A changed euge (sorta)
November 20, 2012, 07:40:54 pm »
I just wanted to let you guys know about some things that have transpired in my life in the last several months.
You know about the death of my dear old Dad- an old Marine, a member of the Greatest Generation and my ultimate Hero.
What you don't know is:
Four days after his death I was laid off from my decently lucrative job of 6 years. Three weeks after that an Aunt passed away suddenly. A month after that an Uncle. The family pulls together. In the meantime there are slim pickings in my particular field of expertise. Basically no real jobs to be found in my area for a person of my qualifications. Mentally it got ugly. Thank god for xbox, beer and other things. A fellow laid-off is colleague calling me mirroring my mental state. We support each other. Meanwhile all is chaos and confusion. No responses to my carefully crafted resume and letters of recommendation. I begin to despair. Am I just another statistic of today's Economy?
A slew of part-time jobs appears. I apply for every single one of them. No responses.
Then my Mother passes away three months exactly shy of one hour of my Dad's death. I miss saying goodbye by 10 minutes. The family is devastated yet in no small way relieved since she suffered so. I am trying not to sink into a world of self-pity.
Two days later as we are making arrangements for a funeral a call is received and an Interview is scheduled! The day after the funeral another call comes in from my old organization. They want to interview me. After two interviews with the Director and my soon to be peers I am made an offer- albeit at a diminished compensation rate and part time hours. I quickly and gratefully accept. Will start in December.
Yesterday another recruiter calls me for a part time job and I set up an interview for this afternoon. Surprise! It's a peer interview with Supervisor/Manager present! Goes OK I think... Another one with the Director afterwards. Am told "We will be in touch by middle of next week one way or another..."
By the time I get home the recruiter is calling me with an offer. I take it. Now I have two part time jobs with competing organizations....
All is clear to me now. It has been tough, scary and uncertain. I still have no benefits. I am humbled and chastened. Probably not over yet. And I miss my parents.

I was feeling pretty down on myself today, until I read this. Thanks, Euge, for showing me how petty my concerns can be, when someone else's stress is so much more than mine. Kinda puts it all in to perspective. I wish you all the best, and hope things continue to improve!

My condolences...Best wishes to you, euge.
Losing your folks is tough one; in some ways, the ultimate rite of passage that generally sneaks up on us later in life. Despite the maturity that comes with the years, it doesn't make dealing with this any easier.
But in truth, they are still with you, for as long as they're in your thoughts.
The key to helping me deal with the losses of my Mom & Dad 18 & 20 years ago was the good memories I carried and continue to carry. Hopefully, you'll be visited in your dreams...I experience that pleasant mystery myself quite frequently, even now after all these years.
And I never fail to wake up smiling when I'm blessed with such a visit.
Here's wishing you peace of mind at a difficult time.

