Ph.D. students in English may take minors in the following departments and programs: American studies, African American and African Diaspora studies, art history, comparative literature, cultural studies, English and German philology, film studies, folklore, French, gender studies, German, Greek, history, Italian, journalism, Latin, linguistics, medieval studies, performance studies, philosophy, religion, Renaissance studies, Slavics, Spanish, theatre and drama, Victorian studies, and West European studies. Requirements for the minor are set by the minor department.
The Department of English offers the following minors: American literature, British literature, children's literature, pedagogy, creative writing, English and Germanic philology, English language, literary theory, and textual studies. Minors within the department must be approved by the director of graduate studies.
Qualifying Examination
Upon completion of doctoral course work, students will prepare and take a doctoral qualifying examination. The examination consists of two parts: an oral examination based upon a reading list and the defense of a written dissertation prospectus. Assuming the student enters the program without an M.A., the exams are taken in his or her fourth year in the program. The oral examination tests a student's qualifications as a specialist in his or her chosen field; the prospectus and defense test a student's qualifications and readiness for undertaking the dissertation. Part one of the exam is taken in September; the prospectus should be completed the following spring and defended by the second week of May. Students pursuing a dual-degree PhD are allowed some flexibility in the timing of the qualifying exam. Further details of the procedure are available from the director of graduate studies (director of graduate studies).
Dissertation Prospectus/Research Proposal
Following the successful completion of the first part of the qualifying examination, the student names his dissertation committee and registers for W795, the dissertation prospectus writing workshop taught each spring by the director of graduate studies. The prospectus and bibliography are written in consultation with supervisory faculty and with the instructor of W795. When the prospectus is ready to be approved, the student submits it to his committee and arranges a time for the defense of the prospectus (which constitutes the final part of the Qualifying Exam). In this two-hour oral exam, members of the dissertation committee examine the claims of the prospectus as well as the dissertation research proposed, and assess the student's preparedness to undertake a long-term independent research project. The committee may ask for further revisions of the prospectus. The student must revise the prospectus as needed and submit it to the director of graduate studies no later than the end of May. The prospectus may be re-submitted and the defense repeated once within 6 months of the first attempt.
Research Proposal
After the dissertation proposal has been approved, the student will nominate a research committee consisting of no fewer than three members of the English department faculty and a representative of the minor.
Final Examination: Oral dissertation defense, at the completion of the dissertation project.
Ph.D. Minor in Comparative Ethnic and Postcolonial Studies
The CEPS minor enables students to analyze constructions of ethnicity and situation expressive cultural production within the context of geopolitical relations. Four courses (4 credits each), to include Introduction to Comparative Ethnic and Postcolonial Studies, one further course each in ethnic and in postcolonial studies, and one course of the student's choosing with relevant content, subject to approval by the minor advisor, must be taken. At least one course must be outside the English Department. The capstone experience will be provided by an ongoing colloquium series. Students will be expected to attend colloquia as active members of the minor. As advanced graduate students they will formalize their participation in one semester by registering for 2 credits, attending regularly, and presenting their own research (either an advanced seminar paper, an article prepared for publication, or the forerunner of the dissertation proposal).
Ph.D. Minor in Creative Writing
Three courses, to be chosen from W511 (Writing Fiction), W513 (Writing Poetry), W550 (Teaching Creative Writing in the Community), W615 (Writing Creative Nonfiction), W664 (Topics in Current Literature), and W680 (Theory and Craft of Writing). Students who want to pursue this minor must submit to the Creative Writing Director a brief personal statement outlining your wish to pursue this minor and a writing sample (10 poems for poets and 25 pages for fiction writers).
Ph.D. Minor in English and Germanic Philology
Four courses, to include G601 Old English and at least one of the other older Germanic languages; i.e., German G632 Gothic, G635 Old Icelandic, G638 Old High German, G639 Old Saxon, and G640 Middle High German. The remaining courses may be chosen from English G602 Middle English, G655 History of the English Language, L710 Beowulf, L711 Old English Literature; German G532 History of the German Language, and G625 Colloquium in Germanic Linguistics (when the topic is appropriate), G640 Reading Middle High German, G636 Old Icelandic Literature, G835 Seminar in Germanic Linguistics (when the topic is appropriate), and any of the remaining older Germanic languages listed above.
Ph.D. Minor in Feminist Critical Studies
The Minor in Feminist Critical Studies emphasizes feminist criticism and theory. It requires four courses (at least 15 hours of credit), including English L663 Introduction to Feminist Critical Studies and at least one course outside the Department of English; each course must be passed with a grade of B+ (3.3) or higher. Relevant courses include English L605, L700, L707, and L773; Fine Arts A474 and A674; Cultural Studies C601 and C602; Communication and Culture C551 and C604; and Telecommunications T651. Students should consult with the minor advisor in the English department about specific courses of study.
Ph.D. Minor in Literacy Studies
Jointly administered by the Department of English and the School of Education, the minor requires a minimum of four courses, including English L502, Education L630, and two courses selected from an approved list, at least one of which must be outside the English department. For School of Education students, three of the four courses must be outside the student's major area. Students should confer with one of the advisors of the Literacy Studies minor; their names can be obtained from the director of graduate studies.
Ph.D. Minor in Literary Theory
Jointly administered by the Departments of English and Comparative Literature, the minor requires a minimum of three courses, including at least one selected from Comparative Literature C503, C504, C601, or C602; and one from English G660, L605, L607, L608, or L707.

