Troll face college football logos, you guys.
If you don't venture into the younger social circles of the Internet (or you aren't a Redditor), here's a quick recap of who the troll face (aka Coolface, aka Problem?) is, and why he's so appropriate for college football.
Trollface is a black and white drawing of a face with a large mischievous grin that is meant to portray the expression someone makes while trolling. Posting a Trollface image into a forum thread is often used to claim that someone was being fooled or intentionally angered. The face commonly appears in rage comics indicating that the character is being mischievous in some way. (via Know Your Meme)
I'm not sure I can pick a favorite, but I've narrowed it down to the top shelf photoshop job on the Wisconsin Badger, or the LOL Guy stepping in for Chief Osceola.
Lest the troll gaze be turned onto me, the images in this gallery are credited in full to the fine folks at Reddit via @RedditCFB. The banner image is via Throw The Flag.

Houseboat owners, take notice. The city of Kenora is currently working with the Ontario Provincial Police and Ministry of Natural Resources to have houseboats parked on or in front of the city's water lot on the northeast side of Coney Island by Bush Island removed by Sept. 30.
The city is not formally enforcing removal at the moment, but will be providing notice to owners parking on or in front of the city's property that if they have not left by the end of September, they may be charged with trespassing.
"The primary reason for doing some follow up with the houseboats and serving notice, is from our perception, the houseboats are illegally parked there," explained Coun. Rory McMillan.
The city's operations department has been working to develop a marine related bylaw for city docks and other related facilities. This issue with houseboats near Coney Island was one that came up during these discussions, explained Karen Brown, Kenora's chief administrative officer.
"Because they've been there for so long and because we've received complaints specifically about them, we wanted to proceed with that," she said.
The Sept. 30 date was set to allow owners enough time to relocate and make other arrangements, she said. At this point the city will only be sending notice to the houseboat owners, but they are prepared to have the houseboats removed if owners do not comply.
"We're making them aware that there will be some repercussions if they do not remove the boats, we're looking at having the boats relocated, and there may be trespassing charges if appropriate," Brown said.Read more at http://www.kenoradailyminerandnews.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3252436

The next two aircraft-designated PN-8-had two Packard 475-hp water-cooled V-12 engines and a metal hull. The subsequent PN-9 (converted from one of the PN-8s) and two newly built PN-10 aircraft were similar. The engines had problems-the Navy always preferred simpler, air-cooled engines-and radial engines were thus used to produce the later PN-12.
The PN-9, however, was a good performer. On 1-2 May 1925, Navy Lieutenants Clarence H. Schildhauer and James R. Kyle, on a test flight over Philadelphia, broke the world endurance record for Class C seaplanes by remaining aloft for 28 hours, 35 minutes, 27 seconds.
The following 1 September, the PN-9 took off from San Francisco for Pearl Harbor. With Commander John Rodgers-Naval Aviator No. 2-in command and navigating, and a crew of four, the aircraft was heavily laden with 1,278 gallons of fuel in its tanks and another 50 gallons in five-gallon cans. The plane nevertheless ran out of fuel and came down several hundred miles short of its destination. Despite an extensive air search, the PN-9 was lost at sea for ten days. Rodgers and his crew, meanwhile, improvised. Relying on their training as sailors, they fashioned a sail out of the lower wing's fabric and set out for Kauai Island. After covering about 450 miles they were sighted on 10 September by the submarine R-4 (SS-81) about ten miles short of their goal. Still, the aircraft had flown 1,841 statue miles, a record for Class C seaplanes that stood for almost five years.
Four PN-11 variants were built, with two engines being evaluated in the aircraft. The hull lines of the PN-11s marked the first major departure from the F-5-L design, featuring a wider hull that eliminated the sponsons, a feature of the older hull. The first aircraft was also fitted with twin vertical tail surfaces. (The last three aircraft were later designated XP4N.)
The two follow-on PN-12s represented the definitive design. Like its predecessors in the PN-series, the PN-12 was a biplane designed specifically for the patrol/antisubmarine role. Single .30-caliber machine guns were fitted in the bow and amidships, and four 230-pound bombs could be carried under the lower wing. Equally powered by twin 525-hp engines, one PN-12 had twin Pratt and Whitney Hornet R-1850s, and the other Wright Cyclone R-1750s. They gave the aircraft a top speed of 114 mph and a range at cruising speed of just over 1,300 miles. It was flown by a crew of five (in open cockpits), and a relief crew could be carried for long patrols. On 3-5 May 1928, the Cyclone-powered PN-12 set another world seaplane record, covering a distance of 1,243 statue miles in 17 hours, 55 minutes.
The Naval Aircraft Factory was not capable of large-scale production, and the Navy decided to have the PN-12 manufactured by private aircraft companies. The Douglas Aircraft Company produced 25 PD-1 aircraft and the Martin Company built 30 PM-1 variants based on the NAF design. Subsequently, Martin built 25 PM-2 variants and the Keystone Aircraft Corporation built 18 similar PK-1 aircraft, the latter being twin-rudder versions. Thus, the PN-12 gave birth to 98 offspring. These aircraft served in the Fleet until 1938.
In 1927 the Hall Aluminum Aircraft Company developed another PN derivative, the XPH-1. 2 This was the first U.S. Navy flying boat to have all-metal stressed skin construction, which provided a considerable savings in weight. In the event, only ten PH-1s were built as the Navy moved to more advanced flying boat designs. But the Coast Guard procured seven improved Hall PH-2s and seven PH-3s for air-sea rescue missions. Some of these aircraft served into World War II.
Thus, the same basic flying boat design-from the F-5-L to the PH-3-spanned two world wars, a most notable achievement.