News Update
Plano East team schools competition at Hackathon
Photo courtesy of AT&T -- From left; Plano East students Jimmy Khong, Trent Davies, Ahmed Khan, Bilal Ayub and Matthew Laux created an Android application that helps struggling math students learn how to perform equations. The students competed against 12 other teams during the AT&T Foundry Hackathon, hosted the weekend of Sept. 14.
By Conner Hammett,
Published: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 5:27 PM CDT
A team of Plano East students put their computer science skills to work this weekend when they won first place in a competition to develop an innovative application for the Android smartphone platform.
The AT&T Hackathon was held Sept. 14-15 at The AT&T Foundry development center in Plano. The competition gave developers and designers from the Dallas-Fort Worth area a little more than 24 hours to develop an app intended to help increase the high school graduation rate.
The Plano East group, comprising Trent Davies, 17; Bilal Ayub, 16; Ahmed Khan, 16; Matthew Laux, 17; and Jimmy Khong, 17, won the contest with oculr, an app that takes camera phone-snapped pictures of math equations and searches the Internet for instructions on how to solve the problem.
"It was a great feeling, of course," Khong said of the victory. "Walking up there, all the people, professional developers, college people; they do this for a living, and they're all cheering us on. It was so amazing."
The group came up with the concept in less than five minutes at the competition's kickoff dinner, giving a 60 second lightning pitch to a crowd of 150 developers and returning the next day to begin technical work on the app.
"The scanning of images and converting it to text requires some pretty complicated technology and we weren't sure we could implement it," Laux said. "When we got there on Saturday, we weren't sure if it was going to happen, so we gave ourselves an hour with that idea ... but we did get something working, so we went with it."
The group presented a three-minute demonstration to judges and the audience using a prototype of the app later that night. Their award includes $500 in gift cards, $5,000 in donations to a nonprofit of their choice and a one-year subscription each to the GitHub software development web hosting service.
"The atmosphere was very chaotic," Laux said of the event. "It wasn't at all what we expected. We were expecting a few silent people people coding in a room with drab walls and cubicles, like any office building, but it really was like a crowd of enterprising technology wizards."
Multiple Hackthons are held by AT&T in cities across the country each year. Challenges have ranged from mobile web apps to programs intended to enhance health care services and prevent texting while driving.
The company started hosting the competitions about a year and a half ago, taking a cue from similar hacking contests and ultimately bringing the event to more than 20 U.S. cities, said Alex Donn, senior marketing manager for AT&T's developer program, which puts together the Hackathons.
"It's time set aside where they just go and tinker with the new tech and are able to bounce ideas off other people really quickly to build and produce a working application," he said. "The other half of the Hackathon is to meet people who are interested in starting start-ups, because a lot of the developers who go to these type of events are very entrepreneurial, and so it's a great opportunity to kind of test who you might be working with in a by-fire environment. There's no better way to test your potential teammate to build a project with him and see how everything pans out."
This weekend's event was the fourth in Plano. The educational focus was developed in tandem with AT&T's Aspire program, which aims to boost the graduation rate in U.S. schools. The company enlisted the help of local students to help develop the parameters for the contest, which will be held in five more cities after Plano.
"Education technology is really important today because students are engaging in technology outside of the classroom," said Carissa Cassin, director of communications, sustainability and philanthropy for AT&T. "They're surrounded by social media as soon as they step out of the classroom, so we would like to incorporate more technology in the classrooms to keep students engaged and see them succeed."
The group, which plans to stay together, may work with other groups, including the Four Teachers Project, a Hackathon team comprised of teachers who hope to simplify the state standards for public schools.
"After we finish developing it to a reasonably workable stage, we may get it patented," Bilal said. "We may coincide with other groups. There's a lot to look at here, so we're not completely sure. ... The whole experience in its entirety: meeting everyone, being able to connecting with other developers and being able to work in that environment was just phenomenal."

Best Uses
Comments about NRS Men's Black Rock Dry Pants: I originally received a pair of dry pants as a gift. After a year the gaskets gave way and tore. I sent an email to the great folks at NRS describing my situation. They had me send in the dry pants so they could assess them. After about a week or so I got an email saying they were sending me a new pair. Since receiving these, I've used them about 10 times. I wore them with just a bathing suit underneath on the Nantahala and was very comfortable. I've also worn them with wetsuit pants underneath recently and was pleased with how warm I was. When we were building waves recently on several rivers, I had to be in the water for quite along time moving rocks around. I did notice light leakage coming from somewhere in the pants legs. When I got out of the water, I had to empty out the legs. Overall I like the pants very much and am very pleased with the high level professionalism shown my this company. I would highly recommend any of their products to anyone in my sport. I also own an NRS throwbag which I can say for sure has rescued at least four people being swept away by the fast waters of the Ocoee River.

Graham realizes ASU culture change has effects
Originally published: Mar 26, 2012 - 2:39 pm
Three days on, then more than a week off for Spring Break. Many have raised an eyebrow about said schedule, but first year head coach Todd Graham has a logical explanation for it.
"It's such a drastic change, how we practice and what we're doing and what we're asking from them, especially from a conditioning and intensity standpoint," Graham told Doug and Wolf Monday on Arizona Sports 620. "We wanted to come in and pretty much stun 'em, and they get an idea of what it's about."
A lot has been made about the new style of practice Graham runs, with players literally being asked to sprint from drill to drill, on and off the field. The style has initiated a sort of "weeding out" process on the ASU roster.
Other items of note:
� Graham says suspended defensive end Junior Onyeali is making progress toward working his way back to the team.
"He hasn't done anything since I've been here but do everything I've told him to do," Graham said. " But on the same hand, I wanted to hold him accountable. Whether it's Coach Erickson or Coach Graham, our standards don't change as far as what are expectations are.
"He's working his way back and he's making great progress and I think he's growing and maturing as a young man. We're very hopeful that he's going to make it."
� Graham has thrown an interesting wrinkle in the three- way race for the quarterback position, by limiting the protection for the signal callers in practice.
"I don't like putting different-colored jerseys on them, I don't think you can learn how to play and not be live," he said. "We won't just take cold shots on them, and guys know not to hit them, but if you're going to work on a read-zone play, tagging off on the guy?
"[Michael] Eubank in practice the other day, he takes off running, this guy's almost 6-5 and almost 240, and you're blowing the whistle when somebody puts a finger on him?"
Eubank, along with sophomores Taylor Kelly and Mike Bercovici are considered candidates for the spot.
� ASU's spring practices resume Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. and are open to the public. Practices are held at the Kajikawa Practice Facility on Rural Road just north of University in Tempe.

