Policies, Forms and Handbooks
Welcome to The School of Nursing!
Our mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate education to meet the changing health care needs of a global society.
Why Choose Nursing as a Career?
The ANA (American Nurses Assoication) defines nursing as:
"Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and population."
Nurses are involved with all aspects of a patient's care, from providing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures to providing comfort to patient's and their families.
If you want your life work to make a difference in the lives of others, nursing can be an excellent career for you!
Recent Events and News
School of Nursing to move to the new Health Sciences Complex at The Medical Center August 2013
The Medical Center announced its plan to construct a new 73,471-square-foot, three-story facility on the hospital's campus to house the university's nursing and physical therapy programs. The project is estimated to be completed by the 2013 fall semester at WKU.
BSN Program has more openings than ever before:
The School of Nursing is pleased to announce that we have doubled the number of seats available in the BSN program. A maximum of 80 new students will be accepted each semester starting Fall 2012. This means that more qualified students will be able to reach their dreams of becoming an RN at WKU, without having to wait for an opening.
Graduate Program News:
Nurse Practitioner Students will be obtaining more scholarships: Starting Fall 2012 students in the WKU nurse practitioner program will be benefiting from the new HRSA grant obtained by WKU nursing faculty. Over $620,000 in funding will be available over the next two years for students in the nurse practitioner programs.
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program
The post-masters DNP program admitted its first class Fall of 2011 for students who currently are at the Master's level or above. The BSN to DNP program will admitt the first group starting Fall 2013. Applications are being accepted now for people who have BSN degrees and want to be part of the first cohort of students in the WKU BSN-DNP program. All students graduating from the BSN-DNP program will be qualified to take the family nurse practitioner certification exam and be licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).
RN-BSN News
Sixteen students enrolled in WKU's on-line RN to BSN program participated in a health fair organized by four nursing faculty members. The health fair took place at the UPS center in Bowling Green on March 15th . Forty-six employees visited various health promotion displays including arthritis, high blood pressure, sun safety, diabetes, healthy back practices, hand washing, healthy heart, and cholesterol/diet/BMI.
The curriculum is designed to build on the education registered nurses (RNs) received in their AD program. Both full-time and part-time options are available. The RN to BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. For more information please visit http://www.wku.edu/cohort/rn-to-bsn/ or call 270-745-2391.
Recent Faculty Publications
Dr. Mary Bennett, Dr M. Laurie Branstetter, Dr Melinda Joyce and Dr Cherie Howk published an article in the February 2012 Journal for Nurse Practitioners.

A barricaded gunman and three people were found dead in an Aurora, Colorado, home after police exchanged fire with the gunman to end a standoff Saturday, authorities said.
A woman earlier escaped uninjured from the home and told police she saw three apparently lifeless people inside, authorities said. She said the man was firing shots inside the residence before 3 a.m., police said.
During a subsequent standoff, the gunman behaved "very irrationally," hung up the phone on negotiators, and ignored bullhorn commands to exit the premises, authorities said. Tear gas did not faze him, they added.
"The male was given multiple commands to come out of the house both on the phone and from a bullhorn outside. He did not comply," Sgt. Cassidee Carlson said in a statement.
Five hours into the incident, a SWAT team in an armored vehicle broke out a house window, and the gunman fired upon the vehicle, without injury to the officers, police said.
Police didn't return fire at the time.
An hour later, the gunman fired upon officers from a second-floor window, but this time, police returned fire, striking the suspect, authorities said.
No officers were injured.
Police entered the residence and found the gunman dead in the upstairs bedroom, authorities said.
Police also found two men and a woman -- all deceased -- inside the home, authorities said. "We do believe that they all knew each other, possibly related. It's unclear if they all lived at the home or what the status of that is," Carlson told reporters.

In my household, a baby boy is due, and circumcision discussions abound.
Naturally, we have really dug into the so called "pros and cons".
After much research in this area, I have some new perspective that actually surprised me a little when I compare my new understanding to what I thought I knew.
I am always open to hearing both sides of the coin on PaleoHacks.
Do you think circumcision is good? Is it warranted for health reasons? Is it necessary? Or shall we let boys remain in their natural design and leave them as they are when they enter the world?

