Well, it was that time of year again.
Alex's breaks from school always result in us going to California.
It's close enough, free lodging, free food, and lots of family time. That equals a big win for us! :)
This time it was extra family time because the whole fam bam came!
Us and Jack came from Utah and Brittany's gang came up from Arizona.
It made for a very full house and a lot of fun!
We started out our week with a day at the beach!
It. Was. Heavenly!
I started out on the nice, warm sand. It was so soft against my feet and felt great between my toes.
I watched my nephews and niece playing in the water.
It looked so fun, but I knew it was so cold!
I couldn't help it any longer! I had to get in that water!
So I took the plunge and I am so glad I did!
Me, Britt, Alex, Jack, Isabelle, Jonah, and Hank spent the next hour or so boogie boarding.
I caught the most amazing wave on my last run!
It was the perfect way to end my water time.
I really could not handle the cold anymore so then I grabbed my towel, stuck my feet in the sand, and just listened to the sound of the waves and the children laughing.
The beach really is where I feel the most at ease with life.
Eventually we got hungry so we headed back to the house and then to get ready for family pictures.
So then it was back to the beach for us!
There are a lot of good ones, but here's a few samples:
Chris (BIL), Zak (nephew), Caleb (nephew), Jack (BIL), Violet (niece), Ann (MIL), Dylan (quasi niece), Hank (FIL), Alex, me, Clara (niece), Isabelle (niece), Eli (nephew), Brittany (SIL), Jonah (nephew), Abram (nephew). That's the whole clan minus Alex's other brother, Wes. We sure missed him while we were there.
The night was a gorgeous one!
The next day we just hung around Santa Barbara.
Britt, Ann, and I worked out in the morning and got our butts kicked by Ann's trainer.
(Kicked in a good way! :)
Then the whole family cruised downtown and we spent the majority of the day strolling the streets and the pier.
That evening consisted of pool time and getting ready for the big days ahead of us!
That next morning we got up bright and early to head down to Anaheim, CA to start our Disney adventures!!
I have only been to Disney World so I was SOOO excited for Disneyland!
I seriously wish I could have just taped the whole experience.
It really is the happiest place on earth.
And going with nieces and nephews make it even better because then you have an extra excuse to do the things/rides that you would not do/go on if it was just me and some friends. :)
Here are a few highlights:
The Mickey Wheel!
This is also the location of "World of Color" which is a water show at night.
Pretty much puts the Bellagio to shame!
They project images on the water and everything.
I may or may not have teared up a few times...don't judge.
Disney was my life as a child.
Cars Land is amazing! It seriously feels like you're on Route 66 cruisin' through the cartoon! And the Cars main ride is to die for! So much fun!
Tower of Terror is always a must! I haven't been on it in such a long time so I could not remember when it drops, plus I'm pretty sure it's slightly different than the Disney World one so I was really tripping out...obvs.
Disneyland at Halloween time is so much fun! There is decor everywhere.
Just been my dream forever to get a picture with this giant pumpkin Mickey!
Ahhhhmazing. :)
Please look at Zac, Alex, and Jack.
They kill me.
No one wanted to watch the parade besides me, Britt, Ann, and little Clara.
Everyone else missed out!
The parade was so stinkin' magical.
I may have gotten teary again...don't judge...again.
Rapunzel is Clara's favorite, but secretly I was just as excited, if not more, when she came around.
One major bummer...NO Jasmine in the parade. Aladdin was there. :(
We ended off our second day with this crazy dog. :)
Brittany's family stayed at Disney for a 3rd day, but we headed back to Santa Barbara.
We had a nice, relaxing day AND I got to see one of my girls that has already transitioned from New Haven. She is going to school there so we met up! It was awesome seeing her!
Brittany's family came back so we could all go to 6 Flags: Magic Mountain the next morning!
There were a lot of great coasters there!
Especially this one coaster we did towards the end of the night called X2!
It literally blew all of our minds. It was the best coaster I have ever been on...and I'm pretty sure everyone would agree.
I can't even explain it...you just have to go and test it for yourself.
We were all so dang tired at the end of the night!
We slept in a little bit the next morning and then just chilled by the pool until Alex, Jack, and I had to catch our flight back to Utah. :(
I do not like saying goodbye...at all.
I so do love the family I married in to.
I seriously thank my Heavenly Father every day for that side of my family (as well as my own blood family).
I hear stories from friends of their crazy in laws and I am so grateful that is not me.
I miss them all so much when we're not together.
It was such an incredible trip!
Thankfully I have some things to look forward to now:
-Thanksgiving/Alex's birthday...my in laws are coming up!
-Christmas!! We're going to South Carolina!!! I cannot wait! This is the longest stretch I have ever gone not being home!
Did I mention that Disneyland was magical?!

A Guide to the National Youth Administration of Texas Photograph Collection, 1939-1941
Historical Note
The National Youth Administration of Texas was an agency of the Work Projects Administration and later the Federal Security Agency and the War Manpower Commission from 1935 to 1943. It offered "work study" jobs to students and youth aged 16 to 25. For the most part, they worked on public buildings, highways and parks all over Texas. Some also were in residence at educational training centers at colleges. Inclusion in the program was based on financial need. After World War II began the agency refocused on the war effort but it was voted out of existence in 1943 as being too expensive and no longer necessary. The NYA in Texas was considered a success however, and served more than 175,000 youth during its existence. Maude H. Walker, the former owner of these photographs, was an official with the NYA in Texas from 1939-1941.

