrar. "Dr. Mark Ebersole assured me that if I took on that job when Mr. Faint retired, they would not bring on another man for that position. They would promote me." In 1967, Miss Pyle was named Registrar; becoming the first woman to hold that position. She would remain in that capacity until she retired in 1977.
WRC Interview, 8/96, University Archives
Mary Jane Stevenson is named Dean of Women at Bucknell University. She oversees the women's student government, housing, and social activities for co-eds on campus. Many alumnae remark on the valuable lessons and memorable dinners, and parties Miss Stevenson provided. She is involved beyond the campus as president of the local branch of the Association of American University Women from 1952-1955 and president of the Pennsylvania Association for Women Deans, Administrators, and Counselors from 1960-1962.
Recollection Jack Wheatcroft, Professor of English Emeritus, recalls he came to Bucknell as an undergraduate from Temple University after serving in World War II, to take a seminar on English and American literature with Mildred Martin. It was a two semester course for 10 to 12 upperclass students selected by Miss Martin, and it featured the chief works of 12 centuries of English prose, poetry, and drama. Students referred to the course of "The Seminar" and Jack was dismayed to learn upon his arrival that the course was full. Miss Martin made an exception and allowed him to enroll. Wheatcroft said, "Well, she really had the effect of directing my life in many ways. And everything hung on that one precarious moment. The course was, I think, everything and more that I wanted or imagined it would be. And I'm certainly not the only one that would give such a testimonial to that. She's had some very, very distinguished students who would subscribe to every word that I'm saying."

Dorothy Wilson is hired as a piano instructor. In 1952 she achieves status of Assistant Professor of Music and in 1958 becomes Associate Professor of Music. A prolific composer for piano and strings, Dorothy receives numerous awards from the Pennsylvania Federation of Music Clubs. Perhaps her greatest contribution to the music department is in 1966. With the help of two former national officers living in the area, Dorothy organizes an alumnae chapter of the music sorority, Mu Phi Epsilon. The alumnae chapter is instrumental in bringing award-winning performers to Bucknell in the years to follow. In 1979 the music sorority becomes coed at the national level, one year after Dorothy's retirement.
WRC Interview & Public Relations
Students continue to be required to attend chapel services as outlined in this description:
Bucknell University was founded by men and women whose labors were the expression of faith and religious conviction. They sought to base learning upon the enlightened and humane principles of the Christian religion. They set no bars on exclusion nor obstruction of sect or creed against the student who chose to enter this college. They believed that a college could flourish and intelligence ripen only under the will of God. Adherence to these principles places upon Bucknell University the obligation and the concern that the knowledge and skills acquired in the process of education shall be used for the commonweal and for the enhancement of human values for all people. To this end the University directs a varied program of religious activities, both curricular and extra-curricular.
In addition to the Department of Religion, the University maintains or fosters several major religious activities. Chapel is held at 11:00 A. M. in the Beaver Memorial Methodist Church each Wednesday that the University is in session. Freshman, sophomores, and juniors are required to attend half of the total number of chapel services held. Emphasis is laid upon worship, inspirational addresses, and special programs of music. The University Chapel is under the direction of the president and the Committee on Religious Program.
Bucknell University Catalogue 1947-48
Early in the University's history, chapel services for students were held in Bucknell Hall. When the student body grew, chapel service was moved first to the Baptist and then to the Methodist church downtown. Eventually, because of their numbers, the students attended chapel in the gym until Rooke Chapel was completed in 1964.