Google has entered the tablet market with its own-brand Nexus 7, a tablet made by Asus which aims to be a game changer. Updated on 16/07/12.
The Nexus 7 is available to starting at the startlingly low price of £159. It's the first device to ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and offers a 7in screen and a quad-core processor. See also: Google Nexus 7 tablet vs Apple iPad comparison review.
See also: Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) review.
Google Nexus 7: Design
As the name suggests the tablet has a 7in screen as is therefore a small tablet. The Nexus 7 is respectably thin at 10.9mm and very light at 336g. See also Group test: what's the best cheap tablet PC?
It's designed to be held in portrait mode predominantly and we found it very comfortable in one hand, in either orientation. You can easily reach right round the tablet with one hand, like you would with a smartphone. The pint-sized dimensions of 120 x 199mm mean you can also put the tablet in the back pocket of your jeans or the inside pocket of a jacket. See also: is the Nexus 7 a good deal?
The front is one piece of glass only interrupted by a camera and light sensor surrounded by a silver metal frame. The back of the Nexus 7 is a dark brown, effectively black, textured cover which has a rubbery feel. The finish on the rear cover provides a good amount of grip and feels nice to the touch.
Physical buttons and ports are minimal with a power button and volume rocker on the right hand edge while a microUSB port and headphone jack reside on the bottom of the tablet.
There's also a 4-pin connector at the bottom of the left hand edge for use with future accessories like a docking station and a pair of stereo speakers sit at the bottom of the rear cover.
Google Nexus 7 video review
Google Nexus 7: Build quality
We've come to expect tablets with a price tag under £200 to offer poor build quality. However, the Nexus 7 throws this trend out of the window. Google's tablet is well made and feels like a premium product, almost making us double check the price.
The scratch resistant Corning glass sits neatly flush with the metal frame and the same is true of the rear cover. The buttons and ports also feel solid, not cheap and nasty like we've come to expect from budget tablets.
One very small quibble we found was rippling on the screen at the top and bottom edges. This is something we saw on the HTC One X and happened when putting pressure on the display. We're not suggesting that everyone will be pushing the screen like it's one giant physical button but it is more worrying in terms of traveling with the Nexus 7 in a bag, for example.
Google Nexus 7: Hardware
The Nexus 7 has a surprisingly good line-up of hardware for a tablet with a budget price tag. For starters it uses the same nVidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor found in many high-end tablets. This is backed up by a healthy 1GB of RAM.
In the GeekBench 2 test the Nexus 7 scored highly with an average of 1452 over three runs. This reflects how smooth the tablet runs and performs. In our Egypt HD gaming test, it scored a solid framerate of 14fps.
The highlight for us is the 7in screen which uses a backlit in-plane switching (IPS) panel with a resolution of 1280 x 800. The display has excellent contrast, brightness and viewing angles. The level of detail is high thanks to the 1280 x 800 resolution giving a pixel density of 216ppi. This is higher than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) which costs more.
We found the screen good for browsing the web, playing games but even more so for watching films and other video content.
Storage is limited at either 8GB or 16GB with the latter costing £199 compared to £159. It's worth noting that the full quoted capacity won't be available since the Android operating system uses around 2GB of the space.
Unfortunately a cost cutting measures mean there's no microSD for expansion. This is probably the biggest let down about the Nexus 7. Asus told us there is less focus on local storage with content stored in the cloud. However, the Nexus 7 isn't equipped with 3G capabilities.
There is 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi so you can tether the Nexus 7 to a smartphone for data on-the-go. Other connectivity includes Bluetooth, GPS and a near-field communications (NFC) chip.
In an attempt to save costs there's no rear facing camera present on the Nexus 7. This doesn't bother us much seeing as smartphone cameras tend to be better and more suitable to use. More importantly than a rear facing camera, there is a fairly decent 1.2Mp front facing camera for video chats, though.
There's no camera app pre-installed so you'll have to visit the Play Store to get some software to utilise the camera. We found the picture quality easily adequate for taking a few snaps and video calling.

dish alignmenti have a trav'ler sk-7002 with two shaw hd 600 receivers, both have the red light on (no signal), both used to be fine, trav'ler control indicates two satellites have been located, is it possible for the dish to loose its alignment? John
Re: dish alignmentJohnb,
It sounds like you have a receiver map conflict. Tune your receiver to channel 700. If it comes in, then you need to contact Shaw and have your receiver remapped for a quad dual Ku LNB type.
Re: dish alignmentThank you. All good now.
At one point Shaw was pointing at Winegard! Now I know.