Published December 12, 2015
Israel approved the construction of 3,000 homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, a government official said Friday, drawing swift criticism from the Palestinians a day after their successful U.N. recognition bid.
The Palestinians strongly condemned the announcement and repeated their refusal to start peace negotiations while building continued. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apparently poised for re-election and insisting that any negotiations begin without preconditions, prospects for peace appear to be going into deep freeze.
The unusually large building plan came a day after the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to accept a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem as a non-member observer state, setting off jubilant celebrations among Palestinians.
Israel fiercely objected to the U.N. upgrade, saying peace could only come from direct negotiations and unilateral moves would harm that prospect. The Palestinians said the U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state in the territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war was an attempt to salvage a possible peace deal and could bolster talks.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has refused to negotiate with Israeli while settlement construction continues in occupied territories, saying Israel's settlement expansion on war-won land was making a partition deal increasingly difficult.
Prior to word of the Israeli decision, Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh insisted that position hadn't changed, saying settlement building "is not just illegal, it's against the resolution."
More than 500,000 Israelis have moved to the West Bank and east Jerusalem since Israel capturing those territories and Gaza in 1967. Israel unilaterally withdrew its soldiers and settlers from Gaza in 2005.
Netanyahu says negotiations must begin without preconditions.
The Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly, said Israel also decided to begin preliminary work in other areas of the West Bank, including the charged E-1 corridor that connects Jerusalem with the settlement bloc of Maaleh Adumim.
Construction there would place a major obstacle for Palestinian statehood by cutting off east Jerusalem from the West Bank and plans there had previously blocked by the Bush administration for that reason.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat condemned the Israeli announcement, saying Israel was "defying the whole international community and insisting on destroying the two-state solution."
He said the Palestinian leadership was studying its options.
Danny Seidemann, a lawyer for Ir Amim, an Israeli group that supports coexistence in Jerusalem, said construction did not appear imminent and there was "quite a lot of drama" in the Israeli announcement.
"There an element of sticking it to the Palestinians," he said, before adding that plans in E-1 were not only a blow to the Palestinians but to the Americans who oppose them too. "E-1 is the judgment day weapons."
Yesh Din, an Israeli rights group, called the Israeli decision "collective punishment" and called on Israel to retract its move.
"Israel should have understood by now that such behavior ... will no longer be tolerated by the international community," said Yesh Din's Executive Director Haim Erlich.
Earlier this month, Israel said it was pushing forward construction of 1,200 new homes in Jewish settlements, in an apparent warning to the Palestinians to rethink their U.N. plan. Israel fears the Palestinians will use their upgraded status to confront Israel in international bodies and extort it to make concessions.
In recent days, though, Israel had appeared to step back from its initial threats of harsh retaliation.
Former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, the onetime chief negotiator with the Palestinians, also slammed the decision.
"The decision at the U.N. on a Palestinian state is bad for Israel and so is Netanyahu's response," said Livni, who this week launched a new opposition party. "The decision to build thousands of housing units as punishment to the Palestinians only punishes Israel ... the unnecessary statement only isolates Israel further."
The results of the U.N. vote were a foregone conclusion, given the sympathies of nearly all member states. Only nine states opposed the bid, including Israel and the United States, while 138 supported it. Unlike the more powerful U.N. Security Council, there are no vetoes in the General Assembly, and the resolution to raise the Palestinian status only required a majority vote for approval.
The vote granted Abbas an overwhelming international endorsement for his key position: establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. Netanyahu opposes a full pullback to the 1967 lines.
The Palestinians turned to the U.N. after two decades of on-again, off-again talks.
Netanyahu dismissed the U.N. vote as meaningless and accused Abbas of delivering a "defamatory and venomous" U.N. speech "full of mendacious propaganda" against Israel.

Explore the historic highlights of Buzet
Sirmione castle was built near the end of the 12th century as part of a defensive network surrounding Verona. The castle was maintained and extended first as part of the Veronese protection against their rivals in Milan and later under the control of the Venetian inland empire. The massive fortress is totally surrounded by water and has an inner porch which houses a Roman and Medieval lapidary. From the drawbridge, a staircase leads to the walkways above the walls, providing a marvellous view of the harbour that once sheltered the Scaliger fleet. The doors were fitted with a variety of locking systems, including a drawbridge for horses, carriages and pedestrians, a metal grate and, more recently, double hinged doors. Venice conquered Sirmione in 1405, immediately adopting provisions to render the fortress even more secure, fortifying its outer walls and widening the harbour.
Thanks to its strategical geographical location as a border outpost, Sirmione became a crucial defence and control garrison for the ruling nobles, retaining this function until the 16th century, when its role was taken up by Peschiera del Garda.

Chronic Lung Disease in Infants: Caring for Your BabySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Home treatment is often needed for a baby who has been diagnosed with chronic lung disease . Before you take your newborn home from the hospital, you need to be able to:
- Recognize the symptoms and know what to do if your baby has difficulty breathing or stops breathing.
- Perform CPR in the unlikely event that your baby will need it.
- Recognize the early signs of upper respiratory infection , such as irritability, mild fever, nasal stuffiness, cough, difficulty breathing, or wheezing. If these signs develop, call your doctor.
- Safely and adequately feed your baby. A baby's nutritional needs are very important after he or she goes home. Newborns who have chronic lung disease need to have extra calories and protein in their diet. This helps their lungs heal and grow as normally as possible. Most newborns can be fed with breast milk or formula when they go home.
- Give the baby's prescribed medicines and monitor the effects.
- Call the doctor or seek emergency help if needed.
It will also be important for you to keep track of:
- Your baby's weight as often as the doctor requests. Watching for changes in a baby's weight is one way to tell whether his or her nutritional needs are being met.
- How much your baby drinks and feeds. Most babies get more nutrients if they are fed frequently and receive small amounts of fluid at a time. Allow your baby to rest during feeding if needed.
After you are at home, try to establish a regular, predictable routine of caring for your baby. Some suggestions to avoid problems linked with chronic lung disease include the following:
- Ask your doctor about how to schedule your baby's medicines.
- Try to do caregiving tasks (such as feeding and bathing) back-to-back or at the same time, between naps, to allow the baby to rest for longer periods of time.
- If the baby is having trouble breathing, wait to do the care until he or she is breathing more easily.
- Avoid exposing your baby to cold air, which can reduce the size of the lung airways and make it harder for him or her to breathe.
- Avoid having your baby around people who have upper respiratory infections such as a cold or the flu.
- Avoid exposing your baby to smoke from cigarettes or woodstoves, which irritates the lungs.
- Keep all appointments for follow-up visits with your baby's doctor. At these visits, the doctor can detect problems with growth or development.