Ph.D. Minor in Literature and Science
The literature and science minor consists of four courses. Two of the four will be Department of English courses from the area of literature and science. One of those English courses will be L769 Literature and Science, the "core" course for the minor. The non-English department courses will come from a relevant science, from the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, or from some other relevant (nonliterary) discipline. The minor will be administered by the director of graduate studies in English, in consultation with the literature and science faculty as necessary.
Graduate Area Certificate in English and Germanic Philology
Also offered is a certificate in English and Germanic philology, requiring four courses in addition to the four required for the minor. These may include any of the courses listed previously, as well as courses in other departments (e.g., linguistics, folklore, classical studies, and anthropology) that are relevant to the history and prehistory of the Germanic languages, and to early Germanic literature and culture. For information about relevant courses, see the graduate advisor in the Department of English.

After having its 38-game conference winning streak come to a halt last weekend versus No. 68 USC Upstate, the Bucs have bounced back nicely by picking up a pair of wins over Campbell and now the Bisons. ETSU improved to 9-7, 6-1 with the win, while Lipscomb dropped to 4-9, 1-6 on the year.
"We played in a tough atmosphere today and overcame some adversity to beat Lipscomb," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "The courts we played on were brand new and probably the slowest we have seen all year, but our guys adapted well to get an important conference victory. Lipscomb gave us a tough test, and the conference race has gotten a lot tighter over the years, so our guys know they have to come prepared each time out if we want to win. The team has done a good job working hard all season, and today's victory was a prime example of that."
Like the women's team did earlier in the day, the Bucs stepped up and took the doubles point; however, Lipscomb's men provided more of a test. Junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) defeated Joe McArdle and Mario Hernandez in No. 1 doubles, 9-7. After Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) and Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) fell to Lipscomb's second doubles team, 8-6, ETSU's Ofir Weintraub (Rishon Le Zion, Israel) and Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Colombia) took care of business in third doubles action. The Buccaneer tandem - who were battle tested by Mario Hernandez and Colby Shaw - dug deep to find a way to win, 9-8.
"Lipscomb gave us a test in doubles, but I think that motivated us when we got into singles play," added Zaatini.
Zaatini proved to be right, as the hard-fought doubles match gave ETSU an extra ounce of energy in singles action.
The Bucs won each match in straight sets except for Hangstefer taking one from Teraz in No. 2 singles. With Teraz taking the first set (7-6), the Lipscomb senior won the second (3-6); however, the ETSU junior maintained his composure by winning the match in a super-tiebreaker, 10-7.
Meanwhile, in number one singles, Gille - the Belgium bruiser - dropped Chad Pierron, 6-2, 6-2. In No. 3 singles, Bottoni sent Hernandez packing in straight sets - 6-3, 6-1.
Then, ETSU took any momentum swing away from the Bisons when Bandres swept Shaw, 6-0, 6-0, in the fourth slot. As Bandres made quick work of Shaw, Robin Asker (Omskoldsvik, Sweden) picked up the win in No. 5 singles - defeating McArdle 6-4, 6-2. Rounding out action at number six was Jeremy Bonnevalle's (Keerbergen, Belgium) 6-3, 6-2, win over Tanner Brown.
"To this point our guys have had a productive season and we have done a great job not dwelling on the loss to USC Upstate a week ago," Zaatini said. "Overall we played very well today and now we have to get our rest before taking on another sound squad in Belmont."
The Bucs serve for the Nashville sweep Saturday when ETSU takes on Belmont at 11 a.m. (Eastern).

Product Details
We took our favorite blazer and updated it in our most modern Ludlow fit (think narrow lapels and a trimmer silhouette), then added traditional tailor-made details and a double-vented back to make it even better. Some of the carefully constructed finishing touches you'll find include interior pickstitching and suiting-fabric trim at the welts—they aren't details you can see from the outside, but we think they make all the difference.

Car Review: 2013 Honda Civic 4DR EX-L NAVI
In the battle for the compact sedan crown, Honda has come in with a refreshed Civic that is clearly the best Civic ever. The top-selling and award-winning Honda Civic returns for 2013 with a host of design upgrades and a bevy of new standard features, while still maintaining the efficiency and value that has made the Civic an automotive icon for the past 40 years.
The crimson pearl 2013 Honda Civic 4DR EX-L NAVI has a distinctive look and a confidence that comes with years of excellence. For 2013, the Honda Civic has received a host of changes that far exceed the typical mid-model refresh. The front and rear styling of the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan has been completely altered for a more youthful and premium feel, including sheet metal changes with an all-new hood and trunk lid. Up front, a new open-mouth lower bumper with a horizontal chrome accent and a sportier, black honeycomb mesh grille is anchored by new integrated fog lights on EX-L and above trims. The grille is flanked by new clear-lens corner lights to provide a more premium look. The 2013 Civic's more sculpted front end flows into a taller, more deeply faceted hood.
In back, a new rear bumper design and rear trunk lid are capped by a clean, horizontal chrome trim piece. The all-new design of the jewel-like taillights now carries into the trunk face, providing a more finished and upscale look. The rear bumper features integrated reflector treatments and a new lower diffuser panel finished with a honeycomb mesh vent. While the expressive exterior styling of the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe remains unchanged, restyled wheels on all models help sharpen the look of the 2013 Civic.
With a brand new design for 2013, there are many changes in the cabin of the 2013 Civic, but there is also a familiarity that the Honda brand carries over from decades of advancements. Inside, extensive refinements in design and construction gives the entire 2013 Honda Civic lineup a more premium feel, with an all-new tricot headliner, new soft-touch materials on the instrument panel and upper door treatment, and revised textures and panel junctions throughout the instrument panel and center console. Subtle silver accents in the interior lend a higher-quality look, along with door panel and seat fabric upgrades. Providing a more upscale environment, black carpeting and a trunk lid finisher are now standard on all Civic models. For the first time, Civic is available in both cloth and leather with an all-black interior. Our test model boasted beige leather that was upscale and sporty.