French energy firm EDF has called for energy suppliers to increase Britain's nuclear capabilities.
EDF UK chief executive Vincent de Rivaz stated that companies should be looking to fill the skills gap by maximising the potential of nuclear energy generation, Building.co.uk reports.
"The opportunities for your businesses - for employment, for the experience that the UK can sell in a growing worldwide marketplace - are huge," Mr Rivaz told the news source.
"If the conditions are right and we get all the necessary consents, EDF will be doing it and we plan to do it first," he added.
EDF is set to oversee a new nuclear site in Somerset in 2013 and is looking for the support of Britain's energy suppliers to develop that foundation.
Meanwhile, British Gas plans to install new smart meters in UK homes to monitor energy consumption.
Like many energy suppliers, the company is looking to slash its carbon emissions, a goal that the new meters could achieve by abolishing estimated bills and allowing consumers to more closely regulate their gas use.

The incidental music (1875) he composed to a production of Ibsen's play Peer Gynt enjoyed enormous fame thanks to his arrangements of the music into two suites.
Grieg also collaborated with a number of other prominent Norwegian artists of his time, including the writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, with whom Grieg had a close though sometimes quarrelsome friendship. Bjørnson and Grieg planned on writing a national opera, though their project was never completed. Indeed, as he grew older, Grieg realized fewer and fewer large-scale works and instead focused his productivity on songs such as his cycle Haugtussa ("The Mountain Maid"—published 1898) and shorter works like his various Norwegian dances for orchestra or piano, including the Symphonic Dances of 1898. Still, his fame continued to grow and Grieg began touring extensively throughout Western and Central Europe, usually returning home to Western Norway in the summers to compose. His stature as the leading Norwegian musician granted him the opportunity to undertake projects like the music festival he organized in Bergen in 1898. His international fame was such that, besides counting many of the greatest composers of his time as friends, he was also a favorite of figures such as Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among Grieg's last works were an edition of Norwegian dances, known as slåtter for violin and piano of 1902, and the Four Psalms for male voice choir of 1906. He died in Bergen in 1907.
As important as nationalism was to these artists' careers, it is admittedly not the exclusive concern of their art. None of them were so one sided as that. Nationalism is simply the lens through which I view their careers in the present work; there are obviously many other valid ways of studying Wagner, Smetana, and Grieg. That said, there should be absolutely no doubt about their intent to make their works national, and so to create a national art music for their respective countries. Some, however, might dispute the extent to which these three composers' activities could be described as a self-conscious program. And it is in fact reasonable to ask whether Wagner, Smetana, and Grieg can really be considered social activists with a cultural/political project of their own. However, Wagner, Smetana, and Grieg do all count as committed and conscious nationalists, as "nationalist intellectuals" as per the definition in the next chapter.

Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
May 2102 - January 2013
Designed and curated by Richard Ellis, SHARK, a comprehensive exibit about sharks in art, literature, cinema, photography and conservation, opened at the Museum of Art / Fort Lauderdale (Florida). It includes photographs, films, sculpture, and posters, as well as paintings and reproductions representing the work of Charles R. Knight, Guy Harvey, Alexis Rockman, Robert Longo, Ray Troll, Don Ray, Stanley Meltzoff, and Richard Ellis. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY) has generously loaned us their copy of John Singleton Copley's "Watson and the Shark," but not Winslow Homer's Gulf Stream. The original painting by Roger Kastel, who did the most famous shark painting in recent history, the steak-knife-toothed shark on the cover of JAWS is on exhibit. There are shark sculptures made of rubber tires, automobile hubcaps, bronze, washing machine parts, stainless steel, and found materials, as well as a table made by a Los Angeles sculptor in the shape of a shark. There are 128 paintings from Princeton University Press's Sharks of the World, by Marc Dando illustrating the diversity of sharks; and sensational footage of various shark species underwater. Also included are the shark-tooth club in the Peabody Essex Museum and another from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, shark masks and headdresses, and various shark-related artifacts from The American Museum of Natural History's anthropological collection. Actual fossils of long-extinct shark species have been loaned by the American Museum of Natural History. Selected pieces from the world's largest collection of JAWS memoabilia are part of the exhibition.
SHARK: A VISUAL HISTORY, is the comprehensive
catalog of the show, which includes the artifacts, paintings, posters, etc. but
is also a book of about the place of sharks in our culture. There are chapters
on sharks in art, sharks in literature, sharks in the movies, sharks in the
wild, sharks in history, and sharks in our lives. The full-color catalog is
being published by Globe Pequot Press.