No true bar is complete without a cocktail shaker—and besides, you've certainly never heard a suave secret agent order a martini "stirred, not shaken." Izola's version adds a dash of whimsy to this timeless piece of barware, with custom engravings ranging from humorous musings ("Shake, Rattle, & Roll") to a handy list of toasts in any language.
I love everything about this product and their company except it doesn't work the way it should. I just used it for the first time to make margaritas and the lids stays on when shaking but the liquid leaks out the sides. I have to use it without the lids now and shake with a pint glass instead. I feel it has superior lightweight materials except the part that is supposed to keep the liquid in.2

Well we have to check the bio's of who can't swim? if Leg 7 is a superleg it very well could be Mary again? what is she 4 for 6 now?
Cow lips, which sell for 58 cents a pound, for the most part are shipped to Mexico, where they are shredded, spiced, grilled and used for taco filling.
That looks like David & Mary in the back but it can't be because they can't swim. Remember: "water over your head, fall in. You're dead!"
Actually, I have never seen David eat cow lips. He is a very picky eater. That is why Mary ate the fish eyes in China. She had previously agreed to do the eating tasks and David Jr. to do the physical ones. Mary ate the fish eyes even though she absolutely can't stand fish. Never has liked it never will like it. Go Team Wildcat!

Manufactured Beauty
Thank you soooooo much for all the kind, supportive comments on my news from yesterday. Break-ups are always sensitive topics and I had no idea how to approach it. I am 100% okay. In fact, I'm in a really good spot right now :)
So last night after blogging, I decided to try out April's Protein Cake. I started off by mixing 30g chocolate whey protein powder, 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tsp Splenda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp strained bananas, 3 tbsp egg whites.
Oh, and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for good luck ;)
And by "strained bananas" I mean "baby food."
This stuff is just organic banana puree, organic lemon juice, ascorbic acid. It's actually a little on the tart side because of the lemon juice. Wonder if it's like your banana jam Ellie? Anyways, regardless, baby food is awesome.
I stuck my bowl/cup in the microwave for one minute and returned to a giant puffed-up monstrosity.
It exploded over the rim of the bowl, hence the "muffin top." I should have put this next top Deb's cellphone for a size comparison cause this bad boy was HUGE.
I broke it apart and put a light swipe of PB on it.
I did the calculations, and it was 180 calories, twice that of April's. I commented on it, and then April e-mailed saying she actually meant 15g protein powder!! Oops. To be honest, I wasn't quite sold on the spongey texture of this, but I guess I can't really judge if I made it wrong :P Gives me an excuse to try it again!
Moving on… I'm sleeping awful lately. I keep waking up 1-2 hours before my alarm goes off. I think it's because I'm still paranoid about being late for work. That will hopefully go away once the newness wears off! :P
Anyways, I was seriously out of it when I popped in Jillian this morning.
Brie recommended No More Trouble Zones when I asked her which Jillian Michaels DVD to get. I can see why she thought I'd like it. It's comprised of six strength circuits, each circuit going through ~4 exercises two times. They're legit moves, combining a lot of upper and lower body stuff to save time and keep your heart rate up.
I'm still not a fan of doing low weights/high reps, but this was a great at-home strength video. I burned 300 calories in 50 minutes (including warm-up + cool-down) which is more than a Body Pump class for me. What can I say, Jillian is good ;)
Oh! And I totally did today's workout in my peejays ;) Breakfast after was a belated Waffle Wednesday celebration. I'm a Thursday Slacker.
Two Nature's Path maple cinnamon waffles topped with 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 2 tsp almond butter, 1 tsp maple syrup, cinnamon. I didn't blend it today, just mixed it up with a fork. Stayed thicker and turned out better!
No food photos from work. I'm always rushed in the mornings, so if I pack my food in the a.m. I honestly can't spare 2 minutes to snap a photo. Sad. I was so rushed today I had didn't have 4 minutes to brew a french press and had to make instant coffee. Double sad :(
On the bright side, I made dinner plans with some girls from work! They've graciously adopted me into their little "clique" and I've been eating lunch with them in the university's cafeteria everyday. We decided that we need to go out once a week so tonight was the inaugural outing. Just dinner at a local "gastro pub." I was hungry, but didn't want to spoil dinner, so I had a snack to tie me over.
Banana + Naturally More almond butter. I'm saying it again – I love the crispiness the flax seeds add to that almond butter!!
Diner was fabbity fab. We gabbed and giggled for a solid four hours. I ate an okay chicken salad with a draft beer. It's been a long time since I had a group girls to hang out with. The majority of my friends in university were guys!
Now yesterday I mentioned that I was riled up over an upcoming story in which Heidi Montag says she's"beyond obsessed" with plastic surgery. Most recently undergoing 10 surgeries in one day. Remember Heidi? The cute bubby girl in the first season of MTV's The Hills?
Of all the "young celebrity" stories out there, I think hers is one of the saddest. I remember thinking she was drop-dead gorgeous when I first started watching the show. I can understand the insecurities and drive to consider making a few changes, but I think this is an extreme example.
Her most recent surgeries include a mini brow lift, Botox in the forehead, nose job revision, fat injections in cheeks and lips, chin reduction, neck liposuction, ears pinned back, breast augmentation revision, liposuction on her waist and thighs and a buttocks augmentation.
Dude, she's my age. Why on earth does a girl my age need Botox?? Actually, my real beef here is that no on needs Botox.
There are a lot of things that make a woman beautiful and attractive. Manufactured is not it. A striking woman is not one that gets to pick and choose her own looks, but works what she's got to the fullest.
Plastic surgery is obviously expensive and dangerous. But I think it's just another one of our culture's "easy fixes." Why take the time to eat well, exercise, sleep and treat our bodies well, when we can just fix the damage in an afternoon?
Plastic surgery has always irked me. More than that, it rattles me to the core. I've admittedly looked in the mirror and thought "I wish my body wasn't this way." But never would I undergo the knife as a healthy person to fix it. Even the "prettiest" girls out there still look in the mirror and see imperfections. I think that's the problem with plastic surgery – especially at such a young age. Because no number of tweaks and injections can cure a woman's insecurities. That's something that has to come from the inside. And that is when she truly is beautiful :)
Okee doke folks. I'm beat! T'was a late night with the gals and I've got a date with my bike trainer in the a.m. Night night!!
Question of the Day: What are your thoughts on plastic surgery?
P.S. Hair appointment is set for Friday. Will be back with pics!