German Election Study, 1996 (Politbarometer) (ICPSR 34817)
Principal Investigator(s): View help for Principal Investigator(s)
Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (Mannheim)
This is an external resource to which ICPSR links as a courtesy. These data are not available from ICPSR. Users should consult the data owners (via German Election Study, 1996 (Politbarometer)) directly for details on obtaining these resources.
Summary View help for Summary
The Politbarometer series of German Election Studies has been administered monthly since 1977. Surveys were conducted only in West Germany until 1990, when East German Politbarometers were added to the series. The surveys are intended to assess the attitudes and opinions of eligible German voters on current events and problems, as well as on parties and politicians. In 1996, the surveys were united and were no longer designated as East or West. This data collection consists of a cumulative file of the monthly Politbarometer surveys for 1996. In these surveys, certain political questions were asked each month, while other topical questions were asked irregularly or only once.

The residual effects of last month's unprecedented rains and damaging flooding are still visible in some places around Boulder Reservoir.
Puddles dot the main parking lot and a large pool of standing water, cordoned off by caution tape, abuts the shelter near the swim beach.
But the reservoir and nearby Coot Lake and Tom Watson Park areas are now in the best shape they've been since the storm, thanks to the efforts of about 300 volunteers who flocked to those areas to move debris, rebuild trails and move dirt on Saturday.
One in a series of volunteer projects organized by the city to clean up and restore parks and open space areas after the flood, Boulder Parks and Recreation officials put out the call last week for "a few hundred volunteers" to help out at the areas on Saturday.
With about 230 volunteers showing up for the morning session and another 60 stopping by to finish things up at the reservoir is the afternoon, according to city officials, it was safe to say the project met its goals.
"They exceeded our expectations and in some cases our tools," Boulder Parks and Planning Superintendent Jeff Dillon said with a laugh. "We were glad to have them."
About 100 volunteers cleared debris from Tom Watson Parks and around Coot Lake before laying fresh gravel on the trails on the north side of the reservoir where they had been washed out by rain, Dillon said. Another 130 or so volunteers repaired gaps in the road on the south side, and also repaired trails and areas where the swim beach had been severely eroded by floodwaters.
The crews stopped short of laying fresh sand on the swim beach because it is now closed for the season, Dillon said. That will be laid down in the spring.
All of the work means that the trails are now open all the way around the reservoir, Dillon said.
"(The reservoir) opened last week to boating and is one of the best places to run," Dillon said. "There must have been 150 runners here at 8 this morning when we got here because a lot of the mountain trails are still impassable."
In the afternoon volunteers continued to smooth over holes on the main beach, and fill in washed-out volleyball courts.
Susie Youn was among the volunteers in the afternoon session. Noting she was lucky that her home was not severely impacted by the flood, Youn said she and a few neighbors volunteered to clean up North Boulder Park last week and were motivated to pitch in again this week. She was among a group of eight that signed up to help Saturday afternoon.
"Boulder has been good to us and we want to give back," Youn said.
Youn's daughter, Jessica Booth -- who, along with a few of her middle school classmates, also helped with the cleanup -- celebrated her 12th birthday at the reservoir in August.
Eevee Murdock, 12, identified several benefits to the volunteer work, including the exercise and the chance to socialize with friends while also helping the community.
"Then you can feel good when you come back. You can be like, 'I helped rebuild that road,'" she said.
Dillon also noted the great opportunity volunteer projects present to build community. The city is planning anther project, one that will clean up Eben G. Fine Park and then move east along the Boulder Creek Path all the way to Scott Carpenter Park, for Oct. 18 and 19. Details about the project and online signup information will be available on the parks and recreation website, bouldercolorado.gov/parks-rec.
City resident Glenn Maslyn was among the shovel-wielding volunteers on the swim beach. With his own home luckily being spared heavy damage, he said he helped family friends gut their flooded basement last week and felt compelled to pitch in on some city recovery projects as well.
"Everybody is super active. Everybody is participating," he said of the efforts on the beach, adding the he plans to volunteer for future cleanups around the city as well. "My weekends are pretty quiet these days. It keeps me out of trouble."