Twenty years ago, Sappi Fine Paper in Westbrook did absolutely no business in China, according to Sappi Supply Chain Manager Alan Blanchard.
Today, China is the company's biggest client.
The shift to overseas markets is a rising trend for the pulp and paper industry, so much so that it was the focus of the University of Maine Pulp and Paper Foundation's 62nd annual Paper Days, a two-day event that recently took place in Orono.
Paper mills have shifted from local paper-making operations into global companies whose products are used in unusual ways. Mills are generating — and in some cases selling — their own electricity from woody biomass, and some mills, like Sappi, are finding innovative uses for their wood products in foreign markets that extend beyond stationery, tissue and toilet paper.
"It's a little strange that a paper mill in Maine would know anything about fashion," says Blanchard.
Apparently, it does.
Sappi has retrofitted some of its Westbrook mill equipment to produce "release paper," a product used to manufacture clothing, sneakers, soccer balls, handbags and automobile interiors.
"We do textures," says Blanchard. "Our paper is a mold."
The process works like this: The mill purchases original textured materials, including cowhides and snake skins, and sends them to a vendor, who re-creates those textures on a steel cylinder. The mill then uses that cylinder to produce release paper, which is made from chemical cellulous derived from plant material. That textured paper is forwarded on to foreign manufacturers, which apply it to their fabrics.
"It's a valuable product and it works very well for our customers because they can reuse this paper," Blanchard says. "They can make 40 meters of coated fabric per meter of [release] paper."
Blanchard says 85% of the paper produced by its mills leaves the United States destined to about 54 countries; more than half lands in China. "My paycheck comes from China," he says.
The company can deliver "promo tubes" of its textures via UPS to prospective customers within four days of ordering, which Blanchard says is key, especially in the world of fashion. Full orders are sent through cargo ships, often times through ports in New York and Montreal, and arrive within 28 days to China and 13 days to Europe. "Time is everything," he says. "This is a styling business."
Sappi sends employees all over the world to research emerging fashion trends, he says, noting European fashion professionals also come to Westbrook.
Innovation is also key. Blanchard says the company employs five people to brainstorm "out-of-the-box" uses for Sappi's paper products. He says the group has devised a new product that is being marketed in the United States: a vinyl car wrap that allows owners to protect and change the color of their high-end automobiles.
"When you get sick of that [color] you can tear it off and put another one on," he says. "That's a growing market."
Innovation and branding are two areas that foreign competitors, especially China, are hoping to bolster in an effort to overtake the United States, according to Robin McCann, business director of paper and carpet for the Ohio-based Omnova Solutions, a global chemical company whose product is used in coated papers.
"[Research and development] and innovation is the edge we have," McCann says.
China is a fast-growing market, says McCann, noting China's middle class is expected to grow to 520 million people by 2025, "much exceeding the United States and the North American populations."
McCann says U.S. companies must continue to invest in technology, R&D, engineering and process expertise, and produce superior marketing and product quality to compete with, and inside of, China. "Whether we like to admit it or not, branding is what we do very well in the United States," she says.
Blanchard says Sappi is constantly trying to stay ahead of the competition — the "wolves that are at your back." The company places a strong emphasis on service rather than just concentrating on products, and is careful to learn and respect its customers'cultures.
Communication is especially important, says Blanchard, particularly when talking to Chinese clients and service providers. He says even Sappi employees who speak Mandarin need to do so with sensitivity, since the meaning of words can change with a simple, and unintentional, inflection.
Blanchard says Sappi is also filling that communication gap with technology. The company has information systems that track in real time what's happening on the floors of its mills, including Westbrook. That way, when mill managers like Blanchard are sleeping in the United States, work can continue in foreign lands.
"They know more about what's going on in our mills than I do, because they're awake," he says.
However, Sappi employees must also be adaptive and creative when trying to help foreign manufacturers, especially those that lack technology. Blanchard showed the Paper Days audience a slide of engineers posing with clients in India, who use large, antique scales to measure the resins for their coating lines.
"You have to go and work with them with what they have," he says.
Although he predicts release paper will continue to be a major part of Sappi's business, Blanchard says the company is always looking for different ways to apply textures to building materials, glass and the like.
"The most dangerous thing you can do is sit on your laurels," he says. "If your competition is gunning for you and you're complacent, you might not be No. 1 in the future."