Discussion (5) ¬
Not to mention, DAR spelled backwards is RAD! Which, very clearly, Erika is!
As a sidenote, I am a queer girl (married to a boy for five + years) who should be finishing her women's studies finals, but instead is reading this website from top to bottom … a more gushy email is forthcoming, but simply put, where have you been all my life?
On behalf of every reader ever, thanks for clearing that up.
Heh. the first time I saw the title of the comic, I thought it was a Search and Rescue reference (long story short: DAR in the Search and Rescue community means Designated Area for Recovery ie. a safe location to pick up someone with a helicopter if they are injured, lost, completely stoned on peyote, etc…) On second thought, that is a pretty good description of this comic, since I feel like I always 'recover' some of my good humor and positive energy when I surf over here for a comic or two. Or three. Great stuff, keep up the good work!
actually, my name is Dar. it's the mother of pearl in hebrew, which i see as a symbol of creative, fruitful treats of femininity.
it also a gift in polish and russian, meaning both a present and talent, a sting in french, and the initials of Die Apokalyptischen Reiter in german, if you're into heavy metal…
as a bisexual femme queer, i really enjoy the comics =]
Sometimes it's short for Darlene, or it can mean Daughters of the American Revolution.

Environmental Mold RemediationDecember 4th, 2012 | Posted by in Air Quality | Green Homes | Green Products | Health - (0 Comments)
East Coast or West Coast many of us across the country will have had to deal with the trauma of water damage in our homes before this year is over. Unfortunately, many of the problems caused by flooding or leaks do not disappear with the water – and one of the most pernicious of these is mold. Mold can create unpleasant odors, cause nasty stains, and in the worst cases mold can release toxins into the air and cause major health problems. If you are wondering how to prevent or eliminate mold in your home in a healthy and environmentally sound way, here are some of our recommendations.
+ Be sure to protect yourself while dealing with mold and always wear gloves and a mask. We recommend using natural latex gloves.
+ Make sure that all water has been removed and the space is completely dried out. Running a space heater and/or a dehumidifier in the affected area will speed drying.
+ Softer materials like carpeting or ceiling tiles that got wet will likely have to be disposed of because they are typically too difficult to clean thoroughly enough. Be sure to remember that the subfloor underneath your carpeting or other flooring may need to be addressed as well.
+ Remaining surfaces can be scrubbed with Moldex to kill and prevent mold. Surfaces can also be treated with Oxyboost to kill mold or mildew. Mix 2 to 3 ounces of Oxyboost into a gallon of hot water and scrub the area down, then rinse and repeat if necesary. Both Moldex and Oxyboost are free of dyes, bleach, and ammonia.
+ Once mold has been removed, dry the surfaces completely before repainting, or covering with flooring, insulation or drywall.
– If you are replacing the carpet or flooring in a basement, consider Tyroc Underlayment – it allows air-flow underneath flooring and is itself impervious to mold
– If you have to replace drywall, we recommend Mold Tough Drywall – it will help prevent mold from taking hold in the walls
+ After drying, walls should be primed with AFM Transitional Primer (AFM 80190) and painted with Moldex Paint or YOLO Colorhouse paints. (YOLO paint is mold and mildew resistant because it contains an antimicrobial ingredient – the same stuff used in dandruff shampoos)
+ Once a home has dried out, been cleaned thoroughly and refinished or repainted, we recommend using an Austin Air Purifer in the space on an ongoing basis. Austin Air units contain filters that are fine enough to trap lingering mold spores and other contaminants. Austin Air Purifiers are trusted by FEMA and the Red Cross.

Campus Construction Update: April 29, 2011
"It was incredibly exciting to finally get inside," environmental studies professor Jane Costlow remarked after an April 26 tour of Hedge Hall. Costlow, along with colleagues in ES, philosophy and religious studies, will work in the former residence.
"One of the most lasting impacts of the building may be the way it opens up lots of great new space for students outside of class," thanks to welcoming lounge and so-called commons spaces, Costlow said. "It hopefully will facilitate a greater sense of community within departments."
"And that first-floor classroom looking out onto both the quad and Alumni Walk," she added. "There's really nothing to say but wow!"
Click on the thumbnails to view a slide show.
"Wow" was the consensus among the dozen-plus faculty and staff on the hourlong tour, led by project manager Paul Farnsworth and clerk of the works Chris Streifel. Particularly impressive were the faculty offices, with their high ceilings and knockout views, and the lounges overlooking the Library Quad, complete with semi-circular window seats nestled in the turret.
The interior color palette, harmonizing with the exposed brick walls in a combination of creams, tans and sparing instances of a deep plum, also drew raves.
Campus Construction Update, meanwhile, was captivated by a botanical theme running through the interior appointments — leaves etched into the light-fixture covers, resin "reeds" embedded in transparent wall panels. The panels, made of a substance called Varia Ecoresin, contain at least 40 percent post-industrial recycled plastic, rendering them environmentally friendly in composition as well as appearance.
A day after the tour, workers began testing the heating system, which is tied into the campus steam network. It will be a weeks-long process, said Farnsworth, since most of the discrete spaces have their own thermostats and therefore their own valves, etc. The fire alarm system is also being
checked out.
The building's elevator has passed its inspection — which is all the excitement that device will see until Hedge actually opens for business this summer. General contractor Wright-Ryan Construction now has the elevator keys — but, in a situation resembling protective custody, is contractually enjoined from actually using it for fear of accidental damage.
"It's very difficult to replace the stainless steel panels and so forth, so you just don't want to chance it," Farnsworth explained.
Another milestone was more literal, as giant granite blocks were set in place as retaining walls-cum-benches outside the Alumni Walk entrance. Right now those are concealed by the construction fence, unfortunately, but other landscaping touches are more evident, such as the swaths of topsoil laid out on the Quad side.
Finally at Hedge, roofers have put the long-awaited slate atop the turret and are finishing up detail work. And from the Historic Quad you can see the frame in place on the main roof for the solar panel that will help heat water for the sinks.
Farnsworth was justifiably proud of the brickwork on the addition to Roger Williams Hall, the bulk of which was finished last week. The walls resemble those of the building's original section, notably the colors of the materials and the "fans" over the windows.
With the west side of the Bill's roof, facing Hedge, all covered with slate, the roofers have gone around to the dormer between the faux chimneys on the Library Quad side. They will soon start applying metal cladding, the gray pre-weathered ContinentalBronze used at Hedge, to the sides of the dormers and the blind expanse of the stair tower toward Alumni Gym.
Inside the Bill, "we're finally hanging drywall on the top floor," Farnsworth said. The drywall crew will also be able to finish on the ground floor, too, now that a large folding door has been installed between a classroom and the adjoining cultural kitchen.
Painters have applied the first color coat to the first and second floors, making way for the ceiling guys to lay their grids (and then for Campus Construction Update to make more flooded ceiling jokes). Mechanical technicians are installing heating and cooling pipes on those floors, too.
Finally at the Bill, Campus Construction Update was relieved to see that the historic brick porch is being rebuilt this week. "It's finally happening," said Farnsworth. Having announced several times last fall that that job was imminent, we have regained our credibility. The application for reinstatement in the Association of College and University Construction Writers is in the mail.
Chapel Notes: If you're out and about on campus at midmorning Wednesday, May 4, stand at the corner of College Street and Campus Avenue and watch the crane. Workers will be removing the first of the Chapel's four copper cupolas for restoration, reports project manager Greg Hogan.
Can we talk? Campus Construction Update welcomes your questions, reminiscences and comments about campus improvements. Please e-mail staff writer Doug Hubley at email@example.com, stating "Construction Update" in the subject line.

