I prefer to only have QLab running on my MAc during a show. I assume I would therefore have to work with a stand alone DMX interface that I can load all my cues onto that than during a show can be triggered from QLab. In advance of a show I can than prepare all my light settings and load that onto the interface and check them in Easy View. What would be the best set up for me when using Sunlite Suite 2?

Building Blocks
All clients initially begin with "Discover." The key to a successful business, artist, movie, or fashion line lies within the research, observation, and statistical analysis phase of the process.
Before you begin a business, you need to visualize--and attempt to preemptively counter any roadblocks that may impede your vision. The more you know about the world, your competition, the market, and the strengths you alone can offer, the faster you'll reach your goal.
The service we offer, Coolhunting, fully embodies these concepts. Cool is always changing; it's important today to develop relationships with consumers and brand influencers.
At Zo! Creative, we get to the bleeding, bleating heart of what's cool. It's more than research: it's finding the keys to success before the work even begins.

We pride ourselves on the fact that we keep our developers in-house for maximum productivity and collaboration.
your message
Building Blocks
At Zo! Creative, we can tell a story to anyone. Our writers love to develop "social stories" that your brand can communicate to the outside world.

Our eventual goal is to convert these new friends, site visitors, and users into buyers, and position your brand as a master of storytelling and innovation.

A part of the prison is to be demolished because the cells are deemed unsafe. But the foundation Oranjehotel ( the name of the prison during the second world war )wants the section that houses cell 601 into a museum. They also want to build an information centre giving the history of the building and its occupants. Hundreds of prisoners stayed in the Oranjehotel, before they were executed in the nearby sand dunes or sent to Nazi concentration camps. More information on www.oranjehotel.com

Broad Street Run Bans Backpacks for 2013 Race
Runners are being encouraged to bring as little as possible with them this year.
Following the backpack bombings at the Boston Marathon two weeks ago, runners in this year's Broad Street Run in Philadelphia won't be able to tote their gear in a backpack, race organizers announced in a mass email to participants Monday. Taking a page from the Transportation Safety Administration's playbook, race organizers are mandating runners use clear plastic drawstring bags, which will be handed out at the expo Friday and Saturday, to stow their gear this year. "You are strongly encouraged to bring as little as possible with you to the start of the race," race organizers said in the email to runners. "All items brought into the start area are subject to search and/or confiscation." Race organizers only indicated backpacks would be …

Lucky Listens: M.I.A.
It's been over a year since we last heard from rapper M.I.A. (née Maya Arulpragasam), and her brand-new track "Bad Girls" is the hottest thing we've heard since, well, her 2007 smash hit "Paper Planes." The first single from her untitled upcoming album, it's got a snappy Punjabi-style beat and plenty of percussion that make it infinitely listenable.
in the accompanying video, which was just released today, M.I.A. performs gravity-defying car stunts, shimmies about in a sequined silver jumpsuit and wears some of the coolest glitter eye makeup we've ever seen. In addition to being a bestselling recording artist, after all, this London-born lady's a one-of-a-kind stylesetter.
Luckily, getting the outspoken (and sometimes controversial) singer's look is easy. Take a prints-on-prints-on-prints ensemble, add some oversized gold jewelry, and mix in as many Skittles colors as possible. To get you started, check out some of our M.I.A.-inspired picks in the slideshow...and then get on with yo' bad girl self.