When I meet a Karate instructor, eventually we talk about our students. The first thing someone might ask a Karate instructor is, "How many students do you have?" There is almost a presumption that a "good" instructor will have more students than a "poor" instructor.
Ha! The opposite is often true!
Would you think that a man with 6 children is a better father than a man with 1 child? Parenting skills certainly are not measured by volume! Neither is Karate skill.
Over the years, I have meet more and more Karate instructors who have decided to teach smaller and smaller groups of students -- sometimes only one, two or three. These are very advanced instructors, most of whom have already produced students who have become instructors.
For such instructors, teaching is not a numbers game. They are trying to pass on the art. They are not trying to teach 100, 1000, or even 10,000 students who know a little, they are trying to teach one student (maybe two) who will know the entire system thoroughly.
Rather than ask an instructor how many students he has, I would rather ask if he is able to teach the way that he wants to. Is he accomplishing his goal? Does he have a special student who might carry on the tradition of his art?
With big schools, there must be a certain emphasis on rank, titles, position, organization, finances, politics, etc. In a very small school, the attention can be focused on training and developing the skill and character of the student. The early Karate instructors in Okinawa came from extremely small schools, if you could even call them that. Actually, students usually learned one-on-one from the instructor at his home, the family grave, or some other private location. There were no ranks or titles. Masters where known for what they could do, for their abilities. There usually was no tuition or fee. The relationship between Sensei and student was a personal one.
After Word War II, and particularly beginning in the 1960s, Karate transformed into a group thing, into a sport or activity taught to large groups of casual, money paying students. For some people, Karate became a business -- something it never was in old Okinawa and the Ryukyu Kingdom.
I am not impressed by sheer numbers of students -- I have met too many students who have trained for 10 or 20 years and have no clue about what they are doing. I am impressed by quality. I am very happy when I meet an instructor who can teach the way that he wants to, and has a dedicated student or two who is willing to undertake a lifetime of training.
And in my personal experience, some of the most skilled -- and happy -- Karate instructors have the fewest number of students. In fact, when I meet an instructor who emphasizes the large number of his students, it makes me question his skill -- certainly his choice of emphasis.
My respect and gratitude goes out to all instructors who have taught quietly and not sought attention, who have arranged their lives and schedules around teaching, who have paid the expenses so that students could afford to learn, who have maintained and passed on the true art. When we do this, we are getting back to the way Karate was originally taught, and perhaps we are becoming more like the Karate experts and Sensei of old.

I wish I had good news for you.
I was 10 and a half weeks pregnant, yesterday. I woke up a pregnant woman. The worst of the first-trimester misery was over. I've been lucky that way: this time, as with the last pregnancy, I was pretty much done with the constant nausea by eight weeks. Last time I freaked out and demanded an ultrasound, convinced that the absence of nausea heralded bad news. Then of course we saw Henry in there, waving his limbs at us, and we laughed at all our silly worrying, and carried on. This time I knew better. I was so calm throughout this pregnancy, nothing like I was the last time. When I was pregnant with Henry I began freaking out approximately ten minutes after the stick showed me both its lines. A week later I developed hives across my abdomen, giant egg-shaped welts. My doctor diagnosed me with some kind of virus, but I knew what had caused it: apocalyptic Google searches. This time, I knew: Thou Shalt Not Google. I didn't unearth my pregnancy books from the basement. I took my prenatals, and I laughed at my rapidly expanding midsection. The eight-week appointment was great, and we saw the fetus in there, heard its enthusiastic heartbeat, took a picture home that showed its little limb buds sticking out from the body. I planned the announcement post on my blog. Scott and I were beyond excited.
So as I said. Yesterday, I was pregnant. Scott went to work, Henry went to school, and I… well, I went to the bathroom, where I noticed some spotting. It was spotting so tiny that I could have ignored it. I could have not seen it at all. It was an eensy brown smudge. Nonetheless, I promptly began hyperventilating. This is what I do. Because if I worry hard enough I can ward off any bad news. If I'm neurotic enough, the universe will laugh, pat me on the head, and rain disaster down on some unsuspecting sane person. I called my doctor, who was as unconcerned as any normal human being would be, but suggested that I come in, just for peace of mind. I made an appointment for the afternoon, and after that, there was absolutely no spotting. Nothing at all. I laughed at myself, at what a big deal I had made over this tiny one-time smudgy nothing.
Everything was casual and light at the OB/GYN, until the ultrasound. The first thing I noticed was the absence of movement. Maybe it's the angle? I thought. She was moving all around my abdomen, so it was hard to say. Then she began pointing things out to me. "Here, you see, here is where I should see a heartbeat." I'm so sorry, she kept saying, I'm so sorry. She began measuring. I'm so sorry, she repeated, it looks like growth ended at about eight and a half weeks.
Everything that follows is a blur. I believe the first thought I had was, "And now I shall have a margarita." It was the best thing I could think to stop myself from losing all control, but I couldn't stop it, of course, and soon I was weeping so loudly that I imagined the office staff ushering all the pregnant women out of the building. Nothing to see here, ladies! No bad news around here! Who's for ice cream? The doctor left me alone so I could call Scott, and arrange for someone to pick up Henry, there was no way I could pick him up from school in my current state. The call to Scott was the worst call I ever had to make. I kept repeating what the doctor had said. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Because if I could feel bad for him, if I could concentrate on him and all he had lost, I didn't have to think about what was inside me at that moment.
Nothing much has happened since then. We're going in for some sort of super high-tech ultrasound this afternoon, which seems like the worst form of torture, but apparently is necessary before they can schedule the D&C. Meanwhile I'm having absolutely no spotting, just an occasional breathtaking pain that rips through me and reminds me of what's going on, like I need reminding. We're hoping that we get some answers from the pathology report, that we find out that there was some chromosomal defect and that we were spared unspeakable pain down the road. Anything so we can feel like this isn't the worst that could possibly have happened.

Just after the start of The Battle of Beige Fields...
As Chrome's shuttle closes in on Admiral Blackdog's command ship, his instruments warn him that the ship's defensive weapons have locked onto his craft.
Chrome:"We're being targeted. Brace for evasive maneuvers."
A hail of laser fire streaks past the Hr-36, but Chrome is a Deadly SpaceMan. With no regard for his passengers, he twists through volley after volley of flak and energy.
But as he gets closer to the command ship, even his DSM reflexes cannot keep up with the barrage.
Chrome: "We've been hit. All troops, eject."
"Shut down your suit systems and hide behind smaller chunks of wreckage."
Jump Commando: "Sir, we won't survive more than two minutes with the life support shut down--"
Chrome: "Then hold your breath. If you give us away, I'll kill you myself."
Britannian Crewman: "Admiral, the contact has been destroyed. We're continuing to engage debris. Some of it will reach the hull, but we anticipate no significant damage."
Admiral Blackdog: "Why would they attack us with a single shuttle? Unless... All Marine squads, report to the airlocks immediately! We may have boarders incoming!"
Blackdog: "Okay, make that 'definitely'. They're headed for the bridge. Crew, get ready-"
Chrome: "Sweep the bridge. No survivors!"
Blackdog: "You missed!"
Chrome: "Did I?"
Blackdog: "The window? Oh, bugger-"
Chrome quickly accesses the captain's console, and programs a new course.
The ship rotates until it faces towards the planet's surface, and begins to accelerate.
Meanwhile, President Bob takes his phone call...
Chrome: "Mission complete, Mr. President. Impact is in five minutes; I suggest you evacuate."
Bob: "Great. I'll pass that along."
Bob: "All Army units, this is the President. Disengage immediately and escape the battlefield in any direction you can. I repeat, disengage immediately. C-in-C out."
Secretary of Offense: "Sir, as your secretary of offense I must advise you not to-"
Bob: "The Britannian command ship is going to land here in about five minutes. It is not going to be a very smooth landing. If you want to stay, go right ahead."
Secretary of Offense: "Well, I guess it could have gone worse."