With the friends and family alpha of WotLK there have been a bunch of 'leaks' for new talents and spells. The exact same thing happened before TBC and has happened before a couple major content patches. It is possible that these aren't fake. It is also possible that I am Abraham Lincoln and Robocop 3 didn't suck. Its the internet, you can never know for sure. But the safe money is that I am not Abraham Lincoln, Robocop 3 sucked and these WotLK leaks are fake.
But speculation is fun and I have a perfectly good soap box so I am gonna preach.
Here are the supposedly new warrior talents: (http://wotlk.wikidot.com/)
- Titan's Grip – Allows you to equip two-handed axes, maces and swords in one hand, but you attack 28/26/24/22/20% slower then normal (fury)
- Strength of Arms – Increases your Strength and total health by 1/2/3/4/5%. (arms)
- Shockwave – "Sends a wave of force in front of the warrior, causing ${$m3/100*$AP} damage (based on attack power) and stunning all enemy targets within 10 yards in a frontal cone for 4 sec. This ability causes a high amount of threat." [20 rage, 45 sec cooldown] (prot)
- Sword and Board – When your Devastate and Shield Slam abilities deal damage they have a 2/4/6/8/10% chance of refreshing the cooldown of your Shield Slam ability and reducing its cost by 100% for 5 sec. (prot)
- Safeguard – ,"Reduces damage taken by the target of your Intervene ability by 20/40/60% for 6 sec. In addition, your Charge, Intercept and Intervene abilities have a 33%/66%/100% chance to remove all movement impairing effects when used." (prot)
- Trauma – "Your normal melee critical strikes increase the effectiveness of Bleed effects on the target by 15/30% for 15 sec."
- _Bladestorm – Instantly Whirlwind all nearby targets and for the next 4.5 sec you will perform a whirlwind attack every 1.5 seconds. While under the effects of Bladestorm, you can move but cannot perform any other attacks or abilities but you do not feel pity or remorse or fear and you cannot be stopped unless killed. [25 rage, cooldown: 90 sec] (arms)
- Stalwart Protector – You gain 1/2 rage every time you parry or dodge an attack.
- Furious Resolve – Reduces threat caused by attacks in Battle and Berserker Stance by 4/7/10% and increases your total Stamina by 1/3/5%. (fury)
- Bull Rush – Increases the duration of the Stun effect of your Charge and Intercept abilities by .4/.7/1 seconds. (arms)
- Unrelenting Assault – Reduces the cooldown of your Overpower and Revenge abilities by 1/2/3 seconds. (arms)
- Bloodsurge – Your Bloodthirst critical hits have a 33/66/100% chance of reducing the swing time of your next Slam by 100% for 5 sec. (fury)
- Critical Block – Your successful blocks have a 10/20/30% chance to block double the normal amount. (prot)
- Shield Break (Level 75, 15 rage, 1m cooldown) – Break down the enemy's defenses, disarming any shield they have equipped or reducing the chance the enemy will block by 3% for 10 sec.
I am pretty sure that Titan's Grip was supposed to be a TBC talent, it looks really familiar. That said, if this turns out to be real it could be pretty cool. It seems to me that you would probably get the most bang for your buck putting just one talent point in there and spending the other 4 elsewhere. I have never been accused of being good at dps theorycraft but 8% attack speed increase doesn't seem all that great and you could probably get a better bonus somewhere else.
The strength increase from Strength of Arms seems believable but the health increase seems fishy to me considering that there was a blue post specifically saying that there won't be a huge HP bump going from TBC to WotLK like there was when we went from Vanilla to TBC.
Shockwave looks like a prot pvp talent and therefore, quite stupid. I guarantee that all bosses would be immune to the stun so all you are getting is a another threat move on a 45 second cooldown. Color me unimpressed. Which I think is something close to chartreuse.
Sword and Board could be great. But if Blizzard keeps the Sunwell trend going of really hard hitting bosses and tanks with lowish levels of avoidance, then the only thing that restrains threat generation is the global cooldown, not rage generation so that part of the talent would essentially be wasted. Resetting the CD of Shield Slam would be nice except on similar talents like Preparation for rogues, Readiness for hunters and Cold Snap for mages, the wording is different, Blizzard usually says that the cooldowns will be 'immediately finished' not 'refreshed'.
Safeguard looks like another prot pvp talent. Yeah…
Trauma is like Super Improved Rend. Seriously, I supposed it could be a nice boost to rogue damage. I almost said it would be a nice boost to feral dps but I couldn't do it with a straight face. Feral dps… lol.
Bladestorm is in the arms tree which means it is probably supposed to be a pvp talent. I suppose its a nice damage burst, but since you can't do anything else while Bladestorming, you might as well think of it like a 4.5 second cast time spell. You know how often people use 4.5 second casts in pvp? Zero. None. It never happens. This spell is stupid.
Stalwart Protector would be awesome. Many tanks, myself included, have been asking for something like this for a really long time. The single biggest problem with gearing for avoidance is rage starvation.
Furious Resolve's threat component is something Blizzard already did like 3 patches ago. And the stamina increase seems dubious for the reason I mentioned earlier.
Bull Rush would be good for pvp. Not knock your socks of and steal your wallet good, but desirable nonetheless.
The reduction of the revenge cooldown would be nice for tanking, but since the talent is supposed to be deep in the arms tree, its the overpower component that would be important. The only time you EVER would want or need a reduced cooldown on overpower is when fighting a rogue with evasion up. So here we have a tier 9 talent that is really only usable it the rarest of situations.
Bloodsurge is almost stupider than the prot pvp talents. Everyone complains that Blizzard doesn't understand X class because of Y some talent or mechanic but I think deep down everyone knows that Blizzard knows what they are doing. Doing DPS as a Slam warrior is probably one of the harder DPS roles in the game. I would guess its probably up there managing shot rotations on a hunter. I expect that anyone who has never played a warrior, and a 2h Slam warrior at that, would have no concept of how Slam mechanics work and would therefore think Bloodsurge would be a good idea. I may be naive but I have to think that someone somewhere at Blizzard knows enough about warriors to see how dumb this talent would be. Then again, we do have Improved Rend…
Critical Block has potential to be really nice. If it were something like "Your successful blocks have a 10/20/30% chance to double your block value for 2/4/6 seconds" Then it would be really nice since you would great some nice spike threat from monster shield slams. But with the way it currently exists, its just a mediocre mitigation talent.
Shield Break looks like Bull Rush to me. Would be kinda nice for pvp but far from outstanding.
And that's my quick review of fake talents. I only did a cursory review of the other classes and focused on the warrior stuff. My conclusion is that whoever wrote these has a bit of an idea of what warriors like/want but not a very firm grasp on warrior mechanics.