Recreational fishery rights, governance and allocations
The popularity and demand for recreational fishing in New Zealand has resulted in conflict between recreational and commercial fishers when both sectors compete for access to the same limited resource in fully exploited fisheries. This is particularly an issue for inshore fisheries, both finfish and shellfish.
At the individual level, recreational fishers may fish for any species almost anywhere in the country. Some species have minimum size limits and many popular species have daily bag limits. However, these are not 'hard' constraints on the total catch because any member of the public can exercise the right to go fishing. If participation rates change and as the general population grows, fixed bag limits may result in changing total recreational take. If total recreational take expands and the TAC is set correctly, ensuring that the overall take remains within the TAC could result in the growth in recreational catch being accommodated by reducing the commercial share (the TACC). However, this undermines the value of commercial rights and the increased uncertainty about TACC levels reduces incentives for the industry to invest in conserving or adding value to the fishery.
This highlights the differing nature of the access right provided to recreational and commercial fishers. Recreational fishers are entitled, as of right, to go fishing in the sea (no permit is required) but this public access right can be, and is, subject to regulatory restrictions empowered by statute. For commercial fishers, the QMS has created statutory rights that have some of the characteristics of property – and have been recognised as such by the courts. This more specific definition of rights for commercial fishers provides a range of benefits to industry and government, including the great advantage in management of being able to more tightly constrain total catch. By contrast, the total catch taken by the recreational sector is not under such direct management control. This creates particular difficulties for management when recreational catch is expanding in a stock that is already fully exploited.
Fisheries management outcomes, particularly maximisimg value, and credibility, can be enhanced considerably by increasing the levels of engagement by fisheries stakeholders. This is a key component of the Ministry's objectives-based fisheries management approach, including the development of fisheries plans. However, stakeholders in the non-commercial sector tend to lack the capacity, experience, and resources to participate effectively. Input from the recreational sector is currently heavily reliant on a very few individuals who are willing to expend the time to engage in Ministry processes, and tends to focus on high profile national issues. Further, only a small fraction of recreational fishers belong to recreational fishing organisations, which undermines the credibility of those organisations claiming to represent recreational interests at a national level.
The conflict inherent in the allocation of catch between sectors, and the dispersed nature of interests means that consensus on potential solutions is unlikely and controversy may be unavoidable if significant improvements are to be made. A combination of measures that addresses the needs and values of all sectors is likely to be required. Such a package could draw on a wide range of options including selective spatial separation, managing stocks for high biomass levels ('above Bmsy'), increasing use of advisory bodies, and increased certainty around allocation criteria including consideration of redress in appropriate circumstances (such as re-allocation from one sector to another after acknowledging the contribution of different sectors to the current state of the fishery). Such measures would build on the recent initiatives to improve consultation and would improve incentives for better interest representation. Options to address capacity deficiencies include supporting the development of better-resourced and organised groups through which views and input could be channelled.
To address these issues, the Ministry has a range of initiatives underway, including a policy project to explore options to increase the social, cultural and economic value of shared fisheries by improving intersectoral access and allocation, and providing administrative and policy support to the newly appointed Recreational Fishing Ministerial Advisory Committee and the regional recreational forums.

Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. King, both a Baptist minister and civil-rights activist, had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States, beginning in the mid-1950s. Among many efforts, King headed the SCLC. Through his activism, he played a pivotal role in ending the legal segregation of African-American citizens in the South and other areas of the nation,
"I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land."
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
"At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love."
"Right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
as well as the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, among several other honors. King was assassinated in April 1968, and continues to be remembered as one of the most lauded African-American leaders in history, often referenced by his 1963 speech, "I Have a Dream."
Early Years
Born as Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. was the middle child of Michael King Sr. and Alberta Williams King. The King and Williams families were rooted in rural Georgia. Martin Jr.'s grandfather, A.D. Williams, was a rural minister for years and then moved to Atlanta in 1893. He took over the small, struggling Ebenezer Baptist church with around 13 members and made it into a forceful congregation. He married Jennie Celeste Parks and they had one child that survived, Alberta. Michael King Sr. came from a sharecropper family in a poor farming community. He married Alberta in 1926 after an eight-year courtship. The newlyweds moved to A.D. Williams home in Atlanta.
Michael King Sr. stepped in as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church upon the death of his father-in-law in 1931. He too became a successful minister, and adopted the name Martin Luther King Sr. in honor of the German Protestant religious leader Martin Luther. In due time, Michael Jr. would follow his father's lead and adopt the name himself.
Young Martin had an older sister, Willie Christine, and a younger brother, Alfred Daniel Williams King. The King children grew up in a secure and loving environment. Martin Sr. was more the disciplinarian, while his wife's gentleness easily balanced out the father's more strict hand. Though they undoubtedly tried, Martin Jr.'s parents couldn't shield him completely from racism. Martin Luther King Sr. fought against racial prejudice, not just because his race suffered, but because he considered racism and segregation to be an affront to God's will. He strongly discouraged any sense of class superiority in his children which left a lasting impression on Martin Jr.
Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Martin Luther King Jr. entered public school at age 5. In May, 1936 he was baptized, but the event made little impression on him. In May, 1941, Martin was 12 years old when is grandmother, Jennie, died of a heart attack. The event was traumatic for Martin, more so because he was out watching a parade against his parents' wishes when she died. Distraught at the news, young Martin jumped from a second story window at the family home, allegedly attempting suicide.
King attended Booker T. Washington High School, where he was said to be a precocious student.