Justices hear case of American born in Jerusalem
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court seems unlikely to rule for a
9-year-old boy who was born in Jerusalem and wants his U.S.
passport to list his place of birth as Israel.
Menachem Zivotofsky and his parents were at the high court
Monday for arguments over his challenge to a State Department
policy that won't allow his passport to show he was born in Israel.
The Obama administration says the passport policy is in line with
longstanding foreign policy that says the status of Jerusalem
should be resolved in negotiations.
President George W. Bush signed a law in 2002 that contained a
provision giving Americans born in Jerusalem the right to have
Israel listed as their birthplace. But Bush said in a signing
statement that he wouldn't obey that part of the law because it
limits the president's authority to direct U.S. foreign policy.
The justices seemed reluctant to question the White House
position that the law was an improper congressional attempt to
speak for the country on foreign policy.

Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross is ready to snub Tottenham as he prepares to sign a long-term contract extension with the Potters.
The defender is highly regarded among Stoke's fellow Premier League sides, making his England debut in last month's friendly defeat to Sweden , and has been tracked by both Tottenham and Manchester United over the course of the season.
But the 25-year-old says he wants to continue his development under Tony Pulis at Stoke and is ready to sign a reported six-year deal to keep him at the Britannia Stadium.
'I want to stay and they want to keep me,' Shawcross said. 'The talks are ongoing. I'm happy, the club is happy.
'But the main reason I want to stay is the gaffer. He's been great to me throughout my time here and made me captain at a young age. I've told him I want to stay here.
'He's improved me as a player every year — and he got me into the England squad because that was a goal of mine.
'I don't want to go — even if a top four club comes in for me — but it's all down to the people above me now.'

Green – It's bigger than you think
- April 1, 2008
- |
By Bernie Niemeier
Just a few years ago, the adjective "green" conjured up a batch of politically correct images: Europe's Green Party, Greenpeace making the world safe for baby seals, Earth Day and redwood-climbing Californians.
Today's picture is quite different. Green has gone mainstream. Businesses are increasingly comfortable with environmentally friendly ideas. This makes both political and economic sense.
As a baby boomer, it's hard not to see generational impacts in most trends. Business leaders who came of age in the '60s now have the chance to approve sustainable design features for new corporate structures.
At the same time, a new generation of employees expects global stewardship.
Municipal recycling programs are widespread. Aluminum recycling is replacing bauxite mining.
It seems like only months ago that global warming was debatable. Now it's accepted as fact. In some countries, factory emissions are already controlled by marketable carbon exchange permits.
Environmentally sustainable business practices are common supply-chain requirements. In a global economy, these trends already affect Virginia.
What's missing in the dialogue? It's the same thing most often missing in partisan politics — a middle ground of compromise and collaboration.
Sustainable practices don't mean going back to living around the campfire. Parts of the Third World are already largely deforested without experiencing the conveniences of modern living. Nor do sustainable practices mean disregarding environmental impacts. Problems that are here now cannot be abated by leaving them for future generations.
Take, for example, nuclear energy. Many environmentalists see nuclear power as the ultimate evil. Despite a near -perfect safety record in this country (the Three-Mile Island accident in 1979 was entirely contained within the facility), there have been no new nuclear construction permits issued in the U.S. for more than 30 years. Today,
there are seven applications on file for new reactors, including one in Virginia.
Virginia's existing nuclear facilities provide 29 percent of the state's electrical energy. That's more than most people realize, and it's being done with technology and a capital infrastructure that is more than 30 years old. New plants will be even safer and built to more efficient standards.
Nuclear waste disposal, of course, remains a political hot potato for the nuclear industry. Meanwhile, carbon emissions from the majority of other power sources, not to mention automobiles, go largely uncaptured. They do far more harm than nuclear, which is about as close as science has been able to bring us to clean energy.
Coal is another example. Though coal is largely vilified as the major source of greenhouse emissions, newer and cleaner technologies, such as coal-to-liquid and carbon sequestration, hold great promise.
It is wrong to rule out nuclear and clean-coal technologies. The U.S. military is the world's largest consumer of foreign oil. (What does that mean for our international security?)
Aviation fuel alone accounts for 58 percent of the Department of Defense's total energy cost. The U.S. Air Force has committed to sourcing 50 percent of its continental U.S. fuel from coal-to-liquid blends by 2016.
If the world's largest oil consumer has this level of commitment, surely there are business opportunities in Virginia to help supply clean-energy solutions.
States such as West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio are making major investments in clean-energy development. Virginia should follow their example.
So what does it mean to be green? We are well past the days of tree-hugging generalizations.
Like most complex problems, environmental solutions make strange bedfellows. Energy and environmental lobbyists need to work together. Government, the military, universities, technologists and businesses all stand to benefit from being partners in the creation of new solutions.
Green is a business opportunity for Virginia that can benefit many sectors of our economy. It's bigger than you think.