Riding a new wave of necessity, educational construction is trying to keep pace with rapidly rising enrollments throughout the country. But rather than simply constructing K-12 schools as quickly and inexpensively as possible, school districts and building teams are seeking innovative ways to infuse educational facilities with a sense of community — making them once again centers of social life — while designing in the technology needed for today's students.
Doors open to community
The school's return to its status as a community gathering place began in the mid 1990s after more than a decade of self-imposed isolation, experts say. "In the '70s and '80s, schools were shutting themselves off from the community, closing their doors at 4:30," says Michael Hall, chief marketing officer for the A/E firm of Fanning/Howey Associates Inc., Celina, Ohio, which specializes in school design. "They have begun to realize that reconnecting with their communities is a positive thing."
This reconnection is being accomplished by schools throughout the country in two ways: through the architectural expression of the school building as a reflection of its community, and by the use of the school as a facility to provide community services in addition to traditional educational activities.
While not entirely new, the trend toward the community use of schools is greater than it has ever been, according to Craig Mason, principal in charge of education projects for the Seattle office of A/E DLR Group. "The last major school boom in the '60s was focused on how fast schools could be built. Now, firms are being asked for the architecture to accommodate many different learning styles and all sorts of different uses. There is much more focus on including user groups and collaboration."
This increased user-group collaboration in the decision-making and design process can be time consuming, but worthwhile, Hall says. "It takes time and requires commitment on the part of the school districts and designers, and there are cost and schedule implications, but it improves the final product," he says.
Reflections upon the waters
Examples of these final products abound. For instance, nestled in the Seattle neighborhood known as Ballard, Whittier Elementary School uses the locale's most prominent feature — a nearby canal populated by fishing boats and salmon — as a metaphor. DLR Group designed the canal motif into the school with the concept serving as a passage from the front door through to the playground.
"Our goal was not to create something that was 'Disneyesque," says Mason. "We didn't want theme architecture. The goal was to make the design subtle and abstract."
An aquatic motif was also developed for the design of the Niagara Falls (N.Y.) High School. Designed by the Princeton, N.J.-based architectural firm The Hillier Group, the structure was inspired by the energy and natural beauty of Niagara Falls, according to the firm. The school makes use of earthy tan and brown tones, while blues reflect the mist of water.
In its design of the new 1,000-student Fort Recovery Elementary/Middle School in Fort Recovery, Ohio, Fanning/Howey incorporated the village's historic downtown into the building's linear "Main Street" corridor. The hallway provides access from the front entry to each of the school's academic "neighborhoods" and major program areas, such as the gymnasium, combination auditorium/cafeteria — called an auditeria — and the media center.
The corridor floor is tiled to resemble an old-fashioned brick street, and walls are lined with old-style lampposts and historic building façades, including those of a courthouse, community library and theater.
Doing away with duplication
Many of the same schools that have incorporated thematic community elements into their buildings also house community services. Use of school property for social events and civic meetings has become common throughout the country. Exercise facilities, swimming pools and health-care facilities are often shared, and school facilities also are housing child care, senior centers and other community services.
Conducting school activities and community services under one roof mostly comes down to economics; costs are reduced for community services, and schools often receive amenities that they otherwise may not. "Why not use the schools as a delivery point for those programs instead of duplicating bricks and mortar for every building?" asks Carmen Granto, superintendent, Niagara Falls City School District.
Of course, Hall adds, the facilities have to be designed appropriately. Most community services are located in zones separate from but shared with the educational facility.
Security must be given special consideration in these instances. But according to Hall, recent tragedies such as those at Colorado's Columbine High School only show how serious the need is to redevelop a sense of community in schools. Sharing facilities, he says, can help.
In an arrangement between the city of Twinsburg, Ohio, and the local school district, for example, the city helped fund a swimming pool, field house, locker rooms and child-care space that are a part of the new Twinsburg High School. For another of Fanning/Howey's projects, Medina (Ohio) High School, local officials pledged $7.5 million to attach its proposed community recreation center to the school. When the school is completed, a local hospital will lease part of the community center to expand its health and wellness education and physical therapy services. Additional amenities have received funding through a local performing-arts foundation.
Booting up for computers
As schools reconnect with their communities, computer technology is enabling them to connect their students to the world. Widespread use of computers has changed approaches to teaching, says DLR Group's Mason. "There's no longer the chalk-and-talk mentality," he says. "There are computer labs, more interactive learning and more project-oriented learning."
California's newly opened San Diego Jewish Academy features a sophisticated fiber-optic backbone, with 120 miles of conduit for classrooms that use 700 computers. Planners of the K-10 school wanted to eliminate redundant systems and create a single integrated system to operate its computers, as well as telephone, security, bell, clock and television systems.
According to Doug Reiss, the academy's director of operations, the cabling connects students to 15 servers in a dedicated server room. "Fiber optics take signals from the servers through a main router and send them out to the intermediate systems housed in different buildings," says Reiss. Through a system of high-speed, Category 6 fiber-optic cabling switches, signals are sent to designated desktops.
The school has one computer for every two students in grades 6-10, one for every four students in grades 2-5 and one for every six students in K-1.
"We're a city school, our kids have a little farther to go," says Granto of Niagara Falls High School, which serves a low-income community. "We think the key to the future is being technologically proficient." Toward this end, every classroom in the district is connected via fiber-optic wiring. And each student at Niagara Falls High School is issued a laptop computer.
Students and parents sign a "reasonable use" contract with the school district, making them responsible for the equipment. Of 2,400 laptops issued, Granto says only 20 are missing so far. "Technology is critically integrated into our curriculum," says Granto, who adds that with laptops, students can do work at lunch in the cafeteria and send it electronically to the teacher. The students can also take the laptops home.
Carbondale (Ill.) Community High School has taken a different path toward use of laptop computers. The school purchased 30 laptop computers and two computer carts to create two mobile computer laboratories to service its classrooms. A printer on each cart is equipped with an infrared port to connect laptops to the printers without cables. Presently the labs are stand-alone units, and are neither networked nor Internet accessible.
This technology is changing rapidly, according to Virginia Appuhn, a math teacher who doubles as the school's technology facilitator. "Recently, all major computer manufacturers have put together packages of notebook computer carts that feature wireless ports and network cards so the machines can be part of a network," says Appuhn. "An access point or antenna is hooked to an existing data drop in the room; the access point acts as hub and all units can access the network through that port." The mobile wireless labs are expected to be Carbondale High's computer link to the world when staff and students of the school move into a new facility that is now under construction.
In an era when the need for community involvement and technological innovation is so strong, the school is again taking its place as nurturer and facilitator. Through the positive reflection of and interaction with the community, school planners and their building teams are providing a solid base from which students can explore an outside world that, thanks to computer technology, is at their fingertips.

