Finally, a follow up to the Bridal Shower Invite I posted at the end of March. The peacock themed lingerie bridal shower went off without a hitch, and was a great celebration of one of my best friends who will be getting married this summer. I co-hosted with the Mom of the bride and the shower was held at her house, so I took full advantage of the time I didn't have to spend cleaning my own house and got extra creative with crafty decor.
Shower Invite
Once we decided on a color scheme and looked around for party supplies and paper to make the invites, it was clear that we had to go all-out with a peacock them.
I found this great geometric paper, which is remenicent of the jewel toned pattern in a peacock feather. No need to buy pricy invitations when you can easily print them on card-stock at home and add specialty paper and ribbon to tie them into the color scheme. For these, I used a strip of colorful paper to the left and wrapped one simple ribbon around the seam for some interest.
I also made a recipe card to go in each invitation envelope. Guests were instructed to fill out a great newlywed recipe for the bride-to-be and bring to the party.
Recipe Keepsake Book
When guests arrived, I gathered all of the recipe cards and compiled them into a special recipe keepsake book that I made ahead of time.
To make the book, I used chip board (which is basically a scrap-bookers term for cardboard), and wrapped each page in coordinating paper. I punched holes to the left, with my
industrial strength hole punch, and used 3 ring bindings to hold it together. To keep the hinge of the rings from shifting, and for extra flare, I added coordinating ribbon tied to each ring. In the front cover I put the Bride & Grooms initials, and the back had the Bridal Shower Invite pasted in so she will forever have it.
Everyone brought a recipe card, and even some guests that couldn't make it were nice enough to mail one in ahead of time with a nice message.
The bride-to-be loves to cook, so this was a great activity that made sense for her shower and didn't require wrapping ourselves in toilet paper wedding dresses and strutting our stuff down the living room runway (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Magnet Favors
The Mom of the bride came across a great idea to create square glass magnets with coordinating patterned paper and give them away as shower favors. Her inspiration came from Sabby in Suburbia and Simply Modern Mom.
She purchased square glass tiles from the craft store and we used colored pattern tiles she found from The Hourglass Studio on Etsy. She printed them on photo paper and we cut out the ones that were relevant to our color scheme. We used E6000 glue to attach the paper tiles to the glass and glued the magnets to the back. To package them, she attached washers to cardstock and each magnet stayed in place on a washer. Cello bags with coordinating paper and ribbon finished them off.
Fabric Backdrop
In order to make a statement with our color scheme and have the food and decor 'pop', I decided to construct a large fabric backdrop to hang on the wall, complete with the bride and grooms initials.
I'm so glad that I made this, as I'm sure I'll be wrapping a different fabric around it and using it at my house for other parties down the road.
First, I measured the space above the table that I planned to hang the backdrop above. Then, I measured my car, to make sure I could actually transport it.
With the help of my hubby, we constructed a simple frame from inexpensive trim (even less expensive because my dad just happen to have this on-hand). We nailed in extra support at each corner, and that was it!.
Next, I laid my fabric, face down, on the floor and centered the frame on top of it. I used a staple gun and stapled the fabric on the back side of the frame. I did one side, and then pulled the fabric tight and stapled the other side. Repeating the same for the top and bottom sides. One suggestion is to double check that your pattern looks straight. I measured the distance of where the design elements hit on each side and tried to even it out as much as possible before stapling.
I picked up the jumbo letters at my local craft store along with some acrylic paint. Unfortunately, they don't make an ampersand symbol, so I had to get creative and make my own 'and' symbol out of a 'B' and another strip of wood. I tied a coordinating ribbon around each letter and stapled the ribbon to the top of the frame. We were able to hang the frame on three nails, without adding any fancy hanging wires. The frame set directly onto the nails.
Mediterranean Spread
This was an afternoon shower, so for lunch we chose to do a mediterranean themed menu. It was probably one of the easiest shower menu's I've had the pleasure to contribute to in a while (maybe because I only had to make a few things).
We divided up menu items, which made it easy to pull it together the morning of the shower.
The Mom of the bride made Marinated Shrimp, Roasted Red Pepper Crostini's, Chicken Souvlaki Skewers, Greek Salad, and Pita & Hummus. I made a Feta & Tomato Orzo (a Rachel Ray recipe), and a large Antipasto Spread including a variety of olives, greek cheeses, salami, prosciutto, roasted garlic, peppers, two tapenades, and roasted vegetables (I outsourced the roasted veggies to my Mom who is an amazing cook and of course they were a hit!).
Mom of the bride found these amazing corset shaped cookies, which were done with peacock details to go along with the shower theme. These were a great dessert and also doubled as a second party favor since they were packaged in a cello bag to take. We spent hours 'ooh-ing and ah-ing' at the amazing frosting detail.
I made mini chocolate cupcakes to round out the dessert choices.
To save time, I used a box mix for the cake, but I added mini chocolate chips along with my Mom's secret box-mix trick. She told me to substitute 2/3 of the recommended water with cranberry jelly. The cranberry flavor made the chocolate taste even richer and they were super moist. I may never make chocolate cupcakes from scratch again. Of course, I had to make buttercream frosting from scratch; there are some things you should never take a shortcut on, and that is one of them.
To top off the 3 tiers of cupcakes I made round tags on appetizer skewers (which are slightly longer than a standard toothpick) with the bride and grooms initials. I printed the initials from my computer and used two sizes of circle punches to get the uniformed shapes. I've tried cutting circles the old fashioned way and it never works out.
Other Party Details
We had extra peacock 'flare' all around the party, like feather arrangements, and pretty peacock napkins, as well as peacock colors of deep teal & purple throughout.
Instead of the typical bridal shower activities, which were not fitting for this bride, the Mom of the bride hired a Mehndi Henna Tatto artist.
We weren't sure how many people at the shower would want to get a henna tattoo, but we were pleasantly surprised that almost everyone participated. The artist even did a peacock tattoo for one of the guests!
This was such a fun theme, and all for a beautiful Bride-to-be!