Nobel Peace Prize Winners
When Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel died in 1896, he left his fortune to create an annual series of prizes for the individuals who confer "the greatest benefit on mankind." The most prestigious of the awards is the Nobel Peace Prize. Historians believe Alfred Nobel wanted to award people who work for peace to compensate for his own role in inventing dynamite. Since its establishment, the prize has gone to many courageous individuals who have fought for peace and human rights around the world.

GALLIPOLIS — April 14-20, 2013, is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, and, according to current Gallia County 911 Director Sherry Daines, it is all too fitting that this week the Gallia County 911 Center will be rededicated in honor of the man who was so instrumental in the development of the county's 911 system.
At 2 p.m. on Thursday, the Gallia County 911 Center will be renamed the "Stephen L. Wilson 911 Communications Center" in honor of the late Steve Wilson, who served as the 911 Director from the system's inception in 1997 until his untimely passing on November 4, 2009.
"He was very dedicated to the people of Gallia County and he wanted the system to be the best that we could have and I think that was accomplished," Daines said of Wilson. "He would be very proud that things have continued the way he would have wanted them to. And this rededication, I think, is very fitting. He put a lot of time into it. He lived and breathed 911, so, I think this is very fitting that this is happening now."
Wilson, who had been noted both locally and across the state for his knowledge of emergency response communications systems, served as a dispatcher for the City of Gallipolis for nearly 20 years prior to his service as the 911 director, and, according to Daines, who worked with Wilson from her earliest days as a dispatcher with the City of Gallipolis in the late 1980s, he helped to structure the Gallia 911 Center as a model for other emergency communications centers.
"Steve was really instrumental in the pre-planning of 911 for Gallia County," Daines said. "He was on the committee that helped decide what we were going to have here, what kind of equipment and when they started putting everything together. And then he came here as the director in 1997 and he was the director until he passed away in 2009."
Prior to 1997, according to Daines, the county's emergency communications system was decentralized with each individual agency — the Gallia County Sheriff's Office, City of Gallipolis and Gallia County EMS — maintaining their own dispatch centers.
"Everybody had their own thing going on then, so once 911 came along and it was a central dispatch, it took some getting used to for everyone, from the responders to the dispatchers, but it has definitely been good for the community because everything comes here, everything is dispatched from here, it is followed through from start to finish," Daines commented.
According to Daines, the county's emergency dispatchers officially moved to their current location in September 2007. This 1997 move coincides with Wilson's evident role in the development of the system as he was named 911 director by the Gallia County Commissioners on September 1, 1997.
Daines, who served as the 911 Deputy Director and Wilson's assistant following the 1997 move, was named as Wilson's successor following his passing. And, while Wilson is sorely missed by not only those associated with the 911 center, but also by local first responders, his legacy is being carried on by Daines and the Wilson family.
"Now, his brother, Keith, is the assistant. He is 911 Deputy Director and I know Steve would be happy about that, too," Daines said.
All first responders, county officials and members of the general public are invited to attend Thursday's ceremony at the 911 Center as it is rededicated as the "Stephen L. Wilson 911 Center."
"Anyone who wants to stop in is more than welcome to stop in and we're going to have an open house after the ceremony," Daines said. "We'd be happy to show people around to see what kind of system we have. There may be people out there that have not been inside our facility and we'd be happy to show them what we have."
The Gallia County 911 Center is located at 1191 Ohio 160.