DURANT – Seventeen young women, ranging from freshmen to seniors at Durant High School, competed for the title of Miss DHS on Saturday, March 9 in the DHS Auditorium. The pageant was emceed by Courtney Maye, Miss Southeast Oklahoma.
Brittany Trent, junior, was crowned Miss DHS 2013 at the end of a very exciting evening, which began with all seventeen contestants performing the opening number to "Set It Off."
Brittany is the daughter of Ronnie and Mandy Trent. She is very involved in Student Council, Jr. Class President, Varsity Debate Team Captain, National Youth Leadership Council Member, Oklahoma Honor Society and Superintendent's Honor Roll. Some of Brittany's honors include the National Society of High School Scholars, Who's Who Among American High School Student's, Masonic Fraternity's Scholastic Achievement Award, Kiwanis Community Service Award, and she is Ranked No. 1 in class of 211 students.
Her future goals are to attend Northeastern Oklahoma State University and become a Doctor of Optometry. Will Engle escorted Brittany. Will is a junior and the son of Gregg and Krystal Engle. Contestants competed in Interview, Casual Wear, Talent and Evening Gown phases of competition. In order to compete, the girls had to be a student at DHS and must have maintained eligibility. However, judges were seeking to find the young woman who would conduct herself appropriately and be a role model and ambassador of Durant High School.
More than 620 tickets were sold for the event; many of those tickets were sold by the contestants themselves.
"The community support of our young people is amazing," said Tascha Bond, DECA Advisor and Miss DHS Director. "Not only did the community attend the pageant, but they also donated great prizes to our contestants. DECA could not have made this event happen without our community."
Brittany Trent captured the title; however, her court included First Runner-Up Brittni White, Second Runner-Up Darian Carper, Third Runner-Up Savannah Park and Fourth Runner-Up Jasmine Lozano. Darian Carper was named Miss Congeniality by a vote of her peers, as well as announced as Most Tickets Sold for her 84 pre-sold tickets prior to the event. Sydney Wheeler was named Crowd Pleaser and Parker Elliott was named Escort of the Evening, which was voted on by the escorts themselves.
"The girls did an amazing job representing our school at the second annual Miss DHS pageant," said Bond. "They were very supportive of each other throughout the entire process. I can see that the pageant helped many of them in many different ways. They are already talking about competing next year."
DHS Marketing and Personal Financial Literacy students were instrumental in the success of the event. They were responsible for the development of the theme, music, set décor, and the production of the event. Each class served as a committee for the Miss DHS Pageant. Those included Awards Committee, Promotion Committee, Pre-Production Committee and Production Committee. The Miss DHS pageant was a DECA fundraiser and will help further the marketing and management program, as well as help students prepare for state and national competition.
The Miss DHS pageant awards were made possible through in-kind donations from the community. Those donors included: Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Murray State College, Carl Albert State College, Eastern Oklahoma State College, Indian Nation Wholesale, Cricket Box Jewelry, Landmark Bank, First Texoma National Bank, Shamrock Bank, First United, University Auto Spa, JJ Mundi, Bliss Boutique, All About Smiles Dentistry, Brantley's Flowers and Gifts, Studio One Photography, 1832 Steakhouse, The Oasis, Hair Repair, Salita's, Cool Rayz, Taco Casa, JJ's Shaved Ice, Hot Shots Coffee, Cherry Berry, Medicine Store, Marie's, The Pink Door Boutique, Bella Rose, Merle Norman Kim Carlton, Avon Jim Coats, Imperial Barbers, Scentsy Ashley Hampton, The Hollow Tree, Cole's Garage, Mike Turner Automotive, Roma Italian Restaurant, Old Ice House, The Spin Cycle, Blockbuster, Main Street BBQ, Wal-Mart, Chicken Express, Sheer Madness, Nails Plus, Marco's, Merle Norman Generations, McDonald's, Southern School of Beauty, Pizza Inn, Reflections, Whataburger, Dairy Queen, Fancy Nails, Domino's, Trends, The Movie House, Cinemark Sherman, Okie Donuts, Friends and Company, and Smart Style.
DVDs of the Miss DHS pageant are available for purchase. Please contact Tascha Bond, DECA Advisor at 580.924.4424 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Britain's in dire straits, but queen just got a big fat raise
6/21/2012If Queen Elizabeth goes on a hat-buying binge this weekend, we'll know why. Despite Britain's ongoing recession, the still-Jubileeing royal will receive a whopping 20 percent raise, bringing her annual salary to $56 million. The source of Libby's riches (we call her Libby because she waved right at us once) is the thriving Crown Estate, a collection of properties that include shops in some of London's swankiest areas. The Crown Estate gives all of its profits to the country's finance ministry; under new laws, the queen's cut will be 15 percent of the estate's profits from two years ago. It's complicated but necessary, ensuring that her haul will "rise and fall" with the British economy. Regardless, that's a sh*tload of pastel outfits.
Should the royal family get 'raises'?