Hi again,
If anyone has feedback I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hi all,
I'm new to machining and this forum. I just got my machine in January. My Shoptask is not CNC'd (yet) but this is probably the most active forum I've found related to the shoptask.
I had some trouble finding good/current information on the Shoptask while I was researching what machine to get and trying to figure out what I'd need to set it up. As Bloy2004 suggested I used an excelent guide by Tangoromeo. Of course now the Tri-power is out, so I guess new buyers are on their own again.
Anyway, since there was so little current info out there I decided to put up my own site. Not a guide really, just some observations on my experience.
Right now I'm working through some motor problems. Thanks in advance for checking out my site.

How about making Flash optional so people w/o flash can still use the site?
Otherwise, it could be a fine and much appreciated help for Shoptask users.
Sorry bout that, only the logo was done with flash, the rest of the site is HTML. I added a hyperlink to the splash page in case you can't load the .swf file.

Damn dude , I,m impressed $4 grand investment for a beginner machinist?
Heh... four k for a startup hobby is relatively minor. Have you priced snowmobiles or jetskis?
Nice looking site Dahui. Should be helpful for other new owners. I do have to admit though that the flash front page is annoying to me too.
psst... on the endmill breakage, check www.mscdirect and order something so you get on their mailing list. They almost always have import endmill sets in their mailers for very reasonable prices. Make good expendable "learn on them" tooling.
Thanks for the endmill tips, I'll check it out.
I'm also a freelance product designer so I've decided to do some of my own prototyping with the new machine, which helps take some of the sting out of the price. It is pretty comparable to anything else like golf or scuba diving or something. Machined stuff has always been fascinating to me and I waited about twelve years to finally get my hands into it.
It feels a lot better getting back into some fabrication, the computer was stealing my soul.
By the way, can I ask why you guys find the flash annoying? Just curious.
For me the annoyance of the flash intro pages is the obligatory wait. It's like a dvd that requires you to watch 10 minutes of trailers to see the movie you want. It's not so bad on highspeed, but on dialup the freeze while the flash loaded used annoy me enough that I'd often hit the reset button just to escape
Oh i,m not really knocking how much ya spent I,m just jealous, it is a beauty of a machine..
I am also dialup + Flash is usually just a time waster for me.Originally Posted by dahui
Most all of the material I'm interested in and needing is in html format.
(Use only Win 98 & Linux with Opera browser)
Your site is exceptionally well done with useful tips on what, why & how.
I hate Flash and any other time waster, don't really want to see how "clever" some flash guy is, just let me see the good stuff, asap.
Hey folks,
At the suggestion of a couple folks on the ST users forum I sanded the gibs and the ways today and things seem better. I haven't had the chance to take any test cuts. I was surprised at how rough the finishes were upon closer inspection, or rather how much difference some elbow grease could make. The X axis is glassy now. I could have sanded that gib more, but my arm was pretty tired after doing the way and the tailstock. I don't have a grinder so I did it by hand with 400 and 600 grit wet paper and Tapmatic.
I've also made a bunch of updates to my site if anyone is interested. I made a mounting bracket for my DRO over the last couple days, just finished it tonight.

Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle Supports Scholarships at Windward CCWindward Community College
Dir of Communications
WINDWARD CC - The Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle (LKOC) recently donated $6,000 to fund scholarships at Windward Community College. This gift will be awarded to students during the 2014-2015 academic year.
"Preserving, protecting and enhancing our environment are all important to the Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle," said Lyn Turner, Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle president. "Supporting students with scholarships at Windward CC who could have a direct impact in environmentally or agriculturally based careers is our best hedge for future generations. We also enjoy getting to know and encouraging 'our' students," she continued.
This new gift will support existing LKOC scholarships at Windward CC: the LKOC Environment Studies Scholarship and the WCC Agriculture Scholarship. To date, the LKOC Environment Studies Scholarship, established in 2010, has awarded $7,000. The WCC Agriculture Scholarship was established in 1993 and has awarded a total of $24,000 in scholarship support.
"While the cost to attend any of our community colleges is highly affordable at $3,000 per year, many of our students struggle dearly to pay for tuition, books and fees," said Windward Community College Chancellor Doug Dykstra. He continued, "The Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle scholarship is critical to the success of our students and we are very grateful to the LKOC members who help to raise funds and direct them to us for our students."