status and participation of women in stem disciplines and careers
The scientific work of women is often viewed with a national or regional lens, but given the growing worldwide connectivity of most, if not all, scientific disciplines there needs to be recognition of how different social, political and economic mechanisms impact women's participation in the global scientific enterprise. Studies within and across nations consistently show inverse correlations between levels in the scientific and technical career hierarchy and the number of women in science. This project convened a workshop that addressed the challenges, bringing to bear social science methods to identify strategies, core data, and important guidelines for implementing policies and procedures that will increase women's participation and advancement in the global science enterprise in chemistry, computer science, and mathematics.

Opinions wanted
Hi there guys
I've been working a site for a friend and it's almost finished so I thought I'd throw it out there to get some feedback and critiques.
Please let me know what you think as I'm really interested in professional designers' opinions on my work. Please be honest, but not cruel :mrgreen:
Thanks in advance,
DaveHey man,
Design-wise, I don't have a lot to critique. I love the log, btw. My only comments are based on my personal opinion of what I think most people like/are used to:
The site seems large with the brown navigation bar, the huge header section, etc. I would shrink it down a little bit.
I like the fades on the left and right of the main content, but I would lighten it up so it's more subliminal.
I don't know who his clientele is or what they respond best to, but the imagery needs some work IMHO. The lightbulb and hand has a very strange feel to it. The three people in frame one on the solutions page are awkwardly close together... Not to be a straight up jerk, but I would also remove his picture from the site.... or get a different tie...
Don't forget your metric pinch of salt ;)Thanks for the feedback, I have taken it onboard. Bit harsh to say that about the guy though maybe you are right about the tie.
Thanks again.Yea, I say that just from a Public Relations stand point. I look very young for my age, and when web developers are known for being flakes, looking young is not a good thing. So I don't have a picture of myself on my website... Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea to have a picture of yourself on your site (esp, if you are advertising yourself and your skills), and I'm trying to get some good "old-looking" pictures of myself, but so far no luck.
my 2 centsI agree, either remove the picture or just place it under the 'about' or 'contact' section and make it much smaller. It just makes people feel weird to have someone staring at them right off the bat, you know?
Otherwise, I think the site is great. Very easy to read and navigate, content is well put together and thought out. Good use of interactivity. Colors aren't my favorite, but that's just a personal preference. Great job!

Chapter 7 Introduction to Tort Law
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
- Know why most legal systems have tort law.
- Identify the three kinds of torts.
- Show how tort law relates to criminal law and contract law.
- Understand negligent torts and defenses to claims of negligence.
- Understand strict liability torts and the reasons for them in the US legal system.
In civil litigation, contract and tort claims are by far the most numerous. The law attempts to adjust for harms done by awarding damages to a successful plaintiff who demonstrates that the defendant was the cause of the plaintiff's losses. Torts can be intentional torts, negligent torts, or strict liability torts. Employers must be aware that in many circumstances, their employees may create liability in tort. This chapter explains the different kind of torts, as well as available defenses to tort claims.