As a Government customer, we receive sites to block from numerous dispirate sources. This requires a lot of manual labor to merge and then dedupe with the websense lists. We also have lists of sites that are updated multiple times a day. Having an API that allows us to write scripts to dynamically add these URLs to blocked lists is very important to us, and I think other users of your product. Ideally we see this as a SOAP API so we could add URI's either individually or in bulk with a SOAP response showing us which ones were or were not successful. This allows for other technologies we use that detect zero-day malware to automatically block before other users become infected. If a SOAP interface is not possible, a command line interface would at least allow us to accomplish the same goal. Please consider this or we will have to strongly revisit whether this is the right solution for us going forward. Thanks!
I have to ask... if you're going through all of this why do you use Websense? Most customers purchase Websense so that they do NOT need to do any of what you describe on their own... so why reinvent the wheel? If they're only malicious URLs you're worried about then I would hope Websense is just as quick in finding / blocking them too with a RTU as you are... if not then that's a different issue. I'd recommend using the Site Lookup Tool for getting those kind of sites recategorized... normally they're pretty quick about turnaround. Otherwise you're talking about a recategorized list that's going to quickly rival the size of Websense's own master database and there's no way to easily go back and remove recategorizations that aren't needed anymore.
It just seems odd to ask for all this functionality so you can do the product's job for it.
Hi Vinh,
Thank you for inquiring about a new feature in Websense Web Security. Your request has been entered into our Feature Request tracking system, and our Product Management team will review it within the next 30 days. If you need a response sooner, we recommend that you open a case with Technical Support. When the request is reviewed, the product manager will decide whether to accept this for future consideration or ask for more information. Please note that Websense receives a high volume of feature requests, and as such Websense cannot include all of these requests in the next product release. That said, the product team is constantly revisiting the list of requests to determine the features that have been most frequently requested, so that the highest priority features are addressed.
We look forward to your continued participation in the Websense community and welcome your active involvement in our product direction.
Thank you.
Best regards
I think you have an oversimplified view of at least some of your customer's needs. By your line of thinking, websense wouldn't need any custom categories at all and we could simply rely solely on Websense in-house DB to do all the work. The fact is that some sources of sites to be blocked are not open to the general public. We also have automated tools (honeypots, zero-day malware detection) that will detect certain activity automatically. We have a database (and method) which keeps track of when we add a site to block into websense, and then 90 days later (unless there is additional activity) is removed. These lists are not in replacement of the websense database, but rather in addition to (added protection against specific threats).
Another example of this would be a workstation that downloads malware from a zero-day site, our malware detector adds it to a database list until someone can manually add it to websense to block. Instead, if an API was available, we could easily have it automatically block that URL so that the rest of our enterprise does not also download it.
While I'm sure several of your customers are perfectly happy with only counting on Websense's database, our network requires more due diligence. I've also noticed that I've not been the only one to ask of a similar feature in the forums area.
In general, we believe websense is a great tool, but this lack in functionality (available in some competitors' products) along with the inability to easily search on a specific URL (not just a domain) causes a lot of extra work for larger enterprises.
Thanks for your time.
Hi Vinh -- I just want to make it clear that I am NOT an employee of Websense; I am a customer just like you. I was just curious to learn more about where your request was coming from.
You raise good points about allowing integration with other security products to help Websense respond quicker to new threats. One thing I'd recommend adding to this request then is the ability to clean out any URLs whose recategorized category is the same as it shows in the Master Database. For example I would assume over time that Websense's own database would catch up to your zero day modifications, so this would help keep your recategorized list down to a managable size, otherwise something like this would cause it to grow exponentially and eventually I fear you'd have performance issues. I've done this manually myself in the past and it's not fun.
Glitch:I have to ask... if you're going through all of this why do you use Websense? Most customers purchase Websense so that they do NOT need to do any of what you describe on their own
There are certainly some customers who come in and say "I just need a checkbox that says I have a web filter. I don't want to have to touch it". But they're also the customers who buy whatever is cheapest and easiest, which isn't usually Websense. That said, why would someone want to do this?
Glitch:It just seems odd to ask for all this functionality so you can do the product's job for it.
With all due respect, it's clear you have a very different view of the scope of problems this product solves than those of us with broader experience in the space.
kjs3, you could have read the entire thread before replying. Vinh responded to my questions a year ago and I did not disagree with the points he brought up. You're re-arguing an old thread that came to an agreement long ago.
I did read it all. While I didn't note it was a year old, I did note a continued reductionist understanding of the use cases where one would want to do this. But fair enough...agreement reached.

Minimalistic DVD rack in an Expedit
Materials: NEGLINGE 2x, EXPEDIT (doesn't matter which one), plank
Description: I wanted to use as little space of my Expedit as possible to store my DVD's. I don't have that much DVD's, but I wanted to be able to see which ones I have. Instead of just putting a second row in front of the others.
I made myself a plank of 33 cm x 15 cm and glued two Neglingle candlelights beneath it; and ta-da, I got myself a nice DVD storage.
I realize it's not exactly an outstanding hack, but hey, it's my first. :)

Nice idea. I used a leftover cardboard box, roughly cut it to the correct width, taped a slightly higher piece of cardboard to the back of it so the DVDs don't fall off. 3 minute hack. I still can't believe Ikea dropped the DVD inserts for the Expedit shelves.

But then my wife had a conversation with a friend yesterday who has decided to homeschool her kids through elementary school, and my wife's thinking completely switched. She now wants to give homeschooling a try, at least through third grade and with the potential to enroll our kids part time in art and PE classes in a public school. I never thought I would say this, but hearing her rationale for this decision along with a good curriculum plan has me near convinced. It doesn't hurt that she has a decade of teaching experience.
I would like some feedback on this idea from anyone who has made similar decisions either way. Any good or bad experiences with homeschooling?