Bucknell University Archives 1949
Professor of English Emeritus Jack Wheatcroft remembers a different atmosphere for women when he first began teaching here in the late forties and fifties.
Women were under severe Victorian restrictions when I first came here. Freshmen women had to be back in their rooms at 7 o'clock in the evening. Upperclass women had to be back in by 11 o'clock. Women were given so many late minutes, and if they had exceeded the number of late minutes, they had restrictions placed on them. I can remember watching a comic scene. Women were permitted to go to the library to study until the library closed. It closed at 10 o'clock in those days. But then, a woman had to walk directly to the dormitory, and she had to keep moving. A young man would be walking with her, and she'd be walking at the rate of, maybe, a mile every two hours taking the tiniest steps she possibly could. And this, of course, this is technical morality rather than any kind of genuine ethical system. But as long as she kept shuffling those feet and walked on a straight line to her dormitory, she was within the rules. . .On the other hand, men had no restrictions on them whatever. That seemed to be discriminatory in the worst kind of way.
WRC Interview 4/96
Not everyone had a positive outlook on the Women's Student Government. C. Willard Smith remembered one such man:
"What should an instructor have done when in the so-called apathetic 50's a class discussion of Antony and Cleopatra turned into an emotional flurry? Two very proper ladies, undoubtedly members of the W.S.G.A. (Women's Student Government Assn.), virtuously condemned the heroine for her deviant (that was the word then current) behavior. Their adversary, a dashing young man . . . vigorously announced his defense of Cleo and her infinite variety: 'At least she is not dull like the women on this campus; she is a free spirit, something none of you with all your W.S.G.A. regulations, dormitory rules, and maidenly conduct could ever be. What we need around here are more Cleos!'"
Bucknell Essays in Recollection, 1977
Althea Gibson becomes the first African-American tennis player to enter the national grass court championship tournament at Forest Hills, Long Island. She competes the following year at Wimbledon as the first black player ever invited. In 1957, she wins the women singles and double title at Wimbledon and is welcomed in New York City with a ticker tape reception.
Her Heritage
Khin Khin "Irene" Myint became the first post-World War II Burmese student to do graduate work at Bucknell. She came to the United States on a Fulbright Scholarship, and received the Bucknell Scholarship for her first year in America. In the first week of February 1950, the Burmese student left Rangoon on her first air flight, a trans-Atlantic flight nevertheless. She was assigned to a room on the 4th floor of Hunt Hall. Receiving a warm welcome from girls there, Khin Khin quickly adjusted to college life. A major differene was that at Rangoon University, they had a fenced-in women's dormitory, whose gates closed at 6 o'clock. Hunt Hall had evening hours, but no locked gate.
Although Khin Khin came to study history at Bucknell, she had already witnessed history in the making in her native land. She witnessed the transfor of power from British Government to the Burmese AFPFL Party on January 4th. With her family, she watched the British Union Jack come down after more than 100 years. It was replaced lby tlhe new Burmese flag at a large park near her home. Another event which almost tore the young nation apart was the Karen Insurrection of 1949 against the new Burmese government. Rangoon University was closed down just as Khin Khin was preparing for her final exams related to her History Honors Degree. Many Burmese students had to study under very uncertain and dangerous conditions, even after World War II had ended.
Keynote Address, 1998
The Bucknell Engineer magazine is established. The first issue includes the quip, "The zipper is the undoing of the modern girl." Most of the ads contained are targeted to male engineers, and the students producing the magazine seem "free to write, draw, derive and compose anything they wanted about the opposite sex, and get away with it for the most part.'

Skip Bins - Great Garbage Disposal Options
Skips are trailer bins that are issued by public garbage disposal committees as well as private garbage disposal companies and agencies. It works quite similarly to the huge garbage trailer bins that are placed on the neighborhood block while the trucks collect the weekly waste. However this is a service that means you can call for a mini skip hire and clean out all your junk in one shot. You know that periodic spring cleaning sessions you have, right? They're not always in spring, but come to you when everything is getting really cluttered up, every once in a while.Maybe it has come with the onset of a new job or at the end of an old one. Maybe you are shifting houses and need to get rid of the excess you have accumulated, since one habit most humans seem to have in common is hoarding. Of course, maybe none of these life changing events has happened and you're just having a good old in depth clearing out session. Either way, where to put all the stuff you are disposing of poses a quandary. You can't just shift it all out on your doorstep or your lawn and wait for the garbage collect truck to haul it away after three or four days or even later.
Most people struggle with the issue of waste removal, particularly when they have to do it frequently, especially in their gardens or workplaces. A lot of garbage gets generated when people move to a new house or office. In addition, renovating a home or office also results in large quantities of debris getting accumulated. Owners of large gardens also have to deal with a lot of rubbish after they have finished pruning trees or trimming hedges. It is very difficult for an individual to dispose of large quantities of garbage on his or her own because they rarely have the infrastructure and the equipment to do so. In addition, they may not be aware of municipal regulations that govern the disposal of large amounts of waste.Requirements for a skip bin can vary from time to time, and the supplier needs to be able to offer a bin of the right size so that the customer does not have to pay high skip hire prices. Additionally, the bins need to be available at the time and place required by the client. A reasonable amount of searching will lead a customer to a cheap skip hire company that offers prompt and reliable service.