Last Will and Testament of Edmund Brinkley 18 March 1853
Source: Albert Morris Collection (Mss. Coll. #19.1.a.4)
Staff Person: Jonathan Dembo
Edmund Brinkley was a Chowan County farmer, who owned several plots of agricultural land along the Virginia Road and Bear Swamp Road near Deep Run and the Pocosin Swamp. In his last will and testament (page one shown above) Brinkley reveals almost as much about rural life in mid-19th century North Carolina as he does about his own character and strength of mind. Brinkley writes, for example, that although on his death bed and "very sick" he is still "of sound and disposing mind and merry". Brinkley, who owned houses, farm equipment, crops, and two slaves, disposes of this property apparently equitably between his wife, three sons, and four daughters, only one of whom was yet married. He also indicated how he intended the property he bequeathed to his wife should be be divided after her death. Brinkley named his son, Miles C. Brinkley, to be the executor and guardian of his older daughters Susan M. and Martha J. Brinkley and his son William T. Brinkley; he named his wife Susannah Brinkley to be guardian of his younger daughters Rosannah Brinkley and Ann E. Brinkley, and of his son Albert E. Brinkley. He named no guardian for his married daughter, Sarah E. Creecy presumably because he felt that she was being well protected by her husband. He authorized Miles to run his farm and dispose of certain property to benefit his heirs.
Among the property Brinkley divided among his heirs, Edmund lists the contents of a work house, cook room, smokehouse, and a store room, which held 50 barrels of corn, 30 bushels of wheat, 3,000 lbs. of fodder, 20 bushels of peas, 1,500 lbs. of pork, 1,000 lbs. of herring and 6 bushels of salt indicating that he derived much of his income from rearing cows, sheep, and pigs, rather than from the crops he raised, and from the herring fishery. In describing his property, Edmund lists the boundaries as running along an extensive system of drainage ditches, showing him to be an active and "improving" farmer. His property, lying as it did near streams and swamps, must have been low-lying and waterlogged during most of the year, and would have been much less productive without such close attention to drainage.
Brinkley must have been among the more successful farmers in the Chowan County area. He was, however, clearly not among the wealthiest or greatest landowners in the region. His land holdings may have amounted to several hundred acres but he certainly did not own thousands of acres of farm land and there is no indication that he grew cotton or tobacco, the crops favored by the great landowners who owned large numbers of slaves. Brinkley, himself, was a slave owner, but not on a scale required to run a plantation. He disposed of only two slaves by his will, one of whom was a girl and the other of whom was a boy not yet sixteen years of age. Brinkley and his family must have done most of the farm and fishing work by themselves or with hired slave labor. The balance of the Albert Morris Collection consists of deeds for property that belonged to Edmund Brinkley and an account book that lists some of his purchases and sales during the last few years of his life. It also lists sums paid for the rental of slaves and fees paid for membership in the local Grange organization.

Matthew McConaughey: Globes Best Actor Wants To Grind
It wasn't a secret. Matthew McConaughey wanted it. Bad. He's been working for it for almost two years. Sarah called it first – way, way back. 12 months too early, in fact. That Matthew McConaughey would win Oscar. And… well…he's getting closer. But let us him enjoy last night first.
That fist pump was endearing to me. I like that he couldn't hold it back. That he didn't saunter up there like the journey was more important that the destination, or some sh-t, although he did throw in a JKL at the end but the point is – he let it be known that it FELT GOOD to win, that he enjoyed winning, and that he wants to do it more and more and more…
And then I half expected him to start grinding up on the stage, against his trophy, or the mic stand. That man was giving himself an erection. His victory was making him hard. It was half his character from Magic Mike, with shades of Wooderson in between. I'm telling you – they made a 4th child last night, alright, alright, alright. The way he looked in that green tux, I would have let him too.

Good point, and maybe they will. However, this time there is some actual pressure not to. I'm wondering if Microsoft isn't feeling the burn some in Europe, where they seem to be far more aggressive than we are here about regulating monopolistic behavior, a bit more willing to mandate open source solutions. Lot of money in Europe... Maybe, just maybe, they're starting to feel the burn here as well. rgb -- Robert G.

In television's "Star Trek," the crew used "replicators" to instantly create anything from Earl Grey tea to engine parts. For modern science, that remains something of a frontier. But Z Corporation in Burlington, Mass., is working on a real-world variation that comes stunningly close.
The company stands among the early players in 3-D printing, in which engineers load up a schematic of what they want, feed in some plastic, and watch a machine print out a fully formed model – complete with moving parts.
At its heart, this style of "rapid prototyping" relies on a simple concept: building an object one cross section at a time, similar to laying down LEGO bricks to make a larger shape.
The field is still very young, says Scott Harmon, vice president of business development at Z Corporation. Several companies make these three-dimensional printers, the cheapest of which sells for about $10,000.
Despite a wide array of potential uses, interest and investment has been slow because "even designing a door hinge is pretty difficult," says Mr. Harmon. What's missing is the "killer app" – the thing that will give 3-D printing companies a reason to mass-produce. "You'd need to have some reason to want to make something you couldn't get in a store."
Z Corporations' printers use a powder as the basis for the things it builds. The powder is laid down in a thin layer. When the printer head passes over it, the nozzle sprays out a glue-like substance instead of ink. The bed on which the powder is laid then moves down 4/10000ths of an inch, another layer of powder is put down and the process repeats. Making a small part can take a few hours – and the current generation of 3-D printers can produce parts up to about 640 cubic inches, somewhat bigger than a basketball.
The advantage to Z Corp.'s method – and other systems that use powder – is that hollow spaces can exist in the model, saving on material. The powder also acts as a support. The downside is that the model isn't as strong, unless you dip it into a resin, which soaks into the tiny pores on the surface.
Harmon says that, besides industry, there is a market for making one-off models that Z Corp serves. One big application: wedding-cake toppers.
Other companies, notably Dimension in Eden Prairie, Minn., make machines that use plastic. The machine works in a similar fashion, laying down plastic layer by layer. The difference is that the print head alternates between the plastic used in the model and a support material, which helps keep the shape for overhangs and hollow forms. The supporting material can be chipped off the finished models.
An Israeli company, Objet, has a version that can make a wider variety of shapes and uses a resin. As each layer prints, the resin is dried and cured with an ultraviolet lamp.
One company is making a printer for use in the home – or so they say. Desktop Factory, of Pasadena, Calif., is still seeking funding, but Cathy Lewis, its chief executive, says the company has built several prototypes and is beta testing. She hopes to be able to sell a printer for about $5,000 – still expensive, but not that much more than the price of a laser printer back in the 1980s. Their printer uses a halogen lamp to cure the plastic it uses.
That said, she doesn't expect to ship any for some time, and notes that for most people it would still be expensive.
Smaller players have taken inventive approaches, too. Alvaro Fogassa, an engineer from Curitiba, Brazil, took an old plotter printer – the kind you can still see in shops – and altered the print head. Mr. Fogassa has been experimenting with different materials, but the idea is the same as with Z Corp.'s printers.
Even though he was able to use off-the-shelf parts – proving that in theory, at least, one could make a printer for a few hundred dollars – the problem isn't the printers. Fogassa says that using computer-aided design software is difficult at best, and until there is a version that allows even new users to design things easily, then 3-D printing is likely to stay in the office, rather than the home.
Still, the technology is finding a market. Bradley Rigdon, of Tunkhannock, Pa., bought a machine from Dimension. It's about the size of a refrigerator, and cost the former machine-shop worker $15,000.
For less than $75 (his rates vary according to size and complexity) he can make a plastic model from a computer file, he says, generated by any of a number of popular design programs. Mr. Rigdon's business is still firmly in the start-up phase. But he says he has done work for design firms and modelers, rendering in plastic everything from engine parts to small figurines, and even an improved iPhone case.
Others are in the hunt. Peter Weij-marshausen, chief executive of the Netherlands-based firm Shapeways, said he wanted to take the ability of the Internet to reach people and combine it with a desire for customization. The Web-based Shapeways can take a photo, Mr. Weijmarshausen says, and create a 3-D rendering using any one of two or three different printers.
Weijmarshausen says one of his biggest orders was for napkin holders for a wedding, and that he expects the eventual market will be in such items – ones that are needed by the tens or hundreds at most, rather than thousands.
Bruce Bradshaw, director at Objet, agrees that the "service bureau" model is likely to emerge first. He envisions an engineering student, say, going to a local Kinko's and producing his prototype.
Others see developments in more permanent materials, including metal.
ProMetal, of Irwin, Pa., uses a stainless-steel powder heated to high temperatures to create objects that are then coated with liquid bronze that soaks into the stainless steel, infiltrating it and giving it strength.
Jenna Gragg, a ProMetal representative, points to applications in dentistry. Another division of the company uses the rapid prototyping machines to make dental implants.