M. Leary, on 18 January 2012 - 10:07 AM, said:
I think this is key. As someone whose family and career are invested in education, I must say I've always bristled at the "anyone can teach" mentality behind a lot of homeschoolers. People who would never consider doing a lot of other things themselves without the necessary skills sometimes jump into the whole homeschool thing without considering what skills and resources are helpful.
That said, this doesn't seem to be the issue in this case. Same thing with my wife and I. She's a trained teacher. The decision of where to school our child is more open to us than most.

By the time I was in middle school, both of my parents were working, so I did most of my work on my own. That probably isn't the best plan for some people, but it helped me to learn how to manage my time and figure out things on my own. I'm also the kind of person who likes doing things on my own; if your kids are really social, homeschooling might not be the best option.

If I may, here are a couple of contrasting lists. They're personal, but perhaps they'll be helpful since they come from a product of the process:
- I was able to study at my own pace--which resulted in me graduating a little earlier than most kids my age.
- The study was mostly self-directed, which meant I could follow my interests into whatever rabbit-warren I desired. This can be a bad thing--I'm pretty well-grounded in certain areas of literary study, but not so much in the hard sciences--but it can also be an exceedingly good thing. (Also: everything is school. Including trips--we once went to South Dakota and prepared by researching the history of every single state through which we would pass).
- I seem to have skipped over cliquishness and distrust of adults during my teen years. Perhaps that's not entirely the result of my education, but I like to think that being homeschooled played no small part in it.
- No bullies. Since I was a bookish kid, that was probably a good thing.
- Socialization. I know, I know--there's homeschooling groups and all that. My family have never been joiners. As a result, I got all my socialization from my church--which is to say, mostly white (or white-passing) lower-middle class kids. I think I could have benefited from some diversity.
- Self-absorption. Related to the above. "Know Thyself" is kind of difficult when there's no-one to contrast oneself with.
- It's probably my milieu, but there are an awful lot of self-righteous homeschoolers, and I'm afraid some of this rubbed off on me, even with my family's non-joiner status.
- This is a bizarre one, but I seem to have missed out on all the social markers that most of my peers take for granted. Prom? Nope (and I know that some homeschool groups have proms--but not us). Grades? To this day I can't figure out how old someone was in the "tenth grade." Moving to a new school and having to make new friends? I know it's painful, but only in theory since I never experienced it until college. Those are all little things, but I do feel like I missed out.
So yeah. My experience was mostly positive, as was that of [most of] the other homeschoolers I knew. The difficulty is that--since it's, well, home schooling--it's kind of hard to generalize.
EDIT: Oddly enough, this video has been circulating among my home-schooled friends on Facebook. I think it actually demonstrates most of the points on both of my lists above--though perhaps a bit unintentionally on the "con" side.

Joel C, on 18 January 2012 - 12:10 PM, said:
Three things:
1. The social issue. My daughter is fairly introverted, and I have always thought homeschooling would exacerbate that.
2. The diversity issue. How will she become aware of cultural and economic diversity, and develop the skills to interface with social differences and disparities?
3. The personal development issue. In a larger group setting she would encounter and experience the kind of broader decision-making skills she will need as an adolescent and adult.
Posted 18 January 2012 - 02:46 PM
Second is the diversity issue. My experience (and I recognize it's limited), is that homeschool groups tend to be made up of white, middle to upper middle class families. Far be it from me to look down on those people . . . I am one! But my wife and I grew up in an extremely diverse environment (we were the minority in HS), and that was a good and formative experience for us. We'd like our kids to have something approaching that experience as well. Third is the social issue. My kids are very social. I cannot imagine my first grader watching his neighbors get on the bus every morning (it stops in front of our house) and then have to be without that interaction all day.
We do have very few concerns about our local schools or district, either educationally or for other reasons like safety. That doesn't mean we agree with every choice--there's no way Kindergarten needed to be full day--but on the whole we have been pleased with the way they've helped our son to grow and develop. We also tend to think of our home as a place of learning--it's filled with books, we're constantly quizzing each other on this or that, and we're exploring different parts of our area or country with an educational bent. I want to create an environment here that honors and encourages learning. In that sense, maybe we are homeschooling!
Posted 18 January 2012 - 02:57 PM
But I can't shake the feeling that many (although, to be fair, this DOES NOT seem to be the case with most of you who were homeschooled) Christian homeschoolers are motivated primarily from fear and a desire to keep their children apart and "unsullied" from the world. I have the same misgivings about many (again, NOT all) private Christian schools.

That's a fair assumption, particularly regarding the...more vocal Christian advocates of homeschooling. I've encountered everything from "mildly protective" to "flat-out weird"--and if you look at the best-selling textbooks, I think you'll find that they tend to come from A Beka and Bob Jones, both of which are most likely to appeal to protectionists.
Which, of course, says very little about any of the homeschoolers--former students or parents--posting here, but it does give a sense of the general environment.