Welcome to our site, or at least the initial version of it! BMR has been online for nearly three years and strictly through word-of-mouth we have built a loyal following.
We're continuing with our plans to ultimately build a very unique investment and money-management resource site that goes considerably beyond what we have now. While we focus a great deal on the Gold and Silver markets and trends in the global economy, and of course the technical health of the TSX Venture Exchange (CDNX), an important component of this site will always be original research on undiscovered junior exploration companies or small producers, mostly in the Gold and Silver exploration space, that offer very real and significant upside potential. We are extremely selective in the companies we feature and put forward to investors – we prefer quality over quantity. However, investors must understand that these are still highly speculative situations and entail considerable risk, volatility and unpredictability. Our stock coverage is for informational and entertainment purposes only and must not be viewed or interpreted as "buy", "sell" or "hold" recommendations. We are not Registered Securities Advisers. Our opinions can only be construed as a solicitation to buy and sell securities when they are subject to the prior approval and endorsement of a Registered Securities Adviser operating in accordance with the appropriate regulations in your area of jurisdiction. Always perform your own due diligence and please read our disclaimer at the bottom.
We use a combination of fundamental and technical factors in determining the value and potential of a stock. In terms of fundamentals we look for a company with a superb project supported by strong management. Management must possess integrity, solid ethics and a determination to succeed and build shareholder value.
At BullMarketRun (BMR) we approach the handling of money from a biblical perspective and this is an important topic we will be sharing with our readers (and listeners) as the site continues to develop. The Bible teaches so much about money and how to handle it and invest it - there are literally thousands of verses on how we should handle the money and possessions that God entrusts us with. By examining the life of Jesus and reading the Word of God, we can all become fully equipped to be successful investors and handle money wisely. If it's the other way around - if you're a slave to money by being in debt for instance, or if you don't respect the value of money and spend it foolishly - you're in trouble and you'll never be blessed financially. We have a God who thinks big – He created the universe – and He wants us to think big in every area of our lives. When we handle money from a Biblical perpective (His money that we have been given stewardship of) He will bless our financial decisions and an increase of tenfold or a hundredfold is always possible. This all begins, of course, with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior and putting Him at the throne of your life. It is the most important decision you'll ever make.
God Bless,
Terry Dyer

Ex-President George H.W. Bush leaves hospital after 2 months
HOUSTON (AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush was released from a Houston hospital Monday after spending nearly two months being treated for a bronchitis-related cough and other health issues, a family spokesman said.
Bush, 88, the nation's oldest living former president, was admitted to Methodist Hospital Nov. 23 including a week in intensive care last month.
"I am deeply grateful for the wonderful doctors and nurses at Methodist who took such good care of me," Bush said in a statement released by spokesman Jim McGrath. "Let me add just how touched we were by the many get-well messages we received from our friends and fellow Americans. Your prayers and good wishes helped more than you know, and as I head home my only concern is that I will not be able to thank each of you for your kind words."
Bush already had been in the hospital about a month for treatment of the persistent cough in December when his office disclosed he was in intensive care because physicians were having difficulty controlling a fever that developed after the cough was mostly resolved.
On Dec. 29, Bush's office said the former president had improved and was transferred back to a regular hospital room. Since then, his condition has continued to improve and he has been undergoing physical therapy to rebuild his strength.
"Mr. Bush has improved to the point that he will not need any special medication when he goes home, but he will continue physical therapy," Dr. Amy Mynderse, the internal medicine physician in charge of the former president's care, said in Monday's statement.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, live in Houston during the winter and spend their summers at a home in Kennebunkport, Maine. On Jan. 6, they celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary. They are the longest-married presidential couple.
Bush had served two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president when he was elected in 1988 to be the nation's 41st president. Four years later, after a term highlighted by the success of the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait, he lost to Democrat Bill Clinton.