The Process of Colony Division Among the Hutterians:
A Case Study
Peters, Victor. "The Process of Colony Division Among the Hutterians: A Case Study." International Review of Modern Sociology 6, 1976, 57-64.
A distinctive characteristic of the Hutterians is their practice of colony division when a population of about 150 is reached. The parent colony provides land, buildings, and equipment and is then divided into two equal parts with a minister and farm managers in each. In the case cited, the daughter colony was established on a land-base much smaller than is needed for economic survival, which suggests that a trend may be developing toward semi-industrial and commercial diversification.
Most of the historical communal groups in the United States did not have a steady and consistent population growth and consequently did not have to face the problems associated with expansion due to population pressure. The Oneida and the Harmony societies either restricted natural population growth or practiced continence, while the Amanas of Iowa had a sufficiently secure economic base to provide for their natural increase. In some societies the number of converts added were exceeded by the number of members who left the community. While the Hutterians gained very few converts during the period that they have been in the United States and Canada, their phenomenal natural increase made it mandatory for them to make provision for the equitable division of colony populations and assets. This paper is a case study of a colony division in process. The Minnesota Big Stone Colony division may be of special significance in that the Hutterians in this instance are prepared to set up a new colony on a much smaller land base than is customary among the Hutterians. This will mean increased agricultural and industrial diversification which in turn may affect the social structure and texture of the society.
Big Stone, Minnesota: The Process of Colony Division Among The Hutterians
The Hutterians came to North America one hundred years ago.1
During this period the greatest innovation introduced and developed
by them may well be the regular and orderly process of colony
division. It is undertaken whenever a colony feels that it is
approaching or has reached its optimum population. The pattern
of colony division is similar among all colony congregations in
the United States and Canada. Despite the absence of a clear historical
directive the process operates not only effectively but has also
universal acceptance among the brotherhood. Colonies grow and
divide with an assurance that almost resembles the instinct of
the salmon when it takes its course to spawn in fresh water. I
have been unable to trace the innovator of this process. Indeed,
like some other internal developments among the Hutterians, it
most likely was not the brainchild of any one man, but rather
a communal decision reached after long discussions.
The Big Stone Colony, the example under study, is located in Graceville in Minnesota, and is branching out to found the Pleasant Valley Colony at Flandreau, in South Dakota. Big Stone itself is an offspring of the New Elmspring Colony (1936) in South Dakota, which, like all Schmiedeleut colonies, traces its history back to the original Bon Homme Colony (1874) in South Dakota.
A few figures and statistics on Big Stone Colony may serve as factual background. It was founded in 1958 when New Elmspring split and nine families, 78 adults and children, made the move to Big Stone. The colony began with 2620 acres of land, which has since been enlarged to 3480 acres, of which 3080 acres are under cultivation. At the present time the colony is also renting 480 acres.
Big Stone now has 22 families, or a total of 143 people. As positions in the various enterprises began to duplicate or double-up and school and dining room became crowded, the colony people began to consider branching out. In the spring of 1974 the colony bought 480 acres of land near Flandreau, SD. It is marginal land and only 150 acres of it are under cultivation. The projected colony, named Pleasant Valley, will be 120 miles south of Big Stone.2
The colony has elected a second minister, which is a mandatory requirement before a colony can consider branching out. The man elected was the "turkey man" Joseph Wollman, age 47. The plans have not progressed to the point where a division of families and assets can take place. No date has been set for the move to the new colony where an active building program is in progress. According to Reverend Samuel Hofer, age 50, the senior minister at Big Stone, about half the people will make the move to Pleasant Valley.
When the colony divides the two colonies will not only have about the same population, but the demographic structure of both colonies will approximate each other as closely as a division of people will permit without separating families. A completed colony division among the Schmiedeleut may be cited as an example. In 1956 the Manitoba colony of Sturgeon Creek had 102 people and Crystal Spring had 94. (see Figure 1)
|Figure 1. The Population Pyramids of a Parent and a Daughter Colony After a Colony Division
At the present time men from Big Stone spend days and weeks at
Pleasant Valley engaged in building homes, barns for livestock,
hogs and poultry, erecting shops, shelters, and feed silos. Men
from other colonies may volunteer to help and a small group of
women cook the meals and may do some finishing and painting in
the houses. Once this building program nears completion the colony
will make a careful inventory of all its assets: buildings, land,
tools, machinery, grain and feed, and the enterprises such as
livestock, poultry, hogs, etc. It will also total its debts, mortgages,
and other financial obligations. Assets and liabilities are then
carefully divided on a per capita basis. Whether a family will
remain at the old colony or move to the new colony, it is assured
of maximum economic equity. After these important preliminaries
the colony is ready for a population (family) division.
The form of division of assets may be quite flexible. Depending on the needs of each colony it may be possible to divide such possessions as tractors, combines, farm implements, and trucks evenly, and livestock and hogs by headcount. The mode of family division within certain limits may also vary. The division undertaken at the Manitoba colony of Riverside followed the more customary method and was described to me by Reverend John Hofer, the minister at Riverside:
Riverside had two ministers, and these men now prepared two lists of all the families in the community. Care was taken that the heads of families who worked in the same enterprise, with the poultry, or with livestock, or in the carpentry shop, should appear on separate lists. Similarly the size of the family would be considered; each list contained small and large families. An approximately equal number of young and old couples were included in each list. Once completed, these two lists were submitted to the community-congregation for possible adjustments. If any family felt there was a good reason to transfer from one list to the other, it could apply for such a transfer. If the community thought the reason was valid it in turn would approve the transfer.
As soon as the congregation was in general agreement that both lists were about equal in all respects the lists were placed in a hat and das Los, a drawing, decided which group was to remain on the home colony and which one was to leave for the new colony. Since the two colony ministers were responsible for drawing up the two lists, their names on either list could indicate a preference for one particular group. To avoid giving the impression of such a preference the two ministers then drew lots to see which one would remain and which one was to join the new colony. The two ministers at the Riverside colony were father and son, and das Los decided that the senior minister move to Bloomfield, and the younger remain at the mother colony.3
A colony, however, may have a number of families who would prefer to move to the new colony, and an equal number who would favor remaining at the old colony. Unless there are good reasons against such a natural division, it may be accepted by the colony and the branches would follow on these lines. Again, numerically about equal groups may each have a natural empathy for one of the two ministers. In that case the name of each minister may be placed with the respective list and the Los (draw) decides which group leaves and which remains. In operation the pattern for colony division is flexible and other variations of the modes indicated may be acceptable, given that the process be mutually satisfactory and equitable, and neither of the groups is motivated by a wish to depart from traditional Hutterian ways.
The colonies keep in close touch with each other with many marriages taking place between colonies. Figure 2 shows the in and out marriages for one colony, all within the Hutterian society.
|Figure 2. Marriages at Sunnyside Colony in Manitoba: Ten males took brides from other colonies; Ten brides left the colony to marry men at other colonies; five Hutterians at Sunnyside married brides from the home colony.
By the time Big Stone is ready to branch out it will have 150 people. Among the Schmiedeleut this is regarded as the ideal population quota. After the division both the old and the new colony will have sufficient manpower. An earlier split could create a labor shortage and impose hardships on all parties. The Dariusleut and Lehrerleut who pursue a less intensive form of agriculture in Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan undertake divisions with much smaller populations. The nature of the land and their enterprises make it necessary for them to have an acreage base that is usually more than twice the size of that of a Schmiedeleut colony.
Largely because of the rising cost of land the Schmiedeleut have within the last few decades still further intensified and diversified their enterprises. The purchase of only 480 acres of land without the prospects of immediate further expansion for a new colony is unprecedented. Since Big Stone is a heavy producer of meats, it was anticipated that Pleasant Valley would base its enterprises on the inflationary rise of meat prices. Some of the people at Big Stone, as well as at other colonies, are frankly concerned whether this somewhat speculative venture will prove successful. The feed raised by most Schmiedeleut colonies is not sufficient to sustain the beef and dairy, hog, and turkey and poultry enterprises, and their own feed supply is supplemented with bulk purchases from neighboring farmers and grain elevators. With the rising price for grain and feed grain and the drop in the price of meats the Hutterians face an unenviable economic squeeze.
The uncertain future may persuade the Hutterians to experiment with commercial and industrial enterprises. Last year a Manitoba colony, Crystal Spring, bought discarded machines and assembled its own alfalfa dehydrating plant. It is competing with large industrial plants for a wide market. The investment, relatively small when compared to the cost of buying land, has proved most successful. The impulse for still greater changes and colony innovations may be attributed at least in part to the new Hutterian relationship with the Society of Brothers.
The Society of Brothers, which originated in Germany, has at present colonies in New York, Pennsylvania, and in England.4 They have always been interested in a merger with the Hutterians. Despite serious differences negotiations are again under way which may result in Hutterian acceptance of the Society of Brethren as a fourth congregation (Arnoldleut). Hutterian leaders have visited these colonies in the east and have been especially impressed with the success of their domestic industrial-commercial enterprises, with the factory located at the colony and the colony also in charge of wholesale distribution. When Dr. A. Khoshkish and I interviewed Reverend Samuel Hofer at Big Stone, who had visited Woodcrest Community at Rifton (New York), we also discussed the feasibility of colony industrialization. Hofer's response was:
We are thinking about it. We have to get away from the heavy investment in land. Eventually we have to go in the direction of the community in New York which manufactures and markets toys very successfully. We would be better able to use our labor in that type of industry, and we could permit the colonies to grow large before we branch out and still have work for all. 5
It is too early to project a trend in the development at Big
Stone. Setting up a new colony of nine to eleven families on a
land base of 480 acres, with only one-third of it suitable for
cultivation, is, in the words of Hofer, "something that has not been done before." The
Hutterians may have reached the crest of colony expansion, at least among the Schmiedeleut. If the anticipated semi-industrial and commercial diversification occurs, we can expect a graphic leveling of Hutterian colony multiplication.
1. In the years 1874-1877 three Hutterian communal owned and operated colonies were established in Dakota Territory. The Hutterians were Germans who had migrated to Russia in 1770, but when a century later that country introduced compulsory military service, they emigrated to the United States. The three colonies were known as the Schmiedeleut, Dariusleut, and Lehrerleut. They became the "mother" congregations of all Hutterian colonies in the United States and Canada. Today the Schmiedeleut have 89 colonies (Manitoba 52, South Dakota 34, North Dakota three, Minnesota one). The Dariusleut have 77 colonies (Alberta 57, Saskatchewan 11, Montana seven, Washington two). The Lehrerleut have 61 colonies (Alberta 31, Montana 16, Saskatchewan 14). That is the total of 214 colonies, of which 63 are in the United States and 151 in Canada.
2. When the land purchase took place the local newspaper gave the event extensive coverage, and praised the Hutterians for their dedication and industry. See The Northern Star, Clinton and Graceville, Minn., April 1974.
3. Peters, pp. 117-118. Variations of colony division as they appear in Bennett, pp. 184-192, and Hostetler, pp. 185-192, are of course equally valid.