Recently, my in-laws came to visit, and I was blind-sided one night to sit down next to my wife and mother-in-law, who were, it turned out, discussing home-schooling. Sarah turned toward me and said she was thinking again about doing it, but she thought it might be good to do it starting after the kids were out of elementary school. This is not how most home-schoolers I've known pursue home schooling. They usually home school earlier in the child's life. If they elect to send the kids elsewhere for schooling, they do so later in life.
I pressed as to why Sarah had experienced this change of heart, and my mother-in-law -- a wonderful, Godly woman I might add, although more Fundamentalist in her beliefs -- said that the girls might suffer socially in junior high. That's when the ostracizing seriously kicks in, she said (she's nearly 80 years old, which doesn't make her wrong). My wife, who had a tough junior-high experience at private school, looked stricken at the thought of our kids experiencing what she'd experienced. My junior-high experience was similarly miserable.
But that wasn't all. No, my mother-in-law raised the prospect of bullying. Bullying! It's been in the news a lot lately, you see. It's getting worse. Or something like that.
That's when I snapped and fought back, laying out, with barely suppressed anger, that every rationale my mother-in-law and wife had just given to me for home schooling was rooted in fear that the kids might be hurt emotionally or even physically. No positive reasons to home school, just negative ones. I told them that, and said I'd never let my kids be home schooled based on such muddled thinking. Are there risks to sending my kids to public school? Sure. Do I want them to be miserable? No, although most everyone I know had a bad middle-school experience and lived to tell about it. But the bottom line is, if you can't come up with better reasons for home schooling than those, then the discussion is over.
For now, at least.

1. A key part of us leaning toward public school is the chance it provides to become integrated into our community and school life. For us, the public school decision was a part of our overall ecclesiology.
2. Homeschooling offers us the chance to teach our kids things they aren't going to learn at school, as we would follow a classical curriculum and supplement with Latin instruction. We would also have the opportunity to try out different forms of education, like travel, that we wouldn't have available.

One thing I have noticed, knowing a lot of kids from church both homeschooled and not, is that the socialization issue has two sides. Homeschooling parents have the option of removing their children from society, which can lead to crippling social inadequacy. Most of the families I know, though, are very active in the church, in the homeschooling group, and in the community at large, and because of this, the children are comfortable socializing with most everybody. Most (not all) of the kids who regularly volunteer to help in the nursery or who join the adult men's and women's groups at church are homeschooled. Attending any school can lead to greater opportunities to socialize with one's own peer group, but rarely do you get to spend time with anyone else. Most of my friends from high school were from 3-4 classes behind me or my teachers, and as an undergraduate I talked to my teachers more often than many of my classmates.

Besides the travel part, is there any reason you can't supplement public schooling with a bit of added home education? During Summer break, for instance. Not that you'd want to overload your children, of course.

CNN: What was the most difficult thing to pull off?
Webb: You realize how many fans are in that universe. The intensity of the fans was really overwhelming for me, and also inspiring, but also intimidating. You understand their love of the characters and you want to make them happy, but you want to surprise them as well.
When I did "Summer," nobody cared. I was desperate for some publicity.
With this there was too much publicity and too many websites talking about our movie. You want to make a movie in private to create and experiment but that's not the way of a big franchise. You want to create performances as great as any independent film, it's not about big or small. It's about finding something special.
CNN: Would you ideally hope that this becomes a trilogy?
Webb: That's too far in the future, but I'm having a great time. I'm having a really great time.
CNN: What themes do you want to explore more in the next movie? What should DVD and Blu-Ray viewers look for in preparing for the sequel?
Webb: There's a lot more to explore with the parents. The Gwen Stacy saga is going to unfold in an interesting way.
CNN: You and Andrew Garfield were confirmed for the sequel. Is Emma Stone likely to return as well?
Webb: Emma will be back. Believe you me.


text: A fence is a structure that is used to keep intruders away, and can also be used for demarcating or decorative purposes. There are number fence materials that are used and they make up the different type of fences i.e. wood, metal or concrete fences. Wooden fencing posts some of the main local fence materials although posts can also be made from fiber glass or steel. Wood posts are the cheapest and the commonly used. Their durability depends on the tree species as well as the method used to treat the wood. They are treated so as to prevent parasites from attacking and eating away the wood. Staples are fencing materials that are used to fasten the fencing wire to the posts especially in a wood fence. The staples should be strong enough to withstand pressure when being pinned on or withdrawn from the wood. They should also be made from a material that is long-lasting and thus can resist rusting that is aggravated when they are rained on. Staples should be of the right dimension in order to prevent staple withdrawal. It is also important to consider the nature of the wood on which they are to be fastened. When being used on pressure-treated posts made from softwoods, there is high probability of withdrawal thus they should be fastened tighter and should be long enough to go deep into the wood. When used on untreated hardwood posts, shorter staples are better as little insertion into the wood is required. Steel posts are used on metal fence and are much easier to drive on the ground than wood. They also act as lightening arrestors especially on wet soil. This type of fence material is durable although is requires that it is galvanized so as to avoid rusting. Zinc is the material that is mostly used as the coating. Paint can also be used to prevent rusting as well as giving the fence a beautiful finish.