Thank you for explaining this Margaret. At the Griffon Seminar it was stated that Griffons, healthy or otherwise, were also included in the scheme. Is this still the case?
At the time we were told to notify the GB club secretary in the event, does this still apply or is there a central agency?
Best wishes

Yvonne's Bible Cards
Yvonne Smith bought these cards
from the nuns and teachers
of Old Palace School in Croydon.
They show different stories
from the Bible.
The money raised was used
to help fund missionary work in Africa.

Yvonne describes buying the Bible Cards:
"When I was a girl
I went to Old Palace School.
Some of the nuns and the teachers there
used to sell these cards
with Bible stories on them.
They were very keen
on our knowing the Bible
and these cards were for sale
for perhaps tuppence each
and I bought them
with my pocket money.
It was a way of raising money
for missionary societies,
and helping children in Africa,
providing them with
corrugated iron roofs for their huts,
and spreading the Gospel."
A missionary is someone
who is sent to another country
to spread religious teachings
and usually also to do social
and medical work.
The nineteenth century
saw the peak of British Christian
missionary activity.
Missionaries travelled to all parts
of the British Empire
as well as other countries
such as China.
Missionary activity continues today,
often closely connected
to development work.

Lipscomb senior Garret Pettis has been named to Soccer America's National Team of the Week for the week of Oct. 10-16, the website announced Thursday.
Pettis scored a career-high four goals in Lipscomb's 5-0 victory against North Florida, Sunday. The Elizabethtown, Pa. native tied the Lipscomb record with his offensive explosion, equaling the mark set by Scott Mason against Centenary on Oct. 24, 2005; no A-Sun player had scored four goals in one contest since Mason. The performance is also tied for the seventh-best goal-scoring output by an individual in single game in A-Sun history.
With his final goal of the day, Pettis tied former teammate Miguel DaSilva for most goals in a career by a Bisons player with 32.
Pettis was named the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week for the first time this season, and third of his career. The award from Soccer America marks the first time a Lipscomb men's soccer player has earned a spot on a national team of the week.
Pettis is now the A-Sun's season-leader in points (19) and tied with Belmont's Brandon Tarr for the league lead in goals (8).
Lipscomb continues its regular season with a weekend road trip to A-Sun rivals Florida Gulf Coast (Oct. 21) and Stetson (Oct. 23).

Police are on the hunt for thieves who they say stole over $100,000 worth of diamonds from a jewelry store in Mercer County, N.J.
Robert Tindall, owner of Tindall Diamonds and Jewelry on Washington Boulevard in Robbinsville Township, told NBC10 that a man came into his store by himself shortly before 6 p.m. Tindall says the man wanted to see an assortment of loose diamonds.
About 10 minutes later, Tindall says a man and a woman showed up who wanted to see some jewelry as well.
"She even said to me, when she wanted to look at earrings if I could put it on her ear," Tindall said. "I told her 'no' and that I wasn't comfortable doing that."
As the woman spoke with him, Tindall says the other two men swiped the box of loose diamonds, worth over $100,000. The three suspects then rushed out of the store.
"I knew something was stolen," Tindall said. "I rushed out and they almost peeled out without the gal. She started screaming and then they stopped and let her in the car."
Tindall took out his phone and snatched a picture of the getaway car, a black Audi A4 with a model year between 2000 and 2006 with Pennsylvania license plates.
Tindall, who says this is the first time he's been robbed in his 30 years in the jewelry business, believes four people were involved, the three people who were inside the store and the getaway driver.
Police are currently reviewing surveillance video from inside the store.