Some of it could be rubbish, old appliances, old furniture or even garden waste. If you leave it out, just like that, raccoons, rats, bandicoots and other marauding little creatures could infest your external property and become a regular problem. Your neighbors will almost definitely have an issue with that kind of mess, at the very least from an aesthetic perspective. Hygiene, contamination, creating a breeding ground for disease, bacteria and fungus… are all factors that play across one's mind when we think of irresponsible waste disposal. So it is best to plan out the 'spring' cleaning beforehand. The kind of cleaning materials and the quantity you require, the time you will have to invest in getting the job done and lastly and most importantly, how you will sort out the trash and where it has to go.There is a new really great way to get this done. You can call a mini skip company, and they deliver a mini skip bin to you, where you can chuck all your stuff. They come and take it away and put it in the tip. The job is done. Another alternative to mini skips are the latest feather in cap for many trash disposal agencies whether private or public. You can ask for a jumbo bag instead. Instead of a steel bin, you are provided with a bag. It is foldable, and you can open it up whenever you need it. You can fill it with up to 1.3 tons of trash. The reason they are preferred over mini skips is because they are not as unsightly, they do not come with a waste loading time frame and you are not charged for hire. The most appreciable thing is that eighty percent of all waste is recycled.

The Warwick West 9/10 softball all-stars are one win away from a second consecutive District 3 championship. West Side posted come-from-behind victories over Westerly and South Kingstown to earn a spot in the title game, which will be played on Sunday.
West Side's run started with a game against Westerly, and the Warwick club found itself behind the eight ball immediately. Westerly jumped out to a 4-0 lead, while West Side stranded five runners on base in the first three innings.
But from there, Kaylyn Ciesielski settled in on the mound, holding Westerly scoreless for the rest of the game and paving the way for a comeback. West Side chipped away and eventually took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the sixth. Westerly loaded the bases, but Ciesielski kept her composure and recorded a strikeout to slam the door.
"This was an amazing learning experience for our girls," manager Frank Brown said. "The last speech I gave them in practice was to never, ever give up. Whether we are winning or losing we play until the last out is made. These girls saw their fellow league members overcome a 5-0 deficit the previous night, so they witnessed how it can happen."
West Side then punched their ticket to the championship game with another comeback win, this one over South Kingstown. The team once again fell behind early 4-1.
Lexi Brown struck out 12 to keep West Side within striking distance, and West Side again staged a comeback. Marilyn McKay came up with a double to left field to get a rally going, followed by a single by Dyonna Rodas. Rodas eventually scored on a wild pitch to secure the comeback win.
"Again these girls know how to battle until the last out is made," Brown said. "With Lexi mowing down 9 of the last 10 batters I was confident we could pull it out."

Juha Rouvinen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 19 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Telvis.fi kinolinko
Telvis.fi is a Finnish TV-guide that provides information from over 130 TV-channels. It provides also reviews from 10.000 movies (specially movies shown in the TV but also premiers and DVD). Telvis has also information about major Finnish Net-TV's.
Telvis.fi kinolinko is a site that provides an inspirational user experience to all movie-fans in the Finnish market.
To the movie buff we can offer a smoother user experience to browse through movie data (i.e. compared to imdb.com's conventional information architecture) and to your average dvd-rental customer we can offer a more inspirational way of finding new movies from your favorite actor/director.
We want to create a user experience that enables a seamless transformation from i.e. the movie review page to click to the leading actor and see in what other films he/she has been. From there the user continues to another movie, finds more actors and continues to see what other movies they've been in.
Based on the database of movies, actors and directors our goal is to create a Google Swirl kind of experience to discover movies and people (see the attached wireframe as a rough example).
The designer of the chosen mockup must provide page-design for:
- Final front-page design
- movie/actor/director module/page
- Generic information page design for other pages, such as advertisers, contact us and others.
Please see the attached wireframe as a rough example for the layout and elements. You are free to challenge the composition.
The database provides the following information:
1) movie review
2) actors
3) director
We can add user generated content such as ratings (numerical/stars/thumbs up), comments and other social elements. This needs to be visualized as an option.
**We currently have a restriction regarding photos of actors and directors but each movie has an image so we need a placeholder-image for people images.
Now, we're looking forward on YOU exceeding our expectations with mad talent and exceptional skills!