15 Tasty Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes
Although the turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving meal, I find that I spend more time planning the side dishes. There is only so much that you can do with the turkey so I spend a lot of my creativity coming up with exciting and tasty side dishes. I do try to restrain myself a bit though as the Thanksgiving dinner is already really big and it requires a lot of time and effort to make. As a general rule of thumb, I try to go with one green vegetable and one potato or squash side dish and then maybe one or two others and the sky is the limit for the extras! Sometimes it is nice to go with old favourites or maybe a new take on a classic and I like to try at least a few completely new dishes every year.
Pancetta and Porcini Potato Gratin - Right now the top spot on my list of side dish recipes for Thanksgiving is a newcomer and this potato gratin gratin is just packed with flavour provided by dried porcini mushrooms and pancetta. Bring on the umami! (And the coma induced by polishing off a pan of this in one night all by yourself...)
Italian Sausage, Mushroom and Chestnut Stuffing - Whether you are going to stuff this into you turkey or just make in in a pan, you really cannot go wrong with this stuffing that has an amazing array of fall flavours and textures. Really it eats like a meal all by itself.
Green Bean Casserole - The green bean casserole is a classic and it tastes even better when you make it from scratch! To change things up a bit try a blue cheese green bean casserole. If you are looking to free up some oven space then this stovetop deconstructed green bean casserole is the way to go.
Sweet Potato Casserole - Another Thanksgiving classic and with good reason! It is like having a desert in the form of a side dish.
Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Bacon in a Mustard Cream Topped with a Parmesan Crust - I always like to include at least one green vegetable in my Thanksgiving meal and when you are getting a bit bored with the green bean casserole, these brussels sprouts covered in cheesy mustard cream sauce baked along with some smoky bacon in a parmesan crust are just the answer.
Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes topped with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms - With melted blue cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms this side dish will be the first to disappear from the table! Although these mashed potatoes take a bit of time to make, they are well worth the effort!
Onion Gratin - Everything tasted better when covered in cream and melted cheese and this onion gratin is perfect for a special occasion!
Mushroom Risotto - Mushroom lover need look no further than this risott for a tasty Thanksgiving side!
Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa - Broccoli and cheddar is an amazing flavour combination and this this quinoa side dish is a great way to enjoy it!
Twice Baked Sweet Potato Potato Skins with Pecan Streusel (aka Individual Sweet Potato Casserole) - Looking to change up the sweet potato casserole this year? These individually portioned stuffed sweet potato skins are a nice way to go!
Roasted Cauliflower and Aged White Cheddar Gratin - It is hard to go wrong smothering a vegetable in a cheese sauce and this roasted cauliflower in an aged white cheddar sauce is one of the tastiest ways to go!
Green Beans in a Creamy Mushroom Sauce - A quick and easy stove top side dish of green beans in a creamy mushroom sauce!
Spinach and Feta Quinoa Salad - All of the flavours of spanakopita in a healthy and tasty quinoa side dish!
Roasted Butternut Squash with Caramelized Onions, Gorgonzola and Crispy Fried Sage - Roasted butternut squash, caramelized onions, gorgonzola and crispy fried sage is such an amazing flavour combination that will be a welcome addition to any Thanksgiving table!
Roasted Apple Sauce - Apple sauce is a common side dish on the Thanksgiving table and why not make your own and take the opportunity to roast the apples to bring out more of their flavour!

Skin Collection
The Skin Collection is a reaction to the 25-30 percent waste produced by the furniture industry. The furniture is found on the street or secondhand and modified and then covered in pieces of leather leftovers.
What creates this amount of waste are things like the organic shape of the animal, its scratches, damages, scars and none matching colors after dying. This project is fed by the nature of this leather scrap, turning it into random patterns, referring to cell structures and growth in nature. The cover grows slowly around the object where colors blend together. The entire process is done by hand. It merges discarded objects with a skin made out of waste and gives it a new life.
Material: Leather remnants, found objects
All items of Skin Collection are one-offs. Availability, prices and commisions on

Leather Loops
Leather Loops is another reaction to waste leather. Fully rejected skins, faded by sunlight or with too many damages are used in this project. Like an l.p. the leather tops can easily be swapped within the family of frames.
The rejected skins are cut down to straps and rolled up to seats. These straps are both cut and rolled up in different ways to bring diversity in a standard process. Any leftover leather skin can be used as the seat only reveals the end grain of the leather. All damages and color differences are hidden inside the seat.

Brick Series
The Brick Chair is a reaction on a drawing made by James Gulliver Hancock. Pepe's interpretation changed the chair into (second hand) children's bricks. He wanted to stretch the possibilities of the material to its limits: the Brick Chandelier evolved. With a diameter of 2.70m, it amazes many.
Pepe about the drawing of James Gulliver Hancock: ''My eye was caught by his type of drawing, it looks like a child has been drawing with a great eye for detail.'' His handwriting changed the chair once (into a drawing), Pepe's interpretation changed it again: into bricks. Evolution on a small scale. In short, the project is about interpretation and imagination. After getting the structure under control in the chair, he wanted to stretch the possibilities of the material to its limits: the Brick Chandelier evolved. With a diameter of 2.65 meter this chandelier amazes by the combination of being both playful and technical at the same time.
Material: second hand wooden blocks, steel.