In NCAA Summer League action last Tuesday, number one Kelly Green convincingly repulsed another title contender, beating the Orange team 78-54. Players with local ties were on both sides in Purple's 68-58 win over Cardinal Red, and a Germantown Academy grad led the White team in a come-from-behind barnburner against Royal Blue.
In one of the early games, GA's Jesse Carey helped the White dig themselves out of a deep hole to eke out a 63-60 victory over Royal Blue. Royal plays well together, since the squad is structured around half-a-dozen players from Holy Family University, a program that is always nationally ranked in NCAA Division II.
Down by as many as 19 points during the first half, the White women had reduced their deficit slightly by halftime, when the tally was 40-27. It took Carey's club most of the second half to finally overtake the Royal Blue bunch, and she would lead the way with a game-high 21 points. The Villanova junior hit her team's last three points from the foul line, where she shot ten-for-12 for the night.
Next door, league-leading Kelly Green was squaring off against one of the two teams tied for second place, the Orange franchise. The Orange owned a modest 8-5 advantage with a few minutes elapsed, but Mount St. Joe grad Elle Hagedorn stole the ball and scored on the break for Kelly Green, which went into the lead soon afterward.
The reversal of fortune eventually prompted the Orange side to call a time-out with 8:19 remaining in the opening half, when the score was 25-17. The deficit did not grow significantly after that for the Orange, but they still found themselves down by a 36-25 count at the interlude.
They needed to reduce the gap to single digits without delay, but instead Kelly Green came out smoking for the start of the second half, and in the space of five minutes had its lead up over 20 points, at 51-30. The teams were as far as 29 points apart later on, with the final margin settling in at 24. Hagedorn finished with four points and another former Mountie, Sarah McGorry, had eight. The winners got 13 points apiece from McGorry's Lafayette College teammate, Kelly Loughney, and from Lehigh University's Kelly Peterson.
In one of the late games, Chestnut Hill College alum Chant'al Hardy and newly-minted Mount graduate Mary Jo Horgan played for Cardinal Red. Opposing them for the Purple team were Nikki Guynn, a 2010 Penn Charter grad, and Cathy Peduzzi, who earned her diploma from GA late in the last century.
Down 37-34 at halftime, Cardinal Red gained a 40-39 lead early in the second period, then soon fell behind again. The Cardinal club was only down one, 54-53, when it called its final time-out with 6:36 left to play, but when the action resumed Purple pumped up its lead.
In overview, the Red's hopes were washed away by a Purple rain of three-pointers by former Archbishop Carroll star Erin Shields (St. Joseph's U.), who knocked down six treys as part of a game-high 23-point performance.
Peduzzi added two points for the winners, while Cardinal Red received six points from Horgan and two from Hardy. The leaders in the losing cause were Kaitlin Cole (Carroll/Holy Cross U.) and Alicia Manning (Cardinal O'Hara/Lafayette), with 11 points apiece.

Stop the presses: the Obama administration thinks the House GOP budget plan unveiled yesterday is bad for the country. Specifically, Office of Management and Budget Acting Director argues in a blog post today that the deep cuts in domestic discretionary spending mandated in the Republican plan would wreak havoc with basic operations of government:
The resolution would also make it extraordinarily difficult for government to do the basic business that people rightly expect of it. Evenly allocated cuts would mean deep reductions in the Federal Aviation Administration, leading to the elimination of air traffic control services in parts of the country. In 2014, there will be more than 4,500 fewer federal agents at the Department of Justice and the FBI to combat violent crime, pursue financial crimes, help secure the southwest border, and ensure national security, resulting in over 160,000 fewer criminal cases that can be prosecuted over the next decade. Starting in 2014 and continuing thereafter, hundreds of national parks would have to shut down for parts of the year. In 2014, more than 100,000 fewer workplace inspections to protect worker safety would occur. Basic enforcement of clean air and water laws would erode dramatically, with harmful effects on the health and well-being of the American people. We would not meet basic standards for food safety, putting the food we eat and serve our kids at risk. And our ability to efficiently administer core programs like Medicare and Social Security would be undermined; wait times would increase dramatically.

Brief Synopsis
Divisive debates over the future force structures of the U.S. Armed Forces have continued despite the Report of the Commission on Roles and Missions for the Armed Forces (May 1995) and the more recent reports of the Quadrennial Defense Review (May 1997) and the National Defense Panel (December 1997). Part of the reason for the bitter nature of these debates is due to parochial partisanship. Part is due to a lack of clear understanding of the individual components of military power or of their collective interrelationships. This latter conclusion may be particularly true for land power. Responsibility for this misunderstanding does not always fall at the feet of outside observers. No official definition or general articulation of land power currently exists. And, because land power is self-evident to most who wear Army or Marine Corps green, they see little need to explain land power to a broader audience. But, if national leaders are to have a fuller under- standing of land power, its central role in the growing interdependence of military power, or the policy options that land power's versatility brings to security policy planning and execution, then such explanations are imperative. To help fill this conceptual gap, the author offers a definition of land power to meet the demands of the 21st century. While defining land power is his primary purpose, he also places land power within the overarching context of total military power. Additionally, he highlights the growing interdependence among the components of national power.