Apocalypse 2012?
CNN has an article up titled Apocalypse in 2012? Date spawns theories, film. It was written by A. Pawlowski. It centers on what some believe in regards to the Mayan calendar regarding the "end of the world."
The article notes:
Just as "Y2K" and its batch of predictions about the year 2000 have become a distant memory, here comes "Twenty-twelve."
Fueled by a crop of books, Web sites with countdown clocks, and claims about ancient timekeepers, interest is growing in what some see as the dawn of a new era, and others as an expiration date for Earth: December 21, 2012.
The date marks the end of a 5,126-year cycle on the Long Count calendar developed by the Maya, the ancient civilization known for its advanced understanding of astronomy and for the great cities it left behind in Mexico and Central America.
Of course, many scholars disagree with this. Some dispute that the end of the Mayan calendar means anything. Other argue that it only means that a time of change is coming which may have nothing to do with doomsday. Even others dispute that the Mayan calendar is ending on December 21st, 2012.
Regardless, expect some people to go nuts. "The whole year leading up to it is going to be just crazy, I'm sorry to say," David Stuart, director of the Mesoamerica Center at the University of Texas at Austin. "I just think it's sad, it really just frustrates me. People are really misunderstanding this really cool culture by focusing on this 2012 thing. It means more about us than it does about the Maya."
Here is a good tip. If you want to start a money making end of the world cult, now is a good time. There are a lot of impressionable people who will fork over their life savings for a chance at survival. If you are wrong, you get to keep the money probably by invoking religious freedom. If you are right, the world ended anyway. Why not enjoy the end times in style?