Stitch is a family of discarded furniture found either on the street or in second hand shops. The project was sedigned to be made in a sheltered workshop. To make a 'perfect' fit is quite a specialist job, that was out of the question. Covering the items with oversized skins and stuffing them like teddy bears, brigs them character.
The oversized skins were meant to be hand cut and hand stitched by workers of a 'sheltered workshop'. It appeared to be that they have a very limited concentration span and that they could not work really accurate. This resulted in oversized skins. We took care of the first prototypes in the studio. They wear a hand-stitched skin stuffed with soft fibers. That's where shape starts to grow.
Material: found objects, cotton fiber
Chair, H85 x W50 x L40 cm.

Triple P Properties acquired the 2.5 acre parcel east of the Interstate 75 interchange in Adairsville six years ago and started the hotel about the same time that Cabela's indicated that it was going to build a massive outdoor gear shop in Adairsville.
First Cabela's bailed out on the project, then the economy went south, and for the better part of four years a one-story shell of a hotel sat seemingly abandoned on the site.
Then, earlier this year, construction resumed, and the Horizon Hospitality Management website indicates that the hotel is expected to open sometime in the first quarter of 2013.
Ellen Archer, executive director of the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention Bureau, said the hotel would be the first to open in Adairsville in 20 years.
"I think the market is ripe for it," Archer said.
Adairsville Mayor Evan King said the new hotel would be a nice complement to the existing hotels in the town.
"We are looking forward having a nice, upscale Hampton Inn facility with the amenities Hampton offers," King said.
Tony Patel, COO Al Patel and CEO Nim Patel lead Horizon Hospitality Management.
Al Patel said that, to his knowledge, the new 79-room hotel would be the tallest commercial property in Bartow County.
"We're replacing another Hampton in Calhoun," Patel said. "It will switch flags once we open this one. It's already sold and once we open this one, that one goes to another name."
The Adairsville hotel will feature an indoor heated pool, an expanded fitness center and suites featuring Hi-Definition flat screen televisions and other amenities.
The lobby and continental dining area features a two-story atrium, however the new Hampton Inn will not have dedicated meeting or conference rooms.
The company's website also lists seven projects under development, including the Adairsville project and a new Fairfield Inn and Suites in Calhoun, slated to open in the third quarter of 2013. All but one of the Horizon Hospitality properties are a Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn & Suites, or Holiday Inn Express. The lone property outside of that group is a LaQuinta Inn in Acworth.
The Bartow County Tax Commissioner's office has been billing the property based on land value alone for the past six years. The property was assessed this year for $329,400.

Here's how to make a zig zag quilt without piecing those pesky triangles!
Cut 2 strips 3" wide x width of fabric from one of the print fabrics.
Cut 2 strips 3" wide x width of fabric from the solid fabric.
Press toward the grey.
Cut into 5.5" squares - you will need 14 blocks for each row. Each strip should yield at least 7 blocks. Layout as shown (except use all 14 blocks-only 12 are shown here).
Layout the next color...

Vehicles covered by tarps or stored in the rear yard must still be in operating condition. Major automotive repair, even of personal vehicles may not be conducted outdoors. - MANUFACTURED HOMES
Manufactured homes with a minimum size of 24 feet by 36 feet and meeting the HUD standards for construction are treated as any site-built house.

Where do I get information on Sector Plans?
The Comprehensive Plan and most Sector Development Plans are available on the Planning Department's Publications website. Call 505-924-3860 for further information. - A Reminder for Neighborhood Associations

This basement in Walkertown, NC had water leaking in through the walls and the gaps around the window. Tar Heel Basement Systems installed their EverLast Basement Window to replace the old rusted one that was allowing water intrusion. The EverLast Widow is made specifically for the basement environment, so it will never rot, rust, be eaten by termites or need to be painted. The end result is a much tighter, energy efficient window that looks great.
This home in Advance, NC had settling support columns and rotting floor joists. This was causing the structural integrity of the floors above to be compromised. Tar Heel Basement Systems installed (6) SmartJack stabilizers in the crawlspace in order to stabilize the beams and potentially lift the above floors back to level. The installation crew also encapsulated the crawlspace to ensure a dry, mold-free environment in down there.