Jon T needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
I'm currently undergoing a rebranding process and looking for a logo that will complement my business name.
Binary Fortress Software
Binary Fortress Software is a software company that I created and run independently. I do mostly free applications, and have a strong focus on customer satisfaction. I try to maintain a friendly, inviting atmosphere in everything I do. I am looking for a logo for my website and company apparel. Have a look at the website for a better idea of the software I create.
I'm not a graphic designer, so you have a lot of liberty here. A play on the words binary or fortress might be good. Something "light" and friendly would be best. I would like the logo provided in Adobe Photoshop (PSD) format.
I don't want anything too "heavy" or serious. Nothing too corporate here, I'm not a huge corporation. I don't want to scare anyone away.

Regionalism: Reacting to the Modern
|• Introduction
|• New Mexico
|• Southern Agrarians
|• Introduction
|• New Mexico
|• Southern Agrarians
Southern Agrarians
A particularly passionate circle of regionalists formed in the South in the 1920s. The group of "Southern Agrarians" had its origins among students and faculty at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and included Robert Penn Warren, John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, and Donald Davidson. Important poets and critics, they interacted with and embraced more cosmopolitan artists like T. S. Eliot, whose bleak depictions of modern existence reflected their own perspectives. They believed it was necessary to challenge the ideology of "progress" that accompanied the rise of urban centers and factory labor in the early century, and sought an alternative by rejuvenating plain, traditional agrarian experience.
I'll Take My Stand
This group of academics, often called "The Fugitives" after their little magazine of the same name, wished to regain and maintain contact with distinctive southern traditions as the forces of nationwide industrialization and mass culture threatened to sweep them away. They sought to recover the simplicity of an agrarian economy, not the power structures of slavery. But many found that their alternate vision, as with most utopias, was an idealized one.
In the late Twenties, the Agrarians, who adopted the group name of "Twelve Southerners," worked together to write their manifesto, which was published in 1930 as I'll Take My Stand. It served as both a political and cultural manifesto for the Agrarians. In it, they condemned the industrialization and capitalism that many saw as the struggling South's salvation and defended many southern traditions and ways of life.
Genteel Revolutionaries
Agrarian Andrew Lytle made an especially vivid call-to-arms for the preservation of regional culture in his contribution to I'll Take My Stand when he called for southerners to "Throw out the radio and take down the fiddle from the wall."
This desire to recover a pure local aesthetic in the face of mass culture was connected to the earlier Fugitive effort to produce important poetic innovations. In search of a concrete, formal language to combat hollow modern experience, the Fugitive poets wrote poems and poetry criticism that was highly influential upon other modern poets. Seeking a new role for tradition, both poetic and cultural, in the modern world, the southern regionalists made an important mark on modern American identity.