Then you demonstrate up for the date and it is a disaster.
Jeannie has bot writing for HubPages for overheen 7 years. She covers a broad multiplicity of topics&mdash,anything from hamsters to office work.
When There Just Isn't a Connection
Bad dates can toebijten to anyone at anytime. You think you are doing well. You've got a date set up with a fresh person. You are smelling your best and you are wearing your fresh uitrusting from Old Navy. Everything seems to be falling into place. Then you vertoning up for the date and it is a disaster. You are sitting across from a person you have absolutely no rente ter everzwijn observing again. My friend, you are on an awkward date and you need to escape.
Thesis things can toebijten when wij least expect it. An awkward date can occur for a number of reasons. Sometimes a friend sets you up on a date, and your friend obviously has no clue about your taste ter dates. Sometimes you meet someone online, but don't talk enough online or overheen the phone to truly see if there is going to be a auténtico rente. Every now and then, a person who wasgoed totally appealing on the phone turns out to be a dud te person. Sometimes you just have no connection with the person sitting across from you.
Albeit bad dates toebijten to everyone, it can be a pretty scary practice when you are te the middle of one. Unless you are dating a total creep or someone without any social abilities, your date most likely feels the same way. Don't fright! You won't be on this date for the surplus of your life. There are some polite ways to end any awkward date.
Very first Dates Should Be Plain
The very first step to exiting an awkward date with some dignity is programma a ordinary very first date. I know you might think you have efectivo chemistry with a person just by talking on the phone, but you can't know that for sure. My very first chunk of advice to you is do not project a truly elaborate date for the very first date. Dinner and a movie can be nice if you've known someone a while, but if this is a vensterluik date or an online date, that is just too much.
It is much firmer to leave the date if you have a loterijlot planned. If you attempt to be polite and keep the date going, it is just going be hours of misery if you've planned a long date. Keep it ordinary and meet up for coffee or just a drink at a regional restaurant. If everything is going well, then the two of you can determine if you'd both like to get refrigerio or dinner or go mountain climbing or whatever other crazy activity you can think of.
Come Up With An Excuse To Leave
If you've given your date a chance (about an hour), but there is absolutely no chemisty at all, it might be time to come up with an excuse to leave. If you are dating someone that is a total masturbate, you don't even have to wait an hour. For example, if he has bot playing with his cell phone more than he has even talked to you, it is OK to end this one early.
A good excuse is something that sounds logical. For example, did you just get a bocadillo with your coffee? Could you possibly have an upset belly? Sure, that is an embarrassing excuse, but hey, no one wants to date a person that might begin vomiting at any uur. Perhaps there is an appointment you conveniently recall while on the date. Just excuse yourself and say you are sorry to leave. It is spil effortless spil that.
For mij, I personally disagree with making up a lie to get out of a date, but that is more polite than just ditching a date. I had a date recently with a boy I absolutely couldn't stand within about 20 minutes. Obviously he felt the same way about mij since he pretended to get a call, walked away from the table, and simply never came back. That is NOT a polite way to end an awkward date. I'd said nothing wrong at all. How rude! I wish online dating sites talent users the option of writing reviews for other users. This stud would totally get a thumbs down.
Ter that screenplay, an effortless and polite way he could have turned that around wasgoed to take his fake phone call, walk around the corner for a bit, and then terugwedstrijd to say, "I am so sorry. An emergency came up. I need to leave." It would have bot fine with both of us and that would have bot a polite way to leave our enormously awkward date.
The Fair Treatment
Oh wait, are wij going to talk about being fair on a date? No way! What a crazy idea. But yeah, there are ways to part on good terms from an awkward date. You can also be totally fair at the same time. Excellent!
I recently went on a date with a dude and it wasgoed evident there wasgoed no positivo connection inbetween us. He wasgoed ideally nice and I'd like to think I wasgoed spil charming spil always, but wij had little ter common. After about an hour of drinking coffee together, he told mij he had errands to run. I also agreed I had errands to run, too. He then said, "It wasgoed nice meeting you. Have a nice day." I told him basically the same thing and then wij walked separate ways. What a polite way to end a date!
You see, there wasgoed no BS when parting ways at the end of this date. Neither of us talent that fake line, "I will talk to you straks," or "I will call you sometime." Both of us knew this wasgoed not going to toebijten. Wij both ended it on a polite note knowing wij would never see each other again. It wasgoed a fine ending to a not so fine date.
How to End It When One Party is Interested
The most awkward dates are the uneven dates. By uneven, I mean one party is geniunely interested te the other party, yet the other party is thinking about how to escape the date. Ter my opinion, thesis are the worst dates because being totally fair is going to be difficult.
I will give you an example. I went out on a date with a man merienda and I wasgoed waiting for the crickets to embark chirping because I wasgoed so bored. He, on the other palm, ended the date with, "Would you like to go out again?" Well, there wasgoed nothing wrong with him, so I said, "Sure," but zometeen on realized that wasgoed just not true. He wasgoed such a nice fellow, but I could not stand the thought of going out with him again.
What I should have said wasgoed, "I will get back to you," or even bot so bold to say, "You are truly nice, but I don't think it would work out with us." Obviously, the last line is mortifiying to say to someone's face. Spil fair spil I am ter most situations, I would still most likely say, "I will let you know. send mij a message," when waterput on the spot like that. Te the end, I sent him a message telling I appreciated the date, but did not feel wij had enough te common to go out again. I felt bad, but it is better than leading someone on.
Awkward Dates are a Learning Practice
Even if awkward dates are painful and no one wants to practice them, to some degree, they are a learning practice. Each time I suffer through an awkward date, I learn something fresh about social etiquette. Furthermore, I learn fresh strategies to avoid awkward dates ter the future. I've learned a lotsbestemming about online dating and human nature recently. Plus, I've gotten a lotsbestemming of material for writing articles, blogs, and hubs – that is a total premie!
The most significant thing to recall is do not walk out just because the date is awkward. Coming up with a lame excuse to leave is better than just being rude. Furthermore, don't just not display up for a date simply because you get cold feet, too. I've sat alone waiting for dates that just never displayed up, it is a pitiful practice and a waste of my time. Just reminisce, everyone gets jumpy and everyone sits through an awkward practice a time or two. It will end soon enough and then you can get back to the surplus of your life.