Hopefully this marks the year that Ilitch achieves his goal of bringing a WS title back to Detroit! He has the money. He has the will. He has the GM. He almost has the team. A rich owner with a sense of urgency is a fan's dream come true. As it is with the Yankees model, spending more money won't necessarily mean that they lose it. The fan interest and support in Detroit next year will be historic.
Rumors and news roundup from the last few weeks: - Sanchez wants $90M. - Tigers taking a look at Bonderman to possibly give him a minor league contract after his TJ surgery. - Tigers considering also giving Zumaya a similar long shot to see if he can make a comeback. - Taking a hard look at Justin Upton for one of our need positions- corner outfield. Doing "due diligence" right now. - Some speculation that Detroit might buy Hamilton to play left field? This is the screw the future strategy, pick off 2 straight WS strategy. - Nick Swisher? - Melky? Switch hitting, all-star, corner outfielder... with some juice withdrawal risk. It wouldn't be much fun having to face back to back Cabreras in a lineup. - Closer- Looks like they are going to take a shot at incorporating Randon. Dude can throw 103 and has a 90 mph change up! Forecasted lineup: 1) Jackson- C 2) Cabrera or Upton or Swisher- RF 3) Cabrera- 3B 4) Fielder- 1B 5) Martinez- DH 6) Peralta- SS 7) Dirks/ Garcia- LF 8) Avila- C 9) Infante- 2B Bench: Berry Boesch Worth Garcia Castellanos? Holladay Santiago Rotation 1) Verlander 2) Scherzer 3) Fister 4) Sanchez or Grienke 5) Smyly/ Porcello Pen - Albequerque - Porcello - Benoit - Coke - Dotel - Villereal Closer - Rondon! or committee of dudes Could potentially be the best hitting and best pitching team that we will see in our lifetimes if we lock down 1 of those 3 FA prospects for RF and get Sanchez or Grienke to complete our rotation.
Mr. Ilitch did not look very good during that ceremony. Dombrowski and Leyland were practically holding him up. Let's hope Mr. I has good health and he can live to hoist the real trophy up a couple of times.
Agreed, he's never been a big man.... but it was really shocking how frail he looked during that ceremony. Hope he's just getting old and there isn't a health issue that we don't know about.
I hadn't seen him in a while and was shocked at how he looked. I guess the last time I saw him on TV was when he was being interviewed about potentially buying the Pistons a couple years ago. He looks like a completely different man now. I REALLY want a WS victory for this guy. I can't imagine any owner in any league who is more deserving.
Illich is well over 80. Maybe 83, or 86. I'm 77, but I don't look that bad. I take 6 medications and read PF.com for amusement. I don't know how much that extends my life span. Maybe, if Frank would quit playing JJ at PF, that might help.
The fact that he himself was a player should not be underestimated when assessing his determination. He seems completely past the financial restrictions. Would have been interesting to see what he might have done with the Pistons if he was 10 years younger and could have reeled that purchase in.
When I first saw him being presented the trophy, I thought he was Dombrowski or leyland's mother and wonder what a nice gesture to bring their mother up to stage during the trophy celebration. Then when I realized it was Illitch, I thought maybe he was wearing a wig or something.
Hunter signs.... So our top 5 is deadly... now if the bottom 4 can just hold there heads above water.... our offense gets crazy good.
Pretty hard not to like this move. If V-Mart bounces back decently, this could be a potent lineup. I wonder who will hit second in the lineup.
38 years old, but a health freak. It gives Garcia and Castellanos 2 years to get ready to replace him. I'm reading more and more articles about how keeping Sanchez seems very unlikely. Smyly is so young that he may just progress right into that solid 4th spot anyway.

Groton — Town police have charged an 82-year-old Fulton Drive man with negligent homicide after a more than four-month investigation of a Fort Hill Road accident.
George Evans of 50 Fulton Drive also was charged with failing to avoid a pedestrian in a crosswalk. He was released on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear May 11 in the New London court where major crimes are heard.
The fatal motor vehicle crash occurred on Fort Hill Road at Vergennes Court on Dec. 6. Police say that the vehicle Evans was driving struck 51-year-old Anthony McClellan, a life-long resident of Groton, while he was crossing the street in the crosswalk.
The state's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled that McClellan had died of accidental blunt head trauma.
Would you ever consider using marijuana for medical purposes?

Designed to distribute weight evenly, the Proud Stash harness straps are wide, padded and fully adjustable.
Soft but strong, the bag's integrated top grab handle is the perfect pick-me-up.
The bag is made from water resistant Field Twill, and features hooded external zippers.
We construct the Proud Stash with ultra durable materials, and reinforce the seams and stitching on all stress points. That's why it carries the famous Crumpler lifetime guarantee.
Not just 'a' warranty, but the Legendary Crumpler 'Til Death Do Us Part' Warranty!
If your Crumpler bag fails as a result of defective materials or workmanship under normal use while you: a) draw breath and b) remain the bag's owner, we'll repair or replace the part(s) in question – no questions asked. Just drop your bag off at a Crumpler Store or mail your bag to a Crumpler HQ, postage paid, together with your proof of purchase and a short note to explain the problem. We'll make it right and send it back to you ASAP.
If we reckon the fault occurred as a result of 'abnormal' usage – no offence intended – we'll contact you and obtain your approval to repair the bag at your expense.
I was introduced to the Crumpler line about six months ago while shopping in Beijing, when I became enamoured with the design. It took about this long to brew, research the brand and think about the investment. Sure, we all need that casual everyday companion, but why this bag? I would first recommend that you try it. Compared to other backpacks I've used this one just sits correctly regardless of content weight, in that vein, it doesn't make faces or look overstressed by different sized objects. Despite no true skeletal frame, the bag retains its shape extremely well and the material can face the daily elements without a sweat, that can only be down to its high stitching quality. Add a warranty that outlasts you and there's very little to argue over. Not everyone will like the capacity of this particular bag, but there are other lines too. I would recommend the two shades of blue and the black—the other shades are less bright and more of a pastel (if you're into that sort of thing).
I've had this backpack for about 2 months. I'm using it everyday, taking with me everywhere. It's lightweight, yet holds anything and everything. I've been using it pretty hard, and it hasn't gotten any wear. I spilled water on it (yeah I'm clumsy), got rained on, but inside stayed completely dry. It's nice to know that it really is water resistent because I carry my laptop with me a lot. It's affordable, and from what I've seen, this is the best backpack for the price. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Katsu's the name: High-end Japanese fusion has come to Silicon Valley in the form of Katsu. That's Katsu, the chef, and Katsu, the restaurant. Diners' expectations are high for what's being touted as the newest destination restaurant for Los Gatos. That's because Katsuhiko "Katsu" Hanamure trained under the famed Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa, whom Forbes has called the "sushi chef to the stars." Nobu's also known for successfully meshing the cuisines of Japan and South America and now owns a string of eponymously named (and Michelin-starred) restaurants around the world -- including the ones in Greece and Switzerland, where Katsu held executive chef roles.
Naturally, Katsu's menu runs to the sublime. For a la carte diners, there's Spiny Lobster Sashimi with Caviar, Spicy Tuna Ceviche and Boneless Lamb with Wasabi Butter. His six-course omakase (chef's choice) lineup features Fire-Kissed Sashimi, American Kobe-style Tenderloin with Yuzu Butter and Broiled Black Cod with a Sweet Marinade. You can wash it all down with aged, limited-edition Flying Pegasus Sake.