My freshman are completely fascinated and obsessed with the Apocalypse 2012 thing.
To the point where it is driving me crazy too. :-)
I explained to them that they can't live their life stressing about everything that may or may not happen in the future. Just live your life to the fullest and be happy. :-)

My students are nuts about this, too. Unfortunately for my Latin America classes I'm talking obsessed seniors and juniors. Last fall I brought in a few Christian texts from Europe that pegged exact dates of destruction (that have passed) and we didn't hear much from them the rest of the semester.
960, 999, 1033, 1186, 1260, 1524, 1532, 1533, 1534, 1537, 1544, 1572, 1584, 1588, 1648, 1654, 1665, 1704, 1719, 11736, 1757, 1761, 1774, 1801, 1814, 1820, 1843, 1844, 1874, 1881, 1914, 1936, 1947, 1953, 1975, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1996, 1999, 2000…
These are just some of the years where various theologians, alchemists, soothsayers, astrologers, pyramidologists, numerologists, and other similar nut cases FAILED to accurately predict the end of the world!
I know this is a history blog but studends are in need of some REAL science education along with principals of logic and reason!
Gosh, those Mayans knew a lot. Let's ask them directly! Oh wait, they missed the end of time for themselves by some 1,400 years. Get a grip you people.
- Time Bandit said...
Thanks for the tip, Miland! I was thinking about starting up an end of the world myself. I teach high school, so I do have my summers free for emotionally manipulating hundred of robe-wearing acolytes.
My students in the world history class seemed pretty upset when I told them that the end of the world was just the change-over date for the Mayan calendar. I have to wonder if there isn't something in the human psyche that sort of wants the final Doomsday to come along and wipe out the universe. Hindu, Christian, and other thought systems seem to get their followers' attention best when they explain how we're all gonna die any day now.
Of course, from the Mayan point of view, the world really has ended quite a few time. The Aztec, the Spanish, and arguably even Nafta-powered US agri-businesses with their genetically modified foods have come along and overrun their communities. The upside to the periodic end of the world is apparently how dependably human beings seem to survive the destruction of the world.

Time Bandit,
Good luck with your cult. I see my post as a form of public service announcement. Cults makes history more interesting. Many historians have made their careers from studying one or more of them.
Of course, I am a non-issue. The cults will come anyway. 2012 will generate one or more that will be of historical note.

i'm half white mountain apache, grew up on the rez, the hopi calendar is also coming through a cycle.
here's what a hopi friend said to me about that:
the calendars are something we use to explain the workings of things far beyond our comprehension. we have to simplify and make it something small enough for us to understand. our calendar does not have an effect on the workings of the stars, sun or moon. it just makes it something we can grasp a little part of.
I know some people will just think i am insane or nuts for saying this but ever since birth i have known the world will end soon and every night i dream the same dream. A huge hill with me runing up it and then theres this huge metal platform suspended in the air and i jump over it and theres fire all around me.
Also everytime i look around outside everything i see turns dead before my eyes i went into my history lesson and i looked up and the roof collapsed the floor disintergrated away and i saw skeletons around me.
Can someone please explain to me how i knew about this 2012 stuff before i even knew what it was about. Also can someone please tell me what any of my dreams or visions actually are about.
And also i think the reason why everyone wants the world to end is that they are fed up with living crappy lives and want something new also if the world was ending people would do what they want knowing there are no consequences other than heaven or hell if you believe in them.
- sorato_freak said...
I also had a similar dream where I am looking out in my neighborhood and I see a wave of fire consuming me and knowing it is the end.
Of course, it is just a dream just found it curious when a close friend had almost the same dream just a different setting. When we discussed the fire in my dream was coming from the north and hers from the south.
I wish I could understand what dreams meant.
Anyway, if the world was going to end anytime soon, I'd rather not know about it.

Fire Inside Hamilton Mall Out
An early moring fire at the Hamilton Mall's Hollister store has been extinguished and the mall will be open normal hours today.
The Atlantic County Fire Marshal tells WMGM TV the fire broke out around 6:30AM and was put out quickly. Emergency crews used exhaust fans to vent the store and other areas of the mall using exhaust fans.
WCAU TV reports the fire started in a cash register which tripped the store's sprinkler system.
The fire created thick black smoke inside the mall before firefighters brought it under control.
This is a breaking story. Check back for more details.

We're big fans of Windows 8.1 Preview and highly recommend doing a "clean install", if you can spare the time and effort. Indeed, personally speaking I'm running it on four devices: Acer R7, Surface Pro, Dell XPS One 27, Acer W3 and Samsung ATIV 500T. Wait, that's five devices….
Anywho, if you are running next-generation OS from Microsoft, which will RTM in August, you'll want to force-check for today's updates, which include four 8.1 updates:
- KB2863147 – Fixes a license notification issue. Basically Microsoft migrates your Windows 8 license to 8.1 and this will make sure it doesn't expire and that you can still upgrade to the final Windows 8.1
- KB2865946 – Smart card PIN disclosure after an automatic restart for Windows Update
- KB2866512 – Internet Explorer 11 Preview freezes or crashes while loading a web page containing widgets
- KB2866537 – Windows Store app instability after an app update in Windows 8.1 Preview
Truth be told, that's only a handful of fixes though we could imagine the license and IE11 ones are fairly significant for some users, in addition we like a more stable Store too.
How's the 8.1 Preview treating you so far? Let us know in comments!

MSI, the makers of the much vaunted U100 'Wind' netbook, have announced a new version of the machine featuring both an SSD drive and a conventional hard disk.
According to MSI, the U115 is the first netbook released to combine the two types of storage in a single machine. Users can choose to run Windows from the SSD (solid-state drive), while reserving the HDD for file storage, a configuration that the company claims maximises performance while minimising power drain.
The company has not specified the expected battery life under real world conditions, but this 'eco on' mode will look attractive given the U115's modest 3-cell battery .
In almost every other way, the new model is much like a refresh of the old one, with the standard 1.6GHz Atom N270 chip running Windows XP, an LED-based 10 inch screen, 1GB of RAM, and 802.11n WiFi. The storage comes in two options, an 8Gb SSD paired with a 120GB 2.5 inch HDD, or a 16GB SSD and a 160GB HDD.
As curious as MSI's hybrid storage design might be, it is typical of the creativity that the whole netbook phenomenon seems to have prompted from vendors in the previously stodgy notebook market. The lesser names of the market seem particularly determined to reinvent the laptop in a new guise, one based around greater portability, better battery life, and lower cost.
For established vendors used to selling laptops costing at least $1,000 (£700) this market shift must seem unnerving.
Pricing for the U115 has not been announced though when the machine is shown at the forthcoming Consumer electronics Show 9CES) it is likely to be on par with the launch price for the original u100 Wind.