COLUMBIA (WACH)--Advocates of sexual assault victims declare April 3rd a Day of Action in South Carolina.
April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, someone is raped every two minutes in the United States.
Tuesday, officials with the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (SCCADVASA) gathered at the Statehouse to talk about what's offered at sexual assault centers across the state.
"This year, SCCADVASA proclaims it's time...to talk about it and we encourage everyone to participate by using social media to join the conversation," says Executive Director Pamela Jacobs.
State Attorney General attended the Day of Action to recognize organizations and services working to educate and prevent sexual violence.
The Attorney General's office established the S.T.O.P Violence Against Women's program in 1996 to target criminal domestic violence and other abusive behaviors toward women.
Wilson says unfortunately most people think it's the complete stranger that they have to keep their guard up against but that's not the only case.
"It's the person you're an acquaintance with, possibly even related to and we have got to get people to keep their guard up," said Wilson, "just because you know someone doesn't eliminate them from being a potential predator."
Officials announced the annual event "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" will take place Thursday, April 12th at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center from 6 p.m to 8 p.m.

Hudson Valley Foie Gras's policies reflect the efforts of animal rights advocates. And now it seems that this facility has become very vested in being humane; it is a source of pride (Thank you Humane Society, ASPCA, PETA, and individual protesters).
If Hudson Valley Foie Gras's relatively humane practices result in high profits (the reason Grandin's practices have been widely accepted is that humane treatment of animals does result in higher quality, safer products leading to higher profits) then perhaps more farms will follow suit. All of our animals need to be raised at least as humanely.
We need to continue to demand higher standards for all of our farms; for all of our animals. We need to continue to be animal rights advocates, if not for compassion, at least for quality and safety for human consumption. Sarah DiGregorio ("You can buy humanely raised chicken, or you can buy chicken that's had a nasty, brutal life. The same goes for foie gras.") must recognize that the huge majority of farm animals consumed in the USA lead lives of horror and contamination, resulting in a dangerous food source (bad karma?). Most American simply turn a blind eye and ridicule a vegan instead. I hope she pursues this end.
Sarah DiGregorio neglected to address the quality of food fed to these ducks. The liver filters, biotransforms, and accumulates toxins. Consuming livers of animals gavaged with products loaded with pesticides is kinda gross. Maybe Hudson Valley Foie Gras can respond to this issue.

This is an interesting article on game design. It centers on the core mechanic (action) of the game. Jumping, Shooting, and so on. I think it presents an interesting possiblity for thinking about a game for learning. What is the main action focus for the learning? What do you want the learners to do as a result of the learning. How might that be represented in the game? Directly? in some metaphorical way?
What are your thoughts about the article and its possible use as one framework for learning design?
Designing around a Core Mechanic via Funstormgames.com
Brandon, Here is my take on it using some quotes from the article.
"The core mechanic in a game will usually be the purposeful interaction that occurs the most frequently. In a platforming game, this is usually jumping. In a shooter, it is usually shooting. In a racing game." In most e-learning it is just "click here" I think this is something to look at.
"The secondary mechanics are the interactions that happen less frequently." In elearning a matching quiz might be an example.
"Progression systems form the mechanical envelope of the game.." In e-learning this might vary a lot. Business simulations would rely heavily on the feedback from the game. Other's might be simple quizes that track progress.
"The Narrative layer is the outer most layer that puts all the inner layers within it into context." I think this is the "learning layer" in e-learning. It is the learning that sets the rest of the pieces into a meaninful experience. For example, you make business decisions that bring the company through a financial crisis.
I think the interesting question is the course mechanic. In games the core mechanic is actually a kind of skill you learn in the game "successful" jumping or shooting. In most elearning, the core mechanic is not designed as a skill to learn except maybe for flight simulations or similar. Perhaps a look at the match between narrative and core action is one of the issues that make some e-learning less engaging.
Hmmm. This is a really interesting model. He has 4 layers: the core mechanic, the secondary mechanics, the progression layer and the narrative layer. If you apply this model to a learning game, however, where is the "learning layer"? I see where it could be the secondary mechanic, because I get that the core mechanic has the elements required to make the game functional... however, in a learning game I hate to see the learning component in the secondary layer... thoughts?
Its an interesting idea that got me thinking about the way I design experiential games, primarily for the outdoors. The Core Mechanic idea kind of matches the basic types that I list in Making Games Work (www.makinggameswork.com), which you could label Think, Sense, Build and Move. Beyond that we have the interactions that will be related to the learning outcomes such as Change, Plan, Communicate which will happen often. There isn't always progression unless games are linked together but there is definitely a narrative layer around it all.