The Democrats keep repeating the mantra that the financial crisis is the fault of the Bush Administration and Republicans. When is McCain going to hit back and lay this mess at the feet of those who created it and refused to do anything to control it? Bill O'Reilly ripped into Barney Frank, head of the House Financial Services Committee, last night for blaming everyone but himself and accepting no personal responsibility for this mess. In 2003, Frank said, "These two entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not facing any kind of financial crisis." According to a New York Times article, Frank added, "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
How many people are aware that John McCain supported a proposal for oversight of FMAE and FMAC in 2005 while Democrats refused to support it and wanted approval for more suspect mortgages? McCain and Palin should hit the Democrats over the head with this until they knock them silly! See: http://beltwaysnark.com/2008/09/16/john-mccain-supported-a-proposal-for-... [8]
The bill was shot down by DEMOCRATS! Shove this right down their throats, talk about the push by Democrats during the Clinton administration to expand mortgage loans among low- and moderate-income people who were not qualified to receive these loans. Repeat as many times as necessary that the very groundwork for today's problems are rooted in Jimmy Carter's 1977 Community Reinvestment Act , and that in 2003 President Bush proposed the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis and was blocked by Democrats on party lines. Keep slamming Obama who has gotten more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from employees and political action committees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Chris Dodd, the Senate Banking Committee chairman, who received more than $165,000. Barack Obama and his allies took the money and, for years, did nothing to resolve the credit crisis.
John McCain needs to push back against the way the media has painted this as the fault of Republicans, including McCain himself. If he continues to roll over and say nothing about this, McCain will go down with the ship.
Come on John! Fight with me, stand up, fight with me! Fight!

Undisciplined Flyers lose to Red Wings; have another lost weekend
DETROIT —- Charged with the daunting task of snapping the Detroit Red Wings' 19-game home winning streak, Sergei Bobrovsky did all he could —- which is to say not enough.
Playing a third straight game thanks to starter Ilya Bryzgalov's flu symptoms, and playing against one of the premier skill teams in the league at a place where they often prove unbeatable, Bobrovsky played just well enough Sunday night to keep the Flyers even through the first couple of periods.
What he ultimately couldn't overcome was what his teammates can't seem to change —- their penchant for taking ill-timed penalties.
After twice allowing tying goals within a few minutes of the Flyers forging ahead, Bobrovsky kept true to his backup status when he gave up a go-ahead goal by Johan Franzen all of 39 seconds into the third period, and from there the Red Wings held on for a historic 4-3 victory at typically loud Joe Louis Arena.
Make it 20 in a row for the Wings at the Joe, tying a record set by the 1975-76 Flyers and 1929-30 Boston Bruins. Those teams probably had help from time to time, too, but the assistance offered to the Wings Sunday night was just too much.
The fatal Flyer flub turned into a thing of hockey beauty.
With a power play just expired, the Wings refused to give up their attack in the Flyers' zone. That left the Flyers dazed and confused, and they didn't see a tic-tac-oh! play weaved by Henrik Zetterberg to Nick Lidstrom to Franzen, who easily beat Bobrovsky at :39 of the third for what would count as the winning goal.
What a shame, since the Flyers —- who ended a 23-year winless streak in games at the Joe last season —- really played quite well.
It's just that it doesn't matter if they keep giving teams like the Red Wings, or as was the case Saturday, the Rangers, chances to play with an extra man on the ice.
Five power play goals allowed the past two days against the Rangers and Red Wings. Nine power play goals allowed the past six games. Little wonder the Flyers (31-18-7, 69 points) lost five of them. Continued...
"It's too many," Scott Hartnell said. "I don't know if it's undisciplined or not, but you can't give a good team like this … these guys all have great shots, great puck-moving abilities. And if you give these guys time and space to make plays, especially when it's 5 on 4, it's going to shoot you right in the foot."
If not, the Red Wings might not have been able to celebrate No. 20.
They started the party with a power-play goal by Niklas Kronwall, but the Flyers struck back with a pair of goals by rookie Brayden Schenn, his first two-goal game.
To get it, Schenn had plenty of help from Wings' backup goalie Joey MacDonald.
First, he flubbed a clear, allowing Danny Briere to rifle a pass to Schenn, who was alone in front of an empty net for a tying goal at 16:42 of the first.
Then MacDonald botched another clearing attempt, sending it right out to Schenn in the circle, and he volleyed it back into the net at 5:22 of the second for a 2-1 lead.
It would last just over three minutes.
With Wayne Simmonds in the box for a slash, the wicked Wings power play clicked via a Pavel Datsyuk shot for 2-2. But the Flyers continued to work, and a nice play by Matt Read freed the puck up for Hartnell, who half-fanned a pass over to Max Talbot, and he half-shot it past MacDonald for a gift goal at 16:42.
At that point, all the Flyers had to do was kick into a protection mode to get into the second intermission with the lead.
Instead, they played terribly loose with the puck in the defensive zone, and failed to clear the puck twice before it finally went to Zetterberg, who shot it past Bobrovsky for the tying goal with just 1:39 left in the second period. Continued...
Making matters worse —- as the young Flyers often do —- rookie defenseman Marc-Andre Bourdon responded eight seconds later by taking a boarding penalty.
As if everyone in the building didn't know then that the Red Wings would take advantage. To their credit, the Flyers killed off the penalty ... but the Wings kept attacking in their zone as Bourdon came out of the box, and amid the confusion, Zetterberg-to-Lidstrom-to-Franzen turned some magic.
That's how quickly admirable efforts can turn into losing ones.
"If we could have went in with the lead there at the end of the second period, that would have set the table," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "But again, we're out there in the first minute (of the third) killing a penalty. And right after the penalty ends, we're scrambling."
Oh yes, those penalties.
"That's always been a problem," Laviolette said. "We're trying to clean it up, you know? We're trying. We talk about it, we show it, we talk about it …"
Young ears can seem deaf sometimes.