If you were to research "Surprise Parties," you would find that virtually every article addresses how to throw one, but not whether or not you should. The advice given carefully lays out tips and suggestions on time frames, communication, parking, alibis, and even back-up plans, yet every article ignores the most important question: does the recipient want or even like surprise parties? Given my ten years of practical party planning, I strongly recommend considering this. A surprise party likely has four possible scenarios that will play out:
- The first: "Surprise!" – you pulled it off – he/she is genuinely astonished and happy about it.
- The second: "Surprise!" – you pulled it off, but the recipient is not happy.
- The third: "Surprise!" – no surprise – he/she was on to you and despite appreciating your time and effort, you're frustrated and disappointed.
- And finally the fourth: "No Surprise!" – he/she knew in advance, isn't happy and neither are you.
So what you're left with is a 50/50 chance that all your hard work will be worth it in end. The fourth scenario is what played out when I tried to throw my husband a surprise 35th birthday party. We spent the better half of twenty minutes in the car arguing before putting him up to making a halfhearted appearance. Needless to say, it was the last time I did that. Reflecting back weeks later, I realized that the failed surprise party was my fault, not his. I like surprises; I love the attention and flattery that comes with it. That's not him.
So the point is, before diving headfirst into planning this type of venue, find out whether or not this person likes surprises of any type, if he or she likes being the center of attention and if the guest of honor handles spontaneity well. If you're uncertain, the odds are you may want to probe a little further or consider another type of party.
On a personal note, I still love surprising my husband, but now I do it with surprise trips, surprise themes (to a party he knows is going to take place) or simply surprising him by having doughnuts delivered.
For tips on how to pull off a surprise party–if you're brave enough to go for it–watch for next month's entry for my tips and advice on planning a surprise party.
As always, I would love to hear your stories or thoughts.

Ballito is a small serene resort town on South Africa's warm sub-tropical east coast, about 42 kilometers north of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal.
Ballito has a beautiful natural bay, facing the Indian Ocean, with wonderful sea views and exquisite immaculate beaches, and is encircled by sloping green hills rising behind. The lovely setting led to the development of a holiday village on the seafront amidst luxuriant tropical vegetation
Ballito is the heart of the Dolphin Coast. Schools of dolphins can be seen frolicking in the clear shallow waters of the bay. In summer people watch the whales on their yearly journey up north to Mozambique. It is peaceful and quiet most of the year, but has shops, hotels and all necessary amenities.
Ballito is away from noise and crowds, ideal for people wanting a restful time surrounded by nature and the sound of waves. It is perfect for families with children, a blissful place to enjoy the open air, with golden beaches and wonderful views of the turquoise ocean.
There are four beaches and the water is warm all year. The beaches here are exceptional. Willards, the main beach, has Blue Flag Status with shark nets and lifeguards, and is for swimming and body boarding. Salmon Bay is the surfing beach. Clarke beach also has shark nets and lifeguards, and little rock pools. South of this beach, on Ballito Point, is a big Olympic size tidal pool built between the rocks. The pool water is refreshed by the high tide every day. There is also Thompsons Bay beach for picnics, beach games and tanning.
There is a 2 ½ kilometer scenic boardwalk curving along the beachfront for walking and jogging. Fishing licences are available and there is prolific birdlife for bird watching. Game reserves and nature trails are nearby. There are interesting scenic drives to explore the countryside and untouched beaches around Ballito. Horse riding, golfing, deep sea fishing, scuba diving and microlight flights are available. There is a reptile park also.
Ballito has three shopping malls, so although far out of Durban, it is not entirely out in the wild. There are luxurious spas, restaurants and bars, and a nightclub. The massive Gateway shopping centre and Umhlanga are 30 minutes away on the motorway, for excursions to a busier part of the world, with more shops, nightclubs and movie houses.
Ballito has numerous coffee shops, pubs, and restaurants to choose from. Below are some local and international favourites!
Beira Alta is a sophisticated restaurant, and specialises in portuguese and south african food. Mo-Zam-Bik, relaxed, friendly and near the beach, is another restaurant with portuguese and african cuisine.
Al Pescatore, with italian cuisine and seafood, is above Clarke beach overlooking the ocean, so one can sit out on the deck and watch the dolphins and surfers.
Thava Indian Restaurant does delicious fresh aromatic curries and is elegant and upmarket. The Thandi Restaurant at Zimbali, with a calm atmosphere in the midst of indigenous forest, has breakfasts and lunches with continental, indian and south african food.
The Crayfish Inn, in a stunning setting overlooking Ballito in the tower of La Montagne Hotel, is a charming restaurant for fine dining, with a wide range of fish dishes and salads.
Fiamma Grill, with picturesque natural forest surroundings overlooking the ocean, has italian Tuscan style food. The Beach Hut is popular and suits families with children. Zara's Cafe is a trendy casual bistro in the Lifestyle Centre, for breakfasts and lunches, and a tempting selection of cakes.
There is a wealth of luxury hotels, guest houses, and terraced apartments on the seafront. A wide choice of excellent accommodation is available, due to the fortuitous position of rising hills overlooking the sea. There are comfortable guest houses in lush tropical gardens, and self catering beach apartments with magnificent sea views, as well as b&b's. There are many places available right on the beach, something not often found, another reason Ballito is a favourite holiday destination.
There is no reliable public transport, as Ballito is out of town, so it is best to hire a car. King Shaka airport has made access easy however, and it is a short 20 minute drive on the N2, with not much traffic after Umhlanga. There is also a daily Airport Shuttle Service to Ballito. The N2 continues up the South African east coastline towards Mozambique in the north. Durban and the south coast are in the opposite direction.
Air: Ballito has no airport of it's own, however guests can arrive at Durban's King Shaka airport and either drive, taxi or shuttle the 42kms trip north through to the town.
Car:It is best to either take your car or rent one while visiting Ballito. It is easy to rent one in Durban or online.
Taxis/cabs: There are taxi services available in Ballito. These tend to be expensive if you travel further that a few kilometers in them.
Ballito was originally sugar cane farms. The beauty of the surrounding landscape and perfect setting is why it is called the "Pearl" of the Dolphin Coast.
In 1954 Ballito was declared a proper town.
Hotels, luxury apartments and houses were built along the seashore as it became a popular family holiday destination.
Once the King Shaka airport opened in 2010, access to Ballito became direct and the business sector developed a large commercial park nearby on the N2.
Many young families have moved there in recent years, following the business developments, and schools and churches were built. The population has now grown to 20,000, so Ballito is no longer only a holiday resort town.
Several private and exclusive gated complexes were built around the town, like the Zimbali Coastal Estate, a 700 hectare estate in a protected natural environment of coastal forest with miles of deserted beach.
Ballito is Italian for 'Little Ball', and is sometimes misspelt as Balito, Balitto, Ballitto Ballitoo or Baliito.