Doing macro photography outdoors "in the wild" often means that you can't get too close to your subject and lighting can't be easily controlled. Greater working distance means you can capture tight macro shots of small-scale wildlife without scaring it away, and you're not so close that you need special lighting to illuminate your subject.
View Brochure
You can get closer to your subject to capture low-angle shots of insects, flowers and other natural wonders -- and broad depth of field lets you keep backgrounds in focus too.
Speeds auto-focus response by limiting the range of distances that are brought into focus -- Close-up Range, or Telephoto Range.
Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.
Excellent optical precision gives your shots greater visual accuracy for close analysis of your subject.
In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate -- which improves handling ease.
In conjunction with the SteadyShot INSIDE® image stabilization system of Sony DSLRs, this lens captures bright, steady images even working with hand-held camera in low light.
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.

Beach Traffic Brings Booming Business to GreenvilleCBS 8 News is covering Greenville, where business is booming, as beach travelers make the city their one-stop shop.Business workers expect even more traffic flow in the next couple of weeks. Traffic is flooding interstate 65 as beach-goers, like Jack and Shirley Bonney, stop to fill their tanks and grab a bite to eat. In the last few years, bad weather, the BP oil spill and the economy have caused fewer travelers to head south. Chevron employee, Leslie Anderson, says that traffic has picked up lately. City officials are thrilled. "We feel like things are turning into the right direction, we're looking for a big year and a lot of beach traffic, a lot of traffic on interstate 65 and a lot of increase in sales tax revenue and that's what it's all about," says Dexter McLendon |

howzabout the background music to the excellent game of 'Rising Blocks'? And the other advantage is it is on a Linux game so no copyright issues like "Clubbed to Death"!

Some people who do not speak English as their first language don't realize that millions of people in the English speaking world still have respect for their mother tongue, are not vulgar, and are not pleased when facing vulgarity.

coon hunting round (4/5) | Jul 7, 2010 | Anonymous | ||
These are good for coon hunting the extra lead drops out coons nicely and they're not that loud so you dont have to worry about shooting around farm houses. I buy these all the time. |
Outstanding (5/5) | Jan 31, 2011 | harry w. whitley jr | greenville NC US | |
Shot this stuff through my remington 581 today. 25 yds 10 bullets in one hole. 50 yds 1 MOA or Minute of squirrell. Didn't shoot at 100 yda because I won't be shooting sqirrells or rabbits that far away. Aguila cycles beautifully through my magazine fed bolt action. Squirrell season runs till Feb 28 in my county of NC. Plan to find some big oaks to sit under and quietly harvest the main brunswick stew ingredient. I will be buying more of the 40 gr. subsonics for the range and bushytail harvesting. Shoot every chance you get and tell some liberal how much fun you had. May God bless you richly, Tarheel Infidel |

Violin Virtuoso Chad Hoopes Talks With FM89
By Joe Moore

In our interview, we talk to Chad about his development as an artist over the past two years, Lalo's famous work, his Stradivarius violin, and his upcoming plans after he graduates from high school.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Does a tanning booth give you a base tan so you won't burn in the sun?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Absolutely not! You can still burn even after getting tan in a tanning bed. Tanning bed companies promote their products as using UVA rays and falsely say that this type of exposure is safe. Actually, tanning beds emit UVA and UVB radiation. UVA rays are less likely to cause a sunburn than UVB rays. However, UVA rays cause deeper skin damage, are thought to damage the immune system. In addition, tanning beds can cause eye damage, including cataracts and melanoma of the eye.
The bottom line is, the amount of radiation produced by a tanning bed is similar to the natural sun and in some cases may be stronger.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series: Sun Safety and Skin Cancer Prevention Webchat. View the entire transcript on sun safety.