At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations.
Swapping services between entrepreneurial ventures may not be new, but it is big -- with current reports showing 400,000 firms generating $9 billion of bartering activity in the U.S.

Say this about the Pacific Lutheran softball team: They play hard and celebrate fast.
They came back from Virginia on Tuesday afternoon with the NCAA Division III National Championship trophy in hand, accepted the boisterous cheers and well-wishes of several hundred fans and classmates at the University Center, and then got back to business.
Stacey Hagensen, the Lute pitcher who was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, had to dive into her school books because she had a final exam this morning. She's finishing up her double-major (economics and math). One would expect nothing less of one whose 3.91 grade-point average earned her Academic All-America honors.
Coach Erin Van Nostrand was in even more of a hurry, turning around almost immediately and heading back to the airport for yet another cross-country flight. She is getting married this weekend in Boston.
Own the diamond in Virginia, collect the ring in Boston.
And honeymoon after that?
"No, that will wait until September," she said. "I'm coming home and sleeping for a week and then go recruiting it never ends."
The Lutes' championship game victory could not have been more symbolic of their rise to dominance as it was a 3-0 shutout over the defending national champ and Northwest Conference rival Linfield.
Hagensen was on the mound for that one, as she was for every inning of the Lutes' eight consecutive tournament wins, including the full 12 innings of the dramatic semifinal win over Montclair State.
"She's our heart and soul," Van Nostrand said of her star pitcher. "Without her, we're not here today."
Hagensen, meanwhile, deflected credit to the rest of the team, believing their success was fueled by a shared competitive passion: "Everyone wants to succeed so much; we all get along really well and encourage and support each other."
That was the theme voiced by most of those who commented on the 45-11 season that was the best ever at PLU.
Clutch-hitting first baseman Amanda Hall, who nailed a three-run homer to turn the game around in an earlier tournament win over Linfield, called it "camaraderie."
"We're just a group of girls who are like a big family," Hall said. "We have so much confidence in each other, all the way down the lineup. If one doesn't get the hit, somebody behind them will."
Van Nostrand employed a vague and somewhat existential definition of the element at the root of this team's run to the championship. "They have 'It'," she said. "We talk about having 'It' all the time."
A definition of "It," coach?
"It's persevering, pushing, being a good teammate, never backing down, never quitting," she said. "We have no drama, we have no issues, we like each other, we support each other, we hold each other accountable. That's so important. Talent will only get you so far."
In the case of the Lutes, it takes a village to build "It." Or at least to fund "It."
PLU athletic director Laurie Turner told of Van Nostrand coming into her office a year ago with a theory on what they could do to elevate the program to the next level. "Erin came in and said we must to go Hawaii and Texas to have a chance," Turner said of Van Nostrand's idea to upgrade the non-conference schedule.
Turner, of course, had to point out that such trips are pricey for non-scholarship Division III programs.
Van Nostrand and her troops saw it as just another challenge to overcome. They'd raise it themselves.
"We raised over $50,000 this year," she said. "We did it on the backs of the athletes and the parents and PLU and we funded the trip."
The investment paid off at tournament time. "When we got to the tournament, we were ready for whatever they threw at us," Van Nostrand said. We'd seen it all before. We'd taken every challenge and every battle they threw at us and handled it with grace."
And that's how they celebrated their win, too. Hugging their fans. Applauding each other. And then getting back to work.
You have to hustle to sustain "It."