In my Maya 8 review, I mentioned that one of the new features in this release is the capability to create Geometry Caches for your animated models. If you are working within Maya this is useful if you want the animation to playback faster. What the Geometry Cache does is bake all the deformers and animation onto a cache. The animation is then read from the hard disk istead of being calculated for each frame.
There are different things you can do with the cached animation. For example, if at some point the deformations were not as you expected, you can "replace" those keys, fixing those deformations. You can also re-time the animation, or even import other cache files into your project. I won't go into details on these because you can know more about them in the Maya help. Instead, I will share an idea for those that work with different 3d apps, or even different versions of Maya.
Using the Geometry Cache in conjuction with the FBX exporter lets you share information between different 3d animation software packages. The FBX is a standard file format that can be imported into almost any existing big commercial 3D software (for example MotionBuilder, Softimage, or MAX). This format not only lets you export models, but also rigs, lights, and even skinning information. This means you can skin your character in Maya, animate them in MotionBuilder, and then bring them into MAX for rendering. People have actually been doing that for a long time, but what happens if you are using some kind of deformers that are specific for a certain application? Maybe you used muscle simulations or syflex cloth for your animated character in Maya, but those animations might not translate well into MAX, and the final result might not be as good as you had expected.
For this excercise, I animated one of my characters in Maya 8, then created a Geometry Cache for her which I exported to FBX, and then imported back into an empty scene. The model doesn't have any high-end deformers, but it still serves to demonstrate the technique. After the character was animated, I created a Geometry Cache to bake the animation onto cache files. After doing this you can even delete your rig since you won't be using it anymore. Note: Make sure you delete your rig only if you are certain you won't need to change anything in the animation.
With the model animated only with the Cache, you then create a "quick selection set" that includes the objects that have a Geometry Cache (the head and body in this case), and then you export everything as FBX. You have to make sure you have the latest version of the plug-in (by the time I wrote this article the latest version was 2006.08). Previous versions of the plug-in will not work. Below are shown the exporting options you have to set when you are exporting.
You can find explanations of these options in the FBX documentation. I want to draw your attention to "Bake complex animation," "Export Quick Select Set as Geometry Cache File(s)," and "Export to Version." The first option is used to bake the animation of deformers, for example, muscle systems. The second option is where you select the quick select set you created above, and the last option is the plug-in version (again, make sure you export to the latest version). When you click Export, Maya will take a little while and then your model and animation will be exported.
This creates an FBX file and a folder containing caches for your animated objects. If you plan to move this FBX file into another computer, make sure that you copy all those cache files as well, or else it won't work.
If I had MAX, I would have tried importing this animation into MAX, however that is not the case so I imported that back into an empty Maya scene. When you import an FBX file that includes animation you are allowed to select which "animation take" you want to import (as seen on the image below).
After the import you will see your animated model on your viewport. If you deleted the rig before exporting, you will see that the character is animated using the cache that was exported with the FBX, however don't delete the rig unless you are extremely sure you won't be needing it anymore.
With the Geometry Cache you can export the per-vertex animation of any model or character you have. This is useful not only when you work with older versions of Maya but also when you work with different apps and you need to exchange information between them. I hope you found this article useful. I'd like to thank the Autodesk Helpdesk for helping me while I was trying to learn how to work with this feature.

This week, we reflected on movies that gave us a sense of wonder, and Carlo Rambaldi was a big part of creating science fiction movie wonder. The practical special effects artist, who passed away yesterday at the age of 86, brought E.T., the original Alien xenomorph, the Close Encounters of the Third Kind Greys, and numerous other science fiction creatures to life on the screen.
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, Rambaldi found his way into the world of special effects when he was asked to create a dragon for the low-budget movie Sigfrido. His effects were so convincing that, after viewing the 1971 film A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, many audience members were convinced that the sequences of dogs being gruesomely experimented on involved real dogs. Rambaldi had to bring his fake dog props into a court in order to prove to a jury that the effects were not real, the first time a special effects crew needed to prove such a thing. Eventually, he attracted the notice of producer Dino De Laurentiis, who brought him to Hollywood to help create the giant gorilla for John Guillermin's remake of King Kong.
From there, he constructed and created a number of fantastical and alien creatures that continue to enflame the minds of science fiction fans: the head of the H.R. Giger-designed Alien xenomorph, the Greys from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, kindly E.T., Dagoth from Conan the Destroyer, and the Guild Navigator from David Lynch's Dune. He took home Academy Awards for Visual Effects for his work on both Alien and E.T.: The Extraterrestrial, and a Special Achievement Academy Award for his work on King Kong. In talking to the Washington Post, Steven Spielberg described Rambaldi as "E.T.'s Geppetto," and many colleagues saw him as an amazingly talented toymaker who loved playing with his grand toys. Popular culture has paid tribute to him; the Alias prophet Milo Rambaldi and Star Fox's Falco Lombardi are said to have been named in his honor.
While many Hollywood productions have moved away from practical effects in favor of computer-generated effects, Rambaldi's work continues to infuse us with the wonder (and sometimes terror) of seeing aliens and monsters on screen. Rambaldi will be missed, but his work won't be soon forgotten.

Drexel Hill is NOT a "small town." Shippensburg is a small town, Drexel Hill is a neighborhood in Upper Darby Township and part of the highly-populated and crowded Philadelphia area. Located 10 minutes west of the City in Eastern Delaware County, Drexel Hill is a well-respected and overwhelmingly Catholic area. "D-Hill" has more bars per capita than any other city, although it is easier to grab a bag of weed than a beer. There is ghetto Section 8 housing as well as luxurious mansions. Drexel Hill is a great place to live.
"A neighborhood of neighborhoods"
"My neighbor to the left has a rusted car on his back lawn and drinks Budweiser all day, while my neighbor to the right is a Jewish lawyer."

a small town in Pennsylvania. the majority of the people there have lived there all of their life. It is right by philadelphia and is therefore its inhabitants tend to use black slang. it is however i well respected town that is very pleasant to live in. highlights include the McDonalds, the K center, Wawa, and CVS
man oh man i wish i lived in drexel hill and not clifton heights.