So Lady Trebuchet and I have decided to dip another toe into the 21st century and get smart phones. Service provider will be Verizon, as it is currently, since pretty much nothing else works at our alternate location. (And Verizon doesn't exactly work well!)
The choice is between an iPhone and one of the various Androids. What should we be looking for? Any major selling points for one vs the other? Note that Apple having 100,000 times the number of apps we'll ever use vs only 10,000 times for Android is probably not a major selling point!
Siri looks interesting but also a tad creepy. Anybody have one of those?

Celebrities today have a few faces, but, mostly, we see two: the primped, red-carpet ready face, and the raw, sunglasses-clad, "I'm just running to Starbucks in my sweatpants, why do you insist upon photographing me?" face. Falling almost completely off the radar, however, is the face that poses for magazine covers and fashion spreads: the Photoshopped face.
Of course, it's not always the face in the literal sense. In the case of Kim Kardashian's leaked pre-Photoshop Complex Magazine cover from this Spring (shown above), cellulite was offender. Kardashian handled the situation with grace, writing in her blog: "So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn't!? How many people do you think are photoshopped? It happens all the time!"
And she's got a point—virtually all celebrity covers are Photoshopped, but they're usually done too well for us to notice. If I saw the Kim Kardashian post-Photoshop picture on the right only, I doubt I would ask if it was true to life, mostly because I'm used to seeing celebrities who are porcelain-skinned, impossibly thin but still curvy, and without so much as a stray hair in sight.
But after seeing Kardashian's unedited photo, each celebrity magazine cover or ad that comes my way causes me to question what it would look like minus the editing and what would happen if they kept it. Would using a less perfect picture have been as empowering as seeing the beauty in the unedited Kardashian shot? Or is altering the way we look digitally no different from applying makeup and just another part of the art of a Photoshoot that I'm taking too seriously?
What do you think about Photoshopped celebrity photos? Is it harmless? Or is it part of a larger image problem with a simple solution?

"Not only for this store, but for anybody in retail these last two months are important," said Mike Barger, general manager of Kmart on Hicks Drive.
The National Retail Federation has predicted that retail sales during the final two months of the year will increase 4.1 percent over the same time frame last year. That's the good news.
The bad news is that a 4.1 percent hike would be a smaller increase than each of the past two years. Holiday sales went up close to 5 percent in 2010 and 2011.
Barger could not estimate off the top of his head what kind of a percentage of annual sales is generated at Kmart during the last two months of the year.
Even larger ticket items, such as jewelry, count heavily on the holiday shopper. Vann Knight, Knight's Jewelers in Mount Berry Square mall said big tickets items have slowed down. "We've had to change our approach, work a little harder to get to the same place," Knight said.
"When we go to buy stock for the seasons we've had to reassess how we buy just to reflect the price range people seem to be in."
He couldn't put a figure on the percentage of sales happen at his family's store in the mall.
"December in retail is definitely the make or break time of year, without it, it would be tough," Knight said.
The figures vary from one source to another. However, many retail industry experts project that the last two months of the year account for as much as 40 percent of annual sales.
Paula Conaway, owner of Paula's Boutique at 210 Broad St., said the number is pretty much on target. "I know that sounds like a lot but that's truly the case. Now like Lee's (furniture) next door, that's probably not the case, but for a gift store, the Christmas season is about 40 percent of your whole year," Conaway said.
The outcome of the whole year really hinges on the fourth quarter," Barger said.
Barger said Kmart in Rome also brings in additional staff for the holidays to handle the expected crush of shopper. He said when the final hiring is complete he expects to bring in more than 20 seasonal workers.
"We've already started the process, we've already hired quite a few and we're still looking," Barger said.
Conaway said she would bring in another five seasonal employees at her boutique on Broad Street and would be opening on Mondays, beginning this Monday, through the end of the years.
Holiday shopping is also considered a strong barometer of the attitude of the average John or Jane Doe toward the recovery of the economy.
There seems to be some positive feelings about the recovery of the real estate market across Northwest Georgia and consumers in the Rome area have been pleased to witness a continuing decline in gasoline prices that is expected to continue right through the holidays.
Conaway said the election year is typically slow, leading up to the election, but that once that is history, come Wednesday morning, she's hoping to see a significant increase in activity.
Frankie Ford, the longtime manager at Maurices apparel store at the mall, pointed out another important factor for retailers during the last two months of the year.
"It's also about making a great first impression on shoppers that might never have shopped with us before," Ford said.
She also takes advantage of the increased traffic by performing some community service activities. "You can bring in three items of non-perishable food or cans and get 20 percent of one regular proceed item," Ford said.
The local unemployment rate dipped below double figures when the September numbers were released earlier this month.
Hiring is under way at the Lowe's Regional Distribution Center and there is a general feeling that maybe, just maybe, things are beginning to turn around.
The $64 million dollar question is will that translate into an uptick at the cash registers around town during the course of the next eight weeks?
ShopperTrak, which keeps up with activity in more than 25,000 stores across the country, projects a 3.3-percent increase in retails sales for the last two months of the year. The retail watchdog is forecasting a nice increase in apparel and accessories, but declines in electronics and appliances.
ShopperTrak is also reporting that 92 percent of all major purchases will take place in standard brick and mortar stores as opposed to on-line.
The Greater Rome Chamber of Commerce devotes considerable resources to its Shop Rome campaign during the holiday season. Chamber President Al Hodge said the last two months of the year are critically important.
"That's a part of why we have a special effort to encourage folks to Shop Rome at this time," Hodge said.