In Chillicothe's consolation battle with Sugarcreek Garaway, the Cavs never got in sync...while their opponent operated as a well-oiled machine.
The Garaway Pirates won the match 55-29.
The Cavs played the first 17 minutes without leading scorer Zach Johnson (20.8ppg), and a number of younger Cavaliers who made the trip found themselves shouldering a good bit of the load.
Tommy Bolte hit a basket to tie the game at 2-2 and Nate Rosenbauer
dropped in a bucket for a 4-2 lead. Then, Garaway took over, scoring the next 30 points.
The Pirates closed out the first quarter hitting 11-of-14 field goals to build a 26-4 lead after the first period. Garaway jumped ahead 32-4 before Rosenbauer hit another bucket to snap the 30-0 run by the Pirates.
Chillicothe won the second half of play but was never able to overcome the surmountable lead built by Garaway in the first half.
Chillicothe (2-7) returns to play with an SEOAL showdown for first place in the league at Warren. The Warriors (3-0) are a game ahead of Chillicothe (2-1) in the SEOAL.

Get a Free PlayStation Vita with the Scion iQ
Offer sweetens the deal on the latest Scion, but put the PS Vita down while driving.
If you buy a new 2012 Scion iQ between now and July 31, Scion will throw in a free PlayStation Vita portable entertainment system to sweeten the deal, while supplies last (of the PS Vita, that is).
With its OLED high-definition touch screen, rear touch pad, twin cameras, dual-axis motion sensor, GPS capability and 3G connectivity, the PS Vita is as full-featured as most automotive infotainment systems. And also as potentially distracting.
Given that the target market for the iQ is "trendsetting generation of urban drivers," according to Scion, and likely gaming and technology enthusiasts, what's to stop them from checking out their new PS Vita on the drive home from the dealership? Maybe adding technology similar to those that stop drivers from texting would help.
This isn't the first Scion-PS Vita hook-up. MotorStorm RC included the iQ as an in-game vehicle option when it was originally released in March as a limited-time free download to PS Vita owners.