With the population of Ireland around 4.3 million in 1918, this means that at least one in every 200 persons was felled by influenza, during a period of just over one year.

Iran Might Sue Over "Argo?"
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian media say authorities are planning to sue Hollywood over the Oscar-winning "Argo" because of the movie's allegedly "unrealistic portrayal" of the country. Several news outlets report that a French lawyer is in Iran for talks with officials over how and where to file the lawsuit.

For a girl with allergies, pesto is typically on my "avoid" list – loaded with pine nuts or walnuts and fresh basil, means this amazing culinary creation is out.
Enter, spinach pesto.
It's absolutely delicious, although I can make no claims about the comparison of this pesto to the "original" basil pesto.
Great on sandwiches (speaking, of I have an amazing recipe coming later this week using said pesto), in wraps, on pizza or heck, even as a dip.
And, it's so easy to make. You likely even have all the ingredients on hand.
Creamy Spinach Pesto – Finding Joy in My Kitchen
- 3 C fresh spinach
- splash of lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 T Parmesan cheese
- 1/2-1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 heaping T Greek Yogurt
In a food processor or blender, combine 3 C fresh spinach with a splash of lemon juice, 1/8 tsp. minced garlic, 1 T Parmesan cheese (grated works best), 1 T of plain Greek Yogurt and 1/2 tsp. dried basil. Whirl away until smooth.
**Note: If you have oral allergy syndrome like me, just wilt the spinach before you make the pesto.
Taste, and if needed season with more basil to your liking. Add salt and pepper if you would like.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Makes about 1/2 C of pesto.

Jedihemian needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 415 designs submitted by 80 freelance designers.
We doing a project called "Winning Without Losing" with the subtitle "Discover how a new class of entrepreneurs are building their fortunes while living a happy and balanced life" and would like a logo for the website http://www.winning-without-losing.com (dont mind the crappy layout, we will adjust the site to the style and colours of the logo you make)
The project is about finding ways to be successful professionally, while having a balanced and happy life.
The target audience are professionals and entrepreneurs who are interested in the debate about being successful and balanced at the same time. The logo should engage them and signal there there are at least two sides of winning - winning in business and winning on a personal level.
What we would like a logo that somehow reflects on the title and/or the focus of the project. It could be many things, please come up with creative ideas, our suggestion that we find works best on a conceptual level is a combination of a heart and a dollar-sign.
We tried some other combinations, but none of these really worked for us:
- a symbol of winning (coin, cub, medal), combined with a symbol of happiness/balance (yin-yan, lotus flower, budha)
- a coin with two upsides
However, if you have other ideas, try them out! Or send me a message to ask if we have already considered it - exited to get new ideas to illustrate "winning without losing"
It should be simple, stylish, catch the eye, surprise and be an icon you remember after seeing it once.
It should be beautiful, and reflect the two foci of the book – professionalism and balance. It is a serious project and the logo should reflect this, not be too cartoon-ish.
We are going to ask the designer who wins the competition to also do a header for the website, and iphone app icon and possibly later also the layout of the book cover when the book is ready to print.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Wobbly Clocks
Pulsars are some of the most bizarre objects in the universe. And an experiment that's being developed now may allow scientists to use pulsars to confirm a prediction in Albert Einstein's theory of gravity.
A pulsar is the tiny, ultradense core of a dead star. Some pulsars spin up to hundreds of times per second, beaming energy into space like a cosmic lighthouse.
The timing of these "pulses" of energy is so precise that pulsars are some of the best clocks in the universe. And astronomers may be able to use those clocks to detect something predicted in Einstein's equations: gravitational waves. Richard Price of the University of Texas at Brownsville explains:
PRICE: We can detect these pulsars as if they were perfect clocks fixed at a point in the universe. When we see some sort of variability in that timing, we can, in principle, infer that that variability is due to the passage of a gravitational wave between us and the pulsar.
Gravitational waves are "ripples" in spacetime caused by the motions of massive objects. There's evidence that they exist, but no proof.
As they move through space, they change the distances between objects by a tiny amount. The pulsar experiment is designed to detect very long waves, which should be produced by monster black holes in distant orbits around each other. Such waves may also be left over from the Big Bang.
If the experiment works, it would provide one more confirmation of Albert Einstein's theory of gravity.

The PASS Data Architecture Virtual Chapter will host part II of Designing for Common Problems in SQL Server by Dr. SQL Louis Davidson as he helps application and database developers design and implement SQL Server databases.
I saw Louis at the first PASS Summit I attended in Denver in 2006. He and Paul Nielsen help me see where data models and normalization can increase the efficiency with storing and retrieving data.
They also encouraged me by their presentations to start talking about database design at work and in the SQL community.
Please join us on Thursday October 11th at Noon Central for another informative presentation.
Subject: Designing for Common Problems in SQL Server Part II
Start Time: Thursday October 11th, 2012 12:00 PM US Central Time
End Time: Thursday October 11th, 2012 1:00 PM US Central Time
Presenter: Louis Davidson
Live Meeting Link: Live Meeting
Designing for Common Problems in SQL Server II
In this session, I will do a design and code review of several common patterns of solving problems that a typical programmer will come up against. Problems like coding for hierarchical data, data driven design, dealing with image data, structure generalization, user specified schemas, dimensional reporting, and dealing with uniqueness beyond what you might deal with using a simple uniqueness constraint might allow you to deal with.
Louis Davidson
Louis has been in the IT industry for 17 years as a corporate database developer and architect. He has been a Microsoft MVP for 8 years and has written 5 books on database design and has spoken on the topic of database design and implementation at SQL PASS, SQL Rally, many SQL Saturday events, as well as Devlink. Currently serves as the Data Architect for the Christian Broadcasting Network supporting offices in Virginia Beach, Virginia and Nashville, Tennessee. Louis has a bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in computer science. For more information please visit his website at drsql.org.