Kaituna Track
Enjoy either a easy 2 hour return walk or for the more adventurous 10 hour hike through native New Zealand forests
The Kaituna track in the Kahurangi National park and 15kms south of Collingwood links the Aorere Valley with the West Coast of Golden Bay.
The track begins at the popular bush café , The Naked Possum which is a welcomed stop after your walk.
The most popular part of the track is an easy 2 hour return walk to the Kaituna Forks following the original pack horse track to the Kaituna goldfields where you see old gold mining workings.
The native forest is beautiful and lush with magnificent specimens of Southern Rata, Rimu and Pukatea with a understory of ferns , palms and beech.
The gradient of the track is gentle and there are lovely views of the river valley and forest as you go.
At the forks if the day is warm there is a great spot to jump in and cool off !
For the more adventurous and experienced the track then climbs steeply and you follow a 'route' for another 7-8 hours to come out at Knuckle Hill , Westhaven Inlet.
It's a great short walk for all ages, and immediately you feel like you're in the middle of dense NZ native forest without going very far.
Access to the river is also easy at a couple of places.
Its especially vibrant in late December when the southern rata is in bloom.
This popular walk has been reviewed by independent travellers on Rankers. Read what others have to say about the Kaituna Track.

3 top South Island slopes for snow
The South Island is one of the world's best snow destinations. Read on to find out about the best slopes in the South Island for skiing and snowboarding.
The South Island of New Zealand is known for a lot of things: the scenery, the friendly folks, the thrilling adventure activities and the awesome snow. There are a lot of world-class ski slopes in the South Island, which makes it a great place to visit for your next ski holiday.
Here are three of the six slopes we visit on our 7 Day South Island Snow Safari here at Haka Tours:
Mt Hutt
Mt Hutt is one of New Zealand's largest ski fields and a local favourite. It is said that if you follow the locals to their favourite spots, that you will find the best of the best. Mt Hutt is the skiing location of choice for Christchurch residents, and that is no accident.
Mt Hutt is located high in the Southern Alps, and it receives some of the driest and lightest powder in the whole of Australasia. It's a large slope (365 skiable hectares) and with its awesome terrain and lessons, this is a great slope for both beginners and seasoned powder hounds alike.
Ohau is a mountain that prides itself on catering from skiers of all abilities and ages. It has snow ratings of 20% beginner, 50% intermediate and 30% for advanced skiers. This variation makes it great for mixed groups and lets everyone enjoy the slopes.
The highest peak is 1,924 metres and there is a fun 400 metre vertical fall via 'The Boulevard' to the base of the mountain. It is a safe, wide ride for beginners that is just adventurous enough to get the blood pumping. Intermediates have plenty of choice with the zig-zag "Luge" and expert skiers will have their hands fall with the 'Escalator' and the 'High Traverse'.
Treble Cone
The one word that comes to mind when describing Treble Cone, is jaw-dropping. It is often referenced as one of the most beautiful scenic resorts in the world, sitting in the heart of the Southern Alps. It looks down across the charming lakeside town, Wanaka.
Treble Cone is the largest ski slope in the South Island. It is spread out over three large basins, and it has trails that are suitable for all abilities and ages. Their quad chairlift is the fastest in New Zealand, meaning you can pack in more runs per day than anywhere else in the country. The saddle quad chairlift offers the highest lift-accessed terrain and vertical drop in the whole of the South Island!
Every year, thousands of tourists worldwide make a trip to New Zealand to visit the slopes. Looking at these fields, it is no wonder. Fantastic snow, great runs and beautiful scenery makes New Zealand one of the leading skiing locations in the world.

"The pieces are inspired by wardrobe basics, but there are conscious mistakes, such as the hemline or waistband of a jacket being seven sizes smaller than the actual garment. The seams are also buttoned, so you have to get into and out of the garment. In a way, the collection is actually then both size-free and genderless."

|MLBPA News Release
NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Tony Clark today issued the following statement regarding the experimental rule governing home plate collisions:
"There is nothing more sacred in the game than home plate, and baserunners want to do all they can to score a run while catchers want to do their best to defend the plate -- in many cases at all costs. Therefore, as one might imagine, the issue of home plate collisions is one that generates spirited debate among the players. Because of this, coming up with a rule change that allows both the runner and catcher a fair and equal opportunity to score and defend was our mandate.
"We believe the new experimental rule allows for the play at the plate to retain its place as one of the most exciting plays in the game, while providing an increased level of protection to both the runner and the catcher. We will monitor the rule closely this season before discussing with the Commissioner's Office whether the rule should become permanent.
"During these negotiations, one thing became very apparent. Serious discussions over potential rule changes must include the input and feedback from those with the best vantage point: the players. With that in mind, I would like to thank those players involved in helping us navigate through this process."

We are called to repent swiftly and renew our minds daily. To repent means to turn around and go in a different and more righteous direction. It takes a renewed mind to make the choice to turn and to sustain the choice to move in the better direction for life. But how many times do we have to turn around and start again? How many times must we change? It seems that the whole journey is about constantly letting go and developing an ongoing willingness to turn around yet one more time, and move toward the ways of our God.
How swiftly do you repent and allow for a course correction in life?
Are you a constant learner and are you determined to align your mind with the mind of God?
What areas in your life today do you need to repent or turn away from? Will you choose this today?