Though it's been open for more than a year and already graduated its first class of students, Burnaby Central Secondary School got a red carpet grand opening ceremony Tuesday.
The $55-million facility drew Premier Christy Clark and a host of local elected officials and dignitaries.
It was something of a homecoming for Clark, who graduated from the Burnaby school district, and whose father taught math to board chair Larry Hayes at Central.
"This school is an example of how, when government decides to invest its money well, it goes a long way. Over the coming months and years and decades, what you are going to demonstrate is how this pays off in the long term for British Columbians," Clark said to the students invited to the event.
Clark touted the school as the perfect springboard for what she predicts will be a robust job market for graduates in the years ahead. The school has state-of-the-art facilities like a competition-sized double gymnasium, a three-bay autoshop, e-lab, outdoor track and field facilities good enough for international competition, a professional training kitchen, and a dedicated theatre and dance studio.
"In the next 10 years, if we play our cards right, if we're purposeful and if we stick to a plan, there will be a million job openings in British Columbia," she said. "And the education that will be provided at this school, with the spaces that are created for trades training, for chef training, opportunities for people to lead our communities together through the arts .B.C. students will be first in line for those million jobs."
The otherwise jovial mood of the Clark's speech turned sombre when she brought up Amanda Todd, the 15-year-old Coquitlam student who took her own life after years of torment from bullies.
"Amanda's message to us was that none of us should be bystanders - that all of us have a special role to play in making someone else's life better, that all of us have the opportunity to stand up and make a difference," she said.
Clark urged the students to never miss an opportunity, big or small, to reach out to someone nearby in need.
The highlight for the 150 students attending was a screening of the Burnaby Central LipDub - a seven minute-long music video featuring hundreds of Central students dancing, lip-synching and hamming it up in front of the camera as it tours the school in one highly choreographed and synchronized take.
The ceremony ended just before the 3 p.m. bell and the atrium filled with curious students, snapping pictures of the premier with their smartphones, and enjoying cake prepared by the school's culinary students.
"It's definitely a huge improvement. I think it's great," said Grade 8 student Navien Kumar, whose sister attended the old Central.
But he and fellow student Oliver Merrett-Hiley harboured some skepticism about the school's cost and the grand opening.
"I think this is just a photo opportunity for (Clark), like just a feel-good story," Oliver said of the event.
Despite admitting that he's not a fan of the premier, the precocious Grade 9 student bounded off to get his photo taken with her.
"Hey, she's a high-ranking person. Why not?" he said after.