With fewer people rolling up their sleeves to give blood last year in Surry County, American Red Cross officials are hoping a new incentive will get 2013 off to a good start and halt that trend.
Surry County residents donated 6,321 units of blood during 2012, nearly 600 less than in 2011 when 6,920 units were received. The quantity not given had the potential to save or prolong life among patients in need.
Last year's drop is blamed on a decline in sponsorships of blood drives by various entities and the fact that some businesses that had hosted them closed, according to Ginny Anderson, a Red Cross donor-recruitment representative for Surry.
Coupled with that, this time of year is not exactly the blood-giving season, Anderson said.
"In the wintertime, we notice a lot of travel and a lot of sickness, and due to that travel and sickness people aren't able to donate," she said. Winter weather and busy schedules also can keep donors away, although the need for blood remains constant, Red Cross officials say.
To target donors for the first of the year, the Red Cross has announced a "Building a Better Blood Supply" promotion that offers those who give the chance to win a $1,000 gift card to a home-improvement store.
"It works two ways," Anderson said of the program that seeks to boost blood supplies to help others while also giving donors something to look forward to in the spring and summer when do-it-yourself projects blossom. The winner of the gift card can use it for power tools, paint or other needed supplies.
Beginning next week, a series of blood drives are planned throughout Surry County, offering numerous opportunities for donors to help improve the lives of others and possibly their homes as well, officials say.
The "Building a Better Blood Supply" promotion runs through March 31.
"Donating blood only takes about an hour, but the benefits can be lifesaving for a patient in your community," said Delisa English, chief executive officer of the Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region, which includes Surry County.
"This time of year is always challenging, but we hope our dedicated donors continue to make it a priority to build a better blood supply."
The Carolinas Blood Services Region aids patients in 103 hospitals. About 1,600 people need to give blood or platelets each weekday to meet hospital demands.
Blood can be donated every 56 days. Platelets can be given every seven days, up to 24 times a year.
Drive Schedule
The Red Cross is planning 10 drives during the month under this schedule:
• Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, 314 S. Franklin Road, Mount Airy. Appointments can be scheduled at calvarybcmtairy.org, with more information available from Ashley Mills at 403-1770.
• Monday from 1:30 to 6 p.m. at the Surry American Red Cross building, which will host a community blood drive. It is located at 844 Westlake Drive, Mount Airy. Appointments can be made at www.redcrossblood.org, and doing a search for Mount Airy, with more information available from Ginny Anderson at 416-4016.
• Thursday from 2 to 6:30 p.m. at Elkin High School, which will host the Brandon "Bubba" Bradley Bloodstock drive. Appointments can be made at 828-719-8137.
• Friday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Northern Hospital of Surry County. Appointments can be made at 719-7013 or by visting www.redcrossblood.org and searching for Northern.
• Jan. 18 at Mayberry Mall from 2:30 to 7 p.m., with Chad Harris the contact person for appointments at 786-1005.
• Jan. 21 at the Elkin Rescue Squad building, which will host a community drive from 1:30 to 6 p.m. Appointments can be made with Sam Bishop at 366-9751.
• Jan. 24 from 1 to 5:30 p.m. at White Plains Elementary School at 710 Cadle Ford Road. Appointments can be scheduled with the school at 320-3434.
• Jan. 25 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital, 180 Parkwood Drive, Elkin, with 527-7419 the contact number for appointments.
• Jan. 28 at First United Methodist Church in Pilot Mountain, where a community blood drive is planned from noon to 4:30 p.m. The church is located at 210 Marion St., with appointments available through Ken Shelton at 368-4548.
• Jan. 29 from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Shoals Elementary School, 1800 Shoals Road, Pinnacle. Appointments can be made with the school at 325-2518.

Water Stations at Vibes?
Posted 22 March 2012 - 05:56 PM
Posted 22 March 2012 - 11:49 PM
I would buy a collector style cup (pewter would be really nice) for $20 or whatever to save the landfills.
Next topic, bowls with unlimited refills?
Posted 23 March 2012 - 03:24 PM
That is definitely awesome fore sure!!!Rothbury had free water filling stations everywhere and you didn't even have to buy anything. It was awesome.
Good idea! At Wormtown they sold cups for $20 (don't quote me) that you could use for free refills of soda and I think water for the entire weekend. They also had a bottle return thingy/collection going on for those who brought/bought beer or soda.
I would buy a collector style cup (pewter would be really nice) for $20 or whatever to save the landfills.
Next topic, bowls with unlimited refills?
I like your thinking, Haha!
Yeah it was just a thought on the water thing, it's nice being able to go to various water stations around festival grounds and get instant refills. Def a piece of mind, especially when its a HOT festival!!! I don't think it will be as hot as last year, but who knows its practically summer now in March!!!
Posted 23 March 2012 - 07:32 PM
Posted 27 March 2012 - 06:18 PM
I'm a big advocate for the water stations not so much for the drinking water (Yuck) but for the hygiene, Seriously people your walking in and out of porta potties there's no water inside so every time you touch that handle some dirty hippie,yuppie,hip hopper touched to. WASH YOUR HANDS but are you going to waste a $4 bottle of water probably not, WATER STATIONS!
There are hand-washing stations that are rented along with the portas, that dispense fresh water from a foot pump, and have paper towels and hand sanitizer stations as well. Would be awesome to see some of those set-up for folks.
Posted 22 April 2012 - 07:32 PM
Hillside Festival always has a big tank of spring water that is free for anyone to fill-up at. There is no water for sale anywhere on the site, as they actively discourage the purchase of bottled water - pretty flippin' awesome if you ask me.
Seriously, we are 16 pints of water! How they managed to get away with making kids empty their water is beyond me. It's practically criminal, to deny people water! I could bring it in fromthe hotel, being the 'mom' type I guess they thought I was ok or something...but my kids who were in the campground literally were made to empty bottles and even their backpack water coolers. sad really....I hope this year the problem is solved.