Home of the "Palace". If you live in Drexel Hill then you've been to the palace. The palace is the woods were teenagers go and drink beer, smoke weed, and light fires that you can smell for miles. It never gets raided and everyone gets ass.

Well D-Hill is a chill ass town theres alot of drugies and skaters that live here and theres quite alot of bars we also have 2 post offices. Its easy as shit to get weed and beer if you're under 21. And the coolest kid in the hill just happens to be none other then Rizz.
You're crappy town of drexel hill is a joke.
My towns a joke? Nigga i rep D-Hill fo life so roll the F*** out b4 yo ass gets beat.

Drexel Hill is a shithole. Someone should put a toilet seat over it. It's the perfect place if you want to get fucked up and do nothing. There's the pool hall. A bowling alley. And that's about it. Do not come here.
In Drexel Hill, won't have a good night here unless you throw up all over yourself.

"Asking for feedback on multiple designs turns the critique process into a beauty pageant…"
Absolutely agree! I almost always start designing with the intention of presenting multiple design concepts, but find that one grabs me and won't let go until it's finished (or finished enough to show), by which point I believe in it so strongly it's the only one I could bear to present.
It's been about 8 years since I showed more than one design, and I've watched people do it since then, finding one of the following two rules to be true:
If you show three designs, the client will ask you to combine the worst elements of all three; or, if you present a good design, an average design and a poor design (which you believe is the one that will push them to one of the better designs, because who in their right mind would pick that one?), the client will pick the awful one.

Pentas (Pentas lanceolata)
Known as pentas or the Egyptian star, Pentas lanceolata are a favorite of home gardeners and landscapers in tropical and subtropical settings. These flowering plants, featuring inflorescences of white, red, lavender, or pink (as pictured here), bear 4-inch clusters of 0.5-inch flowers.

The leaves of pentas are oval and hairy and at 3 to 4 inches long, are usually deeply veined. Known also as star clusters, these members of the Rubiaceae family (the madders, includes the coffee tree and gardenias) derive their scientific genus and common names from the five-petaled flowers that they prolifically produce, and from their sword-like leaves. While the red and dark pink varieties attract hummingbirds, all of the varieties available commercially, and that have naturalized in places like Florida, attract butterflies. Unlike angiosperm flowers that feature bilateral symmetry, which is key to attracting bee pollinators, the pentas exhibit the radial symmetry attractive to butterfly and hummingbird pollinators.
Depending on the locale's microclimate, the variety, and whether the plant is shaded or in full sun, the pentas may grow upright to about 3 feet, or in a low and mounding habit. If winters are not too severe, as is true for most of the State of Florida, pentas are perennial. However, a hard freeze in an unprotected area will result in winterkill. A non-native, pentas apparently originated in Africa, but the varieties growing in the United States are the result of horticultural plantings and some natural reproduction.
These plants prefer well-drained soil, mulching, and summer irrigation. P. lanceolata is highly tolerant of heat, soil conditions, and pests, and requires little maintenance. Larger specimens are erect shrubs with woody stems while smaller plants are considered herbaceous. There are 2 to 12 setae with each seta featuring a persistent apical colleter. The leaves are opposite or whorled, depending on the variety, and there are between 3 and 5 per node. The flowers are bisexual and protandrous and the extremely reduced calyx tube favors pollinators with extendable tongues or proboscises, such as hummingbirds and butterflies. The fruit of the pentas is classified as a septicidal capsule that basipetally dehisces, while the seeds are minute, have 3 to 5 angles, and are stored in the fruit horizontally.

I got my haircut. For the first time in my life, I got something that works amazingly well with my natural waves (which always looked frizzy, fluffy and ugly in the past) and I am in LOVE.
This means, of course, that I am terrified of losing my new found waves. Since I've heard that henna will relax waves, I wanna know: how do I prevent this? Will Amla completely cancel out henna's relaxing properties? How much amla will be necesary for 100-150 grams henna? Will it affect the henna color (assuming I have no intention of using indigo and I want red hair) and if so, how? I plan to do about four henna sessions to get the color I want, if that makes a difference.