The thrill over becoming the Lakers' coach doesn't just involve a chance to win an NBA title. It also entails how he hopes to reach it.
"We would love to be able to play `Showtime'-type basketball," D'Antoni said Thursday at his introductory news conference at the Lakers' practice facility. "They may have done it the best. But we would like to get someplace close to that."
D'Antoni plans to reach out to Magic Johnson for feedback to replicate that proud era in which the Lakers won five NBA championships in the 1980s.
But D'Antoni might want to wait. Johnson might still be stewing over his actual arrival.
"I don't feel Mike D'Antoni is the right coach for the Lakers," Johnson said Wednesday evening on ESPN's "NBA Countdown." "Especially when you have Phil Jackson sitting out there, who wanted to be the Lakers' coach."
Instead, the Lakers gave D'Antoni a three-year, $12 million contract with a team option for a fourth season three days after firing Mike Brown after a 1-4 start. Even if D'Antoni has quickly latched on to the Lakers' winning culture, he will mark that process in steps.
D'Antoni led his first practice as the Lakers' coach walking on crutches after having knee replacement surgery earlier this month. He also revealed he went through Thursday's practice on pain medication.
That's why D'Antoni ruled
"I don't want to put too much on them," he said. "We have to win games by our energy level until we get this sorted out."
No, these current Lakers won't exactly run D'Antoni's dubbed "seven seconds or less" offense. Not when the team's starting lineup averages 32.6 years in age. But D'Antoni envisions an offense in which no players will feel inhibited, they'll find easier baskets and they'll have fun doing so.
That's why he spent his first practice going over pick-and-roll sequences and emphasizing one message.
"Score," Lakers center Dwight Howard said. "He said we should be scoring 110 points per game. We have to find ways to score. The biggest thing for us is getting stops on the defensive end. That's going to be key, especially in the playoffs."
But first things first.
The Lakers might have more adjustments beyond D'Antoni leading practice with crutches. D'Antoni's brother, Dan, joined the team's coaching staff and ran drills. But Mike D'Antoni kept open the possibility he'd retain at least some of the Lakers' assistants, including Bickerstaff, Darvin Ham, Chuck Person, Eddie Jordan and player development coach Phil Handy.
There are also personnel issues.
Injuries kept guards Steve Nash (fractured left leg) and Steve Blake (lower abdominal strain) out of practice. Forward Jordan Hill practiced, though he'll have to monitor a sprained right wrist suffered earlier this week. D'Antoni conceded he doesn't know the ideal minutes he will play Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Nash. And Howard revealed he feels 75-80 percent of his full capabilities after having back surgery seven months ago.
"I have to get my explosiveness back to where it lasts in longer periods of the games," said Howard, who has averaged 19.3 points on 62.5 percent shooting and 11.1 rebounds in 35.3 minutes per game. "In the first couple possessions, I might be jumping very explosive and all that stuff. As I get fatigued, my legs start to go and I don't have that same lift. The timing. All that stuff will come."
D'Antoni opened practice with a highlight tape featuring his players' best performances. He spent most of the practice constantly going over pick-and-roll sequences.

Riders for this group should have experience riding in groups and understand the etiquette of group riding, be able to change a tire and address minor mechanical issues. Riders should come expecting a challenging road ride and bring the proper equipment. Please don't wear headphones or bring tri-bars on a group ride. We typically ride out against the wind and have a tailwind on the way home as nature intended. Speaking of nature, expect one "nature break" around 20 miles into the ride, and one store stop around the mid-point of the ride.
Wheels down at 8:15am.
Route: routes will vary.
Pace: 17-18 mph for 50-60 miles. Moderate pace with some stops, but it is not a "no drop" ride.
What you need to bring: road bike, clipless pedals, helmet, bike in good working condition, the experience and tools to change your own flats, water and nutrition. Please no headphones/radios. We encourage you to ride your bike down to the shop. If you do drive, please park in the street. For pre-ride coffee or snack, meet at Juan Pelota Café a half hour before ride time.

EPL Fantasy saw a number of fine performances from Barclays Premier League players in their midweek Champions League encounters. Both Arsenal and Manchester City finished the day with 2-2 draws, one leaving the Gunners in second place and the other all but closing the book on the Citizens European aspirations. We've already published one post this week, yesterday's Up The Tweets!, and will endeavor to have more new content tomorrow.
The Fantasy Premier League site is experiencing some difficulties and we're using more statistics from EPL Index than normal. Our thanks to their Stats Centre – to subscribe use this link.
Manchester City 2-2 Ajax
Yaya Toure 22′
Sergio Aguero 74′
Manchester City starting XI: Hart; Nastasic Zabaleta Kompany Clichy; Nasri Garcia Barry Yaya; Tevez Aguero
Substitutes: Balotelli (Garcia 45′); Dzeko (Tevez 66′); Kolarov (Barry 85′)
While the result does nothing for Roberto Mancini's side but stave off the inevitable, the goals for Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero are a welcome site for a side with two goals in their previous three fixtures. In Barclays Premier League action, City was held scoreless against West Ham last time out and managed only one goal in their 1-0 home win over Swansea the weekend before.