HGTV "My Yard Goes Disney"
This may seem like a bit self-promotional, but its just too cool to not share.
Earlier this year, I was approached by HGTV producers to sell them a variety of kites for use in their show, "My Yard Goes Disney"... They picked a number of kites from my inventory, and I hand-delivered the kites to them in Orlando.
At the time, they didn't know when they were going to air the episode (otherwise I would have told everyone), but it aired in June.
But I recently became aware that it is now available for viewing online.
Check it out here : http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-my-yard-goes-d … index.html
The episode is "Epcot Inspired Backyard" that features kites from Gomberg Kite Productions International, New Tech Kites, and HQ Kites.

Unfortunately for me (and maybe all of Region 13?) the message I see is "Sorry, the requested video cannot be found" - which we have to assume means copyright issues for out-of-USA...?

Well, that sucks Linda, I wasn't aware that they would put copyright limitations internationally (I guess that shows how US centric I am)...
I was never happy with the video player option on HGTV, but it's the only place to view the episode without seeing it on television... And it really only shows the kites in the last 2 minutes.

Home > Current Students > Curriculum > Courses & Materials by Semester > Course Details Course DetailsConsumer Protection
Description:Consumer Protection Clinic students represent individuals who are victims of marketplace fraud or who have disputes regarding consumer credit, debt collection, predatory lending, or similar matters. The clinic also partners with local law firms, non-profit organizations, and state agencies to bring broader enforcement actions, draft legislation, or assist with other advocacy projects in the area of consumer protection. Representative cases and projects include the following: defending an elderly woman who fell victim to a home contracting scam and was later sued by a check cashing company related to a check written to the scammer; drafting legislation to amend the Minnesota debt management program law, and bringing suit against a real estate agent who sold a house to a Somali family without disclosing his ownership interest in the home. The clinic is a year-long course open to second-year and third-year students, beginning in the fall semester each year. The first-semester students receive four credits (including three credits for the classroom component). The second-semester students receive three credits. Some cases will be handled by the student individually, while more complex cases will be handled by teams of students. Consumer protection matters are filed in all forums, including federal and state courts. Students are likely to be involved in drafting complaints, discovery, motion practice, and negotiations. |

No matter what I do or try, I can´t create or join a multiplayer game, in SoA or ToB. When I try to create or join a game, it freezez for a sec and then crashses. I´ve tried reinstalling / removing everything related with baldur´s gate, I´ve tried running in compatibility mode, as administrator, shutting off firewall, installed the latest patch, all the fix packs, tried without them, tried window mode and without. I rly dont know what els to do. Thx a bunch!
in this case its either a corrupted version of the game, or a system malfunction. Does it work with other games? Have you installed some tunnelling or loopback adapters. Not saying they are responsible, but they could mess up the net detection of a game.
my firewalls detect it and it is allowed, I dont know what it could be. it works fine everywhere els, and it worked fine at first. It was when, I copied a character file from my bg1 tutu game. After that, it´s been like this.
Well remove that that character from game folder and try again. Mb the game checks all chars and cannot get past this one.
I did, and it didn´t work :/.. but what did work.... my going complete rage mode and went monkey tonkey on my keyboad, while trying to create a game..... BAM! Now it works old games oO cant understand them..

Adrian at ESMOD Show
JAKARTA, INDONESIA – NOVEMBER 17: A model showcases designs on the runway by Adrian as part of the ESMOD Show on day four of Jakarta Fashion Week 2009 at the Fashion Tent, Pacific Place on November 17, 2009 in Jakarta, Indonesia. (Photo by Graham Denholm/Getty Images) Day 4 of Jakarta Fashion Week 09/10 is a particularly exhilarating one with its lineup of amazingly talented young designers. ESMOD Jakarta gathered 9 of their alumni and put together a show, which gave everyone a glimpse of what the future of Indonesian fashion would look if these talents were allowed to blossom. Even though Indonesia's senior designers are superb couturiers, most Indonesians do not have access to their work unless by special appointment. These vibrant young designers respond to a growing demand for more Ready To Wear lines for the sophisticated young market in need of fashionable yet practical style solutions to accommodate their daily activities.
One of the standouts was Sapto whose collection was pure couture. Inspired by Joan of Arc, his finale piece was a structured armor covered with tiered fringe?a perfect and befitting illustration of his immaculate craftsmanship. Another designer who drew loud applause was Evelyn Fransiska, who invoked Roman grandeur in her collection. It was brilliantly styled and curated?a testament to the maturity of her vision and creative direction. Following the ESMOD Jakarta show was a showcase of another three emerging young designers sponsored by Mazda: Stella Rissa, Jeffrey Tan and Mel Ayhar. Each of them presented distinctive collections that reflect their individual styles and they did so confidently. Rissa?s pastel colors were unabashedly feminine while Tan?s sexy nuns were bold and unafraid of their sexuality.