Piratefest weekend breaks numbers
On Sunday, the three day indoor baseball carnival –known as priatefest– came to a close. Whether it was the excitement for the young Bucs, the bright future, or the love the city of Pittsburgh has for black and yellow, fans flocked the David L. Lawerence convention center this weekend. 16,839 were in attendance –the highest since 2003.
"That was probably my and [general manager] Neal [Huntington's] greatest recruiting tool to get Clint [Hurdle] to come to Pittsburgh — the fans," Frank Coonelly said at PirateFest this weekend. "This is not just a great sports town. It's a great Pirates town."
"These fans are still passionate about what we do," Neal Huntington said. "As we start to win, they're going to come out and fill this place, and it's going to be an electric place to be."
Ross Ohlendorf, Garrett Jones, Evan Meek, Neil Walker, James McDonald, Andrew McCutchen, Jose Tabata, Jeff Karstens, Kevin Correia, Charlie Morton, Brad Lincoln and Paul Maholm were the players that attended this years Piratefest.
Here are some highlights from the Q&A sessions:
- On what career they would peruse if they weren't a ballplayer: Charlie Morton- Something in music. Andrew McCutchen- I'd be Morton's producer (Morton is actually a pretty good singer/guitar player. He played at last year's pirate fest. Click here for videos from it.)
- On Morton's rebound season in 2011: "I'm excited and I'm ready to move on from last year."
- When the players were asked who their favorite football team was, Jose Tabata said: "My name is Jose Tabata and I'm from Venezuela and I like black and yellow."
*Reports during mini camp were that Jose Tabata had bulked up this offseason in hopes to add more power to his bat. They weren't kidding. I took a close up of Tabata so you could see just how much muscle he packed on.
Here are some highlights from the Management Q&A sessions:
- General Manager Neal Huntington mentioned pitchers Rudy Owens and Daniel Moskos as two prospects that have a good chance to make major league appearances in 2011.
- Clint Hurdle has known left-hander Joel Beimel for 17 years. "He has a heart for the area. He wants to be a part of the group that turns this thing around."
- On if the Pirates will break the 18-year losing streak in 2011: "I can't see why not. Why can't we?" -Clint Hurdle
- On the way Pittsburgh has really embraced Clint Hurdle as the new Manager: "I'm humbled by the reception I've gotten. I'm proud to be a Pittsburgh Pirate."
- On a comparison of the Pirates to the San Diego Padres team from 2010: "They had a winning mentality, we didn't." -President Frank Coonelly
- In order to help the Pirates play better on the road, Hurdle said he was going to have the players write down their home vs. road routines in order to adjust the mind set.
Manager Clint Hurdle and Bench Coach Jeff Banister taught a youth baseball clinic on Sunday.
Some highlights during the young camp:
- "I don't have a world series ring either (referring to when a fan asked if Bench coach Jeff Banister had a World Series ring) I've been to the world series three times. Four times a charm. I've heard that somewhere." -Manager Clint Hurdle
- A fan asked Manager Clint Hurdle about Pedro Alvarez's recent weight game due to Holidays, offseason and recent honeymoon, "I'd be 40 pounds over weight…Pedro's going to be fine."

Pirates Double-A Altoona Curve had a station set up for the weekend. Here is the 2010 Eastern League Championship flag.
*On a side note. I was overwhelmed by how many great fans came up to me that said they are a reader of my blog. I can't thank you guys enough for all the support. I hope to continue covering the Pirates and bringing you all the buzz all season (and offseason) long.