Mitt tries to explain Medicare stance
Mitt Romney attempted on Thursday to boil down his Medicare plan to a simple explanation: "No change" and "Solvent."
Those were the words he scrawled on a whiteboard at a last-minute news conference in Greer, S.C. this afternoon as he attempted to address questions about whether his plan is identical to that of Paul Ryan's. Romney chose Ryan as his running mate last weekend, and the Wisconsin lawmaker is best known for a budget-slashing effort that would convert Medicare into a voucher program for some future seniors.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan hearts the charts)
"I know there's an effort by some people to try and bring as much confusion to the topic of Medicare as possible," Romney said. "But I want to bring as much clarity as possible, so I've prepared a small chart here, which will describe differences in our respective plans for Medicare."
But after the 10-minute and 11-second news conference, Romney shed no new light on how he would overhaul the 47-year-old federal health care program for senior citizens and how (or if) his program differs from that of his running mate's much-maligned proposal that is part of an effort to slash the federal budget deficit.
Asked afterward to provide as much detail and specifics as possible about Romney's Medicare plan, his campaign provided a link to a one-page website with a 907-word explanation (shorter than the length of this article) that included an introduction, seven key elements and a frequently asked questions section. It also forwarded a speech Romney gave on fiscal policy in November.
Ryan's plan keeps the $700 billion cut to the Medicare trust fund that Romney has said recently that he opposes. Ryan also would convert Medicare into a voucher-like program in 2023, while Romney doesn't provide a date. While Romney's program would be means tested, giving more money to those who are poorer, Ryan's plan includes a proposal to allow more government assistance to those who get sicker.
Finally, Ryan's plan requires that private insurance companies have a certain financial obligation to their customers, while Romney's plan would offer recipients similar services as they receive under Medicare, a distinction that could allow insurance companies under Ryan's plan to offer gym memberships in place of medical procedures.
Ryan's plan also provides more details on the voucher, or "premium assistance" process, outlining in more depth what type of insurance would be provided and how the vouchers would be calculated.
Since picking Ryan as his running mate, Romney has tried to put distance between his plan and the controversial proposal of the Wisconsin congressman.
"My plan for Medicare is very similar to his plan for Medicare," Romney said Monday at a news conference in Miami.
But he couldn't — or wouldn't — distinguish them specifically.
"We haven't gone through piece by piece and said, 'Oh here's a place where there's a difference,'" Romney said. "I can't imagine any two people even in the same party who have exactly the same positions on all issues."
Romney hasn't always put that much space between his own proposal and Ryan's.
"As President, Mitt Romney Would Sign The Ryan Plan," a Romney news release announced in December 2011.
"On health care, Romney responded 'yes' when asked if he would sign the plan written by Rep. Paul Ryan that would restructure Medicare if it reached his desk as President, but quickly added that he would be offering his own plan," the campaign was quoted as saying in a June 6, 2011 ABC News article.
The bulk of Romney's discussion on Medicare has been focused on casting President Barack Obama as an enemy of the program without delving into too much detail of his own.

Input Devices Supported : Dual Joystick Singular Control
"Dual-joystick" refers to the practice of using both joysticks (or a flight yoke or driving wheel with "throttle controls") to control a single player. This practice was popular with flight simulators before the advent of common "flightsticks". The most common use of two sticks is when one stick is used for the yoke and the other stick is used for the throttle, although the use of dual sticks for ambidexterous control has extended to video games such as Robotron.
Dual Joystick Singular Control is part of the Input Devices Supported category. Input devices supported by games in order to enhance gameplay or offer alternate way of controls, but are not necessary in order to fully play the game.
You are currently viewing games for DOS that are marked as Input Devices Supported : Dual Joystick Singular Control. Games for other platforms are also tracked by this attribute. You can restrict the list of games below to any of the following platforms:

Telling Stories; the story11/20/2013
I have been working on this piece (detail above) called Telling Stories. The challenge I set for myself was to go bigger. Could I expand what I do onto a larger canvas? 30″ is about the largest I can fit in my limited space. I have to say it was a satisfying experience and I now long to go even larger. Maybe someday when space lends itself.
The title comes from sitting in a number of critiques and workshops where my fellow artists see narrative, seemingly in every piece. I do not derive my connection to art this way, especially not my own. There is always a journey through my pieces from beginning to end but it is not a story. I guess it is about process, composition, materials and technique. The final work offers up various clues to items that tease the viewer to construct their own story. I want my work to connect for people through their own experience not mine. If that means there is a story in it, so be it.

For information on what kinds of items we scan using this machine, please see Flatbed scanning.
- Make sure scanner is turned on.
- Open Epson Scan software.
- Check default settings.
- If you are unsure of the proper naming convention for the project you are working on, check the name in the Tracking Filenames spreadsheet located in the Organization folder on the Shared Drive. For more information on file naming conventions, see File naming schemes.
- Before beginning scanning, set up a folder where the scans will be saved. On the Local (C:) Drive on your computer, chose the Digital Programs folder. From here you can make a new folder to save your scans.
- To begin the scanning process, place the document on the scanner and close the lid. Click the preview button in the Epson Scan software.
- When the preview has completed, use the marquee tool in the preview area to choose only the portions of the scanner the document covers with a bit of space on each side. The more space to be scanned, the longer the scan will take, so this step helps us to make the most efficient use of our time.
- When you have chosen the area to be scanned, click the Scan button in the Epson Scan software.
- Before the scan begins, a window will pop up to confirm file save settings.
- Where to save scans: Choose "other" and browse for the folder you have already created on the C: drive.
- Filenames: Set prefix and start number. Note that the "start number" field is limited to 3 digits, so you will have to consider this when setting the prefix. For example, the prefix would need to be u0003_0000753_0000004_0 and the start number would be 001, so when put together, the filename would appear as u0003_0000753_0000004_0001.
- Image format: Should be set to TIFF.
- When these settings are correct, click OK.
- Once the scan is completed, it will open automatically. Drag the image into PhotoShop for optimization. Previously created PhotoShop actions are used in optimization. More information about actions can be found.
- Once optimization has been completed, the scan will be saved.
Because scanning time on the flatbed scanners can run anywhere from 3 to 6 minutes per scan, it is ideal that you optimize one scan while another is scanning. This provides for the most efficient use of time.