"Any customer who has water needs due to any medical disabilities needs to please contact city hall at 489-4321," urged Pontotoc Mayor Jeff Stafford.
"If it is imperative that you must be notified when this meter work is to be done at your home, please call us immediately."
The city's old manually read water meters will be systematically replaced with new electronic water meters which will be read via a computer drive-by.
"It's going to take less than an hour at each household to replace the meter," Stafford said.
"It's going to be about a three month process."
"Workers with Master Meter are going to be the guys at your meter doing the work," he said.
Stafford said the meter conversion will begin in the southeast section of the system, including Primrose.

Almost everyone is afraid of something and most of the time these fears keep us safe. However, some fears are stronger than usual and become phobias. The word phobia comes from a Greek word meaning "to be frightened." Arachnophobia, or fear of spiders, is one of the more common phobias. Here are some others:
Agoraphobia—the fear being in open spaces
Coulrophobia—the fear of clowns
Glossophobia—the fear of speaking in public
Nosophobia—the fear of catching a disease
Acrophobia—the fear of heights
Phasmophobia—the fear of ghosts
Some people are afraid of things that seem very unusual.
Triskaidekaphobia—the fear of the number 13
Zoophobia—the fear of animals
Amathophobia—the fear of dust
Macrophobia—the fear of long waits
Chromophobia—the fear of colors
Do you have any phobias?

We need to win out and the last two games are against sub 500 teams.
Can we get in to the playoffs?
Still hope, then maybe get Jennings and Urlacher back, Jefferies gets into a groove and you just never know.
Yeah I'm an indefatigable optimist.

Yeah I'm an indefatigable optimist.
AZ could be a win and the Kitties are more cold than hot. Might win one but that's a 50/50 proposition at best.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!
Even winning out may not make the playoffs. Not sure I would like to see the Bears go to the playoffs, unless by some miracle they make a big turn around.
Without weaponz it's just another airline!
I am here to chew bubble gum and kick butt and I am all out of bubble gum!
I'm thinking that AZ is a win - 95% and I'm thinking Detroit is a win but close - like 55%. Not very sure of myself on the Detroit game. The two teams are closer than we would like to admit.
CAN the Bears win out, yes. WILL they? No way to be sure.
AZ has been playing poorly for quite some time now, but one should never underestimate the ability of the Bears to snatch stunning defeat from the jaws of certain victory... But the Cards have been awful on offense, and sadly defense is still what the Bears do fairly well. I look for this one to be a defensive slug out in which something finally goes right for the Bears giving them just enough to win.
Bears @ Lions, season closer. This one could go either way. The Lions WILL be in a position to knock the Bears out of the playoffs. I expect the Lions to to be fired up.
I've been saying the Bears would go 10-6 and a wildcard all year long... While it isn't impossible, the odds are getting slimmer... Particularly on the wildcard part. I doubt the tiebreakers will favor the Bears.
We just have to wait and see.
"Professional Armchair Quarterback" and other oxymora.....
Would you rather have the Texans and the Packers? That is who the Vikings still have.
Our schedule is better, too bad our team is not better.
I'm guessing no better then .500. And Minny and Wash are in front of us. Ya Vike's havce the Texans and GB but I believe both have their 1st round bye's tied up, and if that is the case then I'm not sure they will be going for the win's.
Wash on the other hand, is playing really well, and I'm not sure what their schedule is, but I bet it's hard to imagine them winning out.
Can they? Sure. Will they? Doubtful.
But, the Vikes and Skins have the tie breaker over us. Vikes have a tough schedule, but the Skins have the Eagles and the Cowboys. They skins are who worry me. We could run the table and still miss the playoffs
Philly and Dallas remain for the 'Skins
"Professional Armchair Quarterback" and other oxymora.....