Brian Keith Soileau, 42, robbed a Pine Prairie bank a year ago.
He escaped from the Pine Prairie Correctional Center on Oct. 13 and laid low in rural Evangeline Parish until robbing another bank on Oct. 25.
That robbery set off a chase/manhunt through Louisiana and Texas and into Oklahoma, where Soileau was spotted in a Walmart by an alert state trooper and subsequently run to ground.
Soileau pleaded guilty to armed robbery, theft of a firearm, simple burglary, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and illegal use of a weapon.
He faces a maximum of 143 years in prison.
Prior to the first bank robbery last year, Soileau used heavy equipment in an attempt to steal an ATM from a Pine Prairie business.
His wife, Anna, was charged in connection with the first bank job and with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact of simple escape stemming from his breaking out of the correction center.
Status of the charges against her was not immediately available.

Sneakerhead Sneaker Watch 7/9-7/11
The sneaker community is coming off of a strong release weekend and those who were able to pick up footwear from last Saturday have begun showing them off throughout the week. The Zoom Kobe VII "What the Kobe" was one of the most sought after kicks and it still remains one of the more desirable releases which is why we feature it in this edition of Sneakerhead Sneaker Watch along with the "Pearl Blue" 9 lows. The Air Jordan 9 is set to make a return later this year in a big way and there's nothing like revisiting a classic from 2002.
As we take a look at the extensive amount of photos in this set, we get a good look at even more Olympic-styled footwear as many sneakerhead-sports fans are gearing up for this Summer's London games. From the Air More Uptempo to the recently released Air Jordan 6, the USA-styled sneakers continue to be a major hit among those in the sneaker community.
Check out the large gallery of images and let us know what yout favorite sneaker is. Also remember to tweet our #SneakerOfTheDay hashtag on Twitter and show us what your rock on a daily basis. Props to Niketalk.

Merchant fraud is an unfortunate loss many business owners may encounter. Risky Business: Protecting Your Business from Theft and Fraud is a free workshop offered to teach small business owners how to be on guard for merchant theft and fraud and take the necessary steps to prevent it. The event will take place on March 21, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Durant Area Chamber of Commerce, 215 N. 4th Avenue, Durant.
Topics for the workshop include preventative measures to protect businesses against shoplifters, how to spot shoplifters and stop them, tips on stopping credit card and check fraud, available resources to assist in theft/fraud prevention, and cyber-security strategies.
"This is a workshop businesses can't afford to miss," said Tara Hull, Coordinator, REI Women's Business Center. "While a business of any size could experience theft or fraud, small businesses are often affected more. Any small loss can become a huge burden to business finances and assets."

Event partners are Durant Area Chamber of Commerce, Durant Main Street, OSU Extension, Choctaw Nation, OkSBDC, SE Center for Economic Development, Southern Workforce Board and REI Women's Business Center, funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

It's Now Dead Obvious Asia Doesn't Need The West Anymore
2010 is the year that emerging markets economies, particularly in Asia, will show the world how they are far less dependent on Western developed nations than they used to.
While the world economy fell in unison during the financial crisis, there have been stark differences in economic performance during the rebound. The U.S., Europe, and Japan, are rebounding but their expected growth is tepid due to lingering debt overhangs and unemployment which could take years to shake off.
Meanwhile, emerging Asian nations are going gangbusters. The WSJ chart below highlights how stark the difference is when it comes to GDP growth. Note how China and India have just kept growing throughout.
Yet most telling is the cause of Asia's relative strength. How come the strong rebound despite continued weakness from the U.S. and European consumer? It's due to the emerging market consumer, who has now dethroned the American consumer as the #1 growth driver.
WSJ: The other countries in the neighborhood [of China] are benefiting, offsetting some of the weakness in exports to the U.S. by exporting more to China or drawing more tourists from China. Among Asian economies, those more tightly linked to China—such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore—have been growing fastest. But Asian consumers are doing their part, too. Auto sales in Malaysia in January were up 33% from a year earlier, for instance; India's were up 50%. In contrast, U.S. vehicle sales were up only 6% in January.
Indeed, one milestone passed without much notice during the crisis. Emerging-market consumers, more numerous and better off than they were a couple of decades ago, outspent American consumers for the first time in modern history.
When anyone speaks of Asian economic decoupling from the West, it has to be clarified that decoupling is a matter of degree. Surely Asia will never be completely immune to what's happening in the U.S. and Europe. Yet it's clear that Asia has becoming increasingly resistant to problems in the West, to the point that it can show robust growth even while the developed world remains in crisis. That has to fit at least some definition of decoupling.
